[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinarabbit:
hey, thanks for the work

your File includes

System/Etc/init.d > 11sd_remount

and also:

META-INF > CERT.RSA

META-INF > CERT.SF

META-INF > MANIFEST.MF

META-INF/com/android > metadata

META-INF/com/google/android > update-binary & updater-script

and those are all required.. right? and where do we put the META-INF folder? on the Devices top folder, in the same location as "system"?

and then on the script, we put our current physical sdcard1 onto the current sdcard0's mount point, & vice versa?

so 179:97 is typically where sdcard1 is by default, so we just change 179:97 to be the point for sdcard0 instead, and point sdcard1 to the default mount point for sdcard0?

i guess I got that right?

and when you say "CHMOD 755" (verb) the file, you mean:

Owner= Read, Write, Execute

Group= Read, Execute

Others=Read Execute

is that right? and is that ONLY for the file found at System/Etc/init.d > 11sd_remount??

and can I just change those permissions for that file in ES File Explorer?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srnoth:
The only file you actually need is the 11sd_remount. The other files in the .zip are just part of the flashing process for your recovery.

So either you can:

Edit the .zip file to match your device, then flash, or

Simply edit the 11sd_remount file, copy it to /system/init.d/ and then "chmod 755 11sd_remount"

You can change the file permissions with ES Explorer, but it's simpler to use terminal emulator or adb shell to navigate to the correct folder and then chmod the script. The main thing you're doing is setting the permissions for the script to be executable.

Regarding the actual mount points, the best thing to do is, with your phone on & connected to a computer, run adb shell and type "mounts". This will give you a list of the current, default mount points, including both the internal and external sd cards. Use that info to enter the correct points in the 11sd_remount script.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinarabbit:
OK, i copied the 11sd_remount file to the init.d folder, then set permissions to rwx r-x r-x, then Rebooted the device, and it didnt work.. actually I think my SD card disappeared, then I booted to recovery and cleared cache and rebooted and now things seem back to normal.. addresses didnt change, its as if nothing has been done.

except, now i think i'm missing the following mount point from my list of Android System Info:

- /mnt/asec/net.dinglisch.android.appfactory-1

/dev/block/dm-0 ext4 ro,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noatime

which was the last thing on the list.. but I dont know if its related..

also, the original info says it: "can be used after updating CM." I dont have CyanogenMod

thoughts?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinarabbit:
well I got Internal 2 External to work after reboot

after copying everything from the internal SD to a freshly formatted SD card

launched the app, clicked the green arrow, clicked ASUS,

clicked "Use per default"

set my original internal to /mnt/sdcard and external to /mnt/sdcard1

then hit "Show other devices" scrolled down and clicked the 2nd to the last, and went up to make the sure that "The ext. sdcard device access" was set to the same number

then clicked External 2 Internal to return to the top page

then I unchecked "Apply at boot" and clicked "External2 Internal", waited a few minutes, clicked it again, then checked "apply at boot", clicked "External2 Internal" again, waited, did it again, then again..

then clicked the "init.d" button once, waited, then rebooted, then waited a few minutes after booting, then checked storage and everything was working.. except my internal sd card is the same as my external sd card now.. there is a repeat of the 32GB card, which is fine with me, so long as everything worked

that'll work

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QVirus:
I have another way to fix a corrupted Internal memory at CM11 (KitKat).

My approach is make a symlink (/storage/sdcard0 -> /storage/sdcard1/scard/0) from /etc/init.d script.

After flashing CM11, I have mounted external memory to /storage/sdcard1 and clean folder for internal memory /storage/sdcard0.

We'll be fixing it..

To start, create a directory for "internal memory":

mkdir /storage/sdcard1/sdcard/0

and create an empty file .nomedia in /storage/sdcard1/sdcard directory:

touch /storage/sdcard1/sdcard/.nomedia

Then create the /etc/init.d/99intmem file with the contents:

#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw /
rm -r /storage/sdcard0
ln -s /storage/sdcard1/sdcard/0 /storage/sdcard0
mount -o remount,ro /

and make it executable:

chmod +x /etc/init.d/99intmem

and reboot now!

That's all!

I deleted vold.fstab and my phone doesn't work I can't install anything,please HELP.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinarabbit:
I think you'll have to delete all the old install and .com folders.

Do you only have a problem installing apps you've had on your phone before or you also cannot install new apps you've never had before?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pltumangday:
Thank you for this.

My i9000 with broken internal sd is now slimkat.

I ran the zip script on recovery, then check my mount points. Changed the default number 179:97 to 179:1 .
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sdguinter:
Does anyone know if it is safe to keep the charger cord attached while changing the battery? The goal, of course, is to prevent a hard reset. (Obviously, all data should be backed up to SD card first.)

Is there a post somewhere that outlines the recommended steps for the battery change? (Search has not yielded one.)

Thanks,

Hi, I recently replaced my battery with a higher capacity battery bought off ebay for $22US del from HK to UK in 5 days. search for ezipda, later bought one for an Ipaq for same price.

The process of changing over took 5 mins, BUT!! I would not recommend having it plugged in and changing batt. You may be shocked by the result (pun intended). I cant remember if it did a hard reset but dont think it did. As long as your back-up battery is charged and u are quick dont think there should be a problem.

Unscrew the screws and get a wide thin blade and go around the edge of the case, I didnt and caused a few marks ont he edges! There are a number of clips that pop open quite easily. The battery is held in place by double sided tape, use the the same blade and carefully prise the battery up. Replacement is a reverse of the procedure, the only tricky bit is the connector is quite small and a bit difficult to locate but not too bad.

Hope I have helped. :lol:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sdguinter:
Thanks, BadgerBoy1.

The backup battery is the key, but how does one determine if it is working and charged? I've searched all over the system for an indicator of the backup battery, to no avail.

That begs the next question: If the backup battery is bad, where is it, and can it be replaced?
[HTC Butterfly S] fanghan:
Hey guys,

I have been trying to uninstall all the bloatware from my HTC Butterfly S after unlocking the bootloader and rooting it. However, sometimes randomly while uninstalling the bloatware (like the Korean keyboard) with titanium backup, the device will crash and restart itself, and previously uninstalled apps would appear back again.

For example, i uninstalled 7digital, Google Korean Keyboard, HTC Sense Wechat (in that order) then the device would crash while uninstalling HTC Sense Wechat. After it booted up again, i found that my default keyboard would change back to HTC's own keyboard and that 7digital, Google Korean Keyboard and Wechat would all be found installed again.

Anyone else experiencing the same problems?

Edit : okay so restarting the phone without it crashing does the same things too..all the bloat apps came back :/

Edit2 : oh ya im using stock rom by the way.
[HTC Butterfly S] tsokh:
I also tried to uninstall HTC Sense Webchat and had the same issues. I think this program is somehow connected either with Blinkfeed or integrated in the system, so you can't delete it from rom.
[HTC Butterfly S] Warell:
I unninstaled all the bloatware from my HTC One X once I rooted it. But then, I could not install OTA updates anymore. I had to get an old backup from my Nandroid, restore all the bloat just to be able to install the update. Was really annoying.

Now, I moved to one Butterfly S. This time, I plan to root and freeze all the bloat with Titanium Backup. Once and update is released, I can just go there and undo the freeze.

Did you tried freezing the apps you don´t want? Maybe it can prevent the crashing.
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
The system partition seems to be write-protected somehow. Any changes you make from within a running system are lost on reboot, even though you remount /system as read-write. In order to circumvent this, you can write down a list of APKs you want to remove, reboot into recovery and do it from there – in that case the changes are permanent.

I have certain doubts as to whether an OTA will work on any rooted Butterfly S if one gets released eventually. Butterfly S suffers from the same problem as One, i.e. certain apps come preinstalled in /data (see this thread for a list of those that were in /data/preload on mine) and the OTA update script checks their integrity as well, but they are wiped in the process of unlocking the bootloader.

Now, obviously, I made a backup of those apps, but that may not be enough, it's perfectly possible there were other things in /data as well and there's not really a way to find out unless HTC releases a RUU, in which case we can look into its contents.
[HTC Butterfly S] daorderdillon:
So basically your saying that we should not unlock the bootloader and I don't think it make sense to unlock it because there is no s off
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
No, that's most certainly not what I'm saying. All I'm saying is that if you unlock your bootloader, any OTA upgrades might not work because some files from the original ROM are lost in the process. This is just unfounded speculation based on the fact that this was true for the One and the Butterfly S shows the same symptoms. Nevertheless, we have yet to see whether this is true or not since HTC haven't released any OTAs for the Butterfly S yet.

If you don't need root or custom recovery, feel free not to unlock your bootloader and stick to the vanilla stock ROM. Some of us need root, which means we did unlock our bootloader and are willing to bear the consequences.

I don't see any reason why not having a S-OFF exploit would mean that it's not worth unlocking. Just unlocking the bootloader via HTCdev is perfectly sufficient to install a custom recovery or ROM, from what I gather around the interwebs, custom kernels should be all right as well. If you want to argue that you need a custom splash screen then I'm willing to argue that you don't.

Anyway, this entire discussion is way off-topic already so I'll stop here.
[HTC Butterfly S] electronical:
This is an interesting discussion, although i'm away from my turf, as i got an HTC One - on second thought, it isn't so different from the Butterfly S. I was looking for a way to get rid of the bloatware and keep stock Sense UI. The problem, as has been discussed in the replies above - there is a "bug" when unlocking the bootloader from htcdev that causes some data to be wiped out. From what i've read all several similar cases, you will not be able to update via OTA. Basically, if you want to go back to stock with OTA support, you'll need to download a stock rom matching your device's region and restore that onto your device. I personally don't think it's worth it, as HTC will be releasing 4.3 soon (by the end of this month, according to leaks).

However, i was hoping to find an app (much like what already exists for the Galaxy S4) that would easily disable or block bloatware apps, without uninstalling them (that wouldn't be possible without rooting anyway). I'm really hoping that such an app exists for the One or Butterfly S, as i've been able to manually disable apps running in memory through Settings > Apps > All and i've noticed significant improvements, especially in the AnTuTu benchmarks. An automated way of doing that would have been really awesome.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dully79:
You'll need to find and modify the xml that calls for "ab_solid_light_holo.9" which is in framework-res.apk. That's if there is an xml calling for the image.

The colors will be controlled most likely through res/colors/ or res/styles.xml you just need to find the right value. They are probably being pulled from framework-res also.

They are probably quite easy to trace back.

Start by opening all xmls in SemcAlbum with notepad++ and search for "ab_solid_light_holo" in all opened xmls. if you dont get a hit it's probably being called through styles.

Go to styles.xml in SemcAlbum and have a read though the names and values, theyre normally self explanatory.

I'd help you more but i'm a bit busy.:good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] immerblind:
thanks, but i not have such lines in .xml files

lets see my steps, i edited every png/9.png same color (light grey, code c1c2c1)

i found out i have pngs with filename

semc_ab_solid_dark_holo.9

> edited to c1c2c1 colorcode

thats what i see in colors.xml

<color name="online_services_background_color">#ffc1c2c1</color>

<color name="album_color_band">#fffa5f1b</color>
<color name="dashboard_info_background_color">#aa000000</color>

i edited <color name="default_background_color">#ffc1c2c1</color>

<color name="background_image_color">#ffc1c2c1</color>

in my styles.xml i have this

<resources>
<style name="Theme.Album" parent="@*android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault">
[U]<item name="android:colorBackground">@color/default_background_color</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">@color/default_background_color</item>[/U]
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
<item name="android:colorBackgroundCacheHint">@color/default_background_color</item>

<item name="android:displayOptions">showHome</item>
[U]<item name="android:backgroundStacked">@drawable/semc_ab_stacked_solid_dark_holo</item>[/U]

you see, the AlbumActionBar has background defined with

drawable/semc_ab_solid_dark_holo

and it works, i edited the pngs, and the action is lightgrey c1c2c1

but the ThemeAlbum has background defined with

color/default_background_color

color/default_background_color is defined in the colors.xml, right? in the colors.xml i have

<color name="default_background_color">#ffc1c2c1</color>

but still, its a darker grey, like on the pictures :confused:

hm whats with this line in the styles.xml?

<color name="default_background_color">#ffc1c2c1</color>

<color name="background_image_color">#ffc1c2c1</color>

whats the difference between these two? :confused: :silly:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dully79:
My apologies mate i read it wrong last night. I thought you wanted the top the same color as the bottom.:o

Are the backgrounds not normally controlled by the Semc theme?

SemcAlbum- styles.xml

<style name="Theme.Album" parent="@*android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault">

framework-res- styles.xml

<style name="Theme.DeviceDefault"
<item name="windowBackground">@com.sonyericsson.uxp:drawable/semc_bg</item>

SemcGenericUxpRes- semc_bg.xml

<bitmap android:src="@drawable/[COLOR="Red"]semc_bg_tile[/COLOR]" android:tileMode="repeat"

semc_bg_tile usually changes with the Sony themes. Have you tried changing the theme to see if the album background changes?

I dont use Sony apps so i cant try myself.

Hey friends,

I am a new bee in android stuff... and i want to change the UI of my old micromax A100.. I came across various articles about custom ROM's and rooting devices..but as not much custom ROM's are available for this device (mmx A100) (pardon if there are and i was not able to find) i thought CM9/10 themes would be a good option... tries everything on how to nstall cm9/10 but to no avail, so i thought asking front up to all you experts here would be helpful...

Just want to know how to install cm9/10 on micromax A100 i already have seen rooting process on the forum

thanks in advance

[General Questions and Answers] power2top:
You shud not flash a custom ROM of any device to any device. FIRST search IF CM ROM for mmx a100 is available or search this forum for if anyone has created a custom ROM for your device and only then flash it. Flashing any rom will definately hardbrick ur device and make it completely useless.

Yes I have seen, there are cm9/10 themes for mmx a100 on forum and also from COBALT developers.

Just a quick tutorial for how to install cm9/10 would be a great Help.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] power2top:
If it is just Themes then u should be able to download it and apply using the default launcher(forgot the option) or if you are using Go Launcher, Apex, Nova launcher etc then you must go to their themes option and your CM9/10 themes will be listed there. Just select it. First check what kind of launcher the theme is for. The steps for applying them must also be given where they are given.

I had this same problem for the longest time, my solution was to make sure that BusyBox installed these applets:

Since I installed "BusyBox Free" by Stephen (Stericson), I had to manually go through the "Smart Install" method to make sure the applets were enabled (they weren't). Alternatively you can just check the "Replace All" box I suppose.

After I installed them I was able to flash zips fine! Hope that helps you.
