yay!

That's the exact reason why I'm deciding to abandon this script.

Reasons:

1. It is buggy.

2. Doesn't work always.

3. Depends on init.d support.

4. sometimes, init returns the / partition as read-only, causing hell lot of errors

5. not very... simple (though its only 40 lines)

Having said so, here's something that does the kernel editing for reverse mounting your partitions: View attachment reverse_mounter.zip

Clean flash any ROM, then, flash the above zip.

as said above, as init.d causes troubles (and those random "/ partition is read-only" errors), I've decided to remove all cruft and move the entire reverse mounting process "into" the boot.img itself.

For starters, begins with moving the int2ext script to the boot.img.

the idea is to enclose "every damn operation" as one single flashable zip.

every damn operation, read:

move stuff from /data to /sd-ext (if present)

move stuff from /system to /data for making space for gapps

edit boot.img: mount /sd-ext as /data (with all the "special" mount options)

edit boot.img: symlink stuff from /data back to /system

edit boot.img(OC): make /cache readonly.

edit boot.img(OC): create an cache.img in /sd-ext for overclocking

sources are up in my github, feel free to complete the TODO, if you feel so.

: beta testing

As I'm too lazy to release any flashable zips, and its only 9 AM, here's the output of "df -h"

I think ~160 MB would be enough for Gapps to fit in easily.

note: sd-data, and sd-cache are just names for internal /data and /cache.

what I did:

took these folders:

$( bin lib xbin )

from /system

and put them in /data

took these folders:

$(addon.d core etc fonts media usr vendor )

and put them in /cache

edited init.d to mount /data and /cache as /sd-data and /sd-cache

mounted /sd-ext as /data

created a "cache.img" (32 MB) (planning to cut it down to 16 MB) in /sd-data partition

mounted it as /cache using loop devices (not sure if it works though)

voila, all set!

Note: I don't expect anyone of you to test this, and I know no one will, until its "packaged" and spoonfed.

So. beta testing.

Sources and patch are available in the "exp" branch here: https://github.com/thewisenerd/aw3som3/commits/exp

also note: chmod'ding itself was a bad idea. so, forked out busybox into sbin, instead of running it directly from sd-data/xbin/.

the only folders that I left were app, framework, and priv-app, build.prop

reason: i was getting some wierdo errors like class not found exception on path blablablah, so decided to skip it for this.

note: any "sense" modders, who fork out the app folder are welcome to provide their suggestions. in return I provide you all the busybox utils to work with :P

what I plan to do, in the future: Get micro modular PA's Gapps installed in pico, with this method

find a way to move out the app, and priv-app folder.

Loads of thanks it helped.

I am done with compiling kernel, I use lirokoa's source for ICS and flashed it via fastboot to your last cm9 build.

But after htc logo phone turns off itself.

P.S I didn't pulled kernel config and didn't made changes to .config file. I simply made htc_pico_defconfig.

Phone is not booting, what could be the problem ?

I am attaching link of .img file of kernel.http://www.mediafire.com/download/h6476r3djkhxs27/boot_2.img

Lirokoa's source as I've mention in last reply.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:

su doesn't work with my kernel

Hi guys!

I have builded my own kernel based on Kirmaniarslan/android_kernel_htc_pico. It works fine but su command is not working. It gives 255 exit code. But su -h shows help message so the binary executes.

I am using full cm11 source to build kernel (mka bootimage). The issue happens with or without JustArchi's build recommendations.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
is it specific to your kernel?

I think it has to be a permissions issue.

Try with ChainFire's SuperSU (for testing)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
yes, i think that as long as there's going to be a script, people will keep using scripts. we need something better, something in boot.img, something aw3som3.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mystic-Mirage:
Sorry, I was wrong. su works fine with kernel compiled without JustArchi's recommendations. So I drop them.

Another stupid question. Sometimes I build kernel that boots with very slow bootanimation and logcat spamed with "Timed out waiting for hw vsync; faking it". What does it mean and how to avoid it? With the same commit I have builded success kernel. May be I do not cleaned something properly?

Cache?

What if the size of cache partition increased?? i mean by reverse mounting...

Any noticeable performance increase???

and can we mount NAND's system partition (which i think is the biggest partition in our device) to cache??

while we are using SD-SYSTEM?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
IDK about perfomance increasing with reverse mounting the /cache partition somewhere else. The cache partition stores the dalvik-cache, which was moved to /data (explained here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49513920&postcount=134).

But in the second case, mounting the system partition somewhere else, and mounting the /cache partition in internal NAND, in some other partition big enough to house the dalvik-cache such as the /system partition (and ofc, removing this line: "dalvik.vm.dexopt-data-only=1" from system.prop), there is the possibility of increase in performance, but still, YMMV.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] thewisenerd:
trying to get the recovery.img's size below 5 mB (which is pico's recovery partition size) for aw3som3, I was annoyed first (naturally), and then, decided to go to "behind the screens".

Whatever compression method I used, it was always above 5 mB

Whatever stuff I removed from the kernel (safe to remove, unused in recovery stuff), the image was still more than 5 mB

Then, had an "aha!" moment, when going through the kernel config options, while seeing which stuff to disable.

Though we use compression algo's in the kernel, through many many guides, and DIY tutorials, you are used to copypasting stuff, and (probably) have even a batch script taht does stuff for you.

