[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
@Supergluey basically, a2sd just moves the apps, while a2sd+ also moves the dalvik cache.

The Froyo implementation is pretty lame (only moves apps if allowed by creator) and is best ignored.

If your rom comes with the legacy a2sd (not Froyo native) then you can partition your sd card in Recovery Mode by setting a 0 MB swap size, an ext2 size (dedicated for apps) of 512 MB, and remaining space to the FAT32 file system (mass storage space).

You then convert ext2 to ext3 while still in Recovery Mode.

Explanation about how Dalvik cache works: when Android OS starts up, the DalvikVM looks through all of your applications (.apk files) and frameworks, and builds a tree of dependencies. It uses this dependency tree to optimise the bytecode for every application and stores it in the Dalvik cache. The applications are then run using the optimised bytecode. This is why when you install a new ROM, sometimes it takes a very long time to boot for the first time. Any time an application (or framework library) changes, it's re-optimised and the cache is updated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Supergluey:
Thanks MasDroid.:) I get the differences now. But i have a problem. So like my last post I install the official froyo rom that is posted on here by AdamG. I loved it cause its based off some hong kong test rom and i'm in HK :) However, he added more features to it such as the apps to sd (not the froyo one ) and davlik cache app to sd.

I formatted my 8GB with the swap file , fat 32 and ext 2 converted to ext 3 respectively to the sizes you stated. However whenever i install apps it still goes to the internal memory! I tried different partitions and it still doesn't' work! I tried wiping everything and re-flashing the rom and it doesn't' work. I also tried forcing it to install to external but all apps just fails to install. I tried reformat and remove all partitions and re partition again once through recovery mode and another through the android sdk and using adb. Is it the sd card problem?

When i first rooted my phone, with defrost and then later changing to devillian. It worked. Apps were installed on sd card but i changed roms because i found out it was dragging the internal memory as well. So i would still gt the "I have no space" message. What can I be doing wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Definitely not true.

I use Apps2SD on my 16gb Sandisk Class 2 card and never have any lag whatsoever.

[Droid Incredible General] tylerwagler:
Yesterday I had my phone on airplane mode all day while at work. I don't have any verizon reception there leading to a dead battery by noon. Around 4PM i got a text message. Wondering if this may have somehow taken 8 hours to trickle from the radio through my phone I confirmed the time she sent the message. Around 4PM. Anyone have any explanations for this other than Google turning the radio on to spy on me at random times of the day?
[Droid Incredible General] timehunter:
I placed my Incredible in Airplane mode and sent text messages from both inside and outside the VZW network. None got through until I placed it back in regular mode. I also travel quite a bit and it has never gotten an email or SMS while I had it in airplane mode.

Perhaps, at the time you got the message, you had somehow activated the radio.

Going to 2.2 roms how to keep titanium/astro backups?

As 2.2 roms apparantly dont support ext partitions, and think we need to format SD card to get apps2sd to work, what titanium/astro files would we need to be copied to PC?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] shokkapic:
Can you please, please, please post this kind of threads in Q&A ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Steven_belfast:
Yes they would need to be moved to the pc,

Best to do a nandroid back up then just copy the files from sd card to pc,

But as shokkapic said please keep questions to the Q&A section of the forums,

This section is only for rom issues and your question is more of a generic question.

Regards

Steven
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sebxd:
For Titanium Backup there is folder on your SD Card called Titanium Backup... You just have to copy this folder on your computer and you have a back up ok Titanium Backup
[Hero, G2 Touch General] blueflash:
thanks

sorry only posted it here as none of the intros to any of 2.2 roms mention SD ext/apps2sd or backups.

be nice if they did as lack of sd ext is bit of a change from past..

Hi all,

I have installed Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.1 and synchronized my WM device (currently Energy ROM, 21905.5.0.92 built on 12.6.2010).

