[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Super-D & Wesgarner's roms are faster.Might wanna try those out.Cyan is good for those that want just the stability and normal speed.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScorqYoN:
But for those I need Danger SPL, or???

Are they stable like CyanogenMod???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
they're a lil bit more iffy. i can't say for sure as i haven't given either of them a fair chance on my device, but from what i've heard, they're speedier. but for supreme stability, Cyan is the best. and just to be clear, you don't NEED swap for cyanogen, but it's always good to have it just in case you want to test out a hero or eclair build, you know?

and i'm not sure, but i think those do require the danger spl, but honestly, if you read the directions and know what you're doing, you can accomplish is with great success. i've done it twice already and both times have worked flawlessly.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
You are right, they need the Danger spl
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScorqYoN:
Yeah, but the question is, if i need an other rom than Cyan...

Have the roms any more functions or something else???

The Cyan has the advantage that i can Update with only my G1 and have often updates+many themes...

I heard that the Hero Roms haven't bluetooth, what i don't find good.

Are their else any differences or why do many people use hero or eclair roms???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandomegabosses:
for one thing, hero is GORGEOUS. eclair has supreme features and it's really sexy too. as of right now, eclair is my rom of choice, with a backup of cyanogen for stability. the only downside for eclair really is the camcorder, which will be worked out once htc releases the drivers. camera works now, as does practically everything else.

so to answer your question, yes, other builds have other features. but in essence, it's a matter of personal preference. if you want stability with good speed, cyanogen is a great choice. if you want a gorgeous look on your phone with awesome widgets, go with hero. for the latest features, then eclair is your rom. it's a matter of what you want.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScorqYoN:
Ok, so i think then i test hero and ecliar...

First i have to install danger SPL, have anyone good and safe tutorial???

And what are the best hero/eclair roms???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScorqYoN:
???????????????????????????????????
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alphabet Soap:
Super D

Just my 2 cents - I've found SuperD just as stable as Cyanogen, actually more so - never had an fc problem since installing 1.5 and then 1.6. If you've got DangerSPL/don't need it because you're on a MT3G, then definitely give it a whirl. i was really shocked by how good it is. Same with Dwang, although there's less in the way of goodies. Haven't tried WG yet.

I keep a swap partition on my card - 64mb personally. even if the rom ain't using it, it stops me from losing my data going to hero/eclair as mentioned above.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScorqYoN:
But with hero and eclair i have no bluetooth, or???

What i have to do now?

My SD 8gb sd card is partitioned: 96mb swap, 512 ext4

I have to update to danger spl and then??? Install a easiliy the rom, or have i to wipe or something when i change rom???

How to Partitioning your SD Card for Android (not for APP2SD)

This guide is for:

* If windows mobile is your primary os on your phone (Windows Mobile is on NAND)

* SD Partitioning is for Haret.exe (vogue users probably dont use haret.exe anymore)

* This is not the Guide for Apps2SD.

* This guide was made primarily for those use windows mobile & Android

* This guide was made in complimentary of Jamezelle's hero android builds as hero would run slow without partitioning.

You'll Need The Following.

* Partitioning Program

Gparted (FREE) Download here

Paragons Partition Manager

Partition Magic

Etc.

* A custom rom that supports Disk Drive Mode (Your Phone acts as a Flash Drive)

* About 15 Minutes.

Benefits of Android on SD Card

:

*Great for Those who are scared to flash Android on Nand.....

*Great for those who want to use both Android & Windows Mobile

--->if you rely on Turn By Turn GPS which is on Windows Mobile

--->if you need to use a windows mobile Apps

--->if you prefer opera browser/opera mini on windows mobile

--->if you use Androids Latest Builds, but you need to use Bluetooth(in WinMo)

--->if you are a Microsoft Loyalist

--->if you have the time (Read some of these nonsense benefits, watched my video tutorial, and partition your SD Card)

Video Tutorial Here - Youtube Link

:) Hope This Helps

Nice work :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jazmatician:
*IF* your phone can be mounted in windows as a fixed (non-removable) drive, you can partition it within windows. My custom ROM gives me the option to mount as a non-removable device. You don't have to format as ext2, the installer did that for me, you just have to create two RAW 256MB partitions.

That said, this method is a lot easier, I just couldn't do it with my netbook!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] intimidatorx31:
Didnt know that you could jsut create 2 partitions of RAW unallocated partitions without formatting and the installer will do it for you.

You could still do it on a netbook if you download Paragon Partition Manager.

That is a windows program, so if you dont have a dvd drive you could use Paragon.

Also you could get a flash drive and make that flash drive bootable with Gparted.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] awaqeded:
nice video, very professional. Partitioned my 2gb card with Gpart and it couldn't have been easier, thanks

now for your next video could you show how to make a USB connection with the android vogue to win 7? :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] intimidatorx31:
Lol thanks man.

Funny thing is i havent been able to get a USB Connection with windows 7... (cause i havent looked too much into it)

Ill try to find some time this weekend and figure it out.

And i hope i can fulfill your video tutorial request :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] drkow19:
Could you post some text instructions on the .conf file?

I have some questions regarding the performance factors of the different settings, like using compcache with a hero build. Is the backing swap for compcache using the 2nd ext2 partition? What are the options you need to enable to use that 2nd partition as swap? That's all I'm curious about, but feel free to expand.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] awaqeded:
thanks, no hurry tho it's been mostly laziness on my part, I've read through the forums took lots of notes I just need to get it done ;)

But the USB connection imo is the hardest part of switching to android on the vogue, at least so far.

I think i'll try out jamezelle's SenseTATTOO 1.0 that will give me the motivation to get it working.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] StupidCid:
Ha Ha Ooops

so i was up late last night so i figured i'd finally get around to partitioning my sd card for android and saw this post and figured cool. It was a great tutorial and if i had been a little more alert i would have probably paid attention more. I ended up wiping the hardrive of my computer totally unaware of what my stupid headwas doing. So it marked the end of my procrastination of upgrading to win 7. After i got everything back up and running:D I finally paid attention and was able to partition my card. thank you for the time and effort you put into this video. it was info i couldn't find with what little time i had. I just thought i'd let you know. that if your stupid like me maybe gparted is dangerous for you:rolleyes:
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
thx for the vid.

Mac users: just use disk utility, pretty straight forward. back up your microsd first though, it wipes it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] intimidatorx31:
HOLY CRAP!

Dang i feel sorry for you. Lost data is the worst feeling ever.

Im guessing you may have missed the step to choose your sd card.

Im glad your back up and running (ESPECIALLY WINDOWS 7 YEAH!!!!!!!!!)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
When I load my burned G-parted live disc the autoplay screen pops up and asks me how I want to view pictures? I'm running win7 and burned the disk image using power2go.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] intimidatorx31:
I think you're "loading gparted while in windows 7".....Rather than bootin from Gparted.

You have to get your computer to boot from the cd.....

so you have to restart your computer with gparted in the drive.

Side Note:

Normally when you turn on ur computer, the computer boots from your hard drive. Your hard drive has windows on it; and therefore boots windows.

You want to have your computer boot from Gparted (off the cd) and not boot from your hard drive (Windows 7)

Solution:

You have to Restart your computer

Hopefully Gparted Gets loaded

If it doesnt its because the BIOS on your computer set Boot Priorities to Boot From the CD. This should definately work (100% sure).
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
lol ok thanks...I'll try soon.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] t1mman:
And how do we "use" the multiple partition system?

Does it need a new data.img file?

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] awaqeded:
it's for running android from a sd card, the installer will move files to the ext2 partitions for faster access and better performance
[Touch CDMA Android Development] t1mman:
Well, the question was "how to", not "what it does" ;)

But nevermind, found it!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] lggyxx:
i did everything with paragon..when i put my sd card on my kaiser tilt it wats to format..and then when i put it back in my computer it wants to format again.

I am using an micro sd adapter and paragon partition..

do i neccarly have to use EXT2? or can i just run it off formated fat 32
[Touch CDMA Android Development] intimidatorx31:
Yes you need it to be Ext2. Ext2 is something recognizable in linux.

Android recognizes this too and I believe it needs the Ext2. I think if you were to create 3 partitions of Fat32 it would not help the performance.

Android usually copies the files over to the Ext2 Partitions, and if it doesnt detect an Ext2, it wont copy any files anywhere; thus the performance isnt as great.

I had this problem

when i was trying to format my sd card for the first time.

Everytime i would plug my sd card back into my phone my phone wanted to format it.

I figured out that

i did the partitions wrong. I re did it (the method shown in the video) and i was able to plug it (the sd card) back into my phone with no error message.

So what im basically saying is you may have done it wrong.

I wish i could remember what i did wrong so i can help you correct it and do it right but it was a while ago i dont remember in great detail. All i know is when i tried it again (the correct way) it worked perfectly.

Here is a screenshot of what your card should look like. (may differ slightly in paragon's partition manager)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
ok i have successfully made 2 ext2 partitions at the right size.

What all can i do with this?

Can i now install apps to my sd card?

What is the process of doing this?

Also, i can no longer get my sd card to show up on my computer with automount or sd split widget

Im running Myns rls4 on nand.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
i just installed apps2sd and it said my partitions arent stup correctly. I spent all day getting them setup correctly and now the app is saying its not. It wants to correct the partition but it wont save. It says it needs to correct the next time even after i correct it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] seanmcd72:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] intimidatorx31:
hmmm lets see. which rom of windows mobile 6.5 are you running?

so basically we have a few options (but are not limited to)

you flash to a nfsfan rom (which has that disk drive mode)

you get a card reader or something similar and get your microsd to be detected on your computer as a "disk drive"

gotta find some windows mobile software that can do that microsd card to act as a disk drive, so you dont have to go through the trouble of flashing your phone just ot partition your microsd card.

wondering if you can hook up your phone via active sync, and partition it through windows. because active sync detects both internal memory on your phone as well as sd card.

So the ultimate goal is to get your microsd card to be "read" by your computer. you dont need the other fancy equipments lik a card reader or a microsd to sd adapter, as you can use software to do those things for you. however if you have some of these tools itll probably be more convenient to use those tools.

what should I do with 3 partition ?

I want 1st partition for storage data and 2nd partition for android
[Touch CDMA Android Development] averestefd:
install is still creating system.img and data.img on sdcard..?

So I got 2 258.83m partitions on 8g card...

both are primary... do I set them "active"?

in installer utility i checked off ext2 on both system and data, right?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] intimidatorx31:
yea you did that correctly (checking ext2 on both system and data)

Did you have it so that your sd card has about 7 GB of fat32 partition (FIRST)

Followed By [ext2] [ext2]?

[ 7GB] [258mb] [258mb]

[Fat32] [Ext2] [Ext2]

Ill try to uppload a new video.

My youtube account got suspended for copyright stuff with lakers videos and xgames stuff.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] rickmatic:
Note: The fat32 has to be your primary partition, because thats what your "windows" phone will read. The Ext2 like mentioned is a linux file so only your "android" side reads it. If u set Ext2 as primary your "windows" phone will try to format the whole card and u would have to start over.

i ruined my pc and laptop doing this and getting frustrated so be patient.

Heres my question after partitioning the sd card to 2, Ext2. once im in the linux "install screen" where do i install the sys. and data

()sys on nand ()data on nand

()sys on partition ()data on partition

()sys on ext2 ()data on ext2
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
Also, what about:

()sys on sd card ()data on sd card?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] radar5:
you want to install to whatever it defaults to, which I think is ()sys on sd card ()data on sd card (for a Haret install). I know it seems wrong, but that is what was explained to me and is actually right. Choosing these options (or whatever the default is) will install to the Ext2 partitions.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
Thanks again radar5, and that does seem incorrect but I guess that is way to do it.

I think the mistake I am doing is when formatting partitions, Only the Fat32 can be Primary. The ext2 partitions should be set to what then?

I use GParted live on Winblows machine. I can't seem to format Ext2 properly on my Mac

Okay, not too clear on this:

I make a Primary Fat32 partition

Then I make an extended logical?

Then I make 2 X ext2 partitions within the Logical partition?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] rickmatic:
after running haret and holding the dpad. it ask me where to install the sys. and data.... either(nand, ext2 or partition) i have to choose one for sys. and the same 3 options for data. i know for sure not to choose nand cuz it wont work but im not sure if i should install the sys. to ext2 or the partition.(i always thought it was the same thing).

it defaults on the partition so, as suggested install it there right? just want to make sure. thanks for the help.

Fat32 should be primary

Ext2 logical

Ext2 logical

Note: i use acronis disk director. should be the same but ive never used gparted...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] intimidatorx31:
yea its been a while since i installed on sd card.

But from what i remember im lik 90% sure its ext2 partition

i think if you install to sd card partition it just installs to the fat32...while the ext2 partitions, the system and nand are going to be there.

Someone correct me if im wrong..

ALSO Sorry for the youtube video gone.

Got my account suspended.

Copyright stuff; so annoying.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] rickmatic:
i know its ext2 partition i was just trying to help dsmturbo...

fat32-should be primary partition

ext2-should be the logical partitions.

the other ext2-should be logical partition as well.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
Thank you muchly.

I partitioned as that, somehow Haret install didn't like one of them.

All I got for choices was Sys on nand or SD, data on SD.

I'll redo my partitioning again
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
Okay, I have reformatted and re-partitioned 3 separate cards using GParted, Part Magic, and also tried Acronis Disk Director in Windows.

Some times WinMo Explorer doesn't even recognize a card, other times, I run Haret and I do not get choices for Data, just sys to sd or sys to ext2.

Now I am trying with cards formatted to just Fat32. I run Haret, and choose Install, then get errors re: ext2 partitions or ?

The whole card is Fat32.

I am trying 1 2GB card and 2 different 4GB cards.

I have tried to install to Fat32 Myn's donut, Incubus Froyo and CyanogenMod6, nothing will install.

I have tried 3 different adaptors for cards, tried copying files thru WinMo using phone with card in it.

I am ready to throw stuff. I am going to try a 512mb card to see if I can successfully install any Android using Haret.

EDIT: not enough room on a 512MB card

Maybe my default.txt is wrong, or initr.gz or??

GParted can't 'see' my SD card

Sorry for the newbie question here...

I'm trying to install Android on my HTC Vogue using the instructions posted in this forum. I would like to create the FAT32/ext2/linux-swap partitions to improve performance. I downloaded GParted and created the boot CDR. GParted will give me the option of manipulating my laptop hard drive partitions, but it doesn't 'see' the SD card. Can anyone give me suggestions on how to make this work?

- I am running Windows 7 64-bit on a Sony Vaio TT

- I tried Acronis Disk Director and Partition Wizard. I obtain the same result with both of them: they give me the option of manipulating the laptop hard drive partitions, but they don't 'see' the SD card.

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vellowax:
1. Unplug then pluged in ?

2. For me, it would be more easy if you use some linux distro to re partition the SD card.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jjfad:
I've tried the remove-and-reinsert several times. Doesn't seem to work. From your reply it sounds like there shouldn't be an issue of GParted not 'seeing' my SD card?

Unfortunately I don't have linux and I don't know how to use linux, so I can't use linux to repartition the SD card.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vellowax:
Sorry if i can't help you, i'm never use Acronis or Partition Wizard and never have a problem with gparted run in linux.

But this is what actually work for me, even if the SD card got corrupted.

I use small linux distro called puppy, find it here, it's less than 100MB, burn it to CD ( if you don't wanna burn it - use virtualbox for windows to make it run in windows ), let it boot in your PC (it's called liveCD - run without to installed first ), plug in SD card, then re partition your SD card with gparted ( already include in almost linux distro )
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jjfad:
I didn't figure out the problem, but I have my SD card partitioned. (Basically I used a USB-to-SD adapter, and Acronis Disk Director 'sees' the SD card just fine. So there may have been something wrong with the SD card reader on my laptop.)

So now I have a 2GB microSD card partitioned into a primary active FAT32 (1.3GB), logical ext2 (256MB), and logical ext2 (256MB).

However, like dsmturbo above (post #39) I am having problems with the install. When I run Haret, I only see three options for the install:

1. Sys on NAND

2. Sys on SDCard Partition

3. Sys on EXT2 System.img

Any thoughts?

PS. I tried to look at the video posted by rickmatic (post #1) but unfortunately it has been taken down by YouTube.

Thanks!

when i first looked into getting a HD2, one of the things that sold me was the HTC sense video conducted by HTC (can be seen on youtube htc page)

i really liked the bit in the video that allowed you to customize different wallpapers, clocks etc depending on days of the week (ie work days vs weekend). So i was a bit disappointed to learn upon buying my hd2 that the feature known as 'scenes' is not available on the WinMo version of sense - only the android.

Of course, it is totally my fault for not doing the proper research.. i would just like to know if this feature will ever be included for the HD2/winmo version of sense? or maybe in a cooked rom?

thanks for any input!
