[equan]

good tutorial.very useful for newbie.

naset,
aku tak berapa pahamla macammana nak buat ni,
step 1 dah ok, aku dah tulih semua nombor yg keluar kat hp aku,
pastu aku enter, benda "#" kelwaq kat bawah, camna aku nak buat step

aku mmg suka hp ni, tapi time tu aku tak tau plak yg boleh buat macam2.
eh, hang dok aloq staq ka? aku pun asai sana tapi dok kat KL. harap hang boleh cerita step dia ngan lebih detail, aku guna ekonsole...

hg msuk forum malaysian user pstu post kt sana.nnt aku reply kt sana.kt cni nnt depa mrh lak sbb guna bhasa malaysia.

Can we still using "BackupNow.lin" and "Restore.Lin" when we move the native db to diska?

There is another way to make to phone faster ... is there anyone to try to separate the partition of the phone.... after the examination, i'll try it ... and we let u know the result

@sassyboy2412 Sound interesting.

[whitesyaugi]

@sassyboy2412, separate the partition of the phone is very attractive once although dangerous enough. if trying to separate the partition in sd/mmc card... I will dare to try .. but in phone memory. whew...I consider first because too much risk.

You're very brave if you try it on your phone...

who will become volunteer??

i will search how to do it, and i will give the tutorial here.

@whitesyaugi
I promise I will try it if you give the method before the end of the day(1st June 200. LET'S DO IT.

[whitesyaugi]

There is 2 way, but both just for SD/MMC Card. For create or separate partition on phone memory, I still lookin for.

in qonsole type fdisk - l

Ok Triplebit, here's the method :

thanks to andrei_syah and yngieaxl from motorolafans....

on fdisk run command p :
Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/mmca1: 1030 MB, 4424252272270514688 bytes

The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

WARNING: If you have created or modified any DOS 6.x

finished succesfully.

Another way :

1. First start with mounting the memory card: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda
2. Make a complete backup (it will be formatted remember) and unmount it: umount /mnt/sda1
3. Start fdisk (that is utility for managing disk partitions): fdisk
/dev/sda
4. Type "p" to see the current list of partitions
5. Press "d" followed by the number of the partition in order to delete it. Verify with p again

6. Now for the example we will create a FAT partition
- Type "n" to start creating new partition. It will ask you for
extended or primary partition - type p;
- Type the number of the partition (eg 1 as it is first partition)
- It will ask you for Cylinder - type "1" as we start from the
beginning of the flash card
- On the question for last cylinder type the size of the FAT partition that you require (+200M for example)
- Test if it is created successfully with p

7. Now we will make a SWAP partition
- Type "n" for new partition
- Type "p" for primary partition
- Type "2" as it is second partition on the SD card
- On the first cylinder it will load the end of the FAT partition by default

- Again type the size of the partition (+50M or whatever you want)
- Type "t" to change the partition
- Type "2" to select the second partition that we just created
- Type "82" which is Linux SWAP
- Type "p" to verify

8. Create the EXT3 partition:
- "n", followed by "p" and "3" again
- Enter on the default first cylinder (loaded the end of the SWAP automatically)
- Enter on the default end cylinder (loaded the end of the free space automatically)
- Type "p" to verify. Usually it will load partition type 83 (Linux
EXT3) by default. If not - type "t -> 3 -> 83"

9. If everything is ok - type "w" and it will do it. If you made a
mistake - you can always quit prematurely with CTRL+C or with "q" and start over.

10. Now in /dev we have sda1, sda2 and sda3. We need to format them
- "mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1" command will format the FAT partition
- "mkswap /dev/sda2" will format the SWAP partition
- "mkfs.ext3 -j /dev/sda3" will formwat the EXT3 partition

11. That's it. You can respectfully mount those partitions on your phone by telnet connection.

If anyone know the other way to separate partition of the phone memory, please post here, let we try together.

I also will try it.

It looks scrary though.

Here, I write the step-by-step that should be done to move my native.db from /ezxlocal to /diska that relatively have more space. I have tried to move the database to the MMC (/mmc), but the loading process was quite long. Thanks to akhaliq from MotorolaFans Forum for the idea.

The first thing to do is switch off the phone antenna, and then kill all db_daemon process that run in the background, using ekonsole or Qonsole.



Note that the command kill above depends on your own PID’s db_daemon process.

Then, do this steps.



After that, reboot the phone..., and see..your e680i is more faster now.

Warning : Move native.db is dangerous, if fail, you will lose all of your Phonebook (contact) and sms.
is your own risk, you've been warn!

Hi, whitesyaugi..


Do you get this tutorial from this site? I think it’s quite same with yours; even the syntaxes (especially PID numbers) are identical. Also, the post is older than yours is. If it’s right, I think you should give the blog’s writer credit.


However, thanks for sharing.
