I think u are referring about XXLPQ and DXLP6. The XXLPQ is an Indian version whereas DXLP6 is Malaysian ROM. You can use the same rooting method of XXPLQ for your DXLP6... Hope this helps...

I9100XXLP6 this is a European version from January ICS 4.0.3 - model I9100

I9100GDXLP6 this version is the latest Malayan version from May ICS 4.0.3 - model I9100G

You need to make sure you flash the right version for your model of phone if you have an I9100G then only flash I9100G firmwares check sammobile.com

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrandom:
Hi everyone!

I just got CM7 (latest stable release) installed on on external sdhc card. I have wifi issues with CM7 (and looking around the forums tells me that CM7 can be finicky with certain routers) so I would love to be able to use Nook's stock ROM (4.1.4) when I am having issues.

But, when I am on NC ROM, I don't see anything except the small boot partition on the SD and when I am on CM7, I don't get access to this boot partition. I am wondering if there is a way to either create another partition or make the currently existing partitions accessible on both ROMS so that I can share data between them.

I am a n00b without any Android experience so thanks in advance for your patient responses.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Look in my signature for a link to my tips thread. I explain there how to make the SD media partition available to both ROMs (item B3).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MISRy:
*That's* the one I wanted to point them to. :p
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrandom:
Thanks.

Do you mean step #3 in Section B? I could edit it without running your script too, can't I?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If whatever you have on emmc is rooted, you can manually edit it. If you have unrooted stock, then you need to flash the zip since without root you cannot edit those files manually. And I did mean item B3. Each item is a different topic, they are not steps. One topic does not depend on another. Just do B3 and no others if you want.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrandom:
Yes, item B3. My mistake...

I should be able to do flash the zip from my current CM7 SD card's boot partition, shouldn't I?

So I put the update-stockemmc-vold-fstab-modified-for-partition4.zip file in the boot partition of the SD card, rebooted to Recovery mode and then booted to NC's stock ROM. NC is still using the tiny boot partition on the SD card as my external storage instead of the much larger CM7 partition. This was the same partition that was under 'My Files / Memory card' before I flashed so nothing has changed. I did this twice to double-check.

Am I doing this wrong?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Yes you are doing it wrong. You need to flash that file with a CWM card, not put in the boot partition of your SD. And since you did that, you need to re-flash your latest ROM on SD to correct your mistake. (I will edit my instructions to make it a little clearer that you use CWM to flash that file.)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrandom:
I got NC stock ROM to see my SD card partition by following item A10. That is most excellent and thanks again!

Unfortunately, I no longer see the boot partition when I attach NC to my computer whether NC is running off stock ROM or CM7. My guess is that this is due to my failed attempt to flash from my CM7 SD card yesterday. Am I right?

I thought I could reverse that by copying the update-stockemmc-vold-fstab-return-to-stock.zip file to CM7's boot (and then booting to the recovery mode) but that seemed to have nothing.

If I understand your previous message correctly, I should re-do my entire SD card but... I have already spent a few hours downloading and customizing the Android apps. Is there a way to preserve all that before Win32diskimager destroys the contents of the SD card?

Is there a way to manually mount the /etc folder from a unix prompt and alter the file?

Does it even matter if I don't see boot while I attach NC to a computer? Are there any caveats to 'let it be'?

Questions, questions and more questions...

That leads me to the obvious question, is there a book that explains Android to someone who is not interested in programming it but wants to understand the architecture and design of the OS (and custom ROMs)?

Thanks for being patient with all these n00b questions.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You do not need or want to re-set up the whole SD installation. Just put the same CM7 zip file back in the boot partition and boot to SD recovery. It will put the correct vold.fstab back on the SD. You will not lose any settings or apps you have already set up. (And putting the return to stock zip there was also the wrong thing to do. The vold.fstab for stock and CM7 are different. But don't worry, it will fix that too.)

You are not supposed to see the boot partition on the PC when you plug the nook in with the cable. You are only supposed to see 'emmc' and 'sdcard'. Under the original setup, your stock system thought the boot partition was 'sdcard' and that was why you saw it on your PC. Since you modified stock to see partition 4 as 'sdcard', partition 4 is what the PC sees, not the boot partition.

Most people have to physically take the card out of the nook and put it in the PC to see the boot partition on the PC. If you don't want to do that, use my script in item B4. But since you are on CM7, you will not be adding many things to the boot partition to install with SD recovery in the future. So it is probably best to leave things be.

And I don't know of any books to help you.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrandom:
That is excellent news!

A bit of playing around with Astro tells me that I was wrong about seeing the 'CM7 SDCARD' partition when I was on CM7 ROM. I am only seeing the boot. Anyway, I am going to flash the CM7 ROM again and I am hoping it would fix everything.

Also, yes, I can see the boot partition when I put the SD card directly on my computer but I was also able to see it when I hooked up the NC to my computer via USB before I did my unintended tweaks but... I'll survive.

I'll be back after I flash. (Famous last words??)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrandom:
Mission accomplished!

Thanks again for all your help.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
For future reference after you alter stock's fstab... all you have to do is:

mkdir /sdcard/boot (only have to do this one time)

mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/boot (do this every time you want to put something on the boot partition)

put anything you want on boot partition in /sdcard/boot
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Yes, there is one big advantage to using that method. I think it allows the boot partition to be seen not only on the nook, but also on the PC when you plug in the usb.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
We could probably come up with a symlink to /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 to /sdcard/boot and avoid having to mount it everytime as well.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Thank you Dizz, your suggestion got me to thinking and I was able to come up with an init.d bash script that does the trick. I just temporarily mounted sdcard and created the sdcard/boot directory and the mounted the boot partition to it, then unmounted sdcard so it could be mounted again by the system later in the boot sequence.

The only problem is now sdcard will not mount on the PC using UMS mass storage. Must be because of having a second mount within the mount. But it does mount with MTP. But that may be acceptable. I will test some more, including using Goo Manager tomorrow.

EDIT (6-21): Goo Manager works. But I think I have figured out why sdcard is not mounting in UMS. Once it is mounted in my script and the boot partition mounted under it, it cannot be unmounted. And since it cannot be unmounted, it cannot be mounted later by the system as vold. If it cannot be mounted as vold, it does not show in UMS. For now I think I will leave it as I have it in Rev 2 of my script (symlinking to the root directory with full r/w permissions). If people want to see the boot partition on the PC, just use my modified for CM9 NookColorUMS available in my tips thread.

Help!

When CM7 is running, my computer is no longer mounting any of the partitions when I connect NC to my computer via the USB cable.

If the NC stock ROM is running, my computer mounts all three partitions (MyNook..., boot and CM7SDcard) but calibre is not recognizing the external partitions for transfers.

Further, when I boot to my NC stock ROM, I am no longer seeing my SD card's contents in the NC's library.

This may have something to do with the fact that NC stock ROM seemed to have updated itself to 4.1.3.

Should I re-run the scripts again or am I missing something else?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
When it was updated to 1.4.3, you lost the emmc mods. Just re-flash my zip with the CWM SD. You may have lost CWM on emmc too.

On CM7, you have to select the turn on storage button after you plug it in. It is not automatic like stock. Pull up the notification area and touch the turn on button.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrandom:
Darn, I forgot about that 'USB' option under notifications. Enabling it allows me to find the partitions. I will run your scripts again when I find a spare mUSB card.

Thanks again for your help!

i apologize if im breaking some kind of rule but i cant post on the development forum!?

after about 15 minutes of running ultimatum 2.1 my phone bootlooped i tried a couple tricks i have seen for bootloops and they were unsuccessful so i reinstalled with no wipe and ill see how that works has anyone else had this issue and if so... fixes?

i posted this thread hoping the developer will see it since i cant post on their development thread thanks

(post update)

setcpu is causing i suppose thats what i was doing the first time this time i went to change my settings as soon as i started setcpu it blackscreened dead nil zilch down for the count all i can do is download mode thank the android god haha but serious problem here POSSIBLE BRICKING howtomen & vlara please fix i really like ultimatum im going back to 2.0 have to work in 30 minutes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
Lol, your messing with the CPU with SetCPU, and you posted an issue about a bootloop, are you serious?

use the search function, wipe your phone completely, and dont mess with the CPU voltages.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Questions go in the question and answer section. When u provide a bug report or ask for assistance u have to provide more details than this. Unless it's a known bug, u should tell whoever yer asking for help what kernel u were running, if u had flashed any scripts or anything that may have led to the issue, if u did a full wipe before flashing, if u undervolted or underclocked, and if u had set your values to start up automatically on boot. As much information as u can give will help whoever is looking at your post diagnose what may have gone wrong.

Some more info will help us to help u. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] flammingcamel:
Thank you for not being a total jackass like a lot of people I was running setcpu at 1600-200 mhz, governer conservativ, I/o noop, no other changes I flashed from ultimatum 2.0 rc1- to ultimatum 2.1 using cwm no other objects flashed. As soon as it booted and said setcpu has been granted su access it restarted loop the finally black screened and I had to go to download mode and reflash stock root. If any other info has been left out just ask I work all night and I want to get into programming. I do plc programming on robotic equipment at my job and its fairly similar just more portable and if someone will move this to Q&A that would be great
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] howtomen:
Ive never understood why people use setcpu... just curious try setting tthe same settings with voltage control... see what happens... if u get bootloops maybe your chip doesnt like oc/uv..

im on my phone. expect terrible typos.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Droidmissionary:
+1 I ran it back in the day, it worked with GB roms ok but I started having issues with reboots and read that set CPU is known for causing some issues
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] flammingcamel:
I have already switched to voltage control and it gives better battery, much more stability, no boot problems, and so much more pros vs very little cons (only thing I have found is no stress test for CPU and your settings) and thanks for the reply I can now post future problems on your developer thread

On the upper right hand side of each post you'll see a small button with an exclamation point in a triangle (). That's the report post button. When somebody posts in the wrong place or double posts, click that button to let the mods know... that's what it's for. There is no need to post a derogatory or hostile rant that the mods will never see. They will see when you click the report button. The forum is a community, and keeping it clean is a group effort.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eg1122:
Hello everyone, lately I do not have enough time to make a full theme so I decided to make a couple of DIY Tutorials on animated statusbar icons, such as gps, sync, and battery. Most devs/themers already know how to add this to their roms/themes, but this is more for people who are just starting out. I will add more tutorials to this as time allows. Please do not post questions on how to use adb, apktool, etc… as there are plenty of guides on these posted all around xda.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of apktools

Knowledge of adb, root explorer, etc

Notepad++ or equivalent text editing program

Know how to follow directions…lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eg1122:
To add animated gps to your rom/theme you need to

decompile SystemUI.apk using apktools {apktool d SystemUI.apk}

go to /res/drawable/stat_sys_gps_acquiring_anim.xml

open stat_sys_gps_acquiring_anim.xml with Notepad++

you will see the following code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animation-list android:oneshot="false"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
[COLOR="Red"]<item android:duration="500" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_gps_acquiring" />
<item android:duration="500" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_gps_on" />[/COLOR]
</animation-list>

Between the lines in red add the following code (you can add more animation by adding more lines and changing the # at the end to 4, 5, 6, etc..)

<item android:duration="100" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_gps_acquiring1" />
<item android:duration="100" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_gps_acquiring2" />
<item android:duration="100" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_gps_acquiring3" />

Now replace the “500” duration values with “100”. (The smaller the duration values the faster the animation)

Save your work and go to /res/drawable-xhdpi

Add your images here

Your images have to be named stat_sys_gps_acquiring, stat_sys_gps_aquiring1, stat_sys_gps_aquiring2, etc…

Make sure they are 50x50

Make sure they are in png format.

Using apktools compile your apk {apktool b SystemUI}

If no errors appear, you are good to go.

Sign and zipalign the apk

Use adb, root explorer, etc... to push your file into the system/app folder. {adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app}
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eg1122:
To add animated sync to your rom/theme you need to

Decompile SystemUI.apk using apktool {apktool d SystemUI.apk}

Create a new xml file named stat_sys_sync_anim0.xml

Enter the following code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animation-list android:oneshot="false"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:duration="70" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_sync_anim1" />
<item android:duration="70" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_sync_anim2" />
<item android:duration="70" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_sync_anim3" />
<item android:duration="70" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_sync_anim4" />
<item android:duration="70" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_sync_anim5" />
<item android:duration="70" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_sync_anim6" />
<item android:duration="70" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_sync_anim7" />
<item android:duration="70" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_sync_anim8" />
<item android:duration="70" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_sync_anim9" />
<item android:duration="70" android:drawable="@drawable/stat_sys_sync_anim10" />
</animation-list>

Note

You can add more animations by adding more lines and changing the # at the end.

You can delete some animation by removing lines starting from the bottom up.

The smaller the duration values the faster the animation

Save your work and place the new xml file in /res/drawable

Go to /res/drawable-xhdpi

Delete stat_sys_sync_anim0.png

Add your images here

Your images have to be named stat_sys_sync_anim1, stat_sys_sync_anim2, stat_sys_sync_anim3, etc...

Make sure they are 50x50

Make sure they are in png format.

Using apktools compile your apk {apktool b SystemUI}

If no errors appear, you are good to go.

Sign and zipalign the apk

Use adb, root explorer, etc... to push your file into the system/app folder. {adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app}

IF YOUR ANIMATION DOES NOT WORK AFTER A REBOOT

Decompile SystemUI.apk using apktool {apktool d SystemUI.apk}

Go to /res/drawable-hdpi

Delete stat_sys_sync_anim0.png

Add your images here as well

Your images have to be named stat_sys_sync_anim1, stat_sys_sync_anim2, stat_sys_sync_anim3, etc...

Make sure they are 38x38

Make sure they are in png format.

Using apktools compile your apk {apktool b SystemUI}

If no errors appear, you are good to go.

Sign and zipalign the apk

Use adb, root explorer, etc... to push your file into the system/app folder. {adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app}
