I wish I would've taken a screenshot or wrote down the list, because when I held down the search button in last version I would get a very handy pop up dialog that included options such As "screenshot" that was also in your extended power menu, an option for "screenshot it" app that I had installed, "NFC tag", "Bluetooth" and some other options that I can't remember, but it was so handy that I figured it was something you put there to use while remap was being worked on, now I'm mad that I didn't save a pic of it.

I get 2.5 hours on the web than the phone is at 20% or less. I have 6 hours constant talk time not using web I can watch about 4 two hour movies. Before I have to charge, I noticed signal strength has a lot to do with battery lasting longer. As for reboot issues mine does it as well is not to often but after I start adding apps thats wut causes some reboot issues its the apps and the phone itself I don't think it's ur Room.my flips use to reboot if I have an incoming text as I'm sending one out that was on both lg accolade and Samsung u360. I thought that may have been the culprit so I left airplane mode on the elite for hours and it still rebooted, after installing 2.3.9 no issues back to 2.3.8 no reboot issues I went back because the dark mms theme when texting works for me only thing is like another person said its hard to notice a new text cuz its not very bold. I just installed a launcher for $16 it's bad azz u guys should check it out it's called

Artine when you're back to 100% could you look into that INT2EXT+ script I showed you a few weeks ago? That would be awesome. I figure giantpune (loved him when he was in the wii scene years ago) can do it no problem, all it would need is an updated kernel.

Honestly I'd be honored if he took the ROM and upgraded it to be even better, and did any cleanup where necessary if any, and kernel too. Android is open source, after all.

Should we jump ship from Sleip to Hydra?
Artine
Android Expert
Only when Sleipnir's finished, and it almost is. There's only a few things left on the list, and when Sleipnir's finished Hydra will get the final update from me, then anyone can use either the extra features present in Sleipnir, or create an assortment of their own on Hydra. I made a point of saying what I did so that we can get complete, through and through, init.d support through the kernel via a modified init.rc file, which giantpune could do. Also, he can code, and see if any scripts need changing or whatever else and see if he can't make other backend improvements. I would be honored if he did so. Hydra is a little behind Sleipnir as it is right now, not sure why you'd jump ship nor what you mean by that in this case. Even just a new kernel update with a modified init.rc to accept and run init.d scripts would be awesome.

So much random boot looping. Every Version X.X

When you install the rom, do you use Titanium Backup to restore your apps? If you restore the data of your apps it will boot loop. You need to only restore the apps from TiBu. Not the data.

And to pair up with HaTrEd360's statement, if you're going to restore data at all, this is included in the installation instructions themselves as to how to do things properly. I suggest you read them, that's why they were included.

Now that we have this new Rom will that allow for a hot spot cuz I hit hot spot in the droid tool box b4 I was rooted that screwed up the phone to where vm had to factory reset phone and had me type in a bunch of codes msl etc. I want to use Wi-Fi I have no access to a computer there are no Wi-Fi sources around me that are open they ate all locked need a password can that be opened up with just my phone?

As it was not listed as one of the features, and has been stated numerous times throughout these forums, you have to use one of the two suggested apps to do wifi hotspotting/tethering. Wifi Tether for Root Users or Barnacle should do the trick.

The version released is the exact version I'm on. Following the installation instructions correctly, I have had zero issues and I've been using it for over a week on this identical build. See if wiping the dalvik cache or something else solves your boot loop problem, it shouldn't be the ROM. Afterwards, did you try following the procedure outlined in how to report an issue, and you're still having the problem?

Hi, I have a problem with the Sleipnir rom. My phone crashes a few times a day when data is enabled. Is there anyway to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

Did you follow the steps related to reporting a problem? Afterwards, are you still having the issue? This is something I've never encountered, as I've never had a problem with data regardless of low or high signal strength, frequency of use, nor how long it was used for.

I just read all about it thank u, but I also had a question regarding no access to a computer how can I use this barnacle app that I installed without a computer? Also my Wi-Fi isn't turning on do I have to flash the newest version to get Wi-Fi going?(2.3.9) like I started in the earlier version I switched back to the 2.3.8 cuz the mms was bright. I kno it might get annoying answering these questions so n e 1 feel free to answer this noob.
I see slepnir only has a lil intl.d support here's 100 % support for you're previous help. 
those cpu manager apps cause boot loop.

I appreciate it, but it has to be done through the kernel, not an app, for the ROM. Users are free to add full support on their own because anyone can decide to do whatever they like - personally I have done just that via the Pimp my ROM app - but for Sleipnir, it's got to be in the kernel 
I appreciate it, though, but it's got to be built in with the ROM instead of another extra in order for me to add it
Nope, zilch, nada for me. Never seen an issue using any of those either, even on the current version - which is literally the same thing I have since I've done no dev work since. I'll be out officially in a day or two
