Hi all,
I've installed LeeDroids rom several times and tried wiping and doing a clean install using CWM and also Easy Full Wipe. Once the rom has booted I'm finding that I still have apps installed there from previous times. Only time I've managed to get rid of them was when I installed Revolution but when I reverted back to LeeDroid they were there again. Any ideas on how to totally wipe everything or is this just normal? Thanks in advance for any help

Not all apps I have in the Market are installed though, only some. And why does it only seem to put them back when LeeDroids rom is on and not revolution?

Did you flash the gapps that we used for CM6 (non-gingerbread) it wont work. You need to use the gapps package that is specifically for GB / CM7.
Download gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip from here:
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/

Have tried that one but no luck...

hi,
had the same issues with nightly build #6 and #7 of cm7 with gapps-gb-20110120- from h t t p://goo-inside.me/gapps/ as well as gapps-gb-20110115-signed.zip, all to no avail.
i finally gave up and returned back to cm 6.1.3
Same here too. No gapps

try mounting system and data before flashing, then unmount and fix permissions.. a wild guess, but might work
didn't help (
you are using 3.x recovery of course? just asking.. don't know then :/
Ask in the thread where you got your ROM from.

hey guys!
I want to install cyanogen mod 7 on my HTC Desire Z. However, i heard cyanogen mod 7 was based on android 2.3. I'm on 2.2. I'm rooted, but I was wondering if I can just install cyanogen mod 7 on 2.2 or do I have to update and if I have to update, will I have to unroot my device or can I just do it just the way my phone is now?
Thanks,

CM7 is a ROM, it'll completely overwright 2.2, which is also a ROM. This would be the same as updating a Windows XP system to Windows 8.
So, the short answer: just install.
If you're unsure how, grab ROM Manager from the Market, with that app you'll first install ClockworkMod Recovery and then install CM7.
And, as always, be sure to do a full backup incase something goes wrong.

thanks for your help, but i have another question. When i try to flash cyanogenmod, rom manager asks me to wipe cache and data. What does this do? Does it remove all my messages, whatsapp conversation and contacts? So in other words: what exactly will wiping cache and date delete/remove?
Thanks

When coming from a Froyo based ROM to a Gingerbread based ROM you need to do a full wipe which will, in effect, delete everything. Your apps will get redownloaded once you log on as will your contacts (if you have it set to sync) but to keep your messages (I'm assuming you mean SMS/MMS), download SMS Backup and Restore from the Market.
Remember, when you flash CM7, you also need to flash Gapps as Google Apps aren't included.

Oh, and once you're running CM7, you'll only need to wipe cache/dalvik when upgrading to the next CM7 release.

Please explain to me the need to do this, I have done about 50 (fifty) upgrades now, and (in between) never wiped cache or dalvik. And everything is working smoothly every time I flash, no problems whatsoever.
@timhesselmans; First read a few pages on this forum about installing a custom rom and the aftereffects it could produce. Always make a nandroid backup and back up your contacts and your messages.

Well, you're lucky then, as many people do have issues and wiping cache/dalvik fixes those issues; so, its a good habit to just go ahead and wipe those when flashing an update. It doesn't hurt anything, only takes a moment and remedies many of the issues people often run into.

Hello potential helpers in the CM community.
So long full days work or android updating story short, I was running 7.0.2.1 and updated to 7.0.3 with rom manager. I decided to not wipe all data, but to just clear the dalvik cache. After the update all the apps tried to reinstall again. I tried to do a titanium backup restore on top of that and everything froze up. I rebooted and tried again. Same thing happened. So i reverted to the nandroid 7.0.2.1 and did the entire thing over again but this time wiped the cache, and the same thing happened. So I wiped the data and cache, did a nandroid restore to the original 7.0.2.1 and then tried to do some different options. i changed up th order in which I did a restore, what cached I cleared, and anything I could think of. But Now I am stuck at either my nandroid 7.0.2.1 or 7.0.3. Both of these ROMs work fine with no issues EXCEPT whenever I try to install an app it fails. I have cleared the market app data and cache, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
Thanks
2 things.......
1. You should have posted this in the CM7 thread.
2. I would try reloading a fresh market .apk and see if that takes care of your issue. Usually just clearing cache and data will take care of those issues.

Also its good to make it a habit to flash ROMs in recovery after a cache and dalvik wipe instead of using RM

NP good luck, hopefully re-flashing market fixes your issues. You can find the .apk floating around XDA. Let me know if it work.
fixed
So I ended up just reverting back to the nandroid and then flashing 7.0.3 before I reflashed the market. However the market worked fine right after reflashed the new version of CM. I did not change anything from what I did in the past, but it is fixed. Thanks for your. help.

Anytime. Glad everything is back to normal.
I recently rooted and installed the arhd Rom and I love it. The Rom has just been updated and I am looking for some answers with regards to flashing this update.
I know the procedure is straight forward, however is there a way I can do it without losing my downloaded apps, data and the way I have configured my screens ?
I used an app to backup my stuff before but it did not store the data. Any help is appreciated.

If you are already running ARHD 6.1.x, you can flash the newest update on top of your current setup without any changes or losing data. No need to superwipe or anything. It's all based on the same base, the changes have been minor bug fixes or app updates here and there.
And just so we are clear, boot into cwm/EXT4 recovery and flash the updated ROM zip. Always a good idea to manually wipe cache and dalvik cache but it's all really straight forward.

Hi all,
I have a routed DHD and have used the advanced ace hack kit, everything went well and the root was successful.
Now when I'm trying new roms from XDA the problem is that for 1 week the rom work absolutely fine and after that suddenly it is in bootloop and then I have to change the rom.
I have tried the following roms:
1) Core Droid v9.2
2) Lee latest rom v5.1.1
3) virtuoso affinity latest build
4) bindroid
n a lot more but still having the same issue.
Right now I'm on ARHD 6.3.1
Requesting a sincere help from the dev community....!!

Look at what mods you do or what you install..must be some kind of trigger maybe..have u updated Rom only not radios kernels etc etc?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
apart from installing the roms i haven't touched on anything....as i'm new to all this.
Try cyanogen for a while..have you flashed any roms without sense?

Hmm, strange. What about ROM internal modifications or options?
As you tried LeeDrOiD 5.1.1 you seem to have that problem not always after 1 week (cause it's not that old *g*), so what about trying this:
of course make a backup of your data
full wipe your device (you can make sure to do it right by using a full wipe script
install a new rom and fully boot it
keep running it for a day without reinstalling your preferred apps
keep installing the apps step by step and watch the system's behaviour
When installing your new ROM and setting it up again, do you restore any data by using tools like Titanium Backup? If so, do you also restore system data or apps (+ data) only?
PS: maybe edit your topic's title to something better like "Problems with fresh installed custom ROM after a few days" or so.
