Hi,

I just discovered another problem after installing app2sd.. I cannot remove the SD card from my phone.

When I removed the SD card and plug in another card, the phone will not boot. Just powerup with Phone provider screen and lockup.

If I put back the SD card with the ext2 partition, everything if fine.

Before the app2sd card installation, I can change the SD cards without any problem. Is it related to the app2sd installation or something I had done wrongly ? :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] _anarion_:
Yes, it is related. When booting up, the system looks for ext2 partition on your SD card and when it can't find it - no successful boot. I guess the whole premise of app2sd is based on the assumption that you will not remove your SD card...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] eyesthruthelens:
OK, Is there a way to revert back original condition? If I decided to sell my phone. :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] eyesthruthelens:
Hi,

I verified that my app2sd is working fine based on your method above.

su (hit enter)

ls -l /data

if you see app -> /system/sd/app

and dalvik-cache -> /system/sd/dalvik-cache

and app-private -> system/sd/app-private

that means app2sd is working. My internal memory is still only have 28MB left.. Is it that I need to remove these directory for the internal memory to increase?

Then type

cd /data

rm app1/*

rm dalvik-cache1/*

Will this cause the system to be unstable? :confused:

OK.. confirmed that after installing the app2sd, you need to check that these directory are there:

su (hit enter)

ls -l /data

if you see app -> /system/sd/app

and dalvik-cache -> /system/sd/dalvik-cache

and app-private -> system/sd/app-private

and if you install a new app, it will install in the /system/sd/app directory and not in /data/app1 directory.

if you can verify that, then your app2sd is working fine.

In order to free your internal memory, you need to clear the apps in these 2 directories:

cd /data

rm app1/*

rm dalvik-cache1/*

Now my internal memory is 145MB from previous 29MB. Great ")

All new apps now will be installed in SD card /system/ad/app.

I think for app2sd removal, you need to reflash the original Milestone ROM.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] shuweee:
hi gemini002,

i think i got app2sd installed. when i did ls -l /data this is what i see. so what do i look for to confirm that it is working?

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] gemini002:
it is normal for memory in phone to decrease exp ashphalt apk 13mb your phone memory is 150mb after install memory for phone may be 147mb or 146mb sometimes when i download an app it does not move at all.One time my phone was at 45mb i downloaded and installed and app afterwards my phone was at 60mb.put a big app like google earth see what phone memory is b4 and after install also in adb type ls -l /data u should see

app-->system/sd/app

app-private->system/sd etc :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] darklipslide:
Tried this, working on Telus Milestone (2.1-update1 stock).

I rooted first using easyroot

and used gparted to resize my existing 16GB FAT32 partition, and creating a new 1GB ext2 partition.

After the whole process, there will be two directories:

/data/app which is symlinked to /system/sd/app

and

/data/app1 which still lives on the internal storage.

Thus to free up the internal storage, you'll have to move the /data/app1 contents to the SD card or you can delete it all.

Also, an extra reboot helps as I was getting an issue installing apps from the market, but after the reboot everything was fine.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] h_a_n_k:
mount sd ext2 fail

I had the "mount sd ext2 fail" problem as well and forever and thought there was no hope. Here are some tips and what worked for me:

-Reformatting my card a million times and trying to figure out how to set multiple partitions as 'active' at the same time was no help.

-If you don't know, Busybox is a Unix shell. That script you run (install_use_busybox.sh) is a series of Unix commands and "mount sd ext2 fail" isn't a real unix error, it's a response from the handy little script. Find your actual unix error to start looking for solutions.

-You could run all of the unix commands yourself, one by one, if the script is giving you trouble

-Your real unix error is probably:

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /system/sd failed: device or resource busy

-A solution to that error is described in another XDA thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1107545

All in all:

If you run the unix commands one by one (you can also stop trying to recreate existing files) and use this code when your resource is busy (cred kaukassus)

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

You should be able to make your resource available and continue along.

Additional tip: If you're running the unix commands one by one,

busybox cp /data/app /system/sd -r

may take a long time because it's copying all your existing apps. Don't kill the process because you aren't paying attention and suspect it isn't working. I did that. That was stupid. It sucked.

Additional thanks to kittcoldfire for reminding me that putting on a programmer hat is useful I'd almost forgot mine since it was buried in my closet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenfar:
Hi all,

has any friend found that the new release leak kernel have button backlight problem?also with no camera shutter sound.

here is the dmesg of the backlight:

[ 3.989990] Registered led device: lcd-backlight

[ 5.335662] Registered led device: button-backlight

[ 5.335968] Registered led device: jogball-backlight

[ 5.358032] input: lightsensor-level as /devices/virtual/input/input5

[ 28.215362] turn on backlight.

it seems the backlight module is ok.

so i think maybe it is the userspace program's problem.

the beAsia rom have button backlight problem.and the VillainROM 6.2 base on eris is ok.

but the VillainROM 6.2's camera is silent.

hope some one can help me.Thanks in advances.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoonari:
looks like its an issue for rom you usiing, not .29 kernel
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miammiam:
Confirm!

backlight button don't works with Legendary Kernel #23 with Legendary 1.3.5 Rom....
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenfar:
i have try every rom possible.but with this kernel .the camera shutter sound didnt work.

also the button backlight. but the VillainROM 6.2's button light is ok.but the camera sound is also dont work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeBouse:
Same problem here.

Legendary 1.3.5 and ben#23 kernel = no button backlight.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenfar:
what about the sound when you take a picture using the rom's camera?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoonari:
works perfectly on senshero 2.1 b3

sounds of autofocus tohether with shutter, i mean.

backlight is connected to autobrightness function,so doesnt work only under bright lights,but in dark places it turns on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeBouse:
Autobrightness doesn't work on Legendary....

After a "fresh flash" of the Legendary ROM (without the ben#23 kernel) , backlight buttons works.

But then if i flash the ben#23 kernel : backlight buttons stop working , even in a dark place (a closed room for example).

So i think it comes from the kernel , and not the ROM...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] petest:
I currently have an i900 omnia. To flash my current phone it is safer to use an xp machine, it can be done on a vista setup but its not as straight forward and neither is it without risk.

Do any of you guys and gals that are interested in the Galaxy S have experience of flashing later model samsung phones and if so have they been as easy as the HTC models to flash?

It's a toss up for me between the Desire and the Galaxy but I'm going to hold fire until there's a bit more info on flashing procedures (I like messing about with ROMs and don't fancy ending up with an expensive paper weight).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AmdPhenomII:
I have had to use WinXP to flash my Omnia II (i8000), simply because Win7 wouldn't let me do it! It seems daft, yes, but if it is safer, then so be it. ;-)

[XPERIA X10 General] hi2mateen:
Hi everyone.

My xperia x10 camera doesn't flash while taking a photo. The Led light at the back is just in on state but doesn't flash. In advance settings, when I select photo light as "on" the light powers up but when I take a photo it doesn't flash as it does in Nokia N95 or Htc Desire. Does anyone else has the same problem ?
[XPERIA X10 General] Balur:
It doesn't flash, the X1 didn't flash and neither does the X10... It's a light you can enable it via the Camera menu.

I don't know what Sony has against flashes... but they have something.
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:

[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
It's not a flash.

It's a photo light.
[XPERIA X10 General] gaolinde:
I actually made my x1 led flash by one of the custom Rom but I can't recall which one
[XPERIA X10 General] uinfo:
yeah i guess you are right :)
[XPERIA X10 General] hi2mateen:
I think SE will not put a flash in the coming update
[XPERIA X10 General] Deleted member 1719473:
it isn't a OS limitation.. it's a bad implementation. Other devides with 1.5 and 1.6 have autoflash :)
[XPERIA X10 General] nonentity:
are there any workarounds out there to make the camera light flashes instead of keep shining when taking photos in dark environments, especially in a club or something.. it is quite blinding for people whom u are taking pics for and the photo turned up wif everyone frowning and wif smaller eyes as they were fighting to keep their eyes opened...
[XPERIA X10 General] lostsouls:
You can use Vignette & select auto flash. It will do a flash. But its a fked up flash
[XPERIA X10 General] goothu99:
use the vignette app
[XPERIA X10 General] nonentity:
Vignette is awesome!!! So much better than the default program... I'm getting the full version... thanks everyone for ur advise!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] lft4ded:
Sorry, that made me laugh. I haven't used Vignette but what's actually wrong with the flash it causes? Is it because the led in the X10 isn't so powerful?

I agree with everyone else though. My W810 had a flash and my C905 of course has a realer flash. :) While I was expecting one at least functionally similar to the former phone it is only listed as a photo light and behaves as such.
[XPERIA X10 General] bluebanana:
Is it me or can we only find the Demo version in the market? The full paying version seems to be not available anymore?!
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
It's because the X10's LED is only one stage (as far as we know). Most LED flashes are two stage, with a bright setting, then an ultra-bright setting for taking the actual picture. Every real cameraphone I've owned/tried worked that way. (And I've owned/tried phones with 12MP CCD lenses that double the thickness of the phone.)
[XPERIA X10 General] Miggs00:
Maybe the developers could make it now that the bootloader can be unlocked, maybe the Arc files should be ported to x10.. what do you thing, is that possible??:D:D:D
[XPERIA X10 General] milton.bain:
Hello!!

Its not limitation. That's the way it is meant to be. It is photo light not flash light. X10 has it only to see the photo in dark photography not flash capturing.! Devs are helpless because its not something with software ....its a hardware issue.

CheersS! :)

I have been searching the forums for 2 weeks and have found many people with this very same issue but no concrete solutions. I have flashed multiple ROMs, builds, radios, and spl. I had mostly been using Energy series ROMs when around 2 weeks ago after an update flash my location service was disabled. I have tested and tweaked everything I can at this point and no setting will allow my location service to work. It is very annoying as I use google maps a lot and without it, one cannot even use GPS. IF there is anyone that can solve this issue for the many of use with this problem, It would be greatly appreciated. In fact, I would be more than willing to buy them a couple of beers. I posted this here because it seems the issue is present within all of the ROMs. I have had 8 HTC WinMo devices all the way back to TMob MDA and this is easily the most frustrated I have been.

Thank you all so much for your help.

:confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !Aman!:
if u have seen ppl with same issue, u could have asked in those threads rather than opening a brand new one. and i doubt u searched properly, "my location" problem is not because of ROMs but google's location service which doesnt work for some places.
[Windows Mobile] thecrater:
Hi,

I've done research on the forum here and found that to unlock the full 576 RAM in HD2 you need two things from the TMOUS ROM. The Radio and nk.exe. I've managed to download the appropriate Radio to unlock the memory but cannot for the life of me understand how to get the nk.exe.

I am using osKitchen Kitchen v1.25 to cook my roms. It uses the following structure under the Sources folder:

EXT

MSXIPKernel

NK

OEM

Other

ROM

SYS

Replacing the NK folder in the TMOUK kitchen from the TMOUS ROM simply does not work the resultant ROM does not boot and just hangs the device.

Could one of our chefs please explain how to port the nk.exe from the US build to unlock the memory in the T-Mobile UK ROM 1.72.

Using the following 576-enabled Radio

RUU_Leo_Radio_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2

Many thanks in advance

Mod edit: SOLVED
[Windows Mobile] patensas:
For the 576MB patch you need only to replace these folders from an 2.07 or 2.02 Stock-Rom:

Rom\XIP\OEMXIPKernel\nk.exe

OEM\OEMDrivers

OEM\OEMDriversHigh

Then you need to replace again with this folder

OEM\OEMDrivers\ddi.dll

with an older Base than 2.07/2.02 (1.72 in your case is recommended)

Hi, I'm a newbie for ROM cooking, experienced cookers, please advise.

I'm using HD2/Leo phone, I learned how to use HSPL, flash a cooked ROM, so I'm start thinking of cooking the ROM my own, and what all I need is retain original 1.66 707.1 Asia WWE version of stock ROM, but only to enable 576MB RAM.

I found a kitchen, oskitchen zero 1.31, use the GUI and extracted the stock ROM, and stop here, because I don't know how to cook the ROM...

Experienced cookers, please advise, thanks in advance!!!

hello fellow chefs

i am trying to make a verry smooth rom in dutch for soem friends of mine

it is working out quite well but i want to enable the 576 ram tweak

if i use the tmous 2.13.531.1 as base rom do i still need to change those folders?

thanks in advance

sorry to ask but coul some one upload the files to make the 576 mb tweak?

thanks in advance:D

All you need is in the 2.13 TMOUS.

then i dont get it:-o

i installed Leo_RADIO_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08 on the phone but no 576 mb tweak:S
[Windows Mobile] pkoper:
Using 2.13 base you should have 576 anyway.

What did you change?
[Windows Mobile] miniterror:
to be honest i have no idea why it aint working

when you got the settings tab and scroll down to device info

there you choose hardware info it should also say 576?

the thing i did is dump the tmous 2.13 rom with ervius

then i took out the 0409 folder in oem and replaced it with the the one i use for blackstone(maybe the fault is here) then i replaced the ext packages with the ones i use i blackstone kitchen(compared wich are unnesacary and left those out) and then recooked the rom

i also decided today that i am gonna rebuild the entire kitchen from scratch without copy pasting the 0409 folder in oem and set everything up from there and remake the initflash.dat the way i want it:p

i havent changed the ddi.dll so that might be the trick why it aitn working

on side note:

wish i whasnt in the middle of moving and had the actual device for a few days:p

that would definetly make things easier for me:p

ps: what do you think is the best base to use to build the kitchen on with ervius kitchen

tmous 3.14? it would sound logical that newer is better:p although there are differences between the american and european leo's

Hi all !

I'm trying to cook a personal custom rom I just want to change the build from 6.5 to 6.5.X of the official htc 3.14 italian rom. I would also like to enable the 576 mb of ram. I have already installed on the phone the 2.15 radio, what files I need to change inside the kitchen ( I use oskitchen ) ? I have a t-mobile.uk hd2 ( I have bought it from england.

so I think that it's the european version )
[Windows Mobile] NIKOSXRI:
Take the nk.exe(from oemxipkernel) from 2.13 tmous.I think also the nk.exe from 3.14 tmous should be ok but I havent try it.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Could someone just post an attachment with the modules needed to enable the extra RAM? I'm sure it would make it easier for everyone. I'd do it, but I don't have an hd2.
[Windows Mobile] NIKOSXRI:
The way that the European Leo device gets the 576 ram enabled is the following:

Replace the nk.exe with the nk.exe from TMOUS rom (in Sources\Devices\HTC Leo\Profiles\default\OEMXIPKernel folder for oskitchen, or \ROM\LEO\build number\OEMXIPKERNEL for ervius kitchen).

I attach the 2.13 tmous and 3.14 tmous nk.exe modules.Both do the trick or enable the 576 ram (for those who believe it).

Personally in my Leo I didnt see any difference with the 576 ram enabled.

No luck here either, it drives me crazy that I have contacts for people in 5 different places and I'm too lazy to manually merge them. The damn thing should just automerge and sync them all to google.
