B2) At my second (new) installation S2E options are all disabled although I have confirmed root right requests!! So I cannot use S2E functions at all. There is no error message!

Have you any idea what the reason for this problem could be?...

Remark:

I now also realised that my CWM Recovery vers. 6.0.5.3 changes my EXT4 partition during wipe back to EXT3.

But it should support EXT4 since version 6.0.5.1.4. So why doesn't it? Do you know?...

However all that is independant from EXT3 or EXT4 option setting of S2EXT!! So this is not the reason for problem B+B2.

So what is the matter with this Simple2EXT ??...

C) Another question: When pressing the home button at CM10.0 there does not happen anything. I can only return to the basic desctop by pressing back several times...

And I cannot find a related setting for that. Do you know where?...
[HTC Wildfire S] niks255:
I've been using this rom for a long time and haven't experienced these issues. You probably did something wrong. What's your recovery?

Anyway,, I'm currently working on CM10.1 and a new build comes out soon. Performance improvements are tha part of changelog.
[HTC Wildfire S] Falk2:
You can read my replies (and additional problem) above.

A more actual CWM version is not available for WFS.

Earlier I worked with TWRP 2.8 but as I had several zip package compatibility problems I had to change over to CWM!...

(I know that TWRP definitly supports EXT4)

Fine to hear about CM10.1!! Do you really improve performance here? Would be great. What did you change for it?...

Maybe my very bad performance also comes from the fact that I had installed INT2EXT4 without having an EXT4 partition (as it was changed WITHOUT ANY ERROR MESSAGE!!) to EXT3 again by CWM...
[HTC Wildfire S] niks255:
I'm using TWRP 2.2. It has perfect zip compatibility and is quite stable. Try it.

CM10.1 comes with a new kernel and other small fixes and improvements. I also added some features.

Int2ext4 is pretty slow. I'm using link2sd plus. I linked google play services with its data to ext partition, everything else without data. This gives the best performance.
[HTC Wildfire S] Falk2:
Okay, thank you for those tips. So TWRP supports EXT4 as well?...

I am very surprised that INT2EXT4 is so slow. Is it because it is not INT2EXT4+ ?? Or why?

Do you use EXT3 or EXT4?

Yes, maybe I should spend this little money for distinguishing data part linking to ext for an optimal compromise!?

That is what you mean, right?

I definitly need data link to ext because I need more than 700 MB for my apps!

But first I will try S2EXT successfully...

Do you have an explanation for my Problem A and C above?? (never had the same experiences? Would be VERY strange!!...)

(as you have no explanation for my problem B I have to try out by myself with 'pain'...)
[HTC Wildfire S] niks255:
You're going to be surprised: i'm using ext2. There is no real point of using ext3/4 on sd cards since journaling is useless on it.

You don't have to spend anything. Since you only need to link Google Play Services data, you can create that link manually using ln -s command. Other apps can be linked using free version of link2sd. I used a paid version since I already had it.

I had C when I was testing flashing build without wipe data. This option doesn't work in CWM sometimes, so you better reflash the rom this way:

wipe data

reboot recovery

wipe data again and flash.

You should be fine.
[HTC Wildfire S] Falk2:
Further related questions:

1.) Can the performance of your new CM10.1 version be compared with the one of CM10.0 and CM9?

2.) Will Simple2EXT run on CM10.1 as well? It is said to be compatible to 'CM10' which could mean 'CM10.x')

3.) How can I activate EXT4 support at CWM 6.0.5.3 cause since v. 6.0.5.1.4 it should support it?
[HTC Wildfire S] niks255:
It's like CM10, maybe a bit faster. I was running a test build yesterday and it was pretty smooth.

I'll test it.

No idea. Why don't you ask its developer? I have nothing to do with any recovery on WFS.

It may be caused by google DNS defined in build.prop by default.

Try removing these lines from build.prop:

net.rmnet0.dns1=8.8.8.8

net.rmnet0.dns2=8.8.4.4

net.ppp0.dns1=8.8.8.8

net.ppp0.dns2=8.8.4.4

net.dns1=8.8.8.8

net.dns2=8.8.4.4

And reboot.
[HTC Wildfire S] Falk2:
Thank you for your feedback, Nik!!

Hey, really good news about CM10.1 !! What did you change to make it smooth and fast? (or where can I get the change log?)

