This is wonderful. Thank you Curioso.

is this the lastest cyanogen rom? It is good to create a thread like this.

just want to divide between user ... stock rom /custom rom.. if people dont need this thread. i will close it down.

exellent n gud for those using n having prob/doubt bout tiz rom.. TQ n Selamat Hari Raya

No, don't close it down as many are using cyanogenmod now. Yes it's good to separate stock and custom rom so there won't be confusion and
people will know where to get assistance correctly.

You have my support, Curioso.

don close it. all flashing and upgrading discuss here. more easier. any new update can post at 1st page.

really appreciate it.

for hotfix-1, we cannot use S2E anymore rite...its better u write it on..

if i want to installed htfix 1, i need to transfer all apps to internl memory rite? its written there to format /sd-ext.... how?

Use CWM to partition. When you use CWM to partition, it'll will also format your sdcard, so be sure to back up your stuffs first. CWM will let you choose the size of the partition (that is the EXT4) and Swap - choose 0 (Zero). Better don't use swap.

just to double check as im still in cm1.1..

Disable mad2sd OR Remove app if its fail
Reboot AND install 1)cwm 2)cm1.2+hf1 3)gapps
Reboot
Install L2SD and manually link app

any missing step??

1) Disable mad2sd. If your internal memory is not enough, the system will abort the disabling. Then use titanium back up to back them up and remove the apps.

2) If you want clean, recommended to use CWM repartition your sdcard. No need partition swap - select zero in CWM for swap.
If not, then it's okay as you are using 1.1

3) Reboot and install 1) cwm v.0.5. Reboot.

4) Install Link2sd first.

5) Install CM1.2 + hf1 + gapps.

6) Reboot and manually link apps.

6) Done.

No need to do data wipe if your current version 1.1 does not give you any problems. If you want to do data wipe, do it when you install
CWM v.0.5 (before you install CM v.1.2)

Added on September 1, 2011, 12:07 amCurioso, like Slaughterer mentioned, it's better you remove the S2E thing in the spoiler. If not those who are new to CM, will follow according to the spoiler's notes and install the S2E and will get problems.

Thanks.

btw, how's your Raya Holidays? Hope you're enjoying.

Run this script in the terminal emulator or adb to fix this issue :

# su

# mv download download.old
# mkdir -p /sdcard/cache/download
# ln -s /sdcard/cache/download download

reboot.

Thanx for the link...but its not really helpful...it just stated what also written in the cyanogenmod settings...

What setting do u all used??
bcause i read at madteam forum...someone adviced like this:
"Go to Settings>CyanogenMod Setting>Performance.
Disable Swap first, if you are using.
1. Set Compcache RAM Usage to 18%
2. Disable "JIT"
3. Disable "Enable surface dithering"
4. Set VM heap size to 24m
5. Reboot. Observe changes

This reduces lag."

#i used Go Launcher Ex before...very nice, but quite heavy n slow... ^^

More for Go Launcher Ex Fans - Alex and others. :-)
Now new widget released , Switch GoWidget

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.g...e=search_result

My settings :

1) Clockspeed : Min 245MHz , Max 729MHz
2) Compcache : 18% default
3) JIT / Surface Dithering : Enabled
4) VM heap size : 32m

The settings you mentioned can also be used. Actually these settings varies for each phone due to the apps installed. For e.g., when I'm not playing games or using Skype I use 602MHz as my max clockspeed. Like enabling surface dithering will give better image quality but there may be lags, and so forth.

Yes, you're right. Go Launcher Ex is quite heavy. I have 4 Launchers installed and use them alternatively - ADW (the system launcher, but I seldom use), Go Launcher Ex , Launcher Pro Plus and Zeam.

any tips on how to increase wifi performance??
any apps or setting to help this wifi issue...
^^

You can try Wifi blade from the market.

to all my fren..
im not able to enjoy cm1.2 as to many FC n it really slow
kindly show me the light how to do it rite as s2e is not working well with cm1.2+hf1..
currently flash back to cm1.1 n everything works well

btw why my sd become ext3 instead of ext4..
i've format it long time ago as ext4..

