[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
I have also been looking for the answer to this. Is it possible to prevent the Dell recovery from overwriting a custom recovery without installing a custom ROM?
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
yes you can accomplish this by moving/renaming or deleting the "mtd1" file in /dev/mtd

You can do this either with an app like root explorer or via command prompt/terminal and adb shell.

and ofcourse you must be rooted to mess around with system files.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
/dev/mtd is an empty directory.

Phone info attached. Phone is rooted and using Root Explorer show hidden files in checked in preferences.

[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
The phone is working great for me. I am not interested in performance scores, just usability. I wanted the custom recovery so that I could add a few simple mods, like a different battery icon. I'm not at the point where I see the benefits of a custom ROM/kernel out-weighing the risks, yet.
[Streak 5 General] bash_array:
No probs at all for me.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warnec:
Here You go! The file's attached. I recommend it to install it with ADB. You may also use (I think) something like Root Explorer, which I don't use, because it is a paid app ;) Here I present you a free way to do it.

How to do it? Here (I'm assuming you use Windows):

1) First make sure You install Your phone's USB drivers in your system

2) Download Android's SDK:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

3) Don't really remember how it went after Installation, but you should have an "android-sdk-windows" folder (assuming you use Windows). Put it on your Desktop.

4) Enable USB Debugging in your phone (Under Applicaions -> Development in Settings). Then connect your phone to PC via USB

5) Do a WinKey+R combo. "Run" window should appear. Type

cmd

and hit Enter.

6) A black console should appear. Type:

cd Desktop
cd android-sdk-windows
cd platform-tools
dir

you should be able to do a bunch of files, including adb.exe. If you don't, you either messed up folder names or didn't put android sdk folder in your Desktop.

7) Now (in normal Windows Explorer) move Mms.apk to your platform-tools folder inside android-sdk-windows.

8) Now, in console do:

adb start-server
adb remount (if at this point it says "no device found" you either screwed up your phone's USB drivers, or USB connection, or something else, no idea)
adb shell

9) Now type:

cd /system/app
cp Mms.apk Mms.apk.bak (to backup your current messaging app, in case something goes wrong, you just do the opposite - cp Mms.apk.bak Mms.apk)
exit

10) Now type:

adb push Mms.apk /system/app/Mms.apk (should say it's fine)
adb kill-server

Remove your phone from USB, reboot it. Should be done just fine.

[Nook Color General] jdellingson7:
Well after trying to install slide it on my Nook the settings button in Nook settings for keyboard no longer works. It just flashes me to home page. Looking for ways to restore the settings if possible. Also i cannot place anything on desktop when long pressing and going into short cuts. Same deal just flashes back to default home screen. Please Help!!
[Nook Color General] Bimboy:
1.) Download & install NookColor Tools, available in these forums. There are enhanced keyboard settings. If that doesn't work, then try "Keyboard Manager", also available in threads here. If neither of those work, restore your LatinIME.apk file (if you backed it up), or download the original LatinIME.apk from threads here, place it in /system/app w/correct permissions, and reboot.

2.) The way to get apps on the desktop is longpress on the app FROM THE APP DRAWER and after a few seconds, you automatically are brought back to the desktop, with the app icon in context to move wherever you want on the desktop. using the method you tried doesn't work.
[Nook Color General] jdellingson7:
Thanks so much not only did i get the settings fixed but i now have slide it installed too. It's nice to be able to side load apps now too
[Nook Color General] ulkas:
easier way

i also had the same problem until i accidentally figguered it out:

when you have the keyboard on the screen, simply hold on the special characters switcher button (the very down left) and a pop up will show up with the shortcut to working settings.

after this the card was recognized in flasher mode without any issue and i could update.

So you're telling me you have super fast flick-ing action? I highly doubt it.

Anyone else with a better suggestion?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] maxld:
Yeah, I have one - change your SD card.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
I have great scrolling, no lag at all. The SD card makes a huge difference. When I was using a class 4 kingston, wp7 was laggy and didn't run that well... it still ran and used the card, though. But now using a class 2 sandisk, wp7 runs as smooth as butter... no lag and battery life is much improved. What kind of card do you have? Cards with good random access speed is what you want for wp7... usually lower class cards have better random access speed than higher class cards. Class 2 sandisk seem to work consistently well, but I guess some people have had issues. But even cards that are same class and same brand, but have different manufacturing numbers or serial numbers will be very different performance wise.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] lemonspeakers:
i have a sandisk 8GB class 4. it has never had any problem.

are you guys telling me that by downgrading to a class 2, i may have a faster WP7 OS?

that is ridiculous!

can anyone confirm this?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] cdguider:
I'm still using Class 4

I will backup my data and test this tomorrow.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
You might... it really depends on the sd card. Sandisk class 2 cards made at one time can be very different than sandisk class 2 cards made 6 months later. Same with class 4 or with any sd card out there. When it comes to the random access speed, it can vary greatly... manufacturers don't test this speed and don't aim to make consistent scores of that. But usually the tricks that manufacturers do to get better sequential write scores on their chips end up hurting the random access speeds. That's why more class 2 cards are compatible and work better with wp7 than class 4, 6 and 10 cards. And if you are having lag, then that means you can definitely do better, because I have no lag at all at this point... maybe every once in a while I'll get a little lag here or there, but overall, it's VERY smooth. I haven't installed my apps yet... only like 10 or so apps from the market, and only copied one music album over so far, so maybe I'll get more lag when more is installed... not sure. I have 21gb partitioned over for wp7 on my sandisk class 2 32gb card. When I was using a kingston class 4, I definitely had a lot of lags and I hadn't even installed anything at that point. But I have heard that sandisk class 4 works good, too, but, like I said, when and what factory the chips were produced in can make a big difference with the random access speed which is what wp7 needs to be smooth.

It's all to do with your micro SD card, my old Samsung 8gb card, ran ok, but would somtimes lag, not load marketplace, things would crash and the occassional autoreboot as well, so I ordered one of the Microsoft recommended sandisk 8 GB ultra microsd cards, not a single lag, no crashes, things run so smooth and fast its really quiet amazing. How ever many times and different ways you format your card if its not the right one it will never run wp7 smoothly

Fake, no why? I bought it yesterday in the mobile phone shop. The dealer said it was the new version. The old cards would have to send them back. Really no Joke :mad:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
You should take the class 2 sandisk back and order a class 2 sandisk from somewhere else... most class 2 sandisks work great with wp7. But like I said in several other posts, just because the brand and class are the same, doesn't mean the card will perform the same. They don't test the random access speed on cards so it's not consistent on cards, and it's random access speed that matters with wp7. I was just testing my cards today... I have one class 2 16gb sandisk with great random access speed and works great in wp7, and I have another class 2 sandisk that has bad random access speed and makes wp7 laggy. The read and write speeds were the same on the cards, though. My class 2 32gb sandisk has good random access speed, and my class 4 32gb sandisk I just got yesterday has even better, but my old class 4 sandisk 4gb card has terrible random access speed. My class 4 32gb kingston and my class 6 8gb kingston both have terrible random access speed as well.

Cards of same class from same manufacturer can have different chips made in different factories depending on when and where they were made. Also, a lot of the time, the chips the they make to have higher sequential read and write speeds will have worse random access speeds, so you will probably have better luck running wp7 with a class 2 than with a class 6 or 10. Microsoft reported this from their testing of memory cards for wp7. This doesn't necessarily mean a class 4 or 6 card won't work just as good or better than some class 2 cards, and it doesn't necessarily mean a class 2 card will work well. The problem is that the random access speed is not rated for cards so it's not kept consistent on cards. But at this time, it seems the class 2 sandisk seem to have the most consistent high random access speeds, but again, doesn't mean all of them will. Like I said, I have a class 2 16gb sandisk that doesn't work well (which is the one I bought retail), but the class 2 16gb sandisk that came with my phone works very well. Also, I just got a new class 4 sandisk 32gb card which I haven't tried for wp7 yet, but from benchmarking the card, it looks like it will work very well. I'm gonna test it with wp7 tonight.
