[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
With the A2SD built into FroYo you can only move the app (not the app data) if it's enabled by the app developer. With A2SD+ that you get with custom ROMs it basically makes the ROM the partition on your SD card is on the phone so it stores all data to it, thus saving the internal space. If you're going to want to use apps such as Google Earth and games it's a must really.

Here's what I did (I go between stock and custom a lot):

1. Download the AmonRA IMG file from the thread I linked to on my last post

2. Fire up unrEVOked and click on 'File>Custom Recovery' and select the IMG file you downloaded

3. Use unrEVOked as normal

4. Once done, turn your Desire off, remove the SD card and connect it to your PC so you can back up the data on it

5. Put the SD card back in and boot into HBOOT (hold volume down when turning it on)

6. Select 'Recovery' - you should now be in the AmonRA recovery

7. Select 'Partition sdcard' from the menu and set it how you want it. I used:

SWAP: 0MB

EXT2:1024MB (1GB)

FAT32:Remainder

8. Once finished, select convert EXT2 to EXT3 and let it finish

9. Now, power down and remove the SD card again and put it back in your PC. You can now restore your data and also copy the ZIP file of the ROM you wish to use.

10. Boot back into the AmonRA recovery and select 'Flash zip from sdcard'

11. Select the option to choose which ZIP you want to use

12. Select the custom ROM ZIP of your choice

13. Allow it to install

14. Reboot once done

That should get you with a custom ROM and a 1GB partition to install your apps
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killa_byte:
thanks for the instructions eddy :)

currently following it and on step 3, i have been on this step around 30 mins now and all Unrevoked says is 'Waiting for root...(safe to restart if this doesn't work)'

my phone has frozen and its on the boot screen, is it safe for me to pull out the battery and restart the phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
Aye cheers for helping us noobs Eddy, i know from experience it can be painful trying to explain things over and over. :)

It's greatly appreciated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Mine sat at that point for a few minutes but not 30!! I'd say start again
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] church473:
two questions-

1. I have rooted using unrevoked and flashed clockwork mod. to get amonra do i just re-run unrevoked with amonra instead? or can i use rom manager?

2. if i need to make a gold card, do i make the gold card after creating the partitions?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
1. You can do either, I've never like ROM Manager so when I re-rooted from stock I changed to AmonRA

2. You can make it whenever, don't think it matters (but might wanna wait for confirmation)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killa_byte:
just tried 3 times again and it doesn't do it. it tells me to restart and try again
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Then I've no idea, worked fine for me - unless you've not got all drivers correctly installed...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killa_byte:
driver are correct when checked via device manager...

Unrevoked goes through the setup and then just hangs on the part 'Waiting for root...(safe to restart if this doesn't work)' for around 20 mins and then it says

'We didn't get root. This happens sometimes. Please restart and try again'

could this be because i've already got a custom rom installed (leedroid 2.1)??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Probably, go back to stock and re-root OR just get ROM Manager from the Market and use that to partition your card (only does max. 512MB)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killa_byte:
yeh, from the research i gathered ROM manager partitions only upto 512mb, i want at least 1/2GB...

looks like i have to go back to stock, is it as easy as download the stock ROM, transfer to desire, hboot and recovery, clear data/factory setting and then flash from sd using clockwork mod?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
Okay, so I've booted up unrEVOked, gone to file/Custom Recovery, and chosen 'recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5' UnrEVOked now reads, 'Recovery image : custom'. I now plug in my Desire and the recovery reflash takes over, rebooting the Desire.

The screen now reads: HBOOT USB PLUG at the top, and I have the usual four options. If I choose recovery first it just goes into ClockworkMod. Going to Fastboot> Bootloader just gets me a communications interrupted error from unrEVOked.

I am very confused, I thought I understood how it all worked. = / Where am I going wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
It's a LOT easier than that my friend!!!

1. First, get the ROM that your Desire came with from here:

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe

2. Connect your Desire to your PC and connect it with HTC Sync. If you're not using a Sense-based ROM, boot into FASTBOOT (hold the back button when turning on) and once connected and saying 'FASTBOOT USB' run the RUU file you downloaded.

3. Wait for it to complete
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killa_byte:
after a few days of headache trying to understand all this i have gone back to the original ROM and decided not to go any futher...its way to complicated and too much information out there which is contridicting itself, i'd rather buy a phone that has more internal memory then go through all this...only one last question

all my contact number have dashs in the number e.g. 078-124-7894 etc.

can these dashs be removed? as when someone texts or rings me now the number isn't recognoised
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grun:
To start with your last question: MoreLocale 2 can do that for you. It's a free app which you can find in the Market. Only need to remove the last digit of a number and the dashes will disappear, then re-enter the last digit. But you may want to check (within MoreLocale) if your country is correct first.

Hate you see you leave this thread, you're allmost there, aren't you? You managed to root your phone allready and even installed a custom rom, that's the hardest part, I guess.

Myself, I'm totally new to all this. Bought myself a Desire last week, and struggled with the same questions which brought you here. Today I rooted my phone for the very first time. I used a Linux live cd and unrevoked3, which was a piece of cake actually. Tomorrow I like to explore the AmonRa and unrevoked threads a little bit more and maybe be the end of the week I might have enough courage to flash my first custom rom. ;-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzmay:
hello was wondering how you do step 4 and 9?

For backing up do I just zip all the info I have in my sd card and then to restore I flash it or how do I do it?

Another doubt I have is this one when I rooted my phone I got in Froyo an OTA update for the russian keyboard and some fixes with gmail. Then I was able to apply this update by rebooting into recovery, apply zip from sd card, toggle signature verification so its off, the update zip is downloaded to your sd cards download folder. Apply it. Then use unrevoked to root your phone again.

Will I be able to do this with Amonra??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killa_byte:
thanks, yeh i so very close but partitioning was the biggest headache...rooting and install ROM was simple thanks to eddy's help, but partitioning was a no-no... i've been researching for around 2 weeks and only had the last 4 days off to try and get this done, i wont have no more time as i work 7 days a week lol...i will probably look back into it around xmas or something

i looked into MoreLocale 2 but i dont understand how to use it...it only have me an option of choosing a langaue and thats it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grun:
To avoid problems with drivers I used a linux live cd for rooting my desire. That was a piece of cake, allthough I connected the cable too soon, so when unrevoked discovered the phone it immediately started with the default clockworkmod recovery. So I had to repeat the process, but the second time I first choose the Amon Ra recovery file to flash and only then connected the cable. That's how I learned and I won't make the same mistake again.

In Amon Ra, partitioning is just an option in the menu, so you shouldn't have any difficulties anymore. I chose swap=0, ext2=512Mb and the rest fat32. After that, convert ext2 to ext3 and you're done.

I know that Morelocale can do the trick, because I have advised it to several other people and they were satisfied. Unfortunately, I don't know the program myself. All I know that you should set the country to UK. The dashes which are now there in your numbers indicate that for some reason the phone thinks it is in the USA.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzmay:
If you want to partition your sd card easy and fast just download the premium version of RomManager. Selct to flash clockworld, then select partion sd card, put your options recommend ones are 512 mb external and 0 mb swap. Click to do and you will have it done.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmb0x:
Ok here is my situation. At work something is messing with 'normal' USB tethering apps. I've tried PDANet and EasyTether. Both drop connection very very frequently (every 10 minutes or less).

What I did with my last phone was install an SSH daemon and then use that as an SSH tunnel/SOCKS proxy. Works perfect.

I bought QuickSSHd and that works fine. However the stock HTC 2.2 doesn't allow me to put the phone in 'tether' mode without paying Spring $30 a month.

So logically next step is to Root it and try some ROM's. I've tried a few and the only one that seems to let me use Android's default/built-in USB tethering is CM6. It's a great ROM but I like the feel of the HTC Sense UI.

So is there anyway to hack HTC's USB Tethering so I can use it? or does anyone know of a work around or even another ROM I could try? Im bashing my head against the wall here, so any help is much appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v_lestat:
if you looks thru the apps and themes section look for caulk's usb tether fix. it is a hack you flash from recovery mode that lets the stock usb tether mode work. and it does work...

pretty sure you have to be on stock 2.2 or 2.2 sense rom as i have never tried it on anything else.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmb0x:
That worked perfectly! Thank you!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mutha:
I was wondering if anyone elase was having an issue with all of their apps and icons being removed.

I have been running Android now for about a week and my device switched off during the night due to the battery running out.

I have rebooted several times but everyting has gone off all the screens.

I can still see them from the apps page though.:confused:

Cheers.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
Never had that problem but I've read that you never should run your mobile out of battery under Android. It could corrupt your data.img and your problem just sounds like that happend to you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mutha:
That's a bit dodgy, especially when the battery drains soo fast.

I fully charged it before I went to bed, (Bearing in mind I did have an animated wallpaper set for the first time).

Do you know if there is a backup copy of the data.img stored automatically somewhere in case of this happening ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
Yes I know. How long does your battery last then?

No there isn't. In a normal Android device the data.img isn't a file itself, it's the internal storage of your phone. There's no possibility to backup (just no easy way ;)). But if you want to backup the content of this file try this thing:

Titanium Backup

It backups everything in this image and saves it on your SD in a folder. If your build crashes just start over and restore everything.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mutha:
Well at least I am now familiar with Android so it wont take me so long to set it up again.

My battery has been draining pretty quickly, too early to say exactly as I have been doing a lot of messing about. I know that animated screens, even when the screen is blank seems to be a big overhead as well as Bluetooth.

I just looked in my Android folder and can see the data.img file. I am assuming I can manually back ip up.

I will give Titanium a go sounds a bit like SPB Backup, which is great.

Cheers for your help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
Which build do you use? There are some things you might try to get down the drain a little.

I tried SPB too but I like Titanium better :D

NP :)

Hi there i have an hd2 with custom roms. Is there any way to install android instead of the windows? I would rather use android instead of booting android everytime i reboot my phone. Please advise. Thank you.
[HD2 General] RiffyDivine:
No, not yet. Right now you can only store it on the SD card and run it like that, there is talk of a rom coming at some point but right now you will just have to use it as is. Best you can do is install an auto booter so when it resets it does a short count down and then loads android for you.
[HD2 General] toves75:
Thanks for the heads up. Im loving my new hd2....

Hello.

I have an strange problem with my O2 XDA Comet.

After sending an SMS to me the most SMS will be received and signalised.

But some SMS won't be signalised and won't appear in inbox till soft-reset.

After soft-reset I can find this SMS in inbox saved at SIM-Card.

Normally SMS will be saved at device.

This problem happened with original O2-Firmware (WM6) and with PDAViets WM6.1-Firmware (Build 20931.1.5.0)...

Does anyone else have the same problem and found a solution?

I have installed IPSMS 0.7.3.

Can this be the problem?

Hi all

I have the XXJPK Froyo installed (it was like this when i bought it from a second hand shop) and i wondered how i will upgrate to stock 2.2 when it comes out?

Will kies recognise a newer FW and let me update through that or will i have to do some fancy flashing with Odin?

I would much rather do it with Kies...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exadeci:
How could we know ? ;)

I'll do it with odin because I want a clean install
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adevem:
i believe kies will recongize your firmware and upgrade it to official froyo if you're running an official rom in the first place. jm1 or something. if i want an upgrade through kies i'd flash back to stock firmware.

but i hate that piece of **** software so i'm gonna odin mine ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
yes via Kies is the official method

similar to the Blackberry and Blackberry desktop software

Android on HD2 Energy Rom not working.

Whatsup buds. I'm a tech guy just like yourself and I am putting android on the HD2. I flashed with HSPL3 and I wasn't able to get it to work as it was on the Energy Rom. I have the two files on the phone, the HSRAC and the other one when I load the first one, nothing happens, as it should as it fixes the robotic voice, but the other one brings the phone to the white screen with the Android guy... but it stays on that, have you had similar problems doing this with Energy Rom?

I treid this solution but it doesn't work completely. My phone freezes when I make calls. I must initialize or plug in to use it again.

To use it again, I must plug in, restart or waiting for a call (??).
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
I look through this board at least once a day, and every day there are at least two new threads about Froyo.

It's as if we haven't changed in millennia and we're dancing about, shaking our fists at the sky, burning animal carcasses and trying to read tea leaves.

But it really is like us/we versus the gods or we/us versus physics.

Physics makes us all its *****es.

Froyo is coming out but THERE IS NO OFFICIAL WORD ABOUT WHEN, and there is LITERALLY NOTHING we can do to change that or to speed up the Froyo release.

We can moan and beg, pray and agitate, go postal, fake prognosticate, mine the internets for propitious signs, but there is no escaping the conclusion that Froyo, like the rain, will come when it's ready.

It's beyond our control.

We can't sign a petition or file a lawsuit that will make Froyo come out faster

(which is really all that any of us want)

It's probably not even under Samsung's or T-Mobile's control right now.

It's just a team of people in various places around the globe trying to put this together.

You can't throw more money at them to make it go faster.

You can't threaten them into making time go faster.

It's just... going to come out when it's ready.

Hi guys,

do you know wich from bluetooth and WiFi drains less battery on Wildfire?

I'm looking to a way in order to transfer my files from pc to the SD of my Wildfire and vice versa using no cable and keeping the connection always on when I'm in office or at home...
[Wildfire General] Wizard2004:
But the other part of the equation is.... Which one is faster ?

Fast at a higher battery drain could use less than slower with lower

Lol :p

As both methods consume a lot of battery I would go for the one that's the fastest, but whilst you say that you don't want to use 'any' cables, can you not plug your phone into the charger.

If you can put your phone on charge then it wont matter which method you use.
[Wildfire General] tigger69:
Use dropbox, can transfer stuff from pc to phone without using the usb cable. Uses wifi or mobile data, you can put something on your phone and access it when you get home on your pc.
[Wildfire General] Markino:
dropboc can be used with bluetooth too?

I just realiza that in office I have to use bluetooth instead of WiFi for some reasons...
[Wildfire General] tigger69:
I dont think it uses bluetooth, i use it over wifi or mobile net, its not too bad and is a very useful app. You get 2gb of storage online for free.
[Wildfire General] bluedragon1982:
My girls Wildfire (unrooted): wifi + bluetooth + 3g + 90% standby = 3-4 days

My wildfire (rooted): wifi + bluetooth + 3g + internet + about 25% standby = 1-2 days

This is much better as my g1 by same use = 6-10 hours (with a new original battery running cm6)

Is it a Samsung Captivate with a new OS?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
Hope so, because that'd mean there's a humminbird/SGX540 in it with a 4in Super Amoled screen, but the person who leaked the vid says it's a 3.7in screen. And like most people are saying here, it will most likely have the Snapdragon processor.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Paolo01:
Hmmm...the US (att) Samsung Captivate has some pretty troubling issues on the reliability front. Granted it has a WM OS, however, most of the issues seem to be hardware related.

I am pretty underwhelmed by the three rumored handsets set to be announced in a few days. I'll end up purchasing one of them, simply to support the OS, but all of them look pretty ho hum. I really though that Microsoft was going to come out swinging this time around. Apparently not. The OS looks slick, though incomplete, and the hardware looks minimal instead of trend setting. Bottom line is that an WP7 handset announced next week will be eclipsed in technology by holiday sales period. That is pretty sad.
