</tbody></table>The increase in the demand for mobile phones is huge and is being expanded drastically with the invention of new phones and their latest versions. This is undoubtedly challenging mobile savvy people who are wondering to get best possible deal on their mobile phones. Even the people who are inexperienced in mobile phone buying might check various ways to save some money on their phones. Here are a few tips that help in saving money on mobile phones.<br />
<br />
<ul><li><b>List out all the features that you are looking for:</b> If you are among the people looking for the latest release or new versions without focusing on your needs then you are likely to commit mistakes by paying more than necessary and getting unnecessary features that you may not find useful to your needs.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><b>Check online sites for discounts:</b> To get the best deal and save lots of money online sites are the best place to find them. There are numerous websites such as amazon.com, dinodirect.com, flipkart.com, etc that offer discounts on every day mobile sales. Try visiting such sites and evaluate one of the best phone that comes within your budget and can provide you all the required features. <br />
<br />
</li>
<li><b>Recollect your consumer rights:</b> Do you know even a phone that comes directly from a factory can endure from faults and could be prone to seal break down. To avoid any uncertainties don’t be hesitant to check your mobile phone. You have all rights to utilize your consumer rights, this can also include the chance of suspecting your phone to be fraught with risk.<br />
<br />
</li>
<li><b>Prioritize your needs:</b> Having a checklist that determines what things you need in your new mobile phone, you will have better chances to compare phone deals available on the internet and in your local stores. Comparing one deal with another with respect to features, specifications, and overall cost, you can expand the possibility of saving much of your money. <br />
<br />
</li>
<li><b>Exchange your old phone with new:</b> Have you got phone already and looking to buy a new phone, instead of selling your phone try selling it with some exchange program. These types of programs are usually conducted by the storage provider to attract their customers in order to make more sales. Seasonal sales and its offer could be the best time to find much benefit. </li>

Also, being able to flash stock firmwares on a handset has it's own advantages. Apart from the fact that flashing is risky and can sometime lead to a bricked handset --if not done properly-- there are probably no cons of it. The pros include the ability to revive/recover a handset from the state of soft brick or from the screen of death, manually upgrade the firmware of your handset with the latest update available and fix almost all software related problems.<br />

</tbody></table><br />
So, if you are an advance user messing with your handset now and again, then flashing is the best process you can familiarize yourself with. This has been possible and quite simple, thanks to the sites like samfirmware.com and/or sampro.pl on the web, as they provide Samsung smartphones users with required flashing tools (Odin and corresponding .pit or .ops file) as well as downloads for official <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Stock%20Firmware?max-results=6" target="_blank">stock firmwares</a>. <br />
<br />
However, not all handsets can be flashed and not all firmwares provided at these site can be used directly with <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Odin?max-results=6" target="_blank">Odin</a> firmware flashing tool. The 'i' models of various galaxy series such as Galaxy Mini/Pop GT-S5570i (aka. Pop Plus, Mini Plus, Next Turbo and other common names around the world), Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i (aka Ace Plus) as well as Galaxy Young S5630 smartphones users seem to have problem flashing firmwares from samfirmware.com directly using Odin. This is where Odinatrix steps in and saves your day :D<br />
<br />
Thanks to an ACervellati and Doc_cheilvenerdi.org for creating and sharing this awesome tool/script that takes the firmwares provided by samfirmware.com and then convert it into Odin flashable firmwares files. Like SplitFUS2 tool, Odinatrix also splits the given one package firmware into multiple .tar files that can be then used to flash your phone. However, they are different from one another: Odinatrix is for Windows while SplitFUS2 is especially for Linux. Though the latter can be operated in windows PC with the help of Cygwin, it is quite difficult and tedious process to setup everything for beginners and this is where Odinatrix wins the game. So, I recommend using Odinatrix to prepare Odin flashable files from the firmware you download from samfirmware or other similar sites.<br />
<br />
Another advantage of Odinatrix is that it seems to support a wide range of samsung devices. It supports splitting of firmwares for Samsung <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Galaxy%20Ace?max-results=6" target="_blank">Galaxy Ace</a> GT-S5830i model, <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Galaxy%20Mini?max-results=6" target="_blank">Galaxy Pop/Mini </a>GT-S5570i model as well as for Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5630 model. With this tool, you can split a single .tar or .tar.md5 firmware file into multiple .tar files which afterwards can be used for CSC, PHONE and PDA fields in Odin Multidownloader tool to flash your handset with official firmware.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Is Odinatrix really useful? How do I get started?</h3><div style="text-align: left;">By now you are probably excited about Odinatrix especially if you own one of those handsets that I mentioned above. So, without any delay, I'll detail the step by step instructions on using Odinatrix to get all those files that are required to flash your Samsung galaxy handset.</div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Download Odinatrix and then extract it on your Desktop or on any place you prefer. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">File Name: <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?xu4r2syuslzjl9i" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Odinatrix-WINDOWS.zip</a><br />
File Size: 3.16 MB</blockquote></li>
<li>Now download the firmware for your device released for your region from samfirmware.com or other similar sites. </li>
<li>Once you get the firmware zip, extract it and you'll get a .tar.md5 or .tar file on your PC. </li>
<li>Copy this file inside the Odinatrix directory that was created while extracting the Odinatrix tool in Step 1.</li>
<li>When everything is set, open/double-click the runme.bat executable file.</li>
<li>You'll be presented with a command window with few instructions. Make sure you read the whole of the information and meet all the requirements. </li>
<li>When you are ready, press enter key and it will look for the firmware file in the directory it is currently in. So, if you haven't yet copied the .tar or .tar.md5 file to this directory then do so now and try again.</li>
<li>If Odinatrix finds a firmware, then it'll list it in the command window and ask you to press any key to proceed. </li>

If it has good tar header or if it can be flashed via Odin then, it will say so and exit the process. Else, it'll begin the process of splitting the firmware (.tar.md5) file into multiples .tar files files as well as create a single .tar.md5 file having good header, which is what the developers refer to as sanitizing of archives. </li>
<li>The process will take long time (about 30-60 minutes), so you'll need to wait patiently.</li>
<li>When done, it'll show the following result (as seen in the image below) and you'll get three .tar files and one .tar.md5 file in the output folder within your Odinatrix directory. </li>

</tbody></table>Well, now that odinatrix has successfully processed your firmware archive and sanitized it, you are ready to flash your handset with stock samsung firmware. If you go to the output folder within Odinatrix directory, you should see four files (see image aside), one a full package .tar.md5 file and remaining .tar files each for using as PDA, PHONE and CSC in your respective version of Odin tool while flashing. <br />
<br />
So, you are now ready to flash official samsung firmware on your galaxy series of smartphone. Just get the version of Odin that is suitable for (or supported by) your smart phone and then run it on your PC and :<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Load respective .ops/.pit file on OPS/PIT field.</li>
<li>Load PDA_SXY_SXZ_SXY_HOME.tar file outputted by Odinatrix in PDA field.</li>
<li>Load MODEM_SXY_SXZ_SXY_HOME.tar file in PHONE field. </li>
<li>Load CSC_SXY_SXZ_SXY_HOME.tar file in CSC field.<blockquote class="tr_bq">Where, X= 4 or 5 digit Model Number<br />
Y= 5 digits PDA Version<br />
Z= 5 digits CSC Version<br />
Example : X=5570I , Y=DDLD2, Z=DDLD2</blockquote></li>
<li>When everything is ready, connect your phone in download mode to your PC. </li>
<li>Press Start button after odin recognizes your device.</li>
<li>Wait for few minutes (about 5-6 mins) till the firmware is downloaded and installed on your smartphone. </li>
<li>When Odin says PASS in upper left box (within Odin) you may disconnect your handset from your Personal Computer and enjoy using latest firmware on your device. </li>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Samsung Galaxy Pop Plus GT-S5570i (aka Galaxy Next Turbo and Galaxy Mini Plus in different parts of the world) is quite different handset in terms of hardware architecture; though it sounds similar to Samsung Galaxy Pop or <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Galaxy%20Mini?max-results=6" target="_blank">Galaxy Mini</a> <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/GT-S5570?max-results=6" target="_blank">GT-S5570</a> smart phone and comes with same Android operating system loaded in it. So, one should be careful not to mistake the former with the later one while in the course of flashing or modding their pop plus gt-s5570i smart phone.<br />
<br />
Whether you have soft bricked your handset and want to recover from that stage or want to manually <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Upgrading?max-results=6" target="_blank">upgrade</a> you handset with latest android software, you'll have to come across with flashing. Flashing is the process of loading or installing firmwares, roms, update zips, etc. on your handset. This article will, with the help of step by step instructions, guide you on manually loading official Samsung firmwares on your Pop Plus GT-S5570i smartphone. It is recommended that you go through the whole article carefully first before trying the actual procedure. <br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Ok! I got the details. So, what do I have to do next?</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Before we can install stock Samsung firmware on your galaxy pop plus gt-s5570i, we need few prerequisites which are listed below along with their respective download links. Make sure you've all these in your hand before you proceed to next stage. </div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Odin Multidownloader v1.84</b>: Odin tool is used to flash firmwares on Samsung handsets manually. However, there are different versions of Odin tools for different group of handsets and not all Samsung handsets can be flashed with the help of Odin. You can find more information about Odin at <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/2012/04/what-is-odin-how-do-i-upgrade-samsung.html" target="_blank"><b>this article</b></a>.<br />

<li>After few minutes of patience, you should see <b>PASS</b> written at the top left box. You can then disconnect your galaxy pop/mini plus gt-s5570i from your PC.</li>
</ol>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Notes: </h4>
Below are few things that you need to keep in mind before flashing the rom. <br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>
You'll not get BOOT file while using <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/2012/09/odinatrix-splits-one-package-samsung-firmware-into-multiple-tar-files.html" target="_blank">Odinatrix</a> to prepare Odin ready files. In that case, you'll have to leave the BOOTLOADER field empty and just load other remaining files.</li>
<li>If you are stuck at Samsung logo after flashing the firmware then, you'll need to go to recovery and wipe data and cache and reboot your handset. </li>
<li>Be calm during the whole process. Don't rush up (if something unexpected happens) and do something wrong which may worsen the situation. <br />
</li>
</ul>
That's all. You've successfully flashed your <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Galaxy%20Mini?max-results=6" target="_blank">galaxy mini</a>/<a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Galaxy%20Pop?max-results=6" target="_blank">pop</a> gt-s5570i model with latest stock Samsung firmware.

Thanks to some of the website in the web such as sammobile.com and sampro.pl, some of the Samsung Android smart phones owners get lucky to mess with their handsets. These sites provide leaked firmware flashing tools (like Odin Multi Downloader and corresponding .OPS file) as well as various official stock firmwares for downloads for various Samsung smartphones. By using these tools, Samsung smartphone owners can upgrade/flash a firmware on their device, install custom clock work mod recovery and do many other things.<br />
<br />
However, not all people are technically advance and thus can't do everything properly. They don't pay attention to the details and instructions and end up bricking their handset rendering it useless. So, it's necessary to be careful and follow all firmware flashing instructions carefully before trying out anything silly on their handsets.<br />
<br />
In this article, I'll list some of the problems/errors faced while using Odin and corresponding solution for these errors. But, before that here are few precautions to be taken while flashing firmware via Odin.<br />
<ul style="line-height: 120%; text-align: left;">
<li><b>Make sure your device is fully charged (At least 80 % of battery charge is recommended).</b></li>
<li><b>Make sure proper drivers for your Samsung smart phone are installed on your PC.</b></li>
<li><b>Note that you are using correct version of Odin Multidownloader tool and correct .ops or .pit file file for your handset. </b></li>
<li><b>Check the firmware details and find a upgrade for your current firmware. It's always recommend to flash firmware from your own region and your own country (if possible). While flashing firmware from other region will work fine, you should be careful not to flash provider specific firmwares on your sim unlocked phone or vice versa.</b></li>
<li><b>Make sure that Samsung Kies is closed or disabled (or uninstalled). </b></li>
<li><b>Be sure to follow all the precautions and flashing instructions carefully.</b></li>
</ul>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
1. <b>Cannot open the usb serial port. code: 5 error</b></h4>
This error occurs when Odin can't access the port on which your device is connected. It can happen when your device drivers are not installed properly or when your smartphone is communicating with some other devices using the same port. To solve this issues make sure :<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Samsung USB drivers are installed properly. Fast and easy way to do this is install Samsung Kies (if you don't have it already.)</li>
<li>Your device is connected properly in download mode.</li>
<li>Samsung Kies (aka Kies PC) and all it's process are closed (not running in the background). You can freeze Samsung Kies or uninstall it.</li>
</ul>
It's recommended to close all other applications during flashing.<br />
<br />
<h4>
2. Odin says PASS, but, my phone is still not booting up. It only shows Samsung boot animation. </h4>
<div>
While on most cases, your handset will boot fine even before Odin says <b>PASS</b>. But, sometimes due to the data from the previous version or due to some temporary files your device will fail to boot successfully showing you only the Samsung boot animation for minutes. So, the simple solution to this is to wipe data (do a factory reset) and cache in recovery.</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Only after Odin says PASS, take out your battery and put it back again.</li>
<li>Now, boot up your phone by pressing Volume Up + Home + Power button simultaneously. This will boot it to recovery mode.</li>
<li>Select <b>wipe data/do a factory reset</b> option in recovery. </li>
<li>Select <b>wipe cache </b>option. </li>
<li>When done, select <b>reboot</b> option from the top.</li>
</ul>
<div>
That's all. Now your phone should boot fine within few minutes. Another solution to avoid this issue is to wipe data before flashing the new firmware. </div>
</div>
<div>

