[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
That would be a negative. Flash the King's Format all zip FIRST, and then flash the rom. If you flashed the Format all.zip immediately after flashing a rom, you would just completely wipe out that rom that you had just flashed! And you'd probably be stuck on the htc evo screen if you tried to boot. So, flash format all, flash rom. Then boot up. Then back to recovery. wipe cache+dalvik cache. Flash kernel. reboot.

and I also agree that Amon Ra is a more reliable recovery to use. The simplest way to switch to Amon Ra is by using ROM Manager. In rom manager, first select 'flash clockworkmod recovery'. Then when that completes, scroll down and select 'flash alternate recovery'. That will flash Amon Ra for ya. I still use the older (1.8.0) version of Amon Ra, because I've seen no reason to update. I have never had a failed flash, a problem creating or restoring a backup, or any other crazy types of things. It just works, so I never updated it. I started out on clockwork, because I used Unrevoked to root. I was left with a lot of bootloops trying to flash any of netarchy's kernels, or his old Burnt Droid rom. I switched to Amon, and have never had a bootloop since (unless I did something stupid messing around with framework)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
DAMN CLOCKWORK. I already knew that the calkulin one wouldnt work if you were on the newest clockwork, but I could've sworn that someone told me that the king's format all was edify scripted so you could use clockwork to flash it. I dont know, because I use Amon, which supports amend and edify scripting. I would just switch to Amon Ra, and you won't have to worry about if the dang file is Amend or Edify.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] culua:
I have ra 2.2.2 its already on the Rom manager is it ok to use?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Yes, rom manager states it as 2.2.2 for some reason, but I'm 99.9% sure you'll actually end up with 2.3. Either way, it's fine, go ahead give that a shot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] culua:
Ok I'm going give it try but.do I still need to use those format all?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lcorona056248:
rom manger is for clockwold right??? if it was me i would would just do amona cause it does the wipe perfectly
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Technically, no you do not really need to use the format all. It is not a requirement, by any means. I simply like them, because I think I'm a little OCD, and want to be 100% sure that everything gets wiped, so I get a clean install. Sometimes recovery doesn't wipe everything, and things can possibly get left behind. However, I was flashing for months and months before either of those format all zips were introduced, and I just did all my wiping with Amon Ra recovery, and I never had an issue. But I have always used the format all zip since it's been available. I very seldom have problems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Yes, that is exactly what I was instructing him to do. Use ROM manager to flash over to Amon Ra. Using ROM manager to flash recovery is about the easiest and quickest way to do it.

Edit: and to the OP, just be aware that you cannot use rom manager when you're on Amon Ra recovery. The only thing it's basically good for switching recovery, or maybe downloading a rom. But don't try to use it to flash anything. That all must be done manually in recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lcorona056248:
well i have never used any of the format and never had a problem {knock on wood} just stick what u like best and diagnose from there
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] culua:
this is f@#$@# bull**** maan. i made a backup on amon ra recovery just incase if it didnt work.. and it didnt so i try restore after it was done im stuck on bootloader for long time... so freaking pissed off im staying away from kernels i just stick to whatever kernels it came with the roms.

I FREAKING TURN HTC EVO INTO BRUSH!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Damn, that's quite odd indeed. I have no idea what the problem is. Again, what kernel were you trying to install and on what rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] culua:
i flash cm7 and i try to flash taimat sbc kernel and i also try flash Netarchy Toastmod-4.3 cfs havs more nosbc i came up with all bootloops.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Well first off, I find it very unlikely that a netarchy kernel on CM7 would work to begin with. Bootloops is what I'd expect from that. The Tiamat Kernel should work, unless your phone just doesn't like havs or undervolting, because all of them are pretty aggressively undervolted I believe. There is a thread in the dev section started by ViperBoy, and within that thread you'll find various scripts to reduce or increase the undervolting, for the very reason that you describe. Some phones just can't take the undervolting and it results in a bootloop. You might want to check that thread out. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1028322

