[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpraveen008:
Hi,

I am Praveen from India and i am a new beginner of android. I am trying connect a Creative USB web camera to my Samsung galaxy s2 mobile (GT-I9100) on Android ICS Build. So i downloaded the image I9100XXLP6_I9100OXXLP3_OXX and flashed my galaxy s2 mobile using odin 1.85 software. now my Galaxy s2 works fine with ICS build (kernel version - 3.0.15-I9100XXLP6-CP72050se.infra@SEP-53 #3, Ardroid version - 4.0.3).

Now i downloaded the samsung galaxy s2 source code GT-I9100_ICS_Opensource_Update4.zip from opensoure.samsung.com and cross compiler arm-eabi-4.4.3. Now i tried to do the make menuconfig to add the V4L, UVC and GSPCA drivers and given the make command to get the zimage <custom ICS kernel>. I got the custom zimage <kernel> of size 4.2MB size. flashed my Galaxy s2 with the my custom zimage using odin 1.85 software. Now Galaxy s2 boots with a kernel panic upload mode screen and galaxy s2 doesn't work.

So after goggling some forums i can across the initramfs <file system root> addition to the zimage. so i downloaded the Entropy512-initramfs_galaxys2_ics-0f388dc.zip, mozilla-b2g-initramfs-galaxy-s2-ics-11e8650, kgp700-exyroid-sgs2-ics-433a9c0 to build the initramfs.cpio using the command find . | cpio -H newc -o > ../initramfs.cpio and placed the the initramfs.cpio in the path /GT-I9100/usr folder and added the path in .config file and given the make command to build the zimage. now the zimage size is ~ 7.1 MB size. Again i flashed the zimage to galaxy s2, now Galaxy S2 mobile shows the kernel pain upload mode screen.

Now i am stuck up with bringing up the custom ICS kernel, So please help me to fix this issue and bring up the galaxy s2 mobile working with ICS custom Kernal image, so that i can try to connect my webcam.

Thanks,

Praveen

said method of linking to SD yields much more free system mem than any other moving to SD technique! also it has added advantages over others which u'll realise once u start using it

I have stuck at 2nd step of process.. I downloaded the PARTITION MAGIC whole file of nearly 25MB but could not do further things.. frustrated.. gave up.. :(

I could root my Chinese dual sim i9220 easily.. with help of SuperOneClick.. but doing this stuff found v difficult.. needless to say.. I am not good in tech things.. pls help.. thanks in advance..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sadhu_s60:
1st plugin SD in pc & then fire up MINITOOL

app will show the sd card with 1 partition

hi-light the partition & hit DELETE

UN PARTITIONED space will b created

hi-lite UNPARTITIONED space & hit create... make partitions as described

now hit the BIG GREEN "APPLY" button

....the app only does its job when u hit APPLY... if u dont hit APPLY, no changes will be made to... this is a security feature

thanks for the guide. i'm about to try it on my samsung xcover phone (android 2.3.6), which is already rooted. i take it that the factory reset will erase all the apps that didn't come with the phone, so what's the recommended way to backup the apps and restore them after link2SD? (Obviously I can just copy the contents of the old fat32 partition to the new fat32 partition, but I assume there's something more involved here).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sadhu_s60:
if u prefer to save apps rather than clean format method, theres method laid out for tat too.... read the whole post

restoring the contents of existing fat32 after format will NOT bring anything back.... its just garbage
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mr.Mefisto:
Thanks Sadhu for this! You are great man! You worked on this with developer or you are just an advanced user of this app? I will push the thanks button for this mate!!!

i tried partiioning my 16gb class 4 sd card both tru cwm partition option and mini partition tool on pc(the method u said here).but evrithing was fine upto partioning.but the partitioned ext2 is not mounting automatically.n i dnt know how to mount it manually.

any help????

galaxy Y is the mobile.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sadhu_s60:
tested working on galaxy Y & Y-Duos

wat EXACTLY do u mean by 2nd partition is NOT MOUNTING ???? i've made a reply below but it might not b the reply to yr question cause i didnt understand it

--------

r u sure u have ROOT ??? most probably u dont... so check tat first... then proceed as below....

--------

take out & plugin SD on PC & with monitool, verify....

1st partition is PRIMARY & FAT32

2nd partition is ALSO PRIMARY & ext2

then run link2sd -> choose partition type ext2 -> goto SETTINGS -> ....

1. native app2sd -> INTERNAL

2. RELINK lib/dex + fastscrool -> CHECK

reboot & run link2sd.... if it doesnt ask partition type again, its all fine
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pajenn:
i decided to do a clean upgrade and to reinstall apps. seems to be working fine; link2sd recognized the ext2 partition, shows the app linked to sd message when i install new apps and so forth. however, system memory still appears around 100 MB (as opposed to 2 GB, which is the size of my ext2 partition on the sd card). when i install something, for example, adobe flash player (5 MB), it take takes that out of system memory or shows that system memory has gone from 100 MB to 95 MB. however, the memory returns back to 100 MB after reboot (maybe cache refresh issue) once link2sd has loaded and been (automatically) granted superuser access. i then installed a bunch of new apk files and system memory went down to 85 MB (after reboot), so it seems that link2sd is not able to link quite everything, but hopefully it works well enough that i won't experience space problems again.

again, thank for the guide.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sadhu_s60:
system does NOT count/recognise the 2nd partition.... it'll always show original space left... use the link2sd app to see diff STORAGE INFO... as mentioned in post

for system to refresh memory info, it needs a reboot... i've already mentioned tat

~~~~~~~~~~~

make sure tat in link2sd setting .... NATIVE APP2SD SETTINGS -> INTERNAL

still some apps might NOT get auto linked in SOME FONES... theres solution for tat too...

(no such issue in motorola. seen in spice/karbonn)

1. fire up link2sd -> hit the FILTER button & choose ON INTERNAL -> click on a app -> create link (choose all 3 check box)

2. fire up link2sd -> hit the FILTER button & choose ON SD CARD -> click on a app -> create link (choose all 3 check box)

:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] harigavara:
Thanks for respnding.

Below r da screen shots of my problm.hope u undrstand it.

Evritime after n how many times I'm reboiting mob n how many times I'm opening link2sd app its teling the same pops.don't knw y.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] harigavara:
Bro there?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] harigavara:
Yeah I gott bro..

We hav to select ext4 though we partitioned ext2 or ext3.

Issuse is that repencis rom is differnt.thanks bro.

But still actualy I dnt knw basics abut this process.like wat is ext2,3 n 4.for n at which time I shud choose them,n wats da menu dat is cuming after selecting partition...i.e I think swap..or sumthing(tru cwm)..wat n how I have to select those values?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sadhu_s60:
morning! i wake late... after looking @ yr scr, tats wat i was gonna say tat seems u r using custom ROM... since u r choosing ext4, better make tat partition ext4 also.... ext4 formatting wastes less space & its noticeably faster with linking

like FAT, FAT32, NTFS for windows, in linux we have ext2, ext3, ext4 (android is a varient of linux).... u cant use ext2 as ext4 :P it might work but will mess up... so since yr rom is working with ext4, make tat partition ext4 & enjoy

great tat u took the time to figure out yrself :) now u r free from memory restriction forever
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] harigavara:
Thanks bro...but as u said in the guide that to test if its workng or nt- we vl get notification abt linkng the particular we jst instaled.

But I'm nt gettng any notification.I even selctd those options to enable notifications.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] linkingeek:
I'll suggest to Increase Internal memory do the following:

1. Select User apps

2. Multi select>All

3.Action>create link

4.After that settings>Relink all apps ,if it does not work(Failed) it means you have some problem in 2nd partition

5.Recreate script>ext2(always even if you have ext3 on second partition)

6.Again Recreate script>(select repartitioned FileSystem) then Settings >Auto link-Link on boot-install source(internal) finally reboot

7.On reboot it may show low memory dialog wait Link2SD will replace them back to 2nd partition.

8.if you still have problems Settings>clean second partition repeat steps 1-7

ext2 may not be supported on your device try fat 32 or fat on the second partition.

i tried second partition with ex3 ex4 also same result......

plz help...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sadhu_s60:
since the app itself is saying to use fat32 or fat, do those then...... yr fone might nt hav ext support @all

also, u tried ext2/3/4 .....try ext..... or just go with fat32, tat'll work for sure

Thanks for your help. Now I have 2 GB of internal memory on my SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE. But the problem is that sometimes when I restart the phone some of the apps such as games like Ninjump, Froggy Jump etc. and Live wallpapers are gone from the phone without any reason... Now I have used about 0.89 GB of 2 GB. The apps icon will be present on the home screen, but when I click on it to open it, then it says that App isn't installed. What is the problem behind it.? I have alredy downloaded the app of these games from Playstore and even installed successfully and was linked to the second partition of ext2 by the LINK2SD app. I have even used this games before restarting the phone..But after restarting the phone all of a sudden it seems that the apps 'just vanished into air' without no reason...

Also after restarting the phone it shows the warning message that the internal memory of 178 MB is full, System will not work smoothly and so on.. Please suggest me a solution to this problem.. Thanks for your help..

How do you "Update Superuser Binary" (Step 8)?

So I have religiously followed all that was said until I reached 8, and didn't know what or when do you do to update superuser binary?

Have rooted my Spice Stellar Mi-425 (GB) for the first time today, using itsjame rebooting, and nowhere did I come across a part telling me I could update superuser binary. Please help.

Also my phone card does not get read in any other device other than when it is on the phone. So in order for me to do anything on the card, I have to first mount it on the phone and only then can I run any operations on it. Any issues with that?

Not working

not working on micromax A 84
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lupuradu:
First of all, thank You for sharing this. While it worked for 2 games,it failed to work for a game like asphalt 8. I get notified that I don't have enough space. The other problem I had was with real racing 3. It installed OK, it runs OK, but it doesn't update the game anymore as i get notified that I'm out of space . basically, I'm running out of space on my internal phone memory. My device is the HTC desire 310 and has only 4 GB of internal memory, out of which I get to use a bit above 1 GB. How can I stop any app from using that 1 GB and move completely into the SD card? I tried moving the app to the SD from within link2sd menu but it can't be done. The program notifies me that my device uses an external memory emulated by internal memory and because of that I can't move the applications to the SD card. What can I do to solve this issue?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sadhu_s60:
your problem is device specific. wat u can do is...

1. format the fone, install link2sd & try

2. settings - apps - reset all apps & try

3. find link2sd on play store & contact the maker

Hey guys with all the quadrant scores being posted everywhere, I haven't seen a topic dedicated to these alone. So that's what this thread is for. Here are the rules:

Rule 1: when you post a quadrant please tell everyone what Rom/Kernel you are running so if anyone wishes to follow your steps they may do so.

Rule 2: Please merge your posts if your going to post one after another or simply edit your post and update it to maintain order.

That's it. Thanks guys and here is my quadrant. AOKP 40.1 devil .97 with v6 super charger and kak

Hey azuma how did you get your CPU so high? Also I need you to test something for me. Antutu tels me I'm pulling over 3200 in a quad. But quad pro tells me just over 2600. I'm unsure which to believe
[Fascinate General] Azuma73:
I believe antutu runs more tests than quadrant, therefore showing a higher score, but I could be mistaken?

My phone IS fast and stable, but now I think I need to work on better battery!?
[Fascinate General] vrahn:
Dim your screen. Go to (I think development) and put a chexk in kill background processes and leave no programs running. I also use toolbox pro to freeze apps that continuously run and use the mobile web version of them.
[Fascinate General] MunkinDrunky:
Seems like you started this thread so we could show off each of our own tweaks and roms. I came here for a little advice too. That way I could see some big performance increases to my phone.

(first screen capture)

old rom: AOKP 40

old kernel: devil .79

old CPU governor: smartassv2

min-max frequency: 200-1400

(second screen capture)

Current rom: AOKP 40

Current kernel: devil .79

Current CPU governor: conservative

min-max frequency: 100-1400

I was curious I used the ROM setting built into the AOKP rom to set the cpu frequency, but should i use devil kernel config or manager or nstools. or is that just for live OC? My cpu frequency is set at boot. My quadrant scores are pretty low. Any tips for a noob?
[Fascinate General] vrahn:
Yeak I got a couple for ya.

Go to settings, Developer settings, then put a check mark in Force GPU Rendering Make sure the Max CPU is 1400 low is 100 Governer I have set to conservative, ZRam is set for 100mb. Try those settings and reboot before you test again
[Fascinate General] MunkinDrunky:
Ok I believe the Force GPU rendering definitely made the biggest difference. My 2d and 3d scores jumped up. I updated my post. For some reason in the ROM controls it took a couple tries for the new cpu and governor settings to stick after reboot.

[Fascinate General] vrahn:
MunkyDrunky that still seems a little low considering what everyone else is pulling. Try this as well. And I'll include the files from my phone when I get to my computer with instructions.

Get if not already had toolbox

And go to performance and SD card boost. Change the value to 2480 (I think it is. It will give you a preferred high set)

Go to app manager and freeze any constantly running services that you would normally use such as yahoo mail Facebook etc. And use the mobile web versions to help save ram. I'll include v6, 3G, and a few other files you'll need as well.

After the SD boost and app freeze reboot phone into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Then reboot and try your test again.
