If you flash that ROM over her current stock ROM, it should act just like an OTA update and replace the JB OS with the KK OS. It should also replace JB version Google apps with KK ones too.

If you decide to do this, you will need to do 3 things:

1) Make a backup just in case, but then copy the backup to your PC

2) Backup the internal SD to a PC and then format the internal storage. (see *2 below as to why)

3) After the flash, you will need to install the apk from the following thread and use it to install a Kitkat compatible CWM. If you don't while in recovery at any time, you may get stuck in what's called the Recovery Bootloop. Basically, every time you try to reboot the phone into the system (whether from a powered off state or from recovery), you will always go back to recovery.

The only bad thing about this recovery is that it can't read external SD cards, so anything you want to flash/backup will need to be stored on internal storage.

*2) Kitkat uses a different directory system for internal storage. If you were to not wipe the internal SD and managed to get the OTA working, it would wipe the drive for you automatically (which means all your data would be gone!).

However, with this flashable stock ROM, what will happen instead, is that all your data will remain, but will be hidden from view/access. If you have root, you can get it and move it, but it's a pain. Otherwise, your files are hidden from you, yet the system reads X amount of your internal storage as being occupied by "Miscellaneous" files, yet shows that nothing is there.

So just backup the files, then format the internal storage (which will leave her apps alone) before updating. Then flash that ROM and then copy the files back over.

All this is up to you and your wife as to whether or not you deem it to be worth the effort.

[Android General] knightzero07:
I got it working now.

I used the ebr readbacked from spft

The problem before must be due to different file size. The ones I used before was from MTKDroid tools where it uses the dd command in dumping rom making the EBR1 to be 1kb while in spft it was just 512bytes.

I'll try flashing this later if it works.

BUT! ASKS AFTER EACH REBOOT TO FORMAT INTERNAL sdcard0

FIX: I have to take example EBR1 for 2gb, AND EBR2 for 2.5gb ! because somethig was wrong in ebr files...

i loose ~0.5gb, but it stops formatting after reboot )
[Android General] knightzero07:
Late response, I just tested it right now and it works.

I've been trying to flash it through recovery but it seems its not working when flashed in recovery so I tried it again using spft and it did work.

I was just wondering, my internal storage didn't change but my app storage increased.

Everything was the same except for the app storage. I tried to check the partition details but it shows the same on stock.

I wonder where it was getting those additional storage.

I tried placing files in my internal storage and it doest store the same amount of data. Didn't test yet the app storage but I bet it can store up to its displayed storage value.

I'll be observing it for a while.

EBR Partitioning

SIR,

Im just a newbie. How about mt6582 with single EBR?

My phone STOCK ROM only had EBR1.

The 2GB partition are being shared by Internal Storage and Phone Storage.

However, it gives me some trouble porting another ROM.

The whole 2GB will be occupied by Internal Storage and the SDCARD will be present as Phone Storage.

Any idea regarding this one?

Thanks in advance...

EBRchange not working with 24062014 Stock ROM

Hello, I used your tool to resize my /data in my EBR files to 4Gb.

I have a Elephone P8, running the 24062014 Stock rom.

I only uploaded the adjusted EBR files (SPFT) , and as expected, the internal storage needed to be formatted.

However, after a later reboot, it needed to format again. . .

I found a set of EBR files for 8Gb at the Elephone site that I could use without the repeating formatting.

Why two version of MTK Droid (2.4.8.b1 and 2.5.3)? Is not enough the latest?

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

- Info for all: how to compile .CS file on Windows

Use C command line compiler to compile EBRtwweak.cs (written in C language)

C comamnd line compiler (csc.exe) is included in Windows Framework.NET.

- Check path to Microsoft.NET Frammework path

Check the existing Framework.NET version pathpath

32bit version - C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\vx.xxxxx (es. v4.0.30319)

64bit version - C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\vx.xxxxx (es. v4.0.30319)

- Add to PATH variable the Framework.NET path

ex. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319

Open a DOS prompt where is located the EBRtweak.cs file

Rin the compiler with

csc EBRtwaek.cs

The compiler will create the file EBRtweak.exe

Note:: the .EXE file contain all resources (it's a standalone exe file).

Is not need the Framework.net on PC where the .exe file will be run.

Now the full explaination how i did it.First i took full cwm backup of my current rom (lolipop and miui tried with both). Then i created ebr files of whatever partition i want using my stock ebr files and ebrtweak. Thn i flashed those ebr files with rombuzzv3.0(sptool version) cuz this rom was prerooted. After flash completion i rebboted my phone. Thn booted into recovery. Restored my backup. Cleared cache and dalvik. Reboot. Thts it.

I propose to add the procedure (posted by gameboy:_010) in the first post and i a text file inside backup tool (a text file like how_to_backup_restore_system.txt)

- Make a nandroid backup with recovery (CWM or TWRP - not stock)

- Create new EBR fiels with EBRTweak (use latest version).

- Put the new EBR files in a folder with scatter file of your ROM

- Check thatyou instaleld USB Prelaoder driver (necessary for Flashtool)

- Downlaod the latest version of Flashtool.

- Run Flashtool, load scatter file, select DOWNLOAD OLNLY mode, select DOWNLOAD and after 2 second connect the phone (OFF and without battery) to the PC. If flash didn't star leave teh phone connected and insert the battery.

- After flash completion switch on the phone in recovery mode.

- By the recovery restore the Nandroid backup

. By the recovery clear the cache and dalvik.

- By recovery reboot the phone in standard mode.

- Wait that the phone complete the boot.

Hey, I am using Lollipop themed ROM by [MENTION=4315132]FSadino[/MENTION]. Partition used is 5.5 GB as you suggested previously.

Storage issue!

Dear [MENTION=4315132]FSadino[/MENTION],

With all due respect Sir, I do understand these basic calculations very well. What I am trying to say is that memory is getting full suddenly even though there are not so many apps installed. So my question is that is there a possibility that the process for increasing the memory did not go well and there are still some residual crap files remaining from my old ROM on my memory which are occupying still a significant amount of space on the internal memory partition and because of that I am getting the memory full notification all the time?

I hope you understand now what I am trying to say! And I also hope that you can tell me the solution :p ;) he he

Thanks in advance.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctor_evil:
While I can't comment about how a Moto G would work with Cricket Wireless, I can advise that a Moto X works great with it. I live in the Gainesville area in Georgia and I get 8 meg per second downloads and between 3 and 5 megs a second for my uploads according to speedtest.net.

My Wife is using Cricket on a Galaxy Nexus and her speeds aren't quite as nice as mine due my phone having LTE, but for her it's around 3 megs download and about 500K to 1 meg per second upload speeds.

we had previously been using Straight Talk and Net10 running on the same AT&T network and speeds were comparable to what my wife is getting currently, however we both used to have a lot of frustrating periods where our data connections would run slow or time out on us. We haven't had that problem with cricket, which is awesome.
