SilverLight™ 5 - alpha !
Hi friends, sorry i'm too late than i expected. Day's passed on swiftly and i'm here to just release the alpha of Silverlight 5.
SilverLight 5 bug fixes are here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30734779#post30734779
Important feature is that it is based on Android 2.3.6 !
It has been ported from Alcated 918D [MTK 6573]
Everything works fine. (Special thanks to yasir bro for testing it !!!)
I also named it as Stock Android 2.3.6 update for Spice Mi-350n.
It is just stock, for now
Another important thing is that, I'm making this port an open-source port. Since, i saw new rom makers emerging, it would be easy for them to cook/build custom ROMs from this port.
One thing, if someone wants to use it, do give me an information and a credit in your thread !!

SilverLight™ 3
Features:
>> Based on Official Spice build v2 !(thanks to yasir bro!!)
-- If you are on Bala's ROM v1.5/1.01(or did not flash your phone by following this guide), then do please flash your phone with official build v2 using this guide. It takes a mere 7 minutes for you to flash it but it takes hours together for me to make one for v1.5. If you want, i can make one for v1.5 also, but it can't be released within one week. So, bear with me & do upgrade your phone to official v2 !!!
NOTE1: If you are on Bala's ROM v1.5, then you won't lose your apps. Just flash official v2 with the help of flashing tutorial and the flash SilverLight 3 !
NOTE2 (read this only after reading the flashing guide above): If you are upgrading, then in the flashing guide linked above, in step 5, i did it like & it worked : After loading the scatter file, with battery inserted,i connected the phone by pressing Back+Menu buttons. My pc detected it and i clicked Format->Download. I kept holding it till the red process completed and from there everything went fine and flashing was successful.

Installation Instructions (SL-v3):
NOTE: Its is highly recommended to make a complete nandroid backup(including boot.img) before installing. Do not boot your phone in between.
Also disable Signature verification every time you flash a zip because they are not signed.
1) Download 'SilverLight-3_by_balamu96m.7z'. Extract it. Then you'll have SilverLight_Part1_by_balamu96m.zip , SilverLight_Part2_by_balamu96m.zip & SilverLight_Part3_by_balamu96m.zip(These are flashable zips. So do not extract them)
Click to expand...

THATS ALL !! You have successfully installed SilverLight™ 3 !!
Now boot your phone. First boot may take long time (even 10 minutes !), but don't worry. It will boot !!
STEPS TO ENABLE A2SD after installing the ROM:
NOTE: If you had done this already for Bala's ROM v1.5, no need to do again.
1) Make a backup of all your sdcard files in your computer because partitioning will erase all your files.
2)Now boot in recovery --> partition sdcard --> partition sdcard --> Swap size: 0mb --> Choose size of the partition that you prefer (recommended 1024mb)(not more than 1399 mb because beta 04 supports till that only)
Let it partition your sd without any error !!
[NOTE: If you are partitioning for the 1st time with recovery, the default type of the partition will be ext2 - that is what we need & with this a2sd will work .
If you have mistakenly upgraded your partition to ext3 or ext4, then use MiniTool Partition Wizard (its free) and change your partition to ext2. Only then a2sd will work.]
Now boot normally. Now with the help of A2SD GUI app, make apps to be stored in sdcard(will be on the main-screen!). Your phone will reboot once or few times. Read more about using A2SD GUI in the following 2nd or 3rd post !!
VOILA !! a2sd is working !!! You can verify/view its space with titanium backup app !!
Now you can place all your files back on your sdcard.
With recovery you can even backup your sd-ext whenever required. (sd-ext is the place where apps which you install will be stored)

SCREEN SHOTS v1.5:
SCREEN SHOTS v1.01:
NOTE:
-The android version displayed there (in Bala's ROM v1.01&v1.5) is just change in number. The actual version is 2.3.4 only !! Only you know that it is 2.3.4. For others it is 2.3.7 !!
USING A2SD GUI [For v1.5+]
'A2SD settings' on the app's main screen.
------You can choose where apps that you install should be saved either in sd-ext (sdcard partition) or your internal memory.
------ 'Zipalign on boot is off' - is recommended because the ROM is already zipaligned and doing it again on boot will take more time to boot.
------'Swap is deactivated' - I have not used it.....maybe you/anyone can try and reply !
DALVIK:
-- You can choose where Dalvik cache should be saved. Go more info on Dalvik-cache, try googling n reading the wiki about it.Other things can remain the same......
---other tabs, you yourself can read & understand !!
Some more:
One thing to remember - sd-ext is like internal memory for phone, but phone can't find how much space is used or left in sd-ext. Titanium backup will help you there......
All third-party/system apps will tell that apps are installed in phone memory......you should understand that sd-ext is also like internal memory for phone and all other apps !!
Apps should be installed normally .......but your free space in internal memory will remain the same even after installing apps.....you'll notice that ur sd-ext space will be reducing........
Phone can't find how much space is left in sd-ext but titanium backup will help you to know !!
If you find decrease in phone memory even when a2sd in enabled, use a2sd gui to reinstall all app to sd-ext.....u can also type this command in terminal emulator :
su
a2sd reinstall
More over one should not move apps to sdcard in 'application settings' when using a2sd !!
These are few things that i'm trying to add:
Trying to add few requests by some users!!
Extended Power menu with Reboot, Recovery & download - working on it.

DeOdexing is the process of re-bundling that uncompressed critical data (.odex files) back into your compressed .apk (& .jar) files, so that now all of the data is included in the .apk files necessary to run your applications without the presence of .odex files
In addition all the data is now included within the .jar files necessary to utilize your framework components without .odex files. In a DeOdexed file structure, there are no odex files present.
What is the benefit of DeOdexing?
Deodexing doesn't speed your phone up or do anything of the sort.
It is simply something that is necessary to be able to theme a stock ROM.
Theoratically it should slowdown phone but practically it is negligible.
zipaliging is the process of reorganizing the manner in which the .apk is packaged to optimized it for being parsed faster by the android OS, it is comparable if not better than the odex file structure, so you get the best of both worlds; a themed ROM and the speed of an optimized file structure.
If one can implement all things properly phone will defenately speed up.
i will also make custom rom... but in my vacation. till i will use others.

edit: already posted the ans !! any way i'm posting it !!
Harassing ?? Not at all !! i have no problem dude !!
Well, i don't think flashing will affect your phone because i'll have to do it many a times a day and not just 4 times !!
When ever i try and flash my ROM and many a time it'll get struck at boot screen. So i'll be restoring/flashing it many a times a day !
Still thats my view.....i dunno really !
Deodexing.........in simple terms it is like this:
Our phone splits the apks and jars (only system apks and jars) into '.odex' files for fast processing of those files ..........but when the app is split into .apk/.jar file and .odex file, it not possible to edit them and make changes. when those files are deodexed or when we flash a deodexed ROM, the two files, '.odex' file and '.apk/.jar' are combined together and we will have only the apk or jar file and not the .odex file.......hence it makes editing or modifying possible. Also,only because of this, deodexed ROM takes some more time to boot!!
So because of this we can say that it related to theming........that too 'native' theme and not just Launcher' theming which are provided by GO Launcher etc.
I hope you understand...........!! Now any one can easily make themes for our phone !! just edit framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk, modify,test and upload !!

hey balamu96m
i installed yor deodexed signed rom.
works good with 10mb more then other roms.
but there is some problem with status bar(notification bar)...
it stops working when i connect usb cable wid my pc...
so i think problem is with battery application.
overall nice work man
Features :
- Wifi and accelerometer should works fine for XW ROM owner
- Faster speed based on better code generation (will work on OC in next release)
- Voodoo sound and super user will be automatically dropped upon restart, so that even you have deleted them by accident, the kernel will always get them back for you
- Does automatically install busybox in /system/bin, so that you can start messing with bash script '
- Lifespan tweak (avoid frequent read / write to disk) and network tweak via sysctl.conf (since ver 1.2c)
- Performance tweak and battery life tweak as well via default.prop (since ver 1.3). To understand what I have done, check below for the copy default.prop with explanation.
- Automatically adds bravia engine to the system (since ver 1.3a) (there was a bug in ver 1.3 that makes bravia engine didn't work)
- Added 3 IO scheduler at the moment, sio, bfq and vr. SIO is selected by kernel by default. (You may override it with your init.d script) (since ver 1.3a)
- Automatically zipalign and perform database optimization with sqlite3 (thanks to ius in CM dev team to provide his statically linked binary) (since ver 1.3a)
- Perform a load of IO improvement when booting the device (since ver 1.3a)
Since too many people *****ed about the error while the kernel is running safe on my phone, I decided to make this kernel into dev release now. And may become private one in the future.
btw, if you want to use this kernel, please remove all those SetCPU or blahblahblah program for setting CPU frequency. Because setting CPU frequency simply doesn't work on my kernel (only 1.0Ghz max). And my kernel only works best with stock ROM, please let me know if you have any problem. In you have found any force close problem, and the problem persists after you have wiped the dalvik cache in CWM, that means you /data partition is doomed as having corruption made by the heat generated from other OC'ed kernels, and stop complaining about it in my thread. Just stick to the original kernel if you do not want the speed boost caused by dalvik int:jit mode. (The reason that I need to wipe dalvik-cache during installation)
For ROM developer :
- If you want to write something to /proc/sys/blah/blah/blah, you no longer need to use echo to input value to there. You just need to place a sysctl.cfg under /etc and then call 'sysctl -p' in the init.d script. Look below for an example of sysctl.cfg.
Credits goes to supercurio for his voodoo sound patch, xlm13x for testing, ius @ CM dev team for providing statically linked sqlite3 binary, utkanos for providing guide in make CWM, Turl for providing a guideline for making BroadConfig.mk (for the errata patch ), each IO scheduler author for their kind support for Linux community.
Change log in version 1.3a :
- Makes bravia engine works again
- Removed the problematic prop from default.prop so that the camera recording works again
- Added 3 IO schedulers : sio, bfq, vr (automatically select sio on all mmcblk partition by default)
- Sqlite3 and zipalign optimization upon boot
- Deleted the part for wiping dalvik-cache and cache on every boot (so this will do less damage to disk as well as faster boot speed)
(btw if you experience any force close, please boot to CWM and select 'Advanced' -> 'Wipe dalvik-cache'.)
- Since this build, there will be 2 versions because there is a IO optimization performed on /efs that may brick your device. Please always use CWM to flash both as I have finally made a backup script in the updater that automatically back up your /efs upon installation
- Since this build, the way to flash the kernel via odin is deprecated and un-recommended since it does not backup your /efs folder upon installation
- Since this build, service iq and user stats data will get disabled and no longer get sent to any user stat server
- Finally it is a stable release
Differences between dangerous build and normal build : dangerous build means it modify the mount option of /efs to disable ext4 journalism to gain IO performance which could compromise the integrity of the /efs partition (which means your phone can be bricked), normal build means that it doesn't do anything for disable ext4 journalism on /efs.
However the dangerous build should be safe if you flash it via my CWM flashable zip because it does automatically backup your /efs upon installation (and allow you to restore later). Just backup the efs_backup.img in the internal sdcard or external sdcard and you are good to go. (I have made the backup on both sdcard, and even if you install my kernel multiple time via CWM, the oldest version of efs partition is still be saved because the script does not overwrite the efs_backup.img by itself. If efs_backup.img exists, efs.img is created instead.) But it does really take you time when you need to restore the efs partition. (You have to repack it for flashing in odin or flashing via CWM, will make a guide for it later) If you really afraid of using the dangerous build, use safe build instead.
Change log in version 1.3 :
- Added bravia engine
- Moved those apk files aways from /sbin to /tmp
- More tweaks made via default.prop now
- Fixed a typo in the post init script that made init.d script stops working and stops dropping su and other stuff into the system automatically
btw since ver 1.3, the boot time will take longer as the system has to wipe and re-generate the dalvik cache everytime it boots. This is due to I have set the dalvik vm mode to int:jit and the dalvik cache has to be wiped. But don't worry, it will still boot.
Change log in version 1.2c2 :
- Major update that fixed the 'accident' (was too busying in development, sry)
- Added more useful binary into /sbin for normal boot condition and /system/bin, such as tune2fs and makee2fs
- A minor update in the post-init script that drops voodoo sound only when the string 'org.projectvoodoo.controlapp' in not found in /system/app package list (instead of totally matching the string)
Change log in version 1.2c1 (minor update that can ensure that voodoo sound is automatically installed + an accident :x ) :
- Automatically installs voodoo sound without any problem (If you find that voodoo sound is *****ing about mod developer is lame, just restart once and everything should work)
- Accidentally rolled out a development ramdisk for CWM in this release
Change log in version 1.2c (all the changes are made in ramdisk only, no kernel improvement yet) :
- Supports init.d script initialization now (Credit goes to ardatdat for original post-init.sh method)
- Using busybox instead of the crappy samsung stock toolbox binary (should be more useful if you use adbd for debug frequently) which has following 2 benefits
- Using busybox binary could also increase the performance as all the binaries are compiled with optimization (I am not totally sure about this at the moment, but it seems like the OS works faster now)
- A fully functional working bash script in /system/bin
- Network speed tweak by increasing memory buffer size for network connection (via sysctl.cfg placed in the root directory of the ramdisk)
- Has enabled many config that can avoid frequent read write to the NAND (disk) to further expand the lifespan of your device
Change log in version 1.2b :
- Added voodoo support to stock XW kernel
- Added CWM 5.0.2.8
- Modification on makefile that generates optimized code for our device
To-do list (for next major version release) :
- Add OC capability
- Installing busybox on boot.img by default <----- finished
- Add a version number in the build number <----- finished as well
Timeline :
Phase 1 : Boost performance and network speed boost by using the property I have set via default.prop and sysctl.conf (so it will work on any rom if the ROM developer doesn't override them, work best for stock ROM) <- finished, made in ver 1.3
Phase 2 : Removing those sysctl setting from the init script so that no duplicate entry is made in the ramdisk
Phase 3 : Enabling overclock in the kernel (yes 1200mhz by default but no longer 1000mhz) <----- will be the ver 1.4
Phase 4 : Patch out CWM to support backup to external sd, as well as supporting installing zip from external sd
Phase 5 : Properly adding zipalign to the kernel such that files will get zipalign-ed by default
Phase 6 : Add IO scheduler <---- Finished by half, still lots of scheduler can be added
Phase 7 : Allow the user to set CPU frequency for different CPU separately
Phase 8 : Investigate the wifi disconnect problem
Credit goes to supercurio for his old voodoo sound kernel patches made on Galaxy tab 10.1, which I have ported to this device using cherry pick method.
Kernel rev 1.3a download link (for odin) (Safe version) (without messing with /efs) (totally un-recommended as you need to wipe dalvik cache for using my kernel, CWM version does it automatically) :

Kernel rev 1.3a download link which can be flashed with CWM (Dangerous version) :
http://www.mediafire.com/?1ii2sdz1qode012
To install it (without CWM from stock firmware) :
1. Download the zip file from here and unpack it : http://www.mediafire.com/?cf6ah2cfzvcko
2. Download odin 1.8.5 from the sticky post
3. Flash the extracted .tar.md5 file with odin (just place it in PDA tab and press start after your phone has got into download mode and connected to your PC)
4. Then follow the guide below
To install it (with CWM from version other than 1.2c1) (recommended way) :
1. Download the CWM flashable zip file and then put it on your phone internal SD card (external sd card is not supported for installation at the moment, will get it supported in next build)
2. Start the phone in recovery mode with 3 buttons combo (Press the power button, and after the phone started, immediately press the volume up + home button)
2.1 If the phone is switched on, just power off it
2.2 After the phone powered off, press power button to switch it on again, after the boot logo is shown, immediately press Volume up + home button. CWM recovery mode will be shown.
3. Install the package via CWM (Install zip from sdcard)
Then reboot and restart the system twice to make sure that voodoo sound library is properly dropped.
Warning : If you are trying to update from Ultimate kernel ver 1.2c1, follow the following guide instead. I know this may be painful for you, however I am here to help you to fix the problem that I accidentally introduced in ver 1.2c1 without getting download counter increased. I apologize for any inconvenience caused. In general, if adbd is enabled on a device and if dd binary is presented, you can always use the following method to flash a kernel / CWM.
Guide post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25893081&postcount=102
To recover (uninstall my kernel) (for any errors) :
1. First open up this folder : http://www.mediafire.com/?cf6ah2cfzvcko
2. Select the target that you want (they are all flashable via CWM) :
ardatdat kernel v1.7b1 CWM -> means ardatdat kernel v1.7b1 with stock recovery ZCLA1 image (these are the images that used by ardatdat kernel by default)
ardatdat kernel v1.7b2 CWM -> means ardatdat kernel v1.7b2 with stock recovery XWLA4 image (these are the images that used by ardatdat kernel by default)
stock boot and CWM 5.0.2.8 (XWLA4) -> means stock kernel XWLA4 but with my CWM
stock boot and CWM 5.0.2.8 (ZCLA1) -> means stock kernel ZCLA1 but with my CWM
Stock boot and recovery (XWLA4) CWM -> means stock kernel and recovery image (DO NOT select this unless you want no CWM recovery and revert to default)
Stock boot and recovery (ZCLA1) CWM -> means stock kernel and recovery image (DO NOT select this unless you want no CWM recovery and revert to default)
3. Boot your phone in CWM recovery mode, select 'mounts and storage' -> 'mount USB device', copy the downloaded file to the internal sd that mounted to your PC
4. Then just flash it via CWM (Install zip from sdcard)
5. Wipe dalvik cache and cache via CWM menu
6. Reboot
And since ver 1.2c1, you no longer need to install superuser, su binary and voodoo sound seperatedly on your own now.

btw I hope that the same patch can be made to I9103_CHN_Kernel very soon. I have too much things to do atm, still a ROM and 3 exams to be finished atm.
hey thanks a lot for this but we'd like it more if it was a CWM flashable zip as the odin one increases the custom counter and we all do not have the USB jig... Can you help us with that if it's not much of a problem ?

Definitely, I will make one asap. So it will also flash superuser, su and voodoo sound @ once.
btw, I have already found a bug in voodoo sound. So I hope it can be patched in next build.
You can create it on your own.
follow these steps.
1. Download ardatdat's 1.7 kernel zip.
2. Download the Ultimate Kernel for XW.
3. Now unpack ardatdat's zip and Ultimate Kernel zip.
4. Replace Boot.ing of ardatdat's with ultimate kernel Boot.ing.
5. now zip it again.
Now you are ready to flash the Ultimate Kernel with CWM.
guys, is it possible to do so would have created backup on a removable flash drive?
Okay I have made a CWM flashable zip now. Check first post for more info.

put the package cwm + core, cwm and does backup on a removable memory stick, and, in principle, not bad!
Thanks for the wonderful kernel. It makes my phone with titanium ROM silly smooth and voodoo really rocks. For some reason I find the bass effect in ultimate better than ardatdat kernel.

Amazing sound performance with your voodoo enabled kernel.. Thank you UnknowzD...!! you rock..
i had checked this rom
but it giving error while updating zip from recovery
Thank you for your hard work and efforts for our Device.
is it possible to flash CWM 5.0.2.8 with CWM or can you please make it a separate file which we can flash from ODIN because if we flash this with kernel the Custom Count will be increased, as many of us are not having USB JIG it will be more help full for all of us.

Yes it is possible, coz I have made my recovery image seperate from the boot.img and actually you can use my recovery image with ardatdat kernel as well.

Thank you i haven't checked it, flashed it now ....
I'm getting a problem with the CWM Recovery.
Whenever i try to backup my system, it starts to backup perfect and when it reaches backing up data, data of external sd, it stops saying error in backing up data of external sd... It think it's because it's backing up in the internal sd which runs out of space...
Can you fix CWM to not back up data in internal SD and to not backup the external sd card ??

I am also having the same problem, its trying to take all the data which is present in External SD and dumping it to internal SD and giving error, may be because of insufficient space..
So can you please change the Back up location to External SD and not to take the back up of External SD card please.

Okay I will try to fix the problem tonight. Thank you for reporting the problem. In addition, I will roll out another build tonight that supports init.d script as well as installing busybox in /system partition (yes latest hacked busybox src that compiled from CM repo that gives you a much better bash shell than the original one @ /system/bin/sh. And no more crappy toolbox binary as well if they can be replaced from the one in busybox). In addition, it will also supports sysctl in the system partition so all the ROM developer do not need to use the echo '0' > /proc/sys/blah/blah/blah any more. You will just need to ship 2 files to change those values, a sysctl.conf and a init script that invokes sysctl.
brb in 2 hrs, I have to go now as having dinner with my gf.
All MT6573 android phones are plagued by low internal memory issue.
This mod works on all MT6573 Stock ROM with Stock Recovery.
Credits (In Aphabetical Order): banjo0917, casacristo, puppet13th, tazzz811, ungaze & others DEV.
Without them sharing their mods/ tools, this KANG would not be here...
BIG Kudos to them...

Added on July 07, 2012 - Version 2
Added V2 that take advantage of another unused script on Stock ROM, xlog.sh... If your MT6573 phone already have a copy of install-recovery.sh at etc folder, you can use this V2... i think with V2, you can simply install it to all MT6573 android phone without having worrying if there is a copy of install-recovery.sh at /system/etc :fingers-crossed:
Having said that, it is always safe to check with any Root Explorer & make sure you don't have an existing copy of xlog.sh at /system/etc. If there is, then save a copy to your /sdcard/scriptz folder before using V2... :victory:

---------------------------------------
Detail explanation on what this mod do
It uses install-recovery.sh/ xlog.sh (V2) to start up tweaks/ scripts at your /sdcard/scriptz folder. Inside scriptz folder, there are a few tweaks/ scripts that improve your android phone performance. The beauty of this mod is that it works like init.d but it reside on your SdCard instead of /system/etc/init.d
With normal init.d mod, any wrong tweaks, your phone will not boot or goes into bootloop ! With this SdCard Tweakz, anything wrong, just remove your SdCard & your phone will reboot normally. Then you can use any card reader to remove the scripts that causes the error.
To try any other tweaks, open any init.d tweaks with Notepad ++ or equivalent & save it as XX***.sh -> XX digit, *** -> text. For detail explanation on what you can do with SD Tweakz, you can refer to the original post here...
Again, here are the original developers/ modders in alphabetical order...
banjo0917 - Ported his custom ROM to my Mi357, this has leads me to discover that install-recovery.sh can be use on all MT6573 & ungaze SD Tweakz/ Data2SD
bgcngm - his unpack/ repack script leads me to discover unused script at boot.img
casacristo - First to compile ext2.ko so everyone can use ext2 partition on MT6573 with 2.6.35.7 kernel
DooMLoRD - Use/ modded his Easy Rooting Toolkit [v4.0](zergRush Exploit) for this mod
tazzz811 - First to discover ungaze's Data2SD can be use on MT6573
puppet13th - Use/ modded his tool for this mod earlier
ungaze - Data2SD & SD Tweakz mod
xboxexpert - Use part of his interactive script
others DEV - various scripts at scriptz folder mostly ported from banjo's ROM
---------------------------------------
Added on July 11, 2012 - Final Version via ADB
a2sd-mt6573-ext2-ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.7z
- AIO which includes rooting, auto-install busybox, su, Superuser.apk & ungaze's Data2SD & SD Tweakz
a2sd-mt6573-ext2.7z
- Install only ungaze's Data2SD & SD Tweakz for already rooted mt6573 Android phone. Make sure you have busybox prior to install this or else it will not work...
---------------------------------------
Added on July 21, 2012 - ext4 Test Version
As mention, because of work commitment, i cannot find time to fully test & release this ext4 version...Credits to Banjo0917 for compiling it...
So i'm hoping someone would take over, test it & release the stable version so that all mt6573 users can benefit from it... :laugh: It is actually a fully working version which can also be install over previous ext2 version. Problem is that it works o.k for awhile then the constant FCs...
Files are extracted from Banjo's earlier patch file, he is most active at his Pinoy forum but not here...
You can download his rom here for reference...
You can find his latest rom here...
Any taker...

Added on August 26, 2012 - Cronmod INT2EXT
Just got an update from [SCRIPTS]CronMod-A2SD/D2EXT/INT2EXT (updated 08/24)
thanks to croniccorey & mastermind1024, now you have a few more scripts that you can play with, on ur stock ROM... :victory:
INT2EXT Features
INT2EXT
- Mounts /sd-ext to /data
INT2EXT+
- Mounts /sd-ext to /data & leaves /data/data on internal for speed
INT2EXT4
-Mounts /sd-ext to /data & works with EXT 4 filesystem
INT2EXT4+
-Mounts /sd-ext to /data & leaves /data/data on internal for speed
01int2ext+deodex-mm.sh mod by mastermind1024 for deodex ROM & people facing slow system after using INT2EXT+ script. It moves /dalvik-cache back to internal so that your system response better...
Steps for Installation
1) Download AIO-mt6573-Data2sd-ext4-For Testing.7z, extract it to your desktop; scriptz_cronmod.7z , extract it to /sdcard
2) If you have already use previous mods then it is advisable to format ext2 partition first before installation. Double-click start.bat & when it is about to finish & ask Press any key to reboot . . ., just close it
3) Remove 01data2ext4.sh from /sdcard/scriptz folder
4) Copy only one of the script from /sdcard/scriptz_cronmod to /sdcard/scriptz & reboot
Enjoy & don't forget to thank the original DEV...
---------------------------------------
Added on August 30, 2012 - Amarullz Ad2sdx
i've been trying to get this mod to work on stock ROM for the longest time & now it does !
Special thanks to mastermind1024, i couldn't figure out why it doesn't work at the first place, it always shows invalid IMEI for both SIM...
You can follow Amarullz original post here
Same as Cronmod INT2EXT, only one script should be copied to /sdcard/scriptz folder...
A little explanation about the different scripts
1) Ad2sdx mod by Alex-V - moves everything to sd-ext. According to Alex, if the internal data is full with dalvik cache & you still have plenty of free memory left on sd-ext, you can't install anymore apps...With this mod, you can !
2) Ad2sdx mod by casacristo - modded to mount ext2 instead of ext4 originally. This is the original untouched mod that places the dalvik-cache and system application data to internal memory to maintain performance.
3) Ad2sdx mod by haiduongbk - reverse mount sd-ext & data
Enjoy...
---------------------------------------
Added on Sept 24, 2012 - Dark Tremor Apps2sd Version: 2.7.5.3 Beta 04
This is the last version from Dark Tremor AKA Robert Travis Kirton since Jan 2011....
i've been looking forward to his Darktremor 2.8 but sadly it never got release...
After installation, use A2SDGUI to move dalvik-cache to SD-EXT. Also included is FreeSpace to check Ext partition...
For maximum space saving, at ADB shell use command su then a2sd datasd but i must warn you it might FC later on... He did mention he was never a fan of moving the entire /data/data directory to the SD card...

Added on Oct 17, 2012 WARNING : MEDIATEK SMART PHONE FLASH TOOL
i've seen far too many times that fellow xda member make this same mistake over & over again, including myself...
So pls pls people, don't use SP Flash Tool & download ROM not meant for your phone, it will brick it & there is no way to revive it back ! After you have download wrong PRELOADER, your phone will be completely dead, cannot power on, no charging, no recovery, no USB vcom detection & you can say
to it...
Here is the WARNING again :
NEVER DOWNLOAD ROM NOT MEANT FOR YOUR PHONE. IT WILL BRICK IT !
If I would have seen this post before my phone wouldn't have been bricked
Anyway kudos to poster & developers
there are a lot of beginners would like to know how to install this into their MT6573 phone...
well...

Auto Installation using ADB
1. Download & install usb driver from the above link if your phone doesn't comes with it.
2. Copy the extracted ADB folder to c:\ drive.
3. Double click Start.bat & all files will be installed.
4. Follow on-screen for instructions.
@sevensaints
First, on your android phone, enable usb debugging... Setting -> Applications -> Development -> put a check mark on "USB debugging"
Typically, when you plug-in your android phone, windows will detect it & will prompt you to install the driver...if it doesn't then follow the steps below...
Go to Device Manager -> double click on the MT65xx Android Phone -> Update Driver -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> Next -> Have Disk -> Browse -> to wherever you have extracted the downloaded google usb driver -> android_winusb.inf -> OK -> Next -> Install -> Close -> Close
Whew, i actually replicate the actual step, by step... There is also another auto-installer, Pdanet, you can check it out...
Then double-click SuperOneClick & it will do its job... :victory: Answer yes when ask whether to install busybox
Actually, rooting & installing google sdk usb driver is scattered everywhere on the web & also here at xda...SuperOneClick
@breaky9973
Thanks, breaky9973...It would be great if you could post the model of your MT6573 then others users will benefit from it too... :victory:
I have an i-mobile i695 and I got it succesfully restored (with one minor issue).
Your script works for me but it took me a couple of restarts to be fully initialized on my phone.
guys, thank you so much for your feedback...
@breaky9973
actually, it works right after reboot, the problem is mediatek's mt6573 is kinda of slow while booting up & yes, what you said is correct, it actually needs around 1 to 2 minutes to fully initialized... :silly:
@sevensaints
when i got my android phone, 1st week got it rooted, 2nd week brick it, 3rd week found russian forum to restore it back... :laugh: i presume most users will root their phone once they got their hands on it... Point taken, i have included DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit with it now... :good:
As mention before, would appreciate if you guys that has this mod working on your phone to reply with the model of your mt6573 so that other users would benefit from it too...
Thanks...
Hello yuweng,
Just want to confirm this mod works on Nexian A899 based on MT6573 stockrom. because of I used Link2SD before, seem like get problem to increased the internal storage and after factory reset, it works! get it free of 1.3 GB
btw, the start.bat not works under Win7..only works under WinXP.
Thanks! :good:
Thank you so much for your feedback, para_dox77... :laugh:
Actually, best size for sd-ext is 1GB. i've install 200 over games to test & found out that after 1.2 GB of data fill up, after reboot, the launcher screen is not responding, all apps are missing & i have to wait around 3 to 4 minutes then everything show up ! After that, everything is quite responsive. So i guess thats the max. Same as our PC... On top of that, you'll save 500MB of space if you format your sd-ext 1GB instead of 1.5GB...
Both ported scripts are develop & tested on Win7 OS, so my best guest is that you didn't turn off the user account control settings...it'll block whatsoever bat/ exe/ setup file that is trying to run...
Another lesson learn, so guys please delete whatsoever link2sd, a2sd, d2sd & etc that you have or else this mod will not work... :fingers-crossed:
By the way, this mod should be call data2sd or d2sd...You can refer to this post by croniccorey. You can also try his scripts & see if it works on our mt6573...been super busy with work lately so no time for modding...
Hey, this is great! but I am having a little issue. I have a "NEOBOX NEO" phone, and since I was stuck with the stock recovery I could add init.d support but no ext2 support so I was using link2sd with a fat32 partition, but I still had problems with storage. I uninstalled links2sd and formatted the partition to ext2, ran the .bat and it worked, now I have plenty of space and no more annoying low space messages. The thing is, whenever my phone sleeps, when I turn the screen on, it hangs for a while, and then it prompts like 3 to 5 times like it has a new sim card. My guess is that it moved the sim app to the sd and when it sleeps it is not actually reading from the card hence the problem. I haven't done any further testing but I am guessing this would also cause trouble with other apps that need to be running in the background like messaging and whatsapp and basically anything that syncs. And if I am right and that is the problem, then the solution would involve having the phone not to sleep and thus drain the battery very fast. Correct me if I am wrong (and I certainly hope I am because otherwise this seems great and the solution to my problem)
EDIT: it does the "sim thing" not only when sleeping but anytime. specially anoying when listening to music. Anyone with the same/similar issue? the card is a 16gb verbatim HC card class 10. never had a problem with it b4.
Hi jinxie,
I've read alot on generic a2sd mod, data2sd & etc; many users has been reporting problem with class 10...
My suggestion to you is that you remove all scripts except 01data2ext.sh & monitor from there onward...
This is the best part of ungaze's SD Tweakz, just add or remove any old/ new tweak scripts from your SdCard scriptz folder & you phone will be back to normal or even better/ faster with the correct modded scripts... :good:
The other thing is that i change the read_ahead_kb from the original 03tweakz.sh; from 1024 to 8192... You can refer to here for more info... May be it is too high for class 10... Use Notepad ++ & change it to a lower value...

