Hello all.

I started to develop my edition of JB, but i had a problem. The system partition is about 600MB, and the deodexed version of stock samsung's JB rom is about 700+MB. (Odexed should be about 800MB)

Firstly i did extract system.img to deodex it but a problem occured. Many apk files (about the half!) were missing (.odex files were still there). I was stuck. So i did an "adb pull" from my phone and i had all the system files, strange huh? I deodexed them (=> smaller size), removed bloatware and the system folder was about 675MB. I zipped it and flashed it from recovery. Phone was booting and booting and booting for 15 minutes... I re-checked the files and i saw that the system files were bigger than the system partition.

Then i checked for a hidden partition to find the "extra" space required for system. In "CSC" tar file of JB there is a hidden.img. In GB there was a small video by samsung so i thought that it would be again the same video or similar. I was wrong. Inside this file there are many apk system files (about 200MB!). I checked the firmware in my phone with root explorer and i saw that there are many symlinks from /preload/simlink/system/app/ to /system/app/ . That explains the Samsung's logic. Anyway i think that this is a bit fail. Why samsung didn't resize the system partition so it can handle all system files? Anyway, i will make a flashable test rom with some files in /preload/ and then i will symlink them (in updater-script) to /system/app/.

So for conclusion there is:

-a /system partition about 600MB and

-a (fake system) /preload partition about 250MB to handle most of the /system/app/ folder.

Also, temporary CWM6 for JB is working fine to install zips or anything or for backup and restore.

I thought it will be useful info for any dev here.

I solved this major problem and i will focus in Kyrillosv6b JB rom this week. I have already done many mods for JB but i couldn't test them because of that.

Have a nice day.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Szaby59:
Maybe they just used this solution for the xxmb2 test version and for the final version they will resize the partition table.

It's a "strange" solution but I think not that bad.

We still don't know where is the imei/simlock data it's possible they don't want to modify the partition layout if not really necessary, to keep important data safe.

Repartitioning the device is always risky...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kyrillos13:
Hmm simlock and imei data are on /efs partition... But we did repartition the device for JB. There wasn't a "preload" partition on GB i think.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Szaby59:
It's not on efs I erased my efs partition to try (ofc. I made backup first) and the imei was ok :D

I tried to restore efs from a different phone and nothing changed.

I remember there was something else not preload will check tomorow but I'm sure that unpartitioned space was only 10 MB and it's still 10 after Jb.

Probably preload in gb was named hidden just like the file and the video file was moved to internal sd or symlinked.

I know we had to rp but I can't see much difference, even the counter data is stored on the same offset.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr01nE:
Yeah. 30 APKs were not deodexing on mine. permissions were rwxrwxrwx when I looked. some didn't have sizes, others had -1 bytes.

Is there any way we can deodex JB ROM? I don't know how to mod and odexed ROM.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kyrillos13:
I will upload the deodexed MB2 tomorrow. but as i said at the first post, it doesn't fit on /system partition.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr01nE:
I have completely deodexed it the problem is flashing. I also get stuck in bootanimation and it keeps vibrating.

Let me know when find a way to flash it. For the mean time, I'm back to GB for theming.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kyrillos13:
You should copy most of /system/app folder to /preload. Because system partition is small to handle all files.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr01nE:
I'll try this one later, I need to finish my theme.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] malamharian:
Will it have all Kyrillos V5 features?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Szaby59:
Here is a comparision between GB and JB (partition table).

There is no difference in size, I have no idea why was repartition required for XXMB2.

I think preload wasn't mounted in GB but I'm sure it's the "Hidden" partition.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] kyrillos13:
Yeap.

Hm interesting.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] cbolumar:
I'm testing that too.

The deodexed ROM boots but having too problems:

- The baseband is unknow and i can't recover it flashing modem or EFS partitions.

- I have a android core stop and can' t pass the first screen.

My deodexed ROM has 430 Mb but maybe is not complet and because that i have the android core problem.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr01nE:
So we need to create an APK which contains

Link: /preload/symlink/system/app/nameofapp.apk

Manually doing this will definitely take a lot of time.

