You've read that addon pack is no more needed, BUT didn't you notice that it is replaced with the attached cwm-installble zip to install right after CM10?.

This is from OP

Users who read carefully and follow OP instructions will not have a problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] spyrosk:
I WILL, as soon as I tested it myself (as I always do before adding something in OP).

Thank you for suggestion.
[LG Optimus 2x] SuperSkill:
Yeah, the recipe are as you've posted, anyway, I'm too old to now so I'll keep windows 7,ubuntu 11 and mac 10.7 till things calms down. I don't like surprises like i did 10 years ago lol. I'll try out everything in AIO 2.0 during the weekend :)
[LG Optimus 2x] pankajpvr:
after re-installing win8 and installed Driver n .net n all now Nvflash working and thank you spyrosk and superSkill for your support.

i m able to fix just bcause of your support....!!!! you guys are amazing.....:highfive:
[LG Optimus 2x] spyrosk:
New Surprise is coming this weekend !!​

I made a small gui application to resize partitions as you want. It makes all calculations automatically (from bytes to MB and vice versa) and also updates sd-card (UDB) partition automatically. Just enter the new sizes you want.

It is fully customizable for any device that can use nvflash (easy by modifying its config file).

Take a preview of the photo attached.

And of course it will be added in AIO toolkit as a new option too.

I just tested the

APX drivers install script

, I made, in XP & Win7 and now I am installing Windows 8 to try make an easier way to install APX drivers.

Stay Tuned !!

!! New Version 3.0 is now available to you !!
​

V3.0: Date 23 Dec 2012

A new tool “PartitionCustomizer.exe”added with option 9 to help you easily create a re-sized partition table to flash with option 4.

Windows 8 users won’t be asked anymore to install MS .Net Framework 3.5.

Toolkit now checks your windows version and uses system’s choice.exe in Vista,Win7& Win8. In WinXP systems it will use the alternate Choice.exe (under ToolKitFiles\tools, renamed to Choice4XP.exe.

CMxx_IntSD-Mount-Fix_AfterRepartitioning.zip added in CWM folder. Install this in recovery mode after repartitioning and installing a CMxx based ROM.

Install-APX-Drivers.cmd script is added in ToolKitFiles\nvflash\driver. It installs APX drivers without having to plug the phone first (in nvflash mode pressing vol- & vol+)

All instructions and help of OP now Included in pack as a pdf document for quick help. I will keep working on it to make it a full manual and guide.

Read OP for more details and download links

Enjoy

[LG Optimus 2x] wals46:
Very useful tool, maybe all-in-one could unclude three more backup/restore options with nvflash: whole rom, system, data. Tks
[LG Optimus 2x] spyrosk:
Thanks for suggestion.

To tell the truth I was thinking about it myself too.

It will then, on next release. hmm!! Or it won't for the reason below

Edit: The reason I didn't include nvflash backup till now is that you can always have a nandroid-backup and through advanced restore, you can restore separately data, system, kernel even cache.

Edit2: Now that I created the re-sizing tool, since nvflash backup is an image, a restore of it maybe will not fit in a later resized partition or it will be smaller than the new partition's size (and extra size given by someone will be wasted).

@people what do you think??

thanks again
[LG Optimus 2x] trocopassu:
By CWM (Recovery) ... obviously!

It really is the option I use most ... File data recovery.
[LG Optimus 2x] wals46:
@Spyrosk

I'm used to do nvflash backup/restore of custom systems and/or data on/from pc instead of doing a nandroid on/from sd, that's why I wished to have all the tools in one menu.

No problem. Tks
[LG Optimus 2x] spyrosk:
It is no problem for me to include nvflash backup/restore. I will do it for all who want to use this like you.

It is All-In-One after all. Isn't it?:laugh:
[LG Optimus 2x] maxambro:
Sorry but, my devirus put in quarantine this file "..\ToolKitFiles\tools\shttps\http.exe" and I cannot move it due to an access limitation.

Is so important or I can use this tool without this?

Thanks for help
[LG Optimus 2x] kt-Froggy:
Http server is only required for the offline KDZ flashing (option 6 in the menu). For everything else, you don't need it.

But I would suggest just setting up an exception for your AV software, so you can use all components without problems...
[LG Optimus 2x] grimmyrippy:
the most useful tools all-in-one the best!!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] wals46:
@Spyrosk

I want to give a further explanation of my solution.

Since there were possible potential call bug around ICS unlocked bootloader I started to test custom rom using nvflash, keeping original LG locked bootloader and without using cwm. This way I think that the rom test is cleaner.

This is what I do for custom roms distributed in cwm zip format:

after flashing the unlocked bootloader, the cwm recovery and the custom rom.zip, I make a first set up then power off and nvflash backup the system.img.

Then, I smartflash the original ICS, nvflash restore the custom system.img and my data.img. Now I test the custom rom.

So far, I could avoid the smartflash step and nvflash restore the original locked bootloader together with the original restore.img. I already have the files and next time maybe I'll do it myself.
[LG Optimus 2x] kt-Froggy:
Sorry for a possibly stupid question... How to get the IMG files from the original stock? We have a KDZ, from which it's easy to extract BIN and FLS, but how to get IMG files usable for NVflash?
[LG Optimus 2x] spyrosk:
I see your point.

I will change the the 1st option to Backup/Restore Options and include a whole new menu for this.

Maybe I should include stock bootloader and recovery.img too. (I guess by restore.img you mean the recovery).

Thanks again
[LG Optimus 2x] wals46:
You can extract the .img file from Ap.bin.

Search in the dev forum the extract.exe tool, the cmd is "extract.exe name_AP.bin -1" and you'll get all the .img files. The 512MB .img file is system.

Edit: the .fls file is the baseband and stay untouched.
[LG Optimus 2x] kt-Froggy:
Great, thanks for the hint! :) That would be very useful. I don't recall seeing this, but will go search for it...

Edit:

Found it! :) Just in case anyone else like me needs this tool, here is the thread.
[LG Optimus 2x] spyrosk:
You can do it with this toolkit option 5 and then select to extract BIN file. It can also extract selectively the image you want.
[LG Optimus 2x] kt-Froggy:
Wow! Excellent! Learn something every day. I already used your tool for some tasks, but I can see now it is even more useful than I thought...

Thanks a lot!
[LG Optimus 2x] maxambro:
Thanks,,,I canot do it!
[LG Optimus 2x] spyrosk:
Probably you need administrative privileges to set AV software.

Also your windows account must be in administrators group to succesfully use option 6 (if not it will ask you to give user name & password of an administrator's account. At least in win7 I have checked), because it temporarily modifies the system file "hosts".

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DagrXDA:
Hey guys... I'm still seeing some random reboots even after the 4.2.1 patch. Anyone else? Just curious if the patch is releieving this issue for some or if I'm unique. (It's disappointing to say the least... I hope it gets sorted out soon). My GN phone is having 4.2.1 reboot issues even with a custom ROM as well (though less than what I see with the tablet). Luckily, my wife's N7 has been pretty good (I suspect its rebooting on her while she's not around though, as both my other devices have done this as well).
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
My N10 randomly shut off (not rebooted) once so far after 4.2.1, but I only had 2 cases of random reboots back on 4.2
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXFallenXx:
Yeah it's happened to me to.

Things that minimize reboots are removing apps and widgets that use Location Services. Disable location services as well.

I haven't had a reboot since I did a clean sweep. Thing like Maps will require you to go in and manually disable it. I found Facebook was one of the biggest offenders.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
My old tablet (Transformer TF101) was plaqued with RR/SODs after the update to ICS. Really it still is but with a few tweaks and a custom kernel, I finally got it stablized. Why are you posting this here you say?

Because in that debacle, we found out a few things:

1, Asus will push out updates to help with the issue, but being that this is a Google "Experience" device, you should have a better chance of getting this fixed than we did.

2, I have heard repeatedly on almost every device that got 4.2 pushed that this is a problem. If you can stand it, hold out for a bit, I bet Google will get it sorted out (and not Asus).

3, we found that even though you think you are not having RRs, they may be occurring w/o your knowledge. There is an app in the market called Reboot Logger (can't remember off hand if it is a Root app or not) but it will show even the soft reboots that occur in the wee hours while you are asleep.

4, This is moved to Q&A

Good luck and I hope this gets worked out.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DagrXDA:
Ok... I'll stay patient. Really I was looking to make sure it wasn't something I did software wise in my setup. (I had to re-lock, to a clean reset of data/cache, finally get the .1 update, then unlocked again). (Still havn't rooted).

Someone mentioned google voice as having issues (which I suppose could go along with the location settings). I do have location off as far as GPS, but have been leaving it on for the other two checkboxes.

Thanks for the responses (and thanks for moving this thread to Q&A, sorry I posted in general!).

Hey guys, I created this thread with one intent as the title says. To get the best at the lowest price ! We know phones like the Galaxy S3 offering great specs at the same time being pretty costly & not affordable by many of us ( atleast some ). I've seen phones that offer a great edge over hardware at the same time being cheap & awesomely smooth, sleek & featured !! I will share some of them shortly but I want you guys to start it up. You must include the phone name, price, features & specs, some screenies ( if possible ).. This thread aims to guide people so that they get the best worth for their price paid & also it aims to avoid confusions as to which one to buy over the other, etc;

Note to mods : Hello Mr.Tom please do not close this thread. I know this thread doesn't belong in any of the sections here but since we all use a mid-ranged phone that's out dated already & that many people look to buy the new ones & they search all over but they just don't find the right alternative at a pricing below 20k. If anything be reported against the forum rules, I'll be more than happy to close it once & for all.

Note to others : 1) DO NOT TROLL HERE !!

2) Do not post off topic, irrelevant things here.

3) Do not post, " I'd rather go with the brand name.." , " Cheap things are always cheap " & similar crap.

4) Post your reviews in a neat & a legible manner. Help others & be helped.

5) Please keep the thread clean, avoid spamming.

Let's start !!:):D;):cool:
