you don't have cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image why? as long as it hasn't started to actually flash anything you should be fine yanking the battery

I'm not sure what you mean about not having the cyanogen recovery image, i do
this is the 2nd time I had the phone freeze up and you have come to the rescue both times. thats 2 beers i owe you lol
how about yuengling?
Pulled the batt, renamed the zip file
going to reflash the rom again thanks again

what do you mean renaming lol and thanks for the beer but im 19 so newports it is lol thanks a lot man

ahh, i thought what locked it up was the fact i forgot to change the filename to update.zip
even though i thought it should look for any zip
so now that all seems well i can just reboot my phone and reflash the rom just like the first time i flashed it correct?
move to root of SD and reboot to recovery?
just 19 huh? you just made me feel old, I'm 31 lol

Not at all, that's what I've used every time...but i have fat thumbs and a quirky trackball.. I'm not sure but i think i may have rolled it to the other option.
doesn't seem to matter now

yup, thats the one
in fact ive started to use ALT A because the trackball is a pain
I just wish you could use enter on the keypad to select the file rather than the trackball again
because it always double clicks and thats when i should hit home to confirm, yet it backs me out because its "any key"
so anyway the rom has been reflashed
and i see the other partion under the storage menu under settings but it shows up as only 61mb free internal phone storage

do you have the hard spl or the danger spl? also don't forget that cache still stays on internal memory so if you want that number to go up clear your browser cache
like right now my browser cache is 6.19mb's

hard SPL,

i meant did you previously have the partitions or did you just make them? cyanogen's rom will do it automatically for you if you have the correct partitioning setup which is fat32-ext2/3/4-linux-swap(optional).
and about the sig. it lets people know about ninjas(at least in my case)

Ninjas > pirates
as far as the partion yes, i just did the partion on my 8g sd card
all went well till the snafu flashing the rom again
now its flashed, but everything seems the same

Looks good - to be honest there's a lot of functionality Eden just doesn't provide now that even stock android does - panel view is handy for the few apps it works on, but for now isn't enough of a benefit, especially since widget functionality just isn't there.
I'll give it a whirl on my PiQi Adam when I have a chance (probably towards the end of the week). Has anyone else had success with this rom or feedback regarding it?
E: Nm, followed the link over to nihacks. Thanks again.

We've had a few test it in IRC. It moves away from Eden, so its definitely aimed at people that aren't the biggest fans of it.
THANK YOU!
Finally. I think for the first time I'll actually be able to put my Adam to use. Previously it sat in a sleeve unused. It was so worthless with Eden on it. This will make a huge difference.
Quick question:
Has anyone ever been able to get their GPS to work? Google Maps always says location temporarily unavailable. I'm starting to think I have a defective GPS.
Regardless of what ROM I use, GPS never works. Any ideas? PS: Yes location using GPS is enabled in settings.
Just saw Albert Wertz's video of this rom. Real nice work. I'm due to recieve my Adam next week. Will be a willing tester. Do you think there is any chance cellular phone calling can be activiated on this device? I know it has the Ericson F3307 module for 3g, but do not know if it supports voice.
Thanks for your efforts!!!

I think there have been people wanting this feature, but would be a separate project that would apply to all Adam ROMs. I am unaware if anyone is really persuing it, and I can't because I don't use the cell radio on my tablets.
I do hope to push a new version out maybe tonight or tomorrow with the Eden apps included, but without the Eden launcher. So this would give everyone the benefit of the Adam apps without having to use the panel system.
Awesome.....From what I've seen {Without having the tablet yet} I'm not too excited about the Eden launcher, but some of the apps would be very cool.
A huge thank you!! Do you accept any donations?

someone on notion hacks who is on this rom reported no issues so maybe we need to wipe dalvik or possibly reflash?
or maybe an update since there is starting to be a a fan base building for this rom!
Can I just cleanup the dalvik with titanium backup or will I have to flash to clockwork to do it? First time I flashed clockwork I got stuck in a boot loop so I flashed from the internal with the notion stock recovery to update the rom.

When you got stuck in the boot loop, did you try wiping the cache in ClockworkMod? Wiping the cache from CWM seems to fix the bootloop issue for a number of people with the same issue on CWM (+this ROM).
I ended up reloading the entire adam at that point from the NI image and then used the internal flash to flash the ROM to Utopia. I have determined another problem that might not be caused by the ROM though now. I have a second sdcard showing up now with a bunch of jibberish letters and a lostdir folder. My adams internal storage only shows as having 1.95 gb total. Either my flash card is bad or i didn't get a good clean load of the ROM in the beginning. ( Never checked this before I noticed the HDMI issue.) My fix is going to be a complete reflash of the adam and reflash the entire ROM and a reformated sdcard. I also ordered a new (class 10) external sdcard just in case. Has anyone else ran into a internal flash problem so far? I don't know of a method to test my internal flash so I'm gonna just reflash the entire system back to stock and restart from there.

Yes I remember I had some strange SDcard issues and saw the lost dir in mine as well. It was having issues copying and pasting but this was only on the roms that had sniffer.(for me atleast)
did you end up getting hdmi to work?
I ended up wiping my dalvik cache via the recovery menu and the HDMI out still doesnt display on the screen. It does run a bit faster after an extended reboot though.

The problem you are defining has to do with the vold that is in the ROM and stock eden ROM. EdenX uses an alternative one, but that brings other issues.
If using linux, you will get two partitions mounted. One 2GB one, which is /data, and one 6GB one, which is /sdcard. If this problem occurs, anything you copy to your sdcard will be corrupted.

[BOOTANIMATION] Honeycomb Boot + [APP] Honeycomb Pandora Widget

Pulled this straight out of the motorola xoom system dump (that is now gone from xda it seems) and sized for our screens. Works great on my screen. Drop the bootanimation.zip into /system/media or /data/local and it should work on any 800x480 screen. Use the honeycomb-boot.zip to flash with CWM.

I actually specifically chose not to do this even though the images are in "portrait" orientation because it more matches how it would look on the xoom (since you're more likely to hold that in portrait mode, I feel).
With yours it looks like it's falling from right to left, mine/xoom is top to bottom. Thanks for the alternative but all it does is make me want to turn my phone into portrait mode when booting
The image just seemed squished on my end, anyhoo choice is always good.
CWM zip works great, thanks!
I suddenly find myself rebooting my phone for no reason... o.0
That is one cool ass boot ani...

Hmm... After adding it in there and flashing it to the phone... I actually prefer the alternative with the image rotated.
It does appear to be going at an angle from left to right but I still think it's just as pimp as the original and it looks a bit more uniform and not so stretched...
Either way, me likey! Thanks brotha!
Could you advise a rookie? Do I need a custom ROM for this, or can I change it on the STOCK ROM?
I Am rooted and through Linda Manager can see System/Media and bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg
advice?
Thanks
You'll want to use an application called ROM Manager. (tis the easiest way)
It can be downloaded from the Market. Search for it, download it...
Since you're device is rooted you will not have to do that part but ROM Manager requires root access so you're good to go there.
Next step is to open up the ROM Manager app.
Tap "FLASH CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY"...
Tap "Allow" when superuser prompts...
Next you will want to make sure you have placed the Honeycomb-Boot.zip on your device via USB Mass Media mode. Copy/Paste it right into the device drive.
Release/Eject the device from Windows.
Turn off USB Storage access on your device.
Disconnect the USB cable.
Now open up ROM Manager again.
Tap on "Reboot into Recovery"...
Once the device reboots, if you find yourself at a screen that is in BLUE text (Recovery), you must use the Volume Down key to navigate to "Reinstall Packages", click the power button to select. You may have to do this once or twice. But once it works your device will reboot into a screen with GREEN text (ClockWorkMod).
Once you are in CWM, use the Volume keys to navigate to "Install .zip from SD card"... You will have to kind of navigate around and find where you placed the Honeycomb-Boot.zip file.
Navigate past the crazy amount of No's and click Yes - Install...
Navigate with the volume buttons to "Go Back"...
Navigate to "Reboot" the device...
That should do it.

you will need a custom ROM (or at least kernel) that supports AOSP bootanimation.zip format. by default, the samsung kernels play the above bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg, but almost any available custom kernel will support the bootanimation.zip support.
All it needs is sound. Something to do with pulsating energy.
So I tried this and it didnt work. I get an error saying:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Any suggestions?
That's what I get when I flash from CW sometimes, but it still takes for me. Did you try rebooting and seeing if it was actually there?

