I've unlocked, installed CWM, rooted it, installed busybox via the busybox installer from the market (which requires root), however titanium tells me that the SU command fails and I should attempt to re-root my device
Where should I go from here before I break something?
Thanks
UPDATE:
Never mind, booted into recovery, reinstalled VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2.zip all is good
had the same drama at first nice fix how are you finding the phone???
So fair I am impressed with the speed, I have not used 4G yet, its not available in my area yes, but its light years ahead of all the other handsets here even on 3G.
Physically I was expecting it to be heavier, and coming from a HTC HD2, the lock and volume buttons are perfectly positioned so that I accidentally press them all the time as they are in opposite of what I am used to and its the same width but 1 cm taller, which means I can no longer use my leather belt pouch I miss having a physical hangup and separate physical answer key which through the circumstances of its birth (WinMo 6.5) the HD2 was blessed with. Build quality on the MicroSD card slot is lacking, it could have been made better. I also miss being able to hot-swap the microsd card as I could in the HD2, instead I have to pull the battery which is annoying.
Software wise, I gotta say that I am REALLY missing MIUI, Sense is very pretty but I find it is not really what I am looking for and its quite clunky in comparison to MIUI... and I hate how it squashes down widgets for no reason at all. I will probably play around with AWD or LauncherPro in the meantime, I'm also not really a fan of the ringpull unlock screen but I'm sure I will get used to it in time. I noticed that the VIVID and RAIDER have sense 3.0, where as the Velocity has Sense 3.5... maybe ROM people can yank a clean build from the Telstra build along with teeter
BlueTooth - Works Great, Syncs INSTANTLY with my car, never skips on A2DP, works great.
Wifi - Works fantastically
Games work great on it, I'm cranking away with my PSX emulator (FPSE) and GTA III runs good, I was originally disappointed it didn't run better but after I reduced the draw distance in the game settings it was good, I think I had too many apps running as well. I installed ATK to take care of that and the phone is much better after I have ATK autorun every hour and clean up background apps.
Battery life I can't tell because I have been using it almost the entire time and it melts through it pretty fast, I'd give it a week of normal day to day use before I really give a verdict on it, I do have the screen at 100% brightness all the time which doesn't help, and I already have an extended battery in the mail. I sync 2 gmail accounts and an exchange account, all in push, and I just leave BT and WIFI on all the time as I like just jumping in the car and it works, or getting home and already being on the wifi.
Overall I give it a 6 out of 10 so far, with CM7 or CM9 and MIUI that would quickly elevate to an 8 out of 10, with all the space inside the phone, the size of the standard battery is disappointing, they could have put one almost twice the size in there if they arranged the sim and microsd slots better.
The biggest problem is that I was really spoiled with the HTC HD2, I'd say 90% of my gripes with the phone are with sense, I find it ugly and clunky and I wish HTC had just left android alone... I don't have an issue with gingerbread, I haven't used ICS yet and I'm in no busting rush. As soon as the ROM community grows up for this phone it will be amazing, until then its kinda meh.

Sorry if I offended, I meant no disrespect, any thread in the dev forum with the word sense in the title (ie most of them)... I have not bothered with, when some sense free roms show up, then I will be excited

I went to town on launchers and things today and significantly improved the base system.... ADW Launcher, screen density of 200 and widget locker have made this a much nicer playground
still, widget locker isn't perfect, every now and then I see the standard lockscreen for a few seconds, so its like the sense lockscreen is still activating in the background

if rooted, you can also go into /system/app/ and rename HTCLockscreen.apk to HTCLockscreen.bak and it will remove the ring lockscreen, and put it back on the old sliding tab lockscreen (froyo/gingerbread stock/aosp lockscreen)

Cool trick. It doesn't break anything? I remember doing something similar on my Desire and I couldn't dismiss alarms (ugh) or answer calls, I'd have to do a battery pull.
(also, I think you need to be rooted to disable the stock lockscreen in WidgetLocker, so maybe it's essentially doing the same thing; alarms/calls work fine on my Vivid with it disabled, so maybe I'm answering my own question)

i did it on my mytouch4g and had problems dismissing alarms, but i got gentle alarm, so i didnt worry about it any more, lol
havent done it on this phone yet
i take that back, i did it, but i didnt run any alarms or test any calls, so i dont know if that is broken or not
Ah yes found it, settings > advanced > disable stock lock.
it warns that this will make any of the physical keys wake the device, I'm cool with that
Yeah, I actually like waking my phone with the volume buttons sometimes, depending on how I end up grabbing it in my jacket pocket. And it's not like they unlock the phone; I have WidgetLocker set to only have a 15-second timeout, overriding the normal display timeout, so I'm not too worried about accidental battery drain.

