Low Memory - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently was running really low of internal memory on my SGA and decided to root it. That all went fine. I moved some apps which was fine but then I tried to move 3 apps at once and the app froze. One of the apps i was trying to move was google play services. It moved to the sd card but was giving some errors so I moved it back. Also the two other apps disappeared but they are still taking up some internal memory. Basically I am try to get that memory back but don't know where to start. I did reboot the phone and cleared the cache.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am pretty much a noob when it comes to this kind of stuff so keep it simple if possible.
Thanks

Hmm, I assume you are on Stock Android 2.3.x, stock recovery, stock kernel and rooted. Then I will tell you the easiest way to do it for you..
1. Download and install CWM. (Search the thread here if you don't know how)
2. Partiton your SD card size of your choice using CWM. (Search the thread here if you don't know how) (WARNING: IT WILL FORMAT EVERYTHING AND SPLIT THE PARTITION OF YOUR SD CARD)
*Partitioning means it will split the size of your memory card and use as your SGA internal memory.
3. Download and install the Custom Battery Extender Kernel by PSN Mem-MOD (Recommended). Click my SGA signature.
4. Reboot your phone into CWM and install the kernel.
(Suggest you do a wipe/factory reset of your phone after installing the kernel)
See the magic! Your SGA internal memory is now increased.
Note: Do not remove your memory card while your phone is on. Or else it will cause some of your apps in your phone to get corrupted. But you can still use the mass storage mode to connect your phone to your PC.

Is not possible to install the psdna88 kernel patcher on stock kernel. He would need a custom kernel made for stock rom. My suggest is to install CWM, wipe data and cache and begin from 0 without repeating the steps that took you to ask for help here.

Thanks guys. I might just have to start fresh and take your advice

It can be installed. My SGA is using stock DXKT7 ROM and on Battery Extender 1.6 memory modded kernel.
I install it using the steps I have just posted.

If you read carefully what I said you can see that I was talking about installing that kernel patcher on a stock kernel. I know that is possible to use in with stock rom. Please don't post useless answers, thank you!

can it be used be Maclaw 4.0.4 or 4.2.2 AOSP or CM10.1 Rom
or can u tell me anyother kernel like this for 4.0.4 or 4.2.2 rom
please do reply

Follow these.
1. Root Phone
2. Install CWM Recovery
3. Flash a Compatible Kernel. Preferably Battery Extender 1.2
4. Partition your sd-card.
5. Install Link2sd from Play Store.
After this much is done. Reply. Will give you further process.
Many other ways too.
If you dont understand any above step. Search in XDA or Follow the link to my Blog.

Ok I have been trying to find CWN for my phone. I have a SGA GT-S5830D. I am using koodo in Canada (if that matters) I have been searching the forums and am unsure on which to install as I don't want to brick my phone (Wife wouldn't be impressed)
Would the file that I attached work on my phone?
Thanks for the help

AFAIK GT-s5830D is the same phone as GT-s5830 so you can use whatever mod from GT-s5830

You can install Link2SD without a custom kernel and without CWM installed. All you need is a Rooted phone and a partitioned sdcard (ext2 for stock ROM)

CM7.2.4a to CM10

Hi,
I would like to know how can I install CM10 on my milestone which is currently on CM 7.2.4a and old open recovery which was available before 2nd boot. Should I switch to flash before going to CM10 or can I directly flash CM10 and also I have a 2gb microsd card will it be enough or do I need to go for new one (if new then which one should I buy?)?
Also the link to nightly builds looks to be blocked in this country so any alternate link will be helpful and appreciated.
Thanks
You need before flashing:
1) Wipe everything (cache,dalvik,data (so backup all your information before wiping data))
2) Create an ext partition on your SDCard. (it is necessary, 512MB or more is recommended) Follow THIS guide, if you don't know how to do it. Section 4.
You don't need to update the OR, but it is recommended.
The link to the nightlies in my signature doesn't work for you? If not, i'll upload the latest build to somewhere.

Thanks Erovia for your reply. The link does not work for me can you please upload the latest build and provide me the link. So there is no need to switch back to the stock?
You don't need to go back to stock, just wipe everything.
The link doesn't work for me at the moment, i think the server is down.

Thank you very much Erovia. Appreciate it. Could you please lemme know if going back to CM7 will as easy in case I want to go back as its very much stable.
If you want to go back, just wipe everything and flash the rom. That's all.
Or restore nandroid backup you made before "flashing" cm10
Thanks guys... I need an advice on micro SD card as I'm about to buy a new one. Does milestone support more than 8 gb should I buy 8 or 16 gb and what's the significance of class which class is preferred?
Sent from my Milestone using xda app-developers app
Up to 32GB are supported, the higher the class the better.
I don't know what's the speed limit given by the Milestone's hardware - but I guess Class 10 is sufficient.
I bought this one: Samsung Essential Class 10 microSDHC 32GB
But it gave my phone hiccups, I had to format it with this tool to make it work without problems: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/

Thanks. Could you please lemme know how to move from OR (old) to 2nd boot, Is it just replacing the OR folder and update.zip or should I install vulnerable recovery again?
Just delete the old OpenRecovery folder and update.zip and copy the new ones to you sdcard.
Once you flashed the vulnerable recovery, it is there, you don't have to do with it anything.

I have the same question with you
I've answered that in post #2.
Please, read the whole topic (it's not so big) before asking something that someone asked before.
Something wrong with partitioning
My phone is hung on boot. I think there is something wrong in the sd card partitioning. I used minitool to partition from then on when I try to wipe cache/data/dalvik its giving a msg at the end can't mount... Could you please lemme know whats wrong. I have 16gb card should I first partition to ext2 and then use tunefs to convert is it must?
I used this partition layout for CM10:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note that my card is only 8GB, your fat32 partition should be bigger. I used "parted" from the Recovery console to accomplish this.
Please read these guides on partitioning your sdcard, they explain everything:
http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/ (boot into Recovery, console, then start from step 2)

Now I managed to get into the open recovery and installed but now the question is how do I make sure the ext3 partition which I created is ok is there any way to check from within android?

The Milestone only has 256MB RAM which is full almost all the time (even with Gingerbread), Jellybean requires more RAM to run smooth. Swap is kinda like RAM on your sdcard, since you can't just plug in more RAM into the Milestone. It does not make your phone faster, but provides some "emergency" RAM for when your 256MB are full. It keeps background apps alive when multi tasking, if RAM was full they would be killed.
HWA Settings: You can turn off GPU hardware acceleration for individual apps, this saves RAM but they may look more laggy with animations.

Can't mount sdcard

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to change roms and for some reason the recovery says that the sdcard cannot be mounted.
I have tried using darkyrom ressurection and it works, but after i try flashing slimbean it flashes the kernel and then stops recognizing the sdcard.
I don't know if this is a physical problem (sdcard broken or something), or a software problem.
If anyone knows how this can be fixed I would be very gratefull.
If you can mount it on your computer, see what format it is in. Fat or Fat32 ?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
can you try another sdcard?
i meant the internal sd btw.
i formatted it using fat32 and it works when i use darkys ressurection. but when i try to flash slim bean it stops recognizing the internal sd...

Copy everything off of it. Then do a full format (non quick). Could take 30min. Then flash to stock 2.3.x with Odin using 512 pit. Then flash a kernel through Odin, and flash the Rom you want from there.

I know my question isn`t exactly about mounting the sd card, but since it involves memory, I believe this thread could be useful.
I updated my Galaxy S to Nightly`s CM10 4.1.2 and since then have been having major issues with storage.
I have a 32gb sd card which to me appears totally unused, because I try to take pictures on the camera, and it simply won`t allow me `cause it says I do not have any space available, but this is what my phone shows me:
Internal Storage
Total Space 1.48GB
Apps 361MB
Available 1.15GB
USB Storage
Total Space 5.78GB
Apps 182MB
Pictures Video 2.14GB
Downloads 432MB
Available 2.41MB
SD Card
Total Space 29.87GB
Available 28.62GB
I`ve only been having these problems after updating to CM10, before I had a stock android 2.3!
To be very honest I do not know what the USB storage stands for, but I think my phone could cleverly use the 32GB I left free for my stuff!
Any help please on how to have available space on my phone again so I can continue taking pictures and download normally?
Many thanks

i9000 has 8 GB internal SD which is divided into Internal Storage and USB storage. SD Card is your external SD.
Seems that the most space of your USB storage is used to store Pictures and Videos.
There is no option to change camera target storage in CM10, but could you just move your pics to SD card?
I hope that the option of choosing camera storage will be there in the future - I think they had it on CM9.
Did you update with wipe, wipe dalvik and wipe cache?
Thanks a lot for the explanation!
I believe I didn't do the wipe dalvik cache, should I try doing it?
I tried transferring my pics to the SD but couldn't there is no option, I'll try doing it via file explorer!

Have you tried checking or transferring on your computer.. If the SD card is readable, you could transfer files..
# Sent from my blazing slimbean SGS i9000 using Tapatalk 2 #
Gladly the SD card is readable and I just plugged the phone to the computer and copied the dcim folder to the SD card, the only problem is that I cannot see this "album" on the image gallery. Any hints?
Problem solved, just changed the folder name and it became visible. Just didn`t like it because I had to do it manually, is there a way to make my pictures and apps to be honest, go directly to the sd card other than the internal storage? I bought and class 10 sd card so that it would have fast access and I wouldn`t have to worry about backing up stuff from the internal to the external all the time.

There's no option in cm10 to choose picture target save location. Maybe It'll be available in later releases.
hello, I have also a problem with the external SD card - it can be somewhat connected with this.
A while ago I didn't have a CD rom or an USB to install windows on my PC and I thought I could use the SD card while it's in the phone as an USB device to install windows from it. During the format process, it gave an error and now it says it's broken when trying to acces from the phone. I don't have a SD converter, to put it directly in the PC, but I tried to format it from the phone and from Windows (while in the phone), but nothing works.
Can I do something or it's broken forever?
Is the Read-only switch on your SD off?

[Q] About cleaning before flashing CM ROM.

Hello everyone. I am using Hong Kong GT-N7000, N7000ZSLR1 stock firmware with Android version 4.1.2. Also I use "PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0-signed" as recovery but will reset flash counter after using this custom recovery each time (remove yellow triangle).
So let's get to the topic. I am going to install a new ROM, it's called "Beanstalk" or something, Android version 4.4.4, based on CM11. The link of the ROM is here: http://www.romzj.com/resources/samsung.html?view=rom&cid=90&id=14867. But since it's in Chinese so it's just for reference for you guys.
The problem is, I want to do a clean installation. I know that I need to use the recovery to wipe many things, I always do "5 wipes", like factory reset, wipe partition cache, dalvik cache etc. I don't remember so much but that's how I install new ROM. And that's the reason why I don't use stock recovery, I used that Philz becuase it can wipe 5 things for me, and official CWM recovery can't be installed in my phone (I mean the ROM manager app in Google Play Store that can install official CWM recovery), I don't know why, when I open recovery mode after installing official CWM it's still the stock one, maybe I messed with my phone too much before.
Anyway that's not the main concern, now that I think the "5 wipes" still can't completely remove the previous ROM's stuff. For example under the "device root/data/data" directory, some stock firmware's applications' folder still exist (I'm just predicting they will exist from my experience, I'm still in old stock firmware):
http://postimg.org/image/m1jlblhc7/
And some files of old stock firmware's app data is still here in sdcard0, I mean the internal storage of my phone, not external one. Names are like "com.kimi.ggplay.sklrtw" or something. Maybe "update.zip" can be deleted too.
Of course I will use that Philz recovery to backup my whole ROM before flashing new ROM. But I want to know how to completely delete unnecessary items in new ROM? That is, old files of the N7000ZSLR1. Thank you in advance!
Really? No one can help me out?
If you want to completely clean it then you can repartition the device with a pit file. Alternatively you can use "SD maid" to remove left overs like that.

