**********PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLING*********
Please use Cyanogen's recovery image!
Make sure you have a partitioned SD card with a FAT32 partition and a EXT3 partition. (EXT2 is supported also) If you do not this ROM will install but you will have little space left due to APPS2SD not running. I personally like the clean slate location for Hero and then i use the widgets i need if any.
When I install I check the ext filesystems first, if it tells you to go to console to manually check do it! After I've repaired the EXT partition or if it didn't need repair I will now wipe and then apply the update and reboot.
A walkthrough by forum member sxfx is posted one post below for install.
ALSO run as few widgets as possible folks!

Ok Guys.
I created this thread cause in the JACHero thread on at least every page everyone asks how to install it, what am I doing wrong, and why is it broken.
So let me give you step by steps of what exactly I have done for me and others to run Hero with out a problem. I will also create a thread with step by step on how to use Ubuntu Linux Live distro to partition your card.
Things you will need to make this work.
Your Brain
G1 Phone
SD Card reader
And the files I included in this thread.
My phone right now is running.
JACHero 2.3
NEW SPL
cyanogens recovery 1.2
8gb class 6sd with Swapper(Swap file on ext2 sd)
setCPU slightly overclock.
Results.
Ever since I did my new Buttons, and the SPL I included in this write up, I have not had one problem flashing any hero rom at all on my phone, nor did I ever have problem actually running hero roms.
So here goes.
First before you partition your card or do anything make sure your card is at least portioned to fat32, don't worry about any other partitions yet.
OK once you do that go ahead and take the radio zip file I am including in this thread and flash it on your phone.
But first make sure you don't already have new radio installed which is 2.22.19.26I THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. To check what radio you have, power off your phone, and power it on while holding the camera button.
If you do have new radio you can continue on to flashing the new SPL.
Flashing your SPL. (PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE NEW BUTTONS INSTALLED)
Ok this is where it might get a little tricky, and you might require a SD card reader I know I did and frankly I think this is the best way to do it and I recommend every time you do put a new update on your sd card to update your phone do it through a card reader.
Now after you flash your SPL you might or I should say more then likely will get stuck at the T-Mobile G1 screen, this also might happen after new radio flash in the previous step. If this is the case do not freak out it's normal and your phone is not bricked, but this is why having a sd card reader is important.
Ok so Here is what you do after you have flashed new Radio and SPL(Note:The steps on running Linux live distro and using it to partition your card is coming up). Boot up Live distro of Ubuntu, when its done booting, go ahead and go into the partitioning program while your sd card is hooked up in the computer.
Go ahead and set up two partitions at this time. One EXT3, and of course the other one Fat32. Your ext3 partition doesn't have to be all that big. I actually have mine set up to 512.
Once you are done creating partitions, go ahead and put the latest JACHero on the FAT32 portion and flash away (don't forget to rename to update.zip).
At this point if you follow all of these steps there is no way possible that your phone should not boot right into the system to run the initial setup.
These steps pretty much walk you through steps as if you were starting with a phone that has completly nothing on it.
Also the first boot up after flashing the new ROM, might take a few mins at the HTC screen.
Once your phone loads up and you go through the setup process go ahead and run swapper, it should be an APP that's already pre-installed.
Once you run swapper go into the setting and change the location of your swap file from /sdcard/swapfile.swp to /system/sd/swap.swp
Here is the reason why. The default location is your FAT32 partition. If you all of a sudden mount your phone to the computer with the swap file running on FAT32 you will corrupt your sd card, and then you will have to wipe and reinstall everything.
If you set the location of your swap file on /system/sd/ that's actually your ext2/3 partition and never gets mounted and you never have to turn swapper off.
Well I hope this helps some of you out. I will be writing the walk through on loading up live distro of Linux and partitioning your card sometime today.
I have used this method on a couple different phones and it has worked each time. Also I really recommend installing cyanogens recovery 1.2, as its an excellent way of making a back up of your phone and doing future flashing.
If there is anything anyone thinks that could be done better feel free to post in here.
Remember different people have different ways. I have posted this way cause it has worked for me on my phone and two other phones I setup, and each time there was no hicups.
FILES:
Radio 2_22_19_26I
NEW SPL
CM-Recovery-1.2
Ubuntu Linux Download
DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible for anything that you might have done to your phone by following these directions. Like I mentioned before so far every time I have used this method, I have had nothing but success.