But is there an easier way or hassle-free way of doing this?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] cbolumar:
You have those symlibs apps in your System/app from system.img or backup. if you open the fake apk with some editor you can see it.

Because that you can't deodex it with the kitchen , you need the real apk from preload.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr01nE:
You cannot deodex the 30 APKs that are symlinked on preload using the system.img from leak fw. but copying them from /system/app/ to /sdcard/ gets you the real APK. What i want to know is how do I include preload links in flashing with script or is it better to do it manually. Because pushing a symlinked file directly causes and infinite bootloop and vibration. (-___-)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] cbolumar:
Did you try the frapeti method?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Messi10:
We can also edit the pit file and resize system partition or remove some system apps,ringtones,boot animation... Till apps fit in:cool:
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] cbolumar:
yes , i'm doing that but i have some problem with some specific apk because i have a rom booting and another smaller not boot.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] blastagator:
I've tried several methods to backup EFS and IMEI and none of them work. I've tried scripts through CWM, using the Infuse Toolbox, terminal reboot nvbackup, and using PC programs to send ADB commands to my phone.

All of these methods just create empty files without the backed up info.

The only messages I have seen are success messages, except one script told me that it failed because the EFS partition is locked.

Has anyone experienced this problem and has a solution?

Thanks.

My phone is not unlocked, this was my only though when I got that error message.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] muzdai:
is your phone rooted? try to root it before making efs backup
[Samsung Infuse 4G] blastagator:
Yes it is rooted. I'm currently running the newest SlimBean.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
the efs script i wrote and zen tool kit efs backup was meant to be used on froyo or gb - on samsung file partitions

the efs on cm7,9,10,10+ has been moved to a different partition

if you can see your efs on jb, use a root tool and make your own back up (root explorer is a good tool for this)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] blastagator:
Ah so just copy /efs to a backup spot? I'll have to look in to how to restore that to GB if I ever bork my phone.

Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
that would work..after you do it, check the files in that folder to make sure it has appropriate files and sizes.

you can also long press the /efs folder using Root Explorer and it will give you an option to make a back up in a tar format too.

review the script thread i made..it shouldn't take long

save multiple copies

the sure fire way, if you ever get a chance is to have a copy of it while in rooted stock gb or froyo

is it ok to downgrade my modem from the new m6 one back to the lj7? want to update to the new S3 update and keep getting a error /tmp/sideload/package.zip status7. i am temp unrooted and have stock recovery the only thing is i updated modem couple weeks back would that cause the error? thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mort3987:
Try downloading again. Either that or pull your battery and reboot back into recovery and try again. Your modem wouldn't cause that issue, I don't think.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] timezone12:
it was the modem that was causing the problem downgraded to lj7 from the m4 and update went right through thanks for the help

Hi, i was thinking on buy the surface pen, but on description says that only works with surface pro, anyone knows if this works or if there is a way to make this pen works on rt ????

Thanks for all
[Microsoft Surface] Droopydroors:
It will not work.. the rt has a captive screen.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
The Pro also uses capacitive multitouch. However, it also has an active digitizer for the stylus. The RT doesn't have any stylus digitizer.
[Microsoft Surface] saarakura:
very sad =[, is there any other pen that hold on surface side like on pro?
[Microsoft Surface] Vdek:
That jot pro can hold on a bit since it's magnetic, but it's not super strong.
[Microsoft Surface] C-Lang:
No, it's not possible at all. The Surface Pro has two layers of touch technology: one for fingers and one for pens, while the RT only has the touch layer.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
Any capacitive stylus will work of course. As for whether any clip magnetically I don't know. Some have the little clip at the back like a regular pen so you might find something in whatever case or bag you use to clip a pen onto. I think microsoft should release a capacitive stylus in the same form factor as the surface pro pen.
[Microsoft Surface] liu2002:
a wacom chip is found in pro. But this is not in rt. So the pen wont work!
[Microsoft Surface] Ryno_666:
He's right it doesn't work.:'(

No, absolutely not. The plastic nib will not be recognized on the RT.

Hi

I have seen people modify PIT file to change the partition size for other Samsung devices; and there is even a PIT editor available here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916936

I am wondering, have anyone tried changing the partition size for I9300 successfully? How should I do it? Can I simply modify the values using the PIT editor, flash it into the PIT partition, and then just flash a ROM into it? Or do I need to change other stuff too, like the ROM configuration?

My ultimate goal will be having a relatively small /data partition which will fit into RAM disk (for some test purpose).

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Also I prefer the stock messaging app is there anyway to flash that as well.

it may be dependent on the touchwiz framework. You might want to try BSPlayer Free, it has the pop up player that the samsung video player has too

Hello,

i got an rootet Note with CWM v3.0

My software version is 2.3.6, my band is XXKK5, bought in Austria.

I would like to do an update, my phone says there is no update, so i would choose manually.

I have not much knowledge about mobiles, so always read here (same when i did the root)

But as more i read, the more confused i get.

I dont know what file to choose, that fits with my baseband, i read this is important.

My noobish idea was, i could find a file and do the update with CWM to keep root.

Anyway, i could do the root again after the update, i think.

Can you please tell me what to do and point to me where to start?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
If you are already rooted, use mobile Odin if you are willing to flash an stock firmware. You can choose any of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18978158

Or get one from www.sammobile.com

In Dr. Ketans thread you have how to flash using mobile Odin. Take into consideration that if you are going to flash a 4.0.x firmware you also will need to flash a safe kernel to avoid the brick bug.

Does anyone know why video playback is choppy on AOSP Roms? I tried the native player, MX player, and a few others and it is very choppy. Is there a solution?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
What videos you playing? In MX player, go to settings.. Decoder. Try enabling hw decoding.

I played back youtube videos, from the phone, and video I shot with my DSLR. Plays back fine for me with MX player and the stock gallery video player.

I will try that. Playback works fine on all other Roms except AOSP. Plays back choppy. YouTube is fine. Just downloaded clips seem to be the issue

ive now gotten to the bit where im trying to flash it some times it craps out and sometime my phone is missing? xD

now its just not picking up the phone windows is reporting usb device malfunction.

is there a proper guide out there for a nub like me?

many thanks

Can anyone point me in the direction on how to remove the brightness slider from 4.1.1 ROMS? Right now I am running Beans 9 if someone would like to make a zip to get rid of it but I would also like to know how to remove it. That way I can remove it on my own and remove it on any of the roms that I flash. Thanks :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WishRyder:
Bump, as I would also love this option. I use a third party brightness app that disables the built in brightness, and I hate having a useless slider there.

Once I get some free time, I'm going to unpack a rom and take a look at the xml files to see if there's something obvious, but I'm hoping someone might have a quicker answer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] OutdoorOBW:
I'm not sure what ROM you are using but I am on Tweaked and it has an option to hit the slider. Its a buttery smooth rom and tons of customization. Almost as much as an AOSP rom.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] dsb9938:
Okay folks, no fancy graphics or information here. Searching this site will tell you any of the generic information you may be interested in. I am not going to clutter up things any more than I normally do. Which is already enough.

I need to make something very clear here. I'm sure it's just me, but I feel like I need to say it out loud, rather than just leaving it in my source. At least 90% of what I give you is other peoples original work, modified by me to run on whatever device I have. I don't do it to look smart, or be important, I do it 9 times out of 10 because there isn't something already out there. The vast majority of the options I give you are from amazing coders like show-p1948 and faux123. There are random snippets from others too. I just wanted to make that clear. If you ever wanna know exactly who did something I put into a kernel, go look at the source. If I cannot get the original commit, with them as author, they are listed in the comment. If nobody is there but me, I actually did it.

So, here you go:

Edit. Im going to try and play some cpu heavy games and see if I get any reboots.

Edit. So I got half way finished with a nfs race and rebooted LOL. Also benchmarks crash aswell but 1.7 is good.
