I believe it does. It has to be partitioned to work with DarkTremor I know. I thought partitioning had to be done by the user though. Just going by what I've read. I don't use it myself. The question is why Amon_Ra won't wipe it for you. As was posted earlier formatting the card may be the solution. Or wiping via adb has it suggests. Just be sure to save everything to your pc first if you decide to format.

Well, thanks and gee wilikers batman! :p

Yeah, this thread is great.

I did have some issues only to solve them myself with Titanium Backup..contacts, apps etc.. but okay now.

I also had a freeze up using HULU and had to do a battery pull. I have AZRAEL 2.1 DC on my 003, with HTC #11 kernal.....and i have all radios, wimax, PRI, PRL updated but NOT the new ones associated with 3.70.

Also, my Google contacts wont sync (which i feel is a google issue if im not mistaken because everything else, calander, yahoo, etc syncs up correctly.)

And i have news for u guys wanting a new Wireless Tether.......it wont work. I had to Nandroid back to get my pre 9 vaelpak again because the pre 9, 11, 15 and that new 2.02 on the market will not work.

Also, im comming from a stock and vanilla rom, and NEVER was able to use sprint hotspot. i use to get a error message...but now, it works flawlessly! HAHA Sprint!

AND.... i have the same old stock rom keyboard...what happened to the alleged Gingerbread keyboard?

Thanks Rick, again, great work....im bragging on this daily to all my evo buddies, and iphone cronies, lol. :eek:

Partitioning SD card & sizing partitions???

I was considering partitioning my SD card (8GB class 4), and was wondering what size the ext partitions should be, & what formats as well?

I know the root needs to be FAT32, but I've seen NTFS partitions mentioned here & there. Not sure if I need to do this, or not. I've seen that the cache cleaner Rick included w/ Azreal X 3.2 v2.1 try's to clean the SD's cache, but there's never anything to clean.

I've also been wondering about creating a "swap" partition on the SD, is this worthwhile? Or even necessary? & if so will it make the phone run faster?

Is DarkTremor Apps2sd even compatible with this ROM? My understanding is that the ROM has to be made compatible with DarkTremor. If it is compatible, I'm coming from the latest Fresh ROM and if I wipe and install this ROM what happens to the apps already on my MicroSD partition? Should I wipe that as well before I install this ROM? I've only used DarkTremor on the Fresh ROM so I'm not sure if there is a process that needs to be done if you go to a different ROM. TIA
[EVO 4G Android Development] robpet2:
yes it will work.. if you use the RA Recovery it will partition the card for you.. but it will also delete everything on the sdcard...

download the darktremmors apps2sd zip file from that thread and follow the instructions, flash it like a rom...
[EVO 4G Android Development] strikeIII:
Thanks for your response. I'm already using darktremor and have used RA to partition my card but if I switch to this ROM should I wipe my partition again and recreate it or just go ahead and reinstall darktremor?

Wipe and recreate its safer less issues

What does it all mean?

Some EVO Newbie question, stuff like:

Baseband Version: 2.15.00.09.01

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.24-king-havs,OcUv#11

Build Number: Ava-FroyoV9

Software Number: 3.29.651.5

Browser Version: WebKit 3.1

PRI Version: 1.77_003

PRL Version: 60671

hboot: 2.02

Does flashing a ROM update these for you? I was reading several pages back when a discussion of OTA 'this and that' was going on. I assume these are rooted OTA builds.

Is there a quick guide for updating all the parts of your phone? I have already rooted using Amon_RA (RA-evo-v1.8.0). I am using this ROM.

My phone's current Software Config is:

Android Version: 2.2

Baseband Version: 2.15.00.09.01 (Radio)

Kernal Versiion: 2.6.32.15

Build Number: 3.30.651.3

Software Number: Azrael X v2.1

Browser Version: WebKet 3.1

PRI Version: 1.77_003

PRL Version: 60662

hboot: 2.02.0000

FYI -> Hardware Version: 0004

What should I update and where do I go for instructions? What of these will be updated by Azrael X v3.0 and what needs to be updated individually (where do I go for instructions?)

