You can try, but do a backup first. If anything doesn't work then do a full wipe and re install before troubleshooting.
[Desire HD Android Development] Shimmty:
One more thing, is there anything that I need to before flashing the new rom?

Sent from my magical device from somewhere
[Desire HD Android Development] bananagranola:
I have done so without problems (with a nandroid backup first), but if unreported problems do pop up please do a full-wipe and reflash before reporting a bug. This will be true of just about any ROM.

EDIT: my goodness, I'm slow. Sorry about reiterating. And as for what else to do before flashing, I usually wipe cache and dalvik.
[Desire HD Android Development] fishykipper:
I always recommend FULL WIPING when coming from another ROM.

As already stated, you don't need to full wipe when upgrading versions of ROMs, like this one.

The majority of times just installing the ROM over the top of the previous release is fine. If you experience problems/bugs, before asking in the forum, perform a full wipe and reinstall to see if the bugs are still there.

Most developers will state below the download link if they recommend a full wipe before flashing.

Ps. Upon flashing this ROM, and the future upgrades you will need to reflash the google apps.zip from the first page. As these parts of the ROM are over written upon an upgrade.
[Desire HD Android Development] poopsmith777:
Agreed. Helping people is one thing. Coddling people who won't take personal responsibility and perform due diligence is another. I believe reading the thread regularly or even reading several pages back before posting an issue is part of the responsibility the end-user signs up for when they decide to begin flashing ROMs. It's a privilege to be part of the testing group for the development any ROM. I just find it disappointing as a person who deals with failure analysis and root cause on a daily basis to see posts with such insufficient information and clearly no investigation. But if RandomBlame is okay with all the questions that is his perogative as developer of this ROM, and I respect his stance.

GPS Issue Update

Typical Complains / Rants:

1. GPS does not lock

2. GPS takes ages to lock

3. Keeps loosing signal / picks up very few satellites

4. Lock is not consistent, and fluctuates

Since quite a few users have struggled with GPS issues (including myself), I thought that I'll share my experience. I'm still on R10.1 and I believe that the GPS issues (as quoted by several users) is not related to the ROM. Instead it's related to the settings in the files,

1. /etc/gps.conf &

2. /system/build.prop

I have tried the fix provided by both MarcoHD (FasterFix) & crypted (AGPS Patch) and have had mixed, but unsatisfactory results.

So, I researched on the web for GPS lock solutions, for DHD (In the UK). Based on several findings I have been playing with my settings and have finally achieved a state where I can a really fast lock, with atleast 6-8 average Satellites. Configuration that works for me:

1. gps.conf needs to have correct entries for NTP_SERVER. Best way to locate those entries is to go to http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/, click on 'Active Servers' on the right hand side for your continent, and choose your country. At the top you'll see a set of 3 or 4 servers, and all of those need to be set in gps.conf, as below (UK in my case)

NTP_SERVER = 0.uk.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER = 1.uk.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER = 2.uk.pool.ntp.org

NTP_SERVER = 3.uk.pool.ntp.org

Remember that these should be the only NTP_SERVER entries in the file

2. I found this suggestion in the AGPS Patch (by crypted) and it worked for me. Edit the entry in the build.prop file as below:

ro.ril.def.agps.mode = "1" (Generally this value is set as "0" or "2"

After making the above changes, reboot the phone. Then load the GPSStatus app, and you'll see that it'll start latching onto Satellites, give the app sometime until it gets a stable lock, and you're good to go.

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert, and these are settings that worked for me, based on my limited research.

Now, the only outstanding issue I'm facing is the accuracy of the lock. I had a 100 mile journey today using Copilot, and the lock was absolutely stable, but accuracy was left wanting. Typical issues were encountered when there're roads that go under/over the motorway, parallel roads, slip roads, etc. The Sat Nav kept deviating into these other roads before reverting to the motorway on which I was.

So, the accuracy will be an area where I'll need more research, and suggestions from all ..

Edit: I've created a separate thread to capture suggestions/inputs from the larger community, and link to that thread is here, so as not to clutter a Development ROM Thread.
[Desire HD Android Development] Bigtnew:
R11 clean wipe. Occasionally sound from the ear piece stops working. Also sound from rear speaker will then come from front speaker? Light flow SwiftKey 3 and retro clock are all forgotten at reboot and need to be re enabled. The sound dropping has led to some missed calls. I haven't used speaker phone at all if that helps diagnose. Thanks for the help fellers.
[Desire HD Android Development] DPLOY:
It is my theory that many users are afraid to wipe because of lost data/apps (duh). If you take an hour to properly use Titanium Backup you will see how you can make a flashable zip that will restore all your data and apps...in the paid version this can be even be automatically performed from a wipe. Keep this zip on a network drive and you will always have your data and apps, including call logs, sms/mms, etc.

Thus a full wipe should never be an issue. No brainer.

DISCLAIMER: I am only a fan, not an employee of Titanium Backup and make no profit from you using this great app. :cowboy:
[Desire HD Android Development] Quiglesigles:
If your 3rd party keyboard is not selected after reboot do this:

back it up with titanium>uninstall the app from settings>restore from titanium

This is a problem with Jellybean not this rom in particular
[Desire HD Android Development] ScumDroid:
Clean install of build 11 with TWRP. Everything seems great so far. GPS locked to 16 Sats in less than 10 seconds. Everything else seems to be fine. Camera and camcorder work good. i did notice that HD Widgets do not stick on reboot, but all other widgets do. Trivial, i can live with re adding a widget here and there after reboot. I also noticed the softkeys are alot brighter than before which is awesome. Cheers RB, this is a 5 star ROM for sure bro
[Desire HD Android Development] Quiglesigles:
The process I outlined above for keyboards also applies to widgets.

back it up with titanium>uninstall the app from settings>restore from titanium
[Desire HD Android Development] damac:
Sorry about that! I've been using it for a long time and have never had any problems with it. If you do want to try again, I disable all functions of the app except the permission manager, just because that's all I need. Make nandroid backup before installing just in case of trouble again.

[Desire HD Android Development] Quiglesigles:
Changing LCD Density has been known to "break" some apps but I changed my density from 240>210 and I didn't find many problems at all. The only problem was the missing apps from the Play Store.

I tried this solution from time to time. But it never helps. Even after booting Rom, flashed with full wipe I disable hw overlays and lines appear after some time - it is seems connected with lockscreen/screen off, as only appears after that. Of course, no reboot. If I correctly remember, this option goes to default state after reboot.

Yes, I can confirm that in JellyTime R10.1, Voxer has been crashing and unable to retrieve sound clips (they show up on the screen though, and others can hear it). It doesn't seem like we're the only ones, there has been reports of different phones having the same issues, such as the iPhone 4. Hopefully Voxer or the developers will figure something out soon.

I read about others with this problem. I also have an Inspire 4G, but I'm not having it. Have you tried rebooting your phone? If so, have you tried wiping again and reinstalling? Perhaps something went a little screwy with your install. If neither of these work, or if you don't want to go through another install, then I apologize for not being able to help more.

[Desire HD Android Development] ehnemehnemu:
Hey there, I discovered a problem with my DHD (R5 if I remember right). I was planning to upgrade to R11 today, so I wanted to make backups. Then I noticed how it always reboots in the first seconds of the update process. Other Apps (such as games or Hotmail for example) will force shut down after a second or so. Other, more simple apps work though.

I noticed the issue with Hotmail some days ago, but didn't bother too much about it. Now that I want to update, I want to save my stuff of course.

My question is, can I upgrade to a newer version without full wipe and will my apps, personal files etc. remain untouched? This is to test whether it is a problem with the R5 ROM instead of my phone (RAM broken?).
[Desire HD Android Development] Guichinga:
Just try to

wipe dalvik & cache

format system

flash rom

flash GApps

fix permissions

reboot

That should work.

If you phase issues afterwards, then you have to do the full wipe - as requested before highlighting issues based on a dirty flash.
[Desire HD Android Development] Cashreedhar:

[Desire HD Android Development] ysfsuleman:
Just wanted to say this is probably the sweetest and quickest ROM I've EVER had on my DHD, I'm even willing to drop Sense to use this ROM, its amazing. Randomblame is a freakin King. Dude. you're awesome.

I'm using R11, only issues that are affecting me are the Wifi: weak signal, which seems to be a general problem on JB, the Swiftkey Pro issue, which seems to be a Swiftkey Pro issue, and the camera needs some tweaks here and there. Other than these few small problems, this is one kick-ass ROM.

Keep up the good work Randomblame.
[Desire HD Android Development] Cliff1:
R11 seems to be a lot smoother then r10.1
[Desire HD Android Development] damac:
Swiftkey pro works fine for me. What issue are you experiencing?
[Desire HD Android Development] ErMeglio:
I am also experiencing multiple problems with it since..well, I think ever.

I think a known bug I have already read about is: if you enable it into settings-language and inputs, and also set it as default, all these settings will work till a reboot. If you reboot it's not enabled, nor default. This is a minor problem anyway.

A major problem is experienced if I use Swiftkey with Google Chrome and other apps (sorry, can't remember exactly which apps). It's slow as hell to appear, but apart from this the page is wrongly rendered as soon as you open if first time. Parts of swiftkey goes to appear where you have to write, the field of the webpage you have to write in is doubled somewhere on the page.

sometimes part of the page goes even on the top of the screen in the notification bar, hiding some content. Wasn't able to reproduce right now with pics, will update if I can.

There's heavy flickering often.

Sometimes while you are writing SwiftKey disappears and a part of the page (repeated from the top) appears there

,

if you try to click there, a hole appears there with parts of the page and the (rest of) SwiftKey appears all around.

if you click again on a button SwiftKey disappears again and just that button stays and is pressed.

Then flickering and multiple problems.

Shots coming from the phone soon proving and showing each one ... :)

Phone switches to AOSP keybaord after rebooting or connecting DHD as USB device. I did a full wipe when I flashed to R11.
[Desire HD Android Development] damac:
Well, your problem 1 was already solved by someone here. Can't remember who. He said (and it works), backup swiftkey using titanium backup, uninstall it, then restore the backup. Then set it as default keyboard. Will remain as default after reboot. Something to do with it being installed in non-standard location, somehow!

How To hw overlay setting persist after reboot?
[Desire HD Android Development] toxicpaulution:
I'm going to apologize on randonblames behalf. I don't know if you are away or not but our phone both inspire and desire stopped at gingerbread. Meaning there was no kernal support for ics let alone jellybean. Random started with jellytime and I followed him from the first day he posted it. You're right its not perfect. I doubt it ever will be unless we get the ruu package for it. If you think you can produce a stable rom within a week for jellybean starting from absolute scratch then by all means do it. If you think sabsa or whatever is better then go for it. The updates are average a day or 2 sometimes he recompiled the wrong thing and put out a .1 version and a different kernal. Like the other guy said, this is a DEVELOPMENT of a rom. Not a final release. Hell I have know companies to put out bad updates causing them to come out with a 4.0.1+ version. If its so horrible wiping and flashing a better version then don't. I don't see why everyone complains so bad. It takes me 300second to back up. Takes me 2 mins to flash a new rom. Takes me 30 seconds to do gapps/inspire mod. Then 10 mins to reinstall all my apps from tb and 5 mins to do my messages from gosms. Also random talks to you if you have a real issue he doesn't blow you off and tell you to go elsewhere like another channel or forum. I like random and what he does for this community he has a family and kids but yet still manages time to help us. Thank-you randomblame. Thank-you.

Never had issues with WiFi. IMO ROM has been stable since at least B8 (when it started as my DD and ever since). I love that there is always a twinkle in Random's eye ;) words can only go so far in expressing our gratitude for you breathing new life into our platform, Random!
[Desire HD Android Development] dg170775:
I've never heard a more ungrateful comment, from a member. Have you ever even bothered to find out the effort that goes into releasing a ROM??? And that for free??? Your phone is a couple of years old, and thanks to RB, you can even look at some current world features on your phone..

So many of us are using JT as our daily drivers and we wouldn't be doing so, if it were not stable.. The latest version is a Release version, and do you understand what that means???

Please go back to Sabsa right away..

Btw, WIFI on 10.1 works like a charm (Cause I'm still on 10.1 and my phone's on WIFI atleast 5-6 hours a day), not only for me, but for several of us..
[Desire HD Android Development] Gizmoe:
Also no WiFi issues here. People blame too much on ROMs when it comes to WiFi.
[Desire HD Android Development] dg170775:
You're right, Wifi, GPS & MMS issues are generally not because of the ROM, but because of the settings.

Wifi works superb..

GPS works great if people are ready to search a little, and apply a few fixes

MMS works if you have the correct APN Settings.
