Directly install apps to SD card.

http://nmobilephones.com/applicatio...tall-applications-to-the-sd-card-by-default-2

Original question of "moving all apps to SD" is impossible now as apps with widgets have to be in Internal Memory.

Unless a dev is able to fool the phone into thinking SD card is internal memory nothing is possible. Unfortunately what devs do these days "make themes". Dailies and Nightlies.
[Wildfire General] :
Sorry for making the wrong post. Actually, with the above process, it is possible even to install/move the unsupported apps to sdcard on unrootable wildfire with official froyo (hboot 1.01 + S-ON).
[Wildfire General] ilDuceo:
This works without root:

1. Enable debugging on your phone (Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging)

2. Connect phone i PC

3. Open Command Prompt (on PC Start->Run type cmd and than Enter)

4. In Command Prompt type: adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

5. Enter

Thats it!

If you want it back, just type:

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0 instead of step 4.

Works on my NON ROOTED Wildfire wih FroYo!

This will enable you to move all apps (even with gadgets, but than you cant use gadgets) to SD, and also it will install all future apps directly to SD.
[Wildfire General] :
Oops, my mistake. The process works great. Even the unsupported apps can be moved/installed to sdcard directly . @ilDuceo thanks a lot for the correction. So, this was there right from the beginning, when wildfire got updated to official froyo. Missed this all these days.

SOME INFO HERE.

Make sure that there are no pc/phone apps which use the usb debugging while doing this process (eg: pdanet). After navigating to the "platform-tools" folder (latest android sdk version), then input the following adb commands (in bold here) of ur choice. Press enter after every command.

--First confirm the connection of adb device with the command adb devices

--This command sets the install location to automatic to be chosen by the app adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0

--This command sets the install location to phone adb shell pm setInstallLocation 1 (but try not to use this, instead use the automatic command)

--This command sets the install location to memory card adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

NOTE: I have found almost every third party app moved except the present version of "Double Twist Player" (version 1.4.2).
[Wildfire General] nicky041192:
So this will move all future installed apps to the SD? What if I install an app with Widgets? Would I need to reverse the process?
[Wildfire General] :
Once u done that process, almost all the past 3rd party apps will show an option to be moved to sdcard. And the future apps will be directly installed to sdcard (no need of moving).

Regarding apps with widgets, i have checked one app "Power AMP Music Player". It will be installed to the memory card and its widget worked fine for me. Havent checked other apps. Make a try.

And i have also freshly installed "Launcher Pro". It will be installed in phone memory only and it doesn't support moving to sdcard. So, i think we donot need to reverse the process in any case, as it wont support moving to memory card in conflicting cases.

[NOTE: I think some apps with native support of apps2sd will be installed to phone memory, and we will have to move them manually. If it is so, then do a batch movement at once.]
[Wildfire General] ilDuceo:
@bharatgaddameedi: yeah, almost all i need from root!:) except of custom ROM of course... but, this is just fine until root.

have a nice day
[Wildfire General] :
yes. Its fine untill root. Now I can have almost unlimited apps on my phone. Never expected this would be possible without root. Day by day, I'm getting a bit more satisfied with my phone. And it will be great if we can access root-only apps soon.

have a nice day.
[Wildfire General] eikcihc:
hi i cant get it working. they say adb is not recognised. can i have the full steps? thanks!
[Wildfire General] :
That is not an issue with the actual process.

U must know how to use adb (and how to use command prompt also) to go with the process. And also, have u installed the android usb driver.

The easiest way to install android usb driver is just install "HTC SYNC" if u donot want to go with a long process. However the driver will also be a part of other softwares like htc usb driver, pdanet (pc version) ......

hope it helped.
[Wildfire General] ilDuceo:
here you go...

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
[Wildfire General] titillo:
hello,if make hard resset to wildfire will comeback to original status

thankyou
[Wildfire General] ilDuceo:
dunno, iv never tried.
[Wildfire General] :
Yes it will come back to the original status on making hard reset. We cant expect that to retain even after hard reset. But we dont need to make hard reset just for coming back to the original status. We can use the command adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0 . But before doing that we need to move all the unsupported apps to the phone memory. I think they will not be usable unless we move them.
[Wildfire General] titillo:
app to instal on phone to do it automatic

any chance that somebody make an app to do this automatic from phone

than you
[Wildfire General] :
Yes that would be nice. I also thought that. That eliminates pc connection everytime we want it.

But I think it is not yet done. There are Android terminal emulator apps. I tried in those apps the commands "pm setInstallLocation 2". But it was unsuccessful. I think adb was necessary for doing that. Hope they will be done.

