hi i have fastbooted and opened cmd and typed fastboot recovery with recovery.img and in cmd appeared sending 'recovery' and writing recovery they both said okay and then it said finished i used clockwork recovery but what do i do next please could you help
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] hani93:
what u want to do ?

when you turn phone off and hold both keys : HOME + POWER until the clockworkmod starts..suposed to start after lg logo.

(you can navigate in menu : up/down-volume buttons on left; and enter/back- green button and red button, or enter-camera button)

first thing what i have done is backup(and i highly recommend that.)

then i updated kernel with enabled overclock mod. and Quarx black rom.

it's your choise what u do next.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] hogofwar:
I finally got it to install (after some errors) and I Went into fastboot with home+power (yes i know it is not the right combo but it still worked) After i figured out you have to use a command prompt on the computer to use fastboot(which is not explicitly said in the instructions). After I finally got fastboot installed and flashed my phone, I also rebooted it using fastboot. I then shutdown my phone in the usual way (but it somehow restarted) after my 2nd attempt at shutting it down it finally stayed down.

I used home+power again and it succesfully used clockworkmod.

There was a problem though. Pressing the volume up did not make it scroll up, only scroll down actually worked.

Phone pick up did not do anything (supposed to select)

Phone hang up and home button just turned off the screen

Search enables going back (?)

It seems camera instead worked as selecting.

After selecting the right backup and installing (using vasquez rom)it did give me the sd-ext is mssing, skipping (but that is just the rom and it gave no probelm after that)

Just some info I found out while doing it :D
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] danny19901:
What is the best rom available for gt540 just i have blackquarx 2.1 is there any better ones and also what is over clock mod sorry daft question but i have flashed clock work recovery 2.5.0.5 swift to my phone but every time i do the boot with HOME+POWER clockwork doesn't show but when i flashed i got okay twice but never works with the HOME+POWER i have to use it through my computer i go in fastboot cmd type fastboot boot recovery.img it's only way i get clockwork to work
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] danny19901:

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] danny19901:
unplug cable from phone but leave in you'r computer or laptop and it should flash make sure you have russian fastboot rom for this to work and you need kdz_upd program to flash the russian fastboot rom once that has done you then do the cmd also make sure to have drivers installed
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] danny19901:

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Copro:
Is this the same ROM as mentioned in the notice above ?

And what does this fastboot mean - is it just meant to be flashed in fastboot mode after pressing some keys during boot - or will the mobile boot faster afterwards ?

I've tried that plugging in and out of different USB drives as suggested on MoDaCo.

What can I be doing wrong ?

I cant come in to fastboot

I press and hold camara+power

it shows LG loge

then i release, and its just keeps booting in to the android system.. no fastboot
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] keewanchoapsss:
You don't release. You hold home and camera until the screen goes black. Do not let go
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] EoinSheehy:
Hold CAMERA first then add POWER and keep holding.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] :
You need the Android SDK installed, and you need to flash this rom, then, and to get into fastboot, hold down the camera button while plugging in the usb cable

Hope it helps,

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] t-c:
A little advice on a couple of things, I've tried to install the recovery ROM twice(both times bricked the phone, lucky I've had it reflashed). It's factory 2.1update1 was rooted(via super1click), busybox installed 1.17.1 and Titanium running.

Started the flashtool, loaded the ROM and hit the update button.

First time the phone went into "download mode" flashtool said it had finished but the phone didn't auto reboot. Tried again and this time would only boot to the LG logo.

Second time, pretty much the same but didn't like the ROM. Changed it to 2.1_Fastboot but bricked again.

Is the partition table format particular to specific ROMs?

Mines;

cat /proc/mtd

Or are there steps that I should have taken before trying the recovery install?

Thanks in advance
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] t-c:
Thanks, definitely C more than likely D.

Is there a huge difference between the versions to cause it to fail?

Is there a recommended B that I should look for?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Destroyer-XDA:
Stick to 20A's. I haven't got any 20B's (or 20C's) working with clockwork. The Black system rom by quarx (20A) has been the best so far. I had to use the 'Clockwork recovery rom kdz' first then flash 2.5.1.8 recovery, then flash the Black system, then flash 2.5.1.8 recovery again to get it to work right.

Also using the Quarx kernel 0.3.1. Its working good and I finally have support for droidwall but this setup has shorter battery life than the latest vanilla AUS V20C. Of course, no droidwall with that rom, this could change if I could figure out how to get a new kernel into it. ;)

Link for clockwork rom & Black system.

http://android.modaco.com/content/l...om-full-insrtuctions-with-clockwork-recovery/

Btw, the reason for the failure with newer roms is because of the different recovery file system layout.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] t-c:
Just out of interest, trying to revert back to 20A from 20c or 20D is it going to present the same issue(s) as going to the clockworkmod ROM from 20c or 20D

Only ask because I don't think I've got to many more rebuilds from LG left.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Destroyer-XDA:
You could try going to another 20A straight off but it didn't work for me. I tried going to the Black system (20A) first but it wouldn't work and the phone button assignments were different from the tutorials. With the clockwork rom (20A), the buttons changed to the same as in the tutorials and revcovery finally worked, changed more than just the system. :D

I'm not sure how many times we can flash our gt540's before we get problems (bad sectors, etc) but I'm not worried too much. I'll be sticking to the Black system until 2.3 improves.

Cheers!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Destroyer-XDA:
Didn't know that but do now. ;)

Good tutorial btw. :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] t-c:
What I was trying to establish is if I currently have V20D and trying to flash the clockworkmod ROM failed because of partitioning issues will trying to flash to V20A or V20B have the same result(ie bricking the phone) because the earlier versions have different partitioning as well?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Destroyer-XDA:
The earlier V20A's have the compatible recovery file system so they should work, the only one that worked for me was the Clockwork_recovery_rom.kdz based on 20A, (a full rom, not just the recovery.img). There should be no 'bricking' at all. I don't think V20B's + are compatible with clockwork recovery, at least not with my phone.

Hey,

[Desire General] StuMcBill:
I am having a weird problem with my phone memory at the moment!

I am running CyanogenMod 6 (one of the nightlies from a couple of weeks ago) and it was running fine. I am also running DarkTremor Apps2SD with Dalvik Cache also on the SD Card.

All was fine this morning, my phone was running perfectly fine and reporting between 55-60Mb of free memory on the phone, then suddenly my phone started reporting that "Phone memory was low" and I only had 3Mb free memory on my phone?!

I have no idea why this has happened, I have formatted the Dalvik-Cache, and also checked how much space is free on my EXT partition (+/- 200Mb).

I am currently updating to the latest CM6 Nightly to see if that makes any difference, but I have no idea what to do otherwise?

I am running the standard partition table'd S-OFF HBOOT from AlphaRev.

Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this?

Stu
[Desire General] Hans Eilig:
I'm actually having the same problem with my Desire. It is rooted by unrevoked³ and running a Custom ROM, that's very similiar to the original HTC-ROM, but with additional A2SD+-Support, that worked perfectly just until now. (about 200 Apps in phone memory/ext2 with over 300MB)

But suddenly, it also says, the phone memory was low and i even can't get updates for my apps over the market.

I tried to enlarge the ext2-partition, but it didn't help. Still the same problem. Then i checked the free memory of the ext2-partition wthin gparted and it tells me, 400MB are free (Now it is about 700MB in total).

After this, i wiped the Dalvik Cache and the 'normal' Cache within my Clockwork Recovery Menu, but it didn't help.

Please help us. :)

Greetings,

Hans Eilig
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
I have managed to fix it, but only via a full factory wipe / reset.

I now have 40mb free. Not as much as I did, but not sure what I can do to increase it?

Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench
[Desire General] Hans Eilig:
Mh, i don't want to loose my apps and settings...

Does it make sense to restore a backup after wipeing? Not really, right?

And as you said, it didn't bring all the memory back.

The solution should be to have a bigger ext2-partition and therefore more memory available. But how do we enlarge that memory? Is ist even possible?
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
Well I restored my sd-ext partition afterwards so I got all my apps back. Not too sure how to go about increasing the available memory.

You could backup everything via titanium backup so you could at least restore your settings?

Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench
[Desire General] StuMcBill:
I think using the n1 partition table hboot would give you a bit more memory anyway however I have tried that previously and I couldn't get my phone to boot after flashing.

I had to go back to the standard hboot.

Copying Windows phone 7 UI?

I'm not sure if I necessarily agree with copying WP7 or even anything Microsoft and sure as a project I can see why you may want to do it but I think the aim is slightly misplaced.

The big issue in my opinion is that Android is just not a fantastic UI and UXP for users who aren't savvy just wont find the settings they are after which I think is a massive problem however if you do know where stuff is and how things work then Android is second to none!!!!!

If you are looking to embark on UI redesign then I suggest perhaps looking at some of the OS's deficiencies and possibly try and tackle some of them, I can guarantee you will get HEAPS more support!!!

PM me if you are interested, i'm a bit of a UXP hobbiest, would love to help.
[Nexus One Android Development] Talderon:
I agree, all of these MS bashers just because it's Microsoft make me dizzy. Yeah, still an android, there is NO WAY anyone can say it's perfect. If there is a "better" UI that is available, then why not try it. If you don't like it, then don't use it. Easy enough, but let those that are interested try something with it and see how it goes.

I would like to try something like this, but not with this crowd. I love XDA, XDA has given a LOT to me and I have done what I can to give back in anyway I can, but some of the people here are just too... Well... I'll leave it there...

No.

This is the 300th thread I've seen asking if we can port an app or part/all of the OS from WinMo or WinPhone to Android. The answer is, you can't. Period. The code is completely incompatible. Not just the binary, the actual source. It's written in a totally different language. And it's closed source. It's like asking if we can 'port' a book written in German to English, without being able to open it. You'd have to rewrite it from scratch. Something it took Microsoft years and millions of dollars to do. So no, a bunch of technophiles are not going to do it in their spare time.

It seems that you guys who say it's impossible to port, didn't even tried to read the first post to understand what I'm going to do
