Hi,
I just received my phone back after warranty repairs (bad SPL flash).
Installed Recovery 1.4, then 4.2.8, and no auto-rotate.
4.2.8.1 - no auto-rotate.
4.2.9.1 - still no auto-rotate.
I have tried toggling the various settings (Orientation in Sound & Display, and Launcher Rotate in Spare Parts). Nothing seems to be working.
I have tried fix permissions, a couple of guides, the fix_rotate.sh guide seemed like it would work, but, alas, didn't.
I know the phone realises what it should be doing, because if I open the screen, then close it, it stays landscape. The only way to get it back to portrait is to turn the screen off (not the whole phone), and then hit menu to get back into the phone.
Also, it is not the accelerometer, because PapiJump (Good ol' accelerometer tester) still plays perfectly, if not slightly more touchy then before the repair.
First install to 4.2.8, and install to 4.2.8.1 were without wipe.
Every (re-)install I have done of 4.2.9.1 has been with a wipe, both typing wipe into the console, and using Alt + W.
I have A2SD running (course I do, it's CM =). I can't remember the exact sizing of my partitions, but I can check on them if anyone thinks they would make a difference.
Other than that, everything is stock. Haven't changed radio, or SPL.
(When I say stock, I mean from CM 4.2.9.1)
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help me out.
=)

I have the same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609128
try to wipe and reflash from the beginning with the HTC recovery
Hi Tazz9690
I just reflash my HTC Dream with these two files :
* Signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip
* Update-cm-4.2.11.1-signed.zip
I went through the recovery cyanogen 1.4 and I did a "wipe data" and then "apply any zip from sd"
Unfortunately, I still have the same problem, unable to use the Accelerometer or Orientation
have you tried flashing a different from from another dev and seeing if you have the same problem?
try flashing the latest amon ra recovery. under the wipe menu there's an option for wiping the rotate settings. perhaps that may help?
hey,
Got Amon_RA's recovery. Love it.
Didn't solve anything, though.
Still stuck.
Market hangs too, but this isn't a CM issue.
See if it's enabled in spare parts, if not - enable it, if it is - toggle off and on.
Good luck.

try rebooting before you install the theme.
Make sure the theme is compatible with the version of cyanogenmod. Different version of cyanogen require different versions of the theme.
Next time this happens do post a logcat, at it will be much easier to pinpoint the issue. Both of the above posts hint towards two very common causes of the black screen. Try what they suggested, and run a logcat while the phone is booting: Plug the phone into the computer, and assuming you have adb installed, enter the following into your phones terminal
Code:
adb logcat

my friend, the boy who made this theme, tried it on his phone and it works perfectly!! (same thing happens with other themes)
i've tried also rebooting before i install the theme.. nothing changed
@cloverdale: ok im trying logcat, 1st with cyano and a 2nd with theme installed..
edit: i dont know why but after reinstalling the theme the phone doesnt start.. i've tried 3times.. the funny thing is that when i do fix_permissions there arent any errors.. insted i know that it must return some errors message like no such file or directory.. it doesnt happen..
yesterday when i tried it, i red this error and now no.. bha.. :/
guys i've installed the new cyano, 4.2.13 ..
im sorry but i cant upload file bigger than 19 kb.. so i should write it here..
but the text is too long so i cant..
when cyano starts normally i can see the desktop..
when i install every themes, i cant see the desktop -.-
yesterday, with old cyano (4.2.12.2), i tried to replace:
mms.apk contacts.apk launcher.apk phone.apk settings.apk HTC_ime.apk alarmclock.apk camera.apk music.apk
after rebooting there was that problem.. NO DESKTOP!!..
please help me i cant install any theme and i dont know why..
i've also tried to reinstall android 1.6 then cyano.. i still have changed the recovery from cyano to 'RA..
are you using a update.zip theme or metamorph? try wipe
i dont use metamorph, just put my zip in root of sd, then "apply any zip from sd".. i used cyano's recovery and amon ra.
yes i wipe.. everything!! also the dalvik cache.. reinstalled android 1.6 yet!
i think is fix_permission that doesnt work.. 'cos if i replace phone.apk and others with the one of the themes..
black screen!
but i use advanced launcher (the one black) and alarmclock of other themes and i havent any problem..
up..
does anybody know how to solve??
i was reading this:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=604294&page=1
the trouble is the same but he solved changing rom.. i dont want leave cyanogen's rom
Try this (This works for me when I'm having trouble):
Whenever you flash anything, boot into it, then reboot.
So flash CyanogenMOD, boot into it (meaning choose Reboot in recovery), everything looks good? reboot.
flash w/e theme you want, boot into it, if everything's fine, reboot.
flash stericson lock screen (if you want), boot, reboot.. etc etc.
So you flash your zips sequentially (ROM, then theme, then ALauncher/Stericson Lock), with a Reboot from Recovery between flashes.
You get the point. Hope this helps.

errr.. lol. You don't wipe after flashing cyanogenMOD successfully. After it boots correctly, and you're happy, you go back to the Recovery mode, and you flash the theme OVER cyanogenMOD without wiping (you already wiped once to flash cyanogenMOD, you don't wipe again to install a theme).

i did it without wipe too .. im going to try another theme.. hoping it works..

thank u guy, i'm gonna go to install other themes without wipe
guys im so happy!!!!
i've tried MarksTheme and it works!!!!! loool
i've done it without wipe just like KratosAurion told me!!
thank youuuu!!!
ps, i will try again with other themes
Great, glad you're having fun . Don't forget to check out the Dark Star theme, it's win .
Author of Enoch here,
Just wanted to point out that there are a number of users having problems with this in my thread. Some have been using it for a while - but from what I can see here, it extends to other themes as well. From looking at the logcats I've been sent, it seems either a PUID mismatch issue, or a permissions issue.
However, a few users have tried that to no avail. Many other users seem to be able to install the theme with no problem, but a select few get this exact error. Something is not letting home load at all.
Everybody says this app is great but every time I try to do anything with it, it reboots my phone to a green progress bar but before it finished it switches to a picture of a phone with a red question mark on it....am I doing something wrong? I wrote the devs with no response

Have you flashed the engineering rom? You need to do that.
Oh ok....I didn't know you had to flash that for it to work thanx so much for the help...they should tell you that on the app

ROM Manager is for every device that can run clockworkmod recovery, not just the slide. The slide is the only one that can't get a recovery to stick as far as I am aware, so there's no reason for them to include a warning in an app used by tons of devices when only one of them has the issue.
True...didn't look at it that way
~ SykosouL~ d-_-b
I have a stupid ROM Manager question... I remember trying to use a while back and hit a snag. When you open it, it first wants you to install Clockwork Recovery, and of course we cant make ours stick. When I tried this a while back, I remember it breaking my recovery and took some fiddling to fix it. Should I let it run this option, so I can then use it to manage my ROMs?

It now has a recovery for the slide and it works great. It is the only I use to get in recovery.
So to be clear, I can use the Install CWR option from ROM Manager? I cannot do anything else in ROM manager without it wanting to "install" it.
on mine it is the first option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery", pop-up will show up and it only has the choice of "MyTouch Slide" after tapping that you are good-to-go for rebooting into recovery and flashing ROM's
Yeah I went ahead and did it. I get a lot of Superuser FCs still with it. I even hit the Fix Permissions, which says may fix FCs, and it FCs on me
that's odd I am running it on both of our phones without issue, didn't even have any issues running dumfuq's experimental dopio 960 oc kernel.
I see what happened. Cyans latest ROM comes with a different/newer SU app. When Rom Manager flashed recovery, it downgraded SU. I just grabbed the SU out of the latest CM6 ROM and pushed it to system in recovery and all is good. Running Fix Permissions now to see if it stops the FC I get on some uploader service upon each boot.
oh I forgot, unless you have already figured it out, the power button is NOT used for selecting in cwm anymore... volume still does "up" and "down", track-pad is now "select" and the back button works as "back page"
hopefully all is good.
So, Rom Manager can get you directly to Clockworkmod?
I just got a new Slide, rooted it, and immediately flashed the ENG build.
I then flashed MyFroYo6 with Rom Manager. No dice. What the hell am I doing wrong?
Hello guys, as you can see I have an HP Touchpad running CyanogenMod9 with 12/23 Nightly build.
I was modifying the build.prop to make it look like that of a Nexus 7. Of course, I made a copy of the original build.prop and put it in the sdcard. When I wanted to revert to the original copy, I couldn't find it. Stupidly, I deleted the new build.prop and rebooted the device. It went to bootloader, I chose cyanogenmod and there were no boot animations and the screen froze to a blank, black screen. I also deleted my nandroid backup (stupid mistake.) Can you guys please help me? I can't turn it off, I would just have to let the battery drain.
Thanks, SidaJeremy
See if you can push it through adb. I know you can get to adb access from cwm. Another choice is to boot into webos and do things from there. Also, you can reboot it by holding the power button and center button for a while.

Hold the Home and Power buttons to force close, takes 10/20 seconds .
Check your pm.

Hey, Thanks guys, figured it out myself.
I didn't need to copy a build.prop or use ACMEUninstaller or ACMEinstaller. I only needed to flash the latest nightly build and rebooted to CyanogenMod 9. No blank screens whatsoever. So if some stumbles upon a similar problem on any device, tell them this. Thanks.
Cheers, SidaJeremy

Hello,
Lately, I wanted to try this new version of Cyanogemod on my HTC Incredible Shttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2519414. Everything went well, but I noticed I didn't have access to my Sim contacts, there wasn't Google play installed. I did my research and found the solution, I need to install Gapps. I followed the instructions onhttp://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps, but the system can't open the file. Now I don't want to use this Rom anymore, and want to use another Rom. But, here's another problem. To install Cyanogenmod, I used 4EXT Recovery, and in order to do it I restarted my phone by choosing Recovery mode when I pressed the switch off button. When I tried to do the same procedure, the system don't give the choice ans restart automatically. I try to install it on my phone, but it is only available on Google Play, which I can't install.
I don't what to do. Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad English.

You aren't supposed to be opening the file. You're supposed to flash the GApps file in recovery just like how you flashed the ROM through recovery as well. Same process.
TO enable advanced reboot or something like that, go to "About phone" in settings. Then go to build number (should be the very bottom or close to the bottom) and click it 7 times to enable developer options. Enter developer options (this will appear int he regular setting menu once you click back) and click enable advanced reboot.
Just for future knowledge, it is important to know how to get into bootloader when the phone is off. This is done by pressing volume down+ power button at the same time. Then, by using volume key, scroll to recovery and press power button. That is the manual way of entering recovery
