I can't use Gparted for reasons, is there another program that does the same that works with windows?
[Desire General] bmancell:
Anyone....really......come on....
[Desire General] Kneros:
MiniTool Partition Wizard (google it) works under Windows and can create ext3 partition SD Cards. It's the only one i found that actually works, and it's free.

As an alternative, you can instal ROM Manager on your phone and use it to create ext3 partition, although it's limited to 512MB.
[Desire General] bmancell:
Thanks for that application.

So I formatted my SDcard, reinstalled the rom and I still have only 114MB free, and 2GB missing from my SDCard now...WTF
[Desire General] Kneros:
Yeah, but data will be stored on ext3 partition so you will be able to install more apps. I now have 200mb of apps, and still have 40% free in internal memory.
[Desire General] garysargent:
The new Adobe Flash update increases the already ludicrous amount of space this app takes up on your phone. Was 10.96MB, now 11.29MB.

No Froyo move to SD. :(
[Desire General] bmancell:
Can someone please give me instructions from start to finish on how to do this because clearly I'm doing it wrong, I have 114MB internal free with fresh install.
[Desire General] Kneros:
Just install applications, you'll see they now take way less space in phone memory. You won't see that partition as available space.
[Desire General] bmancell:
Would still be nice to have instructions for next time.

And so your telling me there is no point to making a 2GB extra partition, since you can't move the apps fully over, that's what I thought, and this was a waste of time.
[Desire General] Evil_Cid:
Instructions can be found all over the xda forums...seriously its not that hard to find..u need a rooted phone, a ROM that supports A2SD and an ext2 or ext3 partition on ur sd-card.
[Desire General] bmancell:
Yea, these forums are bloated with topics and new posts every 5 seconds, its hard to find anything. And I found a tutorial or 2, obviously I did it wrong.

So a direct link, or a new step by step would be great. Everyone is acting like its easy, so shouldnt be hard to write a quick step by step or give a link..lol
[Desire General] Evil_Cid:
Okay....what ROM are you using? Stock 2.2 only supports Google's way of moving Apps (i.e. moving some of it and leaving the rest behind). Even with rooting, the stock ROM WILL NOT move everything to SD. So you need a new ROM which will support the A2SD feature.....so selecting a new ROM (even a modified version of the stock one) would be your first step. Make sure this ROM has support for A2SD or A2SD+....

Edit: If you do decide to make the "full" switch, it is recommended to S-OFF if possible.... I am fairly confident that you are following the right steps but the ROM isn't supporting it.
[Desire General] bmancell:
I am currently running your ROM, the Oxygen v2.0-RC6 Gingerbread ROM. And i dont know what S-OFF is. I am assuming a way to power off.
[Desire General] Evil_Cid:
Have you also got a custom recovery? like ClockworkMod (can be found on the Market) or AmonRa (i don't use this).... you will need one of them if you want to enable A2SD with Oxygen ROM. This is because the oxygen ROM, by default, writes app data into the internal memory rather than into any external partitions.

Basically once you create your ext3, you have to boot into the custom recovery and flash this:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2263716/dalv...2SD-signed.zip

and reboot..and that should do the trick.

That's the general summary of the steps. Read the link for more details on partitioning:

Link on SD card partitioning: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=910290

EDIT: Put simply, S-OFF (security off) allows you to install custom HBOOT image (such as the one I have..) which give you more space in you internal memory. Alpharev Oxygen HBOOT for example (HBOOT is the bootloader) gives around 337MB as internal space for your apps....which kinda makes EXT3 partitions unnecessary...

You have to be a bit careful with S-OFFing as newer Desire models have new security feature which makes it unsuitable to flash a new HBOOT. Read more about this here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853583
[Desire General] bmancell:
Thanks man, a bunch, that should do it. That is more info then I have had before.

Though the first link does not work..
[Desire General] Evil_Cid:
Oops...dunno what happened to the first link..... it was working until recently....

Just read the Oxygen ROM thread on that one (i.e. use the search button)....
[Desire General] diggedy:
provided youve rooted your phone, installed a ROM with a2sd included and partition your card properly then it should be working.

Its not unusual to only have 114mb after a clean install, depends on the ROM your using, each is different depending on if its sense or deodexed etc.

but seriously....