[MOD] [GUIDE] [250214] Pit Files for creating a larger partition for app data

Update #2 (25th February 2014) - 6gb and 8gb variants now available for i9100G users, sorry for the delay!
Are you bored of having to move apps to SD?
Bored of facing a stock issue of not even being able to move apps to your internal SD?
Then re-partitioning is the option for you, you may choose between a 1gb, 3gb, 4gb, 6gb and 8gb app partition (stock partition is just 2gb), please remember that the internal SD partition reduces in size accordingly.
There is a pit for everyone:
3-8GB Pit Files - For users with plenty of apps, who are bored of moving items to SD, not to mention curing the issue of not having enough space on the app partition to peform app updates, with these pits, this is a thing of the past! This is the package most people will want!
1GB & 2GB (Stock) Pit Files - For users with VERY few apps who want more internal storage space for photos/videos/files etc.
Please ask on this forum if you are not too sure which size pit suits your usage!
GUIDE
The usual rules apply, You will:
Lose all data on your phone, therefore backup anything essential including both internal and external memory and any settings or configuration, i.e. you are starting from fresh! You are warned, this will be like coming home with a new phone, except a hell of a lot more useful now we can control this essential element!
You know this already because your an XDA user
So what do you have to do? Read on for my guide:
1) Run Odin 1.85, put your phone in to download mode (vol down/home/power button) and connect to PC via USB
2) Tick re-partition box
3) Click PIT button and select the pit file of your desired app partition size.
4a) Click PDA and select your stock official samsung jellybean rom - Edit- please remember if you use a rom that is not native to your region, it would be wise to flash the appropriate radio modem afterwards to ensure you get the signal strength you'd expect
4b) OR Flash your persnonal choice of kernel in *.tar format and pit file, reboot to CWM ( power button/vol up/home button) and install new rom or restore nandroid and boot as normal and skip to number 9 in this guide
5) Flash and wait for reboot
6) Let the phone reboot and wait until the android chap finishes his spinny wire ball belly animation and then remove the battery and do a factory reset using the usual power/vol up/ home trick.
7) Let it boot so you can check that you are happy with the result. ( I didn't, but you might want to)
8) Now flash your chosen rooted kernel and either stick with stock rom or enter CWM and flash your own custom rom.
9) When your phone boots, you may get a notification to format usb storage, so yes if prompted! If not then please follow Dorimanx's advice of fixing the partition format by:
dorimanx said:
connect to pc, go to recovery, wait 15sec, then open my computer (windows) see the sd drives, one will be broken, when you try to open, windowser will ask to format, do it. and be happy.

Click to collapse
@dorimanx - Thank you :good:
10) Remember that Android likes automatically deciding where apps go, so sometime it tries to put stuff to SD itself (app requests it), it is worthwhile checking your installed apps to makes sure they went to internal app partition, you can tell this by either:
a) Look in Titanium back up, go to the move/integrate section and see if any apps show as moveable from SD to internal, if so run the batch process to put them on your nice new app partition, otherwise you may have issues running those apps.
b) If you don't have Titanium (why not?) then check the harder way by looking at app manager and swipe to the right to look at SD app, sort by size and then individually move ones back to internal storage.
11) That easy! Here is a shot of my resulting app manager
Files attached to post including original pit in case you want it back to stock values!
Enjoy!
Yes!! Will be much obliged

Dear I9100G users!
I am looking to provide pit files for controlling the ratio of your 16gb internal storage, to provide options for you to enjoy larger app storage, just like I have done on the standard i9100 model.
I offer app storage pit files to cater from 1GB all the way to 12gb.
My thread for the i9100 is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47746656#post47746656
If anyone is interested in testing my initial pit file (i do not own a G model) and are happy and experienced enough to deal with any side affects, then please send me a PM along with what size would like your app partition to be and I will respond with 24 hours with a file to test.
Of course I can't take responsibility for side effects, so please only serious users only, please read my i9100 thread to check you understand what is involved and that you are confident in assisting.
Once I have confirmation that I have the files created properly, I will update this thread for all users to public download.

I do have one question.
Will it preserve all other partitions intact and does the required changes to internal and SD storage? I mean like, EFS partition must be preserved.
Dang. You were first
I suspect that repartition affects the ratio between /data and /sdcard partitions. If efs is affected its very risky. I would like to know that too. Even though I would not do that to my device just right now.

Removed as data no longer valid
metalgearhathaway said:
Only the ratio of memory allocated to app storage (data_img) and internal SD (UMS) are affected, all other partitions are definitely un-modified.
I have a 3GB test version prepared and attached to this post.
I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH THAT AT THIS EARLY STAGE YOU ARE TAKING THE RISK BY TRYING, IF IT WORKS THEN GREAT! IT SHOULD WORK FINE, BUT NEVER SAY NEVER! i HAVE ALSO ATTACHED THE STOCK PIT FILE SHOULD YOU NEED TO REVERT. PLEASE FOLLOW THE FLASHING GUIDE SHOWN ON MY I9100 THREAD FOR INSTRUCTIONS.

How bad can it get? Now lets say I theoretically messed up all the partitions including efs completely. Could it get so bad that I could hardbrick the device (not even possible to get it working through odin) or could I just flash a stock ROM and after that try to get CWM on it and restore an old backup including my efs partition?
You should provide more Infos on how to recover in the worst case... And btw. thanks a lot for your efforts!

Nope, as the OP says, I am testing here and that's why I am offering disclaimers, realistically, I am looking for a developer to look at it, as they will understand more about getting themselves out of trouble. Absolutely no offence intended of course!
However, recovering from an issue, which there shouldn't be any, is to follow the flashing procedure I have detailed above using the stock pit file I have attached to my beta test post.

Don't be offended
I'm actually very thankful that you offer this possibility to us.
But even a tester should be aware of how to fix things in the worst case. This is what I was asking for.
If you cannot or do not want to provide this information at the moment its ok, but it would be like the cherry on top of the cream
Oh... edit again ... I was talking about if it could hard brick the device and if not then am I right with my assumption of how to get it back running...? thats what I meant with information...

Looking at other information, should the wrong pit information be entered it should be recoverable performing the action I describe in my last post. This would suit someone with a spare handset and/or a gun-ho attidude! LOL
I wish I had one to verify myself, on the i9100 thread I was able to post after taking all risks on my own phone, everything went perfectly to plan!

No problem, as I say I am looking for just one magical person who is willing and able to be the the big man/woman
I was lucky for i9100, I had a spare i9100 to fall back on should anything had gone wrong
I have had 32gb user come to me after tying the 16gb version of the pit file, please all 32gb users if you are going to try this at your own risk, please use the 32gb version of the pit file :good:
maybe also interesting... repartitioning can be achieved through adb it seems. Have a look here

I've tested the pit file and can confirm that it's working. I've got a 3GB data partition now and so far has not encountered any issues. Thank you very much to metalgearhathaway.

Thanks a lot. Now we can be without sorrows that ART cache will explode our data partition since it lives there in several kk roms now.

Really pleased to get reports back that all is fine
So I can now confirm this as working for i9100g 16gb model
Anyone tried on their 32gb model?
Thanks to all testers, feel free to ask for different size pit files of you like and I will oblige :thumbup:

Could you provide a 4-GB-internal and 9-Gb-sd_storage .pit file, for a 16-GB I9100G model.
And much thanks to you, for this awesome post.
Of course, expect it later on tonight after my little boy is asleep

Hey metalgearhathaway I appreciate your efforts in i9100g and thank you for your time. In fact I was going to use the files you had posted in i9100 forum to repartition my device but now since you have posted specifically for my device may I request for 1gb apps partition.

I did something extremely dumb!!!

Hopefully there is a way to fix it...
I recently installed M and I attmpted to root it but got the root partially somehow-I was able to install busybox and delete app from the system folder, however I did not have rights to write to the system folder for some reason-I was attempting to edit build.prop to hide the navigation bar and I deleted the Build.Prop in error. I have a back up of it on my phone but I am unable to push it back to the system folder.
I am afraid to reboot and try factory reset since I am at work and I cannot connect my phone to the PC here...I hope I haven't screwed it permanently.
Any help is much appreciated....
Yeah, don't reboot.
You'll need to download a rom and flash it, or a working build.prop.

permanently, no. stupid, yes. you wont ever boot up without a build.prop btw. if you have it backed up on your phone, just use a root file explorer and copy/paste it back(you might need to set your SElinux to be permissive). if you reboot, youre going to have to reflash your rom. if youre stock, youll be flashing a factory image.

