Making space in /system for gapps.

I recently moved to the 4.2.2 build by Quark, and the space in the /system partition was a pretty serious issue when trying to flash Gapps: an extra 42MB is needed for them to fit. This is how I fixed it, maybe someone else will find it helpful:

I downloaded gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip (90.9MB) and cm-10.1-20130413-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip (169MB). I have 7zip installed, and I opened cm-10.1-20130413-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip file with it.

The system folder inside the .zip file is 282,649,236 bytes. We need to reduce that by at least 42MB without losing anything important. Here's the files I deleted within the .zip file, after extracting them to a folder for further use:

/system/media/video - 6.07MB

/system/media/alarms - 0.92MB

/system/media/notifications - 1.13MB

/system/media/ringtones - 9.43MB

/system/media/bootanimation.zip - 1.26MB

That alone saves 19MB, and all the audio and videos can be placed in the memory card if you want to use them (though I just tossed them away). The boot animation can be placed in /data/local after the ROM is installed, if you want the CyanogenMod screen; I use one I made myself with my personal information, so I just threw it away too.

We still need 23MB; so what I did was look into /system/app for applications that I don't need immediately, and moved the APKs away. After the ROM installation, I just opened the APKs in a File Manager and installed what I wanted. This is what I removed:

Installed later from the SD card:

Apollo - 1.38MB

Calendar - 1.11MB

ThemeManager - 204KB

VideoEditor - 4.65MB

Wallpapers and Live Wallpapers that can be installed from the SD card:

CMWallpapers - 7.04MB

Galaxy4 - 258KB

HoloSpiralWallpaper - 57KB

LiveWallpapers - 1.65MB

MagicSmokeWallpapers 220KB

NoiseField - 76KB

PhaseBeam - 71KB

VisualizationWallpapers - 182KB

PhotoTable - 436KB

I use alternatives from the Play store:

Browser - 2.21MB (Chrome)

CMFileManager - 1.28MB (ES File Manager)

Other:

CMUpdater - 140.86KB (I don't think this does anything in this ROM)

DSPManager - 350KB (never used this)

MotoFMService - 23KB (I don't think FM even works)

MotoPhonePortal - 1.29MB (never used it)

You could probably remove other APKs, but at that point I had enough free space to flash the ROM zip and the unmodified gapps zip, and I had 528KB free. Then I proceeded to install the APKs from the SD card. Everything has worked great since.

Note: for Adaway, I set the option to save the hosts file in data/data/hosts, as there's not enough room in system to write the large hosts file. Removing more APKs and installing them from the SD card would probably allow the hosts to be written in system, though I don't see the need.

TWRP Rebooting

Is there any solution for TWRP rebooting issue? How we can put another version of TWRP, since the version 2.5 is rebooting and the version 2.4 is not (i guess).

It's the 3rd time i have to flash whole process since the beggining (from sbf to custom rom) because the TWRP reboots in the middle of wipping process...

Thanks in advance
[Defy General] okij:
I experience the same and just made a post on the development thread about it. I'm glad that I'm not alone with this problem... :)
[Defy General] xufooo:
it seems we are the minority who encounter this compass problem. i havent wiped data, may the reason??
[Defy General] okij:
On the other thread, so far there was just one feedback to this (by user atulclassic) and also for him it's not working, so it rather looks like a general problem.

I also haven't wiped data (it just takes too long for me to install everything again), but since the compass was working before under CM10, it also should work after the update to CM10.1, which currently isn't the case.

No RIL/phone working on CM 10.1 from 15.04.13 with 2.6er kernel

Hello!

After unlocking the sim card my defy+ did not find my vodafone network, I can not login into a cell (europe, germany). The icon for the signal strengh shows no signal...

Before I upgraded to CM10.1 from 15.04.13 linux 2.6 I was running CM10 from 20130307.

I did a full wipe (plus dalvik cache format). Everything else looks good so far (wlan wirth 802.11n is working, BT looks good...).

Right now I did not find any comment about RIL or phone problems in this thread. But I guess there is already a note how to fix this problem...?!

BTW: Changing the baseband from "Europa"... 3.4.x to 2.34 did not help. Imho I had 3.4.x all the time without any problem.

Best regards, Stephan

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

wondering...

...suddenly after changing back the baseband to 3.4.x and writing this post here I got full signal back: I did another reboot and did a double unlocking of the sim (unlocking after boot... fine, full signal... *plonk* no signal and the sim unlock window appeared twice). So now all looks fine... *wondering*
[Defy General] gkovacsp:
I've installed 10.1 last night over my 10 (04/09).

Installation went fine, programs were upgraded and everything seemed to be fine until I've unlocked the screen: clock has crashed.

Some of my apps disappeared (eg. Tasker), some of the did not start (eg. Play). Contacts and Calendar entried were missing as well.

I suspected, that I have to update the google apps as well so uninstalled a couple of bloatware from my installation with Titanium backup (Apollo, wallpapers...), went into TWRP and flashed Gapps minimal.

Start again, and things went wild:

clock has crashed

google wizard has crashed and this message came back on and on, no way to stop.

The phone seemed to work anyway:

-email and sms arrived

-browser worked

-system tray pulled down

-switched off after the timeout - switching back showed the lockscreen

-unlcok --> Crash messages...

This is when I had to restore my backup and carry on using v10.

I suspect the problem was that I run out of system space, but don't know what is a good strategy to upgrade?

Do I have to reinstall google apps if I come from v10?

Is it possible, that when I flash the downloaded build it runs out of space? If so does it mean there is no upgrade from v10?

Thanks for the help.

CM10.1 Defy+ problems

Hi,

I would like to also step in the line, and list my experienced problems with the latest (04.15) CM10.1 build (Defy+). I know that they are all already posted in here, or in dev forums, but I only want to accentuate that not only a few users experience these:

1. During phone calls sometimes the sound is dropped after a while, neither I or the other party cannot hear each ones voice.

2. Wifi "jamming", if I connect to my home WIFI network, other devices cannot communicate with the AP, until I disconnect the Defy+.

3. The lock screen shows up very slow, it takes ~1.5 seconds after I turn the screen on..

Thanks.
[Defy General] xufooo:
clock crash too. and when i cleaned the clock app data, no more crash. may this would help you.

from scratch

I did from the scratch, like reset the phone to factory, wiped the cache and flashed the ROM and it seems to be working fine.

I have no issues with the ROM, so far at least. I am running on the 15th April CM10.1 Quarx ROM.

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------

For WiFi issue, you could try turning off the WiFi optimization.

As far as call quality goes, I did have voice dropping off once, had to redo the call, guess it could be a network issue in my area, it happens at times.

lock screen I think it is normal to appear after a second or so

hi, I have installed the last cm10.1 in my 526, after a clean install. I have a rare problem with whatsapp, when I try to install apear the message " this aplication is not aviable for tablets", so i can't install it. I'd wiped cache and dalwik with no changes.

Somebody knows why?

Lag on Defy+

Hi, sorry for noob question, but could someone help me?

I did a clean install (Coming from CM10 (which had the same "problem")) I didn't change dev/performance settings, I restored my apps from stock ROM/CM10 with TIB, I'm on the build before the last (I didn't need new stuff) and I have a lot of lag on the ROM, scrolling is laggy, everything takes ages to load (Whatsapp takes 10 seconds!) could some please tell me what can I do? I didn't see anyone complaining about this (this is not a complain) so what could I done wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have a problem on my green lense defy with the15.04 build (2.6.32 kernel).

I come from CM9. I did a full wipe, and installed the ROM zip + gapps. The phone boots, however TTS engine and search engine keep crashing. I checked the md5 checksum of my zips and they checked out. I tried reinstalling gapps to no avail.

I haven't found any solution yet, despite some people reporting the very same problem that's the reason why I came here seeking for help.

Did I do something wrong? Is there anything I can try to fix this?
[Defy General] Nailtrail:
It's no longer present in CM10 or later versions.

quark published a new kernel which solved compass problem. thank you so much for your great work.

[Defy General] Nemado:
Thanks for your input. I wiped it again and reinstalled gapps. The message does not appear anymore on startup but every app requiring google TTS crashes so all it did was hiding the issue.

The dirty fix consists in choosing pico TTS as TTS solution.

eduardo, if your wifi is still not working, try this

- disable wifi

- delete /data/misc/wifi (make a backup first)

- reboot

please add a howto on restoring nandroid after switching to twrp.

thx
[Defy General] Kayant:
If its a CWM backup you cannot restore it without installing a rom with CWM then restoring your backup from there.... CWM backups are not compatible with twrp..... however on thing you can do is use an app call orange backup which will allow you to make an nandroid backup in twrp or cwm format so you can have to same nandroid backup but in two formats if you like..... this is do also without switching off your phone... app can be found in the play store or here on xda

Let's Go ^_^

Thanks for the answer! But, what I was asking is this: I have CM 7.2 installed (via ZIP, not nandroid backup). To install this CM10 ROM, I just flash it through the bootmenu-recovery (clear cache, wipe data, install zip from sdcard, flash gapps), or I need to flash another SBF thing?

Also, after doing that, can I downgrade back to CM 7.2 just (clearing cache/data), flashing the CM 7.2 zip back?

I had the same problem here. Funny I got it fixed after changing the baseband to something else and than back to the old setting.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Anderson:
If you're French and install through official channels (i.e. via Kies) then I imagine your warranty will remain intact.

If you're not French and/or you install via Odin then you will probably lose your warranty.

For what it is worth I'm not French, but I installed the new 4.1.1 firmware via Mobile Odin and I'm perfectly happy with it. Yes, I've probably lost my warranty, but that doesn't bother me too much.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moliverac8:
If you need the warranty you flash the firmware of the site were you live and then you send the tab to sat.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kfirbr:
Yes, if you need to send to repair. My P3110 is still under warranty, the original stock rom is 4.0.4. Nowadays I am using offical stock 4.1.1 french version and if need use the warranty I will have to reflash it back. Also, I have to zero count the firmware counter with "triangle away", until now I have flashed a lot with no problems at all, using a lot of cm10 flavors. You just need to learn what to know and avoid mess up everything.

Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Anderson:
The danger with the flashing back approach is that you assume you will always be able to access your device to flash back to stock and reset counter prior to return.

However, if your warranty repair is needed because the thing has broken then you may well not be able to flash it back to stock...because it is broken.

Flashing by unofficial means is always a risk, but if you know what you're doing then the risk is reduced (but not entirely eliminated).

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bawx:
Probably a stupid question, figured i'd ask. I would imagine some of the gestures are hardware based and not actually software based. I use to own a S3, which other then the gestures I do not miss much. Is there apps, or development software I could download to duplicate the s3/note 2 gestures? Text to ear would call that person, palm swipe would screenshot, swipe right/left on a contact name to call or text, ETC. Didn't know how much I would miss those gestures until I swapped phones. Any info would be appreciated.

If this isn't out already, I'd even start a donation thread if anyone would be interested in creating this. If this would be a popular idea, send some replies.

Thanks.

i'm loving this device with the exception of the fulltime fear of breaking it, LOL

if these functions can be ported, i'd gladly donate also.

i have a feeling its embedded in the touchwiz framework though.

i imagine the palm to swipe screenshot feature might be able to be replicated in a separate app.

but i'm guessing the swipe contact name to call/text is touchwiz only.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XpLoDWilD:
You can't swipe to call or text in stock contacts app as the app is made out of scrollable tabs.

These features were once submitted to cyanogen mod, but rejected because it caused more troubles than actual solutions. They're (we're) really careful when it comes to bloatware.

Disclaimer:

I'm not responsible for any damage of your device that may occur.

Prerequisites:

It's tested with tezet's builds and should also work with stock kernel. If not, please notify me and I will upload other versions.

For czechop's builds I added special files because the build uses a different kernel than tezet's. You do not break something if you install the wrong version, it just won't work. :p

You need CWM or TWRP of course...

Difference between the zip-files:

...active.zip: ...activates the governor on every boot.

...inactive.zip: ...installs the governor but you must choose it in settings.

You can (de-)activate the governor on boot by installing the corresponding version.

Information for users:

Boot to CWM/TWRP and flash the zip, that's it.

Information for devs:

You can pass parameter to the module. Read 99boostedASS. The values are sorted alphabetically:

awake_ideal_freq
down_rate_us
max_cpu_load
min_cpu_load
ramp_down_step
ramp_up_step
sample_rate_jiffies
sleep_ideal_freq
sleep_wakeup_freq
up_rate_us

If you want to change values, change them in 99boostedASS. If you want to use standard values of boostedASSv2 just leave the parameters away oder change the ones you want to be standard to negative values.

boostedASSv2 is a modified smartASSv2 so I think it is not worth investigating in smartASSv2. If you can name good arguments for smartASSv2 I might look at it.

Open "Settings/Phone Info". If it shows that you are using kernel 2.6.32.9 it should work. I would recommend an backup though. If it does not work please tell me which kernel you are using and I will upload a version for you.

Great to hear! Besides, it is not an app, it is a governor...;)
