[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sir mordred:
other recoveries except arco's provided one will not work from this moment because they are using default/stock partition map but we are using different partition map now...

you and all of us have to use arco's provided one recovery to install latest cm11 and cm12 (:))
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mat1371:
I don't install gapps.

Is there any disadvantage in this new partition layout? Is it mandatory?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fdc77:
from what i understand, from now on we can only use cwm by arco or try to compile twrp by ourself with proper patiton map. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fcaronte:
unfortunally i don't know how to do that xD but this phone is my old phone and i have't problem to format from zero it stay alway empty but i'm wait to instal cm12 here too XD
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sir mordred:
there is a advantage in this new partition map because now we can install full package gapps without any insufficient space error

and yes it is mandatory..

how to swap storage ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] artu72:
Arco, there is no option to perform USB mount on recovery. 6.0.5.1. So I cannot transfer files to rom after the internal card has been formatted (I have no external SD card)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Madridii:
That option enabled just when you have external SD card ..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] artu72:
Not right. In previous version of CWM recovery (6.0.4.6), there was the USB mount option without an external SD card mounted, and I accessed to internal SD card contents.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Madridii:
Bro, I am talking about new recovery ..

No internal SD because it used as /data
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] artu72:
Sorry, I misunderstanded. I hvae mounted /data, but I cannot see it on PC...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] arco68:
The old internal storage was formatted as fat, the new is shared with /data thus formatted as ext4 and emulated, so mass storage doesn't work with it. This is the same as on every new device for at least the last two years. If you don't have an external sd card, you can mount data and adb push a file to /data/media/0
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gregoriaz:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jnr88:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Harakhti:
Internal storage is virtual, so it's kind of solid. If you want to move OBBs to the External SD, use FolderMount App or ObbToSD Xposed Module.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mat1371:
What about those who don't use gapps?

IS it possible not to do it?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:
If you don't need your synced contact back, or everything was synced on google play service, I think its possible. But if you need playstore, gmail or whatever it called from google, at least you need gapps installed.

recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.1-ancora.zip

Amazing work from our master arco68 :good: :laugh:

I want to mention that there is confusion between the recovery v6.0.5.1 because of same versioning:

First (older) CWM v6.0.5.1 is provided in original CWM-thread here for general use without the optimizations for CM11.0.

Latest (new) CWM v6.0.5.1 is provided in first post and necessary for CM11.0 with optimizations to the partition layout for latest CM11.0.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cristianoportela:
i think that i may have found an issue with CyanogenMod 11.0 (20141223-UNOFFICIAL), perhaps earlier versions as well. pretty easy to check, in fact. steps to it: wait until your battery reach 100%. then, unplug charger and enable wifi. keep browsing with it. when batter level reach a little bit bellow 30%, phone will drop dead, as no charge at all. plug again charger, it will take some time to the phone be able to turn on again. battery level will be 0%, as expected to something that just dropped dead. then, do the same thing, but not enable wifi, 3g, nothing, just leave your phone in standby, do calls, etc. just keep one eye on battery level. now, it will show batter level as expected, going to 8% and bellow it as should be, even with wifi enabled and browsing

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mohdezwandy:
hi all.

can someone teach me how to flash this latest rom?

i a bit confusing here.

i mean the step.

thanks in advanced.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ilusi0n_:
You have the instructions on the first page. What exactly you don't understand?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sir mordred:
Everything is working on my side (im on latest build) and also i didnt face any battery related problem in early cm11 builds

Maybe your battery is dead huh?

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

Yeah it is possible

Just revert the following changes on sources https://github.com/arco/android_device_samsung_ancora/commit/5f6e78fb4907d88c80c3deb027e83edabfb83227

https://github.com/arco/android_device_samsung_ancora/commit/d1cb921fb3ecd3e90a35da2af6a878aa294f168d

And then build your cm11 from sources directly and flash it with older recoveries
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cristianoportela:
brand new battery, it was my first thought and i've replaced it (manufactured in 2014, 06). the issue only happens with wifi and browsing web until dead point (30%). with the old one, same thing. battery calibration done, no effect as expected. everything works, in fact, there's just that "drop dead" issue. in fact, try stay something like 4h (i really doubt that battery will last longer than that on heavy usage) browsing, regular sites, like news, magazines, etc. i don't know what this is, if is an usage stat not being read as should, something like that. i've just noticed that looks weird that this only happens with wifi and browsing and not as the phone acting as mp3 player or even as a dumb phone
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] eri000:
i don't have a problem either, make sure you have calibrated the battery correctly : fully charge to 100% non stop than unplug and use it until it gets low 10-13% make sure you don't turn it off while you are using it. And then repeat again. IF you have done this and it happens again, i suspect a battery problem
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sir mordred:
you are from brazilian and you have GT-İ8150B right?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cristianoportela:
[MENTION=5012151]eri000[/MENTION]: i've calibrated the battery twice already, same issue, both batteries

@ sir mordred: yepgt-8150b ssn:-i8150bgsmh. battery eb484659vu. the new one sn is AAaB104OS/4-B (2014.05.06). the old one is TH1B929FS/5-B (2011.09.29). that i've noticed, is that the new one lasts a lot longer than the old one, under dump phone usage. the old one has another problem, but it's due old age: an reboot if charge is bellow 40% or something means battery =0% after reboot. the effect in the new one is negligible

[]s
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sir mordred:
then ım afraid it can be device spesific problem (main version is GT-I8150 but you have a B version)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] makankaki:
is this right?

1. download the recovery and rom.

2. put recovery, rom and gapps in external sd

3. flash the recovery, and reboot recovery

4. after reboot recovery, wipe data/factory reset and format /system and format /data and /data/media

5. flash rom

6. flash gapps

7. reboot
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] eri000:
yes :good:

edit: you can also wipe cache if you want...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] [.::MDT::.]:
After successfully flashing the latest ROM version, I cannot see my WIFI network anymore.

Wireless is visible and working from tablet, other phones, and laptops.

Tried changing wifi mode (a/b/n) without success.

How could I fix this?

Thanks.

UPDATE: doing a factory reset, then a reboot, on the phone seemed to have solved the issue atm.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dec0der:
I've been experiencing this situation too but not with the latest, also with the prev builds. sometimes, I need to pull-out the battery to make it charge again. But in regular use, it doesn't happen. But I know, my battery need replacement already :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tubiron:
Hello Guys,

Please correct me if I missed and say something wrong!

I flashed latest recovery ( recovery-clockwork-6.0.5.1-ancora.zip ) today. Then I loaded latest ROM ( 2014-12-23: CM-11.0 20141223-UNOFFICIAL ) and Gapps ( pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.4-20141214-signed.zip ) to my phone as well.

After loading finished, I checked the Storage Menu and I noticed that former 1 GB Data Memory disappeared from the menu. I can't see that partition. But in the same time former 1.7 GB Internal Storage looks like became new Data Memory of my phone after all.

Now, I have a questions at this point;

1 - Where is that former 1 GB Data Memory?

2 - That 1 GB Data Memory now obsolete by my Galaxy W?

3 - Or that 1 GB Data Memory replaced the System Memory and increased my phone's RAM from 535 MB to 1 GB?

Thank you very much for your answers.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ilusi0n_:
Internal storage is now emulated in /data/media/0

This means that the internal card will be shared with /data. So you can still save what you want in the internal sdcard. But now you can't mount it on recovery. But when you connect your phone in windows/linux mtp (Media Transfer Protocol) will be used and you can copy whatever you want.

And no, there is nothing to do with ram. ram is still the same.

Basically what was changed was the partition layout to get more space essencially
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mohdezwandy:
after a long time i a bit confused now because no swap at all :p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Chriss123456789:
Thank you for your great work arco! :)

But if I flash the new recovery, can I flash older roms of CM11 also?

Thanks ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Madridii:
No bro

Just latest build of cm11 and latest build of PA and cm12

That's for new assignment partitions ..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 2g11:
Does this mean it's not possible to flash this ROM without an external sd card?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ilusi0n_:
external sd card is not required
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] manny_gt:
Hello. I can't go more than 30kb/s to download. Anyone is experiencing the same thing? It requires 2 hours to download. :eek:

* edit * I'm using the mirror one now :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 2g11:
Arco's said in the instructions to copy the ROM on an external sd and wipe all the internal partitions, I understand this perfectly but I don't have an sd card in my phone anymore that's why I asked if it still possible to flash without the an external sd.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ilusi0n_:
It is. For those that don't have an external sd card, like me, you can use adb. Or you use use sideload to flash the rom and the gapps. Or you use adb to copy the rom and gapps to /data/media and then when you click on install zip from sdcard the files will be there.

