[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TriAxisFL:
I've used my girlfriend Olympus camera and my Nikon camera to format my card (Centon 16GB) on a few occasions. But I have to trick the card to get it to be detected in the cameras. If I just put the card in the camera normally it doesn't detect it, but when I do the following steps it always works.

1. Hard reset (format) my phone using the 3 hardware buttons

without

the card in it.

2. Turn the phone off and install the sd card.

3. Hard reset (format) a 2nd time using the 3 hardware buttons, but

with

the card still in.

4. Turn the phone off and take out the card. Do not reboot, you must turn the phone off after the 2nd hard reset.

5. Insert the card into a camera and try a format.

Not sure why, but if I reboot after hard resetting, my camera's cannot detect or format the card. Its possible that the encryption isn't written until you reboot after a card is formatted.

This seems ... really extreme. I hope in the future Microsoft releases some sort of service tool (like the one for the NoDo update) that will allow recognition and format of cards on Windows.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colossus_r:
Its easy m8...very easy

If you dont have one, get a 5$ card reader and use this tool to format the card in your pc

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domineus:
and you've tried this on a real windows phone 7 device not the hd2 convert? there is a huge diff
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobfisher29:
If you can find a Mac with a card reader, then you can clear out the partition with the Mac Disk Utility.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OndraSter:
You can use pretty much anything - I tried it on Windows Mobile (HTC formating SD card utility - worked fine), Android (SGS with FroYo - had to press Format twice - worked fine), desktop WIndows and SD card in card reader - with using diskpart (list disk, select disk X, select partition 1, delete, select partition 1, delete, create partition blabla - worked fine too)

Haven't tried Linux box :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voluptuary:
You have an HD2, if you have an official WP7 device the card is set up very different. So far the only way known to "normalize" the SD card is to use a Nokia phone or odd tricks with random cameras.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colossus_r:
I think this is not true.

Hello M8...

HD2 runs wp7 and the formating and partition of the sd card its the same with any wp7 device...

Its working ... i change my first sd a 4gb card that i had installed wp7 with another bigger one (8gb).

The tools that i have post, can delete any wp7 partion

You can even copy partition to a usb hard disk for backup before you delete it.

And for this to be resolved:

1. Can you please get the minitool partition wizard and try to delete that partition and see whats happen ????

2. Please report back your findings ??

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domineus:
partition is NOT the same. For hd2 converts running windows phone 7, 200 mb partition of the hd is partitioned to be recognized by windows, therefore making any low level formatting utility work to regain the initial amount of memory as if it was new. BUT for real wp7 devices, the partition scheme is different and cannot be recognized by any computer. Making the partition tool completely and utterly useless...

For non converts (HD2 devices) the only way is to use a nokia device. Otherwise you will be SOL
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colossus_r:
Sensboston ... You are right .... I stand corrected.

Sinse as i already said i have an HD2 running WP7 i was under the impression that is the same.

No its not....Its different on the HD2 format for wp7..

And seems that the Nokia solution its the one that works for now...

Now because of this i found the time to learn more about wp7 sd cards.

If any one wants to read more here is a good start with more links

Seems that SD Formatter 3.0 has the abillity to format WP7 Cards ????

This member here says that he did it with the that app.

Can anyone confirm this ????

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncassidy90:
PLEASE PLEASE HELP

Ok so my phone is rooted, i installed anim mod and when i was installing one of the mods from the app i had to reboot. i rebooted but the phone loaded up as far as the Galaxy S logo and then went black and the lights of the buttons stayed on.

Ok so i could get into the recovery mode, but i tried all the options there tried clearing everything and it said it did but everytime i rebooted same thing kept happening.

So finally after freaking out i got on youtube and found a video called "How To Restore The Samsung Captivate To Factory Firmware With Odin3 One Click Downloader". not realising captivate isnt exactly the same phone as gt i9000. (sorry cant post the link)

I downloaded the drivers and started using odin3 one click downloader. so i got into download mode then plugged in usb and done the fix but...

Now im stuck with a screen flashing saying "at&t world phone" and neither the recovery mode or download mode will work at all i tried numerous times.

Experts please i would be so grateful if you could help me out

also my warranty is obv void now im guessing, is there a way of paying samsung to get it fixed or do i need a warranty or can i buy a warranty??

Thanks guys

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Can we presume that you do know how to access download mode ??

and you have followed the instructions for download recovery with the jig .

If so and it fails you need a Samsung Service Centre .

Hi guys!

The MIUI ROM is getting better and better every day, it would really be great to have it in my lanuage wich is Dutch.

I've been looking around and I'm wondering if it would be hard to translating it to Dutch or maybe someone is able to assist me with it?

Would be so awesome!

Kind regards,

[Thunderbolt General] schwab16:
Just curious about what ROMS and kernels people have liked best so far.
[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
Right now I am devoted to using the Das_BAMF series of ROMs as well as the kernel by Adrynalyne. I find it works very well for what I need.
[Thunderbolt General] utkanos:
I like debloated stock personally, using my own kernel.
[Thunderbolt General] headcheese:
me too. staying with this until CM7 comes out.
[Thunderbolt General] utkanos:
I'll definitely be switching to cyanogenmod when it is complete, much prefer it to anything else.
[Thunderbolt General] slowr6:
Das_BAMF, perfect for me so far.
[Thunderbolt General] engagedtosmile:
Das BAMF as well with the 1.76ghz kernel. It's a beast.
[Thunderbolt General] chrisjm00:
boLTEd 0.3. Drods 1.8 kernel running like a champ.
[Thunderbolt General] emarusamun:
Virusrom, testing out several kernals using adrynalyne 2.0 ATM. Liking it. Better battery life than running OC'd all the time. Bolts still quick at 768mhz. Mo Batry!

