[SOLVED]"Not enough disk space" problem.

Ok.. so I was having issues with not being able to install apps after I did a factory reset on my phone and reinstalled v20q rebuild and a custom kernel.
Some things from the market automatically downloaded, but others failed saying "Not enough disk space".
So I attached my phone to the PC, and deleted some unimportant files (Like soutcraft demo I never used, I removed the spiderman/gameloft stuff.. and other stuff that I knew was not important. I DID NOT remove system files.
So in the end.. I had about a gig spare space on my internal SD card. BUT after rebooting it still says "not enough disk space".
So I tried to boot into CWM... but it no longer boots in. I can't install Astro as not enough disk space. how the heck can I find out what's going on?
Which partition is it referring to not enough space? (And why won't CWM work?)
If i goto settings > applications > Manage Applications > Storage > It tells me I am only using 302MB of 1.2GB .. so defo plenty. It must be a different partition?

The /system partition is probably full, not the entire internal SD-card. I ran across the same problem when I installed adaway and tried to install the hosts file. So I deleted a couple of .apk's from /system/app. Why the system partition is so small I don't know.

Might that explain why CWM isn't starting as well?

Just a quick thought: on my old phone, when this error occurred, I had to wipe cache partition. It wouldn't hurt to try - as you cannot access CWM, maybe there's a way to do this using ADB.

I've tried a factory reset. It wouldn't do the reset.
I've tried formatting the internal SD Card. It did that, but made no difference.
As you say, I am unable to get into CWM, so I would need some help with ADB if I'm to sort this :-(

I had that once too.
Did you change to EXT4 ?

Hmm.. not that I remember. I remember it saying that it was 'converting to ext3' when I put flashed "V20Q rebuild" on again, but I thought it was ext3 anyway. I'm not sure anything I have put on has ext4...
Only other thing I put on was the V20Q tweak pack, followed by spica's HP RC12 kernel (was trying it out).
Only thing I can do at present is seemingly to get in Android, and hook it up to the PC. It's useable, but without apps I'm a bit screwed, and even more screwed without access to CWM.
Can I reflash CWM perhaps?
(Side Note: I have flashed V20Q rebuild, gueste kernel, flik123's tweak pack and spica's HP kernel before without issue... I think this might be relating to the internal partition space. How the hell do I get access to it).

It's a bit of a pain that you can't get in CWM else you could try the backtoext3 tool by Paul, and reflash
I did that and it worked.
But with my problem, CWM still worked... Strange.
try reflashing CWM, and then go in CWM and format your /system and do a full wipe.
And reflash the ROM.
Try the BackToExt3 tool too (if Reflashing CWM worked):
http://android.modaco.com/topic/336...3-for-converting-your-device-er-back-to-ext3/
IT WILL WIPE YOUR DATA
BTW : Only use the backtoext3.zip mod of course if you use a EXT3 ROM
If that all dind't work try to hard reset to factory settings with NVFlash:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/335...k-rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15032011/
Flashing at your own risk of course.
Hope this helps you somewhat i'm just suggesting some things for you to try.

I would firstly try to flash CWM again using ROM Manager or (if this is not possible) manually (I think there is a thread in Development section how to do this).
Secondly, I would flash original ROM using Smartflash.

I'm unable to run that from work, so I'll give it a shot when I get home.

Restalling CWM did nothing. Still a blank screen after the 2nd LG logo (Where the CWM logo and options would normally be).
Hmm.. how can I get access to the system partition, and then how do I delete stuff? (I'm a newb at linux stuff)
In fact, interal and external CWM bat files seems to copy but doesn't work on reboot :-( ARGGHH.

Hmm.. seems I can do a 'pull' and managed to pull everything out of /system/ LOL!!!
Someone help me here.. I assume I need to delete something in /system/ (or another directory???) to make room on the partition?
As info I have been looking around and used the 'df' command to get this:
# df system

"Pulled" some files off as backups, and deleted a few apk's to try and make space on system, but CWM will still not boot.
I have tried deleting the dalvik-cache, and no difference. I've tried reinstalling CWM.. but no difference :-(
What is going on :-(
EDIT: Even after removing these APK's which must have given me at least 20mb extra.. I STILL cannot download anything else from the market. Something is wrong here. please help XDA

Have you tried the Smartflash or NVflash method
To hard reset your phone we recommended ?

Not yet. Spent all night trying to make space on the system area, but it still told me no space, and CWM wouldn't boot.
Which do you recommened I try first? Actually I will follow Rusty's post here and see what happens (with NVFlash) . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229407&highlight=smart+flash
I am not worried about the data in the slightest, only recovering the phone.

@Scougar: the df output looks a bit strange for me. I was expecting to see something like this:

Please note that I can see actual devices (partitions) how much they are filled and where they are mounted. In your output I'm missing things like e.g. cache partition.
The above output I got on adb but the same thing appeared in terminal emulator on my phone (currently WIUI).
You can also use "mount" command to see what is mounted where.

OK, I'll redo the df tonight when I get in (I can't do it from work), and see what I get. Maybe you have a different version of ADB to me ? (I am using the version as supplied by Rusty in his CWM script thread - linked to from the Q&A).
I'm trying to go through the sequence of events that lead up to this:
1) Booted into CWM (I did all the below WITHOUT rebooting until I had finished installing ZIPS - fatal flaw?)
2) Wiped dalvik cache
3) wiped data/Factory reset
4) Installed the Rebuilt V20Q ROM
5) Installed the V20Q Tweak pack (From Flix123)
6) Installed Spica's latest HP kernel (RC12 a few days ago).
I then rebooted.
None of the above I believe would have changed to ext4, only ext3 (Although I really don't understand ext versions at present). Perhaps by me doing too much at once, and not rebooting after I installed the V20Q ROM is what did it?

I'm using the latest adb downloaded from google. But this should not matter because with adb you are running commands from your phone, not from your computer, i.e. after "adb shell" you are effectively on your phone and the "df" is one of the commands on your phone. You may try "df -a" which should list all your file systems. You may also try "df --help" to see all command options. Additionally the "mount" command (without any params) should list all your mounted devices/partitions along with their filesystems, e.g. on my phone I get following:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /system type ext4 (rw,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 on /data type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /cache type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 on /lgdrm type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,data=writeback)
As you can see my "system" partition is ext4, as well as "data" and "cache" partitions.

[DEV]RECOVERY: CLOCKWORK MOD TOUCH RECOVERY for XL[5.8.0.9}

PLEASE PLEASE READ ALL BEFORE FLASHING
In my attempt to keep things up to date for our Sensation XL I approached Paul O'Brien of Modaco to compile a working unofficial mod of the Clockwork Touch Recovery for our devices. The image which he provided to me IS NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL!!!!!! I have posted it here as dev to hopefully get someone who knows about recovery to get it working!!!!!!!!!!
COME ON GUYS SOMEONE MUST BE ABLE TO DO THIS.
WHAT WORKS:
- SCrolling and selection works. Can scroll up and down and select options
WHAT DOESNT WORK:
- Cant wipe data, cache or dalvik. error with mounting data or cache partitions
- Cant choose zip from sdcard. error cant mount sdcard
Basically none of the core functions are working and hopefully someone here can get this WORKING!
To flash is simple: From Bootloader screen as with previous recovery type
***** fastboot flash recovery r2xxxxxxx *****
ensure recovery is in fastboot folder. after typing r2 just just hit tab and it will auto fill the filename of the recovery without you having to type it in.
To revert back to normal recovery is basically similar but flash R1 instead from bootlaoder screen.
THANKS FOR READING GUYS!
****AS usual the normal disclaimers apply. If this harms your device in anyway I will not be held responsible! Flash at your own risk**********
All credits for this current recovery to Paul O'Brien. Sahme it is not fully functional as he doesnt actually own the device anymore!

Just had a thought as I flashed this after flashing a custom rom but Chinese boot.img does mess with partitions. Some with stock rom please try and report by that I mean someone who hasn't flashed a custom rom previously. I may actually relock my bootloader to flash a stock ruu and try it.

Will be really beneficial to get this working. Helps everyone in the forum so any help and contribution is welcome
Let's start making forward motions for this handset!

