I use my wicca alter, light candels, use some soothing sandlewood incense. :)

No seriously, I have seen this asked several times so I thought I'd start a post on what you do when you flash a rom.

My setup is Clockwork 2.6.0.1, rom manager 3.0.0.7 and I mostly run CM7. This is my process for flashing nightlies:

1. Boot to recovery

2. Backup

3. Wipe Cache

4. Wipe Dalvik

5. Wipe Battery Stats

6. Reboot

7. Run Rom Manager

8. Rename backup

9. Download CM7 nightly and check the Gapps check box

10. Let Rom Manager do it's thing

11. Enjoy CM7 goodness.

If I'm flashing to something other than CM, it goes something like this:

1. Boot to recovery

2. Backup

3. Clear data and factory reset

4. Wipe Cache

5. Wipe Dalvik

6. Wipe Battery Stats

7. Installl rom from zip on SD

8. Reboot

I usually dont have any issues, ocassionally I get stuck at the HTC white screen but a battery pull and reboot clears it up.

So how do you flash?
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Charge 100%

Backup Apps with important data with Titanium Backup.

Backup the rest with Astro File Manager

Reboot to Recovery

Nandroid Backup

Wipe Everything

Flash Rom

Flash Theme (If I'm using one)

Boot Up

Sync and set preferences

Restore Apps
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
No backups. Just wipe with Ra 2.3 and flash away.
[EVO 4G General] monkeybone12:
titanium backup all apps I use

backup from ROM manager after deleting the previous nandroid

factory reset

wipe cache

wipe davlic

factory reset again

wipe cache again

install new rom
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
Pretty much the same here, except after 7 I flash Calkulin's format all zip. I had some problems with clockwork not wiping everything a while back and now I'm paranoid about it.
[EVO 4G General] jacoballen22:
*Take a fresh 100% battery off the external charger (my equivalent to opening a six pack)

*Backup contacts using v cards

*backup apps using titanium backup and app brain

*backup bookmarks using bookmarks to sd

*wipe dalvik, cache partition, and wipe data

*flash rom, boot it up then flash other stuff

*then retrieve v card with contacts back ana start connecting them to their facebook again

*restore apps with titanium and leave out apps idgaf about

OTHERS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) ALTERNATIVE FRAMEWORK

IMPORTANT!!!

These framework will only work for the MIUI Release Version mentioned it is to work with.

I have to say that for those who dont decompile apks and will never know what has changed in the framework.

Because sometimes MIUI China changes the framework, (most of the time). And if you install this in another version = FC or more FC

INSTALLATION:

Flash in recovery like a usual rom

NOTE:

If you wanna go back to the default framework and you dont like the visual effects, just flash the default.

2) roenano's Hebrew bundle

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.4.1

Quoted from my good friend roenano

**This patch is made for HTC Desire but it was proven to work on other devices too.

Do a Nand backup and flash it at your own risk!!

New Release:

miui-1.4.1_Super.RTLFix.zip

RTL Framework.jar + patched libwebcore.so + patched libandroid_runtime.so

http://www.mediafire.com/?a96lecg517wk3i4

This patch was build for Hebrew users, however it should improve the RTL for Arabic users too.

If you are an Arabic user and have any issues with the patch, flash the Normal RTLFix below.

From Arabic users feedback not everything gets fixed, like the browser, but you can download firefox browser that has Arabic support bult-in.

MULTI LANG Themes for FROYO

Even if my MIUI is fully themable, it does not make the "SEND" button sms for all language

The reason is that no one has made the default themes that comes with MIUI available for other languages in bulk.

There maybe some out there but i dont find one yet. Other themes made by the person in that locale or country would have that of course.

Anywhows, this is a MOD of the existing MIUI Themes

You can even use it in other roms made by other devs.

Actually all my works can be use in other ROMS. LOL!

I made these to make the whole MIUI experience a PROFESSIONAL one!

The MIUI screenshot and previews are also modded to suit the language.

INSTALLATION:

1) Just place all the .mtz in \SD Card\MIUI\theme folder

2) Go to SMS, Menu > Settings > Apply Theme

3) The theme should be available in the Downloaded theme(s)

4) Select and Apply

I have some tips for people suffering from MIUI ORD.

Before flashing new ROM and/or kernel:

1. Nand-backup... always! Should I mention this? :)

2. Backup the next apps with MIUI Backup tool:

Titanium Backup

Quadrant Standard (or paid)

SMS Backup +

Android Terminal Emulator

AdFree Android

3. Backup the next data with MIUI Backup:

Wifi Settings

Desktop Layout

4. Backup all user apps with its data with Titanium Backup. You can also set a schedule at night to backup the newest and updated apps automatically.

5. Backup following sytem items with Titanium Backup:

USER DICT (your dictionary with own added words)

Accounts (Your google account(s))

6. Wipe, Wipe, Wipe (I use AmonRA):

All user data

Dalvik Cache

7. Flash new ROM

After flashing, wait 10-15 minutes, do not touch a thing :)

Power off, wait a few seconds, power on again

After flashing your new ROM:

1. Restore data with MIUI Backup:

Wifi Settings

Wait with desktop layout untill later!

