[GUIDE] How to keep the old CM10 partition layout & stay up to date with changes

OK, so the debate over partitioning in CM10 is all but done and I'm not going to discuss it here.
I've been building CM10 for my own use with the partition layout change reverted and this works nicely for me. But what about people who can't compile the source for themselves (for whatever reason)?
That's why I'm posting this brief guide to what I'm calling "fudgedating" (its like updating). Using the method below you will be able to stay up to date with all the CM10 nightly updates (except kernel changes) without compiling or doing anything difficult.
ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE FLASHING
I'VE TESTED THIS WITH CM10 NIGHTLIES FROM 23082012 & 22082012 BUT IF IT FAILS TO WORK FOR YOU THEN I'M SORRY, THAT'S LIFE. RESTORE YOUR BACKUP & MOVE ON
What you'll need:
1. My cm-10-20120918-FISHEARS-galaxysmtd.zip file (my nightly that has a working kernel with the old partition layout)
2. Any current Nightly zip of CM10
3. A computer with a Zip-capable archive tool
What you need to do:
1. Make a copy of cm-10-20120918-FISHEARS-galaxysmtd.zip and call it something like CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip
2. delete the /system folder from within CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip (or whatever you called it)
3. extract the /system folder from your official CM10 Nightly
4. add that /system folder to your CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip (or whatever you called it)
Now you have a CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip (or whatever you called it) containing the kernel and partition layout from cm-10-20120918-FISHEARS-galaxysmtd.zip and the system from the CM10 Nightly.
Copy CM10-FUDGEDATE.zip (or whatever you called it) to your SD card and flash it in CWM.
Reboot & profit
NOTE: currently you can NOT flash any custom kernels because there aren't any that support the latest CM10 while still having the old partition layout.
Whenever you want to repeat the process for a new Nighly, just do steps 2,3 & 4 again and flash it as before.
Please don't flame this thread. If you think its a bad idea then please state only technical objections to support your view.
All credit to Team Hacksung & Pawitp for the awesome effort that continues to go into CM10.

Well... old partition nightlies worked very good for me.So I will try this.
Anyway I noticed there are some jb ROMs with less changes than yours calling theirselfs stable so far etc.
Will you make thread of cm10 (or call it like you want) with old partition and newest nightly?
Thanks. Sorry for poor English.

Thanks but I don't want to start the hard work of maintaining a ROM thread. This is just instructions to stay up to date.
I do compile my own CM10 which you can download by clicking on my signature. Again, I won't be starting a thread for this as its really just for me but I don't mind sharing.
I will change the thread title though.

That's good to know. I think we both must have phones with the faster NAND because I didn't see any improvement when the official partition layout changed.

No need to wipe.
If you are flashing a new build over a previous one then you also don't need to reflash gapps

Managed to install your rom, and I got what I want. However I have a probler with Adaway said: /data/data/host not enough spare. Try Adfree solve the problem. Anyway thank you for the idea and rom.
Edit: Just discovered that System had only 300k free space out of 350MB. Maybe I have to delete some not important apk (like those live wallpapers) & unused ringtones.
Edit2: After deleting Chinese & Korean fonts Droidsansfallback , MTL* & Nanum Gothic, I got 12MB free space and Adaway runs smoothly.

That's fine. I think pawitp might get a bit lazy with the system size now that his build has a 2gb /system
Maybe I'll have to trim it down in the future.

A rom more in line with the Slim Bean philosophy (about 280mb system with google apps) would even allow you to create a larger datadata partition (at the expense of unused system partition space, circa 80mb) and improve usability. Using this mind-frame i guess we could gain some 50mb to datadata while still keeping 30mb free in system for people who want to add some removed system apps.
Nevertheless, this is your rom and ultimately your decision.

Its a good idea & perfectly possible. Pawitp just asked for some chip id data in the CM10 thread. It looks like lags could be associated with phones having the older Samsung MoviNand chip. Newer devices have a Sandisk iNand (same as Nexus S). I have the Sandisk so that's why the new partition layout made no difference to me. I'm not sure that increasing datadata would help. I don't use it because I don't see any gain in practice.

I already said that 4.2 WILL NOT get released,at least for now so no word about that.

I tried to install the rom and now the phone doesn't work anymore, I can't get into recovery, the image folder exists but does not go into recovery, you can know what happened? is this a joke?

How are the results for you? Is it smooth enough? Could you provide some screenshots for the 1st post please?

Does it mean that the phone still be able to boot after flashing the rom(without needed files) from cwm but I have to move the needed files to system/app then to make it work properly?
Am I right?

Nope. We dont have a coder right now so all modifications were done by me to have a stable ICS. I took the zip that bronxitas made and added tweaks and removed files to make it faster and smoother. So i thought it would work because that zip was working fine.

If you're deleting /data/data, you're losing app data so would still need to add titanium restore to this process surely? So its only saving you restoring the apks?

I do not think this can really work because most of the time, the data that is saved is for system specific data like settings and such. When you flash a new rom which has a different set of settings and system built in apps, the data that is from the old conflicts with the new.
I only dirty flash when I am moving between same based roms but going from CM to Stock it makes sense to do a full wipe.

If you look at the script, it deletes /data/data where that "system data" is stored. It deletes pretty much everything except /data/app, which is why it seems pointless to me

Smartisan OS out for Note 2

As the title states this Chinese ROM has been released for our phone. From what I gather it is similar to MIUI in the sense of it being a rather hefty redesign of the default Android UI.
Did anyone get to try it on their phone ?
You can grab it from here : http://www.smartisan.cn/download.html

Smartisan reviewed. Pre- Alpja for SGS3

Might have to try that this weekend. Does anyone know if it has en-GB locale?

Edit:
US English available as system language.
Not prerooted but a search for smartisan on XDA gave a flashable zip from sgs3 section that sorted that.
Quite iOS:ish impression on the whole.
Responsive and snappy UI.

Check the video posted earlier. UI is what's shown in it. (And I haven't found a way to take screenies ,might not be built-in it seems)

What is it based on ? Sammy or AOSP/CM ?
Will it be traduced in french in a near future ?

Thanks for the answer

Tried it. Fairly decent. Superficially, the 3x3 grid size is off-putting. Even the 4x4 grid size isn't any better. Apart from that, very responsive and snappy ui as reported by blorro. All in all, good for a weekend experiment.

Was just about to reflash to another ROM and the OTA Updater on Smartisan notified of an Alpha Update.
Seemingly some call recording functions added now and recording editing possibilities.
The clock seems to get an overhaul as well.
Found this 2:11 Presentation on Youtube which revealed some more built-in features:

wow very impressed from that video.

How's it for a daily driver? Any knows issues? Camera/Sound/calls all working fine?
Do you install it just like any other custom ROM? i.e. root, move zip to SD card and flash it via recovery?

Been running it as a daily for past 3 days, no issues detected.
Make sure you have updated CWM recovery since it's 4.2.2
Backup EFS (Dr Ketan has a good tool for it,check his thread)
install from .zip as usual.
For root access, i found this on SGS3 Q&A Forum:

For those like me, do test in Chinese rom Smartisan OS, and want to root, use this link, and flash in recovery, go to the icon Su and run it, it worked for me in 90%, reinstalled my APPs by Titatiun Backup just can not acessoa the backup folder Titaniun that is on the card, but transfer this folder to the internal memory and I could install 90% of my apps.
I used this link:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shar...18152&third=15
==============================================================================================================================================================
Flashed , then i ran titanium restore w/o issues.
After flashing update via OTA, root access was kept.

I have downloaded the ROM but before going ahead I want to ask whether this is SDS safe or not and would it change the modem also as if it change the modem there are chances of efs corrupt

Wouldn't know anything about SDS bug I'm guessing its fixed since this is CM based.
My modem did not get changed, always backup EFS before playing around.

ROMS, Kernels, Mods, Xposed Modules RETAIL N910V Vz Model converted to DEV

Now Officially @beaups and @ryanbg share kindly the possibility of change our retail models N910V to DEV edition, people is searching new options to make their experience better and give a new life to N910V phone, I believe in share knowledge, that’s the main objective of make a big community like XDA, those with previous models have experienced with that options before but for people with his first approach to Root and Unlock Bootloader, they don’t know where to start or what to do with these new possibilities, Please if you want to share something try to paste a link or other kind of source where people could start with, feel free to discuss anything just be polite and keep chat clean

I second the kyubi rom with textra as a mms replacement. If it has overclock it would be perfect.

Oh no trouble just people who forget about flash it could run into troubles but if you follow correctly and flash it I don't think there is any trouble at all,
Jasmine roms suggest a "Turning Kernel tool" call kernel adiutor from Google Play for some people experiencing troubles with emotion kernel, if any devs out there or themers of roms could tune kernels could modified emotion to overclock or either fix emotion to run smoother

@MatroxD I was having the same issue on Jasmine ROM. This worked for me to get the driver installed. Go to your Super SU app then go to settings scroll down to Mount Namespace Seperation and UNcheck the box and reboot. Also make sure you have busybox installed. I still can't get it to work but at least my driver is installed now. I think my problem is trying to remember how to set up my music player. I use Poweramp and I remember from my S5 days there are certain thins to do in settings on Poweramp.
