Hi guys,

currently I've been trying hard to get A2SD getting external partition for extra space on MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.4.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877777

My understanding is having an additional partition with ext partitioned will give you more internal space.

I've tried with other build where they say partition external hdd to ext4 and get no problem.. however does anyone succeed with MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.4?? i really need more space on the internal storage..

I've tried various ideas using clockwork to partition <= advance / partition.. dont work MDJ reported 280mb of internal space..

tried with apps like paragon magic or even boot to linux.

does MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.4 actually support external partition on the SD for additional space or no? if yes can some one help plsss.. I've been trying 4 days straight to get this working..

:eek:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Gushfevah:
Works perfectly here.

You say you've had the ext4 working on other builds no problem, load up another build & get it working, then go back to MDJs without doing anything to the SD card, do not reformat it. All your apps you loaded on the previous build will be there.

Worked for me great, I've loaded his ROM a couple of times this way trying other builds in between.

Hello All,

Me being a noob, I wanted to know what happen when I update a rooted phone. Am I going to keep all the programs and settings that I have? or everything is going to get erased and its going to be like I got a new phone and need to reinstall all the programs and settings? Or that everything is going to be kept, but will not work until the new update can be rooted, and when it is re-rooted, everything is going to be back to normal? I was thinking about the effectiveness of using the titanium backup if I'm going to update the phone and that the program needs root permission to work. Thanks for the help!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
make a backup?

re-root.

What should i use to.make backup?? Titanium backup? But i thought that program needs root to work
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:

I'm kind of a super noob to this phone ( and the smart phone technology).... so can you please elaborate on your previous reply? Thanks =]
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcforrest1:
if you have a rooted phone already just install Xrecovery by Z, search for it. that way you can just reboot when you see sony ericsson white letters, hit back button 11 times it will give you a bootscreen where you can do a backup. After you backup then you can update to a newer version if you choose too. once you update to a newer version, you then go back to xrecovery choose backup restore then advanced restore then select just the data folder it should restore all your apps etc..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roaringhere:
Thanks for this! I just backup my phone using this method! I did a backup using Titanium but this one is an extra precaution. Thanks! :D

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projectseahorse:
I just installed xRecovery Installer... and when I go into the xrecovery installer icon, and press install xrecovery, my phone asked for root rights, and after I give permission nothing happened... Is there going to be a new icon for xrecovery or its just a program that runs in the background and will not add an extra icon? Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projectseahorse:
When I update to a new version, my Xrecovery wont work until I root that new version too right? So the procedure should be update -> root -> then restore? I dont need to reinstall xrecovery or something right?? Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
Yes, you need to re-install x-recovery as well.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projectseahorse:
Will re-installing xrecovery after the update have any effect on the backup I did prior to the update? Wont the update delete my previous xrecovery and hence my backups? Sorry to bombard with questions, but I just need to make sure that I know what I'm doing. Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman_112:
No, it will not have an affect on your backup because that is stored in the Sdcard. So you should be good.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Underline1:
I've recently rooted my Nexus S, and eventually got Superuser installed. Although, I've noticed that whenever I use "adb shell" to send commands, it goes straight to superuser (#). I'm able to access normally protected directories (like /root, etc) without needing to use su. I also never get a notification whenever I use su because of this.

I'm currently using the Stock Nexus ROM (which I used ROM Manager to install after I used rootboot.img). I don't know if this is an actual concern or not but I just wanted to be safe- I really don't want everything to run as superuser.

Thanks for any help you can give me :).

EDIT: Oops I think this should be in the Q & A section. My bad- first time here :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikon8:
You installed the rootboot.img from Koushs thread? If so, that is an insecure boot.img so adb has root.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Underline1:
That was what I thought at first; but I thought installing a new ROM from ROM Manager would flash the boot partition, and would fix the problem.

Is there another image I could flash it with that would make it like stock?

Hi everybody,

A new input method now is on the google market - "Cellular input method".

It is based on Gingerbread input method but support from android version 2.2or higher. The point of this input method is to solve the problem of the tiny key on the softkeyboard on the touch screen. From the screenshot of the application you will understand how it works. By extending the width of key more than 1.4 times, the chance of mis-touch is lowered greatly.

Feedback is welcome.

Enjoy!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Foxhound.kl:
Can't see it bud... also, any chance of 2.1 compatibility?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] testerqwerty:
For android 2.1

It can be made. The problem is the speech-to-text engine code used in Gingerbread keyboard is 2.2 based. I had tried simply removing the speech-to-text and it worked on android. Now I published this verion to google market with the name Cellular input method(for 2.1).

Hi, people often will tell you that stock is an ideal starting point for flashing.

I wish is to ask is thee firmware version 2.1 update 1 considered stock?

Thank you
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
If you want a "complete" stock Rom, look for jfd. Ji6 is an upgrade Rom, and it's missing a file that jfd has, which allows the reparation option in odin to work.

If you want the base stock Rom, get jfd.

"if you amplify everything, nothing is heard"
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
JFD is an out of the box Rom and JI6 is the updated but it's still a stock rom.

