Hi owain94,

I' ve been thinking to change the partition size in old gb rom first .. but all the resizing i've done will be changed again by ics partition size right ?

Is it possible to change the partition size for ics nvflash rom right ?

My aim is to nvflash leak ics v28g from stefan, but with custom partition size (i want to increase system and data partition). The partition layout is still default to ics though..only change the size

Thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

Yes you're right that ics have different layout. I wont touch the layout..only its size. Especially system and data size. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] trocopassu:
But you can resize partition and install ICS ROM...like me!

What I did was install via nvflash, ROM v10b, with the changed partition, and then install, via CWM, ICS ROM ... any of them! ...
[LG Optimus 2x] bekaman:
I see...so after partition resizing you install ics via cwm right ? That way there wont be any changes to partition layout, only size.

But if i'm not mistaken you will be installing it in an old gb bootloader and not new ics bootloader right?

I plan to use the new ics bootloader also with ics partition layout, but only with custom size.

I'm sure that the only cfg file in the extracted ics v28G is the correct file to edit...problem is i'm not sure which partition id is to edit
[LG Optimus 2x] trocopassu:
Correct.

I've tried changing the partitions with the new ICS system partitions, regulating me the old system, but it did not.

Look at the image of the partitions to change and the difference between one and the other!

...Opsssss! Unfortunately I was wrong on the partition ID = 18 [GB] that corresponds to ID = 21 [ICS] ... I think?? ...

Have you changed the picture ... I apologize for the mistake.

Damn! ... I must have been asleep when I did this ...

The system partition ID = 6 [GB] corresponds to ID = 23 [ICS]! ...

Now yes, that's right ... I'll make the change now and post the result.

Once again I apologize, but lack of time and haste are enemies of perfection!
[LG Optimus 2x] bekaman:
Thanks for this valuable table man :)

Will experiment with this as soon as i got home.

Maybe its just me, but since using stock ics i never experience bsod. For stock gb and cm10 i always got bsod (especially when min freq <300Mhz).

I dont know if this bootloader related or not. What left now is resizing the partition a bit bigger :D

Thanks again mate
[LG Optimus 2x] owain94:
Thanks for your research man!

Is it cool with you if I post the picture in the original post with credits to you of course!
[LG Optimus 2x] trocopassu:
Sure!

You have my full permission to do so.
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
flash cm7 it will change your size partition. because cm used ext4. and v10b is stock used ext3
[LG Optimus 2x] namanverdu:
Is it possible to install V30a with this increased partition size? I never did resize partitions on my phone and don't wanna break it. I tried searching the forums, but can't really be sure if it's possible or not. I'm just a rom flasher, not an expert or anything.

Maybe someone can make a NVFlash V30a rom from Topogigi with this new partition size + CWM and SU? If it's possible. So i can just NVFlash it all-in-1

Thanks

Use the AIO toolkit nvflash ICS layout with the attached cfg I made based on this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34832789&postcount=10 then you'll have 744 mb system partition.

Reboot into recovery and install from EXTERNAL sd card Topogigi V30A cwm flashable zip (if it doesn't boot flash the SP2 kernel I always flash it)

Now you have enough space to install offline Google Now for ICS from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
[LG Optimus 2x] yukkio:
Does anyone have a cfg for 1gb size of the data partition? I want 512mb more for system partition.

Thanks.

BR.
[LG Optimus 2x] punyategar:
Everything is in byte. So if you're from mega byte, you multiply the number twice, as in, 512 mB x 1024^2.

So with 1 gB is to multiply it 3 times, as in, 1gB x 1024^3.

Change it yourself.
[LG Optimus 2x] baliriot:
you can copy the suggested /cache value in 1st post for your system partition size, it is 1gb :)

Resizing partition-nvflash fail

Just a noob quesstion..!! 2 months ago, i have s/w bricked and recovered with modaco nvflash. ( not a new nvflash user)

Now when My favourite ROM Django somes in ICS partition, i am unable to nvflash.

Drivers are not detected(with exclamation on it or sometimes not detected at all), tried with new usb cable, in diff usb ports and versions of usb drivers/nvflash drivers.. (nothing worked :( )

My partition is as below, can i flash ICS partition rom's on my GB partition layout, (i can sacrifice some system/user apps for converting), will it even flash or brick the phone ?

or is there any other way to change the partition layout(apart from nvflash) ?

My partition layout as below:

Cache- 61MB (61mb free)

Data- 1.5GB (1.3gb free)

System-338 MB ( 73mb free)

Any help would make me happy :o
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
have you tried the AllinOneTool kit by spyrosk? it works very well....

try it out mate
[LG Optimus 2x] vsnstarguy:
Tried Allintoolkit anf other nvflash

Good to see you my friend .. Sreeprajay. :)

Tried Allinone-toolkit also mate and now on your suggestion, tried many times but no luck..!!

Always ended up in exclamation mark..(that too have to insert cable in mother board usb port (unkown device) and then in other port(nividia with exclamation mark). :(

Will try in other systems - nvflash for ics partition, i think thats my last choice for ICS partition..

Missing Django's'latest ICS ROM :( but still in 1.5RC4 :o
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
win xp? win 7? which one? remember someone mentioning about win8 and not working drivers or something like that...

what about the drivers?

have you also tried Homero's clean flash V20s GB or ICS by NVFlash with his drivers and opti-tool?
[LG Optimus 2x] spyrosk:
I just added instructions to easy install APX drivers in OP of AIO toolkit

I have tested these in all windows versions. If you still cannot update drivers then re-installl windows.

Try and report back.

Good luck.

BTW you can always change partition layout to ICS with smartflash or LG Tool but you'll not have cwm and unlocked bootloader to flash any other custom one. NVFlash is ONE-WAY
[LG Optimus 2x] SuperSkill:
Don't forget that this kind of issue often makes us try to reinstall drivers(several times too often) which ends up in doing a mistake and then have the same driver installed, but at two different locations or for two different things and windows gets confused :) often its just a minimal mistake ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] vsnstarguy:
nvflash worked after changing USB cable

I tried changing in other lapotp but didn't work and at last tried to give a last chance with other usb cable (like last time).

And :victory: it worked flawlessly without any effort. nvflash'd to new ICS partition Layout via Allintoolkit.. Thanks spyrosk, great tool .. :)

system - 495 MB

Cache- 61 MB

Data-1.45 GB (and other partitions)

Like last time, my friends Sreeprajay and Superskill came forward to help me (as always) ..Thanks guys :)

I am on My fav - DjangoManouche X 1.1 :fingers-crossed:
[LG Optimus 2x] vsnstarguy:
partitioning size question

Also would need to know whats the recommended size for partition for ICS based partition?

My partition is as below :

system - 495 MB (67 mb free)

Cache- 61 MB (61 mb free)

Data-1.45 GB(1.2 gb free )

I am on DjangoManouche X 1.1 -native settings, removed few sys apps and installed some root apps.

Facing few app crashes/hang state, would thought if increasing the cache/system size could help this ? ( or try overclock)

Now Allintoolkit comes with partitioning options by user, can i modify to below settings?

/system (512 MB)

/cache (1 GB)

/data (1.85 GB)
[LG Optimus 2x] spyrosk:
I am glad the tool helped you.

System is by default 512MB raw.When formatted maybe it seems smaller, like df command shows it 496MB.

Titanium backup, on the other hand, shows it as 519MB.

There are no recommended sizes (or recommended sizes are the stock ones) and I don't think resizing would affect these problems.

You will just waste a lot of space.

/cache partition would make a difference maybe (because of its role) but as you see it is empty so giving it a whole 1GB would reduce your internal sd-card dramatically and for no reason.

@Everyone, a piece of advice. Use re-sizing with caution. You must be sure why you are doing it.
[LG Optimus 2x] vsnstarguy:
partitioning size

Yes through Titanium backup, it is showing 'system' partition as 519 MB.

Through Freespace app it is showing as 495 MB. ( 105 MB free)

For now, i am going with default sizes as per AIO kit, works good .. Thanks :o
[LG Optimus 2x] smg72523889:
check if i understand the correct way:

ics-partitioning: i want 768MB system, 128 MB cache

so i edit in cfg:

[partition]

name=APP

id=23

type=data

allocation_policy=sequential

filesystem_type=ext3

size=536870912 ==> edit to 805306368

[partition]

name=CAC

id=7

type=data

allocation_policy=sequential

filesystem_type=ext3

size=66584576 ==> edit to 134217728

and finally have to change:

[partition]

name=UDB

id=21

type=data

allocation_policy=sequential

filesystem_type=ext3

size=4983881728 ==> change to size=0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

is that correct?
[LG Optimus 2x] spyrosk:
No. this 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF value is for GB layout. ICS layout has more partitions after UDB and with this value will not be created. Partitions are created with their partition-id number order.

Read this

and do it manually or

you can use the gui application, I made to easily re-size partions, included in AIO-Toolkit

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmxpowa:
first of all i have an I9000 and my only problem so far with these ICS builds is that sometimes my audio (mp3 playback, poweramp) gets re-routed to the speaker or the sound stutters. everytime i get a notification especially from gmail / market (when it updates my apps) this thing occurs.

i had to disable the notification sound in settings to prevent this issue occuring.

btw im using the latest CM9 nightly (did a full wipe) is this a known issue? or is there any fix for this?

HALP
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
The best place to ask this is the CM9 nightly thread here.

The reason for this is because its a very specific problem and the fact that it is a nightly so all bugs should be reported there or on their official website so they know about it... The sooner someone on the CM9 team knows about it the sooner a fix will be implemented and a new nightly will be released..

If you would like a more stable rom then its not a good idea to choose a nightly. Choose one of the other custom roms in the android development section. Read the threads the first few and last 5 pages so you are aware of current bugs and possible fixes. Also use the search in the individual thread. If you have a question and you cannot find an answer via search or reading then make a post (If it is very rom specific then within the rom thread)

hi every one

i bought a sgs2 from ebay last week , but somthing wrong with the phone

i can not mske any call or receive calls , and after along search in the net i think that the imei code is blocked.

that means :

1. the phone is stolen

or

2. The owner of the phone said to the company that his phone is stole in order tom cell the old one and they will give him a new one ...

what can i do ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
You did enter a sim card correct? Have you tried another sim card?

If the phone is stolen, contact the seller on ebay about it first. You should be able to get your money back as long as you return the phone. Otherwise, you just have a expensive paper weight.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F.M.K:
you mean that is no way to change the imei .

i've lost the phone .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F.M.K:
changing the firmware = changing the imei ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
NO, absolutely not.

IMEI is unique to one specific phone. It is, in fact, illegal for a consumer to change a device IMEI.

So based on your gross mis-interpretation here, you should really go back and try to re-evaluate the conclusions you came to in post #1, and start with the question "why can you not make or receive calls?"

EDIT to add: Did it occur to you that the phone may be SIM locked to a network that isn't yours?

There are far more than only three possible providers that the phone could be locked to.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
Unfortunately asking or receiving help from anybody on this forum about doing illegal activity like changing the imei can get you and the person helping you banned from this site as per forum rules.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Descore:
If the phone is SIM locked to a different network than the SIM currently inserted, it will come up with a prompt for the unlock code when it boots. The symptom of a SIM lock is not that it won't register on a network.

If the phone is indeed SIM locked it can be fixed by following this guide.

It is also possible to change the IMEI although this is much more difficult and may be illegal in some jurisdictions. There is a range of "TEST" IMEI numbers that mobile phone manufacturers use, these are generally safe to use and work on most networks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
For the icon name to change to the song you are playing I think you will need a widget.

For the text in the notification shade I think that is a global theme setting. Probably in a XML file somewhere to choose the text color of notification items. Maybe the theme section would be best for that. I know enough to change icons (like the signal, battery, toggles etc), but not text colors. The play and pause buttons in the notification shade are in one of three places in GB, but they might have changed in ICS. Look for systemui.apk, framework-Res.apk, and twframework-res.apk.

[HTC One X] wintermute000:
anyone got weird intermittent wireless issues?

Every now on then, and then seemingly only on some apps, wireless network connectivity will come to a crawl and / or seemingly stop completely. Apps time out etc. but I know the network is fine as my flatmate's galaxy nexus / my laptop remain fine. The most common culprit is the play store. I turn off wireless and go on HSPA, wait a while, go back to wireless, all good.

Also, once I had to kill chrome beta to fix it.

What gives?
[HTC One X] mattyl:
I am having some minor wifi issues too, but i think they are slightly different from wintermute's problem.

Both my wifes and my One X won't reconnect to our wifi after returning to the house. The only way I have been able to get them to re-connect is to reboot the router.

The One X's try to reconnect appear to, then instantly disconnect and just keep cycling. Turning the wifi off and on doesn't seem to help.

Our Asus transformer and the laptop don't seem to have any issues if taken out of wifi range and then moved back in.
[HTC One X] MarioUK:
Hi there's a few forum posts about this. A number of us has had this issue...the One X would not have good WiFi speeds, or would completely stop whereas all other WiFi enabled devices on the same network at the same time would be fine. A reboot of the router seems to fix this for most of us. Doesn't quite make sense why the One X would be affected by a wifi issue but not other devices, but seems to do the trick for most people. Its been 7 days now since I had my One X, and since rebooting the router, the wifi issues have not returned.
[HTC One X] wintermute000:
I'm a cisco tech in real life and trust me its not my wireless setup... proof is that all other droids work fine (my old nexus, atrix my flatmate's galaxy nexus etc.) unless there is some super esoteric setting that the HTC one requires

having said that I have rebooted my WAP a couple of times (in addition to tweaking my router a bit re: IOS firewall, some tcp-mss tweaks I was using etc.) and it does seem better. Still at a loss to understand why no other device has any issues except for this
[HTC One X] tom.hill:
I'm seeing wifi drop and reconnect all the time on my One X.

Signal strength isn't an issue, I'm sat 3m from the AP however their are lots of wifi networks in this building so could be an issue with interference...

I see the same issues at the office but again their are lots of wifi networks at that location too...

Hi there,

I had a problem with my HOX and my German Fritzbox Router...it would connect, but then not letting any data through...and then even disable the whole WiFi signal so that my laptop, ps3 and Samsung Tab did not get a connection anymore...reset of the Fritzbox was necessary....loads of HOX user reported the issue in a German forum, and one suggested to set the WLAN signal from b+g+n 2.4 to only b+g 2.4 and voila....problem has disappeared...price is that connex max at 54 Mbits now...but I can live with that...try it...maybe it solves some people's WiFi issues...until someone or HTC themselves figure out a working solution with a full wireless n support...
