IN ORDER TO RUN ADB COMMANDS IN CMD COPY
[ADB.EXE, AdbWinApi.dll & AdbWinUsbApi.dll]
FROM YOUR SUPERONECLICK FOLDER TO YOUR
/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32


Basically 1.6 root was of no use

2.1 gives you really the benefits of your rooted phone

things it offers (thanks to the xda masters)

1. Xrecovery
2. App2sd
3. JIT
4. THEMES
5. and many more (I know but they are quite risky, I need to try them first)

1. XRECOVERY - THE BEST THING THAT CAN HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE

3. JIT - BOOST UR PHONE SPEED
   
   
   DOWNLOAD THIS
   
   STEP 1 - >
   
   Run -> Cmd
   
   type
   
   Quote:

   cd c:\

   type in this code
   
   Quote:

   adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop this will copy the build.prop to C:\

hilarius.yang

does it work on X8?

suhel28

Ofcourse... this is x8 forums

kiz1983

when u type su, it will show the # or the $ symbol? coz mine shows the $ symbol, izzit ok?

suhel28

when you type su it should show #

if it isn't than the following maybe the possibilities...

1.you haven't rooted your phone.
2. you don't have superuser installed on your phone
3. you didn't allow superuser permissions for your adb (usually when you type su a popup will appear on your phone asking permissions)

kiz1983

k thanx, forgot to allow permission on my phone ^^

kiz1983

another one, y it says cant cd to the folder mentioned in the sdcard?

suhel28

elaborate plz

kiz1983

when im on cd /sdcard/jit-toggle-0.1
i got an error message saying 'can't cd to /sdcard/jit-toggle-0.1'

suhel28

check if the folder you've extracted on your SDCARD has the same file name as the one you've typed in cmd

kiz1983

nvm, im using better terminal, running it thru my phone..

kiz1983

im using better terminal, problem solved..

whts the quadrant score u guys manage to get after jit? mine around 500, izzit ok?

suhel28

yeah

kiz1983

ok i hav a question bout xrecovery, how to make sure im using the busybox provided?

suhel28

You don't have to...

simply put & replace the busybox that is inside the zip file to

/system/bin

Blitzkri3g

Xrecovery is backing up everything as I type!

Suhel,I ve got one question!
Does Apps2SD needs partitions in order to work ok?
Whats the advantages of creating partitions?
Can we just use one and be done with it?
N.

PS.Its already 6.30 A M here so I m calling it a night. :P
Tomorrow is JIT/APPS2SD and application installing time!

suhel28

Partition is required as if you don't do it... your card won't mount as usb storage... the pc will recognize whole of your card as system storage :-)

coman_nick

GL Blitz! Remember to format your SD first

Blitzkri3g

Ok! Got it! Thank you Suhel for the info!

Hm,I still need some help regarding
this procedure though...
Sorry,bear with me and treat me as
completely mobile illiterate!

For Apps2SD I need to do the following:

1.Format the SD Card using the PC.
2.Create Partitions.
How many? What sizes?
Which partition should I use for which use?
Should I use for example a GB for apps
and the rest 14 GB for SD storage?
3.Can I use xRecovery to create those partitions?

Thank you in advance!
N.

1. ok, I did it by phone settings
2. 2 partitions:
a: a FAT32 - regular SD card
b: a ex2 partition, recognized by linox(&android)
3. Don't think so. Better use
SD card partitioning - XDA-Developers

Just be patient and read carefully. You can always reflash the x8 2.1 rooted image if something is wrong. Or you can make a xRecovery backup

suhel28

someone has became an expert in rooting

Blitzkri3g

W T F ?!? 40 min for an aswer?

LOL Just kidding!

Well,I m making partitions using MiniTool s Partition software.

The files that were already on the SD Card should be copied back to the first new FAT32 partition right?
Also the same goes for the apps2Sd script file?

N.

coman_nick

@Suhel:

Nope, I just have a lot of patience and will . And let's not forget about the help you gave us.

@Blitz:

Yes. And remember that nothing from your former card is important. It creates it's necessary files by itself. Only copy music, pictures an whatever you know is important.

The ext2 partition you won't be able to see in windows. It's ok.

How about 5 min anwer?

Blitzkri3g

Thanks man! You were really helpful joking aside,as is Suhel!

Also for everyone that still has questions,please take a look at this post!

Hm,it may be a stupid question but why type

C: should be the partition/HDD you have the script on?
Nevermind.Sorry.I wasnt reading carefully.

hehe..

coman_nick

You were for me!

suhel28

thanks man... Means alot to know someone benefited with my lil knowledge...:-)

Blitzkri3g

Just did the JIT bit...
How do we know its enabled 100%?
Btw,its taking forever for the phone to boot...
N.

PS.Suhel,thats the same for me! My first android forum right after I got this X8!
Also I must say that its really a better community than the XDA one.
Even though the devs are all over there cooking roms and all,
its still a MUCH MUCH cleaner forum here...

You'll have this problem for few boots...

For jit download Quadrant and run benchmark test...

Your CPU score should be around 500

Blitzkri3g

I hear you! Its 525!

vince_junior

help!

after enabling jit, the phone reboots for a like forever....but it rebooted!

but after disabling jit (i followed the instruction), the phone froze!!!! it's just in the sony ericsson white logo!

what shall i do? please help!!!!1

lokesh534

You might have done something wrong. best solution - Flash your phone using Bi4ary flasher to 1.6 or by using SEUS.


After Rooting your phone, install Xrecovery and backup your device before you proceed to install JIT or app2sd.

vince_junior

why do you have to enable jit, and disable it afterwards?

vince_junior

bout xrecovery: sorry for these beginner's questions:

1. where can i find root explorer, in the market?
2. how do you "remount /system rw"?
3. how do you do this: "#1 USE THE BUSYBOX VERSION AVAILABLE IN THE ZIP FILE, OTHER THAN THAT IT WONT WORK
#2 AFTER YOU COPY THOSE THREE FILES YOU NEED TO SET PERMISSIONS

THE METHOD TO DO THAT IS
-> TAP & HOLD THE FILES INDIVIDUALLY ONE BY ONE AND CHOOSE PERMISSIONS AND TICK ALL THE OPTIONS OVER THERE
"

thanks for all the patience....


edit: got it already! working perfectly! my remaining problem now is jit.....since my phone froze the first time i try to jit it, i had to reflash! now im having second thoughts of continuing with the jit....

since i was able to backup successfully using xrecovery, if my jit attempt fails again, can i restore the previous state of my phone without reflashing?

lokesh534

1. Root explorer is a paid application in the market. There are some sites where you can download them for free but i will not recommend them until you or your parents doesn't have a credit card or paid applications isn't available in your country(you are from Philippines right?) .

2. If u use root explorer, "mount RW or RO" option will be at the top of the application itself.3. After mounting system/bin folder as RW copy those three files to system/bin.. Another busybox version will already be there in system/bin u need to replace it with the busybox version wic comes with this package. YOU JUST HAVE TO COPY AND REPLACE THE FILES.

Regarding JIT - if u want JIT, enable it. if u dont want them, disable it

vince_junior

I know this sounds stupid, but just a clarification: in the tutorial, jit should be enabled and disabled afterwards? does it mean that it's good for one time execution and everything goes well already? or should it be kept enabled forever to enjoy its benefits?

thanks for patiently answering.....

lokesh534

Nothing like that.. Just enable JIT and leave it that way. In the future if u feel u dont want JIT then open cmd and type those disable codes.

vince_junior

successfully jit'd my phone! got quadrant score of 521 (way better than 460+ before jit was installed!).........my mistake before was i disabled jit (i thought it was part of the process...lol) that's why my phone froze at the SE logo (but it really froze after disabling jit....many those at xda expreienced the same....maybe there's a bug somewhere there?)

thanks lokesh for patiently answering my queries!

Boianeze

What's the difference when using JIT and not using it? I'm still on 1.6 root and it's quite fast enough for me right now. How much fast can it be? lol

coman_nick

First of all, 2.1 is visibly faster than 1.6. Second, Jit increases performance in cpu demanding apps by at least 20%. I don't know what quadrand scores are based on, but Linpack checks computer processing power in mflops/s. And Linpack shows a bigger increase. Especialy on the 2nd-3rd run.

imp

thanks for these add on!

2.1 rooted xrecovery + app2sd + jit installed

mhyke13ph

i have a question about the add ons, should i install all the add ons on you post? or i can select which one i need?

i just rooted x8 with the latest super 1 click on your thread, super user is installed

i tried to skip xrecovery and apps2sd and tried JiT first but i cant make it work.

i did this
run > cmd > cd c:\
c:\ adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop - but error it is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable command or batch file

i must not skip xrecovery > app2sd > before jit?

noob here

imp

you have to make sure you have the android SDK tool installed...that has the adb shell file in the same directory that you want to use it.

I think I found a bug...somewhere with these addons...you must have your SD card inside your phone in order for your phone to boot...is it because Jit enabling has to be done on the SD card?

suhel28

did you type c:\ before adb pull???

mhyke13ph

is there any prerequisite programs before doing this JiT? just what imp said? i don't have the SDK tool yet installed, is this thing got to do something?

so what i did was run > type cmd > im in command prompt now > cd c:\ to return to c:

c:\adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop

then error message appear "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable command or batch file"

suhel28

if you've downloaded the super one click thing you will notice three files in it

AdbWinUsbApi.dll
AdbWinApi.dll
adb.exe


copy all of them in a new folder say "adb" and place it anywhere say you placed it in c:\

now go to cmd

cd c:\adb

adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop

i hope this works
