[ROM] [RELEASE] Steel Droid: 5.0 Gingerbread - 1-11-2013

[bronco221]

Did you get your apk from a deodexed rom? Since this is a deodexed rom I think pulling it from the deodexed stock is what allowed it to work on mine. same with quick office.

No i dont think so. I will have to find one.

Wished someone could figure out a way for battery to overcharge 5-10% for boost,I think googles settings are stopping it early,with that extra 5% boost battery will stay up longer and shouldnt hurt it.I may try to figure it out.

You don't have to have messaging or the universal inbox. I have neither (as they are bloat) and email works perfectly. Now synced with my corporate account

Yes, you're absolutely right... I was in the process of figuring that out. I am up and running with only the email. Sorry for the confusion. I was just trying to help figure out how to fix the issue. I failed to mention that the apk I got was from the deodexed zip. :icon_eek:

Man sounds like everyone is having issues doing this new rom. I think ill just stay with my rooted,frozen bloatware d3. Ever since the update the phone just seems a hell lot better, and the battery kicks butt. Today I was on 19 hrs and ihad a lot of use. Any reason why I should do this tomy phone.

No issues here. I flashed 1.0 and everything just worked. This morning I flashed 2.0 and everything is fine.

I've been running SDv2.0 since Chevy gave it to me to test, only issue I've had is the Font Installer FC'ing (Which is working now, I believe it was a Permission Error).

I highly suggest giving SD a try. Worst comes to worst you restore your stock nandroid. If your like me, you'll flash SD and never look back. dancedroid

Couldn't agree more! Once email was up and running, smooth sailing here! I sort of like the font, but I seem to be the minority in that regard. Cant wait to see what changes come down the road!

Donate +1 when i get paid next week btw.

If you leave it on the charger past when it says it is charged, it will go to the 100%

It's not the rom giving everybody false readings of their battery, it's the battery itself.

Lithium-ion batteries have an internal fuel gauge that can become inaccurate over time due to charging the battery over and over before it ever goes dead. So the most basic way to reset the fuel gauge is let it drain completely dead until your phone shuts off, then recharge it completely full without taking it off the charger and TADA your fuel gauge is accurate.
The only reason everyone is noticing their fuel gauge out of calibration all of a sudden, is because this rom is set to read the fuel gauge in 1 percent increments, when before it was set to 10/5 percent increments which I'm pretty sure it just rounds to the nearest percentage, so nobody would of ever noticed.
So when your phone is fully charged but the gauge says 97, or whatever it may be, is because the battery itself is actually fully charged but the internal fuel gauge is out of calibration.

Hope this helps

Sorry for the newb question but can someone post a few easy to follow steps on how to get the Email restored. I too am seeing the messages come in from my corp server but I cannot access them. I also cant figure out what to install from RootzWiki. It looks like a full rom and I don't want to install over Steel Droid.
Thanks for the help

1) Obtain the Deodexed install from RootzWiki. Link in OP.
2) Extract the zip file (I downloaded mine to the PC and unzipped it there).
3) Open the extracted folder, then navigate to /system/app.
4) Locate the BlurEmail.apk file (not to be confused with blur_email.apk) and copy it.
5) Paste the file to the SD card or internal storage.
6) Using a file explorer (such as Root Explorer),copy the file from where you put it and paste to the /system/app directory (you may need to mount as RW first).
7) Set the permissions to rw-r--r-- by long-pressing and selecting "Permissions" (this is if you use Root Explorer, other programs may vary). Make sure owner has Read and Write, while Group and Others have Read only.
8) Reboot phone, and enjoy!

Edit: alternatively, you can adb push the file to /system/app. Will yield the same result.
