Hi peeps. I just need a little help if you guys can help me here. I recently just bought a Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 with stock Froyo 2.2.1. I already updated to the latest Gingerbread 2.3.4 and I wanted to install a custom ROM using CM7.

1) I already rooted the phone.

2) Checked "Unknown Source"

3) Installed Clock Work Mod

4) Copied the latest CM7 (update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyMini-KANG-signed-15112011) to root of SD card.

5) Booted to recovery mode and followed the following steps:

A) Wipe data and cache from the options

B) Select the option ‘install zip from sdcard’ then select ‘choose zip from sdcard’

C) Selected the zip "update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyMini-KANG-signed-15112011"

D) Waited for installation to finish. After completion I wiped data & cache again.

Now here is my problem:

I followed all the steps over and over from yagyas way and other forums and even tried to clear only cache after installation but still my when my phone boots I am stuck on a screen with only "ANDROID" shown.

Could it be the latest CM7 that I am using that is not compatible with my unit? Or am I doing something wrong? Please help. I really want CM7 and any help here is greatly appreciated.

If you can help, and have the patience, please give me specific details on installing CM7 on my S5570. Thanks for all the help here.

By the way, my version of 2.3.4 Gingerbread is S5570DXKPD_S5570OLBKPD (Asia) and I was wondering if could this be 1 of the problems?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mr_v_d:
Sorry for my bad english...

Follow there

1. Your phone already updated to 2.3.4

2. Install CWM and copy CM7 rom to your sdcard

3. Boot in to CWM, choose wipe data and cache

4. Choose "Install zip from sdcard" and "choose zip from sdcard", browse to CM7 rom and install

5. Reboot your phone and wait...

p\s: Fist boot after flash will be have a long time, therefore, dont care:D

Maybe thats ur problem..as squadzone already said that this version is for european rom(xxkpi etc)..lets wait for other people answer..

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] giri_189:
Which one is better? Darktremor or Link2sd ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] splattx_x:
I flashed squadzone's CM over tj's CM, but before all that I had Latin-American Gingerbread and never had a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] distan7:
@ghost0815

I'm using DXKPD too for South East Asia region and never had a problem.

Which CWM that you use, v4 or v5 ? And how did you install it ? Through Odin or else ?

I suggest you try to take out your SD Card when you finished flashing CM (after wiping data and cache). And I suggest you use 17112011 (latest stable stock CM 7) version because 15112011 version has several mods included.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nishanty13:
In my view none,

Use S2E
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] heatledger:
S2E needs something else flashed after the rom? as for app2sdGui that requires darktremor script flashed from recovery? Or simply install it from the market?

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] distan7:
AFAIK, there are at least 4 methods : A2SD Darktremor, Link2SD, S2E and Ungaze.

The best method for you is the one that suits your need in the way most convenient to you. Try. Explore. Only then you can come to a conclusion :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
Best answer
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nishanty13:
S2E just requires partition ext 2/3/4. No flashing anything else.

Most easiest ( I have tried all) .

Just download and enjoy.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] syahrilhafiz:
I just wanna help you all which can't use S2E..follow this step in link below..could help you because i use it :)

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kandros:
S2E allow to move ALL dalvik cache and ALL apps to sdext with no need to flash script

A2SD needs to be flashed as darktremor's script and use A2SD gui for manage things otherwise terminal commands, it allow to manage zipaling(we have a script already in this rom to do that) manage swap and swappiness(another script already do this in our rom) and move ALL dalvik and apps to sdext..

link2sd allow to move manually (and very easy) any app's apk and/or dalvik and/or data wherever you want.

well why we do this? because our phone have very low internal memory and some apps have problems when moved to the fat partition of the sdacard so we can treat the phone thinking that the apps we moved to sdext are actually on the phone making widgets runs etc etc..

i dont see any benefit from moving ALL, what is the point to have a lot of space free in the phone and all the apps and dalvik cache on sdext?

isn't the internal memory much faster than the sd? is believe that is

so personally i prefer to have the apps i use the most of the phone wich makes them a bit faster and other apps in sdext

@HEATLEDGERthe theme is a mdpi ICS theme i really dont remember where i get it, try google ics mdpi theme
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
Yea, my sdext is now full and I still have some internal memory left, but can't use it.