Yeep I was running into the same problem. It wasn't working for me in upper case either. It started working once I did it as
su <enter>
chmod 777 /data/app <enter>
exit <enter>
exit <enter>
I think it should be noted on the first pase that chmod 777 should be in lowercase.

AppsToSd search that in the market(old version)
I didnt buy the new one, its in the new and improved apps to sd thread
Alright back on topic
Okay so 1.4 is out now. He says Apps2Sd is included. I've never used Apps2sd and really don't know how to. So do I have to do anything with the 1.4 build to move it onto my sd card or will it automatically do it for me?
Run the APPS2D app with your EXT2/FAT32 partitioned SD card in and reboot that is all.
To make sure it is mounted go to the Terminal and type df, you should see
system/sd with your partitions size attributes etc
EXT3 support is next on the list.

Perfect thanks! Is this the only difference in 1.4? So I have to create the partition myself first correct? I thought Apps2sd created the partition for me. Oh well let me go create the partitions lol.
PS: the CHMOD command doesnt seem to work in upper case. Lower case only.
So will this new Rom with the app2sd app move everything but leave rosie.apk & launcher on the phone memory? Or is there something else that needs to be done?

thanks a lot, you are doing it just right
question, if my apps are already in ext2 (system/sd/app) will it work? or they will now be located in : system/sd/app_s ?
thank you
Somebody respond with how much available space they have left after running the APPS2SD.apk
i've chmod 777'd the hell outta my system/app folder and I still can't download apps. I've run the command from terminal on phone from ADB Shell, from inside the folder, from the root, as root every possible way and I still can't download anything.
Would it make a difference if I had tried downloading from market before applying commands?
I did a lot of testing and left all the files needed to keep this ROM stable and FAST under /data/app_s
Somethings work better under the app_s directory un-linked.
Everything else is under /data/app like a normal ROM so normal APPS2SD methods work. Since Marcus already has the app up I just included it...its only 18kb anyways.
This isnt off topic but an inquery to the EXT3 comming soon
Here is a question. Everyone is head over heels about using ext3 which is understandable. But why when i create and use an ext3 partition, why does everything running from my sd slow down by far?
i have 2 partitions on my sd ones an ext2 ones ext3 if i switch my link to m ext partition everything is fine.. if i switch it to my ext3 it gets about .5x slower

If it means anything i tried to download an app then forgot about the commands, typed the commands and it worked.
I've posted this before, but got no response.
Is anyone else having trouble getting wifi turned on? I can actually use the Wifi tether app, but just trying to turn it on myself, it fails.
Thoughts?

Hello everyone,
I'm not "dev" trying to create a ROM for cookée EKEN M001, my experience in practice on G1 (Dream) is at its peak: cool: Here is my first EKEN Relax , it is a Donut 1.6 which has increased from 127MB 65Mo after I changed, it gains speed and fluidity from the system much lighter and a significant improvement of tactile.
Installation:
You did not need to be root to flash roms on your M001, always have the EKEN connected to power during flash.
1. Download new firmware
2. Unzip and place the script folder in the root of the SD card
3. Place SD card in M001 and boot up (making sure mains power is connected)
4. Let the M0001 go through its motions to upgrade the firmware which takes about 5 minutes
5. When done take out the SD card and reboot the M0001. You will get the launcher options screen where a default can be chosen or like me you can leave the default tick box unticked and try out all the different options for a few times till you find one that you prefer.
6. Delete the script folder on the SD card either on your laptop or using the file browser on the M0001.
(Thank to mhorst)

Not to seem stupid but you say overclocking via kernel is possible ??? How do I do that ?
Have you been successful at watching a video on your Eken ? Mine seems like it doesn't have enough processing power to do so.
I love your rom, its great, but I am having some crashing problems(Probably cause I overload the CPU).

Hello everyone!
Finally, I am satisfied with my chacha. I was constantly shifting between stock custom rom and cm roms. In stock rom everything works but automatic backlight settings are just terrible (especially dim threshold and keyboard light settings) and status bar is bigger than in cm roms (32px vs 25px). Cm roms have all of this but there are other things that still need improvement (front cam, some stability issues etc.). Therefore I decided to create my own mod of stock rom. It is based on Europe RUU 1.3.3 android 2.3.3. I couldn’t find anywhere 2.3.5 Europe rom but to be honest I don’t see any difference between the two. There are two versions:
1. Full sense rom: Link
What is different: rooted, added busybox, support init.d, dta2sd included (you need to partition your sd to ext2 or ext3 after installation and enter dta2sd commands from terminal emulator – google for the commands if you don’t know them), changed the ugly calculator app, added file explorer, added latest play store, Flash player 11 is working. I haven’t removed any apps because in this version I wanted to leave that to the user according to his/her own preferences. Status bar is smaller (more space on the screen) and I themed it a little, removed charging icon (I know that it is charging because phone’s led is orange ). Automatic brightness is tweaked (added lower brightness level, lowered the max brightness of the f button, and added one level for the keyboard lights (sometimes, in stock roms, I couldn’t see my keyboard clearly and the damn lights just wouldn’t turn on so I had to do this tweak as well). And rom is fully deodexed.
2. Stripped rom (no sense): Link
What is different: rooted, added busybox, support init.d, dta2sd included (you need to partition your sd to ext2 or ext3 after installation and enter dta2sd commands from terminal emulator – google for the commands if you don’t know them), changed the ugly calculator app, added file explorer, added latest play store, removed sense, added widget locker, holo launcher, removed a lot of bloatware (at least, bloatware for me), f button is not assigned (I’ll leave that to the user, I use it to turn my screen off but didn’t changed it to this since several people reported issues). Same automatic backlight and status bar tweaks like in the sense rom and it is also deodexed.
3. Stripped rom (odexed): Link
What is different: Same as in stripped rom with the exeption of these: odexed (now 120mb free out of the box), status bar icons have an ICS look and color (wifi, signal, data, bluetooth etc.), notification toggles app added (fully functional and works great, just in the settings set it as an on-going notification and as old in order to be always on top; it has many different icons and styles and colors are changable as well, really nice app), fb button is set to turn screen off, dta2sd not included, different backlight values.
Automatic backlight and status bar tweak for odexed version: Link
Automatic backlight and status bar tweak (sense and stripped deodexed): Link
Flash Player 11: Link
Instructions:
1. Reboot into recovery; wipe data/factory reset; mounts and storage/format system; install from sd card; choose and install your rom; reboot your phone; finish your first boot setup.
2. Reboot into recovery; install from sd card; choose and install backlight.zip; reboot your phone.
3. Install flash player apk; reboot phone.
That’s it. Hope that someone will like it.
Sorry for the poor screenshots.

P.S. I am not going to support these mods. Everyone is invited to use them and do with them whatever you want. So please don’t ask me does it support this, does it support that, can you do this, can you do that. For me, it is perfect and I don’t need to do or change anything. Everything is working for me. I just wanted to share it with you. I hope that you can understand this.
Edit: I used this guide (thanks kylon) to improve wifi signal range and it worked for me, so I am going to share these settings with you. Mke sure you do this with your WiFi off. Here is what you have to do:
1. Copy your calibration file (found in proc in the root of your phone) to the sd card (it is best to do all steps with root explorer) and download from the attachments framework.jar (here is a link for an odexed version - extract jar and odex files) and symlinkv2.zip.
2. Move the calibration file to system/etc and set permissions as they are set in the screenshot.
3. Reboot into recovery and install symlinkv2.zip.
4. Open calibration file in system/etc (again, best with root explorer) and change this line: rssi_offset=0 into this: rssi_offset=-30
Delete created bak file if you are using root explorer.
5. Copy downloaded framework.jar (I already modified it according to the offset - 30, and if you are using odexed version copy both jar and odex files) to system/framework and set permissions according to the screenshot. Reboot your phone.
6. Done.
This trick did wonders for me and my wifi, hope it will help you as well. If it doesn't, try different values both in calibration file and framework.jar according to the original thread.
Cheers.
Looks noice
Is it faster/smoother than the stock rom? I would go back to the stock rom if it wasn't so hard to configure and it wasn't so damn sluggish compared to CM7/CM9.

