Hey guys i was thinking and thats not good,but anyway,i have this rom on my phone which is running JB,tweaked to the max,added a bunch of tweaks and themes to it,runs like butter and looks pretty,i also added a great mod that gives my OG internal 8GB instead of 1GB,anyway to the point,how many of you guys have Smelkus recovery and would flash a backup(nandroid) rom?
I have that recovery on my evo. But would that work on a different phone? But hell I will give it a shot.

I was told it would work as long as it was the same phone/recovery and have check MD5Sum unchecked in recovery.Ill upload it tonite and post it for you Evil,thanks for testing this for me.I'll need to figure out which folder holds my info that i stored on the nandroid,so i can delete it.Hell i guess i could delete my contacts and sign out of my gmail,then nandroid.Yea ill do that,ill link you sometime tomorrow Evil.
Re: Nandroid Rom
This works, I've restored my own nandroids across several shifts after having it replaced...heck, I've even seen people upload nandroids for debugging and the people who flash it have no issues at all

Yea i was talking to one of the devs from the Nexus forums and he was telling me that,also.I'm gonna upload it this morning and post it.
Edit:This will only be a test nandrom,im using mazdas AOKP rom as a base,which i added a few really effective JB tweaks and the reverse storage tweak and some themeing and added a few apps and other themes for CM10.I have this rom screaming,no lags,GPS works great,of course you know Mazda does great work anyway,so this rom already rocked before i touched it,(in the words of Mazda=Hahahahaha)
Uploading now.

I added some tweaks to the rom:
CrossBreeder:This is a new take at Android GUI lag reduction. It's lightweight and won't consume battery. Users have reported drastic improvements in usability and even benchmark scores. It can work on any Android device from Froyo to Gingerbread to Honeycomb to ICS and Jellybean. Modern OSs show lesser improvement but it's still quite noticeable.
This is a combination of 3 different methodologies to reduce Android lag due to low entropy.
1. Change wakeup threshold kernel parameters ala KAK.
2. Run an external entropy filler ala Seeder. The whole OS reads either /dev/random or /dev/urandom and both need entropy. However this mod uses a completely different, lightweight and efficient random number generator called Havege . This sharply reduces cpu consumption and corresponding battery life loss compared to Seeder. It also does a better job at keeping entropy levels high hence your device is more responsive. It doesn't run in a CPU intensive loop either.
3. Remove /dev/random as it's blocking. Link it to non-blocking /dev/urandom. Since /dev/random is blocking and designed to protect us from Quantum alien cryptographers with mathematical certainty and urandom is non blocking pseudo-random device that most apps and OSs are using anyway. Pre ICS devices have a lot to gain with this but ICS+ devices show visible gains too.

AD2SDX:This mod will move all Internal Memory (data) into sd-ext, "but not like data2ext", this mod will maintain the performance, because it still place dalvik-cache and system application data in Internal Memory.
•Move Mounting Internal Memory (/data) Into /sd-ext
•Mount SDCard-Ext (mmcblk0p2) partition into /data
•Create dalvik-cache directory in Internal Memory data (/sd-ext), and symlink it to mmcblk0p2 (/data)
•Create data directory in mmcblk0p2 (/data) And symlink it into Internal Memory data (/sd-ext)
•Create symlink of app, app-private, app_s and lib_s from mmcblk0p2 (/data) to Internal memory data (/sd-ext)
•Create symlink for all non-symllink of Internal Memory data (/sd-ext) into mmcblk0p2 (/data)
•Create data_s in Internal Memory data (/sd-ext)
•Move All mmcblk0p2(/data)/data/com.htc* and com.android* into Internal Memory data(/sd-ext)/data_s
•Create symlink all files/directory from Internal Memory data (/sd-ext)/data_s/* into mmcblk0p2(/data)/data/ So the System Application Data still read into Internal memory, but rest Application Data will read Into SDCard.

