Develop Bugs

new to incredible thread. Questions for you guys...

hello all. this is my first time ever setting foot in the incredible threads. im currently a roooted eris user, but recently upgrading to the incredible due to eris's limitations. i should be recieving one in the mail today hopefully. i have a few quick questions for you guys and im hoping i can get answers today or at least before i start rooting my phone.
1) can titanium backup restore all my apps + data and configurations, that were backed up on my eris without any issues?
2) which rom is the best so far? i was enjoying cm 6.0 port on my eris but i prefer sense now because im not much of a fan of stock vanilla look.
I do enjoy the 360 degree rotation and was wondering if anyone has created a sense based rom with that particular feature or does cyanogen have a monopoly on that one?
3) does metamorph work on the incredible? and are these roms available now currently themable
4) which is the most preferred kernel? ive read so far about hydra kernel and kingx, what are the advantages each have over the other
5) in case of a necessary warranty exchange attempt, is there an ota based ruu rom available to restore the original bootloader? in other words is it unrootable as of yet? (eris users are currently able to do this.)

Oh and i forgot to ask.
6) is the 2.2 ota released for upgrade or are the 2.2 roms available right now leaks?

1) Most likely not, while just restoring apps should work, apps+data may bring about problems because they are different phones. don't quote me tho. (My advice make a nandroid before you restore apps+data then if you get FC'cs you'll see something went wrong and can go back)
2) The most popular ROM on this forum seems to be Skyraider, it has both a sense and vanilla version. There are 3 more fairly popular ones on ROM manager, I advise you to test them all out they all have their own flair.
3) Yes, check out the theme's section for more info on that.
4) Both kernels work well, it's all a matter of what you're happiest with. I'm not sure of the specific differences of both tho, so maybe someone else can answer that.
5) If you use Unrevoked3 you can RUU back to stock yes. If you use Unrevoked forever (which is S-off) there is currently no way to get S-on. So you would just have to hope if you turned it in for warranty that the guy didnt check the bootloader.
6) Most 2.2 ROM's right now are based off a leak released here on 8/1/2010. There is no official 2.2 release for the Incredible.

Just rooted with UnrEVOked 3, want to install a rom..

i want to flash miui but i read somewhere about something with hboot having an issue (forgive me i dont really know much about this stuff) with it. But id really like it on my phone, and now that im rooted i wondered if that was possible.

can anyone please help?

Can you give us more than an hour to answer your question?
You will be fine flashing that. As long as your stock rom has been fully updated, then you are on the same hboot as everyone else.

Assuming you are running the latest 3.70 OTA update you will be fine. MIUI is a nice looking rom, but not one I would recommend for someone new to this as it requires constant upkeep. Make your first flash an easy one, try Myn's Warm 2.2.

just dont forget to do a nandroid backup of your stock rom first....

There is no constant upkeep needed. They release a new one each week, but you don't have to update every week. Pretty much everything works fine in the current build except front facing camera and 4g.

Since you are new to all of this. I suggest working with basic ROMs first. Something that doesn't modify your phone so heavily that you might run into issues that you can't handle.
Check my sticky for a ton of information that will help you as well as links to ROMs.

Try MikFroyo 4.5 or the MikZ ROMs. They are AWSOME.........

Kings Ultra R2 is pretty slick too.

I'm new to here, but have flashed a ton since I got my Evo in Dec. I found that just going through the process with something similar to stock made me more comfy in my flashing capabilities. I will warn you, it has become an addiction for me now.

Port thunderbolt sense 2.0 to the Evo 4G 2.3.3

First off if this is the wrong place for this thread im sorry.
But moving on! Im wondering if it's possible to port over the sense 2.0 from the thunderbolt to run on the evo 4G running the new 2.3.3 stock aos? I have the same SD card I had in my thunderbolt and I have all the backup files from titanium so I should have everything as far as software goes for 2.0 if im wrong someone please let me know what all I need...but all that being said if there is anyway possible that this can be done I'd love to do it make it my project or atleast give it a shot .... Idk maybe im just making myself look like a retard... But any help/advice/tips would be great thanks!

You could just flash one of the Sense 2.1/3.0 Gingerbread roms. Would probably be a lot easier.
Restoring system apps/data from one device on another entirely different device doesn't sound like the best idea.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)

I would love to be able to flash a rom but therein lies the problem im on 2.3.3 which doesn't have root or s- off "yet" i was gonna truly and run sense 2.0 or 3.0 as a shell or theme kind of like spb shell for nonrooted users so no adding, changing, or replacing system .apk files or changing the build at all.

I'm pretty sure that wont work, but the idea behind it is good. To get a new version of Sense working you will need root access.

Yeah that's what i figured... this is so irritating is the first time I haven't had root access in forever! Can't get any work done!
Im kinda considering getting together with some devs and tryin to build a whole new sense based rom

Close this thread please moderators!!

Guide to GB ROMS?

Hello all,
I like many others, I have installed the new GB ROM from the RUU supplied by HTC and it is "OK". However, i would like something else.
I have seen many guide to install ROMS and it seems more or less clear.
My problem, and maybe the problem for other noobs if the fact that there are so many ROMs out there. It is difficult to know which one to take.
For example, I am looking for plain old stock android 2.3 for the desire. No sense, no extra HTC apps. Just what google would have on the nexus 1. But, I cant figure out which ROM fits that.
Any ideas?
What would be great is sticky which lists the ROMs and their main features for all us noobs. Unless there is one already and I didnt see it

Get Oxygen Rom mate its nice and basic , if u want to go too basic get DevNull
But for starters i think u shud go with oxygen
Pm me if u want to discuss any other details

Well, if you installed official Gingerbread 3.14.405.1 RUU, you can't get root (yet). No root means that you can't install custom rom.

watch the video tutorial too - but it sounds like you want an AOSP rom

Yup, you definitely wanna try Oxygen + it was recently updated to Android 2.3.5.
It's sense free, all bloatware removed, very fast & minimalistic.
http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=149 (it wasn't updated on XDA yet, but you can download it from there)
CyanogenMod7 will also fit you.

Should have read into what you were doing before you updated. You can't root now, which means no custom ROMs for you. HTC updated HBOOT so no more rooting for the time being. You're stuck with it till someone cracks it. Unlucky dude.

My recommendation:
Sense (2.1+3.0) : InsertCoin 1.0.9
AOSP: Oxygen
no MIUI from me...sorry..

Thanks for all the replies. I am pretty sure it is only a matter of days or weeks at most until I can root. I recall the same situation last update.
It sounds like oxygen is the way to go. Once the root is available I will give it a shot. Thanks.

Return to stock ROM

Hello all;
I would like to return to a stock ROM. I don't want to un-root, I just want HTC Sense back. Where can I get a stock ROM or what Sense ROM would you recommend?
Thanks in advance!

There are a bunch of Sense roms in the dev section. Pretty much anything from Sense 2.1 to 3.5 Take a look and read the user responses

I'm in the same boat as the OP.
Please understand xda vets - someone rooting for the first time is very confused by all these acronyms, version numbers, etc. It's very overwhelming. I looked at the Inc2 dev section and it's like reading Sanskrit. I tried searching but people must use different terminology because my results weren't relevant to my question.
I just received a new Inc2 and all I want is a basic Sense rom that removes all of Verizon's bloatware. The phone has 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1. I'm really just looking for a stable rom. Just want to keep it simple for now.
Can someone recommend one?

I'd like to know as well. With my Droid X I could just SPF with RSD Lite and go back to an official original ROM, unrooted.
I haven't found any info on how to do this with my Incredible 2.
I doubt I would ever want to un-root and go back, but if for some reason I need to return the phone or trade it in, it would be nice to be able to go back to the phone's stock rom, un-rooted.

try Skyraider Zeus is very stable everything works,