S2E has some bugs compatibility with CWM and CM. Don't use it. Instead use Link2SD. Read a few post back.

HELP!!
ok, long story short there were some things i didnt like about cynogen and my friend suggest that i get the official 2.2 - i tried to change my thing based on this website:

http://igyaan.in/2011/01/diy-how-to-instal...msung-galaxy-5/

i managed to do it all, but it wont start up - it just reaches to the "samsung" word and won't move forward. i don't knw what i did wrong...i even tried to get back the 2.1 however same story, won't move past the "android" word.
please help...if u know how.

You have to flash to downgrade.tar first if you're using CyanogenMod and want to revert back to Stock Roms.

Files required :

1) Downgrade .tar (Europe Froyo) Link : http://www.multiupload.com/OW3LQG8PZB
2) Malaysia Official Froyo Link : http://www.mediafire.com/?si659w0w9d9pt40 (password : malaysia)

Procedures :

1) Download the above Europe Froyo which is in German Language (don't worry about this).
b) Make sure you remove your SIM card. Flashing doesn't concern the SIM card but it would consume your credits unless you have monthly data package with your phone service provider.
c) Flash it with Odin.
d) After completed flashing, and reboot, don't set anything as it's in German (unless you know German).
e) Switch off Odin and also your phone.

2) Open back Odin and flash the 2nd File, i.e. Malaysia Official Froyo.

Done!

NOTE : After you have flashed the downgrade .tar, you can flash to any roms you want.

Thankyou very much, Amedeto8

nice!!! thanx amedeto8...

i used blade wifi fix already...but no much improvement... signal quite bad even though i use on next room...
is it bcause of phone or rom? ^^

What baseband are you using? I'm using JP6 and wifi and GPS is working very good for me. Even when I'm on the 2nd Flr with wifi router groundfloor, I can get good wifi reception.

JP6 also... GPS ok...just wifi quite weak...
hmm...

Did you try testing with other wifi....like your office, coffee shops...? If it's ok with other wifi, then could be your own wifi router problem. Try to do some testing....like resetting your router.

how do you install this actually? copy all the full rom to sd card? about baseband which should i choose?

This post has been edited by siksa: Sep 5 2011, 02:27 PM

What are you referring to? ClockWorkMod, Stock roms or Cyanogen roms?

clockworkmod and cyanogen roms.

Hi alex.. i'm currently still using CM7.1 V1.2.. BUT.. WITHOUT hotfix.. Still using S2E coz didn't flash to hotfix.. If I want to flash hotfix, what are the correct steps?? Just uninstall S2E & replace with link2sd? Do i need to repartition my sd card???

1) Disable mad2sd first. If you have lots of apps and your phone's internal memory is not enough, the system will abort the disabling. Then you have to either remove some of the apps are move them somewhere.

2) Uninstall S2E.

3) Flash hotfix1.

4) Install Link2sd.

5) Move back your apps to Link2sd.

No need to re-partition again your sdcard if you have already partitioned it before.

Added on September 5, 2011, 6:41 pm1) If you have not used/installed CWM before, you need to download the [CWM Ver. 4.0.1.5] v0.5 tar file and flash it with odin.
http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/(d...cret-projectgt/

2) Then download the three files - CM v.1.2 , hotfix1 and gapps and copy them to the root of your sdcard.

3) Install the three files with CWM.

This post has been edited by alexysc: Sep 5 2011, 06:41 PM

To flash version 1.2, we need to disable mad2sd first... I've disable mad2sd when in version 1.1... Now I'm already on version 1.2... Just without hotfix n still using S2E.. Need to disable mad2sd again?? I've tried to disable.. (Open Terminal Emulator/type su/type mad2sd off)but no respond.. Or just proceed to 2nd step onward?

Since you've disabled it, no need to disable again. Yes just proceed to 2nd step.

Just 1 2 contribute sumtink to this thread..

My question is out topic.. You're one of the most active member giving us guidance.. but why ur post count only 11 posts???

I don't know also..... but it doesn't matter.... what matters is that we can share and help each other.

post count only appear on serious talk. you all can check here for post UNCOUNT if you are unsure

I always active in car talk but din count also. LOL

btw alex my opera is not working i reinstall also useless. It always force close. I wonder why. i am using latest rom.

Serious talk??? We are serious here u know.. Those who dare & serious will flash... hahaha...

Anyway TQ alex.. successfully flashed to hotfix 1.0 with link2sd...

again, third post about go launcher ex even im not using it . hehe
New Bookmark Widget, http://golauncher.goforandroid.com/2011/09...dget-v1-0-beta/
not available on market yet.

all it installed but it keep rebooting(showing SAMSUNG startup and android),do i have to close odin and remove the cable before rebooting???

You only install CWM with odin. The other files, i.e. CM v.1.2 , hotfix1 and gapps should be install with CWM.

During the flashing of CWM (with odin), CWM will boot up and select reboot. The phone will reboot. Wait for odin to complete then only remove the cable.

odin turn blue (pass) then i removed the cable,after that just install the rom from sdcard via install zip from sdcard right???

Added on September 7, 2011, 12:17 pmdamn i ve already install all and reboot, still it only show SAMSUNG banner and android then reboot over and over. is there anyway i could restore to samsung original android 2.2.

This post has been edited by siksa: Sep 7 2011, 12:17 PM

1) After you've completed flashing CWM with Odin, reboot and remove the cable.

2) Boot up CWM - press OFF button > reboot > recovery ------> CWM will boot up.

3) Yes, > install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard.

4) Install in sequence (IMPORTANT) - i) CM v.1.2 ii) hotfix1 and iii) gapps

5) Reboot (DON"T DATA WIPE)

done what you have said still stuck at startup,i think i wanna flash back to 2.2,where to get it?

Read post #33 (previous page)

P/s : There must be some procedures which you did wrongly. If not, there should be no problem installing CWM and CyanogenMod.

Maybe you'll want to check :

1) Did you flash CWM version 0.5 .tar and NOT .zip?
2) Did you partition your sdcard correctly? That is all partitions must be PRIMARY?
3) Did you do data wipe when flashing CWM with ODIN? You have to select Data wipe when CWM boots up during the flashing.
4) Did you install (with CWM) the three files in sequence?

This post has been edited by alexysc: Sep 7 2011, 01:40 PM

flashed back to froyo,i guess i need to find out what i did wrong. thanks BTW.

so what's the stable version now for cyanogenmod?
currently using v1.1 hotfix 2..quite annoyed with the force closure of some apps.
thanks in advance

how do i copy my contacts to my sim card? I tried it using Contact2sim.. but when i put my simcard on my secondary phone(Nokia C1-00), nothing displayed

The current version is the most stable, fastest. I don't experience much forced closures....only once in a while.

hey guys...off topic here..haha..between acer iconia a500 and lenovo k1 u guys will choose which 1?

owh i see..just found out that psyke just released hotfix 2 yesterday.should i go for hotfix 1 or 2? lols

Added on September 8, 2011, 8:21 amhow do u check/change the baseband? i am getting quite a bad signal for my wifi.if i am right, i think my current baseband is I5500LUYJP2

This post has been edited by starz92: Sep 8 2011, 08:21 AM

Hotfix2 is released and it's better.

GUIDES/PROCEDURES TO UPDATE FROM v.1.1 to 1.2 + hotfix2 :

Required :

1) CWM latest version - v0.5 zip Link - http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/%2...cret-projectgt/
2) cm v.1.2
3) hotfix2
4) **Google Apps (20110613)

Link - http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/%2...alaxy5%27-port/

Procedures (follow these steps in order) :

1) Backup your current rom with CWM (recommended).
a) Press > Off button > reboot > recovery -----> when CWM boots up (If it doesn't boot up, Press > volume up button + off button for approx. 8 - 10 secs - this is normal) select > backup and restore > backup.
b) After the backup is completed, select > reboot system now.

2) Disable mad2sd :
a) Use Terminal Emulator -

#su
#mad2sd off
#reboot

b) If you have a lot of apps installed, the system will abort this disabling as the phone's internal memory is limited. You can either move your apps to Titanium backup or uninstall some of your apps. But it is recommended not to use Titanium backup as it may create problems for data apps restoration. Uninstalling and re-installing back the apps manually one by one may be troublesome, but it's worth the effort as from my experience, this does not give any problem.

3) Install the three files in sequence -
a) cm v.1.2
b) hotfix2
c) Google Apps (20110613)
d) reboot

3) Go to market, download and install Link2sd.
a) On first start of Link2sd, it will prompt you to mount your sdcard's ext.
b) Tick these - Auto Link and in the Auto link settings - all the three checkboxes.
c) When you re-install your apps, they will automatically link to Link2sd. If not, you can select > Create Link.

4) Re-install your apps.

5) Done!

NOTE :

1) ** Google Apps (20110613) - This package does not contain all the google apps as the phone's internal memory cannot hold all of them. If you need any google apps which is not available in this package, go to this link -

http://android.modaco.com/topic/335141-add...pps-2011-07-12/

a)Don't install the package, instead install each one individually (Option 1b).

2) Check baseband , go to > settings > about phone > baseband version

a) If you have never flashed/changed your baseband before, and your phone is purchased here in Malaysia, your baseband should be either
I5503DXJP6 or JP7.

b) You can get basebands from Madteam - http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/basebands/ or samfirmware.
Baseband can only be flashed with ODIN and NOT CWM.

c) Basebands are only related to the connectivity between your phone and telecommunication signals from the service providers and GPS signals. It has little to do with wifi signals which is related to the supplicant script in the rom. Therefore, your low wifi signals is most probably an issue with either the script or wifi router.

just updated 1st post. thanks alexsyc

Curiouso, maybe you should also remove the S2E thing in your spoiler. Thanks.

ya, done :-)

if already use link2sd in v1.2+hotfix1, did i need to reinstall it again,
or just update v1.2+hotfix2+gapps??

Folks,

After installing the hotfix2, you may noticed that your internal memory will reduce drastically (for my case, from 103MB to 19.83 MB.

To rectify/increase back your internal memory, open Link2sd, and manually link each apps again , usually the [Link dalvik-cache file] and the [Link library files].

After finished linking all your apps, your internal memory will increase back as those apps' files will be moved to your sdcard's ext.

---

Added on September 8, 2011, 11:37 amJust update hotfix2 ONLY. NO v1.2 or gapps re-install.

You only install again gapps if you are installing a new rom version.

This post has been edited by alexysc: Sep 8 2011, 11:39 AM

my link2sd apps seem to be disappear after i update to v1.2 hotfix 2..any solution on that? i had try reboot once...

You must have a lot of apps that couldn't be moved to internal memory when you update hotfix2 and therefore, lost.

I too had my internal memory decreased from 103MB to 19.83MB. But I linked them back and my internal memory increased back.
See my previous post here.

once again,thanks a lot alex!! after following all your steps above,i am getting 109mb of free memory for my internal storage but why my memory info at the "about phone" category shows 47mb/183mb??
btw, why my baseband is jp2(i bought it in malaysia and i never flashed/changed my baseband before).should i change it to jp6 or jp7? telecommunication wise i did feel a bit unstable sometime.

This post has been edited by starz92: Sep 8 2011, 04:38 PM

ya..i had a lot of apps until i left 8 kb just now..so shock...haha
oh ya..i see ur solution d..but my 1 some how is disappeared d..i cant find it at link2sd under linked..got any idea?

1) Don't worry about that memory reading in the "about phone" - that is the ram usage. The actual space memory is at >settings > storage and at Link2sd.

2) If your line/data and GPS is ok, then you don't need to change. But if you want to change, just download the baseband file from the link I gave in the previous post, and just flash it with ODIN. For Malaysia, JP6 or JP7 is recommended.

Added on September 8, 2011, 5:08 pmLike I mentioned, they were lost because your phone's memory is not enough to hold them all. So no choice, you've got to re-install them individually manually.

i see.thanks
btw, anyone using blackmarket alpha apps and faced any problem downloading apps from there>? As for me,i keep on getting "problem parsing with package".Same goes with my sis's galaxy ace. so i am wondering if anyone get the same problem i did?

