I'm running Pancake 0.1.
[Hero CDMA General] JustShim:
What is the point of running from SD? Is it faster or something?
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
i was running apps2sd for a while, just because when you flash a rom (that supports it) all your apps are back, so you don't have to re-install them.

but now i just adb pull my app folder then push it back after the flash. it only takes a second i think the apps run better from the main memory anyway.

i only use around 15-20 apps so it's not like i'm going to run outta space on my phone memory.

apps2sd was really made for the g1, (i think) they have a tiny amount of storage memory. we have 160 MB so that's a ton of apps.

in my opinion its unnecessary unless you start to run out of space
[Hero CDMA General] watzone69:
I use it and notice a definite difference. I usually run about 30 3rd party apps. I am currently on the 2.1 Eris-based ROM.
[Hero CDMA General] julwo:
1+ btw how i do that:confused: sorry iam newbie:p
[Hero CDMA General] JustShim:
+2. Can you possibly tell me how to pull the entire app folder? What is the location? I'm a bit of newb as well. ._. Please and thank you! :)
[Hero CDMA General] omeganot:
To pull the entire app directory with adb, you would issue a command like:

adb pull /data/app/ c:\backup

I also use apps2sd, with about 25 apps right now. Came in really handy when I had to get a replacement phone. I kept my SD card, was on vacation, downloaded the SDK and a ROM to my laptop, inserted the SD card and all of my apps were there. It's not entirely necessary, especially if you aren't installing that many apps, but if you like it you like it. Note, it may become more necessary with the 2.1 builds, as they tend to be larger than the 1.5 builds.
[Hero CDMA General] TheSeanTeam:
So after a wipe, to re-install is this correct:

adb push c:\backup /data/app/

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA General] flexgrip:
I can tell you that apps are generally slower for me while running App2sd. I haven't played with it too much but I need to sit down and make some apps run from the phone memory and others from the SD card.

My news and weather widget from the nexus one is messing up and not updating. It did when I wasn't running apps2sd. I guess I need to copy it to the phone memory manually tonight once I figure it out.
[Hero CDMA General] JustShim:
@SeanTeam

Does this method preserve app settings and information?
[Hero CDMA General] omeganot:
yup, that would be correct. :)
[Hero CDMA General] durandetto:
So, I guess it doesn't completely store the apps on your SD card, because I have downloaded some apps and my internal storage has also gone down. It hasn't gone down much, but it has gone down. Also how do you see what apps are all stored on the SD card?
[Hero CDMA General] centran:
There is still another app directory on the phone. Mostly default apps live there and "hidden" apps.(stuff that is running but you never visually see).

There is also a /data/data folder that stores directories of your apps data. This is what is eating up your storage. Most of the stuff in there is only a couple Kb. There are a few apps that can get up to 200-500kb. Not much but it all adds up.
[Hero CDMA General] durandetto:
What folder are the apps stored in? The ones that are on the SD card.
[Hero CDMA General] willpower102:
I'm still not seeing any convincing reasons to use this.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Anyone using a Class 2 card? I don't feel like going out to buy a Class 6 card just for Apps2SD.
[Hero CDMA General] morbidpete:
using the stock 2gig that came with the hero. dont really notice a difference with DC v1
[Hero CDMA General] iesous-kurios:
Running Damage v1, have 79 apps, phones running fantastic.

Live wallpaper fix plus Helix launcher has made my phone on this ROM one of the coolest things I've ever owned.
[Hero CDMA General] sinistermeshes:
If your rooted and running a custom rom, there is truthfully no reason to have a2sd unless you majorly have 75 apps going (dear god, where would your battery go?!) Simply run root explorer once your custom rom is loaded, remove the ware you dont need, and if your sitting on more than 110 free space, your set. A2sd was really made for g1 users, with like 5m free space lol. The hero is a decent model, youll be fine. Plus, it takes up room on your sd that is pointless to have...better filled with music and pics and most importantly nandroid and general backups.

And a private folder for your dirty pics/vids ;)
[Hero CDMA General] R2D2-AKU2:
It's hard to make those without a flash for the camera. :(

LOL!
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
This is the one thing that has utterly bothered me about this phone. 5MP Camera AND NO F*ING FLASH!! Even the Moment has a flash! Also our cammera seems a bit less than robust, subject of the pic has to stand still for 5 minutes like in the 1800's for a clear picture. So much for technology. :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
I tend to agree, but I kept finding myself either running out of space or worrying about running out of space, even with only 50 or so apps. I'd check every day and watch my internal memory drop to 20... then 15.... clear the caches and bring it back up to 22.... then drop a few days later to 12....

Just wasn't worth the worry. I use Apps2SD now and fugeddaboutit.
[Hero CDMA General] durandetto:
I've been running this for about a week with DC v1 and have had no problems. I have about 55 apps and I still have 110 mb of internal storage. I also don't notice any apps running slower than they did before. The best part is you can download those big games and not have to worry about the space they take up and if Google Earth is ever usable on the Hero it will also be nice.
[Hero CDMA General] willy900wonka:
I'm using App2sd and have 62 MB used of 448MB. Had 20 MB free internal storage now have 60. With more apps and all the Sprint bloat. 1.56... 8GB class 6

Oh and so far no trouble.
[Hero CDMA General] GearX:
I just installed Apps2SD and all my apps disappered :confused: Maybe I'm just too stupid for this genius app :( Can't find my apps anymore :D:(
[Hero CDMA General] willy900wonka:
Usually one backs them up or at least market.

Try rebooting the phone.

If that doesn't work use market ( which is connect to your gmail account ) and redownload the apps.

When I installed apps2sd my first boot brought the apps in.

When I changed the sd card to create a backup then I had to reload the apps.

Edit:

What do you mean disappeared? Are they gone from the /system/sd/app or do they give an error when you click on them in the apps launcher page?
[Hero CDMA General] GearX:
well I rebooted my hero. But now it is not starting up at all. I have BeHero running and its crashing at the "quietly brilliant" screen :mad: what to do? :(
[Hero CDMA General] willy900wonka:
I don't know what it is on the gsm roms, especially BE 2.1 which is yours. Try the gsm forums.

This might help.

Ah damn... someone could have mentioned that before :( And away is all my Data.... once again :D

thx 4 help anyway! :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] RiverRunner:

Mod edit: This will remove any CURRENT chance to root your device. Do not flash if you want to root.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
As much as I don't believe this.. I'm going to test this out..Get back to ya.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
I'm mildly skeptical as well. Sadly, I'm going to wait for someone else to brick their phone first...if the update even passes sign checks. Sorry, don't believe it :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
I'm not worried about bricking my Eris, as I don't even use it anymore. So I'll attempt to flash this as soon as it's done downloading from that crappy, slow host.
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
If this is true I LOVE CHINA
[Droid Eris Android Development] SellswordShev:
Let us know, thanks for taking the hit :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
i am downloading it now, even though i don't have the slightest clue what to do with it.....once someone says its the real thing then i will look for help....
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
I'd be really interested to know if this works. Thanks for testing it out, ataranine.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Captainkrtek:
if you want to test put it on your sd card in your phone then place the card back in your phone and boot it up by holding power and call, pretty easy from there
[Droid Eris Android Development] CaddymanLNL:
no you hold volume down and power when booting after putting the zip in the root of your sd card

hboot will show up white with green text

let it run, tell it to install, follow the steps done.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SellswordShev:
Needs to be in the root directory of your sdcard, i.e. /sdcard/ROMNAME.zip
[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
Jesus christ... 40%... going to take 25 more minutes. :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
I like where this thread is going. Dude if you can provide us with a 2.1 rom then we don't care about bad english!
[Droid Eris Android Development] powerpup118:
Mines done downloading, but I dunno if I wanna try it :S can we restore back if it's buggy or something? XD
[Droid Eris Android Development] Snakehn:
twice i tried to download this and the file is corrupted, or is it me?

using windows 7
[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
I guess I'll let you know if it works. Don't take the risk.

I have an Eris I don't use. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] jlampson:
I was able to download it but am looking for input from other members prior to putting this on my only currently working phone. Viva la 2.1 (maybe)!!!!

John
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Well I'll grab it in case HTC decides to pull it down... SOMEBODY TRY THIS AND TELL US IF IT'S REAL!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
BTW, the OP, I laugh my ass off every time I read it aloud. xD
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
seems to be real...... just cannot get it to flash
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
I can download Astro from the market. Have you tried?
[Droid Eris Android Development] PPCGeek01:
You shouldn't need it, it's in the Marketplace. I just downloaded it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] j1000:
how do you setup text to speech is it available in this release.

never mind figured out. loving 2.1 so far
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sheen160:
Help

I'm in the middle of doing the update right now and it says "Update complete... Do you want to reboot device?

<ACTION> Yes" But I can't select it and it's just sitting there. What do I do?
[Droid Eris Android Development] onelegofthestool:
press the trackball
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
It was kind of odd it failed twice on me before it worked.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
I noticed it gives me options now when I am connected to my computer. It ask if I want to sync, mount or charge(on the phone that is).

[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
All I did was push the track ball down like an ok key.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sheen160:
It worked. Thanks guys. This is awesome! :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Snakehn:
well guys, another confirmation that this is indeed 2.1 for eris, i just updated mine, looking good.

something i noticed, i disable the vibration feedback from settings and even disables the touch sensitive buttons (home, menu, back, search)

which is a good thing ;)

Edit: ohh $h!t.... the weather here is foggy so i just saw some fog in my whole home screen LOL that is cool!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
I read that with gps off maps is more accurate and with gps on it is full on accurate. Is this true?

so i just installed the 2.1 update, opened up the marketplace, saw an update for google maps....and bam we now have navigation...so cool
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
This phone is finally what I thought it would be when I bought it. I was really disappointed before but now it ends calls well, loads quicker and being on 2.1 I am going to start what the other devs have begun as well, try to gain root. It shouldn't be that hard with this version. I would bet less than a week.
[Droid Eris Android Development] apreichner:
Anyone wanna do some investigating and see if any of the known 2.1 exploits for root will work?
[Droid Eris Android Development] SoCalSpecialist:
now we have a HAPPY ERIS COMMUNITY..lets keep it that way!

:D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sheen160:
So now that I have 2.1 on there I have another question.. Say there's a bug fix release from Verizon OTA, will we be able to get it? Or will we have to download it from somewhere.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tats_06:
Here are the instructions: Link and instructions :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] anom69:
very good question.. i would like to know the answer to that as well
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
We will get the update because nothing was screwed with. This is a legit version, just leaked.
[Droid Eris Android Development] kratos313:
Now that a working 2.1 rom is out it should be able dissected and used to fix the current 2.1 rom with camera problems and such here's hoping

you guys...

Are awesome!! Android 2.1 now on my Eris!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] sureal:
Ok having a bit of an issue, phone is doing a soft reset almost constantly, goes to the htc quietly brilliant screen, loads all the way up and restarts again after about 2 mins
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
isnt the new built suppose to have htc and android widgets on the same section?
[Droid Eris Android Development] sureal:
So apparently the google mail app was causing it to restart because of a notification, turned it off, stuck with he htc app all is gravy now
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
The HTC message app is causing sense to force close. Anyone else face the same thing?
[Droid Eris Android Development] pottergst:
lost

when the first Hboot menu comes up it says <vol down> HBoot Mode so i press the down volume button and it says image failed and reloads a menu with Fastboot Mode and Recovery this doesn't seem right im a little confused here with this "power key over the HBoot option"
[Droid Eris Android Development] XT0VERUS:
Everything is running great. The only problems are when I reboot the phone it asks for my Google password, and when I try to open Google Earth it just goes to the home screen. Anyone else having these problems? One more thing, what are peoples boot times? It was slow before I updated to 2.1, but now it's ridiculous. It varies, but I get between 2-3 minutes.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tbaker077:
So, some of my previous downloads are not showing up, any ideas what I can do?
[Droid Eris Android Development] thurstroubadours:
When you say hboot, what do you mean? I have zero idea what I'm doing. The four options i have are "bootloader," "reboot," "reboot bootloader," and "power down." Which do I use? Thank you for helping out someone who is as new to this stuff as possible!
[Droid Eris Android Development] pottergst:

I NEED HELP

can someone message me on aim or yahoo and help a bit

i must be confused

Is it raining anywhere out there? My main screen has rain drops right after I start up.

UPDATE - It rains and I get the wiper.
[Droid Eris Android Development] XT0VERUS:
I just thought I would post this for those who might have problems getting it to work. Make sure the SD card has been formated on the device at some point and not your PC. One person had problems getting it to install and that worked right away.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jamezelle:
thank you :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
Thanks alot tats! Got it done and am so happy now! Had all my apps back'd with astro and they all are back and work great, even swype...yeah:D Man I needed this.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pottergst:
thanks to XT0VERUS and the option listed above i am now running 2.1 as well!!!

thanks brother
[Droid Eris Android Development] mcduck1:
Just making sure its formatted as FAT32 should be enough! :D

Do we have SENSE UI on android 2.1?

[Droid Eris Android Development] unjoed:
I love how people can't read and ask the same question 100 times to make the post like 100 pages long.

my question. I hold the call and power/end button do the whole hboot think and it doesn't find the image or anything.... little help here?

Also when i plug my phone into my windows vista machine, i can never get it to read my memory card when i do the whole notification drag down thing.

suggestions?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Bergie37:
Probably the same problem I had. The file I downloaded had a "(1)" after the file name. Just rename the file so the new file name is PB00IMG.zip instead of PB00IMG (1).zip. Hope that helps.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
If I understand correctly what you had to do to make this work (I think I do), I am in awe. (Bows deeply).

Either that or the jokester hand-picked a specific location in the archive to make your life just slightly less difficult - perhaps an area that decompresses to a regular pattern?

If RiverRunner was not the jokester, he's probably sweating bullets right about now - the .zip he distributed was "marked"... and that makes him/her far less anonymous. (If RR didn't do the byte diddling, then the person(s) that did could possibly have a very short list of folks who had the opportunity to leak code to the internet).

bftb0
[Droid Eris Android Development] SellswordShev:
@bftb0/zanfur: Yeah I am still curious on how this was patched. From what zanfur told me the 5 troublesome bytes were near the end of the .zip (where system.img was supposed to be), but not sure on the details on what type of character set he used for the brute forcing. Regardless, I am glad you are on our side zanfur :)

Went off without a hitch, restoring via MY Backup.

Have been on this site off and on for years with Winmo and really love this site!!

Question, since install and reboot sense has quit working, I don't have and can't download any HTC widgets, any thoughts on what happened?
[Droid Eris Android Development] livinlifes2short:
maybe the wrong section but I just read through this thread, and did not see it anywhere. Can we expect something for the hero to work soon?? Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] Videofolife13:
Head over to the Hero section. None of us are working on the Hero.

Commentary: Anyone else find it funny that the Hero kids are running over here to ask for help after they cursed us out for asking for help in the "early days"? Yeah. I smile when I see it.

caddy,i have file in sd download folder. I dont see a root folder in sd. I do see root folder in phone. im using astro as my file manager
[Droid Eris Android Development] morphius2036:
FYI I updated last night but didn't check can anyone receive phone calls? I get no response on the phone just rings and then go's to voicemail. No Vibrate or ring no notifacation there is a call at all. think the radio is too updated since Verizon hasn't officialy OTA'ed this rom?
[Droid Eris Android Development] dspanos:
In Astro... longpress on the file, select edit, then move. You have to then back out of that directory into the root of the SD card, hit menu, edit, then paste.
[Droid Eris Android Development] listyb01:
Incoming and outgoing calls working just fine here.

Feeling Dumb....

Ok, so really new to all this. I have followed the instructions several times but I think I may be missing something here. I have downloaded the patched file. Placed on my phones SD card. Powered it off. Powered it on via the instructions. I select the HBoot option, but I get nothing. Stays at that screen. Tried selecting using the power key, trackball, but just sits there. Can select the Fastboot option again and restart then it gives me a hazard sign with a phone under it. I can remove the battery press the power key and it starts back up again. Any suggestions here? I am pretty good at following instructions, but right now this thing is making me feel like an idiot, lol. Thanks for any help!
[Droid Eris Android Development] jester369:
Just one quesiton. Will it allow us to edit the native apps now? Like delete amazon, peep, all the useless crap that verizon foisted on us and I, personally, never wanted on my phone?