Can't find the error you're facing. Just leave us the details at the comments below and we'll try to provide a solution to your Odin firmware flashing error.</div>

Network Lock (aka. carrier lock or sim-lock) is a special type of lock on mobile phones that bind a particular handset with their network, rendering the owner unable to use the handset with other network providers. This is also the reason why the carriers provide phones for cheap, while the same cost more than double when bought a unlocked version (from other stores).<br />
<br />
So, at one point or other everyone needs to get out of this restriction, either you're fed with the huge bills your carrier is charging you and want to switch to another carrier to cut down your bills or for other reasons or you simply want to avoid the huge roaming charges that can be incurred if you are planning to go out of you country for some whiles, there'll be the need to (network) unlock your handset.<br />
<br />
Hence, to help you do just that with your carrier locked Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 smartphone, in this article I'll detail a easy and comparatively safer method to successfully unlock your android powered galaxy mini or pop smartphone. However, before trying the tutorial below, it is recommended that you ask your network operator for the sim unlock code, in most cases they will provide you this code (after you've been with contract to them for some while). If you're not provided with the code, then it's recommended that you follow the instructions below to unlock your galaxy mini s5570 smartphone.<br />
<br />
<b>Requirements</b> <br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Galaxy Mini handset : This is your Samsung galaxy mini gt-s5570 smartphone that needs to be unlocked. If you are unsure that your phone is network locked or not, then dial <b>*#7465625# </b>in your keypad to see if you are locked to any network or not. </li>
<li>Hex Editor app : This app will be used to edit the bml5.img file that we'll extract from your handset and look for the unlocked code on it. xvi32 is a easy to use simple software for windows PC that'll let you do this with ease. </li>
<li>bml5.img : This is the bml5 partition of your galaxy mini handset that we'll be extracting shortly (see detailed procedure below on how to get this file). This file contains your unlock code and we'll be looking for it using xvi32 app. </li>
</ul>
<b>Downloads</b> <br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?6raoarkm2hbrb5d" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Hex-Editor-xvi32.zip</b></a> : A simple hex editor we're going to use in this process. You can use any that you prefer. </li>
</ul>
<b>Instructions</b><br />
<br />
<b>Extract the bml5 partition from your handset.</b><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Make sure you've adb drivers installed on your handset. If not you read through <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/10/complete-guide-to-install-and-use-adb.html" target="_blank"><b>this article</b></a> to download and learn the basics of using adb. </li>
<li>Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your handset. To enable it go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and check USB Debugging option. </li>
<li>Run command prompt on your PC. To do so, type <b>command </b>or <b>cmd</b> at Run prompt. </li>
<li>Now browse to the folder that contain adb tools (adb.exe) using <b>cd </b>command and type the following commands.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>adb shell<br />
su<br />
cat /dev/block/bml5>/sdcard/bml5.img<br />
exit<br />
exit<br />
adb pull /sdcard/bml5.img bml5.img</b></blockquote>
Here's a short explanation of what we did above. We used <b>adb shell</b> to get to the device's terminal and then obtain root access using <b>su </b>command. Then using <b>cat</b> command to put all the files in the bml5 (It's pronounced BE-EM-EL-FIVE) partition (which lies in /dev/block/ directory in galaxy mini) and put them in a image file named bml5.img in sdcard. Finally, we <b>pull</b>ed the file to your PC for further processing.<br />

<li>That's all. Now that you've got the unlock code, note it down somewhere on your PC or a paper for later use and close everything else.</li>

<br />
Now that you've the code, you can simply unlock your handset by inserting a foreign sim card (i.e. sim card from other carrier or provider) and when it pops for unlock code just put the network unlock code that you got from above in the fields and you should be able to use the new sim card.<br />
<br />
That's all with unlocking your galaxy mini gt-s5570 smartphone. Please, note that this method is found to the working on other similar handsets like galaxy ace gt-s5830 and galaxy i5500. Also, while unlock code can be found in custom roms too, you can unlock the handset while running a custom firmware as the sim unlock dialog is removed from such roms and you won't get prompt to put in your unlock code.So, it is recommend that you flash a stock firmware while trying this out. However, stock based roms like emanoN might still popup the window to insert unlock code when you boot your handset with a sim from different carrier.<br />

Cyanmobile is a modified version of latest <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Cyanogen%20Mod%207" target="_blank">cyanogen mod 7.2</a> rom. The developer, squadzone, has worked hard on this rom and has added a lot of new features that are not yet available on cyanogenmod builds. Features such as Statusbar battery styles, text color selection, integrated (in-buit) app2sd script (disabled by default), Hardware buttons call receive and end, etc and many other customizations such as <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Ice%20Cream%20Sandwich" target="_blank">Ice Cream Sandwich</a> theme, <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Cyanogen%20Mod%209" target="_blank">Cyanogenmod 9</a> Settings Layout, <br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
How do I move my apps and data to sd-ext in Cyanmobile rom? The developer says "Don't use a2sd or s2e app".</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The developer says so as the latest versions of <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/CyanMobile" target="_blank">Cyanmobile</a> rom come with an inbuit <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/A2SD" target="_blank">a2sd</a> script that will help you move all your <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Applications" target="_blank">apps</a> and app data (along with dalvik-cache) to the second (sd-ext) partition of your sd-card. To enable this option you just follow the steps below. It is noted that you need to <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-partition-sd-card-and-install.html" target="_blank"><b>partition your sd-card</b></a> before following the steps below.</div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Make sure you check <b>Mount SD-ext on boot</b> and <b>Enable data2sd</b> on <b>Development Settings</b>. </li>
<li>Then go to <b>Cyanmobile Settings</b> >> <b>Application</b> and select <b>SD-Ext</b> as Install Location.</li>
<li>Reboot your handset (It is recommended to reboot twice for better performance.) </li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That's all. From now on all your applications and games will be installed on sd-ext partition. However, you might need to manually move already installed apps into sd-ext from Manage Application Settings.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>"I cannot see the call accept and deny buttons when receiving a call..." How am I supposed to answer a call or reject it? </b></h3>
<div>
If you have got a call in your cyanmobile rom then, you'll probably notice that there are not accept or reject in-call user interface buttons. While many have mistaken this as a bug, in truth this a new feature introduced in latest cyanmobile release. To answer your call you simply have to press the Menu (left) button and to reject or end a call you simply press the Back (right) hardware buttons. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Moreover, this is a default behavior only and the users have the flexibility to choose their liking of answering styles. If you want to old touch (soft) buttons instead of replying or rejecting by the hardware buttons then you simply follow the steps give below.</div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Run your Settings app from app drawer.</li>
<li>Browse to CyanMobile Settings >> Sound option.</li>
<li>In Sound settings, scroll until you see Call Features heading under which all call tweaks and settings are included.</li>
<li>Now, Check <b>Allow In-Call UI Touch</b> option. </li>
</ol>
<div>
And, you are done. Now you should get the normal slide to answer type screen (varies depending upon your settings). If you want to use the hardware buttons then, just check the two options at the same Call Features options in Sound settings. </div>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Problem : </b></h3>
Clockwork Mod recovery says can't mount /system when I try to do a backup... What should I do ? I own a <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Samsung%20Galaxy%20Pop%2FMini%20GTS5570" target="_blank">Samsung Galaxy Mini</a> handset (if that's needed).<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Solution :</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The error is an expected one and happens generally when you are trying to backup a stock rom using the <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/ClockWorkMod%20Recovery" target="_blank">clock work mod recovery</a>. Please, note that you can't do a completed nandroid backup of a stock firmwares. So, just install any <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Flashing%20Custom%20Roms" target="_blank">custom rom</a> and then you can backup and restore anytime.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqT9EqXyjBQpRwd_3Fwj0e8pt4UyjhemFXeW_IDmafg3S3nkl_3apuVsm77jf9-E7vAF2HjDMkcivP7kyITmNv4jTBtHa3087-t8pN8ThrLGWAvGH0pDcGwcCD-PeurhtDosZV504L85ui/s1600/can't-mount-recovery-error.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqT9EqXyjBQpRwd_3Fwj0e8pt4UyjhemFXeW_IDmafg3S3nkl_3apuVsm77jf9-E7vAF2HjDMkcivP7kyITmNv4jTBtHa3087-t8pN8ThrLGWAvGH0pDcGwcCD-PeurhtDosZV504L85ui/s400/can't-mount-recovery-error.jpg" width="300" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Clockworkmod Recovery Error Messages</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Also, sometimes you also face errors as given below :<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log<br />
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log<br />
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log</blockquote>
</div>
Such errors are normal when you visit clockworkmod recovery while on stock samsung firmware. Since clockworkmod on galaxy mini is not fully compatible with stock rom, you'll get these errors. Simply flashing a custom rom on your galaxy mini handset removes this messages from clockworkmod recovery.<br />
<br />
However, if you don't plan to install custom rom, then it doesn't make sense to install custom recovery like clockworkmod. So, I suggest removing it by flashing stock rom via Odin which will overwrite clockworkmod recovery with stock android recovery.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Question :</b></h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then, How do I backup my stock <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Android" target="_blank">Android</a> firmware? What if I want to go back to stock rom after flashing any custom rom? </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, the fact that you can't backup a <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Stock%20Firmware?max-results=6" target="_blank">stock rom</a> could be troublesome if you want to return back to official stock firmwares on your handset. While some <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Samsung?max-results=6" target="_blank">Samsung</a> stock firmwares are made available by sites like sammobile.com and sampro.pl, not all firmwares might be available. Moreover, not all devices can install these leaked firmwares.</div>

<br />
Depending upon your handset and the fact whether <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Odin?max-results=6" target="_blank">Odin</a> Multidownloader -- a firmware flashing utility for Samsung smart phones -- is available for it or not, there's possibility that you can return to <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Stock%20Roms" target="_blank">stock rom</a>. If required flashing programs are available and if (upgraded) firmware is available for your region then you can download it, load it in Odin, reboot your handset to download mode and then flash/install it within few minutes and change your handset to make it look alike to that of the very first day you bought it. That's why it's always recommended to keep the firmware details of your handset (you can dial *#1234#* Samsung secret code and get PDA, Baseband and CSC details of your current firmware).<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
If Odin or similar firmware flashing tool is not available for your handset, then I'd suggest you to think carefully before moving to any <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Flashing%20Custom%20Roms" target="_blank">custom firmware</a>.</div>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Question</h4>
My Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 comes with following details :<br />
<br />
<pre>Android Froyo 2.2.1
COMPILATION : FROYO.XWKAC
KERNEL : 2.6.32.9-PERF
ROOT@DELL91 #1
*#1234# INFO :
PDA: S5570XWKAC
PHONE: S5570XXKA5
CSC : S5570TMNKB1
</pre>
<br />
Now, I've decided to go for a custom Rom instead (<a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Cyanogen%20Mod%207" target="_blank">cyanogenmod</a>) because my device is lacking support from my carrier/provider (TMN). So, I need advice/help with following queries. I'd appreciate if you can help me with all this.<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Shall I install CWM recovery for froyo and backup or just update the rom by flashing custom one?</li>
<li>As I'm aware it's not possible to backup a <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Stock%20Roms" target="_blank">stock ROM</a> (even with Odin) ??!! Isn’t that true?</li>
<li>But can I use Titanium to backup apps and stuff from stock rom?? Is this in anyway useful?</li>
<li>Can I flash or update a custom rom like cyanogenmod directly over Froyo or shall I first flash GB stock rom with Odin?</li>
<li>Also, in your opinion which is the best stable custom rom to use/flash in my GT-S5570 that supports Portuguese language? </li>
<li>Which version of <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/ClockWorkMod%20Recovery" target="_blank">clockwork mod (CWM) recovery</a> is best to use?</li>
</ol>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Reply</h4>
Thank you for submitting your query to us. I see you still are left with Android 2.2 Froyo, while official Android 2.3.6 <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Gingerbread" target="_blank">Gingerbread</a> firmwares are already available for many regions. Also, it would have helped me if you told me from which country of region you are. But, let it go now for now.<br />
<br />
So, let me start by replying to your queries. I would not recommend installing clockwork mod recovery for froyo and then doing a backup. At first it's not possible to take backup of stock firmwares like Froyo or Gingerbread. Also, most <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Flashing%20Custom%20Roms" target="_blank">custom roms</a> require you to have Gingerbread as a base firmware on your handset, before they can be installed on your <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Galaxy%20Mini" target="_blank">galaxy mini</a>. So, the first thing you'd do is upgrade your firmware to latest GB version.<br />
<br />
The GB firmware I recommend for you can be downloaded from below. It's a the latest Android v2.3.6 firmware and should work fine on your phone. Using the firmware from below and following instructions at http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/08/upgrade-samsung-galaxy-popmini-gts5570.html (these are instructions to flash <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Samsung%20Galaxy%20Pop%2FMini%20GTS5570" target="_blank">galaxy mini</a> using Odin but for other firmware. However, you can follow the same steps to upgrade your handset with the firmware listed below.<br />
<br />
<b>Firmware : S5570XWKTN</b><br />
<b>File Name : GT-S5570_S5570XWKTN_S5570OXXKTB_S5570XWKT6.rar </b><br />
<b>Android : 2.3.6</b><br />
<b>Download : <a href="https://hotfile.com/dl/150336554/07f3c5f/GT-S5570_S5570XWKTN_S5570OXXKTB_S5570XWKT6.rar.html" target="_blank">Mirror</a></b><br />
<br />
And, yes as I said above, you can't backup any firmware with Odin. It's custom recovery that is used to backup roms/system. <br />
<br />
Titanium backup is one of the mostly used application, that can help you backup games and applications on your <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Android" target="_blank">android</a> smartphone. However, you can't backup call logs, contacts, sms, etc. using this app. One way (the simple one) to backup these things is to sync your handset with a powerful phone management app called MyPhoneExplorer. I've detailed more about this software at this article. However, you can also look for other apps at Play Store that can save/backup your calls, contacts, APNs, etc. <br />
<br />
Most of your queries seem to be related. Anyway, as mentioned above, you can't install cyanogenmod or other custom roms like emanoN, minisense, etc. on Froyo. These custom rom require that you have gingerbread boot-loader installed on your handset. For this you'll need to upgrade your <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Samsung%20Galaxy%20Pop%2FMini%20GTS5570" target="_blank">Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570</a> to Gingerbread firmware using Odin. Follow details mentioned above.<br />
<br />
Again, I'm not sure about languages, however, <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/2012/06/official-cyanongemod-72-stable-for.html" target="_blank"><b>latest official cyanogenmod 7.2 stable</b></a> should support Portuguese and should also run fast and smooth. I suggest you to try this rom first. If you don't like it want something more then, you can search for other custom roms at <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Samsung%20Galaxy%20Pop%2FMini%20GTS5570" target="_blank">http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com</a> [I've got screenshots, and details there, it shouldn't be difficult for you to choose one.]<br />
<br />
I'd recommend to use <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/09/installing-clock-work-mod-recovery-in.html" target="_blank">clockwork mod recovery v4.0.0.5</a> for those who are flashing any roms for the first time. Because many have faced issues while flashing via latest clock work mod recovery. However, later you can upgrade your <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/02/clockwork-mod-touch-for-galaxy-mini-gt.html#.T-GPALUe5f0" target="_blank">clockwork mod recovery to latest v5.0.2.6</a> version if you want.<br />
<br />
That's all with your problems/doubts. I hope everything is clear now. However, if you have any further questions then, please post a comment below and I shall reply to your queries.</div>Yagya Gairehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01630865729167703025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310922931820517008.post-58455231218951833812012-06-16T15:51:00.000+05:302012-06-18T12:05:13.425+05:30Official CyanongeMod 7.2 Stable Release For Galaxy Mini or Pop S5570<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Finally after a long wait, Cyanongemod has released a stable version of official <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Cyanogen%20Mod%207" target="_blank">CynogenMod 7.2</a> android rom for <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Samsung%20Galaxy%20Pop%2FMini%20GTS5570" target="_blank">Samsung Galaxy Mini or Pop or Next GT-S5570</a> smartphone. Since this is verified stable release from the cyanogen mod team itself, let us hope that it's quite stable, runs smooth and performs much better.

GalaxyICS is a project that aims to bring Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich to low-end Samsung Galaxy series of Android Smartphones. While Cyanongemod team is busy working hard to make all the features of CyanogenMod 7 available in CyanogenMod 9 builds, this project currently builds cyanogen mod 9 android roms for different Samsung devices including Galaxy Mini, Galaxy Ace, Galaxy Gio, Galaxy 5 and few others.<br />
<br />
The latest nightly release was on 10th June and you can find details about the releases at galaxyics.com website. However, it seems many users have experienced some problems with WiFi (wireless network) on these cyanongemod builds. So, the developer has provided a fis to fix this wifi issue.

Is S2E app working?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Question :</u> </h4>
I installed the simple2ext in my <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Cyanogen%20Mod%209" target="_blank">cyanogenmod 9</a> as mentioned in <b><a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/05/moving-apps-to-sd-ext-in-android-40-os.html" target="_blank">this article</a></b> at <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Handy Information</a> blog. after installing when I checked my task manager it shows that all my apps are installed in device but when i check the sd-ext directory it's showing all apps there. My device, which is <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Samsung" target="_blank">Samsung</a> <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Samsung%20Galaxy%20Pop%2FMini%20GTS5570" target="_blank">galaxy mini</a> <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/GT-S5570" target="_blank">gt-s5570</a>, is showing 81 MB used memory in task manager <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Applications" target="_blank">application</a>. I can't understand whats happening, please help?<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Reply :</u></h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The issues here is probably with the task manager's reporting. Since <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/A2SD" target="_blank"><b>a2sd</b></a> scripts like s2e bind internal /data/app folder to /sd-ext/app folder, and thus any apps which are installed in internal memory are installed to external sd-card partition. The task manage app you are talking about is probably fooled by the script. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">So, there's no need to worry at all provided that you see your apps at /sd-ext/apps directory. If you still have doubts you can confirm that by navigating to /data/app/ directory and learning that there are no any apk <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Applications" target="_blank">applications</a> you have installed so far. It means <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/A2SD" target="_blank">S2E</a> script is working just fine and you needn't worry a thing about it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
About the used internal memory you've reported -it's so because still some data (either Dalivk Cache or Applications Data or both) are inside the internal memory card. While it is not recommend -for best performance- to move dalvik cache to sd-ext partition, you can still move <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Applications" target="_blank">applications</a> data to sd-ext partition from with s2e app menu and reduce the use of your internal memory. There's another reason not to move dalvik cache to sd-ext i.e. We are trying here to reduce the use of internal memory not make it empty instead, which would render it useless. But, you can still move it to second partition on your <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/SD-Card" target="_blank">sdcard</a> if you want.</div>

From past few days, I've seen around different <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Android" target="_blank">android</a> groups spread via social networks, the issue of downloading mediafire links in android devices. Seeing this it made me think, is this really a big issues at all. Well, I still think it isn't? And, there are probably many different ways download files that are hosted on file sharing site like mediafire on your mobile phone. Below are five easiest methods of downloading such files.<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>The most simplest solution : Open any mediafire link in your android browser and then click on download. Android's download manager should take the download and download it in the background.</li>
<li>If <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Android" target="_blank">android</a> browser is not working, try dolphin mini. I've download via mediafire using dolphin mini many times.</li>
<li>If both the methods above are not working, then mediafire has got it's own app in Play Store from where you can search and download any files that are hosted in mediafire.</li>
<li>Well, by now, you should have already finished your download. But, if you are still stuck in this small issue, then install any download manager apps from Play Store such as Byte Tornado, Android Download Manager, Faster Downloader, Turbo Downloader or any other (whichever you prefer) and then open the link in a browser and long press on it to get Share this link and then select your choice of download manager. Now, you download should be handled by your newly installed download manager.</li>
<li>I really hope, you're over with this issue by now. But, still if you are stuck, install any browser from market that supports changing user agent. Android's stock browser also supports it. Then go to settings and in User Agent option select Desktop instead of default <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Android" target="_blank">Android</a>. Once done, open the link and click on download. Your download will begin instantly.</li>
</ol>

That's all with downloading files from mediafire. If you are still unable to download then, do comment below. We'll think of something for your problem together.<span id="goog_1920390905"></span><span id="goog_1920390906"></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a></div>

<b><u>Question :</u></b><br />
I bought an 8GB SD Card the other day, but, it didnt work on my galaxy mini. The guy at the shop said that Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 can not handle it. So, I am stuck on my 2gb SD Card.<br />
I just wanted to ask you if partitioning this 2GB SD Card, will I be able to make the partition to 500MB ? <br />
The original 180MB for apps is way too low, and I think I could do with 500MB somehow.<br />
<!-- adsense -->
<b><u>Reply :</u></b><br />
<br />
The guy at the shop probably didn't know much about it. In fact, Galaxy Mini can support sdcard upto 32 GB, however I don't recommend using it, since your device will load slow as it'll take much time to scan the card and load files. 8 GB or 16 GB memory card should be enough for galaxy mini users. Now, for you case, if you are really not satisfied then, I suggest you pay a visit to some other shops and seek for a 4, 8 or 16 GB card. Don't forget to try it out on the spot. It should work fine. <br />
<b>Note :</b> Some cards need to be formatted before you can see or use them.<br />
<br />
Also, yes, you can partition your 2 GB card to create a sd-ext partition of 500 MB which should be enough if you are a normal users. Simply follow the step by step instructions given at <b><a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-partition-sd-card-and-install.html" target="_blank">this article</a></b> to partition your sd-card. In case you buy a new card, don't allocate more than 2 GB for your sd-ext partition. 500 MB or 1 GB should be enough for normal users.<br />
<br />
Also, it is to be noted that, even if you use sd-ext partition (to preserve your internal memory), it doesn't necessarily mean all apps should be installed in <b>sd-ext/app/ </b>directory. Some apps, which support Androids' app2sd (a new feature introduced by Google with Android 2.2.1 Froyo release, which let's developer to install some or all part of application and data to be stored in sd-card.) feature will be installed in sd-card as usual. This means, most games will be installed in sd-card which justifies the reason why you shouldn't allot more than 1 GB of memory for your second partition in sd-card.<br />
<br />
Good luck and happy partitioning.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310922931820517008.post-79170550049011231282012-05-16T12:34:00.000+05:302012-05-16T12:34:28.708+05:30Best CPU Settings For Custom Kernels<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<u><b>Question :</b></u><br />
I use <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Cyanogen%20Mod%207" target="_blank">CyanogenMod RC 5.7</a> on my <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Samsung%20Galaxy%20Pop%2FMini%20GTS5570" target="_blank">Galaxy Mini/Pop GT-S5570</a> and No Frills CPU Control App to configure CPU frequencies. And I have a question which is best
"governor" and "I/O scheduler" for my galaxy mini?<br />
<br />
<b><u>Reply :</u> </b><br />
Well, in <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/CyanogenMod" target="_blank">cyanogenmod</a> <b> </b>rc5.7 you can simply configure CPU Settings from within the rom's Settings=>>CyanogenMod Settings=>>Performance=>>CPU Settings options. It provides more configuration option than No Frills CPU control app. But, you can use any according to your preferences.<br />
<br />
While, which configuration is better for Governor and I/O Scheduler filed depends upon the use of the device. Most, better and battery efficient configuration is to select <b>SmartAssv2</b> as Governor and <b>sio </b>as I/O Scheduler. Smartass governor monitors the device's usages regularly and adjust CPU frequency accordingly between Maximum and minimum frequency. This way it will both be efficient for performance as well as battery life.<br />
<br />
To optimize your device for efficient battery life, simply set Max. CPU frequency to not more than 700 MHz and minimum CPU frequency to below 300 MHz. Also, you can optimize the Max. CPU screen-off frequency by selecting it to around 400 Mhz. While this will save battery, it might make your device lag while waking up from sleep or in case you use background data and sync continuously even while screen is off. If that is the case then, the normal 600 Mhz or any other frequency near it should be fine. </div>Yagya Gairehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01630865729167703025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310922931820517008.post-27553136877194359252012-05-06T07:34:00.000+05:302012-05-06T07:34:35.855+05:30Samsung Galaxy Ace - Rooting and Upgrading Issues.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><u><b>Questions :</b></u><br />
Could you please answer following two questions about <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Galaxy%20Ace" target="_blank">Samsung Galaxy Ace</a>?<br />
<br />
1. How do I root <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Android" target="_blank">Android</a> 2.2.1 (JXKC1) ? I've tried some ways but they didn't work; such as "z4root" or "supper one click". My friends say i should first upgrade it to Gingerbread 2.3.3 but I don't want to lose lots of installed apps and a calendar with hundreds reminder points!<br />
<!-- adsense --><br />
2. Is there any app to lock the screen? I know this feature is on phone but it locks it in period of time like every 30s . I wanna do it myself when I need.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Replies :</b></u><br />
It simple to root <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Android" target="_blank">Android</a> 2.2.1. Most probably Super One Click can root it so, I suggest you try it again following <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-to-root-froyoandroid-22-devices.html" target="_blank"><b>these simple instructions</b></a>. However, if you are still unable to root with it try using Unlock Root app, which is a one click simple root utility that supports and roots many devices in no time. You can find more information about it and download it <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/05/unlockroot-root-any-android-smartphone.html" target="_blank"><b>from here</b></a>. If you are still unable to root, post a comment below and we'll work out something for it.<br />
<br />
However, I too would recommend you to upgrade to latest <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Gingerbread" target="_blank">Gingerbread</a> 2.3.6 version since you'll get a lot of improvements in your device and smooth performance after the update. I can see that you are afraid of losing your apps and data. But, there's no need to worry about it. You can use a powerful <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Phone%20Management" target="_blank">mobile management</a> tool called <b>MyPhoneExplorer </b>to backup most of your data including contacts, SMSs, Calls Lists, Calender, Notes, Alarm, etc and many others.<br />
<br />
Just connect your device to the PC and run <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/04/myphoneexplorer-powerful-phone.html" target="_blank">MyPhoneExplorer</a> app then, sync everything to your PC as well as do a backup from <b>Extras</b> menu. Later you can sync the data again back to your device. Most probably it can help you backup <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Applications" target="_blank">applications</a> too, but, if you are unable then use <b>App Control</b> app to backup your applications. Also, calender is in constant sync with Google servers, so, you won't lose your remainders even if you don't back it up. So, grab MyPhoneExplorer from <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/04/myphoneexplorer-powerful-phone.html" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a> and give it a try. You can alternatively use Smasung Kies to sync your apps, however the difference is Samsung Kies is not compatible with <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Flashing%20Custom%20Roms" target="_blank">custom roms</a> while MyPhoneExplorer stand out with most <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Android" target="_blank">android</a> devices with any rom out there. <br />
<br />
Then, follow <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-flash-official-stock-firmwares.html" target="_blank"><b>these simple step by step instructions</b></a> to upgrade to latest Android 2.3.6 version. When you are done upgrading you can simply root your <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Samsung%20Galaxy%20Ace%20GT-S5830" target="_blank">galaxy ace gt-s5830</a> smartphone by flashing a small zip file on your recovery. Detailed steps on <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Rooting" target="_blank">rooting</a> <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Galaxy%20Ace" target="_blank">galaxy ace</a> running gingerbread are given in <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/01/rooting-smasung-galaxy-ace-gt-s5830.html" target="_blank"><b>this article</b></a>.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure about the lock screen thing. I can't understand why you'd like to keep your screen awake as it will consume some battery. So, it is better to lock your screen while not in use. However, I think I got what you are trying to do and a simple solution is change the screen lock time to 15 minutes or 30 minutes depending upon your preferences. Then, it won't turn off in 30 seconds, but if you'd like to turn it off you can press the Power (aka Lock) button and lock the screen whenever you want. This is quite secure method, since it will lock the screen anyway in 15 or 30 minutes even if you forget to lock it by yourself.<br />
<br />
I hope this solves your problem and all your queries are answers. If you have any doubts, do post a comment below and I'll try my best to clear it out.