Sorry for choosing this words: but it is simply stupid to "clean" a device by repartitioning it.
It is dangerous and there is completely no indication for using Pit files in this case.

Yup, I agree. But other steps will be a bit harder and less effective. This way you are sure to get it completely cleaned out. Normally, just a /data, /system, /preload will do and if you want to go a lot further then you can also format the internal memory.

Hai, I agree with @ThaiDai that repartitioning is by far too reckless n risky to clean up the device but I agree with you that formatting internal sd card is enough to do the trick as after formatting it will be cleared of everything. The OP of this topic must mean his leftover uninstalled apps folder as many android apps left their folder "just in case" you want to reinstall the app again. These folders usually contain their setting configuration n in some games the saved game files. Quite harmless but it can be annoying when we open our sd card n there r 'alien' folders

1. Formatting the internal memory sounds good, any tutorial on how to use .pit files? And why is it dangerous again?
2. Will it wipe my SMSs and contacts that are saved in my SIM card? Also will it wipes external SD card too?
3. Which custom recovery you think is the best here? For installing ROM.
Thanks in advance!
BTW this is my storage status, you can see my internal memory only consists of 1.975 GB...

1. In short, wrong move in repartitioning will make your note a nice decoration. Search the thread on the why's.
2. Yes, formatting sd card WILL delete EVERYTHING so at least back up your media files before doing it.
3. This question violates XDA rules. Best Roms are roms that YOU think it's best for you n not what other's think.
4. You can learn how yo repartition your device to increase internal storage (mine's at 6 GB). Head to @metalgearhathaway 's thread to learn how to do it. Read, n READ to understand before you try please.

1. Which .pit file should I choose? "i9100 Preload Area Moddified Pit Files"? "i9100 Pit Files 3GB - 8GB Collection by metalgearhathaway.zip"? "i9100 Pit Files 1GB & 9-12GB Collection by metalgearhathaway.zip"?
2. What is this .pit files actually wipe? This is not only wiping internal sd card, but also external sd card, and the contacts that's saved in my SIM card (the card that represents my phone number and network provider, not for storing files)? Is that it?
3. Which recovery you are using then for N7000?
4. "i9100 Pit Files 3GB - 8GB Collection by metalgearhathaway.zip" and "i9100 Pit Files 1GB & 9-12GB Collection by metalgearhathaway.zip" can be flashed together with custom ROMs? Beanstalk in this case.

Sorry was driving just now didn't really read through.
1. Choose between 4 / 6 / 8 GB.
2. I myself preferred the longabout way which is to flash the PIT file with STOCK rom, then reboot recovery, do factory reset and format sd card. After that follow procedure of flashing custom roms.
3. Preload modded are for roms that DO NOT use preload partition such as AOSP. They give you extra +/- 500 MB more free memory. Downside is, if you want to reflash Tw based roms in the future, then you will have to repartitiate again.
4. All procedures use ODIN.
5. Please read the rest of the guide yourself. The OP has shown much effort in writing it down.

If you flash this recovery, unless you r on stock based kernel, then you must flash a new rom. Why don't u flash
PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0-signed.zip in recovery if u want to flash TW based roms or Forest's CM11 kernel if you want to flash KK roms instead of using Odin? What rom were you on now?

Because I want to use the latest version although I see there are fewer files then PhilZ-cwm6-XXLTA-ATL-5.15.0-signed.zip. And I am in stock official recovery now.
I don't know what is TW based or other based ROM, I just know it is based on CyanogenMod. I am going to flash the Beanstalk ROM I mentioned at the first post. http://www.romzj.com/resources/default.html?view=rom&id=14867

Other option, install Universal kernel flasher from the Play store, and some root explorer (like ES file explorer or similar). Unpack zip of kernel and install kernel.bin.md5 with Universal kernel flasher.
BTW I think that you can't flash CoCore zip in stock recovery, you must use Universal kernel flasher.

1. Try with other SD card if you can
2. Do that repartition (I posted you a link) - it was happening to me too, but after fixing SD card it was visible.
Where exacly do you go in stock recovery? You need an external SD card, it can't work with internal.

1. I going to try.
2. My PC does see my sd card.
I chose "install update from external SD card". After chose I see only ".../" or something like this:
".../
*&^*&^&^
*&^*&^44
8798 (. 877
"
The files are on SD card (external)
I think that problem is in the version of JB - android.
compatible with carbonRom?
Hi, im a bit of a newbie with kernels and this might be a stupid question but i hope you guys can help.
I'm currently have CarbonRom KitKat on my phone(here) and i really like it but i would like some other governors now i wondered if i could flash this kernel without any trouble or collisions or something?
sorry for my bad English, i'm from The Netherlands.
Thanks in advance

Well did you do repartitioning? Backup all to PC, repartition and put just root.zip on it.

If that wont work that will mean that u have a virus on your sd (i read about that in PL forum ). U will need to format sd card to delete virus.

[Stock] [De-bloated] [Pre-Rooted] [BusyBox integrated] [246 MB] ROM for Sprout 4-8

No ROM is as smooth as STOCK ROM. So here is the de-bloated and pre-rooted stock ROM for sprout 8. This ROM is only 246 MB and works like a charm. It also has BusyBox integrated, so there is no need to install it with any app. ( Thanks to Stericson )
This ROM boots up quickly even on first boot. Thanks to the maker of ART_ON_FIX.
Due to a few apps, normal boot up time is also reduced.
Screenshots are given below.
Moreover, if you want to run Viper4Android with stock kernel, then head over to this thread.
Everything is working perfectly, if you find any bug then let me know.
I hope you will enjoy it.
Thanks @abkdmn and @arpitbatra123 for testing Sprout 4 version.

Flash at your own risk, I'll not be responsible for any damage done to your device.
Download ROM for Sprout 8
Download ROM for Sprout 4
PS:
There is no Camera, File Explorer, and Stock Messaging app. I have removed the Camera app and replaced stock messaging app with Textra SMS to keep the size smaller. But if you want these apps, then flash the zip of basic apps after flashing the ROM. You can find the link below.
Download Basic apps
PPS:
Those who are getting low system partition space, do this after flashing the ROM.
1: Backup SYSTEM partition.
2: Go to wipe option > Advanced wipe > and there select SYSTEM and wipe it.
(TWRP)
3: Restore SYSTEM.
4: Now you have 1 GB of the SYSTEM partition.

I have installed this on my spice android one phone and my initial impression are followed
Pros: It has improved my phone's battery life considerably, maybe because I had been using some apps earlier that was causing battery drain or maybe it is updated 6.01 MM with all the updates and bugs fixes.
Cons: I am having problem with some of the apps that I can't transfer to SD card which I could do earlier and though I can transfer google chrome to the sd card but it is not working and crashing there but working fine in internal storage.
overall I am kinda satisfied with having a lot more extra internal space and lot less cluttered.

Thanks for the feedback. But I would recommend everyone that they should not move apps to external storage media. Because it makes device slower, due to the low speed of SDcards.

dude this device has got less than 2gb of internal storage after installing this rom, the only reason for me to installing this rom was to have some mb's free in my internal storage
If I didn't transfer apps to sd card then I wouldn't be able to install some of the most basic apps.

Can I flash this rom over CM 13? I really want to.?
I have a weird issue on this rom. Previously everything was fine but now I have a problem. WhatsApp and Chrome cannot write anything to SD card (Whatsapp says download failed and Chrome says SD card missing). In the settings it shows SD card inserted and mounted. Root explorer can access SD card and it is not corrupt as I can copy stuff from PC. I have tried to use SD card both as Adopted storage and Portable storage but still same issue. I am using Sprout 4 rom. Can someone tell me how to fix it or what is causing this? I don't want to flash new rom
