So, I have no idea what has happened here, but I seem to have lost my calendar application. Is there any way, other than re-installing the ROM to get that back?
Ok, so, the plot thickens. I went ahead and just reflashed the rom through ClockWork Manager, got everything to boot up just fine, and using Titanium Backup was able to reinstall all my programs/settings. Now a really interesting thing has happened, the phone won't recognize my sim card! When I go into wireless networks and settings, and then into mobile network providers, it prompts me to put a sim card into the phone (of course, there's already one in there).
Any suggestions on this?
My plan for now is to go home, back everything up to my computer, wipe everything through my CWM recovery, and then try to re-flash again.
Also, the keyboard that I use (SlideIt) is having problems force closing every few seconds, which is becoming REALLY annoying.
I would love your input.
ok, so, after a full wipe of the phone, and THEN re-installing Axura 2.3.1.3, I think I'm back to where I want to be. Phone is recognizing my SIM again and I'm in the middle of doing my restoration with TiBU. I'm gonna go through apps first and THEN system information to see if that's what caused my problems before. Might have a corrupted TiBU file somewhere, or a rogue one that's causing these problems for me.
if calander was the only problem in the first place you could have just downloaded 1 from market ??
yeah, I could have, but I really just wanted the stock Google calendar. I'm weird like that

I recently upgraded to GSB v2.1 from my previously non-rooted bog standard Eris and am amazed by what I had been missing out for. I'm still pretty much a complete newbie to the whole custom ROM thing though, and have a few questions that may be quite stupid.
1) I'm getting force close crashes w/ the Facebook app. It'll load for a second and I'll see my news page, then force close comes up. Do I just need to reinstall or ... ? Edit: Facebook seems to be loading now, without force close issues. The problem was very repeatable (every time I tried to open the app!) last night, but seems gone today. Ah well, good riddance!
2) While trying to play a vid from Youtube, the sound is working flawlessly but the video doesn't seem to be advancing. I can move forward manually but all I get are still pictures from the video. This is using the browser that came with GSB; I haven't yet tried to get any other apps.
3) My wife's phone seriously needs this too, but she's leery of wiping her phone of apps. What's the best way to backup apps from a non-rooted Eris?
Thanks in advance for any answers you guys can provide!
Download titanium backup for the apps I'm new at this too I'm unsure about your problems with Facebook and YouTube did you wipe the dalvik cache?

I did wipe the cache, although like I said, I haven't put any apps on here yet, so no harm in just wiping it all again and reflashing the rom to make sure it works. Thanks for the titanium backup tip!
No problem gsb is a great rom these Eris devs do awesome work I use gsb 2.0 no problems I'm trying Ginger tazz now I think battery life may be a little better but both are excellent. You should totally hook your wife's phone up too

I think the Youtube thing is a known issue, and I'm guessing that it's just because Cyanogen Mod 7 isn't completely done yet, so maybe it'll be worked out over time.

Just to let you know, you can wipe the Dalvik cache any time you want to, even after loading apps. It'll just longer to rebuild it when you reboot, but it can help solve issues sometimes.
Welcome to rooting!
That's great to hear! Well, it's not great that youtube doesn't work 100%, but at least it's not some weird problem particular to me. Lol.
I have to say, I really really have grown to like this ROM very fast. My wife is clamoring for it even knowing she's gonna lose all her apps. Any tips on how I set my contacts to import Facebook profile pics now? I did it before, but have no clue where that was or where it may have moved to now.

best option i found for backing up my wife's apps before flashing from stock was to use "universal androot" to root (it is a software root so there is no rebooting or flashing or really any risk of loosing aps). then you can install titanium backup. it will even backup protected files since you have root. when titanium backup loads, hit menu->batch and pick the backup all new apps and newer versions. after flashing, load titanium backup, menu-> batch and pick restore all missing apps (i restored them with data, but many people have had to install the app only and then put back in the other info). FYI i rooted several (5) phones this way. if you install rom manager from the market and install a recovery (clockwork or amon's) from the rom manager, you can turn phone off, then hold vol down and power on to boot to recovery. from there you can wipe and flash. it is the easiest way to root and flash a new rom imho.
sorry figured i should answer your post i quoted. lol. if under menu-> accounts and sync->add account->facebook. input your info and select sync all or sync current contacts. it should pull in the information. if you have different names for people in your contacts and your facebook (ex "wife" in your contacts and "jane" on facebook) you can "sync all contacts" and manually link them. contacts->long press on contact->edit contact->menu->join. this should link you contacts with their facebook info. the facebook pics will sync it just takes a good bit of time sometimes.
Hey so I flashed DAS BAMF GingerRemix 2.1 yesterday and everything is working fine, the only thing is there was a "Rosie Settings" application in my app drawer when I first flashed the 2.1 and I was able to change the right button to Dolphin Browser instead of the stock browser, but all of a sudden now it's just gone! It isn't in my app drawer, and when I click on the right button nothing happens. It was working fine for a while, I don't know what I did. I tried the one patch Rosie-original-button-replacement but that doesn't do anything. If I go into Astro File Manager and go to system and app I can scroll down and see Rosie Settings but when I click it it says Activity Not Found - com.logicvoid.rosieutility Do I have to change some setting? Did I do something wrong? The part I can't understand is it was working at first and now for some reason it isn't at all. I did a forum search and couldn't find any answers. Please give me some things to try if you know anything. Hopefully I am just being dumb and doing something wrong, because right now I just have a button that doesn't do anything, when it should be opening the internet.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same thing happen to my phone. I didnt try to setup the widget through htc.... i just thought it would be easier to reflash...(which fixed everything).... wish i could give you a reason why you lost rosie....i had a lot of fc's too.... i think it was all tied into restoring everything i had through titanium . i decided to only restore things on an "as needed" basis and haven't had a problem since.
I had that issue with 2.1 standard, but everything was fine with the remix version of GB. I would have stuck with the standard if it wasn't for that. I love the remix, but I hate the notification bar being in black font. hope they fix that soon.
I re-flashed it and everything worked perfectly. But THEN I tried changing the font in das bamf toolkit in the extra section and I must have done something wrong. It said it was going to download, install and re-boot my phone as soon as I clicked the font that I wanted. So I chose the font that I wanted and it turned my phone off, and my phone started re-booting and it never got past the first screen where it says HTC and the background is white. It stayed like that for over an hour so I pulled the battery and re-tried and the same thing happened, it just never got past the HTC part. So I pulled the battery and launched into bootloader so that I could go into recovery mode and hopefully re-flash and make everything all better. But NO! I forgot that I accidentally still have the PG05IMG.zip file on my sd card from when I flashed the GB radio, so it instantly wants to do an update and my only two options are to do the update and re-boot (which did nothing) or to just re-boot the phone. So I brought the phone to verizon and they took one look at it and saw that it wouldn't turn on and gave me a new phone. I just really hope that they dont look into it and see that I rooted it and void my waranty and make me have to pay for the full price of the phone. ANyways looking back now I realize that I probably could have gotten a micro sd card reader, put it in my computer, deleted the PG05IMG.ZIP file, and gotten into bootloader and into recovery and re-flashed the rom. But whatever, it is what it is.

you could always try to install the old market, it has a lot less bugs than the newer versions.
I am on 3.3.12 i tried the older and it doesn't work...I have a nandroid backup to back to but really I want to understand what is making the phone behave this way rather than just flash my backup it's always good to know the source of the problem to prevent it from coming back
i can't think of anything other than possibly installing some malware. have you been going to any shady websites on your phone lately, or install any third party applications downloaded from somewhere?
no not really all i know is my phone died over night I charged it this morning and when I booted I had to sign in my gmail account again and everything synced up ok except my market began fc like crazy.....idk maybe something happened to it overnight i dont really go on websites much because im usually bury with work idk if it had anything to with me taking out my sim card and using it with my other device and then putting it back in....
Hey all, sorry if this has been asked, but I have done searches and tried looking thru the forum and cant find an answer... So today after I got sick of my Droid X2 not working properly on stock for months now, I finally went ahead and tried rooting and installing CM7 and this time around (well on my second or third try tonight) I got it installed and working!! Well, working for the most part. So far I am super impressed and enjoying the rom! The one major issue is I cant seem to sync my contacts from Google. I have always been able to in the past on stock and what not, but not on CM7. I get like 3 contacts that were saved to my phone, but everything else is gone. Ive added my gmail account that they were associated with and synched and still no contacts. If anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated!
*Also, just checked my calendar and its working fine... all my info has updated there, but still not my contacts...
This also happened on a friend of mine's x2 when I flashed cm7 for him. Not sure why?
I suspect it had something to do with google not sync the contacts properly before I flashed though, and nothing to do with the rom.
I felt so bad that he had lost all his contacts. I swore then to never flash rom's for anyone else, and I haven't. I just direct them to xda. If I can learn it, then they can too.
O catches my friends 30 to root and rom... did u correctly flash the Google apps thing for aosp roms? Try again with the flashing of Google apps.... but it's just a few numbers...
cyanogen
Edit: I charge my friends....
I had the same exact thing happen to me...
Thanks for all the help... I ended up just staying up for a few hours and re-adding it from Verizons backup assistant. I did a search for the CM7 rom in general (not just for the DX) and some others had the problem and used Verizon to get their contacts back. The sad thing though was there is a file you are able to download from Verizon and put it on your sd card to load your contacts... but I tried and tried and couldnt get it to work. I tried putting the file on the SD, then on the internal and nothing... So I just went thru one by one and added them in myself... heh.
Now my next issue is that my wifi drops out frequently. I have not had the chance to look it up, but was wondering if any of you have had this problem. I am hoping the file was not outdated, as the stuff I put on the phone I got back in January and February. Not sure if there have been updates since then, but I thought I would ask. If anyone has a fix I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks again everyone!

I am... been looking thru the forums for the past hour. Sure I will figure it out...
The best way (in my experience) to keep contacts while going from ROM to ROM is to use the import/export feature in the contacts list.
Contacts -> menu button
Select import/export, then export to SD card.
This sends a vCard file to your SD card which you can keep there or backup to an external HDD or computer HDD.
To restore, follow the same instructions and select import from SD card. Select the file and watch all of your contacts come back
Verizon's backup assistant is crap IMO. It's too slow and confusing to navigate efficiently.
Hi all
Sorry if this has been posted before or if I'm in the wrong section. I've tried to learn as much as possible, but as a complete noob to Android, I'm finding it a tad unmanageable.
What happened:
So first I rooted my device with Odin and CWM6.4. I used CWM to make a backup of my device on the internal SD, as I have no external. I then installed Mobile Odin Pro and flashed first CM9, then the LFB modem, then CM10 and then GAPPS. I then reset my device, or whatever the option was called to delete everything, which the guide said was required.
I'm now running the CM10 released yesterday (06082012) and everything seems to be running well. However here are some questions, that I hope you can help me with:
1) I liked the touchwiz widget for the weather and clock. Can I get this back somehow?
2) I liked the swype keyboard and tried installing swiftkey3, but this does not have swype apparently. Can I somehow get swype again?
3) When I installed CM10, I had to delete everything, which meant I lost all my apps and their files. Is this standard when flashing? I would like to fiddle around and try some different roms/kernels, but it would get tiresome if I had to reinstall everything from scratch every time.
4) Since I got CM10 instead of stock, the screen seem to be generally much brighter and drains a lot more power from the battery. I've tried setting it on automatic, but it doesn't seem to adjust the screen brightness even if I try covering up the sensor with my finger. Does anyone know why? Is it because I'm using software which is under development or is there an easy fix?
5) I've tried getting it to transfer my contacts from facebook to my contacts on the phone, but it just doesn't seem to happen since CM10. Is there something I can try to get it working? Also before I had the option in the facebook app under app settings and could check a box here to make it sync. Now the sync option seems to be under Android homescreen --> Settings --> Accounts --> Facebook --> check to synchronize. It says it synched like 30 minutes ago, but I can't see the contacts.
Thanks a lot for any help you can provide!
Regards Casper

Lets answer your questions one by one..
1. You cannot get tw Widgets on cm10..as it uses the framework which is different from CM10..try other widgets from the market..
2.you can download swipe by going to beta.swype.com and downloading it manually..or else install slideit pro..its also provides the same functionalitty..
3. You don't need to install everything when you reflash..use titanium backup root from play store to backup Apps+data ..and restore the apparel when you flash again..
4.might be a rom issue..remember it is still in development..
5.the settings I jb are in that way..try going to Facebook app..open the contact list..scroll up and down till al the contact pictures load..check you phone contacts again..hope it work..used to work earlier in gingerbread..
Don't mind the spelling mistakes..I am typing on a phone in a moving bus
Cheers.
