1) Sam, IINM you are using 19.4BFS by Franco. Would you recommend moving to it? How's it performance and battery life?

standby time is excellent. can get out 2.5days.
browsing doesn't taxes battery life a lot.
smooth @ 748/480Mhz smoothass v2.

2) There are two version of franco.Kernel; CFS and BFS. What are these exactly and how they differ and which one is better?

have read that BFS is better for interaction & single app use. have not tried any CFS kernel yet.

3) Are my steps for flashing franco. kernel correct?: a) Download the franco.Kernel and move the zip to SD card. b) Power Off the phone and boot into recovery by holding Volume down + Home + Power button simultaneously. c) Select Wipe cache partition and then Advanced > Wipe battery stats. I don't need to "Wipe Date/Factory Reset", right? d) Select install zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard. Flash and then reboot.

yes. just flash it.

Dual / Multi boot possible with options to select Rom at Boot ?

 

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Yes, saw something like that over XDA. Search it.

Guys i'm using void forever... i wish to move to CM7... Since flashing new ROM will format the phone. Its really a tough job to install all the apps again! I have a doubt...
1) Will the Apps installed on SD card will work on new ROM?
2) How to backup & restore apps installed in ROM?
Pl advice..

In Void Forever... gmaps is not starting automatically!!

 

[krishnandu.sarkar]

1. No.

2. You can take backup of current apps with Titanium Backup. And restore them in CM7.

 

[chandrudme]

Thanks krish,

i have taken the backup with Titanium Backup... but after flashing cm7 Titanium Backup app will also be removed... so after reinstall it from market, will it recognize the backed up data stored in the SD card?

 

[tmanikandan]

Yes, saw something like that over XDA. Search it

For O1 ?

 

[guru_urug]

yes. i have seen too.

save the titanium backup folder in your PC, if you wish to erase the memory card fully. later restore folder & titanium backup will show all the backup apps.

hmm. so it supports 8mp camera. i think the prob will be fixing the resolution and lib files.. gonna buy a second hand nokia with 5 mp.. how is the x2 camera.. feedback is not good about it..

will it support symbian anna ??

Thanks for the reply krishnandu and Sam. Last question before flashing kernel: Does flashing kernel formats phone memory and/or memory card?

Nothing comes pre-installed. Those are included in GAPPS that you flashed.
You can remove them easily as you are on GB. I'd recommend to you Titanium Backup.

I don't see any option to uninstall app using Titanium backup? Where's it?

4) After flashing with new kernel, I'm thinking of calibrating my battery but there are plethora of ways of doing the same over the internet which is leaving me all confused. How to calibrate battery properly?

Anyone?

No. Nothing gets wiped on its own.

You are kidding, right?
Changing the camera. And then the libs and all for it to work. This will take too much time with an 80% chance of bricking the phone.

maybe its possible.But not for us.

Wow. So the date came afterall.

and there's Ice-cream sandwich coming in about a month.

It can support Anna. Only if someone ports it.

Thanks for the reply krishnandu and Sam. Last question before flashing kernel: Does flashing kernel formats phone memory and/or memory card?

Memory Card - No
Phone Memory - Yes. The ROM will be installed there only. So it'll erase Phone Memory.

I don't see any option to uninstall app using Titanium backup? Where's it?

Tap a particular app, and the option to backup, uninstall, restore will appear.

 

[Gollum]

upgraded to official Indian gingerbread using kdz just like i did froyo.
gb ROM is quite good
performance wise, its awesome!
note it plays mp4 in the default player. also plays sd video in default player. they definitely fixed that problem.
battery life is great too.
how do i get the dsp manager now?

 

[coderunknown]

Phone Memory - Yes. The ROM will be installed there only. So it'll erase Phone Memory.

are you sure installing kernel will erase phone memory? cause apps won't get erased. i doubt if contacts will get deleted.

 

[TechnoFan]

Memory Card - No
Phone Memory - Yes. The ROM will be installed there only. So it'll erase Phone Memory.

I just flashed my phone with that kernel. No, nothing get erased..neither phone memory nor contacts. Phone is running comparatively faster now with no lag whatsoever(previously it used to lag a little).

Tap a particular app, and the option to backup, uninstall, restore will appear.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks.

I hope using ROM, O1 users can upgrade to Ice-cream sandwich. Don't think it will be released for this device(?).

Thanks for updating.
