Bootloop on EXT after changing screen density

[vkmaxx]

Hello, I have Samdroid Kitchen 2.1@EXTx with FE9, + Xmister kernel “CRI”

Yesterday I was playing with LCD Density for root:
Set 120, reboot, home screen showed up, I have run LCD once again and set it to 140, reboot, telephone, booted but froze on home screen (didn’t load all widgets), I have shut it down, on next start it bootlooped.

I have tried:

• wipe cache & wipe Dalvik-cache
• start it without SD card (I know, useless)
• switch build.prop in recovery to previous version (maby LCD Density have damaged file)
• reflash it with FE
• reflash XMister kernel

It didn’t work, phone is still in bootloop. Last backup I made before RFS to EXT conversion so it’s rather old.
I can still use recovery!

Can you tell me:

• Can I download from phone the list of installed apps?
• Download contact list?
• Download SMS library?
• Can I refelsh ROM by reflashing smdroid kitchen with light option (remember that I’m on EXT)?
• Is the any chance to recover ROM in phone?

-First thing- in recovery mount /system, connect USB and try to replace /system/build.prop to the one from kitchen.

-You can mount /data in recovery and copy contents to pc (adb pull, AndroidCommander etc)
-Contacts are synchronized with google account of course if you did it, if not- stored in /data (I don't know exact location, google for it)
-SMS library is not synchronized anywhere and is stored in /data (I don't know exact location, google for it)
-You should be able to install kitchen using recovery but try to format /system partition before installing (I don't know Xmister's kernel, but Qbanin's has formatting in recovery-you should be able to install it via recovery)
-If /data is damadged you will not start phone withut wiping it

i dont think the Eclair support build.prop modification, especially in case of LCD density.
Build.prop of 2.1:

No LCD density value.

You can add

ro.sf.lcd_density=[value]

and this works.

Didn't help.

You can mount /data in recovery and copy contents to pc (adb pull, AndroidCommander etc)

Did work! (simple COPY to SDCard from recovery)

Contacts are synchronized with google account of course if you did it, if not- stored in /data (I don't know exact location, google for it)

Works!

SMS library is not synchronized anywhere and is stored in /data (I don't know exact location, google for it)

HOWTO: Backup SMS Database - xda-developers
Simple copy and replace did work!

Now I'm on CyanogenMod-6.1.0-RC1-Spica-alpha8 and on almost every reboot I'm stuck at bootlogo, but wiping DC helps (it's pain in the a** but it works).

THX to all
