Is a partitioned SD a giveaway that I've rooted?? I flashed, what seems to be, stock 2.2.1 Froyo, though my SD is still partitioned and there is some system folder on it I think. Is there another way to detect if my device has been rooted and flashed??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
You could have partitioned the card through a card reader using a computer as well, so it doesn't point to being rooted. Although having an sd partition on stock rom when it's of no use is kind of suspicious.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] deadcode00:
there are many ways to knw that u've rooted beside sd card.. u dnt need to give ur sd card to the service center ppl.. :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] antiother:
Well, 2.2.1 has been flashed, so it looks the same as it did when I received it, I'm not root anymore so the superuser tab has been removed and I don't have any root apps on. Pretty much stock like day 1 except 2.2.1 instead of 2.2.0. What other means could there be??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] deadcode00:
u must be using custom recovery ??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] antiother:
Yes, and I partitioned 2gb SD to 1.5GB/500MB. I formatted the SD to ext4.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Then remove the recovery. Go to the flashable recoveries zip files thread in the development section by ciaox. I can't post links right now because I'm on the phone. I think ciaox has the link in his signature. Anyway, go to this thread and download 'original_recovery_thunderg.zip ' ( or something to that effect). Boot into recovery and flash this zip, and your recovery will be removed.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
OMG. People, flashing recovery and/or rooting your device will not partition your SD card, at all. So, I really fail to see why he should flash stock recovery or whatever.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] deadcode00:
Eh! He did partition his sd card via custom recovery... wht part u didnt get?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
He apparently does not know what he did at all. Anyway, flashing stock recovery or unrooting will certainly not remove any partitions from SD card by magic so those advices are just completely wrong, plus it is not really what was asked in the first place.

You do not detect a rooted phone by looking whether the SD card is partitioned or not.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Yes, partitions have nothing to do with rooting, but he has also asked:

Since he has custom recovery so I advised him to flash original recovery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
Does not go anywhere.

@OP: Can you kindly explain what is your problem? Because it is damn hard to understand what are you trying to do.

If you do not want the SD card partitions any more, then simply delete them (in PC or whatever). Frankly, it is not even clear whether you have more than one partition on your card from your fuzzy description.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] antiother:
Let me re-phrase my Q.. I do know what I was doing. I flashed Void, my Nandroid backups didn't work when I wanted to restore cuz I didn't like Void, I lost network cuz my phone was stuck in flight mode, I flashed a 2.2.1 stock .DZ from my PC. Since my phone was stuck in flight mode (useless), I took the phone to myservice provider and they ordered me a new one.

What are the chances of them detecting that I had rooted and flashed Void before??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
Hmmm, wondering why did not you ask this normal question in the first place. Chances are none after you flashed a stock ROM via KDZ, wipes everything on the phone.

(Do not understand why did you return the phone without wiping/removing the SD card, honestly... kinda sensitive data there regardless whether it is rooted or not.)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
Does flashing a rom vain kdz remove custom recovery also?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] deadcode00:
yeah i wanna knw tht as well....
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
The sensation setion on Fpse (PS1 emulator) has be opened today

http://www.fpsece.net/forum2/viewforum.php?f=44

Every feedback of Fpse running on the HTC Sensation is welcome !

So far, I'm not really happy with the results, it seems that an Xplay defeats my Sensation, so I'm sure there's a lot of space for optimization here!

I definitly hope Schtruck will have a look at it

I guess Fpse uses only one core so far, that's the only explaination I can find.

Every info, feedback, opinion, experience might be useful

Thanks !
[HTC Sensation] clouds5:
99% android apps dont take advantage out of the additional core. And it will take some time until they do because they have to be programed differently. So i guess for an emulator like FPSE your performance should be about the same as on a DesireHD with singlecore 1.2ghz.

But then the Xperia Play has the about the same hardware as the DHD so i dont know :/

What games do you have fps issues with? I run almost everything at full speed that i tried (TombRaider 3, Ridge Racer, FF7, Resident Evil) on my DesireHD at 1.1ghz.
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
I know Schtruck has better results for Tekken 3, with screen filtering ON, with his Xplay

(tekken 3 has always been my reference for test, since 2009, when I was beta testing with my Omnia 1 i900 )

I remember when we started to have multitouch on the HD2, firts with Morphgear, then for FpseCE, when originally the HD2 only supported pinch to zoom, and the OS was not supposed to handle multitouch.......

So now we have a dual core device, the OS doesn't support dual core except for a few HTC homebrews? I hope devs will manage to fix all this, it's kind of the same situation, having to bypass a limitation due to the OS using what HTC did for some apps
[HTC Sensation] clouds5:
It will come eventually. But implementing working dualcore support isnt an easy thing to do from what i've heard^^ Its not the same thing as using multitouch.

