i just flashed to motofoca's froyo v.2.0.9 and it only takes me 5 mins!

my G5 is now much faster! thanks to motofoca.

for those of you intending to flash to v.2.0.9, this is the one. just follow the instruction here http://forum.g5devteam.com/index.php?/topi...galaxy-5-i5500/

even a beginner like me who have never tried installing custom firmware before can do it, i'm sure all of you too can.

don't wait for samsung. they sucks!


happy froyo-ing!

1) eclair 2.1 - cannot installed applications in the SD card.

2) if you want to install applications in the SD card, there are two options :

a) root your phone.

b) flash to motofoca's latest froyo v. 2.0.9 (this is the best option at the moment) as you can root or unroot after flashing (as everything is installed in this version by motofoca) and you can also install the applications in the SD card.

i got tired of waiting and i flashed to motofoca's 2.0.9 two days ago and it works great and much faster on my G5 now!

Ya ya, I used motofoca's v.2.0.9 and it's presently the most stable. it works fine for me. highly recommended for anyone who wants to flash to froyo 2.2

oops! sorry i thought it was this v.2.0.9 http://forum.g5devteam.com/index.php?/topi...galaxy-5-i5500/

I5500 = for Europe (known as Galaxy Europa)

Added on April 3, 2011, 2:50 pmHi, has anyone use Skype on motafoca's v2.0.9?

My Skype doesn't seem to be working - always forced closed.

But formerly when using Eclair 2.1 there was no problem.

Can anyone share your experience with this issue?

Thanks.

flash 10.1 not supported with G5 even with froyo 2.2

Thank you very much, Zam. This is of great help to me to update my maps.

Thanks for sharing.

Now your SD card can't be formatted and it's blank (unusable). But don't worry, follow the following steps you can have back your SD card to use as good as new :

1) Download the Partition Wizard Home here (don't worry, it's free) - http://download.cnet.com/Partition-Wizard-...4-10962200.html

2) Use this Partition Wizard to :

a) delete partition

b) wipe partition

b) format partition

3) Close the Partition Wizard

4) Use your pc to format the the SD card.

5) Then open back the Partition Wizard.

6) Create the necessary partitions (Merge/Resize Partition menu) , i.e. a) FAT32 b) ext4 - both must be primary, then c) swap

7) Done, enjoy!

I've used MAD Team App2sd to partition before, but somehow this didn't work on my phone. So I used Partition Wizard to partition my SD card.

I think you've partitioned ext3 too big. Just partition this ext3 or ext2 as 500mb will do. So if you are using Partition Wizard, you don't need to use
MAD Team App2sd to partition again.

Try this and see if it works and let us know.

Good luck, bro!

If you've already rooted your phone, you don't need to root again.

Just use the partition wizard to delete your former partitions and re-partition again. Yup, then slot back your sd card and it's done.

Steps :

1) Delete your partitions on sd card.

2) Close the Mini Tool Partition Wizard.

3) Disconnect your sd card reader.

4) Re-connect your sd card reader to your computer.

5) Format your sd card with your computer.

6) Open the Mini Tool Partition Wizard.

7) Partition your sd card with the wizard as follows : a) FAT32 b) either ext2 or ext3 - make it not more than 500mb in size. Both a) & b) must be primary. and lastly linux swap.

8) Slot back your sd card and you're done.

After you've done this, let us know if it works for you or not.

How do you find this version (2.0.9.2)? Can you please share?

About your SD card, i think MAD Team App2Sd script cannot find the EXT4 partition on your SD card, and it couldn't mount it and creates "binds" (links, or shortcuts) for certain important filesystem locations (/data/app, /data/log and /cache). Therefore your applications is not moved to your sd partitions and they are still in your phone's internal memory.

I have this experience before. So I don't use MAD Team's App2sd to partition my sd card. Instead I used Mini Tool Partition Wizard and it works for me.

1) Download the Partition Wizard Home here (don't worry, it's free) - http://download.cnet.com/Partition-Wizard-...4-10962200.html

2) Use this Partition Wizard to (you need to do this step if you've formerly partitioned your sd card) :

a) delete partition

b) wipe partition

b) format partition

3) Close the Partition Wizard

4) Use your pc to format the the SD card.

5) Then open back the Partition Wizard.

6) Create the necessary partitions (Merge/Resize Partition menu) , i.e. a) FAT32 b) ext4 set at not more thatn 500mb - both must be primary, then c) linux swap , around 50mb will do. (this is for App2sd)

If you are using Link2sd , you don't need the linux swap partition. Just the FAT32 and either one of these - ext2, or ext3 or ext 5 at not more than 500mb. Both these FAT32 and ext partitions must be primary.

7) After you've partitioned, just slot your sd card back to the phone and enjoy limitless applications on your sd card.

Good luck, bro!

And please do share here whether it works for you or not.

1) I never use handcent so I don't know about this app, but camera 360 can be install in the sd card.

2) Ya, your partitions are correct.

3) Yes, should be enough.

4) System applications cannot be moved to sd cards. Only data applications like games, fb, camera360, papago, etc can be moved to sd card.

Hi RamanAbas, Glad that this helps. Hope you enjoyed your G5 !

hi, give me 1/2 ann hour, i'll explain to you step by step.

I think your sd card is blank and looks like it's damaged right? ..the computer can't recognize it and you can't format it, right?

I can show you how to recover it back as good as new, but please give me 1/2 an hour as I'm now outside and going back to my computer.

Hi. ok.. you do as per instruction below this post - posts #731 & 733

Added on April 19, 2011, 12:38 amLeave the BOOT blank.

One Package : Don't use I5500-MOTAFOCA-2.0.9.tar.md5 - this is for Froyo flash. Replace this with the boot-img-test6.tar

The post above (#731) is meant for froyo 2.0.9. I'm not sure if it'll work for stock rom.

But you can refer here (the post by aeroz) :
