there's migration tool from Windows Mobile to Android, check Sprite Migrate! well it covers 3 data areas yet.. and unfortunately there's no way to recover the contacts groups:((

Hi sox

Thanks for the link, can someone help me here. As I'm unsure on how to overcome this, also want to move over sms and call logs if possbile. I'm new to Android may be a step by step.

Thanks in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] papabear:
well, as long as you have contacts on your sim, you should be able to have them and copy when you boot android. Depending on the sim crd you have you can save X amount of sms on it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Fame123:
Hi

I never had any contacts on sim card, they were on the phone?

In this case what can be done?

[Hero, G2 Touch General] ovigt71:
hi everybody. since i got my Hero I'm facing with a many problems: one is I can't assign ring tones to my contacts. i was trying any ring tone from my music, from zedge download, but useless. in contact details is showing the chosen ring tone, but when is calling it will ring default! any advices? does somebody facing with this problem? there is any possibility to be a hardware issue?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Rajahdel:
I've had this problem. the contact number has to be in the same format as the hero shows for incoming calls

if you have the # as (xxx)xxx-xxxx then change to xxxxxxxxxx no () no - then it should work. Worked for me.

How about a list of all known model names? For example the Tmobile Dash is the Excaliber....

would be nice to know what phones are named what to know what forum to look into, could even hyper link the post so it would be something like this....

Excaliber: AKA T-Mobile Dash, (other name), (other name)

ok so i unrooted my phone to stock then used kitchen to auto root it and all worked great. then I put the recovery 1.5.3 i think it was on my root of sd card, and also had fresh 1.1 on it as update.zip

but everytime I apply it i get errors, now EVERYTHING works but I dont have service and settings force close.

should I wipe then install 1.1. or just upgrade from stock wen its rooted?

or maybe try 1.0 first with clean install or wipe?

thanks
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
If I were you, do this. RUU the phone to put it back to complete stock settings. Then, run the Auto-rooter in the Pre-Kitchen. This will put it to the latest recovery image. Then, just flash Fresh 1.1 to it, and then you'll be up to date.
[Hero CDMA General] 702DROID:
you flash the recovery image dif then as if you were flashing a rom
[Hero CDMA General] samrozzi:
wait so put recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2 on the root of card and change name to update and apply that, then delete that off root of card, put on fresh 1.1 rom and name it update then flash that?

can I do a clean install? or just update?
[Hero CDMA General] 702DROID:
1. Find the recovery image you want and MAKE SURE IT IS FOR YOUR PHONE (should say in where you download it what phone it is for).

2. Write down the filename of the recovery image EXACTLY as it is written (i.e. RA-Hero-Recovery-v1.2.2.img).

3. Put the recovery image file on the SD card (not in any folders).

4. Download Terminal from the Market if you don’t already have it and install it (there are a few different terminals in the Market ,

5. Open the Terminal program and type the following (with hitting enter at the end of each line):

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img

6. In the above text, replace name-of-recovery.img with the name of your recovery image (make sure the .img is on the end).

7. Phone should pause for a second and then show you a new blank line. Turn it off and back on by holding down Home and Power to ensure it flashed correctly. Done.

on another note you should change the title of this thread to user confusion has nothing to do with fresh rom ....might be confusing to some

As opposed to posting it in the FreshROM thread, had it really been a FreshROM issue.;)
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
I know that you know that the auto rooter does all of that for you. :-P

No renaming RA to update.zip or anything like that. RUU to get your phone back to stock. Then run the auto-rooter. This gives you a stock but rooted phone, with RA as your recovery image. You will then be able to install fresh rom. That's all! :)

[Hero CDMA General] samrozzi:
ok did RUU and the kitchen and did auto rooter. running 1.5.2.

Just downloaded fresh 1.1

going to put it into the root of sdcard and rename the fresh rom to, "update"

then power down phone, power back on and ok should I wipe phone then apply update zip

or

not wipe and just apply zip?

then once I apply just then choose reboot and basically thats
[Hero CDMA General] watzone69:
You don't need to wipe. RUU puts your phone back to bone stock.

You shouldn't need to rename FreshROM to update either.
[Hero CDMA General] samrozzi:
ohh, ok that was my biggest problem i think, im used to my g1 and i always renamed the rom to update.zip

so keep it fresh-cdma-hero-1.1

and apply update
[Nexus One Android Development] .milFox:
In general:

The problem with app2SD, in general, is slow SD card speeds.

Solution:

Hybrid storage pools, using the inbuilt applicaiton directory as the cache and the microSD directory as the main storage.

blogs.sun.com/ahl/entry/shadow_of_hsp explains some of the conceptual stuff

Issues:

ZFS is only available via FUSE

...

Thoughts?
[Nexus One Android Development] wagz:
While I think having snapshot, replication, 100% consistency, and dedup capability would be the coolest thing on a phone, I think the ZIL would burn up the sd quicker and the resource utilization would eat battery and memory for the transactional caches to make it practical :)
[Nexus One Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
My only thought is: "why?". I have every app I want installed and still have 102MB available. Given just how much more memory this has than the G1's of yore, I don't really see much of a reason for AppstoSD, especially since Google is releasing their own implementation *soon*.
[Nexus One Android Development] Henchman:
I was already down to 29 Meg on my internal memory.

I'll be happy when Google implements a2sd. I can't see it being any different than what a2sd us doing though.

Just make sure you have a class 6 card.
[Nexus One Android Development] .milFox:
Down to fairly minimal memory as well, here.

as to 'why' over conventional a2sd ... the in-built memory is faster than even a class 6 card. A hybrid zpool will allow the faster memory to cache the slower memory (normally, a hybrid zpool combines a SSD with a hard drive pool).
[Nexus One Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Ah, didn't realize people were having problems with it. Even so, Google has announced that they're working on it themselves and since it will be an actual part of the Android OS, rather than something hacked on, I imagine it'll be a better implementation that whatever we can do. I'll be waiting for that up and coming android release.
[Nexus One Android Development] miketaylor00:
People who are running out of memory have way too many apps installed.

Anyway, I think you will find it very difficult to use the MTD block for this purpose.
[Nexus One Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
I disagree, I only have 50 apps in total but have used 107Mb of my 196Mb used.

I lost 33Mb just flashing a theme.

Does anyone know if TA utility will work on the Nexus to move all the Caches?
[Nexus One Android Development] wagz:
Which memory are we talking about, primary or storage memory? If memory serves me correctly, the current os can only 256MB of primary memory but that will be increased to the full 512 in a later OTA update. I thought I saw some thread flying around here about that.
[Nexus One Android Development] down8:
You almost proved his point. 33MB is a ****ty size for a theme - get a better Themerto follow. Hell, most themes for Windows aren't that big.

[Nexus One Android Development] BrooklynAvi:
How on earth can you possibly make this judgment? Have you ever hear of cache? What about app data? Not to tout my own app (see sig), but the reason I created it was because my myTouch, with all of its storage, would run very low the regular basis. Besides, I like to download apps, both free and paid. Why should I be limited? Personally, I never even came close to filling up my 500MB ext partition on my myTouch but could easily have 50-100MB of cache in just a few days. I think having a GB of internal would suffice. It would allow me to comfortably add as many apps as I please and at the same time, not think about cache and data on the daily basis. $575 and I'm still going to have to hack a2sd on to this. I hate that. I'd much rather use internal storage.
[Nexus One Android Development] Lancealot:
Personally, I'm all for it. If nothing else, it would be one hell of a proof of concept and would likely be useful especially to those who like to run their devices lean and fast. There are too many nice things to say about ZFS, so I'll just say this: it's only a matter of time and what better time than now?

But I don't think it would happen, for the same reason ZFS hasn't been ported to linux, incompatible licenses.

[Nexus One Android Development] BrooklynAvi:
Ever hear of games? Seriously, making a statement like this is just plain ridiculous. Homerun Battle 3D is over 30MB in and of itself. Yes, believe it or not, people actually use their nearly $600 3.7" screen for something other than reading email, of which I do plenty. So yes, I hacked apps2sd onto my Cyan ROM and it runs beautifully. I can't even tell the difference between this and internal it's so smooth. By the time Google releases a viable apps2sd the N1 will be yesterday's news. Internal storage and capacitive buttons = fail on the N1. Otherwise, kick ass device.
[Nexus One Android Development] manup456:
I never touched the kernal on alpha7 just added a s.d>placeholder in system int.d folder got apps2sd and the rest was set. Did not know kernal was part.

Hope the kernal is good.
[Nexus One Android Development] knight4linux:
I like how its been 4 days and Cyanogen's question was never answered. I'm curious as well. What's makes your "KingNexus" kernel so different?
[Nexus One Android Development] jairomeo:
A good apps2sd method would be nice. As far as space goes, I have HomeRun Battle and Google Earth which combined are at 50MB, plus add in the Men's Health at another 11mb and 3 apps just took 1/3 of my storage.

For once, can we keep a thread on topic and not start a flame war between devs?
[Nexus One Android Development] jairomeo:
A theme being 33MB isnt adding 33MB of additional files. It is modifying already existing files. For instance, my theme in a flash version is 31MB, the MetaMorph is 16MB, now subtract the 14MB of the original files and its only a 2MB difference.
[Nexus One General] wagz:
Is "Mobile" the only allowed tag for SMS on the built in messaging app? Whenever I compose a new sms, I can only select a number associated with someone's mobile phone as the recipient address. Since I use google voice, I'd rather have mobile linked to the actual user's number and something like "other" or custom linked to the SMS phone number associated with google voice's SMS service (You need to mess with google voice to know what I'm talking about). If I put that number in as a second mobile number, I want to make sure that it doesn't dial that google voice text messaging number when I call a contact, but I don't want to go through all 4k of my contacts and tag a primary mobile or something.

Any google voice users figure a workaround?
[Nexus One General] wagz:
Answering my own question. I guess when you are in the stock contacts application and press the profile picture button of your contact, and hit the SMS button in that little menu of items that comes up, it defaults to google voice SMS. very nice. that little graphic menu is pretty cool too.
[Nexus One General] kozm0naut:
This is good info, thank you. I've had this issue myself as I often have 3-4 mobile numbers + a gvoice number for some of my contacts.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] FezzFest:
It works great. I can perfectly login to a lot of different websites and Opera Mini is really fast. Only 2 problems:

a) After the installation, phone has to be restarted.

b) Icon is missing.

c) There's a new folder "Multimedia" with Opera Mini shortcut, while it is already in main menu.

And at the bottom of Opera Mini there is only of pixels falling of the screen, but I don't care about that. Tested on Bikertibi WM6.5.3 build 28014 Prophet ROM.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] FezzFest:
I fixed the above problems. I used the Opera Mobile 10-icon and removed Multimedia folder. Works really perfect on WM6.5 now.

You can find the custom CAB here :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] dioxda2:
Thanks for your help and post 1 updated with fixed cab link added :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] FezzFest:
Today reverted back to Windows Mobile 6.1 on my Prophet and I haven't got Opera Mini working with icon.

It works flawlessly, even faster than in WM6.5, but on both your & my version, the icon is missing. I know WM6.1 doesn't support the way I set the icon for WM6.5.

Ok so before I get flamed, I have spent hours using the search feature looking for an answer. I apologize in advance if this topic has been covered, feel free to delete this thread but I'm desparate for an answer.

As the title states, I can't delete my sms messages. I send about 400 a day not including messages received. I'm stuck at about 8k messages and I'm on my 4th hard reset since I got the phone 2 days before it came out.

As I'm sure you guys are aware, the phone won't delete more than few hundred at a time. When I have this many messages in my inbox the phone behaves ridiculously slow to the point where its unusable.

I did find one solution involving the command prompt and several adb commands, but it didn't work for me.

If anyone has a solution It would be greatly appretiated.

Again, I apologize in advance if this has already been covered.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
I know if you are using Handcent SMS, it takes awhile to delete a lot of SMS. I had about 400 in a threaded conversation with my GF, and when Handcent started to lag because I had so many, I had to delete them. It took probably about 1-2 mins to delete the whole thread. So just press delete and wait like an hour or so haha.
[Hero CDMA General] bronxknight28:
yea i had about 2k messages and my phone wouldnt delete em, what i did was wipe, felt like my only choice, just start deleting all those messages after it gets to 500 (unless u really need all 8k of those messages). the messages do get stored in your phone so eventually it will lag the hell out of your phone. you can also use fresh pre kitchen, it has a tool i saw for deleting text messages and backing them up, i cant say it works or not because i never used it. worth taking a chance tho
[Hero CDMA General] 702DROID:
if your rooted use fresh kitchen to backup and delete all your text's
[Hero CDMA General] LeftysRule22:
Not using handcent, and I really would like to avoid having to delete my messages everyday. An auto delete program/feature might be the best option for me if either exists.

This saddens me because my old touch with wm6 would hold 30k messages just fine :(

I am, I'll give that a try.

I was watching tv the other day and out of nowhere thought it would be great to have multiple ring tones that werent set to who called you but random every time there is an incoming call. I tried looking up to see if there was anything but with no luck so i finally decided to make my first thread. I know theres alot of great cooks on this site, i am not one of them but i would love to help make this possible.

If anyone else is lazy like me and doesnt want to set different ring tones for anyone but has a huge list of favorite songs then IMO this would be perfect. Let me know if you found one, or if you are going to try to make a program for one to work. Im not sure exactly how phone programming works but i have programmed a few small robots so im not totally new to this, just not experienced enough to jump right on it myself.

Hello ebidr,

as long as I have understood the app on Saman´s page it is said that: "SMSDRFix has the main function resolving a phone number in an incoming SMS delivery receipt and replace it with found contact name. It has also its own notification, initialy set as the New text message notification."

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] flexgrip:
Hey guys, I may be way off on this... but just tell me if my thinking is sound.

One of the things I see people doing in themes and roms is optimizing all of the png's for a smaller file size. At first glance, that seems like the thing to do -- Less in memory, less size = better.

But I know that on applications that need to load images very fast it is always better to make them as uncompressed as possible. That way, in order for the system to show the image, the cpu has less to uncompress before displaying it.

An example would be on my HTPC. There are all kinds of fan art and huge wallpapers that change with each click to the next menu. So when I switch from Music to TV Shows. My wallpaper switches from a picture of AC/DC to a picture of the cast from "House". The first thing everyone will tell you to do is convert them to bitmaps. Bigger file size but way less for the cpu to do in order to show it. This helps with not having a delay or one of the pictures not showing up for a split second.

Now I know we can't use bitmaps because we need the transparency. But with such little cpu power on these phones, wouldn't we want the pngs to be as uncompressed as possible?

As I said, let me know if there is something I am not thinking of. The answer could be as simple as the cpu required to uncompress the pngs has less impact that a few more megabytes of memory being used. Not sure if anyone has done any testing on this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] jelbo:
You can try re-saving with minimal compression using IrfanView or a similar tool (even Photoshop I'm sure).

Oh, the I am a web developer. I work with image compression everyday. Thats not the problem, I just wanted to know if anyone had considered this or if there is another reason I'm not thinking of.
