Using ICS 0.6 beta ROM, apps disappearing - Desire General

Hi all, I'm posting here because I'm new (post) wise and I can't post in the dev forum. I'm having this issue where my messages, apps, and display settings are lost when my phone reboots. I'm not sure what I can do to resolve the issue.
any ideas?

Did you make a fresh install or un upgrade ?

Did you install any of the app2sd scripts? If so, which one and what exactly did you do? Sounds like something's gone wrong there

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] Error - Unfortunately X has stopped

Problem => Many apps (ie. Drive, The Weather Channel, ROM Manager, etc..) don't start and give error "Unfortunately, **app name** has stopper".
ROM => RD-MIUI_2.6.16 (IML74K)
Kernel => 2.6.39.4-franco.Kernel (packed with rom)
Other Misc Details => Apps work fine after clean restart but after about 1 week of regular use they start crashing. I updated the rom recently (without clean wipe) but no joy.
Personal Conclusions => After some research on this issue (very broad issue and hard to diagnose properly) I'm lead to believe it might be some memory issue?
Please advise on ways to troubleshoot, I'm fairly new to android and custom roms but any help is greatly appreciated.
Also if you need more info plz let me know.
Thanks in advance for your time and patience.
Was it a clean install?
did you recover apps from Titanium backup?
Backup and Re-flash Rom after a full wipe, then download these apps straight from play store and see if you still get F/Cs
timeline probably wasn't clear in OP.
Full wipe done last week with fresh install from play store,
Then i started having the issue yesterday,
Today i updated to new version of rom and CWM
I'm currently downloading the version of RD-MIUI that came out today and will performa a full wipe.
Fairly certain that will solve the issue temporarily but I was hoping for a more stable/definitive solution since it's annoying to restore form full wipe.
I will update once new version if flashed with full wipe.
Thank you!
as i suspected after clean wipe and reinstall all apps are working properly.
I will update this thread if the problem comes back after a week or so of use like it has in the past.
Thank you for your help :good:

I am afraid you've got a hardware bug similar that I have and one guy else.
I do not want to disappoint but it seems the problem will come back soon.
Please if you will catch an apps crashing again follow my thread and post your story to update the topic and keep it actual.
May be if we collect more people suffering of this problem, someone can find a solution.

[Q] Default action is not premanent

Any action, which i set to proceed by installed app, seems to be set "permanent" only until i restart phone or install update to app. Can anybody help? Using rooted stock XXALJ1/XXALIH.
This may not the most helpful solution but...
Afaik alot of people are wncountering alot of such stock problems with ALJ1. And as far as i know, all of their problems were solved when they upgraded to ALJ3.
It seems like ALJ3 fixes alot of bugs.
There may be a solution for this problem of yours, but there will be other known problems of ALJ1 too...
My idea: as you rooted, install titanium backup and move apps to SD Card. Upgrade via Odin. And the apps will still be there np?
Its can be true and upgrade seens to be good idea. Thanks, J.A.

Wi-Fi not working
Hello and thanks again for keeping our great ancient device alive I have, however, encountered one very unfortunate problem with the wi-fi, which connects to the wi-fi network but then there's no internet connection. I tried updating the radio to the newest version found here, I have tried installing Wifi Fixer and re-installing the ROM a couple times. On previous ROMs (stock CM 7.2 and Andromadus Mimicry (CM9.1)), the wi-fi worked just fine. Also the wi-fi router provides connection to other devices seamlessly. Do you have any idea where the problem might be?
EDIT: OK, to make sure, I flashed CM 7.2 again (both stable and latest nightly), only to find out that on this particular wi-fi network, internet connection doesn't work for my Desire Z so something's probably wrong with the router TP-Link TL-WR740N.
EDIT2: Connectify solved the problem so there's definitely something wrong with the router, even though it has the latest firmware. (And the strangest thing is that Connectify worked fine while sharing internet connection from the same router that didn't work with my Desire Z directly... WTF? )
Slow response and out of space (AlterNdromadus CM10.1)
Hi, I'm new to custom ROMs, and I'm certainly no developer, but I have been successfully running this one on my HTC Desire Z for about a month. It's been more or less fine but I have two issues:
1. My phone seems to be getting slower and slower to respond. Is that just because I'm an app addict and I have installed too much crap?
2. I'm getting the "out of space" error when I try to install or update apps, even though according to the DiskUsage app I'm using I have 110 MB free on internal storage. I have seen the fix of deleting the logs in /data/logs, but this directory does not exist on my phone! Where else should I look for old logs? What else can I try?

