Root [ROM] Sense-able 2.0 UPDATED [4/3/10]

[screennamie]

On the first version when I was clicking sync I would get an com.htc.bg force close message. I'm assuming its face book but nothing is coming up in my searches on the boards here for com.htc.bg.

I'm going to install this update and see if that fixes it. Other than that it's been a great rom so far.

I do have a nand restore point but I was having this issue with the rom before when I put it on initially.

All searches are coming up fruitless

This is my favorite ROM so far but I am having a small problem. When I back out of a program using the arrow sometimes the phone seems to reboot. I get the HTC screen while it reloads all the other screens back up. I noticed it with the internet (stock) and seesmic(twitter).. It doesnt do it all the time though..

And a question on a totally different topic, when you do a nand restore does it change the ROM to what was on the phone when you did the back up. This is probably a stupid question but I just wanted to clarify..

yes when you do a nand restore it will restore the rom that was on your phone at the time you made the back up. That is why I do nand back ups almost every time i make major changes....

Does this mean you can backup your stock unrooted 1.5 ROM, and go back to it after using a rooted 2.1 room?

You need root installed to be able to do a nand backup so no.

Ok thanks.

 

[screennamie]

ok .. completely reflashed this rom. Wipe and all. I had to try the vanilla rom and there were just no options widget wise and have to put on a different home screen program.

So far no errors. I think my naand backups were tainted anyways so I've gotten rid of all those and I'm trying to create new and fresh.

Letcha know if I get the com.htc.bg error again anytime soon. It may have been a conflict between flickr and facebook. right now all I have syncing is facebook.

Baby steps

You did a wipe of data and dav before flashing to this ROM, right? Even when going back to a NAND, I flash those 2. Maybe that might help for future.

Yes but you can go back to stock 1.5 from rooted.

Yes I did that even though the update you don't have too. Figured it'd be a good idea to wipe this time and start fresh. So far no errors. I bet it is one of the other syncable programs like flckr or tweeter conflicting with facebook.

I don't even use the first two just opened the accounts for a what if I ever decide to, guess I wont be doing that now. This is the best rom I've seen so far that uses sense. It's even worth giving up those lame live wallpapers for.

I wiped when I went to this ROM as well just cuz going from ROM to ROM takes me less than 20mins total since i got Titanium.

I removed flckr and twitter apks. Since removing that, the stocks crap, teeter and youtube, I now get a full day of charge, which was unheard of before since I work in a crappy area with no reception, so battery drains very quickly. If you want a list of stuff I have removed and had no issues with, just send me a PM and Ill give you what I got.

You CAN make a backup BEFORE you root.

I did it, that was the only way I would have ever rooted

On another note...

Do you guys know where I can get the quickoffice apk since it was removed from this build?
Also, How can I get the original htc clock weather widget? I flashed the newer one that Jamezelle made and was just curios if I could flash back to the original If I decide that the blue one doesnt look good with my wallpaper?

Flash back to your NAND backup.

 

[rentjr]

Flash back to your NAND backup.

I do have one but I have added a ton of stuff since then...just wasn't sure if there was another zip I could flash for the stock one, you know, be able to switch back and forth as mood sees fit

This ROM looks great! I will be rooting tonight and probably loading this onto my Eris, but I wanted to know if Exchange mail work with this? I have heard that it doesn't work with some 2.1 ROMs.

 

[jwm2]

Its a great rom, i've been using it since last night. I used the auto root installer but instead of flashing the rom when you press 3 in the menu i copied over the sense-able v2.0 and flashed it with that instead. Just be sure to clear the data like it says in the first post and you'll be alright. All in all it took about 30-45 minutes from start to finish. If i had to do it over again i'm sure it would be much faster, but i wanted to be sure i didn't screw anything up so i looked for youtube videos to show me each step and what to expect. Its a simple process though.

If you plan on flashing to ROMs, I would recommend Titanium. Its free in the market but to have it all automated, its 2.99$. Well worth it. I can flash a ROM and be back up and running 100% in under 20. Apps, settings, custom ringtones, everything.

 

[jwm2]

Yeah i installed it last night, i donated to them earlier today after running the app but it seems my donation didn't go through. I'll try it again here in a few minutes. Great app though. I also downloaded rom manager although i haven't had a chance to play with it, i'll have to check it out as well later tonight.

 

[smacky]

Just a random question: why do pictures of our phones look more crisp than on the phone itself?

ROM manager will delete your other imager. I forget the name of it, but its the one that everyone uses and was in the root guide from grdlock

 

[jwm2]

You mean the recovery image? I've installed rom manager but i've not run it yet, i wonder if i should just delete it instead? I've booted into recovery mode just fine, i made a nandroid backup earlier today so i know the recovery flash is still there.

I think it is because our computer monitor has more pixels and higher resolution than our phones. Assuming I understand your question correctly. I also feel you asked this before in the UI thread.

Ok i'm having a couple more issues with sense-able. Just kinda wondering of others are having the same issue or if its just me.

1. When i connect a usb cable to my pc it reboots the phone. The screen which asks you what you want to do (usb power, htc sync, data) comes up but its locked and then the phone reboots. Not sure why this is happening.

2. When i play music and the screen goes off after awhile and i press the power to wake it, the music player controls on the lock screen are gone, there is just a grey box above the verizon clock with some dots that eventually goes away.

These are the only 2 issues i've noticed so far, everything else seems to be running smoothly. I'm not sure what the problem could be or how to fix it, if anyone is having the same problem i'd like to know, if not then maybe i need to reflash it or something. I've done a couple nandroid backups after i got my apps installed, and thats really all i've done with it since rooting it. Wireless tethering works great, and everything else seems to be running fine.

I have the same problem with the Music app on the lock screen. I'm pretty sure someone said in another thread that it doesn't work on the lock screen in 2.1, so I don't think you're alone on that. As far as the USB thing, I don't have that problem. I'm not sure what that could be.

 

[jwm2]

I wonder if its because its in debugging mode or something, i have no idea but its alittle annoying :/

Ok i found out why, its because it was in usb debugging mode. I guess i just had a habit of leaving it on. Ahh well at least i figured out what the deal was. Ok so everything is running the way it should. Now i just need to figure out if installing the rom manager app but not running it did anything to my recovery image. I don't know where to find the recovery image so i'm kinda at a loss at the moment.
