[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heinz gruber:
hi,

i'm usin ra passion 2.2.1 and wan't to use a2sd from ics 4.0.3 evervolv. how can i create a part ext4?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Google:

"a2sd partition sd card".

Enjoy.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1newbie:
Try 4EXT recovery www.4ext.net

I think its the easiest way to create partition.

Or else you can do it in pc via partition managers(i use minitool partition wizard)

You can google it and also can search in youtube for video tutorials. :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heinz gruber:
thanks for your help, i've done it in recovery.

one question is left:

what happen if i format the partioned sd-card under windows and do a full wipe in preparation for installing a new rom. i've read sd-ext even survive a full wipe? what does that mean? stays the partition untouched when i format the sd-card with windows? and what about the apps in the partition? are they still there even after a full wipe and can i use them after flashing a new rom out of the box?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1newbie:
Glad u succeeded in partitioning :)

Now if you format the fat32 partition in windows using those partition tools doesnt affect ur ext. Ext stays untouched but all the data on fat32 will be wiped(so backup first to pc)

If u want to merge there is an option called merge for that.

There is an free windows software called sdformatter, that formats the entire sdcard(fat32+ext)

Hope i helped a bit :thumbup:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heinz gruber:
ok. i wan't to format it with the windows internal function via right click. is it the same and the ext4 stays untouched?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Full wipe in recovery wipes SD-EXT too.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1newbie:
i do beleive that it should be untouched, cos normally windows cannot see the ext partition and hence only fat32 will be formatted
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heinz gruber:
ok. when ext4 stay untouched and i flash a new rom the apps are still in the launcher after flashing?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heinz gruber:
when i flash a new rom i use the format.zip form the xda user temasek which wipes system, boot, data and cache. so is sd-ext untouched when i use this file?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You insist on not listening and/or not understanding.

When you select "wipe data/factory reset" in custom recovery, EXT partition IS WIPED COMPLETELY. It doesn't stay.

I believe the same happens when using temasek's script, never bothered using it, so I can't say with 100% certainty.

If you don't wipe your phone and install a new ROM - be prepared for crashes of anything to everything, unless you install a ROM which is 100% compatible with what you have already - the next generation of the same ROM, usually.

If you're using A2SD and don't wipe EXT partition - you'll have crashes as soon as you boot, since system apps' data will be there (and wrong).

To keep your apps and their data, use one of the backup apps available in the Market, like Titanium Backup.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1newbie:
as Jack_R1 explained its always better to wipe everything(system,cache,dalvik n sdext) to be on safer side to avoid crashes n FCs.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Temasek's Extreme Wipe does Data/System/Boot partitions but don't remember seeing ext in the list

However, as alluded too, I would format all outside phone with sdformatter or I think gparted, although never used that one

I thought I read a long time ago Windows formatter not recommended and do a full wipe not partial with whatever you use

Back up sdcard first

also, I believe you can use the Alignment Cool zip to get ext 4 from 3 on Amon and not lose anything--still backup

you do know MeDroid uses Ia2sd and different from a2sd on implementation
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You don't need to wipe the regular FAT partition on SD card between flashes, because there's nothing there that loads automatically. And "wipe data/factory reset" option in recovery also wipes /sdcard/.android_secure.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heinz gruber:
hey guys, thanks for your answers i will keep them in mind.

edit:

one more question:

if i uses temaseks script and the sd-ext is untouched and i flash a newer version of my rom, are the apps then still there after flashing and booting the updated system? or is there another step i've to do?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
No, the apps aren't there anymore - or to be correct, the apps are there, their data is gone (because the app data doesn't reside on EXT partition, unless you use specific mounting methods).

When you flash an updated version of your ROM, just don't wipe anything at all unless the instructions specifically mention having to wipe before installing that version. That means - don't execute temasek's script at all.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cansado2930:
Hello,

I have a lot of problems with omnia 7 due to app profile network of samsung haven´t got the profile of my operator. I can set it thanks to a post of here, but I think that it is a bit difficult and you need the computer to set it. As I have studied some of programming c#, I decided to make an app that set mms and internet. I have already done the screen and I´ve get to make that app create the file xml with the code in order to set mms and internet, but I haven´t found information about how execute/apply the file xml with the app. Where can I find about it?

PD: Sorry, I do not control English very well
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cansado2930:
Hi,

I guess it's a topic a bit complex, but can not someone help me with this?

:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
You use an OEM COM interface, accessed from C# by using Microsoft.Phone.InteropServices.ComBridge. One easy way to see how this is done is to look at the source of an app that does it. If you can't get the source to DiagProvXML, you could always just decompile it (decompiling .NET code is pretty easy and there are several tools that can do it). There are several other apps that also use provxml; one or more of them may offer source access.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cansado2930:
Hi,

Thank for your help and I can select the services that I have load, but I have a small problem that I hadn't taken into account. I know c# but my apps are a lot of more easy that diagprovxml, and I can´t find the part of program that I´m interested. I use "JustDecompile" to decompile the app. Could you tell me what class(or classes) is (are) what I'm looking for?

Thank you very much again
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Hmm... it's not linked in my SIG because it's out-o-date, but you could try using Search to find my old DeployProvXml app. It includes a pretty straightforward example of using provxml.

Essentially, you need the following things:

The interopservices DLL (allows you to use the ComBridge class).

The OEM DLLs (DMXMLCOM.dll and such).

COM class and interface definitions for them in C# (this is the stuff with the [ComImport] attributes and the GUIDs).

ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES in your WMAppManifest.

WPInteropManifest.xml file in your project.

Use the ComBridge to register the COM interfaces, then create an instance of the COM class(es), cast to the appropriate interface type(s), and use a variable of the interface type like any other .NET object.

You can read a bit more about COM and native code in Heathcliff74's guide. It's aimed at making your own native libraries, so skip all the stuff about creating your own COM classes and writing native code. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1299134
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cansado2930:
Hi again, Does the method WP7RootToolsSDK.Environment.ProcessConfigXml allow to set the parameters that have a tipical xml file?

thank you again
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
I'm not sure what you mean by "set the parameters" but the Root Tools SDK does in fact allow you to consume ProvXML files now (I think it even supports the query provXML and returns the output, though I haven't tried).
[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
I could be called a bit strange for wanting ICS with Sense but I like Sense.

I've just seen this in the Runnymede dev section. Is there a Dev that fancies porting it to our Desire Z? See how it runs?

Thanks!

Craig

(Ps, I used to "cook" WM 6.5.x for Touch Pro 2 but haven't a clue about Android)
[G2 and Desire Z General] sheepsky:
I like Sense and really loved 3.5 with a quicklaunch widge:)
[G2 and Desire Z General] coldsun15:
The htc one v (ics + sense4) is coming out, and has very similar specs to the DZ/G2, so i think everyone is waiting for a port of this, rather than port from runnymede, but then again, i could be wrong ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Yeah a Runnymede port doesn't really help use because what we really need for a proper Vision version of ICS is drivers for the graphics and camera. So we need ICS for something like Desire HD, Desire S, One V or maybe even the non-HTC phones (e.g. Sony) that use the same chipset.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
Apparently there is a leak of the Sensation ICS Sense 4.0 ROM floating around the interwebs. I'm trying to track it down and get it in the hands of the Virtuous Team so they can work their magic.
[G2 and Desire Z General] johrie:
Won't need to track it down :p it is right there in the sensation xl forums. Desire HD folks are all over it now :p

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Hasn't that been officially released? They've a few ics roms based off of official ics over there
[G2 and Desire Z General] ilbeppez:
Yes!

Hope will be ported to our DZ/G2 ;)!!

HTC says that Sense 4.0 is lighter than previous versions so I think devs could port Sense 4.0 to our phone :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] johrie:
Yeah but untill now sense 4.0 only runs on the sensation and the evo3d and as far as i know there hardware is to diffrent from ours and also will need some resizing. Best we can have now is the sensation xl rom with sense 3.6. It has the same cpu as the dhd and an resolution of 480*800.

[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
AFAIK (and as of 3 days ago) the ICS ROM for the Sensation has only been leaked, not officially released:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] groovdafied:
So I believe I goofed here and could use some help. The tablet still works and boots into honeycomb, but things are not the same. ADW is crashing, home button is not working. I can still open apps and go to settings and get onto the net.

I rooted the device, installed Clockwork Mod and the SDCard permissions fix, but this all happened after applying the SDCard fix.

Now I went into recovery and tried restoring to factory default and used the factory reset through the Privacy tab under settings. Both options do not work. When I say it doesn't work, I mean that it doesn't ask me to create or sign in to my google account, it just goes back to the home screen with the same problems.

I read that Kies can reflash the device, but Kies is not recognizing the device on my mac. I haven't tried it using VMWare with Windows 7. I can give that a try I guess, but I can use some help here.

**edit**

So I logged into bootcamp using Windows 7, Kies shows it's trying to connect but it doesn't go past that point. I have found the odin instructions, but I don't have the proper stock rom to use with it. What now? The multiupload sites don't work, it keeps leading to google can't find the page.

Thanks!

***edit 2***

I need the official GT-P6210 US Firmware so I can recover my tablet using Odin (I can't boot into recovery, so I need to use Odin). I saw the thread with the download links, but they are all broken.

I can really use the help, I've googled all night and day, searched this forum and I'm running to brick walls. I'm at the screen where it says there was a problem updating the os (or something like that) and to use the kies recovery mode?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] pakalrtb:
Have you tried searching for your stock firmware on www.sammobile.com ?

P_
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] groovdafied:
I didn't know that existed, I will give it a try. I'm assuming I use those stock Rome with the oden app?(forgive me if I'm not spelling that right
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] groovdafied:
Hmm, it doeantlook like my Tom is on that site. Other suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jmar8124:
helps on its way bro......

now follow my steps....

step1. download your required firmware package from the development section.

step2. download the odinv1.8 and then unzip and install to desktop

step3. open odin and select PDA and load the unzipped firmware file. (do not touch anything else at all)

step4. power on the device with volume button down and power on (download mode)

step5. plug in to pc via USB 2.0 as this has less chance of failing then press start on odin it will push the firmware on to the device and them reboot

step6. sit back and enjoy lol.

thank me if it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] groovdafied:
Yes, I did all this, but when I get to step 5 it says that the rom I used was invalid. Maybe I downloaded the wrong one, I'm not sure. But all the rome on here using multi upload, the links are not working. I just need to find the rom for my US Galaxy tab 7 plus wifi... can you point me to a working link?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] groovdafied:
At this point, I've been trying to reflash a firmware and it's not worked, it has now kept me at the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus boot screen. It doesn't even play the Samsung animation.

And while I'm in CWM i tried reformatting again and I noticed one error:

"Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure! <new line> Skipping format..."

This is the what I get when I format:

Formatting /data...

Error mounting /data!

Skipping format

Formatting /cache...

Formatting /sd-ext...

Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure!

Skipping format...

Data wipe complete.

Suggestions would be great.

BTW: The multiupload.com url's in the development section is totally not working. I could use a mirror site for looking on the net is not working.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] bdds13:
have you tried going to mounts and mounting data?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] groovdafied:
Ya, doing that says it's error.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] groovdafied:
According to my research, I need to get the official us firmware, but the links are broken... I'm trying very hard to find it elsewher
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] groovdafied:
Well, I'm one step closer to solving this issue. I found a european rom and tried flashing it on my device using odin. It was going all well until at the end it failed when completing the writing part of the flash. When I tried booting the device, I get a graphic and an exclamation point saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Try again." Sooo, I think what i need is to get my hands on a firmware version for us or something that works. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
it may be dangerous, but I thought there was a p6200 firmware and .PIT file floating around. You want to load that in ODIN ( or heimdall ) and choose repartition.

just my advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] groovdafied:
Ya I found a European firmware but it story!!ed at like 98%.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] amtrakcn:
No need for pit, flashed european GT-P6210 firmware once and just some minor system app difference.

And yes, it seems there is no working link of official US GT-P6210 firmware here.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] groovdafied:
well good news!! Amazon has agreed to replace my tablet, so a new one is being shipped as I speek and should be here in about 3 days. I didn't think they would replace it with what has happened, but I got lucky.

All I can think of is the sdcard permissions hack screwing up everything. I'm just going to accept defeat and go the route samsung wants me to take to load files. Unfortunate, but it's the price to pay for this device. I really like the GT+, light weight, thin and looks great.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] edan1979:
hmmm i've being flashing my GT+ many times as i always play with it framework and such... and have use the hack each time i reflash... never got the error
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] wes.harris:
For future reference the 6210 US retail firmware is located in the Dev section under 'official Firmwares' Post #82 (I am a noob so I can't post a link)

I have used it. Once you have it loaded via ODIN then you can upgrade to the latest firmware via Keis.

Hi everybody

I have created CYANOGEN THEMED ROM with the base of CREEDS ROM.

MAINLY it will act as an update for CREEDS V2.0

IF YOU ARE USING CREEDS V2.0 THEN THIS WILL ACT AS AN UPDATE

MAINLY THERE IS NO NEED FOR (WIPE DATA OR FACTORY RESET) & CACHE WIPE

JUST INSTALL THIS THROUGH STOCK RECOVERY OR CWM

hi guys, I come from an hd2....so I know cwm, android and the process of flashing...

but I have some questions...

are the 4.0.3 roms stable? have you got any suggestion for a good rom?

when I flash ICS from GB have to full wipe? I know that if I don't wipe the data/factory reset keep my personal data, but ICS is a big update...if I don't wipe my data will be lost? or the rom could not run the previous apps and read my data? maybe they are in a different folder in GB...or ICS...

doing the s-off, cwm and root my warranty expires...can I restore the phone like new without risks of bricking?....the procedure of s-on is really dangerous or is just for the disclaimer?

thx in advance. you guys are awesome
[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
First of all, welcome to the Sensation family :)

4.0.3 roms are stable, especially now that the devs are using base 3.32. 3.32 will be the official ICS update for the Sensation so you can count on it for daily use :D

Generally if you're coming from GB or coming from other devs roms, a superwipe is recommended to avoid headaches. You can use apps to backup SMS/Call log and Apps+data. For apps+data, I recommend using Titanium Backup.

Based from what I've read, yes, S-ONing is dangerous and a couple of people have bricked their Sensations because they haven't followed instructions properly so there is an inherent danger doing it. (I haven't done it myself)
[HTC Sensation] MrCheesecake:
+ 1 to all the above!

And as far as roms go, it depends what you want:

*there is an 'official' HTC ICS build out there, if you want to keep relatively similar to stock sense then that is the one for you

*Virtuous Inquisition is the best AOSP (vanilla ICS) rom I've tried, it's not quite perfect yet (only a few minor niggles like the lockscreen music widget not showing up or not displaying the correct track, minor, but still slightly annoying) but is definitely stable enough for daily use, and is damn slick!

*my own personal choice and the rom I've been using for a while now is Darkforest 5.5.0 coupled with Nova Launcher from the market, it's now sort of a hybrid of Sense and vanilla ICS. Using the Nova Launcher means I can't use the HTC widgets (that I really like) but it does have a boatload more customisation options than plain old Sense.

Hope this helps at all :)

some roms need 4ext recovery....do you suggest me to use that and not cwm?...

I read about hboot....it's the system partition size, right?....have I got to change it for flash some roms? if I do something wrong with hboot I may brick my phone...
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
Hboot= bootloader. Messing around with it can brick your device , if you don't know what you are doing. There are firmware upgrade files that include hboot+radio and are needed for some roms to boot.

Supercid is needed only if you are messing with firmware upgrades and ruus. That has to do with regions.

4ext is a recovery fully compatible with cwm. It just has a nicer ui.
