This method works great, but by using SQLite editor and ROOTExplorer, you can change this setting directly on your phone using method #3 from the captivate thread without copying and pasting.

With SQLite editor and root explorer installed:

1) Open Root Explorer...

2) Navigate to data...

3) Then select data again (the top of the screen should read "/data/data")...

4) scroll down to "com.android.providers.settings" and select that line...

5) Once you get there,select "databases"

6) When that opens, you should see the "Settings.db" line with the SQLite editor symbal beside it.

This means that you can edit values in this area directly. Select the "settings.db" line...

7) Once open, click the "secure" line...

8) Look for " Install_non_market_apps"...

9) Tap this line and hit the menu button and select "edit field"...

10) Scroll to the right and change the value from "0" to "1" and hit save.

11) Close root explorer and reboot.

12) Enjoy your Non market apps!

( I used this method on my X10 running 1.6 firmware)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] batman_112:
Or you can just flash the 2.1 global firmware.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Narvarr:
True, but doing this makes it easier to switch out custom ROMs because you can use titanium backup to restore your phones settings and apps from the SD card. If you try to do a restore without this feature turned on, it will give you the "Blocked can not install non market app" message. I couldn't get the 2.1 flash to work on my phone and it took me 2 hours to unbrick my phone!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Lord aLaL:
Thank you for this, my AT&T phone has been shell rooted etc. for about a month now and I still couldn't install non-market apps making it pointless... But now the floodgates are open >:)

sorry noob to x10, so just by flashing the 2.1 global, the install non market apps in applications is available?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Narvarr:
Yep. I was finally able to re-flash mine and I'm loving the 2.1 over the 1.6. Much faster and WAY more features.

If the desire runs Android on internal memory then wouldnt that be a good base to build an android rom that would replace the WinMo Rom that we currently use? i'm not a big fan of having to run it from a memory card. I know i'll probably get flammed for this but i tried searching for this already and came up with nothing directly related.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lilchicano:
Just because one phone does something doesn't mean another phone can do the same.

But to somewhat answer your question, I remember alooong while back that someone said that it would actually run alittle slower if it was internal instead from the sd card.

I also remember nrg once made a super bare bones rom for android that has absolutley nothing but basically the interface. No apps and stuff.

does it bother you having to load it from sd? i mean, seeing how far along weve come with this, i would think it being on the sd card for the moment wouldnt really be too much of an imminent issue.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Prostheta:
Hi all - I hope this is the best forum for this thread as I wasn't sure which one at first.:)

Essentially, I had my Galaxy S stolen a few weeks back. I bought a replacement (Android is fantastic) and found that the stolen phone is still phoning home it's location to Latitude. My provider has banned the phone from the networks in Finland by the IMEI, so it's obviously doing do by WiFi. I have Latitude History enabled ("https-www-google-com-latitude-apps-history-view" for those who are interested, link malformed as I can't post them yet!) so i've a reasonable history of where it has been calling home from.

As far as the history goes, I am aware that geolocated WiFI hotspots Google uses aren't always accurate especially with hotspots that have moved or are mobile so I can't exactly go door knocking immediately.:D

Now, I am 99% sure of who stole the phone. I don't know him personally however. I know from "my network" that he lives in a specific area of Pori (city near here) called Ulvila, and Latitude has consistently reported a fixed location in Ulvila at a specific address. I presume that since the location is unmoving, it's a previously geolocated network hotspot. The surnames on the postboxes don't name him specifically though....perhaps he's moved from there since it was snagged, is visiting there or perhaps lives with someone with a different surname?

He works in a bar here in Luvia, and I suspect that he carries it around with him. Given that the phone is latching onto unsecured networks in range and dialling home to Latitude, I am thinking that setting up an unsecured wireless access point with my replacement Galaxy S would allow me to nail him by sitting in the car park of the bar waiting for the stolen phone to latch on....

Considering this lowlife stole my phone (and denied it to my face a while back) I'm kind of enjoying this lofi detective game, because let's face it....doing this through tech is fun!

The other option would be to drag a laptop, wireless router and 240v/12v inverter there to create an access point, but that's just not as fun as doing it with something smaller than a CD case is it?

Apologies for length. I'm hoping that a positive result from this will create a great anecdote for future use. :D

Oh, and having two Galaxy S's.

Hello all,

Trying to restore my sd card to working order and im kinda stumped.Ive googled the problem and cant seem to get anything to work.

This happened after flashing cm6 blue rom and this was the first rom ive ever flashed. I used the universal androot method to root and rom manager to flash the rom. The rom works beautifully and I was able to go into recovery and flash ggaps even though phone isnt mounting to sd card.When I go to sd card in settings and click mount it say preparing sd card and then reverts back to safe to remove sd card. Any help would be great! thanks

Do you have a SD card reader in your PC? Have you tried taking the SD card out of your phone, putting it into your PC, and formatting it? Copy everything that's on it to your desktop first, then format it, then recopy the files back to the card after the format. Then try putting it back in your phone. That may solve your problem.

Now, I actually made this as an intended bootscreen quite a long time ago for my own use when I began using VillainROM as my first 2.1 ROM. I never properly finished it, and rather than have it sit on my computer I wondered if anyone else would like to do the honours.

It's pretty simple, I kind of created a mascot for the Villain team, and tried to make it look like he was running towards the screen. Might be a bit dumb, but I liked the effect at the time, and others might like it too. It isn't yet in the form of a working bootscreen, but if anyone could help me finish it it would be much appreciated. I will post the gif of the animation here, but I have the PST file I used to create it as well :)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
"danger detected" message is for SPL, It checks for the SPL first and you have danger spl installed.

By default CM6 does not mount ext partition as it does not support a2sd right now. sdext creates a mount point for ext partition. a2sd internally does that but as you are not using a2sd this was not done.

Watch out...newbie in the room

Okay, you are going to love this.... I'm sorry if this is too long but I hope you can help a newbie trying to learn this stuff!

I am REALLY new to all this, and did a Root and Rom Update as the Unlockr.com videos taught me, to get CM6. And then also added the gapps file because I read a thread that that was needed to get gmail and the market on my phone. Once rebooted, everything worked ok but slow. Then I noticed that my gmail wasn't syncing, and then it started to force close. So I did a wipe and loaded CM5 because I saw on a thread that that was faster for the G1. With all of this, after reading your thread and suggestion, I am wondering...

1. Is CM6 slow for you?

2. Should I have loaded gapps? IS that how to get gmail and should it sync automatically? If not, is there a way to make it?

3. Should I stick with CM5 or try CM6 following these suggestions??

And big ones.... I wish there was a website somewhere with definitions to all the terms and apps used. Lol.. I Google all of them but don't always find anything that actually describes what they are.

Swap and app2sd were mentioned on the video instructions for loading a new ROM but do they automatically come in the ROM zip files? Because in the video they didn't load them separately. They partition the card "for" them, but don't show installing them. Obviously I assume App2sd is a program to store your apps on your sd card. Is this something that I SHOULD install? Is swap something I should install?

And what is a CustomMTD Patch? Annnnnnd, what is fastboot??

I know this is a lot of questions... I decided to ask them all here because they pertain to this thread because I'm wondering if I should do this...

Thanks for any and all answers! :confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:
I would assume that you have a G1, and my answer is based on that assumption. If you have different phone let me know.

1. Is CM6 slow for you?

If I don't use a2sd and swap, answer is yes. I install lot of apps, with cutomMTD it works fine in starts but slows down after some time. With a2sd and swap it is worth a try.​

2. Should I have loaded gapps? IS that how to get gmail and should it sync automatically? If not, is there a way to make it?

CM roms does not distribute google apps with the rom as its not legal. So if you want gapps then yes that file has to be flashed. CM6 can be run without gapps, but you won't get gmail, market etc..once you have gmail it should sync automatically.​

3. Should I stick with CM5 or try CM6 following these suggestions??

CM5 is quite stable rom and runs fine. Choice is yours...CM6 is in initial stages, but is good too...I go with CM5 for my daily driver as a2sd is not officially supported. It will be there in CM6.1....​

And what is a CustomMTD Patch? Annnnnnd, what is fastboot??

G1 was build with a low memory and the way internal memory has been partition todays rom can't fit into it. That's why dangerSPL, but there is a risk involved in installing dangerSPL. If you don't follow the instruction you can brick your phone. CustomMTD is a safe method. This increase the size of data partition so you can install more apps internally. link for that thread is in first post.​

a2sd is a way to store apps on sdcard, sdcard needs to be partitioned to support that..step 1 - e in my guide. That's a manual way of doing it. If you have AmanRA recovery then it will have a menu option for that. Most of the rom supports it automatically, so if you have sd card partition then rom will automatically do that.

CM6 does not support a2sd so it has to done in different way. CM5 supports it but in settings - application - a2sd has to be checked on to move your apps to sdcard.​

Swap is kind of extra memory to help running the applications. if you run multiple application together then you need swap on CM5 and CM6.​

Yes, it is a G1.

Are there any features in CM6 that aren't in CM5, or is it faster than CM5 with the ap2sd & swap?

I believe I partitioned the sd card when I loaded the CM6 ROM.

So I'd like to try the CM6 with the ap2sd, swap and the CustomMTD. I do have the AmanRA recovery, but not sure about how to select the ap2sd. :(

Any chance you would tell me how to get the ap2sd, swap and CustomMTD on the phone if I have already Flashed CM6 on there?

Thanks again, regardless. The info you gave me helped me learn a little more. I'm still a bit confused about what fastboot is though. But I will just keep at it and keep learning! :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1sanju:

CM6 is based on froyo, latest version of android...its good and yes speed is comparable. Also CM has added new stuff in it, like fully customizable power bar and other stuff...Full changelog is there in CM6 thread.​

I believe I partitioned the sd card when I loaded the CM6 ROM.

So I'd like to try the CM6 with the ap2sd, swap and the CustomMTD. I do have the AmanRA recovery, but not sure about how to select the ap2sd. :(

For CM6 a2sd is through script, instruction is in first post. I have included customMTD also there. So if you follow the guide, you will be having customMTD, a2sd and swap...swap require an partition on your sdcard, if you don't have that partition then it will ask for swap file.​

Any chance you would tell me how to get the ap2sd, swap and CustomMTD on the phone if I have already Flashed CM6 on there?

you can wipe and start over again, first post should be good for you.​

Thanks again, regardless. The info you gave me helped me learn a little more. I'm still a bit confused about what fastboot is though. But I will just keep at it and keep learning! :)
