[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSnet:
Hi,

I have the N1 with SD card in FAT32, and most apps were moved to SD using App2SD, and I am rooted.

I hear that EXT3 or 4 gives me advantages.

How can I convert my current SD card to a partitioned, swapped, EXT3 or 4 card, and keep all my apps working?

Can I just copy the SD contents to my Mac, then use Amon, then restore the SD and it'll all magically work, or will I lose all my apps by copying the SD contents to Mac?

Also please advise the ideal swap size and other sizes when partitioning in Amon.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nekobus:
Can I suggest you titanium backup for prevent losing app's preferences?

Make a full backup of all apps with tb then copy all your sd on computer and you're ready to partition or wipe and flashing all u want! ;)

For me 0mb of swap and 1024mb of ext3/4 works great!! I'm with cg7 so I'm able to use s2e, it's really a greate app, search it on market !
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beer Goggles:
You can definitely copy all of the files on are SD to another computer. I would always backup those up from time to time.

My personal preference is to boot my laptop using a USB drive with Ubuntu on it. Then I can use gpartd to repartition without recopying the data (BACKUP ANYWAY!).

gpartd allows resizing and creating partitions while maintaining the data.

I created a 512MB partition (no swap) and used S2E to move all my apps from the FAT32 partition. Worked great.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJSnet:
Thanks, I tried as you both suggested and succeeded with relatively few problems.

How do I actually click 'Go' in S2E. I have checked the box 'Applications', but I can't see how to actually make it 'Start' moving them. Or does it just happen automagically on reboot?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
One added thought--

I prefer sdformatter to format card. I find after redoing sdcard from time to time with this flashing mania, that the phone does not format as cleanly and remnants are left behind--can cause issues

Ken
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momomok:
Check the box, then reboot.

And you're good to go.

Remember to move back apps from SD to internal (internal is now your SD-ext)

And don't forget to set install location to internal in CMsettings
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darktex:
If you got a computer with a Linux distribution, you may use gparted and resize your partition without any need to format it entirely ;-)
[HD2 Accessories] FriedSushi87:
I'm looking around for a new mount for my T-Mobile HD2. I found this forum strongly supports BRODIT, yet I can't find much information to see if it fits an HD2 inside of a case or not, or what would be the best course of action if you had a Case on your HD2 and wanted to use a car-mount.

I apologize if this has been asked a million times.

Thank you.
[HD2 Accessories] SirSpanky:
The Brodit page for the HD2 is:

http://brodit.se/productList.html?locale=en&brand=HTC&model=HD2&pn=prod

but you will need to find a local distributer.

AFAIK the HD2 holders are all for caseless phones.
[HD2 Accessories] antaed:
This is what I use:

http://www.exogear.com/products-exomount-car-mount-holder.html

Check the video, this is a fantastic product and I'm very satisfied with my choice.

Its main advantages are:

- it can be used with any device (up to 5")

- the grip is unbelievable, it can be attached to almost any clean dry surface

- it has a lockable ball joint for angle adjustment

- it is not expensive

The only thing it lacks to be perfect is the material which is hard plastic.

It looks and feels good quality but I wish it was made of aluminium.

I live in Europe so I got it from here:

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/exogear-exomount-universal-case-compatible-car-mount-p30552.htm
[HD2 Accessories] Cenobite_:
I also recommend Brodit. The fact that you have to take the phone out of the case is just a minor disadvantage. In my opinion anyways.
[HD2 Accessories] FriedSushi87:
Constantly removing a phone from a case, would case damage to the case & phone if it happened multiple times per day, for months/years on end, wouldn't it?

I want to flash a kernel on a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 but is there another way of accessing the current version in order to flash the correct kernel version instead of "About Phone" option?

For example for Apple iPhones you can use iBoot.
[Fascinate General] tps784@yahoo.com:
Since the fascinate has been merged with cyanogenmod mainline, does this mean it will be supported when AOSP ice cream sandwich source code gets released? Or does Jt need to dev the whole phone over again for CM8?
[Fascinate General] Fasinationinmotion:
I would go ahead and say Cyanogen should take over totally now. Because like he said it will probably be the last update he does. If they have everything working that should give them a template to work from for 4.0. Just a guess though.

Still anxiously waiting for fascinatemtd to appear on their website!
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
Someone will have to the necessary porting. Ice Cream Sandwich will more than likely contain a much newer version of the Linux kernel, so at the very least, the Fascinate specific drivers will have to be ported to work with the newer internal API.

People on the CM team might be able to do a lot of the porting themselves, but, they will need people specifically with the Fascinate for actually testing out the code (which they may or may not have).
[Fascinate General] sarkozy:
Might be soon, might be months. Those guys are hella busy over there, so they'll get to it when they get to it. My old Eris has had "official" CM7 since last year and it's still not on the CM wiki. Lol.

Ouch
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
Jt will still have to maintain it for the fascinate, he just meant that it'll be the last compiled and distributed build of CM7 by him. Since the build bots and downloads.cyanogenmod.com take care of those two.

Good morning,

I'm new in this Atrix section. I had a Desire on which I could enable/disable data during roaming with a simple checkbox in the settings menu.

I can't find this option in my Atrix's settings. This is quiet annoying since I've a french provider and work in Luxembourg. I need from times to times to enable the data connection, but can't find how to...

Can someone help ?

Hi I'm using ClockMod v4.0.9 and can't find the place to format the SD to ext2 or ext3

anyone does this before.

Can you please share the steps and tools ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
Use minitool on pc, more easy. Too troublesome to do it via cwm.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Yes, google minitool partition wizard or gparted. Delete your sd card partitions and create a fat/fat32 partition first, then a smaller portion as ext2 or ext3. Both partitions must be primary.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] toth42:
Anyone else expiriencing this problem? For me it goes like this:

At random times the screen gets sluggish in the transitions, and stay this way for quite a while. While this is going on, I can't long-press anything, because of the "lag" the screen doesn't register long-press, but single-press. Meaning there's a bunch of features I can't use..!

It doesn't just regard the GOlauncher stuff, but all of it, like f.ex the lock-screen - if i try yo drag the slider half-way and hold it there, it won't hold, but snaps back. If I slide quickly, I can unlock the phone, so it seems that the problem is to register touches lasting longer than 1/2 sec. or so..

Is this most likely a HW or SW problem?

[YOUTUBE]zypiyLrHvIQ[/YOUTUBE]
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
I watched your video, and yes I had this problem also. Trying to unlock the phone resulted in it resetting input and being an incorrect pattern. Can you do something for me? Download mutlitouch tester (visualizer) and just hold your fingers on there, normally what it should do is stay solid, but with if your problem is the same as mine. It will blink rapidly. Mine was also periodically, the issue appeared to be with the Email and other email clients based of the stock one (not gmail or k9mail) client, so try removing all accounts on there if any. But the cause behind this was the fact that the garbage collector was running every second and it seemed to free up the memory used by the input driver. If this doesn't work, try a different ROM, like B137, or MIUI (I am using this, its great).

and most of all, let me know how you get on.

Feel free to email at ryronz@gmail.com.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] toth42:
Thanks for your reply ryronz, I'll try the multi-touch-tester next time it acts up, for now it's fixed itself again.

Are you positive it's linked to email-accounts, because I actually did just link up my exchange-account..! Could you explain this about the garbage-collector a little bit closer? Are there any settings in the exchange-account I can change to remedy the problem?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
Exchange! Yup, thats when it started happening to me, and no I never found a way to solve the garbage collector thing. Its just something that happens whenever the phone feels it needs to run, there is nothing you can do to make it happen or not happen. I ended up removing the email client and using K9Mail.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] toth42:
Even if I don't like the answer, it's always good getting closer to the problem, so thanks :)

By the way I actually did an official FW-update from Huawei, and had the same problem both before and after.

So what is this garbage-collection? What kind of garbage are we talking about?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
What the garbage collector does is when unused memory is still allocated, it will come and clear it automatically. This should only happen when the memory is used up, or near used up. But in saying that even though it is running all the time, the input driver memory should not be getting garbage collected. So my guess is its another poorly written driving from Huawei.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Gefjon:
I have the same problem here. However I have not, up till now, been able to identify what caused the lagging (and battery drainage?).

For testing purposes, I have today deactivated the current exchange account setup, and installed another email client (Touchdown). With the new client running, the lagging was gone.

After that, I have removed Touchdown and reactivated my old account setup.

A search on Google indicates that there might be some issues with Android and the use of Exchange email....

As a new test, I have now changed the sync periode from one hour to 'push'. I found that suggestion somewhere in my search for a solution.

Maybe it is to early to conclude, but as far as I can see after a few hours with the phone mostly in standby, I can spot some improvements with regards to both the lagging and battery drainage.
[Galaxy S II General] huracaniki:
Hi all,

I was an iphone user because with jailbreak there is a openvpn package that allow me to connect via vpn ssl to my work and check internal mail.

Now i have move to android with sgs2 and i rooted it and follow a guide (sergiodeluz.wordpress.com/software/android/openvpn-ssltls-para-android-eclair-2-1-y-froyo-2-2) and installed busybox and openvpn installer and settings.

i deploy in sd the files crt ca key y ovpn and the phone ask my for credentials and connect sucessfully to my firewall. On firewall side i checked that the phone is connected and is ok.

BUT the phone cant ping any internal ip address and in my opinion is that is not able to create new routes or the tun iface.

so my question is how can i debug the problem because now i have more knowledge in Ios than in android.

Thanks

My alarm app randomly stopped working earlier. Found fix for the alarm issue that worked at least on my rooted phone. Went into titanium backup (free version), found the app "[ALARMS] clock..." and pressed it. I selected defrost and voila, the clock app was back in the app drawer, for now at least. Don't know why the app froze itself.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sixteen2nd:
Thanks for this info!

Are you S-OFF?

Are you rooted?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
I believe he is.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dlipetz:
You had me excited until I realized this solution requires root... I'm still alarm-less.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
you still have alarm..just press the clock widget, not the weather part of it and itll bring u to alarm...just no app in drawer. no big.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dlipetz:
Uh no.

Clock App is missing. That means the widget doesn't work as it once did. No app, nothing for the widget to call.

Look at ALL the other posts around the forums from people with same issue.

Even the phone has the clock app grayed out in the all apps list and is listed as 0 bytes. HTC has acknowledged the problem. So it is a biggie indeed. Glad it works for you however, but mine and many others do not.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
No need for the attitude, I was unaware it was this type of issue, I thought it was just the app not showing up in the app drawer. Are you not rooted?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dlipetz:
Attitude was only in response to your shrugging off my problem as user error. I've been banging my head against the wall with this issue for the last week. Even more infuriating is that I took the time to do a factory reset and that was not a permanent solution.

Anyway, no I am not rootedand I'm not going that direction either as I am a corporate user and need to keep the phone stock.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
Well all I can do is laugh then. I didn't take your clock away, I didn't tell you to do a factory reset. Like I said, I mistook it as a different situation. My clock app doesn't show up in GB either, but the app still worked, so actually I was trying to help and you be a ****. So Cheers! :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dlipetz:
You are so confused. And now ignored.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
I'm not confused one bit. But please do ignore. That's what you should have done to begin with, or ya know, not be a ****. ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] edster00:
This must be the xda forums...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kingsway8605:
The clock app goes away completely for most. Widget doesn't respond and no app in the drawer. If you go into applications in settings it is grayed out. If you had an alarm set before the app disappearing, it goes off as scheduled repeatedly with no way to access the app to change it.

However using my method stated in op fixes this issue for me at least. It does require root though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
See I just thought it was the literal clock widget missing from the app drawer, but the clock still worked.. cos that's what happened to me in GB, the clock works fine alarms and all but no app in app drawer, only way to access it is by clicking the clock on the home screen weather widget.

did you by chance delete the htclockscreen.apk? this has been known in the past to not be able to turn off the alarm. but I could be way off.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kingsway8605:
No, just running a rooted version of the stock rom with some bloat removed. The problem with the alarm clock is present in the official ota Rom though. For some reason, the clock app freezes itself and I just unfroze it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trebor8806:
I have did some searching everywhere in the Epic 4G threads and didn't find anything to help me.

I recently just flashed to SRF 1.2, and wiped all data 3 times each. Everything seems to be running smoothly, but there is one problem. When I slide the keyboard open the screen orientation does not switch to landscape. Only in the homescreens it won't switch, but when I open my email or msging app it will switch to landscape, even with auto-rotate turned off. I have gone through the Display settings and all the settings in spare parts, and even looked through the Galaxy tuner but then uninstalled it thinking it was the problem, but still no help.

Anybody have a clue as to why my screen orientation won't switch to landscape when I slide the keyboard open?

I am also using the Twilight Kernel for a few months now since flashing the SRF roms, so I don't think that would be the issue?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] OUTATIMEMK:
So I've searched and I haven't found an exact step by step method to get there - I just wanted to make sure I have this right so I don't brick my phone:

1. First, make a backup using Astro or Titanium

2. Obtain S-OFF with AlphaRevX, load ClockWork Mod

3. Create nandroid backup

4. Load Gingersense R1
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Bob-o:
There is no way to s-off or root 2.3.3. Also, you would get s-off with alpharevx, which will give you clockwork. Then you flash the superuser zip and then your rooted. You can flash gingersense sithouy going to cm7 first once your rooted. But alas, we cant root gingerbread ota yet. Hang tight it'll come. Froyo 2.2.1 is what you need to be on to get root.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] OUTATIMEMK:
Oh, I know you can't root the 2.3.3 update directly which is why I'm still on 2.2.1 having declined the update.

I'm having trouble knowing exactly what "flashing the superuser zip and then your rooted" are. So it's after that step that I can flash Gingersense - or does Gingersense take care of that for me that already?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tpbklake:
Once you S-OFF with AlphaRevX and also let AlphaRevX install ClockworkMod recovery, you are ready to flash any custom, rooted ROM you wish, including Gingersense. Almost all custom ROMs will have root/superuser built in.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cambunch:
GingerSense is already rooted. The "flash superuser" is only if you are going to use the stock ROM. Use alpharevx, create nandroid backup in ClockWorkMod, wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache, then install GingerSense zip.

Maybe change the title? It might mislead some to think there is a root method for 2.3.3
