I just got an android tablet for Christmas running 2.1 and the battery life is being chewed away, so I was going to remove the phone services suggested in here
http://www.smartqmid.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=1691&start=0
I have rooted my device and logged in to terminal using 'su'
However, all the files are read-only
I have tried the following commands.
chmod 777 /system (just comes back "read-only file system)
chmod 777 /system/app/Phone.apk (just comes back "read-only file system)
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 (the mount commands just kick me back asking me to retype in the command)
mount -o remount,rw /system (the mount commands just kick me back asking me to retype in the command)
mount -o rw,remount /system (the mount commands just kick me back asking me to retype in the command)
Here is my currently mounted directories
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,relatime,mode 755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatim,mode=600 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0
tmpfs /sqlite_stmt_journals tmpfs rw, relatime,size 4096k 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system yaffs2 ro, relatime 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock4 /data yaffs2 ro, relatime 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock5 /cache yaffs2 ro, relatime 0 0
/dev/block/mtdblock6 /local yaffs2 ro, relatime 0 0
usage for the command mount looks like this
mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
Eh, I think I got it
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
HI Guys,
I have a peculiar problem, and I hope someone can help solve this:
My phone is a Galaxy 3 (I5801), and I just installed Kyrillos ROM 10.6 on it. I had previously created a 1GB ext4 partition using CWM in my 8Gb card. From Kyrillos' post, I only have to do this much to enable hybrid data2sd, where all the new apps get installed in the sd-ext (1gb) partition on sd card. It seemed to work fine, I removed unwanted launchhers, made backups using Titanium, and plugged the phone to My Linux Mint system.
I copied data to the sd card (6.x gb partition) (and the 1gb ext4 partition was also auto mounted).
I rebooted the phone, and all the newly installed apps (which went to sd-ext) were not visible anymore. I tried to find them, but they were visible as ghosts in the applications list in settings.
I am guessing that the ext4 partition is not getting mounted.
Why is this happening? any ideas? please help!
EDIT:
Here is the output of the "mount" command from terminal emulator
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

UPDATE 2:
The problem occurs only when i restart phone after connecting it to Linux Mint (Which Mounts the EXT4 /sd-ext partition. if connected to windows, no problems occur....
Any Ideas?
I have (almost) the same problem. My data2sd isn't working. link2sd desn't see my partition at all. And if I try to use hybrid data2sd I have to use it with either "g3mod config" or KMApp, but then I have this issue with ghost apps.
My phone is i5800, and if I enable BLN in KMApp (which is only for i5801), the apps stay normal, but I get sleep of death issue with screen.

Why are you mounting mtdblock3? It shows your system as mtdblock4. Not sure on the yaffs2 either. None of those are listed up there.
Mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 or cramfs /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system try something along those lines. Possibly take out the -t and ext3 as well, try cramfs
I could be totally wrong here but from the mount command its showing block4 as your system.
I have looked everywhere for help with this... I see others have rooted their Zte x500's and wonder why mine is so difficult.. I follow the directions no matter which way I go and this is the end result everytime..

Hi, I am trying to swap mount points to increase internal memory on my device - HTC Legend.
I know that there is script for this purpose.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902395 .
As I can guess here we just use /sd-ext partition to swap it with /data. But in my case I have no /sd-ext partition at all, only /sdcard.
Of course I have no device /dev/block/mmcblk0p2.
About installed firmware - Android 2.3.7 ExtremeLegendFuse_2 based on CM7.
Output of mount command.
