Hi guys,
Complete 1st time newbie over here. I rooted my CDMA hero 2.1 yesterday for the first time and wanted to flash in the liquidsense 2.1.1. I'm not a techie and so had a few questions however.
1) Liquidsense 2.1.1 should work with my phone, correct? It's Sprint CDMA Hero android 2.1.
2) How do I use apps2sd? Should I partition my sdcard before flashing in the rom? After flashing in the rom? And how do I partition it (what sizes)?
3) Are the apps transferred to the sd card automatically? Or do I do this manually?
Thank you folks,
KP
Anyone? Help?
1. Yes, it will work.
2. I dunno, I don't use apps2sd
3. See #2.

Copy everything from your sd card to a safe place on you computer.Then boot into recovery and scrool down to partition sd card just follow along with default settings.Don't upgrade to ext 4 unless the rom you are flashing has a kernel that supports it.Once that step is done copy the contents of your sd card from the safe place on you computer back to your card.Flash the rom of your choice that supports apps2sd then reboot.I am having a hrd time remembering I think when you d/l the apps and reboot it moves the apps to your sd card.Someone can correct me on this.I'll try to add a link to better instructions later today when I get home.
EDIT: Here is the link to setup instr.

So i ordered a new Class 6 SD Card.
Before this i was on the stock 1GB SD card that came with the G1 with an ext2 partition, and running the latest Cyan mod.
Basically i was just wondering what i need to do when my new card comes. I know i need to partition it to FAT32, and then i was gonna do ext3, and a linux swap. Can i just use sdparted script to do this?
And finally i was gonna try a Hero rom now that i have the SD card that is actually capable of running it. I push it with adb and just flash after partitioning, right?
Is there any way of getting my apps back or am i going to have reinstall everything again? I don't REALLY mind doing all over again, but it'd be nice not to have to. And if it's possible, how?
Thanks for any help/clarification...
dear ally,
there is a app that allows you to back up apps..
p.s. i apologize im not a native speaker..of how do u say..umm ur motherlan
Yes.
First re-partition the card using parted from the recovery menu or using the Amon-Ra Recovery. There are instructions for that littered everywhere in the Q&A and the Developer's forum, just use the search.
To use the Hero ROMs you need to flash the Danger SPL unless you plan on using MicroHero with HardSPL. If you want to use any of the new Hero ROMs they will require the Danger SPL and note the bold. Look up the proper instructions for flashing the SPL before actually diving in.
And no. You don't need to re-install everything. Just use switchrom or BART to make a backup as it will also make a backup of your ext partition. After backing up, just restore it after transferring everything from the FAT32 partition of your old sdcard to the new one.
I just checked and i have 1.33.2005 SPL. I believe that's the correct one, right?
I just tried to push Bart to system/sd...i'm pretty sure i did it right but when i try to store my ext it says it can't open the file.
What am i doing wrong?

Thank you very much...that seems to have worked
I really like this recovery image too
No problem man, glad to have helped.
Download Amon_Ra's new recovery image and look for the 3 way partition option...once partioned, do a data wipe, drag and drop your rom of choice in .zip format onto the root of your sd card and rename it to "update"
Backup for Root users works well for restoring your apps. it can be found in the marketplace. I believe there is a donate version and a free version.
Alright i have a t mobile G1 and i have done the whole rooting thing im currently running cyanogen 6 and i need more sd mem is it possible for me to copy and paste my files on my sd including switchrom and nandroid and bart to a bigger sd card without any problems or do i have to start from scratch and flash a new rom and redo nandroid and switch rom?
Please help im using amon ra 1.7 regular not cyanogen
Thankyou
Plz help forum geniuses
Definitely not a genius, but I have upgraded my SD card before without problem. I don't use switchrom, so I can't verify that part. For the rest of it make sure you do a BART/NANDROID backup from recovery, including the ext partition if you have one. These files will reside on the FAT32 part of the card.
With a card reader on a PC you can select all and copy everything to an empty folder somewhere. Either format the new card on the PC for FAT32 if you don't need any other partitions, or from RA recovery on the phone if you need ext or swap. Copy all the contents to the new card on the PC and do a restore from recovery for the ext stuff. You may want to wait for one of the guys that use switchrom to verify this method will work for you.
Thaanks for the info oldnoob but is it possible for u or anyone else to show me how to this with clockwork recovery I would prefer a step by step or if someone can post a video link or a link to a thread thanks and sry for being so demanding

If you are not running Apps2SD:
- backup your current SD card
- put your backup on your new SD card
- Shutdown your phone
- Remove current SD card
- insert your new SD card
- Boot your phone and you should be good to go.
If you are running Apps2SD, search the forums... there are ways you can do it.

Did you try setting the phone to vibrate - always? Do that, see if it solves your problem.

If you decide to take into Sprint, yes you will have to run an official RUU - you could do either 2.27 or 2.31. I think, all updates, except the latest one, are rootable. So, you should be good to root and put a ROM of your choice.

Once you take a backup of your SD card, you can format the SD card before you run RUU. To flash a ROM, you will have to have the ROM and any related files on the SD card, other than that no other files are "required".
Hope this helps.
Hey Everyone, first off. I love you all. You've made me LOVE my Vibrant and NookColor more than ever!
I have two questions.. (sry my search on the site wasn't working )
1. I had a 4gb microsd card that I used to put the Autonooter for NC on it. Now I'm seeing alot of updates with froyo and overclocking kernels and I want to try them out. But my 4gb card is frozen solid at 32mb, I tried formating a through windows, I read on another post that I cant find at all that theres a better program out there for fully formatting microsd cards back to the original state.. Does anyone know the program?
2. I've been reading daily on the updates for Froyo, Which one is the current most stable version?
----
Thanks!!!

1. Put the uSD card back into your NC. Under the original (BN) Settings ---> Device Info ---> SD card : first unmount the uSD card, then format it. Then remove from NC.
2. Not my thing, no help, sorry.
Thanks for the help on the SD Card! First step done, alot more to go!
Okay, So I installed Clockwork Recovery and made a backup of my system. After I installed clockwork, My nook froze at boot, I figured out how to get into clockwork recovery and I am currently restoring my eclair.
I see alot of people using froyo, which build and what post did everyone do it from? I see alot of eMMC but I see a Development build.. I'm confused as to which one I should get.
Thanks!
I've finally gone to the point of rooting my CDMA Hero, finding an old copy of ROM Manager online that will run on 2.1OS, installing it and flashing ClockworkMod but now that I'm here I'm a little torn. All I want to be able to do is to save apps2SD to make use of my 16GB card but want the least chance of trouble possible as I'm still really new at this.
I noticed at the bottom of the ROM Manager screen that there is an option to partition SD to save apps2SD. Can I just do this and save myself the potential headaches of something going wrong by flashing a new ROM or do I have to flash a ROM that's at least 2.2 or higher before I can partition the SD card to save apps2SD?
Thanks for helping a rookie out.
If you flash a newer rom it includes the ability to move apps to the SD card.
