hi there

ive been reading the last few days, and decided to flash a custom rom. i had wanted to do CM 7 nightlies. but i had trouble flashing clockwork recovery 3.x.x.x for some reason, i decided to go with CM 6.1.2 RC 2, so that i didnt have to flash it and could just install Clockwork Recovery 2.xxx via ROM manager.

Ok, so i did the nandroid backup. Wiped. Installed the CM 6.1.2. Then my phone wouldn't turn on... i thought i had bricked it. But i took out my battery, sim card, and SD card and tried again and it turned on. I was super relieved.

Anyway, now on CM 6.1.2, im having a few issues/bugs.

1) how do i restore all my old info? Contacts/apps all that stuff? Im not sure how to bring it all back.

2) My home button doesn't work. I have to keep using the back button if i want to get anywhere.

Thanks to the community for helping me achieve this! Just a few more questions though, thanks !!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybereclipse:
Once you sign back into your google account, your contacts should flood back in...apps can be reinstalled via the market (if you flashed the google apps package)

Try rebooting, your home button may work after that
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr00kd:
tried to add my old google account and it said 'unable to open connection to server'

?

and i rebooted and that didnt work, for the home screen. i went back and wiped everything again and installed CM 6.1.2 again and the home button still doesnt work.

very aggravating.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
just a question. If you wipe and flash Sense back to the phone does the home button work?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr00kd:
im not sure, do i just do a factory reset or something?

or restore from the recovery reboot?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr00kd:
also, market place is not on the phone?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
boot into recovery > wipe/factory reset > then you go to backup/restore > restore > then pick that Nandroid back up.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Then it sounds like you did not flash the G/AAPS as well. If you only flashed CM6.1.2RC2 you will not have ANY Google Applications. G/Mail, G/Talk, Maps, market. all those will be missing.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr00kd:
just did the restore -

home button works, everythings just like i left it.

its an RC so im unsure of it being a bug? Not really sure what else it could be.

maybe an earlier build? i dunno
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybereclipse:
I would just upgrade to clockwork 3 and flash CM7 Build 23, everything (with the exception of qik) works here and its gingerbread! :D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr00kd:
well i have the download, and after i wiped everything i installed the CM 6.1.2 RC2 first. after that was done, i installed the gapps zip file i had.

how else should i have done it?

would there be any downside to just using applanet?

GAPPS wont install anything until you sign into your google account and everything activates. Is there a wifi network nearby you can login to so your can sign into google?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr00kd:
UGH, thats what i tried initially, but i was having trouble flashing clockwork recovery 3.xxx to my phone (keep in mind im a super noob)

i saw that link someone posted for people that are having trouble, where you push the flash_image file to your phone.

it said put the flash_image file (and yeah, i unzipped it and used the file not the .zip) in the root of your SD card.

and im not quite sure where that is (i know i know, im learning dont laugh!)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr00kd:
well i mean i have internet from my phone?

but when i first got on 6.1.2 and tried to log into my google accounts, it said 'unable to connect to server'

im not sure where that is coming from..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybereclipse:
the root means to just drop it on the sd card, not in a folder on the sd card

haha i wont laugh, I was a noob a couple months ago... you have aim or facebook or something? I can walk your through it...

maybe your apn settings arent correct and your phone cant access google or the internet?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
ON CM6.1.2RC2 /which is an Android 2.2 ROM/ yes it will install pre signing it..... you can either sign in at the beginning to auto download the applications or you can skip it and add it via, Accounts & Sync to skip the auto downloading... Only Gingerbread currently installs G/APPS post signing in.

If they are having a problem connecting to the Wi-Fi you should still get all the applications it will just not allow you to do anything.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr00kd:
much much much thanks to this guy

he walked me through flashing clockwork recovery 3.0.0.5 to my phone. i had a few issues with renaming the clockwork recovery file a .img, and where to put files and such, and he helped me through all that.

i was able to do it successfully and then push CM 7 nightly 23 to my phone, and am running it perfect :) :)

so its my first day doing this and ive pushed CM 6.1.2 RC2 to my phone, and now CM 7. it was a great day in learning for me.

one problem is, i logged in to my google account, and it says everything is sync'd and im getting emails and such - but my contacts still haven't transfered. no biggy though, i can put them on again.

question - in the future is there a way that i can make a backup of all my apps, and all my data and that stuff, so that if i put another nightly over it, or switch to another build i can keep all that stuff?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakeshow423:
Buy Titanium Backup from the market! It's the best $5 you'll spend. You can backup your existing apps with the data. You can also freeze bloatware if there are any on the phone. I doubt you'll need it as CM7 is very very slim already :D

EDIT: Make sure when you reinstall your contacts, you sync it with google. Next time you do a clean wipe, you can sign in and they will apprear. On the nightlies, you can just flash the new builds over the old ones. I do a clean wipe every 3 builds to keep it clean. You can also backup you ADW or LPP settings so it will be easy for you to restore on a new wipe. Hope this helps!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willzrocking:
right I have to know if its only me but even after editing the gps config file it still only works every now and then and even that requires gps status and tools? At the moment using WP7 and gps is lightning fast (fix etc) but switching back to android as android is most definatly superior in most cases at the moment. Especially the camera quality is bad and battery life is ok but better on android :P

Is there a rom with a WORKING gps not one that works under supervision? as I like to use the gps apps like maps and copilot etc
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willzrocking:
OK well just changed a couple things and now gps is working

I dont know whether Radio revision affects it but downgraded it to 2.12 from 2.15 and left my gps location as europe after clean flash and now getting a gps fix under 10 secs :P mass improvement to before (2 mins to never)

might try with UK ntp.pool settings, and see the results :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Edit as you like, but < 10 seconds is about as good as it gets, don't fixit if it ain't broke! :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willzrocking:
well tried it anyways :P and it is even better >5 seconds is this a radio related. If so gotta write down this radio version for future reference :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
You get quicker fixes when you've already recently had one, I don't think a <5 seconds cold fix is possible.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lukesan:
This is intresting.

Is it possible to keep us updated in a couple of days to check if the quick fix is consistant with radio 2.12 ?

I think it would interest alot of people.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cabalist:
My phone was also with 2.15 previously, as willzrocking i experienced mixed result with this radio and long time locks in any case.

This morning i was encouraged by this post and gave 2.12 a try, unfortunately for me it seems tobe no go, it seems worst than 2.15 on my phone.

In the same road to my office (10 minutes by car) 2.15 was able to lock 1 or 2 minutes before i reached destination (not really usefull...), 2.12 was not able to catch the signal.

I'm going to try have a lock in a plain surface later on today and will let you know the results.

Cheers.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willzrocking:
Still working good for me... I am using the Cleandroid Rom but even though the gps is now very good the network keeps dropping alot and sometimes randomly the H signal disappears and replaced with G sometimes until I switch between flight mode :( so think I am gonna have to sacrafice the GPS until I find a better radio/rom
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] f1ux:
I've just put on 2.12 here in the UK and don't notice any real difference at all :(

EDIT: ooh think i've now solved it for me!

I also have an Orange San francisco ( ZTE BLADE) and that always locks on GPS very quickly...

so i had a delve into the blade's gps conf and i notice a few parts were commented out that arent for my HD2.

the parts i just added/commented out are.

I added

INTERMEDIATE_POS=0

and commented out the following to look like this

#SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

#SUPL_PORT=7276

Now after locking/unlocking the phone and rebooting i get a lock onto GPS in under 10 seconds every time, whereas before it was very hit or miss!

Out of curiosity, those who have problems, how many have the app GPS STATUS installed? i'm wondering if it is causing a problem too.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cabalist:
this thing is driving me crazy... as the gps is!

2.12 was worst than 2.15, then i tried 2.08, same as 2.12. So i did a roll-back to 2.15 and tried to put crunchie's settings into my gps conf.

Didn't notice any difference so i tried to remove gps status.

After reboot i made the following test:

launching google navigator 3 times, every time i placed the phone in the same position where i was sure to get good signals.

Between each tentative i removed the phone from its position, closed navigator, turned off and then on the gps, replaced the phone back.

It took 20 secs to do this operation.

I got a fix each time, which is good, but look at locktimes...

1) around 90" (good)

2) around 3 minutes...

3) around 4 minutes...

It seems like it doesn't save gps data previously scanned, every time it's like a cold start...

I really don't know if there is any way to fix this at the moment but i would really like to know which is the difference between my phone and yours. Maybe 'cause mine is brand new? (i received it the 4th of jan)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Synoptex:
Very important for me too. So my parts:

RADIO: 2.15.50.14

ROM: MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6

COUNTRY: Latvia (EUROPE)

Actually this is the only Android build where I got any week GPS signal. Previously - nothing.

Well, on WM 6.5 GPS works extremely good and stable with the same radio.

I am using GPS Status (to download some A-GPS data, which really does not helps).

I live in Latvia, but my gps.conf was set to europe.pool.ntp.org. I was able to get some week connection today with a fix in approx. 10 minutes. When I changed my gps.conf to my country: lv.pool.ntp.org GPS stopped working. Will try now to revert back.

P.S. My friend with Desire HD also living in Latvia has north-america.pool.ntp.org, but still gets fix in about 30 sec. And changing gps.conf and downloading A-GPS data does not help at all.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
That sounds promising, so I've edited my gps.conf to match and I'll get back and let you know how I get on with it.

Incidentally, I used Navigator today for the first time in ages and didn't expect it to work as I flashed a new ROM over the weekend, but it worked a treat. I'm in the UK but it was set to use a North American NTP server, so I'm surprised it worked!

Glad it did though ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Synoptex:
johncmolyneux, so that worked for you?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Synoptex:
Ok, I tried all that in different ways rebooting each time.

Only one time I had cold start and fix in 10 sec was: (changes bolded)

This 10 sec. story was only once. Now I again can't accure sattelites. Will try to launch with gps.conf file fully empty. Will see, what it does.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] f1ux:
Mine seems pretty stable now, but gps status seems to screw it up so for those still trying I'd advise you don't open gps status at all and/or force close it
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I'll bear that in mind - thanks. I don't tend to use any extra apps anyway. We all know from WM days that the GPS in our phones is pretty good without it.

I'll try it tomorrow, when I drive a mile down the road to my local shop. And yes, I do know the way :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Synoptex:
Do you mean program GPS Status? Well, I'm using it to find a sattelites and then quickly switching to Google Maps. )))

Why do you think it can mess up the GPS reception? I'll try not to use that. Thank's.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] f1ux:
When I open it to see what satellites are connected then go back to maps, maps is no longer as accurate even though gps status says it's locked.

It looks like it makes maps revert back to wifi or gsm triangulation.

Then if I go back to gps status, force close it then reopen it, gps status is no longer able to lock on nor Is maps.

So, I open maps, leave it for upto 20 seconds (usually under 10) it locks on to 2M accuracy

If I then open GPS Status, it says no satellites.

Exit back to maps and I'm no longer locked on and it doesn't seem to lock on again (cold start maybe.)

Then , force close gps status

Force close maps.

Reopen maps and I'm locked on again after a 'cold start' and then maps behaves itself again with under 5-10 second locks even after reboots and gps off/on
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Synoptex:
Oh, well, thank's. I experienced it today on a road, that after GPS Status, my Google Maps were jumping from GPS sattelites to Mobile Network Stations.

One more wish from you. Can you please post your gps.conf in a QUOTE here? I tried now this:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Synoptex:
It can be the tutorial?

So wat was the problem. Changing gps.conf never worked for me and for a lot of people b4. There is also a software called Quick GPS allowing you to choose an easy way of configuring gps.conf.

The main problem is that Quick GPS and all of tutorials and us are changing only the first row called NTP_SERVER. But nobody changes XTRA_SERVER_'s leaving them filled with http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

Let's take for e.g. UK (Europe).

B4 he (we) got:

Let's use http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/europe to check our NTP adresses in UK.

And now changing our gps.conf to:

As U can see, I've added one extra XTRA_SERVER_4. I doubt there's no need to write http://3.europe.pool.... I made it without.

So, b4 I had 2 GPS unstable GPS connections in 4 hours.

Now I have 5-10 sec sattelite fix, with stable 2m error.

So please check that out, report, and hit thanks for all of us :)

Mine seems to work better still with intermediate set to 0 and without the google supl server.

When you 'lock' your phone on the maps screen and then unlock. where does it locate you? it seems to ditch the gps lock almost instantly.

GPS status app still acts weird for me, could be rom related though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Synoptex:

Hmm for me it seems to immediately lock me onto mobile triangulated point.

Ah well, time to sleep and see in the morning what others find!

I wonder if it's mobile network dependant? I'm on Tesco UK ( uses O2 network)

INTERMEDIATE_POS=0 definitely gives me better results
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dakost:
Whatever you try, don't set the DEBUG_LEVEL to 0 (maybe also to 1). 0 seems to block everything so lto.dat doesn't seem to get updated. If it doesn't exist it will not be created.

Someone had set it to 0 in another forum and I set it to that.

I flashed wiped and after that I was getting 6 to 9 satellites within 20s but no lock for another 3-5 minutes.

Read around checked and there was no lto.dat in /data/gps/. Changed it to 3 i.e. "INFO" (5 "VERBOSE" may also work) and now I have a lock within 30s (wifi and apn off).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dakost:
Setting XTRA_SERVER to 0.europe.pool.ntp.org doesn't make sence.

Try http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin on the browser and it offers to download xtra.bin

Try similarly with 0.europe.pool.ntp.org and it will not offer any downloads.

Adding more than one ntp servers makes sence.

Adding the 4th available XTRA_SERVER i.e. xtra4.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin also probably makes sence.

Putting ntp servers as XTRA_SERVERS I can't see how it will do mutch.
