[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zaron DarkStar:
Still a bad design.

So when they advertise a device as having a certain amount of storage, yet the actual user controlled usable storage space is almost half that, they don't think people are going to have a problem with that and will want to get that storage space back, through re-partitioning if necessary?

The partition sizes weren't chosen by ME, the consumer, owner, and end-user of the device, so it is quite necessary I have control over the storage I paid for.

You mean they trade so of MY hardware's capability for the current/future needs of whatever services they might decide to implement, even if I will never use said services.

I tinker with all my electronics to suit my needs. I change the partition structure of my computer occasionally when my storage allocation needs change enough that it becomes necessary.

This isn't about trying to fix a problem. This is about being able to control and use ALL of the storage I expected to have on a device I paid for.

It just sounds like you are making excuses for Samsung. Please don't. It is bad enough that we have to deal with bloatware, but for a manufacturer to reduce a device's functionality, knowing that it is risky/difficult to reverse, for the sake of their proprietary services that the user may not want is just unacceptable.

If I wanted a device where the manufacturer makes the decisions for me the I would buy an Apple. I choose Android for its openness and customizability, so I get annoyed when I see manufacturers deliberately reduce a device's customizability to make way for their proprietary services. I think manufacturers should respect the spirit of the platform they are making devices for, otherwise they are making devices for the wrong platform. More specifically, I think Samsung should respect the spirit of Android, and stop trying to shove their proprietary bloatware down our throats.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhosAsking:
Zaron, let me put it another way. The sizes you hear advertised on TV and ads and so on are much like hard drive sizes and the "up to" internet speeds you also see; you're not expected to actually get every last bit that's advertised. The only way you'll fix that is to change advertising laws; good luck trying to get something like that through a legislature.

There's also the fact that those of us here do not represent the typical user of these phones. The average person wants to be able to just get their apps done and be done with it. Quite simply, you can't please everyone, so it's better to annoy a small number of diehard geeks than a larger number of less-technically-literate buyers. As for the "spirit of Android," I don't see any such thing. Android is what manufacturers make of it (like with Amazon). We're talking companies here; not bleeding hearts. For Samsung, Android just happens to be the non-Apple system best at hand. It's not like they're betting the farm on it, either; they're developing Tizen, too, which will be going into their Gear 2 line of smartwatches.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You're right. It sucks. You should get the entire cell phone industry (valued at several hundred billion dollars) to change its' marketing systems.

Let me know how that works out for you.

The rest of us don't like it either, but we've moved on because we learned how to interpret the manufacturer's claims into what we can actually except to see. Now stop yelling at everyone on XDA who is just trying to explain it to you. We're not the ones who came up with these shadey marketing practices. And just because we understand the shadey marketing practices doesn't mean we support them.

You are preaching to the chior. We all agree with you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zaron DarkStar:
You were helpful to me before, why do you sound so angry now? I wasn't yelling at "everyone". I was disagreeing with one person about the premise that no matter what we do, we should expect to get screwed in some way every time we buy a phone. I don't accept that. I don't even have a problem with people who do accept it, but I do have a problem when people explain it to me, and then sound like they are trying to get me to accept getting screwed. This thread started with me asking if there was a way to easily re-partition the internal memory of the SGS4, and when the answer was basically "no", the purpose of this thread was pretty much served. However, it went on to become a discussion about why things are the way they are, which inevitably led to the business practices of Samsung, at which point it started to feel like I was being told to just accept the situation, which got me riled up. Big corporations wouldn't be big without their customers, so I intend to stay a customer who cares. I won't give in to apathy or complacency, and I won't accept corporate control, even if I can't directly do anything about it. I appreciate the explanations, and I am sorry offended anyone.

Hi everybody

I found www about rom cooking - http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/tools/ - but is that site for MDA/XDA or for MDA2/XDA2, too?

If not, anybody knows about similiar for MDA2/XDA2?

bigfoot
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Rudegar:
the xad2's and later htc phones works differently then xda1's

in a way better in a way worse

better is that you can just unlock the extented rom and "cook/place"

what ever programs you want without having to change rom

do a hardreset and those programs autoinstall ...

worse is that those programs when installed take ram for storage

you can change the normal rom on xda1+X at all

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] lewskarche1914:
I flashed it on pure stock rom, LB, odex and my walkman player disappeared. Same is happening when i flash original PXA, so i guess is something with the new honami player...
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] jimRnor:
Not the honami player problem...it's your device's Rom don't have deodex...deodex your Rom ans you will see the walkman player

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] timchew:
But can't select Purexaudio settings. Any help? The warning is that another app has higher priority and need to uninstall that app, which I think is your mod.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ZeroInfinity:
Just a tip: It is highly recommended that you do not mix soundmods. They obviously will conflict with each other and won't sound as intended by the author. Also, may cause bugs if conflicted files do not go well together...
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] ethan3686:
is deodex essential?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Spitfire400:
Read the previous posts. Yeah, you need to de-odex your ROM first, custom or stock. Plenty of guides, use the search. No way round it with Mods such as these
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] greatslon:
great work! thanks

and what about walkman 7.9.A.0.1?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] MattJaO3D:

Same here. I can't get this to work. I could try again with a factory reset, but I don't have time for that atm.

I already tried to uninstall updates from my v7 walkman app and reverted it to v6 and flashed the mod again, but that didn't help.

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Paulikid:
Damn, I knew I would have to do a factory reset and flash Rom and mod from the beginning. I guess it doesn't work for me because of v7 walkman and pureaudio v21. I'll try when I have enough free time to do it.

ZBlast V4 PrototypeZ

~Remaded Sound mod, PXA updated to final V22

~PrototypeZ™ DSEE mod,80% activated DSEE effect

What do you mean by 'Remaded Sound mod'? Does this mean that you changed some thing from original PureXAudio or you just update it?

'80% activated DSEE effect' Does this mean that DSEE is not working fully properly?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] jimRnor:
Of course i hav changed something from PXA, the remaded means that I remade it from original PXA and decrease the size between previous ZBlast.

The DSEE I take is from walkman Z1000 ,and our hardware reason limits the best sound outputs conpare to original DSEE
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] Burjano:
Where is the Version 4?!

I only see in the download section version 3 razor but

Version 4 prototypZ only in the changelog.

Where is the download?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] AirBlaster96:
So will i be able to install ZBlast v4 over original purexaudio or?

Does this mean that you actually made DSEE work better than original purexaudio or worse?
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] jimRnor:
I just edit the changelog only, the v4 will release abt2~3days :)

Yes you can, i think the zblast one is better then pxa's dsee
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] AirBlaster96:
Last question haha will you continue developing ZBlast after v4? because Purexaudio has stopped developing
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] jimRnor:
Of course yes :)

I will continue fixing the problem and strengthen the pxa as many as i can ~
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] jimRnor:

Open both Zips (Audio & Walkman) with Win Rar or any similar Software (don't extract, just open them)

Navigate to System / app and drag & drop the music.apk from the Walkman.zip into the Audio (v4) Zip.

After that flash only V4 and done.

Is it normal when I install "Walkman Ultra Installer" it dont install the Walkman Ultra?

I reboot and it dont have the Walkman Ultra. But when I install then the PrototypeZ it have the Walkman Ultra.

And now is the Question, for what is then the "Walkman Ultra installer"?!

I have a another Question, I want only install the Walkman Ultra, the presets from your mod I do not like.

I like more PureXPsychoRealism from ZeroInfinity.

Can i only install the Walkman Ultra, but with the Mod from ZeroInfinity?:confused:
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] jimRnor:
Because the walkman ultra needs the original walkman7.12 to install, so the walkman ultra installer actually does the basic install only

You can just take the data folder from pxa's zip and put it into /root ,because my mod was actually the advance version of pxa
