Uptil now i have been using 2.3.x roms only. recently i tried out the alchemists' rom which is 4.2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2227481)
but since this is my first time i have a lot of questions to which i can find no proper answers..
these are my doubts:
1)gaaps is 91 mb and that does not leave much space on internal memory...is there a lite version and can anyone post the link? (i searched on the net everywhere but i cant find it)
2) what are the scripts that can be used for internal memory?(like link2sd etc) i have a class 4 sd with 1gb ext 3 partition.
3)the rom like 2.3.x roms does not have the options in settingss "performance"(overclocking and all that) and "developer options". (i think its called oc and uc kernels...)
4)what performance enhancing scripts can be used? (adrenaline and stuff cannot be used coz they are only for 2.3) also can bravia engine 2 and beats audio be used?
5)can apps like swapper be used?(is it even recommended with class 4) can chainfire be used?
I know this is a lot but please bear with me...
1. use slimmed gapps, a lot of options in original gapps simply don't work on old devices, konstakang made good ones
2. i use link2sd, but i heard some others work, just look around and read few pages of discussion threads
3. again, looking around would solve your problem... tap on build number in about phone few times
4. what for? it will only clutter the system (just my personal opinion)
5. again, what for?
1-4 learn to read, 5 learn to search. Short and 100% correct answer

You can slim gapps for yourself! It really isn't that hard...
here, is it really that hard?
I would like to ask somebody if there is a solution to switch sd cards in android 4.4 kitkat. Any help is appreciated.
What do you mean by switch cards, are you saying that physically changing them?
He means using an external microsd card as the phones internal SD memory.
I've been thinking of doing this myself because you can buy micro SD cards that perform much better than the i9000's internal SD memory..

You are right. Now I am in Mackay 4.3.0 which is android 4.3 where kernel provides changing them. I want to know if there is something similar possible in 4.4
I'd like to know too. If it's possible I'll buy a fast microsd card and do it myself.. I've seen people doubling their read and write speeds, possibly more, by doing this. But I'm not sure if it's doable on 4.4

Depending on the build, it could be achieved by init d or build.prop when fstab aries switch does not work. look here for different methods. you need to test it out yourself.

Have you ever tested/used the external sd card instead the internal because of performance???

What do you mean? I am using external instead of internal but on Android 4.3 and in this thread I am asking if somebody knows if is in some way already working on android 4.4. Our it can be only by compiling kernel for that?
Today I bought a new micro sd toshiba exceria class 10 (95 read/30 write) and I want to be able to load some apps from the external sd but I have the CM 11 version of pawitp.
I've tryed some ways to do that but seems that doesn't work on this ROM... any suggetion?

The main reason for switching is that,
1) you can have a larger storage
2) If anything goes wrong , you can easily replace card to solve problem
3) performance will depend on user and usage, as SD cards performance is based on video recording and playback capability ( read this to understand it )

I only wanted to know if it makes sense because from performance-view to use external instead of the internal memory ...

Dodging The Question At Hand
I think the OP's question was quite direct and to the point. Lets repeat it:
"How do you swap internal storage with external storage in Android 4.4 (KitKat)"
In Android versions 4.1/4.2 you could edit vold.fstab and accomplish this goal.
In Android version 4.3 things changed and you had to edit build.prop to accomplish the same goal.
Now... in Android 4.4 neither of the two methods work. If you find a solution to said problem by all means post it. Otherwise you're filling the post with useless BS that people have to sift through just to get to point.
So save your maybe this and maybe that. Either post a solution that works or keep your mouth shut. Especially if you don't even understand the question/topic. Guessing does't help.

I spent several hours messing with the build.prop and sifting through the source code to try and come up with something, but had no luck. I do know however it's somehow linked to SELinux being set to Enforcing.
Nothing's impossible.
And is it possible with the stock rom 2.3.6 ?

