Database Develop

Save to SD??

Hi, i have got a HTC desire but just a quick question for your nexus one users.
Does Froyo finally allow apps to be saved on the SD?

Yes, it does.

Only if the app developer allows it within the app.
Mods: This thread probably should be moved to Q&A.

Thanks, generally how are you finding the apps in regards them being compatible?
Have the developers upgraded most of the apps yet?

theres a command that you can use to move apps to SD in froyo. (modinstalllocation)

A lot of my app updates lately seem to be for Froyo compatibility and for sd installs. So app developers are getting the Froyo updates out very fast.

Is this an official process? Will it work with any app?

This is not an option! While in this thread respect one another and be helpful to those w/ questions

Thanks tomween1.
Request to Mods: Can you please make it sticky like other Q&A threads..

Thanks goes to Forum Moderator reinbeau for making this a Sticky thread.

Didn't know Reinbeau was a moderator. Thanks!
Great idea, Tom, sometimes people go a little off topic in the development section, asking about very general stuff. Nice to have a more general thread and a more technical thread. ('course now I have another subscription to watch )

Well, Watsa was doing both. Both sides of the fence, if you will. Just that many more happy campers!

I just have to say....thank you thank you thank you.
This ROM is what the Captivate should have been the entire time. It took me awhile to get up to 2.3.5 with GB bootloaders and figure out how to flash it, but all of the info is there one the forums.
The SGS II email app alone made it worth it for me since I can now have my phone on WiFi and get my EAS email with zero problems. The stock 2.3.5 email app was still buggy for Exchange when WiFi was on and this fixed everything.
One question I have though. Can I pretty safely install each iteration of the Illuminance ROM over top of an older one? That is the only thing I was unable to find on the forums. I took the chance and installed 1.1 over top of 1.0.1 and have had no problems. I am just curious as to what is recommended.
Thank you again!

Anyone can make a non-transparent scroll down status(look like stock) for Illuminance v1.1 ROM?
The transparent one might get lag sometime... I am not sure why...?

First... Let me say that I am loving this ROM so far. I have not really been happy with any of the GB ROMS (Paragon RC6 on Froyo was my fav). Anyways, for some reason after flashing this ROM (coming from Obsession with Talon Kernel) I cannot get to me ext_sd card through CWM. From what I understand the CWM thing is part of the Kernel, so I downloaded the latest Samari 1.2 Kernel and flashed that. Still the same problem. Downloaded the Boog KJ3 Kernel and still the same problem. Any ideas what would cause this???
For the record my method for getting around not being able to access the external sd card is to put the files in the phone storage and flash from there.

TW4 for Illuminance
Anyway TW4 can be ported to Illuminance.

To answer your question, yes. You can safely install each iteration of this ROM over or on top of an older one. Right now, each is a full wipe version, meaning you'll have to redo all apps and stuff, but in the future IlluminatedOne said he'd be doing upgrade versions. We'll have to wait and see. Either way it's well worth any effort. This is a great ROM

Just for clarification... the internal 16GB sd card is called /sdcard. And the external sd card is found in the /sdcard folder and is called /external_sd. So is it the internal or external sd card that you're talking about?
Also when flashing anything CWM only allows you to go thru the sdcard (internal one), it says something like, 'install zip from sdcard', it will display the folder for your external sd card but won't let you install from there. That's why everything needs to be on the internal sd card before you try to install it. Hope this helps.

I got FC when I tried to use MiniPaper widget for the first time. And now when I try to open it, it won't open and I can't write anything. Only thing I can do is drag it and delete it. Any idea why?

I get the impression that TW4 doesn't work all that well with GB. For some it works better than others and that's why a lot of DEVs have switched back to TW3, much more stable and no FC's. If you want same look with more options you might try GoLauncher Ex with the TW theme.

I got more (twice ) reasons to do both.. Though Apex 11 is a team effort and I'm just a small part.

There is no way a transparent image can cause lag. All PNGs are optimized.

I will not work on porting TW4, instead I will try to enhance TW3 included. If you want to try, you can try TW4 from Apex 10 thread. Better, try TW3 from Pinnacle for better appearance and a few functionaries from TW4.

Was working for me. Any one else faced this problem? Try clearing data for this app and reboot your phone. Check if that helps.

Yes, same here. As I mentioned earlier, CWM will show the folder with the external sdcard but when you choose it, it just drops back to current internal sd card directory. I've never tried to install anything from my external card from this or any other rom/kernel, but I didn't think you could ever install from an external card. Always had to put it in root directory or at least a folder on the internal sdcard.

