[3-9-09] KK's Loaded ROM v1.8 Sprint and Others [OS 5.2.21015 Build 21015] [UC]

[Ballinaintez]

Just wanted to say that this is the first ROM I tried and this site helped me tremendously with upgrading my Touch Pro. Thanks guys!

Okay, so I have a noob question. I was running KK's Loaded ROM v1.4. It installed and worked fine on my Verizon TP. I updated to v1.7 and now phone hangs at Verizon screen and will not finish the update. Can I assume I have bricked my phone or do I still have a chance of saving it.

If not bricked, how do I go about getting a working ROM back on the phone? Any help would be immensely appreciated.

You might try hard resetting or reloading the ROM from your SD card.

Flash from microSD Card (Thanks to MadlyAlive):

1. Make sure you backup anything that is necessary to your day to day operations! At a minimum, please perform an ActiveSync to Outlook or your Exchange server prior to flashing!
2. Rename the custom ROM NBH file from RUU_Signed.nbh to RAPHIMG.nbh
3. Copy RAPHIMG.nbh to the root of your microSD Card.
4. Hold the Volume Down and Power button simultaneously. While you're still holding those 2 buttons, press the reset button with your stylus.
5. When your Touch Pro tells you to do so, press the power button to begin the flash process. If you do not get the message to press the power button to flash, there is a mistake in the name of the NBH file or you do not have the file at the root of your microSD card.
6. When flashing is complete, perform a soft reset.

Ok, here's a mystery. I downloaded the cab for this envelope change and was ready to plug my usb into the phone to install it. I went to the email tab just to take a look at the old envelope and it had already been changed to the glass version! The only program I have loaded after flashing to 1.7 was I set up the action screen. tsousan did you include this in that app or ? No big deal just strange. Sorry to take up some page space. I've been a tech for so long this kind of little stuff bugs me. Anyone else seen this?

How do you figure? With S2u2 installed on my phone I get about 36 hours of battery life. Without it installed and active I get about 24 hours. It actually improves my battery life with its power management features active. I have never had it slow my phone down either. So again, how does it go about draining your battery and slowing your phone down? (Kinda exaggerated those figures, read my other post #1187)

Granted, when I first started using S2U2 about 2 years ago it was not working all that great (mem leaks, etc.), but the most recent versions work flawlessly for me and I don't think I could live without it. I have not come across any other screen lock that work quite as well.

Do you have any screen locks that you would recommend? Other than the built in screen lock?

Yeah, isn't S2U2 quite the memory hog? I had always assumed it was a battery drain due to this. That's awesome if it really extends battery life by 50%.

Also, I've read it doesn't play very nicely with S2A and causes the phone to lock up during calls. Housinit, are you using it with v1.7 of KK's rom? What version of s2u2 are you using? Have you experienced any lag or freezes?

Yeah, well S2U2 is a memory hog. It uses 2563kb in the process list. But it's CPU time is 0%, so thats where I would assume most power consumption would happen. I could be wrong. Yeah, I have S2U2 installed on KKs 1.7, running version 1.45. I always load S2U2 on all ROMs. Its usually the first thing I install and I have been running it since I had my PPC6700.

When I first setup S2u2 on my Touch Pro with S2A installed I did have issues. This was because I set it up the same way I was always used to and enabled the Caller ID and Slide to answer in S2U2. This conflicted with S2A. So now the only thing I have enabled on S2U2 is the screen lock, nothing else. So when a call comes in S2A handles that and S2U2 is completely byp*****. I do not have any lag having S2U2 enabled, at least not any that I have noticed. If there is any, it is negligible. You definitely have to install it on the internal memory, not the SD card, or else you will have lag and lock ups.

The reason I get better battery with it turned on is because if I don't, I am always pulling my phone out of my pocket and it is on for some reason. With S2U2, no matter what, it is always off. I have S2U2 set to turn off the device after 5 seconds if it comes on on its own. This alone helps battery life tremendously. Otherwise, the phone take 60 seconds to turn off. Catch my drift?

BTW, I may have been exaggerating a bit when I said 24 and 36 hours. I normally get about 24-30 hours on my TP with S2U2 installed. Without it, more like 16-18. Still, quite a bit of an increase. This fact has been discussed on other threads about S2U2, so it is not just my imagination.

Thank you for your review. I need a good locking program, but refuse to sacrifice battery life. Your input has given me hope, going to give it a try now.

I'm sure you know S2U2 is up to 1.50d now, is there a reason you are still on 1.45?

I kinda like SensorLock.