Tbolt - VirusRom_rc1b2-drod1.8ghz
[Thunderbolt General] BurnOne77:
Das bamf with the newest kernel 1228 on CPU perfect light OC.

Tbolt seems even more snappy, battery seems to be better also with smartass CPU setting.

My first Android my first ROM and kernel and I could not be happier.
[Thunderbolt General] Cg006:
Ive been rocking Virus Rom also for like a week. Extremely solid rom with Adrenalines 2.0 kernel.
[Thunderbolt General] ibsk8:
Running boLTEd .35 and the 1.8 kernel, drod is a solid dev. I was with him on the dx. And will stick with him on the thunderbolt. If you want speed and stability drod and b16 is where it will likely be.
[Thunderbolt General] Cadillac Johnson:
Amen to that.

1.3.2 with the 1.2ghz smartass kernel is a dream. :cool:
[Thunderbolt General] aostl:
Perfect storm and drods 1.5 kernel. I got liquid sense on the sdcard but Havnt tried it. I'm probably the only person who likes recent apps in the pulldown lol. Kinda limits my Rom choices.
[Thunderbolt General] schwab16:
ok, ya i have tried most of the roms and i really like bamfs rom, i have tried the 1.8 ghz kernel and 1.2 right now. i'm just interchanging the kernels with roms right now to find a good combo of speed and battery, but i'm definitely going to get cm7 when its released

Is this actually the xperia arc rom? I thought it was really really hard to port from a HDPI device to a MDPI device?

EDIT: Ok I get it, based on CM7, using Arc launcher. Sounds good, I'll try it in a few days :)

Unfortunately I can't test new ROMs until the end of the week - what's working and what isn't? I.e. wifi, 3g, etc etc?
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:
working

because its the whole cm7 base everything that works in cm7 should work on this rom too
[Legend Android Development] sda2:
GPS and WiFi / HSPA works fine.

But as soon as i try to add a widged, SE home crashes :/ But maybe thats because I flashed A2SD :D

Now reflashing without A2SD
[Legend Android Development] MaBlo:
Great, I'll flash it tomorrow when the new version is out.
[Legend Android Development] Pharaohnough:
I flashed it out of curiosity

It's a good start but all the visual elements are a bit too fine/thin (perhaps because of the HDPI->MDPI port

Apart from that it has some nice aesthetic touches to it

I'm now restoring my NANDROID from my previous ROM because you can't really do much without the Settings app in a newly flashed ROM

Good start though
[Legend Android Development] xennr3:
Can someone please add screenshots? If you ported the ui from Sony I'll definitely try this rom at this weekend :)
[Legend Android Development] v001:
Looks really great, but settings and widgets are not working...
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:
new version this friday

i needed to postpone the update to friday

this version will contain a fix for widgets and settings plus timescape
[Legend Android Development] Trekvogel:
I'll definitely test it then. I really like CM7 and adding Xperia stuff to it only makes it more appealing. I'm just wondering how smooth it is. I tried the Arc launcher and found it to become a bit laggy when using a lot of widgets.
[Legend Android Development] xennr3:
Wow :) great to hear
[Legend Android Development] Pharaohnough:
Timescape UI would be great. It looks awesome

[Legend Android Development] typhoonscotland:
It works however due to the porting e.t.c. some apps force close, which have previously worked with CM7. However great work, but would be better if Timescape worked properly, and was resized for the screen properly. :D

Thanks,

EDIT: You can actually upgrade from CM7 to Arced for Legend without wiping if you wish to save your apps and settings. :)
[Legend Android Development] Pharaohnough:
I agree... It has a lot of potential as a unique ROM if these two points can be addressed, Timescape and the display resolution/scaling

Great start

[Legend Android Development] myth999:
@tobesson

If u got any issues with timescape, I can help :D

Btw for bootloops do check if any of ur apk is causing an issue.

Sometimes an edited settings apk inbuilt in a rom, prevents it from booting.

However if u flash the new settings apk over the old one after rom has booted once it works.

Regards,

Myth

Edit: forgot to mention do use retail version of arcs app, they have been improvised by SE and don't lag

Edit2: arc timescape modded for ldpi shall work for ur phones
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:
thanks

well the timescape looks a little dark and the widget doesnt show on the arc launcher any more

and do you mean that i should flash only the settings.apk over the rom

thanks for helping!
[Legend Android Development] myth999:
Let the rom being flashed have an uneditedd settings apk.

Then boot rom and open settings change somethng.

Then reboot and flash edited settings apk. This should solve ur prob.

As for timescape background will do something about it soon.
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:
now i get a real bootloop doesnt get anywhere
[Legend Android Development] myth999:
o0ps that solution worked for an X10 rom so i suggested it :|

have you any solution for the widget thing

[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:
i acctually have an webhosting space but have not uploaded it there yet

but mirrors is always great

this one will have timescape and widget + launcher with dock + market and i removed some useless apps

[Legend Android Development] Pharaohnough:
Only been using it a few minutes (obviously) but I have to say I'm well impressed. It's snappy and responsive and best of all you've come up with something very unique in terms of look and feel, especially with elements like Timescape, the SEMC wallpaper picker, SEMC Widgets like the clock etc.

Do you plan on maintaining and evolving this ROM in future or is this just a one-off? Looking forward to the new music app too..

Keep up the great work!

What version Google Apps should we be using with this ROM? I tried flashing the one for CM 7 Nightlies but I get a lot of FCs where the GAPPS Setup Wizard should normally be running
[Legend Android Development] tobbeson:

im currently uploading 1.5 but the gapps window should popup after loging in to google

you should not flash gapps that will not work
