[Desire HD Accessories] MaybachMan:
OK, thanks :)

One more question: is there a way to encrypt the contents of the card?
[Desire HD Accessories] MacaronyMax:
Not that I know off and still be able to use with the phone :Dvi think with htc's new thing you can wipe it remotkey also if it gets stolen
[Desire HD Accessories] MaybachMan:
How about encrypting the phone itself then? That's where all my emails etc will be anyway, presumably.

Does the remote wipe include the microSD though? I'm not sure if HTC has confirmed it does.
[Desire HD Accessories] HTCinToronto:
I believe the D'HD should have enough phone RAM that you can keep sensitive material like emails off the SD. In which remote wipe should be sufficiently safe. The current weakness though is that the unit will not self format after say ten failed screen lock attempts. A thief can literally sit there tapping away until entry. Surprised such a feature hasn't creeped into the ROMs yet.
[Desire HD Accessories] MaybachMan:
I'm planning to flash some unofficial ROMs to it anyway (that's where the fun is in an OS like Android anyway :D), so d'ya think such a feature can be implemented in one of those?

And do you ever think that Android will get "on-the-fly" content encryption like iPhones and BlackBerries?
[Desire HD Accessories] wywywywy:
If you don't use Apps2SD there is shouldn't be any need for faster than class 4 I think.

Watching p0rn generally doesn't need much speed.
[Desire HD Accessories] MaybachMan:
I was thinking more along the lines of recording the video, I remember reading somewhere that to record 720p at a decent frame rate you needed a high class.
[Desire HD Accessories] onesolo:
If HTC do it right, with the help of a intermediate buffer, into RAM or even internal memory disk and after writing to the sdcard, there's no need for a class 4 or 6 card. A class 2 will suffice

We are talking almost of a computer not a digital camera or a digital recorder that usually don't have this amount of RAM or internal memory
[Desire HD Accessories] Beards:
Correct...

I have been saying this in other topics.

The later phones with large storage areas write their camera data first to the internal memory.

As such you can happily get away with a Class 2.

It's only when you are transfering data between the phone & a PC over USB where you will notice any speed differences.
[Desire HD Accessories] MaybachMan:
OK, thanks :)

I also found out that there's an Android app called MyStash which will encrypt individual files, could come in handy. I'd still prefer on-the-fly encryption, but hey.
[Desire HD Accessories] adwinp:
The DHD has enough horsepower to run on-the-fly encryption.

You can achieve this quite easily:

What you need to do, is basically build static copies of lvm, device-mapper and cryptsetup.

Add vgchange -ay, and cryptsetup luksOpen to initrd just before mount.

An easy way to realise key reading is to save your key on your microsd card (this of course implies that your sdcard is mounted earlier), and make cryptsetup read from it:

cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/your_vol/your_lab some_id < /mnt/sdcard/my_key.txt

it only makes sense to encrypt /data/data, /data/misc and /data/system, of course.

You can always encrypt the whole /data if you want.

The only problem would be to fit the static binaries into your initrd (you can build some of them with busybox and integrate it).

That's it.

I have been thinking about encrypted aufs for a while, but since my only device is the "old" Hero, I couldn't bring that plan to execution yet.
[Desire HD Accessories] BigMango:
But then, I have seen several threads with people complaining about the low 720p video recording fps they had with their Desire. Replacing the SD card for a faster one improved their fps.

A faster SD card was the difference between bad 720p video performance and acceptable performance.
[Desire HD Accessories] Beards:
The reason they would complain is because the Desire has very little internal storage for buffering compared to the likes of the DHD & Galaxy S.

On these devices it does not matter what class rating you use.... the video file is first written to internal memory storage before being transferred to microsd.
[Desire HD Accessories] BigMango:
Are you sure? As far as I know, the Desire should have more ram with 576Mb, and the Galaxy S 512Mb. (DHD of course has 768Mb).

