@up

no need to apologize :)

I've updated Post #1.

i suggest to re-download cwm recovery, and flash it at first ... then choose: "Reboot recovery" and proceed installation.

U'll see only sdcard0 in cwm ... that's is your micro-sd card. this also fixes some errors (even if not really important one ... but... ;) )

Also it looks like that on latest cwm package finally /data partition is mounted always, and not only sometimes :D

BE AWARE, if someone want to use latest ROM with real sdcard0, then unpack the package and remove line:

from updater-script ! also u'll need to replace the kernel with 19/07 one.

For more Informations, please check Post #3.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
yes, but make sure to install first cwm recovery ... even if it's already installed , because i did some changes in scripts. Only this time, later u don't need to flash same recovery again on next update ! ;)

So enjoy that Update :)

Who did not reparted_v1.1.zip memory, set the CM11 20160802 and ace2nutzer.kernel.4.4.x_20160719 or lower and NovaThorSettings_v1.7.4 ???
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] jordirpz:
Please, my phone doesnt boot in recovery?, is possible flash it vía odin?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Install http://d-h.st/C0yG by Odin and then install "normal" recovery by CWM.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] fonzacus:
this is scary, a bit

so if i wanted to clean install from a pre repartitioned rom, ill have to

flash cwm_stock_reparted, then reparted

reboot to recovery

format /system, data, caches

mount /system

flash recovery

flash kernel (or maybe just the rom?)

novathor disable swap storages

reboot
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Vlang:
I am still on 07.18 ROM/ 07.19 kernel, and for me it looks like if I want to use latest ROM/kernel I need to:

a) follow "up to 07.19 kernel" repartitioning guide (including installing reparted_V1.0.zip);

b) flash cwm 6.0.5.0 recovery (from FTP) and then the newest ROM package (which includes all wipes, kernel and so on);

c) again, follow repartitioning guide, but the one for 07.30.+ kernels (including installing cwm_stock_reparted_v1.1 and then reparted_v1.1).

Am I right? Do I have to repartition twice? Because I don't see any other option if I don't want to have that 1MB sdcard0, since:

1) to use that second guide I have to be on 07.30.+ kernel,

2) if I want to have a 07.30.+ kernel, I need to have already done repartitioning.

P.S. after writing the whole thing I conclude that cwm_stock_reparted_v1.1 is for reverting the first repartitioning process and reparted_v1.1 is for doing it again, but with a better result (no 1MB sdcard0) so everything makes sense now. Anyways, I wait for a short "Yes" reply if I haven't messed up anything indeed.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] andon0v:
still get some error in the recovery, i backed up the currnet rom (latest), after that it started to show some error which say u doesnt have enough space on the sd card, but the backup was successful, dont know if this is a big thing or know issue

also dont know but this android mass storage is little buggy, to get it work (on windows 10) need to turn off and on the usb debugging otherwise the device isnt visible in the windows connected devices
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Cursed Chico:
I have made repartition (it shows 1 gb sd card and 28 gb sdcard0). I installed 2 weeks ago. now i will follow those

DIRTY INSTALLATION - All your Apps + Settings will stay on place !

Wipe Apps Cache (Settings ----> Storages ----> tap on "Cached data" .. and confirm deletion)

Reboot to Recovery

install in a row:

http://www.xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/Kernel/

from here ace2nutzer.kernel.4.4.x_20160806_codina.p.l.zip insatall

Reboot system

i wont install any other things? and my app caches will be deleted also, for example i had logged in to twitter, after installation , again do i have to login?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
@ up

Just follow dirty installation method on Post #1.

Also make sure that u've flashed cwm recovery.

Wipe apps cache has nothing to do with logins.

that was not needed, just download recovery:

http://www.xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/recovery/

unpack and move the recovery.cpio to /recovery

reboot to recovery :)

Why u want to develop your own flash method ?

u quoted already your own answer to your own question ;)

Yes, u only need cwm_stock_reparted_v1.1 + reparted V1.1.

Otherwise everything is messed up :)

Also old Repartitions scripts was buggy, and was causing Kernel2 Partition to be broken, and for example it wasn't very easy (or not possible at all) to flash Chrono Kernel.

U can ignore all errors for /cache + sdcard0 ... they will later not appear anymore once u've followed all my instructions ... but don't worry, the only important thing is that it's able to backup /data ... all other things can be easily rebuild again, by simply flashing those missing packages i.g. flashing ROM.

