Hey there all I just need some help I have some sounds that are from the hero and magic official roms that I have collected from these forums. instead of running off SDcard I want them on the phones memory since I have a MT3g I have plenty of mem and don't run BIG apps.
What I have been doing is running ADB and pushing files from my hard drive to the phones memory in /system/media/audio/ directory. I have to do this every time I re flash a rom. I would like to make this easy by flashing it from zip or in an APK if possible... Do you guys think this would be possible?
First of all, wrong forum. Please post questions like this in the General forum.
Secondly, you can create a folder on your SD card called 'media' and store your files there in the same structure as you'd put them on your ROM system area.
It'll still find them there.
OOps sorry I will post over there. I thought since it had to do with flashing or building an APK it would be fine here.
I have run if from my Class 6 SD like that but I still get a delay for notifications. So as I said I dont want to run from SD.
But thanks..

Hi, i looked in other forums but couldn't find the answer to this. If I got a new SD card, what is the process to change cards?
I formatted the new one and copied all the stuff from the old one to the new one. Booted, blank screen/wouldn't boot.
Do I need to format, Download a ROM to it, flash it, then boot or what?
Thanks in advance.
I think you would have to partition it and then put whatever rom and reflash everything
A blank screen..? The hell, that's weird. From my knowledge, it should still work with a bunch of FC's and Errors. And no you don't have to reflash everything like KingSkeme recommended, but you may have to since your device is acting a bit weird.
But yeah, first of all you need to format it. Second, you need to search this yourself. I find it bullcrap that people like you can't find this info yourself.
Here, I spent about 2 minutes of my life for you.

If you can't follow those steps, then you shouldn't have rooted your phone.
P.s depending on which Rom you use, I believe CM automatically does the ext/swaps for your SD card.
If not, oh I found more information with my friend google

How to switch to a different SD card
EDIT: Sorry, double post.
I hope im posting this in the right place. I am VERY VERY new to rooting. I have read and heard alot about it but after reading the thread at xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581869 I decided to go ahead and root my phone. The primary motivation for rooting is the ability to run applications from the SD card because my Hero runs really slow. I flashed the ROM and created a backup but after trying many ways to download apps to SD, the last one read said I have to partition my memory card. The catch is, the thread didnt tell me that it would delete everthing on the card when i partitioned the memory card, following the thread i factory reset my phone. Doing this deleted all my save data and backups and now im worse off than i was before. After briefly describing my situation im hopeing that someone out there can help me.
QUESTIONS
1. Are there any ROM's that you can flash on cellsouth HERO that will work
2. How do I install apps to my SD card
3. Is there a guide on "how to" customize the HERO head to toe.
1. This is the only rom i have seen for Cell South http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731404
2. That rom should have apps2sd built in, so as long as you partition your sd card correctly, it will automatically do it for you.
3. Check the themes forum for more info.

Flashed the ROM? What do you mean by that? what ROM?
Sorry your in the wrong section..this is a QUESTION..there is a Q&A sub forum for these. i know your new but you had to see that when you were going through th forums to get here.
I am currently on the newest nightly for the Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 go to that thread download the newest nightly then go to the brainfukt kernel thread and download the latest stable kernel he has. click this link as you will need the google apps http://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/gapps-mdpi-20100816-signed.zip . Go to recovery flash the rom then the kernel then the google apps then reboot.
assuming you partitioned your sd card properly you will have the ability to use apps2sd
in order to use it you will need to go to ur settings and open CyanogenMod settings and choose applications. In there you will need to tick the box marked move apps and then choose external on the drop down menu. once you do that then you will be able to install all your apps straight to your sd card and any that installed automatically once you synced your account you can go in to the main settings application setting and physically move those to sd card by choosing the app and it will give you an option for that. If you need any help or advise during that process feel free to shoot me an email or pm
I have something all out of whack here .... I have been flashing different ROMs ... gone all the way back to stock ee4 and moved forward. I can install rooted roms and I have root. I can open Titanium and freeze appz and such. My tethering app gets granted su permissions with su popping up asking to allow and so forth. But when I go into CWM recovery, none of the zips on my sd card show up!! I put the sd card into a reader on my desktop and verify the files are on the root of the sd card but I can't see them in recovery !!
Any help greatly appreciated. I'm willing to do whatever I have to do to the phone !!
Thanx In Advance for Any Help
Steve
EDIT: All of this because I couldn't get the browser to work on Danalo's All In One while on WIFI home network. Browser works on 3g but not WIFI ... network is good, wife's moto droid works fine on wifi ...
I'd like to go back to Imnuts' Infinity ROM but I can't see the zip !!!
I can put the zips in a folder on the sd card I created and I can see them in recovery. Just can't see them on the root level of the card ...
Have you tried different programs to actual zip the file, is it getting named file.zip.zip? Sometimes you just name a file depending on the program and it adds .zip to it so it would be file.zip.zip.
I see what you are saying didnt work for me hang on I have 2 ideas. Rename it as an update.zip file and make sure its not update.zip.zip or use root explorer to move the file into a folder that you see in root level such as data. Ok worked for me I moved the file with root explorer to android/data on the sdcard reboot into recovery and see it. Maybe Im not understanding what you are trying to do.

I've never had an issue before seeing zip files at the root level. I mistakenly mounted system during all of the flashing I've done. Had trouble with other versions of un-mounting system but in the end got that back to original. But I don't see the (properly named) zip files at the root level on the phone. Yes, I can see them when moved into another folder but the ones that are there at root level of the sd card are not seen.
I was under the impression that to install a ROM like Imnuts' Infinity, it had to be executed from the root level of sd card and not from within a folder?
My guess is you have so many folders in your sdcard that you can't see it. Try scrolling alllll the way down. I think you'll see it.
The same thing happened to me. I thought I was losing my mind

OOPS !!! You nailed it and don't I just feel like a dumb di** !
It was driving me nutz last night !! Reckon it's time to clean up the old sd card
That's one of the reasons why I put the CWM ZIP files into a folder where all of them reside. I called it "ROMs", you may name it differently than I do. Say "CWMStuff" so that it hopefully will stay near the top of the file list.
I actually have a folder already there 'charge_zips' .... appreciate the thought that put me onto it ... sometimes you do so much you miss the obvious, right?
hahahaha.....amazing, was driving me crazy as well!!! the zip was right at the bottom!
I screwed up bad last night when i was half asleep using fix permissions in recovery, and hit format sd card. by the time i realized what i was doing it was too late, i need to recover my files as close to exactly as they were as i can, i used unformatter pro, but it didnt get all the files, and the ones it did recover where grouped in folders named after the extension, and the names were just ordered numbers. im dying here because all my titanium backups, nandroids, and the treasure among treasures, chad goodmans rls 9 evo 3d kernel (those of you who dont know about his kernels, they are the best, truly works of art, and it is no longer available due to soure code discrepancies) I am dying here, any help would be a godsend.

Moving to Q&A
so your gonna have to reboot a few times it will build the necessary system files.If your were partioned you'll have to repartition and reflash your rom The good news is i have that kernel so here ya go. There's a bunch in the file but you should see what you need. after you get everything running again put an e3d folder on your desktop and copy all the files from your sd to it so there's no more chance of losing it. follow the link.....http://db.tt/3gKd6uRo

Hello XDA:
Earlier today I successfully flashed my nook color to CM7.2 using TWRP 2.3.0.2 as described in this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030227.
After that I successfully flashed TWRP 2.8.3.0.
Right now I am trying to flash CM11 with the corresponding g.apps, but the files are not visible in recovery. What can I do? This is my first time rooting/loading roms so any help I can get is much appreciated.
Hi there,
Try to put that files (zips of CM and GApps) on the external SD Card and try again. maybe is something wrong with that recovery and didn't recognize your internal memory.
Also give us more details about your device for better pointing to the right forum.
Thanks
Hi thanks for the reply. I was actually trying to load the files from an external SD the entire time.
I managed the fix the problem luckily. I had an extra SD card on hand so I re-downloaded the files and tried flashing them to the device from the other card. It worked.
Is this a good way to do things in the future? That way I can keep my files intact on the main SD card and use a seperate SD card to flash new ROMs etc. Though I dont know if the file systems on the main SD card will be interchangeable between ROMs.
The device is a Nook Color (encore). I used the link that I posted in the OP to load CM7 and then CM11. The Nook Color community seems rather dead, so I posted here.
Glad to hear that you have done it.
Take care with SD Card no name. You can loose important files like photos or other docs if something goes wrong.
Good luck