The developers believe android system to be intelligent enough to handle various stages of android activity and thus, manage task properly by itself. However, end users are more interested in managing the task by themselves.<br />
<!-- adsense --><br />
Such users believe that killing task will free more RAM space as well as save their battery and prolong it's life. While it sounds to be true, it is not. Instead killing process that are required for the system will cause them to be loaded again in the memory, which consumes more battery then it would when they were active in the memory. Yes, starting new <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Applications" target="_blank">applications</a> in mobile devices consumes more energy then keeping it alive. So, android handles them quite efficiently by caching frequently used processes. Thus, I'd recommend users not to mess with the running processes and leave everything up to the system to manage them.<br />
<br />
However, I'll not end it here. As the title suggests, this article will help you get working task manager in your android <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Flashing%20Custom%20Roms" target="_blank">custom roms</a>. The task manager app below is tested to be working fine in <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Samsung%20Galaxy%20Pop%2FMini%20GTS5570" target="_blank">Samsung Galaxy Mini/Pop GT-S5570</a>, but, it will probably work on other devices too. So, if you are here looking for one, just give it a try. <br />
<br />
I've also, posted about getting task manager on custom roms previously at <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/03/task-manager-for-cm-rom-on-gt-s5570.html" target="_blank" title="Task Manager For CyanogenMod Roms">this article</a>. However, users found the process (instructions) mentioned there very difficult to follow. So, in this article, I'll provide you with a simple flashable zip file which you can flash in your <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Custom%20Recovery" target="_blank">custom recovery</a> and get the task done easily. So, let's begin :<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Download Task Manager.zip file from below :<br />
<pre class="code">File Name : TaskManager.zip
File Size : 856 KB
File Type : Zip | Flashable via Recovery
Download : <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45768197/TaskManager.zip" target="_blank">Link 1</a>
</pre></li>
<li>Copy the downloaded zip file to <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/2012/04/what-is-root-directory.html" target="_blank">root directory</a> of your sd-card.</li>
<li>Reboot your android device to <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/ClockWorkMod%20Recovery" target="_blank">clockwork mod recovery</a>. [Press Home + Power button simultaneously to go to recovery.]</li>
<li>Select Install Zip From SD-Card => Choose Zip From SD-Card and select the file named TaskManager.zip from the list.</li>
<li>Wait till it is installed on your system.</li>
<li><b>Reboot</b> your device, when everything is done.</li>
</ul>That's all. Now you should get Task Manager app on your app drawer. Run the <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Applications" target="_blank">application</a> and manage all the processes as much as you like. However, you might also want to consider my note from above and leave the job to the system. It's all your choice. <div><br />

<b>Problem :</b><br />
I'm a <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Samsung%20Galaxy%20Pop%2FMini%20GTS5570">Samsung galaxy mini</a> user and i have a doubt. My doubt is that when i installed <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Cyanogen%20Mod%207">cyanogen mod 7</a> on my <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Galaxy%20Mini">galaxy mini</a>, Samsung launcher has been replaced by zeam launcher and I'm not able to uninstall it. So, is there any way in which i can replace zeam launcher by some other launcher like Sony Ericsson and make it permanent. (uninstallable).<br />
<br />
<!-- adsense -->
<b>Solution</b> :<br />
Yes, it's possible to replace the default launcher app. By using a <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Rooting">root app</a> called <b>Root Explorer</b> you can do so instantly and easily by following the detailed instructions given below. So, before you follow the steps below, Make sure you have Root Explorer installed on your <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/CyanogenMod">CyanogenMod</a> 7 rom.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Get yourself the apk install file of the new launcher app that you are going to replace with the default one and copy it to your sd-card. </li>
<li>Now, Browse to <b>/system/app</b>/ folder using Root Explorer and mount it as read-write from the <b>mount R/W</b> button present at the top of the app.</li>
<li>Now copy the new launcher app to system/app/ directory, which is where you can find all system <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Applications">applications</a>.</li>
<li>Once you are inside the system applications directory ,search for the default launcher app and rename it to add .bak at the end of it's name. [See example below.]</li>
<li>Now, rename the new <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Launcher">launcher</a> you copied earlier with the name of the default launcher app.</li>
<li>Once done, long press on the new launcher file to get a list of menu options. Select <b>Permissions</b> from the menu (you should see something like below --not exactly the same though.)Then, Set appropriate permissions : <b>Read-write</b> for Owner and <b>Read only</b> for Group and Others. Or more specifically, set permission to<b> rw-r-r</b>. You can also use root explorer permission option to set the permission as shown below :</li>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx1hGzjB8UsXWr8kNkCm6rzKLV8vZyxpgYa5DZwEmtcVJRpl61YLA3fu9BhVd9HkLGwpArvRB0hazdndisQavCoNLQh4501HAnqz4bJKPe81lgqWmHzTcFfBdM_k_uWpNDTeUzkRkMtiaR/s1600/TaskManager-Permissions.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx1hGzjB8UsXWr8kNkCm6rzKLV8vZyxpgYa5DZwEmtcVJRpl61YLA3fu9BhVd9HkLGwpArvRB0hazdndisQavCoNLQh4501HAnqz4bJKPe81lgqWmHzTcFfBdM_k_uWpNDTeUzkRkMtiaR/s1600/TaskManager-Permissions.png" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Permissions for System Applications</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<li>That's all. Now reboot your device and your android launcher should now be replaced with your favorite Home launcher application.</li>
</ul>
In case if you find the above steps confusing, you can try adb commands to replace default launcher by pushing new launcher as the default launcher and settings appropriate permissions using chmod command of busybox.<br />
<br />
However, to better understand the case above, I will present a simple example. Assume your default <a href="http://smartandroidsolutions.blogspot.com/search/label/Launcher">Launcher</a> name in system/app/ directory is <b>ADWLauncher.apk</b> and you want to replace it with a new launcher be it <b>Xperia Launcher.apk</b>. Now, you copy this Xperia Launcher.apk to system/app/ directory and rename <b>ADWLauncher.apk</b> to <b>ADWLauncher.apk.bak</b> [We do this so that we can use it later on in case we run into problems.] Now, rename the new launcher (Xperia Launcher.apk) to <b>ADWLauncher.apk</b><br />
and set permissions as <b>rw-r-r </b>(as shown in the diagram above). Now, reboot your device and see the changes take effect.<br />
<br />
That's all to replacing default <a href="http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Android">android</a> home app with whichever launcher you have to make it permanent. You can alternatively install the new launcher and set it as default one in Manage Applications settings too.