Special Kernel
Actually there has been a separate kernel made for CyanAOSP 1.4.1 which combines NeatKernel. So it's not a simple file edit, but I'll take it

UPPPPPPPP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, if anyone would like to run a 5.0.1 Google OS on a Archos G9 80S device (and currently basically verified only with this), download and extract the file
18_03_2015-20_58_50.7z
Installation (tested only with linux) :
- reboot into SDE menu and under "Format System" perform a "Reset Android & Storage" to clear all data of previous installations (this is really important for the first installation. Updating a existing installation (same major version) doesn't require this step !).
- reboot into SDE menu and under Developer Edition Menu -> "Export Data Partition"
- mount this usb drive
Code:
sudo mkdir <Mount_Path>/local
sudo cp archos.ext4.update <Mount_Path>/local/archos.ext4
sudo sync
sudo umount <Mount_Path>
- wait until the unmount process is done
- reboot into SDE menu and under Developer Edition Mernu , Flash Kernel and Initramfs : copy zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo on the new driver that appears on desktop/laptop
- Wait for reboot your devices : after reboot you can see Android prepares the system for a while .....be patient at least ~20 minutes for the first run!
What's new ?
------------ since 18_03_2015-20_58_50 -------------
tiler size modifications within kernel, suggested by stevemp (thanks!)

I now understand why TI exited the mobile SOC market - How can they expect to sell new stuff when the OMAP4xxx just won't die!
I shall give this one a whirl, It'll be good to get my archos off of the stock ICS.
I'm assuming you've dropped the recovery nonsense for that moment then?
is selinux off?
Is adb on a first boot? as I would recommend that folks leave it hooked up the computer after flashing that
way you can run adb logcat so you know what is going on. It sure beats watching a boot animation for ~20 minutes.
IIRC the 2012 nexus 7 took about 10 Minutes to boot so it's not far off.
I see you forked hotplugd! Let me apologize for the code quality, I was young and foolish and didn't know what I was doing ..
I think I might revisit it at some point or at least delete it lol
Anyway If I've got a bit of time / motivation I might have to have a cheeky hack on this , now that you've done all the hard work! .
I hope you don't mind but I've also given the file some re-hosting love just uploading it to devhost and androidfilehost too. I figured the space might aswell get used for something useful.. I'lll post the links when it's complete.:good:

Hahahah! BI ZAR! I check the forum for my Archos 101 Gen9 Turbo once every X months, and checked it today and see LOLLIPOP / CM12?! GREAT!
And whats the status? I use the tablet a lot still, so what is NOT working?
Edit: Flashed it to a Archos 101 Gen9 Turbo, and all is working, and fast as hell. GREAT!
I came from Freezenook's ROM BUILD7 (VERY happy user) but now tried this:
A MA ZING!
How fast and cool this Lollipop is on our (old) Archos (101) Gen9 (Turbo) tablet!!!
For now only compliments and almost everything seems to work, and this is a major and recommended step! Great OS this Lollipop!
Tested
Speed: Good (17.106 AnTuTu 5.3)
Sound/Video: Yes
Touch: Very good
Camera: Yes
Battery: Good
Size: Lot of free space (3 - 4 GB free!)
Memcard: NOT TESTED YET
USB: Yes (with Archos Panel app (USB & deep sleep))(USB storage works)
MicroUSB: Only charging (no devices?)
HDMI: NOT TESTED YET
Headphone: Yes (low volume though)
Apps: Some apps I normally use on my tablet and phones (KitKat or older) are not (yet?) compatible, and cannot install. I really miss some, like Archos Video (Free)(MediaCenter.apk). Is it possible to port this APK to our new Lollipop, I would love that. And the other apps are just not there yet I guess (busy making them Lollipop compat)?
Thanks a lot !!
Supergeil!!!
Still amazing to see that you're still at it @Quallenauge
I will definitely flash it as soon as I have time.
The only concern I have is the USB Port. Does it stil work in 5.0 ? For me it didnt in 4.4, so I flashed back as I needed my Archos to read my Media USB-HDD. I have a 101S btw.
Well as soon as I have flashed it, I am going to test it and try a few things, hope I'll get it working :fingers-crossed:

This is not a "nonsense". But it doesn't reflect my current needs. It would be cool to have a standard recovery image to format the data partition with f2fs (The kernel should support it right now!).
trevd said:

Yes. Currently I doesn't know how to enable selinux rules, because "rootfs" isn't the mounted loop device but the "real" root. So the file nods are forced to "ubject_r:unlabeled:s0" which doesn't fits.

Yes, the old binary is bound to an older libsigchain.so. So I had to recompile it. The code quality is far better than my output So thanks for your work!
I have an issue with the ril implementation. Mobile signal is turned on, but the datakey pppd stuff is not called. Do you have an idea whats going wrong - where can I look.
Should I use your implementation from android_hardware_ril_libarchos_ril ?

Wow, excellent! Thank you!
Could you please, write what you know that definitely doesn't and does work, as you did for older CMs?
Does ART work? Could CM 10.2 be updated to 12, or should we erase everything like with clean CM installation? HDMI?
@nilse: Yes USB (inc drives/storage) works (via Archos Panel app)!
@Bor-ka: Always do a full format/erase/factory settings etc, for SURE with a major leap like CM11 > CM12 or MORE!!
See my older post for a test of all hardware etc!
And again: Some apps I normally use on my tablet and phones (KitKat or older) are not (yet?) compatible, and cannot install. These apps are just not there yet I guess (busy making them Lollipop compat)?
I really miss some, like Archos Video (Free)(MediaCenter.apk). Is it possible to port this APK to our new Lollipop, I would love that!
thank you again for your great work.
Works on 80g9H 512 mb ram.
will test more functions and edit this post later.
@hackwerk, thanks!
For some reason unknown to me, there is no "export partition" in my SDE, so reformatting and copying to the /local/ is a little bit painful to me - should do it with adb shell.
But anyway, Archos Video Player is a show stopper for me. Since it is the only player that can natively play 720p/1080p movies on this tablet via DLNA/Samba. Tried MX player with latest codecs - no luck.
All
Did anybody compare deep sleep in CM with the stock ROM?
IIRC deep sleeped tablet with a stock ROM (4.*, 3.*) could lose only about 10 battery _a_week_ if not used. May be my memory deceives me, of course. But with CM 10.2 and no background tasks it drops by ~ 10% a night. (Didn't try Wakelock and Greenify though)

SDE: This ia an easy alternative way of installing the ROM (which I used)!
Video: Have you tried Skifta (good for network!) or other majors, like GoodPlayer, MediaPlayer Classic or the brand new official VLC Player (and thus MX Player))?
Maybe in combination with the "All Codecs for Archos Video" app?? Must be possible!
And maybe / I hope we can 'port' the MediaCenter.apk to Lollipop!
Battery: Is already good, but everyone talks about an app called Lux! And Greenify.
But yes Deep Sleep can be enabled in this ROM in the Archos Panel app too.
And maybe these famous mods can help too ( @Quallenauge: Checked them already I think?)?

Unfortunately I do not have "Enter the SDE menu on your device and select export data partition," in SDE.
See here, with screenshot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57243821&postcount=2
For video thanks, I'll try. Completely forgot about VLC. Tried MX already, it plays Ok from the internal memory/SD but gloriously fails over the network.
What Lux does is automagically lowers screen brightness, Yes, it is very useful app, but it will lower battery drain in the active mode, not in sleep when the screen is off. And it has a bad habit on my current cm10 installation - sometimes it restarts when I'm reading a pdf book at night (low memory?) and I get some two seconds of full brightness in my eyes. Ouch.. I think I'd revert back to manual "dimmer" or "blue light filter" and manual brightness adjustment.
What is strange, users at our local forum report that 5.0 is slower than the stock (?!) ROM on 80S 1.5 Turbo (4460) / 1GB RAM. I wonder what it will be like on my 1.2 (4430) / 512 RAM..
Thanks Quallange and all of you who helped him I saw your progress with 5.0 on github and I wanted to compile it myself but yeah I didn't had space for that sadly, I wanted to ask you flr it but then I see now that you got a cm12 thread when I am tomorrow home from school I will flash this :good:
Edit:
This song describes my 5.0 feeling:
http://youtu.be/p8sZcmQr6KY
It works till now pretty good. I am having the 512mb turbo version but after disabling things that I don't use it runs all smooth :good: o
I installed this Rom on my 101 g9 with 512 MB RAM.
It s like a new device. A lot less lagging and better ui response.
Only thing i found is that the keybord hides every now and then when i want to type some text.
Thanks a lot for this masterpiece of work *like*

I agree, much more snappy than CM11. I've also had the keyboard hiding issue (stock and Swype). Thanks for keeping the G9 alive Quallenauge :good::good:
G9 80H
i installed the rom but it places data on internal storage. hard drive is placed at /storage/sdcard1 and is read-only
how can i place data on the hard drive?
Note: besides the internal storage issue, the rom runs nicely.
Hi Quallenauge.
Realy magic this ROM, many thanks.
If with JB sometime I have only 80 MB RAM free and with KK 145, now I have over 200 !!!
But I have a problem, app ( iGO ) can't write on external card.
Tried with 3 different SDFix and manually in system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
With Root Explorer I can copy, but can't modify permision.
There is a solution to this problem ?
Thanks in advance.
