You can try just installing the new cab, it will force you to uninstall the old cab first. Sometimes it works this way, sometimes it causes problems which will require you to delete some old files manually (usually data.img file).

or

Download the .rar and extract it somewhere easy to find. Using a card reader, usb connection to your pc, or even on the phone (its a pain that way) open your sd card and navigate to the "andboot" folder. Delete system.ext2, rootfs.img, zimage, modules, initrd.gz, and data.img. Replace the old ones with the new and youll be good! There will be no new data.img, that one is created by the OS. It stores personal info. Deleting data.img is like doing a hard reset back to "stock" ROM.

Hey guys

Hope this wasn't covered somewhere and i missed it
I looked around for a bit and didn't see this mentioned.


I noticed that when using any of the android builds on my sprint tp2, the screen still has power going to it even when the device is in sleep mode, no matter what my screen has a small amount of light being emitted, if I cup the phone with my hands, and look at the screen theres still light being emitted from it!

Duh!
guess if it was any bigger it would have blinded me!

Taken from the FAQ here:

Why is my backlight always staying on?
To fix this, we need to disable Windows Mobile's Automatic Adjustment and Dim settings. If you are using the Startup Utility, then this is taken care of automatically. Here are the manual instructions otherwise.

From within Windows Mobile
Tap START - SETTINGS - SYSTEM - POWER - BACKLIGHT
Tap to Uncheck - Automatically adjust backlight

then scroll down and click on "view" for the BLAZN cab. Your pop up will contain the download.

During the boot animation my phone restarts. I changed the start txt to make it seem like my phone was charging since I noticed it was showing my battery was about dead,and it's not. Any ideas?

[colombia81er]

What are .REC files on my SD card i have about 80 of them lol. Are they save to remove ?

Nice Animation on the new build. !!

Does the Startup Utility not work with this new build, 8/18, for anyone else? It's not a problem since I have a working startup.txt, but just wondering.

Well the battery reading isn't accurate a lot of the time as you know. Did you change the OC setting in your startup? Might be overclocked more than your device can handle

I believe those are just error logs. I delete them periodically.

Works for me... did you uninstall the old one first?

[w7excursion]

No I haven't tried that yet . What number do you suggest?
