[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
I moved VTL to system apps with root explorer and fixed permissions. Once I did that I have not experienced this problem again.

Also, does anyone experience this while only having one launcher installed? It might not have been just moving VTL to system apps it could have been deletion of the stock launcher as well. Could be that multiple launchers are causing the .XML file to be reset.

Just a thought.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Yeah, it might be a File Manager thing. I rarely use any of them so I can't say if it's case here for sure. Try this:

That is (roughly) how the output should look. Verify that /data/system has the same owner and group and the same permissions. The same for the files inside /data/system. If you ran the fix_permissions command in my previous post (or used CWM to do it), it would have set the permissions to what you see above (roughly that is--it sets some idiotic permissions to a lot of the files for no good reason).

If you don't want/like to use the command line, then Root Explorer is what's usually suggested.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarheelGrad1998:
Ah, I downloaded Terminal Emulator, and I can see the file there. Though, I can't copy it, due to permissions.

Shame that it appears Titanium Media sync can't see the file.

Anyway, thanks for the help. I'm still a newb.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
You will need the Superuser app from Market, too, if you don't already have it.

$ su [I] Become superuser[/I].
# cat /data/system/appwidgets.xml [I]Check the file first.[/I]
# cp /data/system/appwidgets.xml /mnt/sdcard/.

Check the size of the appwidgets.xml file and its contents first before you save it. If the file is a lot smaller than ~1000 bytes, or, if its contents, as displayed by the cat command, seems suspiciously thin, or, look like binary junk, then you have a problem file and you shouldn't copy it. To restore the file (you must have busybox installed--use something like Busybox Installer from Market):

$ su
# install -o 1000 -g 1000 -m 600 /mnt/sdcard/tmp/appwidgets.xml /data/system/appwidgets.xml

Here's my appwidgets.xml file:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
I'm on ADW Ex and I uninstalled the free ADW that comes with CM7, so I only have one launcher and I'm still getting the problem occasionally, so I don't think it's caused by having multiple launchers installed. That could be causing it too, but if so, it's not the only cause. I'll try moving it to /system/app, then fix permissions and see if that fixes it. It might take a while to find out, though, since the problem occurs so sporadically. Thanks for the tip!

Just in case people would like to try this, but don't know how to do it:

1) Get Root Explorer, it's well worth the money; you need a file manager that can browse all the root folders and change permissions. I use it all the time to do this sort of thing. (You can also do this using ADB, but that's more complicated)

2) Open Root Explorer and navigate to /data/app and locate the apk of the launcher you're using (I'm on ADW Ex, so mine was "org.adwfreak.launcher-1.apk"). Long press the file and select "Move".

3) Navigate to /system/app. Press the "Mount R/W" button in the upper left corner then hit "Paste".

4) Fix Permissions. You can do this in a terminal app (I used Terminal Emulator, which comes with CM7) or you can reboot into clockwork mod and do it from there. If you're doing it with a terminal app, the code is:

$ su

# /system/bin/fix_permissions

(the $ and # are added automatically)

You're done and this problem is hopefully fixed (fingers crossed). Thanks Mantara!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
I just booted up my gtab and all the widgets said "Problem Loading Widget", so I guess moving the launcher to /system/app doesn't fix the problem (at least for me on ADW Ex). Oh well, it was a good idea.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
Sorry to hear that. I have not had it happen with vtl launcher since I did this. I was actually wondering the other day if you had got this sorted out.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
Thanks! It's not a big deal. It only happens once in a while and it only takes a minute or two to remove and replace all the widgets, so it's really only a minor inconvenience. I'm sure the issue will be resolved when I flash a newer version of CM7 or switch to one of the HC ROMs.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarheelGrad1998:
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of doing that, but it sounds not worth it.

I haven't had it happen again since doing the fix permissions. But like you, I'm not convinced yet. Sometimes it goes weeks. I had it happen every couple of days when I started this thread.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aisPanais:
"Fix permissions" fixed it for some of my widgets. A couple of them though, still showed "Problem loading gadget".

Here's what I did:

I rebooted in recovery, cleared cache and dalvik cache, I ran "Fix permissions", then rebooted, re-created widgets on the workspaces, and then rebooted again to test. It was ok. I'll re-create the couple of widgets that did not load, and go over it again.

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

I did it again. One of the two widgets that were still not loading loaded this time. So did the ones that loaded successfully the previous time. The other one though, disappeared completely.

I guess I have no choice but to go over it again...

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masters2150:
First, sorry if this has been asked, I actually did try to find the answer on my own but no I cant seem to find it.

1st: Should I upgrade to 2.2?

2nd: Are Froyo and MIUI roms similar or is one better than the other?

3rd: Are there any limitations? Such as something not working yet? Or have most major bugs been fixed?

4th: It's obvious this voids the warranty, if I need to send this thing in for repair, can the original OS be put back on?

From what I've heard 2.2 is alot better, and would most likely be welcomed, I just need my questions answered so I don't screw myself over before I do this.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
1: its really up to you.

2: Regular froyo looks like stock android, miui looks more like an iphone rom. The speed and performance of the rom depends on how the Creator of the rom optimized it.

3: most things are working on most roms. On some, certain features like wifi, or GPS doesn't work, but those are mostly the roms that are in beta. I have yet to find any custom rom with a FULLY working camera.......

4: yes it can. You coould use pc companion, or SEUS, flashtool, and there's even a method to get back to stock with out using usb(if the ports broken or something...)

I switched to miui(based on froyo) because most other roms seemed kinda the same to me. Just remember to read the instructions before flashing a new rom, and check that you have the right baseband.

Happy flashing :P
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masters2150:
Well the MIUI looks good.

Is there anything besides the camera that I should know about?

Also when you say not fully working camera, what do you mean?

Also my baseband says 2.1.55, so I'm assuming when someone asks for my baseband it's 55? So I need to find a rom that supports baseband 55 right?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
On trips miui 1.5.5 which I am using, its smooth and fast, everything works except the camera (zoom + light not working). Its recommend to use baseband 61 or higher for best results, however I have heard of problems with 61 (but they were probably false) so I am using baseband 54, and everything seems to work. Not sure how 55 would work (and yes your baseband is 55) but you can try it, or you can flash a new baseband via flashtool.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masters2150:
I looked on the forum and people were saying Cobrato's rom was pretty good.

But on the instructions to install it, it's just saying flash this flash that.

Is there a guide that actually tells you what to do?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
Do you have xrecovery? That is very useful for flashing roms and such (but not basebands)

Once you have xrecovery, simply copy all of those files to you sd card, reboot, tap the back button when Sony Ericsson appears on the screen, backup, full wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe battery stats, flash the zip files in the order they recomend (you will need to flash the baseband patch) ect ....

To get it, there is a thread in the Dev section where you can download install xrecovery. EDIT: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859571

If you need any specific help with xrecovery, just ask :)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:

I tried that thing you said, pushing the back button when I see SE, but it didn't do anything.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
Hmm it can be a bit trickey sometimes... just try again. Power off/hold down power button till it vibrates/as soon as Sony Ericsson appears on the screen repeatedly tap the back button (with the arrow) until you get to the xrecovery screen. Goodluck
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masters2150:
Still nothing.

Going to try downloading flashtool, says if I reinstall xrecovery from it I can boot directly into it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
That was my next suggestion... once your in flashtool, connect your phone then Ask Root Perms then press the xrecovery button and it should install it. Then you can press advanced>xrecovery>reboot into xrecovery or use the back button method.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masters2150:
It says it requires baseband 58, it includes the file in that post.

Do I NEED to do it?

I haven't done this kind of thing before, does altering the baseband cause any problems with my carrier or network connection? Or does it just make it better?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
Its HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you flash the baseband, because otherwise it might result in constant forcecloses or reboots, or it might fail to boot at all. you could try with your current baseband (55?), but theres no guarantees.

it is fairly safe and easy to flash a baseband with flashtool, and i can talk you through the whole process of flashing baseband/rom if you wish.

EDIT: i'll admit it was quite scary flashing a baseband for the first time, but it worked without problems and now im quite confident. in the off chance something does go wrong, you can always use pc companion to get back to stock.

EDIT2: Normally, using the baseband that the rom recommends increases signal strength and reliability. using the wrong baseband can result in no signal.

EDIT3: looking around on the thread, the rom developer says that the rom works with basebands 55 and upwards, with 58 recomended. assuming your using an x10a, so you coould try it without flashing the new baseband and it *should* work
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masters2150:
Based on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002836

It doesn't mention WHEN to alter the baseband, should it be done prior to changing the OS?

And is it done the same as anything else? Just selecting a custom zip?

also I already selected the backup option in xrecovery. Does this backup only files and apps, or the whole OS, firmware, baseband and such that if I restore, it restores the phone completely to before I messed up?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
it backs up everything exept the baseband. what i did was change baseband then rom. the baseband is done via flashtool. in your case you may not even need to change the baseband (read my last EDIT^^^)

you can restore the backup only if you have the same baseband as when you made it
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masters2150:
I downloaded the files, but where should they be? in the root / or /sdcard?

I wish I'd known flashing the baseband also deleted everything.....

Edit: Nevermind, I remembered I backed everything up, so just had to restore. And it still has the 58 baseband.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frosty666:
That's strange.....

It shouldn't have.....

I'm using that rom now, and its pretty good, however the default launcher is not so great. Maybe go for something like adw launcher or launcher pro.

As for the files, for organisation purposes it have the files in /sdcard/xrecovery/roms /xat_cm6froyo/ but it doesn't really matter where you put them on the SD card just as long as you remember where.

Edit: yes restoring in xrecovery does not touch the baseband. Also, do you have phone signal?

And it might be a good idea to back up all you apps with titanium backup from the market.

So here I am in the uk been a little annoyed that google chose only to do the trial in the usa. When I happened upon a link to sign up to the beta via some american proxy. This was only a day after the google io conference. I've heard nothing about it since until today when I got an email inviting me to the beta. And wow it works, and works well even here in the uk. Its not at all fast to upload your songs and I haven't dug too deep into the options yet but it works pretty cool. You can even play your music from any pc via a browser and I've added my google account to my wifes phone and that too is synching our music collection.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fofusion:
Hi everyone,

Was wondering if anyone was having problems with the following setup:

- Desire HD running Android Revolution HD 5.1.7 (will update later)

- T-Mobile

- 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 Radio

Since flashing this radio/upgrading to this version of the Revolution HD rom about 10 days ago I've noticed a huge performance boost from the battery. However I think the radio is causing problems as I'm unable to send/receive MMS messages or have any 3G/HSDPA signal..

I've been over in Canada and noticed I was unable to get 3G speeds and was always stuck on Edge. I put this down to being in another country and Fido said I had the European version of the phone which wasn't compatible with their data network. I was a bit surprised because I figured the phone was compatible with all frequencies (as covered on the Tech Specs page of htc.com)but I'm not sure whether that lists the frequencies for say the "European" version of the phone *and* the "North American" version of the phone..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSLEnterprises:
HSPA Frequencies in Europe (PCS): 900 / 2100

HSPA Frequencies in North America (PCS): 850 / 1900

The Telus DHD and Inspire 4G are the exact same device internally, the only difference is the "AT&T" in chrome on the metal housing rather than "HTC" on it for the Inspire 4G.

Every other DHD will not support north american bands, thats why you're limited to EDGE, since its the highest GSM gets (which supports the north american frequencies since that radio controller is quadband)

Not only that, but apn settings need to be entered for any data to work correctly (even if the frequencies are supported)

The general HTC Webpage shows the European/Asian frequency support of the phone, unless you choose a north american portal (US/Can)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fofusion:
Thanks for the response.

..Just realised I forgot to finish the post! (I'm blaming Jetlag).

..Anyway I got back to the UK on Thursday and have been unable to get 3G/MMS since I returned. I've walked all around the city today and at no point have I got anything other than Edge or GPRS coverage.

I've checked all the APN settings etc and all is fine.
