first time poster..few questions - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello..I have been lurking around here for quite sometime now and since an easier method for root has been found for v3 leakers I have a few questions..I have seen roms that leave sense intact such as plain jane but want to know if swype will work with it..i actually signed up to get the beta version of swype not the ones that have leaked in other forums..also my main reason for wanting to root is to get apps2sd..and read somewhere that the stock sd card makes it harder to do this..true or not?? I really dont want to get flamed for this posting so if there is someone that can genuinely help me out with my questions please do so..
Thanks

To answer your second question our stock card is a class 2, the slowest class and you can't move your Dalvik Cache to your card without a class 4 or it'll be too slow. Really you probably want to upgrade to a class 4 or 6 if you're going to do apps2sd but you can do it on the stock card.

Thanks..Hungry Man..would you happen to know the highest sd card the eris can accept..16 gb? I am pretty sure that I can root my phone without problems but want to make sure I have read enough to understand what it is that I am doing and why so please excuse the newbie questions.

I don't believe there's a limit but 32GB is insanely expensive, 16GB is expensive enough. I would suggest getting a class 4 16GB.

to tell me to "search" is not what i was looking for.

[Q] Still worth partitioning?

I have a class 10 32GB card in my phone and I do realize the GS II is leaps and bounds ahead of older devices like the G1 and the original MyTouch 3G... So I was wondering if there was still any reason for me to partition the SD card *I have a lot of dead space since I moved all my music collection that was on my phone to Google Music...*
If it's still worth doing what sizes should I set for the partition and the swapfile?
Do I need to run a certain rom to take advantage of this or will it work with all roms?
Or, should I not bother...
Also is it better to keep my apps on the internal memory of the phone or my own SD card? Which will give better overall performance?
Thanks.

And let me add to that, what if one has a 64GB card. Would partitioning increase speeds?
LOL. yes, also a good question ;-)
Can no one answer this?
I left my 64gb card as is. It's functioning quite well for me

Let me ask you this: Why was the swapfile necessary/useful on the G1 and other such devices?
Once you answer that question, compare the answer to your SGS2 and ask yourself if the answer still applies.
Then you'll have your answer to your original question.
Here, I'll save you some time. The SGS2 does not need a swapfile.

[Q]Can I transfer my Memory card to new phone?

I have a new Rezound and I am new to your Forum, and very much a noob. Please forgive my ignorance. I have a couple of questions for you.
1. Can I transfer my memory card from my old rooted (and loved) Incredibile to my new stock (and on the fence) Rezound? I had everything backed up on the old memory card with Titanium and was wondering if I could restore at least some of my Apps/Upgrades to the new phone?
2. Can the Rezound handle a 32 or 64GB memory card, I love watching movies on my phone in waiting rooms.
3. Maybe the dumbest question of all, where is this "thank you" button everyone wants pressed. (what would be a fair donation for learning how to root and program my phone?)
Thanks, in advance for any help you can provide.

1. Yes, but restore at your own risk, and never system apps.
2. Yes, I use a 32 right now.
3. Bottom right of their post.
3b. Entirely at your discretion. What's it worth to you, how much can you afford? Those that you donate to won't be offended at your donation, whatever it is.
Welcome to the Rezound.

Yup you can transfer and update with the apps you have there.
I know it can handle 32 but some people say they've gotten 64 to wish.
If you're using the app you have to long hold someones post to get the option to thank. On the regular Site or should be under the post.
Fair donations are whatever you can spare.

Which SD Cards Work With S5830i?

I saw a old thread similar to this but I wanted to post a new one because:
I have a 32gb class 10 San Disk sd card and it doesn't work with my phone. It doesn't readily read, i have to keep on reinserting it, and at times my phone asks to format it because its broken. I use a custom rom (razo droid latest version).
Which 32GB sd cards are reliable and definitely work with this phone? If people reply with one's that don't, I don't mind editing the first post with a list of SD cards to stay away from with this phone.
Nice development thread you got here. Is it too hard to go to the General section instead of development?
Try to ask it here
You will get more answers

Already Done Bro
I'm terribly sorry for making such a stupid mistake. Really I am, I know I'm a noob, and unfortunately too many people like me are here, sorry.
Going back to the post, from first hand experience should
san disk class 10 32gb micro sd card work on a custom rom of s5830i?
So what he accidentally posted in the wrong section,everyone makes mistakes... what I find funny is the fact that the people who are making fun of him attempt to do so with what they undoubtedly believe are witty comments and comebacks, but half the time they don't make sense and end up failing completely
To those of you who simply reported it to get it moved to the general section you're clearly more mature than most, especially those who simply have to post cocky comments
Back to the question now, I think 32 gig is supported, I had a problem like yours with my brand new 8 gig SD card it turns out there was a problem with it,i got it exchanged and everything works perfectly now, I suggest getting it checked out or exchanged especially if your phone keeps saying to format it because its damaged or unable to read it

You haven't flooded the forum it's meant to be here, this is the place to put questions, as long as it's new and you've searched beforehand, areebjamal and others are only annoyed that noobs post new topics to easy questions without searching and easily finding there answer

Some help please

Hey there guys I have a galaxy tab 2 7.0 and the only reason I've rooted is so I can use app2sd, for the last few days I've been reading and researching now I have a tablet that is running CyanogenMod 10.1.2, I have been asking for help on this thread for 2 days now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137606&page=79
However I'm stuck now because app2sd says there is no space left and titanium backup does not show me the send to sd option, I'm hoping to give this tab as a gift to a child so I want to fill it with 16gb of games 8gb internal 8gb external, that's the theory anyway and I hope to have this finished by Monday it is 3am Sunday Australian eastern time, I'm asking for help here because this seems to be a bigger section of the website and I'm hoping more people would be able to see this and help out.
I'm at the point of giving up and kinda regret rooting and installing a custom mod since I haven't achieved my intended goal.
Thanks in advance.
