[Q] HELP: Mail and Gmail force quitting after ROM change

---

I followed the Inspired ace hack kit, all went well. I chose to flash the att-inspire-rooted-signed.zip ROM. My GPS was not working, so I put the inspired-dhd-afr003-signed.zip ROM on my sd card, flashed it, and now mail and gmail force quite. But my GPS works! haha. Well, need the mail, haven't tried going back to the first ROM yet. Any ideas on how to fix this, or why it happened in the first place?

Thanks,
Scott

UPDATE: Went back to the att-inspire-rooted-signed ROM and it mail/gmail works fine. Gussing no GPS though.

I would like the GPS to be functional, any ideas?

Thanks,
Scott

I had no issues with gps not working, sorry.

The other rom will work but, you need to do a data factory rest, wipe card partition, and wipe the dalvik cache before flashing.

I haven't flashed it myself, but everyone's saying GTG's rooted stock ROM has everything working perfectly. You flash it through HBoot and it does a data factory reset - you may still want to wipe card partition and wipe the dalvik cache first

Noob here so I don't know all the terms. Any links to the steps I need to take prior to flashing a new Rom? I know how to use hboot.

If you download the zip in the thread I linked to and put it on your SD card, then start HBoot, it will automatically do a factory data wipe and install the ROM. There are instructions in that thread.

I don't know if this also wipes card partition and dalvik cache, but to do this you boot into cwm recovery (if you have clockwork mod installed you just select recovery from the HBoot menu) and deleting card partition is an option in here, i think dalvik cache is in Advanced

Ok, thanks for the help. I do have the Clockwork mod. So I go to hboot like I am going to load the new ROM, but first delete the partition and clear the dalvik cache correct? Then I can load the new ROM?

I didn't do this when I flashed the second ROM. What data will I lose when I delete the partition and clear the dalvik? When I just flashed the ROM I didn't lose anything. The phone is new, so not much on it, but I didn't lose any of my mail or mail settings, and didn't loose my contacts. I can get both back, just a pain to set it all up again.

Thanks so much for the help.