Even on PC where multicore is established for years, support is still very basic. But im not a programmer so maybe someone else could explain it in details :) or use the mighty google.
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
I know how to use google, don't worry, but I've also seen many miracles since I've been in smartphones world, like for example playing tekken 2 full speed on a 624mhz CPU and no GPU or graphic chip, and I now cross my fingers.
[Android Themes] 369ranger:
Ok i have a samsung captivate thats rooted running froyo, i downloaded Dark_Fire_5.2.zip to my sd card, i go into my rom manager and click install from sd card and then click on the dark _Fire and it ask me to the reboot and install rom screen,i click ok then im in rebbot mode and click reboot,it reboots and nothing changes>?? so can anybody walk me through this?i have no idea what im doing wrong,and if you can help me please out in plain english because im 50/50 with this kind of thing,you might say newbee learning.Thanks !!!
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Just reboot into Recovery and flash the file manually, without ROM Manager. If it doesn't work ask for help in it's forum thread.
[EVO 4G General] ruffneckZeVo:
I just don't understand why the lesser model EVO got a better sense version guess that's how they are making us want the 3d even more
[EVO 4G General] NYCguy2020:
More RAM??!
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Lesser model??

The Evo shift has a better core dude.
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
Do you even read around the forums?

"i know the answer but ill make a new thread because its so easy".
[EVO 4G General] datajosh:
The only thing "lesser" about the Shift is the screen size. Aside from the name and Sense, they're two completely different phones and the Shift is the more powerful one.
[EVO 4G General] EGOvoruhk:
The real question is, what does Sense 2.1 add that the Evo can't handle?
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
A longer lifespan? :D
[EVO 4G General] jm5503:
This........
[EVO 4G General] shadowstalker69:
Not that there aren't other posts about this but...

Let's not forget the almighty Dollar!

If they give it to the EVO one less reason to buy a new 3D!
[EVO 4G General] ruffneckZeVo:
Guess I need to check out the shift I was offered the choice of a shift or ns4g to replace my EVO due to being returned 4 times for warranty they both just seemed built cheap light n plastic feeling ill look at it a little more doesn't seem to be much development for shift either
[EVO 4G General] rockypr:
HTC EVO 4G: Sense 1

HTC EVO Shift: Sense 2.1

HTC Evo 3D: Sense 3

That sounds like MARKETING?
[EVO 4G General] jxr94:
Shift > Evo 4g
[EVO 4G General] GaryJ51:
What was the original question? This doesn't make too much sense.
[EVO 4G General] ca1ne:
Um, yah, anyways. I'm just glad we have devs who take the time to port the updated versions if sense to those who want to stay on the cutting edge...
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Now now I didn't excuse any one in this thread of anything ;)
[EVO 4G General] ronniebaby85:
This is actually my 1st time posting sumthin on the forums but i've been rooted for the last 3 months jus 2 lazy 2 comment lol, but all my questions i have usually get answered bouncing aroung from rom to rom and using search and i kinda mostly do that to get around the "passionate" debates that pop up time to time lol anywho everybody have a good nite :D
[EVO 4G General] rolfd:
Thread cleaned and infractions issued where needed.

I'm surprised by some of the members here posting and quoting such utter rubbish. Some of you have over 1000 posts and really should know better, and try to set an example. Does anyone here really find it productive to troll, and reply to trolls?

Sort it out, and grow up please.
[EVO 4G General] jbroyles_23:
My wife has the shift, she won't let me root it for her but hers has sense 1.0. I've checked everywhere and have not found an update for the shift anywhere, did they get a ported rom that brought sense 2.1 with it or am I missing something somewhere.
[EVO 4G General] durandetto:
My wife has the shift and I don't see what's so amzing about it compared to the EVO. Granted I'm rooted and she's not, but I played with it when she first got it and now only touch it when she screws something up. All I have to say is Mikg, its absolutely amazing.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
I think it was leaked awhile back so it should be out soon.
[EVO 4G General] jbroyles_23:
Oh ok, I don't keep up with the shift forum since my wife won't let me root hers. Thanks
[EVO 4G General] durandetto:
I might have to play with the shift again once it gets the update to compare the speeds between the real thing and miks version. I can't wait for an oc kernel for GB.
[EVO 4G General] lui22:
evo should get sense 2.1 the devs here have proved that the EVO can handle anything you throw at it. Though ive had my Evo replaced 5 times, due to HTC or sprint giving cheap untested replacement phones to their customers, i love my EVO's.
[EVO 4G General] tropicalbrit:
The Evo can handle Sense 2.1, as we have all seen through custom ROMs. Marketing... most likely, you can always email HTC and see what they say.

