Guest venturerider Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Go into "adb shell" (as root), and type: ls -l /data If you see this, you're in business: lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 14 Dec 8 00:52 app -> /system/sd/app lrwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 22 Dec 8 00:52 app-private -> /system/sd/app-private That shows that the internal directories are actually pointing to the sd card.

The ADB shell is a command line that you run from a computer, it's not part of the recovery image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modaco 3.0 comes with apps2sd so any apps will transfer automatically, although you have to create the partitions before apps2sd can transfer the apps. Back up anything on your SD card. Boot into the recovery image (home + power). Format your SD card "Format SD: Fat 32". Next option is to create Ext 2 partition "Format32+ext2+swap". Now convert the ex2 to ex3. Your apps should now be saved to ext3 when you switch the phone on (or you might have to reinstall Modaco, not 100% sure). You cannot see this ext3 in windows, you need to download this http://www.diskinternals.com/download/Linux_Reader.exe, when you mount your SD card you will be able to see the ext3 partition and verify that your apps are there. I'm no techy, this is what I did and it works fine. Hope this helps, if anyone spots anything thats incorrect correct me!

Intall the linux ext viewer so you can check to see if the apps have been installed onto the SD card. In linux viewer the apps should be stored in "Linux native Volume 1" Report back after, let me know how it goes.

Reboot your phone, it should be working now, then reboot again into Recovery, format your SD card (backup all data on SD first!), then choose the ext2+fat32+swap partition. Reboot. Now install apps as much as you liked, and everytime you want to move those apps to SD, just reboot your phone! Consider upgrading the ext2 to ext3, there are threads about it on this forum. Cheers!

What RTX101 is refering to is Modaco Custom Rom (Modaco 3.0), which is what you already have. Just do the partitions as I mentioned. Then install Modaco 3.0. Download some apps from the Market, as RTX101 has said, any new apps will be transferred to the SD card when you switch the phone off and back on. Use linux viewer to verify that the apps have been transferred to the SD card. Remember to mount SD card before you run linux viewer. This is not vital but it just shows you how and where the apps will be stored. Edited December 13, 2009 by mestys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sjoerdos92 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 (edited) When is the next update coming approximately? I installed 3.0 and i liked it, still i was missing some stuff like: - wifi through a proxy with login. At my school there is a wifi i can connect to, it's a proxy, but when you start browsing you need to type in your username and pass, but i can't get it working with android. I tried some apps from the market but it didn't work. Is this supported in MCR 3.0? If no, is there an app or other way to make it work? If no again, is it coming soon? - new marketplace and apps that require android 1.6 (like google goggles), how to make this work? Is it coming? I really like this custom OS, it's much faster than the standard version, i like it. Thanks anyway, New user, Sjoerd Edited December 13, 2009 by sjoerdos92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest troywhite Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hi guys, A mate just updated his Hero to the latest rom and now his keyboard doesn't work. Prior to updating, he had chinese keyboard options (he doesn't need these here in australia). Do you think it may have something to do with that? Any suggestions? How to fix? He didn't wipe before upgrading so that will be an option but he was hoping to avoid it.

Guest ChinaRon Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Flashed 2.8 MCR w/ Chinese. Have some contacts with Chinese names (unicode characters like 霞). People widget will not display the name and the search in People will not find the names.　My native language is English, so I do not want to change the locale to China, but I did try Custom Locale to choose cn-EN, but no change. EDIT: User Error, please ignore. Works fine if I do not fat-finger the character I want to search for.

I really like this custom OS, it's much faster than the standard version, i like it. Thanks anyway, New user, Sjoerd neither of these is a rom issue. your wifi thing will probably not work, though there is an app called "t-mobile hotspot login". it is used to achieve the same thing for a t-mobile wlan, maybe you can edit the settings to fit your school's network. about coming soon: nothing has been anounced yet, on the other side this is not a thing the whole world is waiting for, so there won't be a big announcement. for the new marketplace and apps (which work only on 1.6 as you said you need a 1.6 rom, obviously. something that is not gonna happen for the hero, as we are skipping 1.6 and get 2.0 in the near future. thanks but the problem am having, is that my internal memory keeps shrinking, even though the apps appear, to be going onto my sd card, because when i look in that linux reader, i can see my apps on there. this behaviour is normal. search for "apps2sd working" and you will find the explanation.

Guest _Mazza_ Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hi guys, If I'm on the rooted t-mobile 2.73.110.26 rom found here http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero...ate-zip-format/ and I have the recovery image installed, and done a nandroid backup and wiped the device. Is it possible for me to update to the modaco rom without taking any further steps? or do I need to use the goldcard method? Thanks for any help.
