[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anssibragge:
Hi all,

This is my first post to the desire section - I have been installing custom roms on my HTC blackstone for a couple of years now, so I am not exactly illiterate in these things. But this is my first android phone and I have not gone thru yet the whole rooting etc. stuff.

So I have since a month now a desire. Feeling still a bit awkward after the blackstone, in that many thing were possible, that are not possible with the desire.

Well, to the problem at hand. I was excitedly waiting for the froyo OTA update here in germany. The phone is not vendor locked (bought from O2, but other SIM cards are working with it too).

The phone kept telling me "your phone is up to date". Then, one Sunday a friend of mine in Finland cheered, that he got the update OTA and it's working. So I tried the system update check too.

Since that, first of all, the system update is not anymore telling me "your phone is uptodate", but the check hangs itself in some kind of forever loop. It does not timeout with an hour at least. It simply never gives an answer. The setting for automatic checking is also set, apparently it doesn't get an answer either.

Secondly. Since that, the HTC sync is not working anymore. Whenever I connect the USB cable, the phone does not ask me what to do, it simply just starts charging. I've checked the settings, the phone should ask me, but it does not. Even setting default action to HTC sync - well - nothing happens.

I then installed HTC sync on another PC, and tried to connect. The other PC tells me there is an android phone connected to the USB, but the phone is not connecting.

Sounds like some driver would be stuck. I've rebooted all HW multiple times trying to solve this, well, no luck.

So now I am wondering.. Apparently I need to try some sort of factory reset first, to try to get the USB and perhaps also the system update to work.

Like I mentioned, I haven't set myself yet to getting to know android inside out, rooting, etc.

A quick look at the phone does not even mention a factory reset, just wiping personal data. That shouldn't do the trick anyways, or?

I did some searching on the Desire section of the forum, I could only find some solved stuff about US>B bricking, but I understand that is something that happened when flashing a rooted phone or so.

And otherwise, I couldn't find anything else related to my problems.

Does anyone have a starting point here, please? I haven't found out even how to do a factory reset so far :)

I hope it is not the advanced task killer I installed from the market, that has caused this.

Best regards,

abe

Turn your phone off, then switch it on while holding the volume - button. Wait about 10 seconds then use the volume button to choose recovery then press the power button. You will be at a black screen with a red triangle. Press volume up and the power button. You are now at the HTC recovery screen. using the volume button choose factory data reset or whatever it's called.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anssibragge:
Well, hard reset took care of the system update. But it's now again saying "your phone is up to date" :-/

And the HTC Sync is saying that it can't find htc sync on my desktop. Hrmmm... I'll have to try it on the other pc too.

HUGE THANKS GOES OUT TO EVERYONE THAT DONATED!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Cayniarb:
Uhm. Wow.

This is excellent. I must know how you got the AOSP Contacts & Dialer working. I tried and failed (multiple times). The lack of sorting by last name in the Sense version is a laughable oversight by HTC.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mtkagan:
been waiting for a aosp froyo rom for awhile. this is the closest ive seen yet. will test this out and have a review by the end of the day. thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Glad to see this finally make this big time. How is this different than the rom I was testing for gou? Your rom was hands down my favorite rom on 2.1. Looking forward to giving this a go!
[EVO 4G Android Development] needoZ:
I am really digging the AOSP-centric ROMs coming out.

When you go in to the Calendar and click on More then Calendars it Force Closes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hondoslack:
Which camera app, HTC's or AOSP?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rumessingwitme:
How do i get the main clock with the weather ?? It only give me a choice of analog clock in widgets ??

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] iomthd:
I'm thinking of trying this out!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Sorry. The app is called Fancy Widget. I'm not allowed to post it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
This is great. I loved your 2.1 NonSense ROM. I will check this out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 3a3yface:
dose this work on the sony x10
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
....Evo only.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
what version number if the Fancy widget is it i might have it lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
if i download the droidx version do i need to flash the white taskbar file ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ReallyShawn:
I use Beautiful Widgets which is available from the market for about $2.00. It gives a lot of options including many clock and weather skins. There is a smaller widget included that uses less screen real estate. As well it has more than just clock/weather widgets.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
sorry also is this running the newest Gapps released by google

?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lundrog:
This supports 4G?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aronslusa:
Flashed this, coming from the 1.3 themed baked snack after wiping data, cache, and davlik.

Liked the boot animation, like the overall theme itself as it actually works with things like the phone and what not.. But when attempting to use Titanium Backup I am prompted 3-10+ times to grant super user permissions the 10+ times I just finally hit the home button and forgot about using it.

Is this common or?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
This was a problem with the beta of this rom that I was testing. Flash the new superuser 2.3. You can find it somewhere on xda.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thefoss:
Great job! You think I can use Manup's REVO theme with this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] viigox:
ok got the sd partitioned now how do i actually move all my apps over. i did not see an option in recovery
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Update!!! Check 1st post for change log
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdeloach:
Are you still using TouchWiz over ADW?

If so, can you post some screenshots of how yours looks?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Yes. I'm using TouchWiz with Epic icons
[EVO 4G Android Development] xenokira:
Granted I'm trying to download from my Evo, but I keep getting an invalid file error when I try to download the non-DroidX versions of 1.9.1. Anyone else having this problem?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdeloach:
Getting invalid link from laptop as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I fixed the links
[EVO 4G Android Development] xenokira:
Seems to be working now, thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] auau465121:

[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I just tested all four versions and the market downloads fine. Try reloading the Rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] auau465121:
I got it working user error :o some how i put ur rom on my sd card twice which was taking up all my space lol now that thats out of the way I'm give this a day of use if it works as good as it looks will be donating a lil something :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Ok, cool. I'm glad its something you did and not my error...j/k :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] xenokira:
I'm looking for some help with the Market..

Last night I installed VaelPack and purchased Tetris (the official EA version) on the Market. This afternoon, I installed Evo-NonSense, but I can't find Tetris on the Market at all. I've tried doing some research but can't find any info as to why the Tetris isn't showing up on this ROM vs. VaelPack.

Can anyone offer me some incite? :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I'll look into it tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xenokira:
Awesome, thanks. It wouldn't be a big deal if I hadn't just paid for it. Outside of this weird Market issue, it's running pretty great! :)

Anyway, looking forward to hearing what you find out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cameronsutor:
Strange text after installing?

Nice job on the ROM...

After installing, I rebooted and immediately received two text messages from "9016: //ANDROID:"

The first one said "{from} has sent you a Sprint Voice Message..." and the second one said "Provisioning Successful"

What's up with that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
That is a known issue with the AOSP Mms app. You can use the Sense Mms.apk and it'll go away.
[EVO 4G Android Development] secfincorp:
Rom is working great so far

Love the rom and everything is working great so far for me. Not having all the problems others have been having using the non apps to sd version and white task bar. The only issue I am having is the sync icon stays on. Any thoughts. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Try going to Rom Manager>Fix Permissions. Let it do its thing, then reboot. I just tried it and Tetris from EA showed up in the Market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ekt8750:
Is there a timeframe for the new OTA that was released yesterday?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Tonight or tomorrow. I'm almost done but I'm at work right now
[EVO 4G Android Development] xenokira:
Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried it and didn't seem to have any luck. I'll try poking around a bit more and see if I can get it to show up. If you think of any other suggestions, please pass them along.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] secfincorp:
i tried the solution with rom manager to get rid of the sync icon staying on and it still is on. I have gmail, exchange and facebook syncing and that is it. I also tried wiping everything and reinstalling.........
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I just finished v2.0 that is based off the new OTA. Ill be uploading soon. We'll see if its fixed in the update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
What up TJ, Trying your rom out and Im getting weird ghosting with the black battery with percentage. Cant really explain it fully but the shade mirrors the top of the shade that isn't translucent. The white shade doesnt have this problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Is it the one with circle or the standard one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
The circle percent black bar. It basically ghosts the entire upper half of the screen in the lower translucent part.

Also, and I don't know if this was mentioned before, but you can't search your contacts in the AOSP dialer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I know about the search in the AOSP Contacts. You can use the Google Searh widget til I figure that out.

Ill work on the taskbar right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
Hey TJ when you take out friendstream it causes facebook to constantly sync that is your prob :) i figured i would share my findings
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
btw forgot to say man EXCELLENT job on the roms man these things are SOLID thanks for all your hard work bro it shows
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Just to let you know, the stock taskbar on a stock, fresh out of the box phone has the same gray shade at the top but I'll try to make it darker:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Thank you. Your Roms are great also. I'm very impressed
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Its not the color im having a problem with that is fine. The shade actually reproduces the upper half of the shade in the lower half. I'll try to grab a screenie.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Here is a screen shot. That is the shade pulled down.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
OK. I see what you mean now. I'll check it out right now. Thank you for that
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
hey tj did you try that friendstream fix??
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
No problem. Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
What Friendstream fix? For the Contacts?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
your rom is constant syncing because you kept htcfacebook in and took out friendstream
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Thanks for pointing that out to me. I completely forgot about that. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] viigox:
Help

Can you try and port the epic 4g calendar to work on the evo. I've adb pushed some deodexed versions of touchwiz.apk and the touchwizcalendarprovider.apk butstill wont work on the evo even after a reboot

also still haven't been able to get my apps to sd partitioned sd and all that jazz
[EVO 4G Android Development] secfincorp:
do we have the friendstream apk or a solution that doesnt require you to rework the rom. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] viigox:
What's up with the epic calendar...any word or at least some help to make it work? Thanx (and yes I'm using deodexed apk's)
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Friendstream is included in new update I'm about to release. I just finished and will be uploading it soon. The wifi tether wasn't working so I had to figure that out first. As far as the Epic Calendar, if its like the htc calendar, its tied into the framework so it won't work. I'll check into now that I done updating these Roms and let you know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MSmith1:
Any update on that notification shade thing I brought up yesterday?

Also, Friendstream is in 1.9.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdeloach:
TJ,

Is it true that TouchWiz seems to get a little faster the longer you use it? I am trying to decide if I want to run it or not......so confused.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Yeah, I opened on the framework and everything was ok. I just flashed it on 2.0 and there is no shade.

The touchwiz launcher is really quick. You can always use but set it as your default launcher until you know you like it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] viigox:
As far as the Epic Calendar, if its like the htc calendar, its tied into the framework so it won't work. I'll check into now that I done updating these Roms and let you know.[/QUOTE]

The thread I downloaded the TW calendar apk from said the individual parts of touch wiz were not as integrated as sense so there could be some hope...the info on it can be found in the epic 4g development thread
[EVO 4G Android Development] viigox:
I'm using TW as my main launcher and its blazing I didn't think I'd like it but once I got the hang its great. The only thing that would make it better would be a full port to include the widgets
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
WOW!! I just noticed that when the XDA went down it messed up the OP. I just updated all the links.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bossing:
I just downloaded and flashed this rom and the first thing I noticed is that the keyboard is stock htc, how do I get the aosp keyboard like in your second screenshot?

//Nevermind I just figured it out. Long pressed on a text box and changed input method to Android keyboard...
[EVO 4G Android Development] viigox:
Any luck on touch wiz calendar yet
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Still working on it.. Hopefully I'll my update up within a day or two.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freebirds87:
Why does Titanium backup force close when I go to restore my apps on this ROM?

Actually it doesn't force close the whole phone just resets itself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rain91:
You may have to click the Problems button and download BusyBox from there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Matt_TX:
TJ,

Overall, this is an excellent ROM, but I'm having a couple of issues with the AOSP Contacts and Dialer...

First of all, when I have opened a particular contact, the icons to either call or message a number are not proportional. On my phone it looks like the messaging one is too big. It also looks like the e-mail one is too small.

Second, when I have opened a particular contact, if I hit the "menu" buttom, I have four options. The third one under "Edit Contact" is too big and does not fit in the box.

Third, when I have opened a particular contact and I tap the messaging icon, the MMS.apk opens, but the contact is not populated in the "To" field. I still have to add it manually.

Next, the AOSP dialer looks a little "blurry". Almost like it was taken from a hero and then increased in size. Also, once you dial a number you still get the "in call" screen from Sense. It's not AOSP.

Finally, the Calendar is not AOSP. Is there a way to get the AOSP calendar, instead of the Sense one?

Once again, this is a great ROM and I appreciate your efforts...

Matt_TX
[EVO 4G Android Development] kcsureshot:
I thought that this came with the same dialer as on the Droid X. I have flashed this and it still uses the default HTC Sense dialer, or at least that's what appears to be happening. I would really like to get the dialer from Droid X as the Sense one is pathetic
[EVO 4G Android Development] Matt_TX:
It comes with both the AOSP Dialer/Contacts and Sense Dialer/Contacts. If the DroidX is using AOSP, then it has it. If you go into your list of apps, you'll see two entries for "Phone". One is for AOSP and one is for Sense. You'll also see "Contacts" (AOSP Contacts) and People (Sense Contacts).

The problem is that the AOSP Dialer/Contacts is buggy, and it still uses the

Sense "in call" screen/menu. Additionally, the Sense Dialer/Contacts would not be so bad if all the garbage (like messages, e-mail, gallery, etc.) were removed from the sliding bar at the bottom.

I really like this ROM, but for me, the Dialer/Contacts is still a major gap that needs to be plugged. If it can look and work like CM6, I'd be sold...
[EVO 4G Android Development] tom2164:
screenshots/launcherpro question

Let me say thanks for all the work i am sure you have put into this rom.

will you be posting screen shots of the different features, and does this play nice with launcher pro?

thank you

Tom
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
looks for the d/l links...cant find them...bah must wait.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xenokira:
Looking forward to the new build :-)

Sent from my HTC Evo on Sprint
[EVO 4G Android Development] Matt_TX:
tjohnsonjr,

First off, thanks !

Has any progress been made on the following:

- Fixing icons in AOSP Contacts

- Fixing menu item (one icon was too big to read) in AOSP Contacts

- Removing Sense Calendar and using AOSP Calendar

Also, what's the issue with the Sense in-call screen? Do you think we are stuck with it, or will there eventually be a way to replace it?

Thanks so much for all your hard work.

Regards,

Matt_TX.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
The links are up!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I left the Sense calendar in because taking it out causes a sync issue. The Sense Dialer is built in the framework. Thats why it so hard to get the in-call screen to the AOSP. I'm still working on it though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] airognol:
Installed it, but when it was installing the progress bar froze for a bit, and then rebooted and now I'm running the ROM. My problem is that almost everything is saying "Force Close" and getting errors.

I'm coming from Cyanogen's 6.0 ROM and I never updated to the offical Sprint OTA that was released a few weeks ago. It also says the build number is EvoNonsense 2.0

Baseband is 2.15.00.07.28

PRI is 1.40_33

Don't know if that well help out, but any help will be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Make sure you wipe everything if coming from a different ROM. I forgot to change the build number in the build.prop.
[EVO 4G Android Development] airognol:
I did wipe everything.

HTC Sense Launcher

Unable to launch the HTC sense Launcher. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
You aren't doing anything wrong. This ROM doesn't use Sense. Thats why it not coming up. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Matt_TX:
tjohnsonjr,

I just loaded up the new ROM. It's a huge improvement... Congrats! I'm really impressed, this is the closest thing you can get to CM6 with 4G.

A couple of issues:

1) I can't get Facebook Sync to work. How do you get this to function with the AOSP Contacts list? I installed Facebook and it didn't sync. Then I added my login info to "Facebook for HTC Sense" and it just syncs constantly, with no result. Any ideas?

2) In the AOSP browser, you have an issue with the bookmarks button to the right of the address bar. It's the wrong size/color.

Thanks again and great work...

You just gave me an idea...:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I dont have a facebook so i can't test this. Can you push this to /system/app please?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrDSL:
Does anyone have another link for this besides 4shared? Ughhh it just downloads a 14k file :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Which version do you want?
[EVO 4G Android Development] MrDSL:
Just the regular 3.0 one at the very top..Don't need apps2sd or anything..
