Guest putbinoot Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 Hmm that is odd indeed. Sorry I can't think of what else may be affecting it. Cheers for trying to help , went back to bluemonte and emails started coming through. Might give it one more shot.
Guest Atomix86 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 Again, forgive my noobness... I am getting a little confused by all this talk of removing items from system & re-installing them as data, then linking to sd card (freeing up space on data), to allow for repartitioning of the system size. Have I understood that right? I have set up Link2sd OK. It works "better" than my previous sd linker, I guess because giving it its own formatted patition on the SD card allows for some apps which were "phone only" to be moved, meaning it is more useful than sd linkers that only use Android "native" link-to-sd tech. But lots of stuff that COULD be put on the sd card, are stuck in system (Maps & Docs being 2 largish ones). Deleting them does not free up data space. I can see the sense of moving them from system, if I could then get the system space back. But how do I do this? I am unsure how to repartition system to gain back the saved space. Can this be done by noobs? I guess I am concerned that there is a "better" version of this ROM, with these user apps *put where they belong*, in the data space; but that this version of the ROM is only available to a select few who know to repartition the system. Or again, I am wrong? Cheers! I think you've got it a little confused somewhere along the line, the repartition needs to be done before or during the flashing of the rom (it is known as tpt and is very easy to do indeed), and it will essentially reduce the amount of space needed by the system partition by trimming market downloadable or non essential apps. As a result the data partition can then be increased allowing more user installable app space. Sure you could use a program such as titanium backup to move or remove system apps right now, but you wouldn't notice any more room for user installable apps as the space gained would still be reserved on the system partition. As for link 2 sd, that's just an alternative to apps2sd, both of which I personally do not like using as it is slower than just using the internal memory and I'm not a fan of partitioning memory cards as it is (what with all the messing around reformatting it to ext etc). I believe tillaz is in the process of making a version to fit on a 150-160mb partitioned system, which I imagine will be released after testing (I may be wrong though so don't quote me on that!). I hope this information helps clear things up somewhat.
Guest Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 needs init.d support in the kernel so you can run custom scripts at bootup im not very good with kernels but will try & have this in the next version Ah thats why I cant get supercharger script to run.

I hope this information helps clear things up somewhat. Thanks for the info! So every custom ROM should have as a first step: "this ROM requires system partition size X" & ideally a link to instructions on how to repartition; otherwise noobs like me are essentially putting a round peg in a square hole, by installing custom ROMs into the orange/ZTE default system partition, and possibly wasting a deal of precious data space. However, this method still does not allow me to move stuff that does not belong in system (ie maps) back into data. Now that I have deleted maps from system, I have a hole in system that cannot be used, on top of the hole that was already there if the ROM was smaller than the default partition size. So there is no way to add stuff to the system partition, after installing a ROM? Is the Atomic ROM much different in size to the stock system space? I am struggling to find an app that can view system storge adequately; Lots of sd & data storage viewers, but nothing comprehensive. Strange, your experience with linking to SD is different to mine. Links2SD seems to use 2 methods of linking; native move to SD & symbolic linking. My App2sd only allowed for native moving, so had a large number of "phone only" apps, all of which I have moved using Links2SD symbolic linking. And I struggle to detect any performance drop when using linked apps, but then I still think my phone is akin to magic anyway, so I am not a discerning user :-)

So there is no way to add stuff to the system partition, after installing a ROM? Only if the custom ROM requires a different partition should it say that, and even then it will probably be a TPT style ROM so it will do it automatically anyway. And you certainly can move apps from system to data and vice-versa, no matter what ROM you are using or what device (regardless of install method; all you need is root access). To do so you need an app such as Titanium Backup Pro (free version won't do it) which has a specific feature dedicated to moving apps to and from said partitions. Is the Atomic ROM much different in size to the stock system space? I am struggling to find an app that can view system storge adequately; Lots of sd & data storage viewers, but nothing comprehensive. Yes, Atomic 2.0 has about 45mb free on system after flashing, once again it is the app Titanium Backup that shows me this information (seriously get it, it's essential for ROM flashers :P). Strange, your experience with linking to SD is different to mine. Links2SD seems to use 2 methods of linking; native move to SD & symbolic linking.

And I struggle to detect any performance drop when using linked apps, but then I still think my phone is akin to magic anyway, so I am not a discerning user :-) If it works fine for you then that's great, I just don't welcome the problems those apps bring when it comes to mounting USB storage etc.

Looks like I am upgrading my Titanium :-) Hadn't realised the pro version allowed all that, otherwise I would already have it! Just one thing... is 'stuffing' system until full a good idea? Or does it need some headroom?
Guest 1immortal Posted December 20, 2011 Report Posted December 20, 2011 hmmm ... the RTL addon gives me the green android and thats it. waited for some 20 minutes, pulled the battery out, still nothing. help ?

Or does it need some headroom? Good choice, you won't regret the cost it really is a great app! And as for "stuffing" the system partition, I suppose technically its ok as any data or settings related to system apps are still stored on the data partition. As a general rule though I try to leave about 8-10mb free on /system just in case, and I've not had an issue yet.

Where did you get the clockworkmod,is it the blue version? Assuming you have done all the wipes etc and the rom you downloaded is not corrupt ? Have you change partitions with tpt?

Have you change partitions with tpt? jikobutsu The CWM I'm using all blue interface v4.0.1.4, I am using atomic v1.6 I updated to v.2.0 in CWM doing "install zip from sdcard">"choose zip from sdcard">"atOmIc-v2.0.zip" the install take less than 5 second seem not installed nothing. Once installed i reboot the phone and it just get stuck on the Green man No not done no TPT as don't know how to do it...
