1- the network is really poor . when i get inside a building it became V weak and sometimes goes out.. other ppl with the same network but not the same cellphones dont have this problem!!
2- also the wifi is very weak??? "i think this issue most of us have it" i'm here asking for a solution..
3- when i open the music player the cellphon gaves this msg twice "unfortunately, music has stopped.
4- the funny thing is when the cellphone in a sleep mood the screen suddenly turns on by it self many times !
how can i deal with such problems? shall i go with another ROM? or my rom just fine and u guys have the cure ^__^?
the last issue that i can not enter my SD card from any file explorer program i just can c imgs and videos in gallery and music in real player.. means i can not explore my SD card?????
thank u V much ^_^

GUYS no one can help

Sounds like you need to do a complete wipe. If that doesn't work do wipe and reflash CM9 again. Make sure you follow the instructions. the SD card is now called "EMMC" you may need a root enabled browser. Root explorer is one for example. emmc is located in the mnt folder, so if you start at sdcard, it's one folder back and you are in mnt.

[Q] Sprint Galaxy Problem 1

Hi everyone , Happy Holidays to You All !
I got myself into a little mess or a big one , that remains to be seen .
I purchased the Sprint Galaxy Tab for my wife as Christmas present .Of course I had to mess with it .I deleted some stock apps . Now everything related with media , wont work .The drmua.apk I removed I am sure is coursing all my problems .i might have misspelled it lightly . but there is only apk that starts like that .The result is I cant download from app store , it keeps freezing on download , cant set a wallpaper that I saved or picture I took . Pictures will get saved on memory card but cant be viewed . same thing with videos and most media .It seems there is no firmware , I turned the Web upside down .Unless one of You knows where I can get. Perhaps an owner of same Sprint Galaxy Tab can upload me a backup of the drmu.apk ,Sprint Media Hub and any sprint.apk .
And hope I hope that will fix it .Please someone help me on this , I am totally lost on this .Please learn from my mistake and dont delete any vital .apk or do a Backup if you need to mess with it .I was so sure it was safe to delete those Anyways thank You for Your time and God Bless

Hope this helps
You should never delete apps, add an extension like .remove to the end of it, Android won't notice the file and it will immediately stop running on your device while still in the app folder.
Hi all. Can somebody tell me, is it possible to recover sph-p100 after flash(that was a big error) with files from other sph-p100. Something like to make dump of all system files and flash them with odin?
P.S. sorry for my english
wow , thanks guys , i am going to try this . I let u guys know if i have sucess .
Sorry I am a noob .I cant replace or over install system application .
I followed these directions below in red with root explorer , but I had no luck .
Sorry to pester .Is there another way of just replacing all the app at once ?
I have the sprint system dump , thanks to kyrumo71 . or just flash them with the dump somehow .I am way over my head with this , but its a learning process .A detailed guide would be helpful and suggestions .Thanks again !
(-Place the apk(s) of the apps on your sdcard.
-Use your chosen means to copy the apk(s) to /system/app (this will require making /system/app writable. In Root Manager just press the R/W key when you're exploring /system/app).
-You now need to change the app's permissions. In Root Manager, long press on the app (in /system/app) and click on "permissions". Then make sure that only the following boxes are clicked: User Read, User Write, Group Read, Others Read.
-Make sure you make /system/app read only again by clicking that box in the top right while you're exploring the folder.
-Reboot phone.
Now the apps should be loaded and the system should recognize them as system apps (you can verify by opening Titanium and noticing they're in red). This should make you good to go for whatever OTA comes. If you're unsure which apks in the system dump correspond to the apps you've deleted, just explore your /system/app and compare it to the system dump app list. Any apks in the dump but not in yours are what you're looking for.

First of all, it's better to go with Froyo for now. GB builds aren't quite as stable. Plus, depending on which build / ROM you used, some features might not work properly if at all.
1. AFAIK USB storage does not work yet. Get froyo or use WM
2. download, as in thru Market or just the APKs? APKs are like CABs in WM, you have to install to use
3. Again possibly problem with the build you're using
Go and get FRX06 from the Topaz Android dev section and try that out. Most things work with it (except maybe HW3D). If you're feeling adventurous, google CWM ROMs. Tiad8 made a CWM version of FRX06. Available on his site at tiad8.com
Good luck mate~

Thank you for taking the time to reply .
I will try froyo out now , i put gingerbread on cause i taught it was faster and optimized , thats one of the main reason i want android cause Winmo is very very laggy and i hate it .
Dude, no need to start a new thread for relatively the same issue.
Also, try to add more relevant info as in, which build you downloaded, from where, what steps you followed etc.. easier to fix that way..
Anyway, fresh start.
1. Go to this thread
2. Get the BUNDLE (first link) in post number 4
3. Unzip the file to a folder called andboot
4. copy the folder the root of your SD
5. Edit Startup.txt in the folder with the options you need, sleep mode, overclock etc (refer to same thread, post #2)
6. Run HaRET..
There's no reason why your XDAndroid wouldn't run now. Since the FRX06 bundle has just about everything for first timers. Give a try and update here if you need anything..

Trying to upgrade X8, gingerbread Xrecovery etc

hi,
I'm trying to install gingerbread or the best version on my firmware 2.1 Xperia X8 but I am stuck :
I cant get Xrecovery installed on my X8 as I cannot locate the the folder SDCARD. When I connect my Xperia X8 to my computer a load of folders appear but they are not SDCARD or root etc How do I copy files over to this directory if I cannot locate the correct folders ?
I got a free version of Root folder on my X8 and can see the right folders on my phone there but have been unable to get to them on the PC and thus copy the necessary files over. Any ideas ? Its quite frustrating !
I think I have 2 steps left, copy Xrecovery over and then copy the latest Android over and I should have a better phone.
You should just use FlashTool to root your phone..
I prefer FlashTool because with it you can root, unlock bootloader and flash kernels all-in-one..

well i got the phone rooted. It says so when I run it again and the Super User is installed. So too is busybox. I don't know what Flashtool can do that isnt already done.
However I cannot get to SDCARD folder from my PC ! Some examples on the web just show files being dragged and dropped but I don't have the folders listed.
CtrlAltDelIrl is not really reading your post.
First, you don't have to locate the folder SDCARD. What you see in your computer is the SD card. Later when browsing from your phone and you see the folder SDCARD, what you're actually seeing is a link from within the internal memory of your phone to your card.
Second, just use x8toolbox to install X Recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100. While you're at it, install also CWM Recovery since all of the recent ROMs need it to be properly installed.

Great, Yes I am stuck at finding the correct folder on my phone. If I can't get access to it via PC I cannot copy files over.
I don't know what X Recovery is or much about x8toolbox . I downloaded a lot of files and they don't do a whole lot. I was looking for a straightforward solution
I
There is no sdcard folder.....the first page with lots of folders that appear when u open u r memomry card on pc is sdcard or root....
Xrecovery is a custom recovery used to flash roms......

Thanks very much for the response. Yes it helps. I just see a list of Xperia X8 folders on my PC which don't do what I need.
I can't figure out what I need to do in order to get to the SDCARD or ROOT folder ? The only thing that is similar is hidden system folders in Windows but its so easy just to view hidden folders. I am thinking I have to do something similar to get at my Xperia X8 SDCARD and ROOT folders.
Xrecovery sounds like its the right application to get installed for me. If I got it installed I could put on a new Android operating system. However I first need to get at the correct folders in order to copy XRecovery over.
Any one have any ideas ?
Copy the three xrecovery files.....to u r memory card.....access to memory card using root explorer and copy the xrecovery files and paste it in
phone memory/system/bin
Sent from my E15a using xda premium
dude it worked !! Thanks so much, I was looking at that till midnight last night
I got XRecovery up on my Xperia X8 and doing the next steps now.
Thanks again !
i got ginger dx copied over to the sdcard and launched it. It looks like it froze mid way through the boot up with nothing happening from a graphical point of view (it started with lots of stars moving around).
I tried doing a restore but it says nothing was found. What should I do it with ?
trying to mount the sdcard from the phone results in "Unable ot open ums lunfile"
Is there some way I can restore the phone and try coping over the GingerDX v28b again without losing all data
i had to delete all my data but got GingerDX to work. It feels a lot better than the 2.1 Android on the phone
if you think gingerbread is nice, try ics it's......wow
Before unlocking u r bootloader please read the tutorials carefully or else it can brick u r phone.....

that's what i've provided
for unlocking bootloader i would recommend flashtool, cause you can't do pretty much wrong and it's easy
(but don't forget to be below 11w29 )
I would like to try ICS but I don't know where I can get it. Some steps outlining where to put etc would be a help. I like gingerbread, its easier to type and the phone seems to work quicker. Although there are a few things :
Using the phone now I can't get into my Wallpapers saved on my SDCARD. It has to exit from pictures and puts up an message that an error occurred and try resetting the SDCARD. How can I do this and does it wipe anything ?
My contacts from my phone chip don't seem to be appearing either, maybe it wiped them or maybe there is some error. Any ideas ?
When using the camera I get the following error :
xperia x8 gingerbread the application camera (process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again

bout 'resetting the sdcard' i think that the phone wants you to format the sdcard, but i've got no idea why... never had that problem...
your contacts were stored in your data-partition, so your full-wipe deleted them, your only chance is that you sync'ed them with the google-servers
and about your camera, i've got no idea never had any problems with it
which version of gingerdx did you flash? (i've had gingerdx a pretty long time too )
---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------
sorry, just saw that you said v28b
give v25 a try, i like it much more than v28b
i also think that it has a slightly better performance
I am only using Ginger bx a day or so.
I do have contacts left but I can do anything about what it deleted. I use google+ but I don't think it backed anything up.
The thing is that the camera doesn't work either does the picture viewer. To get the background picture changed I had to use Astro. GalleryDx would stay open
as i said, give v25 a try, for me it worked better than v28b
gallerydx is a bit buggy (scrolling aso), you could try a gallery from market or from another rom (or earlier release)
is that an older version ? have you an url where i can download it and follow some steps
I downloaded other apps and they view my pictures ok (my pictures were saved but my numbers werent?) but the GalleryDx app that came with Ginger bx just doesn't work
yes, it's an older version (just better )
and your pics are still there 'cause they were stored on your scdard
http://code.google.com/p/gingerdx/downloads/list thats the link to all gingerdx versions, just download v25
BUT you don't need to do a full-wipe, just install the zip via cwm and your done :good:
if you want to you can wipe cache but its not needed

First of all you should download es file explorer...
Then locate all the music in your sd and make sure they are placed in a folder named MUSIC...similarly,
The pictures should be placed in the folder called DCIM, further in camera or any other folder you want to keep in...
Just open any 1 song from the sd through the manager and the rest are found by the music app...similarly for the pictures as well...just tested and it works for me...
If the problem persists then reboot it once and try the method again...
If still the problem persists then i recommend you should use cm10 build 3...
Any other doubts you should reply and make sure you hit thanks!:good:
All the best !:good:
