[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FinalBoss:
I'm running xtrSense4.6.5 and Cricket v10 script. My 3g stops working occasionally, a reboot usually clears this up. Last week it stopped working and wouldn't come back. I got the idea to purge my SU permissions. All my Root programs asked for permissions except Autostart, ran the script and 3g is back.

I searched and there is no answer on google. Can anyone shine a light on this?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Just a an educated guess based on what you already said. I know that sometimes there's permissions issues that fixing these eliminates problems that people have. FYI I don't know if it's just the paid version, but Titanium Backup has an option to fix permissions in it.

I had my Droid 2 rooted only to use wireless tether and to kill certain MOTO apps. I was "freezing" pre-installed apps, but accidently froze a Blur app. Now the phone won't operate correctly, icons are not showing up properly, and menu selections won't work either. I did a factory reset, but the same problem still exists. I suppose I need to re-flash a stock ROM, but I am unsure what ROM to use (want to make sure it's a real "stock ROM".

Can someone help?

[Droid 2 General] foxkat:
OK Guys and Gals, I did follow the instructions to flash the SBF and was able to recover the phone to the proper operation. Thanks so much to you both for a rapid and effective reply. I had done all the searches but there were so many variations on the theme that I was not confident in choosing the right one (even if there was more than one right answer).

Now that I have discovered there is at least ONE app or service that I should NOT freeze (blur,res), is there a list of what can be safely and successfully frozen, and/or perhaps a list of what should definitely NOT be frozen?

I am looking for as close to a pure Android experience for my phone, free of all the pre-installed apps and background services - other than those which are absolutely necessary parts of either the actual Android OS and (as necessary) Blur. I used AntTek App Manager to perform the "freezing", which seemed to be quite (if not completely or even overly) effective. Might I also ask what you suggest as an alternative if this is not my best choice? I am only interested in using free apps at the moment.

Lastly, since you understand that I am interested in (at least for now) a plain Vanilla Android experience, is there perhaps a ROM I should consider flashing in lieu of the Stock Android Froyo 2.3.2?

Thanks again - glad to have you on my team!
[Droid 2 General] -Gilgamesh-:
Freezing is your best option at this point. Makes it allot easier to put them back if you need to for any reason. (Usually) As far as ROMs, Liberty or Fission are prob going to be your best choices. Liberty being the closest to ASOP.
[Droid 2 General] foxkat:
Good info. Now, I just need a list of what I can (or can not) freeze to make sure I don't bungle it up again.
[Droid 2 General] -Gilgamesh-:
I had a better list before, but I cannot find it now. This should suffice though.

Since your phone is s=off it is doable, because you can change the /system folder and have stuff stick. With that being said i know there is a thread in the development section that has a lot of gauge options on it. If i can find it i'll post a link to it for you.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
how did you theme your current setup? If you used a flashable zip, you use that. If you used the t-mobile theme engine you use the apk. It shouldn't be tough. With that kitchen you just need something to start with, so as long as you aren't running straight stock no theme, it's a quick file dump and let the kitchen cook it up.

I am using the recovery back to stock, which was titled, 1980-01-06.00.08.33. I got it from these forums for a stock recovery with sense.

I am still rooted, and S-off, verified through 3 sources, and i can add mods.

I tried looking in that file last night, but didn't see anything.

You are saying just throw that entire zip in kitchen? I will try that tonight (Can't remember if the zip was over the 9mb limit kitchen had, which I think it was)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
no that won't work. You need an apk to get it going, since you're using stock you'll have to find one of the t-mobile theme engine apks already included with stock. I think androidian is one of them. I'm a little surprised, for someone who wants a really customized look you shouldn't be using an odexed ROM. Something like RoyalGlacier would be so much better. It's MySense, stripped, deodexed, zipaligned, and has a lot of tweaks that are great. Much better kernel included as well. Take a look at the thread in the development section. The touchpanel update included in faux's kernel is worth it by itself, it's like getting a whole new phone.

Again, thank you very much for replying, think I will try Androidian and then RG
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
The best thing about TR ROMs is their support. Follow their instructions for installation to the letter. After that, if anything, and I mean anything, goes wrong, post a detailed report in the thread and they will bend over backwards to get you up and running. Having problems with RC2 probably had something to do with a bad install (this is not pointing the finger, simply pointing out that when dealing with custom ROMs many things can happen during an install), the TR instructions are more detailed and generally create better results. Happy flashing!

Has anyone else had problems with stuck back/menu buttons on the 4G?
[myTouch 4G General] texastoast:
Are they physically stuck (pressed in, won't come back up) or did they just stop working? I had the latter happen on my first MT4G. First the back button was flaky, then it stopped working, then the menu button stopped working. Took it back to t-mo and they replaced the phone. I've also seen a couple other posts about one or more buttons ceasing to function.
[myTouch 4G General] enculturation:
They still function 100%, but they feel as if the membrane's about to give. They don't have that "spring" like feeling.

I can "fix" them by sliding my exacto inbetween the buttons and the phone and lifting them up a bit, but that "fix" doesn't last for too long. I bought the phone outright so I've got a 30 day remorse period. I'm just a little worried that they're going to give me crap for it in the store. For that much money, the phone should be perfect (for at least 30 days right?) I don't want to wait, and then have it crap out after the 30 days have passed.
[myTouch 4G General] texastoast:
I've swapped 2 MT4G's in-store and I haven't had them give me any kind of trouble about it. Can't hurt to try.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poashll:
Using Root Explorer you need to copy the GenieWidget.apk into /system/app. Then you need to change permissions on it to rw-r--r--. If you do not set permissions correctly, you won't see the widget. If you are using TE to copy to /system/app, you can change permissions with chmod 644 /system/app/GenieWidget.apk. Once you do that, you need to reboot. I usually wipe my caches whenever I put something in /system/app but I don't think it is required to do so.

Alternatively you can use adb push from your PC to /system/app and then the permissions should be set for you. You still need to reboot for it to be available.

Go to www.google.com/books and you can find books there.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpeeps74:
Ah, that was probably the part I was missing, manually changing the permissions. Good to know, thanks

Okay i have cyanogen mod 7 on my phone with a backup of my phone. i rooted with unrevoked, i have installed TB and i backed up all apps and data, i also have busy box. I moved TB to my sd card. and that is all i have moved over to the sd card.

I changed over to cyanogen mod 7 and it saves nothing, no contacts, no apps, when i install TB it always force closes before even starting. I get upset because i cannot use any of hte apps i have, and i cannot find the market on it to download it.

i tried to move busy box over to my sd card and cannot.. any help is great help! thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctinsley:
Did you wipe data and cache when you flashed? It is normal that your phone will reset like this. Use Tom manager and run the fix permissions script then reboot to recovery ans wipe the dalvik cache and reboot from recovery. It will take a while to boot this time but once up again most fc. Issues should be resolved. I suggest you also make sure you downloaded CM's google apps and choose what google applications you want if you haven't done so. Once you setup your google account any apps purchased from market should install. Then anything that didn't restore use TB and install any other apps. I suggest only installing the apps and not the data since you transfered from a sense rom to cm. It could cause more fc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butler_007:
When I do Rom Manager i click "Install Rom from SD Card" and then go to the rom download of CM7 and install it.. i checked both Backup Existing ROM and WIpe Data and Cache. The first time i did this i also downloaded google apps. which until you said that, i totally forgot i had done that (my bad).

How do i install google apps after I update to cm7? do i have to go into file explorer?

(sorry for the weird questions i have searched forever and cant find anything, but i probably missed this)

thank you for the super quick reply
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctinsley:
Its a one time thing that starts after you set up your google account. It asks what apps to install like voice maps earth etc. To reinstall g apps you can use rom manager and choose install from SD choose the clockworkmod folder then download then goo-inside.me you should have the google apps zip there.

Upon reboot you should be prompted for what apps you want.

If you still have issues I suggesst you use rom manager and choose download rom then cm thencm7 rc2 make sure to do g apps and then just do the delete data and cache just remember choosing that wipes everything but to me it sounds like nothing is reinstalled so its not really an issue right now.

Good luck I'm out for the rest of the night. Hopefully you wont have anymore issues but otherwise I'm sure someone else will help you out.

Okay, i am able to boot into cm7 RC 1 which i have downloaded.. should i downlaod rc2?

After that I go to ROM manager and i do the fix, then install google apps. i have done with both none checked and the data and wipe checked.

without it went into a bootload, and would pop up a green android guy and it says click the android guy, i go to click it and it bootloads again.

with it, i actually got it to start up, when i went to unlock it, it went into the bootload again, and the green android guy comes up and says click, when i try, it bootloads again.

What am i doing wrong?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butler_007:
I attempted to install RC2, it sat at the loading screen for minutes with nothing happening.

So i went back to RC1, got it to install, fixed permissions, installed gapps, this gave me the market app, and a few others (no gmail) but when i started it up, the google apps never actaully ran, and none of those apps work. Also, i cannot get things like handcent or most of my other apps to work, but some apps do work.

I am pretty puzzled.

thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctinsley:
Okay, so have you went to settings>accounts>add>google? And logged in with your GMail yet? If so you can goto market and search for Gmail and it should download. The "Google apps" did run if you got the Green Android Guy. All it is a script to kick off the download from the Market, so they won't install till you get your Google Account logged in.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butler_007:
Im sorry if i was unclear,

Yes, at one time when i would install gapps the green guy would pop up, but would restart every 2-3 seconds. I saw a post from a guy who had this happen, and he said to update to the newest gapps. So i upgraded to rc2, and i could not even get rc2 to boot, i waited well over 20 minutes on the boot screen, and it never once actaully went into a bootload where it kept restarting.

After that i went back to RC1, and installed the newest gapps. the problem that persisted was that after i installed gapps, the green guy never came up, but i noticed a few things were installed like market.

I tried to load market and it would not work (even after permissions fix) but i got TB running and added apps on there to see if they would work. I could not get apps such as Handcent or most other apps would not work, and i could never actually log into gmail even though i had tried.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
a couple issues need to be addressed here. One you can't use HTC (Sense) apps with Cynaogen. In most instances Cyanogen has replaced them with an app that is similar and works for CM7. Otherwise you have to find something in the Market that you like to replace it.

The second issue is when you do a full wipe of the phone such as is required when installing CM7 all user data and apps are lost. What you end up with is basically a new phone as if it came out of the box for the first time. In most instances you will need to activate it and then put in your google account information. If you had google backup your apps they will download automatically once the phone is setup, which can be a pain and takes forever.

Also I personally don't use ROM Manager to install my ROMs, I do it through the recovery console. I do download the ROM (and gapps) with ROM Manager but cancel the install once its downloaded. I then move the ROM and gapps files from the clockwork folder on the sdcard out into the parent directory of the sdcard and install them from there.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butler_007:
I know i cant use the htc stuff, and i have figured out the contacts problems.

What i cannot get is first google apps to work, such as when i start up it either bootloads or the one time i did it and it just automatically added market and stuff.

I have never had to call vzw and redo anything.. so idk if i am just doing it wrong or what.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butler_007:
okay, in order to do this correctly, in the recovery mode do i do the wipe/factory restore to it to make it work correctly?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butler_007:
anyone? sorry i must be alot worse at this than i thought i was going to be.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctinsley:
Lol, we all have been noobs before, so don't worry too much if your still having trouble. So what are we trying to accomplish now? Factory reset with cm7 rc1 installed so you can start over?

It seems to me that you've been successful in getting cm7 installed just not up and running the way you want it. That and the fact that you lost all apps in the process right?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
Some people have reported problems with ROM Manager not wiping the phone properly and thus not getting CM7 to run properly. I had this problem too. So I just installed it through recovery. Select the option "wipe data/factory reset" and that will wipe all the folders on your phone that need to be wiped. Then select "install zip from sdcard" and the option to "choose zip from sdcard" which will allow you to scroll down to the CM7 zip file stored on the sdcard (must be in root directory not clockwork folder). After flashing the ROM before rebooting also flash gapps doing the same install zip method then reboot. If this doesn't work something else is wrong.

Once you have a working copy of CM7 installed you don't need to wipe the phone to install newer versions of CM7. You can install right over the old one this way you lose no data. Some people recommend doing a dalvik cache wipe before updating but I don't and haven't had any problems.
