Google mt6589 partition resize

But you should really have a full backup (Rom dump, scatter file) to restore the phone in case something goes wrong.

There is an app to do it directly on the phone.

Because I have around 14 gb data partition (duo plus variant) I never tried.

i need solve one little problem... when I delete AcerHome from priv-app and added another launcher to priv-app or app, after restart I receive error when I go to setting. Force close errors and cannot go to the settings :( solved with workaround leave booth launcher apps... but Acer Home is very large app and I dont want in my rom. Any ideas please?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cyclon1978:
Some settings are for acer launcher, so some code from settings has to be removed...

I don't know if that's worth the effort, the acer launcher should not remain in memory if you use another launcher.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] kissman21:
ok, leaving booth launchers in phone... i have now 310mb rom file ;) and still have some things to delete... (default ringtones etc...)

resize partition is good solution, but full redirect to sdcard will be much better = more space ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tiliarou:
Thanks for this rom !! Do I still need to flash your custom kernel over it to have undervolt ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cyclon1978:
The kernel included in the Rom is newest kernel, some more optimizations than the last released kernel.

Perfect :D thanks for your quick reply. One last thing, your advice is to wipe cache only ? No wipe data (and of course no factory reset/system wipe) ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cyclon1978:
I wiped nothing, not even dalvik cache. But nothing is lost if you wipe cache and dalvik cache

[Miscellaneous Android Development] tiliarou:
Thanks again ! I just flashed it and it's pretty good ! And smooth. However, I prefered the previous Acer buttons behavior (center for home and long press for google now, right button for recent apps, long press for settings).

To go back to this, I have to edit build.prop ? Or it's only dependent of android policy jar ? I have no clue what you mean y the latter, is it an app ?

Edit: I also liked the ability to launch an app from the Recent screen and I reanbled the Acer recent screen editing build.prop :

- for recent screen I suppose it's the line ENABLE_LAUNCHPAD=true

- for the Acer lockscreen I suppose it's the line acer.shell.mode=ENABLED

You already gave those info but I'm sharing it for noobs like me just in case someone wants to get Acer lock and recent screen.

Correct me if it's the reverse, I'm not sure ;)

Edit2: I'm now in the process of editing android.policy.jar

I've decompiled classes.dex and I'm looking into PhoneWindowManager.smali but I'm clueless on how to change button behavior :o :/

Can you just tell me what I have to modify ? Thanks

Can some people please try SleepBot (or name similar/better free alternatives)?

I really really like SleepBot, and its working fine on my CM12 / Lollipop tablet (Archos 101 G9 Turbo)!?

On our KitKat it crashes on an java.lang.IllegalArgumentException "Bad pattern character 'E' in yyyy MMM d, E" in libcore.icu.ICU line 165 while doing a getDateFormatOrder. Localization problem or what?

FIXED: I had it fixed by changing the date display mode (Settings > Date & Time) from something with day included, to a simple 31-12-2015.

Myrom 1.3

Hello,

an update to my rom:

old features:

- newest kernel

- init.d scripts for optimal user experience

- recent apps moved to long press home button

- media key (headset) mapped to "play next song"

- removed some acer apps i never need (hope you'll see it the same)

- disabled agps updates if on roaming to prevent roaming fees (enabled in stock rom)

- enabled gps assistance data (lts/sattelite precalculations) additional to agps for better gps performance on roaming/no internet access

- and everything i ever mentioned in this thread ;)

new features:

- boot into recovery from reboot menu

Installation instructions:

- make a backup

- install myrom-1.3.zip ( http://d-h.st/A4E5 )

- install google apps from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

-- choose any package which match your requirements, but the MICRO package is pre-installed, so you skip this step if you only need Calendar, Gmail, Google Launcher. You can also install the smaller package.

- install myrom-post-gapps.zip ( http://d-h.st/cSdJ ) to fix google backup system.

The last step has to be done after every update of the gapps package. Or you'll loose google backup capability. If you're not using it, you can skip the last step.

Purpose is to save space. If you disable automatic update for google apps and keep them up to date with the gapps packages from the thread mentioned above you'll always be up to date but never need data space for google apps. That is special requirement for "non-plus" device users; the ones with plus device can just install the rom and install google plus, etc. as user apps because data is really big enough.

Also with this gapps package i do not have to think about which google apps which user wants.

No wipe of user data required if you're coming from kitkat; all jelly bean users should first update to official kitkat to prevent most user data.

Greetings,

Andreas

[Miscellaneous Android Development] tiliarou:
Thanks for your rom update !

If I take android.policy.jar from the stock Acer rom, will I get both the benefits of your rom and the original button behavior ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cyclon1978:
You'll loose reboot recovery menu!

Anyway, why you want the creepy menu button double function? ever used titanium backup? it was driving me crazy... (no way to access menu without going to recent apps at the same time).

