Tutorial move e680i native.db from /ezxlocal to /diska

[whitesyaugi]

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.

/ # ps ax | grep db_daemon

171 ? S 0:02 /usr/bin/db_daemon -shareenv -tapi

191 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/db_daemon -shareenv -tapi

192 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/db_daemon -shareenv -tapi

195 ? S 0:01 /usr/bin/db_daemon -shareenv -tapi

197 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/db_daemon -shareenv -tapi

198 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/db_daemon -shareenv -tapi

207 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/db_daemon -shareenv -tapi

208 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/db_daemon -shareenv -tapi

284 pts/0 S 0:00 grep db_daemon

/ # kill -9 171 191 192 195 197 198 207 208

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

Then, do this steps.

mkdir /diska/.system/sysDatabase

cp -p /ezxlocal/sysDatabase/* /diska/.system/sysDatabase

mv /ezxlocal/sysDatabase /mmc/mmca1/sysDbBackup

cd /ezxlocal

ln -s /diska/.system/sysDatabase

chown ezx:ezx sysDatabase

chown -R ezx:ezx /diska/.system/sysDatabase

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.

After I connect the phone to a computer using storage mode, the contact list, sms and the calendar are not available any more. I need to restart the phone to get them back.

You did wrong so you lost them ... careful when you type the command

[whitesyaugi]

triplebit, i'm sorry to hear that...

While you typed the command correctly, in accordance with the tutorial from me, it's alright if being connected with USB storage mode.

before I post here, I have tried repeatedly by various connection mode : USB LAN, Bluetooth, and storage.

be careful!
If You did wrong or fail, all will be lost.

Hey it is not that bad. I mean, I'm not losing them. We just have to restart to manipulate the contant and so on after connecting via storage mode. Just to inform those people who want to try. Your method work great and don't worry I've back up my database so I can take them back everytime I needed. You are the man. It's really faster.!!
