partiotioning

Is it possible to use this rom and configure all 16gb of internal flash as internal storage ? (instead of ~2gb internal and ~14gb of fake "internal" SD card?) Wouldn't this be more natural for Android 4+, or is there any hardware limitation preventing this?

If this is possible, could you please provide some hint/link on how to do it?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] priyana:
The internal NAND is partitioned, some for data, some for cache and some for /sdcard

What do you mean fake internal SD. That 14GB is the real internal SD.

/data is only used by the application you install. How many thousand apps will you have that the 2GB isn't enough?

But yes, you can resize the internal SD by booting to twrp recovery and use adb from a PC.

Or you can even use the parted command line within twrp to do it.

I did that to reduce my /data and increase cache.

But it is not for the feint hearted.

The point is, don't just do it because you want super large /data. It will be useless.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lbit:
I mean that there is no "real internal SD" as you write. There is no Secure Digital card inside the tab, just some soldered flash memory. The whole "internal SD" idea was a trick to overcome a limit of old android 2- that could only see at most 2GB of internal storage, so if you wanted to sell devices with more than 2GB you had to configure it as 2gb internal storage plus a fake "internal sd" to make the rest of the memory usable.

Since android 4+ doesn't have this limit, it doesn't make any sense anymore to split the available device memory into "internal storage" and "internal SD". In fact, splitting it in this way has (no advantage that I can see and) some drawbacks, e.g.:

1 you need to "move apps" in order to be able to use all available 16gb (but that's not supported by all apps)

2 you cannot "move apps" to the real (external) SD

3 we are all used to it by now, but I'd say it also adds some confusion to storage/file management (the device has only 2 physical storage devices: internal memory and external SD, why do we have to keep around this false "internal SD" ?)

That's why all more recent devices (nexus, galaxy tab 2+, galaxy s3+) don't have the "internal sd" nonsense: all device internal memory is "internal storage".

Anyway, I'm sure you can downsize the data partition, but my question was: can you actually enlarge it over 2GB (or is still there any hardware/software limit blocking that?) and is it possible to get rid of the "internal SD" partition and support, replacing it with the real/external SD, so that e.g apps can be moved to the "external" SD?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] priyana:
I am sure you can expand data to more than 2GB. When I have time I will play with it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alroger:
Yeah... sad stuff.. reminds me of Windoze..

no, no more limits, but still is how the system works. Android expects that stupid FAT partition always.

But after Android 4.2.2 YES you can move your apps to fake sdcard AND external sdcard nativelly in the Apps menu. AND apps should already be using the sdcard automatically for it's large data, keeping only the small startup launcher in /data.

:?

I have just purchased a dopod 838. While I enjoy it very much, I do have one problem I don't seem to be able to solve. The problem is as follows: my device finds and connects to my Wi-Fi net, it indicates that the signal is good (and the net is an open one, no need for any password), but even though I am connected, I can not browse the Internet or send or receive e-mails. I tried to find answers in the user guide, but all I find there are generalities. I guess it has something to do with the settings on my device, but it is really frustrating, as the main reason I switched to the 838 modal is the Wi-Fi. I think the problem may be connected to the Network Adapters. When I check the Network Adapters I see the following list:

PPTP NDISWAN Minipot

L2TP NDISWAN Minipot

AsycMac NDISWAN Minipot

Virtual Ethernet Intermediate Minipot

Remote-NDIS Host

NE2000 Compatible Ethernet Driver

SDIO WLAN Wireless Adaptor

The only one that is indicating the IP Address is the SDIO WLAN Wireless Adaptor, but is it the one to use out of the list? And if so, I do I do that? How do I set it to be the default adaptor?

Please help...

Thanks

Benny
[Networking] bartman:
I only do the setup one time for my friend. Hope that can help.

If the network hadn't any protect, you can just choice this on the screen when this had been found. It don't need any setup for a unprotected network.

If the network is protected, "password / soid / encrypt". You need to setup a network card, setting > connection > network card , with all the details before you can use the network.
[Networking] bennyn:
No success

I have many adapters, it seems to me that the only one that is the correct one is the SDIO, but I can not make it the default one.
[Networking] carl_h:
Internet access through Wi-Fi

If you've created a wireless network between you PC and your device, you need to 'share' your internet access on your PC. Also if you have a Firewall you need to enble that too, for mine it was the generic sub-program 'svchost'. Hope this helps.
[Networking] huangyz:
no need to set the SDIO Wireless Lan Adaptor to default. That list is just a list and has nothing to do with privilege.

i think the problem is that your Wirelan has some restrictions to access,eg. MAC address. So,ask your network administrator for help ;-)

Hi guys,

The title might not be the best but I do not know how to explain it better in few words.

The problem is the following: I was using CM 10.1.3 without any problem and I wanted to update to CM 10.2. So I deleted data, dalwik and cache. I flashed CM 10.2 two or three times and then I flashed the corresponding gapps. I booted to the main screen and waited if my applications will download automatically (as they did when I was upgrading from CM 9 to 10). It have been two days already and still nothing eventhough on the Google Play it says that I have the affected application installed.

Any idea, trick or hint please?

Thank you,

N.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nameh:
I tried signing off Google account completely yesterday and then I singed in. After few hours I tried doing it again (signing off and in). But no luck until now.

I tried deleting the data and nothing new happened.

Just to let you know one thing (if it makes any difference). I tried to install a new application from Google Store (which I have never had installed on my device and my account) remotely (from within web pages). It starts to download on my phone immediately. Secondly - which is weird - I am able to download applications which were not available previously for my country.

Is there a way how to completely delete the device and flash from scratch so that all the temporary and rom version specific files are deleted? Something like when you would reinstall a PC OS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakymod2120:

[HTC Desire S] Dacoco:
Hi,

i recently S-OFFed my GFs Desire S (Gingerbread) and flashed a custom rom as it became really really slow.

Opening Whatsapp takes up to 30 seconds some time and the keyboard is responding really slow.

So far i tried the following ROMs:

1) Fallout Evolution 5.0 -> Nice, but really slow too. I think because of HTC Sense

2) MIUI V5 (don't know the exact version atm) Jelly Bean -> She really likes MIUI but it's really slow too, also she misses HTC IME with Digits

3) MIUI V4 ICS 3.2.22 -> Didn't boot (EDIT: Although it's a SONY Panel)

Now my question - as i think MIUI ICS should be the fastest ROM (even if you have thousands of Whatsapp messages):

Is there a MIUI ROM which

- runs ICS

- includes language pack for german (i found an ICS build, but there was no lang pack available)

- works with HTC IME Mod or has the HTC IME Mod included already

- is really the fastest available

?

Thank you very much for your suggestions (based on experiences ;) )!
[HTC Desire S] #Fear:
As for the IME you could download a third party keyboard from appstore.

Rom comparison aren't allowed because everyone is entitled to their own opinion and words like "rom abc is better than zxc" kinda looks very discouraging for any developer.

Dont assume u have a hitachi panel, check out the thread, there are instruction to find out which panel u have.

But sense rom are generally stable, cm/jb roms are hit and miss. But usable for daily usage.
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
I'm quite sure you have a Sony panel, or else miui v5 would not have booted.

For MIUI v4 it doesn't matter what panel type you have, but you would need to upgrade your hboot first.
[HTC Desire S] Dacoco:
Okay, i let her check the diplay vendor and it is a SONY, not a Hitachi. Thanks for the hints.

She tried a couple of 3rd party keyboards but the german dictionary or the handling is really crap on most of them when using the digit keyboard and T9. So HTC IME / HTC IME Mod is really appreciated.

But what i don't understand - why did MIUI 3.2.22 not boot (black screen)? It was the "official" download from here

http://miui-germany.de/wp/?page_id=3889

So can anyone recommend a ICS based MIUI ROM with HTC IME Mod and German language?

Hello,

Yesterday i got this little beast (c1905) and i have a strange problem that i believe it is hardware related.

When i touch the area of the sim card either with the cover on or off the phone tells "Sim card removed. Restarting." and it is rebooting. The sim card fits well and by observing the area i can't see any fault. It is a little annoying when i use the phone in horizontal mode where sometimes unconsciously i put some pressure in that area.

Is this a known issue or mine is problematic? Anyone faced anything similar?

Any idea how i can solve this?

If i don't find anything that can help me i guess i will have to go back to the store and ask them to fix it or replace it...

Rather than that i really like the phone;).

P.S. My sim card is new, i had the normal sim so with the phone i replaced my sim card as well.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] richardmkovach:
Everyone says it will, and it should (just download the newest CF Auto). I odined 4.3 and then flashed twrp, then a custom rom (super su zip when needed), and that worked just fine.

Note that once you odin to 4.3 you will have the new bootloader and CF Auto and custom recoveries/ROMs will trip Knox 0x1, on the plus side you wont have to deal with all the modem headache (though they pretty much figured that out).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ubizmo:
Thank you. I've been watching various threads about this and getting pretty confused. I'm using rooted stock 4.2.2 now, and it's working fine. So far, I'm not seeing any compelling reason to update to 4.3, and some possible reasons not to. Some people, for example, are reporting increased idle battery drain.

Anyway, as I understand it, even though I can't do the update OTA because I'm rooted, I can use Kies to do it. If I do so, I can still root and drop back to 4.2.2 if I decide I don't like 4.3 but my phone is forever marked as modified, and the Samsung warranty is void.

I'm unclear on how this affects the T-Mobile warranty. In the past, I've had BlackBerrys with T-Mobile and if I needed a handset exchange I only dealt with T-Mobile. If I was using a leaked OS, it didn't matter to them. Is it different with the S4?

I also wonder whether rooting 4.3 and tripping the Knox flag will somehow prevent upgrading to 4.4, if it ever gets released. Maybe there's no way to answer that question now, but I'm just putting it out there.
