thanks alot. btw, is it possible to go back to stock from custom rom (ie cm10.1) using single firmware.
coz, i need to flash multipack fw first (from cusrom) before flashing lastest stock, on mini.

Be careful the rom I posted was for Galaxy Ace!!!
Yes, It's possible, I don't know in mini ... this is the GT-S5830 Q&A THREAD so...
but the fastest way to go back to stock is doing a backup before to use the custom, and then restoring it when you want to go back via custom RECOVERY, or FALSHING A FRESH STOCK ROM VIA ODIN
...and in Galaxy Ace it's possible to use directly the lastest firmware, "one package fw"

i know, im using ace right now.
the thing is i was failed revert back to stock using one pack firmware (on mini). am bit afraid it happens to ace either. but now it's all clear, thanks for all ur helps.
edit: whoaa, we can backup stock on ace, it s not recommended on mini. thanks again.

well, the best way to avoid all kind of troubles is flashing a fresh stock via Odin
I'm using a bareboned stock rom, I deleted all useless apps etc and I chaged the kernel and stock partitions from .rfs to .ext4, so I have a clean backup ready to restore in my SDCARD, so I can flash whatever I want, and then when I get tired I can always return to my clean previous rom and I don't need to use Odin

am a noob so...
1. change the kernel? even for lastest fw?
2. how to change the.rfs partition?

well... you can change the kernel, deodex your rom, change .rfs partition format to .ext4 format and add more tweaks, barebone your rom... (not for a noob way) or the easiest way!! you can flash a based stock rom with ALL this changes done e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1534804

I need to know which apps are included in /system. The problem is that there isn't enough free space in /system in this rom so we could use a script to delete whatever app in this partition that allow us to push su.apk and the binaries

you can try mounting manually /system and then doing the backup
go to mount and system >>> mount /system >>> back >>> backup and restore >>> backup

mm I guess what is your problem
maybe .rfs format , so try to convert your partitions to .ext4 partition, It would solve your problem
use CF-Root-S5830_ext4-v1.3u3.apk to convert .rfs to .ext4 format

Well you need a custom kernel to get an init.d folder or create it on yourself but the easy way, flash cf-root b84, BE 1.5.1. or whatever kernel you want, and you'll get an init.d folder support, so you'll be able to flash the int2ext script without any kind of problem

Install a Terminal Emulator app and type this code
Code:

a2sd remove
But it is not compulsory to install int2ext script, at least if you didn't flash darktremor script to activate app2sd

Vanishing directories Official Froyo

Hi
I'm trying to get app2ext working on official Froyo on my MM but every time I create sd-ext directories via root explorer or AOR the directories disappear after reboot.
Do I need to change the chmod of the directories? If yes to what number?
Is there a security system in Froyo that prevents creation of such directories?
I am kinda at a loss here.
thanks in advance for your help.

I was planning to use the script from CM7. Thats why I wanted to create the sd-ext directory. I did try your guide, the one written in *.docx, but it did not work. The modules did not load...however, I did create /system/sd directory which is still there.

Well, I have got it working with all stock froyo roms that I have used. Have you installed busybox? Sometimes it takes more than one reboot to work.
I have tried that.
I used all three zip files mentioned in this thread:
//forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10934421&postcount=37
but they did not work.

You only need to use the full version. Anyway, I don't know abt the sd-ext problem.

[Q] how to enable init.d support

I'm using the the stock 2.3.4 from Spice website and this is by far the best considering wifi important.
My question is, can we enable init.d support or we need a special kernel for that?
I tried a tut. from zeppelin but failed miserably...
Any idea guys???
whyzee,
I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017291 and was able to use init.d without any issues.

Thanks for the link but that was the one I tried without success .... Should try again when I have some real time...

did you get an error when you ran the script? If you didn't then get root explorer from the market and see if you have the folder. It should be in the \system\etc folder. When I ran it I had no issues and followed the instructions that were on the page. Dumb question, did you reboot your phone once you ran this? If you got a error then you could try pm Zep and see if he has ideas that might help.

The script you are executing is not meant for our device. Its trying to mount system partition as mtd type, while we need emmc partition type. Also, our device does not have moto-boot-mode file which this script is trying to replace.
So my suggestions are :
If you are using MIUI or CM, then they already support init.d scripts. (I guess)
Or
If you are using stock or andro - id then just copy following code in post boot.sh (something like that) found in /system/etc/, at the end of file.
Code:
for BOOT in "/system/etc/init.d/"*; do
.$BOOT
done
P.S. Note that you have enabled executable permission for all of your scripts placed in /system/etc/init.d

hi
correct me if im wrong. To my knowledge u need init.d to use apps2sd so u can put ur apps on ur SD and now since our phone has around 1GB phone storage which i feel is more than enough to install all the apps u need I dont see a reason why we need the init.d

init.d is a folder on /system/etc folder which runs whatever scripts you put in it during boot.....

I'm multibooting FroyoPro2.5 with alfsV8a-GDX kernel.. I think stock kernel is easier to setup..
Anyway, THIS is the file you need.. When it is extracted during the install it will make a 512MB data file for the sdcard install.. You'll be able to fill this with your apps etc.. You'll need at least a class 6 sdcard for this to work well.
Just follow the instructions carefully and you should be fine..

[Q] Simple Question regarding Flashing

This is probably a noob question, forgive me for that.
AFAIK, flashing .zip files only adds/ replaces files in the respective directories..and when i do a factory reset, only the /data directory is wiped.
(Correct me?)
what i would like to know is, when i come from a different rom which uses more files in the /system, and i flash a new rom with all wipes, will the extra files from the previous rom still be there??
If yes, can somebody tell me how i can clear them?

Flashing a zip will erase all files before copying the new stuff.. it wipes off all old files... the reason y you need to wipe stuff is because flashing a zip doest format the cache and settings.. BT you don't need to if the new ROM and the old have the same base like cm 10...
So old files from a prev ROM wont be there after u flash a new one...
Hope I helped.. sme1 correct me if I'm wrong...

[SOLVED] Deleted bloatware but came back after reboot

Hi!
I have rooted my phone, and deleted bloatware using uninstall.
After reboot, the apps returned, so I deleted /system/apps/*.apk (relevant) files (I'd also like to know what are the *.odex files if someone can kindly tell me )
Then, I rebooted again, and again they were... I have read in previous threads that flashing the kernel is needed. Is that so? And if so, how can it be done?
Thanks!

You need a custom kernel with /system write permission (unsecured kernel) .
You will not be able to install ota updates if you mess with /system files.

for future reference, you can also stay on stock kernel (dont really know why ) and do the changes in custom recovery (eg TWRP)
if you want a relatively easy file manager for custom recovery, check out Aroma File Manager... that would save you the hassle of using an adb shell
oh, and if all is good now, can you also edit main thread title to include [SOLVED], thanks
edit the first post -> at the bottom of the edit window, click Go Advanced, and then you can edit main title
