[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamDraven:
Hi guys.

I have some question, mostly out of interest really that may help me understand flashing etal better.

When in CWM recovery, if I want to flash a new ROM, I use a fullwipe.zip that I found on this site, to, well, wipe the phone :-)

The last thing wipe.zip says is make sure you install a new ROM.

Now, as I have, afaik, performed a full wipe, if I were to reboot after the wipe and before flashing a new ROM, would I brick the phone, or would it just boot into bootloader etc...

Would CWM recovery still be present on the phone after the wipe is it just running in ram or something?

I also have a load of other questions. But they can wait.

Cheers dudes.

Greg.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maatsby:
I've never done this, so I'm curious to know what happens exactly.

But as far as i'm aware if you were to boot the phone without a rom installed, you would just get a blank screen or maybe the splash screen. Recovery stays installed, which is good news because you need to get back there to install a rom or the phone won't work. So to do that you would have to plug the phone in and use adb to get back to recovery with "adb reboot recovery" or if that doesn't work, pull the battery, hold vol down + power to get to bootloader and then get to recovery that way to install a rom.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djolebih:
If you run the phone without os you get stuck in a bootloop i think. After that not sure what happeness. It's always easier to install 4EXT recovery, dowload any ROM you like from here and flash through 4EXT. No need for any full wipe scripts since a full wipe is format data/system/cache, erase dalvik which is very simple in 4EXT.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dstN:
answer on your question:

CWM still works, even if you flashed a fullwipe or "superwipe".

But, i just want you to know, that you get other problems if you tried to unlocked your bootloader via htcdev, within flashin new roms.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arknailed7754:
Lol i dont get it,you wiped her,why would you want to blast off into oblivion

Interesting though,rather start picking my rom out?

Theres so much choice now
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngd24:
If you do that you will be stuck in boot loop as no OS is installed and yes you will still have CWM available. To get out of the boot loop just remove the battery. And then just press vol down and power to get into hboot and then you can get into recovery from there.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamDraven:
Hey dude. It was purely out of interest.

I was thinking about this after i flashed the LC ICS ROM.

I used CWM to full wipe and flash the new rom zip, but it seemed to install very quickly.

So quickly in fact I thought that it couldn't have installed correctly.

I didn't want to reboot incase the rom hadn't taken and I bricked my DHD so I ended up restoring a nandroid backup I'd made before wiping the phone.

But if CWM recovery would remain on the phone even after a wipe, then I can take the gamble that it had installed.

:-)

Cheers for your answers dudes.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmasoda:
Lords ICS does install pretty fast. But it just works... so there's little/no risk there. I try to always do a full wipe before installing but lately with his builds, I've only been wiping dalvik and cache and updating with the newest build. If something doesn't work, then I wipe and see if I get the same behavior with a full wipe. Multiple Nandroid backup points let me restore to whatever point in time that I want. It's a great approach.

Best of luck and have fun!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamDraven:
Cheers dude.

I just flashed it onto my DHD.

Runs well, the otly first poopy impression I have is the pictures from the camera!

Any suggestion on a 3rd party Camera app?

Cheers.

Greg
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmasoda:
I've found better luck with Pudding Camera and Camera 360. For me, the camera is the only hit or miss item atm. Folks have been posting ideas to get it working right, such as disabling the flash or putting it in burst mode with on 1 photos set. Also try clearing the data from the app too. Peruse the development thread... There's a lot of camera tweaks being offered here and there.

Another note, video is also problematic in the rom too... Really, so long as I can scan barcodes using amazon, I can get by otherwise. I look forward to your thoughts as you dig in... More updates are coming daily from Lord!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamDraven:
Hey dude.

The camera is a real deal breaker for me. With two kids and one on the way I want a good camera and camcorder.

Cheers for your comments though guys.

[HTC Sensation] TheMightyStu:
Hi,

I've been having a lot of problems with my sensation, the most annoying at the moment is the fact that my alarm doesn't always bother going off in the mornings. I'm fairly sure it has to be a software bug, last time the phone went back to HTC for repair they replaced the motherboard and its still doing it every now and again.

Since nobody else I know of with a sensation is having the same problem i got to wondering if it is related to the Vodafone rom on my phone. My question is: Is there a way of removing the vodafone software from my phone and making it behave like a stock UK/European Sensation such that it will still receive any OTA updates etc directly from HTC?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] johnerz:
As you are still looking for the OTA updates, I recommend a factory data reset before you do anything esla

From stock then run the phone with no extra downloads for a week or so and If the alarm is OK, then sadly the problem was/is what you have downloaded/settings you have changed
[HTC Sensation] jasminthoria:
Just super cid it and install stock UK ruu
[HTC Sensation] whynot66:
Just out of curiosity will that give me ota of htc?

[Android General] pr0crast1nate:
That's right! We, the owners of the A100, are tired of the locked bootloader on our tablets. So we're raising a bounty to interest some of the more skilled devs to crack it!

The rules are simple, you can crack the existing bootloader, use alternate recovery, 2nd init or whatever means you want.

We're also starting a petition to Acer in the wake of the success with such devices as the Transformer Prime. Thanks to enyce9 for taking charge of this! http://www.change.org/petitions/acer-unlock-a100-tablet-bootloader#

[Android Apps and Games] heraSK:
I've downloaded this game today and it's pretty okay. i just have this one issue with it. the game restarts itself every now and then.

title screen with pirates of the caribbean shows for a few seconds and then it takes me back to sea map, no matter what i was doing before: battle, quests, menu...

it's pretty annoying, as i can't performe anything without an interruption. despite of it, it's an interesting game.

is anyone else playing it, and has anyone else encountered such issue? any sollutions? googling came up with no answer. didn't even find the same problem. clearing cache and reinstalling the game didn't solve it...

thx in advance... running HTC Desire with Sebastiaan15's AIO 5.0.1 GB ROM
[Android Apps and Games] heraSK:
i think i found it. after uninstalling Watchdog 3G the game seems more stable now, didn't have a restart yet...hope this helps someone with similar issue.cheers!!

[CHEF] TAG : Only for ROM Maker.

It was for zip ROM, so User will be able to customize their rom installation...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Faryaab:
What about those in which the touch screen doesn't work in recovery?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amarullz:
It still works with volume keys or trackpad/navigation... The generic CWM include Touch Driver. so It will works in almost all recoveries (ofcourse except the recovery with trimmed kernel). But the devices had different calibrating data, so ROM Chef should try to calibrate the device use "menu"->Calibrating Tools in Installer...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Faryaab:
I have tried this on my Galaxy S and the touch screen doesn't work but Menu button does work but i can't select anything with any key.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amarullz:
Can You navigate trough the items??

What default keys you used in recovery to select items?

Currently the selection keys was:

BTN_MOUSE, KEY_ENTER, KEY_CENTER, KEY_CAMERA, KEY_F21, KEY_SEND

Maybe I should include POWER Button to select something.

Navigation can be used with:

KEY_DOWN, KEY_UP, KEY_VOLUMEDOWN, KEY_VOLUMEUP

I will rebuild it now...

Try attached file: To Make the touch screen works, run the Calibrating Tools, then edit aroma-config file in "META-INF\com\google\android"

NOTE: Calibrating data included in the binary was for HTC Desire, to change it, check this line in aroma-config:

##
# Calibrate Touchscreen
# defaut: HTC Desire Touch Screen Calibrate Data 8,-20,8,-20
#
# For other device, run the installer, then press "menu"
# and select Calibrating Tools. Follow Instructions, and make
# sure the touch screen has been valid in the testing step.
#
# In the end, there will be alert dialog with calibration data
# ( green ), replace this calibrate() function with that data.
#
calibrate("8","-20","8","-20");
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Faryaab:
Assign the power button to select option as we use our home and power button to select. If you assign the power button then we can calibrate our touch screen.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Faryaab:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amarullz:
can you move the circle in the end of calibrating?.. In alert Dialog, there is script data like this: calibrate("8","-20","8","-20");

The code should be included in aroma-cofig

##

# Calibrate Touchscreen

# defaut: HTC Desire Touch Screen Calibrate Data 8,-20,8,-20

#

# For other device, run the installer, then press "menu"

# and select Calibrating Tools. Follow Instructions, and make

# sure the touch screen has been valid in the testing step.

#

# In the end, there will be alert dialog with calibration data

# ( green ), replace this calibrate() function with that data.

#

calibrate("8","-20","8","-20");

#

#

you should unzip the file, and edit the aroma-config, then re-zip it again....

