SilverLight™
SilverLight™ 5 - alpha !
Hi friends, sorry i'm too late than i expected. Day's passed on swiftly and i'm here to just release the alpha of Silverlight 5.
Important feature is that it is based on Android 2.3.6 !
It has been ported from Alcated 918D [MTK 6573]
Everything works fine. (Special thanks to yasir bro for testing it !!!)
I also named it as Stock Android 2.3.6 update for Spice Mi-350n.
It is just stock, for now
Quote:
Another important thing is that, I'm making this port an open-source port. Since, i saw new rom makers emerging, it would be easy for them to cook/build custom ROMs from this port.
One thing, if someone wants to use it, do give me an information and a credit in your thread !!
Sorry, if i have disappointed you, but full version will be released as soon as possible.
Whats more to come:
Suspense !
You can even come to the time when i ported this one and how i suffered from there on without time to add features, in the download page !!
Quote:
FROM HERE, ALL DOWNLOADS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT OUR GOOGLE CODE PAGE:
First flash a2sd-p1.zip and then flash 2.3.6-update.zip.
NOTE: Flash Dark-tremor a2sd and any equivalent if you want to use it.

It is a SIGNED update.zip. So don't extract it as the other version.
Flashing this zip is enough if you are on SilverLight™ 3.
If you are on stock V2, then download PART1.ziponly and flash it before flashing SilverLight™ 4 ! (no need PART2.zip - no problem even if you flash it).
>> Based on Official Spice build v2 !(thanks to yasir bro!!)
-- If you are on Bala's ROM v1.5/1.01(or did not flash your phone by following this guide), then do please flash your phone with official build v2 using this guide. It takes a mere 7 minutes for you to flash it but it takes hours together for me to make one for v1.5. If you want, i can make one for v1.5 also, but it can't be released within one week. So, bear with me & do upgrade your phone to official v2 !!!
NOTE1: If you are on Bala's ROM v1.5, then you won't lose your apps. Just flash official v2 with the help of flashing tutorial and the flash SilverLight 3 !
NOTE2 (read this only after reading the flashing guide above): If you are upgrading, then in the flashing guide linked above, in step 5, i did it like & it worked : After loading the scatter file, with battery inserted,i connected the phone by pressing Back+Menu buttons. My pc detected it and i clicked Format->Download. I kept holding it till the red process completed and from there everything went fine and flashing was successful.

1) Download 'SilverLight-3_by_balamu96m.7z'. Extract it. Then you'll have SilverLight_Part1_by_balamu96m.zip , SilverLight_Part2_by_balamu96m.zip & SilverLight_Part3_by_balamu96m.zip(These are flashable zips. So do not extract them)
Quote:
2) Copy all the three & place it in your sdcard. (preferably at the root).
Quote:
3) Now boot into recovery (modded or CWM) and choose - flash zip from sdcard --> select zip from sdcard --> select SilverLight_Part1_by_balamu96m.zip.
Let it install without any error. DO NOT TRY BOOTING.
Quote:
4) Now, before installing SilverLight_Part2_by_balamu96m.zip, mount 'System' & 'Data' in recovery (i.e) mounts --> system and then data. Now install SilverLight_Part2_by_balamu96m.zip by steps followed above !. DO NOT TRY BOOTING.
Quote:
4) Again, with similar steps followed before, SilverLight_Part3_by_balamu96m.zip.
Quote:
5) After installing SilverLight_Part3_by_balamu96m.zip, a do a full wipe/Factory reset in the recovery. (It is a must)
THATS ALL !! You have successfully installed SilverLight™ 3 !!
Now boot your phone. First boot may take long time (even 10 minutes !), but don't worry. It will boot !!
STEPS TO ENABLE A2SD after installing the ROM:
NOTE: If you had done this already for Bala's ROM v1.5, no need to do again.
1) Make a backup of all your sdcard files in your computer because partitioning will erase all your files.
2)Now boot in recovery --> partition sdcard --> partition sdcard --> Swap size: 0mb --> Choose size of the partition that you prefer (recommended 1024mb)(not more than 1399 mb because beta 04 supports till that only)
Let it partition your sd without any error !!
[NOTE: If you are partitioning for the 1st time with recovery, the default type of the partition will be ext2 - that is what we need & with this a2sd will work .
If you have mistakenly upgraded your partition to ext3 or ext4, then use MiniTool Partition Wizard (its free) and change your partition to ext2. Only then a2sd will work.]
Now boot normally. Now with the help of A2SD GUI app, make apps to be stored in sdcard(will be on the main-screen!). Your phone will reboot once or few times. Read more about using A2SD GUI in the following 2nd or 3rd post !!
VOILA !! a2sd is working !!! You can verify/view its space with titanium backup app !!
Now you can place all your files back on your sdcard.
With recovery you can even backup your sd-ext whenever required. (sd-ext is the place where apps which you install will be stored)

USING A2SD GUI [For v1.5+]
'A2SD settings' on the app's main screen.
------You can choose where apps that you install should be saved either in sd-ext (sdcard partition) or your internal memory.
------ 'Zipalign on boot is off' - is recommended because the ROM is already zipaligned and doing it again on boot will take more time to boot.
------'Swap is deactivated' - I have not used it.....maybe you/anyone can try and reply !
DALVIK:
-- You can choose where Dalvik cache should be saved. Go more info on Dalvik-cache, try googling n reading the wiki about it.Other things can remain the same......
---other tabs, you yourself can read & understand !!
Some more:
One thing to remember - sd-ext is like internal memory for phone, but phone can't find how much space is used or left in sd-ext. Titanium backup will help you there......
All third-party/system apps will tell that apps are installed in phone memory......you should understand that sd-ext is also like internal memory for phone and all other apps !!
Apps should be installed normally .......but your free space in internal memory will remain the same even after installing apps.....you'll notice that ur sd-ext space will be reducing........
Phone can't find how much space is left in sd-ext but titanium backup will help you to know !!
If you find decrease in phone memory even when a2sd in enabled, use a2sd gui to reinstall all app to sd-ext.....u can also type this command in terminal emulator :
su
a2sd reinstall
More over one should not move apps to sdcard in 'application settings' when using a2sd !!
please elaborate your problem.......is your phone not booting ?? or not able install in modded recovery ??
try making a wipe data/factory reset and then install the ROM......also disable 'Signature Verification' (it is a must) and try.............reply !
1. i hav wiped all data
2. i hav wiped SD card
3. disabled sign verification
4. unzipped yor rom and puted in proper folder.
5. but i selected to restore yor rom its shows some ..... (dots) for few second and shows oops something went wrong...
6. i am not able to install yor rom... using and testing its a later thing...
i'm trying to fix the error - 'Oops..something went wrong'.............also i'll try to create a working update.zip........................
about the RAM consumption, without ant app running, i'm getting 101 mb free and 128mb used..........it looks to ok but need to improve............
i'll post the update.zip as soon as possible !!
