Hi guys, noob question here:

So I installed this rom (second one ever after CM7), and tried to use the "single flash easy upgrade wipe" tool (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=868720). I think I may misunderstand the tool. Someone had directed me the tool in response to my "how do I backup my apps before flashing" question as an alternative to using titanium backup. I thought the easy upgrade wipe tool backed up your apps. But after reading the thread (and using it and not preserving any of my apps), I think the tool only (a) fully wipes the system if you use the full wipe tool and doesn't backup any apps and (b) only wipes portions of the internal memory using the partial tool, thus eliminating the need to restore deleted apps.

Is this correct? The tool does not backup and then restore your apps? If you do the full wipe, there is no method for restoring apps (short of restoring through CWM or titanium)?

Anytips how to get the wall paper and the weather widget. I tried looking into it but no clue..
[HTC Inspire 4G] jhardamon:
Thanks for the help Symonc, that solved my problem. One last question, where did you get those nice app icons and how did you change your wifi and signal bars like that??? They're awesome!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
I told you that I'd be back to MIUI :)

Took dilligafs ROM for a spin... really a beautiful job on his part. Couldn't stay away, though.

Something I've noticed; sometimes when I'm scrolling through menus, the text area will turn black, and stay that way until I get in just the right spot. Anyone else seen that?
[HTC Inspire 4G] pkshr:
When the utility itself says "wipe" how it's gonna be a solution for "backup" ;) ?

Your understanding of (a) and (b) are correct. The partial wipe is to be used if you need to retain your data.
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
Did you use the "full wipe 1.3" or the easy upgrade wipe tool? Supposed to use the full wipe.

Did you turn on wifi before rebooting a second time?

PS. Every time you ask a question and your name is "droid genius" - it cracks me up and sort of lightens the day.

[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
1. You weren't supposed to use the easy upgrade wipe. Per OP instructions use the "full wipe 1.3". That wipes data and boot img

2. Also in the OP instructions for 1.3.25 it states if you're coming from another rom to go down to the instructions for 1.3.18 --- which would include installing Titanium Backup to back up your apps and app data.

The instructions in the OP are written very very very detailed compared to what you find in most threads - and they're written that way for this very reason. I've only been with android a few months and I fried my phone numerous times until I learned these things. Which is why I write the instructions thusly.

Begin with the instructions for 1.3.18 and follow them to the letter. Then follow instructions for 1.3.25.

Your phone will be right as rain.

[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
If forgot what the first thing I noticed it on (Adult A.D.D.), but the second thing I noticed it on was scrolling through Fancy Widget Clock skins. The thumbnails don't change, but the white background turns black while scrolling. I'll play with things today and figure out what else it was doing it on.

I wish the MIUI guys would play around with some tablet ROMs; I'd love to see something like this on my Nook Color.

OK, on to the next issue.... maximizing battery use. I know to stretch out the charge, I need to turn off the auto-sync, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the phone to sync every half-hour or so. That's one thing I miss about the iPhone, you could tell it to check mail at several intervals. Even the native Sense email client can be set to check every 15 or 30 mins or so, but not the gmail app, and there isn't another email client installed. Juice Defender is supposed to do this, but it doesn't seem to work with this ROM; they say on the status screen that it has Gingerbread issues.

I don't need to have my phone tell me the instant that I have mail, but I'd like for it to check every half hour or so without me having to open it up and manually sync it. Any solutions out there? Any other mail clients that I could load up?
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
With cattleprod's newest kernel I haven't had battery issues and here are the items I sync:

Gmail - which I have set to pull from four different email accounts.

Titanium Media Sync - which syncs my Dropbox with my sd card for constant backup of roms and Titanium backups. (except for music folder - too huge)

Email client (stock) - which I have three accounts on.

If you're using Juice Defender "free version" - to my knowledge all it does regarding data is turn off network data when screen is locked - so your syncs aren't going to take place unless data is on.

Charge your phone all the way and then reset battery stats in CWM advanced menu. Use cattleprod's newest kernel and don't overclock it like crazy. I normally run 1.2 and it's plenty fast.

Edit: Other things that drain the crap out of a battery are weather apps/widgets - pandora - music downloading album art - Market checking for updates - and unless you're needing it, always disable gps with the toggle. Turn off haptic feedback when typing. Use vibrate as little as possible. Since the dawn of cell phones vibrate has drained batteries terribly. Disable bluetooth. You can also use Current Widget and have it keep a log of what's using power. Also from phone dialer *#*#4636#*#* and you can see some battery usage detail there as well.

I also have a spare battery and it's thirty seconds to swap it out and reboot. I also believe there are docks/external chargers for the battery so you always have a fresh one.

My home screen button is not working. I have try Go Launcher, and launcher pro and it does not work with any of then. U can feel the screen vibrating accepting the command , but nothing happens. The setting on both launcher is correct.

Any ideas in how to fix?

Settings - Programs - Manage Applications - Check compatibility mode for apps you are having an issue with.
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
Sounds like an issue with the OS itself.

Delete the rom where you downloaded it before and download again from the link in the OP. Also download the kernel 3.6 from link in OP.

Go to recovery Clockwork Mod

Clear cache

Clear Dalvik cache (in advanced)

Flash Rom

Flash kernel

reboot
[HTC Inspire 4G] colbur87:
Uh im itching to try out this rom!! But i love not having ONE problem with the stock rooted rom. To flash or not to flash, that is the question......

User reports seem promising, I may dive in and try it. I can always nandroid back if need be right? ><
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
The only problem I can think of having with this ROM right now is no on-the-fly autocorrect for typing. Honestly can't think of anything else atm.... In my opinion, the benefits outweight the (very small) drawbacks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pside15:
I would agree with this. I just downloaded swiftkey and better keyboard from the market. Fixed the issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
Follow the OP instructions verbatim and you'll be fine.

Start with the flashing of 1.3.18 rom CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD IT FIRST

Once you have fully read and followed those instructions for flashing 1.3.18 then move back on to the top and flash 1.3.25

Which is quite simply

wipe cache

wipe dalvik cache

flash 1.3.25

flash kernel 3.6

reboot

I cannot stress enough to follow the directions precisely as they are written. It works.

enjoy ~ Welcome to MIUI. We have no Sense.

[HTC Inspire 4G] rodny23:
Thank you, that fix my problem!!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] bowtieguy:
by following the instructions, do you mean to restore a Tib before flashing .25 also?

Or, just flash 18, change gps settings, and flash 25?

I am not a newb, but this is not a normal flash and I want to have a good experience with it.

You can restore your apps with Titanium backup after flashing either rom. It won't make a difference.

Any ideas???

You can't right now, I'm sure it will be fixed, maybe today but I don't think it was in the changelog.

Dig that charger, but doubt it will work while my phone is in my Otterbox Commuter. Too much of a pain in the ass to take it out and put it back in on a daily basis. I always keep an extra charger/cable in my bag at work, plus I have my charger in my truck.

Did a fresh wipe last night in reinstalled the ROM and all the goodies with it; didn't do a complete Titanium restore, because I'm wondering if I have had some settings on some apps that are helping eat the battery. I selectively reinstalled just the apps I want for now, and most of them I didn't reinstall the data with them.

Now, if I can get rid of that goofy album art... it's like a virus.

MIUI DEV 1.4.1 Deodexed
[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
Any chance an album art fix is in the future? I've tried everything, even tried to make the miui/music/album folder read only (won't stick). With the "download album art" toggle to off, as soon as I take it out of airplane mode, it starts filling up that folder with goofy art.

EDIT: Got my Google on, found an inelegant solution (hopefully); blocked the music program from connecting to the internet in the firewall settings.
[HTC Inspire 4G] symonc:
Give it a try with the new instructions I will be posting for 1.4.1

Flashing several ways now and testing - then I will post instructions.

