Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Before Installation:

-Make sure that you have cleared cache and dalvik cache in clockworkmod.

-Make sure that all covers are back on the device (MicroSD and battery door).

-Make sure you are formatted into EXT3 (the format that came with the Inspire) and not EXT4, which some other ROMs use.

-Do NOT use any Task Managers, Task Killers, Task Murderers, or Task Rapists applications with Android!!!! I cannot stress this enough. Also, if you feel a need to run an AntiVirus application on your device, BE SURE YOUR ROM WORKS PROPERLY BEFOREHAND. I have had numerous reports of users with errors that are Task Manager and AntiVirus app related. Also, READ THE PERMISSIONS BEFORE INSTALLING APPS. If a game requests to view your phone book, DON'T INSTALL IT. IT'S SHADY. :)

After Installation:

-Make sure you do NOT reinstall all system apps and data through titanium backup. The system apps change from build to build, and if you're installing the old data to the new apps, it will only cause problems and force closes.

-Once again, I reiterate, do NOT use any Task Managers, Task Killers, Task Murderers, or Task Rapists applications with Android!!!! I cannot stress this enough. Also, if you feel a need to run an AntiVirus application on your device, BE SURE YOUR ROM WORKS PROPERLY BEFOREHAND. I have had numerous reports of users with errors that are Task Manager and AntiVirus app related. Also, READ THE PERMISSIONS BEFORE INSTALLING APPS. If a game requests to view your phone book, DON'T INSTALL IT. IT'S SHADY. :)

Questions and Answers:

Q: I flashed the FroYo ModPack, and the "+" is gone from my "H+" icon... did I lose my 4G?

A: No, it is still there, but some of the framework-res.apk files in the modpack had to be taken from the Desire HD in order for it to function properly. Since the Desire HD doesn't HAVE the H+ icon, it is missing, however your 4G connection is still there.

Q: I flashed the new radio and latest ROM, but my battery seems to be draining faster than ever. Is this normal?

A: Try flashing the radio one more time AFTER you flash the ROM, then charge battery to 100%, go into the "advanced" menu in clockworkmod, and "erase battery stats". Reboot the phone, and give it a couple of days to recalibrate the battery and you should be golden.

Q: I tried to flash one of the ROMs, but I keep bootlooping... what's going on?

A: Make sure that if you're coming from another ROM that you first install the proper Radio that ClearDroid uses, then do a full wipe along with a dalvik cache wipe (in advanced menu). This should guarantee a successful boot. If you've installed the A2SD version, make sure you have created an EXT3 or EXT4 partition on your microSD card using ROM Manager before installation.

Q: I flashed the new ROM, but my GPS is not working, or sporadic at best?

A: Try flashing the preferred radio a few more times after you've flashed the ROM. Also, try powering down your phone and removing the battery for around 30 seconds, then placing it back in and powering back up. For your first GPS lock, go outside in an open area so that the satellites have the best possible line of sight to you. After you gain an initial lock, subsequent locks will be faster, as your phone "knows where it is". Double and triple check that your battery door and MicroSD cover are on the device tightly, as these contain small contacts that will affect your radio signal. Take off any cases (such as OtterBox) from the device for your first initial lock.

Q: I have an app that is force-closing, what should I do?

A: Go to the market and update the application. If it doesn't update, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. If this does not work, go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All, select the application that is messing up, and clear its data and cache.

Q: Why won't my device go into bootloader when restarted holding volume down + power?

A: Make sure USB Debugging is on and Fastboot is off. If these are correct, on your phone, hold the power button and press "Restart", and hold volume down as the phone is restarting. It will vibrate as the screen goes black, then boot into HBOOT as the screen comes back up. If this does not occur, there may be a hardware problem with your phone.

A (alternate): Download and flash the modpack through clockworkmod, then boot the phone. Hold the power button, select "Restart", then "Bootloader". Your device will reboot into bootloader. If neither of these methods work, your device may also have a corrupt bootloader.
