[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chris2busy:
Hey mate..Thanks for the contribution..I just wanted to ask if there could be any bennefits to using this on a device as DZ..internal memory is more than suufcient and our nand I/O are pretty huge..Back when i had a HTC Desire i used this hack, but i am not sure if this could result in any kind of benefit..Please share ur knowledge/point of view :) i am interested.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MacaronyMax:
Awesome :D I might test later... Although like what Chris said, The I/O speeds are pretty fast already ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatruth132:
did anyone test this out
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] acejoker25000:
Well if you have a class 6 or better sdcard then it will be faster then internal memory that's the only real benefit that I could think of!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Exanimus:
Sorry to ask, but i really don't understand this..? what is this about? creating more virtual memory or what is it?

thx
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
I tried this and it kept causing a boot loop for me.... but I realized later that I think if I had mounted data and cache, like you do for GB gaps it probly would have worked.... just a suggestion. Also there is another all in one data/cache/dalvikcache to sd-ext option that I am testing now.... but I can't remeber were I found it. I think it is called dtappstosd or something like that. And is from the developer dark something...........

EDIT ok he is called dark tremer and it can be found by searching for apps2sd or datasd

EDIT: I should have said mount system/and data.....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KCRic:
This is a good idea and good find however, since we have Darktremors a2ext for the G2 and it does data2sd I don't see a huge need for this.
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
so im a previous iphone user and need something new to play with......i follow the instructions to root with visionary but my S is always on and wont be S-off.......what do i do?
[myTouch 4G General] borodin1:
Visionary can not perform S-OFF. People tried to come up with 1-click app to do that but it's not possible, at least right now.

Follow this guide to make it happen. It's not as hard as it looks.
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
ok yea i did this and from some reason the sdk is not picking up my mt4g......ive been actually trying since i posted this thread lol. things are just not cooperating with me
[myTouch 4G General] cdw9800:
For me yo get s off o have go put a stock rom on my phone maybe that will help
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
I have a stock rom on though
[myTouch 4G General] dani26286:
same as you(*), until last week when i came across this dude, who made it seem so easy. follw these links, and you will gain s-off with sim unlock through gfree 2:

*by " same as you" i mean i was heaving a hard time gaining s-off, until these videos
[myTouch 4G General] PhantomRampage:
Hi guys, my girlfriend just got a MT4G today and I'm having problems getting s-off too.

I've tried all methods and nothing seems to be working. Any suggestions? If you need more info just ask, but like i said, i've tried like three different ways and none work. I'll edit this post soon and add what common errors im getting
[myTouch 4G General] mbstang:
I couldnt get it done with Visionary r14, instead of getting the option screen when I opened it, it went straight to the rooting phone screen and just didnt work

I found r11 and used it instead and that solved my problem, the rest of the process went easy
[myTouch 4G General] Kid Poker:
I had the same problem. I used one way to turn S-off when I had the myTouch 4g with the radio 0.85.xxxx. When I had my phone swapped since I made up an excuse to get the good screen, the radio was 0.86.xxxx. I tried to follow the same steps as I did with 0.85.xxxx, but wouldn't work. So I ended up trying the ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ROOT and it worked. I put everything unlocked even SIM. THen I used VISIONary r14 to have it root then perm root.

I tried r11 but it didn't work so I went to r14 with the ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ROOT and it works. So I guess each is their own.
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
Ok so I'm still having trouble with this. Can anyone tell me what I need to download for the sdk kit? I have a acer aspire one laptop either a d150 or a150.i don't know what the difference is. Running windows xp sp2 or 3 lol
[myTouch 4G General] TrueBlue_Drew:
Dont even bother setting up the SDK. It is a pain in the arse!!! Use this method if you need to set up ADB.
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
Thank you I was looking for something like this
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Seriously people, don't you read threads? The rooting method is very easy and does not require ADB or the SDK. I've rooted *5 PHONES* on the first try by reading and just following the damn directions.

You temproot, run a couple of commands in terminal, reboot, temproot, permroot, and go on your merry way.

If this doesn't work follow the guide for gfree and that will do it.

Here, I made a SUPER-STEP-BY-STEP guide. If this is still too complicated for you then you really shouldn't be rooting at all, as it requires some basic knowledge of how to use a computer and the phone. And I mean BASIC.
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
see ive done this many many times and my s just wont turn off.....its always on
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
Are you making sure that "set system to r/w" and "run visionary.sh" are both checked at the time of temproot.

and are you getting any type of error codes when you type in the command lines.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Assuming you're doing it correctly, some phones have trouble. Look for the guide titled ULTIMATE S-OFF, CHECK OUT EVEN IF ALREADY ROOTED.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858996

The gfree method should do the trick.
[myTouch 4G General] PhantomRampage:
I got it working after 4 hours -__- I'm not sure if it had anything to do with it, but once i removed the sim card it seemed to work. Got s-off and permroot and even flashed cm7 nightlies afterwards with no problems, then put the sim back i n
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
See I didnt do the visionary.sh check off part haha I don't remember see that part in the guide
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
I give up already I just can't get it to work nothing is working
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
SLOW DOWN, read the directions CAREFULLY, and make sure you understand the entire process before starting. I probably read the guides 20 times from start to finish before I rooted.

Here's a super-newbie step-by-step guide I typed up.
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
Seriously I give up lol I really don't know what I'm doing wrong.i followed each guide and it doesn't work at all. And now my computer won't read my phone. Even the sdk won't pick up my phone. Haha well im going to restore everything including my laptop and see what happens
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
You. Do. Not. Need. The. SDK. To. Root. The. MT4G.
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
I know I don't need the sdk. I even followed youtube videos and still didn't work.

Ill try again and take my time
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Did you read the guide I posted a page or so ago? You must have missed something. I've rooted 4 phones and it never took more than 5 minutes. Super easy.
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
make sure your root.sh file is in the /sdcard/root folder.

If you extracted the root folder and placed it on the SD Card you have it buried in two folders.

you should be able to open your SD Card via a File Explorer, see the root folder > click on it and see two files. If you should open the Root folder and see another folder you have to cut/paste that folder so it's not buried.

also look at the terminal emulator to make sure you are not getting any errors. IF any of the lines said it failed at writing anything it didn't take correctly.

you can also try to use Cyanogen's "rage" method via ADB.
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
when i tried moving it to the upper folder it says cannot move to due to system restictions
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
The root.sh folder should be on the SD Card, not in the OS file system. you can move any file you want on your SD card w/o restriction.
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
ok now when im in the terminal its says wpx.ko failed......what does that mean?
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
That right there is the exact reason your "s" is still on.

try downloading the file again to a PC, then extract the file. Then delete the folder that is currently on your SD Card/ Then Move the folder you extracted to the root of the SD Card. and try again.
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
just tried 4 times and my s is still on and the wpx.ko is still failing
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
For the fourth time, try the gfree method. It has worked for many others who had trouble getting S-OFF.
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
isnt the gfree method adb???? if so i cant even get my laptop to read my phone correctly........and for some reason i dont have the HTC driver on my sdcard.....
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
Then download it from HTC directly.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Reboot your phone and computer. As long as your phone has usb debugging on it should read it no problem. You shouldn't need the driver. I'm on an old XP laptop and I just plugged in my phone and it automatically installed the drivers no problem. Took 60 seconds.

If you read the instructions in the thread it clearly states that you can use Root Explorer to avoid messing around with adb. Just use Visionary to temproot first.

With all due respect I think you need to slow down and read the directions more carefully. You're missing easy and obvious steps.
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
Finally I got it!!!!!!!
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
So what's some good roms?

That's ok I'll look in to it
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Awesome, glad to hear it!!

I recommend CM6 or CM7 to start with, or Ice Glacier if you like the stock ROM but want something leaner and faster.

If you come back here saying you flashed CM7 and now it won't boot (not realizing you need to change your recovery first) I reserve the right to yell at you. :D

SLOW DOWN and read ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS before you begin the procedures. Congrats on finally getting S-OFF! :)
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
I flashed a rom already. I using cm7 build 32. But is there something that has a great battery life to it? And still run fast
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
CM7 has super battery life and is super fast. I can last 1 - 1 1/2 days on o/c to 1.5Ghz. Use the native O/C controller. I've had problems with SetCPU killing my battery.
[myTouch 4G General] Flipnfr3ak:
so how do I set it? I found the setting but do I set it to?
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
just pick the highest you want and pick the lowest point you want and save em

iGo is free on the market and you can google to download free maps for it.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] p_san_p:
Does iGo has maps for india?. I googled bt m not able to find ny.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] leewenxu:
You can also try Papago X5. Its working like a charm on Gingerbread.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Kiba No Ou:
Give a try to copilot ;)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ferluci:
For me there´s no replacement for Garmin because of the lackage of detailed maps of my country for the mentioned gps software (Papago, Igo, etc). That´s why I´m stick on WM and using android SD :(

I tested Papago, it´s a good gps software but the only maps I found were very basic, so...

In fact, I´m considering buying an android phone and a cheap Garmin gps (like nuvi 205). :confused:
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] YZ:
I use CoPilot, also bought the license .. its the best navigation ! :D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] matejdro:
iGO free on the market??? Where?

Otherwise, i like iGO a lot. Everything is like 20x faster than Garmin and interface is nice.

But still nowhere to beat Garmin. It will show your position only on roads, voice navigation is a bit weird and it's nowhere as customizable as garmin.

Garmin announced software for iOS, but it will be online, so why bother. They failed completely at smartphone area.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] zeijlertje1:

Google

Let´s stay in family, why not to use Google Maps which includes Google Navigation...also you can download full Google Maps (and lots of other maps) with Locus (market free)...

For Google Navigation just search for BrutMod Maps here in xda, or flash Hyperdroid...
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] matejdro:
wow nice. I never used google navigation since it needed data (i don't have data plan) and was not availble in my country anyway.

Is there a way to cache POIs, so you can search through them without internet connection?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] fireblade893:
Co-Pilot is good for UK coverage and you can de-activate WM licence and re-activate it in Android.

It also has a real time traffic option (only cost me £10 per year)

Bought the USA version for holidays for $10 and same for USA traffic great value compared to buying a TOMTOM/Garmin device

Co-Pilot looks the same as well on android as WM so easy to use and you use androids keyboard rather than abcd keyboard on WM

I prefer it to WM TomTom tbh as it is multi touch even in WM but TomTom device's HD Traffic is the best I have seen
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] w8asa:
I second Copilot Live 8. US-only for Android is a mere $4.99 at alk.com. Other places are all reasonably priced. Works perfectly on my HD2/Android 2.2.1.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MTN_HD2:
hi,

MAGLDR doesn't recognize my sd card . i can't use usb mass storage , AD SD => CWM . apparently all the roms i want are released az ZIPs ...

is there a fix for that ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
Are you using magldr 1.13? If so you need to use the new CWM 1.3 partitions which now installs the partition onto NAND, so to use CWM you need to boot into the AD Recovery option from menu and not Boot AD SD. There is also no need to copy files to root of sd card.

There is a problem with magldr usb mass storage, but if you boot to CWM, select mount and storage and the usb storage you can copy perfectly.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] exxx80:
hi

my problem is with the bootloader screen. After installing magldr 1.13 i could not start the ppc in bootloader mode. i have tried many key combinations and etc.. but it is still starting with magldr after a short white htc screen. So now i cannot load any official or custom winmo firmware. None of the android nand fw are working. Now i only can use winphone 7 with limited abilities.. Can anyone tell me the way to solve this and go back to original rom?

thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] waspsl:
When you say you can not start in bootloader, bootloader is started by turning the phone off, holding in the vol down button only and turning on the phone.

The phone should not even get to the white htc screen.

If you get into the tri-colour screen you can get back to a stock rom to start again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] exxx80:
Yes exactly thats what i m doing. But it passes to magldr. I even have reset from the red button at the back but no way to bootloader :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MTN_HD2:
@ClydeB1 : so i have to install the new CWM using the USB Flasher and it'll boot from AD Recovery ? thats good news i guess ...

will it let me install ZIP roms ? also i have a 512Leo . why would i (or anyone) want to partition NAND ?!?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
Yes, install the appropriate cwm partition by going to usb flasher and running daf.exe. Then the phone will reboot to magldr, select AD recovery and you can then flash zip roms or updates, backup etc etc etc.... I have a 512 device also, so no problems.

I guess one of the reasons for running recovery off NAND is that not all users could get the sd based recovery to work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fastscorpion2010:
I have the same problem here. I tried to return from my NAND Android Builts to a Windows 6.5 ROM. But after Flashing, the reboot got stuck at the logo. I tried flashing over and over again, different WinRoms, reflashed MAGLDR and even tried a combination with HSPL. nothing seems to work. I dont pass the logo, cannot enter MAGLDR or load a normal build. I kinda run out of all my magic. anyone got any suggestions?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
What hspl version and radio are you using? To use magldr you need 2.08.hspl and radio 2.08.50.xx or higher .50 radio

I'm not sure why it would hang on reflash to winmo, but let's try get to Android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] grisantycosme:

I am using the SPL 2.08 and When i am installing the MAGLDR111 or MAGLDR113 it's Stop in 0%

you're using Stock SPL, you need Hard SPL (HSPL)

[Desire General] Alstoj:
Hi, I am new to the rooting world.

Had my Desire since it came out on orange and am very very pleased with it.

Just 1 question. after my wife got an iphone 4 (overpriced and full of bugs) I really liked the folders on it.

Any free apps like that for my desire running standard (unrooted) 2.2.

Or will 2.3 have these folders... if so when will 2.3 be out for desire?

Thanks.
[Desire General] warlordxxx:
Do you mean the icons for the folders?
[Desire General] Alstoj:
Hi, yeh its when you see the apps in the folder. The folder has a opaque style and then expands when you click on it.

Its a nice visual.
[Desire General] warlordxxx:
Ok similar but not exactly the same - although this is supposed to reproduce the effect you want im unable to try on the lite version but maybe worth a look

[Wildfire General] loonychewy:
First of all, I apologise for posting here instead of in the development forums, because I can't post there (reason being my post count < 10).

I've just installed my first ever custom android rom 2 weeks back using SUnAaBh v1.1, and I'm loving it well over the stock 2.1. Thank you!

I did find the chinese handwriting input missing, and after some poking around, I manage to get it working. Thought I would share it here.

Everything required is already in the rom, except for just a missing line in /system/customize/CID/default.xml

<function name="IME_sip_set">
<set name="single">
<item name="total_list">Handwriting;ZuhYin;CangJie;PinYin;Stroke;</item>
---> <item type="boolean" name="Handwriting">yes</item> <-- This line is missing
<item type="boolean" name="ZuhYin">yes</item>

Attached is a zip file which I created to patch the rom. Unfortunately, even though the file was updated correctly to the system, it didn't show the handwriting input. I wiped the cache/data/dalvik and ended up in a boot loop. So finally I repackaged the rom with this patch and reflash my phone, and voila, I get chinese handwriting, with its associated options, all working fine so far.

So if you're reading this, warriorvibhu, I hope you can consider adding this small patch to your rom, since 1) its a bit of work to repackage a rom to enable this feature (for those who needs it), and 2) for the vast majority of users who don't need it, it can be turned off in the settings, alongside the many preselected international keyboards that are enabled by default.

Alternatively, if anyone have a clue how to enable it via a zip patch, that would be cool as well.

On an unrelated note, I've extracted the boot animation from the latest wildpuzzle rom (the one with the PC bios POST animation) to a standalone zip patch. Its similar to the commodore 64 boot animation in Theme 2 (of SUnAaBh's thread), but I personally like this better. Are there any rules prohibiting me from sharing it here (assuming somebody else would like to have it as well)?
