I have been busy lately an unable to post a mini guide on getting this done. Just had my first child!!

In anycase I haven't tried making a loop module, I am waiting for the 2.2 kernel source. But I did make a second ext3 partition on my sd card and used debootstrap to install debian. It is currently only a chroot environment but I can use apt to install pacakgrs over wifi.

Hopefully in a few days I will have some time to post a step by step. If you want to try you can do some research on debootstrapp. I used a card reader to format the sd and use debootstrap to install ubuntu or debian.

When I switch to CM6 I only have one signal bar compared to Damage and Fresh Roms where I have full 3g signal bars. Is there a solution for that?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
It could be that CM6 interprets dbm differently. General rule is that signal bars mean nothing. In CM stettings go to the notification bar and turn on dbm. That is more important.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kallisti5:
+1, I noticed this as well switching back and forth between CM and ROMS based on sprint code.

My guess is sprint's rom is being optimistic as it makes the end user think sprint offers better coverage then they really do :)

Example at work:

I get a full 5 bars on sprint images.

I get one bar on CM.

Actual db is around the same in each case... lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
I would not doubt Sprint is doing this. Who wants to see 1 to 2 bars when they can see 5 to 6 (in the case of the stock bars). I think pretty soon we will move to the better dbm based meter as standard.

signal strength is the same, its just the calibration for the visual effect that is different. Its the same concept as the IPhone 4 signal "fix" that apple released.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jfree3000:
I am using Cm6 and when I updated my PRI using a stock rom and came back to Cm6 I am getting 3 or all 4 bars. I wish i would have taken a screen shot to do a before and after comparison, 3g seems the same I guess.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afflaq:
it's twofold. CM6 iirc shows data signal strength and not voice signal strength, as well as the number of bars being smaller. evo default uses 6 bars I believe.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaba14:
Hi all-

Not sure if this is the right place for this question, but I emailed the dev and he wasn't able to help with fixing this.

I'm using both Pure Calendar and Pure Grid Calendar and can't figure out an easy way to edit events. In both programs, when I tap on an event, it takes me to an "Event Details" dialog. At this dialog, when I hit menu, I get the options of "Delete Event" "Share vCalendar" and "Agenda". If I hit agenda, I then get an Agenda view which I can then hold press on an item to edit it. Is there a way to edit events with less steps?

I'm on a rooted Incredible running Skyraider 2.5.2 Vanilla. When I look in Applications (under settings), it tells me my Calendar is "Calendar for Android Version 2.01.0018.263529".

Thanks!

[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
I am interested in the optional Mobile Hotspot feature and its extra-cost service. I cannot justify that expense if I have to lock it in for a whole two-year contract, but I would find it useful sometimes.

For example, if I plan to be traveling in a certain month and want to add this service for $30 for that billing cycle but drop it later, could I do so?
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
If you add/remove the hotspot service before your billing cycle they should be able to change it whenever you want.

Personally though, if you just root your phone, you can have free tethering whenever you want! ;)
[Epic 4G General] iboomabstic:
You don't have to commit to it, you can add and cancel whenever.
[Epic 4G General] FrankCummings:
I heard that if you want to use the full-fledged mobile hotspot funstionality to connect to multiple devices, you must pay the $30 mobile broadband service, but if you just wanna tether to one device using, says, PDAnet, you don't have to buy the plan. Is it true? There are EVO users who claim that Sprint cut it off once they know you're tethering w/o plan even just to one device using PDAnet.
[Epic 4G General] gophergun:
I believe the official statement from Sprint is that this is allowed. However, the last time I used PDAnet, it wasn't very good, and I much prefer the root approach to it, as that way you can tether via wifi as well.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
The only way Sprint will actually know if you are tethering is if you are using HIGH AMOUNTS of data CONSTANTLY. Which in that case, they have the right to cut you off if its obvious you are tethering on a constant basis.

But simply tethering a few devices to browse internet, stream videos/music doesn't use up TOO much data. The most I've ever used was about 200MB when I had 3 laptops tethered to my phone for about 1.5 hours.

$30 bucks a month for tethering is ridiculous unless you plan on being tethered for days on end.

The rooted tether works perfectly on my Nexus, to connect laptops, my DSi, friends iphones/ipod touches etc and is best of all free. ;)
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
Nevertheless, there is a difference between what the terms and conditions might forbid, and what you might get away with only because it is selectively enforced at the carrier's discretion. From Sprint's point of view, reading the agreement you sign, you might be considered to be cheating them out of payment for a premium service. You might think that "ridiculous," but you signed a contract.

I know about under-the-table, rooted tethering and hotspot creation. I can go to the dev forums and read about that if and when I need to. My question is about the business terms and process for following the contract.
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
The hotspot is $29.99 a month. You can turn it on and off all you want. If you only use it for the weekend, that's all they charge you for. I do it like twice a month with evo. I just chat with them and it takes like 3 mins. Most of the time I use USB tethering. I have 2.2 and cant root yet so I use PDAnet. Awesome little program. I have a good 4G so I use the hell out of it.

I've talk to sprint about it and the USB and Bluetooth tethering is fine. Free

Use PDAnet and it will work 4G and 3G.

If I plan to use the PS3 or Wii. Ill chat with a rep and turn the WiFi Hub on for a few days.

http://techland.com/2010/08/23/apple-plans-to-remotely-kill-your-iphone-if-its-jailbroken/

So now, Apple is saying that all jailbroken iPhones are susceptible to being wiped and/or bricked automatically by Apple This applies to anyone who has jailbroken or hacked the iPhone in any way.

Amazing..........
[EVO 4G General] omegasun18:
technically it doesnt say they are now susceptible. there is a patent that was published for them to have the ability to do this. There are still a plethora of legal issues i ma sure they would have to figure out.

It honestly doesnt surprise me i will never under stand the general sheep attitude that if you put an I in front of it and it has a fruit logo it must be good. Most apple products i think are a joke at the very least and highly over rated pos at best.

I do like mac computers but all there mobile devices could go away and i wouldn't shed a tear.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
You're right; I said "are" susceptible instead of "would be" as this is still something they are trying to do at this point. So Apple wants to try to burn their customers by bricking their phones, and HTC releases their source codes to the public so Android devs can have at it. Talk about going from one extreme to the other.....lol
[EVO 4G General] rizzoads:
Right. From what I understand, nothing has been stated or written that implies remote wiping of jailbroken devices. From what I can tell, the patent is for the capabilities to implement security measures at the rightful owner's command.

I don't understand the "sheep attitude" either, but I won't go as far as you... The iPhone is a pretty great device, but my Evo with King's BFS #5 Kernel and EViO runs circles around it in every way.

iPhone is still a general consumer device, in my opinion. Professionals, and more tech savvy people should recognize that it is inferior to several of the Android options (Evo, Nexus One, Droid Incredible, Droid X, Epic....) Everybody I know who bought an iPhone 4 calls it "iPhone 4G". That, in itself, tells me everything I need to know about how much they actually know about mobile technology.

i hate apple.:cool:
[EVO 4G General] omegasun18:
Let me rephrase the hardware itself is not bad. The iphone is not a bad phone. when you put ios4 on it and they force you to go through apple's restricted store and force you to have to use apple approved everything it becomes a crappy device. For ipods as soon as they mention itunes the device fails. apple can take amazing hardware with a solid look and kill it with there crappy software and extremely restricted views on what people should and shouldnt be allowed to do.

you made my arguemtn for me look at what android allows and does, now look at apple when you compare and look at the whole package the iphone fails miserable compared to android phones this is my basis for my opinion of it.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
I agree. My problem is not with the iPhone itself so much as with the fact that it is made by Apple and therefore is limited to what the Apple allows. The fact that they would even try do something like what is on the article should be enough to deter people from buying their product; whether they intend to jailbreak it or not. However, the Apple fan base is so brain washed by Apple's very own BS, that some of their customers actually believe it is BAD and reverse progress when people jailbreak their phones.

I really don't get it.
[EVO 4G General] bisby:
Droid X efuse in its TI processor was a very similar thing. Not for all rooting, but roms. Same concept anyway.

When I got my evo, i removed the SIM card from my iphone 3g, downgraded back to 3.1.3 to make it not run like the horrid mess of crap that iOS 4. Then I rejailbroke it and gave it to my girlfriends brother as an ipod so he didnt have to waste money on one.

Which gets me on another rant. if a jailbroken iphone 3g can run multitasking and wallpapers on 3.1.3 flawlessly, why does an iphone 3g run like crap on 4.0 with those things disabled. Seems to me that apple is afraid of the fact that the "hacker community" is SOOO much better at coding than them.
[EVO 4G General] Joeriginal:
Could be mistaken but it wasnt google who implemented Efuse into the Droid X, it was Motorola the phone manufacturer not the software manufacturer. So its not really the same concept seeing apple has total control over its device, while with android the manufacturer is given liberities as well.
[EVO 4G General] bomix:
They already have an app that will kill the apple kill switch. if you can dream it they will hack it. I agree the Iphone hardware is nice.. they make both hardware and software, it's deserves praise but that's it. back to the Evo world.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nirzay:
Hi

I’m using Elelinux_Froyo_2.2_v1.5 with flykernel-10.

I defined an Exchange account to connect to my emails at work.

The problem is that when I send an email using outlook on my laptop the email is sent twice!! (one of them with subject only).

This happens only on this ROM.

I tried also another Froyo ROM (FroydVillain 1.4.3) and all went well.

I tried Elelinux 1.4 and flykernel-9 with the same result.

Each time I installed this ROM I did a full wipe.

When I shut down my Hero or remove the account the problem is gone!

I tried to change the sync option from push to every hour but it didn’t help.

I noticed I'm getting empty emails sent to my Hero to the Drafts folder?!?! it might be related to the problem!

How do I disable it?

Is there any setup/configuration I can check to fix this problem??

Any ideas?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSiraris:
This morning i got a notification that my phone storage space is getting low. I have 12.8 MB free according to the system stats. It seems, though, that my phone thinks I have 0 MB free, as I tried to download something and it said I had no room (the file was a few dozen KB).

I then received a notice that a text had been rejected because my text message memory was full. I went in and did some house cleaning: deleted about 15 threads, some with 150-200 msgs in it. I then tried sending myself a test text, and it still said that my text message memory was full.

Anyone have any idea what's going on, and how to fix it? I'm having terrible flashbacks to my BB Curve when it didn't have a SD card in it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herrwinkler:
This is Android's "dirty little secret". All of your apps are stored on your phone's internal storage. If you're on a N1 then you're running 2.2, right?

Go to settings>applications>manage applications> all, click on each app and see if you can move to SD. While you're in there, clear the less important app's cache. Google Earth is a HOG.

You can also root and flash CyanogenMod. Then You'll be able to put all apps on your SD.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSiraris:
I am on 2.2, but most of the apps I have can't be moved to SD because the developer hasn't enabled it.

How much internal storage does the N1 have? I don't have that many large apps on here. Maybe I should uninstall Google Earth, which is a huge hog, you're right.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herrwinkler:
I have something over 100 apps on my phone, not Gapps, just downloaded stuff. If I'm reading it right titanium backup backs up over 200. I have a 16 GB sd card and I'm using CM6 which allows me to put whatever apps on my SD I want. Other ROMs let you do this as well, or you can root and move all your apps to SD. I just personally like CM6. Be careful though, I've noticed that some apps that get moved don't work or strangely disappear. especially if they have a widget. There is a link to the one click app in my signature below. It's called universal androot.

Good luck.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sousafrui:
My advise: Just root using Androidroot (1click-root) and after that search in Xda for setinstalllocation, download and install it and move all your apps to the sd-card (don't move widgets, autostart apps, root apps? or services). Did that last week and get back almost 40 mb in internal storage.

While you are doing it suggest you install from the market cachmate for root - it will be your day-a-day friend.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmomo:
Noob here. Noob on XDA anyway. I've owned by Nexus One for over two years now and I've been pretty happy with it. However, I am finally running out of internal memory, even after moving all the apps I could to flash.

Actually, it's mostly TMobile's crappy voicemail app's fault that I am here. If there is less than 10% of space on the device, it flips out and won't download voicemails any longer, which is horrible.

So, here I am today, I just rooted my phone and using posts like this one, I am figuring out how I can force some of those greedy apps onto my sdcard to free up some space. I will probably go with a custom rom here too soon, since there will no longer be updates for the Nexus One.

I know there are much much better phones out now, but this thing works and has been very good.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinical:
I'm not sure how this works on the sensation, but try this.

Since you already have a custom ROM, I'm assuming your phone has been rooted. In that case, install darktremor's a2sd script. You'll have to create and ext3 or ext4 partition on your sd card, and then the script will automatically move some apps to the ext partition freeing up space on your phones data partition.

The same goes for you.

I can't post the link for the script, but just search the forums or google for dta2sd and you'll find it.

To create an ext partition, I would recommend using 4ext recovery.

Hope this helps.
