It's an app. whereby you can explore/edit/change the root files of your phone. Google it and you'll find the links to download. Or market, but have to buy....

Yes it's compatible, but can be used only in the default browser of the phone.

You can feel the difference in the responsiveness and performance of your phone.

It's an automated script. The only way to check if it's functioning is by going to
>settings > about phone > Mem info ---------> You'll find the avail mem increased to at least 35++ to 60 MB.
This is the Ram. Formerly before I have this script, my Ram memory highest is around 25++. Now it's averaging about 40++.

Android system cannot have totally free ram as this will result in the system crashing. But the more free ram you have, the faster and more responsive is your phone.

Thanks Folks.

That hotfix .zip file is for CWM installation. Once you've installed it in your phone, it'll still be there in the root of your sdcard, just like .apk files. If you don't want it, you just delete it.

Yes, some how, bluletooth affects some phones. But for mine, it's working okay.
For certain files (sending via bluetooth), you need to move them to the root of your sdcard. And in your case here,
try renaming the .apk file name to others, e.g. apk without the dot or any other names.

Added on September 23, 2011, 12:09 pmThat's the the bug compatibility problem with CWM. It's the mounting of the ext issue. So it's better
to use link2sd.

Delete S2E and install Link2sd.

I'm on v.1.3 hotfix3 test 3. Performance wise, it's responsive. And FM seek is working, but only with using
the Red Dial to seek, i.e. pushing the Red Dial left/right to seek. If you use the left/right arrows to seek, the
seeking will be lag and not responsive.

And did you try the S97 ramscript? I would strongly recommend you to use it.

Ow, that's too bad that you'll have to do all the stuffs again for your sdcard.

Read a few posts back for the S97 ramscript which I posted. Yeap, the script was updated and there's
really a difference. You can see the RAM memory increased after you've applied the script.

And BTW, v.1.4 will be released today as stated by Psyke.

You're right. Hf3 is actually meant for testing - hf3 test3. And Psyke has deleted the link after the testing. He's
preparing v.1.4 now.

Good to know S97 ramscript's working great for you folks.

Hi Folks,

CM Latest Release : http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/(d...axy5'-port/

v1.4 - 23 September 2011:

•Battery stats wipe?: You must wipe your battery stats in ClockworkMod for this release, since we are using a new kernel battery driver.

•Data wipe?: A regular data-wipe is only necessary if you have problems (as usual).

•Updated CyanogenMod source.

•Deodexed ROM: you can now install the full Google Apps package if you desire. Keep in mind that your first boot after upgrade/fresh install will be slower compared to previous versions, but regular boots will continue to be fast.

•Patch to prevent S2E from applying bad filesystem tweaks (won't interfere if you don't use S2E).

•Linked /cache/download -> /data/download by default (so all users can download large apps from Market, even if not using an app2sd method).

•Kernel: Updated battery driver (based on tass_battery.c 2.6.35 kernel driver) - this should reduce battery drain and prevent the phone from staying stuck on 99% battery for extended periods. Note: your battery stats will be erratic for one or two charging cycles - make sure to wipe your battery stats to help this process.

•Wireless: new driver with Wireless-N capability & better signal (based on Atheros source from Samsung I5508, with patches from 2.6.35 kernel).

•Updated to wpa_supplicant v6 (awext -> wext driver) & reverted to CM7 dhcpcd. This restores wireless signals to Froyo levels.

•Kernel: Updated fsa9280 USB switch driver (from 2.6.35 source).

•Kernel: change default TCP congestion control method to "veno" - should improve wireless reliability, especially if there is wireless congestion in your area. It can also improve wireless throughput under normal wireless conditions.

•Enabled hardware-accelerated 2D rendering (note: this feature wasn't working properly in the previous test hotfixes - it's working now, and there is no graphical corruption).

•Various small bugfixes.



Simple2Ext (S2E) Quick Guide:

Please make sure that you use ROM version v1.4 or later, as it includes a patch to prevent S2E's aggressive filesystem tweaks that cause corruption.•[Optional, but highly recommended]. To make absolutely sure that your /sd-ext partition is not corrupt, manually format the /sd-ext partition:

Code:
adb shell mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

or using Terminal Emulator :
#su
#mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

•Install S2E from Market.

•Open S2E, click the Menu key -> Settings. Enable "Mount as ext4" (mandatory). Do not select "Set read buffer", as the default value of 2MB will cause extreme lag on our phone. My port already sets the buffer to a more conservative value of 256KB, which I have found works best.

•Close the app and reboot.

•Open S2E again, select the folders you wish to place on the SD card. I recommend that you don't move the "Download cache" folder, as it makes more sense to leave it in internal storage (/data).

•Changes will take effect on the next reboot. Note: your dalvik cache will be rebuilt, so this reboot will be slower than usual.

NOTE : For those who are currently using Link2sd and want to use S2E, I would recommend :

1) Install the new version v.1.4 first (remember, for new rom versions, you need to install again - v.1.4 , hotfix (if any) and gapps.

2) After installing, using CWM, back it up. (Just in case S2E gives you problem or doesn't work).

3) Unistall Link2sd and follow the procedure/guide as above given by Psyke.

Enjoy!

EDIT : After installing the new rom version, the S97ramscript will have to be re-applied/inserted again.

I suggest you do this once and for all :

1) Backup your stuffs.
2) Repartition your sdcard with CWM
3) Wipe data
4) Flash cm v.1.4 , hotfix1 and gapps (Remember to wipe battery stats)
5) Then install S2E as per Psyke's guide.

This may inccur more work (re-installing your apps and stuffs), but this is what I did today as
this is a completely new rom (deodexed).

Now my phone is working great!

If you have problems with /sd-ext not mounting (with "Invalid argument"), and formatting /sd-ext in CWM doesn't work, just do a manual format:

Code:
with adb shell :
$ adb shell mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

or

For a manual format open terminal and type
su
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

If the system doesn't allow due to data usage in the ext, wipe dalvik-cache and redo this procedure again.
I did this too, and everything is fine.

Since you're on ver 1.2, you will have to disable mad2sd first :

Using Terminal Emulator :

#su
#mad2sd off
#reboot

1) Install v.1.4 , hotfix1 and gapps.
2) Perform wipe battery stats.
3) Reboot.
4) Install S2E and perform the settings as according to Psyke's guides.

Done.

Note : You need to have Ext4 to use S2E. If not then you'll have to use Link2SD.

Added on September 24, 2011, 10:29 pmS2E is more advanced and perform better than Link2sd. But it needs Ext4 to function.

You can check if you have or have not disable mad2d :

Terminal Emulator -

#su
#mad2sd

If you've disabled it, it'll show something like this :

* swapon - enable swap
* swapoff - disable swap
* tweak - tweak drives for speed

MAD Team ROM status :

Swap Size : xxxxxxKB

Don't worry about those stats. I don't have swap partition, but it shows my swap size.

Added on September 24, 2011, 11:05 pmYes, I've migrated to S2E from Link2Sd....and it's now working great!

My Freespace using S2E

I've installed about 100 apps and still have 115MB free !

This post has been edited by alexysc: Sep 24 2011, 11:14 PM

Better do a clean install as this v.1.4 is entirely a new rom - deodexed.
This means,

1) Wipe data
2) Wipe Dalvik cache
3) Wipe battery stats
5) Do a manual format of ext4 partition :

Code :

Using adb shell -

$ adb shell mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

or

Using terminal emulator -
#su
#mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2


4) Install v.1.4 , hotfix 1 and gapps. (better install the usual minimum gapps - official: minimal (20110613).
The first time I install the full gapps and it required a lot of space till my memory remains only about 50+ MB!

Then install S2E and perform the settings as according to Psyke's guide for S2E.

Then re-install your apps. You can back up with titanium and re-install back, but I don't use titanium as it sometimes may mess up the data files.

EDIT : I did not move my apps before uninstalling Link2SD. I just uninstalled it.

No need to uninstall your apps. Just uninstall Link2sd.

Use CWM to perform all those steps except No.#5 which you use using your phones's Terminal Emulator.

This post has been edited by alexysc: Sep 25 2011, 12:01 PM

Yes.

Yes you're right....except download cache.

Check if your S97ramscript is there :

>Root Explorer > system/etc/init.d -----> if it's not there, then re-install again.

Your device needs : Root and Kernel which supports init.d

There's no harm trying because this is a script.

On your device, open root explorer, go to > /system/etc/ ---> look if init.d folder is there or not. If not,
you can try creating a folder and name it init.d. If you can't create, then your phone's kernel doesn't support init.d.

Btw, stock froyo rom too doesn't support.

If you use cwm to restore, it'll restore back to v1.2. Did you use google sync? It backs up your contacts.

Btw, you can also back up your contacts using :

> contacts > menu button > Import/Export > Export to SD card.

All your contacts will be back up in a file in your sdcard. Next time you can use the Import from SD card option to import back the contacts to your phone.

There's nothing wrong. It means your ext4 dalvik-cache is in use. You'll have to wipe dalvik-cache to manually format.

go to > settings > accounts & sync > yourname@gmail.com ----> press sync
or
alternately just open market (as it require your google account).
