I'm still running Fresh 1.1. I've been holding off on the upgrade to a 2.1 ROM since I use this phone daily for business, and CAN'T have a ROM that has things missing or broken, or that just has general annoyances that interfere with the usability of the phone. It looks like we finally have some 2.1 ROMs that really are "100%" (there were claims going back awhile ago, but they definitely were not "100%").

My question is: What is the exact upgrade process, and what is the impact of that process? There are tons of threads about these 2.1 ROMs, but none have detailed specific install steps and explain exactly what you're doing. The threads seem to be targeted towards those that have a "disposable" state of their phone, not those that need a consistent and reliable phone.

It seems to be consistent that these upgrades require a factory and dalvik cache wipe. What exactly does that do? I have ~20 apps installed from the market, and they're probably 50/50 paid and free. Will these disappear during the wipe/upgrade process? Will they auto-reinstall from the market? If not, what is the best way to back them up and restore them? What other data will I lose and need to restore after the wipe/upgrade? I'm ready to move to a 2.1 ROM, but can't risk losing data or spending a couple days rebuilding my phone back to a usable state.
[Hero CDMA General] troyboytn:
cmccracken,

I have been running 2.1 based roms since the Eris leak and have been very satisfied and have come to the place that i am currently experiencing no problems, however, I would advise you to wait if you are using your phone for business because all current Sprint based 2.1 roms Damage, Flipz, Regaw, etc) have the potential to leave you with no audio (no audio in calls, rings, notifications). This is a random problem that is not affecting everyone but just know it could happen. Rethink this move until the devs here can fix the audio problem for sure.
[Hero CDMA General] cmccracken:
Yowza, that's scary. It would be nice if ROM dev's would actually list known issues and remove bogus "100%" claims. Flakey audio on a phone for even a portion of users is NOT "100%" by any stretch of the imagination.

I'd still like to see an explanation of the upgrade process, and what the impact to apps and data is.
[Hero CDMA General] troyboytn:
Well, for most people these roms are 100% (just not for a select few and no one knows why yet).

As for impact of data etc. If you upgrade to a 2.1 rom, you will loose everything. All apps will be deleted (although thy can be backed up with Titanium backup, an app on the Market)You can still use your paid apps. All themes will be deleted. All contacts will be deleted, though they will resync as long as you have them backed up through your Google acct. All saved texts and emails will be deleted. This will be a complete wipe and I would strongly advise you to try 2.1 if you were only using your phone for personal use, but business......
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
hello,

when you change firmware versions (1.5 to 2.1) you will need to wipe data. basically start over. everything on the sd card will stay (pictures, music, anything you've downloaded) but all apps and app data will be gone. never fear, your market history will be there still and any paid apps you don't need to pay again. even your free ones should still be in your download history. then after a while your contacts will get pushed from gmail and pretty much all you will need to set up is individual app settings/ custom ringtones/ custom sense setups.

you get used to it after a few times

EDIT: but yes if you use your "phone" a lot for calling you may experience the no-audio (i haven't...yet) and sometimes your phone will ring and then freeze up you won't be able to answer the call. that's irritating
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
first I use my phone to run 2 different businesses and have been running 2.1 since the first eris build with no problems. I would strongly suggest making the change as now we are building off of the actual sprint leaks everything works out of the box. and considering that from the way the 2.1 releases have been for the droid sprints "official" 2.1 will more than likely come in the form of an RUU anyways and you will lose everything. so why not make the switch now.

second yes there are some that have the sound problem but that seems to be the only issue if you use wither damage control or fresh 2.0d the new zen one still needs a fix for the market so that would not be the way for you to go if you dont want to fix it. also just so you know by your logic even the sprint 1.5 release could not be considered "100%" as even it had its bugs and there are people that have issues. you have to understand that we basically have computers in our pockets and with that comes some bugs. hell even the market leader in personal comp OS's (microsoft) just sometimes does not work right on some peoples comps. This is the reality that we live with in a world of tech. in the world of software NOTHING is EVER gaurented to work for 100% of the people 100% of the time. if you can find a company that pulls that off let me know so that I can buy stock. lol

as far as the upgrade process goes it is pretty much the same as when you flashed fresh 1.1 download the zip, put it on the root of your sd card, boot into recovery, choose the wipe option and then choose wipe data/factory rest and wipe dalvick cache, go to the option flash zip from sd, choose the proper file, flash, reboot, enter info, done.
[Hero CDMA General] agentofboom:
1.5 doesn't work 100% either by our standards. Flipz 1.1 is a step in the right direction, but the underlying version of the OS is flawed.

2.1 makes the phone work better, period. Ive tried almost every ROM around for this thing, and I'd have to say the latest Flipz offerings are pretty spot on. I dont have anything not working at this point. Sure there are some minor annoyances, but nothing deal-breaking. Plus when you get used to the process, its easy to update to a new rom or figure it out and patch yourself if you DO find a problem.

Sure there are some having odd issues, but their numbers are low (or theyre not posting) and every problem ive been able to either

A)try wiping and reflashing more than once

B)go back to my old install via backup/recovery (nandroid...recovery image)

The benefits of 2.1 far outweigh the very minor bugs ive encountered . Just getting rid of the laggy moments sold me on the 2.1 v 1.5.

BTW When is a device ever at 100% working? :) Ive never seen it.

[Android Apps and Games] Areinu:
I more or less like how android is managing apps on it's own, but sometimes it's just too random. I want some apps to just keep in memory no matter what.

Sometimes I get out of an app 1, do something in app 2 for 10 minutes then get back to app 1 and it turns on instantly. In other cases I go from app 1 to app 2, do 1 second thing, get back to app 1 and it has to load for 10 seconds because Android already cleared it from memory. When I have to make 1 second jumps a lot and half of the time android decides it has to add me 10 second wait it gets just frustrating.

I've found dozens of task managers, but all they do is let me kill apps manually to free the memory(which I don't really see point of, as the most I cleared was probably about 6 megs) and easily swap between apps. But problem is the swapping is worth nothing if apps have to load every time.

I am just looking for app/a way to force android never to clear memory of chosen apps until I kill them manually. It would do wonders for ebook reader, which sometimes has to open big epubs, and all of them take a while opening it. I might want to add dialer app to it too, as it starts a bit too slow when android decides it's unnecessary in memory.

I know that spare parts can make home screen try to keep in memory, so there should be possibility to force other apps to try to keep in memory, right?

[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Piona:
I ' d like to know if those apps Meteor multitrack and audiobox ( maybe also aurora if you could) work on the HTC mini, knowing that they are meant normally for WVGA, but I' ve been told it could work.

Below the link of the demo, I would be very, very gratefull if any owner here can try the demo as it could be also an opportunity to know if such apps are problemtic on HVGA and tell us if it works properly and if the device doesn't lag while using the apps.

Those are musicians apps as I like to sing and play music :)

Thank you in advance.

[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Piona:
Nobody ?

Guys, I 'm just asking if someone can test those apps - from 4pocket pc and very light and tell if they work well....

that' s all my friends....

I can pay you if you want for the disturbances......5 $ ?

Nobody is owners of the device ?

I don't know where to ask as it is a new smarty.

I want to test meteor, audiobox and aurora from 4pochet pc.

Thanks anyway
[HD2 General] fantasytozi:
Hi guys, I want to ask a question. Has any of you have experience like me when roaming? Does the battery drain faster? Is there some additional programs runs when phone is in roaming state?

I'm using UK network but in Netherlands right now. Before traveling, my battery is at 96% overnight in the morning, but now overnight it's only 90%, and I feel every hour it eats 2% with standby:(. My battery barely last a day with my usual normal use. It's still in the same rom and radio, TouchX and 2.09.

Looking forward to any shares and answer

Thanks a lot in advance guys:D
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
It is probably because it searches out the best available network which your operator deals with, so is handshaking and disconnecting/reconnecting a lot more than on one network.

(just a guess with my knowledge of how cell systems work)
[HD2 General] fantasytozi:
Thanks for ur answer. Maybe there's also another reasons because my phone only chose 1 network provider since I came here. And I rarely saw the searching network icon appeared on the phone:(
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
different operators have different minimum signal strength policies which affects how many towers they have for a given area, could be that it requires a little more power to hold the connection?
[HD2 General] troed:
Definitely YES ! Experienced this in Laos with very poor signal distribution. Ate up 65% of my HD2 in 12 hrs, 55% of my Touch HD and 90% (!!!!!) of my LG-Handy-watch.

Now back home turned to normal (6-10% per 12hrs daytime, 2-3% night-time, all bat-save tweaks from XDA installed)
[HD2 General] carajean:
Yup I experienced this with my G1 all the time. My G1 would die by the end of a work day when doing this.
[HD2 General] fantasytozi:
Thanks guys, so the problem is not my phone, I feel better now:D
[XPERIA X10 General] awtryau89:
Has anyone thought to download the drawing program from motolabs and check to see how well the X10s screen performs? They did a test on the Nexus, Droid, iPhone and others and it was published a few weeks ago. If those that have the phone could try this, I would be interested to see the results.
[XPERIA X10 General] Super_Bob:
have you got a link or do you know what it is called on the market? just checked for digitizer and motolabs but couldnt find anything..
[XPERIA X10 General] sonus:
I don't think there is an app, they just used whatever note taking app was available for each OS as far as I understand it.
[XPERIA X10 General] awtryau89:
http://labs.moto.com/robot_touchscreen_analysis/

Thats the link to the test page. The drawing apps used are listed and SimplyDraw was used for the Nexus and iPhone. I would try that app and see what kind of results you get.
[XPERIA X10 General] sungrad:
@awtryau89 cheers for the web address!

doing the test as they did, but with an app called Draw(er), this is what i got...

the screen seems to perform better when the lines went diagonally down from the right, than diagonally down from the left. also, the far left and right hand sides of the screen don't seem to pick up any input for the last few mms - the left side being the worst.

if anyone else cares to try and see if they get better results, please post it, as it would be nice to see this verified on another x10.

