[MOD] {ARC} Raise Arc's userdata to 420mb from 380mb - Xperia Arc Android Development

Warning: This will erase your userdata partition. It is HIGHLY recommended to do a nandroid backup with CWM "BEFORE" performing this procedure
TUTORIAL:
Follow this method to make your userdata partittion to 420mb
1. Reboot your phone into CWM
2. Move to "Backup and Restore",then select "Backup"
3. When backup done, power off
4. unzip and flash the attached ftf file with flashtool.
5. Go into CWM again, select "Backup and Restore" then "Advanced restore", select your last backup then "restore data"
6. Enjoy your extra space
7. To reverse this process just flash the original ftf of your choice (42, 58, 62) and your userdata will return to its original state!
This mod is useless to those who have the "Arc S Lt18i" or have flashed a rom made specifically for Arc S (ICS Beta rom) as this is where this mod came from.
It is however very useful for us "Arc Lt15i" users cause we gain an extra 40mb to store apps on internal memory
I have been using this for a couple weeks now and have suffered no ill/negative effect. That said, it is at your own risk and I claim no responsibility if you turn your beloved Arc into a useless paperweight!
If I have left anything out feel free to pm me

I am on the ICS beta and have 420MB space - maybe it uses the same trick.

Yep thats because it is using the ARC S userdata partition

So, with only bringing back Nand backup will not change this rise of userdata space? And what will happen if I just flash new ROM? It will stay unchanged? I will still have 420mb?
Now I looked and I alredy have 420mb... Hmm...
Thanks for this...

restoring your nandroid backup and changing to any rom will not effect your new space of 420mb.
It will only revert if you flash an original SE firmware (ftf file)
Peace!

very interesting...
so if i understand this correctly, u have basically found a correct combination of files which makes the bootloader resize the cache and userdata partitions right?

great, flashed and now 420mb. seems to be running ok. many thanks.

I confirm its work on my Arc 380 > 420 mb.

ok so for someone how is using this/has flashed this can u do some testing for me?
ONLY FOR ARC (LT15 users)
download the .42/.58/.62 FW and flash only the userdata & cache partitions, exclude all other partitions (checkboxes in latest FlashTool)... do this for using both ARC (LT15) & ARC S (LT18) specific firmware...
and then report how the data partition size is...
thanks!

That was a good mod but Truely 420mb is more than enough as most applications can me moved to SD card in App manager ... Unless u are app Lover and isntall more than 100 apps then AD2SDX is good for

Isn't SE been telling that Arc S and Arc have different partition tables and we shouldn't cross flash them due to this? and recently lot of Arc users had flashed ICS Beta directly on their Arc and never had any known issues with Filesystem!
I don't know what that proves... may be after all, it's just the CPU difference rather than anything more!

hi
ihave use this mod in arc s - a.0.62 - doom kernel v19
but no any change in internal memory ( before 311 - after 311 )

[TUT] Resizing phone partitons

see attachment in this post for partition layout
first off all you need to setup NVFLASH their is a great tutorial on modaco how to set it up http://android.modaco.com/topic/335416-nvflash-setup-instructions-drivers-links-active/
and you will need a NVFLASH rom every rom will work so just grab one i used this one http://android.modaco.com/topic/335474-25-mar-nvflash-stock-rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15032011/
If you did setup NVFLASH and you download the rom you can continue
open the folder where you extract the ROM
you will see a couple of files make a backup of this file "android_fastboot_emmc_full.cfg"
just copy it over to your desktop or wherever you want
open up the "android_fastboot_emmc_full.cfg" file with a IMPORTANT linux new line editor (my advise is to use notepad++(WARNING do not ever use Windows Notepad))
this are the partitons we can change
OLD BOOTLOADER
ID - 6, Name: APP, /system
ID - 7, Name: CAC, /cache
ID - 14, Name: SOS, Recovery
ID - 16, Name: UDA, /data
ID - 18, Name: UDB, Internal SD
NEW BOOTLOADER
ID - 23, Name: APP, /system
ID - 7, Name: CAC, /cache
ID - 15, Name: SOS, Recovery
ID - 17, Name: UDA, /data
ID - 21, Name: UDB, Internal SD
Three important notes
1. UDB the internal SD has this size " UDB has size: size=0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" this means all the remaining space
2. UDA the data cannot be larger then 2GB otherwise it will break ClockWorkMod Recovery
3. this one is obvious but just to be sure i will just put it here the size must be multiples of 2048
i use this sizes
/system (512 MB): size=536870912
/cache (1 GB): size=1073741824
/data (1.85 GB): size=1986420736
Recovery (50 MB): size=52428800
1GB cache is a bit overkill but i do not put the dalvik-cache on the data partition but on the cache partition so it is quite usefull
you can change these values to whatever you want
be sure you NANDROID your current rom because nvflash will delete everything
It will also delete ClockWorkMod recovery and put stock recovery on the recovery partition
but if you want NVFLASH to flash ClockWorkMod Recovery
you can download it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098745
rename the recovery image you want to "recovery.img" and overwrite the old recovery.img in the NVFLASH ROM folder
now just flash the NVFLASH the ROM and you got your resized partitions!
be careful and enjoy!
thanks to mankian
I didn't know that NVflash is so powerful. Thanks Owain94! Btw, you're very first hyperlink has 2 "http"s in it.

NVFLASH recreates all the partitions when flashing for a super clean flash
so resizing is a piece of cake

Speaking of super clean flashes. Any idea if Smartflash does the same thing? (i.e. when performing a stock rom install.)

yes, smartflash cleans all the partition of your internal partition. but smartflash can't rebuild the partition like nvflash does.

First thing, the process reformat your internal SDcard, take care of your data before !!
Just a detail, after nvflash process is over the phone will reboot and an update screen like during Smartflash will appear to finish updates.
Taking recovery file from Rusty (see in stickies, take the external one and rename it to recovery.img like said in op) you will have directly your recovery flashed to restore backup.
Thanks !!
I did't know that NVFLASH can resize partiotions in so simple way but anyway, ill stick with classic method becouse i really like having big data (like 2,5GB).
Just btw. i wanted to ask... Why does /dev partition has 210MB? I always have only 32KB used on that. It looks like waste of space for me.
you can find a guide and prebuild files for partitioning in my mediafirefolder since a long time ...

you can set (increase) the partition sizes of the internal sd.
look at my screenshot, bigger sizes (more space for data (=apps), system , ...)

Thanks for the rom
How about wifi in this rom? Is it stable?
I'm now on xxlq2 and although sometimes it works okay, the wifi easily got disconnected and the signal reception is really poor.. Maybe this rom is the solution?
Oh, and one thing, is it safe to flash this rom over xxlq2? I see my country use the same version with your rom so i hope flashing this that will bring the warranty back
Hi, NOD32 warns "Android / Adware" in this ROM. Is it a false alarm?

I think you should tell in op that this rom will wipe all data include internal sdcard before someone may loss their important data.

Not sure if intended, but when it says it wiped everything, I didn't thought it would wipe out everything in /sdcard as well. I would have died if my Titanium backup wasn't in external sd.
Oh yes, the rom also self reboots when flashed, so don't be alarmed if you are used to rebooting yourself.
Oh well...now I suddenly have 12gb free!

Trust me, if my backup wasn't on external sd, I wouldn't be speaking so kindly to you.
And we have an extremely picky bunch of people here, if you know what I mean.
Honestly, if you have an update to this, I would recommend at the very least removing that reboot on finish command.

Btw can you list all the improvement things you stuffed in your rom? I see there's etc. there, i think it will great to see all the improvement list, and much better if you screenshot things like benchmark result I wonder if you stuffed things like audio enhancement too :laugh:
Thanks ParotZ :good:
Nice kid you have
I installed your ROM + Dedrak kernel + Aroma tweaks, in took a while to get rid of systemUI FCs, but now everything I use seems to be working fine
A couple of sugestions if you dont mind:
1- It would be great to start in english, most people understands, easier to change to our own language.
2- Please dont wipe in your next versions, it is a pain to do all again, even Titanium backups are wiped...
Thanks again
Singha ROM + Aroma Pimp My ROM 1.2 Full + Nova launcher = seamless, JB-like, smooth and extremely fast performance. I am very impressed. Very. You'll notice the difference, whether you come from Zeta, CM9 or CM10.

Please Report any bug and maybe my poor knowledge can be helpful
This is my first port ever so any advice, feedback is appreciated.
I'm not a developer, I just want to learn and I found that doing this port was not too difficult. So if anyone feels like helping me out learn about porting, etc then feel free to contact me.
I decided to open this thread for better support and faster feedback as I'm planing to keep it as up to date, bug free as my skills and time permit.
Well the official website for the rom is LewaOS
Credit: Thanks to the CM team since I'm using their roms as a base, and to whoever else credit is due.

I installed this ROM and it is very fast.
but I have to check battery life because CM 7.2 has battery issues.

Do Call Pictures work?
Most GB with S Themed ROM's ive seen is that it can only put up contact picture at its full size to a max of 1 contact.
Can you please try this thing out?
I mean the call pictures should be full screen and not just a tiny square in the middle. That's what happens when I assign pictures to my usual 15-20 contacts
If it does work, I'm definitely using this one then!

I'ts 2.3.4 on Arc/S GB, but on Xperia S, GB version is 2.3.7. And most GB roms have Xperia S systemUI and apps, so, it's ok to name it 2.3.7.

I think that it's just DRM, but if you install latest track ID by sony, it will work. (in fact, they released a newer TrackID version just because they knew that their own bootloader unlocking method would kill DRM and trackID)

[ info ]
Hello friends,
so after the sneak peak, i present to you leaked Sony 4.4.2 KitKat Firmware 10.5.A.0.227 for the Xperia Z (C6602/C6603)...
this firmware was ment for developer (brown) devices but i was able to get it to boot on production devices...
THIS IS FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS ONLY!
[ NOTICE ]
PLEASE TAKE A BACKUP ON EXTERNAL SDCARD BEFORE TESTING THIS ROM!!!
since this is an internal testing firmware, do not expect to see the same features on the official final release... some things could be added while others removed...
the firmware is still very laggy, i am sure the final release will be much better!
[ screenshots ]
most screenshots are posted here ​
[ WARNING ]
PLEASE DO NOT CROSSFLASH THIS ROM+KERNEL... this is ment only for C6602/C6603 (Xperia Z)... please do not flash it on ZL/Tablet Z/etc....
THIS IS AN LEAKED ROM AND NOT THE FINAL RELEASE VERSION
FEW THINGS ARE EXPECTED NOT TO WORK
THIS IS POSTED JUST SO THAT USERS CAN ENJOY THE UPCOMING FEATURES AND OTHER DEVS CAN HELP IN FIXING THE ISSUES
MORE THINGS WILL FOLLOW AS AND WHEN I/OTHERS CAN GET THEM TO WORK
DO NOT ASK FOR FURTHER UPDATES/ETA OF OFFICIAL RELEASE
please backup all data, including internal SDCARD data before flashing this ROM
[ why has this been posted? ]
DooMLoRD said:
many devs can use the libs to improve existing/work-in-progress ROMs...
many themers can start porting to ROMs/devices...
many users will get a feel of whats in store for the JB update...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
[ features ]
Easy to flash update.zip via recovery
Prerooted and busybox installed
working CWM recovery is included in kernel
[ To enter recovery keep pressing VOLUME UP button AFTER u see the "PINK" LED at bootup (Sony logo) ]
usb debugging enabled
[ whats not working? ]
you tell me!
please report other things as and when you find them
[ requirements ]
unlocked bootloader
previously on stock .101 JB (4.3) ROM or roms based on that [since some components of THIS rom contain files from those firmwares]
supplied ROM
any existing kernel with recovery
OR
just extract the boot.img (contains inbuilt recovery) from the ROM i have uploaded and flash it using fastboot
[ how to install ]
download the ROM and save it on SDCARD
reboot device into recovery
flash the ROMs update.zip (this will take some time)
I RECOMMEND THAT YOU WIPE /cache WHILE IN RECOVERY!
thats it now reboot device
at first boot device the NFC firmware will get updated wait for process to be completed
after a few reboots the ROM should stabilize!
enjoy!
[ hot tip to reduce LAG!!! ]
Go to Developer Optioms in Settings menu (if this option isnot visible go to About Phone and keep tapping ~7 times on the Build Number, this will unlock Developer Options)
Disable all animations and select Force GPU render (check attached screenshot for reference)
Restart phone
The interface will become a lot smoother now!
Thanks to all those who sent this tip!!

I know this is selly but what will happen If I try it on a locked bootloader?
The universe as we know it will cease to exist. Or you could brick your device. Both very bad.

You will soft brick your device. The custom kernel needs an unlocked bootloader.

Any idea if/when T-mobile USA will get this update? Thanks.
Has anyone flashed the rom yet? and how is it for the first boot?

Thanks for this, hope you don't mind, I've created an update for those who want to convert it to deodexed:
Download
MD5: 53b2239c9db9ea5a80cc2464343d5738
Just flash via recovery, no issues so far from what little testing I have done
Please don't mirror this as this will ONLY work on DooMLoRD's release.

Thx a lot ! so Screenshots and Pictures made on the internal SD card are(might be!) safe. thx.
P.S Backup of current ROM is for *******! Google Backup saves the Contacts, and all eles is unimportant xD
little warning guys: You must do a full wipe if you planning to go back to 4.3 ROMs So do backups before flashing this
Quick Feedback on ROM:
As DoomLords mentioned it's bit laggy specially when you pulling down status bar drop down menu.
Nothing really special compares to custom ROM such as eXistenZ which already implemented most of the UI changes. But if you coming from a stock ROM you will notice the changes.
Camera quality in superio auto in low light still looks the same.
Oh the joy of having an unlocked bootloader
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
is this laggy as hell like when playing an online game with ping = 2000 ms
or it can be lived with ?
Running this right now on my Xperia Z UK Generic with no problems apart from a bit of flickering just before the 'Xperia' logo on boot. The rom itself seems to run smoothly! It has working 4.4 transparency on Nova Launcher which did not work on 4.3 but did on 4.2 and many other 4.3 bugs have been patched...its looking really promising
Thank you for this demo version @DooMLoRD I can't wait for release
