Notes:
IMPORTANT: Although all of my scripts check for and handle appropriatly a2sd and other apps2sd utilities it is highly recomended that you move your apps back to the /data/app folder and remove or disable any a2sd utilities prior to flashing this ROM, once flashed you can reset all of your a2sd settings accordingly. It is also recomend that you leave your cache and dalvik cache alone as moving these can cause backup and restore to fail if there is insuffiecient space.
Enjoy, this is fast stable and very clean, I have even included some of my favorite backgrounds which can be found under "Menu - More - Wallpaper". And as always I am the only DEV (To my knowledge) that includes an antivirus app in my ROM and handles backups and restores of all user level apps (/data/app and /data/app-private) during the flash sequence. No matter what style or flavor of rom you currently have there is no need to wipe, my updater-script handles everything for you. I do still recomend a full nand backup first just for safety sake.
Thanks:
evanbigfan - for pointing out a flaw in my scripts
J074 - for all the testing (and the humor) LOL
existz - for the kernel
google - for android
cyanogenmod - for the stable base
and all of the devs that provided help with the backup and restore issues.

Now also available via the "ACS Updater" app from the market​

Nice. Really good rom. Thanks.

Thanks for your work...I tried it, but had to nand back. I followed instructions & everything went great until I tried to use Titantium Backup to add back a few apps it failed to install ...then it started restarting.
The apps were fancy Widgets & pro Widgets.
Gonna reflash when I stop for the night.
Thanks for all you do though....I'm still a rookie this.

without restoring the apps from titanium backup did all your other apps work as expected? when you are restoring your apps from TB are you choosing data as well? if your previous ROM was a sense rom this could be the cause of the problem. try restoring without data and then setup the apps again from scratch. let me know if that helps.

Looking good.

Previous rom was Ninja (aosp) .
It auto installed all but 6 previously installed apps...I tried twice today.
I think my problem lies with a auto update of superuser. It auto updated twice...I skipped all setup accounts until dead last in case something was triggering it...no dice, it still did it. Tried clearing data on superuser, but it was greyed-out because there wasn't any data as of yet.
Also, I always restore apps...never data.
I dunno what I'm doing wrong...never had an issue like this.
Maybe superuser updating?
Edit: forgot to mention that on the second time round....I also tried to use the market to re-install my missing apps...and the same thing happened (phone restarts)
I'm gonna try it again and reinstall nothing & I'll report back

AHA!! A brand-new ROM - lots of questions!!
As a confirmed "flash-junkie" on my older Aria, I now have a 2-month old Inspire, and have already tried SO MANY ROMS I have lost count I really need to stop having it "out of commission" all the time because I'm trying something new!!! So -- I am looking for a Gingerbread ROM - definitely "no-sense" or very minimal Sense! (I use 3rd party apps for almost everything that Sense does and it takes so much space and time to load and run it all, or to delete so much every time I update a Sense ROM...
I have tons!!! of apps, and have been using CM7 nightlies - hoping for just the "right one" but I have not been completely satisfied for one reason or another... (Wi-Fi, GPS, ADW launcher so slow, lack of A2sd/EXT4 support, etc...)
What I want: I want to keep my most-used apps "internal" to load faster, and most of my "other" stuff, such as games, "testing" apps, reference library apps, etc. on a separate partition. I would prefer S2E/Link2SD type EXT-4 for the speed and "wipability..." I have used the S2E app, but don't like to move everything, I have tried Link2SD without much success, so I have been pretty much using standard A2SD, which is a pain...
So... what options does your ROM have for something like that? And... what setup do you recommend prior to flashing?? (i.e. pre-set EXT4 secondary partition?)
And... Is data/GPS/Wi-Fi etc. pretty stable without all the "fixes" to apply each update? I'm getting tired of editing build.prop, gps.conf, kernel flashing, etc. on this phone - I'd like to leave all that to my old phone and have my Inspire nice and set for pretty much my daily user -- if an OCD flash junkie can actually do that, anyhow - he he he
OK - I realize this was a very long post, but if you don't think your new ROM is my best choice, I'm open to other ideas from anyone!!!
Thanks!

I'm trying to remember what ver of SU is in the ROM i think it should be 3.0.2 (it was current as of the time i built the rom) I'm not convinced that that could be the issue. I dont use titanium backup as i just start from scratch, i dont much care about data just the apps so i havent tested anything with titanium backup. I'm curious what 6 apps don't install? is it the same 6 everytime? anything special about them? was your previous ROM an EXT3 or EXT4 ROM? are you using any apps2sd utils or have your sdcard partitioned? again thats one i don't use so havent tested for. (sorry if i tested for every possible scenario I'd never get anything done).
I'll try TB tonight and see what happens.

Well I'm probably the worst Flash junkie around I frequently run with broken ROMS just trying to test and build. since I only have one phone that becomes a real pain at times.
so to try to answer your questions. I don't use any apps2sd utils nor do i partion my sdcard nor move any apps to the sdcard and with this rom having on average around 400mb free I havent had much of a need to do so. that being said it does support extended partitions on the sdcard (up to 512mb) you can use any of the third party apps2sd utils just fine as well.
Data/GPS/WiFi including WiFi hotspot and tethering all work flawlessly in my opinion. stability has always been one of my biggest concerns that's why I started building ROMs so I could be the one in control of any stability issues that arose. there should be absolutly no need to edit the build.prop for anything that I'm aware of it is tweaked to provide the best results for the ROM.
Recomendations for prior to flashing. NAND NAND NAND Backups are your friend...
My updater-script is unique in that I am to my knowledge the only one who handles app backups and restores as well as cleanup and wiping through the script so in all reality you can download my ROM make a backup of your current ROM and then Flash mine with no concern of what style of ROM you came from.
I hope that helps answer some of your questions. in regards to whether or not i think this is the right one for you? that is a determination that only you can make. personally this has been my daily driver for nearly a week without issues and im not one for AOSP roms per say..

anyone having this problem?
when i try to install apps i have purchased, i try to install them after i downloaded them but when it trys to install my phone fast reboots, ig u could say lol, is this happening to anyone else.. cause i cant install any apps on my phone

Tried again ....this time I did not try to reinstall any apps via TIB...used market. Data shut off and phone rebooted with ANY app from the market.
It would download BUT then reboot before it finished installing.
Even tried apps at random...lol
Just to be sure it wasn't particular apps.
Tried clearing market data and also reformatted SD card ext4.
Lead me in the right direction if you can ...I'd really like to get this one running. I'm sure you put alot of time in on it & I think its gonna be a good one.

i have yyet to have any issues installing apps from the market yet others have had reboot issues when trying to restore from titanium backup. im not sure why this happens.
what rom did you come from? was it ext3 or ext4? sense or AOSP? and what apps are you trying to install, directly from market or from apk's downloaded to your sdcard? if previously downloaded can you adb them to your data/app folder?

both, and a miui rom the the one previous to the latest

Fission 1.1 Test 4 - D2 http://tinyurl.com/2fzwmkc - DX http://tinyurl.com/2alusr3
You guys and girls know the deal...dont have time for a big post.
Radio issue fixed with some other improvements
Can you be a bit more precise in the exact changes?
Is there going to be an easy way to upgrade I hopes? :s
I'm running 1.0 now and absolutely LOVE it. The Dialer issue is a bit obnoxious, but workable. I just hope I don't have to completely re-flash and start over... again.
@librarat - Agreed. I was literally about to flash 1.0 and saw this was available. I'd hate to have to set up everything all over again. A simpler upgrade would be much appreciated.
is this a wipe or non wipe?
Feedback
Has anyone installed yet and tested? Feedback and thoughts? Just trying to get a feel before I put it on the D2. Thanks
According to the X forums, its a flashover, not a full reeflash. A dev response would be appreciated, though.
I just 1.0 werkin' and don't want to start all over again.

Is 1.1 a full ROM, that can be installed standalone, or do we need to start with 1.0 and then go up to 1.1? Just a sanity check
My guess would be, that it is a full ROM. But, alas, I will wait for some more information on this ROM before I flash over 1.0.

BACKUP your phone using Bootstrap before installing any ROMs so you can go back to your current setup if anything fails. Notice I said that TWICE!!!
1. Download and place ROM on SD Card
2. Open Bootstrap and tap Bootstrap Recovery
3. Reboot into Recovery
4. Create Backup
5. Mount System
6. Wipe Cache -You may choose not to wipe but MAY have problems
7. Wipe Data - You may choose not to wipe but MAY have problems
8. Mount System and Data - Yes double check that both are MOUNTED (Reads UNMOUNT when MOUNTED)
9. Install Zip from SD Card
10. Choose Zip from SD Card
11. Select your ROM
12. Yes - Install
13. Wipe Cache Again - You may choose not to wipe but MAY have problems
14. Wipe Data Again - You may choose not to wipe but MAY have problems
15. Perform a Factory Reset through Android - Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset. Wiping Cache and Data from recovery is not enough.
16. Reboot
17. Enjoy!

+1. Thanks for the assistance post with this. Mike, I would recommend searching the forums for topics such as these as there are multiple topics that are already available with detailed explanations.
I know how to do a full install, i'm running fission 1.0. I thought there might be a way to "flash" the update without having start over. I just dont feel like doing a full wipe again.
When I installed 1.0 and went to my downloads in the market there were only a handful in the list. I had to try to remember all the apps I had downloaded and manually find them and download them. I have just today gotten things back to normal.
I don't want to have to go thru this every couple days after some minor updates. I'm really liking fission 1.0

These are full flashes from what I can see and you will have to do it this way each time. If you download the app through the market, the market will restore your apps after you sign into your gmail.

I understand where he was coming from. It happened to me when I flashed 1.1 coming from what I had. The market only restored about 65% of the apps I had installed. What people need to download is Titanium Backup. Its probably the main app any rooted phone should have installed. You can set a schedule to backup apps and their data daily (or however often you want); when you restore Titanium Backup after flashing a new ROM all you have to do is a "batch" and tell it what you want it to restore and it will restore everything for you. For example; I have HandcentSMS, with custom settings and it restores the app and all its settings.
Its a very helpful app to have

I'm pretty sure on either the Alpha, Beta, or RC1 posts for Fission they said not to use Titanium (or any other backup program) when going from any other ROM to Fission. Would imagine though that going from 1.0 to 1.1 titanium would work just fine though.

Geek For Me is proud to present:
Fresh Shift 4.1.1
for your Sprint CDMA Evo Shift!
Included V6 SuperCharger in /system/xbin/V6_SuperCharger_u8.sh for those who want to use it.
Thanks to zeppelinrox for this. I am NOT the dev and won’t be supporting any questions with this script as it’s extensive. Please visit the original thread if you have any.
Added Fresh Updater (v1.4.0)
This will allow you to get fresh rom updates and mods straight from fresh updater
Check http://link.geekfor.me/updater for help on using it
Added some helpful text prompts to hopefully alleviate questions from when people don’t read the FAQ.
Removed some deprecated options to clean up the menus
NOTE: While you can still use fresh updater to download any updates/mods and then flash manually, it will only reboot and flash automatically if you’re using TWRP recovery. It will NOT work with clockwordmod to flash automatically.
Downgraded busybox to 1.18.2 to resolve some scripting issues
Updated DarkTremor apps2sd to 2.7.5.2-1
NOTE: DarkTremor apps2sd is not working on the Shift. If you are getting issues with FC’s or your phone rebooting when you install apps then run: adb shell a2sd remove
I’m looking in to this but I’ll most likely be removing it entirely as the dev for DT no longer supports it.
UPDATE: Spoke to the DT dev who wasn’t sure why it would be doing that however said that the project is abandoned and he won’t be looking in to fixing it. So I will be removing apps2sd in future versions. If you are getting the reboot issue when trying to install apps then you MUST remove it: adb shell a2sd remove
Updated Vending/Market to 3.3.12
Updated SuperUser to 3.0.7
Not every mod in this rom is outlined here if it was done in a previous version. Check the full change log here: http://link.geekfor.me/shiftchangelog

