Flashing over without wiping has caused many problems for many people and is highly discouraged. Check out Titanium Backup, most people use this to restore data and it works well. Definitely worth the extra few dollars for pro also. The only thing it doesn't do is restore non-sense homescreen widgets.

The themes also are meant for 4.5 and will cause problems if used on 4.4, sorry.

If (when :D) you do decide to wipe and flash 4.5, please follow this guide to help reduce any issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] achang9523:
ye i figured, is there a red theme?? i didnt see one.

oh and....is there a guide on how to use titanium backup? i use it but hate restoring each app one by one. is there an easier way??

[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
The pro version doesn't prompt each app and just does them all.

Edit: The Titanium Backup website is a good place to start for information. They have guides,etc. there: http://matrixrewriter.com/android/

You can do batch restore with the paid version. System data listed in green should be safe to restore but don't restore other system data as it could cause problems.

Good one Jade...I just type to slow.

Yeah, pay the $6, and batch restore is SWEEEET! Here's a user's guide...

[EVO 4G Android Development] Victor_A:
I was flashing 4.5 and ra 2.3 to someone else phone and when i did the wipe i didn't realize it formatted my a2sd partition. Now I am having problems trying to run programs even after I flash again. Some of the apps are not appearing after the flash like google maps or the file explorer. Any help would be appreciated.

I have tried re-flashing after wiping everything again and I have tried creating a new a2sd partition but neither worked.

Damn it...ring phone ring.....we need to get you upgraded...you won't bork your phone after the call but I know what you mean it would happen just because you are waiting on it.

[EVO 4G Android Development] cetac:
I would suggest a complete fresh format of the SD card to wipe out any traces of an ext partition. A scan disk might fix it but I doubt it will see the ext partition so if that is where the problem is it won't fix it.

Hope this helps
[EVO 4G Android Development] cetac:
No problem...did redownloading the message clear it for you?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Try this:

In terminal emulator:

su (enter)
a2sd reinstall (enter)

Or using adb:

adb shell (enter)
a2sd reinstall (enter)

If not, maybe just blow it up and start over. Copy your sdcard to your computer, and then format the card using SD Formatter 3.0 which will remove all partitions as well. Then follow Mitch's guide to set up a2sd and then Mitch's other guide to flash the ROM properly. Good luck.

Edit: You beat me this time cetac, I guess we're even :).
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Thanks for the word of encouragement, man. My wife actually got to meet the guy (my hopefully future boss) tonight at her pool league, and said he's a really cool guy. But luckily, now he has her number too, so if my phone gets screwed up, I'm not up a creek (or at least I have a paddle). Hopefully, I won't be a jobless bum soon! AND I'll be running 4.5 soon. Today was a good day.

[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Quick question, gents (like I said, I haven't done a full wipe and used Titanium since my Nexus One days) - When I restore my apps and data, does that mean that my individual app settings will be restored (like for Handcent, any setting I changed from defaults will be restored to what I want)?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
Yes, this should be the case.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
I really hope so, or else my anal retentive side may get angry. And you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:

[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Absolutely, man. I nandroid all the time, even for the most minor flashes or changes. I'm picky, probably to the point where it's unhealthy. LOL. Thanks for the reminder though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:

i was just about to flash 4.5 so i tried to do a nand back up but it wouldnt do it. so i moved the recovery log and check it and it said i need 500mb sd space. my question is how do i know what to delete? i wanna delete as much as possible without damaging anything.....any help is appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live2ride96:
Delete whatever you want, man. It's your SD card. You know what's on there. Music, pictures, videos, whatever. My nandroids usually take up about 700 MB or so (I'm kind of an app pack rat), and Titanium Backups can take up quite a bit too. I usually keep 2 nandroids, in case I get a bad one (just being extra cautious), 1 Titanium backup, and 1 MyBackup Pro backup. I generally try to keep an extra 1-2 GB on my 32GB card (had to get the one with the bigger GB's) just in case. Start cleaning house.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcarter2000:
You can start with older nands.

[EVO 4G Android Development] lmatth13:
Can you change the name of the nandroid file and be able to still restore it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cbrewington75:
I've tried every method to rename backups, including RM and astro, once you try to restore you get "md5 sum " error
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
With Clockwork, you can name it anything you like using Rom Manager. With Amon Ra, you should be able to name it anything you like, just make sure it hase NO SPACES or PUNCTUATION in it.

The thing to do with Amon Ra is create a test nandroid and name it something like "MikFroyo45Beta4" and see if it works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Start by deleting any old ROM downloads, prior unused nandroids, etc. They are BIG. Next, get online and buy a 16 GB Class 10 SDCard. I recommend Newegg as a reliable online store.

morning all... just letting u guys know i didnt forget about u and i'll have a little time to update some things for 4.5 this weekend.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Wow...Didn't know this! That would be one reason why I like Clockwork because you can name them whatever you want. Need to check my backups I've done with Amon RA then. I know I've done two of them and have renamed one, so I will be able to restore the renamed one? Kind of sucks you can't rename them, how do you know which one is which?

With clockwork I have them named like mik4.4-good, myns-good, base-good, mik4.5-pre(some sort of change) and then post(some sort of change)...See I'm anal too, live2ride96.

I will test the one that I renamed with Amon RA and get back to you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
WHEW! Ok good, I don't think I put any spaces or anything in it.

EDIT: Well crap. With one of them I did put a period in it. mik4.5...Oh well I made another after that, that I haven't renamed yet. Thanks for the info.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcarter2000:
You can put a period in it. Just no spaces. I have one named mikfroyo4.4 and have restored it more than once after I screwed some stuff up.

