[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
I don't think that will work. Espresso roms are sense, cm roms are not, they have different frameworks and such. First off, I'm PRETTY sure phone.apk is just the backend to sms/dialer/radio/etc., so you can leave that alone. Why do you want to move those apps over to cm7? Theming? Messaging and contacts I KNOW won't work because they require the tmobile framework resources that cm roms don't have, same with the dialer. You won't be able to move messaging either, since it has different coding from froyo to gingerbread. Contacts and dialer you MIGHT be able to move over if you ALSO move over the com.htc.resources.apk from /system/framework to the same location on the cm rom. You also might have to move the com.tmobile.framework.apk or something like that from /system/app to the same location on cm7 as well.

That may or may not work, it'll more likely just cause force closes everywhere since htc apps are very dependent on other apps and proprietary framework resources that stock android doesn't have.

I don't understand why you would want any of that. To each his own, but I think cyanogen has made all of that stuff better and simpler. The only thing he needs to add is the ability to end the call from the notification bar. I thought sense had a good idea there
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheUnknown7:
I'm not knocking CM I do like it, it's just still buggy. For example in his contacts when entering a new a number with the keyboard the numbers are haywire and dont work, so you have to use the touchscreen. The main thing with the dialer is I miss the T9 speeddial, and messaging is a bit buggy as well, plus I like the old mms.apk ui better. For now I found out about dialer 1 on the market and will use that, but hopefully when it's all said and done things will be better on CM. Can anyone suggest a good messaging app from the market? contacts too maybe?

Alright. and almost forgot, the stock music player... any way of porting that? I really like the original widget better, and I miss controlling it from the lock screen. I want the old calendar back as well. thoughts?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclipsed450:
i missed the dial by name from the SenseUI - this app is a GREAT replacement, you swipe from side to side to get to recent/favs/dial, and it's free: https://market.android.com/details?id=kz.mek.DialerOne
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclipsed450:
this is available in the later CM7 nightlies (30+) - you can hold the volume buttons to do prev/next, and you can even have the controls on the lock screen...

This is a replacement contacts called Phonebook 2.0. It's pretty cool.

Also, pretty much any of the widgets in sense are sense only ;p
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheUnknown7:
Thanks guys. Yep figured out about the music player, thats good. Already using dialer one, I like it better actually. Now I'm missing the calendar. I really miss being able to see when stuff is coming up on the old widget. Any body got anything on that?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nurra:
OK, I'm new to rooting and installing custom roms so bare with me here.

1. I've just installed CM6 on N1 and restore my backed up apps to SD card. Now if i install some other roms and restore these apps again. Will they like overlaps and take more space? Cuz we didn't format or touch sd card during installing new rom, only wipe stuffs from phone memory.

2. When i move apps to sd, these app still take some space in phone memory. Is there anyway to move everything completely. I take it doing this might crash these apps right? thankss

I just want to say that installing custom rom on android is a pain in the *&(*(&. There's various method, old and new scattered all over the internet.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
If you want to format your SD card, go for it...

As for moving apps to SD not moving all data, there's two types of this.

Apps2SD, or what Froyo employs, moves the apk and mounts it to make it available to the system. Makes it slower to boot, mount the SD card, and only some apps support it and it you force it (or devs make bad decisions in their manifest) it can break widgets or apps that need to run 24/7.

Apps2Ext, or what most custom ROMs make available (Darktremor) moves the apks entirely to an ext partition on the SD card and this works with all apps, widgets, etc.

In both cases, the app DATA is still on /data, as well as dalvik cache. So for me, 120 apps on my Nexus One is about the limit as I run out of space in data primarily from dalvik cache.

There are also ways to move dalvik cache to SD but there are performance hits.

I'm going to get the 3G Xoom but return it once the Wifi version comes out. How long are the return periods at Costco and Best Buy? I've heard good things about Costco, but do I have to be a member there to get the good benefits?
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
You have to be a member at costco. They have a 90 return policy, cash, debit or american express only. Bestbuy is 30 days.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
You have to be a member to buy at Costco period. The cheapest membership is $50 a year. They currently have a 90 day return policy on all electrics. Cell phones are limited to 30 days. Best buy will be more money, lower return policy, but you won't have to buy a membership.
[Xoom General] setite:
Many of you are wrong. Best Buy policy trumps tablets into its shortest return policy of 14 days.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-To...cy/pcmcat204400050028.c?id=pcmcat204400050028

http://www.costco.com/service/featurepageleftnav.aspx?productno=11204333

As you can see. Costco relies on happy members to survive. They don't advertise much, if at all, and rely on word of mouth. Every Costco member I know has been referred by another member who swears by it. I swear by Costco, I never worry when I buy a high priced piece of electronics from them.
[Xoom General] Arcadia310:
Hmm. I'll have to borrow my dads membership then. :D
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Although you are correct cell phones can be returned in 90 days at costco, you will have to pay the ETF. If you return it in 30 days, you will get out of your contract.
[Xoom General] setite:
This is true. To avoid the ETF I think you have to adhere to the carriers grace period, which I think is what.. a week?

We are however, talking about a month-to-month device with no ETF. ETF's are only for subsidized devices. I do appreciate you adding that to the discussion though as it is good to consider for normal cellular purchases at Costco.

I am actually glad for this thread because it forced me to verify. I too plan to purchase this device and then return it when the wifi-only version is released. I don't like to do such things, but they really shouldn't release a 3G version first.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Isn't that return fraud? Buying an item for a short period of time to use knowing you are going to return it?

From wikipedia:

Wardrobing or renting: Purchasing merchandise for short-term use with the intent to return the item
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
It may be, but costco has the agreement with its products company. You can return without a reason, so how are they gonna say no? As an employee, i have personal heard people say when ask why they are returning "because you have a newer model". There is nothing we (as costco employees) can do but say ok. Infact we have one person that on Monday ever week comes in and buys 3 books/magazines. Then the following Monday brings them back and buys 3 more. But not to hijack, so back on topic. I personally will buying one on the 24th at costco, just because of the price.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Rumor says that costco will have the 3G tablet for $100 less than Verizon/BestBuy.

Also to note, nobody has seen the actual rebate form for the $35 back. How much do you want to bet it's going to require service for at least 2 months?

If BestBuy really is only 14 Days, I may have to renew my costco membership.

Edit:

Ugh, yeah, 14 days sucks. If Costco really is $100 less, I'm definitely going to renew my membership. Might do it now just due to the 90 days. I don't anticipate returning it, but I didn't think I would with the Nook Color either. It went back on day 30 of their 30 day return.
[Xoom General] feron:
As much money as corporations make, the brass at those corps make and the revenue the shareholders get.. well, I find no fault in your logic in how you conduct business.

Anyone that says otherwise is just throwing stones cause they have nothing better to do, or are kicking themselves for not being as sharp a consumer.

Policies exist for us to take advantage of... if Costco thought their policy wasn't good for business it never would have seen light of day.
[Xoom General] setite:
I rarely exploit return policies. Most of the time I am optimistic but simply can't live with a device. I simply couldn't live with the iPad, or the Viewsonic G-Tablet. These devices are too expensive for doubts.

It's small potatoes, but consider paying 100$ for a Costco Executive Membership instead of 50$ for the basic. The Executive membership has a bunch of perks, but most notably is 2% cashback at the end of the year on most purchases. If I recall the only normal exception is gasoline. But if you have a Costco credit card you get 3% on gas. It's not much.. but if you get executive membership.. you'd save 14$ on a 700$ xoom.. or 16$ on a 800$ one.
[Xoom General] harajuka:
Anyone know if Bestbuy pre-order is refundable? I was thinking, I might just put down a deposit just in case I cannot get it at Costco.
[Xoom General] setite:
Don't quote me as I can be forgetful. I am 90% sure that I pre-ordered the EVO at BB then cancelled, got my 50$ back.. and went to radioshack. If memory serves BB handles pre-orders by giving you a gift-card which I was able to refund.

Again don't quote me on this, but I do recall that I was on the list at BB but then I went to RadioShack. I think I did that to get a better number because BB already had like 16 people ahead of me. BB refunded me, but radioshack wouldn't since I ended up getting my EVO on eBay from a Google I/O dev.

Alright, so my girlfriend and I made the switch from iPhones to Androids over Christmas. After seeing the performance some of her friends were getting from their Galaxy S's with Voodoo's Lag fix installed, she asked me to pursue it.

I read every guide there was and finally initiated the install on my Vibrant (Froyo 2.2, rooted with SuperOneClick)

I was having all sorts of problems with the update.zip method so I used ODIN. No problems, thing reboots, and some nice female Russian lady let's me know that some things are happening.

About 2 minutes later she said:

"Converting data partition: Not enough space on partition"

"Converting system partition: Not enough space on partition"

The phone now just boot-loops announcing these errors.

I've done quite a bit of searching, most threads just had smartassed answers and nothing clear.

What do I need to do to fix this? Thank you. All help is appreaciated.

For those that land on this via Search since there aren't a whole lot of clear guides on what to do.

Set Voodoo Lagfix to "Disabled"

Download "Eugene's No Brick 2.2"

http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=8

Un-Zip

use ODIN to Flash, Do not check "Re-Partition"

It'll reboot into recovery after it's done. Nothing will work and if you reboot, it'll throw you into recovery again.

Power the device off by removing the battery and USB cable.

Reinsert the battery

With both Vol + and - held down, reinsert the USB cable.

It'll be in download mode again.

Now download the "AIO Toolkit" from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=954509

Use the "Flash to Stock" button and select the Pit and PDA it provides, check "Re-partition".

It'll boot up just fine, now use Mini-Kies to update to 2.2 and you're all set.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serious_Beans:
Try installing it from the bootloader.

Name the image file recovery.img

Put it in the android sdk tools folder(or wherever your fastboot.exe is) and run the command -

"Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Then reboot, it should work.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
The android with a "!" is the stock recovery. You don't have to pull the battery at that screen, just press hold power button, then press volume up, you should end up in stock recovery.

In ROM Mgr, FLASH clockwork recovery (twice for good luck, seriously) before trying to boot/backup from ROM Mgr. That should get you going.

The fastboot flash method mentioned above also works.

Part of your issue is that there's a file called /etc/install-recovery.sh that overwrites clockwork recovery with the stock one every time you boot up normally. Rename/delete that file and clockwork will stick after that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GchildT:
I have found if you to flash Clockworkmod recovery from Rom Manager and you already have the same version, it will remove it all together.

just reboot your phone and run the recovery installer once. Right now, it should be version 3.0.0.5. After you run it. Reboot your phone -> hold power + up (or down don't remember) -> select recovery.

If it is there, you should be able to get to it from the Rom Manager link also.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suhas_sm:
yeah will keep that as option if Rom Manager doesn't work for me.

Thanks for the information :) That should explain why Clockwork doesnt show up everytime. And yeah didnt have to pull the battery, simply went into default recovery from that screen :) Thanks. will try renaming install-recovery.sh :)

I installed once again. It said no recovery or image found. Installed again, could go into clockwork recovery but after rebooting again the same :(

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] 2Ceedz:
Hello,

I was wondering if we can make boot animations from video? There was a game boot for PSP of one from the movie 'the crow', and was just wondering if it was possible to 'port' it.

Thanks
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] roirraW "edor" ehT:
All you have to do is save frames of the video to the format used by boot animations. Boot animations are a series (or several series) of individual pictures in a particular format, at this time it escapes me what format since I haven't fooled with them for a while. You can find more details around XDA, or download a working boot animation for the Eris and examine it's contents. Or you can look at the boot animation files currently on your phone. I think the name of the folder is media/misc in the root of your phone. Again, you can find out the exact details elsewhere on here.

Ok so I see people in the android area that are new to flashing not following the directions when installing roms.

They just flash roms over roms and wonder why its all messed up and blame the Devs for the issues.

So it made me what to do something about it. and here it is.

copy PACKAGE:data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db sdcard/data/mmssms.db

copy_dir PACKAGE:data/app SDCARD:/data/app

format DATA:

copy_dir PACKAGE:sdcard/data/app DATA:/app

copy PACKAGE:sdcard/data/mmssms.db DATA:/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

format CACHE:

format SYSTEM:

*now the rom will start to install*

This formats data cache and system while backing up ur text messages and apps and then transferring everything back over giving you a clean phone when installing the new rom over.

Just wanting to get things nicer for us devs.

[Android Software Development] dc13:
Like I say most new users that root their phones dont follow peoples directions. They just flash roms on top of roms which can cause bugs then they blame the devs for the issues. This fixes the issue and makes people even happier cause they

1 get their text messages

2 get all their apps that have installed

and copies everything back over after

it formats the partitions

this will delete the old roms meaning devs can focus on real issues but still wont hurt those that follow the directions.
[Android Software Development] DamianGto:
im sorry. i still dont see the use of it.

basically you copy data to sdcard and format the data and put the data back.

all errors in data will be saved.

the other format you do is in every script already. so they don't do anything to help.

so the only this can do is fixing a bad file system on data. but if the data on data is bad you still has all bad things left.

also you can use nandroid in most recovery to do the same and its also safer.

so what do you think this do?