2. Restore apps with MIUI Backup:

Titanium Backup

AdFree Android

Android Terminal Emulator

Quadrant Standard (or paid)

SMS Backup +

3. Run the following apps:

AdFree Android, click on "Download & Install Hosts"

Just for fun, do a Quadrant Benchmark

SMS Backup +, let it restore your messages

Titanium Backup, restore user apps and system settings (accounts, dictionary)

Wait a while, sync will synchronize your google account info (contacts, gtalk, etc...)

4. Restore desktop layout with MIUI Backup

5. Done!

This is how I do it, all my apps and their settings back, and the desktop layout is the same as before flashing the new ROM.

@XJ: Thanks for your awesome work on MIUI!
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Reserved for me
[Desire Android Development] JethroC:
Hi xavierjohn22...

Great work with 1.2.11. It's really fast. More so than 1.1.128 which is the last ROM I had on. After flashing to this one though on every reboot I get the message 'System UIDs Inconsistent' - 'UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable'. Below that it has a button labelled 'I'm feeling lucky' which will let you carry on using the ROM but it appears on every reboot.

I tried wiping the data partition but this hasn't resolved it. I've got an 8GB SD card partitioned with Gparted - 1024MB EXT4 + FAT32 remaining. Before flashing the ROM I done the usual wipe data/cache/dalvik with Clockwork Recovery 2.5.1.8

Never seen this message before and all of your other ROMs have installed without problems :)

Any ideas what might be causing it?
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Yeah i think you haave an ext2 now. Try verifyng, i use parted magic and gparted too.

Fat32 first then ext3 of 1gb, then apply.

But i think it is not your hurdle since you know how to partition already.

One of the guy over at miui dev switch to amonra 2.0.1 to aid in the wipe and problem is solve.
[Desire Android Development] JethroC:
Thanks xavierjohn22...I'll give that a go.

I'm noticing that my home button randomly stops working as a result of 'system instability'!
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Yeah thats a common issue with uid error.
[Desire Android Development] JethroC:
Just flashed AmonRA recovery 2.0 with fastboot...performed a full wipe of data/cache/dalvik and flashed the ROM again. Still the same problem after I reboot. I'm also using a different SD card partitioned with FAT32 + 1GB Ext3.

I think I'll go back to 1.1.28 for the time being or try 1.2.4 and see how that goes...
[Desire Android Development] jeditidus:
XJ... I'm running 1.2.4 XPART... is it possible for me to flash 1.2.11 XPART with just wiping cache and dalvik... only asking becoz, my Rom is running Faaaaast and perfect at the mo... doing a full wipe, backup and restore is time consuming...
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Jeditus,

The rom still has a wipe userdata in the code. So it will wipe your userapps as well.

What was implemented in the latest xpart 1.2.11 x5 version was the ability to install apks in a zip file. Put your apks in a zip and inatall rom. The work is sorting out what apks to put in the zip file. Something miui backup can do too.

Another thing you can do is use miui backup on that 1.2.4, then restore in 1.2.11 xpart. Thats how i did it and am running it now.
[Desire Android Development] jeditidus:
Ok cool, I will give it a go tonight..
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Nice, he he. i'm working on a2sd and d2w final for users with ORD, it will be weekend. LOL
[Desire Android Development] JethroC:
Hi xavierjohn22...

Just a quick update. I flashed eMIUI D2EXT X-PART 1.2.4 and I'm getting the same result with the UID message. Went back further to 1.1.28 A2SD and I no longer get the UID message. Very strange. Maybe it's related in some way to D2EXT? I also never got this issue with D2W.

I will try the 1.2.11 A2SD ROM alter and let you know the result.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Sorry wrong reply.

What partition do you have?

First time flasher should use parted magic as recommended.

Please give details of what you flash.
[Desire Android Development] memphisuklf:
just flashed d2ext x-part and wondering how would remove the slashes in between dialed number. im in UK and dont use numbers this way.

Example

instead of dialing the number 0123456789 it adds - in between the numbers 012-345-6789.
[Desire Android Development] xavierjohn22:
Don't know yet becuase previously that was not in the feature. i havent gone through all the settings yet.

Then the chinese need it because they dial international and has a lot of chinese bugs when you have a contact with international.

So it was a fix for them not a fix for us.

1) FM Radio doesn't work on any of the released 2.3 roms, it's a well known issue.

2) It's a known issue, will probably come in the next update.

3) LauncherPRO isn't updated for 2.3, Fede is busy writing is new Launcher or perhaps he's just fed(e) up with LauncherPRO (pun intened). Go with ADW or something that has been updated to work with 2.3.

4) Have no clue what you mean but it will probably be fixed in a couple of updates, the UI is new and it's a beta for a reason.