Facing some FC's when Link2SD is in Auto. After installing it, proceeded to install some apps. Installed Papago first then L2SD did its work but after linking, I tried to open Papago it FC. I installed it again and then it worked.

Faced the same thing when I tried Sygic but this time, it just didn't want to open. It kept FC'ing. I unchecked Auto Link and re-installed Sygic and then I managed to run the app.

Anyone else with this kinda issue? For now, I have un-checked Auto Link

Added on September 8, 2011, 11:15 pmI never tried Blackmarket, for me I am using AppChina if I have the need for some eherm apps
Even tho it's in Chinese, but I can roughly figure out the menus. Some apps are in Chinese language but most are English

This post has been edited by josenigel: Sep 8 2011, 11:16 PM

This is a guide for someone from froyo like myself without knowledge of CWM or watsoever.


1) After you've completed flashing CWM with Odin, your phone will bring the CWM menu.

2) Everything will be done here on until finish.

3) Oh ya make sure u already have ur sd card inside (no need simcard can oso).

4) Download cm1.2, hotfix2, and goggleappt into ur pc.

5) Under CWM menu, mount ur sd card. Transfer files from pc into ur sd (memory card).

6) Go find back the files in CWM menu, > install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard.

7) Install in sequence (IMPORTANT) - i) CM v.1.2 ii) hotfix2 (get latest update) and iii) gapps

8) Reboot (DON"T DATA WIPE) and ur now using Gingerbread (2.3.5)!!


IT'S SUPER FAST!

Thanks for the guidance from everyone here!!!

This post has been edited by technod: Sep 9 2011, 03:34 AM

I don't have the problems you mentioned. Link2sd is working well for me.

Tip : Don't link Link2sd to sdcard. Leave it in the phone's internal memory. This should work well.

any idea why my internal memory decreased to 57mb from 100mb overnight? i clearly remembered when i updated to v1.2 hotfix 2 yesterday,it was 100 mb.i only installed 2 games and all the games had been linked to sd card by link2sd.

Open Link2sd, go to > menu > more >>>> Relink library files and also >>>Link dalvik-cache files. Your internal memory should be restored back to normal.

With Link2sd, the internal memory normally remains stable no matter how many apps you installed, EXCEPT system apps which are stored in the phone's memory. System apps are default launcher, contacts, calculators, default camera....etc., etc. These apps shouldn't be removed unless you know how to replace them with another similar app like default launcher with another launcher.

I did a re-partition using CWM and I only realized just now that the partition is ext3 and not 4. Is this typical? I think thats why I was having issues with my L2SD. I set it to ext4.

Whether it's ext3 or ext4, it doesn't matter for Link2sd. Even with FAT32 partition (2 partitions) it'll work. The only difference is that ext4 is more advanced and therefore faster. But if your sdcard class is lower than class 6, there is no difference. Only with class 10, there'll be obvious difference in the speed.

If you Link2sd is working, then your sdcard partition is already recognized and mounted. If not, it won't work.

Ah I see. Thx for clearing that up alex

---

Added on September 9, 2011, 5:02 pmWhen you 1st install L2SD, you are made to chose an option of the 2nd partition. Which do you set it to, ext3, ext4 or FAT32? Sry still a noob with this

This post has been edited by josenigel: Sep 9 2011, 05:02 PM

Mine's ext4. I've tested choosing ext3 and L2sd cannot recognize and mount my partition. Same with ext2 which I tested. Finally choosing ext4 works alright. This means even if you're not sure of your partition ext, it doesn't matter. Just keep on choosing one which can be mounted, and that's the partition type on your sdcard.

i tried to relink library files but it force closes everytime i clicked it(process.com.duak.link2sd).as for link dalvik cache files,there's no files found when i clicked it.

Delete or move file -

05mountsd in /system/etc/init.d

to sdcard then rebooted the phone because you may have that script which conflicts with L2D.

To do this, use root explorer, go to -

system/etc/init.d, press mount rw on top right corner, now simply move 05mountsd to sdcard and reboot.
