When you have read the thread you knew you first have to install doomlord's v2 kernel, then install apps2sd, then v10 kernel.

What worked for me with the new kernel and firmware:

-flash/update firmware to 4.0.A.2.368

-flash doomlord kernel v2

-startup and attach phone with usb as mass storage

-format as for example 15GB FAT32 (1st primary) + 1 GB EXT3 (second primary)

-copy apps2sd zip to the FAT32 partition

-restart in recovery (power+menu) and install zip via menu (should give no errors and 3 mount messages)

-restart and now reset factory defaults in the android privacy menu without formatting the SD-card!

-after the automatic restart you should get a black screen after "Sony Ericsson" which means you did it right! Then pull the battery and restart.

-Now it should start normally

-Install a new app and check if it installs to sd-ext. You can check that with a file manager and/or the Titanium Backup main-screen which should show the sd-ext drive.

-If everything is ok install the v10 doomlord kernel.

-Install a new app and check if it installs to sd-ext. You can check that with a file manager and/or the Titanium Backup main-screen which should show the sd-ext drive.

-Let us know if it worked for v2 and later on v10.

There won't be any App2sd software installed. It's a script. If you have Root Explorer try to install an application then using Root Explorer go to system/etc/sd-ext and check if the application appears there. Mine just works fine first time. But I had to remove app2sd since i'm using Class 2 Micro SD so the performance won't be that great :( When I installed App2SD I had DoomKernel v8 :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
ok thanks for your help its working now
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
one conformation is requied

now app2sd is working fine on my arc

just one thing to ask from your side

all things working fine but when i want to connect my card to pc then its not connected

i tab on connect my phone then tab on connect memory card

phone says its connected but their is no drive icon of SD card appears in PC/My Computer.

and when i connect it in media transfer mode its work fine

only isssue is come when i try to connect it in memory card mode

is the same thing happened with all those who install the app2SD
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
Not, it should work. Everything is the same, the only thing different is the size of the drive off course. When you format the SD card the first drive has to be the windows fat32 drive (primary) or it will not be recognized. The second drive can be de ext3 drive (primary) which cannot be accessed by widows directly.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
I have the problem too, but I am not sure it has anything to do with APP2SD as it often happens after intensive use of large programs (or playing Angry Birds).

Turning on off solves the problem.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
By the way, does anyone know if a higher sd card class results in noticeable better performance when apps2sd is used? Most of us use a 8/16gb class 2 supplied by SE. But maybe some have expanded along the way and bought a higher class card. Even class 10 16/32gb cards cost only 20/50euro's...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ysambo:
1.Download and copy to sdcard.

2.Install it via Recovery.

3.Connect your phone to ADB and type as below:

Code:

adb remount

adb shell

a2sd reinstall

Restart your device.

It will show a black screen after SE logo.

Remove battery and restart.

It don't work too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azian_advanced:
forgive me if this was already answered in the thread but since apps are now on the sd card rather than on the built-in RAM, wouldn't it take slightly longer to open up apps and also take longer to boot? or is the difference barely even noticeable?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ysambo:
I try and try now it ok
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
Internal memory still in use

Hy

i install app2sd and its working for me

now titanium backup show me four drives

Rom, internal, SD, & ext-3

when i install any app its apk file goes into EXT-3 partition, i check it through Root explorer but my internal memory still in used and its still have data

when ever i install an apk its go into ext-3 but also its some part fill up my internal memory.

tell me where i am wrong

the pics are attached

in these pics its clear that internal memory and ext-3 both are used
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
That's due to cache. It will go down slowly. Right now i have over 200 apps on sd-ext and still around 75mb free of system memory without any cleaning whatsoever. Otherwise it should be 100mb+ I think. My main reason to use apps2sd is to never have to move apps to the sd card manually. Install = done. Also backups can now be restored in 1 go instead of cleaning up the internal memory all the time.

BTW, the speed is excellent. Maybe a little bit slower than normal when istalling or removing apps. I will buy a class 10 card in the near future (around 20eu for 16gb and 50eu for 32gb) to see if the phone benefits. Any experiences of other people are welcome!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
is there any way to clear it

Is there is any way to clear that cache memory without losing installed app or not

or

it is possible that all the things install in EXT-3 and nothing goes into internal memory
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
You could move dalvik cauche. See page 1. Don't know about a possible bootloop.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] svprm:
Now i don't have Xperia Arc.

So i can not able to help you.

Try the attachment.

Install it via Recovery.

