[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Atari-San:
Well, i will be interested soon to try this. The main problem with my Skyrocket's having an 500mb+ game and using micro or mini pa-gapp equivalent from Slim gapp on Kitkat Slimkat and i have some space problem. I know that if i upgrade to lollipop now, i would not get enough space for this game i play each hour. I was planning to use what they proposed as using the external sd card as data folder in a system link style but i would have to invest in a bigger sd card, at which i don't have the money before 3 month max.

So, having a method to repartition the internal storage to get more space for app and system would be great for me and for all of us who would still use the skyrocket or the hercules for future android version beyond lollipop. It would be cool to still being able to use it minimally until the minimal ram requirement for android would be 2gb. At the moment and since 2 year ago, the minimal requirement would be 1gb (a little over 512mb but 768mb do work) for running the newest android decently. I use the HP Touchpad (Tenderloin) each day and every time an new android version has been release, it require to make the system partition a little bigger, that why when WebOS die, someone made a new universal method to repartition it. Many device would be legacy with dead forum without partitioning it like the old Galaxy Nexus or the phoenix of the phone, the HTC HD2.

If possible, with the 11gb of internal storage possible to use on the 16gb model, could be still use the internal storage, something like between 5gb to 8gb if possible ? I don't mind to use only the external sd card and killing the internal one like we did on the HP Touchpad for the shared partition between the dead WebOS and non data/media roms. It would be a small step for a longer supported device. But still having a little space in the internal would be great for storage of more video to watch on the go.

Sorry for the long post. Starting the 27/02/2015, i would be able to do the repartitioning. ;)

I am also having problem using the phone in the 02-12 version. When I call someone they cannot hear me and I cannot hear them. When I receive a call, the same thing happens. This occurs intermittently, and I cannot figure out why? After reboot it seems to work fine for a while. Anybody else with this problem? and any solution. BTW I have OK Google disabled. Also this occurs on a clean install.

Thank You!

Hi Sultan,

THANK YOU so much. You've breathed new life into my trusty S2, and I'm really enjoying all the improvements.

This is my first experience flashing a custom ROM and it has been very positive. Great work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 3rdcoasttx:

Ot happened to me yesterday.. I could not hear anything.. But a reboot fixed.. As far as i know what i did was a soft reboot using link2sd that could it cause it.. Cause i dont do soft rebbots and this time i did didnt worked..

Hi! In my signal bar I am getting and exclamation mark (!) there always. It was also draining my battery very fast. Please resolve soon. :crying::crying::(:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
I always had the exclamation... And i had priblem with battery draining.... What build are you on??.. I was having my phone not going into deep sleep.. Try to check if it does.. Use cpu spy from googleplaystore.. When i used the phone with sim card it will not deep sleep.. Try to see if removinng the sim card makes it deep sleep.. I had that problem.what fixed it was latest build..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silvernode:
I am running a clean install of 02-12 and have been having this issue every day. I know this is a beta build but I don't recall this issue in the last build. I've been checking for updates in this thread for weeks and I am getting close to restoring my backup of sultans stable kitkat build. Anyway I hope it gets solved ASAP since my girlfriend and I love this rom (when it works) and would like to keep using it.

Try setting the APN to cingular. As soon as I did that the exclamation point went away and data started working. I'm curious to see if this works for you, please let me know.

Which Recovery should i used

i'm using CWM recovery 6.0.4.7

do i need to flash the kernel and recovery first to install you rom ?

because now i'm getting error in the sdcard 0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Error in sd card 0 its internal sd select second selection sdcard1

Download philz touch. 6.4.84 for skyrocket its the last update from him...

If you are in stock rom.. Save rom in sd card.. So cwm and kernel ( if you want to adjust some settings).

Enter stock recovery.. Press 3 buttons vol.up vol. Down. And power.. Let go of pkwer when samsung logo appears keeps volumen keys pressed.. Select install zip and choose where you placed the files and select philz cwm.. Thats the recovery..

Then restart.. Let it reboot.. Then take battery off or turn off.. Do the same to go into recovery.. 3 buttons vol.up...vol.down.. And power let go of power button when you see samsung logo.. Keep volume keys pressed..

Once in cwm recovery..

Wipe cache partition x 2

Mount and storage.. select format system x2

Advance... Wipe dalvik cache x 2

Then wipe data factory reset 2 option.. Reset factory default.. X2

Clean to install new rom x 2

This is how i do it.

Select install then chooae second selection.. Its for sd card.. First its for internal..

Choose rom cm12 sultan ect... Install. Let it finish...

Then reboot to systemm it should vibrate when sxreen turns off. And samsu g logo appears.. Let it finish.. It takes around. 6-8 minutes to boot maybe 10 min

.

Let it boot into rom.. Let it settle for 10 mins..

Go to about phone.. Click on build number several times until developer options its enabled

Go to developer options the activate advance reboot..

Press power button then a new window pops select reboot recovery and wait till it reboots to cwm .

Select install gapps..and find where you put it along with rom

Then select gapps.. This are the google apps you tube playstore ect..

Install then rebokt to syatem..

You arw done.. If you want to adjust some setting in kernel flash kernel the same way as rom amd gapps and it will take you thru some setting flash then you are done.. Kernel irs not nesesary as the rom has the same kernel..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ilLuminatriXkill:
Well I face the same problem that some people encounter I can't hear in some calls and reboot is the only solution..and I'm having yet another bug I don't have a lock screen its set to pin but whan I unlock the screen I see my home screen is anyone else is having this issue?

I'm on the Feb 12 build

I'm not home right now so I can't send in a catlog log but I will do it as soon as I get home
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zqthomas:
I read some posts about users can't hear anything when making phone calls. Suddenly I realized that I had this problems as well, even though I am using kitkat.

This happens to the stock phone app after I made phone calls (to/from) using hangouts (google voice internet calling), or if I set up internet calling settings in the stock phone app.

So I disable this internet calling altogether in order to keep my phone working without a soft reboot.

Hope this helps.

What about the people who don't have a computer and don't want to repartition? Will we be getting an original update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 16BitRun:
Do you have an micro SD card on your phone big enough to transfer any files you want save from you internal storage and to hold a TWRP backup of your data? I didn't use a computer to accomplish this since I used my micro SD card for all the backup necessary. Worked flawlessly.

EDIT: Also, there is so many advantages on getting this partition done. I was able to flash the whole stock 400MB+ Stock GAPPs when before we couldn't due to space restrictions. Also, I have over 100 apps install without the need to transfer my apps to SD because everything fits perfectly with even more space in internal storage. So much freedom. Good job [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION]! https://www.dropbox.com/s/r8p9le4vu8964w4/Screenshot_2015-02-24-14-35-36.png?dl=0

New kernel tree

Hi sultan, i saw you forked a new kernel tree named celox. Is the new common tree of celox replace android_device_samsung_msm8660-common and android_device_samsung_qcom-common as the celox kernel tree replace the old one ? I am trying to build dirty unicorn for the skyrocket and/or pac rom with your tree. It just seem i am using too much tree who does the same thing. Thank for your answer.

PS : Does it bother you if i use and fork your great work on the kernel and device tree ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cylverbak:
A couple of questions regarding this new partitioning format if I may . . .

Re-read the update instructions and answered my own questions.

1. I do not install GAPPS. Is there still an advantage to re-partitioning?

2. Will future Sultanxda-ROM updates install properly if I do not re-partition?

3. Will future kernel updates work properly if I do not re-partition?

I've finally managed to get cm12 set up the way I want and am loving it. What sounds like a major change is just a bit scary at this point ! :)

Edit:

1. If I don't re-partition I can't continue updating this ROM.

2. Future updates will not work if the sdcard isn't partitioned.

3. What's the point if nothing else will go on. :)

Ok, I'm taking the plunge . . .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WARRENFRALEIGH:
I would love to upgrade to the latest build, and repartiion, but I am concerned that the phone audio problem that I am having will continue.

Has any work been done to solve this problem?

I have reverted back to dirty unicorn 4.4.4 until this is solved.

Also once repartitioned, is there any reason why restoring a previous backup wouldn't work without reverting the partition back to the original.

Last question, I have been using Philz recovery to install the ROM's. If I switch to TWRP, will I be able to restore backups from CWM using the TWRP recovery?

Thanks

I have one question.. By doing this virtuall partition.. Can we still use link2sd??

Since ill b borrowing a computer.. Is not nessesary anymore to use and set up sd card for link 2sd
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tsew2674:
I had the audio issue on the initial install but disabled "OK Google" and rebooted and haven't had the issue since.

I think you would just have to flash back to the original, "normal" recovery before restoring a backup. Plus I don't think cwm backups will restore from twrp. You would need to back up your internal sdcard to a pc or external sdcard prior to changing recoveries though. Obviously, I'm no authority on this but that's how I understand it at least.

There's really no need for link2sd with this, you'll have all the room you'll ever need for apps built in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Which app did you used to transfer data to sd card. I have use some and some dont finish transfet or transferes files are corrupted??

Or does anyone knows i good file transfer??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoXion1:
What are you wanting to back up?

-If just apps and app data, plus media files:

*App + data backup - Titanium Backup (if you've never used it before it does take some getting used to, but imo it's the best at what it does)

*Specific files & media etc. - ES File Explorer (I use this to copy entire folders with misc files to my 60gb external sd. It's the manual way to backup specific files and folders)

-If you want to backup your entire internal sd card:

*Nandroid Manager - make a nandroid backup (you can also do the exact same thing with your recovery ex TWRP) which will save everything that's on your internal sd all in one go. It's main feature is it will allow you to restore specific apps, app data, etc. as well which is really handy. I think restoring apps and data is free but to restore other things like mms, pics, sms, etc u have to get Pro version.

Hope this helps! [emoji4]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
Transfers files.. Es file i had issues...

Basically titanium back ups and pics..

Is the cm file manager ok.??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
Not all of those trees do the same thing; they each do something different (and it is annoying how the CM maintainers separated everything into 4 separate trees). My Lollipop device trees are not publicly available, only the kernel source is. Kernel source is covered under GPL, so you don't need to ask people for permission to use their kernel source code. Just give appropriate credit in the thread (cite the person or entity whose kernel source you use).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] meno123:
I just decided to upgrade from 4.1.2 tonight and I can't seem to get this rom to boot (i727R if it really makes any difference).

Steps I followed:

- Installed TWRP 2.8.5.0

- Made a backup

- Changed the file system to EXT4

- Flashed the partition package

- Flashed the ROM

- Flashed GApps

- Reboot

I've tried various combinations of wiping and installing and nothing seems to be able to get into the OS. Any help would be appreciated.

edit: Turns out the radio didn't download properly and was the source of the problem. Excellent rom so far; I'm glad I upgraded.

Unfortunately the repartitioning doesn't seem to work. I've tried 5 times. Followed directions 100%. The device never boots back to recovery. Never. Just sits and flashes the Samsung logo every 5 seconds infinitely. The only way to get back to recovery is to Odin to it. I've tried this from the latest nightly before this repartitioning deal and from CM11 and from Stock JB. It just doesn't work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sultanxda:
I'm more confused than you are right now... Something might be going wrong in the kernel for the recovery (it's exactly the same as my regular kernel). The "repartitioning" package does 3 things:

Installs the custom TWRP recovery

Copies everything from /data to /sdcard

Wipes /system (I changed /system to the /cache partition so /cache becomes 600MB in size; did it in case /cache becomes useful later on)

And that's all. There's no actual repartitioning taking place, so I don't know understand how this could be going so disastrously for some people. For the future, I'll revise it so that it doesn't wipe /system (so you can simply keep rebooting back into CM12 until you flash the new ROM).

Other than that, I am confused as hell right now... Need to think about some things. For now just flash a different recovery through Odin and install some ROM so you can use your phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WARRENFRALEIGH:
This may be a dumb question, but after installing the new rom, the instructions say to connect to the computer and restore the data to the internal drive. Does this mean to transfer everything that we backed up from the internal drive to the computer initially, or is it the backup of the /data we made using the TWRP recovery.

No sense in posting logs, as I won't be working on AOSP Lollipop. Fixing everything on AOSP Lollipop by myself for such an old device is very very very difficult and time consuming, so I will work on CM12 instead (once CM12 gets rolling).

This AOSP build was only meant to give you a small lick of the lollipop.

I saw on a news on the front page of XDA than the first Custom Roms (not a direct AOSP build) was Omniroms, any plan to port and build it for skyrocket while we wait for CM12 ? Guest CM want it to be at less a complet feature build, we might wait a long time. Guessing it might take some day to next january before we could get a CM12. Seem it was more difficult to build than CM11. :( Last year they took 3 day to port it.
