1) You need to root your Samsung Galaxy 551, I use superoneclick

1.)Extract contents of sdcard.zip to your sdcard
2.)Open the terminal emulator/adb shell
3. open a command window(START > RUN > cmd(as administrator)
3a)cd /c:/adb/android-sdk/tools
3b.)run the following code
$su
#busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
#cat /sdcard/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk > /system/app/LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
#cat /sdcard/libRS.so > /system/lib/libRS.so
#cat /sdcard/librs_jni.so > /system/lib/librs_jni.so
#reboot

when asked for superuser privileges after su give them.

** after every line press Enter

*** If you have problems, make sure that you have the busybox installed on your phone


for me work put adb shel on disc c

Rooted, installed many root-only apps, backed-up with titanium, partitioned SD card to use link2sd and enabled live wallpapers. Next step is to upgrade the stock 2.2 ROM. Any suggestions about the custom ROMs which our beloved GT-i5510 supports??

Hey guys whats the best version of android for Samsung i5510, and how to install it in my phone, i´ve been searching for hours but no luck... is there any official update of the original rom?, by the way... is android 2.3 faster than 2.2?

I mean wich android version consumes the less recourses or could give me the best experience with my Samsung i5510 phone?...
Oh.. guys i used to have a HTC phone with windows mobile, and when i changed the original rom, also had to change the "radio" and some other weird ****.... do i have to do the same thing when upgrading or changing my original rom on android devices? :cowboy:

Samsung i5510 (Colombia South America)... Thanks very much for your help, and sorry for my grammar.

    Greetings,

    I'm new to the android world, my device is Samsung Galaxy 551 or GT-I5510. As I searched through the internet, uncle G! and aunt Y!, even brother B!.. the only way to save internal space is to move apps to SD card. But the way it works is limited, not until the phone is rooted.

    It would be nice if someone kind enough to point me on how to root this device or maybe a documentations / links / tutorials.

    Here's what I've tried with vain (I wonder if I did something wrong in the proccess) :

    - "how to install apps to the sdcard on froyo" : tutorial from Androinica
    - z4root apps
    - universal androot

    Spec of this device :

    All kind of help will be appreciated, and since its my first post (thought I read the rules and do search before posting), please tell me if I did something wrong.

    Updates :
    Rooting possible using Super One Click

    Now my Titanium Backup and App2SD works like charms. Please read all instruction carefully, and the process wouldn't be a pain :)

    i tried it but when i press enter after first line it says mount -o not found
    :confused::confused::confused:

    using terminal is a little harder, and not all the time working.
    you can connect your phone to computer, activate USB Debugging, start adb shell and copy paste line by line there

    !!! your phone must be rooted and you have to give root permission to adb or terminal
