The initial enthusiasm for 'force broadcom' initiative seems to have died out completely ! These days all new posts we get on the topic here are- 'am gonna sell my sgy' kind useless impatient posts -well i can't afford a better droid any time in near future ! We don't even know whether anything is happening in the background between madteam devs and broadcom!

all i wanted to convey is that - if we can get this far , we can push this forward too ! Please carry forward this initiative ! Bring back both broadcom (nick) and devs into this again before its to late !

Sorry to create this topic ! Just delete this after some of you have read this ! I posted it here because of me being a newbie cannot post in developer section !

is it possible to turn my play to become a controller for ps2 ? my ps2 controller already broken and i'm lazy to buy a new one . got any idea ? :D

whith this one i think that we can

As the title sais, anyone knows where to get these? And are the screen protectors any good?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
You should try searching. There's a Mercury thread Bulkin thread glasszone and some more. All you have to do is type Color screen protector in the search bar
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
bullkin, not bulkin.

I have the bullkin one and it works pretty good. you do lose the ability to see the menu/back soft button glow though...(but no annoying mercury logo on it and it fits perfectly to the edge.)

I do like the glow, but I can live without it. Would be nice if they just made it a clear spot instead of plastering white on it, but it's still nicer than mercury's

Edited for spelling/grammar fail.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
some people like the glow, others don't.

for me i like it.:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dexter_prog:
I can't figure why after flashing custom (non-stock branded/unbranded) roms I lose my mobile internet connection in my phone. I tried different modems to no avail. Is it safe to flash a modem, CSC code and baseband of a ICS4.0.3 stock rom to a custom JB rom (resurrection remix)?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boki9999:
Did you set up APN settings? If you didn't know the settings, call your operator customer service, they'll tell you everything you need to know.

Sometimes new roms erase apn settings or dont set it up.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dexter_prog:
yep, they are set up. I even tried removing and readding them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boki9999:
Maybe your efs got corrupted. If you have a backup, try restoring it.

Sent from my Galaxy S2 GT i9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dexter_prog:
Well, I used kTool to back them up. I just did a "check EFS backup" and it reports that 93% of it is different now. Should I restore this backup?

Weird thing is I tried CM9 before and had the same problem, so whent back to 4.0.3 and everything was fine. That's when I did the EFS backup

note: the backup was done on stock unbranded 4.0.3 from Samsung Argentina (my country)

offtopic question: if my EFS gets screwed up, would restoring to stock rom fix them?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boki9999:
If you say efs is fine on stock rom, then yes, it would be fine. But you could just try restoring efs so you don't have to go back to stock. Stock would suck, wouldn't it? :p

Sent from my Galaxy S2 GT i9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dexter_prog:
Stock sucks man:( but what about the other thing I asked?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boki9999:
Restore stock rom to have working efs or restore the efs backup you have from before.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dexter_prog:
The problem seems to be with operators using a proxy for internet. I tried my girlfriend's Sim from another operator that doesn't use a proxy and internet was fine :/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dexter_prog:
By the way, I restored to my stock cwm backup and it still reports that 93% differs
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
here i have a fix for xperia phones that are not allowing the users to use there sd card correctly.for this fix you need to have root

before attempting this i advise you do the following as i hold NO responsibilty

1. backup any files that require modification

2. make a full backup.zip and move this from sd to pc

3.backup all of your apps from internal memory so that after the change you can restore all app data to the "new" internal storage

assuming you have root and follow above

use any root explorer to browse to system/etc

find vold.fstab and rename to .bak

download vold.fstab for your device

transfer to phone (internal or sd)

use root explorer to copy file from (where you placed it ) to system/etc

reboot phone

recover all app data

now sd card should be working fully as internal storage

if you require a fix for the phones not here please send me vold.fstab and i will modify the file

Please note these files for the moment are for stock ICS

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] santhosh5639:
I think u must change the permission of the copied file to rw-r-r.... Is it not necessary....???

cant use sd card as MSC connectivity... Works only MTP connectivity...???

It is like swapping internal memory to External memory and vice verse rite...??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Reck1993:
Sorry for question , but I don't really understand what it need to fix? Could u explain?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
when using the sd card on the xpeira go the sd card wont be used for apps as standered all apps and app data are sent to the inernal

memory and not to your sd card this means when you have filled your small internal memory (4gb) no more apps games can be downloaded if you find that this is the case you can use is this to swap your sd card and internal memory around so that if u have a 32gb sd card like i do you can use this to store all the information on your phone (as you hope to be able to do with your sd card )
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirosss:

I agree it works on Xperia Sola. But what happens when I pull out my sd card from phone? One more question - how to return to the state before the change? I suspect that I know how but I prefer to make sure :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
you have to turn phone off to safely unmount the sd card to restore deleate the file and restore the old backup you made
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] spectrun00:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
rename it vold.fstab.bak and then move the file from the zip file to ur system/etc reboot the phone (all the apps that were installed on the internel memorey wil not work you need to back up the apps first before you swap them over
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] spectrun00:
still not working..i had followed with proper step

i tried many times and transfer all my data from sdcard to ext_card

when i reboot, i opened the game and the data games i have to redownload back, whereas the data already on ext_card
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Black_jackss:
Kindly help to edit my vold.fstab from xperia go gingerbeard

My friend really need it but i didnot use go,i use xperia mini protolol
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] icedef:
Quick question if I reboot the phone will the swap still available or I have to redo the steps?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
gb is the same files as the go ics on here please use that

will stay aslong as the vold.fstab dosnt change
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ILoveXperia:
same things happen to my x go, i follow everything the instruction but still cant get it to work.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
can you post your file az zip on here and ill have a look into it do you have st27i or st27a
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ILoveXperia:
mine is st27i stock ics, root v16 by bina4ry, cwm by atis112
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
please redownload the mod file for go and follow the instructions as normal seems that somehow the original file i uploaded was the unmod version
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ILoveXperia:
NOW its WORKS!!!! thankyou so much nosmaster:good::good:

quick question will it works after i flash to other rom or i should restart from the begining after flashing to a new rom?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
as this requires you to mess with the system folder when you update rom this will override /system so yes you need to redo this (leave a copy in your internal or sd card then as soon as you have root again just copy and paste
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xperia_88:
After I changed the vold file I get my SD as sdcard and the internal storage as ext_card (the opposite than the original situation).

I have now larger area as internal mem (my SD is 16G instead of 4G) but it is slower than the real 4G internal mem.

Is this better environment now?

:confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
it depends on your situation if you are like me and meny others on here 4gb isnt enough for our phone( i filled my 4gb within about a hour after getting this phone ) so for me yes this is a must fix for me if you can deal with the 4gb internal then thats your call( what class sd do your have im running class 6 and i cant tell any difference mine just died so looking for a class 10 32gb card next )
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xperia_88:
10X 4 your fast response. I use 16G class 10 (team SD) and really don't feeling any slowing but my AnTuTu Benchmark show SD card read/write 56/65 instead of

150/137...

Anyway I'll stay with your great solution !

:good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
to be honest i didnt benchmark my sd card before it died but as i said i cant notice the diffrence so i dont reali mind it does the job i ask it to :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] forgottenrip:
Is good idea at all.. but..

but as a Linux user each time I plugged my usb cable I could access to SD Card ( only SD Card and all partitions I created within SD )

I know its possible to Windows users but i can only connect in mass storage mode.. so after doing this method its hard to access sd card

i mean im forced using Windows or unplugging SD from slot when I need it.instead my 4GB internal storage is accessible via mass storage mode now!

any suggestion!? i think it would be better mounting them as a merged or complex internal storage .. like partitioning SD card and mounting a partition as a folder inside Internal storage to use for applications ( but i know its torture mounting it each time we extracting SD and Insert again )

now im confused!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
im not sure how to solve this i dont use linux very often if any1 has any ideas on a fix for this ill add them into this thread
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TomNilson:
hi,

i used this fix on the stock rom, but now went to cm9!!

will this work on cm9 too, because i cant find the vold.fstab file??

there is just an vold file without the ".fstb"???

THANKS
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
yes the vold file is the vold.fstab if you are using windows to look at this it wont say its a vold fstab untill you tell it to best way to do this for fxp is to flash fxp zip then move the vold file as you did before . if someone can give me a bit of info on building update.zip files i can replace the files in the thread with update.zips that can be used from recovery :) makes life a lot easier
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TomNilson:
it didn't work, i did it as i always do, but i got stuck in bootloop!! (luckily i made a backup before!!)

and the vold file in the rom is 66.88kb big, and your vold.fstb file is just 213byte!! so there has

to be a difference in the both files!!! :confused::confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
i have yet to download fxp 151 will do tomorrow and i will let you know but if i remeber right if you look into the fxp thread i think sd support is a no go at the moment
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pakman123:
hi thanks for xperia sx mod but im getting fc for storage and usb connectivity hope you can fix :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:

I'm trying to use this in the new fxp 201 version but everytime i try to use it the phone gets stuck at the boot logo and the Ext sd card in the recovery gets unmounted with no way to mount it back since it says there is an error mounting it.. Any help? TIA
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] smrky87:
Works like a charm on fxp 201 and Xperia Sola - you just need to change every entry of 'ext_card' in the new vold.fstab to 'external_sd' (as that is the path fxp uses). Tested, works
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kly91:
Oh i see..Great! thanks for the info:good:

U Can remove ur Memory card

If u remove your Memory card on running phone your settings like alarm, wallpaper, ringtones will be reset and the program stored on it will not work which were moved to phone memory. App will work again after inserting memory card .

And if u unmount , then ur Internal memory showing as External card will be unmounted, or trying to erase SD CARD your internal memory (showing as external) will be formatted .

No settings will be reset regarding swapping of card if u remove your phone ext card. It will reset only after u restore ur original file (vold.fstab)

I know this because my ext memory card damaged and I have used my phone without it.

I replaced the file with original one and now i am using the phone normally. Only ringtones, alarm ringtones and wallpaper and some apps not working which are moved to phone storage. I corrected them by reinstalling.

Thanks in advance

dear monsterday2002,

i chanced upon this thread and will try to see if the modified vold.fstab you have posted... i do hope that it will finally work for many of us who have been looking for a solution to tell Xperia to recognize the ext_sdcard as the default storage to install software in.

ciao! and will click on THANKS just the same as well.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bodega1968:
Apologies

dear monsterday2002,

apologies and thanks for whatever... i read the discussion too fast and i thought that the attached file was a modified vhold.fstab from no master. in any case, did he give you a working .fstab for your xperia v? i have one as well, but when i 'peeked' into your .fstab, there seems to be a lot of differences from mine. that's what made me think it was a modified version.

any luck with tweaking this file so that what quite a number of us (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2185657) are looking for will finally be put to rest... if ever there's a solution to it.

thanks so much,

bodega1968 :fingers-crossed:
