[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evo4gfan:
i found the thread, interesting stuff. So, basically after you install this kernel, you can start overclocking the cpu? Is this optional?

http://66.197.42.222/snap/index.php?dir=v7.x/v7.6/bfs/ <--- is this okay? the zip file for 7.6 BFS

Does this work with CM6.1 RC1?

Wiping cache and dalvik doesn't effect the current setup you have on your phone right? It just clears the cache?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evo4gfan:
Umm just updating the thread, i just finished installing it. So what is the snapturbo actually doing? is my cpu currently overclocked after i did that? How do i adjust this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tokyogtr:
If like me you're constantly trying out new ROMs and KERNELs and LAGFIXs, inevitably you're going to come across a corrupted Music player DB and get the error: Not enough space for music db. Delete some items

For those of you getting the above error, I have fixed it. Seems the database file can get corrupted and you need to remove the DB files and rerun media scanner.

In Root Explorer got to /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.media and remove all the files in there. There should be 3, 2 are .db files and 1 is a journal file. Then re run media scanner (i use the switch pro widget to run it again) or reboot the phone, which is probably the better option as it will rescan all SD's instead of just the external one.

Then launch media player or video player and everything will be back to normal.

Hope this helps.

PS I have posted this in Q&A also but thought it also belonged in dev, but if i'm wrong then please delete.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SKelem:
didn't work for me - no such file

I have a Samsung Vibrant.

I mounted my Vibrant on Linux, and searched the filesystem for anything called com.android.providers.media.

I found

TitaniumBackup/com.android.providers.media-20110103-183123.properties*

TitaniumBackup/com.android.providers.media-20110103-183123.tar.gz*

TitaniumBackup/com.sdgtl.mediahub.tmo-20110103-183108.tar.gz*

If the fix for the "not enough space" problem is to delete the .db files, then that's been done, and I shouldn't restore these files.

that's your internal sdcard. you need to be rooted i think and do it from /
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wocko1:
I'm considering buying a Kingston Class 10 MicroSDHC 16GB card. I'm wondering how big can I get the EXT partition on it, without potential problems. I did hear that having a slow card causes grief for those who move all cache, apps and data to the SD. I only have a class 2 16 gigger atm :(.

Is it worth it, buying a super fast card then apps2sd?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Class 2 is suffice. For the EXT 2 partition size, i would recommend nothing bigger than 1024 MB, even 512 MB would be fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
Have it as big as you want/need. Depends on how many apps you have and if you use the ext partition for anything else.

I wouldn't bother moving cache to SD unless you run out of internal memory. There's usually enough room on data for it (unless you have MANY apps), so why move it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
I would say as big as you want:D but if you are only willing to do it through Rom Manager, you can only do up to 512MB. but still, 512 MB still is alot:D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
Oh yes, and i would say that getting a class ten card is not necessary, i have a class 4 one and i am very happy with it unless you are transferring 16GB worth of files at one go and you would see a big difference. I would say class 6 would be good enough:D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichoko:
and in case we have an ext partition on the sd card.. if i do a regular format will i loose the ext partition or not?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
512 isnt alot, i have a 1.25gb ext and only 200mb free
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gladman:
How does on create a 1.25gb ext without linux? I've looked everywhere and can't find!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Download Gparted Live CD (Very small download)

Burn it to a cd/usb

Reboot with this.

Partition as you wish! :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gladman:
Ok did this. How do I get Desire using Aurasense to use the ext3 partition? So far it can't see it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberkamote:
Sorry to bring this thread up again, so here's what I intend to do along the linesof the subject:

What I have:

- I have a rooted Desire on SuperVillain (2.2) ROM

- I have an 8GB class 6 SD

- I have RAN OUT of space on my 512MB partition, so yes it aint a lot if you're an app whore like me. :P

What I intend to do

1. Resize my SD ext partition to 1024MB or 1.25GB as stated above.

How I intend to do it

- Manually (by this i mean, copy and paste) backup my whole SD card to my computer.

- do a Titanium backup

- Format my SD card

- partition using GPARTED (see steps I got below)

- Manually restore (by this i mean, copy and paste- again) my SD card backup back to my newly partitioned SD card

- do a restore using Titanium backup

As stated above:

Download Gparted Live CD (Very small download)

Burn it to a cd/usb

Reboot with this.

Partition as you wish!

Now, my questions are, overall are these steps correct?

Do I really need to do a Titanium backup and restore for this? or manual backup and restore should do it? If yes, then what type of backup/restore on Titanium would you recommend? (apps only?, data only? apps +data?, etc...)

TIA!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Open gparted, copy the ext partition of the card, copy it to an unpartitioned area of hard disk or a pen drive. Del the ext, stretch to new size, paste back. That's it.

Make both nand and ti backups for good measure.

Via T3 phone of the year 2010 - HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberkamote:
so nand and ti backup isnt actually required..hmm Thanks man!

I have heard stories that after doing these their apps wont launch well bec it "lack permission" etc...that they needed to "fix permissions" using ROM manager- any experience on this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Ti and Nand Backup are absolutely required, unless you have utterly useless data on your card.

On restore, there may be permissions issues. Restoring using Ti should be stringently monitored. Do a Nand Backup of the freshly installed Rom once again before attempting Ti restore. A Nand restore is as safe as it gets. While doing a Ti restore, do not attempt to restore system apps installed by HTC. That will create Force closes. While restoring apps, try restoring apps alone, see if there are issues. Then try data+apps if you need the data saved by the apps. If the system gets corrupt while restoring any particular app, gp back to your Nand, restore the prev good copy and try again omitting that app which caused problems. After Ti restore, do the Rom Manager>Fix permissions.

The Gparted method I mentioned is not known to many. It is by far, the easiest method. However like any method which deals with system partitions, do so at your risk and if you're good at system tasks. The safer alternative would be using Vmware>Mount Gparted as LiveCD, since there is zero chance of data loss on the host PC. However if you dont know Vmware, dont ask more..This is not for you.
[myTouch 4G General] A|G:
...Or does the Media Room notifications while playing dont show, instead that shows up there is the app icon itself.

..I confirmed it by extracting the apk with ninjamorph and noticed that the icon are suppose to be black n white and while in music its a music icon and while streaming its a antenna icon.

.Can anyone confirm please and post screen shots if possible

This is not mayor but its sure a bug and maybe was fixed by the OTA, so hopefully we get both sides of comparison ;-)

[XPERIA X10 General] fightingroost12:
theres an app in cydia that installs froyo on iphones now... who would have guessed iphone owners would get froyo before us?! http://www.iphonehacks.com/2010/11/how-to-install-android-on-your-iphone-using-bootlace.html
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
it has many issues currently, I've seen many try, I even saw Ipads running on Froyo, but yet again with many issues.....

but it's a good option for iPhone users to run Android :p
[XPERIA X10 General] fightingroost12:
yeaa when i read the headline i just made this face -___- lol
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Let's be rational. There's probably 10 to 20 times as many iPhone owners as there are X10 owners, which comes with it a proportional increase in people developing for it.

You'd have a better point if it said "Apple released Android 2.2 before Sony Ericsson did for the X10."
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Did anyone watch the Engadget Show from October?

They made fun of the X10 again ".....for example Sony's phone, that came with, what.... 1.6?"
[XPERIA X10 General] 279Paddy:
nope, haven't seen anything like that...mmmhhh, but really, i love my X10 now that it's running 2.1, and i loved my X10 when it was running 1.6....it has this unique design which makes it actually look it a little more mature and sophisticated compared to the iPhone (no offence here, I had used an iPhone before I gave it to my girlfriend and bought an X10).....

besides, I think the fact that people are being eager to get froyo fully running on an iPhone somehow shows that they may not be completely satisfied with Apple's OS ;-)

just my 2 cents
[XPERIA X10 General] fightingroost12:
trust me i had an iphone and the ios is just awful, jailbreaking isnt any better. Most jailbreak apps are real battery killers, and its hard to feel proud of your iphone when apple releases a newer better one every year, the iphone 4 is already lame and iphone forums are already discussing iphone 5 news and specs, thats just nuts
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Did you miss this thread?

If you're serious about being angry that a company updates it's product line once a year, I'm kinda worried what's going to happen when you start looking at a new computer, camera, or television.
[XPERIA X10 General] Findee:
You've been able to install android off cydia for some time now. I know I did it on my iphone a few months back now. It is unusable though. There just aren't enough buttons on the iphone for it to work properly.
[XPERIA X10 General] fightingroost12:
thats different, if se releases a new phone i wont care, i bought my phone online from at&t for 160 bucks and had it delivered to me, but when people freak out about the new iphone, wait in line for days, pay up to 400 bucks (credit cards only now, no more cash or debit will be excepted for newly released iphones), and then find out within a few months a newer better one is already being viewed by the fcc... well it gets a little frustrating
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Yeah, well, that's the Cult of Apple for ya. Pay them no mind, and at the same time, thank them. Without the iPhone, we wouldn't be playing with our X10s right now. They pushed smartphones into the limelight and pushed companies like HTC, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson to innovate!
[XPERIA X10 General] fightingroost12:
yea the iphone itself is a great product, but its the limbo of purchases that kill me. look up new iphone, pre order, wait in line, drop half a grand on launch day, repeat, repeat, repeat
[XPERIA X10 General] 279Paddy:
You may have overlooked this, but as I said, I had been using an iPhone (for two years) before I got an X10...hence, I totally agree with you...all that jailbreaking here, jailbreaking there, and thus only being able to fully "unleash the phone's power" (yeah, a little bit of sarcasm in there) if you jailbreak it, is just pure crap....always being scared of the next update which will probably make it more difficult or even impossible to jailbreak the handset is so freaking annoying - thus, android ROCKS! (no offence to people who use an iPhone btw, just to clarify) ;D
[XPERIA X10 General] freco:
My wife's iPad is realy lucky because I would break it from the first days if it was mine. I love the machine I hate the OS.

If there is an option to install Android on it I would definetely give it a try.
[XPERIA X10 General] JohnnyX10:
Iphone froyo

I will never buy an iPhone no matter what os it is running.

My bros iPhone is horrible. 3G cuts out, its not smooth and GPS doesn't work properly 4 times out of 10.

Although FroYo will set those poor iPhone owners free! :D ;)

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] synesthete:
This looks cool. I will see if I have time to play around with it soon. I have been having problems with metamorph and it can be very slow with framework files. Hopefully I can get it working in the mac terminal.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] icbeer:
I'm sure it will work under emulation. I'm curious whether it would work natively on the Mac under Mono. I tried it a little under Mono on Linux and it seemed to work fine for applying themes, but I never tried any of the other features. It's kind of surprising, but the same exe that works under windows should work on Linux and Mac like a Java application. Mono is binary compatible with windows. You just type "mono FlashMOD.exe" from the command line to run it. Mono supports Windows Forms on Windows, Linux, and MacOSX. I do not have all the external tools bundled for Mac, so you would have to round those up, but they are all open source. There is a config file that sits alongside the exe that tells it the path of the executables. I have it setup for Windows, so you would need to change it for other platforms.

If anyone wants to help me provide Mac and Linux support I would appreciate that.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] SiL3nTKiLL:
cool mod! gonna use it asap
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] icbeer:
Let me know if it works for you. This is pretty much in the beta phase at the moment. It definitely works nicely for me on Conap's CELB ROM. Hopefully later today I will have time to test this on Kaos Froyo and some of the others.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] icbeer:
Oops, found a couple bugs in the signing utility. I had the pem and pk8 keys reversed in the hardcoded values when selected from the radio buttons. I have corrected this in version 1.0.1. Also there was a compatability problem with KaosFroyo that I have resolved in version 1.0.1. It looks like Conap's ROM has different signing requirements than Kaos. According to logcat, KaosFroyo was complaining that I didn't sign certain apks with the shared keys. Rather than dealing with all that, I'm just going to take the more common approach of not resigning the apks. This will cause header mismatch warnings in zipalign, but I have suppressed these warnings internally. I just built the releases and will be posting them shortly.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] hoovnick:
Here's a crazy idea I just thought of...would it be possible to make a nand of whatever ROM you're currently running, zip it up, and apply a zipped theme using your method? My thinking behind this is that I'd rather not go through setting up all the mundane stuff such as email, relocating certain apps to system/apps, deleting apps I don't use/duplicate apps, ringtones, and the countless other modifications. If this is just a ridiculous idea, please ignore. Otherwise, any thoughts on this?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] icbeer:
There are other way of reapplying your customizations such as using a Titanium Backup restore. My application does not require that you apply the theme to a ROM either, just a flashable zip file. You can apply it to an update.zip file instead with only the apps you want themed included in the file (and probably framework-res). It's pretty easy to set that up, but it is a manual process. Automatation is a beautiful thing :-)

What you are suggesting is not impossible to do...nand backups are images of the partitions on the phone in yaffs format. There is a program called unyaffs that I have compiled that can extract these. The program could then generate an update.zip file for you to reapply the system apps/framework. This is something I have been considering, although I was thinking of doing it a different way. I was thinking of pulling the apps with adb and then generating an update.zip from that. The problem with the way I was thinking of doing it is that it would require everyone to have the android sdk installed. I like your idea because it would remove the adb requirement. This sounds like a good addition to the next version. I'll look into this. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] CCCP4ever:
Wonderful job =) works like a charm! Much better than metamorph.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] danielahl137:
Has anyone tested this on froshedyo v5?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] CCCP4ever:
I tried in on CELB. Why don't you just try it on FroyoShed? Just do nand backup before you do it.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] icbeer:
I haven't tried his ROM out yet. His ROM is compiled with the source code for CELB though if I remember correctly, so it will probably work. I'll try it out after I get off work.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] icbeer:
Major accomplishment tonight! FlashMOD is now the first C# application to natively extract all the types of NAND img files, including data.img, system.img, and boot.img. I even created a CPIO archive decompressor to extract the ram disk in the boot.img file. This will all be available in 1.1.0, which I'll try to release this weekend.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] hoovnick:
Very nice! Will test when you post it.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] icbeer:
Thx, for your help. I will try to post tonight if I have the energy after seeing Harry Potter in the IMAX.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] loki154:
The new release sounds awesome. Nice job icbeer
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] icbeer:
Thanks for the support guys. It's nice to feel like other people appreciate what I'm doing. I didn't make it to post things tonight. I wanted to change part of the implementation to lower memory requirements. I also need to write up all the acknowledgements and round up all the licenses, from anyone I borrowed code from. It's actually kind of tedious to build a release that doesn't violate any licenses.

I'm trying to bundle all these little tools into one package. I'm not adding anything you couldn't do already, but you'd have to compile a C application to extract the unyaffs volumes and you'd have to run a perl script followed by extracting the cpio volume with 7z or cpio (on linux) to do it. By getting them into C# I can now provide a cross platform method for doing this and a graphical interface. It will also allow me to incorporate these utilities into the progress bar at some point.

For now, this is mostly going to be for curiosity sake, or in case you need to pull stuff out of your Nandroid backups. It's pretty interesting to look at the boot.img file and some of the config files in there. The next step will be to generate themed update zip files from the system apps and the framework in the nandroid backups as requested. That was really the whole reason I did this.

I'm trying to port all the external tools to C# to simplify things and give me more control over everything. The real challenge now is signapk and zipalign, because those are the 2 external tools involved in applying themes. Signapk is tricky, because I have to port portions of the Java security library to C#. It looks like the BouncyCastle crypto library may provide a lot of what I need. Zipalign looked a little more straight forward to port.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] icbeer:
Sorry I didn't post again today, my internet has been down since this morning. However I added the ability to apply MetaMorph themes, so hopefully that makes up for my lagging. I'll go build the release now so I can post it when I get to work tommorow.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] icbeer:
Ughh, took me like 3 versions to get it right, but it is now correctly updating the update script for the ROM in case the theme needs to copy items to the data folder or sdcard. I am very curious to hear from anyone trying MetaMorph themes with this tool. Let me know if things are working out for you.

Hi guys!

I've just started experimenting with customising a rom to my needs.

I've already added some things i was missing and deleted some stuff i don't use.

but now i want to add some stuff like the xda app and some other stuff.

i searched already but couldn't find anything usefull, or maybe just read over it.

How do i get the .apk files of the app's i want, so i can put them in the rom??

or do i have to create it myself?

and is there a way to get/create .apk files of the app's i previously downloaded from the market?

or is there a better/easyer way to do this?

Thnx in advance!

unless you have an answer, thread is closed

ok, i might get some heat for this but i am prepared. this has nothing at all to do with smartphones, but i dont know of anybody else with the amount of computer working knowledge as you guys here at the xda, so i turn to you with my problem.

i was tying up a questionnaire on the web. it was taking a while, and i was tired, so i went to bed. in the morning, i finished it, but the website had logged me out, so i couldn't submit it. this is worth a big chunk of my grade, and needs to be done tomorrow.

so my question, does anybody know a way to copy multiple text boxes and paste them into an identical web page?
