Hello again, I need clarification with this subject...

I had a difficult time in rooting my android, thinking I failed. so for many times I rooted, installed xrecovery, then most importantly apps2sd. but I don't think it works, then I found all about Links2sd. I installed it, and each time after installing I always select the "link2sd" option, and I check the include davlik cache, but my phone memory is continually decreasing... is this normal or not? could there be a conflict with apps2sd and link2sd since I don't know if I have deleted apps2sd. sorry I'm an android newbie. Thanks..
[XPERIA X8 General] Graveir:
Well... if you had app2sd link2sd would monit about it and asked you to uninstall it first.

If you don't know if your phone is rooted, look through apps - if you have a superuser app - you're rooted ;)

As for link2sd working or not: connect your phone to the computer and open minitool partition wizard home. It will see your ext2 partition along with free and occupied space. If there are any apps on ext2 partition of your SD card - apps are installing there and the slight decrease of space is due to the existing shortcut files. Because you have created ext2 partition, haven't you?...
[XPERIA X8 General] nowonanx8:
I did what you said and yes I found files on the other partition I created. but problem is, some files still go to the phone memory, for example the game app "ninjump" has 15mb installed on the phone memory while on links2sd it shows that it is linked to the sd card.

also, I tried removing the memory card, and when I turned on my x8 the programs were missing, so I suppose links2sd is working.

only problem is now is that some chunks are still installed to the phone memory. is there a way of totally redirecting everything to the sd card?
[XPERIA X8 General] chequebo1:
link2sd: Leave data files in Internal Memory, and you can choose the apps to SD

app2sd: Copy all data from the application to the SD, It's all automatic
[XPERIA X8 General] Graveir:
Ok, here's the deal - how many times did you install ninjump in the past? If more then once, and meanwhile you moved it to or from ext2 it might have (though the probability is very slight) that you have two apps - one in internal storage and one in ext2 storage.

So, navigate into ext2 partition (it's a folder in root directory - sdext or so) and look for this app. It might be hard, as names of linked apps are somewhat messed up, but there should be icons ;) If there is no app on ext2, try switching it back to internal mode and then onto ext2 again - perhaps without linking dalvik cache.

Thank you, that was sooooo relevant! :rolleyes:

APP2SD

I having problem with the app2sd too..i dunno whether it works...This is what i had done..I had busybox, superuser, and xrecovery installed and rooted. But when come to partitioning the sd card, i partitioned it into 3 parts : FAt, ext2 and ext3...after that i installed the update.zip and custom zip of app2sd...the phone starts not recognizing the sd partition...anyone can help here??
[XPERIA X8 General] kuyagaol:
I use titanium backup to see app2sd works or not. if a2sd decrease, so it work.

if internal still decrease, I guess some file or even some app just can't work with app2sd.

one question too, how or can I move games data from fat sdcard to ext2 partition? like gameloft data. I need my fat space for other file
[XPERIA X8 General] nowonanx8:
I tried navigating to the ext2 partition using minitool partition wizard, and I indeed saw files that I have installed there. so do you mean that apps2sd is better than links2sd? thanks..
[XPERIA X8 General] Graveir:
Well... I'm not saying anything is better, though I used both solutions in three different ways.

For stock SE ROM link2sd is better, since you only need to partition SD card into primary fat32 and primary ext2 - nothing more. Then you install an app and all works fine.

With custom ROM you cannot use link2sd, since they all have app2sd hack preinstalled (well, you can always modify files, but what for?). Problem occurs when you have this hack AND ext2 partition. The hack then moves automatically all your apps to ext2 memory along with dalvik cache if you install them in internal storage. If you install in external storage, the app goes to fat32 secure folder and dalvik cache remains in ext2. If you don't have any ext on custom ROM, dalvik cache is always in internal storage, while you can move any non-system app onto fat32 sd card.

