[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
I have done extensive searching in general, Q&A, and development of this forum, as well as Sapphire and have not been able to find an answer to my problem. I have learned that your media files have a delay if you store them on your sd card and that this can be rectified by pushing the media files into your system memory. The /system/media/audio is a read only file and it won't let you push files. This is a simple fix by enabling the read/write of the phone using:

mount -w /system -o remount

From there you can push the files and no lag between calls and hearing the ringtone. Tada. This works perfectly on Cyanogen...The same cannot be said about Hero ROM's.

I have tried several Hero ROM's and I cannot get the read/write to be enabled on the phone when I type in the command. I noticed the first time that the media was located on the /data of the phone. So I changed the ADB command accordingly, and it did not work either. So I thought that it might be because of the location, so I flashed another Hero ROM where I knew the media was located on the /system of the phone. The same thing happened. Where I cannot get it to enable the write capability. I have tried this on several Hero ROM's and cannot figure out why I cannot get this to work.

Any insight is always appreciated, and an answer to this is always more than welcome. Thanks guys.

Im not responsible for any bricked or damaged device, remember to make backups

here are some of my analog clock widget faces with accompanying wallpapers from the screen shots they are compatible with all the Cyan builds and most hero as far as i know.

#1 #2 #3 #4 #5

for installation first extract the zip choose the one you like and rename it to AlarmClock.apk

here are 2 different ways

first from recovery terminal :

mount sdcard

mount system

cp sdcard/AlarmClock.apk /system/app/AlarmClock.apk

reboot

or you can use adb to push the file

heres the download links

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mama2twins:
I have read these threads numerous times for weeks. Also different websites as well... Everytime I think I am getting somewhere, the links are down due to the age of the posts.

Here is the problem.

I was upgrading my i617 with official wm6.1 and it is now frozen at windows screen then shuts off after a few minutes. I used computers running vista and xp. I guess my phone is bricked?? I tried to do a flash although cannot get to any of the original at&T rom links that were posted. I am in serious need of help.

I have been trying to fix this thing for weeks. I have had no issues working on my LG VU with customization, etc. BUt I have some issue with this stupid blackjackII. It is frozen.

I would appreciate any help that you could offer. I have done searches on this website to no avail.

Thanks in advance
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jack_straw:
first post here. just been lurking getting the balls to start playing with my phone.

I need to put a larger microsd(4GB) card in the phone and wonder what specifics I should know. running mount from my mac shows that the card has a msdos(fat16) file system. I don't know if my phone depends on the data that is currently on it and also how are people repartitioning their cards and which fs are they using? Is it necessary to copy the data back onto the card?

thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ricersniper:
all the stuff on the sd is just app files that dont do much. all vital apps are stored of the phone or on the sd card if using the new rom. the stuff on the sd card is just user data pics and such. it can be backed up but it isnt crucial. if you want to take advantage of the new roms and their ability to to app2sd then u need to use the recovery app to format the sd with fat32 ext2 swap.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
I partitioned my 2G SD already and apps2SD is working (on Modaco ROM). I want to switch to a 16G card now. Don't I need to move or copy the apps from the 2G to the 16G? What's the best way to do this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
I'm getting ready to upgrade as well and am curious about this. Easy enough to copy the stuff off the /sdcard partition, but what about the ext2 one? I can figure out how to copy off, but not sure how to get it back without booting the phone.. and booting the phone with that stuff missing is bad news.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] simplyphp:
Perhaps moving your apps back to your phone, then putting the new sd card in and starting the process over?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
I'm actually thinking that I'll do this:

take a nandroid backup

boot the phone, open a shell and copy the app and app-private directories

put in the new card, partition it, copy the files back over the fat32 partition

boot it, ignore force-close warnings, then use a shell to copy back the app directories.

then restore the nandroid backup
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
That sounds pretty good. Let us know how this works. My 16G card arrives tomorrow and I need a game plan!:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Well, I tried the above method (kind of) with mixed results.

1. Made a nandroid backup.

2. Mounted the original SD and copied everything over to my computer.

3. Powered the phone down.

4. Swapped the 2G card with the new 16G.

5. Started the phone in recovery/bootloader mode and partitioned FAT32/EXT2/Swap.

6. Mounted the new SD in USB drive mode while still in bootloader.

7. Copied everything back from my desktop to the SD.

8. Did nandroid restore to the newest backup (finally... see below).

9. Booted the phone.

What I didn't do was open a shell and copy the whole SD card. I just don't know enough about Linux commands to do it. What I ended up with were a bunch of apps that didn't make it over. I had to uninstall/reinstall a lot of apps and replace the broken icons.

One other thing I discovered (which gave me trouble) is that nandroid restores the first folder in the nandroid backup folder, NOT the newest one. After the third attempt to restore my newest backup I figured it out and got rid of the older one (I only had 2). My next attempt restored the right (and only) backup. I wondered for a while if that was what killed my newer apps but they should have been included in the newest backup, right?

Oh well, live and (hopefully) learn.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajones7279:
I'm not sure if the partion will show up when you mount the card, but you could try http://www.fs-driver.org/ and see. And that's weird how nand selected the first folder. I have four backups and it selected my newest one when I restored the other day.

Edit: Hmm, I would if you could just copy the contents of /system/sd.

So you'd do a backup, copy the contents of /system/sd, partition the new card, pop it in, and then put /system/sd back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
I just reformatted and redid the whole phone and I can confirm that:

1) Nandroid does NOT back up /system/sd/app or app-private

2) This procedure works.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajones7279:
That's because nandroid doesn't back up the sd card at all. That's why I was saying you should manually copy it and put it back.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
There was some confusion about whether nandroid would back up and restore the /system/sd/app folder since it was accessible as /data/app. Just confirming that it does not. Presumably doesn't follow symlinks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] esoteric1311:
soooo.... please help edit jonnythan

1. Nandroid backup

2. reboot phone

3. adb shell into the phone

4. cp /sdcard/app & cp /sdcard/app/private (to PC) [or use usb mode to copy to pc?]

5. copy sd card to pc

6. remove and insert new sdcard

7. partition new sdcard

8. In usb mode, copy data from old sdcard to newly partitioned sdcard

9. reboot and ignore force closings

10. adb shell and cp app directories (from where to where? lost me)

11. Restore most recent nandroid

12. reboot and enjoy
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
Yeah, that's it. Here are the details you were fuzzy on:

4) You want to copy the /data/app and /data/app-private directories to somewhere else, since they actually exist on the ext2 partition of the SD card. The way to do this would be:

mkdir /sdcard/backup/

mkdir /sdcard/backup/app

mkdir /sdcard/backup/app-private

cp -r /data/app/* /sdcard/backup/app/

cp -r /data/app-private/* /sdcard/backup/app-private/

Then in step 10:

rm -r /data/app/*

rm -r /data/app-private/*

[chances are those directories are empty already, but you never know]

cp -r /sdcard/backup/app/* /data/app/

cp -r /sdcard/backup/app-private/* /data/app-private

Then reboot and do the nandroid restore.

Enjoy.

I just got my new 32GB micro sdhc card in. Will let you know.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] esoteric1311:
Thanks a ton. Now.. buy that 8 gb class 6 transcend microsdhc card from newegg... only 16.99 shipped... or pony up for a 16gb.. lol.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
Figures the price drops by $5 a couple days after I buy it.

Should be here any day now.....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] esoteric1311:
I hate when that happens. I just pulled the trigger and got the 8gb.... Gonna make a post of the steps so maybe the mods will sticky it. Thanks again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
Got mine today. Procedure I outlined worked fine.

I can confirm that the Transcend is much much faster than the old card. Only took 44 seconds to copy a 236 MB file to it via the phone, compared to 79 for the old card.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chalan30:
where did you get your card? If you dont mind...:D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Dochoppy:
Rooted with out a hitch.

Installed Modaco Rom. Was fine. Installed Ahome. Was fine.

untill this evening..... Constant forcestops with the Android phone app.

Signal bar showed no signal. Would do this on Boot.

Revert to Nandroid back up. Everthing is fine and dandy. Re flash Modaco.

phone app crashes.

Any thoughts?

Oh thought I should has.... though being in this thread thought it was obvious.

Does anyone know how to assign photos to new albums? For example, if I take a bunch of pictures at a wedding, how can I put them all into an album, so when I go into the "Albums" app, I can go into "John and Jane's Wedding," rather than scrolling through hundreds of pictures.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
you can create folders on your sdcard, which are shown as seperate albums then. not really convinient, but works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fornaxivan:
I got the exactly same problem, I did create a new photo folder in my SD card, and its displayed separately only in SD card, once plug and view on the phone, its still combining all the photo in one album .. anyone knows how to do it ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kien:
I have a folder named Pictures in the root of the SD card, then subfolders, each subfolder shows up as a different album.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craig0r:
Ah, that's the key. The folder has to be called "Pictures." I called my folder "Photos" and everything still showed up under the "Camera Shots" album. I renamed it to "Pictures," and *poof!* like magic, I have my separate albums.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ix3u:
so to start off, ill say i know absolutly nothing about linux, but i managed to root and flash modacos custom rom to my phone. i have no idea what any of the commands i used to do it mean, or how to use any of them to do anything else (other than removing a bunch of the crap that sprint puts on the phone, i managed to do that with the help of one of the other threads on here). anyways, ive got that done and am wondering what to do now. i came from a titan and am used to when im done flashing things, everything is totally different. like going from stock rom to having m2d and it being super sweet. with the new rom it seems like there isnt a lot of new stuff going on or a lot of changes. wifi tether works amazingly though. anyways, im done with the pointless ranting and heres what im trying to figure out....

