Nope actually not. Found a simpler method that's easier for noobs.

So here goes in very short since I don't have links

1. Split memory card into two partitions. I used 1GB. I did the partitioning on Ubuntu as it was much easier to just resize the partition using gparted. I am not sure what file systems are supported for the apps but i used ext3 for the 1GB. Backup should not be necessary but you are welcome to be careful

2. Root phone with z4root, very straightforward process

3. Install Link2SD from Android Market.

4. Once its installed, it'll prob ask for root permissions. Grant them.

5. Open Link2SD and in the list, one by one for each app you'd like to move, select and it opens a page with some details. Just click on create link, and in the next page an option for moving cache also shows. Select that too. Then the app gets moved in the background and slowly your space starts increasing.

6. I did not move any preinstalled apps that came with the phone. Just moving the apps I installed gave me plenty of space not to worry with App 2 SD (froyo method) or anything. Also with this method, mounting for USB Mass Storage also gets quicker.

What's there not to line?

Always do a nandroid backup! I didn't as i didn't think much of an app.. my phone went into continued android logo loop. After several tries of battery pull,I managed to get into the phone but many of my apps went missing.. sighz...

Running Stock rom
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gontadu:
You mean the backup option that is there in clockwork mod recovery menu right? I screwed up the files once and the backup came in real handy!

It may not help you but I was using megatron rom froyo 2.2 and had barley any memory space on my phone and since I flashed CM7 rom from milk I have tons of space I have twice as many as many apps and stol 100 megabits left
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gontadu:
Just curious, on a scale of 10 how hard is it to get cm7 onto your optimistic? And any clue whether existing settings are lost? Any other benefits? And features missing? It would be nice if we either got more battery life or better performance if not both :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Dr.Alani:
I use a stock ROM (2.2.1) and I have rooted and installed "Move2SD Enabler" from the market and moved all the apps to SD (except for widgets) in the plain simple old fashion. I currently have over 150 apps installed with about 90MBytes of internal memory free.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maxxd01:
Hello,

I had an HTC Touch Dual (WM) in the past, and back then it was very easier to unlock (use other network carriers) the phone - using a tutorial from this forum.

I'm about to buy a HTC blocked by T-Mobile and I'm wondering if there's any way to do the same to use it with other carrier at another country. I think what I am asking is a way to CID unlock without code.

I've searched through the stickies but I honestly didnt find the information, I'm sorry if I missed it. I also sorry if it's not the wrong section, I'm not sure where (and if) we can put this question here.

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minty1978:
try using something like this:

http://www.htcunlocking.co.uk/

There is no 'free' way of unlocking. unless the current owner with the T-Mobile account calls tmobile and asks them for the code.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maxxd01:
Well, things changed :)

It's not very expensive though, assuming it works :=
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdejager:
Depends on the age of the phone, If you have it 1 or 2 years already call your provider and they must give you a code and with that you can remove the simlock, that is how I did it with the Hero and my old samsung and Nokia. Soo I would give them a call or look on the site.

And if that is not the case. Go to some phone shop, a small one and they will do it for ya for 10 bucks, works to.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bonesy:
Do you mean Locked to a carrier or Blocked by a carrier? if you mean locked then yes its possible with a paid unlock code.If you mean Blocked i.e Stolen or reported Lost then NO when an unlock code is requested through IMEI it gets logged that its been BLOCKED as its stolen/lost and they will just BLOCK it again
[G Tablet Accessories] bnovak:
Trying to gauge interest for a pet project.

How many of you would be interested in an adapter that would allow you to use a laptop "brick" to charge your G-Tab?

First design is going to be for the Dell laptop power supplies (since I have a plethora of them :D )

If there is enough interest in other laptop supplies I will look at different connectors as well.

No idea on mfg costs right now, need to prove concept first. Cost target (Resale) is ~$10
[G Tablet Accessories] severusx:
I'd like to see and adapter that fits the Dell D and E series Latitude chargers.
[G Tablet Accessories] bnovak:
That's the one I'm aiming for initially. Newer series Dell with the ROUND receptacle. I "think" it might still work with the octagonal receptecles though. Need to get some samples and try it out for fit.