Edit: just try it, and if it doesn't work, just name it something else. If it still doesn't work, try wiping cache, and dalvik before backing up. Saves space, and helps avoid these type of errors.

[EVO 4G Android Development] lmatth13:
Did you restore a Clockwork or was it nandroid?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcarter2000:
It was a nandroid from Amon Ra 2.3...Well the backup was from 2.2.1, but restored it from 2.3 just fine. I've been using AmonRa since I first got my hero, and have never had a problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Ok cool. Yeah that's what I was going to do. I also have the clockwork backups I had before. I think I am going to convert my good CW ones over to Amon RA and then just store the CW ones on my computer, ext hd, and carbonite. Talk about anal. :eek: LOL

I have my original sprintlovers nand, from when i rooted, on 2 desktops (home & work) 1 netbook, one laptop, 2 sd cards, and one or two flash drives. Much better safe than sorry.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO SLOW MARKET:

As you use your Market, your /cache appears to fill up with .apk files call Download-1, Download-2, etc. Why Market chooses to just continually add these without deleting the older ones is beyond me. It eventually just eats up your /cache and slows Market Updates.

From what I can tell, there is absolutely no harm whatsoever in deleting these. You can delete them using Root Explorer + Multi-select or you can boot into Recovery and Wipe Cache. I am not sure if wiping /cache also clears Dalvik Cache if it is on /cache. However, if your phone takes a long time to reboot after wiping /cache then I would assume it does since your phone has to rebuild Dalvik. Either way, nothing is damaged.

I have looked at the various "cache cleaners" on the Market and have not found one that clears out these "Download-#.apk" files. If someone knows of one, please share it with the room.

The act of going into Applications and clearing MikMarket Data & Cache does NOT delete these extraneous files.

CONCLUSION:

If your Market is being unresponsive, use:

Root Explorer to delete all of the "Download-#.apk" files from your /cache (root), or

reboot into recovery and wipe cache.

After this, your Market should become much more responsive. Option #1 is easier.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Mitch...One question for you on this. I am going to purchase a different SD card and then do your a2sd method. The way I read your guide I will need to do this prior to restoring any of my apps/settings, immediately after a fresh flash install of Mikfroyo.

Am I reading that correctly? Or can I just buy the new card and keep my existing setup and initiate the a2sd method. If not I am going to stop making all my tweaks and what not to my ROM so that I don't have to do it all over again.

TIA
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Hmm...I went to that location and mine is empty. I did a lot of flashing/testing yesterday so I wipe cache a bunch of times, just not sure if I downloaded anything from market after that, I think I did. Going to test right now.

But I do remember when I was having issues yesterday with the market I just forced closed it and cleared data and everything seemed to be fine after that.

For the record, I think you can use periods, underscores, or dashes in the name. Not sure about anything else but definitely no spaces.

[EVO 4G Android Development] bcarter2000:
All you have to do is partition your card. You do NOT need to do a fresh flash of MikFroYo. If you have not run any a2sd commands, like a2sd remove, it should detect your ext3 automatically. It checks for it on every boot.

After it boots run a2sd check, to make sure it is running ok. If it is not, refer to his guide, or ask here, and someone will gladly help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jadeboy7:
I don't know about his theme completely but I'm pretty sure he posted an update that must be flashed on top of the theme. Did you do that? Also, knowing what you are running would be helpful (hint, hint ;)), perhaps you should put that in a signature so we could help you better (go to quick links then edit signature).
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Ok good, I was hoping not. Thanks.

Now with regards to all my old data on my old sd card, can I just copy everything and paste it to the new one. I would assume not, but I read somewhere in this beast of a thread, that someone else did that and it worked fine. Or should I just pick and choose what I want to copy back to new card. IE pics/videos/etc. Either way no big deal because I've only had the phone for a month and a half and don't really have that many "important" pics/videos. I'll search around in the meantime and get real acquainted with Mik's guide. :p

Thanks

So far as I can tell, everyone who has had problems with WiFi scanning have had to result to a full wipe (that includes a "Data" wipe or Factory Reset) to get it back up and running.

You can just copy the info from the old card to the new one once you have the new card partitioned the way you want it.

You can copy and paste everything, it won't hurt.

I was going to link to you next... guess I don't need to now :). I thought maybe this case could be different because it was working for him until he flashed the theme. Don't know.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nick1313:
Well I found this thread about doing it. Sounds as though I don't want to let it boot up prior to copying files, which is kind of what I thought.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
If you set up an ext3 on your sdcard, a2sd will transfer all apps that can work on sd automatically to your ext3 as you restore them. However, then your /data partition will be largely empty. I recommend running:

su
a2sd nocache

to move your Dalvik back to your /data partition. This will free your /cache partition to handle Market Updates, etc.

If you are just doing a nandroid restore and your nandroid was running on an ext3 as well, it should restore properly (assuming you backup up your ext3 in your nandroid).

I had to do a full full full wipe, and reflash, then in the same session, flash a trusted kernel.

right now... just remove it from the system/app

reboot

and then u can push it back to the phone.

then... just dont use the widget...

it not really an issue or a big with the rom... its just how those ports work.

To all,

It seems that the "remove branding from pulldown" in post #4 does not remove the 'sprint' from the pulldown.

It changes the actual bar (the one with Andy on it, on the bottom)

Edit: that pic that you posted is indeed flashable. What I'm not sure of is if it will still be linked to Apps. I feel that if it didn't link to anything then it would be labeled 'blank' instead of 'clear'. So I think it'll work the way you want