I use an appcache cleaner ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.cache ) and also you might think about moving apps to the sdcard.

Well, I've tried both, and I currently have 126.9mb free in internal storage and 128.7mb free on the SD card. But I still get an "insufficient space" error when trying to update apps.
What is the underlying source of this problem? And what can I do about it? It seems odd that I can't update a 50kb app when I have 126mb free.
PS: apologies if this got posted twice; I thought I responded yesterday but I don't see the other post.

try clearing the data of the play store and see if that helps.

sorry out of thoughts....maybe a ROM reload.
I get that insufficient space error quite a bit - here are some things to try:
Uninstall updates for the Google Play Store through "Settings" --> "Apps" --> "All." I've had better luck with earlier versions of the Play Store, though very recent builds seem to be improving WRT this behavior.
I usually try to keep 140-180 MB free, which will be enough for most programs to update. Problematic ones are Swype, Swiftkey, Dropbox, and OneNote, which can be uninstalled and reinstalled with the later version if necessary.
I move plenty of stuff to SD with "DS app2SD Lite" and uninstall things like Talkback with "System Apps Remover (Root)." I also run "lagfix (fstrim) free" ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix&hl=en ) every now and again, which might help further.
As far as slowness - you can try tips mentioned a few pages back in the ROM threads for setting up internal swap with Turbo Boost ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145133 ) and misc scripts like Supercharger v6 which is also included in the more comprehensive "PurePerformance" mod ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360670 ).
Some critical opinions on Supercharger: https://plus.google.com/+AndrewDodd/posts/3AaCammc2Jw
In any case, with a fast swap set up with Turbo Boost, you can reduce or disable ZRam entirely.

I also use Amazon services & appstore, which to my regret runs in the background always and won't hibernate. Appstore / Amazon store app / Amazon Music all churning away, sucking up my precious megs and mips and is the cause for some of my own hiccups.
I also occasionally boot to 4ext Recovery and run fsck over adb shell to try to fix filesystem errors for each block device that never seem to stop cropping up. I actually have to reformat cache as ext2, then ext4 again to clear some... but that's probably another issue.
Hope some of this helped.

*sigh* I thought you might say that...
At any rate I went ahead and cleared everything off the SD card (after backing up, of course), then I ran all of the formatting and clearing options in CWM a couple of times. I also messed around with the partition size options in CWM. I didn't take a note of what sizes I chose but I went with the middle of the range options.
After flashing everything again and restoring what I could, it all seems fine again. Perhaps I missed a step in cleaning up before switching from CM7 to this ROM and left too much old info hanging around, eating up space and confusing things? DiskUsage now reports 485mb free, even though I restored all of the apps except GOBackup. Maybe the backup files were being stored in the wrong place.
Hi,
Having one old D-Z on shelf and now got inspired to flash custom Rom in it and this AlterNdromadus 10.1 seems most interesting Rom on sight, there is only one problem; can't find any download link for Rom
Could someone post a link or direct me to right place?

Lock sdcard access through USB possible if phone is locked ?
Hi,
Firstly, thanks a lot for AlterNdromadus !
I just migrated from my old CM 7.0.3 to this latest AlterNdromadus and ... ok, I should have to update earlier
I also flashed the latest gapp-light, updated my radio to latest Europe one and fixed the GPS with the recommended tool (just in case due to radio update)
Everything is ok except one thing. I set a PIN on my phone but it is still possible to access sdcard through USB cable even if the telephone is locked.
For me, it's like a security hole even if the SD card is physically accessible.
After googling the problem :
- I tried to find a "charge only" option without success (settings ==> storage ==> menu ==> USB connection to computer (path "translated" from french))
- I tried to disable usb mass storage but at least one of the three options has to be selected in the menu : USB Mass storage, PTP or MTP.
Why it is possible to access the SD card even if the phone is locked ?
Is there a way to fix this ? or a workaround ?
Thanks
P.S. Yes, English is not my native language
There is already already a KitKat Rom for HTC Desire Z. Problem with Desire Z is, that the hardware performance comes to an end, what I read in that post, so that someone went back to your 4.2.2 version. This was my experience, too, with an optimized 2.3.5 ROM. Without freezing some system apps my configuration wouldn't work on that. I am happy to be able to run a Android 4 version on the Desire Z at all to be able to install apps working only on 4 onward.
Great Rom but touch screen problem
This rom is great, But has anyone experienced touch screen problem after installing it?
I have to frequently lock on and off when my screen seems to stop responding to my touch.
How to fix it please?
Yep -- I have exactly the same problem. But I have to say that this issue has appeared after a some month of using this ROM.

Firmware

Hello guys. One year ago i installed skydragon ROM and everything was ok. But now id like to reinstall my Rom to newer one. But i dont remember how i did it so could anyone help me? I actualy started to have some problems. My screen turns itself on randomly, pages refreshes or falls to main desktop randomly. If i use safe mode it is ok so its probably some of my applications. But i want to reinstall my phone so its like a new one(its ok with a custom rom ,i just need some recommended roms) so please if anyone could help me, i would be so happy.

Backup all of your data, whether it be twrp or titanium
download the rom of your choice, id suggest leedroid or android revolution for you as they are close to stock
copy to phone, wipe data and flash in twrp recovery (im assuming you have it as you have skydragon installed)
then restore your data through titanium.
You may have issues if your firmware is out of date, however I have not updated mine for a long period and it is still working fine. There are plenty of threads that can direct you through the process.
Thanks alot. And what types of custom roms exist? I mean how do are they different? And i read on other forum that i have to do something with kernel? But i totaly forgot what is that
And id like to ask, if i can somehow backup my apps settings and saves from games for example?

Some ROMs are GPE (Google Play Edition) or AOSP; both mean no Sense. Others are Sense based, but with various tweaks, customization options, etc. But you need to read the ROM threads to see the differences; and how they relate to your needs and preferences.

Unless you have the Sprint or Verizon M8, you don't need to do anything with the kernel. The kernel installs automatically when you flash a ROM.
What does no Sense mean?

Sense is HTC's "skinning" or customization of the Android OS. They add their own version of some apps, modified the launcher, icons, etc. as a means to differentiate their devices from the competition.
Not everyone likes that, so there is also a Google Play Edition of the M8, which is an Android version close to "pure" Android such as on Nexus devices. GPE ROMs are based on the official HTC released GPE version OS (although custom GPE ROMs may have tweaks and customizations of their own).
While AOSP ROMs such as Cyanogenmod and others are compiled from source code, and constitute "original work". But again, they don't have Sense customizations, and are close to "pure" Android.
Okay, thanks alot
So i flashed the newest skydragon ROM but after i installed it and used recovery(from twrp or what is the name) i recovered my data (apps etc) but my notification bar and home button wasnt there. I tried to flash it many times but it was the same.

Did you check the Skydragon thread to see if its a reported issue (and if so, there may be a fix posted)? That should always be the first thing to check when encountering issues after a ROM flash.
It sounds like you migrated user data using TWRP? I don't personally recommend it, as it often leads to issues, especially if the ROM is significantly different/updated than what you were using before.
Does the issue occur if you clean flash the ROM (default wipe in TWRP, then flash the ROM) and do not restore user data?
Ye the error isnt there if i dont recover my data. But i want to have apps etc there. So is there some way to backup them? Also sms, phone calls etc.

I always use the app Titanium Backup to migrate my app data. IMO its also well worth the few $ for the paid pro key, to enable the batch functions (you can backup/restore all your user apps with just a few taps). Titanium is a very useful and reliable tool for ROM flashers.
Restore the data with TWRP, then back up your user apps and app data with Titanium. Wipe in TWRP. Then reboot and restore the apps in Titanium, and all should be good.
You can also use Titanium to backup and restore your SMS (backup app data "Dialer Storage") and call log ("Contacts Storage"). But be careful about restore any system data, since that is usually when the bugs pop up.
Okey, thanks alot. I'll try it today.
Hello, i tried the titanium backup but i have many many apps there and it wanted me to confrim every one one by one when installing which is pretty annoying while i have many apps. Also i thought about other roms, but i cant find here on xda developers any "comparing stats" or something. And mostly i cant find where are some cons and pros of the roms. Only last update notes... im really dumb or idk, cant really find anything.
Also i want to ask if its possible to remove car mode somehow? Cause my phones somehow sometimes thinks that im in a fckin car and uses car mode which interrups my app or refreshes page or light my screen..
