Yes it gives both actual space for installation. Running apps will always be loaded into ram and swap.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Vk_:
So RAM is its own thing and separate from (ROM?) the increasable space? But what is the actual gain IN increasing it? More apps in the phone? But I've read that the phone gets all cluttered and buggy, if its full of apps. Is this the gain in re-partitioning?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
Where have you read that?

The thing is huawei included a external storage(build in SD card) which had the size of 2GB, and internal storage at 600MB, with geno's partition flash you just change the partitions, the 600MB becomes external storage, and the 2GB(1.2GB data) becomes internal storage. So we gain rather than lose storage. So I have used it for now quite and not experienced any problem.

Please link me up on where you found out this cluttered and buggy thing with this ok?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Vk_:
I think that I accidentally misled you on this. It was some SGS(maybe) thread that I read sometime ago. The talk was about phone being laggy and probable cause that it was full of apps. So I kinda gathered that if any android phone is stuffed full of applications, it gets slow. But I guess I am wrong?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
Aha, well if the phone gets sluggish is because swap and ram is being used and less free for other processes. You could make it similar to any OS. I have tried once with this phone filled it up had 6mb left wasn't sluggish at.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Vk_:
So if I have still 389mb phone memory left free, re-partitioning isn't really acute procedure for me?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
The partition thing will work independently, only thing it does is formatting the external storage(2GB) and then moves all your data on to the 2GB internal SD and that's it. You can do this if you feel like you need lots of space for apps ok?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Vk_:
Yes, I understand. And since I still have lots of free space left, I think I save this for later. Thanks for explaining this to me. Oh jeah, what custom ROM would you recommend? Preferably one that has all its bugs smoothed out?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
This ROM seems to be stable and very fast.

Uhm, I am really uncertain about this fact. It seems like phones from different regions have different problems with ROMs.

I would say like this, take a tour :), visit different roms out and try out them for yourself and see which one suits your needs and such things.

What I use

I am using this because I seem to have problems with other roms out nowdays. Might be only me :(

Thanks, but no thanks :)

I am happy with forums and iirc.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Vk_:
The n00b question parade continues. :)

I applied new boot.img and new recovery.img and updated to B160 ROM (for now). So far so good. But its the Superuser that I can't figure out. I can't seem to make it do anything..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
Well, the superuser application is there for applications who require root access to make changes and such thing, so if you were to use SetCPU, noAds or Titanium Backup, they will require access from superuser(root). So don't worry, it works but you need something that demands root access to see anything happen !
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Vk_:
And yet more questions. Is there a way to upgrade the touch screen? I mean to up the number of simultaneous touches from two to more?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
No my friend it's not possible. You can't by software force the digitizer to recognize more points than it is capable of.

I wouldn't say you need more, but it's okay with 2 points; As the aim for most is to get the pinch to zoom thing work. Nowadays we are seeing more people wishing to have more finger features.

If you are displeased with the amount the digitizer can hold, I recommend you buy a new phone if it's important for you.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Vk_:
Aw well.. I guess theres a limit which even custom modding can't fix. Oh, by the way, changed to flb custom ROM, since found b160 kinda laggy. See in few days if this is better.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
Hope you enjoy it !
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] youresocool:
Hello. I followed this steps and...

The boot modification worked, but affected my camera, the image stayed upside down! I fixed it with the original boot.img, the root still works. There is no problem staying with the original boot.img?

Second: i made the recovery too. It worked well, with one problem. I cannot acess the recovery mode with the keys (vol+pwr), it shows the normal pink screen. Only with the application rom manager, option reboot into recovery. Normal?

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Ok, I've heard people complaining about something similar with the camera...Didn't happen to me, but I've heard about it. The only thing that boot.img does is rooting the phone, in case you've got a stock ROM that you need root on. But other than that, it should be fine with a pre-rooted ROM.

The second thing, I'm not sure what you mean by this "Only with the application rom manager, option reboot into recovery."

There are 2 separate modes that can be accessed, without the USB cable connected.

By pressing VOL+ and Power you get into Recovery MOD and you get the option to do the backup/restore.

By pressing VOL+,VOL- and POWER, you can access the so called "shadow" memory - the pink screen. You need to connect the USB cable, after you've got the pink screen.

If you're trying to get into Recovery Mod, just turn the phone off, push VOL+ and Power and that should get you in Recovery Menu.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
Yeah the camera problem is funny because it old libs on a really new rom. Glad that the old boot.img fixed that problem. And yes the root got installed thanks to the custom boot.img you had before, so changing boot.img will not affect superuser.

Now for the recovery mode, I am guessing you have by accident pressed - vol + vol and power. You should only hold + vol and power.

If it doesn't work try check really that the recovery has been changed.

Hope this works !
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] youresocool:
Thanks both.

Ok good to know that the root is ok, I will install a custom rom later.

About the recovery mode, I was doing it wrong, like you said.

Thanks!

if you have another sprint phone.....

Call sprint, swap esn to other phone.

Sell yours on craigslist.

Buy another one on craigslist that's rooted (call and swap esn to phone to make sure it works)

Go home, install whatever you want.

I'm switching from T-Mobile and was originally going to go with Verizon for the iphone but I found this deal for the EVO 3D with Sprint and it sounds more up my alley price wise. I live in downtown Boston so I think both carriers have decent service there. Do you guys think I should go with this Sprint deal? What do you think of the EVO 3D vs iphone?

Here's the deal I got in my email from Studentrate....

We are pleased to offer great discounts on HTC EVO 3D to qualified StudentRate.com members.

For New Customers:

$20.00 off regular price ($199.00 regular price with new contract)

15%-23% Discounts off of Monthly Recurring Service Fees available to qualified members

[HTC EVO 3D] qualitymove13:
I actually got my 3D this way. They send you through Amazon Wireless and then after confirming your order number, billing address and account number with Studentrate they take care of the rest. I actually spoke to them today and confirmed all the info so they said I should see my discount in 1-2 billing cycles. We will see...
[HTC EVO 3D] vboyz103:
I say yes cuz the $20 will cover part of your tax (if any) and then the discounts on monthly bills, trust me it helps. I have corporate discount of 25% monthly bill and with 2 lines of evo, it saves quite a bit.
[HTC EVO 3D] RamonsFisk:
Well if you're looking to save money a 15%-23% discount off a monthly bill would definitely help you out. Plus I think Sprint already has a pretty low cost plans compared to Verizon. I think you should go for it, maybe I will too haha.

I think it's a discount site for college students but they have a bunch of like wireless stuff
[HTC EVO 3D] jolined:
Will this discount apply to any Sprint plan?
[HTC EVO 3D] N.Miller:
I think it applys on the Everything Data plans. I saw this posted on their forum
[HTC EVO 3D] RamonsFisk:
I just ordered the EVO 3D through your deal OP and it was only $144.99 on Amazon Wireless. I'm not sure how long it'll be at that price but if you're still on the fence I'd try to get it now while it's on sale.
[HTC EVO 3D] plmiller0905:
Is there any way to just apply for the discount itself? I just bought a Evo 3D but through Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] Uncle Lizard:
I went from tmo to sprint and love it! They give you $125 per smart phone line to switch and I got my evo 3d for $149 and an evo 4g for $24.99 with free shipping free activation free everything accept tax! Go for it!

[HTC EVO 3D] RamonsFisk:
I don't think so. You have to be buying a new phone, upgrading, or adding a line.
[HTC EVO 3D] MissyThinks:
EVO 3D looks like an awesome phone, but right now I'm with Verizon. My contract is ending soon so I could switch over. You get a $125 if you come over from another carrier? 15-23% off my bill would be a major help too. I wish there was some way to test out the EVO 3D for like a week to see if I even like it.
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
got sero p too bad discounts cant be applied :mad:
[HTC EVO 3D] RamonsFisk:
Isn't sero already discounted?
[HTC EVO 3D] Lizzy345:
I think I'm going to go with the EVO 3D, but now do I want to use that deal I posted to get it through Amazon, paying only $144.99 and getting a 23% discount off my monthly bill, or I guess I can use this Sprint Deal, the phone would be $199.99 but I could get the $125 port credit and still get the 23% discount. I'm torn because do I want to pay less now, or get a refund later? I guess the port credit expires tomorrow too.
[HTC EVO 3D] MissyThinks:
oh man, looks like I missed the port credit. Guess my best bet now would be to go through the amazon deal. Do you know if there is an expiration date?
[HTC EVO 3D] Thatonedude:
I didn't buy mine through that site but I did chat with Sprint online and they gave me a 23% student discount just by giving them my school name and student ID. I should be seeing that reflected on my next bill.
[HTC EVO 3D] MissyThinks:
That's sweet. What school do you go to?
[HTC EVO 3D] tonewonders:
Yeah I got the port credit and my 20 % off Bill thru my work company discount. But I won't see the credit and discount till my second bill so i have three lines with all get credit and plus my discount on Bill. I would have at least three months of free service free sweet deal..
[HTC EVO 3D] Thatonedude:
University of California, Davis
[HTC EVO 3D] MissyThinks:
Did they ask you for a school id number or anything?
[HTC EVO 3D] Thatonedude:
Yeah they did. Just the school name and ID number.
[HTC EVO 3D] RamonsFisk:
I'm not a student and I got the deal mentioned in this thread. Just an FYI if you are also not a student or don't go to UC Davis.
[HTC EVO 3D] N.Miller:
I saw that Sprint has extended the porting credit promo till Oct. I think you're better off using that Sprint deal, especially if you're opening a new account with Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] MissyThinks:
Those who have received this discount, how long does it take to show on your bill?
[HTC EVO 3D] mattrb:
I just got a EVO 3d without any damage of any sort on the screen or body for $310 on ebay.

