[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stealthy_singh:
I have had a look on the forums and I cannot find how to do what I want, sorry if it is a noobish question.

I've a GSM HTC desire on orange (UK), running cyanogenMod 6.1.1. The recovery is clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 and the bootloader is HBOOT-0.93.0001 (alpharev)

I am trying to install RCMix S v2.0 Evolutionary Sense. It seems it requires s-off to do this easily and I also need to have my SD card (16Gig) partitioned with 1Gig of ext3. The current size of the ext3 partition is 0.75Gig (I know it's a silly size I chose originally). Once this is done I should be able to load the correct bootloader for the Rom and then flash the Rom itself.

I have just flashed my phone using alpharev 1.8 to load a bootloader that gives me s-off.

I wanted to resize my ext3 partition to 1Gig, I tried using minitool partition wizard (which I used the first time) but it won't let me resize the ext partition even after making room by shrinking the fat32 partition.

I am wondering if there is a way to do this without formatting the SD card. My worry is if my phone won't boot if I format the card to resize the partition because as I understand it some system data is on the SD card. Am I worrying about nothing?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Backup your sd card then use rom manager to create your ext partition size. No matter what when resizing you have to format.

Swyped...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 777ace:
GParted will also do it.

Might as well convert to Ext4 while you are at it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indbeegee:
I also couldnt find a way to resize the ext3 partition in windows.

So i made a full nandroid backup (incl SD-EXT) in recovery, deleted old ext3 partition and created a bigger new one. Then just restored the SD-EXT backup from recovery.

Worked well and no data lost :D

Edit: Is there an advantage from ext3 to ext4? I´m using Insertcoin A2SD V49
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stealthy_singh:
I think I will do a nandroid back up and just reformat the card how I did the first time.

777ace My desire is PVT-1 S-off. Also you've got the rom I am trying to install. So I think I'll flash the 0.93/CM7 Hboot that you have.

What are the advantages to using Ext4 rather than Ext3. I assume Ext4 is what you use? Did you need to flash a new radio or did you just do it by choice?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 777ace:
Ext4 is just the evolution of Ext3, and is supposedly more reliable and performs better. I upgraded to 4, because I read alot of people recommending this for many of the new ROMs coming out...a bit of research and the move made sense.

You should already have 0.93 HBoot, if you want to use RCMix (or most of the more recent ROMs). After that, pushing the CM7.img thru something like Android Flasher is easy as.

I flashed the radio back when I was on LeeDroid 2.3f and have kept it since. If you want to upgrade, you can also push the radio.img with Android Flasher.

Hi Devs,

Just posting this for anyone with ideas or workarounds...

Just wondering if anyone has come up with a way to speed up the startup time for the Phone Dialer and Contacts (especially) ? I have tried quite a few replacements and have always gone back to stock for various reasons:

- It just integrates well with the ROM

- It is functionally better

We do after all have a phone and it it seems silly that Samsung has not improved this annoying "bug" in the last iteration of its ROMs.

I compare this with HTC phones where you start either and it comes up very snappy!

Anyway, just a thought and hope someone it game to take up the idea ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] slaphead20:
Erm.....just flash a custom kernel/rom! ;)

Insanity cm 012/glitch
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cenonmin:
More info would be nice ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] slaphead20:
Well with my set up listed below my phone dialer opens in literally a blink of the eye, contacts open in about 0.75 seconds, with about 250 contacts

Insanity cm 012/glitch
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] slaphead20:
Just out of respect to the devs, this post should be in Q&A, not here, read the forum rules :)

Insanity cm 012/glitch
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cenonmin:
I assume this is what you are talking about (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843019)?

Any notable problems or things not working that we should know about ? ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] slaphead20:
Well first question....are you familiar with rom flashing?

Insanity cm 012/glitch
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cenonmin:
Yes, by the looks of it I should have to downgrade to Froyo Bootloaders and a Froyo based ROM using EZBase and then flash Insanity and then GAPPS.

Just not sure if I should try it since it does take a while to set up all of this and then some more if I decide to go back.

Which is why I was asking how good is this ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] slaphead20:
It is very good imho, but it does have the usual cm7 bugs(crap fm radio, mediocre battery life, poor 720 video recording, but is very customizable, very fast, and its not samsung! ;)

Insanity cm 012/glitch
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cenonmin:
What about the GPS? I have always had problems with the Froyo GPS. As soon as I went to any GB ROM all the problems (cannot get/maintain a lock, long time to get a lock) went away.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] EarlZ:
Phone and contacts launch with zero delay if they been launched once, the phone caches the information to the memory.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cenonmin:
I know that. But the OS will kill it after a while and when you try and use it again LAG AGAIN!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] chablo12:
I noted is SGS stock is, if you are storing contact in gmail, you get a 1-2 second delay in loading, generally insignificant. 2nd possibility is if your contacts with pictures, there may be a slight delay.

For the last the last 3 months I am on CM7 nightly, there is no delay even all my contacts in gmail and some with pictures.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad7m:
Ginger Edition has been running flawlessly for me for some time, but tonight the device froze when trying to connect via USB to my computer. I rebooted it, now I am stuck on the Vegan-Tab startup animation. It replays several times but never gets past it. Halp plz!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
Have you tried wiping cash from recovery?

Vegan GB has had issues with cash corruption when freezing and then being hard powered down.

Don't wipe data yet. First try cash and if that doesn't work try cash and davlik cash. Then if it doesn't work we can look at more serious options.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad7m:
Thanks Mantara.

I wiped the cache, then rebooted to the same issue. I went back into CWM and re-wiped, then went to wipe Davlik and got the following:

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8

-- Wiping cache...

Formatting CACHE:...

Cache wipe complete.

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk3p2

(No such file or directory)

Thoughts?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
The error is no big deal. Just says you dont have a second partition on the external sdcard.

Did it boot after wiping davlik?

Have you fixed permissions?

Try the cash and davlik wipe and permissions fix again and if it doesn't boot you will need to try a factory reset.

If that doesn't work you can try to install vegan GB again.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad7m:
It didn't boot after wiping davlik, or after I fixed permissions. Still the repeating Vegan GB animation.

I performed a factory reset, same problem.

I went to re-install Vegan GB but after I mount usb from CWM my computer now doesn't recognize the drive. I am using a mac, but I haven't had a problem connecting so far.

Yipes...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
You can setup a virtual box on your Mac and run lynux in it. That way you can run apx mode without drivers so you can use nvflash if you need to.

Have you ever repartitioned your internal sdcard?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crm_007:
You can also try to download ROM files on external MicroSDHC card or external USB stick and flash zip files from there.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad7m:
If I remember correctly, I repartitioned my internal SD before flashing Vegan GB.

I mounted USB and connected to a PC at work, it recognized the device (I used it previously to NVFlash it) but couldn't get access to the drive. Windows asked me to format the drive, which I did NOT do.

Should I NVFlash and start all over, or should I put Vegan GB on a MicroSD and re-flash?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Yes, you should nvflash and start over. Obviously, something is interrupting your normal boot process. Go to http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/starthere.htm and use code red.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
Have you tried cm7? Its way more stable than vegan Ginger now days. Plus with the tablet tweek options that have been added you can make it feel a lot like vegan ginger.

Really wish gojimi would do one more update to it. 7.0.0 is no where near as stable as 7.0.3. Or even some of the latest compiles.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad7m:
I NVFlashed (using code red, thanks goodintentions) and everything seems fine.

The only small annoyance is that now my iMac no longer recognizes my gTab via USB, where it did before. It shows up on the PC laptop I used to NVFlash, but neither my mac at home or at work. (I'm a graphic designer so my world is inundated with Apple.) Obviously I can just transfer files via MicroSD/card reader, etc. so I am not that worried about it. Just curious what could have changed.

Also, Mantara, I signed up for dropbox with your link. Thanks for your help!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
Thanks for the dropbox bonus :-) did you nvflash vegan Ginger? What kernel? Clemsyns Ginger kernel doesn't autodetect PC mount and you must mount internal storage from cwm. Pershoots kernel autodetects but Max overclock is lower.

Its all about what you want out of your device as far as what kernel you use. Read the change logs from the kernel devs and decide what's best for you.

Easy mate, easy. It can be very difficult to find things like that especially as search returns a lot of result from pointless threads.

To OP. S is white protection, security, and it can either on or off. When it's on, you can't flash anything, when it's off, it doesn't interfere. :)

Im using FroyoBread v13 and i want to delete the stock launcher, i mean Launcher Pro, i downloaded Go Launcher set it to default launcher but i can't delete Launcher Pro (OI File Manager).
[XPERIA X8 General] Graveir:
OI file manager is not a root app. Get yourself super manager or ES file manager (in case of the latter you'll need to set options for root directories first).
[XPERIA X8 General] LegoGabi:
I deleted with the Titanium Backup:D

Thanks.

