Hello, When I flash racht 's CM 7 Arced ROM
And use an app that requires an SD card to function. Ex: Gallery
It says SD card not mounted/detected.
So I tried flashing FroyoBread ROM.
SD card apps work, I am able to access them.
Please tell me the problem, is it in the ROM or does my phone have a problem?
I am using an Xperia X8.
I will check back on this thread on Friday, July 1, 2011
Your help would be very much appreciated.
well, I'm in no way an expert...but following logic would tell me it's the ROM, but you should try another ROM, and if 2 out of 3 ROM's work ok with the SD card...my vote is ROM. That could be wrong, but I figure if your SD card mounts with everything else, it's at least not that.
I'll second the ROM opinion. I am running CM7 nightly and it works perhaps try one of these?
Thanks for your replies.
I have also tried the kuyaDROID ROM and racht's CM7 nightly HACKDROID ROM.
It still does not work after several reboots on both ROMS.

Hi guys, first post from me. I wish i could post this in the proper thread, but since i am new i am not allowed, so excuse me for the inconvenience.
I want to use custom roms to enhance my phone, i've been reading up in this forum and some video's on youtube. I've already rooted my phone before, so that part is out of the way.
Now here is my phone setup:
- Samsung Galaxy S Plus
fw= 2.3.5
baseband= I9001BOKP1
kernel= [email protected]#1
build= GINGERBREAD.BOK4
carrier= T-Mobile
- External SD Card, 486 MB
I just used the SD Card from my old Samsung phone (G-600)
The thing is, i have used Apps2SD to set apps to my SD card (the external one)
1.A: So if i am going to backup will that also be stored back to my SD after i format it?
1.B: Or is external SD card formatting not required for a fresh clean install?
The ROM i want to use is Cranium RC9
As i understand this ROM comes with a kernel as well, so..
2: should i do anything kernel related? (since it's my first time to install a ROM and all)
And finally..
3: What is the correct method for a 1st time/clean ROM installation?
If i look at the 1st post of the Cranium ROM thread, then i see install methods if you already have RC8. And the other method is for installing RC4. Please don't tell me i have to go through all the RC's to get to RC9 o_0
Thanks for at least reading this and hopefully some one can help me further on this
1.A When you backup, choose internal SD since backup has about 1GB of size if you have lots of apps. Go to feamod recovery 1.4, backup and restore then backup to internal sd card. When you finish ROM flashing restore your apps only in advanced restore.
1.B I don't think you have to format external sd, anyway you can back it up too.
2. I don't think so. The rom comes with a kernel..
3. For fresh ROM installation, Format system, data, and cache. You can also wipe dalvik cache. Then flash using ODIN or CWM, depending on the file. Reboot system and you can restore data only after going to cwm again.
You can also read fabsau's starter guide in our forum(i9001)..
In my opinion, try broodROM, comes with skyhigh kernel, ICS theme, beats audio, smoother scrolling and more..

Ok I got a HTC Sensation (XE) with ARHD 7.2 flashed on it. Kernel:Faux something
My problem my android crashed the 2nd time now. By that I mean, I can not access my SD card, all apps downloaded force close as soon as I open them, gallery (pics, vids etc) all empty but Android is showing me that the SD card has files on it and also accessible on the pc.
Read on the internet, a factory reset might help so I did and it worked...for a few weeks then again same thing happened.
Question is, is it the ROM that's causing this or the Kernel (which afaik faux is fast but unstable), maybe the extra features I selected when flashing are incompatible with the phone, or my SD card is dying?
any help appreciated

Its the kernel,try a different one,one thats a little more stable,this one obviously has bugs or is'nt compatible with your rom,also try this thread,it might help you a little.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466228
To determine wether this is the ROM or not I would personally go back to stock for a period of time and see if the same problem is persistent.
From what you have said it does sound like a bug, possible unstable software.
But attempt reverting back to stock as this may be hardware based with the XE being a older generation handset now.
Hope this helps
Can somebody who is on the Stock G900P 6.0 rom upload this file for me?
System>lib>libexfat_utils.so
The custom MM S5 rom im running recognizes all SD cards as corrupt, and developer Mrabz suggested replacing this with the stock as a possible fix.
Thanks
Never mind, I found the file and tried replacing it, the fix didn't work so this thread is pointless now

well, maybe not pointless. Does the SD card work in other devices? if not might be a formatting issue or the data might have corrupted. Ive had an SD card or 2 just die on me over my years of android usage. Is it a fresh ROM install?

The SD card does work in other devices. But its not just this SD card, Ive tried 3 SDs, all which work in my computer and other phones but none of which work with this new ROM. And yeah it is a fresh install

have you tried other ROMs on your phone? even if a ROM download looks complete, a slight interruption in a DL can cause a ROM to not function properly or cause odd weirdness. Id try a fresh download of the same ROM or an Odin flash of a different ROM
thats not the problem, appreciate the suggestions though
if anyone has any suggestions though im open to try them

what gapps package did you use, because a package i found on the internet did not work.
I really wanna breathe new life in this phone
Thanks for this awesome thread.
One thing I never understood in those scripts, should I format my sdcard first? In recovery? In a pc (using for example mini tool partiton wizard)?
What partition scheme do you recomend?
So far I have a 4Gb SD-Card but I may buy a 8Gb Class 10 one.
Partition

Just have one partition(sd-ext4) which will be your internal memory.
Just make sure you have formatted sd card and make partition.
Install the rom and flash the script on top of it (try int2ext).
It will increase if you follow the OP.

Tried before with ext3 and ext4 partition and in recovery it says installation aborted.
Do you think it is because of partition or recovery? philz touch recovery.

no you dont need to do anything beside make a backup of your files if you already dont have a sd ext just place the file and enjoy..... but if you dont have sd ext just get a sd card of class 6 or above boot into recovery go to advanced and partition sd card my recomended size is 2 gb... thats it... kill the thanks button if i helped

Thanks, working fine now.
Regardless of which ROM or recovery i'm on, my device reboots randomly after some times(even after a thorough clean flash). Tried almost all of the ROMs .....but nothing worked. Posted my problems in other appropriate threads too.....but didn't get any reply. Finally tried mini Cm9.......but still it has random reboots.........any help is appreciated :good::good::good:

ok random reboots i once had them too there are two reasons for this problem and there are two solutions so dont worry
1. problem with batery:
pull out the back case and clean the battery terminals with alcohol and do the same with terminals on phone. now without putting the battery in press the power button for 10sec after that put the battery back in and voila nomore reboots.
if not then continue
2. problem with kernal:
it can also be caused by a faulty kernal so i will recomend that you flash a custom kernal. and to be frank try one of arsalan kirmani kernals those are stable
hope i helped :good::good::good:

I've tried different kernels in the past...but none helped....can you suggest one specifically ?? I only have a 4 gb memory card....so creating 3 partitions is not a good idea. I mostly rely on ICS ROMs. So any suggestions ?

Try without memory card. In the past I had one Nokia with problems like you describe and it was the memory card.
I had 4gb Class 4 with Fat32 and EXT partition without problems. Now I just upgraded to 32Gb Class10 for 9eur because I mainly use my explorer as mp3 player.
Using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876466 (MIUI cm9 based) with int2ext like this thread suggests and it is ok

MIUI rom is good, it don't have any problem of random reboots.. it is hardware problem... or try 2.3.5 android roms once.. before that format sd card and make perfect partition then change to default recovery and wipe everything which are necessary then flash a rom.. it may or may not works but give a try..

Hello, guys I need your help?!
I'm new in this forum I have joined long time back but to post here its just recently when I ask question regarding the flashing of ROM, with status error7. Thank god I flash over again and it work.
I'm using RR ROM V5.8.0, Though it's working flawlessly like charm, but there are some glitches that need to be tweak such as headset icon during plugin,advanced reboot it's not there,and why does it need to have SD card, though before I don't use SD card in Stock ROM but is there any defect in here? Or suggests me guy a ROM that work flawlessly with no SD card required to work as shared storage...
P.s : I'm looking for your opinions guys. Please help?!

Greetings and welcome to assist. You really need to report any bugs in the rom thread, the sd card though is probably just your internal storage as that is how the rom see's it. An actual sdcard would normally be listed as extsd card
