You can just use your T-Shirt the clean part that is :D
[Captivate General] whiteguypl:
Ive fiddled with these roms on and off for months now, always wanting to actually create my own. The problem i run into every time i actually get myself to the point where im going to jump into the river its almost impossible (for me at least) to get any information on most of the random smaller fixs/mods.

For the most part if i dig around enough in the i9000 forums i can find what i need. Problem there being not all of them work on captivate and some require additional work. (For instance, flashing i9000 themes on a i9000 captivate rom can break a decent amount of functionality or perks.

Every now and then the bigger fixes will show up with there own posts in the dev section and you can actually find them with a search and some reading. However (again, for me at least) most are practically non existent and hardly even mentioned accept in change logs of other roms.

..................................................

I can totally understand people not openly talking about a specific fix they have found/implemented out in the open. People will eventually use it and give you no credit. To fight that, im assuming, a lot of people form teams, these teams exchange information with each other fairly freely. The problem i see with that is that you can easy replace the term team here with the term inner circle (this is not a bash so please for the love of god do not take it that way). Im also more then aware that even though teams exist, most members of said teams are really nice people and will openly give someone information on how to fix things if asked, be it by pm or any of the numerous irc channels that are around.

..................................................

What i think would make a lot of sense and help speed up rom fix's/patch's is a database of working fixs/patch's. As in, information on where they need to go and how to implement them without breaking something else. Obviously with credit to the finders of the information. Maybe even a locked sticky so it doesnt get hounded with questions from people that really have no idea what there even asking. Or even on one of the various websites from users, or even a section in the wiki.

I just think that in the long haul this would lead to a lot less people figuring out fix's that already existed and a lot more finding newer and better ways of doing things. And a lot more options on the table.

....................................................

If this exists already, and i have just been oblivious to it for months, please ignore my rantish post.... Right after you toss me a link ;)

Do you have enough free space on your SD card?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobby.O:
Yes I do i hope i do anyways i have 25.00gigs
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
Do you do factory data reset/clear cache/ clear dalvik? Are you using cwm 2.###? Do you wipe first with cwm3 then cwm? You really shouldnt have this much problems , you may want to go back to complete stock. Are you downloading roms to pc then transfering? Maybe files are corrupted. Thats about all i can tjink of. I dl roms directly from phone, then reboot to recovery to install. Never use rom manager.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobby.O:
I clear dvlik cache/cache/data and i'm using clockworkmod version 2.5.x.x i will not use 3.0 and im downloading roms to pc and then flashing and i wont touch rom manager and when i download from the phone i keep getting no enough freespace i think its trying to save it to the phone or something and not the sd card.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirftwx:
It would help if you would create full sentences with proper grammar and spelling... It only adds to the confusion to what your problem actually is. Try re-downloading the ROM. If it doesn't work again, try upgrading CWM, you can always downgrade it later if you need/want to. As donny said, the file may have been corrupted, I had this happen to me the very first time I tried flashing a custom ROM. I re-downloaded it, and re-copied it onto my phone and that seemed to work for me.
[HTC Aria General] pcrat:
Ok so i bought a new 8gb Sandisk Micro sdhc card. the problem is i cant partition it. ive tried 3 different partition programs and none will allow me to delete the main Fat32 and create new. My old 2gb works fine.

I can reformat it but just cant delete or create any partitions.

Any suggestions?
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
Use windows to format it to fat32. Then use Ubuntu, either installed or from a live cd, and use gparted to create whatever partitions you want.

[HTC Aria General] drumist:
You can also use Clockwork.
[HTC Aria General] lsusparky621:
I do all partitioning using GParted in Ubuntu. Never had a problem.
[HTC Aria General] pcrat:
Ok i tried Gparted and it wont partition, comes up with errors, then i cant format it back to fat32, so i have to use windows. I still have the reciept, maybe i will bring it back today and get a new one. this one is probebly faulty.

oh yea and clockwork dont have an option to partition. i tried rom manager and it reboots then tries to do it , progress bar goes anout 25% then reboots normallay. unsuccesful.
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
If you are having trouble formatting the card, I recommend trying this before returning it: http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/

It's a very simple tool but it is designed specifically for formatting SD cards. This program has revived SD cards that I thought were out of commission. Hope it helps.
[HTC Aria General] pcrat:
ok. So i bought a new micrsd HC. This one is a PNY card. I used Gparted to partition it. worked like a charm. then insterted into the phone and did the a2sd reinstall ( Root privleiges of course ) all works well now.

thanks!
[HTC Aria General] jdwhite87:
For other people with this problem...

Rom manager - partition SD card - choose your partitions. It will reboot into recovery and try but fail to partition your card. Pull battery. Replace battery - hold volume down and power. Wait for it to try and find the libde. Img then press volume down and it will highlight recovery then press power. It will boot into recovery and finish partitioning your card.

I think that's how I got it to work. Sorry I didn't see this earlier and possibly save you some money.

Edit: I guess Ubuntu doesn't like sandisk. That's how I figured this way out.
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
+1

I couldn't get Ubuntu to do anything with my sandisk sd until I first used windows to format it to fat32. After that I was able to use Ubuntu to make partitions/format.

