Can you please give me the exact name of the option you chose?

Coming from another rom "Restore missing apps with data" is the option you should be choosing really. (Safest)
[Desire Android Development] Wario86:
yes exactly i choose that option
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
...and you definitely didnt restore any HTC Sense apps? Go through your list and double check. Its definitely something you have restored.
[Desire Android Development] Wario86:
no no i didn't restore htc app because before i used defrost 6.1
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
If you have a nandroid of defrost, try restoring that and flashing GV with no wipe. It might work (worked for me)
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
the most of all problems are caused by restore procedures. If anyone restore any data and something dont work fine, the problem isnt the ROM, its the restored data
[Desire Android Development] Wario86:
eh i tryed with nandroid yesterday but i have a problem with "formatting system" in nandroid restore.... i now try to re flash the rom
[Desire Android Development] zorro3210:
I have the same problem but without titanium backup pro.. by market install/single apk install.

After some (do not know how much) reboot phone is blocked at HTC bootscreen.

I have to remove battery and reinstall from scratch..

I had wipe all and even 1 time partition and reformat again my sd card

I am doing it for the 3rd time.. Up to now each reboot is ok.. but i am afraid this could happen

Any tips?

A way to know where it "blocks"

Thank you
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Could try a logcat

To run a logcat

Download this:

http://db.tt/DPOZOiC

And follow these instructions to set up:

http://db.tt/Pw37gip

**Thanks to rastaman for these**

Then, open command prompt. START > Run "cmd" [OK]

Connect phone whilst off via USB (whilst in state where you have this problem)...

Turn on phone.

In CMD, type "adb logcat" [Enter]

Off topic, but has anyone used SIP on this rom? How does it work?

What free SIP accounts are worth testing with it?

Thanks guys :)
[Desire Android Development] :
Whats SIP?
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
hi guys, i finally got my phone working again, but now after updating and restoring all my apps from titanium, my home button and search button are not working. anyone?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Voice Over IP. (IP Telephony).

Gingerbread supports SIP accounts, but never used it.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
*Sigh*

I cannot believe how many people are having issues after titanium restores today.

Please read all the advice offered over the last 2 pages of this thread.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Lol, this is why everyone wanted gingerbread bertosch... ;)

RootSU, I think it is more for the states as it.costs alot to call from state to state... however, I suppose UK could put it to use... :)
[Desire Android Development] rafaelegomezb:
I have what could perfecly be a noob (not to say stupid) question: I see people dealing, strugling and getting hurt with the Titanium Backup thing.

Lately I've been trying to use more and more the cloude storage services (very happy with box.net); other than that, I keep on my SD some music and some photos. What I do, each time I try a new ROM is make sure that music/photos/dictionaries/maps folders are there on my SD, plus the ROM and Mods files; fully wipe everything, and there I go.

Yes, once I'm back I have to reconfigure my 3 or 4 email accounts, ebuddy account, a few other accounts, and that's it. After a while of intensive WiFi'ing, I have a fully operative phone, fresh in all senses. How much would I save by using, for example, Titanium? Isn't it worth my "pain", but being sure that it all will be there, without any corrupted data?

And, of course, thanks a lot to our great cooks, and all the XDA community!!
[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
I tried out SIP using the information provided by my ADSL provider but I found the sound quality to be very choppy.

Also, I found the SIP implementation rather awkward to use.

So I ended up using CSipSimple. It works really well. The sound quality is terrific. And it was developped by a french guy so it can only be awesome... :D

As for the accounts, I don't know unfortunately. I use the one provided by my ISP.
[Desire Android Development] teffers:
I use CSipSimple too - much much better than the in-built SIP support.
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
I think its also known as VOIP... (maybe more in Europe...)
[Desire Android Development] prove:
Skype makes phone reboot for me atleast. (After first sign in and now directly after starting app...)

browser not workin

Just went from MIUI to GingerVillain 1.6 ... and nw i can't seem to get browser working on mobile network ... works fine on wifi.

Apps using network directly (i.e. not trough webview or similar seem to work fine), but default browser starts loading and then stops on 15-20%

I've tried flashing radio (multiple versions) no results.

suggestions?

[Desire Android Development] zorro3210:
the problem is that it happens during reboot...

When i reboot i hang to HTC logo... will something be written in the sdcard?
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
When you titanium restore, Android is already running, but you are possibly restoring settings that cause problems which then prevent GV to boot.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Hi, i've been using the TB back up adn restore feature since being rooted! I have not had any problems with it. What you must remember is that if going from different ROMS (like a sense to AOSP rom), then it might create problems when restoring! A general rule is to only backup and restore user downloaded apps (however, some roms (like large sense HD roms load a lot of apps in the "user" /data partition)).

I do use TB to also backup my wifi access points, but also my accounts. I cannot be bothered to enter my Google account every time, so I just back it up with TB and restore after. However, if I was changing ROM, i may not restore this.

I DO NOT BACK UP ANYTHING THAT IS IN RED AS THIS IS WHAT CAUSES PROBLEMS (even though I kinda do, as i backup LauncherPro that i stick in the /System partition first!)

Hope this helps.... :)

[Desire Android Development] zorro3210:
I did not use Titanium Backup.. by installing some apps from Android Market and apk at some point, at reboot it hangs.. and i would like to understand why..

I reinstall 4 times and i can not find why it does this..

Is it my phone, the ROM, an app.. this i try to understand..

And i would like to know if it is possible to have error message written in the sdcard during boot..

thank you
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Unfortunately, if you do not repeat your problems, we get you confused with other people's problems, so its hard to tell which problems you specifically have.

No. Your SD card cannot be written to during the boot process. You can write to your windows PC using logact, but I have already told you how to do this.
[Desire Android Development] zorro3210:
I have done it but i have during the hang time :

Waiting for Device... :(

Any suggestions please?

thank you

I have eventually the shutdown logcat...
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
So that means Android is not even starting at all. Its failing at the first hurdle.

No idea whats happening for you.

Do you have custom partitions / Alpharev Hboot table? If so, what size?

Have you tried to format /data partition from Recovery?
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
Does anyone else having the "black screen bug"?

I get this effect if I want to switch back to another app via long press at home button.

Here you can see a screenshot of tapatalk after i switched to it (and after clicking on it, its the normal popup menu that appears by clicking on a post):
[Desire Android Development] zorro3210:
I have done in one of my try wipe all, format /data and sd-ext..

And same result

Concerning my alpharev Hboot table, how can i know if i have a custom partitions? and size please?

thank you
[Desire Android Development] 777.300:
rootSU thanks for your reply and advice.

Switching to an SVS kernel solved my random re-boots.

Flashed yesterday evening and until now no re-boots observed.

Great but what is the explanation for this?

Harald
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
Ofcourse, every 2.3.3 based ROM has it (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15135)

Others claiming that they dont, just dont use their phones heavily or are rebooting every day.
[Desire Android Development] rs1800:
Thanks for reply, I wish I had this info when I did upgrade.

In the end I did go to link to try custom partition but it sounded to confusing and I didnt even know what step 2 (i think) was. So I looked at 1st post which mentioned N1 table so I used that (with 512 ext) and installed through android flasher.

So 2 questions please.

How easy is it to change tables? Can I just restore nandroid after changing?

Can someone post an img of the suggested values that I can drop into flasher?

cheers
[Desire Android Development] luhu:
Thank you! And there is nothing we can do?
[Desire Android Development] madd0g:
I guess we can only wait, or flash a 2.3.2 based ROM ;] Im not sure if dev's can fix it with the proposed solution in that thread, or we need to wait for Google.
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Don't have an explanation but had the same things and since I let the stock (svs I suppose ?) Kernel, no more reboots too... :-)

HTC Desire

Ginger Villain 1.6

Default kernel

XDA premium app
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Not sure exactly.

Some devices just arent stable with HAVS, others just can't handle the lower voltages it can provide.

SVS is what the stock HTC kernels are. HAVS was experimental at first but its been around a while now. Just doesnt work for everyone.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
You just flash the tables. I dont know with the tables whether you need to restore tbh.

The custom one isnt hard at all.

Its literally

1) Nandroid backup

2) Format data, cache and system via the recovery menu "mounts and storage"

3) Flash the first zip "Bravo recovery"

4) Reboot Recovery

5) Nandroid restore

6) Flash second zip "Bravo boot"

Dead easy.

You just have to remember to do step 6 everytime you flash a rom.

Edit. Before step one you need to have a .txt file.on sd card called .mtdpartmap.txt.

Inside file needs to say mtd 150 25

Or whatever size you want for system and cache. Rest is allocated to data
[Desire Android Development] zetxx:
step 6 its only one time flash, you will needit or reflash it only when you want to change your partition table.

bw, for me "Bravo boot" was the best choice ;)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
No, step 3 is one time flash which you only have to flash if you change layout.

boot.img is patched in step 6, but everytime you flash a rom you overwrite boot.img so you have to patch it every time you flash a rom. If you dont, the rom wont boot.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
The alpharev tables are a one-time flash (at least until you need to change them). Trouble is that they all have their imperfections. I use the bravo-sense table, which while not perfect at least gives more space without causing problems.

As rootSU says, full custom requires some patching each time, but that's the price for better optimisation.
[Desire Android Development] rs1800:
I think Ill be happy with the Alpharev bravo-sence flashed via flasher which is dead easy.

Thing is I am on N1 now so can I just nandroid, install bravo-sence via flasher then nandroid restore? Or will I need to back up with titanium and do it that way?
[Desire Android Development] pilgrim011:
Maybe you should also check, after restoring, whether system, sdcard or sdext are mounted. Unmount them if needed. After that, reboot. That's my regular procedure after messing with Clockworkmod recovery.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Don't know what "flasher" is. But don't see why changing tables would be more complicated than installing the first time. But my only experience is following the alpharev recipe from stock to bravo-sense - I think I know what would happen in a migration, but haven't tried it so am reluctant to advise someone else on basis of what I've not tested myself.
[Desire Android Development] rs1800:
This is the android flasher http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638

It makes it very easy to flash hboots, splashes, animations, and I even used it to swap cwm for amon-ra.

Bed now but Ill try swapping hboot tomorrow. Thanks for help

Are you sure you're talking about custom mtd and not alpharev hboot table?

You have to patch boot or it won't work. Many times have I forgotten and all I get is boot loop

Only times you wouldn't is if you haven't actually changed the layout or perhaps if the file is misnamed (not mtdpartmap.txt) so nothing is applied
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
No problem here, GV 1.6 + Kernel 2.0b HAVS, working perfectly
[Desire Android Development] zetxx:
figure out :)! im talking about alpharev not custom layout.
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
RIL working on GV are RIL from Nexus One, no HTC. Useing complete HTC RIL = white bug and other problems.

The latest N1 RIL are RIL 2.2.1001G, dated from Jul 16 2010. The RIL on GV 1.6 its older, Richard rollback to older RIL for some users. The "newer" RIL work fine for the most of all pple.
[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
So I could use 2.2.1001G? What version is on 1.6? So I could go back if latest N1 doesn't work for me.
[Desire Android Development] mistake37:
Confirmed. With custom MTD layout, you have to do step 6 after installing/flashing a ROM. If you don't do so, the phone will freeze at "Why so serious" screen ;)

[Desire Android Development] redrum781:
Not needed, but thanks anyway. Everything smooth with 2.2.1001G :D
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yeah That bit I knew :)

Oh right, so we are only 1 RIL behind. the latest was the one in 1.2 / 1.3? I didnt liek that. Found my display drew more power.

Many thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
RIL is actually just an interface through Android system access to phone baseband.In theory has nothing to do with drivers of any kind, drivers on baseband firmware (radio) or android firmware. RIL operation its well explained here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902752

The "problem" its that the most of our HTC RIL packages are a "full" packages, not only are ril updates (daemon and vendor lib). 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_RIL and others, contains RIL and some drivers. If anyone use some of those "full" RIL on GV -> white bug, battery drain... because drivers are overwritten (and of course any real problem associated with RIL, like others battery drain, call drops...)

GV <1.2 RIL 2.2.1001G

GV 1.3 Both RIL (you could update with GV Setup)

GV 1.4+ RIL 1.6 again

For me 2.2.1001G work perfectly with 32.54 radio, but... each user can tell you different results.

If i have some time, I wish to test lattest HTC ril without any driver update (only daemon and lib)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Indeed but the radio that the RIL interfaces with does have some (admittedly not a lot) control over hardware functionality.

Whether it was RIL related or not, I definitely found my Screen seemed to consume more power on the version of GV with the new RIL than it did on the previous and subsequent versions.

This is on the 32.49 version.

As I have no issues on the RIL I have that I am aware of, I don't really need to change, but I am interested in the subject
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
with technology, rarely the theory accompanies into practice :). In theory, RIL dont affect to the screen (daemon and vendor ril). RIL its "only" a interface to passthrough android <-> baseband commands, calls, events... again... in theory.
