@Kendong2

i have amon_ra 1.3.2, does it work with that?

adb shell

sdparted -es 1024M -ss 0

is this for memory partition? can i do that without the use of pc since everytime i tried with adb i failed :D

Btw how should i install amon_ra 1.3.2? With Flash Recovery? If yes, do you know what "version" supports installing? I have 9/9/09 version but it is the fixed version and it doesnt work

@gugi_sat

You copied everything apart from apps (if u had it partitioned) i guess

thats what i had done but my apps werent copied, but if your apps were on ur internal memory then u copied everything completely :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
see here for installation. you can use the first option since you have the image already installed. should work with 1.3.2 also, but it doesn't support ext4. word is that ext2 is recommended for the partition, as it doesn't stress the sdcard as much as ext3 or 4 does. you can do it on a pc, but you need to find out in what order to create the partitions, 1. ext 2. fat or vice-versa.

correct.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shei77:
if i partitioned with 1.3.2 Amon_ra i should have an SD with fat32 + ext2 + swap...

so my apps are on ext2, the best ext i could possibly have them?:P so i shouldnt download newest amon ra?

so, how do i make a nandroid backup? my nandroid v2.2 says only backup, does that mean apps aswell? also after backup, i copy my files to my pc, put new SD card, copy backup folder on SD and restore backup on new card?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
better update to 1.5.2, i can confirm that it works perfectly with an ext2 partition if you select nandroid + ext. have been switching roms all day ;)

use the commands i gave you, then the swap partition won't be created, it is not used in mcr3.0.

with 1.5.2 you can also use ext3 or 4, but it is said to age the sdcard faster. i use ext2 on my card.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shei77:
i hope i CAN update to 1.5.2 >.> i had used 3-4 different versions of Flash Rec in order to get it done :P

I dont have nandroid + ext :( so i guess i NEED 1.5.2?:/

When u switch roms and backup you KEEP the apps?:o

I have MCR2.9 btw, should i update amon ra to 1.5.2, backup, copy the backup, flash 3.0 and then restore backup on my new SD?>.>

i dont need ext3 and 4 anw :P whats the difference (and use) of them anw?:S

thx for helping so far btw :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
if you have amon_ra now you can update. see post #5 in this thread.

with nand+ext you keep the apps, that is the beauty of it. make a backup wipe all, test whatever roms you like, after that restore and you're back. it's like having a second hero.

if you make a backup, then flash a rom, then restore your backup you have flashed for nothing. if you want to update your rom make a backup, update the rom, if everything works you can delete the backup. can't be this hard...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shei77:
its not....

i just have 2.73 hero and flashrec doesnt work on my hero :(

i installed amon ra A LONG time ago (even before i realised what rooting was, LOL, i didnt know what i actually did >.>)

and as far as am concerned i tried various versions of flashrec and only one worked :( i am trying now with various flashrec versions.. 09/09/09, 09/11/07 etc etc but i cant get one to work :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
that is why i told you to use the installation method described in the linked post. no need to use flashrec.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shei77:
just a very very stupid question

i have to use the adb shell thing (2nd one, the one to get custom recovery)

where do i type?:( I have to put cmd.exe shortcut into the adb directory folder?:D and then just start it?xD
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shei77:
hello, again :p

i've managed to flash 1.5.2 but whenever i perform nandroid backup i get Error: Run 'nandroid-mobile.sh' via adb

so wut to do? (apart from run that via adb, where i failed since i dont know wtf that it is-.-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
do you have an ext4 partition on your card?

select the "move recovery.log to sd" menu item after you got the error message, then reboot your phone, mount to pc and find recovery.log on your sdcard. give it to us.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] schlagg:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
are you sure you have the latest recovery image? 1.5.2 should contain nandroid v2.2.2, since there were problems with the ext part in v2.2.1.

edit: check it by doing "adb shell mount" while the phone is powered up (not in recovery!). if your result contains a line like this:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd type ext2 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=continue)

then you have an ext partition. the bold part is where you can see which type it is.

also if you don't know if you have an ext partition you most certainly do not have on, in this case why would you try to back it up?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shei77:
tried several reboots and recovery images, i managed to make one working :p i backed up and restore and now i have only 1 current problem

my terminal emulator requires adb shell to install and if i click yes it does nothing and asks me again if i wanna install :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Shei77:
bump with a new question...

i noticed that my SD card is running rather slow, is it a faulty one or should it run properly?

Its a SanDisk 8gb Class 2! Is class 2 really that slower? My old one was 2gb Class 4 and it wasnt running smoothly but not that slow :S

The shop manager told me that i can replace it or "upgrade" it to a better Class card.. Should i just replace it or get an 8GB Class 4/6?

thx :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
you could try replacing, but by definition class 6 should be faster than class 2 or 4. whether this has an effect on your phone, or if it is only marketing fairy tales, or manufacturer lies, who can tell for sure? it varies from card to card, from manufacturer to manufacturer, if i were you i'd get a class 6 card.

Its overriding on the energy rom due to the invisible slider that is installed on that rom, i had problems too. I suggest you either try downloading nrgz stock slider cab first then installing mine.

And the cab file is in the zip file. You should unzip the cab file then install it onto your device followed by a softreset and it should be working then.

here is the wallpaper for everyone

A better solution is to wear your HTC HD2 in a leather case.

Never put your phone in pocket without case.

It may be not convenient when you pick it up, need to use both hands to release phone from case and only then answer call.

BUT! It will look like new. To me it's more important.

Hello,

I bought a HTC Hero from www.simplyelectronics.net

http://www.simplyelectronics.net/mainproduct.php?pid=7525&setcurrency=eur

The problem is that the phone arrived with factory language settings set to either Cestina, English or Polski.

I need to have the Factory setting set to french, to get the french language and french keyboard.

Is it possible to change the default Language set.

I don't want to use "CustomLocale" Because this will only change the language directly, and not set the default factory language.

The issue is that when I select language with the setting i'm stuck with Cestina, English or Polski.

Please Help me to modify those factory Settings.

FREM
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frem:
Nevermind I figured out a way to bypass the issue.

"CustomLocale" + "AnysoftKeyboard".

I configure the language and then uninstall them after.

WinMo has fell so far behind, that I think manufacturers who are using anything but WinMo are doing themselves and their customers a favor.

I'm seriously going to reconsider getting a phone with WinMo in the future. Its pathetic how hard it is to find a good application for anything on this OS. Can't even find a decent facebook app.

Can someone tell me how to prevent email from deleting on server side when using HD2 to check POP email account?

i remmember there is a option to not delete email on server side, but i can't find it now in HD2...
[HD2 General] Som30ne:
Well . . .

Try the following:

Start->E-Mail->Select the account you want->Menu->options->

Click the account->Edit account Setup->5X<Next>->Advanced Settings->

When deletting messages - Select "Keep them on the server"

(I have not tested it, so it would be nice to know if it actually works as expected :))
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
you only can change that using the email icon of Windows Mobile (tap start button left upper corner of the home screen and then tap email). Choose your account, tap menu (right lower corner of the screen), tap extra (scroll through the menu) - tap options - tap your account again - tap send/receive options - tap advanced (lower side of the screen) - and there you will be able to choose to keep messages on the server instead of removing them.

Edit: sorry Som3One, did not see your post! Directions to do it are the same IMHO
[HD2 General] gallusimpudicus:
Some30ne,

I know this is an old (ish) thread but I have been trying to get to the bottom of this problem since I got my HD2 in February.

The instructions above are perfect EXCEPT that the drop-down option "Keep them on the server" does not exist on my phone.

Weird:(

Anyone got any ideas?

I wonder if there is part of the registry that deals with these settings?

Cheers
[HD2 General] kilrah:
The HD2 does NEVER delete POP e-mails after checking them, only after deleting them manually on the phone, and only if the above option is set for it.

If the e-mails disappear after you checked them once with your HD2, it's the server doing it, and it's the server configuration you need to check. For example Gmail archives mail automatically by default once they're retrieved via POP, so they're not in the inbox anymore and "disappear" on the next check. But that can be turned off.
[HD2 General] gallusimpudicus:
Kilrah

Thanks for the reply.

The option to "Keep them on the server" does not appear in the drop down on my hd2. I get "delete them off the server" and "move them to server trash". so one answer is not to delete anything and simply alter the number of messages I am viewing.

I would appreciate having the option "leave them on the server" if anyone can work out how to do this, that would be great.

I wonder if the newer hd2s have fewer mail configuration options for e.g. Safeboxextender doesn't work on my phone whereas other users report this working.

Any help appreciated.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Remember that option only affects mail that you manually delete on the HD2, as theoretically the mail you'd delete would be spam or such, so having those deleted on server side is a plus. But simply don't delete any and you're fine.
[HD2 General] gallusimpudicus:
ok, thanks Kilrah

I agree this is the only option at the moment.

Thanks for your time
[HD2 General] piattj:
on PC??

I found that "do not delete from server" can be ticked on my laptop (the one I synch my HD2 to...) in Outlook setup and that solves the problem posted by OP. So if OP uses Outlook, it should be that simple. Other email clients, I dunno... :confused:
[HD2 General] alex fung:
Are you syncing to Exchange or Outlook? If you Exchange sync, your outlook is making an "Exchange Connection" when you create the account. Otherwise, your outlook is making a POP3 connection. I think your "do not delete from server" implies that you are syncing HD2 to Outlook and Outlook is making a POP3 connection. That's why you need to stop Outlook from deleting the mails on the server.
[HD2 General] BobVila:
Maybe I'm way off base, but I thought that this was normal behavior for pop clients... no way to use IMAP instead?