Every rom that I use is fast enough for me. Even the unmodified stock. I just wanted to get rid of some apps that are obsolete for me, and I needed to improve backlight settings because when it is night the original settings don't dim the lights enough which really hurts my eyes and I hate that because I have to manually dim. In this rom I don't have that issue. Lights dim automatically.
Although, I found out today that there is an issue with the dta2sd, or maybe the kernel itself. DTa2sd moves my apps and dalvik to sd-ext, clockworkmod creates a backup of sd-ext in a backup folder, and when I restore it my rom just will not mount my sd-ext on boot after that, thus I need to do a fresh install. I would appreciate if someone has an idea why this happened? It is not an issue for me, since I am going to use this rom for a while, but I would like to fix it for the others. When I don't use dta2sd there are no issues. I looked in init.rc in ramdisk, but couldn't find anything unusual. This happened to me with Void rom as well, so I really don't know where to start regarding this.
Regards
Edit: I have been using recovery for a different phone. I just realized this and now, with the proper recovery, everything is restoring fine.

I don't know about data2SD, but I use link2SD, and that works perfectly but with the stock rom, you have to format the sd-ext partition in ext2 rather than ext4, and you can't do it with clockworkmod either, cos it doesn't format it properly :/ you have to use a tool like gparted (if you're a linux user) or some windows/mac equivalent to format it properly
Wow that does look pretty nice.thanks man.

That is weird. I just tested it, and it worked for me. Maybe you zipped it with high compression or sth. Try with normal compression. If that doesn't work, I will upload zip for you later today. I use recovery 5.0.2.8, but I don't think that it matters.

Flash Player Stopping
Stripped down ROM is great - now have more room for downloading apps.
One problem I've come across on this ChaCha is that Flash Player stops working (returns to home screen) after around 2 seconds of playing anything.
Anyone else had a similar problem?

As you can see from the screenshot below I don't have that issue. Try different flash player for armv6 devices. There are few, just google it.
dta2sd
Little suggestion. If you are planning to use this rom for a longer time, after your setup, copy your data from your sd card to your computer, go into clockworkmod recovery, in advanced options partition your sd card (I set sd-ext to 256, don't need more) and reboot. After that download terminal emulator from play store. In terminal type this:
su (then press enter and allow superuser permissions)
a2sd reinstall (enter and wait for your phone to reboot. It will take some time)
After it is booted enter this:
su (enter)
a2sd cachesd (press enter and wait for your phone to reboot. It will take some time).
The end result you can see in the attached screenshot. After installing all my apps I still have over 120mb free.
Of course, after everything is done copy your data back to sd card.

Added wifi tweak to the first post. It works for me, hopefully it will work for you as well.

Could you please give me/share a detailed outline of how you were able to update your tablet please?
Dragon Touch
The Dragon Touch Tablet is a better looking momo9 clone. I have tested almost every firmware for momo9 and clones and they all work. You use a program called live suit to install the firmware. You can also install cm9 with the momo9 comp zip 1.2.0 by Christian Troy. Only problem is hardware keys are messed up.

