Ok, after some research I found that the 'Nand+ext' backup can do what I want but unfortunately it didn't work. I've do the partition for the new sd card and I've do a complete wipe via the how to but when I finally restore the nand backup the phone hangs during the boot process (the animated android screen repeats endless). When I do exactly the same with the old sd card everything works fine... any idea?

Thanks!

I do not think any of cyagenmod's backup tools is designed to handle sdcards of different sizes (but I may be wrong).

You might want to clone your sdcard on a pc with tools like clonezilla. It should be able to restore on different sized media.

sound recorder

i m using "al sound recorder" and it works well i just test it and record and listen back..

what sound recorder are you using?

that with Handcent sms with message an screen appears with a old style vu meter and i record and listen too

i think a logcat of this problem is the best to pinpoit the problem

more info

you forgot to tell us what is your windows version

and some more advice (just my opinion of course)

move over to gmail and google apps after all this phone will work better with gmail then it ever will with outlook its a Android after all and webmail is the way to go period.

said that you must provide more info about outlook (service packs etc) and windows (also service packs) and firewalls

backup all info

this depends on whatever you are using windows or Linux

you can backup all the (well i have 3) partitions and get a new card

my advice on this is

get a Linux live cd like ubuntu live cd and use the program called gparted that is on system-> administration there are posts on how to do this on the forum

you can use the live cd to backup the ext3 partition also

with this you can get a new (here i think 8GB is enough for a card) and create the partitions

as i said i have 3 partitions one Linux swap 32MB one ext3 1GB and the rest fat32

rictec
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] namshub:
It really seems that the restore function can't handle bigger sd cards.

So I'll try it with a linux live cd... thanks for all your answers!

Hi,

It´s windows xp Home all service Packs and updates Outlook 2000 all service Packs and updates. Firewall integrated in Fritzbox 7170.

I know i am not up to date, but all is running fast and stable and I realy don´t want to change the runing system because of a mobile phone!

Every cheap phone can sync with outlook why isn´t this possible with android....

Hi,

@freddyemmer

Does the backup function in recovery mode work?

I've done a backup after a reboot loop, but the folder "nandroid" contains only an empty folder called "mem=211M".

So long,

MrFX
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freddyemmer:
backup functions is working properly here... i have a mem=211 folder with img files and a ext.tar.

Please try again ;-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MisterEffiks:
Hi,

sorry, too late... after backup (message: backup comleted) i've not checked; i've done a wipe and flashed the 1.6...

I've a sms backup, thats OK.

Best wishes,

Hey, Freddy :-) I haven't tried 1.6.1 yet, but you're really good. Custom ROM and very fast bugfixes ;-) Good job.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wwenigma:
First, thanks for this roms.

Second: i have some questions. Some translation is missing if hungarian language selected, may this a correctable error? And how to install the HTC_ime kb? (not custom, origi rooted rom) I installed, enabled but i not see changes.... only original kb. Ah, and may you integrate hungarian language to HTC_ime or im able to do this at home?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MisterEffiks:
Hi again,

i've also noticed, that HTC IME at 1.6 no more has a german keyboard layout?

With the 1.3.2 there was a german layout, i'm sure...

Edit: after reboot it's there!

Thanks,

MrFX
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freddyemmer:
You could install the keyboard the same way as instructed with the HTC_IME files.. Some applications i use in my rom are English only. sorry for that! I don't know how to add languages to HTC_IME, I don't think it's possible.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wwenigma:
No problem with custom applications, some system translations missing, which was in hungarian within previous roms.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MisterEffiks:
Damn, the second boot loop today... after ADW.Launcher install... what the hell is this...

Is there a simply way to upgrade from v. 1.4 to v. 1.6.1 without wiping everything?

EDIT:

I got it. Just flashed the new rom without wiping anything. Works like charm!

How can I do a task switch on this ROM? In advance I would like to appreciate the work that you've done. Once again THANKSSSS....

This ROM

Hi. I have just installed a current version of your ROM and it's best. Really a great work...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sn0opy:
Is it intended, to change a few colors? Contacts app changed from red to green and unlock slider icon is white now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Necroman_AI:
Like Sn0opy i really like the option to have different mods (green and red) and thank you to make green mod the default! But what happened to green mod2 from 1.4? I really liked the icons on the notification bar :)

Also it was included the file manager and the Gallery 3D from Nexus One, but i think you should include the basic apps on the ROM (or at least the ones to make the custom rom functional) and also include other apps (like gallery 3d) or make the files available here so that we can install them if we want!

The more the options the better! Its the same about you posting an upgrade.zip file with different messaging/calendar/contacts app. I tottaly agree that you should do it! Include the basic on the ROM, but if possible include some files so that we can customize it, change some system apps or install new apps (like Gallery 3d that i've mentioned).

Thanks again and i really like your great job!

EDIT: There is definatly something wrong whith the color mods. When installing 1.6.1 the default color was green and i much prefer this default than the red one. But then i went installing the green mod3 and it stayed the same (the notification bar didn't changed like previous green mods) and some things still have red color on the like changing volume or the browser loading pages.

Maybe you could make the regular green mod default on the custom rom and add the green mod (with the other notification bar) and also a red mod to those who would prefer it redish... And what about a blue mod? Or two? :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rictec:
i did not say that it is not possible but it is more difficult android is in competition with windows mobile and cant use active sync like windows mobile do (for better or for worst lol)

it is not in the interest of google that you use outlook but their aplications everybody do the some with their products.

if you want 95% compatibility with outlook a windows mobile phone is your friend or move over to gmail and Android will be the some.

this is my humble opinion people can and will disagree with me its human nature lol

Rictec
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rictec:
you are doing it keep doing it

no complaints here

just one

can you please let me test one version and then put a newer fixed one?

1.6.1 green great

thank you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freddyemmer:
Hi,

Please feel free to make a bluemod.. I'm not a theme maker ;-) i will check if i can use the greenmod from the first versions.. About creating al kinds of update's with extra applications are not difficult but take a lot of time. I will make a 3d gallery update to change the gallery app..

About the filemanger that's neccesary for a good working soundrecorder ;-)

If you are going to make a bluemod please use the redmod as basic ;-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Necroman_AI:
Hi again! I wouldn't mind making a blue mod but i have no idea where to start! Can you share some kind of good startup info?

About the green mod i just asked if on future rom's, wouldn't be possible to make v1.6 green mod default, but having the red mod and the v1.4 green mod ;)

I like the gallery 3d very much and its funnier than regular gallery, but couldn't we install the .app ourselves or flashing it like the touchpal? It's just because i like to have various options :D

Thanks again for the sound recorder issue and for your great work making and sharing this ROM!

1.6.2. online

3d gallery mod online
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freddyemmer:
Welcome to my world ;-) I have no knowledge of making a theme or edditing one.. I just used some themes from the pulse and pulse mini :D . Second problem is the rom is not deodexed so theming it will be more difficult. check my latest post ;-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Necroman_AI:
Man you rock! I really have to pay you more than just one beer! 1.6.2 is the best so far and with more options :)

I have installed 1.6.2 and you made it! The best green mod by default and other mod available for download!

Just two notes:

- on the Green-modv3.zip there are some red stuff. Ex. volume bar is red, loading bar on browser is red, etc...

- i noticed that you included the regular gallery version but i also noticed the icon is the same of gallery 3d. since flashing the gallery zip file you provided replaced the regular galley (and i wanted to have both) i tried to install the .apk from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=752007 but then tries to replace the gallery. On previous ROM versions (i think 1.4 and 1.3.2) i was able to install the gallery 3d and keep the regular one (it didn't work but let me install it).

If this helps, going to definitions, applications i can see that com.cooliris.media is installed just after flashing 1.6.2 without flashing 3dgallery.zip.

Thanks again! ;)

GPS fix slow?

Hello,

I currently use the 1.5 Version of this ROM. Really nice work. Thanks very much.

I have noticed one thing. With the original ROM the GPS fix was extremely fast (always under 5 seconds). With the custom rom it took sometimes several minutes until I get a fix.

