lol u guys. :D ...

ok ... don't make yourself tired with that codes. just search App2Card in Google (not in market). and try to install version 2.4 or above. (the latest I saw is 2.4.4).

I'm currently running version 2.4.1 on my Milestone XT720 and it's working smoothly without lagging and hanging.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] siaolah:
That's the very question i wanna ask u. I am using a starhub set. Was trying to use 2.4.4 too. But apparently, it doesn't work. I have ext2 and a swap file in too. After installation and transfer of apps to sd card in the ext2 partition and let it reboot, I see alot of errors and force close for several apps. And i also have error code 2. And also end up losing my acct, which U can see it in the 2.4.4 where it support multiple account. For that I am really confuse. Now i am out of the app2card using only universal androot and the overclock only and fresh restart of the xt720.

Can you send me the 2.4.1?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
Here you are. Hope it will be working for you.

P.S. I don't create SWAP partition.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] siaolah:
Hi bro,

I have downloaded the file, but i can't install the file directly from the sd card from the phone. It says error in parsing the file.

Please advise

Hi there ive tried this app on my XT720 with Russian firmware and JIT, but it will not boot anymore after applying.. Had to flash my device all over again. I thought that app2card was for Froyo only??
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
umm ... not really sure. The file is working at my phone. just try to download again and try again.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
No. It's definitely for 2.1. (2.2 already has built-in App2SD function).

I think it's the problem with JIT. I flashed my phone with Russian ROM yesterday and use App2Card 2.4.4 and it's perfectly working now.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] gommers1978:
You do not apply JIT then?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
ya, I don't want JIT as it would shortened my SD card's life.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] siaolah:
Hi bro spiderx,

I read that you were using the central rom all along. Did you tried using the starhub rom and installed the app2card, coz I am on starhub rom, and it doesn't work for me.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
I haven't tried App2Card with the Stock ROM. But I guess it would work. There's no big difference in each ROMs. let me know what kind of error you're having.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] gommers1978:
Why would it shorten your SDcards life?? It is only a software translator that makes you phone allot faster.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] c_urbanek:
There is a better guide on Droidlife.com... do a search... I'm runnig US CBW rom with Universal Androot, JIT & App2SD........ Freakin Incredible! The version on Droidlife also has the option to only install JIT or App2SD or his Theme (install in any combo you like). I did not use his theme.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] kahei036:
hi all,

i have try different ways to install the apps2sd and format the sd to 3 partition fat32, ext2, linux swap for million times with different software

but the same error message appears all the time....

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: Invalid argument
sorry,mount sd ext2 fail!!!!!

I really have no idea on it, I have flashed the se-asia rom in ttp://and-developers.com/sbf:xt720 this link, but I think this rom is not a pure rom, that I am able to finish all the script in the batch file when I first bought . But once I bricked my machine and I flashed the rom here, it never success...

As I need to read chinese and japanese, an asian rom for me is necessary...

Any help in any ways in is much appriciated!!

I really can't stand with the low system storage msg!!!
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] xoltrix2000:
None of the solutions worked for me. Not the guide nor Apps2Card 2.4, 2.4.1, 2.4.4, or 2.5. I believe I know why, and it's because I'm the only one with STR_2_05.1F.2 firmware (Wind Mobile).
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] c_urbanek:
flash the cincy bell firmware & dump wind.

steps to prepare micro sd before do app2sd.

# format ur micro sd on ur phone..

# then shrink the volume for 1g to ext3 partition and linux swap (128 m)...( im using gparte ubuntu).

# format the ext3 partion using ubuntu disk utilty .U need to ensure the check box with 'Take Ownership of the File System' is unchecked for the partition before you create it otherwise the partition is created and it has superuser permissions only.

#done
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
I flashed my phone back to Starhub rom and install App2Card 2.4.4

confirmed that it's working.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] khalpowers:
can u put the screen shots?..i want to see ur available memory after install app2card...
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
Ok. Here're some screenshots. Available memory decreases time by time because of dalvik-cache. I've got to clear it after every a few days.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] c_urbanek:
how do you get the 2nd screen of your screen shot, showing available memory?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] gommers1978:
Internal phone space is not so much with this app?

I have 173MB free with allot of apps installed with app2sd.......

