How to partition a SD-Card and how to work with Link2SD + Swap

Using this you can add more apps to your phone and keep a lot of internal memory free

[[GUIDE] Increase RAM using Swap File and Swap Partition] -> it has a text guide for Minitool partition wizard

~Values for the partitions: (as allways, its your choice to increase or decrease those values)

Swap - Max 64mb (initially i had 256mb (too much). even at 128mb and 100% swapiness, it was much. so i tested with 64mb and got the perfect partition size for swap, leaving a couple of free mb if wanted to increase swapiness)

SD-Ext - depends on the size of your sdcard and if you install lots of apps and want to link them so, minimum - 128mb

The rest is for sdcard data

Remember to backup your sdcard before partition it

After flashing the rom, you'll need to calibrate battery.

use the batterycalibration app or the built-in app in CM settings to calibrate battery.

let the phone charge to 100%, wait 10-15 min, open batterycalibration, the battery values should be around 4120 and 4167mv, press battery calibration (do not unplug the phone yet). shutdown the phone, let it stay in charging mode for 5 min. reboot, check the new battery values at batterycalibration (the new ones should be between 4170 and 4270mv), let it sit there for another 5 min and, finally unplug the phone.

-> sometimes after doing the calibration, the battery 1st charge drains in a few (between 8 and 16) hours, but its normal. <-

even it drains the 1st charge, dont worry about doing a 2nd battery calibration. just do a normal charging, after one or two charging/draining cycles the battery will work properly.

keyboard files for other languages

tuono in Adrenalin's thread made several keyboard installers, they work in Vicky's too, they are on the 1st page, 1st post.

u just need to download it, place it at ur sdcard, reboot to recovery, choose "install zip from sdcard", select the language file, after finish, fix permissions and reboot.

GPS settings

the actual gps settings are for europe.

if u are from outside that area or u want a more specific area, u can use the fasterfix app. on its menu there are some gps servers and a custom option. by selecting it, u can write the one gps server u want (if it wasnt on the list). basically, it is just writing down the country abrv.

(france is fr, united kingdom is uk, etc) before the gps server adress.

something like this

uk.pool.ntp.org

for more info, visit http://www.pool.ntp.org/

using gps status app (its on google store), u can see if ur internal gps hardware is working and ur actual location

Note: u8300 huawei's gps was made to be an online gps (a gps assisted by internet), meaning, for it to work with google maps, ndrives and others, it needs to be connected to the internet to work properly (unless u use an off-line gps app that saves the maps in the sdcard and uses the tracking system to navigate, there are a few in google store and they work great without internet)

Important

for the ones that dont like being at the spotlight :D

(just kidding)

the beats audio boot sound was supposed to delete itself after that 1st boot but apparently busybox (i think?!) cant remove it while the phone is booting

use some root explorer app and delete this file (android_audio.mp3) from this folder "system/media/audio/ui"

or replace it with the sound u like. (needs to be renamed android_audio.mp3) <- i did that and some guys hate my guts :p

or if u are a windows user, go google (lol :cool: ) and search for android commander, or go to the creator thread here in xda, its a very usefull tool and u can use it to delete that file and to do other stuff with ur phone. there is also a linux version but i think its a dead issue, but if anyone want a peek, go see it

TouchSceen Calibration

if the display miscalibrates it self by bad calibration input or other stuff, go to recovery and use the TSReset to reset touchscreen calibration

the rom has some TS values by default, that allows you to go to the screen calibrator and calibrate again without any problems and with more accuracy. this way the old bad calibration input wont interfere with the new one
