[HTC Sensation] Deleted member 4217157:
So I'm an noob with a rooted TmoUS S4G and want to install some of the system apps from the Euro version (e.g. DockMode, EReader, Locations, etc). Some may ask, "well why don't you just de-brand your phone?" I have already tried this method and found the Euro version to be more sluggish and less user friendly. My biggest problem with the Euro version was that text input doesn't seem to work as well (i.e. less text fields accept prediction and spell correction, and overall the trace keyboard is far less accurate than the US version... at least for US English). Anyway i digress. So I was hoping there was some way to install a few select system apps onto the tmous stock build I have. I already have the .apk, .odex, and .so files that I pulled from the Euro stock. I have tried installing the files via Root Explorer, adb push, and adb install. I have checked permissions (rw-r--r--) on all of the files but still can't seem to get any of them to show up in the app drawer after a reboot. I read somewhere that maybe the files need to be de-odexed, but I have no idea how to do this. If anyone has an answer or a possible solution that I have not tried yet please let me know.

EDIT. I've been doing some reading and maybe there's a problem with the apk signatures. The Euro apk might have a different signature. If that is the case, does anyone know how to resign the EURO apk with a TMOUS signature? Is there a simple way to do this, maybe just using winzip, copying, and pasting? Or can you only sign an apk using a command line program?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ombraz:
I've been having problems with my Milestone for about a week now. Ever since I popped my microSD card into a Galaxy S my phone hasn't been able to recognize it. Both my laptop and desktop running various OSes are able to read the contents of the card, I've tried to reformat it multiple times and simply readjusting the card in the phone to no avail. I'm not quite sure where to go from here. Any suggestions?

Edit:

Oh by the way I'm running CM7
[HTC Wildfire S] Anthony3h18:
Ok, we got bootloader unlock now and we can use link2sd instead of this one .

As our wildfire s just got a very little amount of space of installation, i've found a command which can enable app2sd for most of the apps such as whatsapp, xda and so on.Most importantly, IT DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT:cool:

First, you must download android sdk (but not install it)

Second, enable usb debugging on your phone.

Then, open cmd.exe.

After that, use cd to enter your sdk platform-tools folder.(For new version only. Old version please use tools.).

Lastly, type

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

That's it.Simple, right?

Before :

After :

To revert it, just change the command to adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0.

Remember, DONT PUT WIDGET TO SD CARD.

Also, System App (such as Facebook and Gmail) can't be move to SD card unless you are s-off
[HTC Wildfire S] segulsen83:
Do we need Android sdk for the command? As this command didn`t work for my Wildfire S.
[HTC Wildfire S] Anthony3h18:
Just refer to my first post. I've edited it already.
[HTC Wildfire S] segulsen83:
First of all thanks for your work, but that didn`t work for my phone again. It gives "adb" error. I had better wait for S-Off and then root my device for apps2sd. Thanks again.
[HTC Wildfire S] feroxxx:
thanks a lot.

make you say phone mem free now:)
[HTC Wildfire S] ttoppouzokypraios:
Thanx for this!

although it doesn't work for all apps - people which is one of the most memory consuming of all apps still cannot be moved

For those who downloaded the sdk and get the adb not found error in the command prompt you'll need to run first the SDK manager.exe file and tell it to download stuff. I think you don't have to install the sdk when asked but test it yourself as I continued to install everything (1.8 Gb needed)
[HTC Wildfire S] Ventage:
Thanks a lot. Great tip.
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
Thanks great help
[HTC Wildfire S] amangbulits:
very useful info thanks allot
[HTC Wildfire S] KristianKenneth:
i don't get this, can you be more precise on the steps for the n00bs and why do we need this since WS can move apps to SD card on settings app
[HTC Wildfire S] stressfreesoul:
Awesome, thanks to the OP I now have an extra 11mb!

Cheers dude! :):)
[HTC Wildfire S] compro01:
where do you obtain the usb driver? it seems to have disappeared from the HTC site (all it offers me in the downloads is the manual) and the google driver won't work with the wildfire s.

running windows 7 x64 if it helps.
[HTC Wildfire S] Anthony3h18:
Try HTC sync
[HTC Wildfire S] Aef 101:
I think you can also carry out the process using the Terminal Emulator App, must be rooted though in order for it to work.

Run terminal emulator

Type SU press enter

Type pm setInstallLocation 2

Simple.

[HTC Wildfire S] Aef 101:
Install HTC Sync on your pc (just plug phone into the pc via usb, it will install) and then uninstall it, this inserts the correct drivers onto your pc.

To check do this assuming you are using MS Windows:

Open "Device Manager (start ->Right click Computer -> Click on Device Manager), Under "Other Devices", you should now see "Android 1.0"

If you do not see Android 1.0 you have not installed correctly.

[HTC Wildfire S] compro01:
my wildfire s never gave me that when i got it a month ago. must be a virgin mobile/bell eccentricity.

htc sync doesn't appear to be available on htc's canadian site for some reason, but i'm grabbing it via the european site now.

hopefully this'll work.

EDIT: no need to even install sync. it installs the driver as part of the preliminary work.

the app2sd works great. gives me a little more room to work with.
[HTC Wildfire S] ZXYannis:
SDK is unnessary , we just need ADB in SDK, I will upload it for you guys.:D
[HTC Wildfire S] pablo7890:
Hi :D

Thanks a lot for a few MB free now ;)

One question. It's for most apps, but how can I move 2 sd apps like Gmail etc? It's root required?

Cheers
[HTC Wildfire S] Anthony3h18:
You can't move system app to SD even you have root. But if you have root, you can move it to data app.
[HTC Wildfire S] pablo7890:
Thanks for information.. so, I'm waiting for free software to unlock my bootloader. ;D

[HTC Wildfire S] hardikrajgor123:
Thanks a lot mate, worked really well! :)
[HTC Wildfire S] hypercode:
i was used link2sd and it was great for this. you can try it.
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Thanks for the nice tip. A few more apps now allow moving to SD Card, even if the "largest" data hungry ones like Facebook still aren't ready for that jump.

Still got a few megabytes more on my WFS though... ;-)
[HTC Wildfire S] bugsome:
very usefull info

thanks for the tip..very useful indeed...saved me 20 mb internal memory
[HTC Wildfire S] victorharsh:
Working in my HTC Wildfire S

Hi, thanks for this info/post.

Now i can move most of the application to my SD card.

its work well for my HTC Wildfire S (not a root phone nor a S-off) ;););););)
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
can you explain more precisely what to do, since i can`t do it. (newb) :)

edit: didnt have htc sync and drivers, installing and will reply.

edit2: downloaded, and used fastboot folder from a poster on page 2, so i didnt have to update whole thingy.... Anyway, clicked thanks to both of u guys. ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] mozil177:
Many thanks, got more space in my WFS:):)
[HTC Wildfire S] Anthony3h18:
You can also use this app:

https://market.android.com/details?...mNvbS5sZWluYXJkaS5zZXRpbnN0YWxsbG9jYXRpb24iXQ..

It require root but you can use my tutorial to root on s-on.
[HTC Wildfire S] billclay1988:
You deserve a big thanks! This tip has made my phone a little more tolerable. Now I have to wait for an S-Off solution so I can move those system apps off of the internal memory.
[HTC Wildfire S] rohil surana:
I tried it . But was stuck with an error . I finally got over it . I tried again and it gave me a good sign as if the job was done but when I try to move none of the apps which were previously on my phone move. I did it 2 to 3 times but it didn't work.
[HTC Wildfire S] hardikrajgor123:
I can't get this to work after I updated to 2.3.5

It used to work perfectly before the update.
[HTC Wildfire S] Anthony3h18:
Mine work well. I am using 2.3.5 (update from ruu)
[HTC Wildfire S] hardikrajgor123:
I get a 'daemon still not running error'. What could be the possible reason? I'm on Windows 7 using the default command prompt.
[HTC Wildfire S] Anthony3h18:
Thats not the phone's problem. Try restarting the computer or update the sdk.
[HTC Wildfire S] anupshaji:
I'm getting the following error-adb server is out of date * killing***.deamon stilll notrunning error:cannot connect to daemon.

Help pls ..

im a new b

.. using W7, got sdk manager installed .. what should i do now,, any1 pls upload the link of reqired things,, low mem is bugging me...
[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
just gonna give this a try now...recently updated to 2.3.5...hopefully it will still work tho. that update took me from 30mb free with no updates and no custom apps to around 100mb free with no updates and custom apps....

since doing various updates (except google maps), and lots of other apps i wanted, like amazon, poweramp, google sky maps, etc etc....i have now between 38-41mb free usually...but hopefully this will boost it back up even more again :)

is there a list of safe/not safe apps to move? might make it easier for everyone and stop people from damaging their phones?

::EDIT::

These are the only newly moveable apps after this tip. So i saved around 400Kb by moving flashlight.

Thanks though, it's better than nothing, and maybe others will save alot more. Hopefully someone will find a way of moving the bigger culprits like facebook, htc sense, google maps, market, etc.

Safe Apps:-

Flashlight (as in torch, not as in adobe flash...works exactly as before)

Unsafe Apps:-

Display brightness (no longer enables the indicator)

Juice Defender (won't work because it controls aspects of the system+also uses widget)

Superuser (system app)

Battery Monitor Widget (widget)
[HTC Wildfire S] logout20:
so it won't work PROPELY after update to 2.3.5....what's the difference....
[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
huh? it did work...just there are still some app that it won't let you move. but there are others that were previously locked to internal for no good reason (e.g. the flashlight app) which i've now moved to the sd.

maybe i'm wrong, but i think that this tip only works for some apps anyway, reguardless as to whether you are on 2.3.3 or 2.3.5?

i don't think anyone can move the big ones like facebook etc? unless i've misread?
[HTC Wildfire S] Anthony3h18:
If you got superuser, you can use link2sd instead. It requires root.
[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
even if it's just temp root?
[HTC Wildfire S] Anthony3h18:
Yes, except system app.:D
[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
awesome, might have to give this a go then...what happens if you need to restart your phone/lose root though? do the apps moved to sd still function correctly? or will they stop working until i'm rooted again?

::EDIT::

just tried link2sd and although it does give me the option to move a few more apps (facebook etc), it fails to move them, just brings up an error. So i assume that i've freed up as much space as i can already :p

one thing i did (riskily) try yesterday was deleting the data for HTC Sense.....which had ammassed an astounding 21Mb of internal storage somehow...cleared the data just using the normal application manager in settings, and it's now around 400kb instead. I actually lost nothing, all my contacts stayed the same, my home screens stayed the same, all my apps still work....

i did notice that there are 2 items listed called "HTC Sense"....is that normal?

one has the green letters HTC logo, and the other has a logo that looks like the clock/weather widget?

not sure why there are 2 versions installed?
[HTC Wildfire S] Tsadila:
Yes, got the same one. You must be DISCONNECTED before enabling the usb debbuging. 1) enable debug, THEN 2) connect only with charging, THEN 3) run the command line

QUESTION

Now that it did work and I moved IGO, whatsapp etc.. to SD, can I switch the USB debuging off of must it stay on for as long as the apps are moved to the SD? This little trick saved me 30 MB :D
[HTC Wildfire S] Anthony3h18:
You can turn off the Usb debugging as soon as all the command has finished.
[HTC Wildfire S] vidit.baxi:
Dude, you will not be able to move system app's like facebook and gmail.

You cannot even move whatsApp (According to me)

But after this, you will be able to do that so , It is very useful post.

So 1000 Thanks to writer.
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
The one with the green HTC logo is the program for connection to and reporting phone location to www.htcsense.com

The second is your actual HTC Sense environment and settings. If you delete the data from that one you will be redoing your homescreen setups, etc. :P
[HTC Wildfire S] sohanwins:
This is really awesome guys, I just saved 10MB+ on my internal memory, seems like gold :D

First I tried SDK method on computer and it didn't work like "Anthony3h18" said. I was getting a SDK error. Then I tried "Aef 101" method and it worked like charm. I'm not a very techy person but I was able to do it easily.

Thumbs up to all of you guys ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] flybat:
Ap2sd does not use full partition...

Just a quick question. I installed a custom ROM, partitioned the SD (500 MB EXT3 with 64 MB SWAP) and used the a2sd cachesdreset command, which worked fine, but it only shows 150 MB internal memory instead of 500 MB. Any thoughts on that would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _delice_doluca_:
hello,

first of all, i love follwing the tech and seeing present devices getting better with better softwares.. i own a xoom for 2 months and i really love it.. but -like most of the people here, probably- i believe the software is not fully optimized for the hardware.. in my computers i always used nvidia products, because i believe it did its job very good even when the ati competitors were better on the paper.. so here i am with a tegra 2 SoC and i cant find any game as smooth as ipad games..

now -in addition to my xoom- i was planning to buy a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 (one is for my girlfriend, one is for me but mostly to be used together) but when i was making some research, last night i found nvidia ULP and ipad 2 comparisons and could not believe the results.. ipad 2 was 2-6 times faster/better than the motorola xoom.. imeedieatly i downloaded the same tests and i ran them too and ended up with same results unfortunately.. and then i downloaded lots of high quality games and every time i ended between 20-25 FPS.. i think it is not satisfying..

i dont believe apple has the alien technology, i think the software makes the difference.. so i asked myself to questions;

"what do i plan to use my tablet for" and

"what is going to happen when iOS5 and ICS comes"???

my expectations from ISC is to bring more optimisation to our devices, i cant say no to new cool feautures but first i want my existing ones to be perfect...

to be honest, i can not answer both questions... i can only answer what i want from a tablet.. and again to be honest i guess i am hungry for performance, even though i do not need it. so in every tests tegra 2 cpu beats a5, and the web pages (the first thing i want my tablet to do professionally) are super faster loading then the ipad2 ... besides i love customizable home screen definition, i love being easy to carry my media from the computer or to the computer with one cable without any software.. and i love being able to connect my hard drive so that i can give up from my laptop once i buy a bluetooth keyboard..

but my second question; what is going to happen when iOS5 and ICS here? will iOS5 catch up with android by beating it in CPU and usefullness tests too or will ICS cacth up with the smoothnes and games performance and the promises they gave?

in my country asus transformer, acer iconia a500, ipad 2 16gb, motorola xoom are same prices and samsung galaxy tab is about 40 dollars more expencive in second hands or abroad products.. so i dont care about the price here.. what i am asking is which one is going to better according to your opinion between all these devices? and which one is going to give me more development and more increase in perfection?

i am so confused and every opinion is wellcomed.. i am planning to use it mostly for web browsing as a laptop replecement, gaming, photo and video making/editing/storing and -if possible- using engineering programs like the icircuit in ipad or the autocad in galaxy s (i have it on my galaxy s but i could not run it in tablet)..

so please share:)) thanks..
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshndroid:
okay...

as you are FULLY aware... we are talking apples and oranges here

1. iOS is for people who want something out of the box.. not worried about setting much up and have a billion games... for now atleast (something my grandma would like to be honest)

2. Android OS is far superior with whats under the hood and the customizations and endless tweeking...

my simple answer is... do you want something the same as every other...er... individual (*snickers* - as the ad's would have you believe).. or something that is truly your OWN device

i bet 9 out of 10 people in the xoom forum has something that is entirely unique to the next... i love this aspect... i like having something a little different.. i like to tweek untill i break it or have the best device out there.. 3/4 of the time if there is an app for the iOS there is a better app for android.. for example.. there is only crap remote mouse apps for iOS and yet i have unified remote full for android a masterpiece and i can control nearly every aspect of my computer via a remote with my android devices (yes there is splashtop HD for iOS and android but this is not always a viable solution and trust me i have both)... this is just one example as i cbf putting down the many apps i have that are better (foto tile slideshow - the live wallpaper is another AWESOME app that comes to mind)

last and not least... lets remember software for both devices are going crazy.. however now the tables have turned with android leading the way and iOS playing catch up and ice cream is going to be one hell of an update to which im pretty sure xoom will be compatible =]

i know i may have not 100% been to topic but had to express something (you did say all views were welcome lol)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
I agree with the above poster...and will add that no matter what we wish, we will never have the very best, fastest,most bleeding-edge device because once we buy, there will always be something newer, faster, better, etc. IOS gives you what it wants you to have. Android lets you have (or create) what you want.

If you are rooted, with Tiamat Hammerhead Rom and the Tachi oc gpu kernel, and a launcher like ADW Ex, could the Xoom be any smoother?

It does make a difference how hands-on you want to be.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _delice_doluca_:
thanks for it.. you have made very good points..

i guess i am trying to look at it as computers.. when i had my desktop it was not a big deal when one of the parts was getting old/slower becuase i was able to change only that one without spending big money... but once that world (both hardware and games) got larger it got harder to follow and find the best one.. so i felt like i was lost between nvidia and ati products.. then i switched to laptops when i became more mobile in daily life and when laptops offered more graphic power.. and i always thought GPU first and the ram 2nd, and the HDD 3rd.. CPU was ok to wait.. because CPU tech is already a lot higher than todays daily process needings..

so with the same feeling i have the same reflex to go for the better GPU one.. i feel like the weaker GPU one is going to get old faster/earlier.. this scares me..

and there is also the untidyness in the android world.. there are hundreds of phones with different specs and only a few of them has the full control of every feauture android can give you.. so when you buy a cheap android phone you are not only lacking some hardware, but also being some short on the software too.. they solved this mostly by making the tegra 2 the center of the tablets and i believe ICS will bring even more tidyness to the world just like apple world.. but i still have my suspicious with ICS, because i have read an opinion here in xda, he says ; ICS is a big development for 2.3 devices not for the 3.x devices.. but i want to believe better drivers will come and help us benefit from our hardware better.. nvidia has done that before when the game crysis was out, they increased the overall performance by %10 for every 8xxx card with a new firmware..

besides i made some research and some experiments; apperiantly this ULP is first defining the need of the FPS and then setting it as a limit to keep the power comsumption low.. so even though it can go faster or produce more FPS it stays in the limit of 28 especially in the desktop while ipad can go with 60 FPS.. i guess this is excatly what makes me jealous.. because i feel like my tablet does not have power to do that...

so basicly, i do not like apple anymore after they sue everyone they see as a thread... but i also believe the complains i made (the belief of the GPU being much more worse than the ipad 2 GPU) scares me.. i put my faith on the new software before, to nokia.. and every time they have given a new software to their "smartphones" they ruined it even more.. so far, in android, everything is just going good.. every new version came with better optimizations and i want to believe it is going to be like this in the future..

i guess my opinions and fears are mostly emotional and coming from my unfortunate experiences.. but i get attached to every device of mine and i want them to be good enough and last long enough .. so i do not want to feel like i am buying something to be old so quick under the shadow of new coming kal-el and already existing apple ipad 2..
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer4203:
Buy a xoom and root it! You have the use of SD card, flash drives, and USB hdd's. My wife looked at the options and realized she takes photos and needs access to her camera and to her hdd she uses to store those photos. Not one other tablet can do what the xoom can do! Sure it has some flaws, but at the same time it has less of those flaws than any tablet I have tested so far. My Logitech wireless mouse works, and every other device I have at my house. One cable to do it all, not several diff things like the tab 10.1. You want a custom PC, then here it is!
