Q1= xtc clip is a hardware or software?

Q2= can u give tutorial to get s-off?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
this is the XTC Clip

XTC Clip

official Usagae is here

XTC Manual

gdavies08 has successfully s-off and rooted his Salsa.

i am in the middle of doing this, getting s-off is the hard part.

check out this thread!!! for all the info.

as for tutorial for getting s-off and root, please give us time to get it done and written out for everyone to see!
[HTC Salsa] gdavies08:
I will put together a guide some point over the next few days, will be hard to show exactly how to s-off as mine is already done, hopefully the guide i put together will help out anyone using the xtc clip though,

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
Hey,

I have decided to give CyanogenMod a go for the first time.

I've been rooted for some time now - running a stock Gingerbread 2.3.4 rooted.

I've heard so many good things about CyanogenMod and I have had an itch for a bit of a change, that I decided now is a good time to give it a try.

I was hoping you guys might be able to help me clarify a few things first though.

I have Link2SD installed and setup. I have linked a couple of apps using and I was wondering if anyone knows how it works with Titanium Backup?

What I was hoping to be able to do was:

1)
Make a back up of some of my apps + their data using Titanium Backup - Some of these apps have been moved using Link2SD

2)
Install ClockworkMod Recovery and make a full nandroid backup.

3)
Make a backup of all the contents on my SD card - from the fat32 partition primarily.

4)
Install CyanongenMod using ROM Manager

5)
Redo the ext2 partition on my SD card and reinstall Link2SD once CyanogenMod has been installed

6)
Reinstall Titanium Backup and restore all the apps I backed up.

I was hoping that by doing the above I could hang onto all the custom settings I have in some of the apps.

For the apps that have been linked using Link2SD, will Titanium backup restore them properly as long as that ext2 partition on the SD card is there?? Or am I going to run into issues?

I have done some searching on these forums but there seems to be no clear cut answer.

Any help or advice would greatly be appreciated!

Thank you
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
You'll be fine - just make a full Titanium backup and a nandroid (just in case).

Do a full wipe, install CM with gapps, install your apps2sd, then restore your Titanium backup...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Titanium Backup will just restore the apps to the /data partition (or the ext if you have app2sdext enabled), but since link2sd is setting up individual symlinks for each app, those probably won't be carried over when you restore with Titanium Backup. You will have to redo those apps. But this may be time to look into a full app2sdext option. It is much simpler than link2sd and there aren't any noticeable performance hits (unless you do data2sd).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Good catch bass - I missed the Link2SD detail! :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
@danger-rat @bassmadrigal

Thank you guys for giving me some advice.. it is much appreciated!

So the app2sdext option can be done using dark tremor?

I was looking at dark tremor previously when I was trying to decide what method to use to relink apps.

Do you guys know of a good tutorial to go about setting it up? Is it done pre install of Cyanogen? Or post install?

My other concern about moving apps to the SD card using methods like link2sd and dark tremor is recently I had a situation where my ext2 partitions filesystem actually became corrupted. I ended up having to a 'fsck' on it to repair it ( I am pretty sure I got lucky with that ). Using the app2sdext do I still have the options to decide what I move to my SD card?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
You can use Darktremor or S2E as the popular methods. S2E is a bit more intuitive (its an app in the market, with a front end GUI).

Install after you've installed CM.

As far as corrupt cards, just make sure you backup from time to time. Titanium or nandroid should do the trick. The advantage of having an ext partition is that once you have the partition, you can reformat it without losing your regular SD partition...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
i would also recommend S2E, recently went from dt to

s2e and its working great.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
I remember seeing you mention s2e once before! At the time though I couldn't use it since I wasn't running CyanogenMod

That sounds like a good plan.

What do you think of this

1)
Do a Titanium Backup of my apps+their data
(including ones that have been moved using link2sd)

2)
When I install CyanogenMod, setup and install s2e

3)
Install Titanium Backup and start recovering my apps.
Since Titanium Backup should restore apps linked via
link2sd back to the default /data directory, I should just
be able to relink them using the s2e method?

I was wondering something else to actually.

@danger-rat you have mentioned in the past that you do not like the most recent version of the ClockworkMod recovery due to stability and reliability issues (I have seen a few other people say this as well). If this is still the case, can you recommend a version to install? From Rom Manager itself, can you choose a different version of ClockworkMod recovery to install?

Sorry for all the questions!

EDIT ------------------------------------------------

Just after I posted this I noticed there is an option in Rom Manager "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" - It looks like this option will allow me to install older version of ClockworkMod?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I use CWM 2.5.1.4 and install via ROM Manager, just as you suggested...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
Thank you sir for suggesting a version and confirming I can do it via ROM manager.

Hopefully I can try this in the next couple days. Will report back success/epic failures!

Thank you baseballfanz as well!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Clown:
Why posting a question in general section???

Thread moved.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
hey sorry I wanted to ask one more question...

Since I plan on implementing s2e I will have to reformat my ext2 partition to ext3 or 4 (I think it said ext4..)

My question is, what should I do with my fat32 partition?

After I backup all the data on it, should I reformat it as well? Then after I get CyanogenMod installed, move back only what is important - Titanium backup directory for example? Or copy everything that was on it. There will probably be a lot of useless/old files on there that aren't really useful.

EDIT ---------------------

Sorry Mr.Clown for posting in wrong section.. I'll post correctly next time!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
i went from dt a2sd to s2e with no need to redo anything on my sd card. i had ext4 already.

if you use amon ra you can change ext 2 to ext 3 or ext 4.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Sorry, I was gone all day and away from a computer. Glad others chimed in. But to start, S2E and DarkTremor's a2sd both are not selective on which apps are installed to the sdcard. It is an all or nothing approach. That is the difference between app2sdext and link2sd. With S2E, you just install it and open the app. Select the checkboxes to move apps to the sdcard and then I recommend moving the dalvik cache as well (as it takes a lot of space). Reboot, and any apps you install/restore will be automagically put on the sdext partition.

And to answer your last question, if you already have an ext partition on your card, there is no reason to change it. It may say ext 3 or 4 is needed, but I am running ext2 on mine without any issues (I have been too lazy to take the time to change it). Just make sure the ext partition is wiped (which can be done in recovery under Mounts and Storage). The fat32 can be wiped, but it isn't necessary. Although, if it has been awhile, you may want to consider it, just to get rid of some of the stupid folders that devs can't figure out how to keep them out of the root of the card.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
@bassmadrigal

thanks for the response man!

All or nothing eh? I will give it a try and hope for the best! At least then I will have more flexibility in the amount of apps that I can have!

I think I will just reformat the entire card since it has been a while. There is so much stuff on the card now I don't really know what is what anymore. I will keep a back up of it though juuuust in case.

I think the ext2 partition might have some files left over from link2sd so I think I might wipe it out as well and start again.

I have since removed all the apps I moved using link2sd just to calm my nerves a little bit (ha!).

I am currently trying to purchase titanium backup but it looks like maybe the market is having issues. It is stuck on "Authorizing purchase..." seems like a few people have had this.

In the mean time I will install the recovery image and do a nandroid backup!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Just as an FYI, if you redo your partitions (ie repartitioning your sdcard through the recovery), that will erase and format both partitions. I think by default, clockworkmod will do an ext2 partition, whereas Amon_RA gives you the option between ext3 and ext4. One thing to keep in mind, in the past, with ClockworkMod v3.x, it had been known to cause issues with partitioning cards. I don't know if that has been fixed in the v5.x, but I know it doesn't exist in v2.x and it also works properly in Amon_RA.

All or nothing really isn't a bad approach. I have a class 4 32GB Sandisk, and I don't seem to have any speed problems. Then, with some of the apps that have a large amount of data, I will move those individually with Titanium Backup. Two big ones are Google Earth (16MB of frickin data), and Firefox (I don't remember how much, but it is still a large amount). But I had to move those because I was running out of room in my internal memory (I have a lot of apps installed).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
I was actually just about to update this thread!

I have been busy since my last post!

I have since installed clockworkmod recovery, done my backups, installed cyanogenmod, and am just in the process of going through it.

I FINALLY got titanium backup pro key to install.. I think there must have been something wrong between google and the titanium backup app, but after like 2 hours of trying it finally went through!

I think I am okay with the "All or nothing approach" as well. I know now that I need to start to take backups WAY more serious! So if I ever run into a situation where my ext partition dies, I won't be devastated!

I think what I will end up doing is reformatting it all tomorrow at work. I will turn the phone off, remove SD card, format using a Linux system at work, place card back in and go from there.

To restore my ROM Manager backup and my Titanium Backups I just have to copy those folders back to the SD card (after the format) from the backup I made of the SD card prior to formatting it (sorry if I am sounding repetitive, I can't tell if what I am saying will make sense to anyone other then myself lol + plus I am EXHAUSTED!)

That's awesome though its working for you. I have a class 10 8 gig kingston SDcard and so far its been great!

So when I setup s2e (I have it installed, but not configured!) I should select the check boxes "Applications, Private apps, and Dalvic Cache"?

You mentioned that you use Titanium Backup to move certain apps like Google Earth... I was just wondering in what direction you were moving them? From the phone to the SDcard, or from the SDcard to the phone? Sorry for probably another really stupid question I just wanted to make sure I was following you correctly!

Thank you again for all your help though. Things have gone smoothly so far :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
In S2E move applications, private apps, dalvik cache and optional too download cache.

As for moving data to sd card individually by Titanium, you are moving the data from internal memory to sd card
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Yes, all you need to do is copy those folders back, but if you restore any of your nandroid backups, you will reset everything in your system back to the time before you installed S2E. So, I would only do that as a last resort. But, Titanium Backup does not have that limitation. It is just restoring the data to whatever the system is setup to do.

Once you do get everything up and running properly, it would be beneficial to do a nandroid. But as far as a lot of backups, you can set TB to run on a schedule to back up your phone every so often while you are asleep. And then, I just make sure I do a nandroid before I flash ANYTHING.

And ditto for what baseballfanz said. I never bothered with the download cache, as that is stored on a different partition within the phone (the /cache partition). Unless you resize all your partitions, it is probably pointless to move it. And yes, I am moving the data (ie the saved games/settings etc) for the app to the sdext partition with Titanium Backup, but you probably won't need to do this for a while (I have 213 user apps installed according to TB).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
@bassmadrigal and @baseballfanz

Thanks guys for all your advice!

Sorry for the million's of question, I'm learning a lot from you guys though!

So.. Cheers!

Nandroid is similar to Acronis (imaging software) for PC so I definitely follow you when you say that restoring an Nandroid backup will erase anything I have done since doing that particular backup.

Good to know that moving those folders back onto the SDcard is all I have to do so now reformatting the card isn't as scary! Oh and I have to make sure I grab the Titanium Backup License file - Sorry I just read this is the old method!

I will definitely take your advice and produce a Nandroid backup once everything is up and running just in case! I have been thinking about it and I figured I could automate a backup of the Titanium Backup folder and the clockworkmod folder by using the rSync app. I could just copy everything to my NAS during the night, which would ensure I have two physical copies just incase my SD card decides to dead.

thanks for clarifying the direction of the data being moved using titanium backup. I figured it was that but wanted to be sure. I still have a lot of learning to do with that app to get fully familiar with it!

I'll be setting up my two new partition today and hopefully I can start restoring apps later this afternoon. Will report back my status.

Thanks again for the help!

cheers
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
FYI, when you do a nandroid backup, the phone can't be running CyanogenMod. It requires you to do it from recovery. I only do nandroid backups when I am getting ready to flash something. Otherwise, I never bother. I don't even schedule the automated backup through Titanium Backup anymore. But that is all you would really need to consistently worry about. And Titanium Backup works inside Android/CyanogenMod, so there is no need to reboot the phone to get a backup completed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
Perhaps just doing a Titanium Backup is enough :)

Anyway, have everything setup and I have restored one or two of my apps that I backed up using TB.

I have two problems though.

1)

When I restore my apps from Titanium Backup, they aren't showing the app drawer.. should they?

2)

Also, I enabled s2e and I believe it's working. Major downside though, Widgets aren't loading on phone boot. With link2sd I was still able to load widgets even if I had moved the apps to the sdcard. I am assuming I must have done something wrong for this behavior to be showing up.. I'm hoping to track down an answer soon.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
You'll have to set widgets again but after that it should show on boot.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
okay I don't know what happened, but it looks like it is working now.

I had restored simi clock and at first it didn't work properly.

I removed it and restored it again. I then added the widget back, and now this time when I reboot the widget loads properly.

Same goes for Agenda Widget. Restored it, rebooted the phone immediately, added the Widget back, then rebooted the phone again and the widget loaded properly.

Not sure why on the first restore for simi clock it wasn't working properly.

Oh and Agenda Widget showed up in the app drawer...

Going to try a few others ones to see if they show up.

Perhaps simi clock doesn't have a drawer link since it's a widget...

Thanks baseballfanz though.. your rebooting suggestion seems to have corrected the issue
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
In case you didn't already figure it out, restoring the apps should put them back into the app drawer. Hopefully that one was just because it was a widget only. And I've never had widgets properly restore using Titanium Backup, so I do what baseballfanz suggested... removing them and readding them. Although, I've never needed to reboot to have them work (the exception to that rule is for SMS messages and call logs -- I have always had to reboot after restoring those with TB).

If, after a reboot, you are having any issues with widgets not loading, verify that they weren't moved to the sdcard using the Froyo method (in Settings -> Applications). That method doesn't allow you to have widgets.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourne-nolonger:
@bassmadrigal

Thanks for the reply.

I was able to get it working. I think I jumped the gun a little...

For the app drawer, the first apps I restored don't show in the app drawer because they are Widget applications.

I have since restored ALL my apps and my app drawer repopulated as it should.

As for the widget, yes I had to read them all again, which I figured I would have to do. I am not sure why I had issues in the beginning adding widgets back, but since it has worked flawlessly.

Thank you for suggesting the s2e... it is freakin amazing lol! I have 80+ apps right now and only 80MB of internal memory used :D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:

I have cw recovery, that failed to partition sd card.

I did partition by mini tool partition wizard.

is anyone experiencing any lag with this app, or any issue running this on N1,as i like to stream with tune-in radio app.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
ClockworkMod recovery has been problematic with any version starting with v3 on. I have kept my CWM version at 2.5.1.1 just to prevent having issues with partitioning. But if you already partitioned yours with something else, you should be problem free with it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danner_416:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temasek:
U can further recover more data storage with s2e using TB to move individual apps' data to /sd-ext.

I am now using s2e with selected apps' data moved to /sd-ext using TB. A good example of big fat data is Google Earth which I think eats up more than 16MB of data storage.

With s2e and selective apps' data to /sd-ext, u will have more than sufficient data storage for your needs and also not compromising speed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danner_416:
@temasek, I thought with s2e you have to move all of your apps, or none of your apps to sd-ext ?

or is there a way around it? or is that where TB comes into use, or is it just data

you can be selective with what part of storage it goes to.

thanks for your help
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
With S2E, it is all or none for the apps. dalvik, and/or data (depending on what options you enable).

He most likely has all apps and dalvik moved over using S2E, and then he is selectively moving apps data over using Titanium Backup. This is the same way that I do it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I just tried a clean build with S2E, and a clean build with DT, just to compare the difference. With DT I got about 30mb more space than with S2E. I didn't move any app data with S2E, but I doubt I could recover 30mb...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
That is weird. I wonder what the difference between the two is. Any chance you ran a du -hd 1 on /data to see where the difference was?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
It is up to you if you want to take the time to do it (I can barely find the time to update my phone to the latest version every few weeks). I am just curious what would be taking up more space with S2E.

Ok, it must have been a bad flash. This time there's only just over 1mb of difference...