Regardless of the ROM and chef that built it, whats your favourite and why...is it the speed, looks or stability.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Carl1971:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Abandoned-Trolley:
6.1 Nice and fast with zero problems. I don't use too many apps so the finger friendliness of 6.5 isn't much of an attraction to me and I don't like the 'Start' menu layout of it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ZaxXx:
6.1 - fast, stable, supports drag&drop (in Total Commander/CE), has start menu with recent programs, it's easier to select items in listboxes (item is highlighted when you tap&hold on it so you know what are you selecting, this is overrided by scrolling in 6.5), has moveable msgbox windows (still can be dismissed like in 6.5 by tapping on the window content, you don't have to aim for OK/X), unlike 6.5.5 it is possible to run Wisbar Advance on 6.1 (and 6.5) to have icons of running programs right on taskbar, 6.5.5 doesn't support programs with toolbars (I had problems with Total Commander/CE - no start/close visible, icons too big so they didn't fit).

And yes - I like Total Commander/CE :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KeyBee:
24006 - 6.5.3 - no manila and htc stuff - titanium only. best battery-life, relatively good speed

28232 - 6.5.5 - no manila and htc stuff - titanium only. good battery-life, god speed

6.1 + Manila 2.1 - best combo for manila roms... relatively fast, but compared to win-only device... you think that it freezed sometimes when you are waiting for manila contacts, which are worse and unglier than win 6.5.* by default.

Depends on your needs... if you like social network engine, take manila one but choose faster and older sys. If you want to work and run programs mostly on your phone, then i recommend win-only rom. The best (and nearly only) way how to obtain it is to cook it. Try the Ervius kitchen here, it is ok - after 2-3 evenings you have your own baby-rom :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] simplistian:
is it good to set up another poll for UI shell choices for reference for chefs? like manila 2.1, sense 2.1, sense 2.5, titanium, clean (for spb mobile shell)...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bodisson:
Have tried a lot of ROMs of all flavors, but I somehow always end with some variant of 6.1

I still might choose some 6.5.x variant (currently have an eye on Miniterror's Ravage and Wajk's blackSTONEhenge)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] drizo72:
I use 6.5.5.24001 titanium.

Pros: Very stable, fast, no memory management problems, very good battery life, polished graphics, finger friendly.

Cons: Some programs have problems with bottom toolbar, but such is life!

By the way, here is a good tip for handling the non-visible ok/close button: Just map it to the tap and hold function of the call button! This way, when you have an app that won't display properly, simply tap and hold the call button until the app is closed/minimized!

Bottom Line: 24001 is really rock solid in terms of memory management, thus I prefer this over a more compatible/conventional OS that has to be restarted every two days due to memory leaks!

Enjoy!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] goldlocke:
It's either WM6.1 & Sense 2.5 or WM6.5.5 & Sense 2.1 for me.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] first_damned:
What wm6.1 and sense 2.5 rom are you using?

I like to use 6.5 with sense 2.5, as the windows 6.5 is stable and sense 2.5 has now got quicker on roms
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zen_livin:
i like windows 6.1 more bug free than 6.5.5

but 6.5.5 have nice bottom toolbar... more fingger friendly i think

Stupid things in 6.5 & 6.5.x

Despite some minor improvement in 6.5 and 6.5.x in compare with 6.1, it’s so strange to me why Microsoft always forget some basic assumptions and doing very stupid modifications?! For example I cannot understand why in 6.5 and 6.5.x drop down start menu which is contained recent opened application is missed, while it was so useful!

Another Foolishness thing is the new lock screen! Why instead of locking the home screen or today screen which is contained user required information, a new lock screen created? And then due to the shortage of information in lock screen many developers are working to make it as complete as possible!? Also why there is a lock button just in Start menu page? If it’s useful to be available, why it does not exist in other pages?

Anyway, it’s always been fault of Microsoft! Day after day creating new things, but loosing basic concepts like ease of usage and simplicity. You can see this matter from moving from XP to Vista and then to W7!

I wish somebody were exists in Microsoft to listen to the customers carefully and check their ideas by himself.

What is the difference between [rom] -tattoo eclair 2.1 [wip] and this rom?
[Click Android Development] gengaro:
Am I wrong or you're including some packages which should be bought on the Market?

Beautiful Widgets and Twidroid are considered warez, so this ROM should be removed from this forum as it contains non-legal software.

More than that, there's no difference in your ROM and the ROM which is being developed by others in the other thread, and here you give no credits to anyone even if it's clear that you've done nothing but adding some illegal apks.
