See, this is exactly what I'm trying to avoid: some things work, some don't and you have to figure them out by yourself, test it and see how it works for you.

I really hope that HTC will bring Froyo to my Desire (and soon!) because A2SD is the only thing I really miss right now. (OK, there are a few other things but really not that important: Bluetooth transfer, wireless tether, proper vcf support, edit in Gmail forwarding/replying to name just a few).
[Desire General] oursoul:
Well just now I did a bit of experimenting and its paid off.

I took the Modaco zip, opened it in winrar and went the the /system/apps/ folder and deleted the things I dont care for.. wavesecure, all the twitter crap, stocks, footprints and the navigator app... then I installed that from my SD using unrevoked.

It works great, the apps I dont like are gone and I dont see any problems.

<Happy Bunny.

I just hope now a better version on unrevoked will come along so I can enable my A2SD painlessly. Anyway, I'm gonna settle into the MoDaCo 3.1 and get it sweet like my stock was only 2 days ago LOL!
[Desire General] djoni1980:
Thanks for sharing it with us, I didn't know it's that easy... :)

I would like to get rid of Wave Secure on r3.1, but since I already applied A2SD+ and everything is working fine, don't want to risk anything - I will wait for Froyo :D
[Desire General] pascanu:
I'm not sure it's THAT easy. AFAIK you have to resign the .zip file so you can flash it.

@oursoul: are you saying that unrevoked allows you to use unsigned zip files?
[Desire General] oursoul:
No idea I just went balls deep and got rid of what I didn't want and let winrar save it, funnily enough for the filename I had removed the 'signed' at the end and replaced it with my name. It was just an experiment but its working great :) So I guess yes it does (or something), it flashed perfectly. I must admit I was a little surprised but also satisfied hehe.

@djoni1980, before (and what led me to this new experiment) I easily managed to remove wavesecure by going to 'Manage Applications' and finding Wavesecure there and clearing its cache and forcestopping it. Then shutdown the phone and start again in recovery. Plug in USB, open command prompt to ADB and putting

adb shell mount /system

adb shell ls /system/app/

Look on this list near the bottom you should see com.wsandroid.apk (i think it was called that) so then

adb shell rm /system/app/com.wsandroid.apk

Which deletes the app in question.

It worked fine after reboot and the app was removed, I did this as well with twitter, footprints & stocks.

(thanks to this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6710113&postcount=5 for guidance)
[Desire General] pascanu:
Wow. You are a recipe for disaster! :eek:
[Desire General] oursoul:
lol why.. it worked didn't it? Anyway at this stage of the game I can do what I like with the ROM cos afaik that does not affect the recovery stage (which is the whole reason for all this). DO you see what I mean, there's nothing to fear once you're rooted and have the recovery sorted.

Anyway its stable now, I've installed most of my favourite apps and gonna go back to using my phone normally for a while at least until UnrEVOked gets updated so I can use A2SD+ properly and back it up.
[Desire General] al89nut:
Balls Deep, Ass Licking....
[Desire General] oursoul:
I can't help that rooting gets me horny :D

Anyway, I thought my little adaptation had cause a problem.. I tried downloading the HTC Dice widget (i like it) and it doesn't install. So to narrow things down I flashed my phone with the standard MoDaCo 3.1 again... and the Dice widget doesn't install either.

How bloody annoying is that!

Any reason?
[Desire General] rolfd:
Unrevoked allows the installation of unsigned zips, yes.

@ oursoul, if you download rom manager it uses a different version of the clockworkmod recovery that unrevoked has and it is working with ext partitions. Use this to create your ext.
[Desire General] oursoul:
Yes my friend I did that and managed to get a2sd working fine.

The problem I'm experiencing is that once a2sd is set up, unrevoked cannot seem to access the SDEXT ie the app partition which means I can't back it up with nandroid or format that partition with unrevoked's version of clockworkmod. The version on rom manager which I believe is post works fine. But I want to keep unrevoked on there do its up to the guys behind unrevoked to sort that out if they can or want to?
[Desire General] oursoul:
Just re-rooted my phone.. upon reflection once everything was installed there was **** all difference between now and before. So I'm going back.

Cheers.

Oh :(

Well for some reason the Generic ROM is now wanting to install, it reboots the phone and then throws up a USB connection error :(

Looks like I'm stuck with buggy root then.

Any complete unmodified roms I can apply with root please?

Sod it I'm keeping it how it is.. its just I have a bug that means it looks like HTC Facebook app is constantly updating, I dont like it.
[Desire General] oursoul:
un-rooted for now :) found custom firmware to be a little buggy and really just want to use my phone rather than be breaking it all the time

back on stock ROM now, and its set up very nicely.. I miss my rotary unlock and the 360 degree rotationableness of it... oh well I'll live, I feel more relaxed this way

it was good while it lasted :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamsi:
I know this has been discussed many times before...but bare with me.

I have the MCR 3.1 rom installed with A2SD+.

When I check the free phone memory, it says about 40MB free. Is that normal amount of free memory when A2SD in use??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djoni1980:
install quick system info from market to find out if your A2SD storage is working
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamsi:
OK, the Quick System info shows that a2sd is working.

Also if I check the /system/sd/app -folder, it shows lots of aplications there.

But if I check the /data/App -folder, it also is full of applications. Is this right??

Somehow that the amount of free memory (~40MB) sounds quite small.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh500:
I just got round to rooting and enabling A2SD+ yesterday. It seemed to be working fine for a lot of the software (went a bit mad and installed everything), checked every now and again to see if the internal memory was going down, seemed to stay the same at about 129MB free.

Setup mail etc. Checked to today to see it at 95MB. Just tried to install Google Earth and the memory went down to 79MB.

Can A2SD 'stop' working all of a sudden??
[Legend General] squire23:
Anyone know how I can change the default file settings for the Camcorder from 3gp to avi? Or what is the best file format to use to allow compatibility when sending the files to other phones (Nokia's etc.)

Is there a way that anyone could some how extract this keyboard from the early ChompSMS.apk and make it a keyboard for the Nexus One?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] borjus86:
this keyboard is in chomp?? where?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] htcmagic:
That keyboard is called swype, and is not part of chompsms.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rashad1:
It was included in the older versions of Chomp SMS, before there was a stock virtual keyboard.

It's not the Swype keyboard -_-
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] phewizzo:
Thats a iPhone style layout. How does it perform?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rashad1:
It works fine, it only works on older Android phones though...I like the bigger spacebar, easier to read letters, and the less cramped feel of the keyboard
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] esincho:
smart keyboard on market looks just like that
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rashad1:
Unfortunately it doesn't look similar enough for me. (The high res version looks even worse)

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] EclipseTouchPro:

[HD Mini General] mbangur:
HI

a peculiar issue faced...

I was using O2 mini earlier wherein I had 4000+ SMS

Using Jeyo Mobile Companion I restored all the sms to my new PDA

Now after i shifted to HTC HD mini, what i see is after i restored all the messages in inbox, my mobile use to hang (responds but takes lots of time).

When I click on Messages, it tells me "MESSAGE RESTORING"

Only option to do is to reboot the pda and dont go to messages .... Or delete the messages i restored..

I suppose in HTC sense SMS conversation mode, its taking hell lot of time to filter the sms per contact..

Any one faced this issue ? Any way to rebuild the conversation mode ?

Any tweak to do it ?

Cheers

[HD Mini General] Baadshah555:
That is the same problem I'm facing.. My previous Device was HTC TOUCH2(Special Version).. There I had 8,000+ SMSes.. But, I don't know what is the problem with HTC HD Mini..
[HD Mini General] mbangur:
i feel the only way is to disable HTC Sense and use Vito SMS Chat...

thats the option I am using as of now......

I'm trying to remove some preinstalled apps from /system/app folder. My phone is rooted.

When I'm trying this over adb it says that I only have Read permissions. What am I doing wrong? :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
Put the phone into recovery mode then do the adb commands.

You only have read access while booted. R/W access while in recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eggcake:
Mh I tried this but I couldn't even open the shell, said something.sh is missing.

You mean the normal recovery and not Clockworkmod or something, right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
You have to put it in the custom recovery. Clockworkmod or whichever one you use.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eggcake:
Ah okay, thank you, I will try that.

Though I need to use the normal recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eggcake:
I tried it with clockwork now. It works but when I do "cd system" and do "ls" it's empty...so I can't see any app-folder?!

Edit: Oh I forgot - do I need to mount system first using the partitions menu?!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayshah:
mount /system

At the adb shell.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eggcake:
Oy, thanks now I finally got it :rolleyes::D

Remove worked, pull didn't (or it took >5min for a simple apk file and I aborted it too early).

[Dash 3G, Snap General] dionysos77:
Hi Guys,

My wife traveled to Canada, And I'm looking for a smartphone to be bought cheaper than the ones in Turkiye, So , I found that TELUS HTC SNAP is feature rich phone (3G, GPS, Wi-Fi, BT) and 149 $ (no icontract)

Does this device worth that price?

http://www.telusmobility.com/en/ON/htc_snap_s510/index.shtml
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Mr. Clown:
Have you checked ebay for other snap options? unlocked. I assume when you say no contract, this phone will still locked by the carrier though (you will need to pay for that).
[Dash 3G, Snap General] orb3000:
I got a new Maple unbranded on ebay for 150US like 2 months ago, and this device it´s worth every dollar!
[Dash 3G, Snap General] dionysos77:
thank you for your replies, My wife turned back from canada, she didn't buy it coz, she couldn't find it. I will try to find an affordible one from my country.

There are versions of snap as I can see,

S510

S520

S521

S522

I can't imagine there are software changes , coz all of them are WinMo6.1, so what is the main difference between these snaps.

could you please help me to select one.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Mr. Clown:
Check - www.gsmarena.com under HTC or visit the HTC website ;)
[Dash 3G, Snap General] orb3000:
Pdadb is way better and is XDA partner!!

If you are looking for a GSM device just look for Maple

I do not speak english,so I will be in Chinese and English, accompanied, it is likely to be unreasonable hope that the master guiding.

About the English:

Hong Kong trip has to start five days Gw825V

Found many problems, Bluetooth is always just go away, and can not start; message issued unable to pronounce a few on the go, basically the factory of a few hours before, it is depressing.

With the official upgrade software update system, 10c to 10d, blue bud issue is resolved, SMS can only send a few, is the factory of a few hours, increasing MMS unable to pronounce to the problem (settings are no problem, because for the first time successful, go back unable to pronounce).

10g lg download in the U.S. system, a smooth upgrade, all English, all of the above issues are resolved, and fairly stable.

New problem: installed ce-star, or various versions of the font character have tried, have no problem receiving text messages sent, txt Chinese show no problem, but not show up in Chinese phone book, caller names are also mouth try an online description of the many ways has been ineffective.

chinese:

港行Gw825V已经入手五天了

发现很多问题，蓝牙总是无故消失，并且无法启动；短信发几条就发不出去，基本上几个小时就要出厂化一次，很郁闷。

用官方升级软件更新系统，10c到10d，兰芽问题解决了，短信也只能发几条，也是几个小时出厂化一次，增加彩信发不出去的问题（设置都没有问题，因为第一次成功了，后面发不出去）。

在美国lg网站下载10g系统，顺利升级，全英文，以上所有问题都解决，而且相当稳定。

新问题：装了ce-star或各种版本的字体字库都试过了，短信发送接受都没有问题，txt中文显示也没有问题，但是中文电话本显示不出来，来电姓名也都是口，试了网上介绍的很多办法都无效。

Do you mean you have a GW825V Chinese ROM and it Runs in an English ROM?

How did you do that? What ROM did you flashed?

Have you tried this?

My English WinMo devices can display and enter Chinese after installing the package from this site. Try searching for 小熊工作室. Studiokuma dot com

[Droid X Accessories] ThugEsquire:
Have there been any pics released of the official car dock for Droid X? Or any other Droid X-specific car docks?
[Droid X Accessories] Syco54645:
There have been. There were videos as well. I cannot remember where though. I want to know how it knows when it is plugged in and if this could be replicated so that I can use a cheaper dock...
[Droid X Accessories] navychief52:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=droid+x+car+dock
[Droid X Accessories] mavermc:
lol at navychief52 I didn't know such a thing, i'm going to use it all the time now.

But yes it can be replicated, here's the new feature though that you loose by using a generic car dock. It has a built in charging port, which means you can just slide your phone into the dock and not have to wire up a charger to it too.

as for the part where you put it in and it automatically starts up the car app, all you need is a magnet, atleast thats how i found the last droid docks worked. I don't know what strength it has to be for it's magnetic sensor to trigger the app, but I don't think it has to be very powerful at all. But I would glue that to the back of your generic car dock and you should be good to go. I know thats what I'll be doing.
[Droid X Accessories] Syco54645:
Ah thanks for that! I figured it would just be a magnet but wasn't sure. If I could find a dock with a nice beefy arm like the oem car dock then I would just use that. So far the only kind that I find are the ones that have a long bendable metal tube. Need something with more strength... To be fair I have not been looking too hard core yet.

I just do not like the idea of buying a dock for a device that I will probably not have a year later...
[Droid X Accessories] James cuck:
Besides the Droid X being unveiled today in New York, this car dock made an appearance as well.
[Droid X Accessories] generic.imitation:
can you keep the line in audio plug plugged into the car dock or do you need to plug it in manually to the phone everytime? I use a line in plug :rolleyes:

I've looked at everything, but I cannot find an answer to this.
[Droid X Accessories] dezoris:
It has a cable loom on the car dock for the wire however it goes into the phone.

Only the USB goes to the dock.

They really need to figure out a pass through or something for these things.
[Droid X Accessories] rolandroland:
At least the dock is very solid and easy to use. But agreed, would have been nice to plug jack into dock and dock have attached short cable to go into phone. So even if you have to plug every time, it is made easier.
[Droid X Accessories] generic.imitation:
Looks like I'll just get this bluetooth adapter for my car instead.

http://www.google.com/products?q=kensington+liquidaux+auxiliary+bluetooth+car+kit&hl=en&aq=f

Anyone know of something similar that plugs into an aux line like this one? I might get this, but I'm open to different stuff if it's better.

just ordered this: https://www.wiredforless.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SOUNDM2

when you check out, use the coupon code: WOOT for $20 off ($9.99 total including shipping)

can't beat that price and it looks like a pretty solid car dock. first review mentions that it is good with the Droid X.
[Droid X Accessories] 12yan:
thanks for the heads up! it looks pretty good! however, im concerned with the adhesive disk that is applied to our devices.... does it stick out... and would it affect cases and other things etc...
[Droid X Accessories] mezdup:
i honestly am not sure, but i ordered a ****ty $1 silicone case from ebay that i'll be using with the mount haha.
[Droid X Accessories] mavermc:
Silcon isn't that the soft cases? i'm not sure that would hold my phone tight enough, i drive a truck so there is lots of bouncing around. I think i'm gonna buy a cheep belt clip case, that way i can just clip the phone in and out.
[Droid X Accessories] mezdup:
so my mount came in literally 2 days after i ordered. ridiculously fast shipping; they must be located nearby. haven't installed yet but it's pretty small and unobtrusive. seems like a good buy thus far. the discs that stick to the back of your device (comes with 2) are a lot skinnier than i thought they would be. might just put it on my normal everyday case. i don't think i'll run into problems slipping it in and out of my project with the disc on the back.
[Droid X Accessories] mavermc:
I've ordered mine as well as ordering a cheep belt clip so i can snap it in and out. Too me the twisting motion (while awesome for the secure locking) seems a bit much for my lifestyle of always jumping in and out of my car.

Ill probably use the 2nd disc on the same clip so i can have landscape and portrait
[Droid X Accessories] motionblurrr:
Just ordered one myself. For $10 shipped, I figured I might as well give it a shot. :D
[Droid X Accessories] cbaty08:
I got my "Slip Grip" mount in the mail today and for the $20 bucks it cost it is very much worth it.

The mount is VERY sturdy, seller shipped it same day too!! Check it out!

Only downside is it is just a mount, it doesn't have any plugs for power n such, but does leave all of the ports available if you had like a car charger or AUX cable running while it is in there.
[Droid X Accessories] jwangle:
Got the car mount from vzw today have to say it is bulkier than my Droid 1 mount, but that is expected with this phone. Looks good on the dash mount in an F250.

Another mod is the cup holder or air vent mounting as long as you have the "magenet" behind the mount then your GPS app displayes correctly. or the Verizon or Motorola sites sell you the suction cup OEM unit for $ 45 - $ 50 bucks.
