[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent0014:
So I'm not entirely sure where to start with this one. I'm running myn's roms... was on RLS3 and went to update to RLS4 the other day. Did a nandroid backup via clockwork/ROM manager. The install of the new ROM took forever (over 30 minutes) and when it finished, for whatever reason clockwork didn't restart automatically like it usually does. When I did reboot the unit, it hung forever (I actually left it plugged in and booting while I took an hour nap)... so I finally rebooted it into recovery and restored my backup.

When the backup loaded I reset the phone, and the image was very broken. Actually to be fair, the image seemed fine... except for whatever system android uses to keep track of installed apps was corrupted. Most of my apps were missing, including core google ones. The marketplace, all of my file browsing apps (astro and root explorer) and even things like live wallpapers and maps were missing.

Next, I tried several things, including doing a fresh wipe and install of a working ROM (tried both myn 2 and 3) and then tried restoring my backup again... no matter what the backup took me to this point (and yes I understand why that is... I was just hoping that the restore wasn't actually restoring some file that the ROM would put back... as unlikely as that was).

So at this point I'm over losing all my stuff to reinstall ... but I really want to keep my text messages and call history. I can't get anything installed to back them up though... since the market is missing, as well as anything like astro, etc. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for extracting the SMS/MMS and call history stuff out of the backup I have... or getting them backed up somehow when I'm loaded into my botched recovery. I still have full internet, call and SMS access... so if there were some web-based backup I could even run that (although I don't think there is). I'm at a bit of a loss... I'd really like to get the data I want backed up before I start new. At the moment I'm still using the phone as I can still get core functionality.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know. Thanks!

install AMON recovery to do your NAND's, install SMS backup and that will save your texts, and titanium backup any apps you want saved with data. thats how i do it, oh and install app brain as well to keep track of your installed apps

It sucked when romanger and clock work broke for me. Never again.

Clock doesn't wipe correctly. Search it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent0014:
Thanks... appreciate the reply... although still hoping someone can point me in the right direction to get what I currently have backed up considering the half-broken state my phone is currently in... either getting it out of the backup file somehow or somehow getting stuff installed on my phone without a market or a file manager.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlGmanlx:
If you flash the rom overtop of itself you want lose anything, so try that
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent0014:
So oddly enough that didn't work in of itself... but it did start me in the right direction. Most of my apps were still missing, but for whatever reason reflashing the rom made Astro re-appear in my app drawer. From there I browsed to the system/app folder and was able to install MyBackup Pro over itself somehow. I ran that to backup all my user data and wiped clean. My texts and other data are restoring right now on the fresh image.

So clockwork is definitely the culprit? What's a good alternative? I got used to using that for so long, I'm not even sure what else is out there anymore.

Thanks for your help G'man!

Hi everyone. I switched my stock ROM on my Aria to the Liberated R012. But recently, I switched to the Liberated FR007 and I noticed the live wallpapers selection. I want to switch back to R012 because I like the speed on it. But I noticed that it isn't able to set live wallpapers. Is there an app for 2.1 that allows live wallpapers to be set?

Hey guys,

I am new to flashing and rooting and stuff and am needing some help with all this. I'm kinda getting lost in the forums, reading all this stuff :) I have a stock Vibrant that i want to root and put a Froyo rom on it. I am currently on 2.1 of course. Can anyone kinda guide me through this?

Thanks!

[Vibrant General] sisco22:
Thanks guys, I'm going to have to read this more carefully apparently. Let me ask this before i do anything to the phone. What backup program should i get if i need to restore it back to stock everything? I want to make sure i have that done before i try any of this. I've done Iphones and stuff, unlocking them and jailbreaking them, those were a piece of cake, but never done a custom rom on an android phone before, nor have i ever rooted one. so im kinda nervous at all this :)
[Vibrant General] jlvs021:
you should make a nandroid backup, that will be a failsafe but your lifesaver will be odin. when you think you bricked your phone it will rise from the grave. i love odin
[Vibrant General] swehes:
Use Odin to get back to Stock. The Bible in the Development thread has the links for Odin download, also the links for the stock android ROMs to odin back to. Make sure you can get into the Download mode before doing anything. Especially using your hardware keys. (to verify that your phone is not hardware locked). If it is you have to install the JI6 to get the hardware key issue fixed.

thanks guys, the videos are a big help. 2 things that im trying to find is the Odin download and the Nandroid download. Can't seem to find a link for those.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ the noob guide has a link to download ODIN (and the files needed).

The ALT METHOD listed is Froyo with root already enabled... doesnt get much easier! It's in my signature, or the sticky in the Q&A section.

Also, to clarify, once you use ODIN and flash this (which gives you froyo+root) you can download Rom Manager from the market.... you use it to instal clockwork recovery.... you use clockwork recovery to make a nandroid backup of your system. You can't do this until you have root.

