ICS MIUI based on Lord's work

I've been trying some shots, and sometimes there are glitches, and sometimes there are not... anyway it does improve what i had before (glitches ALWAYS) ;)

When using flash, pictures are always o.k., when flash is not used, sometimes I get that blurred portion on top...

So today I checked my home screen and noticed my XDA app was missing, then checked the phone and turns out it was completely uninstalled out of nowhere. Check the market, it SAYS "Purchased," go to Install/download, and it fails and tells me it failed because I haven't purchased the app... Really getting annoying. Anyone know who I can talk to about it? I have the receipt for it in my email still.

EDIT: Solved............. I'm an idiot. Downloaded it through Amazon, not the Android Marketplace, hahaha. :rolleyes: Dumb mistake.

In Manage Applications some of the apps/games become greyed out and displayed 0 kb. Even I uninstalled all those greyed out apps and after a reboot. They come back again in manage applications.

What can causing those corrupted apps/games?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dt33:
No, never used any app2sd before and never move any app/game to mine external sd either.

Even I reinstalled all those greyed out at manage applications and uninstall it directly. After reboot, it still there and I just dont know whats happening.

Ex, I installed tip off basketball game from market, play it for few minutes and after a moment. The game get corrupted and displayed as 0kb greyed out.

That apps dispalyed as SD in screenshot means, thay are installed on internal memory SD and not external_sd location.

[HTC Incredible S] htcmagicuser:
Greeting fellow Incredible S users!

I recently bought a second hand incredible S running 2.3.3

Upon trying it out at home i discovered that the wifi doesn't work. As in it doesn't enable. When i tap to turn it on, it hangs for awhile then says error. I factory reset, but nothing changes. I'm unsure if it's hardware or software related, and I googled around and found nobody with the same issue.

I have a 30 day warranty, so i figure I should try and install a custom rom and a kernel to check if it might fix it. So I followed this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1137008 , and successfully s-offed. It asked me to install recovery and I accepted. I think everything is fine, so I download a Miui rom and a kernel, put them on my sd card. then booted in recovery. But when i went to flash the zip, nothing happens. It doesn't seem to recognize them as flashable files.

I'm am really confused, and I tried to flash some things. For some reason I tried to update the cwm. So i download a different version (an IMG file), and rename it to pg32img.zip, and put in on my sd card. I thought this would update my recovery, but it didn't really seem to do anything.

As a result of my tinkering the phone doesn't pick up a phone signal anymore. I may have messed up the radio???

I don't usually post asking for help, but I'm at wits end here!

And another question - what is the point of flashing new radios?

Ok let's get some more info about your phone.

What version of HBOOT are you running?

Also if you could boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and run the following:

fastboot getvar all

And list the output that will give us a better idea on what to suggest.

Also the antenna is in the back cover, so if you don't replace it during your modding, you probably won't see a signal.

Hello ive been usin Cyanogen Mod 7 for a while and when i installed that rom i was needed to wipe data and everything, now when i would like to test cm9 should i wipe everything again? Thx :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] haxn2:
Hi all,

i love this forum so much. thx for that!

When i change my rom i allways do:

download the rom

titanium backup

charging phone to 100%

cwm backup

data wipe

cache wipe

install the rom

dalvik wipe

adding my wifi

adding my google-acc

downloading about 20 apps

restore the userdata with titanium backup

adjust homescreens

changing a lot of settings (for example im very tired for setting allways my auto-brightness-levels. Can i export and import?)

i need about 7h to have everything that way i like it. how long do you need? and have you some tricks to fasten it up?

thx

greets

PS: im using "ILWT CM7 333" rom. it is awesome!
[G2 and Desire Z General] virtualflyer:
Most times, backup rom (2-10mins), full wipe, flash, use... Add Titanium sometimes, but I prefer to redownload everything. So something like 15 mins. Also because I change rom frequently, when I decide to keep a rom, I may add some more wipes and sometimes kernels and optimizations (swap, ViperMod, supercharger (just found) or similar...), but most of the times they work right without anything

sorry didn't see you meant also settings and downloading apps, 1 hour so.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
7 hours? Jesus!

I can do it all in an hour or 2. To be fair, I'd say 2 hours, as its easy to put the phone down and doing something else while waiting for a task to get done (like CWM backup or Titanium), then forgetting about it for a while.

Of course, how low your battery is will affect the charging step, but at most that's an additional hour.

I can't imagine it taking more than a couple hours, much less the other choices on your poll.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bvdbasch:
7 hours, the hell man. That's quite a lot. I can do it in an hour clean. But I suppose it all depends on how you use your phone...

I just wipe, flash and then install a couple of apps. I use yahoo mail and it handles all my other mail accounts as well, so that's a quick and dirty cheat as all you need to do is install the app and sign in and boom all your mail is back and all your mail accounts are configured :D

[G2 and Desire Z General] mbrentrowe:
It only takes about an hour. I do a nandroid backup, titanium, call log, and sms. That's like ten or fifteen minutes. Then I flash the new rom. Install gapps connect to wifi and download titanium again. That only takes ten minutes. The only thing that takes long is restoring apps. I use go launcher on most roms so I just keep the same home screens and settings. I don't see what could take seven hours...
[G2 and Desire Z General] haxn2:
do you restore your apps with titanium? are not there issues when updates come?

maybe 7h is too much, mostly im doing this while watching tv, etc. maybe im not that focused. =)

but i really need some hour to have all the way i like it. dont you have your own preferences on auto-bightness? this take a while. i hope they have a nicer option to adjust it in cm9.

and the poll... its just for fun. =)
[G2 and Desire Z General] deliriousDroid:
Why do you all charge to 100%? I just flash unless I'm below 25% after I flash a new rom I drain it to 1% and wipe battery stats, my battery life has improved dramatically since I started doing that. Oh, and I would say two hours max.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
No it hasn't.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-engineer-debunks-myth-wiping-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/

You can't "improve battery life" by playing tricks with battery stats. Its like saying that messing with the fuel gauge in your car will change how much gas is left in the tank. Battery gauge calibrations and whatnot just change what the meter is saying versus voltage. It doesn't change how long your battery lasts.
[G2 and Desire Z General] deliriousDroid:
Okay, well I'm not going to argue that since its official, but as I honestly find it makes a difference i will continue to do it:p
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Its true that most times, you just need enough juice to get the flash done. And I've certainly done it with much less charge than 100%.

