FROYO BETA 1 MANUAL INSTALLATION (UBUNTU REQUIRED) By l3ong91
1. Clean all the partition on My Storage, left only with one PRIMARY, FAT 32 partition using Mini Tool Partition Wizard.
2. Format Storage Card using SD Formatter.
3. Copy the beta files and o2b3update.tar.gz(official) to My Storage.
3. Bootup Ubuntu, and copy o2b3update.tar.gz and ext4.tar.gz to desktop.
4. Download gParted and run it, go to Places -> unmount My Storage.
5. Start gParted, top right corner switch to My Storage (May have different label).
6. Create a new EXT 4 Partition, label as 'android', set as Primary Partition. (around 1 - 2GB will be good)
7. Then you will see 2 external drive on Ubuntu desktop.
8. Go to Places -> Mount both of them.
9. Then start Terminal from Applications and do all the commands below step by step.
Type in cd/ Desktop
Insert your password, then click Enter.
It will appears as (username) - desktop: ~/Desktop
Then, type in ''sudo tar zxvf ext4.tar.gz -C /media/android''
A list of files will be shown and copy over to the android partition.
Wait for the process to complete and type in below after return to ''(username) - desktop: ~/Desktop
''sudo tar zxvf o2b3update.tar.gz -C /media/android"
Last step, change the startup.txt found on another My Storage partition, rename the following line:
" Set CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root= /dev/mmcblk0p6 init=/init" to the partition number that you created, eg. mmcblk0p2.*
You should be able to bootup Android after that.
*Some device may get different number, you can look for the Android partition number through booting up the device without changing anything in startup.txt, then at this screen, check the one which has the actual partition from what you created, below is an example from jerrytech2468.blogspot.com:

LATEST NEWS & UPDATES
2011-04-18
Froyo beta1. It's SD card installer (1024mb only). It includes latest kernel, modules, default filesystem is ext4, new keymapping. Download it here (it will wipe Your current installation and/or whole SD card content). As always it doesn't contain 2D/3D libraries from Samsung (You have to find them and put it before first boot to My Storage as o2b3update.tar.gz).
Froyo beta1 working things are:
Phone
WiFi
GPS
Data connections (GPRS)
Sensors (not everything is working: accelerometer can work, but compass not)
2D/3D (Samsung not allowed to us to distribute the 2D/3D library binaries, so they are not included in the image).
MP4/3GP movie play (camera hardware button doesn't work yet)
Camera in photo (up to 5MP) and movie recording mode (it's still not 480p, but works)
Note: There is still error, when within telephone conversation in approx.30 seconds the LCD blanks but also the sound muted - UNTIL NOT SOLVE, please use the Call Light or KeepScreen application from Market!!!
Note2: If You have problems with registering via Google use following workaround: open Youtube app and login there with google account.
Note3: Changed button mapping: Cube -> Menu, Lock -> Back, Back key -> Home, Hang-up -> Sleep/Hang-up/Wake, Camera -> not used.
Note4: Updates have now prefix o2b3update.{tar.gz|sh}.
Thanks, I will test today

The Froyo is awesome and I think the battery consumption has reduced and better now.
Is adobe flash works?
Any screenshot guys?
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
Works like a charm.
Just re-partitioning of my SD-Card was a bit tricky: The old Eclair-Beta-Partition was slightly smaller than the new one for Froyo. So the installation (haret within the o2beta-directory) always claimed that the SD-Card is too small (in fact mine is 2 GB). So I had to delete the old partitions and re-format it within the configuration-menu of WinMo.
If s.o. does not have a card-reader/adaptor for the microSD - just use this software linked in this post.
hey can someone upload the 3D drivers to mediafire. im having problem download it from filesonic
Looking forward to testing out FROYO. Taking a while to download as I guess a lot of people have been eagerley awaiting it!
Could someone please upload a screen shot?

Instead of asking ppl to post the screenshot, why not you just try it out on your phone?
I want to but I can't download. Download link not responding.
Thanks a lot l3ong91 for your efforts, Any other hints to run android smoother and better would be appreciated. I'm completely newbie about running android in the best way to have the best results.

If you want to try out stable Android that can be used on daily basis, for
**Android Eclair (2.1) on Omnia 2, see my previous thread, follow and download the links under UNOFFICIAL RELEASE.
**Android Froyo (2.2) on Omnia 2, follow my guides on this thread, the overall impression is smoother and better than the previous release.
If you follow every step by step, you should be able to run Android on your Omnia 2.
Thank you!
Followed your instructions and..... Froyo lives!
Be sure to stress enough that new 2D/3D drivers are needed in order for Froyo to work properly. Only thing, Froyo keep saying that the SD card is damaged, when, of course, is working properly. Someone else with the same issue?

