Hi!

I read how to make Data2System rom. (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14047481&postcount=14)

I try it and it works so good. I wrote a script which do that steps automatically. There is one more difference. Now the script don't flash your rom, just transform the selected nandroid backup. So you don't lose any of your data.

1. Download this zip, and unpack it to your linux running computer.

2. Backup your rom in recovery, and copy the folder (clockworkmod/backup/<yourbackup>) from your phone to the directory where you unpacked the zip.

3. Rename in data2system <yourbackup> folder to <yournewbackup>. Take care <yournewbackup> don't contain spaces.

4. Open a terminal, and type cd <the unpacked folder> (e.g. /home/user/data2system).

5. Type ./data2system <yournewbackup>, check the output in terminal. It should be something like this:

Extract boot.img

806 blocks

Command line: mem=214M console=ttyMSM2,115200n8 androidboot.hardware=swift

End extract boot.img

Change boot configuration

Pack boot-new.img

Resize boot-new.img

Boot image prepared

System and data images replaced
​

If you get any errors, try this tutorial again!

6. Done, copy back, and you can make a restore :P
​

It works if:

you have a nandroid backup

your system.img is not bigger than your data partition on your phone

Download zip here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18578045/Data2system.zip

If you do it again with the changed backup in practice you'll get your original backup.
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
Awesome. Gonna try this out.
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
This doesn't work!!

did you even try it yourself??

i followed everything carefully

data2system is not a recongised command
[GT540 Optimus General] vkrissz:
Because you have to type ./data2system <the name of the folder> and not .\data...

AND check that on your computer is running LINUX
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
i did that and how do i check if i have linux?

how do i install it?

i am windows 7
[GT540 Optimus General] vkrissz:
Linux is a kind if OS. :D

Did you heard about Google? You can find for example how to install Ubuntu. Ubuntu is just one of linux OSs. You can run it in virtual machine, or just boot from live cd, or install instead of windows, or install to another partition beside the windows.
[GT540 Optimus General] delsus:
I dont wanna be rude, but I have to ask is this serious?
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
yes i am being serious!! ;)

I know a little about android and computers!! :)
[GT540 Optimus General] delsus:
Well Linux is an open source operating system, there are alot of differant distributions of it, (infact Android is based on Linux) you can download most distributions of it free, a few are Ubuntu (which I have in a VM) Fedora, Back Track and Red Hat (paid).

It is recommended to either dual boot your PC or run Linux in a virtual machine because program compatibility isnt great with it although you can use emulators to run programs like wine.

The switch from Windows to Linux isnt easy though especially if your not great with computers because there is so much differant.

Here is a download link for ubuntu and VMWare player (both free) for you to try out, and the data2system method in this post will work.

http://www.ubuntu.com/download

http://www.filehippo.com/download_vmware_player/

PM me if you need instructions to install and run them :)
[GT540 Optimus General] androidboss7:
thanks bro!!

but i think this is a bit too complicated for me!

but i have 1 question!

if i use mur4iks bootloader to resize my partitions like this (or whatever)

150 system partition and 234 data partition

is that still like data2system??
[GT540 Optimus General] vdanika:
Its 2 different things. When you change bootloader it really resize your partitions. It take effect until you change it again.

This script (Data2system) only change one of your nandroid backups. So when you flash a new rom, or restore one of your elder backups the system partition will be the original partition. Its safer then change the bootloader, but it take effect only for one backup.

For you: if your data partition size is 234 and your system is 150 (because you change your bootloader) and then you do Data2system. On that rom you will have only 150 data.

Data2system is for someone, who need more space, but don't want to resize partitions or change bootloader.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ever_Ready:
Rebooted my phone last night after making a few changes in the CM settings in EB and the lockscreen no longer accepted the PIN I had set. Anyone know how to get around this without doing a full wipe and reinstall? I had some pics and vids of that I took just recently that I want to be sure to save so I would like to avoid a full wipe and reinstall, unless someone can tell me that EB saves pics and vids to my external SD card by default.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Eaglesblood saves pics in the /sdcard/_ExternalSD/DCIM so it should be on your external sd. Just to make sure, put your sd card in your computer and see. If you dont have an adapter, put the sd in another phone and check with a file manager like astro.

[Motorola Photon 4G] ImOnMyMobilePhone:
Had a bender last night and just found my phone with 40% battery life. When I checked the battery usage graph it says it's been on battery for 17 hours, wow. This phone is awesome.

But, do I need to drain the battery to zero now and then or anything else to keep my battery in good health?
[Motorola Photon 4G] iLLa:
i dont think lithium ion really needs to be fully drained. i know that, u should never keep it drained for long periods of time because that will kill the battery. the phone has to go through a few charge cycles to get used to things. it adjusts certain settings on its own.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
The way I usually fly mine is to charge it to 100% and once it hits 15% I charge. And that has done really good for me not destroying my battery. But I guess it's different for everyone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] fester30:
Rechargable batteries these days generally have a lifespan beyond the length of time you'll actually use your phone. For purposes of longer charges, it does help to charge, reset stats, drain, then charge and reset stats again, although the phone will sort of self-calibrate over the course of a couple weeks. If you're worried about lifespan of the battery, you shouldn't have to replace it before you're ready for an upgrade unless the battery itself has a defect.

I wanted to install freedom kernal on synergy rls1 but don't know how to go about it or which kernal would work best, any help is appreciated. Last time I tried to install, I ended up completely wiping everything from my phone accidently
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evocm7:
Freedom kernel worked very will for me on synergy when I was using it. Just search for it here on xda, download (i downloaded the aggressive universal which is undervolted -175mv.) The synergy nightly kernel did not work for me, caused wifi to error when turning on. Anyway download, reboot into recovery> wipe cache and dalvik(but not data)>flash zip from sd> download folder (where all your downloads go) and just flash it. Reboot and enjoy. Surprisingly, synergy gets pretty good battery life with this undervolted kernel since not only is this a sense rom obviously, it is a sense 2.1+ 3.0. Good luck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evocm7:
Just don't wipe data/ factory reset
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SketchyStunts:
Download either the universal freedom, more freedom, or aggressive freedom, put on root of SD card, boot into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik cache, flash kernel.

Personally, i like aggressive freedom

Can and should I use setcpu in conjunction with the kernal. If so what are the recommended settings
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve97ta:
Yes and depends on what u want out of ur phone. I would Google setcpu and read up on it though. If you've never over or under clocked its best to educate before.

http://www.setcpu.com/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
Download the kernel (I use Aggressive, depends on how low voltage the phone can handle). Put on the root of your SD card. Boot into recovery. Wiipe cache and dalvik twice. Navigate to "Mounts" and mount data. Navigate to "Flash Zips" and find the kernel. Select with power button. Reboot.

Download SetCPU or No Frills CPU (If you haven't purchased SetCPU then dowload No Frills, it is free and has a simple interface).

Do not use profiles. I suggest Interactive X. My min-max CPU is 245 - 820. Interactive X drops the CPU down to 245 mHZ when screen is off and manages the CPU well when the screen is on
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve97ta:
You don't have to mount data on Synergy...thats only for the sense 3.5 roms
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evocm7:
I used no frills cpu control. Its free in the market and worked well for me. Too bad it wasnt there when I bought setcpu. At least it was only $1. Aggressive freedom is the way to go
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
Heard that some people had to do it for Xplod, at least in its earlier stages. I do it every time now I flash a kernel, just to prevent any possible issues

I'm sorry if this offends you (ghettovirtuoso), but seriously? If you listened to the video at all when you registered, you would know how to look for these answers on your own. Especially "Should I use an overclock app", "if i'm trying to overclock"? What? First, if you didn't already know this, you shouldn't be doing this! You should do A LOT MORE research before you even ask a single question! Second, be careful not to brick your phone! That's the rough it sounds like your going! It is really unfortunate how many people just want things handed to them without putting anything in themselves! DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH FIRST, A LOT OF RESEARCH! YOU CAN FIND THE ANSWER TO 99.9999% of your questions here already! also if you don't find your answer, use different search terms, or learn correct definitions for word you are using.

Finally lets get to some real development!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitallysick:
For some reason the galaxy s2 is only on Edge, i never see 3g or the H

The baseband is galaxy s2 baseband I9100XXKH3

Is this the problem? i know i should have 3g in my area but when i check "about" it only shows edge

Whats wrong with the phone?

Thanks for anyone that can help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Two things to check would be to see if your provider supports the 3G band that the phone supports and also to see if your Wireless Network settings are set properly. You can choose auto to select both bands or select GSM only.

Then, try changing radios.

