I just do a Nandroid anytime that I'm changing something. It only takes a couple minutes, and can be deleted after if not used, but it will save you from a lot of headaches.

If you're messing around with a ton of stuff you can always wipe your cache/dalvik before flashing something major, but this isn't totally necessary just flashing themes or addons.

First of all i have followed a tutorial for making some mod to the framework-res.apk from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834806 . . . The mod i wanted to make is to modifying the battery icon in the framework . . .

[Venue Pro General] dede0380:
Like a fool I tried "upgrading" my micro SD card. I followed the steps others have had progress on. When I reboot the phone, none of my settings stay and all my apps are gone ! So of course I panic and put the original SD card back in. Now its doing the same thing, it isn't seeing the storage, its showing now that I have 15.83 MEGABYTES of total storage with 10.83 MB free. After downloading 2 apps it now says I have 1mb of storage free and it wont let me download anything due to it seeing I have no room left. I've tried multiple restarts, even tried factory resets with both cards, without a card, same result, is there anything I can do ? Or do I now have a dumb phone that can only run one app and make calls ? Please any help would MUCH be appreciated.

/Thanks...

[Venue Pro General] KilZone:
Most likely the phone has done a hard reset without any storage card present. See, Windows Phone extends its filesystem across all available storage media (NAND, SD, etc.) and does this only at first boot (setup). So if no SD card is available at first boot, it will only map about 15MB of memory and completely ignore any SD card you put in later.

You can fool the device into doing this for you by resetting the phone (About > Reset) and removing the battery at the moment the device is booting again (but before it shows the setup screen). Best is to remove the battery at the moment you see the Dell logo. This way you interupt the reset process, making it restart next time. Now you can put in any card you want. Just repeat the process you did before and place either the original card or the new card back.
[Venue Pro General] dede0380:
Thanks for the reply, I'm sort of confused, that is what I did when I first put in the new SD card. It didn't accept it I assume,, or maybe I pulled the battery too late ? I waited till I seen the Dell symbol then pulled the battery. Then I took out the original SD, put the new one in, then booted it up. It then went through the normal setup (setting up windows live etc..) then when I checked the storage it was 15.83mb,, so I did it again but putting the original sd back in, and its the same,, basically no storage.
[Venue Pro General] dede0380:
Ok, right now the sd card is in the slot, do I need to remove it,, then do a reset, pull the battery at the dell logo, put the sd back in, then power it up ? or can I just do the reset with the card in it (even tho its not seeing it), do the reset, pull the battery at the logo, then power it back up? I have tried it 4 times so far with the card still in, I do the reset, pull the battery, boot it back up it skips all the setup, right to the start screen, all the dell apps (newsroom, telenav, myaccount etc. are not there) its like a blank/with only apps like mail, messaging, pictures- wp7 phone. When I first put in the new card it appeared to accept it... it went through the set up just like the first time i turned it on... I seen the storage it was there, I downloaded apps, everything was good. Then I wanted to see if it would keep it, so i powered down the phone like normal (not hard reset) and when I booted back up , everything was gone, and the storage was 15mbs.. I've managed to re-blacken the sticker, got it back in place, its stuck on there good just like it came, surprisingly there was no "void" on the sticker at all, either way I talked to Dell they sent me a new one, will get it on Monday, then they can have this crap back. Its ridiculous that you CAN'T remove the REMOVABLE storage *(which is exactly what a SD card is) without voiding the warranty. Either way we'll see what happens, hope they dont notice. there were only 3 lil spots of black missing on the tape when I took it off, I touched it up with black fingernail polish :) It looks exactly like my wifes venue pro now
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
ok, you missed a step...so read again. To change cards, first you hard reset. When the phone reboots, pull the battery, swap the card. When the phone restarts, go through setup, you will have a working card. Want to change cards again, repeat ALL the steps, including hard reset.

No shortcuts here, 1 2 3 4. Hard reset, pull battery on reboot, do your card swap, restart, walk through the setup.

Oh, remember this, hard reset is not a reboot. Its like a format. Everything on the phone AND card are gone.
[Venue Pro General] dede0380:
I understand, and that is what I have done and I am still trying to do. I just did factory reset, I hit yes twice, the screen goes black, as soon as the Dell logo pops up I remove the battery. I put the SD card in, put the battery back in, then power up the phone. Everytime the phone totally skips the setup part and goes directly to the start screen as if no SD card is in there. I totally understand the instructions.
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
by chance,are you plugged in to a charger while doing this? If so, disconnect. If you pull the card, no hard reset, will the phone start ok? If yes, try hard reset, pull battery, no other power source, put the card back in, and restart.

