I've tried everything I got a new battery that is 2450MAH changed roms changed kernals cleared everything in recovery i still can drain the phone in an hour of constant use and it still at a max will last six hours. I noticed when its plugged in with green light at 100% it can drop to 99% while plugged in. UMMMM how is that even possible. It wont even go back up. I just flashed a new rom as in unplugged it and went into 4EXT iver been running it with no apps on it i just synced facebook contacts and gmail contacts in 20 minutes it is at 67%.................

Flashaholic Packs

Do you consider yourself to be a flashaholic?

If yes then this pack is a must for you. Install essential apps through recovery immediately after flashing a rom.

You can flash this pack at any time provided you wipe cache and your data partition is ext4.

Wipe cache and flash through recovery - installed to data/app

Hugo - Includes most Google apps and other essential utilities

Choose your pick through aroma installer.

HUGO - Download

More packs will be added soon. Requests are welcome.

Like the idea, but how is this more convenient than TitaniumBackup? Apart from restoring the apps, TB also restores the data files if desired.
[HTC Sensation] opethfan3:
Awesome idea, very cool.

One small request: is it possible to include the UI for the download manager? The Hyper_ ROMs don't include it by default so selecting downloading files from the notification bar causes a force close.

[HTC Sensation] buzzboy:
Greetings, thanks for the share.

There seems to be a touch screen issue with the Aroma installer. The calibration seems way out.

I know that the early Aroma packages had a built in touch screen calibrator, but alas I cannot find one here.

Cheers to the OP.
[HTC Sensation] Alipk52:
Great post mate, much needed especialy these days where there are atleast 3 to 4 additional packages, which users tends to flash, btw i would suggest you to create similar package with basni beats mod, hq camera, etc, so that it'll cover almost everything which isn't included in any ROM.
[HTC Sensation] strawmetal:
Sorry to dissapoint you but i dont own a Sensation to test if they're working. I'm just another beginner from the Desire Z forum. Thought I would share this with you all too.
[HTC Sensation] strawmetal:
I'm terribly sorry about that. The calibration I've given is for my Desire Z. Would someone be interested in obtaining the calibration data for your HTC Sensation?

Replace the aroma-config in this directory /META-INF/com/google/android/aroma-config with the file i've attached.

When you flash the pack with this file you will be prompted to calibrate your touchscreen. Please follow the instructions. After that you will get a result which will look like this

Of course with different values.

Please report back the values you get so that i can post an updated pack.

Note: Remove the .txt extension to the attached file before you place it in the pack.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motionmonk:
Hi All, let me start with a warning…

total Android n00b here, doing his first ROM flash on a newly rooted T-Mobile G2. I’ve read and searched a bit in the forum threads to see if I could solve this on my own, but I do need help.

VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT - 0.82.0000 (PC1010000)

MICROP - 0425

RADIO - 26.02.01.15_M2

eMMC - boot

Aug 20 2010, 16:51:01

This is from using the instructions in Strawmetal’s PDF guide to Downgrading from Gingerbread to Froyo and Root. I am working with a G2 phone that was set to Factory Reset before rooting, so there is no user data to backup or worry about.

1. I downloaded the Andromadus Mimicry 1.1.2 ROM image, and verified the md5 checksum on my sdcard using the AFV Legacy application. The Gapps image also was verified as well.

2. Using ROM Manager 5.0.0.8 from the Google Market, I ran Clockwork Recovery to install the Andromadus image. I left all settings on defaults and the installer ran fine.

3. When it restarted, I was left stuck at the white HTC screen for ages… the longest I left it was 20 mins. After that, I pulled the battery and restarted. Same white HTC screen.

4. I tried using Volume (+) key and Power On to get back to Clockwork Recovery, but the phone vibrated (buzzed) 3x times quickly, and the Power LED lamp pulsed an amber color. Again, yank battery, restart, same white HTC screen.

5. finally I decided to read more of the help for adb, and found the command “adb reboot-bootloader”. This let me get into the default Recovery mode, and it proceeded to find the PC10IMG.zip I still had on the sdcard from doing the Froyo downgrade. Recovery checked it out, ran it and restored the stock Froyo image and my phone did a proper restart. WHEW.

After that, I had to run adb to install the hboot recovery image file, and the busybox checksums were valid according to Strawmetal’s PDF instructions to get permanent root back after restoring the stock Froyo image.

I have done this process about 4 times, and am really good at typing inside adb now :eek:

But I’m lost…

-did I pick a ROM that doesn’t work with the G2? Other posters to the forum thread appear to be using the HTC Vision or G2.

-is ROM Manager not a good way to install a ROM?

-when I tried to get back into Recovery, what do the 3x buzzes/amber power LED mean?

-I never got to install the Gapps image; was I supposed to install that first, then the ROM image?

I imagine I did something wrong (duh!), but I can’t spot it. If someone can help me through this, I’d appreciate some advice very much.

thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
Rather than clockwork, use 4EXT recovery, much better for our device. ROM manager and clockwork have grown very iffy over the past year. Don't use rom manager to install a rom, download the zip yourself and manually install it in recovery.

Next you need to find the "superwipe+ext4.zip" floating around here, it is indispensable for FULLY wiping your phone when switching roms.

Mimicry works fine on the G2, in fact everything (except a few sense roms that need a Desire Z hboot) in the development section runs fine on the G2.

So....get the ROM, GApps for that ROM, the Superwipe zip (you will flash this right before you begin flashing the rom) on your SD card and make sure you are using 4EXT recovery (find the link in the dev section).

Make sure before you do ANYTHING you make a Nandroid backup (using your recovery).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blk_jack:
Your issue is actually addressed in the Mimicry OP, please read it first. That said, the problem is almost certainly because you're coming from GB without a full wipe. You can use 4ext to repartiton/wipe all, or you can use superwipe+ext4 as mentioned by Nospin.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motionmonk:
Hi Nospin,

Thank you very much for your suggestions!

I will revise my root and remove Clockwork, and switch to 4EXT instead.

I appreciate the idea of "superwipe"; I will look for that as well today.

If I understand everything right...

-replace CWM with 4EXT

-place superwipe.zip, Gapps.zip and the Mimicry ROM.zip on the top level of the sdcard first.

-reboot the phone and run 4EXT recovery

-select superwipe to run first, then the ROM and then Gapps

-then restart the phone

When I used CWM before to install the ROM, it rebooted on its own before I could install Gapps. Will 4EXT let me do each install right after each other or do I have to return to 4EXT for each separate install?

regards,

motionmonk
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motionmonk:
Hi blk_jack,

I went back to the Mimicry page and re-read the FAQ section.

I think what I got out of it the first time was that if the ROM flash failed, it could be a corrupt ROM image. I will definitely use 4EXT to repartition before I try again with a ROM flash.

I guess I am still getting used to the terms for everything; can 4EXT do the nandroid backup? or is there a better process for setting that up?

thank you!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:

Update-not working

Ok...

I re-flashed back to stock Froyo, and did a permanent root.

Installed 4ext Recovery (instead of Clockwork), and got a copy of SuperwipeG2+ext4;

I copied new checksum'd copies of Mimicry 1.1.2 ROM and GApps to my sdcard.

Booted into 4ext Recovery and installed from .zip the SuperwipeG2+ext4 file.

System, data and cache are all converted to ext4 partitions.

Wiped the system and data and cache partitions.

Installed from inside Recovery the Mimicry ROM and then the GApps archives.

No errors reported.

Upon reboot, I still get the white HTC screen. UGH. :p

I've left it on in that state for 30 mins... I had to yank the battery after that in shame...

I have tried to make sure that I read up on background steps, and I feel I do understand the overall process, but something is still getting in the way. I am doing this as I mentioned in an earlier post on a factory reset G2 with a clean erased SD card (has the stock Froyo image, Andromadus Mimicry ROM and GApps only). There is no SIM card installed either, wifi is off (to avoid OTA upgrade requests).

Are there other things I can try, or info I can supply that would help? I think I'm so close to getting this done... I must be overlooking something obvious.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amogil:
I run that by rom along with Cm9 beta..... Try adding that to your boot process. Just Cm9 beta..... Other than version of crash.... That's just what I have experienced
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motionmonk:
Hi amogil,

Just to be sure I understand, are you saying you are swapping between Andromadus and CM9 beta on your phone?

Did you flash CM9 first? and then Andromadus?

or just carrying the CM9 beta image and running Andromadus?

Sorry, I'm all sorts of confused here lol

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
Ugh....it's frustrating isn't it?

Can you boot into any other rom? For example if you downloaded CM7.2? If you don't have any problems we can eliminate some possibilities.....

I had a similar problem booting into Mimicry my first time, in that I could get past the white HTC screen but after that my screen would just go black. After a couple frustrating hours what ended up working for me was downloading the older version (1.1.1 I think?) and that booted up fine . Then after letting that boot I went back into recovery and flashed 1.1.2 without wiping (I might have wiped cache and dalvik...). Everything worked great after that. Not the same problem as you, but similar.....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motionmonk:
It's definitely a thought, and I believe that's what amogil is telling me too...

Ya, I can try a different ROM and report back.

I guess I should go back to stock Froyo and then start from CM7.2, and if that boots, try Mimicry again?

-from the Andromadus FAQ, it says it if a different ROM is based on ICS9, you shouldn't have to wipe. But with CM7, I'd have to wipe the Dalvik cache, yes?

-since CM7 is obviously not based on ICS9, would being able to launch into that show some details I can't see at present? Just was curious.

Or, do you think it better to go stock Froyo and then the older Mimicry ROM?

Either way, I'll make sure that I use the Superwipe to set things to ext4 first.

thanks guys for the ideas,

motionmonk
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strawmetal:
The boot.img should be the issue for a rom to not boot from the. Htc whitescreen. My guess is that you have a false s-off.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motionmonk:
SUCCESS!

Woohoo!

It works!

Since I had an ICS9 ROM already in place and was planning to wipe back to stock anyways, I tried flashing the older Andromadus 1.1.0 ROM.

What a surprise and treat to see the startup animation!

After poking around for an hour inside it, I then tried Recovery to reflash to the newest 1.1.2 ROM.

YAY! It works!

OMG, having a new ROM is like having a new phone-- there are so many improvements to the UI and it's quick and speedy versus GB. Dang, I'm happy now :victory:

Observations:

1. I did notice that inside Recovery, my touchscreen was barely functional when I tried to update from 1.1.0 up to 1.1.2-- I had to use the Volume +/- and the d-pad button to make selections. After the flash, the touchscreen is as responsive as ever.

2. it's got me thinking, that there must be a setting that is expected in the v1.1.2 ROM that the v1.1.0 ROM installed. Or could something else be the issue? I mean absolutely no disrespect to the developers... but on the technical side, I'm just curious what possibilities exist that might lead to this situation.

3. backup question... when I use MyBackup Pro, I know I can make an archive of the apps I've installed, and an archive of the data (documents, music, settings). Is a nandroid backup different from that? when I see the backup/restore options inside of 4ext Recovery, what are those doing that's different from what I get from MyBackup Pro?

thanks for all the help and encouragement. I have a new ROM installed! :good:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
Oooh, a possibility. We will see if he can boot a different rom.

Whenever you switch roms (even if they are using the same Android version as a base) I suggest a full wipe. (Wipe all user data + Dalvik Cache + Cache, or just flash the superwipe zip). When upgrading the rom you are currently on (say upgrading CM Nightlies or going from Mimicry 1.1.1 to 1.1.2) you only need to really wipe cache and dalvik cache. Unless the dev states otherwise of course.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motionmonk:
Hi strawmetal,

It turns out that I did have s-off after all...

1. after one of the many attempts to flash the ROM image and restoring back to stock Froyo, I said that "I'm gonna start this entire process over to be sure." So I get stuck using the fre3vo tool for about 30 minutes, rebooting and trying different address ranges to find the exploit.

Never found one... oh no, what did I do to the phone now??

-then it hit me; if it can't find an exploit... then it must already been used!

2. also, I did check each time I was in bootloader that my S-OFF was there and the radio and hboot were not changing versions.

3. Hehe, and the best indication was... being able to boot up finally! ;)

I also have your Strawmetal.CM.V6.zip on my sdcard; if the downflash (?) to the Andromadus older ROM didn't work, yours was the CM7 image I wanted to try. If it's ok, I think I want to play around inside CM9 for a bit and then try yours out after that. I don't want to overwhelm my poor brain!

thank you for your suggestion... that definitely would be something to check as well.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strawmetal:
The bootloader can show a false s-off. I've personally experienced this. By the time "HTCDev bootloader unlock" came out i was already rooted. But as curious as I was I decided to try it out. Flashed an RUU ( my my why would I do that :P ) Got back s-on( guess this was false too) then I used HTCDev method to prove i'm a total noob. Then i relocked it using Nipqer's guide and followed setherio's method again. I was able to use the stock froyo, but no other rom would boot( false s-off being the culprit ). This time I ran to #g2root on freenode. Nipqer saved me.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motionmonk:
WOW. i just realized there is SO MUCH I need to catch up on! :eek:

I'll have to look up some of these guides later today... but the RUU is the ROM upgrade, right?

Did you ever find a reason why you got the false S-OFF flag? It's clear that the way I was looking at the failed fre3vo exploit as proof of S-OFF isn't always going to be true... but how would you separate a false S-OFF flag from lets say a wrong hboot image?

BTW, your PDF on downgrading and rooting the G2 was a godsend. Very very helpful and clear.

One of the reasons why I took so long to try rooting was that I was confused by the different methods and the replies of X not working, Y is a better way... going through your guide and the info here on xda cleared alot of things up. :good:
