Correct me if I'm wrong (and I would love to be), but doesn't using something like my backup pro restoring system settings defeat the purpose of wiping data/cache?
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:
Don't think so, i use it all the time after wiping w no issues. After all u.are restoring system settings, sense and such.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thecodemonk:
Titanium backup does restore other settings as well if you choose them. After a wipe, I restore apps+data or data only for built in apps on an individual basis. This seems to work better and makes it easier to know what causes a problem and needs to be redone from base/cache wiped or whatever rather than redoing the whole phone. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
Ok cool, so will this restore game saves too? My gf almost killed me when I rooted her phone cuz she lost like 15 levels she completed on some game, and I'm going to have to wipe her phone again for this upgrade lol.

Edit: What are the merits of Mybackup pro over titanium backup?
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:
Not sure about games bro sorry, but i would think it saves their.data too. I tried using titanium and i didn't like it. Been using mybackuppro since the G1 and i love it, pretty much (IIRC)one click to restore data, two clicks to restore apps, it links then to the market too, and everything wil be on your home page like it was when u backed up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:
Just checked robo defense and it didn't save its game data.
[EVO 4G Android Development] marcosowns:
First of all I am using version 3.2.1.

I'm not sure if this problem has been documented, I did a quick search and didn't find anything. Anyway has anyone experienced that when the phone is put into "Airplane Mode" that the battery begins to drain rapidly? I used SystemPanel and I was able to confirm that DCUpdater and system were the culprits and that my CPU was operating at 100% while the phone was not in use. I then banned DCUpdater and CPU usage went down to less than 2% when the phone was not in use. Can anyone else confirm this?

Edit: I looked over my logs and it appears that the CPU was only operating at 100% when the screen was on. That is still unusual since with the DCUpdater being banned with the screen on I can still see it go down to 10% on a consistent basis. With the screen off and DCUpdater not banned the CPU would hang around 10%, versus .5 to 1.5% with DCUpdater banned.
[EVO 4G Android Development] myndwire:
man, there seems to be a LOT in this OTA... new modules, a ton of diffs for apps, and a radio update. it seems they've fixed a heck of a lot of things as well as improved some big stuff too. i'm psyched for these to make their way into DC.. one step closer to perfect!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kamiller42:
Well, that's disappointing.

My concern with these backup programs and restoring is restoring anything "system" related. I didn't want to restore system data and basically undo the wiping process. But, you have had no problems with MyBackup Pro restoring everything. That's good.

This is a problem with the updaters code.

I maintain updates for other devs and this was also a problem. In the newer versions of my updaters and the cm updaters it should have been fixed but this updaters is an old version from back when they were doing the hero.

UGHHH soo frustrating... every time I update without wiping my up time and awake time are matching - aka battery is draining badly ... ANY ideas without wiping? It's a pain in the ass having to treat it like a new phone once a week...

This goes for anyone interested in backup info, check my sig for a guide I wrote on this topic. TrevE also updated his post #2 in this thread to link to the guide. It should have damn near everything you need. But feel free to let me know if I've missed something with a comment on that thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rigg419:
If you back up using titanium backup, handy backup (for sms and call logs), then the only thing you have to do is manually click install on the apps that TB restores, takes about 5 minutes. Also, I think if you get the paid version, it auto restores your apps.

yeah dcupdater has some kinks, just ban it in banned apps if its a cause of grief.

Damage is back sometime this week, updater was really his department. Still working on the new OTA, keep in mind i do have a full time job im at now that kinda comes first, Doing the best i can by myself here...
[EVO 4G Android Development] a2k:
Thanks for all the hard work!

[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
busted....somebody didn't read post #2. he took it out. if you want, I have a host file you can replace yours with that should do the trick.
[EVO 4G Android Development] StillSound:
I know this was brought up about 100 or some odd pages ago, but the problem arises again, for me.

Wifi-Tether.

In chronological order;

I installed the latest radio.

I tried the new Hero's Froyo ROM or something, and didn't like it so I restored back to trusty ole DamageControl. But apparently I backed up before I fixed the WiFi problem I had before and forgot how I did it. (I'm an idiot..)

Then I installed the new kernel that manipulates that 30fps cap into avg of 50fps on the Nova (forget what the screen is called exactly, not Epson) hardware.

That's all..

I can't get my tether working again. I have Wireless Tether for Root Users ver 2.0.5-pre2 (Masterblaster). I've tried uninstalling, but I can't uninstall the app since it's embedded in the ROM. I've downgraded the app to previous versions, tried the experimental one on their website. Nothing.

As of right now, I open the app up and tap to start tethering. "Unable to start tethering. Please try again!"

The other $9 Tether WiFi app doesn't even open up, just force closes.

Is the radio the potential problem? Does the DC 3.2.1 resolve this issue I'm having right off the bat?

I apologize if this has been reported and resolved many days/weeks ago, but I'm just hoping someone can help me out. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
have you tried uninstalling it with titaniumbackup or root explorer and then reinstalling?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nief1313:
Im at 3.2 if i update to 3.2.1 will this remove all my themes, how everything is set-up?
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
WiFi Tether

Trev,

Have you considered taking out Wifi Tether of any future builds? It seems to give people more and more problems, and maybe just like adblock people should download it themselves if they want it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joey3002:
or people could just learn to work through the issues and not be hand held :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] clamknuckle:
Why take it out? It works fine for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] beerock:
I used root explorer to delete the android.tether from both system/app and data/app then reinstall wifi tether....worked for me
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
Anyone else up-time and awake time the same?
[EVO 4G Android Development] StillSound:
That fixed it. Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.

Not sure if it matters, but the version I installed 2.0.2 pre 14.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frank828:
nm. guess i just needed to wait a couple hours for my fb contacts to show up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ThornXBL:
I had to use Titanium Backup to uninstall and then restore (APP only, no data) to get Wireless Tether to work. Until I did that, it force closed every time i tried to start the tether.
[EVO 4G Android Development] koikaze:
Tried to update to 3.2.1 via dcupdate and ay the recovery screen I got a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. At which point it froze. After reboot was stuck on first loadscreen and had to wipe flash 3.2.0 ... any ideas?

[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
I had that issue...bite the bullet and do a full wipe and reflash, but you might as well wait until the next release comes out tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nief1313:
anyone use the geniewidget? I can't find it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] runner77:
Question...

If I do a full wipe before updating to the new DC version that is coming out tonight (hopefully), would it be best to restore just my apps with Titanium Backup or should I restore apps + system info?? By restoring the system info, does this defeat wiping?

This question was asked a few posts back but I wasn't clear on the answer.

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
you don't want to do the batch restore apps + system data b/c yes it would defeat the purpose of the wipe. If you are feeling brave/patient you can restore all apps and then restore their data (either a few or a lot) 1 by 1 if you feel like troubleshooting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] VoXHTC:
The easiest thing to do, to ensure you avoid all problems, is to wipe system/data and wipe dalvik-cache - flash the update zip from your SD Card and reinstall all your apps manually.

I've been down all the other roads and starting "clean" or with a "Fresh" install has NEVER given any issues.

Yes installing your apps one by one sucks, though you'll find you forgot a few and didn't need them anyway. You'll have set everything back up manually in your Exchange etc..

You'll get a rhythm. I can do 26 apps and exchange settings, customize the phone settings and all 7 screens w/ widgets in about 10 minutes.. No problem.

All those backup apps bringing over "old" system settings and what not cause more harm then good. ( well they "can") and in the time it takes you to recover from that, I could have flashed 3 ROMs and been making phone calls.
[EVO 4G Android Development] enealDC:
This is a great ROM. I love the photo gallary. Great job!

I did notice however that my signal on this ROM seems really bad though. I tested by restoring a back of Fresh ROMs and when I did so, I had full bars. Going back to Damage I had no bars.. I use one of the tweaks and go to Laptop mode. I'm going to wait for the next update and try reflashing again.

Thanks again for the great work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheBiles:
Get the donate version of Titanium Backup for one-click restore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nief1313:
Yea, I had seen that it was added in damgecontrol 3.2 but i couldnt find it either
[EVO 4G Android Development] runner77:
itmustbejj & VoXHTC,

Thank you both for the quick response and information.

VoXHTC - I've only had the phone for a couple of weeks and I'm already fairly quick with manually re-downloading and setting up my apps. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
Similar argument could be used for any app that was in DC but questioned as to whether to leave or take out. I think for almost any app that can be downloaded from Marketplace you might as well just leave it out of custom ROMs and let people install themselves. It is so much easier to let people update apps themselves or through marketplace than through ROM updates. Not to mention it would alleviate comments about those apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mongoose8p:
weird i had some time so i did full wipe and its still there... wtf
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
Comments *****ing to include them would replace comments about issues so it would be a wash. The adfree hostfile was removed b/c some ppl had moral dilemmas about it as it blocked ads that get devs paid. Seeing as wifi tether is one of the number one reasons ppl root their phone at all, I'd say it is reasonable to include it. There was a bad version of wifi tether that got included several releases ago, and there was an extremely simple fix for it. I don't see what the issue is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] clamknuckle:
mongoose, how long are you letting it sit before checking awake time. let it sit for 30-60 seconds before checking again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] itmustbejj:
you wiped data and cache? If so, try reading on post #2 about dcpowertop and the top -n 1 -t shell commands. Those should help you track down the rogue process(es) that is causing your wake issues and we can go from there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
I'm not sure it is quite a wash but since that point is difficult to prove or disprove it is moot. The way I see it, the devs and users of this ROM should be supporting the ROM, not third party apps that already have other support groups.

The bad version that snuck in would seem to fit my argument better wouldn't it? If that app was left out to begin with that problem would of never surfaced and multiple pages of comments would be sparred.

I guess I don't really care one way or the other since I know how to remove the APK myself. I figured it would save the devs time from having to make sure they always have the newest version in their updates. And save those us time from having to deal with the app when it doesn't work for us after flashing an update or newer ROM version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nief1313:

man, i just did that OTA on my wife's stock evo... it's pretty in-depth. ~4 restarts (i'm assuming one every time it has to remount a filesystem, or diff a series of files), which is crazier than the first one. in the end, it borked a bunch of widgets and they all had to be replaced, which sort of sucks too. overall, it did indeed fix the screen-related stuff stock units were experiencing, although i have to look into a full bugfix list to check out some more that's been done. i hope this is the last OTA until fr0y0 to be honest :)
