hi

well i finally got round to flashing a new rom

went for the leedroid in the end with A2SD+

I had a few issues but read up and worked around them although i read about a gold card but never created one so i hope i'm not setting myself up for a fall without it.

anyhow i'm glad i did it with loads of apps installed i still have 85mb free and nowhere near filled up my 1gb ext3 partition

thanks for the advice all
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Do the gold card now as it's not ROM specific
[Desire General] machmandp:
sounds as if i should have done it :)

i will do it now

one quick question if i may

will there be a problem inserting the blank card in the desire as it expects the etx3 partition and will it just be ok when i put the normal card back in

or would i be best to mirror the ext3 partition onto the card i will be using for the gold card first ?

hope this makes sense
[Desire General] machmandp:
all sorted now thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] veehexx:
i've been trying to find info over the last 30-60mins, and cant find anything really conclusive.

the best info i've found is phone7 is going for blackberry market.

however, from the many other results i've found, it's very limited an no where near capable of being a business-grade OS.

ok, what i've been trying to find out is the following:

having a wm6 handset right now, what features is phone7 missing?

is mass-storage mode available?

is exchange 2007 sync available, or is it only exchange2010 compatible?

is the office suite complete? (word, excel, powerpoint, sharepoint etc)

i'm having a hard time realising what phone7 is like in the corporate environment and everything seems to be so focused on facebook and the social side of things, rather than serious business requirements.

i've had the luxury to use android on my touchHD for more than just a few minutes, so i know what it's capable of. phone7 on the other hand i dont have the luxury of trialling.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mrmomoman:
1) Mass Storage = NO - Use a USB stick. Use DropBox. Use SkyDrive. Use something else but don't use the phone as a storage device. Think about it this way. You carry the WP7 device with you and you have something on it. You then have to carry the sync cable and make sure that the other computer can install the device driver on it as well. There are many other reasons I can understand why it isn't a good reason to use the WP7 phone as a Mass Storage Device.

2) Exchange 2007 and 2010 = YES - I sync to both type of servers with Policies.

3) Office Suite = Word, Excel PowerPoint, OneNote, Sharepoint.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tnedator:
What about Exchange 2003?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sutt359:
Hiya ive had a device since the 21st and this is what ive found.

Q1. Having a wm6 handset right now, what features is phone7 missing?

A1. There are no Notes sync with using exchange but M$ answer is to use OneNote, no VPN or remote desktop. Most things have to be synced using an exchange server over the air. But contacts, Calendar and Email do work fine.

Q2. Is mass-storage mode available?

A2. No

Q3. Is exchange 2007 sync available, or is it only exchange2010 compatible?

A3. We are running exchange 2007 and it works just fine, 2010 will add sms backup weather this will work with WP7 i dont know but it does with 6.5.

Q4. Is the office suite complete? (word, excel, powerpoint, sharepoint etc)

A4. Yes Word, Excel, share point, One Note and Power Point is included. But the only way to get them to the phone is email or you will need a Live account to share documents.
[Windows Phone 7 General] raupe:
short addon to the exchange sync info:

WP7 will not allow sync of tasks! (calendar will be synced)

Even check your capabilities to deploy certificates for ssl-secured exchange connections.

I've wrote a short closeup about my business experience HERE.

Greetings Ralf
[Windows Phone 7 General] veehexx:
thank you all for your replies.

lack of mass storage is a PITA for me personally. it's not so much a business need, but the ability to simply whack the phone onto any pc (i presume HTC are keeping the miniUSB connector, and not propriety) and use it an an 'emergency' pen drive is a requirement. most people have miniUSB cable now, and if not, then i'll have my car with me and have such cable present.

i actually use 'Mass Storage' it to install activesync, and then able to use activesync.

that said, another feature that i plan to use in the future is to use Mass Storage with my car; ala ipod when you connect with USB cable.

infact, having to install drivers/software to interface with the phone is a big turn off for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] veehexx:
@2good4you - thanks for the link.

phone7 (in it's current form) is a complete disgrace. no teethering :o that'll annoy our mobile users!

time to work out if we want to be android-only, or symbian/android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chubnut:
It's supposed to be able to work with Exchange 2003 as well but I don't know if it does.

