But it cant apply to us since we CANT UNMOUNT SD CARD since Android is on it.
So what are you guys doing to make it work?
you still can un mount your card with android running.

Or use the new Hastarin kernel 8.2
When Android boots up, it puts Android into the RAM rather than run off the flash card. Unmount the SD card after boot, install the app, then re-mount it. Then all is fine!

USB Mass Storage mode CANNOT work - the phone runs Android off of the SD, hence the SD needs to be mounted for Android to work. Just in WinMo when the SD is unmounted from WinMo when you plug it in, the exact same thing would happen in Android - and then Android wouldn't be able to function... make sense?
You can use ADB with USB, but that is it. It's useful for debugging...

Arrghhhh is a standup guy and was very nice to answer most of my questions in the TP2 section. I didn't know the rules don't apply to the HD2 as well.
Anyuhow, Thank you guys. Worked like a Charm
just install kernel 8.2 ( put sd card in pc , copy zimage and folder called root in to your android folder )
Thanks everyone

So I transfers the android folder to it used it n all was good then I wanted to back up all of my winmo files so i remove the SD card from my phone n place it in my card reader..n said to reformat the card..I HAVE NO ACCESS TO MY SD CARD.. I can't even format it some how it got protected...even my phone days to formatted but is never successful...ANY ADVISE THANK YOU

ive got a sd problem too. i ever used the same 16gb class2 microsd card tu run android builds and store winmo and android data. last night ive tried to switch from darkstone to matcc android build. i reformatted the sd card, put the files on it (only android folder nothing else) and started android. everything was fine but i´ve got a bsod(radio 2.12.50_2 and german stock vodafone rom). then ive tried another android build but i got the same error(doesnt ever got bsod before). later android didn start at all(every build). then ive tried chuckys rom with matcc vers. 1.5 and ive got the bsod problem again. tried 2 other builds and now andriod doesnt start and i cant even connect my hd2 to my pc(bootloader doesnt connect too) but chucky rom boots correctly. everytime ive tried another build i reformatted my sd card to fat32. hope someone can help me, sorry for bad english.
i got this problem now too. android somehow writeprotected my sd card so i can't put files on or take files off anymore...it's basicallly made my 16gb card useless. can't format or anything. tried through windows mobile, pc, and android...nothing works. anybody know how to fix it?
Same thing happened to me. My class 2 16gb card is now locked and ive found no way to unlock it.
Not that I really liked that card anyway, but it was nice to have so much storage space.
thats no problem. On your adapter for your micro sd card, there is a lock on the side of it. Make sure that it is in the up position. Basically in the unlock position, then it wont be write protected.
No, your not understanding. Its not the physical lock on the adaptor, its a logical lock on the Micro SD itself.
The Micro SD card comes up as locked no matter what I use to try and format, or delete etc.
I've googled like mad trying to find a way to fix it even installing Ubuntu to see if another OS could do it, but everything fails.
Same here I came to a conclusion. That there are some files in the SD card....what was the last buid u were using before this happened...the best solution. For this should be with an android. Phone and astro file management explore the SD card...unlucky. me none of my friends have an android device

lemme try that...i formatted it through my computer and unchecked "quick format" and after like 30 minutes it finished with an error.. hopefully this works.

ok..
whats wrong with just formating the card with ' GPARTED ' .. assumption of Linux usage !
or if you use that sloppy old microsoft O/S then use 'paragon partition manager '
job done yea?

storage tool for wm
Ok

Download " storage tool" for wm. Install it. Send shortcut to start up so that as soon as wm boots it ll find the sd card. When u get storage tool workin u ll have options choose formate or fix the sd then it ll work. It worked for me.

delete file by file and see which one is locked on the card.

yea.. i used mattcleo 1.6b. i can actually still boot up android...but even in android i can't delete anything using astro. I tried replacing android folder using a card reader but that didnt work either... i'm going to try that storage tools suggestion..but i doubt anything will work. CMD finished and said that the disk was unreadable after finishing 99%.
Ok
Sounds like corrupted sectors or damaged disk to me
Put the card into a windows pc and run scandisk on the card, make sure you check : fix errors automatically and scan for bad sectors
hello, i am running mattc froyo1.5b, it is the most stable build for me, when i go to the market i can install apps without any problems but after i exit the app and then go back to using it after a while i become unable to install any app ( when i click on install , it doesnt download the app, and nothing happens to the download progess bar ) i have to shutdown android,restart it and then it will work again.
i tried unmounting the sd card then installing the app but it still won't download
anybody having the same problem? any suggestions?
p.s: i had the same problem with other android builds before mattc froyo 1.5b
not trying to be rude but you should have read the first post more carefully
from the rom thread
MATTC said:
Known problems:
It is easier to list what I know doesn't work.
Certain apps from the market won't install. Neocore is one for example. You have 2 options to get them to work. A) Copy the .apk to your SD card then run it from your phone or B) Unmount your SD card first (Settings > SD Card > Unmount SD Card).
Flashlight app doesn't work. There are some on the market that will work.

Your sd card is definitely corrupted. Backup your files out of the sd card, use a proper sd card formatter and restore everything back again. Because the card is formatted to fat32, the data.img file of which your actual android data files is stored can become heavily defragmented and causing these issues.

No, please don't use that format tool...read the thread...it's no good...it will format the SD Card as FAT16...which is highly inadvisable...
Use Windows to format the sd card.

Good tip Dave, also large files and sketchy data connections, are problematic. if you are not on WIFI, 3G network inconsistency is a big download killer, unless you have a good network H steady connection, the market is inconsistent. I've found

thanks for the hint but... I'm a newby and how can I do it?
Thanks a lot, pal!
I guess it's Settings -> SD-Card and Storage -> Eject SD-Card (or something like that, my phone is set to german so no idea what it says there in english) but can't try atm.
done but... the game still doesn't install...
"Oh well, whatever, nevermind..."
yep, still won't install. same goes for Fruit Ninja, just tells me that installation failed, no further notes or explanations. and raging thunder 2 freezes my phone completely.
ok got it:
unmount sdcard -> install game -> mount sdcard
Hy there people, yeah i know it s boring those app that wont install.
The thing is not in mouting and unmounting sd in settings, i ve tried
a lot of things but noting works, except changing my custom rom.
I used froyostone rom the one with no sense clock can be found on forum.
I never could install angry birds and others app or games, even if i downloaded
the file via pc and put it on my phone with droid explorer.
So i changed to an other rom the one with cyanogen builds, yeah it work
for me to install angry bird lite, but got much other apps that wont install. But those same apps worked on my froyostone rom.
So i guess there are some settings missing in those custom roms so that it make
it possible to install everything..... be patient or buy a second sd card one where you install froyosense with an older 3d patch in it (yeah if i bench froyostone i got a worse benchmark than with cyanogen based rom) and one the
second card install an other vustom rom if you want to install apps that dont
work with froyo...
Ehmmm by the way does somebody know if there is a patch boosting froyostone
rom 3D because i got i a difference of 200 points when i use cyanogen based rom???

I could still access it when going to the lowest directory level and then going to the sdcard folder. seems the card is not really unmounted, just for the system but you can still access it with astro:
press "Up" until it goes no further, then scroll down to "sdcard" and voila.

I can't get this to install no matter what I do. I've tried DLing it from the market, DLing the apk to my card & installing it that way, but it just will not work. Unmounting the SD card doesn't work either. Has anyone gotten this to install on Shubcraft?
Unmounting the card worked for me as well. make sure you are doing it in the right order as the previous posts
Unmount the card
Install game
remount card
A lot of people were unmounting, remounting and then installing
Instructions work.
I was unable to find the file after unmounting. However, as suggested, clicking to the lowest level in Astro and selecting SDCARD revealed the contents. The SDCARD shortcut in Astro did not work, had to navigate as mentioned.
Hi,

This really does work for me! i read somewhere else that suggested to do:

glad to know there was an easier alternative.
As the title suggests, the full version of this game was finally released today. BEWARE, THE SITE KEEPS CRASHING DUE TO THE NUMBER OF HITS:
http://www.getjar.com/
but there are different versions for different android phones and I still haven't found the right one! The fact that the site keeps crashing due the volume of people trying to get the game means that I have only been able to download 2 versions, the desire version and the desire z. I don't even know if there is a version that will work for us yet but, if anyone has the right apk for the HD2 then please post it here.
Thanks

It is also in the market. I am downloading it now.
my question might be a bit off topic (don't want to create another thread), sorry about that, i have read in several threads that i need to unmount and then mount my sd card to install angry birds. just wanted to know how that unmounting/mounting procedure will affect the files in my sd card. basically, is there a possibility to loose all the data/files in the sd card? cheers

as far as I know its not actually unmounting the card, obv we're running android from the card so therefore all sorts of problems would occur no??
I think it just pretends to unmount the card......
not entirely sure though....
Either way, Ive never had any issues.
Also unmounting drastically improves the speed of marketplace downloads......
Not been able to install this bloody game though........... about to try unmounting.
Ive been told it can be installed via ADB, however this involves dl'ing the entire android SDK....... all for a 12meg game about bloody birds........
anyway..... lol
Is there any website to download this game and then install it? I download it fine but installation is unsuccessful ...

Method 1: Go to settings and unmount your SD card. Then open the Market and Download and Install Angry Birds, this will be succesfull and afterwards you can mount your SD Card again.
Method 2: Download Angry Birds (http://www.mediafire.com/?6e1yfy5yg6912nk) and copy it to your SD Card. Next, move the file from the SD Card to internal memory with ASTRO or any file manager. You can place it in the 'cache' folder or something like that. Then unmount your SD card, go to the folder and install the .apk. After the installation is complete, you can mount your SD card again
P.S. Unmounting your SD card will not shut down your Android or make you lose any settings/features. You can safely mount and unmount the SD Card

But even so i STILL cant get my apps to work when they are installed on the SD card. Had the same problem on the former ROM i had. I dont know whats wrong. If i move the app to the phone it works just fine.

when you are using an ext partition, you dont choose to install to sd card, or use app manager to move them to sd card, , . Just leave them set to internal memory, and the OS will put them in the ext partition.

Your rom already has app2sd+ built in, (i think most do now, , note the +,, app2sd and app2sd+, not really sure of the difference, except the built in ones are +) you dont need to install it. It mentions app2sd+ in your roms second post, look out for that when you pick a rom, and you know it will automagically use the ext partition. No user input required.
If i move the app to the phone it works just fine.

do that, move an app back to the phone, then use a filemanager to browse to the sd-ext folder, you will see the app is there, , on the sd card, in the ext partition, even though the system says it is installed internally.
Thank you all for the awsome replies i will stick to it as it is..
