Please help...
The other day I formatted my SD card and very stupidly did not backup any of my nandroids before doing so, when I booted my phone everthing appeared to work fine, I put my phone on the charger and left it overnight. The next morning when I unplugged my phone it immediately rebooted, I thought this was odd but did not see any real problem. When my phone turned on, the menu ket, the home key, the send key, and all of my physical keyboard did not work. I tried clearing all of my data and reflashing velocity but the problem persists. Due to my arrow keys not working I can not navigate through recovery, I can only access what is possible through ROM manager. If anyone has an idea, please let me know, I am fairly good at troubleshooting and am not too worried about bricking my phone. Thank you

just wondering if anyone else is having problems with both handcents popup and sms popup where messages are not being marked as read when the popup is closed?
Not the right place for this, head over to the Handcent forums.

I've been running Velocity for a little while now and everything was going well, but for some reason my sms box is full and i don't seem to be able to clear it even with deleting my threads. I'm using handcent as my default messaging app. I have reflashed a backup that I made when first switching to velocity and everything is fine now, but is this an issue that will pop back up in a few weeks? And is there a solution? Could just be something I did or didn't do when trying to clear messages.

That is not due to you running velocity. It means that your phone is running out of space. Try moving all apps to SD card and rebooting or uninstalling some things you don't need.

Is the script update server down? I had a theme malfunction and had to reflash. Now I can't update the scripts. It says it is connecting and gives an ip but then an error flashes to fast to read and it says my scripts are up to date, which they are not. When I use my pc to ping the address the updater is pointing to I get 100% packet loss.
Edit: I finally fixed my problem, which was a common problem effecting anyone who flashed velocity recently. Apparently the IP address in the original script had changed and needed to be manually changed. Why that isn't noted somewhere in this thread so people would know is beyond me.

It's noted in the "Velocity Script" thread.

Thanks, dautley. I guess this explains why it seems to me like this thread had become somewhat of a ghost town. All the action is over on the Script thread. 
I read all of it and am unsure if I need to take any action, since I was not aware of any of the issues mentioned. Terminal shows I have script v25, but when I looked at the fonts menu I did not see any mention of the ability to preview fonts. Or hasn't that actually been released yet? I remember reading something about that being incorporated into the scripts, but it might have still been in a test phase.
I can certainly use more free memory. Now and then I still get low space warnings, with as many apps as I can moved to the SD. I am considering trying moving the dalvik-cache there ( I made a nandroid this morning) but with the way my luck runs, surely one of my 'essential' apps will not like that, and prevent me from doing it. :-/

Well, what can I say that I haven't already? I'm still running perfectly, still OC'ed at 748 all day everyday with no real battery sucking issues. My GPS does get a little screwy at times but it has since the day I got the phone, not just with Velocity (I think it's a GPS antennae issue, they must have just stuck the cheapest thing they could get into the phone). I do get the missing icon/widget hiccup from time to time, but I use it as a great excuse to reboot cause, yeah it's just a phone, but a reboot from time to time is a healthy thing so I'm not that concerned with it. All my apps work great with no issues including a new one I got that starts functions when you plug things in, which I was, I don't want to say worried, but interested in seeing if it would work correctly, and it does! I've run through the entire gambit of stuff through the scripts except for odexing the FS but, what the hell do I need to do that for anyway, right? All the boot animations work, though I really like "Scribbles" and use that one exclusively. Apps2SD works great still, and if it doesn't, upgrade your SD card. I had a Class 4 and it SUUUUUUUCKED, got a class 6 and WOW, night and day improvement. I'm still amazed at how many ADS are blocked with the AD BLOCK feature in the scripts, it looks like I have a bunch of paid versions instead of the free apps! Screen rotation is great, it goes every which way (huge bonus when you're showing things off to people and they can hold it any way they want to) except with the dialer but it's such a small glitch that, again, who cares. I can't imagine that there are still folks on the fence about this ROM but if you are, you heard it from the horses ass, it's exactly as I've described, the good and the bad. Thanks again to the "TEAM" on a sick ROM and for the continuous support (script updates, install issues, funky stuff troubleshooting, etc...)! V2.0? Rumors? Ideas? Unofficial status? Not pestering, just trying to build some late game buzz!!
Hey guys. FINALLY got Velocity flashed onto my phone and everything is running amazingly. I had one question about the script updates though. When I go into the terminal em and hit 4 to try and update my scripts it keeps telling me that everything is up to date, but I don't have any of the nifty cosmetic scripts that should have been in the updates. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Check the Velocity Scripts thread (there is a link to it recently posted above). Apparently the IP address installed by Velocity 1 for script updates has changed, causing issues. It is discussed in that thread. Some folks had to implement a manual fix, but somehow I think 'some' of us got around the issue automatically as the script updates came out. I never knew about all this until just this week. My Ally shows v25 Velocity Script and I never had done anything to change IP addresses. As far as I can figure out I have the most recent scripts version.

Im having a problem with this ROM. I put it on my wifes ally and I like it, howerver, there is a big problem with videos. They only play at 3-4 fps. They are very choppy. Ive tried movies, and videos recorded from the phone and both are very choppy. Is there anyway to fix this? I did OC the phone to 768 and it still doesnt work.
