Hi all,
I have read around the forum that once you flash a new ROM to your phone that all your apps will be automatically reloaded? (assuming you log into your Google account and you don't begin downloading apps as soon it reboots after the flash)
Is this true? I have never waited after a flash for the apps to "auto re-install" ... I just begin re-installing my apps straight after a flash, but it this necessary? It would be great if it's not, as re-installing everything everytime is very time consuming!
I am running CM 5.0.8, and I want to upgrade to CM 6.0 once Cyanogen releases it... (Thanks Cyanogen!!!! ) Assuming my understanding it correct, the apps should all auto re-install after I do a wipe and upgrade to CM 6.0 yes?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Ross

Oye this isn't good, after some flashing and backups, my Market Application actually disappeared on my phone and it says it is not installed. I am not sure how to get it back as I already used 2 of my previous Backups. Hope someone has a clue.

did you flash the htc recovery image before you flashed cyanogen?
Yes I did, I had Market, I did a specific market dalvik-cache wipe from Cyanogen's troubleshoot page on his wiki. I guess my phone didn't register that until I did a backup (w. ext) and now it disappeared.
I had this same exact issue with my gmail apk it was gone ! I update cyan rom but when I updg I notice gmail apk went missing I asked help all said wipe and flash again I had no success tried pretty much everything I even used dreaimg got it back and update back to cyan rom latest at the time. And still had no hope so I switch roms went to dwangs then from there superD and all was back to normal
I fixed it with a wipe, flash the defanged base, then newest cyan ROM. Problem solved =]

You need to do a wipe and just flash CM. Then boot up, skip the initial google account setup bit and go to market, now sign in and accept terms.
Once thats done, you should be able to restore your nandroid or whatever and be good to go.
Basically accessing the market from froyo seems to set some kind of flags on your account so when you go back to pre-froyo, the market bugs out. Re-accesing it from a clean 2.1 rom resets those flags and you are then fine.

Hello,
I got an NC recently from a friend who had already rooted and installed CM7 nightly version.
I want to remove all data and application and install a fresh CM7 stable version. I would like to know how I should go about achieving that. I've read a little about updating to new version and flashing back to clean stock ROM. should I flash back to stock ROM and re-root the device and install CM7 stable version or update? and if so which method should I use?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I would just follow this link and install fresh. This ROM seems very stable and darned fast for me that is!

A fresh install will allow you to learn and ensure previous data is gone....Enjoy!

If I proceed with this, I wouldn't be able to flash back to stock ROM? would that be an issue in the future? and how is the battery usage while running phiremod v6?
Thanks for the quick reply!

I've been doing nothing but updates since nightly 30 and my nook runs great.
If you want to do a fresh install, just boot into CWR and wipe the /system /data and /cache partitions before installing CM7.
It's not necessary to return to stock unless you mangled your boot partition somehow (or wiped it by accident like I did lol).
After having used cm7 why in the world would you want to use stock?? Unless of course you wanted to return the nc for some reason, then yeah you need to go back to stock.
I've had several tablets and for the money you can't beat the nc, especially running cm7. If I had unlimited funds I'm sure I could find something better, but really I'm rather in love with this device even compared to tablets cosing twice as much.

Since the last update I can no longer install endomondo sports tracker on my htc hero.
Are there people with the same problem?
And even better, is there anyone who knows a solution for this? I realy love the app.
Thanks,
Jerodev
It probably requires android 2.2 or 2.3 as minimum version. And as i remember the last update for hero was 2.1. So i recommend root your phone and install CM7

Did you wiped data when you flashed those roms ?

Yes, I did a factory wipe every time.
I didn't do the cache wipe though, is this a problem?
No, when you wipe data it wipes cache as well
Sorry for the bump, but I would realy appreciate it if someone could help me.
Hey guys, I'm having a problem
Sorry if I'm posting this in a wrong area
Well, I'm using CyanogenMod 7.2.0 stable by Kabaldan for Milestone A853. Then I tried to install CyanogenMod 9 Nightly (from Skrilax build bot), the latest version. Everything was going well, then when I tried to boot, a screen about "Android is updating applications" appeared, and then after updating, the phone hard rebooted, back to the M logo. Then I left it booting again, and it rebooted again, though this time the update screen didn't appeared. Sometimes I get the first screen to appear, but I can't even touch the phone because it reboots before I try to do so. I tried installing CyanogenMod 10 (Skrilax nightly build bot again) and the same error happened! What is happening to my phone? I've never found anyone with this problem
Please help me! Thanks.
Did you perform a full wipe before applying CM9/10?

If by full wipe you mean the three wipe options in OpenRecovery (Dalvik, Data and Cache) then yes. I even deleted the /system folder and nothing!
UPDATE: I tried to install CM10, removed system, data and cache through ADB and dalvik cache, installed CM10 and gapps. When booting, the first screen asking for language rapidly appears, and reboots. I tried to boot again, then I rapidly touched the screen when the screen appeared, and it didn't reboot! Well, that's better, but CM10 is too lagged for daily use, that's why I want to install CM9!
I'm using CM10 from couple of days..
I get enough RAM to run apps that I daily use...check for unwanted apps that are not being used, disable it through hwa setting app. Just use it for a day .. IMO CM10 is better than CM9.
BTW I removed gtalk, maps, email, exchange service and other unwanted apps from OR...which I don't use at all..

If nothing solves your problem, you should reflash the SBFs and start all over again. I had to do this sometimes. Formatting the SDCard (after backing-up your personal data) also helps to prevent this from ocurring.
Well, never mind, I was robbed saturday. Thanks for the help folks
Sad! But it's a chance to get a better phone. Good luck!

and BPSW for 2.1.1 is needed? or optional?
It's optional.
You only have to wipe data,dalvik-cache and data (you will lose all your information, so backup everything) and to create an ext partition on your sdcard.

yeah I know, I read the dev thread but can't make replies there. I am now on CM10 from 09/24 (last 4.1.1) and considering about CM10 4.2 but I was little bit confused about BPSW. And will there be problem If I will uprgade from 2.2? Because I don't have nandroid backup of 2.1
(FYI, the current CM10 is based on Android 4.1.2.
4.2 will be the next version of Android and probably CM11 will be based on it.)
Anyway, i upgraded from 2.2 to 4.0.4 and then to 4.1.1 and now 4.1.2.
I believe you can upgrade from 2.2 to 4.1.2 without any problem.
(but always make a nandroid before upgrading)
Yes, it's perfectly possible upgrade from 2.2 Stock ROM, although it's more difficult to root it.
I did it without any problems.
Is there any difference between upgrading from 2.1 or from 2.2?

Yeah, sorry for that mistake, my fault. I upgraded from 2.2 to 4.0.4 and now I have 4.1.1. I tried to upgrade to 4.1.2 from 4.1.1 but it was laggy (10/16 and 10/17) so I restore it back to 4.1.1 which is pretty stable and I will wait to better time for this upgrade, because it is my main phone and my boss is upset when I am not available when he calls me

I've read somewhere, that one must upgrade to 2.2 because upgrading from 2.1 will cause problem with some hardware module.

Kabaldan is working on it. It seems, if the CPU's clockspeed is under 600MHz, then something is wrong with the GPU performance. (So you should consider using Performance CPU governor.)

I know that someone wrote it in dev thread for CM9 or CM10, but my battery is pretty weak, I am glad that with Juice defender it lasts for 12 hours and Performance governor is pretty aggressive to battery drain. Anyway thanks for answering my nooby questions
