Hi i was a proudly propietary of HD2 (without any doubt the best device i ever had on my hands). The thing is the development of devices is derectly proportional with the amount of people have this one...Another way WP7 came to HD2 more than two years after first sale...So be patient...

here are a list of all the folders on my arc mycrosd, and what (i think) they are for :

i was wondering, will it couse problem in the future if i simply delete the empty folders (i highlited them bold and red) from my microsd ? :confused:

and what about the folders that i highlited bold and blue, will it couse problem in the future if i delete them too ? :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc General] taaviu:
Those folders are created by apps and android system.

And you can easly delete those empti folders.

If some apps or android itself needs some folder after deleting...they automaticly makes new folders.

Cheers

[Xperia Arc General] squalldua:
thx, i just wanna make sure it's ok to delete them :)
[Xperia Arc General] brocnical:
I really wish Android developers would get their act together and stop spraying junk all over my SD card. It makes it really confusing to navigate. Google should perhaps help here by making it more obvious where devs are supposed to put their apps and data by giving the directories better names.
[Xperia Arc General] squalldua:
what about these "not empty" folders :

is it okay to delete them too ?
[Xperia Arc General] taaviu:
Yes you cann delete all, but dont touch Lost.dir and media.
[Xperia Arc General] squalldua:
what about this folder ?

is this the files that android needs to learn my dictionary ?
[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:
Simply copy the contents of your SD to your computer, which everyone should do by way of a backup anyway, delete everything you don't have a clue what it's for and keep pictures, media etc, wipe the card and put it back in the phone, any needed folders will be recreated by any programs that need them as and when you open whatever app. Obviously if you have scripts that run at boot put them back on before putting the card back in the phone.

Job done.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Spamm00r:
Hi,

I followed several guides on connecting my Galaxy Ace with an Openvpn Server.

I finally managed to connect to a Openvpn server using Certificates with the latest Cyanogen Mod for the Galaxy Ace.

For the Connection I used OpenVPN Settings App from the Market.

The thing is that the connection is established and I see in the config, that VPN is connected. It displays the message:" Connected to 134.x.x.x as 192.168.200.100"

But unfortunately nothing is tunneled over this VPN connection. If I for example check my external IP on the Galaxy device, it still shows me my G3 Provider IP. But I expect to see the IP of my Home Internet Provider. Furthermore no connections to devices on the local Network of the VPN Server can be made.

That means, that despite the VPN Dialog showing me that I am connected to the Open VPN server, no connection is tunneled over that device.

The Guides I used to setup the VPN Connection are from here:

freetz.org/wiki/packages/openvpn

and

riseup.net/en/openvpn-android

If I connect with the same settings from an windows PC to the Server, The connection is established and tunneling just fine.

Anyone knows what I am doing wrong?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] agentx3r:
Most of the apps you linked require android honeycomb (3.0+) to run, although sketchbook mobile will scale to the larger screen of the NT. Hopefully they'll manage to get ICS running on the NT and we'll be able to use all the tablet-oriented apps in the near future.
[Nexus S General] techguy378:
I noticed that even though the ICS source code is now available Google only has Android 2.3.7 drivers for the Nexus S 4G's internal hardware (CDMA/WiMAX, Orientation Sensor, etc) available currently. Is it possible to compile a working version of ICS using the Android 2.3.7 drivers for the Nexus S 4G? Also, if I follow Google's compile instructions to the letter is there an easy way to backup my current stock ROM? Google's official stock ROM's for the Nexus S 4G phone has a script called "install-recovery.sh" that runs on boot removing Clockwork. Am I correct in assuming that ICS would do this if I compiled it myself per Google's instructions and flashed it to my phone?

[Nexus S General] t1n0m3n:
OP, I apologize for the others lack of decorum on this site. I am afraid that I am not much help, but I have a couple of suggestions:

As far as the backup, you can make a nandroid and once you are done playing around you can reboot into the boot loader and use the fastboot to reload the recovery onto the phone. From there you can re-install the nandroid backup. Keep in mind that you might want to copy the backup off of the SD card just in case you need to lock/unlock the phone. (This erases the sd card.)

If i deodex old SystemUI.apk and push i to the new build will it work? Thanks, if so could anyone deodex this app? I cannot find something that just deodexes one app. :)

Hi Everyone!

Great Work everyone. Keeping this forum alive helps a lot of novices like me. :D

I was looking for info about removing unwanted apps from the ".zip" file used for ROM installation.

I found this as an alternative, using root+Titanium to uninstall the unwanted apps.

My question:

" By removing the specific .apk and odex files from system/app folder will I be able to get rid of this unwanted applications? Also will this affect the performance of OS by anyway? Is it possible that phone might be bricked ? (not recoverable even using KDZ or re-flashing) "

I'm using a LG P500 with mik_OS [stable:6.5.8,testing:6.6.1] CyanogenMod 7.1.0 (Android 2.3.7) ROM on my mobile.

P.S: mik_OS ROM is clean and thin, but still this question/possibility kept buzzing me.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ebe_robert:

You delete an odex - the app wont work

You delete apk - app gone forever and odex file does nothing

I would say the apps are better on iOS. More of them, and better quality.

I had that great periodic table app, not on Android. Also there many more star map apps on iOS. Google Sky sux.

Android is very popular, maybe not as much as Apple devices but for how popular Android is I am surprised that more of the polished apps haven't been ported.

The thing I DON'T miss is iTunes. God i hate that app and the fact that you MUST use it to do anything on iOS.

Hardware - android ++++++

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pjm77:
I'm an android user but have been playing with several friends' iphones. I was always impressed with how polished the iOS in terms of smoothness and design. The sheer number of apps and how good some of them were also made me jealous. But in the end I can't imagine living a day-to-day life with a device so limited by one man's vision. These things are to be used the way somebody wants me to use them (including the way I grip the phone ;P). I'm aware that it really depends on personal preference but I'm a power user and being told how to use my device is simply an insult to me (and a painful limitation of course). On android I feel free.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vprabu:
Well, I partly agree. To me softwares / apps are still 3rd party stuff and they still do a good job when they support both the platforms. However the developers who are not familiar with UI/UX and when they create apps only on android, the UI is a bit lousy.

I miss the way Music Player in iOS creating playlist. I find it more convenient as I always like to create playlists each day going out.

Coming from WinMo6.1 > iPhone 3GS, 4 and 4S.

Its all the small things that I'm missing in iOS.

1) Screen does not turn on when a new message arrives.

2) When arriving to a input field, the keyboard does not automatically show up

3) Spotlight on iOS was what I used to search for keywords in Notes

4) The built in Reader functionality in iOS 5 Safari is very useful

5) Much smoother home screen scrolling (contrary to what most people reported here - I've disabled all power saving features but it sometimes lag with just 2 screens and a few widgets. Turning on the device from sleep can take a split second longer)

6) Native mail app for non-gmail services

7) Cleaner, simpler interfaces for Calendar, contacts, mail etc. (prolly need to spend more time looking for 3rd party alternatives in android market)

I'm from the Evo 4G section of xda and just bought an Epic 4G from a friend to play around with. I've rooted and fully customized my Evo 4G and my uncle's Samsung Infuse. So I am not new to the rooting side of these phones. However, I just can't seem to get this to work no matter how hard I try.

Ok so I have done Google searches and sifted through the various "fixes" here on xda....I cannot, no matter what I do, get my epic 4g to be recognized on my Windows 7 64 bit.

I've downloaded and installed about 3 or 4 different USB driver files. I've gone through 2 different cables. I've uninstalled and even updated drivers via Windows. And I've installed and updated Kies. I bought the phone from a friend of mine who had done a full system restore before he gave it to me. So if there were any system issues they should be gone. When I plug in one of the cables the phone shows that the USB cable is connected and I have USB debugging on. But my computer shows "Uknown Device." Does anyone have any suggestions for me please?

I've included screenshots of what my computer shows me. Any help, or reference literature that I may have overlooked, that you guys can provide would be extremely helpful.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmuru:
There's a few reasons this could be happening. You may want to try different USB ports on your computer or connecting through a USB hub. Also, make sure you're using the official Samsung drivers (you can search for them on XDA).

Otherwise, go to the dialer on the phone and punch in ##8778# and under USB make sure PDA is checked instead of modem. Hope that helps.

then extract the files it gives you

For those having trouble getting the drivers installed in Win7(x64/x86).

A workaround could be to use WUBI (Ubuntu's windows based installer that adds an option to boot to Ubuntu, while allowing it [Ubuntu] to be uninstalled from windows like a "normal" program).

Install WUBI, boot to Ubuntu, problem solved!

If the point of installing the drivers it to get Odin working...

The WUBI workaround would still work, you would just replace Odin with Heimdall (which is 100x better/more stable than Odin anyway).

I realise this is a lot to do for resolving a driver install problem, but... Heimdall pwns Odin anyway.
