Are you running a custom ROM? If yes, I'd throw the question of "how do you install YouTube here?" to you dev.

Are you running a stock ROM? if yes, I'd throw the same question to customer service. Or ask around in your device's forum.

Warning: This will erase your userdata partition. It is HIGHLY recommended to do a nandroid backup with CWM "BEFORE" performing this procedure

TUTORIAL:

Follow this method to make your userdata partittion to 420mb

1. Reboot your phone into CWM

2. Move to "Backup and Restore",then select "Backup"

3. When backup done, power off

4. unzip and flash the attached ftf file with flashtool.

5. Go into CWM again, select "Backup and Restore" then "Advanced restore", select your last backup then "restore data"

6. Enjoy your extra space :D

7. To reverse this process just flash the original ftf of your choice (42, 58, 62) and your userdata will return to its original state!

This mod is useless to those who have the "Arc S Lt18i" or have flashed a rom made specifically for Arc S (ICS Beta rom) as this is where this mod came from.

It is however very useful for us "Arc Lt15i" users cause we gain an extra 40mb to store apps on internal memory

I have been using this for a couple weeks now and have suffered no ill/negative effect. That said, it is at your own risk and I claim no responsibility if you turn your beloved Arc into a useless paperweight!

If I have left anything out feel free to pm me
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rec71:
I am on the ICS beta and have 420MB space - maybe it uses the same trick. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kurnage:
Yep thats because it is using the ARC S userdata partition ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ninolina:
So, with only bringing back Nand backup will not change this rise of userdata space? And what will happen if I just flash new ROM? It will stay unchanged? I will still have 420mb?

Now I looked and I alredy have 420mb...:) Hmm...:rolleyes:

Thanks for this...:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kurnage:
restoring your nandroid backup and changing to any rom will not effect your new space of 420mb.

It will only revert if you flash an original SE firmware (ftf file)

Peace!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
very interesting...

so if i understand this correctly, u have basically found a correct combination of files which makes the bootloader resize the cache and userdata partitions right?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kormatoes:
Mines been done for months no effects ever noticed very very good trick

I just used Neo v data partision
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Crocodile1973:
Interesting, is this a baseband thing. Will we be on .62 from .64
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kormatoes:
No any one can do on Neo or arc
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Crocodile1973:
great, flashed and now 420mb. seems to be running ok. many thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Azev:
I confirm its work on my Arc 380 > 420 mb.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ok so for someone how is using this/has flashed this can u do some testing for me?

ONLY FOR ARC (LT15 users)

download the .42/.58/.62 FW and flash only the userdata & cache partitions, exclude all other partitions (checkboxes in latest FlashTool)... do this for using both ARC (LT15) & ARC S (LT18) specific firmware...

and then report how the data partition size is...

thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kormatoes:
Off topic

but arc s & Neo v have 420 if you flash ether you will end up with 420

I'm lost in what your trying to get at:)

If your looking for problems mines been done for months with no problems

Or if its for some weird n wonderfull trick your planning disregard me fully

It been in Neo thread for months never seen any bad effects or bad comments
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
let me make it simple... i am trying to figure out if there is a way to resize/modify the partition table of our devices ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kormatoes:
Simple lol OK

Well there is

to what size idk

And where is it coming from

Is more the point

We just wait for some info from arc testers

Peace out

Also don't regard this as negative I'm interested in what you have in mind 100%
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr.alawi:
thanks for the MOD which is really nice for those who always change there ROM

but i think it been around 2 months or maybe more someone came up with

[MOD][AD2SDX] which increase the ROM and added with SD card

which is much better then Link2SD but i don't understand why no one were talk

about it ..does it have much of problem using AD2SDX mod even thu i saw

positive respond from the users after applying it :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jjdoctor:
That was a good mod but Truely 420mb is more than enough as most applications can me moved to SD card in App manager ... Unless u are app Lover and isntall more than 100 apps then AD2SDX is good for
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ALIRAFAAT:
hi

ihave use this mod in arc s - a.0.62 - doom kernel v19

but no any change in internal memory ( before 311 - after 311 )

If you read the first post you will know why nothing changed for you!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jinx13:
Just wanna say thank you, works great with no issues.

My question is can we raise the space even more?

Like delete apps then raise above 420mb?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] mcastaldelli:
Weird.. I have the ics beta from Sony in my arc lt15a and it shows only 380Mb in total internal storage. It is running fine for over 2 weeks.

I only flashed the 3 files with flashtool, each of the 2 to the respective partitions, system and userdata and the kernel to boot.. Is there anything else to it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BinaryXeroMedia:
that was more likely to do with the boot partition. If you were to flash the boot.img from the beta release in your arc then you have a very high chance of bricking your device. But the others may have had more vigorous testing and 1 small thing happened meaning they will say do not flash in the arc due to one small bug they found.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
This mod works fine for me, too.

Now we just need a mod to upgrade our antenna to 14.4Mbit/s HSPA+ and we can transform our Arc to Arc S 100% haha
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
on X10 forum there was some MOD/hack to select "HSPA" speeds if the device supports it... search for it and try...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] championswimmer:
ro.ril.hsdpa=10

ro.ril.hsupa=6

sumthing sumthing like that afaik
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Thanks

I'll give it a try, maybe Arconium already includes that.

But it's hard to find a place with over 7.2Mbit/s with my operator. Need to change the operator when my contract ends :

EDIT:

Juat checked the build.prop. There are already network tweaks :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hootnath:
i had once flashed the xperia arc s's gingerbread ftf as it is and have had 400mb system, 420mb data n 101.5mb cache ever since. so instead of some customMTD mumbo jumbo, the solution to reducing the system partition's size by, say, 200 mb N that of cache to say 51.5mb can be achieved somehow by editing the contents of the ftf.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jinx13:
Is this mod just cosmetic?

Like has anyone done this mod and got past the 380mb mark without low space error?

Jinx13
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kurnage:
It's for real and not cosmetic. You can go past 380 and upto 420
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jinx13:
So how come I got low memory message at 379mb?

That is what makes me think it is cosmetic and doesn't actually change the space.

Jinx13
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Low memory message is triggered below 45 MB I think
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jinx13:
Nope my girlfriend has 27mb free on internal memory and her phone is standard from factory.

Jinx13
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
interesting...

ok try this copy some songs to /data partition using root explorer and see if u can actually fill it up to 400MB+
[Xperia Arc Android Development] inteks:
this is from NEO (same trick)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jinx13:
Yup I got it to 48kb and couldn't transfer anymore so maybe it is just a setting on the phone that deals with low space notifications cannot see the extra space or something

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kriomag:
do any of you guys know how to back to .42/.62 after ICS? flashtool is not helping, after flash i get bootloop, only ICS is working fine, and lately i discovered that german .69 is working with these changed partitions (im using it now), but i want .62 with option to remove polish letters from sms. I think its about these partitions, changed size... how to restore original partitions size? or is this caused by something else?

help plz!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jtdc:
Mine displays 440MB in Titanium Backup, or you guys referring to System ROM?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] X-Droidinary:
I'm thinking this has worked and on 2.3.7 Xperia S fw.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
Mine also shows 440MB in TB. However under the normal android all-apps screen it shows 355mb used with 65mb free (420 in total). If it was cosmetic it should warn for low memory (below 45mb) already I suppose as 380mb-355mb=25mb free. So I think it actually works.

Maybe I should add another 65mb just to try to fill it up entirly which would confirm the mod works.

EDIT: I filled it up with another 37mb up to 392mb used with 28mb free. So past the 380MB mark. So it works. I also get a low disk space warning now as I would expect.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Marchello1:
it works fine, tnx mate ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kurnage:

Can this work on ics 404. 431??? generic global world???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] duridian:
It didn't work when I tried. Probably due to incompatibilities between the bits of 4.0.3 (which this mod comes from) and 4.0.4
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jcgechevarria:
Thank's for your response.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Anicane:
Hmm if i am reading right mine raised to 440 MB lol :D, thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mohoram:
I upgraded THROUGH FlashTool Global LT15i_4.1.B.0.431_Generic World.ftf without problems, the problem arose when I wanted to update with a backup I had done, and I could, to loop, after making several inquiries, rom now only supports me 327 m., and yaff that I have several backups before this update are higher than 340 m ..

I made a downgrade to version LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Generic Global World.ftf, but it could not get the old backups.

if one uses the titanium backup or similar rom can watch how much memory is full, not free.

And if anyone knows who is going and knows how to fix it, would all help.

kernel?

rom?

A greeting mohoram.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] CosmicDan:
Titanium Backup is wrong, it counts in 1000 instead of 1024. He REALLY needs to fix that already.... only reliable way of getting size is via df command in shell.

I've examined this and it has the potential to destroy userdata if used on a custom ROM. That 40MB space is taken from system but the size for system isn't changed, so if you put any data onto /system that goes into the last 40MB of the partition then you can say bye bye to your userdata :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thatsupnow:
I've found after doin this mod if you flash a different baseband then you can also say bye bye to your userdata. And have to start over again
[Xperia Arc Android Development] buzzinkeegs:
i tried this out today and reflashed straight bk to stock it showed i had the 420 there but i got the same problems with the fone as i did while rooting phone stopped keyboard stopped etc etc and also when i put my data back on the fone from recovery it seemed to be taking up more space than it did befor ? think il manage with what i get with stck for the min
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jayjay1234:
This is a great mod if you can convert the cache partition into to data instead of sacrificing the system partition.

Cache = 101mb

You really need only need 10mb

Hopefully you can find a way Thanks!

[Xperia Arc Android Development] kevinaz94:
Hi guys, i have an arc lt15i on AOKP JB m1r2 and in Titanium i only have 327mb system partition and 398mb internal.

As i understood, this mod only increases internal memory to 420mb, right? And this is possible by flashing a new partition scheme via original firmware file. So after flashing ftf and restoring cwm backup i should get back my aokp as i left it plus the extra space, right?

This would already be great, but my goal is to increase system partition to 400+mb and internal up to 420+mb, as shown here

Any way to do it? Or better, how is it possible that he has even bigger memory (419+440=859mb!!)??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kevinaz94:
Sorry, up!!

Inviato dal mio Xperia Arc con Tapatalk 2
[Xperia Arc Android Development] CosmicDan:
I've said this many times before. This ftf increases userdata but doesn't shrink another and it overlaps with system. Because we have rw on system it can destroy data (stock locked is OK because system is read only).

If you want to customize partitions properly without chance of data loss and further customization, see my thread - Google for Custom MTD Partition Sizes.

There's an app called BAC lite, it shows an option to install boot audio binary and tells to use android_audio.mp3 in /system/media/ I haven't tried it with an MP3 or even a properly named ogg but I'd say to give it a shot for a possible quick, easy fix.

I couldn't get it to work, app changed boot animation fine but when I tried audio it said it installed the file but still heard nothing during boot

Can't remember where I found this procedure but it does work for me using CM7. I would guess it would work for CM9 and above as well.

Another user asked for this, and I helped him through it, so I decided to post it here so everyone can have access to it. I didn't create the file, just came across it one day being bored..I digress.

*NOTE: Anything in brackets is either description of what is happening or an action you need to perform; don't type in anything in brackets*

What you need to do to get a boot sound on CM7/AOSP is the following.

1. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/bootsnd.sh Apparently some people had issues with the first link, so I uploaded it again. Download that file, place on your sdcard.

2. Take whatever sound you want and rename it to: android_audio.mp3 [needs to be mp3 format] and save it to the system/media folder using a file manager that lets you access system directories. I use Root Browser Lite (you can get from Play Store).

3. On your phone, open terminal emulator, and type in the following:

su [enter]

cd /sdcard [enter] *you can store the bootsnd.sh file to any folder on your SD card, so use this command to navigate to it*

ls [to list all files, you should see bootsnd.sh]

sh bootsnd.sh [enter]

You won't see a confirmation, or message, it just runs, and returns you to a # sign.

Reboot, and enjoy your boot sound.

*NOTE*

If you flash / change roms, you'll have to re-run the process to enable the boot sound again. If you get tired of it / don't want it, you can use root explorer and delete the file.

If your having trouble getting sounds to play this should fix the problem.

Here is how to fix it.

Make sure you are mounting in R/W mode on each of these steps.

Delete any instances of it.

Using a app like root explorer, goto /system/bin and delete the file bootsound.

Back out to /system now open build.prop in text editor mode, look for this text.

Code:

ro.config.play.bootsound=1

Delete it from the build.prop and save and exit.

This is optional but recommened.

Reboot phone.

Verify no sound is playing.

Now run the script again and reboot.

You should have a boot sound again.

FIXED....I finally figured it out. You can't use CAPS in ALL the letters in the title or it will revert to lower case. You can CAPS the [HOWTO] in the title and then just use some lower case letters in the rest of the title.

How come caps won't stay in titles anymore???????????

i can type [HOWTO] and it appears in caps as intended.

If I add the other words [HOWTO] GET CAPS TO STAY IN TITLE....it reverts everything back to lower case.
[About XDA developers] jr_718:
To get a better answer ask one of the mods check out contacts from xda home page.. I noticed they have been a lot of changes lately. Remember xda is a public free service. Besides i don't think All CAPS IS NECESSARY.

[Atrix 4G General] Doolittle Duckbill:
Similar threads have been posted before. This is not for the pros, but for nooby end-users like me:

I have had my atrix unlocked, flashed CWM Touch recovery and ran various CM7 and CM9 versions for the last couple of months. Never had any (serious) problems.

Yesterday I seriously screwed up by flashing Jokersax11´s CM9 beta0.3.0 with a 20%-charged battery. I ended up in a boot loop. Pressing VolDown on boot, I could scroll through to fastboot, ..., recovery, but then got stuck: in fastboot mode, the display read: unable to flash because of low battery. When I selected recovery, the top-hat icon of CWM showed on the display, but it was frozen (the circle in the backgroung was not moving, battery pull / disconnecting phone was needed to end this state).

As the battery does not charge when the phone is not booted up, this was sort of catch-22.

How the problem was solved:

Read the atrix forum for 3 hours. Lots of people had this or similar problems. There´s a post describing the McGyver method of loading the battery: Sacrifice a USB cable by cutting it, strip the black and the red cable of its insulation an tape them to the battery connectors. Red cable to plus, black to minus. The battery connectors are labeled, thank god. With the other end of the USB-cable plugged into the wall charger, let the battery charge for about an hour. After putting the battery back in, I was able to get into fastboot mode. On the linux console, enter the folder where your moto-fastboot is (and your recovery.img, in this case named "recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.8-atrix.img"). Typed this to erase recovery, flash new recovery, wipe, reboot:

sudo ./moto-fastboot erase recovery

sudo ./moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.8-atrix.img

sudo ./moto-fastboot -w

sudo ./moto-fastboot reboot

After this, CWM revovery started properly and I could reflash CM9.zip, boot the phone up and properly charge the battery again.

What did I learn?

I will never flash with a low battery again. I will never flash with a low battery again. I will never flash with a low battery again. I will never flash with a low battery again. I will never flash with a low battery again. I will never flash with a low battery again.

Also, thank you XDA, thanks to all you smart people for giving dummys like me the means to enhance our phones with beautiful software. And special thanks to Jokersax11, CM9 works like a charm.
