Use a live Linux CD like Ubuntu. Just Boot it up. Then Boot your Phone into custom recovery, mount your partitions and use Ubuntu to Backup your files. You can also use gparted (start it up by entering its name into the Linux console) for partitioning your new SD-Card (again, Phone booted into Custom Recovery). You may have to unmount from gparted first, in order to change existing partitions on the SD-card.

The command "dd" lets you easily backup and restore partition images. Google for specifics ;)

Hey guys,

I am planning on selling my Rogers X10a which has been unlocked and rooted and is currently running 026 firmware, and I'm going to buy the new American release as I am stuck with AT&T regardless (for other reasons). When i have the new phone and I root it, can I still use the same data from my memory card from titanium backup or do I have to start fresh because its a different device?

I don't know if this sounds like a bit of a noobish question, I'm just curious whether or not your device id somehow comes into play when using titanium backup. Thanks for any advice and I really appreciate everyone's thought and efforts in the forum. The info here is more helpful than anywhere else I have looked by far.
[XPERIA X10 General] damirbusic:
Nope, just backup the phone on the microSD and insert that microSD on that new phone and you will restore the phone like nothing happened. I have done it when I was swapping from black to white X10 :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Jikenda:
Great, thanks for the quick follow-up. I'm thinking about switching to white also... It really looks good. Anyway, I appreciate it as always. thanks for the input.

Hi All,

I have tried looking in the dev section (please dont flame me lol) but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone tell me if there is a standard GSM 2.1 that I can load onto my hero in update.zip format. I dont mind about having root, but I want to keep the recovery image so I can install custom roms again at a later stage.

Anyone care to point me in the right direction, or tell me im retarded and I cant do this???

Thanks

I did a one before which worked perfect then I took it down because I got people complaining so I redid it... which did not work so perfect so I left it to others.

That all seems to be working great! Pretty good linpack score too even with standard clock speed.

One other question, do you know what the latest radio version is and where I can get it?

I am running 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 that i downloaded from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559622 however that page hasn't been updated since March so I was wondering if there is a newer one that people are using?

Welcome to an experiment... members only AND FREE online kitchens for CyanogenMod 6.0.0 Release and Nightly builds.

Update: The auto-updating nightly kitchens are now online!

About the MoDaCo Online Kitchen infrastructure

Regular readers will know we've been running an online kitchen for a while, providing ROM building services to AdFree and Plus members. The reason the kitchens have only been available to members is simple - load. The infrastructure required to support kitchens for a large number of users and devices just isn't economically viable.

At the time of writing, the MoDaCo infrastructure consists of four dedicated servers (all running quad core processors with large disks and a large amount of memory). These servers run custom load balancing software designed to ensure that all of the servers are utilised as optimally as possible to provide the best possible build experience.

The experiment

I have set up two free kitchens below to use one of these servers, leaving the other 3 servers load balancing for Ad Free and Plus members. Now, there's a possibility that the free kitchen could become overloaded and collapse in a big heap, but to a certain extent that is the point of this exercise. To get a gauge on the impact of making an online kitchen more widely available. This is a very limited test and won't be extended to all kitchen ROMs.

The kitchen provides both the stable release build and the current unstable 'nightly' build (with update checks hourly).

Is there a difference between the members only and free kitchens?

The biggest difference of course is the allocation of servers in the farm, which equates to speed and availability. The other difference is that the member kitchen can create signed builds, whereas the free kitchen cannot.

Awesome! How do I support future kitchen developments?

Details on how to donate are in the original post at MoDaCo.

Do we post feedback on the CM 6 ROM here?

Only feedback on any issues relating to the kitchen... feedback on the ROM itself should be posted at the CyanogenMod forum.

Anything else?

The kitchens can be found here (unfortunately there's no way for me to embed them into this post) . Enjoy! :)

Hi Paul... I cooked a (nightly) rom with your "premium" kitchen... but I've got a question: if I try to look for an upgraded version of the rom (through the "Rom update utility") it say that there are no updated version of it.

This happens every night I try.

So... what I have to do to upgrade my nightly "cooked" (clean by all unused stuff ecc...) cyanogen rom? I don't want to upgrade to the stock nightly one, this way the online cooking became useful!

Thanks in advance and... sorry for my bad english, I'm from Italy.

Creating .nomedia folder in windows 7 solution

1. Goto command prompt : Run->cmd

2. Goto your flash drive e.g. F:

3. Goto you desire folder e.g. CD gameloft

4. type "copy con .nomedia" and press enter

5. press F6 and press enter.

This will create the .nomedia file in windows.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0ska:
Old thread but here is a no Computer needed option:

Download ES File explorer (its free)

Install and open it

Navigate to the folder you want to exclude (remember it propagates down e.g. if you place it in the root of SD then the whole of SD is excluded including all the sub-folders)

Press Menu and select "new"

Select "File"

Call it .nomedia

Rescan your memory Cards

Sorted no PC required :)

You can open notepad via Windows->notepad and ctrl+S to save it (with blank content), in the "File name" field, you type ".nomedia" and in the "save as Type" field, you chose "All files (*.*))"

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] absoposi:
No need to create file or using an application

You don't need to find a way to create that file. Connect your mobile to pc by USB and browse in your sdcard. Enable show hidden or system files from your operating systems file explorer. Find a .nomedia file and copy it to the new location you want. This is more practical. Also if you have a root explorer on your Android, you don't even need a pc.

If you have root you may also use root explorer to copy the .nomedia file from a folder where it already exists and paste it to whatever game folder or voicemail folder you want to stop playing files from.

[Desire General] htcd2fan:
Hi there,

just did a quick search in these forums an didn't find a similar problem or an answer, so here's my problem / question:

On my Desire (official FroYo, not rooted or anything like that) i've set up my e-mail account (not googlemail) in the stock e-mail-app.

It's the german e-mail-provider web.de, and as i'm a paying customer there i get full IMAP access. (but just to mention it, the problem still occurs when using POP3, but i'm using IMAP on my phone anyway ;) ).

I've set up the phone to check for mails every 5 minutes, and in this case everything works just fine.

Usually it works this way:

I receive a new e-mail, it plays the notification sound and LED is blinking. fine so far.

I open the mail, notifications disappear. Just like it's meant to be.

Now the other case, where i'm not capable of instantly opening the newly received mail:

I receive a new e-mail, it plays the notification sound and LED is blinking. fine so far.

Now i don't open the mail / react to the notification, after five minutes, when the phone checks for new mails like set up in the options, it plays the notification sound again. And five minutes later, again. And again. And so on...

Just to mention: This happens if i don't receive any more new emails, just the one.

So, my phone thinks it has received a new email, even if it has already checked for exactly that mail and as a consequence, tries to notify me. Which gets really annoying, if e.g. i'm sleeping at night and it starts making noise every five minutes.

Just an example, i know i could turn it silent but there are situations where this isn't possible...

When i'm using the Desire as a GPS-Navigation device while driving in my car, it gets really annoying. Pulling down the notification bar, clicking on the notification, opening and closing the email just to mark it as read, so that it won't play the notification any more is quiet tricky while driving... ;)

So, is there any fix to this, without disabling the general sound-notification for new emails? I'd just like to hear (or not hear, if i'm not near the device) the Sound ONCE. And only again, if i receive any NEW emails, but not every five minutes for the same one until i open it... ;)
[Desire General] leecavturbo:

would like an option to disable or set a time like every hour?

also i have this prob with getting text message for every email but i can see the email in the text too!!

and "E:can't find /sdcard/update.zip"

I also tried to mount my sdcard with a cardreader but neither windows 7 nor XP recognize my sd card.
