Hi everyone.
Just migrated over to andriod from the windows mobile forums, and I have a new white simfree hero with the new firmware 2.73.405.5.146733 just flashed.
1-Is it possible to instal my apps to the sd card, instead of the default phone memory? (what app, and how to for a android novice, I guess I am not rooted?)
2-Is there anyway to use the barcode scanner without logging in google services to download stuff?
Thanks in advance, I just wish I had migrated from windows mobile ages ago, as the hero and android operating system rocks...

it is possible, called a2sd or apps2sd, and is default in some custom roms, e.g. modaco. check out the dev section of the forum.

do you need to install it or use? afaik it is independent from google when using, it just uses the google websearch for found products.

well, ages ago there was no android and the htc hero is the first device that really rocks, not only IMHO. so you're right on time, we just got the kernel sources, so the hacking has begun
Thanks for your time kendong2...
I have tried the APP2CD application cheers, but I can't get it to work?, i.e. I open the program and it says the SD card is not formatted correctly, and gives you a slide bar for the fat32 and ext2 partion size, I move the bar click apply then it goes to a screen that gives you a reboot buttton, but when i press the button nothing happen? (I tried to manaully shut down and restart my hero, but no change made?) I don't know wheather flashing the new rom has changed anything in android http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559613
The barcode scanner issue is when i use it to scan a barcode of my pc monitor, it asks me to log into googlemail, or won't let you use it? i will try to use the barcode scanner from within the hero (navigate through hero's browser to download page) and see if it asks the same from googlemail?
Thanks again for your help.
i think you need a rooted device for apps2sd. have you considered installing modacos custom rom? apps2sd works automatically there...
as for partitioning: there are tutorials on how to partition the sdcard manually, i would suggest you to install amon-ras recovery image, as it brings the feature of automatically partitioning your sdcard.

Just a little addition to this -i'm pretty sure that Apps2sd only works on the Modaco rom - i couldnt get it to work on the stock rom. The second i updated to Modaco it worked a treat.
Hi men.
Let's talk here about running Ubuntu on our blackstones.
Right now we can boot Ubuntu arm on our blackstones, based on the 'omnibuntu' files. it seems to work well but screen calibration is still difficult...
you can find useful links on the last pages of the android thread (i'm on my blackstone right now and it's difficult to copy and paste all the links) but let's leave the android thread for android...
let's see how far we can get from now
FIRST I WANT TO SAY BIG THANKS FOR THOSE WHO HAD MADE GREAT WORK TO BUILD BLACKSTONE LINUX KERNEL!
WITHOUT IT THIS TREE IS NOT TO BE POSSIBLE.
Here is lidle howto because make lidle bit sense to boot ubuntu.
1.First you have to make partitions to your memory card.(WARNING!!!!!! IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING YOU MAY LOSE YOUR DATA)
-start ubuntu live cd 9.04 in your pc wich you find here:http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ (I think that everyone can burn iso image to cd, but if not just ask)
-in your blackstone go Start-Settings-Connections-USB to PC and select Disk Drive (If you want use activesync you have to change it back to ActiveSync)
-connect your blackstone to pc and make partitions with those instructions witch found here:http://linuxomnia.sourceforge.net/Howto.pdf
2.Second you have to put ubuntu files write places.
-download attachs (fatfiles.zip) and extract to first partition
-download omniubuntu-rootfs.tar.gz here:http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxomnia/files/ and extract it and put files to second partition
3.Boot.
-in blackstone filemanager go to storage card and start haret
-select run and ubuntu will boot
-as fast as you can, move the keyboard lidle bit down because until you can`t calibrate the screen
-when it seems to stop buuting is time calibrate screen
-tap first up left to screen and move up the cross and let off, next make same up right, down right, down left and middle of the screen
This is how i get it works(First i only tap the screen.Second tap i let and hold stylus on the sceen and move it up the cross.In the same way i do to top right....ec.)
-one more tap and that is it
AND AS USUALLY ALWAYS IT IS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Start debian installer
You can run debian install by downloading one iso from:http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.3/arm/iso-cd/ and extract it to second partition wich is ext2 and put attachs and initrd.gz in first partition wich is fat.Initrrd.gz you will find here:http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/armel/images/daily/versatile/netboot/
Also put vmlinuz in second ext2 partition and after all boot installation with haret.I am not yet finished installation.
You can extract iso file with 7zip.
You have nearly 400 views and only 2 replies. I feel that if you are going to keep this thread alive and vibrant with lots of posts you need to layout exactly what it is you are doing because a large number of people have no idea what this is all about and why they should get involved.
Then give very detailed and straight forward instruction on how to install such software, but make the instruction idiot proof.
Consider a description or screenshots to help people grasp your concept.
Thanks and good luck as whatever it is you are doing sounds interesting.
hi sakkeus.
very interesting, thanks!
a couple of questions:
-which initrd were you using with ubuntu?
-can we use the same ubuntu partitions to run debian?
thanks!
let's keep trying and testing