In some circumstances of modding the phone its possible to get stuck in a state where the phone will not charge. Messing with hboot is one case where this may happen, but there may be others. In this case, you can recover, provided you have enough battery to do so. If your battery runs too low before you can recover, you are in deep trouble.

Not sure if this type of scenario is possible with a routine ROM flash. But waiting an extra 15 minutes or half hour to make sure you have a decent charge (while not necessarily 100%) doesn't hurt anything, and might prevent you from being stuck in a bad situation.
[G2 and Desire Z General] deliriousDroid:
Good point, but I like to live life on the edge:D
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Can we add a choice on the poll for less than 2 hours? It seems from the majority of the typed responses for far, this seems to be the most common time frame.

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

Nope. Apps restored from Titanium are still linked to the Market. They get updated just as normal.

After a ROM flash I usually let the apps sync through Google, then restore the app data only, for apps that need it. But sometimes when apps are missing after the auto-sync, I just restore from Titanium.

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

And changing that setting takes what, about 10 seconds?

I think you're talking about changing lots of little settings (but you keep mentioning brightness only). But in that case, we're still talking about changing a bunch of settings that take 10 seconds each (or less). Still don't see how that can add up to more than an hour or 2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
another thing to note on battery draining. With the current generation of batteries, it's actually not a good thing to drain it to 1%. It does more damage than anything else. Older gen batteries require that you drain it then charge it up to full again for a few cycles, but that's because of the memory effect.

By draining your battery to 1% you're starving the battery and doing nothing but damaging the battery's capacity. our batteries usually prefer a 20-45% level over anything else.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mbrentrowe:
So when google syncs your apps do you still have to go in and manually download them from the my apps page in the market? I've always used titanium to restore and even when I do it in a batch operation I have to hit install and then done for each app. Is there a way to automate this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] haxn2:
DAMN! i wanted to post this reply, but i closed the tab. i hate chrome! DAMN!

now the short version:

i wanted to change it too. bu i cant change it. only mods. i dont want to annoy them with that.

there are a lot of settings u can play with. profiles. homescreens. lockscreen. sounds. auto-brigthness xD (i use 10 level. how u can adjust them in just 10s?). haptic feedback.

i think i want too much a custom custom rom. its wierd. :D

and now a big noob question:

how can you sync your apps with google? i cant find this.

best wishes

haxn

ps: sorry for the short replay. the first time i wrote nicer and longer..
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Nope. They should just start synching automagically once you go through the setup wizard (first time you boot the phone after the flash) and enter your Google login. Of course, only for Market apps, not apps obtained from other sources.

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

I wasn't clear on what you were talking about with auto brightness before. I thought you meant just changing the % brightness in settings. Is the auto brightness you mention an app, or a CM7 hack (I haven't messed with CM in a long time). If its an app (and there are some auto brightness apps), you can try to restore app data using Titanium instead of re-entering manually.

Which launcher are you using? If its ADW, you have the option in app to backup the home screen configuration. When you restore, it doesn't come back perfect (some widgets always get messed up for me). But it gets you 80% there and saves a bunch of time. I assume Launcher Pro and other 3rd party launchers has similar functionality. Not sure if you can do similar on the stock launcher (maybe using Titanium?)
[G2 and Desire Z General] haxn2:
auto brightness:

yes it is cm7-stuff. i want my screen a bit darker to improve my batterylife.

launcher:

i use go launcher. there is a save and restore function. but some things go wrong.

and again:

and now a big noob question:

how/where can you sync your apps with google?
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
If you downloaded apps from the Google Android Market (the "regular" market), then they should just start automatically start synching when you startup the phone after a flash (or buy a new Android phone). You shouldn't have to "do" anything extra. If you got your apps for another market or installed the APKs manually, it won't do this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] familiarstranger:
IIRC the free version of TB requires you to hit install for each app while the paid version does it in one batch.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Jinxed myself. The above has always worked for me, over various different ROMs (CM7, VIrtuous "regular", Affinity, Unity, RCMix, MIUI). I just flashed InsertCoin last night, and none of my apps were automatically synched when I started the phone up. In Market, only my paid apps showed up, and I had to install them manually one by one.

Searching around a bit on here, it seems the auto-sync function is a bit hit-or-miss. One person claims it mostly only works on AOSP ROMs, but this is clearly not the case in my experience.

[LG Optimus 2x] Supupa:
You sir have a dead digitizer. Unlucky ):
[LG Optimus 2x] brudy:
Maybe just your phone is fully freeze after boot. Do a full backup, and install an other ROM, for example CM7.
[LG Optimus 2x] itsjoe:
Supupa could be right...the phone isn't frozen as animations and text messages still shows and the problem persist with a fresh cm7 flash also..
[LG Optimus 2x] Supupa:
if you're under warranty ask for a replacement. you should get one back at no cost since there should be no signs of damage (:
