Evening all. I’m new to this, so apologies for the rubbish questions. After much reading, I rooted / S-Off’ed, partitioned my SD card and flashed my phone successfully with RCMix S v1.7. Thank you very much to the developer, it is fantastic! I do have a few questions though:
Firstly A2SDGUI that is installed with this rom…. Although it says “Apps are on SD!” I’m sceptical. I have the low space warning showing on my status bar – and only 5mb of free space on internal memory. I’ve partitioned my 4gb sd card into 3 (fat32) and 1 gig (ext4) partitions, and only installed a few new apps.
Secondly, quite a few people have mentioned the “SMS fix” for the 1.7 version, so that I don’t have to upgrade to 1.7.2 to get the fix (100% cpu usage after a sent message) – yet I can’t find it anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance.

It's weird, no one has complained about this. Reboot your phone and if your problem persists try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13701592&postcount=3
Thanks for the prompt reply. There was actually 1 other member complaining of this:

"anyone make it work with data2sd, anyone please, i have tried many things, but cant make it work"
I'll try that link and get back to you.
Many thanks, that manual method appears to have worked!
Any idea where to get the SMS fix from?

I browsed the thread but I didn't see that fix. There is a mention of one fix for long messages (this one) but I would reflash if I were you. Try flashing by wiping only Dalvik and Cache.

As far as I know, no there is not. Download ROMs and follow instructions otherwise you will have some nasty surprises.
Hi everyone,
For Past week or so, I have been trying and trying and trying with varying degrees of success in my quest to get Android on my Wave. At the moment I am clueless about what I am doing wrong! I have followed the tutorial to the dot! except for the deletion of Wi-fi file. And I have faced all the issues mentioned in the TUT thread in different installs, now its just getting stuck at the language select menu! after choosing language, it freezes! So I want someone who has perfectly installed Android on Wave with applications and Wi-fi to tell me the small tit-bits and nuances, just the wisdom that you may have earned of...this procedure!
Here's my Specs:
Samsung Wave S8500 with XXJK1 firmware successfully flashed and tested with Android.
Sandick 16 GB SDHC Micro SD CARD
Tried 13 bada 2 android but not enough space errors
Tried 14 bada 1 android but random hangs, once boot fine. next time nothing!
Thanks!
It's a pre-alpha release. So you can't expect that it will run smoothly. So my advice wait for the first official release.

Maby is it your Micro Card. More people are complaining that it's not working. I've a scandisk 4GB card and it's working fine. Have you treid both tuts?
Thing is, I had got it working without a hitch with 2gb, but no apps would install and then today I try as most say that you shuold not go over 1 gb for EXT2 Parttion, I kept it one gb and now I am having these absolutely random hangs. what is the secon tutorial? I don't thinnk thats the issue. what size of partition are you using? And what tutorial did you follow..? Thanks.

My partition is 1943 Mb. But if android is running and the partition is smaller then 4gb i think it's go wrong by the chmod 0777 command.
And you can install apps? Also I do not understand what you mean my your second sentence?? you yourseld have a partition of 1933 mb right? and why does it go wrong with chmod?? thanks for replying.. I am trying once again...

The command CHMOD 0777 gives read/write/delete permissions on the folders and files. So when there goes something wrong with that command android can't write files on your sdcard.
Yes i can install apps and play games on android
So you don't use those commands (chmod) when you installed it? and how did you copy your files? thanks for the replies
EDIT: Woo hoo!! angry birds just worked! but I am getting ERROR when I try to enable Wi-fi! Do you know what this issue??

RE
Android not booting anymore on 4GB, it breaks the ext2 filesystem. Now giving up and living on Bada again
The perfect recipe is WAITING for the stable release. Oleg and company are working so hard in this port and its so unstable not and have some clues to be solved.
Please, if you don't know what are you really doing, stop trying Android unless it will be fully ported. Because nowadays it will be unstable and nothing we can do will solve it.
We just have to be pacient and give our support to developers, and let then do their job.
Android in our Waves is now a reality, don't disturb people who are working on it and let them porting it. Maybe it will be fully ported in a few months.
This release is only for testing purposes, not for playing Angry Birds and nothing else, and its pretty useless. So don't think you will get a full Android right now installing some patches and touching the configuration, because it is IMPOSSIBLE right now.
Threads with no sense like this one, made only by impatient people, should be closed.
Regards.
agree with the last post, I am also tempted to make the port but I badly need a working phone , so I guess will wait for the stable version when I see everyone is ok with theirs
unmount your device and use fcsk -y /dev/<your_device>. this should correct problems becoz most of the people has prob due to not properly created filesystem or sudden shutdown. this will also solve input output error on chmod
Thanks people! but I got it working to the fullest (atleast, upto what is possible atm)!!
I noticed that for some reason, there were some files missing in 'System/etc' folder.
namely, the Wifi folder. So I pasted it from my PC and chmoded it and sudo synced it. then repaired with Gparted. Now works perfect! XD
Hello Folks,
I have just moved from MW CM 5.0 to MW 4.3 (Oxygen) due to some call-delay issue of the first one.
MW 4.3 is quick and with no major bugs. the only bad surprise is the memory availability. Making a Titanium restore of all the previouse app+dada I crashed in the annoying "not enough memory" message.
I imagine that the fact that the M2SD is managed internally change the performance of it (true?). By the way I was playing with the different option trying to gain some space and I came across a new functionality (new for me) such as "bind /data/data to sd-ext/app-data" not really sure what it does but it increased my free internal memory from 12mb to 89mb. GREAT !! the only problem is that the overall speed of the system went drastically down. I guess it s normal as application will read their data from the SD instead of the quicker internal memory. Unfortunately with this option on the whole gsm was not usable anymore.
My question is: Is there any way to free more memory using this ROM? (with a decent GSM's response time)
Thanks for your help

Well... that's the only option available on that rom, is to enable and mount sdext, that way it will move apps to the sdcard. I don't think it moves dalvik. Either way, what's your sdcard and class? Usually moving only apps doesn't really slow nothing important unless it's a class 2 card or some card with slower speeds. Even moving dalvik the rom should stay fast IMO. There's a slowdown but not that much.

Jm,
I have a comment for you. First while I was looking for you post (could not find it though) I came across something that goes against your post, please read the following
<<
Do a clean installing!
Tips:
To enable Apps2Sdext and/or Data2SdExt visit Settings|Applications|Development.
To set the default installation partition go to Settings|Applications.
To move applications from sd-ext|sdcard|internal Settings|Applications|Manage Applications.
There is no Dalvik2SdExt because .dex will follow the location of the apk, so if you install an application on sd-ext the dex will be on sd-ext, the same applys for internal or sdcard.
Do not use A2sd scripts. >>
So where is the truth. Do I need this script or not. If you can explain me why could you also provide a link to this script?
Thanks in advance
Stefano

The part that confuse me is that "There is no Dalvik2SdExt because .dex will follow the location of the apk, so if you install an application on sd-ext the dex will be on sd-ext, the same applys for internal or sdcard."
I do not understand .. what he is saying, there is not dalvik2Sd and there is not need to have one (something like the A2SD) or there is not dalvik2sd so go ahead to install one.
if you know that the dalvik2sd script can free some space without side effects...pls post it
thanks

basically if u check the box to install apps in sd-ext, from "now" on apps will install on sd-ext, but there is aready dalvik cache on ur phone before u check the boxes and thats what the dalvik2sd.zip moves(i think). iv used the zip and has no effect on performance or anything, it just free's up a wee bit of space.
il post the zip in bout 2 hours coz im busy. if u look at the OxyZM thread, click the attachments, the file is there.

...hello jm just coming back to thank you for your support. Finally I have a stable situation. Nevertheless after installing the script you have uploaded nothing changed. I had to factory reset, reinstal CM 4.3, install your script and everthing went smooth. Now it s 2 weeking I am keeping installing new apps and my free memory stay basically stable uner 80mb free space.
I have just one curiosity..if I go to Settings--> storage I see SD-ext "unavailable". After all I do not care much but if it is unavailable...where my apps have been stored so far? ps I reserved 1Gb of SD-ext .
Cheers
ps I just installed another apps of 3mb...no changes in the free space, so cool I feel like "no-limits"

not sure if it's been mentioned, but you should also be on cm7r2 hboot to maximise space (need to be s-off).
then follow the instructions on the first page of the thread to enable sd-ext. this will move user apps + user app dalvik cache to sd-ext. in other words, most of the dalvik cache should already be on sd-ext.
the dalvik2sd script should only move system dalvik cache to sd-ext, which will save you a little space.
to check everything is working, use an app like 'diskusage' to browse your partitions.
All; not sure if this is the right place and I didn't see a similar thread on search.
I've swapped roms a few times on my GSM 16GB nexus; and after my latest (~month old AOKP nightly to recent CM10 nightly); my available internal storage appears to have shrunk; and I can't install apps.
Via 'Storage Settings'; I see 13.33GB Total space, but when it sohws individual usage; it shows ~3gb total between 'Apps, Media, Downloads, Available'; as in it's not seeing the other 10GB of space? In the graph at the top visualizing the space usage; it has a mysterious Grey color representing the missing 10GB of space.
Any ideas how to recover that space; and how I can avoid losing it in the future? (I don't mind losing data currently on phone; but ~3gb is not enough for daily use). I have the full version of Rom manager; I have yet to play with the Partition SD Card utility there (or a similar partition tools in app store..) as I wanted to find out what I had done wrong as I fix it.
Thanks,
Chris
Edit: I need to learn to read.
A screenshot would help, but if you're including Available in the 3GB then you probably have some CWM backups hiding somewhere. They eat space, but aren't picked up by Android when it calculates storage space.
In my experience the biggest culprit in "missing" space is nandroid backups.
:Edit: I need to learn to read too :cyclops: IOW I agree wif Cilraaz. :silly:
ty
Thanks for idea; and yea; including 'Free'; i have ~3gb of space.
I'd post a screenshot but I don't seem able to email them off the device currently... (It let me take them; but gmail's giving me a 'nospace' error); and you guys seem to understand what I meant.
I don't have a 'Nandroid' folder anywhere that I can find to delete/pair down backups; and I removed all my clockwork mod backups; and it didn't make a difference on device reboot...

Playing around in CWM Recovery; i attempted, 'Free unused backup memory"; and I jumped from ~1gb 'Available' to 3.42gb 'Available'. Crisis has been averted for now; but I'm still missing ~6gb... (No current CWM backups)
Mine also says 13.333 available...
EDIT: Nevermind, misunderstood you.

I ran into this problem. Perhaps this will help you.
Starting with 4.2, Google changed the way your sdcard is mounted. It used to be mounted at /data/media. Now its mounted at /data/media/0. They changed this because of the new Profiles. My problem was that I was using an older recovery. One that would save my nandroids at /data/media/TWRP. After updating it now uses /data/media/0/TWRP. So I would check the /data/media folder and see if there is any old backups there. You will have to use adb or something similar.
Maybe u should lock and then unlock the bootloader on your phone this helps solve most problems.u can then flash cm10 if that's what your using. And as said in an earlier post make sure you have the latest version of cwm recovery.
Please press the thanks button of this works.

So, you're suggesting the OP wipes their storage? Why would you suggest this without stating that: 1. data loss will happen and 2. you should backup your phone before doing this?
OP, runderekrun had a good suggestion. Check /data/meda for rogue CWM backups (and make sure you're up to the most current version) or multiple /0/0/0 folders (if you've flashed multiple 4.2+ ROMs).
I experienced this one already. That's when i flash a AOKP nightly 4.2.1 based. When i'm in 4.2 i can't see all the files from my 4.1.2 ROM. I switched back to 4.1.2 then copied all files from root folder to the 0 folder. Try to use Root explorer. It will show you emulated and legacy storage.
Hi
I'm not a total iGO noob and been using it for a few years on HTC HD2 but now have a really annoying problem.
Just got a HTC One M8 (European) and rooted immediately plus gave SD card write access.
First thing I did was install iGO the usual way and add all the content.
When I'm in default 3D mode, the screen starts 'blinking' after a while. The route and the roads start to disappear and the terrain starts taking over the screen, so that for example it will be all green, the same as the fields. The whole screen starts flashing. This is happening on default scheme/skin or any other HD compatible skin. Meanwhile, the voice and the directions are still all ok.
A couple of times I've got a error message saying "memory is low, use different route options", but that's only a couple of times. Remember, this is a phone with bags of memory and no other apps.
I have tried with the moveable thin apks that I can move to SD with all the content, and have tried every other version of iGO apk with all the iGO folders on the internal memory.
I believe the data.zip is I have is a 1920x1080 HD file and I have tried starting with and without Branding files.
I have tried lots of different sys.txt combinations.
Obviously I delete the Save folder every time.
Please, anyone...HELP!

The SD write problem is I think resolved for me by rooting and flashing a different kernel - I can't remember the thread I got this from, but will post when I find it.
So iGO works now, but the Lesscro Themechanger isn't working now!
The slow display I had came from a memory setting I changed in the sys.txt, thanks to another member.

Nope, afraid not. Even rooting and using SDFix won't work alone. I tried changing the permissions on the R/W SD data but keeps defaulting on reboot. Flashing a different kernel is the best way as far as I know.
It's the Google / KitKat policy that's messed things up!
To fix the sd card issue you have to root.There is no other alternative.Kitkat implemented this issue.To fix it you have to change permissions in es file explorer to rw for all.Or you can flash kernel which disables read/write protection.The best kernel is elementalx kernel.Go give it a try! :laugh:

Do you mean that iGO is running slowly or just not starting? Have you deleted the SAVE folder and tried. Is your iGO on the SD card or internal?

No, i'm talking about iGo is starting fine, but after a while screen starts blinking until it becomes black. Program is still running but screen is black.
I have eleted save folder, re-installed, tried all kinds of versions
iGo is on sd card, but i'm rooted and on a custom kernel with the sdcard read/write permission fixed.

No, i'm talking about iGo is starting fine, but after a while screen starts blinking until it becomes black. Program is still running but screen is black.
I have eleted save folder, re-installed, tried all kinds of versions
iGo is on sd card, but i'm rooted and on a custom kernel with the sdcard read/write permission fixed.

If you know of the best way to that I can share my iGO folder here, please let me know. It really should work well and I use it all day and every day. Let me know how to share please.

Thanks for the offer. I think i fixed it with a workaround.
I moved the iGO folder on internal memory but kept the "big" content folder on sdcard (which is what i needed anyway)
It seems to work fine now. I will test it again tomorrow when i will be driving and report back.
Any probs let me know. It runs sweet on the m8 mate

Well i think i might take you up on your offer. I can't get rid of the blinking problem.
I have tried everything. But i believe i have identified what creates the problem. If under iGO/content/map i have a lot of maps >3GB then i have the problem.
If i remove some maps then all is fine. It's definitely not my sdcard because i tried moving everything on internal memory and still get the same problem.
Any ideas that might help will be appreciated

It seems that although the above sys.txt file change made iGO run smooth as butter with just maps of one country, I added maps for all of Europe and it keeps freezing. Looks like I'll just have to add maps in whatever country I'm in!

You should patch first your M8 for 4.4.2 for R/W .
