[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheeezy:
Thanks for your reply !

because no one answered i was afraid and am downloading stock 4.1.2 :)

Ok, if thats the way 4.2 works then i have to deal with it.

But there are now 2 partition is there a chance to get rid of that ? ( pic included )

Other thing is, can i delete everything under "data/media" this is the path for my old things like

apps, music, pics etc. ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
well, what you could do, if you are still rooted, backup your data & apps etc. with Titanium, copy the backups to your external sd and format your system & internal sd. That way you would start from scratch and you could flash a 4.2 rom. or you go into each folder and manually remove the once that are not necessary or double.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheeezy:
what makes me wonder is that i dont have any extern sd cards.

i dont understand why there is this partition anyway, cause i only got my 16GB internal storage.

but then again, cant i simply delete the whole media folder and save time going trough every singl folder ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The answer was in Link 1, but you had to read the whole page.

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

Its not a partition. Its a different data structure.

It basically changes sdcard from data/media into data/media/0.

When you go to 4.2, Manually move everything excep obb and legacy into /0 (broswe to data/media with root explorer or any file manager with root permissions).

When you go back to 4.1.2, move it back in the same way. It's really easy

I have a Samsung I987 Captivate. It was running SlimRom 4.2.2 and running fine. It started acting up by showing that the battery was dead. I plugged it into the charger and it immediately said it was half charged. I rebooted it and that s when it all went to hell. I got into clockworkmod and cleared dalvak and cache. At this point I rebooted but it still wasn't acting right. At this point I don't know what happened so I couldn't get into clockworkmod but I could get into download mode with a jig. I used Adam's I897UCKK4 Stock, Wipe, with options to install Bootloaders, Param,and Re-partition-One-Click.jar file which did it's thing and upon a reboot showed this on the screen and that is where it's at. The phone boots to the boot screen and then reboots. I have tryed searching on XDA and Google and haven't come up with a fix other than maybe a jtag at which point the phone isn't worth fixing.

[Motorola Atrix 2] NIS1169:
Hey all.

I just recently saw the light and came over to android from the iPhone 4s! I found a great deal on a used Atrix 2 and have been very happy with it so far. I have already rooted my device and have installed bootstrap. I've been reading up on all the custom ROMs and want to try a few - specifically Paranoidandroid, CM10.1, miui, numa and CM10 - hence the need for BMM.

I've already downloaded and purchases Titanium Backup and read up how to use it to back up my apps, their settings, wifi settings, bookmarks, etc.

I have figured out my next steps are to back up my apps and install paranoidandroid (because it comes with BMM). There are great instructions out there on how to dual boot and install another custom ROM, so I'm pretty comfortable there.

However, I want to be able to boot into the stock ROM as well - just in case (I'm paranoid like that - no pun intended :silly:). I have not been able to find out much information on how to dual boot with the stock rom - which is the reason for this post.

I've already done a full backup with bootstrap, so I'm good there. I've downloaded RSDLite and the fxz as well as read up how to recover if I run into troubles.

Can someone explain to me how to install the stock ROM in BMM?

Thanks for everyone's help and a special THANK YOU to all the developers!!

[Motorola Atrix 2] NIS1169:
How to remove bootstrap from Atrix 2

Ok,

After doing some research, I found out the following. Could someone please confirm these steps - I don't want to brick and/or bootloop my phone.

1 - Uninstall bookstrap.apk via settings > apps > atrix 2 bootstrapper > uninstall

2 - Delete file /system/bin/logwrapper

3 - Rename file /system/bin/logwrapper.bin to /system/bin/logwrapper

4 - Delete file /system/bin/hijack

5 - reboot * ^

* NOTE: all the research I've done mentions:

- deleting file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode and then

- renaming file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode.bin to /system/bin/mot_boot_mode.

However, I don't have a mot_boot_mode.bin. As I understand it, those of us on Atrix 2 do not have a mot_boot_mode.bin because our bootloader has not been cracked, and we can't boot directly into bootstrap. The .bin file is the original file that is backed up when bootstrapper is first installed. As such, you DO NOT want to delete mot_boot_mode, because it is the original file and is needed to boot. Can someone please confirm my thinking on this?

^ NOTE2: one post mentions deleting directory /preinstall/recovery

However, I do not have this directory. I just have /preinstall/ and it is empty. I'm assuming I can just leave this alone. Again, please confirm?

For steps 2 through 4, it is recommended to use RootExplorer, but I've also read that you can use ES File Explorer. I currently have ES File Explorer - can someone confirm that I can use this as well.

For reference, this is where I got my information:

http://theunlockr.com/2012/01/24/how-to-install-bootstrap-recovery-on-the-motorola-droid-razr/

http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-rs-guides/13507-how-install-remove-bootstrap-recovery.html

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1727884&page=2

All three sites above have to do with the droid razr, which is why I want conformation from those that are more knowledgeable than me on the Atrix 2.

Thanks again for everyone's help! :good:

BMM Options for Stock ROM

Ok,

I did it! I removed bootstrap and installed BMM...now I'm afraid to reboot!

I'm looking BMM > Manager > Systems > System 1 and the following boot options are all "ON"

- Custom kernel (2nd-boot)

- Custom kernel (kexec)

- Custom init (2nd-init)

- Insecure adb

Since I want to leave the stock ROM on System 1, do I want to turn all of these options "OFF"? I would think so since the custom ROM doesn't use any of these.

EDIT: I just looked in /system/bin/ and I don't see "hijack". I see logwrapper and logwrapper.bin though.

I Installed boot menu manager from Google Play and launched it (v0.3.4), then clicked on "Installer", then Install. I saw the message "fixing permissions & hijack" fly across near the end, and got the message "A system menu choices will be displayed during boot process."

So I guess everything is ok? This version is unlike v0.2.x and doesn't show you what has been installed successfully and what hasn't with checkmarks.

The lack of hijack in /system/bin/ really concerns me....

EDIT2: So I found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2115715&highlight=0+3+4

And modified the recovery.fstab as directed in OP. However, it still does not answer my previous questions.

Thoughts?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Scott:
You know I bought this phone on the premise that even if loaded with bloat the Snapdragon processor in here should be enough to handle it and still provide seamless screen transitions, etc.

Sadly it seems that this phone is laggy. At times when screen transitions it will "stutter" or otherwise "hesitate" causing a poor user experience.

So I did tweak my ROM up some, disabled most of the bloat and the experience is now what I would have expected from it stock.

I also understand that I am coming from my own tweaked ROMS on other high end devices but I just expected more from this.

What do you all think? What phone did you come from?

Exactly, its the same as an S3 with 1/2 the processing power.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] surge27:

Stock Note 2 smashes this. Im hoping if/when the bootloader gets unlocked, scrosler and other devs can make this GS4 into what its meant to be...a beastly device.

For now...its tolerable but its bad now because I expected more from a flagship phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ovoxo.:
Hey Scrosler, loved your One X roms! As far as the lag goes, it does definitely seem that my S3 was faster. It's made it hell deciding on whether I should keep my S4 or HTC One, since I was going to originally take the One back. Aside from the stuff you probably did already, try disabling the lock screen animation as well as disabling the home button from accessing S Voice (double click the Home button, then go to settings to disable). These are the two things that seemed to have helped the most with lag issues. Still not perfect by any means, but it's much improved. Now if I could just do something about the damn keyboard lag..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
What about gaming. My girlfriend has the s4 and we did a head to head comparison of vice city and her one ran it smoother. That makes no sense to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Jooosty:
My wife is not experiencing any of this prolonged lag. Consider us lucky. Ours is pretty solid. The first time I did notice lag was while unlocking the phone with the "majestic twinkle" effect. It did it intermittently. Turned that effect off. Now unlocks smooth. Also turned off all transitions. Much better. Theres no stutters or lag spikes. Its pretty darn good. For a stock experience we are satisfied. If Scot does decide to develop for this phone I am confident it will be CleanRommed.

Comparing it to my Note 2 running cleanROM is totally unfair though (:

Same thing here I'm used to using my own ROMs, so there is that adjustment

But Scott as you know there is only so much that can be done with a ROM at the end of the day Samsung will have to adjust some things which then gives us a better base to work from, I'm sticking with this one till nexus 5 is out

Just my 2 cents
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Scott:
I will tell you this...

I had both and the One is 10x more smooth. Thats why I felt let down with this phone. I have to shut off / freeze damn near everything to get acceptable performance out of it. I know in time Samsung will improve but I am dealing wiht the here and now...

Thats what I am saying, stock Note II blows this away but the benchmarks are just the opposite.

Yeah, I tweaked it pretty hard, minor stuff like build pror, caching, etc. Similiar to what I would do if I had a ROM built around it but... still..

Yep, I am sure of it. I dont think Samsung has the experience in building with 4.2.2...

Yeah, but you turned off the cool parts which I like. I always set my transistions to 50%, even in my ROMS but I wont turn them off. The twinkle affect should cause stutter after its done. I see lag just backing out of the Play Store to the desktop it will sometimes stutter. Not just the occasional lock screen lag in which I know you are referring to.

lol, I guess in a way I feel bad... But i never told anyone to buy the phone I do :crying:

I really dont know if I am going to keep this one. Its a whole differnt carrier, and a whole new line that I really dont need. And with the current level of performance its hard to justify keeping it.

This is why I started the thread. To see if it was me and my expectations or if the phone really is laggy.... And from the feedback, its laggy, its not just me.

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You took the words out of my mouth!!!

Well see...

See. You too, huh?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Scott:
Yes, I totally agree and I think its Samsung lack of experience with Snapdragon on 4.2.2.

I have Nexus 10 which is not as powerful as this phone but its a Sammy processor and there is ZERO lag with dual cores at 1.4 or is it 1.5 GHZ. And thats at nearly 4x the pixels that this has.

I was just expecting this thing to scream when I first got it...
