[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apolyxon:
There is no need to fully wipe when doing that minor upgrade to 1.0.39. I think you only need to fully wipe when changing ROMs. You probably do not even have to wipe Dalvik cache but since it only takes a few minutes to reload it, I would do it anyway.

Data wipe is completely overkill, however.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
Thanks Apolyxon for your quick reply! I had thaught as much, as I knew wiping data also would effectively commit a factory restore & I would lose all my apps, settings etc! Just wanted to be sure! ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CWHS:
I'd update to 4.0.A.2.368 in yesterday to on Arc, i'm impress with the power consumption performance and Calender interface.

However i used to have the "Power Control" widget on my center homescreen, and now it was gone, i've been found out that someone have the same problem with me, i don't know will SE fix it or not, but at the mean time can i install the "Power Control" widget back(i know the power control on ARC have a different on the theme than the android stock one), can some one help me upload the 2.3.3 "Power Control" Widget or teach me though how to extract it from a old version ROM(i got a 2.3.2 ROM on hand "LT15i_3.0.A.2.181_Global_Customized.ftf")

I'll be pleased if anyone can help, thank you.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemonicHawk:
If you don't insist on having that exact widget, you should check out widgetsoid on the android market, its a free and highly customizable version of the Power Control widget.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
I use the "status switch" instead - I think it's a bit better.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CWHS:
Thank you DemonicHawk and im_iceman on reply.

I'd try "widgetsoid" and "status switch", didn't feel like the same with the Arc custom "Power Control", because i want is a 4 x 1 "Wifi/BT/GPS/Sync/Backlight", "widgetsoid" like other alternative widget can't toggle GPS directly(Instead bring me to Location and Security setting Page), and it's high cost in RAM(12M, Power Control Plus, Free Power Widget were like so too), finally it's custom made alpha icon match the tone of my home.

Hope you guy can help me on this one, thanks.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raoa:
It is part of Settings.apk. 4.0.A.2.368adds Xloud but this widget is gone and you can not get it back unless you install old Settings.apk and loose Xloud.

This widget is pretty much unneeded since it does the same as single on off widgets.

I have attached old FW Settings.apk. Maybe the widget can be extracted from it, maybe not. Tried to find it in this package, without success.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CWHS:
Let me try on this, thank you so much Raoa.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CWHS:
Well, thats one of the point, and 3 more advantage it had.

1. It's customized in Arc tone

2. It use way less RAM than other alternative like Power Control Plus(eating 12MB+)

3. It directly toggle On/off for the GPS control, unlike other 3rd Party alternative they use to not working or it redirect you to "Location and Security" page, need 2 step to do a 1 step press, and i didn't see any alternative can do this that directly command the On/Off.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molnartibor:
Id be glad to sacrifice xLoud to get back the Power Control Widget. Is there any tutorial how to replace this file with the old one (on non-rooted system)?

Also, the single on-off widgets are not able to change the backlight in 3 levels as the power control widte used to :(

and either delete the sound file inside it or change it to some thing you like

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Not yet no, as stated on the other threads, some of which on the same page you've posted on, asking the same thing.
[Desire General] Ano8:
Hi,

I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 on my HTC Desire with Apps2SD.

I was deleting an 800MB file off my phone when it was mounted on my PC and then my PC crashed mid-way through deleting the file and now I can't see the file that way being deleted but the space shows it's not deleted...

And I've also been getting a lot of "SD Card Damaged" notifications on my Phone (reboot fixes it) that were unrelated to the above.

So I wanted to reformat my SD Card (or fix disk errors or something).

I've got a 14GB FAT32 partition and and a 1GB Ext3 partition for apps.

Is it as simple as copying the contents from the FAT32 and Ext3 and then using gparted to erase and format a 1GB Ext3 and the rest FAT32?

(I'm running Linux - Ubuntu 11.04)

Should I do it by MicroSD>SD Card Adapter>PC

Or MicroSD>Phone>USB Cable>PC?

