Anyword from Trident on a eta? V0.3 lagged to bad for me so had to switch to a diff rom for a while.

Also can anyone download the trident stuff from rom manager? I keep getting an error about downloading a list or something.

I'm having the same problem not being able to download from the Market. I wiped the cache partition and dalvik cache both before and after the baseband update. Any ideas?
 
Would it be possible for someone to mirror this in a format that can be downloaded straight to the phone. Or explain why rom manager gives me an error when I try to download roms through there? "Error processing the list of roms" or something. Thanks.
 
I'm trying to install the .3 rom but when it reboots into recovery it just goes to fastboot and does nothing, whats wrong?
 
Thanks Trident, I had to reroot and then do the recovery for it to work!

I have another question though, its states that this rom has Netfilter Support and that IP Tables Enabled, yet I cant use wireless tether from the market - isnt that whats required? What do these two things allow me to do that the stock rom doesnt?
 
I recently install Velocity 0.3 +GNM_TURBO JIT + OC and totally love it. I do have a quick question though, see all these apps listed but I see no icons for them how would I go about getting the flashlight app, the tethering, rom manager, and astro?

Thanks for making such a nice ROM! I upgraded my girlfriend's LG Ally last night. I blogged about it here: Wrightrocket: LG Ally ROM Update. Benchmarks for the ROM itself did not show improvement, but after loading the Turbo kernel, wow! Quadrant scores went up about 14% and Linpack scores went up about 70%!
 
for those with calc force close using the GNM turbo4 kernel or no kernel addon

grab the calculator.apk from the --REGULAR-- GNM_Turbo4 (not velocity)
**don't flash just install to system/app folder

(located in the zip /syste/app/calculator.apk)

permission need to be user=read/write, group=read, other=read if using root explorer
 
I don't get this. when you flash new roms and stuff, where does all the other stuff go? my phone was acting up and I formatted my memory card then followed death2all's thread on flashing back to stock. I flashed back to the stock recovery, waited for my updates then re-rooted and went back to v0.3. I didn't have to flash the baseband because when I went to phone info, it was there. I thought maybe it was in the rom that way and waited for errors with the market, but never had any. now with my phone plugged into the computer, every time I touch the screen, it freaks out and jumps around (the display) and random things are activated. I can't even pull down the notifications menu. when it's unplugged, it works fine. do I have some sort of communication problem with my computer? It also does this when plugged into the wall charger, but not the car charger? can you actually format the phne and start over? It seems like bits and pieces of everything stays on the phone. Help me please.

Edit: The weird freaking out of the screen stopped for no reason I can see. I didn't change anything, but I still want to know what happens to the old stuff when you flash the new stuff.
 
First off, when you format, everything that was on that partition gets erased. I believe that when you install a rom form recovery, it automatically formats for you, and thats why everything needs to be reinstalled. the reason you dont have to reinstall the baseband is because it is on a seperate partition; one which is not touched by the installer.
 
Could that partition develop problems that need to be cleaned out periodically? Because if it can be written on then there could be stuff put there that colflicts with the system...right?
 
Hey I'm new to rooting and just flashed velocity 0.3 and it works great but I was just wondering what the gnm turbo4 is and what a kernel is. If anyone could help me with that it'd be greatly appreciated. Thank you

if one was to specifically put something there, then yes that could happen. but none of the current roms (dapper duck, velocity, raptor etc) happen to touch it as far as i know. another possibility is that the baseband is flashed into the firmware, and not the OS. a more experienced user should be able to help answer your questions better, as my answers are just theory based upon my knowledge of linux and portable systems
 
So it's been a little while since I've installed V0.3 without the turbo or OC kernel and there are still no problems! I can't believe how well it's all working! My sister has a Droid 2 and is jealous of how well my little Ally is running (well that and the keyboard HAHAHA)! Great job Trident! Super excited about the "Are you ready" V0.4 update, though I haven't done the back up yet, I want a class 6 SD card for V0.4. Which is why I'm writing today! I want to copy my entire sd card over to a Class 6 one but I don't know how to view the files and partitions on the sd card I have. Does anyone have a decent method for "ghosting" an SD card using windows (windows xp pro)?
 
I have a big problem, I installed the GNM OC Kernel and started getting constant kernel panics, and I decided to start from scratch, I had a back up from BEFORE I installed the kernel, and decided to start from scratch. I rebooted into REcovery, cleared all cashe, davik, and reinstalled Velocity, and the turbo no kernel, then the oc kernel then the stock them (i liked the white, and i found a few apps that didnt change notification text to white, so couldnt see) i restarted the system, it booted fine, IT DIDNT DO ANYTHING! same exact install was on my phone, and bam kernel panic, i reinstalled recovery, then rebooted. them i did a data wipe, and reinstalled all the above. now its in the velocity loop and wont start. I cant boot into recovery by holding send and end. what do i do?

EDIT: ## I started holding random boot combinations at boot and finally got Send, Menu and End to work! Now to see if I can get it to work right!

EDIT 2: ## The phone still gets caught in boot loop at velocity after trying again, Im going to try the working backup to see if the problem persists.

EDIT 3: ## The restore worked flawlessly, so I know I didnt cause a hardware problem. Im going to wipe the EXT partition now and see if that reso.ves the problem.

EDIT 4: ## I cant wipe the ext partition of my mem card, says /dev/block/mmcbl0p2 cant be mounted cause it exists. So it skips the format...What the heck?