That is a good discount.

Sold my EVO 4g for $230.
[HTC EVO 3D] N.Miller:
$310...that's a discount??
[HTC EVO 3D] MntClmr:
If you haven't already I'd say go with the sprint deal. Especially since you're going to be a new Sprint customer, I just feel like ordering online on their site would make more sense. Plus someone else mention the port credit is good till October so you can still get that on top of the 23% discount you mention. Do you know how much about would your monthly bill be with the discount price??
[HTC EVO 3D] Lizzy345:
Well I think I'd get the Everything Data plan which is $69.99 so 23% off that would be around $54, then taxes. Plus the $10/month for data, idk if the discount comes off that too. If not, it looks like it'd be around $64/ month plus tax, which is not bad at all.
[HTC EVO 3D] youngchaz60:
T mobile messed up with me when they cut the true unlimited data. I switched to sprint last week and am I'm love.

Sprint also give discounts to opl at certain jobs. 10 % in most cases.
[HTC EVO 3D] MntClmr:
$64 a month is an awesome price. Do you know if the discount could work on other plans?
[HTC EVO 3D] RamonsFisk:
I was told I should see the discount reflected on my Sprint account in 1-2 billing cycles.
[HTC EVO 3D] MntClmr:
What kind of plan do you have?
[HTC EVO 3D] RamonsFisk:
I have the Everything Data 450 minute plan.

have you seen the discount on your bill yet? can you see it online?
[HTC EVO 3D] iazv8:
I got 25% off through my job. I I got my phone through the corporate store jere in KC, although I was told I wouldn't get the discount right away I actually did. Just a heads up there is a $5 if you don't sign up for autopsy other than its all good

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ianyt77:
Hi all, Got a Desire HD and a radio control helicopter (Trex 500).

Would like to be able to look at the heli in flight with the camera (in video mode is ok) and see what speed the rotors are spinning at.

All that's required is a method of adjusting the camera shutter speed while pointing at the heli until the blades look stationary. (Maybe use the volume rocker for adjustment)

Also a little routine to put the revolution figures on screen.

The heli blades should spin at about 2700rpm but for a wider variety of helis, would like to read a range from about 1900 to 3200 rpm.

A shutter harmonic frequency could be used as I dont think the shutter can operate at these speeds.

There are units available that use this method... But the mobile phone with camera already has the hardware needed. Just need a little bit of programming, I'm guessing.

If anyone can help i'm sure there would be a lot of interest from various fields....

Feedback on the idea welcome.....

aero star

PS. Thinking of existing measuring apps available, any reason why shutter speed can't be added to give object speed calculation and result etc etc

PPS. Recording the heli in flight and then applying the Tachometer software would be ok.... might be easier to adjust the shutter speed for the video recording or playback... ???

Nope, not unless anyone ported them over/upgraded them. Simply Honey 3.9 is a JVP based gingerbread rom, so the framework and app bases are different than froyo. Flashing a stock KB5 froyo theme over a gingerbread rom will guarantee you a trip to Odin.

Check out the themes section though, I'm sure there are a few themes compatible with simply honey that you might like.

How about using metamorph is it possible? if not than thanx for the info I guest I'll wait to see if anyone will port a theme for it.

hi, today i will teach a method to have a full working keyboard without the need of connecting the phone to the PC.

1st open Mini rom manager (ATTENTION if it is your 1st time running the app don't worry if the phone restarts it's normal if it ask for root permissions just allow it)

2nd start the Mini Rom Manager again

3rd you will see 4 tabs in the app.

1st is rom manager, 2nd is backup and restore, the 3rd one is for settings and the 4th is the about rom tab.

Select the 3rd tab(settings)

in this tab you will find 2 options,

the 1st says change hw keyboard layout(select this one), and the other say's settings

choose your keyboard from the list

now just go to the 1st tab (rom manager) and select reboot phone.. Done :)

If you are Portuguese keep this in mind

For PT-PT keyboard you need to select qwerty-br

if you want others keyboards it should work too.

BTW: Thanks owain94 for the tip.
