I guess nobody listens to the people that know what they are talking about. Then they always complain when it doesn't work properly. #Ironic

Enough for you?

And I'm aware that 2.2 automatically kills idle apps, which is all the more reason that you do not need swap.

And your phone cannot access the /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard partition while it is connected to your computer as removable storage. Try it.

Try downloading something to your sdcard while it's connected as removable storage. You can't. Your phone does not have access to the sdcard. In fact... while it's mounted to your computer go to settings SD card & phone storage settings and tell me what it says under Total space and Available space.

Do NOT use a large .swp file because your phone is constantly writing to the sdcard! All it takes is a single instance of removing it without unmounting it and you will have corrupted the entire contents of the fat partition. That is what I mean by restoring the data on the sdcard. I use an ADATA 16gb class 6 sdcard and each time that I tried with the .swp file I ended up losing my data because of random kernel crashes, dead battery, unsafe sdcard mounting etc.

But if you are really convinced of otherwise then go on ahead but I'll tell you right now, I will refuse to help anyone that never listened to my advice the first time. If I give a warning and if someone doesn't listen then it's all on them. I will personally refuse to help them and I wouldn't blame anyone for doing the same. Cyanogen warned users not to use swap. So those that have issues shouldn't complain to him or anyone else because it's their own fault.

All quotes from Cyanogen on twitter. You should follow him and learn something.

You can actually access the swap partition from a Linux based OS such as Ubuntu/Live CD.

When you mount the sdcard you also have access to the ext2,3,4 partition if it's available.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
See what I get for being Windows exclusive? Edited my first post to be more precise with my wording.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] endolith:
In Linux, both the SD and EXT partitions are mounted, but I can see and access all three. I can see all three partitions in Windows 7 Disk Management, too, but of course Windows can only mount the FAT partition.

I've got a G1. :)

I'm looking for truth, not rumor. I'm not going to blindly accept statements made without explanation.

Nope. I want to understand why it's a bad idea. Twitter posts aren't exactly comprehensive.

This is not a recommendation against swap. Someone was talking about disabling swap, and he said it's not his problem because CM doesn't come with swap enabled.

I read this as "If you're having problems with apps closing, disable swap and task managers. Maybe you have those configured wrong." That doesn't mean swap is inherently harmful.

This thread is about speed and performance, not harm.

Yes, this is the standard response in threads like this. "Android automatically manages tasks and memory, so you shouldn't try to second-guess it". But, empirically, swap makes the phone run better and faster.

If you switch to another app from the browser, for instance, the browser almost always gets killed, and then it has to reload the entire page from the Internet when you switch back to it. This takes wayyyy longer than reloading the state from swap, and causes problems when the web page is dynamic.

Many apps take much longer to start up than they should, or don't actually return to the same state when they're restarted, and swapping them out works better. I'm guessing the people who are happy with the stock system use their phones differently.

Yes, I already agreed with that. Swap file is a bad idea since it's inaccessible when you mount on the computer, but swap partition still is. Agreed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Well it sounds like you have answered the threads questions then. An expert such as yourself should have come along a while ago and stated this for the community. Now that you have discredited Cyanogen and all the other Senior Members and developers maybe I'll just direct all of my private messages regarding swap, compcache and userinit.sh scripts to you. Enjoy it! ;)
[Hero CDMA General] chugger93:
Anyone know of a way to stream video from the HERO to another device? I'm sure the EVO can do it since its got HDMI out. Basically what I'm looking for is soon here on my vacation I was thinking if my 11 month old gets fussy I could stream micky mouse which I already have in mp4 format on my phone to my portable DVD player.

My dvd player is old though and I only see AV out and AV in. No svideo, rca or anything. It may not even be possible. I'm open to buying something else cheap tho. Any other ideas?

I wonder if I could just buy a smal 8 inch portable TV off amazon and stream it to there? In the car ride of course
[Hero CDMA General] centran:
It appears that the functionality needs to be in the hardware. It might be possible to do on our phones but I don't think it is possible to have a general any Android with USB support type of thing. I would imagine modules would have to be compiled into the kernel for it to work so it would be on a phone to phone basis with a custom ROM and that is probably why no one has put the effort into it.
[Hero CDMA General] chugger93:
n/m I found an HTC OEM usb mini to RCA cable that will work wonders. My brother in law uses it to stream video from his phone to his car LCD display.
[Hero CDMA General] chugger93:
Anyone know of a TV OUT android app though? I'm assuming you'd need something like that

I used to regularly watch the daily flash video content on www.wimp.com this content now no longer plays on the desire. Possibly something to do with the recent update? Any ideas? Cheers.
[Desire General] dunk71:
Hello,

Just discovered that flash has stopped working on BBC web site + others. Message on site says flash 10. 1 is available for Android 2. 2 check to see if your device is compatable. What's going on? Is it my phone or is everyone the same? Was working earlier today. Only thing I've done is download Spare Part from the market. Help would be much appreciated.
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
You have Android 2.1 or flashed a 2.2 ROM?

Anyway, it could very well be they implemented a check on the website. And they now check for a certain version to be available. And so you are now getting this message.

I mean, once they put that new check online you can't see stuff anymore :).

Dunno if spare parts has anything to do with it. Does spare parts do anything with Flash then? If so, I never noticed it before.
[Desire General] dunk71:
Running standard 2. 1, but there's another post, so not just me! Spare part was the only change I'd made since it was working
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
I posted about this too. wimp.com flash video stopped playing too. It's not the website, I think something in the phone has changes since the firmware update for me. thats when I first noticed it. booooooo

[Desire General] foxmeister:
That's because the BBC iPlayer supplies H264 streams to the iPhone - nothing to do with Flash!

I suspect that many flash sites are moving to Flash 10.1 now that it has finally left beta.

Regards,

[Desire General] th3:
Yep, it has stopped working. Confirmed. And Dave's suggestion is the most likely reason.

This is a good move... I hope they all move to it fast. I can only imagine HTC speeding up the Froyo release due to it. As Flash is a big deal for this phone to every customer.

If you set the install location to "external" you will see "move to sdcard" on the app management, and new apps will install there.

Looked for it in the marketplace.. Can't find it.. can I get this anywhere else ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] worker1:
You can use goggles on the image I posted
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BBCasper:
You can also do this through adb.

adb remount

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

DONE.

via Terminal Emulator:

pm setInstallLocation 2

Very simple hack.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kobecamp2009:
Make sure you type Mod Install Location and NOT modinstalllocation

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SBERG117:
Seems to do what it says, all my apps are on the SD card now. Very easy to use.

"edit" Seems as though beautiful widgets stops working,least beautiful small home does. All icons on home screen turn generic and disappear from app menu. Easy to fix, just load apps back to phone. Was worth a try but doesnt seem like the test version of froyo is ready for it. Maybe i missed something but this also happened before i installed the modinstaller. Once i moved stuff back to phone the problem fixed itself.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] scorpion_s66:
is this app install on non-rooted nexus one with 2.1 or not???
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codesplice:
Widgets and such should not be installed to the external storage as they are needed by the OS before the SD card is mounted. This also goes for any other software that needs to auto-run.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] diversificationied:
Correct, which is why applications like the one in the OP will do more harm than good.

Let the developer of the application decide if it's ok to install the application to SD!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SBERG117:
As i stated in my post the problem happened before i installed the modinstaller. Take titanium backup for example. That let you move it to the SD card if you wanted, but when i did the same problem came up. Loss of icon on homescreen( meaning it changed to generic icon) and loss of icon in appmenu( gone, not there at all).

Ive since just put all apps back on my phone. So is there any reason why its happening if the modinstaller isnt even installed? Ive asked in other threads and more or less the answer was a froyo bug. Can someone confirm this? Any info would be appreciated ......thnx :D:D:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] underamoon:
Very usefull. Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jerrycycle:
I had this issue when I first went to 2.2. I didn't do a wipe so I think this was why I had the issue. I wiped then re-flash 2.2.

I learn what apps can or should be on the internal to work. Someone stated in the earlier post that apps with widgets and some that have a auto update feature have to be running from the internal.

I start with all apps move to sd then test it after a reboot. If It doesn't reload or update I then go to settings- manage applications and on sdcard choose move to phone. Then after I have moved app to the phone then reboot and all works for me.

Can't re-install

I had this app with FRF50 and it worked great. After upgrading to FRF72 and then FRF83 I can't install it at all - not even from my SD card. It just says "Installation Unsuccessful" (if I try from the Market) or "Application Not Installed" if I try to install it from my SD card.

I ran pm setInstallLocation 2 through the Terminal Emulator - and I think it may have worked - but it'll only work on future apps that I install. I don't have the option of moving existing apps to the SD.

Any suggestions - I really miss this app, and I really need it.

(I can't install any Google apps either - if there is a connection....)

As title says. Had Villain installed on my Hero, and looking to put stock back onto it, I don't care if this "un-roots" it either. Is this possible?

I've tried downloading the normal RRU and that malarky and it just won't recognise the USB through the HTC client, always comes up with the same error. I read around and saw that a ROOT cannot be used / put on without using a custom rom, so is there any way of getting a stock rom on, or reversing things? I think you guys get the idea of what I'm on about.. cheers!

Re: Reverting to stock ROM from Villian6?

There is a guide by BTDAG in the development section called something like " Setting up drivers for x86 x64", should be on pg 1, 2 or 3 in Development. Use that to make sure the drivers for HTC Sync are set up correct.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ueikap:
I had more or less the same problem.

If I'm not wrong, the application "HTC Sync" has to be present on your ROM to make the RUU installation possible.

This application could has been removed from the ROM you're using to save phone memory.

Try to reinstall this "HTC Sync" on your phone and try the RUU again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petemt:
And how do you install HTC Sync on your HERO with custom ROM?

I've got the same problem... But I also can't find the RUU for Belgium...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ueikap:
You have to find the apk PCSCII.apk and push it to /system/app of your phone.

Take a look here :

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ueikap:
Even more simple :

restore the nandroid backup your should have been done before installing the custom ROM your are using, then try to RUU
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublue:
Funny, i tried goldcard and most of the other guides. But in the end, i found out that it only worked when i flashed the stock rom i wanted to downgrade to, from bootloader.

Then run the RUU setup for the rom you have flashed on the phone..

Worked for me :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petemt:
And then my HTC Sync is installed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ueikap:
Install the application HTC Sync on your pc,

if this application detect your phone and you see sync icon in the notification bar, the RUU should recognise it as well and you would be able to revert to stock.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] aspromalee:
I just recently bought the Tilt 2. I likes, but would also likes to tweak a little. I have seen other TF2 phones that have the weather interface just under the clock itself, w/ cool animations. Anyway to get that same thing for my AT&T phone? Anyone with a program or fix I can use?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Aaron McCarthy:
Have you read through the forums or used the "search" feature to look for what you want? This isnt just as easy as installing a fix or new clock. You need to update your manilla/touch flo 3d interface to Sense 2.1 or 2.5. This CAN be done via cab I believe however I cant speak about performance with that method as I have never done it... Most people just flash an entire new rom to their phone that has sense 2.1 or 2.5 preinstalled in it.

Sounds to me like you're running an old stock rom from your carrier. Most carriers have updated their roms as it is so you can probably just download a new one from your carriers website or something and update it and then you wont have to hardspl your phone and temporarily void the warranty. Again, do some reading you'll find what you need. If someone wants to just thrown this person the links feel free to chime in. It's not hard to search though. If you cant figure out how to use that search feature box in the top right of practically every page on this forum your best bet is just to go into google and type what you want followed by XDA after it and you'll find the threads that way.

Good luck!

tilt 2 fix FLASH TO A CUSTOM ROM!

lol man i had the same, i bought the tilt 2, i thought id be an iphone killer, is ok, but i hated that i couldnt customize to my own way of liking. anyways

the best and only fix i could tell you is FLASH TO A CUSTOM ROM, i love my phone so much more, its pretty safe if you follow the tutorials step by step.

it makes your phone so much better, then youll get the features YOU want.

i tried the e2 rom fisrt and its pretty much stock TP2, but no brands nowhere, i loved it, but i wanted more, so i tried the white GTX themed rom ENERGY, but it was too bright when driving at night, maybe for the movies too, its cool thou, but i didnt like how the cloudy weather would blend in with the rest, anyways

now im trying the MAXSENSE 2.5 i like it, but its different to the first one i tried and fell in love with, imma try it for a lil longer maybe i fall in love and forget the e2 rom, but so far e2 and energy are my favorite.

read read read, because i got so confused at first when i see roms for 6.5 and then 6.5.x or 6.5.1, all it is a different design, i didnt like the new sms because its kinda complicated to understand and has the send button to the right kinda like the touchflo send button on the stock tilt and the back button (6.5.1 or x) where the send button is on the 6.5 sms app.

i liked the GTX 6.5 sms skin because its like bubbles like the iphone not as pretty but deff not regular and plain.

but now that im using the ENERGY MAXSENSE ROM im kinda missing the e2 rom, but i hear energy rom is the best one. so imma keep playing with it.

let me know if you need more simple explanations than found here. because i had to go through the same when i first got on here lol

Hi,

I wonder if there is a way to run a prepaid mobile broadband sim from the PDA instead of using the dongle connected to a laptop or desktop?

In other words is there a connection manager for PDA phone by any chance?

This will certainly increase the usability of the sim, one can get connected from anywhere - no laptop/desktop needed!

Cheers,

Fulham
[Touch HD General] mfeodoroff:
If you want to use the phone as a modem, then yes this is possible. You can use Internet Sharing on the phone to connect the laptop via USB or Bluetooth, or better still install WifiRouter to connect the lappy via wifi and connect to the Internet via 3G.

I do this when I travel OS on hols.
[Touch HD General] fulham:
I think you are referring to using the phone as a modem and then connect the laptop for web surfing via it. But this is not what I want to do.

I want to put the sim (by taking out one in the usb dongle (prepaid mobile broadband) supplied by the carrier) in my touch hd sim card slot and get connected, then surf internet FROM WITHIN THE DEVICE (touch HD) ITSELF.

Thx

[Touch HD General] mfeodoroff:
OK...I see now. I suspect you can, although you may need to configure the phone with appropriate connection settings for your carrier. If you are lucky the SIM *may* do this for you.

Having said all that, don't be too suprised if it doesn't work. Also, the handset will need to be unlocked before you put the prepaid SIM in it.
