you should be able too but you will have to reinstall your kernel but you should have asked this on ROMS thread

I did that and the wireless was not working so i recommend to do a complete wipe so you can make sure you dont have problems trust me on the long run its better.

You'll save more time by wiping, believe it or not. A lot of little issues may pop up if you don't.

Do this... Make a nandroid of your 4.4 setup, then try flashing over it with 4.5. If you have problems, either go back to your 4.4 nandroid, or wipe and start over with a fresh flash of 4.5.

thank you for the quick responses i had to wipe every and it is working great average of 40mflops

some questions
I am only a few days old to the flashing a ROM to the HTC Evo but I feel I have a pretty good hang of things. I have the following things:
4.5 Mikfroyo (installed last night after finally reading enough to upgrade to the 4.5)
netarchy 4.3.1-cfs-havs-nosbc flashed
the sdreadahead-512.zip installed for faster SD card speeds ( if you want to try it out... http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/02/h...c-evo-even-faster-than-previous-mod.html#more )
but what i am trying to accomplish now is getting the Vanilla lockscreen to work on my phone. I have read that the 4.5 update seems to have the lockscreen within the ROM already, that I just need to delete or rename the htclockscreen.apk within the system/app folder with the Root Explorer app. Here is my issue though: I have changed the Root Explorer to r/w and have located the file from root--->system-->app--->htclockscreen.apk. If I tap on the file it asks me to install/ view/ or cancel. But I thought it was already installed on the system already? If not, do I need to install it, then delete it? That sounds outright silly but then again some stuff is just that way. I have renamed the file and rebooted but, again, to no success. I know that there was a person asking the same question but I guess I could not understand their conversation enough to know how to follow as they did.
Also, just a general question. why is the 4g toggle missing in the notifications bar now? that was kind of handy for me. oh well, i guess i can just use the HTC toggle on a page instead.
Last question, i would like to flash a new theme to the ROM (white version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853050) But when I downloaded it, set it to the SD card, went into recovery, flashed it, and rebooted, the HTC splash screen (white screen) just stayed on forever. I had to restore from my backup, thank god I knew to do that before hand, and just kept the stock theme with MikFroyo. what could I be doing wrong?

I also am having a problem with the lock screen but mine is a little different. When i boot up and unlock phone for the fisrt time. I get a forced close error. Other then that everything in 4.5 is working good so far

Long press on the .apk, a menu will pop up, then click rename from there. Just did it yesterday and it worked fine. I just added .bk at the end (htclockscreen.apk.bk)
As for the 4g missing in the pulldown menu, you can learn how to change it here (taken from the mikfroyo thread) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877003

thank you Bamba, the lockscreen is now operational and wonderful!!! always have wanted this lockscreen! (Guess it is true, the grass is always greener on the other side.)
as for the missing 4g toggle, i kimd of understand the thread but i will read over it one more time so that i do not mess anything up.
Thanks again!

What kernel are you using if you dont mind me askin?.. and are you using SetCPU or anything?.. Juice defender type stuff?..
I was just wondering cuz I have 4.5 w/ the stock kernel and only get about 28-29 most of the time... not that it really matters, but it does seem a little sluggish goin from app to app.... thanks

i have since switched to vp 3.0 remastered, and is by far in my experience the best rom i have every used. everything is working good for me so far and since falling in love with LP this is the rom for me. I am using the latest radio and pri 1.77 and sbc-net 4.1.9 no havs and it is amazing, really fast. So far I have been on this rom and kernel for 18 hours sitting at 71%. I am going to make a detailed video and post a link to it here and for youtube.

New to mikfroyo,Had cynaogenmod cm7 on evo with cricket.worked ok.3g did.Friday i had it flashed back to sprint.Put cyanogen back on it.worked great.EXCEPT the 3g would go back to 1x. So put 4.5 mikfroyo. and it works great.So my question is were do you get the updates for mikfroyo? cyanogen released nightly builds.Is there a site or info on updates?Also is there a 2.3 android mikfroyo out?

Few Questions

First off I'm running CyanogenMod-5.0.7-DS-test2. I know it's old but just never have updated. That being said is there a 2.2 ROM being worked on for the myTouch 1.2 phones? I ask because T-Mobile just announced that we will be getting Android 2.2 soon. Bummed because I really like some of the new stuff in 2.2 but because I've rooted, modded my phone I won't get that update as far as I know right? So therefore I have two questions. Again is there a 2.2 ROM being worked on for these phones and if not how can I get my phone back to the way it was when I first got it? Thanks in advance.
Moving to General because this has nothing to do with developing ROMs.
Sorry about that Binary.

No worries. The Magic thread has been a bit slow the past few days anyway. It's nice to have something to do.

If you flash back to your stock ROM when it's released you will get the notification and be able to install it.
The problem for XDA at the moment is that the 2.2 source has not been released, which makes it a pain in the arse to work with for cooking ROMs.

HOw do I get my phone back to stock? Is there a way to get it back to stock without losing my ROOT access?

If you want stock you will lose root. If T-Mobile send you the 2.2 update you will still not have root. Why haven't you checked out CM6-RC1 yet? It's stable and with root. I've been running it for over a week on my MyTouch 1.2 and haven't had any issues.
Individual results may vary.
So CM6-RC1 runs pretty good on the MT3G 1.2 (32A EBI0)? No updating needed on anything to run it? I JUST loaded 5.0.8 tonight. Didn't do a wipe since I was upgrading from 5.0.7 to 5.0.8. Really hate to have to wipe AGAIN and reinstall all of my apps LOL!
On a 5.0.8 related note I thought I could overclock to 576 with 5.0.8. I'm using SetCPU and it won't let me go higher than 528. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Yes CM6-RC1 runs very well on MyTouch 1.2, you just need root and a custom recovery installed. You should use Titanium to backup your apps and data because a wipe might be required. I didn't have to... but results may vary. In regards to SetCPU, I wouldn't know because I am comfortable with what I have. I have 7 completely filled screens with JIT and everything else is default. I have just over 100 apps installed and I have about 150mb of internal memory remaining still. No need for a2sd.
Custom recovery? Would that be the Aman of whatever it's called that I have currently?

Make a nandroid backup first!!!!
Oh yeah of course.
Well got CM6 running. Not sure what's going on but man it's SLOW for some reason. I did notice my max CPU went up to 576 though. Still not sure why it's running so slow. Notice everytime I go into settings and hit the Home button my home screen has to refresh.
EDIT: Not sure if this is a bug or what but a lot of my contacts have no green phone icon next to them anymore and if I press and hold to edit them I get a Force Close. So I did some digging and notice no GMAIL accounts were setup. I went to GMAIL and it told me I had to setup an account. Hit Add Account and nothing happens. Not good at all. That explains why those contacts aren't showing up. I installed the GAPPS on the CM6 RC1 page. Should I not have done that? Weird that there is no GMAIL account setup as that's how I had to setup the phone initially. Same when I'd wiped and installed a custom ROM in the past. Also seems that Market doesn't work. I click the Market icon and a white screen opens and then closes. Very ****ty. And I know that I can't downgrade back to 2.1 (5.0.8) without wiping right?

That's what a nandroid backup is for.
But try a complete wipe, reflash and restore SOME of your apps and data. You also need to make sure that you flash the correct gapps. Froyo not the donut, eclair one.
Yeah I used the one on the same post with the CM6 download link. Will try a wipe then try CM6 again.

So Binary here is an interesting one for ya. I ended up doing a wipe. Also did a Dalvik wipe as well. Loaded CM6 RC1 on. Loaded the Google Apps on. Worked fine. Then I noticed apps showing up in my drawer that I hadn't manually installed. Eventually it appears the Market installed every app I had running before I wiped. Not sure how it did that. Trying to get my Weather Widget Donate to work. Try to load the Large flip clock and weather widget and all it does is make my home screen fade a little but that's it.
EDIT: Finally got my weather app to work. Think I'm finally on the right track now. Loving the fact I can have up to 7 screens! And the Update All in Market is a godsend!

2.1 sucks...how can I get 1.5 back?

Not sure what they did on this thing. I thought 2.1 was supposed to IMPROVE performance...and add some BT functionality.
I got no BT improvement. Instead, I got:
1. Random reboots
2. Slow/crashing Navigation
3. Useless voice recognition on Navigation
4. Random phone calls placed when fiddling with BT
5. Slow opening notifications
6. WIFI won't turn on
I could go on and on...
Sprint says I can't go back to 1.5, but I'm sure there's a way to do it.
HELP PLEASE! I'm rooted, if that helps.
Greg
theres noway. your H-Boot has been updated. thats the end of it. 1.5 just wont work anymore.

Yes it does. Just find a 1.5 ROM for CDMA hero. However, before most of our devs moved on to the EVO almost all of them stop developing 1.5 and moved to 2.1
I would suggest trying out some 2.1 ROMs and see what you like.
If you are rooted you should have put a recovery on your phone that you can get to by pressing home and turning on your phone. The first thing you will want to do is make a nandroid backup in case you don't like things. Then stick a ROM on your sdcard. Select all the wipe options except for battery and rotate and then flash a new ROM.
Id try wiping and reloading a 2.1 rom. I never had any of those problems when I went to 2.1.
I'm running the latest DamageControl and can honestly say I am not having any of those issues. I say you should try using a different ROM.

I didn't root until I got 2.1, so I surmise the 1.5 is gone, right?

RegawMOD was also recommended. Any reason why to pick one or the other?
Thanks for all the help. Sad that unpaid and unsupported independent developers can do this job better than HTC.
In a best case world, I'd be able to get ad hoc networking to work. I followed the directions but didn't have any success. My ultimate goal was to enable my Hero to display photos wirelessly from my computer. Many programs do it the other way around.
Originally I thought BT would be the easiest wireless protocol, but it seems pretty weak for that sort of data transfer. So 802.11 seemed a better solution...but for some reason Android folks decided to cripple the OS from recognizing ad hoc networks. Odd.

You can still flash 1.5 ROMs. You just can't flash the 1.5 RUU.
Great...
Tried Damagecontrol 2.09, did a clean wiped install, and everything seemed fine. Didn't seem much faster, but whatever.
Too bad I waited until I was at work to reboot. Now it's in a bootloop, and I'm stuck at work with no phone.
Sprint sent me a new phone. Once I confirm it's got 1.5, they can have this 2.1-infected POS back.

Look... there's a good chance your new Hero WILL have 2.1 on it. If it does, just root it and install a custom 1.5 rom.

This might mean you simply didn't wipe everything before you flashed the new ROM. Always perform a full wipe before flashing new ROMs.
Take the battery out of your phone. Put it back in and reboot to Recovery (hold Home and press Power). Then select the Wipe option, and go down that list and wipe every single category (I do them each twice just to make sure).
Then go back to the main menu and flash the ROM again. That should probably solve any bootloop problems.
(I don't know if it works exactly this same way with the rooted 2.1 RUU [I'm still on rooted 1.5], so if any of the above is wrong, anybody please correct it...)

Yeah, I was thinking about that. If so, I might as well keep MY phone and install a 1.5 ROM on it. Less work, and they can have their "new" phone back.

Wow, so working with this ROM is like dealing with my kids. I have to tell it everything twice No thanks. Not worth the hassles.
2.1 doesn't do anything better that I can see. I'll deal with wired tethering considering how rarely I use it. The Navigation on 1.5 works better, or at least the voice recognition does.
Why exactly are you still using 1.5??? What custom 1.5 ROM would you guys recommend? Any that have ad hoc networking built in so I don't have to hack it myself?

You don't have to do them all twice, I was just saying that I do to make sure -- personal preference. Considering how those wipe options only take like 1 second each, there is no "hassle" of which you speak. Adds maybe an extra 4 to 5 seconds to your day at most.

I'm not still on a 1.5 ROM, I just haven't yet updated my phone to stock 2.1 using the can't-ever-go-back-again 2.1 RUU. What I meant is that I still have the 1.5 root, but I have been using 2.1 ROMs over top of that for at least a couple months now. I think all these 2.1 ROMs are much faster than 1.5 ever was. Slow speed and lag were my biggest annoyances in stock 1.5.
We probably won't be able to answer all your questions or remove all your doubts. You won't know completely until you try some of them yourself.
If you look in the Wiki there are several 1.5 Roms out there that you can use. However, there are some apps that will only work with 2.1. Once your rooted you can flash any ROM from 1.5 or 2.1. You might also consider an AOSP rom which doesn't have Sense UI. But as I stated in another thread yesterday, most people end up adding apps to try and emulate certain characteristics of Sense UI. I don't like vanilla android, but it is supposed to be faster.
Here are all of the ROMs available. If you want a 1.5 Rom I would suggest Gumbo 1.5c, Modaco 2.2, or Fresh 1.1.
Thanks all. I honestly can't imagine how anyone could find 2.1 faster than 1.5, but I guess maybe once I'll reload 1.5, it may remind me. The "other half" of the people are (like me) saying the CPU can't handle the extra 2.1 features.
I never found 1.5 slow for anything other than phone calls. Now, those are WORSE, and the lag time to do anything else now exists, where it didn't before.
I ran DC all day, and it was just as annoying as the stock ROM. Maybe a little better in places, worse in others.
I guess I'm running "basic" stuff compared to all you guys running heavy apps or something.
Pancake 1.5 running now...refreshingly smoothly Yea, a bit of the glitz is gone, but wow, no lag.
And I have a Navigation program back that has a functional voice recognition. I hesitate to update because I'm not sure how far the revs go under 1.5. I don't want the new version back and I don't know if it's 2.1-only.

Help with a TB issue would be appreciated!

Hey guys, noob here and am kind of hung up...
I d/l TB from the Market some time ago, I used it maybe 2 or 3 times to go through and delete a few unwanted apps. I went through a little tough period where I accidentally deleted 'Google Talk', I found the apk's and fixed that whole issue; however it seems ever since that incident TB will not fire up (correctly). It is telling me it cannot get root access (though I KNOW my phone is rooted). When I goto Problems>Get Busy Box it seems to d/l, but then I get an Error at the top of my device stating that it failed and to see the website for more trouble shooting. I have un-installed TB, re-installed and still noooo luck.
Does anyone have any idea whats going on? Thanks in advance!
Open superuser, tap on TB and "forget " su access. Reboot. Reopen TB and grant su access again.

Hmmmm... looks As if my phone may not be rooted any longer? I originally did it through z4root, and now that app isn't in the market.. am I missing something here?
Think it was that EA28 update that did all this. Trying to figure out how to manually root now.
Probably the easiest way to get back to a stock rooted image would be to download an odin image and install it that way. Or are you trying to just get root access back?

Awesome !! Got EB01, Froyo 2.2 with Super Clean 2.4... thanks a lot man. My first custom ROM ever haha
You will have to try out Super Clean 2.5! It is compiled of nearly 75% of EB16 source code. The 2.4 I have had some battery life issues. About 12-14 hours tops on a full charge. I am hoping that super clean 2.5 will help with the issue. It might be something to look into.

[Q] 2.3.3 OTA Rooted problem...

Hey I would have posted this on a different thread but i cant because i just made this account they want atleast 10 posts...
heres the deal... i have a rooted evo and running cm7 which i like, but i was dropping calls and where i live i should have good service. so i got the updated radio/wifi/ ect package and flashed it... it installed but did not help with the call issue... i heard many other having the same problem.
so i flashed the ota root update... which seemed like it did it really fast (wasnt watching the whole time) and the phone rebooted but gets stuck at the white htc evo screen, i let it sit there for 20 mins nothing, so right now i am recovering my old cm7... just wondering if anyone has that same problem or can help with getting better voice reception on cm7.. like i said i have tried the package for radio ect... and my prl was updated before i flashed to stable of cm7 so that should be in good standing i would imagine... thanks..
The obvious first question is, did you do a full and complete wipe of everything before you flashed the ROM?
As far as your signal, it may have been just in my area, but I know a few people that had problems texting and making calls, getting a "Network Is busy" error.
yea i did the wipe data/cache i wasnt dropping calls before the cm7 so im not sure right now im shootin to myns seeing how that is... cm7 was first flash i did
well as im trying to flash to the myns its looking like the samething... ill go through the steps...
have zip file in root of sd card
open up rom manager, have the newest clockwork thing installed
i goto flash from sd wipe data and cache are checked... i already have a backup so i skip that part
it installs.... says install is done and reboots itself... but seems to stay on that white bootscreen
if i take the battery out then i can reboot with recovery from the save file i have
blah i dont know... i got the ota installed... looked like it got a bit better reception.. i updated prl and came back to cm7 same probs... i dunno maybe ill just have to let go of cm7... really dont want to though its so sexy lol
I had the same weak signal issue with cm7 and had dropped calls and data dropping to 1x. I am on stock rooted 2.3.3 and reception is good again. Liked cm7 but need a phone I can use in the boonies.

Dude, please, don't use ROM Manger.
Just boot to recovery, hopefully, you have Amon Ra, if not, search how to get it on your phone, it's not hard, do a FULL WIPE, full, wipe everything in recovery, then flash the ROM in recovery.
No offense to the Dev, I know he's a great guy, a smart guy, hard worker that makes a contribution, but Rom Manager is not the best way to do this.
Yea had to do it manually but nymph works now liking it so far
ok now i have different problem.... got the myn working liking it, but my market is completely different, not just the theme, but the apps i usually download... so tried to flash new market but it just open/closes quickly... any ideas for that?
Not sure by what you mean by the apps you usually d/l.
One thing about the Market in these newer ROMS is that sometimes, you just need to give it some time to fully sync before all your apps so up...
You should pull the market out of the zip file for the ROM and re-install that one, but you'll have to delete the one you have installed now, first.
umm usually download ninjump cant find that just some games that are usually on my phone the market on cm7 had them... ill give it a try though
look on the android market website

JT's Pure Gingerbread from Twitter

Just installed, but no gapps and no recovery or reboot option, just shutdown.
So far sensors seem to work- rotation, proximity is a little slow after pulling away from face
Call volume is much improved
GPS turns on, have not been able to get outside to test for satellite lock yet
Wireless will not turn on - no foce close, just wont enable
Data works - downloading New Market to try and bump gapps install ( no PC available for adb at the moment)
Will post details in a bit
MMS sends, have not received reply yet
Still unable to install gapps, any ideas?
Very fast and very vanilla
Ha, I'm stuck at work too! Really looking forward to seeing how it runs. I'm sure you can flash the gapps package jt has in his CM7 thread. And if your drivers are set up on your pc you should be able to adb reboot recovery.... hopefully.
Did you ask JT if you could post the link here? You think there might be a reason he is only posting on twitter and not here?

Oops, did not think about that. Will remove link until I hear back...
No lock on GPS
Received MMS
Very nice so far, but restoring back to CM7 until I can get to a PC with adb to install gapps
Is there a way to get to the new recovery? Not the three finger salute one that is

Since it is vanilla Gingerbread, the only option to recovery is three finger, although I did not try to install ROM Manager, so it may work to boot straight into recovery.
I odin'd the cw4 from Jt's CM7 post, but still got errors about not being able to mount /system, so I guess there are still file system differences between CM7, Gingerbread, and Froyo.
I had to odin back to stock, flash CM7, then restore my backup.
With the limited time I played with it, it performed spectacularly aside from the previously mentioned issues.
Once I can get gapps and a working recovery installed it could easily be a daily driver for me.

If you have JT's .zip file for installing CM7, when you tell CWM (red) to Install Zip from SD card, and choose the CM7 zip, it will auto-reboot you into CWM blue.
from there you can easily flash any of the new CM7 roms, including MIUI, OMFGB, and of course the CM7 zip that got you into the blue recovery in the first place.
Also, put JT's gapps .zip file onto your SD card and flash with thew new CWM after you have installed the rom. shouldn't need adb to install that.
I noticed yesterday that his release has Dev Tools which includes the Terminal Emulator. So I ended up just rebooting that way

reboot recovery?
Did not think about that, I am going to re-flash it later this afternoon from scratch to try some GPS fixes also...
Does anyone know if this project is still being worked on? I haven't seen any mention of it from JT since the original tweet.
I would like to use this as a daily-driver if it's stable enough.
AOSP Gingerbread isn't really a project, it's plain Gingerbread as Google released it. Not really a whole lot to work on after it's Fascinate ready.

Everything seems to work so far...GPS, MMS, data, wifi, sensors, etc
JTs vanilla GB is very light and very fast. This is GB as Android intended it to be. Nothing more than an OS really. No FB contact integration, appears no video or does not play avi, video recorder without 720p record.
He has released a second version and added a few things.