And when i try from display settings and i get FC too.

Email
Maybe a silly question, not even sure if it belongs here or general Q&A, but can't seem to find answer. In the Notification bar when I get an email, clicking on the pulldown and email, brings up the GMail view of my gmail account. There is also the stock GB email app, which I found I like the view much better. Is there any way to get the stock email view to come up when going thru the notification bar? Or would I have to delete my gmail app?
I apoligize if this is not really ROM related. But I trust you guys

it is possible to install games on external sd?

Hi guys, I know it is possible to install the games in gameloft external sd, if you wanted to know how to install gameloft games without being in the external sd too?

Your post doesn't make any sense??? The thread title does though so ill answer that.
Cm7 by default uses the SD card (ext) for games apps etc.
Stock rom is more complicated and involves patching the APK im fairly sure.

There is no app that modifies the default path to install mode the date of the games?

It is already mentioned in other threads but if you download GL to SD (app is in Market) you can install gamedata to ext sd
One thing you have to do is start the game from GL to SD app.
And you need a rooted phone for this to work.

How to install NFS:MW?

Sorry if its been asked and resolved earlier. I just downloaded the apk and sd data for NFS:MW. Now the internal memory left on my dhd is like 866MB. And the extracted sd data is around 1.86gb! Where should I move it?? I mean i cant really move it to /data/data/com.nfs...... as there is no space. I have link2sd and a 4gb ext2 partition but not sure how and where to move this sd data.

Useless but funny reply! Just because I don't wanna download game data directly on the device (IDM works way much faster) doesnt mean I got a pirated copy. BUT PHLLEEAAASE can you shed some light over "Google Apps" in Custom Roms HERE...even the one you're using on your Inspire? Thanks for the reply though...gonna keep this thread alive for a while

Issue solved!! Mods pls remove the thread.

Dual Boot!!!

So A While Back I Made A Youtube Video ON DualBooting Any Samsung Vibrent Phone. The Process Worked on all Devices i Tried It My Self
((( I Did Not Make This Process)))
So Like Most i Had To Get My Hands On The S5 For Really No Reason.
As Soon As I Picked It Up Out Of The Box It Went Straight To Rooting
There Arent To Many Good AOSP Roms Out There For The S5 Just Yet But There Are Some Great TouchWiz ...
My Favorite Being
Echoe Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719593
Echoe Rom Was One Of the Roms I Used For My Dual Boot On The S4 So I Decided I Was Going To Give The Exact Same Process A Chance On My S5 .....
And It WORKED!!
I Uninstalled It For Now Due To My Dissatisfaction With All AOSP Roms For Now But As Soon As I Find One I Like Im Defenatly Doin This.
Here Is a Link To My Video I Made On YouTube.
There Is a Link To The Original Thread There And All Of The Nessicary Files In The Discription
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPGd4TPSB5w
none of this is my work just found out that it works
the original thread is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534
yeah its for the s4 and the app will say s4 but it worked for me and im an on the tmobile s5

If this is really working, then well done!

I just came from the S4 and used the same process for dual booting. I will try it out now and post my results. I'm assuming you used chenxiaolong's Dual Boot Patcher to patch the AOSP rom?
How did you patch your secondary ROM?

I'm going to have to try this!

Any update on this did it work? I want to dual boot pac-rom!

How come you can figure out dual booting but cant comprehend capital letters

OP use chenxiaolong's Dual Boot Patcher from this S4 thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534
He didn't mentioned about it. Also Youtube tutorial is for Galaxy S4 and links to download doesn't work. I wouldn't risk trying to do that on S5 it sounds like a BS to me.

Download Links Down
Can you update your download links. The first and last one say file not found.

you can use this sorry about that

Update
the dev changed a few things recently like the patcher and swticher app are now in one
the only app you need is the patcher
the download links have been changed on my site
the Patcher app will not make the dualboot file if it is on your sd card you would have to transfer to the device first
few aosp roms work with the app but you can still do it manually
Workin on it
im also working on making a video showing that this works but im procrastinating lol sorry

Hey guys, I'm the author of the Galaxy S4 DualBootPatcher app.
I just want to point out that this is currently working purely by chance. ROMs with updater-scripts that refer to the named partitions (eg. "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot") are safe to try, but any ROM that uses the partition numbers directly (eg. "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmcblk0p16") have a chance of bricking the phone irrecoverably because the partition table does not match the Galaxy S4's.
In the next version of the patcher, I will be adding support for the S5 and the Note 3. Until then, I do not recommend dual booting
