Remember, it's important when switching builds, to change the default.txt appropriately.

It's hard to believe and I never would've thought it would happen, but us vogue users have not one, but THREE stable builds of Android to chose from for our phones; so experiment carefully!

thanks, ima try that out real quick. i'll let you guys know what happed.

Does this mean that this build will work the the zImage-gpu (around 4/25 or something) on Martin's site? Some other Sprint users and I have had way better performance with that kernel. There's something about the new ones that bogs the phone down after a day or so of use.Hope we get this worked out as I'd like to stay up with the latest developments.

Yes, it should work with the zImage-gpu

But I think that vibrate was still broken in zImage-gpu, so ymmv.

The reason the phone is bogging down is due to memory usage being high, I'm looking into that in between my real work this morning.

Awesome. I'll stick with this kernel then. the vibrate issue is much more critical as it will completely drain a battery in a short period if you forget to disable vibrate notifications.

Performance seems to come back after a while if you let the phone sit. I am assuming that Android finally closes them,freeing up memory. I've been looking for an "app manager" of sorts to kill apps on demand. Anyone know of any on the market?

Firstly set max app processes to 3 or 4. that will close the oldest app after 3 are opened. That helps lots.

mssmison's solution is what helped the most for me. I set it to 3 and it stays pretty snappy. There's also a "close everything" app in the market place that helps a bit.

I can't get data working on this thing. I downloaded a 1.1 build, copied fresh files onto my SD card (all of them), booted into 1.1, set up my APN, got a data connection, successfully signed into Google services, rebooted, and then I copied the default.txt, zImage, initrd.gz, and system.img contained here, booted up Android again, and tried to connect. No luck for me.

I've found the ion builds, both vilord's and mine don't work the first time on data. after rebooting it works for me everytime.

I still can't get Ion or DZO's newest version to run but TheDude's will. Not sure what to do.

My first post about togga was for v1.1 trying to login to google on my data file so I could try running Ion.