(and remember the letters in those commands are case sensitive. There are only 2 capital letters in that).
[XPERIA X8 General] aru2011:
hi everybody I have tried to root my xperia x8 because i wanted to update the android version to 2.1 , i downloaded the superoneclick 1.5.1 and i did all the steps i've read here but at the end it says "FAILED the device was not rooted" and in my phone it appears the superuser aplication but i can't access to the root explorer because this message appears:"Root explorer has not yet managed to obtain root access.Because of issues with Superuser, this often happens the first time the app is run but is usually fine from then on."

I have no idea of what is happening , i did all the steps:i put my phone in debug mode , then connect the phone and click "root" and it is still not rooted :S :confused:

If someone can help i would be very happy , i'm about to become crazy :S
[XPERIA X8 General] tn9:
HI

If you have android v1.5 Donut and you want to upgrade too android 2.1 just install PC Companion (Sony Ericson software that you get with the phone in the box) and let the aplication search for any update of firmware for X8.
[XPERIA X8 General] aru2011:
actually i have 1.6 version i've tried to update it with pc companion but it says that it has the latest version....
[XPERIA X8 General] 1edgaras:
Where do You live?

You have tried to update your phone via PC companion?

PC companion>Support zone>start> ... And it says that u have latest software?

Check phone status do You really have 1.6?
[XPERIA X8 General] aru2011:
I live in Peru

yes i've tried that and i still have the firmware version in 1.6
[XPERIA X8 General] aru2011:
help me please :(
[XPERIA X8 General] LuisDias:
You don't need to root your android to do the upgrade.. xD just upgrade with sony ericsson update service, and after that you can root your phone normally using 2.1 firmware.. ;)

Although, you need to substituite a file in superoneclick: "thecage.." to "neuter" but rename to the original.. (sorry if i can't explain well, but i'm portuguese and i'm 16.. xD) search on the forum or wait so i can post the zip file already working, because i don't have it on my phone.. :)
[XPERIA X8 General] oisteink:
He's in peru and it might not be updated there. There's no such thing as world availablity for sony-ericsson - it's different all over.

My best guess for you would be to use the flash from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=962014

There's at least 3 links to it, not sure if the torrent is still working.

It's set as russian CDA number, but you can change that - look on x8 forums for way to change CDA (don't have time to help with that just now ;) )

also LuisDias, as he's from peru he might be able to understand some of your portoguese ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] LuisDias:
Peru? I didn't read that part.. XD anyway, i can speak spanish if he didn't understand portuguese.. xP
[XPERIA X8 General] nyirog:
Yeah, we are in lucky situation in Europe, but south-american telcos didn't deal 2.1 version. Even nor some providers in USA
[XPERIA X8 General] aru2011:
How do i use the flash tool?
[XPERIA X8 General] LuisDias:
Here you have:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10738467

But you need a X8 firmaware, i have one on my pc, i'll send a link to download as soon as possible ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] aru2011:
i`ve downloaded the flashtool from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=962014

Firmware is "X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf" I think what i need is a E15a firmware .Does someone where can i find one?also give me instructions of how to use the flashtool please :D
[XPERIA X8 General] aru2011:
someone can upload a firmware and explain me what to do
[XPERIA X8 General] Blagus:
You can flash with E15i firmware and then flash X8a baseband that you can find in thread in my signature bellow ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
...maybe there is a way to update with pc companion like he is in Europe...

And I read about updating from other country on development section.
[XPERIA X8 General] Compwxr:
Easy way it's changing the SI number so it solves it like a workaround, still i'm not sure if it provides his language (i think it does) after that he can even install froyo or ginger eh :P

There are lot's of tutorials with infos to do it right in dev section, check them out.
[XPERIA X8 General] aru2011:
well... actually i have the flash tool and i found this firmware "X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf" but my xperia has the e15a version if flash it with this firmware what would happen?
[XPERIA X8 General] stevicc:
you should get android 2.1.... and to your root issues you should set usb on debugging mode and you mustn´t mount sd card just set charge phone instead.
[XPERIA X8 General] aru2011:
so no matter if mi xperia is e15a and the firmware i would use in the flash tool is e15i
[XPERIA X8 General] Blagus:
I've already said, flash it and then go to basebands thread (in my signature) and flash X8a 015 baseband, it will work ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] aru2011:
finally i did it :D but what's the difference between e15a and e15i i think it¡s working excellent in e15i
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
I think this doesnt mater...

There is a threat that talks some for that named "Install baseband 015 in x8a with 006?"

hi all...is possible to put the new opengl 1.1 into 2.1 sense roms?i ve seen that they are implemented in official 2.2.1 modded rom for 32A with good ui performance...and maybe can do the same with sense :D

sorry for my english...(learned only playing online :rolleyes: )
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Blodia:
Imo the 2.1 Sense ROMs already have good UI performance, but if you want you can always give it a shot. I've also flashed the openGL 1.1 file and I didn't notice any huge difference.

Add into build.prop these lines too once you flashed the 1.1:-

Does anyone know if there is an AOSP type white notification bar theme for SR 3.5 ? Sort of like Athena ?

I'm loving Athena, but I miss the HTC Gallery. That 2D gallery fix doesnt do it for me.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] REYES702:
Are you referring to SkyRaider Vanilla?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=772373
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] grifforama:
Well, not exactly, it's now morphed into Athena.

Skyraider is exactly what I want, but I'd like the AOSP style notification bar that Athena has.

I like Athena, but I really like the HTC Gallery in Skyraider 3.5.

For some reason I have photos in all sorts of different folders because of my ROM addiction. The 3D Gallery has about 4 different folders, whereas the HTC Gallery just puts all the photos on one folder.

Posted this on wpcentral as well but figure I have a better shot getting a solid answer if I post in both places. Sorry if this has been addressed, but I have searched and only found sporatic information on it:

I've searched around, and tried to find an answer, but nothing seems to work, and its an issue with all my clients (gmail, yahoo, hotmail/live).

What is the reason embedded images won't download correctly? Seems to work as attachments, but I get tons of emails with the pictures in the body. Is there a way to get these to work? Or is this just to be a future update of some sort (hopefully)?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cricketslayer:
I've had issues with this as well, with the only workaround being to set up my email as an IMAP account instead of using ActiveSync. Supposedly, the issue has been reported to Microsoft.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtboos:
wow forgot about this post hehe....

I found it was a gmail issue only, so not a huge deal. Maybe it will get fixed at some point.

yahoo, hotmail ect always worked fine.
[Xoom General] AndyMan386:
This may be a dumb question, but does anyone know if sending/receiving txts would be possible from a wifi only xoom? I imagine it would work in gtalk, but I would like if there was a way to do it from handcent or something. Likely I will be either connected to my house wifi/work wifi/tether from my D1. If my phone isnt in my hand, but my Xoom is, id rather reply/send a text from the xoom, rather than screwing around with what device is where, I would like to use the xoom if thats whats in my hand at the time.

Anyone think there is a shot at this?

Only other guess I would have is that I think my phone has a sms backup that automatically saves a text into my gmail. The Xoom would need to set up to notify me of a new email (not hard to do), however my replies would then be sent as an email, which might not work the best....
[Xoom General] jaeisber:
I would assume google voice would work. It sends SMS out through data rather than as an actual SMS, so it should work. But, I do not know since I dont have a xoom, ha.
[Xoom General] asianxtreme:
Google voice shouldn't be a problem. I'd imagine it works like any other android device.
[Xoom General] socomdark:
i will add this question to "for those on the borderline, what do you want to know" thread and we will find out if it works with google voice. handcent probably wont work as there has to be a text messaging app already i believe
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
wont you have to text with your google voice number instead of your phone number?
[Xoom General] jaeisber:
Yes, but that is likely the only option.
[Xoom General] Legacystar:
im sure someone will make an app that will link to your phone and let you remote control your texts from the xoom
[Xoom General] AndyMan386:
excuse my lack of knowledge for google voice. I tried to do a little quick research.. If I want to keep my number (I have had it since like 2002), I am reading that you can pay to port it to GV? So I would pay the $20, and then I would be good?

Edit:

Wait I just saw porting actually cancels your current phone service, no way I am doing that...
[Xoom General] jaeisber:
Yes and no. You would essentially be porting your number to google and would then need to get a new number from your cell provider. You may be hit with an ETF if you are still on contract though.

In it's simplest form, Google Voice is essentially a forwarding service. You have a number with GV that will forward calls and texts to the phones that you have set up. For example, I have my Nexus One (personal), iPhone (work) and office phone configured. WHen someone calls my GV number, it rings all three phones. When I get a text, it is forwarded to any mobile device with GV installed and set up with my account.
[Xoom General] Xevilious:
What about VoIP using Google Voice on the Xoom?
[Xoom General] AndyMan386:
I hope so, because I dont want to use a different (GV) phone number, and I am not interested in porting my number; messing up my contract...

If anyone knows any good developers, ask them if they think some type of program is even possible. It would be worth a few bucks
[Xoom General] MichaelWestin:
You know what.. and I really hope this becomes the solution.. it just seems to make sense. Does anybody know about that Sony Ericson bluetooth device that comes with a strap to look like a watch? And it kind of gets data from your android phone such as text messages, weather, incoming/missed calls etc.