The Galaxy also has a 8Gb / 16Gb internal SD card. But here we would again be comparing SD card speeds...
[Desire HD Accessories] Smartmob:
Go for class4 too be sure and ready for perfect recording then ;)
[Desire HD Accessories] Beards:
We've already crossed swords in another topic mate.... I don't have the strength to start another here.... :)
[Desire HD Accessories] BigMango:
There's no crossing of swords at all buddy. Just some nice sharing of different points of views and experiences; for our own benefits of us all :)
[Desire HD Accessories] Smartmob:
Whatever the truth is...i'll buy class4 and everybody happy :D
[Desire HD Accessories] stiefa00:
What about Transcend? A good or bad manufractor ?! =)

I'll buy a Transcend 32GB Hi-Speed SDHC card class 6 if Transcend is okay.
[Desire HD Accessories] Beards:
If you bought a 32GB Transcend SD Card you would have a hell of a problem fitting it in the memory slot on the phone. :D
[Desire HD Accessories] vovanopulo:
IMO Transcend is second only to SanDisk

For example - I bought 4 SanDisk cards (each is 16GB) of class 2 and tested it yesterday: common write speed is 5 MBytes per second. If you'll buy Transcend class 2 - it would be great if it's 3MBytes/sec.

SanDisk offers more reserve and costs more. Transcend gives less reserve but anyway it delivers what it promises.

BTW - what for do you want a class 6 =) ?
[Desire HD Accessories] stiefa00:
porn! just kidding. Ehm yeah well... I'm looking forward to do a lot of video recording (PORN!!!! just kidding again :D) so I want to be sure to have a fast card. Desire users wrote in a couple of forums about more fps if there is a faster sd card.

You don't think a class 6 card will be necessary?

/e: And thanks for feedback!
[Desire HD Accessories] jkoljo:
My Class 4 8gb SanDisk microSDHC card actually writes about 10 mb/s, so I would definitely recommend one!

[Desire HD Accessories] neigo:
but the sample video's do have nearly 1mb/s rate ...

a 60 seconds sample video does have 60mb

so i would say that a class 2 card will be enought?!
[Desire HD Accessories] vovanopulo:
Different manufacturers make different reserves for write speed as I've said before. But they all guarantee minimum write speed noted by the class. So you can pick SanDisk 4 or Transcend/Kingston 6. IMO it'd be enough.

p.s. I really hope my SanDisk 16G/c2 will be enough - but I cannot say for sure until I possess DHD at last =)
[Desire HD Accessories] stiefa00:
yeah cool infos, thx m8!

Ok, then I'm going to order a 32gb scandisk class 4!
[Desire HD Accessories] eboni:
I have not seen this one for sale anywhere, have you got a link?
[Desire HD Accessories] vovanopulo:
please don't get fooled by ebay - always check if manufacturer realy makes this card =) . Guys from China can sell you SanDisk 64GB class16 for $2.99 :-D
[Desire HD Accessories] LeviathanPT:
I have 8GB Transcend MicroSD HC Class 6 waiting for this phone, had it before on my Storm and believe me, it made a big diference :| Boot up of 1:32min instead of 2:40 :eek: yes i know... why did i ever bought a Blackberry...
[Desire HD Accessories] stiefa00:
I'm new to android, but I'm sure the OS is located on the system-memory, not on the expandable one. :confused:
[Desire HD Accessories] ergath:
Presumably the Storm catalogues the contents of the SD card or initialises some applications during boot?

I've also ordered a 8GB Transcend MicroSD HC Class 6 - it might be excessive speed but it wasn't expensive. Depending on whether I end up using the video camera I may have to get a 16GB card as well/instead, or just use the Class 2 8GB card from my Blackstone as a spare (assuming the recording-to-RAM thing overcomes the speed limitation).
[Desire HD Accessories] MaybachMan:
Doing a fresh boot on a BlackBerry is never pretty.
[Desire HD Accessories] MarkieSA:
That made me lol
[Desire HD Accessories] apprentice:
Transcend cards have been good for me and I use a class 6 card. Speed is very noticeable when transferring files to and from PC. The Samsung card class2 that came with DHD failed. I am not sure if I am entitled to a replacement.

8gb is definitely enough space for me, but if you have a big mp3 collection then maybe you need more.
[Desire HD Accessories] madindehead:
I have a SanDisk 16GB Class 2 card, and it seemed to record video fine when I made a little test.
[Desire HD Accessories] Smartmob:
Here in EastEurope Kingstone 16gb class4 mobility kit is 55€ in store. I'll go with that when i bought the phone. :)

[Desire HD Accessories] jkoljo:
I think I will buy this one: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.44517

It is a 16 GB Class 6 card, and it seems to be "genuine";

Test finished without errors.

Write Speed Average: 9.12 MB/s

Read Speed Average: 18.9 MB/s
[Desire HD Accessories] Lunatictz:
ive also researched abit about micosd's and correct me if im wrong, the classes only affect the writing speed and not the reading speed? so why get a high class? is it because you just want to transfer files faster?( not meant to offend im seriously asking because im actually considering what sd's to get).You can get a 16gb class 6+ and you can almost get a 32gb class 2... sooo yeah.
[Desire HD Accessories] jkoljo:
Yeah but of course the card is faster overall if write speed becomes faster.
[Desire HD Accessories] Beards:
Whatever you do, DO NOT purchase your cards from Moby Memory.

I purchased one of their 32GB Sandisk MicroSD Cards and paid by PayPal.

PayPal took the money immediately but Moby Memory never sent any confirmation that they had processed the order.

I then sent them email after email which they failed to reply to.

I then sent them a message informing them unless they replied and sorted it I would contact PayPay to raise a dispute & post a review on TrustPilot.com

They then replied and gave me a processed number which took them a week to release.

The order form said it went First Class but not recorded despite paying for it.

Guess what... It never came and now they are back to their usual routine in not bothering to reply to my email messages.
[Desire HD Accessories] broncogr:
I ordered The Kingston 16Gb class 10.

I will let you know when I try it
[Desire HD Accessories] jkoljo:

Faster is better

The card that comes with the DHD is a Samsung 8Gb class 2.

However this card failed - likely just a faulty card but it didn't give me much confidence.

I swapped it for a Transcend 8gb class 6 card I had kicking about which works flawlessly but I had already ordered another card from Amazon in anticipation of my phone arriving, which is a Class 10 Kingmax 8Gb card.

Now I know what you're thinking but I bought a class 10 to make it easier to transfer files to and from the PC. When I back up the new card it does take considerably less time to transfer the data to my laptop with the new card.

I believe a class 2 is just too minimum spec for this device and bearing in mind card prices are cheap now I would simply recommend the fastest card for your budget, if only for the reasons I have stated.
[Desire HD Accessories] Mujja:
Is this with the card in a reader or with the card inside the phone via USB cable?

The bundled class 2 card only write at 2MB/s when in the phone but around 4.5MB/s when in a card reader. A higher class card will only be worth it if you remove the card from the phone to copy files. And how will that affect the phone, should you always unmount the card first?

If the DHD is anything like previous HTC WinMo devices the internal card transfer speed from RAM were poor. Putting a anything above class 2 made no difference to perfomance. So users hoping it would improve their video recording or speed up photo taking may see no improvement.

Perhaps someone who has more than one card with different classes benchmark the cards when inside the phone if an Andriod app exists.
[Desire HD Accessories] apprentice:
What I tend to do is remove the card and stick it in a card reader on my laptop. I can then back the full card up once a month and also occasionally transfer music/pics to the card. It makes the whole process pretty quick.

It must be said though I do notice a difference in speed when transferring using a USB cable (ie the phone is a mass storage device) so it's still worth investing in a faster card, particularly as they are cheap enough for 8Gb cards which are probably ample for most users.
[Desire HD Accessories] riz157:
I'm thinking about getting dane elec 16gb or kingston 16gb card which would you recommend both are class 4?

Waiting

I'll be waiting on your review. I'm trying to figure out if I should get a 16gb class 10 or a 32gb class 6, they are both more or less the same price.

When do you expect to receive your memory card?

Thanks!

[Touch HD General] Bunnybugs_007:
well, after trying about every version of XDAndroid, I'm pretty desperate!

All the messages from the search are over an year old, and don't really tell anything. Is there any cooked rom that contains android? Or, is there someone who managed to dual-boot wm and android?

The problem I have with my Blackstone and XDAndroid is the cpu-temperature and batterylife. It keeps draining my battery!
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Have you tried the android section within the Blackstone forums here?

MOD EDIT - Thread moved to android section
[Touch HD General] Bunnybugs_007:
Yeah, been there, done that. But even there, most of the posts are dated 2009! I mean, that's a year ago. And thats a long time if we're talking computerstuff!

:confused:

:eek:

:rolleyes:
[Touch HD General] Bunnybugs_007:
I've tried every option there is to use android on my blackstone, but... The XDandroid port is a batterydrain, and that makes it unusable for me at daily use. The source of the batterydrain is that HaReT is the basic app to run XDandroid, and the system uses full cpu and memory, because it can't adapt to the needed usage;)

My question is: Is there a fully cooked Android rom, so I can install it as a clean ROM. Just because a cooked ROM has the stuff that prevents a battery drain in a certain way;)
[Touch HD General] mitikos:
You have no idea what you are talking about...

Anyway there's not a cooked Android rom for blackstone yet.

The battery problem is not related on haret; is almost fixed with camro's last kernel and modules, so i presume next "official" xandroid will have this improvements and no more battery problems, we just need camera working and a couple of other stuff THEN we will begin to think about a cooked rom.

Enjoy
[Touch HD General] Bunnybugs_007:
Well, had my camera working and stuff;) but, the latest kernel doesn't solve the batterydrain;)could it be that I cooked my own ROM? Because,if so, I'll flash a new one on it;)
[Touch HD General] Bas27:
You made a Dutch cooked android rom?:eek: Would you upload it?:rolleyes:

Je zou me erg blij maken!!!:D
[Touch HD General] cribuj:
Camera working ?

Are you serious ? You 'had' camera working on blackstone android ? How come ? Would you share the experience with us ?
[Touch HD General] Bunnybugs_007:
Uhm, no android ROM, just an home cooked WinMo ROM, wich is btw in english, because my phone is like te ***** of my clients;)

Well, it just worked;) That's all... Didn't do any fancy stuff... The only thing I did was changing the startup.txt with the right screensizes and stuff;) but, no weird changes...

Somewhere on the forum, there's a list to write your own startup.txt... that's what I did;)
[Touch HD General] Bunnybugs_007:
BTW mitikos, that's why the thread starts with a tag '[Q]'!

And, there are no stupid questions... just stupid answers...

And the part that I know of, is the linux part... Just because I've been using different Linux-distributions on a testing scale;)

That made the concern about HaReT...

RTFM!
[Touch HD General] touchhd85:
Hi!! This is fantastic!!!!could you share with us your startup.txt and tell us what kernel, modules and rootfs are you using...i think this will make everyone of us very very happy:D:D:D
[Touch HD General] Bunnybugs_007:
Uhm, eh, oops... but I lost my Micro-SD card:$ I had two different ones... One with tomtom on it... and the one with XDAndroid... And I lost the android one... I'll search my PC for it, or else, I'll write a new one... It was death simple the first time;)

BTW, had different kernels and versions with the same STARTUP.txt...

So, the kernel ain't the problem
[Touch HD General] mitikos:
If u were using the search botton u were finding the answer to your question, and btw i answered u.

Sorry if i sounded offensive or else...

If u have competence on linux pls share what u descovered
[Touch HD General] Bunnybugs_007:
Well, I've noticed that there is a bit confusion about the soft and hard keys...

Also, the WiFi is trouble, but it doesn't work on WinMo either...

But guys, I'm heading out for work! I'll keep on testing, and let you hear all about it...

BTW, a huge problem is the CPU-temperature... Sometimes when I wanna perform a hard reset, I burn my fingers;)
[Touch HD General] bethybabes69:
LMAO, am I glad I read this thread . . . NOT!

phhh
[Touch HD General] PasSlert:
And what about the CPU frequency ? I had the same problem on my Touch Pro and it was because overclock was enabled by default... may be you should just edit your startup.txt to underclock your Qualcomm.

I am developing an application for android based cell phone from emulator. The application i am developing requires ad hoc network. I do not own the phone or can't get it from anywhere else. So I want to create and establish ad hoc network in that emulator only. I am using standard ADK 2.2. I read somewhere that the information and settings of networks are read through a file called tiwlan.ini. Is this file available even for emulator? If it is, where is it located inside it? If its not, can i copy the file available on internet and put it somewhere inside my emulator and change system path to read network information to that file's path?

Look here in the ROM-area and read the threads.

If you want a stable ROM, take the stock-ROM of your provider.

For low memory consumption take a WM 6.1-ROM.

This custom-ROM is a good compromise:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=521941

I use it now for a while, and I have only one issue I have to clear why it happens.

And at least it is a matter of taste what ROM you prefer.
