I'd post this in the devel section, but my post count isn't high enough, so it'll have to go here instead.
Finally I have a version of CWM that enables saving to the external SD (why didn't it have this feature from day one?). The only problem is it seems to be a bit confused about what's internal and what's external. The "save to / restore from internal SD" function actually points to the external SD, and the only other choice is simply labelled "SD", and that's the one that points to the internal SD. This is very confusing, but at least I can finally do a Nandroid backup (not enough space left on my pathetic 8GB internal SD).
This leads me to my other point: is there any way for me to switch from CWM to TWRP but keep this ROM, i.e. is there an X-Bean compatible Semaphore kernel with TWRP?
Apart from that, X-Bean is perfect.

I am not sure whether the TWRP works with semaphore or not.
But yes you can use devil kernel to have the twrp in place and switching from cwm to twrp dont need any changes in the rom.
Only problem is Devil doesn't have cifs and tun modules AFAIK, which I need.

I'm thinking of having a go at building my own kernel based on Semaphore, but with support for TWRP.

Couple days ago i root my phone and install x-bean 3.0 to it.
When i try to open "apollo" player it just says "apollo is stopped" and goes back to the menu and sometimes it says it when i just open my phone. How to fix this problem?
ty for u all. im noob i know.
sorry but some questions...
As a "novice" regusterted user, I have noted that there are some 'unanswered' questions related to flashing ROMs...
So, please excuse my portential silly quotes, but as an IT specialist, I have to ask them:
- Why is there so much difference to flash a ROM from a stock one to something *new* instead of flashing from another ROM which is already
a new and tweaked one?
- Does the formatting from CWM do what it is suppposed to do? (wiping all the old stuff forever)?
- It it is not so, and as far as I see there are a lot of problems, why is no-one mentioning that there are soem 'registers' in the ROM which
are beiing read by new ROM and/or kernels?
My personal experience is that most of the ROMs for GT.I9000 on Jelly Bean are working much more reliable than most installers have their
opinion in all the questions asked, just because they are not using the device for a prolonged time...
After using RC 12.1 from elitemovil with kerne 2.06 for three weeks now, a lot of problems just 'wanished'. I can now use the gallery without problems (and there were a lot of missing photos and clips), and the battery usage is now very good, a lot of thing are now much better than at the beginning...
All of this is telling me of a potential subject which is not spoken about, and this could be soem *register* data which does to be changed for the new ROM and perhaps the kernel to be filled out so that all the new things and features work as expected?
As this is my first post Comments from experienced users/developers are welcome!

There is not an easy answer. Some people have the best battery life from the stock kernel though most say that better battery life can be found on one of the custom kernels.
Now that Bilboa1 has gone off to the SGS II, that means either the Platypus kernel or the Glitch kernel. Both of the two have strengths and weakness so read through their threads a bit to get an idea. Most importantly, both allow Undervolting which can really improve battery longevity but requires some experimenting to find the right levels for you.
All I can suggest is spend a day with each one, and stick with the one that works best for you in terms of both speed and performance.
Make sure you download the one that is set up for the Nightly you are running...and remember that just because the current version of Platypus is best for you, doesn't mean that with the next Nightly, the Glitch version won't be better for you. CM7 rewards the person who experiments and understands that their phone's software is a fluid, living thing.
As for how you flash one, it is quite easy. Stock is built into each nightly, so to get back to it, just reflash the Nightly. Also remember that each Nightly will therefore force you back to stock, and you will need to wait for the kernels to be updated and released, usually a few hours after the Nightly hits Sourceforge.
1) Download the kernel of your choice (or all of them) and the Cleaning zip (links on the kernel threads)
2) Place it on your internal SD card (using Root Explorer or just flash it from the directory it is downloaded to).
3) Boot into Recovery.
4) Select Flash Zip from SD Card
5) Flash the Cleaning Zip.
6) Flash the kernel
7) Reboot
See, not so bad.
+1 cant add anything to that to make it better.
finding the right kernel and maybe a little undervolting is the only way (for now)
Thanks for the advice, So at the moment im on Cm7 11052011 and the latest is 15052011. How do i get to that without having to set up from new again when i get there? Will my phone be how it is now once i reflash it?
I installed Platypus on 20110509 (SGS I9000 international) and it kind of broke everything (boot and recovery not working anymore)
I had to reflash a stock-kernel with odin to fix it.
Coming from a stock 2.2.1-ROM with Speedmod-kernel, the batterylife was kind of demotivating

As long as you don't use the "INITIAL"-zips you should be fine.
Hi,
my friend bought this phone and wants me to "fix it up" for him. I am completelly unfamiliar with this phone and Samsung in general, so I need a little help.
I have scoured these forums for the last hour and there is TONS of information available. It's really difficult to judge which posts are outdated and which are still working.
Basically what I want is this:
1. Root the phone
2. Install CWM
2. Install latest CM7 for this phone.
I reckon the root works with using SuperOneClick, correct? And for CWM I thought I'm gonna use this?
But I am at a complete loss when it comes to which CM7 to choose, there are tons of them? Can someone recommend me a fresh, stable, debloated and fast CM7 ROM with everything working?
Thanks.
I managed to get root and clockwork mod up and running.
Any ideas for which Rom?

1) For rooting, refer to this thread - http://yagyagaire.blogspot.in/2011/08/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-popmini.html
It does not matter if it outdated - all you have to do is go to superuser app, and choose update binaries. You will get latest version.
2) For now, i personally don't feel you should use CWM 6. the version i am using (CWM 5) has no bugs and works perfectly. here is the link -
http://yagyagaire.blogspot.in/2012/02/clockwork-mod-touch-for-galaxy-mini-gt.html
3) As for ROMs, there is a large collection out there. It all depends on your choice. For example, if you want:
A stock based ROM choose something like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861240
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576996
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074556 (which is CM10.1 - Jellybean)
Or another CM10.1 ROM which works very well - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2227481
Or maybe another interesting ROM which im sure you will like, which has interesting tweaks like android version - 5.0.0.5 (lol)
Cyanogen mod 7 music edition - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329551&highlight=emanon
Or the experience ROM by autoradio, which allow a lot of customization - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2193327
This is another really good ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754694
PS the question "best ROM" is always being asked and is then subsequently closed by a mod, so read the rules next time
Another thing you should know is NEVER use an app called ROM manger. it will brick your phone.
I supposs this cover everything

Hi All,
Slowly getting use to my Note, and totally loving it... Yes, I have joined this party very late... But trust me, this device is PREMIUM compared to my last phone... So enjoying all what it has to offer...
However....
1) Is there a way to check your backups in CWM?? Just did a backup of what has taken me 2x days to finely tune the ROM.. only to find it failed an MD5 check and so wont restore.... - POINTLESS backup
2) Is there any official Samsung Stock Roms (UK pref / International) that are converted/flashable via CWM?? (Dont mind if they are GB, ICS or JB) I will of course be using Philz Kernel if its ICS based....
3) Are there any CLEAN Gingerbread roms available, either based off official Samsung GB or if there was a clean CM7 build...??
Other than that, I think most things are cool with the N7000
Thank you, Lister

However, not sure what you mean by going to the folder in CWM??

Would of been nice if CWM had failed for it stay on that screen and show an error. I have since wiped the phone and now the backup is useless... All the files are there, and all 1.2Gb of data is present in seperate files. Not sure if I can flash them one at a time, although not a great way to restore...

I did find that thread already, but a lot of the Roms in there are tweaked and not clean/pure....

As far I can see there is no CM7, which surprises me as the phone shipped with Gingerbread and the phone itself was considered premium at the time, so would of thought the CM team would of done one...??

sorry i misunderstood what you were asking. CWM should NOT automatically reboot, so to me that means you had an unsuccessful backup. It should at the end say something like backup complete... also, regarding a million files in blob folders for CWM, that is not the best format. in backup settings, change the format to "tar" not "dup"

if you want the info, search for the difference b/t deodexed and odexed on google, its interesting..
But yeah LSZ is a little old (almost a year now).
I would go with something XXLT4, LT5, LT6, LT9, or LTA (in order of newest, but there have been no major changes since LT4, so LT4 is fine), if you can find one. be sure to always include /preload in your full wipe procedure when flashing stock roms.
Another option is to just flash a FULL stock ROM, then Flash PhilZ (PC Odin or Mobile Odin) - but beware using odin and not have all the knowledge puts you in the DANGER ZONE of killing your phone with the brick bug

to Install GB via flashable zip, you can flash via Mobile Odin or CWM - or if the thread has special install instructions, follow those

As for CM7, they just never did it... CM9 was first.
Also, I know you're looking for stock stuff right now, but CM10.2 is a MAJOR upgrade from CM7. The official CM10.2 nightlies are pretty amazing.
But thats all opinion, the stock has a lot of cool features and benefits... just not for me (i used to love it, but its too bloated and slow)
Hey Guys,
Next Weekend (Friday December 20), I will finally make the jump to Jelly Bean from Gingerbread. I know that Kit Kat is also available, but it is much more buggy than Jelly Bean, and stability is my main goal, which is why I stayed on Gingerbread for so long. My plan for upgrading is this:
-Make a complete backup and snapshot of my device (Nandroid + Titanium Backup + Backup both Internal and External SD Cards to Computer) in case something goes wrong.
-Fully format both internal and external SD Cards (Including second Link2SD Partition in Ubuntu)
-Use AIO Toolkit to upgrade to New bootloader, and set up all new partitions, etc.
-Use AIO Toolkit to flash TWRP 2.6.0.0/ 2.6.3.0 For new bootloader (If it becomes available by the time I flash)
-Wipe Everything in Recovery
-Flash the latest TheROM 26 Stable (Most stable 4.3.1, with awesome extra features), + Kowalski Kernel M1 Stable, but I am keeping a close eye on the 3.1 developments (the 3.1 Hijuni port is too unstable for daily use currently, and Pengus mentions that Kowlaski features are being ported and code is being cleaned up for the Kowalski 3.1 release), so basically, I will make the kernel decision the day of the flashing operation.
-Flash Tonyp's full Non-Neon gapps from the development section
-Flash extra ROM Goodies, like feav's camera mod
-Reboot, let sit for a few minutes, and reboot again after first boot
-Begin setting up ROM/ Kernel and begin installing apps fresh from Google Play, and only restoring data from titanium backup for certain apps like games, etc.
Regarding the above, I have a few questions:
To begin, are the above steps proper? Is there anything that I should add or remove?
Secondly, when the 2.6.3.0 for New bootloader becomes available, it is as simple as flashing the new image through AIO Toolkit with no loss of data?
Lastly, does the Full non-neon gapps by Tonyp contain everything? Is there a better gapps to flash? I want the full Google apps experience, and the included mini-gapps does not contain everything I think.
I know this is a long post, but I really want to make sure I'm doing this right, and hopefully someone can use this thread in the future to do things proper also. Thanks in advance.
hi, I think the steps are correct. changing the bootloader will format the internal sd, but it doesn't matter if you format it before it. If tonyp makes a new twrp available you can flash it through the previous version of it, then you reboot recovery and it will be the updated version. not sure about the gapps question, but it surely contains play store, so you can install the latest version of the Google apps manually from it. good luck.

Hello,
Thank you very much. I will continue to research and if I have any questions which I cannot find the answer to, I will ask here. Thanks again.

Yeah. Your steps are fine.
The new 3.1 kernel is awesome. I am using it with TheROM build 25. You might wanna try it.
TonyP's GApps have most of the important Google Apps. It's sufficient, I think.
And, AFAIK, a new recovery doesn't need a data wipe of any kind.
Have fun Flashing and Upgrading!
Sent from my LG-P990 using Tapatalk
Thanks for your answer! I think I will stick with the KK M1 build, and maybe when the 3.1 kernel becomes a bit more stable I will flash it. It's not too big of a deal, because a kernel upgrade is just wiping dalvik and regular caches, installing, and setting up kernel settings, which is a lot less work than a ROM upgrade. I think I will stick with Tonyp's non-neon full gapps, and I'll upgrade the recovery to TWRP 2.6.3.0 newbl whenever it becomes available . Thanks again!

I have just got my hands on a Galaxy Ace S5830 It will be my spare /temporary phone for a while so I thought I would have a play with it So far it's a great little phone.
It was on the standard rom but I am greedy and I now have ROOT + CWM 5.0.2.6. and then upgraded to Kitkat For All [CWM.5.x] CM 11, Omni & Omega by Salim PS earlier today and it's much nicer than the stock stuff.
The only problem I am having is the totally crap internal storage limitation Is there anything that can be done to increase it? Once I install a few apps I am totally out of internal storage space Which is no fun at all...
I have had a look around but i really don't know what I am looking for Can you help...

You need a rom that uses a Kernel with swap support and you need to partition your sd with CWM (advanced settings). No cm11 kernel has swap support and link2sd don't work either. Some Cm 10.1 and below do. I just suggested to another member who was after a good rom to use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2599760 Use S2 touchwizz style with cronmod. Partition your sd first. Instructions are probably on here for that but i just followed this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U_Sp_BtzrM
