APP2SD - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

how to make it work on android 2.1? I already had this on 2.2 a there worked without problems. Now i flashed to 2.1 and even if there was app2sd it doesnt work. i dont want to reflash my Hero back to 2.2 'cause think its too slow....

u have to root it!

Mmm, i think (correct me if I'm wrong) that the option to move programs to the SD is only available in android 2.2 (froyo). app2sd does not really move the application, it just scans which applications can be moved (not all can be moved, even in froyo 2.2) and open the view of the application of the system, through which you can move the application.
So my guess is that in android 2.1 you can't move applications to the SD card
hope it helps!

Stock Android, you are correct. However, many of the 2.1 (Eclair) mods support an alternate form of Apps2SD that was developed before Google released the official method with 2.2 (FroYo).

Froyo Android Market Unlock

Ok, since not everyone is using CM6 on an EVO I thought I'd share this outside that thread.
This should allow the Market to show the missing (protected) apps on Froyo. I've implemented it for the Gapps FRF91 Hdpi pack for now. Any HDPI Devices with deodexed Roms using this should work with this fix. It may work with other HDPI releases, but I've only tested it on FRF91 w/ CM6.
Wipe Market Data/Cache......Settings>>Applications>>Manage Apps>>ALL>>Market
Reboot Recovery
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Flash "MarketUpdateFroyoHdpi.zip"
Reboot
Accept Market Terms
On the off chance this borks your Market, just reflash your rom or the the Gapps pack.
If any other Froyo Markets have this problem, it shouldn't be too hard to implement the same fix.
Mirror: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QIBIFHBM
If it doesn't work with your device/rom please specify both so that it will be easier to diagnose.
Big thanks to kallt_kaffe for leading me in the right direction.
It could be I've done something wrong, but this isn't working for me using Sapphire 0.7.0 (from droid-life) on my Droid (the original ). I've tried 2x (especially after finding where to do the dalvik cache wipe in clockwork) with installing it as an update.zip and just installing it as-is. I've been testing by trying to get comic strips back installed on my phone and app brain keeps telling me that mileage has an update though my phone doesn't agree.
I looks like that is using a different Google Apps version. I'll dl and try to patch it for you.
Here, give this a shot. Should work for all FRF84B Builds.
I don't have a device to test on, but this should do it.
does this work with g1 32b cm6
I'm not sure. I'd guess the g1 is an mdpi device though. If the mdpi market is locked (didn't think it was), I could apply the same fix. Also, is this for cdma or gsm?
Hi.
Great work!!!
I got it working with the MDPI version.
I just copied classes.dex from your fix to cyanogen's gapps-mdpi-FRF91-3.zip and I got Market unlocked.
If it's ok, can you share your secret/patch technique?
Did not appear to work for Acer Liquid Froyo. Still have problems accessing certain apps that I used in 2.1 ( AutoHTN Beta for example), APPBrain sees the app, but can not access it through the market.
Hi there
What about Android 2.1.1?
my phone is Motorola XT720, anything for that?
also, How do you "Flash" the application in recovery mode
any way i can do this using adb?
thanks

[Q] Switch between OS on HD2 / uninstalling froyo 2.2 from hd2

Hi,
I am new to this forum. sorry if i repeat the question but I tried looking all over and I could not find any answer for my question, which is as follows...
1. If I experiment froyo 2.2 on my HTC HD2, how do i swith to and forth between Android (froyo 2.2) OS and Windows Mobile OS. Is it easy to do so?
2. If I don't like froyo running on my HTC HD2 because of technical difficulty, how do I switch back to original HD2 operating system, like I never tried Froyo installation (in other words - how do i completely uninstall froyo from the device)?
Sorry if I repeated the questions, but, again as I said, I could not found it on the forum.
Thanks
It actually just runs from the memory card so basically you just have to restart the phone, let it load windows mobile then delete the android mobile on the sd card. Below is the section for android roms basically just download and unzip to your sd card in an "Android" folder there might be more to it, but there is a thread with instructions too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735
I had the same question and searching for the answer has led me to your post. I understand that the Froyo system files reside on the SD card but I'd imagine some sort of startup file on the phone itself has to be modified to point the boot sequence to the SD card. Is that correct and if so, what file(s) is modified on the phone? More specifically, I'm researching the Froyo install and want to do it without any custom ROMs, just stock, but I'd like to make sure I can remove all traces should I need to send it in for warranty purposes.
abc12121, did you get any more information on this that you could share? Can anybody else explain what, if anything, is modified on the phone to point to the Froyo install on the SD card? Or how the boot process works?
Thanks!
Superram Froyo not loading
I recently installed Superram Froyo from Darkstone on my HD2. It worked absolutely great for a day. Then all of a sudden, it stopped loading. I tried to repeat the process of booting but all it does is shows the green HTC logo and then the screen goes dark...and stay that way. Any advice or help is appreciated since I was begining to really enjoy it.
Regards

[Q] Some questions about Dexter's and Wanted's FroYo ROMs [+Updated]

Guys, I just got my XT720 and I'm going to either flash it for Wanted's froYo or keep stock Eclair + Jit and App2SD. From what I read, wanted's lastest ROM seems the best option for me me once I don't use Wi-Fi, but I got some questions that I din't find in the release topic:
1. Does the native App2SD for FroYo works?
2. Flash Player Works?
3. If the native APP2SD doens't works, can I apply this method :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7909401&postcount=52 on this ROM, or if I do this before flash for 2.2 will it keep JIT em App2SD?
4. How do I check wich stock ROM I'm using? I just got the phone, bought it in USA, but I guess it's the Euro version coz MotoNav has only Euro maps.
I guess is it, thanks in advice.

1. yes
2. yes
3. I know Dexters ROMs will automatically move the user apps to an ext2(3?) partition if it's there. In addition Mioze7Ae patch to 1.3 offers additional configurations as to how this works, I'm not sure about XAVs ROMS in this respect.
I am watching XAVs ROMs & once he fixes the bugs in the 1.3 beta I'll be giving it a try. Kahlpowers also has some nice themed variations, you can check out his builds in his post in the theme section (you'll want to look towards the end of the thread as the themes at the beginning are based on 2.1 eclair).

Thank you very much, so I'll just flash Dexter's or Xav's ROM. I'll read a bit more about Dexter's lastest release, I was going to try Xav's coz people said it's faster than Dexter's and actually the only bugs reported aren't that bad ( at least for me) but Dexter's maybe a better option while Xav's doesn't fix all bugs. Thanks again =)
Guys, I flashed my phone to Dexter's 1.3 ROM, it's working fine, but I have "2" new questions:
1. I want install that Honeycomb Theme from Kahpower http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11986041&postcount=192 how do I install it, same way I did to install Dexter's or gotta flash for stock and redo the whole process?
1.1- I NEED TO create that ext3 partition or is it optional?
1.2- Is this ROM the same as Dexter's 1.3 but with the new theme?
2- What's yours phone avarage temperature? Even with stock ROM I think my XT is a too hot near the camera, it says 41°C Avarage, is it normal?
Thanks in advice!
You download the KPs nandroid file & unzip it then copy the xthoneycomb folder to the /nandroid/openrecovery/ folder on yours sdcard & then just boot into OpenRecovery & nandroid restore just like the installation of Dexters Froyo, no need to flash back to stock & the ext3 patition is optional it will use it if its there but its not necessary. Khalpowers themes throw in a few other tweaks but are generally built off Dexter's Froyo.

Thanks again man, I feel safer now to do it, got this phone there isn't even a day and I'm already flashing it, so I'm a bit scared of doing any mistake and Bricking it..
And a final question, Quadrant and Milestone Overlock show CPU defaut Clock as 550 Mhz, shouldn't it be 720?
Edit:
Just flashed it: OMG this is so beatiful ! The collors match perfectly with XT720's collor (Graffite front/blue rear) ! And the way that the pages/tabs pop in on the screen is so cool ! It's a completly new phone, much better. Now is just install my apps and have fun! =D the only thing that is worrying me is that fact that the phone is very hot, even at 550 Mhz.. dunno if it's the XT720 normal temperature, but I don't think so.
I have the questions regarding the installation of the ROM Dexter,
1. ext3 will need to take before making the change in ROM, or that I can do next?
2. To work App2Sd is necessary to partition the SD?
Thanks for the help
1) you can do that after you flash the Froyo
2) you don't need to if you plan to use Froyo's Apps 2 SD
but you need to if you want to use Link2SD

@ Lezherus
Check here for info about Milestone OC settings (I run 1GHZ @ 60vsel, governed with SetCPU).
@ Tavinsky
It is my understanding that the check for an ext3 partition happens at boot, so you I think you could "add" this feature later & yes you will have to partition your sdcard to take advantage of the apps2ext feature. Note that Froyo native apps2sd which can copy compatible apps to a hidden folder on the FAT32 works without any re-partitioning.
HTH
Thanks guys, I'm about to change the ROM, their responses are very helpful.
Greetings!

I know, that wasn't my point.. I mean, thats like my XT's processor orginal clock is 550Mhz, even at 2.1 stock it was 550 Mhz, but isn't the stock 720Mhz? or there are differents types of XT720? And thats totally weird, but at 550Mhz my phone was a firebar ( 41°C at no use and 45 at common use ), I overclocked it to 1000Mhz and it's normal now lol (38°C).
BTW, someone know how to disable the new voice mail notification on status bar? It's stucked there and I can't remove it.. I've already read all my voice mails, tried everything and it still there =(
It should just automatically disappear. Delete everything from VM?

Yes, I've read all my VMs, deleted them all.. and the notification still there.. I've read a bit and some people with the same problem solved it by calling the carrier, coz that notification come from them.. I will try later on..
Wantedrom 1.3 screen rotate/youtube upload
So I've tried all the variation from Dexter's first 2.2 rom and have stopped with the latest Wanted Rom1.3
Two things I'm not liking...
1: my screen will not rotate if I am using the keyboard for a text message and would like the larger button layout.
2: I no longer have the option of uploading a video from my phone directly to Youtube. Youtube downloads were only done using stock2.1 so maybe I missed that this was missing from the roms I've previously tried as well.
anybody have any thoughts?
Wanted 1.3 - no screen autorotate
No rotate for anything.

Of course, it's "on". I even reflashed this ROM again and wiped all cache and set to factoty settings before it. Problem stays the same - no autorotate.
Tried Wanted ROM 1.2 and Dexter 1.3, everything works there. The problem seems to be in this Wanted ROM version.

Autorotate
The screen will rotate for games and applications that require a landscape view instead of portrait but not for anything where it is an option.
I backtracked a little and set my phone to wantedrom 1.2. I didn't even do a factory reset as everyone is always insisting is necessary. Autorotate fixed, all my applications stayed loaded and functional as before.
Overclocked at 1200 MHz , 80vsel and the phone is screaming fast.
After I typed this, I checked the wanted forum and found his solution to the sensor issue...

Persistant Apps

Hey guys,
i have a wiered problem, since i did my last sbf-flash, apps keep remaining on the fresh system after i do a nandroid-backup.
So this is what i do:
1) sbf a standart 2.1 rom
2) nandroid Dexters 2.2.1
3) i have all apps back in the rom which i had BEFORE the sbf-flash...
How is that even possible?? For my Understanding sbf-flashing means a complete overwriting of all data on the rom...
Also i didn't sign in to my google-account, so that can't be it either...
Anyone got some ideas??
Greets,
**Jürgen**
ext partition on your sdcard?
Jap, but not in use
**edit**
Oh, that seems to be it... everythings back to stock... but why?? I didn't enable a2sd for apps to ext or such...
Sorry, but that was the (!) reason why we wanted so badly Froyo! To be able to do A2SD!
If you have an sd-ext/app folder just rename it to whatever and you should be fine. Or delete it before flashing if this is possible ....
IIRC what was happening here the last year
Milestone XT720 - CM6.3.0 RC3
Nah, i wanted Froyo because of the Jitter. That was a major boost in speed. Apps2SD was never interesting for me, the internal memory was enough for my useage.
Swap-Support wasn't bad, but i figured with V6 and without a2sd or swap, everythings running much more smooth than with.
In Dexter's 2.2.1, app2ext is automatic if you have an extra partition.
Sent from my Milestone XT720 using xda premium
Aah, good to know
Another question, is it possible to flash Hellmonger or CM6 directly over Stock 2.1 or do i need a 2.2.1-Version?
In Other words: Is
1) Stock 2.1 (sbf)
2) Dexter 2.1.1 (nandroid)
3) Hellmonger or CM6 (nandroid)
the right order or is there a better way to do it?
No need to flash to Dexter's ROM, 2.1 to Hellmonger's is fine.
i'm here to learn something.thanks

Adobe Flash for android 2.1 update1

ok been awhile since ive been on but oh well my ? is i know there is a way to install flash on eclair but im not having any luck so i was going to see what u all would say 1st i downloaded the file to my computer btw is windows 7 then i already use astro then i installed a app installer from market then moved it to my sd card it shows up in my sd card and says it installs but doesnt seem to work when i click my apps it doesnt show up but when i go to settings then to manage apps it shows up i also tried to install it as a zip from sd card through recovery btw CWM and apply update but it always says aborted couldnt open update? any help or advice would be greatly appreciated thanks yal b00ty_m4n
One of the main features Android 2.2 (Froyo) introduced was Flash Support.
I don't think Flash can work on Android 2.1 (Eclair).
If you want to have Flash on your Milestone you should consider upgrading it to Android 2.2.1 (Official or CM6) or 2.3.7 (CM7).
Furthermore, you mention using CWM Recovery. This only works correctly on the Droid. NOT in the Milestone. Use an OpenRecovery (FuFu's, Androidiani's) with your Milestone.
(I am guessing you have a Milestone since you posted this Thread in the Milestone Android Development..)
