I am guessing you did not read what I have said in this thread. I did not use foldermount for this one but I did list the ones I did use foldermount for. I did state however that I did a "symlink" for google music folders. I never stated that I used foldermount for that. But no matter what I have said in the past few posts you dont want to listen or even try it out for yourself. I am very happy to know there are so many threads stating this cant be done.

Here is some information about symbolic links as I think you should read more about it.

Also you can create a symlink on an ext4 FS which is where the link resides and its target is on a fat32 FS. I never stated that I created the target on a fat32 you assumed this.

Also googling around about this I found an actually XDA thread that talked about yet someone else who was able to do this back in Nov 2012....

More links for your reading pleasure.... link 1, link 2, and last but not least one about the space usage which seems pretty clear that it does not do double space. Depending on how the software reads it, it may think it is using that space but it really is not. Read a little more next time. Google is not a hard thing to use when searching for answers. Also it is not hard to accept something works when others in this thread and others have plainly stated that it works.

Also just a little more information just in case you aren't sure about everything you read

Screenshot of files symlink and screenshot of cache symlink

Screenshot of files folder on the SDCARD and now for the screenshot of the cache folder on the SDCARD

I removed some songs to see if the device would record different storage use on the system root folder and it did not.

All in all believe what you want and do what you want, this works for me and it has worked for others on this thread and another thread I found earlier tonight.

Now....

You must be rooted....

Force Stop Google Music

In Solid Explorer (this is what I used)

go to system root and /data/data/com.google.android.music/ and delete files and cache (cache if you want to)

go to sdcard and make a folder called Google Music (or anything you want to name it...) create a folder called files and cache in this folder.

now right click and chose properties on files and chose create a symlink and give the path of the "/data/data/com.google.android.music/files This will be the target that is created.

now right click and chose properties on cache and chose create a symlink and give the path of the "/data/data/com.google.android.music/cache This will be the target that is created.

Now you are done. This is exactly what I did and it works very very well........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] krazykevin76:
I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong. I should have dug some more on the symlinks. I got even more confused when chewy said he made symlinks, that's what folder mount does. How do you have your sd card partitioned and formatted if you don't mind answering?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ainvar:
Not a problem, I just wanted you to be able to see the info.

My sd card FS is fat32 formatted by winbloze 7. Now my real test will be to replicate all of this once I get my 64gb sd card which will be formatted in exFAT.

I use foldermount for everything else though. It does well from my usage so far for the base few days and I dont have to remember which folders I use symlinks on. I just know from reading either on here or on the app page that the app does not make links in the system root. So I just tried to do a symlink and it worked well. Googling tonight actually showed me someone else did it before me.

Since you are having issues can I ask what type of sdcard do you have and what fs is on it? Also what app are you using to do the symlink? is it an app or are you doing it from a terminal emulator or through adb shell?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andy_d0:
Just wanted to say thanks for this! I ended up buying Folder Mount thinking it would do it but I couldn't seem to access root folders. I didn't realize Solid Explorer could do it too and I already own it. The steps made it a snap

Hi...

I've downloaded this ROm and tried to open it with ER2003EDIT...but the password for Radio_.nbf is not the usual one.

Anyone has tried to open this already?

Thanks for any help

Good work there. Please keep this thread updated. You can also score roms on basis of performance, features, stability and battery life.

Would help a lot to answer ppl who ask questions about choosing the right rom.

Wish this was a sticky.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:

Plus the original threads contain detailed description so why waste my time copying their work!

Will surely try to but thats only possible if i find ROMs worth mentioning.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ROMFlasherAce:
Adrenaline ROM (the last one, not the not booting one), it is the best stock ROM I have ever tried, fast, barebone, stable, decent battery life...etc.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
This Version is a bit old as compared to the ROMs i tried. Will wait for the latest ROM to be fixed and then will review it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] qashqool:
Despite being old and have no updates, the LastMyth rom by themythteam, is still the more flawless that I used :highfive:(despite the white in status bar)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
Thats the prblm mate... That Rom is so old.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SpaceCaker:
even if roms are old they can be good

as stock roms are always pretty stable they have a longer life

as for ace development on new roms are reducing because almost everything has already been done so there are like almost no new ideas anymore
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
I agree mate. There are so many good and stable ROMs out there like BALD EAGLE, BLACKHAWK, XPERIATIZD which is again your work, ADRENALINE older version, etc.

But Not possible to review each and every ROM. Further I only am trying ROMs which are considerably new as they incorporate or are based on older ROMs.

Am currently waiting release of Adrenaline Final and M'Rage. Both r good waiting to review them.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Venomous Viper 119:
I wonder why our Myth ROM, cm7 revolution - ultimate xperia edition haven't been mentioned here :eek:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
Coz dear i only wrote about the ROMs i tested recently. I already mentioned that there may be millions of good roms but hav included only those i have tested.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Venomous Viper 119:
I bet you wanna try these too ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
Actually I prefer to try only Stock Based Roms as i am a heavy user and thus need a good battery life to last me for a day. Hence i use BE 1.2 which unfortunately does not work with CM Roms i guess.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Venomous Viper 119:
I get the best battery life with cm7 revolution rom. Even better than stock !
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
Ya i tried that. Found d older version a bit irritating as u had to set so many parameters for creating a shortcut. Dont kno about the latest version. If you still using that ROM can u pls PM me some screenshots?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Venomous Viper 119:
Currently, I have modded the rom to my taste. I've replaced xperia home with go launcher ex & some few changes. So I can't now. Check the rom thread, there must be screenies.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
Sorry man. I dont review CM9 and 10 coz:

1.Had actually Reserved this Thread only for GB Roms.

2.I dont find ICS or JB good for daily use as consume lot of battery (Only 5 hrs my phone lasted with Minimum usage)

3.A thread already exists covering CM 10 Roms.

4.Am busy with Exams and most probably will buy a new phone after exams and thus leave this Forum...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] musf:
there is only one rom i find that is surpass the performance of "the ultimatum", it's the "lewa".. u should try it, man..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Venomous Viper 119:
Why doesn't anyone talk about the myth & the revolution Rom ultimate Xperia edition by kranti ? These are the smoothest and the best stock & Xperia roms I've ever used.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
I don't feel the need to pass my comment on those Roms as they are already highly popular. However, will try and upload by next week....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
Reviews Welcome.

Guys, I have reviewed only a selected number of Roms, however if any of you feel the need for me to Review any particular Rom (GB only) u can ask me to or you may post your own Reviews too if your reviews are contradicting to mine. Also you guys can post review of any ROM missed by me above. I'll Incorporate it to the main post.

Have reviewed the JB REVOLUTION LIGHT V3 ROM by Kranti. Could not review REVOLUTION Xperia edition, as it is CM 7 based and the gapps link on his thread is dead. Also the ROM does'nt have a music player. Can review that also provided you provide me the missing items...

Fine.

@ Newbies : The benchmark scores will not be the same for all the devices. They do differ. So don't post things contradicting the op. You can have a relative comparison between different roms for your understanding.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] qashqool:
I agree that lastmyth was the smootest rom ever used, and still use btw roms. Its the only one cwm backup I always have in my SD. But must say that USR its probably the next reference.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
Will consider reviwewing Last Myth. It was in fact the First Custom Rom i tried, but I dnt remember a bit of how was it. No ROM stays on my phone more than 15 days at a stretch. Also have an excel Sheet on my PC with pros and cons of all recently tried ROMs. Approx 20 CWM backups on my PC with different ROMs. However dint used to.maintain this sheet and backup that time so Gotta try Last Myth again...

[MENTION=5117509]omega_warrior[/MENTION] Why haven't you listed IOSv5 which is worth trying it atleast once. Its the only ROM that provides the IOS look and feel(atleast to me). It has a few bugs, i don't neglect that but still a ROM to be used to get the IOS Look. Would appreciate if you could give it a try and post. Resolving a few bugs would bring it out to be one of the other good ROMS. CM7.2 Democracy is also another good ROM. You never felt anything or did not try it? Just my thoughts here :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
Have tried many many Roms... Dont remember many. It was quite late that I decided to start an Index Thread to answer the question On Best Rom.

The problem is Democracy, Apocalypse, Myth, etc are kind of Legendary Roms and are already a rage among users. I mean people kno these are reliable.

However I'll consider reviewing them again but for that this thread has to wait for 2 mnths... Got exams and am really v.busy now...

Coming Up... Review of Galaxy Ace Unlimited V3
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
Sorry People, the Review of Galaxy Ace Unlimoted V3 has to wait, as there are a few bugs which I found and I feel that the Rom is still kind of incomplete... However if you still want me to put it up do Write here or PM me...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
Well, are u sure about iOS v5? I mean from the thread and youtube comments this Rom seems unstable kind as different people facing different bugs(minor ones). Plus the thread is closed and plus Aderen Lim (developer or rather contributor) never rplies...

As it is Aderen Lim picks up Roms from Chinese Blogs and just shares them over YouTube without any actual knowledge about the Under The Hood Stuff. Most of his Roms turn out to be buggy...

So am just a bit confused whether its worth testing or not. Coz all Roms here are Bug Free and Stable...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] keylocker:
You're back! :D As you stated, there are minor bugs in the ROM but i never felt it as unstable. I can tell that this IOS v5 is good when compared to other IPhone Styled ROM's. You can check it out when you feel there are no more ROM's for me to try huh! :p Till then keep up your good work with other ROM reviews. Actually, am thinking of using your Thread Review Link in my Signature so can easily point the newbies out to your Thread. Hope, this in no way will harm you ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
What to do mate Can't stay away from xda! Act the only reason I'm nt confident in trying it is the Rom has no Support from devs... N sure u may add as signature Y should I mind! Further it'll provide me more Thanx :p

To be true I still dont know the significance of Thanx. I mean i used to think its just there to reduce the Posts for Thanx, but I now understand that there is this meter below the profile pic and people are also crazy about Thanx. Can u tell me wat happens by getting so many Thanx?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] keylocker:
You have asked a question that's already inside my brain for long. I quoted Thanks in my last Comment just because you said that you would get further more thanx. Nothing much about it. Helping others is always meant to be without expecting anything in return but people always state that they need thanks if helped someone. Good for them to be encouraged in that way :p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] illusion_moon:
Thanks!! My head was spinning because there were so many custom roms. I wasn't sure which one should I use at first since I have just changed to android phone recently. I inherited this phone from my dad when my father bought a new one. Thanks to your thread I have discovered the ultimatum. I just love it so much. I have tried other but the lag was almost unbearable. I just wish the rom would be updated soon since I heard that the update is coming. Thanks again for a nice review and for those links. It would have been bothersome to search for every single roms mentioned here manually.

Not an issue mate. I myself faced so much problems searching for THE BEST ROM. So i decided to do this. Also the Ultimatum is goin to get an update. Dont kno y bt I'm not expecting anythin great caz alread so much is done on it.

1. Ultimatum Review(Updated Version)

2. Nitrogen Review (The Resurection)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] illusion_moon:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
UPDATED

Updated the Ultimatum V3 Review. No major changes found. The changes are supposed to be Under the hood but still nothing to write home about.

A very Honest Opinion. Used it (Timescape + Fire + Beats + CM Original) for quite some time and Observed

1. Pie doesnt work.

2. The launcher becomes a bit laggy after installin a few apps (not the case with v2.9)

3. JIT setting is activated by default (was not in v2.9)

4. Yes now we dnt need a task manager as i felt but noticed that the Launcher closes to make room for RAM and loads again after we return to Homescreen.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Venomous Viper 119:
In my pure opinion all the versions of the ultimatum are crappy. No offense but for me, apocalypse is the best.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
U confusing me man. 1st u said KranTi's was the best now u say Apocalypse is best... Ultimatum is fir gaming i feel and Apocalypse is good for daily use we all know. Anyways if u try a few big games on Ultimatum and immidiately try them on any other Rom u'll see the difference. Maybe their codes are messed up but end result is visible and positive.

For starters I apologize for English, blame the google translator.

I need your help to find my perfect rom. Do not send me to read because it's what I do for over a year and no major results. I've tried a lot of ROMs and I was unhappy with all of them. Now because of my work I am unable to continue to try roms every week. So far the best I found and I use currently is GingerReal-2.0.0-XWKT7. Bit blocks, but sometimes gets very slow. To make a call sometimes take more than 5 minutes. I also know that there is no perfect Rom, I just want the rom faster. I do not care the battery life or the graphics or the amount of features. The rom should allow to set up a gmail account and a Microsoft Exchange. The app I use it are: DW Contacts & Phone & Dialer and Pocket.

What do you advise?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] omega_warrior:
The FASTEST in the Block are.

1. The Ultimatum.

2. Stocklite V8.

You can now just read the description of the 2 from my post and go for whichever suits u.

I hope atleast that much u can do...

Nitrogen Rom Review coming up...

Details:

1. Fresh UI. Thanx to Smart Launcher

2. Speedy and smooth.

3. Good battery Life for a CM 7 with such performance. I mean Battery life is better than any other CM 7.

4. Some icons have been themed. Many might find this theme too flashy.

5. No good ringtones or wallpapers on board.

Will update them main Post too in a short while.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Venomous Viper 119:
Just add a review. Sky_walker is dead. Btw, even apocalypse uses the cm7 nightly as base but I'm not sure if it is the same as that of kranti's rom. And both the roms perform equally great. Currently, SGS2 v9.1 + Pure performances x = butter smooth.
