Something weird when flashing new rom - Droid Eris Android Development

When I flash a new Tom I of course wipe data and cache nowhere my apps seem to stay intact. Its only started doing it recently. I'm no complaining exactly but I find it odd. Its happened with multiple Roms (vanilla sense and Froyo roms) any thoughts as to why?

It backed everything up the first time you used a Cyanogen rom, and will keep doing it every time you flash another rom with Cyanogen in it.

ah ok. Makes sense. Not a bad feature I just didn't realize it did that. Thanks for the help.

Restoring backups and 2.2 ROMS

I have run into a couple problems. When restoring a backup through clockwork all three times I have tried it, it gets stuck on the vibrant screen and soft bricks. I ten have to Odin back to jfd. What am I doing wrong?
Also I have tried three 2.2 Roms and loved them all. The only problem with them is that they all are incompatibale with the game I play most. Its a problem with the android id, and jk2 and jk6 not changing them, therefore everyone has the same I'd if that makes sense. The game is world war. Has anyone gotten this to work using the leaked jk6?

restoring doesn't change the kernel so you have to flash a 2.1 kernel after running your restore.
Thanks. Anyone get world war to work on one of the 2.2 ROMS?

hey, i play a bunch of S8 games and have had no luck restoring my games on 2.2 I must flash back to 2.1 to restore my progress. i tried swapping acount with my S8 ID while running 2.2 and it just started me over. flashed back to 2.1 and all my progress was gone! had to swap again with my S8 id to restore, almost gave me a heart attack!!

[SOLVED] Liberty 1.5 problems

I flashed liberty 1.5 on my gfs droid x. Now her camera doesn't work and the music player says it doesn't support the format for music she purchased from amazon mp3. Suggestions? Thoughts? I tried a full wipe to no avail
SOLUTION
I did a full wipe and flashed an update.zip (by materstock?/team black hat) that contained the latest ota updated radio, kernel, bootloader, etc...I was concerned that the kernel version appeared to be the same as before...hadn't bricked it yet (and would buy her the thunderbolt if I did) so pushed forward...
Reactivated phone with verizon and then tested camera and mp3. Works
"Honey, I flashed the stock moto software back to your phone - everything works now. Do you want to keep this or try liberty"
"Does this have blur on it?"
"Yeah..."
"I don't want blur"
I trained her well in the ways of droid, huh?
Long story short I reflashed liberty restored backed up apps and everything works. 1400 on quadrant..its not the 2800 I get on my g2 with cm7 but a good bit better than stock droid x (and undervolted too).

Was she on the 2.3.15 OTA update or 2.3.34 OTA. If her phone wasnt on the latest update then it may have some missing library files.

ive had one serious issue since installing liberty- it constantly will randomly reboot. ive had to switch to fission as fission is the only one that runs nicely for me with minimal blur but has the blur camera.
I installed 1.5 on day one. I'm also getting random reboots. Its only happened twice. Other than that best rom available! I'm already excited about next update!

HDMI Out
I love everything about this except I can't push the video out through the HDMI. Is there a work around or should it be working and I need to reflash?
To my knowledge none of the AOSP roms do HDMI out. I do believe at one point there was an app in the market that reportedly would send video out via HDMI, but I never used it.
i wish this would of worked for me. I tried everything to get 1.5 to work on my phone but have had nothing but random reboots. liberty 1.0 worked like a champ.
I tried the following loading my .340 rooted back up and loading liberty 1.5 , loading maderstock340 and loading liberty1.5 of course with doing a factory reset before loading liberty each time. My next try will be loading maderstock340, rooting, loading rom manager, and making sure i don't allow Google to load my backed up apps thats the only thing i can think of that might be causing an issue and has been done each time liberty 1.5 was loaded. If this don't work i will be forced to roll back to stock or look for another rom.
Any insight on what im trying would be greatly appreciated.
well it seems google automatically restores your apps when you do a factory reset.... Can any confirm that this might be the root of my issues?
Not everything blur is bad. There are a few blur apps that are just better than what is out there now or work better with the X IMO. Camera being one of them. That is what is so great about the Liberty Toolbox, makes it easy to add back the blur apps.
Helpp with Liberty
I recently just got Liberty. Only problem im having is with my contacts. Most of them got deleted except for the ones that were backed up to google, which was the ones i added while i owned my X. I gave up on restoring them but the rom wont even let me edit my contact pages...
Anyone know if how to fix this. Any help is appreciated!

You should have done a Vcard or .vcf back up to your sd card that way after you flash the new rom you can restore from the sdcard

[Q] ROMS LAGFIX etc.

I have a few questions.
I understand there are official updates for our phones 2.1->2.2 but they are operator based. So there are customized roms, that are with custom stuff.
I'm really intereseted in upgrading from 2.1 official rom to a custom, but dont know exactly which one to choose.
I once flashed a 2.2 but it bricked my phone, so i had it repaired (the phone didnt respond to any key combinations or anything at all).
So is there any point to upgrade if there isnt any stable roms.
And also why is everyone waiting for the official update from samsung when there are already 2.2 roms for 5800.
Lagfix seems like a thing to try out, but i want to be sure which rom is the best and so that the basic stuff works.
Don't know about others, but my reason for not upgrading to unofficial/custom ROMs is that I don't want to risk my phone (even if that risk may be small..)..I also don't have time to backup data, reset phone, re-install app.s, do settings again etc. which might be needed in the flashing process.
Besides, from what I read in this forum, none of the ROMs seems to be satisfactory enough & ready for prime time. But frankly, I am losing my patience fast & may soon go for a custom ROM if official upgrade doesn't arrive by end of this month..damn Samsung for taking sooo long..

Thanks for your reply, that's what i wanted to know. I was thinking the same thing that probably the custom roms arent stable enough and that the official update still aint available.
Why don't you use a stock 2.2 ROM like the JPF?

is it safe and works fine just like the default 2.1 that we have in our phones?
Sure ^^ and you cant brick your phone if you dont flash your bootloader^^ jpf also works faster^^ i would recommend to flash a custom rom. Like lestatious one. Everything works well on it^^ have fun
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
just dont flash the bootloader and you can always reenter download mode.
backing up isn't that big of an issue, titanium backup backs up pretty much everything.
If you're planning on using titanium, just be aware that you should only restore non android apps when switching from eclair to froyo..i tried this and kept getting fc's. Just make backups of stuff in the individual apps like contacts etc, then restore them after you upgrade to froyo. Then make a full titanium backup of everything once you have your phone the way you want it. From then on you can just test any rom you like and always have a quick easy way of getting your stuff back. I recommend using astro to backup titanium so you can have a version to hand after flashing.
P.S. I use jfp ultra clean and it rocks my socks

Ok, i might try out the stock 2.2 rom... But what about lagfixes or are they even neccessary on 2.2?
Cause my current 2.1 stock rom is really laggy, i remove tasks to clean up memory but it's still kinda slow.
Well if you're flashing a stock rom I would definately suggest JPF because it's pretty stable. You don't necessarily need the lagfix though..I personally found it made things a bit strange with random hangs when closing applications. Oh yeah and don't forget to use the modded 3d gallery from SGS Tools (I use the "last" version). You should be able to install it via the "Upgrade stock apps" option. You can also use it to change your GPS pool to Europe if needed.

So the jpf rom isnt europe or just needs some configs like that? But is the stock rom the best option, i don't neccessarily need all those extra stuff like samsung apps and layar etc. Pauri mentioned lestatious rom, its on JPA, for example. Is each one one of those stock roms like an update with still some bugs on them or just converted from other phone updates?
I'm between that custom rom and the JPF stock right now..
Oh it's a european rom, it's just that the default gps pool is set to north america. I installed The modded 3d gallery as a work around for the battery drain bug that the stock gallery has in froyo. Jpf clean is what I'm using till theres a more stable lestat rom because I tried jp9, which was good, but the bloatware...oh my..

one more question, how do i root froyo 2.2 ?
i tried the one click method, after the command running it said everything is fine you're rooted. In recovery mode i tried to install update.zip but it didnt work.
havent see any alternatives for 2.2
can anyone help?

[INFO] Reduce / Eliminate FCs (and perhaps reboots)

For those of you who are having FC's or reboot problems, I recommend trying this (on all roms):
clear cache / DC 3x
flash the rom form the sd card
immediately flash the rom again
Do all of this without rebooting. What ive noticed a LOT is that I often get curious issues with roms, and then I flash them again and dont get those issues anymore (--or, I get a different set of curious issues). Since i do everything else the same, it seems that it must have been the flash that was problematic. just as we have grown accustomed to wipe data multiple times to ensure a successful clear, we should also become accustomed to flashing (especially for larger files more prone to exhibiting problems) multiple times to ensure a clean and successful write.
I know there was a GB ram leakage problem with EG22/EH06 which was causing reboots, but even with these roms you shouldnt be experiencing FC's right out of the box. A lot of people have claimed to run EH17 without any reboots (or FCs) so you too should be able to experience it. Good luck all.
PS - If you have Journaling OFF, make sure your phone doesn't die due to lack of power! Keep it charged. Four times so far I've been thrown into the chaos of "The application Google services Framework has stopped unexpectedly," due to letting un-journaled phones die. Now, I just keep it on for data safety / integrity.
First. Good tip.
you'll probably get flamed for posting this in development though.

I brought the lighters, let's getm,,,,, oh, well damn, good tip man.
You know I have never had to flash anything twice and things go pretty well with my flashes for the most part but I do one thing that isn't usually mentioned. After I do all the wipes 3x (data cache dalvik) I go into mounts and storage and I format data cache and system. The data and cache obviously have already been formatted but none of the wipes ever touch system. The ROM script must do that I guess, but I figure why not play it safe and personally clean all the file systems... Works for me.

thanx for the tip man.....will try next time I flash a new ROM
this is what i did after seeingit in a post and mines is runnign goood so far ...question how do u know if journaling is on or off
great tip.. im about to try it RIGHT NOW.. I have wiped and reinstalled roms for the past 2 days now.. because I keep getting reboots and force closes.. even before I try to install any new apps.. im now on a rooted stock deodexed EG22.. that I just flashed about 2 hours ago.. I will now try a custom rom and fash twice and see how it works out for me..
This sounded interesting so I broke my vow not to flash gingerbread again until it was released. I decided to do everything differently than I had in all the previous installs and follow the OPs directions. I'm running EC05 rooted with CWM, so I downloaded the stock odex EH17 zip, followed the clearing suggestions in this post, and flashed EH17 in CWM. Flashed it twice as suggested. Flashed SU, and rebooted.
Long story short, after about 90 minutes it rebooted on its own.
Glad I made a nandroid backup before I started this, because I'm back on stock EC05 rooted again.
all gb roms will have fc's; this is just a procedure to make sure that the fc's you Do experience are caused by errors in the rom's programming as opposed to flashing errors =]
i too am on rking's ec05

I can also assure everyone, turning your head to the right, while flashing, improves the data connection speeds with any GB modem.

I had great success with EH17 using the Tegrak config along with the EH17Plus Kernel. Also, I found that the only time I did get a reboot was when I was using the hotspot or wireless tether. But it only happened when the phone got hot and was NOT on the charger. No reboots at all when tethering if I had the phone plugged into the charger, or during any other usage. I recently went back to EC05 to use the SRF1.2 ROM. EH17's modem was a lot faster too, imo. Going back when more ROMs become available.
Also, I tried Hurricane but got fc's. I'll try it again with the doube flash. I liked it otherwise. Now that I think about it, I was flashing modems and started getting fc's on SRF1.2. But none after I flashed it again (double). So this may be the trick if you're having fc's.

Dude you already asked this I think...
There is no way any one of us can _ask_ for a 4.3 ROM for good old Glacier... Going for 2.2 to 4.2 was a huge feat. Going to 4.3 would be the most incredible feat ever. We should all appreciate the developers we have more, and thank them for their time, even if we will never have a 4.3 ROM.
Thanks guys!
I agree that all the devs deserve a huge thank you. I have a SGS4G and the devs there work very hard to get our phone to 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 to 4.3 even though Samsung said the phone can't handle it.
My buddy has a glacier and I have seen the great quality of Deva you guys have here and am sure they want 4.3 just as much as everyone here does. All I can suggest is patience and maybe a donation.
One thing we did to help "motivate" everyone is start a bounty threat. Everyone chip in and the pot goes to the dev that makes the first fully functional 4.3. Just a thought.

Great news that albinoman887 got 4.3 off the ground. Unfortunately, I have a problem, and since I'm the junior...est of members, I can't yet post in the development thread where I could ask him this directly, so I thought I'd give this thread a shot.
I did a factory reset on my MyTouch 4G, installed Albinoman's 4.3 (gapps-jb-20130726.zip) ROM and the new GApps (gapps-jb-20130726) zip linked to in his thread, rebooted, and everything appeared to be working until it was time to enter and sync to my GMail account, at which point I received an error message indicating that the AOSP Android keyboard had closed. Sure enough, every time I attempted to input anything, the message reappeared and I had no way of logging into my Google account. Touch screen input works, but without a keyboard, that's as far as I could go.
Thinking maybe I had a corrupted GApps zip, I did another full wipe, re-flashed the ROM, and this time tried the 07/13 GApps zip; unfortunately, when I rebooted, I got identical behavior. Since I needed to use my phone as a, you know, phone (they still do that!) tonight, I did yet another wipe, flashed the latest 4.2 ROM (also from Albinoman) and, to make sure it worked, the newest 07/26 GApps. No problems, seems to work perfectly.
I've checked albinoman's 4.3 thread, and, while there are a few bug reports, no one else seems to be having this keyboard problem. I never had (unusual) keyboard issues with 4.2 or any older ROMs, and it works fine now, so this doesn't appear to be a hardware issue.
Any suggestions? As a n00b, is there any way for me to message albinoman directly without coming off as a d-bag? Thanks in advance...