They might say because the Evo has an Adreno 200 while the Shift has Adreno 205. It is a better GPU, but it doesn't make that much sense why the Evo doesn't get 2.1 if it can handle it.
[EVO 4G General] dpilcher:
Ya...waiting on number 3 myself. Screen issue on the first...borked 3G on the second (just last month)...and the replacement I got for that on Friday had the same screen issue as the first (bright sun spot and all four touch buttons acting as spotlights on the screen). Tech tried to say it was just a smudge..LOL but he ordered the replacement to the replacement while I was standing there setting up the replacement...ok, now I'm confused.

Anyway...agree EVO++
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
I don't get what's so hard to understand about the situation. Its all about money and marketing. If you want 2.1 sprint says you should buy a shift, if you want 3.0 sprint says buy the 3D. Their main goal is to empty your pocket and tag another year or 2 on your contract; or force you to want it badly enough to pay full retail for it. Its not rocket science get over it or just flash custom roms. Its like explaining where babies come from to 3 year olds..........sheesh
[EVO 4G General] ruffneckZeVo:
Sorry if my thread has caused any issues that was not my goal was just something I thought someone could explain why the shift can handle 2.1 and 4g can't
[EVO 4G General] LexLuger82:
They cheapskates
[EVO 4G General] Action B:
If it is Marketing its rather silly.

The people who were going to buy it at launch are likely not to have their mind changed by the fact that the htc evo 4g gets the updated sense.

The people, who like me, update when they have a provider discount for their upgrade are not going to skip on the chance to upgrade their phone when the time comes. The real question is WHEN I upgrade WHICH PHONE DO I CHOOSE? It seems that providing me with a better experience with my current phone makes me more likely to buy its successor.
[EVO 4G General] lui22:
im seriously thinking about switching to the ns4g

However, not sure if it's 100% fit for SGT 10.1 I/O. Sigh.

LOL, so I just looked closer.

It looks like a Galaxy Tab 7" with the screen photo-chopped to Honeycomb.

Has anyone found this case yet?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] moonzbabysh:
I picked up one of these from this seller on eBay. First off it took a little over 2 weeks to get here which is OK since it coming from china, the case fits comfortably and snug on the tab. My biggest gripe is that there are no holes over the power button or volume rocker which caused it to press the buttons and put me in download mode the first time I fit it onto the tab. And there are holes cut for the speakers but there place too high right above the actual speakers. There are extra holes one on the left side of the tab if held in landscape and the other just to the right of the headphone jack.

I didn't want to wait for a month shipping it back and then waiting for them to send me the right one. I ended up just cutting the proper holes I needed with a box cutter and everything works as it should. Besides the holes issue I definitely recommend this case. When I get home later after school ill post pics to show you guys what I mean.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaiyoti:
Yesterday, I installed FFC, and wanted a fresh install so I formatted sd and tried to flash JI6 with it, but flashing failed and whenever I boot, I get the phone icon with dotted line to a computer icon which has an orange exclamation icon in the middle.

The button-based boot into download mode failed. So I made a jig using a microusb plus 120k, 180k, and 1k resistor. But the method still only boots into the same orange exclamation icon from phone to computer icon. It sounds like it's completely bricked. Is there a snowball chance that samsung would still fix this?

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Paul
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali1276:
Okay, there are two methods to fix this: first method is more reliable.

First download Samsung Kies, this gives you correct drivers and makes sure you never have a flash that gets interrupted because of bad drivers. Here is the link to samsung kies:http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201101/20110124222256530/Kies_Mini_For_Vibrant_11011_4.exe

1. Now, take out your battery

2. Put the USB cable that is connected to the computer in.

3. Hold down the two volume buttons while keeping the USB cable in

4. Put the battery in while USB cable is in and volume buttons are still held

5. You should find yourself in download mode.

6. Now, put the pit file I have at the end into PIT and the Tar file I have at the end into PDA, happy flashing.

Second method (unreliable but easier)

1. Install Samsung Kies.

2.Having Odin open, plug in your phone into the cpu using USB cable.

3. Hope that Odin recognizes the device, if it does be happy and flash.

4. Now, put the pit file I have at the end into PIT and the Tar file I have at the end into PDA, happy flashing.

FLASH JFD INSTEAD OF JI6 TO GO TO STOCK, JI6 HAS ALWAYS GIVEN ME PROBLEMS, JUST USE JFD. HERE IS THE LINK: http://sourceforge.net/projects/stockodinjfd/files/T959UVJFD.tar/download HERE IS THE PIT FILE: http://sourceforge.net/projects/stockodinjfd/files/s1_odin_20100512.pit/download

[XPERIA X8 General] visco89:
hi all, where is download app2sd+ for FB V9 ?

sory my english
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris95X8:
You don't need to install it. As FB is a 2.2 ROM it already has the ability to transfer apps in the SD.
[XPERIA X8 General] jaygod611:
Hi, I just would like to ask a question pertaining to V2.2. I installed this ROM, and I am able to install NFS Shift so I suppose it saves on the ext2 on the SD. However, whenever I check the internal memory, it always seems to decrease gradually.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks!