Thanks for the quick reply! I will try that!
So, update: After trying it yesterday all day, very unstable, rebooted like a ziliion times, and then it looked like finally everything was in place and it started to work fine, so I installed a bunch of apps. Like 5 or 6, usual stuff, facebook, twitter, etc., rebooted, and now it bootloops. removed the card and boots fine of course, but no freaking space. What now? heh
UPDATE:
I decided to do a clean install, and since there is no custom recovery for my device I cant flash zips, I erased all data and flashed the system.img partition again. I also formated both fat32 and ext2 partitions from the sd card. Then I applied your script (prior to that y reduced the read ahead kb you mentioned by half). No luck, same issues. So i deleted all scripts but the data2ext. It runs better, but I still get FCs, it hangs for a few secs, then I lose all connectivity with the "restricted access changed" message, and the new sim detected pops up constantly, so I also get a lot of dropped calls. I also noticed battery drainage, much faster than before, I think it is because of the same connectivity issue since looking for networks does drain a lot of battery.
Apparently, it has to do with data connection, since I have deactivated it and for the past hour I haven't had those problems, but I can't tell for sure, I'll test wifi when I get home.
Thanks so much for the update, jinxie...
AFAICR, some mt6573 has different mtd for system.img...
at adb shell, cat /proc/mtd & see if it is mtd11...
if it is different then i think you have to edit 01data2ext.sh, line 22, 33, 130, 138 to your system.img mtd location...
hope it works out for u... :fingers-crossed:
Added on August 03, 2012 - Earlier original ungaze [mod][mt6573] Data2sd on stock rom Test Version
Attach script is the original script format from ungaze's Data2SD... :fingers-crossed:
Steps
Option 1 - Replace file at SdCard
1) Delete 01data2ext.sh from SdCard scriptz folder
2) Format SdCard ext2 partition
3) Restart & let it settle down
4) Copy this file to your SdCard scriptz folder & restart
Option 2 - Reinstall this mod all over again
1) Format SdCard ext2 partition, factory reset, wipe data
2) Restart & let it settle down
3) Copy this file to & delete 01data2ext.sh -> files -> scriptz folder & run start.bat
I had a record of my tables but I cant find it, but if the mtd was different shouldn't it not work at all? because it does work, I have the internal memory the size of the partition, but it is unstable and slow.
I installed terminal but it FCs so I am installing ADB because I formatted my pc recently so I will tell you in a few minutes.
Btw it seems the SIM card problem only happens when the data connection is active, maybe it has to do with the network changes from E to 3G and H. I haven't been able to disable fast dormancy. The battery consumption showed almost 50% in Cell standby. But it still hangs, FCs and that kind of weir stuff that makes it really hard to use and a challenge to my patience. Thank you for all your help. Is there any other alternative you would recommend for the low storage issue for us the poor ones with stock recovery? Link2sd worked for a while but then memory got full anyways, dont know why because I had almost every app on the SD. I wish I could use a2sdx...
EDIT: yup system is mtd11 :S
my mt6573 will be monster after this
thanks
perfect on b63m..i try casacristo ext2 script..
@loris22
Thank you so much for your feedback, another phone added to the list... :laugh:
@y2yu
Wow, you post reply here & on my other thread, hope you find my KANG useful... :fingers-crossed:
hi
without a custom recovery there are some way to make a2sd work?
Yes, in fact you can ! But it will be quite tedious as you need to manually copy a2sd's files to its appropriate folders, manually set permissions & etc for it to work.... And you will also need bgcngm's MTK-Tools to unpack boot.img...You can refer to here for more info...
Why don't you use my universal cwmr Android Kitchen plugins for porting cwmr to ur MT6573 ?
I've created this thread specially for MT6573 users that are happy with their stock ROM but needed larger internal memory...
Originally, most of these data2sd scripts require some kind of modding to the boot.img or system.img while the one here doesn't require any of that...
Kudos to the original DEVs for these excellent scripts....

CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY
THANKS TO RUSSIAN developer - Mr.Arsenev.
I have attached the link to clockworkmod recovery. But, the file is complete Rom. So, you have to download complete Rom files.
Flash through Smartphone flash tool and Good guide is here - http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.in/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html
Remove the recovery file from the downloaded Rom files and replace the attached recovery file. I dont know to separetly to flash the recovery. If anybody know, Please help. So, while flashing only select 'Recovery' and follow the 'bm-smartphone' guide. Your downloaded Rom is not waste, because that is 23.07.2012 build. so you can use also that Rom. But anyway stock rom is best.
Link for 23.07.12 build - http://narod.ru/disk/60288821001.67...723_e1808_v75_hjy1a6x__Flashtool_4.0.zip.html

Dear friends,
I solved my problem myself. I got firmware from Russian friends and flashed successfully before 2 days. My only little issue is back camera gives inverted shots. I am searching for rear camera driver. Other than everything is well.
After sending mail to NXG , they sent firmware after 4 days. But that firmware gives error (flash scatter file is invalid) and I cant flash the NXG firmware.

@Galon123
dude, to back up your imei, your phone must be r00ted. open your root explorer or similiar, go to " /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/ ". You will find a file named "MP0B_001", copy it to your sdcard or maybe pc/laptop for future use. So you can paste it into the same folder, and you get your imei back if in case you traped inside "Invalid Imei" problem.

"Those, who fail to read history are bound to repeat its mistakes"
People here have and did and will fail to read the things here and many did and many probably will have to lose their devices. You don't have to lose a device to get knowledge inbetween your ears.You don't have to be stupid. You surely can learn from your mistakes. But There's a better way. You can learn from others mistakes. This thread is a compilation of such mistakes ,that I personally have done and many others ,who did and their solutions aka The easy ways.
So, officially I congratulate you for finding this thread and reading Upto here. So, even if you don't read the whole thread, these are the main stuff you must know is
1. Rooting is a dangerous process -done by developers only. If you did root your device, you assume full responsibility for your device. So, if you can't think like one of the developers at least partly, I suggest you don't root your device ,coz when you mess up, the one who deviced the procedure or Rom will not help you. And everything you find here is in "AS IS " tag.
2.If you have rooted, next thing you must do is backup-
Go to recovery,
go to backup and restore
click backup.
I find it strange that this is not included in the root procedure. This surely would've helped a lot of Picos out there.
3.NEVER DO A RUU
-It unanimously holds the number ONE title for the major causes of bricking of Picos.
Trust me -Surely you can save your device, without the ruu. And with ruu, you're bound to fail without proper knowledge and research.
The only time you are suggested by experts to do a ruu is when you have already done a ruu "and" bricked it.
4. Overclocking here may cause burnt nand. -know what Rom you're using-it may have built in-overclock .
However, overclocking doesn't necessarily produce burnt-nand for all devices.
5.Finally, Not all answers you receive in the question and answer thread are good. Some answers will kill your device. So please judge the credibility of the answerer before you follow the answers. Generally, you could track back their previous answers and their working. Thanks meter is a good source of credibility -but not always -Not all who have big thanks record are helpful neither are they knowledgeable-There are spammers, who trick people into giving thanks.Do your home work before you trust a stranger. Recognized developer title is a good source of credibility.
The above five should save you a lot of trouble.
Ever in trouble? Drop by and read.
Do your googling,if you don't understand anything here.Have a great time !

First thing to do after root is to make a nandroid backup.
Go to backup and restore and select backup
1.what is this partition?
It contains your recovery
2.what is recovery?
It's a specialized partition for Android, which is used when something goes wrong.
We use it to change (flash) Roms, change kernels and mostly everything in xda. Make nandroid before you mess up
3. What are the recoveries available for a310e ?
1 .yannou90 (cwm5) recovery
2.Twrp 2 .3 by cute prince

The 1 and 5 are pretty stable.
What's not working:
cwm6 by sak let me down big time .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38734554
Except 1,all other recoveries will not show charging animation, when you are charging your phone after switching it off ~instead of charging animation ~you'll be going to recovery
twrp official - some problems with ext4 partition has been reported and also reported to have been fixed. -I never had the problem before and after and I recommend this one 2.5 present here in xda.
twrp cute prince has issues restoring backups (problem with symlink )
5.what's the difference between them?
cwm5 - complete backups of all partitions
twrp - support compressed backups /file manager and other great things
cwm6 - your SD ext partitions will not be fully backed up during subsequent backups,but only the changed files greatly reducing the size of subsequent backups
6. Can you explain more about cwm ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38100620
7. Recommended apps.?
Recovery file manager aroma 1.8
8. How to flash a recovery?
Two methods described in detail in link above by bhargz16 ~ fast boot
Flash from phone:
Required:
Flash_image binary
You can flash any recovery
From terminal using
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
You need recovery.img (renamed like that ) present in /sdcard itself
9. Error while restoring .Androidsecure /sdext ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39874898
10. Cannot go to recovery /burnt recovery /unable to flash recovery?
Use
Code:
fastboot boot recovery /sdcard/twrp5.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot /sdcard/twrp5.img
You need twrp5.img or recovery.img present in /SDcard and renamed like that itself.
After booting into recovery, you can do everything you please. ~flash erase format and install new Rom and boot the device
After booting up the device, flash erase mtd1 through terminal emulator.and then flash a suitable small recovery. And then pledge here that you'll never overclock ever again.

The nothing really bugs list
Welcome to THE "NOTHING REALLY" BUGS™
This is the official nothing really bugs Pico web post at xda. Its name implies that the bugs present are really nothing to some people. But to the rest, it may bother a lot. So, this post.
Here you'll find most of the nothing really bugs. All statements having "Nothing really " in bugs list directs here. This is to inform new flashers of what they'll get and what they won't. To make the facts clear,so that you won't have to flash every Rom to find out all the nothing really™ bugs. After all, this is a newbie friendly thread.
Please note that though every effort has been taken to ensure an exhaustive list of all the bugs .Some may not have been stated here .If you do find a bug, which isn't stated here, please feel free to mention it here and I'll add it after being personally confirmation by me or two to three renowned senior member witnesses. Further more, some bugs here may have been fixed. You can take a look at the last edited day of this post to make sure this post is up to date. And you can mention it here,if any of the information found here is wrong.

3.what doesn't work in Original HTC STOCK ROM?
A. if you ever click "reset to default" in the Camcorder settings..,all future video recordings will overwrite already taken videos and all previous videos will be lost(use ucam)
B. sending a more than 150MB file on Bluetooth file manager app through Bluetooth will reboot your device.

QUESTION NUMBER 11 ABOVE
Go back to main ^|^
Re: [faq][newbies only][mini edition]
/DATA (150 MB )
1.WHat's this?
It is the internal memory
2.Why is it important?
Because this is the place where all the apps go
No /data = no more apps
3.what's our available internal memory?
150 MB
User available 90 MB
4. Any way to increase internal memory?
By scripts
5 .Recommended apps to diagnose application not installed
Diskusage app
Log cat
6. What does a app contain?
App when installed splits into apk dex,and data(lib+data) files
Go back to main ^|^
Re: [faq][newbies only][mini edition]
SCRIPTS
Before we start, a app when installed takes space as three parts.
They are apk,dex and data (lib+app data)
All scripts work by symlinking
1. What are the scripts available for our explorer?
Partial scripts
A.Link2SD app
Moves apk,dex,lib~doesn't move app data
B.Root data2SD app
Need ext partitions
Moves application data2 ext
Full scripts--Need init.d support able to move fully /partially as per requirements
Links available in index
1.Mount2SD
Download from play store or from here check index
Famous for it's stability and frequent updates
Issues +
2. Int2ext
As per script, moves partially /fully .
Has a large user base
issues ++
3.s2e
Moves fully.
Issues +++
NO official version for jelly beans.
4.a2sd darktremor
Issues ++++
However works pretty well with stock Rom and jaggy Rom
Discontinued
5.ungaze script
Issues +++++
I don't recommend it.
Why not?
Because

1.1 mount2SD doesn't work? Script not executed fully @ boot?
Flash kernel 2.6 from above and you should be good to go.
2. How do I increase internal memory (literally ) from 150 MB to 2GB(for example SD ext )?
Use mount2SD reverse mount
Use int2ext
Side effects:
As per Android rules, 10% of internal memory will be unavailable
So, 200 MB out of 2GB SD ext will be unavailable
Mount2SD also has normal moving methods ,which will make Android think you'll have 150MB but you can fill up 2GB inside of 150 MB (Here 10% would mean 15 MB)
3. I installed d2ext/similar ,I'm not able to install more apps ,even though I have more SD ext space?.
A. First make sure you don't hit 10% data limit described above
B. Use diskusage app to determine,which partitions are full
For example- some scripts don't move dalvik and so dalvik will fully accumulate in /data creating no space.
C. Fix permissions from recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot.
4. My Rom doesn't have init.d support /I'm using stock Rom?
Check index
You can add init.d support by
Flashing custom kernel (cranium)
Flashing scripts to make init.d support (or pimp my Rom app[not tested])
5. Where to add scripts before flashing Rom?
Add it in /system/etc/init.d (permissions are rwx rwx rwx ,if you're adding this in recovery after flashing )
For mount2SD add configurations folder in /data/m2sd.
6. How to migrate from link2SD to mount2SD?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38840247
7. Is there a full script so that I can use both my internal memory and SD ext?
A bit complicated, but this what I use...
Configure mount2SD
To move both apk and dalvik
Don't move data.
Then open titanium backup to move app data
@First move one app data to create data2SD directory.. then you can batch move whatever apps you think fit.
But please make sure you have at least 10 to 30 MB in /data and in/SD ext (SD ext not necessarily ) before a nandroid backup. Otherwise restoreS will not work.

Re: [faq][newbies only][mini edition]
Common issues with scripts:
0. Device stuck @ HTC logo with 4 error icons on all four corners
Since you flashed an ruu and failed user data fail etc.
Unlock bootloader if possible
Flash twrp recovery again
Code:
fastboot flash recovery.img
Then go to recovery with this command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery
Now that you're in recovery wipe everything, format everything .
If flashing failed /you can't enter recovery, do this keeping twrp recovery.img in /SDcard
Code:
fastboot boot /sdcard/recovery.img
Do cute prince recovery procedure shown in burnt nand section
Flash erase mtd3 as well
Now Flash your Rom and boot
If it doesn't boot, repeat the whole procedure above and now
Do ruu.
If all the above failed,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39181288
Read the above thread fully. That's the last resort.
Moral : Don't ever Flash an RUU (if you haven't already )
You can Flash stock Rom ~safer
1. Device struck in HTC logo
Wait for 15 minutes
Try pulling out battery and reboot
Update busybox and try installing scripts again
Convert your partition to ext3
Change your kernel to 2.6
2. Mount2SD ~apps update after every boot?
Turn cache off in app
Turn safe mode off
Clear cache and dalvik ~fix permissions ~reboot
Common issues after flashing:
1. I get status 7 error?
Open archive with Bluetooth file manager and check archive integrity
Try different compression method(thanks hpsgill)
Delete system apps
2. I get status 0 error?
Update binary used is different
Exchanged update binary from a working zip to this one
Other errors can be cured by changing recovery .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38469360
Common issues after flashing Rom:
1. Always do a clean install
To wipe everything except /sdcard.
Even in /sdcard delete Android /data after backup
2. No I won't listen. I want to do you a dirty install. Show me how?
Your choice
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35903694
3. I get force closes of all apps?
Dalvik problem.
Clear cache and dalvik cache and reboot
4.I get force close of a specific app?
If it's a paid app, then you need to change your Android id to your original Id with Android id changer /titanium backup
Not a paid app?
Clear cache and data of that app and reboot
Fix permissions
5.reboot after reboot?
Thanks bhargz16
Kernel problem. Change kernel
GAPPS:
1. This gapp always force closes?
A. If it's a gapp found on play, just uninstall that gapp from system using titanium backup and then reboot and install from play store.
B.if not found on play, then try flashing a different gapps version from goo.im .
Make sure you have enough space on /system and on /cache before flashing and then flash. If not delete unused apps like stock keyboard ,etc
2. RPS5~AEC0/927/any other error while downloading apps from play?
A. Clear data cache of play store app
Reboot
B. Clear data of google services framework
Reboot
C. Remove your google account and re add it. Reboot.- this worked for me.
3. All my apps are missing from installed apps in play?
Wait for some time,if you've flashed a new Rom
Clear data and cache of play store
Reboot
Download app eric market fix *use @ your own risk *