If you're getting no different reaction either with or without the card, then you are correct. Some thing is not right.
[Venue Pro General] dede0380:
Ya I've tried it every which way, with card in, with it out, same process, nope not connected to charger. I've only had the phone a few days, they are sending a new unit.. I so delicately took the sticker off with a very, very small needle, could only see one part of the black missing on the sticker whihc I touched up on the bottom side. Sticker looks untouched,,, I don't believe this counts as a warranty claim anyways since I've had the phone 5 days.. we'll see what happens, I'm not really sure what they could do anyhow considering they have already sent me a new phone and told me to ship the defective one back once I receive the replacement..

good luck then . I've heard of a few devices like this...but not many.

Well,

The whole reason we root and hack is to make these devices better.

They're already some awesome kernels for the Nexus S. Not to mention the "root" apps that are in the market. Just having the ability to backup and restore my whole system, incluuding apps, is enough reason for me to root.

We strive for higher clock speeds and memory access speeds.

[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
Hey there,

welcome!

What have you tried to do so far? Flash a custom rom or an official one?

Your HD2 is capable of much more than running the native winmo6.5 that comes with the device.

Head over to the HD2/Leo forum here where you will find many good guides on flashing custom roms, android, wp7 etc.

Do plenty of reading before flashing anything other than official roms and understand the processes involved so you know what to do should you do anything wrong ;)

[Captivate Themes and Apps] alphadog00:
So i love the captivate for phone calls, web, movies and other things, but when it comes to email and calendar it sort of sucks. Samsung just did a poor job. In email, deletes take forever (even with lag fix); read messages are hard to see because the transparency is whacked; calendar doesn't let me edit an event I created on the PC; no subfolders under inbox, etc.

I don't care about security - that is I don't need an APK with security removed or reduced, I just want better email.

Besides buying Touchdown do i have any options? K-9 doesn't do true push.

I was hoping we would see vanilla 2.2 ROM that used what Google was building in for Calendar and Exchange, but not yet. S

Suggestions? Anyone else as frustrated as me?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] alphadog00:
So everyone his happy with stock email and calendar, or no one uses Exchange?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Pirateghost:
nope. i use touchdown
[Captivate Themes and Apps] alphadog00:
Yeah, but it still has some lag. I think i may be finally ready to throw in the towel on the Captivate. The form factor is great, the screen is great, and as a phone it is great; But even with the lagfix, it still takes time to open or manage anything with a decent database behind it. Samsung really made some dumb design choices.

I think i will give it one more week and see if I can stand Touchdown.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] stevek99:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] electroau:
Go to the rom section, flash phoenix 4.5....live happily ever after.

It truly flies
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Pirateghost:
really?

your recommendation for better email and calendar is to flash a rom that has the same app as all the other roms?

sigh...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] greystealth:
Android in general has a lousy email system. This isn't just a Samsung thing. The native email client just lacks so many of the essential features, especially for Corporate Active Sync accounts. I sure hope that Google makes some updates soon to this area on these phones. Touch down does the job but you're right, it's slow. As for K9, it does have true push technology. By configuring your account via IMAP, you can setup an IDLE connection which is Push. I have K9 set up with a couple other accounts and I receive notifications within seconds of mail hitting the server. However, K9 is full of features and if you're not familiar with it, it can take quite some time to get it set up just right for your account.

In regards to other ROMs with better email clients, I've flashed quite a few of them including Pheonix 4.5 and they're all pretty much the same. Currently I'm running Andromedia 1.1 (which is absolutely amazing), and the email client runs much better. But also, the whole phone is extremely fast. It's the only ROM that has actually put a WOW on my face in regards to performance. If you haven't tried that ROM I highly recommend it. As long as you do a clean flash from stock no bugs should be encountered. Everything just works and works fast!

Good luck!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] electroau:
I thought lag was the issue, sorry

[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeanHacker:
yeah man. if your phone lags, you're definitely behind the times or still running eclair. which is absolutely horrible. you need to go flash phoenix or firelfy. they have little to no lag at all and a quick as hell. i'm not sure what email you use but i use gmail and it's almost faster than i can push the buttons.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Pirateghost:
guys,

if you have not used touchdown or stock email client on an exchange server then you dont have any idea what is being talked about here....this has nothing to do with voodoo/ULF. these apps DO lag regardless of what rom you are on....i chalk it up to poor exchange support overall in android. honestly though, any of these options work better than my iphones ever did
[Captivate Themes and Apps] thebone01:
I use the Paragon 5.1 ROM and the stock email in there to connect to Hotmail that has been set up as an Exchange Active Sync partner for mail, calendar, and contacts. I can update on phone or pc and it is really instantaneous. I enter something on my phone calendar and it shows up online within 10 seconds. Same goes for adding or editing new contacts in my phonebook.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] greystealth:
Seriously man? That's a bad statement. I'm not an iPhone fan but have used one in the past an can tell you that with email it blows Android away. You even get the ability to have notifications for sub-folders in active sync which is huge. However, even though email seems very basic on Android with exchange it does sync reliably for email, contacts and calendars. What specific features are you looking for?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Pirateghost:
notes, tasks, proper signature support, html emails. how about when you have an event in your calendar that has a phone number it would let you tap that number to call it? yes, there are hacky ways of getting these features, but nothing all wrapped up in one package...except for touchdown. the ONLY thing i dont really like about touchdown is the interface, it needs to be more customizable or blend better with the way the rest of the phone looks, instead of sticking out like a sore thumb.

i had iphones for nearly 3 years, and i currently have an ipad also, and the email was acceptable. no, android isnt caught up to that yet, but its getting there and i completely support the push forward. i would still pick my android over going back to the iphone. you do realize that it took nearly 2 years for the iphone to get proper exchange support right? since android is basically just now getting into supporting exchange (as of version 2.0? 2.1?), we should see some good stuff on the horizon in the near future.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] 10ee:
Op, have you tried this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=821297&highlight=exchange

I have, and it has better folder support, and seems to work pretty well for ActiveSync. The folder navigation is much easier.

Use Root explorer, go into /system/app/ , rename Email.apk to Email.old and email.odex to emailodex.old, reboot, and your email app will be missing.

Just open this .apk with "my files" or any file manager, or Root explorer, and install.

See if that works better.

One place where the IPHone e-mail client works much nicer is when you have a lot of folders in your mailbox. Navigating is easier than the ultra-stupid "scroll like a madman left-and-right" method of the stock client.. I use ActiveSync as well, and I find the ActiveSync support, while improved in 2.2, can be very "kooky" for lack of a better term.

Hope that helps.

PirateGhost My friend moved the Touchdown client to the SD card and said he felt it was faster, but he's not lag-fixed or rooted, so I don't know what his frame of reference is. Might be something you could try.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] greystealth:
I just installed an app called "enhanced email" Its much like the native email client but works much smoother. You can also move stuff between folders and it seemlessly integrates into all your other stuff. Check it I'm loving it so far.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Rongvald:
Looks like an interesting alternative to TouchDown.

Does it support peak/off peak sync scheduling? I looked through their market listing and their forum but I couldn't find an answer.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] greystealth:
I just checked and it does not. It also doesn't do notes or tasks. I would say that Touch down is more robust. This app is very much like the default email app but better.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] arabcamel:
I would like to correct you as I am using FireFly and I have ZERO lag with the stock email client. I use it for email, calendar, and contact sync. I'm very happy with it and it does everything I need. So, flashing a custom ROM will make your phone faster including email...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Pirateghost:
:rolleyes:

do you have any idea how a rom works or what it consists of?

what you have said makes NO sense whatsoever based on that context. i have been working on andromeda in its various stages since DECEMBER. i have tried EVERY ROM available to us on both of my captivates, i have tried EVERY form of lagfix/filesystem available, even your coveted firefly....and i can tell you that it doesnt matter what rom you are on...there is a lag. im not talking about the time it takes you to get the email from the exchange server to the phone, or variances between outlook and the phone, i am talking about opening FOLDERS and emails. there is a lag in the system.... if you think otherwise, you are lying to yourself to make it all feel better.

also, how about you open up an item on your calendar (conference call for example) and tap on the phone number to dial the line....

go on....

im waiting....

unless of course you are using the AOSP email app which allows that....in that case, set yourself up a signature in your settings and REPLY to an email....see if that signature is there.

how come we cant get all these exchange features in ONE app? touchdown doesnt include them all, but its the best available right now

sorry, but exchange support is MINIMAL at best in Android, so please keep the 'this rom cured aids!!' talk out of it. i never said a custom rom wouldnt make your phone faster, i just said it doesnt help EMAIL WITH EXCHANGE

[Nook Color General] migrax:
By root, it means you have given some apps root access. In Linux, root is the administrative account that lets administrators make changes at the system level. Some apps require root access, such as The Market and well, quite a few of the more important apps. Without root access, no real changes can be made.

auto-nooter-3.0.0.zip found elsewhere on the site is a very easy way to root NC 1.1.0 if you are able to follow some really simple instructions... and be careful of ROM Manager (and associated Clockwork Mod), it is a very good app... but it can be scary to use because unless properly removed, it keeps root even if you want to revert to NC Stock. It isn't that hard to remove it, but it not obvious. However ROM Manager is the path to "Other ROMS" if you would like to explore beyond auto-nooter.
