Can't take a rom backup in GT-I5503

Hi John000: I have rooted my GT i5503. installed rom manager. When i click to download clockworkmod to take a rom back up, it show the following phone models to select and confirm.

1. Huawei Pulse Mini,

2. Dell Streak,

3. Huawei Pulse,

4. Commtiva z71 (Boston, Blaze, and more)

5. Geeksphone ONE,

6. Spice MI700, Commtiva Link N700 and more)

7. Huawei Ascend.

But in that I can't find the GT I5503. I have installed titanium also for backup. But it requires busybox. I can't find it. Is there any other way to take a rom backup?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
Search on Stericson on market, its hes creation, Also known as dev of metamorph and more,

Stericson.busybox.apk is mine kalled ^^
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
Kernel=

Hey it says we already got d kernel:

KernelVerision:

2.6.32.9-perf

typon.hwang@set-04¤2
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
Clockworkmod has no support for g5. Inorder to install busybox u can download busybox installer by stericson. If u cant find it in market then u can download the apk from http://www.4shared.com/file/FbVL2cIM/stericsonbusybox.htm and install. It will then automatically download busybox.

For using titanium just click on problems ? Button . It will ask whether to download busy box, just tap yes do it, and busy box will be downloaded.

now u can use titanium.

Eu próprio, fora as coisas habituais, "contatos", "Celular"...

Sim, é a principal vantagem, mas posso-lhe dizer, que a estabilidade é fantástica e o telemóvel mais rápido. As APN têm que ser configuradas, se pretender MMS e Internet móvel. Atenção algumas aplicações não podem ser movidas para o cartão, pois desaparecem da lista de programas (mas continuam instalados) isso é um problema do TouchWiz, o navegar da Samsung no telemóvel, pode ser resolvido instalando outro, como Launcher PRO etc..

Não necessita acesso "root", é simples se for executado correctamente.

No tutorial aconselham a fazer reposição de definições, "reset" mas não faça, espere primeiro pelo resultado final, se detectar alguma anomalia, então faça.

Myself, outside the usual stuff, "contacts", "Mobile" ...

Yes, it is the main advantage, but I can tell you, that stability is fantastic and the phone faster. The APN must be configured, if you want MMS and mobile Internet. Warning some applications can not be moved to the card or it disappears from the list of programs (but still installed) this is a problem with TouchWiz, can be solved by installing another as Launcher PRO etc...

You do not need "root" access, it's simple if executed correctly.

In the tutorial is advised to reset, if any failure, then do it.

Kernel open source?

Guys i downloaded the kernel from android open source,

got into recoverymode with my phone,

before i went in to recoverymode i did one thing,

renamed the package to update.zip

Now its says applying multi csc

Install from sdcard

finding update package

opening update package,

Now i waiting to see if it sill do anything or not :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
Then what happened.

Btw i cant enter the recovery mode using btn combination,i just adb or terminal to get torecovery

I used vol down & home & power it boots normal,so whats the exact btn cimbination 4 recovery mode. did u try deodexing g5. I tried but its failing.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
The thing that happened was installation aborted

You rooted your phone.

If not root it and download terminal emulator.

Then install the terminal emulator.

Write su press enter

it will popup allow permissionsion.

Press yes.

Write su *again*

The $ will change to #

Then type reboot recovery

Now you entered the recover mode :-D
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
No i only want to know the btn combination. i know the other way using terminal.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] ValdoNunes:
se calhar vou esperar pelo português de portugal ou esperar ate que nao possa guardar mais apps no telemovel, e depois logo vejo se preciso mesmo de atualizar...

obrigado pela ajuda!

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] hazzacanary:
motofoca, when do you think a multi-touch batfix is coming out? also, does batfix change the performance of your device massively, and can it be flashed using odin? does it require factory reset? Where do I download it?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] FDAD:
De nada, antes o telemóvel desligava aleatoriamente, depois que instalei a nova versão, nunca mais.

Foi um prazer ajudar :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
There is on combination for that. I tried he just tellts you the download mode. we must go from other way
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
It shouldn't do slow down the phone. The battery should stay longer and not make any loose on the performance. Why the battery time is short is because we got many apps running in the background. and the MT isn't done yet. And flash with odin I've got no idea :-]
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] nikhilsamre:
Any progress of getting multi touch in G5??
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] flyfingersfly:
sorry if this has been asked before but do i need to do a hard reset after installing batfix2.0.7?

because when i do (and i've tried twice with the same result), it goes to the screen with the triangle and exclamation point.

all the instructions i've read say do a hard reset after flashing though.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] kill3r000:
... press the menu button (first button from left) and you will se the menu to reset.

I've chosen all the options there, but FOR ME, when it showed the menu, was just as it was left before, so i presume, all Motafoca's versions couldn't be restored to initial settings. Worked, though, on untouched Froyo and 2.1.

So, if it works for you, great. For me, is still a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] MrFrem82:
It's a bug in motafoca's version. It's documented on the wiki.

You have to hard reset using adb. These are the comands:

adb shell rm -r /data/*
adb shell rm -r /cache/*
adb reboot
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] kill3r000:
Thanks so much! I'll use it when i get home this evening. Hope it works!

L.E. - It really worked (after i understood the business with ADB, commands, etc :eek: ). Thank you i have such a great phone now (it was before, but this time's 10x better!)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
Multitouch

people say they currently working on it, i dont think they suceed, the asks for more people so i dont think so, ill think when samsung release the froyo 2.2

we will get multitouch :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
RE UNLOCK!

why wont you unlock your: Samsung GT-I5500 (Vodafone RO locked) ?? :P
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] steelbreeze:
Hey guyz. I have installed the motafoca v2.0.7 froyo. My battery is emptying like the sand in the hour glass. I had read somewhere in this thread that deleting the batterystat.bin file resets the stats and the battery comes back to normal. I searched for the file all over in the root folder but couldn't find it(using Root Explorer). I have also tried draining the battery around 3-4 times and charging it to the full again. But that doesn't seem to work. Does any of you have the same problem or a work around may be. By the way, I am also using setcpu right now.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] MrFrem82:
do you hard reset your phone after flashing 2.0.7?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] ValdoNunes:
tenho reparado agora que o telemovel nas apps as vezes diz uma mensagem sem razão nenhuma a dizer que a app vai ser forçada a encerrar... se calhar vou ter de atualizar para resolver este problema :S
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] alvis_do:
batterystats.bin is in /data/system/ :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] steelbreeze:
Yes, I have done a hard reset after the flashing.

Does deleting the batterystats.bin file have any positive effect on the battery usage?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] nitramgmartin:
Want to ask a new question........... what is the requirement for google goggles, why can't it be installed in our phone ?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] nikhilsamre:
don't for some reason it market doesn't show up with google goggles, better download the apk..
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] taroy:
open root explorer, go to data, then system.you'll see it right away.. long press the batt stats bin and click delete.. after that close root explorer until you're on home. just restart your g5. that's it..
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] kill3r000:
How??? Please tell me if you know. I've searched all the internet for 2 months now, cannot find s@#t. I'm under contract with Vodafone. It costs me 300 $ to make it free :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] nikhilsamre:
Forget about the multi touch, what about the compass problem? I want that to work properly.. Can't we do anything about it, i mean is it a hardware problem or software?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
1.st why u aint able to find it, it may be for our phone,

or its aint avaible in our countries.

2.nd it may work on google nexus phone only or phone with better , ill try to install it :P
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
Google Googles

yes it works :D
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] flyfingersfly:
thanks! missed that on their wiki.

i skipped the the hard reset and went ahead and converted to Ext2, effectively doing a hard reset anyway.

so far so good. the phone has been running with data enabled (and on 3G) for 24 hours now, with regular use, and still has 55% batt left. the I5500LUYJP2 with SetCPU could only do 1 day and was out. the original I5503DXJG5 the phone came with was good for just 12 hours or so.

many thanks motofoca!
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
RE UNLOCK!

Man i used some codes when i wanted to unlock the phone,

it was an old samsung vodafone locked , but i got it for free,

:) http://www.mobiles.in/download/samsung-i5500-galaxy-5-unlock-codes.html
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] kill3r000:
1. I've tried the site, but it shows me Nokia 8110 codes. Searched the site for i5500... nothing.

2. Tried all codes possible for Samsung phones... still nothing. Pretty sure that Android uses other codes (inputs on keyboard differs from other platforms used by them - WM, propietary, etc.). I'll wait for free unlock to be shown over the net (not sites charging you)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
Re unlock :d

Then search samsung android unlock sim card pattern :P
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] colcm:
Hello,

I have the same problem with battery life. I opened Root Explorer and I searched batterystats.bin but for me /data/ folder is empty. Can you help?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] steelbreeze:
As said earlier, the batterystats.bin file is in data/systen folder
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
WOOOAAAGH!

Did you missed something?

data/system, not only in system ;)

Its In data/system

And what you shall do dont ask me i dont use the batfix :)

Hey Lets start to Mod THINS! :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] cpdbolinho:
goggles..

The google Goggles need the Auto Focus feature in camera.. Since our camera dont have a good quality neither autofocus, the app dont appear on market =D

BUT work's "not with quality"...

=D
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
WooooT!

HEY: I Searched for Kernel In Android Froyo 2.2 USA Found /sys/Kernel, is this a help to us ;)

I Have no idea where the touch point,s and celebration is selected but :

Touchwiz30Launcher.apk

And Touchwiz30Launcher.odex

Is this may the files we want to get multitouch for =
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] colcm:
Yes I know. In my phone I don't have this folder /data/system (motafoca v2.0.7 Froyo)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] steelbreeze:
Is there anything different that you do to get such great battery life? Because I have done the same thing that you just said(flashed v2.0.7 and then converted to ext2 effectively doing a hard reset). Is there a need for a hard reset even after the ext2 conversion?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] MrFrem82:
Yeah, i confirm this. It works, not with good quality, but enough for a simple use.

Obviusly you have to download tha apk. Try google it
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
Google googles

The apk was posted here, so no need to search,

And its easy to use, well the apps is not the best app for me , couse i dont really need it,

so, but it works, for galaxy 5, :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] snkmad:
How do yo get the APK file from market?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
APK's From Downloaded files from market?

How i got em.

If u goot rooted phone you will be able to get it, IF NOT IT WONT WORK!

1.st Root your phone (If Not Rooted!)

2.nd Download FILE MANAGER! ( NOT FROM MARKET, IT COSTS! (IF U LIKE THE APP BUY IT!)

3.rd Let Superuser Permissions Allow Root Explorer (Just open the app)

4.th locate to Data/app and you see all the apk files, (Downloaded files in installation format)

Cheers :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] kill3r000:
No luck whatsoever. Thanks anyhow for the support and time. Waiting for someone to provide some free-of-charge unlocking method (good luck to me and others) :P
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
RE UNLOCK!

how come i found Codes for my samsung (1st 3G phone)

and the codes, i didnt even had a card x)'but unlocked it anyway

Try Unlock sim pattern without sim inserted.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
O.o

Damn, we need to get multitouch :(

Also better performence and batteryfix, better than batfix, omg my LG Cookie was better then this >____<
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] kill3r000:
If you are telling me to search the net for "Unlock sim pattern" already done that... no luck. If not, please provide, if you can, detailed information/steps on how to/where to find/etc.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
Sigh!

You tried to search, unlock galaxy 5 without simcard inserted, i did that with my phone took me hours to fix it, worth it (not galaxy5)

And it wont work if you change firmware ???
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] kill3r000:
I tried Froyo, Motafoca and official 2.1 update1. No luck for 5500. There is nowhere anything about unlocking for free this phone. Maybe other Samsung yes. This no. Only sites asking you for money in return. Tried Captivate's solution... No. Tried SGS's... No. Nothing works (yet). Maybe none of the people here or on the other sites weren't interested in unlocking it (~98% i see, they bought it already unlocked. I'm under contract and have to pay).

2.0.7. message background bitmaps?

Hi,

Does anyone know how to change the messagewindow backgrounds?

The current ones in 2.0.7 make the messages harder to read.

I want to replace them with single color ones.

Btw: very nice job on 2.0.7

Note: Apps2sd went terribaly wrong because of "not enough sd card space left"

Had to reflash. All apps gone. Thank god for Titanium Backup ;)

@SWEETAMI That's the launcher application. lol :D
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] steelbreeze:
Did u do anything different to get such good battery life? Because I followed the same procedure-flashed 2.0.7,converted to ext2 but I am still getting a pathetic battery life(just around 15-20 hrs on full charge). Also,does deleting the batterystats.bin file have any effect on the battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
i saw they made an app for galaxy s to unlock, this was if u rooted it O.o

:O
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
OH!

Oh ok xP i thought it may be that, but it sad touchwiz so i went unsure,,

but i posted the usa kernel u seen it O.o

Batterytime

Well I seen big differences of using battery,

on the froyo i was on market for 30 min, and installed many apps.

battery drained 1/4 - 1/5

when i was closing all apps, and the battery was full charged i listened to music half a day, and battery was 1/4 - 1/5 drained.

The only thing its bad in 2.1 its not a taskmanager built in, u need to download it :)

Hm btw, anyone know where the Keyboard is located in system ?

as apk?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
@SWETTAIMI

keyboard app is in system/app/AxT9IME.apk.

What r u gonna do with it ?.

if u want u can install gingerbread kybd its available in market.

Since AxT9IME.apk is odex ,if u mess up with it ,it wont be showing up again.. Or force close.

That means we have to first deodex the rom and after that we can put or replace any app from any rom provided hw supports.

I tried deodexing but wasn't 100% success.u know what its possible to install leaked honeycomb music app this way
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
Damn in lg optimus its called lgkeyboard xO here so complicated name O.o

i want to try to add more language packages for Froyo USA edition, i dont want to wait untill europe is released, they just working on asia 2.2 so hell no i aint waiting, they released 2 froyo for asia 0 for europe
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] maxidimov:
DEODEXing a ROM is removing the .odex files that are made by the phone to increase the speed of the application. When you deodex a ROM, you're deleting the .odex files generated from god-knows-whos phone. After flashing that ROM, the first startup is longer, because the Dalvik cache is rebuilding the .odex files, but in such a way that they actually speed up the applications on your phone. :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] satyavanshi:

Hey guyz. I was trying to change the battery icon on the 2.0.7v(coz I dun like the circular icon). Successfully installed the new icons using push and pull on the framework-res.apk file. Rebooted the phone and could see the new icon. Only thing is, my battery charge was at 88% and the icon was showing up as 100%. I thought this could be because of the battery_charge.xml file in the drawable folder. Figured out, I didn't take the backup of that file and now the icon is missing. Could anyone help me with their framework-res.apk file so that I could extract the xml files from there? Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
Check this
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] steelbreeze:
Check what?

I don't want to reflash my G5 as I haven't taken a backup of the apps. Please help me with the framework-res.apk file from the system/framework directory :(
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
Ops the attachement was not finished
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] steelbreeze:
Oh!! Please upload it as soon as possible. Its urgent. Thanks.:(:(

Hey John000,

I am getting this error on the adb sdk prompt

"C:\>adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

failed to copy 'framework-res.apk' to '/system/framework/framework-res.apk': No

space left on device"

And the device is stuck in boot loop. Any workarounds?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
Yeah me too got this error once , its because the internal memory gets filled out each time u push something, rather than deleting the old framework the pull fills the existing space .

So reflash is the only option . But u may take backup of apps using QtADB , a system application

https://sourceforge.net/projects/qt...w/QtADB_0.7.6_windows7_with_libs.zip/download

http://qtadb.wordpress.com/download/

just try this..

Sorry ... if its boot loop then u have to reflash.

If nothing is working then do this last option.

1.Reflash

2. then when system boots it ask for wipe cahce , reboot syste ........here dont do anything , just press reboot system now.

3. so your system wont be reset and apps will be there,

thereafter take titanium backup and then do factory reset.

Hope this helps.

Remember dont wipe cache or do factory reset in recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] steelbreeze:
HHmmm... I reflashed my phone. But do I have to convert the ext2 thing again? Because my phone is working now. Also, have u tried changing the battery icon?

The new icons are showing up, but not the correct ones.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] steelbreeze:
As u said, the push command populates the space instead of replacing the original file, Can we use Root Explorer to delete the new copies of file that are created? Btw, I'm attaching the icons I am trying to install for your reference
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
you have to do ext2 thing again.

I have successfully changed the battery icon.u need to only change the pngs. dont mess with xmls.
