CyanogenMod 5.0.6.1

Amidst all the current chaos Yesterday I jumped the fence from UD9.8. To make it easier I bought Rom Manager i was on wifi, but the download for CM took 45min!.....but after that smooth sailing, and I download the nextheme via browser so it didn't have to take all week...i also got a refund from RM since it was too slow.

Once everything was installed and all was good I used P3 1gzOC and while I was getting poorer performance results on tests vs UD, but CM seemed way snappier and faster than UD in real use, which is what's most important.

So even tho my answer before trying CM would have been biased, and after using it and deciding to stick with it I will say CM is superior.

But for one thing I don't like is all the CM fanboys and how they act on this forum.....childish hecklers at it's best. Although if it were not for the recent events I would have missed out on CM.

In the end CM is my favorite Rom thus far. I thank Koush and CM. To show my gratitude I went back and purchased rom manager which I think is still useless since its slow, but to show some thanks.

TY
 
Alot of the slow downloading is because Koush's mirrors are getting hammered badly.. it was never this slow :)
 
I would like to make sure before I reinstall 5.0.6.1 that everything from previous ROM's are gone. What steps would be recommended?

If you're using RM it will prompt you if you want to wipe data and cache after it's downloaded right before you boot into recovery to continue.
 
Fonts and unwanted programs

Does anyone know how to change the fonts like you could in UD9.8 also, how do you delete unwanted programs through custom scripts (terminal emulator)

I dont know how it was done is UD but in the ROM manager under forkups section there are many MANY fonts to choose from.

I did that on my first install but it seems that there might be some things left from UD V10. Does CM5.0.6.1 have a wallpaper with those cheerleaders and my wifi settings were still there.
 
Does it take anyone else like a minute or so after the phone finishes booting before the home screen fully loads? (Using the 2D home screen btw...I hate the 3D app launcher)
 
I was on 5.0.5.7 running fine , downloaded 5.0.6.1 was also not having any issues. Decided to try a theme, and downloaded hexfusion , which was for 5.0.5.7 . I didn't think there was that much of a version change so thought I would try it , but I noticed after a bit that my phone wasn't receiving calls . I tried to *22899 to update the towers, but the call wouldn't go through. No biggie.. just reinstall backup, but no matter what back up I install even the orignal after installing CM the phone doesn't call out.

I have battery pulled, wiped data, cache, boot, system etc.. and still no luck ? any other suggestions ?

Thank you
Mike

Not sure what to say other than I did the exact same as you went from 5.0.5.7 to 5.0.6.1 and installed the same HexFusion after wiping partitions and my calls ect all work fine...

I did have a similar situation last week and it turns out Verzion was updating the towers in my area ( rumored LTE related ) and after about 4 hours service was back online and then I could finally program and register on the network.
