Now I Have 1GB Memory on My Galaxy Y Duos For All Apps I want

I tried this method with GingerIceJelly_v2_RC2 rom with Compact kernel. I followed your steps. The phone booted successfully after the procedure, but when I check out the internal storage it still shows that it is 170 MB.

sd-ext

In cwm goto mounts & storage and mount system
If system is mounted it will display "unmount system"

You can then flash a zip

If you don't mount system then you can't write to it - if you can't write to it then you can't change anything

hello friend, I went where you sent, and put to mount the / sd-ext, more appears "Error mounting / sd-ext", I'm using the Compact v1.3 kernel, is that the problem is in the Kennel? ta the / system and / sd-ext dismantled, the / system set up normal, plus / sd-ext no!

You only have to mount system and sometimes data to flash a zip


If you get an error mounting partitions it means they are not correctly formatted
If you get error mounting sd-ext it means you either haven't got a 2nd ext sd card partition or you didn't create it correctly

Either way you can create one in cwm under the partitions section (note it will format your sd card)

hello friend,
There are some questions in my mind.
should I install the same roms?
Is it possible if I just install the kernels?
I am using the stock rom for my gt-s6102. I haven't changed the kernel.

This does not relate to the thread topic so I will only answer this off topic question once

You can use any kernel you like for your device as long as it's for type of rom you are using - ie stock based kernels for stock based roms or cm kernels for cm roms

You can use custom stock based kernels on stock rom

So do you mean that I can still install the 'Ext-S' without changing my roms (as in the #1 post he used XDuosV3 v2.0)? (I have installed Compact Kernel V1.3)
coz he mention something about 'deodexed roms'. (I don't really understand this)
I doubt the app "Ext Manager" couldn't work properly as if I dont change the rom either. :)

**EDIT (I mean on the #2 post not #1, sorry)
