Did you wipe the cache and dalvik cache prior to installing this ROM.
I figured it out. Titanium backup was the culprit. I guess im not supposed to restore system with titanium.

naw, that's not recommend.
When you are upgrading from one ROM to the next ROM, with in the same family. Meaning like from CM7N13 > CM7N14 all you need to do is wipe the cache and Dalvik Cache then flash the ROM.
glad you got it hammered out none the less.

Restore =user apps= with Titanium Backup. If you have not yet synced with Google, just select the batch restore of uninstalled apps. If you've already synced with Google and had your Market apps sync, batch restore of User apps data.
For system apps, you've got to be judicious in your restores, because TB makes little distinction between some OS provision settings and applications that happen to be installed in /system. Just because something is green does not mean you can safely restore it.
Reportedly safe system stuff to restore via TB:
Alarm clock settings, Browser bookmarks, Email, SMS/MMS data, and ADW Launcher. I've done most of these. I find that ADW Launcher restores via TB require me to reset my widgets, which takes a minute. ADW has its own backup and restore, of course, if you prefer it.

Contacts - Should always save them as "Google contact" so they automatically go into your contact list after logging in on your phone.
Messages - Go into market and search "SMS Backup" back it up then once you install your new ROM, download the same app again and restore it.
Apps - Use Titanium Backup to back up the apps. Then install it again after flashing and restore the apps.

Sure is. The simplest way is to make a backup with Clockwork recovery before you install the new rom and do wipe of data/factory reset, and all caches etc...
Once you have flashed the new rom, while still in Clockwork, goto Backup/Restore, choose Advanced, choose the backup you just made, and select only Data from the list. Everything you've asked for should be restored. Some widgets will not work on the first boot, you will have remove them from the home screen and re-add them.
Some apps will behave as if it's the first time you have run them, be aware of this.
This method makes for the simplest method of restoring everything that gets wiped when you install a rom that requires a full wipe of data + factory reset.
cool thanks, I got both methods done. gonna try to flash now. thanks

Does the backed up old data integer with a new rom/kernel though? I've been tempted to do this, but I'm worried that the data will conflict and cause issues.

Indeed, this method saves a lot of time.
I've had no issues using it, aside from widgets not working, until you re-add them to a home screen.

"Integer"? Did you mean integrate? or perhaps interfere?
I haven't had any issues using this method. I'd imagine any conflicts would be overwritten by the nature of restoring /data. If a rom author includes some .apks inside of /data, those will get over written. It's very easy to add them back though, just strip them from the roms zip, and copy over to the phone, then install.
I find this much easier than using Titanium Backup or some other app to restore apps and settings lost due to installing a rom.

While that seems to be perfect as far as restoring (and it does restore everything.) I seem to be having a problem with it once I run my rom, I'm having issues with sms locking up and the phone not coming out of sleep. I'm using Epic Exp 1.2.02 and Phoenix 1.43.
I've reloaded and restored date 3 diff times and still no luck..

Are you using SetCPU, while also having it set to something other Conservative mode? Try keeping it set to conservative. Also, SetCPU doesn't play nice with the Epic if you use a "Screen Off" profile. I don't have a solution other than to not use a Screen Off profile in SetCPU.
Boot recovery. Wipe data cache and dalvik (unless your rom requires somthing different) flash your rom/kernel. Reboot your phone and test. Determine whether the issue is with the rom/kernel or with the data restore. If the issue is the rom, head over to the rom's thread for support. If its not the rom boot into clockwork and try to restore data again. Maybe do an advanced restore?

Thanks dever76 for that tip, I now can switch to nightly builds on my Nexus. I appreciate it!
I am running rubiX Focused 1.9 and I tried installing the new Tron theme.
I ended up not really liking it so I tried installing black juice blue back over it. However, the system apps were themed with Tron and now they are still Tron themed with black juice blue installed. I don't like the way this looks so id like to try to perform a nandroid restore.
The only problem is i've never done this before. Should I wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition before I restore? Do I have to mess with anything in the mounts and storage menu?
I really appreciate any advice/help from people who have experience with restoring nandroids!
Thanks!
I never wipe anything when restoring a backup and have never had a problem. I just go into recovery, restore, reboot.

Like "Zwade01" Said.... I Don't Really Wipe Everything Everytime Either....(Although It Wouldn't Hurt) You Can Basically Just Restore!!
You Don't Have To Mess With The Mount Menu... Just Go To Nandroid And Select Your Backup, And Confirm!!!
Unless You Have A Issue With Memory Or Your Phone Lagging.....
I Wouldn't Bother!!

Hi there!
Today I noticed there were some new widgets and updates. I started to download them on Wifi in my home.
And then I gotta leave my home. When I left Wifi connection disconnected and updates stopped. After few hours my battery depleted so my phone shut down.
When I come to home I charged it and turned Wifi on. When I looked on get HTC widgets tab There was "Installing" labels next to some of the widgets but they weren't installing actually.
I waited for 15mins -enough time to install Win7 on my phone - but they didnt got installed. I got into manage apps. on settings and uninstalled all the HTC widgets. Restarted the phone three times. Nothing changed.
Any advices?
I decided to recovery but have some questions about recovery.
Will it roll the rom back to 2.1?
What will it erase? Apps, contacts, messages? What kind of settings will it reset? Ringtones, home layout and wallpapers?
Regards.

Try clearing Dalvik Cache and also Format Cache in Clockworkmod. What do you mean by recovery? Nandroid? It is a 1:1 backup of whenever you made it. Or factory reset? Regardless, yes you will loose sms and contacts and etc so backup with HTC sync first.

Update2: I figured something and cleared Dalvik Cache but nonhing changed.
Update3: Performed a factory reset and solved thanks again jonusc for your attention
I've been flashing ROMs for a while. Tried many different kernels of coarse that are compatible with the ROM, and as far as I know I've been doing it the way it should be done. However, one thing I haven't tried is restoring the progress/saves/data of my apps. I gave it some thought and figured this should be possible and I just haven't looked into it. I hope it is, I am now 3weeks into the same ROM and I want to update already but I don't want to loose my progress. If it is possible could someone help me or point me in a direction where I can get help. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

If your switching roms completely I would recommend titanium backup. With that you can backup apps and app data. If you are simply upgrading the same rom, just wipe cache partition and dalvik cache then flash. All your apps and data stay. Just the updatetd files are plugged into the rom.
As far as your suggested method, I have no idea. Never really tried or looked into anything else. I guess it never really was necessary.
^ I may be making this more complicated then it already is but if I were to switch to titanium backup would i have to switch to AmonRA recovery since I already have clockworkmod recovery with ROMmanager? Also If I may want to try a different ROM other than the update, is there another route besides titanium backup (assuming I would have to switch to amonRA). I ask this because I've looked through the SD folders and found a folder called Android that had some apps in it, I'm wondering if there is a folder such as this I can copy and restore if I were to Switch ROMs?
titanium backup is just an app. it has nothing to do with recovery, so no, you dont have to switch recoveries
Mybackup root is also another free alternative app.
Titanium Backup saves all the app/data information onto your SD card, that way when you flash another rom you have to download the app again and you could reinstall just the app, or app with user data.

Titanium Backup is a lifesaver. Before I flash a new ROM, I make sure my app backups are straight, then after flashing the ROM, all I have to do is go to the Market, redownload Titanium Backup, then restore all my apps. It allows me to change ROMs in an afternoon and be using my phone that night like any night before. Buy the full version, because you need it to restore apps in one big batch operation.

What's going on guys? I've had my Play for a while and for the most part I love it...def could be faster but thats ok.
So, the problem. I'm rooted, but stock rom and kernel. I was using go launcher, go sms and have alot of apps, a 32gb sd card thats almost full. I installed go locker a couple nights ago and it was running great. Then, the next day, I have no clue if it relates to go locker...but now my phone is like on life support or something!
75% of apps force close upon opening, the phone is deathly slow if it doesnt close...like I'll open up "settings" and it will either FC or take 2 minutes to load up...then it loads and I click something and it FCs. SOMETIMES an app will open fine, play fine. Like muffin knight, sometimes it opens and plays 100%. other times it instantly FCs over and over. Every single app no matter how complex is subject to the same problems in the same way.
I honestly have no clue wtf is wrong. It feels analgous to a computer virus. Everything is bogged and broken. I tried cleaning my phone. I uninstalled every launcher and theme app, and then uninstalled about a dozen apps I dont use alot. I left mself with the bare minumum....Id then open the "messaging" app and it would crawl open to greet me with a force close. It doesnt seem to be a problem with any specific app.
I checked battery use....very normal stuff. I don't know whats going on!! but my phone barely works....someone will call and it will take 10 seconds for me to be able to slide the slider and accept the call...
Anyone have any direction for me? I don't want to flash any kernels or roms yet (waiting for 100% stability) and I'm busy right now w tests and I just want my phone back to how it was a few days ago. I'm using adw launcher now and its the same as with the go launcher or without anything....slow, force closes everywhere, hang ups everywhere...
thanks SO much for any help from anybody...I really appreciate it.

r800x, unlocked bootloader through hardfix with Alejandrissimo....and most current Verizon firmware so 2.3.4 (right?)
since I rooted it I haven't messed it with it much, just took the liberty of using apps like root explorer and stuff

If you have CWR installed I'd try to wipe the cache and dalvik cache. I've had weird things like that happen and wiping them fixes it.

I don't think I do....I'm really noob when it comes to the in depth rooting stuff but I don't even think I have a nandroid backup...
I can boot to that orange screen and I did save my state when I initially rooted...
How do I clear the caches for that stuff? Davlik, can that be done thru titanium backup?
and what about the other cache? How do I see if I have clockword recovery? (I never intentionally installed it so I don't think I have it?)
Okay so I wiped the davlik cache (like 24mb) thru titanium backup....and then I reinstalled the market (one of the more troublesome apps to open)...and then rebooted.
Tried opening a few apps in succession upon boot, and for the first time ever the phone froze and rebooted itself!
What the hell is going on?? Lol my phone was fine a few days ago and now its just insufferable!!
Any more ideas as to whats going on?
I never dled clockwork mod so I don't think I can wipe that cache?
Deleting dalvik-cache via Titanium Backup only deletes "unneeded" caches. You need to delete every dalvik-cache by going into data/dalvik-cache and deleting every file in it. Then reboot, which will rebuild the caches (first boot will take a while)

I deleted every file in the davlik cache folder...rebooted.
No change. Takes 10 seconds to open the phone...everything is slow/force closing.
Sigh. My phone is possessed and/or dying.
Then I suggest backing up your user-apps (if still possible) and doing a factory reset
Do a nandroid backup, then factory reset. Then install apps one by one testing for stability after each. If an app is causing problems that will identify it. Or provide us with a list of your apps and we could help determine if one of them may be the culprit.

I assume you paid to unlock the bootloader (reset does nothing to this). Root is much more easily obtained

It won't. factory rest doesn't wrote the system partition where root is located.
Factory reset.
Please dont be scared of losing root, just use the search bar and type in doomlord zergrush. His script has to be the easiest most automated way to get root on any xeria firmware ever
