OK so I have managed to get it working again. Ran backup form recovery which seemed to allow me to gain adb shell once the backup was completed. From there I chmod 777 /data/data/ and this allowed me to boot the device.

Everything seems to be gone, like contacts and such, but my apps are all there inc. Titanium backup. I have restored all system data from the Titanum backups and am currently running Rom Manager 'fix permissions' to see if that will add the correct permissions to /data/data/ again.

Hopefully I just now need to add my Google / exchange / etc. accounts again to be back to normal.

[UPDATE] - everything now seems to be working fine (except the original SMS contact pictures issue) and my entire device is back to the way it was last week (from Titanium backup I presume).

[UPDATE 2] - have now successfully ran chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/* (after Rom Manager 'fix permissions' and reboot) and SMS contact pictures are all working again. Everything is syncing now so should be back to normal soon!! :D

on a side note, this obviously shows there is an issue with fix permissions, looks like it needs updated.
[Desire HD General] capt_harlock77:
I too had the "contact picture" issue after performing the mentioned "fix permissions" command in ROM Manager. By the way, I simply fixed it by manually re-assigning the picture for each contact -- fortunately I have just a couple dozen contacts with picture so it didn't take too long. :)
[Desire HD General] fubofo:
Yeah I tried that too first but it didnt seem to work for me, removed image then reassigned for a number of contacts but nothing worked. It's fixed now so I'll just let this die here for future similair issues.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] jvegastn:
I have recently started looking into theming and I was wondering if there was a repo somewhere with icons etc. that generally match. atm the moment I'm kinda of pulling from these theme and the other, there a better way to do this? Eventually I'll probably start making some of my own by in the meantime while I'm still dabbling I was hoping I could find these. Right now I've got about 5k images from the various frameworks of themes that I enjoy...Tell me there's an easier way.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SysAdmin-X:
There are a few people who have posted guides such as the following:

https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcdxIJRSH9ypZGZzc2pxNDlfMjdnazk4OHNxZA&hl=en&pli=1

This is a pretty comprehensive guide from people like Manup and Stericson.

Or check here:

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ns-manuals/3209-how-theme-your-own-droid.html

I think most of it is the same, but may fill in some extra gaps, and is a forum, so you may find some additional questions answered.

I just started theming as well. I originally was just replacing images as well. But the guys doing the big work actuall create their own images (sometimes image creation, as well as coloring). In addition they usually theme the apps (not just the images) but also go in and edit the xml files to create color coded themes throughout the framework and apps. It's quite a bit of work...

Anyways...check out the links and good luck!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Phenomenon:
I noticed a lot of NAND releases after it was first announced. Biggest problem I see is that not a lot of these Android builds are 100% stable. Meaning resets and resets and resets after having the same problem or same set of problems over and over again. Why not release RAM versions too? It's just as fast and even more convenient because if the Android build is just having some glitches then you can switch to WM in moments where you wont have the time to be reset and taking out the battery to make it work again.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCMDA:
Ok, My previous phone was a G1 with a 2.1 rom.

I had the option of selecting "mobile devices only" from the texting app.

I can't seem to find that on the Mytouch 4g. I try to send a text and i get the person mobile, home, work all one right after the other. and its annoying as hell.

Also i have multiple contacts listed for the same person, I've turned off all contact sync with t-mobile, I opened the contacts app, hit menu and selected view, and unchecked all but google. Why do i still have multiple contacts? but my google contacts don't have multiple when i look in gmail.

how/where can i delete any and all contacts saved in my phone from t-mobile and my sim card. to where my phone only pulls "mobile devices" from the text menu, and to where i don't get duplicates of each person in my contacts list in the phone menu?

please if your answer is "root" don't even respond. There has to be a way to do this without hacking my phone
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
I'm pretty sure that's just a characteristic of the Sense UI that is on the phone when it ships. I agree, it's very irritating...

I hated Sense from the moment I got the phone and for a while considered returning it for a G2 just to get plain Android. Ironically, by the time I finally got around to rooting and installing CM6 I had found that Sense had grown on me. Now I think I actually like it! How do you like that...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCMDA:
I got what i wanted, though it took like 5 min to do.

logged into t-mobile, and deleted contacts from there, and then re-synced my phone with t-mobile contacts so the phone now listed 0 for that section.

then i selected view, and chose sim only. and 1 by 1 deleted all contacts off my sim.

now everything has 0 contacts except google.

although i still have "work" numbers popup in my messaging app. i guess i'll have to use chompsms because i know it has "use mobile numbers only"
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
I went through that process too. Big pain in the ass. I think they should give us a choice of Sense or Vanilla when we buy the phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
I've looked through just about every forum and have tried google search. I've downloaded HTC Flashlight apk, but it will not turn on the Nexus LED. Do anyone have a hacked HTC Flashlight apk that will work on the stock unrooted FRG83D rom? If this has been answered before then sorry for the posting.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawler9:
That will only work with Sense roms. Search the market for "Flashlight No Root" by mobbeel.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
Thanks for the response. I'd honestly rather the HTC apk.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sassafras_:
Well it won't work. The app relies on a kernel call that only works with certain kernels. The HTC app only works with Sense ROMs. If you have a stock ROM then you need an app that works with it.

Sorry.

Whats up guys? been following this site for a while.. but never joined lol because i didnt have a decent phone.. Well now i have a evo that i just rooted with unrevoked, as well as i have flashed over to Amon_ra. Now my question is (besides i will do a lot more reading but..) What do i do next? i am wanting my phone to run as it did stock (no glitching or crash's) I want to overclock the evo for more speed, I heard of cm6 & turbo ... (not sure of the full name) is pretty insane fps wise and the quickness it allows. If i could have figured this out by searching, i am sorry i am just very persistant lol.

Thanks again,

you guys are AWESOME!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
Well you can always just run the Stock rooted ROM and find a good kernel compatible with it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
try myns warm twopointtwo. wait for rls5 to come out or it will be glitchy with your hardware.

welcome to the root crew.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DGreen1:
Welcome

If you are looking for something similar to stock I would personally try "Sprint Lovers Rom". You can install any kernel you want and download "Setcpu" to overclock your phone. My favorite rom is Myns Warm two point two, but I am waiting until he releases his next version which should be compatible with the new Radios, PRI, PRLS etc. You might also want to stay away from any of the Gingerbread based roms until they are fully ported over and bug free.

The rom you mentioned in your post is Cyanogen Mod. Although this is a good rom, it is also an AOSP rom which doesn't have HTC Sense. Therefore if your looking for something similar to stock but with all the tweaks and goodies you should choose a Sense Based Rom.

Best advise is to just keep flashing & flashing until you find the Rom that you like best. Everyone's tastes are different and there is no "Best Rom" out there, it just personal preference.

Hope this helps
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evilev0:
Thank you all, who responded I am gonna try out the "Sprint lovers"

"Myna" roms far as the kernel I am not to sure about those just yet. Need to read up still.. lol So for now I am very open to suggestions :). I look forward to expanding my knowledge on here with ya'll. I just don't want to brick my phone, I will die! Lol I love my evo!

P.s do I do the "Back up's" and "Nandroid" back up's, when changing roms and kernels?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
first, DEFINETALLY DO A NANDROID BACKUP. as a general rule, backup whenever you like the state your phone is in (before you make a mod) and always have at least one backup handy always. titanium backups are helpful for changing roms because you can get all your app's data back. helpful on games and the like.

for kernels, i would suggest netarchy's 4.3. he says its is beta, but thats just because net likes his work to be perfect. it is as stable as anythign else. it has a nice sbc tweak as well. test many kernels. those are particular by phone. that is why people with the same phone get different battery life. what works well on one phone is terrible on another. so try netarchy's, maybe kingx's (off forum), and some others. i cant think of any more. i personally use netarchys though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLiKK:
Im on my way to flash Axura 2.2.5.7 on my rooted vibrant . I titanium backed up all my system data and all apps using ‘back up all apps + system data’ feature of titanium. I, then, downloaded Rom Manager *free version… and flashed clockworkmod recovery…then rebooted into recovery and made a nandroid back.

I have now downloaded ODIN 3 v 1.70 on my computer.

I have been reading various guides (including vibrant wiki and bible) on how to root and flash roms.

Since I did ‘flash clockworkmod recovery’ yesterday..do I need to do it again?

Can any one direct me to a step by step process on flashing the Axura Rom.

I guess it’s the fear of the unknown while flashing for the very first time.

Thanks

EDIT: I have copied the titanium folder from internal memory to my pc just in case. I also would like to make a back up of rom manager (nandroid backup or whatever it is caleld) onto my computer... How do I do that? I wasn't ablt to locate the folder.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
The only other thing you need to do, is put the Axura2257.zip (Or whatever it's name is) on the INTERNAL memory card & flash via clockwork Mod or Rom Manager
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLiKK:
sorry..a noob here and it might be a stupid question: Can I also use ODIN to flash the rom? I feel I would be more comfortable working through ODIN.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel10:
Im telling you!, its less the hassle and way easier to do it through Clockwork Mod
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drewstein:
Just make sure you have two files on your 16g internal memory - Update.zip and the Axura.zip(can be named anything other than Update.zip for obvious reasons) file.

Reboot the phone into recovery. If it's blue then hit reinstall packages until it turns green with more options. This may take two times so don't freak if it's still blue after the first, just do it again.

Once in the green recovery go to install file from SD and select the Axura.zip file. Agree to everything and let it run it's course. Once done hit reboot now and enjoy.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLiKK:
Now one more question: What is voodoo and what is the benefit of enabling it on Axura 2.2.5.7?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
Woah.. Were you on Android 2.1? Don't restore settings if you were.

Voodoo just converts to EXT4 (Which is faster)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLiKK:
Yes i was on 2.1. I read your post after i had started restoring all apps and data. i turned off my phone when i read this post. how can i get my data stored if not settings?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
You can't to my knowlege... 2.1 & 2.2 are very different, and if you restore the settings & apps then there are going to be allot of problems.. I would just reflash it and manually setup the settings this time, and then backup everything up for the next ROM you choose..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLiKK:
that sucks. I have alot of apps (around 70/80). I had customized settings on them. Its sad not being able to restore those apps and their settings. I can do with system settings.

But overall thanks alot for a great phone experiences. its extremely snappy now and im loving my phone again hehe...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drewstein:
Two things from my experience.

1. You should be able to restore all your apps you backed up in Titanium Backup as it seems to be able to tell what apps won't work with Froyo. You'll see them with a line through them in Titanium. Just restore missing apps with data using the batch feature. Do not restore the one with + all system data.

Then go to Backup/Restore at the top and scroll down to green [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage and click that and restore it too (this is your text messages). You must restart your phone now for it all to take effect.

2. After you complete #1 - Hit up the market for Voodoo Toggle Reboot app (free). Once it's open you can Enable/Disable Voodoo with it. Click it if it's not green and then hit Reboot Now to activate it. You'll hear Linda talking to you while voodoo installs which may take a bit so don't worry.

Voodoo changes the file system to ext4 which is way faster and very stable. Your phone will fly with it.

You will have to setup new settings for everything else this time, but if you use Launcher Pro you'll be able to backup your desktop settings for next time. Once you get everything the way you like it, backup with Launcher Pro and then with Titanium Backup for next time.

Make sure you don't flash anything else through clockwork with voodoo active unless the Dev says it's ok to do so. An example would be when Axura 2.2.5.8 comes out it'll probably be ok to flash without messing with voodoo (crosses fingers).

I'd like an app like this as well. I found it very awkward taking a picture using the touch screen. Seems pretty stupid to include a camera, and not a physical button for it.

Using the power button would be great, as you won't ever really want to turn off the screen with the camera on anyway.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmas0n:
I agree that it would great to have this as an option, but just as a counter-point: I regularly turn the screen off while using the camera app if I'm in a situation where I want to be able to quickly shoot a few pictures here and there while at a party or something similar.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekkitan:
Not sure if possible, but maybe it can be modified to only act as the shutter button while the camera app is running? I too use the power button regularly for turning off the screen. I am though annoyed having to press a button on the screen to take a pic. Probably the only issue I have with my NS at the moment :)

im sure this is possible. it was done on the i9k galaxy s model. the question is just when someone will :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
Hmmm, I wonder if Tasker could do this.

Edit:

It's easy enough to create a profile that does something if the power button is pressed when and only when the camera app is active, but I can't prevent the screen from turning off.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bajansurfer:
Wouldn't the volume up or down button be a better choice?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
Not with Tasker. Tasker can't detect the volume buttons directly.

http://tasker.dinglisch.net/faq-how.html#c

But it can be done indirectly.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeartFan40:
That's a good point. I never thought of that. I mentioned the power button because it seems more convenient. But I like the idea of the volume button better. :o)
