Hi all,
I have my myTouch 4g and I am rooted. I went to CM7 but restored back to the stock ROM.
But now when I have HTC Sense as my launcher, I do NOT see the typical HTC sense clock/widget option under widgets.
I restored my stock backup from ROM manager that I did before I went to CM7. I am on the 3.0.0.5 CW.
How can I get it back? Do I need to go back to 2.x CW recovery mode?
Thanks
Ravneet
You did a nandroid restore with the 3.0.0.5 CW recovery? If you did that could be the issue.. Unless you use the newly modified 3.0.0.6 recovery you need to revert back to the 2.x version for froyo restores. Check out the post regarding the new x.6 CW which lets you restore, flash, etc with both CM (gingerbread) and Stock/everything else (froyo).

They are stating the ROM booted fine but they are missing one of the widgets that was on the ROM prior to flashing CM7.
That has nothing to do with the recovery image they are using. IF they want back to 2.2 from 2.3 they are doing things correct.
To the OP I'm not really sure how to help you other than suggesting downloading I/G and trying to install the .apk for the widget you are looking for.
I actually was on the latest CW recovery (.6) I guess, which supports both 2.2 and 2.3 ROMs.
I agree I might need to get the stock ROM flashed to get the Sense Weather apk.
Oh well. For now I am back on the stock ROM (after a factory reset) and have almost everything else except the sense weather widget, and rooted again.
Will wait until CM7 is more stable (had issues with HSPA+ speeds, didnt like the camera UI etc...).
Thanks anyways!
apk for Htc Weather+time widget (HTC Sense)
I am back after a while on this thread.
I did get to adb push the HtcClockWidget.apk from the stock ROM (de-ODEXd) posted somewhere in the forums. The push seems to have pushed some bytes, BUT I still CANNOT see the 'Clock' widget when I am running HTC Sense as my launcher.
I am rooted/s=off on stock ROM. I am trying to get the HTC clock widget (time + weather) to show up in the widget lists. I seem to have lost it once I came back from CM7 RC1. I have tried going back to CW2.5.1.4 but doesnt make any difference.
I see the 'Analog clock' widget but not the 'Clock' which has the flip time + weather in it.
Maybe I am installing the wrong apk?
Anyone here knows the correct apk for this widget?
I tried adb push while I was in recovery with +rw on /system/app
anyone?
Thanks

My suggestions would be to
A. Flash a different sense Rom
B. I could probably pull my clock weather apk and send it to you
Or
C. Grab a different sense rom that's fresh unzip it go into system>app and find the apk and put it on the same location on your phone, although you'd need a root explorer like sufbs or root explorer.

I have a mytouch 32b without a head phone jack that i'm working on. Its my girlfriends. Ive tried cm5, an optimized aosp one, and yoshi froyo rom on it. On all the roms, when im using an app or the browser, when i press home or back to go to my home screen, it has like a 5-10 second lag and the apps and clock widget take its time to appear. any help would be appreciated, thanks.
some info, im using clockwork mod recovery. I use oshakas super wipe to install. I havent installed the new spl or radio. currently using froyo yoshi. Have tried using launcherpro and adw launchers.

Try manually wiping instead of using Ohsaka and reflash the ROM.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
The first two Roms I installed in wiped manually, it's only with the last one that I used superwipe. Any other ideas? Has anyone experienced this lag? I've had it on my CDMA hero only a few times, but it's usually that my cache is full, or other reasons. A reboot or a fresh install of a rom always will fix it. With the Mytouch, it happens when the rom is just installed.
MODS: I am unsure of where to post this so sorry for the trouble.
So I work for Tmobile and love showing off my rooted mytouch 4g in all its glory.
So I requested a warranty exchange and got a TAIWAN VERSION w/ GOOD SCREEN in return. Like Day and Night.
Upon Receiving my warranty exchange phone it was 2.2.1. I attempted the same Visionary Root Process, (however was there some extra file i needed to DL? i forget)
After rooting my new phone, S-Off, I had flashed FAUX stock kernel 0.4.0b.
THEN THIS HAPPENS:
I cant get past the mytouch 4g splash screen. The first logo that appears. It gets stuck or bootloops. I can HBOOT and get into recovery 3.0.0.5
This is all i can do...i already asked for another warranty exchange...but in the meanwhile..how can i fix this problem or what did i do wrong?
ALSO can you backup one mytouch 4g and load it back up on another mytouch 4g with the same sd card? Thanks!
I had this problem with my MT4G when I flashed his kernal. It seems that his kernals are not designed to work with every 4g device. I hope you did a nandroid backup on the device. I was never able to get past the mytouch splash screen with his kernals

Well, at since you can get into recovery there should be a number of things you can do to get your phone to boot.
Download a new ROM to flash, if you are on clockwork 3 then you need CM7.
Clockwork has usb drive ability, turn it on, transfer the ROM then flash.
If you can get into HBoot or Recovery on ANY phone, you're safe. Hell, if you can't get into HBoot, your phone wouldn't even start up since HBoot is basically the equivalent to BIOS.
THE VERSION OF CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY YOU USE IS CRITICAL!!!
The version you are using is for Android 2.3 only.
Flash a v2 Recovery with adb or fastboot and reinstall your kernel, or install CM7.

If you've ever connected it via USB, it should have installed the drivers automatically (at least on Windows). I think the ADB driver only installs if you had "USB Debugging" checked. Mass Storage usually only refers to mounting the SD card; the driver for ADB is different. Look for something like Android Phone or Android ADB Interface in your device manager (again assuming Windows).
If you have ADB set up, try running the adb devices command. If it spits back the serial number of your phone, you should be okay to proceed.
Don't exchange the phone, fix it...
Just use another phone to copy the latest CM7 to the root of your sdcard and flash, if that doesn't work do the same thing with a PD15IMG.zip file to the root of your sdcard, hboot and restore to stock.
I have no problem with someone doing a warranty exchange for a hardware issue, but if you break your phone, don't make someone else pay for it...
i ended up solving the problem by doing what some of you had suggested. I flashed CM7 and WAH-LaH! when the phone got past the splash screen into CM7 i was on cloud 9.
Now What are the benefits of running CM7? as opposed to going back to Sense w/ Faux kernel again?
PLUS
how would i go back to a sense type rom again? would i go back into rom manager and flash a different recovery?
XDA you have been so helpful!
___bonus__also the haptic feedback on this phone was not as strong as my original..though idk if its just me or not..should i call tmobile and stop shipment of the OTHER phone? how is it i have a taiwan version plum W/ good screen?
There are no Sense-based Gingerbread (Android 2.3) ROMs available now ... Best practice its to make a Nandroid backup of CM7 with your installed CWM Recovery, then flash a version 2.x of CWM Recovery to install any Froyo (Android 2.2) based ROM.

Good to see it is working.
Its mostly personal preference at this point. Sense on the MT4G is pretty responsive and has some nice features. CM7 has its own tweaks and features. You loose the sense widgets but many can be replaced with alternatives in the market. You gain and loose relative in both ROMs So try out both and decide.
Use ROM Manager app to flash a new recovery. One of the 2. versions, then flash a froyo based ROM.
what about flashing kernels..are those "roms"
is cm7 itself pretty battery efficient? i still downloaded setcpu and set it to 11---.
2.XXX ..u mean like 2.5.1.4 for example..sorry not lookin at the phone atm.
++bonus
i also dl the cynogyn updater or wut not..wut url do i add for themes?

Kernels are not ROMs, the kernel is the underlying software of an OS. The kernel talks to the hardware and lets different parts of the OS communicate. Kernels are ROM specific, or Framework specific. A sense ROM can not use a AOSP kernel and vice versa.
CM ROMs can be good on battery, or not. It all depends on personal use and how you set it up.
That is a good recovery to use when flashing sense ROMs.
Not sure about the updater. If it is the one I am thinking, it hasn't been updated in a while. I think it has been abandoned in favor of ROM Manager. CM updater did come in some of his older ROMs, before ROM manager became the norm.
So I can or cannot flash fauxs kernel. I really liked the smartass profile. Also..I'm on cm 7 now...y do I get force closes on my market.

As people have already said, you used the wrong version of clockwork, also, use clockwork to flash a new rom. And make sure you use the right version.

Try fix permissions. If that does not work, do a full wipe (factory reset). If that still does not work, try re-flashing the ROM.
If you flashed a new kernel before you started having issues, this may fix it, or you may need to wipe caches and re-flash the kernel.
ok, so I'm a little new at this. But I downloaded the newest version of Iced Glacier, and put it on the root of my phone, but it turns out that my stupid mac unzipped the folder, so I wasn't able to flash it. And for some reason my clockwork in recovery won't let me restore. Everytime I try to restore it just brings me to the original mytouch 4g boot screen.. So my phone can't function now, and I'm getting worried. Any help would be much appreciated!
Just reflash it from recovery without it being unzipped

You will need to redownload it and make sure it doesnt unzip it and then install it again as mark manning said.
If you want to restore your backup of a 2.2 rom you must use Clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.6 or 2.5.1.2 . You can get 3.0.0.6 by making sure you have the latest Rom Manager from the market and then downloading and installing the zip I provide in the dev section or in my signature. You can DL it straight to your phone if you want just make sure to move it out of any folders on your sdcard before you try to install it.

You need to flash the GAPP.zip same way you flashed your rom go to the CM thread you will see it. Once GApp.zip is flashed you will be able to use Market, GMail, ect other Google related service. Normally CM can't supply these packages as they are not allowed to distribute.

I finally got around to rooting my mytouch. It was pretty simple really with visionary. My problem is that I would rather keep the sense ui and Widgets than switch to gingerbread without the convenience of swype and the nice and reliable Widgets from sense and froyo. That being said, the issue still remains. I deleted the original backup for the mytouch by accident. Since I no longer have this file, how can I go back to stock?

Well you can either use the 2.5 recovery image and flash the PD15IMG. But you must do it from the HBoot screen. Or you can visit the development section. They have a few stock nandroid back ups. That haven't been signed into google.

or you can download this rom and make a new nandroid, as this is just the stock 2.2.1 rom with root permissions added...
Or you could get widgets with the same functionality on the market for free, and sign up for the swype beta. Seriously, a ROM free of bloatware and manufacturer's framework overhead is worth it (IMHO).

Reason is u have done a hard reset after S-OFF. Now don't run an RUU (= exe file)
I think u have installed custom recovery. If not, do it first. Follow this guide to install it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
After installing custom recovery, just install a custom rom (flash it through custom recovery). U can choose any custom rom. If u want the same stock 2.2.1 then get the safe zip file from this link under section 5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
That link also has many custom roms from which u can select one.
And remember one thing, for gingerbread rom u need a 3.x (or +) custom recovery and for below roms u need a 2.x custom recovery.
Generally when u install custom recovery from the above guide, u will get 3.x recovery.
So, better flash a CM7 rom first (I recommend this at moment for making easier) direct link : http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=buzz (download latest one).
Then make the things clear and then choose any rom u want. GOOD LUCK...!
I also suffered this problem but in a different manner. After installing clock work mod recovery and rooting ....I decided to factory reset my phone(God knows what made me do this). And When It rebooted then 2 things dont work the htc scenes and the setup app. It is not leading to any other problem ( I can live with it) but still I would like to remove this problem.

If u want to use stock froyo, then download the safe zip froyo and install it from clockworkmod 2.x
And if u want cm7 then download it and install.

[And when using 2.2.1 and cwm 3.x then just root it first with above link or any generic method. Then install rom manager and flash 2.x recovery from rom manager. Then reboot to recovery from the rom manager itself. Then u will have that 2.x recovery for that time through which u can flash 2.2 or lower roms.]
edit: Not sure if it solves the issue (may not be). But i think u always had the option to manually add the sense widgets. Or atleast i had.
no it still the same iv think iv tried everything but still don't work
I have same problem too. Plus, there's only english input method available. There are a number of other things missing. I even tried to flash an official wwe ruu, but it doesn't help.
Sent from my wildfire using XDA App
First off all, you cannot undo the s-off by flasing a ruu or something.
Second, I am still on the stock froyo rom and Sense works like normal. I can add widgets just like normal. I can change themes, again, just like normal really weird that you guys have so much trouble because normally s-off nor the bootloader should affect your rom..
As in the case of the setup wizard: i've tried to fiend it, but i saw it nowhere. So i have no idea where to start it to see if it still works.
As if for the people having an english wwe rom: try installing an old ruu (android eclair) and check for an ota update. I believe that installing that update will give you your custom language back, altough I'm not sure (never tried it).
Erwin
I will tell my experiences too.
Just after the s-off, I installed cwm recovery 3.x and made a nandroid backup. Then made a hard reset and switched on the phone. Yes it wont ask the initial setup and only displays the english language. I agree here. Then when phone booted fully, I noticed the sense widgets are not displayed by default. But I can add every htc widget manually all the time. And setup will be present in app drawer menu. But opening it will not open the setup and does nothing. Even I can integrate the accounts from settings menu. Another thing I noticed is my mobile internet access points are missing. Of course I can configure them manually.
Then I flashed the wildpuzzle rom v8.0.11. It worked without a hitch. It prompts for the initial setup and displays the sense widgets. Then I made little thing. That is without wiping the data, I flashed the safe zip (here indian froyo one). Now it works. No bootloop. It even retained the wildpuzzle apps.
So for me it never took away the access to sense Widgets (I can always access them by even manually adding them). But with others I don't know why it is eating away the sense widgets.
i can add them manually all widgets work but what i was saying i have a backup restoring it it all works apart from the htc settings but if i hard reset the the widgets are not there by default also htc wizard htc wallpapers no longer work i tried down grading to 2.1 the same thing happens i tried the safe.zip rom the same thing again
what i was asking is why s-off stops part of the sense working e.g:- htc wizard htc wallpapers and the widgets are there by default?
it's alpharev hboot problem. you need revert back to stock hboot and make a factory reset
I have found a way to fix it so both HTC wallpapers and HTC settings wizard and all widgets are on by default even after hard reset
how could you fix?
Ill upload a fix later for you all but i tell you no that you will have to hard reset and flash the fix over the top of your 2.2.1

And i also forgot to say this fix will work on all 2.2.1 roms even custom 2.2.1 roms for people like me that cant live without sense
