hello guys hope you all are fine.
I am on stock ROM but my phone is rooted and I have made a ext partition of my memory card and using it with link2sd and I am going to install cm9 build 14 on my phone.You will need this information to answer my questions.
I have some questions in my mind so please help me.
1.in cm9 thread there's written that "Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery".I thinks so I am using yannou90 recovery so will I able to flash this rom or first I have to install this recovery from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168725 ?
2.i am little bit confused between these 4 memory scripts (D2EXT+,INTEXT+,Mounts2sd,ungaze) or you can suggest me any better memory script and please include the link of the script.
please answer my questions I am a complete noob.
This is my first post so If i have posted in wrong section please move it to right section
Thanks in advance.
You've nailed the section, congrats
Now jokes asaid, your recovery is perfectly fine to flash whichever rom you wan't, the warnning is there for another reason, way back (1.5 years or something) there was some not succesfull attemppts with cwm(original one, not the one that you have)...... so don't worry, just follow instructions.
Now about your second question, I personnaly prefer mounts2sd becouse it has more options, the other scripts that you mentioned don't have this much options, but on the other hand, they are simpler to use and won't give you headakes if you play with them(mostly becouse you just can't). Also in my signature is really good explenation about memory scripts, check it out if you have some time
three more question.I saw a video on YouTube of installing cm9 in pico.He also wiped his cache partition so is it compulsory to do this? and the second is will i lose all my apps and ext partition after installing cm9 and the third question i have 1.5 gb of ext partition how can I extend it to 2gb.

Hey, Let me try to answer your queries.
1. Its better to wipe your cache partition. I dont know if its "necessary" or not but i always prefer to wipe it and have a clean flash of rom.
2. Start using Titanium Backup app. It will backup your apps+data to a particular folder in memory card. copy that folder in PC, after u r done with flashing just install titanium backup again and put the copied folder back in memory card. You wont lose your apps.
3. to expand 1.5 gb, use "ease us partition manager". its very user friendly. simply remove 500 mb from ur fat32 card and merge it with 1.5gb partition with correct extension.

I have already made the backup of my apps don't need their data.as i already mention that i am using link2sd on my stock rom so I also want to clean my ext partition how will I do this? should I also wipe dalvik cache? I have also made a nandroid backup of my pico.
I have to DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET before flashing cm9 or after flashing cm9
Check out this video.. click here
and in the instruction there's said " DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)" I have to do this after flashing rom and gapps right?
No u have to do it before
BEFORE flashing roms you should wipe EVERYTHING! After that, it's just not needed.
All set I have flashed cm9 build 14 in my pico thanks all for guiding me,Now I want to use mounts2sd script and there's written no app should be installed before flashing mount2sd,I was setting up my WiFi.My phone automatically updated the google play store to 4.x.x and also installed google play store services so what should I do now first uninstall the update and google play store services and then flash the mounts2sd or just flash mounts2sd without uninstalling anything?
Small suggestion
why don't you try DroidSail Super App2SD Lite to move apps from Phone to SD it Pops a Notification whenever a new App is Installed here the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DMsImNvbS5kcm9pZHNhaWwuZHNhcHAyc2QiXQ..:good:

Flash it without uninstalling anything. But I'd recommend the play store version of mounts2sd which has a GUI

I can't view the image but the play store version is the same app and can be updated like any other app. Flashable version must be configured from terminal as it doesn't include a GUI
It should, if it doesn't you can always flash the other version, personally I haven't tryed it with cm 9(playstore mounts2sd I mean), but there should be no issues. Just if you have 'android is upgrading' after every boot (not the first) you can try setting, 'sd-ext type' to 'automatic' also you can dissable 'safemode' drom playstore app, but do that only if you have issues, if not this things are useles s
@ Sachin damn you're fast

Your help Is appreciated, Im pretty new to this flashing stuff so am experimenting.
Ive just flashed the djdroyd rom and the new radio succesfully.
Ive not done anything to my phone in regards to customising so am considering flashing this one.
Can you answer a few questions for me?
If I flash this will it work with the radio I have flashed from djdroyd?
If I install rom manager (i really like this programme as its easy to use) and format partition using it 512mb and 0 on the other option.. will apps2sd then work?
could someone please possibly just post a step by step guide how to install this properly?for example on a rooted stock rom 2.1 desire, unlocked unbranded that has a new micro sd card?id be very very grateful. thanks

1: Yes it will work, most new (compiled) roms need the new radio
2: a2sd will work automaticly after partitioning your sdcard.