Still my problem A:

With your CM10.0 I never get internet connection (neither WLAN nor mobile data). I tried installation three times now.

Have you any explanation for that?...
[HTC Wildfire S] niks255:
It's gonna be released in a few days, be patient.

I would suggest re-creating ext partition.

Read my previous post to see a workaround for internet connection.
[HTC Wildfire S] Falk2:
I reinstalled CM10.0 a third time now - this time with TWRP2.8-marvel.

Now home button and internet connection works!! What a surprise!

BUT S2EXT options are still disabled. No chance!...

And TWRP also changed again EXT4 partition to EXT3 without any report. I give it up to use EXT4. It is always destroyed again.

However, you say I don't need it anyway...

Now, I reformatted my ext partition and rebootet. Now the S2EXT options are enabled, finally.

I marked options one and four (sd-ext/app, sd-ect-data) and rebooted again.

But now I ahve the same problem again than before:

Internal storage, bottom line: "-4190208,0 ... 154 MB free"

Sorry, Nik but there are two possibilities now after such plenty of problems:

1.) I am too stupid for this issue.

2.) There must be s.th. wrong on software side...
[HTC Wildfire S] niks255:
Ah, that is not a problem. When you start installing apps, it'll become normal.

You won't see size of your ext partition in settings/apps since it doesn't link the whole /data partition to ext. However, you can view it in S2E.

Good luck!
[HTC Wildfire S] Falk2:
Hallo Nick,

first of all: You need to use 'SuperWipeMarvelEdition'. Then the internet connection problem and the Home button problem are solved!

AND: It also leaves the EXT-Format as it is!!! So I have no Recovery support problem!

(by the way: TWRP also converts into Ext3 although it supports Ext4 !!!)

And it was by chance that I found out the reason for the strange S2Ext disable problem cause I left my mobile alone for some time:

Nick, do you know that your Simple2Ext seems to support ext2 only??

The following procedure:

I installed CM10 and ext4 (and later also tried with ext3). After the flash it boots quite quick but this time S2Ext always shows only disabled options.

But if you reboot again then there is a VERY long time you have to wait until the Cyanogenmod animation is displayed again...

And later you can see that during this time the format of the ext partition is formated to EXT2 !!!!!!!!!

WHAT IS THAT ???

And NOW the S2EXT options are all enabled! FINALLY!

But - as the original S2Ext supports all ext formats (there is no limitation published about that!) - I ask myself:

Why does your cm10+S2Ext always formats into Ext2 ? (and this only after the SECOND boot which you must have lots of patience for...)

The reason why you did not know about that: You constantly work(ed) with Ext2 only!!...

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

But this is not a solution already because S2EXT still does not work: it still does not display a big internal storage.

Still "-2327552,0 ... 152 MB free".

Please Nick, try to find out what is wrong here. I now spent a whole day to see at the end that I have no chance to let your CM10 run properly!...
[HTC Wildfire S] niks255:
This is not my build of S2Ext, it's the prebuilt apk. So it's original.

Yes, you are right. I am using ext2 and I always have.

The funny thing is: I had it backwards. I mounted my ext2 partition as ext4 and it appeared in minitool partition wizard as ext4. Seems pretty strange to me. But ROM boots normally with it. Hm...

It won't display a big storage in settings. Install any app like angry birds or something and see what happens.

Anyway, I'm not sure about anything now...
[HTC Wildfire S] Falk2:
Hi NIck,

you give a quite unclear answer...

First of all:

* What do you think about my solutions that I mentioned?? Didn't you expect any of them? So then, is it logical for you so far?

* Didn't you know that your code seems to force Ext2? Or why does the second boot converts the format to Ext2?? That shouldn't be necessary !!! (all the rezensions at GooglePlay of S2Ext are positiv. So what is going on at my WFS?)

* Did you try to reconstruct the processes on my side meanwhile by using ext3/4?... I do expect that S2Ext options will be disabled on your side as well, are they??... Etc....

So please also describe in detail

what is displayed on your side

at Settings / Apps / All at the bottom? You didn't mention unfortunately!

Cause I am sure that my S2Ext is NOT working! The more apps I install the more increases my free storage amount (early 152 MB) !

I beg your pardon but why shouldn't this value be trusted?...

I would be happy to get clear explanations and a solution from you.

In fact you assured that your version CM10 will work fine.

I would wonder if you would have overlooked so many things!? ;)

So there must be s.th. concrete that I am doing wrong or a clear bug in this package, shouldn't there?...

Many greetings to you.
[HTC Wildfire S] niks255:
For me it was showing the correct values when I installed a few apps.

Yes, that value will decrease since you didn't link the whole data partition to ext. Also don't be wondering if you left applications data on internal memory.

Well, in case you don't know: I don't spend my life trying every possible combination and every possible action. All I can test is my case, which is ext2. And it was working pretty good.

I've been using this rom for a pretty long time and I was quite satisfied. In fact, you are one of the few who reported bugs. What do you expect me to do? Simple2ext is not my project and your issue appears to be a bug of this app. I will test it later but I don't think I will be able to fix it.
[HTC Wildfire S] Falk2:
YEs, the low negative value changed to a correct value after installation of some apps. Also in my case!

But the higher one decreases quite fast although I activated the fourth option (data linking) as well!

I think this shouldn't be, should it?

So what will happen when the 150 MB of free memory will be decreased to zero after a handful of apps? No more apps allowed?

So it works like INT2EXT+ then? (but this one links not any app data - as far as I know...)

Or which app data are not linked when I activate the fourth option?...

Where can I see how much space is left in my 1,6GB EXT3 partition?... Is it the digit at the top right of S2Ext app, right?

Will I normally reach its limitation before the real internal space (145 MB) is gone to 0?...

Maybe I should try and test it by myself... ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] mxtomek:
Hello,

Total beginner here.

Yesterday I rooted my device and istalled this version.

Almost decided to use that version, but there is no app to make pictures.

Something wrong, because i don't see camera icon, there is only one in unlock menu but it not starts after selecting it.
[HTC Wildfire S] niks255:
Wait, how much of internal memory you have left? It decreases of course, but I never had less than 100 mb, even though I have 50+ apps installed.

As far as I know, it just moves /data/app (also /data/app-private if you choose to move it), /data/data, /data/dalvik-cache and /data/cache to ext partition, but everything else is left on internal memory. You sure you chose to move everything?
[HTC Wildfire S] Falk2:
Hallo Nick,

everything around Simple2Ext is VERY strange!

I meanwhile installed plenty of apps and finally it stopped after the 41th app now. Why?

Error message: "Error during download of app ... Too low memory!".

These are the reasons for my confusion:

1.) 'Settings / Apps / on SD card': Only 21 apps are on my SD card. Why only half of them?...

2.) 'Settings / Apps / Downloads': 20 MB occupied, 130 MB free. So why is there any storage problem??...

3.) App 'S2E', at top: DATA: 15 MB, EXT: 1138 MB. So data is the problem. Why?... Cause doesn't this is part of the internal phone storage which still has 130 MB free memory?

Can you explain those contradictions??...

Unfortunately there is no word about all that in GooglePlay about S2E.

So my question still again: As I set the fourth option in S2E (application data) S2E should not work like INT2EXT+ but like INT2EXT which has no memory space problem at all!! And INT2EXT links all data like S2E should do. So WHY does it have space problems then ???...

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

So if seems as if I cannot install more apps with S2E than with INT2EXT] which means that the fourth option *link of app data( does NOT work.

So I am afraid I have to use INT2EXT (not INT2EXT4 cause an EXT2 partition is forced! Why???...) or Links2SD!?...

That would be a very sad result. A bug in option four!

Would be nice to hear from you detailed comments and hopefully explanations about this and your further experiences!

Thank you very much, Nick.
[HTC Wildfire S] Kevinjoa:
All these bugs you claim have nothing to do with the rom. Go for link2sd or int2ext+, both won't be give you unlimited space but a good mix of installing more apps and performance.

Have a nice day and greetings ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] Falk2:
Hallo Kevinjoa,

sorry, I would like to correct you in several points:

1.) "nothing to do with the rom": I am discussing this with Nick because of an exchange of our experiences. So I hope to find out reasons and maybe workarounds.

1b.) I also hope to find an explanation for the mentioned strange amounts like 130 MB free (which are not). Maybe it is me who does a mistake!?...

2.) Links2SD and INT2EXT(4) offer a FULL linking support. You can fill your whole external partition. So I must correct you here. I definitly know this from own experiences!!

3.) I still don't understand the EXT2 conversion of Nick's ROM. Did you find out this meanwhile?

Have a nice evening!
[HTC Wildfire S] niks255:
Then it's S2E bug, which I can't fix on my side.

The fact you don't see it in comments on google play probably means nobody reports it there. They do it on 4pda, xda or send email to its dev. This app is meant for CM users only, which are mostly experienced.

Seems like int2ext is better solution for you. To remove simple2ext from the rom, remove its apk and its script from /system/etc/init.d.
[HTC Wildfire S] Falk2:
Hallo Nick, hallo Kevinjoa.

The next news now for you...

I continued testing and I found out now that I should activate option 5 of S2E as well: the Dalvik chache. I did that when I saw that it is very full and assumed that I could win lots of space maybe.

And in fact IT WAS!!

Now I could install all of my 58 apps. And speed does not seem to be really slower.

The DATA amount at S2E at top increased from 15 to 143 MB. So there is plenty of space now.

SO THIS WAS THE SOLUTION ! A message specially also to Kevinjoa!!

But at 'Settings / Apps / Downloads' at bottom the 'used space' amount is again curious: '-7616512,00 B'. But never mind...

So which options of S2E did you set? I mentioned that I set only 1 and 4.

And now as everything still runs extremly fast I suppose that I had those performance probems with CM10.1 and CM11 at last only because I chnaged over to EXT4 and installed them with INT2EXT4 but even the most actual Marvin versions of the recoveries CWM and TWRP - which BOTH should support EXT4 - changed my EXT4 partition to EXT3 without sense and message!! A very strange thing but it is true.

Could that be?... I will try that later...

So what do you say now?? You both seem not to have expected and known all that, right?

Do you know what is the difference between the two scripts INT2EXT and INT2EXT4 ??...

Is it possible that this slowed down my speed so much?...
[HTC Wildfire S] Falk2:
Hallo Nick,

would be nice to get a feedback from you to above.

Aren't you happy with what I found out?...

May I ask you a little additional question?

The camera of CM10.0/10.1 is very quick to start but a very old version with less features. What is the name of the apk (as it is not camera.apk) and how can I exchange it with a version of CM11? (e.g. with shutter button selectable, own gallery by wipe)

This actual version can be installed by GooglePlay so I know that it is available. But all of them have very nerving advertising.

Remark: The CM10.2/11 versions cannot be installed at CM10.0/10.1. I failed with that.

Thank you very much.

Signal problem

Hi, sometimes (during the day) I must "unlock" my SIM card (and I also because of this lost signal). How to solve this?

Rooting Xperia Z

Sorry to ask this, but does your root work with an Xperia Z

c6606

10.4.C.0.814 running android 4.3. The phone is from T-Mobile if that makes a difference. It is not unlocked. I'm brand new to rooting, but my warranty of one year just ended, so I wanted to try rooting. Also, does the root delete any data, like pictures? Sorry to bother you with this question I'm very unexperienced.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m0b1f0n3:
Just rooted an Xperia ZL C6506 to Android 4.3 using Bin4ry's v.36 root kit!

I have my 2nd unlocked Xperia ZL C6506 phone (after the 1st one fried)! I upgraded the OS via OTA to Android 4.4.2 and then 4.4.4. The phone kept connecting to Baidu servers on a constant basis but only when on LTE in California. I would then delete the Baidu folder created (sometimes every 3 minutes!) The phone kept connecting to Baidu servers and the Baidu subdirectory kept getting created on the internal SD, the phone kept rebooting every 3-5 minutes and it kept overheating.

I finally got fed up and rooted my phone yesterday, using Bin4ry's v.36 rooting toolkit. I'm on Android 4.3 now. I originally tried the firmware 10.4.B.0.569 which performed better in terms of battery life and phone temperature, as well as the Enterprise Service not starting (in Security | Device administrators). I got greedy and flashed the 10.4.1.B.0.101 firmware (still Android 4.3) since it's newer. I noticed the Enterprise Service getting selected after rebooting, although I turn it off (uncheck it.)

Regardless, this rooting method saved me lots of grief and worked great. By the way, I tried all the options of the application, and the one that worked was option "0) New Z2 Root Method by cubeandcube (thanks man!)" [I think the developer's ID is actually "cubeundcube"]

Thanks Bin4ry for an awesome application!
