[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsnod:
I had this problem with the rom from paul and had also posted a thread about this (also no reply)

Heres my post, giving the full background...I shall post the fix afterwards...

Hi Paul,

First of all, many thanks for the great rom. Its fast, stable, and has been a pleasure to use.

I do have one problem, however, and was hoping you would have a idea.....

I bought the phone from a third party phone shop in Madrid and it came with 2.1 installed. There was only English (german), English (Switzerland), and french language variants installed - no native English, and no Spanish languages at all shown in the languages menu.

(Bit of an oversight for a Spanish shop to buy phones without Spanish, but i digress)

I suspect that phone was imported from German/french region countries, and this does seem right as the box has german writing on it...

By default after installing the 2.2 rom from this thread (rooting beforehand and then installing the appropriate radio) there was only English (German), English (Switzerland), as with 2.1 - Exactly the same.

Originally I installed the locales list from this thread (http://xdaforums.com/show...hlight=locales), cleared the Customization Settings Provider data, and after force closing had all of the extra required languages....Great. Result.

However, I noticed that all of the wallpapers were missing, although the live wallpapers exist. Odd I thought....I took a look using adb and could see all of the wallpapers in system/customize/resource.

So, I reinstalled the same rom again, as I was not sure exactly when the wallpapers had gone missing (when applying the locale patch, wiping the data afterwards, etc)...After installing the ROM again I could see all of the wallpapers

So this time I though I would ONLY clear the Customization Settings Provider data, and force close, without installing the locales list patch first.

I did this and I could again see the English languages, Spanish, and many more.

However, again, all the static wallpapers were missing. And again I can see them in the directory in adb.

Can you shed any light on why clearing the Customization Settings Provider data, and after force closing, causes the wallpapers to disappear, even though they are seen in the directory ?

All the wallpaper files are set up with the following permissions:

-rw-r--r--

If I use astro to look at the directory contents I can see the pictures of all the wallpapers, so they are readable from within froyo.

I am thinking that some cache needs clearing or something. I cannot see, however, what the customization settings provider has to do with the wallpapers !

I'm using live wallpapers at the moment but would like to choose defaults if possible. also if I want to sell the phone I would like it to work completely !

for the record I did install your rom a few days ago, did install the locale zip and it did show the wallpapers (although not initially - they appeared all of a sudden and I have no clues why). However, up to press, with the new install I did last night, there are no static wallpapers at all.

I could not see anything obvious in the logcat when entering the menu for the HTC wallpapers.

Kind regards,

James.

And the fix (well or me at least)...

1. reinstall the rom from paul, In used the non radio deodexed version (DONT REBOOT AT THIS STAGE)

2. installed the locales zip from this thread (http://xdaforums.com/show...hlight=locales

3. reboot at last

4. You should then have the options for all languages (you might have already without the locales zip - but if not for installing the locales zip I would only have had the default languages as shown in my above post)

5. You should then (fingers crossed) have the wallpapers )DO NOT CLEAR Customization Settings Provider data as this is what appears to be what looses the wallpapers.

Now I´m not saying that this is the fix for you What I can say, however, is that had EXACTLY the same problem on pauls ROM after clearing the Customization Settings Provider data, with or without the locales zip

I have now performed the above twice and it worked both times -Just might remember NEVER to clear Customization Settings Provider data

You may of course not wish to use a rom such as pauls. However, I don't want bells a whistles (Actually tried a more customized rom before and found it to be slower)

Hope this helps,

James.