The ext2 solution in custom ROMs may seem convinient, but for me it was not. When you use apps like phone locator, they should always dwell in internal memory, since SD card can be easily taken out, while deleting such an app from a remotely locked down phone would require flashing, otherwise the device is useless for the thief ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] sandy_tea:
Well actually both app2sd and link2sd are typically similliar. I've tried app2sd before and it still leave some files in internal memory. So will link2sd. But link2sd is much more easier to use because once your phone is rooted you just need to install it on your phone without going through the adb shell thing. Easy for newbie for sure. But you just have to manually link new installed applications and games. That's what differ link2sd with app2sd. Now I'm using link2sd. If you want to make sure, why don't you try those froyo phone. Try to use the app2sd stuff on those phone. They still install some applications on their internal as well although they have built in app2sd.

Hey Guys,

My Medion 320 gb 2,5" hdd worked very well at 2.1..

but since i have froyo my hdd doesn't work anymore!:mad:

im not a dev but i think this is because the 101 give not enough power to the hdd. ( * the lamp at the hdd is on but the hdd is not turning..:( )

I have tried normal stock os and urukdroid ( 0.6 & 0.7 ) but nothing works.

I dont know but maybe someone can compile a kernel with more usbhost power output?^^

Or what can i do? Im not interested to buy me a new:D ( i know - 50€ - but im 14 = not enough money:D )

Hope anyone can help me..:o

Or it may be that you have the USB host port failure that many of us are seeing. (Just got an RMA# and sent mine in because of it.)

When you sleep or deep-sleep it, does the power light now stay on? That's a symptom.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamieboy88:
Hey guys,

This probably isn't just for DHD users but seeing as thats what im using i'll post it here!

So a while back i went through the custom ROM phase. I am by no means an expert in this area, im just able to follow instructions!

I rooted with visionary and went radio-off with the one click method (My phone was on 1.32). I gave a few ROMS a go and just preferred stock battery life etc so restored the stock ROM from my clockwork recovery back-up.

My question is how do i get my phone back to the state where it will receive official OTA updates from HTC (I've read that they wont work once you've done the S-off/radio-off procedure).

If its not possible to get it back to this state then what options do i have for getting official updates (say whenever HTC push the 2.3.3 ROM!)

Thanks Guys
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyb:
easy way , run ruu updater utility for your phone but you loose all data and settings
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diamond_dawg:
Unroot it and install stock rom. You should be able to get total updates then
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamieboy88:
How does this work?! :D

After some searching i found this LINK

Would that be what your referring to?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Yep, that's the guide to follow
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
That's the one. Use 1.32.405.6 RUU. Then you must turn your phone S-ON, you can follow the instructions in my radio s-off tool thread to do that.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToneyEricsson:
Is this correct that if you root and have S-OFF you won't receive updates? I asked that question at the time of rooting and was told that I would still get updates?

The only reason I rooted was to get Adfree working and get other such apps for rooted devices.

My Rom is the 1.32.405.6 as I bought the DHD all I have done is root with Visionary and got S-OFF.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamieboy88:
im in the same boat. wouldn't mind leaving my phone as is if id still recieve updates despite the root and s-off!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
S-OFF does not disable OTA updates, but root does.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamieboy88:
Oh so whenever there's an OTA available I can just unroot the phone? Or is it a little more complicated?!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToneyEricsson:
I used the S-OFF tool and Visionary temp root then perm root. How would we go about restoring everything when it comes to being able to get the 2.3 update?

Kind of wish I didn't root now as I was told the oppisite that S-OFF and rooting wouldn't effect getting updates.

Edit: I just used attempt unroot with Visionary, the DHD rebooted and I used root checker from the market and it says I don't have root now. Would this be sufficient to get updates now do you think?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Yep, that should be alright. If the OTA does not want to install, you can just flash HTC RUU and the issue will be fixed. You will get a notification about the OTA anyway, so you do not have to guess whether it works or not.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToneyEricsson:
Thanks that's good to know that the update notification will come and that by unrooting fixes any problems. In the meantime until 2.3 comes I think I'll reroot :D

I only rooted in the first place to get things like Adfree and Drocap2 working.
[Defy General] cwalton4077:
Im trying to root a tmobile motor blur. I didn't see the phone in the fourm. So I don't know if im in the right place.

