[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mherlihy:
So, I finally rooted this old phone after all these years with the hopes of deleting a lot of the bloatware. I did, but now I realize that this has only freed up space on my system partition. I have an extra 50mb here. I am assuming there is no way to move space from this partition to my /data partition - even though they are both on the nand.

I searched the forums for a good hour and did not find an answer to this question. Do people use custom roms to avoid having wasted space in their system partition? I'm running the latest stock, which I rooted using htc, and I installed anon ra.

Thanks

Read this whole thread.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386911 ,then at the bottom of post 2 you will see some links,use the ones you need and yes you can free up space with DT's app2sd.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
.. and to answer your specific question, a small amount of unused space in /system is normal and necessary. As you install more and more apps you may see this overhead decrease slightly. (Indeed, your OP indicates you have already observed this process in reverse.) You can get by with less than 10 megs. Because it is not available for any other use, anything much more than that is basically wasted space.

There was once a mod that attempted to realign partitions to reclaim this space. Search Google for "firerat".

The problem with this mod was that no scripts for flashing kernels or ROMs expect a non-standard alignment, which leads to disastrous results unless you remember to undo the mod every time you flash anything.

Note this mod is not much discussed anymore. This leads me to conclude that even if it still works, it's probably not worth the effort.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmancuso:
Actually many of the long time users still use it. The problem is that the new sense roms eat most of the system partion up. Yet if you use an aosp rom you can get around an extra 100 meg depending on the setup. Also some of the newer scripts give you more space by using an extended sd partition.

I suggest if you are not comfortable flashing with fastboot not to use firerats mod. The mod wont really mess up anything but if you have forgotten you used it than you flash something else you could spend hours or days beating your head against the wall. Also if you change kernels then you have to flash a script to mod the new kernel to properly read the partitions.

To undo the mod you have to flash a new recovery through fastboot then erase partitions and reboot to recovery. Then flash new rom like normal.

Hope this helps you get an idea of what you are going into before you start.

You make me look like a tech head lol !!!!

use quick adb pusher

you can pick up the file and drop it into the top box , then in the bottom box do a folder search in the phone till you are at /system/data (as suggested by Gfhoihoi 72) then press the push file button .

if in /system/app then tick the install apk box on quick adb pusher

the writing at the bottom will tell you if the file has been pushed successfully .

then use a file explorer i use this Root Explorer

it costs but i think of it as one of my top 5 must have apps .

use root explorer (or whatever) and browse to the new file you have in /system/data (or /system/app if the other is wrong)

click on the options button for the explorer and choose change permissions

all you need to do is make sure the permissions match this

x / x / -

x / - / -

x / - / -

reboot and all should be well :)

although as it is an apk , i'm not sure why it has to go to data and not to /system/app , maybe someone can chip in here ?

Oh yeah, thanks to the XDA Developers, Yorch and the whole XDA community. ROM updating really is easy when you've got the right info, and I can tell you it's really worth upgrading to PPC 2003 (WM2003?), it seems so much more stable, my GPRS has never stayed on as long and it's fun! You can get creative in the ROM kitchens (such as http://www.yorch.net), adding the software you like.

Just a piece of advice, search the threads for problems with any ROM you want to try out first so that you know the traps before it's having a party on your XDA at your sanity's expense.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ebswift:
I have some more observations now that I'm getting more comfortable with doing ROM updates. There are some advantages in going from the 4.00.05 ROM to 4.00.21, such as button lockout while off.

When I initially did the 4.00.21 upgrade I happened to go into the "band" option in phone settings and left the options unselected. Unfortunately setting this to nothing defaults to USA which is totally incompatible with Australia. The result was the phone would not synchronize and I could no longer go into phone settings. The fix for this scenario can be found in this thread : http://xda-developers.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2893&sid=1e7be62705d2831332c7f0bd5a75e364. It's standard stuff to the die-hards, the scariest thing in the world for us newbies.

Once you set the band for Australia (same as Europe - 900/1800 I think it is) you then get a signal, can synchronize and start customizing your settings. You can get rid of most of the T-Mobile garbage, so far everything is working fine.

Just to keep this info updated for the Aussies (and same applies for Asians, and Europe too I think), basically the same applies for 4.01.00 as I explained for 4.00.21 further back. 4.01.00 seems much the same as 4.00.21 at the moment.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] BobMorane:
Hi guys,

I have a similar set-up as yours, ie I am in Australia nd I upgraded my rom to a 4.00.16. I would like to downgrade it to the original O2 one as I have to return the phone to my company (I am being made redundant).

I tried the method you described but I failed. Basically, I can write the patch on the SD card and when I put it back into the device nothing changes...

Could you please be more specific as to what you did ? Typically, did you switch off the device then put the card then stop/soft-reset or else ?

As well, I only have the NBF version of the O2 rom that I got from the update on their site. Do you think it works or should I try to find a "pure" NB1 rom (I think there's one on Yorch's website).

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Bob.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ebswift:
Hi Bob,

Sorry to hear you have to give up your XDA, hope you have replacement work for your redundancy.

Once you have written the Wallaby Patch onto the SD card using XDRIT you reset the device using the stylus and hold down the power button at the same time (with the SD card with the patch in place). That will load into bootload mode, and you press the action button at that point to actually go into the patch.

Once the patch has loaded you leave the device on, and remove the SD card, write your ROM image onto it using XDRIT, and place the SD card back into the phone. On the patch screen select "Restore from SD" using the little directional arrows button below the phone screen. It will then ask you to confirm, then you will see the progress - it takes about 5-7 minutes.

The details on how to write the patch and write ROM's are further up in this thread. I think you can use the NBF file but I am not certain. If you don't want to risk using an NBF you can use the same method above, but revert to the 3.17 ROM from Yorch, then you should be able to use the ROM upgrade from O2 to get a clean install of the manufacturer's ROM.

Let us know if you have any problems.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] BobMorane:
Thanks Mate.

I have tried once again to patch my Wallaby 5.17 (funny name, isn't it...). It failed. Once I go into the bootloader and press the OK button, I get to the diagnostics screen and nothing else is happening.

Could you shed some light on this ?

Thx.

Bob.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] BobMorane:
Re-reading your posts...

Would it be possible for you to send me the wallaby patch tool you used ? I tried the one from here (http://xda-developers.com/XDArit/wallaby-patch-tool.nb2), as is and renamed to nb0, but it seems to be the key.

Basically, even though I get the following message : "Successfully copied image of 514 blocks", after having chosen the 1k header, as it's explained in the very detailed post you mention, I still get to the diagnostics screen instead of the patch one...

Thx again in advance for any help.

Bob.[/img]
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ebswift:
Hmm, I had no problem at all with the bootloader... one thing though is that you don't rename the .nb2 to .nb0, you use the file as-is. In XDARIT you should be able to select the .nb2 file to write to SD.

It is a diagnostics screen that you get to, that is the purpose of the patch. In that diagnostics screen should be options such as backup ROM to SD and restore ROM from SD. If it still doesn't work for you then maybe I should send you the versions of the patch and XDARIT that worked for me.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] chris_khho:
Hi,

I am using the O2 3.20.06 ENG ROM and 4.21.00 Radio. Do you think I can upgrade to 4.00.21 ROM directly?

Should I just run the exe file from the Yorch.net? Is it that simple?

What about the radio? Do I have to install a new one or is the 4.00.21 ROM included the radio?

Also, why people need to upgrade bootloader to higher version? I am using bootloader 5.15.

Thanks very much in advanced.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ebswift:
Well, I wouldn't use an exe for upgrading, and I wouldn't try upgrading the radio unless it's an official one posted by your supplier.

Use a .nb1 ROM from yorch and use XDA-TOOLS to do the ROM upgrade. Remember that if you go to a T-Mobile ROM you will need to use the SD card method to change to a different ROM.

Don't try upgrading your bootloader, 5.15 is fine. It's the higher versions that can be problematic and require the patch.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] chris_khho:
Thanks very much for your reply.

I am about to upgrade my device.

Just a few more questions,

1. Is this 4.00.21 ROM worked okay with the 4.21 Radio in Asia?

2. Also, other encounter a problem with SD card with this new 4.00.21 ROM, have you find any? (every 48 hrs the device wipe out the data in the SD card!)

3. It seems to me when using SD card method to change ROM with bootloader 5.15, the procedure is the same as upgrading or downgrading, isn't it?

4. The file from Yorch.net "upgrade" is only nbf file. It's not nb1. Is it the same?

Cheers,
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ebswift:
Hi Chris

1. Yes, 4.00.21 does work fine with the 4.21 radio. I've touched on moving from 900/1900 to 900/1800 band if you should strike that problem.

2. Funny thing that, but I just checked and my SD card is erased after some 3 weeks of no problems.

3. Yes.

4. I do know that if you make a ROM in Yorch's kitchen you can choose .nb1. If you download an 'upgrade' I'm not quite sure what you get.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] chris_khho:
Not successful with the upgrade

Thanks so much for your reply.

From Yorch.net "upgrade", I can only get the 4.00.21 nbf file which is not nb1.

I can't use xdarit to burn that rom to SD card, an error occurred. But when I use the new OSImagetool, I can burn the ROM to the SD card and I can even change the name to nb1 file.

For both cases (nbf or nb1 file), I put the SD card in my device and press to the bootloading mode, nothing happen!

The device can't detect there is a ROM upgrade there. How can I do that?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ebswift:
Chris,

You need to download the .nb1 from the Rom Kitchen link on Yorch, not from the upgrades link, if all you are getting is a .nbf. With .nb1 you can use the osimage tool or xdrit with the sd method.

The bootloader will not restore from sd unless you have a correctly written image. In Yorch's kitchen you will see that .nbf is tagged for advanced users, that's a strong hint that different methods need to be used to install those.

Hi Everyone,

I like to think of myself of pretty proficient user. I have been pretty good at figuring things out since the Cupcake days..but this particular issue has plagued me for some time now and I'm not sure if there is a solution. I have also done a ton of online searching with no success..but I cannot imagine that I am the only one having this problem. In the old days, the default Google search in Android would perform the search in the Android browser, allowing you to open multiple tabs from the results. Ever since they made the search a seperate app, we lose that ability. Now, you have to search, open result (launches browser) and navigate back to Google Now to every time you want to open another tab. Is there any way around this?? Is there a way to open multiple tabs on your browser from the Google Now search results? Thanks in advance!

Just use the browser to search

If you're interested in multiple searches, why not just search directly from the browser in different tabs? It would save you a step for sure... especially if you have voice keyboard activated.