Then install a2sd using

"a2sd install" or "a2sd reinstall"

Check whether it is working or not.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zohaib0001:
ok

ok i will try this and let you know
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Abaddon:
anyone tried this on the latest f/w w/ the test kernel of doom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
Seems to work. But I'm low on phone memory right now for some reason. The apps are on sd-ext. Maybe I have format to get all the junk off.

But be aware that the new kernel is a test version without vibration,hdmi,and pc connectivity. I also notice a heavy battery drain but I'm not sure it's due to the kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
Battery drain seems to be wifi issue. had the same memory issue but re-installed a2sd and fine
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
I got a tip to set smartassv2 instead of ondemand for this paricular kernel and the drain is now much lower. Still not as good as it should be but useable.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] milkmanglc:
doesnt seem to work on blends new kernal :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
Same here, using link2sd. Does the same.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] milkmanglc:
Thanks sinkster, have tried a .zip through recovery and it still doesn't work :-(do you have a link to what you used or a quick guide......thanks in advance
[Xperia Arc Android Development] funiewski:
recovery does not recognize sd-ext

I have one problem with app2sd for arc, I use it on xperia ray and it is working fine both with doomkernel and cm7.1. The problem is with nand backup, recovery did not recognize sd-ext. I have tried both ext3 and ext4.

Any advices?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plopingo:
"Install it via Recovery."

" install zip from sdcard " or " update.zip " ?

thanks in advance and thanks for your works
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
You have to chooce "Install zip from SD-card" (you then get the choice to select the wandted *.zip file from card) - the other is only for a file named " update.zip".

After factory reset (with choosing erase SD card), my arc reboots with "Home" button not working and when I connect to PC, neither MTP nor MSC works.

Is there any way to recover that issue?

on xperia neo i get a reboot every time i 'install' something that i downloaded off the market it just make the phone i guess this script has become kinda useless ?!

thanks !

app2sd is outaded use link2sd is much better

[Xperia Arc Android Development] St0rmer66:
Have to agree... Link2SD appears to do everything a2sd does but with less hassle and more control!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plopingo:
The biggest problem of APP2SD is moving ALL APP on SD with no control and for people who have not a fast micro SDHC is very problematic for some system app :/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] svprm:
Link 2 sd does not support for widgets.

In my opinion app2sd is good for low internal phone memory mobiles.

[Galaxy S II General] isotoper:
Hello,

The question is, whether a custom kernel influence the phone radiation levels ?

For those who going to attack with "WTF? the radio chip is responsible for that you idiot!!", please hold it , the CPU is also responsble for Mhz levels but the kernel is actually controlling the hardware and can change that.

So please, only expert , kindly try to aswer my question.

Thanks! :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] a67543210:
I'm very curious about how the kernel affects the SAR level.

Good question, thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] isotoper:
Someone ???
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
i think the ansswer is no it cannot affect SAR level because every device i have seen, the radio image is closed source, unchangeable. all custom kernels in existence just use th emanufacturer released radio.

and to top that off, SAR ratings and fcc testing is testing radio frequency only of wifi, cellular, and all transmit/receive signals, not cpu emitted radiation. so no i dont thnk custom kernel is in anyway changing SAR levels.

There is this sound coming from camera when toggling between photo and video modes. it sounds like the lens come in contact with the glass cover. when I look at the camera you can see the lens moving forward and back when switching from video to photo vice versa. is this normal?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Absolutely. Lens adjusts itself for different focus, so a sound will come.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
It's "normal" for all OC cameras, haven't heard any other camera versions behaving like that.

SAlmighty, can you humor me and check your camera version ?
[Galaxy S II General] SAlmighty:
Cam FW Ver: OMEF01 i don't see this version on any other thread

used " *#34971539# " (from another thread) to check firmware

is this a new firmware?
[Galaxy S II General] SAlmighty:
camera firmware version OMEF01?

who else has camera firmware version OMEF01 ???

i should create another thread and find out
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Can't say i saw this version before. Would you mind telling us what firmware you have on your phone ? Is it stock/custom 2.3.3/2.3.4 ?
[Galaxy S II General] SAlmighty:
i'm running stock rom 2.3.3

phone firmware version is

TBEC28

Gingerbread KF3
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Did you ever update your camera firmware from Samsung Apps ? Sorry for asking so many questions, but it looks like you have a rare version of cameras and up until now only OC cameras had this noise and autofocus when opening camera, switching from pic/video mode, starting the phone, etc
[Galaxy S II General] holyguyz:
Abnormal, defective part. You need a replacement or repair.

I have 2 unit SGS2. One absolutely with no noise. And the other one with mechanism noise when switching photo/video mode (just like yours), or even occur when activate and closing camera apps. Basically, both with same firmware version.

Update firmware/phone also won't help for me.

Finally, I have decide to sent it for repair. :(
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Do you remember the camera version of your faulty phone ? Keep us informed about the result when getting the phone back. I couldn't encounter any other version of camera doing that, except for OC ones and this rare OM camera version. Considering all OC cameras behave like that, then we must assume all phones with OC cameras are defective, which i doubt.
[Galaxy S II General] holyguyz:
Can't remember. But I can get it from the other SGS2 which was checked exactly the same firmware version with the faulty one. Will update here once i got it.
[Galaxy S II General] SAlmighty:
is there way to check the version history on the phone?

i don't think I ever updated through samsung apps for the camera firmware, only for the apps

does the O make any difference?

the pictures are very crisp but the mechanical sound worries me because i don't know if it is a defect
[Galaxy S II General] SAlmighty:
is the OMEF01 a newer revision of the existing OC cameras?

holyguyz, if you cant remember the firmware version then it really doesn't prove helpful for me to determine if my camera is defect or not

you either had one unit with the OC camera and the other something else
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
I guess you could return your phone and see what they say. If it's faulty they will replace it, if not, i guess this behavior is normal for these types of cameras. I'm interested to find if it's normal or not too, since my OC camera does the same, but i assumed it's normal since every guy with an OC cam has this "problem". Your camera seems to be very rare, i didn't check the whole cam update thread again, but i'm sure i haven't seen anyone reporting having that type of camera.
[Galaxy S II General] holyguyz:
i have already said, i will check on the other SGS2 which was checked to be the same firmware on my faulty one. i will post/update here, once i got it.

btw, i have sent my SGS2 for repair. i'm also quite frustrated of such a problem on the phone. i can't even really use the phone since i bought it a month ago. perhaps i need to wait another month to get my phone fixed and then can officially use the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] biffsmash:
My camera clicks just like this, but otherwise takes pics and vids perfectly, so if it's faulty, it's just the noise that's faulty and not the operation lol :p
[Galaxy S II General] holyguyz:
please make sure you need to disable the audible settings before trying to listen the camera mechanism sound. that's your choice to keep the noise "problems".

in my point of view, if there's a fault like mechanism sound, there's possibility the hardware might fail/die anytime (or not, if u r lucky). i will not keep the faulty phone (like a bomb timer). since still under warranty then just claim it.
[Galaxy S II General] SAlmighty:
im not saying there is a fault with the device, the pictures are amazing, no pink spots or other so called image variances. the 1080p video can be described in one word as, perfect.

since Sp1tfire said this was common in owners that had devices containing ' OC cameras ' and since then have not encountered any serious problem, then this must be normal, but only for all camera models that begin with ' O '
[Galaxy S II General] holyguyz:
i have nothing to say... i'm not blaming anyone here.

sorry, if any nasty post or reponse.

just let it go, wait and hope for the best to come.
[Galaxy S II General] kalairn:
well i'm hearing 2 tiny clicks when switching modes, is this normal?? :-\
[Galaxy S II General] sorrowuk:
Has anyone tried this.

Type in *#34971539# and then press Phone/CAM FW Ver Check.

If you get something like this:

Cam FW : OCEE09

Phone FW: TBEC28

Try clicking "Phone to CAM FW Write"

Then says it say the same thing :

Cam FW : OCEE09

Phone FW: TBEC28

Press Yes and see if it writes the firmware TBEC28 to the camera. See if it still clicks ?
[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
"press yes" ?? I dont get this option...
[Galaxy S II General] hjuo:
I've also got the OMEF01 firmware and my camera "clicks" when activating ex. skype, googles...

I've got a KF3 branded firmware and never done a camera firmware upgrade, I'm not sure if available

Seeing very close to the camera, the noise is made by a piece going back and forth. Apart from activating the noise is also when focusing but only when it's RED, because the lens returns in default position, if you try making a photo you understand better the difference between RED and GREEN. It's difficult to say if it's defective, maybe it's just too strong going back to place. Of course it's also during activating because it test the lens. But not on closing I noted.
[Galaxy S II General] holyguyz:
Exactly! But mine with closing noise. Then how do you explain my other SGS2 unit with no sound/noise when activating, focusing (RED and GREEN thing), and video in Skype, etc? I know most people said that's normal. But it's abnormal and might be kind of defective part for me.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Camera version was different. Only OC and OM cameras behave like that. TB and SC don't.

Sent from out of space using Thuraya 2 satellite !
[Galaxy S II General] holyguyz:
Oh, i see. now i get it. as a conclusion, update to TB and SC FW will fix the problem.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Why do other camera modules generate some clicking noise but others dont, I have an SCEE09 and there is no noise nor movement.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Can't be done, there's only been one report of change from OC to SC, which i doubt is true, cause all the camera updates contain files for all camera versions and phone extracts the matching one. If it's OC than OC will remain, no matter what update you install. It only changes the number from OC009 to OC002 or whatever number the update has.

@Earlz Have no clue why some modules click, but it looks like all OC and OM do that. So i don't think all those cameras are faulty.
[Galaxy S II General] hjuo:
If we can find someone with OC or OM without "click"....

However if I download from the samsung store the fw app, it upgrades immediately or it ask me before and show if there's an update? I'm curios...
[Galaxy S II General] hooligan007:
Hello experts Which app is the,best one for taking pics?
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
SC doesn't click, OC does. But i couldn't find any Samsung owner with an OC camera that doesn't click, i'm still looking for the Holy Grail though :mad: It doesn't get updated automatically. You need to manually download the update and then run it.
[Galaxy S II General] holyguyz:
Hey guyz, finally my SGS2 is back to ROCK!

I just got my 5th replacement unit, because they can't fix the camera mechanism noise and the low mic volume problem. It's defective and nothing can be done.

Cam Fw: SCEE09

Phone Fw: TBEC28

Now my SGS2 has a very clear mic volume on calls and no more camera mechanism noise. Peace of mind. :D
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Lol, obviously they couldn't fix the mechanism noise cause only OC and OM cameras have this noise and i'm almost sure it's default behavior for these type of cameras. Do you remember what camera firmware your previous 4 phones had ?
[Galaxy S II General] holyguyz:
Previous all 4 phones? Nope.

Last one was OC.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Thought so. Only OC cameras had that noise, until the recently new OM cameras which came with the latest SII phones sold on the market. So my assumption is these two types of cameras are not faulty, since every single OC and OM camera acts like that. At least i didn't hear anyone saying his OC or OM camera doesn't autofocus and doesn't click when starting the phone or changing to photo/video mode.
[Galaxy S II General] Riccardo83:
I have OMEF01 camera. French XEF version. Since there is no android 2.3.5 Firmware available for the french version, I updated via Odin to the official, custom rom from Poland:

http://www.android-hilfe.de/origina...aki3-i9100xxki3-i9100xxki3-kies-offiziel.html

After the Firmware upgrade, no more clicking. Except a tiny click when selecting Text Mode.

Red dote persists though. A bit more with the polish version I have the impression.

This would mean, it depends on the Android Rom too ?!
[Galaxy S II General] hjuo:
Mmm, but now is still OMEF01 if you check? If it's real I update
[Galaxy S II General] hjuo:
I've updated to branded KJ1 2.3.5 and the noise disappeared, only a little one when focus goes "red". Everything else ok. and camera fw is same OMEF01. Phone fw is TBEC28, I don't remember if it was the same before.

I've never done a samsung camera fw update
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
So coming to the final conclusion is the OC sound normal? and i suppose FW update is not fixing it entirely...

Cant check now cause as usual phone is at the Service Centre for some screen issues..

QC on S2 is a big failure!
[Galaxy S II General] alangrig:
OMEF01 is the best module camera. I have undergone many tests with different modules, this is one of the best on par with OE modules. All SE, SC have video stuttering under low light conditions, that really drives you nuts. OMEF01 is a free issue camera module, except pink spot, but that doesn't bother me. I had mechanical noise as well being on Android version 2.3.3, but since update above to 2.3.4 or higher, remove all associated mechanical noises. So noise is not the fact of being defective.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanisleguy1976:
Hello,

My Acer Liquid E had a recent battle with gravity and a sidewalk. Sadly, the Liquid was the loser. My carrier has a list of replacement phones that includes the x10, and I was hoping perhaps one of you folks might be able to give me an idea of how the x10 compares. I know, for instance, that the x10 has less ram than the liquid, so I'm a bit worried that I may notice a drop in performance. Is there anyone who may have experience with the liquid who would be able to comment?

Also, how is the build quality? And sound quality? Would you recommend this handset?

Thanks in advance :)
