Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

I dont know if it was anything that I did but when i flashed back to formulas rom the rom that ive been using for over a month the one that never drops reception in that area. For some reason it was having the same issues as sharkies I can't figure out why!
I can't understand why its a dead zone! Its in providence, RI its suppose to be in an area that gets 4g coverage. I mean WTF


But im going to do what you say.

and I guess Ill find out monday if it works or not since Im going back to work then.

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

Ok that sounds like an option, I'll give it a shot... I don't want to uninstall the tweaks because so far it's the ONLY thing that has allowed me to delete the Verizon Wireless settings in the data connection from coming up automatically after each startup...
thx

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

what's your PRL?
did you do a prl update ?
OR
Hit that "update" button BEFORE you provision with sprint cab?

If you had fluctuation of signal, that is a selection change,
which is the PRL list of which tower signals to choose.
So Updating & changing your 'PRL" is likely culprit, even if it is newer number.

Flashing to stock will revert your prl to before.
do not press prl update update.
Only do the Sprint cab.

EDIT:
OR,
learn how to manually change the prl file.
you would need your msl (click links in my sig)

EDIT2:
Also you can update your PRI (check my link for Sprint)

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

Woops, didn't notice your carrier.
I dont know about Verizon, so I am probably mistaken about cab.
but post the cab and I will cleanup and extract the "nuebat" stuff out for you.
So your install will be smaller.
The main advantage I like of nuebattery is being able to run your device to zero battery,
without it shutting off or going into airplane mode on low battery.
You can disable the 4 other options which are nice also

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

Well I think I'll give it a try for a bit... I wanted to delete it because I didn't find it was too much use and I had read on other thread that some people have been having the problem of it draining the battery... hasn't happened for me. But you sound to know way more about it than I do so I'll test it for a while and if I do definitely want to take it off I'll post the .cab as you suggest....
appreciate the help

@ ModmyPPC

Here is the Verizon 2.37 radio... all you have to do is run it like flashing a ROM. It won't touch the ROM or any files besides the radio, no worries. Easier and quicker than flashing Vins ROM and then flashing back (only takes a minute or so), you can always flash back to Sprints radio or try the 2.35 Vrz radio if it doesn't help. If you still have problems, you can do like Maxx said and re-download the ROM and flash again, but this is a quick way without having to redo your ROM as it is now. This works on my Sprint phone better than than the Sprint radio... your mileage may vary?

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

I've heard many good things about that radio so far. I've not messed with the radio since I've had my TP2 because the radio it came with works phenomenally for me, but I've been thinking about upgrading to this new one just because of all the good things I keep reading.

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

I never had problems with my radio either, except for it fluctuating between 2-5 bars. Now with this it, it stays at 5 or at the worst it goes to 4.

Btw, tried your ROM week ago or so. It seems really nice. I tried sending myself a text from Yahoo and it never came through? The only other problem I had was the youtube playback being slow, but it sounds like you got that fixed. I've been on Vins ROMs for a long time and put SPB on it. I also started cooking myself and has that been time consuming lol. Starting to get the hang of it, but lots to learn.

May give your ROM another try here, are you close to getting a new ROM with 2021 Sense done? May wait for that?

Keep up the good work.

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

No, I haven't really been playing much with 2021 yet. Caught the flu or something the day after it dropped and just didn't have the energy. I'll probably start messing with that again this weekend. Shouldn't be too hard. From what I've read, this round of Sense comes almost "ready to go".

@ Everyone,

Agree all all; however, I've never been afraid of any other mods/brickage except radios LOL. After Maxx's post seemed too easy (plus a couple sketchy phone calls a few days ago) What the heck, off all day so jumped in the deep end. Working great so far. Live in a 100yr old brick house and did notice running full bars since flashing. Keep you posted how it works w/your ROM. So good so far.

Sounds like Belleville/Ofallon area? Thanks for the radio info.

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

Yeah, I was glad I tried the radio. Never thought about it till Vin put it in a ROM and I tried it and liked it. Both work fine for me. I flashed back to Sprints radio and it went back to the bouncing between 2-5 bars... flashed back to 2.37 VRZ and steady 5 bars. I never dropped calls or anything before so not sure if it is really helping or not, but it isn't hurting.

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

Yea that was only a misunderstanding about having it set to fast charge.
They say with that setting, the battery charges quickly but drawback it it not charging fully,
So it was mistakingly thought to have less battery with app.
Then some others say it not good for battery to fast charge all the time.
I just re-plug in when light turns green, so it can charge more.

Same here as when I have good signal there is no difference.
Only on poor areas of reception this pulls in better,
BuT I also notice a slight drain when it searching for signal it does not like to lose, lol so it tries hard to find one.
I am thinking of re-trying the radio before as I think it may be better for battery in no signal areas.
But I not want to give up this radio better signal strength, so I dunno.

Woohoo, I needed that!


Thanx I gave you thanx for that link!
I am believing a stock flash and then your link to radio may be best for him in case he changed his "PRL" ,
as a PRL change determines what the radio picks up.
the stock flash has a good PRL, and does the Task29 reformat to whole device not just rom.
I also recommend the PRI update if on sprint.

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

Scooped that up yesterday, looks great on the phone and easy to read.
Thanks for taking an interest in it, by making something good....better.

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

I made a few more Sharkie405 style iReflect icons that were requested. HERE's a link if any of you would like more matching icons for some things. The posted are icons are for:

Info (2)
Install
Repair
Application Manager (Apps)
AppBrain
Android Market
Tapatalk

Speaking of which, I certainly don't mind making specific icons for those of you that use my ROM and also keep my icons. If there are apps that you install and would like matching icons for, please let me know. They don't take a lot of time and I'd be more than happy to make them for you. :)

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

I was trying to upload as an attachment. It was taking a long time, thought site was slow, then I looked at size limit for zip and it was just over, oops... so I had to upload to my 4shared acct. Hopefully that is all it takes to get him sorted out.

btw, after using quite a few of your cabs it got me into making some myself, another fun part of this hobby

i dont know if that is even needed. i installed opera10 beta 3 and after install complete it asks if you want to set it as default and i hit yes. it works as it should, as default w/out any added reg. edits

this is nice, a matching set. i rarely go into the wm txt but sometimes i do and its always been plain jane, not now. thanks

can figure out multi quote on different pages, so post after post

Flashed 3.4 on a refurbished TP2 & gave it to my Wife (after deleting some ringtones lol) It seemed like a really great ROM right out the box. The details you put in skinning are a nice touch. I like the start menu Icons too... Thanks.

My pleasure! I'm glad you're digging it. I hope she feels the same way after using it! :)

Cab to fill in missing icons :)
 

Ok, so I've completed ALL the icons in the ROM. I got all those ones in Settings that I was missing:

http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/a...enShot1-23.png http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/a...eenShot2-8.png http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/a...eenShot3-4.png http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/a...eenShot4-1.png

For those of you that keep my icons, the posted cab will fill in all the missing "Sharkie style" iReflect style icons. The Power icon has been made slightly better since this screenshot.

Needless to say, from here on out all ROMs will have this completed set of icons.

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

I manually updated my prl from the thread on the tp2 section the new 2/3/11 prl.

Didn't solve the problem.


Flashed this radio and still no fix.

Do you guys think it could actually be the phone and have nothing to do with the rom or the radio. im not sure how old it is but it maybe two years old.

The one thing I dont get is why it worked at my house and why it doesn't work at my work when it did just last week.

Im going to try flashing the stock rom and leave it for a few days and see if that somehow resets the phone. Im pretty much out of ideas.

Edit: few mins later I have full bars... Ill see if it maintains it throught the day.

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

Well guys I remember on timberwolfs roms he recommended formatting the sdcard when there were strange issues with roms so I gave it a shot and used sd formatter 3.0 and it looks like it solved the problem Ive been having full bars at work for about an hour now. And my reception is great.

I had android on my sdcard and I guess when I flashed this rom it must have done something to some sort of setting.

I did a full reformat (took about an hour) and Everything is great!

Thanks to all who helped!

Here is the link SD Formatter 3.0 for SD/SDHC/SDXC - SD Association

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

That's awesome to hear and good to know! Thanks for sharing that info. No doubt it will help out someone else in the future. Are you running my ROM now or did you try this "fix" on a different ROM?

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

NOPE IM ON SHARKIE! :headbang: It was tested and fixed all on your rom.

Its the only reason why I left before...

And it was never rom specific. I guess when I downloaded and played with android i was always on formulas rom. Once I changed roms thats when shit hit the fan. Even when I went back the problem persisted. When on stock and the problem was there too.

So In a last ditch effort I did a full reformat. Timberwolf recommended it a few times on his thread. He mentioned migrating settings or something-or-other. idk again im not a developer and I dont know why it works I just know it works.

Its been a few hours now and The rom is working perfectly. Without changing the radio or doing a prl update.

But Ill do those eventually Im just happy I can be here for a while. Unless I find problems! :evil4:

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

U misunderstood me.
I assumed you already did a PRL update and I wanted you to revert it back to stock,
as sometimes PRL updates are not better.
Doing a flash to stock not only reverts your radio, rom, PRI, PRL,
but also does similar reformat called Task29 and wipes the device.
If you say you still had problem, make shure you didn't press the prl update icon,
as that would play a part in selecting which signal towers available for radio to choose.
Glad you solved it though..

I never thought about the mem card as I ALWAYS take out my card when I flash,
and re-insert when loaded.

I'm going to change the latest "radio" because I am finding it is not the best on battery,
and I don't really need the increase in signal that it gives..

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

Hey Sharkie,
I kinda miss your water backgrounds,
It seemed like your signature flavor.

I didn't care for the bubbly rainbow evo theme.
And removing CHT2.0 for an older one was a chore.

Took a while after my setups, the ones I PMed you about,
it is running quite swift.
Opening "windows" in the "total commander" file browser was the fastest yet.

Although it is not a true test for rom quickness,
I usually use a quick and simple way of checking file speed.
I open "windows" folder and watch the "wait" icon for how many times it rotates.
Of course it is hard to tell with Sharkie icon, but if you watch closely you can tell.
With sharkie taskbar wait symbol, it does double the repetitions of others, (like energy).

An easier way is to just install another taskbar which I do anyway.
So usually in most roms the "wait" symbol rotates about 4 to 5 times, overclocked.
It also varies if some apps install extra files in windows folder
A few rotate under 4 times.
This one only 3 and half, officially catching up to MedHill (which was fastest ,
mainly due to being a "bare" rom).

I just forgot, it may be more for those using CHT2.0
I would suggest having option.
Anyway just wanna say the rom is nicer than before, with custom icons all over.
Great job!

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

How was removing CHT v2.0 a chore? Did you have some kind of issues uninstalling it?

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

Upgraded from v3.0 to v3.4 (Generic), gave it a try for a week.
Dudes, this ROM is really FAST! And so far it's very stable, no bug found.

I've tried some other "famous" great ROM, but this one is even greater.
Looks like never gonna switch to other ROM again.

Great job, Sharkie :)

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

I think he is referring to using HtcRIE (from previous posts) removing it before flashing. Did it myself before every flash. Yours is easily cab removed and if you try to rid it before the flash and don't get it all a pop up error comes up and ruins life LOL

Nice to know I'm not the only sandwich in the lunch bag. Guess it got started by always adding a specific ring every flash. Was a good sign of things to come.

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

The CHT2.0 is well implemented and fluid in the rom.
The actual chore came in installing an older version CHT to use less memory,
Although 2.0 is tempting to keep as it was working well.
I don't really need all the options of 2.0 and rather have more mem for web browsing.

When I didn't see it as an install, I assumed it's cooked in.
Why? Did I overlooked it in the "uninstall list"?
So anyway I grabbed a CHT2.0 cab and clicked it to uninstall "previous install".
Then I ran an older CHT, saved about 10Mb.

Also, side note:
I also flashed a another cook's rom with the newer Sense implemented,
As far as speed there was not noticeable improvement.
I am assuming it may have different files
as some custom and CHT icons did not show up.

Re: 1-30-11★SharkieROM v3.4★Generic\Sprint★29007\21916★Sense2019
 

Its cooked in as a CAB, I unistall CHT/Editor thru remove programs list. Been happier w/out it.
