app2sd moves app to ext2 partition on your sdcard, and ext2 partition is not visible.

so u dont see your apps listed in sdcard. If u want to check working of apps2sd then use titanium backup.Run titanium backup and in the overview u can see app2sd with the used and available memory.

app2sd changes the default install location to ext2 so that the android thinks ext2 is its internal memory and install there.

An alternative way to check working of app2sd is by installing an app and then connect your phone to pc and go for mass storage, if that app is available at mass storage time then app2sd is working otherwise not.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] magnitude09:
Thanks for the quick reply.

1.Installed 2.0.8

2.Ran installation.bat in recovery mode. After this message "EXT2 FORMATING COMPLETE CONTINUING APP2SD" it says "mount:device or resource busy" and stucked then i have to reboot my phone manually.

3.Check the Sdcard(8gb) on external card reader using minitool partition it showing three partition ext2, swap, fat32.

4.As you told me the alternative way. I installed the applications and found nothin in adroid_secure folder for mass storage.

5.When i manually move the app to SDCARD the application showing in android_secure folder for mass storage.

Please guide me i m in the middle of partitioning.

Answer

yepp i recahched the data to non ext2, trough a 3 h's progress, because the phone wasnt directly recognized :)

well i dont gonna use ut, since froyo 2.2 will come soon for europe we can make it more reliable when european from kies camed out,

NOT me either, but it will come any day/week, last month is march, then they should been released it, (if u get what i mean,) it will probebly be released anyday, try connect phone everyday and see if its an update,
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
HEY!

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] BenEadir:
Hi All,

Samsung Galaxy S owner here with Darky's ROM 9.2 installed etc and many hours experience rooting and lagfixing etc.

Getting a Galaxy 5 for my son and before I give it to him I'd like to set it up properly with the best ROM, get rid of any Bloatware Vodafone will have installed etc etc.

If I have to I'll read through all 1,600 posts to get up to speed on this phone but if there are any kind souls on here who'd be kind enough to give me a list of recommended things to do with it out of the box and apps to install (with links etc) I'd very much appreciate it ;)

Cheers,

Ben

Hi

i've just flash my phone with motafoca's firmware, but i can't hard reset my phone.

Help me please!

sorry for my english
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] foliasis:
Alright, first go through the flashing procedure carefully at the 1st PAGE of this thread.

Next, THE BEST & ONLY FIRMWARE available for G5 is Motafoca's 2.0.8b

Now head over to http://wiki.g5devteam.com/index.php?title=Release

and download all of the tools provided there and the FIRMWARE 2.0.8b STOCK That is because the GINGET THEME is corrupt.

then go to http://wiki.g5devteam.com/index.php?title=Full_install/update_2.0.8_or_above_install_procedure

there you can find the things you are ought to do with Motafoca's firmware. And proceed as written its very precise and comprehensive. And use the EXT2 Format (it's FAST)

However there is a new version 2.0.9 but it is in the Alpha stage which i m using right now and its cleaner and faster.

Check out and see if you need any other support,

Hope it helps :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
Answer ^^

i did and it sucked, as weve been told before galaxy 5 aint good when its overclocked, it getting fast for 3 sec, or less, then it start's to lagg, no need to overclock it, its fast enough, if it went slow, u got to many running apps.

u tried to get into bootloop mode and wipe all data, try to reflash if not working,

reflash again, take debugmode, take check all boxes that cames up when u took check debug mode,

and then try to reset, or hardreset u need a code, >___>

// Sya Im not a owner of galaxy 5 anymore!

Hope you guys gonna love the phone as i did, its a good phone,

:) // Peace!
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] jaidee:
2.0.9 Alpha has been released.

Check out g5devteam.com..

Can't wait to get home and flash my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] fury-s12:
im not sure if this has been listed before but

can someone list the pros and cons of upgrading this phone to 2.2 apart from general running speed i havent been able to find much pros for doing this as theres no multitouch and we lose swype (from what ive read anyway)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] foliasis:
OK I flashed with 2.0.9alpha

IT'S FAST AND IT'S CLEAN.

But MyFiles and Gallery have been removed.

So can someone please upload GALLERY. APK AND .ODEX FILES ...please?

"Samsung Android Secret Code" for all phones?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] BenEadir:
Thanks Foliasis, really appreciate the info.

Can I clarify a few things with you?

My first step is to follow the Flashing Guide on page one. What exactly will be flashed if I follow that guide? Is it a stock firmware or what? I see the latest firmwares listed on the 1st page with 2.2 versions for Asia and the US. I'm in Europe (Ireland) so if I have to make a choice which firmware should I go with?

The 2nd step you recommend is to then flash Motafoca's 2.0.8b custom ROM. Does this overwrite the firmware flashed in step one?

I've downloaded the ADB Toolbox and the Theme Changer tools abut I'm unable to extract either part 1 or 2 of the 2.0.8b STOCK firmware. I'm using IZarc and have no problems with other files. I'm able to download the files OK but they are not extracting, I'm getting volume and bad block errors. Is there another source for the two files?

Also, do I really need to have Kies installed to flash via ODIN?

Ben
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
Answer's

if you mean trough kies, and u live in europe you got to wait, its not out yet,

we havnt multitouch yet, samsung wont fix it, belive in motafoca, and out phone does only support the "INBUILT" Swype, never verisions aint avaible!

(Screen to small)

ehm i dont know why they did that now the phone is as htc, they dont got my files, get astro file manager, and u can acess files!

, ill prefer, reflash to 2.0.8b and take adb pull ./system/app

(I think i may got the files)

;)

dude that can take a long time, go back to motafoca 2.0.8b, take recovery mode ant take make rfs system ;)

worked for me :)

whats the secret? they aint got anything secret of galaxy 5. :)

Ben you must have kies installed, orelse the drivers wont be recognized when the phone is turned of ;) thats the bad thing ;)

the 2.0.8b is working, i extracted it with winrar,

try to re-download the files ;)

and yes it do overwrite the old one, languages and keyboard will now work if you flash from european 2.1, if u flashed with motafoca from 2.1 europe u need to hard reset after flashing ;)

I bought an I5500 yesterday, and I have a few questions:

+Do I have to format the battery? It drains really quick, it lasted around 20 hours ( I only used it like 1 hour)

+When is coming out the official 2.2 ?

+I can't even use the android market, Youtube, gmail or any other applications that require intenet connection, I am getting some connection errors (The internet browser does work fine)

Help me guys! Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
Answer's

1. u cant format battery, only expand the life time, "kill draining processes!.

2. some new features, maybe new look, and not much more. maybe som bug in compass also,

you need to be registered, and u need to use "apn, or Vpn, go to wireless and connection's. u need to fix it :)!

How about battery and speed compare to motofoca 2.0.8b ? I use lastest froyo europe (..JX9) and battery last for a day :(
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
Its same as European froyo, except changed ugly icons, included reboot option,

removed unwanted softwares...etc etc..

Battery should be as good as European Froyo.

Just try out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do a reset before flashing and it might take 10 minutes for the first boot.

Later boots will be quick.The system will speed up in 2 or 3 boots.

So far haven't found and bugs or problems

-Dont do anything else and reboot your phone

-Just go to your preferite gps application and wait for 2 minuts, it should fix now

(remember that it's a cheap phone, you need a clear sky view to get a fast fix)

It's a BUG that affect this device: if you shut down your phone whit the gps module down, at the reboot it won't fix, no matters what you do.

You have to manually turn on gps and reboot... a pain in the ...

So if you have the "fix problem", try this BEFORE going to assistance.

One other problem that can affect this device is that the wifi receiver can't find any network unless you place the phone at one meter off the router... the dealer who sold me the phone, told me that many devices had this problem so:

when you buy it, just try the wireless before ;)

hi there,

I also have this GPS problem (normally gps = off) and when i start progams like runkeeper and my tracks these programs do not see the gps-signal, even when i start gps before starting the program.

i checked today: after shutdown, with gps enabled, and starting up with gps, the programs work fine.

my questions:

is everyone experiencing this problem?

is there a solution?

does android 2.2. fix this problem? (not available as upgrade via KIES in Holland btw :()
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] SWEATTAIMI:
Answer

yes, 2.1 is still better, and the other is legit but not official

good job +1 for that

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] foliasis:
First download reboot_fix from the link given below

http://www.multiupload.com/34CP7R6IRH and extract the contents in the same folder as adb tools (download it if you already dont have ... you can download it from wiki.g5devtem.com)

Then connect your phone in "USB Debugging" mode. NOTE: connect it in the normal mode not Recovery mode.

Then execute reboot_fix.bat

Your phone will reboot and the GINGER theme will be replaced by Default Froyo theme. The reboots are because of the corrupt Ginger theme.

Let us know if it helped you

as i was testing the versions from original samsug's firmware to motafoca's 2.0.9 wifi lock up changed. at first it seemed it is just access point issue (b/g/n), but it seems it is g5 (firmware) issue. in all the versions i used static wifi app from the market. it can save multiple static adresses. as soon i started to map access points with the app the issue seems to resolve. wifi is suddenly locking (at least on the access points i've tried until now). hope this helps :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] John000:
Wifi is working.Even Motafoca tested the wifi and he said its working well.

Nobody else reported this, I personally tested the wifi and it works.

Sorry I don't know y its working in yours , may be its a problem with configuring the home wifi.

Sorry John, I have wifi problems, I've changed my my router from b,g,n and it connects initially but after putting the phone to sleep I loose the wifi and need to reconfigure it in order to reconnect.

When upgrading to Froyo, setting to force the phone to use WCDMA (3G) Only is not working. On 2.1, I do it through *#*#4636#*#* and choose WCDMA Only. But on 2.2, its not working.
