[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuroneko007:
1. @ UberNoobster: Just to clarify for you, there is a lot of talk about "partitioning". There are 2 things on the Desire that you can partition.

a) The SD Card - this will give you a FAT partition (standard file storage, what you have now) plus an optional swap partition (I never use this, but I think it depends on the ROM you choose), plus the important part, an SD-EXT partition. Initially this will be in an "ext2" format. There is some debate about what format is most efficient, but I would recommend upgrading it to ext3. Some people will tell you that ext4 is faster, but as I said, it is a subject of debate, plus the fact that not all ROMs support ext4.

This SD-EXT partition is where you will be able to store more apps/data/dalvik-cache, depending on what ROM you go for and what variation of the A2SD script comes with it or you install. Probably best to make this partition around 1 GB, it is unlikely that you will install more than 1GB of apps.

b)The phone's internal memory. The standard memory configuration has it divided up into 250 Mb (System) - 40 Mb (Cache) - 147 Mb (Data). This is also known as the "Bravo Stock" table. Sense is bigger than stock Android, so it needs a big system partition, leaving you with only 147 Mb for apps (unless you install an A2SD script and SD-EXT as explained above). If, for example, you decide to do away with HTC Sense and go for a vanilla Android (it's way better than you think it is right now), for example, Cyanogenmod 7 (aka CM7), the ROM is much smaller, and so we can mess with the size allocated to System, leaving us with more Data - ie room for APPS! If you look on the AlphaRev site, the CM7 table gives you 130S-5C-302D -that's twice as much room for data.

Just note that even to flash one of those different tables, you first need to do the standard AlphaRev procedure.

What you need to do now is plug in that USB stick you have burned, and reboot your PC FROM THE USB STICK. It'll start up in a cut-down version of Linux, and the AlphaRev program will run automatically. Then just follow the instructions on screen.

2. @mjmonsada: NO, NO, NO! Insertcoin CM7 means that it is designed to use the CM7 table. Read my advice to UberNoobster above, then follow AlphaRev's S-OFF procedure, then flash the CM7 table in Fastboot, and only THEN can you flash the Insertcoin CM7 ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
It's a brand new SD card, so no data on it to back up!

Okies so am I creating a 1gb partition but is it a fat partition or an ext3/ext4 partition?

Or am I understanding kurenko wrong and what I'm doing I partitioning the SD card once and that will give me BOTH 1gb of ext3 which will act as storage for my phone apps, data, cache, etc and then the other 15gb will be FAT meaning where all my photos music videos is saved.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjmonsada:
Thanks for the help! I just did the s-off procedure. How woould i flash the cm7 table in fastboot? DO i dwnload the zip file and load it into my sd card?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuroneko007:
Yes - You partition it, so that you end up with 15Gb of FAT storage, and 1Gb of ext3.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuroneko007:
You need to download "bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img" from the Alpharev website. Then put it in the folder on your PC where you have Fastboot (if you haven't got Fastboot, you will need to download the Android SDK).

Open a command prompt.

Reboot your phone into the the bootloader (HBOOT), then from there select the Fastboot option.

Connect your phone via USB. The display should change to "Fastboot USB Plug"

At the command prompt, type:

fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-cm7.img

fastboot reboot bootloader

fastboot erase cache

Then reboot to recovery, do a full wipe, now you can flash your ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
Right - judgement day.

I guess going by the majority opinion I'll just leave off doing the s-off at the moment and settle with partitioning my sd card.

Is there any dangers or anything with doing that? Or what?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
When i'm burning GPartition to USB, am I formatting the USB as a Fat32, FAT or NTFS?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
This is bleedin murder..

Lookin to decide my rom bfore i partition my sd card but dont i need to have my phone s-offed to use gingerbread or 2.3 roms?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I've used InserCoin2.1+3.0 bevore S-OFF'ing my phone. Its a Gingerbread-based ROM, no problems at all.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You don't need s-off to use any rom. They all work with root only!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
Didn't someone say earlier in this thread I need to s-off to put gingerbread roms on?

Otherwise really what the hell is the use of s-off apart from changing the boot screen?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeon:
s-off also lets you change the partioning of the internal memory, remember...

you dont have to s-off for any rom
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
s-off also lets you flash unsigned (i.e. by htc) zips through fastboot. This means if your phone gets screwed up, you can wipe it and flash radio, recovery and rom all via your PC.

And, you can write to any part of the phones memory while booted, so you can for example delete unwanted applications without having to do it through adb shell on your PC.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
So I can definitely put on a 2.3 Rom from my current 2.1 stock without s-off?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrUsta:
Yes, you can.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
This is unbelievable...

