Read what I have posted

It copies ur text and mms messages

it also copies just ur apps nothing more just the freaking apps

than copies everything back and most roms just formate the freaking system partition
[Android Software Development] DamianGto:
yes i did read. but still you use old data.

maby you fix 1 problem with it, but it still lack alot.

so all Rom only format system??? lol.

Here is a little code snippet that is used on most rom.

delete_recursive("/system");

delete_recursive("/cache");

delete_recursive("/data");

delete_recursive("/dbdata");

If you know what it is you can see what it does.

You can argue that its not FORMAT, but it almost the same.

Format do write a new info part.

Delete do mark the file delete.

in the end its the same results.

You put your old amend script and ask what people think.

When you did not get the result you wanted you start to be rude.

I ask you to explain what it does to help out when flashing a rom.

Like I see it you do this and you flash a rom that will erase all you have done.

Sure you can use a non wipe rom, but then agian you are in big trubble.

You have not make any right on the files etc...

So for if you dont explain and show how it work I would recomend people not use it..

[Android Software Development] dc13:
Dude just learn to read. I said most not all.

and if it was old data why would people not use this in their roms.

It works great in my roms so thought I would post here for other phones to start using.
[Android Software Development] DamianGto:
did you read a word that wrote?

all rom that do a full wipe and there is alot if them would delete all what you did copy.

so explain how it would work, for i can't see it.

[Android Software Development] dc13:
the roms I have taken a look on on the Hero, Evo, Droid, Moment, Epic, Intercept, Transform, Evo Shift, Acclaim about 50% use a format or delete and the other 50% doesn't.

This just makes sure it will get rid of the old rom

And make a fresh install.

All my roms are starting to use this and people r loving it

The only thing is this is a amend script not the edify.
[Android Software Development] DamianGto:
did you look on i9000 roms?

i don't say its a bad thing, but it still don't work if you use wipe rom.

fist you copy files to sdcard. then you format data. then you copy back the things you copy to sdcard.

then you take a rom and that will delete data. were you did copy to.

so i ask again. why do a extra steep that in the end is useless because you do delete all that you just copied?

just tell us when this script would work.

it will never work on a wipe rom.

[HTC Inspire 4G] blkzr2:
I am a new poster to this site. I have been looking all around the posts and cant find my answer. I just bought a new ATT HTC Desire and it is stock with Android 2.2

I am wanting to know if it is possiable to dual boot with the new Windows Mobile 7?

I have a HTC HD2 that i dual boot (windowmobile 6.5/android 2.2) and was wondering if the same cound be done to the Desire. Any help of links would be beyond appriciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jasonyump:
Not going to happen. Not explaining why. Buy an hd7
[HTC Inspire 4G] blkzr2:
Lol. No explination huh?

The HD7 is on Tmobile and I am on ATT. Even unlocked I believe i will have the same data connections issues that i do with the HD2, i.e. getting ATT 3/4G on a Tmobile phone.

Any thoughts?
[HTC Inspire 4G] tpbklake:
Windows Phone 7 is a different animal than Windows Mobile 6.5. The boot loader for Windows Mobile 6.5 was easy to hack and thus the reason that they were able to come up with a dual boot feature on the HD2.

Even if a dev took the time to hack the Inspire's boot loader, chances of getting a Windows Phone 7 ROM image to load on it would probably be slim to none.
[HTC Inspire 4G] blkzr2:
I would be happy with WM 6.5
[HTC Inspire 4G] blkzr2:
I would be happy with WM 6.5

I want to thank all in educating me in this. Im new at hacking phones and trying to get as much insight as possiable.

So I guess my las question is, with the new Htc Inspire, running Android, can I put WM 6.5 with a dual boot?
[HTC Inspire 4G] King Shady:
Sell the Inspire and buy the HD2 if you want Windows so bad. I'm pretty sure none of the devs here are interested in porting Windows Mobile to an Android device. Not trying to be rude or anything.Just saying dude..
[HTC Inspire 4G] tpbklake:
I think the chances are pretty slim because the current Android bootloader that HTC is using on its current line has not been hackable at this point, so the chances of someone being able to hack it into a dual boot mode are very remote.

What I meant to convey in my previous post is that on the HD2, since it had a WM 6.5 boot loader, that was an easy hack to make it dual-bootable and have it load a bootable Android ROM on it. What you want a dev to do is the reverse: Take an HTC Android bootloader and hack it so that it can dual boot and load a Windows ROM.

If you want a phone on AT&T that does 3G, then you need to choose either an Android phone or a Windows 7 phone or Windows Mobile 6.5 phone. Trying to get a hacked hybrid to run both is probably not going to happen...
[HTC Inspire 4G] blkzr2:
I see your point and thank you for the insight. If a developer was willing to do this at some point I would donate generously. As for King Shady, I have a HD2 with dual boot and it is the most amazing device minus the lack of 3/4g connectivity on At&t. Having both worlds is the best way to go. I am not a fan of Wm7. 6.5 works just fine. I just want both. Lol, is that too much to ask? Maybe at some point a developer will get around to it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] blkzr2:
Lol, I would also like to mention to all the negative people out there, please look at how many views this post has had. obviously some people do feel the way I do about having both operating systems.

[HTC Inspire 4G] JaysFreaky:
I'll never understand it either.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AndroHero:
Thats a HD2 not an android phone! For starters the nand chip on an android phone uses a incompatible file system to a windows based operating system, it also has a totally diffrent bootloader structure, it would be lyk trying to use DOS to boot ubuntu. Even if someone wrote a whole new bootloader and developed a tool to format the nand to a fat file system, the radio isnt compatible with wp anyway!
[HTC Inspire 4G] JaysFreaky:
I understand that, but do the new Windows phones even use fat?
[HTC Inspire 4G] AndroHero:
I'm not sure, i know fat (32) atleast has a 4gb limit on transfering individual files so maybe MS has switched to NTFS for WP7.

Don't you mean 4G? :) I can get HSDPA and HSUPA on my HTC Fuze running the latest Energy ROM utilizing WM6.5.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Doing anything of the such would be illegal. Porting, say, Touchwiz to this phone, I know terrible choice, would be legal because Android is open source. When you are dealing with closed source material you have to be super careful in what you port, and this is one of those things that, even if possible, no dev is going to risk going to jail to do. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] AndroHero:
Thats not true, its only techically warez if the company developing the software, would of gained revinue from the sale of the software. So for example porting wp7 is warez, but porting HTC Sence isnt. As there revinue is generated by selling the hardware not the software :)

[HTC Inspire 4G] StrangeShadow:
...you can get an HD2 that has Att 3G...for about 8-9 hundred (from Australia), then put on you dual bootloader for WM6.5/Android...since you said you would be fine with 6.5 and want Att 3G.

I'm new to rooting, installed MIUI and loving it so far. My hw is 003. Everything is working so far but i have a few questions -

1. Do you use the default kernel or replaced it? I've seen screen tearing a few times and battery life could be better so I'm thinking of trying a different one. Read a number of threads in the root section.

2. Did you replace the lockscreen? I'm asking because I love its look, but if you enable security there's no slide to unlock and its not so useful.

3. How often do you update the MIUI build - I read it comes out every Fri, do they have major changes?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
#3, the official build is done on friday, porting to individual phones is on/around sunday
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
1. I'm on the 1.1.28 build and using the kernel that came with it. Savage 1.6. It is by far the best kernel I have ever had the pleasure of flashing and I have no reason to use anything else. When I update to a newer build, I will most likely flash this kernel over it.

2. Still using stock lockscreen. I agree that the pattern lock could have been implemented better.

3. What elegantai said.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECrispy:
2 more issues I noticed -

1. Back button is now killing apps. The only way to fix it is turn off 'long press kills app', reboot, and turn it back on.

2. When in a call the notification bar cannot be dragged down.

Both are minor issues, just wondering if they are common.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
1. That's not an issue at all, it's supposed to do that, and I think that's an awesome feature. If you just tap back it won't kill the app, and you can set how long the long press needs to be.

2. Never really noticed that before. Can you pull it down with a Sense ROM? It's been so long I can't remember. You can always hit the home key while in a call and pull the bar down from there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelvibe:
I actually have the same problem with the app killing. Great feature yes but it always kills the app regardless of how long or short I press it lol. Changing the duration didnt seem to help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECrispy:
It kills the app even when I just tap back, that's the bug. When its working yes, it only kills after a 2s tap.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
That's odd, it works perfectly for me. What MIUI build are you on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECrispy:
Latest - 1.2.11
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I dunno, maybe it's a bug with that build.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoobshoober:

I was running the cm6 wimax alpha (worked great) but it did not allow me to get voicemail, which i really need as i have sent out my resume and maybe getting call backs.

but my question is does cm7 have any troubles with voicemail, and to my understanding 4g hasnt yet been integrated in the cm7.

can i flash the toast kernel from the cm6 alpha to achieve 4g?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
voicemail works fine on CM7. There is no visual voicemail. You get an alert and have to dial *86 if you get a voicemail. (or I think you can call your own phone number.)

If you want 4G on CM7, there is a thread in the development section that has a CM7 RC1 + WiMax that works fine. The kernal it comes with works with 0004 HW and the kernal you can download works with 0003 and previous kernals.

I personally use a savaged.zen GB kernal with WiMax and it works just fine for any HW.

And no, doesnt happen over 4G or WiFi. What gives?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
I would tell you to try this.

download MSL reader from the market, get your MSL number and write it down. Now, dial ##DATA# in the dialer, and when asked enter your MSL. Chose Edit mode when it asks. Go to the very first section, hit the menu key, and hit reset. It will reboot your phone, *reactivate* it and then check out your 3G connection. Should run more stable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dw3bb10:
the first section is "data profile" and there is nothing to reset.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
you have to hit the menu button. the button below the screen. then it will pop a menu up saying reset.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dw3bb10:
-_-

I know what the menu key is. There are only 2 options, one to reboot and another to commit changed, but I changed nothing.

After the above fix. your will notice issue reconnecting when wifi sleeps and comes back on.

Below is what I did to fixed it by installing Setting Profiles lite .

It worked really well.

1. install Setting Profiles Lite from Markets

2. Setup a profile call it anything, setup only one action to turn off Wifi.

3. Go to Rules. and setup a rule to active when Screen is on.

4. Click on Invert. It will activate the profile when screen is off.

5. setup action on the rule with the profile you just created.

When the computer is on, the wifi will automatically turns back on if you wait 5 sec. At least it works for me.

I believe some one else suggested it in the other thread first. I thought I post my experience to help others who have the same issue.

If this is a repost, let me know. I will delete this thread.

Anyone with an Adam, can you play 720p MKV video files without conversion, stutter or audio/video sync issues?
[Adam General] LeviathanPT:
Depends on the encoding.
[Adam General] keitht:
Thanks but my question was for anyone that actually has an Adam and can confirm that they can play 720p MKV video files without issue.
[Adam General] Koadic:
That was a valid answer, whether it is helpful or not. MKV, like avi, is only a container, not an audio/video codec. It all depends on which codecs are used to compress the audio and video. Until you specify which codecs you're talking about, no one can give you an answer that is guaranteed to be correct.
[Adam General] keitht:
Again, not a valid answer to my question. Has anyone with an Adam successfully played 720p video files without stutter or audio/video sync issues? I have many MKV files and have no issues playing any of them on my PC. So if only "certain" ones will play, what are they? What are the ones that will not? I don't have a single one that will not play on my PC and would like the same result on Adam. That is what I am asking. Please be specific... what will play and what will not.
[Adam General] joshua.lyon:
You posted an extremely broad question -- expect an extremely broad answer. The bottom line is the adam will not play EVERY file out there. Technically, your PC won't play EVERY file out there either -- it just so happens that all the files you are playing on your PC are using codecs that your PC supports. People here are just trying to help... ease off on the attitude and you might get more help.

That being said, the Notion Ink Adam is running the Tegra 2 chip which is known to have issues with h.264 High Profile... many people have noted the best success rate using the MP4 container.

PS. I covered this before in the Video Format thread.

Even after switching the SD cards, wiping data, wiping cache, the SD card isn't being recognized. In recovery, its says unable to mount SD card, I can't convert ext2 to ext 3 or ext 3 to ext 4, i can't wipe ext partition, and when I do USB mount, it doesn't work. The SD card is still partitioned even after trying to unpartition using the recovery. Also, since I can't mount the SD card, I can't flash anything. What to do?

Mount the SD card on a PC preferably running Linux and partition it from there. If you can still backup your data, do so. Do you have an SD card reader?

I'm not really sure of this since I don't use Apps2SD myself, but I get the logic that it automounts the ext partition on the SD card, move the /data/app there, and create symbolic links on the original folder.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TheSonicEmerald:
The card that was in the phone before my friend switched SD cards was already partitioned. I tried using the SD card that wasn't partitioned, but no luck. I don't have Linux, and I also don't have space on my HDD to install it. But yes, the SD card itself is able to be recognized using the SD card reader. Currently using Windows.

Try reformatting the card with the PC. Just format it as FAT just so the recovery may be able to see it next time you attempt to use the recovery for partitioning.

There is a link to a kernel to flash before rebooting your phone. Worked for me.
