[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] sileshnair:
You don't need to do anything. The rom has app2ext built-in. You just need to create the ext partition.

Also note that CM7 based roms don't move the dalvik-cache to ext partition. You need to modify the script to do it. I have posted a modified script for that in the same thread. Check the last 2 pages.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] lucasfais:
Thanks @sileshn!

I will try this script :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] lucasfais:
@sileshn:

1. Are there some special reason to original script don't move dalvik-cache to ext?

2. What's your recommendation? Moving or not?

3. What do you think about Darktremor App2SD?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] sileshnair:
1. Yes, to increase stability.

2. Don't move. It is better to leave it in internal memory

3. I don't think Darktremor script works on the milestone. I have not tried.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] lucasfais:
Thanks man!

Now I undertand...

Thanks for clearing all my doubts about Apps2Ext!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] lucasfais:

How about moving apps data to ext? Some objection?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
Stability and performance of the apps will be affected.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] nirusgameid:
Hi, I use froyomod 2.9.3 and I used to use i&f 4 but, I saw better performance on tfm so I switched over, I used to have an ext4 partition but none of the apps showed so I went back made a list and dloaded them again. But the internal memory kept dropping every time I installed an app. w 70 apps my int mem only had 19 megs left. But my ext partition still had 100 mb left (verified using free space- krikun). Please help cuz I cant install any more apps
[Verizon Droid Charge] whiteblazer01:
First, I know there is NO notification LED on the Charge. I'm sure some of you are tired of requests and want to yell at me, and others want to say I told you so, there is a notification LED.

I want t see if there is an app that would allow the bottom hardware buttons to function as the notification LED. Similar to how the HTC Touch Pro 1 notifications worked (pulsing for e-mail, fade in/out for sms, etc...).

Any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Charge] aznxk3vi17:
NoLED. There's a workaround to get only the backlit keys working.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
there is a way to enable BLN (backlight notifications) but it must be done through some custom kernel work, which afaik right now is not possible since we don't have kernel source code to work with
[Verizon Droid Charge] whiteblazer01:
Yea, I forgot to mention in my original post I've tried noLED. It worked fine except the whole power button thing was annoying. I had to turn the screen "on" with the home button (even though technically the screen is already on. The app said the power button feature is buggy). Again, this just goes to personal preference, and some people may not understand why I have trouble when it works for them, but I have my own preferences as that's just me. I don't like the screen bright at night, so I changed the icon colors, then I couldn't see the icons well during the day, so I had to change them back. I don't like that the icons flash around the screen (even though that's to get my attention - hence the whole purpose of the app), but it didn't completely suit my needs. It is a good app, and I'll continue to use it (I'll have to reinstall it), but my main problem is I couldn't configure it to show Google Voice notifications. I don't use sms, I only use Google Voice, and this didn't work as well. Same with the puzzle lockscreen; it doesn't show Google Voice notifications.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
If you monitor google voice (in settings) it does show google voice notifications because I do it. The little google voice pops up.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Not completely true... We have the kernel source for Froyo. We (TeamGummyCharged) worked on BLN's for the charge but failed on first try.. The BLN also requires a binary for the lights one that is not compatible with the Charge.. Maybe after 2.0 is released and we have more time we will pick it up again by reaching out to the original dev for that project but at the moment it is shelved.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
nice, good to know you guys can work on it... I personally don't see a use for it as the hardkey lights don't seem bright enough, though it'd be nice as an option :D (I'm coming from a Fascinate where they were bright and actually useful lol)

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedrohz:
Hi guys,

I have unlocked my bootloader a few days ago, and also installed the CWM recovery, which I used to install the ATT 2.3.4 ROM (I own an International Atrix), and it was working flawlessly. Being annoyed by that bunch of bloatware, I decided to install the Alien-ROM, so I wiped data with fastboot -w, and entered CWM to erase the cache partition/dalvik cache and install Alien. The problem is, when I tried to install the .zip package, CWM threw at me "Installation Aborted", with no error message whatsoever, just before "Beginning Installation". At first I thought my .zip was corrupted, so I re-downloaded it and tried again, but got the same error.

