I did a google search and didn't find anything maybe I am a id10t but I can't find a way to make the Android Market download apps install to the SD card everything goes to the Mail memory.
The stock intercept rom (2.1) doesn't like installing apps to sd.
anyway to use a ext partition?
Please go to sdx-developers.com and search for:
Apps2sd now working on Intercept
Read and decide for whether you want it.
Virgin Mobile USA Samsung Intercept is getting Froyo (Android 2.2) upgrade around 3/25/2011. After that App2SD will be a in-built feature.
Sprint Samsung Intercept already was upgraded to Froyo (Android 2.2) in Dec/Jan 2011.
Can't do this on Eclair (v2.1). Update for VM Intercept to Froyo (v2.2) was scheduled for today (the 25th) as EducateAndInnovate said, but he also posted an info update to me on another forum that on the 23rd, VM tweeted that they're pushing it back to first week of April due to "internal timing issues". A contact I have at Samsung (Android Engineer) said Samsung released the new ROM to Sprint and VM already so we just have to wait on them to finish. If you wait for the update from them so you have Froyo, then you should be able to do AppsToSD.
Of course, you can always root the device and not wait for VM ;-)

I already installed a version of "Cupcake" manually. Will I get the update automatica
A: G1 devices that have been manually updated with an early version of Android 1.5 will not receive the Android 1.5 OTA as the device already assumes it has received the software.
T-Mobile does not support manual installations and will not assume responsibility for any device problems or failures as a result.
This was taken from the tmobile forum...
what do we ave to do to get the tmobile update...
Also..if i have JF 1.5 and wan to switch to haruyko's do i need to remove jf 1.5?
tia
Well, since you're rooted you won't receive the OTA update. If you wanted the "OEM" T-mobile update, you would have to "unroot", or the better alternative (IMO) wait for the modified version of the T-Mobile update once it gets done by one of the update guys (JF, Haykuro, Dude, etc...)
If you have JF 1.5 and you want to move to another one, you don't "remove" the ROM, but just flash the other one on, it's recommended to wipe the phone before moving on to the next one.
Very basic stuff here already covered in the update threads, just an FYI.
Thanks again, pardon me for asking such noob q's but with all the activity going on its just really hard to find answers ..plus with all the bricking going on I just wanted to ask directly.
This was something I noticed since HTC has been updating the EVO, Droid, etc to Android 2.2. The Aria doesn't allow you to check for software updates under Settings > About Phone like is says on their manual and website.
So what's up with that? For those that haven't rooted their phones and when 2.2 is released on the Aria we'll have to wait for AT&T to push the OTA update?
No early adopters allowed, unless rooted of course. lol
I don't remember where I saw it, but I think the stock ROM currently is unable to accept an OTA update. It's supposed to be included with the 2.2 ROM whenever that happens. So it'll probably be a download on the HTC site when the time comes, which is supposed to be before the end of the year.
yeah, theres no OTA with the stock sense rom; when 2.2 gets its official release, it will be a download through either at&t or htcs website.
i would suggest simply rooting your phone and installing attn1s CM6, which is a full on 2.2 rom.
Hi,
I bought a Legend a couple of weeks ago and I been playing with it, I'm to afraid to try to root it and at the end I'm leaving this phone to my wife and getting something more high end for me.
Now I noticed that Froyo is out for the phone. But when I try to find the update OTA it says that my phone is up to date.
The specs are
Firmware version
2.1-update1
Baseband
47.39.35.09U_7.08.35.21
Software number
2.06.709.3
I don't want root access or anything (but if I need to root it I will), what I do is
Downloaded the debranded ROM
put it in the SD Card Root file.
Start the Phone in recovery mode
But I get a big red Triangle with a ! sign after that.
Do i need the "golden card" to be able to upgrade?
The Froyo update is not available to unbranded Legends yet. You just have to wait a few more days (maybe) for it to be released for unbrandeds or your specific carriers ROM.
If you really can't wait you can root your Legend to install the Vodafone Froyo ROM which is already available as rooted version here.
Here is a thread with a good overview of some important threads you might want to check:
Development FAQ
You will find the links to two threads you need to root your phone.
1. [HOWTO] DOWNGRADE to 1.31 which you can then root for Legend 2.1
2. [HOWTO] Rooting your Legend! Guide from MoDaCo!
after successfully rooting you can download "ROM Manager" from the Market and for example this rooted Froyo ROM:
[ROM]FroYo - Android 2.2 -Kernel 2.6.32.17 - Build on Vodafone release - ROOTED!. Just move the .zip to your SD Card and choose to install a ROM from SD in the ROM Manager menu.

Hello, evilhomer2
The only way to move apps to your SD is installed "Froyo" on your phone, and you can only spend a few apps that will carry you.

Well first a clarification, all versions of android also about numbers and letters that vary according to area, have a name in common that define them. For example: android 2.1 is "Eclair", android 2.2 is "Froyo" ... and android 2.3 "gingerbread" ...
therefore have to be installed ...." Froyo Android 2.2 (this version if permitted) to do the above. officer via (KIES).
therefore, I see your android now have 2.1 "eclair"
click: Preferences / on the phone ... and there really all that I mentioned.
Note: To upgrade you have to wait ... to what you propose kies ... patience...
Froyo is Android 2.2, what you have is Android 2.1 (Eclair).
Samsung has not yet released Froyo firmware in all countries..when they do, you will know in these forums or through Kies. Meanwhile if you are technically savvy, you can install one of the firmwares already released or leaked or customized..go to the Development forums to find out details.
na i dont wanna risk bricking my phone or invalidating my warranty i will just do it the old fashioned way and delete apps as memory get full.

The warranty is one thing, but you flash firware practically (permanent-damage) risk free if you dont flash the bootloader
The great developers and testers at sdx-developers came up with two version of Froyo using VM USA Froyo release.
1.
Rooted Froyo ROM for those who previously upgraded to Sprint Froyo 2.2
For Sprint baseband, DL05 or DF27
2.
Stock Froyo ROM based on latest VM USA
A few people tested this and reported that MMS and Voice Mail notifications working again.
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/int...obile-froyo-2-2-stock-system-and-kernel-dump/
Please read in detail and decide for yourself.
I'm still not sure about this update. It's not as simple as running Update.zip, right? You need to flash it, then do a factory reset, then download another program, run that, and THEN it works? Also, is this a modified ROM at all?
Yeah, this isn't the zipped rom from Virgin Mobile, this is pieced (back) together from the 2.2 update installed on an Intercept after the fact, apparently.
3:30pm PDT on 4/13 and still nothing.
I still haven't seen anybody come up with the actual 2.2 Froyo zipped rom from Virgin Mobile. Apparently everyone so far has popped a nut when they get the update and installed it directly instead of downloading it and choosing to install it later, then locating it on their phone and posting it somewhere.
I've got aLogcat installed. I am just waiting for the update to show up. I've seen the message that it is coming. Still waiting for it to arrive though. When it does I'll try to get the devs what they need. I don't really know what I am doing, but I'll give it a go.
I guess this no longer matters as the official update is now in the hands of SDX-Developers.
got mine on 4/20
holy sweet baby jesus this stuff is killing me! I've managed (by the grace) to get my bf's intercept rooted (not temp).. been on this for hours! I'm fairly accustomed to the process as I have an evo and been flashing nightlies for months.
I can't get a recovery on the phone via swupgrade. I put the cm01.tar in the binary folder by itself, and the thing goes through right to the last part and just sits there, doesn't transfer. heeeelp pleeeease! I'm so sick of this now. I was able to delete much of the bloat ware and now I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble to try and get a better rom / kernel. Advice?
