mSD not recognised by Outlook + Extended ROM

Hi,
I installed the LVSW (Pro Style) 15/3/07.
I synchronized it with exchange, and when going through the options to shove all the attachments onto the microSD card.
Although it [options] only displays that there's only 2.76mb free - IT'S 1GB card with over 700MB free. Could this have something to do with Extended Rom being available? [I installed the 3DES.1 ROM before and unlocked Extended Rom].
Question 2:
Now that Extended Rom is open - I want to delete some of the things on there, that I will never use - like Operator specific programs. Although I don't have permissions ?!

1. - This can be changed by changing the Ext ROM directory in the Registry to say Storage Card 2... as the inbox application searches for the first available Storage it doesnt give you an option...
2. use HTweakC application to unhide and allow write access to the ext_rom... but you must have either installed Olipro's patched driver or SuperCID'ed your device to have write permissions...

great - thank you.
for now - i've disabled the 'extended', and it's all back to normal - although I'll look into deleting some files off there this weekend.
thanks

Your instructions say:
1. - This can be changed by changing the Ext ROM directory in the Registry to say Storage Card 2... as the inbox application searches for the first available Storage it doesnt give you an option...
I'm using Total Commander to attempt to edit this value in the registry, but can't locate it. Tried searching for "Ext ROM" and "ExtROM". Where in the registry can the Ext ROM directory name be changed to Storage Card 2?
Thanks much!

Blue Angel Programs Installed, Wont Get Removed !!!

Hi Guys
I have been having problem with my XDA IIs known as BlueAngel= DarkAngel for me lol, the problem is that When I try to remove the programs through Remove Program short cut in settings First its asking me if I wanted to remove the selected program and when I click an error massage apears and says ( ... program was not completely removed. do you want to remove it from list of installed programs? ) and when click on yes, the same program which I was trying to remove, still apears to be in the list of programs installed in the storage memory.
I have tried MaUpgradeUt_noID_more_ruu[1].dll
by entering the USB mode and running the program but after complition I check the installed programs and all programs are still there.
Does any one have any I dea to remove the programs pls
Regards.

Been there!
Had a similar problem a while back
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386773&highlight=mechanic+unload
The only solution I found was to wipe the Rom and start again! Sucks, but it seemed to be the only option.
Go get a PIM backup utility - Spb Backup - and save all the PIM data then do a full ROM update (even if it's to the same ROM you have now - you need to fully reinstall)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueAngel_WM5_For_Beginners
Still, look on the bright side - it's a chance to clean away all the clutter, and update to the latest ROM ;-)
I would advise getting a piece of cloning software (Spb Clone) and using it reguarly as you are reinstalling! Then, if this happens again, you can just clone back to the last version that worked!

[Q]Some curiosity about my desire

Hello ppl,
I am a little curious about my desire and have some really silly questions...I would be really thankful if you answer some questions for me
1) My desire doesn't boot if memory card is changed or not inserted...Is it because my dalvik cache is on sd??I have a custom rom named
.AuraxTSense v7.6.1
Sense-FroYo 2.2 Official OTA
( FRF91 Fast l SYSRW l 720p| Stable | AP2SD+ | MULTILANGUAGE | Undervolt )
2) Can I connect my phone to my desktop via wifi??If yes,can I use it to share files??
3) What is Open Vpn??
4) While inserting a recipient for sending sms,if I select the "people icon" on top,then even e-mail addresses show up eventhough I have un-ticked google accounts in the settings where it is asked that "what all contacts to be displayed" I have only ticked phone contacts..
5) What is difference between AmonRa and Clockwork Recovery mod?? I have clockwork recovery mod installed by default in my phone...Which one is better of the two??
6) Is there anyway to backup and restore apps so that I don't have to install all the apps again after I install a new custom ROM???

sorry for double post but can anyone please do the favour of answering these simple questions??

1. you've installed all apps and cache on the SD card, so removing the SD card is stupid. Why should you? You can connect it via USB.
2. Yes. Yes, use the search to find results.
3. Don't know if you mean the same thing, it's a Windows, Linux program, Google is your friend.
4. Maybe because your contacts contain the mail addresses, too.
5. Both are good. When I took a look at AmonRa and compared it to ClockworkMod I just noticed that AmonRa has a few more features, like creating a partition and having a command prompt, however, it seemed outdated to me. i don't know the differences exactly, if you want to know it better, just use the search.
6. Yes, use the fu**ing search. Titanium Backup and MyBackup.

you have got almost all the answers in the above post but still
3)VPN- virtual private network,,,, i cant explain about it now ,,,google it
4)Yes it is the common issue ,,but it is solved in New sense ROM which is ported form htc desire HD,
in old sense roms if you still want the solution delete all the contact under google account i.e All e-mail ids. be care full dont delete your phone and sim contacts during the process
5) Both do almost same work but i chose clock recovery since it is supported by ROM manager
6)Use Mybackup-pro or titanium backup

thnx a lot for the answers people,it really helped me!!

