I made it into the beta testing but after further reading realizing it would remove root I decided not to download. I get the pop up every hour now telling me to update. Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Not really the best solution but install the webtop hack lol. I have the webtop hack installed and I haven't gotten a single notice after being accepted into the beta program. Also if I go to software update in the system settings I get an error so it seems webtop hack blocks this crap.

The webtop is a seperate addon hack that Ken added into the gingerblur script as an addon for Beta 7.7 (which is what I'm on). To me it's worth having this hack anyways as it saves you the cost of the laptop dock or the multimedia dock and it has prevented me from even being able to be told that there is an OTA for my device.

I'm pretty sure I installed it but its still giving me the same error. Someone told me to download but install, reboot into recovery mode, press the four corners of the exclamation point and press reboot instead of apply sd:cardupdate but that didn't work for me as I am still getting the pop up

Couldn't you just install the update and then flash the retail SBF afterwards getting rid of the OTA and the alerts both at the same time?

If you are already rooted use TiBu to backup all your apps and data. Restore to retail SBF re-root load TiBu again and do a restore.

So I have 2 touchpads and have installed android on 3. One of them however, cwm won't even install anything. Its really weird. I ended up having to uninstall everything android and stick with webos. Any ideas on what to do? Or do I have a hardware issue and just stuck with webos. Not that webos is bad and I mainly use the tablet as an internet device to pull up diagrams and such for working on my cars. But it would be nice to have Android on it. Anyone else run across this issue?
I removed Android from the device.and redid the install via acmeinstaller, and considering I have done it on two other devices with no issues makes me.wonder what happened on this last one. Android was rebooting a lot so I tried a wipe and reinstall the rom but cwm would reboot itself seconds after hitting the rom folder to execute the rom installation.

webosdoctor its only for restoring webos so don't know that it will make much difference. cant give u a link, cause not allowed to but if u take a look on webosbuzz you'll find it all.
before using it, it would be best to remove all preware especially kernels & patches.

Agreed. I only mention this to put it back to stock and thereby eliminating any variables. I find his predicament rather odd so I was just saying he should do that and start from scratch. Then the community might be able to help him a little better.
i know not a lot to go on, hard to throw in something useful.
I see. Well, I installed all the preware and other stuff after the android failure. I figured if I'm stuck with webos I better get it working better. Maybe ill just do a factory reset and try again.

well, i wiped out (at least i think i did) all prior andriod stuff. i did a fresh install, from a different computer and so far i got miui installed. lets hope for the best!
I'm told that being a new os it would be worth a factory reset or reformat of internal drives prior to install of ics.... when the update is finally given to us.... This of course comes at the cost of having to re setup and install all apps etc. A major effort for a phone like mine! Do people think this is necessary or should I just run the update as is?

Still all original so that's probably easiest. Will root after the update. Will being rooted impact on future updates? i.e. will I have to 'unroot' to install future updates?

I always reset. Fresh outta the box, after updates, and sometimes just to start fresh. There are files from post production testing, left overs from previous versions, etc that a factory reset will clear, helping your phone’s functionality. A lot of people never reset anything, and I find them to be the people who complain that their phones don't work most often...
That's just me, though.

Umm... no. That's never been the case with my devices. My Droid X started on Eclair and updated to Froyo then Gingerbread and nothing was wiped. And even on my Acer tablet, updating from Honeycomb to ICS didn't wipe anything... all I had to do was reinstall Flash.

Hmm, right or wrong?
Sent from my XT910 using XDA
So if I get a Maxx this weekend, how would I save root for ICS when the OTA comes out, never needed it before.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW
I think OTA Rootkeeper should do the trick.
First Let me say everything Here is all my personal Opinion and by just rooting phones and installing mod I already sorta voided my warranty. Okay Lets start, A few months when the ICS bug was Hot Like fish grease my phone's USB was corroded and would not charge. I went to a ATT Repair center and Got a new one/refurbish one and I notice that it didn't have much under the battery All it said was the Model number IME barcode and the "MADE IN CHINA" Letters.
I came home and the first thing I did was root install GB custom rom. I decided to wait for CM9 to taste ICS. After it was On nightly I install like any other installation and then move on to AOKP Rom from task, That rom has the feature that lets you change the text where you carrier label is. And I change which was fine. I went back to CM9 and that text Remain there and I did wipe/data like it said in the instructions, When I updated to the latest nightly I use Rom manager and booted into CMW (noob mistake) I wasn't paying attention and I got a soft brick. phone booted and showed SAMSUNG GALAXY SII but then just turn off and on buttons on bottom lit up like when you put your phone into download mode. I pull battery Use method to return to stock/root Using Odin Which if I'm correct it would have increase my counter (Correct me if I'm wrong) phone work Install a kernel with CMW using terminal install CM9 And even when I did those steps the same text That I had use was still There.
I found that very Weird but I still left it I didn't care. When the Leak ATT ICS came out Entropy said something about Bricking your phone something to do with the eMMC chip or whatever, Anyways Fast forward to lastnight/today I wanted to start from scratch and install a Samsung base rom just for giggles. And to my surprise I wipe my SD card and tried to wipe my phone but in the whole process my phone lag and I guess I press the button to wipe so many times I pull battery and guess what happen?... I got a soft brick again, Okay spend 30 mins again to redo my regular soft brick steps and my media scanner, Gallery, Camera didn't work. I then again wipe the phone and loaded semi v16c UCLE5 att update and my phone work again I formatted my sd card and my gallery camera started working again. But again the Carrier text from The very first AOKP rom Was still there in the lock screen.'
I again wipe and soft brick but this time to test out if it really does happen when You wipe from phone. Which it did happen and again repeated my steps. I guess I would like entropy or someone with more knowledge than me help me answer these mind boggling questions.
1. Is it possible my phone is sorta unique of the soft brick/wipe phone routine?
2. I downloaded the app from chain fire that detects if your emmc chip is one of the unlucky ones who have the bug or whatever and I do have the chip
3.How is it possible That the carrier label text is still there after so many wipes and rom flashes
4. I pretty sure I have not done anything to the boot loaders unless the roms I flash has them (which I think they don't)
I hope I explain my situation good. Again this is not a rant or troll or a customer support tread I clearly Understand the dangers of flashing and rooting Thanks for reading
p.s remove the picture because apparently my screenshot is offensive
Well that was a mouthful. LOL.
What are you using to wipe the phone? CWM or Factory data reset in settings?

1. You use rom manager
2. You use the factory reset in settings
3. You pull the battery in the middle of flashes
Why are you using Odin when you have cwm? Are you not making nandroids before flashing? Do you know how to boot to recovery from a boot loop?
I suggest you read a whole lot more about flashing and recovery before you do anymore. Because a lot of what you posted sounds like it could've been avoided had you followed any of the guides.post on xda

I actually didn't know this, I had just never tried using the settings reset. Thanks for the heads up. BTW, does it soft brick even if you don't flash a new ROM? Or only when you change ROMs after doing a settings reset?

When using a custom ROM. If you are using what came with the phone or is updated officially via ATT then you may use it without issue.
OK . First, don't use rom manager. As already stated. And second, make sure to do FULL wipes between flashing different roms. This includes /system, data, cache, dalvik, and running the kernel cleaning script for good measure. That should always leave u with a fresh install.

I have had my X2 for 8 months and had been having problems with several apps force closing and the phone generally lagging quite a bit even using apps like Fast Reboot and Air Droid and task managers to clear the cache. It is still unrooted so I decided to just do a factory reset. After the reset, I have noticed a considerable difference in app loading and performance. It works like it did when it was new.
Any one have any suggestions as possible reasons why this would make it work better. I was simply experimenting with it, and it turned out working to my advantage.
I still have another year left before an upgrade, so I don't plan on rooting it before then. But are there any other things I can do or apps I can use to keep the performance like new without having to do another reset six months down the road.
I really love my X2 but with all of the trouble I had been having with apps and lagging, it was making me consider jumping ship to Apple. I just don't think I could deal with the small screen on an iPhone and the lack of customization.

I really wouldn't try and load a bunch of stuff like you had mentioned. Alot of that is just more memory useage and tasks to run. There really nothing wrong with having all of that. But its still there and still runs a risk of slowing things down a tad. Once in a while, clear your cache files and it really shouldn't give you any trouble.
On the otherhand..... why not root it and open that thing up? There are several stable ROMs like Eclipse and CM7 that will really make your experience with the X2 better. You can 9 times out of 10 always go back to right out of the box so there's no need to worry about messing up something or "loosing your warranty." Root, flash and let her ride!!
it's more like, 99.999999%of time you can go back to stock
just need a decent pc, to run rsd lite or ezsbf, to get back, if you have any problem

Sounds like you didnt install the gapps file along with the ROM. That file contains all the Google stuff including the services to sync with Google. You can find the link to that file in the same CM7 thread.
I did install the gapps and it said it flashed successfully. If it was flashed successfully, should my contacts be available?

If you flashed the ROM and the gapps, it should be fine. Are you sure you downloaded the gingerbread gapps and NOT the ICS or Jelly Bean?
Did you check to see if your contacts outside of Google was there before deleting anything?
You could also sign in to your gmail on a PC and click on contacts. If they are there you should be able to port them over.