Hi all.
I am sharing a new git repository providing :
z4control : An Android application to control some system settings, most notably - implement a full/partial lagfix.
initramfs : A z4mod initramfs template for I9000 for kernel modders. You will notice it only contains a simple wrapper for init - all lagfix implementation is outside the kernel scope.
To use:
1. Either use a z4mod compiled kernel, or compile your own using the provided initramfs, or patch an existing kernel to use the z4mod initramfs using z4build.
2. Install the z4control apk and enjoy.
As always, everything is open-sourced and released under the GPLv2.
Some z4control screenshots:

You can convert them all.
I have used this app for some time now and its safe to use i think its even better then the z4mod app.
But think that's only /data has power backup. So you can loose data on the other if you are unlucky.
I don't know how.. I still have no error and a have done a couple of wired stuff.. Lol

Hello z4ziggy,
I've used Z4mod Lagfix on my I9000B whith JPA and i have a 3G problem. For me, this connection did'nt work after apllied the patch.
I did unlagfix, restore RFS and Kernel, but the problem remains.Finnaly, I had to reinstal my rom, with Rom Manager, and only then the connection works again.
My phone shows a great performance after this lagfix, but i would like to know if is there some change, in this new app, about my related issue?
And sorry man, but where's the apk to download?
Thankyou

Thanks for the info, and sorry about the inconvenience...
If i'm reading the log correctly, your /system partition was 100% full which prevented it from converting to ext2. Can you please confirm this by comparing the size of /sdcard/system.z4mod.tar and your /system partition?
the relevant lines from the log:
+ tar xf /sdcard/system.z4mod.tar -C /
tar: write error: No space left on device
If you will confirm my deduction, than I will try to add some check for future versions. Unfortunately, your only fix atm is complete reflash your rom. I am TERRIBLY sorry.
Hmm. Cant you do a function that check for this backup file and put that back?
Would be great if something goes wrong.
You could even use it for backup...

Don't worry for the inconvenience, I have lost only the score of Angry bird Season, I've a backup of the other app.
I had the JPB (froyo spanish rom) with z4root + z4mod that with it I changed my filesystem in ext2, and with your last app z4control I try to change the other partition in ext2 too.
The system.z4mod.tar size is of 282.890.752 bytes (269 MB).
I'm flashing my Sgs and now try again to convert my partition
Edit: Nothings don't work very well or I'm no good to use your app. I'm flash my SGS then put z4root 1.3.0 / reboot / z4mod 0.93 (patch the kernel, and flash the new kernel) / reboot / z4control and try to convert all to ext2 / reboot and nothing.

As I've said, apparently you don't have enough free space in /system which breaks your system once you try to convert it. either dont convert /system (after all, only /data radically speeds up your system...) free some stuff manually.
Can you please send me your /sdcard/z4mod.system.tar so I can take a look?
In my z4control app I don''t have the theme options as are shown in your screenshots.
imilka's Stock Froyo RAM RC3
based on AdamG's OpenDesire latest version
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Made this while experimenting with RAM... Found it quite good during 2 days testing
Quick notes:
1) System is fully loaded into RAM, you will need to modify CWR flash.cfg and reflash partitions (read below)
2) You can't modify system via Root explorer or etc.
Read below how it can be done.
3) Uhm... nothing more.
4)Replace stock launcher with other btw, it's laggy even with this configuration sometimes
(ADW EX - my choice)
Features
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
clean, stock, fast and stable (should be stable )
FM Radio
CM6
easy system modifying
~15seconds boot time
rooted
deodexed and zipaligned
free space after install - about 250M on EU device
No screenshots, sorry... haven't you seen stock froyo?
Installation
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1) Download latest CWR with system layout (any)
2) Modify flash.cfg like this:
Code:
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot ya|boot|ro 100M
system ya 15M
cache ya 10M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
3) Flash partitions (run DAF.exe)
4) Boot into recovery
5) Select Mounts and Storage > Mount USB Storage
DONT COPY ZIP USING MAGLDR, USE ONLY THIS WAY! (or cardreader)
6) Copy zip to SD card
7) Select Install zip from sdcard > Select zip from sdcard
8) Select uploaded zip, select yes, wait
9) Reboot, wait
Modifiying system files
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As I already said, it's not possible to modify system using Root Explorer, ADB or else.
So, to modify system:
1) Make .ramfs folder in root of your sd card
Download .ramfs folder if you can't create it
2) Now .ramfs acts like your /system, so create any files/folders you need to modify under .ramfs
Example: I need to modify framework-res.apk in /framework, here what I should do:
1) Copy .ramfs folder to sdcard root
2) Create framework folder in .ramfs
3) Copy framework-res.apk to framework folder
4) Reboot
Don't delete .ramfs after you made this!
If you delete this folder, system will be restored to default state. (your modified files will be replaced with default ones)

It's not really needed - you have 250+mb after install.
But I'll think about including simple a2sd script.
WOW this looks VERY promising!!!
Everything works till now, enough memory, no FC's, all my applications work, fast.
Don't know why not more people try this!
Now I'm gonna try to change some (system)settings (gpsconf, build.prop because font is too big, usb-tp-pc). And try some superuser things like fix_permissions.
Seems g-sensor callibration option is gone?
fix_permissions will have no effect after reboot
But you can do it to check root
How you gonna change system settings? (just to make sure you're doing it right )
Just went through ES File Explorer and yes you read that correct I have 23 "0" folders from flashing so many 4.2.2 AOSP ROMs lol. I literally went through and counted them.

I think if you merge the 26 0 folders with the first 0folder, it will leave you with only one, which is required with android 4.2.2

Ok, copy all important files from your internal to your external and then format your internal (in recovery)
Then boot back up and you should be good, the OS will repartition your internal to make the /0 folder if you dont have it (which you wont)

You don't need to flash a tw rom. Just flash the restore sd zip after you wipe and before you flash a new rom.

Backup all your media files to your external sd., format your internal storage so you're left with one "0" folder and then update your recovery. That's why it's creating numerous emulated folders of your internal memory.

He could, but only on another ROM (thats not 4.2+ based)
If he tries to do it now it wont take because the OS still sees one of the "/0/" folders as the internal storage

If he tries to do it now it wont take because the OS still sees one of the "/0/" folders as the internal storage

Several of these issues occurred on earlier recoveries, which is why I asked to check and update if needed. If it's do to the numerous 4.2 ROMs, one other possible solution would be to copy all important files from the last "0" folder and paste them in the root of the main "0" directory in /data/media/ and then removing all those extra "0" folders
seemed to solve the problem for me.

The /0 folder "issue" is because of 4.2+ roms. No doubt about that. As for the "emulated" folder, that I dont know.

Wait, what the heck... isn't the "0" folder ad "emulated" folder the same thing? AKA another nae for each other; that's what I thought lol.

Well sometimes yeah. But on the picture Aweshocked posted in his thread, his folder layout is like this:
/sdcard1
/sdcard0
emulated
And i believe that THAT "emulated" folder is because of something else. But yeah, in other cases where it doesnt get as detailed as this, the /0 folder is also referred to as the emulated folder lol
I made a whole guide just for this problem.

I figured flashing it would make more of the 16 GB available but it didnt. I wiped everything and all the bloatware is gone. Why does it still show less than 2 GB?

You need to be a lot more specific as to what you did, which rom are you using now
and which rom you used before you noticed this storage issue.

I was using the stock Rom and it said 1.2 gb free of internal storage, I flashed the cyanogenmod mod nightly and wiped everything and it still shows 1.17 gb free.
As you can see nothing is using the memory.
I'm confused as to whether the 9 gb of available memory is a permanent thing, I thought it was a thing from the stock Rom with the bloatware.
I deleted a clockwork mod folder and it cleared 7gb.
I'm not sure why it took up that much space. But I'm still wondering why it only gives 9gb and not 16 on cyanogenmod

I know exactly what took up all that space, it was your many backups of your rom which you made in Rom Manager or in
CWM recovery.

This is the same question I was asking... I don't think you can access the 9 gigs of space that Samsung uses. It seems like a separate partition unless I'm wrong.... And I hope I am.

Samsung's partition which is used for the rom is shared by the user memory.
You can access all of the phone including the rom partition once your phone is
rooted and you install a root capable file manager like root explorer.
There are many different ones at the play store to choose from.
But I think Root Explorer is by far the best and easiest to use.

Since you seem to know everything where does the other 7 gb go?

Haha what a wise @ss! People are chiming in trying to help you understand your phone's memory partition.
Someone already told you... your CWM back ups took up the space. The rest if for you to find out. If your device is rooted you can free up space.

Obviously you're the wise ass because you couldn't figure out that I've fixed that issue.
I'm wondering about the 7 gb that works make my phone the 16 GBP as advertised. Not what's in my picture in my previous post.
Thanks though.

CM10.x rom is a lot smaller than the stock rom. They are between 300MB to 400MB including GAPPS.
Stock roms are at least 1.6BGB and custom roms can range from 900MB to 1.2GB.
If you have root access which I don't know if you do, use a file manager like root explorer
and navigate to "/" which is the ROOT directory of the phone.
There you will see a 4-5 screenfulls of of folders and a lot of files in the / root directory
Most of those folders and files are various different parts of the rom on the root of the phone.
Some of the folders are simply shortcuts and virtual locations to the /sdcard and external sdcard.
To be able see all those protected root locations with the folders and files the phone must be rooted.

