U need a rom with data2sd if u want unlimited memory

These kind of rom requires an extra partition on the sd card...So u have to partition the sd card in order to have one fat32 partition (where ur data like music, images, etc are stored) and one EXT4 partition of 1GB for example (all the apps and apps data will be moved automatically in this ext partition)..with this u don't need to move ur apps to the sdcard with the move to sd option.

after partitioning u can flash the rom..for example this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045824

read all the instructions in the thread, and make sure to understand how the data2sd work
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuspnz:
K

Did you already create an ext partition on your sd card for the apps/data2sd?

Backup your SD card data to PC before start.

Boot to ClockworkMod Recovery

Use volume down button to go down to ‘advanced’.

Then press call button

.Select ‘Partition SD Card’.

Select the ext size that you want (128M, 256M, 512M, 1024M, 2048M or 4096M).

Select 0M as the Swap Size.

Copy back your data to SD card.

See if it then works

Is there a way to install data2sd simply on my stock rom.Please help people
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
There is no data2sd rom with sense 3 yet, at least i could not find any.

TouchPaled from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
well mate,

you want to use sense3.... this sense works mostly with HD port from desireHD to desire.

there are different developer's rom presenting this into the development forum:

leedroid HD 3.3.3 r5 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1170633

there is a faq thread - howto - leedroid HD http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1226017

coolexe with http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1250815

those are the most stable rom... i could be wrong, other would correct if i m wrong.

in resume:

- root your device with unrevoked

- s-off your device (unlocked the security on bootloader) alpharev or revolutionnary could do the trick.

alpharev link => http://alpharev.nl/

bootloader resume:

the bootloader prepare you nand device to launch the system. In that purpose it would format 5 partition calles mtd.
mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "misc"
mtd1: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd2: 00280000 00020000 "boot"
mtd3: 04380000 00020000 "system"
mtd4: 04380000 00020000 "cache"
mtd5: 04ac0000 00020000 "userdata"
those modified when flashing a bootloader are system, cache and userdata in order to gain space for userdata (application)

from bootloader stock system = 250mb

cache =40 mb

userdata=147mb

from coolexe or leedroid rom it s advice to flash a bootloader called cm7r2 coz

system=145 mb

cache=5mb

userdata=287mb

those dev have been able to put a complete rom into 145 mb whilst the stock rom needs at lkeast 250mb. you understand that it would be a waste of precious mbyte space to our tiny device.

to do so they used several script to do so (data++, a2sd) it means you MUST have a partition sd card with

first fat32 (primary partition) followed by ext3 or ext4 (primary partition)

data++ uses symlink linux capabilities to point from system's folder to sd card's folder extX partition.

a2sd use linux power to forced installation app's to extX partition onto your sdcard aswell dalvikcache (it is responsible of growing amount of data when your 're looking to you internal available space).

all this have been widely explained into the faq howto thread leedroid

hope this help

Please help people i dont think it is such a big issue.

Any kind of help appreciated
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
hmmm already told that sense3 rom with data2sd doesn t exist.

however you can grab from market an app calles A2SDGUI

https://market.android.com/search?q=a2sdgui&so=1&c=apps

which is able to move things like dalvik to your sdcard , you would safe space internal memeory. works with stock rom from what i ve understood.

(never need or used such apps coz used embeded rom's script)

hope this help

Hello. What class sd card do u have ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapooravi:
How do I know the class? I only know its 8gb sandisk microsd card
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapooravi:
The speed has increased comparitively but I want it more if possible
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kl_arnet:
Class of the card is the number in the circle.

Should be 2,4,6, or 10. This is class - minimal writing speed in mb/s.

If there is no number or 2, you have very slow card and should buy at least class 4.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
If one does not use data2sd/data2ext, class 2 is absolutely enough.

[Defy General] ursoouindio:
By means of hardware integrity, yes it is safe.

But your system may get instable on that Vsel, it is lower than most people have been using. But at this point each device is different and you can try to find yours own limits.

It is ok, you won't be jeopardizing your phone. If you fill that your system is FC more and rebooting by itself then you Vsel is too low for that frequency on your phone.

I'm using Vsel 45 for 1 GHz and it works just fine! Haven't tried any lower yet, but I think there is still room on mine.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] kredlash:
Vaulty will hide them but it doesn't encrypt them. It just changes the file extension so the phone can't read it. But it would take a bit of a guru to look that far into finding your pics and will most likely be sufficient for you.

I personally use it.

You can put a .nomedia file in any folders you don't want scanned by the gallery app, most other apps will skip these folders too, though some have an option to allow you to see them when you want. It won't encrypt them and they'll still be visible to file explorers though.

Hey All !

So i just got my phone back from repair, after i had a problem with it constantly shutting down and turnning off randomly. It was a royal pain in the ass, i had to wait 3 weeks to get the phone back again !!! GRRR !

So now i got my phone back. It turns out the fault was the mainboard, so they changed that one out. The old shutdown problem has been resolved, but now the Phone wont send any SMS's atall ! Everytime i try to send one it just says *Sending* and never gets any further.

The phone is currently running the standard x10 2.3.3 Update. I havent changed a thing neither have i rooted the phone, its litary stock.

Need help!!! After restore to WiFi Stock with nvflash i have different service tag and mac address! Why? Thanks!
[Dell Streak 7] Xpun3414:
What rom are you restoring from? And maybe Im wrong here but, sounds like you got a bad rom to use when you rooted. Your MAC address should never change as its a system/hardware level type of information. Thats hardwired into the NIC. As far as your service tag... Dont know what to tell you, I would think that is also hardwired into the system.

Maybe you can get another stock rom & flash it to that & see what happens.

I have a true stock rom if you'd like me to upload it so you can try that. I say a "true" stock rom..because I have found a few that were not true wifi only stock rom's even though they said it was. Good luck & hope it works out for you.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] emeralds5668:
Ok I have not done anything but root and unlock my infuse.

I am thinking about installing Infused 2.1.0.

I have not backed up anything, but there are apps that I want to keep that have been taken out of the stock.

If I restore missing apps with data, will that keep all of the apps I have? Im just wondering what the difference is between restore missing apps and back up all user apps?

Also, it is my understanding that the ROM extends the battery time. Is this true?

Sorry for being a pesky n00b

Michaela
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bigfau:
When you restore ,just restore apps. Don't restore data. The data might cause a conflict.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mfpearson:
this isn't true - it isn't going to cause any conflicts with "missing apps" that are being freshly installed to your phone on a new ROM (i.e., not replacing another version of that app).

the only thing that you really need to avoid is restoring system data of any kind. that will cause conflicts with your phone, SMS, e-mail, etc. restoring "missing apps" should work just fine, even if you want to restore the data also.

as for battery life - yes, custom ROMs tend to get better battery life than stock froyo does.

good luck, and remember - you can always revert to stock froyo!

i had Jetpackrom+sempahore 1.6 on my phone and just downlaoded CF's tweaks and currently i'm on RFS ,is it safe to convert it into ext4??

I had read some where that ext4 or some other filesystem damages our nand flash :confused: , which one's better if its safe?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
They are all safe.

They all work differently and give different results.

Ext 4 is most common.. The only risk involved, Is flashing without disabling it / converting it back to RFS.

That can cause issues, Whereas Flashing with RFS wont give any troubles.

There was a really useful thread on here a while back explaining in great detail how lagfixes actually work.

I cant seem to find it tho, Perhaps some one else may point you in the right direction,

I think ext4 is better in many aspects....great speed feel the difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elhennig:
If you carefully read the topics here regarding the file systems ext4 and RFS you'll find, that there is no measurable difference in the latest GB ROMs anymore.

However, ext4 is by far the more modern and sophisticated file system and it's completely open source, while RFS is based on rather old fashioned and simple FAT and Samsung keeps the source closed AFAIK.

Best solution would be btrfs, but this is not regarded stable in Linux kernel. IMO the best file system so far is XFS: rock solid, stable and performing rather well even on small files. However reiserfs is much better in this aspect, but it's not further developed.

These are just my thoughts with my experience from many different Linux devices like the Openmoko freerunner for example....
[HTC Sensation] doalittledanse:
I searched and didn't really find anything.

I'm looking for alternatives to the OEM HTC car upgrade kit. A non-universal, powered (or has a usb power input), suction cup mount. Are there any good ones out? It seems like there aren't many mounts in general for sensation and the ones that do don't have a power plug.
[HTC Sensation] Shady Gambino:
If you're going for a suction cup mount, you're either going to put it on your windshield or dashboard, which means you're going to have a cord hanging whether it's a powered mount or non-powered mount with a charger cable attached.

If that's the case, I'd think a "custom" holder is unnecessary (unless you really want it to start into car mode every time you dock it). I'd as soon get a mount that's inexpensive and works well. I've used and reccomended the Arkon Mobile Grip before and people have been happy with it:

[Windows 8 General] NikolaiT:
There won't be ports to say, the Motorola Xoom or the HP TouchPad. Let me explain:

1. In it's current state, Windows 8 doesn't support ARM architecture, although it will later, so I suppose this is only a semi-valid point.

2. and 3. Windows 8 isn't open source, so any ports would be illegal and without source, it's basically impossible.

Please don't fill this subsection with questions concerning if it'll ever come to your tablet/phone/etc., because it won't.

[Windows 8 General] NikolaiT:
Mobile OSes are less work than a full fledged operating system, plus, you need to consider legality.
[Windows 8 General] stevenmu:
While it will support ARM, I'd say it's doubtful that it would be released on a disk that you could just load onto your existing device, it will probably only come preloaded on devices by OEMs.

Traditionally MS haven't been worried about piracy of their mobile OS's. Their mobile OS efforts have mainly been about keeping people in the Windows eco-system, and to a much lesser degree selling licenses for CE to OEMs making embedded devices. In most cases of mobile OS roms being posted, they've just been updated/enhanced roms for existing Windows mobile devices and so haven't really cost sales and have possibly enhanced the ecosystem.

They're generally much much more concerned about piracy of their main OS. It remains to be seen how they will react to people trying port the ARM version of Windows 8, but they could easily react as strongly as they would for a normal x86 windows.
[Windows 8 General] domineus:
That's never stopped developers from porting anything before...

I think at this point the largest hurdle is getting a build from an ARM dump. And drivers...can't forget about drivers.