And nope, there is nothing buggy, u've to disable first USB Debugging if u want to use USB Mass Storage. Anyway here on Linux i even don't need to disable USB Debugging .. it just works fine with USB Mass Storage !! - Linux simply better ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] _eMDy_:
Hello. Could someone make me a well-written/detailed step-by-step guide on repartioning? I'm having a hard time understanding ace2nutzer's guide. I softbricked my phone 2 times already. I'm currently on ace2nutzer's latest ROM and Kernel. My sdcard0 can't be read anymore and it automatically set my SD Card (sdcard1) as the sdcard0. Please help me do the repartition. Tell me what files should be in my phone to be flashed. You help will be much appreciated. Thank you!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
This sounds like you repartitioned correctly.

Why did you say you softbricked your phone?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] _eMDy_:
I don't think I repartitioned it. The install of the latest ROM automatically swapped my SD Card (16 gb) and the sdcard0 (USB Storage). What I want the result would be is the 3gb data that ace2nutzer said.

I softbricked my phone in a mysterious way... I was trying to boot to recovery but it won't boot. It will skip it and reboot normally. I tried rebooting it by enabling something in advance reboot settings. And when I rebooted using power menu > reboot > recovery, ta'da! My phone is stuck on Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-I8160.

So, yeah. Right now I'm on the latest ROM. Not touching anything at the moment. I just have GApps installed. And still, no sdcard0, just sdcard1 that is read as sdcard0
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
Well, that isn't a soft brick. You just can't load recovery.

Did you do a clean install and followed all the steps?

The 3gb would be for /data partition, not sdcard0. The latest kernel combined with the repartition steps removes sdcard0 in our phone and makes sdcard1 as sdcard0.

This has been explained in quite detail by ace2nutzer.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] _eMDy_:
I can't do anything with my phone anymore except boot it into download mode so I guess its a soft brick. I don't know, at least I fixed it.

That 3gb /data partition is the internal storage right? The default place where apps are installed? If so, that's what I want to do because right now I only have 1gb of internal storage.

Edit/Update: I just want to inform you guys that I still can't boot into recovery even after trying the fix in post #5557 by ace2nutzer. So, I don't know what to do. I can't repartition because I can't boot into recovery...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Dr360r:
Try going into download mode, connecting usb to the computer, flashing the Odin kernel through Odin, and then kernels 160730 and beyond if you reparted, and 160719 if you haven't, these last two through the now working cwm . Then start everything again.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] _eMDy_:
What kernel am I going to download? The ".zip" one or the ".zip.md5"? I'm confused since it has a low size (Only 33 bytes)

Also I have Odin3 v3.11.1, where among the "BL", "AP", "CP", and "CSC" would I put the kernel I'm going to flash?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] andon0v:
download this, http://d-h.st/C0yG, flash it through odin (put the .tar file in the AP bar, AP=PDA)

and u need to flash .ZIP file, not .md5 (its just to check if the downloaded .zip file isnt corrupted, but the kernel is in the .zip file), after u flash the odin kernel, as [MENTION=6902149]Dr360r[/MENTION] said if u didnt repart, flash the 160719 kernel
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] _eMDy_:
Oh, thank you for this simple yet great instructions haha.

After flashing 160719 kernel, can I go for the latest one (160806) next?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] andon0v:
First u need to repart, then u can go, btw [MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION] made the guide easy to understand, if u follow the steps, u cant brick the phone
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] _eMDy_:
I think I'm getting the hang of it... I apologize for maybe blaming ace2nutzer's guide.

So, first I will need to repart by following the guide for kernels 160719 right?

On the first step, it says "Move all Files from sdcard0 to sdcard1 !!!", I don't understand what it means. I don't have anything important anyway, could I skip this?

Next step is "Make a cwm backup !", I don't get it... How do I? There's no option about it on the recovery. Or could I skip again? :/

12th step, "restore your cwm backup". I don't know where to get it's backup, I also don't know how to restore it...

Please help me....
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] andon0v:
no, if u want to repart with the new way, u dont need to reepart with the old way. just flash the 20160719 kernel and download on your sd card the latest kernel from yesterday+reparted1.1, stock reparted v1.1 and new recovery. Yes if u dont have anything on the internal storage, just skip the step.

To backup, just go to recovery->backup and restore->backup to sdcard1(u are still with the old recovery), to restore it (u will be now with the new), go to advanced restore from sdcard0 and restore only data+system
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] _eMDy_:
Awesome! I can't tell you how happy I am right now. Thank you very much! You deserve more "thanks".

My knowledge about my phone became better. From rooting > custom ROM's > and finally to repartioning.

Thank you once again! :D
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] andon0v:
u need to thank to [MENTION=5840412]ace2nutzer[/MENTION], not me, he keeps our device alive
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] _eMDy_:
Well, I still thank you for helping me with my problem and of course, ace2nutzer for, yeah, keeping our device alive. This phone is now 4 years in me. I hope I could still keep this until 2020 which is my goal.

Right, so, thank you once again! I'll stay silent for now and just keep on watching this thread for more news :)

ace2nutzer, since your name is "ace2". I hope you won't give up on our phones until its last battery percent. As always, awesome work from you. Maybe someday we'll move on from KitKat to Lollipop or Marshmallow. I don't know. As long as its keeps our phone alive, its great :)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Cursed Chico:
My phone keeps restarting now. It cant load cwm or os after i did those:

Wipe Apps Cache (Settings ----> Storages ----> tap on "Cached data" .. and confirm deletion)

Reboot to Recovery

install in a row:

http://www.xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-...nutzer/Kernel/

from here ace2nutzer.kernel.4.4.x_20160806_codina.p.l.zip insatall

then restarted.

It was very short and it did not give errors(i thought no errors but probably warninigs) so i wanted to check if it was installed or not. Because in log it was saying, this is suitable for i8160 and others.

So when i went to settings about phone , i saw my old version 17.07.2016 codina and then i again cleared cache and dideboot-recovery-ok

Then it started to go into restart loop.

I had backed up at the beginnning.

Any help :( i followed commands , i dont understand why happaned
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] [-GuTi-]:
This guy... Every thread thousands of questions in simple actions.

You are installing kernel, not ROM, and wipes need to do in recovery.

Just look in instruction for Clean install, and make it step by step.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Cursed Chico:
Those are instructions

DIRTY INSTALLATION - All your Apps + Settings will stay on place !

Wipe Apps Cache (Settings ----> Storages ----> tap on "Cached data" .. and confirm deletion)

Reboot to Recovery

install in a row:

codina ROM

Kernel (if newer Version is available confronted to the kernel version from ROM-changelog)

NovaThorSettings.APK (if newer Version is available, check Changelogs)

GAPPS (if u want to use "Play Store")

I8160P_Support_V.xx.zip (if NFC Variant)

and

Reboot system

i did them. Only i did not install

those. I only installed rom and now i cant even go inside cwm. If i can go, i have backup and can save.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] _eMDy_:
What's the work-around for this?

Some games/apps downloaded/installed fine like Facebook, Messenger and even Pokemon GO.

I think the sound stuttering haven't been fully fixed. It certainly doesn't happens every time the screen switches on/off anymore, but it sometimes is there. If it matters, I was using Spotify with DSP manager, also activated LPA, AnaGain, and HsHPEn from NT-app.

What's more is that with the latest using the same stable configuration as before, I've got some reboots. Here is the latest log if you wanna see into it:

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] doctormord:
Well, i must say that the latest kernel version is not stable at 1150 for me. The last one did.

I guess, i'll get back to ROX kernels and ROX image, as they work.

can the com.android.incallui app autoloaded and locked in the memory? maybe it can help to decrease the huge time of incall screen appearing.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
I'm on latest ace2nutzer cm build with the latest kernel. I use f2fs and ART, without repartition for now. I have long to enjoy my phone like that. It's very fast, it has been stable so far and battery life is at last good again. Thanks

For people with issues, maybe you should check again your formating/wiping methods and what you leave behind on SDs after upgrade or rom switch perhaps?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] BlueZ-:
Without repartition? And how much free memory you have in /data and /system?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
^^^

/system has 70mb free - 7%

/data is at 363mb - 29%
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] BlueZ-:
o.O it's almost the same for me with ext4 and dalvik...
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] nikolas1274:
Your phone is empty, without apps?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] acrocosm:
Well, I'm using pico gapps and have converted some system apps to user and then removed them. Apollo for example was replaced with hiki player which is tiny, file manager with total commander and nova for sicksky. Live wallpapers were useless as sound recorder as i can use a multitrack recorder i use anyway.

