[ROM] - 1/28 - CleanROM GBE 1.6 - Base: OTA 2.01.605.11

Ah HA!

thank you to everyone that has helped me through this...

now to find the bloody download since it's not showing

Make sure you have it on your SD card and not HTC Storage (the internal sd card.)
Also, make sure it's at the root of the card and not in a folder. The easiest way to do it is to download Astro file manager, look for your file, and move it all the way into the "/" category.

Scott may have removed it as part of debloating. You can pull it from a stock ROM(on scott's website) or someone could post it if they have it.

Finding a compatible APK is gonna be a problem, unless someone around here has it on hand, which I doubt.
So here's what you should do;
1.) Log into the Verizon website and go to the Backup Assistant section
2.) Save all of your contacts to your computer
3.) Log into Gmail/Google account and import your contacts from Backup Assistant
4.) Sync your Gmail to your phone.

Hope that doesn't screw up my wifes contacts lol as we use the same gmail account on our phones.

I'm jumping ship to this ROM, but can someone clear something up for me real quick?
On XDA, one of Scott's posts on the SenseLess thread says that CleanROM has the stock mainver. But on the first post of this thread, it says that the mainver will update. I realize this is because of the OTA.
The real question is, will this mainver change screw me over if I decide to go to an ICS ROM, or will the screwing over only occur when I go from ICS back to GB?

 

[xxfallacyxx]

I don't think you should be screwed over at all.

You're going to install the ROM, and then install the necessary GBread kernel that comes with the ROM.

I've gone from CleanROM 2.3 ICS to CleanROM GB 1.6.5 without problems. I haven't tried going the other way.

For those interested, Scott is apparently looking to roll back this version of CleanROM because of stability issues. Anyone here having any problems with this?

I've been running this for a few weeks and the only problems I've had are an occasional short term loss of mobile data and screen freeze. Can be irritating but infrequent enough to be livable and I'm enjoying the ROM overall.

Are people in that thread referring to those who actually updated the firmware, or the CleanRom update that included 2.0.xxxxx environment implemented by the ROM? Seems ambiguous. My phone has't had any problems.

I've been running this since release and my phone has been fine. Great battery life, no problems at all.

I'm talking about 1.6.5, which has the OTA. I'm not sure how one would go about rolling back the radios, but I'm sure it wouldn't even be worth Scott's effort.

Also, thanks for the input, guys.

Unless the RUU has the radio in it(which I think it does) that's the only method we have to mess with the radio. Problem with that is that you have to hex edit the mainver on your phone to run the old RUU if you have the OTA

Thanks for explaining it to me. It sounds like more of a pain the ass than what it's worth. The problem with the OTA wasn't the radios, it's the extra crap bundled with it that ruined it.

Meh that's why you root and disable/delete them. But then again I'm on ICS and not coming back until I get an official release.

Settings --> Power Should Fast boot be checked?

Settings --> Applications Should Auto launch task manager after device startup be checked?


If these were addressed somewhere I have completely missed them. Thanks in advance.

Fastboot does not let the phone shut down completely, rather it puts the phone in sleep mode or hibernation. If you have to do a reboot you won't be able to because it never fully shuts down. I keep mine unchecked because I prefer a full power down when I turn my phone off.

I have mine set to auto launch task manager and haven't noticed any ill effects.
