Hey there. There is no Showcase forum so I thought I'd stick this here. I just switched to Android from the iPhone and I'm liking what I've discovered so far. I rooted right away and started working and experimenting with Android (of course, I'm somewhat nervous about a potential brick). Anyway, I had a few questions/concerns and I was hoping that those of you that are more experienced with Android could help me out.

1. Concerning ROM Manager: I tried to create a backup and failed due to and error: "failed to verify whole file signature." No idea what this means or how to fix it.

2. The one click lag fix will not work on my phone. I get an error about "no space left on device." However, I have 1.36GB on the internal phone storage and 6.27GB on the SD card.

3. My girlfriend got an HTC Desire and was able to download Mobile Banking for Android and Cut the Rope. Neither of these applications appear in my market interface. The mobile banking app appears in AppBrain, but when I try to load it from the market, it cannot be located.

4. I have an "update.zip" on my SD card and I've no idea where it came from. Can I delete it? Attempting to apply it in recovery mode causes an error.

5. One reason that I wanted to root was to unload the crapware Cellular South included with the phone. I have done this. I was an idiot and did not make any sort of backup of the phone in its orignal state. If I want to reset to factory settings from recovery mode, is this mistake (or any other that I may have made along the way) going to brick me? I had thought about a restore because it has been so finicky with the lag fix, backups, and market, but I'm afraid to do so. I am also concerned that I caused these issues with my inexperience and may like to start from scratch.

6. How in the world would I update to Froyo, and would I want to?

All help is appreciated!

[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] heybobitsme:
A buddy of mine is thinking about getting into the sticker business and hooked me up with a couple for personal use. Attached are a couple of pics of the medium one on my truck. It's just a little hobby of his, so far, and he's looking to make enough to pay off the equipment and supplies. Right now he's got three sizes and the small one almost fits on the Slide's battery cover, but fits perfect on his Evo.

He's probably just gonna start selling them on ebay or something, but I wanted to give everybidy a heads up. He's working on other designs as well, such as the Legend of Zelda wined TriForce.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] arayray:
Ask him if he can make ones to fit on the Slide, if so I defiantly buy some.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] heybobitsme:
I already did and he's working on it. The antennae are giving him a problem. :)

[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] fermunky:
Not to be a buzz kill, but can't he get in trouble for selling a branded logo?
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] heybobitsme:
He's well aware of that and researching it. I don't think it would be too difficult, considering all the places that sell them. The interesting thing is the majority are just reselling stickers whereas he is actually making them, so they can be made to order; to the limit of his cutter and printer.

Again, it's going to be an extremely small operation. Right now he's mainly practicing with known images and resizing them. He does plan to use original images once he gets his chops up.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] khanvict85:
if he has an artistic talent then i'd stick with making original graphics/logos and avoiding corporate brands or popular trademarks. all it takes is one complaint to ruin everything.
[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] SefEXE:
That is a nice quality-looking sticker, however.

I say... take requests and feign ignorance!

"Oh I didn't know this was an actual logo! He just asked me to make a sticker!"

Ok....update to Froyo succesfully using Kies...

I try to connect the phone to Kies...Kies recognize the phone, shows the phone memory, the sd card.... But when I use the Contacts widget, it says "no phone connected". If I click the contact button from the upper right corner, where Kies shows the phone, I get next message: other application is using the phone. Please close that application first.

Enybody knows why? I have to say one important thing; this problem appears after applying One click lag fix 2.2. Can I fix this problem?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilsener69:
Since I had a problem yesterday when trying to backup from ROM Manager, with the ongoing recovery Amon-Ra, I was the Desi who had no access to SD.

Following the tutorial to repair the brick USB, I got to read it again and from there I wanted to connect the PC and gave me a driver error, when it was installed with no problems so far, and I have root and s- off.

The fact is that I get an error installing the blututu driver "? and finally not just install the drivers so I have no access usb from windows.

Now the problem: I can not enable blututu from the configuration of Desi, I say start, I think a few seconds and then disconnect.

I tried to flash the radio, thinking that since it is the same chip that controls the wifi, 3g, blututuh, etc ... be solved and has not worked.

I do not know if you have something to do, but I notice that in settings has lost blututu device name. Do you know how I can fix this?

Hi, I don't know about phones, but on PC we have ram speed like 1666mhz, 800mhz and so on. So, what's the ram speed of the SGS?

I read somewhere, the minimum speed needed to fully utilise the 90mil/thread of our GPU is 10mb/s of ram speed? Correct me if I am wrong.

I would be willing to give it a thorough test if someone can build it as it should be.

[Galaxy 3 General] addicted2088:
Hey everyone.

I installed a leaked version of Froyo on my Galaxy 3 I5800. I'm using the hack to always install the apps on the memory card. However, only the main apks of the apps are being stored on the memory card. Any application data is still being stored on the internal memory. For example, installing Angry Birds takes 10 MB on the memory card, but also takes about 2 MB on the internal phone memory..

Apps2SD is a huge improvement, but still, if the data's being stored on the internal memory, I'm gonna run out of space some time or the other.

Is there a hack or something to make the phone keep even the data on the memory card? I've heard about Apps2Ext but not sure if that can be installed on my phone and whether it stores the app data on the EXT partition too.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy 3 General] TekkenLaw:
Android documentation says that even when app. is installed on SD card,

"The .apk file is saved on the external storage, but all private user data, databases, optimized .dex files, and extracted native code are saved on the internal device memory."
[Galaxy 3 General] nastyba:
May be that's better because program can run faster.. anyway you can solve it by creating of ext2 partition on your SD card and virtualy enlarge internal storage.

But I haven't found any manual how to do it on i5800.
[Galaxy 3 General] mizch:
Are there ext2 capabilities in the i5800's Froyo? I'm asking because 2.1 lacks them, much to my dismay. A Linuxish device with a closed file system (rfs) with no tools available (and FAT), erm...
[Galaxy 3 General] banahaw:
install move to SD first then choose the option Exteral SD.Anything you install from now on will be installed to the SDCARD but aware the widgets and programs that require root doesn't work well in the SDCARD together with home replacement program.Unless of course the app itself support installing to SD.:)
[Galaxy 3 General] nastyba:
this is what he did. But not everything will be saved to SD. This is the what he says.
[Galaxy 3 General] addicted2088:
Yeah, the APK file, that is the main package, is installed on the SD card. However, all the data that the application actually saves are usually on the internal device memory.

I have enabled Move to SD and set the install path to external, but it will still save application data on the phone memory. That is how Android is designed to work :(
[Galaxy 3 General] addicted2088:
Oh yes, I'm aware of all this. But still wanted to mention the point that the internal memory will always get used..
[Galaxy 3 General] nastyba:
you can extend your internal storage with your SD card, but you need to create ext2 partition on your SD card first and then <i>and this is the problem</i> explain to your i5800 to use this partion on SD card.

I've red many articles about it on HTC / SE phones where this method work. They say that the ROM must be customized, which haven't been done yet with our phone. The problem is, that the good programmers have Desire / or SGS and they do not care about the i5800
[Galaxy 3 General] mizch:
And this is where the problem starts: The i5800 cannot handle ext2, at least not with its stock roms. You're stuck with an exotic proprietary file system (rfs) for which no tools are available.
[Galaxy 3 General] nastyba:
may be one day there will be a custom rom which will allows it
[Galaxy 3 General] (•.•):
Is this problem allready solved?

Because my bro has problems with the little internal space.
[Galaxy 3 General] dhirend_6d:
Yes. For that you need to first flash a fugumod kernel. Then you can use Kyrillos' apptosd script from here. You need to use apptosd script v3 if you want your /data/data to be transferred to your SD. But script v3 works good only with class 6 SD card or higher. :eek:

Oh yes. You need to convert your data partition to ext4 and create an ext4 partition in SD card also. :D
[Galaxy 3 General] (•.•):
ok formating...

seems that i have here a class 4 sd card 8gb... damn it!
[Galaxy 3 General] mrn123:
I am currently on Kyrillos 6.1. If i create an EXT4 partition in my SD card, via CWM recovery, how can i move the apps which are already installed in my phone memory to that partition? Like if i use Titanium backup, then would moving the apps would go to FAT partition or the newly created EXT4 partition?
[Galaxy 3 General] dhirend_6d:
First backup your apps using titanuim backup. It will get backed up in SD card. Then copy the backed up apps and the rest of the stuff in your SD card to your PC. Then goto recovery, advanced, partition SD card. Create the required partitions. All data in SD card will be erased. Then in recovery only, wipe data. Then reboot. After that all the apps which you install will goto the ext partition that you created. :)
[Galaxy 3 General] mrn123:
Thanks Dhiren!!! I was just wondering whether there was any way to directly move the apps to the EXT4 partition which are already installed on phone memory..I shall try out as you said...
[Captivate General] rootmerootyou:
I tried Cog and didn't like it and so now I'm back on the leaked ODIN one click Froyo

What are the main disadvantages of running this build versus Eclair?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
There was an issues thread in the dev section when JI6 came out (that is the first leaked beta). it is stable, but had issues with email forwarding and replying not including the original email. There were other issues as well - I think BT sound was one of the big ones; and sound from wired headsets not working during a call.
[Captivate General] Phoenix-Lead:
There aren't any real disadvantages per say. You will lose the ability to update to Froyo when it is eventually released, but if you are like the rest of us on hear who the hell cares? That is why we love our devs bc they take that released Froyo, rip it apart and put it back together in a way that is so much better than the original. Other than that just read through the threads. Axura is the best ROM in my opinion. I have seriously tried them all and it is the fastest, smoothest and most appealing. Everything works on it as well. Even GPS if you have a later model phone.

[Optimus 7 General] A Dustman:
Hey there,

I'm having issues trying to sync my phone with my computer. When I connect my phone, nothing happens, Zune doesn't launch, and when I open it, it doesn't show my device as connected. I've tried everything I can think of, different USB ports, rebooting both the phone and my pc. I'm running windows 7 64 bit, and it was working before. Anyone know what's going on?

