rooting tip:
since basically rooting will or might void warranty right,so ill share what i did to a friends phone...
basically just created a nandroid back up of his current rom using skins recovery..
then installed a new custom rom(rooted rom)
voila...2 bird 1 stone,,,custom rom and root at the same time...
and in case you want the old one back just restore to back up..
not sure if this method counts the bin....
here is for the list of updating to official and unofficial stock roms

Flash Kernel Without Increasing Custom Bin Count
Special Thanks to FAQBLY For This Wonderful zip
faqbly has compiled a script that can flash boot.img from CWM Recovery and it will not increase Custom Bin Count.
Benefits
You can Install Custom Kernel without increasing your Custom Bin Count.
Below is the ZIP file from faqbly
http://www.mediafire.com/?26928er6dqmucrm
Instructions:
In the .zip file provided by faqbly, you have to replace the boot.img with the boot.img from the tar file of a kernel
Example would be to download kernel from Maroc-OS
You Will Have A .tar file that contains the boot.img

HOW TO FLASH KERNEL GUIDE THE EASIEST WAY
Requierements:
boot img file (2 the kernel your flashing and termagrancis kernel)
mai77 flasher thingy
and cwm of mads or skins...
procedure:
download the kernel respectively,both kernels are on tar file do you need to extract them using any extarctor (for me i used androzip form market)or tyu can use es file manager...
extract them on sdcard one file at a time and rename them
example kernel 1
after extrract rename boot.img to boot.imgx
do the same thing on the other kernel,but rename differently...
now,,,decide which kernel to flash..
example
i renamed
boot.imgx(marcos kernel)
boot.imgz(terma kernel)
i will flash
terma kernel
rename or remove the other letter
the kernel you wnat to flash should have the boot.img name,.
now go to recovery..
install via zip
choose sd card update
choose SGYbiCWM.zip
and apply reboot,,,
youre done,.,,!
check under settings kernel...
this was the method ive opersonally used

BATTERY CALIBRATION!
AUTION: DO THIS PROCEDURE ONLY ONCE OR TWICE, FULLY DRAINED BATTERY CAN CAUSE CRYSTALLIZATION WHICH SHORTENS BATTERY LIFE.
HAVE CWM INSTALLED INCASE YOUR STOCK RECOVERY HAS NO ADVANCED OPTION.
1. Fully drain your battery, play some games, music, etc.. NO PORN!!
2. Let your battery cool for atleast 2 minutes
3. Restart phone to remove residual charge( it will boot only halfway)
4. After the phone shuts down remove battery and let it cool for atleast 2 minutes.
5. Re insert battery and charge your phone in OFF mode.
6. After the phone reaches 100% charge boot into recovery (Power+Home+Volume_up button)
7. Go to advance (I think some android has this in recovery, if not go to CWM and you will find it there).
8. Wipe battery stats.
9. Press Power/Back and Reboot your phone
10. Wait till the phone reaches 100% charge and disconnect charger
11. Have a happy life.
Before my phone has a battery life of less than a day (about 20 hours) with battery saver, task killer and minimal settings. After calibration my phone without task killer and battery saver installed lasts short of 3 days with moderate settings. I use only a Ram cleaner and V6 fast engine flush now. "Cleaner" apps are good, "Killer" are not..
THIS IS A BATTERY CALIBRATION PROCEDURE NOT A BATTERY LIFE EXTENDER(THERE IS NO SUCH THING), JUST SAYING SO THERE IS NO CONFUSION.

Install guide :
1. Disable any lagfix if have it installed
2. Make sure have the 2e recovery. If your rom is froyo and you don't have 2e recovery, use cf-root by chainfire
3. Make sure you have a backup of your /efs (not mandatory, but highly recommended).
4. Factory reset is NOT required, but is recommended. Wipe cache and dalvik cache if you’re not performing a factory reset.
Installation Steps:
1. Download the ROM and put Spike Speedy Edition v2.0.zip on your internal memory
2. Download clockworkmod recovery from here. You *need* Clockworkmod, this won’t work with stock recovery.
3. Rename the clockworkmod recovery file to “update.zip” and put it on your internal sdcard.
4. If you had Voodoo installed prior to installing this ROM (eclair or froyo), make sure you still have the "disable lagfix" folder inside "/sdcard/Voodoo". If you’re coming from sztupy’s kernel, make sure you have disabled all Lagfixes from CWM.
5. Shutdown phone, wait for it to power down, then boot the phone into recovery mode (press volume up, keep it pressed, then press home button, keep it pressed, then press power button, keep it pressed until you see the Galaxy S screen. Release all three buttons when you see it).
6. Select “apply sdcard:update.zip” (use volume rocker to move up and down, and home button to select). Clockworkmod recovery will boot now (you may have to do apply update.zip twice for Clockworkmod to show up).
7. Once in Clockworkmod, select “install zip from sdcard” (use volume rocker to move up and down and the back button to select).
8. Select “choose zip from sdcard” and then select Spike Speedy Edition v2.0.zip. Then choose yes.
9. The update will start (will take some 5 minutes) and during the flashing you will see some strange big characters on the screen, don’t worry, that’s normal. After the process finishes, you will be dropped back into Clockworkmod recovery. From there, choose go back, and then reboot phone.
10. The first boot will take some time as the ROM will deodex
Special tnx to kalpik for install guide.

Some screens ?
Polish language included in this ROM?
Hi i am using Wildfire S small Leizi 8-24-11 i am found two minor anoing details in this room, one is that the cannot know my localization if i am using wifi only, for example in google.com it ask me if it can use my location data and i say yes and nothing happens another example is in the meteorology widget it cannot check where am i, i need to manualy put where am i, this was usefull in travels because it automaticly tells me where am i and the other one was the short language support.
I would like to if this room was fixed this issues or at least the first one, because i am fine with english.
And i agree with buber82 some screens would be great.
Does the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen has those grey circles around each icon, because in the room i am using it does not have them and i think it´s better that way, i know this is a stupid detail and that there are thousand of other things more important but i would only like to know.
i am not the maker of Small Leizi Rom also it is a chinese rom. JikantaruROM is made by me actually there is no bugs in this rom also lock screen 3.0 has gray like original. taskbar is not transparent. this ROM is Asia rom. but you have to modify gps.conf to change your country.
Hi Jikantaru;
I'm in the mood of trying your ROM (and will be my first)
I need to ask you two things:
- from your description it looks like support to App2SD is possible using:
So that more software support APP2SD methods:
1 download adb.zip, extract to the C drive WINDOWS\system32
2. Handset menu, select Settings - application - development of tick-USB debugging, choose the PC side to connect disk drives
3 on the PC desktop, click the menu → Run → type "cmd"
4 pop-up DOS screen, enter "cd C:\WINDOWS\system32\adb"
5 Enter the following three commands,
adb shell
pm setInstallLocation 2
reboot
enter these three commands are case-sensitive,the phone will reboot, and then on OK.

Can the operation be made on a MAC computer? (how)
you are saying
but you have to modify gps.conf to change your country.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How can I do it?
Thanks for help!
I don't know how in mac
but you can follow this link2sd thread much better, it's what i'm using to move downloaded apps that can't be move to sdcard. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326
make 2nd partition on sd, mine i made 512mb ext2 but you can try other ext if you want, like ext3 or ext4 see if it works make it as primary. download link2sd from the market its free. use minitool partition wizard, but i think it's for windows, find a partition manager for mac, or just find a pc.
======
In my rom root xplorer app is included you can modify it there, it has a built in text editor. no need to change the gps.conf file cause i already replaced it, just modify the inside of it, of course you should mount R/W in root explorer. see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239713
gud luck
Very good job.
I'm trying your ROM. I haven't found bug so far.
I'll probably use it as main ROM.
it is normal 10 - 12 % battery drain per hour, if i hear musik with headset (screen off)?
have a muggen-power 1500mah
Hi Jikantaru;
Thanks for explanation. App2Sd trick is clear now and i'll do it.
About gps is a bit more complicated..before diving into it and devastate my phone..which is the counter effect of not doing it?
Thanks!

If you not change it, it will not lock your status location or even detect where you are when you use maps.
edit:
you'll only modify this part in your gps.conf

To hasbai :
If you look in apps, you'll notice thet there's Equalizer.
I think, it consumes ressources a lot.
I use SetCPU to improve battery life. Equalizer causes to freeze my device when screen is off (due to low frequency with SetCPU Profile).
I've unintalled it and everything's OK.
When I listen to music, I use PowerAmp with its integated equalizer. Everything works, even if screen is in off mode.
But the ROM works great, I'm keeping using it.
HI,
looks nice, even though I would prefer a non-Sense version given the weak processor.
WHich frequencies do you manage to get using setCPU with this ROM?
ON the STock rom I can only select between 480 and 600, not really too much, so I would like to try this one out.

There is no custom kernel now, so you'll got the same frequencies. Waiting for overclock kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249816

1. cause other icon is for setting it up; maybe you could use titanium bakup to remove it or just delete on system/app folder. but first you have to run uninstall in the second icon. why you want to remove it. its only 200kb.
2. try facebook on market or htc hub. i didnt remove friendstream.
Edit:
I put screen off and lock app so anyone wants CRT TV off animation you can put icon in home screen. The mod that when you press power button and CRT animation appears, is only for deodexed rom, deodexed services.jar won't boot the phone.
I tried to deodex this rom but 62MB internal memory is left.
Thanks for your reply.. What about gesture lock? and i have seen it is draining battery very fast? last jikantaru rom was fine but this rom is draining battery very fast dont know why?

What is a2sd Darktremor and what it does?????
In simple words ,a2sd darktremor let you install your all apps on sd card , so in this way internal memroy stay empty and phone perform better.
This is Darktremor Apps2SD, a multipurpose program that primarily allows a user to execute applications created for the Android OS on their Secure Digital card (with the proper setup...more on that later). But, Darktremor Apps2SD is all about stability. The goal is to be able for all users of the Android OS to be able to take advantage of a method to run their applications from a secure digital card.
But just because the Darktremor Apps2SD is all about stability, doesn't mean it isn't packed with features:
- Move applications (both free and paid) to the Secure Digital card.
- Move Dalvik Cache to run either from your Secure Digital card or from your cache partition and clears the cache on demand.
- Boot Loop Protection: prevents the phone from boot looping in the event the SD card could not be mounted.
- Dalvik JIT for faster performance on Roms which support it.
- User selectable sizes for the Dalvik heap sizes, allowing a user to freely optimize their system.
- Activate a swap partition on your SD card and sets how often the swap partition is utilized.
- Automatically fixes configuration issues.
- Users can check the free space on their SD card and check the installation to make sure all is setup correctly.
- Runs ZipAlign on demand...this makes your programs load faster.
- Built in help system for easy reference of commands.
- All features can also be reversed without repartitioning your Secure Digital card.
- New logging features assists in troubleshooting issues.
- Commands to set the Low Memory Killer feature at boot time. Great for those people who are the "set it and forget it" type.
- And more...

Abbreviations/Acronyms used in XDA (Android language)
The reason for this guide is that many new users would have difficulty to understand what are these short forms.. everyone says cwm, rom, cm, etc.. but no one says what it is.. and you may feel a bit shy/embarrassed to ask them what it is. So here is my attempt to cover them..
Please do let me know in PM if some words are missing and you want them to be covered.. i will gladly add them, thank you.

Simple methods to get LOGCAT, DMESG
Devs asking you to get a logcat and give?? Yes it helps a lot for devs if you give logcat to solve problem. So dont wait till devs ask you to get a logcat! Just give them a logcat when you tell them this/that doesnt work. This way theirs and yours time will be saved and unnecessary posts will be avoided. Now i will give you simple steps to do it. There are two main ways to do a logcat, 1. within android device, and 2. through adb using PC.WITHIN ANDROID DEVICE METHOD:
This i learnt from paxChristos from his thread.
1. Logcat within android device can be done in one of two ways, through a Logcat app: Difficulty --> *
Here are two good apps: aLogcat or Catlog
Both of these programs can dump their logs to a text file, which is very useful for debugging. Or, you can do it in terminal emulator (same rules as running through adb(see below))
2. Through Terminal method: Difficulty --> **
Install Android Terminal Emulator app from Play Store..
Open terminal app you just installed..
Enter these commands:
After every command press ENTER/SUBMIT button
Code:
su
then accept the superuser popup message[it comes only first time if you select checkbox "remember the choice"]
Code:
logcat -v long > /sdcard/test.log
Or use this command:
The -v long puts the text in a nice format that is more easily readable. The *:W will search for all warnings, errors, and fatals, while the *:S will silence everything else.
So essentially, u will have a .txt file that has a log of all warnings and up, nothing else, and it'll look pretty too!
Code:
logcat -v long *:W*:S > /sdcard/filename.txt
now press home button to minimize the terminal..
and do the task which is giving problems/ whichever task log you need to give to dev..
then drag the notification bar..
select terminal app in it..
now press and hold "Volume down button" and touch c button on keyboard.
This will stop the command..
now use this command twice
Code:
exit
Now app will get closed. go to sdcard to find test.log file.. upload it to here so that dev can access it..
Thank you for reading it with patience hope you can get logcat now..
Note: if you are stuck in boot and want to take logcat.. READ LOGCAT FROM ADB METHOD BELOW.. the above one is simple method for these tasks for eg.. if you are having some force close of app/lag etc.. then after entering second command press enter and then use home button to minimize terminal.. dont worry it will take log.. now open that app and once it gives force close then click on it and then open terminal again and press volume down button + c to terminate command.. then use exit command two times... done.. now go to sdcard and find a.txt file
From PC[i.e, ADB] LOGCAT METHOD :Difficulty --> ***
There is an advantage here. As doing this way, you can start using logcat when your device boots. There are 2 ways here again..
PREPARATION:
In your android device, go to settings --> applications --> development -->
Check USB Debugging
Make sure your device driver is already installed otherwise install kies software which will install drivers too.. Get kies from This LINK
You need to download this ADB.zip file i made to your system.. Download link
Extract the ADB.zip file from any applications like IZarc/7Zip/winzip/winrar.
ADB USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
Then go to Android folder.. inside that you should find 3 files.. Now open a command prompt or terminal in that path..(wherever you extracted it.. use cd command)
Then inside that path.. type
Code:
adb logcat > filename.txt
Or
Code:
logcat -v long > /sdcard/test.log
Or
Code:
logcat -v long *:W*:S > /sdcard/filename.txt
Now perform tasks in android device of which you need to give logcat for the devs. Then use CTRL+C to end the command.
Now find the filename.txt inside the Android folder which has logcat. Upload this file and give link to dev..
Or There is another method called All in one logger tool by wcypierre which can get you logcat and dmesg. I have not tested it myself. But i am sure it will work and you can go to that thread and ask your queries about that tool if you want to use that. The dev will help you gladly. So, please thank him for his nice work.The full list of options that can be used with logcat command is as follows:
V — Verbose (lowest priority)
D — Debug
I — Info (default priority)
W — Warning
E — Error
F — Fatal
S — Silent (highest priority, on which nothing is ever printed)
You can replace the *:W with any other letter from above to get more info.
From PC[i.e, ADB] GET DMESG:Difficulty --> ***
Note: You will need adb access for this to work, same as logcat. Read PREPARATIONS above to find adb files required and related setup.
What this will do is get us live kernel output so we can know things like "What driver is the kernel loading {or not loading for that matter}" and similar things.
Go to Android folder.. inside that you should find 3 files.. Now open a command prompt or terminal in that path..(wherever you extracted it.. use cd command)
Then inside that path.. type
Code:
adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt
To get last_kmsg:
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > kmsg.txt
From Android Device GET DMESG:Difficulty --> **
You can also get the dmesg by using terminal emulator.
Code:
dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt
To get last_kmsg:
Code:
cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt
FOR APP DEVS / ADVANCED USERS ONLY! LOGCAT INSTRUCTIONS:
Thanks to jaison thomas for this method! NOTE: I have not tested this. sorry. But it will definitely work. I edited the quoted message to make it simple.
jaison thomas said:
log cat using eclipse, i thought it will be simple for advanced users who are into app development.
I will guide how it works
1) install samsung kies in your pc
2) turn on usb debugging in phone.
3) install android plugin for eclipse .
4) now on eclipse click on "window" --> "show view" --> "other" --> "android" --> "log cat". Then click "ok".
Thats it .logcat window will be shown in lower bottom side of eclipse.it is having a green color icon. Also there may be a chance of logcat window minimised in eclipse.do look for a green icon.
5) now conect ur phone using datacable u can see all the things happening inside the phone in log cat window in eclipse.
NOTE: if you couldnt find android under other option.. Do this:
u didnt install android plugin for eclipse do as follows to install android plugin for eclipse.
1) click on help
2)click on install new software
3) then click on add.
4)then you will get a text box with name and location. in name text box type android or any thing,
in the location copy paste this
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/ and press ok,
5)In the Available Software dialog, select all check boxes and click Next.
6)In the next window, you'll see a list of the tools to be downloaded. Click Next.
7)Read and accept the license agreements, then click Finish.
8)If you get a security warning saying that the authenticity or validity of the software can't be established, click OK.
9)When the installation completes, restart Eclipse.

CWM MD5SUM mismatch error while restoring? Solution for this:
Difficulty --> **
If you have made a nandroid backup and we never actually test whether it works/not.. So, some day when you need to restore it.. you get an error while restoring that "md5sum mismatch" restore aborted!! Then you are in a really bad situation right?? Wrong.. Do this.. and the problem should be solved..
You need to edit nandroid.md5 file stored in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/"backup name"/nandroid.md5
NOTE: backup name is usually date and time of your backup/ you could have renamed it to some name.
You need terminal emulator app. Download from play store (android terminal emulator)
Open terminal emulator app and input these commands..
Code:
cd sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-09-30.03.18.47
NOTE: Change 2012-09-30.03.18.47 to the name of your folder
To See what file extensions need to be included. type
Code:
ls
( lowercase "L") and hit enter.
This will list everything inside your current directory (backup files of that particular backup)
To make sure there is no nandroid.md5 file existing already, enter this command:
Code:
rm nandroid.md5
Now to make a new nandroid.md5 file
Code:
md5sum *tar > nandroid.md5
Now its ready to be used in restore inside CWM..
NOTE: USE this procedure to repair nandroid md5sum mismatch error if you are getting this on a backup which has not been modified. If you have opened the backup files to modify the files inside. Its not advised to do this. So, please take note of this.
Special Thanks to cynnar for this idea. i tweaked it to our device from his post.

