Hello Guys,
I am pretty much new to Android here (Used to be a Windows Mobile user), although I am starting to read and learn more about it. I felt so happy to be out of the Microsoft Mobile spell, it was horrible and the software just lives in the world of its own, it lags at almost anything and in short, it just cant work.
Alright, so I got my Hero 2 weeks back and I wanted to know a few things, which I hope you can help me with it.
- I have about 60 over applications on my SD card, and I wish to use the MoDaCo ROM, How am I able to backup the applications from the current stock rom and transfer them to SD Card or somewhere else?
( Will Market still recognise the apps I downloaded after I flashed my phone to MoDaCo? )
- One more question, everything when the MoDaCo rom releases a new version, lets say from 2.9 to 3.0, must I reflash and build everything from scratch again?
Thanks A Lot,
Jeremy

hi,
well to answer your questions,
you can install all your applications directly on your sd card using app2sd.(it is incorporated in the modaco roms but bear in mind you have to correctly format ur sd card in ext3 partition for app2sd application to work . Once you've done that , you can flash anything and you'll not have any problem.
2)concerning paid applications, yes. market will automatically recognise applications you bought once you sign in your google account(they'll be recognised but you'll have to download it manually) but paid ones, nope.
3)when you upgrade from the same built( meaning from 2.8 to 3.0 modaco for example) , you dont have to wipe before flashing cause both roms use as base the official 2.73 rom. thus you wont lose any of your settings. However, when you upgrade from a modaco rom to community rom 1.6 , you should normally wipe.(builts are not the same here, one being cupcake and the other eclair)

Thanks A lot for your response, and I have some questions again.
- Where could I find an app to format my SDCard to Ext3? Will my Windows PC still be able to read EXT3?
- You mentioned that market will recognise my downloaded applications after I root the phone right? So, I dont really get it - I have to download it manually? Meaning? ( All my apps are free, no paid )
- Its pleasing to hear that I don't have to wipe when I upgrade to 3.0.
- Oh and something which I missed out, I am supposed to flash a Radio at the same time right? Which one is the best to date? I heard that there was many versions. ( I'm using a GSM Hero)
Sorry for the inconvinience.
Cheers,
Jeremy
Hi all, I need some help with my Folio 100. I have installed V1.3b FolioMod on my tablet and apparently everything works OK, all the applications work fine, Wifi is Ok........ but I've noticed that have stopped responding both SDcard slot as the USB port. I tried by all means go back to the stock mod but no way to do it since it seems not to find the SD.
In addition, reviewing the tablet with the file manager seems to be nothing in the internal storage (or folders or files). I´ve tried to connect with my computer using the mini usb port but I can´t.
Could anyone help me to recover my Folio????
Thanks and sorry for my english but It´s rusty
Try removing the battery for at least 5 minutes or so.
Hi Nemo0815, thanks for your response. I have removed the battery for half an hour and no change has happended.
Cheking the Folio in the device storage settings I have found that the total space in the internal storage is 0.00B and I don´t know where is the storage space.
Regards.
this happened once for me too, i just removed the battery, waited 30secs while holding power button down, so i could drain it for all remaining power..
inserted battery and all was ok, and usb was working again.
looks like he's having the filesystem-not-mounting bug.
Hi Dexter_nlb, I have tried your suggestion and the problem is still there.
I´m thinking if the problem could be in relation with the missing storage capacity.
Thanks.
pasting from first post of foliomod thread:
V0.0+ Generic format internal storage for all mods (so far) here, only needed if you got internal storage problems.
Rename downloaded patch to update.zip and install using recovery.
see if that one helps.
uh.. silly me... you have no way of getting it on there :S
you could try to remount using ADB, but i have no clue on how.. it should be somewhere in the foliomod-thread though.
Hi kepler1982, problem is the Sdcard slot don´t work.

you can always reach it with adb and a folioMod installed, through recovery..
so if you can install adb (android sdk tools) + the proper driver, you can at least login and see what is wrong..
but if a sdcard slot is not working at all, that can also be your sdcard not supported, many others has the "16GB" problem using NTFS formatted cards.
make sure the sdcard is fat32 formatted, make sure you put a "update.zip" in the root, when recovery should try and find it..
Hi kepler and Dexter. I´m installing SDV but I never used it before. Some help with this tool are welcomed.
Thanks

Yep maybe it's better for you to have a look in the foliomod topic, in the android dev. section. there you can read what is already possible

read the wiki's opened, those are there to help in such cases..
Hi, I had this problem once and I solved it like this :
1. Extract SD card.
2. Wipe your device, with the blue screen etc
3. Then install FolioMod 1.3d
For me it works, but yes i know all your data will be gone after this...
By the way, thank so much to you Dexter who transform my Folio in a great device. Keep going on !
Same problem
Hi, I have the same proble and symtoms are:
· No sdcard (neither internal nor external). In this state, update fails, because external SD card can't be reached. I've tried FolioMod13d, FolioStock and File system format, but they fail.
· Tablet sometimes starts, but you can't do anything, because neither internal storage is not available, nor external.
· Cannot reach tablet through ADB, because USB link cannot be stablished.
· Have tried extracting battery, pushing on/off button, internal "reset" pin point, putting a piece of paper, tighting screws... no result
· Sometimes, when starting, starts vibrating and keeps all time like that, untill you stop the device.
· And sometimes, tablet even doesn't start, you get only black screen. Other times, you got start screen, but flashing "Android" does not appear.
All things had been tryed on full battery and low battery. Non starting problem appears often when low battery.
Sugestions?
I have to say that your Folio seems to be be very capricious, I never had so much problem with mine.
If you can't switch it on and if it's still cover by warranty try to bring it back to your seller.
Sorry to be unable to help you...
Hi!
I released a SD Version of my ROM.
The Idea behind it is a mix from HTC Hardwarelibs/Settings and APPs but without Sense. The Build is based on a new Desire HD Build (Android 2.2.1). I removed all HTC Widgeds, Sensestuff, etc. But I let some Apps, like Camera, Album, Musicplayer, Clock, EMail, Messanger, Keyboard, Twitter, etc. and you have the HTC System stuff, like the USB connection Menu. It's very nice and fast. As launcher is the Gingerbread Launcher installed.
Try it with e.g. Launcher Pro, Fancy Widget and Smooth Calender.
Working:
All
NotWorking:
- Customize in settings because it's sense connected. You can change background etc. with the long press on desktop.
- USB MASS STORAGE MODE
IT IS DANGEROUS TO USE THIS IF YOU BOOT FROM SD! You boot from SD and then you will export this card over USB, if the system will use the data or system then it crash or corrupt you sd card!
For all SD Builds use MAGLDR mass storage or wince to copy files there.
- You need MAGLDR 1.11/WINCE
- SD Build
- Kernel is almost stock from our git.
- Android 2.21
- No OC or such stuff
- Interactive gouvernor
- completly cleaned initrd
- correct file rights
- rooted
- deodexed
- new busybox with many new system commands
It's made for daily use.
5mA standby
8mA with Bluetooth
Verison 1.71b:
- fixed boot problems on some sd cards
- seperate downloads for magldr and wince users
Download Version 1.7.1b for MAGLDR users:
- Extract the archive to the root of sd. Run magldr, boot AD from sd.
http://www.multiupload.com/V1XATECDLU
Download Version 1.7.1b for WinCE users:
- extract to sd, run clrcad and then run haret
http://www.multiupload.com/AXY46IEWNN
I attached a 1GB userdata if someone need it
I'd like to try but I have WP7 in NAND and MAGLDR 1.12. Would it work? Or I really need MAGLDR 1.13.

hmm, right, for sd version 1.13 is not needed. 1.11 should be enough
awsome news!!! I was looking for a good ROM for SD to dual boot with WP7 and now the search is over thanks a lot Markinus
this rom is great but something going wrong with browsers.with default and dolphin with or without adobe flash plugin installed in some sites browsers crashes
an example for that is www.navimania.gr
Nice to a see a good Rom from an Expert chef
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

What is the name of the Folder? Did you change it in Bootsettings >> AD SD folder?
Hang on i got lift off.... i moved zimage from the root to the android folder. thanks anyway

The folder is android and yeap i changed it in the boot settings

Select <.> and not Android, since the zImage and initrd.gz are in the root folder on the SD card.
Thanks a lot MarkinusX. I was gonna ask you to port this one to SD. It would be great if you can make a vanilla 2.3 based ROM. The CM7 based roms are kinda slow.
Thanks again!
Yea browser crash on some sites is happening in most of the builds.. is there any way to solve it?.. in NAND builds i used to unmount SD card and try that same site and it worked..
Ok, really retarded question, how do I access the settings to change the launcher settings. I have never used Launcher, with ADW there used to be a option in Settings. And when I press menu on home screen, there is notifications instead of preferences.
Browser crashing on every website It just hangs, opens nothing. Cannot even open google.com. Apart from that, feels really good and snappy.
QUICK EDIT: Dolphin Mini is working great
MarkinuX,
There is some battery drain issue. With Wifi on and sync on (no mobile data or bluetooth on), I was having 40mA drain in standy. With sync off just wifi on, it dropped to around 20mA. With wifi off just phone on, it is now a respectable 4-5mA.
Can anyone else check this?
Hmmmmm,
very nice release....
any way to launch the rom through WM without MAGLDR ?
Very nice bild. Confirming dolphin mini works nicely. Where are settings for launcher pro?

Hi!
this was my copy/paste mistake. It's not Launcher Pro, it's the Gingerbread Launcher, there no options. You can get Launcher Pro from Market.

Hi!
in my build wifi works in standby. This is the reason why you see more power. I you want that wifi disabled, go to wifi settings and activate the wifi standby policy.

Hi
Since a moment i have difficulties to install Android build on my HD2.
I am using winmo also then i just run cal and haret: no particular install.
Generraly the installation of a build is fine but when i enter lock mode and i want to wakeup my phone, many time (98%) the lockscreen doesn't appears...
I have difficulties in getting the screen lock in order to swipe and then use Android.
I have many FSCK0001.REC files which are created at the top of my SD.
Is it linked to my problem?
Any ideas?
For the moment i can no longer use Android while winmo is working without any trouble
Regards
Your SD card is corrupt. Reformat.
Not sure
I already try to reformat it or change my SD or make a task29 with a fresh reinstall of winmo but always the same case
something on your windows mobile is creating corrupted files
or android

It's android
It's a bit of a screw up on behalf of the linux/android combo. linux makes those at times when it feels data has been "corrupted."
this has been for the most part solved in my latest revision of the kernel.
Also, this is a dev forum. Please do not post such questions here.
ok but
Ok but where can i post such a question then???
for the moment i try another build "OYPPC-SHIFTPDA_DESIRE HD GLASS V2 & GINGER 2.3.4_V9" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970542) but i think there is the same bug.
I tried all your america droid rom and still have the bug too....
What is the exacte trouble ?

A Google search should have found what you needed.
You could have posted in Android General Q&A.
It will be caused while android is running by:
a crash
pulling the battery
ejecting the SD card
rebooting rather than shutdown (earlier builds only)
accessing the SD card from some other source

Hello! I have (eSTAR GRAND HD QUAD CORE 3G [MID1058G] S/N: 1058142300251 , by downloading apps from internet i somehow managed to get a virus. I got this app called "clean master" which after searching for viruses it found some trojan viruses but even if i disable the service it would still work , and i wasin't abble to delete it because it was system app. that make my tab to lag and go insane( open diffrent windows, automaticlly scroling and stuff, typing by it self) and wierd apps like omniConnect , and porn apps has been installed. The problem is that even if i delete them after reboot or even hard reset the apps are still there and no effect at all!(when rebooting the phone is show that phone is updating evry single time) By doing so reaserch the thing i need to do is reinstall my rom but i can't even find a custom recovery it's probably because my tab is not that popular so popular creators like , clockworkMod , TWRP don't support my device. Then i found this forum know alot about this stuff like flashing roms and stuff so i decided to make a post.
If anyone know how to fix my problem with viruses please let me know.
If you say that i need to reinstall my rom please tell me how because im not really good with androids so i don't really know how to do it.

Ummm I don't think so android cannot get virus that much easily if u r facing virus related problem then just install an affective paid antivirus like avast etc and yes if your problem remain then flash your stock ROM with the help of your PC

I know the problem is that i can't find one even if i wanted to. The antivirus can't delete it after evry single reboot the phone ****ing updates it self and gets the programms back. And every single time you reboot more and more apps apear.
