Can I replace the signal strength bars with dBm in CM7 Nightlies? If so, how?

No, I don't want an app that adds a notification, I just want to replace the existing bars with the dBm.

CM6 had this in later versions, but I don't think it has been added into CM7 yet, so is there another way to do it?

I have several apps and data on my Desire... Currently I am running a MIUI-rom. I already made a backup of the rom... If I decide to flash a new rom, does that mean I will lose all my data, like saves from games and stuff like that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crendot:
hi,

so if you dont backup them you will lose them probably

TitatniumBackup can save your user apps + data, so this will not be lost

but system data(wifi spots, contacts, bookmarks, ...) could also be backuped but with care!

if you change the android version most of the system apps change and also if you change rom type it will probably not work.

i can tell you how i do save all my data.

1. i do a complete nandroidbackup (if you want 2 go back from where you came)

2. a Titanium´Backup (sometimes system data could also be restored)

3. i use MyPhoneExplorer to backup my Contacts

4. MyBackup Root, to save my Sms/mms and other stuff (exept from Contact wich are put in the Google Account i like the app ;)

Sounds a little bit much, but most of the apps have advantages at some point but also flaws on a other point!

ps.: yep i know most of them could be stored in the cloud but i like it lokal
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I use the Google backup feature when registering my account on first boot.

Last time, all my user apps and data restored, plus wifi profiles, system settings etc (even my wallpaper) were reapplied. I did nandroid and TiBu also but didn't use them at all!

To use this you could nandroid backup, wipe everything, restore and check the options re backup when registering. Then wipe everything again, flash rom of choice, and wait. You may need a reboot for all the changes to take effect!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightbox:
that kind of datas are stored in SDCard, so if you don't format it, you should not have problems, but always do a backup before flashing

Hi all.

I was talking to someone yesterday, that also got a DHD like me, and he show me a lot of this that his phone could, and he told me about this website and talked about that i had to downgrade my phone to update it again to something else that i cant remember.

But anyways i found a guide on the net how to downgrade it to 1.32.405.6, and i succes with that, but now is the Q how do i update to something else? Eks this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1020637 can i put this kernel to the sd card and its updatet ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
well welcome to the ROOTed WORLD!, its beautiful here!

anyway, make sure you have ClockworkMod recovery. If you dont, the simplest way is to download ROM Manager and Flash the recovery (first option).

After that go into recovery (vol down + power button) and do a backup (also known as nandroid) so if anything goes bad, you can restore your ROM.

After that you can flash certain things, ROMs, Kernels, Mods, etc...

I personally havent flashed any Kernels over my ROMs kernel, because i believe that the Kernel for my ROM is the perfect one, so i dont know what will happen exactly if you flash the Kernel to your ROM.

But dont worry, if anything goes bad, you can flash a ROM/Kernel back to your phone (or restore your nandroid) and it will be fine (unless your phone is bricked! - in that can, im sorry!)

EDIT: That kernel is for CM7 ROMs only!!!!, so if you want that kernel, make sure you flash CM7 first!

OK now I have a problem. Although my internal sd is now showing as my external sd card, when I moved my installed apps to my sd card they somehow managed to move to my external sd card which was previously my internal sd card so it beats they purpose of this process. Maybe I'll have to reinstall all my apps.

Edit: Just installed an app from the market and I cannot move to the sd card because my external sd is full. So basically the phone is functioning the same even though it shows that the sd cards have been swapped.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
I agree with this.

Generally formatting does help. You should have a SDcard with higher class to have better read/ write speed and reduce the lag. As the capacity of the SDcard increases chances of lag increases as per my experience, which is quite logical as lot of data is stored on the card.

Use external SD card partitions for internal and external both

I have two partitions (FAT32) - 8GB each on my external SD card.

I want to mount mmcblk1p1 (first partition) as internal SD card and mmcblk1p2 (2nd partition) as external SD card.

I understand that this would leave the 1.52 GB internal SD card partion, unusable. However to use this partition (mmcblk0p1), I am thinking of using Link2SD tool's script (install-recovery.sh) to mount this partition and usable only for linking applications from phone to this internal partition. (Even if I am not able to do this, I am okay with not using this partition :) ).

Is there anyway to mount partitions from the same (external SD card) in vold.fstab file?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
Amit, i dont understand why you want to mount sd card as both internal and external card. People do the same because they have low internal memory but this has 2GB internal memory for apps. I have over 30 apps running but using less than 400MB.

You are correct, I might not be needing more that 1.52 GB (for now), but I just wanted to know that whether vold.fstab can mount from different partitions from the same device. I read the specs for vold.fstab and it allows to put the partion number in the syntax. I tried doing accordingly but no success. Can someone please let me know if this is feasible or not?

hope some one can teach me in this.. i tried 5 times or much in root explorer.. :)

but it didnt swap my external sd.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Did you mount the system as RW from RO? You have to mount system partition before replacing the file. or you cant over write the file. If yes which version of root explorer are you using... One version had problem as reported by many users here.

ok sir i will try to get pther root explorer.. btw where will i get the other version? thanks for the reply sir..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mjbri0613:
oh yeah... i made it... with A and B method... ^_^

guys for those unsuccessful swap.( i mean is to those who try to swap but did not success, here is the instruction i follow) by combining trip's method.. ^_^

1st install the driver through kies.

2nd use USB debugging mode in your Galaxy SL ( settings> application> development> check USB debugging mode.

and attached your phone to your computer.

then follow trip's instruction in command prompt. this is it:

at start pls write this command CD\

C:\>cd sdswap

C:\sdswap>adb push C:\sdswap\Mod\vold.fstab /sdcard/external_SD

3 KB/s (921 bytes in 0.250s)

C:\>cd sdswap

C:\sdswap>adb shell

$ su

Su

then after that you will see super user at your GALAXY SL

press YES.

# mount -o remount rw /system

mount -o remount rw /system

then proceed to trip's step A.(in rootexplorer)

Now using root explorer, Copy the modified "vold.fstab" unzipped from mod_voldfstab.zip downloaded.(long press the vold.fstab then you will see copy)

then paste it to system/etc.

restart your phone.

(takenote: you may see that the vold.fstab you copying is 921kb and may replace the vold.fstab with 922kb at your system.etc

youre done! ^_^

As usual I am not responsible for Bricked device.. You try this hack at your own risk

Now my questions:

1.) It is recommended that the upper code line must have the mmcblk0? The regarding posts of your original vold.fstab doesn't include the exactly path from /dev/block/.

2.) Can someone explain how the mmcblk0 is going into this path? I think it's automatically generate when the sdcard is mounted. Sometimes my 2. Sdcard isn't there (Hardware Problem?) so the mmcblk1 is not found in /dev/block/. The weired think is, that i can see and use it on /sdcard/sd/, but on win/linux i see the internal card as I: and the external as G: but can only access by I: to the external sdcard from the including mount point /sdcard/sd/. This Method have many disadvantages.