Cost might be sligthly higher than I originally anticipated (Still <$20 though) - the damn Dell connector is a quasi-custom and cheapest I've found is $6+ shipping....grumble....

If the old receptacles work, that brings the cost down.

Haven't priced the tablet side connector yet, but I'm guessing it's going to be a couple bucks with a lead on it.

More to come....hoping to have some parts by next week to start building up protos.
[G Tablet Accessories] nunjabusiness:
I'd be very interested in something that would plug into a USB port on a desktop or laptop or any USB power supply.
[G Tablet Accessories] dav_t:
I have a couple of D-Series laptops and would love to use the same charger for them and my G-Tab. I would definitely buy one.
[G Tablet Accessories] bnovak:
If you have USB3.0 it "might" be possible as that has higher current carrying (3.6W) potential than USB1 and USB2.0 which are ~500mW at best. That's one disadvanage to the big ass battery in these things, which I think are 7.2V, so they usually require a higher input voltage (hence why we get 12V in). Even with USB3.0 though, we are still looking at long (10x+) charging times versus the wall-wart.

It's "technically" possible to step up the current USB 5V to 12V, but the power level is so low that it would take forever and a day to charge ( or about 48x longer than the current 12V/2A wall charger)

without a proper teardown though, it's tough to tell what the charging circuit looks like on the board. My guess is it's a 12V / 7.2V buck charger as it's cheaper than a boost/buck to implement. My bigger question about the internal charging circuit though is what it actually draws in terms of power...the wall wart is rated for 12V/2A, but those are usually overbuilt to prevent them from blowing up. Hoping it's closer to 1A draw, but again without knowing what the charger chip is, there's no (Easy) way to determine this without probing the connections.
[G Tablet Accessories] ghaleous:
Count me in as well. I travel a ton for work and having one less charger to stuff in my carry-on would be great - well worth the sub-$20 price.

I currently pack a PA-4E, stock charger for a Latitude E6510
[G Tablet Accessories] MagickBeans:
I would be interested, though I have an ASUS laptop at the moment.

On a side note, if you did only decide to make one and it were for Dell, anyone could purchase a universal adapter and care the one adapter and two tips. Just a thought.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid_JD:
I was looking through one of the sense threads the other day, and I saw a link to a file where you can flash CWM 2.5.1.2 ( i think) while in 3.0.0.8. I was wondering if anyone knew how to do this in order to get 3.0.0.7 too.

I have NO idea what to do in order to make it work. Just thought it would be neat to do.

I like using 3007 because it allows you to have (completely unnecessary) multi-touch.

Attached is the file. You just flash it in CWM.

Thanks for anyones help/advice!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
I'm confused about your question are you saying that you want to use 3.0.0.7? if so I need to ask you have you used it before and does your incredible have slcd screen?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid_JD:
I have an amoled screen, but I revert back to 3007 fairly often as it allows multi-touch to work (I know it's not necessary, just a silly thing I like).

RM lately has been acting up when trying to flash 3007. When I reboot to recovery, recovery doesn't exist. I'm able to boot into android, and boot into hboot, but not recovery. In order to get 3007 working I generally have to flash/reboot 2-3 times. I was thinking if there were a way to make a temp recovery of 3007, similar to how the attached file works, that could make the process much easier/less time consuming.

If it can't be done no biggie.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
I'm sure it can be done let me look at how they made the file real quick
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdiman:
Check the link in my signature. The OP describes how to do this.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid_JD:
Thanks for the advice TD, and thanks for looking into this Newto.

I'll do some playing on my end to see if the 2x flash works... i feel like it hasn't before though, but I could very well be mistaken.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
No problem bro good luck and be careful
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
I found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010807

All thanks to Brainmaster for whipping this up..

I will post the results I've had to save you a few steps...

I did his test mothod using root explorer and sd Tools and tested each one of his recommended settings..

(I have the stock SDcard that came in my showcase, i'm assuming it's probably the same in the Mesmerize?) It's a Samsung microSDHC class2 16GB..

