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.

yeah its the same really dialer is better though....... calibrate compass bug no fix yet......
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!

You also have to be rooted and have installed Koush's recovery bootstraper, which can be had either in the market for a donation or from here http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/08/droid-x-recovery.html. For root instructions, see the stickied threads about rooting

+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.

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.

Good point. +1 for now.
Thats it... A simple (but I want to do it without bricking my $600 phone) ROM flash.
This is the ROM I would like to install:
Stock Sense - 1.13.605.7 Basic DeBloat
Thank you. I give up trying to get help in IRC. Waste of time (except for Dr_Drache, he was very helpful)).
what part do you need help on? are you rooted?
yes, I am already rooted. I had a major malfunction in BAMF 1.6.3 this a.m. when a battery went dead. I replaced the battery and the phone went nuts... So I unrooted the phone and then re-rooted. I couldnt get help in the IRC channel to install this ROM I am asking about so I thought I would try to get some help here.
Thanks for replying.
I am not seeing the question here... Do you have rom manager installed? You could install simply from there. That's how I did my initial rom install.

Don't use Rom manager. Download the Rom. Reboot into recovery using Rom manager. Make a backup if you want. Wipe data. Wipe cache. Go to advanced. Wipe davlik cache and battery stats. Go to install zip from SD and select your Rom. When its done reboot.

I'm still not sure what the question is here...but i'll lay some steps out for you.
FIRST AND FOREMOST: HAVE AMPLE BATTERY CHARGE!! I don't flash with anything less than 50%. If you do, then continue at your own risk.
1. Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081930 and pick out a ROM you think that you would like. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANY GINGERBREAD ROMS. These are still in ALPHA.
2. After you have the ROM downloaded, plug your phone into you computer and put the ROM anywhere on your sd-card. I made a new folder called ROMs and put all my ROMs in there. This keeps things tidy.
3. THIS IS OPTIONAL, but saves you a lot of time in the future. Download Titanium Backup. I would HIGHLY recommend the PRO option. Costs money now, but will save you hours in the future. This program needs root. It will backup all your apps with their data so when you switch ROMs, everything is restored easily and fairly quickly. If you go with this approach, then open TB and backup all USER APPS with DATA. DO NOT BACK UP SYSTEM APPS!!!
4. If you do not have Rom Manager, Download it now. Free is fine. Open up Rom Manager and make sure you have the latest Clockwork Recovery installed. If you don't, then install it. If everything is fine, click the option to boot into recovery. While some people use RM to install the ROMs, I find its better to do it manually.
5. When in Clockwork, go to backup and restore(hit power or home button to choose highlighted option). Choose Backup and let it do its thing.
6. When done, press the menu key until it goes to the main menu.
7. Choose Wipe data/factory reset and let it wipe the data. Do not worry, this will not touch your sd-card. All your pictures, movies, music, ROMs, and everything else on the sdcard will still be there.
8. Go into install zip from sdcard and choose "choose zip from sdcard"
9. Navigate to where you put your ROM from STEP 2
10. Choose the ROM and let it do its thing
11. Press Menu button to go back to main screen and REBOOT
12. ALLOW LOTS OF TIME TO LOAD UP. First boot always takes a long time, dont worry about it.
13. When booted up, ALLOW EVERYTHING TO LOAD. Now enjoy your ROM.
14. If you used Titanium Backup, get it from the market(if it isn't pre-installed). If you payed for it, you won't have to pay for it again as long as you use the same GMAIL account that you used before. All paid apps are saved to your gmail account. Restore all USER APPS with DATA. NOT SYSTEM APPS!
I am by no means a dev or claim to be a genius. I've been around since when the OG droid first came out and I'm just helping out. I am not responsible if something goes wrong. If anyone see's a mistake in this, please point it out or add a step if you want.

Thanks for the replies. For not knowing what the question was, it sure was answered pretty thoroughly.
I did buy Ti Pro a while back and use it a lot. That should be no problem once I figure out why I am not rooted now. I did the whole routine yesterday and Ti cant get su for some reason now.... yay for that. I guess I will try the whole thing again. (It may be that I need to get the proper busybox for Ti Pro to work and be allowed su)
So if I have read this correctly, I will be alright with the debloat ROM I mentioned earlier right? Since it is not gingerbread based right?
oastl: You said don't use ROM Manager then after one sentence you then say to use ROM Manager.... Using ROM Manager to boot into recovery must be a different thing altogether I suppose...

If you're using CWR (which i think is the only option these days?) you totally can. Just choose "install from SD card" and it'll let you navigate your folders. I have a neatly organized "RUU" folder on my SD card. Certain things like radios need to pushed as pg05img.zip on the root of the SD card.

Well, with all the help, I did manage to get everything back as it should be. Thanks a lot for that too!
I got super tired of trying to get someone to answer me in IRC. I think I will just come here with my questions from now on and leave that place to those who have the patience for it.
I also got too used to BAMF I think because I ended up flashing to 1.7 anyway... 2.0 looks really good. I think that is still in Beta or I read the post wrong altogether...
First post... let me itroduce myself first.
I'm Stu....I've been lurking here for years and finally unlocked my first phone!
I'm currently using the SideKick4g, and this foru was a HUGE help in the unlocking process. Thanks!!!
I think I may have gotten a little crazy with the deleting, however. Everything is running fine at this point other than when I try to change ring/notification settings. Trying to access things gives me a force close every time.
I'm guessing I deleted something crucial. Anybody know what it may have been and how I can go about fixing this and/or getting around the situation? Will a simple program such as ringdroid replace whatever I got rid of? Shold I just flash a custom ROM?
Thanks in advance guys!
Stu
Let me add that I rooted with SuperOneClick, and used RootExplorer for ditching my bloatware. Hope that helps a little!
Stu
What did you remove? Ringtones are stored in /system/media/, do they just not show up when trying to set it, or does something else happens? Are you missing your stock ringtones, or just your custom ones?
When I go to settings>sound...selecting eithr phone ringtone or notification ringtone causes my force close.
I think maybe I deleted my system/media thinking it was the stock media player
Not that I'm too bummed about it. The stock rings are all just crappy versions of the "T-jingle".
I'd just like to be able to change stuff up
Well, looks like you took a risk and it came back to bite you. Reflash your ROM and try again.
Well...there's where the problem lies. I've never flashed a ROM. I'm sure I can handle it....just never done it.
And if I do need to flash a new ROM anyways, I feel like I should just flash a custom ROM. The gingerclone looks pretty nice. Does this delete my original ROM all together in the process? Are custom ROMs free of bloat?
That will wipe everything, so you should make a backup beforehand. yes, custom roms are almost always free of bloat, GingerClonev2 is only 124MB, where the stock rom is over 200MB. There are a few issues we're still working out, but it's pretty steady. otherwise, Teddy is releasing an update to an older ROM sometime soon as well, so I'd be on the lookout for that.
Okay cool. I'm gonna do some quick research and figure out how to do this.
What's the best way to save my original ROM to my desktop on my computer?
I'm just worried about killing my phone completely at this point.....
If you have CWM, use the backup menu, which uses Nandroid to backup everything by dumping everything on your phone into images. This all dumps onto your SDcard in the clockworkmod folder.
You can't brick your phone using CWM, you can only do that using ODIN, and only if you're not following directions/being intentionally stupid
Okay cool....downloading ROM Manager right now. I'm sure I'll post back with a few questions shortly!
Once the CWM/ROM manager has backed everything up....i should be able to copy the backup to my desktop? same thing with installing a new ROM
? Desktop to SD card?
BAhhhhhh.
I clicked on backup current rom and sent it into recovery mode.
Sorry about my lack of knowhow. Hopefully this all helps some others as well.....
I guess my biggest questions right now.... how do I get my original rom to a folder on my desktop, and once I download gingerclone, how do i move that from my desktop to sd to running it?
Yeah, copy the clockworkmod folder from your sdcard to your desktop, that'll copy everything off. I wouldn't suggest Rom Manager, many people have problems with that CWM. Look in the Dev forum for the CWM thread, and use that one.
In recovery mode, there should be a backup and restore menu. use the backup option, and then copy the clockworkmod folder from your sdcard to your desktop. that's your backup.
Okay. I plugged in my phone to the computer, and dragged a copy of the entire clockworkmod folder to my desktop.
Gingerclone is downloaded. Drag it to my SD? anywhere specific? or just on it?
On my desktop now is: folder/download, .recoverychecpoint(1KB), .salted_hash(1KB), .settings(1KB), and .settings2(1KB)
This is my backup correct?
I lost rom manager/root explorer.
After clearing stuff out and rebooting...it rebooted to the original rom with none of my added apps.
Can't download anything either at this point.
HELP!
Download manager keeps stopping and forces closed.
I reboot into recovery...and my options are:
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
If I try to reinstall packages, I get" E: failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip(no such file or directory)
E: signature verification failed.
I'm in over my head now. Anyone out there maybe wanna help walk me thorough this on AIM or google chat or anything?
Which rom did you flash?
I tried flashing yours....but nothing. It's on my SD card right now
It just boots up to the original sidekick home/os.
You probably need to reroot or another update. Zip
Edit: actually what it sounds like you did was something similiar to what i did with a samsung galaxy s i deleted a bunch of apps and the i did a data wipe and factory restore without flashing my custom firmware through cwm and when it factory resetted it was real buggy from all the missing apps so u will have to odin

Please bear with me and my noob questions. I have a rooted and unlocked Infuse 4 G. At the moment I am using t mobile monthly 4 g unlimited pre paid.
I have never done anything to the phone besides using the bml3.bk file in the hex editor to unlock the phone. I have some apps installed, and I have installed titanium back up but have not ran any back ups.
I have read the instructions but I am still confused and worried I might brick my phone. I do not have any warranty on it.
I have had others tell me that the Infused 2.1.0 and infusion 1.1 kernel running 1.6ghz would be the best way to go.
And that CMW recovery is the safest way to install it.
It says not to back anything up with titanium recovery. Does that mean that I will lose all of my apps? Or that I will lose all of my contacts or progress in apps, such as games and kindle books?
Will I lose my APN settings?
Also if I have not backed anything up, what happens if I make a mistake in the installation? Is there a way to get my stock settings back?
Also, just to be sure, I would download the zip files directly to my phone, from my phone correct? Just making sure I do not download them to my PC and then transfer them to my sd card.
Also what about the updates and beta versions? Should I use the most updated file or an older one?
Also, I do use facebook, so I can reinstall that after the ROM is installed?
I really appreciate the help and patience with all my questions.
Export your contacts to your SD card.
Myself, I backed up my apps, then restored apps & data.
(note: do "NOT". restore system data)
The apps that you have can be redownloaded if need be.
Yes to Facebook.
My suggestion would be to just install the Infused 2.1.0 first. Get used to it before going in deeper.
Yes, you can download or transfer the Infused 2.1.0 to your SD card and install from there.
Go directly to Infused 2.1.0. No need to install the beta's.
I'd say that the safest & easiest way to install Infused 2.1.0, is by using Rom Manager, especially if you're new at this.

Thank you! Is it better to download the zip files directly to sd card using my phone or using the PC? And is it safe to use titanium back up to back up the apps? And I guess I am just confused.

Im sorry, Im sure I seem like an idiot, but I want to make sure I am clear on what to do......thank you so much!
Also If I do not back up my stock system, will I be able to go back to stock if something messes up?

I downloaded them to PC and transfered them sd. Yes, its safe to backup apps with titanium, when you go to reinstall them, just restore apps and data, NOT system data. Just back all of them up, you can restore each that you want later. Just read all the installation instructions a couple of times until you understand the process. Once you do it, you'll realize its not hard. Install the ROM first, then, the kernel. If you do brick your phone, you can use Odin-to-Stock to return the phone to its stock. You'll be glad you upgraded to a custom ROM, its much faster. Only downfalls on Infused 2.1.0, (latest version) is that there is no HDMI support, and the video recording is not 30fps like it should be, but these problems will be fixed soon.
Do NOT run Infusion (or any other overclock/undervolt kernel) until you're perfectly satisfied with the stability of the ROM in question without the modded kernel.
Overclock/undervolt kernels can cause instability that may be misdiagnosed as a ROM bug.

True, only reason I say this is because they work great together. But he's right, once you install you may not like the ROM or something else, like have problems with it. You can install the kernel anytime. You will need a overclock app like voltage control or setcpu in order to get it overclocked.

so as i previously posted, i flashed cm7 and lost all google apps. so i downloaded a android market apk file for android to get it back and it worked. now when i select the market app on my homescreen, its says " you must add an accout to the device to continue. do you want to add one now?" so when i click "yes" it closes and goes back to my homescreen. whats going on now. i dowloaded the file from multiupload and it installed perfectly. it seems once i get one problem fixed i run into another. any help would be much appreciated. thanx.
Have you tried flashing the gapps?
havent found one that worked yet. ideas?

Go to menu, settings, applications, manage applications and erase all data. Then try again. If that does not work uninstall the apk file you downloaded and try installing a new one from www.RCmix3D.blogspot.com

Here ya go ....
Download and flash the universal gapps package ...(for CM7)(top of page in the center )
just click the link ,and the file will download right to your device .
then boot to recovery and flash it just like the rom ....dun
Happy flashing ....g
ok i downloaded the link to my device, now once im in recovery mode, what do i select? do i install zip from sd card? or wipe data/factory reset or what. i just dont wanna **** anything up lol. sorry im a total noob to this.
and when i bring the gapps up in ROM manager, a window thats says " rom pre-installation comes up. and has 1. backup existing rom, 2.wipe data and cache, and 3. wipe dalvik cache. the third is the only one selected. do i need to change any of this?
Install zip from SD card, it could be in the download section of your SD card. That's where mine was.
I.didn't wipe anything when I did it and I turned out OK. But if you get bootloops, pull the battery, boot back into recovery and wipe everything then install.
Btw I'm still learning but its a fun learning experience.

Well it seems like my last post wasnt learned from so now I have to repost it again.
This is the second thread you have opened without searching even after I advised you to do so. a search for "google apps on cyanogen" took me to this
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
As per your posts your new so please spend a few hours reading up before doing anything like running a CM based rom as there are things that only effect CM based roms.
Use recovery to flash things not rom manager (didnt know that was even still used lol)
hell, you didnt even have to leave XDA to find the information....ya know, since its in the FIRST EFFING POST on the CM thread.....