FWIW, the stock CM kernel that came with CM7 worked great on my phone, and was snappy and had good battery life. It wouldn't be bad to stay with that kernel for a bit, and see how it runs. You may find that you're satisfied with it's performance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] culua:
but what doesnt make sense that i previously had burnt droid and it came with Netarchy Toastmod-4.3 cfs havs more nosbc kernel and i cant even flash it in different rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] culua:
ops my mistake its netarchy-toastmod kernel revision 4.3.1-cfs-nohavs-nosbc. it gaved me great performance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
It doesn't matter. CM7 is an AOSP rom. Netarchy was designed to run on Sense roms. If I were to attempt flashing any netarchy kernel to a 2.3 GB rom, I would expect bootloops, or horrible performance. I wouldn't even attempt it. For AOSP roms, stick with AOSP kernels, such as Tiamat, Savaged Zen, or CM kernels. Netarchy kernels are great, however only Sense roms. Netarchy and Ziggy are basically the two main options for Sense.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
That's because Burnt Droid is a Sense based rom though. I can't remember if it was senseless, but it was still sense based, I'm sure of it. I remember using 4g on that rom waaaaay before AOSP had 4g, so it wouldn't have been possible for me to use 4g on it if it wasn't sense based. Again, generally Netarchy and Ziggy kernels are teh go to for Sense. Tiamat, Savaged Zen, and CM kernels are used for AOSP.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] culua:
Yes! I finally able to flash kernels. I had unrooted completely turn my phone back to stock and I used a differnt method of rooting. Then I used clockworkmod recovery and used a format.zip to make sure everything wipes right i did it twice to make sure. flash cm7 and Google apps. After that I flash taimat 3.3.8 SBC. Then waited to boot with no problem.

After installing cm7 I didn't clear dlvik or cache it works fine. Before I had this bootloop problem I clear cache and dlvik it keept me in bootloop.

[Captivate General] smanzor88:
Hi guys i was wondering how did you guys do oneclick lagfix on your captivate? TIA
[Captivate General] zelendel:
personally I dont know anyone that still uses the one click lag fix as most roms have the lag fix built into the roms recovery.
[Captivate General] smanzor88:
true. but would it be safe for me to use the one click lag fix from the market? im going to use it on my stock rooted 2.2.

[Captivate General] talbtimber:
Get hardcore's .tar file for stock cappy and flash with odin
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
That would be a mistake, don't do it.
[Captivate General] WickedNite:
They say that the OCLF is not good so I would also say that to you. There's no difference with or without that lagfix. It just uses hack or something to make it look faster on the quadrant test or any other benchmarks.

Captivate, Serendipity, XDA Premium
[Captivate General] smanzor88:
ok thank you for all the responses :)
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
I've used oclf on stock 2.2, and I must say the roms here are MUCH better in terms of performance, and they have built in lagfix through CWM.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
the O in OCLF should stand for OLD...

all the new kernels/roms support real EXT4 support for user and system areas.

real lagfix..

you are already in the right place to find your next steps...
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
First, must current lagfixes are not"hacks". They are a method used to change the stock (samsung) file system, rfs, to a faster file system, ext4. By accessing the file system faster, the phones performance is increased.

Second, QUADRANT BENCHMARK IS USELESS FOR A CAPTIVATE. The method of benchmarking does not accurately measure the performance of the Hummingbird processor (exclusive to Captivate). Honestly, I've never heard of a benchmark that CAN accurately measure this processor.

You can install OCLF on your phone, and your benchmark will be around 1800-1900, but it will still be clunky. Install one of the roms here (im running Continuum and love it) and your phone will be much more responsive, but the quadrant score will probably be around 1500 +/-.

In the end, its up to you. Just do more research before you do anything.
[Captivate General] james.arroyo:
If you must have the stock then i would suggest using [ROM] Cognition 4.3.1 | The Original Captivate Rom

its a really good ROM and extemely fast and light weight, plus its stock-ish if thats what you want.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
It would be safe. Install ext2 tools, then run OCLF.
[Captivate General] c-eling:
installed one click about 2 weeks ago from the market on a stock 2.2,fixed the lag for me,then installed bloat freezer for the att apps,noticed better battery life,I'm taking baby steps before i actually flash cognition,lol,but so far so good with ryans 1 click
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
If you decide to flash a rom later, undo the lagfix AND uninstall ext2 tools first. If you don't, you'll be back here, asking how to unbrick your phone (I've been there).
[Captivate General] smanzor88:
thanks guys for all the responses..as of right now, im holding on to the lagfix and just cruising with the stock rom..prolly gonna flash cognition tonight, seems like stock battery life is draining to fast!
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
Thats better since cognition has the voodoo lagfix built into it, oclf was "good" when it first came out but when proper ext4 lagfixes came out oclf became useless.

Are there any Android apps that provide full compatibility with the Google Contacts manager (eg. support for custom fields, not just custom labels)?

... and I'm not even able to stream my media content through my xbox slim

What is the deal with DLNA and the xbox360.

Has anyone gotten it to connect without using a 3rd party media server like Twonky?
[HTC Inspire 4G] earhog:
Play videos on Xbox 360 (video is stored on phone):

My xbox > windows media center. (it will then require a pc running media center to be on the network and it will connect to the pc).

At this point you should be looking at Windows Media Center on your xbox.

Now on your phone open Connected Media > Video (or other choice) > select the video > Wait for it to find your 360 (this is usually instant, but when I was doing this just now I had to back out of connected media and try again. On the second try it automatically stared to play back on my 360 as it was the only dlna device found.)
[HTC Inspire 4G] shawn1224:
Thanks, I'll try this when I get home
[HTC Inspire 4G] booty hater:
I have. If you go through connected media app and pick what you want to stream it will ask you what player you want to use.Then from xbox go to the appropriate media blade(vid,music,or pics) and it should show up.I will say that I had problems doing it at a friends house and I do have my network setup for media servers(setting up ports) so maybe that could be where to look if you still experience problems.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shawn1224:
I've tried this method numerous times after tampering with different settings and it never shows up. I've gotten Twonky and a few other alternatives to work but the video quality is sub-par.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timhesselmans:
hey guys!

I want to install cyanogen mod 7 on my HTC Desire Z. However, i heard cyanogen mod 7 was based on android 2.3. I'm on 2.2. I'm rooted, but I was wondering if I can just install cyanogen mod 7 on 2.2 or do I have to update and if I have to update, will I have to unroot my device or can I just do it just the way my phone is now?

Thanks,
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
CM7 is a ROM, it'll completely overwright 2.2, which is also a ROM. This would be the same as updating a Windows XP system to Windows 8.

So, the short answer: just install.

If you're unsure how, grab ROM Manager from the Market, with that app you'll first install ClockworkMod Recovery and then install CM7.

And, as always, be sure to do a full backup incase something goes wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timhesselmans:
thanks for your help, but i have another question. When i try to flash cyanogenmod, rom manager asks me to wipe cache and data. What does this do? Does it remove all my messages, whatsapp conversation and contacts? So in other words: what exactly will wiping cache and date delete/remove?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
When coming from a Froyo based ROM to a Gingerbread based ROM you need to do a full wipe which will, in effect, delete everything. Your apps will get redownloaded once you log on as will your contacts (if you have it set to sync) but to keep your messages (I'm assuming you mean SMS/MMS), download SMS Backup and Restore from the Market.

Remember, when you flash CM7, you also need to flash Gapps as Google Apps aren't included.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
Oh, and once you're running CM7, you'll only need to wipe cache/dalvik when upgrading to the next CM7 release.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HLeenders:
Please explain to me the need to do this, I have done about 50 (fifty) upgrades now, and (in between) never wiped cache or dalvik. And everything is working smoothly every time I flash, no problems whatsoever.

@timhesselmans; First read a few pages on this forum about installing a custom rom and the aftereffects it could produce. Always make a nandroid backup and back up your contacts and your messages.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
Well, you're lucky then, as many people do have issues and wiping cache/dalvik fixes those issues; so, its a good habit to just go ahead and wipe those when flashing an update. It doesn't hurt anything, only takes a moment and remedies many of the issues people often run into.
