[Q] Quick question about 2.3.3 and CM7 - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im currently running CM7 RC1 (which has been great to me btw) and i heard gingerbread 2.3.3 is finally rolling out to N1 users. i had a few questions about that:
1) do i need to return to stock android to have the 2.3.3 OTA update or will it push it through just fine?
and
2) once i do get the official 2.3.3, would that make CM7 run smoother? not run at all?

102 views and no answer? i find it really hard to get a question answered on this board...

1. yes
2. you run either or the stock/cm7. not both. one doesn't make other faster/smoother.
going stock, you loose tweaks in CM rom. if you feel the need to try, just backup your current rom, try stock. if don't like it, takes 3 minute to get back.

Yes you can try both and/or wait for CM7 to update.

I read it and did not say anything at all. Simply because the questions made me a do facepalm as I read it.
Now you complain that nobody answered a question that could have easily found looking on forums or the wiki.
I wonder how you even managed to get CM7 on your phone in the first place.

Read my signature, maybe it'll explain to you, why you don't get many answers - if you remember that people don't like answering the same thing over and over again.

The xda mantra is always an interesting read...

Reallly....?
First off, this isn't even the right spot. Move to the Q&A section.
Second, use the SEARCH button.
I'm sure this has been answered several times.
wrong section
this question has been answered a million times if you just search
im in a good mood from beer so all i will say is this:
if you are rooted you dont even need to activate with most roms (and you can do it when you have wifi access)
next time, QUESTIONS GO IN THE QnA SECTION....cmon...is it really THAT difficuly?
just noticed from your signature that you are the idiot who asked us to magically improve your signal the other night
STOP POSTING IN THE WRONG BLOODY SECTION
atleast we can read what you are saying this time...

I vote they should, they make some of the best threads... But because they also have the stupidest questions to post a thread you have to answer an Android related question. Something a SEARCH would tell you. You know it reads the subject/post looks it up and tells them to answer their own question
a bit like ubuntu forums and the way they make you answer like "what is one plus four" to get results? but android related...

I think it would work. Like this thread, how to setup with out sim. The question would be
"If you don't have a sim card, how can you setup your phone?"
looks like we have jacked this thread....
more than appropriate for threads that jack sections if you ask me

question about 2.2 update

Hello all, I am running madoco desire, and wondering if I will get the froyo update or will I have to download and install it? I am assuming it will clear my rom and all my apps right. Now if i reinstall the rom will it negate the new update? or just not work? I have used search, and read about 1000 threads. Thanks so much.
Did you know there is a QUESTION & Answer section in the forums?
Get used to the noob posts guys. We will be seeing them all week. I suggest just ignoring the thread. A mod will move it for you.
-------------------------------------

The update will only come to users of stock 2.1. It will in no way shape or form be compatible with desire rom.
How sad for the community...
What a bunch of @@%@%%@@
OK yes I do know there is a q&a section, I have read and searched in there. Not very clear answers though. If it is such a bother to help someone, then how about not being on this site! I am sure all of you at one time or another were starting out. I read this forum daily, have its app, and keep up to date for the most part. I just wast completely sure of one thing. I support a few of the DEVS on here with contributions when I can, I am just glad it isn't one of you!

Is it possible for the camera on android 2.x to wok?

I don't know how to make a rom, but I do know it's a hard job. I really want to enjoy the android 2.x, but all the cooked roms, no matter 2.1 or 2.2, do not have a working camera. I have to use it, so I just want to know if there is a possibility for me to use android 2.X?
No offense, but you should be banned... before posting you should check other threads!!!

Well yes, it can be done to get it work.
But so far, none of the coders who makes roms for tattoo doesnt know how to do it!

[Q] Froyo update for Nexus one with desire RAM

Hi folks,
I have nexus one phone and i have rooted it with desire RAM. What I need to understand is there a froyo update available that I can update on my nexus with this RAM?
Any solution or clue? Or do i need to remove desire RAM before froyo update?
note: I have 2.1 version of firmware installed at the moment.
Raheel.
This one ought to be good.
Please Google search RAM vs. ROM.

i also have the same setup but with the froyo update that your looking for. Being that you have the desire rom already on the phone you can just open the dialer type in 80 06 92 77 53 followed by the send key(phone symbol button) without the spaces of course. i just put in the spaces to make it easier to read and type. Just follow the voice prompts and you should be 2.2 after the phone reboots itself. You may have to reboot one more time to clear everything but it should work perfectly. Hope this helped and have fun. peace, veritas

You are asking me to dial a number for froyo update - isn't it? I never heard it before.

