Just curious if most devs plan on updating to the new recovery. I know cm7 and nils z rom are updated. I like the new recovery and have had zero issues with cm. Will try nils rom tomorrow to check his out as i love tryin stuff out. Thanks in advance for any replies.

I think they almost have to. I know themers are redoing their zip installs to work with the new recovery, it'll just take some time to do it.

I hope so. I'm waiting for a few to update so I can test a few roms. Don't really feel like downgrading clockwork, so my only other option is to wait.
I hope all the other roms get on board soon. i wanted to try warm 2.2 but i could never get it to work on cwm 2.5 or 3.0, anyone got any tips?
I was having probs with every rom I attempted so had to downgrade. UI looks good. Devs should be in the middle of making the transition

Did anyone flash the new recovery version in rom manager?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I did. Not sure about changes in the coding but the new UI is nice.

I heard it is mainly for 2.3 ROMs and such, is that true? I'm on Magnolia which is 2.2, would I run into any issues?
weird.. i flashed the new recovery through rom manager then booted into recovery but still had 2.5 on there..
Flashed it this afternoon, using CM nightly #32. Using ROM manager to backup etc., would give me errors when it got to recovery. Some error about the sd card mounting I think. It would work fine booting to recovery, just not using ROM manager. Think the nightly update tonight might address the issue. Had to flash back to an earlier recovery to use ROM manager.
Could not install a new rom with it.

I flashed slayers test kernel with it and it seemed to work fine. Have not tried to run a back up yet.

Is there a zip to install this new recovery instead of using rom manager? I always remove rom manager from CM7.

It requires some sort of new update script, we use the donut update script so koush is pushing us towards the future with this recovery, it works with any kernel because of it being koush's update script. Some roms might work, ask your favorite developer if it is compatable

Darnit! Flashed it and now I can't install any font packs anymore. I guess it has something to do with the update script. Going back to a previous version if I can figure out how.

I can't either
Running CM 7 nightly #25. Flashed the 3.0.5 and I couldn't boot into Recovery. Just reverted to 2.5.1.2, guess we'll have to wait until something gets patched up in CM.
Worked for me. I like the look.

oh man, i can no longer access recovery. dayum...
i guess i should post some details: updated from 2.7.1.? (2 or 3, whatever) to 3.0.0.5 via free version of rom manager. just happened to have my stock rom loaded at the time.
edit: thx everyone. downloading the zip and reinstalling got me back up and running. yay! thx! i am disappoined, though, that md5 operations still take 15-20 minutes. i was hoping that would be fixed in this release.
Alright so i am currently running incredibly re-engineered 2.3. Recently incredibly Re-engineered 2.3.1 was released. My question is how can i upgrade to the newest version? Do i have to do a full wipe, install the new rom, then restore? Or can i just flash the new rom over the existing? I tried searching for an answer to this but i couldn't find one, so if this is a repost, please don't hesitate to point me to a different thread.
Im not 100% sure about that rom in particular but usually roms can be flashed over the older version. You SHOULD be able to just flash it normally with no wipe.
You actually dont have to update, the only thing added is compatibility to cwm 3+. Everything else is the same as 2.3. So unless youre using that its not necessary. I wont til theres anothr significant update.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
sweet i'm going to give it a shot. Ya i read that in the change log, but i wasn't sure in general how you would upgrade a rom, when a new version is released. Thanks for the help though
unless it says flashover I always do a wipe. Saves alot of headache down the road. It doesnt take long to set everything back up.

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.

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
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
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.

Ok I have 2 Evo's being shipped out on Saturday. When they arrive I will be flashing them both to MetroPCS. I just need a little guideance on getting the correct rom.
I believe this is the rom im looking for here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795182
IF I understand correctly, this rom is 2.3 Gingerbread based and has Cyanogenmod 7. But there is also a sense version I believe, and I HATE HTC sense ui.
What exact steps do I need to take to ensure that I Flash My EVO with a Gingerbread CM7 based Rom that will work perfectly with MetroPCS?
Everyone makes it sound so easy but I must be missing something.....Please help.
Have you rooted? It is actually very easy to flash roms. I don't believe that cynogen has sence. Not a fan of sence either I prefer asop. But once your rooted simply put the zip of the rom on your sdcard. Go to recovery wipe data, dalvic-cache and cache then flash zip from sdcard reboot and enjoy
Edit: don't know about metro.

No I haven't rooted yet. But I am going to. I have to get the phones first. I know how to root it, and provision everything. I just got lost when it came to flashing the rom and How to make sure Im getting the rom I want.

Yes that thread seems to be roms for metro.. Cynogen is not sence. so you should be good to go. When flashing roms just make sure you wipe. Not the sdcard though. Feel free to pm if needed. And hit the thanks if I helped.

I see more people look at the General section more then the Q and A so im going to post this here. Im running CM7, 7.0.3. Ive been using it since the cm7 release candidates. This happened during the RC's too, i would be using it, and it would work beautifully for about 3 weeks, then near the end of the week i would boot the phone, and then a bunch of apps force close. Every app that i open force closes, i cant do anything on my phone without something force closing. I cant receive texts, check emails or anything. I open an app and it just closes. Im really really sick of it. I tried re flashing 7.0.3, didnt work. Im looking for either a fix for this, a for sure fix. Or looking for guidance to the original froyo stock rom with sense. It might just be a gingerbread problem, i was rooted on stock for over a month before trying roms. I really need my phone to be working. Please give me some help i would greatly appreciate it!!!!
Well then i make that 1%. Last time it happened when i had Cyanogens last update to CM7 i tried fix permissions, both in recovery and through rom manager. Didnt help. Only thing that helped was installing the update for the next version, worked for about 3 weeks, and now im getting the same force closes. I already tried it today before you posted, didnt help to fix permissions. I can have rom manager open for about 5 seconds then it FC's. Never had this problem on my stock rooted froyo.
Any help? i need phone working alright by tomorrow hopefully.
Can you flash a 2.2 rom.
Sent from my Optimized Inc using XDA Premium App
Idk, can i? I thought you had to do something else to downgrade from gingerbread to froyo.
Nope. Download another 2.2 rom and flash back. The only problem is the kernel but that's in the rom and would change when you flash. I flash between gbread and froyo all the time. If you go Froyo I recommend a z rom. If you want you can do newtoroots new optimized shift its really stable.

Wipe data factory reset, cache. Don't wipe SD card. Go to advanced then and wipe dalvik cache too. Just don't wipe SD card.

My personal opinion it is. Very stable. But all the roms are great just depends what your looking for. This seems to be most stable for my needs but I haven't tried the dream teams synergy nightlies yet either.

Well its running alright, had a couple of random force closes for reasons i dont know. Its fairly slow rom tbh.. I have about 70 MB of memory normally, with CM i had about 200. Ran fast. I tried to look at overclocking, but no app would allow me to. Would any kernel be okay for it? Like chads incredikernel betas? I really need some more performance in this thing, its just running so darn slow! Other then that i really do like the rom.
Is there any way to kinda increase the memory available? Besides closing background apps and removing widgets.
Well i installed beta 8, and it wont go passed my HTC Incredible white screen now, it goes to that then goes black.. Uhhhhh what do i do now? I can get into recovery tho. I cant transfer any files. ****
Someone tell me what to do now... Im screwed..
Was able to mount through recovery, transfering the rom to the phone and going to reflash. ugh!!
Another edit, gah i wish i could just get s-on and not worry about rooting now anymore lol. I just want good performance and a useful phone.
