[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mvale085:
So I don't know much about routers but I was able to switch it to G and I set the channel lower channel and it seemed to fix my Bluetooth/Wi-Fi problems slightly, instead of the signal completely being cut off now it only drops down about a bar allowing me to use some of my Bluetooth devices. I suggest anyone who was reluctant to try this and is having Bluetooth issues to do so until a fix is out. Thanks op! Also are there any downsides to having these settings on for example causing some devices not to work?

Rooted Prime questions

Does clockwork mod work after root...I tried it and it asked me what device I was on and the prime was not on this list...

second question...can i overclock past 1.6Ghz?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
second question: at the moment, no. not till developers find a way to do it stock or custom kernel/rom is made once bootloader unlocking tool arrives. Prime could easily be overclocked higher though, maybe into 2Ghz or a lil more.

if it matters im about 30ft from router. its in the other room with 2 thin walls between us.

thank you for this find. Makes me hopeful for a software fix from Asus!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hab1:
I've tried wireless n/g and get no significant improvements.

I can say that I get very similar results as above and even worse. at max range from the router in my house (40ft or so), my Prime will eventually drop to 2Mbps while the iPad next to it is still pulling 16Mbps.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrHadrov:
Hey guys. I want to go ahead and start the process of rooting my HTC Wildfire, but the problem is, the current Revolutionary build supports only the 1.01.0001 HBOOT version. Mine is (you guessed it) 1.01.0002.

Luckily, HTCDev.com has finally launched their Bootloader unlock process that seems to be considerably easier than using GoldCard (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1145035).

Problem is, when I get down to the RUU download list on the first page of instructions, my carrier isn't there (I currently live in Malaysia and use Maxis). There is, however, an HTC WWE RUU at the bottom available for download.

A little help guys, cause I'm VERY new to this all and would REALLY love some help on what to do.

I just want to see if there's a simpler and less-likely-to-get-your-phone-bricked alternative to the Gold Card method.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
Yep understood. Well I just wanted to make sure to know that other method (or not). There will be a bit of risk left with all methods to root, s-off, debrand or flash a device - so the only helpful thing might be experiences of others...

That's a point where I probably could be of some help: people unlikely will come back with success stories, most likely they will post errors and problems- so here is my report: I haven't had any issues, problems, hassle with the gold card method (the thread you were pointing to) and I am not a developer, programmer or other kind of a "pro" plus this has been my first experience with rooting a phone.

what I should mention: I've been in the same dilemma: that gold card method did sound complicated and the reports feared me a bit, too ;-)

There's one thing I'd suggest either way: I did follow the instructions carefully - step-by-step, after reading them carefully - twice at least and I've kept an eye on all warnings.

Regarding the other method: if I would have to choose between the two methods I most likely would do the gold card method again. Because it worked for me - sure - but after reading the respective threads, e.g. this one I would feel more safe to do it the hard way ;-)

Regarding your question which thread I meant: yes, this mainly has been the source I tried to follow. But as I mentioned before I did read a lot (also in German...) and tried to collect the useful stuff and kinda sorted it later - prepared all hints for troubleshooting etc.

It's always a good idea to do so. If you have any serious doubts they most likely come from missing knowledge - so best idea: read even more ;-)
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
Tested and working on HC321 and ICS403

In this tutorial I will discribe a way to ‘upgrade’ your internal 16GB memory to 32GB, not by soldering a new memory module to the internals of the device but by the means of a ‘softmod’. This method involves changing some system files and is completly done through CWM and is totally reversable. This is the second version of the softmod and is much safer than the first one.

Someone mentioned another thread in the A100 section, and asked me if my way was the same as that one. I checked it out and seemed that all the system changes were done through scripting. The thread author had actually used the recovery killer script that Acer loads at every boot to our advantage. He wrote a damm nice script for doing the right mounts and unmounts at boottime.

The original thread can be found here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20907592

Anyway, I have adapted that script a bit so it can be flashed through CWM, added my own script to it which loads your internal SD in ‘mnt/internal_sd’ and added a modified ‘vold.fstab’ file for removing the ‘detach button’ from the storage info page.

CONS :

-if you use a slow 32GB micoSD card you might experience some speed loss

-by doing this mod, as it involves changing system files, there is always the possibility of ending up with a bricked device, you fully agree to the fact that when your device gets bricked in the process, you and only you are responsible for that !

PROS :

-you will have upgraded your internal memory capacity to 32GB

-you now have high speed access to this 'new 32GB internal' sdcard if inserted in a computer for backups or filling the card up with pictures, music, movies, documents, gamefiles, etc..

-CWM is not affected by this softmod. As a mather of fact if you select the option 'switch to internal storage' in CWM you can actually make use of your internal GB’s for storing CWM FULL backups of your device.

NEEDED :

-32GB sdcard

-CWM must be installed on your tablet

HOW IT'S DONE :

-format the 32GB sdcard to fat32 on your computer

-insert the newly formatted sdcard in your tablet

-reboot or start your tablet in CWM

-flash the ‘CWM - ROMUPDATER [sdsoftmod enable].zip’ through CWM

-reboot

illustration 1

after reboot your storage info should look like this :

REVERSING THE PROCESS :

-reboot or start your tablet in CWM

-flash the ‘CWM - ROMUPDATER [sdsoftmod disable].zip’ through CWM

-reboot

After rebooting you are back where you were before this mod, with all your files still on the 16GB internal memory. (as they were before this mod)

If you like the mod and want to keep using it, you might wanna transfer all your old folders and files from the ‘/mnt/internal_sd’ to the new ‘/mnt/sdcard’

FINAL WORD :

-Its best not to remove the 32GB sdcard for backup purposes or whatever when the tablet is running. I advise to shutdown the tablet first, then removing the sdcard, do your stuf, reinsert in the tablet en only then fire the tablet up.

Good luck !

[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
just a question, how will the cw recovery act. since it will before boot will the recovery just look for the actual sdcard?
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
CWM stays unaffected, even more so, you can now use the 'lost' gigs on the internal 16gig for storing your CWM full backups. More info on this in the first post.
[Acer Iconia A500] ruud:
Is this only for 32 GB Sd card ore als for 16, 8 GB

Is this much faster then normal use of the sd card
[Acer Iconia A500] ruud:
Oeps, i see its not smart to go from 16 internal to less.
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
This method can be used with SD cards of any size, only when your internal memory is 16GB I wouldn't see why you would swap that with a 8GB external SD card, or a SD card of the same size. There's nothing to gain. When you do this mod on the other hand with a 32GB or a 64GB SD card you gain space.

Look at it as if you bought the cheaper 16GB model and upgrade it to a 32GB or a 64GB model, not by soldering in another memory module but the easy way with this softmod.

As for the speed it will be limited by the speed of the SD card. This may vary from SD to SD, faster SDs tend to be more expensive. The card I have used is slightly slower then the internal memory, but it is not an issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] jaksau:
Hi, is this the same a100 mod with apply on boot? Or have you made some new changes to it. My only concern was the OS might create some file/directories in internal memory before your mod executes.

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
I don't know about the 'apply on boot' mod, this is just a tuto I composed from scratch based on my findings when doing this to my own tablet.

If you want to go in detail about what happens : all of the stuff is done @ boot time, and because its based on setting a mount point, that would be done before the os starts writing stuff down. As for the affected partitions by doing this mod, it only affects the '/data/media' partition wich is mounted by default in 'mnt/sdcard'. This mod just disables the system from doing that and instead mounts your complete external SD to that mount point. After the mod the old files are stille accesable by browsing with your root explorer to /data/media.

Btw : I wouldn't recommend doing this mod on any other device than the A500/G100W as the program that does all the work, was specificly written FOR the A500/G100W !

any way to get this working with ICS? mount at boot doesn't seem to be working
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
I don't have ics, so i can't realy test that. I think that the mount (read swap) is done at login time, thats when you see the superuser has granted acces message. Then again android could be supressing these messages until userlogin. Who will tell?
[Acer Iconia A500] Somairotevoli:
I'm just mounting manually at boot before the internal sdcard script runs. Working great! Only issue is storage crashes in settings. Must be an ics issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:

[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
I dont know for sure as mine is the 16GB model, but if its Iconia A500 or Packardbell G100W, it should work without a glitch. I would say, test it out and if it does Ill add 8GB to the thread title.
[Acer Iconia A500] todds67:
I have an 8GB A500 that is running Thor ROM vs12 and when I tried flashing the zip file it aborted the installation. Do you know if I needed to wipe the system before installing?
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
Thats odd. An abort during flash sounds like your recovery is not able to execute the commands during flash. You could have a number of problems there. What recovery version are you using (here it's thor v1.6), also is the downloaded zip in a good condition?
[Acer Iconia A500] Somairotevoli:
you need to extract the zip. It includes two zips. The mod and the revert.
[Acer Iconia A500] eweo911:
So if I'm reading this correctly, you use a 32Gb card in your sd slot and apply the script to make the A500 think you have 32Gb of internal storage but then you lose access to your original 16Gb storage? So instead of 48Gb, you now have 32Gb.

I don't really see the advantage in that. Am I missing something?

Your title says "swap" but I do not see the original internal 16Gb listed as sdcard storage in your memory usage screenshot. It sounds like that was the intended point but I'm not seeing it.

No offense intended.
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
Euhms, it does gets swaped, you only don't see this space in my screenshot because that 2nd section represents an External SDcard, and as this script loads your external SDcard in the mnt/sdcard mountpoint, the system thinks there is none inserted.

The internal 16GB is then loaded in a new mountpoint, mnt/internal_sd (which makes more sense then loading into mnt/external_sd).

So what you gain is 32GB mounted now in mnt/sdcard (before it was 12GB, the other 4 are for the system) and a new mount called internal_sd with 12GB of free (if you del your old files there) space (the former mnt/sdcard)

Oh and you will need a root explorer for writing in that internal_sd mount.

Lets give an example :

- you buy sygic navigator from the market, you download all the europe maps from their servers, these maps get saved on the mnt/sdcard and are +- 4GB in total. 12-4 = 8GB left

- you buy 10 gameloft games that are compatible with tegra2, al of these games save their data in mnt/sdcard and are +- 1GB / game.

so 8-10 = -2GB short

get it?
[Acer Iconia A500] eweo911:
:D Got it, sounds better now. lol
[Acer Iconia A500] atmaxbc:
Fyi, This works flawlessly on the A200 ICS as well.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Very interesting and nice. Thanks.

Have a question though. After installing this mod, what happens if you go to recovery and wipe data. Generally, it wipes all of data but skips /data/media. I'm assuming /data is still mapped to mmcblk0p8. And, then, is a folder in there is used for a mount point to /mnt/internal_sd? Will a data wipe, wipe out that?

Edit: After looking at the script, I see that /data/media is a symlink to /mnt/internal_sd. But when booted into recovery, /data/media is still pointing to your internal sdcard as mounted by vold device. Thus safe from data wipe. Am I right? :)

Sounds like a great mod if you need that much internal app space.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
you won't see it in the internal in settings but it will be there, you will have to use a fully manager to see anything on your internal memory.

It can be very useful if you lead up a couple of games that have extra stuff to download you can have the extra space to hold it
[Acer Iconia A500] Rogue Leader:
Sorry to dig this up from the dead but 2 questions here.

1) has anyone successfully used this on an A500 with ICS

2) Same deal but an 8GB A500?

Someone mentioned settings crashing, I am wondering if that issue remains on ICS?
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
There were no settings crashing, at least not on my system. Still use the mod on ics without any glitch. One thing though, you will need full root to acces your internal sdcard. And in settings in data usage the internal sdcard will escape under the radar.
[Acer Iconia A500] bibi_50:
Hello.

Just one question before testing this great mod:

After having done this 'swap', Do I need to copy /data/media from original sdcard to the 'external-sd' ( to find the actually 'masked' - 'rerouted' data?)

Or is this done automatically?
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
1. when you do factory reset after this mod, all of the folders needed (download, dcm, etc ) will be made automaticly on your external sd wich is now called sdcard. you will also lose all the programs you had installed in the process.

2. to have access to your old files and folders on the internal sdcard, you will need to have full root and with some sort of root explorer set permissions to read and write for all users.

3. then you can copy them over to your external sdcard, that way you do not have to do a factory reset to have te folders made.

4. once all is copied over, you can delete everything on the internal sdcard and use it to store your backups you make with your recovery or whatever.
[Acer Iconia A500] bibi_50:
Thanks.

Another one:

If

1° I do a full backup in CWM,

2° I apply the 'swap'

Can I do a restore data ? is it working this way?

or there is another simple way to recover all installed applications after the Swap?

(i have full root access , of course , and use root explorer )

Sorry for dumb questions, I am not an expert ...
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
you wont lose your programs after swap, only if you do factory reset.

i mentioned factory reset for automaticly making all the folders on your sdcard.

if you dont do a factory reset thats ok, but you have to copy the files from internal sdcard to external sdcard manually. (after swap that would be from internal_sdcard to sdcard)
[Acer Iconia A500] bibi_50:
Ok, it's perfect clear !:D

EDIT:

:)

It worked well, WITH SwitchMe activated! (and I tested swith back and forth from 'default' partition to an 'empty' one created for this test...)

(I didn't make any factory reset )

I am now copying some datas ( Copilot maps and config ) from mnt/internal_sd to mnt/sdcard when needed ( only for some config files, not for all tools...)

I needed also changing default backup directories for TB pro and AppMonster to go to the correct directory .

And FYI, this was done with a 64 GB microSD (formated FAT32)

so I have more than 59 GB on mnt/sdcard now!

Thanks again

:D
[Acer Iconia A500] bibi_50:
Ok, now, If I want to flash another new ROM version via CWM,

(I am on FlexReaper extreme, ICS bootloader V6)

can I do it as usual without reversing the 'swap' OR MUST I make a 'reverse swap' BEFORE ?

Is the Swap overwritten by a ROM flash?

What about a Full backup with CWM? Where is it stored now?

( again, sorry if these questions seems trivial for you ! )
[Acer Iconia A500] gersma:
Again CWM doesnt care about the swap, so if you backup somthing on the internals it will be on the internal memory.

Flashing a new rom = swap is gone

you need to perform new swap after rom flash.

Have fun ...

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

You have to make sure,you have the unlocked ICS bootloader v5 or above and CWM installed,take a suggested class 10 and unmount your old one in settings and put the new 32GB in,boot into CWM and go to mount/format the mnt/ext sd card,then install this mod.Make sure to back up the old one first.

---------- Post added at 11:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

As stated in the OP,it only works on ICS,not JB yet.So theres no reason to install this if your on JB.

Edit:I did notice when you wipe everything to install another rom,you wipe the mod also,then on the new rom,you will need to reflash it.Doesnt seem to show up in settings/apps/space.

(after installing ICS roms the welcome screen isnt appears like new rom )

and the phone dosnt have slide or any kind of unlocking method (i tried to change to FC, pattern or key but no changes at all)

but when i using stable 2.3.5 its doing fine

any hope to fix this problem guys??
