This is the 2.1 Eris OTA(JULY) With Root, A2SD, and Overclocking.
This is for people that like the SENSE UI, and have lots of apps.
I was using PLAINJANE and filled up the internal Memory, so I went about looking for a way to keep the rom and have all my apps.
Presenting PlainJaneT2 V2.0 Screenies attached New Fonts!
Change Log:
Code:
[B][U]PlainJaneT2 v1.0[/B][/U]-Added A2sd to Original PlainJane from Jcase.
[U][B]PlainJaneT2 v1.1-1.4[/B][/U]-Various Deodexed Versions of
the Rom that never were made public.
[U][B]PlaingJaneT2 v2.0[/B][/U]
-Based on JULY OTA
- Fully Deodexed without any FC (This was a Killer to figure out...)
- Added the Newest A2sd Preview 4
-Added Scripts to rom to enable ext mounting on linux
systems, get cpu Info, make system folder rw, and the ability to
zipalign all apks.
-Added Modified boot screen.
-Changed Default Fonts.
-Made it all stock (some People were asking to leave the apps untouched.
^^(I made a flash zip you can you use to get rid of the all BloatWaredelete)
Remember to BACKUP your sdcard before doing the step below!!!.
Things you need to know and do.
How to set up your sd card for a2sd:
Code:
1. Boot into recovery
2. Scroll down to PARTITION SDCARD
3.Click On PARTITION SD
4.Click trackball to confirm
5.Select Swap size 32mb is fine
6.Select ext size (I did 768mb you don't have to make it that big)
7.Click again to partition sd card.
8.Go to PARTITION SD menu and choose SD:ext2 to ext3
This New A2sd Makes it so when you go to the data/app folder, it actually takes you to the /system/sd/app folder. So when you use Root Explorer to look at the data/app folder you are actually looking at the /system/sd/app folder.
You know you are in the /system/sd/app folder in root Explorer because at the very top it says something like this "92.88MB used 593.51MB free" as we all know the Eris doesn't have that much space in the data/app folder. The space in the data/app folder might still be going down because the cache isn't moved to the sd card by default, if you want to change this you can change it yourself.
For a2sd help:
Code:
adb shell
su
a2sd help
Use of scripts:
Code:
Go into terminal emulator or adb and run these scripts
-"sys -rw" Will Make system Read and Write
-"sys -ro "Will Make system Read Only"
-"usb -e" Will mount Sdcards Partitions" On linux
systems will mount the EXT partition. Sorry windows people.
"usb -d" Will unmount the sdcard Partitions..
-"cpuinfo" Will give you the OverClock settings,
giving you the max, min, and what you have it set to.
-"zipalign_apks" Does just that zipalign all apks.
To change the over clocking settings Download Setcpu from this thread Here
Remember to Wipe Factory/cache Before flashing this rom.

I hope this helps someone, I Had a hard time getting a2sd to work because there isn't that much documentation on how to enable the boot.img for a2sd, now people don't have to go through what i did to get a2sd on 2.1 stock rom.And Jcase Gave me his ok.(In case you were wondering)

your freakin kidding me!
this is what ive been working on...well mine has a little tiny bit more but still...haha im actually like halfway through the upload

This rom is heavy, just over 100MB. You have to realize though that this is not an AOSP or even SLIGHTLY Vanilla rom, its completly stock based.
The fact that its Sense based is also going to have some effect on battery life. Don't expect to come from White Widow and see the same kind of battery life.
This rom also takes a HELL of a long time on first boot. Thats because of the de-odexed files.
[SIZE="4"]Installation[/SIZE]
Wipe data/dalvik and flash like normal from recovery.
If you experience FC's on the first boot, you may need to wipe your SD-ext. This can be done from the Recovery Menu under the "wipe" sub-section.
[SIZE="4"]Partition-ing [/SIZE]
-Make a backup of everything on your SD card.
-From the recovery menu choose Partition sdcard.
-Choose Partition SD
-Select the defaults for all the sizes.
-Choose SD:ext2 to ext3
-Copy back all of your files.
[SIZE="5"]Bugs[/SIZE]
-None...This rom just works.

mine is simple though, its just for people that like the simplicity of Plain Jane but filled their internal memory.
I Really wasn't trying to step on anyone toes, my bad.
This is so people have to waste their time, like me, getting a2sd to work on plain jane like i did.

oh your not stepping on toes.
if anyones stepping on toes here its me releasing smash right after this.
i was kinda worried to release mine-i actually PM'ed you hoping we could work something out without either one of us getting pissed at the other
if you have no problem with it though ill release it once the upload finishes.
haha i just think its ironic that i kept this a secret and you were working on the same thing-i was in no way accusing you of stealing or any of that BS.
best of luck to you, feel free to hit me up anytime. id be glad to help you out with this or any other project you plan on starting.

Mmm send me a pm and I'll try to help you out. Did you partition your sd card? That's the only thing I can think that will cause a boot loop.

Good release ....forgot how smooth Sense can be

Quick question about a2sd: Say you flash to another ROM that also uses a2sd. Do you have to delete any app data on the sd or does the new ROM overwrite it, or neither? LOL. Thanks for this ROM! just flashed and will let you know if there are any issues.

One random reboot. Used my phone for a sec, set it down, looked over and heard the vibrate and it was rebooting.

I have been using this rom for a while now and havent had reboots, If you didn't wipe the EXT partition its probably what caused it because most rom's are using the old version of a2sd and not the new one and it might be causing reboots.
If it reboots again let me know so i can see what's causing it.

Had another reboot. Before I flashed, I setup my storage card exactly as your instructions said. Only thing is, how do you know if the apps are being installed on the sd? If I go to data/ there is no app folder but there is in sd/data. Also I read on the darktremor thread about davlik cache decreasing and that can also be moved to storage card. Not sure how to do that though. I know it's not your ROM. Maybe I should try completely wiping and partitioning the card again?
edit: Removed sd card from device and installed apps lose icons and FC. So I guess they are installed to sd. Only thing is the phone rebooted when I reinserted the sd card. Suggestions? Thanks for your help man!!
edit: Oh man it's actually an endless reboot. What to do....
edit: Did a battery pull while it was looping and it booted up fine. No clue whats going on. I'll let you know if it reboots again. Oh man also, after the successful boot, my cd card seems corrupted. In astro, every item is just lines and square with file type "2". I'm going to wipe, repartition and try again.... wish me luck!!

Yeah its bad to pull sdcard while the phone is on because thats where all your apps are installed on, if you pull card your phone will look for the apps but wont find them thus causing the fc's
I would do a clean flash and wipe because it sounds like you messed up your sdcard when you pulled it. I've been running this rom for about a week and haven't had a reboot or anything like that.
Make sure you backup your sdcard if you don't want to loose any of your pictures and stuff.
EDIT: make sure you do a ext wipe also.

Hey t2noob! Well I think I have it this time. I was worried that somehow my sd card was trashed. I was trying to wipe the ext and recovery was giving me an error saying that it was unable to wipe. I had to wipe it using ADB. I completely wiped like 3 times, repartitioned, flashed, and everything seems to be ok. I'm thinking my sd card is possibly on it's way out. Also, I'm hesitant to try putting the Davlik cache on the card. I'll check back in tomorrow if there are any issues. Everything else seems fine though. Do you know of anyway to check and see if there is an issue with the sd card or do they just crap out when their time is up?

A few words about the Optional But Totally Awesome Steam Kernel
Ok, so hopefully you read a bit about it in SzutpY's post. I compiled Steam recovery in English and made a kernel utilizing it. The kernel is similar in many ways to the Universal Lagfix Kernel SztupY also created. It has many of the same lagfix schemes, kernel tweaks, etc, again, all with a touchscreen interface. Other than Steam recovery, this kernel is identical to my 12-23 oc/uv kernel, so it's overclocked, and undervolt configurable, and it should be just as stable as that one.
Do not attempt to take the zImage with Steam recovery and place it in a flashable zip. You'll be a sad panda if you do. I'd advise waiting a few minutes after your system has booted to flash with Neldar's app. If you're using Odin, or Heimdall, reboot to download mode and flash like normal. Those are the options, either Neldar's app (AND NOT Tuxility!!) There are issues with flashing this via redbend_ua - the regular kernel can be flashed via redbend_ua, Steam cannot be.)
Steam recovery is based on ClockworkMod, but you have a touchscreen interface at recovery. Steam has many options to lagfix your system. So, you can have an all ext4 system (including /system), an all jfs system (again, including /system) or something in between. Read through sztupy's posts about Steam, or spend some time playing with it. I have to admit I was a little skeptical of it at first, but after using it for the last week or so, I absolutely love it.
If you're doing a filesystem conversion from Steam recovery, the zeroth thing you should do is check to make sure you have enough room on your SD card to copy /system, /data, /dbdata, and /cache. Then, make a backup. Occasionally after a filesystem conversion, the system will bootloop. Performing a three button forced reset and rebooting solves this. (In my experience at least. Like I said, make sure to backup first.)
If you do choose a No-RFS lagfix in Steam - Make sure you disable it before flashing another kernel/ROM. No-RFS uses a fake /efs to get a completely-rfs free ROM (only works if /system is set to be mounted as rw).
If it seems as though you've lost su (root)
So, I don't know why Steam does this, but the reason people were losing su was because it was automatically mounting /system nosuid. So, to fix this, there's probably more than one way to do this, but an easy way is to go into Steam, under boot options, select 'Always run adb as root' or something like that. Then reboot, open a terminal and type
Code:
mount -o remount,suid /dev/block/stl9 /system
. That will remount su access to /system (pretty important ), and then you will have root again, and Steam is finally usable again. Flash another kernel or whatever) I was really hoping I could blame this on something MikeyMike did, hmm...I may still find a way. ( Alternatively, it seems if you do a filesystem conversion on /system, /system will be remounted suid so you won't have to go through this, and I think /system conversions don't end up in boot loops like /data and /dbdata.

SztupY - Steam recovery is the shiz.
raspdeep, neldar, xan
I'll probably edit this a few more times as there will be things that I want to add but have slipped my mind for the moment.
Ok - I uploaded a copy of the Steam kernel here. It deserves its own thread and it will get one, just don't feel like doing it right now. Read through this post, realize there are some errors with filesystem conversion. Make sure you do backups, if you get into a boot loops, do a hard reset and reboot normally, you should be good. This is meant to be flashed via Neldar's SGS Kernel Flasher app, or something like Heimdall or Odin.

[ROM][CWM-Backup] CWM Backups of CM9/ICS's for 'reboot' victims

Here are CWM Backups of actual ICS ROM's.
Due to the fact, that a lot of people still have permanent 'reboot' problems with actual ICS ROM's after flashing, i decided to open this thread. So if you belong to that group of people, i'll provide downloads of 'clean' ICS CWM backups, which should work in most cases.
Beside backups of ROM's from the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406317 i'll also provide a backup from the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425865 which was discussed a lot because the original author of this thread was not the person who developed that ROM. He just copied the work of an other developer from the Galaxy-Mini section and simply replaced some files to get it running on the Galaxy ACE. So for the last thread, all credits go to XDA-Developer squadzone for his fantastic work.
The here provided downloads are CWM backups and can not be flashed !
Note: because i use a2sd i have an ext4 partition on my SD. When you do a backup via CWM this partition is also included in the backup, even if it's empty. So if you don't have an ext partition you'll probably get an error that 'sd-ext' could not be formatted/restored. You can simply ignore this error and reboot.
- You MUST have Clockworkmod 5.0.2.6 installed !
Instructions:
- download the package of your choice
- unpack the download
- copy the resulting folder to your phones sdcard to folder /clockworkmod/backup
- reboot to recovery
- (optional but recommended) make a backup of your ROM
- do a 'wipe data/factory reset'
- (optional) format your system partition
- choose 'backup and restore'
- choose 'Restore'
- select folder which you have copied to your sdcard before
- start restore
- reboot
If it starts in german language, you can change that under 'Einstellungen' -> 'Sprache & Tastatur'
Here are the links:
ICS (legacy7) from TEAM ICSACE: http://www.4shared.com/zip/HlgxY1jn/ICS2011-12-31.html

ICS Port from Galaxy Mini (squadzone): http://www.4shared.com/zip/GWokGjEi/cm9king_cwmbackup.html
I'll update the backups and links on a regular basis, as soon as there are new releases in the main threads.

Yap, you must have an ext4 partition on your SD-Card. You can create one via CWM. But before you do that make a backup of your SD-Card to your computer because preparing your SD-Card via CWM will completely wipe your content...

[Discontinued] Helly Bean Cbalt Edition V26 Test Online

Here is just some of what is changed. Mine isn't just a stock port, mine has stuff removed. dave71670's Salty Rom is in the second post.
Now without further ado, here is my V26 Test Release
Wipe Data/Factory Reset/Wipe Dalvik Cache/Flash Rom/Flash Addons/Advanced Fix Permissions In Recovery. If your power button randomly stops working from flashing my rom or anything else happens and you blame me I am going to laugh at you. If you do not know what you are doing, don't attempt to flash it. If you break it you fix it, I will help, but I am not responsible for anything.
My V26 Test Build = http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?iv6mz6cr82l663p
V26 Addons (Same As V25) = http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ja32agzq3o82ky3
Removed Apps & Files Folder (Some of them are newer than the old folder) = http://www.mediafire.com/?c0f17oxct7dq5
I am calling it a test release at this point, since I haven't ran it more than about an hour. I haven't had any problems though. If coming from CM10 or something else you will more than likely need to flash twice, first flash will go to around 15% and flash the kernel and reboot, second flash will go all the way and say install complete.

I would download this on your current rom and back it up as long as you imei is correct, just to have it for all future releases of my rom or whoevers rom you decide to go to in case you ever lose your EFS folder which has your IMEI. It is a small app, is free and works great, I tried it by backing it up on my phone and then deleting my efs folder, then restoring it later with this program after I got the generic imei error. Credits go to Helroz for the app

More Build.prop tweaks

Edited Build.Prop Look In About Phone
Kernel in rom is always the latest VC Kernel
Updated GPS Config
Changed Boot Animation, Wait for a few seconds on boot up if you think it froze, It did not.
Changed Modem To KC1
Changed Updater.sh to Flash Modem if you have a modem already installed or not.
I have also created what I would like to call Cbalts Launcher Program. I have 4 launchers in the removed files folder, Apex, Nova, Trebuchet, And Zeam. You can flash any of them and it will remove the default zeam, to get zeam back flash Removal Tool.zip which will remove all 4 of the launchers if you decide to install all four of them at once. Then reflash the launcher of your choice and that will be the only launcher you have. If you do not reflash a launcher after flashing Removal Tool.zip you will not have a launcher. All launchers remove zeam, but the zeam launcher, I set it up that way since zeam is the default launcher. If you want a new launcher, tell me your choice and link me to it and I will make a flashable zip for it.

Okay, since someone else already grabbed above me, I gotta say this.
This boot animation (cbalt) is beyond atrocious. The idea is not to have as much **** fly over the screen as possible. The last image looks like a 10 year old + ms paint.
Look at slim ics' animation. That one does it's job, looks good and classy.
I know I'm coming off as a troll, but it needs to be said.
I look forward to the rest of the ROM. Thanks a lot. I do really appreciate it.

I think the separate thread was a good idea.

Cool!
I may check this ROM out.
You may want to create a zip file for those who want to add back on any of the removed stuff.
I woud not need this as I use Titanium Backup.:victory:

factory reset?
is factory reset really necessary? i thought wipe data, cache partition and dalvik would be sufficient. and fix permissions too.
charging my cappy now. will report on the rom later.

Probably a wise idea since you are coming from a different JB ROM or an ICS ROM or GB.
I would imagine that subsequent flashes of this ROM would not require a factory reset or /system wipe once you are on this ROM.

Wipe data and factory reset are one and the same. Next time you flash take a look in recovery.

now that you mentioned it, it does looks familiar 'wipe data / factory reset' in cwm. initially i thought factory reset means formatting internal storage. i don't want that to happen.

I personally recommend a wipe every update of this rom, just to help avoid issues, since dirty flashing is never ideal. Yes you can dirty flash, would I do it no, I wipe every time even if it is just a little change I did in the rom, I like to try and avoid issues as much as possible.

Full wipe it is - format /system, too?
Anyways, you need to update your sig/link:

Yes I would do that to. Why do I need to update my sig? That link works. I still spend most of my time in CWM Flashing roms (mostly my versions though) .

Sounds like you've got a great rom here. The change log is GREATLY appreciated. Could you fill me in on the difference between "my v13" and devil v13 please. Do the "nightly 8/1 changes" apply to only the devil edition or your v13 as well? Thank you!

Most of the difference is the stuff that is removed from devils version in my version. There are some other differences, such as some build.prop changes, updater-script changes, gps changes and some other stuff. If you look at the first post it will show must of the stuff I removed.
PS I am working on CWM Flashable Zips to Restore All Apps I removed and then Individual Zips to restore just one app that you want or more than one. Also working on a flashable zip to restore media aka notifications, system sounds etc.

Yes they do, since his rom is my base that I improve more to my liking since I like a slimmer rom personally and dont use all the stuff I removed. He rom is an amazing rom and is perfect if you use all the stuff he includes.

quick question, if i am on Devil Edition V13 Aka 0801 Build, but want to try cbalt's V13 Release, does that require a wipe / factory reset? or could i just wipe cache and dalvik and flash?

pros - quick boot time, snappier than DerTeufel1980's V10 (rom which i was from), benchmarks show better scores than my previous rom (antutu, quadrant, linpack,nenamark,smartbench)
cons- not sure what you want to show in your bootanimation but i've seen better ones. changelog contains negativity. i don't know what happened between you and those 3 people but including rage in your rom does create some perceptions among users, at least me.
nonetheless, keep up the good work! with less anger perhaps

Was my first animation, haven't had time to create another one and improve on that one. If you don't like what I put in the changelog and don't like the rom, then don't install it. Simple as that. I make the rom primarily for me and share it to be nice.
Btw im not angry.
Updated OP-Included Folder with all removed files.