So you keep your phone in your pocket, but have all the info you may want to check right on your wrist.

If you could just sync your android tablet with your android phone through BT, just like that SE product, so you can use its data connection, receive/respond to text messages, that would be awesome. I can see a problem in this where carriers want to double dip by making u get a separate plan for each, but with wireless hotspot it doesn't even matter. It just makes everything more convenient.

Maybe its just me, but something like this would be a HUGE feature in my eyes. Plus, it gives people a reason to use not one but two android devices. Win-Win for Google, and users who like both products.
[Xoom General] EnderTheThird:
I agree. I'm trying to hold out on the WiFi-only version as well, and I would love to be able to answer text messages on my Xoom. Swyping on my Evo is really easy, but not having to switch devices would definitely be worth a few bucks!
[Xoom General] AndyMan386:
hahahahaha so crazy you say that. Back in 2004 I almost dropped out of college to attempt to patent the watch like idea.. after consulting with a friend whose dad was a patent attorney, he said there were some similar ideas floating around, and the risk likely wouldnt be worth it.. Regardless, for my MBA last year, we had to create a new product. When I shared this idea with my group members, and told them how it was an idea I came up with back in 2004, we went with it, was a fun class project!

For what it is worth, my Galaxy Tab let's me send texts from the Galaxy Tab phone number.

Another reason I went with Sprint over Verizon. Sprint was $29.99 for 5GB and unlimited messaging versus Verizon which was $20 for 1GB and no messaging.

I'm kind of bummed the Xoom won't be on Sprint initially, but oh well...I don't really *need* another number to text from. :P
[Xoom General] Andy2.2:
Is it possible to insert your mobile's sim card into the tablet and be able to use the data of your existing phone contract? :confused:
[Xoom General] dp92180:
This is a CDMA device. I don't think there is a sim card slot.
[Xoom General] TheNibbler:
The Xoom is CDMA, but there is a (micro, I believe) sim card slot. It will be used when verizon rolls out 4g. Unfortunately this doesn't mean that GSM sim cards can be used.
[Xoom General] AndyMan386:
another way of maybe doing it is if we got something like "MyMobiler" for android, and a version that rather pc viewing cell, tablet viewing cell..

Need some help with using VPN on my MyTouch 4G to a Windows 7 machine. Am using Asto with SMB module and EStrongs file explorer to access file shares on the Win 7 box (was trying both to see if either worked). While connected to network via wi-fi, all works great - can see and access all file shares, etc. Not working with trying to connect via VPN.

Have the Win 7 box set up for VPN, have the ports open on the firewall, and can get a successful connection between the phone and the Win 7 box. I can see that there is connectivity on both the phone and the Win 7 box. Can't seem to open any of the file shares on that win box, however.

[Atrix 4G General] GuestK0050:
Well I won't say it's not cool in theory but all the reviews have said it's not worth it.

If you take it at a discount then you are forced into the additional $25/month tethering plan. An extra $600 over 2 years. I see no value in it.

It's a bit cheaper to get it full price and see if it can't just be hacked to work without a tethering plan.

At any rate. Good luck either way.

May not be an option, but if you can return it and get the phone at Radio Shack they offer you a $150 Gift card if they don't have one in stock. They also sell it for $479 non-bundle price.

Even if they don't have it in stock they can have it shipped to your house though.

I backed up and successfully restored a ROM no problem.

My question is if i change the CWM version to a different partition size to load a brand new ROM from a different CHEF, will I be able to 'restore' the previous back-up from the old build? DO i need to reflash the OLD CWM to do it? Or will the restore take care of everything?

I don't know if anyone else is having a similar problem but PLEASE help!! I've looked all over the internet and XDA and, as far as I can see, I can't find a similar problem. I have an EVO 4G

I recently downloaded and installed the new Cyanogen 7 Stable (From CM6) and suddenly my voice mail doesn't work normally. Every time someone calls me, after the normal 4-5 rings or w/e, instead of the usual "please leave a message" message, a computer says "please enter the subscriber number, followed by the pound(#) sign".

I've never heard that before and I just figured out that anybody leaving a message has to put my phone number in 'again', to be able to leave a message. I don't think a lot of my older customers will understand how to leave a message.

I've been using 'Phone Fusion Visual Voice mail' if that could have anything to do with it.

Thank you so much ahead of time for your help!

There isn't a CM7.0 stable out yet. The latest "stable" is the RC1 but there are still issues. Probably there is nothing you can do but wait for a newer rom.
