Problems with CM, DarkDream, NAV, G1 and MT3G - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

I have CM 4.2.5. I have DarkDream 1.3.1. My icons are from M_Blend, because I flashed it to see what it looked like before DarkDream was 4.2.5 compatible. I can't get the icons to change. I have tried installing 4.2.5 over again, 4.2.4 then 4.2.5, nothing is working. The icons are stuck at M_Blend blue. I had Google Nav working fine. Then it stopped. I struggled through instructions here for hours to get it working again. Then I installed CM 4.2.5 which seems to have broken it all over again. So I installed the Navigation update (supposedly compatible with CM builds from another thread here. That reverted to me CM 4.2.4, with the stock theme, and STILL no nav. Am I the only person having these problems? *This is on my MT3G*
On my G1, Cyan won't stop rebooting. It'll load all the way up, work for an hour or so, then reboot. I've tried reflashing, I've tried flashing 4.2.4, I've tried going to a working nandroid backup, they all have the same problem. Anything I haven't already tried?

dude.. i think u need a wipe. wipe data, cache. then start flashing the rom and updates without theme. try reboot then nandroid. after backing up then u can try your themes.

See, I knew there was a reason I asked. I'll try that.
Edit: This seems to have worked. Thank you.

No CM Updater

Ok, I am using the 4.2.15.1 rom, I tryed a 2.1 rom, Didn't like it and tryed to do restore system. I had a hole bunch of issues "Like apps disappeared" and what not so I know I screwed something up. So I went to the basics and re-did everything and installed a fresh install and I have no CM Updater!!! I can't figure this out!!
Install it from market.
I did a search for cm updater, ntohing came up.
Type cyanogen.

[Q] CM7 Bootloops

I've noticed other people seem to be having this same problem and there hasn't really been a distinct solution that I can see, so hopefully this question will be helpful in the future and not repeatative.
I've been trying to update to CM7 from CM 6.1.2 on my Evo. I followed instructions from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902051 and downloaded all the recommended software. First I tried to just flash the rom, then the kernal, then the gapps. All seemed well at first, and I got past the Evo 4G screen, but it got stuck booting on the Cyanogen animation (the arrow just keeps going!)
Then I tried to wipe the Davlik-Cache, and rebooted again. I left the phone alone for about 45 minutes, and it still got stuck on the Cyanogen animation.
Finaly, after searching through the forums, I found another post which suggested I do a hard reset then flash the rom, kernal and gaaps then clear the cache and davlik-cache. Still, I'm stuck on the animation. I have a nandroid backup, so I can get back to 6.1.2, but I'd really like to get CM7 working, anything else I should try?
You should't have to do the kernel separately unless you have a specific reason for doing so the ROM comes with a kernel for you. I had a similar problem with my HTC however I was able to get it resolved by installing gapps. Here's what I did -->
Used ROM Manager to go back to working ROM
From working ROM, accessd ROM Manager and chose rebooted into recovery mode
Once in recovery cleared/wiped everything (cache, data, delvik) installed gapps then cm7
Restarted
It did take awhile after restart to get going however once it did it worked marvelously!
Hope this helps and good luck!
Reboot
Similar Problem, Defy CM7 Bootloop
The first time i tried installing CM7 I got a boot-loop. I have tried at least 7 different tutorials all with different variations of flashing this and wiping that yet none yield results. Still stuck at boot-loop.
The most recent thing i have done was used RSD Lite to flash
"JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P016_A016_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf"
this got my phone running again, i then pulled off some magic by rooting using a combination of super1click, Z4 and installing superuser myself. after that i copied the files for a bootmenu into my /data/ folder. using CWM Recovery v2.5.1 flashed
"freq_F_US_342_107-850-1700-2100-signed.zip"
to get my 3G running again, and gave up of CM7.
If anyone has anything that could help id appreciate it.
(ps. i've tried many variations of wiping things and re-flashing things)

[Q] I regret flashing CM7

I wish I had known before flashing CM7 that many have had problems with the gps. I certainly do. I tried using my nandroid backup to go back to the Froyo ROM I had flashed from AddictiveTips, but backup and restore on ClockworkMod just leaves me with a blank screen. I've seen some tips on fixing gps, but most involving going back to a sense ROM and starting over. I'm not a computer whiz and some suggestions are hard to follow. I tried one involving Fast Reboot and Faster Fix, but it didn't work. Since ClockworkMod's restore won't work, I have to either wait for the CM7 gps problem to be fixed later or try re-installing the Froyo ROM from the SD card (which may or may not work). The gps with Froyo worked great. Any suggestions?
Nandroid backup didn't work?
And what problems are you having with gapps?
Me myself have problems in CM7 as well -> the gapps cannot be installed (well, CWM didn't mention any error when installing) but after boot up no gapps is there, after tons of research here and no solution too, and I rolled back to froyo.

