I wanted to flash to NeoPhyTe Mod v1.7.1 Sense-FroYo 2.2 instead, i got a question..

since this ROM uses app2sd automatically, can i force install some apps like widgets to phone memory?

i don't want things to breakdown when i connect my phone to pc as usb storage.
*
For a2sd+ at least (never use the old a2sd), connect to pc as usb storage is NOT affected - widgets, apps still intact

It's only affected if you use froyo native a2sd

Ok, since this is a reflash from LeeDroid 1.6 to NextSense 5.1, I dont need to root my phone again (since its rooted already), yes?

I just have to backup with Titanium backup and do the following:
-Enter to recovery, do a Wipe Factory reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, format/wipe partition Ext2, 3 or 4.
-Flash my ROM (If you have already last Radio you only have to install the rom Without Radio, and if not, install With Radio or separately).
-Flash new radio
-Run new ROM

correct?
*
Right... no need - you missed one step, before wiping you also wanna consider doing a nandroid backup

Alamak! I already did the wipe data/factory reset.

Sorry for my ignorance but what does a Nandroid backup do?
*
Titanium backup is used when your system is wiped and new ROM is installed - you restore old apps and settings into this new environment

Nandroid backup is to backup the current state of your system - let's say you failed during flashing process or you're not happy with the new ROM, it's possible for you to recover it to the last working version

p/s: so many ppl replied already, I'm slow ;p

Ok, I tried to "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Wipe Battery Stats" but it doesnt seem to work. The phone just flash / blink into the first option "- Reboot recovery"

Did that mean it already wipe? Because when we select anything, it will show status / description in white at bottom saying ting like Formatting CACHE... Cache Wipe Complete. But it didnt for Dalvik and Batt Stats.

One dumb question - what is update.zip? I didnt see it for NextSense, I used it for LeeDroid 1.6 not knowing what's it for. Is it something for me to worry about?

Guys, after flashing to NextSense 5.1 (before the radio), I rebooted it and now it's showing some red, green, blue, yellow thingie like how you boot up a Win 7 PC... Is this normal? Finallly, got to the main screen. Going to flash radio now.
*
update.zip got nothing special, since the newer version of recovery tool you can flash any zip file in SD card

The bootscreen is normal since it's modified - FYI, that's the bootscreen of Nexus One tongue.gif

Titanium Backup doing the restore part is a big headache especially since I have  214 item to restore. Cant this be automated?

One more question about Titanium Backup. Example if we were to backup an older version of app included in the ROM, e.g. People / Gallery / Photo / Youtube player. Wouldnt I be restoring an old one to this new ROM?
*
Can, if you donate to the developer he will send you a license key (I got the donate version now)

btw, you don't have to really click 214 times, some are system apps, you don't have to click

samurai1337,
thanks for your replies. Some system app from LeeDroid 1.6 will overwrite the system app on this NextSense 5.1. Is it something I should be worried about? Possibly some system app is old version?
*
If that's the case don't let it overwrite - whatever in NextSense 5.1 should be newer in version compare to LeeDroid 1.6, facebook and GOogle Maps for instance

oh yeah it won't affect when plug in USB because the ext partition is mounted separately from sdcard...

i notice you quite support nextsense ROM, why you favor it over NeoPhyTe ROM? both froyo with sense UI from same developer.
*
No particular reasons - other than the fact that it's running quite stable and it's also close to the stock HTC sense UI tongue.gif

I thought contacts should be backed-up if you run a full backup, I store my contacts in GMail, but my SMS and stuffs could be restored properly. I always do full backup

Anyway, not sure about the Market problem.. if you try to re-install one apps what would it say?

Check if that "Superuser Permission" app is around

NextSense 5.1 users, do you guys feel that data transfer its slower on this rom? When using LeeDroid 1.6, my house area always detect HSPDA, on NextSense 5.1, always 3G only. Anyone else notice this or is it just me?
*
I thought it was the case i first two days (always at "E") but found out that it was Maxis issue... Now I get back "H" in some areas

It shouldn't be caused by NextSense based on what Neophyte changed in the ROM (it still uses same Radio, uses same HTC Sense OTA build just added some tweaks and add-ons)

I notice that my A2SD+ partitioned SD Card will not be detected by Windows via Card reader - it says "SD Card is not formatted, do you want to format now?"

Not really an issue as I can always connect as disk drive via USB cable, but just a finding wink.gif

Btw, NextSense 5.2 ROM is out, a lot of updates it seems

Damn, I just flashed Nextsense 5.1 yesterday and today he release 5.2.

Which should I download? Original theme means the default Froyo?

Download two can be flashed on earlier versions:

ROM 5.2 Original Theme + Transparent Lockscreen without Radio:
NexTSense_5.2_Official_OTA_2.2_FRF91_Original_Tran sparent

ROM 5.2 NexTSense Theme+Transparent Lockscreen without Radio:
NexTSense_5.2_Official_OTA_2.2_FRF91_Default_NexTS ense
*
Original theme is the one that resembles stock HTC bar

NextSense theme is the one with transparent bar

Other than that not much difference I think

damn! just used 5.1 it for few hours... now 5.2 lol, so far so good.
btw, did you notice red and green line on the slide to answer bar in nextsense 5.1?

and how to set the setCPU to save battery? just down-clock it thats all?

My settings:

Main Screen - 806400 max, 245000 min, on demand

profiles:
screen off, Priority 100, 384 max, 245 min, userspace
battery <25%, priority 50, 576 max, 245 min, on demand

Yes noticed the green and red line, doesn't look that nice, wondering if that's a bug

Hi. Do you need to do a wipe before upgrading your ROM? After installed the new ROM. Do do just recover APPS only or APPS + SYSTEM DATA in titanium backup?
Thanks
*
1. Full wipe is recommended (but not needed if you have nextsense flashed already)
2. I always recover apps + system data (but I try not to replace the system apps because newer version of ROM may have newer version of system apps)

Added on August 14, 2010, 10:21 amI am testing NextSense 5.2 now, notable differences:

- Added HomeSwitcher and you can switch between different UI (I still prefer HTC Sense!)
- Added "Powersave", "Performance" and "Interactive" governer for setcpu...
- Smooth as usual.. no major bug
- Brut Maps stockified (by squrl) - you don't have to have two Google maps in the OS now, and there's no "Brut" watermark on the logo
- New version of "Superuser Permission"
- Lockscreen is changed to the transparent one again, but it's possible to revert to Android default still (I prefer that one!)
- 14 new wallpapers... but somehow they are all gone after I restored stuffs via Titanium Backup -.-
