HELP!!

I have successfully installed a2sd but when I type command a2sd darktremor check there is a problem that is not run at boot even though I have follow step 7 before installing darktremor

and another problem when I type command a2sd cachesd all applications does not show and could not run so i factory format and back to normal again

how a2sd can run normal on my ace ??? i still have this problem 3 times
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] code28h4p:
How bout this...this isn't app2sd by darktremor, i've played with a script a little bit. Hope you will like it. I've posted a screenshot of my internal and a benchmark result here.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] majedev:
Hmm, I get your point, although a2sd cachesd is running fine for me without enabling a2sd at boot. Anyways, here's how you do it. Open adb shell, and execute the following:

su
mount -r remount, rw /dev/stl12 /system
echo "/system/bin/sh /system/etc/init.d/dtapp" >> install-recovery.sh
echo "/system/bin/sh /system/etc/init.d/99complete" >> install-recovery.sh

Reboot and type a2sd check, make sure it doesn't complain about booting.

Edit: I've added this to the main guide. Thanx for pointing this out :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] majedev:
I see that you also moved the /data/data directory. There are many scripts laying around to do the trick by symlinking apps and dalvik-cache. The benefit of a2sd is that it is easy to roll back without alot of hassle. It does most of the checks for ya without getting your hands dirty.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] xdah:
"cannot create install-recovery.sh: read-only file system" what should i do ?

and about my error a2sd cachesd happened after phone reboot after i type command a2sd cachesd, whats wrong with my ace ???

wew i want too

how can do it ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] majedev:
You forgot this command "mount -r remount,rw /dev/stl12 /system".

Anyways, I suggest you follow the guide all over again, just to make sure you didn't forget anything. I've updated it with a2sd boot enabled, so this will fix the cachesd problem.

Nothing is wrong with your ACE :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] cheehing:
i got download this from DT web, is this the a2sd version can be use in out SGA?

a2sd-2.7beta5-signed.zip
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] majedev:
I've tested beta4, didn't know there was a beta5 out there. Anyways, I'm pretty sure this one will work for ya too.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] xdah:
done but still cannot install

so i've tried follow again all over 4 times and still error :(

now i am use link2sd to safe my ace
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] majedev:
It works just fine with me, no troubles whatsoever. You might be missing something here or there?

Appreciate your feedback. I hope others share their experience, cuz this phone has very limited internal memory and everyone wants to extend it.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] fahmitue:
problem

my problem is when i exxecute

mount -r remount, rw /dev/stl12 /system

it says usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

what to do??? please help.. maybe some problems with the script?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] peeter123:
Try: mount -o,rw,remount /dev/stl12 /system
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] fahmitue:
im putting the script rite! yay! no more error.. rebooting....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] fahmitue:
i try the below script... but after reboot...

mount -o,rw,remount /dev/stl12 /system

cd /system/etc

mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery.sh.bak

echo "#!/system/bin/sh" > install-recovery.sh

echo "mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd" >> install-recovery.sh

echo "/system/bin/sh /system/etc/init.d/dtapp" >> install-recovery.sh

echo "/system/bin/sh /system/etc/init.d/99complete" >> install-recovery.sh

after reboot.. theres no /system/sd

how come? what can i be wrong?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] peeter123:
Had the same problem. Try:

mount -o,rw,remount /dev/stl12 /system
mkdir /system/sd
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] fahmitue:
help

mkdir /system/sd

mkdir failed for /system/sd/. File exits.

what to do???

i cant manage to install the software without this pass?

after reboot the /system/sd/ will not be there.. helpppp
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] majedev:
Could you try the following command and send me the output:

cat /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] fahmitue:
wait..

im formatting my sd card.. i think i make mistake at resizing the card for 2gb.. it is said that it cannot go beyond 1gb.. im trying again.. and i will let you know.. thank you

cat /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

#!/system/bin/mount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

/system/bin/sh /system/etc/init.d/dtapp

what should i do? after the reboot.. i run adb shell

su

df

then there is no /system/sd
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] majedev:
Hmm, your install-recovery.sh script file is corrupted.

What OS do u have on ur computer?

1- Let's try another approach. First download the attached file and extract its content to your sd card root (through USB storage mode). No you should have a file named install-recovery.sh on your sd card root directory.

2- Turn off USB storage mode, then open adb shell. Execute the following:

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/stl12 /system

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

cp /sdcard/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/

chmod 755 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

3- Reboot and check for /system/sd
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] fahmitue:
rebooting now

YAY!!!!!!! IT WORKS!!! now im installing the darktremor...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] majedev:
And we got a winner!!

Seems that I have many glitches in my guide, I think I'll rework it and create a single script to manage everything out (and I'm just too lazy for that:D)

Thanks for your feedback :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] fahmitue:
can i install sd enabler after install darktremor?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] majedev:
What do you mean by "sd enabler"?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] harrythescorpion:

i seem to having the same exact issue..can u please upload the installrecovery file again?? the link is not working. thanx :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] majedev:
Here ya go,

I'll update the guide today (hopefully!) and include one single script that does everything..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] mode90x:
That would be greatly appreciated :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] fahmitue:
can i use

a2sd cachesdreset

this script if my memory phone is almost full? is the memory phone will drop and the cache will transfer to sd rite? or if i use the

a2sd cachepartreset

what is the differences? can i move the cache if i have installs tons of things to my galaxy ace? thanks!

Hey there newbie on here i have done a search but cant find an answer sorry, I have just installed FreeX10 Beta 4 froyo 2.2.1 rom with fixes and all seems to be working well except i cant connect to my WIFI router. It allows me to dial in the key and it says its connecting but then disconnects straight away anyone else having this problem?? Is there any fixes available?? Thankyou in advance

How did you manage to fix this? I have the same problem.

I've installed the Blade WIFI fix app but it doesn't work most of the time even though it says attempting to fix.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honglong:
same here.

I use the stock 2.1 rom and wifi is ok, FreeX10 Beta 4 and the wifi works and then after a whille becomes disconnected.

I tried Blade Wifi fix, wifi fixer, all from the android market and they all fix it maybe once or twice then wifi disconnects again.

For now, I have added power control widget to the homescreen and disable then enable to get wifi working.

I am using the Wifi to turn off with screen.

Bizzarely I have a ZTE Blade before running 2.2.1 and the wifi always worked flawlessly. Weird.

Wonder if its anything to do with WEP or WPA2?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prodigy:
Exactly the same problem.

I think its a cynanogen mod settings that was set to automatically disconnect or something like that. I can;t seem to find it.

The problem is, wifi is slow and constantly disconnects then you have to connect manually to it, which takes a while. Hopefully it would be fixed in the next update, because going online is just vital for our androids.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gil2004xp:
Check this :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] honglong:
Thanks for the link. My problem isn't connecting to an enterprise network. It does connect but after a few hours will stay disconnected if your using WPA or WPA2. Using WEP (64bit or 128bit) the problem is still there. Only is works a few hours more before disconnecting. The only way to fix it is to disable Wifi and enable it.

Tried ZTE Blade wifi fix and all the others from the market. Same problem.

So definately some issue with the rom/wifi settings.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmegaRED^:
It's a phone issue.. oddly the x10 hates some routers.. it's is possible that you are having -wifi- clashes at work.

Does it do this only at work?

if yes.. then it's the router at work.

:severe edit

I'm using blade wifi fix.. no issue's what so ever.

It was fine before I switched to freex10 and its the only issue I found so far with it. I think I saw one of the settings in cyanogen... IM not sure. Help please

[Galaxy S I9000 General] krs360:
Hey TotalMusic,

Welcome to the glorious world of Galaxy S!!

Rooting is a permissions thing, not a ROM. Think of it like (but not) giving yourself Administrator rights on Windows.

You have a lot of reading to do before you start flashing ROMS. You should have a read of the stickies in the General section of this forum, specifically these ones:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=939752

MAKE SURE YOU READ THEM ALL!!! I didn't, then almost had several heart attacks thinking I had bricked my shiny new toy! It was only thanks to the helpful folk on this site that I didn't end up buying a new one.

Why do you want Gingerbread? Are you like me and feel like you must have the very latest software? Or is there a specific feature you want?

Well apparently it flashed the stock for the moment (I think from what it looks like anyways) to my phone, and now it is inoperable. I could explain why I did that but it won't help anything, I misread and I messed up. Anyone know how to go about fixing this? Or have I lost all hope?
[Intercept General] dodgejcr:
I know Im a lil late but yeah if you flashed that you are 100% bricked. No way to recover. You have to patch SWUpdater and use a tar that was made for the intercept.

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidburst:
Please help guys because i am at a loss here.

Initially i download a .xap that made my mobile carrier string in the registry from Tmobile USA to blank. I did this to get the prenodo update. That worked out well.

I then downloaded a .xap file that changed my mobile carrier string from blank to i believe '00-99' in order to get the nodo update. I was not able to get the nodo update using the timing method.

Now i would like to chnage that '00-99' back to the original Tmobile USA setting so that I dont have any problems getting updates designed for my carrier region in the future.

Please help me out here.

I would like to know how to do this or if somebody has distributed a .xap file that would be great too. Does anyone know what the original value for that registry entry was?

Thank you so much.

Sometimes when I plug it into my computer, if I let it long enough, it connects in flash menu and the LED turns green. I tried to install other firmware using SEUS but It sais I already have the latest software and I do not have a reinstall button.

I also flashed a X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897 2.1 firmware but I get the same results. Also, despite the fact that I let it charge over the night, when I press the power button, the LED indicates that there is no battery.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draganu:
PC Companion and SEUS say that I have allready the latest software (wich I don't). As for xRecovery, I used the manual method with root explorer from the begining, because I couldn't install xRecovery as an app. I also tried to boot recovery with Quick Boot, but nothing. Any other ideas?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kistigun:
Ok try this: install root explorer, open root explorer and go to /system. Change R/O into R/W(the button in the right top corner) search for a file called build.prop and long press it untill a menu pops up. Select 'open in text editor'. Scroll down to:

ro.semc.version.cust=XXXX-XXXX

ro.product.name=x10_XXXX-XXXX

(the XXXX-XXXX resamble some numbers)

and change both the XXXX-XXXX into 1232-9897 press menu, save & exit.

Reboot the phone and start up pc companion. Choose in pc companion the update option and choose repair and follow the procedure.\

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draganu:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kistigun:
Strange, i've flashed my x10 several times with this routine. After changing the numers in the build.prop did you restart the phone before you repaired it with pc companion?

I forgot to say this: before you repair the phone with pc companion go to windows explorer and go to this location(make sure you can see hidden files & folders):

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\

And delete the folder called db
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draganu:
PC Companion does not repair the phone. I go through the process, but somewere it gives me a Installation error saying ”unable to install or start phone software update components”.

In Build.prop I don't have ro.semc.version.cust and ro.product.name at all.

I only have ro.semc.version.fs that has the XXXX-XXXX number.

I don't have the db folder in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\ although I can see hidden files. I deleted the db folder from Update Service, but SEUS still says that there is no software update for my phone. And I don't have a Repair option in SEUS. I will try installing an older version, maybe it will give me the option to Repair

So... other ways to flash a custom ROM? Or some other way to enter the recovery menu?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kistigun:
I'm verry sorry i've made a mistake, you have to change the numbers in the default.prop file not in the build.prop file. Try it, it will work!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draganu:
Ok, I did it and now PC companion says that I have a new software update. If I check from the phone menu, it also says that a 2.1 update is available and that I should install it from my PC.

When I click the update in PC companion and arrive at the second step, ”Prepare”, it is downloading something and then it says "Preparing your computer for software update" But it doesn't finish the step and it gives me a "Instalation error: unable to install or start phone software update components". Is this because of the phone or it has something to do with my laptop? I reinstalled PC companion, but I get the same thing.

I am begining to lose my fate and I can't stand the 1.6 timescaped system anymore. I want stock Froyo or Gingerbread (or at least official 2.1)