Everything seems to be working correctly, but... When I receive an appointment into my calendar from any of my colleagues, I cannot see details of that appointment in WM calendar. But when I create appointment by myself, I can see all details.

Could anybody tell me what is wrong?

Thanks,

Vladino
[General Topics] vladino.83:
Well, it seems that this problem is connected only to Sense calendar. When I open MS Office Calendar I can see all details of meetings and appointments.

Weird, huh?

Basically it get to the windows logo screen and stays. i dunno what to do

i tried to turn it off and on so many times and its not working.

my contacts are backed up but i dont want to install everything again. is there a way to fix it ??

i removed the sim and the sd card and for some reason its working. i put the sim card back without sd and the phone doesnt start up. iam clocking the phone at 998hz all the time using leocpuspeed

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bates_1974:
Try holding both volume buttons when turning the phone on and following the instructions to do a hard reset, only thing I can think of, if you've got your contacts backed up through MyPhone or on your pc can easily be replaced back onto the phone

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polo735:
I believe holding the volume down just after the power on will put you in the tri-color bootloader screen. From there you could task29 start fresh and flash a new rom.

i got the same problem n also the phone from spain... the only rom upgrade available is the spanish rom....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] themadhatter8888:
Ok i find the solution that worked like charm!

First of all you need to know if your HTC is elf or elfin.

1 You do that with an app called device info which you can find in this forum.

2 You need to USPL for elfin (in my case was elfin, there are 2 apps for that one is for elf and the second one is based on the first but is for elfin. DO NOT USE USPL for elf on elfin).

3 When you finish that you can flash any cooked rom on your HTC, DO NOT FLASH SHIPED ROMS! (Now I am testing onyx 5 and it is awesume one).

IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND SOMETHING DO NOT FLASH, go back and read everything you can. The poblem with me was not that is hard but too many people post dum posts. The procedure is simple as it can be. Huge Thank You to all the guys that worked on this problem and developed those perfect solutions.
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
Wow ... I'm my dreams my X10 running the 023 firmware would do this.

One site did a review specifically on the battery life of the Droid. For the study, the Droid screen brightness was maxed out, the screen was set to 'Never Sleep', MP3's were loaded and the media player was turned on to 'Repeat All Songs'. They even threw in an hour of Google Navigation usage while all of that was going on and still managed over 7 hours of battery life.
[XPERIA X10 General] hiraj_panosian:
Try it with your X10 maybe you manage to do the same;) and maybe if you put your phone on 600mhz with setcpu you ll manage the same ;):D
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Exactly what I was thinking, though with the difference in OS version, the Droid would likely still win... for now.
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
I ran Setcpu for about 4 days at around 580, can't remember exactly, and didn't get any better battery life. I did however get really really slugish screen performance.

I'd like to ask those wishing help with troubleshooting to please help us to help you.

When reporting a problem it is useful to get as much information as possible, the more information we have, the easier it is to help.

Is it running from SD or Nand.

What radio version.

What build are you having the problem with.

What kernel/nbh are you using.

If you can, try to post any error messages.

Please try to post your questions in the thread for the build you are having issues with, it's more likely to get noticed there, and other users of that build may have the solution you need.

All this information saves a lot of time, and helps cut down on confusion, especially the SD/Nand part.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] phamhoangphuc:
I have trouble with signal, it's weak than WM, when I used WM my radio is 1.65, I'm up to 1.71.09.01 and flash Android (NAND menthod) and the signal so weak

So Android support radio 1.65??? I want to back 1.65

I'm using TYTN 2 Kaiser _ WarmDonut version

Another Qs:

Q.How can I use my fone like a modem? I see in Menu have Modem but I don't know how to connect with my PC as a modem

Q.How can I connect to my PC via Wifi ad-hoc? (if available, please guide step by step- because I'm... chicken :D)

Q.GPS so slow and weak (in Vietnam)

Q.It so hard to power off (It's hang)

Best regard
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
I had issues with 1.71.xx radios too, and went back to 1.65.21.14 and my signal was good once more.

To change radio, download the radio you wish to use from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=393182, post 3 has the download links you need.

Once you have it downloaded, rename the ruu_signed.nbh to kaisimg.nbh and copy to SD card, flash using the power+camera method you used to flash the nand nbh, you will not have to reinstall Android when you do this.

The modem in question refers to the gprs modem used for data, it should be possible to use the phone as a modem, but as far as I know this is not working properly yet.

Not sure if you can do this either, I know wifi works for data transmission, but accessing the computer this way with android may not be possible, yet.

Gps problems may depend on which nbh you have installed, some of the more recent nbh's perform better than older ones. I'd recommend Kallt_Kaffes NBH's as I know these are quite good for gps, for me at least. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=660158, you will need to load the nbh into the editor and set the correct panel type, keyboard, and 3d type, ( donut in your case), then save as kaisimg.nbh and copy to SD and flash using power+camera, again this will not affect your android install.

Power off issues may be nbh related also, however this can still happen anyway, usually pulling out the battery will sort out the reboot issues.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Everything looks fine, although I haven't used that particular build, however bootloops are commonly build or kernel related.

Have you tried other builds? Or is it just this build that does this?

Generally panel type only affects the display on the screen itself, or sometimes problems with sleep mode.

Since you have a froyo kernel installed, maybe you could install this build to see if it helps? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=724821
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] The B-Man:
Yeah I have tried other Froyo builds and they worked, but I just like the way Super Froyo build is put together. But if it is the build then its is the build. Oh well maybe next release. Ok thank you for your time, guess I will give the GZO build or the one you suggested a try.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] The B-Man:
Installed the kernel you suggested, it works. It boot looped once, then I cleared the dalvik cache and it booted again after install. I don't know if that is what it is used for, but it worked after that.

It is a awesome build, battery life works correctly, signal is good with radio, and wi-fi works good. But I had one more questions.

1. What is up with live wallpapers, on some builds I have used some work on one build but not the other, I have looked through the forums, but can find no solution for this. Is it because of the amount of RAM in the TILT as I saw somewhere or is there a fix. Even in this build when I try to load a live wallpaper on a couple of them is just stays on wallpaper loading and stay black screen.

I would like to take a minute to thank the people that make this awesome stuff, now my TILT has more current software than my BACKFLIP, so my older phone is now newer than my new phone, and I would also like to thank the people who help others out on this forum, I don't think a lot of people like myself would get anywhere without your help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Forgot to mention dalvik cache. oops, ah well, you found it anyway :D

It's another of those occasionally useful things, like fix permissions, I have used it before to fix unusual behaviour, but not tried it on a bootloop.

Live wallpapers are usually pretty buggy at best, it's complicated, memory is one problem, cpu speed another, and 3d handling yet another, some wallpapers work ok, but slow, others just won't, ever. I just delete them before install, along with a few other minor customisations such as deleting a few ringtones and notification sounds, changing boot animations, nothing that affects the core of the build, just personalising a bit ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] matcha20:
I'm using:

1)incubus's Super Eclair 6.1, with the downgraded settings.apk which enables wifi (another member offered the settings.apk from a previous version (3, I think) as an androidupdate.tar)

2) Currently radio 1.71.09.01 (thinking of switching to 1.65.21.18 to improve reception)

3.) Currently using the latest Dzo kernel for eclair (07-02-2010, I think)

My problem is that my data connection doesn't work (and this has been an issue on just about every release, save for one Froyo install where the data autostarted once, and then I never saw a 2g/3g notification and mobile internet didn't work).

I'm currently in India, and I've used the correct APN settings (they have worked on other phones including Nokias, iPhone, and a USB modem). I've tried asking the question in the SuperEclair vogue thread, but alas, no love. I'd really appreciate if you could help me on this, or at least guide me in the right direction, because android (especially eclair) is too awesome to abandon for this single issue.

