As long as you use the angelROM for the Verizon Galaxy Note 2 Development section you will be fine. After unlocking the bootloader via Adam's process you should have TWRP recovery, which will allow you to fladh the rom.

Download the rom to either your internal storage or your external storage.

Extra: from what I have been told flashing modem's (new radios) that leak will screw up the current ROM you are using. So if new radios leak anytime soon and you are still running the sd card swap you will need to undue that if you plan to flash them.

Extra 2: I can't vouch for it myself because I'm having my own problems after undoing the zip file i shared, but I know undoing the zip is as easy as using root explorer to delete the alteration in the init.d file under etc, so theres that.

Tl; dr: after you unlock the bootloder you are good to run the swap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ducksFANjason:
Great, thanks again for all your help! I'll give it a go tonight. I'm actually fairly techie and have hacked many devices in the past, but I feel like modding Android devices is probably one of the toughest yet. There are just so many variations of rom builds and hacks, coupled with the confusion of WAY too many android devices and specifics for different carriers... It's hard keeping everything straight. Thanks again! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] giovonniAndroid23:
Omg this is a God sent post! Ok so I have the 16gb and I only have 2gigs left lol,... Ok but what happens when you flash a new rom or an update from Verizon comes out am I going to have to revert back and be tranfering data each time? Will recovery recognize the memory swap? After the memory swap will I have to move or copy everything over before or after the swap, if after how will it boot if it thinks it's OS is on the memory card now.... If I revert back does that mean the OS needs to be copied back to internal memory before the swap... Ughhhh this is too much but I LOVE my phone and there is no other way I have to get this working... I really hope they improve this method

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

Also is this future proof as I won't be able to fit my data back on the 16gb internal
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rebel908:
So to answer some questions:

It will revert back to normal between roms. Thats why I recommend using the zip I posted. Again its not my work and I am not taking credit for it. But that zip can be applied to any rom.

You should worry more about losing the bootloader and root under new software because most likely that will happen.

I suggest doing a clean install with the swap, and not installing apps. Otherwise you will have to move stuff manually.

Rom will continue to work if you want to remove the init.d file but most likely have sd card issues as I am seeing. Instagram doesnt recognize I have an sd card in. Its hit or miss and in now way reflects the owners work, its the nature of the beast unfortunately.

Hope that helps

EDIT: The zip isnt rom specific, whereas angelROM is specifically for that rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] giovonniAndroid23:
Ok so when those custom ROM's have an update that requires it to boot into recovery am I going to have to revert back or will the recovery recognize that the memory has been switched and apply whatever update like normal inside of recovery? Thanks for your help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rebel908:
Lets say you use cyanogen right? And a new version of the rom comes out. It will recognize whatever is currently your external and internal, but when you flash a new rom it will revert back to original paths.

EDIT: This doesn't apply to the angelROMs that have the switch pre applied
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] giovonniAndroid23:
Ok last question when I wipe data does it still keep the switch or revert back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rebel908:
That I am unsure of. Because data wipes everything I believe it would get rid of the init.d file so it woukd revert back to normal, but I'm not 100% sure on that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ducksFANjason:
Ok, so I followed the steps I detailed in my OP and everything went pretty well. I'm running angelROM v4 and wanted to update to the v6 that was posted but I'm unable to boot back into recovery mode now... After initially unlocking, I made a nandroid backup in TWRP, but now I can't seem to get back into recovery mode. I power off and hold volume - & power but the phone just boots back up normally. Is there something I'm missing here? Does flashing a new rom remove the TWRP recovery option or something?

Never mind. I apologize if I wasted anyone's time with this. I figured out I can reboot into recovery mode by using Rom Toolbox. I just figured there would be a shortcut that would allow me to do it without it also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] giovonniAndroid23:
Ok so your not able to use the power + up key combination like normal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ducksFANjason:
You know, I never saw in any of my searching any indication that "volume + & power" was the correct key combination to boot to recovery. Everything I found said that to boot into recovery mode in TWRP, you need to use "volume - & power", not volume +. I'll give that a go. Thanks!

By the way, I'm just about ready to give up on this whole memory swap mod thing. Has anyone gotten it working without issues? The angelROM I posted about earlier worked but when apps were installed they didn't get allocated to the correct memory. For example, I first attempted to install some of my backups from Titanium Backup Pro, and when I did that, the apps installed to the (switched) "card" memory. Which, of course, is pointless, since the whole idea is to get them to install on the external sd card so the device can hold more apps. I initially figured this was probably a limitation with restoring apps in Titanium Backup, so I tested installing some apps directly from the google play store. When I did that, those apps ended up taking up memory on BOTH storage locations. Example: EXT MEM had 10 GB and INT MEM had 4 GB before I installed a 1 GB app. AFTER installing that app, my EXT MEM had 9 GB and my INT MEM had 3 GB.

At that point I figured it was probably an issue with the angelROM itself so I ditched it and moved on to Bean's Revision 4 (which I like the look of more anyway). That happens to have a "memory swap" option so I enabled that and I'm getting the EXACT same issues. So my question is this: has anyone been able to use the memory swap mod and install apps on the external sd card WITHOUT the app taking up equal space on the internal storage? If so, what did you do to get it to work?

P.S. I'd post these questions in the angelROM thread or bean's revision 4 thread, but being new here, my post count is still too low to ask questions on the development boards. Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fary1337:
Hello xda community,

i have a special problem with my phone.

My Phone:

Galaxy S GT-i9000

Installed ROM: cyanogenmod 10.1 (build from the 22.12.)

CWM version: v6.0.2.5

Before i had the problem my phone did it's job very well, it worked without any problems.

How did i get it?

I was in CWM and klicked "partition sdcard". (Big mistake =/)

The Problem:

From there on my device didn't boot anymore when i klicked the "reboot system now". I simply landed in CWM over and over.

What did i already try to fix it?

Wiped all data, chaches with cwm.

Formatted sdcard and all others in cwm.

As i tried to flash my rom that i had before (cyanogenmod 10.1) - I got an Error: Status 0. Installation aborted.

My Question: How can i get my phone running again?

I would be very happy if you could provide me with some simple information about how i can fix my problem.

Thank you.

Hey;

So I've never encountered this problem so I don't really know how to help properly (but I'm sure there's some wonderful people on these forums who will be able to help you)...

But can you get into download mode? If you can, then try flashing in stock 2.3.6 XXJW4. See if that goes without any problems.

(Don't forget to flash in dbsdata.rfs.tar because of different data partitions between stock 2.3.6 and CM10.1)

If it does work fine, then sweet, reroot, reflash in CM10.1, and remember not to press "Partition SD" next time ;)

If it doesn't work, sorry but I don't know how to help beyond there...

Thanks a lot.

After some google results i got to this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494493

I walked through it, flashed stock with odin. And then went back to cm 10.1.

PS: This had a little side effekt, i couldn't mount my external sd since ics because i "bricked" it. With 2.3.6 i could mount it and format it. My external SD is also working again =)

Has a solution been found yet to enable UMS on the Sprint GS3 ?

Does CM10 have this enabled and does it work on the Sprint GS3?

I personally went into the market for this same reason and haven't found a viable app or for that matter, solution to this problem.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
I'm pretty sure XDA featured an app on the front page a while ago.

CM10 does have UMS, and it works. The only problem I had was that it would mount the phone as a CD-ROM until I toggled USB debugging (on if it was off or off if it was on), but after toggling, it worked perfectly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] markdb77:
Internatonal GS3 can use the EASY UMS app, but I understand that this does not work on the Sprint variant.

Thanks for posting your experience with CM10.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jarmezrocks:
Try the latest version. I sent a fix to the developer cause he was taking his sweet arse time with maintaining the thread so I got sick of waiting. You may like to try my app it's self but I modded mine for the I9305 International LTE S3, so it may not even work?

Here it is worth a shot

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/43088692/SGS3Easy UMS_1.7-LTE.apk

If it doesn't work then I posted a 'How to' in the EasyUMS thread. Although the dev may have had it removed? Anyway check the main thread out. try his 1.8, try my hacked 1.7 and then if you luck out try the instructions I posted in the thread.

if worse comes to worse and they were removed then I will dig it up and post it up here for you. I can't do it for you guys cause I don't have your device and requires digging around a little bit in the root level to discover for your selves.

Has anyone had success with getting USB MASS STORAGE working on the Sprint S3 ???

I just tried flashing CM10 (Stable and 10.1 M) No dice..

CM10 Stable has the option in Settings to change from MTP TO UMS, but after checking the box, it immediately unchecks and checks the MTP box.

Perhaps using a different kernel than stock would allow UMS ???

Anyone? .......Bueller??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] el6006:
Not sure if this is what you all are talking about but here is what I did.

Using Apex launcher, press/hold on homescreen, choose shortcut. Choose Activities. Scroll all the way down to USB settings. Click on it. It will expand to show USB settings com.sec.android.Kies.kies. Click that. What this does is put an icon on your homescreen that when you click allows you to choose between Samsung Kies or Mass Storage. Is this what you all are wanting is quick access to Mass Storage mode? Whats the difference between this and MTP? Either way, your internal and external storage shows in the PC right?

I'm on The People's ROM 3.14 BTW.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Nope. I have yet to get any Linux MTP programs to work with an Android device. Therefore, UMS is necessary to connect my phone to my computer.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fafinaf:
So I decided to go back to cm10 (4.1) because 4.2 was giving me a headache and I like to use the Sony acid mod and it was breaking all sound functionality in all the ROMs I tried.

The problem I'm having and I'm sure others are too is addition of 0 folders created (one for every 4.2 ROM flash). Is there an easier method of getting everything back in order per 4.2 user directories than manually moving all downloads and new files created in every directory ( ROM flash)? I have 5 or 6 and each one has new downloads and crap that is annoying to say the least.

I hope I didn't confuse anyone too much. If anyone has clashed a 4.2 ROM then you'll know what I mean with the 0 folders. Its part of the new multiple users addition. Since I went back to 4.1 (cm10 12/16 love it its perfect for me) they are just an annoyance and for anyone like me who's slightly ocd this is a nightmare!!!

I created this thread because I'm sure with the growing popularity of 4.2 this question is bound to arise and we can use this as a be all end all of some sort.

Thanks and look forward to hearing any productive replies and advice. If you need me to clarify anything I'll gladly oblige upon request.

Hey everyone, so Im trying to flash this ROM on my phone and I have a couple of problems.

First:

My down volume button barely works, so it is extremely hard for me to install this, so I want to do it right this next time so i dont snap my phone in half.

Now everytime I do the installation, my phone keeps rebooting and going into clockwork mod recovery, nothing more, nothing less. Everytime I click reboot it just comes back. Ive done everything from using the Aroma, flashing the ROM, choosing options, then rebooting but still nothing. Anyone have any solutions?

* Can't play videos at high quality in Vevo

* WatchESPN app can't play any video

MX Player, Vevo, and WatchESPN are all fully functioning in CM7 though.
