Yes that works. Flash nosdcard kernel first ... (but make sure u do first cwm_repart for nosdcard version... then flash nosdcard kernel) then put ROM kernel and what u all need for install files to sdcard0 (internal one) ... then reboot to recovery ... and format sdcard1 as vfat .... this will format your real sdcard .....

Then install ROM from sdcard0 ....

... then u can do cwm_backup to real sdcard .... then u can again install normal kernel ... and restore backup ...

Sounds complicated :D - Maybe i even mess it up with the steps :D - So use also your Brain ;)

Also don't forget to power off the phone after cwm_reparted .... then boot to recovery and format /system "/sdcard as vfat" and wipe data. ... that step is ALWAYS needed once u perform any cwm_reparted scripts !!

Enjoy !
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Kurajmo:
Eee its too complicated for me.

I think i use my second micro SD card.

First i wipe my current micro SD card in Ace 2.

Then boot to recovery. Format all in recovery.

Turn off ace.

Put second card with rom.

Install rom from second card.

Turn off phone.

Put 16gb micro SD card.

What you mean repart cwm?

I don't do before anything like this.

Dont know what this do extacly.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Yeah that works too. If u never had reparted your phone, then u don't need to perform this step. since you've probably still the original layout with 1,2GB for /data and 1,1GB for sdcard0. Not the Best Solution.

cwm_reparted scripts will just resize your internal partitions in the phone for more efficient use of precious internal Flash Space :)

i.e. if u repart your phone to have only 1MB for sdcard0 ... then u'll have the maximum space on /data = up to 3GB !

This also adjust the Size of /system. In order to fit smallest gapps on the current Android Version.

But be aware that my scripts are only adapted to this CM11 with the use of smallest gapps.

The Version for nosdcard .. just use 1GB for sdcard0 and then it'll adapt /system and the "rest" space is moved to /data (for user apps) which result in 2GB Space :)

As u can see, it's in every case convenient to repart the Phone in order to not waste the internal Space.

How this works, u can read on Post #3.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Kurajmo:
I just finished flash everything like you said at first time.

Now my memory looks like this.

Wheres sdcard 0?

And can i put obb file in my sdcard 1?

Without combine?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
actually there is no recent kernel that can access both sdcards ... but it'll work on next build like a already said.

So for now, u can access always only one sdcard ... by changing kernel .... (normal vs. nosdcard kernel)

And your Partition layout is still the original one ... (/data 1,2GB) .. but that's maybe not a problem ... if it's enough for u.

So there is actually orginal size of sd0 with 1,1GB .. but actually it isn't mounted at all .... just wait for update ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Kurajmo:
Yup.

But i have one final question.

What i need to do when i want upgrade cm11 from old to newest version?

I need format again my scdard 1 and loss all my data?

Or just wipe all in recovery and install newest cm version?

You know i done 16gb backup of my content from sdcard to cloud.

I lost 2 days for this. Because my provider (Orange) suck those day.

And downloading all this again when i want to upgrade is little frustating.

Can i keep all my stuff on vfat 16gb card and install newest cm build?

Eh its complicated all this stuff without pc.

And much complicated compare to other Android device.

I remember when i repart old ZTE V970 (2gb for app install).

This stuff be easy compare to Ace 2.

And no need to format sdcard.

But if is needed then i do this.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Only flash CM11 ... if it's not too old ... and if u don't want a clean installation ... that's it!

Nope.

Yeah.

Yes, of course ... without PC isn't that easy to manage things.

It's usually not needed, but it's only needed if u want 100% clean installation or if the Filesystem of the sdcard is broken.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
I still can't find spiritFM_free issue: "No FM accessible"

The Error only seem to appear on a clean installation (wipe data) ...

So far i've tested till to the build: 20161009.

Need to test later build 20160910 and older builds ....

If someone can help with testing builds ... it would be great ... because i'm still low on time.

So u can speed up new release :)

If someone incl. myself, will test some builds, i.e. 20160910 ... then we should post this immediately after the test is done, so that somebody else will not test the same build once again !

Tip:

In a case of Error Message like above, then uninstall spiritFM and install it like an usual app from your sdcard...

I'm mentioning this trick because i remember me that on some old builds this solution worked.

edit:

20160910 --> No

20160901 --> No

20160510 --> No

Strange, on my phone with 20170207 Spirit FM unlocked works (i can listen to the radio) even after clean install.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Hi, Thanks for the info!

Can u maybe test on a clean installation, so wipe data and format /system, if the latest build the included spirit free apk will work ??

Maybe something is broken on my Phone ....

Anyway i'm trying now with new spirit free apk from the internet ... maybe it's also broken.

edit:

it's also not working ... hmm really strange.

I'll try later with an CM11 from Rox or Chrono.

If it'll still not work, then maybe my FM Chip is broken ...

I'll also test on my mothers ace 2 .. but i've access on Saturday or Sunday.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Have you tried checking the Superuser permission to the app and eventually removing it?

