Guest Jimmy di Griz Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Great work Paul! I just can't wait to use market enabler and app2sd:). Could you tell what languages that rooted ROM contains? I'm interested in Polish/Polski version. English version is fine but I'd prefer to stay with my native language interface and dictionaries. Again, thank you for your great efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest twistywizard Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 OK, A2SD works. Apps are installed in /system/sd, but with root I can see everything via adb... Good. But anyway, why does Settings->SDCARD bla say the internal memory gets lower? Hmm... :huh: To check if it is working do the below http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Operating-Sy...2AA552D883F9018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Either use gparted Live CD or the easiest way is put the sd in the phone and boot into recovery mode and there is an option there to create the SD card.

Guest NewDesireUser Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Great ! Well done Paul. I am new to Android. A few (basic?) questions to the other experts on the forum (imagine Paul is still busy with his Desire :huh: ): - If I root the phone do I get problems with download of future automatic updates from HTC ? - If I root the phone do I get the standard HTC ROM (understood this is the case) without any limitations wrt standard ROM (still access market, etc) ? Thanks a lot for your help ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest twistywizard Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) Please could you explain me how to install app2sd. I created ext3 filesystem, and then go to recovery menu, and than what? What to choose next? If you go to the first page of this thread second post download the program in ZIP format. Now put this on an SD card as you did with rootupdate. Now follow the steps to get into recovery mode and flash not the rootupdate but the app2sd program. Thats it. If you have made the card correctly it should be up and running. Edited April 28, 2010 by twistywizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RexMundo Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hi Just joined. Thanks for everything so far! I thought I'd add my two pence. I just rooted mine. a) If struggling with creating Live disks.. get "unetbootin" . (google it). Its a great little app that can create a live USB for many distributions automatically. (just make sure your PC can boot from Linux). :huh: You dont need a big linux live distro @ 100's of MB. "Parted Magic" or Slitaz will do fine and they are small. (great at also resetting your passwords but thats another story!) c) Live distros like Parted Magic usually log you on as root. You just need to open and terminal, navigate to unzipped folder and run the command (dont forget "./" at the beginning if you havent edited your path). You shouldnt need drivers etc. The script does it all. d) Latest HTC drivers support 64 bit windows 7. I followed a goldcardguide from ulockr and it really confused the hell out of me with the drivers. No need to follow some round about way. Get latest HTC Sync (.33 I think) and it'll be fine. Great work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest twistywizard Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 another thing guys, is superuser permissions supposed to be just a blank screen? Bill I believe it is mate! It is only called upon when an App asks for root permissions or permissions of somesort. It will chuck up a prompt. As an example go to the Market place and download t.i backup. When you run it, it will say do you want to give this program permission. Say yes. Now go back to the Permissions icon and click you will see the program entry there. However the App will NOT work. As per Pauls description on the first page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest maati Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) Did you solve the device not found issue. I am getting it too... No. I'm always getting "device not found". EDIT: Crazy... just when I posted this, it actually worked under openSUSE. Had to unplug and replug the device several times and suddenly it worked.

Guest mrshark Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) i'll repeat, hoping in a response... 1) can we use a spare sd as goldcard, and after rooting, changing it with a more capable one, or goldcard MUST remain in slot for root to continue to work? 2) after rooting, can we (and how?) restore settings backupped in some way (again, how?)... 3) what languages are included in rooted rom? How to eventually add new ones, especially dictionaries? and add: 4) we need to refuse any future On The Air update proposed by htc, right? 5) how much space assign to sd partition dedicated to be the app2sd repository? 6) is swap partition needed? 7) all of these are primary partitions, right? in which order must we create them? 8) swap 64mb, app2sd ext2 1gb, remaining fat32, right?
