Coredroid to Leedroid FAIL :(

I've been trying to switch back to Leedroid from Coredroid and just have been having some crappy luck. I purchased the Pro of Titanium Backup and used it before I flashed Leedroid. Also I backed up my texts using GoSMSPro. Now when I go to restore my apps it doesn't restore any but it says it does and there are a bunch of apps that say they are backed up but they are crossed out. They fail when I try and do app+data and are successful if I just do the app however they don't show up on my phone. When I try to restore my texts using gosms it will let me do only a few even though they were backed up at the same time.
Please help this is annoying lol
EDIT: Also I thought Leedroid was supposed to download my apps from the market like Coredroid did? It did on a previous version if I'm not mistaken.

Do a full wipe and then reflash man.
Also I use titanium to backup apps, but Once I have a rom configured I do a full rom backup so I can just do a recover and switch back to it fully config'd. You may want to try that.

Full wipe and reflash where?

In Clockwork I wiped the cache, did a factory wipe, and cleared davlik before I flashed. I'm getting a FC on messages when I get texts using gosms but gosms works just not the restores.

I wish I could say why. But I do not know why. Could be a bad wipe, or something left from a rom before or maybe the current rom just didn't flash right. I actually have never had the issue but many here have.

OK goctha what if I do the factory wipe under settings before I boot in recovery?

Is there a way to pretty much start completely fresh? Like a new phone fresh? Also my data speeds SUCK I've tried every radio and matched ril

Factory reset. Clear Cache, Clear Delvik, Download a new copy of the rom you want. Fresh.
I think there is a file you can download too that will clean it completely too. Maybe someone else can link it for ya.

If you flash a different radio after the one in the Hack Kit or from Bubby's "one Click", your data speeds will be hosed. Get your rom config'd like you want, make a nadroid of it for later. Dl the radio you want(newest OTA is great) and the hack kit.
Now make a folder on C:\ called hackit and unzip/rar the hack kit to it. Go to the hackit folder, open the radio folder and delete its contents. Now copy the zip from the radio you dl'ed to the radio folder in the hack kit. Now run the hack kit all the way through but not past step five. Once you've completed step five, reboot into CWM/recovery, wipe data factory reset then restore your the nandroid you made of your fully config'd rom.
Enjoy good data speeds again.

use the full wipe zips. search fullwipe. flash 1.3 and 1.5

I usually manually wipe everything then run this zip before flashing the rom.
just remember if you use this full wipe it will erase your rom and you won't have one, flash new rom before restart!

[Q] cyanogenmod7

First post! Hopefully it's in the correct place!
Anyways,
I have rooted my phone using the ACE Hack Kit. Once that was completed I wanted to use the cyanogen ROM(recommend from a friend). I fully wiped from phone and then ran the cyanogen zip. Everything is fine until I use my phone for an extended period of time(for instance when I'm trying to set up my phone). For some odd reason my phone will freeze and I will be forced to take my battery out. From what I've read/understand I have done everything properly. Is there anything that I possibly missed or have not done that will cause these random freezes?
Thank you,

You or anyone wouldn't happen to know off hand if the kernel is UVed or OCed? This sounds like a UV or OC problem. Its an easy thing to fix if it is and I find that's is always best to rule out the easy stuff first! Some phones don't like to be UVed or OCed at all and freezes like this sometimes are caused by exactly that, UV or OC.
edit: and oh yeah, WELCOME! If you really like CM ROMs, give absolution a try (at the very least, if you or someone doesn't know if the kernel is UVed or OCed, you're be using a ROM I'm familiar with and if the problem persists on this ROM, diagnosing the a UV or OC problem should be fairly simple and I'll know how to get that fixed quickly for you since I haven't used the straight CM ROM in quite some time!) Actually come to think of it, did you check the md5 number? you could have downloaded a bad link causing a bad flash. It's rare most of the time but I have seen it happen..

If you havent downloaded any apps and dont mind reflashing the ROM just down load the full wipe place in ROOT (No Folder) of SD Card go into recovery.
Full Wipe (DO NOT RENAME AFTER DOWNLOAD)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CJPE5CB7
1. Choose zip from SD Card (Full Wipe 1.5) and Install
2. Choose zip from SD Card (Cyanogen ROM) and install
3. Reboot system and enjoy.
I dont like to do the wipe cache, wipe dalvik whatever method, the zip 1.5 does a full wipe all on its own. Its an EXT4 Wipe so I use it for all EXT4 ROMS that I like to try out.
!!!WARNING: When you flash the full wipe do not exit recovery without installing your ROM. So make sure that when you enter into recovery thru Rom Manager to reflash make sure that you have both (Full Wipe Zip) and (Your ROM Zip) on your SD Card before installing.
I tried cyanogen and completed hated it. Absolution is the Bomb!!! But to each their own flavor.
ENJOY

@reponse
First off, thank you for the responses!
@MMM-BACONSTRIPS
I do not know if the rom is OCed or UVed(had to look up those). Here's the link to the page where I downloaded it from. Also, I did not check the md5 numbers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965342
So far today it hasn't froze on me. However, if it does it again I'll def look at some different roms (absolution & puregandroid)
@Reinaldo33897
I did full wipe(I don't remember if the version was 1.5) before I installed the rom. If anything. I'll try absolution and puregandroid.

Not a problem man! Be aware though with the 1.5 wipe that it DOES format your system and data to EXT4, and if I'm not mistaken if you make a back-up on EXT 4 and then format back to EXT 3, it will not work and the same applies for vice versa. If you do end up trying Absolution just drop on by the Q & A if the freezing problem persists, I or one of the devs will try to give you hand the best we can..feel free to PM if you go with Absolution

So does the 1.5 wipe SDCard also? will EXT4 end up being a problem? Also, will do! I really appreciate the help!
I'll def give absolution a shot!

No, if you use the full wipe it pretty much just does the wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache in one flashable zip. I typically use the 1.5 then wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. It is completely overkill and really not necessary but I do it just the same. No, EXT4 should no cause a problem. I'm pretty sure that almost all the ROMs are now EXT4 supported. I believe it would say it if it wasn't at this point. I know the major ROMS (ARHD, CD, Bindroid, MIUI) are all compatible with EXT4. The only issues you will find with EXT4 is the issue I mentioned in my first post and if you want to use gene's tool to unroot.

Welcome to xda and yes I had the same problem I was setting up setcpu and I sneezed and I accidentally pushed it all the way over to 1.9 and my phone didn't like it it just froze...I was worried :/ so I turned my phone back on and went into setting and forced setcpu to close (mind you it took a few restarts lol) but yes I had let it reset itself and now it's working again I just need to remind myself to do a nandroid once a day xD hehe

No problem we are here to help each other. Usually if I want to get back to EXT3 I just flash the rooted ATT gingerbread ROM (PD98 zip) in hboot.

I believe there is a 1.3 wipe that formats to ext 3 again, just in case the OP wanted to format to ext3 before flashing a new ROM as opposed to flashing a new rom and then having to wipe and then flash again.

Cool Thx I'll do s search for the 1.3. It be good to have.

[SKY] ICS visual voicemail

okay so i tried to redo the phone with the non FAUX SKY rom and i have tried it a couple of different ways, but i have lost visual voicemail. And as stupid as this is i dont know how to take an app listed on the page and install it to the phone. So i am sorry for my ignorant questions here. I just need to know what to do exactly in my noobdom to get back to where i had kick ass sky ICS and hopefully it not eat the battery. I went to bed at 11:30pm the other night with 62% battery and when i got up at 5:30 phone was dead lol. thanks in advanced. and i dont mind starting from scratch if i have too.

Dload and install Calibration battery app.
And follow the instructions and this will help u get good battery use.
For vvm get apk and install that.

Just flash stock rom like venom or quikwiz or tpc's rom and install this rom and this way you will have fresh start. Unless you wanna unroot and reroot again.
I would appreciate if you hit that thnx button.
Y do you wanna go stock?

when i download the update, do i install from zip or do i rename it update.zip, then in cw choose install update?

First you flash 6.75z and reboot your phone and than flash other updates. You don't have to rename anything just select "chose from internal storage" and flash the update.

[Q] A Couple (Possibly) Simple Questions

OK. So I bought this tablet the other day at a local Best Buy, and so far I am loving it. Already have it rooted and have a custom ROM installed. However, I have a couple questions that are pretty simple, but I just want to make sure before I screw it up.
1) What is the proper way to flash a rom on this tablet? I know on my phone, I have to first wipe data, then format /system, and then format /boot. I am not sure if doing the same method would be safe on this tablet or not, and I don't want to brick it by accident.
2) What is the best kernel? I am using Revolver's ROM, and am currently using the Prime OC kernel, but have also used the Blades kernel pandatest @ 1.5GHz. I tried to push it to a little over 1.6GHz on the Blades kernel and got some stability issues.
That's pretty much all I really need to know about this tablet. So far I am loving it, and won't part with it anytime soon. Thanks again for reading.

Some roms have a script that you download then flash. This script will wipe everything in your internal memory (and external I believe). Then after flashing this, you go and flash the rom you want.
Other Roms simply have you wipe data/cache just like on a phone, then flash the Rom.
I guess it depends on the developers themselves, so look at the instructions on their page.
I have found the Prime OC kernal to be the one I liked the most. Very stable, and good battery life. Also very stable at 1.4-1.5GHz
You really shouldn't have any reason to go higher then that to be honest.

I was just wondering if I go into the recovery, go into mounts and storage, and format the system and data from that, if it could damage anything crucial like the bootloader or anything. I just don't want to end up bricking, but I also want to make sure I am doing a proper full wipe when installing a new ROM.

Do not format System ever. When installing roms it will do that for you. Data is fine to format. If you are having problems with a rom you Factory reset which wipes data then wipe the cache partition.

OK. That's what I was wondering. I know on my Nexus S 4G, a full wipe makes you wipe system as well. I wasn't sure if that was safe to do on this tablet.

[Q] NS4G: How to start from scratch? And other questions...

Had a bit of trouble trying to do this last night, which resulted in a few hours lost sleep. I went formatting everything in CWM and realized after the fact, I also formatted the internal SD card. Luckily ADB worked in transferring the zip (learn something new every day).
Anyway, after all said and done, all my apps were still on the phone. This is after formatting and new ROM...
How can I truly start from scratch to make sure this new ROM is 100% fresh and free of any unnecessary apps from previous ROMs?
Also, what would be the best current radio and link to said radio?
TIA
EDIT: I had just realized the issue with Factory Reset/Wipe Data. This one I had forgot to mention as I could never use it as all options said no and the menu was not scrollable. Just decided to try and use the volume buttons and sure enough there was more to scoll to.
That said, would the following be a proper procedure to follow;
Wipe Data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache
Format: System, Data, Cache, Boot
Wipe: Dalvik then Fix Permissions
Install order: Rom first, Gapps second, Kernel last
Reboot
???

The method I follow is
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset (this takes away all your downloaded apps?
2. Wipe system/cache/dalvik (this wipes everything else)
3. Flash ROM, Gapps, Kernel
The thing with android is, even if there are some files left over from the previous ROM, they'll get overwritten with the ones from my new ROM, taking them away regardless. The reason you wipe everything to make sure there aren't any files that won't get overwritten. So basically, wipe everything and flash, and you'll have a fresh new ROM also you don't need to fix permissions after you wipe everything because they'll be no permissions to fix! Lol

I don't know it offhand but its probably somewhere on the development forums. I just noticed I said "my new rom" in my original post, I meant "the new rom" just in case you were a little confused (probably not but that would've annoyed me if I didn't address it)
