I'v installed a 2nd rom with siyah 3.4.1, I see a hidden folder @ internal memory called '.secondrom' with size of 2.2 GB and only two img files: data&cache.
There is any way to browse the 'root' dir of the 2nd rom ?
I want to get into its system/etc folder, but these folders are only at the 'original' root (of the primary rom).
Another question -
Should I install every app (same apps) to each rom?
There is a simple way to install app to both roms at once or only separate to each rom?
About deleting 2nd rom:
After I'm doing a wipe date&cache to 2nd rom, what should I delete manualy from internal memory? (which folders?)
If you want to explore 2nd ROM files, you need to enter to "hidden" partition.
About deleting: just remove .secondrom folder.
You can't install one app at the same moment on both ROMs, cause the ROMs are independent of each other.

What is the path of the hidden partition? there is any way to see it?
I'm using 'es file explorer' with all the root permissions enable, include enabled showing all the hidden files/folders... but can't see this partition. (if its possible of course)

Below the previous question -
If I'll update Siyah kernel or install other dual-boot kernel (for example dorimnax) will I have any problem with loading the 2nd rom?
anyone have any idea?

I don't think so because I believe that those kernels are based off Siyah in the first place.

No everything will be fine, I have even changed kernels to a non dual boot just to try them out and when I install SiyahKernel again it's just like I never changed and no need to set up the 2nd rom again as it's already there

accessing system root in 2nd rom
Its really very simple and you'll kick yourselves.
Boot into the second ROM.
Navigate to system in your file manager.
For dual boot the image file from your sd is mounted as the system so when you navigate to system while booted to second ROM it will be the contents of that file you are seeing.
For more info about how it works follow the link from the siyah website.
While we're on the topic can anybody help me to bind/symlink the standard app installation folder in data to the data folder in the second ROM to save duplicating installed apps? I understand that the data and dalvik will need to be desperate but surely the apk files don't need to be duplicated?
All hail gokhanmoral!

Hello all.
I started to develop my edition of JB, but i had a problem. The system partition is about 600MB, and the deodexed version of stock samsung's JB rom is about 700+MB. (Odexed should be about 800MB)
Firstly i did extract system.img to deodex it but a problem occured. Many apk files (about the half!) were missing (.odex files were still there). I was stuck. So i did an "adb pull" from my phone and i had all the system files, strange huh? I deodexed them (=> smaller size), removed bloatware and the system folder was about 675MB. I zipped it and flashed it from recovery. Phone was booting and booting and booting for 15 minutes... I re-checked the files and i saw that the system files were bigger than the system partition.
Then i checked for a hidden partition to find the "extra" space required for system. In "CSC" tar file of JB there is a hidden.img. In GB there was a small video by samsung so i thought that it would be again the same video or similar. I was wrong. Inside this file there are many apk system files (about 200MB!). I checked the firmware in my phone with root explorer and i saw that there are many symlinks from /preload/simlink/system/app/ to /system/app/ . That explains the Samsung's logic. Anyway i think that this is a bit fail. Why samsung didn't resize the system partition so it can handle all system files? Anyway, i will make a flashable test rom with some files in /preload/ and then i will symlink them (in updater-script) to /system/app/.
So for conclusion there is:
-a /system partition about 600MB and
-a (fake system) /preload partition about 250MB to handle most of the /system/app/ folder.
Also, temporary CWM6 for JB is working fine to install zips or anything or for backup and restore.
I thought it will be useful info for any dev here.
I solved this major problem and i will focus in Kyrillosv6b JB rom this week. I have already done many mods for JB but i couldn't test them because of that.
Have a nice day.
Maybe they just used this solution for the xxmb2 test version and for the final version they will resize the partition table.
It's a "strange" solution but I think not that bad.
We still don't know where is the imei/simlock data it's possible they don't want to modify the partition layout if not really necessary, to keep important data safe.
Repartitioning the device is always risky...

Hmm simlock and imei data are on /efs partition... But we did repartition the device for JB. There wasn't a "preload" partition on GB i think.
It's not on efs I erased my efs partition to try (ofc. I made backup first) and the imei was ok
I tried to restore efs from a different phone and nothing changed.
I remember there was something else not preload will check tomorow but I'm sure that unpartitioned space was only 10 MB and it's still 10 after Jb.
Probably preload in gb was named hidden just like the file and the video file was moved to internal sd or symlinked.
I know we had to rp but I can't see much difference, even the counter data is stored on the same offset.

Yeah. 30 APKs were not deodexing on mine. permissions were rwxrwxrwx when I looked. some didn't have sizes, others had -1 bytes.
Is there any way we can deodex JB ROM? I don't know how to mod and odexed ROM.

You should copy most of /system/app folder to /preload. Because system partition is small to handle all files.

Here is a comparision between GB and JB (partition table).
There is no difference in size, I have no idea why was repartition required for XXMB2.
I think preload wasn't mounted in GB but I'm sure it's the "Hidden" partition.

Hm interesting.
I'm testing that too.
The deodexed ROM boots but having too problems:
- The baseband is unknow and i can't recover it flashing modem or EFS partitions.
- I have a android core stop and can' t pass the first screen.
My deodexed ROM has 430 Mb but maybe is not complet and because that i have the android core problem.

So we need to create an APK which contains
Code:
Link: /preload/symlink/system/app/nameofapp.apk
Manually doing this will definitely take a lot of time.
But is there an easier way or hassle-free way of doing this?

You have those symlibs apps in your System/app from system.img or backup. if you open the fake apk with some editor you can see it.
Because that you can't deodex it with the kitchen , you need the real apk from preload.

You cannot deodex the 30 APKs that are symlinked on preload using the system.img from leak fw. but copying them from /system/app/ to /sdcard/ gets you the real APK. What i want to know is how do I include preload links in flashing with script or is it better to do it manually. Because pushing a symlinked file directly causes and infinite bootloop and vibration.

yes , i'm doing that but i have some problem with some specific apk because i have a rom booting and another smaller not boot.
I have two roms I like to use (one stock and one AOSP) and unfortunately one is only available in version 4.1.2, while the other is already 4.2.2.
I can easily ping pong between the two roms with a quick CWM nandroid backup/restore, but (as you all know) the sdcard in 4.2.2 is in a different path vs. 4.1.2.
Is there a quick way to do that? (I mean, other than copy all the sdcard to external sd, format internal sdcard and copy back)
I was wondering if there is a way 4.1.2 could use the new sdcard format natively...
(maybe dreaming)

All you need to do is copy the files from 0 to the root level of the SD card and delete the 0 folder, then replace the duplicates. It's not that complicated, although there are a couple of folders you'll need to rename, because they are in use by the system (Android, etc.) so they won't replace immediately.

they haven't, but you can create a flashable zip yourself if you learn the updater script syntax, the task you're trying to accomplish is very basic copy-paste
Sorry to bump an old thread...but My files when I go from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 are found in data/media and then all my folders are there...where should I copy all these items to so that if I go back to 4.1.2 I will still have access to them? My /0 folder that has been created upon switching does not contain any of the files I need. its the data/media folder.
The real locations are
4.1 /data/media
4.2 /data/media/0

I can't remember i have this prob sometime, and every time it happens after flashing a rom i move the pictures, but i don't have power for this anymore.
my main folder is sdcard0, and there was a folder named 0, but i moved everything from it and deleted it hoped it will fix the prob but it didn't.

Try going into recovery and data wipe then try again. I usually wipe before and after a ROM flash

did so, i think it's because the name of the main folder is sdcard0 and not sdcard..
Perhaps you flashed a 4.2 Rom. It creates a 0 folder inside sdcard and forbids access to the upper level of the card, where your images are. Those roms are multi user and the default one is named 0. So it creates a virtual disk for it inside former sdcard.
Once you're inside the Rom you can't have access to the whole card, only to the 0 folder content for security reasons as it's multi user.
This said I don't use such a Rom and don't know if there is a solution to move your pictures from inside the Rom. You should try with philz recovery + aroma file explorer in it (see its thread) to move or copy the files. It should work.

can't you give me a link for it? or maybe just tell me what to write on the search tab? thanks. and yea you're right i did flash rom 4.2..
It's in Original Android Development section.
Hi people. I've been browsing a lot lately and Reading about roms, kernel, and other stuff related to customization of Android devices. I consider myself enough tech-savvy to understand technical things about hardware on this devices but when it comes to all the thing related to flashing roms and kernels and related things i have no clue of what you're talking about, lol.
However, I'm really interested on "installing" Cyanogenmod 10 on my Galaxy Player 4 just to see what happens and how flashing roms feels like, so i can try different roms later and enhance my device. But no matter how hard I try to find a tutorial about how to begin from total stock (as the device comes from the store) haven't been lucky finding one. As far as I know the first step is flashing a new kernet with CWM, so then i can flash the roms. But I'm stuck on Step One :s
So, if there's a link you can post here to help begin with this flashing trend it'd be great. Or if you can redact a "custom" tutorial for me, a total programming noob but interested as hell about modifying my GP4 that would be a thousand times better.
Also, feel free to recommend me kernels or roms or whatever you feel i could use
Thanks!!!

