[Q] viperone s 2.2 super clunky... - HTC One S

Let me start by saying I love the viper one rom, it's clean, fast, and the tweak setup is super easy and quick.
With that said, I'm extremely disappointed in the newest update from 2.1 to 2.2. After updating my phone runs slower then the stock default phone, contacts, and sms messaging apps take 3 times as long to load when it was instant before. All of my other complaints are aesthetic ado I won't ramble on about that.
Why is it so clunky of an update? Am I missing a peace to streamline it? Can I stop it from showing the "new update" notification because I sure don't want to use 2.2
would have posted this to the Rom thread but I don't have the permission due to being new. Thanks for any input!

Go to settings -> personalize -> skin and "reuse" the HTC Skin. (second entry in the personalize settings)
That fixed the problem for me, now it's not that buggy anymore.
Maybe you also want to clear the cache/app data from the Venom Tweaks/HUB Apps in the settings if you still have some bugs, that could also help. (settings -> apps -> all apps (tabs on the bottom, last one) -> Venom Tweaks -> clear data & clear cache)
If you would have searched in the main thread of the ROM you would have found this solution For example in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39160456&postcount=4239
(I also searched some time to get the solution but as you see I found one)

Yeah I tried all those fixes with no luck, I'm a programmer so I have no problem digging around in the system. I rolled back the Rom and its back to running smith, looks like I'll just have to wait tell the next update and hope its solved.
Thanks for the input though

Go back to 2.1 and download sense 5 add on from HUB
apply.
Reboot.
Change skin to new sensation.
change status bar icon to Bluez
change Rosie icons to sense 5.
Reboot.
Download ota 2.2 Update.
Flash.
Reboot.
Clear data in venom tweaks app.
You should be all good.
Ive done it this way a few times and newer had any problems.

CM6 Extender - gapps, Snap Kernel, Keyboards, and more. In one flash! CM6 Add-on

CM6 Extender was put together to enhance CM6 with a few small tweaks, but not make any major changes to the UI. Everything included can be found around the xda-developers forums, or directly from the developer, for free. I just combined them into a single zip that can be flashed in place of the GAPPS zip when installing CM6. Changes to stock CM6 below.
Includes all latest Google Apps (GAPPS)
Removed Facebook/Twitter (because they are easily found/updated in the market, makes sure you always have latest version)
Removed ADW Launcher, Replaced with LauncherPro 0.7.6.0
Replaced kernel with CM6-Snap-v7.4-havs875/OC/UV http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733099
Added SNAP-widget by spiicytuna to manage/monitor it
Replaced Default Keyboard with Droid-X Multitouch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754948 (White with green highlights)
Creates a folder in your SD card with installers for Swype 1.61 and HTC Sense KB with 2.2
Added ES File explorer (To install those keyboards)
Added MSL Reader (Donate to the dev link within app)
Added Flashlight Alerts by apristel (not enabled by default, Donate to dev by purchasing from market) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699978
Added Sprint TV
I will update Snap kernel once the 8.0 battery issue is solved.
Please donate to the CyanogenMod team at http://www.cyanogenmod.com/
Recommended Instructions:
1. Back that NAND up!
2. Do a full data wipe from recovery.
3. Flash CM6 (update-cm-6.0.0-Supersonic-signed.zip)
4. Flash CM6_Extender.zip
5. Reboot, enjoy
Updated: Moved LauncherPro to Data folder due to stability problems having it in the RO System folder. Also moved ES File explorer and Sprint TV to data folder so you can uninstall them if you want. (You can also download ADW launcher from the market and uninstall LauncherPro).
Also added a bunch of wallpapers to the SD card folder. A bunch of CM wallpapers plus the Galaxy S Wallpapers (all static)
New download link below.
Download Link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FHWJYYWV
If you use Firefox like me and want some sweet Chrome to phone action, go here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161941/
You should also grab SetCPU to take advantage of the new kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...6&d=1278385677
Should work with both RA and ClockworkMod Recoveries!
If you find any bugs or know of something cool I need to add, post it below! Thanks!! Also, if someone could provide a better mirror, that would be awesome!

Well I have no feedback because I'm all configured. It may be useful when I start messing around again.
Also, I just like my open source ADW. But this is a great idea. Thanks for the contribution. I will give this a try later.

Was it a syntax error by chance? I've gotten that a few times. Been trying to figure out a permanent fix.. will re-upload when fixed..
EDIT: I think I've got it. Updating with Snap 8.1, then a new upload coming.
EDIT again: Snap 8.1 is causing a ton of boot loops for me. I'll try and fix this tomorrow night :/
After reboot, I get the HTC screen and then nothing. Have to remove battery to get anything to work again (at which point, the same scenario occurs unless I boot into recovery mode).
Never mind - I just realized this was for EVO's only. I'm using the Hero.
sucks i cant run 875 but i can run 8.1 900 for some odd reason when i try to flash the other kernel over the extender its gets a error after the intial setup page and screen goes black then i restart it and get bootloop... o well i really just want the keyboard i found it though thanks is there a way to remove adw launcher and use launcher pro?
nevermind...
When are you putting the updated version, with the 8.1 kernel. I'm waiting.

