Soo... will we be getting this MoDaCo switch?

Basically the MoDaCo switch is the HTC ones ability to switch between the sense and google play edition roms.

Yeah that'd be cool

I've always wanted duel booting but with the saved data as well. My HTC inspire allowed (with an app) to duel boot but having to have backups and such.

Not sure with our HUGE 16GB we'll be able to dual-boot anything. We have trouble having one OS, lets not even talk about 2

LOL, seriously.... 16 GB should be more than enough. I still can't believe I actually ran out of space trying to do my second nandroid backup. There was only room for one.

16gb? Try 9.5. Its not enough to have what we want. I think it should be mandatory that they either put a second bootslot for system and one for user so we can get atleast 15gb or hell give us a 16gb sd card to go with it -.-

is it possible to repartition the memory?

Not without a truly unlocked bootloader.

I'm sure we could dual boot with a debloated TW ROM and the GE ROM. Can't be the stock one. Has too much crap on it.

Without an unlocked bootloader, doesn't matter the TW size because we can't repartition.

it would be easy...if both are on the sytem partition that is...
the Stock rom is about 1.4 gb, debloat that and you can get it down to about 950mbs, thats almost 500mbs freed...and most aosp based roms are about 300mbs
so if both OS for dual boot are kept on system partition we should have no issue
HOWEVER, i am unsure if this would work on our ATT model as we have a locked bootloader...i have a feeling that our bootloader will not play nice with this type of mod

[Q] S4 Memory Question

So where do I start....I'm new and as such I obviously have a question.....Hey all!
I've been following this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369130&page=36) for a while regarding rooting and flashing android 4.3 on my S4 (International LTE). I have done so and I love it.
My question is why can't I access all my internal memory (16GB of it), It only shows at 9.25GB ish free. I know the stock S4 used a lot of memory, but why, after a wipe/reset can I still not access it? I would have thought it would be gone.
Is it a case of it being needed for use by my newly flashed 4.3 ROM (is the ROM using it as the stock one did), or is it just sitting there being wasted? How could I wipe it and what are the implications of doing so?
If this has been asked before I haven't looked hard enough, please link me to the relevant thread and I'll dispose of this one.
Many Thanks
Anthony

You can't use it because it is the system partition. It is reserved space.

mk3 + safestrap, cyanogen?

I've looked for a while, I couldn't find an answer- can we get any amount of cyanogen running on our mk3 safestraps?

You read in the wrong places then. It's not possible yet. Might be in the future.

The first post explains everything. The blue portion shows what doesnt work with safestrap.

If this were possible there would be guides everywhere on how to do it. We don't continue to run stock roms because we choose to... We have no choice.

i got ya guys. You guys think these mf3's are ever going to be cracked or will they just be thrown aside as not worth the effort? also if you feel like it throw me what safestrap roms you like as i try and find one i enjoy.

I like hyperdrive, but the GPE 4.2.2 was my daily driver for a while. No USB took its toll and I changed it out last month.
AdamOutler says that several very difficult prerequisites must be met to cracking this very secure device. He should know, he's a bootloader God round these parts.

Unable to get Titanium to backup my apps.

I recently updated my Sprint S4 to NA7 at a Sprint store. I rooted it, but now the apps can't backup with TB. There seems to be a read/write problem which I've never experienced until now. Does anyone know how to correct this issue so the Internal storage (phone) can "communicate" with the SD Card? Thanks in advance.

This has been discussed a whole lot in the past few days. Check the dev section. There IS a solution. Just involves adding a line to a file

I really appreciate the response. I've been through a couple of developers threads (unknown forces, etc.) and couldn't find it. That's why I was hoping someone would provide a link to it. Once I get there, I will also have to teach myself how to add that line (or any for that matter). Thanks. I'm not a noob, but sure feel like one. This is the very first time I've had to ask a question. It's very humbling.
Sent using my SGS4 w/Ttalk 2

what version of titanium are you using though?

The sd write fix is posted in unknownforce's stock NAE thread, post #238 I believe

Thanks for the help...whatever the latest version is for TB.

No problem. Glad I could point you in the right direction

Where is my storage?

I just got a new N3 about 2 days ago. I've rooted by using the safestrap and installed JellyBeans ROM that I loved from my Note2. With only a couple apps installed, I'm getting conflicting data.
Application Manager says 16GB free and my largest app is Chrome at 73mb.
Storage also says 16gb free with applications of .94gb. However it also says I have Miscellaneous files at 6.77GB.
So I have a 32gb phone, and 1gb of apps leaving about 31 gb. I'm sure there is probably 6gb for the OS. I'm still missing roughly 6-8gb of storage.
I think it is because the Safestrap keeps the factory ROM in place and I put JellyBean in a virtual drive??? I have two roms maybe? But ROMs are only about 1.2Gb.
I'm not very high speed on this stuff.
Thanks for any explination you can provide.

Bingo. Safestrap essentially loads a new rom over stock (unless you flash in the stock slot), so that storage is not available.

Wrong forum section bro. Q A is where this belongs.

How large did you make your ROM slot? Even though the compressed ROM isn't that big, the ROM slot can be up to ~8gb. Also keep in mind storage reporting tends to be inaccurate while booted into a ROM flashes onto a SS ROM slot.
BTW, for future reference questions should go in the Q&A subforum.