BTW, to not make another thread: Should i use a task killer ?
[XPERIA X8 General] skylinestan:
I dont think u should use task killer...use fast reboot from market..its more better than task killer for terminate apps..

I am with HD2 at the moment but thinking of mighty Sensation but I like TomTom which I use with my HD2.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Squeaky369:
As far as I know TomTom isn't on Android yet... The version you are using on your HD2 is for Windows Mobile. You can use Google Navigation on the Sensation, and it doesn't a very good job, and it's free.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
There's also mapquest on the market for free. I personally have navigon as well but it is not free. Don't you have telenav preinstalled as well?
[HTC Sensation] adriank9:
Thanks guys! I was worried about going from Windows Mobile where most of apps I had were for free including TomTom and that there is no as good as TT sat nav on Android. Is there any sat nav where you pay once and you using it till you decided to buy upgrade new map? I mean no subscription fee.

Thanks

If it's just the type of app are there any specific ones that would do the job?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tictac0566:
It´s a general category, offline navigation applications.

You might try this one here: You can download Google maps contents to your phone while being at home or in the office, and on the road, use it offline.

There are a few commercial navigation apps for your HD2, such as Navigon, TomTom, CoPilot, or Garmin - I don´t know if all of them are still available "officially".
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TheBigSaxon:
When I bought my Tab this past weekend (BB 202 Wilmington DE) there was a Samsung rep there and he was telling me that Samsung is developing a hand writing app to use with a standard stylus. Part of the screen, think where your keyboard will be will be dead as a wrist rest and the screen was designed to be used with line drawing so no lag. So anyway he goes on and says that there is going to be an app like one note coming out as well.

I didn't think anything of it really till i was looking at Samsung's website for a case for this and I saw that one of the accessories was a really nice capacitive typed pens. I just thought it was an odd coincidence. Also I did ask him where he heard this he said he was at Google IO and they were talking about it there. Anybody heard any of this or was this dude full of ish?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vargas Prime:
Hey guys

I am having the same issue, stuck on the HTC screen after attempting to change the font through the bamf tool kit.

Compounding the problem, when I power on to HBoot, I still have the MR2 Radio ZIP file on the root of my SD card, and HBoot is automatically initiating the update from that ZIP every time I boot, without giving me the chance to do anything else.

If I update, the system has to reboot when complete, and then I'm back to being stuck at the HTC screen. If I DON'T update, HBoot makes me reboot anyway, and same problem happens.

Anyone know how I can get around HBoot trying to automatically flash the radio so I can actually get back into the system and re-flash Bamf?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 50tooslow:
I have always deleted the radio zip as soon as I am done flashing it and have never run into any issues. And I'm new to this stuff so I have been very careful.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vargas Prime:
Yeah, I know, I should have gotten rid of it, but the font change was one of the first things I did once I had booted up Bamf 2.1. When it prompted me to reboot, I didn't really think anything of it, and now I'm here.

Ugh... I can't get it to skip the update at all, I'm hoping there's a way to get around this.

e: Well, possibly never mind... A co-worker happened to have a microSD reader, and I went in and deleted the ZIP that way. Got booted into recovery, re-flashed Bamf 2.1, and am now booting normally for the first time.

Hopefully I'll get everything set up, and then NOT change the system font this time. Is this font thing just a bug with this version of Das Bamf?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vargas Prime:
If you're stuck in the radio-updating loop that I was stuck in, you need to go to the root of your SD card and delete the ZIP file named "PGIMG05"

This will allow you to get into HBoot, where you can then choose "Recovery" and re-flash your ROM.

So my preferred headphones are akg k702's, which my sgs2 just physically can't power. Volume is very low and they don't sound 'open' at all.

I've looked around for volume hacks etc and can't find anything that plays nice with my phone.

I understand my headphones are a bit on the extreme end of the spectrum but i've tried my Grado's with the phone and they, while not quite as bad still don't get up to a volume suitable for walking next to a busy road etc. I moved over from an iPhone4 which didn't have an issue powering the akgs.

At the moment i'm using a little portable amp which i love but isn't very practical for day to day use. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with hacks and if not, if they knew which was the best market app to buy?

Thanks in advance,