Thanks :)
[Desire General] 777ace:
Yes, it is.

Either would work fine, though I have heard of some folks having issues with the SD>Phone method...
[Desire General] Ano8:
What If I change the size of the Ext3 partition?

If I change it from a 1GB to a 700MB will it adjust and work fine?
[Desire General] BigMrB:
Should be fine... as long as you don't require a 1gb partition on your rom

And I would do it by MicroSD>SD Card Adapter>PC
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
With a card reader micro sd card adapter, ubuntu sometimes complains the sd card is read-only. If it's so, start nautilus with root rights:

gksudo nautilus

Now you can copy the content.
[Desire General] Ano8:
Thanks, copying from SD Card now...
[Desire General] t-minik:
i made like this :

- make a nanroid Backup with your recovery

- save your FAT32 partition on your computer, don't forget Hiden files.

- format your SD as you want

- put your FAT32 from computer to SD

- restore your nandroid backup with recovery

- it's Done ;)
[Desire General] Ano8:
Is it better to do it like that, than just copying the ext partition?
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
That / there is no "better" way. It's just an alternative.
[Desire General] t-minik:
yep, just an alternative for those who don't use Linux ;)
[Desire General] Ano8:
Oh, ok.

I am copying stuff back onto the SD Card now...

Stuck on Boot Loop Cyanogenmod 7

What did I do wrong?
[Desire General] mobileguy20:

[Desire General] Ano8:
What???!?

I have a boot loop now.

How do I fix?

Is there some sort of temporary files that could be deleted?
[Desire General] Ano8:
HELP!!!!!!!!!!
[Desire General] Ano8:
I can still go to Bootloader...
[Desire General] Ano8:
HELP!

What should I do?

I don't want to loose data!
[Desire General] Ano8:
Bump..........
[Desire General] germanhoss:
Um - bad situation :(

Maybe you should try to reformat the card exactly as it was, play back the contents and pray.

You wrote, that you had a read/write error with a 800 MB file and multiple error messages.

I would have saved my data per Titanium and Nandroid, formated and make a fresh ROM install. But alas - that´s no option at the moment.

If the above doesn´t work maybe the folks in the CM7 section have an idea.
[Desire General] Ano8:
It won't even turn on with no SD Card in it.

What do I do?
[Desire General] Ano8:
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
[Desire General] germanhoss:
No, what I meant: you format the SD card via your PC exactly with the same partitition sizes as before and name or label them the same way.
[Desire General] andQlimax:
I think the rom should boot even with NO sdcard in it...

If doesn't boot (wait at least 15 minutest to be sure it doesn't boot!), reflash only the rom from the recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and try boot again..U not lost data, at least if u don't wipe data
[Desire General] Ano8:
Will that work?
[Desire General] Ano8:
How do I do that?

What do you mean? If I do the above things I will not loose data???
[Desire General] Ano8:
bump......
[Desire General] germanhoss:
Just to be sure there is no misunderstanding:

- you had CM7 on your Desire with App2SD

- you have copied the content from both partitions to your hard drive

- you made sure, you have all files copied including hidden files

- you have not fully wiped via recovery

If that´s the situation most of your data is still safe because it´s on your hard drive. In your phone´s internal memory should still be the CM7-ROM and maybe some apps.

If you format your SD card exactly as before - first the FAT32 partition followed by the 1 GB EXT3 partition and copy the content back it SHOULD work. Even if it not work you don´t loose anything.

The way I would go, if I were confronted with such a mess and the above doesn´t work:

- format card: FAT32, then EXT3

- copy back the FAT32 data from hard drive

- reinstall CM7

- reinstall apps

This way all your music, videos, books or pictures are back.

The problem with that way is the app-data - you will probably loose things like save games or notes, which aren´t backed up.

You could try to install one app after another, always have a look, where the app saves it data and replace it then with the data from your hard drive. This COULD work with some apps.
[Desire General] Ano8:
What about if I did a nandroid backup of what I currently have, then do a fresh CM7 install, then, try to restore different parts of the backup (ie. ext)?

