I tried flashing that new senseless ROM that just came out CapRom... just to try it out and see what a senseless ROM was like on our phone, and it soft bricked it (stuck at splash screen). Luckily I made a backup, right? Well XBoarder's touch recovery 5.8.0.9. said the md5sums were mismatched. So I reflashed the latest Energy ROM that I did the backup on and tried again to restore and it wouldn't restore any of my backups... I'm now looking to see what the most stable recovery is so I can flash that and try to restore my backup on sd card that way...

Long story short... Stick with Energy ROM... If it ain't broke... don't fix it! :D

Were you running 5.8.0.9 when you made the backup?? If you were using a different recovery, then made the backup, then flashed the ROM and new recovery, I could see how that would cause the problem. If you didn't do it that way, maybe try reflashing the ROM and reflashing the kernel twice and then run recovery and see if it will restore. That is strange!

Cool thing is I noticed more graphic enhancements that were added since I haven't restored my themes backup.

Very nice NRG

Yep. Did backup right before wipe and flash if new ROM. When I found myself in a soft brick, I rebooted into fastboot then recovery and try to restore and md5sum didn't match. So I wiped and flashed the energy Rom I was on when made backup and tried and got the same results


EDIT: 5.8.0.9. for whatever reason wouldn't restore the backup I JUST MADE before wiping, but whatever... It is restoring my backup from a week ago when I first tried the touch recovery... oh well... Not too far off I guess

How about reflashing the rom then advance restoring data?

i'm just wondering if anyone's suffering from the same issue,

the contact pic synced from facebook doesn't seem to be shown on any third-party app such as whatsapp or viber

Advance restoring? Reflash the energy Rom? Cuz that's what I tried

Ha! I just flashed X's new 5.8.0.9 CWM recovery and the first thing I did was do another CWM backup because of your problem. So now I have one for 5.5.0.4 and another one for 5.8.0.9 just in case! I'm not flashing any new ROM soon however unless NRG comes out with one which is doubtful anytime soon.

O ha my bad guess i missed that. I thought u just had tried restoring the whole back up rather than only advance restoring data..

Lol we are confusing each other. Idk what an advance restore is... And I did try a whole restore... I tried a full restore of the backup I created 10-15 min prior. Oh well... I just ended up restoring my FIRST backup made with 5.8.0.9 (which was only a week old) and i will get the other apps I've downloaded since as I come across

So I was changing my icons with ROM toolbox to honeycomb icons. I got all of them to change EXCEPT for the 4G icon and the signal icon. I was successful in changing the battery, 3G, WiFi, vibrate, adb, and usb icons, but not the 4g and signal icons.

Is that because they're a part of the ROM's added theming by NRG and the themed icons override the ones I'm trying to use?

sounds like a good possibility, are you speaking of the icons in the status bar, or elsewhere?

check the theme apk...

Yeah status bar. I've never looked inside of a themes apk before. I'll take a look now


Edit: So I looked at the AmazingSenseBlue.apk (i think that's what its called) and looked at what I could and it was all Greek to me. All I could understand was the html manifest

use seven zip and look in this folder /res/drawable-hdpi and /res/drawable-land-hdpi there's a bunch of pngs in there... also in the /assets/AmazingSense/drawable folder there is an m10 file which you can use m10 tools (not sure the actual name now, but it was developed by a couple of the guys from virtuousrom team) and you can edit some more files that are compiled into that m10 file...

edit: here are the filenames in the /res/drawable-hdpi folder that start with "status"
Code:
status_bar_icon_task_manager.png
status_bar_icons_tile.png
status_bar_item_background_focus.9.png
status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png

Thanks a lot man for all of this, but from a noobs untrained eye, none of those look like any of the icons for signal, WiFi, and 4G. Those are the 3 that I noticed wouldn't change. This is at least a start, and its much appreciated. Thanks again. I'm gonna Google what those mean and go from there.

I've tried a few battery icons, and they all worked for me. Just make sure u pick one that goes down in 1% increments. U prolly had a 20% increment and so it wouldn't drop til it got to 80%

i am having a problem with the network with certain apps and my comcast email. the internet works fine and so do most of my other apps that need the network. when i try to setup my email using my comcast email it cant connect to their network. i also have a problem with apps like words with friends. when i got to log on it says network error please try again later. i have used a few different kernels that still allow bluetooth and wifi to work. i have tried the stock kernel and the one that came with the rom. any one have any suggestions. i have contacted both zynga for the app and tmobile and they dont have any answers. obviously i didnt tell either that i am running a custom rom.

Signal icons are in framework-res.apk if I remeber correctly. I haven't themed in a long time. You can also look in SystemUI.apk for other stuff.

    Welcome to the "Energy" ROM collection thread !


    This development thread is for my "Energy" custom firmware series for the HTC Amaze !

    I build my ROMs with four main goals.

    • Eye candy ( I want my ROM to look great and for it to all flow together nicely)
    • Speed !!!
    • Smoothness, consistency and good aesthetics
    • Stability through private beta testing before public release
    I preconfigure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go. So, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications to already be set. Doing it this way, makes for a nice ROM that's ready out of the box.


    This is for the GB ROM:


    • Stock or themed ROMs available
    • Rosie 5x5 Layout (tweakable)
    • CRT Animation + overscroll (tweakable)
    • Enabled GPU UI rendering
    • Blue highlights instead of green
    • Deodexed, zipaligned, tweaked
    • Extra Quick Settings
    • Improved SD card read ahead
    • Busybox + runparts, TitaniumBackup
    • Zipaligned
    • A few HTC Apps removed, like HTC Navigation and some widgets
    • A lot of junk removed
    • Stock HTC Kernel
    • Screenshot by pressing Power and Home
    • Advanced Power Menu
    • Updated hosts file for ad removal
    • A lot more stuff... check the changelog below
    • Fast... Stable.. and GREAT battery life with the stock HTC kernel


    You can stay up to date on the status of my ROM development by "following" me on Twitter.





    How to Flash this ROM:

    - Root your device
    - Install a custom recovery
    - Install the downloaded ROM .zip found in post #3
    - Make sure to do a Factory Reset / Wipe before installing ROM
