[Hero CDMA Android Development] TF1984:
Yeah I found somewhere that it would obviously erase the card data. I am really trying to figure out if the apps2sd is the same as "swap" since I keep finding bad things about swapping.

Are you using apps2sd?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
It does.

I went back and read the "APPS2SD Rant" in flipz thread and it says: "Now with all of THAT said -- this rom officially has and supports Apps2SD".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
No, it's not the same as using swap. It works fine, don't worry about it.

AppsToSD works best with a Class 6 card, since the class 6 cards are faster.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Yes, I'm using it. I have read flipzmode's rant about why he doesn't like Apps2SD. I have had no problems with it.

When I ran it with the modaco/obelisk79 ROM it seemed to keep the phone relatively speedy, even with a ton of apps installed. I am using FreshROM 1.0 now and I ended up uninstalling a few apps because of lag.

EDIT: I am not inferring that FreshROM is any slower. I think the problem is on my end! BTW, I am using a 16G class 6 card.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TF1984:
Unfortunately I think mine is not a class 6, it's just an 8gig standard micro sd. (PNY brand).

Anyway, so i went in recov. mode and formatted to the ext/fat/swap partition. I reloaded my card with previous data. Is that all I need to do? is there no setting I need to monitor or adjust?

and also, will my current apps get pushed to the sd or is there a process I should follow to move them to the sd?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nick325i:
I just did this and it pushed my apps from what I can tell. My internal storage number went from around 90mb used to 52mb. Now my real question is if I wanted to undo this.. what kind of options/headache am I looking at ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
I think reformat is the only way back. Anyone else confirm this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
Current apps should get pushed to the SD. To make sure it's working, pull up an adb shell and do:

cd /data/app

pwd

You should see "/system/sd/app" spit back at you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TF1984:
Well yeah you would certainly have to reformat. But in addition to that you would need to re-install your apps, since they would have been removed from the card.

I was reading somewhere that you can change a setting to zero which causes the hero to pull the apps back to internal storage, leaving you not needing to re-install. cAn't remember where setting is or where i found it...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TF1984:
yeah I can't remember how to do all the adb shell junk, oh well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nick325i:
If I reboot into recovery.

Mount my sd card to back it up.

Format the SD card to regular.

Restore a previous non apps2sd nandroid backup.

copy my regular files back to SD.

THis will reverse it properly right ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] okcppcnut:
Don't mean to hijack this thread but since the title is "for beginners" I figured this would be a good place to ask.

Everything I've read about apps2sd talks about using a custom ROM. I have a rooted Sprint Hero w/the Sprint ROM. Do I need to install a custom ROM to use apps2sd or will it work with the stock ROM?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] gu1dry:
You need to install a custom ROM that supports A2SD, like Fresh 1.0 & MoDaCo 1.3a.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
if you were good enough with linux you could figure out how to union the folders. I'm not and few seem to be. Best bet is with a custom rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Sausageman:
I set up apps2sd a couple of months ago and had about 120meg of internal memory free. I've since upgraded to modaco 3 (from 2.8), and the free memory has fallen to below 40meg.

Is there any obvious reason why this would be, and what I can do to solve it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
There is no MoDaCo 3.0 (or 2.8) for the CDMA Hero.

All the custom ROMs for CDMA use the symlink trick for apps2sd. I don't know what the GSM ones do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Lappie2010:
Fwiw. I've found a few apps that don't work well with it. I just had to move the new Facebook app to system/app or it force closed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mkeyslehman:
As for card speed (Class 6, etc), someone mentioned on one of these boards that Heros only have a Class 2 reader. I just got the Transcend Class 6 8Gb card myself for Christmas and used Crystal DiskMark to run speed tests between it and the stock card, as well as through a Kingston USB card reader for a 2nd opinion. While the Transcend did have slightly better write performance on the phone, read performance was nearly identical to the stock card. The Transcend did MUCH better than the stock when connected to the Kingston USB reader.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Someone claimed it as part of an attack on HTC, and when asked for some sort of proof, slunk away.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] doeboy711:
Ok my visual voicemail disappeared on me. I partitioned my SD card and backed up before I did it. I was just trying to do the whole app2sd on my using the fresh 1.0. When i finished it was gone. Is there anyway to get this back?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] afazel:
So if I'm using apps2sd and I want to get a new, larger, faster SD card how do I back up my apps so I don't have to reinstall all of them on the new SD card?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] beyondinferno:
Does apps2sd not push stock apps? I checked the apps folder (/system/sd/app/) and there is only the apps a dled from market.... yet, it seems like it's messed with music (took a couple trys for it to find music even though they are in the same dir.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bronxknight28:
You're right inferno, for whatever reason I 4get about all (or at least most) stock apps are in the internal memory of the phone, I don't think it's that big of a deal, but that's just me
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Of course not. Why would it need to?

/system and /data are two separate filesystems.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Nandroid+ext backup.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bad4ss:
I know this is probably a noob question, but in recovery mode I don't get the "Format SD Card" option.

I have a GSM hero all the options I get when going to nandroid system recovery are:

reboot system now

apply sd card: update.zip

apply any zip from sd

wipe data/factory reset

nandroid v2.2 backup

restore latest backup

repair ext filesystems

That's it, nothing else. How do I do the "Format SD card: Ext2+FAT+swap" option?

Do I have to press anything other than home+on buttons? if so which one's and how doi get that option? please help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonnythan:
This is the CDMA Hero forum. You want to go in the other Hero forum.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bad4ss:
sorry about that, but this subject isn't in the other forum.

Just found out you have to put on amon-RA img to get the extra menus. so that's solved.

Just out of interest, which is better ext2 to ext3 OR ext3 to ext4? :confused:

What are the pro's and con's of both, I think the same answer would be for both gsm and cdma.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] skanndelus:
ext4 is the best... wikipedia told me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dan330:
hi ....

I got my Sprint Hero.. yesterday.. been.. playing with it.. non-stop...

It was rooted

MoDaCo 1.1 ROM

Updated to 1.3 ROM...

Should have Apps2sd...

But.. I went into recovery boot...

and did not see the exact option.. to do this

I see: "Partition sdcard"

select it.. and i was presented with 3 choices:

- Partition SD

- Repair SD:ext

- SD:ext2 to ext3

NO other options with "swap" in it!

So.. what am I missing??

thanks...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dan330:
hi again...I found out..

just select ... partition SD... and the system will automatically give you Fat32 + ext2 + swap

How are the 3 partitions used anyways???

I want to make sure.. because.. I will be ordering my 16gb class 6 sdcard.

I want to know how I should ... cut it up...

my guesses are....

Fat32 = where we can store or files, like music and photos, and stuff...so should be the biggest partition

Swap = is where the Hero... moves some of its.. loaded applications

Ext2 = ?????????? what goes in here??? and who has access to it??????

When I get my 16gb sdcard.... how should i best cut it up? what do you think of this setup.....

Fat32 = 13gb

ext2 = 1gb (still not sure how big this needs to be)

Swap = 2gb

I have setup.. the swap on the current 2gb sdcard....

when I get the new 16gb sdcard....

I am guessing.. I can...

re-partition it.. with swap = 0gb.. so all the files are forced back to the phone...

then put in the new card... and then partition it with swap = 2gb

and all the files will be pushed from the phone back to the new card....

Is that a correct plan of attack???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oggg:
apps2sd Fresh 1.1

hello,

I had my sd correctly partitioned and then installed fresh 1.1. However, when I install new apps and check the internal phone storage available space in settings, the space is running down as I install new apps.

I ran the following commands in terminal, as suggested:

cd /data/app

pwd

and I got: "/system/sd/app" back at me.

Therefore, I suppose the apps should be getting saved to the sd.

I am confused, are my apps being saved to the sd?

thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bronxknight28:
Dan the apps you download go to ext2
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Did you read the whole thread? No, of course you didn't.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Dan330:
Thanks Bronx

then I should give more space to ext2 ...

maybe 3gb.. should be enough

and for swap.. which then is the area that android uses to cache apps that are currently being used.???

give this space about 500mb????
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
No, you should leave the defaults alone until you have a reason to change them. There will never be a need for that much space.

Again, leave the defaults alone. You do not need to put swap on your sdcard, it will reduce the life of your card. The recovery will create it for you, but there is no need to use it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oggg:
Yes, I did read the whole thread!

Did you read the whole question???

of course you didn't!!!! if you don't know the answer just ignore the question.

"when I install new apps and check the internal phone storage available space in settings, the space is running down as I install new apps"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
If you had, you'd know the answer.

Which is normal. Your applications are on the sdcard (assuming you partitioned it correctly), but the data structures they create are not.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] adelaney:
I usually feel that there is no stupid question. I believe I have seen the first one though. Congratulations reeeeetard (hangover pronunciation).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oggg:
how come this was the first one?? how about this one:

"Why is this not for Eris posters? Last time I checked, it was a cdma hero. There should only be subtle differences in its rom compared to Sprint"

and then:

"This forum is for cdma heroes. The eris is a cdma hero. If there is an eris forum, show someone where. Don't just say "this is not the Eris section""

what an idiot! hahaha

[HD2 General] Massimiliano_C:
Hi all, I have recently changed my HTC HD for an HTC HD2, but nearly immediately, still without adding any thirdy party program I am nearly systematically facing with the following problem

I am failing opening the received emails (using Microsoft Excange Server Setting) using HTC Sense (i.e. I mean by clicking on the e-mail).

The only way to read emails is then go to the email tab then select ALL from the left bottom corner and then press one of the email in the proposed list to read/open it. This is my actual configuration:

OS = 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82), Manila = 2.5.192116190, ROM = 1.48.408.1 (71294) ITA, ROM Date = 11/16/09,Radio = 2.05.51.05_2, Protocol = 15.28.50.07U.

Can someone help me ?

Many thanks in advance for your kind support :-)))

Cheers,

Max
[HD2 General] GibStorm:
I am experiencing the -exact- same problem.

Going to the email tab and tapping on the envelope on the screen does nothing. I can see that it registers the tap, since the envelope 'bounces'. The email doesn't open up like it normally would though.

I have no clue why this keeps hitting me :S I have tried hard resetting 4 times, and it keeps happening.

Someone please provide some insight in to what is breaking in Sense when it comes to the 'open email' functionality.

OS: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)

Tap Start, then Lock. Unlock your device and hopefully bug is gone (till it next appears and you redo the steps).
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
This very bug has appeared with 1.48 ROMs...

Together with another bug: The lockscreen did not work unless you would force the device to lock using the soft button from the start menu.

Once done, the lockscreen bug plus the mail not opening bug magically disappeared, but I have not seen any thread so far with a clear explanation for the exact reason...
[HD2 General] trikanth:
It fixed

Well I don't know what this will do...but what ever it fixed the issue, I never had that issue with version 1.43 and I have updated ROM to 1.48...did that bring in that bug ?
[HD2 General] tnyynt:
I've had this on my stock 1.43 too.
[HD2 General] GibStorm:
Wow, it worked. Can't believe it was that simple. I guess this will be fixed by HTC in the next ROM update. Seems to be related to the autolock when you put the device in standby, which explains the randomness to some extent...

Thanks tnyynt!
[HD2 General] Massimiliano_C:
Hi guy, let me try then :-) I was becoming crazy as I did several hard resets attempting to identify which (installed) programs may generate this issue, so installing one by one, resetting etc. but without effect. Suddenly the problem re-appears ... I will re-install everything and let you known accordingly. Anyway just for your info I have opened an official ticket on HTC website about this topic: they suggested me to reset, install latest hotfixes and the new ROM, that today seems to be disappeared from the site, but obviously they did not solve my issue yet :-(
[HD2 General] Belzebuth.:
Same here, I even Hard reseted my phone twice, and was going to do it again...;)

Thanks a lot, tnyynt...:D
[HD2 General] Massimiliano_C:
Hi guys, I have terminated the re-installation of all my preferred software but this time, following tnyynt indications, before all I have installed the following CAB I found here: "Touch X autolock disable". As result, during the installation of each program and in the end once terminated the restoring of all my preferred applications it seems the problem does not occur anymore so apparently without the need to do the trick suggested by tnyynt. I would you suggest to try ... just in case it works for you too :-) Thanks again tnyynt :-)

[HD2 General] Archer:
But you've obviously read the whole thread and therefore know how to fix the issue?
[HD2 General] Schooleydoo:
Just come across this issue a few days back, but with a twist -

Firstly the lock/unlock fix detailed on the previous page does not work for me, nor a soft reset. I am loathe to hard reset, since I am suffering none of the other issues many people are (sms etc).

As described on the previous page; on the email tab of HTC Sense the email does register the request to open, as it "bounces" when tapped, but will not open in poutlook.

I noticed it, but wrote it off as one of the many quirks of these phones, expecting all to be well in a few hours. But after almost a week I noticed I was not receiving mail at all. Wanting to check the settings, I opened Pocket Outlook via the start menu, and found that all of my mail accounts had disappeared! Leaving the default outlook demo account only. But I can still view and scroll through (but not open) existing mail via Sense.

I know I am going to have to HR, but I am curious to know if anyone else has suffered the issue, and if a trigger/solution has been found.
[HD2 General] elburna:
MailAccountRepairProgram

In the case of damaged Mail-Accounts u can try this Program before Hardresetting... Quite easy and works 100%
[HD2 General] Schooleydoo:
Thanks, never seen this program before. It worked, to a degree. It restored my folders to Poutlook, but the restored accounts have lost the connection settings (pop,smtp). I think that was user error though :D

Thanks for taking the time to upload :)
[HD2 General] elburna:
I should have said, that this prog is mainly for making lost accounts visible again in order to delete them afterwards with the same prog (like in the case when they where visible in manila but not in outlook). Never tried to use a repaired account again (always deleted them and created a new one). But if you say, you only needed to reenter the connection-settings... nice to know that this works :)

Go the following Key:

Change the following value from:

TO:

"Read"="\\Windows\\read_note.htm"

change Compose to:

"Compose" = \\Windows\compose_note.htm"

And Is not working either.

Any clue???
[HD2 General] drmolle:
I Found some clues with my email problems: Since my Medical applications (Up to Date and CHM Reader) use old Internet Explorer, they don´t work with new builds. However if you use the fix (that simply takes one step back in I.E. version) ypou cill nobe able to read emails since Pocket Outlook seems to use New Internet Explorer fetures. So every time I need to read a medical book Y need to install the cab and then uninstall it If I want to see my emails.

Any solution???

No, tapping the envelope is not supposed to open the mail. The envelope is for you to switch among more than one accounts (if you have 4 POP3 accounts, you have 4 envelopes). To open the mail, tap the preview itself.

The soft lock worked for me too ( ROM 1.48)

The soft lock worked for me too ( ROM 1.48)
[HD2 General] pa2ra:
This may sound a bit strange, but the following happened to me a few times today (HD2, ROM 1.43 NL):

1) I put my HD2 on the table

2) I call my HD2 using a different phone ('A')

3) I pick up the HD2, but let the phone ring

Suddenly, I can hear myself on the HD2's speaker when I speak through 'A', but the phone still rings, and when I listen in A's earpiece, the phone also rings... so there is no connection yet!

What causes this behavior? Tested this with a colleague. He could not hear me, but I could hear him talking, whithout picking up the phone and in his phone, there was no connection too (he could hear it ringing).....

Very odd...

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] SoulMan72:
Can you use the GSM themes on the CDMA Hero?

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mkeyslehman:
No, because a theme replaces entire programs (or APKs) on your phone. These programs control various functions, and although the architecture is nearly identical, there are differences "under the hood" that will cause force-closes.

If there's something you like, you can always make a request for someone to port a specific theme.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ELIMINATED:
Without trying to take over the thread, it would be great if someone could port over Manup's Prodigal Sun theme form the G1. That theme has everything. I know it will work with the Hero if you use Open Home, but I like the Hero features and Open Home turns the Hero into a G1. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
I tried this before we had our own sub-forum. When I first got my hero and thought heros were heros. Your not gonna have a good time. So from then on I ALWAYS do a nandroid backup before flashing anything.

To edit the jar filed you have to undex them and redex them. There are discussions on this. If you want the easy way, search for the colorChange.jar
