Use a program like Partition Wizard Home Edition (free) http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html (Windows)

Use Gparted for Mac OS X (can also be used for Windows but I prefer Partition Wizard Home Edition) http://gparted.sourceforge.net

to partition the SD-card. (ALL DATA WILL BE DELETED!!)

Here's an example of a 8 GB SD card

FIRST Partition --> Primary FAT32 cluster size 8192 kb. SIZE: Between 5000 MB and 5632 MB (8192 MB - 2048 MB for EXT4 and 512 MB for Linux SWAP)

SECOND Partition --> Primary EXT4 default cluster size, SIZE: 2048 MB

THIRD Partition --> Primary LINUX SWAP default cluster size, SIZE: 512 MB

Keep in mind that the second and third are RECOMMENDED sized. So please follow those partition sizes. You can change the first partition size (FAT32) to your liking. But keep in mind that you leave enough space to create the Second and Third partition. Please create the partitions in the above order.

Now copy your favorite rom to your FAT32 partition (via Windows Explorer/ or Finder in Mac) because that is the only visible partition for Windows and used by CWM.

And copy Data2SDInstallerES.zip (see my attachment) to your FAT32 partition.

Install the ROM. Let it boot. Then BEFORE the setup of your ROM (language input, create gmail account etc. etc) you have to turn the phone off.

Then install Data2SDInstallerES.zip via CWM and after the install do a wipe cache and dalvik cache and after that do a fix permissions.

Then boot into the ROM again and presto you have more 'internal storage'.

Confirmed this is working with a unlocked bootloader (via HTC-DEV) and with S-ON.

You can also use Link2SD but for that you need to be S-OFF. But this method also works with S-OFF ofcourse ;)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] in_core:
Hello everyone. I am new at XDA.

I was planning to buy the Sony Xperia S, but heard a lot of complaints about its battery life. Read a lot of threads but different people have different opinions and problems. So i though i would post my needs and get an idea of how much my battery will last.

My main usage of the phone EACH Day will be:

1. Playback of 720p (or less) resolution video playback, about 1.5-2 hours.

I will try to set the brightness below 40%. BRAVIA Engine Turned ON. Listen through Headphones (not the speaker)

2. Music playback, about 30 mins (through headphones)

3. 30-60 mins of games (using speakers)

4. 10 mins talk time over 2G

Note: I will only use 2G network. Wifi sometimes for browsing. Almost no network data usage. No account synchronization will be used at all. So basically in standby all network connectivity will be off, (gsm 2g network will be just on for incoming calls etc.)

My question is how long will the phone last in total after a full 100% charge?

Hope to get an answer soon. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mharckk:
it will last roughly 10-15hrs. but if youre just playing with your phone it will only last 5-6hrs.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] in_core:
By "Playing" u mean playing games or using the phone for any purpose and keeping the screen on?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] conalt:
By keeping the brightness at around 40% or so I get between 3 and 4 hours of screen on time per charge.

Not sure how demanding video playback is compared to normal screen on, but if playing games as well but I would guess closer to the 3 hour mark than 4.

There is a battery life thread somewhere that has a poll in it which might be useful.

As per u r requirements it will last 5 or more hours

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] in_core:

Anyways it seems the battery life wont last long for me. Guess i should wait for other devices with better battery efficiency.

Oh my Xperia S. Its has everything perfect from display to processor to size to memory and the PRICE. So sad that its let down by the battery :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Theonlyzii:
If you want battery

Just buy a razr maxx :D

But still if compared to my friend sgs3 (all stock) my xperia s is still have better battery life
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] conalt:
The problem with all these newer devices is that the nice screens do drain a lot of battery. If you are going to be using the device that much then something like the razr does sound good.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monivan:
For no 3G data u're phone screen on would reach 4-5 hours! For always on 3G data it would last 3.5 hours! Playing movie consume less power! I tried with MX player with Hardware acceleration and set to one core limit! I could finish Two movies and still has 20%!

2. Playing music with headphone screen is really battery saving! I spend my 5% at 11pm listening till it run out of battery! Guess what the phone shut down at 2am!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] in_core:
So this MX Player saves a lot of battery by turning off the unused cores and processing powers?

Thats good news.

Could you be more specific about how many hours those movies were in total?

And what was your Brightness Level and was your BRAVIA ON? (Does MX use the Bravia Feature?)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] in_core:
So MX Player has options to save battery? Thats great.

Could you please specify what you regularly do in your device and after how many hours you recharge?

Brightness 30-50!

This device is fast charged! 1:15mn full, if u're don't use it! And actually, i'm a heavy user, i browse the internet, fb,line, whatsapp, twitters, news and radio at night! Movie every spare time! I prefer watching it on my mobile since the color is nicer and portable i can watch it where and whenever i want!

I charge it 2 times aday! And my mobile 3G and data is always on since i don't have wifi at home! Battery is good enough for me for my usage! My friend GS3 battery drop faster than mine with the same usage!

Don't forget to hit thank, if i deserve it!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] in_core:
Can i ask you one last question?

Like if i use about 1 hour for video using MX player, 30 mins Music, 1 Hour fiddling with small apps/games and the browser... All these using a Headphone (SkullCandy ink'd)

how much total time can i get out of the device? approximately

Me buying this device tomorrow depends on your answer.

Thanks for the info so far :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monivan:
I think it depends on how heavy or how much time u use it! Standy don't really consume battery! So there for depend on ur usage i guesss 8-10 hours! But the total screen on time must be around 4-5!

Iam using i9300XXALF2, rooted device with CMW installed.

After flashing BESTSCREEN BRIGHTNESS FIX MODE with CMW http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1791163 my phone is booting but gets stuck at showing

input mode:

touchwiz launcher

XP mod

Panda home

windows 7

after selecting TOUCH WIZ, but not loading, showing some error like CLEAR DEFAULT FROM SETTING>APPS.... or something like this. and it is not loading any launcher. I hope only the launcher is affected.

My phone is getting recognized by international toolkit, made a NANDRIOD backup after the crash.

I had made a backup of my phone when it was new, immediately after rooting and installing CMW. I recovered my phone with that nandriod backup. but the system went a very early stage. i lost almost all applications from the home screen, though the folders and files are showing in the internal memory.

So now i have two backups, (1) when the phone was new (2) after the crash

My question is can someone help me to recover the phone to the stage just before installing brightness fix for S3.(i have made a backup after the crash- data, system cache, nandroid, boot, recovery).

Please help.me. since iam a newbie iam not alllowed to post in that specific forum. Iam desperate. please help me.......

it's a very sad thing that nobody helped me. I know there are so many knowledgeable people out here. anyways I have sorted a solution myself after so many trial and error attempts within two days. I couldn't find time to post the reply . I am posting the solution that worked for me only because there might be so many other people who are also might be facing the z ame dilemma I faced.

as I mentioned in the first post that I had two backups. one older,and working. second backup I made at the time of crash.

what I did is just flashed the system.ext4.tar from the first backup , and everything started working again. most of the minor problems gets corrcted by this method.

my advice to other newbies just like me is always make a backup before trying any mods posted here. 2 mods I tried and both crashed my system.

[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
I tried setting the TF700's screen to maximum brightness (IPS+ mode) and I still couldn't really watch movies when I was sitting on a bus around 2-3pm. I could even see my own reflection in the screen (the TF700 screen can be used as a mirror!!!). I just want to have a sanity check, am I asking too much from the screen? When ASUS said the TF700 can be used in direct sunlight, does it really mean that the screen is visible in all sunlight condition (e.g around noon) or only when the sunlight is not really strong?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Most mediaplayers have their own internal brightness setting... Try swiping up on the left side of the screen during the video.

I can read the screen just fine in direct sunlight. The reflection will always be there, it's a glass screen.

Yes, I have set maximum brightness even in the media player as well. It doesn't help much.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masikamasi:
Hi,

i use RRom v.11 ICS and before that i was using RRom v23 GB. I have 3nand backups from each Rom but now i cannot reinstall them. When i try over the recovery mode, it chooses the file but when i click on it, it tells me that no files were found. I tried with Abyss Kernel 4.2 & Hydracore v4.3.

One last note, my last backup i did (with the hydracore kernel) is 20 MB big. Its obvious that there was a problem. What i noticed was that in the clockwork folder there was a folder named bloopers, or something like that wihich was almost 1,2 GB big.

Can someone tell me please how i can get my backups back running and if my last backup (with the 20 MB) is possible to rescue?

Thakns in advance!

Greetings

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forest1971:
1. Make sure you do not mix up external and internal sdcard. If have external should remove first.

2. My CWM backup is stored in the ClockWorkMod folder in the internal sdcard

3. 20 mb is not the right size. The full size of back up is often 300-700 MB depend on what rom you used. some Cm9 rom is quite small but other stock or stock based is often more than 500 mb.

4. Why not try another backup with another safe kernel. Abyssnote is for GB and hydracore is for ICS/JB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masikamasi:
Backups are on the external card. Before there were no problems recovering those backups.