Stickied for the time being

I used Racer_kitchen_v2 to extract the img and make it bit readable and compared the mount points of a working version (r1) with the touch recovery (r2) but unfortunately they seem to be identical.
r1-recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-modaco-runnymede.img
r2-recovery-clockwork-5.8.0.9-modaco-runnymede.img
they both seem to contain:
Code:
/recovery emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p21
/boot emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p22
/cache ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p30 NULL ext3
/data ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p29 NULL ext3
/sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p33 NULL
/system ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 NULL ext3
maybe I'm just looking for the wrong things at the wrong places. Well atleast I tried ^^.
I also used BeyondCompare to look for other differences but they're mostly unreadable.
If the chinese boot.img would mess with partitions etc then R1 wouldnt work either, I think..

thanks for feedback much appreciated mate. Remember the recovery is flashed prior to Chinese boot.img hence when I suggested that. Once we have flashed the Chinese boot.img and flashed a custom rom it changes the partitions. That why I suggested someone with stock rom and not flash any custom rom to try it and report. I am testing Ben's new rom but soon I will relock bootloader flash stock rom and try it

come on there must be someone out there.......................even if a new touch recovery is compiled my pledged amount still stands. WE NEED THIS! we are missing out on things especially AROMA installer. i tried this on Sensation and its definitely worth having!

for your information
I talked to madmaxx(developer of 4EXT touch recovery) asking him to support Sensation XL.
Hi,
Most probably yes.
But at the moment cannot give any eta.
BTW: Please upgrade to version 1.0.0.4 RC3
Have a nice day!

Thanks very much!
I'd indeed need someone to test
Will contact you once there's a little time I can spare on that. I think it shouldn't be too difficult to support the XL, since the hardware is not so different to other models already supported.

unfortunately I can't run logcat when android is not booted. We need to know what commands are executed that return these errors.
for troubleshooting I first flashed "r1-recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-modaco-runnymede.img" and booted in recovery. than I opened an adb shell and executed the mount command that lists the currently mounted partitions. after that I did the same for "r2-recovery-clockwork-5.8.0.9-modaco-runnymede.img" and notice there is a difference. as you can see the R1 mounts the cache partition for some reason and R2 doesnt. see below.

@shingers5 - Have you tried relocking your device and going stock yet?
additional info gathered:
It seems while in recovery and using adb shell I can mount any partition except for the sdcard. It's seems kinda logic, to make a backup or restore you need the sdcard.
according to the partition table inside the recovery sdcard should be on address:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p33 /sdcard
when android is booted and I list mounted partitions it says:
/dev/block/vold/179:33 /mnt/sdcard
both addresses won't mount.
>> New info
using the following command I can mount the sdcard and access it(from adb shell, while phone is in touch recovery), allthough recovery keeps telling me it cant mount sdcard..
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p33 /sdcard -o rw,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022
So without the extra options (rw,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022) sdcard won't mount.
I'm feeling i'm getting closer to the point to where I'll give up and just sit and wait for a pro. ah well atleast I gained some knowledge about all this ^^

Guess we can't get this going..maybe someone else can compile one from source and see if it works

"locked" internal SD (MMCBL0)

First of all, I'm experienced with android hacking/rooting/whatever but not so much with the galaxy tab.
So, I have this weird problem, whatever changes I make to a partition on the internal SD (including /data and /sdcard) doesnt actually gets applied to the internal SD. This include changes made by installing a app, using a file browser, using mass-storage, a shell command as root, reformat in recovery or even when using ODIN and just re-partitioning the whole thing.
Is this a known issue or does anyone have suggestions?

Tried flashing CF-root and formatting from CWM. /data and /sdcard still have all their data after being formatted.
edit:
Tried fsck, umount, and more linux tools. nothings helps.

Im trying to get to the bottom of what sounds like exactly the same issue.
A few more details noted here:
*edit to note I cant post external links*
My current guess is that at some point it's locked "read only". I'd just be happy with a working 2.3 tab at the moment. Forget any other roms lol.
If you get any further with it, I'd appreciate any answers you come up with. Visa versa if I beat you to it.

This exactly is my problem. Has someone here know the problem?

Thats three of us then. I'v found another two instances of the isue on "the Galaxy tab fourm" and posted a long log of trying to resolve it.
Those were both some time ago however and havent resurfaced. There is another thread on XDA comlaining of the same issue but no solutions or fix.
I', still trying to get this sorted so if I do encounter a resolution beyond "pay someone to fix it" then I will let you know.
Unfortunately I cant even do that as without knowing the cause I doubt I'd get it back repaired....
Any assitance would be very welcome, Im using just the browser on a p1000 as nothing else works.... Depressing lol.

I have exactly the same issues with a SGT-P1000 GSM. Tried everything but after reboot all data, that i wiped is back on internal memory. i could wipe partition and create ext4 partition with mini tool partition wizard, but just a couple of moments later after creating the partition successfully the partition changes back to fat32 and all data is back on internal memory, neverending story ...

Further research and a new error message suggests that there might be a link to the "system UIDs Inconsistent" error which has been reported across the forums for a variety of devices.
Im looking into it...

Hello! I have the exactly same issue. Has anyone been able to solve this?
I've tried cyanogen rom, the official (stock) ROM and that does not seem to solve my problem.
I've also tried, with a custom kernel, access the ADB shell as root on recovery mode and anything that I do, doesn't "stick". FDisk, file creation, file removal. NOTHING.
I'm a week like this and this post is the only reference I've found that has the exactly same problem that I do.
Please, do tell your findings.
Thanks,
- Sergio Moura

Little dont understand this, but i try to help
Maybe you can try dd command, i never using this for my tab but i often using in my linux..
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/path/your/sdcard
dd is unix or linux tools for low level format and can be used to make image file too. Please backup your data first, i dont responsible for your lose..

[Q] Read-Only internal storage?

Hi All,
(I've read tons of Threads here, but not yet found a solution).
My Galaxy Tab 10.1 is useless right now as it cannot write to internal storage.
Lots of apps crashing on use and doing a factory reset from the recovery menu does not help (Tablet is in exact same state aon reboot).
So, I've been using adb
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
Here's the mount information from shell
Code:
[email protected]:/mnt/asec $ mount
mount
rootfs / rootfs ro,relatime 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,mode=600 0 0

sysfs /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs rw,relatime 0 0
none /acct cgroup rw,relatime,cpuacct 0 0
tmpfs /mnt/asec tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755,gid=1000 0 0
tmpfs /mnt/obb tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755,gid=1000 0 0
none /dev/cpuctl cgroup rw,relatime,cpu 0 0

/dev/fuse /mnt/sdcard fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0
So, I've tried to mount manually from adb shell:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount: Operation not permitted
[email protected]:/ $
[email protected]:/ $ mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system
mount: Operation not permitted
But, I have no SU command:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ su
su
/system/bin/sh: su: not found
I've got the su binary from downloading off this forum, but I cannot copy that up either (even to seemingly writable mount points)
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb push su /cache
failed to copy 'su' to '/cache/su': Permission denied
Any hints to what I can do now?

Hey, this forum is for Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.
Here is link for SGT 10.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1050
But looks like your device is not yet rooted correctly.
The easiest thing is to find pre-rooted kernel and flash them via odin.

Thanks for the reply, yappoe!
I was following a guide I found linked on a forum to get the Tablet Restocked to factory settings.
However, when I try to write via Odin, I get an error message on the tablet in Red
Code:
Bct_sync_Odin: Error to NvBuBctUpdate![err:0x140005]
DownloadPartition_Odin: Error to Bct_sync_Odin![err:0x140005]
Tegra_Nand_Write: Error to DownloadPartition![err:0x140005]
Obviously a write error, presumably as the File system is in Read-Only mode ?
Ro

Yes, because permission is not set correctly. You need root access to do that.
I really don't know much about G-Tab 10.1, and I don't know what you were trying to do or are trying to do.
But if you are trying to go back to stock firmware, you can follow this steps.. it works on most Samsung. (Note: Unless you are moving from Honeycomb to ICS or vice versa, you do NOT need to re-partition).
you can download any official firmware at http://fus.nanzen.se/
1. Download Fus Check Downloader 2.1 and downloaded a Firmware for your region. It will automatically decode the .enc2 file to.zip file
(or find your firmware at sammobile.com, you can skip step 2).
2. Extract the .zip file generated from decoding file to a folder and I got
tar.md 5 file.
3. Start Odin - put the .md5 to PDA and leave everything else as is.
4. Go to download mode on the G-tab
and click start. It takes about 6 to 7 minutes to do the flashing.
Can't guarentee if it would work, but good luck.
Once you get it work with STOCK, go to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 forum
and find the instruction there to ROOT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1050

Thanks yappoe,
That is a nice tool for firmware downloading.
Unfortunately I get the exact same error immediately when trying to write to the tablet via Odin.
Code:
Bct_sync_Odin: Error to NvBuBctUpdate![err:0x140005]
DownloadPartition_Odin: Error to Bct_sync_Odin![err:0x140005]
Tegra_Nand_Write: Error to DownloadPartition![err:0x140005]
I think I have a sort of chicken and egg situation where I my problem is my drive is mounted in read-only mode and I cannot change it without rooting/executing su
Ro

same situation
I have the same situation but with my omnia 2.
suddenly, the internal storage became read-only.
I have tried flashing the ROM and unchecking "preserve device contents".
I have tried spyware, malware, antivirus from PC via usb mode.
I have tried low-level format.
I have tried hard reset.
I have tried below cabs.

Til now, i still have the problem.
Im using a micro sd instead.
Im planning on opening my phone and removing the internal memory chip instead lol.

I did open up my tablet.
The internal memory is part of a single mainboard.
(I think its the same in almost every device)
Looking into getting a replacement mainboard now.

It's possible to use an external SD card as the internal storage. This won't fix the internal storage, but your Tab will work again. See this thread.

Cheers for the pointer, but the Galaxy Tab 10.1 doesn't have a place for an SD / micro SD card addition.

Ah. But you asked in the wrong forum.

Dual Boot Galaxy Note 10.1 [01 May 2013]

I just couldn’t resist… I dual-booted my wife’s new G-Note 8013 with…
Stock ROM: N8013UEUCMA3
ClockWorkMod Recovery 6.0.3.1
Ubuntu GParted (I did everything else from an Android-SDK-powered Windows machine)
Collective Edition v6 By BaDaB!ng505
To my knowledge, this is the first published attempt at dual booting ROMs on the G-Note 10.1. And I am sure there are easier ways. But I just got this thing a week or so ago and I’m still discovering how forgiving it is
Description:
Boot to CWM and Nandroid backup ROM1 (internal memory).
Boot to Ubuntu and run GParted to shrink my SD card's FAT32 partition and to create three new ext3 partitions for ROM2’s /system, /cache and /data filesystems.
In hindsight, I could have made the partitions smaller, but I wanted to make sure that ROM2 would fit.
On G-Note’s ROM1, I go to Settings > Developer options, slide switch to ON and check “USB debugging”. Then I enter “adb shell mount” from an Android-SDK-powered computer to view ROM1’s mounted filesystems (can also do this from G-Note via terminal emulator).
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell mount

Note carefully the device names (/dev/block/mmcblk0p{n}) for /system, /cache and /data.
Also, when I boot to CWM and enter “edify”, it shows me CWM’S filesystem table. Note the device on which /boot resides.
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell

Now I select ROM2 to be: Collective Edition v6 By BaDaB!ng505.zip
I unzip ROM2 with 7-Zip and open: \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script.
Then I modify two lines to redirect the /system format and mount from /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 to /dev/block/mmcblk1p2:
if file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/option.prop","selected") == "1" then
ui_print("Collective Edition for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1...");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/cache");
unmount("/system");
delete("/data/local");
package_extract_dir("data", "/data");
set_perm(2000, 2000, 0771, "/data/local");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p2", "0");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p2", "/system");
package_extract_dir("theme/vrtheme", "/sdcard/vrtheme");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/sdcard/vrtheme/installtheme.sh");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/sdcard/vrtheme/zip");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/sdcard/vrtheme/cleanup.sh");
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/sdcard/vrtheme/zipalign");
delete_recursive("/cache");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
show_progress(0.6,1380);
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I also comment out the boot flash logic in updater-script (see below) to protect against soft-brick. That is because I have not yet modified ROM2’s boot image to recognize the three new SD ext3 partitions for /system, /cache and /data. Thus when I flash ROM2, my G-Note will still boot to ROM1 -- though now the SD card partition: /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 is populated with the Collective ROM system files.

Of course this method is somewhat cumbersome, and G-Note doesn’t have fastboot . So I developed a “boot-switcher” toolset that can be launched on the fly from either ROM using Terminal Emulator:
A good script manager would be even better since it would allow us to customize and store shell commands. But I have not yet found a script manager that is compatible with G-Note. I imagine someone has already ported a dual-boot spinner app from the SGN7000 or similar device.
And of course you can run a virtual Linux box underneath your ROM: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid&hl=en. It's an excellent app which has been around for a long time.
Blessings.

definitely trying this out on the new CMD3 firmware...
Great job buddy

You are amazing had any one told you that , this is just what my note missing and now it's right here .

I've just read that you are looking for a script manager that is compatible with our note. Well, this one is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager&hl=de but not directly over the playstore. You need to download the .apk with another device, than grab it from data/app and than copy it to your note. (filename should be os.tools.scriptmanager-1.apk) After this, just install it as usual. It works fine for me. I ran the supercharger v6 script with it and had no issues.

Ahhh yes, thanks. I had considered doing that yesterday since I use "SManager" (os.tools.scriptmanager-1.apk) for dual booting another device. But I pulled back after seeing Play Store's pop-up to the effect "This app is not compatible with your device."
We may need to check-box: Settings>Security>Unknown sources (allow installation of apps from sources other than Play Store).
[EDIT]And, as root: chmod 0644 /data/app/os.tools.scriptmanager-1.apk.
Or push it to /system/app (where apk's stay resident --- even after data wipe), then chmod & install as usual

Modified Collective ROM Boot Image for G-Note 8013
For those interested, here is the modified, repacked 8013 boot image to dual boot Collective V6 on SD: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?8lvkbtl5mf888f2
I think the easiest and safest thing to do is:
CWM-Nandroid backup ROM1 (just in case --- and because you need boot.img to reboot to ROM1)
Use Linux GParted (more user friendly) or CWM parted (less user friendly) to shrink SD card FAT32 and to create three new ext3 partitions as described in OP
Decompress Collective V6 updater-script using 7-Zip
Modify Collective's updater-script exactly as described in OP and re-zip with 7-Zip
Flash modified zip. This will push Collective’s /system files to the new ext3 partition: /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 on SD (you can still boot to ROM1 at this point)
Download repacked 8013 boot image linked above to your G-Note 8013
adb shell (as root) from an Android SDK-powered machine
dd if=boot-bing-core-8013-repack.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
Reboot G-Note
Be patient
Enjoy Collective v6 running on SD
I can add steps here as needed

Sounds very cool! But which one do you mean by sdcard? Do you mean the "real" micro sd card or do you mean the internal sdcard which is built in by samsung?

The new partitions are created on the external card.

ubuntu flashable .zip + aroma installer dual-boot method
Can this ubuntu image be turned into a fully functional .zip file that can be flashed using a custom recovery such as cwm or twrp that will allow a user to run it natively?
That in itself would be awesome!
If so, it might be possible to use the aroma installer dual boot method to make everything super simple.
Here's a link to a video showcasing the aroma installer dual boot method.
http://m.youtube.com/?reload=9&rdm=ticq76ky#/watch?v=DpfWFUHSkoY&desktop_uri=/watch?v=DpfWFUHSkoY
This aroma installer is meant for the galaxy note phone but after a few modifications, it could work just fine for b our 10.1s
A few things that will need to be changed are
The amount of storage space allocated for the rom slot that will be used for ubuntu (aroma gives 3 gigs to each rom slot and ubuntu 12 full is around 5 gigs, if I'm not mistaken)
A different button or combination of buttons have to be set to initiate booting up the secondary rom since our 10.1s don't have physical home buttons like the galaxy note phone does. (this aroma lets you choose and switch which rom is the primary rom which is awesome!)
Had I been more savvy about all of this, I'd have joyfully taken on these tasks myself, but I'm not there yet.
Hopefully I have been helpful to some of you.
I can't wait until whole process is simplified because being able too right click using this tablet will make life a lot easier.

Thanx for your instructions.
I have now a dual boot with cm11 on extSdCard and gnabo rom5. Only the script is not working for me. I might typed something wrong. It says that it cannot find the Boot directory. But this not much of a problem.
I know this is a old post, but maybe someone else is trying to do it. If there are questions, I might be able to help.

Can you make us a video tuturiAL.THANKS in advance

I got one question. How can you wipe the system on the external sd Card? Using gparted and format or is there another way?

Great job. wow you dual booted note 10.1.
i would like to try it on my N8000 kitkat but the only thing is that i find it challenging, only if someone would make a step by step guide for all users.
BUT no pressure thanks

What about making directory:
/data/secondary
+ subdirectories:
/data/secondary/cache
/data/secondary/data
/data/secondary/system
Then instead of mounting data partition to /data, mount it to e.g. /userdata, then bind /userdata/secondary/cache to /cache, etc. and no need for external sdcard. Changing mountpoints will require modifying fstab which is as of KK part of boot.img so, kernel recompiling will be needed or make some standard that all kernels will use for fstab modification. Also modified recovery for managing secondary rom, but principle is simple.
EDIT: Kernel can be switched by flashing it with dd.

this is the principal for TWRP Multi-rom, right i believe that the kernel for main rom need kexec hardboot patch

I've never used or checked MultiRom code. Just got this idea while i was on toilet
