Out of no where, I suddenly can't add HTC widgets. Any other widget I add to the home screen pops up fine, but, when I press on an HTC one, the phone just freezes up (not completely frozen, bc I can press back to get out of it).
Any help would be appreciated.
Sidenote: The widgets I'd put on the home screen before this problem still function fine.
reboot and try again? that usually fixes the little quirks for me if I know I didn't do anything to cause it

Ok guys, so I talked to a friend, and he gave me a pretty good idea of what happened.
When I switched to the rooted 2.2 rom form rooted 2.1, I restored my system data with titanium backup. I didn't knwo you're only supposed to use it for user apps,
Basically, that screwed things up in terms of what settings and things like that were even searching for.
Ah, yes, it seems TiB is too powerful for us. I made that mistake at first as well. Flipz has a nice writeup about this issue, too.

Just like the title says, I'd like to unroot and go back to factory defaults like it was fresh out of the box. I've already messed up quite a few things on it and would just like to start over ~_~
by going to the development forum and reading the stickies and following directions
thank god for smart ass answers. Without jag offs like you we'd all be lost in this world!
No but seriously **** munch, I was hoping for some details in what order I would need to do everything seeing as how there are some warnings on downgrading straight to stock. Thanks for your next-to-useless advice though.

did u do a back up?
sadly i did not, I was messing with overclocking and somehow messed up some permissions and i'm kinda stuck in a loop. Not sure how to enable read/write to my system while in a root explorer and adb is just giving me some weird message about color being incorrect when I try to access system... bleh, could always be worse, at least i'm not bricked yet right? heh

I tried that once with my old G1 and I've had mixed experiences, sometimes I would get MD5 checks that didn't match up and once actually backed up my step fathers G1 while rooting his and ended up accidentally loading it up on mine.
Worth a shot I guess.
you can use someone else's backup, but the unroot threads all tell you the order in which you need to do things, without searching and reading you will never do anything on your own which is ridiculous. there are a few different threads that tell you how to unroot your phone if you just read everything through it will all make sense

He did a little too much tweaking and has it phone hosed up.
Best of luck to him. I am sure he will now do a back up before messing with things. I have opted to do that every time now with Rom Manager. Its nice to be able to revert quickly.
I did the CM 6.1 RC1 but GPS and battery life not so good. Luckily I had a Backup that I was able to restore days later. With the assistance of Titanium I get everything else set up. Email is no big deal as I have exchange and Gmail.
Please see this thread. I had used this to reset my G2 back to stock and then went ahead and rooted it with rage.

So I am running MIUI 1.5.13 and I am having nothing but problems. It worked well enough for a bit but now I am getting force closes every thirty seconds. To the point where it is unusable. On top of this, streaming media does not want to work correctly. IE, google listen is playing like ****, as is audio galaxy. Has anyone else had this problem? I have reflashed three times. Twice after doing a format with caulkins format all. Any insight that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Did you do a full wipe using amon 2.3 works great for such. What kernel you using? Stick to stock one that it came with see how it does . Then if u want try something different flash a kernel if everything is stable.
Redownload then reflash, you may have a bad download. Don't just use the format all, wipe too. I wipe everything except the SD card and battery stats. Or, if you're going to redownload anyway, download Stiff's version of 1.5.20. I just downloaded it last night, I'll be flashing it as soon as I put the final touches on my theme.
Steaming works fine for me, by the way.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
I will try the above and see if that works. I am using the stock kernel currently. Strangely it seems to have stopped. I was running beautiful widgets and I just took it off (just the widget) and changed the vm heap to 40 restarted then changed it back to 64 restarted again and it is working. I was using 1.5.20 for a hot minute but I had a problem with a lot of it being in Mandarin still. Is there a good thread to check out for the best way to theme this rom? Thanks for all of the help!
I am using clockwork is amon ra superior? Everything I have read seems to say it is just a personal preference, but my noob ass is open to any suggestion.

Theming is super easy, especially if you have a base to start with. The theme I'm working on at the moment is mostly taken from other places then edited the way I want. A few pieces were actually made by me, but the framework was pulled from one theme, I'm using Aelous icons at the moment, but nothing else from that theme. I may change my mind and steal Raadius's status bar icons if I don't like the ones I'm using right now. I've themed the apps myself, using the official dark theme as a base. Even though I've switched back to WidgetLocker, I am using my own stuff for the lockscreen, just for those times that it pops up.
There are some themes over on Miui.us as well as the MIUI dev forums. I pretty much taught myself by using a complete sample theme and pulling the apks I wanted to theme - systemui, framework-res, phone, mms, etc. If you just want icons, they go in the icons folder of the mtz and should be named their package name and in png form. I'm sure there's a guide somewhere, but I don't know one off the top of my head. If you do find one, make sure it's fairly recent since they've been making a lot of changes to the UI.
Also, if you weren't using the miui.us English version of 1.5.20, try that one.

Can you explain the difference between format all and wipe?
I am helping a friend with his Droid Incredible. I have an Inspire 4G and have become very comfortable flashing ROMs on my phone. When I flash a new ROM, I boot into recovery and choose all of the format options that are available, then I mount the SD card and transfer the ROM to the SD card. Next, I install the ROM and reboot. This has worked great for me.
My friend used Urevoked to root his phone and installed MIUI using this same method and he is having a lot of issues with force closes. In some apps, like Dropbox, he can log in but it never transfers data. My research to help him out let me to this thread and then your post intrigued me.
Maybe I don't have an understanding of what is meant by a full-wipe. I thought the method I did with my Inspire was providing that task. Can you help me understand further.
I did pass the information about Amon Ra to him and he may try that.
Thanks,
Roger
so this was posted today over on the miui forums and it looks to be pretty cool. its supposedly designed for SGS2, but he says it should work for all phones. but i asked how to apply it, and the guy just said ''recovery''. in the OP, he edited it to say "you must mount system, data and sdcard before you flash it". i still have NO idea what it means, and he didnt clarify after i asked... so i wanted to know if my XDA family can help me out? how would i do this?
http://forums.miuiandroid.com/showt...-wallpapers-themes-amp-more&p=78555#post78555
just flash it in recovery and see what happens?
sounds like he is pretty sure it will give an error, side note it looks like a lot of bloat to me>
ya but you can go right into the files and edit what you dont want. i too am afraid of the warning. and i just had to wipe my phone last night because of stupid apps2sd epic failure... for the second time... i dont feel like doing that AGAIN. ill probably do THAT in a couple days LOL. unless, of course, i get some help here...

the puzzle lock screen works
and a bunch of ring tones
i see no widgets:
-LG calender
-LG news
-LG clocks (A - L-O-T) -
-LG weather clock
-LG world clock
-LG Today schedule
-LG Today schedule + Weather
-TypoCLock
OK I do believe this to be kinda cool..this will only work on MIUI 1.7.29 from what the op says
So then, it's basically useless, since 1,8,5 comes out today, which will have a whole new framework
I dont know, just fun to kill time with.
Maybe nothing below 1.7.29 We all know bigger is better

Ok, maybe someone has an idea here:
I started installing custom roms on my HOX a few weeks ago, and started with InsertCoin (ICS) because of the stability. Everything worked - this is my goto Nandroid backup, and I'm going back to it a lot. Now I've been playing around with Jelly Bean roms, specifically LorD's Ice Cold Jelly 0.7 AOKP and tbalden's CM 10 Alpha 1.2.
I had a couple of problems with the former, and everything seems to work fine with the latter, except a very strange issue I have with both. For some reason, a reboot resets all my apps' setting. This is most in the Launcher (Nova AND Apex, same problem), where all the widgets I have added disappear after every reboot, and my custom keyboard choice, Swiftkey. After every reboot, swiftkey is disabled, and the stock keyboard is back.
Since everything works fine with ICS, I've been thinking maybe there is some security setting or the like that prevents my changes from being saved?
I'd appreciate any ideas - I really like Jelly Bean!
I'm using CM10 Alpha 1 v2 from tbalden and don't have any of this problems. I'm using Trebuchet though, so maybe it's a launcher-based problem?
Greetings

I just checked. Trebuchet also loses widgets after reboot for me. Is it possible that it's just some apps that aren't JB-ready yet that are reset every time (like Advanced Clock Widget, for example)?
This is from the 'Issues' section of both of those ROMs:

I dunno, it could be the issue very clearly explained in the threads for both of those ROMs given it's exactly what you're complaining about.

Hello all,
Long time lurker, just wanted to share an issue I had.
I've flashed nearly every ROM that is out there since I got my SGS3 and have never had any GPS issues, however this weekend I used it without a problem but Tuesday all of a sudden turning it on and off still produced nothing...not even the increased battery drain from having GPS on.
Here's what I did in hopes that it can help someone or at least give some knowledge as there wasn't a lot out there when I searched:
1.) Restored a previous Nandroid that I knew had a working GPS --- Result = FAIL
2.) Searched XDA and Google...found a video with some USSD codes for the dialer, etc.. ---- Result = FAIL
3.) Pulled battery and sim card, etc... --- Result = FAIL
4.) Flashed Wicked as I know that is a stable and highly used ROM. Everything great but still no GPS. ---- Result = FAIL
5.) Found a suggestion about clearing cache in google framework, Maps and uninstalling Maps updates. Result = FAIL
**however Play Store wouldn't let me update Maps when I rebooted as it said it wasn't compatible with my phone. No clue why.
6.) Finally I decided to do Triangle Away and Chainfires unrooting procedure to get back to unrooted stock. ---Result = SUCCESS!
Not sure what about it made GPS come back, however the next step will of course be to root again and see if there are any issues.
Hope this helps someone who ends up in my situation. Feel free to PM if you need more details.
Thanks to all
Edit: Just as an FYI -- when I rooted again, GPS was still back and I've had no issues since.
Thanks man, I like threads like these because you never know when you may need them. Same issue for me. On CM10 ROMs,I have trouble locking onto GPS, and the fix for me has been downloading GPS test and running that before using something like navigation.it's a minor inconvenience but it works great
Overall, if you have something borked, no matter what rom you use... no matter how many times you wipe... odin back to stock, should fix it always.

True, but honestly, that doesn't always work. I have a second SGS3 Pebble Blue 32GB, and it won't play nice with Lean Kernel/Ktoonz, unless it's the touchwiz based kernels, whereas my white 16GB runs all of them flawlessly. They were rooted and booted the same way, and they both have the same GPS issue.
Out of curiosity, what's the chainfire way of going back to stock?
Also, do we have any guides here/on youtube that detail how to odin back to stock. I'm gonna give it a go on the blue one again/cross my fingers hoping I made a mistake, hence why I want a guide lol! *Searches*
thanks for the info jpk17!

The only time my gps was ever messed up was when i used a sprint leak JB rom and had the gps turned off. Flashed a couple roms after no gps whatsoever. Odin'ed with 2 or 3 different versions and still couldnt get the gps back.
Finally I flashed another JB rom based on the sprint leak and turned GPS back on and everything started working again. Lesson learned on using sprint leaks lol.
Had op's problem myself before, and full wiping and Odin'ing back to stock actually didn't work.. what did work though was after full unroot, doing tmo ota update.
Who knows, this info could help someone out as well..

What Im seeing is that the little Icon in the upper status bar never shows. Like ether it doesnt even see a SAT, or the receiver in my phone isnt even turning on.
If i cant figure out, i guess ill go back to Tmo....

What I did was go to a stock ics based Rom then triangle away and then I followed the site that op posted. The download was ridiculously slow. Took like an hour for 690mb. That should do the trick. Do it in that order

I went to wild child stock just before i unrooted and went to Stock Tmo form the guide above. I didnt think that would have made a difference.
Im not gonna root and go to store, so ill go to store and see what they say.
The reason i went to the wildchild stock based ICS rom was hope that I wouldnt have to unroot....