How to use SDCARD instead of internal storage for apps[LINK2SD]
Difficulty --> **
Welcome to LINK2SD app friends!
Easiest app to install and use to extend your internal memory.
What it does?
It creates a symbolic link file(more like shortcut in windows) for apps in internal memory which will point to the real app which will be saved in your sdcard second partition! It mounts the second partition of your SD card as /data/sdext2 and makes OS mounts it at boot time.
It can also move user apps to SD card (force move), with batch moving (multiple apps moving at once) capability.
That feature uses Android's standard SD-card installation feature and does not require a second partition. It can break some apps if they are not meant to be moved to the SD card (Such as Widgets).Preparations:
* You need to have root permission/access[Rooted phone]
* A second partition on your SD card. You should have two partitions on SD card and both should be primary.
* The second partition is used for application files and can be ext2, ext3, ext4 or FAT32 (I prefer FAT32 and no issues i have seen, see note below to know why?).
Note:
1. The second partition will not be accessible through windows OS as it recognises only first partition on removable devices. In Linux you can access second partition too!
2. ext4 is the latest ext format but several ROMs/Kernels have issues with it while fewer have issues with ext3 and ext2. FAT works on all ROMs.
Steps to make 2nd Partition in SDCARD:
Connect phone to PC using USB Cable. Make sure your device driver is already installed otherwise install kies software which will install drivers too.. Get kies from This LINK
Now drag the notification bar from status bar in phone and select "USB Connected" messasge.
Then select "Connect USB storage" button.
Once it is connected, Make a backup of sdcard first to PC(Copy all files inside sdcard to any fodler in PC). Otherwise you will loose data in sdcard.
Now open "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" download it from This LINK
This tool is compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista & Windows 7. Or Use "Gparted" tool for linux users Or "iPartiton" for Mac users.
Note: this partition manager QUEUES the operations. So nothing is deleted and changed UNTIL you click "APPLY" and then confirm by clicking "OK".
Make sure you are deleting partition on SD card! (not your hard disk for example). Dont be afraid, just read everything and think twice before selecting correct drive. Do you see three gray icons on the bottom? Under each of them the capacity of each drive is listed, and SD CARD has slightly different icon. Check the sdcard capacity given in the window to select the proper one.
select "Create As": PRIMARY on the sdcard partition. Choose whatever size(leave some space which we will use for apps partition) you want for sdcard( to have your music, personal files, etc.).
Select "File System:" FAT32
select the second partition below the one you just created which will have the space left when partitioning the first partition.
Select "File System:" FAT32 (YOU can use Ext2, Ext3, Ext4 also.) But my suggestion is please use FAT32. You wont have problems as all ROMS/KERNELS support fat32 by default!
Click "apply" button on top left corner. Partitions will be created and card will be formatted.
Now put your files back to sdcard and disconnect from PC.
NOTE: You can also use CWM partition option. If you want to use CWM partition method to partition your sdcard then see here. I have never tried this method. So i cannot help you with that.Steps to install and use link2sd[2.2.3 version]:
Let the media scanner finish the scanning process, then open link2sd app and you will see a pop up menu "Select the file system of your SD card's second partition"
Choose your partition type for "second partition" you created while partitioning, say you choose "FAT32/FAT16" then your sdcard second partition should be FAT32/FAT16 which is nothing but FAT or vFAT.
Now Press OK. After 2-10 seconds you will see another pop up menu "Restart your phone" Press "OK" (message goes like this "Mount script created, please restart your phone to mount the second partition of your SD card.")
Now do a reboot of your phone.
Link2SD successfully installed.
To make space inside internal memory-->
* Now open LINK2SD app and you will see three buttons on top bar. click on the first button from left side. you will see:* All --> It will show you all the apk/app files in your phone (130+/- apps)
* System --> It will show you all the system apps in phone (100+/- apps)(stored in system memory)
* User --> It will show you all the User apps(i.e, installed by you) in your phone (30+/- apps)(stored in internal & sdcard & second partition memory)
* Linked --> It will show you all the linked apps in your phone (it wont show any now)(stored in your sdcard second partition memory)
* On SD card --> It will show you all the user apps (10+/- apps)(stored in your sdcard first partition. usual sdcard method)
* On internal --> It will show you all the user apps (10+/- apps)(stored in your sdcard first partition. usual sdcard method)
* Frozen --> It will show you all the apps that have been stopped. This is a method same as Titanium backup app "freeze" method. It makes your app invisible to phone. I.e, it will be installed and ready to use.. but you wont see it anywhere in launcher and if you click on a shortcut of such "frozen" app it will say "app not installed" or such message.* Now select options button in phone, then select "Multi-Select". Now press "select all" option.
* Now press "Actions" button. In new pop up window select "Create link"
* Now in new page which appears, select all 3 options to link application, dalvik-cache, library files. Then press "ok" button and wait till the process ends. It will take time depending upon how many apps you have. around say 5 minutes.
* Now go to linked option from top bar first button from left side. and see al the apps having linked->sdacrd tag on them which means they are now in sdcard second partition..
*Long press on any app to view more options.
NOTE: 1. you cannot move link2sd app from internal memory. It is better to keep it there.
2. System applications should not be linked to SD card. Link2SD does not allow these applications to be linked.
3. Link2SD does not move application's private data directory; it moves apk, dex (dalvik-cache) and lib files.
4. Do not move keyboard apps to system memory. they wont work.
Advantages:
1. When you connect your phone to PC as mass storage, Android unmounts FAT partition but the second partition remains mounted in phone. Therefore linked applications are not affected and can be run without problems even when you have access through pc to sdcard.
2. You can use this app to uninstall system apps, move user apps to system apps or system apps to user apps.
3. You can integrate new updates of system apps which will be stored in internal memory to system apps. But please note: You should free the app first and then move them to/from system always for safety of apps so that they wont give FC. If some apps did gave FC after moving please restart the phone.
4. You can use clear cache, dalvik-cache, 2nd partition options. They wont harm your apps, they will remove only unwanted files.
Troubleshooting / Error occurance chances:
Question : When I click on "Move to SD card", I see a progress bar for 2-3 seconds and then:
pkg:/data/app/com.mobisystems.editor.office_registrered-1.apk Failure
[INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]
Answer : Your problem is a simple one.. your internal memory is low..
What link2sd actually does is.. first it moves the files to internal memory and then it sends to 2nd partition.. so you are having issues because.. say the apk file is 20 MB.. and your internal memory is around 20/less MB free.. So, it will give that error even if the second partition is totally empty..
For a work around to this.. you can make backup from titanium or just backup with any app.. then uninstall some apps.. then move that big app.. then reinstall these..
Hope your doubts are solved.. Enjoy the awesome app!

How to deodex a stock rom in easy way using DSIXDA Kitchen
SPECIAL Thanks to dsixda Recognized Developer / Retired Senior Moderator who has made an all in one ROM kitchen. So thanks to him there are many custom roms are there in xda.
Difficulty --> **** IF YOU ARE NEW TO PC & ANDROID. This is not for you. If you are good with either one then you can try this.
PREPARATIONS:I Recommend you to use linux if you have it.
Kitchen by Dsixda [KITCHEN] Android Kitchen, v0.214 [Linux / Mac / Windows]
You need to have java installed in system to use the kitchen. All the steps for how to setup in windows/linux/mac has been explained well by dsixda in thread link. So i am not going to explain it here again. I assume your kitchen is set up and you are ready to work.
Make a backup in cwm and transfer the system.rfs.tar or system.ext4.tar file and boot.img file inside /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/"dateofbackup"/ into PC.
Now go to the "/dsixda-Android-Kitchen/" folder and you should see these in that folder:
3 files & 3 folders it should contain:
- menu(file)
- Readme(file)
- .gitignore(file)
- original_update(folder)
- tools(folder)
- scripts(folder)
For Windows users--> Now open command prompt (If you installed Cygwin, then click on the Cygwin shortcut on your desktop to start it) and make sure you get to the path of that folder.. Ex. if folder is in c:\cygwin\home\"username"\dsixda-Android-Kitchen.. Then type this in command prompt..
Code:
cd dsixda-Android-Kitchen
Note: the capital letters should be in capital only when you type it... Note: Dont use space in folder names as cygwin wont work properly with space in folder names.
Or For Linux Users--> Now open terminal(Use CTRL+ALT+T). and make sure you get to the path of that folder.. Ex. if folder is in /home/"username"/Desktop/dsixda-Android-Kitchen.. Then you will be at /home/"username"/ . So type this in terminal.
Code:
cd Desktop/dsixda-Android-Kitchen
Note: the capital letters should be in capital only when you type it.
Now find that system.rfs.tar or system.ext4.tar file and boot.img file and paste it inside original_update folder. You will also find a file "put_rom_here_" Please ignore that file. Its just to tell you he has created that file.
Ok.. Now that you are at the right path.. just type ./menu in terminal or command prompt. From now on i am just going to say type this. It means you should type that and press "enter" to execute the command. If a menu didnt appear then type
Code:
pwd
You should see in which directory you are currently in. Try to get to the folder where kitchen folder is. Or follow steps again to get to there.
Now then, you should see this menu:
Code:
============================================================
Android Kitchen 0.214 - by dsixda (xda-developers.com)
============================================================
> MAIN MENU
1 - Set up working folder from ROM
2 - Add root permissions
3 - Add BusyBox
4 - Disable boot screen sounds
5 - Zipalign all *.apk files to optimize RAM usage
6 - Change wipe status of ROM
7 - Change name of ROM
8 - Show working folder information
0 - ADVANCED OPTIONS
00 - LEGACY OPTIONS (old and rarely used)
99 - Build ROM from working folder
u - Kitchen Info/Update/Donate
x - Exit
Enter option:
Enter option: 1
Press "Enter"
[CODE}Available ROMs:
(1) system.rfs.tar
Enter selection number (default=1, cancel=0, r=refresh):1[/CODE]
It will ask you this:
Code:
The new working folder will be named WORKING_111212_132324
Change the name (y/n)? (default: n):y
Give a name if you want to identify it easily next time.. for ex. i gave this "Enter a new name (using this prefix): WORKING_DDLJ1" as it is from DDLJ1 firmware update.. you can choose not to give name.
Now it will ask this:
Code:
Would you like to view this ROM's info (y/n)? (default: y):y
Give y as yes as i gave.
It would appear like this if it is stock roms backup:
Code:
Working folder information
Android OS version : 2.3.6
Device : GT-S6102
Model : GT-S6102
ROM Name : GINGERBREAD.DDLJ1
CSC version : S6102ODDLJ1

Press Enter to continue
Now press "Enter" to continue.
Setting up working directory complete.. You can close it anytime if you want when you are at main screen just type x and press "Enter". You can open it again and continue without making the above steps again..
Enter option:0 in main menu for "Advanced options"
Enter option:11
It will show like this:
Code:
NOTE: Reversing the de-odexing process by getting back the odex
files ('re-odexing') is not supported in the kitchen and would
be impossible to implement.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Found 23 *.odex files in system/framework
Found 110 *.odex files in system/app
Enter a choice:
bb = Back up both folders (do first!)
v = Set Android OS version (Current API level = 10)
IMPORTANT: Ensure you set the correct API level
f = Deodex /system/framework
a = Deodex /system/app
b = Deodex both folders (recommended)
s = Deodex a single file
x = Exit
?
Now type bb and press enter. (For safety, backup apks.. you can skip it if you want) Press "Enter" to continue.
Now type v and
Code:
Change the current API level (y/n)? (default: n):y
Please enter the new level number (currently: 15): 10
Press "Enter to continue.
Now type b to deodex your rom. Press "Enter" when this is asked,
Code:
Enable logging to file (y/n)? (default: y):
It will take some time depending upon your computer configuration. So take a small nap It takes 20 minutes in mine usually.
At the end if its successful.. you should see this:
Code:
Finished system/app
A summary of the deodexing has been logged in deodex_111212_133710.log
0 *.odex files remain in system/app
0 *.odex files remain in system/framework
Press Enter to continue
Now press "Enter" to get back to "Advanced options"
Now to make this as cwm flashable zip.. Then type 99 and press "Enter"
[CODE}Select a build option:
Number (default: 1):1
Would you like to optimize the APK files by zipaligning them (y/n)? (default: y):y
Use updater-script in ROM's ZIP file (y/n)? (default: y):y [/CODE]
Now it will show this:
Code:
An updater-script has been created under META-INF/com/google/android of
your working folder. Please review it and make any necessary changes. An
update-binary has also been added.
DO NOT delete any of the files under META-INF/com/google/android.
Proceed with the change (y/n)?
y = Proceed; updater-script and update-binary will be used in the ZIP
file; update-script will remain in working folder.
n = Cancel; updater-script and update-binary will be deleted and not
used.
? (default: y):
Now go to that "META-INF/com/google/android." folder.. And replace the "updater-script" with the file i have given in the attachment to this post. rename the "updater-script.txt" file i have given to "updater-script" and delete "update-script" file. Now after replacing the file type y in menu.
It will ask this:
Code:
It is recommended that you sign your ROM.
Sign it (y/n)? (default: y): y
The new ROM will be named GT-S6102_signed_111212_141640.zip
Change the name (y/n)? (default: n):y
and type new file name whatever you want and press enter
You will find the zip file inside OUTPUT_ZIP/"given name".zip
Now its ready to flash the zip file in CWM.
I will write about other options if any users/readers ask me to write it.. otherwise i may update it when i feel there is a need for that.

WHY GIVE THANKS? THANKS METER EXPLAINED!Difficulty --> *
Why to Give Thanks?
Giving thanks is important. It lets people know that their work or answer is appreciated. It is a faster method of feedback than posting a reply like "Thanks for your answer!" You must have made one post to give thanks,
You get 8 thanks per day, and they renew after 24 hours or so. Each thanks is independent of the others, so if you give someone a thanks at 3, and then another at 4, those will renew at 3 and 4 the next day. If you run out of thanks, then save that page in a new tab and give thanks later when you have one available. (Or if you are an app user then you can thank them through the app "Just tap on the post and touch thanks button on pop up bar which appears") If you use them all every day you are doing it correctly.
Thanks Meter:
You will see that everyone here has a Thanks Meter above their avatar.
Here are the counts needed to get to the next bar.
1st bar - 26
2nd bar - 51
3rd bar - 101
4th bar - 201
bug here, never gets to 5 bars, probably 501 if fixed.
6th bar - 1001
7th bar - 2001
8th bar - 5001
9th bar - 8001
10th! - 10000+
Not that thanks are an indication of a user's status or stature on XDA. Thanks don't really count for anything other than as a potentially wildly inaccurate measure of a member's ability to answer your question correctly. Some of the most important people here have a lot fewer thanks than you might guess. But it is a nice gesture to hit thanks button to those who helped you as they are not gaining anything in return!
STARS, USER TITLES: JUNIOR, MEMBER, SENIOR MEMBER........? READ TO KNOW MORE!Difficulty --> *

Here is what our Senior Moderator said,
juzz86 said:
There are Junior Members, Members, Senior Members first. These make up the vast majority of XDAs userbase.
Recognised Contributors are nominated by other users and/or Mods/Developers. They are recognised for their contributions which are not specifically Development, such as detailed guides, one-click utilities and other tools/mods.
Recognised Themers are also nominated by users/Mods/Developers, for their work themeing custom ROMs and providing standalone themes for flashing.
Recognised Developers are nominated and approved by the Developer Committee, for their work in Development whether it be ROMs, Root methods, bootloader unlocks etc.
Elite Recognised Developers are again assessed by the Developer Committee, and are deemed to have gone above-and-beyond in providing knowledge/hacks/tools/apps/ROMs for the XDA community.
Forum Moderators are appointed by the Moderator Committee, after submitting an application (see the 'sticky' at the top of this forum - currently applications are not open). They are the first-line of keeping the forums tidy, friendly and orderly.
Senior Moderators are the next step up the ladder, providing site-wide support for Forum Mods and looking after the nitty-gritty issues, as well as areas of XDA not policed by FSMs, such as the Marketplace.
Administrators are next. There are several Admins - each look after a specific part of XDA such as the Portal, the Members and the User Experience of XDA as a whole.
At the top is Mike Channon, who is overall Forum Administrator.
Other titles you may come across:
Moderator Committee - sits on the Mod Committee
Developer Committee - as above, but for Developer Committee
XDA Newswriter - publishes articles for the Portal (front page)
Retired xxxx - have since officially 'left' their XDA position
Hopefully that clears most of them up for you
Contrary to what a lot of people expect, the thanks-meter does not figure at all in determining a users tag.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wondering what those stars below the thanks meter mean?
It means that they've donated money directly to XDA.
A star = €10 euro donation.
A star with 10 written within it = €100 euros, as it represents 10 individual stars.

BATTERY DRAIN?? READ THESE TIPS TO AVOID IT! Difficulty --> *
Are you using live wallpaper? it takes more battery!
Go to Settings-->Accounts and Sync-->Auto-sync option-->uncheck it to save more battery.
If you keep using 3g/wifi it will use more battery.. Use 3g only when u download something..
If you are using widgets, it does drain battery faster.. If you want your battery to last longer, remove them or keep it to minimum 1 or 2. I dont use any widgets.
You have to pay attention to your apps running in the background. Try "Quick system info pro" or "ES Task manager" or "some other apps which shows detailed info on processes running. Stop those processes.
If you are using too many notifications features types of apps it will drain battery as they run in the background all the time..
Keep the screen brightness to as low as possible and readable still. Brightness does takes battery a lot.
Playing games does drain battery faster.
If you have custom kernel, and keep minimum freq higher then it will drain faster too
When u sleep at night and wake up at morning how much battery u lose? I loose around 1 percent.. If its more than 2-10% may be your deep sleep feature is not working.. Check it with CPU SPY app available at play store.
[DUOS ONLY]Do you keep both sims alive? I switch off 1 in sim manager.. Do it if you don't need it all time..

Well, even though there are 2 kernel guides in our section.. Both are not complete.. So i thought of writing this.. a complete guide to make a kernel.
So, i'll keep updating this post as and when i get time to make it as good as possible..
Files Required:
You need to have Ubuntu or any other Linux distros.. But i recommend Ubuntu 11.10 32 bit as I'm using this version.
Kernel source from http://opensource.samsung.com . Search for 5360 and download "GT-S5360_GB_Opensource_Update3.zip"
Download Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q3-68 toolchain for ARM EABI from http://www.codesourcery.com/
Note: It should be Linux version without installer arm-2009q3-68-arm-none-eabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2. Extract this file & you need to extract the file you got again to get "arm-2009q3" folder.
Download mkbootimg_src.zip from http://d-h.st/xnT
split_bootimg.pl is a perl script required to extract ramdisk from boot.img file. Or use dsixda or championswimmer's kitchen to extract it.
Get ncurses-5.9 lib if you want to work with menuconfig..Link
stock "boot.img" to extract ramdisk for your kernel.
Now that we have all the files required. Lets move on to next step of creating a Build Environment.
Build Environment Setup:
Make a folder. I'll call it "Kernel" folder here. You can name it whatever you want. Now, move the "arm-2009q3" folder inside this "kernel" folder. Extract mkbootimg_src.zip file and move "mkbootimg_src" folder inside "kernel" folder. Move "split_bootimg.pl" file under "kernel" folder too.

Basically for now its more or less the same as the ones in the market, but if you try the latest dev version, it has multiple device support(able to do logging even if there's more than one device, usually the logging would fail if there's more than one device) and many other features that are to be implemented
