[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ohene10:
Hello all,

So I've been digging through the site for a week or so before i made the plunge to Root my stock Magic. I bought at v1.5, updated to 1.6 (before I new I wanted to Root). I have since gone back to 1.5, created back up with Cyanogen, Flashed, Wiped and am now at the point where Im trying to load my new Rom (Cyanogen's latest) via update.zip.

Problem is, Im using a mac so there is no zip extension by default. I add the extention, plug the SD into my phone, boot to recovery and attempt to install but I fails displaying: "E:Can't access open/sdcard/update.zip (bad) Installation aborted"

Any idea's? I've seen a couple recommenations to rename minus "zip" or reformat the SD card. None of which have helped. Im currently sitting at v1.5 rejecting the Tmobile 1.6 system update messages a couple times an hour!!! *sigh*
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sitimber:
if your using a recent recovery rom you should have choose zip option

so just download cy rom leave name as is then put in root of sd boot to recovery and choose zip
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ohene10:
Thanks for you response.

I am using CyanogenMod v1.4 Recovery. I have the option to "apply any zip from SD" but nothing is displayed in the list unless its named "update.zip" I had other files on the card that don't show up. In fact, Cyanogen's last update links to a Wiki that doesn't even instruct you to rename the new Rom's to 'update' but again, my SD doesnt display them.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Anartic:
Is the zip on the root of your card? You should probably redownload the CM rom and put that one you redownloaded on your sdcard without renaming it or anything. That might work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sitimber:
how do you copy the file across

phone in recovery mode or phone fully booted

if the first you will need to reboot back to recovery after you copied it accross to show

you could fully format your card fat32 if your using cy rom mount sd card and copy just the cy rom across to the card remember to backup card first
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ohene10:
I tried 2 options. 1)Fully booted via usb into the card and 2)removing card and mounting via a Card Reader to my Mac. In both cases I booted to Recovery Mode on the phone and had the same result.

As far as formating the card, its not stock, its an 8 gig that I formated via the phone's erase/format function. Is that not sufficient?

In regards to cy's ROM Im not able to access it after I backup with the apk i have (never get the "Load Custom Rom" button, which is why im using cynoagens.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ohene10:
Yup...had already tried that too. *sigh* SD card wont see anything unless its named 'update.zip'.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sitimber:
try the amon_ra recovery

http://rapidshare.com/files/291689411/recovery-RA-magic-v1.2.3G.img 32b phone

Copy recovery-RA-magic-v1.2.3H.img to a location where fastboot can find it.

Boot your Magic into fastboot mode (boot while holding BACK)

Connect your Magic via usb to your pc/mac/...

fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your device)

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-magic-v1.2.3H.img (remember to change the H to a G if you have 32b)

when booted to recovery

partition card via this

than go to bottom of menu and select mount sd card

copy file across and reboot back to recovery

select choose.zip and ???????
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jsnyng:
I'm assuming the quoted statement above is still true. I flash via a Mac all the time, so here's what I would do if I were you.

Have the phone booted into your standard ROM.

Plug in the USB cable.

Pull the top menu down on your phone and choose Mount USB.

You should see a new volume in Finder on your Mac (Mine is called no name)

Put the TWO files required for Cyanogenmod on the root of that volume (one of the files is called HTCRootedBase something or other.zip and the other is Cyanogen's actual changes)

Power off the phone after the file copy is complete.

Unplug the USB.

Reboot into recovery by holding the Home&Power button.

Choose apply any zip

Select the HTCRootedBase file first.

Let it do its thing.

When it says "Install from SD complete", run apply any zip again.

Choose the Cyanogen zip file.

When it says "Install from SD complete", reboot the phone.

Be PATIENT. It may take 5 minutes for the phone to reboot, but as soon as you see the blue Android logo with the guy on the skateboard you can start doing the happy dance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ohene10:
Forgive my ignorance but Im completely new to this. After fastbooting and connecting to my Mac Im stumped....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ohene10:
Unable to install the ROM...same error message: "E:Can't access open/sdcard/HTC_ADP_1......zip (bad) Installation aborted"
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sitimber:
can you try another sd card
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ohene10:
Ok, problem solved! It seems my Mac was not correctly downloading the files in the zip format even though i was manually changing the extention. Luckily i have Parallels so I downloaded via XP and added the correct zip files to my sd from there and success! Thanks for all your help!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] sitimber:

As I have had it with the crappy sound quality coming from the 3.5mm mini jack out, I was hoping a proper Bluetooth headset should offer less hiss...

Any suggestions? Or is there an easier way to get rid of the crappy sound quality?

Does anyone know when will MS launch this version of OS ? Really would like to test on it or see how does it looks like.. :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukon:
If I understood it right, is the OS still under development. So you will probably not see much from it untill next year.. I guess
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neowkewl:
jea in half 2010 is release... win7 mobile vs iphone

it will be f**king good :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuneee:
Microsoft will start sending builds to OEMs to begin testing in Q1 2010. WM7 will be released in Q3 2010. I expect to see builds out sometime in Q1....however, I'm not too sure these builds will run on anything presently out besides the HTC HD2 because the CE kernel would have been recompiled for ARMv7 cores.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodigiez:
and that will be great. what is coming out from iphone next year to fightfwith android 2.0 and winmo7 ... and ppl will start porting their hd2 to android 2.0 and then to winmo7... lol
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipporek:

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodigiez:
why ? where did u get this info ?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipporek:
Thought I read somewhere b4 that WM7 would require a motion sensor, which X1 doesn't have. But well, I could be wrong.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medzz:
I think it will be available for xperia, saw a advertisment of the wm 7 on youtube lol guess which phone popped up? x1 :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuneee:
It's a very technical requirement.

The Windows CE kernel, very integral part of Windows Mobile, is being compiled for ARMv7 for Windows Mobile 7 (thought to be based on CE6.0 or CE7.0). Currently Windows Mobile 6/6.1/6.5, the CE (CE 5.X) kernel is compiled for ARMv6 which runs on many chipsets today (Qualcomm 720X for example).

ARMv7 architectures (ie. Snapdragon, Cortex A8, NVIDIA Tegra) are backwards compatible with ARMv6 which is why the HTC Touch HD2 (Snapdragon) can run Windows Mobile 6.5. However, ARMv6 architectures (X1, TP1/2, Touch HD, etc) are not compatible with ARMv7 code (missing/different instructions).

So unless a very smart cook can somehow recompile code (need the source code) or combine different parts, there will be no WM7 for any current windows mobile device besides the HTC HD2.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudegar:
x1 didn't get wm6.5 officially if it will get wm7 which will prob not be out until a year from now don't expect it to come from official sources.....
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Sid:
Min requirements for WM7 is 1Ghz CPU (actually because of the instruction set), but also G-sensor and compass. HD2 maybe. Xperia no way.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CommanderThor:
Well you say processors like Tegre will be able to run WM 7, but i checken and Tegra is still ARM v6...

Anybody has any real source saying Wm 7 will be only for ARMv7?

As for G-semsor multitouch and sucks, that is all softwere, you can turn this things off, so apat from procesor, nothing else matters for WM7 to run X1, onl ARM v6 code is needed, all else can be done by cooking.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipporek:
Uh.... we're talking about Windows Mobile 7, not Windows 7.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shimpuu:
Come on Guys!

Please dont speculate about things there was lightyears ahead. Wait untill the time will come. We dont have seen WinMo 6.5 official on X1 yet, therefore we think about other things, which atm is morge important.

with best reguards.

sorry for my poor english
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CommanderThor:
Well lightyears ahead you say, but i am certain i will have WM 7 on Xperia in abaut 3 months:) XDA does miracles:)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shimpuu:
Certainly the most x1 user will it and im sure that the devs find a way to port it on x1. But except a few screenshots no specification of WinMo 7 was published. Therefore hope that the x1 get an official 6.5 Update. I think, this will reveal the way to WM7.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudegar:
wm7 is based on ce6 rather then ce5 which wm5 to 6.5 are based

and the step from ce4 to ce5 ment that cooking was not enough as the driver

base changed and devices which didn't have leaked bata's never got wm5+ like alpine vs. himalaya

so if the same thing happens with wm7 few devices no matter what will ever get it
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipporek:
Well, in the first place, I doubt there will ever be WM6.5 official on X1. Think SE have given up on X1 now that there's X2.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Redu:
hello,

is there a way to hide the call history on home tap with manila 2.1 GenY - like in energys rom?

thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] neoceltic:
Yes, it's possible.

If the Manila version is WWE, unzip the file and overwrite it into windows directory, and if there is no missed call and no appointments, the fields are blank, otherwise they show the missed call you have or the appointments.

PS: disable manila first. and use Total commander to overwrite. ;)

ok! german manila and no missed call and calendar, let me think...and wait....:cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Redu:
thanks, but ... no this is not exactly what i mean. in energy rom, if there is no missed call, the callhistory is invisible(or behinde the clock maybe) and the calendar bottom is where the call history normaly is. and if there is a missed call, the call history pops down, and you got the normal look..

.. and the manila is german
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] neoceltic:
sorry, did some testing but didn't find a suitable solution for that. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Redu:
but you know what i mean do you?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] neoceltic:
I think it's something similar to

mwalt2 Panoramic background

but without panoramic :p and with the calendar shown.

There are some _manila files to modify and I didn't find a working solution.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] zindo:
what is the file please??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] neoceltic:
well, I've removed it, because it wasn't suitable for that porpouse. :o

Well i am missing the small Keybaord that was always present in the original Roms.

I have searched different forums but still could not find any cab.

Does anyone know where to get it?

[Hero CDMA General] pitmanr2003:
i rooted and went to modaco. also in the recovery mode i put create fat32 ext2 and swap particion. but i dont think my apps are on my sd card. i download app2sd and used it and it doesnt confirm that it did anything. i check im internal memory on phone and it is always 144mb or 145mb even after insalling around 20 apps. but when i unmount my sd card all apps still work.
[Hero CDMA General] ajones7279:
If you're on Modaco and you created the partition, it works. Don't worry about it. It's automated and you don't have to download Apps2sd from the market because it's already included in the rom. If it's ALWAYS at 145 after installing 20 apps, that means it isn't taking away from the internal memory and it's working...And you'd have to reboot after removing the sd card for it to change. I don't think it's a good idea though.
[Hero CDMA General] pitmanr2003:
ok they are on my sd card, i removed card and it locked up. will never do that again. had to pull battery and then it wouldnt get past sprint screen. had to hold end call and answer call and reset device. then it lost all my apps. had to re download and set up all my shortcuts. uggg
[Hero CDMA General] pitmanr2003:
what about games. seems like they are installed on phone is this correct
[Hero CDMA General] diesel556:
Apps installed to the SD card reside in /system/sd/app and /system/sd/app-private. You may browse those directories to see which applications have been migrated. As ajones7279 said, you don't need to download AppsToSD if you are using the Modaco rom.

If you would like to move an application from the sd card back to internal memory, the steps to do so are in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=512743.
[Hero CDMA General] BrianDigital:
can someone tell me why my apps do not install to the sd card at all?

after I rooted I partitioned my sd, then flashed and now it doesn't install to the sd card?
[Hero CDMA General] BrianDigital:
wait I think it is working, I installed acouple apps then quickly check my internal memory it goes down, then I went in and did a look for cmd

cd /system/sd/app

ls

I it showed all the apps I installed, after that I checked my internal memory it went back up so that is normal?
[Hero CDMA General] BrianDigital:
nevermind it doesn't work, internalmemory keeps going down wtf
[Hero CDMA General] rockcrawler:
Mine show there as well, but under setting > sd card and phone storage and check the available space under internal phone storage, it just keeps dropping. I am down to 117mb. all the way from around 140 before I installed any apps. I dont think that the apps2sd integration is working properly.
[Hero CDMA General] :
Same here. But I just hard reset and my apps came back and I was at 140. But now when I add more apps it still goes down. Now I'm at 135.
[Hero CDMA General] nelson8403:
Just because the apps are installed to the SD card doesn't mean they don't store things on the phone.. cache is stored on the phones, theres a /data/data folder on the phone that the apps populate as well, it just doesn't take AS MUCH space on your phone as a non appstosd

also to make sure your apps are working go into your adb shell, type in

cd /data/app
pwd

cd /data/app-private
pwd

What this will do is go to your /data/app folder and because with appstosd that is a symbolic link to /system/sd/app the PWD (present working directory) will display /system/sd/app, if PWD shows /data/app you are not running appstosd

Just tested this and I am not running apps2sd :( I probably need to try to format my SD card again, I made did the dual partition from the recovery menu, but this was after I flashed MoDaCo's ROM...that's probably why!

Should I partition, then reflash the ROM?
[Hero CDMA General] ajones7279:
Yep.

Take.this.10.character.post.limit.ha!
[Hero CDMA General] diesel556:
Yep. The answer is in the first post :). I'm not sure what directory to us in place of "/system/intmem/app", maybe "/data/app"?

su
cp /system/sd/app/[the app you want to move] /system/intmem/app/
rm /system/sd/app/[the app you want to move]

[Hero CDMA General] XAnimal:
I'm in the same boat
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
Have you both checked the /data/btips folder for core files?
[Hero CDMA General] XAnimal:
yea which column is the file size though
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
Doesn't really matter. The core.xxxx files are about 6.5 MB each. Get rid of them.

To be more thorough, this command will list all files and their sizes:

ls -al

To remove a file, use this:

rm filename

For example:

rm /data/btips/core*

Removes all files in the /data/btips directory with a name starting with the word core.
[Hero CDMA General] XAnimal:
I tried it I don't have any core.xxxxx files to start with just cleared my data/boot-cache/ to fix filenames and now my space is 77 MB and I know my apps2sd is working atleast for some of them
[Hero CDMA General] raiderinks:
I am completely confused. I got through Modaco yesterday. Today I added the partitions from the recovery menu. I reboot and get into adb shell, do the PWD check and it shows that a2sd is working. However, when I go into settings and look at the system memory available space, it is 39 MB. My phone is also running slow as hell.

What is this about btips and where in the heck are you finding this?

So I reinstalled the modaco rom, still 39 MB. Still slow as hell. What am I doing wrong?

Also, when I performed the partition, and redid Modaco, all of my apps survived. Does that seem incorrect? Everything has been pretty cut and dry up until this point. I am completely confused now though.
[Hero CDMA General] redram38:
How did you clear /data/boot-cache/ I see that it shows lots of the same files I installed from the market along with many other things I do not know what they do. How do you clear this and will it hurt anything.

I had 136 meg right after I installed the unofficial MoDaCo 1.2 Rom. I have intalled about 14 files and I am down to 127 now. My PWD is showing that APPS2SD is working right, I just don't get why the space drops like it is not.
[Hero CDMA General] Lappie2010:
Dont forget there are alot of cache files that get put into the /system area. I got an app called CacheMate and it deletes alot of uneeded files in many cache folders with one tap. For instance, I didnt use it for three days on purpose and I had 109 MB of free space. I used it just now and I wen from 109 to 117MB. I may or may not do as much as you, so perhaps your caches are filling quicker.

I recommend trying a cache clearing app and see if your space improves.
[Hero CDMA General] Dan330:
hi..

i have done the test and it does show that the private apps2sd is there, but....

I have a memory widget that lets me see memory use percentage. It goes up very fast as I load in apps. It does not seam like it is going into the swap SD directory.

When I had Modaco 1.3 with apps2sd it was moving a lot to SD.

Now I am running DamageTrev 2.0or2 with apps2sd. I can see the sd/app directory is available.

How can we test if the Apps2sd app is running correctly? How to see if it is really moving stuff to the SD card.. As much as it can?

Thanks

[Hero CDMA General] Dan330:
hi,

first did you partition the sd card correctly for Ap2sd to work?

warning: you will loose all your data on the SD card, when you partition and format it.

if you have installed DC 2.08.1, then there is an app in your phone now.. "DCconfig"

do a little research on that app to get A2sd working. You will need to reboot your phone, once you have that set correctly.