SCREEN AND POWER BUTTON and soft keys:
1.SCREEN turns on after turning off ?
A. Some apps are trying to make screen on. After screen turns on, go to settings immediately and open running applications, you may be able to find the culprit. It's probably the app, which is restarting. Some apps like lock any app screen etc. Logs could be helpful.
B. Some users reported it could be a hardware problem -look below for power button issues.
C. Some users reported it could be a script problem (rare )
2. My home screen button and /or search buttons doesn't work?
A. Did you do a dirty install of new Rom
Clear cache and dalvik and fix permissions and reboot
B. Copy com.Android.providers.settings /databases from your previous nandroid backups(use yaffs file manager /nandroid manager)and paste it in it's respective location now (paste it using file manager in recovery )
C. If that doesn't work, clean install again

1. Who are the developers that make these roms?
1. Cute_prince
2.sakîndia123
3.derefas
4.lirokoa
5.liverpool fan
6.bhargz16
7.nihar.g
8.ngolralph
And many others. The above are the developers of the roms that I used and present in no order.
2. Why doesn't sakindia123 update the OP ?
Disclaimer: Since it is one of the most faq by newbie,I'm forced to discuss here. I personally do not know sakîndia. If you still want more info, contact senior member hpsgill
You see.. He does nothing without reason. If he doesn't, then the last build present in op will be more /less equal to the latest build. There are other reasons ,which if I had to speak of them all, time wouldn't let me and I would have to deal with flaming members and mods and deleted posts and locked threads . Furthermore that question is well out of the scope of this thread. You are instructed not to ask this question any where.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
3. How can I contact these developers?
You can by studying Android development and codes, bccms,404s,tr2s and then talking to them. You'll have better luck talking with non recognized developers than the rds.
And try discussion threads .
4. Why doesn't a developer answer my question? (I'm being polite here)
Because the developer doesn't know the answer
w.r.f to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38095857
Or your question has already been answered. Try searching for your question at the least 10 pages back.
or your question is too silly to answer
Or your question is not seen ,because they don't have time .
5. Why do they do this ?
For passion of development, addicted, and for learning purposes.
So, that means they don't work for you. They don't help you. They do what they want.
6. I feel a emptiness around forum members. Was there a developer who worked here, yet left without goodbye?
Well not sure about goodbye, but yes his name is jaggyjags.
sakIndia123 came only late and his first work his cranium kernel, which he abandoned like it was nothing.. buried it along with jags. Cruel things did happen before you were here.

It's condition caused by overclocking(oc)[CPU oc ,to be specific. For gpu oc,go to the last part of this post question 10 ] resulting in bad blocks all over your system, data, cache and recovery.
Important: Use diskusage app to determine size. Don't go by phone's inbuilt settings

4. What are the symptoms of burnt nand?
Early symptoms:
You'll notice a strong drop in your free space in /data
Late symptoms:
/data free space is Nil /below 50%of what you saw before
Error in /cache /recovery/log.
Error in /cache/recovery/last log.Not readable.
No apps can be installed
Rom lags like hell
No Rom can be flashed /boots
Previous nandroids ,which are successfully restored before fails to restore now.
Really abrupt and fast restores with twrp
RUU cannot be done ~user data(mtd5) fail. System fail (mtd3)
5. How can I diagnose burnt nand early?
If you suspect burnt nand ,
1.Watch out for free space in /data and watch out for sharp reduction.
2.Download this app Disk Usage and watch out for increase in system data in /data

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1.DOWNLOAD THE TERMINAL.ZIP ATTACHED BELOW
2.EXTRACT TERMINAL.ZIP INTO /SDCARD/lol [create a folder named lol[small letters ]in SDcard, if there already isn't one ]
3.Open terminal emulator on your phone
4.type or copy and paste this code and press enter
Code:
su
cp /sdcard/lol/runme.sh /r.sh
chmod 0755 /r.sh
/r.sh
5.if it doesn't work first time, paste twice.
6.If pasting twice doesn't work, type each code one by one -you'll surely get it. Come on-its just 4 lines -type it lazy!
And Now you'll see the number of bad blocks you've got.
You can also Flash the zip below[for which you have to go to recovery ]or execute the attached script badblocks.sh as root.
6. What are the parts affected by burning?
Proved to affect

Not sure of the exact command,but will work.
Use
Code:
fastboot boot recovery /sdcard/twrp5.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot /sdcard/twrp5.img
You need twrp5.img or recovery.img present in /SDcard and renamed like that itself.
After booting into recovery, you can do everything you please. ~flash erase format and install new Rom and boot the device [do ruu here, if you haven't been able to enter hboot before]
After booting up the device, flash erase mtd1 through terminal emulator.and then flash a suitable small recovery. And then pledge here that you'll never overclock ever again.
12. GPU OC ?
gpu oc has been reverted along with CPU oc by sak for burnt nand. But may be added later. but not present in cm released on or two months before 9 may13.
12.1 is it safe?
I don't know. CPU oc did provide burnt nand and bad blocks. Gpu oc may also do some things, which may not be seen as of now. I've seen one case complaining that, after using Cyanogen and going back to stock - games started lagging, which did not lag, when he was in stock before. The reliability is doubtful. But not much people go back to stock either -so not much can be said.
12.2 do you recommend it?
"If any provider of any oc removes the "AS IS" tag and take responsibility,if something happens, then I'll probably may use that oc,otherwise count me out".
12.3 How to remove gpu oc ?
Its present in kernel. Flash another kernel. Or modify source and compile yourself.
Present at arch/arm/mach-msm/msm7x27a.c- kernel source.
Try here
Normal [bus, Gpu] is [0,133330000],[160000000,192000000],[200000000,245760000] I think.

A. If you're on stock, the rest is automatic
B.if you're on cyanogen 9/10/11,if you change the droid sans /others as recommended by app, you'll end up in boot loop (possibly because of symlinking of robot sans & droid sans )
In such a case go to preferences and click to overwrite only roboto regular font and everything will be fine.

3. How do I add a new language support to my device?
Note: no new language gui can be added by this method. This only adds support. Instead of seeing boxes, you may see your language. If you want full language support, you can go to this abandoned thread.?? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40890599 ??
Language support can simply be added by adding a Android supported language font file in /system /fonts and give it permissions rw r. r.(font files can be found all over xda )
Step 2. Open system /etc /fallbackfonts.xml...
There should be a lot of font file names there.. just delete a font name that you don't want and add your font file name (the name of the file which you put in /system /fonts)
In there.
Practice makes perfect.
This method however doesn't work /only partly works for complex languages /script like Hindi Arabic etc.
DID YOU KNOW?
1. Long pressing reboot button (in the menu after pressing power key) will get you into safe mode
2. Long pressing power keys and volume keys + and- for more than 30 seconds will reboot your device (tk to hrkh83)
3. Repeatedly pressing certain options(like Android version) in the about menu in settings(on cyanogen ) will take you into different settings (tk liverpoolfan)

Battery drain
BATTERY DRAIN
Of course, we're gonna talk about drain.
Before we start, I want to disprove some prevalent concepts
1. Battery calibration
It is supposed to increase Battery capacity and increase Battery life and it makes your phone to show the correct Battery on the notification bar.
FALSE
It doesn't do any of those. Calibration is just deleting Batterystats.bin file. That file holds info about how many seconds each apps were running for.typically it's blameometer. It shows the information you see in the battery chart in your settings. Nothing more.
Source: article
2. Cycling your battery life from 0 to 100 and 100 to 0 will typically increase Battery life. Further more you should make sure it comes to zero by turning on the phone,every time it got switched off on it's own.
FALSE AGAIN
Nothing could destroy your Li-On Battery than extreme low voltage. You can be sure that this will destroy your battery life more than anything. During storage it's recommended to keep the battery in cool place with 40%Battery.
So, don't use any battery draining app from market.
Ok, since we took out the false foundation, it's time to put some true working tips to save your battery during usage and it's overall life
1. It's recommended to charge as often as possible ~every time you get a socket. Though not to keep @100 all the time. Overcharging theoretically may damage your battery, but your phone comes with various safety mechanisms to prevent charging after that.
2. Limit the number of apps. Definitely would produce good Battery.
3. Limit the number of apps, that run in background all the time.
Typical example would be facebook.
PERFORMANCE:
4.Disable autostarts for all apps, that you don't use much~using autostart manager.
Disabling autostarts for the clock app will make you get up late. Use common sense.
This alone should drastically improve your performance
5.Use lightweight launchers ~Nova.
Go (any go products) is not advisable
6.Post ICS, Disable media scanner receiver.
You can use elixir app to disable media scanner receiver. This will scan your SDcard over and over again resulting in Battery drain,which is significant, if you use a bigger SD. Use media scanner root to enable and disable.
As far as the usual ones,
7. Disable autobrightness
8. Keep screen @ minimum brightness
9. Disable autorotation
10. Disable location services.
GAPPS:
11. Disable GSF (google services framework ) receivers ~the ones with gtalk on it.
12. Disable auto sync
You can use timedo /timer Android to turn on sync twice /thrice daily.
13. Reduce number of accounts. Better to keep single than three accounts.
14. Good internet connection. Amount of energy taken to re connect is supposed to be far more than amount needed to keep a connection.
15. Undervolt/with underclock
RECOMMENDED APPS:
1.BETTER BATTERY STATS ~free for xda.
2. Onepower guard
I haven't found satisfying results with this app, but still try it out
3.greenIFY
I haven't used this @ all.
4. Any app, that is used to reduce /increase heartbeat sent to google servers.
Well, that's all I've learnt as of now.

Autoramdisk exchange alpha
MINI ADVANCED SECTION:
KERNEL RAMDISK exchange on Android itself:wip
AUTORAMDISK™ EXCHANGE PROJECT alpha™

In association with

Presents
AUTORAMDISK™ EXCHANGE PROJECT alpha™
Current version: 0.0.0.0.071 Alpha
Created with Es explorer 1.6
Created on HTC explorer Pico a310e
Update:
I have got it to work and complete
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40035607
Old post: too lazy to delete
Present condition:
Hi. I cannot get it to work on HTC Pico yet .It may work on other phones. If someone can, please feel free to complete it provided you give proper credits And you do not make money out of this.
What's this?
It's a procedure (wip) to Flash any kernel without the need to change ramdisk.
As new kernel gets released, you don't need to change ramdisk to suit your Rom.
Automated procedure:
Open any kernel.zip with any zip extractor on your phone
Copy the script below and paste it in updater-script present in meta~inf/com/google/Android
(delete any other things written there. )
Code:
package_extract_dir("bin","/tmp");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/busybox");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/unpack-bootimg");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/mkbootimg");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/tmp/dump_image");
run_program("/sbin/dump_image","boot","/tmp/oldboot.img");
run_program("/tmp/unpack-bootimg", "-i","/tmp/oldboot.img","-o","/tmp");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "mkdir","/tmp/boot");
run_program("/tmp/unpack-bootimg", "-i","/tmp/boot.img","-o","/tmp/boot");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "rm","-r","/tmp/kernel");
run_program("/tmp/busybox", "mv","/tmp/boot/kernel","/tmp/kernel");
run_program("/tmp/mkbootimg", "--ramdisk","/tmp/ramdisk.cpio.gz","--kernel","/tmp/kernel","-o","/tmp/newboot.img");
write_raw_image("/tmp/newboot.img", "boot");
delete_recursive("/tmp/newboot.img", "/tmp/boot", "/tmp/oldboot.img", "/tmp/kernel", "/tmp/ramdisk.cpio.gz","/tmp/boot.img", "/tmp/busybox", "/tmp/unpack-bootimg", "/tmp/mkbootimg");
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
Download zip files from the source link below
Extract it and copy the bin folder from there to your kernel folder directly.
There should be 3 folders in your kernel folder ~bin folder, meta inf folder, system folder and boot.img
Now compress it and Flash
Note that this is only applicable to change ramdisk. If the boot. Img needs more work than that, it won't work. Essentially, it won't work on sense4 compiled kernels and vice versa
Manual terminal emulator method:
Alright guys, one last tutorial from me making my last mark here .This tutorial is not tested fully and probably never will be due to lack of time. And it will work for sure ~but May have syntax errors.
Credits:
1.trevd for arm executable binaries.
2.Xda university.
Requirements:
1.Any Android 2.3+ rooted
2.Android terminal emulator
3.arm executable unpack-bootimg binary and mkbootimg binaries (find it below )
History:
I wanted to change ramdisk for kernels for a long time on phone itself ~probably for a year or more . But anyone who tried to unpack using normal unzip apps would've noticed that other data.img and even system.img in clockworkmod could be unpacked easily, but not the boot.img and recovery.img. When I searched to unpack, it was easy with computers using the unpackbootimg binary for Linux. Problem was it wasn't cross compatible with our phones . So, I was searching for quite a while,until I found trev on xda university and he had made arm executable binaries for unpacking, repacking. Actually the main reason these binaries were created was for far greater and more advanced purposes i.e. to use apply patch functions in update binary and update script to Flash ramdisk on phone without flashing the kernel itself or vice versa (AFAIK)[ The apply patch functions are used in normal ota updates for any Android phone ]. Anyway I took those binaries to unpack kernels on our phone to change ramdisk. I write this for those, who want to change ramdisk on thier phone, but had no experience in PC whatsoever. And also by doing this, I share the unpack boot image binaries by trevd for Android phone ,so that any advanced member May use it for kernel updater scripts~think about it ~one zip for all cm9/10/10.1. Ofcourse the rest is up to you. Thanks for reading
Procedure:
1.Download the zip given in source below
2.Unpack it
3.Find these two binaries in /system/bin
Unpack-bootimg and mkbootimg
4.Copy them to /system/bin and give them full execute permissions in es explorer and read/write permission for user.
5.For easy remembrance,say, b1.img is your original boot image for your Rom(and Android,say cm10 ) and b2.img is the new kernel released for cm10.1
6.You want to change the ramdisk ofb2 cm10.1 to cm10 ,so that you can Flash the new kernelb2 for your cm10
7.Create new folder in SDcard named boot and put both b1.img and b2.img there
8.Open terminal.
9.type the following code one by one
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/boot
mkdir /sdcard/boot/b1
mkdir /sdcard/boot/b2
unpack-bootimg -i /sdcard/boot/b1.img -o /sdcard/boot/b1
unpack-bootimg -i /sdcard/boot/b2.img -o /sdcard/boot/b2
rm /sdcard/boot/b2/ramdisk.cpio.gz
mv /sdcard/boot/b1/ramdisk.cpio.gz /sdcard/boot/b2/ramdisk.cpio.gz
mkbootimg --kernel /sdcard/boot/b2/kernel.img --ramdisk /sdcard/boot/b2/ramdisk.cpio.gz --base 12C00000 -o /sdcard/b2new.img
rm -r /sdcard/boot
Note: the last rm command will delete all your old kernels ~don't execute it, if you don't want to have it deleted.
10.Now you have new kernel boot image with your ramdisk in /sdcard/b2new.img
11.Put it back in the zip with it's modules and
12. Flash
13.Hoping it'll work.
14.That's the end.
Source and binaries here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36931024
For dream and Sapphire models, you can use the binaries created by koush ~ which is found in his github ~any kernel project.
I'll probably be leaving soon
Kind of feel like working for xda. I guess sak and others would probably feel like it later. It's been great while it lasted. So this is probably my last project. If I did have some extra hardware during this period, things May have been different. It's good, while it lasted.
"The fantasy of a dream is that, it's still a dream, when it becomes reality, then it's no more a dream and the fantasy is lost. "
「Good bye xda」
So long:angel:
