[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
That would be true if we were talking about NORMAL computer harddrives. But we're not. There is no such thing as MBR or GPT or even an "active" partition - this is a much different world.

BTW the bootloader is about 10 MB in size, it contains MUCH MUCH more than just some code to boot a system. For example, the whole fastboot protocol is implemented there, and I believe the offline charging (when the phone is off) complete with its graphics is also in there.

By the time the system reaches ramdisk (ie. init.rc), the partition table has already been set up and the devices nodes created.

Beware however, I have no 100% solid evidence to this, this is just an educated guess (to me this would make the most sense).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamuin:
> That would be true if we were talking about NORMAL computer harddrives. But we're not.

That is my concern too.

One thing that might work is to repartition mmcblk0p18 into two partitions, the first being a smaller FAT partition and the second being an ext3 partition (mmcblk0p19). We would not need to move/resize anything else (and it looks like CWM does not normally do anything with mmcblk0p18). A full featured webtop could then be put in mmcblk0p19 and it could be mounted as OSH in init.rc.

Of course this doesn't make any better use of the internal storage space, the only thing it does is that it would put the modified webtop in the internal storage which appears to have faster write speed than class 10 micro SD cards.

The benefits are probably not worth the risk and effort.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
You can't do that. Despite it not having a "standard" partition table, some rules still apply - for example, you cannot partition a partition. Even if you could, what would the new partitions be called? mmcblk0p18a and mmcblk0p18b? Not going to work. The whole entire system is hardwired to use mmcblk0p18 and only that. Plus, you cannot have a root partition as you suggest (mmcblk0p19) that's contained within another partition, it just doesn't make any sense.

Trust me, the webtop2sd and similar ideas didn't come out of nowhere. If there was a decently safe way to change the internal repartitioning with the knowledge we have, it would have been done by now. The only way to do this that I know of is to either change the bootloader or the kernel. The bootloader is obviously out of the question, and I suppose nobody's ever felt the need to mess with the kernel just for this seemingly insignificant thing, when there's a perfectly good workaround (webtop2sd).
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Rock-Ace:
Here are the four things you need to download (click on the "download original" button on the pages):

1	Odin Multi Uploader https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwNCaWy_zhKpZlFtZVZOWmdTbG1xWFdhVG1NSjF1dw/edit?pli=1

2	Cooper OPS file https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwNCaWy_zhKpc3VraEtTNDNUZU9FM01KNG1WQkRldw/edit?pli=1

3	Samsung Drivers (You only need these if you dont have Kies installed. If you never installed Samsung Kies, then install these drivers) https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwNCaWy_zhKpVWlWY3huaTdUOXlPR09YRWdYZFU0dw/edit?pli=1

4	The Firmware Package https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwNCaWy_zhKpYXFqaUhYc1dScy1tbURySk9wTFBWUQ/edit?usp=drive_web&pli=1

Ok, once you download all those, follow these steps:

5	Unplug your phone from the PC

6	Install the Samsung Drivers and reboot your PC

7	Extract the Firmware Package zip file and place the two files directly on your desktop

8	Run the Odin program

9	Put your phone in Download Mode and connect it to the PC

10	Put a checkmark on the One Package, Auto Reboot, and Protect OPS options.

11	Click on the OPS Button, and load the Cooper OPS file you downloaded

12	On the bottom of Odin, click on the One Package button.

13	Choose the long named file (S5830DDQ8_ etc.) from your desktop that you unzipped from the firmware package file

14	Press the Start button on Odin

15	Wait about 5-10 minutes, until Odin says "Pass!" at the top. You can then disconnect your phone and if it doesnt reboot on its own, turn it on.

Very Important: As soon as your phone loads, do a factory reset to avoid bootloop. Go into the Settings App, choose Privacy, and then reset the phone. This will complete the process and your phone will be back to an "out of the box" condition. :good:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] loki00001:
Hi Sir, I followed your instructions even Odin Pass the flashing of the firmware, it always looping on boot, from samsung logo to boot animation then to samsung logo again, and so on..

glad you can help me here thanks :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Rock-Ace:
Hi there.... !!

Be patient and try to follow carefully. But I am afraid to say that if you have done something wrong with above process then you may be never able to recover your ACE. After using Odin method and recovering your ACE to stock mode and following the wiping cache/factory reset etc your ACE will be in perfect factory released condition. After that if you wish to install any custom ROM you need to flash the ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6.zip file. This file you can get easily from Galaxy Ace XDA forum. ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 will enable your rooted device recovery mode functionality to work properly while flashing custom Galaxy ACE 5830 ROMs.

P.S: Precautions:

1. Always use rooted device. (Flash 'Root.zip' once if your device is not rooted)

2. Always follow the instructions written by developer to flash his customized ROM with maximum care that you can for getting things done in proper way.

3. Read the reviews and posts of the customized ROM carefully to get yourself acquainted with the issues and problems of that particular ROM.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Richmond Dela Cruz:
hello... my phone is always looping on boot also after i followed the instructions... i just want to know what did you do to fix this? i hope that you can help me with this... please
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Rock-Ace:
Don't know what mistake you are doing...

I was also having the same problem as of yours but after following the above instructions properly everything was all right. I hope you understand what steps 9-15 exactly means. If you don't then you have surely bricked your phone while trying those steps.

For getting your phone in download mode follow these steps

1. disconnect the usb and switch off the phone.

2. Press volume up + Down and connect usb to phone.

3. The phone will boot in download mode automatically and the drivers will be loaded.

Also let me know if you are successfully getting the 15th step "Pass" msg and if you are rebooting it properly and doing factory reset etc.. ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Richmond Dela Cruz:
this is what i did...

after i saw the PASS message at the ODIN, i disconnected my phone from PC. then, since it does not reboot on its own, i turned it on... but then, it still looping on the boot.. So, what i did is... I open my phone into a recovery mode... i selected factory reset. then i reboot it..

then thats it!... it is now ok...

thanks!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Rock-Ace:
That's what I was saying..you need to follow each and every step ...

That's what I was saying..you need to follow each and every step ...till my last statement in the procedure. I've already mentioned about factory reset :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Reynaldo2333:
got 11 minutes on the step recovery.img..

i followed every step carefully.. lmk.. :l
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mizukage:
flashing only takes 5-6minutes not 11..if u waited for so long better to unplug the device and put it again on download mode..on ODIN reset the files,,if u encounterting BOOTLOP download fullpackage which include APPBOOT, a fullpackage that i only used is XXKPH firmware, if u wanted to UPGRADE to 2.3.6 download XWKTM, XWKPT any of that file, its the best stock ROM last for a day..

note: if u are flashing via odin the OPS file should be renamed to Cooper_v1.0.ops this is very important so that flashing will success..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] KranTi:
For Avoiding the bootloop go to recovery mod after you flashed the firmware and do factory reset and reboot the phone.,the bootloop problem will be fix..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] myabhishek18:
BOOTLOOP: factory reset helped !!

Thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx......

actually it helped me...

i flashed my ROM with ODIN...but stuked in bootloop...

then i opened recovery & did factory reset..... now it is working fine...thanks XDA..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Rock-Ace:
Its mentioned in steps of flashing with ODIN to avoid bootloop

Its already mentioned if you have read my steps carefully that- after flashing your ROM you need to do a factory reset/wipes in CWM recovery MOD; I think readers are not paying attention to that statement so I've changed the colour and font style :cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Ricky Divjakovski:
remember to do a FACTORY RESET AFTER FLASHING, hold power+home button to boot into recovery, select factory reset and then reboot!

It depends on where you live and what works best for you. You can use the map in the baseband thread to see what radio version people in your area are using. However, the best way would be to flash different radios and test them out.

Is there a way to get this app to work on AOSP rom? (Mildwild)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] nd4spdbh:
question. Does the front flap auto turn the tablet on and off? and does it have a magnetic strip or something that holds the front flap shut so it doesnt open when turned upside down etc?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] FierceMist:
Looks quite nice. If anything happens to my poetic case I'll be sure pick this one up.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Yes the front flap does. Sorry I did mention it did have a magnet/magnet strip, but failed to state that the magnet works in that way. But it does NOT have anything to keep the cover shut. There is no catch at all. You can use a rubber band if you want, but not really needed in my case. I carry my stuff in a powerbag messenger bag.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Pawnty:
I saw this case on Android Police as well and really liked the look of it, though at the time it wasn't shipping to Canada at all. Took another look, and it is now! Sadly though I paid more in shipping than I did for the case, but it's the first case I've seen that I actually like the look of so $15 is a small price to pay! I got mine in blue.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
That sucks for the shipping to Canada!!

As for the "hole" in the back. I read that it's used for assisting to grip the tablet, which I can see, I guess lol.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kitsunisan:
Don't know which N7 you have, but would you happen to know if the mic holes are clear for a 3G nexus? One hole is an inch above the power button, the other us just about halfway down the left side, if you count the dots from the corner it's between the 23rd and 24th one, or between the 12th and 13th one up from the last dock pin.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Great question! I have the first gen wifi only N7 so I cannot absolutely say, but I took pics to explain if it works or not. Based on what you said, the mic hole looks like it will be covered above the power button, but the pogo side is pretty much free and clear. Again please take a look at the pics, they would most likely answer your question.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Unicorn Rancher:
Thanks for the PSA. That looks nice and the price is good.

Do you think it could be used with a dock? Maybe not the official dock, but a DIY that uses the pogo contacts. Or do I worry needlessly about wear and tear on the micro USB port, and I should just prop open the case and plug/unplug the factory charger as needed.

The only thing I worry about the design is the side that rests on the table when it's open is the side that touches the screen when it's closed, and the tables at coffee shops aren't always clean. Maybe I'm worrying needlessly again. :D
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I have been using the USB port since I got my N7 back in July (wow it's almost a year?! lol) and no issues with the USB port for me. And I religiously charge my stuffs when I can get to a charger lol.

As for using a DIY pogo dock, I guess you can if you have the pogo receptors in the dock that can protrude out and act like a plug to the pogo on the N7. But I guess you can try it out lol. You don't need to prop open the case to charge. There's openings where it needs to be.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Well don't put it on a dirty table...problem solved lol....

For those situations, and if you frequent areas like that, your better bet is the Seidio Active case where you can just wipe off and not worry about stains (on the black version anyways lol). Or even a cheaper tpu alternative.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:

Well for black CF, you should go pink all the way. :p

Seriously, for black CF, I would go grey (when they are in stock again) or even blue. They do have black as well if you want to go with the easy route :) but again, not in stock yet.

Well the french vanilla white would be ok as well. For me and the CF, I'd go black or grey.

EDIT: One thing though DTJB. Because you are getting the CF back and Front as well I am guessing, this case may not fit. The case just fits as it is and if you are adding the dbrand back, it may be too thick, believe it or not. Sorry man.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:

Ever since the kindle fire days, I never liked the cases with the overlapping "fingers" that grab the tablets. They look tacky IMO. But YOU may like them LOL. Anyways that's what I got. :silly::D:cowboy:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] R832X5:
I read somewhere that while the magnet on this case successfully unlocks the screen when you open it, it will also lock the screen on you when you fold the cover around behind the tablet to hold it in one hand. Can you comment on this issue?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I have heard of this as well, but that was the first thing I had tried and no, it never happened to me and I have tried to purposely do it with the flap back.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] R832X5:
Great, glad to hear it.

The other question I have: several people on Amazon reviews mentioned a similar problem to what you described about the case being tight and having to force it in to get it to snap into place. A few of them went so far as to say it was so tight that they noticed discoloration and/or backlight issues with the tablet display in the corner in question, due to the physical stress imposed by the case.

Have you experienced any such concerns?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Nope. They may have put too much force in the corner to do so, but I don't have that issue. I would have blasted the case if that happened lol.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kitsunisan:
Thanks for the pics. Yeah, the mic by the power button is definitely covered. :( I've used a couple of cases that cover this though, it doesn't really seem to hurt it much.

According to HTC president for global sales and marketing Jason Mackenzie, who gleefully announced that the flagship phone has hit the right chord with customers.

“We are seeing our strongest initial response for any smartphone we’ve ever designed with several hundred thousand people in the U.S. pre-registering to purchase the new HTC One,” wrote Mackenzie in an e-mail sent out to customers who have signed up to get the phone through HTC’s trade-up program.

Pre registration is very different from pre orders and since no pre order has been available in the US, only time will tell how much the delay hurt.

"pre-registering to purchase" is meaningless. See also units shipped versus units sold.

This method is simple, and works beautifully with my Note 2 (i317m) Telus model.