Then i dont have too many apps. But I do have all my music creation apps (sunvox, caustic, kosmisch, j4t), some everyday tools like copilot,skype,dropbox,drive,mega. Some general tools like app2sd, wakelock detector, aparted, adaway. Then i got my isochronic/binaural/noise generators and finaly some games, pixel dungeon, scummvm, snes9x, rin.

I still have some space left if i need it and as for large games, well in many cases even a clean ext4 with dalvik would need repartition anyway
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] LyrixTheDj:
Use this subj (fs2fs|ART) about two weeks, all is perfect for me! But maybe somebody knows how to remove annoying "sound pause" when received incoming calls? It's when you say "allo" three times, before you will be heard.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] MarquesYOLO:
Can you please explain how you convert system apps to user and remove them? Thanks
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] shaqman89:
I am not sure how he did it, but in general you could easily do it by something like titanium backup. I usually use link2sd to do the task.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
In CWM with ADB ..... then simply move xxxx.apk from /system/app to /data/app .. that's it !

Download and install this Samsung USB Driver for Samsung Galaxy Ace 2: http://samsungusbdriver.com/download/samsung-driver-v1-5-60-0

P.S. Does anyone know how to fix my problem? My post is just a few scroll above.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Did u followed steps by post #3 ?

U probably didn't repartition your device, also u didn't install recovery, so it can't load recovery.

download recovery:

http://www.xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/recovery/

unpack and move file: recovery.cpio to /recovery in phone.

If u don't see the folder "/recovery" on your phone, then u can skip this step, and continue with this:

Download and use ONLY this ODIN Verion:

http://d-h.st/Jze

flash with ODIN this .tar file as PDA

http://d-h.st/C0yG

only check AUTO REBOOT

then u can boot to recovery ...

After this u can proceed with:

Wipe Apps Cache (Settings ----> Storages ----> tap on "Cached data" .. and confirm deletion)

Reboot to Recovery

install in a row:

codina ROM

Kernel (if newer Version is available confronted to the kernel version from ROM-changelog) (actually not needed since latest ROM has already latest kernel inside)

NovaThorSettings.APK (if newer Version is available, check Changelogs) (actually not needed)

GAPPS (if u want to use "Play Store")

I8160P_Support_V.xx.zip (if NFC Variant)

and

Reboot system

The RED marked "flash recovery" means u should install this though cwm:

http://www.xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/recovery/

lol !! :D Don't worry Guys ... Support for this Device will not end in near time :)

But maybe u will not need to stay for the next 10 Years on Ace2 :D

I'm planning to build in near time ace2nutzer kernel for some other Android Devices .. so maybe there is some chance to move to other more modern + bigger phone than our Ace2 and still enjoying ace2nutzer kernel on the new Phone ;)

hmm it's just an username .. so it has nothing to do with my real name.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Sylvinette:
Just downloaded new recovery CWM from http://www.xda.mister-freeze.eu/XDA-files/ace2nutzer/recovery/, when try to updates from recovery, it says "signature verification failed".

I downloaded twice.

Nevermind got it.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
In the latest ROM I can't move an app to SD. I,m almost sure that it was possible in the previous release.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] andon0v:
try the other way with replacing the recovery image, also check the md5 sums, because something can fail while downloading

How u flashed the rom? With the latest kernel or 0719? If u are using the latest kernel, then your SD card is your internal storage, so u cant move to sd from settings, if u are using 0719 version, did u do these steps?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
As I said I came from previous kernel+3gb data.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
I think i'll need to add real sdcard0 with 512mb.

Workaround for now:

Switch storages

Reboot system

Install the app

Switch storages

Reboot system
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
I reflashed 3007 and move to SD is working again. I tried to flash again latest 0608 and guess what, move to SD has the same problem as before..
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] andon0v:
Still dont get what u want. In the latest versions of the kernel u don't have sd card (real sd card is turned as internal) so it's normal that in the settings u can't move to SD. Instead use apps like link2sd
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gepel:
I would like to use my real SD as sd0 because I want to keep the ability to moving apps on SD. This is now possible on 3007 kernel with latest ROM. Please note that I have reparted internal mem on 3gb single partition.
