[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JWhipple:
So, if I have a ROM (CMYLXGO's Stock Desire) w/ 425 MB system partition and I back it up with CWM , then install another ROM with 150MB system partition (installing the 150MB partition prior to install of course), do I need to repartition back to the 425MB prior to restoring the 425MB partitioned backup?

Common sense would tell me yes, BUT, I figured I would ask just in case I am wrong!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
Yes, you definitely need to re-partition.

What will be the problem if i dont perform repartition?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
I had been wondering if a nandroid backup would restore old partition sizes, since it backs up everything, but yeah i guess it makes sense that it can't change the size of the recovery partition, since that's what cwm is running from at the time of backup/restore. But does nandroid restore system and cache partition sizes?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
No, the restore just loads the partition contents into the partition, it doesn't adjust the sizes, or recreate them,, just loads the backed up contents into it.

It will take the phone back to a STOCK 2.2 as it was from Verizon, make sure to flash S-ON if you are S-OFF. After doing all that they will never know the difference.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
The thing that cracks me up (see what I did there?) is that people still seem to think they have a warranty if they damage their phone....Warranty by definition covers manufacturer defects in the device, not damage. If you damage your phone you no longer have a warranty. So it doesn't matter if your phone is rooted or not.

Hey guys,

I have successfully installed OpenVPN on my SGS I9000. Establishing a connection to the OpenVPN Server is no problem, but after this the traffic isn't routed through the VPN-connection and I don't know why :(

Hi

I'm using openvpn in tap mode, I had problems trying to set it up as tun. This is how the server is configured:

port 1194
proto udp
dev tap
dev-node tap-bridge

ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key
dh dh1024.pem
tls-auth ta.key 0 # This file is secret

dev-node tap-bridge
server-bridge 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.192 10.0.0.255
push "redirect-gateway def1"

keepalive 15 90

comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun

Modify server-bridge according to your local network configuration.

I excluded all certificate configuration

In addition to this I change the DNS after the VPN starts, otherwise I can't browse the internet. If you just need to connect to your local network the this is not required.

Client config is as follows:

client

dev tap

<connection>
remote VPN_IP 1194 udp
</connection>

nobind

user nobody
group nobody

persist-key
persist-tun

ca /sdcard/ca.crt

Trouble routing traffic through OpenVPN

I have the same problem and need help resolving it. I use Samsung Infuse 4G, rooted, with the "Infused ROM" installed. I also installed OpenVPN by using "OpenVPN Installer" and use "OpenVPN Settings" for my connection settings. Everything seems to be nice and smooth. One thing I found is that on the Infused ROM, tun.ko that sits in /system/lib/modules does not work, but there is another one in /lib/modules/ which does work. Also, OpenVPN Settings inserts tun.ko module by using insmod, not modeprobe. If I tried to use modeprobe option, it is not working.

Anyway...

My OpenVPN connects without problems to my Tomato router at home. The problem is, that it does not route any traffic though the VPN tunnel. Any browsing that I do, I do outside of VPN, which is not what I expected.

I would appreciate any help with this.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Clark:
Since I was an android virgin until just before Christmas, I'm still trying to get to grips with all the cool stuff that can be done.

I've rooted the phone and unlocked the bootloader. Everything else is currently stock.

I don't want to go to Clockwork recovery, or Cyanogen/MoDaCo ROMs. Not yet. I'm still savouring the "Google Experience".

However, I have three questions (which may turn into many more ;) ) about flashing new kernels, and I don't want to clog up any specific kernal thread with noob questions.

1) Does flashing a kernel wipe the whole phone the way unlocking the bootloader did?

2) If you're running stock ROM with new kernel, will you still pick up OTA updates as before?

3) How do you get the original kernal back if you don't like the new one (or if it just goes totally tits up)?

Thanks guys :)

EDIT: Yes, I realise there is a search and this may well have been asked before. But before someone points this out, I'd like to mention that if you do a search for "android kernel", you get approximately 1 bajillion hits...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
1) No, you should not wipe anything before flashing a kernel. You should however do a NANDroid backup.

2) You should be able to but it will wipe your kernel.

3) Restore your backup from #1
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
flashing a kernel doesnt wipe your phone, it simply replaces whatever kernel is in your phone at the moment.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Clark:
Right. Guess what my next question will be ;)

2) Is fine, as once I've figured out how to NANDroid backup, re-flashing it should be easy enough. 3) Is fine, once I've taken the backup in the first place.

Excellent, thanks!

Ok. So all the NANDroid guides I've seen here start with ADB and Fastboot (which I remember doing when I rooted the phone), but then they say about flashing alternative recovery images... is that necessary? Or is that what the fastboot thing was?

I've just checked and ADB still works, so if fastboot is an alternative recovery image, am I good to take a NANDroid backup, and if so, how do I do that?

If Fastboot is not an appropriate recovery image, do I need Clockwork Recovery (is that different to the "CWM" I see mentioned around here?)?

The Nexus S guide I read said that there was a NANDroid option in the Clockwork Recovery. Now this isn't in my recovery options, obviously, but I assume with ADB, a command prompt and a few instructions, I can do it manually. Maybe.

Bear with me guys, I'll get there eventually... :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Clark:
Ok, scratch the NANDroid questions. NANDroid is a backup tool contained in the Clockwork Mod recovery image.

Using Fastboot, you can boot from the recovery image without flashing it (using this guide here), so I've still got whatever recovery image I got when I did Paul's rooting technique, but have booted into CWM once to do the NANDroid backup.

I may flash CWM later, that's a task for another day.

So. Now I've got the backup (and thus, booting from that image again later, the ability to restore from it), I can try flashing the kernel. Which I can do from the regular recovery image.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
To flash from the stock recovery you must rename files update.zip just FYI. I've said it before and I'll say it again; there are no possible negative repercussions from flashing a non-stock recovery image.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Clark:
Apparently it was unsigned, so the stock recovery wouldn't do anything with it.

Back in CWM and it worked fine. I may have to flash that, it's damned useful...

So now I have a new kernel!

Thanks for all your help :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
It is very useful indeed! Enjoy your kernel :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Clark:
Ah, am I right in thinking that if I flash CWM, I can't revert back to stock if I want to?

I'm hoping to do nothing permanent at this point...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derfasaurus:
Yes, you can flash back. Not only can you but depending on how you did flash the recovery the phone may revert it on your behalf. I know mine has several times, like any time I reboot. There's ways to stop it from doing that but I don't mind.

To get the stock recovery back if it isn't automatically restoring means flashing an NAND from the Dev section here.

[General Questions and Answers] mrife:
I was told by a customer representative of a cellular phone company (who will remain unnamed) that a smart phone uses more cellular resources than a "dumb" phone. So if I have a cell phone line with the data service completely turned off, a smart phone will use more cellular resources than a "dumb" phone. That is why the cellular company requires a data plan if the customer uses a smart phone or iPhone or Blackberry and will kindly automatically add a data plan for you if you use a smart phone.

Is that true? With no data plan enabled, do smart phones use more cellular resources that a dumb phone? Is it resource requirements different for different smart phones?
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
No they do not, they operate on the same bands with just as much resources. They give you the data plan because that's how they justify giving you the phone at such a discounted rate.

Hello,

First congrats for developing a successfull android OS. But I didn't like few things which are better in Windows.only couple of things...

1.android baterry back up is less

2.there are no buttons in the keyboard to go left and right which is very usefull when you go for edit before call. Now in android when you go for edit before call either you have to delete the whole number or you have to call as it is because as soon as you tap the number which you want to edit phone makes a call.

3.storage means installation should be made on SD card which gives more space for installation.

4.rest every thing is fine and I am very proud to install this OS rather than Windows.

In my experience, trying to work with linux partitions in windows really never works well. There are a few programs that allow you to VIEW files on ext2,3,4, but no good ones to allow you to access or write to them. My advice, download virtualbox or vmware and run a linux distro.

I've tried several plugins for windows 7 to view ext formats, and they generally never work "good enough" if at all.

I suggest you either run a usb stick with a simple linux version, OR a virtual machine using linux, it should be enough to access your files and do some copying.

I haven't used VMs in forever, so I can't really say what a good one is.