Sent from my cm7 Aria.
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
If you have problems formatting an SD card, you should use this tool to basically completely reset the card: http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/

This is much better than using Windows or another program to format the card because this works at a lower level and is designed specifically for SD cards. This program can usually revive SD cards that appear to be dead (when in reality the partition table is just messed up).

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sromer:
Yeah, there is. But you'll have to set them up one last time.

Settings > Personalize > Scenes > (press menu) New.

Then place all the icons/widgets whereever you want them, and next time you flash a rom just go to scenes and select the one you made

That's useless because when flashing you'll mostly have to do a FULL WIPE and since everything is deleted this wont work.

root your device. [APP]SuperOneClick v1.9.1 (Root, Unroot, Enable Non-Market App)

get the app "titanium backup" use it to find the app "tethering manager"

click it, freeze it or uninstall it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:

the 1.9.1 zip file NEEDS TO BE RENAMED TO " .rar " not " .zip " !!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamaker:
Thanks for the heads up on the rar vs. Zip file extension.... Rooted and looks/works great..... But I never did find the "tethering manager" apk file in the prescribed directory... /system/app/ . I see tons of other apk files but not that particular one. Is there another location to check or since I'm able to tether does that mean it (tethering manager) is NOT on my device?

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
it may be something like com.teth... or att.teth.. or somthing else it will have a different name.

I recommend using titanium backup method to freeze the app or backup&uninstall the app. it will be named "tethering manager" as titanium uses the app name not the file name.

most custom roms though have all this done for you. but do your homework first.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rougegoat:
So I recently switched to Sprint(ethical reasons, phone was a back burner issue) and grabbed an Evo. I can swap it during the first 30 days, which happens to give me about 4 days to consider swapping it for what will be the newly launched Nexus S 4g. I just want to know what your guys' opinion on this would be, since seeing specs written down doesn't mean as much as having the phone in hand for a while does.

From what I can see, it's like this.

Pros: Battery way better, unlocked from start, better proc(though same default clock speed), more internal memory and RAM, slightly smaller(more pocketable), updates from Google, better screen

Cons: cameras are worse(5mp & VGA v 8mp & 1.3mp), no external memory, hassle of exchanging, button arrangement(not sure why no one else does it the HTC way)

is there anything I'm overlooking while I consider the two? I haven't had a Nexus phone hands on, so I'm stuck looking at tech specs which could ultimately not matter.

(Update) Ended up swapping them. (/Update)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkusPO:
find a shop that has it on display and test it for yourself. i was unsure myself until i tested it personally. camera quality really is a non-issue imo.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
I switched from Evo to Nexus 2 weeks ago. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Are you really going to be swapping out multiple SD cards? I never did in the six months I had my Evo. So that was a non issue for me. I got used to the button placement in less than one week. And the camera I think is just as good as the Evo camera. The flash works way better, low light pics are better. MPs are meaningless, its all about the sensor and the Nexus has a good one.

Not to mention that this sexy Nexus makes my fugly old Evo feel like a monster truck next to my new Maserati :)

My two cents!

samesies

I'm in the exact same boat as you. I'm upgrading my phone (From a TP2) for work and have been looking at both the evo and the nexus s. I went to best buy and they have a demo unit available to play with. I went with the evo for earlier availibility but think i will ultimately be end up swapping with the nexus. I would reccomend you hit up best buy to see the nexus s 4g in person.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokexz:
The Evo is a more "normal" phone and in my opinion has more dev support compared to the Nexus S, if I were you I would wait for the Evo 3D, but if that is not an option for you, stick with the Evo. The cons in this case just outweigh the pros, updates do not matter because Gingerbread doesn't bring much to the table, the cameras are better on the Evo, Sense is less depressing than stock Android, Sense is more social, the Evo is okay in the pocket, they have the same amount of RAM, and the screen on the Evo is amazing compared to other HTC devices, if you plan on watching movies it is AMAZING on both, but the Evo has the stand so it works better. Really the Nexus S is a hassle if you want to use it as a smart phone, I use it as a phone, yes but I mess around with it more than I text, email, and call people on it.

Stick with the Evo, unless you can wait get the Evo 3D.

By the way if this is for work, get an Evo that thing has an amazing touch screen keyboard making it easier to edit documents etc. The Nexus S can sometimes feel like you are beta testing software, the past 3 updates for the Nexus S have always brought a plethora of issues for a lot of people.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rougegoat:
Sense actually works as a major con for the Evo. You have no idea how many times its pissed me off over something minor and annoying they added in. The gallery with it is crap, it assumes all mms are slideshows, I can't delete a Facebook number from the phone(traditionally prevents it from syncing that contact), I have to set up an 8 digit passwd on it just to set up a WiFi network, and so many other things that just don't happen in stock android. It's way more trouble than the tiny amount of eye candy it brings is worth.

Evo 3D does look nice, but since I just got the Evo two weeks ago, there's no possible way for me to get it. The Nexus is only an option cause it launches during my 30 day return/exchange window.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
I say Nexus S. As much as people "hate" Samsung, their camera hardware ****s on HTC. Only the newer HTC's can even compete. Speaker is awesome on the NS. And if you ever plan on playing at least some games then NS is your choice. Hummingbird proc in it is so much better than the first Gen snapdragon. And I believe battery life is better on the NS.

But of course it's all up to you on how you use your phone. I love sense as well and what it has to offer. So it's really up to you and what you use your phone for daily.