If I use GPS Status it shows many green satellites and shows something of 8/8 in the field of the number of satellites. Green satellites mean that they are used for fix but I still don't have a fix and no koordinates are displayed. This can be up to one or two minutes and then I get a fix.

Somebody else noticed this issue? Is this a problem with the ROM?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wwenigma:
With original rom, sometimes needed 1-2min to get coordinates, but sometimes i got it under 10sec. :)

But i have questions. Again. :D

- App2sd is automatic? (the system is on SD ext3 partition? more than 512MB is configurable?)

- How to install new rom, if i want too keep my settings and installed programs?

- on huawei downloads i see UK soft with 2.1 update2, whats this? :)

- how to fully reinstall origi local ROM? (downloaded with huawei site) need reflash boot and recovery?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freddyemmer:
i have downloaded that file but in the build.prop shows 2.1 update1 what file do you mean??

1.6.1 without Messaging app? I want to write a SMS using the Messaging app, and.. NOT FOUND :?

Somebody can recheck it?

BTW i'm downloading 1.6.2 , if it's a mini-fix, will be avaiable again the messaging app? ouch!

Waiting 1.6.2 fixes or Nandroid 1.4 backup T_T

Greetings :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freddyemmer:
The message app is available in all my roms? please check the app launcher..

Or did you flash a old red or green mod?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
no wipe from 1.4 to 1.6.1

then green-modv3

now i'm trying to re-flash from 1.6.1 to 1.6.2 without mods

let me see :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
Well, time to make impressions.

I'm using the version since 1.2 (really I bought this phone since I saw this post).

Known bug in all versions: FANCY WIDGET

Dunno why sometimes fancy widget freezes and not updates the time, can freeze in a hour and if you don't execute manual update, always freezing.

Versions 1.4 > Battery ****er, now when I go to sleep at 99% battery I wake up with 30% battery or less (without using wifi/gps and all the stuff), when in 1.2 <= the battery duration was longer

Anyway, all OK, with Advanced Task Killer, all the system is working ok

Reflashed to 1.6.2 , Messaging app working, perhaps a little bug with the red-modv3 I think.

Other interesting bug is in the TouchPal rom for flashing, I can use touch pal changing the text input method, but when I press a key in TouchPal keyboard, it reverts and can't type anything except if I change the keyboard with the original.

I hope that will be usefull the information, greetings.

(sorry for the english, I'm Spanish)

hello, i've just bought my 845 and flashed it with 1.6.1. my compliments for that rom ;)

anyway, i've noticed that wifi doesn't recognize ad hoc networks?! i'm using connectify for turning my win7 laptop into a hotspot (ad hoc network) and the 845 doesn't recognize it but all other device do. any solution?! thx in advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkzito:
I can also confirmed the Fancy Widget problem, I am using the 1.4, but since the 1.3.2 it never worked for me. Only the clock appears, weather never worked. It says No forecast found or something.

About battery, not issues at all. To be honest it is lasting more than i expected. I am using Taskiller and always making sure to KILL all the app in background with the Widget when putting to sleep. I charged my phone 2 days ago and I have now 55%. Didnt use a lot these days, more like a phone. Browsered a little Yesterday.

Can anybody tell me a good app to swap between applications?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
Perhaps using tethering? tethering is avaiable officially in Froyo, but in Eclair (2.1) you can use third-party apps to use your Android as a Router, then your laptop could be a hotspot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
Equal for me, but a difference, touching the configuration of the fancy widget, I got without know how, the forecast and weather information and now is working OK, but the time update really is not working, works 2 o 3 hours and then HANG! :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freddyemmer:
New red mod online.. bug found and fixed
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
Time to reflection.

Some days ago, I installed Flash 10.1 fixed for Android 2.1 and Adobe AIR, also for 2.1

Then really almost all the flash content now is working, except the broadcasting video (A.K.A. megavideo)

With Opera is working almost perfect, becouse doesn't redirect to a java games page like Chrome, but all that I can get is a Blank Screen (perhaps freezes loading, but loads ok).

So, somebody with 2.1 could see megavideo yet?

Other proposition is to make a rom with preinstalled apps, ATK is obligatory, Flash 10.1 also (even megavideo isn't working), perhaps HTC_IME by default, and another kind of usefull and MUST-ANDROID apps.

Anyway, Mr Edition rocks :)))

Greetings
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gulyfmg:
Todos darkzito and darkplace.

Be sure to put fancywidget in the ignore list of task kill. I had the same problem and after that the widget has worked flawlessly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
I really pledge for a vanilla ROM. Shipping only vanilla 2.1 apps/etc. My proposition is to allow installing "preinstalled" apps with modification bundles. That would also make clear which apps are original and what was changed.

Now, it's not clearly visible what was changed in the ROM. Sure, there is the changelog, but at least I don't understand what means "Replaced Contacts". Replaced with what? Why?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
freddy, some news with U8150 ? is almost the same hardware, seems that only some fixes needing to port to 845, right?

We wants Froyo :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kunalija:
i'm not using tethering. i've successfully set up my laptop to work as a wifi hotspot sharing his internet connection. the only problem is that my 845 doesn't see that ad hoc wireless network (hotspot) while scanning.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sn0opy:
@freddyemmer: Some ideas

What about hosting the whole files unzipped on github.com. Github will automatically create a .zip of it. So everyone will see updates and it's much easyer to fork it (for green / red / #xxxxxx mod)

btw for ppl who want more colors. You can extract .apk files with e.g. WinRar. So you can modify the pictures in /res. Best way is doing it with Photoshop's function when pressing CTRL + U.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
I just flashed 1.6.2 and now my lock screen is broken: http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/2872/deviceas.png

Also the calendar app does not work any more for me. If have no Google account but the calendar app used to work. Now I'm prompted to setup a Google account. Whats happening here?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Is it just unzipping the rom and afterwars repacking it? Does it need to be signed somehow?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sn0opy:
I don't think so. You could give it a try by modifying an app, deleting it from your devices and installing it via adb.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
I wasn't talking about modifying applications but the whole rom
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sn0opy:
It's the same.

@freddyemmer: k, I've created a new project @ github.com hosting your custom rom. If you want to be a collaborator, tell me your nickname and you will become master or I'll give you the rights to push updates to the repo.

Realy nice :)

but as posted before I can´t sync with outlook and I don´t want to have all my Data on the web with google.

How can I go complete to original Vodafone **** so that the Phone is as I buyed it?

Working without sd Card etc.

Or is there a possibilty to leave the phone as it is and only to delete my Google acount?

Snoopy i have never worked with github.. what is the benefit from it? People dont forget i have to do everything myself.. if got no help or can i use tools because there is nothing for this phone.. ill do the best i can but i'm still a noob in ROMmaking..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
Yeah, github, time for nightly builds? We really needs here people with knowing about cooking roms.

Out of topic: Also sure adding Huawei U8150 froyo rom for vodafone 845 porting, so will be two branches, 2.1 and 2.2 , all organizated, better for you, better for community ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sn0opy:
Download the original Vodafone Rom from the first post and flash it onto your phone. You could wipe it before to verify everything is deleted.

Here's the help page of github.com: http://help.github.com/

The benefit is, to save time. You don't have to upload the whole rom anymore, only the changed files. Github has a function to generate a zip from all uploaded files. Revision stuff - ppl can downgrade single files / apps if they want etc...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
http://www.android-sync.com/

Hope that helps you, sync with outlook :)

Anyway, if you want the original ROM, just flash with the original ROM ( http://www.mediafire.com/file/cksinfeibiw8yuz/update_signed.zip (posted from first topic)), but I preffer the Mr Edition...see the difference ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Add a branch with the original vodafone rom, so it's easy to see what was changed. *cloning*

Hey Freddy,

First of all - huge thanks for the ROM! A custom ROM was the start for buying the 845 for me :)

After flashing from 1.4 to 1.6.2 yesterday i have the same issue als Peter912...

Took me frustrating 5 minutes to get my phone unlocked since the outer points of the lockscreen are so screwed up, they hardly response to any touch.

Is there a quick fix available for this issue (was standard OK til v1.4)?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freddyemmer:
flash redmod and your problem is gone ;-)
