My friend Pao :confused:

You really gotta start reading in full what ppl post......

OK....you can use Storage Analyzer unrooted....that is good.....only reason I was not sure is I root on 1st day I got phone!!!!

But.....did you not see this in my post:

So, as I said above, no File Manager or Explorer on your phone can see the contents of the .android_secure folder on External SD, except Storage Analyzer, which is not really a File Manager!!!

This is as it was designed by Android developers, as a security measure and to prevent sharing Apps :rolleyes:

Also you now seem to accept that Apps moved are on External SD????

You should say this, as you said different before, and probably confused loads of ppl.

As you have made claims which are untrue, you should correct those!!

It is a matter if Good Manners and respect for others, OK :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 2g11:
Sorry irish. With all respect I dont agree with you there. I've got Astro installed but for mundane tasks like moving a file from one location to the other, My Files is so simple and effective. I use it all the time!! Its a matter of preference.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
To each his own.....

you are absolutely entitled to your opinion my friend.....

My opinion just happens to be different on this matter....

you can do those simple tasks with Astro or ES or Root Explorer also, no problem, no hassle....

but you can do very little else with MyFiles :rolleyes:

So why bother using it at all....
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 2g11:
Like you said....To each his own.

Hope you're enjoying your vacation!!

Showing the .android_secure folder

The Latest update to ES File Explorer has a 'show hidden files' check box, in its settings. This makes it quite capable of showing the .android_secure folder and its contents.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] _jis_:
Did you try it? It doesn't work for this folder.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pao9195:
yeah apps moved on external sd but the data still on the internal sd right?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Man....

you got no Manners at all....

Peeps go outta their way to help you, and what do you do....

come back with some other shyte question...

I will not answer you again....ever!!!!

I think u are an imnature troll

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pao9195:
i dont want you to answer my question dude :D ive already got an answer :p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Robin..... who is Batman??? ;)

Of course "hidden files" refers to those files which start with .

But .android_secure on external SD is not normal "hidden file"......

Please post at least pic to prove what you say....

Have you tried this yourself!!!!

Can you see Apps or anything in:

/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/.android_secure

folder????

With ES????

or anything else from phone???
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
I break my own rule...... you are a troll....

You post questions....to which you ready have an answer..... you disrespect ppl who try to help you ..you are a messer of the highest order.....

and you can phuck off as far as I am concerned....

coz I dislike you as much as anyone could dislike any person.....

You got no manners..... no humility..... and you are a prick

OK.....
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] darkteb:
I think this is exactly what happen when you move apps using built in move to sd.. The apps moved, but data still at /data (1.07GB).
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] lupor0x:
yep.. i've swapped the memory and now my app ges directly to the internal swapped memory (16gb) :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Of course Apps will move to Internal SD/USB....the 1.7G Storage

If you have modified the vold.fstab file, swapped mount points, so now Internal = External!!!!!

This is what you mean, no??

Where do get 16GB......?????

But, where does App Data go???

It still goes to /data/data in Internal Phone Memory.....

so, no real change there!!!!

Memory swap can be useful, as you can utilize External SD card on

/mnt/sdcard mount point.....

useful for Apps which expect this to be your SD card.....

But, using Android native Apps to SD on this phone moves Apps to Internal Card, now seen by android system as

/mnt/sdcard/external_sd
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] banelicious:
So, to be perfectly clear (and to rearder the mess in my head):

Our Galaxy W has "three" memories:

A) The phone internal memory

B) The USB internal storage (which should be located at /mnt/sdcard) (the 1,7GB one)

C) The External SD Card (which is at /mont/sdcard/external_sd)

What I still don't get is:

1. we download an app from the market, it gets installed in A

2. we use the standard GB "move to SD"

Where it should be moved then? in B or C?

As far as I know, without a mount swap mod, C is just for personal files (media, documents and so on).

If I understood this thread right, people here are saying that the apps should be moved to C, but when I move them I just see a decrease of space in B.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Sorry, your understanding is incorrect.....

Moved Apps, on normal Phone, without Memory Swap, go to what you call "C" ......

That is external SD Card.....

They are in hidden folder:

/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/.android_secure folder!!!!

The contents are encrypted and invisible to normal file managers on phone, even root file managers....

as was designed by Google/Android.....for "security" and anti- piracy....heh heh

However, you can see the contents of the secure folder with app Storage Analyser, free from Market......

Or, from your PC.....mount the External SD card drive, you will see the contents which are your moved Apps.

Also, perhaps as a final conclusive test, if you want to prove where apps are, unmount external SD in settings/storage....

unmount SD Card

Do your moved apps work or not!!!!

If not, they are on External SD.....

Jeez, how many more times!!!!!

I am exhausted!!!!

Please come back with evidence if your understanding us correct!!!!

I have posted numerous pics proving what I say.....just check my posts!!!!

If you have been helped by any of this......

Please acknowledge by pressing "Thanks" button......

how hard can that be!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] babribeiro:
Sorry if i will anoy someone but got a question.

Hi guys , I got some problem which i think it is related with what you guys talking here. I did read the thread but i got quite confused.

After some roms installs and factory resets and so on I got a problem also deleted all the folders in the internal and external and i think i deleted something i should not.

I cannot see the 1.7 gg internal storage

I can only see it when i insert a External SD-card.

Meaning

( When no External SDcard inserted):

at Storage :

SD card :"Unavailable" in all fieds

USB Storage: "Anavailable" in all fields

Device memory: 0.97 GB

(With External SDcard inserted)

SD card: "1.7GB"

USB storage"7.39"

The external card is a 8GB.

With root explorer going to the folder " /sdcard" it shows the space of the 7.4GB and after the "/sdcard/external_sd" shows 1.7gb ( used + free)

if i remove the external card , cannot mount the SDcard(internal).

I wanna ask how can i return to the previous state, factory one , with the 1.7 as internal and the 8gb as external.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my noobness
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Do you have a copy of the original

etc/vold.fstab??

here is mine.....it is original...no swaps....but from my phone....!!!!

So your problemo if it goes wrong!!!!

!!!!! OK. !!!!

http://db.tt/nz4mO0mk

This is the file where the memory mount point swap is done.....

You need to backup your existing

etc/vold.fstab......

just make a copy with root explorer....

Make a note of permissions for this file...

then replace/overwrite with my drop box file above....

ensure permissions are exactly same as you recorded above....

As I say....this is your phone....nothing to do with me.....!!!!!

I mean it... you cannot sue me....I have no money.....:D. :D

check out with ROM creator if above is OK

OK.......!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] babribeiro:
Hey irishpancake,

It worked.

What i did:

Copy vold.fstab with root explorer

Copy the text from your "vold.fstab" to mine.

Saved.

Restart phone and seems everything fine.

Thanks ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
That is good!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sbtwister:
The problem with this internal 1.7 usb storage is that most market apps take it for the external sdcard and will report a "too little storage" problem.

E.g. A navigation software with maps will require easily a base free storage of 1.99 GB. Now the max is this 1.7 GB so I cannot install the software.

Why did samsung do it this way ? They should at least have given us 3.7 GB usb storage then.

So can I permanently 'swap' the mount of usb storage to the my external storage card?

How, without rooting please?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
You need to search this forum.... there are many posts and threads where this is explained fully.....

Use vold.fstab and memory swap as search terms.....

And do be careful....

Also, you will need to be rooted for write access to /etc/vold.fstab file

This is also covered in the forum....

seek and you shall find....OK
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nihongasukidesu:
Thanks for the valuable information and sorry for the late reply.

The design that make the applications like games write their data to the internal sd card is not good, it is really a big design flow.

I know there are workarounds.

Thank you.

The biggest battery drain is usually the screen. In standby you should probably get 2-3 days (I don't know, I don't let it run all the way down). With constant use, you should get about 4-5 hours (more if you're just watching video; the touchscreen takes a good deal of batteries too).

[HTC EVO 3D] valdesr11:
Didn't even notice there was a Q/A section, sorry about that and thank you for the support.

Didn't know this tethering app had internal texting.

Thanks!

Thanks for this, will take a look at it.

How isnt this app that known? It has perfect ratings across the board with over 250k users? Thanks for this, I will definitely give it a try.

I used to use Google voice a lot for voicemail but once I figured out its integration with SMS, it got really annoying. I didnt want it saving all my text messages in its system and having to delete them every week while going through my voicemails. I even went through all the settings, but was only able to either dissable all SMS on the phone, or let it handle the Texts so I deleted the app until they fix that.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
To be completely honest, I don't know. I use it every day when I get into the office. My phone goes in the dock and connects to WiFi. I run the program and open the browser, login, and I'm good to go. I can listen to my music from my phone, read/answer text messages, look at pictures, install apps. The only thing I wish it did was emulation of your phone, but it's not necessary. Give it a shot, you'll be glad you did.
[HTC EVO 3D] Android Cowboy:
What your asking is exactly what Google Voice does. I have it and it's pretty great. On sprint it's integrated so you can even make your number the GVoice number so no problems there. I would suggest that.

Desksms is an awesome little program. I remember when it first came out. Koush does great work.

[HTC EVO 3D] valdesr11:
I already have it up and running but I am having trouble with the network. Keeps giving me an error every time I try to send a text. Other than that, the App seems very solid. Can't wait to find out everything it does.

Like I said, I used it as well but I hated the fact that it was all my text messages and they would not delete after deleting from my phone. But the main reason I didn't like it is that it would sync together with the voice mails so I would have to dig through all the text to find the voice mails.

Speaking of Google voice, any one know of an alternative?

I am rooted with MIUI but voice mail doesn't seem to work on it.

What do you guys suggest?

I still don't understand why people act that way. If your not a moderator, then don't say anything. Its not your job unless you want to give someone a heads up, but don't kill the guy. Its not like I go on the forum and say, today I am going to post in the wrong section on purpose to piss people off. Either way, if posting in the wrong section bothers you to the extent that you have to ***** the other guy out, you spend too much time in front of the computer. Go outside and get some fresh air. Play a sport for a change.

+1 for google voice - one thing I love about GV is a program called GV notifier by Dave Amenta (google it), it runs on desktop like yahoo messenger, google talk etc...anyways, makes it so easy to text people throughout the day while working.
[HTC EVO 3D] valdesr11:
You guys are really going to make me give it another try. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] valdesr11:
Is there any way I can have this program run from a USB drive? Plug it in, run, and then remove it after I leave that computer? Don't want to waste time installing.
[HTC EVO 3D] Heaterz16:
Not sure, here is the link: http://www.daveamenta.com/products/gvnotifier/
[HTC EVO 3D] valdesr11:
Got it, Thanks.

Q: Is GVNotifier portable?

A: Yes, copy the application files from the GVNotifier install loction. Create a blank text file named settings.xml in the same directory as GVNotifier.net.exe. GVNotifier will then store all preferences and cached contact photos in the same directory.

There are 2 versions of the pre-rooted el29 odin one-click, one that resets your data to start fresh and another that preserves your data.

If you want to do it ota-style you need to do two steps, first to ek02, snd then to el29.

To figure out why the ota update is failing, use the auto root package and run the appropriate compliance check from option D

Everything is in my signature

I have a Gen 1 ZTE Blade (UK San Francisco) and want to get a better working ROM than this poor stock 2.1... and WIFI is broken for some reason. Could have been SuperOneClick, i'm unsure.

I've done my research and i need to update to Gen 2 via:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1258855

but which is best/ what are the dirrences between these two methods described in the post (copied below)?

Also on CM wiki site it says to use version 7 - is this is important for any reason for CM7?

then flash CWM via Rom manager and then do the ol' flashing of 'CM7.1.0 stable' (or better suggestion?) in recovery, akin to what i'm used to on my SGS i9000. (Can i still access CWM via button combo on bootup?)

Do i need to backup /EFS, IMEI etc before flashing?

(i know i have to do my personal data, sms, apps, logs etc before factory reset)

Thanks for any help, i'm a noob on this device!
[Blade General] karthiknr:
The Blade has 3 partitions of total size of about 512 mb. One is the system partition in which the ROM's System fits into. One is Cache where the file data is saved. One is for the user for the installed applications.

It would be better you go for the alternative tpt version with the 215mb sys partition as you wouldn't have problems flashing the newer ROMs and the awaited CM9 ROM.

Install Clockwork Recovery via ROM manager after rooting your blade. Yes you can go into Cwm by holding power and vol-.

Take note of your IMEI. If you lose it while reverting to Gen1,you'll be needing it,though there are very less chances of losing it.
[Blade General] n99flake:
You say 'take note,' Is it possible to type it back in with an editor? or do i need to use adb or something?