Being unable to install the AlienROM, I fastbooted the ORFR ROM (surely a lot cleaner than ATT's) and installed the ROM manager app, and through it, updated my CWM to the latest version. And then there I was trying to install the .zip again, with no success. As a last effort, I uninstalled manually the install-recovery.sh file and the recovery partition, reinstalled Tenfar's CWM, but fell into the same error: "Installation Aborted".

Does someone have a clue of that is happening??

Thanks in advance.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpratik:
Rom manager recovery does not work always.what I suggest is use tenfar recovery and then put alien zip on your ext.SD card and use tenfar recovery --- choose zip from SD card--- browse and select alien.zip and flash through it.

Hope this helps.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedrohz:
Well, I tried to install Tenfar's CWM, as I said at the end of my first post. I recently installed a new CWM-based recovery, and it also failed to install any .zip. Could it be because I'm using ORFR ROM? I've noticed the misbehaving os CWM when I uninstalled ATTs ROM...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pukemon:

Any clues? :(
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swiftks:
How are you installing RomRacer's CWM? Flashing the .zip or via fastboot?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedrohz:
I've installed it through fastboot, as it's the only way I can do it... my problem resides solely on the fact that I can't install any .zip through it, I keep getting "Installation aborted", no matter what I try to install (Kernels/ROMs/etc)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamastang:
Pedrohz... Are you using a Mac? If so do you have it set to unzip after downloading? Then are you re-zipping the file before you try to install? If so turn off the unzip feature. Just a thought... Hope it helps
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kartik50:
Similar Issue, can't boot into anything :/ if you can help, read below :S

Ok, so I backed up using Oringinal CWM, and it said all OK. After this, I restored the backup, just to check all was working. I got the error error formatting /system. Rebooting, I found that my phone wouldn't boot. Thinking the only way out was to flash a new ROM, I flashed the new boot.img from evals Orange France 2.3.4 firmware, so that I would have the ram fix. After this, I wiped all the caches and the user data, and tried to install the ROM.

SAME FRIGGEN ERROR. no error code, just installation aborted.

Finally, I tried AGAIN with romracers cwm, but same error. Restoring from backup now gives the error - "Unable to flash new boot.img" or something along those lines.

If anyone cares, heres what my phones running

Firmware = Orange UK 4.4.20 (Android 2.2.2)

SBF= Bell_ihop (the international bootloader unlock sbf)

State= Won't boot past the big red M in the centre of the screen.

[Desire General] s3rvus:
Hi,

a few days ago, HTC released a developer version of Android 2.3 for the Desire on

http://developer.htc.com (they changed the developer web site now and maybe it isn't available any longer).

Fact is: Everyone who installed this ROM is currently unable to root it or downgrade it again because HTC added a new locked bootloader.

This thread is ment to work together to find ideas how to unlock the bootloader again.

It's known that HTC announces the official bootloader unlocking for all devices already. But nobody knows for sure, how long this will take and I bet here are a lot of people who don't want to just do nothing and wait for HTC to release it.

So, let's begin. Maybe there are also some advanced members who can support us.

At first the questions:

- How is the bootloader lock implemented (does it just have write protection or is there encryption involved)?

- How were bootloaders unlocked in the past?

And last: Even if we don't get far, it's worth a try! And we will gain important experiences. I personally love this.
[Desire General] 08r3308:
I like the idea. How about xtc clip? Would it work with this boot? Or maybe we can write a petition to htc or do the while fb thing when they changed their mind and get us gungerbread. U would not mind even paying to get it unlocked.

Im sure if all of us donated to alpharev or unrevoked and get them to start working on it asap its possible?
[Desire General] Meaple:
Why not wait for either alpharev or unrevoked or both of them to release something. They do support out device so I don't see why they wouldn't try to find a way to unlock the new hboot.
[Desire General] 08r3308:
I spoke to htc support and by looks of things our device is not on their list for unloocking bootloader, so we might not be lucky.

I guess wait for alpharev or unrevoked to come up with something.

So no one knows if xtc clip would work
[Desire General] yorkshiretyke:
The update is still available. They have just changed the webpage.

It on the same page as source code downloads
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I find it both amusing and frustrating that they have included a new hboot and yet now say it isn't even on their list of supported 'unlockable bootloaders' from their new htcdev site???
[Desire General] aliensk:
re

+1 on this. Its simply against theyr policy they decide to unlock bootloaders and then they release a new hboot and even developer one and baam LOCKED
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
+1

alpharev + unrevoked >

http://revolutionary.io/

hope they achieve solution on this soon
[Desire General] 08r3308:
Apperantly htc service centre can downgrade for free
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Same thought.
[Desire General] 08r3308:
Getting htc to unlock it would be much better than hacks imo.
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
Can you give source, please?
[Desire General] 08r3308:
Check with customer service / book it in , depending who does it in your country/state.
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
This page has an upcoming link to download a boot loader unlocker from hTC.

I would find it rather surprising if they have made an exception in this program for just the Desire. Why would they?
[Desire General] 08r3308:
Not from that page but go to your htc repair centre and they will downgrade. Im waiting on confirmation from the repair centre
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Maybe htc thought like this: "do you people want so much the gingerbread update? Ok you will get the update but, as you wish so much it, you can't go back to froyo anymore! F** you and ur gingerbread update and go buy some new htc devices" :D

Regarding the bootloader there is a team that create super locked bootloaders, a team that is creating the web tool to unlock it, and the htc head boss that say "htc sensation? ok super blocked bootloaders and possibility to unlock it via web, htc desire? hm ok only super locked bootloaders, we don't need spend to much resources for an older device, .." :D

Just kidding..But htc should really change its politic!
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
I can't really see how letting the desire get unlocked by the tool is “spending resources”, rather is it spending resources to omit a phone model, from what I understand.

Even more strange would be if htc pays good money to the service centers (here in Sweden at least this is third party, and not htc firms) to unlock boot loaders if they could have a web tool do it!
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Well, every device is little different, have a different bootloader, different versions...That mean more people have to work to create, test, document it..In addition they will have a lot of people that will have problems doing it, so much work for the customer service again only for an older device (from their point of view)..Of course not only htc is like this, every producer want you to buy their new device..
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
I am quite convinced that the boot loader lock is pretty much the same for all devices and they just have to include (or exclude) the spec for all models.

They do not have to hack it, after all, they have written the source code themselves! :)
[Desire General] s3rvus:
ok

so, can anyone confirm that unrevoked or any other group is working on it?
[Desire General] teppic74:
It is likely that the problem is not to do with the bootloader (ALL of HTC's bootloaders have been locked) but that the version of Gingerbread provided cannot be rooted by the usual methods.
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Yeah but like every htc bootloader it require time to be unlocked, so nothing strange..When some exploit in the hboot is found is possible to allow root and also s-off..Is not a problem with the rom i think, as who had the latest alpharev hboot with downgrade protection (then mantained the same bootloader after the ruu upgrade) could root it easily
[Desire General] teppic74:
What do you mean by 'root it easily'?
[Desire General] andQlimax:
I do not want to be in error but i read about someone in some threads here that having the latest alpharev hboot, after the ruu upgrade, has mantained the same s-offed hboot from alpharev and then he root the rom with unrevoked if im not in error, as the unrevoked exploit is based on the hboot
[Desire General] teppic74:
unrevoked3 likely uses an hboot exploit to install custom recovery. I believe it requires a root exploit in Android to do this though -- this is certainly how it's always worked in the past.
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
There is no real point in unlocking the bootloader if it wasn't to make it easier to get root and flash custom recovery and roms and even replace hboot.

This must be just what htc want to do. Why would they unlock the bootloader if it remains locked after unlocking?

