what is so "private" about a timer showing only usage hours? theres no info there showing anything that should be considered private or dangerous... i think you just want to make the phone appear newer than it really is...

either way, only way to do it is to flash a new ROM

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
I know there are threads crying about needing more space yada, yada, etc... I have read a lot of threads, but none really give a simple solution. And go ahead and flame away.. But I have rooted my phone, it was a miracle that I accomplished this. At least when I was with WinMobile and the TP2 they has simple step by step instructions on how to unlock and flash a new rom. I have the android 2.1 and always having to uninstall an app to install another because of the STUPID space limitations and the fact that I cannot install programs on my 16gb microSDHC card is making it a real pain. I should have just traded it for a 1gb card. What good is all that space I can't use? Can someone (in between flames) please direct me to a step by step method to fix this problem? I found one for the 2.2, but not 2.1.

These are the only steps I know right now that can let me store all the apps I want on a SD card and have plenty of room.

1) Sell HTC Desire

2) Buy HTC Touch Pro 2

3) Install 16gb card from the sold Desire

4) Install all the programs I want.

Simple, but right now I am regretting having sold my TP2. I like the speed of the Desire, the .1 bigger screen, But hate the limited space. So to make this thread a understandable question, here it is:

1) Can someone give me step by step instructions to let me use my SD card to make more room?

2) And can it be done with no flames?

Tried this, For GSM phones only. Mine is CDMA. :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad-murdock:
for beginners, just move all apps to sd-card. go to settings, applications, select the app, select "move to sd card"

don't do that for widgets and live wallpapers, as they wont work anymore

for pro's: use apps2sd/a2sd and never run in storage space limitations again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
Don't have that option to "move to sd card" I think that came with 2.2, I have 2.1 on my Desire. :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Is there any reason why you still have 2.1? If you are rooted you can just flash a 2.2 rom with A2SD+, this will allow you to install the apps on your SD card.

In this thread you can chose a rom you like with A2SD+, instructions on flashing should be in the matching rom thread, just make sure that before flashing the rom, you have to partition your SD card with a ext3 partition.

To partition you SD card either use Rom Manager or Gparted (Linux software)

If you use Rom Manager you need the clockworkmod recovery image, this can be installed by using Unrevoked. Once you have the clockworkmod install, download Rom Manager from the market, in Rom Manager chose partition SD card and set ext to 512Mb and 0Mb for swap.

If this gives a /!\ in recovery you have to toggle signature verification(in recovery) under 'install zip from sd card' and try again.

Edit: don't forget partitioning your sd card will wipe everything on it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
Hmmm I checked out the CDMA Roms there and all have something that isn't working. MMS is broken on all 4, WiFi out on some, bluetooth on another.

I have Rom manager installed, used Unevoked3 on it already. So basically I guess I have to wait till USCC releases 2.2 (Suppose to by the end of this month), or someone comes out with a CDMA Rom that works 100%. :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaldean:
after you root use rom manager to partition your sd card, beware this will erase all your data and then install the open desire rom for us cdma i hope this helps,

iv tried alot roms, but open desire to is the best.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
I will try open desire. Hopefully I am doing this right. What is this about the radio? Do I have to change that too?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
Ok, but only 512mb? I have a 16gb card with plenty of room to spare. Or is 512Mb a fixed thing? 0mb for swap? Is this so the Desire automatically loads it somewhere else? Or is making it 0mb means it will expand if necessary?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
512mb is the max rom manager can do, i have a 1.5gb ext partiton, swap isnt needed as the desire has ample ram, also sd speed are to slow for it to be useable anyway
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
You can do as much as you like, but i think 512 is max via Rom Manager.

you don't need to flash a new radio (thanks heavymetalmage) and don't forget before flashing the new rom, do a nandroid backup from your current rom, either via Rom Manager or recovery
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavymetalmage:
CM6 is fully working on the Desire, including MMS. You can find it on forum.cyanogenmod.com and go to the CDMA Desire forum. This post has a lot of great info, especially on installing darktremor's app2sd: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...ellular-desire/page__view__findpost__p__74880

DO NOT flash any radios. There are no updated radios for the CDMA Desire right now. Make sure you do a Nandroid and back up your apps with Titanium Backup to make the transition the smoothest.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
I used the Rom manager to do the partitions like stated, but when I open explorer it doesn't look any different. Did I do something wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
No probably not, you can check with Quick System Info if it worked
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
Arrgggg now I can't copy anything to the drive, it may say I have 14gb free, but I don't have enough room!!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
It says 14.35GB free
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaldean:
exactly that means that your trick worked and some the memory card can only be used for storing apps which u cannot see unless u connect your computer to a linux machine or get root explorer
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
Found the problem and fixed it. Now I have 2 partitions, one 14gb the other 488mbs.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaldean:
and by the way even after all works out and you start saving your apps to the memory card, a small portion of the app is still going to be stored on the phone, but on the bright side i have 50+ apps installed and i still have 115 mb of internal memory left, before i rooted i had only about 20 mb left.

[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
tried it already :) but without reoriented kernel. I thought that if this has the voodoo lagfix it won't work with reoriented as that one is not patched for ext3/4 (if someone knows something else please tell me).

it was pretty fast and the theme is pretty nice.one of the nicest i've used.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
i agree.. i think with a new background it will look pretty nice.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
your right voodoo will not work with reorient. i didnt want to use the kernal that came with it because i didnt want it to cause any problems with buttons and recovery and all that. so with the reorient kernal everything works, can still get into recovery and download with regular button combo, but voodoo does not work yet until excaliberinhand puts it in his kernal
[Captivate Android Development] phlunkie:

[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:

They never seen to quirk right in hsupa.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
dont know since i dont use bluetooth at all. check the reorient kernal thread since that what you would be using. but i think this is the same kernal being used in dg's cog 8.1 and i think it said on his download page that this kernal does have some kind of problems with wired bluetooth controls.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
yes its the jpm modem which i have found to be the best out of all of them

i just checked and it has every gsm 850 900 dcs 1800 pcs 1900 wcdma 2100 1900 900 and wcdma 850 you have to dial *#2263# then select COMBI the put a check next to wcdma 850 then menu and back..this will enable the 1 band that is not by default all the rest are already enabled.

I'm pretty sure this is an issue with the reoriented kernel for the captivate. If you check excaliberinhand's thread I believe he knows this is an issue and it is on his fix list. I will keep this kernal version up to date with what he has available. Really all thanks should go to him for making it possible for us to flash these roms and darkyy for making this great rom-i just put 2 and 2 together.

[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
[Howto] : Install Darky's Raw Steel

Short guide of the installation with working links.

First return back to stock, root and install ROM manager.

Download the ROM from the following link and put it on the internal SDcard:

http://www.multiupload.com/6F6INLLZRC

Download xcaliburhand's reoriented kernel from here (ODIN version):

http://etc.muteheadlight.net/android/I9000_reoriented_v2.0.1.tar

Make sure you have your phone connected to the PC (can be connected after the ROM was installed as well but this is "more" secure). Install the ROM with RomManager and when the install completes do not reboot the phone but open ODIN and then open a command prompt and reboot the phone in download mode by typing adb reboot download (assuming that you have adb installed, if not, navigate to the place you have the android SDK and run it from tools, eg: C:\[place of sdk folder]\tools\adb.exe reboot download )

When the phone in Download mode load in ODIN 803 PIT and the reoriented kernel in the PDA slot.

Flash, it will reboot and you're done :)

I too was having an issue with the Modem on the Rom, Service would cycle through after flashing the Rom and wasn't stable.

Here's how to fix it:

Remove the external SD card (if you have one)

Perform a Factory Reset inside the Rom

Enable the 850 WCDMA band after the reset

Connection is fast and stable now.

Thanks for putting this together, very nice Rom.

GPS is GO! original vs captivate version

I first became aware of this rom through the captivate forum, but when the dropbox was overwhelmed and there was not yet an upload link, I checked out the original thread and downloaded the original european rom.

It loaded up and seemed to work alright except for a few things including a problem with screen orientation (would go landscape and get stuck) and no go with wired headset and low call volume. As far as HSUPA goes I didn't notice much of an increase in speed but I didn't really test to see what the difference was, ie just by casual observation I couldn't discern a noticeable difference.

The one difference I did notice however, was a very marked improvement in gps performance. Again, it was by way of casual observation and not rigorous testing, but I could most definitely see a huge improvement. With all other roms I've flashed (predominately cognition 2.2 betas and sre 2.1, gps performance was pretty consistently poor.

Going on the same route, I would have several occasions where the gps would lose my position and recalculate the course several times before returning to the actual position. Perhaps others have also experienced the gps "anticipating" or continuing to track in the same direction when the vehicle has come to a stop. And of course it would often take several minutes to start when first turned on.

With the original european rom, gps works. Simply put, it does what one would expect a gps device to do. No more anticipating, quick locks, and tracking true in real time. I was pleased to say the least:D.

If there is a way to isolate the firmware from the european rom (I'm not sure if it would be firmware or software or underwear, forgive my ignorance:o), I think this could be the holy grail for our gps dilemma. I could be barking up the wrong tree as I'm sure there are many out there who probably have a firmer grasp of the issue at hand and what is possible and what is not, but damn! It sho was nice to have a working gps on my cappy (I'm getting all emotional just thinking about it).

Tried the version in this thread but got the same results as other captivate roms in my experience. This rom doesn't have the screen orientation issue which is a big plus, but the wired headset issue and low call volume, as well as a not much of a difference in internet speed makes me hopeful for the new iterations which are sure to come. If those things get squared away, this could be the "one".

Many thanks to the developers and other that have contributed to this rom. I salute you!:D

Edit: Applied the fix in previous post (enabling wcdma 850 band) and internet speeds definitely increased. Saw one download reach 5000 kbps! upload up to 1360! I humbly change my opinion of the benefits of having HSUPA enabled.
