Thanks a lot man great work awesome rom

[HTC Inspire 4G] .ilu.:
What about the releases after MR1? Is it still always recommended to do full wipe? Or does it make any big difference between the future releases as you have now reached the milestone level? Dirty flash won't make any troubles?

I know it's a little bit fool to discuss MR2 and so on. As you haven't yet even released MR1. But it would be nice to now is it finally possible to forget the full wipes now.

And for the last, I want to thank you. This is the best ROM what's available for DHD. You have extended my phone's life significantly.

I don't understand why people are so against doing a full wipe. A full wipe prevents a lot of issues and problems after you install the ROM. I'd rather start from a clean slate knowing that it would prevent some issues and bugs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Rapscallion16:
Does MR1 include the latest update for OTA Updater, or are you sticking with the older, modified version?
[HTC Inspire 4G] .ilu.:
First of all. Sorry off topic.

Sorry but you didn't answer to my question.

I do appreciate that people is helping each other and help existz that he doesn't have to answer all the (stupid) questions. Thats's awesome.

But what I don't appreciate, is that some people doesn't read properly the posts where they are replying.

I know my english isn't perfect, but please, read my post again. Actually, only the first phrase and you understand what I asked.

I helped you and quoted it for you:
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
I understand that you're a little frustrated, but the slightly sarcastic attitude doesn't seem all that necessary when someone merely misread your post and replied with only an (obviously attitude-less) link...existz has clearly tried to keep this thread very polite and clean, so let's try to keep it that way.

Anyway, like you said, it's a little too early to discuss post-MR1 releases. existz probably doesn't even know what's in them yet, and their contents will dictate whether a full wipe is recommended.

EDIT: as for the full-wipe-preventing life you've got, at long as no one reports bugs without full-wiping first, it doesn't really matter. To each his/her own.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kBTWOFOUR:
How do you expect people to help you when you have a bad attitude?

Reality check... you're not the only one who is busy with life. I have seen plenty of people on this forum complaining about bugs and issues that nobody else has because they did not do a full wipe and are reporting problems without doing a full wipe and logcat. If you know what you're doing then it should not take you too long to install everything again.

It took me less then 10 mins to go from codefireX JellyBean to a full wipe, install inspiremod, install BR7, and install all my apps and settings. I have over 40+ apps on my phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] .ilu.:
Yeah, I don't wanna **** this great topic. But ok, my post was a little bit too much sarcastic. But there's so much people who don't read properly and that causes real problems.

I don't have a bad attitude. My sarcastic post went a little bit too much sarcastic for your guys taste. Didn't mean to piss off anyone. Sorry. Should have used smilies. ;)

Yeah, I am totally aware of full wipe benefits and so on. And know the problem what you're saying, that's frustrating. But I was only asking (too early), that is a full wipe needed between milestone releases. Not right after BR7. Got it?

But you could admit, that you didn't really read my post when you were already hitting the "post" button. For me this is done. Period. Don't wanna waste this great rom and topic discussion like this. "kBTWOFOUR", if you still have something to add, please contact with me PM.

Chill out people. :cool:
[HTC Inspire 4G] snak3ater:
If its MR1 you talking about then i guess with MR1 being bugless you could try dirty flashing of future releases over it. If you encounter any problems after it, you can always ask over here for its solution.

Ps->I always prefer a full wipe though. It takes just 5-6mins in restoring my Apps, contacts and txt message plus configuring the new Rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] Teichopsia:
You can dirty flash if you like. If bugs appear then follow the procedure to reproduce and report.

MR1 - MR2 full wipe vs. dirty flash has already been addressed by existz so many pages back. In a nutshell, the closer he gets to a final release the less changes there will be between builds, thus - less need to do a full wipe.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mu3g:
Are you using Titanium Backup for your restoration? If yes, will a BR7 TiBkp file work well with restoring all the apps, messages etc. on MR1? Any set of instructions on moving messages, apps etc. for ICS would be great. I've done one for GB before, wasn't great.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
For this release I might just stick with the version already included...I just noticed the changes and don't want to put this release back any further than it already has been. The source still doesnt build inline with the rest of the source, it has to be built with eclipse and I have to set it all back up on my build machine...plus re-add all aospx changes back. So I'll get it included in next release or make it an add on later. But there really isn't that many major changes to the app that would benefit us much...as-is it does what it needs to..so there's no big hurry atm. Most changes are new translations, multi-device support, option to choose where to save the zip..etc..etc.., so nothing really major

As for those asking about future builds and full wipes, honestly it all depends on the changes. Most of the major changes are now finished.. But depending on future changes and future compiler changes, a full wipe might still be needed. Either way, a full wipe will always be recommended for best results until we get to an actual stable 1.0.0 release. But a lot of the changes, rewrites, etc are already done, but its better safe than sorry. I'm hoping by the time I get to a full 1.0.0 release that I'll be able to make updates just an add-on, where the zip only contains the changed files/libs, instead of a full rom.. For example 1.0.1 would have to be flashed over 1.0.0... but that's a long ways from now and I haven't really planned on it, this is just wishful thinking, and might change by the time its released.