Abyss kernel also didnt work trying to recover GB Backups.

[Windows 8 General] Pseudonym117:
As I'm sure many people have discovered (at least if my searching about it is to be believed), Metro Apps - sorry - Windows 8 style apps, can not be run when UAC is turned off. They just yell at you and don't start.

This leaves one solution, turning on UAC. But, when you do that, those annoying little pop-ups appear any time you want to do anything useful on your computer with any non-built-in program. Seems like we can only choose one, right? Running Metro apps and being annoyed all the time or not being annoyed by UAC but not being able to use Metro apps.

Luckily, this isn't the case! This can be fixed, giving you the nice non-nagging of having UAC off and the convenience of running Metro apps! How, you ask? A very simple registry edit!

First, open up control panel and get to the UAC section

- I have no idea where this is, just search "UAC" in the top right bar of control panel, or easier yet, in the system search

Drag the slider down to "Never Notify"

It should ask you to restart. You MAY not need to, but I haven't tried it. I recommend restarting.

Next, open up the registry editor.

- just press windows+q to get to search and type in "regedit" - it should be the first thing there

Navigate to the UAC registry setting - it is located here:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableLUA

That setting (EnableLUA) should be of type "REG_DWORD" and the Data should be "0x00000000 (0)". If not, you didnt do the last step correctly. Redo it.

Double click on that and change the "Value data:" from 0 to 1.

This should also prompt you to restart. You definitely need to do this one.

After this, magically, you can run Metro apps and also not be nagged by UAC!

I haven't run in to any errors doing this, but I quite literally did it an hour ago. So far, no problems I can see.
[Windows 8 General] lumpaywk:

Thanks for have made the world just a little less secure big time
[Windows 8 General] Pseudonym117:
has anyone ever been so far as to decide what to do more like?

but srsly, if i actually know what you are saying (big if...), this shouldnt make windows any less secure than just turning UAC off would, as the registry change actually turns UAC back on, it doesnt just fake that it is on. It just doesnt have the annoying pop-up. metro apps are still sandboxed and not allowed administrator rights anyways.
[Windows 8 General] sireangelus:
excactly. so by finding a way users are not forced to have uac on, you make windows in general less secure, because these are MEANT to obbligate people to have uac on.
[Windows 8 General] JihadSquad:
What I don't get is why this workaround is required in the first place... the first time I got a UAC notification I went to settings and turned it off. Haven't had a problem since.
[Windows 8 General] Pseudonym117:
sure, but i dont like UAC yelling at me. as such, i want it off. i dont care when programs are trying to do something they need administrator permission to do, because i know what i download and what it does.
[Windows 8 General] JihadSquad:
Exactly. UAC is meant for people who have no idea what they are doing when it comes to Windows system-wise. If they don't know what programs do what it is useful to deny something they didn't request.
[Windows 8 General] Pseudonym117:
if you dont know what you are doing, NEVER OPEN THE REGISTRY EDITOR.

[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
I honestly don't know what all the fuss about UAC is, theres almost no lag any more, it doesn't have to dim, and if set correctly doesn't nag about every little thing.

For all those that feel that the world is a 100% safe place to live and work, good for you, keep it turned off, for everyone else with a interest in helping the wider community stay safe, just keep it on yeah, worms and viruses don't typically jump up and say they are about to install so any prompt for programs doing stuff with higher level privileges is good in my book.

I do a lot of stuff on my computers, id say im fairly well clued up as to what im doing ;) but I for one like the UAC pop up, why? because you cant possibly know that every little program is safe. with UAC on, you can turn it way down but leave it on still meaning any program that requires admin rights (which shouldn't be many) has to ask me.

Yes I do know that if run something it may trigger the response, yes I do know what im running, but you are all naïve to assume that bad things never happen

One other thing, I have no AV software at al, beyond what comes with windows, I run periodic off line scans which are all clear, why is that? because I have a properly setup 2 way firewall, I know what im doing, and I know what the programs are trying to do, for all you lot that turn UAC off, you cant possibly know what programs are doing with admin rights without your knowledge.
[Windows 8 General] Iceberger:
Enabling UAC is not an option for me.

What you do to get the Metro apps "magically" start is absolutely no magic. You turn UAC back on.

To salve this problem, and yet keep UAC disabled, make sure EnableLUA is still "0"

Then make sure your user account is a member of the local Administrator group.

then goto Run > secpol.msc > Local Policies > Security Settings > Security Options >

User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode > Enable

Reboot

And the Metro Apps will work while UAC is still disabled.