Some Q's about Desire Setup & others

Hi Mates,
I have owned my Desire for 2 weeks and it is the first Android device i have had. I have done a lot of searching the www and XDA for answers to the following questions but not come across anything yet. Please could some of you help me out with answers to the following questions:
1) APN & MMS settings - Is there no automatic method of having these settings detected from the SIM card and operator? I find it hard to believe that with Android we have to manually do the settings!
2) I have saved on my SD card Root the file PB99IMG.zip but to prevent it from being read everytime i try to go in to Bootloader mode, i changed the name to PPB99IMG.zip so now it is ignored by the Bootloader. My question is, if i wanted to restore this ROM file can it be done without renaming it to the standard protocol (PB99IMG.zip) can i use the Recovery menu to restore .zip? If so does it give the exact same result that it would if run from Bootloader?
3) I have Titanium Back up Pro version installed. it allows almost any of the installed applications to be moved to the SD card. Are there any that should NOT be moved to SD card, such as Titanium itself, RomManager, Call blockers or Profile applications etc etc?
4) I have formatted my 16GB SD in to one Fat32 primary partion of 14GB and created another Primary partion ext4 of 2GB. I'm using a standard official ROM 2.29.405.5 which has been Rooted using UnRevoke 3.22 which I think installed CWM Recovery. So my question is does the standard ROM make use of the Ext4 partion or only Custom ROMS and is this the best / correct Ext to have used?
5) Apart from the first Boot loop that i got after my very first NAND back up using CWM (just needed to restore the back up that it made to recover it) I have not had any issues. But it could not format and partion my SD I had to do that manually using GParted with puppy Lynix. Also i do not have S-Off either. Should unrevoke 3.22 give me S-Off or is that another process such as AlphRev? Is there a process that only give S-Off without changing the Recovery mode?
6) I can not seem to send e-mail from Hotmail using the built in Sense mail application. anyone have a solution for that and also how to get all the mails from various accounts delivered to a single Inbox? I have 1 x Hotmail and 2 x Gmail accounts and whilst they are all selectable from the account picker they are not combined in the Inbox. I'm currently using TouchDown 2.0 for a fully syncronised Hotmail account due to the built in mail client not being syncronised with the Web accounts. Anyone give any advise about a better set up using Sense functions?
I think thats about it for now. Thanx for anyone who can answer any of the above, I love this phone and it is gona lead to trouble with me and the wife!
Happy new year to you all!!

1. Use APN Backup and Restore App. Desire Stock Rom for the region does automatically have APNs. But I've not seen them autodetect on rooted Roms.
2. You cant use rooted recovery to flash it. File name has to be same. Why should you have to keep it on the card. Keep it on a CD/Hard drive. Copy it to goldcard only when needed. When you need it, use the card on a PC to rename it. Also you can run the RUU as exe file from Windows
3. Widgets shouldnt be moved. System apps shouldnt.
4. Froyo Rom (Stock rooted) cant use it. Use a custom A2SD+ rom /Data2ext rom. Ext2 has maximum compatibilty. ext4 is the best but with limited support. ext3 is slower than both.
5. Alpharev gives S-Off. Unrevoked for desire doesnt. Rooting automatically puts the recovery on it. You need it for most basic purposes, including the process of S-Off
6. No idea.

Thanx for your fast reply DroidZone!!
I'm assuming that "APN Backup and Restore App" only works if you already have the APN and MMS settings installed?
Regarding the APN and MMS settings....so do you know which file the Regional settings are saved in? And would it be possibly in theory to collect this info from all the Regional ROMS and compile a single file that would allow Auto set up for any Region or country being visited?
My old Windows phone used to be the same with manual settings being required but in later WM6.5.5 relaeses this was all done automatically no mater i was in Nigeria, UK or China. It would be nice to have that flexability for Android.

True you already need the settings. But some custom Roms (I forgot which one. Check Leedroid's page on XDA) have a huge list of APNs which come built in. But the better solution is to ask your service provider for the APN settings intially and then backup with this app.It's not one file, so it cant just be copied and imported. This app is the best solution. As you learn about roms, you will learn how to incorporate this app into your rom so that it will autosinstall.

By the way how to send mms? I did not see mms option when creating messages from the sms app.

[Q] copy/backup apps/widget positions, manual screen setup possible ?

ARC S, GB 2.3.4.69
1. Its quite timeconsuming to arrange all the apps/widgets on the different screens manually on the phone.
- is there a PC Tool to do it
- can the position be manipulated by e.g. just changing the order in certain files / dirs ?
- how to save / backup the positions of the widgets and apps on several screens to have it after a CWM recovery ?
2. Could I transport the setup to my wifes ARC S ?

yes and I thought only a dev could answer this ...

Yes, and devs also read Q&A.
This section is to publish development of ROM/Kernel software only.

moved as requested ... answers would be very welcome now

The easyest way to do this is titanium backup backup all apps with data and also Xperia launcher data and app.
Move backed up files to other device install titanium and restore the apps and launcher with data. Thia should work. I have done it many times.
Some times the launcher will miss one or two apps witch will not show icons but a blank place holder (hard to find) in both the app screen and on the interface itself