I don't have SD damaged problem, I can access SD card in Android, but when switch back to Win Mo, the SD card directory was missing.
Guys, please try to check if you guys have this problem with the Froyo beta.

For those who have problems with FileSonic, this is the 2D/3D files which i upload personally in .7z format.
You'll have to extract it out from .7z format first before you put into My Storage.
I've done what you said step by step but when android booted completely, in the welcome screen every time i clicked on android there is no response and suddenly the screen went black, I've tried to turn it on with keys but no response. What Should I DO?
Thanks
It works! Great work!
i have same problem as tiberiusmusicus. SD card is 'damaged'. however i can access it in winmo. it might be because the directory for the sd card is /mnt/sdcard and not /sdcard. im not sure....any solution? cant take photos because camera is not reading sdcard.
thank you so much to dev and TS for this froyo. i want to post ss on benchmark but cannot bcause still new in this forum and dont have enough post

thanks to all the above the dream of runing android on i8000 came true. and because of their job we were expecting faster and faster, more and more efficient and smooth versions.
i followed their path. got a version, modified it, combined the best parts of each ROM and i am offering a new ROM much closer to be complete and less beta.
DETAILS ABOUT THE ROM
It is not based on frenkiedroid as far as i know but followed other path onto chinese ROMS. I think it is faster than any other ROM (tell me if not). It has achived score 1035 on antutu on my class 10 sd card (this is almost the speed of a native android phone using cm6 and this fast hardware)
According to measuments made using Benchmark & Tuning it is up to 56% faster compared to the already fast frenkiedroid
Tested
bluetooth
wi-fi
3g
calling
sms
radio
gps
usb connection
battery lasts up to 2 days

Hi guys, any reports on testing this ROM?
I want to set up my old Omnia 2 with Android for my gf, so I'm looking for a stable and simple ROM for her.
Thanx.

You can try either my ROM or twister2 ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342764
they are both the same level
the fastest is mine
faster GPS in on mine (ms-based preconfigured)
wi-fi i think works a little better on twister
twister has preloaded facebook etc, while mine has only stock apps
mine has business (single) coloured menus while twister has fancy (multi) coloured menus
if you want to install optional apps that have ads and you are not expert on android then install twister
if you want to install apps that do not have ads (or have ads and you are android expert) you can choose mine
please not that some people mentioned that with my ROM their SIM card was not recognized. i am not sure if the same for your SIM, your country.
Only two ROMS to choose. so you need only a few hours to try them both and make your decision. the choise is yours
Samsung i8000 (omnia2) android cm6new rom v4
as I promised long ago to publish
SAMSUNG I8000 (OMNIA2) ANDROID CM6NEW ROM Version 4
- Support even more SIM
- Speed improvement - response
- Corrected some errors
- Upgrading of most programs
- Show ics (ice cream sandwich - android 4.0.X)
- Arrangements for energy savings
The new enhancements took me some time and study. I8000 reaches its limits due to its old drivers that are already written for mobile identical hardware with it.
Hope you like it and I expect opinions and suggestions to version 5 if there will be any further developments. Otherwise I will try to assist in the plan for android 2.3 on our mobile.
Explanation photo below
1 = home screen (the background is black on purpose because the amoled screen thus consumes less energy. If you want to change select another background with as many black dots. Black and not just dark color.)
2 = dialer with ics theme, search function names and support many languagesk. Make it default dialer if you like it
3 = new android ics Task Manager (task manager). Appear with long press of home button. If you do not like replace it with the Advanced Task Manager or ICS Task Manager / Switcher. To open them again by long pressing the central button select Settings / Cyanogenmod Settings / Input / Long-press home settings / select custom application
4 = ics camera
5 = menu ics (holo launcher)
6 = ics settings
For those who want even more contemporary look can choose Active lockscreen or Holo Locker
I tried installing this on my Omnia II.
I successfully create the partitions on my SD card, but when I go to starting the process with the ROM file, it comes back with the error message:
"The image file requires an updated version of this program."
I grabbed the latest version just to try it, and I need to purchase a key to make it work.
Yes, I reset my computer clock to September 1st, 2011. Do i need to reboot the machine after the clock reset?
Everything else so far seems to work fine, and if this works even half as good as I think it will, props to you for getting this done. I hate hate HATE winblows 6.5 on my Omnia II, and always wanted android. I tried a few of the older attempts years ago, but nothing was every stable enough to keep it.
Thanks again for any help.

I tried this program, and again, comes up with the same error message.
I'm getting to the point where I have to change the date, then run image for windows, but it just keeps giving me that error.
I'm running windows Vista, could that be causing the issue? is there any other information I need to change or pay attention too?
I'm literally doing everything step by step, and yet its not working for me.

it's only 542.27 KB. how long time can get to download ?
even if you have dial up or the server is full you need seconds to download it
just make sure the time change is ok and better cut all internet connections before execute the program

I've just tested it, the same problem I had as others already mentioned. I went back to the version 3, success! So I think the version 4 image is damaged or not correctly made. By the way, the version 3 that did work for me has no microsd card support. You should modify by yourself the startup.txt file to enable the sd card support.
Hope my words can be helpful to others.

i made my ROM to be installed on sdcard with sdcard support. Hundreds of users already installed it and no problems at all. i installed V4 again last night and no problem at all. my phone is i8000 8gb version if you install on storage card YES you should edit startup.txt and also edit vold.fstab and fstab files.
if find some free time from android 2.3 development project testings i will make a Version 5 and on this version i hope minor problems to be solved.
I downloaded the newest version of Image for Windows, which is v2.83 (the one in the package is v2.61), the tool to write the image into the partition ext4, and this time, everything went just like a charm.
I have to admit that the V4 image is a very good one. It's really fast and clean. I think the problem that we had before is caused by the lower version of Image for Windows. V2.61 can't load correctly the V4 image file, which I think is made by a higher version of Image for Windows. With the new version of Image for Windows, it's even not necessary to change the date.
The Chiese ringtones in this ROM are hilarious. I'm a Chinese, they are OK with me. But I think original ringtones would be better for common users, hehehe.
great work , will it work on omnia b7610 too !!

technically yes it can run. but i do not own one to test it myself. you can try yourself and tell us your experiences. test on sd card installation first. it it pretty smooth and fast. you will be amazed. in case it will not work you can always check TwisterV2 ROM also very fast and smooth
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342764
alternatively in case you meet some driver conflicts you can always use ubuntu and other ROM's drivers to edit this ROM and make it work for you.

Hundreds of users already installed it and no problems at all. i installed V4 again last night and no problem at all. my phone is i8000 8gb version if you install on storage card YES you should edit startup.txt and also edit vold.fstab and fstab files.
if find some free time from testings i will make a Version 5 and on this version i hope minor problems to be solved.

I am facing the same issue, I cannot load my Storage Card.
1. I am confuse with term SD Card here. Is it refer to Storage Card or My Storage? Storage Card means external micro sd card, isn't?
2. I followed the instruction and put the Image to Storage Card. How can I activate the Storage Card Support by editting fstab files? Where can I find these files?
3. I had format Partition 1333Mb to ext4 File System, but I wonder why it always turn to ext3 after I restore TBI file(after ImageRecover step). Is it okay?
Thanks.
I'm using [rom][unofficial][4.2.2][cm10.1][02-12-13] by Kevinjoa since one week.
Thank You for your work, I appreciate your work very much. :good:
The ROM is very stable and battery life is rather good - at least 48 hours. Little use of wifi, some calls and messages. Use calender app (aCalender) very much.
Camera is working fine. It's a pity that the camcorder is not working, but that is in most custom ROMs - I should imagine that HTC would help CM-team for example with this, I think it's in their benefit.
I don't use BT. Every time I boot, I get the message: 'Google search stopped' (!?)
It's a long time ago I use an odexed ROM - (that was WildChild v2) but the ROM worked fine.
With ROM Toolbox I converted some apps into users apps: Files, Trebuchet (I prefere Holo Launcher and ES File Manager).
When I converted these apps they appeared to be gone - deleted.
This is how I Installed the ROM:
Boot in Recovery (CWM) --> wipe data factory reset (twice) --> wipe cache (twice) --> wipe dalvik cache (twice) --> flashed ROM --> boot --. only activate wifi --> boot in Recovery --> flashed int2ext+ (int2extV+ didn't work - it never worked on my phone ???) --> Mount and Storage --> format /sd-ext --> reboot --> reboot in Recovery and flashed Gapps --> reboot and set up my google account and enjoying.
Now I'm gone try [rom][unofficial][4.2.2][cm10.1][06-12-13] by Kevinjoa.
I'll report my experience within some days.
The version of 6th december is wonderful. Very stable. Battery after 2 days: 40% left.
The ROM is very smooth - maybe because of odexed version ? Again installed int2ext+
I like this ROM very much and am going to use it as my daily ROM.
I don't have much demands for my daily ROM: 1. stable 2. reasonable battery life 3. stable use of camera and gallery 4. I must be able of removing pre-installed apps 5. possibility of using int2ext+ 6. smooth
So goodby for now to my daily ROM: 'Jelly Style CM7' by Thehacka1 :good: - which I used for some months and which is till now by far the most stable ROM I've used.
I didn't notice much improvement with GPS, maybe a bit ?
No FC's till now. Still very stable, smooth and fast. :good:
BT I don't use.
My settings:
SmartassV2, minimum 200 MHz and max. 600. use only 2G-network, WiFi is most of the times off - I only turn it on when I need it.
I read you are taking a rest for now (or for ever) with your work on WFS ??? This I can imagine, you having another phone.
You are one of the last great devs from WFS.
Thanks very much for your beautiful ROM and effort.
I hope a lot of guys read this and gone use your ROM. :good:
camcorder FC and GPS-patch
I had to install this ROM again, alas
Camcorder gives FC.
I installed A-GPS patch from crypted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447593
Installing I used method 2:
1. Download the patch
2. Copy the two file(s)* into /etc/ of the system (not sd-card) using ES File Explorer, Root Explorer, or some other form. You must have SYSTEM set to Mounted and Root enabled. Check your explorer app's SETTINGS to do this.
3. Reboot the device
*Files are located in the /system/etc folder of the ZIP. Do not copy the other directories or folders.
*Files will be: gps.conf & SUPLROOTCERT.
I found the patch here:
derekgordon.com/gps-files/agps.patch.google.build.cwm.v3.1.zip
Now GPS works like a charm.

I've done the same but when I turn on GPS it quickly shows a location several kilometers away from my position and then it takes really long to find satellites. Ideas?

I had the same problem:
I installed the patch on my friends WFS. She uses a navigation program sometimes. (It takes a lot of the battery!)
When she opened the program, it showed a route that began at a place 100 km away !? But within a short time - a minute or two max - the program recalculated the route from the place where she was at that moment. Before she used the patch it took most of the time more then 5 minutes before the program 'knew' the place where she was at that moment.
And another thing. I sorted this out for her. When I was inside her room it happened every time: 1e: the navigation-program couldn't locate any GPS-satelites - one or two max, but when I went outside, the prog found within a minute enough satelites. 2e: the prog started every time at the same place 100 km away - even though she had never been there, but as I told just ago, within a short time the route was recalculated good.
So for her the patch is better then before she used it.
I hope this cleares out something.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Yes, that's my case too. It's better to have it, but even with the patch my WFS takes 15 minutes or so to lock position. Maybe further development can solve this issue, we'll have to wait!
the problem is the camera in 10.1

I was experiencing heating and battery issues on this device. I decided to root the device and added a few modifications that seem to have magically cured the problem. The phone now heats less than a samsung device. Seriously major difference.
The phone also got a whole lot faster and smoother.
1. Root Your Phone
This method is from the following link:
U can unroot easily and get OTA Updates and obtain warranty by following instructions in that link. Below is the procedure to root.
1. Download the file update.zip to your PC (because download via browser on phone often is not working properly)
2. Connect your Redmi 1S via USB
3. Copy the file update.zip to the folder 'Computer\HM 1S\Internal storage' (root of internal storage, meaning the top most folder)
4. Disconnect your Redmi 1S properly from USB (use 'Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media' from USB icon in Windows SysTray)
6. Boot into Mi-Recovery (for this launch the Updater app, press the menu/options button and from the menu choose 'Reboot to recovery mode')
7. In the Mi-recovery select and confirm 'English' (or Chinese if you are capable to understand)
8. Select and confirm 'Install update.zip to System', this will take one second
9. Select and confirm 'Reboot'
10. After reboot go to Security -> Permission and activate Root permission
11. Enjoy your rooted Redmi 1S
2. Uninstall unnecessary software
Taken from the following link:
List of apps that can be safely Freezed to free up the RAM
I use link2sd from play store to freeze apps. Just select an app and click on actions and select freeze option. you can also use app quarantine

3. Install Universal init.d app by Androguide.fr from Play store and enable init.d support in the app
4. Install Custom CWM Recovery
1. Download attached file "signed_cwm_update redmi.zip"
2. rename it to update.zip and paste in root folder of internal storage.
3. Go to settings, then to about phone and click system update button
4. Press menu button adn press "reboot to recovery"
5. Select language English and then select flash update.zip option.
6. When done, turn phone off, press volume up+ power until you enter cwm recovery
5. Install the performance mod
1. Download pureperformance for CM from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360670
2. Put it in your external sd card's root folder.
3. Boot into cwm recovery, make a backup
4. Flash pureperformance mod and reboot
6. Change ram manager script(optional)
I just find this ram manager to be better
1. Download fly on mod from following link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226373
2. Extract the zip file, browse to etc/init.d folder in it and copy the ram manager file to root folder of sd card
3. Use root browser from palystore and copy this file from sd card nad paste it in etc/init.d folder of your phone(not the extracted folder of the zip file)
4. Delete ram_optimize script
I think we have to patch services.jar for ram maanger ot work but i am not sure. Will update with instructions if i do so.
Thats it. Just wait 15 minutes for system to settle down. Additionally you can go to developer otpions and put animation speeds back to normal and reboot one more time. I did this much and all my heating issues are gone! Absolutely no heating even while gaming!!! I didnt even underclock! Its like a magical fix guys!!! I was amazed. The performance has increased phenominally too. MIUI should hire jeeko or exit_only for working on their performance front. I think exit_only made the ever amazing crossbreedor script.
I am also getting great great battery life and speed. I am 100% happy with this phone now. I have noticed in this hsort time that battery charging time has drastically decreased too. Phone doesnt heat much during charging either. :laugh:
NOTE: If you are still unhappy with battery life or the slight heat, then install No frills CPU from play store and put min frequency to 300 and max frequency to either 1.4 or 1.19 and test. That reduces heating too. Also check apply on boot. Also go to security app in desktop and click on power(the one that has antivirus and cleaner in it) and select default and change cpu mode to power saving and then click ok. Now select apply for default setting. I didnt need this.

I have posted this guide on MIUI forums too.
Am not an expert, just put together things that I know. I never tried any other custom OS because I bought this phone with MIUI software features in mind.
I tried patching services.jar but it gave me erros such as all apps crashing if i wiped dalvik cache and newly installed apps seemed to not open. So it has been dropped
Nice

Installing CWM means loss of warranty right????? And also we cant unroot and get OTA updates????? Correct me if m wrong......... And what will happen if i skip CWM step???
great tips
Really the tips you had share with us is working fine.
Yes, the phone can be returned back to stock just by following unroot instructions.
I have updated original post with a better guide and more instructions :good:
I flashed the pure performance script following your instructions and also underclocked the
CPU which helped to reduce heating...but battery life remains as it was..I ran a benchmark after turning back the clock speed to maximum and cpu to high performance in the security app,I get scores lower than stock ROM..
Any thoughts??
And also can you provide a guide to turn back the phone to stock.

In my experience, underclocking doesnt seem to really get rid of heating. Am not sure but I get best experience at 1.6 Ghz itself.
The guide has been updated with a major improvement of ram management with the services.jar patched. Make sure you do that step too. :good:
For me, underclocking does reduce heating...
And about the battery status screenshot you have provided... I get such battery life only when I am sleeping. The battery drops like 1 percent/min with just whatsapp and data on
And I get 416 mb ram in stock ROM without modding..just that it get reduced to around 250mb when I am using my fone..
Your screenshot shows that screen uses less power than android system...in my experience, it is not possible unless you use the phone just for fone calls...as redmi has a 720 p display which definitely uses a lot of power
Can u give us some info about how you use your phone...
And y patch services.jar??

Possibly a stupid question, but in step 6, why do you recommend downloading PurePerformance for CM if we are running stock MIUI 41.1 Rom? Just want to be sure what I'm flashing.
Thanks a lot for the instructions. Few questions from my side if you can help that will be great.
Will I be able to update the phone when a new firmware is released?
What will happen with this workaround once you install an update, do you need to start again from start?
does anyone have patched service.jar and framework.jar for MIUI Global 4.1 ?
because i have dificulty tu run ultimatic jar patcher tool on my win 8 x64 environment
I successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy A320FL following more or less this guide (I know, it's a video and that's annoying, but it's also very clear. And there is a text version linked in description), with some modifications though.
I will write here what differs / is not specified in that guide.
I also attach all the files I used; they can also be found on the internet with some search.
Make sure to have installed on your PC Samsung USB driver for mobile phones, available on Samsung website.
I used different versions of the files needed (that guide is for Samsung 8). With the following files, everything worked well:
twrp-3.4.0-0-a3y17lte.img.tar
no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip
RMM_Bypass_v3_corsicanu.zip (learned this from another guide on this forum)
Magisk-v20.4.zip
Once TWRP is installed, the guide instructs you to install no-verity, then reboot to recovery and immediately after that reboot to system; only later, transfer and install magisk. THIS MESSED UP everything, in my case at least.
The solution was even faster: once TWRP is installed
plug USB and transfer all needed files (listed above) at once
install no-verity and reboot to recovery;
install RMM_bypass and reboot to recovery;
install magisk and reboot to recovery
reboot to system
Now you proceed following the rest of the guide.
After rooting, you may want to fix a few problems you may encounter: see next post.
HOW TO FIX FINGERPRINT AFTER ROOT
When your Galaxy A3 is rooted, unfortunately fingerprint will not work properly to log in on your apps (but it will work to unlock your phone). To fix this:
install from Google Play a file manager (like Solid Explorer)
in the left menu select ROOT folder, then rename
/system/priv-app/SamsungPass_1.3/SamsungPass_1.3.apk
to
/system/priv-app/SamsungPass_1.3/SamsungPass_1.3.apj
remove /data/app/com.samsung.android.samsungpass-1
reboot
This will remove SamsungPass. You will not be able to use SamsungPass anymore on your rooted phone, so forget the ability of saving passwords on websites and confirm them with fingerprint (you can still save passwords in browser or use google autofill; you just can't confirm them with fingerprint).
But, with the method above, at least you will be able to use fingerprint to log in those apps which natively support fingerprint login (like banking apps).
HOW TO MAKE BANKING APPS WORK ON A ROOTED PHONE
...Banking apps, though, tend to stop working when they detect a rooted phone. You can try to fix this using Magisk Hide feature.
Open Magisk and tap on the shield icon
Tap MagiskHide
Check your bank apps and any other app that want to prevent from detecting root. (According to the guides I read, hiding too many apps can be a problem: stick to what is really needed).
HOW TO MOVE WHATSAPP MEDIA FOLDER TO SD CARD
This was the main reason why I decided to root my phone: I was running out of storage. So I bought a high-quality and fast sd card (yes, it deserves your 20 €) and did the following:
Download "Apps2SD" (the original by Vicky Bonick; it's free) and follow instructions on how to create partitions.
You can create upto 3 partitions: 1st fat32/exfat/f2fs/ext4/ext3/ext2 (it's your SD card), 2nd ext2/ext3/ext4/f2fs (it is used to link the apps), 3rd swap partition (it's optional).
IMPORTANT: With Apps2SD you can LINK apps (they will end up in 2nd partition) or use FOLDER MOUNT (the chosen folder will end up in 1st partition, the one that looks like your normal SD card).
Please note that for Whatsapp media folder you will use FOLDER MOUNT method: so it will end up in the 1st partition. Create the 1st partition large enough for your whatsapp media.
Use "folder mount (app analyzer)" feature: it's like folder mount, but it's pre-set for some common apps, including Whatsapp. With this feature, you can successfully move Whatsapp media folder to SD, in one clic.
To understand what folder mount means: see FAQ.
In my case everything worked fine. When I reboot I have to re-mount folder, but it takes one second (just open Apps2SD, tap Folder Mount, slide "whatsapp other").
By the way, with App2SD you can do much more: you can move virtually any app to your SD card using the "Link apps to SD card" feature, as explained in Vicky's video.
...Hope this will save you some time!

Thank you! I successfully used your compilation for a T-Mobile branded unit, all works after some tinkering. I didn't have the fingerprint problem, possibly the Samsung security thing is not the same on the carrier-modified ROM.
I had problems first making root work because of the succession of operations - basically, everything needs to be formatted in TWRP so it can mount partitions. Once I boot up the ROM, TWRP won't mount anymore → every zip you want to install, you need to do in one go before you reboot to Android.
I tried to root mine, but it didn't show up in odin, it did show up in device manager but I can't do anything with it, no transfering files via usb, etc.
The drivers are installed, I reinstalled them a couple of times, tried a different USB port, etc...
No sucess so far, I hope someone here can help me
