Hi everybody, i am a new user to this forum this is my first post
First of all i would like to say... congrats to all of you guys.... for all of the hard work you do for android users all over the world with their phone. Really nice. I had a galaxy ace i rooted, flashed CWM and installed CM before selling, now i have a galaxy express :laugh:.... it is a great, great mod. Keep up the good job. :good:

Well i dont know where to post so iam sorry if iam posting in the wrong place. I need some help. I rooted it using motochopper.Now i would like to install CWM, but i am worried about the dev block... the thread says it is the 18, but in my terminal i think i got a different result, as follows.

External to internal

Hi, I am searching for instructions how to swap external to internal storage for I8730, i searched a lot, but I only found instructions for other smartphones, and I didn`t know what I need to change in this vold.fstab file. I used link2sd, but it only saves few mb from 2gb game or maybe it is possible somehow to move games sd data to micro sd card? So please if somebody could gave my instructions what to do to get more space for games, I would be so grateful Thank you for answers, have a nice day

use folder mount or directory bind for moving games data folder to ext sd card

If you have 6.0.4.5 cwm on your phone, i wouldn't worry about it, it seems like some people are having trouble converting from the old cwm to the update, i used flashify but i was only messing around, if you haven't got 6.0.4.5 do it with Odin just in case.

No. @szezso said "No, I won't upload my sources till I can figure out the random reboot stuff." Doubt the audio problem would make it very useful as a phone. You should be patient. I have been waiting since last July, others quite a bit longer. @szezso will make it available when it is more stable

@bazzan is right.
I've been waiting since May, and what difference would it make if I were to wait a bit longer?
At least we're not waiting in the shadows now.
