I've also got no caps/fn indicator leds, but otherwise CM7 final is totally kicking ass!! Battery life appears to (so far) be as good or better than stock Sense.

Many, many thanks to Toastcfh and the rest of the team on bringing CM to our Speedy.

During the ClockworkMod Recovery v.3.0.1.4 sparksco, I did the wipe data/factore reset, wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik Cache and wipe battery stats (in this order) prior to installing the CM7 ROM, GAPPS 20110307 forCM7 and the x99 Kernel.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] doratheconquistadora:
Guys, I screwed up my installation :X

This is my first ROM

I've been rooted pretty much since that option was available. I flashed the recovery, and was going through the steps of installing CM7 via the ClockWork method (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Evo_Shift_4G:_Full_Update_Guide)

But I guess I forgot to actually install CM7 and hit Reboot now instead.

Now I have a factory reset phone.

How do I install?

I did do a Titanium backup of everything prior to all of this. How do I quickly reset all my apps and data?

Thank you.

My first ROM, etc etc
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
Turn your phone off, hold the volume down and power to flash into recovery. For the hell of it wipe data and dalvik cache again.

locate the zip on the sd card and flash. Then reboot.

I believe with CM your apps might auto restore. However, if they don't select batch in TB and then batch restore apps. Make sure you uncheck anything that you didn't download. That way you don't end up with any apps from the Stock ROM on your CM.

Hope this helps.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] doratheconquistadora:
I also have the two files on the root of my sd card as mentioned in the second method

When you say zip, do you mean the ClockWork zip or the CM itself?

EDIT: Nevermind, booting into recovery automatically boots into the recovery I flashed for Clockwork.

So, "wipe data/factory reset," "wipe cache partition," and then "install zip from sdcard"
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BrandoKC:
It would be the CM zip. When you go to install zip from the SD card and select your CM zip that is how the ROM is installed.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] doratheconquistadora:
Thanks for all the help.

I have CM7 up and running.

One last thing. How exactly do I restore my apps and data? Boot into ClockWork Recover and do the restore option?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] e240:
Nooooooo! U restore ur apps with titanium backup lol
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] doratheconquistadora:
Ok, but there's no TitaniumBackup on here at the moment and no Market either. So should I download it to my phone via the Market site?

I'm terrible at this, it's all new.

I installed the Google Apps zip via Recovery and I went to Market, said it had Updates available and it started downloading all my programs...

So, should I still do the TitaniumBackup still?

Also, I used My Backup (set to 4am daily) would this recover contacts? That's about my only worry.

"48 apps restored," using MyBackup Root to restore Contacts and etc

Again, thank you everyone :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bobtsunam:
Edit: just saw you already have gapps.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bobtsunam:
If you made a backup with TB, just install it and restore everything

<Blaze One>
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] l2icky:
One of the safest ways to keep your contacts, save them to the SD card. If you have a spare sitting around, save them to that too. This way if google ever messes up or you ever forget your gmail or if for some random ass reason google locks your account for no reason, you will have them. I work for Sprint. I have seen so many things go wrong. I have my contacts saved in 8 different places. Never hurts to export from gmail as a csv file and save on you pc either.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
Okay I dunno if anyone else is having this issue but while the phone is on charge after 8 hours or so its at 99% and for some reason it even loses power on charge I'm down to 96% on charge while using it?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Lancerz:
I read that once the phone charges to 100% it stops charging. So leaving on the charger for 8 hours the phone would hit 100%, discharge to about 95% or so, charge back up etc...

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Kirby Baker:
I've noticed the same thing on my Shift, seems like it goes down to about 92% then starts charging again. I've only noticed this on CM7 though. On MikShift or NFX's rom, I didnt notice it dropping from 100% on the charger. It could have though.

Thanks for the reread I had totally forgot about reading that I woke up kinda grumpy today and wasn't understanding I'm good now
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BiffTirkle:
im having a bit of an issue installing cm7. i downloaded it through rom manager, i wasnt ready to install quite yet so when the option came up to back up and wipe data, i chose backup only thinking i was going to just backup my current rom. i figured that wouldnt take too long, and i could install cm7 later. well, it went straight into installing cm7 and it seems to be stuck on the install screen with the swirling circle.

im running stock sense with an overclock mod (i forget which one).

is there a way i can back out of this? or does the install process take a long time?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
That's the boot animation if it keeps restarting your in a boot loop, but it sounds like rom manager did it all wiped and flashed, so the first boot is going to take a few minutes maybe 5 total then it should be okay
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] MaxCarnage:
If you started the process of installing the ROM and had it backup your existing ROM but didn't select wipe/clear cache then what it did was overwrite your existing ROM with the new one without formatting first. Since you did the right thing and backed up first, though, you should be okay.

Turn off your phone by holding down the power button, then turn it on again while holding the Volume Down key. This should bring you to the bootloader, and from here use the Volume Key to scroll down to RECOVERY and press the Power Key to select.

Now scroll to Wipe Data/Factory Reset and hit Power; this should take a minute or two. Then go to Backup and Restore > Restore and select the backup you did prior to your attempted upgrade; it should be listed by date/time. Confirm this action and the recovery should complete. Then go back to the main Recovery menu and select Reboot System Now and it should boot back into your old ROM with settings restored.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] doratheconquistadora:
Not a bad idea at all. My BackUp Root restored all my contacts. Had a nice list of daily backups to choose from.

Thanks again to everyone for all the help. CM7 is up and running beautifully.

Also, I have very little contacts saved through Google/Gmail

Question: On stock ROM, I was using SetCPU and it did a well enough job keeping my phone alive all day (usually only getting as low as 33%) and now, CM7 has all these built in governors and I really don't know what to choose. Any default suggestions? I'm an average user, wouldn't mind overclocking while charged/charging, underclocking when screen is off and I guess "On Demand" for normal use then? Thanks.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] BiffTirkle:
thank you, i WAS stuck in a boot loop. i had to pull the battery, then boot into the boot loader and wipe data. im glad i have tons of backups, now im setting up cm7. thanks again.

You forgot a very important step..... WIPE WIPE WIPE before you restore please!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Rooster85:
Ooooops 10char
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Rooster85:
IMO the best thing for your battery is to flash x99s kernel after flashing CM7 and use the smartass governor, it makes a default screen off profile so there's no need for setcpu anymore. Yesterday my phone lasted 16 hours and I still had 16% battery left when I put her on charge. That's with somewhat heavy usage at that.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Rooster85:
Unplug the phone when she's sitting at 96% and I guarantee it'll jump to 100%
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
Yeah I seen that I was still in bed when I checked at 6 am with heavy sleep in my eyes lol but I got it I'm shocked with battery so far I might stay I dunno tho just testing this for a friend cause he is to lazy to test or learn to flash his phone
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] doratheconquistadora:
Sounds nice, got a link to the one you're using?

When I searched for it here it said it had issues with CM7 and that Wifi doesn't work?

To flash this, have it on the root of my sdcard, boot into ClockWork Recovery, install then reboot or what more is there to flashing kernels? I'm new to this.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] fifedogg:
Restoring a Nandroid backup basically wipes everything for you already. Correct me if I'm wrong but thats what I thought happened.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
I'm running the 99 kernel with no issues..boot into recovery wipe data/factory restore wipe cache partition go into advanced wipe dalvik, flash rom flash gapps then flash kernel to avoid the wifi soft bootloop just reboot after first boot before using wifi I'm all set up at home with wifi now
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
Never hurts to manually wipe everything, I know some people wipe each 3 times before flashing anything
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] MaxCarnage:
I had a Wipe in there before the restore; do you literally mean wipe three times? What is the purpose of doing that, if I may ask? When I think of a "wipe" all it's really doing is marking that piece of the disk as available to be written over; it's not literally "wiping" anything. Unless I am not understanding how it works here.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:
I fully wipe data cache and dalvik before flashing a new rom so nothing from the previous rom is left over, if you just flash away with no wipes odds are your gonna get a bootloop at somepoint if not Tue first flash. I also wipe cache and dalvik if I want a different kernel or mod just to be sure not to boot loop cause that means start over lol

I've never wiped before a nandroid restore as its already done for you and of the 500 times I've done it I've never had an issue. A nandroid restore does exactly that it restores your cache partition, data, dalvik etc to that of the backup. If it gives your peace of mind to wipe everything before that doesn't hurt anything so feel free.

however, dsp manager has never worked on any build if using bt. any possibility of having this looked into?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] doratheconquistadora:
Thanks I'll do that.

Is there any way to restore my apps/data faster? I did a batch on my apps with Titanium but I had to hit Install/Done for each app in the batch.

Also, I keep hearing everyone saying to do a Nandroid backup. How exactly do I do that? I've been doing my wipes manually and backing up with My Backup and Titanium

One more thing: You're saying to flash ROM -> Gapps -> Kernel

But I'm already running CM7 and flashed Gapps last night (err 4am this morning actually)

Do I have to wipe and flash those two again to flash the kernel or could I just flash the kernel?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] MaxCarnage:
You should be able to flash the kernel without all that; I've done it several times with no adverse affects.

EDIT: He might have posted that order because if you're doing it all from scratch in Recovery you would flash the kernel after the ROM because the ROM will overwrite with its own kernel.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] doratheconquistadora:
Thanks that worked.

Flashed the x99 kernel and the CPU settings are default to Smartass. Anything else I should do with it? (The settings I mean, or does it throttle based on it's state [charging, sleep, etc?])

Also, could someone explain how to Nandroid backup exactly? Thanks.

Hey, I have a small "issue"

With the stock Sense ROM, there would be a small red number above my SMS and Phone on my dock (using LauncherPro Plus) but now they only appear in the status bar :/

SOLVED: Derp, the problem was that the notification for these were unchecked in LauncerPro for some reason.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Nitro2985:
I'm getting some terrible battery life issues. My phone will last all of 4 hours, sitting in my pocket if I'm outside of my apartment's WiFi network. The phone gets hot and burns through 25% of its battery in in 45 minutes to an hour. This is totally unacceptable. I was getting 16 hours or more on my last sense rom.

I wiped dalvic and cache before installing the rom too so there shouldn't be anything left over to cause such a drain.

I am in an area with low signal strength, but its the same area that I was in with my Sense rom before and it had MUCH better battery life than this.

All radios are up to date too.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] MaxCarnage:
You shouldn't have to do anything with the CPU settings; the smartass governor works by itself. You can read more about that in the x99kernel thread in this forum.

A nandroid backup is accomplished through Recovery; you can start it in ROM Manager or in Recovery. It takes a snapshot of your current setup and you can restore that snapshot in Recovery. ROM Manager will prompt you do this anytime you perform a flash.

EDIT: I fear we're taking this thread off-topic; you can find the answer to most of your questions by doing a search in the forum. I don't want to distract from discussions specifically about CM7.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] strapped365:

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] MaxCarnage:

Soooo....the girlfriend just got a shift, and I come from the epic forum so no official cyanogenmod (yet)...as such I'm not so up to snuff on CM, so this is probably a stupid (annoying) question...

I didn't see it in the OP, but is there an issues list for CM7 for the shift? Or can I assume everything is working (including 4g)?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] riggsandroid:
most everything is working - some minor hiccups here or there. A great place to check for this would be the Unofficial Nightly Thread (in General section of the Shift forums) or the Bug Tracker on CM's website.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] deezndc:
Nandroid, nandroid, nandroid

I cant stress enough the importance of backups. For instance, I've flashed CM7 10 times in the last 4 days, not because something is wrong with the ROM. Every time I try to flash something or try an app I keep forgetting to make a backup.

With that said, I've learned my lesson and this post should help remind me.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] jesusice:
Can someone else verify this problem for me, please?

When YouTube is in the foreground (ya know? Using it.) and I lock my phone the music keeps playing (which is freaking awesome) but I then can't unlock the phone. Capacitive keys come on like they should but screen never does. It doesn't make a difference if I wait 5 seconds or more between lock button presses or not. As long as the video is playing I cannot unlock my phone.

When the video stops playing I can then unlock the phone but not too quickly. Gotta wait 5 seconds in between lock button presses. Like if I lock it I can't immediatly unlock it while YouTube is in the foreground.

And I mean the YouTube app and I'm on CM 7.0.0 (wiped beforehand) and have pattern lock enabled.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Lancerz:
Yeah that happened to me with RC1, but I accidentally hit the power button while watching a youtube video. But theres no reason to purposely lock the phone while watching a youtube video though so thats nothing that would bother me lol.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] iczerjones:
You mentioned wiping dalvik and cache, but what about /system and /data? If you didn't I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND fully wiping and then reapplying the CM7 package, then GAPPS, then check the phone to see if this problem persists. If it's all good, then go ahead with a custom kernel if you so desire.

For reference, I'm getting the same outstanding battery life (or better) that I was on Sense. (though I've only been on CM7 since final's release) 7:30AM - 6PM = 75% remaining. Stock kernel, 245/1017MHz, interactive governor, JIT enabled, 32m heap. 3G / Wifi auto by location.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Lancerz:
I must say those are some awesome numbers, i'm going to try out the interactive governor and see how it goes.