I just finished doing this exact thing myself, so its fresh in my mind First, BACK UP!! there are different methods with varying degrees of how much they back up, search the forum for them. Definitely backup the efs. Instructions are in the first post for the CM10 ROM. Then, I began by flashing a custom kernel using Odin. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the Tips and Tricks section of this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27615927
Kernels can also be found in the appropriate section of that post. Make sure you get one for your device. All of them include CWM (ClockworkMod) which is what you need to easily flash a full ROM. The kernel won't actually effect your current operating system accept to maybe improve performance.
Next, download the ROM file(s) onto your device. ROMs are also in the above post. Again, make sure you get one for your device. Read the instructions in the ROM thread on how exactly to flash them, but the general procedure is to boot into CWM by holding some set of buttons during start up (probably power + volume up) and navigate the CWM menu to flash the ROM.

Is Terra Silent compatible with CM10??? Reading the thread of Terra Silent a user made a comment on this asking the developer (i guess) to make Terra Silent compatible with CM10.... :s
ok now i have some problems...
got to flash the Terra Silent Kernel. After rebooting everything was ok. Installed Rom Manager in order to install CWM. Rom Manager installed CMW and then came back to main menu. There was an option for creating a copy of the stock rom, thought it wolud be a good idea to make a copy. When i did it, phone went black and then reboted. after rebooting came back to the lock screen but changed language (spanish -> english). Algo noticed there was missing the google search bar. When entered to the apps menu there were a lot of icons of the android robot with an SD card symbol over. When clicked them it says that the apps are not installed on the system.
installed rom manager again, and went to recovery boot. flashed both cm9 and cm 10 included in the cm 10 thread. Now my playr is stuck in the recovery screen...
what do i do?

dev mount sdcard / storage /sdcard1
#external sdcard
dev mount emmc /storage/sdcard0
Wait, before doing any changes like this, have you tried on going mnt/emmc or storage/sdcard1? @TheKryptonite he have a 4.0 and the sdcard is working without changing the paths.

I did this change, switched numbers and now i can see the files on the sd card. Only that before flashing CM 10 the access to the sd card was through a folder calles "externa sd", now the sd card files and folders are scattered on the home screen of any file explorer i acess the sd card with. It's not a big ideal but i dont like it.
When i edited the file you told me there was a 1 after where now says sdcard 1. Shoud that number be erased or better keep it?

I'd keep it.
I have tried a lot of custom Roms. I'm on Neat ROM Lite now. Not sure which ROM changed my file access permission settings to cause this problem but I'm not able to delete any files from my external memory card. I was able to delete when I was on stock rom. The other problem is for a few apps I get an error message which says can't install on usb/sd card. I have posted this in another thread
some time back but got no response. Some one please point me in the right direction.
This is what my file permission looks like.
PS: I am able to delete when my fone is connected to PC via USB. So I don't think it has anything to do with a faulty sd card.

download mobile terminal from playstore
Hey I know its been quite sometime now.but as ur advice I downloaded mobile terminal and now have to run the following command everytime I boot my fone:
mount -o rw,remount -t/yaffs2 /storage/extSdCard
Otherwise i do not get rw access to my external sd.Istn't there a permanent solution to this? Also I fail to understand what changed my permissions and why does this persist across all the new roms I flash?

Create a blank file and type that command in it. Now save it and rename it to 95mountsd with no extension
Now, if you have init.d support, place it in /system/etc/init.d and reboot
Command will run on every boot itself
Thank you, it worked. Now could please have a look at my other issue, in this post I'd be really thankful.
Can you please tell me what could be the reason for my default rw settings to change, coz I remember when I had stock os I never had to do all this.

Sorry, i'm not good at hardware stuff
Maybe the ROMs aren't mounting that special kind of partition your sdcard is having
FAT32 format works universally
yaffs2 may not
I'm not sure

Hey I have switched back to stock rom and I've rooted it by flashing philz kernel. Now I don't see init.d in my /system/etc , where do I place this 95mountsd in this case?
