[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nordis2010:
The following explains one way to configure your ASUS TF300T to use your

SD Card as the main storage instead of trying to save everything to the local storage.

If you use this method you will be able to move your installed apps over from Local Storage to your External Storage (your SD Card), you can run the majority of your apps from the SD Card, and also set SD Card as the default location for downloads.

Prerequisites:

You have to have Root access on your device before you can do any of this. You have to make sure you go into settings/Developer Options on your device and Enable USB Debugging before you start any of this.

What you need for this.

1. You need to partition your Micro SD Card. I used a Micro SD to USB Adapter, and Partitioned my 32GB SD Card on a Windows 7 system as follows.

Set the 1st partition to 1GB. Set the second partition to use the remainder of the card. Download "EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition" it's free, you pull it down from www.download.com The Link 2 SD Guide I mention below shows what you need to do with this even though it references different devices, and the main partition app has a different name, the process is still the same.

2. You need a boot loader this is what that 1st/ 1GB partition is for. I used

bootice you can download it from here it's also free http://code.google.com/p/grub4dos-ireneuszp/downloads/detail?name=bootice_0.9.2011.0512.rar

This is all you need to do with this app. With your Micro SD Card Plugged into a USB port on your Windows system/Run Bootice on your Windows System, go "Parts Manage" > "ReFormat USB disk" (don't worry, it won't "format" the USB) > choose the dropdown option for your new first partition > click "Set Accessible" and it's done already! After that you can just click cancel/close/etc.

3. Download and run Link2SD from the Android Market, you can actually do this step first if you want. Also this app is free.

Here is a Guide I found online for Link2SD. http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/12/link2sd-guide-never-worry-about-internal-memory-limits-again/

This guide shows you how to move apps, No proprietary system apps, but those are not the ones you really have to worry about taking up space anyway. It also shows you how to go into the Link2SD settings and make your Micro SD Card your default download location from places that auto install applications like the Android Market. Very nice, this was exactly what I needed, I'm very pleased with this so far.

I have to give another thank you to jgaf for this, he pointed me in the direction of the Link 2 SD software in the first place, very much appreciated!

Good luck.:)

nordis

P.S.

If you need a Micro SD to USB adapter they are very cheap, and very readily available. The going rate for these things is usually from $3 dollars to $6 dollars. You can just do a general search in Google for "usb to micro sd adapter"
[Galaxy S III General] shadowofdarkness:
I wanted to extract the S III boot logo for use on my S II and found out it was really easy because unlike the S II which used a hard to modify lfs partition image, I found a param.bin file that turned out to be a renamed tar file.

So when the phone comes out people can easily replace the logo.jpg in the archive before flashing.

I love the Linux "file" command for identifying renamed extensions easily.
[Galaxy S III General] Erahgon:
LOL! That's a good find! I wonder if this means that Samsung's starting to accept that people will be messing around deep within their phones (esp. flagship phones)!
[Galaxy S III General] simone201:
Thanks for the great info! Then it's even easier to create an app or a script to mod it at boot time, and add this feature in a kernel :)
[Galaxy S III General] sorg:
unfortunately, logo from param.bin is not used.

I've replaced logo.jpg and flashed param.bin to mmcblk0p4 partition, but still see original logo...
[General Questions and Answers] kryptonova:
Hi

I'd like to read Burmese (Myanmar) font on Android and it could be done so in Froyo or Gingerbread. Font we use does not have complex script. (In fact, that font does not follow Unicode Standards)

Recently, I started using a tablet with 3.2 and I realized that 3.2 has complex script support, in compliance with Unicode Standards, I think. And, while original texts were typed in linear format, Honeycomb is applying script and characters become misplaced.

But, script is not applied everywhere. In GMail app, snippet view of email body in Inbox view doesn't apply script (i.e, words are readable) but when I clicked an email thread to read it, script is applied and text becomes unreadable.

My question is whether we can easily disable complex script rendering in Android if it's rooted?

Or, it is deep down inside the core and we can't do much about it?

Thanks in advance!

For streamlining of the Android system, the common way is to delete some apks in system/app.

Now suppose I do have the entire code of the frameworks , and need deal with a specific project .For streamlining of the Android system, what can we do ?

Now assume that this particular project, its final realization of the effect may only need to run a few apks, and installation for external apk is prohibited.

In this case, we could delete some java services we need not to use in SystemServer.java.

Removal of the loading of the program do not need to rely on in init.rc.

Delete pre-loading resources and classes we need not to use.

For system components , I personally think that seems needing not to streamline.

Kindle fire, based on Android system. The most mentioned is that it removed gapps. It has done what else for streamlining of the system?

How do you think about streamlining of the android system?Give me your idea.

Thanks.:cool:

Hello, my phone is only a couple months old, but was a replacement for a non-working phone at the end of my warranty period, so no help from motorola.

My H & N keys in the keyboard don't work.

My keyboard thinks it is being touched in certain places and I cannot use my phone at all.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1morrison:
Im curious to know if the kindle fire has the appropriate hardware, to use compass apps. Ive installed a few different ones, mostly just to play with, and they dont ever work. Most load and show the needle pointing at 40°, others just fail to start up. So im not sure if the kindle lacks such hardware or if i somehow messed up my kindle, say dropping it or the like.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
The Kindle Fire doesn't have a compass.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jessical:
You're thinking of a gyroscope. And yes, you are right in thinking that the Kindle doesn't have the hardware. You can turn it sideways, side to side, etc, but that's it.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Some phones have actual magnetic sensors (compasses) to detect "north", which is quite different from an accelerator or gyroscope.

Yes my 2021 Fire Tablet HD10 lacks compass hardware which is a shame as a lot of the Astronomy apps use it to find objects in the sky.

Hello, I have a big question, as between froyo and gingerbread there is no difference which version I wanted to know more should be that I have a stock kernel with X8 and now I find the stock rom with some improvements: P

Well, what matters is faster a ROM Froyo or a ROM Gingerbread?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fotak-x:
Try gingerbread have less bug

I think

-=PrimeHD=-8-=Alfs Kernel=-
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
Not really. We have almost fully working CM6 Roms and because Froyo is lightweight, it operates better in our phone than Gingerbread.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fotak-x:
Gingerbread have more features

then froyo

-=PrimeHD=-8-=Alfs Kernel=-
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
Yeah but Froyo is more stable and has better performance.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fotak-x:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] przemek4113:
So gingerbred have more features than froyo.I prefer GingerDX v26 or MiniCM7 2.2.0
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafiXS:
Froyo: Stable, faster and batteryfriendlyer than Gingerbread but not all Features.

Gingerbread: High Customisation and fast. Sometimes bugs

-=PrimeHD=-8-=Alfs Kernel=-
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvantisARG:
Then I will try froyobread, provided that can be passed apps to SD (Can be with froyo?) Is sufficient reason, since being in the stock ROM only thing strange is that, and the app2sd is not a good choice for I.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MintiIceCream:
Donout (1.6) please forgot it, its old and incompatible woth tweaks and with a lot apps

Eclair (2.1) use it if you want, but it has less features than Froyo

Froyo (2.2) - Developers had more time to upgrade it, so it can be better (cause started before gb)

Gingerbread (2.3.0-2.3.7) - it has better custamization than froyo, and has more tweaks to it (for ex. Adreno libs)

Honeycomb - (3.0) it isnt for phones, its only for tablets

Ice Cream Sandwich - (4.0.0-4.0.4)

Wait for it! Sign the petitions to get a fully working system of ICS

So

Older - Faster, Less Compatible with apps, has less tweaks, less customization, better battery life (1.0-2.2)

Gingerbread - Bit slower, Most apps are compatible, has more tweaks, more customization, less battery life (2.3-2.3.7)

Newer - A lot slower, Some apps are not compatible yet (~50%), have only a few tweaks, BEST customization, Battetylife is as GB's (3.0-4.0.4)

I preffer GB now :)

PrimeHD 8.0

Hope i helped :)

I've been doing a lot of digging and managed to track down and download 3 APK files for various DVB-T dongles only to discover that I need drivers as well. This sort of confuses me as I thought the APK would do the job.

The Tablet S is supported in Japan with a Logitec DVB-T tuner (I don't have the APK, it will not download to a UK device), so does this mean that the Japanese version of the Tablet S has a kernel that supports DVB-T and if so what would be involved in getting this functionality in a UK Tab ?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

[Kindle Fire General] BorrowADolla:
If I put ICS on my Kindle, how do I get 4.0 specific apps on there? Right now I use my android phone that runs 2.3 to access the play store, then I backup and install on the fire.

I dont think my ZTE99 phone can run ICS but if it can, will Google Play recognize this and allow me to download ICS apps?
[Kindle Fire General] smirkis:
what apps are u referring to?
[Kindle Fire General] Jessical:
If you put ICS on your Kindle, you'd need to flash the Google Apps which will give you the Play Store. So you wouldn't have to deal with the backing up mess. :)

Google won't let you download apps designed for ICS on older OS versions. Nor will it let you install them.
[Kindle Fire General] BorrowADolla:
All the apps in the play store that say "Not available for your device" My cell phone runs 2.3. A lot of these gingerbread apps wont work on ICS. Source: user reviews for just about every gingerbread app. :)

Maybe ill give apktops another shot if thats my only option.

I know im a bit late for the party, but i use this site ( http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps) to install the playstore. It has a list of the different cyanogenmods and which gapps is best for it. Just download, then install with twrp. Reboot and download whatever you want from the playstore. Some apps say that you cant install them, do to you device and others because of your location. I dont know how to fix the local one.

Of course he is talking about getting games to run, but its the same with accessing apps on the market.

Easiest method to do it?

Any opinions?

THANK YOU!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
Rooting and applying a custom rom like cm7 or cm9 do not necessarily go together, an unfortunate assumption many new android users make. The former allows you root access and thus you can do things with the device you otherwise would not have been able to do. Flashing a custom rom will literally change the operating system entirely. Both are also completely reversible. So the question is, what do you want? Root access or a new OS entirely (note that custom roms almost always have root access).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
I wanted to say "very good" ! . and a note that i think should be added... is the importance of wiping the dalvik and the data cache within the flash process. . lots of people get clobbered by this ommission.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
Allow me to explain. Gapps, or google apps are a seperate package of apps created by google. They are not apps that are included with "pure" Android and thus Google does not want them included with roms for whatever legal reasons. They were included in the step 1 you gave because that is simply rooting. Rooting and throwing apps onto a rom like the stock version is not flashing a custom ROM. In fact its no different than if a developer were to release a custom rom that didnt have root access, but someone wrote a script that gave you root access and installed those google apps.

tl;dr gapps are legally required to be a separate package from custom roms.
