[General Questions and Answers] SPElectronics:
I would LIKE to try Sygic Aura on my Epic (Galaxy S) but just a single small map file for my state alone is taking over 2 hours to download. What a joke! I would need maps for at least 8 states in the U.S. for this to be useful to me, and it would take forever to download them all. I too would like to know if there is any way to download the maps other than via the phone, and then transfer them to the phone. Is it possible?
[General Questions and Answers] DELTALIMA061:
I too am 30% into a 511MB download of maps for my Samsung Galaxy S!

This Sygic look promissing, but thank God they give 7 days trial, its going to take longer than that to get the maps on!

currently using copilot as backup to google nav/telanav (aka sprint nav) when I don't have a data connection in the boonies. Copilot lacks detailed maps and live traffic reports, but it works decent as a stand alone nav when i'm in a crunch without data signal. ;)

Open the database.xml file in aura's SD directory, you'll see all URLs for every file. You can then transfer them to your SD. Download one map so you have the proper folder to place the rest.

Navigon: micro-review

I've tried them all since my time with Nokia. Eye candies were very important to me so my favorites were Sygic products. I also used Co-pilot on Android for a short time but I could not trust its route computations every times.

Now I favor efficiency and use Navigon MobileNavigator on a Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) (Europe maps).

I like it because:

it is easy to operate with one hand while you keep an eye on the road. Functions are never more than 2 clicks away

it proposes most of the time 2-3 alternative routes to drive from A to B. Goes with the shortest if you don't answer

it uses real-time traffic info to compute or re-compute routes

the 3D-view is optimum: nice gfx (imho), not too simple, not too complex

adding nearest POIs of interest to your route while driving requires minimum effort and distraction from the road above

it loads/updates all maps of Europe in 20 mins from my WLAN, including ALL speedcams. No computer required

it tells you to turn WHEN it is time to turn

route computations are very accurate (way better that Sygic products)

adding your own POIs is simple

I do not like:

Navigon's website that do not show any user manual for Android

the menu system could be better. Still, it is easy to operate while driving as it requires minimum reading for most operations, except settings

a price tag that can feel too high. But in the end, I found it worth every cent

The enhanced reality feature on the latest version seems interesting but my Galaxy does not look "straight ahead" at the road.

I would like to see a function to mirror the display so that I could use it when it reflects in my windshield in front of me.

Good luck! I hope this helps :p

I agree. I am using it for the same reason. (; I think Co-pilot is alright. Gets me where I need to go and fast rerouting and all without data connection.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackson147:
Recently I've managed to root using Unrevoked and flash a new ROM to my HTC Desire, I currently have Cyanogenmod v.7 RC2 running and it's fantastic!

However I'm already running low of internal memory.

I've done some reading about how to boost this by setting up a partition on my memory card, however there are some things that don't quite add up in my head. Below is a list of what I think I need to do to obtain A2SD+ for Cyanogenmod v.7 RC2, correct me if I'm wrong anywhere please :D

Make a backup using ROM manager

Copy all important data from memory card as I will have to format it - This includes the backup.

Use ROM manager to format the SD card and create a ext3 partition

Download S2E (Simple2ext) from the android marketplace and tick the box to move the dalvik cache to the SD card.

If the process list above is correct then my questions are:

Do I need to have obtained S-OFF to complete this process?

Do you need to start from a clean slate when moving the dalvik cache, i.e. should I factory-reset/wipe dalvik cache/wipe cache and then install Cyanogenmod v.7 RC2 again?

When you move over the dalvik cache is this a permanent move? For example if I had problem booting and I went through the factory-reset/wipe dalvik cache/wipe cache and then install Cyanogenmod v.7 RC2 again would this reset the dalvik cache back to its original location on the internal memory? Or would something more complicated need to be done to achieve this?

Thank you in advance for any help,

I'm slowly learning the basics :o

-Jackson
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackson147:
Bump,

any help would be greatly appreciated.

For any tl;dr

I really just want to know if moving the Dalvik cache to the SD card is permanent? Or will a full re-flash restore the dalviks original path back to the internal memory?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
1) No.

2) No, don't do anything.

3) The dalvik cache does get moved but not too sure if it's permanent.

I would say to move dalvik cache back to internal, you would have to wipe /system because it's a script that gets installed as you need to remove the script. It's not permanent the way your thinking of. Just if you move it using the script then I don't think you can move it back whilst the script is installed. When the script is removed it will reset and go back to internal. Does that even make any sense? :P
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sladehawke:
When I handed my old hero to my sister last year, I took CM6 off, and flashed fresh for her.

I was wondering if there are any new sense roms out now that come highly recommended. I'd like to have her use adw launcher if there are any sense roms with the rosie stripped out.

It has to be stable enough to survive another 6 months without me being around to do updates...

Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
If you are replacing the launcher with adw anyway, why not run an AOSP rom like CyanogenMod 6 or 7 or asopmod? If she's going to be without your support for 6 months, then I suggest cm6 or asop2.2. They are both very stable froyo roms. Cm offers more customization whereas aospmod is speedier.

Nfx has the newest update. If you're looking for minimum issues that may be the way to go. Otherwise you may be getting calls that mms messages are not being received. Easier to update prl and profile on a sense rom with a noob rather than have them trying to flash back and forth.

No prob bud. I tried your next set of instructions but 000000 is an invalid code on my phone dang

I figured, after you do a *228 it changes your lock code. It's all zeros on the EA11 rom until you do the first *228. I got a friend who works at USCC and they have a utility that can tell you the lock code. It's generated by hashing the phone serial with some other variable. Thanks for your assistance though.

Thanks for this. I was wondering where I could find that number.

It looks like you only need the app they recommend to get a terminal, so if you already have one, you don't need to download another app. Also, from one of the comments, use

getprop ril.MSL

instead of just getprop to keep from looking through all of getprop's output.

My PRI is 0x01. If it matters, I'm running the community rom 1.2 with the EC01 radio.

Hello,

I searched and still could not find the answer. The problem or issue is this...I paid for the Beautiful Widget app and want to 1. Backup the app to my pc incase I need to reinstall and 2.Want to add it to my other work phone.

I know about apps that backup your apps but that is not what I want. I want to be able to save the actual "app" onto my pc and then take that app file and install on my other work phone.

Please any ideas on how to do this, would be great. I connected my phone to pc with usb cable and didnt know where to look to find the app file.

Thanks in advance,
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenWulf:
if you need to re-install, you are able to redownload and reinstall from market without being charged again (it tells you that when you download app and when you delete paid apps from phone). if you want to put it on your other phone all you need to do is sign into other phone with your google account. any other advice constitutes a violation of the anti-warez rules of the board and piracy (if you are trying to get a paid app on a device that is using a google account other than the one the app was purchased with).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:
okay im assuming your on a out of the box phone.

1. Root your phone ! (

1a.Install clockwork recovery ( Back up your phone )

2.READ THIS! (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=955719) Install Custom ROM stock 2.3.3 (Deoxed) or CM7 ( for crespo A.K.A Nexus S )or what ever you choose.

3. If your running CM7 use the theme manager provided in the ROM ( if not skip to step 4.

4. Download Matted blue theme (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=959065)

5. Do some testing on the many kernels provided on this site for best battery drain/CPU over-clock/ sound enhancements.

I recomend these :

( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936219 )

Overall advice :

1 : Root the phone

2 : Install Clockwork Recovery

3.1 EASY METHOD : Install 2.3.3 Deoxted Rooted ROM ( Supercurio's Voodoo Kernel - Rooted ) from here -> (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=971690)

3.2 HARD METHOD : Install CM7 for Crespo ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957472 ) if you really want lots of themes and a buggy as experience in getting it to run correctly / keep up with updates e.c.t

4 :Use one of Netarchy's Kernels & use Voodoo sound enhancement app from the market

5 : Learn to use search function ;)

Today I connected my phone which is running CM7 RC2 to my PC and mounted it as storage so I could remove pictures. I turned off USB storage and thought nothing of it.

But when I got a call later I realised my ringtone wasnt playing, it was silent.

I went into the sound settings, and under notiications or ringtones, I cant find any of my tones. Yet I can explore the SD fine and my apps transferred to SD work fine also. The system just cant find the mp3's anymore but they are there, I havent touched them in any way.

Any thoughts and theories?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngmane:
the only thing i can think of is you didnt unmount your SD card properly i would recomend that you manualy extraxct the Micro SD card and place it back in and also from now on make sure you click unmount on the desktop client as well as the cell phones this could be a future way to prevent such problems from occuring.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X82X:
I am unable to remove the SD without removing the batter. However, I tried it anyway and still the problem remains. The system just doesn't show my ringtones. Yet I can browse the SD card perfectly otherwise.

I'm at a loss what else to try since the phone has been perfect up until now.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngmane:
well Sorry to say i had this problem with my g1 the only other option i can recomend is that you copy your most important files to your computer and then format the SD card and if that dosent work then sorry your going to have to buy a new one.

I just don't understand how mounting the SD card to get at my photos (which I have done many times in the past) has now rendered my SD card U/S.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X82X:
Ok. I've used rom manager to format and partition the SD card and copied my stuff back. The problem remains. I've even tried to re-install CM7 RC2 (without wiping cache and data) and still it happens. I thought I would be clever and modify the cm7 rc2 zip file and add my ringtones as ogg manually that way. But they don't show up on the phone either. What should I do now?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngmane:
try flashing another rom to see if it reads it could be a CM problem, Or go into setting/phone storge and click unmount then mount, if that fails then sorry man your going to have to buy a new sounds to me you currrupetd the SD crad from being able to be recognized.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X82X:
I think there is more afoot here than previously thought.

Another problem I have is to do with images.

On my SD card there is 2 folders, Wallpapers and DCIM/Camera. In the camera folder there is 10 images which I previously took with the phone and 2 new ones. Yet when I open the gallery app, only the 2 ones I have recently taken appear. And my wallpaper folder is missing also.

furthermore, if I browse the SD card in Astro for example and try to open any of the images in the gallery, they just appear as blank images. But if I open them in the Astro image viewer, they appear perfectly.

Strange things are happening to this phone and Im not 100% sure its the SD card anymore.

How can I sort this out?

Using rom manager last night, I put on the CM7 RC2 again, this time I wiped data and cache and modified the CM7 zip beforehand to manually put my ringtones on. Now they appear. But finding songs/pictures/tones from the SD is not possible. Only if I manually browse for them.

Very frustrating.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngmane:
have you tried flashing another rom to see if they read on it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X82X:
I think I've made some progress.

Taking in previous advice given here, I copied my files off the SD card, formatted it and put SOME not all, of the files back. It seems to have fixed it. Because Im not the smartest person in the world, my slapdash approach to problem solving means I can't say for sure if formatting the SD card fixed it, or there was a dodgy file/folder which corrupted things. But now its working as it would.

However, its produced an odd side effect. Every time I connect my phone to my computer via usb, it will always pop up with the USB mass storage menu, where I can tap it to turn on usb storage. Even if the phone is locked and I connect it, it will unlock the phone with a serious of quick clicks and bring up the menu. While the menu is up, if I lock the screen, it will just unlock in front of my eyes. But if I hit home then lock it, its fine. Very odd.

Why has this started to happen all of a sudden?
