Well we upgraded fairly recently so my wife would be at almost 3yrs and id be at about a year and a half DNW

[MikeH]

If I can do it and still upgrade in August then I will just say fuck it and sign the extra year. Im only 3 months into my 1 year so not too bad. If I have to sign another year on top of my 1 year making it 2 years then FTS.

I'm sure it is one year added to the end of your current contract

about to install blurry 1.0

[MikeH]

Blurry hasnt given me any problems at all. It's pretty solid. I'm running GalaX on top of it now tho. There's an Epic skin for Better KB which is the GalaX KB that matches perfect

[stonehenge]

Im using SmartKB and it has a built in Galaxy skin nao

Flashed the rom last night and so far so good. The auto brightness seems to be a little screwy sometimes but not a big deal. Otherwise it is running great.

[JayBo]

go look in the cyanogenmod.com forums D1 section, tree should e a couple kernel threads there with the latest versions. I think I used P3Droids or some jdlgf (sp?) dudes.

Im not sure where the messages are stored but it isn't in the app because if you install handcdnt, chomp, etc they all see re messages. The X txt app may have blur requirements but it won't hurt to try imo. I'll try to upload the apk later if I get a chance.


Multi-quotes on TT be interesting.

I just saw Verizon was doing a deal with 450 minutes, unlimited text/web for 70 bucks but it requires a 1 year contract renewal. Not sure if I should do it. It would save be 30 bucks a month but my contract would end up being 1 year and 3 months.

I need 2 lines for both the wife and I. We currently pay like $130 for us w/ our BB's.

Yes, then turn the heat up until it pops. I keed I keed.

I really dont know shit about these phones currently and all these mods you guys are doing, it makes me nervous thinking of screwing up the OS on it and not being able to use it. I may once I get more comfortable with whichever phone I get delve into that stuff but it will be awhile.

[chevyrado14]

Thanks Juan. I was using chomp and liked it alot but the newest update has fullscreen popup ads when you try to exit the app. Not cool i even installed an ad blocker and they didnt go away. FTL And the stock app on my ally isnt playing any notification sounds.

[stonehenge]

Most peeps are like that. It starts with a home replacement, then you'll "just root" and then a while later you'll be overclocked, themed, and running a rom.

Once you get a custom recovery in place and make a good backup it is fairly hard to screw up your phone beyond repair. Even if you Fuck up the recovery, there is an SBF file that puts it 100% back to stock.

It still takes a little tine to work up the courage to dive in but it didn't take me long lol. Shit, Mike probably rooted his N1 the first day

[Mr.Rogers]

I was the same way but thnx to juanch Lol I got my phone running like speedy gonzales

[stonehenge]

I've bern using Handcent for texting, I like it better than chomp and there's only a small ad in the settings menu.

[chevyrado14]

i might try it too. i did awhile back but liked chomp better at the time.

[Mr.Rogers]

My LED been acting up weird like it won't flash when I get a txt anymore *or just want the X*

Pirata Tapahabla

[stonehenge]

suuuureee, tell your wife that "Babe, my LED no works sometimes, what if you text me an emergencies and it doesn't flash I NEED X BABE"

[chevyrado14]

handcent isnt playing my notification sounds either wtf

[stonehenge]

and when you go to Settings and select a sound does it play there?

[JayBo]

K is trying new kernel now

[chevyrado14]

got it working. the notification in settings was on silent. i thought that handcent or the stock messaging would over ride that. weird

[JayBo]

LOL!!!

New Kernel made phone think the battery was dead.

WTF man

And..new kernel did not fix the Wireless...

[MikeH]

You gotta use a CM specific kernel and they probably have to be specific to 6.1 too. Was the kernel CM came with giving you problems?

[stonehenge]

make a backup then load an old backup where the wireless worked. If wireless still doesn't work, wifi hardware be dead if it works then it's a rom/kernel/etc issue.

[JayBo]

Yah, lemme try dat.

It worked until I flashed that kernel the other day.

[MikeH]

Yeah don't flash any kernels unless they say it works on 6.1