Downloaded the GPartition program as per the NOOB PROOF GUIDE TO EVERYTHING ANDROID.

Burned it to USB. Restart computer and boot it from USB.

It gets to a black screen that ends with

BLAH BLAH BLAH DOES NOT COME WITH A WARRANTY,USE ARE YOUR OWN RISK!

************************************************************

Or something along those lines...then thats it. Nothing. Stays there forever. Need to manually turn the computer off.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
Anyone any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EasySR:
With ROM manager you can reformat SD card for EXT partition and FAT partition.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
Ok downloaded the ROM Manager free version from the app market. Apparentley had to install ClockworkMod RECOVERY bt thought that was already installed from when I rooted with Unrevoked, anyways..

I take it I'm partitioning a 512mb EXT but whats the swap size?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberNoobster:
Anyone know the problem with my Gparted usb stick or what to do with Rom manager? Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nonofficialcover:
Try downloading the image (again) and burn the image.

If that doenst work, boot it on a different computer.

Works fine with me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Revhead:
I found the Linux USB a challenge, but once I got it sorted it was eaaaaasy as to use.

Like everything I have done with ROMs and rooting etc though, the fool proof step by step guides are never 100% right.

Something is always different or doesn't quite work how they say it will.

For example the menus with I booted my USB were different, so I had to look around to find GParted.

However if you have half a brain you can soon find. I know, I only have half a brain! :p

I was unsure about the ext2/3 so I just did both. If one doesn't get used, well it's only 1gb gone from my 16, and I can sort it later when I know which is used.

UberNoobster, once you do it, you will think "**** that was easy!" because once you figure it out it is!

2 weeks ago I had no idea on rooting. Now I can swap ROMs in 10 minutes!

All that S-OFF and changing the internal partitions stuff etc is not needed to improve your memory. Do the sdcard mods and just use that. It will give you HEAPS.

All the other stuff is more like fine tuning the last few % for the uber fussy!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adobric:
Can someone explain to me how I got S-Off without alpharev? I left the cell for repair and they turned security off. I dont see alpharev screenlog, is there another way to turn S off?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
I'm using the RCMix S ROM with A2SD+ and I must say I don't think I'll need to turn security off, personally. I just want a Data2EXT script that works properly.

Anyone know where to buy the oem extended battery online? I've checked amazon, buy.com, verizon website and several other places...no luck :(
[Thunderbolt Accessories] PineTre3:
call customer service that's what i went through to get mine and it comes in like 1-2 days
[Thunderbolt Accessories] blomgren:
I tried customer service and they said they were sold out as well. I called around to the local Verizon stores and on the second store they had one even though the first store checked and said no one did. That would be your best bet on finding one.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] AstarteSV:
Really happy I jumped on the battery *****ing bandwagon and got mine for free:D
[Thunderbolt Accessories] itsDollar:
Android central and htcpedia had them yesterday
[Thunderbolt Accessories] yumms:
Androidcentral says they'll have it 'around 5/27', htcpedia is over charging by $10..not going for that.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] scshadow:
mobilecityonline is backordered till the 8th but just another website to check out if the other ones are back ordered too. i got mine few days ago and paid for regular shipping and ended up getting it in 3 days haha pretty fast shipping
[Thunderbolt Accessories] severelevere:
Verizon had them available online last night...it's just a matter of getting lucky and checking at the right time.

I got lucky and found one on eBay for $40.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Daswolven:
I ordered one from tech support yesterday, the local store couldn't find one.

I was watching the VZW extended battery page for the better part of 3 weeks every morning noon and night. They had them in last monday and I jumped on it and bought one. Free 2 day shipping and got it with my employer discount. It's nice.

Had it on wireless tether (last day), from roughly 1pm to 9pm. phone just died a few minutes ago. now im charging it before work tomorrow. Definitely makes a difference.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] drew911d:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
Hi there XDA,

So here in the UK for Unlocked users like myself our Gingerbread update should be arriving tomorrow, however I have no idea what Gingerbread is supposed to be bringing me at all? I have heard that it features HTC's 'New' redesigned multi-touch IME, however I don't understand what that means?

I was just wondering could somebody tell me what improvements/updates Gingerbread will bring to my device... Thanks!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BroodjeBami:
The update won't bring much, because Gingerbread is more of a design update for Android, but we DHD owners got sense so you it's not that big of a update. The thing you WILL notice of the update are speed/stability of the phone and sense 2.1.

Sense 2.1 brings some new things like a new app viewing/scrolling thing, a quick settings tab in the notifications and some small things like being able to switch places widget/apps on the home screens just by placing them on the same place.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
There are unconfirmed reports that the Gingerbread update will bring you

You'd need to speak to HTC if you get these.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
Thanks for the replies, sounds like a pretty pointless update then, but nevertheless updates are ALWAYS welcome on my device!

I have a crap SD card and it takes like 10 mins to nandroid backup and my friend takes way shorter and she also backs up her apps way faster. What's the highest class that the phone can actually handle..? I am looking to buy a nice card..

16 gb class 10 wintec...30 bucks...and nandroiding isn't going to be slower or faster with that one or yours...there are so many factors but not the card
[EVO 4G Accessories] Crossrocker:
I see very bad reviews about that.. and what are the factors? I'm pretty sure writing speed is a biggie

[EVO 4G Accessories] boomer30:
The reason why your friends phone is alot faster when doing a NANdroid is most likely that she has less apps installed on her phone then yours.
[EVO 4G Accessories] housry23:
There are certain things a faster card will help on, like loading your picture gallery, streaming video especially HD video, transferring files from computer to sd or vice verse. I have a Topram 16GB class 10 and a Adata 8GB class 6 and honestly I don't see much difference in speed. I would say that class 6 is plenty sufficient. If you are worried about getting a dud, just spend a few extra $ for a brand you can trust like Kingston or I have had good luck with Adata cards.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Childofthehorn:
Hmm. If you look at the /system and phone hardware it really won't get much if any benefit of a class 8 or class 10. the phone can handle slightly fatser than Class 6, but only just.

I would just get a class 6 16GB. I picked up mine for $20 and its a Sandisk. Just look around at specials that trusted vendors are having.
[EVO 4G Accessories] iitreatedii:
exactly if your that worried by a more "trusted" brand, i mean i have no problems, but each ones different, so do what you please lol
[EVO 4G Accessories] cityneversleepz:
what's the proper formatting etc procedure?

I searched and found this thread because I too need some help with the proper formatting procedure. Got a lexar 32gig class 10 yesterday and found out that this isn't as easy as I first thought it would be. Formatted, partitioned, copied contents of original sd card, and system restored cyanogenmod 7.0.3.1. Restored system apps except the market. All other apps don't seem to be recognized. Thought that if I could at least get the market, then I could do a titanium restore, but no luck.

I just threw my wintec and and I was good to go...copied over stuff into the blank. Card
[EVO 4G Accessories] Crossrocker:
I ordered transcend 16gb class 6. She has about the same amount of apps, if not more. I have a crap brand SD card. My argument is still that writing speeds matter when nandroiding..

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
[EVO 4G Accessories] iitreatedii:
They can't matter because nandroid doesnt gget factored in with class speed...same way as sbc doesn't work when the phone isn't on...
[EVO 4G Accessories] cmdaily:
No but write speed is factored in and you are writing your nandroid to your card... so how would the write speed not be a factor?
[EVO 4G Accessories] iitreatedii:
If you saw the values we edit to change the systems ability to increase read and write speed in a rom you would understand. Nandroid is a nandroid. Im not stopping you from buying a veteran sd card, just letting you know your nandroids will be the same
[EVO 4G Accessories] jackgibbs:
best buy has a 16gb class 10 on sale for 35 bucks right now...

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] detroit0:
Hi, I used autonooter to root my nook and have it at 1.1 currently. I want to update that to 1.2 rooted. What is the easiest way to do this? Is there something I should wait for, like a new version of autonooter that will make this easier? I can wait as long as needed. Sorry if this has been answered, I just didn't see this particular topic addressed.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkhuh:
You can do it using manual nooter and would have to wipe your nook. Alternatively you can wait for autonooter (might still have to wipe butthe process would be easier)

I made a backup of my system in xRecovery earlier.

If I want to restore that backup, do I need to wipe anything?? Like cache?

Or do I only need to restore and just reboot?
[General Questions and Answers] SERGI.3210:
the better thing that you can do its full wipe (factory reset, wipe data cache & dalvik)

when you flashed the backup do battery wipe...

full wipe its better because the apk´s need to zipalign again, do a new busybox, etcc...

[Q] xRecovery:different restore modes

Hello,

I've been using xRecovery for a while on my Xperia X8. I usually make a weekly backup and if the phone crashes then I restore completely the latest backup. This implies in restoring apps and data to the previous state as well.

Today I was taking a closer look at the "partial" recovery options of xRecovery, and saw that I can restore only the system.

Initially, I thought I had found the solution, as I would be able to restore only the system, and maintain the state of my apps and data.

However, your response above has confused me a bit.

So, if my Android's system crashes, I can't simply restore only the system, and keep the current app and data? What would then be the best way to restore the system and have the most recent data and apps?

Thank you,

M!©k3t$