Btw how many Apps have u guys installed from market? 40...50?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] giri_189:
Ohh! How much apps you have installed??!! :-o:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ghost0815:
What is a better version of CWM? v4 or v5?

Should I install v4 first before I install v5?

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

What is a better version of CWM? v4 or V5 cause I installed v4 and then on yagya's forum he said update it to v5. By the way I used Odin. Thanks for the help here.

I give up. I even tried the latest CM7 17-11-2011 and still cant run on my galaxy mini. I tried European ROM, tried Asian ROM and yes its v2.3.4 followed all instructions. Waited for almost 30 mins, tried all other suggestions to wipe data/cache before and after or only cache or both after and still stuck on damn "Android" screen. 30 mins.

My phone must not want CM7

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
Around 60 I think, but it's giving me ram problems...I need to think of something.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kandros:
buy autostarts, it is worth the money... like 99% of the apps autostarts in background when some kind of things appens, like most of them auto starts their services at boot, others whenever there is a change in wireless option do starts automatically. for example facebook app starts in background at boot and if closed restart automatically when there is a network change(wifi/data on/off).

this app let you change those parameters for any single app, even system one
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
Yea I came across that, will give it a try. trying autorun manager now.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] wanxbotak:
I have 81 app, no prob at all, i'm using Ram manager from Juwe to control my ram..:D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nishanty13:
Just one thing did you both used cwm 5 . If yes that's the problem.

USE CWM 4 . I also suffered the same problem a while ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
Oh, I'm waiting for it to be up on market.

Is that miui battery mod itself or...a battery font?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] wanxbotak:
Where? opps no battery icon, i'm use statusbar battery, its in cm setting/interface/ statusbar tweak..:D

about ram manager i,m google it..it is somewhere..:p
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kandros:
whats the point to have 180 mb free of 187? is just wasted space... internal memory is much faster than sd card
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
Oh! My bad then I'm not on this update.

Nice...squad implemented miui battery huh! didn't notice it in changelog
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
It doesn't affect much. 180mb is simply not enough memory, unless u've only installed a few lite apps...even swap doesn't affect. If ur ram usage is not below 50 or 60 everything will be fast.

But ur mileage may vary ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] loveablekrish:
autostarts is better than autorun manager....

autostarts is a must have app ...the one with car logo

..try it u ll love it....for ram management autostarts + ram manager pro is the best combo for me....device is fast...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
Thanks..will give it a shot :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kandros:
i mean about a2sd and internal memory not ram, sdcard is slower than internal memory wich will make apps faster , why dont you use both instead to waste the insternal no using it??
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] D-dy:
Im using ESTaskManager for controlling startup apps. It has root option too.

Great ! I can send file via bluetooth to other sgm now

Thx alot Squad n Tj-style ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
Have u experienced any difference?

Yea even I wish apps will be installed in internal when sdext is full but after the a2sd hack android thinks ext is the internal memory. Also I wonder if the /data/data/ can also be moved to ext...but doesn't bother me.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] A5D:
noob

im planning to flash ur ROM from cyanogen music edition ..

music edition started showing some trouble....so i think ill move to ur ROM ...

which version should i use cm7.2 or the older...?

i use a2sd and hav partitoned sd card..

i have a nandroid backup...of my current rom..

i want to know that can i flash ur rom without wiping data? cuz some apps cudnot be backed up since music edition throwed up problems...

wat if i do a titanium restore of my apps ?will all apps be on a2sd partiton or some on my phone and some sd card?(cuz i hav seen while moving apps to sd card via titanium backup the apps are moved to sd card and not on a2sd partition)...

and if want to restore appps using cwm which options shud a check (like restore sd-ext and what else?)

also if a2sd is preenabled in ur ROMs(17-11-2011 and cm7.2)?

also i hear ppl are having data connectivity issues with cm7.2?

should i flash it or not?

i hav used all cm7s excpet squadzone's and have had no data issues

thanks in advance

to prevent problem obviously dont change system apps if you are not sure about what are you doing...

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Fraser1978:
Hey Squaddie.

Suggestion: Add CWM Zip download to this thread and all futures in order to save others searching for the download every time they have to reinstall.

Just trying to help!

I will flash this new update today. I need to do it now cos my phone is playing up a little just haven't had time to update! Hope the auto-rotate finally fixes itself!

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] A5D:
gapps not working...flashed via cwm...on boot nothing happens
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ljyudha:
have you mount system at cwm before flashing
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nishanty13:
Hey squad can I use the rom manager's CWM.

I tried manual flash override but it only showed CWM 2.X & CWM 3.X and I am running 4.x.

NOTE : I am not interested in experimenting rom manager as I don't want to brick my phone.

If you are confirm then only suggest me.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
I guess you got me wrong. I was not asking you to upgrade to v5, I was just telling v5 is also available if you want to give it a try. Also, it seems like you can't falsh a rom successfully with v5 (stuck at ANDROID logo) so I suggest you use v4 for flashing rom. However, unlike many other who complained v5 doesn't work, v5 is working fine for me. :)

Also, you can always PM me if you are unclear or have any question, or you may even post a comment in my blog so that I will reply you there and remove your doubts. :)

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

You need to mount system and data in CWM recovery before flashing gapps. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
?? I'm not on cwm 5...but it

Works fine but can't flash?

Ok I think that was only for him...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] denzel09:
my question is why cwm format ext partition in ext3. Also if we format w external program this partition in ext4, all good until we do a restore of sdext. Partition here begin again in ext3. Discussing here

Or at least mini tool see the partition converted by cwm in ext3.

It will be good patched cwm sources i think.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] distan7:
Now that's a long question :)

1. Use either CM 7.2.0-RC1 (less stable since still in RC version) or CM 7.1.0-17112011 (stable version).

2. No a2sd pre-configured, feel free to use whatever you like.

3. When flashing ROMs it's advised to always wipe data & cache after flashing unless you know exactly what you're doing. Hence a proper backup prior to flashing is strongly recommended.

4. Nandroid backup, eventhough you could do partial restore (data.img only or boot.img only) is not advised to be used in mixed ROM build. You'll never know what might happen. Specially if you're moving between ROMs from different build and different devs.

5. What apps could not be backed up from CM7-ME ? Titanium Backup (TB) never fail me in making backups.

6. You can restore your TB files but please apply filter. Be cautious when restoring system apps. I suggest you restore "data only" for system apps having GREEN title only, and do not restore data for "CyanogenMod Settings" or "Setting" unless you're using ROMs with same build. Any system app data with TB icon (accounts, WiFi, Country is save to restore).

6. I'm using A2SD Darktremor, and before restoring apps using TB, I always set default install location to "Internal" in CyanogenMod Settings. After restoring, I check on applications menu to see which app stays on SD, then move them to phone.

7. No data / phone call / SMS / GPS / WiFi issue on my device, either using CM 7.2-RC1 or CM 7.1-17112011
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
My answer:

Format it to ext 4 using any tool and take a nand backup...so now if u restore it'll still be ext 4 and not 3.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] A5D:
Thank you very much for answering my post :)

in the 6. point of your answer...

Cud I please elaborate a bit ..over way should I do first ..restore app via TB or enable dark tremor...nd wat to do after that? I mean moving apps to sd-ext.......
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] denzel09:
but are you sure of this because i tried and looking sdext by mini tool i saw that partition was again formatted in ext3. So for this i am not sure.. :confused:

Edit: maybe you are right i dont know buddy, i must do a try more later ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
Oh..sorry I'm not sure. I'm not on Linux to verify it. But this is what I might try doing:

(in Linux environment)

Format the card completely.

Then format a certain portion to ext4 using any tool.

Check if there is only fat and ext4 partition existing.

BUT NOW U CAN'T DO A NAND RESTORE.

Should use TB to restore everything.

Now take a nandroid. It'll be in ext4.

And any future restore will be in ext4

One more stupid idea:

Use a2sd to convert it to ext4 then remove it and use s2e or some thing else of ur wish.

Take a back up.

First idea is better. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] denzel09:
Buddy so if i understand what you mean:

First case: classic nandroid in ext3 -> partition formatted in ext4 by external tool -> restore previous nandroid w cwm -> sdext agian ext3

Second case: backup w TB -> partition formatted in ext4 by external tool -> restore previous backup w TB -> nandroid now will be in ext4 ? -> if yes every next restore w cwm will be in ext4 ?

If yes, i think that only next restore of ONLY that backup will be in ext4, correct me if i wrong; if i a new nandroid i think that cwm will format again sdext in ext3, or not?

;)

......

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

I have not use darktremor script and i think to know what are commands to convert partition from ext3 to ext4, but, after a restore w cwm if i convert sdext in ext4 only new data will be written on ext4, all previous data restored by cwm will be written still on old previous ext3.

This is the problem. Honestly i dont know why cwm format sdext in ext3 and not ext4 btw ....

Thanks buddy

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

A "good" solution that i tried was backup w root explorer entire sdext, then format sdext in ext4, then paste previous backup and for last change all permissions with terminal, all togther. And it works very good. But i am not very satisfied...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
Denzel don't confuse yourself to much.

Take a TB backup.

Convert to Ext4 using tool.

Restore TB.

Backup using cwm.

Done. Now ur sdext will be backed up as ext4...and so it'll restore as ext4.

Cwm will take an image of everything as backup and it will not convert anything during restore. It'll simply restore that image.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] denzel09:
Ok, i will do also in this way bud ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] distan7:
Here are the steps right after you finished flashing :

1. Do all the necessary setup (APN,date, timezone, etc).

2. Flash A2SD Darktremor via CWM (mount system and data first)

3. Install A2SD GUI from market in case you want to move dalvik-cache to sd-ext or you want to enable zipalign on boot.

4. From CyanogenMod Settings, set install locations to internal

5. Restore from TB

6. From Settings--Apps--Manage Apps, check tab "On SD". Any apps having tick mark means it's stored on Sdcard (Fat Partition), move it to Phone (Ext partition)

my card reader is not able to detect the sd card which.i use in my mini...all of a sudden it hapen after i converted the ext3 to ext4..i checked with two sd card both concerted to ext 4 ....

to ensure that my card reader is working i cheked with 3rd sd card it is working well...

y the sd cards are not detected by computer after using it in mini???
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] denzel09:
No buddy, also my sdext is in ext4 and card reader detected it well. Probably is not conversion the cause of problem
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] loveablekrish:
i formated my sd with CWM 5 ...

now it is detected as fat32 and ext3...

may be it is due to CWM it is converted back to ext3 but in computer it says disk is write protected ...

how to convert to r/w??

any idea??
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] denzel09:
No, i dont think that problem is caused by conversion, because also i could be same problem. It should be already like r/w

On which partition you can not write? primary in fat or on sdext?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] loveablekrish:
windows cannot detect ext so its abt fat i m nt able to write in fat partition in computer in mini it is working well...

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ghost0815:
Well for some reason it finally installed on my Galaxy Mini.

When I gave up, I reinstalled DXKPD (Asia) then when I woke up I tried again.

This time I installed CWM v4

Wiped data & cache & delvikcache

Installed 17112011 CM7 and after installation I deleted data & cache again.

Rebooted and finally I have CM7

The weird thing is that when I read the notes about this latest CM7 update was:

(Your device will boot up with latest cyanogen mod 7.1.0. Please, note that it will take some time (around 10-15 minutes) during first boot. If your phone doesn't boot even after 20 minutes try wiping your data in clockwork mod recovery and reboot again.)

But the installation and booting only took less than 2 minutes. So far everything is fine even after rebooting several times. Weird it says 10-15 during first boot but mine lasted less than 1 minute to boot the 1st time.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ghost0815:
I love the new UI, low memory comsumption and features of this latest CM7 but there are a few things that I would love to get back:

1) Market (Wont work on this CM7)

2) Google Accounts (It wont connect)

3) Wifi Notifications (Wont appear when detecting WIFI) & slow to detect.

4) Google Maps (Location wont show since google account can be added)

5) Group Contacts (Group Contacts is no longer shown)

6) APNs wont send to my phone (GPRS settings)

Has anyone else here had these problems? I really want market back. I hate of having the hassle of downloading apk's for apps that I need since majority of sites for apk's direct me to market site and since I cant add my account, any apps I want from market wont download to my phone.

As for group contacts, its so much easier when I send a group text if group was available on this CM7 instead of always selecting contacts to add.

Is there any way I can get all of these again with this latest CM7?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] denzel09:
