How can I go about downloading a Rom and put it on the SD card so I can flash a new one without having to go on my pc?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novanosis85:
Bump.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trentlythp:
Just go the dev section in the web browser and click on the download link in the thread for the ROM you are looking for. It will download it to /sdcard/download/ copy that with a file explorer to the root of the sdcard reboot into recovery. Nandroid backup and flash away. That's what I do anyway

[General Questions and Answers] APista:
Hello everyone!

I will buy a new phone this week and i want to know your opinion to decide which model should i decide for.

In relation to Operative Systems, in terms of apps, games, development, contacts, and updates, it's better to chose Android or WM?

And what models do you reccomend in the OS that you indicate?

Thank's!
[General Questions and Answers] jayshah:
Unless there's a specific WM application you need (which appears to be the case so far, there is some specific scientific measurement application that does not exist on Android) then I would say go to Android. That is, if you've never used either before: Android all the way.

Model? HTC Desire :D
[General Questions and Answers] John Cipolletti:
Which Phone OS Should I Select?

I know that WM is on its last legs, but I still love it and the HTC phones that use the OS. But just looking at a phone is just the first step. Look at the cost, not only of the phone but of the 2 year service contract (especially with the data plan). For example, the phone may be $200 but the 2 year service may add over $2400 to that cost.

And what about service? AT&T is threatening to limit internet use. Sprint (which has the best Android phone, the Evo) may have poor coverage in your area.

Is there hidden fees? I hear that Verizon still has roaming fees within the US.

So don't just look at which OS is best, look at the whole picture. It can get very frustrating if those monthly bills keep growing or that dropped calls is an issue, or that the use of the internet is limited, especially if you are tied to a 2 year contract.
[General Questions and Answers] guitardoc64:
I recently switched to Android after using WM for over 4 years. I don't regret it a bit. Android is the future.
[General Questions and Answers] LordVarkson:
It really just depends on your interests. I have a thing for having my phone work exactly how I want it, I make lists of thing I don't like and find solutions for all of my problems. So if your a totally anal perfectionist, wm may just be your thing.

I don't have much experience with android, but my experiences were pretty positive. The only thing that bothers me is the reliance on hardware buttons to go back and home. It just seems like a bit annoying for me. But its definetly the future, there are thousands of apps and very good support across the forums.

For windows mobile, if you like touching and stuff, HD2 is definetly the way.

For android I'm not 100% sure but I hear the evo and desire are good. Personally pretty much all the android phones look pretty much the same to me.

Pretty much, if you want the smoothest, most pretty and reliable experience, go android.

If you want total customisation and be able to modify the device to suit your needs, go

WM.

On the subject of plans and whatnot, I always buy my phones outright and go prepaid since its the best option for me. But its up to you about your plans.
[General Questions and Answers] ohyeahar:
Android wins here. No contest.

I'm not even putting into consideration that WinMo 6.x is no longer being developed.

I'm going to assume that you've used WinMo before and have not used Android yet. If you have, you wouldn't be asking this.

You may have just flashed a new ROM on your WinMo device. You would think it's fast and snappy. But in fact, compared to even an average Android device, your tricked out WinMo device is actually still significantly slower.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AG_Uni:
I'm new to whole linux\android stuff. Didn't really used lunux, so my knowledge of shell scripting is around 0.

Anyway the stalling issue of galaxy is quit annoying. Fortunately Paul at Modaco has found a fix for that (beleve he had also had script for that to). http://android.modaco.com/content/s...298/got-the-stalling-problem-rooted-try-this/

The faster section\mount of the memory where the apps data should be copied is not so large, so you shouldn't place games or apps that use a lot of space. So you want only copy only a specific set of data.

I managed to create a shell script that will seek unlinked apps data directories in /data/data/ move them to faster storage partition /dbdata/data/ and link it back in /data/data. The apps directories that are exists in a ignore_list.txt will be skipped and not moved to /dbdata/.

!!! Be aware, use it at own risk !!!

Requirements:

Rooted SGS

ADB or terminal on SGS

SU

Busybox

how to:

1. download app_data_hack01.zip

2. copy context of app_data_hack01.zip to /sdcard/sd/Scripts

Remove or add directories that should remain in /data/data using in ignore_list.txt file

Execute using adb:

adb shell
su
sh /sdcard/sd/scripts/app_data_hack.sh

Using terminal on SGS

su
sh /sdcard/sd/scripts/app_data_hack.sh

in the terminal: "To proceed type [yes]:" type "yes" or "y" (without the quotes) to proceed..

To recover (move from /dbdata/data back to /data/data) use

su
sh /sdcard/sd/scripts/app_data_hack_recover.sh

Any feedback is welcome!!

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] DocRambone:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] psychedelic'd:
If I install new apps, they will be stored in the original /data/data right? And if I wanted to move them to /dbdata/data I just add them to the text file and run the script again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AG_Uni:
You can just run the sript again. You add to ignore text file directories that shouldn't be copied.

It would be great if everyone will post the directory names of apps that shouldn't be stored in /dbdata/ (apps that occupied a lot of space or somithing...)

Development

Often we have people post rubbish in the development section because the simply carnt be bothered to go to where their information belongs, e.g. Q&A... however in this case i think a very fine peice of developing has been done and would be seen my many more if used to the development section. Therefore i am asking if a mod could please move this thread, and also well done :)

Just a thought BTW, instead of everyone messing with this dbdata partition, why done we just increase the size of the partition so we done have to SQUEEZE our big apps in a very small space? Seems much more simple...?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AG_Uni:
Glad it helped and found easy to use!

I wasn't sure where to post as it's not really an development of something new but only a tweak of existing...

As for increasing the partition size, it would be indeed great, but how and if it's possible? Could it be done PIT file using Odin 3?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bratfink:
Yes

Yes from what i know the PIT file contains the partition structure so if this file can be adapted to create a larger /dbdata partition then this should in theory be possible.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AG_Uni:
That's interesting, but kind off-topic.. Odin seems to be able to interpret pit files, so on web should also be more info available...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xephrey:
So far I have been largely impressed by Android OS. I really, really like the level of customization - the importance of which cannot be overstated. I'm not out to start a flamer thread, but there are lots of things that Android, given the proper hardware, does better. However, there are still a couple things that I'm missing before I can declare my Desire fully ready for the stresses of the day.

I'm fairly addicted to podcasts - I listen to then pretty much every day, most of the day while at work. I know there are several apps where I can download podcasts right from the phone as well a few iTunes hop-on software packages. The goal is to get as much like what I can do in iTunes as possible. Say I have an audiobook that gets interrupted or that I want to supplement with some music. Is there a music program that can decipher between normal audio files and ones that are tagged as being audiobooks? Meaning that when you stop it in order to play another audio file, does it pick up where you left off? Also, I have 29 gigs of podcasts that I have not yet listened to. This is where the need for a simple, elegant media program on my desktop comes in. I'd like to be able to individually select which episodes of each podcast I'd like to sync with my Desire or have the option of just syncing everything in that specific podcast that has not yet been listened to. So basically, the same sorting capabilities of iTunes. That's the first thing that is missing.

I know there are hundreds of these task killer programs; some more thorough than others. This is where the iPhone exceeds (now) - but webOS even more so. I've found something that is a push in the right direction; QuickDesk Beta. But I need something like that that can also be brought up in the lock screen. More importantly though, there needs to be some kind of widget that can be placed within QuickDesk that displays all the programs currently open (even if they're in a static state), so you can easily 'x' whichever ones you'd like to close out of. I'm talking actual apps, not background services or mods of that type. WebOS is pretty much the benchmark for mobile task management, so I'd love to come as close to it as possible. This is the second thing that's missing, or maybe that I'm just not aware of yet. Any suggestions / ideas?

I'm running DeFroST 2.0b

One more quick question: I installed DeFroST 2.0b over 2.0a. After I had done this, I reinstalled the baseband version update, cause the echo came back. It's great now, but I'm wondering if there is anything about that procedure that is prone to cause problems. I know you should factory reset / clear cache before a ROM install, but I really didn't want to re-enter all my info / re download all my apps. I understand Google does a backup of your personal information on Froyo, I'm just not sure to what extent. Anyway... just curious.

Thanks to richardtrip and everyone involved in the making of the DeForST ROM - It's great! Definitely a cause worth donating to. :)

I'm also a bit of a podcast nut, I've tried most of the podcatching apps and found doggcatcher to be the best. Listen is pretty good for a free one.

By the way is that baseband update a fix for everyone that has the echo problem? That echo is the only reason I am still using Pays Eclair rom...

As for task managers, I think there is a place for them on older devices where ram is limited. You don't need one on the desire though.

You do if you want to kill tasks. Are you saying no apps are badly written? Google for a bit, or read comments for various apps on the market-place.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
They reason they don't understand it is that your link doesn't explain it. And the blog from google essentially says the OS just kills it when there is no memory left. If the OS can do it we can do it (and some of them do run in the background)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xephrey:
Thanks for all the suggestions and tips, guys. I guess it's not so much an app killer that i want, but rather, a nice looking way of seeing everything that's open. I dunno, I guess my thinking a little too conventional for the Android world. Google listen can't seem to find anything I'm looking for. And Doubletwist, while a great idea, is honestly the buggiest, slowest, something that should be labeled as being in alpha stages that I've ever seen. It is a step in the right direction though. I'll definitely check out doggcatcher. I'm loving the XDA app, btw!

I am total n00b to xda forums. I had been reading about this forum since long, but got the interest to join after purchasing a Windows mobile.

My problem:

I have an ASUS P320 (galaxy mini) on which I was trying to install a Windows mobile 6.5 ROM. The process didn't went well and the screen was stuck at "writing to ROM 35%"

Now I am not able to use my mobile in anyways. It just boots up and displays the blue screen, nothing else. Even I am not able to establish an Active Sync connection nor it is showing the storage card in Windows XP.

I cannot do hard reset as the phone is not opening. Also the right soft key+poke reset is showing "cold boot" and nothing else is happening.

How can I recover my phone back in working condition?

Although i don't know much about asus, but it sounds like a bad flash.

Had you hardspl'd your phone before upgraing your ROM ( unless it was a stock ROM ) i suggest stay on the blue screen ( or go to the bootloader, if you know how to ) download a stock ROM and then try to flash it.
