    Link2SD and nandroid backups?

    Tired of dealing with the miniscule internal storage of my Optimus V, I wiped it, reloaded CM7 (BobZhome's 7.2 build), and repartitioned the SD card so it has an EXT partition to use with Link2SD. Everything works great. I can actually add a new app without having to delete one first...

    How to identify a widget?

    Let's say you have a widget on your homescreen. Is there a way to determine the name of that widget (or its associated app)? I'm guessing not, given the number of people posting screenshots and asking, "can someone identify this widget," but I thought someone might know some trick. I wish you...

    Mount SD card on laptop via Bluetooth?

    I'm guessing the answer is "no," but I won't discount the possibility that I'm just too dumb to figure it out. Can you mount your SD card as a volume on your laptop over Bluetooth like you can via USB?

    Exclude a single app from Market updates?

    I have the Electronic Arts version of Scrabble installed. They recently released an update that weighs in at thirty-two megs, so I said screw that nonsense, I'll just keep the old version (which was pretty chunky to begin with - 20 MB or so, IIRC). The problem is that Scrabble shows up on the...

    Root Optimus T stuck in boot loop (possible TiBu issue?)

    I have an Optimus T, rooted but with the stock ROM. I ran the Titanium Backup "integrate Dalvik into ROM" function, which seemed to work fine, but it didn't free up that much space, so I ran the "undo Dalvik cache integration". It rebooted, and now it seems to be stuck in a loop at the...

    Help Noob question about SIM cards

    Can you get a prepaid SIM that'll work in an Optimus T? If so, will this work in Mexico and/or Canada? Sorry for the idiot questions; I've never had a phone that even had a SIM card, so I don't know how that stuff works.

    Help FM radio (not streaming)?

    I was fooling around with a T-Mobile Optimus T and saw that it has FM radio capability. Like, actual analog broadcast radio reception. You can't do that with an Optimus V, can you? Is there a discrete FM radio receiver in the OT, or is that just a byproduct of some other chipset with...

    Titanium Backup: Integrate Dalvik into ROM?

    Titanium Backup's feature list includes this: "Integrate Dalvik cache system elements into ROM, which can free up internal memory as well." Can someone explain what this does and how it works? Does it just move dalvik-cache into the /system partition?

    Android internal filesystem structure/partition sizes?

    The internal storage of an Android phone seems to be partitioned - /cache, /data, /dev, /etc, and /system seem to act as logical volumes, as best as I can tell. Is there any way to resize these, or control how much space they get when installing a particular ROM? (please don't hesitate to...

    Root Two Dalvik Caches

    I noticed that I also have both these dalvik-cache directories (running CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC1-IHO-KANG on a Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V). The one in /cache causes me some issues since that directory seems to be capped at 110 megs, so if dalvik-cache gets too big, I don't have enough space to...

    Yet another "package file is invalid" thread

    I've been wrestling with this "package file is invalid" business for a while, and none of the usual tricks (clearing Market app data, wiping /cache, etc.) have worked. In this case, Market updates for a particular app (My-Cast Weather) were failing with a "package file is invalid" error. As an...

    "My-Cast Weather" vs. "My-Cast Weather Classic"?

    Anyone know the difference between My-Cast Weather and My-Cast Weather Classic? They're both $3.99 in the Market.

    Multiple copies of amazon_appstore.apk?

    Apologies if this is a blatant noob question (I did consult the googles as best I could). When installing the Amazon appstore app, I somehow managed to download the apk multiple times, and looking in the notifications list, they seemed to be getting saved individually ("amazon_appstore-2.apk...
