[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KunalAggarwal92:
Thanks for the reply, first of all.

I came across this thread before.

See I know this is the basic procedure, go into xRecovery -> full wipe -> install custom zip from sdcard -> reboot.. This is right, right?

So as I said above, main concern is the Google Apps, for which the package I just found for CyanogenMod 7. How to install that, is there a option in xRecovery to do so?

Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is normal behavior for Android, but it was annoying the hell out of me that the internal memory was mounting to /mnt/sdcard. At first I figured this was just because I didn't have an actual sd card. Then I got one, and it got mounted to /mnt/emmc. From what i read about other devices this seems backwards? I couldn't get some apps to use the emmc storage.

What I finally did was copy all my data from internal storage to the sdcard and then swapped the two mount points in /system/etc/vold.fstab. Everything seems to have gone better than expected. I now see my 32gb microsd as the SDCARD in Storage and the 11gb internal storage shows up as additional storage. Is there any problem with doing this? I'm still not entirely clear on where /mnt/sdcard/external_sd fits into this.

Here is my vold.fstab after I edited it.

# internal sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/emmc 11 /devices/platform/s3c-mshci.0/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0

# external sdcard
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1

# USB storage device
dev_mount usbdisk /mnt/usbdisk auto /devices/platform/s3c_otghcd/usb
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
The INTERNAL SDCARD is your BUILT IN MEMORY and SHOULD BE listed as mnt/sdcard. This should be your 11Gb internal memory.

The EXTERNAL SDCARD should be listed as mnt/emmc. This should be the REMOVABLE sd card from the battery compartment.

Not sure but I would guess that you MAY HAVE ISSUES with your setup. With HOW you listed emmc I can see your on cm7. In cm7 there is a setting to change the names/location of your cards. Since you had problems I am guessing it is/was reading backwards from the get go. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] style26062:
Thanks for the reply. I guess it was working as intended from the beginning. I haven't had any problems with this while in cm7, but one of my objectives was to get cwm to use the external sdcard for backups. Of course my change had no effect what so ever on where cwm is looking for the backup folder. I'm rolling back my change with my tail between my legs. I wasn't able to find the option in CM7 you spoke of.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tboooe:
This is an annoying problem. I have not been able to find any system info widgets that can display the memory status of the ext_sd folder (external sd card). Its even more confusing because the internal "sd card" is also referred to as usb storage while the ext_sd is referred to as SD Card on some screens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
To see if the button is ticked got to MENU, SETTINGS, CHANOGENMOD SETTINGS,APPLICATION,USE INTERNAL STORAGE

If while your at normal settings if you put them back already and it is ticked in the box, then untick it and reboot. If it is not ticked then tick the box and reboot and see if that fixes it. If your still backwards then AGAIN untick it and reboot. Sometimes settings can look correct but be kind of stuck until you toggle it. Just throwing it out how I would check out if I had your issue. Hope it helps

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mbze430:
actually you could have done that all in the Cyanogen setting's. I had mine set that the /mnt/sdcard was my actual SDCARD... problem became that everything was being installed to my SDcard. I prefer my SDcard as my music/picture/movie storage.

if you are using CM7.1 it's in Setting -> Cyanogen Settings - > Application

The one you wanna change is Use Internal Storage checkmark if you want to change
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] style26062:
Yes, That's what RockRatt said above. It works perfectly. Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MajinJoko:
Good morning,

I think that somehow this thread could be related to:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1304192

but I have a different main question.

Where Android store files? Or, to be clearer, what kind of files are saved on the:

- internal flash (is it a flash? am I right?)

- internal sd

- external sd

The clockworkmod backup what really back up? only the internal flash?

If I'd want to change the rom I use on my lg 2x, from djdroid based on froyo to cyanogenmod based on gingerbread, what if I:

- choose all the 3 swipes from recovery

- format the internal sd card (is it really needed?)

And, most important, if I'd like to completely restore the previous situation (that is, not only the rom, but the settings and data..), is it right the procedure:

- choose all the 3 swipes from recovery

- format the internal sd card

- restore a previous backup with recovery

- restore the content of the internal sd card using a previous backup on my pc (is it really needed?)

Thank you very much, any help or clarification would be really appreciated.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
E.g. Galaxy S 2

-internal storage (store system file)

-internal sd (store music)

-external sd (extend to stores music files)

I am using a phone without external SD. What I know is internal storage is storing system file, e.g. apps, data, system, that similar to windows system32 folder.

When you are using clockworkmod backup, normally those backup are stored in sd (external if available). For my situation, it is being stored in internal.

Clockworkmod backup EVERYTHING in your internal storage (not sd), form data, game, cache, or anything in system.

If you are going to restore, it will ONLY restore internal storage and not internal SD.

If you wanted to confirm where those backup clockworkmod files are store in, just go into any file explorer and check ClockWorkMod/backup/(folder with date).

Hey. I want to but the galaxy tab, but before that I want to ask a few questions:

First, I noticed to many videos in youtube that shows a problem in the tab's screen. Oil leak from the screen. I saw that there are many videos like it so it's no a local problem. Should I need to worry?

Second, I want the tablet to replace my main computer. The only thing I'm doing in the computer is surfing the web. Sometimes I need word, office and such things... Can the tablet offer me a good, fast and responsive browser like, let's say, google chrome ?

Thank you !

[G1 General] meso100:
I have bricked my G1 by following the below "guide"!

1. Loading the original SPL (Original SPL Download)

2. Downgrading your phone to RC29 ( Download Dream RC29 )

Before we start:

Check you have the downloaded files (SPL and RC29 files)

Check that your battery is fully loaded

Let’s start: First Part:

1. The SPL you downloaded, rename it to update.zip (If not already the name of the file)

2. Copy the file to the Root of your SD card.

3. Reboot the phone into recovery mode (This is done by “Power + Home” for several seconds)

If you have Amon-Ra Recovery, use the 3 option in the menu to flash the update.zip file

You can also update using “ALT+S“, and it will also update the update.zip file.

Second part:

1. Unzip the DREAMIMG-RC29 you downloaded before, “DREAIMG.nbh” (This is case sensitive, so respect the case in the file name”).

2. Copy the File to the root of your SD card

3. Turn off your phone

4. Turn on the phone into boot loader mode by pressing “Power + Camera” for several seconds.

5. After it’s up, hit power button to start the update.

6. After the upgrade is finish, restart your phone.

Here is what I did:

I downloaded both files put them at the same time on my sdcard and renamed the SPL file update.zip

I then went into clockworkmod recovery and applied sdcard update.

When this was installed I rebooted and then an android and a white box with a yellow arrow appeared.

The G1 then went into a boot loop and was stuck on the T-Mobile screen.

Rebooting into the bootloader is different now too, there seems to be no image.

Is this phone now ready to be binned? :(

Pic of boot loader screen
[G1 General] gee one:
hhhmmm.... it could be several things- The good news is that it looks like you are back to the stock hboot. ;)

It looks like you are in Europe, so I think there is a slightly different version of the DREAMG.nbh file for the European G1. I think it's RC7, but I've never flashed it. If you have a US G1, then this probably doesn't apply.

http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/G1/DREAMIMG-RC7.zip

Here's the MD5 hash for the nbh file itself, not the zip. I calculated this from my version, since the original hash is buried somewhere on XDA.

MD5(DREAIMG.NBH)= 2f02dd9a3b7c7f2fe058047b9c7a0245
[G1 General] meso100:
Oh, I hope thats good news!?!

I have downloaded the Rc7 file and put on the sd card.

What now?

Do I need to rename the file? Do a special boot sequence?

I have tried to flash the file via CWM but there is no change.

Thanks for your help
[G1 General] gee one:
The RC7 file contains the DREAMIMG.nbh file. You should unzip it and verify the md5 hash, then place the DREAMIMG.nbh file on the root of the SD card and follow the "second part" from your guide.

I'm not sure if the NBH vs nbh will matter, but give it a try.
[G1 General] meso100:
You Sir are a genius!!

Thank you so much for your help!

I put the RC7 file onto my SDcard (after opening up the zip folder and copying over the DREAMIMG.NBH file).

Next I rebooted to the red green and blue bootloader screen (powered off and then pressed power on and camera button together - HOLD). The image was then recognised by the G1 and it loaded up the progress bar. After installation was complete I pressed the trackball and then removed the battery and powered up the G1 one).

As the phone was previously unlocked from T-Mobile and I am on the Vodafone UK network I had to add the below APN settings before being able to sign into the Google Servers and thus use the phone.

Awesome! I'm glad it worked out and another G1 was spared from the trash bin.
[G1 General] meso100:
So chuffed, you have spared the G1 from the trash can!

I might keep it as standard now after all this agro!

I bought the G1 to basically add to a collection and it wont be used much.

In your personal opinion, is it necessary to root the G1 or is standard sufficient?

Also, I notice I am now back to firmware 1.0, what is the latest stock firmware for this phone and how easy is it to install?

Forgive me, my G1 knowledge is poor! ;)
[G1 General] gee one:
As far as stock or rooted, it depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to turn it into a mobile hotspot, I think you would have to root. I just keep mine around for flashing and testing android stuff and a backup phone.

I think there are OTA files that will take it to cupcake (1.5) or donut (1.6), although I'm not sure if they will work with the UK version? It's been so long that I'd have to think about how to flash the OTAs. You might have to dig into the archives of xda to find them, but watch out for the US/UK.

The custom roms are up to gingerbread, but I haven't tried those on my G1 so I can't speak to that.

You could make a rooted stock rom...
[G1 General] meso100:
I am going to keep it stock for the time being.

I have just tried to get 1.6 Donut but I have to have 1.5 Cupcake on the G1 before I do.

I am now running 1.5 Cupcake but when I try and apply the update.zip for 1.6 Donut I get the below error.

Have you seen this before?
[G1 General] gee one:
The 1.6 donut upgrade has a few things it checks to make sure it's not being flashed over the wrong rom since it just patches the existing rom. It's very strict, and in your case, it looks like you are applying a US donut over a UK cupcake, although it's hard to tell from just that bit.

You might get more info if you can pull the recovery log. If you are rooted, it should be in /cache/recovery/log or last_log. You can compare it to your ro.build.fingerprint in your system/build.prop file. My guess is all the "tmobile" are "tmuk" and the "kila" are "kila_uk". In which case, you'll need to find the uk donut OTA. You might be able to flash a complete US donut rom, but I don't know what the differences are between US/UK.

[G1 General] meso100:
Ok, well that didn't last long.

[Defy General] Shrewdy:
Hi,

I am facing this rather weird problem with my motorola defy.

A brief history: I live in India and I got my phone packed with Eclair and then i updated it to Froyo.

After that I rooted my defy and then installed MIUI Gingerbread.

But then again I started missing Blur and so I flashed a UK Motoblur rom on my Defy...

But since then the Camera is not working properly.

Actual Problem:

The camera application works fine. I mean it captures pictures and videos just as it should, but i see a black screen while doing so.

I start my camera application and its a black screen so is the case with camcoder.

I have attached a screen shot of my camera application to give you a better understanding of my problem...

I cant even watch youtube videos on my cell coz that too (videos) play with a black screen.

I dont understand what is the problem. I tried clearing the Camera application cache...but it does not help.

Is there anyone who can make me understand what is wrong with my phone.

Thanks

Here you can see what i mean:

And i've got another app which might be of more or less public interest to mod: the stock sony launcher..you all kinda know that if you go into the overview mode the widgets are jumping around wildly, even if you are not shaking the phone..that's some point which could be improved, but i actually don't have a plan how we could do this..so we would have to brainstorm..
