A slightly offtopic question but since I wanna go full wipe at the next rom version, which is the best way to do so?

Something like this:

1) backup existing apps and system data (just in case) on 3.3.0

2) go to recovery, wipe, flash 3.3.1 or whatever is the next version

3) boot, flash remaining mods, reboot

4) download and install titanium backup

5) restore all user apps and their data ***

5a) will restoring system data give me any problems?

(stocks f/c, weather sound f/c, wrong WiFi indicator etc?)

6) wait until all of my 350 apps are restored

(grab a coffee, take a nap, go skiing for the weekend etc)

7) ...profit? :D

*** Just wanna be clear on #5 since a couple of times when switching ROMS (different ones, i.e. from Virtuous to LeeDroid) recovering apps with their data with titanium gave me problems. For example, even though I had set Titanium to restore apps on their original location (most of them at SD), many apps were restored to internal memory, causing the batch restore to halt and forcing me to move every app one by one to SD.

I also lost all market links, market doctor did nothing and I had to create newer backups for each and every app in order to make them appear on market.

Have you guys faced anything similar while restoring apps to newer versions of the same base rom?

I understand that in my case those issues probably (duuh) appeared due to the roms working differently from each other as far as app2sd goes, I'm asking just to be sure about it. I ended up restoring for hours back then, not sure I wanna go through the same process again :eek:
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
I have a problem free ROM and the differences in the way I did it are:

* I let the ROM settle for some time before installing the mods so the cache etc. can be built without interruption.

4- Titanium Backup is already included in the ROM, so no need for this step.

5- I restored some user applications+data this time and had no problems but definitely stay away from restoring any system apps and data.

* I also installed the mod that removes transparency and the button is now centered correctly :)

I don't and never have used app2sd maybe that's why I'm having less problems than some others.
[Desire HD Android Development] akpe:
Thanks neighbor :D

I was referring to the android built-in move-to-sd feature, not a2sd+, but its quite possible my last restore went postal due to huge differences in roms :)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
i contradict you here: after flashing a mod/theme you have/should wipe cache anyway ;)

so no need to let it build up if you formate it afterwards anyway.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
i did and had no issues. did you uploaded also com.htc.resources.apk (or similar), i mean the third file uot requests?
[Desire HD Android Development] AiKoiN:
I'm back to 3.2.1 and 3.1.8 BFS and Sense 3.0 with rosie V4

with 3.3.0 HTC error's on de 3d weather widget and the 3d clock with weather.

how to force the error: (when entering standby mode have the wheater of clock widget on the screen)

- press the on off button 1 time (standby mode)

- press the on off button 1 time (lock screen)

- unlock

- there is the error.

yes, i did a clean install as always.
[Desire HD Android Development] Cetax:
Hi,

Thx for your help.Now, I am flashing

;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Lord_Schrotty:
how did you flash the rom?
[Desire HD Android Development] cooltide:
When restoring the system apps/settings with TB you want to keep away from the red-colored ones. Uncheck all, scroll through the list and checkmark only the green colored apps/settings (contact list, sms messages, BT settings, etc.). This is my procedure for a full wipe and it works flawlessy.
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
The way I see it, applications that need a huge storage space already have a built-in mechanism to store their data on the SD card so I just install everything in the device memory. There is so much memory in DHD that I've never even come close to being concerned about space :)

έχετε μια καλημέρα :)
[Desire HD Android Development] akpe:
Thanks mate. Was wondering if it would be safe to restore contacts/calendar/sms data :)

Heheh trust me, there's no such thing as much memory on my DHD. I use it a lot on my free time, 350+ apps, my .android_secure folder on my sd is around 1.39gb :eek:

I'll just set up Titanium to restore to the original location and see how it goes :D

iyi geceler :)
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
I tried twice, the first time I didn't upload that huge file, takes more than an hour to upload. Also it was not required in previous ROMs if you are only cooking a battery mod.

The second time I used Lee's 3.3.0 ROM from the list of available ROMs in the kitchen and still got the same error.

Did you change any settings in the kitchen? I just leave them at their default values.
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
You may have a point there since you delete the cache anyway. The reason I do this is so I can also test things in between so if a problem comes up, I'll know what causes it.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
as far as i know since GB it is allways needed to provide all three files but i admit i never tried to cook battery mod only.

well i changed most stuff:

battery

statusbar

emoticons

popups

fonts

but at the section where you upload your files i think i left it all at default.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
makbil, my fiend ;)

were you one of those who tried my setcpu settings? if so i would be curious about your experience. otherwise mind to try them for a day? as you are a reliable tester i would apreciate this.
[Desire HD Android Development] dugsoft:
what settings do i type in to try this :D
[Desire HD Android Development] dugsoft:
Hay Lee you heard any news on the Evo 3D??

my contract is up way hay :p:p and don't see the point in getting a sensation as my dhd with your help is nearly as good.

whats your thoughts on this??

should i wait and hold out for a month or 2??
[Desire HD Android Development] mobilkungen78:
I flashed without wipe from 3.2.1 to 3.3.0
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
there is a revioew of the evo3d on android police. well i was a bit disapointed.

although you didn't asked me allow me to express my opinion: i'll keep my dhd at least till the generation of tegra 3 apears (which does not mean that i jump on the tegra train).

currently there is nothing what my dhd can't handle so i do not see a reason to "upgrade". i mean i even play tegra 2 games flawless.
[Desire HD Android Development] mobilkungen78:
I only have 1.2ghz highest and 245mhz lowest no profile what so ever...
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
If you are cooking a battery mod only, the 3rd file is not needed. I've done it many times on Lee's previous GB ROMs. I'm also trying by uploading all 3 files, let's see how that will turn out.

No, I haven't tried it yet. Let me get a few more things done then I will give it a go before installing any Sense 3 stuff.

Same argument I'm using for not getting a Sensation yet :)
[Desire HD Android Development] DanteGR:
I am always restoring missing apps+data from TB after a fresh install (following a full wipe) of any rom and then manually restoring green items in TB like wifi APs, bluetooth pairings etc and this has worked flawlessly until now :)

On another note is anyone using the new RIL 0160 (3rd June) from the 2.50 base with 26.09 recommended radio? I think it helps a bit with battery...

But I am still on Lee's 3.2.1
[Desire HD Android Development] dugsoft:
so what do i type into setcpu?
[Desire HD Android Development] DanteGR:
245 min and 1.266 max on the main screen mate.

Don't touch anything else ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
good point about sense 3 stuff.... i also installed it late (last night). and i am not sure but it seems having sense 3 installed drains my battery faster on standby ALTHOUGH i do not discover any significant changes in the currentwidget log.

well, i am not sure. hope i find time to tests this right.

it would hurt to leave my r2d2 lockring that spokamiester made (it was my idea :D ).
[Desire HD Android Development] dugsoft:
deffo smoothass as mine was set on smartass??

giving it a go :p:D
[Desire HD Android Development] DanteGR:
Yeah smoothass mate!

Forgot to mention that :D
[Desire HD Android Development] dugsoft:
all opinions welcome :p

tell it like it is lol

don't see the point of wasting my upgrade like you said dhd + Leedroid is doing it for us :p
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
This is how I plan to do the test (at night):

I will do 4 tests, (1) Stock Leedroid ROM, (2) Your settings in (1), (3) Sense 3 stuff installed on 3.3.0 (4) Your settings in (3)

I will record battery consumption for 1 hour, starting 30 minutes after I turn off the screen. It's going to take some time as I can only do this at night. During the day I will try to see if I can notice any difference in normal usage with the 4 situations I have listed - but that will not really be scientific but my perception of the device :)

I'm willing to sacrifice some battery for my hybrid Stargate ring :D
[Desire HD Android Development] winwintoto1234:
I always do these without problem:

3) boot, reboot

4) titanium backup pro

5) restore all user apps and their data (yes, in my case, with data)

5a) only restore some system data like bluetooth settings, wifi settings...etc. Those shown in GREEN in Titanium Backup should be safe to restore.
[Desire HD Android Development] dugsoft:
couple of tests in quadrant

yes i know what people say about quadrant

4 tests for each setting

smootass 1266

all around 1342

smartass 1036 as lee put it on my phone

all around 1690

smartass 1266

all around 2170
[Desire HD Android Development] DanteGR:
Is this considered good battery life people?

This is with display on 1 hour, wifi 4:30 hours, 10 mins of phone calls, about 5 sms, a bit of whatsapp and about 15 mins of browsing.

Rest of the time mobile data was on (auto gsm/3g), 2 mail accounts syncing every 2 hours, whatsapp on, google contacts and calendar syncing, FB syncing every hour and weather also every hour. Auto brightness on.

I guess that's it.

Well? :)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
hehe...

well my settings do not make any difference on standby. they are made to reduce battery consumption during usage (not during full cpu load usage like demanding games).

the idea is that it reduces the time your cpu runs on max or high frequencies although it is not needed. this can be easaly verified e.g. with setcpu itself:

on the info tab there you find time states. you can see there how many time the cpu was at each freuqncy (shown in % and in absolute values).

this values get reseted after each reboot. that my values dramatically reduces usage of high frequencies is already proven. i am more interested of how it feels with this settings, if it is as smooth as with your default settings.

but if you wan't to compare yourself just note the usage of the freuqncies steps after 24h of a normal day (start with a reboot to reset them) and then repeat it with my settings. an hour is far to less time to compare this.
[Desire HD Android Development] adkz:
Guys, I was wondering why does the Battery history crash when I try to open up in Spare Parts? plus I notice a white bar at the bottom of the screen. :confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] whitesnake:
it's a GB known problem
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
I understand. I will read your previous posts carefully before starting the test - I admit, I just browsed through them ;)

So I still have 4 tests to do but it will be easier to do them. One question: is there a way to account for signal fluctuations or is it even relevant? 3G has a big effect if the signal gets weak and it may alter the results.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
new to gnigerbread? ;)

spare parts never worked with gingerbread (regarding battery history). and the white bar at the buttom is where spare parts usually shows its ads.
[Desire HD Android Development] adkz:
Arh.. no fix yet for it? :(

ba nvm then.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
not that i know of.

but regarding my stuff... here are my settings again. not much to know about in fact. if there is something more just pm me. also if you need explenations on what exactly they do or why i set them so.

governor ondemand and keep default speeds (245-1036)

advanced settings:

20000

80

1

330

what is this ???

FlyIn animations with Hybrid % Battery (FTP)

i don't get it.

is it necessary at all?
[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
FlyIn animations are an alternative animation and transition style. Check it out here. It's not necessary at all.

Hybrid battery is just a mod where while charging your phone, the battery icon alternates between the battery level and the charging icon.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
uhh just saw your post while searching for something....

well i am still on my ondemand. i tried your new smoothass for a while after first flashing the rom and i confirm it is much better then previously but still worse than ondemand with my settings.

your smoothass now indeed does not usse max speed so mich anymore but instead it uses 800mhz now very often. my ondemand has 500 around 25% and 600 around 5-10% and then max speed between 5 and 8%. and they are both smooth.

but with your smartass/smoothass you get far better quadrant scores ;)

but i think you found good settings now. the above mentioned difference shouldn't make a big battery difference in practice. but to be sure aboutt his i didn't tested your new smoothass much enough.
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
Regarding my problem with UOT kitchen, this time I uploaded all 3 files and it worked. Choosing the ROM from the list gave me problems, so if anyone is having problems I just wanted to give a heads up.
[Desire HD Android Development] cornz0r:
I just flashed 3.3.0 over 3.2.1 and while everything seems to work great my wifi signal is @ 0bars now. I still have access to internet and it seems quite fast so maybe it's just an optical bug. Is there any way to check how strong my signal really is?
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
yes, it is only a cosmetic thing. wifi analyzer from market shows you your signal strength and other things. very nice app.
[Desire HD Android Development] dugsoft:
just been reading that not as good as i thought :(

wait and see mr Lee's thoughts and see what phone he gets lol :p:p:D
[Desire HD Android Development] mossywell:
@Lee, you still have duplicate entries for ro.ril items in build.prop. Can I suggest you remove the second lot?

EDIT: or the first lot. Don't care which as I use my own settings anyway. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] COOLBGT:
I just noticed today that I am getting FC everytime I try to check my call log with the new ROM. Definately was not there the other day with the old one. Anybody else has this one.
[Desire HD Android Development] combat goofwing:
so still on leedroid 3.2 going to try this oneso do i need a full wipe

and as i have been away for a few days and cant read through about 20 pages are there any major issue with this rom
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
Weather FC

I may have been in error when I said I have everything working.

As soon as the sun disappeared and the moon with clouds showed up, weather started to FC on me. As usual, disabling the sounds fixes this.
[Desire HD Android Development] dannyling:
Thanks cool Rom lee
[Desire HD Android Development] Spyr0s:
Sound never worked for me so i always have it disabled plus that i find it annoying.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
what issues? fc with weather is solved by disabling sounds in its options.

and what issues do you have with internet downloads? first time i hear about this here.
[Desire HD Android Development] dannyling:
Cool will try later
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
sorry to say, but all you tell is not a rom issue. all this has been explained and discussed about 100 times during the last 30 pages.

p.s. and the newest kernel is already in the rom. downloading issues are due to lees ftp being in trouble with too many requests. comon, juding internet speed by a sole test on a single site that obviously is under fire becaue of all people trying to download new rom?

if you are too lazy then do a full wipe! and when you intend to install sense 3 stuff remember what you have to do about wiping data of several apps.

p.p.s rom is fine. it has no major issues! o maor issues are known, no issues are confirmed. there are actually only 2 minor known issues with this rom.
[Desire HD Android Development] dannyling:
There is nothing wrong with this Rom but two issues ,yes I know
[Desire HD Android Development] TAGTRAUM:
I've downloaded on 3.3.0 502MB by tTorrent today.....no probs so far....absolutely brilliant, Lee....FC w/Weather solved by sounds off))

Just heard about a 7.9 earthquake in New Zealand. If there is anyone from that area here, I hope everyone is well. I know all too well about earthquakes, it's never a good experience.
[Desire HD Android Development] Retinar:
No problem here with my Inspire - but i always start with FULL_Ext4 wipe prior of flashing the ROM, just to avoid future "surprises".
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
ok. i try to repeat the known solutions to your issues as they are fixable:

1. if your weather crashes, so you even cannot enter options do disable soumd, if remember right it should be enough to deleate data of weather app and any app that has weather within, also the weather provider thing.

i know for sure that i remember others having this issue on previous roms and it was solved. but i am not 100% sure if i remember the solutuion right.

EDIT: IMPORTANT: disable syncing weather data in settings -> accounts ->weather before you try the above solution!

2. the brightness being wrong when activating screen... well this happens with any rom version since gingerbread. sometimes more often sometimes less. i observe this on every single rom till now (on all sense roms i tested)!

though this is something that is easy workaround: shut screen off and on again and all is fine again. it happens rarely and it also happens on 3.2.1. if you never observed it than you just had luck. regarding this issue there is no difference between 3.2.1 and 3.3.0 and any other previous version.

i do not want to convince you tos witch to 3.3.0 as i don't care what rom you are using, but there are no issues on 3.3.0 that you don't have on 3.2.1 ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
shortly after my birth i was in a 8.0 earthquake. ;)

i remember what my mom told me about that.
[Desire HD Android Development] Neropren:
Hey guys, hey Lee, I don't know if someone else reported that and I don't want to check every page for any post that includes these report so I'm sorry if I repeat any report.

I really like Lees ROMs but with 3.3.0 I'm experiencing some WiFi issues. My WiFi connection is nearly at 0. Can someone else agree with that or am I the only one who has WiFi connectivity problems? I switched back to 3.2.1 now and everything is fine again.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
how do you know your wifi connection is at 0? do you judge by your wifi icon in the status bar? if so than let me tell you it is only the symbol. your wifi connection is as fine as it previously was.

guys, NEVER trust the wifi icon!!!!!

use something that shows you your connection strength in DB, like wifi analyzer (available for free in the market).

p.s. and yes this has been reported and answered about 137 times... +-60 :P
[Desire HD Android Development] Neropren:
Sorry then. :P

And yes my symbol shows my that I've no signal. But my browsing speed decreases too a bit. Not so much but still a bit. And why shouldn't we trust our symbol? It's there to show us the strenght of our signal. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] LandUzu:
You,mate are very welcome!!:rolleyes:
[Desire HD Android Development] Spyr0s:
The real signal is in wifi settings

The status bar show only one bar (white dot) but Wifi Settings show 3~4 bars, Speed 65Mbps, Signal Good.

Quick question, does anyone think the new ROM is better than 3.2.1

Only noticed a user saying his battery had improved(kennel or ROM?) didn't see any other comments citing improvements?
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
short answer: because 4 avaiable bars cover a long range of signal strength. how they cover it can be done in many different ways. one is the apple way of tricking you to believe you have a wonderfull signal although you don't.

long answer: if you check singal with wifi analyzer you will discover that acutally the max signal you can have with wifi is far better than you probably will ever have during your usage. so actually the number of bars you currently see are CORRECT!

this ofcourse means that till now you have been lied with a wifi symbol that allways showed a better singal that you allweays had.

though, such a low signal is still enough for wifi to operate at desired speeds.

if i go with my phone directly to my wifi router at close range i will see in wifi analyzer only 80% at best. guess what? it is because my router and most routers are set to 80% power at default. as soon as you move away signal strength drops very fast. and this is normal.
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
yup, i also do not remember anyone saying that the new rom is better (ecept me). many say its about the same, but not better. am also keen on hearing others on that.
[Desire HD Android Development] mwilky:
Id say its better for me, the dialer drain issue has been fixed for me in this build so its perfect for me :)
[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
I would say it's worse... but only because im still experiencing the lag. Other than that it's hard to see what HTC changed in the new base.
[Desire HD Android Development] makbil:
Short answer: 3.3.0 fixed a problem I had with wi-fi connection to my router. As for battery, I see less spikes and more values in the range of 3-5 mA, so I think there is battery improvement as well but as I said before, it's best to wait for a day before making a final decision.
[Desire HD Android Development] Spyr0s:
+1

I think that the new RIL makes a difference
[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
This is strange. I mentioned a few times how rosie lags with the latest version, but i just tried launcherpro again, and now its buttery smooth. On previous Rom versions it lagged. Everything is reversed lol.

Interesting to see if people agree with you.

[Desire HD Android Development] SupremeBeaver:
Worth a try, but I have a feeling its the Rom at fault.