Instead of beating aroudn the bush, let's get straight to the point!

until now, you were compressing just the kernel, *not* the ramdisk.

Thanks to dozens of guides that have commands ready for copypasting, we have been blindly using gzip for kernel compression till now. not to mention that the zImage is compressed with another algo (hopefully you found out that config somewhere, somehow), nevertheless, but the initramfs (i.e. the "boot" folder or equivalent), when used with unpackbootimg?

going through a couple of guides, what I found was this:

mkbootfs boot | [B]gzip[/B] > unpack/boot.img-ramdisk-new.gz;

here, we are using gzip, which is, frankly speaking, inefficient, but the fastest out there. There are better algorithms which hope to deliver the same speeds, with better compression rates, one being lzma.

So, by simply replacing gzip with lzma, while repacking TWRP, I was able to slimmer it from 5.2 mB to 4.6 mB :angel:

without compression level set, it uses a default of 6 or 7, idk...

mkbootfs boot | [B]lzma[/B] > unpack/boot.img-ramdisk-new.gz;

while, on setting compression levels:

mkbootfs boot | [B]lzma -9[/B] > unpack/boot.img-ramdisk-new.gz;

you get slightly more compression.

this is "useful" with kernels too, I was able to get around 0.2 mB slashed off the boot.img, but for kernels that are to do with ROMs, I'd suggest you stick to gzip, as (though big) it is generally termed the fastest out there.

Here what you should do:

1. Download ODIN 3.09

2. Download Dr.Ketan WiFi patch

3. Download PhilZ recovery in tar.md5 format (its available in developer post)

4. Download your favorite ROM (Dr.Ketan's v5 or DN3 v3 are my recommendations)

Now

5. Power off your phone

6. Enter in Download mode (Vol down+Home+Power)

7. Connect your phone with PC through USB cable

8. Put PhilZ recovery tar file in PDA column of ODIN 3.09 and hit START (make sure it is showing your device as added)

9. Don't remove your phone from cable till ODIN shows PASS

Do the same for WiFi patch after step 10 (flashing your ROM)

10. Enter in to Recovery (Volume UP + Home + Power) and flash your favourite ROM

Enjoy !!!

Good Luck !!!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockingondrums:
Personalized Speech Recognition is more for teaching Google to understand how you pronounce certain things. Moto X is really the only device that teaches the phone to only respond to you, which is part of the reason why it's software features are so awesome. Many tech reviews did not understand this point, they simply saw the result of it. Now you can be one of the people to be in the know that Moto and Google are extending the capabilities of Android's voice recognition! I've not seen single review of the Moto X that realized what Moto and Google were doing that was special. Google's implementation is great, but the Moto X goes beyond that, which is exciting for future Google/Moto devices.

Now, if you use Personalized Recognition enough, it MAY behave like that, but I doubt it will do it consistently and it's not designed that way.

So let's say you turn it on. Now, every time you use STT, look at what the phone enters. Anywhere you see a word or phrase that's underlined with a grey line, that's Google telling you "I think this is what you said, but I'm not completely sure". Now, if it's wrong and you TAP on that underlined word/phrase, you'll see it's suggestions or what it thinks. If one of the suggestions is the right word/phrase, SELECT IT. WHEN YOU SELECT IT, it tells Google to REMEMBER that you say that word/phrase a certain way and it will record that. You can view ALL your recorded corrections on your Google Dashboard. I currently have 319 recordings. This makes using Google STT VERY GOOD for me, it knows all the little nuances in the way I pronounce things.

Now, your other problem is that the option is not in your screenshot. I don't know why that is. Anytime I've ever flashed Gapps to a ROM, it's always been an option for me. Are you flashing some kind of minimal or light version of the Gapps? Try flashing the full Gapps. All I can do is point you to the help page: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/186263?rd=1

Also, I want you to realize this also applies to the keyboard, and I don't just mean adding the word to your personal dictionary. If you're typing and you tap a word in grey and correct Google enough times, it will learn, though it does seem to store the swearing preference locally rather than on the server. For example, I always turn OFF the swear blocking thing. I don't like being censored by my own keyboard. But, every time I flash a new ROM I have to re-teach my phone that I meant to say f**k or suck and NOT duck or tuck or whatever. This is even if I restore my personal dictionary, which certainly has some colorful entries. Google does this because you might not want to text your boss or wife or child something obscene. But be certain, when you correct Google's grey underlined words whether written by keyboard or speech, the phone and/or the Google servers DO learn... That's one of the benefits of the "neural network" that they like to tout about themselves, and it's one of the main ways that they are innovative in a way that Apple certainly is not.

HTH.

I know this thread is a little old, but I'm having a very similar issue. I have actually contacted google tech support who have told me the Google Now app is only officially supported in the US. Henceforth, unless you are actually located in America, the 'personalized recognition' check box doesn't even show in your menus as you can't use it. I should know as I coughed up for a Nexus 10 AND Nexus 5 and it doesn't show the option on either. (Im based in the UK).

I don't know why Google won't let users outside the US use the 'personalized recognition' function. My British accent is very clear and distinguishable and therefore it would probably be easier to recognize my vocal inflections than someone from the deep south of America per se.

Google banged on about the inclusion of Google Now in the latest KitKat version of Android and the truth is when you dig a little deeper, a few of the important features including 'personalized recognition' are not available outside the US. Google promised support outside the US over 3 years ago and it has yet to materialize. Personally I'm not holding my breath
