All Kaiser owners complain at one time or another about size limitations to the /data partition.

I had asked around about increasing the /data partition to a maximum, keeping the /system partition to a bare minimum.

Well, I figured out a way to maximize your /data partition and still give the /system partition some "wiggle room".

The size of your "androidinstall.tar" file is the key here.

Depending on how it is constructed, you can easily figure out how much room you'll need for the /system partition in one of two ways.

1. Build your kernel with ATools as usual. Give it "normal" settings for now because you'll be changing and installing the kernel once more. Install your build and let it finish. Once it does, open up "Terminal Emulator", usually found as part of the "Dev Tools" app.

In Terminal Emulator you'll need to type "df -h" without the quotes. This detects the filesystem partitions and gives it a "human" number, hence the argument "-h".

You are looking for "dev/block/mtdblock2" and the numbers following.

If you are using the "system_froyo_us_odex" file from SF, then your mtdblock2 "should" read 90.7MB. Other builds are larger or smaller, this is why we're looking at mtdblock2.

You will also notice mtdblock3... this is your /data partition.

Once you have your numbers in MB, you can go back and build your kernel based on the size of your /system partition as installed on the phone, releasing as much room as possible for /data.

2. Going back to the "androidinstall.tar" file, most recently Devs have been combining the "app" folder inside the system folder. In the past, the data folder was separate from the system folder and gave the install a "bloated" size, appearing larger than what actually ends up in the mtdblock2 partition.

Most of these builds are built this way, with a few exceptions.

"Packed" size of "system_froyo_us_odex" comes out to around 87MB as a .tar file, relatively close, but you can't be sure unless the file is unpacked to a new folder.

When I unpack mine, it comes out to 90.7MB.

See where this is going?

I go to ATools and build a kernel based on the actual size of the /system file, plus 1 or 2%. (wiggle room)

I build the kernel with 92MB /system and 10MB for /cache, giving me 112MB for /data.

As long and drawn out as it may seem, I strongly suggest option 1. This will give you the best judge of size vs. kernel build size and is a more accurate measurement.

I have gotten it smaller than that once I stripped KingShui's rom to the bare essentials, around 52mb.

I'm just trying to share my knowledge is all.

Olá amigo, já tentou mudar as permissōes? Tenta recolocar a oficial com root e rootexplorer e olha lá as permissões... Uma vez aconteceu o mesmo com meu U20i, daí mudei as permissões e consegui...

Ps.: além disso coloca dentro de uma pasta chamada apps (/system/apps ou coisa do tipo)

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matheusferreira:
Já tentei colocar o arquivo direto na pasta "app", mudei as permissões para todas as combinações possíveis, e nada. Rs.. Andei pesquisando e acho que o problema é que naquele tal "android manifest" ele determina o sdk target como 11 e o do ICS é o 15.. mas não consigo editar o xml.

Vou deixar o apk aqui, caso alguém consiga ajudar:

Haha.. eu ainda tenho 11 meses de garantia no meu.. minha tática: Se o aparelho deu problema, eu coloco a ROM original, e faço o gadget nem ligar mais, porque se chegar lá e não ligar, sabe como é a qualidade das assistências, né.. "Tem que trocar placa mãe" aí vai um mês de espera e eu pego outro novo. Rs...

O máximo que consegui segurar com a Rom do jeito que veio foram uns 10 dias.. depois disso já coloquei root, porque queria tirar print da tela e sem root até tinha como, mas era tanto trabalho que não tava disposto..

Não me arrependi. Agora coloquei o ICS do Team Rogue e tá melhor ainda. (Recomendo.) Só quero o gerenciador de arquivos da Motorola BR.. pq essas coisas feias de File Manager HD, Astro e tal não dá pra usar não..

Obrigado pelas respostas e vamos ver se algum tupiniquim resolve me ajudar..

vlw!

*english version*

Haha .. I still have 11 months warranty on my .. my tactic: If my gadget has problem, I put the original ROM, and make it dont start anymore, because getting there and not call, you know the quality of assistance, right .. "We have to replace motherboard" there's a month of waiting and I get a new one. Rs ...

The most I could handle with the original were the way they came about 10 days .. has since put root, because I wanted to print out the screen and not even had to root, but it was so much work I'm outta willing ..

I do not regret. Now put the ICS Team Rogue and he's even better. I just want the file manager of Motorola BR .. because such ugliness File Manager HD, Astro and such are useless

Thanks for the answers and see if some tupiniquim people help me solve the problem..

[Acer Iconia A500] merc669:
Purchased ROM Manager on Market Place. I also Downloaded Acer Recovery. I am unsure if ROM Manager works for the A500 since its requests what hardware you are using and A500 is not on there. Is there a selection that is good for the A500? Also will or does Acer Recovery do the same thing and baically just spent a few bucks donating to something that will or currently does not work for the A500? Thanks!

Bill....:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
Rom manager is not supported on the a500/501. If you have an android phone you can use it there. Acer recovery installer is free and works.
[Acer Iconia A500] merc669:
Okay...I thought so..Thanks Much!! Maybe in future it will be....

Bill
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Unfortunately, RomManager is designed for Phones (gingerbread and such). Will it run on HC? Well yes. But do not use it.

JRummys Toolbox also works on HC, and some of the features work on HC, but I would never use it to flash CWM or a Rom. But it has it's good points. Especially if you do not know the android system well.

Stay away from apps that were designed for phones. Different OS and different requirements. Even though they install.
[Acer Iconia A500] merc669:
Thanks Much... I have already downloaded Acer Recovery from Market and did the backups from there after using Timmy's method to root. And have also backed up to USB, and Cloud via Titanium Backup before progressing any further. Acer looks good and does bootup into ClockworkMod...

Bill....
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You the Man Bill...

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

Titanium Backup, technically, that's a gingerbread app for phones. I would be careful with it, if I were you.

Have you noticed, when Rom manger said it updated your Recovery (on phones) it really didn't? Same version. A bug they don't wish to fix or discuss.

On my Rom, if a user mentioned TB, I would say to go complain on a Gingerbread forum.

TB has joined the league with RomManager. Both old and behind the times. And they should both be put out to pasture.

My 2 cents worth.
[Acer Iconia A500] merc669:
Interesting since I have read here and other A500 forums is to look for the ClockworkBackup on the Android Market. If you search for it there it brings up ROM Manager along with Acer Backup. When I downloaded ROM Manager and saw it ask for various devices none of which is an Acer 500, I downloaded the Acer Recovery. Never went very far into ROM Manager. Did everything from Timmy's method and then ran the Acer Recovery solely. As far as TB, again read on forums. But in any case I have done a couple of backups using Acer and placed them in USB Stick and External SD for safekeeping. Learning a lot from all this and exercising as much caution as possible to get the most learning out of it. Many Thanks!!

[HTC Sensation] OzarKDAndroid:
Noob A la VISTA!! Long story SHORT HTC Sensation bought downloaded an application went to erase it thru a File Manager and def deleted a wrong folder cause after that HTC started rebooting non stop. Rooted the phone installed CWR thru revolutionary CM7 thinking it was a software problem booted the phone and when on FASTBOOT the phone starts scanning the sdk and reads:

SD loading

-PG58diag.zip

-PG58diag.nbh

-PG58IMG.zip

-.nbh

-.tar

-.aec

-.enc

and No image for each one of it.... is this the cause of the HTC keeps rebooting btw the screen reads:

Revolution

Pyramid PVT ShipS-off RL

HBoot- 1.17.1111

Radio- 10.14.9035.01_m

eMMC boot

so what should I do to fix therebooting issue and the no image file etc?? thanks for any help in advance!!!!
[HTC Sensation] corumuk:
Just a guess but you could try removing the microsd card from the phone and rebooting.
[HTC Sensation] OzarKDAndroid:
removed the card... rebooted... htc went into custom ROM... but now freezes up constantly and reboots... any way to fix this or should i start from the beginnign all over again from root??
[HTC Sensation] alphaze:
easiest thing to do would be to reinstall the rom. most roms don't wipe user data, so go into fastboot, choose recovery and re-install the rom from the sd card and wipe cache and dalvik cache.

that's really all you can do at this point. even if it does erase your phone data (not sd card data like photos, videos, etc), its better than not having a working phone.
[HTC Sensation] erhnamdjim:
You could try using one of the Super Wipe ROMs, and then reinstall the custom ROM that you want to use. Also, make sure that you've applied one of the 3.12 firmware images if you're trying to use one of the ICS custom ROMS
[HTC Sensation] OzarKDAndroid:
super wipe roms? i waas trying the cyanogen mode 7 for htc sensation... have clockwork recovery btw if the phone freezes up on CWR what typ of issue could it be?...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] golffreaksi:
I am having a real bad time getting a prime without any screen problem.

I have to date returned 5 primes due to the problem with the screen.

1st one had dead pixel and dust under the screen.

2nd one the same problem.

3rd one had dust and what looked like a scratch mark under the screen.

4th one had the same problem as the third one.

5th one had what looked like dust or scratch mark under the screen.

I am not sure how they do quality control at ASUS but this is really bad.

I am going to try one last time and if it also has the problem, I am just going to wait until new tablets come out in the 2nd quarter.

Am I the only one having this problem?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 2fastkuztoms:
People are still having problems to get one or found one in stock and you already gone thru 5, how is that possible?

definately you have faith in the prime, some many defective are bad luck. keep change them until you found the one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:

Hi everybody.

I need help with my HTC Desire.

I have been for several months using MIUI and I´m very happy with it.f

Last weekend I updated it to 2.1.13 and it was working well until today.

Today the mobile has run out of battery, and when restarting it, it will not finish booting. It gets stucked in the black screen with the MIUI logo. I have tried to restart it, take of battery for some time. Charge it off and try to start it again. I can boot to recovery mode, but doesn´t matter what I do, when I restart, it will not boot.

Can you somebody please help me?
