this is a small tutorial on how i flash this rom
first off i have a 430 system partiton and a 4 gig ext 4 partition
i also use Kokotas black clk 1.5.1.9 and CWM Recovery Touch Beta 8 Release Candidate 1
and i use the dataonext install method

first thing i do is do a backup of the rom i have on my phone
then i move the rom zip to my sdcard
i then go into mounts and storage and
format boot
format cache
format data
format system
format sd-ext

be carefull not to format sdcard

i then got into install zip from sd card then choose zip from sdcard
then i pick the rom zip and and go thru the setup on aroma and choose the things i want to install
when it finishes i reboot and let it sit at the lockscreen for 5 minutes
then i go thru the setup and add my gmail account
when its done with the setup stuff i once again let the phone sit for 5 minutes
then i reboot one more time and begin fully setting up the phone the way i like it

i add alot of modded stuff to my phone for testing and regular use
and the way i posted above has never failed me

Hi Pixeldroid.

It is an awesome rom again. But I have again huge battery drain. And I saw that most is due to Google Services. Now my battery is in 5 Hours from 100% full to 25% empty. Google services is taking 42% of battery drain. Is it possible to shutdown Google services? I have allready did the following: Settings/ Accounts/ Google/ Accounts Sync OFF.

I found where to stop Google services, but I don't know if it wil give me problems with the rom.
Settings/ Apps/Active now/ Google services
I have stopped them all and wil see what happens.

Hello Kameirus:)

First ,thanks for replying :))

I dont know where the 27 mb of userdata came from??
In the clk 1.5.0.1 there is no option under settings to change that. I only have the options
recovery ,misc,boot,cache and system.

sincerealy :))

how did you install clk on your phone

do you have a tmobile hd2 if yes can you bump up the system partition size to 400 or 410 and see what happens
i always use a 410 size

Hello :))

I did the clk install via an custom .ruu .

I am honest. I forgott what kind it is. Its so long ago that i changed from wimo 6.5 to android. About 3 years.
I can say two things about it. It is an German one and the original vodafone rom is not allow when i try to install it.
So the chance is well to an Tmobile phone.

Sorry for my bad englisg. I will try my best.


sincerealy:)

Thanks of course for reply !

Apps problem

Hi,

I installed, this rom Nand + data OnExt, and in some application, like Facebook (from market), if i get i want to see one group, for example, the app close down (black and out). App like, Airdroid, if i go to setting he shuts down. and others apps, like dolphin, or the default browser.. :\

What i can see, seems that when is "processing" the programs close down.

Sorry for my bad English, i wish you can understand the problem.

Edit: Clk instaltion with 2 GB EXT4 cluster default / SWAP 256 MB / the rest FAT32 cluster default , Sandisk , 8gb , class uhc

    I had always thought that were the same thing or that they are both required if I want to increase RAM amount. I have always used together since 2.3.7 ROMs.
    So what do you suggest?
    If I have a swap partition on my sd card, I need to do something to use it whit this ROM or it will be used atomatically?

    Well....:D

    zram and swap-partition are two different things.

    If you activate zram then android will use parts of your internal ram as a kind of "zram-partition". Internal ram is a very fast memory, so zram-method is very fast, but makes internal ram smaller.

    If you activate swap then your swap-partition on sd-card will be used in order to outsource parts of internal ram.

    So you can enlarge your internal ram, but it is not like 500 mb internal ram + 300 mb swap = 800 mb ram.
    That's not true.

    If you use swap-partition it depends on "Swappiness"-value how android will use swap.

    For example:

    Swappiness 30 means:

    30 percent of all write actions into ram will be outcourced to swap-partition and 70 percent of all other write actions will be written on internal ram.

    Swappiness 100 means:

    Nearly nothing will be written on internal ram any more, all write actions will be outcourced to swap-partition.
    I said "nearly" because some little things will be written on internal ram further on.
    If you have a very fast sd-card - you can speed up your phone with this method.


    The decition between zram and swap depends on how you are using your phone.

    If you have a fast sd-card you can use swap-partition if your sd-card is slow - then zram is better for you.

    If there are running many apps in background that must stay in background like antivirus-apps, whatsapp, taskkillers and so on,
    i prefer using a swap partition instead of zram.

    If you do not run many apps in background and if your are only using those playstore apps like games and so on that will be started and after using them they can be ended and erased out of memory by androids internal memory manager, then your system might be a little bit snappier by using zram.

    I use a 64gb sandisk extreme sd-card and swap-partition / swappiness 100. This speeds up my system a little bit. no zram.

    If you are using pixeldroids rom, then nos-injection-script activates zram automatically. if you want to use swap an no zram - you have to
    erase those lines out of init.d-script "nos-injection-4cylturbo" :

    # KERNEL zRAM ================
    #=============================
    #
    # This will only work if your kernel supports zRAM!
    # so your kernel DOES NOT have zRAM? Then this script won't work!!!

    echo "1" > /sys/block/zram0/reset
    echo $((60*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
    mkswap /dev/block/zram0
    swapon /dev/block/zram0

    After that you have to activate swap-partition.

    If you installed pixelfreaks rom, then you were able to activate swap in aroma-installer during your installation of your rom.

    If you activated swapping in aroma - then only erase those lines above in nos-injections-script and finished.

    If you didn't activate swapping in aroma, you have to activate it manually by using playstore-app "swapper" or by using an
    init.d-script.

    you can extract init.d-script "99swap" out of pixelfreaks rom-zip-file and put it into system/etc/init.d in your rom on your phone.
    open script with a text-edior an set swappiness to value you decided.

    set permissions to -rwxrwxrwx and reboot. Finished!!

    Pixelfreaks nos-injection automatically sets readahead-value to 4096. This value runs with most sd-cards.

    In my case it slows down my sd-card a little bit. My sd-card runs faster with readahead 6144. you have to try which value
    is best for your sd-card in order to speed your system a little bit up.

    HI, thank you for your work
    I've installed the rom< it worked fine at first , but now it keeps freezing and rebooting
    data on ext, system 400, cash 10, mgloader, ext 2gb, swap 256,
    what can I do to fix it?
    thank you

    i have this rom on clk with a 425 partition data on ext with a 4 gig ext and no swap
    and its running smooth and fast i had one hot reboot while changing a theme
    but havent had one since and its been like 3 weeks now

    maybe try without swap
