Hello guys

First of all let me say thank you very much for this mod

Your work is really appreciated, many many many thanks.

Its working fast nice everthing smooth, with cwm i partitioned my sd card into 512mbext3 + 128mbswap and still have room on my 1gb.

But i have couple questions.

What is stored on my ext3 ? Why do i need it ? Is swap really used ?

And how can i install the other packs, like font wallpaper xtra ... ohh and kernel :)

This post has a link to an extra package but the link is strange :) like not worth dont download :) hehe

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12085608&postcount=4

http://goo.gl/tPHLJ_NOT WORTH DONT DOWNLOAD

i will now try and update till 4.3

4.3 is up and running

but my sd card is full

could someone explain why i did the repartitioning of the sdcard ? :) i mean i read it somewhere that you should put 512mb for ext3 and 128mb for swap ... but then im left with 384mb of space that i can use , and right now after the 4.3 update my card is full

i also am guessing that the update didnt finished properly since i dont have 30 themes

also with the installtion of 4.1 (1 started with 4.1 not 4.0) i didnt have / had all programs listen in the 1st post of the official thread :(
[Galaxy 3 General] sivakbio:
@Rudolf, thank u very much for ur support and also for custom rom.i had updated to 4.3. Its running smoothly and awesome themes in it.i have been using 8gb sandisk in my galaxy3 but not partioned yet.whats the use of partion?it might be a silly question but i dono much about computer language........once again thank u sooooo much.you are rocking dude...
[Galaxy 3 General] arunmcops:
After partioning sdcard and creatind an ext4 partition u will be able to install as many apps as u can. U can do it via CWM recovery or minitools .
[Galaxy 3 General] sivakbio:
Thank u arun.i will try it out.is CWM or minitool to be downloaded? If so gimme the link please
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
@sivakbio, Cwm is the custom recovery mode of ur cell. Custom recovery has more options than stock recovery. Keep the power button pressed for few seconds. Then u get the power menu. Select recovery

Then u will b rebooted into recovery. Select 'advanced' option Frm the recovery menu. Then select partition SD and choose the sizes u want for a2sd and swap(recommended if u have higher class(>6) SD). Happy partitioning
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
@Rudolf sir, how can I install the Polaris office pack provided by u on my frnd's cell? His cell is sgs2, unrooted and also no cwm recovery. Is it possible to install it frm the recovery mode of his cell? And also is the 'apply update.zip frm sd' option available in stock recovery? I have seen that option in stock 2.1 and enabled live wall papers using that option in our g3.
[Galaxy 3 General] activity20:
do i absolutely need an ext partition on my sdcard ?

if so how big , and why ?

i tryed to factory reset from 4.3 and now my phone wont boot i just get till the indroid boot logo and i wait indefinitly and nothing happens :(
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
Partitioning sd is always optional. By partitioning sd, the apps wich u wil install will use the ext partition on ur sd and phone memory can b saved. In that way u can have more no. of apps without using phone memory much. Partitioning size depends on ur memory card size. Generally 500mb for a2sd and 0-128mb for swap(recommended only if u use higher class(>6) SD)
[Galaxy 3 General] arunmcops:
Thanks vikraam for guiding users in our absence. :)
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:

[Galaxy 3 General] activity20:
thank you very much for the help

i reflashed with 4.1 and still not booting :(

please advise

IT DID BOOT

the logo just went on indefinitly then i rebooted and it did boot :)

< happy user :)
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
wait for atleast 20mins patiently. If u r stuck up at android logo with exclamation mark, then press menu key(left soft key). Then cwm recovery menu will open. Navigate to reboot option using volume keys. Then press reboot

Still if it doesnt boot up, flash jpm, then 4.1
[Galaxy 3 General] arunmcops:
U have to extract the zip file and copy lib and apk file via root explorer.

Copy apk to /system/app and lib file (11mb) to /system/lib and reboot.
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
arun sir, bt copying files in system folder requires rooted phone. Am i right sir? Plz correct me if im wrong sir. Without rooting the phone is it possible?
[Galaxy 3 General] arunmcops:
u can root the phone, copy file and unroot back , if u do not want a rooted phone. although there is no harm in it.
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
Arun sir, i know that there is no harm in rooting. But since it is my frnd's cel, i cannot do that. He will not allow me to do. Thanq for replying me sir.

So the cleanest install comes from jpm then 4.1 ?

Too many flashes wont damage the phone?

I didnt waited 20 minutes. Should i reflash or just be happy its working? :))
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
No need to reflash. No rom flashing wil take more than 10 mins. Actually wen u stuck at android logo while flashing, u have to press menu and select reboot option. Orelse we can simply reboot by holding power menu for few seconds as u did wen u were stuck at android logo.

Every flash memory(phone memory, sd card, usb sticks.etc) has limited no. of read/write cycles. Rom developers flash 100s of times for testing purposes and giving a bug free rom. So trust me u would never reach that limit by flashing rom:-)

did u update to v4.3?

Tapatalked from my super smooth, ultra fast samsung galaxy s2.

No.. will do it? can i update to 4.3 directly skipping 4.1 and 4.2? is the problem solved in it?

From I5801 with Indroid v4
[Galaxy 3 General] activity20:
aha

thanks this should be noted at the installation part :)

since probably many of us, like myself also, are a bit impatient :)

the question is if i didnt let it run fully , can i have any problems ?

phone seems to be running fine

tough this time i didnt make a swap partition and it sometimes semms a bit slughish, so i think ill add one

one more question

http://www.talkandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/androidscreencastscreen.png

how can i make my screen look like that ? i mean the bottom part , i very much like that but dont know what its called and how to apply it to my phone
[Galaxy 3 General] arunmcops:
Yes u can update directly to 4.3.
[Galaxy 3 General] james heed:
Ok. Bt in the instrutions it is said not to rename the zip file. My recovery mode( i dnt hav cwm yet na) says no such file or directory when i try to update to 4.3

From I5801 with Indroid v4
[Galaxy 3 General] rudolf895:
i did not have any such problem, I'd recommend to update to v4.3 and do a factory reset only if the problem still exists after update.
[Galaxy 3 General] rudolf895:
you dont have cwm?

If so you cannot upgrade..

Download and flash v4.1(from torrent link)

then update to v4.3
[Galaxy 3 General] james heed:
Can i try renaming the file to update.zip?

From I5801 with Indroid v4
[Galaxy 3 General] arunmcops:
No. U need to have CWM recovery first. For that download and flash InDroid 4.1.
[Galaxy 3 General] james heed:
Ok.. thanks.. i will update to 4.1 and then to 4.3

From I5801 with Indroid v4

Well the file conversion is ok. How much time did it take u to reboot?

U shud see app2sd memory seperately in titanium after reboot.
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
ur sdcard is not partitioned. And how did u do the partition. Do it via cwm or minitool
[Galaxy 3 General] shreyance:
@brjshshrma I Partitioned using minitool & it took around 25 mins to reboot.

@Vikram My SD card is partitioned as when i load it up in minitool it shows 3 partitions.

Also When i backed up my applications using titanium backup all the apps were installed properly but they were visible only when i removed my sd card but with the sd card mounted those apps were not getting displayed.
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
data wipe may help u. Not sure but. How did u do the restore? While restoring , Sd card should b inserted and u need to select internal storage as default restore location
[Galaxy 3 General] brajesh.sharma87:
Can u tell me wat partitions and size respectively.

After partition and file conversion, u r not supposed to take out the card.

And is app2sd partition not showing in titanium?

[Galaxy 3 General] shreyance:
I didn't removed the card after partition &

titanium ain't showing any app2sd partition.

All were physical partitions & i used Indroid FSC app

& rebooted.

First Partition= fat32

Second Partition= Ext4

Third Partition= Swap (Optional)

All should be primary partitions.

[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
ur sdcard size? If u install 60 to 70 apps, then 500mb is sufficient for ext4 on sdcard. And if u have higher class sd, leave around 200mb for swap.

Microphone problem in certain apps.

Hey I just noticed that I have been facing this weird problem in Indroid 4.3.

The microphone doesn't seems to work in a couple of apps Talking Tom,Roll a Joint,etc.

No matter whatever I speak or how long I speak, it would just pretend to hear and then just give a static noice for about a second or two.

Has anyone else been facing this problem or is it just me?
[Galaxy 3 General] activity20:
i have the defaut 1gb samsung microSD card :P nothing special

i gave 256mb for ext4 and 64mb for swap .

how much space does xtra pack requier ?

is this the xtra pack that i should install after upgrading to 4.3 :

vikraam could you tell me what gets stored on the sd cards "rest" space and what on the ext4 part ? and what gets stored on the phones built in memory then ? :) dohh so much to learn :)

also if i mount the usb as storage then my ext4 gets unmounted for that time ?

i know too many questions, sorry :)

and thanks a lot for the supports, great people :)
[Galaxy 3 General] shreyance:
I had made the partitions as mentioned by you & then had changed the

file systems to rfs for system, ext4 for data & ext3 for cache..

can you please recommend me partition sizes for 4 GB SD card.
[Galaxy 3 General] arunmcops:
U can use upto 1GB for Ext4 partition . if u have sdcard lower than Class 6 then swap is not useful.
[Galaxy 3 General] activity20:
okay now i reflashed to 4.1 with odin then upgraded to 4.3 and i formated also my partition to 256mb ext4 with 64mb swap

taskmanager / summary still says

storage

15.22/193MB

external sd

274/647

So where is my ext4 256mb partition , where can i see it, what is on it , and new apps get installed to the 193MB.... which is mounted to where ?

oh im confused really
[Galaxy 3 General] activity20:
any easy way to determine sdcard class ?
[Galaxy 3 General] arunmcops:
There is bug in app2sd script. It will not show correct size in task manager.

if u want correct size ,check in Titanium Backup.
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
ur sdcard class is 2. If u use swap, it only creates lags. Swap is good only if u use class(> or =6) sd card. Xtra pack use system space. Dont know how much exactly. Apps get stored on ext. Remaining space which is fat32 partition can b used by u for storing song, videos etc and the swap memory is used wen the system wil run out of ram memory. Its helpful on devices having less ram

Kyrillos app2sd script is used in this rom. Read this for more info

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1073000

Wen u mount using usb, ext partition wil b invisible. So the advantage is u can see ur apps even wen the sd is mounted.

[Galaxy 3 General] activity20:
thanks you very much for the clarification

one more thing remains, do i absolutely need to use the partitioning tool after flashing and making any change to System,Data,Cache ?

if i choose to install google maps offline or something bigger that would need space on ext partition , right ?

ill install titanium backup in a moment
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
look on the sdcard. If its class 2, it wil not b mentioned on it. If its >2, the number wil b mentioned on it inside a small circle
[Galaxy 3 General] shreyance:
Okay am just writing the steps please correct me if i am wrong:

0)Backup Apps using Titanium Backup

1) Factory Reset

2) Format SD Using Minitool ( 1 GB Data Partition & Upto 200 MB of Swap Space for SD> or =Class6 )

3)Change File System using Indroid FSC App

System -rfs

Data -ext4

Cache- ext3

4)Wait for 5 Minutes & then Reboot

That's it na...??? :confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
partitioning tool is used to partition sdcard. Partitioning is always optional. If u want to install more numbr of apps, then ur phone memory may not b sufficient. So we partition sdcard so that the apps which we will install will use the ext partition on sd card. In that way u can have more apps.
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
yes and cache to ext2. See the a2sd space in titanium. And the 1gb partition depends on how many apps u install. If u install 60 to 70 apps, 500mb is enough

Hey,

Well I did follow all the steps mentioned by you. After clicking on "Apply", it rebooted automatically and it barely took about 5-6 minutes to reboot. However, now after doing that I did get that Media scanner running notification and it went on till about 15-16%, but after that the scanning stopped abruptly and since then it has just been giving me an error saying "Damaged External SD card". I also can't access the contents in my SD card!
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
i think u made mistake while partitioning using minitool. Did u select primary option while creating partitions?

Just format it again and create the partitions again
[Galaxy 3 General] h4r5h:
Yes, I had selected Primary Type for all the 3 partitions.
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
just create partitions again using cwm recovery. Then put the sdcard in pc and reformat only the ext3 partition created by cwm to ext4
[Galaxy 3 General] h4r5h:
Sure, let me try that. But hey could you please guide me with the values that I need to input for all the partitions. I am using a 16 GB, class 2 micro SD card.

Thanks a lot for guiding me through this. :)
[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
in 4.1, cwm recovery used to create ext3 partition. Now if the cwm recovery is not updated in 4.3, it would create the same ext3 partition. Im not sure whether its updated or not. Anyway u wil know in minitool, wen u put ur sd in pc after partitioning it in cwm. U can create 1 gb ext4 and no swap because ur sd class is 2. Remaining would be fat32
[Galaxy 3 General] h4r5h:
Alright now this is weird.

I partitioned using CWM using the values mentioned by you. i.e. ext - 1GB and swap - 0MB.

Now, after rebooting as soon as I connected it to my PC to change the partition type, it is showing my SD card as a "Bad Disk" in MiniTool. However, when I checked the same in Titanium Backup, it is showing me the a2sd memory bar. :confused:
[Galaxy 3 General] h4r5h:
And as I haven't changed the file system yet, so is the a2sd still in ext3. :confused:

[Galaxy 3 General] V!KR@M:
u have partitioned it right. Now there is ext3 partition on ur sd for a2sd.

I faced this same problem wen i kept sdcard in pc after partitioning wit cwm. It said bad disk. But i tried removing memory card reader and reinserted in pc for 3 or 4 times til it stopped saying bad memory. Then it was normal.

Try keeping sd card in pc with memory card reader till it stops saying bad memory(may be 4 to 5 times) Then change the ext3 to ext4. Thats all. Aftr u do this, insert memorycard back into phone. then convert file systems using indroid fsc and reboot