I mean seriously... instead of whining at the people helping you couldnt you have just done that?
[Desire General] bmancell:
Is the ext3 partition suppose to be primary or logical?
[Desire General] Evil_Cid:
Both FAT32 & EXT partitions are meant to be primary.....
[Desire General] bmancell:
One other thing, within Partition Wizard, I now have the 2 partitions, FAT32 and Ext3, but only one says its Active, if I try to set one to active, the other turns to None. Which one should be Active, assuming the FAT32 one.

And I am sorry, but I have like 20 tabs open with all different information on doing this, from one step to another, its over whelming.

SDcard is formatted. What is my next step. Flash the Oxygen HBOOT?
[Desire General] Evil_Cid:
Read this for flashing HBOOT:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794314

but before that read this...it's a warning:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853583

Flashing HBOOT requires data wiping and reflashing the ROMs afterwards, so be prepared and back up!!!
[Desire General] bmancell:
Why are everything LIVECDs.

I don't have any blank cds, can it be installed to USB?

And last time I did that, I tryed runnign Gparted from USB, it worked but didnt detect my phone, i would assume AlphaRev would have issues too...arrrgG

Also my phone says BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON....that's different from all the threads, they all talk about PVT4

Ignoring that, I am trying to flash the hboot with http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=882758 instructions, but i get to the part of entering fastboot flash...etc but it says error, can;'t load file...

Why is this is fraking hard!

And the whole thing, where the 2GB (size I want) partition isnt needed if you do one of the things that give 340MB or something of space, is confusing, i want more space then 340MB of course.

Basically, I thought I knew this stuff, I have done many things with phones in the past, but I am lost and confused. As you can see, I know I am annoying lol
[Desire General] diggedy:
which part of the HBOOT step are you at? have you wrote the image to CD or usb and booted into it on your PC?

this is the guide you should follow

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=805811

and this is where you get the images once your done

http://alpharev.nl/

dont forget to clear cache and reboot fastboot after writing the image for it to take effect
[Desire General] bmancell:
Thanks again man.

I am going to do that on the weekend. I will post back once that is done, if I figure out the next step or not ;)

Its a shot but have it sent to your current cell phone... When you get the SMS forward it to your email account... if you cant send email from your phone record the link and type it in in your tablet.
[G Tablet General] D. C. Rider:
I bought the same program from Handango when I first got my Gtab(before I modded it for market access). Installed it and it only shows up in portrait mode and in only about 1/4 of the screen. It is obvious it is not made for the Gtab. I contacted Handango and they refunded my money. There is a free Bejeweled on the market that works okay on the Gtab.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coldleftovers:
Hello all!

I'm a newbie here on the forum so forgive me if I ask a silly question...

I just got my Captivate from At&t for christmas and tho I love the device I do have a few issues I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me with. I've searched for answers for a while, and though I've found a lot of resources, I'm not quite sure what's the best way to achieve the results I want. I'm not much of a programmer so I'm hesitant to tear into re-coding anything, which seems to be fairly common with customizing the Andriod systems

1. - I purchased the OEM car mount, and tho it wasn't mentioned on the site, anywhere, I'm sure everyone is aware that the Audio Out on the mount doesn't work unless you're running Froyo 2.2 (a lovely note they decided to add on the back of the mount but not anywhere in the specs online).

Regardless, it's quite a nice mount and after researching online I tried to do the Froyo Update posted here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797282 : to get the audio out to work with the mount... however it wasn't a success.

I also came across the issue with this update that the headphone jack on my handset wouldn't work with phone calls anymore...

So since then I have reset my system to stock using the Odin Master Clear.

Now, I've tried searching online for anything about getting the OEM Car Mount audio-out to work... but have yet to come across anything besides people complaining about the cost.

Any ideas?

2. - I have noticed the stock system's GPS is a bit sluggish and not quite as accurate as I had hoped. I know there are tons of posts on here to fix it but most of the ones I've read require rooting the device or reworking the coding...

Could someone please point me to an easy to read reference for fixing the GPS?

3. - This may be simple but, what's the best and easiest way to remove At&t bloatware?

4. - Is there a hack or app to enable the camera shutter button to work off the power button or volume buttons?

That is about all. Thanks for reading if you've made it this far. I appreciate any help or direction anyone might be able to give me.

Like I mentioned earlier... I've been trying to research how to do these upgrades on my own, but with all the different options available, and my first attempt not working so well... I'd much rather ask for help then bumble around and break something.

Thanks in advance!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coldleftovers:
Nobody's got anything?

I'd at least think there'd be some insight on the Car Mount Audio issue... beings there's posts and posts of people complaining about it yet I haven't read of a ROM or tweak to fix it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smithisize:
So, as many of us know, most ROMs include different, whether entirely or only slightly, versions of swype. In my experience, I have far fewer swype glitches when I don't install my previous version of swype over the ROMs native w/ Titanium.

But, if I don't install it with Titanium, I lose my User Dictionary!!!!

Well, there are two ways about it: With Titanium Backup, or manually

Titanium

With Titanium backup, the backup procedure resumes as normal.

But, when you restore all apps and system data, make sure to uncheck swype, then proceed.

Once the restoration process is completed, once more go to Batch>restore apps and system data

At the top of this screen, you'll see 3 radio buttons : All Apps +Data, All Apps No data, All Data no Apps

Select All Data no Apps

Restore all, with swype checked.

User dictionary should now be in place and work with the installed version of swype

Manually (my preferred method, but more advanced):

Be familiar with ABD commands and using ADB!!! If you are not, I would recommend the Titanium method.

In command prompt, type the following : adb shell

Within shell, type the following: su

Then: cp -r /data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod/ /sdcard/

Your swype dictionary is now backed up to your SD card in folder /com.swype.android.inputmethod

To restore, make sure all of your Titanium backups have ran (Except for, obviously, don't install swype over the version included in the ROM)

In command prompt type: adb shell

Then: su

Then: cp -r /sdcard/com.swype.android.inputmethod /data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod

Kill swype (select different input method) then relaunch it and your User Dictionary should be loaded.

Regards

Smith

You can't use your old Swype dictionary for the new Swype beta. You have to start over. (According to the Swype website)

Edit: unless some clever individual has come up with a workaround that I'm not aware of.

[Epic 4G General] littlepr:
Guys,

What do you mean by better? GPS fixed with better battery life with snappy speed than when it was launched or are you refering to it being more reliable than DK28 leaked froyo?

You are def. Right. By the way I love your theme mystery. I've showed it to a lot of people that don't have epics and they all love it. Thank you for everything that you and to all the developers. Without you there wouldn't be a point in rooting our epics and we wouldn't know how.
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
Sorry I don't agree. 2.1 is buggy because Samsung doesn't have it set up right. DK28 runs smother, faster, and gps performs much better.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
I agree with the OP. GPS is the only real world improvement that the dk28 roms have brought me. I like to play games on my Epic, and the graphics performance is just not up to par compared to di18. I still get the occasional lag and jitter in the UI also. But I need gps for one of my jobs so I'm gonna keep running dk28 roms untill sprint drops the official froyo.

Im on my second dk28 rom ive actually had running for more than an hour, midNIGHT 2.6 w EXT4, and Im pretty happy with it. I have seen for a split second the checkering on the browser, i think, but I was wondering, is that just what the browser does when its having issues loading, i.e. an annoying, but normal issue? I did not like it on some of the early dk28's, but that was with a lot of other kinks that appear to be worked out. Also, has anyone who went back to di18 noticed the keyboard dropout issue??? I never noticed it myself, but as someone else had pointed out it may be software, I chalked it up to 2.1 builds... but I THINK i have noticed it, maybe 10 times, but could just be looking for any little thing and actually missing keys. Maybe I dont text-type as fast as others, idunno. Also, w my third epic (second a replacement that fc'd on everything, but was the most solid physically built ive held), I noticed that hardware quality varies a lot, I expected this with the slider, but maybe extends to the kb? Anyways, di18 feels stable, but I wonder if its just the feeling that it is 'official'...
[Epic 4G General] bigroof:
Good info. I've run quantum, bonsai (I prefer it leafless), midnight, ee all are amazing I just always find my self back at stock. Oh yea cyanogen nightly's are fun too.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
I've tried dk28 twice now with different roms and went back to di18 each time. Besides the gps "issue" di18 is the most solid phone build I've ever used.

Dk28 has the last.fm skipping, considerably bad keyboard lag/missed keys, captivate button lag, touches to the screen lag randomly.

Dk28 to me feels exactly like what it really is. A "good enough" leak, but it is far from polished.