None initrd to fat partition.All system files are in second ext2 partition except zimage default.txt and haret.
I think that debian installation needs more room in ext2, but otherwise same parts.

thanks, sakkeus, but when I try to launch ubuntu using your default, haret says 'couldnt find initrd'. when I remove the initrd line from the default, ubuntu boots well (excepting the screen calibration) so I think ext2 files are ok.that's why I asked.
if it works it would be interesting to see if anyone can get Maemo to work on the hd it's the same os used on the Nokia N900 and heavily based on Linux
yes, Heefy is right!
everything sounds interesting,but i know just a little about linux.
can u explain us?

Hi, sakkeus.
What do you thing about trying ubuntu MID edition?

It is distributed as an image file, but if you know how to install it (and which image would be the best) I can give it a try.

Did you really get fat files from this thread second post because i just chek the default text wich is there and there in no initrd.

Found something than can be useful.
Once in the ubuntu desktop, if you press 'ctrl+alt+del', go to console mode and type 'exit', you go back to the calibration screen.

I'm no longer keeping up with NAND on the vogue. So if anyone would like to keep me informed and email me or post me on any changes with NAND, ill be happy to add the news on the first post. The lock up issue with NAND has been fixed!
This is simply for any noobs or others who are having issues with Android and NAND.
IMPORTANT!!!
FOR VOGUE USERS ONLY
I am not responsible for any bricked or messed up devices. By continuing you are agreeing to my simple rule.
MY SIMPLE RULE: I owe you nothing.
I will help you through the way though if you bricked or need any sort of help.
How-to Video up NOW!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gTkJkOc7m4
First off, What is NAND?
To keep it simple...its your phones internal memory. Up untill recently we (Vogue Users) had to run Android off our SD cards using HARET. But thats another story.
What are the benefits of running from NAND? (based on what I have seen)
-Runs faster
-Longer Battery life
-faster boot up
-can be faster to put together.
-Easier to connect your vogue with android to your pc and sync
-Much more convenient.
So how do I start?
STEP1:
The Build
First you need to find a Build that is usable with NAND. Most Hero builds at this moment are not. Here are some links:
Donut 1.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591104
Hero
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603028
Cupcake 1.5
Method 1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593786
DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING JUST YET! I WILL TELL YOU WHEN A GOOD TIME WOULD BE
You may want to consider reading the rest...
STEP2:
Base Files (Most builds will supply these)
For all builds (Except the Link in Cupcake "instructions are givin in the download.) you will need a basic set of base files. The link below contains the 3 basic empty files for all builds and Systems.
http://cid-e5302e6abd554cb9.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA/Androidstuff.rar
IF
You are using Hero make sure you download hero.user.conf too:
http://cid-e5302e6abd554cb9.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA/hero.user.conf
-create a new folder called conf
-and place hero.user.conf in your new folder.
STEP3:
Rootfs
After you have the Base files you will need a rootfs. Depending on your Build, you may need a different type then the one I am going to supply you. Most builds will supply you with one. This one is DZO's rootfs.
http://cid-e5302e6abd554cb9.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA/rootfs.img
STEP4:
Prepare
-You need to clean out your storage on your SD. Make sure you delete everything.
-Create a file called android on your desktop.
-Download the base files, unzip, open folder, and place all 3 in your android folder
-Download the rootfs and place them in your android folder. Make sure you either download DZO's or the one your Build provides.
-Download a System.img. When you download a System most likely it will have a different name such as system-hero-123.img. You need to rename it system. So it should look like system.img . Then place it in your android folder.
-If you are using Hero place your conf folder in your android folder.
-Depending on your Build (mostly Hero) you may also need a Data file. The build you select should supply one. Download it and place it in your Android Folder
STEP5
Placing
Open up your android folder of all your collected files and select all, copy, and paste into your empty SD card.
STEP6
Unlocking
If you have never flashed a ROM before than you don't have HardSPL installed. So unlock your phone with...
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370
Make sure you follow the forums directions.
STEP7
Method
Method1: The way I do it.
Download ROMUpdateUtility.rar
http://cid-e5302e6abd554cb9.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/XDA/ROMUpdateUtility.rar
Extract to a newfolder
Download a kernel with your screen size
http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D
Don't know your screen size...check this out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544906
After you have have gotten the kernel:
rename it to RUU_signed and place it in the ROMUpdateUtility folder you created.
NOW you need to plug your phone into your computer. Establish active sync. And run ROMUpdateUtility.
-Follow the Instructions on the screen.
Method 2 and 3 can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593786
This also shows my method...but a little less detail. You can also find many other helpful things there.
If you fail OR think your bricked your phone.
You will need to download one of these depending on your carrier...Make sure you download the shipped gps rom. (If you are Verizon skip down)
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=191607
Than you will put your phone in boot mode. Hold the Camera and Power button. While holding both of them...get a pen or something small and hit the little restart button on the bottom of your phone. You may have to hold it for like a second.
-you will see three color bars on your phone
-plug your phone into your computer
-run the backup
After your phone is all back to normal. Make sure you run internet explore on your phone. It will enable you to get data.
For Verizon follow the instructions here.
http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS
That is about it. I'm sure I forgot some stuff and will add on to this. Make sure you donate to the Devs for all their hard work.

