[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ryccardo:
Unlike my example, you must have over 50M free on /cache (at least in Gingerbread) or cheat by bind-mounting it somewhere else... or give up on directly installing stuff from the market
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ryccardo:
I tried bind mounting /cache to /data/local/tmp/cache but Google Play is still broken, so I guess you'll want a 57M partition there...

Also, you can always return to stock layout by flashing a full ROM in green light download mode, then wiping /sdcard from settings
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ryccardo:
I'm going to update this for 4.1, it's even somewhat easier and more predictable :)

----------------

1: think of the rough partition sizes

system (350M)
data (1,5G)
cache (280M) ## keep in mind whether ROM uses this for dalvik-cache and at least in 2.x Google Play downloads there
sdcard (remaining space)

2: make sure you have some files ready

→ROM in recovery zip format

→Backup of everything you want

→Kernel with fdisk in ramdisk

→ADB known working in recovery and normal mode

→Fixed busybox (http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1057725&d=1336884034)

3: enter recovery and dump partition table (adb shell, fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0, p)

Unlike my previous experiment, I'll calculate sizes in cylinders -- harder but fdisk appears to work better that way

Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 7944 MB, 7944011776 bytes
4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 242432 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes
[...]
/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 1857 34624 1048576 83 Linux #SYSTEM
/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 42625 108160 2097152 83 Linux #DATAFS
/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 34625 42624 256000 83 Linux #CACHEFS
/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 1345 1856 16384 48 Unknown #FOTAKERNEL, move this on another line if it helps you think better but put it back there after calculations
/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 108161 238592 4173824 c Win95 FAT32 #UMS

so our work area starts at cylinder 1857 and ends at 238592!

4: calculate partition sizes (I'll only list start & end cylinders for clarity)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p10	1857 12538	<< 1857 + (350000000÷32768)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p11	12538+1 >>	12539 58315	<< 12539+(1500000000÷32768)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 58315+1 >>	58316 66861	<< 58316 +(280000000÷32768)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p13	1345 1856
/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 66861+1 >>	66862 238592

5: remove partitions (d, 14, d, 13, ..., 10)

6: create partitions (n, l, 1857, 12538, repeat for next row)

7: retype partitions (t, 13, 48, t, 14, c)

8: save changes (w, reboot) - enter recovery again, you should get 5 "E: Can't {mount|open} /cache/[...]" lines

9: go to mounts and storage and run all 4 formats, sdcard will probably fail -- if it doesn't skip to step 13

10: install fixed busybox (adb push '/home/riki/Desktop/busybox' /cache/)

11: enter adb shell, make it executable (chmod +x /cache/busybox)

12: format media partition (/cache/busybox mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p14)

13: quit shell, mount /sdcard in CWM

14: adb push your ROM to /sdcard, install it and reboot!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DaniPhii:
This is so interesting, I've being doing this on a Samsung Galaxy SCL to fix it as its internal storage and /data partition were totally corrupted. I used parted instead of fdisk to repartition the external SD and edit then kernel's RAM disk to make it mount /data in one of the new partitions. Because of this that I've been doing lately, I'm thinking of using fdisk in my Xperia U too to have more available space in internal SD, that would be great, as I use dual boot feature.

I think I'll do this when I'm be fed up of Jelly Bean being the main ROM and KitKat just the secondary one. :)

By the way, I think it can be possible to leave enough free space before mmcblk0p14 to create my secondary ROM's partitions there (mmcblk0p15 for /system, mmcblk0p16 for /data and mmcblk0p17 for /cache) instead of creating system.ext4, data.ext4 and cache.ext4 inside my internal SD and mounting them in loop devices... What do you think? Could I brick my phone doing that? I've asked here too just in case. :p

The only thing I'd have to do is to format my mmcblk0p15 using mke2fs to set the same UUID as in mmcblk0p10 just if my secondary ROM doesn't boot (but I think this wouldn't be necessary):

mke2fs -T ext4 -O has_journal,extent,huge_file,flex_bg,uninit_bg,dir_nlink,extra_isize -U [COLOR="Silver"][mmcblk0p10's UUID][/COLOR] -I 256 /dev/block/mmcblk0p15

You've explained this how-to so well, [MENTION=5543274]Ryccardo[/MENTION]! Thanks for this tutorial. :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] silver2004:
Many, many thanks to you, sir! :)

Thanks to you i was able to increase data partition on my P (similar partition scheme to U).

Other tutorials weren't so useful than yours and i was searching quite a lot. Thank you, live in wealth! :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xboxhaxorz:
I got a T Mobile MDA for a great deal even though i have the old Cingular/ AT&T service. I was wondering am i losing any features or benefits since i am using a T Mobile device with the different carrier. As in am i losing benefits of not having T Mobile or not purchasing a Cingular 8125 or even the Qtek or K Jam version.

If you were in my position would you just sell the unit and purchase the Cingular or other Wizard version available?

I appreciate any tips.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] taintbad:
I would just reflash it with a cingular rom from the ftp site, It will work perfect.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xboxhaxorz:
would the cingular rom be better than the tmobile rom?

obviously it makes sense since i have cingular, just wondering if i would notice anything different or useful
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ikkoku:
I have the MDA also on Cingular Blue...

I just reflashed to the Dopod rom when I got it... just set the data settings and I was good to go (couldn't stand the pink)... even took the T-Mobile logo off.

If you are not using data then I don't think it'll affect you at all using the T-Mobile rom.

Just upgraded to Kitkat, and If course Google Maps 7 came baked in. I want version 6.14.4 I have the app on my phone, but it won't allow me to install it. I know it's fine because the same exact file worked just fine on Jellybean. I've setup the phone to allow me to sidesload apps. I've uninstalled updates, quarantined the app, and the phone still refuses to install the version I want. Is there anyway to do it?

i have a rooted AT&T HTC ONE phone OTA updated to 4.4.2, twrp recovery, HBOOT 1.56, s-ON, and im trying to unroot and go back to stock to return phone as i received it out if the box. I'm a NOOB on these things, can someone provide steps to proceed. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rawrluiz:
I won't post steps, but I'll point you in the right direction. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

If you are to flash a stock Rom, it shouldnt leave you rooted, since every stock Rom comes without superuser/superSU, which primarily is what gives you root access. Therefore, find a stock Rom and flash that.

As for custom recovery, I'm not exactly sure how to restore that. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to find, download, and flash the stock HTC recovery , for your phone.

Finally, for the bootloader lock, you'll need to completely restore that so it doesn't say TAMPERED/RELOCKED/UNLOCKED upon booting into bootloader.

Google how to do that. In fact, Google everything you need. That's what you should've done in the first place. Google is your best friend. After all, you're using an android phone.
[Moto X Q&A] dkoon1987:
Hi Guys,

My company uses Good For Enterprise for email, which requires a phone to not be rooted. Well I was using Xposed and Rootcloak to hide root, but it appears an update patched that exploit. So I flashed the SBF for 4.4.2 and have Good running. Well I wanted to be able to use TWRP to go back to my rooted backups, but once I push TWRP to my device, my STOCK unrooted fresh SBF'ed received a "SuperSU Installer" in my apps and also a persistent notification wanting me to install SuperSU through Google Play or TWRP. Good then failed the Root check and locked me out. So I thought I could push the stock recovery back and it would go away, but nope, no dice. Any ideas? FWIW I'm running a DE Moto X from Verizon, unlocked bootloader on 4.4.2 system and bootloader.
[Moto X Q&A] drago10029:
Seems you did everything right BUT when TWRP ask if you wanna install root or superuser.. forget which it says. Just say no. Then you should be root free. Hope that helps!
[Moto X Q&A] dkoon1987:
Thanks, but when I was in TWRP recovery it did ask me to root, and I said no; but it still had the "SuperSU Installer" in the app drawer, and couldn't be removed.
[Moto X Q&A] drago10029:
hmm, well if you say you came from stock, flashed TWRP and SU installed itself. than maybe just removing root would work. There's a guide for that, probably in the general thread. also, I read that there is a way to load multiple ROMs that's stickied in one of the threads. That could be exactly what you need!!