Wasn't sure which thread to post in:
Running Der Teufel version and only issue I'm noticing is SDCard not being mounted after a reboot. Have had to go into Settings -> Storage -> select Mount SDCard each time. This also causes my default ringtone/notification to show as "Unknown" and has to be reset.
Anyone else having similar issues?

[Q] Sd-ext NOT visible in CWM, how to backup & restore sd-ext?

Hello guys,
I try level best to find the solutions to the problems on my own, but at times like this i have no way other than to bother you.
Here's the problem:
Cannot see the sd-ext partition in the CWM recovery.
Do not get the backup of my sd-ext partition after making backup of the device.
'Restore sd-ext' IS available in 'Advanced Restore' options, but when to use since there's no backup being made.
and so every other problem which may arrive due to this.
Details:
Rom: Jellyblast3.0.4
Kernel: RepencisV7 Final
CWM tried: cwm-madteam-galaxY.zip, CWM_bla_bla.zip, CWMv5-Skin1980-GT-S5360.zip
Everything is in native rfs format
sd-ext is formatted with ext2
Using A2sd by Darktremor
sd-ext IS mounted and working fine(screenshots)
No additional tweaks by me.
Only ten scripts in init.d(attached)
CWM Error Report: ...backing up cache..sd-ext not found..
skipping backup of sd-ext. Creating md5 sum..backup complete. (log attached)
Please let me know..
if any other data/detail is required.​
I don't know what's the cause of this problem, though i feel like it might be something related to the kernel.
And also since its Repencis kernel i don't have any clear idea about whom to approach!
And thus made an individual thread for this peculiar problem.
Hopefully, looking forward to find a solution to this problem.

Thankyou sir for your kind interest, but i have used that CWM also.
And talking about kernel sir, i would first prefer to solve this problem then think of opting to 'alternative' solutions.
Because i prefer full a2sd support, i settled with this kernel after testing many.

The only kernel that supports backup of ext is whitesxp kernel
Flash this kernel and the perm cwm included with it will support backup of ext partition although creating a nandriod backup is much slower than with other kernels

Hello marcussmith2626,
I once also tried Merruk kernel and it also used to make the backup of sd-ext when making backup of the device.
In fact. . .its a common thing.
Whenever backups are being made, if sd-ext is present then its backup is automatically made by CWM.
The problem is, in my case its not happening like that.
And about WhiteXP's kernel..
do it support a2sd?
I did try this kernel too. . .but didn't use it for long..since appeared as if it was draining my battery fast.

You sure? I swear I remember using the CWM with whitexp's kernel 1.3.3 and I lost my sd-ext data upon backing up and then restoring.

Use whitexp's kernel and your ext partition should be ext3 . I noticed that Ext3 format is the only format which supported backing up and restoring sd-ext partition successfully. That's my experience . You may like to try.

It detected sd-ext..:good:
manually mounted it..:good:
made the backup of sd-ext..:good:
checked it in sd card..:good:
Restored it..:good:
All good and working :highfive:
But how is it working, when other CWM of the same version (i.e 5.0.2.6) are unable to detect my ext2 partition?

Well, I don't think that's needed now. I already found a working version of CWM which solved MY problem.

HI I'm having the same problem. Can you repost the version that found your sd-ext to see if it solves mine.

I have it recognised on a previous rom but now it won't restore the backups to it.

Clicked on the correct link and it worked for me.

i have been to every single stinkin forum about this topic, and it seem that you guys know what you are talking about- my phone- galaxy s gt-i9000 or something like that- long story short- battery died. nothing else happened, and now it will not boot back up. I figured out how to get to the dark core recovery- yet wiping, restoring, mounting, unmounting, formatting, etc- i get the same message- ERROR. I downloaded something named "kies" thinking that would help (looking at a different forum) and it doesnt even recognize that the phone is connected via USB. I just bought this stupid phone from a "friend" 3 months ago, and i really cant afford to get another one. I, in the mean time, am stuck using my daughters old phone that looks like a spider decided to hide behind the screen and make a home for itself. Please HELP!!!!
ps- i am not as smart as i may have sounded above, so please be gentle and use terms, (actually links to take me to some site that will just do it all for me I prefer LOL) that a really cute hot 20 something blonde could understand smootches!!! and PS- i used to be blonde, not anymore, no offense to all others out there.:silly:
