DarkSlide V4 - .340 ROM - Style, Quadrant, Linpack Champ

[NattyBee]

Switched over from Rubix, everything seemed amazing at first. come across 2 problems, did i do something wrong or are they problems with the rom. Followed all directions, Did 4.1 then 4.2 Update.

1. Camcorder app doesn't record, boots up but closes w/o message shortly after pressing the record button. I thought this could be because i used blurless version of the rom.

2. I can't connect to Pandora to retrieve music. i use this daily, i searched just about this entire thread looking for mention of either of these problems with no luck. Can someone please test out Pandora to see if its my install or the Rom that is causing the problem.

Besides these 2 problems every single thing else with the Rom is perfect? sucks that both of those things i would like to keep for functionality.

What Rubix did you come from? They are not problems with the rom- but I believe I know where the problem came from, and how to fix it.

im actually not sure, i wanna say 1.95 but i could have been a previous one, i made a backup i could restore it and check. i took a guess and assumed it was 2.2.32 and just updated straight from it.

These are common issues for one who came from a build older than 2.3.32 so i'm thinking that's what happened...you have a windows-pc?

Just tested both of these out. Camcorder recorded fine, didn't close.

Pandora also loaded and is playing just fine.

Try rebooting, or re-installing it and see if that fixes it.

That won't fix it...he needs to sbf 2.3.32 and then reinstall...

Ok...using Root Explorer:
-open the BlackedOutGmail.zip...in it you will find a few folders.
-Open the folder "app"...extract Gmail.apk (It should extract to "sdcard/extracted")
-Go into this folder, copy the file Gmail.apk.

Go into system/app and find Gmail.apk
-rename it to Gmail.bak
-now paste the gmail.apk you extracted and copied. Then change the permissions to match the Gmail you just renamed.
Reboot.

This worked for me...let me know...

Im new to installing roms on the droid x. Not to installing on the Droid 1. My question im running the latest fw. Can I do a nandroid backup and use it if I want to revert to stock since its the same fw? Also do I need to reformat my phone or can I install over what I have now?

So for anyone wanting to add this BlackedOut Gmail to DarkSlide - download zip http://www.mediafire.com/?f9wr0zjsfwrwmt8 (credit to ecsnead69 ) Then do as JMTownsend83 stated : using Root Explorer:
-open the BlackedOutGmail.zip...in it you will find a few folders.
-Open the folder "app"...extract Gmail.apk (It should extract to "sdcard/extracted")
-Go into this folder, copy the file Gmail.apk.

Go into system/app and find Gmail.apk
-rename it to Gmail.bak
-now paste the gmail.apk you extracted and copied. Then change the permissions to match the Gmail you just renamed.
Reboot.

If you have already 2.3.34 then yes, you can always revert back to your nandroid whenever you want...

As for installing...I posted up a set of Instructions a few pages ago that will take you to DarkSlide 4.2

Here you go:
First...make sure your system is either 2.3.32 or 2.3.34. (Settings>about phone will tell you this)
Install "Droid X Bootstrapper" from Market.
**Make sure these files are on your sdcard--DarkSlide4.1 (blur or not that's your choice) and matching 4.2 update, and DarkSlide Market zip.
Then:
-in Bootstrapper
Bootstrap Recovery
Reboot Recovery
-in Backup and Restore
Backup (better safe than sorry!)
-back to main Recovery
-in Mounts and Storage
Mount system
-back to main Recovery Menu
Wipe data/factory reset
-install zip from sdcard
Choose zip from sdcard
select DarkSlide 4.1
Install
-back to main Recovery Menu
Reboot
Setup your phone

-Bootstrapper
Bootstrap Recovery
Reboot Recovery
-install zip from sdcard
Choose zip from sdcard
Select 4.2 update
Install
-back to main Recovery Menu
Install zip from sdcard
Choose zip from sdcard
Select Black-Market update
Install
-back to main Recovery Menu
Reboot
Enjoy

If you get stuck- PM me...i'm always glad to help out.
