indefinitely ckaygr

Got there in the end!

I did some uninstalling / reinstalling but what seemed to work was setting Super User's default action to "Prompt", then clicking allow at the time the app requested access. Perhaps something was wrong with SuperUser's auto allow setting. In any case I Smart Installed BusyBox and then installed 4Ext, ran the flash from the app and all fine.

So, my next step would be to make a full backup from withing 4Ext recovery (is that what's called a 'nandroid' backup?), plus copy the contents of my SD card to a PC for safe keeping, before I look at partitioning the SD?

With regards to formatting the SD, I don't have all that many apps installed (I couldn't because of low internal memory!) so I'm up for formatting it if that would work better?

What I'm not sure about is, if I partition and format the SD card, presumably that will stop me booting into my current ROM? If I manage to partition successfully, would I then switch the phone off, put the SD card in my PC, copy the Revolution ROM zip file to the root of the SD, boot back into recovery and install the ROM?

Sorry for being a rambling noob!

Thanks again,
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Just install 4ext, nandroid backup, backup sd content to hdd, partition it with 1GB ext3 or ext4 (doesn't matter if you decide to format FAT partition), then do full wipe (data, cache+dalvik, system, boot), put the rom.zip on SD and flash it.

If you formatted SD now you can also copy back the music, pics etc. back on your SD.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenstarthree:
Ok so I made a nandroid backup and then copied the entire SD to my PC. I'm currently downloading the A2SD+ version of RevolutionROM.

Just a couple of (probably silly) questions:

1. I've not read about wiping boot before, presume this won't affect HBOOT or Recovery?

2. Once I've partitioned and assuming I do format the FAT partition, how do I then get the ROM.zip onto the SD? Will I be able to power off the phone after partitioning, remove SD card, copy from PC, put back in then boot into recovery again without a problem?

Cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
1. No it wont affect.

2. You can mount USB storage from recovery and copy files from there.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenstarthree:
Sorted!

Writing this from the xda developers app installed on my Desire running revolution ROM.

Massive thanks to you all for your help getting me here! Could I just ask, how do I manage the apps and their caches/data? Do I need to use App2SD anymore or are they automatically using the newly created EXT4 partition?

When I go to manage applications, the phone still only shows around 134MB remaining?

Thank you so much again!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Well if you want more space for apps, another step would be flashing hboot appropriate for ROM, most of them supports cm7r2 hboot which has nearly twice more internal memory reserved for apps.

With cm7r2 hboot i would recommend trying some AOSP ROM's as they are much smaller and fits nicely.

For example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1453287&page=379 (it's easy to settle with as it's automatically moving apps/dalvik to ext partition, dont need to setup any a2sd scripts)

Or any other AOSP rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=809328

Just keep looking for something that you'll like.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenstarthree:
Ah, so I might have misunderstood, I thought partitioning the SD card would cause Revolution ROM to read the 1GB EXT4 partition as internal memory. Or that I would have a function to move app and dalvik from within the ROM? Is that not the case or is it just a manual process to move them?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenstarthree:
Sorry, just noticed something strange:

When I booted into 4EXT recovery, I got this message:

Recovery is in safe mode. This is because the following partition is not accessible: "system"

Please enter the wipe menu and format system! If you changed hboot you should choose to format all partitions (except sdcard).

Afterwards please reboot recovery.

I thought something had gone wrong in the install of Revolution ROM yesterday, so I re-did everything (formatted all partitions, formatted SD FAT32, re-partitioned SD card). After a reboot the message was gone, so I re-installed Revolution ROM, which started ok. But then I rebooted to recovery and the message was back!

The recovery itself seems to work ok, but what would the reason for this message be??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Don't worry about this I saw it few times too, will be gone itself.

And stop formatting sd lol, if I remember correctly it happens when you delete /4ext/ directory from sd, just rerun 4ext app and reconfigure.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenstarthree:
Ok, so I followed your advice and installed a new HBOOT. Had to do some reading to prepare for it but the process itself was, as you say, very easy.

I installed the CM7r2 from Alpharev's site, and then I installed Oxygen ROM. The Oxygen website advised against using an EXT3/4 partition (apparently it's slower in this ROM?), so I put the SD card back to full FAT32. The phone now reads around 230MB free space. So far, I quite like how minimal it is. It sort of reminds me of buying a CD copy of Windows and fresh installing it, as opposed to buying a HP or Dell laptop full of bundle software!

K3clior, I see in your sig that you use Oxygen yourself? How do you manage apps to/from your SD card?

Thanks again all.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
You can use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.krikun.s2e&hl=en

If you're low on space move apps, if still low then move Dalvik-cache aswell. But obviously you need EXT partition, it might be bit slower when you move dalvik, it shouldnt have impact if you move apps only, just try and see yourself. (never move Application Data, it can cause issues)

Also if you dont like the pure android look, you might wanna try something themed, like this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1453287 (AFAIK it's moving apps/dalvik to ext automatically without any apps so you wont need S2E)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenstarthree:
Ah, ok, thanks. Can I create an EXT4 partition at this stage without having to reinstall my ROM?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Yea just choose to not format SD.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenstarthree:
Great, thanks, managed to do it. I haven't actually moved anything to EXT yet, as the phone still reports 128MB free with all a good selection of apps installed. Though now that I have the luxury of installing games things might change.....!

If it's not too off-topic, could I ask:

I've rooted a colleagues Desire with the same method and Oxygen ROM, but he does prefer the Sense UI from the stock ROM.

Is the rooted stock ROM compatible with an EXT partition? Presumably I'd have to flash his back to stock HBOOT but would I then be able to extend the internal memory? Or do I have to pick a custom sense ROM?

Thanks,

Adam

Ive been running Cyanogen10 Nightlies on my Gnex. I initially did so, so i could get JellyBean on there, verizon hadnt released it yet for the gnex. I like Cyanogen, and ive been using it on just about every android device ive owned for years.

Verizon has now released 4.1 for the gnex, and im curious about how the stock rom compares to Cyanogen. Im drawn to the simplicity of running a stock rom, but only if its got all the features id llike.

So, i'd like to know if theres a CWM flashable version of the stock JB rom for the Verizon GNEX floating around. Ive tried browsing around the forums here and havent found it.

I'd like to be able to backup cm10, flash the stock rom, and restore my backup if i find that i dislike it.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
just fastboot flash the stock images.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Go into cwm, backup and restore and make a backup, then copy off the whole clockwordmod folder to your computer to backup cm10.

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Use the above link and download the stock image, flash using fastboot.

Beamed from my Grouper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:

Hey, thanks a lot. I'm not the newb you might think I am. I had a specific question that i didnt find covered elsewhere, that is, is there a cwm flashable version of the stock rom.

Seems that answer is no.

I'm a long time android user, a linux hacker, but not exactly an android hacker. So when i'm not sure on something, I ask.

Thanks to everyone who's posted useful info. Going to attempt the fastboot tonight i think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fire n mage:
Well there is cwm of the leaked jb update, which worked great for me. But I went to slim bean, it's a pretty clean AOSP with plenty of customizations. sounds contradictory, but if you don't want anything, dont customize lol.

This thread is for the developing of the JourneymanMod Kernel project.

For now we are in version 3. Its working great, charging while in OTG, and recoginizes if there is a charger connected or if its default OTG cable.

REMEMBER: It will only charge if you power the hub BEFORE connecting to the phone, if you connect to phone and then power the hub it wont connect.

In the attachments are 3 zip files.

We got version 4.1.1 of yakju and takju. And version 4.1.2 of yakju.

all of them are working nice.

This project will be for enabling OTG + Power, since the stock kernel dont enable charging the phone while in OTG mode.

For helping the project, or just following the news, we created an irc channel (##JourneymanMod).

The source-code of the project will be located at the github (https://github.com/caioketo/journeymanmod).

Was just googling to see if this was possible. Ordered my cable a week ago, waiting for it, & was worried that my time with usb otg would be limited by battery. Great mod! Thank you! Can't wait to try.

Anyone interested in this, this is the cable I ordered. Hope it works. Clearly a normal usb otg cable would have nowhere to attach power :

Add to GNex CM10/CM10.1??

Would the dev be willing to submit a patch to the Galaxy Nexus CM10/CM10.1 project to enable this feature? I am not sure if this kernel could be used as a replacement for the stock CM10 kernel, but third-party kernels aren't supportable if there's a CM issue (hence my request to have it put in native CM10/10.1 kernel). Thanks!

Jim
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] highvista:
Sorry for the delay on responding. This thread hasn't been as active as the original one where the JourneymanMod kernel was first introduced.

I've not submitted a patch to CM previously but, if I can set myself up to do it properly, I definitely will.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mthous01:
It's amazing how easy it is to compile this into custom kernels. Looking forward to the fixed patch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tigrone:
how do you activate this feature in the AOSP available kernel ? I mean do you actually have to incorporate other drivers or is it maybe just an option you can select with menuconfig ? And if so do you have by any chance the specific parameters that are added to the vanilla .config file ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] highvista:
There is a modified AOSP kernel source code file that needs to be replaced. After that, it's a matter of building the kernel with this modified source code and then installing this kernel onto your phone.

This thread is pretty dead. You can find an ongoing discussion and the current kernel distributions at

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1835720

The kernels included in the ZIP archives are built as described above, from the AOSP kernel source.

2 Things:

1.I got CM10.1(Android 4.2.1) it will work?if not there is other solution?

2. There is something like that for Nexus7?(wifi)(CM10.1 Android 4.2.1 too)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimcr7:
1. No, it may boot but it will drain your battery and give you some issue. Other solution is try other kernel, if you want custom kernel with minimal customization try lean kernel. :)

2. I dont know about this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] highvista:
1. CM 10.1 doesn't include this kernel patch, as far as I know. I'd like to submit it for inclusion, but I'd need to test it, which means installing CM on my Galaxy Nexus, which I haven't wanted to do, since my GN is working very well under stock Android 4.1.2 with Journeyman Kernel V4.

2. Check out this thread on another web site

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/30615-can-you-charge-usb-host-mode-simultaneously/

I haven't followed this thread, but there was a lot of talk about a similar patch for the N7.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tigrone:
I actually have been testing your patch (even though in my own kernel), the results and some things I noticed I have posted on the thread you mentioned earlier when you announced you solved the bug that occurs when detaching external USB power...

I just ordered the Samsung Folio Case off the AT&T web site. Just curious what other people think about it. Was it worth the 50.00 it cost? I like to have some sort of protection on my phone but cant stand having all these bag a$$ cases on my phone!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duowing:
I was curious if anyone knows the answer to this. When I had my i747 with the S4 processor it seemed like it got better 3G/Data connections here on Straight Talk than my i9300 does. Basically what I'm wondering is for the LTE versions of these phones such as the N7105 and i9305 are they simply adding in a second modem that solely uses LTE, so it would essentially have their standard modem for your 3G/HSPA connections and then switches to the Qualcomm for the LTE connections? Otherwise are they using a completely different modem that also handles your regular 3G/HSPA connections? I've been itching to grab an international N7100 as soon as possible, but I was thinking maybe I should try and hold out and get one of the US variants with the qualcomm modem as I've seemed to have better connections with the devices running the qualcomm chipsets. Does anyone know the answer to this?

Quick summary would be since I'm on Straight Talk and can't use LTE, if I waited for the AT&T version would I be using the same modem that's in the N7100 to connect to 3G/HSPA+ while the LTE modem sits idly by?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmergencyMedic:
Nowhere yet I'm afraid - release date is speculative ATM - I'm holding off until its released - hope its not too long :0( if we get to next feb they'll loose a sale as ill then wait for the SGNIII - which will probably be released in same way, and I'll wait again for bigger memory, it'll come late and ill wait for IV......repeat till SGNXXX when the smallest memory they can make is big enough lol

Silly really, one thing apple do reasonably well is release all memory sizes at same time (not so good with colours). If this had been 64GB, or even 32GB on release I'd have bought by now (even without LTE) - 16GB really isn big enough, especially as its not the simplest task to get apps onto the external SD

Here's to keeping fingers crossed for 32GB soon, not holding breath for 64 this year :0(

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhino-2-Horny:
i too thought it was 'max upto' 64gb micro SD cards but aparently thats for SDHC micro cards when it comes to Micro SDXC cards its different and they support whatever the card size is due to a different file structure.

hence rumour has it samsung are releasing the micro 128gb SDXC before christmas.

thats was told to me on another thread currently running that i commented on questioning isnt the max storage 64gb for note 2.

hope that helps

You'll need to check with a dev but in my current phone the SD is partitioned and all my apps install into the partition as though it were internal memory. It was crucial on my gf's htc desire (bravo).

Using Gsam battery monitor. Shows 25% drain is kernel but also shows held awake @ 9%. Showing phone @ 4% with number of wake locks 389. Seems excessive. I'm not sure if held awake is when you are using the phone or what exactly that means.

Using LeanKernal as of right now 230mhz. Cpu spy shows 230mhz for almost all usuage with phone screen off and no deep sleep at all.

I know this might not be the best place for network issues but seeing as the TMobile Forums are useless because no one ever answers my questions i thought i'd find out if anyones having similar issues to me. For the past week or so ive noticed that my reception isnt as strong as it used to be like for example at home i used to get full bars now i only get about 2 bars max and the internet speeds are really slow wherever I am..even tho its showing as connected as HSPA. Also sometimes the connection randomly cuts off and then suddenly comes back on again.

Hello

My friend who uses an IPhone 4 on T-Mobile lives in Sheffield has noticed the service/signal has deteriorated over the last couple of weeks. Previously she would have full signal everywhere in her house. We wondered if it was because of the current upgrades to 4G that is happening in Sheffield and also London. Maybe that's what's affecting your signal too?
[HTC One X] DharmzVala:
Yep I had a feeling it could be because of the 4G upgrade but I wasnt too sure, if alot of people are experiencing similar issues then that must be the reason for it.
[HTC One X] mugglesquop:
this is what i was thinking until he said he had changed the radio... that can make a lot of difference.
[HTC One X] DharmzVala:
But surely updating the radio is meant to make it better not worse? :eek:
[HTC One X] iang265:
I'm on T-Mobile UK and the signal has definitely deteriorated recently (I also live in Sheffield). I've been operating on the assumption that it's because of the 4g/EE happenings.

Now I think about it, it also coincides with me switching from stock to custom ROM.

The change certainly hasn't been of large enough magnitude for me to want to fix it though.

Try a network test app and then post the results. I'll do the same later tonight so we can compare?
