It won't see mine in the adapter that came with it but with the same adapter it sees the 4gb one. The only way my PC sees my 32gb card is either in the phone or in the USB adapter I bought off amazon...

Ok, but when you have the sd card connected to the pc with the usb adapter (I am formatting my cards via the usb port), if the pc sees the card in my computer, can't you click on the card & get the option to format it?

Fat16 will never work. The card is too big. Exfat would be compatible.

Also- there is a HP USB FORMAT tool out there that lets you format any usb drive to different types not in windows 7 format tool.

Not sure if this will help. But if you can mount the drive from your phone you should be able to use it.

Either way- we are in the same biz- you might have other uses for the tool

Someone help me out here because I'm probably the biggest noob in the US right now.

I'm reading a sticky on rooting, and it says I don't need to be rooted to flash a rom, but all I need is to install CWM via Odin (I do know what that means)

I had a couple of questions/concerns:

1) the main reason I'm trying to do this is to flash a rom that grants great battery life. I've seen screenshots here of people running 13+hours on the battery with high performance. Do I actually have to be rooted for that or is it all within the rom?

2) Say I want to upgrade to a stock firmware (let's say official 4.1 comes out and I want to upgrade) could I just plug it up to Kies and upgrade normally or is there some kind of process I have to go through? I'm not seeing any clarification in this sticky.

3) if I ever need to sell or trade in my phone or something, will factory resetting clear the rom or will I have to go into Odin or some other program to unflash it?

4) I know this sort of violates rules but I'm not sure if it applies in OT Thread. Any suggestions on setups for great battery life? That's really all I'm after.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Sorry if this seems like a burden but I want to make sure I have no questions unanswered before doing this.

Edit: if you have to factory reset while flashing a rom, how do you get your data back?

[Off-topic] chinthekng:
First off read vincoms stickies (ALL OF THEM) cus they're by far the most informative you can find them in the general and development section

Second yeah having a custom rom can help battery due to some tweaks that might be incorporated into it. But it also depends ono how much you use your phone

Third if you wanna sell your phone your gonna have to go through odin to fully wipe (or if you're on the go flash the official at&t ics release deodexed by mohan in the dev section, they wont notice the difference) but only do the second once you're moe knowledgeable on flashing and stuff

Fourth once official 4.1 comes out for us (if it does) you're probly not gonna want it cus you'll be to busy enjoying the jellybean goodness we already have. But if you REALLY want it then just go to samfirmware.com and download the firmware tar and then flash it through odin (look at vincom's stickies for reference)

As for battery it all depends on how often you use your phone. In regards to ics ive heard good things about sky ics but i prefer embryo 5.3 for battery (its all preference and use that really determines that stuff)
[Off-topic] bps119:
Well, I was going to respond, but the guy above me pretty much said it as well as anyone could.
[Off-topic] sly-tendencies:
Thanks so much!

As for rom choice, I was thinking Jelly Bean. I was looking at Slim Bean and it runs super smoothly, but I can't seem to find a battery life review online anywhere. I spend most of my day in school/away from home, and I'd like a way to survive without having to charge my battery halfway through the day due to LTE frying it down anywhere from 20-50% depending on use.

Sent from my non-rooted GS2 SR
[Off-topic] chinthekng:
for me personally i hardly use my phone usually school for first half of the day and the second half is just homework lol. So i can easily get a day with cm10 but in regards to slim bean im not sure. Although ive seen alto of good reviews about Orthus Rom some good battery life pics in that thread so i'd check it out if i were you. Also heard really good battery life for sky-jelly. Again haven't run it so im not speaking from personal experience just pics ive seen in the thread. Some people get awesome battery life with paranoid android too. Also id recommend sticking to the stock kernel of the rom that you use and not instigator kernel (you can find it in dev section) cus there have been alot of merges under the hood for cm10 and aosp in general (almost all aosp roms all built using cm10 as a base) and that kernel is pretty old now. :D Have fun

Iif you're not rooted then you cant get your data back but id recommend dowonlaoding system tuner pro. Its one of my favorite apps for cpu control, backups, restores, and almost everything else. Not sure if you have to be rooted to use it.

But most roms come rooted so backup your data on your stock rom (AFter rooting it of course) and restore it on your new rom
[Off-topic] sly-tendencies:
Yeah. I'm reading the XDA post on Orthus, and in the instructions for what to do in CWM it says "wipe system, dalvik cache and factory reset" unless "factory reset" means something different, doesn't that wipe all data?

There are some apps on the play store that will back up data, SMS, call logs, and media that you do not have to be rooted to use.

Traded my skyrocket for a note. My SR had a few screen nicks and the edge wasn't perfect. I got a brand new like i717 in white.

As far as performance its just like the SR. It can be overclocked further by 100mhz. I restored my tibu from SD so I had all of my SR scores listed on here so I retested and the note beat it at every benchmark but not by that much.

Thanks to all of the great developers here working on the SR. It was a reason I'd of kept it.

Well I'm not really a HTC fan and am glad I talked my daughters into upgrading. I got them the pantech burst which I must admit is s OK phone. A recent upgrade to ICS just came out for them and I love the ease of upgrade over Samsung kies. With Samsung say if you had 3 skyrockets to update. With each one kies makes you go thru the download process of the same dang firmware for each one. But all 3 of my children have the pantech burst so I connected the first one to the PC download the necassary files and pantechs PC suite which allows you to backup all data, SMS, call logs, contacts, and media with one click. It downloaded the firmware and updated the first phone in around 25 minutes. Hooked the 2nd one and hit backup and once that completed it installed the already downloaded firmware in under 5 minutes and the same on the 3rd phone. Which with kies would have took hours downloading the firmware each time....

Samsung is great don't get me wrong but kies mini sux big time lol

Sent from my SR running Orthus Five
[Off-topic] UZ7:
Well if all you did was mess with the bootanimations you can probably just install right over it or if you can find the one that came with your specific rom.

What I mean about backing up is through nandroid (recovery). And if nothing major changed then you can easily just format the /system and reinstall the rom + gapps (if you're using aosp).

Technically since you didn't do a factory reset or formatting /data your data should still be intact. If not you can always do an advance restore and pick /data and it will reload all of them.
