[Q] android 4.4.2 - CM11 with ION: upgrade ROM - HTC Sensation

Hello everyone. I installed on my htc sensation XE (after unlock and S-OFF) kit_kat_4.4.2_with_ION, precisely "cm-11-20140109-Sultan-pyramid" with gapps and sultan kernel Aroma. How can I install the ROM upgrade "cm-11-20140117-Sultan-pyramid" without loosing all my app and data (ex. text, cronology, app saving etc)?? do I have to do a full wipe or do I have just to flash the new ROM? Do I have to use an app for backups?
Thanks

Just flash the newest rom over your existing installation, after that wipe cache and dalvik, that's all.
You won't loose anything.

thankyou very much! I just did it Can I use this operation for all the update of this ROM?? I hope so..

hello again..
I have a problem: I can not adjust the volume of the headset during the call. The volume is too loud and I had not this problem before I flashed the ROM. how can I do?
thanks

Sounds like a bug from the rom.. you could up- and downgrade withouth dataloss/full wipe when you keep the androidversion (4.4.2 in that case) in mind.. and remember backups for stable times
<br /> now, i've a question too and i hope, it's right placed: whats about phone-encryption? I test it in every rom which is 4.4, but i always get the logcat-error, that it's unable to detect the block-size..
From my old phones i know about problems with nand and similiar.. but the a-encryption should basicly work with ext4 and emmc-storage, so would be wonderfull when its work (and its may not that big deal to solve..?)
but @all: thank you devs for all that fixing and developing!!!

[Q] HTC Desire / Cool3D V3 ROM / Power button problem.

Hey,
after carefully searching through every thread concerning coolexe's ROM, I can't find any solution to my problem ...
I successfully flashed Cool3D Sense 3.0 AceS v2a on my HTC Desire (Bravo), everything worked just fine until today when my power button decided not to work anymore. No matter how long or hard I press it, it just sends my phone into sleep-mode. I can't turn it off nor can I mute it ...
After a dalwik cache wipe I flashed the newest version of the ROM V3 ... the problem was still there. Gingercakes 0.6c kernel update didn't change a thing as well. No i'm quite puzzled.
Can anyone help me any further? Thank you in advance!

Hey benben89,
at first I would do a factory reset. If the problem still exists I would flash a clean stock rom. If the long press function is still unavailable I would tip a hardware defect of the micro button.
Good luck,

[Q] Phone not ringing CM9 XE

Hello all,
I have a HTC Sensation XE with beats audio running Cyanogenmod 9.1.0
I've had this ROM for about a week or 2 and had no problems with it but not my phone won't ring, sometimes it will vibrate tho.
I updated to the latest nightly build earlier to see if this would fix it but to no avail.
I have checked all settings and my phone is set to loud with ringing & vibrate.
Even when I go to choose a ringtone it used to preview the tone for me but now it doesn't even do that.
I can play music through the speaker and everything else works fine but the ringtone for calls and texts.
Can anyone please help me, thanks in advance!
Hi there, have you tried doing a FULL wipe and reinstalling the Rom ? Download could have got corrupted somehow. If you do this make it a clean install with full wipe. If that does not work you might be forced to go to another Rom. You might want to flash another Rom just to make sure phone will ring with that. Just to check. If it's not ringing with another Rom its a different issue within the device itself. If it does ring with different Rom it's likely related to the Rom you flashed. Do some experiments and see what this stems from. Rom or device. If its Rom related try the clean install. If that won't work as I said you will likely be forced to use a new Rom until the issue is worked out. I hope this helps out. Best wishes

Thanks for your reply!
When you say clean wipe, do you mean super wipe?
When I reinstalled my rom earlier I just did a dalvik wipe using ROM manger to install the rom.
Do I need to do a date wipe also?

[Q] GSM support for alien rom on xperia J

[Q] Is there any way to get GSM network to work on cyanogen based Alien rom, in xperia j?
I just rooted my Xperia J 4.1.2 (.31) yesterday and went ahead with AVD which supposed to be based on stock xperia rom. But unfortunately its was a bit buggy. SystemUI.apk suddenly stops working and many apps kept crashing on me .. few other roms like slim were asking to be downgraded to ICS which i dont want to... then came Alien rom to my rescue. this rom is really clean not to mention the Acid Audio ENgine and stuff ...T____T I so badly want to keep this rom its ****ing perfect..!!! if only if the GSM would work, which while installing i didn't know that no cyanogenmod 10 based rom has GSM support !
Now i'm whining here because i just want someone more knowledgeable than me to give me the confirmation that that i have absolutely no other choice, other than going back to the AVD. LIke the GSM fix for the ICS baseband is there positively NOTHING out there for JB :crying:
You need to downgrade to ics first, then flash any cm10 based rom, or gsm.will not work.

just one more doubt...

getting out of alien rom and reinstalling AVD i screwd up and soft bricked my phone.
SO i had to use a pc to reflash the stock JB. BUt that has locked the bootloader again coz the PC companion can detect my phone again.
so just need to confirm certain things...
SO if i flash stock ICS then i will have to unlock my bootloader again right...? I presume i will have to root my phone too all over again... ? before installing the rom ?
PLease HELP!!!
Ok this is sooo irritating...!!! T____T
I flashed my phone with 4.0.4 ICS, st26i_11.0.a.3.18_global.ftf form Matej X's 4shared folder.
http://www.4shared.com/folder/25Mb7Dws/Xperia_J.html
the ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE.ftf from that folder when put into firmwares folder of flashtools, doesn't even show up !!!
i figured to root st26i_11.0.a.3.18_global.ftf from this guide http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033114&highlight=st26i+root+ics
but not inspite of downgrading to ics, when i installed MIUI5 rom i'm i'm getting no simcard ad hense GSM is not working all manually scanned networks are shown as "UNKNOWN" !
Now i have flashed back to stock ICS rom...
when i flast the stock rom using flashtool the simlock.ta file gets ignored. what's up with that, wherever i have read about its not supposed to be a issue...
Can someone help me this is really getting frustrating....
Can some one help me find the link for ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE.ftf ICS stock rom which will be detected by flashtool...
MIUI5 was really nice, I would like to use it. Its based on cyanogenmod10 fxp 226 ... My issue with that is i use the instruction here to install it, but its condusing.
https://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/howto-install
It says "6.Wipe device
from cm9 device wipe is necessary only at first flash or when you switch cm version
!!! if after boot you experience ForceClose then is recomended to reboot to recovery and wipe device
7.Partition format
is not recomended to format your partitions unless you are advised to do otherwise"
Now in CWM what do i have to wipe...???
There are too many options to wipe....
1. wipe data/factory rest
2. wipe catch partition
Under advanced
Wipe delvic catch ...
Which and all am i supposed to wipe ?
Please bare with me guys i'm at my witt's end here...T____T
I just want one CM 10 based rom working for me... That's all ...
Here's the thing mate, AlienRom works perfectly fine for me. Just flash over stock ICS and Not JB and select Use 2G network on settings. Give it another try , oh and I highly discourage MIUI, it may look pretty but it is lag as hell. Browser takes sooo long to load and so lag

Hey Racer X,
I was thinking about the same thing... Alien rom is the only rom where i encoutered absolutely "0" lag, Brilliant work there man thanks a lot.
Would it be possible to flash it directly on rooted 11.0.a.3.18 ICS because i'm not able to root ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE.ftf with any tutorial here...
SO far i have tried this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2071817
and the other option being flashing to stock 11.0.A.7.5 and using Unlockroot.exe
But windows won't even detect the exe file and Google chrome's calling it a malicious file and won't let me download it .
SO i have sort of hit a roadblock with 11.0.a.7.5
So i was hoping i can flash alien rom straight on rooted 11.0.a.3.18 ICS, which i rooted with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033114&highlight=st26i+root+ics
Omg...!!! I did it ... :d
OMG... I just went ahead and did it... this is sooo f****** AWWWWSOME...!!!
Now i have Alien rom with GSM WORKING !!!:good:
I didn't even go for 7.5 i just stuck with .18 and went to alien rom 4.1.2
BTW can i keep the cyanogenmod upates setting to weekly or should i keep it at manual/???
I don't want to loose the gms connection just coz it updated on its own ... ?
What do you think ?

[Q] Speaker loudness on all custom roms for my n8020

Hello XDA Members,
got a problem with my n8020. I would like to use it with any custom rom, especially kitkat. But when i run a custom rom the speaker loudness especially when making phone calls is very silent. This forces me to go back to stock rom. Tried alot fixing it, but could not solve it. Also wiped dalvic and cache partition, always the same. Also tried to change some values in tiny_hw.xml but with no success. Anyone else here with this problem? Please help me,
Thx Dominik

Music issue...

Hey guys, I can't seem to get this figured out, so I have resorted to coming to the forum for help. On every single ROM I have ran lately EXCEPT the old LiquidSmooth 4.4.4(most recent version), I have had issues playing music through AUX. WHenever I would plug in my aux cable, play a song, then turn off my screen, the music would start lagging and there would be lots of static. but if I waked the device it would be fine. Turn the screen back off, same thing. It started happening after flashing this GPE ROM found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/rom-m8-gpe-01232015-t3010825
Now it does it on Viper, any GPE or AOSP other than LiquidSmooth 4.4.4. I flashed Fluent ROM in the Verizon Dev thread last night and same thing. It will also do it on all versions of Viper(4.4.4 and 5.0.1). Is anyone else experiencing this? BTW I have not tested Bluetooth, so I don't know if it does it there too. I have tested the actual speakers on the phone, and it does not do it there, just on aux. kinda making me think it may be my cable, but I'm just looking to see if anyone else is having these issues.
Thanks in advance guys!

I have not flashed either. However, as we speak, I am updating my firmware to the new 5.0.1 firmware found here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159...and I downloaded the version for TWRP users, and I have the latest TWRP 2.8.5.0 installed. So maybe that will make a difference?

Possibly, but I doubt it. There's something telling the kernel to sleep which is why it happens when you turn your screen off. I'd try wiping /system before flashing a ROM. There might be something from liquid being left behind. Factory resets don't wipe /system. If you're ROM requires an intact /system such as Adrenaline, flash a stock rooted ROM first, then the custom ROM. That's what I'd try. Someone else might have a better idea.

Actually every single time I flash a new rom, I go into advanced wipe and wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache 3 times. Every Time. But I flagged that new firmware and was rubbing digital high rom from the Verizon thread and did not have the music issue. I'm running fluent rom sense 7 from the Verizon thread now but have not tested the music yet But will update you guys in the morning. Thanks for all your replies
