I want to permanently remove windows mobile and use android only. I want to do a internal formation to create the fat32 and ext2 partition to put android on so it boots up without giving me an option to use windows mobile or xandroid.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Uhm these guides are for setting up an ext2 (Linux-based) partition on your card... is that what you're trying to do...?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] SweJap:
Ah, I read it as formating the phone itself, not the memory card. Thanks for pointing that out. Guess I will leave the studies alone for a while now or else I'll turn into a zombie :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
yes this is to setup on external (diamond is internal) memory.

currently there is no setting up in nand on our devices. windows mobile is still needed to initalize some hardware. without it android would not run at all at this point.

however there are some roms out there that only boot the minimum needed for winmo and then boots android automatically.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] heavymetalmage:
I've been trying to just this but linux won't recognize my phone at all. The problem could be that I'm using VM Virtualbox and using Puppy Linux. I'll have to get my Ubuntu computer up and running.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] SweJap:
Thanks for the reply. Makes things more clear now and I will try out another rom like you recommended.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Ceger:
Pretty awesome, and has a nice toggle ability to go from swype typing to tap typing which makes it very easy for password entry.

Only thing it lacks is the ability to hold on a key for alternate characters.

Check it out in the market.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kyleblakepeters:
does the UI still look like crap? I remember it looking very los-res on my hero, couldn't imagine how bad it'd be on the evo.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Ceger:
They redesigned it to have a layout like the standard keyboard. However, it has no long press alt keys, so you need to switch to the number/character set when typing numbers, etc. Slightly inconvenient, but hey. I wish Shapewriter was still be supported and they added a voice key to that. That would have been absolutely perfect.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diamond360:
Hi guys,

I just run linpack for my HTC DESIRE Unbranded (stock rom no root or anything); don't laugh, 6.878 mflops . Then i wanted to know the top devices that have highest mflops. The Droid can go up to 52 mflops; the nexus 55 mflops (the notes show: 1300mhz google/passion/mahimahi:2.1-update/ERE27/24178:user release keys); the desire 47 mflops (the note show: 1267.2 mhz htc wwe/htc_bravo/bravo:2.1-update/ERE27/155070:user/release keys.

My questions: which rom have i have to install to have these 40 mflops? Froyo Rom? 2.1 Rom? How can it be possible for the Desire with 2.1 to have 47 mflops???
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
Install a Froyo rom and overclock the processor :D

I got 45.something when I used a froyo rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkoange:
You must have Froyo because of the JIT who will give you the best augmentation (to be at something like 38 Mflops) and then overclok the CPU with setcpu (for example) to go for 42-45 Mflops.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diamond360:
Can you advise me? Which froyo is stable and hot sexy boom? Will everything working? Like video record (I see that sometimes froyo rom can't have it worked!).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascottuk:
Hot sexy boom, I don't think I have laughed so hard at a post on here before,

Anyway no froyo roms support video recording as of yet, defrost is a good rom, but its best to try out yourself and see which one you get on with

There is a guide on root and flashing a Rom, I advise for ease of use use Rom manager off the market for your Rom flashing needs

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diamond360:
Thanks ^^. I would forward for the debfrost rom. Otherwise, is there any 2.1 rom which can go to 40 mflops? Go for the HTC DESIRE, it show that some 2.1 rom can go up to 17 mflops http://www.greenecomputing.com/apps/linpack/linpack-by-device/
[HD2 General] iainbp:
all of a sudden my phone is asking me to format my memory card, and the mc is not showing up on file explorer.

i didnt want to format it but in the end i had to . but still it says format memory card. and i still cant get into it .

can someone pls help on this as i have done everything i can think of

thanks in advance
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
have you been playing with the ramdisk tweaks? If yo dont set 'autoformat' it asks every boot.
[HD2 General] :
If the memory card is not showing up and even does not after a format, your card could be bad ....
[HD2 General] shak7i:
its time to change your card. your hd2 has corrupted your card. but don't worry you are not the only one having this problem. there are tons of users out there who got this prob.
[HD2 General] iainbp:
no dont even know where to find that . it just happened was not playin with it at the time .

does this mean i have to get another sd card? or is there a way to get it working again ????
[HD2 General] :
im pretty sure a format will fix it.
[HD2 General] iainbp:
tryed that a few times now . and nowt different. when i try to format it from the pc it says write protected.

not sure what to try next . im all thinked out :confused:
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
firstly, i have nothing but trouble with adapters that the switch slides to write protect when you enter it in the reader slot. I ended up taking them all off, so double and tripple check that.

Secondly, if you go to control panel/administrative tools/computer management (or words to that effect, depending on windows version)

look for disk management, and find your sd card there. See what it says, it could be that you can format it from there, or rebuild teh partition.

(Better still if you have a partition manager program handy, see if you can force it to rebuild the partition on teh card.)

However in all likelihood, its a duff card. It seems to be an emerging theme with the leo, cards going bad.
[HD2 General] SiL3nTKiLL:
mayb its not formatted correctly?
[HD2 General] teejayenator:
my pc wont even detect the card now :(
[HD2 General] jokies:
My sandisk 8g works fine:-) get another TF maybe？
[HD2 General] teejayenator:
thats the only option i have as of now.....but what if that suffers the same fate?
[HD2 General] iainbp:
when i go into device management it says the card is healthy but it still wont work . think its easyer just to get a new card

edit* now my pc cant even format the card. BUGGER
[HD2 General] skyhi0:
BAD disk

You said something about memory card being BAD. What does it mean. When trying to make a partition, I saw something saying "bad disk" talking about my 32 gig MC.

I cannot reformat my MC and when tried, it says "windows unsuccessfully formatted the device". Any ideas on how to reformat my sd card friends?
[HD2 General] snowman2765:
I stopped using windows to format my sdcard as it does a mediocre job at best. All I use now is sdformatter. It does a much better job. I even had a card my hd2 said was bad and it revived it. Give it a try. I also use mini tool partition wizard for any and all partitioning required.
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
For those out there cooking away - if there is anything you can do to cure the bluetooth bug, it would be great ... something which makes the phone start voice dialer based on a headset-button push WITH accepting the dial command over bluetooth (you know, something WM has had forever).

Thanks :)
[Droid Incredible General] n0-0ne:
It's not a bug and it's not fixable unless you install froyo. For some reason google decided no one needed this feature until just now.
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
Umm

You are correct, it is not called a bug, it is called a "known issue"

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1181

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1412

Anyway ... hopefully this "known issue" can get fixed ASAP by you skilled cookers :)
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
Its not a bug and support is in Android. Its just not finished in 2.1 and has been disabled. Call it a broken feature, but its not a bug.
[Droid Incredible General] sdorn77:
That is funny because it has been listed as a problem on the android code website since 2008.
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
LOL...I enabled it on a Moto Droid rom. Trust me, its there, merely disabled.
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:

Of course, it doesn't work so hot in 2.1.

Hopefully will be fixed in FroYo
[Galaxy S I9000 General] austinchimp:
Does the Galaxy S have HDMI output at all?

I've read in some places that it does, but haven't found a definitive answer.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nanolite:
It does not have HDMI.

You can however use DLNA to wirelessly transfer HD video from the SGS to your TV, which also must be DLNA compatible.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kleany:
you can also use component cables and connect it to the 3.5 jack. That works also, theres a video on youtube of someone doing it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BuddaBelly:
I have a Samsung 58 inch Plasma with DLNA support and cant wait to try it out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pphmmr:
@Kleany: is not possible. trough 3,5 jack it can transfer only sound !!!

In this video they used DLNA technology to transfer video from galaxy to LCD screen.

Have you seen HDMI cable? there are many pins and cables is not possible use only 3-4 pins to transfer digital video signal.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] d0p3d:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x99percent:
I really dislike having to reconfigure my e-mail accounts every time I wipe my phone for a different ROM. Back in the Touch Pro days, I was able to create an XML file that would configure my e-mail accounts for me on the first boot.

Is there a similar tool/method available on Android?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
If you are talking exchange or other types off accounts other than Google:

Well, if you are sticking with the sense roms, you can backup your email settings with Titanium. I am sure you can on AOSP as well, but I doubt they will go from one to the other, the email client is different.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambenjamin:
If you guys saw DoidDogs video (on Mac though, but the same issue) He says the way you do it is to put the loop command on the screen but dont hit enter yet. Then get ready to click recovery and you do them basically at the same time or just a split second apart. It took him about a dozen tries, but he claims it helped.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Duath:
Hi, for few days when I installed first modified ROM into my TP i noticed that I have problem with connection and synchronisation. When I connect device via USB and set sync pda is connecting and disconnecting. The same problem with connectin via storage. I don't know why I can't establish connection via USB and BT ... I tried few differend ROMs, differend RadioROMs and it didn't help. I checked connections options, tried HR after updating new ROM and nothing helped ... :( Is this problem possible because of updating HardSPL? I didn't notice that problem when I had oem ROM, because I haven't got usb cable. FYI i tried 4 ROM from Energy and one PROven ROM by qsqa (PLK rom). Could someone help me?

PS: I don't have problem with charging my device and option 'charge when connected to PC' is on.

Fully charged my phone night before last and went to work in the morning (9am). I didn't touch it all day, didn't even turn it on. On my drive home at 5pm it was dead, off.

I plugged it in with the phone off when I got home and saw that it was fully charged a few hours later around 10pm and I booted it up and left it alone. This morning it was dead, off.

Looking at the apps that take up my battery doesn't work because it doesn't retain information what happened to the phone prior to the last reboot. Not sure what to do. My awake time matches my standby time exactly. It's obviously a 100% awake time problem but what's triggering this?

I'm on Fresh .3 with absolutely no other mods. I don't think I have any apps that ping outside servers. So what the ****!?

EDIT:

lulz, I just realized I haven't been even able to use the phone in 3 days due to this issue :(
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Something is eating your battery obviously.

Restore to stock and see if you have the same issues.
[EVO 4G General] scirio:
That's a PITA. This is a clean fresh .3 rom install with only logmein, dropbox and couple non-online games installed. Why is this phone such ****ing fail right now.
[EVO 4G General] cbuc1125:
Have you removed the Favorites widget? Doing that stopped all battery drain problems for me. Just delete the widget.
[EVO 4G General] mysterioustko:
First thing to check is if you have a sufficient cellular signal. If you are getting a weak signal it will cause poor battery life. If cell signal strength is not your problem then it is definitely something you have installed on it eating away at your battery. That said check/do the following:

1) Check how frequently you have your accounts syncing

2) Before the phone dies look in your battery use to see what's eating your battery

3) Install a task manager/killer (I use Advanced Task Killer)

4) You don't have to do this one but it does help. I use a program called Startup Auditor to disable startup on apps I don't need to run when the phone first boots (you'd be surprised how many are in there).
[EVO 4G General] healthpellets:
delete it completely or remove it from one of the home panels?
[EVO 4G General] scriptx:
the "time without signal" workarounds seem to prove the most effective for me. in addition, reduce background usage and automatic update frequencies as best as you can.

according to this thread [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=709768] (and link within), HTC has acknowledged some issues and is preparing to deploy a few fixes.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
You are running someone else's ROM, there could be a problem with the radio, or a problem with the way it was loaded.

If you are in an area where you don't get signal, you are going to drain the battery, and FAST.

Do you have 4g on but not in a 4g area?
[EVO 4G General] masbirdies:
I am...

fully rooted and have fresh .3 as well. I am getting over 30hrs with moderate use and the last hour of that I had everything on to purposely run it down to dead. (was doing a toastch recommeded battery meter calibration).

Took my phone off the charger last night at 7:30 pm. It's 2:23pm and I have 31% left. I have Wifi, BT, and Background apps with auto sync turned on.

I would say you might be experiencing the Motorola cell tower problem. HTC has confirmed that the EVO is not playing well with cell towers that have motorola transmitters. It is causing the phone to use more energy to dial in the tower.

To be sure...

1. Set all apps and widgets to manual update or update once a day.

2. Get rid of the people app or widget from any home screen.

3. Go into Gtalk and uncheck auto sign in. Then sign out when you exit the program.

4. charge the phone until the green light comes on. Don't use a battery meter. The second the green light comes on, go into recovery and wipe the battery stats. Reboot the phone and run it until the battery dies and will not longer power the phone. This does nothing for the battery but does recalibrate the internal battery meter.

5. For maximum life...turn off: background data, WiFi, BT, and Mobile networks when not using. keep screen at 1/2 brightness.

If I do the above and manually update mail, weather, social apps, etc... and only turn radios on when I need them, I can get 40 hrs. out of my EVO and this is under moderate to high moderate use.

One other thing....plug your phone in for 10 minutes. Then unplug it and go into immediate stand by for like 30 minutes. Go to settings>about phone>battery>battery use>cell standby. Time without signal should be very low....anything over 10-15% and I'd suspect that if you did everything in 1-5, you have a towers issue robbing your battery.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
I was having awake time issues with Fresh .3, so I switched to DamageControl, and everything has been great. Unplugged this morning at 7, and I still have 75% battery remaining. Better battery life than the Hero or BlackBerry Tour!
[EVO 4G General] sherman901:

(sorry my account is not allowed to post links)

As you can see besides the internet, there is nothing else thats taking up the battery. Also I took this pic after I put the phone on the charger for a bit, it was at ~ 13% before. The battery usage information says a majority of the battery was used by #1 android system and #2 cell standby, it was neck and neck almost, with #3 being phone idle. My weather app polls every 3 hours, my facebook syncs every 30 mins, my htc sense facebook syncs once a day, and I have not configured any other emails except for two gmail acconts, which received probably 3 emails throughout the whole day.

I just used setcpu today, it made absolutely no difference. Same results as yesterday when I did not have setcpu. Thanks in advance for the help!
[EVO 4G General] proloss:

[EVO 4G General] qendadar:
Why would anyone use an EVO as a simple phone.

I am beginning to think peoples opinions on moderate use vary tooooo much. The EVO is similar to an unplugged laptop. The more you make the cpu work the faster your battery is going to drain.

It seems some people just dont get that.
