does it have the option to remove swap partition? and does it format it when removing?

—————————————————

I'm a 9gagger, if you are one... pm me
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
Quite frankly I thought formatting removed it.. but if it works from 4ext then yes it will be formatting it again
[G2 and Desire Z General] rirozizo:
I just can't believe CWM made an option to partition, and didn't make an option to unpartition

or am i missing something??
[G2 and Desire Z General] MaxWiz:
No repartitioning in cwm. That's one of the reasons I use 4ext now. I don't think 4ext will repartition without formatting whole sd but it give you very clear warnings if it is going to so try and see what it says.

If it is going to need to format whole sd then use an adapter to put sd in a pc and copy everything accross. Copy it all back once you're partitioned/formatted. Easy.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rirozizo:
yeah i know how to backup my sdcard... cuz i tried formatting it several times via windows... i'll try with cwm... cuz it gotta have the option...

[G2 and Desire Z General] bFORTIFIED:
I've heard you can make a live cd of gparted and use that to partion the card. I use gparted on ubuntu and it is simple and easy. It works great for resizing partions. You can erase the swap and then add that to the existing fat32 partion or turn some of it into ext 2,3,4 for app2sd.

A live cd is booted itself not run inside the existing operating system. So you would make the cd then boot from cd

Just make sure your editing the sdcard and not your pc harddrive! There is a pulldown to select the drive you want to work with. The size will be the bigest indicator cause I assume your hdd is much larger then 8 gig

Hi guys sorry for my lot questions

but I'm new and I want to descover everything in any thing that I use

now I want to flash a custom rom on my phone(LG OPTIMUS ME/P350)

I learned how but the first step always be to go into the recovery mode when booting up.So I tried but it restore the default android

then I learned that I should install recovery mode(TWRP or CWM)

So I want to know

Is there a special version for every phone??

If so where can I find my on version

if no where can I find the general version for android 2.2.2

Recovery mode is different for all phones.

Also What is the kernel

how can it help me
[General Questions and Answers] Kagadar:
A kernel is the underlying process that drives the operating system and manages the resources. Unless you really know what you're doing, I would strongly suggest that you don't replace your current kernel.

The first link looks fine for installing a custom recovery partition. Take note that the install process requires root access to the phone.

You can get root by following the instructions here.

There should be a link somewhere on the forum for you to download ADB. If you can't find it, you can install the Android SDK from Google, it includes ADB.

hey guys, im finally moving to android after using wm6.5 for the last 2 years. i hoping you can answer a couple of questions for me.......

my xe is arriving today and im pretty sure i'll be sticking to stock rom as i did on my hd2 but im wondering, how do i go about changing icons to my own designs and can i install user made widgets without having to flash anything. that was the thing i loved about my hd2, i skinned just about the whole phone so im hoping android will be the same.

sorry for the truely newb questions but im totally new to the scene......

thanks for any advice.....
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Not sure about widgets, but icons will be easy. There's an app called Desktop Visualizer that lets you do this. You could also run a different launcher that has options for this. Keep in mind your app icons will look the same in your app drawer, though.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Yes you can install any widgets just by putting the APK on your phone and running it.
[HTC Sensation] donwhann:
thanks for the tips guys, im sure i'll soon get the hang of android.....APK sounds like a good start, i'll check it out.....

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exatto:
Hi,

About 1,5 months ago I received my first Android phone, a Galaxy Nexus.

I have unlocked the bootloader, rooted it en eventually installed Clockwork Mod Recovery following guides on this excellent forum! Everything went perfectly and it ran very smoothly in that state for about half a month up until yesterday.

I didn't have any custom roms installed, so I received the notification for the Android 4.0.2 update, it failed because of Clockwork Mod which I later found out. So I set about to manually install it, I downloaded the image from the google site and placed it in my home directory on my Phone, when I then wanted to restart to start in recovery mode it didn't do anything.

I tried getting the battery out and in, sim card out and in, recharging it,...

It does nothing, not even a small vibration signaling the phone is trying to start.

Anyone has any ideas to fix it, or might it be possible to send it back to the shop ( even though it is rooted etc. ?)

Thanks in advance,

Exatto
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
You need to get the stock images and flash using Odin or the ADB/Fastboot method. After which the phone will return to stock. Then you can root and do what you like. Lots of guieds on here on how to do it. Good luck.

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

By the way if you send back a rooted phone they will tell you to take a jump. Rooting voids the warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
No response at all? A real brick?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Can you get into download mode? If you can you can use any of the methods above to sort it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
I don't think there is a real brick. There are restore images. Extremely hard to brick a nexus...borderline impossible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Yeah I have never heard of a "real" bricked Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exatto:
No, that's the point. I can't get in any modes. It does't react at all. I think it might be a hardware fault, a friend suggested it might be due to a short circuit battery.

I just followed this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1419170) to update, using method 1, having clockwork mod installed. And when I shut it down to restart in recovery mode it suddenly stopped reacting. I have had this before, but then taking the battery in and out fixed everything. Now it doesn't anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Cool, well if removing the battery for a few minutes doesnt sort it then you should be able to return it because the carrier won't be able to tell if it is rooted if they can't turn it on.

When you charge it do you get the charging battery icon when you press the power button?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exatto:
But I can't do anything with a restore image when I can't even get it started, let alone be recognized by my computer?

