http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=459830&highlight=infernix You can look at that. Entire thread on nandroid. Honestly whether you think its useful or not is based on personal preference. It's possible to backup the ext partition by just doing a simple "adb pull /system/sd" and a simple "adb pull /data/data" will backup all your app data but nandroid is just more efficient. Read through the first couple of pages and last couple of pages in that thread and you'll have a better understanding of why we consider it our holy grail. Cheers :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Kyros_:
Since you say Nandroid doesn't back-up apps. but Back-up for Root users does then would the apps. that I back-up using BRU show as installed in Market/My downloads if I wipe?, or would I have to redownload them from Market...the reason why I ask this is because I paid for two apps. on my old Gmail account and was able to switch them to my new one but I'll lose them or basically have to buy them again if I wipe.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrooklynAvi:
I use ASTRO to back up my apps. I don't think it shows up in the Market unless you backup Market data. I use aTrackDog to track updates to my files. When I reinstall apps, I do it via ADB or a file manager like ASTRO or Linda. I have the APKs backed up (even the paid ones, go ROOT!). The Market seems very forgetful when you wipe. I have to do another build anyway since my phone just crashed. Which brings me to an off topic question regarding apps to SD for which I will open a new thread. My phone keeps crashing and I think it's my apps to SD method.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
The purchased apps will stay but any free apps will not, unless you backup and push your market.db back :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
You can backup your market.db. Backup for Root Users lets you do this :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Kyros_:
I know the purchased apps will stay but the problem is I didn't purchase them from the Gmail account that I'm on now I purchased them from my original Gmail account so if I wipe they might still show up in Market/My downloads but I'll have to purchase them again so that's why I asked if you use BRU will they reinstalled them and show in Market/My download as installed or will I have to reinstall them myself from Market/My download if they show up?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
If you install them using BRU they won't show on market under my downloads
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyonas:
I saw this and looked because I've wondered myself. I recently managed my first backup restoration and it took a few tries. To combat the losing apps on your ext partition I found (yes, through hours of research ... honest) the easiest solution is to use one card for one firmware and switch cards if I want to flash or use another. That way I have all the apps for that particular firmware. It isn't the ideal solution but cards are cheap enough to do it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrooklynAvi:
Like the solution, sort of

Dyonas, I like your solution. By keeping two SD cards it solves a lot of issues. However, so far I have not been given a detailed response of what exactly happens with a Nandroid backup. Let's assume that I have two identical SD cards with identical partitions and something goes wrong when I do something with the phone. If I do a Nadroid restore and put in the "stable" SD card (remember, for arguments sake, they are identical in every which way minus the last minute corruption), would that essentially restore it to like new? If I didn't have identical SD cards, what exactly would be restored (I understand apps do not get restored)?

Again, I am fine with my method of restoring but I think this would be a tremendous help for the community as a whole if someone could actually say what it is that happens with the restore. I will continue with my nightly Nandroid backups just in case I need them (which has happened once). But simply saying Nandroid is "amazing" or a "must" doesn't explain anything.

Thanks all.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
Nandroid backups are stored onto your sdcard. They don't change anything on your phone. The backup stays there until you want to use it. When you do use it to restore it restores you're phone to the exact way it was when you did the backup. It doesn't matter where the nandroid backup is unless you are using cyanogen's 1.4 image and are recovering from the recovery menu. In that case you would have to move the nandroid folder to your other sdcard. Hope I answered your question :) Look in dream android development for the switchrom.sh script. Backups everything included ext partition and you can easily restore it from recovery console.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrooklynAvi:
Tells the how, but not the what [SOLVED]

I fully understand how to backup and restore. But you said what everybody else use saying that it restores your phone to the way it was when you backed up the phone. But what exactly is restored is the question. Data? Cache? Apps? Settings? Etc. I know apps seen't but is the app data. The one nandroid restore that I performed did not seem to help me much in terms of my settings and app data. However, I have my methods using several programs and will continue my nightly nandroid backups until I figure it all out. Thanks. I will mark this as solved. If someone cares to write a detailed post on this they can just start a new thread.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
EVERYTHING except apps. App data, everything on your /system. Everything except apps. Your app data won't restore unless the apps are already installed. It's that simple. Don't know why its so hard to understand.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrooklynAvi:
[SOLVED]

Okay. That makes sense. I was wondering why my app data wasn't restored after a restore. But according to what you said the app needs to be installed first (which doesn't make too much sense). All I know is that I did a nandroid restore and it did not restore some of my settings which were definitely in the backup. It's no big deal. I will run a few restores to test for myself. I just didn't like the answer that every kept giving which was "everything" which explains nothing. But i am pretty sure I understand it now and one or two restores should give me a complete picture.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devsk:
You may wanna have a look at switchrom.sh that I posted sometime back. Its a wrapper around nadroid and does backup apps/dalvik cache folders from ext partition. And it allows you to name your backups with convenient names like 'cyano-3.6.8.1-stable-myfav-setupped', and then list/delete and restore your named backups.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devsk:
It should be in my sig now.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrooklynAvi:
I will definitely check out the script as soon as I'm near my laptop. From what you have described it sounds great. In truth, between the various backup and restore methods I'm never really more than 30 minutes to an hour away from having my phone back to normal. I just prefer to understand everything I do rather than just be a puppet. I will (hopefully) report back on what I think. Thanks.

Hi everybody.

Today i sent a message (E-Mail via Pop3 and smtp) to a friend.

It was a longer mail, about 40 or 50 lines.

I sent it to him, and at the same time to me via bcc, just to control.

After i received my own message i see, that this one was cutted after 2 sentences and the rest is gone?

I sent the same message 3 times and only after the 4th time, the message was sent completely?

The same issue i got on my Kaiser and i hoped that this is fixed.

Someone got the same problem, or can tell me how to fix it?

Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HobGoblin2006:
No one an idea?

I tried now several times with alway the same Mail.

it is always the same point, were my mail gets cutted off.

Between 2 sentences. I thought it can be an invisible letter like an html Tag, which causes the cut?

Some idea?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HobGoblin2006:

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hivesnl:
Hello everyone,

Today i installed my parrot bluetooth carkit. And after i connected a couple of times my phone became unstable.

So unstable that i'm not able to tap the screen.....

I don't know what happened due that i have hard resetted the phone a couple of times and even switched from m-rom to energyrom 3.0 with the same results.

Only one thing that was strange is that the touch pro start up screen with the red characters in the right bottom.

That after i flashed m-rom to energy rom that the touch pro characters in the middle were still different like the way that are made in m-rom. With the addition : powered by m-rom

So this means that the phone doesnt format his core :confused:

Help please give me any advice.

UPDATE:When backlight is dimmed, it will be bright if i touch it once. Afterwards it will maintain the same.

I have tried several roms and tried to restore my SPL aswell, without any results till now.

I'm getting desperate now. Due that i stays in the screen of ALLIGNMENT, so i'm really not able to start up anything from now.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fone_fanatic:
Have you dropped your device recently?

Try flashing a stock/shipped rom and hard-reset when after flashing the rom when you get to the "Tap here to set up your device" screen.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hivesnl:
I have a OIL spot in the screen when i keep it in bright light.

This could be occured when the phone was inside my bag during my beach visit.....

I guess the phone turned liquid by the sun....

Does somebody ever experienced the same issue?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hivesnl:
I have a oil spot, and the raster of the phone with little dots in visible in the ligt.

I have made a repair order at HTC.

Which didn't satisfy me at all!

They told me that it is not covered by warranty. I was shocked, this will cost me around 70 euro to fix, and my shop warranty is still valid. So i called the shop to explain this.

And they said if this is not caused by a user, we will change the phone, but first we what to have a diagnose from HTC.

So i decided to let HTC pick up my phone . They will have a repair time of 5 up till 10 days.

That's fair, but i'm not really happy with this situation. Because i think that the screen is the most harmful component. And this means that if this part fails that my phone becomes obsolete.

I will post my conclusion after i got my phone repaired.

I will return to the STOCK spl and the original rom just for warranty purposes.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fone_fanatic:
dont tell them that you spilt anything on it or dropped it. Although they will be able to tell if there is water damage to the device you might get lucky and they won't notice.

Now is the oil spot from leaving it in the sun or suntan lotion getting in the device?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hivesnl:
Nope nothing happened at all.

Thats the strange thing about this situation.

I was in the shadow of the sun and the bags were only filled with clothes. So it didn't drop or something else.

I was able to use my phone during the day.... and was getting more unresponsive during the time that went by.

So i will not accept any blame of myself, due that i have a warranty of 1 year from the factory which will not cover your display :S

But also have the store warranty... So i told the store that i will return the phone if there are any costs.

The store told me that they will wait on the diagnose of HTC which i have sent it to myself to reduce the time.

If the diagnose tells that it's not my fault, then i can return my phone probably.... He couldn't promise it due that i want to see the diagnose first.

So I will wait on HTC's conclusion.... And i'm afraid that they will try to blame me for it....

They better not ;) I will be a pain in there arses
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Magicmarx:
Hello, I have exactly the same problem. After flashing from energyrom 3.0 to Aurora, a few hours later, i couldn't get my phone out of lock. (slide a button to the right or left on your touchscreen)

I tried a soft reset, but the phone started up with the same locked screen. So, i tried a hard reset. From that moment on i got stuck at "align screen". I ve flashed several times with several ROM's but nothing. (by the way, whatever rom i install, the first screen always says: Energyrom by NTGZ28)

I used the trick to paste welcome.not on the micro card, to bypass the align screen. That works, but the touch screen doesn't work. I 've removed the protection of the screen, but that doesn't make a difference either. My device didn't fall, came into contact with water or anything that could harm the thing. Oh, when the backlight is dimmed, the screen reacts to tapping it. Please help me out ??

resolt the issue. Because of a lot scraches (spelled ok?), i removed the protective screen. When i put the new screen on, everything worked !

Thanks
[Touch Pro CDMA] cbreze:
This ? gets asked alot and the response is usually to try for yourself because for one thing the rom cooks all work very hard at their craft and it's not fair to rate their work as one being better for whatever reason. Also what one person prefers in their own rom on their device is diff from what someone else likes. I have tried them all and they all show excellence in their crafting. I have found I prefer the lighter roms, but not always. I have many saved on my laptop and go back and forth alot between them. I would suggest you read up on the rom threads and then choose your first, after that try some more, saving ones you like. Alot of excellent chefs hang here and I for one appreciate each and every one as they have made my phone experience full of innovation. Enjoy your tp. It is an awesome device and when it starts feeling mundane.......New ROM Time!!!

[Touch Pro CDMA] drdrewdown:
i have tried a handful of different roms on my cdma touch pro. most of them at ppcgeeks.

my favs (no particular order)

Calkulins Custom WM6.5 Rhodium

NRGZ28 Energy Series Roms

NFSFAN's WM6.5 Rhodium Manilla Rom

a few i've tried which arent bad at all, just felt the above were better:

SsS Series Roms

Psyki Roms

have not been a fan of the: (sry guys) (i admit it was a while ago the last time i tried them)

juicy roms

mighty roms

i completely agree with bryan on his post tho. i appreciate every bit of work these guys do to release to us the "best" experience possible on our phones. every single one of them deserves major props & gratitude for their hard work & time/effort. dont be afraid to donate a small amount to these guys if you appreciate what they are doing. i think HTC/MS should hire most of these guys b/c their work is incredible & often times better than what the manufacturer does.

p.s. it would be great if you didnt't capitalize every first letter. it makes it really hard to read especially when u accidently hold shift for the 2nd letter also :D
[Touch Pro CDMA] afripino:
I personally am a fan of Juicy 8 and MightyROM 6. They are both great speedy, stable, and dependable ROMs. As others have said, to each his own and you just have to take the plunge and try a few out till you're happy. Good luck and happy flashing!

Wondering if anyone's experienced better battery life with one over another. Batttt life or lack of it is my only real issue. Using a 2000mAh and still charging twice daily.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Motorious:
I've experimented with many ROMS and battery life. Although the ROM itself is quite bare...the collaboration between Mighty and Silence (which can be found on ppcgeeks) seemed to give me the best battery life. Although I absolutely loved EnergyRom, it gave me the worst battery life (out of approximately 7 different ROMS I flashed). I personally use NFSfan's ROM's...seems to have the best balance.

Turning Touchflo 3D off certainly helps with battery life. Also, ensure your push e-mail is using imap-idle (outlook e-mail scheduler, System Seven, etc). Lumos apparently helps with battery life (although I have never tried it). Don't keep CPU and Data intensive programs like Skype and Opera open unless you absolutely need to. After comparing with battery monitors (whether this SHOULD be the case or not, I'm not sure) Wifi uses more battery (even with adjusted power settings) than 3G EVDO. Try to increase the interval or eliminate plugins/applications that use the internet to refresh data (i.e. RSS hub, Weather Update apps/plugins).
[Touch Pro CDMA] cbreze:
@Motorious, thanks for the input. I'm really watching it and trying to actually see what is causing the drain. Always close out of programs, etc. It seems it can suddenly become warm with nothing done on my part. I notice it comes out of sleep on it's own sometimes like some thing woke it up. I've tried almost every rom combo and agree while energy is fantastic it does suck it down faster. I tried using a light, no tf3d v. and no really noticable diff. I just have lots of chargers in diff rooms at home, my office and truck so I'm never caught short, just confounded is more like it. I love tweaking/playing with it so no worries, just wish I could figure it out. Could it be the 3g being on all the time? Every thing else is off.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Motorious:
hmm try using a battery monitor such as powerguard or tbattery to see where your drain is coming from.
[Touch Pro CDMA] justjorge86:
EnergyROM 'Aurora' is the best for me. Very fast and stable. As far as I have seen with this build, haven't been able to find any bugs. Also Sprint TV does work in this build. The only disadvantage is battery life, however, there is a folder in the Start Menu on this rom that has modding tools.

Check out EnergyROM 'Aurora'
[Touch Pro CDMA] jviola:
My experience

I tried the following.

Might Rom - Loved it, but I my battery life was terrible.

Warrior ROM - I didn't like it, but the battery life was the best that I experienced.

SsS Rom - It very fast and stable. The battery life was better than Might, but not that good.

Currently using EnergyRom. I really like it. I've only had it installed since yesterday. So far the battery life is a little better than SsS, but not as good as Warrior ROM.

Just my non-scientific 0.02 cents worth.
[Touch Pro CDMA] hpdrifter:
Currently a VZW user with a TP....I have tried several different ROMs and although each one was good and I appreciate the hard work that these guys put into these things, there are different flavors for different people. Here's my assesment:

TFSFAN's....best Rom out here for looks and apps. After running it about a week I started having some issues with Lag, ect. I may go back to this one as It may have just been user error issues here...

DCD's ROM Good and stable rom but very basic and stripped down. If you are looking for just the basics this maybe the way to go....

Energy's ROM....Looks good. But didn't really function the way I wanted it to. I didn't like the touch flow interface on the bottom of the screen. Ran stable though...

Mighty's ROM....currently running for about 4 days. Good and stable. If I can work out a few tweeks this maybe the one to keep! Good apps! Just want to get a few things working and test it a bit longer....

I was flashing CR86 2.5 on my Wizard when my pc reset by himself.

Now my Phone freeze on Spash Screen (where there are the IPL SPL Rom Radio Version).

Activesync doesn't see the phone, but Mtty do.

I know it's in services.jar, and I know that using colorchange wont help because cyanogen's is different from the stock one, so i tried editing it myself, i opened up the dex with baksmali and looked through StatusBarService.smali code but I really can't identify where or how to edit the color for it.
