Well, you see, your nandroid backup is useful for backing up and restoring your user data. However, to use it, you will have to flash your ROM (not gapps or any framework mods) before restoring the backup. Why? Because when we first compiled CM10.1 back in April, we realized that there wasn't enough space on the /system partition for both the ROM and the normal GApps package. So it was JackpotClavin and my idea at the time to put system apps in an extra partition we had laying around, that got mounted under /system/app. That worked, but unfortunately CWM does not back up the extra partition, and there's no way I can send a patch to enable it upstream - it's way too hacky. However, in my device tree, I have changed it so that /system/vendor is the folder on a separate partition, which is on the roadmap for a future version of AOSP, and therefore much more mergeable in CWM. [MENTION=4699427]iurnait[/MENTION] [MENTION=3727492]JackpotClavin[/MENTION] [MENTION=4800121]android1234567[/MENTION] would it be possible to cherry pick/merge the relevant commits?

Thank you for your answer Mevordel.

This is what I did :

Rebooting in CWM, I flashed cm10.1 Linaro zip

I then applied my last backup

When rebooting after these two steps, my device's screen is locked on the "Galaxy S Cyanogenmod" static animation.

Should I wipe something ?

If I have to wipe data/factory reset, will I lose the content of my internal sdcard ? (despite the fact I don't think so, because it was required in order to flash cm9+ and I did not lose the content from the internal sdcard)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Try this: flash the new ROM you want, and then do an advanced restore of just /data.

Factory reset will not delete anything from the internal SD card.

:victory:

Phew ! Thank you, that was kind of epic for me ! Your last method worked !

I am a bit surprised that nobody experienced my problem or talked about it (I did not see this problem reported here I think), so could it be possible for someone to add a simple way to restore a nandroid backup as you explained, for example in [MENTION=4217103]zaclimon[/MENTION]'s AIO thread ?

I have read a long time ago your trick about the too weak partition, but I did not understand this will have this consequense, so I think a disclaimer in the CM10.1 roms OP or the AIO thread could be a great benefit for flashers :)

Again, thank you Mevordel (and others !) for your help about my problem, and for all your awesome work on our beloved device.

so i tried bulding with those commits, and the the first time, i did a dirty flash, and it resulted in a black screen after the galaxy s screen. So i wiped clean and flashed it again, and it booted up and everything was fine for a few hours. Then it began to reboot itself over and over again, after a few seconds of usage. so i wiped clean and tried flashing the rom again, but after numerous attempts, it seems to always get stuck with a black screen right after the galaxy s logo.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
I think the issue is that they are pretty dependent on the rest of the commits, so maybe not cherry pick friendly. Also, did you use extract-files.sh or the vendor tree from Jackpot? That makes a big difference.

Samsung Galaxy 4.2 US YP-GI1CB/XAA Recovery Mode Help

Hey guys. I seem to be having trouble getting my Samsung Galaxy 4.2 out of it's recovery mode. I'll start with how I got here. So one day I was on my galaxy when the power ran out. I tried restarting it and found myself in a boot loop. So to fix it I tried flashing a kernel. All was well until I found out my wifi wasn't working. So I read up on some forums an people said the best fix was to just re-flash a kernel. So I did it again and it worked for a time. Then once again it said I was connected to the wifi, yet I couldn't actually get on anything wifi related. So again, to fix it I flashed a kernel. Now I'm really stuck. The kernel I flashed gave me a SG2 logo at boot, as well as a yellow triangle. Now whenever I try starting my SGP 4.2, it goes right into the recovery mode. I've also flashed a custom recovery mode to clear the Dalvik and normal cache, but it still does nothing. I've also tried re-flashing ROMS and kernels, but it still just leads me to this darn recovery mode.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

i've have AOKP_JB_MR1_Build-6 and its been good.

My only complaint is the ram usage. I know most of you

guys are firm believers in letting the system manage the memory.

I enabled the the ram bar in the apps switcher, and

I constantly have 22 mb of ram out of 654 MB.

My phone constantly feels slow and lags.

When I clear all the apps, and regain Ram

my phone feels speedy, and runs good.

A phone with 1GB of Ram shouldn't be slow

or eat this much ram. Are there bugs or what?

Thanks guys

[MENTION=4968711]beniamin[/MENTION] it doesnt lag for me at all even with high ram usage:) i got like 4 mb free right now and it runs butter smooth lol fyi -im running it with purity v30 kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
It's partially an AOKP thing and also a 4.2 thing. AOKP and CM always ate more RAM for me since ICS.

On stock 4.2, ram management is also bad.

Everyone like to say android bla bla bla manages RAM well bla bla bla.

Android manages RAM well IF the core system doesn't rape RAM.

So basically the android uses some ram. And leaves the remaining ram for caching apps all the time. Now when the system runs out ram, the phone will kill an app to free RAM. Sounds good right? Well, the problem is that on 4.2, the system eats up so much RAM that apps don't even get a chance to be cached. And when you switch over to another app the system will kill other apps first then launch your requested app. This whole process takes a long time as the system is now hogging more ram all the time.

