[Vibrant Themes and Apps] michaelh99:
My apologies if this has already been answered. I'm new to theming

When I try to apply the theme, MM says the control file is missing and refuses to apply it.

I'm running Fusion 1.2 if that matters.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mentalex2:
I just installed Fusion 1.2 and immediately applied the morph with no problems. Did you have any other morphs applied? Try reboot and apply again. Let me know if that works.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] michaelh99:
Same result. No other morphs applied. I had to re-install fusion because of a swype issue with the backup I had in titanium and I'm still getting the same failure.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mentalex2:
I'm sorry I can't help you. I haven't experienced this problem. I'll try researching a little further. Thanks for your patience.

Do you have latest metamorph and busybox?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Flak_Munky:
Check the folder structure for the morph on your SD card (make sure it is on the internal SD card). It needs to be set just right (if you extracted through MM it should be fine, but might want to check anyway). Also, if you go back into MM and just select Pick Existing theme, then select the xml file, does it do the same thing?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] michaelh99:
Thanks. picking the xml worked. Looks nice.

Question, why does this phone run almost all the programs without accessing it? I tried shutting them down but it keeps staying active on run programs.
[myTouch 4G General] stefvan2k1:
There are many programs that run upon startup and other triggers. I was able to disable them using the Visionary app to gain root, then the autostarts app. Autostarts costs a dollar iirc, but its worth it to prevent bloat from running every time you start up your phone or complete an action like "application installed' or 'media mounted.' Autostarts is well worth the money in this regard. I had qik, stocks, flickr, and countless other apps starting upon boot for no reason. Plus, killing them in task manager wouldn't help. Had to choose 'force-close' option to truly stop them.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
Hi Guys,

I'm on phireMod build and I was thinking of moving to different build, but I fear if I move...I would lose the levels i completed :confused:

Is there any way to preserve the data. Does titanium backup also preserve angry birds data. Any other easy way?

Regards
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] empak:
Yes to the first two questions and no to the third.

(I'm kind of confused as well. I edited this post heavily.)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mafioso:
^^yes :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] motive:
I use mybackup pro. It works flawlessly.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mastajest:
Personally I use Titanium Backup, but another way is to keep your latest highscores.lua file

it's located in /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/files

(the settings file is also there in case you want to keep your current settings)

You can use any file explorer with root access (i.e. root explorer). Then, just copy and replace the highscores.lua on your new build with the one you pulled off your old build.

In case you don't like using backup programs, for whatever reason, you can use the other method.

Also, you can pull the apk file off /data/app. That way you can just place it on your Android\AndroidApps folder for auto install at boot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] karendar:
I second that. I port over my Angry Birds score to every build using Titanium backup. What I noticed though is I need to install angry birds manually as Titanium fails on some builds. Then when it's installed I go back in Titanium, find angry birds in the backup/restore section, click on it and restore Data only. Everything should be there.

The /data/app/com.rovio.angrybirds folder can be copied from the old ROM to a safe place too and then copied back once the game is installed.

Good luck!

There was another thread somewhere on the forums which I detailed all of this, but I can't find it for the life of me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] javip:
@karendar

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8851252&postcount=8

would there be anywhere else that the apk and the lua file would be located besides data/data? using astro file managers any search i do for highscores.lua results in nothing found.

my data folder is empty? i've been playing angry birds for a while and wanted to put everything else to a newer build that i like alot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] karendar:
Are you searching from root or from the SD Card? which build are you running? I personally use root explorer, I prefer the interface to Astro... The actual folder is /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds/ and all files are located there. I still say you'd be better off using the Titanium Backup solution though.

Thanks for finding my post, I must be tired. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] javip:
nvm. finally figured it out. i keep forgetting everything has to be done in root through adb most of the time.

thanks for the help though. i should have posted like 3 hrs when i figured it out lol.

thanks again!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mastajest:
If Titanium gives you issues restoring the actual app, make sure

1. you first hit the Problems? button to get the latest busybox

2. go to preferences and check on "Force to same location"

I use to have issues with Titanium and some apps including Angry Birds, but after doing that apps install without issues.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] webmaster007:
Titanium does preserve the data. But you will not be able to restore Angry birds directly, since it doesn't install unless your unmount your SD card. Here's what i do everytime

Unmount SD card -> Install Angry birds from market or using apk -> Mount Card -> Restore App Data Only using Titanium Backup

Hope that helps
[G2 and Desire Z General] rewen:
I just traded up from an HTC Legend to a Desire Z but unfortunately I have two gripes which are both due to Bell:

1) Preinstalled games and apps. Asphalt 5; Cyberon Voice; GPS Navigator; Kobo; Let's Golf!; Remote PVR; SoundHound; Tunes & Apps; TV & Radio; UNO; Zoompass. 11 apps that I don't need. 11!

2) HTC Locations is missing. Instead they want you to use GPS Navigator which is $10 a month. No thanks!

Anyway my questions are:

1) Is there any way to remove the excess apps without a full root? Ex: with VISIONary + another apps?

2) Is there any way to get HTC Locations back? I see it in some of the system settings, but can't actually launch it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tookewl4skewl:
not too sure about htc places, but to remove those waste of space third party Apps all you need to do is run visionary. once you've done that, load up Root Explorer application and navigate to /system/app/ directory. here you will find those pesky Apps and games, but be careful with what you delete. some of these apk's are critical to htc sense. good luck... let me know how it turns out.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rewen:
Thanks for the reply but as with my Legend, it's all back after reboot. :-(
[G2 and Desire Z General] tookewl4skewl:
Sorry, I currently just experienced the same thing. I think this occurs due to the apk remaining in /data/Dalvik-cache/ files. I would suggest deleting the files corresponding to the .apks you remove and repeat the first process as well.

[G2 and Desire Z General] tookewl4skewl:
That seemed to have solve the problem. I just rebooted and they did not return. Let me know if it works for you.

Sent from my HTC Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z General] rewen:
No go. I deleted from /system/app and /data/dalvik-cache but after reboot, everything is back.

Maybe you did a power down and then turned it on again - since they have quick-boot now (aka sleep mode) it doesn't actually power down or restart the phone, causing it to appear as if the changes stuck when they didn't.

I remember reading that you need a true root to get rid of sys apps on HTC phones, but I also thought I saw something about doing it from command line on a PC somehow.

The practice of preloading uninstallable demos and useless apps is unacceptable.. ugh :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
have you checked the G2 forums ??

This same Q for this same device has been previously asked and discussed there

They are lightyears away form us

I still think both forums should be merged...

.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Agreed, it's going to be kinda silly have the two sets of forums. On the G2 they've figured out loads of things like this already.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
The new HTC phones have a good system protection thing going on.

Basically each time you reboot the phone it checks to see if the contents of /system has been edited (apps added or removed etc etc) then if it has changed it will reflash it back to stock.

Basically you can root using "visionary" and make any changes you want, but as soon as you reboot it will all change back.

That being said Modaco has now come up with a method for removing apps permanently but not adding them.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
That was the original story, but I think it's been debunked now, hasn't it ? It doesn't revert things to normal once you reboot (as proved by Paul's program which can delete built-in apps), but merely prevents you from writing to the on-board storage.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
not quite

Pauls method basically tricks the phone into thinking the app was legitimately removed therefore it doesn't think there is an issue so won't reflash it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
I don't think that's right though. Paul's method just fools the phone into deleting the app as part of a supposed update.

There is no check to see if anything's been changed when the phone boots, as far as I can tell from the G2 forums.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
Well it has to check something otherwise it would not know to erase anything you change like Overclock levels etc.....
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
It doesn't erase those though, it's just that when you "change" them via the tools, it doesn't write to the internal storage, it's just caching the changes in RAM. So it reads the cache and uses the changes. When you reboot, of course the cache is flushed, so the changes disappear.

They used to think there was a "revert to stock on reboot" thing on the G2 too, a few weeks back. No disrespect, but this is an example of how out of date "we" are here on the DZ forums, compared to the G2 which has been out a few weeks now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
hmm, I am still not convinced caching would hold it without significantly lowering perfomance, plus why the very very long boot times when you do make a change and then reboot?
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Try asking about this on the G2 forum if you like ...
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
On the caching thing, there's more in the Wiki - http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Intro . Specifically :

And here's the proof - http://pastebin.com/cm75Z9UA
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
Because that's a REAL reboot

The fabulous fake "5 seconds boot time" is just a hibernation trick, a feature called "HTC Fast Boot" (= power off hybernates instead of really "powering off").

Check the G2 forums, this has been confirmed by HTC.

When you press "power off", the phone DOESN'T power off, it just "hibernates", then when you power the phone on again, you see the "amazing 5 seconds boot up"

If you want REAL power off you have to REMOVE THE BATTERY

.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lovelldr:
So how long are these very very long boot times??? Have had android 2.1 take about 1 minute to load up normally on a 600mhz processor, so surely 2.2 wouldn't take much longer than this?! ???

Anyway, back to the question (in a way)...

Is TomTom actually available as standard on the Desire Z? As I'm sure I read somewhere that it was Route66 or some other software with a similar name, not TomTom...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
yes thanks but I knew this already, I knew this from the moment I heard of the new "fast boot" its the same as blackberry have been using for years :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Raspster:
So wait, the HTC 3d location app that does NOT require an internet connection because the maps are on the phone is missing from the Bell Desire Z..? ahh!! that sucks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Back to the original question, please be careful about removing built-in stuff. e.g. on the G2 there's an app that will remove Google Goggles, but when an OTA update for the G2 came out, the update failed because Google Goggles was missing. This was possible to workaround but there's no guarantee that something you do won't lock out a future OTA update.

Once the NAND write protection is defeated, things will likely get a lot easier. Just be aware if you start removing stuff right now, you might be locking yourself into a particular path (e.g. no OTA updates till permanent root ?).
[G2 and Desire Z General] rewen:
Correct. It is gone, even though it shows up on HTC's website (where they list is as available from Bell).

Maybe we should start a false advertising petition, seeing as one of the reasons I purchased this phone was for that feature. It's in many videos and I'm sure many people will be upset over this.

Only Bell would screw things up so badly. My last phone (HTC Legend from Virgin) also came preloaded with a few Bell apps, and they didn't even work (Tunes & Apps, etc) on Virgin.

Glad I'm with Koodo.

[G2 and Desire Z General] rewen:
No i don't believe HTC Locations and find my phone are related. I can see where my phone is on htcsense.com. make sure you have find my phone enabled in accounts and sync
[G2 and Desire Z General] LickTheEnvelope:
On the device or on the website?

Don't see any option called "find my phone" under accounts and synch on device...?

Sorry I was mistaken - I think I saw it in the Setup app.

I also noticed something under Settings / Location, but it refers to HTC locations.

Speaking of Settings / Location, there's a reinstall HTC Locations option which is broken thanks to Bell.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allen099:
I'm in NYC and coming from a G2 where the phone would ALWAYS switch between H and E (very annoying), the MT4G is quite nice sitting on H. Now, there is an option where you can force HSPA, so you may want to try it by doing:

Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > WCDMA Only

That will not allow the phone to go to Edge at all. This obviously can be bad if TMo doesn't have good coverage in your area, so check their coverage viewer.

TMo pushed out an update to fix the G2 dropping data connection today. Heh!
