Hi Pug,

alot of my understanding of the Alpine device is based on supposition and blind experimentation .... :shock:

But, from what I believe the extended rom nbf file to do; I reckon you can use the whole 24Mb to store cab files. Let me explain:

The length and structure of the so-called fat16 image that exists in the nbf file maps rather nicely to the rom structure of the Alpine (and I assume the same holds true of other 64rom devices) - see the following web page for what I mean http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=AlpineRomStructure

If you take an extended rom nbf file and decode it, you end up with a file (excluding header) that is layed out as follows:

0x0000000 - 0x17FFFFF = extended rom fat16 image

0x1800000 - 0x187FFFF = 0xFF padding

0x1880000 - 0x18A57FF = Splash image in nb format

0x18A5800 - 0x18BFFFF = 0x00 padding

This is an exact match to the rom structure - so the so called fat16 image contains alot more than just the extended rom files!

Errrr, to get back to your point - I think you can fill the whole 24Mb with cab file; but best approach would be to try it ....

Bal
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] bal666:
Pug,

just had a thought about what you said. The size of the fat16 image (as a whole) is 24Mb on the nose.

So with overhead of MBR, FAT tables, etc - you're probably looking at something like 23.7Mb of storage ....
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] pug:
Thought that's what you'd say so I'm experimenting now.

23.4MB didn't work so I'm trying to slim it down now. Shouldn't have to slim it down more than about 0.5MB so I'm reckoning that 23MB will be the limit.

Now I've put it on a diet I'm trying to find files to beef it up from 21.5MB, suprising how difficult that actually is.

Will let you know when I've found out.

For the record though.....YOU ROCK.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] bal666:
Why thank you :oops:

Let me know how it goes ... I'm trying to get some time to update the tool to extract and insert splash screens too - but I have some real work to do too!
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] GBird:
Thought I'd try and help out a little here:

0x0000000 - 0x17FFFFF (Extended ROM Fat 16 image)

This is a size of 25,165,824 bytes (24Mb)

FAT tables are usually in 512 chunks and each 512 chunk gives you a pointer to 256 blocks of memory. The blocks are usually in 1,024 bytes (1Kb) though this can vary (in a full file system the blocks are usually much larger).

In a standard OS there are usually two FAT tables (as a backup system) so I will assume that there are two here also.

On top of this there will be at least one block taken up with the directory structure (more if you have subdirectories).

So if my numbers are close then you will need 96 * 2 512 byte FAT tables (This makes an overhead of 98,304 bytes).

On top of this there is 1,024 bytes for the root directory giving a total overhead of around 99,328 bytes.

This leaves you with 25,066,496 bytes for data (23.9 Mb).

You may lose an extra 512*32 (16,384) if there is an MBR on the front of this, though I would think that would be elsewhere.

The rest of the space you will lose through slack space (1,024 blocks that are not completely filled by the data you are using) so if you have a large number of files this theoretical 23.9Mb may drop significantly.

For instance, the Config file is probably around 600 bytes so you will lose the rest of the 1,024 block (424 bytes) as slack space.

If any of this helps you then great :)

Hope you have fun,

Graham.

Has anyone managed to root since the OTA? I seem to be running into issues using the clock work super user....

Additionally I am curious if anyone has (or can get) the 4.3 STOCK recovery, It seems to have changed with the recent OTA
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] DevinL09:
I've gotten my HTC One to root on the new OTA. You may need to go grab the most updated version of super user. I ran into an issue where it couldn't install the binaries on an older super user zip file (for android 4.1.2). Just download this and flash it, it worked for me. Although, I used TWRP to flash it. It's an updated SuperSu for 4.3. I have no idea about the stock recovery.

Yeah I think I was grabbing an old SU before. Thanks, I got it working. I kieep running into some issues with the new TWRP now, specifically it wont read USB OTG and the charging percent does not change to indicate the device has been plugged in. This worries me a bit if the battery ever dies.

hi to all i have a BIG problem with my HTC ONE X 32gb. My batery was at 50% and i just unlock the phone and started the mobile internet connection and open internet browser. Suddenly the phone blocked and i turned off the phone then started back. Then i entered the pin number and the phone turned off. After that i can't start the phone can't recharche even when i put the usb cable to PC it doesn't recognized at all like i didn't connect anything. I tried hard reset but nothing. Then i read some threads here and try to leave the phone 24 hours on charger but still doesn't wanna start. Can someone tell me any advice to start the phone? i consulted technitian and he told me that it's bricked and that this is software problem. i use android 4.2.2 for 2-3 weeks and this happend wtf can be wrong? thanks for advices.

So I haven't changed anything on my phone in a little while. Running CM 10.1 (from about a month ago) with no issues.

Today, my phone on my desk at work reboots. Ok, whatevs. Boot animation, CM animation, get to home screen, it says 'Loading Widget' then reboots. It's been doing this for about an hour now.

Any ideas of what to do, short of re-flashing? (which I realize isn't that bad, compared to problems that a lot of people have).

Thanks :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
If it isn't booting properly, I wouldn't think there's any other option apart from flashing again.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Just dirty flash (wipe cache and Dalvik, then flash) and see if it boots. Or restore a nandroid, if you have it. Either would have taken about 5 minutes.

Of those fail, then full wipe and reflash.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] brandontrout:

The tray design is shockingly bad, and will be an issue for anyone who travels and swaps out sims to avoid roaming charges. I don't think it would take much abuse.

Hi guys :D Do I need a special version of int2ext in order to use it with Jelly Bean rom (in particular CM 10.1)? An ext4 partition will be fine for this use? Last but not least: to install this script is needed a special procedure (like mount /system and /data in recovery)? Thank you for your help and time :) Have a great life, peace!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
1. Int2ext scripts work in JB

2. .ext4 is the best option

3. The procedure is always the same:

First of all create you sd-ext partition using MiniTool Partition

1. Backup your current data (optional)
2. Boot into CWM/Go back to CWM menu
3. Flashing the script:
>>> mount data
>>> mount system
>>> mount sd-ext
>>> format SD-EXT (YOUR EXTERNAL PARTITION, NOT YOUR SD!)
4. Flash the script!
5. Reboot system
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltingSnowman:
Thank you so much for the fast and super-detailed answer. One thing I don't understand the reason why: the ext partition I crate in sd card with my pc is empty so why do I need to format it again with CWM?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
You can create your sd-ext using your pc or CWM, I advise you to use your PC (MiniTools Partition). It's safe, easy and you can choose .ext4 format ;)

Using CWM >> Format sd-ext command will wipe your sd-ext data, so don't worry about "re-format" your sd.ext, it won't change your sd-ext's system format ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venomous Viper 119:
The best, the safest & the easiest way to create a partition on your SD card is always via your custom recovery. You can format it to the EXT4 file system using the EXT4 conversion tool by PSDNA. Mini partition tool killed my brand new 4GB class 4 SD card.

Also nothing special for Jelly Bean as [MENTION=4938641]Viper The Ripper[/MENTION] said. It is just the same drill & yeah, cronmod scripts support all android versions & the flashing procedure always remains the same. I recommend you to use INT2EXT+.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltingSnowman:
I created succesfully a 768mb EXT4 partition with Minitool Partition flawlessly. First I formatted the SD card with Windows. Than into Minitool Parition I deleted the whole FAT32 partition, created a new FAT32 partition set as active with 768mb unallocated. Last thing I did was allocate that 768mb as EXT4. All partition are created as primary, not logical. Also used diskinfo on android and got that 768mb working without problems. Hope my steps are good hints for you to avoid other dead SD cards :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] gina$zanboti:
So I've heard that the 2014 will be using a lithium polymer battery and requires 7+ hours to get a full charge. Also I've heard that it's bad to keep lithium polymer's fully charged all the time.

So I thought a good solution might be to get a portable charger, but looking at some I've found that at least one (the Anker Astro E3) cannot charge Asus and Samsung tablets.

Do any of you know of a good charger to have? I want one where I won't have to worry about keeping it fully charged for extended periods of time.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] atg284:
I would say anything that has close to a 2 amp output would be best. The car chargers are hard to come buy with that output but I found this one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B8MMZY8/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Not sure if it will charge the Note 2014 but it is probably your best bet in a car charger for a tablet. I will test when I get the tablet but it charges my phone super fast due to it being a 2 amp output. Not sure what my phone is drawing from it but it charges it like its plugged into the OEM wall charger. I try to only buy 2 amp chargers nowadays. It's also only $9.99! Thats much less than what I paid! :victory:

Oh I see! I have a 4000mAh energizer one that has a micro USB plug that works on my HP Touchpad but I prob will be in the market soon for one that will fully charge the Note 2014...of you find a good one that will charge it let me know!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] gina$zanboti:
Will do. How much are you looking to spend? The one I linked looks nice, but considering it's capacity I dont' know if I'll really need that much so I'll wind up with another device which will probably end up degrading as well. The Anker Astro E3 looked like what I was looking for but apparently it doesn't work it Asus and Samsung tablets. :\
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] atg284:
I've read that some portable chargers Ike that don't charge tablets because the require a higher amp output than what phones need. I just got a good deal on the energizer one and it just so happened to work. I will prob wait for reviews to see which ones work with tablets. I think I've read the Note 2014 uses a lithium polymer battery instead of lithium ion...not sure how that will change things. Considering its decent battery life and long charge time I will most likely use it during the day and evening and charge it at night for now. I just want a battery backup for vacations and travel.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] gina$zanboti:
Yea that was my plan, but apparently it's not good to keep li-poly's at 100% capacity. It's best to keep it in the 40-80& range (from what someone else on this board has reported. So I'm thinking of getting this one:

http://www.amazon.com/14400mAh-Mult...id=1380857834&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+astro+pro

I'll probably get this one if anything. That way I can charge this thing over night and keep my Note 10.1 2014 in the 40-80% range.

As an update I'm deciding between these three which all advertise to be able to charge Samsung Tablets.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] SlimJ87D:
The tablet is 8000 mah. You have to calculate the efficiency with the batteries.

Lets say the battery is 10,000 mah with 80% efficiency.

10,000 * .8 = 8000

That is only one full charge.

The tablet was completely dead and off while i charged it. having it on you may get a different experience. The battery itself is pretty cool, theres only a few gripes i have about it. First for some reason it has a flashlight, and the stupid thing is very easy to trip on. ive found it in my backpack with the light on a few times. i dont see any reason to put a flashlight there. its not like im going to hold this brick in my hand and use it to look around.

secondly its pretty big. its an awkward size to put in your pocket, but if you carry a backpack its good. i can charge my cellphone around 6 times off one charge which is really handy. I would def recommend it, especially now knowing i can dump a full charge into the tablet. but be aware of the size and weight, this could be a deal breaker for some.
