aw3som3

Hello, actually I am coming by to this thread after quite a while so need to catch up.

Can anyone tell me about aw3som3 dynamic partition table resizing? like...

Does this rom make use of it? if no

Do I suppose to use it by say flashing a kernel or some script?

Performance wise does aw3som3 is useful?

Also with RC4, does the int2ext scripts work, and do I need to flash some other custom kernel?

Thanks a lot!!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Ukito:
ty, works well, ROM RC4 FINAL installed successfull.

some thoughts:

after full wipe, awesom3 2.8 install ROM rc4final successful but stuck on "White HTC screen" and reboot into recoverry.

after wipe, this ^ 2.7 awesom3 recovery installs good, ROM rc4f installed well. ty for help.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] mirhl:
Every less-than-2-months-old kk rom use awesom3

Including this rom

Just flash awesom3 recovery, then :

Superwipe zip ==> wipe ==> superwipe zip ==> aweosom3 rom ==> gapps (optionally)

Aweosom3 is just to increase storage space, performance are affected only if your sd card is class 4 or slower

Class 10 or better sd could even be faster than normal roms

And you don't need additional scripts
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Schematic:
Nailed it. :p

Managed to install the RC4 without that thing of aw3som3 recovery yay:laugh: .

Its so easy, why nobody have explainned it before? lol :silly:. For me It shows ~62MB available, not bad, I think. And total space is 126MB, Is this correct or it should be more?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] nuno_p:
Do you have gapps installed?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Schematic:
:crying: Nope. Only if If I activate int2ext.

I think the devs are too lazy to make also a non aw3som3 roms :rolleyes:

how to flash recovery

How can I flash recovery -- >" twrp 2.7 given in rc3 post " -

I am currently on TeamTouch Recovery.

and I dont remember how to flash recovery.img . I guess it was fastboot flash recovery , right? But I dont remember the specifics?

Correct me if I am wrong:

I have one folder say explorer on my lappy, which contains the given recovery.img (that's it only one file - recovey.img)

Now on phone --> vol down + power key - choose fastboot mode- connect mobile to PC using usb cable -

Now on pc - open cmd & navigate to folder explorer and type :

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img && fastboot reboot

and thats it.

Now does the above method is correct?

I am not sure because .. I guess I need to have more files in folder explorer in addition to recovery.img .

Files like : adb.exe fastboot.exe recovery.bat boot.img adbWinApi.dll .... ... etc.

Please help me

Thanks
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] trygor:
Or if you have some ROM allready installed on your phone, you can download app named Recovery flasher utility from Play Store, put recivery.img file in the root of your SD card and flash it that way.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nikhil_android:
But I am currently on non-awesome recovery so I guess I need to wipe everything before flashing, right? Otherwise I was going to use terminal emulator.

I didn't tried this and preferred fastboot method because I read that one needs to wipe everything including ROM (/System) partition. As my current rom & twrp recovery does not support awesome3.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Schematic:
I the the folder of the recovery available here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1415223. Then I just replace the recovery.img with the one I want to flash. I put the phone in fastboot usb and run the recovery.bat.

I also wipe and use superwipe everything before and after flash.

RC4 download link broken

Can anyone please post link for downloading RC4. Link given with the post seems broken. Regards
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nikhil_android:
Its working fine. Link

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

This is how I flash recovery from the post of RC3. or any other recovery.img

Create a folder on pc say Explorer.

Place the recovery.img , adb.exe fastboot.exe AdbWinApi.dll in this Explorer folder.

Now boot into recovery and wipe everything except sdcard. Then choose reboot - bootloader.

Then

Vol down + Power key and then select fastboot and connect mobile to pc using usb cable.

open cmd, Navigate to explorer folder

To ensure devices is connected in fastboot, enter

"fastboot devices" in cmd and check if you get serial no

if yes, enter

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

That's it.

after reboot. again wipe every thing

Note: If you have installed android sdk manager and have adb (or platform tools ) on your path , You can directly type the command to flash recovery (at folder where you have kept recovery.img)...

How to remount ?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] mronegin:
Ops! Special option is gone from settings... Can you connect sdcard to PC with usb cable, sdcard should remount it self when you unplug cable! There is some way to remout sdcard in terminal emulator but I know just way to unmount:silly:

Or you can try another way, not sure it will help you but anyway... Boot in to recovery then press Mount/Mount USB Storage/Unmount... reboot
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nikhil_android:
Yeah actually connection mob to pc using usb cable and un mounting it fixed the problem. Yesterday I connected mobile to take backup and after disconnectiong realize that problem is sort out!!! :)

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] mstaehr:
I got rid of that issue by stopping the Google play store and its service and cleaning their data and cache. I think it updates itself the first time you run it, so you should probably expect some delay.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] mronegin:
A'm I best supporter or not, offcoese not! But anyway have you sometime reading posts and follow any right instructions! Have you did that

*there is 40int2ext file in /system/etc, you just need to copy this file to /system/etc/init.d... + make root permission for this file!!! Use any ROOTED file browser

*and the last thing, did you made special partition on your SD Card.... Have 16GB SD FAT32 and specilal 1GB partition Ext4, looks enouth

I understand, it is really hard to get all right steps for new users, but don't scream on developers, they forgot to teach you just because of work for new releases! Just ask, if you don't understand and wait, if you still on this device!

And please, don't press Thank's button... I did not made any help, and do not press it for any, who really did not helped you!

Please baby proof the steps for me. Where do I find system/priv-app?

On my phone after flashing CM11 and Gapps or in the cm11 zip on pc?

Reason I am asking for this is because on my phone > File Manager > I can't access root even after ticking advanced. It stays put on showing sd card files.

Another totally unrelated issue and please if you can answer that. I see my Storage as showing 31 mb remaining and 146 total available whereas I flashed CM11 after partioning my 8gb SD card into 2 4gb partitions with swap size 0. Under storage SD card shows as 4gb but phone storage is a meagre 146 mb. any reasons for that and how can I correct it?

Many thanks

---------- Post added at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 AM ----------

I don't get what you mean. where do I find 40int2ext? in cm11 RC4 zip or in system on phone (file manager not allowing access to anything other than sd card files even after ticking root access). And what do you mean rooted file browser? If my whole system is rooted, now where do I get rooted browser?

I made Ext3 partition in my 8gb SD card but my internal storage is showing as 140 mb and sd card as 4gb. What did I do wrong? I used instructions in this thread (and also searched it) but didn't find anything that referenced my issue.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Duddha:
You need to have Root Access mode in your phone's File Manager first, after that you'll be able to go to system/priv-app folder and run that apk file.

As for 40int2ext:

Go to the original thread - there are a lot of screenshots there

That recovery would work fine.

- You can flash it via fastboot which is recommended.

If on ubutu, navigate to recovery path and type:

sudo fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

If on windows, do the same but omit sudo.

If system is lagging use the scripts

I have read many posts regarding lagging of device for RC4.. In order to remove some lags use some performance scripts.

Providing the links below for the scripts you can use:

Pure Performance Use the stock version one. Before flashing the script mount /system.

Kill joy

Crossbreeder

I m using Pure Performance and i have seen some differences and doesnt lag much.

Mske sure you dont have seeder installed while flashing any of the scripts. If you have seeder installed remove the app then flash the script.

I have tried Killjoy on RC4 - I would say it was pretty much useless, ( with entropy on and build.prop injected , the GUI lagged seriously) Have also tried Pure on the weeklies - to no effect.

I assume if any tweaks are gonna help these will have to be at kernel build level.
