delete "update.zip" on internal sdcard. make sure to reinstall clockwork recovery again using rom manager after u r done.

make sure whatever ur installing is rename to update.zip for stock recovery to work.

for lagfix use this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=751864

unzip it. connect ur phone with usb debugging. click lagfixme wait for it to prompt for superuser then it will do the rest for you
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
I knew I could do it using terminal emulator but I need to learn commands

Should I delete it from my internal after I have the battery indicator installed, should I get rid of that update.zip? I did a backup using ROM Manager before adding the battery indicator. So I have my former ROM and Current ROM backed up.

OMG, I've been going crazy trying to get my phone into boot screen all night. Thanks for this!
[Captivate Android Development] akachay:
yea delete update.zip(battery indicator). open rom manager to install your clockwork recovery which will automatically put an update.zip(clockwork recovery) back on ur sd card. thus "update.zip" is just a rename for whatever program/file.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Also there is an app called quick boot in the market. Its free and will take you to stock reboot and recovery without going through the whole hold power

And vol up and down at same time. Is super easy to use. It have icon on my phone next to rom manager so one will be clockwork recov, and the othe stock.
[Captivate Android Development] gunnyman:
Is there a way to make clockwork the default? I'm so used to using adb I do reboot recovery then go ARRRGH I wanted clockwork!
[Captivate Android Development] bmvik:
thanks guys!! I ended up using that app from the market. And renaming the battery zip file to update.zip
[Captivate Android Development] bmvik:
reboot thru ROM manager, it will take you to Clockwork right away, right?
[Captivate Android Development] gunnyman:
well yeah but I seem to be able to type ./adb reboot recovery faster :D
[Captivate Android Development] Unhelpful:
I have a kernel that replaces stock recovery with clockworkmod. I'm trying to work out whether I can actually distribute such a thing, and also how to incorporate downloading it into my kernel build script so that I don't need to include it with the sources.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I'm pretty sure Koush said he wanted this from the start. The reason he changed the way clockwork recovery works for our phones was because recovery and the system are handled by the same part of system code, unlike with other phones.

He wanted to make it available to be incorporated into other kernels/ROMs instead of relying specifically on his kernel (which is why the roundabout happened from earlier where he offered the stock kernel to revert to)
[Captivate Android Development] Unhelpful:
It doesn't use a custom kernel, it's started from an update.zip normally.
[Captivate Android Development] gunnyman:
Does our recovery system work the way it does because of lack of fastboot?
[Captivate Android Development] gunnyman:
Another idea. is there something we can add to build.prop or perhaps init.rc so a command such as adb reboot clockwork would work? Just spitballing here.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
Unless I'm mistaken, his original method did require a custom kernel or modified the stock kernel which is why he offered the stock kernel for people to reflash when he provided the final release.

HMMM false advertising on Amazon's part perhaps?

The super-smart Samsung Captivate for AT&T brings a fully integrated entertainment, messaging and social networking experience to your mobile phone, thanks to its open and innovative Android 2.1 platform. You'll be able to zip through the Web and multitask between a bevy of apps with the Captivate's 1 GHz processor and ultra-fast 7.2 Mbps 3G connectivity.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
I just called AT&T and the HSPA 7.2 isn't on my closest tower yet, the CSR told me that my phone would get it as soon as it is completely rolled out. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuneee:
The thing to understand about HSPA is, while the radio on the phone and tower support 7.2Mbps down, there may not be enough backhaul (wired or microwave connection) to AT&T's network to provide you a full 7.2Mbps. For instance, Charlotte, NC was one of the first cities to gain 7.2Mbps. I've been there multiple times, but the highest I have seen was close to 3Mbps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Thanks for that info. AT&T has been busting their ass on infrastructure here. Uverse has rolled out and then we have the 7.2 roll out.

If we remove the calendar apk will this also remove this process that runs constantly??

does anyone have any insight into this before I nand and attempt it??

well. i deleted the calendar and calendar provider, apk's and odex's.

while calendar is gone-- com.htc.bgp is still active, it is now listed with 'PCSynchronization' right above ObexService.

is there a way we can access the location where com.htc.bgp is hiding and delete it? thank you thank you

anyone got anything on deleting that horrid process, com.htc.bgp?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Facebook syncing. So I suppose if you killed all instances of your Facebook autosync and perhaps even deleted FB from Accounts & Sync settings, that process would stop as well and not ever need to run.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
everything on my device is manual. no background data, etc. as I wrote, the above mentioned process is now listed with pc synchronization rather than calendar (its deleted). did I make that clear enough... I'm a little tired...

[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
The Motorola Flipout is fairly easy to root, at least now. Universal Androot (get it here) works.

I am thinking about moving apps to the sd card. However, since I haven't reflashed the phone, and I don't have a ROM for it, I'd like to do it without reflashing. Is that possible?

If I partition an SD card correctly (ext3), copy all of /data onto that partition, and then mount that partition over /data, will that work? Or do I have to mount the card before the phone boots?

Or is it better to just copy /data/data, and mount the partition over /data/data?

It seems to me that mounting over a directory, as opposed to creating a link is least invasive, because on reboot the phone is as it was before. Is this right?

If I have to mount the sdcard before the phone boots, can I just edit one of the init scripts, or is that more complicated? I read about editing init.rc and repacking boot.img

Oh, HOWTO unpack edit and repack boot images seems to give good instructions. On the Flipout, boot is mtd4, and recovery is mtd5.

If I only modify boot, I can't brick my phone too badly? Since I haven't changed recovery, I should be able to recover (?). Can I create an update.zip that flashes the old boot.img and undoes my changes in case something goes wrong?

You use App2Card.apk at below for app2sd without flash:

http://www.tinhte.vn/f280/app2card-2-4-4-20-9-cai-dat-ung-dung-len-nho-phan-vung-456586/

Requires: just a rooted phone

Steps:

- install app

- click Menu / Partition button then use slide bars to create ext2 for your sd card if it hasn't been splited yet

- click Install App2card button

- phone will be rebooted and you just taste app on sd after then

Note: above page has further instruction but it is vietnamese, you must use google translate to get it. This app runs perfectly on my Milestone.
[Flipout and Charm General] adlx.xda:
Hi,

I'd really like to help with that (I'm a confirm dev. for Cliq and CliqXT phones).

Hopefully we can do great things like we did for Cliq and CLiqXT (upgrade to 2.1!). (check my work at http://bit.ly/adlxmod).

First thing would be to generate a system dump (a dump of all the files in the /system partition). Hopefully we then could generate a custom recovery to flash on the phone, and then custom roms, either base on the dump you provide or other roms from other files. Contact me on twitter @adumont (say it's for Flipout) and I'll guide you to generate the dump!

Looking forward to do great things for that litle phone!
[Flipout and Charm General] Sakem:
I'm in touch with adlxdum to give him my dump but I think we should start a separated thread like "Custom rom, modding (work in progress)" so that we can follow adlxdum work.

And...thx in advance ;-)
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
Worked!

I couldn't repartition the SD card with the program, so I had to partition it myself. But once that was done, thing seem to work well. A bit slower...

I'm not totally sure how to use the app. Internal seems to still be full, but ext2 on the SD is quite empty. I can't seem to be able to tell if an app is installed to internal or external.

I have to try and install some more apps to see if I run out of memory.

Thanks!!
[Flipout and Charm General] MrShides:
I'm guessing the flipout and charm are almost identical phones?

My wife has a charm and i'm one of those "i'm not a developer, but I'd like to help" guys.
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
Yes, I think they are very similar.

One thing that I'm interested in is the accelerometer. On the Flipout, most apps that use it are twisted - for example wikitude, and many games (labyrinth lite works!) I wonder if things work on the charm...
[Flipout and Charm General] MrShides:
the charm has the same issue.
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:

Hi ghostwheel

I've tried installing app2card, but I'm having some problems. I got the new version 2.7.2.

As you said, the partition doesnt work. For me it says sd card is full but its empty...

How did you manually partition it?

I've found some tutorials but it was for other phones and they required a custom rom...
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
I partitioned the card using a linux computer, with the program fdisk.

I allocated 2GB to a partition of type ext2. But, I think there are many alternatives for partitioning a disk, see this page:

http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f9/how-to-create-ext2-partition-14232/
[Flipout and Charm General] longlife_01:
Wow great link! Many different options! Will try this as soon as I get a micro sd card adapter. Thanks!

You mentioned in your old post that you were having problems using app2card, That you weren't sure if it was working. Have you been able to use it since? Is it working well? and if not have you found an alternative?

I just started using this phone and I'm almost running out of memory... this is quite annoying!
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
Yes, I was having problems. Mainly when restarting the phone, sometimes oodles of apps don't work, including launcher pro, and app2card. You have to remember that when the phone reboots and seems to have FC problems, don't chose any home screen as the default, in case it crashes, and keep a spare app2card to reinstall on the sdcard. I think "severe" problems I had only twice, or so.

So, I have almost no problems. Most of the time it works really well. So well, in fact, that I'm a bit afraid to upgrade it, in case something breaks. And, I totally forgot what it is like to have to delete apps to install another one. :D

I have more of the opposite problem - finding an app among all those installed takes a realllly long time if you forgot its name. Apps organizer helps.

hello, i am new and i have flipout to test in poland orange network, i just root him using 1st post in this forum, great job! thanks :)
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
OK, I am having some problems with the current version of app2card. As I said, sometimes when I turn the device off and back on, app2card fails, and many apps give a FC which starting. Then one needs to fix the apps from app2card. It seems that once that is done, some apps lose some of their data. So, for example, droidwall (excellent program!!), lost all firewall data. I'll have to check if newer versions of app2card don't have this problem. It doesn't happen very often.

Instructions to root Flipout

Hi - I'd consider myself a newbie regarding rooting. I just got the AT&T Flipout - I really like the form factor. I just tried running the Universal Androot from my phone but got the security warning message about only being able to install from trusted sources.

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Many thanks!
[Flipout and Charm General] melenko:
it says that with a lot of apps installed like that, including gmote that I downloaded from the developers site. Just look at what you're downloading like you would on any machine
[Flipout and Charm General] longlife_01:
go to settings > Application and tick on unknown sources to be able to install it.
[Flipout and Charm General] leighj:
longlife_01 - thanks for the advice...

That setting doesn't seem to be available on the AT&T Flipout. It has a "mock locations" setting in Applications but it doesn't seem to enable the unknown apps installation.

Is there a directory I can drop the apk file into to enable the installation?
[Flipout and Charm General] longlife_01:
leighj: Hmm.. sorry don't know if that's possible then...

ok so i tried app2card and my phone is bricked... :(

Need some HELP please!!!

So here's what I did:

It took me a while to format the sd card as I don't have a microsd reader so I had to do it by connecting the phone. Only thing that worked was using Acronis Disk Director which was very easy to use.

So once I installed app2card, I performed a backup with it and then set it up to move a couple apps on the sd card. It then asked me to reboot which I did. When rebooting it wouldnt boot into the os. It kept looping between the Motorola screen and the Android screen. I let it do that for a couple minutes and decided to remove the battery. Rebooted again and had the same problem. So I removed the sd card and it worked. It went into the OS. Had a couple FC's, inserted the sd card but it wouldn't recognize it so I rebooted and it booted quickly. But then all my apps weren't there, which seems to be normal according to the tutorial. So I tried restoring the backup and it rebooted just a couple seconds after I pressed ok. Since then it's been hanging on the motorola screen...

Anyone know what I can do??

I'd rather not flash the phone if possible as there seems to be problems with the roms available depending on where the phone was bought. Mine was bought in taiwan but it seems to be a hong kong version as it said something like that in the firmware version. And the only versions available without motoblur are from the Uk / Italy and Central Europe. So I'd rather do this as a last resort.

I've already tried going into recovery mode and tried the Factory reset and Wipe cache partition,

[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
Hi longlife_01!

Can you give a bit more info:

1. What happens now when you boot without the SD card in the slot?

2. What version of app2card are you using? (For me 2.5.0 seems more stable than 2.7.3).

3. Did you try "fix FC errors" from app2card?
[Flipout and Charm General] longlife_01:
Hey Ghostwheel,

1. I've already tried booting without the sd card and it doesn't change anything. Still stuck on the motorola screen...

2. I'm using app2card version 2.7.6

3. I tried "fix FC error" the last time I was able to be in the OS when I did the backup restore. It didn't seem to do anything. I would check all, press ok and it would just close the window.
[Flipout and Charm General] longlife_01:
hm.... just wondering, would just flashing the bootloader help in any way?
[Flipout and Charm General] longlife_01:
Ok I couldnt figure it out so I reflashed with a rom.

I used the china version first but for some reason the market wasnt availabe... so then I used the italy version amd I have to say, i didnt have blur before, and damn it takes a looonng time to boot with blur....

I installed app2card and now it seems to work. But i'm having some FC problems.

Ghostwheel, I was wondering, when you use the "Fix FC errors" tool, what happens? I tried it and when I click the list of app appears, I then select and when I press ok, nothing happens.. it just goes back to the menu and I still have the FC problem...

EDIT: fixed this by removing all the apps that would FC and reinstalling fresh from the market manually.

But now I'm running into another problem... the Home button doesn't do anything anymore, when i press the power button now I only have the option to power off, no more airplane mode and ringer off and I can't access the memory card from the computer anymore... I can see a removable disk on the computer but it won't let me access it and I can still access the sd card from the phone...

Anyone had this before??
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
When I do fix FC, app2card starts counting - something like fixed 34/179, 35/179 and so on. Maybe it also says how many failed (usually 1 or none so).

It is really strange that you have so many problems, and I have so few. Maybe it is the version of app2card? I went back to 2.5.0, because 2.7.3 gave me too many problems. (random reboots). How did you format your SD card? I have a 2GB ext2 partition, on a 16GB card.

I usually have FC problems after I reboot, or power off (battery dead...). I think I remember there was a case when FC wasn't fixed, and I had to reinstall.
[Flipout and Charm General] longlife_01:
I had 2.7.6 installed and the fix FC didnt do anything. I went back to 2.7.3 and now it works and im not getting any FC anymore. Everything works great no random reboot, except what I said in my previous post where the Home button doesnt work, the power button doesnt give all the options and I cant access the SD card by USB. I also don't have any FC when I reboot.

I formatted a 1gb ext2 using disk director on a 16gb sandisk class 4 card.

UPDATE:

So I finally got EVERYTHING to work. What I did is backup all of my apps and data using mybackuppro, reflashed the rom to have a clean install, Installed app2sd straight away after doing the usual rooting and then restored all of my apps again one by one and reinstalling the apps that didnt have any data i needed such as games, fb and stuff like that. This way seems to be the best way as rebooting after installing app2sd was waay faster since there were almost no apps installed and I didnt have any problems. I used the latest version of app2sd v2.7.8 and havent had any unusual problems such as FC. Just had a bootloop problem that happenned once, after i transfered a lot of videos and mp3 on my phone, but was fixed by just removing the battery and rebooting.
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
I just had to reflash my phone, too... Now I have the version without motoblur.

It has a much cooler boot animation :p

But, after installing app2card 2.7.9.1, I'm having the same problems as you describe: home key does nothing (other than vibrating), and power shows only option to power off, no flight mode, no reboot.

When you said above app2sd you meant app2card, right?

I'll reflash tonight... I'm still not sure what version of app2card to use. I think it is also getting confused by my ext2 partition contents. I might have to empty that, too.
[Flipout and Charm General] longlife_01:
You mean the shining android text? :p

Already a new version available?! That hainguyen is making a new version every week! Yea I meant app2card of course

Not much details on what he changed tho...

I think I'm gonna stick with the version I have, don't really need the partition tool anymore now and I don't wanna risk having the home button problem too... About this problem btw, I searched around and some other people seem to be having this kind of problem with other phones and it seems to be due to app conflicts. I did notice that when I went back to the internal memory on app2card (I still had all my apps on it) the home button worked. Most people fixed this by doing a factory reset but it didnt work for me which is why I flashed.

I did wipe my ext2 partition before flashing and all that I explained in my previous post, forgot to mention that.
[Flipout and Charm General] ghostwheel:
Ah, but what about 2.7.8: (whooops.... I didn't notice that's what you used....)

But I really don't know which version to use. I really got used to the bugs in 2.5.0. I don't want to have to learn a whole new set of bugs....

And I'm too addicted to app2card to give it up.