The new Snap 8.1 kernel was EXTREMELY unstable for both me and my gf, so I'm skipping this version. I'm going to try the one he posted earlier today without HAVS and see if it works any better. It would boot loop every 30 seconds...
I'll also put in the new google voice with widgets while I'm at it.

I actually put in hulu in the beginning and it didn't work.. I couldn't figure out why after a good amount of tinkering, so I took it out.. Perhaps I'll give it another try soon.
I am having an issue. I am trying to install MyBackup Pro to restore my settings and apps from my CM6 nightly ROM and every time it starts to install the app, the phone locks up and shows the cyanogenmod loading screen and then launcherpro restarts. Any ideas?
Changing the wallpaper also locks it up. It was stuck in a loop where the launcher was crashing out to the cyanogenmod screen and then wouldn't start and then back to the cyanogenmod screen. This lasted for about 3 minutes.
Well, I tried reflashing it and now I'm worse off than I was. Can't get past the setup step. Keeps boot looping then crashing. I have been using this thing for 20 min and have already had more force closes than I have the last week and a half on my previous nightly. I give up.
Benjio12 it looks like you are attempting to simplify my life. Thank you for the tweeks I'll make sure to ck it out and follow this thread.
8.2 kernel and battery life?
Do you know if the new 8.2 kernel has resolved the battery issues and if so would you be willing to make an updated zip?

I'm also running into similar issues except launcherpro doesn't restart and cyanogenmod load screen loops
Ok I installed this patch and after placing the widget my phone became laggy and the HTC dialer will not install.
I'm running a clean slate of cm6.0 but it doesn't install. I even dropped it in system/apps/. The droidx installs, its the default when you first boot.

[ROM] OmegaEVO v1.1 [[NEW 3.30.651.3 OTA]] [[Froyo 2.2]] Updated 11/15/2010

For my new ROM please go HERE
Installation instructions & other useful information
To install on your Evo:
1. Copy OmegaEVO_v1.0_by_Ricsim78.zip to the root of your SD card.
2. Shut off your phone and boot into recovery.
3. Do a full wipe (Data, cache, Dalvik, SD Ext.) Do it twice to be sure if you want to!
4. Install OmegaEVO_v1.0_by_Ricsim78.zip. It should take a few minutes to install.
5. Reboot the phone. It should take a long time to start up the first time. Please be patient!
6. If all goes well, enjoy your new ROM!
7. If not, start over from step 2 after pulling your battery.
To install a custom kernel: Let the ROM load up first and then reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. Then install the custom kernel and reboot.
To install a theme: Let the ROM load up first and then reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. Then install the theme and reboot.
How to backup and restore using Titanium backup Here is the method I use to backup my phone information before I wipe and install a new ROM
I backup my entire phone with a batch "Backup all user apps + system data"
Wipe and install the new ROM,
I open Titanium Backup (TB) and give it super user rights.
I hit "Updates?" in TB and make sure I am running the latest.
I hit "Problems?" in TB and make sure I am using Busybox 1.60
Hit menu and select batch
Select "Backup all new apps + newer versions of apps", if any.
Select "Restore missing apps with data"
Go over the list and make sure you are restoring only what you want
Hit run batch operation
After it completes, go back into TB and backup restore.
Restore contacts twice
Restore MMS twice
Restore Mail twice
If any of the 3 above do not take, do it again
Restart your phone
Verify mail, MMS, and contacts restored. If not, restore again.
Why Amon RA and not Clockwork recovery?
Clockwork does not wipe the Dalvik properly (if at all). I personally have had nothing but problems with both Clockwork and ROM manager
I have said countless times that if you use either of the above, it is at your own risk. Install Amon RA recovery and I bet any wiping/installing problems will go away.
If you already are using ROM manager, pick the option to install a custom recovery, choose Amon RA 1.8. If that option is greyed out, reinstall the latest Clockwork then install RA.
Note: Do not do a fix permissions with anything unless you need to, you can screw stuff up that way.
Trust me, the new ROM is devoid of problems (I have never tested a ROM this much before releasing it). If you experience any, it is either something you are doing wrong or incomplete wipes thanks to your recovery not doing it's job properly.
What is the proper method to install the ROM and other things (kernels, themes, and mods, etc.)
Lets say you want to add a kernel, a theme, and then a clock modification.
Nandroid first!
ROM: Wipe data, cache, Dalvik (twice), SD:EXT.
Install the ROM.
Let the ROM load up the first time.
Sign into your Google account
Let it sync
When the sync icon goes away, reboot into recovery.
In recovery, wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the theme
Reboot
Let it load all the way up again.
Reboot into recovery
In recovery, wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the kernel
Reboot
Let it load all the way up again.
Reboot into recovery
Wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the clock MOD
Reboot
This is my method and works every time without issue. Obviously, to install another item, you would repeat the process.
Hope this both helps and clarifies.
Which kernels work with this ROM?
Any that are designed for a Sense ROM. This includes:
Netarchy's
Kingclick's
Hero Over's
Ziggy's
HTC's
Which kernel do you recommend to use?
I cannot recommend a kernel for you because each EVO reacts different. The best for my phone can be the worse for yours.
You have to try the different ones available and pick the one that works best for you. What I do is start with their latest and work your way down until you find one that works well. Then stick with it.
This also goes for overclocking, SetCPU settings, etc.
Which themes work with this ROM?
Themes make your phone look nice but can also add problems to an otherwise smooth running ROM. You can use any theme you wish, but Nandroid first and if anything is broken, please do not blame the ROM as it is the theme that added the problem.
This includes my older modded themes and any theme made for 3.29 and 3.30 OTA updates They may work or they may work but break things.
Using my theme avoids this problem. It matches with my ROM perfectly and breaks nothing. Also, my theme is optimized for maximum speed and reduces the overhead of a theme (most themes are not optimized and add a bunch of stuff which increases system overhead, reduces battery life and speed a bit). As an added perk, it is a small download.
Hey, what gives? How come this ROM is saying it is 3.30.651.2 when I thought it was the 3.30.651.3 OTA?
3.30.651.3 is NOT a full ROM, it is a kernel and a few other minor changes. This is why the OTA is 7 MB or less instead of 160+ MB like a ROM usually is.
There is no issue, this is the 3.30.651.3 update. Hence the HTC # 17 kernel. Notice the screenshot in the first post also says that mine has 3.30.651.2? That is because basically this is a bandaid for a recently released OTA. That is why the number went up in the last decimal place. A major update would be like 3.31.XXX.X
sounds good, any screenies?
Screenshots available soon. 10 char

Well, without recooking it or using a theme (which would take out my wallpapers) no. Let me see if I can come up with a better solution. If not I will re-cook it with a different battery icon.
EDIT: Replacement battery indicator included in the first post for anyone who does not like the circle battery indicator the ROM is cooked with.

That was how this ROM was born, I liked almost all of the ones on the board, but none had the ringtones, notifications, or wallpapers I wanted.
Problem solved! Glad to see it is working for everyone as well. I had no problems with this ROM, think it helps that it is based off the OTA and not a custom ROM.
I will keep this ROM updated. Future plans is to come up with a Sense removed, AOSP element version and add more customizations. I also need to update some of the apps (TB, to name one). I kept some of the stock Sprint stuff in just so no one had problems updating the Voicemail or other Sprint apps left in.
Please rate the thread and let me know if there is anything I should include, change, etc. etc.

Sounds good man, hehe. Please let me know what you think and I hope you like this ROM.
I begin work on the next version of Azrael today, expect version 2.1 out soon, By Wednesday I should have it tested out and ready to go.
Known changes I am going to be making:
-all apps updated
-battery indicator changed to Smooth battery with percentage (far more useful than the one Azrael 2.0 is cooked with and so far the only complain heard about this ROM) *knock on wood*
-Another custom wallpaper or 3 thrown in for good measure
Whatever changes I make, I will of course note them in the release notes.
I also want to get some more theme options available, maybe modify some themes so they do not take out my custom wallpapers. That way you can make this ROM more how you want it to be as well.
I really hope everyone who tries this likes it, I know I am up there with some really good ROM makers here that have far more reputation, but so far everything has been positive and I hope that at least a few people find my work useful.
Lastly, I am glad to offer another ROM option and give back to a community that has given me much.

[APP] Newest MIUI Music .apk (4/11/11)

Hey here's a link to another thread with the newest MIUI Music .apk (4/11/11)
Here
Only issue I've noticed is when you go into the settings, if you try to scroll down to see "Filter files", it force closes the app. Hopefully someone can come up with a fix, but everything else seems to work so, enjoy! - zmag
(P.S. Show me some love and hit the THANKS button!)
Cool stuff I'm running it now with CM7 Final. I've always liked the MIUI music app.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
awesome, thanks. Now how do I remove the other one? CM7
Anyone know where there is an installable apk?
alaman68: you can remove the original cm7 music .apk from system/app with Root Explorer (or a similar app to access the system files...) or you can move it to the system folder or SD card in case you want it again.
nhutpham: as far as I know, you can NOT just click on the .apk and "Install" it. The link I posted has pretty specific directions to install it with Root Explorer. Just make sure you set the permissions like in the pic before you reboot, or it won't show up in the app drawer.
If you're still having trouble lemme know. - zmag
Pushed it to /system/app on my Sense ROM and it doesn't show up in the app drawer. Did a hot restart and a full reboot. No app icon and no widget.
I have tried the exact instructions twice, but the app didn't appear in the app drawer either time. I'm on a sense based rom using Launcher Pro, MIUI music hasn't been previously installed on the current rom I'm using.
The previous MIUI apk's have been installable, I might just wait till another one shows up.
hey, thanks again. I'm getting weird force close when I open the settings and try to scroll down to search file size. Does anyone have any idea how the change these parameters?
Wont work for me either... followed the instructions to a tee

Works great for me, other than the FC bug when you scroll down in settings. Installed with Root Explorer.

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I am not sure, but I think I am just having bad luck. It crashes every time I go into the settings (as soon as I hit the button). I had to reboot just to get it out of notification bar.
Well, to the people getting force closes in the settings: I did state that in my original post lol... but yeah, not a huge deal imo. I think the coding for Filter Files (where if you try to display that section in the settings, it force closes) because its codependency relies on a MIUI-specific library. I am running this on CM7 Final, and everything works ok except that section of the settings.
And to the best of my knowledge, MIUI is built on Gingerbread (2.3) and won't work on Sense based roms (sorry Sense users)
And big ups to Magnus for the update.zip for people who couldn't get it to install.

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.
HellFire Sandwhich (CM9) Rom stuff/mods/updates:
These are also all flashable via CWM unless otherwise noted.:

Ok, I FINALLY have finished the initial release of Glasstopia Theme for HFS v1.4. Thanks a lot to kasara for helping me out with compiling issues of Contacts.apk (Themers shouldn't have to work with source )!
Yes the blue flames are in it.....but I left instructions for how to removed them in my Q&A section at the top of that OP
Here's the link

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.

No, you should be fine with just cache and dalvik. I also fix permissions after getting everything set up.

I tried moving to HFS from SK3 I used g2x scrubber 3 times and manually cleaned the system caches and dalvik, but when I booted up the rom it still had my old wallpaper and some settings from before. Is that normal?

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....
Thanks for the quick response!

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...

parsing errors on swype

I have asked this question in the eyecandy ice cream sandwich thread but no one has said anything. evertime i try to load swype from the beta invite email it goes all the way until i hit to 'fetching swype beta download' then you pic 'swype beta' then is says "parse error, there is a problem parsing the package".
i have even loaded up sense roms and any rom i flash it always says the same thing. every time i flash a rom i run a "wipe sensation" program thengo thru the usual data wipe, cache wipe, them flash rom, then go back and wipe dalvic cache and fix permissions. same combo i have been doing for a year or so.
does anyone have any insight to this problem? I really miss not having swype.

It's not just you man. I've been trying this for days. I'm on an HTC sensation running elegancias sense 4. I have no idea what's up with it. Not having swype sucks
Did you try pushing it to system/app?
have not tried it on your ROM, but on the MIUI v4, this worked for me.
Its a flashable swype.

I was getting this error with other apks when my memory card was corrupt. Try a different memory card maybe?
This was happening for me a few days ago. Then resolved itself, however it has started again. It's not only you. A lot of people are reporting it on their forums.

Hi I am running ordroid rom and replying to this post using swipe. No problems here. Just enable it in settings. I even choose the color of my swipe. Works perfectly just like with stock. But yes, you do have to enable it first for it to work. Not sure about other Roms but I can confirm ordroid 8.6.5 is running swipe perfectly. Hope this helps.

Swype error - permission problem?
Guys/Gals,
I also found another error in alogcat, that could be the issue... it says "Not granting permission android.permissions.INSTALL_PACKAGE to package com.swype.android.installer (protectionlevel=3 flags=0xae44)"
Not sure, but it may be the issue. Anybody know how to allow that permission for this app?
*edit* tried copying the installer app to system/app , but that does not do anything. I am also getting the FileNotFound exception, but that could be a problem with Swype installer in ICS...
The flashable file worked like a charm, boom... I've been having the same issue with parsing errors. I guess the dummies from Swype have not fixed the problem yet.
Thanks rolltideburr
I am trying TouchPal now (free in google play)... so far quite good (better than SlideIT). If Swype wants to scare their beta users away, they are making a good effort of it.
Here is how I got Swype back:
If any of you have a NAND backup of before you lost Swype, you can pull out com.swype.android.input (or something very similar) from the backup and extract it. Once extracted and restored (app + data), wipe cache and dalvik and go enable it in Settings --> Language and Input. BAM!!! You got Swype!!
