Right in brief I have a Samsung i5800 and I have temporary rooted the device and then accessed the adb shell and using the command cat /proc/partitions I have the following:

major minor #blocks name

139 0 513024 tfsr0/c

139 1 256 tfsr1

139 2 1280 tfsr2

139 3 512 tfsr3

139 4 8192 tfsr4

139 5 7680 tfsr5

139 6 225280 tfsr6

139 7 207360 tfsr7

139 8 38912 tfsr8

139 9 7168 tfsr9

139 10 16384 tfsr10

179 0 7761920 mmcblk0

179 1 7757824 mmcblk0p1

137 0 513024 bml0/c

137 1 256 bml1

137 2 1280 bml2

137 3 512 bml3

137 4 8192 bml4

137 5 7680 bml5

137 6 225280 bml6

137 7 207360 bml7

137 8 38912 bml8

137 9 7168 bml9

137 10 16384 bml10

138 4 4352 stl4

138 6 217600 stl6

138 7 200192 stl7

138 8 34816 stl8

So here are my queries I am lead to believe and understand that bml (does it stand for Boot Module or similar?) bml1 is the primary bootloader and bml2 is the secondary now can anyone shed any light on the other areas, I know the mmc areas are the multi media card and stl8 seems to be system or similar with stl6 being media on the device.

Now I am looking for the SMS of the device so I can back this area up and at a later date restore it if required. Which of these areas are the SMS stored in and if anyone knows the contacts and the Call Logs?

Second I was wondering does anyone know what these areas all represent for example tfsr1 - tfsr10 and why the tfsr areas are the same size as the bml1 - bml10 areas?

Kind regards,

Chris

Partition mapping got nothing to do with sms backup

FYI stl6 is system, 7-cache n 8-data

Use SMS Backup and Restore from Market (By Ritesh Sahu)

And he also made another app to backup call logs

For contacts

Sync them to ur google account

or open contacts app,press menu and touch import/export
[Galaxy 3 General] Chriss5471:
Thank you for the swift response. Ok so where on the device are the SMS stored I presume they are stored on the NAND chip, the reason I am asking this is I wish to extract them in raw HEX format rather than just backup using an app. As for the Contacts, Calls etc I am not as worried about these areas just interested but as I say for the SMS I was hoping the find a way to extract the HEX in any format where they are stored.

Edit do we think the mirror image called TFSR could be Temporary File System Root?

Thanks again!

What about Applications running in Background ?

I've installed a program called "ZDBox", it's very useful to make you keep tracking of the memory issues, running apps and some other cool controls.

I can see that some apps are still running although I've closed them and even killed them but they come back to run again which is very weird to me...

I surfed the internet and googled some articles talking about this and a conclusion was made that linux-based system like Android (is it really Linux-based ?) isn't affected by such running apps as they aren't really running, they are just on standby...

I'm really confused and just wanted to share this with you so we may all share our experiences in this !!!
[HTC Wildfire S] ipapdev:
I'm also facing smiler kind of problem.please give suggestions..
[HTC Wildfire S] koki-tytnII:
I don't really know, but some articles are saying that it's nothing consumed, but sometimes i can see that more than 100 MB are freed up from memory when i use the "Kill All" option !!!!!!!!

I'm really confused because of this tooo !!!!
[HTC Wildfire S] ravijokhun:
use advanced task killer. It has an auto kill feature (2-10-15 mins..anything you want) and ignore list also. kill levels (safe, aggressive, crazy).

Its a good app to free up running memory
[HTC Wildfire S] koki-tytnII:
Thanks mr. Fido for this but the issue i'm thinking of is it worth to have an automatic killing working in the background ? I mean it is still using extra resources, I think we should look for a method to kill it once and forever....I'll keep searching and will reply here if i find anything interesting, if you came over something useful, I'll be happy to know it as well
[HTC Wildfire S] ravijokhun:
does not use much resources to have an auto task killer
[HTC Wildfire S] forgetablex:
Android start up unfinished processes and I don't see any sense of killing running services. What it gives to you? Makes anything more smooth? No. If any application will need more memory, android will automatically finish old and unused processes. So, what's the sense using task killers? Especially, when they killing processes like market, sms, etc.

my X10 got a bit wet in the rain the other day - I had it in my purse but it was raining so hard it soaked through. The battery did not appear to get wet.The phone died after that. I put it in rice, turned it on, and was relieved it was working.

suddenly turned itself off minutes later. When I tried to turn it back on, it vibrated but nothing happened. I could very faintly see the Sony Ericsson words in the background but the screen was not backlit or anything and it never moved past that in the startup.

Charged the battery - LED light was on. Turned it off overnight and put it back in the rice in case of a little moisture left. Battery showed 31% this morning then phone just turned itself off randomly after screen timeout and when I turned it back on it showed 72%. I can't repair it through SEUS as it says my phone is up to date no matter what I do. Help!

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benny1234:
Hello,

Tough one here...I had a working Verizon Fascinate on eclair, with a bad ESN, and tried to update to stock froyo via ODIN. Windows 7 froze during the flash (SOB), and soon thereafter got a black screen. I've tried to reflash eclair and froyo (phone still shows up in ODIN), but always fails at write. [Complete (write) operation failed.]

Is there any chance or meaningful recovery? Should I repartition or format? At this point looking for any rom or stock software that will work.

Thanks in advance.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
I would think your best Bet is to try a different Odin version...1.3, and 1.7 seem to give the best results...if you can get a com port linked in Odin I would flash ed05, or eb01...either of them with the 2.2pit and repartition checked...it should get you up and running so you can reflash the ROM you really want.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benny1234:

I'm in the UK and had to go to amazon.com (not .co.uk) to sign in, I was then sent an email which lets you download the app. You'll need to do the same yourself.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr1st0f1:
Hello,

I'm a little bit stuck right now.

My phone is rooted, I installed Wolf V6 stock version, and now I managed to unlock my bootloader.

I haven't installed doomkernel yet.

Some questions:

-If I flash doomkernel v5-fs , should I choose loader.sin or kernel.sin @ flashtool?

-Do I first need to install Wolf V6 Custom before I flash doomkernel or otherwise?

-Is doomkernel consuming more battery (v5-fs not overclocked)

-Can I just leave it this way? (V6s, unlocked bootloader, nothing else?) and is this the best choice concerning battery life?

Thanks in advance!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreatBigDog:
Answers.

- Both

- No but you need to make changes to the chargmon file to use doomkernel

- Any overclocking will consume more battery power, just use it sparingly

- Yes - You can test it out by actually just flashing V6c over your current ROM as it uses DoomKernel
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr1st0f1:
About question number 2,

Doomlord mentions this as installation proces:

1.the kernel is now a ftf file so flash using flashtool

2.flash wifi modules using recovery

He doesn't mention anything about a chargemon file ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreatBigDog:
You don't need to change anything with your ROM's chargemon files to install his kernel. But any rom that uses a custom kernel comes with modifications to this file. The modifications cause the main kernel (either stock or dommkernel) to crash and then continue to load the kernel that is included with the ROM.

If you want your ROM to run with doomkernel then the modifications have to be removed so that the phone continues to use it rather than the one included with your rom.

I can't tell you exactly what needs to be done because I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet. If you search the doomkernel thread the answer should be there somewhere
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr1st0f1:
So let me get this straight; I'm using V6stock, stock kernel, unlocked bootloader.

I have following options:

-I flash Doomkernel v5-FS with flashtool on my V6Stock Wolf ROM --> No changes are needed?

-I install V6Custom Wolf ROM (wich contains doom v4) --> No changes are needed?

-I install V6Custom and then flash Doomkernel v5-FS --> Here is were the changes in the chargemon file are needed?

So why would someone choose the third option, as the second one contains a custom kernel(Doomkernel)?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreatBigDog:
Faster boot because you're only loading the kernel once. XRecovery is built into the kernel so if you get a bad Rom flash you won't loose access to it and have to start over with flashtool.

Since I'm not a flashaholic and I may reboot my phone once a week, I've not bothered to unlock my bootloader to install the custom kernel.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aR_ChRiS:
Just flash any choice of DooM's kernels then flash wolf's stock version of v06.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harissanja:
Plus on dooms v5 it has a dual recovery, xrec and cwr, and battery is prety good for me... you can try and always move back if you don't like it...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kr1st0f1:
And what if i go back stock with seus? Is my bootloader locked again in that case?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreatBigDog:
Nope, it'll still be unlocked.

I believe its speaker hardware along with the equalizer. And that means jack **** when you're using the headphone output.

And seriously, Beats are horrible and overpriced and you can get sound quality as good or better for 1/3 of the prices. We're not repeating the sentence for nothing, we know what we're talking about because some of us actually spend $500 and above just for headphones instead of ****ting it down on Beats.

Again, I point out the SGS2 audio output is garbage. I know you didn't buy the good headphones primarily to use with this (or any) phone.
