[Q] Two quick questions about upgrading ROMS

Hey folks!
A friend gave me a hand getting DamageControl 3.5 on my EVO and I love it. I've been told that 3.6 has some new features so I'm going to upgrade to 3.6. I love all the info that's on this forum, but I've got a couple noob-ish questions, I'm afraid:
Somebody mentioned flashing radios/firmwares, where can I find those? Do I really need them?
Evidently in 3.6 there's new battery-saving features. Should I turn off SetCPU now? Are the two features mutually exclusive?
I like the idea of JuiceDefender, but how does the data-limiting feature work? If I launch the email app, will it turn on data or do I have to wait? Will I still get text messages if data is off?
Hmm, I suppose 3 questions
Thanks for your time!
EDIT: Hmmm, I appear to be in the wrong forum. My mistake... if a mod can fix that would be nice.

Unless you're have horrible signal, chances are you're fine the way it is. I believe there's a thread someone in this board (i think i saw it in the past few days) that was keeping track of the current radios, etc. I personally haven't upgraded my radios since i got mine in July.
Evidently in 3.6 there's new battery-saving features. Should I turn off SetCPU now? Are the two features mutually exclusive?
I haven't checked in on DC in awhile, but see if it says anything in the OP. If it's using Calkin's or Myn's ( i forget who ported it ) SetCPU will probably interfere & do more harm than good.
I like the idea of JuiceDefender, but how does the data-limiting feature work? If I launch the email app, will it turn on data or do I have to wait? Will I still get text messages if data is off?
Never used Defender, but i believe it changes how frequently data is poll-ed for. I would think if you choose to manually search for mail it will turn data back on for you. You will still get texts, but i believe MMS won't automatically be downloaded

Thanks for the quick response! I don't care about MMS, I don't think I've ever had a picture/etc sent to me via text in my life.
How do I tell if I'm using a port? I just grabbed the one off the android store.

[REQ] step's to change a Notification bar quick toggle

Note that I'm asking for general steps. Doesn't have to be exactly for my peronal use.
*mystery where are you?!*
Sent from my Epix 4G using XDA

Mystery or one of the other devs already explained that it is just too much work to modify it. Wait for Cyanogenmod if you want the feature badly.

Well,
Think it's better to bump this thread rather than writing a new one...
I'm looking for the same thing and many Samsung users seem to have the same questions. In my country I have no WiMAX, so I want to change the button so it toggles data completely.
If someone had at least a clue where this is configured, I would be glad to take a look into my rooted Epic and see if I can do it at least manually, would be the first step.

Really? Cause Maddoggin is working on it and apparently has it just about finished for his gingerbread mod. A lot of work? Maybe. Too much work? Guess that depends how much you want it.

It's suppose to be almost the same work as porting the puzzle lock.If anyone can we know Maddaggin will and could.

Well,
As far as I had checked the posts, I had no clue of someone doing it already. I see two parts that can be time consuming: finding what to change and getting proper icons so it looks seamless.
I will be checking out more often to see if there's a solution. I just don't need the 4G toggle at all, so it's much better if I can replace it with something else...

[Q] odexed blue by strogsteve....what am I missing

I have the latest build of Strongsteve's odexed blue which is a wonderful ROM. I am very happy with it and the continuous developer improvements are as awesome as the ROM itself. But.....I am missing something and for the life of me I can't figure this out. Maybe someone out there has seen this before and could offer some advice.
I don't have the 5 dock icon on my homepage. All I can get is 4 dock icons. Is there some trick to generate that 5th dock spot?
Secondly, how do I get the tethering to work. Do I need another app to unlock this feature?
Thanks for any insight you might be able to provide on these two issues

While in the app drawer, hit menu softkey then edit and drag an icon into the dock and you are good. As far as tethering, you use the Sprint Hotspot app. You wont get charged for it

Thanks very much. Sometimes the solutions are just too simple. Seems like I am always expecting a complex solution that I somehow missed.

LED color/blink interval and SMS

I know it's been touched on here and there (I.E.), but I haven't found a dedicated thread to it, and I know I'm definitely not the only one who is plagued by the annoyance. It seems like some have been able to get around the issue with the international version of the phone, but the North American version appears to be quite the hurdle. Either that, or the devs for all our favorite SMS apps aren't from the good ol' US of A, and don't really care about that feature. Either way, It's annoying to have cutting-edge technology in the palm of my hand without any reliable and simple means to have something other than a solid red LED regardless of the notification it represents. On the thread linked above, I noted that some were able to get a blinking notification, I've had no such luck. Perhaps they weren't rooted. I do recall the day I got my phone, before anything had been modified whatsoever, that the LED would flash blue, but once I got GoSMS Pro installed, it changed my SMS to solid red, and has been such ever since. Nothing at all that I have tried will change it.
TLDR: Has anyone found a way to stay on a custom ROM and/or launcher, AND set different color LED for notifications (as well as blink intervals) within the realm of SMS?

I thought about doing CM9, but last I read it doesn't look to be a finished product? I kept up with the thread on it for a bit after its release, and it seemed there were still bugs.

Awesome, I will flash it tonight, and play around with it.
Still curious if anyone has found a workaround on any TW-based ROMs :good:

Lightflow seems to be actively trying to work on the problem.

[Q] Jedi X - ROM toolbox pro and statusbar icons - problem

So I was running Jedi XX ROM, great ROM btw. Upgraded the ROM toolbox that came with it to the pro version cause I like to burn nickles and dimes on Android apps. Anyway I decided to customize my statusbar icons, started off with new symbols for battery, wifi, signal, etc. Went fine until I updated my status bar color, then multiple service would stop working including superuser. Did the reboot as required and ended up constantly getting the notorious unfortunately, android keyboard has stopped error. tried to troubleshoot for a few minutes but decided I would just upgrade to the newer version of Jedi X, was going to upgrade this coming weekend anyhow. So installing the new ROM went fine, decided to try the statusbar change again and basically get the same issue although it has not effected my android keyboard (probably because I am using the stock samsung keyboard now) but it did however wipe out all my google accounts forcing me to re-enter them.
Anyone else have this issue, should I just abandon trying to modify the statusbar itself.

You can see what I am running from my sig. I tried to change a few icons and it cleared my accounts like you. I do not have the keyboard issue though. If you can't solve this problem, you can still play around with the boot animations if you have not already. Some are pretty funny.

Just edit them yourself with gimp or Photoshop.