As I remember it, it was the pressure from communities like this one that made htc do the 180 degree turn in the bootloader locking question.
[Desire General] teppic74:
Unlocking the boot loader means you can flash whatever you like, rooted or otherwise. Having a rooted ROM and a locked/unlocked bootloader are not related.
[Desire General] yorkshiretyke:
I know this is not an ideal solution for everyone but if you have access to an xtc clip, the bootloader can be unlocked.

I had mine done today at local phone shop. Now running leedroid's latest Rom :-)
[Desire General] mld0491:
As i have no clue, what the heck is that?
[Desire General] andQlimax:
Google does. Search xtc clip, its an hardware thing that male s-off every htc devices

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] yorkshiretyke:
Hardware device phone shops use to unlock HTC phones. It also makes the phone s-off at same time.

However the phone doesn't have to be sim locked.

After unlocking bootloader via xtc clip. Download the bravo p99img_stock from alpharev.nl

Rename to P99IMG.zip and flash via bootloader.

Then you can root and install custom recovery

And then custom Rom
[Desire General] Toxvaerd:
Is the a guide somewhere on how to flash the P99IMG via bootloader?

When that is done, how to root? Is it just using Unrevoked?

Really want to get of this 2.3. I have som random reboots that i could live without :)
[Desire General] aygul12345:
And did you have a desire 2.3. Newest hboot?,

Is that a program or what?, why we dont have a xtc clip or whatever....
[Desire General] andQlimax:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xtc+clip

Come on, we said hundred of times what is an xtc clip
[Desire General] 08r3308:
So xtc clip can unlock 2.3.3 bootloader?
[Desire General] aygul12345:
hmm... i see...

i don't know.. i gues not NOW...
[Desire General] yorkshiretyke:
Yes it unlocks the 2.3.3 bootloader!

Even though the new hboot isn't listed in the xtc clip software

Another user on here has had it done too! If I remember I'll post his name and maybe he will confirm it too
[Desire General] aygul12345:
but are the team Unrevoked/Alpha working on hboot of the desire ? who can confirms that?,

Will Htc Hboot unlock dev.tool support Htc Desire? :confused:
[Desire General] 08r3308:
So going xtc route is better or alpharev/unrevoked once becomes avalible?
[Desire General] yorkshiretyke:
Well if you don't mind waiting I'm sure alpharev or unrevoked might be working on it. Then wait! Going xtc route will cost you ££
[Desire General] 08r3308:
Maybe will hold of for week or so. :) i like the 2.3.3 but camera is issue and i use it lot
[Desire General] nightcrow:
I've unlocked it this afternoon with xtc-clip in a local store and the device is now S-off. Back in rooting business :D

[Desire General] nickislauw:

Gewoon zon turke winkeltje in de stad, dan vraag je of ze hem kunnen unlocken/simlockvrij maken met een xtc clip, omdat als ze hem simlockvrij maken, hij ook gelijk S-OFF is!

Ik heb het daar ook laten doen, zo gebeurd :)

Dus op naar zon skir winkeltje en doen!
[Desire General] nightcrow:
Had it done bij Telephone Point in Amersfoort (Langestraat). Owner didn't believe it would work because the new hboot wasn't listed. So we tried it with the 0.93.xx hboot and it worked.

After this I had some troubles getting root with unrevoked. So I flashed a Froyo-RUU in fastboot and after that used unrevoked 3.2. Worked out well. Bit of a detour but the result's the same.
[Desire General] aygul12345:
Jaa ik heb een unbranded phone, dus hoef hem niet simlock vrij te maken... Kaksoooi... Moet eigelijk ook soon ding aanschaffen, waar kun je zn xtc clip halen?,
[Desire General] nickislauw:
laat het nou maar gewoon doen, want die dingen kosten lekker duur. en dalijk verkloot je het ook nog is..

en het maakt niet uit als hij simlockvrij is , want als je gewoon ZEGT dat hij simlockvrij moet worden gemaakt gaat hij sowieso al automatisch S-OFF..

Could someone please post a step by step procedure on how we can get the device rooted? Once again, I'm sorry about asking this ( if it is stupid enough) but the steps in the website aren't clear to me.