Had allot of problems with app2card but if it frees up less RAM than app2sd i will stay with that.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] khalpowers:
yeaaa...with app2sd we can get more than app2card..i use ext3 ,Its journaling, which by default flushes the journal every 5 seconds (if I remember correctly).
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
the 2nd Screen is App2Card
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
Dalvik-Cache is running on both RAM and Ext2. I just need to clear Dalvik-Cache to reclaim most of the space in RAM. (and then clear application cache).

My main concern is to save the apps in SD card so that we can have extra space to install hundreds of apps.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] deejay6901:
how do we clear up the dalvik cache? will it affect our phone if we delete this?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
If you've already installed App2Card successfully, open it, press Menu>Wipe>Dalvik-Cache>Internal Memory

it won't effect your phone. but the system will re-create the cache files time by time and it will fill up the RAM again soon. So, you need to clear Dalvik cache regularly.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] deejay6901:
great! now my phone's internal memory has 130MB free.. hehehe.. Thanks! :)

HELP

CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLS!

I am really really frustrated. I tried thousands of times i still cant get my XT720 Apps2sd to work.

I have already partitioned my 16Gb sd card to Fat32 & ext2.

I have placed the only link to apps2sd.rar files in the root of my sd card.

However when it comes to the step to use ADB via command prompt it doesnt work. I have already setup the ADB access on my pc but whenever i type SU or whatever nth works! I am really lost in this part can anyone pls pls help me.

my email is buy.me.lunch @ live.com.sg

Pls help me, all the pros out there!

Marc
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
man man man!!! don't be crying. :D

if you cannot use ADB from PC, why don't u just install "Better Terminal" or "Android Terminal Simulator" from market and try typing the commands from there? :D (it's always my choice coz I don't want to take the trouble of setting up the PC)
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] marcwkm:
I do have such terminal in my xt720. but i kinda confused can you guide me step by step?

So since i already partitioned my sd card. Which are the files do i need to place again on the root of my sd card? I have tried many different versions of Apps2sd till i am confused which files are for which. Can you link me to the files?

So once the files are already on the root of my card, i open terminal, what commands should i type in?

Sorry to waste your time.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] marcwkm:
i always start off with typine "su"

then permission is granted.

next "cd /sdcard/apps2sd" this part always fail

it will say cannot cd /sdcard/app2sd
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] c_urbanek:
app2sd & app2card

I am currently running App2sd, can I run App2card concurrently... any benefit, will it really funk up the system? Which is better? :confused:
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] marcwkm:
pls help guys? i posted the problems i encountered above.. pls help me out thx.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] khalpowers:
hv u thick at usb debugging on development app setting?..

anyway just copy the app2sd folder to your sd..extract 1st app2sd.rar on your pc then copy the app2sd folder to your root sd..

after that u can run the su command..

why not u just create ext3 and little space for swap.,gud luck!
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
CD command should work without any flaw. You'll get the error if the file path is incorrect.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
I'm not sure if you can run concurrently or not. but it will make your system very unstable or can even drag you down to never-ending bootloops.

App2SD is just a script (correct me if i'm wrong) to link the /system/app link to a real folder in sd card. later, you will not be able to change anything.

App2Card has GUI and a lot of functions to backup, restore, format or partition your sd card, enable, disable the app2card and so on.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] marcwkm:
can anyone repost the files for me? apps2sd files
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
Not Apps2SD but App2Card.

I tried installing the App2card. Initially everything worked quite well throughout the installing, after installed, i selected install App2card/transfer app to sd.

Once done, it will ask for a reboot. My phone crashed during the start up. I took out my battery and restarted my phone, and i received all the error msges. Now i cant even uninstall the App2card or get it working. Any ideas??
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] marcwkm:
Ok, my phone totally became corrupted after the reboot crash. Everything just keep stoppin every app.

I did a reflash of my ROM. root my phone and installed app2card. So i tested by downloading angry birds, it is however still installed on my phone instead of my SD card. I did not reboot after installing of App2card neither did i choose the "install App2card / transfer files to sd card" option again fearing that upon reboot it will hang again.

Anything i m missing out here? i would want the app to be installed directly on my sd card.

Thanks Spider for helping me out.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] marcwkm:
Ok quick update. I successfully installed the App2card. The reboot was actually very long and it seemed like a hang. Now its working properly i been downloading alot of apps and they should be installed on my sd card.