Let me begin by stating I do NOT think it is worth it to flash different firmwares. The reason for this is that at this point in time there are no roms designed specifically for our device. As such any rom you flash will likely have bugs (see the above post; also I tried multiple times with multiple versions of Cyanbook, a CyanogenMod port for the Micromax Funbook, and each had the following problems: no autorotate, the internal sd (the 5.31 mb part) shows as damaged, the external sd is recognized as the internal sd, the camera does not work, and the soft back, home, and recent buttons don’t work). Furthermore, even if you should find a reasonably bug free jellybean rom, upgrading to jb would ensure the inability to use Chainfire3d, which is needed should you be interested in running games like Shadowgun or Epoch. Thus, modifying the stock firmware would seem to be the most logical option to get the most out of this tablet. At this point I would also advise avoiding Pimp My Rom, Android Tweaker, Seeder, task killers, and ram management apps; some yield less than favorable results and some conflict with V6 SuperCharger, which imo yields optimal results. So now that we have established it is probably not prudent to flash a different rom, how can we relatively easily modify the stock firmware so as to maximize for efficiency and utility???
***Obligatory Warning & Disclaimer: Although all of the following mods are proven by my empirical results, I take no responsibility if you cannot follow directions and brick your tablet :silly:, but I will periodically check this thread and provide what little help I am capable of should anyone have any issues . Also to be on the safe side I would advise ensuring at least a 50% battery level before undertaking any of these steps; an unexpected shutdown may have deleterious effects :crying:!!!
***Note: If while following this guide you find your performance getting worse (e.g. laggy, slow boot and load times) don’t worry I too experienced such things at various points and the last step “SuperClean and ReStart” will make all the mods work together as an efficient whole. Should you opt not to use V6 SuperCharger you should still wipe your cache and dalvik cache once you are done making changes, after wiping caches reboot (I would advise not interacting with the device for 5-10 minutes in order to allow the dalvik to rebuild without interference).
***Giving Credit Where Credit is Due: I take no credit for any of the following mods, methodologies, or apps (with the exception of figuring out how to extend the usb host capacities and the actual modding of the vold.fstab file not the general method). Links are provided to the relevant original posts/threads, so be sure to check them out and give the posts thanks and the threads five star ratings (don’t forget me if you find this post useful)!!! :good:
:laugh: Now on to the fun stuff (be sure to read each step in its entirety before proceeding with it; reading all the steps before doing anything would also likely be wise):
1. Factory Reset: This step is totally OPTIONAL, but it would be cool if someone did it as it would allow that individual to make an as near to stock as is possible nandroid backup that would be permissible to post to this thread/forum. Obviously you can backup/restore all your apps and data with titanium backup, rom toolbox, or a similar app. I would appreciate it as I instituted a number of these mods before I found a viable cwm (don’t know why as I never plan to go back, lol, guess it’s just a sense of completeness or something) and I imagine our buddy chris0488 would appreciate it too as it would allow him to return full functionality to his device. Note: I would advise resetting if you want to switch your internal and external sd cards (see step 7), although I believe you can just copy all the contents of your internal to your external sd prior to the switch and be good to go following a reboot, but I am unsure if this works with the asecure folder (the folder with all the stuff moved to sd card via the native apps to sd function). In my opinion, wiping and restoring later seems cleaner and safer.
2a. Gain Root: You can use the free version of Unlock Root [warning: this will change you pc’s browser homepage, add a search bar, and a few add-ons; luckily all the changes can be undone with minimal effort]. It is a simple oneclick program: enable usb debugging (settings>>developer options) and unknown installation sources (settings>>security) on your tablet, connect to pc via usb, do NOT enable storage mode, run Unlock Root and follow the prompts. Note: You need to have the proper driver installed on your pc prior to running Unlock Root; Koush recently released a universal adb driver, check it out here http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-driver-for-windows-that-actually-works-on-8/ .
2b. If already rooted and if you did step 1 reinstall SuperSU.
3. Adding ClockworkMod Recovery [warning: this is a cwm 5 based recovery that is not fully functional on our device, it does NOT backup the contents of the external sd, but aside from that it works as it should]: Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702299 and download the zip from the first post to the base directory of your internal sd card, unzip, install the novotools apk, run novotools, select ‘flash recovery.’ You should get a toast that reads something to the effect of ‘recovery flashed.’ To test if it worked reboot in to recovery (this can be done via novotools, settings>>backup/recovery, or by powering off and then powering back on while holding the vol+ button), make a backup, and reboot. Uninstall novotools as it is no longer of use. If you did step 1 please post a copy of this backup. Note: Should you ever do a restore and all your data is not fully restored just keep restoring it and eventually cwm will get it right (this seems to be a fairly common issue with modded versions of cwm). Also note that should you switch your internal and external sd, cwm will backup the actual external as if was the internal, which is good, but for some reason when using the standard backup option that normally writes to the external sd (post-switch this would be the actual internal sd) it writes to the internal sd (post-switch this would be the actual external sd), which is not a bad thing, it’s just a bit odd imo.

4. Chainfire3D: This is more for gamers, however some report more general performance gains; in my experience I noticed no enhancements aside from the ability to play previously unplayable games. You can install it through the playstore or you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427 (don’t bother with the pro version as the per-app settings do NOT work). Don’t worry cf3d is compatible with our stock version of ics, just do NOT use nightmode. The first time you run the app you will need to install its driver (just install the normal one, as I understand things I do not think the experimental one would benefit our device), which requires a reboot. Upon rebooting you will find cf3d is missing from the app drawer, simply reinstall it and you’ll almost be ready. Run a search of xda or on google and download the plug-ins, place the zips in the base directory of your sd card and install them using cf3d. After installing them you can delete the zips. Now have fun experimenting with the settings and seeing what games you can get running! Note: As noted numerous other places don’t forget to turn off all the default settings when not playing a game that requires it; the reasons being battery drain and image quality degradation.
***The following three steps require a root file manager (e.g. root explorer, es file explorer) so go install your preferred app now.
5. Adding Full USB Host API: Have you noticed the limited nature of your tablet’s usb host abilities (e.g. you can plug and play external keyboards, but you cannot communicate with thumb drives and game pads, despite the fact they are being powered)? Well the reason for this is that the developers forgot or neglected to include the requisite permission. To remedy this quandary you need to manually add it. Download the xml file I made here http://www54.zippyshare.com/v/23184268/file.html somewhere on your device. Using your root file manager select the xml file for move or copy, next navigate to the system/etc/permissions directory, mount r/w, paste, set permissions to rw-r--r--, mount r/o, and reboot. You can now use thumb drives and game pads! Note: You will need a mini on-the-go (otg) cable in order to connect with devices that need to be powered and you will need an app (I recommend USB/BT Joystick Center 6) to get game pads working unless you can manually install the proper drivers.
6. Touch Response & Scrolling build.prop Tweaks: Via your root file manager navigate to the system directory, mount r/w, copy the untouched build.prop file somewhere safe to act as a backup should you ever want or need it (root explorer will automatically make a backup for you named build.prop.bak), go back to the system directory, open the build.prop file with your root file manager’s text editor, and add the following lines to the end of the file:
debug.performance.tuning=1
video.accelerate.hw=1
ro.max.fling_velocity=12000
ro.min.fling_velocity=8000
ro.min_pointer_dur=8
view.scroll_friction=0
save, exit, ensure permissions are still set to rw-r--r--, mount r/o, and reboot. Note: The effectiveness of build.prop tweaks are debatable and I added these tweaks after supercharging, which also helps touch and scrolling, I think there were some marginal gains in sensitivity and speed, but it could just be placebo as such you’re probably not missing too much if you skip this step.
7. Switching Internal & External SD Cards (modified vold.fstab): Although there are a number of apps and scripts that can move data and apps to the external sd they all have downsides like ram consumption, getting killed, being tedious, being laggy, and requiring special partitions. I believe the best way to get more really functional memory is to hard switch the internal and external sd cards by using a modded vold.fstab file. Warning: This will introduce one minor bug, after you disconnect your device from your pc when using usb storage mode the internal sd (post-switch the actual external sd) will not automatically remount, the solution is simply to reboot – although this is marginally annoying it is a small price to pay and you can avoid it for the most part by using a wireless file transfer app (I like Airdroid). To make things a bit easier on you, go here http://www36.zippyshare.com/v/75650346/file.html and download the zip I made. Extract it somewhere on your device; you’ll get two files vold.fstab.bak (this is a copy of the original file you can use as a backup) and vold.fstab (which is the file I modified). Using your root file manager navigate to the system/etc directory, mount r/w, delete the vold.fstab file, go back to where you extracted the zip and select the modded vold.fstab file for copy/move, navigate back to system/etc, paste, set permissions to rw-r--r--, mount r/o, and reboot. Check to see if it worked by going to settings>>storage. Magic! Note: I am using a 32 mb class 4 Sandisk and performance seems the same if not a little better, but should you use a different class or manufacturer your results may vary. Also note that if you decide to do this make sure your actual external sd only has one partition and that it is formatted to fat32. If you have multiple partitions the switch will not work properly and I am not sure what will happen if it is formatted differently, but I imagine the switch would not work as the actual internal sd is fat32.
8. Ram Swap: Fortunately our stock kernel supports swap, which basically allows background things that are consuming ram to be pushed on to a portion of a sd card. In order to take advantage of this option you must use an app or script and there are quite a few of them (many of which require a special partition), I recommend Swapper 2 because of its ease and lightness (it eats around 2 mb of ram), plus it’s free. Install it via the playstore or grab it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821071 . Once installed, run it, and from its main settings menu enable run on boot, safe unmount, and safe remount, also set your swap size and swappiness (I personally use 256 mb/60; you can probably set the size to a lesser value as I never come close to use it all). Now go in to its advanced settings menu and enable recreate swap file and reformat swap. Finally go back to the app’s main screen and turn it on. Give it a few minutes to set everything up and you’ll be up and running. You have just expanded your ram! Note: Many of the steps in this guide could be done in any order, however I strongly advise doing this after switching your internal and external that way the swap file is created on what is actually your external sd. Warning: Swap may degrade sd card life.
9. Reinstall/Restore Apps: If you did step 1, now is a good time to reinstall or restore your apps.
10. Debloat System Apps: Using your root file manager navigate to system/apps, mount r/w, delete unused/unwanted apk files, mount r/o, and reboot. Check this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Barebones web page out and use it as a general guideline for what is safe to remove. I personally deleted livewallpapers and livewallpaperspicker, replaced the stock launcher with apex launcher, and replaced the calculator, recorder, music, and musicfx apps with tiny apps (floating). To turn a user app in to a system app navigate to data/apps, select the desired apk file for move, navigate to system/apps, paste, ensure permissions are rw-r--r--, mount r/o, and reboot. Note: These tasks can be accomplished in a more automated fashion using apps like titanium backup or rom toolbox.
11. Force Apps to SD: I assume you have used the native apps to sd function to move all the apps that would allow it, but usually there are still a few large apps stuck on your internal storage (the 1 gb part). Use an app like Droidsail Super App2SD to force the larger apps that do not support the native function to the sd; experiment and see what apps can safely be moved, most games can be moved without change in performance (e.g. lag, load times).
12. Adding Init.d Support: Init.d is basically the ability to run scripts during the boot process; it is not really needed, but it makes supercharger better as you will not have to set script manager to run on boot. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849 and download the app from the first post, install it, run it, select enable init.d support, select verify to check if it worked, and you’re done. Uninstall the app as it is no longer of use. Damn that was easy! Note: I am not sure if the version of busybox installed with Unlock Root has the needed applet so you may want to install a newer/different version of busybox via one of its many installer apps or use the supercharger starter kit [see step 13] prior to this step.
13. V6 SuperCharger: As preparation go to the playstore and install Script Manager. Next head on over to the main thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276 and check it out; I cannot sing my praises for this script loud enough, it rocks harder than ledzep. After you read through the first two posts of the main thread go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021 and download the newest starter kit. Extract the zip in the base directory of your internal sd (if you did the sd switch this would be your actual external sd), run the StartMeUp.sh script with superuser permission via script manager, and follow the prompts (note: SuperSU’s su binary is good and will avoid errors, you should just run this to ensure busybox has all the needed applets and to add sqlite and zipalign). Now go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39519682#post39519682 to grab the latest V6 SuperCharger script and go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914159 to get the latest Ultimatic Jar Patcher Tools. Extract the Ultimatic Jar Patcher Tools zip anywhere on your pc. Next connect your tablet to your pc via usb, do NOT turn on storage mode, run the v6 supercharger script with superuser permission via script manager, follow the prompts and you’ll be supercharged in no time; as the first post in the main thread states, ‘it will hold your hand and explain things as it goes along.’ Be sure when you get to the “Jelly ISCream” phase to choose the manual option and use the Ultimatic Jar Patcher Tools (all you have to do is run the ultimatic .bat file). Also I cannot stress enough do not forget to “SuperClean and ReStart.”
If you followed steps one through thirteen you should now have a mega-dope-fresh-fly custom rom with numerous appreciable performance gains (full usb host capacities, better touch response, faster scrolling, fewer launcher redraws, faster web browsing, better battery life, faster boot times, faster load times, better multitasking, and I’m sure there are a few more that are not coming to mind at the moment). I would also suggest installing an app that hides the bottom/system bar, I recommend full!screen+, so as to maximize your viewable real estate (note: this will throw off the touch mapping in a few apps, so have an easy means of restoring it when needed). As usual be safe when hacking – make backups (after each step?) and always wear a condom (on each appendage?) . Enjoy, Have Fun, & Don’t Forget to Give Thanks!!! :laugh:
a few updates to my guide
Another way to achieve the same results as step 8 can be found here http://androidforums.com/boost-mobile-warp-all-things-root/610449-ram-swapping-without-swapper2.html . It works perfectly so long as you follow step 12 and add init.d support. Moreover, this will save you a few megabytes of memory and ram. Note: You will need to edit the 99SuperCharger init.d script to reflect the same swappiness value as that set up in your sysctl.conf file; if you don't supercharger will set swappiness to 20.

Full USB host API
Could anyone post the xml file to enable full USB host API as it seems to no longer be on zippyshare, or explain how to enable it without the xml file?
Thanks
Hi defiant07,
First, sorry for my poor English
I just bought the tablet Dragon Touch Y88 (with Android 4.1.1), and because of the limitations of internal space, I realize indicating step # 7, but the link to the file vold.fstab no longer working. Might you please make a new link or send me the modified file?
thanks
my A7 stopped booting and i contacted the company, they sent me this link.

hopefully this helps in some way of Roms/modding
Is there a way to root the Dragon Touch Y88X? I tried root unlock, but I can't even get the newest version to install correctly. I've tried older versions but my device isn't being detected. I have the generic adb drivers installed and debugging is enabled, still no luck. any help would be appreciated.
does anyone have the newest release of Root Unlock minus the spyware? or any other root method?
Been trying a variety of methods but haven't had any luck being able to gain root. Most instructions relating to Dragon Touch tablets seem to be for ICS or JB, not for Kit Kat.
There's one thing I hate about living in Germany. It's that we never get the high storage capacity models of most Smartphone models. We always get the base models with 16 or 32 Gigabytes of internal storage. But the ads and people working at the big stores will tell you "Well, you can put a microSD card in it". Screw you, you idiot! We both know it won't help me! I need high storage because games have become huge and WhatsApp folders are at least 2 - 3 Gigabytes since the introduction of animated GIFs. We also know that Google's adoptable storage is A) complete BS B) it's disabled on almost all Samsung devices and C) even if you enable it, it doesn't work the way it's supposed to on Samsung devices. More on that some other time. We also know that moving apps to external storage doesn't do crap because it only moves 50 or 60 Megabytes which is completely useless if you ask me. So, here's my guide.
This should work on any ROM, be it AOSP or TW and Android version higher than 5.0.
Tested working on:
Samsung Galaxy S3 running LineageOS 14.2 (Android 7.1.2)
Samsung Galaxy S4 running deodexed Android 5.0.2
Samsung Galaxy S7 (Edge) running stock Android.
Samsung Galaxy S7 (Edge) running SuperMan ROM 2.7.x with SuperStock Kernel 2.10.x.
What you're going to need:
MAKE A F*#?!85 BACKUP OF ANYTHING YOU'RE GOING TO TOUCH!
- Root isn't necessary but advised.
- TWRP.
- Official Xposed Framework.
- XinternalSD.
- If your on a stock ROM or you know the ROM you're running doesn't have an SD card fix (RW for external storage) implemented, we're also gonna need Marshmallow SD fix. Don't get confused by the name. It works on Lollipop and Nougat, too.
- Alternatively you can use SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD by NextApp, inc. (FX File Explorer). This also works on Marshmallow but I haven't tested it on Nougat.
- Don't forget to enable XinternalSD and Marshmallow SD fix, if you chose to use it in Xposed Installers Modules menu!
After you've successfully installed all the steps above do the following:
- Open a File Explorer of your choice and move the WhatsApp folder to you external Storage.
- Open XinternalSD and tap on "Enable for apps".
- In this list you're going to want to check the box for WhatsApp.
- Reboot (Not sure if necessary. Just for good measure) and you're done.
- Test to see if new media is stored on external storage.
To store downloaded files from Chrome directly on external storage do the following:
- Open XinternalSD and tap on "Enable for apps".
- In this list, check the box for "Chrome".
- Reboot for good measure and you should be done.
This method works for almost any app, but to quote @MBariya
But supports only in that apps which has location modification option only in internal sd...

To be fair, his statement is from 2014. A lot of things changed since then. Maybe it's obsolete. I don't know, I'm not an engineer.
I reply here because I spent a lot of time searching through very old posts and trying outdated methods. I didn't know that actually today there is a very easy solution to move whatsapp media folder to SD card. It perfectly worked on my Samsung Galaxy A3 A320FL with Oreo:
1) Root (I used twrp + magisk method)
2) Download "App2SD" (the original by Vicky Bonick; it's free) and follow instructions on how to create partitions
3) Use "folder mount (app analyzer)" feature, which apparently was not considered in the old posts in this forum, so I suppose it was recently added to App2SD.
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.
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").
