Can I use a backup program to reinstall applications after a rom update. I have tested every rom that came out but manually reinstalled all the apps after rom update. Any help would be great.

Thanks ,

Victoria
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] vmiguel:
That's not a good idea: if the registry structure has been changed, from the previous rom to the new one, when you restore your backup, it can really mess things up!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Xeon_IV:
Thanks for the quick reply. its a pain to do the installs on my jasjar but its double with the O2 exec XDA as well. Best to do it the wright way
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Doodle:
I use the Rom upgrade utility from Sprite and it does the job always. No issues yet. Follow the instructions to the letter though..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] SpyderTracks:
I use SpbBackup with great results, but like vmiguel said, you shouldn't restore backups between ROM flashes as it restores ALL settings and registry entries, and this aint a good idea unless on the same ROM.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] niketkumar:
U shld freshly install every app after a clean ROM upgrade as it would also speed up ur device.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] lonelyboy2003:
i have a question.

All softwares work good for WM5 will work on WM6?

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Alkhal:
That depends on the software. Most work well, others require WM6 support.

Hey guys. I decided to have some fun and mod the Existing MIUI port for the desire 816t for a few other devices.

Great! Waiting for a5_dwg
[Desire 816 General] kinghunki:
Great! Thank you for your work!
[Desire 816 General] mbwambo:
Waiting….. For a5dug… dual sim
[Desire 816 General] Addymore:
Good one....plz make it for a5ul.......

I can be a beta testa on this.....
[Desire 816 General] quanganhbuingoc:
can't wait for MIUI on my 816w (a5dug) ^^
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
It would be helpful if people would comment info about each model, like dual sim or not, what region, stuff like that. I may be a bit delayed because of the Christmas holiday but I have the whole week after off so I should have time then. Thanks for the support?
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
Also if a5_ul is single sim try the a5_chl prop I think they might be similar
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
Happy to help the community!
[Desire 816 General] breggaeq@gmail.com:
stable

is the rom stable enough for daily on a a5_chl
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
I ran it on my own a5_chl for 3 hours with no issues. The notification bar is glitched to always display 1x even when connected to 4g, but 4g works perfectly. Remember to flash gapps if you want them. Good luck:)
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
I am having trouble with the dual sim Variant's build.prop because MIUI was never ported to the dual sim htc One m7 which is what I used for reference one the a5_chl because of similarities.

happy Holidays,

the_Victorian
[Desire 816 General] Addymore:
a5ul

I tried it on a5ul....it works a bit more good than the original one!the 3G is a bit more wirking even if when the screen goes off...the speed seduces till u turn it again......!sometimes i have to use the *#4636#*#* to select the wanted network manually! Thx for this nice work.....keep it up......!

I also experienced some apps crash like the MXPlayer, Google + requesting reinstallation,.....:D
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
I will work on a build specifically for a5_ul tonight, but I need some info. Is a5_ul specifically single sim or is it single Sim and wcdma/other internal radio something inside like the a5_chl?

Thanks,

The_Victorian
[Desire 816 General] Addymore:
a5_ul

a5_ul is single sim for Europe.....!!!! check this link for full specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_816-6073.php

I think it z like the a5_chl which is for sprint I think......!!!!!

Thx
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
Yeah a5_chl is single sim sprint for the US yeah. I own that model. I will look into it, it shouldn't be too hard to fix
[Desire 816 General] tifalyz:
Hello ! I tested in HTC 816n single sim 4G and fully work ! Data 3g\4g OK wifi bluetooth OK APN ok no bug found just one question. It's possible to translate this ROM in french language ? Sorry to my bad english .( i not modify a build prop just flash the ROM ) and perfect work ! thanks you very much i love miui ROM :D
[Desire 816 General] aerialdrone:
So do you flash the prop file? or?
[Desire 816 General] tifalyz:
No i just flash ROM / reboot / flash gapps and work perfectly i would just like to translate her completely into French but 100% thank's !
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
No you just change out the build.prop in the zip before flashing. Look in the OP for more info :)
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
It is possible, unfortunately I don't speak French, only English and Latin, so I can't do it personally. If anyone who knows French would like to translate it be my guest. I will credit you. Is it in the original setup language selection?
[Desire 816 General] tifalyz:
Ok :) but how translate miui ROM ? I tested a morelocale2 application for translate but no functionnaly at 100%... It is difficult has to translate? You know how can it be done?
[Desire 816 General] colossus3974:
Ok so I've tried to flash this several times with no success. I can't sync my Google contacts. So I flashed a couple of different Gapps packages but they cause a keyboard error and I can't do anything. What can I do to get my contacts back? I've tried accessing Google Play from my computer and sending Google Contacts Sync app to my phone but it won't push to the phone either. Any help is appreciated
[Desire 816 General] tifalyz:
Flash the rom reboot and flash this gapps ( don't flash rom and gapps at the same time )