great thread. I've run both from nand and sdcard. i have not messed with ext2 on the sdcard.
I agree with 3 for sure. I would also add that there is a deep gratification in wiping win mo off the sdcard
6 is debatable, depends on which conveniences you want. changing lcd.density, changing resolution are all much faster running from the sdcard - no flashing or messing with build.prop, just edit default.txt and reboot (aside - if you have a non-sdhc card you can flash on the fly from the sdcard, but changing lcd.density still requires pulling and pushing files from the system, which is not as easy as changing the default.txt). also more convenient to back-up or revert to a data.img when running from sdcard. definitely booting straight into android is convenient, as is the new mass storage on boot method, as well as having a re-writable system (which you also have using ext2).
1 and 2, I honestly have not noted a significant difference in battery life. With a fast sdcard, I don't think there is a significant difference in speed either - dzo has said this in one of the non-vogue forums as well. i have not tried any sense builds from the sdcard though, and that's where you would notice the greatest difference in speed if there is any.
4 I agree with in general.
I think running from the nand is a huge advance, and great for everyone to try. but, running from the sdcard is still a decent way to use android. choosing between the two comes down to choosing which conveniences suit your usage style the most.
One last thing - please add vilord to your donate links (his google ion on vogue thread), he has been instrumental in developing the ril and advancing android on the vogue. srwalter also deserves mention for his reverse engineering of the libgps.so to bring gps first to cupcake and now to donut as well. jamezelle, plemen, mssmison, zenulator, enatefox, f00bar (no specific order) have all worked hard porting roms and working on things like compcache, swap, modem, etc, which has all been invaluable (zenulator and mssmison deserve special credit for spearheading the porting business). however the gruntwork of porting to the vogue has been done mainly by dzo who brought us the kernel and initial ril and now nand (he's just frickin amazing, he singlehandedly got the first functioning port to the vogue and others helped from there), then vilord who took the ril and really refined it. I guess suffice to say, there have been a lot of people involved along the way, thanks to all of them.
when i try to run android from both nand and haret i always get an error about not being able to mount sd card. does this mean i need to reformat the card? if so how do i do this?

it could theoretically run off of a 512, but you would be a little cramped on space
i guess android doesnt like some of them

If you are using donut...try to restart your phone one time. After it boots back up you should see a 3g symbol appear on the notification bar.

Tell me if that works...
Hi i have a sprint htc hero that i have rooted successfully with the Modaco Custom ROM 1.1 Core but now i need help finding a apps2sd download that will work w/ this ROM and is for my phone..... I've read a few posts on people that have somewhat done this already but i honestly don't understand what they are talking about when they refer to the terminal? how do you even reach that on this phone? I have a 2GB memory card w/ like 978MB open all i need is the download and how to install it in simple terms i learned a little with the linux OS but wasnt the best with cmds! does it matter what OS your comp has? ive got Umbuntu 9.1 and Windows XP. Can anyone plz help me i dont want to have risked rooting my phone for nothing! and Thanks in advance!
You have to partition your sdcard then apps2sd is automatic when phone is loading
ok great wat do you suggest with the amount of memory i have left i should partition it? do i need to back up my memory first wipe it then partition it and add it all back? thanks again!
I have my ext2 partition set to 500mb and its always best to back everything up to be safe
ok sorry i must be stupid! Im in my recovery n i hit the option to part sd fat32+ext2+swap but it never gave me option to set anything... wat am i doin wrong?
That's ok it sets it all up for you I'm thinking it sets it to a 500mb ext partition
ok ok so basically when i reboot next time i download an app from the market itll automatically save to my SD? cuz i dont see that option either im not sure it worked! thanks again for all your help.
Yup that's the way it works
you can check to see if apps2sd is working by setting it up, download an app, and then get into adb and cd to system/sd/data and then ls and you should see the app listed in that spot
Ok I'm not exactly sure what adb is...... but I've downloaded an app looked in my astro file manager went to system/sd/ then I couldn't go any further is that an app for my phone or my computer.
Adb is for your computer. It allows you too manipulate the phone from a command prompt (like Linux terminal).

Hii QNBT,
Well, there are no flashable android ROMs for x1...the chefs are tryin hard to fix all the issues in ext2 and fat32 androids for x1...once they are done with it, we can expect an Android ROM that u can use as the Primary os for ur X1..

Sounds awesome! Thanks for the reply!
I guess it will be running a lot smother that way as well.
yes, it will run smoother from nand. also updated kernel (2.6.35) speeds things up.
but here's the catch:
nand-flash is pretty useless at the moment, because kernels aren't finished. there are still lot's of driver-bugs present which prevent android from being an every-day system.
sweet, i didn´t think that the chefs where working on nand anymore but this sounds awesome =)
There is also an option to install boot Manager... where u could select winmo/ android to boot.. I think you can find it inside xda site..

Thank you! Yes I did try this, but I'm unsure if i picked the right version:
I downloaded this: Gen.Y DualBOOT v1.0.6.0 CABs (QVGA|WQVGA|VGA|WVGA)
All i did was extract this to my sdcard and then move it to /windows.
Is there any part that i actually missed?
Yes you downloaded the right version.
1. You no need to extract all into your SD card, you only need Gen.Y DualBOOT WVGA v1.0.6.0-Storage Card.cab this version.
2. After copy Gen.Y DualBOOT WVGA v1.0.6.0-Storage Card.cab into your SD card, you have to install it to \Storage Card, not \Windows.
3. After install, you have to edit your registry (Use total Commander), the location is at [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT]
4. Find a registry named "AndroidBootFolder", click it and change the content.
5. If your Haret located at your root of SD Card, just leave the content blank
6. If your Haret located in folder, like example NPKBOOT, you have to put NPKBOOT in the content and Save it.
7. After edit your registry, restart your phone and see whether you got the dual boot option or not, if yes that's mean the software install successfully.
Hopes I helped you and sorry for my grammar..

Yes you downloaded the right version.
1. You no need to extract all into your SD card, you only need Gen.Y DualBOOT WVGA v1.0.6.0-Storage Card.cab this version.
2. After copy Gen.Y DualBOOT WVGA v1.0.6.0-Storage Card.cab into your SD card, you have to install it to \Storage Card, not \Windows.
3. After install, you have to edit your registry (Use total Commander), the location is at [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT]
4. Find a registry named "AndroidBootFolder", click it and change the content.
5. If your Haret located at your root of SD Card, just leave the content blank

I will try that when I have some time off, ill report the result after! *thanks*
It works! Thanks!
But the part where you said "leave the content blank", that actually means that i should remove the value, so i got a error message and change it back to "00 00"

Nice tips. Wondering if installing Android this way affects winmo performance ?
For me does not affect the WM speed. Dual boot software help us skipping the step booting into Winmo before entering Android, it was like a 'shortcut'.
