I've installed Android 4.0 ICS Rom
"[BETA 0.2.1][04.01.12] ICS for Desire [with Camera][4.0.3]"
I went fine with the installation and for about a day the phone worked fine, but now, for some reason the phone will not boot past the animation
(flying coulours to form an 'x')
wipe data and cache and reinstall it
I had the same problem because I forgot to wipe data and cache before installing.
You should backup your data with Titanium, then wipe data and cache and reinstall it.
I'm also running BETA-0.2.1 on HTC desire and everthing works fine except :
- missed calls are not notified by the led (sms are)
- number of missed calls is added to the number of already browsed missed calls from the same day
- wifi connection to ad-hoc network does not work
- power off menu appears even though the screen is locked and this may
result in accidentally turns off of the device when carrying it in your pocket.
(in my opinion this is a major bug)
- light remains on for a long time (10 seconds) when screen is locked and
power button is accidentally pressed. When carried in the pocket
a lot of power is used because of that.
- contact name appears only after 2-3 sec from the start of ringing
- it restarted once when started Google Maps
- battery drains much faster than for Oxygen 2.3.1

You may want to use "SMS Backup & Restore", too, to backup SMS. Or just use "Backup Everything", it's said to be better than Titanium. (As for me, I'm using all of them ).

Thanks for the help! But how do i 'backup everything'? Thanks
You backup everything by using "Backup Everything".
That was an easy one ...

I wasn't able to backup the Calendar on gingerbread and then restore it on ICS. I've tried with a lot of applications plus google sync.
None worked, so I have done it manually.

Every time I reboot, the initial start of Sense it FCs.
It does restart and then run normally, but I'm wondering
what is causing the problem?
What might cause a force close on sense at boot time? My environment is
listed in my signature -- I'm also using outlook (virus checker) if it matters.
How can I address it. would reloading / reinstalling my rom (virtuous 3.2)
help ?
Can I save my PIM data and wipe and reload it? I need to preserve calendar
(phone) a phone contacts. I do NOT sync to google. Would My Backup Pro
do for that? Would that save my contact groups?
I was thinking maybe there is something in system data that was crashing sense?
so a reset / rebuild would help?
Thanks
I use my backup pro and it'll sync apps and ddata contacts calanders basically everything but it never worked with dictionary for me. Reloading the rom may help and you can reload it without wiping since its the same rom as before.

Have you tried fixing permissions in Rom Manager? That might solve your problem. If not I would say backup everything that you want, and then wipe everything and then reinstall the rom.
My guess is something is sitting in Sense data corrupting your sense UI.
Go into Settings > Applications > Running and locate HTC Sense (might be 2) and clear data.
This will cause you to have to redo all your home screens but you will not lose your data and will not have to redo e-mail etc.
I was thinking the same thing
although, would that account for it working the second time it tries to run?
that is, it FCs on initial start. but when it tries to run again, it appears
to work and the home screens come up.
the data is in /data or /data/data right? so if I make a nandroid
backup, I could return to where I am now?

Yes, do a nand backup however, the way you clear it is
Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Running > then click on HTC Sense (the larger one) and clear data.
No need to go into /data/ at all
Sorry for setting this question at such a high place. But i´m asking me since i have an DHD (or Android) how the automatic backup from Android (2.2 and on) works. If i enable Save my settings (under Settings -> Privacy) so it will be stored somewhere in the google universe. Without the chance of get control of it, just in case to see what is stored, can i delete some of this things etc. And if i deactivate the option it says it deletes all copies on the google server, if a activate it then once again how long takes it to update all again ?
The reason why i now ask is:
I have formerly installed CM 7 and backuped all data, did a fresh install and activated the option not in the beginning (in case to overwrite some of my settings with too freshly data ) and forgot it after that for a while. Just tested today an Sense ROM and recognized there where no Wifi Settings and so on. Then i found out why, the HTC Sense ROM came with automatic activated "Backup Data" and overwrited all of my longer ago saved data. Now i switched back to my CM 7.02 with Nandroid and activated the option again (off and on, to delete it the first time). So, my question: How long take the backup ? When do Google backups my data - on a restart - after some hours ? Someone have an answer ?
Thanks anyway
***IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO FIX IT BY CLEARING CACHE/DALVIK CACHE AND FLASHING A NEWER VERSION OF THE THE SAME ROM***
Hi guys,
I recently bought a Desire and loaded LeeDroid on a week later. Everything's been fine, until today, when I shut-down my phone and went to turn it back on, and it froze at the Telstra (telco who I bought it from) splash screen.
Here's what I did:
- Power + Vol- + trackball, which resulted in it restarting and freezing at the same point (15 minutes wait)
- Pulled battery and booted into recovery
- NAND Backup using AmonRA
- Restored original (pre-LeeDroid) NAND backup, and rebooted, which resulted in phone freezing at the same point
- Shut down, removed SD Card, wiped using AmonRA, restored original (pre-LeeDroid) NAND backup, which enabled it to boot properly
- Restarted and flashed Leedroid Rom from ZIP, which worked fine.
- Restored today's NAND backup, which of course brought everything back to square one.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to access any of the contacts/SMS/etc? I was planning to back-up tonight as I'd put a whole heap of stuff in today, so of course this arvo was when it had to die. That and there's some stuff I'd really like to have that I'm not sure the relevant apps have stored on the SD.
And how can I ensure a clean restore? Run Telstra's RUU, then install LeeDroid as per instructions?
(EDIT) I notice that the NAND backups consist of a bunch of .img files. I imagine that data.img might have what I'm looking for in it. I've tried searching for a way to explore the contents, but I'm still trying to get unyaffs running...
Reflash or wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash.

So you're suggesting I do the following?
- Restore freezing NAND backup
- Wipe Cache + Dalvik Cache
- Reflash LeeDroid from zip
Are the contacts all google contacts? If so you can recover those that way.
When you signed in for the first time after flashing the rom, while linking your google account, did you check "backup this phone to google servers"? If so, that should restore things if you wipe all and reflash the rom.
I used this option for the first time, and my wallpaper, shortcuts, alarm settings and SMS all restored after 5 minutes or so.
Unfortunately not. I didn't make the same mistake this time though >_>
Even so, I'm still hoping I might be able to pull some of the stuff out of the NAND backup.
Do you know if it's possible to fake/bypass the md5? If I can swap the data.img from the busted backup to a working one (the one before I put all my contacts in etc) then I should be able to access something.
Unfortunately that brings up an error, and I imagine the checksum is what's doing it.
Bonjour,
I've got a problem with this rom.
I've installed it with this link (http://www.cooldevs.com/archives/120), and just after it, flash:
- Stock_Hboot.zip
- RcTweaks For Stock Hboot
- Weather Pack
Reboot...
There was few decreasements in comparaison of InsertCoin, but the more annoying is the new Market which bug.
He try to restore me all apps (I don't know if it's linked to my problem)
I fell asleep during restauration of all apps andat wake up, I saw that few apps didn't ben restored.
- So I tried to restore them but impossible : I had an download error which was impossible to resolve even with delete the cache of Market application, wipe dalvik cache (executing the script which migrate it to sd-ext on the way). I precise that is was not a problem of space of my ext4.
- A second message at startup which tells me ""your phone is using more current than the charger is able to deliver...". For the moment, I never had this message (maybe it's because it's a pure Sense 3 rom I don't know...)
- In the way, I'm asking if there is a way to prevent Market to restore all apps at startup...because it's very penible if I have many applications, and I prefer to choose myself what I'd like to restore (if it's linked lso to my market problem...)
Edit : Even when restoring my rom, I've problem now with my market. Maybe it's the conversion on the fly of my ext3 partition to ext4 (to test the new rom) with 4ExtRecovery which has problem. So I return to recovery, check partition alignement which tell me that my fat32 is not properly aligned. I wipe partition table to rebuild all and I give you some news.
Edit 2: It changes nothing...now my market of my first rom don't work anymore...
Thanks a lot
OK, partition your card properly first and flash your new rom. Then during setup when you link your account to your phone, click you don't want it backed up and restored, remove both ticks. Then you hold power button and turn airplane mode on. You finish setup, push Titanium backup on your phone and restore your apps. Now you turn airplane mode off and the Market won't be downloading anything anymore. If you don't have TB backup, you're screwed mate. You can't abort silly Google restore nor you can choose what to install, flush list or do anything with it. It completely whacks a concept of having a clean install and that is the reason I hate ports even more. I know this is at best a workaround and not a solution, but probably you won't get anything better.

Ok, Thanks I'll try that for the future if I want to re install a new Rom but why I've this problem even in restoring my old rom?
And the most strange is that the problem is there also with my old HTC Hero under Cyanogen :-(.
Thanks.
I started having this problem ever since I upgraded my phone to 4.1.2 T989UVMC6. Sometimes when the power button gets accidentally pressed for 10 seconds in my pocket, the phone vibrates 3 or 4 times, then gets to the Galaxy SII screen and gets stuck there. A couple of times it got to the glowing Samsung logo, but then it got stuck there. I tried everything to get it to boot (rebooting, wiping cache, dalvik, fixing permissions) but nothing worked. I searched everywhere for a solution but got nothing. Some people said it's caused by the Preload partition, but that got me nowhere. The only thing I could do at that point was to restore my latest backup. I would lose all my changes since the backup but at least it would boot and even reboot normally.
After many experiments, I realized the problem is with the Data partition... So my current solution when it gets stuck at boot:
1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Create a backup of just the Data partition (you can do a full backup if you want but this way is just faster).
3. Restore the backup you just created.
4. Run the Infamous Cache Wipe (probably not necessary, but doesn't hurt).
5. Reboot and enjoy!
The only problem I noticed so far, when doing the backup to external SD, I would lose all my messages (SMS and MMS). Doing the backup to internal SD, everything gets restored normally.
If anyone has more insight into this issue, or has a better and more permanent solution, please share.
If this helps you as much as it helps me, please hit Thanks
I never heard that before!!! Thanks! :s