Don't remember which thread so you have to find it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igotgame:
I'm new to the Note 3 and can't seem to figure this out.

I don't need the phone to vibrate when the sound is on for notifications. However, when I set the phone to vibrate I want SMS/MMS to cause the phone to vibrate. I can't figure this out...

If I uncheck "Also vibrate when notified" under SMS/MMS settings, then that stops the vibrations when the phone sound is on. But when I put the phone to Vibrate mode.... messages won't vibrate the phone.

I need "Vibrate when silent" or something to that affect.

Am I missing something here?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieljw:
I, too, was frustrated by the vibration behavior on this device with regard to notifications.

My suggestion is to try an app called Vybe in the market that solved all my problems.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bsmith0731:
Everything you should need is Under the sound settings. And then the vibrate settings. Most apps, including messages, and gmail, have a check box to vibrate as a notification. Hope that helps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igotgame:
I'm not sure where you are looking but I don't have check boxes anywhere in sound settings for messages, gmail, etc.

This is what I see and there are no check boxes for different apps in any of these areas.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bsmith0731:
These settings are under each app itself.

I'm sorry I wasn't more clear, here are the screen shots...

Under Gmail, click on the menu button, and go to settings, then click on your email address..

Under Messages, click on the More tab...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igotgame:
Yea I knew that... The problem is if you check that Vibrate box under Message settings.. it will vibrate even when the sound is on, which I don't need. But if I uncheck it, text messages will not vibrate when the phone is set to vibrate. Kind of aggravating... I don't need the phone to vibrate when the ringer is on, but I don't have a choice because if I uncheck that box, messages will not vibrate when the phone is set to vibrate.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bsmith0731:
I dont use vibrate at all...

However... what you may have to do is go under the Vibration Intensity, and slide those all the way down when you dont need vibrate, and slide them all the way up when you do need them.

That way you can keep your vibrate boxes checked at all time, and thats more of a master control for Vibration.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igotgame:
If the Vibration Intensity was unique for each mode: Ringer On and Vibrate... that would work.. Unfortunately turning it all the way down so it doesn't vibrate with ringer on, even with it checked in message settings, doesn't allow it to vibrate when set to vibrate mode.

Sent from my 2nd Gen Nexus 7
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bsmith0731:
You just want it to vibrate when the ringer is off correct? I think its going to take some work on your behalf, meaning you will have to use those sliders when the volume is off, raise the vibration up more. When the volume is on, lower the vibration. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igotgame:
Yea no problem... And yes I just want it to vibrate when the ringer is off. Looks like I'd have to adjust the intensity eveytime I went from vibrate to ringer... Which sucks.

Hopefully Kit Kat fixes that

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SebringTech:
Guess I didn't look enough into the pros and cons of the leaked 4.3 release for our phones. The phone losing my google account almost daily has me at wits end. My fiance just laughs about it because she has the stock 4.2.2 that I rooted for her and she didn't want the 4.3 update. I in no way want to lose root.. way too much AT&T bloat I refuse to have back on my phone. From what I've seen I can't find a way to restore the factory 4.2.2.. Is there a way or is the only way to ODIN the official 4.3 OTA and lose root? :confused:

So the MF1 is the only 4.2.2 official I can downgrade to? I can't say I've ever had a phone like this - where the firmwares are such a pain. I have downloaded the 1 click to MF1. Is the leaked 4.2.2 comparable to the official 4.2.2? I ask since the leaked 4.3 has that annoying account loss issue that I would HOPE the official 4.3 does not have.

I'm guessing if they're comparable in terms of stability and usability then that's what I'll do. I just wanted feedback before I go and flash something. I already made that mistake with the leaked 4.3 update. :(

As title says , im unable to create the EXT4 partition on my SD Card. I have 2 SD Cards one 8GB class 2 , and other one 32GB class 10. Normally i use my 8GB class 2 card but I wanted to change it to the bigger one because the 8GB is not enough for me . I've 7GB Fat32 and 1GB EXT4 on it working perfectly , i partitioned it in the 4EXT recovery. Although , I wanted to change it with my other 32GB card. Everything seems to be perfect, i supposed to create the 1GB EXT4 again but... after partitioning i go to "info" it doesnt show me the EXT4 partition unfortunately ...just saying that my ext is not formatted , but i cant format it because i didnt create it :mad: on my 8GB SD Card it shows that i have the ext4 partition, but on the 32GB it doesnt... and the problem is i cant boot up any ROM with it :( could anyone help me with this? I really want to use the 32GB card but i cant for now :(

Hey Chromium :) Yeah so, I tried to partition the SD Card with Gparted but unfortunately , when I booted it up , I cant see my SD Card info.. Only the PC Partitions. Could the problem be that , my phone is in 4ext recovery?? I did turn on the Disk Drive from recoery but Gparted still cant see it.

Try without swap, you don't need it. It should be removed from the guide

Both partitions primary, FAT32 first (on the left) and the ext4 second (on the right)

What ROM are you trying it with? Have you checked whether apps are actually installing to the partition with something like DiskUsage?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proadi96:
I tried it on Beanstalk ROM. The problem is, when I make sdext partition on 32gb sd card, and I tey to boot up the phone goes to bootloop :/ even if i install ROM with this card in while flashing, the ROM still wont boot up :( so I cant check if the partition is working in this way :( My 1000 post, I feel happy to be here so long :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
- Have you tried partitioning the card completely from scratch again, max 2GB ext4, no swap?

- Does 4EXT recovery see and check that the partitions are aligned?

- Tried installing a different ROM which requires an sd-ext partition just to try something else and get it booting?

If you've tried all the steps, could be a bad card though unlikely in my experience.

Nice work!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] skiman10:
Thanks for the feedback man! It means a lot. Hope you enjoy!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Everything I tried seemed to be working well. Some pretty cool features! I did have signal issues, though. On the first flash I had no signal. I flashed again and got a good signal, but when I came back to a Sense Rom my signal dropped out and wouldn't come back so I just had to flash the stock recovery and do a factory reset. Not a huge deal. Also, I'm pretty sure the signal issue can be attributed to something I did. I'll try it again later today. Thanks for the great work!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] skiman10:
I'll look into it. Which one did you flash? 2/28 or 3/01? Thanks for the feedback!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
It would have been 2/28. It was a clean install, but I think my original signal issue was because I flashed the Elite Lunar kernal directly after the Rom...I didn't do a full reboot or anything before. When I reflashed without the kernal, the signal was fine. Not sure what caused the signal drop when I came back to Sense, but I think that's been a minor issue with several AOSP roms. And again, it could just be all attributed to the way I originally flashed the Rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] skiman10:
That would do it. Thanks for trying it out bud. Appreciate it!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 123421342:
You aren't actually seeing a signal drop at all. Sense roms fake the signal to make you think you have a better signal than you do. -90db of LTE on sense would give you 5 bars but with AOSP you would see 2. You have the exact same signal.

OP, how is the battery life? Can I expect to get at least 30ish hours of charge with 2 hours of screen on time?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Ya I know that. When I said I had no signal on my original flash I meant I had no signal. When I said my signal dropped out when I came back to the sense rom I meant it dropped out...no signal. The problem was how I flashed the rom, but had nothing to with Sense faking bars.