What should i test? 20170207 or the one you're testing before release?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Yes ... but no luck. Yes the latest from FTP.

I'm testing now Chronos and Rox's CM11 ...

edit:

no one CM11 work for me ...

I'll flash now Stock GB ROM to see if the FM Chip work at all :)

- Stock ROM FM APP works !

I'll try completely fresh installation ... maybe something went wrong! ;)

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
It's the ROM. On my phone 20170323 (even with 20170207 kernel) no FM accessible. 20170207: Spirit Free works. It's not the app package because trying 20170207 Spirit Free apk still makes 20170323 ROM no FM accessible. It's not the kernel because Spirit Unlocked works with kernel 20170323 on ROM 20170207. Every ROM tried as clean install.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Pls compare both build.prop files... List changes and try to use latest Rom with old build.prop. again as clean install like always.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
In build 20170323 build.prop lists dalvik.vm.heapsize=48m and art.vm.heapsize=48m, while on 0207 the value is 128m for both.

Other than this nothing else. Changing values to 128m doesn't make a difference, Spirit Free still shows error.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Both ROM's are same ... i've only changed this 128m Value and updated kernel + control app !

Not recompiled, because there is no changes in source code.

So that's why i can't get the point why it's not working anymore .....

Spirit FM Free worked for me always .... but since i did a completely clean install (also sdcards) .. now i can't make it to work anymore ....

Tried a lot of CM11 builds ... always as clean install ... but always NO FM accessible :(

I'm out of ideas ... maybe i'll check deeper the logcat + kmsg.

Tanx for update . I use cm11 with sdcard . So since u update reparted .. should I flash repart again or just flash rom + sd kernel?? I,m using perivious build and I,m going to try dirty install for latest one ...

Installed kernel 20170323 but Bluetooth didn't work ??? It accepts a file transfer & promptly fails. Rolled bck Kernel to previous & all is fine.

Probably not needed... But it's Better to do so.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:

If so, switch to permissive mode and try again with BT...

But toggle it first.

Report if it works... It's just for debugging.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
This won't happen to me. Kernel 20170323 and ROM 20170207. [MENTION=7264663]Sidebandit[/MENTION] are you running 20170323 ROM too? Since Bluetooth turns briefly on right before Spirit Free shows missing permission error. Maybe something related to Bluetooth is the problem here.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Sidebandit:
Ok. Q1 i did not use the latest kernel with the latest rom and my Ace 2 is reparted plus has a Sd card.

.

Update, Just installed latest rom (Dirty) and i now get the option to move apps to sd card but of course it wont work because its reparted plus many apps have disappeared. Flashed sd card kernel version 20170323 and no change from the installation of the latest Rom/normal kernel.

What works for me is ace2nutzer.kernel.4.4.x_20170207_codina.p.l.zip with ROM 20170207, everything works even moving apps to sd card.

My sd card is formatted in vfat.

I dont want lose any data from sd card.

On this 20170207 version. Sometimes some apps force close. This is strange. Because i dont use them.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] tonick1409:
It not help me, app started ok, then i press power, audio, screeb gpu or advanced and app become crash

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Farzin 073:
Just flash latest rom+sd kernel ... nothing wrong till now . Tanx Ace2nutzer ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
U don't need to do a full wipe for every update.

Just flash the ROM ... and then the sd-kernel if u don't need the real sd0.

All wipes except wipe data, are performed automatically by installer.

sdcards wipes are never performed by installer because of private data files.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Kurajmo:

Any news about the possible reason of Spirit malfunction?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@up

I've made again completely full new installation ... and then installed an test-kernel (newest)

Then this time i didn't check spiritFM directly after first boot ... but i've first flashed gapps and did all my settings + customizations on ROM's first (general settings) ... also enabled privacy for the spiritFM app ...

Then i tried it and see there it works !!

Then i flashed over that the latest official kernel release .. and it's still working!

So actually i can't say what was the problem :o

I'll upload soon new kernel ... also new app version ... i'll try to fix app FC when license is missing and there is no working play store.

Don't know ... but u can check kernel + partial wakelocks .. to see what is the reason .... that's why this app comes built-in .... then u guys can check by yourself if everything is working fine :)

If u don't understand what's showing.. then u can also post BBS logs here.

@up

what is that precisly ?? Did u mean an Module ?? Network-Filesystem ??

If yes, for what is that good or needed ?

Cool thanks ! I don't need that.. but for some users surely interesting thing ! - Maybe i'll introducing this 4.3 Kernel on Download section.. so that every user can see and find this... if u or any other user like to build my kernel for other Android Versions.. just feel free to make this.. i'll add this on Downlaod section with proper credits :)

[MENTION=5695278]ChronoMonochrome[/MENTION]

Thanks for advice, i'll think about it.. actually i found my new toy ---> "real racing 3" and i'm working really hard to improve gaming performance to make this game smooth.... if all attemps are failed, or the result is not fully smooth, then i'll OC DDR :)

But i believe u that, that drains much battery.. this is also one reason why i don't implement this feature till now. :o

btw: next build is coming with a good changelog.. improved many things.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
However, I didn't mean, that this change itself causing battery drain, when not OCing DDR, then everything is unchanged. Actually I pushed few changes, and one(or more) of them probably caused lesser SOT. Although don't know whether it's from ROM or kernel, will try your CM11 build to determine this. :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Peedy2495:
My whole Infrastructure is driven by Linux, with using nfs-shares only.

Cause missing nfs capabillity of our "smart"-phones (both i8160) I have to run cifs-shares for those phones.

So, for me nfs isn't a goodie, only.

If this part spends not much time for you to compile, I would be very glad about your help.

Hi, Is the kernel for android 4.3 ROMS above have the "same features" with your kernel [MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION]?

i want to try it with my 4.3.1 CM 10.2 :D

thanks.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Okay.... what u need precisly.. i need more infos.. u need only NFS for client.. the standard version.. or for version 3 or 4.

The same with Server... but i think only as module...

If [MENTION=4881398]PolishVodka[/MENTION] didn't change anything and just compiled.. then yes... pls name it correctly with the date / version. thanks.

I dont know if this is rom specific problem.

Im using f2fs Build11/18 and kernel 12/20 in art.

anyone having same issues like me?

I flashed the rom last 3days.

yes it was my 1st flashing of custom rom.

I haven't tried it via browser, but using the latest Facebook app from store is fine so far for me. I rarely use it though.

I don't think it's coz of art since I'm also using art. So far, the only issue I am having with art is only updating whatsapp. Other than that, art is great :D

okay. I'll implement Network Filesystem NFS V3 Client in next version.

@ all with whatzapp and ART .. u all can't update this app ? maybe anyone tried to uninstall W.APP and install it again? Maybe that will work ? Anyone already tried this ? Or is this still W.APP Issue itself ?

@ Pictures ..

I don't think it's F2FS problem.. try to format internal and external sdcard as vfat ... (make backup before.. for sdcard0 and 1)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] S.AMU:

[MENTION=5420755]whatsapp[/MENTION]

True. It is whatsapp issue. I have tried uninstalling and then do another install and it didn't work. We'll just have to wait until whatsapp officially supports art.

Just curious though, have anyone tried switching back to dalvik just for the update and then go back to art? I haven't tried it myself but some people says it should work.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
yeah.. thx for the confirmation. I think it should work too... but this is too creazy... so it's better to wait an proper update :)

Can pls someone write it here when the update works ? THX !

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

I dont fully understand what you write.

But my think tell me you want try ace2nutzer rom.

Just flash latest stock 4.1 with odin, then update temp cwm and install latest cm11 build.

This custom work on both I8160 and I8160 variant.

Without problem i hear. You may try.

If something goes wrong. You can still flash latest stock rom for Ace 2

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

@ace2nutzer

Is any hope to add newest build with full reparted cm11?

I dont want to waste my internal memory for apps etc. Just want maximum space to install app. Now i have only 100mb when i install only several needed app on Ace 2.

Maybe you create build which i can flash directly in cwm. And have access to all memory on Ace 2?

Everything i have on my sd card. Like music etc. But this low space for app sometimes make me mad
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Sidebandit:
No, sorry for not being clear.... I want to use the bricked la fluer housing for my good Ace 2 with your rom on it.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
[MENTION=4802494]Kurajmo[/MENTION]

i can't automate this process .. too much tricky and unneeded.

It's not complicated indeed.

Check Post #3. for:

How - to Repartition your internal Flash Memory NEW VERSION !:

And choose the reparted variant according to your kernel/sd-config.

So, if u are using standard kernel for both sdcards, then use this method:

cwm_cm11_partition_layout.zip

and follow below the instructions:

Here we go !!

After that, everything is like before, but with more space for apps!

If u decide to use the ace2 always with sdcard inserted, then install first the sdcard_only kernel and choose then that variant:

cwm_cm11_partition_layout_sdcard_only.zip

here u'll have 3GB for apps, instead 2GB ..... but still more than original 1,2GB :)

btw: this is already very easy solution, .... 2 years ago for the same result, it was needed to repart the internal memory with ADB by typing a lot of commands.... and there was also the change to brick the phone if u did smthg wrong ....

But now over cwm scripts, nothing can happen .... 100% safe if u read post #3.

Have Fun !

Edit:

just forgot to mention, of course u need some free space on your sdcard .... there it should fit the content from /system + /data !! .. it should be approx 1,8GB !!! (u need this free space on sdcard for the cwm backup .... )
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Kurajmo:
OK to be sure about what i do to my phone and sd card.

My sd card is formatted in vfat

Like on screenshoot.

I need only wipe everything in cwm. Then install repartition script and install cm11?

I dont lose anything from sd card?

I can install cm11 from my sd card?

I ask cause dont want to lost anything. But want to fresh install cm11 with maximum avaible space for app install. Like you said 3gb.

I good think or no?

Sorry for bother you.

But i want to be sure about what i do with my phone.

I dont have a PC to do this in other way.
