This may answer your question. Also for anyone reading, this approach fixed my space issue as well.

I made a backup of all my current data using nandroid.

wiped cache

wiped data/factory reset

Installed b003 ROM

This approach will set your phone up as if you just opened it out of the box. You will have none of your data or programs. The only difference is you are using the b003 ROM without all the At&t junk. It runs so much faster (at least it seems) using this approach.

Also when doing this I now have 125 mb free of space. Before when i just installed the rom without wiping I only had 104 mb of free space. This is with the exact same programs and data after i backed some information up and restored with Titanium backup.

Hope this helps.

I do love this ROM and can't wait for a working FROYO build! Keep up the great work guys.

Anybody else not seeing the web browser when you press and hold the home key? Used to work fine but seems to have stopped working after I loaded b005.

To be clear, I can run the browser app fine, it just doesn't show up when I press and hold the home key, even if I just swapped away from it.

Anyone else seen this and/or know of a fix?
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
It's working fine for me.
[HTC Aria Android Development] stepashka:
Thanks to you guys! I've successfully flushed rom, got root permissions, enabled untrusted sources :). Appreciate your help!

I have one more query though.. Does anyone know how to add locale support? I mean locale that is not listed in menu. I'm having issues reading russian fonts.

Update: just found out that this is not locale problem. The only program having issues with russian font - music player. all the rest is fine. Going to install something else.
[HTC Aria Android Development] NotATreoFan:
Please post all ROM-specific issues in the appropriate ROM thread. Merging into the Liberated thread for you this time.

However, if people continue to ignore the rules of development threads, I will have no choice to start banning people. Please do not make it come to this. There have been numerous warning given out in Aria Development, and it is mentioned in the forum announcement at the top of every page.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

pptp vpn problem with liberated 03-05

After I rooted my aria with liberated 03 or 05, my vpn client cannot connect to a vpn server. It worked fine with the factory rom. Is this a problem with the liberated rom or some settings on my phone? It looked normal on the vpn server site. It said it was connected, but I got disconnected after about 30 seconds.

I am currently running b005. I was trying to get ad hoc wifi to work, and I managed to bork my Wifi. To fix this, can I re-install b005 on top of my existing b005 without having to wipe, or lose anything?

Thanks for the help.
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
About twice daily my touch driver stops responding and no longer allows me to input text until I restart my phone. Has anyone experienced this issue??

I've experienced this on both 003 & 005.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tilt4life2:
Just want to bring this up and see if anyone else ran into the problem.

I am using B003 and when I am in landscape typing, I get an error sometimes saying the keyboard had a problem. I can still type, but the text won't show up. But if I switch to portrait, then I can see the text I typed while in landscape and I can also type normally while in portrait (meaning I can see the text I type). But if I go back to landscape, again, I can type, but it won't show up in landscape and it will in portrait. This happened to me 4 times today. I think it fixed itself or I had to turn phone off and back on.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Scought:
ok so your Rom's work but why does me IM no longer work? If you guys are posting half assed ROM's whether you put in the time or not it aint worht a sh*t in my opinion. Why is my IM gone dead boys? You can do better than this.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdkelley53:
You are rude. Build your own.
[HTC Aria Android Development] OutsiderWV:
That is pretty messed up. These guys make these ROMs for nothing and don't have to share them or upload them for anyone else. They do it to better the android community and our experience with the platform. If you don't want to use them flash your ROM back to stock and quit leaving crappy messages. Your an un-grateful a$$.

That is all. I appreciate what the guys are doing and I am extremely looking forward to the CM6 FROYO port.
[HTC Aria Android Development] IpDo:
Great ROM!

Got my ARIA today and within 30 min I had Liberated (05) on.

Any chance that it will be deodexed?

Thank you!
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Please just ignore the 1 post troll. He has no clue what he's even talking about.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
We're neck deep in a CM6 FroYo port right now, but I have already looked at deodexing. At some point, maybe, but the end result will be a split, something more custom.

I really don't want to fool with the liberated_aria ROMS too much, they're pretty much stock HTC experiences, just unlocked. Anything carrying the liberated_aria name will keep in that tradition - meaning very minimal updates.
[HTC Aria Android Development] IpDo:
The "problem" with the CM6 or the clean 2.1 is that they come without Sense..

a Deodex rom will allow modifications for RTL languages fixes (that actually already part of CM6) and adding a new UI language for the whole system.

anyway,

Thanks for all the hard work :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
tilt4life, there are a ton of us using this ROM now, and haven't had any such issues. What other keyboard software is loaded? Did you load Swype?

It's easy to blame a ROM for an issue, but I can assure you I changed absolutely nothing on the B003 ROM that would affect keyboard input (or anything else for that matter) or that would detract in any way from a stock experience. If you're having trouble, fine, it happens, but the trouble is most certainly not introduced by B003.

To try to clear the problem, do a nandroid backup, then do a wipe data/factory reset to see if the trouble clears. If it does, you can restore your nandroid backup, then try just wiping cache and dalvic cache.

If you have a persistent trouble that does not clear with a full wipe, and a reflash of a ROM with the MD5 checked, then you probably have a hardware problem.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Yeah, well Sense adds nothing of real value to 2.2 as far as I can see. In fact, I really don't like it one iota for a myriad of reasons. One of my largest gripes is that the People app is a really poor subsitute for the AOSP contacts app. Another is that sense goes far too deep into the framework to roll out updates in a timely manner. We may well be able to roll out a stable Android 2.2 months before HTC/AT&T does. The Aria will be my everyday phone once I can dump Sense once and for all.

I realize that others like Sense, and I will see what I can do to deodex the Sense ROM, but at that point, it's going to be far from stock, so it's going to get a new default theme and a new name and some other nifty new features, like an alternate launcher and a decent contacts app. The original HTC launcher and apps will still be there and available, but the AT&T apps are gone forever, unless someone takes the trouble to restore them.
[HTC Aria Android Development] anika200:
What version of busybox is included or where can I find this information? Also is there a change log posted somewhere?

The reason I am asking is because I am trying out Titanium Backup and it wants/suggests to install a specific version.

By the way this is a great rom, thank you.
[HTC Aria Android Development] NotATreoFan:
I'm really disappointed that you chose to make your first post on XDA so negative. Consider this your first and last warning before receiving a short vacation. All chefs work very hard on their ROMs and even if one was released with a bug, I can guarantee that it was not intentional.

The Aria is a new device, and is still going through growing pains with respect to ROM cooking. Combine that with people installing 3rd party applications, and issues are bound to ensue.
[HTC Aria Android Development] guido.rosso:
Looks like a reboot fixed this for me!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
Did you figure this one out? I'm having troubles with my GPS and it seems to be related to the settings.db too.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tilt4life2:
I was just interested to see if anyone else experienced this problem. I went the whole day today without experiencing it so I will keep you updated on the situation. I haven't added any additional items outside of Pandora, GoogleMaps update, and new wallpapers to screen lock and home screen.

I am still very very happy with B005 so thank you for your hard work.

Carrier unlock

Sorry for the newb question but I am one. I have the Liberated ROM running well, Thank you very much! Does this mean I can use other carriers SIM cards? I am leaving for Moscow on Monday so I need to be sure I can use my МегаФон card.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mrandyp69:
No. Not unless your phone is unlocked. Which if you bought it from ATT it is not.

From what I hear ATT is not unlocking phones anymore. There are places online that claim to unlock Arias with a code, but I never needed it so use at your own risk.

Sent from my HTC Aria, dudes!
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
lol. This thread needs soo much cleaning!

Just use another IM program that doesn't suck. It says BETA in the title for christ's sake and it doesn't have any issues at all really.

@NATF, ban this noob already!
[HTC Aria Android Development] dsbalentine:
Just a recommendation, the wispr app removed is what gives at&t customers free access to attwifi hotspots that are still non free (hotels, some stadiums) and automatically connects to places like starbucks and mcd so you don't have to see a splash page when using the wifi there. Granted it is a custom at&t specific app, but non obtrusive and offers a lot.

Just a thought. I totally understand getting rid of all of the non standard apps, but this one gets you more than you might have thought. Without it you have to open your browser and click through at free hot spots and worse have to sign in or pay at others.

Can you add simple chinese into the aria rom?

Excuse me ? I'm from china ,and i like this phone too. so can you add simple chinese into the aria rom? Thank you very much! my email:meiyijun001@gmail.com.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
I think the CM6 rom supports chinese. I see what looks like chinese in the language selection, but since I don't read it, I can't be sure.
[HTC Aria Android Development] meiyijun001:
Thank you for your answer!

Yes，only few app display chinese when i use Morelocale2 2.2.0
[HTC Aria Android Development] lostinbeta:
This isn't an issue with this particular ROM, it's an issue with the Stock ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=725783

The stock keyboard seems to have issues with Landscape mode, either freezing, force closing, or not updating text input until rotated into portrait. I just discovered this issue via my sister who just purchased this phone. I found this thread while looking for a solution. So far I have found 2 options...

1) Go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/ choose your keyboard and hit 'Clear Data' This works if the keyboard freezes, but it's only a temporary fix.

or

2) Go to Settings/Language and Keyboard/Touch Input/Text Input/Prediction and turn off predictive text. I can't confirm if this fix works, but it's one of the things I've found while scouring the internet for a solution for her. She is supposed to let me know how it works out for her after she tries it disabled for a while.

It might be a bug in HTCs software for the Aria, since this issue doesn't seem to occur on other phones (I use the port over of the HTC Keyboard on my Nexus just fine), but it seems to be a memory issue. I'm not a dev, but I'm sure interested in figuring out why this occurs and how to fix it...lol.
[HTC Aria Android Development] NotATreoFan:
It will be interesting to see if this fix works. I remember having a similar issue with my HTC Fuze on early ports of WM6.5 where the hardware keyboard would not show text in landscape if xT9 was enabled. There was also an issue like this caused by Cleartype, but I can only assume that does not apply to Android.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lostinbeta:
Oh I remember that. I always stuck with 6.1 ROMs on my Fuze, I never really was a fan of 6.5. It is interesting the correlation between the two keyboard issues on two entirely different mobile operating systems though. I doubt Cleartype has anything to do with it since Cleartype is a Microsoft only thing as far as I'm aware.
[HTC Aria Android Development] matt_b:
interesting. i've had this issue on my aria with CM6-FroYo using a better keyboard and had no idea why it was going on. i'll try these fixes as well and see if it makes a difference.
[HTC Aria Android Development] oddlike7:
This worked for me too.. Thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] mwmisner:

[HTC Aria Android Development] yaswanth.y.s:
Is there a "FINAL" release???

I was wondering if there is a FINAL release for this ROM?? Did the devs abandon this project in its beta stages?

Just Curious. No Pressure.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Just very busy with cm6.

I have a minor enhancement for wifi tether support in the pipeline. This ROM is just meant to be a stable, rooted more generic HTC version of the stock ROM, so I don't plan to do very much more.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Cinderous:
If you haven't already, you should definitely give the CM6 a shot, if you can deal with the lack of camera (for now, update have been coming quite rapidly, thanks again attn1). I'd nandroid backup your current ROM and flash the CM6, it's quite impressive :D

[HTC Aria Android Development] churapa:
Ringtones and pictures problems.

Same problem here but for newly imported ringtones; also, pictures taken with the phone disappeared (too bad they were my birthday's lunch pictures).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Aria Android Development] hashbrown:
I love this rom! I would like to put my vote in to see more w/ it. I like Sense UI but disliked the AT&T b-ware. I removed the stuff like stock.apk but had to add it back due to force close in accounts and sync settings. If you could add wifi tether, unsupported sources and live wallpapers I'd be peachy! Yeah, I can add those manually but dont always have access to my desktop.

Ive played w/ cm6a6 rom (use it daily at work, no cameras allowed).
[HTC Aria Android Development] Cinderous:
Not sure if you've seen these threads, but those three things you request can be enabled. I know you mentioned you don't always have access to your desktop, but once these are completed, you generally won't need to do anything beyond the phones capabilites or would require a desktop.

WiFi Tether

Live Wallpapers

Sideloading

I haven't used the Wifi Tether myself, but the sideloading and live wallpaper procedures are pretty simple and straightforward. :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
I have tried the wifi tether and it works great!

As for sideloading, I have had some problems with this. Some of the hardware (namely gps, bluetooth, and wifi) gets stuck in always on, or always off state and it seems to be related to the settings.db. I may have worked around it by making sure the gps, wifi, and bluetooth are all on before changing the settings.db and rebooting.
[HTC Aria Android Development] sacliv:
edge only

I can't find the settings to toggle edge only (turn off 3g to force 2g connection), is there a way to quickly toggle it?

It seems this setting is available on other droids..
[HTC Aria Android Development] Cinderous:
Have you done any searching around the SD card when mounted? I've found that every app has a tendency to put pictures in any folder it pleased leaving your sd card with several different folders with pics. The default folder for the camera pictures is something like DCIM/100MEDIA I believe and pictures taken with the camera are named according to when they were taken, i.e. 2010-07-22 18.56.22.jpg

Hope this helps, it sucks to lose pictures :)

I'm not currently using this ROM anymore, but it should be in Menu > Settings > Wireless & Network > Mobile Networks > "Use only 2G Networks"

Alternatively, searching the market for "2g" should give you a few apps that may be able to help you :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
No quick way with this ROM.

1) Access the Testing menu by dialing *#*#4636#*#* into the phone, without pressing send.

2) Select phone info.

3) In the dropdown menu with "WCDMA preferred" selected, select "GSM only".
[HTC Aria Android Development] sacliv:
Can this be done on the stock ROM? WHen i got my phone i didn't check since i was too excited to install this custom ROM. If it can be done on the stock ROM i might consider reverting to the stock ROM and just manually remove the bloatware etc since this functions seems like a huge saver in battery life
[HTC Aria Android Development] hi2u2:
Yes, since this ROM is almost identical to the stock ROM.
[HTC Aria Android Development] sacliv:
sorry i'm a little confused, does this mean that on the stock ROM you CAN toggle 2g / 3g in the settings?
[HTC Aria Android Development] ryan92084:
Yes, using the supplied method.
[HTC Aria Android Development] sacliv:
Ok so it's also not in the menus right? What are the chances that a menu option would be included in the rom? Is there a way to do it?
[HTC Aria Android Development] ryan92084:
Just get an app that has a toggle widget if you don't like using the service code
[HTC Aria Android Development] klyon:
Just a general question: Is there any downside to rooting and installing this rom, at all?

Because I can't say that the at&t apps are bothering me really -- it's just the THOUGHT of the at&t apps. And, coming from a G1, I feel anything but short of memory. I rooted the G1 immediately and went to Cyanogenmod because the phone was seriously deficient stock; the Aria isn't deficient at all, stock. It works great.

So...

Does anyone have a solid opinion, either way?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Troggie:
The main reason I rooted was to put custom roms on. Currently have froyo on my aria and have seen significant improvement of my aria
[HTC Aria Android Development] ocswing:
There is no downside to rooting the phone. It allows you to do more with it than you would otherwise, and you can actually go back to stock on the off chance you need to return it.

As for this specific ROM, from my own tests there are no issues with it. To be clear, it is using the stock ROM as a base and just removing the bloatware, and adding in a couple other things. There isn't really a big difference from stock unlike the CM6 ROM.
[HTC Aria Android Development] klyon:
Thanks, I know that rooting is, in general, a good thing. I'm just glad to have a phone (this aria) that just works, no lags, no problems, no issues (okay, there is that portrait keyboard thing...) so there's less inclination to root. If there are no issues, however, I might. How much memory is gained back by losing the att programs?
[HTC Aria Android Development] ocswing:
Honestly you don't gain a lot. There are less than 10 AT&T apps that are easily removable. Sense actually takes up most of the memory. It's nice to not have to deal with the bloatware though, and the ability to sideload apps from the phone, as well as have some that require root is pretty nice.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
If you really want to save some memory, try the new CM6 Rom. It's based on AOSP, it's twice as fast as stock, and it's much leaner.
[HTC Aria Android Development] sacliv:
can you suggest one? All the ones i found on the market just lead you to the settings menu which doesn't have that settings in there...

also i found that even if i switch to gsm only, it still sometimes connects to 3g, and sometime it connects to edge. I'm running liberated B005.

thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] eortizr:
about the green bar on top of HD Videos... on Normal HD TV's this can be fix by turning 1:1 pixel off... I do not know how it works on a phone.. but just saying....
[HTC Aria Android Development] symond:
i thought this rom would allow you to install 3rd party app which is non market apps

but it didnt and couldnt install java apps maybe cuz its in beta version thats y ??/ anyway it was going smooth tho thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] Rudreax:
You lose your warrenty. Also if you do it and have absolutely no idea what you're doing you can destroy your phone.

You can't immediately sideload, you have to do something extra for that. It's here in the forums, just look for it.
