how many more of these threads are we going to have??!!!

IMHO we should clean up the forum and have one thread for "what rom do you like?"
Anyways.... I really like DarchLegend. Fast, responsive, and saves a bunny's life if you use it! It kills a bunny if you don't.

I do really like damagecontrol, but... it doesn't work. In logcat it always says "exit zygote because system server (100) has terminated" and bootloops.

Honestly, if you're getting that in logcat or ddms then you messed up the install somehow.

i was thinking the same thing. it all depends on you which is the best rom if you are here then it must mean youve rooted your phone so go and experiment but make sure you read the instructions given. Try them all is my opinion. Enjoy!

flash them all...then you decide which ones you'd like to use the most..

Android uses a system similar to Java. Where the code for apps is portable between different platforms. Like phones and computers with entirely different CPUs. It accomplishes that using a virtual machine(computer) called Dalvik. All of Android's apps you use come in a format called Dalvik-Bytecode the VM (virtual machine) can interpret and execute. In order to do this more efficiently, dalvik caches, or saves a copy of the bytecode somewhere for easy access and faster loading of the app for future use. Sometimes when switching roms, the cached version of an app is incompatible with the newly flashed version and causes errors forcing them to close. Wiping the cache can in certain cases correct force close issues.
Hope that helps.

yeah factory/data, I wipe all 3 before flashing a ROM, works everytime my problem is restoring the apps using a backup app (titanium, mybackup pro, etc.) but I think I have figured that out too with the UID mistmatch but don't have the sanity to do it again manually if it doesn't work
problem I was having after I restored the apps, and rebooted FC's out the ass and freezes, didn't matter what ROM, Darch, DC, Flipz, etc.

For 1.5, I've taken quite a liking to Pancake with the theme "Darkstar" installed.
For 2.1, I like DamageControl because it's quite fast and has 2.1 features.

"Internet Sharing" Option Fails to Work

Running flipz's Fresh ROM 2.0d and when I try to use the USB "Internet Sharing" option, I lose Mobile Network.

Use the Wireless Tether App. I'm not sure if the Fresh ROM you have has it loaded, but you can get it here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
The 1.6 App should work; you may need to start the tether then turn off/on the mobile network to reset it.

I second this. I searched for tether options to share with my wifi only iPad. This worked instantly and extremely fast. It feels like I am on broadband with my sprint hero.
So happy I found the wifi sharing app.
It doesn't work because you don't pay for it. That is completely normal and has been the same since the day we got the phone. There is an extra charge to be allowed to tether. While there are some random work arounds, nothing is solid and none can be done without other negative side effects.
As other stated, use wifi tether (and yes, fresh 2.0d comes with v1.6).
Ummmm... Actually its really easy to make that wired tether aka mns work, you can just flash a Rom that supports it... like DarchLegend v5.
WiFi tether makes my phone all hot and bothered!

Strange, but after flashing the ROM I didn't have Wifi Tether as an app under All Programs.
I did install the apk from their Google Code site, but I only get a "Start Tethering" dialog box. Nothing beyond that.

Did you download the 1.6 apk? It's the last link here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=HTC+Donut
Also, are you sure you have Fresh 2.0d? Flipz said it's included, also says so in his Thread.
@mccsomthin Mine gets hot too so I have been turning off the Tether to let it cool down a bit.

Yes, that is the version I downloaded. Yes, I'm definitely running Flipz ROM. Menu->Settings->About Phone->Software Information shows me:

I also want to point out, I don't have the Super Permissions app either. In fact, I've suspected my flash wasn't complete... but I don't know what gave me the clue.
Have you tried running wireless tether on the usb port to charge? When I tried it I couldn't maintain, some people claim they can though. Just curious if the new 2.1 ROMs are performing better in that regard.

To use MNS on DC
Hey,
I found this solution works, it was mentioned in another thread here.
1. Completely wipe your phone in recovery. (Factory/Data, Dalvik, and SD Ext)
2. Install DamageControlv1.1beta5 and reboot after the install, verify in Settings>Software that your PRI is 2.11_002.
3. Reboot to recovery, wipe everything again (although you don't have to wipe SD-Ext, but you should always wipe Data/Factory and Dalvik) and install whatever ROM you want that doesn't usually allow MNS, such as the newest version of DamageControl.
4. Once you're up and running with the ROM of your choice, check to make sure your PRI is still 2.11_002.
5. Plug phone into USB and select Internet Sharing.
I have found that sometimes you have to plug it in a couple of times for the PC to authenticate, but I think that might be a PC issue of mine and not a phone issue.
I can verify that this method does enable MNS wired tether on DC v2.5 and DC v2.6. However, I am not sure if/what other side effects might come from having the 2.11_002 PRI. Market works for me still, Sprint Apps still work too, but there may be other things that don't like this PRI. I haven't tried a PRL update on this PRI, so I can't say for sure if that will work. But if the most important thing to you is MNS on a DamageControl ROM, then this is the way to go.
*Don't flash a ROM that automatically fixes your PRI though, or else all of the trouble you're going to will be undone!

That is probably where the problem is. I'd suggest a complete wipe then re-install the ROM since it appears you were missing some parts of the ROM. You need super user permission to use this app.
The reason you aren't seeing wifi tether on fresh rom is because it's stored on /data/ which means if you did a data wipe at any point after installing it, it gets wiped. It's put there for upgrade purposes but maybe I'll put it in /system/ instead to prevent issues like this.

Yea, that's exactly what I meant about using the wrong PRI. It will also prevent you from automatically getting PRL updates. But wired tether will work.

Thanks for the clarification on that PRL update, Flipz! Hadn't tried it yet. Wasn't sure if it was really that big a deal to update from 60662 to 60663.
By the way, do you think that 2.11_002 could interfere with anything else? Seems odd that it allows me to wired tether, use data, and even use Sprint Apps, but that it interferes with PRL updates. Haha, sorry too, maybe I should do some more reading about this PRI stuff before asking questions about it!

Push the apks in his zip under the data/app folder to /data/app on your phone. But even if you did wipe, you should still have SU and autokiller, I believe he put those in /system/app...

You can flash a rom on top of itself without restoring the phone or losing any data. If you have any custom themes then you'll lose that. So if that's the case then use regaw's instructions. But otherwise, no need to restore.
Worked for me, Thanks!

[Workaround] Froyo- Workarounds for Common Problems- READ HERE FIRST!!

So, as Froyo is slowly becoming the standard around here, I thought I would post a few workarounds for some of the problems that people are having with Froyo and the wide selections of Froyo ROMS to choose from. I put this list together, as these problems I see coming up in many of the Froyo ROM threads.
So, I ll start with a few of the most common ones, and will add to this list later.
Issue -My apps are appearing twice in the ADW apps launcher after moving them to the SD card! (Froyo apps2sd)
Workaround-It seems almost everytime I reboot the phone that Im getting the apps appearing twice. If you uninstall ADW, and then reinstall it, then it stops. So what I ve done for the time being is to install ADW new, get all the widgets and apps you want on the home screen, and then go into the restore and backup settings in ADW launcher. Make a backup of your ADW settings and of your homescreens and save those to your sd card (it does this automatically). Then, the next time you need to reboot your phone and you see double apps coming up, just go into ADW settings and "Restore" your settings for the launcher and homescreens. Then the double apps go away, your settings are retained, and your apps and widgets are back on your homescreen.
If your using the same apps and widgets all the time, its probably a good idea to do a Nandroid after you ve done this, and to save the 2 ADW save files stored on your sd card just in case you ever want to quickly restore your settings again.
Issue- Froyo apps2sd is rubbish! I only have 40mb left on internal storage! I want the old apps2sd back!!
Workaround- First off, I have to admit that at first I didn’t like the new Froyo apps2sd. But actually now, I like it more, due to the fact that you don’t need an EXT or swap (meaning MORE SPEED), AND coupled with the fact theres a very easy way to get FOUR TIMES MORE STORAGE than the 40mb (estimate for 115 apps) that you have left. The solution? Easy..all you have to do is go into your ROMS settings, and “move dalvik to cache”. To put it simply, I have 117 apps installed on my phone. After I moved them all to the sd card, I had 40mb left. I then went into the spare parts on Emonthers ROM, and enabled “dalvik on cache”. I then rebooted, and VOILA…137mb free internal space.
I cant confirm that all ROMS have this option, but if your ROM does have it, it’s the way to go. From what I ve read (please correct me if im wrong), this space is allocated mostly for OTA updates. As most of us here have root, why not use that space to free up some internal memory! After doing this, my phone is running VERY fast and smooth.
Issue- My phone keeps rebooting at the load screen! HELP!!
Workaround -This commonly occurs if you didn’t wipe properly when coming from another ROM. If this is happening to you, you ll need to:
Pull your battery to get the loops to stop
Reboot into recovery
Do a full wipe, then if you have an ext partition wipe that. Also wipe cache and dalvik settings. This is very important. Then flash your ROM. Your Bootloops should then stop. And remember, if your partioning your card, remember to REPAIR EXT PARTITIONS. This is VERY important and will save you lots of grief.
Issue- When I record video my phone reboots! HELP!
Workaround- This means you haven’t installed the Froyo radio. You ll need to be sure you have either flashed the zip version of the Froyo radio or installed the image (Cyan says installing the image is safer. Im sure hes probably right, but I can confirm I have flashed the zip version of the radio and it works fine).
Issue-I don’t know which apps to install to the sd card and which I should leave on the phone! AAARRGGHH!
Workaround- From what I have read, what you ll want to leave on the phone are:
Widgets, apps that have widgets that you use, keyboards, and system apps. I also keep my sms app on the phone, although Im sure it will work fine on the SD card.
Issue- I just flashed a new ROM, and now the app launcher is all slow! Whats up with that??
Workaround- This is most likely because your apps are being automatically redownloaded and installed. This is a feature of Android that was added to Eclaire that allows Google (with your permission) to backup your settings (apps, wifi key, ect). Give the phone a minute and you ll see in your app launcher that your apps are being added automatically! When its done, you ll get a notification that says “ “X” number of apps reinstalled. Saves you time and work, and now your launcher will stop lagging.
Issue- There are so many Froyo ROMS! Which one is the best one!??!
Workaround- This is like asking if basketball is cooler than football. In short: it’s a matter of opinion. I can however share my findings so far.
Cyan6- We all know the quality of Cyan and TeamDouches work. When there ROMS go stable, they..well…they JUST WORK GREAT. Cyans ROMS are always very detailed and COMPLETE (trackball lights, wallpapers, advanced options) Right now, for me the ROM is still very buggy, so I would give it the number 3 spot.
RoDrIgUeZsTyLe- If you like overclocking and speed, this ROM is a winner! His ROMS have a lot of kernel options and overclocking enhancements, and are fairly stable. Very recommended.
Enomther- At this very moment, this ROM takes the cake and is easily my number 1 pick. Stable, fast, TONS of enhanced features and extra settings, and I can honestly say I haven’t had one FC yet. I can understand why hes one of the top dogs here. His newest ROM has been an AWESOME Froyo experience for me, and I ll be sticking with him until Cyan goes stable.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER FROYO ROMS. THESE ARE JUST THE ONES THAT I HAD THE BEST EXPERIENCES WITH. YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE MAY VARY!! THE DEVS HERE ALL DO GREAT WORK, AND THIS IS BY NO MEANS SAYING THAT ONE IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER!
Anyway, that’s all I have for now. I hope this helps out, and I ll be adding to this thread as more common problems come to me. I hope it helps someone out, and I really hope it saves our awesome devs some time from answering questions. After all, it takes time creating all the awesomeness that they bring!

Quite possibly yes. Try deleting that folder, rebooting, and then try to install. Make sure the folder doesnt reappear after reboot. If it does, try just deleting it and then downloading and installing an app.

Are u using the old apps2sd or the new? I read in another thread that deleting this folder was allowing some to download apps after deleting it. I personally haven't had his problem, but ill search around to see if I can find a workaround.
Download this file here and make sure it doesn't have .txt as file ext, but .xml instead. Rename if necessary.

Then follow this instruction.

If it doesn't work, you most likely don't have the shared_prefs folder. So just create one.

apps2sd for froyo as in the built in implementation of apps2sd native to it. its not apps2ext

LOL. Yes, I know what the new Froyo apps to sd is I asked because in many of the Froyo ROMS you have the possibility to choose between the new implemented from Google apps2sd or the old style apps2sd that we seen in builds prior to Froyo.
Have you given rjhay22's suggestion a try? Please let me know if it fixes so that I can get it added to the original post.

Never seen any of these problems... Apps2SD is okay, just more apps need to support it.. I have 4-5 5M+ apps which don't, and it'd help a lot if they did. I'm sitting around 30M free after clearing browser cache with a ton of apps installed on my stock OTA.

well if you have the mod install location app you can force the option to allow apps to be moved to SD

haha sorry i was using froyo apps to sd. I dont think it makes any difference whether that folder is there or not unless something is entirely screwed up with a rom flash.
ive read that the solution rjahays solution will work for enomthers for sure as well as modacos rom

UNIQUE market problem (not just paranoia)

Long story short, i accidentally formatted my sd yesterday, which sucked, but i had an sd backup from when i had my cliq that still had the majority of my apps...so i performed my titanium restore but ONLY third party apps (cliq is 1.5, vibrant is 2.1...duh).
Ever since that, whenever i try to download from the market i get stuck at "starting download"....no one else i know who uses android is having this problem today.....so i went ahead and started new seperate google account just to test, and everything on that account downloads fine. WHATS UP WITH THAT?? on my regular i tried deleting cache and data but it didnt work (and yes, gmail and gtalk are open)
anyone have any ideas for me?

menu settings, show all, go to market and clear cache/data
go to titanium backup, menu, more, market doctor.

I know it has probably already been said but I couldn't find it.....
I back up in xrecovery weekly, what else should I be doing, wipe battery stats? If so should the battery be charged? Fix permissions? Wipe cache partition? Dalvik cache? Anything else?
Any advice appreciated.

When you say backup, is that all you do? Do u just make a backup of current rom? If so you do not need to do anything else like wiping battery stats and dalvik cache.
These things only need doing if you are flashing new roms or occasionally needs doing when manually installing/updating some system apps like for example when I installed new market last week.

Thanks, yea I just back up the current rom.
I too installed the new market, but there is no apparent ill effect.
Should I just leave it alone?

In general, if it doesn't bother you, don't bother with it!

I know the feeling believe me!!!
But sometimes, it doesn't do any good (I learned the hard way).
For example, let's take wiping Dalvik Cache:
Dalvik Cache is the cache area for the program Dalvik.
Dalvik is a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) that is used as base for running your apps (the ones that have the .apk extension).
In order to make access times faster, Dalvik doing an optimization of the running applications, resulting in the Dalvik Cache.
Think of it as similar to the files prefetch in Windows.
So, every time you clean it, you are causing your phone to re-generate it from scratch, thus making it slower for a while and stressing its CPU.
There are of course cases when it needs to be cleaned, but in those cases it's usually pretty obvious (like when you replace a system app and you get FCs).
I hope I helped you a bit!

Please let us know what versions of each you installed. It is important to figure out what might be causing the issue. Also, if it is the first time you have done this, and you haven't spent much time personalizing, I would just flash again to see if it resolves the issue.

Go in to recovery wipe all but EMMC. Dont touch it. After a full proper wipe reflash. If you dont proper wipe you get klingons some times. Lol

Please download and install (flash zip from CWM) from here http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip.
You have the ICS(CM9) version of gapps for the CM7 version.
I've downloaded that version of gapps and still had the same issue.

I would do what Hal suggested "Go in to recovery wipe all but EMMC. Dont touch it. After a full proper wipe reflash. If you dont proper wipe you get klingons some times."
Then flash the gapps version recommended in above post. If you are still experiencing issues, then start from scratch, make sure to wipe all caches (don't touch EMMC) and use only the gapps mentioned here.
So what is EMMC? Is that the primary operating system?

EMMC is the main partition for the Nook <where the main system resides>. When I clear up my system I 'wipe' "cache partition" and Advance> Wipe Dalvik cache. You access these from the CWM recovery.

I wipe /system, /data, /cache, and dalvik-cache. Then flash the new ROM. I would also suggest giving CM7.2 a try instead of 7.1 along with the gapps mentioned previously. Wiping /system is actually an important step for getting everything settled correctly,
I completed the steps that you recommended and install the gapps that you suggested and did all the wipes. As soon as I restarted the nook this is what I got "Sorry! The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force close"
Have you tried Mirage cm 7.2 yet?

OP of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873
Scroll down to downloads. This is a very stable and usable ROM. Hope this helps.
Thanks for helping me out everyone with this I greatly appreciate it. Something else I am looking at now, is there a way to convert a java file (jar) into an android file (apk)? I ask this because I have found an app call andro lite what it does is it allows you to use your android as a keyboard, mouse, and others input devices with your computer but you have to download the server file which is a jar file. I'm think if it is possible to do this then I can have the jar file on my nook and use my droid phone as the input device.
Thanks in advance for the help and advice.
I use a VNC client app for that sort of thing. Valence acts as keyboard and mouse via VNC and lets me run demos while walking around the room.
VNC servers are available or even supplied for most OS's.

So I looked them up in the play store and from understanding of that it is more for android controlling windows. I'm looking for android to android type. I want to be able to use the keyboard from my droid 4 (whether physcial or virtual) to type in or operate on my nook.

Please PM Divine and have him move this thread to Q&A. This has NOTHING to do with development.

This does have relate to development, how do we develope the ability to connect one droid to another droid so as to have multiple user interfaces.

I don't think you understand the differences between asking a question and development. This place is for posting a ROM. Check Q&A and post there. PM a mod and have them move this to the correct section.
