I think that Qualcomm developed a battery saving fast dormancy technology which is based on putting the radio to sleep when there is no some data use. It need carrier (radio) support to work properly. It use a 3GPP hack to move smartphone to dormancy state faster and by that to save battery. 3GPP have some functions for smartphone to autonomously save battery. My carrier don't support FD so i don't need that and, as some users stated, it brakes data if enabled on unsupported networks.

I made some cleanup on AFH. Building all roms again without sound levels patch. Flashable zip will be available today or tommorow, download it and flash it every time when you doing update...
[HTC One S] Loreane Van Daal:
well, you fixed it. Sound quality is good, have no data drops. Only thing left is cosmetics. Which is very important, isn't it? :)

By my opinion rom tweaks should be @ one place, sorted.

Everything else is ok, excluding battery cause it's to early for me to say.

Why removing sound patch?

And is it possible to dirty flash new version without loosing gapps? When new is flashed over old, have to flash gapps again and update them. Or, have to restore from nand. Which will be veeeeery annoying if updates will be weekly.
[HTC One S] grorg:
I've updated rom yesterday by dirty flushing, and the was no need to reflash gapps.

[HTC One S] Audioffensive:
Downloaded AICP and LS yesterday, and ended up trying AICP again :)

Am on stock kernel for now and it's running nicely. Maybe later on i'll try it with icecode.

Chose it over LS for the fact it has more tweaks. But I really agree with Loreane that all the settings should be neatly organised in 1 menu.

But i know you have nothing to do with that offcourse. You don't make the ROM, you jhst uild it for us.

So hopefully the guys at AICP will head this reqeust from others and they will merge all options into 1 nice menu :)

Pit file

Here's the file you requested.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalgearhathaway:
Hi Sam,

That looks like a proper 32gb pit, unlike some others I have been sent!

So, I can have a play with this one.

But, how big are you looking for your data partition to be? i.e. the area that apps are installed? I reckon somewhere between 8-12gb, but you know better than me how many apps you want installed :)

Let me know what you are looking for and I will make a test file for you.

Of course, like anyone submitting pit files to me, you take the risk in testing, I don't have one of these devices myself so I cannot verify at my risk, unlike how I did for the 16gb variant back in the day :)

Look forward to hearing back from you, make sure you either reply quoting this message or mention me in the post (@metalgearhathaway) otherwise I won't get a notification that you have replied.

Take care,

Chris
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam788:
Hey Chris,

so a bit of progress -possibly- on this, i have been looking around since and it seems like that whole command thing i mentioned in my PM seems to affect the PIT

so per suggestion i used a tool called EFS Professional found here:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/tool-updated-09-06-14-efs-professional-t1308546

Which outputs the PIT file after EFS partition backup ( which should be useful later). I attached the original file, Also i think i got the concept of how to edit it so i used PIT Magic and edited that file with a 1GB for the system partition and 8GB for the Apps and the usual pre-load size ( doesn't bother me). I'm attaching this as well so, please take a look at it and tell me if my alteration is correct.

There's also the signature issue which as i understand is the last bit of the file, i did checked with a HEX editor and it sure wasn't the same after the edit so i went ahead and added again that last lost bit so it matches the original stock PIT file ( it went from 2KB to 3KB ). So, let me know if that's an issue or if the SII isn't affected by this as it was suggested elsewhere ( i also assume by your PIT files sizes).

Other than that i think 8GB is a good place to start, i wont fill it up for a bit or would i!? ;) we'll see.

And yes, i understand the risk and was wondering if there's anything else i should do to minimize it other than making backup for the EFS partition, backup the internal SD and have a fresh CWM backup on the external SD? btw i should i do something about the apps that's already moved to the SD? i'm already running out of space so i wont be able to move them back to the phone..if that's a problem then should i backup one by one through Titanium Backup and uninstall then restore when i restore the ROM after the New PIT or all that would take care of itself as long as i restore the internal SD as it was before i restore the ROM?

EDIT: i know you go over this in step 10, i'm just not sure how if it's gonna prompt to format SD anyway.

Sorry, too much questions but i don't wanna be left high and dry in the middle of this :)

Thanks,

Sam.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalgearhathaway:
Hi Sam,

All looks good to me!

As for precautions, all I can say is have your stock pit file ready if it does not work out! Nandroids do not contain pit information! But I reckon you have guessed that already :)

I find that flashing the pit file together with a sammy stock rom works best, then root and install your prefered os build!

Let me know how you get on! All the best, Chris

sorry, bit distracted these days but wanted to give u a quick update. i actually couldn't wait for your reply and went ahead and did it!! all worked perfectly :)

the only odd thing is that the battery is acting funny now and i already calibrated the chip again, that was the one odd thing but i cant see how this would have affected it.

now it seems like 8GB might have been bit much for my usage but i'll just leave it now plus i know the how-to now anyway ;) are you going to update the files with the 32 version or you dont think it's worth it being just me who asked? anyway, u have a legit stock PIT now, so your call ;)

Hi!

I've applied the Pre-load 45mb / 8GB pit to my S2 (i9100) (and CM kernel stock 06.02.14) and flashed CM11 M11 ...

For some reason, when i want to install the latest Gapps stock package from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 through CWM it gives me the error that there isn't enough space ...

You only have 164636 KB available.

Big problem :(

Hi

I'm new on the forum.

Yesterday I tried to expand the partition of my GT-I9100 phone but with the wrong files :

I used those downloadable on this link : http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development/mod-pit-files-creating-larger-partition-t2552738 instead of those of this thread : http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/mod-partition-internal-memory-app-t2538947.

I thought nothing had happened at first place so in order to exit the download mode I removed the battery.

Since then my phone doesn't boot anymore : no light, no sound, only the dark screen.

Is there something I can do to get back my phone ?

Thanks a lot !

You used a PIT file which maintains the original 512MB system partition size. This is not enough to install Full or even medium apps.

Flash a PIT file with 768MB or 1 GB (i recommend 768MB) system and this will be enough for almost any ROM with Full Gapps.

SGS2 Repartition in fewest steps using Heimdall (not Odin)

Hello all,

My GT-i9100/GalaxyS2 runs CyanogenMod 11M12 & ClockworkRecovery 6.0.x.x;

All works fine except for the limited size of the default 2GB partition (insufficient space to update Apps); plenty of space on the rest of the internal storage.

What is the best way to repartition this? Can I *just* apply a new PIT file using Heimdall?

Heimdall-frontend asks for files for lots of partitions -- what's the minimum I need to supply (for which partitions: GANG, DATAFS, ...) & where do they come from?

Or indeed if I have to supply them all, where to they come from?

- there are loads of how-to guides on XDA and elsewhere, I've spend many hours looking at them, but they don't seem (to my eyes at least) to address the Q's above.

- I realise it'll wipe & reset the phone: not a problem to re-cyanogenmod & set it all up again once repartitioning done 'safely'.

- I don't have access to a Windows/Odin box, so I set it up ages ago using Heimdall following set up following wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100, but that doesn't mention changing partition sizes

- obviously I already have a selection of PITs to try, plus downloads of GAPPs, CyanogenMod, ClockworkRecovery etc -- I just need some guidance and background on how to apply them without bricking the device.

Many thanks in advance.

New Pit file with 2 GB system for Stock GAPPS

Hi all,

after losing almost a day because of a faulty pit file I created my own.

Goal: upgrade S2 to Android 5 with Google Stock package ( biggest one from here http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900 ) and have more data space
