Notification Lights

Hello guys,

Does anybody uses an app for the notification lights? As our phone doesn´t brings one, has anybody found a solution?

I saw some Apps but none convince me, only BLN, but it needs a rooted phone, and some kernel things, which ours is not supported, may be someone can explain me what it means...

Thanks in advance...

Hi, I am also planning to buy this phone when it launches in India, mean while i heard the call quality of this phone is worst, can you please confirm. also the Pros and Cons you found on this phone.

Meanwhile i have also made a request in the forum for the Custom Rom.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] eriksp:
Samsung Galaxy W I8150

Swap (remap) Internal SD with External SD. To do this you need to replace (or manually edit) /etc/vold.fstab with attached one.

DISCLAIMER: Usual stuff. Do it at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage or data loss it may cause.

You may loose applications that have been moved to SD card so it might be a good idea to move all installed apps to the phone memory.

Make sure your phone is rooted and your external SD card is FAT32 formatted.

Back up your original /etc/vold.fstab

Copy accross any data you want to be on new /mnt/sdcard from your /mnt/sdcard to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

Unzip and put modified vold.fstab on you phone

In root explorer go to /etc

Re-mount the filesystem to R/W

Copy modified vold.fstab from wherever you have it to the /etc using root explorer

Change permissions to rw-r--r-- (644)

Re-mount filesystem as R/O

Reboot your phone

Your external big SD card should now be /mnt/sdcard (Internal SD) and your internal SD should now be /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

When you move apps to SD they will be moved to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

The hack is adoption of the MOD provided by trip007in on XDA Developers forum - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1088474 Many thanks.

I see no problem on call quality, I think that this depends from sginal strenght and carrier. In my case, I've noticed, that call quality is a little better when using skype for calling.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Gambler_3:
I was so interested in this phone until I saw that it has 4GB internal memory divided in 2 partitions with a 2GB internal SD partition. With android you should either have plenty of internal SD storage or none at all as many of the apps are unable to detect an external SD with the presence of internal SD.

Why the hell would samsung not just ship the phone with 2GB SD card is beyond me. I dont want to root so sadly this is no longer an option for me.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] AndroidFiber:
guys, any feedback about this phone? whats the performance compared to other samsung android phones.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
It is hard for me to compare to other samsungs models,cause this is my first samsung,but I can sure say that performance is very satisfying and much better then my previous phone HTC Legend. I like this phone cause it is not to big, it has slick designe,runs very smooth,I can run 3D games without lags. If (when) it will get CyanogenMod it will be even better. With my regular use(some browsing,sms and other fiddling) battery last at least 50 hours or more.

:)Hi Erik

I made the exchange

I only put your file in place of the old ( /etc/vold.fstab )

I have to change other things?

so screenshot

tinypic.com/view.php?pic=4grqsk&s=5

I tried putting the app in memory 16 gb but if I move it,they go on always(scheda sd by 1,70 gb)

thanks thanks for the help

:o
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] eriksp:
Hi,

It is supposed to work this way - when you move app to SD it will go to the /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

If you want the apps moved to /mnt/sdcard you have to change vold.fstab - follwong line:

asec = enable

set asec to enable on partition where you want your apps moved and set it to disable on the second partition. I have not tested this though.

Eriks

PS. I have included modified vold.fstab as attachment. If you want that your apps are moved to /mnt/sdcard when you move them to SD use following mod (then there is little you can use your 1.7 G or of your internal memory now mounted on/mnt/sdcard/external_sd):
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] zaku90:
help me~~~~ T_T

hi, after i paste the mod vold.fstab to /etc, and i reboot my phone...

after that my SD card and my USB Storage total space become "unavailable"

when i connect to PC, it can't detect the storage...

what i have done wrong and how can i recover from this situation... T_T

can editing the mod vold.fstab to the original state make it normal?? if can, can somebody attached their original file because i accidently forgoten to backup my original file.. T_T
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] eriksp:
I have sent you an email. Original vold.fstab file attached, but keep in mind - it is from MY phone and will not necessary work on yours, especially if the modified one did not.

Hi.....

getting this phone as a present for Christmas, from my son.

Just need to ask if there is a SIM Unlock procedure for the Galaxy W i8150??

My present phone, ZTE Blade was sooooo easy to SIM Unlock, and so many ROM's, and ClockworkMod Recovery......it will be hard to get used to not having Recovery, Custom ROMs, etc.......

But, the spec is so good, I am happy to see you guys on the case already.

Thanks in Advance.

BTW: I have also put in a request for a dedicated forum for the Galaxy W i8150 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1301121

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] zaku90:
thanks for the file, but i manage to swap the memory, last time i edit it manually and i didnt notice that there is small typing error on the directory, i left behind 1 space...:D

but i face a problem, when i install games, the games that is install on SD card is install on the original internal memory which is the 2Gb which is right now the External memory... is that normal?? can i make it install on the 16Gb SD card which is now the internal memory?? thanks..

*update: i've change the asec = enable for the external sdcard and disable for the internal sdcard, but when i want to move an apps from phone to SD, it says the SD card is full... help me..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] qzem:
I don't know about the sim unlock, but I think it shouldn't be a problem, since samsung has unlocked bootloader and we already gained root access, so this could be done aswell. Don't you wory about the recovery we will get it sooner or later. I've already contaced someone about this, and he is willing to help us on this topic. Also one cyanogenmod developer, already written here (arco68), has written here, that he is going to buy this phone. We need to be patient:).
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] eriksp:
If your biggest worry are games that install on the /mnt/sdcard/external_sd you should not have swapped the external/internal SD.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fcaronte:
Hi all, is possible to create a vold.fstab for mount only the external memory to have only the internal and one external memory?? the swap of memory create instability of system
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] eriksp:
What kind of instability are you experiencing - I have not seen any yet and would like to be prepared :)? Creating such vold.fstab should be easy - just allow asec to external sd and delete internal sd part altogether.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fcaronte:
i haven't the phone but i follow an italian discussion (on the forum telefonino.net) and a man that try the mod vold (1st version) tell that the swap go successfully but the terminal often restart o the app crash and we think to try with a vold witch mount only the external....can you make this mod please??

PS sorry for my english i'm italian :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] eriksp:
For those wanting to move apps to big external SD when it's mapped as /mnt/sdcard - you can try attached vold.fstab - I have not tested it in any way.

I can flash this in RZrecovery using the zip??

I see we are on his Confirmed Working List here: http://rzdroid.com/ftp/recovery/gingerbread/2.1.4/RZR-2.1.4-download.html

BTW, raidzero has provided Plugin's package, flashable in Recovery:

d/l link:

http://rzdroid.com/ftp/recovery/gingerbread/plugins/RZR-plugins-bundle-update.zip

I have flashed this, and it goes through the Fix Permissions, just like CMR I am used to from the ZTE Blade. (Sorry, I always say CMR, coz it was Clockwork Mod Recovery!!! but it makes no difference.....:p)

But, when I used it, there was no fixed permission log on /sd....

also, no recovery log on /sd

I think it all stems from the problem of writing to /sd or /external_sd on our devices..

I think I will flash the new RZRecovery....saw this tweet from raidzero:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] multipol:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
Just to remind to all the SGW Development all started here....1st there was a recovery created....RZR..pushed by qzem...then arco68 came to the picture when the source code was made available he started on the kernel coz he had yet (at that time) to buy this device.

Later eriksp shared the memory.card swapping etc.

Then came snake873 with his Italian ROM but he gave up trying n to get it to boot....it does not stop there we are ready to support you when you are ready...

In the duration arco68 managed to get his own CWM Recovery to boot but later got his SGW bricked...

Sent it for repairs and ended up with a mobo replacement n continued on after new year...

Later came The-E with his pictorial of rooting..recovery etc. He has helped me for the first time rooting my phone with stock ROM due to an issue.

BTW not to mention Irishpancake who is always around.....

Then came KezraPlanes with his broken lappy hooked up to a LCD in his attempt to cook a ROM after de-oxeding the stock ROM.

After a few push n encouragement the very first person to have cooked a ROM was KezraPlanes then to my suprise a fellow from my country cowithgun followed the same pace n came along TuxBrothers n Rio Saputro with another cooked ROM...

..Then came qzem to my suprise with another ROM....

I wish to extend to all in bringing this development esp to arco68 for developing the kernels n qzem for creating this thread making our very own thread section to materialize.

And now we wait for the ultimate ROM.....We already have GB maintainers n the brightest star shall be ICS on CM9 platform waiting to be fortified.....

Thanks a lot man!!! That's what I've been looking for... My next move is getting a Class 10 32gb SDHC card... Lol!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] a.fontenele:
Man... When I saw this I couldn't wait to test it... :D

I use "Internal/External SD Swap" because I simply find it perfect since I have a Class 10 SD Card... :D

But the only thing missing is being able to move apps to USB Storage instead of SD Card...

Sadly, it didn't work... When trying to move apps it says something like no available memory... The thing is, I still have 20Gb available and it shouldn't say this...

Any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
The SGS is designed to move apps to "external SD".

This is what is happening, your apps are moving to External....

but you have implemented swap to "fool" the system...

so your moved apps actually go to internal SD[USB Storage]...which is limited to 1.7GB!!!

This, in my opinion, is the problem with this swap...

you have a giant SD card, capable of storing many apps, and data, if apps are configured to store on external SD normally...

but the storage is wasted as the system will not move to "internal" which you have mapped to be your SD card!!

In my opinion, the way to permit your apps to go to your external SD card, is to reverse the swap, unless you had a compelling reason to implement it in the first instance.

It's really a question if wanting things both ways...

There may be some other vold.fstab trick to do this, I don't know??
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] a.fontenele:
Moving apps to the USB Storage having Internal/External SD Swap would be awesome...

Thanks a lot irishpancake for the explanation!

One of the reasons I like the swap is that the most important things are in the SDHC card. So in case the device does not work for any reason, I have everything backed up and restoring to another device would be easier since I wouldn't have to worry about the lost content in the USB Storage...

I'll try swapping back as you suggested, but I'll still be on this quest of moving apps to the USB Storage... And if anybody knows how to do this it would be awesome, since the original 1.7Gb USB Storage is worthless to me... :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Hi fontenele

SD cards have been known to fail too!!

You can backup everything from internal and external to your PC anyway!!!

Just be careful if doing a reverse swap!!

You may lose stuff...I never did this, so I don't know.

Just back everything up..

but making a Nandroid before modifying or replacing your vold.fstab might be a problem....

If you need to restore it, you would also restore that file as is now!!!

and Nandroid with our CWM does not back up apps on external SD.

So I am not sure the best way..to avoid losing data!!

You could explore options with Titanium Backup.

Also, before doing any reverse swap, check can you move apps back to phone memory...

What I am saying is just be careful and think before doing anything which could cause data loss!!