I have my build.prop I saved in the downloads folder. I was able to push it back to system with total commander-it worked and it's now back there and it even has the line to disable the software keys. I have to reboot to test it though. I have set the permissions as -rw-r--r-- is that correct?

Camera Mod (UNLIMITED RECORDING (45 min 4k)) - Updated SEP 20

MUST BE ROOTED
CHANGELOG
PH3 IS FOR PH3 FIRMWARE
V1-PH3 (Aug 25)
Allows for recording up until you run out of space instead of putting a time limit on everything
PH9 IS FOR PH9 FIRMWARE
V1-PH9 (SEP 20)
Allows for recording up until you run out of space instead of putting a time limit on everything
V2 (Sep 20 TEST!!!)WARNING
This is a test, I have used it without any issue but I want to make sure others don't have any issues.
Timelapse set to 1920x1080
SlowMo set to 178mbps.
V3(Sep 20 10:26PM)
Filenames now set to yyyy.MM.dd_kk.mm.ss (DATESWAP1)
Filenames now set to MM.dd.yyyy_kk.mm.ss (DATESWAP2)
Filenames now set to MMddyyyy_kkmmss (DATESWAP3)
V3.1(Sep 22 5:04PM)
Filenames now set to yyyy.MM.dd_kk.mm.ss (D1)
Filenames now set to MM.dd.yyyy_kk.mm.ss (D2)
Filenames now set to MMddyyyy_kkmmss (D3)
2 Different scenarios
1. You will have a folder named oat and a file named SamsungCamera6.apk under /system/priv-app/SamsungCamera6 in that case backup the entire folder system/priv-app/samsungcamera6 to your sdcard , delete the apk and folder from /system/priv-app/SamsungCamera6, then copy the modified apk over to system/priv-app/Samsungcamera6/ renaming it to SamsungCamera6.apk
2. You will have a file named SamsungCamera6.apk under /system/priv-app/SamsungCamera6 in that case backup the apk to your sdcard , delete the apk from /system/priv-app/SamsungCamera6, then copy the modified apk over to system/priv-app/Samsungcamera6/ renaming it to SamsungCamera6.apk
Download at bottom of this post
(Name scheme is as stated)
D#-This is date swaped around
H#-This is the bitrate of Hyperlapse
S#-This stands for all slowmotion bitrate
After that set the permissions (id recommend checking the original apks permissions before u delete it)
Reboot, (see if the app even shows up), then try recording 4k, it's around 21 minute record time with stock internal storage, with the 256GB sdcard it should be much more

Just woke up. 3 minutes into the 10. Will report back in 7 minutes!
EDIT: I can confirm from testing it 2x that it does in fact still cut off at the 10minute mark. I'm going to wipe cache and try again in a bit

Go ahead and redownload the new link. It's now working.
It is still limited to 10 minutes for me. Even after deleting the folder, remaking it and placing the downloaded file in, wiping cache and rebooting

This one is doing that?
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_OscqsqMY0vcDRDSXlva3o1NU0
Doenload that link and see if it works. If it doesn't do the following:
1. Delete the samsungcamera folder under priv-app
2. Create a folder named SamsungCamera6 under system/app/
3. Copy that SamsungCamera6.apk i linked in this comment
4. Set permissions
5. Go into applications and clear data under camera
Now with a empty phone and no sdcard u should have around 20 min record time
Let me know if this works because it seems to be working for me (see photo below)
Still isnt working for me. Even after new folder, wip cache and camera data etc. When i get home from work ill try again

have u tried clearing dalvik?
also check the md5, it should be 0b1dbddedf494f0e2e773a18fe40f902
What's the easy way to do that without recovery and from the device? Otherwise ill have to do that when i get home and adb.

I had this problem the other day after a reboot but clearing dalvik cache (delete everything in the data/dalvik/ folder) brought it back. I think because i signed the apk incorrectly. This will be fixed soon. Only thing so far is to not reboot the phone.

That may be my problem then. Force of habit to make changes and wipe things and reboot. It still hasnt worked for me. Probably the culprit!
