Guest mattlokes Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 As I couldn't wait for a reply, I just started experimenting until it worked :) Firstly, unmount doesn't work because it should be 'umount'. Also, it would always fail for me so I stopped the shell first. This is what I did if anyone is interested: WARNING: I don't really know what I'm doing so use at your own risk! - Start a Command Prompt and go to the directory where ADB is stored (e.g. C:\android-sdk\tools) - Type the following commands one by one: adb shell su stop umount /cache busybox mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs / rmdir /cache mkdir /data/cache ln -s /data/cache /cache start Wait a few seconds then press the power button and unlock your Vega, go to the market and download this great game! I take it if the game receives an update we will have to this again? Is there a way to make this change permanent? all i get when i follow these instructions are umount /cache then it returns failed. :S any ideas :huh: ??

Guest Sir Gash Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 all i get when i follow these instructions are umount /cache then it returns failed. :S any ideas :huh: ?? Matt It is umount as in U-MOUNT and not UN-MOUNT, that's what threw me the first time I tried! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mattlokes Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 all i get when i follow these instructions are umount /cache then it returns failed. :S any ideas :huh: ?? Matt :) As i said, when i type UMOUNT /cache it returns failed :P i had a go with unmount for a while and it kept saying didn't know what i was talking about then i saw your post about umount and tried that and all i get is just failed :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mattlokes Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Ok well for those interested, I couldn't get the umount adb command to work with the temporary fix so I worked out a way to resize the cache partition permanently to 50Mb which will keep me future proof until Google increase the App size again. All i did was make a clockwork backup of my system then using the advent installer, I then used a hack I had done before which i wrote a guide on at : Guide to Hacking Advent Stock ROM Installer then by replacing all the images in the stock installer with the clockwork backup, then fiddling with the flash.cfg file to resize the CAC partition to have size=55554432 rather than the previous size=33554432. Then ran lvds.bat and it restored my system to normal with a bigger cache partition. Did lose out on my data partition of course but i have a 16gb microsd so app space is not really a problem :huh: Now Playing Samurai II : Vengeance :) Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest warriorscot Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 There are sites where you can download apk files, we aren't allowed to link to them. But you could buy it on the market and then go get the file from a place like that and it would technically be perfectly legal since you have paid for it. Back in the day when you didn't have the markets that was the only way to find some apps I remember being a ppcwarez lurker when I was still on PalmOS a long time ago.

Totally agree with you and Simonta. I paid for Samurai 2 first on the Market, then downloaded APK, installed and all working fine. Would resort to this method again if necessary i.e. pay for app, download APK if normal install not working.

Guest strontiumboy Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Newbie here I also bought SV II and wasn't too interested in the rigmarole to get it working, I took the crazy step of emailing the developer, received an email 3 mins later, explained the problem and they are putting it on an FTP site for me, also, they are looking at ways to fix the problem. Thank you Marek, top guy Now to play..... Regards Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SilentMobius Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Can someone tell me where I can get the apk I've paid for it in the market and tried the adb fix but didn't work. I asked Paul for help but no reply this is gay might sell my Vega.... Firstly, using "gay" as a pejorative is not the way to get people to help you. Secondly, no one here cares if you sell your Vega. Thirdly if you want help "didn't work" isn't enough information have a look at the earlier comments showing how to produce some more debug info. </rant> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dav0 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Would it work by down loading and installing from somewhere like app brain or is that just the same problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lennyuk Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Would it work by down loading and installing from somewhere like app brain or is that just the same problem? app brain just links you to the market. Either google for the apk, or do what has been done above and email the developer and explain the problem so they can give you a copy of the apk.

Guest kevlar0404 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 If you have a fast SD card and have ROOT access, you can move the cache to the SD card. I change the flash.cfg to make a cache partition of 10 MB on the Avent, so I have more room for apps and move the cache to my 16GB class 8 SD card. The only downside of moving the cache that I found is that I cannot switch my SD card without losing my cache. For moving the cache I use Move Cache for Root Users. http://www.androlib.com/android.applicatio...tility-qDm.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