By the way, everything else works, Wifi (with the mentioned update), GPS, Voice, and SuperEclair is the fastest that I've found so far.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
I have seen a number of issues with data such as this, and i'm afraid none have had a truly satisfying resolution.

However I would try:

Downgrade the radio as planned, this may help, and certainly won't hurt.

Boot to installer, and run fix permissions and clear dalvik cache, this has been known to fix various issues, not certain why yet.

Double check the apn settings, especially the MCC and MCN settings, a lot of online guides seem to miss these two, but they are important.

Not sure where to point you after this, apart from a long trawl through the thread here, however if you do get it resolved please post back, and if not, try another post on it in the build thread, along with the steps you have taken to resolve it, it may convince someone to have a closer look at this issue.

data connection

I too have had this problem after installing a recent froyo build to nand....I had checked no.start data when flashing dzo's latest kernel using nbh editor and had to reset my apn settings. Remember to open your modem utility and press connect twice....this actually starts the connection......Radio type could also be an issue..Ive had good luck with the 165's with 2 different froyo builds....Hope this helps.....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] matcha20:
Thanks for the replies! I'm going to try this out (need to recharge the data service on my prepaid) but one thing I did notice was that the MNC/MMC were different that those listed on my providers website. Hopefully this will help.

I have tried to switch on the data using the modem utility, and the utility itself says that data is connected, but it never really worked. In settings, there is an on/off switch for mobile internet, and a mobile internet settings. When I click the on/off switch, then mobile internet just goes gray and does nothing. I'll try to post back to the Super Eclair vogue board, but I think that Incubus might have moved on...

I'll update once I get my gprs service paid up. Again, thanks for the help!

The process com.android.phone has stopped

Those are my first Android experiences, so I`ve got problems :-).

Phone : Kaiser (TyTN II)

OS : Win Mo 6 Profess (original-not flashed)

Radio : 1.27.15.32

I`m trying to install Android on the SD card, without additional partitioning. I`m currently trying this Android version : Eclair 2.1 for Kaiser/Vogue/Polaris -- polymod 2.1 gamma [Based on OpenEclair 1.2.2 (XDA thread)]

and using this too : How to run Polymod’s AWESOME 2.1 Eclare Build and Updates (the forum didn`t allow me to post links for the Android versions). I`ve tryed this too : VaniljEclair RLS7c - A fast and stable CM 5.0.8 for Vogue/Kaiser/Polaris [2010-07-02] - the same result

I`ve done everything according the instructions... Starting Haret.. Hit D-Pad, Install, clear data... etc. etc... It actually starts to install... and everything seems fine... At some point it brings me again the install menu, I`m hitting exit, and then come some errors ?!? I forgot to type them down... Something like that some files cannot be found... And after rolling errors for a while the Android actually boots ! But then come errors too... At the first time it brings me the dial pad to enter my pin-code... I entered it , but it says it is wrong...I wasn`t wrong ofc :-). For the next time I simply disabled my pin in Win Mobile and try again... After the Android booted it says : The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. , and some button like "cancel" or something like that. I'm hitting it , the Android guy appears and a message " Hit the android to begin" with a hand pointing it. I`m hitting the android - nothing happened !

I`ll be greatfull if someone can help me , or at least give me some clues !

Thank you :-).

p.s. sorry for my english... not my native language ;-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Your problems are mainly in the OS version, 6.0 is not recent enough to run Android, and the radio version will also give problems, my advice would be to update to the most recent stock version, which would enable you to run Android.

This would of course wipe your present installed OS and a more recent version may or may not exist for your language, ( with the wiki down I can't be more specific with which files would suit you best).

Thank you for your fast response :-).

And I want an original ROM... I`m not sure that I can manage to flash a cooked one on my HTC :-). So I guess I`ll stay with the original WinMo 6.0 withut Android :-).
