Often imitated, never duplicated! Focused 1.8.6

Plug in your phone via usb (usb mode) or unmount the SD card. Worked for me

Droid74, I noticed the same thing. My battery was housed after I updated. I figure some bugs still have to be worked out, might flash back to 1.6 in the mean time.
 
i know drod is a user of ADW but are there any issues if you use Launcher Pro Plus.

There were some minor LPP issues with 1.0 and 1.6, widgets not loading/updating/etc. correctly, and I'm pretty sure they will be issues on 1.8.4.
It's been shown to be an issue with LPP not playing well with the ROM, not a ROM issue however.
 
Both installed fine for me.
What happens when you try to install? Error? Just fails?
Maybe try clearing data/cache for market?
Menu> settings> Applications> Manage Applications> all tab> Market
Force stop, clear data, clear cache.

Try again.. ?

I cleared the Data, no cache in Market:
Sky Map and Angry Birds both download and fails the install with the "Installation Unsuccessful" error.

I got Angry Birds to restore by restoring the app only then doing the data separate. I am going to go back to my ROM backup and see if I can do the same with Sky Map I guess.

This worked. I don't know what the problem was, but as long as I can play Angry Birds and look at the sky, I am happy.

thank you sir, i think my best bet would be to use ADW. i've never used it but i'm assuming its pretty much the same thing as far as customizing.
 
I installed this right on top of 1.6, which I installed right on top of 1.0... So far so good. I haven't encountered any problems or instability. I also installed my modified version of Juicemane's Black Juice theme without issue. I did not clear data/cache prior to installing but I did clear davlik cache and regular cache along with battery stats afterwards.

Edit: Witholding opinion on battery performance since I did wipe battery stats. Might take me a couple days to get it stabilized there, but I have noticed that today my battery is at 50% after only 4.5 hours. Again, I don't know how accurate that is because of wiping battery stats as well as playing an abnormal amount of Angry Birds and WordFeud :)

not sure it is only me but I couldn't get to 3G with focused 1.8.6 yet. it shows me constant EDGE since welcome page even before I registered my google account. I used to get full 3G at where I work but couldn't get to 3G at the same location now. it's been 2 hrs since I flashed the ROM but still constantly showing 1X. Any idea guys

I'm having the same issue... My 3G keeps dropping to no bars(from full bars) and then the phone switches to 1X mode. It gets stuck in 1X for a while unless I toggle airplane mode. I hardly ever dropped 3G with rubiX 1.6. With 1.8.6 its been happening all morning.

Did you try *228 to and doing option 2? Or even option 1?

No issues with pics... no clue there.

Battery life, mine seemed fine yesterday, not 3 or 4 hours bad, like someone posted... But again, I wasn't specifically watching for it. Few things I can check on.. but this is a drod question if it's happening, I don't have details of exactly what was changed, so I don't know where to start looking...

Yes, I did both right after I installed 1.8.6.

Interesting... I haven't had that happening. Usually I do switch back and forth while at work due to poor signal but today it's been 3G at 2-3 bars all day.