I'm running the EB11pnp3 with voodoo lagfix enabled. The OP says you need to test these to see which one works for you. But I thought that if we have the same phone/same sdcard then it MAY be the same results...

so here's my Results:

128 3.7 MB/s "WRITE" 14.1 MB/s "READ" **This is what the phone is set to at default

1024 3.2/14.6

2048 5.1/14.4

3072 5.3/15.0

4096 6.7/15.0 <<<this is as far as he has listed and it gives the best results, Doubling the "Write" time and improving the "READ" time by a LITTLE!!!

I haven't tried flashing yet, still reading through the pages, but came across this POST.. Which may be the way we would have to make it stick past rebooting...

Maybe some of the SCH-I500's dev can take a look at this and improve it even more for us..

After Testing for hours, i could never get a reliable score with SD tools from the market.. I'm thinking this is just one more ****ty issue with the Galaxy S phones!!! Thanks Samsung, I'll never buy any more of your **** products..
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Is there any risk of data loss or card failure doing this?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
not sure why there would be, you're just adding cache to the sdcard... and like the OP states, if you do this through rootexplorer it reverts back to factory after rebooting..

You have to do one of his methods to make it permanent...
[Samsung Mesmerize] 123SIT:
There's also an app in the Market called SD Speed Boost which does the same thing. It doesn't require you to use Root Explorer to change the value and it has a Set at Boot option so no flashing from recovery is required either.
[Samsung Mesmerize] hanman:
I bet you could use Tasker to automate this at boot time as well. Nice find, Elijah. I had seen the app, but I would rather do it this way.
[Samsung Mesmerize] 123SIT:
If you flash one of the zips from the original post it is automated or if you use the app I mentioned it is automated, not really sure why you'd need another method to accomplish automation but to each their own. The zips just copy a shell script to init that set the value at each boot and the app just sets it when it runs at each boot. Of course the init route would occur prior to the app, but don't see much difference regardless of the chosen solution.

EDIT: Also YMMV with whatever option you choose to apply this mod. 1meg,2meg,3meg,4meg all yielded similar results for me, but I'm not using the Class 2 16gig that comes with the phone. I would imagine slower cards would see more of a benefit.
[Samsung Mesmerize] hanman:
The reason I would rather use Tasker is to limit the number of things besides the ROM that I'm flashing to the phone (just to keep things as clean as possible). Plus, with Tasker doing it at boot, any future ROMs I install won't need any tweaking. I'll just have to import my profiles, which I'll be doing anyway.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
ok flashing in CWM didn't work... It didn't hold the value change after rebooting..

And speaking of the app that does this... The Galaxy S isn't listed as compatible
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12478126&postcount=74

this post is interesting.. but the thing is that our phones don't have the /system/etc/init.d
[Samsung Mesmerize] 123SIT:
Just verified that the app does change the value to whatever I select. Could be that the author just hasn't tested on Galaxy S and therefore didn't risk saying that it was compatible. I mean were just talking file manipulation here, nothing more.

SN: I am not that author of the software nor do I know the author of the software. I'm just trying to help and I happened to know about the app cause I downloaded it a while ago. I know no one said anything, but as I read back over my post I did sound like a spokesperson for the app, lol.
[Samsung Mesmerize] 123SIT:
Point taken sir.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
well, thanks for the tip..

and thanks for the SN.. Because to be honest i was kinda wondering about that lol ;)
[Samsung Mesmerize] 123SIT:
Last thing I want is to get flamed for trying to help. :D
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
ha, no problem..

and i'm glad to hear the app works, but this seems like it shouldn't be that hard to figure it out... I have a feeling some GREAT minds are reading this ;)

edit*

I've read through the entire 27 pages of the OP and haven't figured it out, think i've seen a couple people saying writing a script will do the job, but the probelm is it says to push the scripts to a folder that's not on our phone :( i think that may be the hardest part......
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
well, got 4096 to stick after rebooting, now to see if i still have the speeds.... If it works i'll update the first post....
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
So what's the fastest Write/READ scores you've gotten with the app? And you have a showcase right?

Also let me know what sdcard you've got..

I'm just trying to see what speeds i should be trying to achieve..
[Samsung Mesmerize] add144:
Bringing the triple post back there Eli?
[Samsung Mesmerize] 02busa:
I too tried the OP flash via CWM earlier... speeds seem to vary through my tests with SD Tools.
[Samsung Mesmerize] 123SIT:
I'm getting around 8mb write/ 20mb read on a transcend class 6 8gb card. I technically have a fascinate that ive mesmerized. I also went back and made the manual changes without using the app and they almost mirrored when using the app, minus normal variances of course.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
well, if that's all it gives with you a class 6 card, then there's definitely no point with a class 2...

