[RELEASE] Steel Droid: 5.0 Gingerbread - 1-11-2013

[VincentDHam]

any ideas as to why my phone won't show up in rsdlite? i followed the steps so far, and my phone says usb connected, and the computer recognizes it, but i won't show up in rsdlite. do i need some other kind of drivers for this to work? chevy didn't say anything about in the directions. thanks in advance for your help!

Go to settings > applications > development > and make sure usb debugging is checked.

Has anyone noticed any difference in battery usage with Steel Droid 2.0, charge meter bugs notwithstanding?

you mean it dies faster?

make sure you have the right and most current drivers. i had to update mine and then it worked great

You should make a topic about this in the Steel Droid Section, so it doesn't get lost in this thread.

Done and done. Here's a link, even though its identical to what I posted above How to add stock email support to Steel Droid 2.0.

Well, yes. A whole lot faster.

I've had no issues with battery, I get through all day about 40-50% still left. I have the extended battery though. Maybe I'll boot up the Standard Battery tomorrow and give it a run.

alrighty, just got it installed. looks great! love the black status bar and the new charging animation! any chance of getting a stock gingerbread theme? without the blur-y stuff?

I mean browsing for an hour via wifi takes me from 100% to 60%, where with stock it would take me to 80%. That's a big show-stopper for me. Drain is normal if the phone is just sitting around, even if it's not sleeping, but as soon as I use it, it just burns through the battery.

I txt all day, browse the web over 3G and usual teenager/college student things. I'll do a full charge and clear battery stats and get back to you tomorrow. My stats will be skewed though b/c I'll be at work and it's a major deadzone.

I had a similar issue and read somewhere that you need to unselect then reselect the usb debugging option after rebooting...anyone know if that is actually true or why this fixes it?

I do know that doing this fixes the lack of adb connectivity 100% of the time without changing from mass storage mode for me.