P.S.: Sorry for the late reply, but apparently I still have to wait 5 minutes in between posts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Can you see the charging battery icon when the phone is off and plugged into the wall?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exatto:
No, not a charging sign. I hope I can return it, but what if the battery is faulty and they just pop a new one in and then see that it is rooted?

Thanks for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Could well be a dead battery dude, if you have a mate with a Nexus you could try yourself first. I know what you mean about the guy in the shop seeing the unlocked bootloader if he tried a different battery but you may be lucky in that he might not know what it is or you could just grab the phone and leg it ha ha

I hope it gets sorted and be sure to post here what happens. Take it easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exatto:
Thanks, hope it get's sorted out. Have to send the phone back, because it was imported, so no chance of legging it :D

Will post the outcome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exatto:
As promised the followup:

Luckily they didn't notice my GN was rooted etc. as today I received a brand new one after I sent the broken one in to an official Samsung repair center :)

I did test some things before I sent it in though, a friend just bought a new one and we tested if my battery worked in his phone (it didn't) and we tested his working battery in my phone (it didn't work either), so something was definitely very screwed up.

Haven't got any idea of what went wrong eventually as the repair service didn't offer any details, although I am off course glad I got a brand new one.

[HTC Amaze 4G] TramainM:
It could be the be your connection or just a fluke. I know that sometimes I get jerks on bad connections because of buffering when it comes to video and stuff like that. If its not the connection it could just be the phone isn't keeping up with the buffering if its a downloaded movie. like how it happens on comps time to time.

Paid app SyncSMS might help u
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felix516:
Both TextTab and Tablet Talk will do this. Both can sync over bluetooth, and tablet talk can sync over wifi as well. Both have similar interfaces and will notify you when you recieve a text or a call, and you can reply to texts directly from the app. Tablet talk has popup notifications as well(similar to go sms or sms popup). Both apps are paid apps on the market(Textab is $2 and Tablet Talk is $3), although there is a very limited free version of Textab.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackleberry:
Tablet talk worked the best. Was seamless and painless and connected right away. The ui needs some improvement but its not that bad. It needs to be themed better. Use the light theme and not the dark theme as not everything shows up right in dark...at least on miui it does not. Can't speak for a cm based rom. But get that one it seems to be the most painless and smoothest for Bluetooth connectivity

Again, I'm only talking about SMS usage. For other usage I can't give input I only wanted it for SMS communication. I am using go SMS as well it seems pretty flawless even with the third party messaging app warning.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flodb113:
I'm thinking like this... connect the phone to your pc. I am also assuming you have CWM recovery.

Then:

-transfer a stock rom from here on your sd storage (make sure it's for your model)

-get ROM Manager and search inside it for a "reboot into recovery" option, or use any app that does that.

The phone is now in recovery

-at this point, you navigate like this: back button goes back, home goes to main screen in CWM, menu goes to the next selection in the menu and search selects the item. The idea is that instead of power button, you can use the SEARCH button. Volume buttons are working for you, as you've said.

-now select

install zip from sdcard->choose zip->select your stock rom

and it should flash everything, including stock recovery.

-now connect your phone again to the pc, and open a command prompt.(again usb debugging must be checked)

-type:

fastboot oem lock

(Thanks simms22)

Now, you should be good to go. I'd also be careful about the screen turning off when you're back on stock, with a broken power button... don't let it do that!

Hi guy,

I have my IncS running on 2.3.3, previously i have s-off my device, as i read there is a thread that saying if need to have the OTA update for 2.3.5, i have to restore back the stock ROM.

So i try to check the stock ROM thread ([ROMs]Incredible S Shipped ROMs Collection) but i don't seem to find my stock ROM is the collection, but then i found this

RUU_VIVO_SENSE30_S_HTC_WWE_3.08.405.3_Radio_20.4802.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M_release_227170_signed.exe,

So i just wonder, is that possible for me directly restore this stock ROM directly?

since this rom is 2.3.5.

FYI, my device software number is 2.30.707.1, baseband version 20.2811.30.085AU_3805.09.03.27_M.

Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
If you are S-OFF using Revolutionary, then trying to run the RUU will not work successfully because the Revolutionary S-OFF HBOOT will not allow the RUU to overwrite it and the stock ROM will only run and boot if you have HBOOT 2.00.0000.

In the Development section there is a pre-rooted version of this stock ROM which you can flash on a Revolutionary S-OFF. This gives you the advantage of trying it out without losing S-OFF and if you don't like it, just flash another custom ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] allenschuan:
Hi tpbklake,

Thanks for the reply, just another stupid question, so far i see the HBoot version, is either 1.13 or 1.09, but when i check mine which s-off using Revolutionary,

It show Hboot-6.13, i think the original should be 1.13, is that mean mine also HBoot 1.13?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The Revolutionary S-OFF process implemented S-OFF by using a modified HBOOT and they made their's version 6.13.0000 to prevent overwriting it with a 'lower' version number and thus losing S-OFF when an official HTC OTA/RUU comes out.

That version number is what will prevent you from successfully installing the 3.08.405.3 RUU because the RUU will attempt to load HBOOT 2.00.0000 (lower version number) on a phone that has HBOOT 6.13.0000.
