Hi, I'm new to this forums and trying to follow the best i can. (steep learning curve).

Currently trying to follow the guide on page 1, but keep getting stuck after i press 3 to install apps.

I keep getting the following message,

/system/app/SemcPhone.apk: cannot open for write: Read-only file system

/system/app/SemcEmailLargeui.apk: Cannot open for write: Read-only file system

(I would post a picture of the message, but not allowed yet)

Any help would be appreciated.

The following Info might also help,

X10i Rooted via z4root, USB storage was off and USB debugging was checked.

Ignore my request above as i was being a noob.....I actually took time to read all posts and have now resolved the problem...............

Great work and easy to follow instructions.....keep it up
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] hugo0220:
Worked flawlessly, thanks a bunch.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] G-26:
I also keep getting these messages on step 3:

/system/app/SemcPhone.apk: cannot open for write: Read-only file system

/system/app/SemcEmailLargeui.apk: Cannot open for write: Read-only file system

What am I doing wrong?

USB Debugging is enabled, SE update service and PC companion are both installed.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kmlb123:
I'm also having problems when I'm running as administrator,

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I've disabled mass storage for USB, i've run the program as administrator, and I'm reluctant to continue because there was a previous person who got continuous restart at step 5.

What to do?

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] G-26:
What am I doing wrong here? I'm running as administrator, PC Companion and SE Update Service are both installed. To the best of my knowledge, my phone is rooted. But I am still getting read-only file system, no permission messages. Can somebody please point me in the right direction?

Here is what I see:

Then I tried this:

Hi, you don't really need the pictures. I found the intructions in the installer really easy to follow, as long as you read all the instructions.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] G-26:
I've followed the directions to the letter, without success. What am I missing here? Why can't I get past the 'read-only file system' stuff? Am I the only one experiencing this issue?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] MrKingLouie:
check your busybox
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] G-26:
What exactly should I be checking for? I currently have busy box installed, I've even gone to the extent of re-downloading and re-installing BusyBox from the Market. Can someone please point me to directions on how I might change my file system so that it will accept changes without throwing me the dreaded "not permitted - read-only file system" message. I can't even install xRecovery. Come on, someone's got to know how to change it.

I installed Dark10 for 2.1 v1.0.0 on a newly flashed and rooted .24 firmware frin zdzihu and it had three wierd effects. 1) my lockscreen went blank, I could however draw my thumb to unlock it. 2) my notification menu-bar went from being transparanet to completely white with strange blue lines on it. 3) the browser is loads completely white pages that I can click on and search for words in, but see nothing other than the white page...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] KickerXxXMutant:
yepp the same thing that is for me now... but i didnt know that i could draw my finger to unlock it, when the screen was blank, until now when i read this.

fuuuu :( i have made a complete flash! to no use at all :eek:

whell hope that someone comes up with some sorta solution to the problems :) i think i am going to test another theme, if its only DARK thats wierd:)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] _calum_:
I posted a 2.0.2.A.0.24 version of Dark10 here.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] D-Trixxx:
I had the same issues as the other. Thanks for posting this _calum_ i'll give it a go and provide feedback.

I can confirm that this update works for 2.0.2.A.0.24. I just ran the CMD file and followed the onscreen instructions. MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS...and you will be fine.

can someone post the installer steps again? those is the 1st post cannot be seen....

thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kbadone:
My darkbar colors are not even, any ideas what causing that? its half black half grey!!

Also, is there a way to remove Dark10 logo from unlock screen?!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] _calum_:
Yeah, that happened when I corrected the 9.png's in chewitts framework. I used the original gradient instead of a black bar, and the notification icons have a black background. I'm not sure whether to update the icons or use a straight black background...

Do it yourself or donate to chewitt ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kbadone:
I found some issues besides the status bar, for instance

*when you go to system settings and switch to landscape mode the background switches to blue

*when clicking on contact details the theme switches to blue

*Is it possible to change timescape theme color to match the phone black theme.

Everything else works great:-)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] _calum_:
You should really have posted this in the theme thread.

It looks like you have only used the first framework posted. The version I posted last week has sorted out the blue background and includes the rest of the apk's in the theme. Check out this post for a link.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kbadone:
Calum, That is the exact same file that I have used. Its all good now I have flashed back to default color, ill try to modify the theme again later

[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
Hello.

Recently I tests different ROMs. Little longer I have Novembre5 Clean from June with radio 1700.

Generally I noticed , that if radio is not in use, one can work with tg01 relatively long time. However it is enough to start internet connection ( palringo or IE ) and battery life is less than 1 hour. I realize that backlight is active then and it consumes a lot of energy but with executed navigation software like Garmin XT with GPS on and backlight on , battery is able to live above 3.5 hour.

Unfortunately I did not check how situation looks with original Toshiba WM6.5 ROM.

I know gsm transmiter can issue even 1W of power but as I know it can happen only when there is very poor quality of connection so it rather does not explain so fast battery discharging. It looks like gsm transmiter emits 1W all the time gsm connection is active.

Is anybody able to explain it ? Are radio versions more or less power consuming ?

Regards

fxdjacentyfxd
[TG01 General] wafeeq:
This was a problem I faced with all Novembre 5 roms, Battery life. I thought that the phone's battery life was supposed to be like that, Until i tried cooked WM 6.5 roms, and I was really surprised

Try the rom in my signature and fixes are available in the thread, you'll be really glad with battery life.

Regards
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
Thanks

Any fixes I can see there are concerned only with GPS. Am I right ?

It is possible I would have to change radio to other version - maybe 1700 ( there are different oppinions what radio is the best in Poland ). May it has any influence on battery life ?

Regards

If the mobile phone is struggling to find a signal, it will use more power to search for it.
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
I agree with You but it was testing in my home in the centre of the city, so it is hard to assume that signal strength is small. I suppose that described in tg01 user's manual talk time about 4-5 hours is pure fiction.

Is there any app to see what is taking up space on the internal memory? FOr instance, I installed the latest YAHOO MESSENGER AND VIDEO PLUGIN on my EVO (from the marketplace). Both pieces are moved to the SD card YET it is still taking up a HUGE amount of space on the internal memory. I would like to know what is eating the memory (or should I say Storage space)

Thanks...

make sure your sd card is formatted to FAT32. then place the PB31IMG.zip file on your card. HBOOT should then recognize it

[Nexus One General] tameracingdriver:
Some one else must surely experience the same thing, but its really doing my head in, and makes smooth scrolling in web pages nigh on impossible to achieve.

Basically, I find if I scroll slowly with my finger, much of the time it'll follow my finger just fine, but the second time as soon as I lift my finger off the screen, it will just take off and scroll much further than I wanted to... Sometimes it will even take off in the opposite direction!

Its starting to drive me mad, anyone knows why it does this? I've even tried different browsers but it does the same in many of those too. Any ideas?

Hi,

Received Desire Z with 8GB card pre-installed already. Then I bought 32GB microSD card.

Question is about changing 8 to 32GB. If I transfer all the files into the new memory card will I need to re-install all the apps etc or it will work fine?

Does anyone have any knowledge or experience on this field?

Regards

Filippoz
[G2 and Desire Z General] Daffa222:
I'm interesting in finding this out too. I've got a 16GB Class 2 card atm, as well as an 8GB Class 4, but that's not nearly enough. Was looking at a 32GB Class 6 online for about £70.

filipoz, where did you get yours, what class is it and how much did it cost?
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
Here is what I did:

- shutdown phone

-take 8GB card out

-copy all contents of old 8GB to a folder on PC.

-copy all contents from folder on PC onto new card

-put new card in

-turn phone on

I did not have to reinstall anything.
[G2 and Desire Z General] J.Coffey:
I'm pretty sure most if not all apps are stored on the internal memory.
[G2 and Desire Z General] filippoz:
So I have made a test and it is 5.8 - 6.0 MB/s file transfer (360mb file was transferred in 62 seconds into the memory card).

It cost me 130zł which is about 29 pounds including delivery.

Bought it on Allegro.pl which is similar to eBay.

edit: not everything went well with moving into the new card.

example 1: footsteps: Unable to find location files on your storage card. Tap to download the files from the server.

example 2: one of the games is gone ...

edit 2: so I am back with the old card 8GB, need to find out how to transfer it in a proper manner.

Hi everyone,

I've tried connecting to the stock IM in the Aria but it keeps crashing on me ('Force close' kept coming up).

I've installed Fring now and would like to uninstall IM to free up every little space I can but it doesn't have the Uninstall option when I go to 'Manage Applications'. Instead, there's a 'clear data' button…

• Why does IM crash all the time? It doesn't even let me login at all.

• How do I uninstall IM?

• What other good alternatives do you have besides Fring if I only want access to Yahoo Messenger and MSN? Facebook IM is a plus but not essential.

Thank you!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] dexmix:
Are you rooted?

If you are, you can manually remove the APK, and then adb uninstall the package.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Anthony1s:
What stock IM app are you talking about removing?

Also, eBuddy handles all those IM clients, including Facebook.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] dexmix:
htc IM. it does aim/msn and yahoo.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] emigre:
Hi,

Yes you're right, I meant the HTC IM.

And yes, my Aria is rooted (I bought it already rooted, so I missed out on the learning curve of rooting). More of a do-it-yourself and learning on the job person.

How do I manually remove the APK? And what is adb? I searched in the XDA wiki but couldn't find those acronyms.

My apologies for being a bother. Hopefully I'll be able to be of use here to other newbies in the near future.

Thanks again!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] capsin6:
This thread has all the details on how to remove unwanted stock apps once you are rooted.

ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge - it is a command line interface and you get it can download and install Android SDK from here.

Good luck,

Thanks capsin! I'll be learning to do those as I get more familiar with the Android and basic stuffs :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virgopunk:
Hi all,

I've been following all the Froyo hoo-hah with increasing amounts of anxiety. I'm on T-Mobile in the UK (so don't have it yet anyway) but what I'd like to know from an XDA expert is what's the best advice for me at the moment. The things I'm curious about are as follows:

My Eclair version appears to be JF3, how can I get it up to date?

Is the stock Froyo actually any good and worth upgrading too? - reports suggest it's no major improvement and in some cases actually a step back e.g. increased battery drainage, no GPS improvement, worse lag than Eclair etc

What is the current route (not root) of choice for getting the best performance from the SGS? for example, would the stock Froyo with the voodoo lag-fix be an adequate route or is there something better. If I was starting from scratch, assuming I'm relatively technical, what would you suggest?

Is Odin a better solution than Kies (I'm only using Kies for updating purposes anyway).

Last question, is it worth using a backup app or just a combo of appBrain and Kies?

My main concern is just reducing the, what seems to be increasing, lag on my current version (with OCLF installed). There's nothing more annoying when you're trying to show your phone off than it hanging.

Sorry for all the questions and I know some of you would say "Go search the rest of the threads!" but sometimes that just creates more questions than answers.

I must say though that it seems more and more that Samsung's software guys aren't really that competant.

I really very much ppreciate any help or advice anyone can suggest

Does anyone know how to hard reset a Venue Pro?

My understanding is that this is a required step after changing the SD card, as it forces the OS to set up the new card (in whatever arcane way it needs to) in order to start using it as storage.

New Venue Pro owners will want to know this.

Also, if anyone successfully manages to do this, and get their Venue Pro to recognise their SD cards, please let us know.

In the settings under about phone there is a reset option.. I am guessing that this would wipe the phone and re-setup.

the Camera, volume, up/down/Power is NOT a hard reset.

Only hard reset is available with Start, settings, About, Reset Phone....

Sadly...

Have a DVP hardware buttons combintion to update firmware from PC when it can't boot OS? Like tri-color bootloader mode from HTC.

Or it doesn't have any hardware modes at all?
