ROM's, Tools, or ROM's AND Tools, Should I?

Hey guys, I was curious about something. I'm not sure if many people use my ROMs, so I wanted to find out who does. Who thinks I should ONLY focus on things like kitchens and porting tools and stuff, etc.
Should I work on a second set of ROM's, instead of a Just2Clean, a JustStuffed or something. Something with lots of features and programs, setup the way I would set it up.
Or work on Just2Clean simply so that I can use it on my kitchens?

Judging from the past quality of your roms, i highly condone and encourage you to create a "JustStuffed" rom. The only person any rom is perfect for is it's creator, and people should realize that.
Keep working on Just2Clean and the new kitchen, though. By the way, is there a way to use Just2Clean with EBO? I can't figure out how to decompile it.

Your ROM's are great, but...I...I just got used to the feeling I'm running my own ROM. As fzzyrn said, a ROM is always best for its creator. Now I'm running a ROM created in your first kitchan and it is fine. Thanks for all your work whatewer you do

I've voted for these two.
Work on both ROMs and Tools? They all ROCK! I'm using your ROM right now and it's fast and stable!
If you made the JustStuffed, I'd use it. I like the stability and speed, but it's too stripped.
But do what you love to do and don't follow other people's suggestions.
Do what you want to do. That's the only thing i can say.

I'll have to remember to upload the raw kitchen files tonight. I haven't test it with every package, though, so you will probably have to solve a lot of multiple file errors.
Everyone else, thanks for the comments. Ok, I will release a Just2Stuffed!

Just tools. Start with a multiple scheduler calendar!

i am a very satisfied user of your superclean rom. thanks for you great work!

The ROM looks great, I just can't get any help with formatting the micro SD card and being able to run it...
But keep doing both!

b. mann, when you format the SD card are you formatting it to FAT32 and not just FAT?
Do a full format, *not* quick.
Then copy the "HERAIMG.nbh" file to the blank SD card. Follow instructions on first post
I did this with a 1gig SD, no partitions and had no trouble. Try it and see if that helps.

ivanmmj, Just2Clean was the first ROM I've used of yours. Works great. Like being able to customize my phone just how I want it.
Might just have to play in the kitchen just because. It's like you just gave me the best recipe book in the world!
Do what you want; because it's quality!

One of these days when I have the time to flash and customize your rom will be on my phone lol, ive heard many good things and I really want a clean rom so I can make it more personal just need more time man lol!!!

Mine is a 4gig, but i think i messed one up when I formated and partitioned, now it only recognizes one of my partitions...
But I did follow those instructions to a T

I had problems with my 4 gig going straight to the bootloader.
I didn't want to mess with the partitioning, so I used a 1 gig I had lying around. Sorry, can't help with that issue.
Did you try to fill up the SD with a dummy file until there is less that 1 gig free?

No, when I put into bootloader, no matter how I have it partitoned, it won't recognize my card....
Guess I'll get a 1 gig, they're 9 bucks on ecost

Sorry, I'm out of ideas, I guess that's what happens when you take the easy route.

i think i should mention that you can flash from SD even if there are other files on the card- it doesn't have to be empty except for heraimg.nbh

Way to backup applications to sd card easy way

I just did this as a reply to another topic. An easy way to backup and run applications from your SD CARD is to go to the Android Market and download App Manager. It is free and what it does is backup all the applications that you have on your phone to your SD Card and also it allows the option to run all the applications directly from the SD Card. I just did it and it worked. Try it out and comment on how it works.

This works without creating an ext2 partition? Have you actually deleted the app from your on-board memory, leaving only the copy found on your SD card?
I'm skeptical to say the least.

It doesnt let you run apps from the SD Card, It will let you back up and install apps from the Card.

And you are right to be. It doesn't do that, it merely creates a backup on the SD card. The author never claimed that it would do any other thing.

Astro does this. Just open it up, hit menu, then app manager.

Search for AppManager.
edit: shouldn't this be in the Applications Forum?

Oh, my bad. I meant the author of AppManager.

I wasn't too clear
In response to the replies, yes I was a bit wrong. However this does help in certain occasions such as if one downloads an application and wants to back it up and/or share it with another person. In my case, I wanted to find a way to be able to share MP4 Youtube downloader with my friends as it had been removed from the market. But I am thankful for all the criticism as it is better to right than partiallly right. Sorry for misleading anyone.

[HOW TO] format sd card with paragon partiton manager

So I decided to make this small guide, on how to partitioning your sd card with paragon partition manager… There is many different ways, including a script an xda forum member created, and ubuntu as well.. But I assume paragon partition manager might be the best for all people who don’t know how to use Linux very much..
i wrote it on my blog, if is considered spam than illtry to put the images content directly in the post
http://nitropr.us/web/2009/05/08/format-sd-card-with-paragon-partition-manager/
hope it helps some one.. i know i know there is MANY ways for this.. but well sicne paragon question keep popping up and did not see a small how to with images for new users so hope it helps least 1 person

Thanks! That will be useful for many... this should be sticky along with the sapphire/magic port (after someone starts a new thread for the newer builds. 600 pages!) Or at least a wrap stick (a thread that contains many highly used threads like in the developement and hacking section under the main thread) would be useful.

i think this is the easiest way. I did this to my card and took only a few min. def the way to go.

its a good guide, but i have a question everytime i try to format this way in paragon it says cannot create partition because all primary slots are taken, it says this when i try to resize or create new. any ideas?

Ok I resized my card using paragon my fat32 is 5gb and my EXT2 is 1.5gb. I went and tried to follow these instructions http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Haykuro_Apps_to_SD and for some reason I am not seeing the system/xbin/busybox folder.

A few things here:
1. Unless you're planning on downloading every app ever made, you're never going to need a ext2 partition larger than 500mb, and even that is a LOT. I tried to fill my partition and managed to squeeze over 300 apps on there before I ran out of room...then I had to painfully uninstall them all cause I didnt feel like reformatting/reflashing/restoring.
2. Make sure you're using the right version of apps-to-sd. Haykuro's latest builds can be found here. The apps-to-sd versions are linked at the very top of the page.
3. The directories you're looking for are NOT on the sd card. They are only visible on the phone through adb. If you're not familiar with adb, do a quick forum search on how to set it up.

[Q] Can anyone help? SD card (internal)

So I updated to the leaked Samsung 2.2 Froyo. I am trying to move apps to the sd card and I am getting an error. "Failed to move application. Not enough memory".
I have seen demos/reviews with this function working. I am also making sure I try it with apps that are compatible with the feature.
Anyone have a clue as to whats going on here.
Other than that, I love being a new Android user, ported over from the apple world. Captivate made my 3g look foolish.
Thanks in advance for any help guys.

When installing a program it will pop up, this is Apps2SD, do you want to move. Or you can see it in manage applications, select application > Move to SD is highlighted
You have to be careful with it because that silly media scanner will run and disable you sd functions. Example. You have a program that starts up when your phone starts you will get a FC because the media scanner is running.
Good to have you by the way.

I'm getting the same message, but it was working before.
I flashed a ROM and enabled lag fix. However, when I went back to stock, I forgot to disable the lag fix.
I'm back to the leaked 2.2, but I still can't move apps to the SD card. There is plenty of memory free.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks!

Have you tried doing a master reset to remove the the lag fix or gotten the app from the market app2sd?

I tried a master clear using Odin, but I haven't tried a master reset. How is that done?

Ok I know a dumb question but do you have enough rom on your SD card? Try the apps2sd app from the market

No worries, I know you have to ask.
My SD card has 12.83GB free.
I did try using the apps2sd, but I get the same message, that there isn't enough memory.

I would say that there is an issue with the leaked rom. I would try a custom rom and see if it happens, if it is still an issue I would copy the stuff off your card and reformat it to see if that is an issue

I actually got the message the first time I tried a custom ROM. When I went back to 2.2 the problem went away, but I hadn't tried the lag fix.
When I tried another customer ROM today, I got the message again, but this time a tried the lag fix.
I forgot to disable it when I went back to stock, then to 2.2.
I did reformat the internal SD card, didn't help. That's why I turned to the forums. I'm all out of ideas.

OMG I am stupid lol. The apps to SD is for moving the APPS to an EXTERNAL sd card not the internal sd

LOL, no worries.
I don't want to waste my time, but would it be worth a try to:
1. Flash back to stock.
2. Install Clockwork recovery
3. Install customer ROM again.
4. Enable lag fix.
5. Disable lag fix.
6. Flash back to stock.
7. Master clear
8. Install 2.2 again?

Only if you have enough room on your external sd (micro sd plugged into the phone)

I don't currently have one installed.
It must be a file system issue. Is there anyway to rebuild the stock file system? Or is that supposed to happen when I flash back to stock?
By the way, thanks for your help on this.

No prob, but here is the deal. This only works for external SD card in 2.2 2.1 didnt have this option at all. So unless you insert an external SD card it is not gonna work.

OK, now I'm the stupid one. I didn't even think of putting my SD card back in! I always take it out when I flash back to stock because the media scanner takes so long.
Anyway, I put it back in, now I can move to SD.
So, my next question is, where does it put it on that SD card? I looked, and I don't see anything other than my music.

To tell the truth I dont remember really, I have not needed to move anything to my external sd in a long time, what are you using to look at your SD card?

Root explorer. It's not really that important, it's mostly just curiosity.

[Q] Accidental Wipe Recovery

Accidentally wiped my sdcard after wiping my entire system while installing Virtuous 1.29
Is the only way to push a new zip with the ADB terminal?
I installed the HTC Sync drivers, do i need to install the Google ones as well?
Don't have a lot of time on a computer so links would be helpful, or else i would try and search.

I don't understand why you can't put a zip on your sd card.
Maybe I'm not completely understanding your predicament. Are you saying you don't have a functional phone due to something going wrong with the unity flash?

Was actually going to put my phone down and get on da puter to post links and help you out....ran outta time though, sorry man.

Try putting the rom on another sd card or taking the current one out of your phone and transferring the rom to the card via an sd card reader. That would be the easiest way. When wiping you can wipe cache, data/factory restore, dalvik cache in advanced, and you can also format system. Don't try doing anything else because you can end up in trouble like you are now. If you can transfer the files like I described it would be the easiest way for you.

From what I understood, he was going to install the virtuous rom, but he was wiping everything first before install. Unfortunately, he also wiped his sd card and now he only has recovery with no rom or backups to flash and no operating system to go back to.

you can mount your phone with recovery.. or you can use an adapter... or as said above another sd card..

Mudknot is correct. I have mounted through recovery before but it was a long time ago. Maybe he or someone else could walk you through it. It was not hard to do.

mount USB storage
