rubiX Focused 1.9.5

[c1pher]

Cool, thanks! Good to know these things.

I was just trying to mess with the scripts, the one to add the droid eye live wall paper keeps throwing an error for me. I used terminal, and su, the dxeye -rs and get the error
'failed on '/data/rubix/DroidEye.bak' - Cross-device link'

I guess if 1.9.7 is coming out I won't worry about it not really needing the wall paper, I was just trying out some of the scripts.

Just a hunch, the Android 'mv' command doesn't like going from one device(partition) to another. Try doing:

export PATH="/system/xbin:${PATH}"

and then running dxeye -rs. That should cause the commands in dxeye to use the busybox versions if they exist (like 'mv') over the Android versions.

(For what it's worth, I tested this. It should work =P)

Thanks! That did the trick. wow I learn something new every day.

Glad to help =)

Is there a way to change the folder that videos are saved into from the folder that pics are saved into?

First time I've heard of someone having such problems, let alone repeated... :S And I have to say, I track probably 6 different DroidX Forum sites pretty regularly...

Well I have some more info (they really have no options at the VZW store except a replcement - neither of the two stores I went to had a clue how to reload software). I was able to SBF from a different computer with the moto drivers already installed. I used the .340 system only SBF and the phone seems fine.

Because I'm curious about the problem I then re-rooted with z4root, reinstalled bootstrap and reloaded the same Rubix 1.95 non-themed version. I then went back to the market, re-downloaded clockwork and rebooted into clockwork recovery and it was fine. I installed one of the themes to be sure.

At this point I am left with some difficult options for troubleshooting. I've been using Mybackup pro for restoring apps and data (no system info) although I have complete TiBUps as well. I don't know if something in my restoring is causing a problem or if I have a very bizarre app conflict (I have maybe 200 apps but pretty benign stuff). I'm also wondering if a Mybackup restore of the bootstrapper is causing some conflict???

If anyone has some troubleshooting thoughts I'd be happy to try; otherwise I seem to be alone with this bizarre problem and since it has occurred on two phones I'm sure it is somehow software related.

Thanks for everyone's help, especially Seph (it took you almost two hours to respond - I almost called 911 for you - lol).

Did you find out any more on this, I have this same issue, I CANNOT reboot into clockwork recovery at all. If I rerun bootstrap and reboot recovery 99% of the time I get stuck at M logo and have to sbf, when not stuck at logo it just boots into Rubix. I cant do anything with clockwork recovery now, WTH? HELP, ANYBODY!


EDIT: Wait, you may be onto something with the MyBackup Root and Droid X Bootstrap. I uninstalled bootstrap, reinstalled from the APK, bootstrapped recovery, rebooted recovery and VIOLA!!!! You better believe I made a nandroid backup so damn fast, lol! Seems fine now, I made sure to remove droidxbootstrap and rom manager from my backups.

I did the best troubleshooting I could and I believe MyBackup Pro was somehow entangled in this - whether through somehow corrupting a system file or through something more simple like restoring an older bootstrap over a newer one (more likely). I'm glad you got it fixed - it's a little unnerving not getting into CWM - I had trouble getting two of my three computers to recognized the phone to SBF (persistent driver issues) - that's what gave me the largest headache. Now I'm running a themed 1.95 (not gb) and having no issues with CWM.

Funny

Will give it a go / I keep flipping ROMs as often as I change my socks... I have way too many socks too...

My current setup as of today (subject to change)...

Thats interesting that you said that your wife complained about you spending too much time on your droid, so you bought her one. I did the exact same thing. Now she is on the thing more than me.

Just a heads up on this, but recovery can fall off like this, and just need to be reset every so often, and it's not the fault of anything.
I wrote this to help countless others that have had this problem:
Help I've lost ClockWork recovery, my phone just reboots back into android

Restores are also known for corrupting data, either version mismatch, or.. any number of things. It's not uncommon after a restore of data to have FC's in an app (or many), and have to clear cache/data for the app:
Menu> Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> all tab> (your application), Force stop, Clear cache, Clear data...

First time I've heard of MyBackup causing this.. hear about it from Titanium CONSTANTLY...

Anyway, this kind of thing isn't unheard of.. it's actually pretty common.

Has anyone had any issues syncing their contacts with facebook? It seems all of my contacts are linked to their accounts, but only about half of them show profile pics. Any ideas how to fix this?

LOL, as Droid74 pointed out, I would love to answer this one. My answer: read the FAQ for how to fix this

I searched through every single page of the thread after he said you'd covered it already and found your original suggestion. I personally had to uninstall and reinstall the facebook app for it to work properly, but it's all good now! Thanks for the help.

This is probably a stupid question so please forgive me but this is my first custom rom and theme so im still learning. I'm running Rubix 1.9.5 with gingerjuice v5 theme on my DX and I was wondering if I can use set cpu app and overclock my X. I don't know were im getting this crazy idea that I can't overclock when on a custom rom but for some reason im afraid to try it before I ask someone. Thanks for such an awesome ROM and any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks

 

[jsw6380a]

Go for it. No problems. I am running it overclocked to 1.25 ghz with no problems.

Thanks man that's all I needed was someone to give me a push :-D

 

[jsw6380a]

No problem. I am on the same rom with watermark theme. I have gone as high as 1.3 and have been stable at low and medium voltage. 1.35 gets super super laggy.

Just remember if it becomes unstable at your settings just be patient and let it load and go back to your stable settings. DO NOT set at boot until you find a stable setting.

Just clocked it at 1.2 and everythings fine. Im such a scaredy cat! Maybe you could help me with another question. How do I get rid of a theme and apply a new one? Do I just download the new one and reboot and apply it over the one I have or do I have to uninstall my existing theme first? Thanks for your help.

Hey sephtin, think you can advise me in using the wiredtether from the txt file included in the /sdcard/rubix/ folder?

I tried the 3g hotspot and it seemed to work however im.confused as to why there are instructions in the rubix folder that direct a specific method for using it. What's the difference?

Sent from my DROIDX using DroidForums App

those instructions are for WIRED tether (as they say instructionsforwiredtether.txt )

When you connect your phone to pc and open up the usb menu, you'll see "Phone as Modem" option. That's wired tethering.

I actually just tried following the instructions.txt last night.
I input my MDN number + "@vzw3g.com"
Put the PW in
Dialed number: 777

But it doesn't work :[
I get an error saying that the currently modem device is in use.
And I did set it as "Phone as Modem"

I've been trying it a lot but it doesn't seem to work.
I think it's because I'm missing some sort of driver.
But I do have the current motorola drivers installed.
I think I'm missing something here, but don't know what.

EDIT: Oh, and I also tried #777.

You must install it to your sd card and apply from zip in sd card. Just follow the directions of the theme you like.