This issue seems a little unique to you --- although I still contend you should look into the album art that's in your computer's album art and make sure it's all correct before syncing again. I don't use the same sync program as you "doubletwist" - so not sure on that either. I use iSync
[HTC Inspire 4G] SmittyRN:
I deleted every bit of album art, right and wrong, off of my SD card. Did it the hard way too, scrolled through every picture file and deleted them as I found them. Didn't sync after that, haven't even reinstalled Doubletwist, but I did turn every toggle off on the music settings and installed album art with Cover Art Downloader app. Back into airplane mode, wiped the album art in the miui/music/album folder again, and checked things out. Cover Art app did a pretty good job, got a large part of the covers done and the ones it got were right (I've got some stuff that is from obscure, live albums, and some stuff that is labeled wrong... no art downloaded for that). As long as I was in airplane mode, all the covers were right, or blank, for a solid hour. Once I came out of airplane mode, it started with the wrong covers again, and that shows me that it's downloading them, not pulling them off of my SD card. However, it's only downloading ones for the blank covers, it doesn't try to overwrite the ones already there, so there were a lot less errors now. The google search shows that this seems to be a common problem, along with wrong lyrics (which I haven't paid any attention to).

So if you already have good album art, it doesn't look like it's replacing it, which is a good thing. Hopefully I'll be able to report that the firewall settings keep it from getting the wrong art. For what it's worth, I gotta say that Cover Art Downloader works pretty damn good.

So far loving 1.4.1. I did have a problem restoring from backup using MUIU backup. MUIU would just reboot and reboot, like it was loading a new theme.

I read in the miui forums that the new gallery and music UI wasn't implemented in this build, this true?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jhardamon:
Yeah, I don't know what the problem is symonc....I've narrowed it down to the 1.3.25.v3 build. When I flash the 1.3.18 build I can receive calls fine but when I flash 1.3.25.v3 on top of it, it sends my calls straight to voicemail and I've checked my APN and DND settings and they are all correct. I'm just going to try flashing straight to 1.3.25.v3 and see if that works.

You can wipe cache wipe dalvik cache and flash if you'd like.

Runs much better and issues don't carry over if done my way.

There is a backup in Titanium for wifi networks and you're welcome to try "backup all user apps and system data" in Titanium and let us know how it goes.

For me... i want the best running phone possible. My instructions are how you get that. Settings up an email or two and my wifi is a minor inconvenience to having a slick clean install.

Welcome to MIUI

Dependent upon when you flashed - I placed Version 3 up just a bit ago. If you're on v1 or v2 all you need to do is download the new rom

My favorite Stuart Smalley quotes... "Whining is anger through a small opening", and "It's easier to put on slippers than to carpet the whole world.".

I can't believe this.... music is STILL downloading bad album art, even though it's blocked in the firewall! Woke up and went to check it, the music/album folder was empty... opened music up, and bad art started popping up... checked the folder again, and they were back, timedstamped for when I opened the music app. So I'm going to put in a blank SD card, backup to that, and FOLLOW YOUR INSTRUCTIONS on how to do a "fresh slick clean yummy everything is so new and beautiful" install. (Note to the hard-headed; every time, and I mean EVERY time, that's I've installed this, I have had zero problems because I followed the instructions step-by-step... sound working great, GPS getting fast lock on, the works. Seriously, follow the instructions). Then I'm going to manually drag the music with the offending titles over and see what happens. Wish me luck.

i'm sorry you feel that way, i didn't mean to ask any dumb questions. It's just the pervious version required an install of .18 and audio patch then .25 on top then new kernel so i was just making sure. the new rom's install seemed a tad too simple :eek:

I've been reading this thread since it first posted, and I can guarantee you I know just about the ins and out of installing this ROM thanks to the OP and those who have pitched in with their tips.

the install has gotten pretty simple, you should have seen the VERY original post. :D

The install on .18 *IS NOT* necessary, I do it personally because it seems to help with my GPS. It's a only a few steps of flashing through clockwork, which is probably the easiest thing.

If we can all get through the rooting process of this device, I'm sure a few extra steps of reading and flashing won't kill us. :p

Sweet.... should have known, your instructions are always pretty simple and straightforward. Only thing I've noticed so far is that the "Tools" folder was still in Chinese.

Next question.... is there way to change the device ID from "Desire HD" to "Inspire 4G"? LeeDroid has a patch you can flash to make the change, but I don't know if that would be a good idea to try. That's above my brain cell configuration.

Really appreciate the clear instructions you post... I'm still learning this stuff, but I only partially understand half of what I am doing.
