[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
yes, you just select backup and it backs itself up.

If you would like to restore, then you do a full wipe, go to backup and restore, select restore and choose which backup you would like to restore

no, nothing is deleted until you flash

to flash a ROM, like I said in the guide:

when you select that option, it will take you into a menu with everything in your sd-card, you just have to find where you put the ROM you want, and select it with the trackpad, it will flash itself, then reboot.

This will work on your phone. I'm 110% Sure http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/htc-desire-cdma
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxdesire5044XXX:
so i back up my phone before i flash and after the flash do i restore to get everything back to how it was but with the new rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
nonnoo you don't restore after flashing.. When you flash a different ROM, you flash a completely different version of Android, that developers have changed/modded. You perform a backup in order to be able to go BACK to your old ROM, if you don't like your new one, or if something goes wrong with it. You only restore when you want to go back to your previous ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxdesire5044XXX:
is there a way to copy all my messages and apps and stuff like that?

i know some roms dont come with the google apps how do i get those?

what is the best rom out of those three? there any pics of how they look?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
very right I almost forgot about the google apps.

cyanogenmod doesn't come with them, download this and flash it in the same way you would the ROM (WITHOUT WIPING ANYTHING!!) http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps

You can usually find screenshots of most ROMs.. so it's just about doing some research.

and you can use an app called sms backup+ from the market.

I'd suggest backing up your contacts too! or moving them to the sim card

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TripleTapper:
After the Touchwiz update, my bookmarks disappeared and it doesn't look like Google sync is working. Any ideas how to get this to work or some alternative way to syndrome my Google Bookmarks?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] CrazyCoder:
Try to clear data/cache for the Browser and Google Bookmarks Sync applications, then set up the sync again in the browser settings.

I still have a problem that not all bookmakrs/folders are synced and sometimes I even get FC errors with NPE in the bookmarks synchronization adapter.

Must be some bookmark that triggers it, but had no chance to isolate it yet.

UPDATE: just checked again and all the bookmarks seem to be in sync now, but the layout of folders has changed, it now starts with:

/Google Chrome/Bookmarks/..., then I can see all my bookmarks from the browser, before all the bookmarks and folders were just in the root folder.

Just found that it was already answered at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204048.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TripleTapper:
Thanks for the heads up. I had replied on that thread earlier and it got moved and I couldn't find it.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thorstenhirsch:
Hi,

hdmi audio+video works with the "tv out" widget, but i don't want hdmi video. I want to use hdmi for audio only. So what are my options? I've seen, there are 3 devices on my archos:

0: internal

1: ?

2: hdmi

3: fm radio

Looks like device 0 is the default audio device. But how can I change that? I tried the following:

rm /dev/snd/pcmC0*
rm /dev/snd/pcmC1*
mv /dev/snd/pcmC2D0c /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c
mv /dev/snd/pcmC2D0p /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p

result: internal speaker doesn't work anymore, but neither does hdmi (when tv-out is disabled); i can still turn on tv-out with full functional hdmi.

I think a way might be to change /init.rc, because the audio devices are being created there (mknod). But although I installed root/rw kernel+initramfs (works!), I cannot permanently change /init.rc, because it comes from a squashfs image (over /dev/loop0). I could make changes to init.rc, but after rebooting they were gone. So is there any way to make permanent changes to /init.rc?

Any other ideas?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thorstenhirsch:
I also tried editing /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf like that:

defaults.ctl.card 2
defaults.pcm.card 2
...

So basically I changed all the 4 or 5 default.*.card settings from 0 to 2. But that had no effect at all. :(

Oh ! a modaco man on xda,welcome.

[Blade Android Development] copas2:
I don't really know why CM7 struggles with its own kernel. Wbaw said in some earlier posts on Modaco that this leaked kernel is way more buggy than the one used in CM7. I regularly switch to CM7 because of its features and to see the innovations in Android. But I always keep coming back to ROMs based on stock kernels because the CM7 kernel simply sucks. I use my Blade for more than half a year now and CM7 always disappoints me. These kernels are far better than the one CM7 is using, that's my own experience by using each ROM for a week or two. The best would be to mix all the good working stuff of the available ROMs into one.

Thanks to wbaw for joining xda. Great efforts!

guys, i used to own a blade, enjoy the best rom there is, and also give wbaw all the support he deserves, actually all devs deserve.

@wbaw

I found you ! .. keep up the great work man !

after my posting at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1163609&page=3

it may not surpise you that I may try the b19, and that I just used your 'donate' link.

cheers mate.

btw,

just noticed that b19 is an all-in-one ... will it go on ok considering I already have clockwork installed ?
[Blade Android Development] wbaw:
The all in one 'TPT' version is only for users with 'Gen1' phones which were sold with Android 2.1 (Eclair) who haven't updated to 'Gen2' radio firmware yet. It updates the radio firmware, installs the rom & the latest clockworkmod all in one. Because it is flashing the low level radio firmware & loaders there is a very small risk involved ... but it's the safest & easiest way to get to Gen2, it'll work even on an unrooted Gen1 phone. If you use the TPT version then follow the instructions carefully & I'm not responsible if you break your phone.

The all in one TPT version wont work on phones that were sold with Android 2.2 (Froyo) or officially updated to Froyo. Those phones are already 'Gen2', so they don't need any radio firmware updates, so they should just use the standard clockworkmod .zip file to install the rom.

If you used a previous version, then you've already got the Gen2 radio firmware you need for the rom. So you should install the standard clockworkmod version which is linked at the top of the post. There is absolutely no risk of permanently damaging your phone with clockworkmod.
[Blade Android Development] Carlos_Manuel:
HI!

Is this good ROM?

Does all work fine?

Is the Battery life good?

Does all works?

I maybe tested this ROM once really fast but it was older version!

:)
[Blade Android Development] will8578:
yes, yes, yes, yes easy
[Blade Android Development] Carlos_Manuel:
Hey wbaw !

I just flashed this ROM and it is good but how many % it is completed?

and can you fix Estonian language? it works but: [settings --> applications] not work :/ maybe it need other Estonian language files to framework-res.apk ..?
[Blade Android Development] Graviticvortex:
I can confirm that com.android.settins force closes every time when i select any item under Settins>Applications when language is set to Estonian.

When language is set to English everything works fine.

I wonder were Estonian translation comes from anyway, since its only half translated and as far as i know it is not in stock Android 2.3.4 nor in CM7.

BTW any changelog from b17 to b19?

Thanks for a very nice ROM!
[Blade Android Development] Carlos_Manuel:
Almost all ROMs which have Estonian language but it's not Estonian ROM them not work fine!

some apps not work and some settings an other not work!

If anyone can find any Estonian Gingerbread 2.3 ROM then the language can be added to framework-res.apk and then it needs to work!

Peaaegu kõik ROMid millel on Eesti keel aga pole Eesti ROM nendes ei tõõta kõik siis hästi!

mõned programit ei tõõta ja mõned seadused ei tõõta..

Kui keegi leiab Eesti GingerBread 2.3 ROMi siis selle keele saab lisada: framework-res.apk ja siis peaks tõõtama hästi!

Sorry for bad English and sorry if I wrote something wrong to Estonian..

I live in Finland so I don't remember really fine how to write in Estonian and my English is not really good yet! :D

EDIT: If anybody can tell me how I can edit/fix language then plz. tell me! and what name Estonian language using in framework-res.apk ?
[Blade Android Development] wbaw:
The Estonion language files were taken from CM7, that has much more complete language support.
[Blade Android Development] Carlos_Manuel:
OK :)

but it needs little bit editing or then need adding from other ROM the Estonian language..

when I have free time for ZTE then I can try to search better Estonian language to GingerBread!
[Blade Android Development] wbaw:
CM7 is Gingerbread & it does fully support Estonian as well as many other languages.
[Blade Android Development] ultra_nomical:
Is anybody having trouble updating the launcher pro home launcher..???
[Blade Android Development] Carlos_Manuel:

I will try to search official normal cra# 2.2 ROM back!

I cant use ROM which not work fully!

I don't even have time for ZTE because I edit ROMs for JetDroid and here finland schools starts again soon (only 7 days I have free time..) and then I don't have time to search or edit ROMs...

music player error in GSF ROM on my blade II

This is really good ROM but I have music player problem!

maybe my Blade II (White) from TeliaSonera is not compatible with this ROM?

here is video the problem on GSF! [YOUTUBE]LKATdx0JfNo[/YOUTUBE]

I cant use other music players too!

So now I use CM 7 nightly 165 and all works, but how the music player not work for me on GSF and others can use it without crashes/errors/*

[Blade Android Development] Carlos_Manuel:
Thank You Wbaw!

now Music Player works (b21)

Thank you really much!

I will edit some files!

and then it is better! :)

EDIT: wbaw: Can you make next beta much better with some more tweaks on build.prop ex: stragefright...=true and edit some files, fimg files to play games much better! and add 3D modules if ZTE Blade can use some modules.. :)

and: try to get Dolby/? sounds files from ZTE Skate monte carlo/* ROM?

and if you need something to init.rc/init.local.rc then you can ask for me because I have many init.rc files from Samsung/HTC Vogue/*

and can you add Chainfire 3D to /system/app/ ? it is for 1 GHz devies but it's worked on CM 7 nightly 165 (overlocked to 710 MHz) and gangstar game was little bit better!

+ can you overlock it to 694/710 MHz <--- then it is better!

:)
[Blade Android Development] Carlos_Manuel:
Hey wbaw: I Just installed Gangstar MV (2) to your GSF B21 and I am speechless it works so fine much better than in CM nightly!

I do not know how you can be so good to make good ROMS! xD So click thanks button to Thank You!

Good job! (Y)

I have edited ROMs only to my Samsung Jét which don't have official android!

and I never edited ROMs for Blade because I cant unpack boot.img

:cool:

EDIT: can you add apps2sd files from CM7? becaus eicant move apps to sd and then I don't have free memory! :/

EDIT2: Can you add other video coding files and media support files to get HD videos to work? 720P
[Blade Android Development] k0zmic:
A2SD works automatically if you have an EXT Partition on your SD Card.

Do 720p videos work with Moboplayer or similar? If not I'd suspect they're just intense for the Blade to handle.
[Blade Android Development] Carlos_Manuel:
I didn't format nothing... So my SD card is maybe FAT32/FAT and in CM7 I can move almost all apps to SD card without formatting SD card!

I do not use these players because I like Android video player!

I think that the HD videos can work if replacing media.profiles.xml or something like that on /system/etc/
[Blade Android Development] k0zmic:
Oh, I see. What happens when you try move an app to the SD?

No, I think that's just for video recording. Not playback.
[Blade Android Development] Carlos_Manuel:
ok! :)

/system/lib/ folder have some libmp4* or something like that files and them can be good from CM7/other ROM which can show HD videos!

GSF: have apps2sd files but I cant move apps so does GSF have apps2sd text on init.rc? :D

Nb: I downloaded Asphalt 6 3.#.... and now it is downloading data so I think that this ROM can RUN Asphalt 6 if build.prop is edited with HTC device text...

I even not overlocked my Blade yet! :D

but I use my JetDroid SD HC card so now I cant edit ROMs for JetDroid.. :/

EDIT: Asphalt 6 Not Work! :/ and this ROM needs 3D drivers to show videos on games and gameloft logo then maybe Asphalt 6 works too...?

and I cant overlock this ROM :'(

[Blade Android Development] dirlan2001:
Hi,

I did that the day I got my brandnew San Francisco with the GSF b19 TPT rom. One week later I tried the eliterom r7, and I'm still on it :)

And you need to unlock it BEFORE doing anything with any ROM ...

:D

Dirk
[Blade Android Development] k0zmic:
It seems very safe, there have been a small amount of people who 'bricked' but I think most, if not nearly all managed to revive their phones, usually by re-running the TPT. It's far better than the other option which is the unreliable and brick prone Windows flasher.

Just read the instructions carefully, search the thread on MoDaCo if you need more info: http://android.modaco.com/topic/337798-gen1-to-gen2-tpt-upgrade/

If you do 'brick' then there's a good guide here: http://android.modaco.com/topic/343587-guide-de-bricking-a-zte-blade/

I unlocked it before installing a custom ROM and it works great.
[Blade Android Development] roy8846:
