[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
Okay, I think it has been established that about half of the four gigs are NOT available to the user.

That leaves roughly 2.4gb right?

Whose to say that we can't specify our own custom partition tables? Look at Firerat's hack for the G1: It has a total of 209 mb's available for the data, system, and cache partitions. Instead of being limited to 67.5 mb's for /system on a stock spl or 89 mb's on DANGER spl, he made a clever little hack that you can use to resize the partitions. You could have a sense rom fit completely on the /system partition without any apps on the memory card or on /data. It's beautifully simple: wipe, specify system size, specify cache size, flash rom, patch kernel, and reboot. All the remainder of the space is left to /data. That means that, we could have, say, 300 mb's for system, 5 mb's for cache, and the rest for data (2.1gb's). (cache isn't really important, and it's simlinked to /data) I'll look at my partitions and post back.

EDIT: This is how my partitions are. Stock rooted w/ baconbits. Converted from kb to mb, and rounded to one decimal. Also, I found it strange that some apps create their own partitions. For example, angry birds has its own 30 mb partition. I didn't list those partitions(they total 58.8mb), just the main ones.

partition-------size------------------used---------------available

/dev-----------185.4mb------------0mb----------------185.4mb

/system--------403.3mb------------201.8mb-----------201.5mb

/data-----------1317.3mb----------538.8mb-----------778.5mb

/cache---------192.5mb------------16.3mb------------176.2mb

/mnt/asec------185.4mb------------0mb---------------185.4mb

totals----------2283.9mb-----------756.9--------------1527.2mb

P.S., the command I used for the results was adb shell df.

From my case, I would use 220 mb for /system, /20 mb for cache, /2mb each for /dev, /asec, and /cache, with the reamaining 1983.9mb left to /data. Not quite the 4 gigs improvement you guys were looking for, but I'll take an extra 650 mb's any day. Hell, I'm being very conservative with with what I gave, I could remove a ton of bloat ware and shrink all the other partion's to 2mb and symlink them to data. Then we could have roughly 800mb extra, or 60% more app storage space.

I'll test his method myself as soon as cyanogenmod launches for the G2, but there's nothing to flash right now (not a sense fan...). Success has been reported on the sprint hero, desire, and the evo. Oh and it works wonders on the G1.
[G2 and Desire Z General] creepinm3:
That makes sense, so is that the reason why the G2 can out benchmark these 1GHZ phones? Or is it just a little bit more than that?
[G2 and Desire Z General] perquisitor_omnia:
I bet its a contributing factor, considering the G2 and at least the Nexus 1 have the same chipset, the G2 is just the 800Mhz version. (Thank you Wikipedia!)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Superfrag:
Its not the same chipset.. the CPU is the same, (Scorpion) but the GPU and other internal stuff is different.
[G2 and Desire Z General] perquisitor_omnia:
Ah, nevermind then; different GPU and internals would make a big difference.
[G2 and Desire Z General] blazewit:
And the g2 is the 2nd gen snapdragon w the 45nm process where as the n1 is 65nm
[G2 and Desire Z General] cold0ero:
So in essence, they made a small RAID on the chip?
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr123:
No, not even close.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rhcp011235:

[G2 and Desire Z General] wrsg:
this thread really needs to be locked now.

read the wiki to understand why we won't be able to use the 4gb.

summary: 2gb have stuff. other 2gb make phone faster. phone have more faster ram. Phone go faster.
[G2 and Desire Z General] wrsg:
why not? its like an in-ram version of RAID. sort of, but not exactly the same.

I have a dead phone I'm toying with. It's not on with the network. This is my first attempt at rooting etc. I would like to just have it as a sort of game/fun/toy phone. I have a G1 from Tmobile that I use and not going to try and root until I get a new one, then perhaps also have that as a game/fun/toy phone. Anyway, I have a Sprint Hero and how I've been getting apps and such on it is by swapping SD cards and doing a back up or connect via wi fi from one of the sites with a list of freeware to download. I want to get rid of the apps that I don't want/need for this phone. I'm not going to use it to call people so I would like that off too if I could. I would like to keep the wi fi though. I am new to this and trying to figure everything out. I just got busybox and rom manager on the phone. So, now what? How do I get those annoying stock apps I don't want/need? I really don't need to change the whole face of it, just those apps to be removed and I'll be happy with it. :) Thanks

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistyshadow:
ok thanks. it's just so time consuming to be sitting on the computer trying to search and read through so much. I don't sit on my butt all day staring at a screen. I have a baby and any screen time is when he's sleeping. It's just easier to ask and hope for an answer. I'll look through the links later. Thanks. :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistyshadow:
I also want it as some type of "toy" for him to play with instead of taking MY phone! lol. I have toddler lock on it and he seems to like it. But I don't really want him to have it until he stops "chewing" on it. My G1 case cover is ruined from him. lol. oh well. He likes to play with phones because everyone else does. They start early now. I downloaded all sort of kid games so when that day comes, I can say, here you go when he takes mine! :)

But I'm lost on figuring out if there is a program I need? Or if the superoneclick has it in the app. I have it on our Windows computer and I'm currently on our Mac. And that computer is so slow and now I have to spend the time to try and clean IT out. Its running Vista and I have a copy of 7 but I don't feel like dealing with all of that. sigh.

Does tethering work with phone to phone? Like connect my non network phone to my G1 for internet like when we go on vacation and my nonsmart phone partner wants to use the net and so do I, that we can share. I'm guessing USB cable would do that? I don't know, there is just so much to read up on for a newbe trying to figure it out. Time for sleep now.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythegreenguy:
Well, nobody around here sits around on their butts staring at the screen, waiting for people like you to ask questions... so that they can answer. If you think of this as "Customer Service", think again. Everyone here has primary jobs, they do this because they like it and are passionate about it.

Having said that, nobody is saying "No" to answering questions... just try searching and looking up the obvious links, first.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistyshadow:
Geeze. sorry. I just thought Maybe someone else maybe already had done it and point me in the right direction. I try searching and can't find anything in what I'm trying to do. So a here, try this and this and such would be nice. Thought I give a bg on what I wanted to do with it. And I'm still new and get lost around here. Tech langauage changes every 6 months along with the phones. I see "flash" and I think of the Adobe program or the flash on a camera. So forgive me. And I guess nevermind.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrinehart93:
I agree with the others here. There is a wealth of tutorials available, and when used will achieve your goal of a "toy". However, I will help you out by providing a framework of things you will need to do. Bear in mind you will need to do the searching though. This way you will learn more about the phone, and you will have a better sense of what to do if something doesn't go right, etc.

First, you need to have your phone rooted. Rooting allows you full access over the phone. Most rooting utilities will install "Busybox", a set of binaries that grants you the ability to use special commands. Next, you will want to install a custom Recovery image. There are two mainstream ones available: Amon-RA and ClockworkMod. Either is fine. The recovery image allows you to make backups of your phone, install new ROMs, and reset settings, among other things. After the recovery image is installed, you will want to search for a list of "safe to delete apps".

I hope this helps you somewhat. If you have anymore questions feel free to PM me.

My epic will not turn on the 3g radio. I have used switchpro to try and turn it on with APN toggle, however the 3G icon will not display even though switchpro states that 3g is on. 4G works fine.

Anyone have a clue on how to fix it?

TIA
[Epic 4G General] flopez76:

Well I fixed it once before, I just installed Quick Settings from the market. Hit menu>customize and then move Mobile data(both of them) up. then i just turned them off and on

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyungjae:
Hey guys,

I permarooted my phone yesterday, and got rid of amazon mp3 via titanium back up. There's so much more I want to get rid of, but I don't want to delete something essential to the ROM resulting in force closures forever.

I wouldn't mind so much if I was using some sort of recovery with the complete ROM zip in my SD card.

Back to the point, what can we safely delete?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pack:
just back up the apps before you uninstall them, then if you have any issues you can just put it back
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebitjockey:
I found out the hard way, titanium does not backup system apps.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlockman:
I thought TB did in fact backup system apps. Maybe when I did it with TB it wasn't really backing them up, but it gave me the option to do it so I did. Figured I would back up the system apps to the ROM in case it was somewhat difficult to un-root if needed.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
TB backs up only system data, not the apps themselves.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlockman:
But it can restore the apps from the backed up data, or am I totally not getting what the batch file for the system app is for?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scoop24:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 21productionz:
Same here no issues.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebitjockey:
For me, it backed them up and I did see the compressed files. Upon further examination, the compressed files were empty.

What someone else said is true, it does backup the data but it does not backup the app yet it will delete the apps APK files from the /system/app directory. Basically, no way to restore them.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ESKIMOn00b:
freeze an app first... make sure you get no FC or problems...

then delete it
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
TB can backup only system app data, that is data from the apps built into the ROM. It does however back up both user apps themselves (elective apps you download) in addition to their data.

I think he just wants to know which apps everyone removed to avoid any issues a head a time.... like a list of what you removed if your not having any issues whats so ever...

can someone compile a list of safe things to remove?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaMaceMan:
I took out a few things yesterday and found out two important things:

1) Even after removing Facebook for Mytouch you cannot add a Facebook sync account using the market Facebook app.

2) Titanium will not restore apps like Peep or Facebook for Mytouch. It lists it as backed up, but there is no option to restore. ('restore all apps and system data' yielded the same results)

There was an alternate FB app out there for a while that fixed the sync issue, but for myself I just reverted to my nandroid backup.

However, aside from the issue above, I experienced no issues on the phone after removing:

Facebook for Mytouch

Peep

News sync

News

Asphalt, RB, etc

I think I removed a few others but don't want to guess at names and spread misinformation. :)

May I suggest someone compile a list and create a stickie topic for it?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
^^ Yeah, well Titanium cannot backup system apps, and therefore, cannot restore them! It only backs up and restores their data.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaMaceMan:
@Hinouchi

Rooting is the process of, basically, gaining full access to make changes to your phone.

Permarooting is a term used specifically relating to the G2 and Mytouch, which were "designed" to revert changes such as rooting after the phone is rebooted. Permaroot is a process by which you bypass this manufacturer "safety feature" and obtain *perma*nent *root* access.

I suspect you may find a better explanation on Wikipedia, but that's the gist of it.

EDIT: No worries on the content of your question, we're all "n00bs" at something :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaMaceMan:
@floepie

So it would seem! Though I don't recall ever seeing that in what documentation there is for the app.

I'll look again and email the dev if I can't find anything.

There are certainly other ways to backup/restore those apps, but the capability to do so in Ti would be some kind of awesomesauce :-)

Ok, as I did with Impaled Gold and Impaled Blue, I created a xml file to make setting your notification colors easier. I hope this helps you out. A couple of disclaimers: 1. This will not change any colors on the genie widget, aka news and weather widget. Secondly, it will not set the color of the power control widget in the pulldown screen. That must be set manually.

Color code: #ffff0003

1. Download the attached .zip file.

2. Go to your sd card root and look for a folder named CMTheme. If it isn't there, make one.

3. Extract the .xml from the .zip.

3. Locate where you extracted the .xml file to and move it to the CMTheme folder.

4. Next, return to your home screen, then: menu > settings > CyanogenMod settings > User interface > Tweaks extra > Select a theme.

5. Choose the theme and tap OK.

6. Reboot to set the colors.

7. ENJOY!!!!

If you have any problems, let me know. Thanks!

EDIT: Updated notification xml. Tweaked count color.
