[Q] Uncommon Sense won't recoqnice Google account.

So in my ever continuing quest to find a ROM that works for me I think I may have finally found it, Uncommon Sense 1.1 I think it's an older ROM but it's exactly what I'm looking for, the stability of Sense but the launcher and lock screen look like AOSP Android. I flashed it last night and I loved it but I had a huge problem, so huge I went back and loaded a nandroid of my previous ROM, Senseless rEVOlution. When I loaded the ROM for the first time I loaded the ROM it wouldn't let me enter my Google account information. The option to do so was greyed out and when I tried to select it nothing happened, though it still let me enter the information for my Comcast.net email account. Then when I tried to open the market and the Gmail apps I immediately was sent back to the home screen, I didn't even get a forced close error. I went into settings>accounts and sync and found no option to add a Google account. I checked all my running applications but there was no opstion to update or uninstall the market (version 2.2.7). As a last resort I went to the web based market to download Astro file manager to my hone but it said that it was already installed and wouldn't let me install it again. I tried downloading another file manager (I forget what it's called) but it never downloaded to my phone. Finally I jut got fed up and restored my nandroid of Senseless rEVOlution. Not only did everything work the way it should but that other file manager had downloaded to my Senseless rEVOlution nandroid backup somehow. I really don't get it. I really want to use this ROM but this problem needs to be solved first. Doed anyone have know what the problem might be? Shoulf I unsync my Google account from Senseless rEVOlution and flash Uncommon Sense again?
Oh and I should mention that I culdn't get any of the apps and widgets that were installed, like the HTC colck widget, to recognixe my location. This too was fixed upon loading the Senseless rEVOlution nandroid.

Sounds like that the GAPPS weren't (aren't?) installed in Uncommon Sense 1.1? Try redownloading it from XDA and don't do the install if it is listed in ROM Manager. Flash the zip. Do a full wipe - factory user data reset/dalvik cache a few times, then flash the zip and see what happens.

Thanks RMarkwald. I flashed the ROM without the gapps package and everything now works like it should. This really is an old ROM, it even comes with the really old version of the market brfore it was redesigned (it has since updated to the most recent version). My only concern is that it is so old that my phone wants to install a system update, and with ll the recent talk about carriers cracking down on root users and Verizon tracking who is rooted and who isn't by tracking who;s phone takes updates and who;s doesn't I'm reluctand to take the update yet I can't get my phone to stop notifying me about it. Other then that great ROM.

There was a fix to get rid of that, I don't remember what it was but most devs have incorporated it into roms now. I'll look around but do a search for like remove OTA update notification or something to see what you find.

You can use Skyraider 3.5 with the uncommon pack, it adds the launcher, app drawer and status bar of uncommon. It doesn't have musicmod, but it has pretty much everything else.

[Q] Gingerbread swap

Hi guys,
I am starting to get a lot of force closes on my phone. I have no clue if it is the phone, the apps or the ROM (SLIDE-Reloaded v1 which is the basics of the original just without the junk ).
I was thinking of getting rid of what I have now and installing CyanogenMOD7. Would this be recommended? I have Recovery: Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1
If so, can I get a brief explination of how to go about the swap. I know I have done this in the past but it has been so long I honestly can't remember.
Cheers!!

Its simple, just open rom manager and go to download roms, hit cyanogenmod and download cyanogenmod 7.0.3 w/ the google apps addon (optional), and after it downloads, rom manager should automatically pop up asking if you want to wipe and and backup rom, BACKUP ur rom dude just incase u dnt like CM7 and it saves everything, mssgs and all, just in case. Flash the Rom and ther u go. Other than experimentation with some other roms to support my fellow devs, I hav benn using CM since the 6.1.1 build! I highly recommend it!
-also, it wud be in your best interest to probably flash up to the latest recovery, which is 2.5.0.7 if I'm not mistaken)

Do I need to download the GAAPS? If so, I am unable to from the site provided on the ROM bible thread.
Backup - check =) First thing I did was to back up SMS' and current ROM
EDIT: It just clicked to me, so I do not need t download the ROM to my computer and then transfer to SD? All I do is run ROM manager and choose a ROM from the list?

UHHH 0_o i have no idea what you mean by rom bible to be honest, but when you download CM7 from rom manager, it should be a popup on the screen that says addons, then below it is gapps or google apps, whatever its called, you can choose whether to or whether not to download it, but i strongly recommend it because gapps has the Marketplace in it, CM7's actual rom does not come stock with the android market! so download it!
-and for the second question yes it automatically does that for you!!

WOW that is great! I can't wait!!! I just can't do it right now because Market is giving me a "download unsuccessful" message I am upgrading the ROM manager to the premium.
I followed the troubleshoot steps and no luck.
As far as the rom bible, this is the site i was refering to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924793

All good!
The only thing I cannot figure out is how to get to phone to sync only. I have the HTC Sync program to sync my outlook contacts and calendar and when I plug my phone it used to always sync automatically.
Now I cannot find the feature to choose the option of sync via usb... any ideas?
Solution: Download and install Myphone Explorer on both the phone and computer. once installed on the computer go to File > Settings > Sync and choose from the options on the right VOILA!!
What are the DSP Manager and spare parts for exactly?
Last question, I installed Launcher Pro but I have a feeling this rom comes already with it. is that so (I don't have the icon on the apps list)?
Ok so not exactly last question... how do I get swype?
And why is there an H underneath the little arrows up at the top?

To get Swype: just sign up for the Swype Beta on their website: http://swypeinc.com/
I believe the 'H' is for HSPA+. The Slide is not technically a HSPA+ phone, but it does get faster speeds from the "4G" HSPA+ towers. (You should see faster speeds when the H is on top vs when there's 3G at the top)

Cramill thanks for answering my questions! =)
I am still in doubt about the LauncherPro not appearing in my apps and when i go to the markewt the option to "open" is greyed. This just happened with another app I just downloaded "advanced clock widget"
On a semi seperate note, where can I download this app (image)? I can't seem to find it on app market (the app avail is what seems to be a fony). I had this same app on my sense rom and love it cuz it has the alarm, world clock, timer, weather, etc options.
THANKS for helping in advance =)

I believe that is the Sense clock applet and you'll only get that on a Sense ROM.

what about these apps being greyed out out and not appearing on the app list?
All to strange... I rarely had do many issues with my previous ROM and since I installed CM7 it seems that there are all sorts of little things here and there popping up... Is this normal?

I can only relate my own experiences, I know there are many using CM7 and love it, but for me I just couldn't accept the limitations and bugs it presented on my phone. I'm using a rooted version of the "official" Froyo 2.2.1 ROM (espresso_signed_040511_005057.zip) which still has HBOOT 0.52 and using DarkTremor's a2sd moving apps and cache to an ext3 partition. This combination gets me loads of free memory for apps, has all the nice Sense UI enhancements, is stable and pretty snappy (I am using a Class 10 sd card).

I have to agree, CM ROMS have their audience. I am not sure why it is but I like sense roms better.
I ended up reinstalling CM7 and that fixed the problem with no sound when receiving text. The problem now as many others (so I have read) is my Wi-fi not connecting.
I am going to leave CM7 for a few more days and see if the love comes around, if not, I am going back to a sense rom =/
Fuzi is the rom you have installed on your phone located in the list of Roms in Rom Manager or did you manually instal?

It isn't listed in Rom Manager, I downloaded it from a post here on XDA that I can't find now. I can send it to you if you PM me.

I had the wifi issue in the very beginning, turns out, it is a rare bug that happens often accidentally, the wifi is not a permenant issue, simply backup once more, and then reflash! Easy as pie! Also, CM does NOT use Launcher Pro. It uses ADW Launcher to give the phone the gingerbread look. Launcher pro incorporates both Sense and Gingerbread and is far more advanced! Other than that like I said for me CM is one of the greatest Roms I have ever laid eyes on. However it is in your best interest to use LauncherPro if you want the freedom of CM w/o havin to flash a 2.2 Rom. I recommend the Plus version of LP as it has the Sense widgets, etc. Good luck and jus to let you know I hav absolutely no probs w/ CM as of my latest installation (CM 7.0.3).

That is weird that after flashing the new one the problem goes away because I install the daily update and still doesn't work. I have yesterday update which was #106 and the Wifi still doesn't work

DSP is a music equalizer (when used right, makes an wonderful difference in the audio quality of your phone) and I really dont know what the point of spare parts is to be honest with you, just a toolbox for devs i guess

ok, will try, thank you for now.

Didn't get FC's when you said - try to backup the data then full wipe - data/cache/sd-ext/dalvik cache and re-flash.
Sounds like updated version of market/calendar/sense launcher is causing the trouble.
also try the above mentioned aligning before re-flashing.

did all mentioned above, but decided to go for cyanogen, for now.
thank you all for help.
dik moc.

When I first installed InsertCoin ROM, my People's process kept force closing. Not sure if this is related. And when starting for the first time, quite some number of processes force closed. So what I did was, I installed ROM manager and clicked fix permissions. And restarted the phone, this made everything stable no more force closes.
However!! The people's process still force closes if I access individual contacts information. Because of this, I avoided accessing people's contacts directly. I used workarounds such as using the HTC dialer to filter out names to obtain numbers. I had no problems creating new contacts so I got used to this issue.
My friend asked me to factory reset through settings. I was confused how this will work since I thought that the people's process force closes because of an issue in the ROM (maybe a bug). I was wrong, after factory reset to default, this issue was resolved.
Now Insert Coin Rom is perfect for me. The only thing that does not work correctly is my hibernate. I am having a discussion on that now to obtain more information.

Hmm interesting.will give IC another go. I didnt have any problems you are having. But thank you.

wipe all data user
i dont have problem with this rom

W'ats? I have been using 1.0.8 since the day it was released and I have no problems at all.
I just did full wipe and flashed it...t'at is all..

I'm also using IC 1.0.8 (CM7r2, since it seemed considerably faster) - So far I've had no issues at all, loving it.
Phil

Been using InsertCoin CM7 1.0.8, with cm7r2 hboot for a few days and everything seems fine
Not sure if it's gingerbread, new htc sense or InsertCoin, or all of them but loving the new rom! (only thing that bugs me is that I prefer the old htc weather animations...)

do you wipe all your phone?
i've no problem with ic

yep, i wiped my phone - data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache.
though i sort of take back what I said... having minor problems - no FC, or infinite loadings, but i see my SIM contacts when I hit phone/dialer, even though they have been hidden in the people app. I believe this is causing a second issue with messages being unable to find the right facebook/google avatar.
but other than that, seems to be working fine

[Q] ARHD 6.3 Skins, sluggish

Hello everyone, I am having a mild problem. When I open a skin I downloaded with a theme from my file manager, and click install, it says it installed. So I go to personalize, click skin, but they are never there. Just the 3 stock skins(burgundy etc.) with htc. Can anyone help me to get the skins to show?
Also on ARHD 6.3 and previous versions I get noticeable lag and slowness. I use quadrant as a comparative to what my phone will normally run. For instance on a fresh restart my phone hits about 2600 o/c at 1.69. After a couple hours of the restart I notice it gets slow and when loading webpages its very slow and when running intense games it gets slow, so I benchmark it and every time it gets slow I get around 1600. If I do another restart I'm back up to 2600 with extremely noticeable improvement. Any ideas why? Do I need to flash a different kernel or something? Please help and thanks!

what skin files r u trying to use? the HTC official skins shouldnt need to be installed via a file manager u just need login to the HTC Sense account and download it normally like in a stock DHD. any other skins that i know of you have to flash via CWM or EXT4 Recovery, unless u are using the no-sense ARHD of which u use ADW or LauncherPro or any other launcher.
I havent had a problem with the HTC official ones tho the flashed ones (themes by kalagas, he_stheone64, etc) have small bugs in it that causes it to be sluggish, for me it was the facebook that came with the flashed skin, updating facebook to the latest one fixed it.
apart from that, did u do a full wipe before hand with the Super Wipe script? u have to do a superwipe if you came from any other rom or ARHD6.2.0, also do not restore data or apps using titanium or mybackup, doing this creates slowdown bugs.
if u want to backup contacts or calendar just use the built in google account sync.
Another thing i can think of is make sure you untick "backup my data" or something like that under "privacy" in settings so the phone doesnt try to download sync data and apps from your previous rom. *Doing this wont affect the contacts or calendar sync. So when you boot the rom it will be clean and stock arhd.
hope it helps

I understand that for the HTC stock skins, I don't have a problem with those. I mean like the IceHD theme, and skin. When I go to install his skin after I get theme flashed it says it installed but I never see it as an option to change under personalize>skins like he had stated, as well as others.
As for ARHD, I had backup my settings enabled so I will see if this is the problem. But if I want to ever back up app data what should I use so I won't just get lag when I do?

You do realise the IceHD theme is for sense 3.5 he_stheone64 has not released one for Sense 3.0.
ARHD uses sense 3.0,
for ARHD you can use HoneyHD, BlueHD, etc; just make sure they're Sense 3.0 and as for them appearing in the menu they overwrite the basic HTC sense skin (the original skin on first boot).
If you want to use IceHD u need the Runnymede based roms with Sense3.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261721
why just use the ICS theme, why not flash ICS, its alright so far, im using the virtuous quattro RC1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428047
Also ignore quadrant scores, since you might have installed different apps or some apps maybe updating in the background after a reboot, it will consume different CPU power at that time, so as long as it feels smooth its working fine. for ARHD install the 90% super smooth rosie under custom modifications, it will limit the 3d effect of the homescreen to reduce lag.
The sluggishness in the middle of the day is also caused by the android memory management, gingerbread will automatically suspend "closed" apps so it can be recalled quickly if u decide to open them later. but after opening a few apps earlier, then later u decide to open a high memory app, the system will kill those apps down (including the rosie homescreen app) while launching the new app to make room - this is also the cause for lag. U can use the built in task manager to kill off an app, but this may cause instabilities in some cases.

Ahhhh, well Restorer ported it to sense 3.0, and preacher added hamdirs mods to it, its real nice, so i use that one. Im not going full ICS until its fully stable, like camera lol. As for the lag stuff your probably right its just real annoying sometimes when I am trying to do something like intense gaming. thanks for your help!

Ok Ill quote myself and if someone may assist me in finding the answer I do believe more people than me may have had the same issue...
1.- I just went to apps settings and erased all cache on this, extra data for sense home, reboot, stated the same.
2.- I dont know if i download HTC Sense Home by APK i might be able to install it once again with an additional APK installer since the android defult is not allowing me to reinstall it (I downloaded htc sense from a post on xda).
3.-Maybe I will need to try a modified zip rom to flash htc sense from recovery...need to find that file somewhere on xda
4.-Erease perhaps Dalvik/Cahce from recovery????
Help mates please!

Why don't you just dirty flash the viper rom over your messed system? If you don't wipe anything you will not lose any of your data.
