why?
Why. Can't ?I think it's possible .

It was in the alpha version. It has some thing to do with x recovery. Z did mention that out won't be possible

THanks
but i still want a dual start edition...
i will try my best wo deal with it
can anyone tell me how to transfer the .img file from xrecovery backup to the .img file like the first freex10 realase ?
as for data.img
the backup file for data.img is about 200Mb or so
but the first freex10 realase`s data.img file is about 512Mb...That means it has some empty space for new files...
can anyone help me ?
as for xrecovery
i think we can easily make a swicher to swich from dual start 2.1 to xrecovery or swich back
what i mean is the 2.3 is in the phone and the stock 2.1 is in the sd card as for a second system to be used

i was trying to make a dual boot option viable by tr to run freex10-beta4 off the sdcard (spent a full day on it) but couldnt get it working... had mixed the files of freex10-alpha (which was sdcard/dual boot version) and freex10-beta4 but the system always keeps hanging at SE text logo... tried contacting Z but he has been inactive for a while now (1month)... also contacted J but he suggested that the ramdisk was the problem and i dont have the expertise to create my own ramdisk ...
so sorry mate cant help u out there...

ramdisk?
how to make it suitable with beta 4 ...or even better with stock 2.1?

i presume that u want to use 2.1 for its camera... so if u want to use it for video/hd recording then running (2.1) from sdcard wont be a good idea.... rather let it run from the NAND and try n put beta4 on sdcard...
there are a LOT of things involved to even get upto the stage of booting... like creating xrecovery images (yaffs FS)... converting them to fit in ext2fs img files of data (512mb)/system (256mb)/cache (128mb)... verifying file permissions within the images... once thts done modifying the boot-hijack script 'chargemon' to mount these files... then comes the part of ramdisk modification which i have no clue on how to do it... may be someone can help out???

But. How. To .. converting them to fit in ext2fs img files of data (512mb)/system (256mb)/cache (128mb)... verifying file permissions within the images.
The. Biggest problem is the ram disk isn't it ?

converting the yaffs images (xrecovery/nandroid backups) to fit in ext2fs images is the simple part... for windows: there is a tool called unyaffs which will help u extract content from these images and then use info from here to create the data/system/cache images... and then mount them using a disk mounting tool (i have used Gizmo central).... for linux it even simpler as one can just perform loop mounting... and then paste the contents from xtracted xrecovery images into them...
and yes ramdisk is the biggest problem as of now...

I am wondering what is included in the ram disk,and how it influence the boot process of the rom.I think if you know some. about this ,we may make it .

ramdisk.tar
it has the following files:
default.prop
init
init.rc
init.es209ra.rc
init.goldfish.rc
i think the init*.rc files are the ones which need to be modified for this to work... but as i said before i dont have the expertise in modifying these files...

i dont have the expertise either ...I think we can make it ...
What is used to modify these things ?I even have on idea about how to pack up them into ramdisk.tar...forgive me ...
I am using windows and if is needed I can install ubuntu or any system except mac os...
And do you have google talk account ?my google account is. [email protected]

Do you have any other talk tools ... like MSN or even better a QQ number?
Gtalk is limited in china... ****!

How do I copy files to 'root' folder?

Hey guys. I recently rooted my x10 running stock 2.3.3 . I hav since installed xrecovery also.
I tried to fix audio stutter problem by copying the audio fix zip file to the root folder. However it said that I cannot copy it. What to do.
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
in case you missed these.
in most explorer settings theres a root selection (asking root permissions)
in case you cant find it dowload root explorer and remember to change the ''mount'' to r/w
and im pretty new to all this so this is not something you should use until confirmation is given but can't you usually install these zips trough recovery ?
hope it helped.
Yeah dude frm xrecovey only we hav to do it. However it says to place the audio fix zip folder inside the root folder in system and then flash via xrecovery. I cannot place it inside the root folder. I copying frm.root explorer and doing it also. Still it says I don't hav permission.
The only thing I actually flashed via xrecovery was the frames per sec zip. In that case I could place the file anywhere on the SD card and do it.
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
could be wrong but i remember reading a line like that to 'placing it on your root folder'
basicly it ment putting it on the SD card
i believe you'll be able to install it by
*putting it on sd card
*go in to xrecovery
*install custom zip
*selecting the file and voila
im looking for otherf answers/problems and ill see if i find anything brb
---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------
pretty much all say flash like a rom incase it aint working then there might be a permission problem ? i think thats in advanced options in xrecovery (the permissons)
I fixed permissions in xrecovery. .still if u find out something abt it lemme know.
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
this is what i found looking for a tutorial on the audio fix
1.The first step is to make sure that you have upgraded your device to official Gingerbread and have root privileges with xRecovery installed. You can follow the video guides here to get root and xRecovery on your device after upgrading to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
2.Now download the Xperia X10 Audio Stutter Fix zip package from here and save the archive on your desktop.
3.Now connect your phone to the computer, mount SD Card and copy the downloaded file to SD Card root.
4.Once done, reboot your device in xRecovery.
5.After you are in xRecovery, go to Install Custom Zip Package and in the resulting menu, select the zip file you earlier copied to SD Card root.
6.Now press OK to install the fix.
7.After the fix is flashed, reboot your device normally using Reboot in System option in recovery.
8.Now once your phone boots, play any song to check if stuttering has ceased.
so i dont know if you tried putting it on sd card or not if you did could you give me some info on what error your getting ?
Lol no error. I hav seen this very same.document. it says " mount SD card and copy to root folder "..... where is the root folder so that I can copy to that? ! Cuz when I mount it shows all the files on.SD card. It should show one directory above it.
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
I think what u said maybe is right....just copy pasting on.SD card and flashing via xrecovery
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
i found that very confusing to seeing english isnt my native language but yes
it means just somewhere on the sd card whare you can find it will do
Hi,
Have you checked your phone installed with SuperUser too? It also involved for ''asking root permission'' for apps which need root access. Another thing, you can give ROM ToolBox a try? Many features provided along the apps including copy/explore/extract zipped files, RootBrowser, CPU kernel tweaks, editing Build.prop and many more
''Google is always your friend'' if you want to find its APK file
Extra: Copy ur files into SD card will be best way to be flashed via xrecovery
Sincerely,
whitefang
Pls Hit Thanks button if this helps or convinces you
fix permissions
Yo! I hav superuser. I hav titanium backup installed ( root access accepted) ,screenshot demo, setcpu, autokiller n swapper. All require root access.
Btw can u tell me if I can increase my touch responsitivity by messing arnd the build.prop file?
N any other cool thing which u know ( I want proper multi touch recognizing 4 fingers. !!!....or proper dual finger recognition! !!!)

Unfortunately, due to X10's hardware limited support, 4points touch is not possible. In official 2.3.3, Dualtouch is supported along with updates. You check your Build.prop text like this below:
ro.product.multi_touch_enabled=true
ro.product.max_num_touch=4 But ''4'' seem don't works, you might see effect of ''2''
Gamepadding in emulator will not be problem, allowing two points touch
For Touching sentivity like increasing scrolling speed, you may need find Custom Launchers. Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
whitefang
I know I have dual touch. But its kinda buggy and laggy...not while daily use, but when u play games u find out ...

Hey whitefang can u help me out
By posting all possible tweaks for build.prop for x10i. Also when they say make a backup, they just mean make a copy and save it somewhere right?

Yeap. Backup can be many meanings like ur ROMS, Buildprop, Apps, Datas and etc. Most Probably will backup into your SD card. In specific folder for their backup. Only the app which started the backup can only view its backup content/format.
About the tweaks, i don't think it's necessary to post here But NO WORRY!!! You can find whole bunch list here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227269

[Q] How do you change the wallpaper on settings submenus in CM7?

I currently use a HTC HD Mini (Photon) running the SCREAM ROM by Ling Gan. It has a few bugs for most of which there is either a workaround or fix but there is the one problem which has remained unsolved: the default wallpaper on everything BUT the home and lockscreens cannot be changed. It is of a tree in a meadow under a blue sky and when rotated to landscape changes to some smiling chinese lady in the "settings" submenu. Doesn't hamper use much but it is quite annoying.
I have tried a number of solutions some of which resulted in my having to reflash and others did nothing. I post this here because I think it is a CM7 issue. The ROM developers have so far been unable to post a solution within the thread and I am aware that a fix for similar problems on CM9 ROMs exists using ADB to edit framework-res.apk. I felt it was time the problem was tackled by the wider XDA fam. Used google translate to look on the chinese site where the ROM is native to (mobile-kon) but found no help as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i think ur problem lays in the framework-res.apk it contains the look of the rom and the transition effects
you can mod apk with the apkmanager tool for ur computer in the frameworkresapk you should find the images u want to change replace them witch a black picture or something like that
if never done this befoure exept from changing some transition effects and i had a couple of errors among this
the easier way seems to search for the rom on another page cus the images ure stating are not standart in the cm7
SOLVED!

Many thanks!
I started off looking through the "res" folder in framwork-res.apk using Root Explorer to identify the images for the wallpaper. They were
Res/drawable-land-mdpi/screen-background-dark-transparent.png
And
Res/drawable-mdpi/screen-background-dark-transparent.png
I then created a copy of framework-res.apk on my SD card and copied it onto my pc. I created new wallpapers to replace the ones I just mentioned, one in portrait, the other in landscape. They were 320x480 and 480x320 respectively. Using 7zip on the pc, I placed them in the corresponding folders (/drawable-mdpi for protrait and /drawable-land-mdpi for landscape).
I copied framework-res.apk back to my sdcard and then fired up terminal emulator to run the following commands
su
sys -rw
busybox cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
sys -rw
You might get error messages from running apps after this but ignore them and reboot. The idea is to replace the framework-res.apk in system/framework with the one you just edited.
After the reboot, you should have your newly created wallpaper showing up in settings in both landscape and portrait modes.
Please hit "thanks" for both jiffer1991 and I if this was helpful. Big ups to jiffer1991for pushing me in the right direction.
Hi,
i did something wrong.
So my Phone didn´t run.
He show me the Bootsceen and the Animation.
But the he will run again and again and again.
Can i handle my Phone via USB so i can restore the framework.resp.apk on my System? Or i have to reinstall Android again?
I have no backup and i don´t want to erase my system settings.
Thanks
Felix

hm u got stuck in a bootloop thats what i meant when i mentioned errors =)
you could make a zip with the old framework res apk or reflash the cm rom
if u dont whipe data/cash ure setting will be safed
read some tutorials how to mod the framework res apk
I have an .zip file on the sd card.
Can i copy it to the Android system somehow?
Felix
P.S. can i zip the framework and remove the ".zip" to ".apk"?
It is most likely that the zip file you have is the ROM image from which you flashed in the first place. Changing the extension to apk is NOT what you want to do. I suggest you create a backup in CWM of you present configuration and after reflashing, you can then do a partial restore of your user data. But its like Jiffer1991 said, read up on CWM, theres an exhaustive guide on xda somewhere.
Thanks,
i installed my modified cm rom without wipe caches data or something.
And now i have my old datas back, with the new Background.

[Q] - dsixda's Android Kitchen HTC ONE X

Hi all!
Dont know if ill get flamed because this a noob post, but i searched all over, (xda, google) and i cant find a solution to my problem.
Im starting in this cooking deeds but i have problems setting up my kitchen.
I want to cook to an HTC ONE X, i got my dsixda kitchen setted up in a VM, everything works with no problem.
But i have this problem when flashing rom
QUESTION: When flashing my ROM I get the error "mount expects 4 args got 3" or similar.
This refers to the fact your mount command takes 4 parameters (e.g. ext4, EMMC, /dev/block/.., /system) and your update-binary file only checks for 3 parameters. You'll have to change the update-binary file to a compatible one, found under the /tools/update_files folder. Just copy the appropriate file and rename to update-binary. e.g. If you're going to be using MTD partitions, copy 'mtd-update-binary' to /META-INF/com/google/android as "update-binary".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i know this is an answered question on dsixda FAQ, but my english is not so good to understand the easy solution to fix it :\
i tryed some several ways to fix this but with no sucess.
i already tryed, copying the update-binary from my ROM.zip to /tools/update_files folder no sucess
i already tryed copying the update-binary from my ROM.zip to /META-INF/com/google/android before script conversion, but with no sucess
i even tryed to make the kitchen my device compatible, renaming the evita (HTC ONE XL) to enderavou (HTC ONE X) in /tools/edify-defs/ in a chance that will have the same "specs" .. but it outputs me another error when flashin :\
sorry for the noob question, i know the solution is in front of my eyes and its easy, but my english is weak and i cant figure this alone with the short explanation on FAQ.
so if anyone can give me a more detailed help, or maybe if anyone has the templates for HTC ONE X to make dsixda kitchen compatible, ill appreciate.
thanks all
I have replaced the updater script from a working rom with the one the kitchen comes up with. Depending on the changes you made in the kitchen that has worked well for me. Looks like your script needs to match the partition setup. Compare the 2 scripts, 1 from working and 1 from kitchen and you should be able to see the difference.
I am far from a dev, and I'm sure someone will chime in with better info. but maybe this will work for you.
