http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238959
How can i upgrade my sense version to 2.1 or 3.0 or above?
please help - i do not want to wipe any data if i can avoid it

If you're rooted then here's a 2.1 with some 3.0 features. I personally use it and its phenomenal.
If you aren't rooted though..you cannot update your sense software without buying a new device. That's why many people root in order to take control of their phone.

Here's a full 3.0 ROM. Try them out.. FULL WIPE is required in order to flash both of them. Use titanium backup to save your data. It's a lame process but whatever its worth it.

You will have to flash a custom ROM. Are you rooted? Because you will have to be rooted and have a custom recovery. Then you can flash a custom ROM with the newer Sense versions.
You can retain apps and data with Titanium Backup

Root then you can go all the way to 3.5 if you wanna .. which to me is the smoothest running of the sence roms 3.0 does not really like our evos LOL

[Q] Titanium Backup

I plan on installing the Gingerbread Custom Rom on my rooted Samsung Epic 4G with DK28 leak.
But, I want to know, when using Titanium Backup, I don't know exactly what things I have to backup to keep all my information and applications. (Well, I know how to backup the apps, but which keep all my information)
Could someone possibly give me a list of what to backup? Thanks!
Also, do you wipe three times in a row in cwm?
And after I wipe, do I have to reinstall Titanium Backup to restore?

Rom Manager Premium

Asked this question before but nobody answered. When using Rom Manager Premium and doing a "backup of current rom", am I to do this, then try another rom and if I do not like the new rom, do a restore backup and everything will come back just as if I had not tried the new rom at all? I mean everything. I use titanium backup pro, but it's still such a pain in the A to get everything back up and running again. I am running Trigger 3.3 beta right now and really am liking this rom and have it pretty much set up just as I want it now. Cannot see how another rom can be as good as this one, but it would be nice to try them out, and come right back when I need to without the hassles. Thanks.
So ur question is? Should u use restore backup on rom manager premium.. I do
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
No. My question is, can rom manager premium put everything back like it was using restore, after a rom is wiped to try a new one, without even messing with the hassles of using titanium bacup pro.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Yes, with the exception of your kernel. It cannot restore that.

Im glad someone asked this question! I thought the same thing which is why I stayed with trigger, but 1 question what if I have trigger 3.0.1 and want to try a GB rom then come back is it possible with rom manager?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
gingerbread and froyo are two different monsters! so no u couldnt but any froyo rom u can!
Well, you can get it back, it's just more work, but getting to GB is more work anyway right?
Couldn't you Odin a froyo stock rom with kernal/modem, then flash the custom froyo rom again, download rom manager, put the RM backup you kept on your computer into the RM folder and then restore the previous settings?
I'm interested to hear if others have done this. I want to try a GB rom, but I like to move around a lot and Froyo roms seem like the way to go if you have an itchy flashing finger.

There are also apps you can use to freeze preloaded/bloatware if root is obtained first.

Senselx ROM question

If I want to update to the 3.2 version can I just flash the ROM? I'm running on the 3.1 MTD version, I don't have to wipe anything, of delete my ext partitions? I also don't have to use that FR remove thing to get rid of the MTD?
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
You shouldn't have to wipe anything.
and the only time you need to flash fr-remove is when you want to remorse custom mtd. (Such as changing roms. Or if you wanted to use the no-mtd version.)
I felt like I needed a signature.... here it is
Ah okay so its alright if I just flash the 3.2 version? I won't lose my data or anything?

Yep. You should probably make a backup first tho.

BTW how come there is no YouTube?
also, I tried to flash the non-MTD version onto my brother's phone, but it gets stuck on the myTouch 3g green screen, do I need an ext partition to do the the non-MTD version?

I have never had that issue. Hmm. What do you wipe before you flash a ROM?

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.

Thanks for the link so what would be a good rom to work with this apk? i figure it wont work on any 3.5 sense roms as no ones been able to resolve the problem towards the flash and camera on those roms, if im correct?
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.

Alright, so I just installed virtuous unity and loved the ROM but camera did not work with flash so I tried to flash the double shot camera and still same issue I guess my question now, since I can't seem to get my camera to function properly on sense 3.5 or 3.0 roms, what ROM if any would anybody suggest. I want something fast and smooth, any help would be greatly appreciated, thankyou

I don't know why, but I think it's a kernel thing. This happens to me too, until I flash tdj sense kernel and it's fine. Others have reported this helping as well

I am using the stock camera found in this thread and flash is working fine
