can you do one for miguel's gratious rom? I'm running out of internal space already and dunno why :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
well hes using the 6.1 kernel so that one should work if not i will do a new one
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] daniel60104:
Will try that when I finish my midterm lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
I was actually waiting for the wifi fix but idk how well that's going til we get an actual 2.2 kernel for the espresso instead of cm kernel
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JAWheat411:
Hey do you know if the Boot.img in the new nightlies is similar to yours. Reason I am asking is because when I replace the one in the nightlies with yours, the file size is exactly the same right down to the byte. Maybe the new versions have it edited for a2sd already.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
I haven't checked but mine should have always been the same save maybe 2-3kb I only add about 5 lines to the boot image and each is only a couple words
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] _tek_:
Finally!

This is great, very easy to implement as well. Rolled my own Cyanogen 6.1 RC1 rom with this, now I can hold as many apps as the more top of the line phones (Droid X, Evo).

P.S. I've been looking for this since I gave up my G1!

Thanks for your work man! :D

BTW, doing the reinstall step is not needed if you don't wipe when you load another rom (like changing from one custom cm 6.1 to another)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] pettigrew95:
Going to have a2ext mod for arayray 1.8 or 3rdSense 0.30?

EDIT: I used your cm 6 boot.img and it seems to be working on arayray 1.8 im assuming because its based off cm 6
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
Check the updater app that came with the rom there is a compatible one in it in one flashable zip
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
Worked great! Thank you for your efforts!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cyncere:
nevermind....
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MLonon:
I already have apps installed on my sd card using what I guess is a2sd that is built in to CM6.1-RC2. I partitioned my card using Clockwork. How can I convert to a2ext without having to reinstall my apps again?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
I used the CM6 one for 6.1 RC2 ... working GREAT.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
That also may help WiFi issues. Are you having them. Also did you lose Bluetooth?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] NJAZ:
I've used both wifi and bluetooth multiple times and neither seems to be broken. Been trying to break to see if either are temperamental or cause each other to break. Especially using the market to test the wifi connection ... downloads and installs apps with both wifi and 3g enabled. 6.1.0 RC2 is working perfectly for me with your boot image in the update package. Thanks again for providing this solution for good old fashion a2sd/ext.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
well for those not willing to risk adding older boot.img i updated and added the latest cyanogen RC2 boot.img to the download link.

3rd sense .40 is uploaded now
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ImHuge07:
Probably a really dumb question.... but I can't figure out how to get the boot.img into the rom.

I'm downloading the file and trying to place it into my cm6R2 zip folder on my SD card but it wont copy over and says the compressed folder is corrupted or invalid.

How do I get the boot.img I downloaded into there?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] archie53:
Thanks for this, this was a great little add on to an already awesome ROM and what an easy little thing to do that makes this phone work btter.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ImHuge07:
bump to the to p
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] KCRic:
1: Download the file, extract(unzip) it.

2: Use an archive explorer (winrar,7zip) to open your rom. DON'T UNZIP IT.

3: Drag and drop the boot.img into the rom, it will overwrite the old one.

4: Put it on your sdcard and flash it.

5: Enjoy:D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ImHuge07:
Any idea when you will get the CM6 R3 boot img?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JDV28:
would you be kind enough to make a boot img for the new arayray rom revamped beta?

-r00ted $L1d3
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ImHuge07:
this would be great
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JDV28:
well actually, the rom has an updater built in that has a zip for activating it, so a modified boot.img isn't needed here. just found this
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] whoisloon:
so basically you just need to do these commands??

1. ./adb remount (windows: adb remount)

2. ./adb shell (windows: adb shell)

Su will be needed for terminal app and may be needed for adb method(just do it in case its needed)

3. cd /system/bin/

4. sh a2sd reinstall

some things will popup and phone should reboot

5. once rebooted ./adb remount

6. ./adb shell

7. cd /system/bin/

8. sh a2sd cachesd
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
Make sure its for the new rom because I think the one in it is for the older version
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JDV28:
it probably is, but I can confirm its working for the beta

--r00t3d $L1d3
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
It may work but it may mess up some edits he did like the 3g edit
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ImHuge07:
So I just go into the updater and download a zip that he has on there and flash it..... then do those commands on the first post to activate it?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JDV28:
wait what??

@imhuge, exactly

--r00t3d $L1d3
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] arayray:
Dont flash that zip, its from the old rom and you wont have the new features implemented into the kernel... @acejoker25000 before I release my final version can I shoot you the boot.img and you can add app2ext so itll be ready when I release it?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
yea that's no problem
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
before i get 100+ requests i thought i would go ahead and say this! Cyanogenmod 6.1.0 already has a2ext support built in so there is no need for me to edit anything in it! the only problem is that it is not functioning just supported. sooooo to fix this all you need to do is flash the add-on package and your good to go. rmr to run a2sd cachesd to get the dalvik cache onto the ext partition!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] damngood98:
sorry, just making sure i'm doing this correctly as it is my wife's phone and not mine: for someone using cyan 6.1.0 flash the package and do the terminal/adb commends from the op?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
That would be correct
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yajinni:
Hi i am using the 6.1.0 stable release of Cyanogen. I flashed the rom then flashed the A2sd Enabling package. I ran the commands in the terminal and it did the rebooting as was mentioned in the instructions. I then began to install apps and noticed it was still taking up system memory. Any particular settings i need to do in the rom or any way i can verify my APP2EXT is working correctly?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
If you have root explorer or su file browser and terminal use that and navigate to the sd-ext directory and see if app app-private and dalvik-cache folders are there if they are then everything is working. Memory decrease could be due to regular cache build up so try out a cache cleaner
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yajinni:
Wow ty for the fast reply. I was able to verify that those 2 folder are there. So i guess i am good. Time to install a whole bunch of apps and will see what happens. On a side note. I have the allow app moving inside of the cyanogen settings unchecked if that matters.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
There should be 3 folders

App

App-private

Dalvik-cache

If your missing Dalvik-cache cache then go to terminal

Su

Cd /system/bin/

Sh a2sd cachesd

Long reboot .........

Done
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yajinni:
Yup there was 3. I just kinda messed up on your post where it said app and app-private. read it as only one app lol But this is some excellent work!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] PcFish:
Hey quick question, should I have the option turned on in CM settings or is that just for a2fat?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] KCRic:
I have it checked on mine along with the default install local as external. Not sure if it matters but I'd do it anyway in case you're unsure.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
So I've finally relented and installed the a2ext package (ran out of space even with a2fat32). Upon partitioning my card using GParted, I added ext3 and made it primary. Does it matter whether it's primary or extended? I forget if Android recognizes one or both, although I've confirmed all my apps are on the ext. I'm really just wondering if one is better than the other or if it doesn't matter.

Also, I remember with my G1, when I would connect to Ubuntu, it would show both the fat32 and ext partitions. Come to think of it, I formatted it with AmonRa's recovery. However, with my recently formatted card, it's only showing the fat. How do I get Ubuntu to see the ext? Or is this related to my question above.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] PcFish:
I just did some experimenting with Angry birds,

With the CM setting checked it just goes to the FAT on my SD.

If I go to app settings and click send to phone it doesn't take up any space on my phone's internal memory. Well it takes maybe 1 meg or 2, but I think that's just cache.

I feel that the CM setting should be turned off.

I will try this out with some more apps to confirm.

EDIT: Yeah. Before installing Angry Birds, 127 MB free internal memory. After installing with CM settings on, it leaves 2/3 megs on phone and the rest on the SD.

With CM Settings off, No change in internal memory or FAT SD.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
That's interesting. After enabling a2ext and moving cache I had 100 MB free. With that said, I do have the CM setting on. I'll turn that off then.

Edit: After turning App moving off and reboot there was no change. Must be cache. Ran Cachemate and that got me to 103 MB, LOL!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] supermario12312:
Can someone please help me? I'm running CM 6.1, and I flashed the add-on, and went to terminal app. After the sh a2sd reinstall command, I just get a ton of permission denied's! Whats going on? How do I fix it? Is the problem because of the $ in front of the commands?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
You don't need to do the a2sd reinstall that's automatic just the a2sd cachesd and you will get errors because system isn't r/w but once rebooted everything is alright
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
Cyan doesn't mount the sd-ext anymore that's what the init script was supposed to do but doesn't anymore. But its supposed to be primary and not ext so your OK.

There may be a script to mount that partition but I don't no it the only way I do it is via recovery and mount USB it automatically mounts both partitions
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] KCRic:
To add to Acejoker25000, the $ means you are not using terminal as superuser. Before you type in the commands you need to type

su

then hit enter. You should get a # after you do that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
LOL I completely didn't think about that LOL! But yes follow that part!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
My phone has stopped working when adding the addon and restarting the phone.

It seats on the Mytouch Slide screen and nevet moves.

I Have applied the Cyanogen 6.1 rom again. I then restart the phone and again, it stays in the mytouch slide image.. never changes.

What can I do?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JAWheat411:
Try booting into recovery. With the clockwork mod recovery image on your sd root named update.zip. Hold the volume down and then power it on. When on the next screen select the middle option of recovery. Then after it reboots into recovery run update.zip, which will go into your clockwork recovery image. From there select wipe cache. Then restart phone. I did this when I had the same problem and it worked.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
So i applied only the "Add-on" (im on cyanogen6.1) restarted my phone,

applied this commands

su [enter]
cd /system/bin/ [enter]
sh a2sd cachesd [enter]

restarted phone..

went to "SD Card & Phone storage", im still getting

Total space: 145MB

Available space 100MB

(i set with rom manager to 500MB =/ )

What could it be?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] archie53:
That is what it should say, all of your apps are now on the external partition you created. If you use Titanium backup that will show you the size and how much free you have on the external. Mine currently says 479mb with 212 free and when I looked on the phone it says I have 105mb. The phone doesn't show what's on the external you created, it just show the internal memory.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
ahh thanks!

Very insightful!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
Also, there is a little bit of cache that's going on the phone memory and not sd for whatever reason. That's why you'll see your internal storage go down a little.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ladderwalker:
i partitioned my sd card with rom manager, now I can't reboot to recovery like i used to, I can get to it through the stock recovery but that's lame having to wait for it to read esprimg every time, does anyone have any suggestions?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] KCRic:
Lol you remember that update.zip you always flashed to get into clockwork recovery? It's gone. When you partition something it formats it. So all you need to do is get rom manager, DL clockwork and put it on your sdcard (name it update.zip). You'll be back in business. Btw, if you didn't back up your sdcard

everything

will be gone.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ladderwalker:
Actually, I had update.zip in place and it wasn't working, I am not sure what the problem was but some how I fixed it, I hate when I magically fix things with out knowing what I did. and yes I know that partitioning will format, ive known that since the early 90s
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] KCRic:
Oh, ok. Yeah those magic fixes are always fun lol. I figured you were some young kid that jumped in here trying to do this and failed on the sd backup - anyway, at least it's fixed.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ladderwalker:
yea i should have explained my issue a little better, I was getting desperate so I posted my problem and about 10 minutes later it worked? I'm sure I did something, but I did so many things I'm not sure what did it. But thanks for the quick response anyways
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Hi! Well I, jumped into making a partition to later flash an add-on and enable Apps2Ext, I used Gparted and unallocated 600Mb, but at the end of the process it showed there was an error, Gparted refreshed and did no longer shown my SD card, (I was in USB mode) I restarted both my PC and phone and still unable to see the sd card. But I didn't loose anything, I can see it made it to unallocate those 600Mb, but I need to make the Ext3 partition.

I don't trust rom manager.... what else can I use ?

Thanks for the help, it's really appreciated!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Tzatlacael:
Alright, I went through a whole partitioning-phone-messin'-data wipin'-formating-card-USB-mounting and reflashing Odessy and after that, I made it!

Now I got A2Ext working!

Big thanks to developers!

Edit PS: if you ever get to the point of having to reformat your SD card, do not for get to PUT BACK UPDATE.ZIP and the ClockworkMod Recovery folder, I prevented myself from ending into a no exit hall, but I was unable to get to ClockworkMod Recovery, so what I did was use Rom Manager and get ClockworkMod Recovery, and THEN selected Reboot into Recovery, SUCCESS!, later on I was able to get to recovery by normal reboot into recovery. :P
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] supermario12312:
Just an FYI, Apps2EXT works in the CM7 Nightlies (I've tested it with build 9) exactly as it does in CM6 Stable. Possibly worth mentioning in the OP perhaps?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ImHuge07:
Is this what I should use for cm7 if I just have the stock sd card or is there a better option?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] biglo:
I dont understand what the OP has on it. I installed a fresh copy of cm6.1.1 and installed n app from my sdcard and used root explorer to check the sdext partition and there was nothin on it. Then I changed the settings to install to external and still the same thing. I read and saw that CM6 supports app2sd which is to the fat parition and not the ext.

Hi all

I cant seem to find a definitive answer to this and Samsung support have not been very helpful.

When I try to install the drivers for the Galaxy S when connected to Kies I get a driver failed to load message.

It seems to be the MTP driver.

This is on 32 bit W7 laptop.

Does anyone have a solution to this? With Froyo coming but only via Kies it is becoming a bit desperate!

Thanks in advance

Simon
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
you are not alone my friend, everyone have grief with Kies

after installing Kies, try the option to Install Driver inside the Kies app

see if that helps

next alternative is to install Android SDK drivers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ian_Cog:
There seems to be a lot of issues with Kies. Mine is 'MainStage has stopped working'.

However there is little, or no, support for it. Loads of Kies questions and reported issues have gone unanswered on this, and other, Android/Samsung forums.

I've just managed to get the Australian Kies release working on my XP laptop. 5 or 6 installs and uninstalls, cleaning folders out from bad uninstalls, looking for reminants left behind. It took ages, but now at least I managed to get it working and clean my Orange SGS and flash it to JM1.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Yakumo.unr:
Just going to copy and paste the tips I wrote up on VF when I'd wanted to use kies to upgrade firmware:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tupique:
Have you tried Kies from Samsung Australia? They have the latest version (1.5.1.100853)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Meh, my Kies just killed itself, decided to update and now it bombs out every time I connect the phone, tried rolling it back, but its still screwed.

How hard can it be?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
I originally posted a fix, but the server rollback killed it.

So here it goes again

Download the new version from australia

Then uninstall the old version from your PC

Then delete the \kies\ from \program files

Install the new version of kies from australia

Done
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergkjber34:
Hi!

Due to my school's network dumb mac filtering, I need to spoof my pure's mac address.

So I looked it up and it looks like the way to do so is by using emapiWlanMac in mtty.

but everytime I try to use that command nothing happens..

Soon after, I realized I get Level = FF on mtty.

Is that the reason I cant change my mac using mtty like in this post:

tinyurl[dott]com/purehelp (sorry about breaking the outside links rule there...)

After I googled level=ff it would seem that I need to use install hardspl and than use mtty, is this correct?

Also, isn't using hardSPL going to erase my pure?

Is it going to affect my pure in any way other than allow to flash roms (and ofcourse use mtty I hope)?

Becuase I read it's for flashing roms. so my logic says it might do that :confused:

Sorry for the long Q.

Interesting concept nyl. I've been following reactos for a while, theres been great progress made but it is still in alpha state and as such not stable enough for a conversion I think.

I did think the last post from T-mobile seemed strange. The new info seems to tie in with what the user "Beards" has been telling us on here. He stated there was a last minute problem found with the official samsung release
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fuctifino:
Sorry to sound harsh but deal with it.

Samsung are not the only company who have delayed releasing 2.2, speak to HTC owners.

Surely it's better that Samsung delay it rather than give us a crap release?

The leaked Beta builds have been great for us to test and the feedback Samsung get helps them to improve the OS.

How many other companies producing Android phones have allowed customer to try out Beta build of Android?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] simonsteele:
I am glad there is a delay as it will give me time to get Kies working so I can even get the update.
