I don't think the whole process has worked tbh as i just tried removing asphalt and i noticed internal storage went up, no matter i follow the instructions i get problems.

I have set the sd card up as follows in the link below I assume that's all correct.

http://img843.imageshack.us/f/78457721.jpg/

Last ditch attempt then i won't bother here is the steps i am following

SD card is setup up as in link above I will tell you as doing a new install of everything.

1 I would flash the firmware JG5 when booted up close down the phone.

2 Put Sim and sd card back in and boot up then shut the phone off

3 Install the superuser csc using odin as described, when phone booted up i get the required Superuser,

3 Install terminal off the market and put in this command

su

busybox --install -s /system/xbin then turn the phone off.

4 Do the same again go put phone in download mode, fire up odin and add the ext 4 file then plug the phone in, and start the progress flashes it in 5 seconds and the phone boots up.

5 follow the instructions posted on page one and put them in using terminal on the phone, i have tried doing just the first part and reboot in terminal then go in and put the market side in,

i have also tried doing them one after another then rebooting the phone with reboot command in terminal, but when sometimes when i boot back up i get the samsung boot up but the screen goes black at that point or other times it boots up but apps still go on internal storage and its laggy still.

can you make a video where you doing this step for step...pls
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] K3yMaster:
Used this fix, and although the phone seems faster, I'm still unable to get the blazing fast Quadrant scores that some of the others post.

I went from 824 to 956 using ext3, since I already formatted my SD this way..

Is it the ext4 that gives the extra boost?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jabbypants:
When i do this command in terminal busybox df -h i have similar to yours just my size different.

But when i run the command $ su -

# ls -l /system/

On yours you have this line mine has nothing like that

lrwsrwsrwt root root 2010-07-20 03:25 media -> /disk/media

When i do command ls -l /data i have the same thing as yours so it appears i am missing "lrwsrwsrwt root root 2010-07-20 03:25 media -> /disk/media"

so what have i done wrong for that to not have worked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ariozo:
After some reflashs i got my sgs working nice so far, JG5+SdFix and MinFree going in the back.

So hows everyone getting ringtones to work all mine are missing with this fix-its the only 1 problem i got
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lenrek:
The number of task concurrently running in your phone would affect the speed. This is what I notice, which is why I set the "Advance Task Killer" to "aggressive" mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] K3yMaster:
I have the same issue now. I just checked the links etc. and all seem fine. I can even access /disk/ through the adb shell, but still getting Force close like hell.

I hope someone can help.

Have you tried uninstall ADW and install again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aciduzzo:
ringtones

does everyone else lose their ringtones when doing this? is there a reason why ringtones would disappear...sth to do with mv /system/media perhaps?

is the only solution to reflash?

So is there a solution to the ringtone problem? Ive gone back to standard jg5 untill someone can tell me how reinstate them
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lenrek:
What about files in /disk/media? Have you check it? Maybe it has something to do with your /disk/data, somehow ADW cannot access this directory.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lenrek:
Ouch... I think, you had moved /system/media to a wrong place or had created wrong symbolic links in your /disk/media directory. By right, when you did a ls -l /disk/media, you should be seeing all the files you had moved from /system/media, but instead, it is link to itself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] halabibk:
Hi Can you explainme what you did, because I am use ext4 JG5 and all the step but only i get 825
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lenrek:
Try kill all background task and run the benchmark again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aciduzzo:
the only way i could fix this was to do an HR.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jabbypants:
You Sir are a legend that fixed the problem instantly my apps are now going on the card thank you this has drove me mad for best part of a day.

Another problem has cropped up though i can't use the fat32 part of the memory card, I formatted it and it was ok rebooted and it has gone now and is asking to be formatted again.

Every time i plug in the usb cable it asks to format this drive all the time driving me mad this phone now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bigup7:
ive just done the stall fix today to on my SGS and ive just noticed all my ringtones apart from one have all gone :(

any fix for this yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aciduzzo:
to all who have the missing ringtone problem. there is only one sure solution: reflash firmware and do everything again. i just did it and everything is now ok (i hope lol)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rkadve:
Missing Notifications

I did that, but no success.

Infact before redoing this fix after a fresh f/w, I copied media folder into my sdcard.

Now I have my missing ringtones, but they are added in my music player & when ever connected on usb, I again miss them. Message notification plays continously untill opened.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aciduzzo:
did u repartition SD card as well? that is did u do everything again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lenrek:
If you need to format, power off the phone, take the SD card out and use a card reader to format. Format the 1st partition only. Don't touch the 2nd partition.

Don't use the phone to format the card, it would wipe out the ext3/4 filesystem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AndyCr15:
I have a new MicroSD so I'm trying this again. After the first command 'busybox cp -rp /data/data /disk/' I get (after the long pause) this error -

cp: can't stat '/data/data/org.koxx.pure_calendar/databases/database.db-journal' : No such file or directory.

Anything to worry about?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sammy555:
so you didnt have to do anything different then? what firmware you use?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aciduzzo:
nope. just re-flashed jg5 (with 20100513 pit) and all three files, re-rooted, re-formatted and re-partitioned card, re-kerneled and re-applied SD fix. the only weird thing that happened whilst using ADB was that the phone started beeping. however it rebooted fine and i'm getting 1700 Quadrant now.

edit: oh yeah and i still got the read-only error, but busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /disk fixed that
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jabbypants:
I tried formatting it as normal but every time i plugged the usb back in it would say format sd card, so i formatted with the phone and its been fine since and my ext 4 partition is still there.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] joe611:
After I ran those commands I still don't see the links when I do ls -l /system/ and ls -l /data/, any other suggestions?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] soraxd:
ive been trying to get this to work for about 6 days now.. i believe im doing everything correctly, my partition is ext4 and its 912mb. i tried this earlier today, and it just killed my phone, had to install firmware and root again, however now im getting an error i wasnt getting before.. i think if i can get past this ill finally get it to work. im getting permissions denied, but i am rooted, my busybox is installed and in 'Done!' status with message 'you are rooted' so im definitely rooted, as reading back has suggest users getting this error might not be.

does anybody know what might be causing this, or what i can do? ive tried many different size partitions..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkstriker:
Execute:

busybox df -h

And post the output here (or check if /disk is mounted correctly yourself)

Sounds to me like it isn't.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] soraxd:
thanks alot for the reply, well heres my results

so is it mounted correctly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aciduzzo:
s, as u know, i'm no expert lol. but this looks right to me. hmmm...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] K3yMaster:
try using "su -" and not just "su" (without quotes ofcause)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] soraxd:
just tried it, same results =/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aciduzzo:
maybe try a 'manual' mount first: busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /disk

(that sorted my read-only permission issue)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] soraxd:
permission denied <are you root?>

well i am rooted, my busybox says i am, my root required apps work, i am rooted, but maybe something doesnt know i am?

Hey.

I've ran into bit of an issue with the Market (with the unsuccessful downloads).

At present I've done the following: Flash with JG5 > Apply Samset 1.2 > Apply ex4 kernal > Apply Samset 1.2c - Now none of my market downloads or updates are working at all.

Market Downloads/Updates were working fine before I applied 1.2c of Samset.

I've tried to re-create the link but this falls over and still doesn't work.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nl2006:
I did not see the 2nd ext3 partition after follow the procedures..anyone got the same problems?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lenrek:
I think the SD card is not properly formatted. Can you take out the card, connect to a card reader and format it again? By right, it should automatically mount it.

Don't use the phone to format the SD card, it would wipe out your SD card partition and create as single partition.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkstriker:
This is kind of obvious. Samset roots the device which means it come with a modified kernel. Seems to me that what is going wrong is that you ext3 partition doesn't get mounted anymore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] insty:
So should I look at re-applying the kernal over again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lenrek:
Yes, I think you should reapply the kernel again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] insty:
The same issue is still happening.

Have added a screenshot to display the errors that I am getting when I am trying to re-apply the kernal.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lenrek:
Oops... You should reapply the kernel, don't have to run the commands to recreate the /disk/data and /system/media steps.

All you have to do is, after reapply the kernel, check the filesystem structure to be correct. If not correct, then recreate the symbolic link to the SD card partition.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] insty:
Sorry, should of added that. I re-flashed the kernal in Odin then I performed the above commands.

Mind telling me just the commands I should be using to re-create the links?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bommel0815:
ln is the command that creates the link

ln -s produces a soft link (if you delete the link, the data it is pointing to won't be deleted)

ln -s X Y creates a link to X named Y

easy, ey? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] insty:
Yeah... but even after re-creating these links the market is still borked.

The only reason I was asking for the link commands was to see if the ones that I weren't already performing were wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bigup7:
thanks,

but instead of this i just installed Zedge from market and download new sms and ringtones, seems to be working ok

i get about 1097 on quadrant with ext3 which seems ok to me, stock was 834

hey guys i tried this on my captivate because it worked on a friend of mines. i flashed the kernel but it wouldnt boot up completely so i flashed the captivate kernel back. problem is, my laptop died in the middle of the process so now my phone is stuck on a screen that has an exclamation point between a computer and a phone:( it wont go back into download mode since it apparently still has the international galaxy s kernel(captivate does not have physical home key).

Hello guys, I would like someone to help me here.

I usually don't make mistakes in this kind of procedures and with my older phone (HTC Hero) I flashed and thinkered with the device several times per day.

After following every single step here, when I turn the phone on, every single apk forces closes, like it cannot find it. I cannot even have the launcher on. Nothing works. I keep clicking on FC screens over and over.. all the apks, one by one.

What did I do wrong and how can I check for it? I'm not a linux savvy but can run some commands. :(

Guys I cannot get paragon partition to partition my memory card (16gb)

it keeps saying:-

"A new partition cannot be created on this hard disk. Most probably, all primary slots are occupied and there is no extended partition" ..

Thing is there was only ever a Fat32 on there... I deleted that partition but still nothing... get same error... tried formatting it again and again in Fat32.. still makes no difference... I am running checkdisk on it at the moment.... gparted looks complicated for windows...

no data in \disk\data folder

Hi

i followed the instructions to the letter. I used a file manager (Astro) to check and i was able to see the \disk folder mounted and inside it a folder called "data", but its entirely empty

As per your instructions, we should see our programs database inside this folder

My phone is still slow.................

what am i doing wrong so that the database is not copied to the \disk folder ?

guys I have messed up my internal sd card...

i partitioned it with paragon partition manager and now it is corrupt and wont mount.. even after formatting it through the phone menu

also I have tried to flash a fresh rom through odin to get it to stock... it does this fine but when it reboots to complete installation I get a black screen and it wont boot...

in recovery it says E: failed to load media etc.

what do I do guys? thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sl8125:
this is a stupid question. how did you guys download the gparted? i tried but it will not download. i have a software to format / create partition but my program will not convert to ext4. any help will be appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] damianarnold:
gparted is available on most linux live CD/DVDs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sl8125:
So its not a windows app. Wonder that's why its not downloading. Anyways. I can work with ext 3.

However, I am lost in this procedure. Once you have opened odin, you add the tar file in pda section. Do you have to add the pit file available on the download site? Or Just the tar file only and hit start and wait to reboot.

Worked fine on my Vibrant with the ext4 kernel. Feels much snappier, and a nice Quadrant score of 1748.

Only problem is that now I have two back buttons and no home button and of course the volume buttons are switched, but a problem with the buttons isn't surprising since the international Galaxy S has a different button arrangement.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
You are using PPM v11 or v10? Try using v9, it should work. But please use a external card reader to format, and not in phone. Cos if you partition it in your phone, then when you unmount, you will get a damaged sd card message on your notification bar. But PPM v9 only allow you to format it to Ext3, and there is no Ext4.

Use Gparted like what most suggested. Burn the iso into a CD / Thumbdrive. Boot from CD / Thumbdrive and let Gparted takes you from there.

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] do0fusz:
allright,

After flashing the SGS with XJ5, and then the X3 partition on a brand new class4 8 gig, did the updated kernel true ODIN and i rebooted the phone.

Then using busybox, i did the coding for remapping/directing.

After reboot the phone can't start several processes.. (acore/gapps/calandar.. etc.)

what am i doing wrong ?

hey guys, big question.. besides high quadrant benchmarks, does this really do anything? pi benchmark doesnt get any better scroes, neocore doesnt change, as far as actual use, exploring picture gallery is generally slower, so is there really any improvements besides quadrant benchmark scores?

im not trying to be offensive, im honestly asking this question, so anyone?
