[Q] hi my names nick im new to xda developers

hi my names nick Im new to xda developers i was wondering what is the best rom for the incredible and wats the best way to flash it btw i have clockworkrecovery mod 3.005 is that a good recovery im running stock sence rom good rom but can be laggy and i have a 3500wah battery wat is the best rom i have rooted using unrevoked 3.21

The best way to find out is to try out diff roms and kernels, these processors all have a mind of its own so diff roms and kernels may be better for your phone versus the next guy/girl. Out of all the roms ive tried, incredibly re-engineered has been my fave. Great batt life. Stable and fast plus many theming options.

You can run a different kernel while using the stock rooted ROM. And I believe Re-Engineered is an Incredible/Evo hybrid; not sure though, so don't quote me on that lol. I actually just checked, it is. You can read about its features and such here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893233
EDIT: I'm not sure if that ROM is compatible with ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5 yet, so I would recommend downgrading to the previous official release of CWM, 2.5.1.2. You can do this through ROM Manager, scroll all the way to the bottom and it'll say "All ClockworkMod Recoveries," click on it and choose 2.5.1.2 and you should be golden.

When you downgrade to 2.5.1.2 should you do a nandroid backup first? I'm really looking forward to running Incredibly Re-engineered and I have read that you have to run CWM 2.5.1.2 which I understand is the OLDEST version, is that correct?

It isn't the oldest, but if the ROM developer hasn't updated their scripts for the new CWM version 3, then flashing 2.5.1.2 is a good idea. No, you shouldn't have to do a nandroid. Just flash the 2.5.1.2 recovery in ROM Manager.

When I do a titanium backup, should I only do App's? Or should I do data and app's? Some ROM's say do just APP's and not data, so which should I do for Incredibly Re-Engineered? I can't post on the Incredibly Re-Engineered page directly so this is my way of doing it I guess =/

Just do Apps. When restoring the Apps, just restore the App only. Sometimes when you try to restore the App + Data, it can cause issues. That happens more times than not, so your best bet is just the App. You can always try to restore both, but if you start seeing weird issues with it, uninstall the App and restore just the App, without Data.

I assume when I flash a new Rom I will have to redownload Titan backup and there will he a restore app option correct? This is my first time flashing a Rom so I don't wanna mess up haha. Is it easier to flash a Rom/full wipe method other than Rom manager? I almost feel more comfortable doing it manually or can I trust that Rom manager Wont mess anything up?

You might have to redownload Titanium backup, depends if the ROM chef baked it in or not. But either way, there is a restore apps option. I always choose "Restore missing apps with data." I heard restoring system apps with data could give you a nice headache with fc's and stuff, so I'd recommend just backing up user apps. And I heard a few months ago that ROM Manager wasn't getting the job done for flashing/wiping stuff correctly, so since then I've never really used it and got accustomed to manually doing the wipe/flash through CWM. I just like knowing that I wiped it and knowing it was done right by myself. I haven't heard much about the ROM Manager thing anymore, so they might've fixed it, but I'm not sure.
Sorry for the delayed response :/.

Quick maybe stupid question.

I have been reading where people are getting the nightly CM7 builds. I was wondering first off how do I go about setting this up. Secondly does this wipe your setting every time? It would be a pain to have to setup the phone every day. Also I have ripped out the ADW launcher as I find the Go Launcher to be superior is this something that would be overwritten? Thanks in advance for the knowledge, still new to the forum and handicapped as far as knowledge base when it comes to this.

Nightly builds can be downloaded via ROM manager, you need to have a premium licence though or you can get them from here.
I theory all of your setting would remain the same, but sometimes nightly builds can be unstable and broken, but for the majority of the time you would not experience any issues.
Have you installed go launcher to system/app? If so you would lose this every time you flash because flashing a rom rewrites the system partition. But if you have just installed it like a normal app it still be there after you flash.
Hope this helps

That helps immensely. I have attempted to purchase the full Rom Manager to no avail. It just sits in the verifying state. So I just returned it. If I dl it from the mirror I'll have to install from recovery not the rom manager because to install from a zip is also only in the premium license version.
As for the settings. I just installed the Go Launcher like any other app no special settings. So I should be good?

