[Q] Flashing SuperBad CM5 V.1.7 Question?

Right now I'm running Cyanogen's 5.0.8 ROM. When flashing to SuperBad CM5 V.1.7 (which is based on CM 5.0.8) do I still need to wipe? If so do I wipe data/factory settings, battery stats, delvik, ext.? I have a theme called Slide Blue (which is made for 5.0.8), will that work as well or is there even a need for it? And finally when I go to Android Spin to look at this ROM to download, it only gives me one link to download, so does that ROM also contain Google Apps? I have only flashed one ROM and Im still a noob in the learning process.

Make a nandroid. Flash without wiping, then fix apk uid mismatches in recovery and then reboot. wait 10-15 minutes.
If it works then congrats. If it doesn't either restore the backup or wipe.

Like I said, I'm still pretty new to this
So I don't understand when you said to fix the apk in recovery?

What is the best Froyo ROM out there?

Ive always been a huge fan of cyanogen but since RC1-2 I get a huge amount of FCs and I feel limited to what I want to do due to the FCs. Seemed to me that RC2 was worse than 1 so I am on 1. This will be the first time I steered away from a cyan rom, so Im asking for some assistance. I just cant understand how messed up cyan roms are now since froyo came out. I get random FCs, I get the from playing music, placing widgets...etc the list goes on. It was worse on RC2, random reboots and more FCs. Im trying to wait it out for a stable version but i cant do it anymore

Sounds like you did not wipe completely to me.

try to wipe ALL then try again. If that doesn't work then you could try LeoFroyo. It is my favourite (if that matters )

i wiped on 1 but not on 2. ill try and wipe now and give it a run, if not ill try the LeoFroyo

I suggest Enomther's, and try to wipe and reinstall CM6-RC2 before switching.

Give rods rom a go its fast stable and looks awesome http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=692609 give it a go....

[Q] froyo or ginger?

I am in dier (sp?) need of a new rom. I'm currently running cyanogen ..dont know what version but its the purple glass one. Lately everything is coming up as errors, my camera doesnt even work 98% of the time, and it takes about 3 minutes just to dial someone.
So question of the day: I was told by someone I consider "superior in phreaker knowledge" that I shouldnt run 2.3 on my phone. Mainly because his is *so much better than mine* but whatever.
I just need a good rom, a FAST one. I am open to suggestions. And if running 2.3 on my hero is stable and fast then I am open to it. preferably something less glitchy.

Try aosp's new gb build

I ran cyanogen 6 for a while, then Jaybobs extblue froyo build for about 6 months. I've had Aosp's gingerbread mod since Feb, and it is by far the best rom I've ever had.

Yep asop 2.3 best rom I have tryed

+800%. The AOSP Froyo build is awesome, but there is nothing like showing off our little Heroes running Gingerbread like a dream. AOSP 2.3 is damn good.

As of the 4/21 build of AOSP, I would highly recommend it as the go-to gingerbread rom. CM7 and Gingersense are all well and good, but nothing has felt quite as snappy as this build (ymmv). It's also a smaller download than the others by a good margin. Not to mention GB includes a built in CPU governor, so you'll no longer need SetCPU. Seriously, just try it out.

ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! ive tried flashing 2.3 3 times now. ive tried re-downloading the file, tried downloading it to the phone and via sugarsync, tried wiping everything and it keeps showing "android" then goes to set up, then back to android, then back to set up. guess im going with 2.2

What all are you wiping before you flash?

followed a guide since it'd been over 6 mns since my last flash. did the factory reset, wiped cache, i think those were the only 2 options it gave me to wipe.

First, if you have the sprint radio that ends in .27, you should upgrade it to .29. Second, if you don't have clockworkmod recovery, get it because it wipes all the correct stuff. Third, go to this site and follow the step by step: http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Sprint_HTC_Hero

Definitely get ClockworkMod set as your recovery. I'm not even using the newest one and it works great. Every time I go to a new rom, I wipe the user data, cache, battery stats, and dalvik cache.

i already use rom manager and clockworkrecovery 2.3 just did NOT want to install correctly on my hero, so I went with asop (sp?) 2.2 and it worked perfectly. I love my hero once again- very fast.

Omg this Tom has been the answer to my battery nightmare. Since flashing, I can go all day without my phone dying (and I use it a LOT!)

[Q] CWM Restores a perfect restore?

I was wondering how perfect of a restore a CWM restore is.
I was running a custom GB ROM (rocket rom to be exact) and it was running flawlessly. I then decided I might try this new CM9 ICS ROM.
So to be sure about the CM9 install, I figure I'd install from a stock GB Rom. So I first did a CWM backup of my current rocket rom and then I restored an older stock (rooted) ROM. It seemed to work fine. Then.... after reading about the (few) issues wit this new CM9 rom I decided I'd wait a bit longer until a few more of the quirks are worked out.
So I then restored back my Rocket rom backup and even doing the flash cache and davik cache also. But now I notice my once working Rocket ROM is experiencing a lot of SODs.
So now I'm wondering how perfect my restore was. I really don't have a lot of apps or wireless networks and can easily restore my contact list. For that reason, do you think it'll help if I do a factory reset wipe and then reinstall everytyhing....or even go so far as reinstall rocket rom and then reinstall everything else manually without any restores...would that be really the best clean install....or would any of this not make a difference at all and wiping/reinstall a toatl waste of time and my prob is actuaully something else....
Thanks

I could do with knowing the answer to these questions too.
It would be good to get a detailed idiots guide to CWM, do's and don't's etc.

Well a clean install will surely get you rid of the SODs. There is some app and its data that is conflicting with the system and crashes the whole phone. So if you are ready to clean install everything that will fix everything

sleep of death, its the device not waking up properly from sleep

Pus it doesnt include efs, so its not complete backup. Handy if yu stay n same rom version, but thats likely not.
Squicky clean install is always best. Even only app and data recovering thought titanium can mess things up. Make it laggy and nonfunctional etc, Blegh

1. Install abyssnote42
2. Factory wipe, cache, dalvik
3. Restore your rocketrom backup
That's what i do with my rocketrom v23 backup
Zapped through server hops to XDA forums

its not perfect but its the best so far
all i can say is that cwm is the best and simple thing for me so far and if u get trouble some times while trying to shift from CM9 to normal ics or from gb to ics all I suggest is use redpill recovery from abbysnote

Yeah, mine does that from the clock on Dragon ICS 2.4 when charging it didn't use to, started since I started Dual Booting. 2.5 is out in the next hour or so according to the Dev page. Hope it fixes an otherwise awesome ROM.. Otherwise it's back to single booting and possibly on to Omega 12 until CheckROM is released..

[Poll] Do you still have call issues after a CLEAN install of CM10?

I see people have less chances to deal with call issues if they install CM10 through the clean way.
Please DON'T vote if you didn't install CM10 "correctly" and DON'T mention another issues here beside network related.

I think everyone has issues with CM10 no matter what....
At least one bug I got all the time: You can't make a video call in gtalk, it gets FC'ed immediately.

he's talking about calling through the cellular network, not gtalk or other issues. Please keep on topic.
I did a clean install of CM10 from the very start and had no call issues. I did experiment with an SU660 baseband before returning to V21b - and that also required a clean install. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.

The problem I see here is what do you consider a clean install? I am not so sure myself.
Is smartflashing a BB then install CM10 clean enough?
I think of my installation as clean because
1) I came from CM7 (Temasek's last kang) after a factory reset.
2) Before that, I came from NVflash of Homero's ROM to recover from a corrupted CM9 leak flash
Since the first Nightly, I didn't have the "no audio in network calls" EXCEPT once with a Viber call where the other side could not hear me. It was fixed with a reboot.
BTW, I smartflashed 1 time during the 2-3rd nightly, to match RC's BB...
Now on yesterday's Nightly, 6 November, with auto time zone working finally.

Oops sorry, I missed the "call".
Anyways, I always do a clean install, and I always get the audio bug (First nightly, and nightlies 3 and 4).

i have no problem on clean install.. wipe data partition,wipe cache,then advance wipe dalvic cache then format/system and format/cache then install zip from sd card,then wait till finish then use it more than 2 mins then reboot again to recovery then flash the gapps,then reboot.. voila i have no call issue,so far.. BTW i came from CM7 of gueste v3.7..

the problem i think like new2city posted is misconception regarding clean install (full wipe)...
i myself didnt know what full wipe was but i googled it as i needed for flashing paranoid android rom(as it was my first custom rom) n what i found was...
1) wipe data/factory reset
2) wipe cache partition
3) mounts and storage/ format cache,data and system
4) advanced/ wipe dalvik cache
i do this before every installation whenever possible..
correct me if im wrong
EDIT: oops sorry didnt read the above post properly..

Allways did clean install. First time had audio problem after a few calls. Problem was gone when i changed bb

why wait for 2 minutes?, before installing gapps. every time i just install it right after the nightly install finishes

up untill nightly 05 (always with clean install) tried like 5 different basebands and still had problems, am back gueste hybrid for now or if someone actually makes a stock-like ics I'll go there cause I need stability over nice and new software and to actually be able to use the phone side of my optimus at all times . I LOVE CM but for now it's a only a hassle.

the issues with calls dont appear just after flashing a new rom..they take from some hours to a day or two to start.

i reverted to cm7 with a nandroid backup with a factory wipe and...
cm10 call bug and plugging in the charger bsod bugs showed up

I continue with the problem
clean is installed, it worked perfectly after a day the problem a terrible noise.
Reinstall one baseband and followed the problem ..

Even if nothing gets fixed, thanks for this thread, now I've REALLY flashed a clean install
I formatted everything, my phone was even unbootable!!! Put the latest nightly in the external sd card and had to hold volume down to access CWM! It might be random or placebo, but the instead of the phone being a bit unresponsive at first, like the other times I flashed, it was great right from the first boot!! Even if doesn't fix the audio bug, thanks for this
Cheers!

With latest nightly of CM10 and clean instal i have more issues then before... very strange... i have baseband v20s and i am from Romania