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] androidino95:
Hi people! What's in your opinion best home replacement app for Wildfire? Except LauncherPro (it is smooth and fast but got old :/). Thanks. :)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
Although most will say Launcher Pro, I personally am a fan of ADW more than that. And, I bought EX a few weeks back, and, its far more amazing. :D

Other alternatives are GO Launcher, Zeam, and the upcoming SPB Shell (Although I dont know whether it will work on the WIldfire or not)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] androidino95:
@3xeno I got ADW EX. Thanks man, it's awesome! I used ADW free version too but the EX version is WAY more customizable. Again, thanks! :D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
No issues. Enjoy. :)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] GigiAUT:
I change launchers like my underwear, just to keep the experiences a little different and also because some go better with certain themes.

Right now I have GO Launcher because I like the themes, the classic them goes well with the UI look I'm after. Maybe later I'll restore my Launcher Pro or the launcher from Sony Ericsson because that had a nice glassy look too.

ADW isn't bad either but I can't buy the themes I would want to I don't bother.

I tried Panda Home too and it wasn't all that bad either.

So for looks, I'd say GO Launcher. For functionality and customisability I would say LauncherPro or ADW.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] djdevine2:
I like Zeam best, it's really fast! I've still got launcherpro plus though and occasional use it because of the cool widgets it has.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] WillKennerley:
I recently tried Launcher 7, a Windows phone 7 looking launcher. It had some great animations which ran smoothly on the Wildfire. This was great because it was highly customisable which I believe not all Windows phone 7 style launchers can do(?).

A new update for LauncherPro came out today, I'm using the pro version, it just added some widget improvements and a new Gmail widget.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] priv8:
I would vouch for this, i use Zeam a lot of the time however it does not have as much functionality as the other launchers but is extremely fast.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] melvinchng:
I have adw ex, it used almost 5 minutes to loaded up my 900mb (250apps) apps, but launcher pro plus only use 45seconds to load it, with a lot of widgets, after my phone reboot.

How about launcher pro plus?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Jac0verflow:
I would use Go Launcher if it supported better our qvga resolution...

Because I think its app drawer is the best for usability, but it looks so bad on the Wildfire screen: I would pay for a modded version.

Anyway I'm using LPro+ which is very fast and smooth.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] androidino95:
Yeah, GO Launcher sucks on this screen... But if you hide app names in drawer, it looks good. :) Anyway, I tried all of launchers people listed and they are great but I'm always going back to Sense. :D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] dud3me:
Can I use themes on launcher pro plus although I don't have root? I'm using adw ex atm coz of the themes and think that the app drawer is cooler.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] tim0312:
hey, whats about sbp shell 3d? its released :-) ... does it work on wildfire???
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kiamat:
I already try spb 3d.. not works on wildfire.. stock 2.2..
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] russel666:
I tried launcher pro, but always end up using Sense again, mostly because of the widgets, they are just so useful.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] -Howard-:
Ig you want widgets that look nice buy lancher pro plus then follow the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=783427 to get nice themed one which look 100% better than the standard grey :D
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] darknight55:
I recently also downloaded launcher 7.

I ditched ADW for it.

Kinda like the little customizations for launcher 7, bring a newer look from other launchers which basically look the same.

Only downside is, the widgets all look tiny, so I have to live without widgets (which I dont normally use anyways).
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kwajda:
GO Launcher in my opinion is the best. It has many functions such as closing running applications.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] roxylove:
Hate to say it, but I LOVE Launcher PRO! ADW Launcher is a pretty good 2nd-bet, however Launcher Pro, IMO has much better options!
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
Why would you hate to say it? To each his own. :p

Build.prop?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
I probably wouldn't bother. No advantages that I've heard of. Even the stock 1.80 says Desire HD in the phone and BT information. Best to ignore it.

Sent from Desire HD or Inspire 4G or whatever this thing is called via premium XDA app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lwfb:
Yes, edit the build.prop.

Its not difficult, get root explorer, go to system, R/O mode, and open build.prop in the text editor.

When you make a change it saves your last build too, as a backup, just in case.

[LG Optimus 2x] XtremeCoolz:
i'm new to android and i've been waiting this since CES n now i've got it in Singapore!

