[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boogieboogie:
Hey guys,

i know how much answering the same questions can be tedious. It irks me too sometimes. I read through 30 pages of the cyanogenMod thread and im still left with questions. I went through the Wiki, Youtube, everywhere that i could learn more and im still lost. I think its partly because everybody that takes apart in the discussion seems to already have android knowledge. I came from a iphone so all this tinkering is VERY new to me.

Looking at the cyanogenmod wiki page, it showed me how to install rom step by step. surprisingly, it looks easy. but as i was looking through the thread, the word "nandroid" popped out MULTIPLE times. i went back to the wiki and read it over but no where does it say anything about nandroid. so i googled it, and its a back up program.

my question is, is nandroid required? if so (get ready for the onslaught of questions) where could i get step by step directions on how to use nandroid. im also trying to figure out how to restore from nandroid.

this scenario popped up, im using CM6 and i want to restore to the stock rom. what would be the steps i would take to get to stock? something with nandroid? or just download the stock rom and put it on my sd and boot from there?

another thing that puzzles me is, what would the process be in updating the CM6 roms with the incremental updates that are released every few weeks.

i thought CM6 was hard to follow so i went to the liberated thread. but than these directions

"Do a nandroid backup to preserve your current rom

Wipe Data (if coming from another rom, including CM6 or liberated_aria non-deodexed version, or to enable additional languages from previous version)

Wipe Cache

Wipe dalvik cache (advanced > wipe dalvik cache)

Install liberated_aria_R00*_signed.zip from sdcard"

left me more puzzled. wipe data as in do the factory restore from settings? how would i wipe the cache and delvik cache? what is the diff between the regular and deodexed version?

this is just giving me a headache. the necessary info seems to be everywhere and not in one place. URGHFDhSFlsdlfgjndlkngkdfs. maybe i should go back to the iphone.

thanks to anybody who actually reads this essay lol.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zervic:
Lol...we all gotta start somewhere ;) anyway, number one: nandroid is part of clockwork recoverymod...I don't remember back to when I rooted BUT I do know that following the process of rooting my phone, afterwards I had clockwork recovery installed. This is accessed by powering down your phone and while booting up you press power and hold volume down. Once in there you use volume up/down to navigate options and power to select. Um lets see here, as for updating. You would simply download the zip place it on root directory of your SD card, boot into clockwork, wipe cache and then flash the zip.

The wipe cache, dalvik, etc is all done through clockwork. General rule of thumb is to do a nandroid backup before you flash anything. That way if anything goes wrong, you can restore your backup.

Is nandroid required? Um...hard to answer that question. I believe clockwork recovery mod IS required and since nandroid is part of clockwork, then yea lol...

If I missed anything let me know because I'm on my phone so its a little difficult to keep scrolling up to scroll back down to type what I need to type.

Also, if I was wrong on anything, please someone point it out so we (i) don't mislead him.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delutedsoul23:
i too came from a jailbroken iphone to android and i feel like android clockworkmod recovery helps make the flash/install a breeze. i think the hardest part of coming from an iphone to android is just the onslaught of new phrases and words..but i will help as much as i can pm me if you want and i will help as much as my knowlege will allow...but trust me on this dont go back to an idont.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oahceasgnikgneas:
nandroid is something that you can utilize to make nandroid backups if you have Clockworkmod recovery for the Aria. Do you have to use it? No. Do you have to have it? Yes, if you have Clockworkmod recovery installed.

How is Clockworkmod recovery installed? It is automatically installed and replaces your stock recovery when you root your phone using the latest versions of the Unrevoked tool.

In order to use nandroid for backup you:

1. Reboot into Clockworkmod recovery (either through an application like ROM Manager, the option presented during power off in Cyanogenmod 6, or by turning the phone completely off and then holding the volume down button during power on). DO NOT enter Clockworkmod recovery by powering off the phone with the micro USB cable attached to a power source (it won't work reliably in this manner).

2. Go to "nandroid"

3. Click "Backup"

The backup takes a few hundred megabytes (mine are about 200-350 MB each) on your SD card so make sure you have available space.

In order to use nandroid for recovery you:

1. Reboot into Clockworkmod recovery as listed above.

2. Go to "nandroid"

3. Click "Restore"

4. Select the backup you want to recover from.

5. Select "Yes - Restore"

By stock I mean everything on your phone is exactly as it is when you first purchased it, no root or Clockworkmod recovery.

To get back to stock you don't use nandroid. If you think about it, nandroid backups came after you have Clockworkmod recovery installed, which came with rooting your phone. Therefore, your first backup would not be stock, but rather from your rooted phone.

To get to back to stock you would follow the instructions here

All of the quoted steps are performed in Clockworkmod recovery.

nandroid backups are as explained above.

"wipe data/factory reset" is an option under Clockworkmod recovery and I only do so under the conditions you quoted.

Wipe cache refers to "wipe cache partition" option under Clockworkmod recovery.

Wipe dalvik cache is done in Clockworkmod recovery by:

1. Selecting "Advanced"

2. Clicking "Wipe Dalvik Cache"

Once you have CM6 or Liberated installed, performing incremental updates can be done by:

1. Putting the ROM update onto the SD card.

2. Rebooting into Clockworkmod recovery

3. (Optional step) Performing a nandroid backup

4. Selecting "install zip from sdcard"

5. Selecting "choose zip from sdcard" and selecting wherever you put the ROM update on your SD card.

Hopefully that all made sense and was helpful.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boogieboogie:
i first to say thanks for the replies. i assumed that i would get backlash for asking such stupid questions but boy was i wrong. i really appreciate it guys :)

so when would a person use nandroid? so lets say you make a nandroid back up right after you unroot it, than you load up CM6 or liberated. do you use the nandroid back up when you want to go back to the time where it was just rooted? Want to make sure this is the process if i ever get tired of those roms.

and its as simple as doing the power down..etc etc method?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeAria:
Yup Nandroid is basically an exact image of your phone at the time you perform the backup. When you restore it your phone goes back to the exact state it was in when you made the backup...apps, rom, everything. So you would want to do a backup any time you want to try a new rom or make a change to your current rom.

And to restore you simply boot the phone into recovery and choose restore (from the same menu you make your backup from). You can also have more than one backup at a time, though it takes up a bit of space on the SD card. I keep one backup on my SD and just keep any others I want on my computer.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superman2112ms:
nandroid

Is only one back up kept on the phone? As in the most recent, or will I have a copy for everytime I do a nandroid back up. I noticed that when I did a restore I did not have an option to choose a restore.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
You can have as many as you can fit on your SD card. It should bring up a list when you click Restore.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strike3:
Running Uncommon Sense 1.1 -- love it. Droid Incredible (purchased new this month).

However, I want to uninstall Music Mod and use the HTC Music app or something else.

I noticed that there is no preferences section under Music Mod, so I can't tell it not to respond to presses of my headset play / answer button.

It kind of annoying because Dogg Catcher is the only app I want to respond to the headset and sometimes Music Mod interferes with it. :confused:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XideXL:
Titanium Backup works great for uninstalling system apps. Just select Music Mod from the app list and hit delete.

Alternatively, you can download a file browser such as Root Explorer that allows access to the system directory and delete Music.apk from /system/app

Sent from my Droid Incredible
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyroboy1080:
You can remove most apps by using ADB to get a root shell and navigating to the app directory (cd /system/app/) ENTER

And then typing "rm -r x.apk" ENTER

Where x is the filename for the apk.

You can list the contents of the directory by typing ls ENTER

BE CAREFUL because if you remove something you need, you can trash your rom and have to reflash (or nandroid recovery)

You should nandroid backup before you go removing anything that's a part of the rom or essential. That said, enjoy streamlining your app directory ;)

Sent from my HTC Incredible
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixedlemon:
As pyroboy1080 pointed out, using "rm -r" through adb or a terminal editor is the best way to do this, but you can also do it with Root Explorer if you're lazy like me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gottijr:
I've got this touch pro2 cdma on US Cellular.

please advice if I can sim unlock this and if I could do some custom ROMs.

I've tried to read some stuff but it's hard to figure out all this.

There was a version of USCC to unlock some stuff but it said (not recommended)

pls advice

thank you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
A SIM unlock will not allow you to flash a custom ROM. You need a HardSPL unlock to do that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gottijr:
i was looking into hardspl and when it came to USCC it said (not recommended) ... that's why i got confused.

would you like to be a little bit more explicit pls?

i appreciate your reply
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gottijr:
i would really appreciate some help
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
Don't know anything about USCC, but HardSPL will void your warranty and done wrong can brick your phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Miami: I believe USCC is an abbreviation for US Cellular. I'm not sure what the other "C" stands for, though.

gotttijr: If I understand you correctly, you're saying that you asked US Cellular about putting a Hard SPL on your device. If that's the case, then OF COURSE they would tell you not to do it! Changing the ROM of your device VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY. You are doing this at your own risk. You don't have to tell them about doing it, though. There are tools to get it back to its stock conditions if you ever have to send it in for a warranty repair/exchange.

Hard SPL DOES NOT unlock your device to another service. If you want to do that, then ask your carrier for the unlock code. Tell them you need the code to be able to use it in another country, and they will normally give it to you with no problem. Hard SPL allows you to flash custom ROMs and other radios.

This is as far as I take you, grasshopper. Search and read. The answers will come to you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gottijr:
again thanks for your reply

what I meant was that I've researched this forum for htc touch pro2 cdma and there was a thread about this hard spl and when it come to USC phones there was a statement (not recommended). I'm having an hard time finding that thread no.

I'm still looking for it.

would it be stable to run android on that phone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Are you saying you haven't seen the sub-forum clearly labeled Touch Pro2 CDMA and Touch Pro2, Tilt2 Android Developement?

Both of your questions are seriously the very first thread of each of them.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
Android isn't stable on any phone not designed for it. Most of the people running it on a dual-boot setup have to live without some functionality and/or other quirks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kevinik:
I got a USCC TP2 unlocked working with T-Mobile. Just follow all of the instructions given by the letter. Go over here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-tp2-upgrades/

Read the sticky threads. After unlocking and everything you can choose a new ROM that runs better than stock. USCC TP2 stick with CDMA ROMs and radios. Never install a GSM ROM or Radio.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gottijr:
Thanks again guys. So what rom would u recommend? There was the thread with radio unloc where it says for us celular not recommended. Can anyone advice on that one?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
If I had a nickel for every time a new member asked "What ROM should I choose?" I'd be a very wealthy man.

Either flash a ROM or don't. Either way, only YOU can recommend a ROM for yourself. There are several for you to try. Just keep flashing ROMs until you find one you like.

No one can give you advice on an unlock thread without seeing it. Post a link to whatever you're talking about or move on.

Hi, I've done a google and forum search, and couldn't find an answer so I thought I'd post a topic and see if anyone else is having the same problem as me.

So the problem is after updating to JPM the live wallpaper for google maps is no longer an option in the live wallpaper gallery. I've tried uninstalling google maps and reinstalling the updates, but no go. Is there anyone out there that knows a fix?

So the only tweaks I have installed on my phone are the Voodoo Lagfix + Colour.

I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem. Essentially the phone will turn itself off (I think, it refuses to wake so I have to hold the power button until it reboots)

It happens if I have it in my pocket, have it on my desk, pretty much anywhere at random. It occasionally freezes on the main text messaging screen.

Just wondering if anyone knew why this was happening/ how to fix it.

EDIT - Disregard all this, just read through the entire comatose thread.

Any chance you will make this metamorph and compatible with bionix roms?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sublimnl:
IMO, the font doesnt match the rest of the theme. good job other than that. i know the font can be easily changed, so I guess I'm "just sayin" :p
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] the3dman:
Not as of right now. I am still working on the theme (hence the alpha status). Maybe once I am finished with it I will work on that if I decide to install the bionix rom.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] the3dman:
Currently this theme does not install a different font, so it will use whatever font you are currently using on your system. I will work on that in future versions though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Chalup:
Looks really good. Any chance you'd be interested in making an ADW Launcher theme based on it? If you put it on the market I'd buy it

Sorry if this has already been posted...im a noob and im trying my hardest to research this stuff....my phone is rooted and i have the froyo rom on my captivate...but im wondering how i put a custom dockbar(like the HTC format) and custom icons/wallpapers on my phone...any advice would be great, thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gurgs:
Your first step should be to download launcherpro from the market...it is much more customizable than the stock launcher...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boobie Watcher:
yea, i have launcher pro right now...ive just seen people with the evo icon dock bar and a slide to unlock lock screen and i have no idea how to get thoes onto my phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
all those are in the development section or the themes and apps section. it is not as simple as just installing an app and making a change. the evo icon dock bar (i assume you mean HTC sense) is typically done through launcher pro through the use of custom icons and dock background.

for the slide to unlock, you need to read the instructions on how to do that. there are entire threads dedicated to it, so i suggest you read
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Well, the best place to look for icons and such would be in the main forums, Android, Android Themes. Just find the icons/dock backgrounds you like and make a folder on your SDcard and copy them to that. Then launcher pro lets you change icons and dock backgrounds pretty easily.

As for full themes, look in the Captivate / Captivate Themes and Apps section. There are a couple Metamorph themes right now, which will require you to download metamorph from the market. Also, in the captivate section check the post your homescreens thread and ask questions if you see a screen you like.

Good luck.

Hi all,

I've just upgraded to the new HTC 7 Mozart on Orange and having a play around with the new WM7.

I'm finding quite a few teething problems and thought it would be best to start a troubleshooting thread to discuss the problems and potential solutions to them and that way this can act as a central hub for all queries as we get used to using the new OS!

1) Is it possible NOT to intergrate the FB contacts into People? I have too many FB friends and don't want them all in the People section, it's too big! Can't I pick and choose which ones I want?

2) Is there going to be an ActiveSync for WM7? How do I transfer all my contacts/calender appts from Outlook to the new phone?

3) I've connected the phone to my laptop and it's not recognising the phone. How can I access the memory and start transferring music etc?

These are just the first few problems I've been having and hoping that there might be solutions.

Thanks
