For now, I FTP'd the most wanted files off of it. I'll be reformatting /mnt//sdcard after I get the balance of the other files via FTP when I have more time.

Formatting has reportedly been used as a remedy for some circumstances.

I see my Win Vista 64 perceives the mount as a ~2.2 GB partition, which seems FATish. My phone thinks it's a single 16 GB partition.

any news on this? i am just having this problem now as well. its really annoying. i can get my files in and out by bluetooth, but that is just way too slow to transfer files around.

if there's no fix for this yet, is there any way i can transfer my files faster? please update me if theres a fix for this, or a workaround at least! thanks!!!

[General Questions and Answers] z4ppy:
Basically, I just flashed my HTC Desire for the first time with a custom rom (Oxygen 1.0.4). Following some guides and what not. I backed up my phone pre-flash with Nandroid etc.

I also used Titanium Backup (free), to backup all my apps and importantly my sms/contacts/ After flashing, I go to restore everything with Titanium Backup and everything restores but my sms's and contacts. I have call logs etc. But none of the important things, other than APN's.

I googled around and seen you have to restore some of the required green options from the batch list manually. Which I've did. I rebooted my phone and still nothing.

Am I doing something wrong, or am I simply out of luck and have lost my contacts/sms's?
[General Questions and Answers] z4ppy:
Just an update. I managed to get my contacts back, thankfully. And am now what I believe to be syncing with google.

While thankfully I made a backup of my texts with SMSBackup as well. So restored the 10000 odd texts I have.

I'd like to make a go-to guide for alternative home launchers (both from the Market and from outside of the Market), and I'm looking for some input on which launchers I can feature.

I only recently discovered that there are several more than I knew about initially, and I'm interested in collecting information about as many as possible.

Currently I know about the most popular launchers:

ADW Launcher and Launcher Pro for example. But I'd like to know if there are any others that you prefer? Anything that makes them different from the rest? Your favorite features of each launcher?

Thanks so much for your help!

Alright, so I'm developing an app at the moment. I want to release the source somewhere like github, and I'm wondering if I should include an open source license like the GPLv3 just because it has an "official" feel. Should I do this, or not?
[Android Apps and Games] elegos:
You should. If you don't, whoever will be able to take your code and publish as his. The GNU GPL forbids things like this (legally speaking): if you use part or an entire GPL'd code, you have to publish (at least) the opensource code used, including the modifications, and give credits to the original author.
[Android Apps and Games] Brut.all:
@smackdown85146

This depends entirely on you - license is for you, not for anyone else. If you don't want to license your work, then this is perfectly ok.

And if you choose to license it, then you should consider whether you want to copyleft it (GPL) or make it fully free (Apache, BSD, etc.). GPL is open, but it isn't free. Most of Android works, including Android itself, use Apache license, not GPL. Me too :-)
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
I think if you publish your source code without a license then it would be automatically copyrighted and nobody will be able to use it.
[Android Apps and Games] Brut.all:
So why to license your code? ;-) Unlicensed code belongs to no one, anyone could do anything with it.

Have got the version of flash that's in the CWM sticky, but noticed my N1 today got an upgrade, and am wondering if there is a way to pull that over to my G-tab? Or do I just need to be a little patent and someone will post an update in a day or two?
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
You can try but the flash seems to be device specific in some cases so it may just bork your flash. Make a backup so you can restore it if you try
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
Since you mention CWM I will assume you have root.

Get a free Dropbox account and install on your N1 and gTab. Then it's as easy as copying the Flash apk into the Dropbox folder on your phone and then downloading it from your Dropbox folder on your gTab.

Doesn't get much easier.
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
I saw the flash update on my N1 this morning. I read the release notes for 10.1.106.16. It states:

Flash Player (10.1.106.16) impacts new users only and is not a mandatory update for existing users. It SHOULD NOT be installed on devices/tablets with the NVIDIA Terga 2 Super Chip including the LG Optimus 2X, Dell Streak 7, and Motorola ATRIX. The pre-installed version of Flash Player is optimized for Tegra 2 (this is my addition... if only there was a pre-installed version of the Flash Player installed on the gtab...) Future updates will include these optimizations. If you are unsure as to whether your device includes the NVIDIA Tegra 2, please consult your device owner's manual.

Maybe the versions prior have the same stipulation I don't know (this is the first time I saw this), but it's probably best to stick with what works for now. Probably won't be a lot of change until the release with the official Tegra 2 support is made available.
[G Tablet General] Tostino:
The update says in it's notes that it isn't for tegra devices... kinda useless to us.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wastedkila:
I'll tell you the whole story, to get your best understanding of my problem, so please read and help me if you can!

So i've had quite a few problems while trying to modify some stuff on my Android Samsung Galaxy S I9000M from Bell.

At first what I did was root my phone. Secondly I installed Darky's 5.6 Gingerbread edition, but like a dumbass I didn't understand how to install, so I dragged and dropped through the windows explorer the contents from the .zip.

Ever since I've done this, i've had non stop problems.

I've installed Odin 3.0 and the samsung drivers for my Windows 7 64bit computer, and have had the phone recognized by the Odin software when it's in recovery mode, as well as when using it as USB storage. I have never had the phone be recognized by Samsung Kies.

So after I screwed up the installation of Darky's 5.6 my phone started to act all screwed, problems like a ton of force closes, and a few missing apps. This isn't even the worst of it.

My phone started after a while to load up normally, and once I unlocked the device from it's home screen, it would immediately restart, and do it's fancy google color thing for a minute, and then load it's home screen. It would then do this automatically until I took the battery out.

One day after being fed up from hearing my dad yell at me after I just got the phone, I hooked it up to Odin got it to be recognized by my computer, and then tried to load on a new firmware. Nothing worked. There was no message saying it worked, no progress bar was moving, and nothing in the text area where it tells you what its doing, was moving from it's original state of recognizing the device.

I pulled out the device in frustration and turned it on. TADA! Something in there seemed to make it revive and actually work as a phone again. So I made sure it was charged all the time and tried to refrain from restarting the device in fear it would happen.

Well it had restarted, and things were still working fine, no big problems, nothing that wasn't fixed by a restart. Then suddenly I kept getting a lot of force closes on my SMS apps, or Phone app, as well as pretty much anything that was running on my phone started to force close, so I reset my phone.

Bam. Everything has hit the fan now.

My phone turned on and all I had was an Applications button in my single menu window. No phone, no sms, no settings or anything. When i clicked it, it would force close. On my phones first window, it would show "YouTube", "Calculator" and 3 other apps, which I never used.

Ever since then my phone has been a brick to me, with no connectivity to Odin, and no random working resets.

I've tried almost everything I've read here, and my biggest problem is that it's not connecting to Odin properly.

So please, what can I do to fix my phone without having to go pay to get it fixed. Bell said they would charge me $35 to even send it out and then charge me on top of that to fix it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wastedkila:
so no one has any idea what i'm doing wrong? or has experienced similar problems?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Try to reinstall the drivers in kies.

If that don't work do download

Them from android development site.

It should work.

Try the phone in all mode you can to get the drivers to install right.

Then you can try to fix it with kies or odin.

**DamianGTO Steam kernel. 349MB Ram. 256HZ. ext2. js3 base**
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
Another approach

I too cannot get odin or kies (or usb mass storage) recognized on the PC. I tried for a long time and gave up.

Are you rooted or can you access the root dir? If not can you access the external SD card or market so that you can root?

Do you have clockwork mod or similar?

I can only base my experience never using odin or a pc...

If you can get into recovery mode and start using (if you do not have it already)clockworks mod (and/or steam recovery - which I highly recommend as it can access the removable sd card which is useful to load stuff on to when things go sideways see why in my post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929020 ).

Then you can flash whatever you want from the root directory or with steam from the external SD car (root dir there) no odin or pc required (directly).

Then I'd start with stock or at least a custom rom that is based on your carriers stock and go from there.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zumi78878:
Hey!

I've had the EXACT same problem as you. did you try to put your phone into DOWNLOAD MODE (Close phone, then hold volume down, then home, then power) to see if it connects to odin? Also, before you do anything, make sure you turn on odin first and then select all the files you want. After thats done, then put your phone into download mode, then connect the phone to your computer thru the USB.

My little brother has a Cincinnati Bell Blaze or Commtiva Blaze or any other of the 10 names this phone has... He flashed CM6.1 to the phone and now the phone is barely functional and shuts down 10-20 times a day at random. He has ClockworkMod Recovery on it which I'm very famailiar with as I use it on my Vibrant. He didn't make a backup of the original firmware first but I've located the original OS which is an img.tar.gz file. Is there a way to convert this to a clockwork recovery zip? And if not what would I use to flash this original Rom to the phone?

Thanks in Advance.

I have a URL launcher app and need help with some codes..

Someone made for me a URL launcher application. This app makes a web page is run inside of the app window, it dosent launch the defult browser.

But the problem is.. downloads do not work inside of this app... It only works when the website is running in the full browser,,, But I dont want that.. I want the download to be supported inside of this app.

Is there any html codes or scrip that i can use in my web page to make it launch the original browser from the phone, so any files can be download it in the phone..?

This is importan because I want to run a website to host my documents , apps and my files.

I don't want to use a URL launcher application that calls the defult browser or launch the defult browser, because everyone will know the url address from my website..

In the bottom of this post is the link to download my app..

Please someone letme know how can I make it to support download in this app.

I hope there is a way to insert some type of code in my downloads web page , so everytime someone clicks the link, the code will call / launch the android browser so the download can be suported.

Here is the link of the app..

Please go to download shortcut and choose android shortcut for testing... You will see that the download dont work in this app frame... It only works in full android browser..

Basically what happens is a small version of the browser runs inside the app. A webview is what its called. And they are pretty limited. So its possible in webview that maybe downloads are disabled.

Your /system/app files aren't stored on the SD Card, they're inside the phone. Unless you're on A2SD.

How did you delete it at? Using a file browser on the phone itself or on your PC? How's the phone/apps behaving?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBeattie:
Is the device S-ON right now or S-OFF? If is S-OFF all you need to do is re-install recovery and super user app. I'm on my phone so I can't post the link for you but go to unrEVOked.com, select the EVO and then unrEVOked forever. Scroll down the page and you'll see a link for ClockworkMod recovery and the su app. Place the recovery file on the root of your SD card and boot into bootloader(volume down & power). The device will find the PC36IMG and you'll be able to update your recovery image to clockwork. Now that your set, flash the su app via recovery and your once again fully rooted.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBeattie:
I'm not sure what you mean. System/app directory isn't on the SD card so if your looking for it on your card you won't find it. As for the instructions I provided, yes these steps are done on your device. All newer versions of unrEVOked do the same thing as unrEVOked forever, Permanent S-OFF. There's really no reason why you'll ever need your pc again as long as you have the files for recovery and su app on your SD card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBeattie:
I forgot to mention, after formatting your SD card the device will automatically re create the needed directories on the card. Some folders will pop back up instantly while others will appear once you've opened the app associated with the folder. An example would be the DCIM folder. It will only appear once you open the camera application.

It's located in the root directory. Another words, you shouldn't be looking in any folder/directory. Open your file explorer and instead of entering a directory such as SD card just locate system. Within system you'll see system/app. It looks like this

root
