I was trying to desense hox without having to flash cleanrom etc. By mistake I moved Rosie.apk out of system/app folder and tried to change the lockscreen. This messed up the lockscreen and I was permanently locked out of the phone.
So, I did the factory reset and was able to make the phone work again.
However, default lockscreens in sense no longer work. I am able to lock/unlock but the shortcuts etc don't work.
Anyone knows how to get sense lockscreen shortcuts working again?

You probably borked something when you were deleting all those apps. You'll have to ruu back to some rom. Factory resetting does not put you phone back to normal. It simply wipes /data (all your apps and accounts) and doesn't touch /system (stuff you probably messed around with)

Move Rosie.apk back. If you deleted it you'll have to find it.

Worst case, running the RUU should fix things up, but return you to factory condition. You'll need to relock the bootloader (if unlocked) before running the RUU. And you'll need to re-root afterwards.
As you have found out, removing Sense components is risky, as they are pretty intertwined with the OS framework. Don't mess with them, unless you are following anothers instructions, or you know what you are doing and how to fix it if things get screwed up.
A safer method to experiment may be to use Titanium Backup to freeze the apps, then see how the phones behaves, before uninstalling them.

This is probably a stupid question. I just rooted my Inspire using the simple root tool. If I try some other ROMs, will I have to set everything up again? Program data seemed preserved, though I'm not sure how, but I had to place all my icons back on the home screens and set up email accounts again. I hope there's a way to switch ROMs without having to go through all this work again. I appreciate any advice!

there are different partitions on your phone. boot,system,data, and cache. if you dont format data then all your programs and settings will stay.
but if you are switching to a rom that does not have sense (ie cm7) then you must do a full wipe of everything.
Thanks! I'm really looking to try the ROMs with Sense.

Titanium backup is key.
I flashed the new Revolution 6.1.3. While installing a theme, I seem to have screwed up my clock. I have tried to flash other themes but still haven't been able to fix it. Any ideas? I don't want a darker clock, I just want the stock clock back. For now, I downloaded Fancy Widget and have it up. Picture below.
Thanks
You can try this which works for stock rom:
Settings>Applications>Manage App.>All(All Tab)>Clock>Clear Data
or
Settings>Applications>Manage App.>All(All Tab)>HTC Sense>Clear Data
I tried that with no change. I pulled a htcclockwidget.apk (something cose to that) out of a couple files on other roms and tried installing that with no luck.
Reflash Revolution.

I know that is an option, but a last resort. I don't want to go through and set everything back up. Plus, I like the theme and don't think it is normally an option with the 2.3.5 roms with the bottom bar being the way it is.

Try deleting the widget, rebooting to recovery, and clearing cache & dalvik cache. Upon boot, try adding the widget again.
Hi
I recently installed a custom ROM (CM9) on my htc sensation and I backed up most things. Thing is when I backed up my SMS I did it through the stock HTC sms app and Im trying to restore it but no apps read the file
Any ideas on what to do?
would be greatly appreciated!

try this. if it doesnt work make a new backup, then reflash your old backup from your other rom. then use the app. then flash forward to your new one and then restore
this app only reads xml files. the one htc did was just a file without any extensions so it cant be read by this
but if this has something to do with flashing the old one could you please elaborate lol, im still new to this stuff
Assuming you still have a backup of your original ROM that your messages are stored in, give this a try.

It should let you extract the SMS files from your backupROM.zip file and let you restore them to your current app. If all else fails you can manually go into the backupROM.zip file and pull the SMS database file out yourself. You can copy the .zip to your computer and just root through the .zip and pull out the part you want, copy it to your phone and BOOYA!
Try the free app first though.

OK if you still have your rom that has the the sms then you can flash it back again. Using the correct firmware of course. Then back up the SMS with the app in my post above. Then reflash your current rom again (the one that needs the SMS) then run the app again and choose restore
or, use the method above
Both should work

ok i think ive messed up. basically i tried flashing the stock kernel so i can go back to the original rom. but when i reboot it just sticks on the htc boot screen (not the one where it says quietly brilliant, just htc) i tried flashing the other kernel back but still nothing. im actually stressing out here cant believe ive messed this up.
ok ive managed to get it back to the old ROM and im backing up my sms right now. damn that scared the crap outta me. but this whole flashing roms and such has been fun and ive learnt a lot. thank you all of the help

I know you've got your old ROM running fine now, but for future reference don't bother flashing the kernel for a backup. When you make a nandoid backup the kernel is included with it, so when you restore it the kernel is restored automatically.
Now in case you meant that you flashed firmware so you could go back to your old rom, then yeah...you may have to do that if you're switching between Gingerbread and ICS roms. But if you're switching between two ICS roms then odds are that your firmware is already 3.32 or 3.33 for both and you don't have to switch it.
I've treid to flash both CM9 & CM10 and it worked, exept that ΒΌ of my apps won't start. They start for one second, and then, the show either an FC message or just close without any message. I've tried to wipe the data for some apps, but that don't change anything. The apps are restored with TitaniumBackup. I've always returned back to ViperS because of that problem, so does anybody now how to get rid of that problem and make the apps run again?

Some apps dont work with backup programs because they tether themselves to the device ID. That way they can't be passed around to multiple phones and have to be downloaded fresh for all users.
When you flash a new rom the device id changes, so the app thinks its on a new phone.
Titanium has an option to revert to a previous device id in the paid version.
Still, a quarter of your apps seems like alot. If you are trying to restore system apps that's a whole different issue. System apps dont transfer well.
And any sensed based apps from Viper will simply never work in CM. Ever. That is probably the bulk of your problem apps im guessing.

Yes! Gapps is flashed. I do only restore user apps .. I'll try to find the device id option and try again

I recently flashed CandyKat to play around with something different and decided to restore a backup of a stock deodexed Radavs Rom. After restoring I no longer have the AT&T 4G LTE icon. It is now an international 4G icon. I reflashed the Rom over top of the restore, but it had no effect. Is there a way to change the icon with the framework? If it matters I updated TWRP to 2.7.0.1 to flash CandyKat.
Did you ever actually have the at&t icon? The ROM by Radavs is a Telstra ROM so it uses the global standard icons.

I've always had the AT&T icon. Even when I flashed the Rom originally I still kept AT&T icons. It jumped out at me as soon as I restored the Rom. I'm going to flash back to the older twrp and then restore to see if it reverts back.

That confirms something I read a while back. All icon sets are included in the ROMs, and then the appropriate sets are displayed depending on your locality or carrier. I'm not sure that changing recovery will work but it's worth a try.

went back to 2.6.3, but to no avail. How is it possible to do a backup and then restore the backup, but somehow get a different set of data icons? Wouldn't know where I could flash a zip to get the ATT icons back would you? I really hate the look of the international icons.
I'm not sure exactly what the trigger is for which icons are being used, but it seems as if that trigger isn't working for you. It would seem logical that you should have the same icons as when you made your backup, but if they're taken care of on an at-boot basis that wouldn't be the case. In theory you could flash a ROM in Australia, turn it off, fly to America, boot it up, and have different icons. This is only speculation of course. As far as getting them back goes, I'm not sure, sorry.

Last question due to my OCD. I have S-Off, Unlocked Bootloader and SCID, can I run one of the latest ATT JB RUUs without needing to do anything beforehand and then reinstall TWRP and gain root access? I wouldn't mind reverting back to maybe give the phone a scrub, but I like having root access for some of the apps I use.
Yes you can run any Evita RUU, and you don't need to do anything first. Afterwards it's as simple as flashing TWRP again, and superuser or SuperSU for root.