It looks like yet another shortcoming of The Galaxy S phones. All the HTC report SIGNIFICANT Gains, yet our phone barely budges..

I hate this phone more and more everyday
[Samsung Mesmerize] hanman:
a 300% increase in write speed hardly indicates no point. even a 10% increase in read speed is not too bad. also, faster cards would naturally see less benefit from cache size increases. part of the reason HTC phones see a larger improvement is because many of them have their caches set to 32K, while ours is set to 128K.

don't give up on the phone just yet. i sometimes get the impression that Samsung intentionally crippled certain parts (perhaps to make the next iteration more appealing), but most of that can be fixed by intrepid hackers, which this community has in spades.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
well, after running test for about 4 hours last night.. I never acheived any great improvements... Some times the stock setting actually outperformmed the changes.. So, that's why i said that i can't seem to get any benefit out of it... Not to say someone else can't..

And again, It seems like the HTC's are the ones seeing the HUGE gains (as always)!!!!

With all the things Samsung has done to GIMP the galaxy S phones, whether intentional or not, has made me learn my lesson...

It's just sad when you spend more time trying to tweak your phone than you do actually using it because the manufacturer did such a piss poor job on it...

just my .02
[Samsung Mesmerize] 02busa:
Which is why i love my Evo... Signal on it kicks the crap outta my showcase, ALWAYS.. Surprising how well, being sprint...
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
just to let everyone know JT, found a sdcard speed fix for the sch-I500's... it's in his kernel...

check my post for the differences.. And this was without lagfix enabled, with Lagfix enabled my Read speeds actually went up a little more....

Hello,

Maybe u guys can help me?? I have bionix 1.3.1 and tigers blood kernel and ginger red theme but i had over stock kernel before. In the beginning when i first installed my rom i would hook it up to my pc or a wall outlet it would recognize my phone and it would charge. But lately when ever i plug it into wall outlet or to my pc it wont charge and the only way it will charge is if i reboot while its plugged in. Then when it comes back on it starts to charge, weird huh???? Does anyone know how to fix this? CAN Someone Plz help me???

TY so much for ur help!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
thats odd. I havent run both in unison but i know they both werk with no probs respectively. Which versions are you running? Bionix1.3.1? Tigerbloodv3?.... maybe try a reflash? i'm charging my phone atm if no one else replies in an hour i'll flash them both for ya and post my results, but im thinking its prob gonna be a simple reflash or redownload fix kinda thing:rolleyes: at this point Bionix and Tigersblood are proven game winners and DD's. good luck!:)

I flashed back to Bionix1.3.1 yesterday flashed Tigersbloodv3 on top of it. Ran it all day plugged into my PC with no problems of charging or internal/external mount to PC. Everything werked perfectly for me all day. Flashed theme Mortalkombat SubZero ontop and plugged into wall outlet charged all night with no problems here.

I'll keep running it to see if anything pops up.

- How long was it till you started having charge isues?

- Have you tried reflash?(prob fix it)

- Have you tried redownload?(prob fix it)

- Have you tried another theme since?(maybe its a theme issue{unlikely})

good luck!:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.orange303:
did you fix?

I agree about wall charger. Get an extra batt too then u can always have a batt with 100% and flash away.

lets us know how it goes. Good luck!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
I use both a wall charger and pc and they both dont work! only when i turn it off and reboot does it start to charge!! I did a factory wipe before the new rom I just flashed from bionix 1.3.1 to darkys 9.5 from toxic heroes and it is still doing it??? THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!! I HAVE TO TURN MY PHONE OFF ONCE A DAY NOW!!! does anyone have any ideas to why my phone wont charge unless its rebooted????

ty for ur help
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.orange303:
does it do it on stock jpd? if all roms do it, tou nay have a bad usb.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcshmo:
I am having the exact same problem, the phone wouldn't charge unless I reboot it, then it would work for a little bit. After a short while, the phone wouldn't charge again when I have it plugged in.
