Thread: BBCrackmans v7 Findings and Fixes

I had the same issue last week.. Wiping and starting from scratch worked for me

Had a problem and had to restart.
This time found vendor xml and deleted.
Are you guys sure I should not shrink??

The screen is not active, I can not go to any folders. How to fix this?

Do you have a 3rd party theme active? If you do hook your phone back into PC and delete the theme. The .151 files are very picky on what theme they will work with.

Marathon I have shrunk both times (old phone and replacement phone) with no issues

Wiped as well, though honestly I'me truly under the impression it makes little difference with this phone (IMHO). Previous berry's yes! My 8830WE and Curve both really appreciated a wipe.
:ban:
:deal: with the :firedevil:

I'm not quite sure about V7 yet. When I restored my themes the phone basically jammed up. I was using the cyber storm theme. I had to do a battery pull, then remove the app. I love the speed though. seems a little sticky sometimes. I'll have to give it some time. I was running .148 V6 and it was running flawlessly. Not as quick as v7 seems, but more stable. Post back tomorrow with update.

Some storms do ok with shrinking and some are not. If tou want to try it, up to you. I personally tried both ways and non shrink runs better. Also if you shrink to save mb, its not that much (1.7-2.5mb). Good luck

Yes V7 with the .151 files play havoc on a lot of 3rd party themes give the phone time to settle in, and the OS just gets better

.151 in general is not compatible with a lot of themes and its nothing related v7 in particular. I had to give up my favorite theme too

Someones gotta try to keep you from convincing your followersuttahere: to "SHRINK"








.....Don't do it....Don't do it...Don't do it (subliminal message)

Phone boots to the "Media Card Removed/Inserted" prompt and goes no further.
Wiped with JLC, completely uninstalled .148, reinstalled .148, deleted vendor.xml, installed v7, loaded with Apploader - twice, still no luck.

hey guys i installed v7 and i thought that i had added the 90 radio but i didnt, i downloaded and install 90 and 148 - deleted cdma from 148 and copied cdma from 90 and paste. then i deleted 90 and install v7 but now my platform is still showing 4.0.0.181
I have tried swap a radio in the past but it never would work for me

:eek2: Wish I had an answer, but that is about as basic as you can to re-install the build.

Maybe this time run .exe but this time copy java and all alx files, then delete v7 build as well as .148 and re-install .148 and paste what you copied? Really basic.