TBH from a business point of view, this OS isn't geared up for it at least at the moment. M$ did state sometime earlier in the year that business and power users are a secondary concern. Basically they are aiming for a different market share to begin with. This doesn't mean that they are not going to cater for our needs - just not yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mrmomoman:
Agreed. Assumed most knew that tasks would not sync. He was asking in general terms. It does work. Certs can always be a pain no matter what. Sometimes its butter and other times it salt.

I hope the tasks update will come.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
reading earlier, i believe if you have exchange 2003 with sp2, it will work fine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] k_aftab:
be careful there, I tried to use omnia 7 with my car to listen to music via usb it didn't work and when plugged back into WIN7x74 , it complained that drivers are missing, after countless hours of workaround i had to reset it and it is now fine.

i am using line connector for music now.

Hi. i have wm 6.5 from stock. and i wanted to put an original ROM upgrade from htc.com I entered there my S/N and downloaded a softvare, instaled it, but now my device does not tur on it goes up to those small red symbols and restarts again.

I have tried hard reset, instal another rom upgrade(from htcpedia it stuck on 0%).

What to do now plz help me.

Thanks for reply
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Sounds like you may have flashed an incompatible ROM.

You can flash from Bootloader mode through your PC.

You can search "flashing in Bootloader" or click the link to my guides in my signature.
[Desire Accessories] CrimzonEyed:
So I'm looking for some protection but need som recommendation.

Found those two on Ebay.

Black Faceplate Rubberized Cover Case For HTC Desire

&

Crystal Clear Cover Case For HTC Desire U.S. Cellular

Anyone have one of those and can give some feedback?

Or do you have some recommendations for another protective case/screen protector? Please take some time and post befor i hire small FBI midgets to protect my phone
[Desire Accessories] vuLgAr:
Sorry can't post links yet, but a quick google of HTC Desire Official Pouch Case will get you to what i mean, i purchased it from amazon for around £7 and quite prefer it over the more permanent cases which you posted, the phone fits quite snug and it has a handy tab to save you struggling to get it out.

As long as you take care when getting your phone from the case i suppose a screen protector isn't needed either. Although if you're the clumsy type then by all means choose the type you posted but it's a nice phone and shouldn't be made to look and feel like a brick imo :cool:
[Desire Accessories] sfjuocekr:
I don't have any protection for my Desire and sofar there is one minor scratch on the display because I had my keys with it when I was drunk.

The screen is pretty sturdy aslong as you don't put metal/sharp objects in the same pocket.
[myTouch 4G General] eleeo037037:
The G2 has been rooted (full)! Does this mean full root on Mytouch 4 Gizz? I believe they both had the same nan lock. I'm looking foward to custom roms and modifications, Sence Rom and cyanogen will make this phone much better. Any Devs working on the mytouch that I can follow?

Actually that's something I noticed too, all the work with modules, overlooking , etc. Has been for the G2 I may regret my decision to switch over to the mt4g I was spoiled with all the attention the g1 got.

Yeh that bums me I would really like to see a overclocked kernel on this baby. The phones processor is ready hella fast I hope cyanogen and other devs add support to this phone
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
The G2 has been out longer, and it was expected to get more attention then this one overall.

Hopefully the process will work on this one also after some developers here are guided by the G2 method (assuming it is a similar scheme on both devices).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdyl69:
Hi all. I've recently upgraded my phone to the official Froyo release, JPO running on a UK SGS unbranded and unlocked. I like to use Launcherpro as my launcher app because of the calender and twitter widgets but now, when I switch the phone on it just seems to hang for ages. If I click on the app drawer button or anywhere on the screen I get a sequence of vibrations (1 short - pause - 3 short) then I'm offered the chance to force close launcherpro or wait. If I force close it seems to come back to life after but I really don't want to be doing that every time I switch on.

I've tried various things such as 2 different versions (8.0.0 and 8.1.1 latest) and even tried completely wiping my phone, including the dalvik cache, cache partition and formatting the internal SD.

Does anybody have any suggestions what may help with this? Is it a known bug at all?

Many thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdyl69:
Has nobody else experienced this? I don't have this problem with Zeam or ADW but I just prefer Launcherpro and would love to get it working properly again

Still got my nexus for roms, gingerbread and as a backup phone. I'll probably never sell it. But it seems as we have root well that's what people are saying on the thinktank thread. I'm gonna head over to the irc now to see

[G2 and Desire Z General] henryr934:
Yeah it suck not have full control of this beautiful machine i guess iam buying one this weekend
[G2 and Desire Z General] Turbo Brian:
i moved from a nexus to a g2 and dont miss a thing. i never rooted mine or messed with roms so i dont miss that aspect. in fact, i think the g2 improves upon the nexus in almost every way. the nexus was a great phone (my first android, and purchased in May so i was a little late to the game) but the g2 is just better. screen response is better, not that i really had issues, the g2 is just more responsive. cell signal is way better. much stronger 3g in the same locations where the nexus would drop to edge. battery life is way better. doesnt even come close to overheating when used as a nav/mp3 player in my car. external speaker is much better. while i had no issues typing on the screen of the nexus, a physical keyboard is just awesome. i still have my nexus sitting at home so i plan to put gingerbread on it as soon as its released and play with it and i got into the google app maker beta thing a while back so i may use the nexus to mess with that as well but my g2 will continue to be my "daily driver"
[G2 and Desire Z General] henryr934:
I should it keep mine but is too late now but if i can get one for $300 i buy one this weekend for a backup phone

[G2 and Desire Z General] Vandam500:
Yep eMMC has been disabled. There should be a set of permanent root instructions soon.
[G2 and Desire Z General] InGeNeTiCs:
I didn't 'replace' my nexus, but my company offered to get me a company phone, so I got a g2 to accompany my nexus. I still think the nexus one is one of the best phones ever. It was very well designed, and used top notch materials. About a week ago my daughter(4) broke the digitizer playing angry birds. She got mad and slammed it on the table. :-/ I'll fix it eventually, and keep it forever. I still love that nexus.

I don't miss using my nexus as my primary device, but I won't get rid of it.

As for the g2, I never used the physical keyboard because I'm so accustomed to using the on screen one. When the OTA came, something happened upon reboot and my phone caught an 'illness' if you will. Everything worked flawlessly, except it would vibrate every 5-10 seconds regardless of volume or system state. Even when I was on the phone.

T-mobile let me trade it in for a Mytouch4G(for free), and I can't say that I miss it all that much. The only real advantage would be the physical keyboard, which I never used. The HTC espresso UI is a bit annoying, but I like the widgets and LOVE the dialer. I may go back to launcherpro, but for now I'm enjoying it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ghost_1:
I use both on a daily basis. But my N1 is now my "tablet" until the actual tablets come out. The few issue I have with the G2 will be fixed by root or updates. I'm still a little PO'd about the "vanilla" android is on the G2 and the memory but my N1 was starting to feel a little long in the tooth.
[G2 and Desire Z General] drumsforjs:
Yes we have perm root now and also sense from the dezire z and confirmed that is 100% stable.

There is an app called airplane AutoSwitch. You are supposed to be able to set the time it goes in airplane mode and comes out.
[Epic 4G Themes] mynewepic10:
I just tried it and it works. When you set the start and end time, make sure you push the menu button at the bottom and save it. If you just set it up like you want it and exit out, it will not work. So after time is set press the menu button and select save.

Hi all,

is it poosible to get a2sd+ on stock htc sense froyo?. I`m desperately running out of space, but i want to retain the stock froyo because of app updates, those on customs had issue not been able to update for example map, yt, etc. I may be wrong. In that case is there a rom with stock sense and latest froyo update?

Any info about rooting the handset with latest froyo update (stock) would also be helpful.

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dixiesmu:
Hi There

I found this link the other day about forcing apps to the SD card without rooting on Froyo

http://myhtcdesire.com/category/tipstweaks

I have tried it a few times but just can't get it to work for me, perhaps I am missing something:confused:

Hope thios helps:D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quanchi:
DISCLAIMER: be very, very careful especially if you don't have S-OFF yet and plan to use this method. Mind your exact Desire variant and read all the info on listed stuff before attempting :)

I use a rooted stock rom with Darktremors Apps2SD method. You just have to install the scripts and modify the init.rc script as described in this thread

You will need to prepare an update.zip with the boot.img or have S-OFF hboot (like AlphaRev) to flash the boot partition on which the init.rc script resides.