The best part is the system will continue to leak more and more ram as uptime increases.

As 4.2 have so many RAM leaks,the only quick solution will be to use a 4.1 rom.

I measure RAM used like this, works pretty well. Go to settings - apps - running. The blue is Android system + services. Services are apps that will not be killed unless absolutely necessary. Gray is not exactly "free RAM". The gray portion is the amount of RAM the system can use for caching purposes. You actually want the gray portion to be as high as possible.

A picture of 4.1 and 4.2 can sum this entire paragraph xD

I use stock 4.1 and 4.2 as comparison as custom roms almost always have higher ram utilisation.

On stock 4.1,

On stock 4.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d0ge01:
AOKP and android respect this concept, AOKP use more ram because loading more App ( idk why ) on memory, there's no lag. The system will be more smooth and faster than before, because AOKP don't reload from disk app but "launch" from ram ( ram is alot faster than SSD ).

If this things cause lag, there's some "malformed" app that use resource.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Doesn't matter what they say, if you feel that there is lag when you are using your phone, then there is lag, no 2 ways around it.

4.1.2 is more fluid than 4.2.2 with the same apps running for me, seems like a memory leak issue on 4.2.2, hopes 4.3 fixes this..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] g1DDriver:
Here is the comparison of AOKP vs AOSP 4.2 ( dark and grey backgrounds accordingly). The setups are 95% identical - same apps, same usage pattern. After some time both needs to rebooted due to memory leaks

i saw screen, but i don't think there are some memory leak, AOKP team hardly work over to fix them, anyway it's possible, but i used AOKP 4.2 for without any problem, without rebooting for days ( max uptime is 4 days )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] g1DDriver:
I was talking about memory leaks in Android in general (not AOKP related), and that's definitely the case with 4.2 The screens are for demonstration that AOKP needs more RAM to begin with. If you try most recent PA builds with halo, there you need even more memory. I guess it the price you pay for additional stuff under the hood

Ive been using this for almost three months now, works awesome it remembers all the apps you greenify and will stay every time you reboot your phone,

So, trying to get root on this phone, and was following the steps mentioned here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2160490

Grabbed the scatter, read things from the phone just fine - although it failed to extract the yaffs2 partitions when asked - but when it came time to flash the recovery SP Flashtool complained that 'pmt is ready and layout has been changed'... and advised doing a full firmware upgrade. Well, since I had all the files - and I have two of these phones - I decided to give it a try.

The good news is that it successfully installed CWM recovery. The bad news is that, after writing 10mb or so, it died with 'the length of read back operation is not page aligned' (why it's trying to read back, I don't know...). And it dies like this every time, regardless of whether I use the original recovery or the new recovery. From booting into recovery I can see that there's nothing left of my system/data/cache partitions, and the phone (unless booted into recovery) gives a blank screen.

So, my next crazy plan is to use nandwrite (or something else?) from adb shell to plonk those partitions back on the appropriate /dev/mtd things. Does this sound sane? Any advice?

but then i found that my device does not recognize that it has been slid out i.e screen orientation does not change when device slide out also xperia play launcher does not auto launch on device slide out(when the option has been enabled).

Don't be so sure. There are two of those involved and a third component that's even more likely.

It could be the main slide cable (~$10), the one with the switches for Back, Home, Menu, and Search (~$4), or the metal fingers that are part of the slider assembly (~$20). It might be best just to get the whole slider assembly with cables (~$23) because it comes with all of that and then some (earpiece/camera).

Have been flashing so many custom Roms for ages like most of you..

And back to stock JB just now.

Noticed i have a directory storage/sdcard0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/SuperCharger_Starter_Kit.

The 0/0/0/0/0/0/0 thing is from flashing many danielHKs 4.2 roms and should delete no worries as now not used in 4.1.2.

The problem i have is cant delete the supercharger kit folder with 2 PDFs inside so the 0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0 also cant be deleted.

This Folder came from the 4.04 Skyhigh Rom Install I Flashed ages ago and noticed every thing I try'd it wont delete.

Anybody have any idea what program or app to use to delete these files with?.Ive tried ES File Explorer but doesnt delete and also on Stock JB Rom just at moment and stock File Explorer wont delete the folder either.

I tried out 2 different Skyhigh Roms and have another folder also with the same Supercharger_Starter_Kit folder that cant delete in another directory aswell.it has the same PDF files.

Just want some help to delete this and clean up the Tab of uneeded files and want it to look properly stock again.

FOUR easy options I can quickly think of;

1. a) Copy important files from internal sdcard to PC

b) Boot into recovery

c) Depending on which recovery you use, format your internal sdcard

d) Copy files back from PC

2. Boot into TWRP recovery File Manager and delete the folder

3. There is an Aroma File Manager you can flash in CWM recovery also, search for it

4. EASY WAY -

a) use a root type file explorer app and navigate to data/media/.../SuperCharger

b) remove all permissions

c) delete folder