However, something weird i noticed was when i kept on installing more apps, the phone internal memory will drop by 1 mb. Initially it has 113mb then after installing like 15 more apps it dropped to 110. Any ideas?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Beako:
That's just the cache doing it's work, IIRC.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] siaolah:
Any idea how long is the long reboot? roughly how long?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
depends on how many applications you've installed. :D

the best way is to re-flash your phone with clean ROM, root the phone and install Apps2Card instantly. later, install your apps.

The current App2Card support multiple profile. (one profile per SD card). so, It also regards your internal Memory as one profile. when you install App2Card and you're disappointed that your internal Memory is still very low, follow the steps below.

-Switch-off your phone, remove SD card.

-Switch-on again (without SD card). the phone will be booted with apps inside the internal ROM.

-Uninstall all the apps that you can, then switch-off your phone.

-Insert SD card and switch on your phone. (it will be booted to the profile with Apps on SD card)

-later, clear Dalvik Cache using App2Card.

that would do the trick.

what about motoroi (korean) roms?

can we flash them to XT720 without loosing GSM/3G frequencies?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] marcwkm:
Any way to save the cache data on the sd card?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
actually, the cache is both working on RAM and SD card.

you can occasionally wipe the cache to reclaim your RAM space.

in App2Card, goto Menu > Wipe > Dalvik-cache > Internal Memory (or) EXT2 to clear the cache.

also use some app like CacheMate to clear the application cache. That will help you reclaim a lot of spaces.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] spiderx_mm:
It is said in Motorola Official Forum that the Asia-Pacific version is not yet decided whether it is going to be updated or not.

[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] siaolah:
I went to Sitex and test out the Starhub staff. The person who is responsible for the motorola XT promotion over there said XT will be upgrade to 2.2 late jan 2011. So i asked him who did he heard from? He mentioned he was told by the training team from motorola 3 weeks ago. And I tried to tell him, that if he knows that just few days ago, motorola release the news on website saying canada and EMEA XT720 is staying on 2.1. He said he did not know that.

I guess like what spider_xmm said, we have to cross our fingers our hearts and whatever things we can cross.

Hi guys,

I have a little problem. Since i tried to install app2sd on my phone (which I failed by the way), the downloading didn't progress at all. Can someone help me to solve this problem ?

Thanks
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] xoltrix2000:
After following this thread for a long time I finally found the best solution: Chuck this piece of junk and buy a T-mobile Samsung Vibrant.

Obviously Motorola doesn't care much for this phone, and providers like Wind Mobile doesn't give a rats ass about their phones either. I have yet to see Winds latest firmware anywhere online even though they are shipped with their phones.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Beako:
Yeah, I am also regretting my purchase of the XT720. The amazing camera was really the only thing that made me want it. If Motorola definitely isn't supporting this phone, I am probably going to sell mine and try for a Desire HD or Galaxy S.

Hi spiderx and all,

I tried app2card 2.7.3 (3 Dec 2010) in my xt720. After numerous error and fix, I have to flash back to starhub stock rom. You using stock SD card (8GB class 4) or class 6?

I think it's because of SD card. Once it booted into ext2. But many apps force close and phone rebooted itself into internal storage.

Any advice?

Any suggestion would be appreciated. I'm total noob in this. Thanks
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] shungun:
Ok firstly google a bit first :P

You need to EXTRACT the apps2sd.rar and place the folder in the root of your SD card remember this is the FAT32 partition.

Did you try adb devices? does your phone's id show up?

if it doesn't is your USB debugging enabled in your phone?

if it does then you should enter:

adb shell ( a small $ sign will appear)

now ensure your phone's screen is turned on! and unlocked when you type su it will request root permission

type su and allow from your phone. (now the $ will change to # indicating su privileges)

cd to /sdcard/apps2sd

then run sh install.sh

[HD2 General] dsx2b:
Tytn 2 and Legend Cant find/connect my 'hd2 as wifi router'. But Laptops and other usb wireless adapter can find and connect to my 'hd2 as wifi router'.

Ive tried one device at a time, so i cant be reaching some connection limit.

Tried different roms (miri, dutty, stock) and different radios and i still get the same "other devices can connect but not phones" result. Ive tried both the built in wifi router and the 3rd party wmwifirouter. Same results.

Anyone else tried to connect other phones to the hd2 wifi router? I'd appreciate any input.
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
What I do to connect my TP2 to my HD2 is this:

1. Start the Wi-Fi router on the HD2

2. On my TP2: CommManager > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Add New... > [Enter Network name] > [Check] "This is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection" > Next > [enter Network Key] > Next > Finish.

3. Now I can connect my TP2 to my HD2.

It should be roughly similar to what you need to do on the Tytn 2, but I don't know about the Legend.
[Desire General] teddyonair:
dear all,

i've found a file that someone uploaded in nexus one forum. supposed to fix the network problem that exists in desire-port rom for nexus one.

i was wondering if this will fix the problem that many of us have on the desire.

can anybody take a look at this file and see what does it do?

i've been very frustrated about my desire died after 3 weeks of owning it. now i bought another nexus one. the desire (A8183) just sitting there collecting dust.

please see the attachment for the file. i tried flashing it on my desire but no luck, installation aborted.

any help will be greatly appreciated
[Desire General] Jagdish84:
Can you specify the problem with our desire?!

why not nand and flash it yourself?!
[Desire General] teddyonair:
like i mentioned in the original post, i did tried it but failed. since i found this from nexus one forum and supposed to fix the network problem they are having on the desire-port rom.

the problem i'm having is when HSDPA is active, it will get stuck with upload sign and stopped the mobile connection (e.g. middle of loading google.com from the browser). and often time the desire will show "limited service"

i've checked the APN settings and compared with my nexus one, same exact thing! and i've heard people from UK and australia got replacement from HTC but the problem will re-occur after couple days.

this is really frustrating!
[Desire General] lambrospower:
is this fix applicable in froyo with sense ???
[Nexus One Accessories] robotnoize:
I was just wondering if anyone knows where I can get one that's nice and thin. Got the one they had a T-Mobile and it adds so much thickness! !!! Leme know! Thanks
[Nexus One Accessories] the orange bandit:
I've got the Incipio case on my Nexus One - it's a *really* thin silicone gel + a harder plastic-ish snap-on. It's similar to the Otterbox Commuter case, but much thinner.
[Nexus One Accessories] robotnoize:
Thanks man. Exactly the kind I want.
[Nexus One Accessories] stumo5:
Yeah thanks for that, I've been wanting something exactly like this too.

I have the otterbox commuter, and it is too bulky, coupled with the smooth hard plastic shell it makes the phone hard to hold on to. Trouble is, I believe you need the extra hard plastic shell, so that the silicone protection at the edges of the screen don't easily pull away, like it does with just a bare silicon case.

Hopefully this one is better, will see when it arrives, I'm so sick of trying to find the perfect case for me.
[Nexus One Accessories] sl8125:
how about boxwave or casemate? anyone use there stuff? i like the boxwave silicone gel cover. fixing to order that one. I have the bse on it now but i like a little bit more protection, if you know what i mean. i like the ultra feather plastic case though. i don't know how much protection it will give but it looks simple and clean.
[Nexus One Accessories] kokkie:
I've got the Case-Mate Gelli Case Grey. I like the CM better then the Otterbox Commuter Case.

Pic 1

[Nexus One Accessories] stumo5:
Ok well I got this Incipio silicylic hybrid case today, and I'm not that impressed.

It looks nice, and does give the extra support for the silicone down each side of the screen I was looking for. But they've totally cocked up the bottom of the case...

There is no real protection between the trackball and the USB port. The hard plastic is totally cut away there to the back of the phone, leaving a flimsy flap of silicone horizontally between the ball and port. Also the plastic and silicon is cut away right out past the dock port pins, leaving the phone body exposed to a straight down drop on its arse end due to this gaping cutout.

The plastic shell also has very sharp edges at that massive gaping cutout at the bottom too, so it needs dremmeling right out of the box.

If only they'r run a strip of plastic along that edge between trackball and usb port and not just silicone, none of this would be an issue, and it would have been my perfect case. Grrrr.
[Nexus One Accessories] MaximReapage:
Do any of these cases allow the use of the desktop or car dock or do they block the pins/are too bulky?
[Nexus One Accessories] stumo5:
Too bulky, the nexus dock only just fits the bare phone. In saying that, its not that the cases are that bulky (except maybe the otterbox ones), just that that the dock is a bit fussy about who it takes for a ride.
[Nexus One Accessories] the orange bandit:
True, but I don't find it that bad, personally. I agree that plastic would have been nice, but since it snaps at the bottom, they would have had to entirely redesign the hard plastic shell.

I *did* have to dremel the headphone port just a bit to fit some of my speakers and headphones - the silicone flap still fits nicely, though, and if you have slender headphones, it probably won't be a problem.
