I went from Enom's rom to the new bundle one (sorry I'm not good with names) anyways, I forgot to backup my apps but when I flashed the rom I got a pop up message saying ALL APPS restores and they were all there. Was program caused that to happen?
Will it be Google backup?

Yes, blew me away when it first happened too... but don't expect it to work every time.
The option is in Settings | Privacy
Wrong forum BTW... Q&A.

Sorry to post such a stupid question here. I'm really new in this field and I had read many of the faqs but could really find this info. Does flashing new roms delete all other data such as contacts, photos, music etc? I do know some rom might delete the entire system including the settings and apps, but I wish some people here could confirm my question. Thanks and sorry again for this stupid question.
Do you know what xda, forums,threads, sub-forums,search option, pm,etc etc is?
Depending on how the ROM was made, example Doc's rom starting from version 5 can do an update w/o deleting anything.

Thats a bit harsh its only their 1st post.
Contacts are saved via your google account so when you sign back in they are resync'd with your phone and gallery pics wont be wiped unless you format internal SD card.

I've been searching for hours, including google etc. As I couldn't find any direct answers in regards to my question mark, so I figured perhaps I could post it here to get some replies. And besides, I didn't know anyone here for me to pm. So I posted this. If it offends you, I'm sorry.

Does asking a question in right section hurt?
i have no clue where to post this and have searched, so....... Q & A seems like to place to start. i just flashed this rom from dead stock. seems like most apps i try to use on my captivate now get a FC. not with a notification but a series of buzzes. on Super one click root it says im rooted. i did have to enter SU and tell it to allow setcpu but now things like titanium backup i get a blank screen and then a series of buzzes and it exits that app.
please help me or slap me in the right direction.

You can post questions in the the Andromeda thread in the developers section. It sounds like you got a bad flash. I'd suggest using ondin to go back to stock, do a master clear, then reinstall 2.0. I've yet to see anyone have this many problems with Andromeda so it's bound to be a bad flash.

where to begin?
sounds like the first problem is you tried to root this rom...its already rooted. secondly, setcpu is a bad idea on a kernel that doesnt support overclocking or undervolting. sounds like you need to reflash and DONT restore ALL data from Tibu. just restore missing apps+data
Ok. I will reflash. As far as the rooting thing. I noticed that SU was already there but something came up that said I wasn't rooted. I tried SICR. And after a bit of fighting it, it said I was already rooted. ...........
BRB!!!!!!

Thanks guys. Got it. Might have been a botched flash or the SICR....... and yes I wish that there wasn't a ban on the 10< post for the dev forum. But again, thanks. I have a new favorite ROM now.
Sent from my ANDROMEDA 2.0 POWERED SGH-I897 using XDA App
Glad you found it. I'm using Andromeda too. It's getting a lot of positive response. I'm looking forward to their update shortly to take care of a few small things.

Hi this is my first post. Im really sorry if Im posting this again and if I am just tell me to delete it and point me to the correct one.
So i want to install the Cyanogen mod 7.1 that was released yesterday onto my HTC incredible s. however since i have only just had it around a month i know very little about android rooting and how to do it.
My question is what guide should i use? is this the cyanogen mod good. i cna tpost it here it wouldnt let me.
if so i know doing so will void my warrenty and so is it like jailbreaking where all you have to do is restore to stock firmware?
Update: installed using this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Incredible_S:_Full_Update_Guide
worked like a charm
thank you very much.

welcome to the forum. just remember, this forum is chock full of great info. when you have a question, more often then not your question has already been asked. always use the search button first to reduce clutter
this phone is one of the easiest phones to root. just head here. voila. that's it.
yes, cm7 is THAT good. definitely worth it. fast and prob the best battery life out of all the roms.
you can always get the phone back to it's original state for warranty purposes. always a good idea to do a backup immediately after you root.
have fun.
ok thank you very much. Does the guide on the CyanogenMod website include how to restore to stock if you have to send your phone in?

i don't think so. that info is, however, readily available in this forum. just do a search
come to think of it, i think all you have to do is revert to the stock rom that you just backed up after rooting. someone please correct me if i'm wrong.
Does anyone also know if the root method for the HTC incredible S is temp? Does that mean you cant turn off your device? I'm confused.

no, it's not temporary. it will stay rooted until you unroot and return the device to stock/original state. why don't you try it out? it will be a good way to familiarize yourself with rooting, backing up, and restoring.
Hearing of the release of CM7 got me finally around of rooting my phone. This forum offers great tutorials and I managed to root is fairly easily. After rooting I was also asked wheter I wanted to flash CWM and I answered yes. Everything went OK and I was able to try CM7 after 30 minutes or so. The most time consuming operation was creating backup with CWM recovery.
But my opinion about CM7 isn't good. While I like the the effects and other neat customisation possibilities 3 thing turn me off.
First, I really love HTC's phone or dialler application which helps me find contacts by entering their number or trying to type their names. This is the single most useful thing invented on a telephone. As CM7 doesn't support that (only enterning numbers as far as I know) I will not use it.
Second, I wasn't able to connect to Exchange server for some reason
Third, Android Market shut itself down after 10 seconds and repeatedly kept doing that.

PS. I would have liked to post this info to developers forums, but as I don't have rights, I couldn't.

The markets fixed by going in to language settings and selecting English again.
Exchange worked fine for me...
Download another dialer application..
I'd choose double the speed, battery life and ram any day over sense
lets not start cm7 vs sense. this thread will never end really, it comes down to individual preference and that's not something we can argue.
cm7 isn't prefect but it's close, imo.
Please recommend a dialer app and I will give it a try Dialer One maybe?
Thanks for the market tip.

sounds good. and there are guides in the dev forum if you need some assurance.
Cannot download anything from the Market for unknown reason. The download bar just scrolls endlessly.
E: Restart helped. Everything seems to be working just fine. Will give an estimate of battery usage in a few days time. And will test out Skype as well.
I feel as though the guides here need to be updated current one is from June. Not complaining just sayin is all.

Yes, they could use some tweaking.

Yeah I think they need updating. From what I can work out the root for the HTC IS is not temp but the guide says it is?

Well I think the HTC incredible S was a temp root but from what I can work out and what you have and others have said it is not. I haven't tried it yet but I'm going to tonight.
I could set default number for my contacts which have more than one number, but each sync my contact with google account or backup my contacts with My backup pro and install new Rom, have to set these default numbers again.
I asked if there are any solution to keep this default numbers Backup also with contact and then restore after installing new Rom?
There was already a recent question exactly like this on this thread!!
Did you use search??
I believe the answer was no there is no way but look at the thread that is already posted, it's less than a week old

I will give it a Look, I hope could just find solution in my Rom or used in any rom.
I assume some rules were broken? Sharing work that wasn't theirs? or something else?
It's a bit frustrating from the point of view that some of us will have flashed this and now have no thread to post support messages or bugs to.. or whether or not any updates are pending etc.
Where has it gone off to?
It was gone right after the update. Big bummer because I just flashed the ROM and wanted to post a message how awesome it is. Really hope it gets restored.

by all means, write here how awesome rom is and what have you learned.. how's battery life? camera? performance? Etc..
If the thread restores you can easily copy your post there..
It is known that some threads are gone after the change to XenForo. They are working on restoring them.
It's back now so enjoy...
