I installed myn's rom and love it! In doing so I wanted to play around since this is my first ROM I have installed. I installed a transparent titlebar, battery mod, and gingerbread menus from his list of optional items.
I then found f(red)'s gingerbread experience modifications that are listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866158
Now i am kinda stuck.. Now in the menus i have white buttons with white text in them.. so in short, i cant see anything
How can i correct this? Can i somehow load Myn's themeing back and then lay what i want on top of it to get what i want? I just dont want to have to reload the rom and wipe my phone.. it is just a pain in the butt to do so.
so i am not thinking... right now i am doing a clockwork backup and will use ROM manager to apply the same rom on top of itself. Then will apply the gingerbread experience items one by one afterwards.
Did you do any backups before you started appliying mods? Best to do a restore then boot into recovery and flash the mod. if you flash over too much it tends to get like too many layers paint on a wall. Not sure if this help at all but ill look into it a bit more for you

That would have been too smart
Fortunately i have gotten my themeing back by just reapplying the rom but i just lost root it seems. I cannot use setcpu, wifi tethering, nor titanium backup.. but i have no clue why.
It is like i lost root. How can i get this back?
Do you have the SuperUser icon? Try clearing its cache. Did you try to reinstall SetCPU, does it pop up the permissions box?
i downloaded and installed an app called root checker which verified that i somehow did not have root anymore... crazy.
I just did a full wipe (cache and all) and reloaded the ROM and all is well again. no clue why it did this or how... what can i say.. it is what it is I guess.

I have managed to finally root my evo 2.2 with unrevoked3 and i am a noob i was into apple, i knew a lot about jailbreaking etc. but android is much better.(my opinion) i am trying to install MattedBlues-V1_3-CM6.0.0-Sept12 and i really want to have the normal android lock "Flan" but i cant seem to find it. I have tried Lockbot but i didnt like it at all because i have the overclocked widget and it lags for lockbot. i want to see what the message says if i get on at the lockscreen or a missed call etc.. i know i will be getting a lot of criticism because i do admit i am a noob to android world. i am learning. so i give myself credit for that.
please any help/directions would be really helpful
thank you xda forums
your friend,

First. to use a theme you flash it jsut like a rom (except you dont need to preform a wipe for most themes). you jsut place it on your sd card go to recovery and flash.
for the vanilla lock bar. The easiest way i have found is to use root explorer or titanium back up or even adb to remove htcLockScreen.apk from your system folder. then reboot the phone. as a warning if you use alarms you will run into problems using the HTCWorldCLock.
hope that helps some

So I'm not entirely sure where to start with this one. I'm running myn's roms... was on RLS3 and went to update to RLS4 the other day. Did a nandroid backup via clockwork/ROM manager. The install of the new ROM took forever (over 30 minutes) and when it finished, for whatever reason clockwork didn't restart automatically like it usually does. When I did reboot the unit, it hung forever (I actually left it plugged in and booting while I took an hour nap)... so I finally rebooted it into recovery and restored my backup.
When the backup loaded I reset the phone, and the image was very broken. Actually to be fair, the image seemed fine... except for whatever system android uses to keep track of installed apps was corrupted. Most of my apps were missing, including core google ones. The marketplace, all of my file browsing apps (astro and root explorer) and even things like live wallpapers and maps were missing.
Next, I tried several things, including doing a fresh wipe and install of a working ROM (tried both myn 2 and 3) and then tried restoring my backup again... no matter what the backup took me to this point (and yes I understand why that is... I was just hoping that the restore wasn't actually restoring some file that the ROM would put back... as unlikely as that was).
So at this point I'm over losing all my stuff to reinstall ... but I really want to keep my text messages and call history. I can't get anything installed to back them up though... since the market is missing, as well as anything like astro, etc. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for extracting the SMS/MMS and call history stuff out of the backup I have... or getting them backed up somehow when I'm loaded into my botched recovery. I still have full internet, call and SMS access... so if there were some web-based backup I could even run that (although I don't think there is). I'm at a bit of a loss... I'd really like to get the data I want backed up before I start new. At the moment I'm still using the phone as I can still get core functionality.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know. Thanks!
install AMON recovery to do your NAND's, install SMS backup and that will save your texts, and titanium backup any apps you want saved with data. thats how i do it, oh and install app brain as well to keep track of your installed apps

It sucked when romanger and clock work broke for me. Never again.
Clock doesn't wipe correctly. Search it.
Thanks... appreciate the reply... although still hoping someone can point me in the right direction to get what I currently have backed up considering the half-broken state my phone is currently in... either getting it out of the backup file somehow or somehow getting stuff installed on my phone without a market or a file manager.
If you flash the rom overtop of itself you want lose anything, so try that

So oddly enough that didn't work in of itself... but it did start me in the right direction. Most of my apps were still missing, but for whatever reason reflashing the rom made Astro re-appear in my app drawer. From there I browsed to the system/app folder and was able to install MyBackup Pro over itself somehow. I ran that to backup all my user data and wiped clean. My texts and other data are restoring right now on the fresh image.
So clockwork is definitely the culprit? What's a good alternative? I got used to using that for so long, I'm not even sure what else is out there anymore.
Thanks for your help G'man!
Go to clockwork and down at the bottom click install alternate recovery, viola

Hey,
I tried to change my lcd density but i noticed some games were not working anymore, so i changed it back to the standard density of 240.
But now the games still won't work. All i see is a white screen.
I thougt reinstalling the ROM would fix this problem,
but what is the easiest way to install a new rom without having to install all my apps and settings again.?
I don't understand anything of this backup tutorials
atm i'm running a custom ROM, so i have root and s-off.

If you flash the rom without doing a wipe ect all your apps will still be there..
So just boot into recovery and flash the rom....this wont delete your apps.
No point doing a backup this time as things are messed up..
When you have a working rom..boot into recovery and selected back up...this will make a complete back up of your phone....every single thing...from your rom, kernel, apps, widgets, wallpaper...everything....This is a good thing to do if you get into problems as you have done.......then you can just boot into recovery and select restore and everything is back to the way it was.....hope that helps.
Thanks for the info!
So, i flashed a new ROM but the 2 games that didn't work before the flash are still not working
The games are: Abduction! 2 and Gem Miner: Dig Deeper
And i know the LCD Density messed things up, but now i can't revert it
Seems your only solution would be a full wipe followed by flashing a ROM.

Then you have no choice but to wipe/factory reset, wipe dalvik, battery stats all through clockwork and re flash the rom....
Before you do that though you could backup your apps using titanium babckup from the market...leave the broken ones of course

I take it that you have gone into application manager, cleared the apps data, uninstalled and then reinstalled the apps. If not then I would try this first.
Ok... so this is the case:
I have backupped all the apps+data and android settings with titanium backup
(I also made a full nandroid backup to be sure)
Then i did a full wipe and installed a new rom, gem miner was working fine again.
But after restoring the other apps and settings with titanium backup gem miner didn't work anymore.
So.. 1 of the 293 files I backupped and restored causes the games to fail.. But i have no idea what file i should restore to the original one.
I searched for 'lcd' and 'screen' in the list but didn't find anything.
Somebody knows what file i have to restore from the original rom?
After rooting my sprint evo 4g my market no longer works. I have tried the advice from gat (gadgets and tablets) but that did not work. What do I do???
Need more specifics. "Not working" is very general haha
Does this mean:
1) Won't load
2) Won't download apps
3) Isn't showing up at all
4) Is just force closing like it's its job
It will let me even search for an ap most of the time but will not let me download and will force close every time. This puts a damper on tethering because I cannot download the wireless tether after root ap. I'm still on clockwork mod and rooted via unrevoked
I'm actually downloading another ROM, MikFroYo 4.5, in hopes that flashing another ROM would give the market another chance to work properly. All the people I know that have rooted androids, including one with an evo, have fully working markets and can still download aps. I am not sure of another way to get the wireless tether after root or titanium backup. I have been trying to learn from forums and google but I seem to be coming to a dead end on this topic. It seems to be happening to some other people but nobody has given them a useful answer it seems. The best answer I found was from GAT but they were specifically doing the process on a tablet and after trying this process my market was still a lame duck. Also, while someone is checking on this thread (thanks so much by the way, this is the second time I tried to get some feedback on this forum and the first went by unanswered for about a half a week), what would be a good ROM that would not take away 4g capabilities, let me get an ap back like sprint t.v. but still allow most sprint aps (nascar, blockbuster, nova, etc.) to be deleted (although I think I can do this with titanium backup if I can ever get it downloaded), improve speed and battery life, and not be very glitchy/buggy?

Okay, go to the 2nd post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=900584
There's a .zip for the stock android market. Boot into recover (if you don't have rom manager, turn off phone, volume down + power, select recovery) and flash the zip. Should install the working stock market. I used it when I uninstalled updates using Titanium Back-up and it deleted my whole market.
thanks dude i'll check it out.

eww, I had high hopes but it still force closes when I try and download wireless tether. Any other suggestions? In the mean time I'm going to see if using another ROM might help the situation...maybe give it a fresh start or something.
Yeah same story after new ROM...not able to download anything yet anybody else had the same problem and came out on top/would love to hear your solution?
What rom were u running first? Try flashing a stock rooted rom? If that doesn't work try ruu but leave s-off so it's easy to re-root quckly.

clockwork standard untouched from unrevoked and now mikfroyo 4.5...still no luck. I'll try another ROM but I think I have to have a new market or something like that. Is ruu unrooting?
Are you wiping data and cache each time you flash a new ROM? If not, you probably need to.
Are you restoring apps with Titanium Backup after flashing the new ROM? If so, only restore user apps (i.e. don't restore system apps). I've seen some squirrelly things happened when restoring system apps.
Last thing, from your home screen, try going in to Settings...Applications...Manage Applications. Tap on the "All" tab at the top and scroll down to Market and select it. Tap on the "Clear Data" button under Cache.
think i got it under control
You need to reflash gapps if you flashed a new cm rom

Hey all, how the heck is everyone. All the crazy chit going on today it almost seems weird talking about normal stuff lol, but I am not going to let politicians, isis, or end of the world get me down lol.... So I rooted my phone since I own it now and am on no contract. But, I kinda need guidance. So here is what I have done. Rooted, I have super user installed, rom manager installed with flashed recovery clockworkmod 6.0.3.8, root checker installed, sdcard manager installed, busybox installed, titanium backup installed.
Ok, so i am unsure where to go and what to do from here. The clockwork did not install an app to click on so i am unsure how to use it or what it is doing. Titanium backup shows all the apps and not sure do i select them all somehow to do a backup or do i even need them. Rom manager said it would do rom backup but that it would be in a secret system folder and not accessible unless you used adb, not sure what that even is, lol.
I know I am at a point where I need to backup the current rom... not sure I need to backup all the crazy apps i have on here... i mean u can always reinstall them... I rooted to give me more control and hopefully get rid of some things dont need, ok, which are those and how do i get rid of them, and also put on a kewl nice rom that looks great and adds allot to the phone, which rom would that be... trying to find screen shots of the roms....
Anyway, I appreciate any help... I know i am newbie but hope i have at least started off ok...
thank you all ahead of time......
