I recently successfully rooted my HTC Incredible and am running the Sense ROM. I received a update notification for a live wallpaper, Particle Storm, and performed the update. Then I applied the live wallpaper. I wanted to reset it back to the HTC static wallpaper. When I went into Menu>Wallpaper>HTC Wallpaper, it was showing a blank screen with none of the HTC wallpapers available to be changed. I looked in the system/customize/resources folder via Astro and all the HTC wallpapers were there. I went back into the Wallpaper menu and tried to apply it via Gallery through Astro. It would state that the wallpaper had been changed, but it wouldn't actually change the wallpaper. I tried applying the wallpapers directly from Astro, but Gallery would Force Close and the wallpaper wouldn't change.
I looked on several forums and people suggested rebooting the device or taking the battery out and re-inserting it. Neither of these worked to any effect. I tried to revert back to a saved backup of the Sense ROM, and although my previous wallpaper was restored, I still am unable to change the static wallpapers.
I apologize for boring you with the details, but I would appreciate if someone could tell me what the problem is and if there is a fix for it. Also, I apologize if I overlooked a thread that answered this question.
Try reinstalling your entire ROM fresh - not a backup. Wipe the dalvik cache too, first. Hope that helps!

I hope you've uninstalled Particle Storm. That would be the first thing I would have tried. Was the backup you restored prior to installing Particle Storm?

I'm sorry for being AWOL for a while, was traveling and busy. I did uninstall Particle Storm and that didn't help. I will try and re-installing a fresh Sense ROM and see if that fixes it.
I wanted to try CM6, since I heard many good things about it, so I installed that, and I like it a lot better than Sense. If I do decide to go back to it, I'll install a fresh version.
Again, sorry for not responding earlier. Thanks again.

Hi,
After having the Desire for a year now I finally decided to root and flash a rom. Got through the root pretty well but am now struggling with the rom.
I flashed Oxygen and all looked and felt great until i tried to add a shortcut and widget to my front screen as it never did anything when i chose the option. Then when I pressed the lock button the screen would not boot back up. The key pad lit up but no screen. I took the battery out and rebooted but still the same thing happened.
Ive now done a nadroid restore and back to the stock rom but like the simplicity of Oxygen. Any idea's what it could have been? Can you put widgets and shortcuts on roms?
Before installing i did a facory reset, are there any other resets i need to do?
Sorry for all the questions,
Thx
Hmmmm would seem something messed up. You can try reflashing it. That usually works with a rom (has done for me before). I don't know what launcher Oxygen comes with but you can try another launcher for free and see if that's any different.
When you change to a different rom, you should do a factory reset and wipe the Dalvik cache as well. If your upgrading a rom, you don't need to wipe anything.
To be honest, I am going to install Oxygen and see if there are any errors with it because a lot of people seem to be having issues with it.
**EDIT**
I installed Oxygen RC7 no problems at all. Did data wipe, cache wipe and Dalvik cache wipe then installed it. Added widgets, apps and shortcuts to the launcher.
I guess something messed up for you to wipe as I said above and flash it again.
Cheers for that, i'll give it another try later.
Is it worth updating my radio as there seems to be a lot of debate to weather you need to despite some roms requesting specific radios?
Just re flashed it and everything is working great thx.
Flashing a radio helps if your having problems with data connections on your current radio. To be honest, I just flash the current radio anyway just in case but it isn't necessary.
how do i get the htc flip clock on stock evo rom rooted
Go to add widgets - select the clock widget and slide through them until you get to the flip clock version.
If you're talking about a clock that actually flips, try this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853832
I've never understood everyone's fascination with a clock that flips... it's not like your going to sit there and watch it, waiting for it to flip with each minute. But hey, whatever you like is what you like, and that's totally cool.
EDIT: You need to be on a deodexed rom for the flip ones to work. If you're completely stock/never flashed a rom, you'll need to flash the deodexed stock rooted rom. Do a backup in recovery before flashing and if you want to save your apps + data, back everything up with Titanium Backup. Then wipe cache, dalvik cache and data, then flash the rom. If you need more detailed instructions do a search, there are plenty of guides floating around.
If you don't want to flash anything, these will not work.
You can also choose another Sense rom - Myn's Warm 2.2 and MikFroyo are good places to start. Remember, if you don't like your new rom you can always restore from your nandroid backup and everything will be like it was... like nothing happened. If you need any help after searching, ask here or send me a pm. Good luck!

I'm hoping someone can help me with my issue. I was also trying to get the flip clock to work on my stock rooted evo 4g. I had backed up all my apps and data with MYbackup and proceeded to flash the flip clock widget ported from the Desire through recovery, it said it had installed. I then rebooted the phone, just to find that there was no clock on my homescreen at all. I went to my widgets to see if i could choose the animated flip clock that i had installed, all that was there was just the one digital clock to choose, nothing else. As of right now, i have no stock clock/weather widget. Could someone please help me get it back. Ps.....I'm very new to android and this flashing/rooting thing. Thanks in advanced!

As I mentioned previously, you need to be on a deodexed rom to flash those flip clocks - the stock rom that comes with the phone out of the box is odexed. Deodexed roms allow for easier theming. Since your rom was not deodexed, it probably just wrote over the working widget with an incompatible version.
My suggestion - go ahead and find a rom you like and flash it. Don't forget to do a nandroid backup first. Wipe cache, dalvik cache, and data. Once you've flashed it, restore your apps & enjoy. You can always go back to stock by restoring your backup, flashing the stock rooted rom (odexed or deodexed, your choice), or Sprint Lovers is pretty close to stock with a couple tweaks.
Oh and read the directions thoroughly when flashing anything. If you flash a radio update, when you reboot you'll see a potentially scary-looking screen. Wait until it throws you back to recovery - that screen is supposed to be there. Mine shows a green down arrow inside a circle pointing at a phone (or something like that) but yours may look different. Do not pull the battery, you'll brick the phone. I'm only telling you this because I've heard of it happening to a few people lately. It's also a good example of why you should read every word of the instructions. If you need anything else, just ask :]

Thanks for the response. I would just like to get back to my stock rom with all apps and data intact, as before i tried to get that flip clock to work. I have no clock right now, i need that. As i stated before, i'm new to this stuff. Can you give me detailed instructions, on what to do? I mean, what is this dalvik thing? I'm sorry for not being in the know. And if you remember, i only used MYbackup. Thanks for everything again!
I am having issues with Kingdom lockscreen. I have installed it and the ringpull comes up with the time but the widgets do not appear. I can go into personalise and choose which widgets to display but they still do not show up. On a couple of occasions they have appeared for less than a second before disappearing. I have flashed the lockscreen a number of times now and still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Stuart
no ideas anyone? I've read of a couple of people with the same issue but literally a couple, ad even then there were no solutions posted
Not had this problem, the only things I could suggest; re-flash the kingdom lockscreen and then wipe the dalvik cache. Or possibly mount system and flash the lockscreen.
Other than that, I'm at a loss.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
In SEOs thread, in the OP, he states that some solutions to some problems.
Try 'clear data' in HTC Sense (the one with the home screen as a logo) in the 'Remove App' settings.
NOTE: it will delete your Home Screen widgets.
But go read his 1st post, and he tells you which data to clear when you have issues with some of his MODs
Thanks for the help, tried all the above and still the same problem. Really puzzles me why it would be happening and its not a more common problem. I followed the instructions to a T when flashing ARHD and the mods as I'm sure most other people did so I really am stumped by this
So I've just flashed ARHD 5.1.8 and the all in one sense 3.0 pack and still having the same issue
The sense pack includes kingdom lockscreen I should have said
Re flashed 5.1.8, wiped cache and dalvik cache, rebooted into recovery, flashed sense 3.0 pack and still the same problem. Must be something wrong with my phone, dont know what though, very frustrating
Again the apps appeared for a second and then disappeared the first time I rebooted
I think I might just have to wipe and start again from scratch. eek
Yes that seems the best thing to do. A hardware fault is extremely unlikely.
Jeez I hope not! I meant something software related though, I just did a full backup after I installed the ROM so maybe it something from that. I think I'll wipe and start from a clean install and see if that helps. Do you know what the backup of apps is like from google? Reliable? Does it backup in-app data yet?
This post is purely to get up to 10 posts so I can post in the right forum. Apologies

SILLY QUESTION from my side BUT why are you trying to flash Kingdom lockscreen? Doesn't it have that installed already?
Try just re-flashing the ROM WITHOUT full wipe. If that doesn't work then try downloading the ROM again.. fresh download, clean wipe, data, cache and delvik and re-install ;o)
Hope this helps you mate!!
Hello XDA-Forum
As of today this is my first day and post here.
As a noob ( I watched the video on reg, i found it funny yet noobfriendly D: ) i would like to ask some questions that the all-mighty search button could not find me, or atleast i could not find
I whacked my head all day searching for a way to root my HTC Wildfire S a520e running on 2.3.3 stock marvel s-off phone
and after by mistake factory reseting it, twice....
I finally managed to root it with OneClickRoot or something.
Then i tried to to what i originaly wanted to root for, Overclock.
But after downloading the rom i got from a youtube video, it f**ked me up good.
Now my phone is overclocked, but is slower. and the menu's are all glitchy and white and wrong.
I would like to ask how to return to the stock rom of 2.3.3 that i so much desire.
Meanwhile while i await your answears of joy, i am downloading Cyanogen 7.2 Rom that i found on the interwebs and should so-fit my tiddy little wildfire s.
Toodles.
I installed Cyanogen... and .... well i don't like it (Q_Q)!
i want my old 2.3.3 back (cry)
It feels slower, i don't like the UI
EDIT:
Now that i look at it again.. it's not that bad qq
but where's the android market/google play ?
You need to flash Google apps package from clockwork mod recovery:http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip for market to work.
If you want to go back to stock, download a ruu installer for your region eg euro, Asia etc from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074445
Install from a windows pc
As un-adaptable to new stuff i am and as much i hate change.
I find this cyano-genic blue colour to be semi attractive.
and i decided i'll keep it.
I read that cyanogen has built in overclocking.
Where can i see the hardware? i try'd in about settings but it doesn't say there.
For overclocking go:
Settings
Cyanogenmod
Performance
Cpu
I find this slightly more complicated than the normal android sense, but herpyderpderp atleast i'll be the only one in my class with a custom rom 8D
All the others are iOS/IceCreamSandwich richbishes D:
Is there something Cyanogen can't do that the original android stock can do?

Nevermind, worked D: I'm a potato.
I know i ask a lot of questions but i'm stuck at "Touch the android" after i flashed this thing
i touch the android and nothing happens... this happens on boot
I find myself in a position where i cannot procceed, this "touch the android" is stopping me ._.
hawp...
You might need to reflash.
Clear your data and dalvik in cwm
Flash cm7 latest nightly
Flash gapps
On first start take your time DONT press the android right away.
Give all background apps and SD time to load, maybe 30-60 seconds then press it and continue setup.
I have had that issue in the past.
Hope it helps you.
CM7 is a great rom, so customisable enjoy and make it your own.

I factory reseted.. i hate having to do that.....
it got stuck at cyanogen 7 loading boot, will this happen again if i use the thing you gave me for android?
damN! factory reset didn't fix it, how do i reflash when i deleted the file from the SDCard? now i can't put it back on the SDcard
EDIT: I got the file on again, but this software is way too fragile...
http://pockethacks.com/htc-wildfire-s-custom-rom-android-2-3-3-gingerbread/
Is that older or new'r ?
And can i get THAT interface on my now installed rom?
EDIT:
Stuck at HTC, still wown't load after re-flash
Did you wipe data and dalvik?
Its important you do!
Use this cm7, latest nightly build http://cm7-wildfire-s.googlecode.com/files/update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-marvel-03_29_2012.zip
I'm thinking of getting this http://code.google.com/p/cm9-wildfi...rc0-unofficial_rom-alpha0-signed.zip&can=2&q=
So far so good, it has minor problems i don't like
but what can i do -sigh-
there's an option called "Data Enable"
Does that take like money or anything?
also how can i use Voice Speech in this rom?
i wanna be able to talk on skype and it turns out as text
just as a question, could there be a problem during the installation, becouse the clock on the start seems to not be visible, it said some kind of error and i removed it from the screen. also it has 90mb free now
feels like first time i installed it it had like 110
THe clock on the lockscreen? You probably changed a setting. Or a clock widget? You probably deleted it. Just hold on the home screen and re add it form there.

Yes that worked, it wasn't deleted i guess.
I pretty much set up my phone overnight. (now my body hurts from exhausture)
I'm still haveing problems setting things up like voice to text on skype and other stuff.
Overclocking crashes my phone a lot. I know that happens but it happens like every 20 mins or something.
Also can i UPDATE from 7 to 9 without having to start over.
just update?
UPDATE: Also, i loose some files from sdcard (games installed) when it crashes when overclocked sometimes.
What the... i restarted my phone and all the stuff on SDCard is deinstalled, gone D:
EDIT: It came back after 5 mins
EEK!
I was putting some stuff on my SDCard when suddenly i open proccess list and on SC card it says No applications, 1.4 used, 431free but nothing QQ Hawp
all my icons are now with the android pic on them D: helppp
I'm starting to hate this already D:
Also my google play went back to market

I know I am new here but I assure you that I searched everywhere for the answer before bothering everyone with the question. I have a Sprint S3 running Frankenstein's KillJoy ROM. And it has been running for a day now with no problems until I went to turn off the phone to put a case on it. When I turned the phone back on there was no longer a wallpaper on my home screen. When I long touched the home screen the menu came up but it no longer had the option to change the wallpaper. When I went into the settings and then display I was able to find it there and change it to whatever I wanted but as soon as I hit apply and went back out to my homescreen there was nothing except blackness. I know this ROM is supposed to save battery life but I never heard it was supposed to remove the wallpaper option upon shutdown. I tried everything from live wallpapers to just plain pictures. I am about to bail on this ROM because a black background is a boring background. I have done resets prior and the wallpaper was ok it was the shutdown that did it. If there is any more info I could help with I would be more than happy. Thanks again. Have a great day!
That sounds like a weird issue...I have been running that same ROM for several days across several reboots without an issue. I would try rebooting into recovery and wiping cache, delvik, and fixing permissions. Depending on how much work you did to setup the ROM, you could try dirty-flashing it (simply wiping cache/delvik, and flashing the ROM zip without wiping data) but BACKUP FIRST! =D
If all else fails, wiping everything and starting over is what I would do...I am lazy and don't like spending hours searching/implementing a solution when it takes only 30-45 min to wipe everything, reflash, and restore.
Hope this helps!
Using Rom manager I reinstalled the Rom and wiped the delvil (whatever that is) but I did not wipe the cache. I am unsure how to fix the permissions. I assume what I did already was dirty flashing. That did nothing except the same result. I agree but the problem is that it worked and then it didnt. The only thing I can think of is that I changed the setting so that it would change the homescreen orientation depending on how I was holding the phone. Maybe that messed up the wallpaper. I will try and wipe the cache and reinstall. Let me know how to fix the permissions and I will let you know how it works out and anyone else that has ideas would be great! Thanks again!
and I did change the homescreen orientation setting back to default to see if that fixed the issue before I even posted here.

Thanks I was able to reload the ROM and it is working alright. I figure it was messed up when I set the wallpaper to be a live wallpaper as well as able to auto rotate. That caused a conflict and poof no more wallpaper. Thanks so much for the help!
