Even if i move apps to the SD(using Manage Applications > Move to SD), there are still some kilobytes that go into internal storage.

so right now i'm at 15megabytes left on my htc desire's internal storage. even though all the apps that i can put on SD is stored on SD.

So is there a way to fully move an app to the SD without storing anything to the internal storage space?

Another question is, is there a way to put apps onto the SD that normally won't function if it's not on internal storage and still have it functioning.(i put swype on SD, to save space. but everytime i reboot my phone, i will have to re-enable swype. then set my default keyboard to swype. i do this to save some megabytes off my internal storage, even though its a hassle to do this everytime i reboot)
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
You are talking about the froyo apps to sd, this topic is about A2SD+.

A2SD+ or DATA2sd is what you need, i would recommend to install a custom rom with A2SD+ (most custom roms just name it A2SD). Just find a rom that requires a ext partition.
[Desire General] p3eps:
cool... thats what I was looking for. Thanks
[Desire General] Hilarium:
i'm running cm6, is there any way to get A2SD working without having to flash a new rom? or should i wait for cm 6.1, becuase it supports a2sd?
[Desire General] madd0g:
Flash this DT a2sd+, the link is also in the nightly thread. I used it on 6.02 and on the current RC2 with no problems. Note: it doesnt move dalvik cache to SD automatically, if you want that, do it manually after flashing.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DiabolicBoy:
Hi Guys!

I have already checked this post and it has not helped me a bit.

Here is what happened, I was installing the MileMIUI on my device using the Nandroid method. Everything was going fine until it rebooted after the restore. After reboot the screen is stuck at the M Logo.

I can access recovery so I so I tried Wipe Partition and Factory Reset, does not work.

I tried using RSD Lite, it identifies device (although does not show any information) it starts flashing but while rebooting it again gets stuck at the M Logo so RSD lite is of no use.

Please help me with this, is there anything I can do?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] pyramis:
You could try to format the card... repartition it, then start the flash again.

Do backups of your data etc, and btw you could also try the flashing with RadioComm software which in many occasions proved to be more stable than RSD Lite and it is more advanced
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DiabolicBoy:
Thanks will try RadioComm.

This may sound idiotic, but I had thought that maybe I can download another updated.zip file on my SD card and then install it on my phone from the recovery. Can it work? Or can anyone help me out with a Nandroid backup?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lapy:
total wipe + flashing another update.zip (cyanogenmod recommended) with latest Open Recovery 1.46 (androidiani ORmod recommended) will help for sure ;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DiabolicBoy:
Can you please help out with a step by step guide?

Like where to start and where to end.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DiabolicBoy:
Thanks for all the help!

Anyone faces this, here is the solution or what I did:

Format the SD Card.

Install ADBRecovery.

Run Update.zip.

Create Nandroid Backup.

Download and Copy MotoFrenzy in Nandroid Folder.

Run Update.zip.

Restore from Nandroid.
[General Questions and Answers] phoenixcrow:
Hello all,

I'm having a devil of a time with this one. It's probably been answered before, but there are so many threads and responses on here. Perhaps some of you can save me a lot of time and effort here?

I have an HTC Wildfire with the nightly build of Cyanogenmod. Everything's fine, except that the wallpapers (even the stock cyanogenmod ones) are all grossly oversized, showing only a small part of the image, which is all pixelated and blurred of course. Any new picture I've put on there has the same effect. Even resizing one to recommended defaults for the screensize using PS only does the same thing. I've tried setting the crop from the gallery to the full size of the image, but that doesn't work either.

I have the scrollable wallpaper option turned off in ADW as well. I just can't find ANYTHING to simply have a nice image sized properly on the background of the screen. It simply seems that the mod won't scale the image properly. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] reuthermonkey:
Lol... Sprint tv and tmotv are the same thing. They're both rebranded mobitv. You can install sprinttv if you want, bit since your phone isn't on sprint's network, you won't suddenly get mobitv for free...

Hi there! Is it possible to install an App and reject certain permissions?

E.g: an App wants to read/write my contacts, although there is obviously no need for it (e.g. a cookbook App)?

I know it's not possible out of the box, but is there a program like, say "superuser", that is able to block only certain permissions on installing an App? Of course with the possibility that this App will not work correctly then...

Like a virtual machine: you can install and test everything within it, while not giving it access to the host.

Is this something that isn't even possible because of the structure of Android? Or is it possible but no one made it till now? Or does it already exist and i am too dump to find it? ;)

Hi

i have been a very long time HTC user i had a Gene & Jade(both wimmo) and i do have a Tattoo i recently got my Galaxy 3 and i wanted to share my experince with this phone Viz HTC and wanted to also know what the others feel thats all

Here goes

1. not too happy with the battery is seems to be giving me less life than the

other Phones i have used only around 1 1/2 days and now my use is much less than it used to be :)

2. the touch screen i feel is not all that smooth as my other phones

3.and doing simple things like wiping ur phone hard reset seem to be a little

difficult it was much easier on my old phone ie i mean no codes bla bla:confused:

4. wifi connection is not too good on my other phone at home i get full wifi bar connecting to my home wifi on this phone i just seem to get 2 bars

and im talking about just about 10 feet away from my wifi modem that all

5. and Mobile internet this phone to my knowledge does not have a way to disconnect the mobile date i had to use the APNdroid to keep it off on my other phones i can long press the end call key i will get a pop up and i scroll down and make sure that it is off this is not their on this phone :(:mad:

6. Flashing well im crazy about flashing my phone and i love to do it

a. i dont see any cooked roms for this phone

b.using the Odin seems to be a little confusing for me on my tattoo i just need to put the Rom on my SD

go to the recovery and flash from SD this i think is not possible on this phone or is it :confused:

on the win mo phone it is just using an app called costume RUU i just need to put the NBH file in that connect my phone to PC and do what the app says and bang i got my new rom flashed

[Galaxy 3 General] Saka911:
great phone! earlier I was thinking about the low res screen and low grade cpu and thinking that perhaps better I should have gone foe optimus one or X8 but there are beefits of getting a samsung like the fantastic audio quality, and good video player

The cpu is enough for daily use , while the screen is one of the best 240 x 400 units I have seen, Just compare it with Wildfire to see what I mean
[Galaxy 3 General] doritos93:
Its important to consider the price when evaluating this phone. I got mine for 25 CAD.
[Galaxy 3 General] precurse:
Same.. I paid $210CAD with no contract for mine - New.

For a phone running Android 2.1 with nearly all the same features as the $500-$600 phones, I couldn't pass it up.

Sure, it doesn't have the same size or resolution screen, but it's a decent size and the swype feature works regardless of how small the screen is.

Overall very impressed with this phone.
[Galaxy 3 General] nastyba:
I think LG OO is for the same price and you will get better GPS (Qualcomm), much better display (similiar to i3gs), RAM 512 Mb which means 2x more (faster), and no customization.

I think for 200 euro you can buy better phone. I don't understand how can Samsung release one device for more then 200 € with so much bugs :))

issues with wifi, gps and display ?? why this resolution ?? Only one advantage is the google's android but I do not use any of samsung applications or widgets.

Many cheaper phones have better screen resolution.
[Galaxy 3 General] haree:
hi

that is what i did and on comparing the specs looked really better but some how i dont feel the power of the much higher CPU

but Yes this audio if far far better than any HTC phone i have used Yes i do agree to this :D:D

this was the real reason why i got this phone and not the Wfire on paper it had better specs and better price than he htc WF :D:D

thanks

[Galaxy 3 General] precurse:
Yeah, the LG OO didn't come out till over a month or two after I got my Galaxy 3 (It's $50 cheaper too).. Kinda sucks, but oh well.

I've had a lot of problems with LG phones - my friend's LG Eve is a piece.. They refused to upgrade to Android 1.6 even - stuck on 1.5.. the community had to release 1.6 and 2.1/2.2 for it since LG wasn't. The screen on that phone looks wayyyy nicer than my Galaxy 3..

Having said that, I'd still prefer a phone that's getting updates - at least it shows they're somewhat trying. Plus the bugs I have either have work-arounds, or are pretty minor.
[Galaxy 3 General] nastyba:
Are you sure about "fantastic audio quality"? Anyway I use earphones or external speakers, my old nokia e56 had much better audio output. I think this 240x400 is one of the worst. LG OO has much better resolution and many cheapers phones too. If they leave the resolution as on galaxy spica and it has 512 Ram, then it's superphone. But not with samy firmware. LG didn't change anything with android and I think it's much better.

I don't use their TW because it's not stable with app2sd, and without app2sd it has only about 170Mb space for your applications. Thanks to JP9 I can use app2sd + I use LauncherPro and many other applications which make this phone usable and stable.

Who did realeased JP9 ?
[Galaxy 3 General] nastyba:
consider also your time that you have spent by fixing samy issues :)

I hope this resolution will not broke my eyez :( first hours of using this phone I had headake :(
[Galaxy 3 General] nastyba:
I agree with you, I've heard also many issues about LG, but consider about this i5800 firmware. Have you ever seen a phone where wifi, gps etc... doesn't work ? That users must root the phone and fix it ? As far as I remember, I used to have xperia, nokia, HTC - but everything was working what was in specification of the device. Why they just didn't leave the lcd resolution of gala spica ? And LG have qualcome GPS processor and 2x RAM
[Galaxy 3 General] precurse:
My 8330 curve had GPS problems. A LOT if I remember correctly..

There was a special hack that needed to be done in order to fix it.

We'll see how they fix the GPS problem.. I really don't see Google allowing Samsung to screw up the GPS on their new Nexus though..

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vincent*C:
First, many thanks for providing a way to upgrade the Galaxy S to Froyo.

It is much appreciated, despite the strange situation I am now in.

My first reason to get this phone was to have a good way to connect my laptop to the internet when I go abroad.

My Galaxy S is locked on T-Mobile. It came with Eclair and Mobile AP worked perfectly.

Since the update, it does not work. I am glad that it solved the missing Flash issue, which was frustrating. But Mobile AP was just as important to me.

Is there a known fix???

I also cannot get Kies to work on that laptop, so it means I cannot use USB tethering. But the one I really need is Mobile AP.

When I launch Kies on this computer it takes ages to start and there is an error message:

"Failed to initialize services: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {7A1A13F5-B96B-492A-B591-D7526E0B3013} failed due to the following error: 80080005."

Then it cannot detect the phone. It works fine on my main (desktop) PC so it(s not due to te phone.

Still, Mobile AP is the big one.

And if I cannot fix that, what do I do to go back Eclair? It's a T-Mobile phone that was upgraded to Froyo using the Kies Registry Patcher.

Simple please? I am into technical stuff but phones are NOT my area at all, I am an AUDIO guy.

[Nook Color General] mitnits:
I can install a different keyboard (SmartKeyboard Pro in my case) - but can't seem to activate (usually android setting menu needs to be ticked to allow new input method - and Nook does not seem to expose that menu)

Any clues or sqldb commands to tweak this are welcome.
[Nook Color General] myuzi:
Hey, I managed to load SmartKeyboardPro on mine.

Here are the steps I did:

1. Rename smartkeyboard apk to: LatinIME.apk

2. Put this apk on your SDCard

3. Use RootExplorer, or another file manager with root access, and move the LatinIME.apk out of system\apps.

4. Make sure you save the system LatinIME.apk in case you want to revert back to it.

5. Now copy your renamed LatinIME.apk to system\apps and long press on it to install.

6. You may have to reboot a few times and try reinstalling the renamed LatinIME.apk a few times for it to work.

It took me a few reboots to get it to work.

Good luck.
[Nook Color General] golfprorm:
Your instructions for installing Smart Keyboard Pro worked for me. Just had to install the English dictonay for it and I was good to go.

One note, you can get to the Smart Keyboard Pro settings by long pressing on the ?123 key. You can then customize it to your liking.

I miss the haptic feedback, but the sound feedback works just fine.

[Nook Color General] louiedawg:
did u do anything in particular to enable it? what did u name the english files? i rebooted too many times to count and installed 3 times. no dice tho.
[Nook Color General] antoniouslj:
I just dropped the keyboard apk's into the system/app folder, changed their permissions to rw-r--r--, and then removed latinIME.apk (i did back it up first of course). When I did that, Android seemed to panic but after a reboot both keyboards were available through keyboard manager.
[Nook Color General] French.:
When I change the permissions they don't "stick".

Hmmm...interestingly enough I also can't seem to copy anything into the system/app folder, even though I do have superuser (using Root Explorer).

ETA: Turns out my issue was the version of Root Explorer I was using...I found one that works correctly and allows me to mount as RW and now things are working.

So anyone managed to get Swype installed? I installed SmartKeyboard pro but I really think this keyboard would work better one handed with swype.
[Nook Color General] daveknights:
I hate to be that guy but does anyone have an original NC backed up LatinIME.apk?

[Nook Color General] califrag:
I got the Droid X multitouch keyboard working - it allows you to hold 'shift' while typing a capital letter :)
[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:
My Permission changes aren't sticking either. What version of Root Explorer did you finally use to make it work? I've got 2.12.2.
[Nook Color General] Nooter:
Thanks for the instructions!

I got the DroidX keyboard working, but the letters, as another poster noted, are kinda small. Not really a problem for me, since I touch-type, but I can see it being a problem when switching to the ?123 page.

I think we need a new thread to discuss the possibility of Swype on the NC. We are not allowed to post Swype APKs, but I think we're allowed to discuss its installation.

I've tried the LatinIME.apk procedure with Swype, but I consistently get "Installing..." then "Application not installed." I'm wondering if we also need libswype, as this thread mentions: goo.gl/5ag4q

post #8
[Nook Color General] Ben74:
i have both swift keyboard and smart keyboard trial working on my NC. this method doesn't require you to overwrite LatinIME.apk. instead, it modifies the settings database in the same way that choosing the input method in the settings would in a normal android installation. as usual, i accept no responsibility if this messes up your nook. use at your own risk. obviously, your NC must be rooted first.

for smart keyboard trial: version 3.10.1 worked for me, but that's the only one i tried. maybe other versions will work?

$ adb install "Smart Keyboard Trial_v3.10.1.apk"
$ adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db

at this point, make a copy of settings.db as a backup!

$ sqlite3 settings.db
sqlite> update secure set value='com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME:net.cdeguet.smartkeyboardtrial/.SmartKeyboard' where name='enabled_input_methods';
sqlite> update secure set value='net.cdeguet.smartkeyboardtrial/.SmartKeyboard' where name='default_input_method';
sqlite> .q
$ adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
$ adb reboot

as a previous poster mentioned, hold down the 123 key to access the settings.

for swift keyboard: version 1.0.951 worked for me, but that's the only one i tried. maybe other versions will work?

$ adb install "SwiftKey_v1.0.951.apk"
$ adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db

at this point, make a copy of settings.db as a backup!

$ sqlite3 settings.db
sqlite> update secure set value='com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME:com.touchtype.swiftkey/.KeyboardService' where name='enabled_input_methods';
sqlite> update secure set value='com.touchtype.swiftkey/.KeyboardService' where name='default_input_method';
sqlite> .q
$ adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
$ adb reboot

for swift, hold down the microphone button to access settings.

this method might work with other keyboards, as long as you can successfully install the apk. note that the enabled_input_methods column is a colon separated list of available input methods. i got the proper strings for the input methods by examining settings.db on my android phone. hope this helps!

edit: if you want to revert back to the original keyboard, do this:

$ adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
$ sqlite3 settings.db
sqlite> update secure set value='com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME' where name='default_input_method';
sqlite> .q
$ adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
$ adb reboot
[Nook Color General] rabid_droid:
You can also just push over whatever keyboard apk into /system/app, and (after a reboot) the enabled_input_methods record will automatically update to include the new keyboard.

You'll still have to change the default keyboard manually through settings.db though as described in Ben74's above post. Just don't forget the where clause, otherwise you'll wind up rewriting every record in the secure table (I assume most of you aren't as careless as I am, but you never know :p ). Do a quick "select * from secure;" statement if you want to make sure you the changes you made are correct.

Alternatively, you can use the Keyboard Manager app described in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=860377. FYI, it works really well on the NC and allows you choose between different installed keyboards on a whim. (Only glitch is it will sometimes freeze the screen if the keyboard is up while changing orientation, but you can easily unfreeze it by going back to the previous orientation.)
