5. i read instruction for for flashing cm9.1 rom. there are two different methods which one to follow.
Installation
First time installing CyanogenMod 9 to your Htc Explorer/Pico, or coming from another ROM:
- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery
- Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9 zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Reboot
- Don't restore data using Titanium Backup! they might cause FC's
- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible! (metioned in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29938916) or (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33608084&postcount=2897).

Hey there
1. The battery life depends on how you use your phone. If you’re connected to a 3G network all day while playing or watching videos, the battery won’t last that long. For casual everyday use, the battery is great. I didn’t charge it for 2 days once
2. Yes, you can flash through yannou’s recovery but it would be ideal if you flash CWM recovery since it’s recommended. If you partition your sd card, it will be automatically formatted so its best if you back up your data, partition the sd card and then copy all the files. You can partition using CWM and then install Link2sd which, when opened, it will prompt you with the file system of your sd ext. Choose ext3 and reboot. The partition itself isn’t needed for cm9.1 but you can you a2sd scripts if you’re partitioned.
3. To flash it, download the rom and gapps. Put them in the sdcard. Then boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, go to advanced -> wipe dalvik. Then install zip from sd card and find the rom. After you flash the rom, flash the gapps and reboot. Give it a few minutes since the first boot takes some time. And there you go

No, no, stick with yannou's! Official cwm sometimes give's mounting issues with our phone, and sometimes if you drain fully your battery you'll get in to adventure.
Yes flashing process is the same, basikly everything is the same as cwm
Install ROM Manager on your phone and the first option should be to install Clockworkmod Recovery. Follow the instructions on screen. I'd use yannou's recovery though.
Yes, the instructions are the same for yannou's recovery.
And yes, I've used cm9.1 for over 2 months. I'm using HTC sense 4.0a rom by derefas right now

I am not sure about the build #9 but build #11 is really cool.. Here is the link. U also get the link form the post u mention above under the page 305

Nothing serious with this matter. Almost all recovery will work with this ROM. But my opinion is use TWRP recovery, it provide lot of feature also its provide touch support and ext partition support also....

3. before flashing should i partition ma sd card or can we do dat after flashing?? if i should do partition which is best ext2/3/4 or fat32. now ma sd card isnt partitioned once also. so can i do before flashing then after have to move cm9.1 ROM zip file to SD card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
its depends upon Ur need man. If Ur going to use internal memory increasing script u must have an 2nd partition in Ur SD card. ext2/3/4 is depend upon the memory script and ROM Ur going to use..
My Suggestion:
Try m2sd script with ext4 partition its work like a charm.. but i read from some post ext4 will damage SD sooner. but perform better. i am always need performance. but i am sure that till now no damage or performance issue occurred in my SD card as well as phone.
before or after partition is ur choice when u need partition u do it. But some ROM need 2nd partition while flashing be careful on that but cm9.1 doesn't need any support from sd card

Both the instruction telling the same thing for u. Here is my guide as same like they stated...
1.copy Ur ROM and GAPPS zip to ur SD-card
2.wipe all the partition data,cache,system,dalvik,etc... except SD-card
3.install ROM zip then install GAPPS zip.
4.Then reboot..
5.wait until u get the home screen.. first boot take some time so be patient
6.After that leave Ur phone for a minute then once again restart Ur phone.
7. final but important click thanks to the Developer and other who help u to install the ROM successfully..
this instruction is for clean installation this will never lead Ur device to problem

thanq u all.. but i have some clarification about partiton only.. can anybody give me guide about partitons for CM9.1 . which is best, simple and error free, wheather to go partition then flashing or flashing then partition.. and plz give me guide thru recovery.. and where its pre or post flashing.. pls do needful..
edit :
im unable to figure it out abot s2e scripts, int2sd scripts.. so please tell me actually what are those and how the linked with ext2/3/4 partitioms..
Its simple if ur using recovery for partition u will lose all the data in SD card. So use mini partition wizard tool for make partition.. after or before flashing is does not matter if u going to add memory script then partition memory card... then add the rom zip then flash it..

As much as i remember, Older builds of CM9.1 had battery drain problems. It has been rectified in the latest builds (Aleast have been rectified in build 10 and 11)
I say you go for CM9.1 Build 11 by ayushrox. I am using it right now. I run my phone with extensive Music usage for 1 and half to 2 days. I have once kept my phone running without charge for 3 days. Right now as i type, i am off the charger for 12 hours, still i have 55% battery remaining, this is good for me, as i use an always on internet.
I never used CWM. I use a different recovery (i dont know its name), and i flash using it successfully.
I use Link2SD with a partition i made BEFORE the installation. I use Minitool Partition Wizard to create partitions. It is for Windows.
I always ask people to do a clean install. This would eradicate any issues in the future.

When you create a partition in your memory card, open Link2SD. Link2SD will ask you the partition type, select and tap ok. The app creates mount script by itself.
Link2SD is a 500KB app at the Play Store.

I never used Mount2SD and never will, cos link2sd works well for me.
Here is what i did:
1. Partition microSD with format ext2. (I used Minitool Partition Wizard for this. A freeware program for Windows)
2. Insert it in the phone, download Link2SD from Play Store.
3. Open Link2SD, it will prompt you to select your partition type. Select ext2.
4. Link2SD will create a mount script and ask you to restart the phone. Do so.
5. After restart, go back to Link2SD, press menu button to open menu.
6. Open "Settings". Make sure "Auto link" is ticked.
7. Exit Link2SD, do a restart.
Thats it! now whenever i install an app, Link2SD sends it to the partition automatically.
Sometimes you may get a phone memory full notification. In that case power off your phone and on it again.
EDIT: all this was done with CM9.1 previously installed.
So what are steps to install cm9.1.
Is it necessary to clear dalvik cache.

hey guys can you help me.......
i root my HTC EXPLORE .....
now i want to use custom rom...but dnt knw how to do.....
read lots of topic some one say make partition in sd card some say do dirct..
and some say make recovery 4EXT like that........i dnt get it any thing
my phone rooted now....
what my next step....
can u telll me in simple way............
Do u have cwm recovery installed ??
If yes just download the rom, put it in sd card and flash using the recovery( instructions are given for installation in the rom threads)!
Partition ur sd card if u wanna incrrase ur internal memory using recovery or minitool partition wizard from pc(google how to partition) !!
Press thanks if helped
It's better to make ext partition it's simple, get in to recovery(I assume you already have recovery), then advanced menu, there is "partition sd card", make "ext" less than 2gb and make "swap" to be 0. Everything in your sd will be deleted, so if you have something important move it to pc first.
To flash rom is easy, first get rom on your sd, then "mount"(from recovery "mount and storage") everything then wipe everything, except sd card. Then just click "install zip from sd" and....... that's it

The most simple method according to me is install rom manager flash cwm recovery
Then switch off phone
Press power + volume down
In bootloader go to recovery
Now the internal memory of explorer is very low so i recommend yo to make a sd-ext partition.
For that go to advanced-partition sd ,select the size Acording to ur sd card then swap size 0 wait till its done . This will format your sd card. then go To mounts and storage mount usb copy the rom and gapps(if required) to your sd from pc
Then go to install zip from sd choose zip and install.
You are done

Hello,
So the Whatsapp application currently takes up about 10 MB of data on my phone. All of that seems to be on the internal memory and not on the SD card even though I've rooted the phone and moved it to the SD card. How can I reduce the application data? I don't even need whatsapp to take a backup of all my messages.
Basically, I always have only 15MB-20MB of free internal memory. How to get more? I only have Twitter and Whatsapp installed. I've rooted the device also so I can delete anything/move anything to SD Card. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Crazysah
Hey there ,
In order to solve your doubt I need a few answers :
How big is your partition ?
Which script have you used?
Which ROM are you using ?
Here are some possible solutions :
With respect to whatsapp only.. you can delete / clear all your chats from the menu.You can delete message backup by first uninstalling whatsapp deleting the message backup on your SD card ( Whatsapp folder on sd card ) .. and reinstalling whatsapp..
If you want to increase your internal memory :
I think you will have to create an SD-EXT partition.. ( assuming you dont have one cause you havent mentioned it). You will get a guide On this post. Check partitioning of SD - Card.
If you are on Stock ROM you will have to create a FAT32 partition and use Link2SD and transfer your apps to your sd partition.
If your on a custom ROM it is recommended to create an EXT partition (for eg: EXT 2,3,4 ) ... and install simple2ext or Mount2Sd or similar such apps..
Depending on how big the partition is you wont face any problems and you can install as many apps as you wish..
I hope this solved your problem.
AFAIK, Whatsapp currently does not support App2SD methods..
Means you have to keep Whatsapp in the internal memory only..
You can use some sort of script to substitute/increase internal memory, as akshat said..
I m using link2sd on cyanogen 10 by sakindia
I have linked whatsapp and it works
I have 80 mb free internal memory with 15 installed apps like Facebook temple run and subway surfer

I'm not sure how big my partition is but I have 1.8 GB total space on my SD card. At the moment, I only have 16MB free space on internal memory.
I am using stock ROM but I have rooted and installed SuperUser and Link2SD.
I just want more internal memory. Period. That's all I care about. If this means installing a custom ROM, I'll do it. If this means partitioning my SD card, I'll do it.
Just tell me which is easier and better for long term.

I would suggest you try out a custom Rom and with an ext partition it will work well. Partition Upton 2 Gb and use a script. That's what I do and have had no issues with it... Check out the sscript threads or iinstall the apps in the previous posts. I have also mentioned a guide there.. Gives you the info about partitioning..

Sorry been a bit busy..
I recommend you install cm9 build 11 ... Its a pretty good ROM to start off with...
1 backup all your apps/ data with titanium backup or similar apps.. ( do not backup system apps and data only backup user apps )
2 download ROM from cm9 thread and copy it on to your sdcard .. ( preferably don't put it in any folder )
3 reboot into recovery ( turn off phone .. Remove battery and put it back in
4 press volume down and power simultaneously and enter bootloader
5 using power and volume rockers select and enter recovrry ..
6 using power and rockers select factory reset and then go to mounts and storage wipe cache boot data and system.. ( DO NOT WIPE YOUR SD CARD / EXTERNAL STORAGE )
7 Go back and go to advanced and wipe dalvik...
8 then click on install zip from SD card...
9 select cm9 build11 zip and flash
10 reboot and enjoy your ice cream sandwich 4.0.4

Yes I did all of this. I even partitioned my SD after installing it.
The only problem is, all the Google Apps disappeared. How do I get them back? Even the Play Store disappeared.
Go to http://www.goo.im/gapps and download stripped gapps

For this you don't need s-off (which anyway you can't do). Just use recovery (you already have that) and create partition. If you are using cwm, in advanced menu there is option 'repartition sd card', just follow the steps, and remember this will erase all your info from the sd, so it's better to back that up. Also you can create partition using pc with "mini tool partition wizard" google it. Another thing don't make ext partition bigger than 2GB and don't create swap partition.
That's it. Have fun
Edit: @Saumitra Yadav- damn you are fast , but what you explayned is........ why create another partition, sd card is already fat partitioned? (Maybe I'm wrong but I think link2sd also works with ext)
Edit2: Yes it needs second partition which can be fat32, but it also can be ext, so just make ext

Using cwm the partition created is ext3 which cannot be mounted on stock Rom .. so create a Fat32 using minitool partition wizard

first time in your post, I saw op's cm10, and forgot that possibility that actually stock rom doesn't support ext.
There was very long time ago when my phone haded stock rom.
already tried creating it...get an error saying that mount script cannot be created.
link2sd faq quote :
Q. I get "Mount script cannot be created. cannot create /system/etc/install-recovery.sh: not enough memory" error.
Some HTC devices are "NAND locked". On "NAND locked" (or "S-ON") devices the /system partition is write-protected by the bootloader and thus cannot be modified even if you have root privileges.
In order to use Link2SD you need to do "S-OFF" to disable this NAND lock. (a.k.a. "NAND unlock" or "unlocking the bootloader")

Its not your fault. What i can understand, is that the CM10 rom you are using, most probably doesnt support MEM Script.... You need a ROM that has init.d and Busybox support... Check if it has or not!!!
Press THANKS if it helped!!!:good:
Download pimp my rom from play store
Using it get init.d support if rom has
Then use m2sd(no config needed)
Then reboot twice
Hit thanks if helped

Hi I'm a little bit confused and lost between stock recovery, cwm, rom manager and my new SD card.
I browsed 100s of threads and watch alot of good and some not so good videos but 'im still not sure what my best next moves are and why some things dont work.
I have a
Sansung GT i9300
Anroid 4.1.2
Baseband I900XXEMC2
Kernel 3.0.31-1032335 [email protected]#1SMP PEEMPT Mon March11 ..KST 2013
Build JZO54K.I9300XXEMC2
I wanted to use apps like Titanium BackUpPro and Avast so I rooted my phone flashing CWM v3.55 via Odin and have been using it with out any problems for a while.
Then I decided that I would like to flash a custom rom like cm and I downloaded Rom Manager thinking it to be the right tool... ?
I let Rom Manager flash the latest version of CWM recovery 6.0.4.6 ...
but when I look on the apps on my phone I find CWM v3.55-Chainfire ? and
if I try to update I get directed to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
When booting in rcovery mode my phone enters the android system recovery e3 and I get an Error message:
E:faild to mount /data (invalid agrument)
What exactly does this mean ???
Should I try flashing CWM 6 non toutch via Odin or flash back stock ROM?
I thought I would try backing up to an ext SD card so I orderd a SanDisc mircosd 64GB card but the problem still remains.
I still cant back up my ROM using ROM Manager or CWM
Why ? What happend?
I tried formating the SD card with ROM Magager but SD card fails to load. I tried formating with gparted fat32. Still wont load...
The ext SD card shows up in the file exlporer on my phone just fine but
I can't seem to be able to get Rom Manager to recognize it and CWM recovery isn't working.
So instead of backin up my exsiting ROM to the SD card maybe it would be a better idea to install CWM and CM to the SD card
and keep my ROM on the internal SD as it is???
I tried creating a bootable ext sd card with CWM and CM like here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_acclaim
but when it comes to booting the phone in recovery mode I still get the E:faild to mount /data (invalid agrument) message....?
How do I boot from ext sd card?
Whats my next best move?
I have a working rooted ROM on my local SD card with all my apps backed up in clowd. But my recovery mode issue remains to be resolved.
and I have a 64GB ext SD card with CWM and CM on it but I can't install with Rom Manager? because SD card fails to load.
Thanks for trying to follow so far!!!!

First option:
1- Download Philz recovery from: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300/philz_touch_6.07.9-i9300.tar.md5
and flash it with odin 3.07or newer
2- Downlad SuperSu root from: http://vk.com/doc167892454_171297436?hash=877f29ccdb4e944a70&dl=28aabb49a7217e1962, copy to your device, go to recovery mode and do 'install zip from...'
Second option:
1- Download CF-Auto Root from http://download.chainfire.eu/229/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.zip, extract and flash it with odin (that should enable root permissions in your device).
2- Download CWM Manager from PlayStore and do a flash, or better- flash the Philz recovery as above (you don't neet the root file)
Follow the Odin packages instructions...?

Yep, follow it,
And yes- both backup and exSD use (called sdCard0 in the recovery), here's the developer's thread & guide:

Easy way to flash CWM or Touch wiz is to download EZ-Recovery from the play store, open the app scroll to recovery, click recovery and choose which one you want and click flash. Done. I personally like TW.
