Ok, I'm using the Zenexp Rom and I do a clean wipe, wipe dalvik 3x and reboot into recovery then I pick my Rom from the SD. From there I don't see the list of what you mentioned. I'm sorry if is driving you crazy, but I do appreciate your feedbacks.

I don't know which recovery build I am on, being that I'm a newbee. I have to step out for a bit and I'll be right back. thanks again.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosteddroid:
when you go into recovery and your on the main screen, somewhere on that screen will be your image build....
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny quest:
I checked on google how the image screen looks like and my screen does not have those options. I think its because I don't have the actual original system backup. I always have to load a rom in order for my phone to work.

this is a screen shot of somebody elses but its the same looking screen I have:

ive never worked with clockwork recovery but it looks like there is a partitions menu, you should be able to click on that and do your step by step instruction there...

Oh ok, thanks anyway. I've tried every angle on that menu but not able to do it. The partition menu just takes me to the "mount" "unmount" and "format".

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You want to choose Format.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny quest:
someone told me to use Rom Manager and do the partition that way. I bought the app a while ago and never used it. should I do it this way or should I just do the Amon instead of the Clockwork? what will it do for my Roms?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It doesn't matter one way or another which one you use to format your SD card. The only thing it will do for your ROMs is if your ROM supports Apps2SD (not the Froyo-native A2SD), or you can flash/add Apps2SD to your ROM after the fact (some you can't), then you can have even more apps because ALL of your apps will be on the Ext3 partition on your SD card. Note that Froyo has problems with partitioned SD cards under most typical circumstances, so if you want that, then search for a thread (probably in the first three pages) in the Eris Dev forum about partitioning your SD card for Apps2SD use under Froyo.

In case you don't know already, the difference between native-Froyo Apps2SD and the other is that Froyo lets you move individual apps to your SD card, your SD card doesn't need to be partitioned at all (just one big FAT32 partition like normal), but some apps don't support being moved to the SD card, whereas the other Apps2SD, every single app can and WILL be on your SD card whether you like it or not.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny quest:
Thank you so much for your info. I will work on this and play around with it to get it right.

You're welcome! Good luck.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny quest:
ok, I managed to put Amon's RA and able to use the partitioning menu. I got that so far. Now, I have an issue when I reboot I have an icon on the top left hand corner, when I drop down the menu its telling me that the SD card is safe to be removed. I don't get it. I want to hook my phone up again to my computer to load the rom I wanted but its not reading the SD card. I can't flash or load a rom cause its not reading the card or any zip files.

did I do something wrong? Please help. thank you.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Is the ROM that you are using Froyo-based or 2.1-based?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny quest:
The Rom I'm using right now is the Energyexpress. *update* I just formatted my sd because I had a copy of it on my computer and installed the Zenexp. But I still can't get the apps2sd going with this rom.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Okay, is Zenexp Froyo-based or 2.1-based?

And yes my RSA keys are tossed I believe I am currently running a rom that doesnt have 4g anyway ...Ultimate Droid 2.3 but will flash to another Rom with working 4g If I can fix
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conflikt:
Isn't that one of the down sides of flashing the new hboot? I believe in the post is states that hboot will and can delete your keys if you use a recovery such as clockwork. As to a fix I am not sure, haha prob when cyanogen mod team codes it from scratch.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conflikt:
Also look at the q/a in the post for hboot. It tells u things to try if 4g is possibly broken and how to fix it. Although it sounds as If u tried other roms with no luck, and if you used a recovery that wasn't in the post u might be **** out of luck. Id do the key test under the post and ask in the hboot post itself. Worst case, u could unroot using the guide and take it into sprint saying your 4g isn't working. I belive from other posts if it is unrooted and 4g isn't working then Sprint will give you a replacement for free if the techs cannot fix the problem.

Hope everything works out for you.

I am also an extreme newb too and I also just purchased my g-tablet today. I'm wondering if rooting is necessary before installing tnt-lite?

No rooting is necessary beforehand. Installing any of the custom firmwares will give you root, the android market, etc. I've only personally used TnT Lite, which I can confirm has this stuff (including live wallpapers).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaufosheau:
I have a Samsung Captivate and I accidentally deleted the sd (at least that is what i think it was called) folder. How do I get it back? If I just create a new folder that says 'sd' will it still save things onto my internal sd card?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
It depends what OS you are running.

2.1 used /sdcard for internal and /sdcard/sd for external

2.2 moved these directories under /mnt but left the old directories empty
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bshend:
Does anybody know what to do if the sd folder is deleted?

I noticed I had an 'sd' folder and an 'external_sd' folder. The sd folder was blank, so I deleted it after I viewed it on my pc - there was nothing in it. It didn't seem to be needed. But now I can't view certain files on my phone only. I can view them on my laptop via USB connection using Windows Explorer.

To attempt to find this folder on my phone, that I CAN see on my laptop using Windows Explorer, I created a txt file in that folder (that I can't find on my phone), naming it 'sdmissing.txt'. I searched everywhere on my phone, even from root directory, trying to find this file and couldn't. Yet after connecting to my laptop via USB, I can see it. What can I do??

Thanks in advance for any help!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorgy76:
backup important data and apps with tibu or any other apps in the market and perform factory reset with your phone it should bring you back to where you are.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krips2003:
Turn off and on ur phone to see if it works for you or not. I found that sd is a hidden folder and its blank. When I flash custom roms, I do it without going to stock. But, I do delete Android, data, sd and some other folders, that I know will be automatically created after the reboot/flash. When I go to cwm recovery to install rom from zip, I do see the Android folder and sd folder showing up there. Don't panic. Just do normal shutdown and restart. If that doesn't fix, reflash the custom rom if you are using one.

[Epic 4G Accessories] thephawx:
I prefer this back the most. Just so it's entirely even.
[Epic 4G Accessories] bitbang3r:
From what I've seen, Seidio's "3000 mAH" probably has more real capacity than the eBay "3500 mAH" batteries. Seidio's ratings are a little more conservative than most.

The problem is that the battery life you and I will see is determined by both capacity AND the battery's ability to deal with high loads. A lithium battery can supply more total milliamperes for more hours if you're drawing a tiny load than if you're sucking down power like there's no tomorrow. Two batteries that seem to allow you to draw "3500mAH" when you're drawing 1mA might appear to be very, very different when you jack the load up to 100mA, and one that's nominally smaller might actually last 10-25% longer than the larger battery at the higher load.

Right now, there really isn't any good, objective, tamper-proof and relevant standard for rating batteries. It's kind of like the way cheap amplifiers get rated as "PMPO", and expensive amplifiers get rated as "RMS, at X% THD". Even a single-chip amp can probably output 500 watts of power for a millisecond at 100% THD before the chip melts, but an amp that can output 500 watts at .1% THD all afternoon is going to cost quite a bit more money. What's missing from the battery industry spec is the "load" part of the equation that tells you how much current was being drawn when that rating was determined.

Oh, also... I might be imagining things, but it looks like they might have actually liked my idea of making the top layer of the battery overflow the stock battery's footprint to squeeze in a bit more battery capacity in the same thickness :)
[Epic 4G Accessories] johnsongrantr:
on sale now... 69.99
[Epic 4G Accessories] Restola:
This will make the phone .86" thick, compared to the stock .55". I had the sedio 3500mah on my incredible which made it .7" thick and that wasn't a problem. I'd love to see some feedback on just how huge a .86" phone feels in your pocket, the picture makes it look gigantic.
[Epic 4G Accessories] TWO515TY:
Can't testify to any actual dimensions, but I do know that I saw a guy with a Seidio battery on his EVO and to me, it actually felt better with the extra size and weight from the battery. It didn't make his EVO seem extra bulky or anything like that, and I think that should be the case with this battery for the Epic.

I want to get this battery, but 2 major things are stopping me:

1. The price is $70. Hrm...between the cheaper extended battery options and the cheaper spare batteries, it's hard to justify $70 for the Seidio battery, especially if the other cheaper batteries seem to last long enough.

2. There's no case for the back - this is the more important reason for me...I can get over the cost of the battery if it's worth it, but how do you protect the back of this thing? And if I leave the top half of my case on, then my phone will look extra ugly and ghetto. They need to make a case and/or more rugged battery cover for those of us that don't want to carry our phones fully or half naked.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Quicksand Jesus:
IMO a real man lets his phone go naked.

Seriously, I've never used a case for any smartphone. Never had a problem either. But I do carry TEP on every device.
[Epic 4G Accessories] brianbrain:
To address your issues:

1) The price is $56 with 20% off coupon code "XMAS20" (without the quotes). I think that's very reasonable, especially when you consider the stock battery with charger is $50 from Sprint.

2) Seidio always end up making cases for their extended battery backs. The back to this unit is best looking one I've seen out of the extended batteries thus far, and give it a month or so and I'm sure there'll be a case you can purchase as well. I personally prefer leaving my phone naked :)

...yes, I did just order one. $56 well spent, I say - but we'll leave the final decision for when I actually get it and put it through proper use.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
Please test the battery to figure out the real world mAh from the battery. I am very interested. If its anything like other Seido extended batteries, I expect it to be around 2450 mAh in reality.
[Epic 4G Accessories] J31Rob:
Any input?
[Epic 4G Accessories] TWO515TY:
Well you've sold me...if they come out with a decently priced battery+case combo, then I'll definitely go for the Seidio option. As far as I see, none of the other extended batteries have any case options.
[Epic 4G Accessories] dennistpm:
I just ordered the extended battery and the separate battery charger. Thanks for the Coupon Code. As far as Seidio making cases for their extended battery backs, I've found this isn't the case at all. I bought the extended battery for the Treo 800w and also the HTC Hero and they never came out with an Innocase or anything else, for that matter, for either, although they said they would.

Another option that I've used for the Seidio extended battery is www.mobilecity.com. They had the Hero battery for $20 less than Seidioonline. Right now they list the Epic battery for $59, but the Coupon Code beats that price right now. As of today they don't have it in stock yet. http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=26868

Does anyone have the Seidio extended battery? If so could someone post pictures of the thickness? I'm interested in the seidio battery because i don't like just having 1 hump on the battery case like the 2800 extended battery available on ebay. Plus seidio is known to have awesome extended batteries. If the phone is given a horrible thickness i'd totally buy it. Anyone with the 2800 have a hard time texting or using the game gripper for playing roms? Is it comfortable?
[Epic 4G Accessories] Toast95135:
Going off a rough measurement its barely thicker then an Epic with a Seidio Innocase on (about the thickness of a quarter).
[Epic 4G Accessories] saintirish:
I have the 2800 one. It is fine for texting. It definitely adds to the weight of the phone. I don't have the game gripper, but I can still play the racing games just fine. Well, I haven't gotten very far in the game, but I chalk that up to my poor gaming skills to begin with.
[Epic 4G Accessories] juanaraya92679:
Are there any facts that show the cheaper 2800-3000 batteries on ebay are not as good seidio's batteries??? I don't wan to buy something cheap that doesn't last very long.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
There is not that I know of. Seido might last a few more charge cycles, but the 3500 mAh battery that I bought and tested here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=864638

is the same thickness, has a true mAh rating around 2800-2900 mAh and works perfectly well with the game gripper. You can also buy these batteries for 12 dollars shipped, so even with the Seido coupon you could have 5 of the 3500 mAh batteries for the same price. And the Seido battery isn't going to have 5 times the cycles than the 3500 mAh ones.

Also, this Seido battery will have a real life rating of around 2400 mAh, if its anything like previous Seido extended batteries.

batteryboss.org
[Epic 4G Accessories] juanaraya92679:
Based off cosmetics do you think it would be more comfortable having the entire case thicker like the seidio battery case? or is the 3500 mah comfortable enough? Also does it feel odd in your pocket? This is a hard decision for me. Maybe its just me but I like buying the good brand because of the name but the cosmetics of the seidio just look nicer to me than the one you have. This is a tough decision. :( I understand the battery life but now its all up to looks and feel. hmm.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
I use a holster, and it fits, although snuggly. The Seido one would fit as well most likely. I like that the instant I grab the phone now, even in the dark, I can tell which way to orient it, because there is a ridge on the back where the thickness of the back goes down.

In the end, it doesn't really matter at all. What difference does it make if the back is uniform or bulgy on one end only. The point is the battery and the increase battery life.

[Epic 4G Accessories] Sh0wNuF:
Just an fyi for those interested in purchaing this, I was at bustbuy today and they carry these now...its not branded seidio on the case but the battery does say seidio on it..just bought it for $69.99 there and I'll post results as soon as I can
[Epic 4G Accessories] x.data:
ive had mine for 3 days now and can say on a typical day where my batt would be around 50% when i get home (with some charging when in in the office) now im around 70% w/o charging when i get home.

back of the case feels flimsy when holding it in your hand at first, but once you get it on properly (which was a PITA to do, and requires more force than i was comfortable using at first) it feels good. slightly heavier and looks alot thicker when its sitting on a surface, but doesnt feel as thick in pocket/during use.

i was also coming from using a hard rubberized snap on case so the thickness difference wasnt too much, as i wasnt used to the phone in its "naked" form anyway.
[Epic 4G Accessories] jsanta11:
Thanks for the pics...

[Epic 4G Accessories] Sh0wNuF:

I am glad to hear the results from all the larger batteries. I just someone would come out with a dock now that allowed for the extended battery use. I guess you have to make choices though. The dock keeps it charged so why use an extended battery right?
