Root Trouble Installing New Rom

Hmmmm..... I wonder why I had to do the gapps setup twice, then it didn't work at all. I think I'm done fooling with this and just gonna let the 1.3 stable settle out with the Tiamat 3.3.7 and see how it works out. There's only so many times I can flash the same thing and not get it right, it's frustrating.
 
Ok I tried again (I know I need a sponsor) and this time agter the setup I have contacts but NO sms and No clendar entries. I think this is why I prefer My Backup Pro to TB cause I can back that stuff up. And yeah I have to merge contacts and calendar entries with a fresh flash but I'd rather do that then not have the stuff at all. Is there a setting I can change that lets me back up all this vital stuff?
 
I know that's right. Too bad too. Set it up like MB said and with the conniptions tweaks, and it is very impressive.
 
Man I've talked all these people into running Deck AOSP, and here I am restoring back to MikG after running Deck again for like a day. I've been all over the place lately on what I like. I guess I have just ran deck and AOSP so much over the last 6 months, I just need change.

That's weird that you're having all this trouble though. Maybe try redownloading the rom or something and verify the md5 sum. I never have any trouble with anything when I run deck.
 
I don't know of a guide, per se, the idea though is it is a method to insure you get an accurate download. When you have this large file, you run it through a program and it calculates stuff about it and comes up with a checksum. The developer, or whoever, posts that checksum.

When you dl a file, you run it thru an app that makes the same sort of calculations and gives you a checksum as well. If they are the same, then you have an accurate dl.

I haven't used it much but there are apps in the market and stuff. Hope this helps.
 
Do you have root explorer? just long press and select "info" or "properties" or whatever, it will be one of the things it lists. There are also some md5 checkers in the market.
 
Yeah I had my share of issues with it as well part of it I think was Operator Error :eek: I got it all set up and then turned around an deleted all data thinking it was cache :mad: so then I reran titanium and did data only things were ok but market wouldnt' let me download. So I went Wiped Cache and dalvic then I go the press here to start wizard tried to exit out it wouldnt let me so I did a battery pull cleared cache and dalvic again rebooted and got the window again but was able to escape out of it. Market still shutdown every time I accepted to start downloading so I shutdown (quick boot) wiped everything flashed again reset everything up went to market it did the same thing so I gave up with it and went back to Xplod.

One time I kept getting market fc's on deck after restoring a nandroid with the new amon ra style recovery. Never any issues with 2.3 though. Yada Yada Yada, I'm still using 2.3.

probably was a freaky thing but getting ready to go on vacation and visit my mom. so I wanted to have a setup I know works. I will have to try it again when I come back. I also told diablo I would try his when I get back. I'm sure erasing the data was a big part of my issues with the first install. I still can't believe I did that. I was like wtf did you do you big dumb ass. But oh well live and move on. I think I will redownload gapps for the next time could have been a bad market copy.