I know this is a lot of newbie questions but do much appreciate your input.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Azrael X 3.0 will update everything but your baseband (radio) version, pri, and prl. The Radio can be found in Calkulin's radio thread. There's a flashable zip for the pri, that's new. Just came out today. For myself I'm going to wait and see what others say about it before I flash it on my phone. PRL can be updated via menu / settings / system updates.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Trident:
LOL. I was reading this and almost spit. "How did I miss that??" Then I read the parts that I skimmed over.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lightiv:
Thanks much. Out of curiosity what is PRL and PRI for/do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Lol... Sorry. Didn't take into account the anticipation factor! :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetMonger:
Very basically... PRL is concerning towers and getting us the best signal. PRI is much more complicated. As I understand it, it's concerning Sprint and its interaction with the public telephone network.

[Android Apps and Games] phsorx:
Hi guys!

This is a quick tool I jotted together for myself in the past couple days and found it very useful. So I decided to clean it up and share it. Hope you will like it! Do comment and ask!:rolleyes:

APK Batch Rename Tool

* for Windows and Linux for now.

APK Batch Rename Tool recursively crawls input folder and all of its subfolders looking for Android Package files (.apk's). It reads Label and Version info from apk's found and creates a copy for each apk under the output folder but using the Label and Version info acquired.

For example a com.example.hw.apk will make Hello World! 1.21.apk provided that the label inside the package was set to Hello World! and version is 1.21.

The old and the new apk files are 100% the same in terms of content and are unchanged. Only the new copies are given new filenames. Input files are left completely intact.

Why?

Have you ever wondered what are your 1500+ apk files with wierd names nested to different wierd folders on your harddrive? Have you ever wanted to find an app but you were unable to because it had some undescriptive javaish name that made no sense reflected no version and your apps were swept across a hundred junk folders anyway? Then APK Batch Rename is the tool for you! And me! :D

APK Batch Rename will set a human readable name for all your Android apps, and drop such a copy into a folder. You will finally be able to browse them, sort them alphabetically and be able to pick from versions available.

How?

1. Copy all your apk files (or folders with apk files in them) into the input folder. You may copy folders of any depth. APK Batch Rename Tool will recurse all subfolders of the input folder anyway.

2. Hit or click ApkBatchRename.bat . (For Linux users it's: apkbatchrename, or on a terminal enter: ./apkbatchrename ) Wait until it finishes the job.

3. Find your freshly named files in the output folder.

Simple as that!

Have fun! & Comment!

[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
Very cool, Works well. Always wanted to do this but was too lazy to try aapt.

I just checked:

> aapt d badging Talk.apk
[B]package: name='com.google.android.talk' [/B]versionCode='130' [B]versionName[/B]='1.3'
sdkVersion:'8'
targetSdkVersion:'8'
uses-permission: **truncated***
application: [B]label='Talk'[/B] icon='res/drawable-hdpi/ic_launcher_google_talk.png'
uses-feature:'android.hardware.touchscreen'
main
other-activities
search
other-receivers
supports-screens: 'small' 'normal' 'large'
locales: '--_--' 'es' 'es_US'
densities: '160' '240'

I'll definitely use your script but with a small change to show the package name as well as its valuable for when you need to uninstall the package.

i.e label_packagename(version).apk -> Talk_com.google.android.talk(1.3).apk

Attached a slightly modified batch file and screenshot :)

For single file one-off renames (right-click->open with->rename single) you can use the script here.

Customizable naming planned in future version

Hi Britoso,

Yeah! That's a neat way to do it too!

Eventually I want to make naming and spacing fully customizable! Including what attributes to pick (name, label, versionName) to constitute the filename, and what separators (_,-,(,),space) should go where.

In the howto.txt I have a little road-map for the project. Will add customizable naming too. :)

Will keep you guys posted.

For one-off renames you can use the below batch file.

1) create the below batch file in the same folder as apkrename.bat (its attached too)

Name

: rename-single.bat (change this if you want)

content

:

cd "C:\change_me\ApkRename\"
apkrename.bat %1 %~dp1

Change the path(change_me) as needed.

2)Associate it with apks by right clicking on the apk and choosing "choose default program", browse and select the batch file "rename-single.bat".

Uncheck "make this the default operation"

Screenshot and batch file attached. Enjoy.

update:

-12/8 uploaded a new version that fixed a bug involving long path names with spaces.

Also added a check for success and then delete the original apk. (backup your apks just in case).