Maybe i'll make it configurable some day...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tiliarou:
I have direct access to recovery from boot menu with an xposed module. Link2sd also has a full boot menu with boot to recovery, bootloader, normal reboot or quick reboot (UI only).

Also, to access option in any apps, you just have to long press the recent apps button, it works 90% of the time for me ;) and I'm pretty sure I tested it in titanium backup as well and it was not a major issue for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cyclon1978:
Then just replace the policy jar file.

And it does not work in my titanium backup version ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Already had it fixed, by changing date display mode to 31-12-2015 so without the dayname.

I will try your ROM, can you message me the psycho kernel version? ;)

Why is there a list of so many phones in the first post? Does it mean I can use this rom for my Lenovo S750 too?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
No, the list is there to show there's other phones with similar chipset that *may* work when using the same ROM. It was just to get the people to develop new ROMs for this device. Flashing any of these or other ROMs on devices not intended for the ROMs may cause you to brick your device.

Lollipop

In the Indonesian E3 group on FB, they are talking about Lollipop on our device, again. This time accompanied with screenshots (5.0.1) and a Google Drive downloadable ZIP.

Is this the real thing? Does it work, and is it virus/trojan/backdoor free?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
This does seem valid. It looks like it's ported from a Lenovo. Check lines like these from the build.prop file:

ro.mediatek.version.release=ALPS.KK1.MP5.V1.1

ro.product.manufacturer=LGE

Build date however from september last year... so it's not very new...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Looks more like KitKat (4.4.2)(says KK1 and KK4.4) and it looks like being ported from BLU Life Play then named to Lenovo and/or E3???

Ps. The screenshot on FB is possible from another ROM/ZIP but does show version 5.0.1. I will keep you posted.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nikagl:
LOL, very true and more logic too judging from the date.... guess it's just a spoof ROM with KK on it and some L skinning...scary mixture of different devices in the boot prop... :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Adge40:
I've used that ale 3 L rom,it has bugs but is very nice,it has an irritating question mark in the status bar which cannot be moved so I stopped using that rom,awand mbengi is as far as I know currently building version 2 and yes it is on 4.4.2
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Adge40:
Well I installed version 2 and I got to say,what a beautiful Rom,the best one yet,it says Android version 5.0.1.,is this possible??,some of my apps like nova once installed set themselves to lollipop by default but yes a very,very nice rom

New experimental Kernel 8.54

just run antutu after flashing this kitkat kernel.

new features:

- dirty pages writeback (use performance control app, - handle with care! DEFAULT IS ENABLED i think)

- linux upmerge

- enable Multi-core automatic hotplug support (works only if msm hotplug, intelliplug and mpdecision disabled - so i removed them for now)

EXPERIMENTAL: i changed so much that the chance for a bug is really there...

Hi, can i downgrade from your ROM version 1.3 to version 1.1 without having to do a data wipe or factory reset?

But why, was something better in the older version?

If it's kernel related flash newest kernel and see if it's better.

In your newest version my phone boots up when plugged in and i don't like that.

Nothing kernel related. Your kernel is good!!? But is there a newer kernel available?

Also, where can i find the manufacturer logo to flash wit spft? I tested the galaxy s5 rom but i didn't like it so i went back to your rom but the boot up screen still says "galaxy s5".

[Miscellaneous Android Development] cyclon1978:
Soon you will get a new rom, an aosp kitkat build.

What should the acer rapid button do? long press for Camera is one possibility... I have to set it because nearly all acer apps will be removed.

Because it's from source build it is really easy to add functionality, so if you have any wishes feel free to ask.

Flip cover functionality will get lost, but it's a battery eater, so I have it disabled in all roms.

Still never used it, just like all other Acer Apps/functions, but long press Camera seems the most sensible!

Got a 136MB System Update this morning, but it still says 4.2.2 after restart.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hackwerk:
Got it too, and you can also find it here.

Problem is I cannot install, because I have custom CWM Recovery (see sig) now I guess:

It downloads (136MB to /sdcard/alu/update.zip) and then reboots to my CWM Recovery but it cannot mount SDCARD so cannot find the update.zip

So I manually do Update from zip and browse to /sdcard/alu/update.zip but it errors because of an invalid whole-file signature.

If I toggle off signature check and try it again, the assert fails of getprop ro.product.device and ro.build.product, which both should be acer_e3 (and ARE in my build.prop!?).

Calls it a Status 7.

Anyone knows how to fix it, and update my phone?

(If I look inside the zip, it seems they update the boot.img, so the recovery, maybe to secure the phone against rooting/custom ROM/custom CWM?!)

(Anyone updated a rooted phone? Still root?)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paugustin:
I think the only way is to flash stock recovery.