But im doing a final clean build of MR1 and then ill get it uploaded shortly. As I mentioned yesterday, a full wipe is recommended, if you dirty flash and then run into ANY issues at all your first step should be to do a full clean wipe, without any data/apps/backups restored/added, make sure the issue happens on a freshly clean install with nothing else installed...then submit the issue along with a logcat log to the Issue Tracker.

Fun Fact #10: MR1 will be the 39th release of aospX since Dec 2011 (AR1-31, BR1-7, MR1)
[HTC Inspire 4G] snak3ater:
Yes i use Titanium backup for Apps,Games and stuff.Been using it since BR4 and onwards till now.No issues at all.It works well.

For messages i use 'sms backup and restore' App..It works well.

If i face an issue with the Rom,i simply search for it here at this thread.If i am the only one facing that problem,i just do a clean install of Rom and check for that issue without restoring Apps from Titanium..

If you have ANY issues, the first step should be to do a full wipe, without any data/apps/backups restored or installed. If the issue continues then please post the issue on the Issue Tracker along with proper debug logs.

Thanks for the update Existz,

You could argue that an MR release isn't even necessary, just go straight to v 1.0. It's that good.

I dont even knoe what the changelog says but hot damn thats a big change!

OTA updater push notification worked fine for me (MR1), But I've had issues to download the update OTA (maybe it's ISP relevant); So I downloaded it from google code's server. Do I need any wipe in case just wanna an update not a clean install? would be any issues there?

hi existz,

tried your Br7 rom a couple of days back. i think it's not needed to say that it is a great rom, very stable etc.

i now tried the new MR1. first impression was slightly better. but i observed a drawback: flash movies playing within a browser are horrible slow (most and most of the time). i remember them playing more or less fluently on br7. not yet tested any movie playing within a movie player app.

can anybody confirm this? (of course use some higher quality movies to test).

I must say this is truly the smoothest rom I ever had. I m stuck between smoothest aospx or latest jellytime.

Btw, I think the GPS is not locking on fast enuf, how do I test it? I saw some users can tell how many sat actually locked on

zram/compcache

Hey existz,

First freaking awesome rom man! Second, I searched the thread for information on if this kernel supports zram or not and could not locate anything other than that you were "officialy" trying to stay away from it. Is there a way I can enable zram that you know of through an init.d script of terminal command? Is there even support from zram/compcache?

Anyone else get md5 mismatch? The downloaded file produces this in md5check '

[HTC Inspire 4G] CpN82:
aospX saved my phone!

I've jumped back and forth between GB ROM's and your ICS ROM. Mainly because for some reason MMS didn't always work on ICS and I need all things to work in a ROM. But after your release of MR1 all is good!

One could say that Existz single handedly saved my phone and he did! I was fed up with GB ROM's and was looking for a new phone, but now it lives on.

So Existz, I thank you! Be sure to take a look at your donation account ;)

Kind regards from a happy DHD owner :highfive: :good:

Can I uninstall the car mode? Keep popping up
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chevyguy85:
Should be able to. I normally clean out all the apps I don't use before I put the zip on my phone. If I forgot or downloaded the zip straight onto my phone I install the rom and then only install Titanium to uninstall the stuff I don't use then go back and install all my apps. I'm about to put the latest release on and will let you know if it can't be, although I don't see why it car mode can't be taken off when we've been able to do so in the past.

One of the things I keep reading about the car thing popping up is the micro usb port has dirt or debris in it. Try a can of compressed air to blow it out. Doesn't always work but it only takes a minute to check.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ghandil:
What? :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] kBTWOFOUR:
It happened to me twice in the last hour. I did not have this problem in BR7.
[HTC Inspire 4G] foccacia:
I backup the app n uninstalled the app
[HTC Inspire 4G] bogduke:
Wipe - clean install - not clean install... Get it ?

No ? Then don't wipe.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chevyguy85:
That would work too, but since I have zero use for it and know that it isn't a required app, I uninstall it and save myself a couple megs on my tiny 8 gig micro :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Coblica427:
Encrypted text is a known ICS problem, not specific to aospX/MR1. It was present in all previous versions. Set your back key to kill app in developer settings, should fix the issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MikhailM1:
MC1 - success

Existz, many thanks for the latest update. Installed MC1 without any problems on my DHD. Did not do any special wipes, with the exception of cache (which the OTA installation appears to suggest and do) (does it do it?). So far all appears to be working fine, no problems so far.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marl30:
MR1 has been rock solid for me so far. I didn't even do a full wipe. Only wiped cache and did permission fix. Was prepared to do a full wipe and reflash at the first sign of trouble. So far all have been working perfectly. It's a lot smoother than BR7. Keep up the good work Existz.

But You expressed your mean in dashed way and I'm not quite clear yet :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] bogduke:
Right... Just don''t wipe.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
Existz said that he recommends a full wipe before flashing MR1. If you don't wipe, you may run into some problems. You should feel free to flash without a wipe, but if you encounter any bugs, DO NOT post them here. Do a full wipe, install MR1, then try to recreate. If it still shows up, then submit it to the bug tracker with a logcat.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ghandil:
So it was Completely explicit, Thanks :)

What about restoring apps (using titanium backup and linked to ext4 SD partition by Link2SD app). Is that Ok or it might cuase some problems too? In a wider concept condsider restoring backups from different android versions (i.e. 2.3) or another ICS custom ROM (and aospx BR7 of course)
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
Like dirty-flashing, restoring apps can (in my experience, rarely) create unexpected problems. You should only report bugs from a full-wipe flash without restored apps. I restore apps across ROM versions (ICS and JB) all the time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bogduke:
The safest way is to install all the apps from the market, especially if you are coming from GB. If you're coming from an earlier edition of the same ROM is safe to restore app through Titanium. Also, in this case it is recommended to restore only user apps, not system apps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] playerjunglejosh:
Just a question for existz

Existz: When you finish this rom, and if you make a jellybean rom, will you make it where you can update from ICS(AOSPX ICS) to that rom(AOSPX JB)? Or is that even possible? That just happened to pop into my mind. Please don't flame me for it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bogduke:
If it's only for existz, then PM him.

In the meantime... flame on you!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bzow:
By update, do you mean flash the new ROM without wiping data? If so, then it's not possible without introducing bugs. Even between releases of aospX ICS, Existz recommends doing a full wipe since so many things are changing still.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ghandil:

Full wiping is not painful. Google play stores your apps and once they are downloaded it only takes a few minutes to set them back up. I have reflashed my girlfriends phone 4 times in the past month and each time it's only taken 10 minutes to set back up to her liking.

Hey guys!

After the automatic OTA update, my phone isn't booting :(

Stuck on the HTC logo. What can I do? Does anybody have the issue?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ai6908:
Maybe corrupted download. Download it to PC, then transfer to phone, and try it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] a user:
don't talk for everyone. not everyones device is configured so simple. for me a full wipe is allways a pain in the ass of at least 1h set up. without restoring data for quite a lot of apps it would need days.

no, google restore does not help in my case. it works but does not restore how and what i need. it actually makes things worse.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Matt James:
So far so good! GPS isnt locking yet but the biggest issue I have is I am not getting text message notifications anymore. I did this morning for the first few hours that I was awake but I havent gotten any since about 10 am.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AdrianM:
No problems here with message notifications.

Sent from my Desire HD
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Message notifications work fine here also...The only time I have issues is when the message inbox limit gets full (it defaults to 500 msgs), once it hits the limit then sometimes it doesn't give a notification ..I'm not sure if this is default aosp behavior once it gets full, but after increasing the limit or I delete msgs, it works fine. I'll have to look into this a little bit to see how its suppose to work...but other than that notifications work fine
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
Has anyone used the GPS in the U.S. successfully yet with MR1? It seems there are two reports of issues. I just want to check before jumping from BR7. GPS is kind of critical for me, and right now it's working fine.

- Jim
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Yes, GPS works fine...if on Inspire make sure to flash inspire mod.. in MR1 we use a prebuilt GPS lib from official HTC release, and everything works....if there is any issues then its device/user specific.. not the rom. First lock might take a few min on a cold start, there's not much we can do about that..but I get lock 10/10 sats in about 1-2min on cold start
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Existz quick question why did you pick the prebuilt GPS file from 2.50 vs say the 3.12. Did it give better results? Just curious
[HTC Inspire 4G] wrenhal:
Worked fine for me in Oklahoma. Inside I hit four to five sats in about twenty seconds. About eight to ten outside
[HTC Inspire 4G] kBTWOFOUR:
I know it's a known issue with ICS. I was just confirming it happened to me too because I had not seen the problem since BR1.
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Honestly, 2.50 was the first zip I seen to download and I tested it out, it showed good results and fixed the issue losing a lock after a certain amount of time. Also seen where 2.50 was being used on some JB roms with decent results...So I kinda went with a fail proof version instead of testing an untested lib...mainly because I was trying to get MR1 up as soon as I could after all the delays I got hit with. But feel free to try the one from 3.12 and let me know how it goes, or post the lib for me and I'll try it out myself. There's always room for improvement, especially with getting that first lock... Our current source built lib that we used pre-MR1 had issues with losing a lock, so thats why I decided to use a prebuilt one to begin with

Messaging

I was having problems today receiving picture Messages wouldn't download pics and kicked off my data connection off had to reset phone to get data connection again. Everything else working GREAT!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] existz:
Check and make sure its using the correct apn for your carrier, usually unable to download MMS is something with the apn, it could also explain your data issue. But I havent had any of these issues, MMS works fine for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Matt James:
Thanks for the reply. I dont let me message box get even close to filling up but I went ahead and deleted the few that were in there today and I'm still not receiving notifications on the task bar. :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] sarichter:
I'm going to be trying the 3.12 google specific library because I have heard it works wonders. I did update the Inspire (back on an older ROM) with 2.x and it definitely turned the phone around.

On another note... no complaints so far from the g-f, so great work existz!
