Root [ROM] CTMod 3.80 (04/06/13)

I just ran sdparted -i, setup the partitions, installed ctmod3.5, then the ctmodfix, and that was it. Never had to configure any file or any other steps, as I was told the install of ctmod3.5 auto-sets it up for you. I'm not use to using dos prompts and stuff, but that was easy. As far as I can tell, all is good.
 
So I guess I need to get motivated and redo all my apps. Reading over this last page about titanium backup has made me realize that I've been reinstalling apps with TI since 2.2 um wait a second..... actually since shabby and froyo. LOL I never knew you had to do fresh installs. I figured that's what TI was all about, ya know less work and rely on the miracle app to save the day. So ummmm I'm going to my room as punishment and I might as well delete all my apps and start over while I think about what I have done :(


EDIt: I see no problem with restoring them while on the same ROM right? Such as I'm on 3.5 with a fresh install of an app and I want to remove it then add it back on at a later date while I'm still on 3.5..... I commonly get rid of maps cause its always running in the back ground, then when I want to use it I restore it then get rid of it after I'm done with it.

That's the problem with Titanium. It's meant to be a backup and restore utility, not a port apps over to a new OS utility.

You wouldn't try to run a restore on your program files in windows after upgrading from Win95 to Windows 7, would you? Actually, most windows backup utilities are smart enough to stop you from doing something like that.

Maybe we should suggest to Titanium's dev to save the build ID with backups and check it before restoring
 
Yea but then people would whine that tb shafted them, and that its not functional or something... :rolleyes::D (it's a good idea tho, would save devs tons of headaches)

just freeze what don't want running and defrost when needed is faster:D

Very true now that I sit back and think about it. Seems like the problem is a lot of people use it the wrong way, unfortunately I didn't know all this before I started playing with the android phone. Obviously I learned to use it incorrectly from people suggesting bad practices and in turn I would suggest the same bad practice to the next Guy. It seems to be misinformation that keeps getting passed down in the community.

So lesson learned *slaps self on hand* :D

Also under filters there's options for viewing backups made on different rooms.
 
Alright I hope this isnt a stupid question, but where can I find the Kouma Odin Packer youre talking about? I first thought it was the Odin version of the KoumaKernal, then thought it was the FA19 Odin image by Kouma. Obviously I was wrong. I tried that little white box at the top of the page and it pointed me in the wrong directions, so damn that white box, damn you straight to hell!:D:confused:

When idling and the screen off my prevail with CTMod 3.4 is getting 39 and a half hours and still has 15% battery life left so yeah this phone is lasting quite a long while lol.
 
from my previous post about 3.5, i hope 3.6 is better...all the works hes done is great, just,for me anyway, 3.5 was like VISTA home on a P3 Computer with 512MB mem on a 64MB video card...it just wasnt happening..

i NEVER use TitaniumBackup, i use CWM to do a advanced Restore of DATA, which, before 3.5 worked flawlessly...seriously..

but now...its fudged. the phone/launcher..etc SEE the apps, but the shortcuts on the screen, get erased every reboot. plus some FC's, couple times on the launcher, XPERIA by sony, the browser is constantly lagging even with the flashed upgrade for it.

For backups, i just manually copy the apps to a folder on computer and the ones i actually use, i stick on a folder on the sd card. if im in a hurry, ill let Android Assistant Backup the apps for me.

i use auto starts and advanced task killer pro, to manage the ram . before i had 100 free in settings and when useing task it said only 43, so when doing things it would use up ram and lag and freezes would happen. now i always have like 145 free in settings and 100 free in task and have no lag at all and even have tried to over do it and still fast and smooth.


wierd how everyone else wants the swap and then says works great and no more lag, SO REALLY EVERYONE IS HAVING LAG ISSUES. whatever i'm doing is made mine run so fast it's like a new phone, rom whatever!!!! i would have to say on ssm with a 16 gig class4 cheap sd card i'm running lightening fast. thats me though.
 
Thanks so much to Kuoma and cwhatever for your assistance. I got the SSM working without a hitch. It worked the first time exactly as you guys stated. Although I think I ended up doing it the long way, it still only took me about 30mins total from ADB to getting CT flashed. Also thanks to Wetbiker for providing cwhatever with the simple instructions. Its kinda funny knowing I got about 350mb of apps installed and it shows only 57mb used and 102mb free. Thanks again guys. My Prevail just got a lil bit sweeter:D

Glad that you got it working. The SSM is the way to go in my opinion and what I use when running CTMod 3.5. The KoumaKernel and CTMod are a perfect combination. :)
 
I may have missed a previous post on this and if so I apologize, but does anyone know if it's possible to disable the audible notification for entering and exiting service areas (i.e. the tone that sounds when you get the red X for no service and then again for when service is reestablished)? It's not much of an annoyance when stationary, but when traveling it can become bothersome as it overrides whatever music you've got playing, etc., and pretty frequently. Thanks in advance.

Turn on vibrate, silence or airplane mode
 
Can anyone tell me if this is a CTmod thing or my battery. My phone is constantly resetting on it's own (I have recently underclocked it to 400mhz to help temperature). Sometimes I will de-attach it from charger once it resets...stick battery in freezer for 3 minutes, and it then works fine for around an hour. Just not sure if this is a battery thing or CTmod. Thanks for opinion.

these batterys are heat sensitive and when they get too hot or too many times it will harm the battery bad. and the freezer thing gets temp down but not good to cool it that way, so battery might be going bad.