Why am I getting FC’s on gmail/market/voice search/whatever?
FC’s can be a common issue when /system/app contains an app that you already have on /data/app. So if you get a FC on gmail, the market, or something similar, then it can generally be fixed 99.99% of the time by either wiping that particular apps data (Settings < Manage Applications < All < YOUR APP < Clear Data), or going in and uninstalling it which will actually force it to use the one /system/app.
Or, of course, can be fixed 100% of the time by doing a full data wipe before installing! I have verified this rom as 100% FC free (at boot at least) so if you have issues, it’s your particular setup.
Why do I get invalid signature when flashing?
This zip is signed the same as I’ve signed every other rom for the last 2.5 years but was getting invalid signature from TWRC 1.1.1. So make sure signature checking is disabled. You can compare the md5 below to make sure your download is good though.
Is this Ice Cream Sandwich? It says it’s version 4.x?
No. This is version 4.x of Fresh Rom. The Android version is always in my change log and unless it’s tagged as a dev rom, will always be the newest official OTA, or possibly a beta tag for a leaked OTA.
How do I setup V6 SuperCharger?

How do I remove Carrier IQ / CIQ?

I always listen to the community as a whole and if enough people want something then I will generally add it to my rom. So feel free to ask. However if it's something that only a few people want then I request that you do it yourself and submit a mod/theme/patch for the others to use!

Road map for next version:
All changes included in newest version
Thanks flipz for pushing this out. I have been running it since you let the donors have first crack at it. Ran really smooth with stock kernel,but as I like to play and try things I flashed dodgejcr's ext4 conversion and his 1.6 sense kernel . Things is pretty snappy only runnin it at 900mhz,smartass and BFQ.If there are any issues will report them,also is there and Odex version in the works? Thx for giving us shifters another option.

I'd be interested in knowing if you have any issues flashing roms once you do the ext4 conversion? The updater-script mounts it as ext3.
He has a zip that you flash to convert back to ext 3 then I flash any rom the mounts as ext 3 then flash the rom,then back the rom up flash the ext4 zip,restore the nand the flash the ext4 kernel an bam you have fresh shift runnin ext4.
Edit: This may explain it better than I can Fresh

Yeah FDX's method would work but for some reason, even while the filesystem is ext4, CWM and TWRP can still mount it as ext3 for the ROM flash. I havent heard of any problems with it just yet. As a suggestion, it would be awesome to have a sort of 'universal mounting' going on in the updater script to prevent any bugs that MAY occur.
Like I posted in my thread:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
would use busybox to mount the /system partition regardless of FS type. Hope this helps you. If you need any additional help, let me know. Ill be happy to help in anyway I can.

They are in his/her original post.
@ dodger, flipz and fdx after alot of reading it seems that you can use the call for ext3 to mount both ext3 and 4 without issues.
so all our updater-scripts sound work without issues
Nice to see you around flipz
when i downloaded app it would reboot
holy crap flips made a fresh rom for the shift, i loved your roms for the hero man!
Can not install Apps every time I try it reboots, i cleared cache partion and Dalvik cache. also did wipe data/factory reset. issue still there. any suggestions? thanks for all your work on this rom, my guess is I'm missing something.

I just downloaded and reflashed. Not having the issue you describe,so maybe it could be a bad flash or a bad download of the rom try re-download and re-flash it. Make sure to wipe everything 3x's .

I just tried installing an app and it rebooted as well. It doesn't reboot until it hits the "installing" part after the download. I tried it with fastboot on and off and still the same thing.
I'll try wiping and re-flashing everything again and see if that makes a difference.

[Q] How to auto-download and install all ur apps after flashing (without Titanium)?

Hi.
Ok, so check this out. Every time I flash a new ROM, I need to go into the MARKET and install all my apps (i don't use many, so it's not that time-consuming).
One day, I installed this GO LAUNCHER. When I flashed my rom again, in some magical way, all my apps were downloaded and installed (NOT restored, but re-installed fresh).
I do not know how the Go Launcher did this, since this happens before I even to to the market and install it after a fresh rom. Magic!
In any case, this stopped happening for some reason when I did my last flash (Weapon).
My question is - is there an APP that does this?
Again, i do NOT wish to RESTORE my apps. I wish for the MARKET to download all the apps was using (FRESH install them).
Is there a way to do this without GO Launcher?
Thanks
Whats supposed to happen is that Android is supposed to automatically download and reinstall your apps. The problem is that it doesn't always work. In fact, it has never worked correctly. Its really a hit or miss.
I think the reason is because everytime you do a fresh install of Android, it includes an old version (usually 2 or 3 versions back) of the Android Market. So the first thing it does is upgrade Market and I believe that is where it messes up with the restoring of apps.
ICS has supposedly fixed this issue.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
THANK YOU!!!
Best way I've found is to make a backup of whatever rom you are on with all your apps and do a selective restore for the Data only from cwm, should put everything back including your google account.
I've done it many times between roms and have had no noticeable issues, but I can't guarantee you won't.
I haven't checked with a fresh rom install but i believe titanium can now push the updated version of software into the rom.
Meaning on your list you would see two listings of gmail.. The old and then the updated. If you pushed them into the rom and did a nandroid i wonder if the newer version of the app stays.

da-pharoahs ROM Guide - G2X tweaks / mods / apps

Hellions
all things related to Da-pharoah's rom's and other G2X tweaks / fixes / add-ons
This is the place where we ease the burden on da-pharoah and utilize open source for its' intended purpose...to help one another for FREE! Kinda like kickin apple, windows, etc. directly in the balls. Please ask your questions regarding issues here. If we can not figure it out, they will be forwarded to the master. While this is an open thread there are a few rules:
1.) Stop what you are doing and go thank da-pharoah...we'll wait.....
2.) READ!!!!! and when you think you've read enough....READ some more!
3.) No complaining about tweaks the DEV built into the ROM. More than likely it is just eye candy which is easily removed. Personally, most enjoy the eye candy and is what separates DEV's from each other. Remember, they do this for us for free and could easily dev their rom as they like it and share it with no one. If you do not like something, o.k. ill say it i.e. flames, just read up on how to change it.
4.) Do not mention how much you love some other rom and are going back....just go back. At this point we already know you work for LG.
5.) For specific issue's regarding rom's daily driver performance or if you find something that has helped, please submit via xda PM to myself or Pharoah so we can keep the thread clean and reader friendly. If you like certain themes, apps, apps that created an issue, etc. you can post here with screen shots. Let's open it up a bit but stay on task.
For the noobies, not a bad word we were all there too, please seek-out other threads for CWM / rooting issues. These have been addressed by some great dev's on here. Give them their due and seek-out the answers on their threads; thanking them appropriately.
Here we go........
HELPFUL HINTS:
1.) DO NOT use CWM mount/storage to load zip files onto your SD. There has been a known issue with CWM corrupting the files during transfer. Use a stick/adapter and load directly from PC.
2.) Ensure you have at least 80% battery left
3.) DO NOT touch the phone for AT LEAST for ten minutes after first boot. Allow the ROM to move in before changing the furniture.
4.) Complete several on/off cycles BEFORE you report an issue.
5.) Reboot at least once daily so that things can get moved back to their proper spots after the party. This will extend your honeymoon phase.....
6.) UPDATE your apps when installing an updated rom!!!!! Apps are one of the biggest causes of issue's with new roms as the app dev's struggle to keep-up with the master. Worst case you have to uninstall and re-install some apps.
7.) Open MAPS/GPS outside for the first time....it works!!!!!!
8.) SEEK your answer first...i.e. slow data - check your settings, is the proper one checked, cycle through them all to see if it repairs itself, etc.
9.) When in doubt wipe it out, fix the permissions and reboot
10.) Ensure you have updated super user (super user update fixer - tx Thibor) and checked unknown sources under applications.
11.) Load the correct gapps...directly after rom and before first boot.
12.) If you get random data loss or are connected to data but an app or net says you are not toggle between airplane mode and norm a couple times to fix it. If this does not fix the issue, do a few data cycles (2g-3g and vice versa, etc.). If these do not work or you have worse reception/data with new rom, d/l getRIL from the market and follow the instructions.
13.) If you have done it all and first boot isn't running right...do it over but skip Google load on first run. Follow through everything else, let sit, reboot then load. If you are still having issue's then, and only then, should you be asking for help.
14.) If all resources are exhausted and you are standing on a ledge....ask away but please, please include what you have done to your phone after ruining its' Virginesque state. i.e. ov'd, uc'd, donkey punched, v6'd, dropped in the toilet, changed kernels, etc. We use this info to compare with other known issues or to try and replicate your exception/process failure while "seeing" what the source of the issue is.
***These are just SUGGESTIONS - don't be the one moron who asks why it is so or that you've never done these and your phone could beat up my phone, etc. If you use them great, if you do not great, if you lit yourself on fire great........etc., etc.

HellFire Phoenix (CM7) Rom stuff/mods/updates:
So since this seems to be turning into the all in one thread, ill go ahead and post the lil 'updates' that I did for HFP as well as the collection of such based in the threads of HFP & HFS.
I have changed the pattern lock screen to red instead of the green. If you use it cool, if not no worries. I thought I'd share because I know alot of people who use the pattern lock screen and I think the red flows better then the green and I also changed the PB text to HFP in the notifications bar. Here is the link in that thread. Or just d/l the attachment and flash via CWM. Always make a nandroid backup just in case however!
I have also attached the file for the livewallpapers.apk to show the new update for HFP. It originally had the PB images but I changed it to a more HF theme, kinda. All you have to do with this is use root explorer (or similar root file explorer) and copy/paste this into the /system/app location. Make sure that you make your system RW and then before pasting rename the original to livewallpaper.apk.bak, just in case. now once its pasted into that location long press on it to make sure the permissions are correct they should look like a backwards '7' or like this:
x x 0
x 0 0
x 0 0
Then reboot and enjoy!
More for HFP. Also these are all flashable via CWM unless otherwise noted.:
Here is the Blueflames Mod done by MWBehr.
Here is the Red Flames Mod for HFP.
Here is an another framework-res.apk mod for ICS animations for HFP done by IRASadPanda but it also seems like it may be a little bit of a battery drainer too.
Here is a mod by Taine0 that is a Status bar/notification mod that centers the clock and icon switch - CM7/gingerbread - update
Here are some links for the all the gapps updates for both CM7 and CM9 or try here too or here as well <- Neither of these are not themed by Hell, btw.. and last but not least you could just download this app from the market (thanks for pointing this out kesara) and go that route, its called Goo-inside.me beta
Here is a MOD to get better sounding audio. Its the ported Beats Audio by Dre for ALL GB roms.

Here is a alternative launcher to Trebuchet Launcher thats only for Android 4+, ref'd by benyben123 and created by dennisxl. its called Apex Launcher Beta.
Attached is an updated music.apk I found. Its the MIUI music app. Only drawback is doesnt look like it has a widget for the music app for some reason.. ill look into getting a fix for that. It now shows the music on the phone and SD card. But I dont believe it has the widget.. so temp fix for now. Just replace with root explorer using the copy/paste method (make sure to mount system as RW) and make sure permissions are the backwards 7 or like this:
x x 0
x 0 0
x 0 0
then reboot and all is great!!
Mods/Eye candy for both HFP & HFS
These are also all flashable via CWM unless otherwise noted.:
Here is the slightly updated version of the HF boot animation LWP done by jblah. Still is the first one with the all black background. I figured since he does pimp work might as well showcase everything, plus the new one is completely different so I really like this one for a LWP versus the actually new boot ani for the LWP. So really all I did was just update the logo and change some text in the settings.xml but just install and good to go. Btw its got a different name so just uninstall the other one (if you have that one installed) and you'll be good to go. also if for some reason after you select it and if for some reason you get a fc, just reboot and should be all good... it is attached below btw, its titled 'HFLiveWall12.apk'
2/27/12 updated to show right icon and smaller image size.
3/07/12 updated icon again and text in settings.xml.
Also some the sigs I have done so far.. feel free to use.

Restored SMS/MMS messages / no 4G
Question for the gurus- hopefully someone can help.
Has anyone figured out how to get mobile data to work after restoring SMS/MMS messages?
I read in the development section that this mobile data problem was connected with restoring the SMS/MMS messages via TB. I restored my text messages when I first installed HFS 1.1, and haven't been able to establish my 4G connection ever since. (It's been a week since I've been trying to figure this out, and I've been relying solely on Wifi for data connections- goo when at home, bad while away.)
I went as far as to install the new 1.2 version after wiping my cache and dalvik, to no avail.
The other suggested steps like rebooting, fixing permissions, and toggling Airplane Mode have already been tried, and the result remains unchanged.
Is there any way that the Mobile data can be restored, outside of having to wipe everything and reflash, and not have access to my archive of text messages?
Would it be possible for the necessary components to be reinstalled that would resolve the 4G problem while I retain my messages that I've restored from TB?

Try using mybackup to restore sms/mms instead of TB. Just make sure to reboot after your restore.. I've had success there and it has not affected my data connection....

OK, I will check it out and follow your suggestion to the letter. Thanks, Pharoah.
I already have SMS Backup+ that backs up my messages to my Gmail account. That's cool and I can use that to restore my messages, but I'd prefer a local SMS/MMS backup/restore solution. That way I wouldn't have to wait hours for the messages to download and restore like I usually have to do with SMS Backup+. (that is the one step I dread when flashing a new ROM- arghhh...)
Just when I thought that I finally found an effective workaround to that tedious process, this happens.
In the meantime, I guess I can't avoid having to wipe everything and reflash, right? If that's my only option, then that's what I'll have to do. I love this ROM and the multitude of features it has (Props to Hell and the whole team that keeps the Hellfire ROM sharps and updates coming. Having on point devs is truly a blessing!)
However, after I get TB back online, I'll back up the system data so I can restore the fresh version if the situation comes up again somehow.
Right on sounds good, but just to be clear do a backup in cwm for your system and TB for your personal apps plus app data...

myTouch 4G new kernel and CM7.2

Hi all I've been using my MT4G for a long time now, rooted and running CM7.1 with original kernel. Finally decided after all this time to flash a new kernel and update to 7.2 and have a few questions as I haven't made any root changes to it since first rooting...
1. Should I flash the ROM update or the new kernel first?
2.Obviously I'll do a nandroid and app backup, but I run S2E, will updating affect my SD-EXT settings and files?
3. I have a few apps that I used Titanium Backup to "convert to system apps" and then to "integrate updates of system apps into ROM." What will happen to these when I update to CM7.2?
3. I like to do thorough research before doing anything and was wondering if there is a list of kernels good for the MT4G when using CM7.2. Or if anyone has some good suggestions for the best kernels to improve battery and speed?
I've mostly decided to update now because lately my battery use for cell standby has been insane and I'm barely getting 4 hours out of it. It's looking for data signals constantly and I was told I need to update the PRL and that by using the latest CM and a new kernel I would fix this. Can someone please confirm this to be true so I know I am doing the right thing to fix my issues. Thanks.
Appreciate all the help, you guys are the best!

1. Install ROM before kernel. If you reboot before flashing the kernel, wipe cache and dalvik cache.
2. If you're using a script or any special settings you will need to redo these. Your sd-ext partition will only be affected if you wipe it, which you probably should.
3. Pull the apk's from system that you integrated and put them on your sd card. After installing your new ROM put them in system/app and change permissions to rw, r, r.
3 (Again?). For AOSP/CM7 GB use either thederekjay's kernel or the tiamat. Both are great. A simple google search of these names will garner useful results.
Yes, you're doing the right thing. Be sure you do a full wipe. I highly recommend using 4EXT Recovery.
i had a problem similar to yours with regards to battery life and i wish i could remember who to credit for this, but the suggestion was to only restore user apps from TBu and reconfigure system apps/settings to your desire. well, it worked and i have pretty awesome battery life.
for your kernel question i would have to agree that the thederekjay kernel for CM7 is a great choice.