One of these options must be done because now we have an emulated sd card and we don't have any chance to mount it in our computer using CWM
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] slovee78:
I have a question.

What about the swap? No needing it more?

So, if I want to install need for speed MW, it will work? I mean, will it install the data on external SD card? It is really a huge data.

Thanks for any response.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] iwjosi:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tubiron:
Thank you very much for your explanation. But I still see only two drives when I connect my phone to my computer with MTP.

One of them is 1.7 GB Galaxy W NEW Data Memory ( formerly 1 GB Data Memory and replaced with 1.7 GB Internal Storage ) and my External SD Memory ( 8 GB )

So that previous 1 GB Galaxy W Data Memory disappeared, I can't find it. I can't see it as an another drive or memory or folder etc. when I connect my phone to my computer.

Can you give me open address to go that 1 GB memory? Where can I find it? How can I use it for storing my data?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Harakhti:
You only get /data shared as MTP, the 1GB partition is now /system, and the 526MB is /cache.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] xlollomanx:

However you can obtain swap by flashing a custom kernel that had this function.This http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2593327 support that feature but is not updated for lastest version of cm11, you must wait for an update (lastest cm11 rom was updated by arco yesterday).

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Wolf8:
I made the same observation. I today flashed the 20140101 version on the SGW of my wife. So far it is running ok, however the system doesn't seem to use all the available ram (I also downloaded an app for RAM details which told me that of the 348 MB RAM only 30 were free - it sometimes takes forever to just start an app). It would be great if this could be fixed soon :)

Another (minor) thing I noticed was that when I start an app it takes some time for it to load, the sceen goes black and the status symbols like clock, battery percentage etc. are displayed at the bottom of the screen, until the app has finished loading.

Edit: Yeah, one other thing: The automatic brightness adjustment of the display doesn't work. Whenever I press the "Automatic" button, it instantly returns to the "disabled" status.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] xlollomanx:
I'm not developer but I think that 348MB RAM is not a bug, but a necessary payment for a full fixed camera. Instead Automatic Brightness is normally that not works...our phone doesn't have a light sensor.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] zaid.oj:
Try to flash with ART compatible gapps and switch to ART instead of dalvik, you will notice the difference in application loading time!

then go to developer options and enable closing activity after leaving it! And finally go to performance options and increase zRAM and enable purging of assets

Supersmooth for me :)

but I believe that Arco will keep on improving it in his next builds!

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] FelixMG:
ART will be selected instead Dalvik on runtime chooser.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] theloneseeker:
The simple way to know it is:

The ART runtime takes more time to boot. Secondly after reboot goto developer options- select runtime ,you can now see the ART runtime is checked.So you are now in ART....

Yes you can go back to the old partition.

Sometimes I encounter a strange problem with the newest build.

When I send files between galaxy w and another android device over WiFi, the WiFi connection from galaxy w got lost and 3 seconds later WiFi connected as it should. I used es file explorer to send files from my galaxy tab 3 and my galaxy w. I've also tested airdroid (newest build) and it is not possible to send files larger then 500 MB over WiFi because the galaxy w lost WiFi for 3 seconds and reconnects on its own. It's not an airdroid problem because my galaxy tab 3 receive files over 500 MB without an WiFi connection issue.

I think it might be a WiFi-Direct issue because Airdroid and Es File Explorer use WiFi-Direct to connect. Could it be that WiFi-Direct doesn't work properly?

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Dr. Hurt:
I had the "lag after few hours" issue too even on stock ROM.

The reason as it turns out is the updated google play services which alone used 50-60mb of ram. Uninstalled updates and the phone flies. (Of course it keeps reinstalling the update automatically)...

Google play services are becoming more bloated with every update as part of Google's defragmentation of Android.

I guess anything less than 2GB of ram is a bad idea with more recent android versions (with all the bloat and memory leaks)...

Even my nexus 4 is dying with lollipop and recent Google services updates.

My new Galaxy SIII Neo I9301I is smooth as hell with google play services enabled and a whole lot of samsung bloat, but thats on on stock 4.4.2 don't know about lollipop

ps: Of course after disabling google play services you lose the google play as well, but who cares, when you need to install new apps you can enable it and disable again after that :cyclops: cheers
