[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebo:
Many thanks.

So, I don't have to go back to 2.1 to re-install 2.2?

I'll try it this weekend. If it doesn't fix my BT problem, I'll try another ROM.

It's just, like I said. My BT worked perfect with 2.1. As far as other ROMS, maybe someday, but right now Android Market And AppBrain keep me busy.

Whoops! Forgot to ask, when they say "stock" RUU, does that include HTC Sense? I know a lot of people don't like it, but I do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebo:
Well, now, I made the "mistake" of doing more reading, and now I'm more confused than b4.

So b4 you flash or restore a RUU (ROM?), you're supposed to do a "nand backup".

Someone suggested Amon_RA , so I went to this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026&highlight=Amon_RA

There it says installing it will wipe all your info. But I thought this was supposed to let you back up?

Somewhere else I saw this:

Boot into recovery. Select Backup/Restore. Select Nand Backup.

How exactly? How do you boot into recovery mode? I found bootloader mode, but not reovery. I found a post where someone asked that same question, of course it wasn't answered.

The problem with forums is that everything is all over the place. People get tired of answering the same questions over and over, yet the reason most people ask the same questions is... everything is all over the place!:confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohr:
Forget about doing a NAND backup... you need root to restore it anyways, which you don't have, so it's pointless.

Just run the RUU. It will basically give you clean 2.2 image.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebo:
I am not worthy. ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runningwarrior08:
Do what Sohr said you will lose everything but you will have a clean image. When it comes to recovery to get to it you must first be rooted and have a custom recovery either Amon Ra( the link you left earlier) or Clockwork Mod recovery. To get into it you could use a free app from the market called quick boot that would bott you into recovery without using the bootloader...

It all seems complicated for the first week then it becomes natural on how to do it all. If you need help with anything PM me and maybe I can help you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebo:
Thanks. Well, I did the deed yesterday. I will take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of days to see if my problem is fixed.

Thanks for the help. I will probably try another ROM if this didn't work. At least now I have a sense of how to do it.:)

Well, it took minutes. Crap. Same problem (bluetooth audio cuts in and out on my end, but not on the other persons end).

HTC told me to go to hell. I wonder if Sprint has any units in yet. I con't believe I'm the only one with this issue!

Anyone else have an issue with their trackball blinking non stop after receiving an email

This seems to happen no matter what I set it to....unless there is a setting I am missing?

Or maybe the setting undoes itself somehow!?

Have you tried adjusting the track ball settings in cyanogen mod settings look under user interface then choose led notifications it allows you to individually set ur track ball lighting for different notifications might work might not worth a try

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Go to settings, cyanogenmod settings, user interface, LED notifications, email, and change the notification color from white to red, orange, or green. This will make the LEDs flash when you have an email, not the trackball.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonykash:
I don't post here often, but I am on IRC all the time for those of you that do know me. I have been having serious issues with the AOSP Roms. Cyanogen, Ruby, and Incredible Does all either freeze on me or reboot sooner or later. I've went so far as to install nothing else except the Rom and it still freezes or reboots. I've done this test with all three, I even dialed down the processor while on them and still NO DICE. I'm not an Android expert, but I do have a bachelor's in IT so I feel I'm pretty tech savvy. I was told on IRC that others are having similar problems with all the AOSP roms. I'm trying to get a consensus of who else is experiencing this and some more suggestions on how to fix this.

I appreciate all the help

~Thanks , AnthonyKash
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borgey420:
Yeah this is very odd. A couple of us in ##incredibleroms have been working with AnthonyKash to figure this out. So far we have had no luck at all. No Sense UI ROMs do this to him, it seems like it's only vanilla ROMs. Very strange............
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greatchief1:
I know you posted this months ago but was wondering if you figured out what is causing this? I too can't use ANY aosp Rome because they all end up being unusable after a couple of hours. It's almost like the CPU slows down to a dramatic crawl. Only way to fix is to do a battery pull to reset. I have cleared cache, dalvik, uninstalled setcpu, all with no luck. Anyone have any insights?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Check integrity and space of SD card - maybe even remove, copy contents to PC, reformat to FAT32, copy a few nandroids back to SD and reinstall in device. Also make sure there is ample space on SD.

Absent that, have you tried a different SD card? AOSP ROMs interface w/ the SD considerably more than Sense ROMs.

Also, check radio version - recommend at least 2.15.xx

HBOOT version may come into play as well.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keith.mcintyre26:
+1 to the above post. Seems like some sense files are bring left somewhere.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greatchief1:
I don't think its my SD Card, I just got a new one a month ago and the same thing happened with my old SD Card. I have 4 gigs left empty of a 16 gig sd card. Would it make a difference if I installed from EMMC using RA recovery?

Hboot 0.92

Radio 2.15.00.09.01

Am on the latest versions of Hboot and radio right?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greatchief1:
One thing I do find very weird is that even after doing full wipes of user data, cache and dalvik, when I boot up on CM7 my wifi settings still work. I would have expected I needed to reenter all of those settings. Or does this stuff get saved to the SD or internal storage...normal? If it is not, then why are data wipes in Recovery not cleanning up my files?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farkmeil:
I've not had this problem.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Yep, those are the latest versions.

AOSP ROMs offer automatic reinstall of apps and data to Google when flashing, if that option is checked when flashed. That's where/how/why settings and/or apps still appear as before.

So, if Sense ROMs are not wonky, maybe it is an app you have installed on the AOSP ROM?

Long diagnostic road, (well understood by us IT folk :p) but perhaps uninstall apps in reverse install date order of the app, reboot as you go thru, see which one may have been a culprit.

Absent that, perhaps factory reset in recovery, install an AOSP rom w/out choosing to reinstall apps.

Maybe try another different AOSP ROM?

I know the SD interacts quite a bit more with the SD compared to Sense ROMs - again, maybe copy SD card contents to PC, reformat SD to FAT32 either on the PC or in phone, maybe both - then d/l an AOSP ROM on a clean SD, see if it's still wonky.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greatchief1:
Sense ROMS work great, its AOSP roms that are giving my phone fits lol. Well last night I tried something new.

-I changed my radio from 2.15.00.09.01 to 2.15.00.07.28 Official Froyo radio.

-Installed CM7 #14 from the EMMC versus SD CARD.

-"Hit Wipe All" in recovery about 10 times in a row before I flashed CM7 :)

I hope changing the radio to "official" is what does it. Anyone running AOSP roms using the leaked radio 2.15.00.09.01 ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Radio?

Yes, do let us know whether the xx.09 radio was the (a) culprit.

I run the older 2.15.xx.07.28 one, never had issues w/ AOSP ROMs.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cougar618:
I had an issue with this using cm7 nightlies, and I WOULD post it there but the new, ~totally awesome~ rule they are implementing (can't post in the dev forum w/ less than 10 posts) prevents me from doing that (Which means I have to spam the other sub forums?).

ANYWAYS, I got a bigger sd card from a friend, and I went to erase it under the sd card settings. Then i got a low space notification, saying I had 9 mb free of 7 Terbytes. Rebooting the phone caused it to go into boot loop. If your situation sounds like mine then do this

Boot into CWM, and from there you can mount the SD card and format it, as well as copy any backups.

I did not have any luck with restoring the phone to a previous AOSP rom, even after wiping the cache/dalvik. Maybe there's another one that could be wiped that I didn't do. Anyways, I installed a Sense based rom, and from there I was able to install Cyanogen mod.

Good luck.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greatchief1:
Well it turns out that the radio version I was using was not the issue because the phone became unresponsive this morning when I tried to wake it up. To be specific, it does allow me to swipe to unlock but painfully in slow motion.

So that rules at the radio...which leaves me with its either the ROM/Kernel or some rogue app.

So this morning I wiped all user data in recovery and reinstalled CM7#14 but this time I did not log on to my google account during setup and have not installed any apps. So far no issues, but the true test is trying to wake the phone up tomorrow in the morning. If there are no issues, then that solves it (ITS A FREAKING APP).

If it is a rogue app that has been haunting me these past couple of weeks then who has the best way to identify which one is the offender? Why would a rogue app only affect me using AOSP roms and not Sense?

My suspicions are with..(Locale, Beautiful Widgets, ADW EX, Swype, CardioTrainer, Handcent) but I guess process of elimination is what its going to take.

Thanks to all for the help and recommendations.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
Please tell me u meant 7gb not 7tb

If you have a SD card that huge I beg you to tell me where to get it

I've heard of a 2tb SD but they haven't released it
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greatchief1:
just wanted to give an udate on my issue...as I suspected it was an app that was causing my phone to crash using aosp roms. The offending app is Locale, wierd that a it never gave me problems using Sense based roms.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
Good stuff. Glad to see it all finally worked out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_touch_mn:
If in the future the EVO needs to go for service, could I just flash a stock ROM after a Nandroid backup and bring it in to Sprint.

I would even remove the backup and put it on my PC.

Obviously if they looked very hard, I guess they could see the root. But would not returning the phone to a stock ROM, solve most issues with Sprint?

Would I need to flash anything else but the ROM?

hi everyone

i have (flv,mp4,...) in my email how can i open them

i have realplayer but when i try to open flv i got a messege (the content is not supported on this phone)

so is there any programe which can open these formulas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] psychedelic'd:
You mean you can't download them? You could zip them then upload them again.

If you don't wanna do that, you could install a different browser from the market - Opera, Skyfire, etc.

A third option is to install Astro File Manager and tick the "Enable Browser Download" option in preferences.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remixtherom:
Hey guys, I got a mytouch 3g slide when it first came out. Rooted it with the first root method by Eugene, tried many roms, and i finally decided to have stability. So that led me to Cyanogen mod 6, with overclock.

So im asking, if i were to look for a android rom.

Which rom has the best stability, has froyo, anddd sense (widgets, clock animations etc.)?

it doesnt have to be froyo exactly, if its a fast, stable, reliable 2.1 sense rom i will be happy. Thank you in advance.

Also it would be nice to have direction on where to start modding the hd2, theres so much info in this section i got lost :p lol.

Wow, you work fast. Thanks a lot, looking forward to flashing.

Q: How do you remove system apps?

On 4.x I was trying to update my Launcher pro to LP Plus and I couldn't do it??

Thanks again :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
For LauncherPro just input your key. The option to do so should be in menu -> preferences, or you should find it when you try to add a widget.

However to remove apps in /system, do:

adb remount

adb shell rm -f /system/app/APKNAME.apk

Remember to replace APKNAME with the actual file name. File names are case sensitive.

adb is part of the Android SDK pack.

The deal breaker for me with 1.4.x was GPS. Flashed 1.5, first thing to do was firing up GPS status... and wohooo... locked within seconds.

Kudos VillainTeam! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Yeah there were some APNs not configured correctly in the old apns-conf.xml which screwed those affected when it came to GPS. Cyanogen has provided a better/cleaner obviously 110% more fixed than it's ever been before APN list which is included in FV1.5.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Slightly modded Galaxy. I'll get the original ugly in the OTA app as a theme tomorrow or Sunday.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] regisprigent:
Thanks a lot ! Just the first time, all widget don't work, so easy, just remove them from the screen, and put them back and everything work.

Thanks a lot for this new update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] orangeclanz:
it's works for me here :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] enyeng:
Thanks for the info.

It makes me wondering, if GPS fix depends on the APN configuration, would APN toggle widgets which work by modifying the APN name entry will have decremental effect in achieving GPS fix?

* also in the (very unlikely :D) event that I ended up in someplace remote without cell signal, how is my chance to get a GPS fix? *
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] zorxd:
This should fix AGPS. It made a big difference for me.

Great news, I was already using conservative when screen off, I think it's the best solution.

thanks for this release!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BeelzeM:
Thanks Pulser. Flashing the latest PU radio instead of the JU radio fixed it for me apparently.

Love the ROM, thanks a lot, should be my final flash for a while. My only nitpick is the call screen... the one that I hate is back in XD the one in which when I ccall someone, my ear keeps touching the hold button before the screen goes dark. Any way to change this? I've looked but can't find :/

Thanks again though, great ROM, nice theme too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jkmoogle:
It's going to take me a while to get used the skin, but i think i can learn to love it! Only two gripes, one longstanding one being the skinned htc_ime. Any possibility of providing a way to change it to stock? I know it's a personal thing, but i'm a grumpy man when it comes to the ui. Also, my average linpack score has dropped for some reason, from 4.9MFLOPS to 4.5MFLOPS average. No noticed performance hit, just me being a grump still! Amazing ROM though, many many thanks once again for all the hard work! Never thought i'd learn to prefer any UI over sense, but you seem to have struck a winner and with amazing performance to boot!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nomnompie:
Ive had that disabled since day 1 pretty much.. this is what you've seen right? This is a screenshot of my phone, viewed in gallery, when rotated the pic looks like the attached.

Is this the issue referred to or is mine different?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
considering the testing and success of hundreds of users of this rom already in beta and release use, it's obviously something wrong in the installation or current configuration of your phone, not the rom itself, so try reflashing after a FULL wipe of everything this time maybe?

and to change keyboards you have to read up in the android user manual pdf about how to use your phone.

:-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ah, well if you were one of the beta testers like me then you'll be used to the insulting remarks like that LoL :-)

part of the fun...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hagbard2323:
At the risk of looking stupid, I cannot see an option for changing the lockscreen wallpaper, or making it transparent as it was with 1.4. At the moment I have a black wallpaper, but the lockscreen is showing the default blue FV wallpaper. Maybe there's an option right in front of me but there are so many different menus now and I can't find anything.

Edit: Sorted, my phone rebooted (need to lower the clock speed) and after a restart the lockscreen had updated to reflect the new wallpaper.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
or use dialer one, also free, which imho out performs nub dialer in scrolling speed and offers far more useful features like configurable smart shortcuts (like sense roms) and even very basic theming.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
read the release notes: re: benchmarks. and, fwiw, most of us after repeated testing find that once in a while we get insanely high linpacks that outperform any other rom @ the same MHz. which is a much more realistic indication of how fast our phones can now perform when the running app more or less "requests" that much of the cpu's power.

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
you know there's no mention as far as I can remember about the 3d gallery being fixed in this release. it's not an OS feature, it's a separate app by google, and it happens to have major issues on the hero since it's NOT (sorry forgot that NOT before LoL) actually designed to run on the hero.

the fact that it runs at all is amazing after all the work that's been done to get it into a useful state.

the well documented (throughout xda) remarks are that as long as you wait until thumbnail creation is done (the spinner stops in top of 3d gallery screen) then screen rotation seems to mostly be stable without corruption. if you rotate before that time it will sometimes do the screen corruption, and rotating it again will often return it to a useful state.

and as well known all over xda there are some free 2d galleries that blow it away such as "multi touch gallery" and "just pictures!" from the market. just install them and use them instead. however 3d gallery is still a great video player so it's recommended to leave it on your phone unless you have an alternative video player that integrates into android well as a replacement.

launcher pro upgrade

is it ok upgrading launcherpro to just install the .apk file? i know there's been some suggestions to actually push it to system partition, but is this really necessary?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] theodore80:
It is. This app is included in the system apps which makes it impossible to remove it. I have the same issue cause I can't make adb work.. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
that's so odd (not saying it isn't true for some people of course). for me I've NEVER had trouble, including with this rom, simply downloading/installing newer launcherpro apk and it just works instead of the /system/app version.

Odd, very odd. but whatever works for people :-)

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jkmoogle:
I did read the notes, yes. As I said, I've not noticed a performance drag in any way, was just noting what I am encountering. I'm aware of majorly fluctuating linpack results as well, somehow got a 5.5(!) On 1.4.4 on the 691 kernel. So I wasn't complaining, just making note. :-)

Some apps won't restore through MyBackup Pro. Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
darn, I do'nt know that app at all. sorry... anyone else?

note: the arguably least crappy backup/restore app is titanium backup so most of us use it and have found it to work well for this as long as you understand it's multitude of options and are aware of the lack of a confirmation prompt before hitting the delete backup button by accident ;-) (not speaking from experience of course, I would never do something that stupid .... ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mark.peters:
I've removed mine using Root Manager .... it's an easy to use app with half-decent GUI that allows (amongst other things) removal of system apps ..
