[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ-Tumor:
Most probably because he ordered the 32gb Version ;)

seriously I would think the other way...with sd cards it is known that the biggest cards are by far Not the fastest ones.

curently the fastest One are 32gb Versions.

taking that....I'd think that the bigger the space the slower it is.

but hell...WHO cares if they use anything like in my Xperia z tablet.

60mb/sec read and something like 35mb/sec write is twice as fast as in my samsung note1.

that really makes a difference.

by the way...I ordered a 32gb Version.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waloshin:
Actually I ordered a 16 GB Nexus 4 at the time and ordered a 16 GB Nexus 5 this time. So I was wondering.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bl4ckdr4g00n:
in both case of traditional hdd and nand memory, bigger usually means faster, especially for nand memory.

More capacity usually comes with more channels, hence more simultaneous read/write operations.

I know it highly depends on the design/specification of the controller. But in NAND world, it's safe to say the statement holds in 99% of all cases.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ-Tumor:
im Not saying that he is wrong but fact is....the fastest 64gb card is just a mediocre 32gb card. But as he wrote it wont be related to less controllers/channels but the less good nand Chips i guess.

but since 32 gb cards are the fastest currently chances are good that speeds will be ok for the model I ordered ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Sdcard are generally slower than internal flash memory, why do you think nexus devices do not come with sd slot, this is one of the reason. Do you honestly think they put an sdcard inside the Nexus phone?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ-Tumor:
well this has happened but it is very unusual especially with quality Made products.

but i think the storage is the Same built. just without the way via the sd card Format. the Chip is the Same i think.

it would be so easy if people with nexus5 would care to Test.

I dont really do that much. that is why I repeatedly say either the 16gb Version as the 32gb Version will be fast enough.

in fact how much was the difference between tbe 8gb and the 16gb Version on nexus4 btw?

but i'd the difference will be smaller this time since 16gb cards are pretty damn fast too.

probably the controller of the phone itself may cause a bottleneck where the Performance gets cuttedmso the may be even no difference at all when it comes to nexus5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceCLin:
This is 99% not the case. The internal NAND chips have faster random read/write speed than the chips in sdcard most of the time. The controller in the sdcards are also slower than the build-in ones. In the case of GS4, the internal NAND is 6 time in random read speed and 3 times in random write speed of a class 10 sdcard placed in the sd slot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ-Tumor:
in that case the sd card reader of the s4 is veeeeery Bad. cause the sd card in my Xperia z makes it above 40 mb/sec.

the internal storage though is still faster at something like 55mb/sek.

then there is the fact that you obvioulsy forgot that there are uhs-I cards that we can put in our sd card slots...I got One of those!

you shouldnt compare Ferrari with beetle to proove a point which only is true by Part.

finally there are sd Format cards available with speeds of 120mb/sec. but the sd controllers in our handheld devices are Not yet able to read them. So six times makes the internal Memory of the s4.....600mb/sec.

now thats fast. just because you dont Know something doesnt meant it isnt there!?

chinese tablets indeed have (the ones i Know) that Bad internal Memory that in fact a good sd card is faster than the internal Memory.

we dont Know what quality Google has told LG to build in. i just hope is somewhere like what is in Xperia z.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceCLin:
You are quoting continues read/write speed in the best case scenario. My test is small file random read/write which more like real day to day operation of a smartphoe. With a ush-i card inside, GS4 benchmarked at 13mb/sec and 7mb/sec. The same test performed on the internal is 71mb/sec and 40mb/sec.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ-Tumor:
ok. that is truely a different Situation there.

and YES the s4 really has powerful memory installed if those numbers are true.

now i wish LG has built in some of THAT stuff ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] KINGbabasula:
I suggest you to modify step 5 inserting before repo sync

mkdir .repo/local_manifests
cd .repo/local_manifests
wget https://raw.github.com/KINGbabasula/android_device_samsung_expresslte/cm-10.2/local_manifest.xml
cd ..
cd ..

This will download the specific necessary repos with repo sync

Then remove this in step 6

mkdir files
cd files
git clone https://github.com/KINGbabasula/proprietary_vendor_samsung.git

as it isn't needed

And change make clean with make clobber because with clobber it will rebuild faster

EDIT: And before step 6 you need to replace these 2 files with the 2 in the attachment

"6. Building CM (yay!)"

"In order to make a working build, you have to get the proprietary files (mainly device build files and drivers) for the device."

so how do I get the propriety files and where do I put them? ADB from your phone?

After this you direct us to prebuilt apps so it appears there is a step missing unless I am pulling proprietary files down from KINGbabasula's Github

Bazzan
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
Yeah, the files are located somewhere in KINGbabasula's github. If you want to use ADB then refer to the text file located in android_device_samsung_expresslte.

Or if you want to download the files themselves, do this in a terminal:

mkdir proprietary
cd proprietary
git clone https://github.com/KINGbabasula/proprietary_vendor_samsung.git

The files will be located in proprietary/proprietary_vendor_samsung/expresslte.

[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
URGENT

Before proceeding to build any more ROMs, let me ask some questions.

Thank you for your time. Your answers to the above questions will be highly appreciated and will be of utmost importance. There is also a good chance that we might build a proper kernel with your reports!

:good: :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bazzan:
No toolchain experience at all. Just substituted kernels from elsewhere. Maybe if you are leaning toward Linaro, I should find myself a tutorial for arm-eabi-4.4.3 upwards and give that a go. then we can cover more ground.

Bazzan
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
Sure.

I'm not saying that I'm relying on Linaro now, it's just that Linaro is a toolchain developed by a consortium of technology companies including Samsung that aims to build Linux kernels that perform extremely well on mobile devices.

CM 10.2 uses Linaro 12.09, I think.

I tried building with Linaro a couple of days ago but make threw me some errors, the most confusing being something like this

make [cypress_touchkeys.o] *** Error 2

I don't even know what Cypress is.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] bazzan:
Cannot help with Cypress. Some time ago I downloaded a file called GT-I8730_JB_Opensource.zip - not sure where I found it.

It appears to be what is says it is. Within it is a text file called README_Kernel.txt

It has the following

################################################################################

1. How to Build

- get Toolchain

From android git server , codesourcery and etc ..

- arm-eabi-4.4.3

- edit Makefile

edit "CROSS_COMPILE" to right toolchain path(You downloaded).

EX) export CROSS_COMPILE= $(android platform directory you download)/android/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-

Ex) export CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/local/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi- // check the location of toolchain

$ export ARCH=arm

$ make msm8930_express_defconfig

$ make

2. Output files

- Kernel : arch/arm/boot/zImage

- module : drivers/*/*.ko

3. How to Clean

$ make clean

################################################################################

Way out of my depth but will try sometime next week to give it a go with arm-eabi-4.4.3. Major interview Monday so nothing before then.

[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
That's from Samsung. It contains the kernel source as you already have seen :D

:D

Updated first post with this info.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jjchico:
Move to CM 11.0?

I feel that porting CM to the i8730 will take some time. In my case, building the ROM an configuring the device parameters is one thing but porting drivers is quite out of my skills.

Now that CM 11.0 already works in some devices, wouldn't it be more useful to do the porting effort directly on the 11.0 branch?

Also there is some news on the net about a possible Android 4.4 from Samsung for the i8730 in the future that would be a nice source of resources.

Best.
[Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 ROMs, Kernels, Rec] aureljared:
Yes it will. It's really frustrating right now.

Like whenever I try to build a kernel from msm8930-common, make throws me different errors with each try.

Oh, and on a side note, [MENTION=2562109]jt1134[/MENTION] said that for CyanogenMod 10, we can use the stock kernel.

Hi,

I have two Wizards here - one is mine and one belongs to a friend of mine (bought it for her here in Holland).

Anyway, she speaks English only and therefore I flashed the ROM with an I-Mate K-Jam rom (the latest WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship from club imate).

Both devices come from T-Mobile Netherlands. They are exact copies apart from the ROM.

Oh, I also disabled the Anti-Virus of the K-Jam and removed Skype.

So... which one works better???

.

.

.

Well, I ran SPB benchmark on both of them and the one with the K-Jam rom gives better results - however they are marginallly better.

In terms of stability and browsing speed - it seems like the K-JAM browses the internet better and quicker and it also didn't crashe while browsing - while the T-Mobile device did crash twice while browsing the net over wifi - this is quite noticable.

So... my bottom line seems to show that the I-Mate K-Jam rom seems a bit better and a tad faster.

I'll continue to play with the phones and let you know if I have any more results...

I installed FFF a while back and its stuck at the logo but its reading boot normal. I can't get it to boot into recovery or anything at all. How do i fix the permissions of the SD card because that seems to be the MAIN problem i'm having and I can't find help anywhere.

*Update*

Got it to work!

I used the fastboot usb and powered it on and pressed enter to initiate the flash on Linux. Within a split second it could read the fastboot and boom! It worked! If anybody else is having problems I hope this helps.

Grab Ubuntu and Soupkit and a Fastboot USB
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowridincrew,:
I have some more information. This is what I get when trying to move files using Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.9 and I also get the same when using Linux.

After reading a bunch, It's basically not booting into fastboot mode at all. It's stuck in Normal (4000) mode. Last night while it was charging it booted to TWRP randomly but it only had a 2% charge so I couldn't load a rom quickly.

The fastboot drivers do not work in Windows and cannot be detected in windows when I used the special Fastboot USB. In Windows, it shows as unknown USB device.

If anybody can help me get these file paths and permissions working, I would greatly appreciate it.