Thanks for the help!
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
I had a similar problem. Here is what I did to solve it. Close Zune. Disconnect Phone. Then connect again. go to device manager, and look under portable devices (if you do not see it, try to display hidden devices, perhaps), then uninstall the driver for the phone. Disconnect the phone again. Run Zune. Remove all profiles for any other phone or device that is on Zune. Then connect your phone, and Windows should recognize it, as well as Zune. Good luck.
[Optimus 7 General] A Dustman:
just tried that, still no luck. When my pc reinstalled the driver, it displayed the phone as "Microsoft USB Sync" which I thought was kind of weird
[G2 and Desire Z General] konoplya:
Ok so the OEM tmobile gel and plastic cases for the G2 are totally worthless. I've never seen a case made of such low quality and they want like 20 - 30 bucks for them.

i was curious to see if anyone bought anything good off ebay or elsewhere?

cheers
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkadesi:
Refer to the Accessories section in the G2 sub section of this forum. You will find bunch of cases.

Im using a G1 foam sleeve, fits perfectly
[G2 and Desire Z General] papeshfoo:
How can you say the T-mo gel is worthless? IMO, its the only one worth the money, and its only $16. It fits perfect, it feels good, and it protects GREAT.
[G2 and Desire Z General] keenerb:
I have both the gel case and the Bodyglove snap-on case.

I switch between them as the mood strikes me, but I'm somewhat more fond of the bodyglove case. The gel case adds somewhat more size to the phone and has a tendency to pull money/receipts/etc. along when I take it out of my pocket.

The bodyglove case is smaller, lighter, and allows access to the physical device buttons, whereas the gel case covers them and I find it sometimes difficult to hit the volume buttons, and exceedingly difficult to use the camera focus half-press.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sk17z0:
I have the Protective Hard cover. Its a all clear plastic case with kickstand. It looks really nice and is a pain to take off.
[G2 and Desire Z General] konoplya:
it just looks and feels cheaper than dirt. not worth 5 bucks in my opinion. i've just seen cheap cases for other phones and they feel and look by far better than the tmo one.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kgold708:
I run mine naked.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SoTacMatt:
LOL!

I have the Body Glove case. I like that it keeps it from slipping out of my hand or off the dash.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pak256:
I have the t-mo gel case (the thicker $18 one) and I love it. I work next to a cell phone accessory kiosk and none of the other cases even come close to the protection AND quality of the t-mo one. Yeah it sucks when you need to pull it out of your pocket, but that can be said of any gel case.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gwanatu:
I use the Maya case from Proporta. It's just a nice leather sleeve with a soft microfiber-like interior. I don't like having an actual case around my phone, but like to have it in the sleeve in my pocket to protect it from scratches and drops.

There is a nice body glove case w/out a clip and has a kinda disco pattern on it. Not bulky at all for being BG.

Picked one up on Ebay for $4 shipped and it fits great. Nice sleeve to protect the phone when its in my pockets from scratches. With a Skinomi screen protector on the screen, I know my phone is well protected.
[G2 and Desire Z General] equi_design:
I've got the Tmo metallic dark purple snap-on hard shell case. The stores were having (are still maybe?) a sale on accessories. I love the color more than I thought I would and it's definitely very good quality in my opinion. That being said, I wish it was a rubberized finish similar to the back battery cover of the G1, but I'll order a shell case like that soon.

I also made a "holder" for my G2 out of a Moleskine Memo Pocket (I left one pocket for my ID, credit cards, etc and cut the rest out carefully with an exacto knife then padded the interior with micro-suede). I just slip the phone in and it's protected from any other stuff rattling around in my purse. Or I can just add my ID and necessities for a quick carry-all.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
I have both the bodyglove and the $16 case. The bodyglove case which protects the back half of the phone is great. But, the other front half of the case's frame is too thin and not durable. If you remove the case about once a day, the snaps will give out or just not catch anymore. Also the cutout to the camera makes it impossible for me to fit my finger in and focus the picture before taking it.(hold half way down to focus). The $16 case is perfect for me. There are no cut outs to the volume toggle or camera button so it allows you to apply slight force to focus then a full press of the button to take a picture. Also the bottom base of the front half wraps around the keypad for a more secure fit.

Take a look at this video I made, fast forward to 4:06 where I did a quick rant of the bodyglove case. Linked below. You'll see the sides of the case started to spread apart and peel off. The $16 which I've had on longer than the bodyglove does not give me any of those problems.

So here's the deal, it feels like I can not get netarchy or kings to install on my phone no matter what. Unless the kernal is built into the ROM there is absolutely no way it is going on my phone. I always boot into the ROM, let it load up, reboot into recovery, wipe cache, and flash the kernal. Every time I do this with either of those kernals my phone will work fine for 5 minutes then start going into random reboots. Is there something special that I am not doing? I'm not a noob, have been a flashaholic since July. I just need to know if its my phone because I am seriously getting tired of it. Kernals I can use with no problem are any cm6 or ziggy kernal. I find this whole thing really bizarre.