The test was so perfect for 2.51.1

it's a Chinese com, so if you want to try, Pl refer to

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877058 (download Jboogie3's Froyo beta2)

1. use recovery to restore Jboogie3's Froyo beta2

2. before you reboot to system pl install Flash light fix.zip

3. reboot surely you can't so pl flash defy_2.2_boot_only http://pubftp.goapk.com/1026/defy_2.2_boot_only.zip withRsd4.9

4. Flash Camara fix. SBF with Rsd4.9

5. The signal is not stable now, so install ifunzbaseband switcher.apk, switch to European band!!

Feedback:

1. For the one whose Market didn't work, pl go & check settings-data-protect data-tick

2. For the one who had the Wireless and network access problem, you have to wipe and do the whole process again (I have a friend got you case)

3. The Fake signal bar, the signal is ok (settings-about phone-status) you would see -50dBm or so, that means your signal is good! Jboogie is working on that!

Don't work

Now your one is the perfect 2.2 very smooth and everything works fine!!!

By the way, Flash 10.1 works great in this rom!!

[Defy Android Development] rznag:
You are not alone. In every thread of the top4 in defy development every second or third post deals about this problem.

Some solutions seem to work for short time, for some they work and for others not.

I`m dealing with this problem since yesterday and tried a lot of possible solutions.

At the moment i just can wipe marketcache and marketdata and with luck i have 1 download before trying to wipe again because market stops working.

But no solution really helped.

If you add a second google acc, sometimes you can connect to google talk and also market works. Perhaps it works for you.

Solutions i tried:

-change androidid in database

-second google acc

-several wipes (factory, cache, marketcache, marketdata)

-market 2.2.11

-different combinations of the previous mentioned
[Defy Android Development] arthurlage:
market working

OK, i I get market working by performing a factory reset and creating a new google account. everything working ok now!

Hi. When I wake my Desire, the screen is blank. However, the 4 hard keys are lit up, and a tiny crack at the bottom of the screen is lit up. When I put my finger at the slide to unlock, there is a small vibration, indicating that the phone is responsive but not the display. Issue persists after taking out the battery and reinserting.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire General] dexter93:
You mean that your screen doesn't work at all, or at wake up only?
[Desire General] soyef:
I'm guessing that your screen is broken (not the touch panel, the actual screen) because mines dropped the other day and the same thing was happening so I replaced the screen and it works fine now
[Desire General] crystaltable:
It doesn't work at all.

Was it covered by your warranty? Where did you replace the screen?
[Desire General] dexter93:
Well if it didn't worked when you got the phone and/or you haven't messed with it (did not drop, change radio...) (eg. it stopped working one day) and the warranty is valid,I don't see why it shouldn't be covered..
[Desire General] soyef:
I didn't bother with the warranty, I just got it replaced at a local phone shop

You could just order a screen online and try it yourself but make sure you order the right screen
[Desire General] hookgab:
The exact same thing happened to me too. It went into service, they've replaced the screen and the motherboard (wtf?), and now it's all ok, all of this free of charge. Don't bother buying the screen yourself, just go the easy way. It might take a bit longer, but it sure is cheaper.
[General Topics] nawoa:
Any new phones coming out with an optical joystick, trackpad, or other Nexus One/Desire style analog input method? I haven't seen any lately in the news, even with CES having passed by. This concerns me since I find this type of input device to be very helpful when editing text for example. Is this input style now regarded as obsolete in light of enhanced keyboard input methods our something?
[General Topics] missparker76:
Not obsolete as the Desire Z released 2 months ago has got one ;)
[General Topics] nawoa:
So it's something I'll probably only ever see on HTC I guess. I like my Desire, but lately HTC seems to be falling behind a bit on a technical level. Based on CES anyway. That Atrix, even forgetting the docking features, seems pretty slick. Bionic, too.
[General Topics] iixiom:
I actually prefer the ball on the Nexus. It makes everything much easier and allows you to be more accurate when selecting something such as text.
[General Topics] nawoa:
Yes, I can definitely see where the ball would be better, but the technology's readily out there to easily make something much better than either solution. Just throw a tiny laptop-ish touchpad on there instead. Emphasis on tiny, like 0.75cm x 0.75cm. Those thing are way more accurate than a ball or optical joystick.
[Vibrant General] AndroidPerson:
As someone else said, imagine what would happen if the iPhone's GPS didnt work, so why is Android held to a lower standard? Why are we supposed to accept whatever we are given, regardless of what we are promised? The SGS and iPhone 4 cost about the same amount, but we, as Android owners are supposed to just be grateful for anything that we get even when its less than promised?Samsung is already "rumored" to be planning our phone's successor. Thats bull****, we dont deserve to be treated like this. I love the Class Action Suit, but does anyone have any other creative ideas to not only help out current SGS owners but also ruin possible SGS 4G prospects? Samsung needs to be taught that we wont just be grateful for whatever we get, we demand what we are promised, we demand what we pay for; this is only reasonable.

A company should at least have some concern for their consumers, even if its barely recognizable. Samsung left us with a broken device we paid handsomely for, they have 0 concern for us. So I pray to whoever is listening up there that the SGS 4G fails miserably. If I knew how, Id make and circulate a Facebook page with just a couple of sentences outlining the case against Samsung. Even those who dont know much about Android would pay attention to a facebook page saying Samsung has ripped off SGS consumers, so avoid any Samsung phone at all costs, there are plenty of great alternatives. Maybe there is a more effective avenue, maybe we could even pursue multiple avenues. The goal is to bring attention to the shortcomings of the SGS we currently have, it deserves Samsung's attention. And now is the time, while the class action is getting attention, lets pile it on. Im happy to do what I can, im just not sure what to do. Any ideas?
[Vibrant General] DMaverick50:
kinda like the facebook page idea. I hate that Samsung doent give a **** about selling us a broken phone, even if they said they were really sorry itd be ok if they didnt fix it. Not only are they pricks, they're dicks too.
