I partitionEd this way before I used rom manager. Just wanted to share a manual way to do it
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] archie53:
Thanks for this post, your method worked and was easy.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lstevens86:
I like doing it this way cause I can set my extra partition to whatever I want it
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] archie53:
Yeah good method, I set my ext to 1024, just so I know I should never have app memory issues.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lowcg3:
I keep getting a

# parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

parted: not found

I really don't know what I'm doing wrong, but if anyone is willing to help! thanks.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lapator:
After partitioning my card i noticed that my ps3 - tv - videoplayer cant recognize my HTC DESIRE as usb storage any more.

Is there any way to be recognized ? Because i want to be able to see for ex: pictures in my tv - saw some movies on videoplayer etc...

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lstevens86:
Sometimes after partitioning any memory devices some devices will not be able to read your partition. You are creating a ext partition on your card so your ps3 probably can't read it
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lapator:
Sure even if i have first partition on that card a valid fat32 filesystem ?

Also is there any way to export only this partition of my MicroSD card ? So for ex: my PS3 can be able to read it ..

Thanks.

What the hell is Clockwork recovery?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
If you don't know that then you don't have a rooted device and this doesn't apply to you.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vegamo:
Actually I do have my phone rooted (my touch slide) the only thing I don't understand here is he doesn't explain what to type in the command screen BEFORE you start with "ADB SHELL"

There's a big chunk of info missing here, and It really irritates me that people sometimes over look these little details thing people really remmber how to access it from the top of their heads.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Actually there doesn't seem to be any missing info. Your SDK should be setup so adb can be used in your command prompt no matter what the directory is. You should have added your SDK directory to your PATH variable to get this to work. If not you should at least be smart enough to know how to get adb to work. This (like many other tutorials) assumes you have some basic concepts down. If you are the one that rooted your phone then you should have no problems with this. You should also make friends with the search button, there are many tutorials on how to setup the SDK, boot into clockwork, etc.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vegamo:
Dude it's not like this for me, yes my phone is rooted I already ran a couple rooted aps (including wireless tethering and shootme).

He's asking here to plug in the phone to the computer DONE

Power off phone and start ClockRecovery mode DONE

Unmount SD card from partition menu DONE

Now here's where I don't understand, he's asking me to go to the command prompt, (which is from my knowledge is going to the run screen and typing CMD)

"Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6002]

Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Mutasem>adb shell

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

c:\users\mutasem>"

As you see above, it's not recognizing it, now im sure that what im doing is wrong because other wise IT WOULD WORK. As you see, there's proper NOOBIE information missed in this article, other wise I don't see why it's telling me it's not recognized.

I managed to root my phone due to a detailed explanation "Step by Step" from a very talented individual, and this is what we need here.

Please some one help.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Ok, you know the path to your android sdk? Easiest way to get it to work all the time is to add that to your PATH variable, hat way there is no need to cd to it each time. Copy the path to your android SDK tools folder (usually something like C:\android-sdk\tools) then right click My Computer, (vista and 7 users go into "advanced system settings", xp users click the "advanced" tab), click environment variables, find PATH, add your sdk tools path to the end preceded by a semicolon so it should be something like "%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools", click ok and ok, now it should work whenever you call adb from command prompt. You only need to do this once and it will make things much easier.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vegamo:
I appreciate it but that's not where im stuck now.

When my phone is on the android OS, and I type Cd c:\androidsdk\tools it prompts me with the #.

But when I shut the phone off and boot in clockwork recovery, and try to connect my phone, it says error: device is offline....!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
If it shows as offline you're in stock recovery, not clockwork. If you see a phone with an exclamation point that's stock. Press power+volume up to get the menu, the use the volume keys to navigate to "apply update.zip" and press power again. If you flashed the ENG build (you should've) then you won't get a signature verification error and you'll be in clockwork. Continue on from there.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vegamo:
Let me explain exactly what I do, after I turn the phone off.

1: hold volume down and power it

wait for the bar on the top right corner to fill up then go to recovery.

2: Phone with red trangle comes up so I hold up on volume and power button.

3: blue screen comes up, says on the very buttom "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command"

4: I select "apply sdcard:update.zip"

5:Now im in clockwork, V1.8.1.7.

6: I go to parition menu and unmount SD

7:Now back on my computer, im still on C:\androidSDK\tools, I type ADB shell

and it says "error: Device offline".
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Update your clockwork :/ the newest for the slide is 2.5.0.1, I'm not 100% sure but it may be because you're using an outdated clockwork version. There's always the option of using ROM Manager to partition your card as well if you're having this much trouble.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vegamo:
I don't know how :(, I need step by step, if you have time, help me, I really gave up trying to figure it out my self. If you don't have time then it's fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Vegamo:
NVm i figured it all out, the new clockwork recovery doesnt need all this to do it. Thanks to ROM MANAGER!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Milor123:
Parted not found

I've tried used parted in my phone from recovery(twrp 3.0) in a mtk6735M, but i dont have it...

Could copy to my sdcard with dd or cat? then resize in my pc with parted and overwrite the full disk?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] maxpower097:
I don't code for smartphones but had an idea for a pretty easy app I think would sell or download like hotcakes. Have a send my GPS cordinates by TXT message. So you could be talking to a friend and want to tell him where you are. Hit the button and your GPS would take a location reading and then txt it to your friend. Then if he had the app. He could click it and it would automatically launch google maps and get his GPS coridinates and route directions. Just seems like something that should be a common function with new phones that is not. Hope someone makes it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] COZMO23:
thing has GARMIN Mobiles!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] oldsap:
i have an application that send gps coordinates at intervals through sms to a specific contact. the good thing about it is it does not run in the background. it send your gps coordinates then exits. after the specified time interval, it restarts and do the thing all over again.

as for the recipient side, as long as the sms received is in a correct format, and google maps is installed in his/her phone, when he/she clicks ok the sms message link, it will automatically open google maps and go to the specified location.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Nexus 1:
my moto droid will crash and reboot if i insert my kernel module

is there a way to check the kernel oops information ?

before the rebooting or after

what i mean is, can I check the kernel log messages which is printed out by dmsg command from /proc/dmesg AFTER A KERNEL CRASH.

or I just lose everything?

on nexus one devices, the ram_console driver will print the crashed log to /proc/last_kmsg, and you can dump it out from next successful boot.

anything similar on Droid?

thanks
[Captivate General] decepticon:
First off, we have been having some storms down here so that may be a factor.

That said, I have dropped about 20 calls in 3 days. I am on the phone, call going through fine, then suddenly it's gone. I have used the headset and left the phone sitting on it's own, had it in my hand, pocket...same results.

When it drops, there is no 3G indicator but shows full signal. It takes about a minute for 3G to come back and then it works till it does it again.

Anyone else having similar issues?
[Captivate General] lost2030:
No dropped calls here, could be the region you're in. The voice quality doesn't seem good to me though, the voices sound muffled. How's the voice quality on your phone?
[Captivate General] decepticon:
Voice sounds great, I am pretty sure it's related to the remnants of tropical storm Bonnie. There was 12 hours where we had no signal at all yesterday.
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
For me:

Voice quality: 8/10

Dropped calls: none

I'm up in Northern California. Service up here is mediocre, but never dropped a call.
[Captivate General] wyvex:
Denver. No dropped calls here. Always had them on my 3GS. Voice is a little muffled, but nothing extreme.
[Captivate General] iLoki:
Voice and call quality IMO are outstanding (though I'm coming from an iPhone 3G)

I have very little trouble hearing whoever I'm talking to, and I have not dropped a single call, even through trouble areas where I would have dropped on my 3G.
[Captivate General] Shovelhead84:
Had my captivate since the July 18.

Voice Quality: clear and clean but volume is slightly lower than I would like.

Dropped Calls: None. All calls have gone through first dial with no calls dropped.

Signal: I have witnessed my phone drop to Edge on 2 occasions.

Notes: I have positive experiences with AT&T signal/service in our area.
[Captivate General] votum:
WA State here.

0 Dropped calls.

I have never had ATT service at home. It has always been 1 bar for 5 mins then 0 bars for 2 hours. I consistently get 2-3 bars with this phone. I do lose service all the time, so calling from home wont work, but texting is fine. Service is great everywhere else.

Quality: Call quality is immense, especially on the other persons end. I was driving my bronco with the top off and windows down, radio loud, on the highway and the other person said they could hear me just fine, and that there was no background noise. I can also hear fine, although I would like it a little louder.
[Captivate General] dstevens:
Dropped calls yes!! Was on a 1/2 hour phone call (the other person on a landline) and the call dropped about 5 times. Had this issue with my iPhone 3G but not my Blackberry 9700.
[Captivate General] Simba501:
Little Rock, Arkansas

Voice quality: 8/10

Calls dropped: 0

Though, I wish the volume could be a little louder...
[Captivate General] decepticon:
That sounds like my issue. This time it did it and I couldn't access the home screen until the 3G indicator came back.

Tomorrow I will be away from the area and going to test it again.
[Captivate General] lost2030:
I wish I could say the call quality is immense. I have a pretty loud exhaust on my car, so I raise the windows when I make a call. I used to hear the person perfectly fine with my Bold 9700 and iPhone 4 while driving, but with this phone...it's muffled at times like I said on my earlier post and it's definitely not as loud as the other two. Maybe my phone is defective :(

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickolasemp:
Good morning people!

So, I bought the desire and although I can deal with not rooting, I read a lot of stuff of how rooting makes it even better (e.g. power up from the main button and not only from the power button), froyo etc.

So, as I want to be safe, I would like to know where I could find the official Ruu for my htc desire. What I really want is greek support out of the box (greek keyboard, greek thesaurus and greek prediction and greek speed dial). Does the europe or the wwe one has greek support? When the roms say Greek support do they mean greek speed dialing or text prediction?

Is that rom everything I will need in order to unroot my phone in the future?

Last but not least, is there a free app that backups my files (mainly the messages as everything else is in the cloud).

Thank you in advance for your answers!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
Just root it with unrevoked. It'll keep the default rom and you can install some custom bits like unwake with menu etc.

As for backup - nothing beats Titanium Backup which has a free version.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m01y1i00:
I appreciate the work you guys are doing, it is needed with the junk that is put on our phones/PDA, thank you.

I was thinking about updating my Desire and looked at the process, there are quite a few things that need to be done as you know. In the past it has worked well for me with a windows phone. Now the process is just to complicated, the terminology is also difficult to understand, I am a simple man looking for a simple upgrade. I will have to wait for an official release because of the processes here are to much.

1.Gold card

2.Rooting tool

3.Flash ROM

within the process above there is just to much to do, understanding is even more difficult. Can it be made easier.

Once again thank you for your efforts I am sure some people will find it helps.

htc Desire on Tmobile.

Thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gearkyle11:
So in the U.S. there was a Father's Day special that boasted ANY phone for free as long as a two year contract was signed. Deal did and I walk away with two free HTC HD2...s. Pretty cool, right? This official OS kinda stinks and I am VERY interested in switching to the totally sweet ROMs from the xda site here. And by totally, I mean really totally. But I am a little hesitant after reading some of the threads on this site.

Here goes the software/hardware... forgive me if the syntax is a bit off. Rum is the culprit.. or maybe just my douchebag self. Oh well, here goes....

OS 5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89)

Manilla 2.5.20121462.2

ROM 2.13.531.1 (90963) 4-28-2010

Radio 2.10.50.26

Protocol 15.39.50.07... U or 4

RAM 576

SPL 2.10.0000 *G XE

??PB*1120

Anyway, my questions is...

Will I be able to switch SPL with this new version?... and switch back if something goes wrong?

I am just wondering because of the newer version of the software that is on the phone. It seems to be the latest and most of the threads only have STOCK ROMs that go back, well... way back. Where is the New Rom version that is on my phone?, on this site?

I have insurance, but I am sure that TMOBILE will check the phone out if sent back. Just trying to be sure.

TIA:rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M_T_M:
As of your radio...you can find it on this forum, just search. There is a thread dedicated to several radios.

About your ROM...TMobile has the new ROM available for download on thier website. Or even HTC.com might have it.

And about Tmo checking your phone...it'll depend on the technician that handles your phone. Sometime they just send them to get refurbished with out checking them but don't quote me on this.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wil Badger:
I seriously doubt T-Mob knows exactly what ROM version came on your phone. As long as you flash back to a T-Mob ROM and radio and relock the HSPL you should be good to go if you have to send it in for anything.

[EVO 4G General] mnguy:
Hi. Before this weekend, I had no idea that the Evo could take such nice pictures... From all the posts I've been reading about the iPhone 4 vs the Evo camera, I thought the Evo would just take mediocre photos; however, from messing with the camera settings, these two photos came out completely different! What do you guys think?
[EVO 4G General] gmelchert:
Nice, yeah I've played around with em too. Higher saturation/contrast will do that but I tend to like my pics more realistic rather than showy. So it depends ill usually keep my stuff around 0, maybe tweak it a little bit. And yes, the evo has a very nice camera
[EVO 4G General] masbirdies:
They still look fuzzy to me...

which is my only complaint with this camera
[EVO 4G General] VSack:
Nice shot!

What were you using for settings?
[EVO 4G General] mnguy:
Hi VSack. I think I was using contrast +1, saturation +2 and sharpness +1 for the right photo while the left photo was all set at zero except for sharpness which was +1.
[EVO 4G General] acme64:
Is there a way to take longer exposure shots with the evo?
[Captivate General] lost2030:
I don't know what it is. I installed some games and rebooted. When I play the games the sound is delayed, but the game runs perfectly fine. It also happens with games on gameboid and snesoid. Also, my biggest issue is that when I'm talking to someone on the phone their voice sounds kind of muffled and it's pretty hard to hear and understand what they're saying. I have the volume on max so it can't go any louder. Anyone else experiencing this?? Should I exchange my phone or do a factory reset?? Thanks in advance!

I have a black wallpaper, I'm using launcher pro, I don't have any running widgets so I don't think I'm using that much memory for it to affect the sound.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbsk8addict:
straight to the point... does king's latest kernal support mytouch LE like Cyanogen's does? (for the mytouch 1.2 w/ 3.5 mm headphone jack)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] chrisgto4:
You should probably find out who really made the kernel and ask them. King didnt make it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lbsk8addict:
oh i did not know he didn't make it. On the other hand, I did ask king if it worked and he told me to test it out and find out.

all of his roms with his new kernal 11 works perfectly with the mytouch LE.. and i mean perfectly as in touchscreen and 3.5mm jack support!

I can only assume that it uses the extra ram as well
