Yes I should have made a list my removal of apps. first of all I got rid of HTC Sense.
Installed GoTheme Launcher Ex first and hen removed rosalia. The droid runs alot smoother and faster now. Also I used TitaniumBackup to move all my apps to SD. and it works great.
There is ALOT bloatware on it and even if you remove that, you have to move most apps to SD. Time to get a 32GB card

The thing is I still end without internall memory. Even if I install to ROM memory my apps, their "data" end up there (example of Copilot with 9 mb data created the first time you open it) we just have 70 mb once booted. there is a way other android use to install all apps to sd and that is making a .ext2 partition for them in the external memory, but we will have to wait as ROM manager's recovery isnt supported yet in our phones.

my computer does'nt understand that command but I suppose is the same as moving them manually or using "apps2sd" application, but as an average apps only move about 1/3 of its weight to the sd and keep the rest in the internal, so I dont know for what I want 32 Gb if I can't use them!!

Any way around this? please help

By the way, I deleted from ROM the following:

Gomarket,
Adx (or watevers the name is of the blue-logo chinese app) :)
Music (I prefer power amp)
Any widget I dont use (callendar, contacts...)
rosalia (htc sense)

I don't understand why you guys are on Chinese version when you already have European or Asian version of rom

Also, I was just wondering if this can help for our problem of short memory. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1233340

you know that you don't actually needed rom manager or Apps2sd to install apps to sd with all their data. you can use link2sd, its just as good and you don't need to create an ext partition per se , you can use anothet fat32 part aswell.tried with ext but failed,so far fat32 works well

Why don't you try searching app by name locale . It helps in changing language
And searching Google for Adding google framework to Chinese roms I remember I: once read something on Google related to this but don't have link

I didn't find any ROM but that one, managed to make android market work by rebooting the phone (full reboot, untick the fast reboot option)

dont know how to add new languaje (if possible)

to modify ROMs just eliminate the .apk you want from system/app inside the zip and add any you want, I just modified mine and added like 15 different apps (file explorer, Copilot, android market, music player, adobe flash...) and doesn't use any memory (just available ROM) you have around 50mb free :) . once you install it look for available memory left with programs like APPS2ROM (it doesn't work in our HTC but helps me see ROM memory left).

i am going to try now to add an app to ROM memory by just creating a .zip file with /system/app folders and the .APK in it, let see if it works

I did several things beforeIt worked, don´t know exactly what it was the one thing that stoped it from crashing again.. rebooting, taking the battery off... note that my market was in the internal memory.

I attach my version, if you cannot find a solution just flash the .Zip file in recovery mode and will install it into the rom memory as system app (works 100%) :)

    SOrry Guys Forgot 2 mention earlier. I moved To Xperia Mini Pro, So any1 else can take over and help PPL here taking hell outta there explorer
    How to:
    1. Download the files - "HTC Pico_Recovery,Boot with ext 2 3 4 support" , "BCM4330.KO" "superuser" from Below link,

    "Superuser.zip" - http://www.4shared.com/file/KalrHXNj/Superuser.html
    "Bcm4330.ko" - http://www.4shared.com/file/GbW0ZtaT/bcm4330.html
    "HTC Pico_Recovery,Boot with ext 2 3 4 support" - http://www.4shared.com/zip/920-kXYc/HTC_Pico_RecoveryBoot_with_ext.html


    2. Extract "HTC Pico_Recovery,Boot with ext 2 3 4 support" somewhere. say: desktop or some drive, copy "BCM4330.ko" onto ur adb "Tools" folder. Copy superuser.zip to ur Sdcard.

    3. connect ur "Htc explorer(Pico) via USB" and open "recovery.bat from the folder u just extracted.

    4. Wait relax, and watch ur device getting new underGarments. now as the time pass the "command Prompt" which just opened after opening "recovery.bat'' will show "adb reboot recovery" as the device boots to recovery, u will given new menu with blue fonts.

    5. Now in recovery go to "Mount & Storage" and select "mount /system" with device connect via USB

    6. I presume u have adb already setup on ur pc/laptop. Open "CMD" and type.
    HTML: 
    adb shell mv -f /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.bak
adb push /full/path/to/bcm4330.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.ko

    7. Now, select "unmount /system" from recovery menu (from where u earlier mounted /system)

    8. select "goback" from below. now go to "install zip from SDcard. and and slect first open (which says choose zip from sdcard, or somthing like this). find the "superuser.zip" which u copied to ur sdcard and flash by selecting it.

    9. Now if flashing goes smooth and it says "install zip from sd complete" then reboot ur device and enjoy.



    For getting more space on ur device, download "link2sd"
    For link2sd to work, i have attached tutorial for this (which i found by googleing) in Jpeg format (picture)

    after getting link2sd to work , u can link the apps to sdcard and save more on device.

    there is another option for getting more space on device.
    Just download "terminal emulator" from market. pls note: u need to be rooted for this.

    and give su permission to the app when prompted.
    just enter
    HTML: 
    su
pm setInstallLocation 2

    now u will be taken to the next line and thats all
    all ur apps will be installed to sdcard automatically. please note: when installing widgets, pls move them back to ur phone memory as they dont work on sdcard


    Suggestion: You can pm me if you have some confusions or facing some problems rather than going some where else. I am always happy to help and there for the android community

    Hey jitin02,

    Thanks a lot for the post... But here are some changes I had to do to root my phone.

    a. To install recovery:
    The bat file kept waiting for the device infinitely. I just manually ran the two fastboot commands and the reboot command to setup recovery.

    b. Copying superuser files:
    Your method of extracting the zip file and then pushing them over to the /system directory will surely not work on windows systems, especially FAT32 file system computer, su file will not have executable rights when its copied into the dir.

    right way is
    copy superuser.zip to sdcard
    boot into recovery
    choose install from a zip option and point to that zip


    Thanks for the post!

    WIFI error and solution!!

    rooted the phone manually with .cmd and then installed .zip from sd card.

    when rebooting no wifi connection (error) and then formated using recovery but it didnt reboot (supose i have no rom installed now =$) how can i install another one, is there any for explorer?

    any compatible rom would be fine for the time being.. =S

    EDIT: found a ROM at last from a chineese site, (Eng and chinese languaje) the first one out there!!

    here is the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3RC9EE9Z

    enjoy :)

    Need wifi module

    Reason for wifi not working: Kernel version in boot.img and wifi driver module in the folder /system/lib/modules differ. Kernel is not loading wifi driver.

    If any of you who has put custom ROM on the phone and are using wifi pass me your wifi driver I will try this fix

    You just need to run this command and give me the file.

    adb pull /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.ko

    Please guys i need this file.
