[Q} Why is my phone suddenly not letting me add HTC widgets to the homescreen? O_o

Out of no where, I suddenly can't add HTC widgets. Any other widget I add to the home screen pops up fine, but, when I press on an HTC one, the phone just freezes up (not completely frozen, bc I can press back to get out of it).
Any help would be appreciated.
Sidenote: The widgets I'd put on the home screen before this problem still function fine.

reboot and try again? that usually fixes the little quirks for me if I know I didn't do anything to cause it

Defintiely did and it's still a no go. This is really strange.

Factory reset would be the next thing to do but you will lose all of your data

it could be your rom to

Yea I'm just running the stock 2.2 (rooted/Deodexed).

Ok guys, so I talked to a friend, and he gave me a pretty good idea of what happened.
When I switched to the rooted 2.2 rom form rooted 2.1, I restored my system data with titanium backup. I didn't knwo you're only supposed to use it for user apps,
Basically, that screwed things up in terms of what settings and things like that were even searching for.

Ah, yes, it seems TiB is too powerful for us. I made that mistake at first as well. Flipz has a nice writeup about this issue, too.

CM6 and Loading a Non CM6 Boot Animation

I love using the LCARS boot screen/audio. Whenever I flash it on cm6 it doesn't work. When I flash LCARS on other roms it goes through and works. Has anyone experienced this? I've searched other threads but they haven't addressed what I'm looking for, or I missed it. Thanks

I have the same issue with CM6.

Try this program. You'll need ADB to use it.

So I read through the whole post and was able to get the animation to work but no sound. So we could consider this partially closed I guess. As there is a solution for the animation but none for the sound.

I think I read somewhere that CM6 wasn't designed to use a boot sound.
Sent from my SUPERSONIC

Right, CM6 doesn't have sound in the boot animation, and custom scripts don't always work right. I asked Cyanogen about it, and he quite plainly said that he doesn't want his phone making sounds when he turns it on (and if you've ever gone through bootloops/diagnostics while at work or some place public, while still having the Sprint 4G boot animation+sound, you learn why).

[Q] Why can't Amon-Ra install anything past the root of sd card?

Just curious since CM has this function... Being a new Amon-Ra user this seems like something that would make the users life much easier. I previously has all my custom things in a folder on my sd called EvoDev and roms in one folder, zip mods in another, etc.... I now must leave all my stuff on root of sd or move back and forth with a file manager if I want to do anything.
I'm not mad or anything, just curious as to why Amon-Ra doesn't have this ability. Anyone know?
P.S. - Sorry if this is wrong section but I didn't view it as a general Q&A... It was more specific to a function of a program that is used daily in development so I thought this would be the appropriate place to ask.

i wish it had this funcion. this is the only reason why i do not use it.

because he hasn't implemented, 2.0 is on the horizon, there is potential its going to be implemented, however something so simple can easliy be worked around

2.0 can but amon-ra hasn't ported it over to the evo yet.

Are you saying there is a way to make it see past the root? I can't figure it out. Please elaborate..
If you are just saying it is easy to work around as in it is easy to just move my files to root of sd.... Well sure, it isn't hard to do..... but it does take more time.... And say you are doing something complicated requiring flashing a few things one after the other... Well... That becomes a bit of a PITA if you ask me... Especially after using CM for so long....
I like Amon-Ra better actually... Aside from the lack of seeing past root of SD...
As I said, I'm not mad, just wanted to know if maybe a change was in the works or if anyone knew a way to force seeing further.

no way around it, but if you are by a computer, enabling USB mode allows you to mount the SD card and manage it while in recovery.

Ahhh, see I didn't know that since I just started using. Is that what that first option line is for? I think it has 2 letters then a dash and two more letters?
Thanks for the info.

yup, whatever says usb, you hit it, connect up your phone and its just like hard drive mode when your phone is on, life saver especially if you jack up something or wipe everything but forgot to move a ROM to the root of your HD

Yep, I always use usb-ms mode when I do some flashes/updates since it's quick and easy. The file explorer would be a bonus, but amon ra is great the way it is. As long as I have my nandroid backup includes my 4G RSA keys then that's all that matters.

Does it back upo 4G-RSA keys automatically or do I have to do a separate backup for that?

i'm sure it will be implemented in the evo build soon. just be patient.

not to sound anal but unless it involves added 400 extra lines of code why not ad this basic feature from the get go?
I mean my sd was nicegly organized, now i have all they files jammed into the root of my sc card. Making trying to find one to flash out of gillions very hard

How to unroot to stock?

This phone had 2.2.1 when i bought it.
I used 1 click root to root my samsung epic 4g and now i want to unroot it and get it back to its stock settings..
Could anybody help me?"

Many can, but for best purposes, why? You can have a lovely rooted, stock version that I believe they just updated. Otherwise look at qbking's vidoes on Odin/Heimdall to stock. No real reason to, unless you plan to sell or repair it.

When was this update?
And lately i havent been receiving any texts and was worried that it may have something to do with being rooted? idk..
and i know nothing about rooting/unrooting so when the day comes and i have to use my warrenty, id like to know how to unroot it.

Check the dev section, but not receiving texts may be an issue way easier than going back to stock. Also, be sure to state anything you've played with that makes you think it could be attached to s/u status. Lots of people will be happy to walk you through a variety of things that won't make you lose all your data.

honestly i love the whole rooted idea. I rooted my phone to use a screenshot app..but i feel like i can do more with it...the thing is..idk how. I wish i can get themes on my phone but everything seems so complicated. I probably wont unroot now...but since we're both here, any ideas on how to add themes to my phone? and maybe even reset to the default theme.

Did you flash a Rom after you rooted? What instructions did you go by? Be aware, it's 12:33 here and your questions may get differred to everyone else until morning. If you're on certain main Roms, you might be able to easily flash to either a new Rom or theme with little effort. This is where it can get tricky though and retracing your steps out loud will help people walk you to what you need until you get more acclimated to searching and "shopping" for what you what in here. remember your thanks, donations and verbal support, people like to help here

i did nothing after rooting. All i did was use 1 click root and enjoy the apps. I also know nothing about ROM or any other terms :/

Nothing is complicated about putting ROMs or Themes on your phone Its developing them that is Complicated!

As long as you have a backup of your data on your card, your phone will live on as it did when you last clicked the wrong button. Bricking is everyone's biggest fear, but mostly because it's an inconvenience not a sentence.

The Root is right. The word "brick" is used too much. I can only remember a couple of people actually bricking a phone thus making it useless. 95% of the problems can be fixed with Odin. I didn't know a damn thing 6 months ago. I had to Google "rooting your phone." Now I test ROMs,themes, and kernels for developers. I could never go back to stock now. Rooting really frees the phone to make it your own. Flashing ROM's, themes, and kernels is easy and if you have any questions, there are people like me that are glad to help. Also, qbking makes great videos if you are a visual learner or want to see the process before you do it.

Boot Looping Problems

First of all, I know I am in the general section when I should be posting in the thread of the current rom I am running. But the forum will not let me, it says I have an insufficient post count to post in a development section which is where thread is located. (I think this is a pretty stupid rule, especially when a person like me who lurks these forums and uses it to find roms to use, and when that lurker needs to find help they cannot post in the appropriate section ; end rant).
Anyway, onto the boot loop problem. My current phone setup is : ParanoidAndroid 1.9.7 for the ROM and Trinity kerenl with 1344Ghz cpu clock and 304Ghz gpu clock.
What is happening is a boot loop at the Google screen. The first time this happened, my on screen navigation keys disappeared and when I tried to reboot my phone it boot looped. To fix it i had to do a clean install (I still have access to recovery when this happens). That was about 4 or 5 days ago, and I was fine up until now. This time the navigation keys didn't disappear, it was just a normal reboot that I did because when i plugged my phone in for the night it didn't display that it was charging, this is a normal thing for me and all it takes is a reboot and it will display charging status. Except this time when I went to reboot it, it boot looped at the Google screen again. I heard that a dirty flash of the rom may help, but I am not sure about this, and I don't want to screw my phone up anymore than it is, other than that I am pretty stuck as far what to do to fix the problem goes.
If more information is needed or if my explanation is unclear just post.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