However, when I switched on my 2X i found there's no any preloaded games that mentioned in the gsmarena review, the spiderman and shrek kart, tegra zone as well.The set comes with a HDMI cable too.

Anyway, that doesnt matter a lot but I dont understand why i can't buy paid apps? and market not even show those paid apps too.

ROM and stuff i'm learning now too but if there's anyone who kind enough u can simply post here, starting from the basics =D

much appreciated!
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
go to the appdrawer, then press on the icon named "preinstalled apps" and a list of apps will appear, including the games you mention - click on the ones you want to have installed. The apps are delivered as installation packages on the phone, but not preinstalled - LG leave it up to you to deside which of these you want to install.
[LG Optimus 2x] XtremeCoolz:
erm. I cant see any appdrawer? but i clicked on the application thr's folder called preloaded apps but only 4 useless apps inside, like the compass apps etc.

and i just realise my location are not support paid apps. so if i root my hp will i able to purchase paid apps?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
A) Ok do this presss menu>settings>applications>manage applications>press the "All" tab>Scroll down to HTC Sense and tap it> scroll down and select "clear defaults"> now from the Home button on your phone(looks like a house)>A Complete Action Using window should appear> Check the "Use by default for this action" button>then select launcher pro......Laucher pro should be your default launcher now.

B) under settings>Language & Keyboard. Check the box next to all the keyboards to enable them. now open a text or something where you need to type. tap & hold in the text field until the "Edit Text" window appears then select Input Method and then pick your poison....DONE.

Hope that answers your questions bud.

Hi, Gurus:

Not sure this is the right forum, but since this tends to be the more techie-centric area, I thought I'd try here.

I support a number of systems that are mainframe- or AS/400-based, and these systems rely heavily on function keys and special keys not necessarily common to Android system. I am trying to understand what changes I need to make to /system/usr/keylayout/my_device.kl in order to get my_device to properly process, say, function key keystrokes.

I have been unable to locate the values I need on either side of the equation (scan code vs. what gets sent). Any advice from members here?

Thanks!

Do you know the service Nudgemail offers?

Wouldn't be great to have an Android client for it?

My phone was stock, non-rooted, and I loved it. Been waiting for Gingerbread on these phones as my wife has it on her EVO and its awesome. A few days ago I wake up and phone wants to do some sort of update. Come to find out it was the update to EC05. At first I was excited, but after a few days now, I want to throw my phone in the trash. Why?

-Camera forecloses

-Hardware keyboard now skips letters every other word, never did it before

-Messaging icon on home screen of samsung layout now has unread msg counter that takes forever to update

-Messaging app is all stupid colors and unprofessional looking

-Phone lags constantly from opening apps to simply unlocking at the home screen

-Screen set for 15 sec timeout, but times out after like 5 secs

I could keep going on and on...

On good things I noticed are:

-Task manager now listed as an app that I can put on the home screen

-News & weather app

-Wifi connects faster

-Battery life a little better

I don't know what version of Eclair I had besides that it was 2.1.1. Is there a way I can revert back to my Eclair and remove this OTA update, or is it irreversible?

If not, it looks like I have to get into rooting my phone and start loading custom roms which sucks because this phone has been problem free for me since the day the Epic came out :(

Be warned, if you flash back to DI18, your phone will see the update and prompt you to install it again. If you hit install later, it will prompt you every time you wake the phone from sleep. Other than going to a custom rom, i'm not sure how to disable the update service. Maybe someone else can help with that.
[Epic 4G General] icecold23:
I believe if you change the build.prop to the proper EC05 information, you would be able to avoid having the phone prompting you to update. Granted, you would need root access, and something like Root Explorer to accomplish this.

Also, you would need the correct EC05 info to change...

But there are two lines you would need to change...

ro.build.description=GT-I9000-user 2.2.1 FROYO XXJPY release-keys

ro.build.fingrtprint=samsung/GT-I9000/GT-I9000:2.2/FROYO/XXJPO:user/release-keys

The values are off my phone, with SyndicateROM running. I believe if you change those on your phone (whatever the DI18 values are) to what the EC05 values are...

If someone could post them...
