Can anybody share a 1G data.img? I am not familiar with linux but I want more space on my polaris.

regards

EDIT: the solution here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741383

This can be done with any data.img... even existing one one.
Boot phone in windows mobile. attach to linux box(linux computer or live cd) in disk mode(when u attach hd2 to computer it will ask mode,select disk mode).
go to terminal.
go to the /media
then go to the directory which represents your hd2 phone, then to [B]andboot [/B]directory.
then enter following commands

e2fsck -f data.img
(if it asks to fix say y)

resize2fs -p data.img 512000
(this is for half gb, change it as per requirement)

e2fsck -f data.img

Then reboot the phone.
You may see green screen. if so, simply reboot again.
works like a charm.
no need to download huge file. can be done with a used data.img at any time and any number of times.

You need to install ubuntu first / You do not need any partitions

Install normally first, system to NAND and data to data.img

Remove the card from the phone

Move the card to the phone and reboot

You are done.

Storage shows 2,36 G for me now (2,13 G free after installing 60 programs), and I still have 11,55G for music, maps and so on !

kk last kernel + incubus26jc's RLS14

Note: do not ask me to share it because it constains all personal configuration and I do not know yet how to clean it.

Now the question is: when I want to update to next release, what do I have to do? install data to data.img and resize it again? or I can overwrite with my old&big data.img file?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
you can create it using boot script generator (select the size)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] cruiserrr:
ok I thought your tool required the nbh posted in your thread.

I have created the sh file but before I flash may be you can help me:

1. What I want to do is to install all apps to my 16g sd. Typically in windows mobile I keep 6g in music, 4g in onroad and offroad navigators and maps 1g on installed apps and 2g on non installed apps.

2. After quite a lot of reading, I do not understand which options do I have with incubus26jc's froyo 2.2. for pola100: apps2sd? dataimg? ext2 partition? linux swap on a third partition?

3. Your tool can help creating partitions? does it exist an easy way to create partitions from windows with no linux and no money?

4. Which set-up would you recommend to me data.img or ext2? I like it fast boot and fast performance so I am trying nand install.

5. I can not flash from the sdcard so I flash the nbh from windows and leave the rar file in andboot. If I leave your sh in andboot will it work?

6. If I do not use the script generated by your app and resize data.img manually will I have to do it everytime I try a new ROM?

thanks so much for your help so far.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
new nbh has all you need to make it works inside.

i'm writing a new tool to partition sd card but is in alpha version and i need dzo release my file...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] cruiserrr:
Well it seems not easy to me:

I stick to Kakt_Kaffe kernel + incubus rls 14 since i have wifi and camera with no probs. I have installed ubuntu and formated the sd card with fat32,ext and lynux-swap but I can not install data to the partition. sigh

I have also tried with the same kernel your script and I does not boot.

I will try to resize my data.img in ubunto (reinstalling now because I rebooted ubuntu without noticing it was downloading a system uptade)

If you need beta testers for the sd partitioner I can do some testing.

I took the work of Andrizoid, and with his permission updated it and am posting it here. Original credit goes to him.

If you would like to donate to him you can do so by clicking here.

This is a "Kitchen" for lack of a better term for making MetaMorph themes.

Start by unzipping the file to your Desktop or other working area. It will place a folder, MetaMorph-Builder, and 2 scripts inside that folder, wherever you extracted it to.

Once you get the files extracted, run the "Run-Me" script. :D

Follow all of the onscreen prompts, and you will finish with a theme control file like my sample

<themename>Generic-Theme</themename>
<themeversion>420</themeversion>
<author>Jimmy-Joe</author>
<phone>Phone1</phone>
<rom>Rom1</rom>
<description>Short description goes here.</description>

<item>framework-res.apk</item>
<path>/system/framework/</path>
<description>Requires reboot</description>

<item>Gallery.apk</item>
<path>/system/app/</path>

The script also sets up the folder for the app and the nestled folders insider

>app

>>res

>>>drawable

>>>drawable-m/hdpi

>>>drawable-land-m/hdpi

>>>drawable-port-m/hdpi

All thats left is for you to add the image files to the right folder and zip it up.

