What kernels are available for a GB based Rom? Thinking of getting rid of ICS so I can go back to a Rom with sense 3.5. Didn't know what options are available.

I'm honestly not sure what GB kernels are still around. Just out of curiosity, why would you want to go back to GB?

I for one, decided to go back to GB because of voice dial over bluetooth. Its a feature I really need and have not found a working solution on ICS
I want to go back for 2 reasons, both having to do with my exchange email. As much playing around as I do with my phone, first and foremost it is for business and ICS doesn't play nice with exchange. First, by going back to Sense 3.5, I can get my html email back. Second, the push function works solid with GB. I can't seem to get ICS, regardless of ROM, to hold my exchange settings such as email frequency and amount of days to download, etc. At the end of the day, this phone is used to make me money and it's important that I get emails as they arrive and not 15-30 minutes after the fact.

I'm not sure why you'd be having those issues on ICS without knowing what your Exchange environment looks like but I have none of those issues with ICS and Exchange 2007/2010. I have HTML email, push works as it should, and syncs back a week. In fact it works exactly as it did on GB. That's strange.
When you switch ROMs, you're not restoring System data through Titanium Backup are you?
Sent from an HTC Vivid via XDA Premium
I don't use any backup actually. I reinstall all apps and settings manually everytime. I assume its ICS because Ive had these problems even when I was stock Rom. Care to share a copy of your exchange.apk? Or is it mail.apk.

I have a Captivate for my wife for Christmas. She is not electronically deficient, but is not the type that is going to want to keep tweaking and changing ROMs. I do stuff like this all the time, for myself and for her, but just do not have the time to learn it all on this particular platform. I am hoping just to get a push in the right direction, not necessarily newb handholding.
So, are there any good recommendations for a "one-time good-enough tons-better-than-stock" ROM that I can get on this phone and have her be happy with it? Thanks!
Tough one
Cognition had some stable 2.1 roms that are nice.
also has 2.2 roms
Axura is great 2.2 but you will have to use google voice for voice mail notifications to work.
For casual user, avoid roms with over click kernels, just my opinion

I would have to say Cognition it's pretty rock solid.
I'd wait till' they officialy release froyo for cappy and people start making roms with it. At least it's what I'm gonna do since most 2.2 roms have problems.

Thanks. Cognition looked like the best option. I looked through that and Perception, and it seemed like they were both good...but there seems like there is always some underlying little issue. Stuff like having to work around getting voicemail, or a wired headset not working like it should.
I think I will just run with the latest Cognition, and if she finds something squirrely it can go back to stock until 2.2 is released. Any recommendations for working with Cognition?
Read up on the lag fix. I believe it uses voodoo. To disable create a folder in the voodoo folder on the sd named disable-lagfix reboot
If you look to apply themes make sure you disable first. To enable delete folder, reboot

Voodoo changes the filing system on the phone from rfs.to ext 4. The utility you use to flash themes, clockwork recovery does not always play nice with ext 4. It is safest to disable the lagfix to apply changes like themes then once applied turn it back on

Well this guy is really good at making a rom. im downloading his 1.3 version (should be equal too, if not better), but the 1.2, FREAKING AWESOME! Its my go to rom when i have issues with other roms. Definitely easy to use. only problem was one app was funky, but its the apps fault, others complained about it (on the games website). has the muli touch keyboard and has some great lagfix options. can even overclock IF you really need too. Well hope this helped, if not, best of luck and Merry Christmas!
Bumping up my own ancient thread. My wife has been happily running her Captivate with Cognition for over a year and a half now. It is starting to get a bit long-in-the-tooth and glitchy. With all of the changes over this time, I certainly would like to update it. For daily, average use it looks like CM9 is a safe bet. Are there any JB roms that are worth it and stable? Is there much to be gained from JB over ICS?
Also, I have never had to restore before. I have done some searching and some googling, but nothing seems too clear to me. What all do I need to do to save everything (contacts, calls, messages, applications, app data, pictures, etc.) so that it can be seamlessly transitioned to a new ROM?

In my opinion CM10 is a great improvement! The current installs all seem to factory reset, so you loose all your apps.
If you stick with CM9 you can flash right over top of what's there. Of course wiping the dalvik and flashing gapps too.

So I can flash from Android 2.2 to 4.0 without impacting any of the data on the phone? That seems almost too good to be true!

I am running CM7 stable, but do remember having issues with stock several months ago. There are some workarounds to get things going. Look at these two links. There are several options to attempt. The Navdress Book worked for me. Good luck.

The stock Contacts app is not intended for anything except using with the stock B&N apps. It does not sync against Google etc... It's pretty much useless IMO. It's not the same app you'd see on any standard Android installation, as they would all use your Google account to sync etc.
In order to get contacts in the stock NC ROM for the purposes of sending emails etc, there are various kludges. It's one of a handful of limitations of the stock ROM.

So I have two different gmail accounts on my LG Thrill. (One Business, One Personal)
The market app keeps changing the default account to my business account.
Makes it harder to keep up with updates.
Is there any way to fix this?
Sorry if this is a newb question, I can't figure it out.
When you first set up the phone...which account did you use during set up. mine always defaults to that account and never changes.
If you need to change that...the only way i am aware of is a factory reset ...or manually switch (which until now...i had no idea you could do)

Same on G2x
Oh good, my G2x with CM7 has been doing the same thing. Thought I was going to have to wipe. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.
Agreed. It's really annoying having to keep switching back to my primary account. I don't want to make any purchases until it's fixed. Don't want to risk the purchase going to an incorrect account.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Unless you've added a credit card to the other account(s), then there will be no risk on making purchases under the wrong account.
If you're that paranoid, you can always activate the PIN protection so it forces you to enter a PIN code to authorise an app purchase.
same here!! keep defaulting to the other account... any news on a fix for this yet??

It seems to be every time there is an update to the market app. Just updated again last night. Not sure on a fix yet.
What's the latest version of the market?
Im glad its not just me.. Im having the same problem. The account I used to set the phone up is my main account but it keeps switching to my other account and its fustrating. I dont even have a thrill I have a HTC desire Z. I guess this is a cross platform thing.
It started with me when I updated to 2.3.6, it could be the market though. But I noticed that in sync settings that my accounts are in alphabetical order now, and it switches to the top one. Which is also my google apps business account, and my original account is on the bottom, which is my personal. Rooted Nexus S, stock 2.3.6 rom and kernel.
Update
Market version 3.1.5
In the market, accounts menu, my accounts display in my original installed order. It defaults to the wrong account when it notifies that there is an app update.

same problem here on an SGS2 @ 2.3.5
Same problem for me on my Droid 3 (which is rooted, but running the stock flavor of the OS). I found where some folks on the official Android Market forum have a thread going that describes this same problem. Hopefully it will get fixed soon. In the meantime, I will probably just removed my secondary Google accounts for now, since I rarely actually need to use them.
-SR-
Same thing on my Thunderbolt. I have 3 accounts. my personal (first to set up and my "primary" online account), then my 'professional' account (tied to things like LinkedIn, used for resumes and such) and a third 'random' account used for things like 1 time deals and such.
I had root with stock and running CM7. on both ROMs i'd still have my perofessional account be the "primary" account in the market. frustrating.

I love the UNL3ASH3D ROM so far, but it altered the account setup. I can only do gmail, yahoo, or corporate sync. This is a big negative for me. Any ideas how to fix it? I need to be able to add an IMAP account by server name.

I have checked every day on the Unl3ash3d thread for an update but nothing so far.
I thought I was the only one and was going crazy. I started using the K9 E-Mail app, but it was draining battery (possibly)
Switched back to stock rom as well, i loved the ROM otherwise... But I NEEDED the mail app, I was most comfortable with it too, and able to change the settings on it to only sync every 3 hours, which saves tremendous battery
Ya, I am currently using the K9 app as well. Hopefully there is an update soon to fix it.

I can't figure out how to switch accounts in the stock email unless I get a new email on the other account!
Something I am missing?
I put this in the General section because there is no development going on with this at all (in this thread keep an eye open in dev section for a rom built from this base). If mods want to move it to Dev section then so be it, but there is nothing else being done to this zip.
THIS IS A PURE STOCK TELSTRA SENSE 3.5 build. It has been rooted, deodexed, zipaligned, but nothing else has been done to make it any better. it still has all the Telstra bloat, and horrible wallpapers.
this is not designed for people to flash willy nilly, if you dont know how to fastboot the boot.img on it, then it will not work for you, and i will not hold your hand in doing so. all this is, is a stock base, CWM flashable for anyone to use as they please. if you dont know how to do any of this stuff, then leave it alone and let someone else do the hard work for you, but dont complain about anything. nothing in this zip has been optimized for the vivid or canadian raider.
i have attached the boot.img in a zip file to this post, you HAVE to fastboot flash the boot image before you can flash the rom in CWM. if you dont know how, you better google that ish.
i am not responsible for stupidity. i have flashed this onto my phone 30 times already in various stages, so it is somewhat usable in its current form, but needs a lot of tweaks and changes.
thanks to bananacakes for his updater-script, and binary, as the one i was originally trying to use didnt like me and i didnt want to waste time on it.
again...i repeat. this is not for you if you dont know how to make it work. this is not a hand holding thread, and i am not supporting this

not only that, it moves your mailbox from one voicemail system to another, so you lose any saved messages, all your greetings. Pain in the ass, not worth it.
Holy cow, bloatware in the stock HTC apps?! Dang. I can't believe that it's actually worse than ATT.
Looks like RRb5 took care of most of it; I'd still like to see some Sense 3.5 Beats music up in there, though. I figured out how to "port" it between Sense 3 ROMs, but efforts to port to 3.5 failed as they completely redid the music app for that.
Going to temporarily roll back to Sense 3 for now, till 3.5 is fully debloated. Great ROM though, Pirate!
