100th Post FTW

that is what u meant by gapps correct?

 

[BigRick]

Yeah Google apps. I flash thru recovery. I don't like rom manager because it uses clockworkmod recovery. I use AmonRa but I don't think that's available on Droid. Let us knkw if you have any questions.

CM7 is has now been bumped to Android 2.3.4

 

[Horhay]

I am waiting for a more stable rom before I flash CM7 to my phone.

 

[BigRick]

Cyanogen is on it. ;-)

I should flash latest nightly. Any word on the gps? My gps is still funky.

 

[BigRick]

My GPS works. Its your screen. Scratches getting in way of sensor haha

I know I've been following his Tweets and been keeping up with Android central just in case something new pops up.

My gf had to return her G2X yesterday and the rep at T-Mo told her that the screen issue she encountered is a widespread problem and that a software update is coming to fix the issue.

The screen turns off and you need to do a battery pull (I know ironic I left BB for that). But they are exchanging defective units without any questions so that's good to know.

Anyone know how to get TXT messages to display on the screen? not on the top bar? I downloaded Handcent but it's buggy and it doesn't mark my txt messages as read so I always have a notification.

 

[BigRick]

Keep your eye on XDA for CM7 updates or even the CyanogenMod forums

[Horhay]

My messages only get displayed on the top bar, they never pop on on my screen as a notification.