Loving this ROM. Fast and smooth.
Can't buy apps from the market though- it just returns the generic error. Is there a fix for that?

Strangest thing.... Was on CNA, decided to try ICSSGS, didn't like it as well so flashed back and calendar was there. I assume because I did not wipe on the flash back to CNA?
FWIW, I have tried this, ICSSGS, and CM9. CNA is my favorite. I have had almost no issues. 1 app won't run, but it is from my small, local bank.

That issue is fixed on ICSSGS and maybe others, I'm not certain if it involves some adjustments ROM-side, or it should be fixed by using latest gapps. I previously encountered the issue but haven't seen it in quite some time.
The alternative would be buying them in the browser/pc.
How To Print Screen
Anyone know how I would perform a print screen?
Nevermind, found the answer (Volume Down + Power Button)
Hi guys,
I'm interested in trying this ROM out.
I'm coming from Serendipity VII, which if I understand correctly is I9000 based. Just to make sure I understand what I'm doing, I should just be able to reboot to recovery, and install the CNA ROM from the zip file, correct? Any other steps necessary?
Thanks

I got it installed (with the Glitch kernel - running at 1.4Ghz so far), and I'm very impressed
The only issue I haven't yet been able to figure out is the external SD card. It seems that it now gets mounted under /mnt/emmc/ ? For whatever reason, the music player can't find the media that I have on the external SD card. Any ideas? I can find it using ES File Explorer and play the files individually.
Privacy
There has been an ever-increasing number of apps which want access to private information (like call logs, location, and contact information) without needing it to run the application. I'm talking about games and not apps which require such information like Anti-virus and such. Will we ever have a permission manager a la MIUI on this ROM? I understand that many developers work in concert, so I am wondering why most ROM's are not created with safeguards in place to protect private information. I am aware that I am not in the MIUI Q&A section, but I feel this is an issue that all ROM's should consider in order to protect private information. I know that I don't have to install apps which ask for this information if I don't want to give up my information, but it seems that every app nowadays asks for these permissions and it would be a shame to continue as if there were nothing wrong with compromising private information to play a game.
Thanks in advance.
I was one if the unlucky ones that had no 3g data after flashing this rom, flashed glitch, moved apn-conf.XML to the /system/etc/ directory overwriting the old file.
This did not bring data back. I decided to look at the apn list and noticed that it was blank. Clicked the menu button, then selected reset to defaults. Ten minutes later I had data.
Lock Screen
Has the lock screen been updated to allow for custom applications where it shows the icon of the custom application instead of that alien looking character? This was one of the reasons I moved away from this ROM and would love to come back. I'm not a fan of having to try to remember which application ties to which alien character.

Not yet. It still shows the animated android.
Nostalgia shows the custom icons on the ICS lock screen. (haven't flashed any other ICS roms yet.)
Update 3/24:
All aosp roms do not show custom icons.
All aokp based roms do show custom icons.
aosp also seems a little laggier than aokp. Playing angry birds space @ 1.3 ghz resulted in click and audio lag. (Gummy charged was my aosp test platform at that time).
Docs runs blazing fast at same speed with no click lag. Aokp m28 clocked at 800 MHz / glitch runs smooth. I think this is because of the scrolling cache which I force disabled in from control.
Thanks for your work bringing ics to captivate.
Any way to disable the proximity sensor in this rom? The thing is the cappy i purchased came with that sensor dead.. This makes the phone freeze while making calls for example.. I'm using right now MIUI 2.3.2 Gingerbread 2.3.7 and I can disable it with almost no effort at all..
Thanks in advance
P.S. Check it out the attachment

Sorry but I don't really see how the rotation would be related to the proximity sensor functionalities. I could try that, but I would be more than grateful if you could explain me a little further the relationship between those two.. Anyways I have to download the rom, nandroid backup, and flash everything to test it out.

you are correct, the proximity sensor does not control rotation. a bit a of a flub on my part sorry.
here are some things I tried with my AOKP rom (don't think the AOSP - CNA is too much different?)
1) There is no setting in the call menu for the proximity sensor.
2) However if you cover your sensor (which is broken anyways right?) a dab of black nail polish, to block all the light from it. I covered my sensor with my thumb and the screen stayed on. However if the problem is deeper within your hardware (possibly the control IC for the sensor), it will still lock up when it tries to access the current state of the sensor.
3) It's possible from what I've found that your sensor is okay, and that there is an internal blockage to the sensor cover. (though, my phone didn't lock up with the sensor covered?). Try canned air/ Vacuum to clear the blockage?
4) There are a several application options as none of the ICS roms I've used appear to have that MIUI option.

Hi guys,
I recently flashed new CyanogenMod 11 on my moto x and I lost active display and touchless control app can anyone tell me how do I get back these two app
You don't.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the only ROMs that have Touchless & Active are stock-based ROMs. So AOKP, AOSP, PA, & CM ROMs do not have these features.
I tried using Peekbut not as good as stock AD

That the reason i stay with the stock rom. But just wondering which specific features do you want of CM?, because you can implement nearly all with modules on Xposed Framework, especially with GravityBox.

There is a Play store app that is similar to active display I believe, but that is the best you'll get.
And it will use far more battery, as it won't run off the low voltage core.
If you just want to flash ROMs but keep Moto features you should check out Eclipse or Krypton. Also checkout Faux kernel (not a rom but still modding fun and great battery life boost got me). AOSP implementation of active display is pretty awful compared to native active display, in my opinion.
Will v give that a try. Right now I'm in PAC ROM and so far it's good but still as you said native active display is the best

I tried using PAC for a few days. The battery drain for me was terrible. Every time I pulled my phone out of my pocket the screen was on. I think I screwed up by having active display and their notification screen enabled. Additionally, the 'blame the split screen' crashes were amusing the first few times but quickly became infuriating.
I'm currently trying out slimrom on my moto x. It doesn't have active display, but it's probably the smoothest rom I've used on the phone. I'm using an app from the Play Store, DynamicNotifications, which is a better option, imo, verse the built in AOSP version (which I believe is based on AcDisplay, but I could be completely wrong about that).
I'm going to give slim a try for a few days, but I don't think anything will work as well Eclipse.
If you're set on an AOSP rom, give slim a chance. If you want a feature packed AOSP rom, check out LiquidSmooth (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-liquidsmooth-v3-1-moto-x-ghost-t2781356). I think LS has the same features or almost the same features as PAC, but it didn't crash nearly as much on my device. I actually made it a full week before switching back to Eclipse.
I will try LS this time

I recently rooted my moto X 2013 and used cm12 for about 1 week. It's solid but i prefer active display over ambient display and the ability to use shake for camera & moto voice. Today i switched back to stock and got xposed framework. I'm already liking it more than cm12. what do you guys prefer?
I prefer stock roms :fingers-crossed:
Stock. Everything works as it should, and I am so accustomed to xposed and its feature set that I couldn't think twice. I need a daily driver phone wise and this phone has been fantastic.
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
stock for sure. it's like having aosp but better cause everything works. especially with xposed.
You can do something like Carbon or CM11 with Xposed. Its much powerful than CM12 which is still in nightlies and has few major bugs like call audio, BT etc
Stock or stock-based rom with GravityBox.
Eclipse FTW!! Xposed hacks and slashes your framework. Eclipse is stock based so everything works and mods are hard coded like they should be. Just my opinion.

That and YouTube Adaway are all I need..so far.
I threw smooth progress bar on there too just for fun.
I tried cm12 a couple of days ago. It a really nice, but I just couldn't handle not having gravity box, just because I use it for custom vibration patterns for notifications going to my watch.
I was also surprised how much I missed Active Notifications, especially the quick swipe to on when I pick it up. That was the feature I thought was the silliest when I bought the phone. Go figure... Back to eclipse I went.
anyone else seeing the laggy and jumpy rotating dot when using the stopwatch on stock google clock app?
what is that? poor coding of the software or cpu/gpu settings?
i tested stock M and also stock based Cataclysm rom and same thing on both with default kernel settings, nothings changed.
anyone knows how to fix it? i knows its just a little thing but its really annoying.
Why don't you just download timely? It works great and its an app/team of developers that have been acquired by Google. I don't even use the stock app.

also tried the Timely app and it has no lag whatsoever, in fact it has much more animations in the background along with the circling animation so its definitely not the phone; just poorly written codes in Clock app.
