[ROM] [ROM] SHIFT3R 2.3.1 TPaX (11/06/2011)

[Tepes]

So did DT update the 2.1 upload?...I've had his Full 2.1 base but wondering if he made changes and uploaded a newer zip?

Apparently there is some difference between the 2.0 base and the 2.1 update. When I originally loaded 2.1 there was some conflict between that and your 2.0 theme that made the text and other things disappear. I reloaded your 2.0 theme over 2.1 update and everything returned but the power menu. I asked DT about it and he said it must have fried something in the framework. When you released it for 2.1 I tried again. 2.0 with your theme>2.1 update>same missing text>upload your 2.1 theme update, everything is good but the power menu is still gone and it fastboots.
Also, I'm using the Shifter 2.1 (Blurry) update, not the 2.1 base since I was already running 2.0

If you mean this menu I'm not sure why that would be for you...full wipe of data, cahe dalvik, and format/system before installing the SHIFT3R base??

Yep, that's it. Was hoping to avoid a full wipe since that was the beauty of the update. I guess the beauty of your theme comes at a cost... which I'm happy to pay

If you were installing one of his Pakx over 2.0, then you actually were updating to his 2.1 system.....which begs to ask why the full base of 2.1 needs to wipe everything if on 2.0 if the pakx do not?????

That also leads me to another Q....after installing the 5.6.893 or 5.7.893 OTA and then installing SHIFT3Rv2.1, the system reverts back to 5.5.893...Why's that??? Also...it still reads as 2.0 PBX under build...

If the theme has the Android.policy.jar and or services.jar pull them before you flash it. Services.jar has all the power menu stuff

I think the full base is for folks making the leap from stock or another rom whereas the pakx are simply updating 2.0 and putting in the elements needed to expidite further updates. As for the drop back to 5.5.893, I believe it just reads as that since that is what this rom is built with elements of.

Loving this ROM, but I am having an issue that I assume is related to blur and not the ROM itself..

My contacts app keeps FC on me, can't edit a single contact or change contact display settings without a FC. I have done some reading and am under the impression that the Yahoo! Contacts app can cause this to happen if it is frozen.. However I don't believe it is frozen, at least I haven't done it. Maybe it's disabled somehow? It's in the list for TB backup/restore.

Anyone else have this issue? I had it when I was on stock ROM as well.

Anyone still having major problems with the data connections handing off between WiFi, 3G/4G and phone networks? Today I had several problems when going back and forth between Wifi and 3G. I just lost all data connection and nothing except a full power off and boot would fix it. Reboot, starting and stopping the radios did nothing. Any ideas? Thanks.

Also, I've tried the fix taking the SIM card out, powering phone on, powering off, putting SIM back in etc.

Is the base rom gonna change I read there is gonna be a new base if so if I downloaded the base when updaste comes I would have to wipe everything correct? So it would be best to wait for new base

 

[bigtex52]

Yep.

Re: contacts force closing.. it was the yahoo! Authenticator for me (shows up in list just under yahoo contacts in tibu)

Others have also suggested uninstalling ics version of google+ fixed it... I still have yahoo contacts frozen and ice google + but no more force close ... hope this helps..

If that were true then installing my theme for v2.0 over v2.1 base would basically leave it identical to having v2.0 ROM with my theme??... I'm about to just stay with the stock OTA 5.6.893, deodex it, and build a BionicBlu theme off that ROM, because the camera seems to work better... well atleast until what ever needs to be updated in SHIFT3Rv2.1 gets finished and the ROM is updated...

That's because the shifter system is built on the 5.5.893 update. Your kernel and radio are still upgraded to the latest update you've installed however since once updated theres no reverting back because the bootloader is locked. Id imagine though if the rom system is built on an on older version of the kernel it can't utilize the new upgrades that come with latest OTA which gives the incentive to rebuild roms on the latest OTA. Correct me if im wrong. Im speculating.

I'm assuming you are running this ROM as well?

So... would that mean that your yahoo! apps were frozen beforehand? Mine aren't.. was kind of hoping the authenticator would be, after I read your response.

EDIT: Turns out it was the ICS Google+ I had installed... go figure!

Thanks for the tip bud!
