Switch/update ROM and restore

I am running Myn warm 2.2 rls 3. I will be going to rls 4 shortly. I have yet to establish a procedure for updating/switching ROMs that works. I have gone from one release of a rom to another and only wiped cache and dalvik. Sometimes this works and other times not. I have had best results wiping data, cache, and dalvik, but then I have to get my phone back up-to-date. I use Titanium Backup (paid) and it restores pretty well. Again best procedure that works consistently for me is to restore only user apps and data, but then I have to resetup homescreen settings, ringtones, speed dial, bluetooth pairings, wifi keys, etc. I have run into problems when restoring system data with TB. Any ideas for a procedure that works consistently?

To go from RLS3 to RLS4 you should only have to wipe dalvik and cache.
To go from one version of CyanogenMod to a newer one, you only need to flash the update.
To go from two completely different ROMs, you have to wipe data and cache. You can restore WiFi, Bluetooth, and Phone settings via TitaniumBackup, in addition to all your apps.
Doing a search on here for five seconds would have gotten you all of these answers.

I have not gone to a newer release of Myn yet. The recommendation is to do a full wipe. I will try cache and dalvik, but in the past with other roms this has caused problems.
Not interested in CM, but thanks for the info.
I have not yet been able to determine what to restore for bluetooth or phone settings that was why I was asking.
BTW, I did search (took me much more than 5 mins) and found nothing helpful to my situation.

When i went from rls3 to rls4 i only wiped the cache and dalvik and i got force closes. I then wiped everything and reflashed and i havent gotten any problems. So the best thing is to wipe all at least for me. I dont really know about the other stuff, i only back up apps

[Q] 3G/Data Not working on Oxygen RC7 (Gingerbread)

Hello,
I've recently installed Oxygen on my Desire. And it was working flawlessly untill a few days back, when my Data/3G stopped working all together.
I inserted my SIM card into an X10i and 3G was working on that phone. But on my Desire, even though all setting are turned on, nothing seems to be working ?
Any help ? As i have very limited knowledge or rooting and custom ROMs, there might be something that i might be doing wrong ?
Thanks

Did you do a full wipe, data/factory rest, cache and dalvik cache when flashing the rom?
Also have you tried resetting or manual reading the apn settings? And do you use any app to control data connection?

1. Yes I did all of those things specifically, while flashing a new ROM.
2. I have tried resetting the APN settings. The thing is that my phone wont even detect that my Carrier has 3G or even Edge for that matter. Whereas, in the same area when I inserted my SIM into an X10i (or any other phone, just for comparison) it worked flawlessly.
3. No I dont use any app. I did install a widget to switch on/off data from my home screen but since it didnt work i uninstalled it. If I were to guess since when Im having this problem, I'd say somewhere around this widget incident. Its possible it has some connection. But I already uninstalled it.
Thanks for your time.

If it was a third party widget it might have messed it up. Make a nandroid and do and full wipe without reflashing to see if you get a connection. Beforehand you can back up your apps with titanium backup so that you can restore them on the fresh install if that fixed the data problem.

It was a third party widget, actually. Since Im new to the process, could you expand on "Make a nandroid and do and full wipe without reflashing", or perhaps, direct me to a place where I can see how its done.
Ill download the titanium back up from the market and back-up the apps. Wouldn't it reload the settings and the apps when I restore the backup, and possible the bug too ? Assuming the widget messed up some sort of setting or somethin ?

First make the nandorid, to do this boot in to recovery and go to backup, from that point on it should be self explanatory. You can also use rom manager and the backup feature. Once the nandroid is done you wipe (still in recovery) data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache under advanced, then hit back and reboot.
I don't think titanium will restore the "bug" because you already removed the app that probably caused it, just make sure you only backup/restore the green apps and data and check the list you restore to be sure that the switch widget isn't included.

Thanks man, it worked. I guess I have to be cautious on a Custom ROM before installing any apps, keeping in mind the compatiblity.

I have the same problem. I get no 3g icons in oxygen rc7 or in cyanogen mod7 build 32.
I have istalled both roms with full wipe of cache and dalvik. Nothing helps.
It is only green when wifi is on. If i turn it off, the netstatus is becoming grey.

It is a HTC Desire

And 3G is working perfect with Leedroid 2.3d

Wifi Issue, try out : "In wifi settings, advanced, set regulatory domain to 14 channels. I suspect what happens is that it cures the problem for those of us with channel = auto on the accesspoint."
3G Issue : Configurate manually your access points depending on your provider, it worked for a friend.
Good Luck!

Just flashed CM7 Stable Rom Need help Read!

So i just flashed cm7 the stable version, first thing i do is turn on my wifi, but when it obtains the ip adress etc, it keeps rebooting and turning off rebooting, and just keeps doing that over and over again. any suggestions?? anyone?

Have you tried reflashing it on a clean install? You also flashed gapps with it?

yes, i even wiped alll that thing like dalvik and all that good stuff and flashed gapps right after. this started happening to me with rc3 rc4 and now stable cm7, works fine with cm2

Did you flash a kernel with it?

whats that?

Well that's a no then. And the kernel is basically the heart of the phone operation. Different kernels do different things, but we can worry about that later.
Now I'd like you to backup your apps, then re-flash the rom completely, along with gapps.

If it is turning on Wifi only that causes the issue, it may be something with what is remembered in your wifi access points.
Delete your access point. Turn on Wifi and re-attach.

should i wipe dalvik cache also?

cocoes4o8 said:

Yes; you need to wipe factory/data, cache, and dalvik cache. The flash the rom, wipe cache and dalvik, then flash gapps, then reboot.

just finished doing all that

Any improvement?

WIFI Sleep policy set to NEVER?

thanks!! it works!!! ok i have one more problem, this has been happening to me since i flashed cm7 any cm7, i use email alot but it doesnt give the right time date etc, each and every email date is 12/31/1969

Have you tried updatinng / reinstalling the app?

yes even downloaded a different email program.

the email thing
might be a problem from your email server what service do you use is it a public or a private service such as work email or a simple yahoo gmail hotmail? type pop 3 that could explain it more in depth

When you flashed, did you flash the gapps?
And facebook app has been giving people problems...I think the word was to go back to 1.52 [the previous version before latest update] and you should be good.
I don't have a facebook, so no help with that app, sorry.

yeah i flashed it right after the rom....but ok no worries no biggie jus tryin to see if it could b fixed...also when i run the car home app n select "navigate" it tells me "no activity found"...whats wrong

You should always do a factory like reset before flashing a rom.
When I went to CM7 I did this.
Ran a Nandroid backup of Stock rom
Ran the GPS Fix for CM7 before going to CM7
Cleared Dalvik cache
Cleared Cache
Cleared Data
Flashed CM7
Flashed GApps
ReBooted
If you used TB to backup everything on your old rom then ONLY install the Apps NOT the data. Also I have noticed that a lot of people are just running a Restore everything from TB that may have something to do with it. I only installed third party apps like barcode scanner, Game Fly, PicSay, Directv. Do not restore anything that was a system app from your other rom.
And so far everything has been great.

[Q] CM7 Nightly #134, can't recieve MMS.

Hello everyone. I'm running CM7 Nightly #134 with Aeroevan's .7 BFS Kernel. It appears I'm unable to recieve MMS messages. I'm using handcent, and I do have the option on to "automatically retrieve messages" under the MMS category. Is there any fix/patch that I could apply to my phone? I'd rather not reflash another ROM onto it as I like how it is right now. Thanks!

You could look into on of the cm7.2 kangs builds I'm pretty sure you can flash them over whatever cm rom you're running just wipe dalvik. You'll need to flash the kernel again and be sure to make a back up

Okay so dalvik-cache is the only thing I need to wipe, correct? Once I wipe the dalvik cache (assuming this is the only thing I need to do), I will flash one of the kangs. What exactly will I need to re-do? I've pretty much flashed/applied the following:
G-Apps
Aeroevan's 0.7 BFS Kernel
crypted's AGPS Patch
The kernel will need to be re-flashed for sure because it will revert to the stock CM kernel in the new kangs, and probably the AGPS patch as well. But dalvik-cache has nothing to do with applications right? I was reading online about it and it seems a bit confusing to me. Also, will I have to reconfigure all of my misc. settings again? IE: My overclock, preferences, launcher, etc?

Correct... You'll need to reflash kernel, agps patch and gapps. Unless you're flashing my kang in which case you won't need to flash gapps. I have them included in the ROM. I would always suggest a dalvik wipe as well as cache but a full wipe "might not" be needed.
Just do a back up before flashing in case you have any issues.

What's the difference between dalvik cache and normal cache? Also, is the MMS issue fixed in kangs/newer source builds? I'm hoping that flashing the newer stuff will not be in vain

Hey did you get your mms working on your phone? I'm having the same issue with cm7 and BFS Kernel on HTC aria. Can neither send nor receive.
Thanks!

When you install an application on Android, it performs some modifications and optimizations on that application's dex file (the file that contains all the dalvik bytecode for the application). It then caches the resulting odex (optimized dex) file in the /data/dalvik-cache folder, so that it doesn't have to perform the optimization process every time it loads an application. Think of dalvik cache as Windows prefetch.
As far as mms.... It's working fine on my CM7 kang and I would assume the others as well. Once thing you can try though that worked on Eris when people had mms issues for one reason or another is:
1. Install Verizon Messages from the market and use that to send and receive a couple mms messages.
2. Once you confirm mms is working again you can uninstall it and go as normal.
Another option that takes a little more work is:
1. Make a nandroid backup of current ROM.
2. Install a stock based ROM.
3. Send and receive a few mms messages to verify everything is in working
order.
4. Install APN backup/restore from the market.
5. Open APN backup/restore and backup your APN's.
6. Restore backup you previously made.
7. Install and open APN backup/restore.
8. Restore APN's with the ones you backed up from stock.

@christophlend
Nope, haven't gotten it working yet.
@CondemnedSoul
Just wondering, why would installing Verizon Messages, then uninstalling it fix the problem? Is there something that gets activated/left over during this process that may / may not allow me to send MMS messages?
Also, I would definitely flash to your kang if I knew that all of my current settings/apps wouldn't be wiped out. If I could retain all of my current apps, and some of the more important settings, then I'd probably go for it.

The only thing I can figure the Verizon app does is reset your apns automatically vs restoring them from a stock ROM. We never quite figured out why it worked but 99% of the time it was successful when a few people had mms issues with a build. As far as your apps and settings going to my build... I can't promise a flash over will work. If you're on cm7.1 is suggest a full wipe of everything going to 7.2. You can always back up user apps and data with titanium backup and restore those however system settings would need to be reset manually. Restoring system data with ti backup is not recommended.

Alright I'm gonna try installing the Verizon app. If that fails, I'll be doing a full wipe (I'm guessing wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache then flash is what you mean, yes) and use TiBu to reinstall the apps I had.
Thanks for all the help.

I've been meaning to ask this, what does the data/factory reset function do in CWM? And well, now that I know what wiping dalvik does, what does just wiping the "cache" do? What is stored in there?

Ok so I got MMS to send and recieve using Nightly #134. First I installed Verizon Messaging, then I read something on here about using GoSMS and configuring it manually....so now it works and its awesome. Just search for a CM 7.2 kang thread and GoSMS

Dude, you're a genius!! This fixed my wife's inc running CCM7 v15. I'm out of thanks, but I'll get ya tomorrow.
NOTE: When I uninstalled the VZW app, MMS stopped working again. So I reinstalled it and turned off all its notifications.

Paranoid Android System UI

I have installed the Paranoid Android ROM on my S III, but I am running into problems:
- System UI stops working on reboot / wallpaper resets
- When I open the recent app switcher it shows what was open previously for brief second
Is their anyway to fix these bugs?
Thank You very much for taking the time to read and respond to me.

Did you come from a full wipe? Wipe data, cache, dalvik, system.

i wiped data, cache, dalvik, was unaware I had to format the system. Going to reflash my phone following your guide, cant believe I never saw it before.

the best way to transition from one ROM to another is to perform a full wipe. when flashing an update to the same ROM, just the cache, dalvik and wipe data options are recommended. cheers

Thank you very much. I just had another question about using Titanium Backup, wanted to know if i could backup applications like email which are system apps as far as i know.
Cheers.
Edit: The recent app animation lagg still hasn't gone any thing that could be done?

Restoring system apps is generally not a good idea. You might try just the email data and see how things function. Maybe someone with more TiBu experience can chime in.
As far as rom and battery performance, give it all a day or so to settle in. also, remember PA is a ported ROM. its not always this way but i have had buggy experiences with ports.
