[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Samdeath:
Its actually really simple, it just looks confusing. CWM has 3 partition sizes for your phone memory, 150 250 and 400. These are the sizes your ROM can be with the respective types of CWM. I use 250. Now to partition your sd card its extremely simple. (NOTE: This is for windows only) Download Minitool partition wizard, load it up with your sdcard connected to your computer, now you should see the sdcard will be one partition formatted as FAT32. Now, if you right click on that and select move/resize then drag it to how big you want your A2SD partition to be. (THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT Drag it from the right so that the grey box is on the right of the FAT32 section. Dont make it larger than 1024 MB, however mine is 512MB and it is more than enough) Right, so now right click on the unallocated part of your sdcard and select create. Make it primary, not logical. The file type should be either EXT2,3 or 4. (I use 3 as it seems to be the most compatible) and there you go, done :)

Hello all, noob problem but i am running Ginger Villain 1.1 with Apps2SD (Google + Darktremor A2SD+). I have formated my SD card through CM-AlphaRev Recovery v2.5.1.8 and the OS does not seem to see the ext3 as it still says i only have 183MB.

Can anyone help or refer me to a thread that can.

Thanks in advance.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarkom:
Hello all

I have had my nexus one for quite a while now and when i bought it the bootloader had already been unlocked, but it had not been rooted yet. The problem I am having is the lack of space the nexus one has for installing apps as apps2sd is dependent on the developers.

So after some research i have found an app called 'ModInstallLocation' which tells me i can install apps to my sd card but it needs the phone to be rooted. Is this correct?

This is where i need some help. I hear all this talk about rooted phones and custom roms and i understand the idea behind it but have no technical knowledge to do this.

At this time i am happy with the stock version of android i have on my nexus (2.2.2 FRG83G) its just the lack of space i have to install apps that's forcing me down this road. I am sure there are many other advantages to rooting and i hope to discover them in time.

Could someone please give a helping hand and point me in the right direction for an idiots guide. I am a bit scared of bricking my phone tho, never endeavored on anything like this before.

Many thanks

JW
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarkom:
thanks you for your response, think that explains how to proceed.

couple more questions if you could help.

1. Do i have to install a custom rom after i root?

2. As i have not got much experiance in this field should i wait for the OTA update to gingerbread before i root?

many thanks

JW
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
1. No, if you're ok with stock ROM - you can stay with it.

2. Not really, depends mostly on what you're looking for. Gingerbread will still land on your phone (and unroot you), as long as you're using stock ROM and recovery.
[Atrix 4G General] nr2134:
Not that I care, but my GF is looking into getting the Atrix. Unfortunately, she noticed that graphical representation for smileys does not show up in the stock chat client on the Atrix. I guess she is big on those with her friends. So if you type :-P, thats all you get, not the green alien looking thing. You guys gettting the same thing?
[Atrix 4G General] DarkSi08:
Yes. It's minor, but it sucks.

ohh i don't see them either, i can see the picture when i'm selecting them but when i send them i don't see them

[Vibrant General] tenbeau:
I went by the local into mobile store (which is now a direct outlet for corp store for T mobile.) and a rep I know showed me the Samsung 4g demo they just got in today. I really like the silver color in the back and the it seems to have a slightly heavier feel to it. Feels better in my hand than my Vibrant does. The demo was fast and very smooth and could not detect any lag. It was showing 4 bars of H and was very very fast downloading from market. Seemed even smoother than the custom roms I have (and have now) have used. I was a little impressed. I still do not believe it is worth an upgrade from my Vibrant but it does have me thinking. Anyone else have any comments or experience with the new 4G?
[Vibrant General] TheShadowMan:
I got a friend who's a T-mobile rep and one who's a T-Mobile store manager (both at the same store) and I got to play with it a little while. It was pretty nice. It definately feels a little snappier than any of the roms I've used on my Vibrant. I'm pretty stoked about picking mine up tomorrow morning.

And for all the haters pondering as to why I would by a V4G when I already had a Vibrant? I sold my Vibrant for $250, I'm paying $200 for the V4G = no money out of my pocket. $50 extra FTW.
[Vibrant General] mavictb:
thats cool man... I honestly feel this phone is a decent upgrade untill the summer dual core phones drop. I also am picking one up as soon as my t-mobile opens tomorrow. I'm giving the vibrant to my smartphone virgin girlfriend who couldnt be happier to get my vibrant with bionix V and the purple theme. in turn I get a new SGS4G by starting a line for her and in 5 months im elegable for an upgrade on my line... hello dual core phone.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Yeah i got some hands on time with one a few days ago. It was nice but not impressive. The S2 will be the game changer for me not this one but it still is a nice phone, just only a tad better than the Vibrant
[Vibrant General] sahil04:
Did you upgrade in order to get the discounted price? If so imo that was a horrible decision with the dual core phones on the horizon and the Vibrant 4G just isn't worth the upgrade with only a few benefits over the original.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Shhhh! Don't say that.

It's cause the screen is nice, obviously...
[Vibrant General] TheShadowMan:
Nope. :D It pays to know people.
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
I thought tmobile doesnt allow subsidized phone prics until two years from previous upgrade. How will u be eligible for an ugrade after 1 year since ur last upgrade?

[Vibrant General] tyyamamoto:
Important note on internal app storage for the Galaxy 4g...Internal space for apps is about 210mb(1gb total for internal memory this time and the rest is the Rom, etc)...I barley put on any apps and it keeps giving me the warning that my memory is full and I need to uninstall apps even though it says I have 50mb free :eek:...I already moved every app I can the the SD card but missing the old Vibrant's internal storage already...Not going to be so easy to just flash new ROM's either. On a positive note, the phone is fairly responsive compared to Bionix running at 1.4ghz. Of course you can tell the differance, but it doesn't feel as slow as I thought it would :)
[Vibrant General] Finland_2_Cupertino:
He has a friend that should be fired for beating the system and causing the prices of phones to continue to go up. He should be ashamed of himself.
[Vibrant General] JWhipple:
I picked mine up this morning and I have so say that thusfar I am impressed. Does seem to be a bit more snappy than the original, and network speeds are definitely better. I have yet to be able to test the GPS as I picked it up and came straight to work.

A coworker of mine has the original we put them side by side and with him showing a 3G signal I was getting 3000+ on the download speed where as he was only getting 700. He is running the official Froyo update.
[Vibrant General] TheShadowMan:
Haters gonna hate. :cool:
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
thats with 2 year contract, and i believe you didnt have one before otherwise you wouldn't be able to upgrade for that price....
[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
You can upgrade before the 2 year mark. I believe you are eligible for a full upgrade discount after 22 months. You are however eligible for discounts prior to that time but it will be at a smaller discount. Lets say at phone is $199 at full discount, then it will most likely be in the $300 - $350 range at one year. I hope that makes sense.
[Vibrant General] Paging Dr B:
Also note the Vibrant 4G is selling for $149 on amazon right now. Don't tell anyone. ;)
[Vibrant General] darksandz93:
not really sure where to ask this since there isnt a V4G section up yet but has anyone tried rooting this thing yet?

Edit- Right as i went back into general i saw the V4G root thread...whoops! Please ignore.
[Vibrant General] JWhipple:
Yep, roots perfectly using SuperOneClickRoot
[Vibrant General] darksandz93:
jeez that was fast! Thanks man
[Vibrant General] TheShadowMan:
lol ok, well you can ask the XDA member I sold it to then. Or you can just check my post in the marketplace: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957171 And yes, that price IS with a two year contract OR if you know someone on the inside with a discount.

Either way, you're still a jealous tool. :D

Just got my best speed test ever - just check out my sig - on a Galaxy S 4G :-D
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
With source dropping for the dhd and how easy interoperability between our phones is do we need 2 different forums? Seems it would be easier on you guys if things merged.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
I agree. Now that the source is out it would make sense.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
it would be much easier for the DEVS which is more important. they wouldnt have to maintain 2 different threads for the same ROM, Theme or Kernel as well..
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
Very good point.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
so how do we initiate this or would the Mods even entertain this idea at this point since both forums have been established..
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
I suggest we work with the mods on this. I'll report my own thread to get some eyes on it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
sounds like a plan..
[HTC Inspire 4G] borguesian:
yes please merge us!
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
I agree with this. There's a lot of threads I've seen today that are directing you to the DHD forum for further information/troubleshooting - why not make them the same rather than having to post everything twice, or making devs/users have to jump back and forth?
[HTC Inspire 4G] chocodough:
I have to disagree. I prefer the forums seperate.

I could care less what the people in Europe are doing with their Desire HDs. The Inspire is a US phone on AT&T. It has a seperate identity.

Keep in mind even though they are pretty much the same phone, they run on different networks, have different radio software, and are supported by different cell providers. People's experiences will be different than their European counterparts.

Please keep them seperate.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
you do realize that almost everything in our forums are from the europe DHD forums right??? so why have 2?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Anthonok:
I think 2 just to keep it simpler. so that the threads arent filled with issues from the inspire in the desire thread and desire in an inspire thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Masacrk:
if the dev part is merged to make it better for them is one thing, but you still need att specific sub forum for all the posts that are att specific.

The Dev secton right now is NOT the biggest part of this device forum, all the att specific issues are...
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
A European ROM flashed with the kernel just released by apache14 works out of the box with no further user tweaking.

I have a feeling that all the rom chefs of Europe will be building their own kernels based on the source that dropped yesterday which is universal, and includes the variations to the American and Canadian DHDs.

I agree that a sub forum may be needed in General but not Dev.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
yeah I'm not seeing anything that makes this device any different from the DHD device. The DHD forum isn't limited to 1 single carrier so i'm still not seeing your point of keeping it separate...

worst case scenario look at how the Motorola Milestone and Verizon Drioid forum is laid out.. maybe something similar

and besides the DEV section will start becoming the biggest part of our forums now that ROMS and Kernels are out
[HTC Inspire 4G] chocodough:
Also keep in mind that there are a lot of people who like me have no intention of rooting or modding their phone. So the DEV section is useless to people like me.

I used to jailbreak my iPhone for years, but got bored doing it. The only reason I flashed a custom ROM on my Captivate was cause you had to, being that the stock 2.1 was terrible.

Currently outside of the fact that the back speaker is terrible on the Inspire, I am completely happy the way the phone is. I don't feel I need to flash custom ROMs to get a phone to work the way it should. The Inspire currently works just dandy.

So don't assume everyone is into modding.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
there is always the search function. That always helps. Besides where as I know that not ALL people root and load custom roms there are a good portion that do and since that is what the majority do on XDA (D=Developers) then I don't know how relevant your argument is on that one.

did you look at the motorola forum I previously mentioned to you?
[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
Why are you using this forum then? No offense but if I wasn't in to modding my device I would use another less development oriented one like androidforum or something. Most people on xda DEVELOPERS are into development. But I am with you on keeping the dhd and inspire forums separate or at least the dev sections and my only logic on that is because of the sound issues but if the source being released fixes this than I guess there's no point. As far as general I could care less.......
[HTC Inspire 4G] chocodough:
Although I am not really into custom ROMs, I still think this is a great forum to hang out. Plus I think you get a more mature crowd on here who are a bit more techie oriented.

I also read on Androidforums.com and like how they have a separate section for every phone. I think it works, but then again on there I don't think you get the same kind of conversations as you get on here.

As far as what Gunny said, I don't really see a lot of DesireHD stuff in the general section of the Inspire forum. I am sure you do in the DEV section, but so far almost all the threads I see in here are all about the Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
i would be curious to add a poll to this thread.. so far I am only seeing 1 maybe 2 people that may not agree. I'd love to see what general consensus states...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Masacrk:
If you are going to quote me speak about the post don't use me to boost you post count while you spam in every thread here.

I could care less about the euro stuff, am not gonna flash everything posted just to comment about it.

The post counts are highest for rooting and att specific issues. This phone cannot be rooted like the DHD so there is a difference. And the largest section is ATT specific.
[HTC Inspire 4G] L4nc3:
i have a question can i use LauncherPro on the DHD?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
wrong thread... but yes...
[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
Yes
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
can we make our points without all the flaming??? I dont think its necessary and I know that the MODS don't like it either.
[HTC Inspire 4G] L4nc3:
im sorry for choosing the wrong thread >_>

but thanks for the answer !!:)
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
no problem.. anytime
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
Ok now I'll quote you and respond to this post directly

Don't be a douche.

My point in my other post was over the next several days or weeks we won't see a European VS american ROM, thus 2 dev sections aren't needed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ButtonBoy:
OK- I have to be the voice of dissent here. I think the time is not right yet for a conjoined forum. Right now, there are a number of great ROMs for DHD that install easily and run without issues. This is not the case yet for the I4G. I think we need to wait until that happens, then we can merge the DHD & I4G forums, breaking out the carrier specific issues in the General section.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ufgrat:
I agree-- at the moment, there's a lot of bleeding edge going on with the Inspire that isn't on the Desire, because they've worked out these issues. I doubt the Desire folks want to see their threads cluttered up with rants about AT&T's 4G service (or lack thereof) and data plan misadventures.

Eventually, it might make sense to merge the common forums, and create a couple of model specific sub-forums. I just don't think we're there yet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
I don't feel comfortable merging yet. We still haven't resolved the audio issues with DHD ROMs. If that is solved, we should merge, but right now we are going to need ROMs based on OUR stock RUU for proper audio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
I also feel its too soon to have them merged.

We have just started getting an influx of Roms and even though our Inspire 4Gs may look like a duck (Desire HD) it doesnt quack like it til after some modifications.

I'm sure the members in the Desire HD also do not want to have more 'How do I change the onscreen keyboard' type of questions clogging up their threads asking for things like that :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mr. Clown:
We are analizing this idea with other mods and administration and see if it's feasible.

Will post back about the final resolution about this idea.

Thanks,
[HTC Inspire 4G] jkoljo:
While it is true that Inspire and Desire HD have pretty much the same hardware, the userbase and little details make me disagree with merging. For example, rooting is different, radios are different, carrier support and such are different. Those are serious things, and personally I think that people are confused enough with even the current Desire HD forum.. Think about it with different threads for Inspire root (for example), it would become a jungle.
[HTC Inspire 4G] liljom:
I think it's a very very good idea : )

a DHD owner
[HTC Inspire 4G] kamranh3:
I agree, they have the same hardware but they AREN'T the same phone, they could have easily given it the name Desire HD but they didn't, and also since the radio software is different merging runs the risk of people mixing up the radio software causing unnecessary hassle. Fair point people could save time by the forums being merged, but saving a minute or two of their life won't have any substantial difference. Devs don't necessarily need to make a new thread, instead one thread could be made by someone who doesn't mind making it, and it can contain links to everything needed for the Inspire 4G users.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sheanzyy:
It seems like a rational and realistic idea. I just have a feeling, regardless of the oh so powerful search bar, that individuals will continue to ask how to root the Inspire and DHD. Meaning, there is a high chance of confusion for those wandering over to XDA or future active members.

IMO, it's a good idea to merge, but I'm positive there will be floods of confusion to come along with it. Thus keeping them in separate forums would ALSO be a good idea. Just a bit tedious for the devs. :)

+1 .. this is where the confusion would come in.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lilhaiti:
I own neither device. But I think that in the interest of the devs, the forums should at least me made into a "combo" forum which has a common developers section and and then model specific sections. That way when a dev develops a ROM, kernel, mod or whatever; they do not have to post it in two different sections. Just my thoughts on it. I think that could work just fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
This is exactly what I was thinking too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tolis626:
Well,as much as a good idea it is,I will have to agree with my friend jkoljo.Things with these new devices are different that with older HTC ones.Most users here are of my level I think;most of us know some things,but are not entirely sure about everything we do.Seeing how I was confused and afraid of f*cking up when I first began modding my DHD,I think many users will have these kinds of problems.

What would,in my humble opinion,be a viable solution,would be to merge the forums,but create two different sections with guides about rooting etc for each device respectively(or at least two different sticky threads that contain everything needed).Roms can be the same.If a way to solve the problems that lead to confusion is found,I think merging the forums would be of great benefit to both devices and their respective communities. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] DutchDanny:
+1 let development go a bit futher.....

It was the same with HD2 forums with 512Euro and the 1024Tmous devices.

If you merge, the jungle will only lead to more quetions and useless thread filling.

Try to keep seperate as long as possible.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AJerman:
I also don't own either device, however, I wouldn't merge the forums. Those of us who are veterans would have no issue with merged forums, but we do this for everyone. For those who are new, it would be confusing not only to realize that the phones are nearly identical, but ROM packages can't be exactly the same with small differences even in just the modem (which I assume there would be due to different carriers).

I see this as similar to the current Galaxy S forums. The actual differences between the different versions of the Galaxy S are very small, but we still have separate forums to keep the different packages separate.

Another issue is that developers for one likely don't have the other phone (especially since we are talking about Europe vs US), so they can't test their software to be 100% sure they work on both. This means that there are two options, the developer can maintain a thread in each and base any bugs on user feedback and blindly build their software without having the actual phone, or have testers on the other phone, which probably wouldn't be a big deal most of the time, or they can have someone else who has the other phone as a partner of sorts to maintain a port that's nearly identical, but can be tested before release.

Either way, I think both ways can work fine, so it's really just up to people who actually own the phones to decide what works best for them. Either way seems just as easy for the devs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
Bottom line is you guys can go on and on it isn't going to matter. It's what the mods and admins decides.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DutchDanny:
We are a community, and if we speak and give usefull info, there is no reason that they will not listen to the community, the mods are also the community.

Don't think our opinnion is not taken seriously.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
You guys have made some persuasive arguments and the more I think about it maybe staying separate for a bit is a good idea. I keep forgetting this phone is only 2 weeks old. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] gimj01:
I perfectly agree...
[HTC Inspire 4G] ilhe1s:
I would merge them but later on down the road once both have a solid base. I know the DHD has been out longer and there is tons of development already for it, but wait for the Inspire to catch up somewhat.
