[Q] CronosX RC2.1 upgrade? - Milestone XT720 General

Hello there! I saw that CronosX rom got upgraded to RC2.1.
I was wondering if there was any fast way to upgrade 2.0 to 2.1 without loosing any apps or settings, and without wiping the phone?
Thanks for the help.

If you come from CronosX 2.0... you dont loose any app... but is recommended for all users wipping dalvik cache and normal cache...
although the launcher that brings cronox 2.1 is old ... I replace it with adw launcher ex 1.3.3.56
And couple of app, say force close... AP News and Isilo... solved with reinstall...
I tested personally....

How to back out of Bugfix patch v3 for Dexter's 1.3 ROM (stock221v13-bugfix-3)

Hi,
Ever since I applied the patch SwiftKey won't work. I was wondering if there is a way for me to unpatch the bugfix.
Thanks.
Alex
I use swiftkey no problems (running Dexter's 1.3 w/ Mioze7ae's v3 patch), both the paid version & the current beta work fine.

Use manage applications to delete all data for market, maps and youtube. Re-flash Dexter's 1.3 ROM, don't apply the patch, wipe dalvik cache. If that doesn't work, you'll probably have to do factory reset (wipe data and cache).
(I have also used an older version swiftkey without problems, I didn't like it and haven't tried the new beta)

Same here - haven't found a solution yet...
Did you guys restore system data with titanium backup? That causes problems when com from gingerbread rom ( or stock rom) to ics
Every post I've read regarding the upgrade to ICS has specifically stated to NOT restore system data from previous versions of the ROM. If you search the forums there is info on how to fix this if you've made that mistake but I believe it involves a full system wipe then re-flash.
That's too bad
Well, that's too bad
I am using a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 and there were a lot of ROMs which had exactly the same problems!
My recommendation is to look for another ROM! There are a lot of awesome ROMs :good:

I used to have frequent force closes and used alogcat to determine that it was due to running out of memory. It wasn't that my phone had insufficient memory, but the way memory was used. For me, I first increased the dalvikvm-heap size in build.prop from 32MB to 48MB and that solved the force closes. Then I downloaded and ran the V6 Supercharger script (for better memory management) and that got rid of the frequent launcher redraws. Now my phone is quick and a joy to use I think(?) ICS requires more memory than Gingerbread so maybe these fixes might work for you too. I assume your phone is rooted by the sound of it so it can be done. Good luck!

[Q] System UI keeps crashing

Hey guys,
I am currently running skyICS 4.2F6-2.6.1B and recently, my phone has been crashing alot. I am using the Touchwix UX and that has been crashing, but today the system UI has been crashing as well. I also noticed today that the battery life is significantly lower than what it normally is. The camera fails when I try to use it and the flashlight makes the system lock up.
Do I just need to reflash a new ROM? Before this, it was running perfectly. Could I just clear the cache and will that fix it?
Thanks

I would try clearing cache and dalvick first. If that doesn't solve your problem ...then full wipe & flash rom fresh . Good Luck

I would probably say reflash the ROM is the correct way to go.
**MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE ROM IN YOUR EXTERNAL MEDIA CARD PRIOR TO PERFORMING THE STEPS PROVIDED!!***
Wipe X3
format /system X3
format /data X3
format /cache X3
format /emmc X3
Then install the ROM you want to install.
On SkyICS 4.2F6, right around update 2.5 / 2.6 is when the system partition got max'd out. If you have TiBu, check your "system ROM" free space... if next to nil, you will start running into issues. Are you on the BaseR2 ROM, BaseR3, or Dragon? If BaseR2, you will need to free up some headroom on the system partition (/system/app). Search the SkyICS 4.2F6 ATT Development thread for previous posts about freeing up space on system partition (I posted on Development thread regarding this). If you're not on R2, you should have enough system partition space, and most likely this is not the cause of your problem.

I actually did run out of space when trying to move on with my updates, which is why I stopped there. I am not sure which items i could remove in the system partition so I also just left that. Any suggestions on which to get rid of?

It really depends on what apps you use / don't use. If you are on R2 safebase, and don't use "S-Voice" (since Sean added GoogleNow, he removed S-Voice from the R3 bases), start with removing it first. S-Voice is the "voicetalk.apk". I'd recommend first backing it up w/ TiBi (in case you want to restore it later), then using TiBu, uninstall S-Voice (voicetalk.apk). It's 30mb on the system partition and you can probably stop there. But if want to free up more space on system partition, SocialHub (SevenEngine.apk) is 8.5mb. I had removed 10 apps which freed plenty of space... but then at 2.8, I decided to reflash the R3 Dragon... really happy with it... no issues whatsoever.
I already removed S voice. I currently have 49.2MB free, is that good enough? Should I keep figuring what to delete? I would reflash R3 Dragon, but I just don't want to go through all the effort of recreating my home screen and my folders and such. :/ unless there is a way to save and restore that kind of thing.

49mb free should be more that sufficient to run without crashes. I think at this point your best best is to restore a recent nandroid (if you did one)... at least the last known good one where you were not encountering crashes and FCs. I use Apex Launcher which I really like, and it gives you the option to backup settings and homescreens. Other than these suggestions you might need to reflash. I'd recommend the R3 Dragon this time with the 2.8A.
Hmm... I've had similar problems when I upgraded to the OFFICIAL ICS update, and was the reason why I rooted in the first place. Now I'm running Jellybean and it's great
It looks like the I727 and ICS don't go along very well...

Is there already a Jellybean ROM for skyrocket? How stable is it?
It runs fine, but occasionally it shuts down randomly. Well, it hasnt for the past few days, but I'm keeping a close eye on everything. Also, I have no idea how to set the APN and the phone doesn't hve the right settings. I'm on Rogers and would appreciate any help
Otherwise, I really like it. The ROM is in the android development section of in the skyrocket section.

[Q] Apex Launcher crashes on every boot

I am running the CleanRom LE v4.5 ROM created by scrosler, and everything seems to be working ok (camera, radios -- using the recommended Radios and RPM from his post#2).
The ROM is very snappy and pleasant to use, and all of my previously installed apps seem to be working fine. It is basically seamless except for one problem.
I use the Apex Launcher rather than Touchwiz Home, and now every time the phone starts up (reboot or cold start), Apex Launcher crashes. This results in the OS asking once again which launcher should be the default, and Apex Launcher running through its startup sequence.
This is kind of annoying. What should I do to investigate this problem?
Zack
(p.s. I would post this in the CleanROM thread except I don't have 10 posts yet)
try rebooting to recovery and wipe your cache and dalvik cache, then fixing permissions. If that doesn't do it, I'd uninstalling then reinstall apex.

[Q] Random App Crashes - SultanXDA 4.4.4 ROM

Hi folks,
Fairly new user, have flashed a few, mainly CM (v7.2, v9).
I now have a HTC Sensation (supposedly an XE), and I've put SultanXDA's CM11-20140725 KitKat 4.4.4 ROM on it.
I'm liking it, but I get random app crashes and delays in the touchscreen (that not very often).
I installed 4ext Recovery 1.0.0.6, did a Factory Reset / Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Wipe, and then installed the ROM, followed by 4.4.4-gapps-20140811.zip.
There is no EXT partition on the SD card.
I did try the 20140811 ROM update, but I ended up with a broken setup wizard and a homescreen that was blank save for the notification drawer at the top and no buttons or icons.
The 20140725 version works nice and smooth (at least until the app crash).
Any assistance appreciated.
Cheers.
Wow. Popular thread....
So, I found how to enable Developer options in the ROM, and switched from Dalvik to ART.
The ROM sh*t itself through a couple of reboots, and.... so far, so smooth.
DSP Manager seems to have died, though. GUI works, sound just doesn't change.
