Im kind of a noob in all of this so can somebody help me out with the following...

I want CM11 but I have the memory mount error in the recovery.

And I dont want to use the fix with the swapped storage. I heard I can fix this by repartitioning with the correct pit file using:

heimdall print-pit --verbose > jenad.pit

And here comes my question:

When should I create the pit file? stock / with recovery / or with a ROM

And when should I repartition with it? When Im on stock? Or with the recovery installed? Or with kitkat already installed?

Please help me out :fingers-crossed:. I hear that repartitioning is very dangerous because it can f*#k up the bootloader location.

Should I do it? Help this fella out please.

New here

Hello Dear Xda Community :D

to be honest, i tried to avoid this fast developing technical gadget era. Besides the regular PC i was a proud owner of the PDA Handheld (Palm) but i dont want to bother you with this stuff :angel:

To get to my question

A friend told me that i could use a smartphone as an Handheld which means i don´t really need apps etc, just a calendar and a phone/adresslist and a possibility to back it up.... without using googles, itunes or some clouds... just a USB cable and a simple Programm for saving it.

Which brought me here since i read only goodthings about your Modification.

So, totally noobish (i guess this is a modern expression of my status of knowledge about these gadgets) :o

i came to the point of the cyanogenMod and i tried it.

Well i downloaded the ClockWorkMod 6.0 + CyanogenMod 11.0 for my

GT-S6500 Android Version 2.3.6 Kernel V. 2.6.38.6 and ehhh Gingerbread..?? whatever this means

To get started i read about how to root and boot my phone (still sweating blood :) )

While my phone was idle with the word DO NOT turn off etc, pp i saw the mentioning about odin something so i installed it both version 1.85 + 3.07 since both don´t read zip files which ClockWorkMod 6.0 is so i just downloaded a md5 file of that list which made my phone coming out of this state of agony and now i must confess i am kinda paralized that i might make things worse instead of installing this Mod.

Is there a easy tutorial out there

1) for your terminology what is ROM , recovery Mode etc , pp

2) boot and root the phone especially my models since i found out it matters

3) tools needed

btw i was using the search tools but that what i did for now is the result of different fragments of what i have found so far..... being honest, too much info .... yes i am not the youngest anymore :rolleyes:

Please don´t judge me of my bad english and this totally fundamental questioning it´s just, .... i don´t know anyone who is totally familiar with this.

Thank you for your patience :good:

Take care Pete

Here you go http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2030758

Short for what you need to do: after you downloaded odin , a version of clockworkmod(preferably 6.x by thewhisp) and a ROM (like cyanogenmod), which you put on your sdcard , and made sure there is no important data on your phone , because this will erase all data on phone.

Enter download mode (press Vol - , Home , Power at once) ,press continue , connect usb cable , open odin , put the clockworkmod file you downloaded in PDA column , press start ( leave every setting as it is , just press start) , then wait until finished (30sec-1min max) it will reboot your phone to recovery mode ( I'm not sure , if it boots normaly then power off your phone , then press Vol-,Vol+,Home,Power , all keys at once and it'll take you to recovery) , there go wipe data/factory reset , wipe cache and then install zip , from sd card, select rom and wait , then wipe data/factory reset again and reboot , wait until phone boots , being the first boot it might take a while , about 5 min ..idk and enjoy cyanogenmod

For more details read the thread i just gave you the link to , good luck !.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Peteslive:
Thanks Mate , i am a little ashamed that i didn´t find the link by myself but great, on the first look it looks good for me, but.... do i have to get a SD card? and if i really have to, what is the right size for it?

Thanks again :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] CoX26:
Well .. I would recommend it , starting from 2-4gb any size will do , for example I have a 8gb , they're very cheap and very useful ( you can store backups of your rom's with all your settings on them etc ... , also store a lot of music , files since the phone memory fills up very quickly from all the apps.. ).

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] CoX26:
Yeey , cm 11 is finally here , downloading it right now , will edit with the noticeable improvements and bugs(if there are any..) ! Thank you TheWhisp !

Edit: Sorry , I had some problems because I had stock , no cwm and the cwm 6.3.3 md5 was invalid etc... Cyanogenmod 11 , I faced a few exchange app force closes, I find this version very laggy (to be expected...kitkat on our phone is obviously a stretch) , apps take very long to install (from playstore i mean) , but still if you value design that much , you could find yourself having cm11 as a daily rom , I personally will switch to cm10.1 , which I found to be one of the best cm for our phone , when talking about speed.

You have done a great job with CM for our device Dāvis, i can really sense those bionic opt's kicking in.

I was saving money for new device but now im thinking there is no need for shopping after i tested latest build.

I sincerely feel that we have a complete ROM(CM) experience on our device thanks to you and Erik, thus im buying you both a beer when i get back home from travel :)

Oh, yeah, almost forgot, i faced exchange FC a couple of times, not that its causing me any trouble since im not using it but just to give you a head up.

Great job and keep up the good work, cheers.

Hi there :D

so, i just got my sd card and i am about to try it out BUT like i mentioned before and its not written anywhere.... Odin just reads md5,tar,etc but NOT zip files.

Do you suggest to transform it somehow into md5? if yes, how :silly:

hope to read you soon, so i can get started :victory:

take care P.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] CoX26:
.zip files can be flashed with clockworkmod !!! the cwm that you find on thewhisp goo.im as zip files are just updates , what you need to flash with odin at PDA collumn is this cwm(this one ! I am sure it works)

After you flashed cwm , your phone will reboot normaly(i think) , turn it off , press VOL - VOL + HOME and POWER at the same time , it will take you to recovery mode , there you can flash zip's like roms and stuff using the option install from sd card ! But remember to wipe data/factory reset before installing any rom !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Peteslive:
Hi CoX26, thanks for the quick answer

i did put the ROM on the new SD

now i did everything like you said

i hit the 3 buttons to get to the recovery mode, now strange things happended

okokok i just read my post and it´s waaaaay too confusing so let me try it new

somehow there is already a cwm-6.0.3.3-b2-jena.tar.md5 on it.

NOW (its chaos because of some starting loop happenes right now) but i made it somehow to get to the point where i can confirm to hook it up with my pc

NOW my important question is (cause i guess this screwed it up) after i used the ODIN 3.09 (btw it doesn´t have PDA so i used the button AP! (other ones are even making less sense)

Then the 2 are synchronizing the stuff....

Am i suppose to unhook the fone while the smartphone is rebooting????

because last time they didn´t stop working and the messages where always starting new. and i couldn´t go in this recovery mode.

is there a way to erase everything to start fresh? because i can´t get the fone off the loop.

If you want to install cm 11 you must update your cwm from recovery to the latest cwm-6.0.4.7-jena you can download here http://goo.im/devs/thewhisp/jena-recovery, then you can flash cm 11 from recovery

I have uploaded new cm11 nightly in which HW video decoding is working, but camera isn't. Currently camera cannot work together with HW video decoding/encoding since QDSP supports either PMEM or ION.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] pgcristyan:
I don't know if this will help, but i found a thread for a I9001 rom, where they seem to have had the same problem as us, mainly the camera/video encoding fixes excluding each other, and they managed to solve it.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
msm7x27a has QDSP5 while msm7x30 has QDSP5v2, which handles video encoding/decoding via vdec/venc not in qdsp. So they can have PMEM for camera. On msm7x27a, it is either ION or PMEM.

the whisp have you noticed the lags appear when surfing finger on the screen.is it permanent or temporary???

it's very anoying

BTW it happens only in gaming.For example subway surf

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
what part of "this ROM runs on unsupported hardware" exactly do you not understand?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] meganukebmp:
ty
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Arthur13:
android 4.2.2 runs on unsupported hardware too

then why jelly bean works fine.As far as i know KitKat requires less ram then jelly bean does.

so:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] meganukebmp:
4.2.2 doesn't run "fine" even if it is stable and whatnot the overall speed of everything is slow.

When opening the app drawer it lags (a lot)

When scrolling through lists fast you get lag.

Playing simple games like air hockey lags.

Running fine means absolutely no lag at all.

Otherwise yes all features work great and that's good enough for the device.

Also KitKat has pretty decent speed even with lowram disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ItachiSama:
In fact, KitKat needs even more RAM than JellyBean but has options to disable high-end features (to save RAM).

And yep, Jellybean is kinda stable, but also Kitkat is.

IMHO (in my honest opinion) and I think for every developer, a ROM is stable is when you can use almost all of its functions without problems in a daily usage.

If your concept of 'stable' is 'I can play Flappy Birds with no lag', well, no one told you to install an unsupported OS on your phone. With stock one, you'll have no lag at all! Samsung (OEM) magic. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Arthur13:
but it doesnt have touch lag as you can see in 4.4.x.Even with 1008 mhz.

BTW the lags disappear when overclocking at least 1056Mhz but i have reboots(before i got only force closes).
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
another kid that thinks a super low end phone can run high end OS... It's like running Win7 on 128MB RAM, P4 PC...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] meganukebmp:
I never said that the os runs smooth or will ever run smooth all I said that an os is considered stable when everything runs smooth and bug free.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Arthur13:
thewhisp is there any chance to have some performance fixes in cm 11 further???
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bleached:
You fixed H/W playback with camera still working? Because I would be interested in a bugfree CM-10.1 :) That is what I'm also trying to make, but I have to use old kernel to avoid whitescreen :/ And this gives corrupted google maps..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ItachiSama:
Just avoid Google Maps, I use Waze. (Full discussion (with TheWhisp))

For CM-10.1, I'd like to share it but camcorder does not work good (it just makes green lines all over the screen) and I've no interest and time (time is a big problem) to fix it. Consider that I'd like to finish a CM-9 on my own (as I'm working on it on my own) and than start working full time on other projects I'm not working on at the moment (because of having no time for them)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] leftkar:
Where can I find a patch to enable NFC fuction in CM 9 or CM 10 ?

Or could anyone tell me how to modify kernel to enable it ?

I was hoping erikcas or bleached could work on it...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bleached:
What version of cm10? Because on latest version with kernel 3.x I think nfc is disabled in kernel, so even if I send you a patch (that I have) it won't work. On earlier kernel 2.x it will probably work (granted nfc is enabled).

About modifying kernel to enable it, I haven't tried, but I don't really think it is that hard..

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

I'm interested in the sources. If I clone your github:

"android_device_samsung_msm7x27a-common" branch "cm-10.1"

"android_device_samsung_s6500" branch "cm-10.1-pmem"

"proprietary_vendor_samsung_msm7x27a" branch "cm-10.1"

"android_kernel_samsung_msm7x27a" branch "cm-10.1-stable"

everything except camcorder (and perhaps whitescreen issue) will work? Even youtube videos will be lagfree?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ItachiSama:
Youtube videos are lagfree but they're kinda pixelated.

I think is YT app related, as videos played with stock video app works flawlessy.

Online 480p at start are a few laggy, but after 5 seconds they works like a charm.

My latest build is done just by using this local manifest:

https://github.com/ItachiSan/local_manifest/blob/jena_cm-10.1/build_stuff.xml

The cm-10.1-pmem branches were meant for working on full pmem cm-10.1 but never started seriously to work on it. :P
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] bleached:
In youtube app there is a setting to view videos in high quality or in standar quality. If videos are pixelated in high quality, that is a problem. If they are pixelated in standar quality, it is normal. That is how they should be.

Thanks, perhaps I will give it a try and build it sometime this week :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ItachiSama:
On HQ I meant ;)

Anyways, it depends on the video; yesterday I tried viewing a Portal2 gameplay I upped and I had no problems.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
Based on your writing style, you seem 11-13 years old, and a developer would never make a statement like that, meaning, you don't know nothing. :)

Again, I haven't worked on Mini 2 since I uploaded the last build. People doesn't understand that Mini 2's hardware is not good enough to handle anything higher than Android 4.0, I am not wasting my time trying to make 4.4 work and then reading complains posted by little kids. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Raan03:
Work would be "fast" when you're a copy/paster of other people's work. Try heading into "new territory" and try writing your own stuff without "stealing" / ripping somebody else's code, as any real developer would do, Quantity <<<< Quality. Speed doesn't matter much, the quality of the code does.

Slow in doing what exactly? CM 11 is already an excellent rom, much better than stock...work on it is almost done, and for me it's as stable as it's gonna get. Only remaining things are for the CM team to release the stable version so that Wisp can sync with it, and to solve some minor bugs like camcorder(which for now looks unsolvable) and WiFi AP.