1. are all of my contacts really saved to gmail? like all of the stuff from all of them? so if i hard reset, and just sign into my gmail account, will it reload all of my contacts? im used to pim backup and knowing that its all gonna be there after im done doing stuff (ive never used gmail before and am not sure how it works)

2. if i do a hard reset, do i need to redo everything like root and re-flash the custom rom or will all of that stay intact? will all of the sprint garbage like nascar be back on there after doing the cmd propmt remove of it or will i have to do that again? im not nessicarily worried about the apps that i have installed already so im not worried about that at all, i can find them later.

3. is there anything usefull that i can do with root that will increase performance or anything. like i said earlier, i dont know anything about linux , so is there like a list of comands somewhere to look through that might help me out?

4. does a2sd see your programs and automatically move them to the sd with the proper formatting of the sd card? i did the fat32, ext2 and swap. since i didnt know if it moved them over, i manually uninstalled everything and reinstalled them. after uninstalling everything i had 104 free and after reinstall i had 101.

5. would it be benificial to go ahead and do a hard reset, if the sprint crap is back on on all of that other **** that can be erased is back, get rid of that, and start from scratch to install all of my stuff i want. i dl a lot of **** that i uninstalled before. i hear linux is really good at installing and uninstalling things, but if ive dl'ed 75 things then uninstallled them, is there gonna be any garbage left on my phone from it? i know there was a lot of garbage left on the sd before i formated. actually, there was **** on there (on the sd) from progs i dl'ed and uninstalled awhile ago, even after formating so im thinging a hard reset would be helpful.

im sure ill have a lot more questions about this whole linux/android stuff sooo.....if people are trying to be helpful and help me out that would be awesome. if your going to be an asshole and blast me for my nubbish questions, dont bother.

thanks in advance

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecodemonk:
The super-custom ROMS are on their way, they just take some time (we only got root this past weekend afterall!)

1.) Some contacts are saved to your phone, but I believe the default is to save it to gmail. You can check by going into the People App, click menu->View and the numbers should show you how much is on google and how many are on your phone.

2.) I'm afraid I'm not sure on a hard reset...I use Nandroid and if all else fails, the RUU to recover (Nandroid is just a snapshot in time...it will be however it was when you backed it up when you restore....while the RUU puts it back to true "factory", as if you just pulled it out of the box).

3.) There's a few things you can do to the UI settings that can increase performance, but the real performance gains are pending the release of the CDMA Kernel by HTC for us to play with and port some of the performance changes that were done to the GSM Kernel (Google for Teknologic's Kernel 1.8...it's included in MoDaCo 2.9). Teknologic kept a very good changelog and site describing some of the things he did and why. :)

4.) I have no experience with A2SD, but there's a bunch of threads about it...hopefully one of them will have teh answer you seek?

5.) I suppose a hard reset couldn't hurt...it would certainly rule a lot of things out when troubleshooting. I download a lot of apps too only to find I didn't like them enough to keep them and removed them. From what I can tell, it does clean up the application files pretty thoroughly on the OS partitions...the SD card I believe most apps leave alone on uninstall just to be careful not to delete too much because the SD card is designed for people to access and drop files onto, whereas the OS is meant to be managed by the OS...so it's just being careful to leave data on the SD card to play it safe rather than risk deleting someone's favorite picture of their kid or something. :P

Xda has been one of the more gentle forums I've seen in a long time. You're in good hands here. :) Hopefully some of that info was useful...if not, someone else will likely be along shortly to give better/more complete answers. ^_^

Manila Language Packages

ROM Additions #2:

SIP Menu: enable other input methods

This mod enables other input methods in the SIP menu.

BUT the menu entry "Touch Input Settings" stops working.

You can reach the EzInput Settings under

Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Input

Go back to original state by simply uninstalling it and soft resetting.

Download : View attachment 251279

View attachment 251280

Language Packs:

I have created packages (cabs) with all available Manila 2.5.1920 language files.

Simply install the according package and do a soft reset

These packages should work with every Manila/Sense 2.5. ROM! I have not tested all Packages (only english, german, russian). But they should work.

UPDATE 13.11.2009 (1.1): Fixed SMS and other notification issues (Thx @ DMOLITIO), all packs updated!

UPDATE 28.11.2009 (1.2): Updated language files to MN 2.5.1921 + amarullz mod

0403 Catalan 1.2

0405 Czech 1.2

0406 Danish 1.2

0407 German 1.2

0408 Greek 1.2

0409 English 1.2

040a Spanish Traditional 1.2

040b Finnish 1.2

040c French 1.2

040e Hungarian 1.2

041b Slovak 1.2

041d Swedish 1.2

041f Turkish 1.2

0816 Portuguese 1.2

0c0a Spanish 1.2

Russian language packs with many muis:

This is a dirty hack, to translate the most of the EXT (Manila, Messaging, Leo Apps,...) into russian. The main system remains original. The cabs replace the original 0409/0407 muis. The good thing is, that they can be uninstalled without problems.

0419 Russian pack for WWE Rom 1.2

0419 Russian pack for GER Rom 1.2

Here some russian screenshots:

The following packs are not compatible with this rom, due to the lack of according nls and fonts:
