anyone have a solution to partition sd card. i tried gparterd, paragon still cannot partition the sd. it always says crosslink file error. after many-many-many times doing this, my sd almost to abrink of corroupt. is it because cheap sd card? or probably fake sdcard (eventhough it reported correct capacity)??. got mine from ebay 16GB @ usd 17++ and 8GB @17++. ???
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
Hint: use the method in the first post
[Touch CDMA Android Development] ahhl:
i do not have android on my phone. still on wm65.

tried cardexport2. than format the card using paragon as the only software can detect cardexport2 connected. manage to format it to ext2. and it shows as basic hard disk in paragon. xp still cannot detect theres sdcard connected. in puppylinux the card still detected as usb.

my card still having error on all program in fat32, running haret, error listed and display saying cannot detect the partation and saying the partition space too small ( and i partition it @3GB!!):confused:

I just went to NAND. Whoohoo!

The first post says:

I just installed Incubus26Jc's Super Eclair Lite 2.1 [RLS5] - [5/8/10] build.

My guess is that the same instructions will also work for Eclair?

Correct?

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
Yes, they will work with any vogue rom. I had said warm donut because warm donut doesn't have app2sd but the other roms do. So this method isn't as useful

Thank you!

Superuser issue

Could this be why I get a "you are not a superuser" error when I attempt to use better terminal on the phone using the instructions in the first post?

Edit: Mrono, can you possibly update the first post for those that are using the terminal emulator to add that they should type su as the first command, followed by your instructions? Believe that would be helpful for some. Also found after that I had to use mmcblk0p1 for the first line. Others may be different. Thanks.

Other than the two things I found above, it seems to have gone off without a hitch. Definitely appears to increase speed/effeciency! Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
Interesting, mine is already su'd when I boot it, but I will change it thanks.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cwzkevin:
Thanks, OP!

I used G-Parted to partition my sdcard to "Fat32 > 64mb Ext2 > 512mb Ext2" then backup and "move" my data to "Data on SDCard Partition". Works great, and my NAND has 380mb free space right now.... It was 20mb before.

I'm thinking of switching from T-mobile to a CDMA network(due to poor GSM coverage in my area) but neither Sprint nor Verizion has any decent windows mobile phones like the HD2. So I was thinking since some people got the TP2 to run droid, shouldn't someone be able to get the EVO to run Winmobile since its hardware is so similar to the HD2?

Thanks guys,

Why WinMo

I too would like WinMo 6.5 on EVO for a few reasons:

1. Zune. Zune. Zune. I can sync up play lists DRM music etc with it via WMP11 to WinMo. It may not be pretty and beautiful, but it works. The Zune service on PC is much better than iTunes. Don't argue with me if you haven't used it, you just don't know.

2. 1GHz snapdragon. Touch Pro 2 only has 528 MHz processor and drags a little on WinMo 6.5.

3. Not huge on separated non-integrated applications. Zune, GPSnav (recently added bing turn-by-turn), web, phone, email, text and maybe tether/wifi router. I don't want to pay for software I don't really need.

4. Not so important, but worth mentioning...business focused integration. Ability to operate closely w/ cloud or on it's own.

Ideally, I'd have a QWERTY slider with the 1GHz or better, WinMo 6.5.x (skeptical about WP7, but looking forward to it), real GPS (not via cell tower), WiFi/AP capable w/ WPA(2). I can write little apps that I might need...because WinMo is open, not controlled like apple or android market.

That's why.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RazorBlazE:
Well I don't see it happening because ..

1: Winmo is not open source and phone makers have to pay for the license (It's not open source like android *linux*)so anyone trying to port it to a non licensed device risk getting sued by MS this making it sorda warez'y and prob couldn't be discussed on this site or most.

2. winmo 6.x is getting killed by backwards compat of 7.x so most developers wouldn't put the effort

3. winmo is getting kinda old and this is coming from someone who used winmo since 2002. :/

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VoXHTC:
ANYONE, that has actually used WinMo (Any version) and then used an Android device should know better.

In fact there should be an IQ test for those people buying "Smart Phones." if you're not smarter than the phone you can't have it dummy..

Serioulsy, if you're still stuck on WinMo you shouldn't be allowed to own an Android device.

Windows Mobile is dead dude. It's a wasted effort and Android is gaining market share like crazy.

RIM is still competitive because there are so many Suits that are stuck on it, but eventually the'll face the same fate as Winmo Fanboys.

Lastly, if anyone EVER puts windows mobile on the Evo I'll find a way to report you for something, somewhere, it's just plain stupid.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsongrantr:
The last winmo device I used was htc mogul. The device it's self was flawed, but winmo it's self has it's advantages. There is metric ton of software that hasn't yet or will never be ported to android. Winmo is more stylus friendly whereas android is more finger friendly. Seeing the evo has a capacitive touch screen, you'll be beating your head into a wall in more ways than one.

Although I hope to never see it ported honestly, the easiest solution is getting a hd2 it has winmo and is almost the exact same thing as the evo minus the wimax and hdmi.

I was wondering the same thing, that is the possibility of running Windows Mobile on the phone. But I guess by the looks of it there wont be any chefs releasing any roms.

We run custom financial quoting software and the company recently spent a butt load of money porting the entire app from Palm to Windows Mobile... hopefully they port it to Android.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervman1:
who the hell died and made you king? I'd like to see windows mobile ported to the Evo as well. And no I cant just get the HD2 because everyone getting the Evo is on Sprint!

There should be an iq test for owning a smart phone? Did you just crawl out of a rock? Windows Mobile pioneered the smart phone industry you see today. Yes Windows Mobile has become a bit outdated and needs a refresh but thats because Windows Mobile was never started to work on phones but ppc's. Windows Phone 7 hopefully should be a good answer.

Windows mobile has tremendous capability but it is not as refined graphically as android or easy to navigate. In fact, I'd argue you need a higher IQ to use a windows mobile device than android. You better just stick to android then, we wouldn't want you overexerting yourself.

And lastly, YOU'RE just plain stupid. Take your ignorant a** elsewhere, I'd rather not read any more of your drivel.

I agree, overzelious android fanboy.... I'm a android convert fo sho. I have deep roots in winmo, I used to swear by it, but it is absolutely long in the tooth now compared to what's available.

android needs to be everything winmo is not... I think they should smash them off the mobile marketplace. They will never get RIM at least not in the foreseeable future, too many corps depend on their dependability and remote management. And apple fanboys will buy apple products till the day they go under. palm is a running joke, and will see a very slow demise or at the most stay niche enough not to be a true threat. They had a chance at one point, but didn't push hard enough and now they're too deep to make up for it IMO

the non fanboy, non geek demographic is where android should really point most of their focus. Ease of use and compatibility and economic version of the iphone. non geeks don't give a flying **** if it's apple branded or not, they want eye candy and they want it to work and be easy. That really is all there is too it.

if they can do that better than apple, they win, plain and simple.

Palm isn't a joke at all, who's the overzealous fanboy now? Have you even tried WebOS? Aside from the home screen carrying only 4 icons everything else about that OS is downright amazing.

I owned a palm pre almost from the day it came out till the day the hero came out... hated it so much i bought an unsubsidized hero at full price. The hardware was garbage, and they didn't license their eye candy to other manufacturers so what they had is all you got.

main arguement ... developer support... where's the software? that is all.

lets not talk about buyouts, lets not talk about shoudas or coudas either... plain facts... palm failed.

don't confuse me with a fanboy... because I'm definitely not one of those.

I, too, would waaayyy rather have winmo 6x on an Evo. Rather have hd2, honestly, but am stuck with Sprint for various reasons. I just pre-ordered Evo yesterday, but already have buyers remorse. WinMo is so much better than Android IMHO. Having acces to your system via file explorer and registry seems so critical and useful, (if not downright necessary -i.e. tethering). I cant imagine not having access to the guts of my OS. Not to mention zip and rar capability, oh, and Word, duh. Man, I feel uneasy about this shift

Oh, and yeah, everything I've read about WP7 makes it a no-go (no file system, no cab files, no removable storage, no copy/paste, no multitasking) what the hell is MS thinking?!

I'm getting this hardware and service, but

Everyday I look at what's happening with the HD2 and Winmo and compare it to what I see for Android and the Hero I just bought my son and want to cry. I'm beginning to think if you don't see how Winmo is superior you just don't know how to do anything with the software.

I keep hearing about mods and customization for Android, but have yet to find anything that comes anywhere close to what you can do on Winmo. I'd love to see some screenshots or links. Someone prove me wrong please, afterall I am switching because I have a Sprint family plan, for the hardware and for the wimax and do want to make the best of it.

Microsoft made a mistake because they wanted a share of the market of ignorant masses. All the iphone lovers are happy with nothing more than an appliance. I'm coming to the conclusion that Android isn't much different. You slide from limited screen to limited screen. Yes you can put more than just shortcuts on them. You can put widgets or folders on them too. And max them out.

Winmo is a computer system that unfortunately is just now getting the the hardware it deserves. The navigation on Winmo is smarter, more ergonomic and efficient and you get more on your home screen including instant one touch access to, what, 15 or more full screen widgets. Winmo has always been capable of using folders on the start screen with shortcuts and it doesn't max out.

I think the problem with WinMo was the app scene. Any apps that were worthwhile cost a fortune and any free apps were garbage.

I think WinMo tried to do too much at the same time while forgetting that it couldn't do a few things really well. This created a slow convoluted OS. Also Microsoft failed to innovate, when was the last major update to WinMo?

Ontop of this, the OS itself was ugly as sin and required you to use a blasted stylus because the buttons were microscopic.

I've used windows mobile, quite a lot.

Look up my previous posts from 3/4 years ago, and unless if you have some really really crazily important software that you rely on, for work/business, there is no reason, purpose and sense (unrelated to htc) in wanting or having windows mobile.

Windows mobile defined Smartphones for what they are. No doubt about that. However, whatever it was able to do, android can do it better.

P.S: If you really do have thousands of dollars of revenue relying upon having a certain software which is only available on windows mobile, you should hire a freelancer to port it to android.

I understand that there will be some who don't want to let go, sad as it is. Since learning something new requires effort.

I have seen people running windows 95 and even 3.1, not willing to learn a new OS and a new way to do things, even if that make them more productive.

In that case, you are free to use what you like or want. However the price for that freedom is to learn to live with the fact that just as no one will write usb or SLI drivers for windows 3.1, so no one will bother putting windows mobile on any decent modern hardware.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashykat:
No very likely not.

Like stated before, WinMo has to be licensed to you to use. Plus there won't be any drivers available for this phone for WinMo. It's very unlikely to happen. Bummer than you get poor GSM coverage. I wanted the HD2 but they really dropped the ball on supply. I put my name on the wait list over a month ago and I still haven't gotten a call. I've called them and I'm still on the list but they say they're getting 2 or 3 in a week. That's pretty unacceptable so I just said screw it I'm switching to Sprint and getting an Evo. And yes, I pre-ordered this time so I'm definitely getting one. Lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob2300nx:
If you mean having access your system via file explorer meaning the phone, then yeah android definitely has that. If you mean having access to your computers OS from your phone, android may do that (not sure thought I saw an app that does that-not that I know why this would be all that important).

Zip and rar....your right it only works with zip I believe, rar seems like a no go right now.

Microsoft Word? There are apps for word (although its probably not as good as windows mobile obviously)

"if not downright necessary -i.e. tethering" not sure what kind of tethering you meant here...but android has many internet tethering options (both wired like pdanet and wireless options).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kshawn:
Can we just all agree that having "options" is a great thing. I have friends with all sorts of phones platforms; rim, iPhone, android, winmo. For all different reasons. may it be fitting in, following a crowd, eye candy or down right pure functionality.

What ever doesn't work for you, forget it and get what does.

I personally like android I think it's new and refreshing it does everything I need it to do thus far. I'm simply a student and work part-time. So at this point the business venue of a windows phone is unappealing to me at this point but I can still appreciate the platform for what it is. When I loan my friends TP2 *which is awesome btw* I always enjoy using it and seeing what knew nicks and knacks he added to it with the help of the great xda devs.

Other than apps on the iPhone I don't care for it. how many of those apps will I use religiously anyway?

I never had a rim device personally but they seem "aiite" for what they need to do.

Let's just all agree that technology is great and that having options to freely choose what works is even better. No one is forcing anything upon you, So those of you with a severe case of fanboy/fangirl-ism should really simmer down a tad bit.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrX8503:
I'm all up for having options just as long it moves technology forward. Microsoft has been sitting on its laurels with WinMo for far too long and WinMo7 is incredibly late to the game.

For that alone, and my less than stellar experience with WinMo, I wouldn't give WinMo 6.5 the time of day. WinMo6.5 is a prime example of stagnant technology and where Microsoft refused to innovate.

Microsoft better bring their "A" game with WinMo7 considering they are almost 4 years late since iPhone OS, and around 2 years late behind Android.