Remember to set the path to the ApkRename folder in rename_single.bat once before using it.

Any plans for making an Android version of this to run on our devices?
[Android Apps and Games] phsorx:
Future plans for an on-phone version of the APK Rename Tool

Yes! Certainly. Its in the plans. :)

But firstly there are a few things to be fixed on the desktop version first. See road map section of the howto.txt file in the archive. :cool: The most burning issue is the so called overwrite issue that I want to be sorted out next. Say you have two copies of the same app (same name, label, versionName) but one of them has a patch against it (because its been modded by a reverser) than one of the copies will overwrite the other (ApkRename 1.10).

Secondly on a mobile device's SD card there is usually less space than on a desktop's hard drive. This implies that APK Renamer will actually have to rename the files in place instead of creating a copy of each in a separate folder. Or at least it will need to figure out the empty space left on the device, and if its not enough to hold the copies, it should offer in-place renaming instead. Not a lot of logic to add but still...

Having all the outstanding questions be figured out on the desktop still, will allow me to implement a more established version for the phone right from start. But hold still its not going to take very long :p

Bests,

I'm feeling like an idiot because I'm the only one that couldn't get it to work :(

So I have this weird file that goes something like 382974c-32-a3ks.apk. I put it inside the Input folder, and then clicked on "ApkBatchRename.Bat". The cmd tool appeared briefly and disappeared. But there's nothing in the Output folder...am I doing something stupid again?

I'm on Windows7 x64...
[Android Apps and Games] phsorx:
Re: nubicurio

Hi!

Did you click the

ApkBatchRename.Bat

or

ApkRename.Bat

?

(Should click ApkBatchRename.Bat!)

ApkBatchRename.Bat

accepts no command line arguments. You can run it by simply clicking it. This is the file supposed to be executed, and it will do the job. What it does is it searches through the input folder and its sub folders for *.apk files and invokes ApkRename.Bat with the appropriate command line arguments on it. After all iterations it will prompt you for a key press prior exiting.

ApkRename.Bat

on the other hand does need command line arguments. Simply clicking it will briefly open the command dialog, scroll the help message and close. (Like you said.) The best way to invoke ApkRename.Bat (if you definitely have to) is from the command prompt. To get a command prompt on Windows 7 click start and enter cmd into the search box in the start menu. ApkRename.Bat will show a short help explaining what arguments it takes. ApkRename.Bat will work on one file at a time only. It is ApkBatchRename.Bat that does the recursion for him.

Hope this helped.

phsorx

PS: Make sure your apk file is a

valid zip file

though! All apk files are actually zip archives with multiple files in them. If you cannot open your apk file in a zip file manager such as 7zip or winzip that means your package file is corrupted. In such a case Apk(Batch)Rename will not work either, because it starts by opening the zip archive to pull the Label and Version information. Did you try with other apk's as well?

PS2: I haven't tested the tool on Windows7 x64 yet though. I'll too have a look if that could be your issue. Nubicurio confirmed the tool works on his x64 machine. Thanks Nubicurio!

Hi zack_sparrow! Good for you! :D However I don't see how this relates to the thread. :confused: Just to make things clear, remember ApkRename is not a backup tool. Its sole purpose is to uniformly rename your bucket load of garbled named apk's scattered in several sub folders using their Label name & Version info right on your PC's hard drive in a human readable fashion; so it won't give you headache next time when you want to find something. No backup. :rolleyes:

The functionality of this release is exactly the same as the ApkRename 1.10 Windows release's; hence the same version (1.10). New features, such as options for other naming conventions recommended by britoso will be added later. Probably in a bundled release.

It might have been duplicate input apps. Only one copy is kept in output folder. Read known issues and roadmap section of howto txt. A new version is under way and will be released very soon that will save duplicates separately with an extra .1 .2 .3 ... .n extension; so if you throw 500 files at it, you will exactly get 500 files back and it will be up to you to sort out or dispose of duplicates.

For the interest of the (few (remaining)) Norton users out there:

Binaries are bundled to help ease of use. That is, to get this thing work "out of the box" w/o the need for separately downloading all dependencies.

If you feel uneasy to use the binaries bundled and located in the tools folder, you may download them separately from their original sources. For this very purpose I added a note in \tools\binaries.txt with all the original URI's I got the binaries from. :cool:
