Hello !
One question : How to free up/cleaning space system ROM ?

Overview tab of Titanium back :
System ROM : 575 MB (7.40 MB free)
Internal : 1.21 GB (192 MB free)
SD Card : 15.8 GB (6.65 GB free)

I use Micro modular package (~175MB) from OFFICIAL Up-to-Date PA-GOOGLE APPS.
So, now I cannot update app like Google Chrome and others via Play store.
How can I free up space in system ROM ?

Thanks you !

Just don't use the internal storage for the system - DataOnExt will help you.

It's easy: take the boot.img, extract ramdisk-data from it using android-kitchen, change the mount-source for the /data in the fstab-file, put the modified file back into the boot.img using android-kitchen, flash the boot.img into your phone, reboot the phone, and it's done!

or simply ask someone like me to share the modified boot.img with you (but you'll have to trust me if you can't use android-kitchen to check whether I rebuilt the whole kernel or just modified a single file)

oh, I forgot to mention that an ext4-partition should be created on your sd-card (as second partition) of any size you want but bigger than 2GB (there is no point to make it less than that) which will be your new system partition

It's a bad solution because it's temporary. Rather sooner than later you will have to use DataOnExt - it's unavoidable. So, I would recommend you to start exploring android-kitchen - it's a set of unix-scripts to do a lot of things with a ROM but the main use of it for me is to modify the ram-disk of a boot.img. All the other things are interesting too but they could have some undesirable side effects.

Yes absolutely. But i have problem i can use fastboot in order to flash boot.img because fastboot doesnt reconize my phone. So can i use method without using fasboot?

As far as I can see, you can always put a boot.img into the ROM zip-file and it will make the job done for you (although, you will have to reinstall the whole ROM instead of just flashing the boot)

I can use fastboot on my friend's PC. I don't need to reinstall whole ROM if i flash boot.img in fastboot? So if i send you my boot.img can you make the job for me? Thank you so much !

Yes, I can, no problem but don't forget about this:

which you can do using gparted-live

and one more thing - I did it for the first time using the whole reinstall of the rom. Just remember that when you put this kernel into your phone, the system partition will be on your sd-card and it will be empty!

Pass through and Mass USB Storage

Alright, I have been using this ROM past 2 days and boy, I am in love with this. But I am wondering why the highlighted feature of an HTC i.e. the Interent pass-through is not working on this ROM? When I connect my Incredible S to the PC it never prompts me to connect as a mass storage or pass through and the rest stuff. Is this a drawback of this ROM or, the CyanogenMod don't support these functions, eh?

Works on Linux (tested with bluetooth).

Oh must be the CM community that hasn't added the support for Windows I guess.

Dictionary files

Hi guys!

Awesome ROM!
I was searching for addon dictionary files for the AOSP Keyboard for Hungarian and Romanian but I can't seem to find anything.
I would like to add spell-checking for these 2 languages on VivoKat.

Could somebody help/guide me?

Thanks!

Just boot into bootloader, go to recovery and then reflash the vivokat ROM. If you're S-ON, flash boot.img in fastboot

Ok i will try that, but how is it possible that my device went back to s-on before it was s-offed, i will use fastboot to make my phone run for now can u tell me how i can get back to s-off?
EDIT: Ok i tried but it's giving me an error saying FAILED(remote: not allowed) And i dont have any file in my sd card(it's empty not even a single file) is that the reason off all this problem. I dont even have any backup of my phone.