You would need to root and download rom manager

install clockwork recovery

move the .zip to sdcard/ (internal memory)

reboot into recovery

flash the file

reboot

but please read my guide... if it doesnt make it obvious, please let me know what needs to be updated.
[Vibrant General] sisco22:
Thanks for your help! I finally understand all of it. Apparently the Flash Clockworks didn't install correctly...so when i tried to open the zip it would open. I installed Axura on it just now and it looks like its running smoothly! Thanks for everyone's help and sticking with me!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mugsaway:
So I am rooted and flashed Myn's RLS#4. No problems

Now I am adding a few new items but am confused with a few things.

Titanium Backup

ROM Manager

Nandroid backup

Most of what I read says to do a Nandroid backup. I know how to, but where does Titanium Backup and ROM Manager come into play. Do I need to do all?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alekosy:
Titanium Backup - saves your applications on SD card so that it may save and re-use on a new ROM

ROM Manager - Download new ROMs onto your sd card to flash

Nandroid backup - Only takes a backup of your whole actual phone so that you can go back and start over from the first backup in case a problem or bug or accident in the system occurs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willy900wonka:
Only Amon_Ra's recovery makes nandroids which back up your 4G radio parameters. You might try searching, use google instead of the xda forum tools, just include"xda evo" in the search line.

Best Camera Option

Hy,im a newb on the site.

I have my Xperia X10i for about a year now,and i have almost everything done on it,started from 1.6,now here with all sorts of roms

i have from root to BL unlocked using latest kernels n basebands.

Personally,in my opinion,keeping stock froyo(2.1) is the best camera rom,because of the optimization...and then,best camera app i think is vignete....so far didnt find anything better.

Now im using M&Ms miui FXP kernel and i have to admit stock camera app is out of focus,hence,vignette is out of focus too..wether i use macro or any other mod...its so bad i need a revolver...and yesterday i rolled back to 2.1 froyo and the difference in macro is HUGE.now im trying to find some compromise.

1.Does any1 know if GB(2.3.3) has the same camera precision as older 2.1 froyo? i heard complaints with 720p recordings....

2.Can you use a mutual baseband between the 2?.Im pretty shure you can use 2.3.3 with .71 baseband,exactly the one that fxp kernel uses so you can "dual boot" via cwm the CAMERA ROM( some stock rom...) and your CUSTOM ROM(for normal use)

3.Can you mod 2.1 to work with .71 baseband???

Thanks to all dev`s who are working on these older phones even when theyre so outdated!!!<3
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramhead:
I am using HDR camera. It's worth of trying :).
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THeLogiC:
I think .71 would work only on 2.3.3 and not 2.1

I dont find my camera so out of focus. I am using cm7zmod and its working fine. I just compared pic between my X10 running cm7zmod and my dad's x10 running 1.6(donut lol).

The problem is you are using rom based on cm7 by fxp which has some problem with camera with focus I guess. You should use stock based roms which have original camera app/libs which is the best :)

btw 2.1 is eclairs not froyo :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TesseractE:
HDR Camera is awesome, I just wish my hands here more steady. I always get very slight smudges in the composite image due to jitters.

That said, I usually use Vignette with the 'image stabilisation' turned on. It doesn't do anything fancy other than use the motion sensor to wait until the phone's being held still enough to take the shot.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_Dragon76:

Pink screen problem

Hi

I've had a similar problem with my galaxy s, all the whites now appear pink. I change the entire front with another galaxy s but same problem.

My screen works fine in other galaxy so it can't be a screen issue, cos the other screen is pink in my phone.

Anyone experience anything similar or even have a resolution?

Any help appreciated,

Hi,

Just moved from the Desire to the Desire HD and there is one thing that is bugging the hell outta me. I like to have delivery reports turned on for SMS messages, and on the Desire, this was perfect. To see a delivery report, I just held on the message and tapped Delivery report. It would show, Delivered, Failed or Pending. Nice. Non-intrusive.

NOW, on the Desire HD, I've enabled Delivery Reports, BUT, I now get a notification in the Status Bar area and a notification alert, like a new message has come in.

Does anyone know, cause I can't seem to find out how, to disable the Notification of Delivery Reports? I want the reports, but not the "new message" like notification. I hope someone can help, cause in all honesty, this is a deal breaker for me with this phone! :(

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
I have SMS delivery reports turned on but get no notification icon.

This could be because I use SMS Popup app and have turned notifications in the HTC SMS settings (otherwise I would get double notifications).

The main purpose of SMS Popup is to show a pop-up of your SMS (funnily enough!) as you get them, but you can turn that off and just use it to customise your notifications icons and various other tasks. It's very unintrusive and in over 18 months of using it on different phones I've never had a problem with it.

Might be worth a try for you guys...