To be honest your better not using rom manager and just doing everything manually in recovery, rom manager is known to on occasion cause issues. And yes if you flash a new nightly go launcher would still be there. Just do a nandroid first to be safe

At the moment I am just running the CM 7 release 7.0.2. It is running great. I'm running it in conjuntion with Pershoots kernel and couldn't be happier. Just thought it'd be nice to check out new builds every so often just didn't want to spend 2 hours reconfiguring my phone again.
As for using recovery, I may actually do that. I have been wanting to get more into the process and what not. Having to root the phone through ADB got me interested more in the inter workings of these little devices that run our lives.

The reason I asked what verson you were on is because if you do start using the nightlys you can't then downgrade to a stable release with out doing full wipes. Due to nightys being 2.3.4 and stables being 2.3.3
CWM is fairly easy to use

Actually just read the last couple pages of the nightly thread. They have a stable release of 7.0.3. Dling right now to check it out. Thanks for the knowledge.

Nevermind got it all figured out. Everything seems to be working and this build seems pretty stable.

Help me please..

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.

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.

[Q] HELP - tried to update, now not rooted, all sorts of other problems

Hello,
I am having some serious issues with my Evo. For several weeks now my Gmail accounts have not been syncing at all, incredibly frustrating, to say the least. I was hoping that the Gingerbread update would take care of this, so I followed all the instructions I could find, downloaded the de-odexed zip update, booted into recovery, wiped davlik, then installed that zip, and it seems to have updated (I'm running 2.3.3 now, that's the updated version, right?). However, not only has that not solved my syncing issue, but now when I went into Titanium Backup, it said that it could not establish root access! Also, when I go into ROM Manager and try to "Manage and Restore Backups," nothing comes up, when I know there are 3 backups on there (I was trying to delete one of them to free up space on my SD card).
Maybe related are the terrible space issues I've been having. It's also for some time now been telling me that I'm running low on space, but I have moved virtually all of the big programs to the SD card and deleted things I do not use, so I really don't understand how it's having such space issues.
Anyway, I really need some help here. I guess the number one most important thing I need to figure out is why I am no longer rooted. Can I just reroot like I did in the first place? But I'm also very bothered by this syncing problem, and the space issue is not far behind.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Do you have the superuser app and what version is your hboot?

Oh and do you have a recovery on that still works like among RA or clockwordmod (amon RA is way better tho)
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

I do have SuperUser, but have used it very little - what can I do with it/what will it tell me?? Not sure what HBoot version I have - where do I find that?
I don't have Amon RA, I do have ClockWorkMod, although I'm a little confused - what is ROM Manager? I'm not sure if ClockWorkMod still works - how can I tell?
Sorry, I'm obviously fairly a novice at this. Thanks much for your quick reply, and thanks in advance for your help.

Superuser is the app that gives you root permission
and rom manager is an app for beginners that will allow people to download roms and making backups doesnt do nothing

OK im going to help you now but your going to have to flash a new rom and everything ok tell me when your ready

Ah, OK. Fantastic, thanks so much!!! I am ready anytime...

I use to have a epic 4g and i could use odin to re flash stock rom and i would root my phone again and i would flash a custom rom of my choice so it would perform better. i wanted to do the same thing with my evo 4g, so i would like to know how can i completely re-flash a stock rom so i can re-install this stupid custom rom that keeps ****ing with my phone...i keep going from rom to rom and wiping everything only works but so much, because i would have something from the last rom pop-up (keybord mod or theme or pulldown) things like that...please help

You could run one of the various RUU files floating around XDA and go back to stock. I recommend flashing VRSuperwipe(attached) in recovery than wiping data, cache and dalvik after. Than flash the rom of your choice. I never had a problem after i started using Super Wipe.

Its all personal preference i guess man. I like the way it runs(snappier), the looks, way more options, built in hotspot etc.

Try out decks aosp and then search the scripts below and run those. Aosp just has so many features that I can't live without. Like being able to change music with volume buttons and having the notification bar just perfect. So many options in the advanced options in settings
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.

Yea i tried decks(which is basically CM) but CM still has some features that it doesn't. I especially love the back button kill current app feature. Btw, how did u apply the supercharger mod, what are the steps? I applied it via script manager and i cant really tell a difference. I use SZ as well,,,,,,on CM7.

Run the script as option 2 or 3 and then don't reboot but go all the way back to androids files. Go into system/etc and then into init.d run as root and boot the supercharger file there
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
