USB storage problem

[Mike3.8]

Just flashed Decks 1.2 ROM along with Tiamat 2.1.5 kernel. for some reason when I connect the USB cord it only charges and will not allow me to use USB storage. Any ideas as to why not? It worked with CM7 and Warm 2.2 so there shouldn't be a reason for it not to work now.

Download the kernel manager app and try the godmode kernel it should work. If not try the savaged-zen cfs kernel and if it works but you don't like the idea of having SBC send me a pm and ill give you a link to a flashable zip that disables it

Thanks for the info. It's going to have to wait until I home later tonight though. Apparently I can only download apps over wi-fi and not 3G. I'm hoping it's just a kernel issue because I'm loving this ROM.

Just flashed the Savaged-Zen kernel and now its working like a charm. You sir are a genius.

No problem like i said tell me if you don't want the SBC in the kernel because some people aren't comfortable using it thinking it will toast their battery...

Brief description of SBC please? I don't know all that much about kernels. All I know is that it's supposed to help my battery life. It's been off the charger for 15 hours now and only down to 65% with me texting all day so I would say it's doing its job.

sbc will help you a lot with battery life it increases the batt life.

I use sbc with no problem. But 8 people have reported tht their battery has been fryed becuz of sbc (they have no proof but their word)

 

[jadden]

by the way decks rom with sz kernel sbc with viperboys scripts is amazin batt life

Ok thats another new one. What exactly are scripts? Forgive me for all the questions, I know how to root and flash ROMs but I never really got around to the nitty gritty until just recently.

Just google "kernel starter guide xda" that decribes everything you need to know (i also think its stickied in the development forum). And a script long story short is a line of code that when entered into the terminal emulator app will change how you phone does a certain thing(depends what that line was meant to do such as undervolting to save battery)

I'll go check that out, thanks. Still having a problem downloading apps from the market over 3G though. I can download all day long over wi-fi with no problems so I dont get it. When I click install the download progress bar comes up and the icon appears in my notification bar but when it's done the app isn't installed.

Nevermind, I found the fix. Installed S2E and everything is all better.
