Thanks! It worked!

thanks so much! it worked great. I used the Odin3 One-Click. I booted it into download mode using the method three on the post about Odin3 I clicked start and it ran and rebooted a few times then started up as a factory default! Thanks again. Really appreciate it

Hi all

About the phone memory.. (not SDcard memory)

I think it has 170 MB user available of the total 512 MB RAM, is this correct?

The 170MB user available are for apps and android OS storage?

Can this be more balanced so I can install more apps ?

If so, what can happen if the 342MB left, became only 312 if the 170M are raised to 200M.

Where are this 170MB mounted? (if they are mounted)

Is the memory partitioned like an disk is?

Thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dryhte:
The 170MB you're reading about is flash memory available for the user (even without SD card).

It has nothing to do with the 512MB RAM in the phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] antoniomch:
So I have 3 completely separate kinds of memory

The 170M of user memory (for apps and OS instalations?)

The 512M of RAM (used like PC RAM?)

And SD card

Is this correct?

If so, I think there is no way to increase the 170M since it's a separate memory.. correct?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rockstar_7:
Absolutely..

...Absolutely correct..

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imbalance:
As many others have, I frequently run into a lack of internal memory on my nexus. I only ever have about 20 mb free. So today I decided to try and figure out what takes up all my internal mem.

I have a stock, non rooted phone running 83d.

I use apps 2sd and dolphin browser with cache on sd

I went to apps2sd and added up all the package sizes of the apps on my phone memory, came up to about 93mb. Yet I only have about 20mb free. That means about 70mb is being used up by other crap. Phone and contact storage is only 2mb each. So what is eating my memory and how can I find out? is there an app that'll chart out internal memory usage by app/file?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Disk Usage, from the market may help...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
93mb of apps is just for the actual app .apk file. app data takes a HUGE amount of space.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imbalance:
most things i've got left on the phone don't really have much associated data from the ones i've checked anyway. Still, can't believe there's no app to show internal mem usage. There's tons of them for the SDcard... Also, diskusage is only for sdcard. I'd still like an easy way to see what's taking up all my internal mem and decide if i want to uninstall it or clear the data or whatever.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
As soon as you open diskusage, it asks if you wanna see internal or external...

[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
Ill keep this short and sweet. heres my timeline:

1. I noticed that my market magically "demorphed" itself (as in deapplied a metmorph theme)

2. I went into Metamorph to reapply and Metamorph told to cfree up some memory in my system partition so as to avoid any problems.

3. I went into Root Explorer and saw my system memory was at 20kb:eek:, so i deleted my enormous shutdown animation, which freed up more than enough space.

4. I then discovered that my Vending.apk had somehow been relocated to /data/app.

5. I deleted it from /data/app, and, just to make sure started from scratch, i attempted to rm Vending.odex from /system/app via ADB but it said the file did not exist

6. Pushed Vending.apk to /system/app to reinstall, and now that its installed, it still wont show up anywhere on my phone (not in the launcher, not anywhere)....even thought i confirmed it is installed in root explorer

so my question is......where in the god damn is my bloody market????
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
Update: So it turns out this happens with any app i try to push to /system/app.......root explorer shows it as installed yet the app will not show up anywhere
[Vibrant General] lralexl:

[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
That always should be the last option, yet always seems to be everyones first answer

[Vibrant General] rsfaze:
I recall reading that if the signature of the apk doesn't match, once you connect to the Market and go back it reverts it to an original copy. I can't recall where exactly I read this but it had to do with changing the look of Market, which causes it to revert back.

[Gen8 General] kenyu73:
If some of you are having some real 'bog downs', you may want to investigate your SMB and Shared Folder environment.

Basically, these devices scan your local network for media automatically and in turn tried to 'index' everything. This work really hits the CPU hard.

If you install OSMonitor, you'll see '/system/bin/mediaserver' with a high CPU usuage. I'm not sure right now how to disable it though. However, killing off the process makes the device really snappy.
[Gen8 General] kenyu73:
It obviously indexes your internal and sdcard. It appears whenever you add or remove files or download new apps which create files on the public storage, it updates it's index.

I had a 300mb folder with thousands of small files and my mediaserver process went CPU crazy each time i installed an app.
[Gen8 General] sondeu:
smb should not be scanned by default.

If you look at /network folder, you will see a 0 byte file ".nomedia" - this prevents the system from scanning smb drives.
[Gen8 General] kenyu73:
That's a really good tip, thank you! I had done a copy of the Archos root over to my SDcard, that's what caused my mediaserver to peg out. It was only a few hundred mb, but there were a lot of files. Once I removed that off my sdcard, I was good.
[Gen8 General] skeeterfood:
Is there any way to add a .nomedia file to the directory where the Market downloads it's apps to? That should prevent the indexing that occurs every time you install a new app...
[Gen8 General] kenyu73:
Assuming that would work, you'd have to do a temp root, then push the .nomedia file to the /data (or /data/data and /data/app) folders. I think .nomedia acts recursively and adding it to '/data' would do the trick.
[Gen8 General] theyownus:
what is the purpose of having the indexing of files at all? why not just read the directory when you open your file manager???

are directories with the .nomedia file are still read by the filemanager? can you still browse to them and open files within the directory?
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
This is not connected to Archos, this was introduced by google for use in Music and Gallery.

The first phones where a little slow indexing the memory and this way after putting something on the phone it would after some time show up in the std player with thumbnails and so on.
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
is it possible to turn off this scanning and indexing completely?
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
Only if you have the sources and access to /system
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
ok, another point for custom rom modifications ;)
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
ok, any advice what to do? this mediaserver process drives me crazy. the tablet gets close to "unusable" while that process is eating up all the cpu and battery :mad:

Hi all!

I own a Vodafone 845 and I'd like to know how to change it's name. By name, I mean the name that adb devices shows up when run.
[Off-topic] antoniomch:
I've used already a Symbian phone, a Windows mobile phone, an iphone, and now I have an Android

But I see all the time one thing..

For any kind of phone, there is always some one that wants to turn-it in to any other kind of phone..

A windows phone to look-a-like a android, android to look-a-like a iphone, an iphone to look-a-like a windows etc etc...

I think each phone OS as it's own capabilities, and it's own virtues, good things and less good things.

I'm not a developer, but if I was one I think I would focus in improving the OS in things they are not so good.

It's just a thought, and for the one that do this look-a-like other phone thing, please do not be offended, it's was not my intention.

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] mookiedockee:
Hey,

Ok so a little backstory before my problem: So I was in the middle of putting a new ROM on my captivate. I had one before but i wanted to change so I put the rom in update.zip and installed it will clockworkmod recovery. It installed fine I think but then when I tried to boot it gets stuck on the boot screen. So i tried to boot in recovery mode. I geld down both the volume buttons and the power button until it reboots twice, then I let go of the power button. but it still gets stuck on the boot screen and does not go into recovery mode. So i plugged it into my computer and using

adb devices

it shows up under recovery mode. So far so good. I can use the

adb reboot

and

adb push

commands fine. but when i try to use

adb shell

it says

exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)

So i can not reflash the recovery image. I read that I just needed to mount the /system file. But i do not know how to do this. the "mount" command does not work with adb. I would appreciate anything to help me to either reflash the rom or restore to factory or anything where i can work off of. thanks

[General Questions and Answers] Tr0y:
Is there a solution to this without using a Motorola Factory cable? I don't have the resources to make one and I don't have money to buy one.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
I'm not sure putting the rom into "update.zip" was the right choice.

adb shell could fail because the partition is not mounted, the sh binary is not installed, or not at the correct location

If you can still get the captivate into download mode, you could use odin/heimdall to flash a working ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] firekeg:
First of all...thanks to everyone that has EVER posted in the XDA forums! I've spent days reading them and I came across one that had a suggested solution for my problem. So let's start...

1) Bricked

2) ADB is finally working again...so..not a problem any longer

(Don't ask me how I got it to work again....I have no idea. System was wiped while using TWRP from a bootloop)

3) Now...with system wiped I have no '/system/bin/sh'

4)adb shell will not work because of this. adb root does not work because of production model. adb remount is not permitted.

Now....I came across a thread that suggest using r2.6.2.kindlefire.boot.insecure.img and zergRush. I have the zergRush file, but I need the r2.6.2.kindlefire.boot.insecure.img to push with adb.

Does anyone know where I can get the r2.6.2 at? Filesonic is disabled and Multiupload will not return page.

[Nook Color General] TchnclFl:
I'm considering buying a Nook Color, but I have a few concerns.

1. Is the root software-patchable? I've been living in the iPhone Jailbreaking scene lately, and none of the terms (bootrom, userland, etc.) seem to apply here, so I'm having a hard time figuring out if we'll end up unrooted.

2. If B&N does patch the root, can we still load applications? I'm very confused about the correlation between root access and sideloading. Are they one in the same at this point?

3. Again, assuming B&N patches the root, will it be rooted again? I don't want to be stuck with a device that can't run 3rd party applications.

Thanks :)
[Nook Color General] godsfilth:
root will be reverted with an update, whether or not the update will still allow the current root method to work is up in the air they would have to change how the system sets boot priority which may not be as feasible as one would think depending on the way they plan for updates to work and such (but i havnt looked into this)

root is the only way to sideload apps so when an update comes you'll loose the ability to sideload whether or not your apps that are installed is debatable most of the time an update doesn't wipe the data partition but since this isn't an android phone and data is strictly stored in the data partition who knows

when/if root is fixed it would happen again most likely i don't know of any android device that wasn't re-rooted after an update especially if the smart folks that got root in the first place can find a way to flash roms that arnt singed by B&N
[Nook Color General] mrintegrity:
I'm pretty sure that we can just disable automatic updates first and there are already successes at installing stock froyo for example.

/mr
[Nook Color General] EugeneKay:
A better question is "When will the new hardware revision that locks down the current root method come?"

Buy a dart set and a calendar.
[Nook Color General] clockcycle:
I think pokey9000 mentioned that the unit will always boot off of SD card if installed and bootable, before the units ROM - This means you will always have some method of fixing any issue. Don't quote me, but I think he also said only thing B&N can really do is make it annoying... (something along the lines).

-CC
[Nook Color General] clockcycle:
Sorry, what "new" hardware that locks down the current root? That I am aware of this was only an issue with the Original Nook and does not apply to the Nook Color...

-CC
[Nook Color General] ixampl:
At the moment nobody knows how OTA's are applied and which system application is responsible for them. So currently we cannot disable automatic updates... I've been playing around with the data partition for quite some time now to figure it out from various database files, and it seems like the device manager application does the updating as FOTA (firmware over the air) entries exist in that app's DB.

There is a setting that is currently at "auto" and I changed it to "manual". Whether this actually has any effect on a possible future upgrade remains to be seen though.
[Nook Color General] EugeneKay:
The inevitable hardware revision change that will not boot from the SD by default, or introduces some sort of checksum requiring a signed image in order to boot from the SD.
[Nook Color General] stwallman:
Question is, does B&N really care that much whether or not we have root access ? I wonder what the total percentage of sold NC's are "rooted". It might not even be worth it for them to hassle with.
[Nook Color General] TchnclFl:
And it seems like B&N is pretty chill about it anyways. They have the SD card boot before ROM for Christ's sake haha

Who'd you hear that from? Or is it don't ask don't tell?
[Nook Color General] Robertjm:
As a Series 2 Tivo user I can speak of this "enhancement."

Series 2 DVRs produced after a certain date used a new EPROM, which had a factory default on it so that if the power went out everything in the linux OS, which was not in the original kernel was wiped clean!

And of course this EPROM was soldered to the motherboard. There was a side industry of a few very good solderers who you could ship your Tivo unit to and they would remove the EPROM, install a socket and then there were modified EPROMS out there which allowed you to install things like telnet, ftp, etc.

Personally, I never tried it, but knew some who did.

later,

Robert

-----------------------------------------
[Nook Color General] stwallman:
Sounds like a lot of extra work, testing, etc. to implement something like this for a $ 250 eReader. Can't see B&N going to all that hassle. As long as they are at least breaking even on the NC (which I'm sure they are), they probably don't care that much about nooters.
[Nook Color General] Ypocaramel:
It's a business decision, really.

1) If they think they're losing money because of the root, then they'll try to shut it down. The hardware isn't losing them money I think, it just doesn't make any money, so people who buy it only to root and never buy from B&N probably aren't costing them any money. It's just that if no one buys books and magazines from, B&N, they'll get worried.

2) Or, B&N might not care. The more people using the Nookcolor, the more word gets around, the more people use the NC, maybe some of them will even buy content from B&N.

Or they might a take a middle path and try to lock it down, but then not worry too much about people rooting it again.
[Nook Color General] TheEditor:
I don't think B&N is to concerned as they release the source code for the device.
[Nook Color General] Admiralvic:
I would say it is almost null.

Even if we load kindle, there isnt much from kindle which I cant get from B&N. Even if the free books are more common there, google books (which even noted nook in the ad's...) had many of the same free books as kindle, and B&N has many classics for free themself. Also kindle app cant beat out the actual E-Reader functions that the nook has (atleast in my opinion)

Its clear that a lot of the root concept matches their plans. With the appstore coming its clear that they wanted to make the nook more than an E-Reader... Also with that no matter how poor next to the root many will just complain for a nook version over risking it to hack. If anything it will be buzz and is easy marketing for them.
