I've gotten used to changing roms, fastboot, recovery, data2sys.

So I'm wondering if there is anything wrong with swapping some parts between customs roms. I've already done this, and everything seems fine. But I just wanted to see if I should be expecting some errors.

Here is one example:

I like this: [Gingerbread] 2.3.4 | CyanogenMod 7 | SwiftDroid (v2.0 M4)| Mur4ik

I also like: data2system mod for 2.3.4 SwiftDroid M4 by Mur4ik

But I don't like the changes made by lavero.burgos when he converted it to data2sys (No offense, personal preference).

More importantly, the data2system mod causes me to have trouble download files from the market. When I download one app, it downloads part of the way, and then starts a second download of the same app, and most times it won't install the app. One time I had 5 simultaneous downloads of the same app. When I use the "stock" SwiftDroid by Mur4ik, I only had this happen once, and the app installed fine.

So I took the boot.img from the data2sys and the system.img from the "stock" SwiftDroid and used fastboot to update the phone. I put the system.img on the userdata partition so it would work. Everything seems fine and dandy on my phone.

Anybody see and problems I may run into?
[GT540 Optimus General] fishears:
Look at my guide to re-partitiioning (in the development forum) as an altermative to dara2system. You get extra space & can use standard swiftdroid..
[GT540 Optimus General] typci:
Thanks, your method looks good. Next time I do a flash I will try it.

Why is 150MB the ideal size for the system partition?

Also, does any data get written to the system partition by the phone during use? Basically, after you flash the system partition does the Android OS use the system partition to store new information or alter any information on the system partition?
[GT540 Optimus General] fishears:
Mur4ik decided on the optimum partition sizes after testing various configurations - basically, he uses this method so you can expect all releases of SwiftDroid to fit within these partition sizes.

The system partition is only usually modified if you get an application update for a system app AND use something like Titanium Backup to integrate the update into the ROM. Under normal circumstances, system app updates are installed to /data/ and so don't affect the system partition.

anyone try it yet?

Nice I'm D-loading will report back. So first Buglesspete, then Joey Krim now this we are lucky SOBs. I am new to this CM for sure coming from the Epic!!!

We have had alot of our peeps slowly coming over this way also :)

are we positive that the Crespo isn't the GSM Nexus S?

Woo Hoo! Downloading / Wiping / Flashing!

Argh!

Sorry!

Please try again.

[Nexus S General] styckx:
Can someone tell me if this ver has 4g. Not flashing yet if not. My current build working fine as is.
[Nexus S General] Hatespawn:
It should be ours. Since its nightly 0(which indicates the first nightly) it wouldn't be the GSM version which has many releases. I am curious if anyone who has flashed can see if 4g settings are in there and working.
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
No there is a separate 4g section for crespo so this is definitly NS4G file. I'll be flashing this tonight. Here is the build.prop text:

I am getting the same error. I did a full wipe of everything... data/cache/system/boot

...and I get the status bar crash. Has anyone installed this with success? I mean of course - is anyone running this successfully?

[Nexus S General] obsanity:
Already fixed and merged into the repository. Should be in the next nightly :)
[Nexus S General] thepolishguy:
Awesome. I hope Joey pulls the fix and updates so we don't have to wait until tomorrow.

[Nexus S General] TheDub:
You know what I like about the Nexus? It's been out for 11 days and has official CyanogenMod support. The Epic has been out for almost a year and didn't make it this far.. I'm seriously doubting it ever will.

Count me in as one of the many Epic traitors.
[Nexus S General] styckx:
This community here is like night and day to that community. There was plenty of good folks over yonder in Epic land, but there was more god damn drama then there was productivity..
[Nexus S General] styckx:
Hey Shabby, your build has no Market either. :D
[Nexus S General] jerbeck24:
Yeah I'm with ya on this...I loved the Epic and all, but this thing is sweet. All of the support this quickly is amazing!
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
course.. you need gapps cant legally stick them in :P
[Nexus S General] styckx:
Oh yeah duh... *facepalm* :p
[Nexus S General] TheDub:
The Epic is a great phone.. unfortunately.. it's selling point, the keyboard, worked so bad most Epic owners are now touch screen typing Pro's, and Samsung shouldn't be allowed to tinker with a phone any further then putting the material together ;) Touchwiz integration ran way to deep into the phones framework.. Great phone, fast hardware, horrible software / bootloader implementation.

I'm sure the support this quickly is due to truly talented developers and for this I'm grateful. Awesome work guys. +1 to all of you for getting the NS4G supported not only with CM but with other ROM's so quickly.
[Nexus S General] styckx:
IT"S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TYME! Woohoo!
[Nexus S General] TheDub:
Oh don't get me wrong by any means. The Epic developers are all GREAT people and all very talented. In reference to CM7 I don't blame the developers at all, Samsung didn't make it easy for them, and they are all very skilled. I know I couldn't do what they have been doing :)

Agree with the Drama.. some interesting things occurred heh. Samsung fueling the fire by failing with Froyo so bad didn't help.
[Nexus S General] styckx:
Being as I just learned how to theme correctly, I can't disagree a bit. :D The developers were great, it was... The "General" forum that made me go nuts sometimes.

:O what else did i forget? also as it turns out i was using the wrong commands and menu to build
[Nexus S General] anaglich:
Cant wait to flash this!

Can we clear a few things up? What gapps is recommended for our device?

Second, what does not work on this rom? Do the power control toggles work, in particular.

Also curious, how long is the boot time compared to stock?

TIA :)
[Nexus S General] styckx:
No CM7 boot logo, ADW was missing..

edit: Something else was missing.. Comparing my performance tests.. 58fps on yours Vs 64.7fps on Rev2 in neocore.
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
there is only a universal gapps now, its in the op

yes power controls work :D

what doesnt work:

the fingerprint reader

sdcard slot

perhaps i should rename it turtlemod >.>
[Nexus S General] cteneyck:
Lolz

[Nexus S General] styckx:
Er.. Typo.. That was 48fps vs 68fps.. 20 fps gap between builds...

this is a classic post :D
[Nexus S General] ballerx43:
I didn't know the NS4G has an SD card slot...

While I was waiting, I needed to do something to kill the time so I made up real quick a Cyanogen Sig. I know theres tons out there but, like I said. I was bored. :D

[Nexus S General] dazednconfused:
I hate working all day, I can't keep up with anything. I'm still using the link from last night with no 4G, which we don't have 4G around my area anyway. Would I probably be better off just staying on this version for now since I don't have 4g service anyway? Im kinda new to CM so I wasn't sure how the nightlies worked. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
ok i fixed it! uploading a new version. will be done soon.. same crap applies need gapps. this one has all the fixin's and works fine

[Vega General] badasschris:
So simple question really has anyone had any experience using both? (specifically the wifi only tab which I have which is worse than the 3g model)

I use my tab for reading books, reading comics and browsing the net. I have a gs2 so for gaming it is much better than my tab. I wont be doing much else than what I have listed so what do you guys think which is better?
[Vega General] M..N:
Well overall the device is good enough for what you need it for, gaming (if you ever wish to) shouldn't be a problem on this due to the tegra 2 processor. Honeycomb is being ported and so far so good so that's a plus. Although the viewing angles on the screen are horrible, front on its beautiful but try looking at it from the sides its quite bad.
[Vega General] fracmo2000:
Yeah, I agree...the screen is horrendous. Little bit chunky...but over all a decent wee tablet. With external hdd support using usb host (fat32 seemed to work best for me)...then onto your big hdtv! Cant do that on a ipad haha!

Ive not used the original galaxy tab...but im guessing sammy has used a nice screen...I would keep it if you already have the sgs2.
[Vega General] Dorank:
The answer is NO, the viewing angle is really small and (at least for me) at an very awkward angle for intensive reading and only works well in landscape mode. For reading I prefer white on black, but the backlight is bleeding like crazy.
[Vega General] M..N:
Although I believe there have been some attempts, to replace the screen with one that has a better viewing angle.
[Vega General] BeeGee_Tokyo:
IMHO

Yes, you get a tablet with a bigger screen, same performance, 3G connection, and HoneyComb (in development).
[Vega General] badasschris:
Thanks guys for your helpful replies.

I think for me the tab probably is better but I just have to get used to the fact it is a rather limited device. I've always thought the Advent vega looked like excellent value for money but as I use my tab pretty much exclusively for reading/comics and web I shouldn't get annoyed that it is not very good at doing much else.
[Vega General] Mr Paul:
No!

The Tab's screen may be smaller but it really is night and day between it and the Vega's screen as far as viewing angles and sheer quality goes!
[Vega General] sbeddoesdesign:
If all you want is a bigger screen then yes, the Vega is amazing value for money. I'm typing this on mine right now! However I'm using an allternative ROM, launcher, browser etc because out of the box it's just useless.

It definitely has problems though, I mean it took me quite some time to get the software to make it behave the way I wanted to, the colours are very washed out (Samsung's screens on the other hand are very good with colour) and the 16:9 presentation is quite useless for anything but movies , especially with the huge menu bar the thing comes with if you don't mod it. Finally, the accelerometer has problems with games, I've not yet had an accelerometer-based game work properly on it...

I bought mine to showcase my portfolio without carrying a load of paper around and for that purpose it's pretty good but it really could do with better colours.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barribow:
Hi Guys,

Recently no matter what ROM I was flashing I was getting FC and crashes. I thought either the ROMs were buggy or my HW had problem. It was very frustrating. Finally I found out:

It's the Titanium Backup which causes the problems.

Most of us have back up and restored lots and lots of times over different ROMs and this causes some of the system files to be overwritten while they are not compatible. Also note that I was trying to be very careful but still this happened.

So please do the following:

1- Delay your Ti restore stage and see if you have problem with your ROM or not, most likely not.

2- Once restoring don't restore data for most apps or file systems, only restore the app. and see if everything is ok or not.

3- For messages use something like SMS back up or sms back up +, etc.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eminembdg:
Yea its a known issue with TI if you restore data especially for any system apps.
