Hi...
I am using a Milestone XT720 now, and had rooted my handheld.
Would appreciate to have any tutorial how to have the Apps2SD work on my XT720, please.
Thank you.
Rgds,
Andika
i have been trying different apps which work on nexus one. it doesn't seem to work on the xt720.
I successfully did it on Motoroi Xt720. i just use the rom manager to partition my sd card
But the rom have to be prepared to app2sd, isnt true?

I just copied this to other forum i forgot cause i've saved this as txt file. credits to this are for the owner.
1. App2SD Version 2 (Download the attachment)
This revised version of App2SD is more refine. It moves cache as well as apps to MicroSD.
Steps to prepare for installation:
1. Unzip the downloaded file and you should see a folder "APP2SD Package".
2. Rename "APP2SD Package" folder to "app2sd" and move this folder to MicroSD. (place it in the root: MicroSD card/)
Next, simply connect the Milestone to your computer.
Ensure it is "Charge Only" for USB connection and USB Debugging mode for USB is turned on under Settings > Applications > Development.
Once you have the above checked, go ahead to launch a command prompt and perform the following:
Type: cd/ (to get to the root of your C: drive)
Type: cd /android/tools (to get to the folder of the Android SDK which i mentioned earlier)
Type: adb devices (you should see your Milestone serial number showing up. If you do not see serial number, it means there is no connection to your Milestone)
Type: adb shell
Type: su (make sure you do not see a prompt window on your Milestone. If you do, grant permission for it to access)
Type: cd /sdcard/apps2sd
Type: sh install_use_busybox.sh (trigger installation of App2SD)
Type: y (to confirm that you want to install)
wait for the prompt to show you that App2SD is complete and a reboot is needed for it to take effect.
Type: y (to confirm reboot. You might notice that Milestone do not reboot by self which is normal)
Type: reboot (if you find Milestone do not reboot after you enter y as above mentioned)
Enjoy after the reboot...
I did this on my Motoroi XT720 I dont know in the other model, but i think it will work.
not successful.
first of all, you need to create ext2 partition on your SD card.
but even i got ext2 partition,
i got this error "mount: block device required"
I suggest you use the rom manager's "partition sdcard"

You mentioned that you are using rom manager to partition the sd card. have you tried installing the clockworks recovery mod thru it? the drop down menu in the app shows motorola milestone but not sure if it will work for XT720.

Got It To Work!!
I tried the Rom partition method but that didn't work for me so I got it to work using Hiren's Boot Cd (available for free to download) and used it to partition my mini-sd card. When using it to format please remember to create partitions in the following order:
1) Fat32 [I gave it around 6.4gb]
2) ext2 or ext3 (I used ext3) [I gave it around 1gb]
3) swap [gave it what was left around 140mb or so; give it atleast 128mb]
You can also use Gparted (again available for free to download) to create the partitions.
Don't forget to mark all your partition's active before you exit for it to work or else your milestone will mark it damaged and you will have to restart the entire process.
Once the formatting was done i followed the following steps to successfully install Apps2SD.
Type: cd/ (to get to the root of your C: drive)
Type: cd /android/tools (to get to the folder of the Android SDK which i mentioned earlier)
Type: adb devices (you should see your Milestone serial number showing up. If you do not see serial number, it means there is no connection to your Milestone)
Type: adb shell
Type: su (make sure you do not see a prompt window on your Milestone. If you do, grant permission for it to access)
Type: cd /sdcard/apps2sd
Type: sh install_use_busybox.sh (trigger installation of App2SD)
Type: y (to confirm that you want to install)
wait for the prompt to show you that App2SD is complete and a reboot is needed for it to take effect.
Type: y (to confirm reboot. You might notice that Milestone do not reboot by self which is normal)
Type: reboot (if you find Milestone do not reboot after you enter y as above mentioned)
Enjoy after the reboot...
Couple of things:
1) I don't take credit for any of the mentioned steps, all goes to the original poster.
2) Please be aware that this is all at your own risk.
3) If you do need any help please feel free to ask.

hi thanks for the steps, just to confirm a few things:
1) i think we don't need the swap partition right? swap partition is used for linux swap which only custom kernel can use right?
2) is there a way to reverse app2sd later? i am asking because i believe the froyo is near. will we have problem upgrading later with app2sd?
thanks all for al these wonderful guide

1) Yes, but from all the tutorials i've read they all created a swap, so I just created it incase. Better be safe than sorry
2) I'm enjoying apps2sd way to much right now to even try uninstalling it and correct me if I'm wrong when froyo update is released our phone will be back to scratch one.. so format sd card and start all over again.
This is why i'm looking into nandroid backup/open recovery right now but can't seem to find it for xt720
Have a good one,
Yash

Hello i used linux gnome partition to partition my sd card (8GB) i made the 3 partition in the correct order as you instructed but when i get the sdcard in my xt720 it says blank card or unsuported filesystem and it promts me to format the card.
you said that i had to mark the partitions as active you meant to make them all primary right?

Yes i forgot to mention you have to make them all primary and also mark them as active, these are two different things.
Give me sometime ill be uploading the instructions with screenshots.

I didn't encounter any such problem, you may have better luck trying the Apps2sd forum. BTW stupid question but is your device rooted. Also what step did you encounter the problem, I may be able to repeat it and try and solve it.
Sorry not a dev just a user
Partition Tutorial with Screenshots
1) Download Hiren's Boot Cd (search torrent sites). The screenshots I am providing are using Hiren's Boot CD 10.6
2) Boot from the CD
3) Choose "Boot Mini Xp/Windows" (sorry no screenshots: boot menu)
4) Once minixp is loaded, connect your milestone with memory card access.
5) Heres where the screenshots start
6) Mount your milestone by double-clicking "Mount Removable" on the desktop
7) Check My Computer if your SD Card has been mounted. Mine as per the image is E: FAT32
8) Run "HBCD Menu" from the desktop and you should get the below image
9) Run Partition Wizard Home Edition
10) This is my setup below
11) Like I mentioned before create three primary partitions in the following order: FAT32; EXT2/3; SWAP as per your size preference. Don't forget ext2/3 partition is used for applications and fat32 for media
12) Here is how you mark them active and primary
13) Apply the changes by clicking the green arrow or apply button
14) Once the operation is done, exit the app and then safely remove your disk
15) Hopefully if everything went well, your milestone will now detect the sd card. If not try restarting
16) If all went well restart anyways and then follow the above steps to adb into your device and install apps2sd. Don't forget to enable USB debugging for it.
Long post I know... tried to be as descriptive as possible.
have a good one

When doing this step Type: sh install_use_busybox.sh (trigger installation of App2SD)
try Type: sh install_use_busybox.sh -f
to force the installation ..
also try this thread other people have faced similar problem
sorry can't be of more help .. try re-doing the steps..
just wanna add that this works on the Milestone XT720.
but i might add that the script doesn't remove the backups made so you have to manually remove the backups created by the script. the backup folders are:
Code:
/data/app-private1
/data/app1
/data/dalvik-cache1
thanks
ok i did it!!! thx everybody!!!
First of all, all credits for this tutorial go to wolfilein and batemann
wolfilein's original app2sd thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804574
Since the other "how to" thread is a bit cluttered, I decided to tell the community how I got app2sd running on my phone flawlessly, in details.
I'm assuming that you have already rooted your x10 mini/pro and you are familiar with partitioning your SDcard, running ADB tool and root explorer.
If not, then please refer to these threads
For rooting your phone -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739874
How to use ADB -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502010
So lets get going -
Step 1) Create 2 partitions on your SDcard, a) Fat32 b) ext2. I used Mini Tool Partition Wizard to create partitions. Remember if you are a windows user, you need to create first partition as Fat32 and second as ext2 other wise windows will not recognize your SD card when you will connect your phone/card reader.
A detailed tutorial on how to partition your card can be found here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning
Step 2) Download attached rar file and extract them on your SDcard root (not inside any folder)
Step 3) Open ADB Shell and type - busybox. If you see the list of busybox commands you can move to Step 5. Otherwise refer to Step 4
Step 4) If you do not have busybox installed or recognized on your system, you need to install it. I found that best way to install busybox is the manual one, so even if you mess up with busybox installation, your phone is not bricked, yet.
So to install Busybox please enter the adb shell and type su, prompt should change to # sign, confirming that you have entered rootshell successfully.
Now type :
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
Code:
cat /sdcard/busybox > /system/xbin/busybox
Code:
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
Code:
/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin/
Once you finished the installation, typing busybox from rootshell should list busybox commands. If you can not get the list of busybox commands, or get message like permission denied, or busybox not found, please confirm that you can see busybox in /system/xbin/ and the permission is set to 755. you can use root explorer for this.
Step 5) Now its time to run App2sd.sh
So from rootshell, type:
Code:
sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh
and PRAY.. Its very important to pray, because anything goes wrong here, you will end up with a PROPER bricked phone. Nah, just kidding.
Your phone should reboot itself upon finishing. and when it comes back online, app2sd should be running on your phone..
good luck.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You take the sole responsibility of your phone, if it gets bricked, vanished or turned into cheese in the proccess.
great .. and PRAY.. LOL
I tried this procedure last week. And it went wrong cause my transcend sdhc (class 2) was faulty OMG!!!
So I bricked my phone, repaired it, and now I'm waiting another 16Gb (class10) card ... so I can brick again my phone.. ROTFL.. no no.. I'm sure this procedure is going to be ok
Thanks to titanium backup I have not lost one bit
Mate seems like a great tut, I'm just flashing my phone to follow this properly =]
P.S. what is rootshell?

You enter into rootshell When you type su on adb shell. the prompt in rootshell is #.
Thanks, I thought so just making sure so anyways I'm about to try this way now will report back soon
PS. lil mistake, should be 'sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh'
PS.2 check your inbox please
IF rooted using universal androot app
1. Does this work if phone is rooted with universal and root??
2. I don't have a card reader to format the sdcard.
I formatted using the Phone itself (through usb cable), but the card didn't mount, and prompting to format it

1. Yes it will work regardless of the rooting method.
2 .Make sure that first partition of your SD card is fat32.
Thanks for a great guide!
Finally got it working on my mini pro.
Don´t know if it´s your script or my phone but it didn´t want to run for me.
When I hit "sh /sdcard/app2sd.sh" the command-window just turns to # again without doing anything.
So I ended up running all commands manually instead and that worked nicely.
Same happened with me... how did you run the commands manually?

Opened the app2sd.sh-file in an text-editor, then I can see all commands listed.
Then I just Copy-And-Paste the commands line by line (Not all at once) in the command-window.

Mate, I only made this thread to help the community. Since this is the method I used to get a2sd running on my phone. And I did not edit/changed your script, I wrote it down, which involved my own corrections and researchs (which I contributed to your thread as well). True that ln.sh was provided by batemann, that's why I gave you two full credit.
I can not delete the thread as there are posts there, however if you claim all the rights on the method, I'll pm the moderators and ask them to merge this thread with yours.
As for helping with picture how to, I would be more than happy to help the community.

With app2sd, can i pick where i want to install an app?
on Main memory or SD?
and what would happen if i removed my SD card when its on?
or when i plug it in to the PC to add files?
thanks!
if you use this your phone won't not boot after reoving the sdcard
but if you use the orginal howto (my) my script makes a failsafe by installing app2sd and use that,

after using a2sd script not all the data go to sdcard, right? some still remain @ internal?
so whats the best gingerbread to run on the p500? are there many bugs or fc's or anything? should i just stick to 2.2(.x)
great place to ask... but will the questions be answered right away?
i thought at first, as the title implies...
right after clicking the link, i thought i will see steps and procedures and best bets for GB ports and ROMS... but somehow.. its not the idea...
i guess we should rename the title... GB discussions of some sort...
because this cant be the thread with a guide to install something....
just my 2 cents.

Currently I am using CM7 beta 1.1 from mik on my phone, but I wish to install andy's gingerbread version.
Do I need to wipe all data first? Or is there any way I can install both side by side?
Sent from my LG-P500 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Is anyone having problems getting their phone to mount after installing mik's CM7? I no longer get the prompt to turn on USB storage when I connect to my computer. It does make the little ding though for USB debugging.

Yes. Your choice of ROM has no effect on the SIM unlock. I have an Optimus T that I unlocked from T mobile and I have installed lots of different ROMS and it has remained unlocked.

Hello everyone, I'm having an "issue" with CM7. Someone made a wifi fix for Beta 1, and now Beta 2 has a fix itself and it's all fine except I have to give the terminal superuser permission in order for it to work.
I was wondering if there's a way for it to automatically give permission as I have to write su everytime I turn my phone on and that's a bit lame :x
su is the root command. Whenever you want root access, you type su. It is made this way because the shell does not need root for all commands. So you may want to browse your folders via shell, and you wont need su for that.
In all linux distros, and unix too, you type su when needing root access... that's the way it works. Be happy that you don't need to type the admin password whenever going root via su, as you would in linux/unix.

No, you don't have to be a superuser for it to work. The "su" command is just needed to check if the fix is working. If you just run the command "iwconfig wlan0" the terminal gives back to you wrong values, due to the lack of superuser command. But it doesn't mean the power management or the txpower are not working.
Hi guys, I am eyeing for improving performance of my LG OPtimus One, specially the Megatron ROM by applying cooked ROMS(probably the megatron). Unfortunately,I have less ideas yet about this due to I am still new to Android.
1. I have already rooted using Z4 for superuser
2. What to do next?
Please guide me guys......
Read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247
I would recommend the Nessy #Euridice ROM over Megatron....

I followed the Amon_RA recovery port..
In here: h t t p://androidforums.com/getitnowmarketing/221388-custom-recovery-optimus-one-p500-thunderg.html#post1896517
I am confused where is ADB shell or terminal?
Download terminal from market.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Now I'm confused....when you say that you have followed the amon_ra recovery method, and yet you ask what is ADB... how did you do it ...
If I assume correctly, then you want to follow the amon_ra method...right?
in that case check this out :
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
for usb drivers, use the lg tool to download the usb drivers and then either install them manually or use lg tool to install them.
After that follow amon_ra method...
Guys, I am using a terminal emulator downloaded from the market which seems easier initially(In case this wont work, Ill go with hell1134's suggestion).
hell1134, sorry, I was quite confusing, I mean I am going to follow yet amon_ra
How to put the flash_image.img and recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img to the root of my SD card? It says cannot copy, write-protected or access denied... The scenario is I extracted the zip files downloaded from the site and then copy and pasted the two image files to the SD card.
Sorry, I am still newbie about these stuffs. Please help..
copy the 2 zip to root of sd
and also extract them (on sd)
then follow instructions
@ ciolnadu
Hahaha! I dont know if I got it right but I reformatted my SD card through Windows XP reformatting so it cleaned my SD card. Then I downloaded again the two zip files to my hard disk drive and extracted the two image files to the newly reformatted SD card.
Ok...now I get the picture...
To put the flash_image.img and recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img to the root of my SD card, connect your phone to your PC with usb cable. A notification will come on your phone where there will be an option to " turn on USB storage " -> select/click it.
It will immediately turn orange and there will be another option to " turn off USB storage ". Do not click it.
Yor phone will be recognised as mass storage device by your PC. Copy the flash_image.img and recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img files to the mass storage ( like any other usb storage device like pen drive ). MAKE SURE IT IS NOT PLACE IN ANY FOLDER.
Now on the phone click " turn off usb storage " on phone and disconnect from your PC.
Well...that puts those files to your sd card's root.
Edit: Oops ... guess was a bit late ..
One advice....try to format the SD card via phone settings...might remove most sd card related problems.
@ hell1134
That is what I did and they are pasted now =)
Now I am using the Terminal Emulator and Wifi Keyboard to follow and apply the terminal codes (quite confusing for a newbie indeed but I should manage ^^ ). Now the problem is I am stuck with the code:
# mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
It says, "failed on '/system/etc/install-recovery.sh' - No such file or directly
What shall I do guys? Am I missing something?
Update:
Quoted from "Getitnowmarketing" answering to the same experienced from another user there:
You dont want that file there as it keeps recovery from "sticking" its not in all roms usually there ater you do an ota update. That command removes it. If its not there move on to next step.
>.< So seems my ROM hasnt it, so I must proceed to the next command
Update:
I am already rebooted to the Recovery Menu. I'm so excited hahaha!^^ (noob me)
I am doing a Nand Backup + Ext + Android Secure
Ill keep you updated guys. Thanks!
SORRY GUYS I AM NOT UPDATING THIS THREAD ANYMORE IF U HAVE ANY QUERY LEAVE ME A PM! THANKS

Hi All! After huge search in the forum i found the guides scattered ,so i decided to put it in 1 thread helping all the newbies to install custom rom.
PROCEDURE INVOLVED
1.DOWNGRADING YOUR PHONE TO 2.2
2.ROOTING THE PHONE
3.CUSTOM RECOVERY
4.A2SD SUPPORT (NOT MANDATORY)
5.FINALLY INSTALLING CUSTOM ROM
I WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH ALL THE PROCESS IN DETAIL
GREAT NEWS : NO NEED DOWNGRADING JUST USE THE APK IN THE LINK AND ROOTING IS DONE IN ANDROID 2.2.1 AND LATER STILL I AM KEEPING THE DOWNGRADING DETAILS IF IT DOESNT WORK FOR SOME
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
INSATALLATION PROCEDURE :
here are the procedure to install gingerbread root.
-copy all files from sd card to pc(backup)
-now format sd card fat32
-place the gingerbread apk 1.20 in sd card.
-now enable usb debugging settings-application-development -usb debugging (check the box)
-install gingerbread apk using file manger .
-press root and wait .the phone will reboot if it doesnt wait fr some time and see -if it works if not remove ur battery and reinsert ,switch on check if u have superuser icon in application.
INSTRUCTION ARE PROVIDED IN THE ABOVE LINK TOO AND IF THIS APK ROOT YOUR PHONE THEN NO NEED TO DOWNGRADE AND ROOT USING Z4ROOT AVOID BOTH THE STEPS OF DOWNGRADING AND ROOTING USING Z4ROOT PROCEED WITH INSTALLING CUSTOM RECOVERY
First remove nokia drivers or other phone drivers,nokia pc suite,microsoft visual ++ runtime environments installed in pc
Install lg pc suite http://www.multiupload.com/3YHPSRS4Z0 (NEW PHONE BUYERS WILL BE HAVING PC SUITE IN SD CARD PROVIDED BY LG)
Disable LGE VIRTUAL MODEM in device manager (RIGHT CLICK ON COMPUTER- SELECT MANAGE-DEVICE MANGER-SELECT LGE VIRTUAL MODEM-RIGHT CLICK AND DISABLE)
Download the rom file and keep it in a folder
Download kdz updater http://www.multiupload.com/OZTKT703D5
Extract the KDZ file in a folder
Install msxml
Remove sd card
Change your phone display timeout to maximum (settings-display-screen timeout 30 min) and your pc screen saver to 30 min
Connect ur phone to pc make sure u have usb debugging enabled (settings-application-development-check usb debugging)
Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe (run as adminstrator)
Select Type:3GQCT | Phone mode: DIAG
Choose kdz file v10B from the option menu (THE FOLDER WHERE U DOWNLOADED THE FILE)
Click launch software update.
Wait for flashing to finish.
After the flashing is over the phone will reboot and if the phone doesnt get switch on just manually switch on the phone pressing the power button.
When the phone boots up just check the version is 2.2 then detach the cable from pc
INCASE IF FLASHING FAILS JUST TRY EMERGENCY/CS EMERGENCY(last option) AND TRY REFLASHING AGAIN
ALERT: Charge ur phone to 100 % and dont forget to disable LGE virtual modem,dont disconnect ur phone from pc until your phone boots up completely . If u want to backup contacts just enter into contacts and press menu-import export-export to sd card(u can restore ur contacts later just the same way choosing import contacts from sd card
FLASHING TIME :5 TO 10 MIN
I WONT BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE GETS BRICK WHILE THE FLASHING PROCESS AS FLASHING PROCESS HAS A HIGH RISK OF BRICKING THE PHONE,BUT IF YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTION CAREFULLY THEN EVERYTHING WOULD GO FINE.
FOR BRICKED PHONE CHECK THIS THREAD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883314 (BIG THANKS TO ERROR FOR THE GUIDE)
Download z4root from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953

Use file manager and choose the z4root apk and install.
Open z4root from applcation menu and click permanent root.
Now the phone will reboot and it will get rooted check for superuser icon in ur application menu.
IF U FIND THE SUPERUSER ICON IT MEANS YOUR PHONE HAS GOT SUCCESSFULLY ROOTED
INSTALLING ANDROID SDK IN ORDER TO USE ADB
First install JDK and JRE from here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html (choose your appropriate os)
ANDROID SDK LINK:http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (LATEST VERSION r10)
Install ANDROID SDK
Click next
Now it wont show next option to proceed just hit back once and click next again (you will be able to proceed with installation now)
Run android sdk manager(note :Run as Administrator orelse it wont download the packages) it will show various packages available just click cancel.
Click on available packages-android repository-uncheck SDK PLATFORM ANDROID ALL VERSION EXCEPT 2.2(U CAN LATER INSTALL THE VERSION U REQUIRE LATER WHEN U NEED IT)
Click install selected
Click select all and proceed with the installation.(this might take a long time depending on your connectivity)
NOTE:IF YOU DONT RUN AS ADMIN THEN THE INSTALLATION WILL FAIL
INSTALLING CUSTOM RECOVERY

finish with the setup
mount sd card and transfer the a2sd file to sd card
unmount sd card
select install zip from sd card choose the a2sd file and flash
reboot
NOTE: USE A2SD ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE A CLASS 6 SD CARD(RECOMMENDED),U CAN USE IT IN CLASS 4 SD TOO BUT SOMETIMES IT CREATES PERFORMANCE ISSUE IF U DONT HAVE A CLASSS 6 OR HIGHER SD CARD.
HOW TO KNOW THE CLASS OF SD CARD- JUST CHECK ON THE CARD IT MUST BE PRINTED ON A CIRCLE DESIGN, IF U DONT HAVE ANYTHING WRITTEN IT MUST BE CLASS 2 | AVOID USING A2SD IF U HAVE A CLASS 2 SD CARD IT MIGHT RESULT IN BIG PERFORMANCE ISSUE
IF YOU FIND YOUR PHONE INTERNAL SPACE DECREASING IS JUST BECAUSE OF THE DALVIK CACHE.IF YOU WANT TO MOVE DALVIK CACHE TO SD CARD ,OPEN TERMINAL EMULATOR OR ADB AND TYPE
su
a2sd cachesd (move dalvik to sd card)
a2sd cachesdreset (move dalvik to sd card and clears contents of dalvik-cache)

a2sd cachepartreset (move dalvik to cache partition and clears contents of dalvik-cache)
Boot into clockwork recovery.
go to backup and restore -create a backup of your current rom (Note:If already backup has been done then avoid this step, backup created using amonra or thunderg wont support restoring using clockwork)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik cache
mount and storage-format system
go to mount and storage-format sd card
advanced-partition sd card-choose 512 mb (preferable)or 1024 mb (it automatically creates ext 4 partition, class 6/4 is preferred)
mount and storage-mount usb storage (make sure usb debugging is enabled)
copy the rom zip file to the root of your sd card
unmount
install zip from sd card-choose the rom zip and install
flashing takes 3-5 min
reboot

don't you think we already have enough guides over here?
Kindly remove the installation of custom recovery via adb. Show it via terminal emulator. Its hassle free and from phone only.
Also attach the recovery 1.2 here. Also guide the user to unzip it.
Also attach darktremor script here.

thanks for your suggestion i will look into it as whatelse info can be provided and regarding terminal emulator it has been described by eichos quite nicely. So i will see if I want to update that orelse provide the link rather and regarding unzipping it already has been mention to extract the file to sd card
This guide is wonderful, I was just about to post on another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844483 how they should try an clean it up a lil, it is quite a mess over there. My P509 should be here on 4/20/11, cant wait to get started since I already know it is coming preloaded with 2.2.1(1st time Android user coming from 5 year stint with WinMo). Ive been researching the P509 for about 2 months(4-8 hours a night) here on the Android side of XDA, and it has been a journey, anyway your guide will definately help the average noob, in my case I really appreciate the lessons I got from browsing through the different threads and forums associated with this phone. All in all best guide Ive seen so far really sums it up.
Neat guide. I'd suggest one tiny thing. Its not really mandatory to install the adb. Mentioning that as an optional would keep things clear

I really would like to believe the above mentioned statement and that you missed my thread [HOWTO] Rooting, Installing - Android SDK, Custom Recovery, Custom ROM's dealing with the same topics except for the fact that we exchanged multiple PM's during your attempt at following the instructions given in my post.
This post feels like an abridged and in certain respects incomplete version of my above mentioned post in most places except for the a2sd part which I chose not to include as certain ROM's include a2sd by default.
Anyway, I appreciate your attempt to help out newbies.

Moved to general, has there are some threads already in dev section for help.

Hey flashing d new rom, flashes new kernal also or it jst flashes a new rom ?
Sent from my LG-P500
It depends on what the developer has included - a new kernel or stock kernel.
Usually custom ROMs come with a modified kernel because there are improvements compared to the stock one.

just check the rom u r installing and it must be mention in changelog whether the devleoper has included the kernel or not but most of the time the kernel is included , if u are not satisfied with the kernel rather u can try diffrent kernels available over here in xda

sorry to say mr charlie that u have edited a lot of stuff in your post LATER and have put the information correctly in order and describing it properly ,its true that your thread helped me which is this 1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12006447&postcount=61 and the 1 u pointed out but as i said it was scattered and not properly arranged orelse i wouldnt have taken an initiative to write. no harsh feeling it was just my attempt to help others so no use promoting your thread let the newbies decide which they want to follow.
there was minor flaws in your thread which landed me in bricking my phone but but thanks to error for his guide .It was the ultimate saviour for me and for many might be.
i have just put in all information in order and removed unwanted writings.
STILL GOOD TO HEAR U LIKED MY EFFORT
well! the best explained thread for installing custom rom
very well organised,followed it and now using cm7 GREAT
thank you
This is a very useful guide for me who is very new to android. Its always important to have less complicated guide with updated methods every now and then for the newbies. Good work.
A few questions though. How important is it to remove visual C++ from my PC? I can see many versions of it installed on it by default (I never installed it myself). I am afraid removing it might mess up other programs on my PC. Also isn't the default Gingerbread app2sd enough to run apps from the sd card? What additional features does Darktremor have?

its not that important as i myself have it installed c++ 2005,2008 but somtimes it might block flashing that why its suggested to do so,as for a2sd many rom has is pre installed but some requires flashing a2sd as for fransisco tweaks it helps in sustaining battery so i am not so worried about it as mik cm7 for me seems to be stable but i am looking forward for ungaze contribution to xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042828 as using this really makes our phone perform to next level just waiting for his updates..

using the 32 bit mode is preferable just remove those as it wont hamper any performance on ur pc. it will get automaticallly updated from some software or games while installing so no worries on removing .
thats my recomandation juust follow the thread precisely and vrything would be fine let me know the result
