[HTC Sensation] NoSubstitute:
Saxed a question from the closed thread to half-answer my own questions

So using a Sensation I should only ever have a FAT32-partition on my mSD.

That means I must use an app like Apps2SD (is there any better?) and move apps to SD, becuse the internal memory will quickly run out when installing even a few apps and games.

I'd used the internal function of moving apps to sd, not Apps2SD, so I figured I'd restore them to internal memory and let Apps2SD do its magic instead. Turns out I can't do it! Not enough internal memory to restore all apps to memory before moving it to SD! Guess it's a built-in safety , since it tells me there is actually 100-something MBs free still.

I'm confused, since others recommend partitioning, but when I read about it, it does sound quite advanced (here, for example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1310309).

Is it just a waste of time, effort and risky to use partitions on a Sensation?

I haven't yet made the switch to 4EXT Recovery / TOUCHCOVERY, but was recommended to and don't want to make unnecessary mistakes with my new 32GB mSD. Plan to install Touchcovery before I install an ICS rom in the near future.

madmaxx , I have a sincere Request to you..

please add an option to Disable md5 check before restoring ROM... my backups are safe and I really hate the screen waiting for md5 checks ... I take resposibility of my device if it bricks...

please add that in next update...
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
I have had a backup get corrupted in the past, no idea why, and no idea how you can guarantee any data will never get corrupted
[HTC Sensation] orld:
I prefer to have two partitions on my SD card, I use Link2SD.

Back up and recovery become painless.
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Ich you think you will have that many big apps that internal storage will be too small one day and you are planning to use a rom / script that supports that, then create 1 sd-ext partition with 1-2gb. On your 32the sdcard you might not miss the space..

During the last couple of days I've had seemingly random reboots. How could I find the reason for this?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Try switching kernels.

New 0.2.6 is HERE

:)
[HTC Sensation] apex84:
thanks for the answer but I'm running faux's AOSP kernel for CM7. Also the reboots didn't start after flashing a new kernel, I've been running 0.2.5b2 since Nov 20 (updated to 0.2.5b3 today - still reboots) but the reboots started sometime during the weekend.
[HTC Sensation] apex84:
ok I think Viber is the culprit. So no ideas on how I can find out if it really is Viber?
[HTC Sensation] crisdu13:
I have the same problem. I tried the stock rom, S-on... and I still have this problem...
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Try to look with ES file explorer through your phone storage for /proc/last.kmsg. It should hold clues as to your last unexpected reboot.
[HTC Sensation] apex84:
There's no such file.
[HTC Sensation] Phantogenic:
I couldn't view it in ES, I use Root Explorer.

It's in the system folder>proc> then open last.ksmg as a text file.
[HTC Sensation] apex84:
Did you install any apps after you restored to stock ROM? Was wifi enabled or were you on 3G at the time? What ROM, radio, and RIL do you use (before restoring stock ROM)?

I also used Root Explorer but there is no last.kmsg file. I've also searched for last.kmsg with Root Explorer.
[HTC Sensation] W1LDC4TZ:
Hey

I've actually had the same issue! So I think it started with the OTA HTC update that went through sometime last week. Since then I've noticed my phone just randomly restarts by itself all the time (like 3-5x in a day). Ive also noticed that the phone is getting very laggy especially while using certain apps like facebook or Messages and then sometimes I think it just restarts out of low memory resources. never had this problem before the OTA update! Glad to know that I'm not the only one.

Now if we can just figure out how to go back to the good 'ol days....
[HTC Sensation] apex84:
I've been running CM 7 since mid September though. So in my case it's some other cause.

I'm thinking it has something to do with networks. Because the majority of the crashes occur when I'm away from home/not stationary. I haven't been able to catch a crash with logcat since it almost never crashes (2 in total) while I'm at my computer. So now whenever I'm at the computer it is connected via USB and logcat is running.

Also the crashes

very

rarely (once or twice maybe) occur while I'm using the phone. Most of the time it crashes or has already crashed when I press the power button to wake the phone.
[HTC Sensation] W1LDC4TZ:
yeah. not sure.. id agree with everything youre saying about my crashes as well. Except i am running stock, no root. So, we'll see.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
It may not be there unless there was an unexpected system crash/reboot. I have had my phone "hang" for some time until I gave it the three finger salute, but it didn't actually crash as such.

viperMOD

You should probably look into viperMOD. You can undervolt most AOSP kernels to save some battery but sacrifice a little performance. I actively use this mod and I must say it does save a tremendous amount of battery. :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
I mean, it all depends on how much you use your phone, and what you use it for. I keep my 3g on all day long, and using MikG I can easily go 2 days without charging. Before gingerbread, I was using Myn's 2.2, and I could easily go 3 days without charging.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
My setup lasts all day without needing to recharge. And I don't have to turn off my data either. Flash various ROM/kernel combos, calibrate your battery, modify how often your widgets and services update, adjust display brightness, don't let erroneous apps run in the background, etc. Doing that to make sure your phone is setup properly has the single biggest impact on your battery life.

After you do that then you can start fine tuning with things like turning off your data/GPS service, using vipermod, undervolting, etc. in order to get even more life from your battery.

1) Download titanium backup pro

2) Freeze the stock messaging app

3) Reboot the phone and the stock messaging app will disappear from the phone

4) Download a 3rd party SMS app (I use GO SMS)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rezn:
I got the EVO 3D on release day. The 3D phone is solid, not going to sit here and bash it, but this phone is far better IMHO.

With my EVO 3D in hand I carefully weighed in the pros and cons of both phones and realized that the Galaxy was superior overall to the EVO 3D. I even took into consideration the charging port locations (which sucks on the EVO with the cord coming off the side of the phone). I even convinced the wife to jump ship with me and get this over our EVO 3Ds. She even likes it better, and she doesnt even know what an .apk is.

I rooted both phones, installed mine with Stong Steves, because I like blue and Calkulins on her phone because I have used Calkulin ROMs for over 5 years.

I would think more devs would be on this phone over the EVO 3D. Is it because this is Samsung and not HTC?? Did I overlook something that the other 3D Devs wouldnt want this phone over the 3D? Just curious to see what everyone else thought.

I am Waiting for HTC

I am waiting for HTC to come out with a phone comparable to this one, even little bit less in specs will be okay and I will be done with Samsung...Samsung gives Great Hardware, but ZERO Support...HTC is way better regarding support and update...This phone has been out for long enough and neither sprint nor samsung knows how to resolve the issues...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] asbjörn:
I wondered the same thing after I switched my gf and I's EVO 3Ds to this phone. I would have to say its because its not an HTC. Their phones get the most attention.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
The charging port on the bottom of this phone is about the only thing I really dislike about it (physically). Actually using the phone while its plugged in makes it way to easy to stress the port.

With the port on the side, I don't have to worry about resting the phone on my body while I'm reading with the kindle app, or doing anything else in portrait mode for that matter!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
I think some folks used up their free upgrade for the year on the 3vo, I almost made that mistake. I waited for the ET4G, some didn't exactly, so not everyone has the means to just swap phones like that nor want to. At least that is my theory, that there are plenty of capable dev's that when the "next big phone" drops to Sprint, it should create conditions like the OG Evo. At least that is what I tell myself haha

Why do you need to upgrade, if your concern is warranty?

Its important to have the original CID & Simlock and firmware for warranty - i myself didn´t find the original vodafone firmware, so i flashed 1.34 wwe restored simlock, cid, s-on and original recovery and they didn´t even recognize that the phone was rooted (or they just didn´t care) ...

the procedure was like this: i took my phone to the carrier, told them what was broken (it was a hw problem) they had a quick look at it and then told me that i have to wait for 2 weeks... i got my phone back with a new vodafone firmware ;) ...had to re-root again
[Acer Iconia A500] Animal_UK:
I've had a search through the forums and various websites but with no luck to a simple question (well, I think it is !)

I'm a A500 and android new user for a total of 2 days and moved over from my ipad1 as I use skype a lot and couldn't justify the cost of a new ipad just for a camera. Anyway - onto my question.

I've already rooted the tablet but am looking at also using a custom ROM to play around a little to see what they are like etc. Can I go straight from Taboonay V2.0 to 2.2 update or do I have to flash V2.1 between ?

Will I lose all my apps and settings when I put the custom ROM on or can I back everything up, flash 2.0, then 2.2 and then restore apps & settings ?

One last question - Is it possible to put 'folders' on the home screen on the A500 ? I like one screen where I can click on a folder into games for example and then another folder inside with racing before clicking on a racing game. I really like a home screen with minimal icons on (I realise it'll take me some time to get away from the iOs but I'm the same on my PC also.)
[Acer Iconia A500] Animal_UK:
I've just downloaded v2.1 FULL so will put that on and then 2.2 (is it the same process for 2.2 apart from the wipe/format option)

Any answers to the other questions would be appreciated though.

Cheers
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Was just about to post and tell you to do exactly that. You shouldn't need to wipe in between versions, but I ALWAYS do a full wipe and format on every install.

As to the folders question. There is no option natively to do so on HC, but I have seen some pretty creative apps on the market, so have a look there. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
i use folder organizer for my folders and desktop visualizer for the home screen shortcuts to each folder. Grab yourself a nice icon pack from one of the many threads on icons here and you're all set. Let me know if you need help to sort it out.

A simple way : unlock via HTCdev.

But be aware that htcdev method gets your phone info and that it is a single-way method. You have no chance locking the phone again so that htc will never see you unlocked your phone. They will definitely know it. So, practically, you will lose your warranty.

It can be done via fastboot. Follow instructions on the website www.htcdev.com

You have a grand total of 13 posts including this one, this is the first one in which you have linked to a github account or indicated that you had one. (I don't care about your post count, other than it's low enough for me to read each of them to find no signs of a github link.)

You do not have a github link in your signature.

Your profile page at http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=4371253 has no links to any website indicating you have a github account.

Your XDA username does not match the username on github.

Per the GPL:

Your binaries in the first post were not accompanied by source code

I consider a link to github to be a sufficient written offer - had you included this link in your first post, everything would be OK.

Having source lying around somewhere on the Internet on an account with a different username (even if similar) without a link to said source from the place you are distributing binaries from does not constitute a written offer for source.

Doesn't apply unless redistributing a binary you received. (Initramfs repacks fall into this category.)

XDA has had a LOT of problems with developers violating the GPL (Basically, every Android forum that existed at a certain point in 2011 has GPL reminders due to a particular incident, but unfortunately the mods have been lax about putting said reminders in new forums.), so please forgive me if I assumed the worst since you (apparently accidentally) didn't comply with the license.
