Defeating the purpose. The reason why we need to mount to the sdcard is to get extra disk space. I am using this method to trick the system thinks that it have a very huge space and eventually all from the external sdcard partition.

The /dev/obb... is just a tmpfs. Try to do a mount command to get the output then you will get a clearer picture on this. For my case, is /mnt/obb and just a tmpfs which is useless.

tmpfs is a temporary file system where it will be gone after power off.

Hi,

Where can i get this XTC Clip to S-OFF??
[HTC Salsa] englebert.lai:
Read my Facebook page on the last second post.
[HTC Salsa] englebert.lai:
Below images are the screenshots from my HTC Salsa.

The above image is after the /data remounted to my sdcard. Originally was 150MB and now is 4GB.

After I had installed many apps I am still having lots of space.
[HTC Salsa] englebert.lai:
I had simplified the process:

What I am intend to do is to extend the /data (internal memory) to sdcard.

1. Install Busybox.

2. Install Sudo Checker and all the sudo tools.

3. Once this done, we will need to partition the sdcard. Please be making sure all the data are backup. I am not going to be responsible on that :P

4. Use the hardware method by pressing the volume down and power button to enter the recovery mode or using the adb command "adb reboot recovery".

5. Use the recovery tool and backup the existing working image to the sdcard before proceeding next step. It will be useful to have the recovery image in hand. You will never know when you going to make the mistakes.

6. Once done, lets proceed with the adb command on the linux / windows terminal.

7. Before we start lets prepare some simple shell scripting. What we are trying to do here is to create a file and replaces the existing htcfs on the /system/bin/htcfs. I am not sure what is the use of mounting this htcfs on /data/htcfs and is empty. But I will put back this to my script in future. What I had done was move the original htcfs to htcfs.original and put my version of htcfs which it will auto starts every power off or reboot. Below are the codes:

Filename: htcfs

#!/system/bin/sh

/system/xbin/busybox mount -t ext2 /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data

/system/bin/htcfs.original $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6

8. Now lets rename the original htcfs in the phone before we copy our version into the phone. At the same time we do partitioning on the SDcard.

# adb shell

# mount -a

# cd /system/bin/

# busybox cp htcfs htcfs.original

# exit

# adb push htcfs /system/bin/

# adb shell

# cd /system/bin

# chmod 755 htcfs

# chown root.shell htcfs

# fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0

# mkfs.ext2 -m 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

# mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext

# cd /data

# busybox cp -a . /sd-ext

# sync

# cd /

# umount /sd-ext /sdcard /data /system

# exit

# adb reboot

The above steps are creating an EXT2 partition on the SDCard. My version I created a 1.5G as my /data space.

So, basically the htcfs is mounting the /data from my sdcard on every reboot before all the applications start up. There is a step to copy all existing /data to the sd-ext and that is the trick to make the phone thinks that is using the internal memory and we have no longer facing insufficient disk space on cheaper android phones or on some branded HTC phones with little amount of internal disk.

Remember, the above steps are only for rooted phones. My phone until now still working great and with 4GB internal memory (mounted from SDCard as ext3).

I am working on a Linux Terminal for the above steps.

[HTC Salsa] cLeAv0:
Can this work on HTC Chacha?
[HTC Salsa] englebert.lai:
Honestly speaking, I am not sure on that. As long as it have the htcfs then you can modify it and use the script.
[HTC Salsa] cLeAv0:
Well it does have the htcfs too, but it doesn't work already on this part:

Probably this is the wrong forum to ask for this. So can i have your permission to post this on the HTC Chacha section? So we can solve it there. :)

Guys,

I was planning to buy this phone, but ppl are complaining everywhere about the low internal memory, which restricts you to max 10 apps installed in the phone.. Is it true? I feel that if your smartphone doesnt allow you to install good apps, then it isnt so smart ;)

Does all this tricks of rooting the phone n all helps saving internal memory ?? I would really luv to hear from sum1 who has been using this phone since quite long and is a good technical freak.

because of this low internal memory, I was diverting interest onto Galaxy ACE. But then ACE has just 256 MB RAM. dunno if there is any low memory pblm as such in that phone ..

please suggest ppl. Thanks

[HTC Salsa] guest0123:
Can anyone please mention the process to reverse this data partition thing? like going back to original?
[HTC Salsa] Scurvy76:
Just curious, is it better to use an App to move apps to the SD card, or just use the built in App manager. I'm running the HK ROM and after removing bloat still only have 16M left on internal. I have all "my" apps on the SD card, is the Apps manager just really bad at managing Apps?? I would have thought I'd have more space available? I'm thinking maybe I have some rogue files from the original ROM still trapped on the internal??

[HTC Salsa] Godinhell:
can we do this on win 7 or it is for linux only?
[HTC Salsa] bdutzz:
can someone describe how this method differ from the method used here?

i'm having a problem with this method, which terminal emulator running smoothly on internal /data partition but it force closed on /data ext3 mmc mounted partition, some other application behaved like this too, like angry birds, but some other new installed apps running well.

the other is teamviewer and pocket legends, automatically installed to SD (fat32) and cannot be moved to phone (ext3 mmc) which failed to move "There's not enough storage left." but my internal storage showed 390MB used 1,2GB free

anyone else having this problem other than me?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
this way is unstable....ive tried it and i didnt get it working right....the otehr way is what were all using! its stable, fast, reliable and when you have 1gb ext3 partition you get to use 95% of it..not the other way around.

my suggestion is...stay away from this post and see kandeds post.
[HTC Salsa] bdutzz:
thanks buddy,

i can't confirm that this way really don't work but,

i've changed to the other method, and it works fine all now, and i'm happy with it, the drawback is that i need to reinstall all my applications from scratch and set up all again.

notes: using other method and restore my backed-up sd-ext from this method give me same error, so don't know if using this method from scratch will work coz, i don't try it, but may works

I had also another newer way which uses the link2sd and some new method which is more stable and faster.

I had been using this method and also tested with another HTC phone - HTC WildFire S which is working flawlessly.

First of all you need to be very experience in Linux then you will be able to follow the hack. I had done it to many devices with this method too.
[HTC Salsa] englebert.lai:
Anyone needs a video on the whole process of rooting the phone? If yes, then I will try to made one and helps everyone. I am very positive on this method as it is really working on mine and a few of the androids phone that suffer from memory issue. Once you learn this method, you can also use another method which is mount on mount. That method is mounting the ext2 partition over fat32.

Increase internal memory

Hey everyone. A query from an android noob.

I rooted my fone recently and created a 1gb partition on my SD card. (Ext2)

Then i used link2sd and made this partition as the default download location. And indeed, it worked. Internal memory went from 160 mb to 160mb +1gb. Atleast on paper. But when i carefully observe, i see that on downloading an app there is a slight increase used up internal memory (the original one of 160 mb).

Is it coz all my apps go by default on SD card (due to some work i saw and followed from the net before rooting). Then i link them manually using link2sd???

I knw i sound confusing :(
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
lol you sound confused.

Ok here's how it goes.

Link2sd creates a false sense of hope by saying it gives you increased memory, it doesn't It moves a portion of the app you have installed to the ext2 partition but not all of it. Data and dalvik still remains on the original internal part, which is pointless. I know you have the option to move it but it still does not work. Take for example. Facebook. Huge size. so lets move it via link2sd, you move it...says its moved. so u carry on for a week, all of a sudden your internal is dropping again. Why? Facebook will not move its data to the ext2 partition, but the the main app is. So all link2sd is really is a partial mover. like moving an app 2 the SD.

If you are a noob, which somehow your i think not...you have root etc already i'd suggest using data2sd to Actually increase your memory.

so no 160mb(150mb)+1gb Internal it will say 1.1Gb Internal-FACT!

*Note, to use data2sd you require an unlocked bootloader/S-OFF and a recovery installed*

My recommendation is to swap your EXT2 for EXT3 using mini tool partition wizard only, or follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1565898 don't bend the rules on size on ext3 either, this will affect your rom if your oversized!

Hey guys,

i have a very very big problem.

The X10i of my girlfriend restarts randomly the last weeks, so i decided to flash the new firmware using "Sony Ericsson PC Companion" (Germany).

So far no problems, i connected and updated the firmware, SEUS said "done, please disconnect and restart" and now the touchscreen is functionally only for about 5 - 10 seconds.

After this i can't press anything except the hard keys.

If I do nothing, the phone restarts.

I've already done the firmware update twice but no difference.

Can anybode help me?!

Thanks

-----------------

edit2:

Problem still there.

Sometimes I can use the touchscreen for a short period of time, but after a while there ist still the problem from the beginning.

edit:

I've just used the Flash Tool to downgrade and upgrade the kernel.

Now it seems that there are no problems anymore.

I hope so.

Flashing/Installing Miui 1.9.16 language pack

Thank you guys,

after rebooting the phone several times there isn't any problem with the touchscreen anymore.

I don't know what the problem was and if it will get back.

Maybe I will try your suggestion x10 2.2 user.

Now I have another question:

I've flashed a miui 1.9.16 rom and it's working like a charm.

But I can't using the language pack by saandur to change the rom language to german (my girlfriend isn't very familiar to the english language), I've tried all possible combinations of wiping the cache partition and dalvik cache before and after flashing.

My process was:

Stock 2.3.3. Android rom

-> used Flashtool to get root access

-> used Flashtool to install xRecovery

-> installed miui 1.9.16 rom using xRecovery

-> rebooted

-> wiped dalvik cache

-> flashed language pack

-> reboot

But in the settings I can only choose between english and chinese.

Any suggestions?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoMatt:
Just wanted to share my experience with using Samsung.com for support.

I realize there is a sticky for Los issues and how to contact both Sprint and Samsung. If you are experiencing LOS issues, follow instructions in the sticky.

However, I get the impression Samsung has much more invested in the success of this phone than Sprint. So, if you have the time, go to Samsung.com, register your device and contact their tech support.

I recently contacted Samsung on their website via chat to ask about a WiFi connectivity problem (I think it's a problem with my router, but who knows) and they were very helpful and thorough.

I also contacted Sprint prior to this and the best they could offer was "pull the battery and reboot, this fixes a LOT of problems" (they were clueless). They seem to deal with myriad devices and don't really have the time or resources to effectively troubleshoot every individual device. I did not ask to speak with advanced support, but she didn't offer either. Again, I don't think they care nearly as much as Samsung does.

So, long story short: if you have an extra few minutes and want to pursue another avenue of support, try Samsung.com. You might have to chat with a Korean guy named Frank, but he'll be a lot more helpful than Sprint has been.

[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
fastboot should be a single binary and is generally kept along with the adb binary in the android-sdk directory.

the htcdev instructions rely on the user being able to locate their fastboot binary and being able to execute the fastboot binary themselves. also, the htcdev method does give directions on the type of syntax to provide when executing the fastboot binary.

hope the clarifcation helps!

With hboot 012, you can't s-off, you only unlock bootloader by htc dev, install the recovery and root. If you want s-off, you must downgrade hboot from 012 to 007. You can search in forum to do it. Good luck
