I just updated my aria to the latest 2.2 liberated Rom. I installed it this morning and now just realized it said to wipe data before I installed it. But I didn't. I just plain out installed it. It seems like its running fine. But what do I do? Do I still need to wipe data or something?

If it were me, I would do a backup and wipe it then re-install, but If you are not experiencing any issues, then it does not seem like you need to. If you do encounter any issues, Then definitely do it.
No need to wipe data if you are going from a liberty to liberty, if you went to liberty to cm6 then yes you would need to wipe data..

Don't think too complicated for this, if you don't have problem, then let it be.
To tell you to wipe, is to lower the chance to have problem.
It's just same as upgrading/change of different OS of you PC.
e.g. One maybe painless from XP -> Vista without format, the other maybe turns out blue screen.

Hey guys i finally rooted my and now my gps doesnt work i even turn my wifi on to help it. Does anyone have any ideas why it would stop working?
Thanks guys

What version of CM7 do you have? RC1? It is widely known that RC1 still has many GPS issues for people. There are fixes in the thread for modifying a few files. Or you can flash to any nightly later than around build #4 (they started over at #1 after the RC1 came out) in which they fixed some GPS issues for many people.
Thanks alot man. Im really new to this is there a link for to fix the problem? Im not sure how to do the nightly because me and my friend just rooted last night for the first time.
Sorry if i sound annoying

Just flashing a newer build is probably easier than doing a fix and modifying files if youre new to this.
The latest nightlies can be found on cyanogenmod.com . HERE is the link to the G2 (HTC Vision) nightlies.
The latest is #7 right now (cm_vision_full-7.zip). Just download and put on your SD card (remember, only use the builds for "Vision", the codename for the G2). Go to ROM manger and click "Install ROM from SD card" then select the file and you're good to go. Don't forget to do a Nandroid backup first just in case it doesn't work out for you.
All these builds are is small iterations and changes baked on-top of RC1 and before the stable release. For the most part at this point their no more/less stable than RC1.
Thanks alot. Would i need i need reinstall the zip for google maps?

Nope, if you're coming from a previous version of CM7 and don't wipe data (theres no need to) you shouldn't need to reflash any Gapps.
Well i did the nightly cyn7 and still not working. I even went back to the RC1 and still not working. Idk what else to do. I was thinking of going to cyn6 since its stable?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Did you flash the nightly over RC1? Just make sure to clear the caches without wiping the data. And then flash it over.
Did you enable Google location sharing (the exact terminology of that may be off)? If you're stuck at "Waiting for location" you might need to toggle that setting.

Yea I'm hoping he did. But if he didn't that could be the issue.
go to the nightly page install #1 that is what i did and my gps is working #7 did not work for me and rc1 did not work.
I fixed it by clearing the cache then reflashing the nightly...thanks for all the help guys.

Also what apps do you guys rec for me to maintain my phone from running apps while phone not being use or killing apps etc. I really appreciate all the help guys.
Thanks again

If anyone still is having issues and you have Juice Defender install, uninstall it. For me it seems that Juice Defender was the issue. I noticed that Juice Defender and Gingerbread do not get along. GPS works now. I also install nightly 8 after clearing the cache.
Thanks man. Also how can i get my quick buttons back to work?

I am not a noob but not a dev. I been flashing roms for few years. So anyways my market is not letting me download anything. I have tried clearing cache. I tried clearing data. I tried flashing to my backup and that didn't even work.
Oh but wait, some apps do auto load. AND SOME ARE PAID APPS!!! THAT I PAID FOR. its totally weird. It's like the market has banned me or something. Anyone see this before or know a solution?

Try going into the application settings and clearing the cache and data for the market. Then reboot into recovery and fix permission.

It's probably not a wipe issue since it's a known issue on Sense 3.5 ROMs. However, I believe that is the only platform that has that issue. All other ROMs including earlier versions of Sense (like 3.0) don't have that bug.
Alright then. I wonder why I've never run into that. I've used 4 different sense 3.5 ROMs and use my camera everyday.

I wipe the cache and do a factory data. I actually just tried virtuous with sense 3.0 and still had the same issue. Im back on stock now cuz is the only sense ROM I can find without this issue
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Unity ROM has that issue, with Sense 3.0.
You need to flash Doubleshot camera to get rid of it.

You should wipe system partition between ROM flashes. It will save lots of issues in the future. That, followed by wipe data/factory reset (on CWM). Alternatively, if you're on 4EXT there is a "format all partitions (except sd card)" option.

Any gb sense ROM. That includes Sense 3.5

Well I just tried mikrunny. Wiped, flash, rebooted and than flashed the doubleshot camera but I'm still getting the flash delay I know I'm just being picky but the only reason I have a mytouch if for the flash when I go out to snap pics, otherwise I have my vibrant for my everyday phone. I just wish I could find a 3.5 ROM that doesn't have this problem, I really dislike stock espresso ROM lol

Well, teejay said its probably not a wipe issue, but as I've said before, this has never been a problem for me. Format system, wipe data/factory reset (in that order), and reflash. Formatting the system partition has saved me many an issue that others have reported.

Ok I can't find anything to answer this question. Therefore I am asking, because I just don't believe this has been asked be4. I am running Revolution HD 6.3.1. My phone(HTC INSPIRE 4G) sometimes just slows down to a halt. It started about a week ago. I have uninstalled a good many apps, and cleared plenty of space. Prior to rooting, and flashing I had this problem and restoring to factory setting fixed this. Ok now that I've explained that, the Rom(as stated above) I'm on has the option to do this. I want to know if I do this if it will "restore back to just flashed condition" although it says factory condition, but Is a flashed ROM. Will it just simply put, brick my device, or reinstall the Rom as if I had just flashed it. Thanks ahead of time.

Ir you factory reset the phone you will get stuck in the splash screen. If you want to go back to stock, the restore a backup from CWM or flash a stock Rom from CWM. Factory reset does not work in custom roms...
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app
Thanks for that response. I'm not interested in stock at all. I just wanted to know if it would work. Root and flashed Roms are always smoother, even if some of them have bumps. Truthfully I'm waiting on a RC Rom from Existz, as I just want a stock android experience

Well... When you make a nand, backup the SD ext for that Rom. You can't keep apps when switching from sense to reloaded since, obviously, sense stuff wont work with aosp. Also, before restoring, wipe SD ext and all that stuff. Not sure if it does anything, but i always do that before banding back to a rom

What i do is,when i install a new rom,i set everything up,no tweaks and themes yet,just the settings and gmail,crap like that,i update my apps and then i nandroid everything,i even do compression,takes up less space,then i start adding tweaks,one by one,then i nand again and delete the old one,i do this procedure,until i have my rom where i want it.
When you do a nand leave the top three or whatever checked, check SD ext., and uncheck android secure. The next time you restore that nand it will be as you left it before you flash.

Backup everything except cache if you want to restore to exactly the same thing you have when you run the backup

If you don't back up .android make sure you have moved all apps to the phone or those apps won't work on restore. I have been told you don't need to wipe before a restore but I always do.

Well i'm not sure who told you that,but if you dont wipe before a restore,theres a possibilties of having issues from the other rom.I recommend a full wipe before anything but mods,updates or Gapps.
I have heard before that the wiping scripts are built into the restore process, though I don't know how true that is. I have never wiped before a restore and have never had the slightest problem no matter what rom I'm going to or from.

I always wipe caches and temp files on a restore. Better safe than sorry, right?
