Still no success... Has an x10 mini pro btw.

Step by step what I did this time (your scripts already copied to an correct partitioned SD-card):

1. Complete reset with SEUS

2. Rooted with X10root.1.0.6.apk

3. Removed old busybox with:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/bin/busybox

4. Run your script

sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh

5. Press 0 then Enter.

6. Got this in Command-window:

busybox: not found
mkdir failed for /system/xbin, File exists
cp: target '/system/sd/app' is not a directory
rm failed for /etc/mount_sd.sh, No such file or directory

7. Phone rebooted.

Apps that where installed in /data/app is gone and /data/app is now a 0-byte file instead.

Looking in /System/SD/ gives me 1gb free space but /System/SD/app is a 0-byte file too.

Apps that I download now installs to /data/appbak and not on the SD-card...

Any Suggestions?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ray_jai:
Did anyone other than the OP get it to work?

im stuck on the Sony logo, time to reset...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wolfilein:
i doesn't have an x10 mini but please look at the other sites there many users how got it working :)

and please post the output of my script if i should help you
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ray_jai:
so your method is not for the X10 mini or pro?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] st-tps:
Can you see any mistakes I´we made when you read the output?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] yuunanase:
I think I got it working on my X8, but I am not sure how to check. System info says I have 128MB left, and when I remove the SD card, the phone reboot itself.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Manny-:
same with me it seems like its worked but the internal memory says its got 100+mb... :confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
Users of x10 mini/pro, please note that system block is not mtdblock3 on phone, it is mtdblock0.

Check yourself by typing -

cat /proc/mounts

So the command to mount system as rw should be -

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system

If you try to mount wrong block as system the procedure will fail, and you will end up with possibly bricked device.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Manny-:
I use this(?)

mount -o remount rw /system
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ghidda:
hi, somebody try it in X10i

work? :confused:

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
Better to use the complete syntax, but even if you want to use shorten syntax, this should be -

mount -o rw,remount /system
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Manny-:
do you think maybe thats why it didn't work for me?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] oversim:
maybe ... try this remount command...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
I dont know.. I cant be sure..

Anyway, I posted a new thread on how I got it working in details here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819725

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] st-tps:
Update on my case:

Finally got it working.

The problem for me was the partitioning of the SD-card.

Remade the whole partitioning-process and made the EXT2-partition 512mb instead of 1gb the first time.

Then I followed li_boud´s guide and now I have a working App2SD.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] oversim:
Are you sure? Uhm..

I made a 1Gb partition.. there was no problem..

Ok, my cell was bricked 'cause my SDhc card was damage, but partition was ok, and there were file copied by busybox on it...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] st-tps:
No I'm not sure about the 512 vs 1024mb thing, that was just a thought.

It likely might be a fault in the partitioning process too. But made a partitioning remake of the card and app2sd now works like a charm.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
Now I figured out why app2sd.sh did not work for you, while manual method worked like charm.. You run it from sdcard, didn't you?

Tell me how it works for you...:)

cheers!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] st-tps:
Yes thats correct, like it said in the how-to...

Typed 'sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh' and had my app2sd.sh in the root of my sd-card.

But it doesn't matter now, it works anyways for me.. :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xavierjjj:
Hi all !

Great work, I got it working on my first attempt on my X10 mini pro.

The only thing is: how to be sure it is *really* working ?

I explain :

My internal memory is still decreasing when i install new apps...

My ext2 partition is also decreasing, though.

How can I explain that both memories seems to be used by new apps ?

I'm a little bit confused...

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] oversim:
xavierjjj , "only" /data/app is on sdcard now.

But /data/data , /data/app-private , ... still remains on memory block mount point.

So, do not worry, it's ok ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xavierjjj:
Thanks for your answer !

By the way, what happened to the apk already installed?

Did they move also to ext2 ? I did not notice additionnal free space on the phone internal memory, so i doubt...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wolfilein:
the apps will be bakuped on

/data/appbak

and will be copy to sdcard so you don't losse any apps
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xavierjjj:
My /data/appbak is empty...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] adamo86:
when making a partition on memory card will I lose any files on the card.

I mean I have mp3 apk files from vaerious other sites in a folder.pics.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wolfilein:
if you only resize the partition (like in the wiki turial)

the answer is no you don't losse anything
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] adamo86:
Im refering to the partition which is made to make app to sd work,will I lose any data etc on the sd card.

Also can I install the script useing root explorer.

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
To make a new partition, you have to remove existing partition, so yes you will lose any data on sd card..

However, you can always backup the data on sd card using media go or pc companian.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wolfilein:
No

in the tuturial here you only resize partition.

thast means you use free space on your sd-card to create an new partition ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ray_jai:
I'm new to android,

but with app to SD, does it move all my apps to SD?

or does it let me install apps to the SD?

can I still install to main memory if i wanted?

and what happens if i remove the card when the phone is on?

thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] iggi111:
will this work after updating to 2.1? ... with root of cause.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wolfilein:
first:

yes all apps will moved to the sdcard

and

i don't now if this work after the 2.1 update,

but if the root work this should be working too :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] st-tps:
Ok, now when root is confirmed for the mini and mini pro, anyone have tried the App2SD-sollution yet?

I have to work the whole day before I can get home and try it... :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] batemann:
yes, doesnt work with 2.1 anymore
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ozzy1212:
@batemann

any other solution to saving apps to SD?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] st-tps:
Too bad... :-(

I really liked having the bonus-space.

I hope you guys have some more great ideas so we can get this working again..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wolfilein:
i will test why don't woek with 2.1 anymore,

an edit the howto & upload a new script

it seems that on the x10i the bootscript has changed too

and that it will be the same to fix on both

wolfilein
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] yuunanase:
It seems that the script mount_sd.sh no longer run after reboot.

many thanks to batman :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] magizhang:
/init.delta.sh not call ln in 2.1 but mkdir is called

so

replace ln not work in 2.1

but replace mkdir work in 2.1

however both 1.6 and 2.1 need sh to run the script init.delta.sh :D

Great work (again) Wolfilein

Gotta try this tonight!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dettofatto:

It's ok in X10 mini!

I suggest to clear your old partition before (if yoy have 1.6 app2sd)...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mangoman:
Seems i cant get it to work on 2.1.

I rooted the phone with 2.1 Root Method - Working on Nordic FW SuperOneClickv1

On 1.6 i used Exploid - root for X10 mini. so followed those Instructions to Adb shell.

Did get this error:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Passaralho:
First of all, thank for your efforts and amazing work.

The last version you uploaded, 2.1 ready, stills working on 1.6?

edit: From what I saw around, I believe it does! :)

This because I haven't updated yet and will not update until a few more things are 'ported' to 2.1, like the blac theme, etc...

If I install this now on 1.6 what do I need to do or take care with, when updating the phone to 2.1?

Regards and thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wolfilein:
yes it should work, but i will upload the old again

@mangoman

it should work, but please open an adb shell

type in

su

rm /data/appbbak/*

because there a not enough space for the backup (i will fix this this day )

should it be:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
Yes, confirmed to work with my mini :D

Thank you !
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] li_boud:
No I'm not sure...

I don't have a mini, so I asked a mini user to run # cat /proc/mounts and he reported mtdblock2 as being system block. So I based my script on that.

If someone with mini can confirm that mtdblock0 is indeed the system block for mini as well, then I think mini pro script will work on mini too.

hi,

could somebody help me to modify htc sense?

i want to make these changes:

1. add more than 10 places to the wether tab.

2. use video camara ang gps at the same time. i mean to make a video and driving using gps.

3. change the lockscreen clock. (RESOLVED)

4. change only the lockscreen wallpaper, without change wallpaper of menu screen. (RESOLVED)

5. add more icons to the softkey bar.

6. add more vibration to the resco keyboard pro v6.

7. add vibration to the calculator keys.

8. to make the batery show the time left, not % (it is possible with spb pocket plus, but i dont want leave htc sense).

thanks.

Your not wrong mainly cos your requests could b done with apps but secondly theme stuff comes with custom Rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mayazir:
shopsdesire, i didnt undestand your aswer.

i only wanted to know if itis possible to modify some things of htc sense.

i was looking for the solution here but there are too much threads and posts.

i dont think i ask something impossible o too much dificult.

i tried to add vibration to the calculator keys but it didnt work.

there is no file "VbrationLevel" in the Registry. there are only "defoult" and "vibration" and put there 0, 1 or 2, 3..6 doesnt change nothing.

i also tried to increase vibration for the resco keyboard.. it is also doesnt work..

about the weather tab.. i dont think it is impossible to increase the amount of cities to add to the weather option, it has to be some file to change a value, but i cant to find it.

i see here a lot of themes to change a lockscreen but i need the one for only lockscreen and not for all htc sense theme. i wanted to change a clock on the lockscreen, and use there the wallpaper diferent of the wallpaper of the menu screen.

i bought my hd2 a secondhand and before i reset it, it has a tomtom icon in the softkey panel, so it is possible but i can fine how can i now add there icons.

spb pocket plus has the option to change a battery icon option: it shows the % of restant time or real restant time, but i cant fine any apps to have this option with sense.

i sent my question about the possibility to use video camara during driving whith tomtom, but still there is no answer. does somebody know if it is possible?

PLEASE, COULD SOMEBOBY ANSWER AT LEAST A FEW MY QUESTION?

[Desire General] tommo123:
was trying to walk to the shops and record the walk (my tracks) and listen to some music on the way. was about a 15 min walk all in al. during this time i lost 14% battery life.

gps wouldn't lock on, which means it's constantly searching., i was waiting for a lock whiich means the screens all the whole time. the sun comes out which means i turn the screen brightness on max.

this sucks. i've had probs with the desires gps in the past but nowhere this bad.

now, is there a site that will review the gps aspect of smartphones? i mean, i presume a lot of us have android phones for the free satnav, google maps etc? without a great gps system in the phone then all of those things are useless. this is why i will never get a samsung phone.

i think next time, the gps of the phone will be the deciding factor. i'm using this far more than i thought i ever would.
[Desire General] Eradorius:
I also had problems with gps.

Try to pull out battery, left phone without it for about 5 minutes. Next go out and get lock via using maps (and don't move, stay in place after turning on gps). It may take some time (some people reported that it took about 20min, I was waiting about 5). Now gps works like charm.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] Dragooon123:
What ROM and radio are you using? I have noticed that any radio older than the latest one with HD ROMs tend to give bad GPS performance. In the past I've let My Tracks run for over 3 hours and it tracked my movements fine, in those 3 hours I was in a building for about 30 minutes and it lost its battery fastest in those 30 minutes presumably trying to find a fix. Honestly Desire is the best GPS unit I've ever had, it is better than one of the older dedicated navigation unit I had.
[Desire General] KaidM:
I agree re GPS. I drove for 2hours using my GPS without a car charger and I lost 80% of my battery in that time. I realise now that any trip using navigation has to be plugged to car charger or very selective use of GPS.
[Desire General] pascanu:
So your phone can navigate you on a full charge more than your car can drive on a full tank and you complain about the phone??? WTF! People really have strange / unrealistic expectations...
[Desire General] nzdcoy:
You should stop driving like a mental. it is realistic for a tank of gas to last more than two hours.
[Desire General] Dragooon123:
Were you using Google Locations + Screen on? If so I'm not surprised.
[Desire General] catdog:
Any GPS navigation I came across was always using the CPU a lot hence the fast battery drain.

If GPS does not want to lock it needs a cold restart- using GPS Tools. Alternatively restarting the phone will do the same. I found that the GPS tends not to lock in urban areas but restarting the phone always helped- for the day.
[Desire General] chris2busy:
What do you drive? a space shuttle?!

@op : the battery drain is not only normal, its actually good..my sister's ip3gs can't even get her through 1 hour of naigation..my revious hd2 gave me low battery warning around an hour and 20 minutes (but that had the huge screen to blame for that)..you can very cheaply get a car charger and even get free screen protectors as gift from amazon or ebay..
[Desire General] SimpleNick:
'normal' is as far as HTC / android phones are concern.. it seems that in car charger is a must.

in contrast, the nokia E52 i have, lasted at least 5 to 6 hours navigation at the very least, with screen on always..