CM7 working fine on my HD2. I'm running it from my SD though because I don't want to root.
From what I understand the GPS will not be fixed by a cm update its got something to do with the hardware you have to do http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11853529&postcount=2085 this to fix it. After I did the gpsclr fix mine has worked flawlessly. Also I don't think its only cm roms that have this issue.

ah i mistook gps for gapps. my mistake... lol
Odd... CM7 works perfectly on my Motorola Droid and Nook Color and I've also never had a GPS problem (even on older nightlies). What make and model is your phone? And are you running off a CM7 nightly (if so what build?) or an RC (the latest is RC4 as far as I know)?
Gps worked perfectly using Froyo (rooted, ROM from AddictiveTips). I have an HTC Desire (CDMA) from US Celular. No, I'm not running off nightlies. I installed CM7 RC4.
The fix suggested above sounds like I would have to first flash a sense ROM and then come back to CM7. Other than giving me extra space for apps, it isn't worth it. I could get by with Froyo since everything worked with it. With CM7, the gps doesn't work at all. Maps keeps searching for satellites and never finds them. I really miss not having voice directions.

all you need to do>
get a fresh rom myns or any that you like in reality it doesnt have to be sense if you just want to get away from cm7 altogether
but then boot into cm7,
plug it into your computer
load the new rom onto your phone
boot into recovery
then install the new rom.
sound good?
I appreciate the suggestions, but I decided to go back to Froyo and my gps is working again! Unfortunately, Clockworkmod won't let me re-install any backups, and I have no idea why. All I get is a blank screen. Fortunately, I can install from the SD card, which I did to get Froyo back. Since nandroid backups don't seem to work, I have to setup my phone from scratch everytime I make a ROM change.

[Q] stuck in bootloop when I try to flash a rom

hi all,
Ok, I'm new to this stuff.
1. used the simple root and it worked great.
2. I then flashed CM7 and it worked great except market was not on it.
3. I downloaded and flashed gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip by mistake, not realizing I had to use another gapps.
4. After I flashed it, the cm7 and android setup screens kept cycling between each other.
5. I restored to clockworkmod (sp) and then deleted the gapps and tried to then flash cm7. It didn't cycle between cm7 and android setup, but the cm7 screens kept cycling and never got past that.
6. I thought perhaps it was just cm7 now, so I tried miui and it's doing the same thing. It's cycling between the gingerbread man and MIUI with the status bar and won't do anything else.
Very frustrated. what have I done and how do I fix it?
Thanks folks,
Brett
You could flash the stock ruu and start over.. or, wipe everything flash cm7 and then flash gapps.

MIUI 2.3.5 1.9.23 - No soft keys after succesfull flash

Appologies for not replying to the original MIUI thread. I am not a new user and i am very experienced in flashing roms etc, especially on samsung devices. I have been around for a while now but this is my first post so i cannot post in the dev section yet.
Last night i flashed MIUI to my infuse. I followed the instructions in the op here exactly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278053
I had no problems flashing and everything was successfull, however there were 2 major issues. First being the soft keys. The four buttons menu, home, back, and search buttons did not function at all. They werent even backlit. The volume rocker and power buttons functioned fine. I reflashed from blue cwm twice and still nothing.
This is where i ran into my second issue. There were no posts about anyone having the soft key issue however i did notice alot of people losing their recover and being stuck on the samsung boot screen. This eventually happened to me.
I went to samfirmware and downloaded 2.1 and odin'd it, then odin'd the community kernel to get ext4 and red cwm then restored my nandroid so i am back to normal. I wanted to post about my soft key issue but as i said i had to post in q&a due to my lack of posts.
Any suggestions? if not, i at least wanted to inform the dev of the issue.
Thanks
have you tired CM7, just asking cuz they have almost the same bugs....so i would curious to see if your softkey issue transfers to that rom as well. and if not........
i would try loading up CM7, wiping from the orange CWM and flashing MiUi from there. it Should have worked the way you did itk if you were coming from stock. but who knows maybe seeing if it happens on Cm7 will lead to your answer.
just an idea though
no i havent been able to try cm7 yet as i dont have a build environment set up anymore and havent seen a release yet, would love to give it a shot if someone wants to send me a zip.
i really hope it doesnt have the same issue or ill have to donate this thing to my fiance and get a gs2 or something lol.
Check your mail, you seem to know what your doing so test it out see what happens.
Happy Flashing
Happy flashing indeed, thanks for this im going to give it a go right now, bbl with results.
Hell the only reason i was flashing miui to begin with is b/c i am currently unable to build cm7 so hope this works..
Thanks a ton!!
Ok so heres how it went down.
After my fail last night with the softkeys i did a little research and flashed serendipity s7. So with the cm7 zip you sent me i started out flashing over this since they are both ext4 i didnt think there would be a prob.
Followed your instructions, wipe, flash, pull battery, wipe, flash. After the first flash i was in orange cwm. I didnt give it a chance to boot until after the second flash obviously, but it would boot directly into orange cwm everytime.
From there i decided to odin to stock and flash the community kernel again.
Now that i was back in red cwm and formatted to ext4 i repeated your original instructions and everything flashed just fine.
As far as the soft keys, i have no issues at all. Everything is working just fine.
I was flashing from 2.1 uke3 last night, and thats also what i flashed with tonight and was successfull with.
Anyways thanks for the help glad to say im not having the issue with cm7. much appreciated
--forgot to add i am going to try to reflash miui coming from cm7 and see how that goes if i still get the same issue
--Okay, booted to orange cwm, wiped and flashed the same miui zip as before. Only one wipe and one flash no battery pull or anything. Everything flashed perfectly and my soft keys are functional. Not quite sure what the deal was before but miui is booting just fine. I'm afraid to boot recovery to many times as everyone seems to lose it after a few uses. We'll see how it goes for now, never been an miui fan to iphoneish for my taste but until i can build a recent cm7 rom i need something, was getting bored with rooted stock.
Thanks again for your help!
