Sprint 2.1 leak

[UTnick]

thanks for the help beezy. i don't know why i forgot that was there. the busybox wasn't there, though. or is it just called something else? also, what is the superuser app for? it just loads a blank screen when i click it.

now, my biggest problem is during this whole process google wasn't keeping all my contacts and i resorted to restoring them with mybackup pro. and now i can't seem to sync my contacts with google. when i do i just get a FC due to process.gapps messing up. it seems to get as far as Dad in my contacts list and then stopping. the only thing i can see different with that contact is i have an image from my phone set for it and none of the others. BUT i can't seem to get facebook to sync with my contacts now either. when i try to load the list of facebook friends to match up with my contacts it will not load the list.

i have since imported a .csv file of my contacts into gmail to see if that will help, but it didn't. i still get the FC when i try to sync. and it seems my contacts seem to shrink every time i do something with em. i don't know who i am losing and it is driving me bonkers. mybackup pro says it backs up 127 or so contacts. another system that creates the .csv file says i have 123 and then when i import that to gmail it says i have 110 and that it merged the duplicates. baaahhhhhhhhh

for now i am gonna go delete all photos associated with contacts and try to sync again. maybe that's the key. who the hell knows.

Busybox is already installed. The Su app won't have anything but a black screen till you have an app requiring permissions,like WiFi tether. I don't have a clue about your sync issues,I've never had any.

thanks beezy. i am trying everything i can think of including starting from scratch. i have tried so many different combinations it is ridiculous.

Question. I used option 2, and i dont see busybox. Maybe my glasses are dirty? Also I THOUGHT Apps2SD was there and its not. I have found a couple tutorials around but i dunno if they are still good for 2.1. Third i want to thank all you folks for getting this leak up and running soooooo damn fast.

Busybox isn't a app,you can't see it. App2sd is in number 3. The one you have is basically stock. I would use the third one. I am.

Thank you.

I put together a zip for the clear lockbar.Always do a nadroid back up before just incase something goes crazy.

ClearLockBar.zip

quick question on this - do i need to remove the old lock bar first, or just flash this from recovery?

thanks.

You can just flash it.

Think my question may have been lost in the many earlier posts going on.

Is anyone having trouble installing optional HTC widget apps, such as the battery app?

Edit: Hmm... I'm really starting to suspect it's a 2.1 issue. The widgets only work with the Hero and the Eris so they probably don't jive with 2.1 yet. It hink.

I just installed Battery widget by mippin.com,it's in market. It took a few seconds to show up after i selected it.

I ended up doing the same, I just much prefer the HTC battery widget.

Now... I seem to be having a problem with the camera. Namely in that while trying to use it the phone reset.

I opened up the left side panel and touched a button... and HTC screen.

Edit: Continued playing with the camera, and haven't had a repeat. Hopefully just a fluke to be expected with all this. The new version of the camera is a much needed improvement.

Try out the gallery, that is an improvement over the pictures app. just don't click on the camera icon, or else you get a force close (camera still works through camera app).

silly question, but how do I install the 2.1? I did all the rooting and nandroid backup stuff in the other How-To guide, but I'm not sure what to do here. Do I copy the signed-cl157175.zip to my sd card?

yes, but you must wipe everything first, then flash.

Really the only issue I am noticing is a little keyboard lag still but more importantly it seems location services is acting funky. The weather is updating like its supposed to but the location will not update when its supposed to. Its very irratic...most times i have to power down and restart to update location. all other times with 1.5 all i had to do was refresh weather and it would update location.

All apps make me force close, stock included. Calls are the big issue, all calls are mute. No one can hear me and I can't hear them. Am I F-ck'd now, can I even go back to 1.5 or do I need to use the Best Buy insurance to get a new phone? I'm open for suggestions here, any at this point.

Oh yes I love the gallery. This happened when I was using the camara. Opened up the settings like sepia etc and got a reset. No repeats though so I guess fluke.

I have the same location problem mentioned above but not a big deal.

I did have a new problem develop. Is lose all sound on my phone whether noises it should make (like silent mode) or on call I couldn't hear anything but could be heard, then the phone would reset. I suspect this was due to the app sweetdreams. I have uninstalled, will see if that fixes.

which version did you pick?

 

[mflava#AC]

Option #1... I bet I made the wrong choice?

I flashed with option one and everything is working perfectly on my phone. If you are having trouble check the post on how to repair your bootloader. It only takes a few minutes to fix and then you can reflash the 1.5 recovery back and start over.

Htmmm at this point I am frequently losing all sound. Regular noises calls everything. Anyone else encountering this and is there a fix? Considering downgrading and being glad I used option 2.
