Sms issues

For some reason my messages keep deleting themselves for no apparent reason. I do not use handcent or any other secondary messaging service. I've checked and double checked all of my settings and i do not have it set up to automatically delete anything at any time. I'm currently using Incredibly Re-engineered v2.3.1 and Lou's #8 kernel. The problem didn't ever occur when i was using the stock rooted rom.

So does this happen after a reboot, or just something you notice after putting your phone down then coming back to it...? Odd.
Try flashing another ROM, Lou makes a great EVO based ROM called Incredible Revolution. Give that a shot just to see if it is a ROM based issue.

Its a known issue... really annoying.

It just does it at random. I've even been looking through them and its happened. Is it just the rom you think?

I have had it happen to me on EVERY 2.2 rom I've used. Its yet to happen on 2.3.2 for me.

Any 2.3.2 sense roms that you'd suggest? I like my sense widgets.

None exist yet.

Dang it. Alright... any temporary patch that can fix the problem until some stable gingerbread roms come out?

Nope... Just hope it doesn't happen often. I use omfgb and its stable it just doesn't have sense. Cm7 is also great.

Bit of a noob question and no reason to open a new thread, but will i lose any data on my phone's harddrive when i flash a new kernel? And should i do a complete wipe as if i was flashing a rom? Thanks alot.

Anyone? I don't want to do it until i have my facts strait.

Nope. Only full wipe when switching roms. Although if youre switching kernels like u said, if youre going from one made by 1 dev and switching to another by a diff dev i would wipe the dalvik cache under advanced in recovery

Thanks alot, and another quick one, if i were to flash a rosie mod, would i do it just as i would flash a rom/kernel? And would I want to wipe the dalvik cache for that too?
EDIT: Man i have alot of stupid questions, but also how would i remove the old kernel... or do i not have to? lol.

Kernel Troubles

Not sure if its the fact i am running CM 7 or what but whenever i try a different kernel then there stock everything boots just fine but the touch screen doesn't work. I am lost and have no clue what to try.

What kernel are you trying to flash?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App

If running cm7, ya gotta flash a gingerbread AOSP kernel - try that.

I believe it was the AOSP kernel part that i was missing. I finally got a Invisiblek to install. Thanks for the help.

Invisiblek is the way to goon Gingerbread roms. I've flashed his newest with OMFGB 1.1.1, and it is awesome. No problems snappy, excellent battery too!

Sometimes people (including me) mix up AOSP and Sense, sadly they don't like to play with others if you install them with the wrong rom. Racists, pft.

I have only had the phone about a week now so I have had a lot to learn. So far everything seems good now and I am happy. Now if i could just get better battery life lol.

I was trying to install the following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972746 I am getting same issue installs fine boots. Then when I try to unlock screen I get nothing. I have HtC incredible running cm 7 rc 3
clockworkmod 3.0.0.8
radio 2.15.00.11.19
If you need anymore information let me know.
I am doing the following for install.
reboot to recovery
clear cache
clear dalvik cache
install zip from sd card
Thanks for all the help already

The link you provided is the EVO kernel. Have you tried the Inc kernel?
Evo: http://www.thebcblends.com/cayniarb/Kernels/evo/Tiamat_Evo-v3.3.3-sbc.zip
Inc: http://www.thebcblends.com/cayniarb/Kernels/inc/Tiamat_Inc-v3.3.3-sbc.zip
The zip files have different contents.
EDIT - I just realized the thread you linked has both the Inc and the Evo versions. I saw that it was in the Evo subforum and jumped to the wrong conclusion. In any regard, make sure you are flashing the right one.

I just flashed
Inc: http://www.thebcblends.com/cayniarb/Kernels/inc/Tiamat_Inc-v3.3.3-sbc.zip
and i am still having same problem. Any ideas ?
Edit: Messing around with rooted phones is something I have just started so it maybe something simple I am missing.

Not sure why my cell doesn't seem to like other kernels but
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905873
seems to be doing just fine so i will leave it alone.
Thanks for all the help.

Have you tried Incredikernel? Kernels are really a matter of personal preference, but Incredikernel seems to be one of the best. (And also my favorite.)

I gave it a shot a while back and had trouble. My issue is that he touch screen doesn't respond. Incredikernel is recommended in several places but i had zero luck with it supporting the screen. I have started to wonder if its support for slcd.
I will try it again and see what happens.

Capacitive buttons only work when keyboard is out

I've got an issue where all four capacitive buttons will not work in portrait mode but will work in landscape mode with the keyboard out. I've found some people had issues when they first got their phones but I've had mine for about 14 months and this just started happening. I'm on RandomRom right now with a fresh flash but I had this same Rom before I re-flashed and didn't have the issue. Also, the capacitive buttons used to work in CWM but they don't anymore. I'm going to try the new RandomRom later this weekend but I was curious if anyone else had this issue? I'm leaning towards a hardware problem even though it does work with the keyboard out but also the software has essentially remained unchanged so I'm lost.

Try a different kernel
sent from my touchwiz 4.5-ed epic

That was a kernel problem when the ei22 kernels first started being develpoed and has since been fixed. Flashing a newer kernel will take care of the problem

I flashed the 3.3 ThunderHawk ROM and re-flashed the Shadow Kernel (My device says 2.6.35.7-Shadow-EI22_v1.0.2+OC) but it persists. However it's reassuring that you both came up with the same solution; do you have a different kernel in mind that might work better? Thanks for your help.

I'm currently on iap's samurai.mtd.tw.warrior, you could try that if your on mtd. If not he has a bml version too

Go into cwm, wipe data 3x, cache 3x, and dalvik cache 3x. then try installing cleangb rom and shadowkernel. See what results u get.

I recommmend doing a clean install of whatever rom you want to use. An updated kernel should be included with the rom. Wiping 3 times is not neccessary as that was a bug with old cwm (3.x.x.x) 1 time is enough now. If the problem persits after a clean install download the newest samurai kernel. If that doesn't work try the newest shadow kernel (you can try shadow first if you would rather that kernel). Shadow is now on 1.0.4....

if that doen't work... try this...it may work.. and i got this advice from kennyglass, it helped me alot. if you can reflash from odin, try repartitioning...that may fix it. "trial and error". that's what i would do. "but thats just me".

Okay I tried the CleanGB, with the stock kernel and Shadow kernel, and neither of those worked either! Does anyone know of a decent ROM to Odin? I don't want to download the stock from the Samsung website and have to re-root. Or, does anyone know of a gesture application that has "back" and "home" that can be mapped?

Besides "odin", u really got me there. If. U repartition...as much as u don't want to..it will completely reset everything. I would have to say, its better than continuining the guesing game...u know? That's my advice though.

^^^^^^+1... if all else fails you probably have bad data converting over everywhere you go... odin the ec05.tar with the victory pit and make sure reboot and repartition is checked... then reroot and flash rom/kernel of your choosing and that should take care of your problem!

Yep that's the one... if you have odin the victory pit should've been included with odin... put the ec05.tar in the pda slot and the pit in the pit... reboot and repartition checked and flash... then either root from there with the one click or accept update and root ei22... if you need help with the rerooting in anyway you can pm me... I'm always up till bout 5 or 6 in the morning cuz imma bit of an insomniac so anytime is fine and I will walk you through it as best as I can

I re-flashed through Odin 3 times but after each time my problem persisted. I followed the instructions exactly yet the reformat didn't change anything. I'm going to rip it apart tonight and re-seat everything and if that doesn't work I guess I have to live with it.

Kernel

For some reason now, my phone won't take kernels anymore. I can install ROM's and everything else, but when i try and flash a different kernel my phone won't keep it. It will reboot fine, but when i go and look in the settings to see if the kernel is there it is not installed. I do the usual clear dalvik and the cache then flash the kernel. It says it installed it, but it doesn't. Has this ever happened to anyone else, and if so how do you fix it? I have also completely wiped the phone and that did not help either. I have a HTC EVO 4g. I hope someone can help me with this problem.

Hey Partyman this may sound silly but did you double check that you're not flashing the wrong kernel with the rom you're flashing?

Lewa OS. The kernel is mason gb v15. I never had a problem before until I used gruesome wolfs script that is supposed to clean everything to install a ROM.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

keep in mind not every kernel will work with every custom rom, sometimes it will say installed but it really didnt. other times your phone just will boot loop at the white evo screen

Well just to let you know....Problem solved on installing kernel's. I changed over to Smelkus Mod and it worked perfect. My Anon RA must have went bad or something.
Mod can you please close this thread now. Thanks.

Help with MIUI v4.

I am kind of new to this and it this has been frustrating me all day. I had CM7 on my HTC Evo 4G for a while and it started to run slow so I decided I needed something new (other then a new phone). So I tried MiUi (latest version) and I loved it. Ran smooth and was quick. I installed my titanium backup and it was not getting root permission. I tried installing busybox (wouldnt install) and i also installs CWM and Super User. Nothing helped. Someone had told me I needed a Kernel. So I went and tried a couple. I tried the Mason Kernel and the phone would just give me a blank screen. The only kernels that worked were Tiamat Kernels, the SBC ones lagged heavily straight off the bat, the other 2 did not lag at first but after a few minutes it started to lag heavily as well. Then afterwards MiUi would not respond. What am I doing wrong? Honestly I just want to restore my apps with titanium back up and have it get root rights. What do I do?

OK, that was stupid advice.
It's pretty simple actually, after you reflash the ROM, go to Supewruser app and set permissions. Hit menu and make sure permissions are on. Then you have to reboot

Yeah^ if that doesn't work, I've found that the super su app works. Also, Mason kernels are basically an updated tiamat kernel(s) but ATyoung kind of made it his own. But thats not the point. HipKat, good advice man. :good:
