Ok so it's normal to have 2 separate partitions like that? What can I do when the 2GB gets full?

I would like to bump this thread

I have a similar issue with the thread starter

My phone , Cm10, has two internal storage

when i check the system settings

and when i check manage apps

the sd card tab shows the 2nd internal storage instead of my 8gb micro sd

even if i take off my micro sd card from my phone the phone still says that i have an sd card w/ 1.4gb of storage in Manage Apps

[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
The Galaxy S II has a 218 ppi display, and by default, is set to run on 240 dpi (hdpi). Samsung did that on purpose. The Galaxy S II is designed by Samsung to have a display that has ppi lower than its dpi, resulting in having the big texts, big popups, big icons, which are perfect for TouchWiz's look. The same thing happens on the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy S III.

If you're using AOSP ROMs, such as CM9 and AOKP, you'll still get big texts, big icons, etc. This is simply different than what AOSP ROMs should look like. AOSP ROMs should have the similar looks as the Nexus phones.

Nexus phones, on the other hand, is designed by Google to have display with a perfect size. There is only a little difference between the amount of its dpi and ppi.

If you divide S2's ppi by its dpi, you'll get about 1.10 (240/218). It's too big compared to Nexus phones. Calculating Nexus S' will give you result of about 1.03 (240/233), the Galaxy Nexus' about 1.01.. (320/316), and Nexus 7's is 1 (216/216).

Just use Gnex's as its the latest nexus phone. Multiplying Gnex's (1.01..) with S2's ppi (218) will give you 221 dpi. I'm using that dpi and it looks great on CM9 :)

How to change the dpi? First of all, you'll need a ROM that supports it, such as CM9 and other AOSP ROMs. Then, you could change the dpi by using one of these ways:

- Editing build.prop

- Use xxtweaker app made by the dev of fluxi kernel. Under system settings, there is LCD density. AFAIK, you don't have to run on fluxi kernel just to do that.

- Use paranoidandroid and go to its settings. You can even set different dpi for each apps using that ROM.

- Get LCD density modder app from the play store.

-DPI Changer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.innodroid.dpichanger

You can fix Play Store issue using this modded latest play store (3.7.13)

http://www.megashare.com/4356000

240 dpi vs 221 dpi
[Galaxy S II General] ivkos:
According to Wikipedia Galaxy S2's display ppi is 219. I set my LCD density to 219 dpi using xxTweaker and it definitely looks better. So far no problems with incompatible apps in Play Store.

If you happen to have problems with the store after chaning your dpi, uninstall it then launch it again and it should download a version for your dpi.

edit: To be exact, the display ppi is 218.49, so you're right - 218.
[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
It looks too small. I've tried 218 and the text label and icons on app drawer is not big enough.

According to wiki too, it's 218. See this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II

[Galaxy S II General] TheStigx:
What would you guyes with CM9, recommend as an good DPi for SG2? :)
[Galaxy S II General] Floodland:
CM9

I tried several DPIs and ended with 182.

160 is a standard one and will not give issues with market and crappy google applications, but text is unconfortable (too small) for my eyes.

Depending on the build, some CM9 ROMs would need a fix for phone.apk, available around here (I think the latest one does not have this issue, not confirmed).

If you want to use non standard DPIs (other than 240, 160 or 120), I suggest you either use Resurrection Remix (with Google play fix) or Paranoid Android, where you can customize DPIs application by application. They use diferent aproaches but both will do the job Google missed.
[Galaxy S II General] Life Engineer:
DPI

Well guys i have tried many many DPIs on my CM9!

Default 240,220,216,218,210,204,198,192,182...

I always compared the looks of the Gnex (which i had for a week) with the S2 on cm9!

Always Gnex looked better because it used smaller fonts and aspects which is completely logical!

>220 just looked a bit big!

>200 & <220 looked nice but didn't get the best use for the screen!

<200 looked small to me and i couldn't easily read the font!

So i came up with a good idea to have both a good font and a good use of the area of the screen!

I used DPI=192 (this will give u 30apps/page on the apps menu instead of 20) and changed font size to Large! This will keep the same area used but with bigger readable fonts :good:;)

Attached are 2 screenshots for DPI=192, one is with Normal font and the other is with Large fonts!

219 is best looking DPI period.

I don't knoww if anyone of you have noticed this .. but if you use dpi between 221 to 230 (more maybe upto 240) then twitter widget gets little distorted(gets greyish shadowy).

So I've been using anything between 215-219 as I like on different roms... but yes probably 219 is the best looking DPI ...

Thanks for starting this post !! I was yearning to see people's view on this .. but it seemed that guys on my phone's threads didn't cared as much ... :D

---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 AM ----------

You can use any DPI setting on sammy roms also .. only detrimental effect that would have is slightly distorted/diminished phone dialer. however if you find any sammy rom which has AOSP contacts,phone,calc etc apps baked instead of sammy ones (I know some roms do have that) then you can very well try changing DPI and check if your phone dialier looks ok and usable..

I'm using a Sammy based (LP7 based) rom with AOSP stock app package baked in it called Serendipity 9.4 and it looks just perfect @ 219DPI!!! :D
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
Thanks for that. I'm keen to know if anyone is using 219 dpi on a stock(clean kies one) Samsung rom and not having issues like dialer, play store etc

this is a support thread for my ROM based on JJ's Hybrid v3.2 and Sony ICS

ok, i guess everyone knows jjdoctor's great ROM for Arc/ArcS or has even read the the thread

by now I don't know a AOSP ROM or a Port for our Xperia Pro so i thought about porting this one and succeeded

plus I use Sony ICS sources and created an even more stable ICS experience

features

stable and perfect daily driver for xperia pro

Sony ICS libs

AOSP apps from JJ Hybrid 3.2

essential GApps - calendar&contacts sync

very good battery life

tweaked init.d and build.prop

no bloatware

recommended Riyal-Kernel adds SuperUser, the ROM supports root

apps

full AOSP look without theming (no Sony look anymore)

AOSP dialer with T9

AOSP apps - Calendar, e-mail, contacts, gallery, music, calc..

google playstore 3.7.13 no-autoupdate no-restrictions

htc_ime with WP7 skin (fits well in) and replaced Latin_IME

Sony Camera with flash working

zeam launcher in system - so you can easy install your fav ICS launcher via playstore

file explorer preinstalled in data\app so you can replace with your choice

there's no supercharger integrated as I'm with Riyal's opinion here

(don't know what I'm talking about?? go here)

I'm going to publish screenshots asap - for now go to jj's thread and have a look there ... baiscally it's the google AOSP look

recommendations and installation procedure

I recommend you get Riyal's great kernel and use this one with my ROM

you can get it here

don't forget to update also the wifi modules

how to install:

get Riyal's kernel

install my ROM via CWM

flash wifi modules that come with the kernel

eventually flash your hardware keyboard layout

reboot and wait

actually the updater-script will do the whiping, but whiping via CWM won't hurt

no whipe no whine

Ok, so far I'm loving this.

It's what I liked about CyanogenMod9 with all the Sony stuff I wanted this cellphone for (Camera, Bravia Engine).

So far here goes the first bug:

- The Wallpaper isn't working correctly. Scroll all the way to the left, there's a black part.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] RamEsRock:
Ok, keyboard is stuck to Arabic and Ameer's zip makes it worse... (Trying Qwerty-Latin on Stroke cellphone).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ameer1234567890:
I sent you a PM with some files to test.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] RamEsRock:
Tried it. No go.

Isn't there a way to extract the HW keyboard selection from CM9 ROM/Kernel and port it to Stock Kernel?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Barleyman:
That's the only ROM with a truly working hw keyboard layout support. So not a bad idea at all.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Riyal:
I'm not quite sure but I tested CM months ago and I think the keyboard layout you're all taking about is integrated in the settings of CM. So... Porting it would probably means porting CM9 settings apk to stock version. But doing so would disable xloud, bravia and other Sony independent settings.

Anyways... :D great port finally a new one has arrived for our device. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] RamEsRock:
Ok, I got god damn stressed and furious with this keyboard problem but I finally fixed it (this for Qwerty Keyboards).

I attach here a flashable through CWM zip that will defenitely change the keyboard to Qwerty once and for all.

Can you guys help me test it? I test it on my cellphone twice and it worked.

For sure it will work on my own same type of cellphone (MK16i with Stroke Keyboard).

Dunno if you guys want to test it yourselves.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ameer1234567890:
First of all, please do not go on talking about the qwerty layout being wrong, whereas you have stroke layout. My zip file is correct and works for me and loads of others. Please do not keep on posting wrong information which will confuse users. And be informed: QWERTY and Stroke are 2 different layouts with similarities. The fact that my zip file for QWERTY layout not working on your phone, which has a Stroke layout, does not make my files wrong. Instead, it makes you wrong.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] RamEsRock:
I don't diminish your work at all. But watching all the replies on the thread it indicates that your zip files haven't worked dude. I don't have a number of people who's zip have worked because they haven't replied on your thread.

Maybe as you say it will work on the respective cellphones but it isn't working on mine and you haven't uploaded the stroke one.

Also: I just did a third test. Full wipe, reinstalled the Rom. Booted and did the initial settings. Flashed my zip and it gave me Qwerty keyboard for Stroke.

It's the file from the system folder that has the assignment of each key so it shouldn't be wrong dude (the one from Jozinek's thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1710777) and forced into the ROM's layout.

So it is not flawed and I can't prove yours are flawed either.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ameer1234567890:
OK dude! Let's not continue this offtopic discussion in this thread. Let's settle it in PM.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] RamEsRock:
Nothing to settle. If one doesn't work, try the other. Thing is leaving this ROM fully functional. No need to argue bout what works and what does.

Try one? Doesn't work. Try the other.

My bootloader is unlocked by unlock-bootloader.com. My Phone is an R800x Xperia Play. I installed the Darkforest5 ICS Kernal onto it, and then went into CWM and installed the 0605 R800x Zip file from PaxChristo.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1591285

Anyways, I have tried countless times to install it, but every time, it just hangs at "Installing ROM". Then, when it finally gets done "installing", it just says "finished installing", without any output whatsoever. (I deleted davlik-cache, user data, cache, etc beforehand by the way)

Then, when I choose to reboot the device, it goes to the boot screen, and just sits there. I have no clue what's wrong with it. The kernels, etc. seemed to install correctly, but the ROMS always seem to fail in installation. Any ideas?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MauriceFdo:
hmm try CM9 RC1, I'm newbie and can't post links, but go to cyanogenmod com, click on GET CYANOGEN, look for your xperia play, select experimental mod, download cm-9.0.0-RC1-zeus.zip and save de file, open it an extract the boot img and put it into the same folder together fastboot.exe and copy the zip file to your SD-Card, then, search in google: "Sony Ericsson Xperia Play (GSM): Full Update Guide", follow the instructions and thats all. I recommend to install gapps.

Basically, you first install de kernel (boot.img), then boot in CWM, do a factory reset (or clear data and cache) and dalvik cache clear, then install de zip, and install gapps, then reboot. good luck (sorry, my english is very poor :P )

Do yourself a favor before flashing the recovery via odin if you're rooted and follow these instructions, or else the stock recovery will override your CWM recovery every boot:

Installation Instructions for stock FD01 users with stock 3e recovery:

Gain root access if you don't already have it.

Disable any lockscreen security you have.

While in the Stock ROM after enabling root access, navigate to the /system folder with a root-enabled file explorer app and mount R/W.

Locate the file "recovery-from.boot.p" and rename it to "recovery-from.boot.p.bak" then power down your tab,

Do Not reboot or let the tab boot into your stock rom

!

Boot into download mode by pressing and holding power + volume down

Press Volume up to continue into download mode and connect your tab to your pc

Load up ODIN and flash the 5.5.4.0 tar file via PDA