https://xiaomi-miui.gr/community/ws...iandroid-gapps-4-4-small-20140105-signed-zip/
[Desire 816 General] colossus3974:
Worked perfectly. Thank you
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
I am fairly new to the Dev seen, iv only been doing it for roughly a year, so I do not no how to translate an entire ROM or anything like that. However, I'm sure there is a guide somewhere for this, good luck!
[Desire 816 General] tifalyz:
Yes i found a trick to translate. I use a logiciel "jbart2" and ideodexed and transtale a french language this miuiv5. Works perfectly and smooth :D sorry for my little english
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
Nice man! You translated the whole thing? If you send me a download link I will post it in the main page and credit you!

PS did you translate for a5_chl or just the stock miui build?
[Desire 816 General] tifalyz:
Yes i translated the ROM in french language at 100% i send a link tomorow its in my PC . i import the ROM on mega and i send a link tomorow ;)

- i translate a ROM posted in page 1( i took rom in this post ) .but this ROM tested on my htc816n single sim 4G a5_ul. This ROM compatible in various model ( in my opinion )

I download this rom

http://en.miui.com/download-256.html

I just translate this rom full french language. Its compatible full model of HTC ? i not modify build prop and a rom works great ! ( sorry sorry for my bad english )...
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
That's odd someone told me the stock build didn't work on the a5_ul like no 4g or something... Thanks for the work man just pm me the link when it is ready! :)
[Desire 816 General] mido3366:
Why r u not interested in a5_dug model unicom (European dual sim) it's the most important model? :(

Here is the original build.prop file from stock rom.. It may be useful ;)
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
Its not that I I'm not interested, its just that I was under the impression that dual Sim models were all supported with the stock ROM straight off their website. Also few miui ports have come to dual Sim variants, which makes it harder to use other similar phones for reference. Thanks for the build.prop I will look into it...
[Desire 816 General] tifalyz:
My phone is a5_ul and full works no bug and 4g works perfectly !
[Desire 816 General] tifalyz:
https://mega.co.nz/#!H85z0JYT!V77Fpje7Khsf3Ur_h-4TP8OTxlifrpNAxt5tOU9FbDg

Check that my friend a link to the ROM un french language ;)
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
You are credited in the OP. Thanks!
[Desire 816 General] tifalyz:
You're welcome ! the only bug I've found is that the ROM restart times all alone. But just at first boot , after that no bug.

you work on this ROM yet?

(Aieaie my english is very bad il use traduction application ^^' )
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
Its ok. I can't really do much about the random reboots because this is likely a kernel issue and I am clueless when it comes to kernels, as well as i don't have specific permission from hasz to edit much. I will see what I can do..
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
Good news for Dual Sim Users! I Posted a Beta build for a5_dug. Please post feedback! If you want your model supported, post a stock sense rom build.prop from your stock rom and I will try to support!
[Desire 816 General] tifalyz:
Thank's man ! Just : move application in sd card is not possible in this rom setting/application i cant found a button to move application in sdcard...
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
I'm not sure but I believe in android 4.4 you can't move apps to SD. That's what this ROM is based on. You can root it and use move2sd and use that though.
[Desire 816 General] tifalyz:
OK thanks :) i try it this week
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
Feel free to test :)
[Desire 816 General] quanganhbuingoc:
Phone not detect sim card

Try on A5_dug, first boot just keep hanging at detect sim card screen for a long time. I try to reboot and the phone going to home screen and still don't have signal. BTW, i think A5_dug doesn't see the second sim on this rom.
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
The detect Sim card part in the initial setup is a glitch, its an issue on all models but it should still actually work. Dual Sim is much harder to develop for, eh it could be a while. I'm super busy with school and stuff but I'll see what I can do
[Desire 816 General] kandy:
Bricked

Guys plz do not flash this ROM on a5_dug. My device is D816w chinese dual sim variant and I flashed this ROM via CWM recovery. After I copied build.prop I restarted the device and it didn't restart and now no sign of life. I assume device has fully bricked :( Therefore be careful with testing ROMs without cheking compatibility for your device. Will post if I can get my device back on. Plz pray for it.
[Desire 816 General] tifalyz:
this rom is not compatible with any model precisely. Can not have tested each model that is why we must always make a backup before flashing a ROM. this is the base ^^ ( sorry for my little english )
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
Ok. This is VERY weird. I have never heard of this happening on any variant, this is bizarre. However, I don't believe it is bricked. The only thing that changes in the build.prop for each device is some RIL properties (to manage sims) and nothing else. Not booting at all is a hardware problem, Battery dying (which is likely) or a bad kernel. The third one I know is not the problem because I don't modify the kernel with my builds. Any more Info about your issue? Is there even an htc splash screen? I hope I can help. That being said, custom romming does come with serious risks.

:confused:
[Desire 816 General] quanganhbuingoc:
Maybe he flash the rom first and then copy the build.prop by file explorer on MIUI

Maybe he flash the rom first and copy the build.prop by file explorer on MIUI. Try to get the phone back to the HBoot by hold the power button then still hold and plug the cable in and hold the vol- button (still keep hold power button) until get in the Hboot screen. BTW, my 816 is A5_dug and from china Unicom too. The rom work fine (i copy the build.prop in to the system folder in the zip file and then flash) now the only problem is sinal ^^. Hope Victorian can help soon. Anyway, i'm Vietnamese and sorry for my bad Eng.
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
I'm about to have a 4 day weekend so I will have some time to work on it. Like I said, dual Sim is hard to build for, so it may be a little while. I appreciate the whole community's support on this project, and I hope eventually I can have full support!

Thanks,

The_Victorian
[Desire 816 General] riteshkumbala:
Please can you make it work on the a5_dwg model. It is dual sim Indian model.
[Desire 816 General] techlink23:
This is my Taiwan version product variant of the HTC desire 816G
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
I apologize, but since the 816g is totally different hardware, I would have to build the entire ROM from ground up. In general any ROM you see on this forum is only for the 816 not the 816g. Maybe in the future it will get cyanogenmod and I will try porting it for the 816g....
[Desire 816 General] monsieur_beau19:
Is this rom Compatible with TWRP, or must I stick with CWM?
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
Twrp should work, But it is untested.
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
NEW a5_Dug BUILD POSTED! Link in OP. Feedback appreciated!
[Desire 816 General] Dark69Slayer:
A5_DUG - No SIM Card detected, even after reboot. You can try working on getting the device to function with 1 SIM first.

Since you are working on V6, I don't think you should bother with this. /suggestion

Also would be really cool if you can make V6 work for a5_DUG / 816w with at least one functional sim slot
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
Thanks for the feedback. Dual sim is quite a challenge for some reason, even cyanogen mod has issues with it. Hopefully I can get a working alpha of v6 soon, I am pretty close I think. I have been running the V5 build for a5_chl and everything works except MMS. For some reason it won't save APN's.
[Desire 816 General] monsieur_beau19:
TWRP build 2.8.4.0 works without changing the build prop file. Unfortunately, it failed when i changed the build prop file. I'll redownload as it may have been a corrupted file.

Edit: Using a5_chl (Virgin Mobile) model
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
MIUI v6 released by the great dev hasz! I ported it to a5_chl, but the notification bug persists from MIUI v5 as well as a new, very odd google play store bug. Hopefully it will be fixed soon! Enjoy MIUI my friends:D
[Desire 816 General] xxqxpxx:
does the stranded download support a5dug ?
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
I don't know this. The original is made for the Chinese version I believe. Likely it won't work, but there is no harm I'm trying.
[Desire 816 General] yusuf.khan.00:
For Dual Sim.

Hey [MENTION=5815978]the_Victorian[/MENTION] , please port this ROM to dual sim variants. Thanks

Has anyone tried booting the latest build? Hasz's latest 4 or five builds haven't booted...
[Desire 816 General] cocheese101:
Use this zip for the latest builds. It's only for a5_chl. Change the build.prop to whatever date build your using.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/2kv4fyu3l75lwoo/Miui_chl1.zip
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
The latest builds never pass the HTC screen for me indicating it's a boot.img issue. Have you tried it?
[Desire 816 General] cocheese101:
Yeah. I made the zip file. Had to modify the boot.img. Been using it for a while now.
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
Dude that's awesome! I tried to modify it myself but I could never get it to work. Would you mind pm'ing me the process so I could keep it updated and keep the link on this thread updated? Thanks a ton! (Btw I will credit)
[Desire 816 General] cocheese101:
No prob man. At work so gimmie a few hours till I get to my pc.
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
Thanks! How did you get play store working?
[Desire 816 General] cocheese101:
Haven't yet that I know of. It's our working on the newest build?
[Desire 816 General] shantanu223:
A5DUG download link needed.

Please provide the A5_DUG build download link. I am unable to find it in op. I use it as a single sim mode so hopefully it should work for me. Please advice
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
Currently there is no functioning dual sim build. Maybe in the future...
[Desire 816 General] braxton12:
Victorian do you have a copy of the miui v5 build you could post? They aren't linked on the miui site anymore as far as I can tell, and was wanting to try that out since v6 doesn't really work yet on our device.
[Desire 816 General] Ruke25:
MIUI V5

Hey i get in a bootloop with miuiV5. I did put the new build.prop into the zip. any idea what i am doing wrong. Possibly because i am on lollipop? rooted and s-off
[Desire 816 General] braxton12:
It's because the ones linked on the miui site are all v6. They don't have the v5 ones listed anymore.
[Desire 816 General] braxton12:
GUYS I FOUND A FIX FOR THE GAPPS ISSUE!!!!!!!

It's linked on this page, 4th post from the bottom. Also make sure your install location is set to automatic with adb shell pm set-install-location 0

[Desire 816 General] cocheese101:
Great find man. Been wrapping my had around third problem for a while.
[Desire 816 General] Ruke25:
I used the one thats in this thread? So the miui 5 thats posted in this thread no longer works on the 816? Am i missing something here?:confused:
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
When I get the chance I will upload v5 through google docs or something but I won't be available to do that for a day or two. Sorry for the inconvenience!
[Desire 816 General] Ruke25:
Alright thank you!

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

I am sorry if this is a really dumb question but can we update through miui or are we stuck on base version of 6?
[Desire 816 General] braxton12:
Probably not. Updating will probably overwrite the build.prop and boot.img which means you'll get nothing but boot loops.
[Desire 816 General] Ruke25:
Alright good to know.

Also another issue i just had. My phone restarted and my signal was gone. no data no anything. The rom was flawless until this point. I was using textra with the virgin mobile mms apu. (because no mms) I restored my stock backup mo signal again. Just compeleted a RUU my service is now working again. Its to bad because this rom is so fast and effecient. This happened pretty much an hour after i setup textra and installed snapchat.

anyone else have this issue?
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
That's odd. I have been using the lastest v6 build with the patch by cocheese101 and the gapps fix with no issues for about 5 hours except for 1 random reboot. I seem to recall someone having that issue with another ROM....
[Desire 816 General] Ruke25:
yeah it was around 24 hours and i had no reboots that i know of until it happened. I wonder if it was on textra's end. i really dont know.
[Desire 816 General] braxton12:
Been using this as my daily driver since I found that GP fix and the only issues I've found are third party app notifications can be moody (eg, facebook, snap chat, kik don't always notify) and facebook messenger chat heads don't work. This could be because I'm running xposed too, but food for thought if anyone is considering coming back to this.
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
I was running it for about 3 days but I got too many reboots. Did you face any reeboot issues?
[Desire 816 General] braxton12:
No reboots so far.
[Desire 816 General] braxton12:
So two things

1. After using it as my daily driver off and on for a while, I've noticed a few things so far:

​

Different things may or may not work each time you flash this. I've swapped back and forth between my InsertCoin backup and this, and sometimes data works on this rom, sometimes it doesn't; sometimes notifications from third party apps work, sometimes they work when the app is open in the background (recents), sometimes they don't at all; sometimes the gallery and google photos will find your photos, sometimes they won't. If you run into any of these, just wipe and reflash and that might fix it.

​

Also, battery readings glitch sometimes after rebooting. I've had it at say, 50% before, rebooted, and then it dropped down to 10 in that time. Most of the time this doesn't happen though.

2. When they bring-up MIUI to Lollipop/M (I've heard rumors they might skip L altogether except for phones like the Mi Note that already have it), if this device is brought up too, do you plan on working on getting a port running again?
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
The Developer Hasz has realeased MIUI v7 for the 816 on the chinese website. I will port this to a5_chl soon. Link:

http://www.miui.com/download-264.html
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
As for question #2, it all depends if we get Cyanogenmod 13 Marshmallow. That is required for both hasz to build from source, and if he stops building, for me to port and/or build from source. It's not looking good though since Grarack stepped down as our Cyanogenmod maintainer. Unless someone else takes over, were not getting Marshmallow cyanogenmod or Marshmallow based MIUI....
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
I finished and posted the MIUI v7 For a5_chl! Feedback is appreciated!
[Desire 816 General] braxton12:
Downloaded, backing up and flashing now.

Is v7 kitkat base or lollipop base for our device?
[Desire 816 General] the_Victorian:
Unfortunately still KitKat as far as I can tell, but with the heavy MIUI skin it hardly matters :)
[Desire 816 General] braxton12:
In all honesty kinda makes me happy its still kitkat XD

more space lol