Question about need to wipe
Hi,
one question: As I am using a rom with app2sd+ right now I would like to avoid wiping my sd partition. So what would happen, if I don´t wipe? Can I just continue using my apps like I did with other roms I have flashed in the past?
Thanks

The ModInstallLocation.apk is an aplication to force system to instal aplication on internal memory (phone) or in sd card (external), used normaly with froyo roms to force all apps to be instaled in sd and save internal storage.
But this ROM uses ext partition to install apks, then you dont need to use the default app2sd from froyo, then the better option is set instalation of the aplication to phone (ext partition), for me the clean and noproblem way
But, if you dont use an ext partition i think this apk is a "must have" then you must to set "instal external default" (fat32 partition)
Hi there,
I had original DJ droid before, Wiped all data, flashed new rom plus radio and i cannot connect to internet through mobile network, Wifi works just fine,
I check the signal strengh and is HSDPA, mobile network is on, data enabled, and network mode is GSM, WCDMA auto,
Network Three in UK
Please anyone help me get this sort, Works great before on DJ Droid, SD card was wiped and ext part installed before flashing rom
This thread is based on Firerat's work, just modded a little to be more specific for the EVO, so be sure to thank him for his work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717874
I modded the script so a default of 250MB for system & 125MB for cache(leaves ~570MB for data) is included, so the mtdpartmap.txt in the SD card is not required unless you want to change those. If a mtdpartmap.txt is detected in the SD card during flash, it will overwrite those defaults values with whatever is in the mtdpartmap.txt.
For those that want to change the default values, just mod the attached mtdpartmap.txt
S-OFF is required
This is not for the faint of heart and requires how to flash using fastboot if you want to revert back to stock partition sizes, so if your not comfortable with ANY of the install & uninstall steps below, DO NOT FLASH THIS!!!
Be sure to check how much space your current ROM uses in the system & cache partitions before flashing this, so that way you don't cause problems with this MOD
Most de-odex'd ROMs should be fine with a 250MB system partition but those that are using a Desire HD/Z based ROM might need 300MB or slightly more, so be sure to double check your current system/cache usage before flashing
Also, too small of a cache partition will cause errors with some games & downloading of OTA updates as it uses the cache partition as the download folder
Install
1. Copy FR_Boot_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO, FR_Recovery_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO, FORMAT_ALL zips(& custom mtdpartmap.txt if you want to change the default sizes) to your SD card
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Make a Nandroid backup if you didn't already
4. Format cache, data & system partitions using my FORMAT_ALL.zip for ease
6. Flash FR_Recovery_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO.zip(this patches the recovery to use the custom partition sizes)
7. Reboot into recovery again
8. Restore Nandroid backup or flash new ROM but don't reboot
9. Flash FR_Boot_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO.zip(this patches the kernel to load the custom partition sizes)
10. Reboot
NOTE
Everytime you flash a new ROM or kernel, you must flash the FR_Boot_CustomMTD_v1.5.7b_for_EVO.zip afterwards, so the kernel gets modded to load the custom partition sizes
Uninstall
1. Make a Nandroid backup if you didn't already
2. Boot into Bootloader and select Fastboot USB
3. Reflash custom recovery console using Fastboot
Code:
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Reboot into recovery
5. Format cache, data & system partitions using my FORMAT_ALL.zip for ease
6. Restore Nandroid backup or flash new ROM, if the restore contains a kernel that has modded partition sizes, then reflash the kernel
7. Reboot
Examples
Default 250/125 settings leaves this much on wipe

so besides the increase in available data space, is there any performance advantages?
No real advantages besides that you regain all the lost space from the cache & system partitions

If your low on memory, then I can see some performance increases but I guess I'll have to do a before and after benchmark to see for sure.

Amazing work Calkulin! I am going to test this on mIuI.
Thank you Calk. I was just looking into this thread over on the G1 forums. This is going to come in very handy.
What recovery is the custom recovery based on?
EDIT
NM: Reading comprehension problems. Now I see that it patches the recovery. My other question is do you guys think resizing and creating a swap partition would be beneficial? I already have a lot of free space on /data after moving dalvik-cache to /cache.
Thanks Calk.
Just flashed this, nand restored, and I have 100+ mb available.
Edit: I have about 100mb MORE available than before making this mod on the same ROM/kernel combination.
seems very ricky lol sorry but i have bricked 2 evos lol from not listening to what a guide says and trying my way lol
it would be really cool if someone made a tut and put it on utube or something there needs to be more vids on there of evo any way and no junkphone i mean iphone lol

By the way great SCRIPT/APK. Great work!
So how does it determine what apps get installed there and whatnot?
I already had install to external enabled in cm settings. Only some of the apps went to the ext partition.
How do I add more/move from ext3?
2 XSafire
Now: internal = ext
in CM settings setup install to internel
how do i partition my sd card? I tried to go to the Recovery Mod. I went to the Partition Cd. There were several options like 128m , 256m, 512m and so on. Which one to chose.
tried rom manager to partition my SD, but it created an ext2 partition... and that didnt work with this ...
so i used GParted to create an ext3 partition, after that it worked great
thanks!
*please hold off use of safe strap until further notice. I promise you we are hard at work on it************************************************************There is a new version at the bottom of the post. Please uninstall recovery from with in your currently installed v.1 then uninstall safestrap app. Download and install v.2 and install recovery. If you already have a safe system installed you will need to reflash the zip and wipe data/factory reset. Thanks Jim for the fix! There are now 2 different versions 1 for those not running jims webtop hack and one for those of you that are. Please download the safestrap appropriate for your setup at the bottom of the page. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
What works?
-Everything except mounting usb in recovery.
-Cant seem to format safe system /data
Here it is!!! Our very own Unofficial safestrap recovery!
Whats this mean? Custom rom's!!! CM7 CM9 etc! And no more fxz or cwm on every boot just to save from a softbrick.
How'd we do it?
This was a pain in the A**, Jimbridgeman and myself have worked our butts off on this. We changed the recovery.fstab around so that we are able to use the sd card as a mount point to install the /system partition as well as a separate partition for /data. So in laymen's terms, were booting from the sd.
How to Install -(From Windows)
(Partition sizes are up to you but ext3 partition should be no less then 350mb and the second fat partition should be not less then 500mb)
1.Backup your sdcard

One noob question so the safe system is on the mobile internal memory or on the SD card? If on SD card is it fast enough not to cause performance issues?

The safe system is stored to the sd card, no real performance issues.. 5500ish in antutu running cm7 for the droid 3!
And with that strap i can remove my main stock rom not just install a 2nd rom on sd card ?
Thanks alot to you and jim and hashcode for your grest work i will make sure to press the thanks button alot when i get on my pc

I'm assuming that like with the razr if you are using the bootstrap with on boot you have to remove it before installing the safe strap version?
Thank you
I knew it was only a matter of time!!!!!!
Thank you guys
A link worth sharing http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com/p/how-to-safestrap.html , this is the original safestrap for D3 and RAZR done by hashcode , take a look at his blog to understand more about safestrap if you are a noob like me.
but there is only one question i need to understand using this hack can we install roms on the 1st system ( device memory ) or just on the 2nd system ( SD Card ) ?
This is what I have been using instead of the bootstrap, to use my custom ROMS... it will allow you to use your paid version of CWM the way it should be used. You can now go into CWM and select boot to CWM or flash from sdcard while still in android, and it will boot you into CWM and start flashing....
Thanks for all your hard work!

