Root AOSP Set up issue.....

I rarely run AOSP and seem to run into the same issue with each rom I flash. I set up the phone with the theme, rearrange home screens, etc; however, whenever I reboot or shut off the phone, it reverts back to stock once it boots up? Is this common? Any suggestions? Thanks.

No, thats not a normal thing to have. Which AOSP ROMS have you tried? Is your SD card partitioned?

It happened with the xplod and now with the deck's reloaded. And yes, I am partitioned to exactly how the guide directed. I thought it might be a card issue, but it has happened with two separate cards and both when partitioned and not partitioned.

It really sucks because I like(d) both of those roms but ended up flashing back to sense because of the hassle. I'm running decks right now, but spent all last night setting it up just to reboot and have it go back to the way it was before.
 
Open up terminal emulator or download it from market

Type in:
su (press enter)
a2sd repair

then when thats finished
a2sd reinstall


That **should** fix the issues

If that doesn't work, reboot into recovery-partition-and click ext repair from there

So far term em does nothing when I type su and hit enter. Going to try through recovery.
 
The su command just grants it superuser permissions. It should change from $ to # after it gets superuser permissions and then continue with a2sd repair.

So type in:
su (then hit enter)

then type in:
a2sd repair

then when its done type in:
a2sd reinstall

The phone will reboot when the a2sd reinstall command is finished

Yeah, for whatever reason when I was using the emulator, it was not being granted su permission.
 
maybe check the su app and make sure it wasnt denied.

Anyways, I'm glad it worked out for you. I'm not sure what causes the ext partition to get messed up at times, I just know the solutions to try to correct it :p
 
***SUCCESS! Repairing the ext in recovery worked like a charm. Restored all the previous settings too. Any reason this happened so I can avoid it in the future?
