You want JUST a weather app or one that shows it on your desktop with a big clock?

For a task killing app try either TasKiller or Advanced Task Killer. Both have free versions. One might be in Aptoide too, haven't looked.

Cez★ 02-12-2010 11:03 PM

if it replaces my big clock i have now then sure, if not then just a weather app

stonehenge 02-12-2010 11:11 PM

you haz big clawk already!? taloco maitash.

You can get Beautiful Widgets from :secret: and add it to your desktop. Will have big clock + current weather. Press it to see next couple days forecast.

If you just want a weather app, look up the weather channel one, its pretty good.

Actually no to weather channel, try weatherbug if you want a weather app.

Mira, this is beautiful widgets clock / weather, you can change the skin on it:

wan, installed update?

stonehenge 02-16-2010 04:42 PM

what update?

2005_Silverado 02-16-2010 04:48 PM

2.0.5...we running that already?

http://www.sholes.info/

stonehenge 02-16-2010 04:53 PM

Oh, no. I'm running 2.0.2 and I think you're running the same unless 2.0.3 was out by the time you did it. Go to Settings > About phone and Build Number is all the way at the bottom. If anything on the change list sounds nice to you or you just want to do it then go for it, I don't think it will hurt anything. Plus if you do a Nandroid backup like I explained a little while ago, you can go back to your old setup with like 0 effort :pepper:

2005_Silverado 02-16-2010 04:58 PM

im on 2.0.2.....05 supposed to gib you 1Ghz+ speed :whoa:

stonehenge 02-16-2010 04:59 PM

:word: if you wants then go for it, I think I be sticking at 800 or maybe 900 lol

2005_Silverado 02-16-2010 05:00 PM

:roflmao: dont see anything to really :drool: for :shrug: ima wait to see if they say if it runs better or something

stonehenge 02-16-2010 05:21 PM

:word: I'd only give it a try if something on the list is :drool: or if you have any reoccuring problems that it may fix. I am fine with what I got for now :pepper:

I found another theme that apparently makes the phone crazy fast/smooth but it uses the stock theme :blah: i love mah black/blue :imo

JayBo 02-16-2010 05:27 PM

when is this new update supposed to be released? 2.1 or whatever?

stonehenge 02-16-2010 05:30 PM

No one knows. There have been like 5 different rumored dates and they've all passed. Motorola posted on their facebook last week or the week before that it was coming out that weekend. Obviously they lied lol. It shouldn't be far off though.

I'm more interested on when Adobe will release flash :drool:

Eddeh, I think I may update to 2.0.5 after all lol, I was reading a thread on it at droidforums and everyone says it runs smoother. Mine isn't giving me problems but :shrug: might give it a try later.

2005_Silverado 02-16-2010 06:20 PM

:hmm: mebeh i do it too....just wanted confirmation it was good :pepper:

stonehenge 02-16-2010 07:22 PM

Once I learned how easy it is to make a backup first and that restoring that backup makes it go back to EXACTLY how it was before, I have no fear of trying new roms and whatnot.

JayBo 02-17-2010 05:48 PM

Wan, can I return to stock if I root/flash my phone? I might try this today

stonehenge 02-17-2010 06:19 PM

Yeah if you are rooted/recovery-romd/flashed, you can go back to stock EASY. You download a specific zip file, put it on your sdcard, hold x while your phone boots up, choose to install the zip file, reboot. Done.

BTW...I cannot read spanish
And the first link does not work

stonehenge 02-17-2010 06:38 PM

First link works for me and I can't read much spanish most the time either :rofl2: translate.google.com does wonders.

As for what ROM to run, I've tried Bugless Beast and SholesMod and both are great. Me and Eddie are using SholesMod right now. There are other ROMs based on 2.1 also. They tend to be a touch more buggy but some of them have some nice features, like the Live Wallpapers I posted earlier.

JayBo 02-17-2010 06:39 PM

I just want one thats going to give the least amount of problems

2005_Silverado 02-17-2010 06:40 PM

bugless or sholes

JayBo 02-17-2010 06:41 PM

i went back and read all the steps and some of the links in that post don't work for me either.

I dunno if its the internet @ bank, or what

Cez★ 02-17-2010 06:42 PM

I'll go back and check them to see if its you or dead links :shake: Sholes updates/changes shit all the time so they could definitely be broken.

:roflmao: dl monitoring app, turn off monitoring feeshur :facepalm:

stonehenge 02-17-2010 07:12 PM

Jay, I'll write up a different guide. If you go with Sholes, there is a really easy way to get everything done instead of the huge list of directions I posted towards the beginning of the thread.

How To: Root/Recover/Flash your motherfucking Droid (The easy way)
by BAMF

1) ACQUIRE & INSTALL SMUPDATER:

There are two ways to do this. You can pay $5 in the market and always have the latest version on your phone and support development of the ROM or you can get it for free from the Sholes Team website. I'm cheap/poor so I chose the latter.

To get it from the market, search for "smupdater" and you should get "SholesMod Updater" as a result. Pay for it and install it and then go to the next step.

If you want to do it the free way, go to Sholes.info and look through the recent posts for the latest version of SMUpdater. At the time of this writing, the latest was Version 8. The easiest way to get it onto your phone is to visit the link from your phones browser. Once it has finished downloading, tap it and you should be given the option to install it. Now go to the next step.

2) RUN DAT SHIT:

Now find "SholesMod Updater" in your app list and run it.

This is where it gets weird because I don't remember exactly what the app shows you or tells you. If I run it, it is different because I'm already rooted/recovered.

Essentially the program will walk you through the following steps:

- Root (will require restarting while holding X and applying an update.zip)
- Recovery (should be flashed by the app, you shouldn't have to do anything)
- Flash (it will let you pick a ROM version and then it will restart)



That's pretty much it, the app makes it really easy.

JayBo 02-17-2010 09:15 PM

Rooting now..

2005_Silverado 02-17-2010 09:29 PM

Phone rooted.
Downloading Recovery

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

It's asking me

Are you really really sure? This definately will void your warranty, and probably will break your recovery mode.

Quit (remonnended) Flash REcovery Image.