See the other thread you're already posting in about this. I've answered you there.
Edit: to further clarify, loading a different ROM doesn't change the partitions (unless noted). You'll still have the same partition size for apps on one ROM as you will another. Debloating won't shift the 'free' space from one partition to another.
First off the phone doesn't really have 16 GB storage, regardless of all the bloatware Samsung has, the phone has no more than 12 GB internal storage, and 2+ gigs is taken by the system partition. The only way to reclaim that would be if someone made a tool to re-partition the system size like they did for the HTC HD2 but I doubt it's going to be a easy task. So until then, even installing Cyanogenmod doesn't reclaim the space at all.
PRESENTING, C.R.E.E.D's Guide to Amarullz A2SDx
NOTE:
I spent hours updating my guides and I don't ask you to press that THANKS button, be kind enough not to copy my guides to other forums. I know some noobs want to make a name on other forum boards... but really, that isn't acceptable!

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any damage done to your phone.
REQUIREMENTS:
1.Amarullz A2SDx Script
2.Rooted Samsung Galaxy Young
3.ROM that supports A2SD
4.SD Card with 2 partitions(FAT/FAT32 | EXT2/EXT3/EXT4)
Tested On:
Custom ROMS:
•Evolution x4
•Evolution x3
With Hells Fusion #50 Though it should work on any custom kernel. fingers-crossed:
A2SDx Guide for Samsung Galaxy Young
WHAT IS IT??
This mod will move all Internal Memory (data) into sd-ext, "but not like data2ext", this mod will maintain the performance, because it still place dalvik-cache and system application data in Internal Memory.
HOW IT WORKS??
The script will do this in the first boot:
Move Mounting Internal Memory (/data) Into /sd-ext
Mount SDCard-Ext (mmcblk0p2) partition into /data
Create dalvik-cache directory in Internal Memory data (/sd-ext), and symlink it to mmcblk0p2 (/data)
Create data directory in mmcblk0p2 (/data) And symlink it into Internal Memory data (/sd-ext)
Create symlink of app, app-private, app_s and lib_s from mmcblk0p2 (/data) to Internal memory data (/sd-ext)
Create symlink for all non-symllink of Internal Memory data (/sd-ext) into mmcblk0p2 (/data)
After Initializing Setup (First Boot), reboot the system (Just reboot, don't go into recovery), the mod will automatically do this following:
Create data_s in Internal Memory data (/sd-ext)
Move All mmcblk0p2(/data)/data/com.htc* and com.android* into Internal Memory data(/sd-ext)/data_s
Create symlink all files/directory from Internal Memory data (/sd-ext)/data_s/* into mmcblk0p2(/data)/data/ So the System Application Data still read into Internal memory, but rest Application Data will read Into SDCard.

INITIAL SETUP
1. Download A2SDx from Amarullz's Thread
2. Root your phone (if not rooted)
Verify that you have Custom ROM/Kernel that supports A2SD
3. Partition your SD Card. (preferably via MiniTool Partition Wizard 7 or up)
for SD cards 2GB or Lower
Partition 1:
Label: Android-SD
File System: FAT
Partition Size(in MB): 1536 MB (1.5GB for 2GB SD Cards) or 836MB (for 1GB SD Cards)
Partition 2:
Label: Android-EXT(EXT Number): Ex. Android-EXT2/EXT3 or EXT4
File System: EXT3 (preferable file system)
NOTE:
•EXT2 is old, EXT4 is the fastest among 3 but not compatible in all ROMS and often requires kernel that supports EXT4, so go for EXT3, fast and mounts on most ROMS.
•For SD Cards 4GB and up, IT IS ADVISED TO SET EXT PARTITION SIZE MORE THAN 1GB for better use.

4. Extract the file from 40a2sdx.zip.
5. Open a root explorer and copy the file to /System/etc/init.d .
6. Set permissions to 777 ,i.e. , rwx-rwx-rwx.
7. Reboot your device. This is a slow reboot. Patience is virtue.
8. Reboot again.
9. Check your Internal Memory.
CAUTION: Phone boot time slows by a very little bit.

Before you install this script be sure you have no sd card speed fix in init.d folder, amarullz script has a build in speed fix.
And remove bacem tweak if you running on hells fusion kernel, it has a built in bacem tweak.
If you test it on another rom/kernel, please share it here.