This is only a bash script. It will NOT work on Windows. If you know batch scripting and would like to port it to Windows, go right ahead!
[Android Themes] es0tericcha0s:
Anyone give it a shot yet?
[Android Themes] domineus:
so..with this program you could port any theme (even flashable ones) to metamorph?
[Android Themes] es0tericcha0s:
Though I hadnt thought of it that way before, yes you can. This thing will setup EVERYTHING but the images.

Hello guys, I tried to install the latest version of Google Navigation Maps in my Brazilian Cliq XT (Quench), for that I had to uninstall the actual version (dunno the number)...

Trying to install 4+ versions on my mobile I discovered that Android 1.5 is not supported, so I'm without any version.

If I access the site m.google.com/maps it just show a link to open the app, it does not give an option do install it.

Tried searching on Market, no luck. Tried searching on AppBrain the version is not compatible.

Does anybody know how can I install the compatible version of Google Navigation Maps?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroBarrier:
You can try the appmod Brut Google Maps; I'm not sure is Android 1.5 is supported, but it is probably your best bet.

@saulob

If I remember correctly Google has added 1.6 requirement just for navigation. GM3.2.0 was first version with both navigation and 1.6 req. 3.1.2 was latest without navigation and with 1.5 support.
[Android Apps and Games] saulob:
@ZeroBarrier, that`s what caused the trouble, Android 1.5 does not support it :(

@Brut.all, thanks for the detailed info. So, 3.1.2 it is. Do you know where I can download the apk? Gonna Google for it. Thanks.

Thank you for the reply guys.

edit:

Found it on the new, on a site called freewarelovers, new and old versions, too bad I can`t post the link... but, the site /android/app/google-maps

With the version number it was easier ;)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dreamtheater2003:
Hi does any one know how to skip bad block on 4gb internal memory of our diamond. I've been searching for a solution but haven't found one that actually fix my problem.

Before this bad block happend to my device it was working fine. It all started when I loaded haret from xdandroid. It works fine on my device for the first few tries and afterwards It wont work.. so I keep on reinstalling xdandroid and fixes the problem after many many tries.. I've notice that files that I save on my internal memory gets corrupted. Images becomes distorted documents got messed up and apps won't install.. this is where it all started.. I've tried alot of solutions. formating using panasonic sd formater, formating from the device, formating using windows, bet problem is still there.. also one thing I've notice on HSPL 1.93 the internal memory format wont work but for HSPL 1.38 it's working ok.

I know that the 4gb internal memory in our diamond is a nand and I'm trying to find a tool or a way that can help us skip or fix badblocks or on our diamond to have the internal memory working properly again. I have found an article regarding nand. I know that there is a samsung nand that is found in our device, if im not mistaken. I found an artice that says that there is 2 basic algorithm in our device the skip and reserve block method. My problem is how to do this on diamond or is this posible on our device.

http://www.data-io.com/pdf/NAND/DataIO/NandProgramming.pdf

Here's the link of the artice that I've found while searching for a solution. Please help is someone know how to do this.

I didnt think you could skip blocks on NAND

Have you tried linux > delete the full partition > create a new
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dreamtheater2003:

Anyone having issues with corrupted files on their 4 GB internal memory? Please help! I’ve tried to do info 8 on MTTY and it's not showing any bad blocks on my internal memory. I'm really lost on how to resolve this problem that I am experiencing. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] edefux:
mtty is for your nand (doesn´t fix bad blocks though as far as I know) ... if you have corrupted files on your internal storage; back all the stuff up and format fat 32 with hp formatting tool. that´s it.

"It all started when I loaded haret from xdandroid." - that is what started the problem ... hp tool is the key - you can find it in the xdandroid thread

cheers ede
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dreamtheater2003:
Tried almost everything.. My internal memory still is unsuable.. it can still be detected by my diamond and as a storage device. What I noticed is that pictures, videos and apps gets corrupted. Document files still can be viewed..

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The title mostly sums it up, I have a Nexus One and unlocked the bootloader to install CM 6.0. I tried Amon's RA recovery image but kept getting file corrupted errors from the .zip files even after verifying the md5 checksums. I was able to get past that problem thanks to Fubaya in another thread pointing out that there are recovery images that allow you to ignore the checksums.

I have now been able to load ROMs from .zip off the SD card, but no matter which one I try (eViL's Sense, CM6, Kang-O-Rama or stock) or how many times I try it, I can't get it to load past the 'X' with the padlock screen at boot. It will sit there for about a minute, then reboot into recovery. I have wiped everything on the phone multiple times but no luck. It just sits there until I pop the battery out. Any idea's what could cause this problem? The recovery image does not show any errors and looks like it flashes successfully
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakraider:
the file corruption errors are a bit troubling.. have you tried re-installing the recovery before proceeding? perhaps the flashing itself is not being done correctly.

often times being stuck at the X can be fixed by wiping the dalvik-cache from recovery, but your problem might be deeper than that.

try putting on amonRA's recovery again and see if that makes a difference.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
Uh yeah, you shouldn't be getting any checksum errors. Sounds like something isn't transferring correctly.

As I understand it as long as you have the recovery on there properly (you HAVE to install it correctly AND remove a few files if you're using the stock ROM otherwise it'll wind up at the stock recovery!) you'll "never" be able to brick your phone, with the exception of when flashing the radio apparently..

But flashing with corrupted files still doesn't seem like a great idea, so I'd figure out why this is happening. Can you pull the card out of the phone, put it in a card reader, and check the checksum with md5sum or whatever checksum the particular ROM used... md5 isn't very popular anymore, but it is fast and probably still used a lot for non-secure things, like verifying a transfer etc..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I've tried reflashing recovery multiple times and never seem to have a problem getting in there, either with Clockwork or with Amon. I also tried copying the .zip files back off of the SD card and re-checked the md5sum, it looks like the file is still unmodified so I have a hard time believing that it's corrupt. It does this with multiple SD cards as well, so I don't think its the card either.

I was able to get CM 6 to boot a couple times but the first time didn't seem to work right some error kept popping up that needed to be force closed over and over. So I reflashed and then was stuck in a boot loop with the CM logo. Since then, I have not been able to flash with anything.

Does this sound like some sort of hardware problem with the phone itself?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icon57:
what radio are you running
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
4.06.00.12_7. I had Froyo running on here previously, and like I mentioned above, it booted into CM6 once but never came back after a second reboot. I tested and was able to make a call when it was running.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
Flash the Recovery via ADB, not the SD card.

Do you still get checksum errors then?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I can't seem to get the phone to show up as an ADB device, I just get "device not found". After doing some reading, it looks like I did not enable USB debugging before flashing. Is there a way to enable this from recovery?

EDIT- Looks like the driver had uninstalled, I now have the driver back up and it shows up under ADB Device as being in recovery.

I copied the Kang-o-rama-1.0-Final.zip over via ADB and then tried to flash from SD Card from within Amon. It still shows E:Corrupt file: with a random file from within the zip as failing and then says verification failed.

Is it possible there is some sort of corruption elsewhere in the phone besides the SDCard that is causing these errors? It seems that whatever is causing the corrupt file errors (even though the .zip files pass the md5sum) is likely the root problem I am experiencing. Any ideas what else I could try to fix this?

Hello Everyone

I am planing to to buy HTC Aria this weekend

but someone told me that i will face limitations in it

like some apps and games will not work

and runs some apps and games slowly

have you faced this problem ? is that true ?

and

do it have anther problems ?

do you advice me to take it ?

please answer my questions quickly

and thank you​
[HTC Aria General] sluzi26:
The only limitations you will be facing with it are as follows:

You will never have Flash. Not Adobe's flash 10.1 anyway.

You might not be able to put Android 3.0 on it. That is purely speculative at this point, but it is rumored to require a 1ghz processor.

I've never had an issue with responsiveness or apps not working.

[HTC Aria General] BigJayDogg3:
I can second this. I have the captivate, my brother has the Aria. Sense is a better UI in my opinion, and the Aria feels like a more solid phone (maybe because its smaller?).

That said, I wouldnt trade my captivate for the aria. I like the much larger screen and the faster cpu/gpu. I also don't like the HTC keyboard (yes i know it can be changed).

By the same token, my brother likes certain things about my phone, but he wouldn't trade his phone for mine.

I also like the fact that the Aria has an optical trackball.
[HTC Aria General] eortizr:
*You will not be able to run any 3d game from Gameloft

*Most 3d intensive games will run slow/choppy or not run at all

*Google earth is not available for the Aria

If you like to play games on your phone (real games) you will be limited by Aria's Slow GPU and old ARMv6 CPU
[HTC Aria General] Sirfearoth:
You have fastboot with the Aria, and optical trackpad. I wish my captivate had fastboot. If you don't have to have the fastest thing out there than get a Aria. Also the Samsung UI software is total pile of crap.

BS. How's your GPS working OOB?

The captivate is better if you want a better multimedia device, otherwise, for day to day use the Aria is a better, more practical phone.

It's about requirements, preferences, and choice, and the comparisons making such generalized "better" statements are absolutely ridiculous.

[HTC Aria General] Cinderous:
Was going to add this myself, I wouldn't pay 230$ for either of the two phones when amazon is offering both of them for significantly less! (also paid 50$ for mine) I'd have to agree with Attn1 here, the Captivate is a better multimedia device but day to day use I wouldn't even think about trading in my Aria. Neither of them are completely dominant, it all depends on what you want/need.

I also have to disagree with the statement of not being able to play "real" games. If graphics were the only factor in quality of game, games wouldn't be anywhere near the complexity they are today, they would just look good. Further, I haven't found a game I couldn't play on it yet, although I don't doubt it would look much nicer and run smoother on a Captivate.

I also have to agree with the comments of the Captivate feeling "cheaper" by comparison. I've owned several Samsung phones over the years and in my honest opinion HTC simply puts together a better phone.
[HTC Aria General] eortizr:
that is because when you own an Aria you are limited by the games on the market that are only compatible with the Aria...

You can not run :

Real Soccer 2010

Asphalt 5

Need For Speed Shift

Assassin's Creed™ - Altaïr's Chronicles

Let's Golf!

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X

and no Full Flash Support.

I have the Aria and the Vibrant and I like them both, the Aria is the bes 'Mid-Range' phone available... and the Vibrant is the best Multimedia Phone available... it all depends on how much you want from your phone... I only paid $50.00 on amazon for the Vibrant and I'm getting a lot from it.

I can Play Mkv Movies... without conversion... something that I can not do on the Aria due to its GPU. I can throw any app or game I want on the Vibrant without asking my self.."will it run smooth"?

If you can get either phone for the same price... Vibrant is a better choice spec wise. If you only see movies on your phone occasionally and your definition of an action game is 'Papi jump' the Aria will do the job. and the Aria's speaker is crap.

And about the comment : "the aria would hold up 1000000000000000 x better than the samsung"

I have to say.. I broke my Arias's glass just a week after I got it, dropped from less than 2 feet... and the glass was shattered. So far the Vibrant have held pretty good and more than a couple of drops...

Some days I use the Aria, some days I use the Vibrant... but If I had to choose.... I'll stay with the phone with NO limitations...
[HTC Aria General] andoh:
I own both the Aria and the Samsung Captivate.

Yes my captivate blows through games, like FF7. Yes the captivate tends to run cool, it is not a big issue. I think most of prefer warm in our color schemes because of incandescent light bulbs. The tint is not as bad as you hear, and there are community projects that will balance it out to run hotter, more white.

As far as games on android go, there aren't any decent games. Unless you like playing old snes and playstation games.

I really miss the quality of HTC, the form factor, and the aesthetic design. Samsung knows how to make some mean silicone chips, but they make garbage cases. I hate the faux fiber panel and the overall cheap and highly breakable feel to the device.

I you want an Android smart phone to organize your life, and access the internet on the go, get the Aria, if you are into movies, games, etc, wait until the market matures in your area.