It might be also possible to use flash_image, but I'm not sure it will be possible without S-OFF.

I used AmonRA 1.7.0.1 Recovery R5 to repartition the SD, as it seemed to me that using Clockwork which was embedded in Unrevoked 3.21, caused my last USB brick.

This will enable you to move not only the apps but also the dalvik cache to the SD's ext partition. The data from /data/data still remains in the internal storage, but moving the apps and dalvik cache is a huge space saver.

IIRC moving some apps data from the /data/data (I think it was systems apps mostly but honestly I don't recall) to the ext partition may result in errors.

Right now the situation looks like this on my phone:

# df -h /data
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/block/mtdblock5 147.6M 102.8M 44.9M 70% /data
# du -sh /system/sd/*
200.3M	/system/sd/app
8.0M	/system/sd/app-private
54.9M	/system/sd/dalvik-cache
# ls -1 /system/sd/app /system/sd/app-private | wc -l
129

Additional bonus:

Because the ext partition is not being unmounted when connecting the phone as external storage to a computer, you don't end up with screwed up app links, and disappearing widgets when you do.

good luck
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaykaySLO:
thanks for the info.

2 things: what is S-OFF and is there a windows based procedure as I dont have a *.nix system
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quanchi:
This particular *.nix system in my example is the Android OS as seen from the adb shell.

Please search the forum for what S-OFF is, there are tons of tutorials and howtos on this subject, it's basicly an unlocked variant of the HBOOT bootloader. The standard HBOOT won't allow you to flash partitions using fastboot mode like in earlier HTC models, Dream for example.

My advice is not to touch the HBOOT if you're not familiar with it as screwing something up when trying to change it is the quickest way to a bricked phone.

best of luck
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaykaySLO:
"To begin, you'll need a Linux or a Mac system and basic knowledge on how to navigate through your Linux or Mac via a terminal program. The tools presented in this guide will only work with those systems."

As u said, its best I dont mess with hboot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quanchi:
First things first - I think it should be possible to flash boot.img from an update.zip (just a regular update from the recovery mode). So no S-OFF modification needed this way.

Or just ask around the forum. It could be possible to flash the boot partition on the device using flash_image. Since my phone is already s-off I can't verify that.

Ah, that :) My bad, I thought you meant the code in my post.

Well you need a *.nix-ish environment for that particular solution, but that doesn't necessarily has to be an actual Linux / MacOS box.

There are a couple of ways to work around not having a Linux / MacOSX box:

First: If you have at least some knowledge of operating a unix shell, you can just download a live boot linux distro in the form of ISO image. Download and install VirtualBox, run the iso from there.

Second choice would be Cygwin, which is basically your *.nix environment for Windows.

Third is to install just a Windows perl interpreter needed for some of the scripts, and download a windows version of the mkbootimg binary, and just do the whole procedure manually. You pretty much just have to be able to run:

1. perl

2. cpio

3. mkbootimg

You can google all the needed exe's, and then you google "how to unpack boot.img" and take your pick - OR just take a peak inside the scripts from the semi-automatic solution (the thread you just quoted). The scripts are simplicity itself, pretty much don't differ much from a simple windows / dos batch file.

Fourth is to ask someone you trust to prepare the image for you :D

Either way, you have to modify the init.rc to be able to run the a2sd scipt on android boot.

OFC you can just start the process manually from a Terminal Emulator directly on the phone, and repeat it every time after you power on the phone, but that's hardly a comfortable way to go :)

Tell you what. If you feel really courageous I can fashion up a web form for you (and anyone else interested) which could allow you to submit a boot.img and have it modifed automatically, allow you to download a modified version. But: no warranties ;) and also I might end up being an evil sneaky, sneaky bastard :D Your call
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaykaySLO:
Thanks for the comprehensive info, but I`m not willing to experiment too much for the sake of not bricking the phone. I thought there might be a simpler solution....

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quanchi:
Like I wrote in the earlier posts. Partition with AmonRA recovery, install Darktremors APPS2SD, modify the init.rc script located on the boot partition, flash the modified boot - just browse the earlier posts. There are links to threads containing all the info you need.