If your sim is old get a new one. Just ask your carrier you should get one for free. The old sims don't support UMTS.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] coluichepensa:
good afternoon,

I'm going to install a new stock rom on my ace.

Which kind of back up I have to do before?

the total one - user apps + system data or just the user apps?

thanks for your help
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
I do a full backup most of the time
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
For me because I switch roms I only select the user apps that I use across all roms.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Baracs:
user apps and data - unless your sticking with the same mod - then apps+sys and data.

Also suggest you freeze market updater unless you like the new market:p

I suggest you read the manual first because TB does a LOT more than backup:D a hell of a lot more :D:D:D

TB only works once a rom is installed - if you want to restore a rom complete after a system failure install clockworkmod 4.0.0.9 then chainfires CWM and create a nandroid back and place it on the SD. Then if something bad happens goto recovery and restore the nandroid backup from the SD.

Have fun.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] coluichepensa:
is there a detailed guide on how to make a nandroid back?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] domnic79:
Go to clockworkmod recovery->backup and restore->Backup.

It will approx tk 5mins.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] genothampi:
Guys as you know, Xperia neo's brightness (maximum) is very low compared to ARc or even X10 mini pro. My mini pro at 50% is equal to the 100% brightness of my Neo. Is there any trick or hack or whatever it is to increase the brightness above 100%? Something to override the maximum brightness? The screen is annoying under the factory set max brightness as the white colored pages look yellowish.

Is there some way to increase the brightness beyond the factory settings?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] taaviu:
"SuperDIM"
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
SuperDIM only lets the brightness go below the minimum, not higher than the maximum on stock.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] machhho:
I agree with genothampi ,the brightness in NEO V is very low compared to my X10 , there should be a way to increase the brightness higher than the maximum on stock or maybe the devs find a solution for that .

happy new year to every one
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Qwerty123 \m/:
The MIUI ROM apparently does increase the brightness upto a crazy amount xD

Try it :

Should be ported to Stock :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] darkkinder:
you use the light sensor of the phone? on my xperia neo I have disabled the sensor light (root+Disable Auto Brightness PLAY) and now the screen is beautiful, too bright. the Brightness options (in display) I have put in 60%, and still bright :D

sorry for the english
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
If you use the latest s.e tweaked Rom it has the light sensor disabled by default and lets you set the brightness all the way up its too bright now just The way most of us like it :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] MaxMedia:
Try Disable Auto Brightness
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LenAsh:
Not good for battery life
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] machhho:
Can you please tell us how to disable the sensor lignt on my Rooted Neo V .

thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] darkkinder:
first I have modified the file hw_config.sh using root explorer, but I don't liked, because when I turn on the phone in a dark place the screen was dark, then I had to turn on the phone always in a bright place

now I use a app, Disable Auto Brightness (PLAY) and works perfect now, when I turn on my xperia neo the app disable the sensor light and the screen stay maximum brightness :)

anything, just ask.

sorry for my English
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] machhho:
Thanks alot man , that app made a big difference
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] machhho:
I have already fixed the brightness on my rooted Neo V using the app ( disable auto brightness ) but my question to you is , would you port the hw_config.sh from the s.e tweaked Rom since you are saying that the light sensor disabled by default , so this way we can apply that to the ROM and no need to install the ( disable auto brightness ) .

thanks in advance
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] skyboyextreme:
I'm not the dev of s.e tweaked, try to contact festa20 :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:
Disable Auto Brightness Xperia
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pawo99:
or you can try disable sensor for free with method used in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1426948

I have bought Hatcyl's app but I like more this free method, because it has lower minumum brightness which is important if you want good battery life.

Hello everyone,

I've experienced some problems with the built-in email app since the update..

Ive got it configured with 2 exchange accounts (private and corporate), and the problem is basically inbox sync.

If i, on my pc or webmail, mark as mail as read/unread, move it, delete it, whatever - it gets synced to the servers np, and to the Enhanced Email app(installed to test) - But the built-in from HTC does not see the updates, my inbox gets new mail, but the existing mails is not synced to other folders or marked/deleted.

Anyone else experienced this? And maybe got a fix?

Best Regards,
[HTC Desire S] flyescke:
Similar problem

I've had a similar problem, the exchange accounts could not connect to the server.

So I removed them, deleted the settings for the Mail app and reconfigured everything.

A factory reset would probably solve this to.