My phone runs cwm 2.5. Anyone get it to work below cwm 3? TNA
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amarullz:
you can even create options for 10. framework-res, 10 com.htc resources, 10 systemUI.. :D but remember, you should provide both files, and consider the rom size,..

I think the supported cwm version was the first version that cwm recovery used update-binary.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] avss:
I'm providing 3 themes and several mods in my installer all with their own framework-res...etc..etc..

Just put every different framework-res.apk in its own folder and adjust your updater-script to look for it in the correct folder.

With Aroma users can make a choice and you can readout that choice in your updater-script and install the correct framework-res.apk depending on their choice.

If i'm correct the Edify scripting was started with CWM v3 and above.

Below V3 it was not Edify but Amend.

However...i think if you use an Update-binary from an old V2.5 script

and rename it to update-binary-installer in the aroma script

, it must run and install fine.

Dont leave out other characters...i guess it will mess up the position where aroma expects a character.

You changed position of the characters, and now aroma show you the character that has filled its place.

Top is aroma original

bottom is your example
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amarullz:
As I said... It's should be 96chars, and should be in the right order.. you change all characters orders, offcourse it will show wrong chars...

Why don't you just replace the * characters below, and keep the characters order?

!”#$%&’()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~©
__************______________*****__________________________****_*__________________________*****

Change the * with your chars, and leave the _ as is.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bar3200:
Oh..well, I thought it's improtant to keep it in ASCII order, which in it my language's letters are after english.

I'll try, hope it will help, thank you!

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

So now the english is pretty ok... But it's not showing my language....

Here is what i did:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] avss:
For example you changed the characters at position 4 (#) and 5 ($) in your language characters. For those characters you changed to see you have to type the # in your text and the $ in your text. Because those characters on the keyboard are changed in those of your language.

So dont type the exact characters who are probably displayed on your keyboard...but type the # sign and $ sign to display the characters underneath it.

So if you type # in Aroma, you'll get the character in your language that looks like an X and if you type $ in aroma you;ll get the character that looks like a J but upside down. And so on for all the characters you've changed.

@ Amarullz

Is there a possibility to build in a argument to set a auto reboot after a successful install?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] avss:
You can reboot automatically after flashing with the reboot("now"); option.

However it does'nt check if the flash was succesfull.

I don't know if there is an option to check if a flash succeeded or failed...

for that you need to wait for Amarullz :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] V6-Maniac:
Thx...

I know, thats why i asked if it's possible with a check for successful installation. ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] avss:
Does an install ever fail ? :)

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

Come to think of it.....

If you reach a critical point in your installation script, you can, after that point, do a check on if its done it or not.

Say you extract some files to /system and you want to test if the files are correctly extracted to that location. You can check the existance of those files and if exists write something to the aroma-data tmp folder. At the end of the script you can check and re-read that tmp file and see if it contains whatever criteria you have put in. If the criteria are good...do a reboot now option, else open up a screen with some messages saying something went wrong.

Its just an idea ....:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] V6-Maniac:
Yes it can...

;)

Corrupt File System

Wrong Hboot

Wrong sd-ext partition

Insufficient /system free space if conducting a rom update

ect,ect,ect ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] amarullz:
I will add something like this:

setvar("retstatus",
install(
"Installing",
"Installing AROMA INSTALLER...\nPlease Wait Until it Finished...",
"icons/install",
"Install Sucessfull"
)
);

install will return installation executable return status. It mean if it return "0" it successful without any error, other than that, it may error (-1 is segmentation error, etc).

so you can compare it:

if
getvar("retstatus")=="0"
then
... STATUS OK ...
endif;

I also will add optional message after installation finished ( when the save log button showed ) to replace "Please Wait Until It Finished" like this:

install(
"Installing",
[COLOR="Green"]"Installing AROMA INSTALLER...\nPlease Wait Until it Finished..."[/COLOR],
"icons/install",
[B]"Install Sucessfull"[/B]
);

The bold text will replace the green text after the installation finished...

Hi Amarullz,

The other day i wrote here saying reboot("now"); isnt rebooting most of the time, and today i got some confirmation from users who use my stuff that the reboot doesn't happen. Aroma quits and in recovery it says "error on aroma status(0)".

When i test it, it sometimes reboots, but 80% of the time it doesn't reboot but goes back to recovery with the error.