So essentially, this is a dual boot system of sorts? This allows me to install a custom ROM and run it in Safe mode then go back to my factory ROM by turning off Safe mode?

This will not work to flash ANYTHING to your internal system. It will only flash to the safe system.
Got it thanks!!!

great work man
but is it ... 2012 ?
Should I wait to setup safestrap until you get this fixed, or can I go ahead with it and just replace the .apk later?

CyanogenMod 9-AOKP based
You need to be on 2.3 or 4.0 to flash this!
You are doing this on your own risk! But I will try to help you with anything...

Everything works exept for camera. No reboot, which is most important.
How to install: Download "RASPAKUJ ME!.rar" file. Unzip all three files and copy them on SD. Go to recovery, wipe data/factory reset. Then go to flash zip, and choose "CM9-aokpbased1". When it's done, again go to flash zip and this time choose "mini_gapps-ICS". When it's done - reboot system now. When it turns on, fill up your gmail and name, and then install third file that you copied on SD which is "Google Play v4.0.27". Install google play and that's it.
Thanks to Gulyuk, Shkerzy and rYoo.

does it support usb mounting?
can i use it to port to u8500?
Yes, it supports USB mounting.
Yes. I do not guarantee it will work, but you can try porting it.
Cronmod script!
It would be better to do it on "fresh" system.
You sould go to recovery wipe data,cache,dalvik, then flash rom, google apps and then patch1. Then "reboot system" and do the steps from below...
How to:
Download app and install it
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390248398092764054
Start it and touch "Activate".
To see if it works, touch "Verify".
Reboot system in recovery and flash this(this is cronmod script):
http://fbe.am/gwl
Open "Mounts and storage" and then format "SD ext", say yes, go back and "reboot system now".
Wait a little bit and that's it.

Don't use cronmod! It lags a lot!

Hello i am new one in all these i just did update to my phone to be to 2.3 and make and a partition in my sd cad ext2 to can free a little bit memory. But after the update the battery ends very fast and even if i make an ext2 partition and work with link2sd to connect many apps i still have problem to have free internal memory.
I wanna ask you if with your rom my battery can keep more than a day?
And your rom reorganize memory to have more free internal?
Something else i wanna ask you is why camera have problem you mean that with this rom i cannot take photos? Will you fix it in the near future?And this rom has greek language?
Last but not so important your rom has crt off?
Thank you and sorry for my english
Battery is weak on every rom. I charge my phone every 6h. For free memory on 2.3 rom flash this first:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/FiukKNcd/sd-ext_patch-signed-v11_1.html?
And then reboot and after that flash this:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/MbnqXbuM/to_sd-ext_patch-signed-v10.html?
This will only work if you have init.d. If you don't know if you have init.d install this app and "tap" activate:
http://www.4shared.com/android/6EF6gJU7/Uni-init_v10.html?
and do steps above.

this link http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/WDpOTJF4/_online.html#dir=WDpOTJF4 that you are telling me isn't working and you didn't answer me about camera. But before the update my battery lasts for 3 days without charge and now not even a day is very strange.
Fixed.
I can't fix camera.
I suggest you to use 2.3.4 rom, v5h6 or qme rom. Your battery will last a day...

Good work Darko, but this ROM have questionable usability; I must say there is still lot of input lag in this ROM (you stated there is no lag) which is also present in all CM ROMs. Ambiental lighting sensor wont work, for proxymity im not sure. Also, phone restarted self-initially (to be honest only once). I did exactly what you said (base, gapps, patch, init.d, S2E) with respective order. There is hell of better, faster and more usable ROMs than any of CM for this device.
I forgot to say that sound is to quiet, or i just get used to volume booster in sergey's 2.3 ROM. And this ****ty EQ pops advertising.
Rom is crappy, install CM7, it's far better.