Ok, if there was a thumbs up in this forum, I would have clicked it for you. That was funny right there.
And just to think, I was ready to pull out my tiny little soldering iron and see if I could upgrade my ram too!
Remember the good ol' days when you could send a phone in PPC Techs and have new memory soldered in? I even remember doing a few hardware and antenna mods back in the day.

Hi raheel78. In case you don't already know you have posted your question in the wrong section. These types of questions go in the Q&A section. The Android development section is for strictly that.
The "help" that you have been receiving is meant to be a joke. Some people can be cruel.
Please adher to the forum rules and post questions in the right place. Also, I hope this doesn't discourage you from continuing to use XDA. Its generally a great place for Android.

[Q] Cyanogen Mod 7.1

Hi this is my first post. Im really sorry if Im posting this again and if I am just tell me to delete it and point me to the correct one.
So i want to install the Cyanogen mod 7.1 that was released yesterday onto my HTC incredible s. however since i have only just had it around a month i know very little about android rooting and how to do it.
My question is what guide should i use? is this the cyanogen mod good. i cna tpost it here it wouldnt let me.
if so i know doing so will void my warrenty and so is it like jailbreaking where all you have to do is restore to stock firmware?
Update: installed using this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Incredible_S:_Full_Update_Guide
worked like a charm
thank you very much.

welcome to the forum. just remember, this forum is chock full of great info. when you have a question, more often then not your question has already been asked. always use the search button first to reduce clutter
this phone is one of the easiest phones to root. just head here. voila. that's it.
yes, cm7 is THAT good. definitely worth it. fast and prob the best battery life out of all the roms.
you can always get the phone back to it's original state for warranty purposes. always a good idea to do a backup immediately after you root.
have fun.
ok thank you very much. Does the guide on the CyanogenMod website include how to restore to stock if you have to send your phone in?

i don't think so. that info is, however, readily available in this forum. just do a search
come to think of it, i think all you have to do is revert to the stock rom that you just backed up after rooting. someone please correct me if i'm wrong.
Does anyone also know if the root method for the HTC incredible S is temp? Does that mean you cant turn off your device? I'm confused.

no, it's not temporary. it will stay rooted until you unroot and return the device to stock/original state. why don't you try it out? it will be a good way to familiarize yourself with rooting, backing up, and restoring.
Hearing of the release of CM7 got me finally around of rooting my phone. This forum offers great tutorials and I managed to root is fairly easily. After rooting I was also asked wheter I wanted to flash CWM and I answered yes. Everything went OK and I was able to try CM7 after 30 minutes or so. The most time consuming operation was creating backup with CWM recovery.
But my opinion about CM7 isn't good. While I like the the effects and other neat customisation possibilities 3 thing turn me off.
First, I really love HTC's phone or dialler application which helps me find contacts by entering their number or trying to type their names. This is the single most useful thing invented on a telephone. As CM7 doesn't support that (only enterning numbers as far as I know) I will not use it.
Second, I wasn't able to connect to Exchange server for some reason
Third, Android Market shut itself down after 10 seconds and repeatedly kept doing that.

PS. I would have liked to post this info to developers forums, but as I don't have rights, I couldn't.

The markets fixed by going in to language settings and selecting English again.
Exchange worked fine for me...
Download another dialer application..
I'd choose double the speed, battery life and ram any day over sense
lets not start cm7 vs sense. this thread will never end really, it comes down to individual preference and that's not something we can argue.
cm7 isn't prefect but it's close, imo.
Please recommend a dialer app and I will give it a try Dialer One maybe?
Thanks for the market tip.

sounds good. and there are guides in the dev forum if you need some assurance.
Cannot download anything from the Market for unknown reason. The download bar just scrolls endlessly.
E: Restart helped. Everything seems to be working just fine. Will give an estimate of battery usage in a few days time. And will test out Skype as well.
I feel as though the guides here need to be updated current one is from June. Not complaining just sayin is all.

Well I think the HTC incredible S was a temp root but from what I can work out and what you have and others have said it is not. I haven't tried it yet but I'm going to tonight.