I'm using this for Apps2SD
[Desire General] germanhoss:
1. Is the situation as I asked in my last post?

2. If yes, have you tried the first way?
[Desire General] Ano8:
Yes

2. If yes, have you tried the first way?[/QUOTE]

Yes, it didn't work (unless I partitioned it wrong...(unlikely))
[Desire General] Ano8:

[Desire General] Ano8:

[Desire General] Ano8:
When I try to do a nandroid backup from recovery I get this error:

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0

(or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)

(invalid argument)

Can't mount /sdcard

I think that's why it's doing a boot loop...

How to fix?
[Desire General] germanhoss:
Hello,

did you format the card with gparted?
[Desire General] Ano8:
I sure did.
[Desire General] germanhoss:
What does your phone say, when you then try to format the card via recovery?
[Desire General] Ano8:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0

(or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)

(invalid argument)

Can't mount /sdcard
[Desire General] germanhoss:
Looks like you need a new card then :-)

You could try to reformat the card with another block size. But first priority before anything else can work is to get a working SD card.
[Desire General] Ano8:
The SD Card works fine with a card reader in my PC.

And I tried my old 4GB card (also works fine with PC) and I still get a boot loop.

What do you mean another block size?
[Desire General] germanhoss:
That your card works fine in the card reader doesn´t mean it´s fine for your phone.

Try googling "E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0" and you see what I mean.

With another block size you make sure to format the card on a low level.

Have a look at this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital

With your old card: did you also get the "E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0" error?

If so, then something else may be fishy.
[Desire General] Ano8:
No, I didn't try to format it. I still use it for other stuff. I got a boot loop when I put it in my phone though.
[Desire General] germanhoss:
Well, to sort out one error after another to get you a working phone back it would be good to have a second SD card. What about putting the "other stuff" on your PC and try to format it then?
[Desire General] t-minik:
are you sure you didn't change EXT format ?

exemple you were EXT3 and change for EXT4 or vice versa ?
[Desire General] Ano8:
I don't think so...
[Desire General] Ano8:
I put my MicroSD card in my Windows computer and it said it didn't recognize it and it needed formating.

I used EASEUS on Windows to format it like I did with gparted on Ubuntu.

Then I copyied everything back using Ubuntu.

Works great now!

Don't know what went wrong when I did it with gparted... But now it works :)

I always feel that after rooting, the booting takes longer. But today i flashed the latest cyanogenmod 7 nightly, 08062011, i think it is faster.

With a stopwatch, i monitored the time from the first wakeup viberation to the lockscreen appearance.

Test 1: splash 37.32 seconds, bootanimation 15.27. Totally 52.59 seconds.

Test 2: Splash 53.35 seconds, bootanimation 4 seconds.

Are these periods normal? What could be done to improve it?

Currently my desire is on cm r2 hboot and using ext3 storage. Will higher class sdcard improve the boot time?
[Desire General] bortak:
sounds about right, and sd-class wouldn't change boot time since boot.img and system.img is on nand memory.

You can change the font to something larger, I think. For the battery drain, check your update frequency and try juice defender. Also, be sure to calibrate

Hi

I will try my best to explain this :)

I would like to create an image in Photoshop and place this image above a bunch of game icons in my phone.

See below.

As you can see, i left an area blank and this is where my picture will go. It's an image i've created that simply says "Games".

I have 2 problems with this.

1. When i try placing the picture, the dimensions come out really weird... as you know when you put a picture in your background you have to decide how you want the picture sitting with the dimension box.

confused? like this...

and yes, i have tried those sizes lol.

For those of you that are fimiliar with the AccuWeather widget when you first purchased the phone, i want the image to come out exactly like that... a perfect horizontol picture.

2. My second problem is, i can't seem to put pictures on my phone that have transperancy? the transperant area always comes out black.
