hi guys.. i have a big issue with my razr when i try to use cyanogenmod ( the official one obviously)
the problem is quite simple..i use safestrap to install the custom rom in rom slot1, i flash the rom and gapps, i wipe cache/dalvik cache ( so i do everything that should be done) but when i try to use google now (in particular the voice search) google search close down and it doesn't worked...this happened even when i was on official 4.0.4 and even now that i'm on 4.1.2....i have noticed that in the stock rom if i get "motorola service" unistalled, google voice doesn't work anymore... ( and even in this case with the stock rom i'm the only one who has this problem)
but with cyanogenmod 10.1 ,which is a modified rom installed in a different partition i really can't understand why it doesn't work to me!! ( i've already asked in other italian's forums if someone else had the same problem, but i'm still the only one..)
how can i solve it?
p.s. sorry for my imperfect english :crying:
ok guys, problem solved by myself updating the app/ reinstalling it
i have another question...is there any possibility to have only cyanogenmod on the device instead of dual boot with safestrap? or is it impossible? :silly: (stupid locked bootloader :crying: )

yes u can do it.:good: but it is impossible with safestrap installed
install bootmenu manager and wipe your system 1. then flash cm10.1 to the system 1 and there u have it. only one rom running on your phone
DISCLAIMER: Could be potentially harmful incase cm 10.1 does not boot up properly on bootmenu or if u mess up in the process

done it this afternoon :good: at the first restart i have had to fight a lot with my phone to boot properly, but with rc2 it works very fine! and i also have more free space in rom partition :good: and obviously in data partition because of less bloatware..
i have another small question about bmm, maybe you can help me...before doing what i have just said , i installed cyanogenmod in system 2, then i have format the partition ,wiped everything and so on...i want to ask if after this format all the space in system 2 has been released
(sorry for my mechanical and uncorrect way of writing..when there are too many verbs my mind explodes :silly: )
edit : to work it without any problems, is important to wait before restart and to select "install bmm to main menu" in advanced settings

u better not mess around with the processes happening in bmm ( install bmm to main nemu) accept it if it asks
actually deleting system 2 does not release any space. that space was withheld by motorola for the webtop partition on EVERY phone
now that we dont use that space , it is used as a place to test roms on our phones AKA system 2
on the other hand safestrap does not use this and utilizes the internal sd partition to install roms
hit like if i helped!

ok for system 2..understood :good:

Hi everyone, I am a total newbie to all this custom ROM stuff.
I have a Galaxy ace rooted but with stock ROM, I want Cyanamod but am a little scared of bricking my phone.
It all seems very complicated so my question is, can somebody kind enough please give a step by step account of what i have to do with all the links for what i need.
Please don't leave anything out, it might seem like something everyone should know but belive me, i don't know it!!!
I am wanting basically at the end of it a phone with more spare RAM, all apps i don't need gone and a stable smooth phone, i might overclock it too depending on advice.
Don't know what you need so my phones details are:
Galaxy Ace GTS5830
Android version 2.3.6 gingerbread
baseband version S5830NEKT2
Kernal version 2.6.35.7 -perf-CL772922 [email protected] #1
Build number Gingerbread.XWKT5
Thanks for your time.
Yo, dude. Don't worry about bricking your phone, you can always fix it with odin by flashing stock rom. Just, dont use ROM manager!
Custom rom? Read the main sticky about installing cwm recovery, then find your favourite rom and follow the steps on the thread about install your custom Rom! By The way, you should read similiar threads,before creating yours. because it's 100 of 'em.
-Beans,
ok firstly u decise which cyanogenmod rom u want as they are many cyanogenmod roms by different developers and many cyanogenmod based roms ..
after u download the rom , put it in your sd card.
so u need to know that u cant flash custom roms with a stock recovery
u need a custom recovery so flash clockwordmod recovery 5 from here :
http://androidflip.com/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-v5-on-galaxy-ace-s5830/
so the above link has a guide too so i assume that cwm 5 is flashed
now go to cwm 5 recovery ( home button + power button) and choose " install zip from sd " and navigate to your rom location
it will take about 3-5 minutes for rom to install
then u ought to to click on " wipe cache partition " this is a very important step
and voila u ahve a cm7.2 powered ace remember the first boot will take a bit long so dont get scared
---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------
and getting into stock recovery ( to flash cwm recovery ) takes a bit hard work for the first few time
so best of luck press home + power button till u get in stock recovery then flash cwm recovery
In the link you posted it says install to pc then to phones sd card.
Doesn't it have to go in the root folder?
I rooted my phone from the sd card, thats still there, won't that show up when i press power and menu to get into recovery mode?
Where/how do i know which version of cyanamod to get?
As you can see i am totally clueless, thats why i'm worried about bricking it.
What do kernals do?
See...download the zip file from the link dragonoid provided..
next connect your phone to your pc and copy the zip file to the sd card..
disconnect your phone and switch it off...
press and hold power button and while holding home button press and hold power button...u will now boot into stock recovery..next use the volume buttons and select the option "apply update from sd card" and select the zip file u just copied..let it flash and then reboot your device...you now have CWM Recovery on your phone..
next...switch off phone..use power + home button combo boot into recovery..notice the difference as it is now ClockWorkMod recovery..
if you have already copied the rom zip file to your sd card select the option "install zip from sd card" and then select the rom file...after completion wipe cache and partition then go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache...and then reboot...
Now you have CWM and your desired ROM on your phone..

i m sorry to say this but i could not understand a thing of ur 1st 2 lines
there is no root folder ok so u rooted your phone using cwm how stupd of me , i forgot that gingerbread rooting requires cwm method sorry my bad
i m not talking about cyanogenmod version , i m talking about the rom
there are sooo many cm7 based rom in our very own sga android development section so see those roms see which u like . i would recommend cm7.2 by team adreno but many users over here seem to like miracle rom v4 its your choice
and remember u cannot brick ur phone unless you flash a rom or a kernel not meant for ace or install rom manager and mess around with it . so jut chill
and flash cm7 already
a new awesomee world awaits you and your phone
I was afraid too like you the first time but it's a lot simple and easy. Just always take backup of previous ROM in case anything happens. So simple steps which i used:
1. Download Clockwork Mod Recovery (5.0.2.6)
2.Boot into Recovery Mod ( Power + Home button) or search google for pictures or videos
3.Select "Install from Zip" and select the CWM zip file.
4.CWM will be installed on your phone now and it's a great recovery.
5.Choose any ROM you want and put it on your SD card.
6.Now boot into recovery mod, Select "Wipe Data/Factory select" and select "yes"
7.Select "Wipe Cache" and then yes > Advanced options> Wipe Dalvik Cache > Yes
8. Go back to main recovery menu by pressing Back button of your phone > Choose Install ZIp from SD card > Select ZIP> Yes > Wait for it to install and VIOLA. you have installed a custom ROM on your phone
Thankyou, that is exactly what I wanted!
A couple more questions, I was thinking about going for Cyanamod 7.2, will my apps be gone when i do it and will i still be able to access google play.
Is there anything I will have to mess around in the files with, like setting wi-fi?

Your apps will be gone but you can back them up using titanium backup
And yes...obviously you will be able to use google play!!!

wifi stuff is a bit different on a custom rom , ur phone will not automatically pop up the wifi ap dialog box .....ull have to manually go in wifi settings and choose the wifi hotspot ( unless that is . your phone has remembered the wifi hotspot ) and than thers no boooorrrinng bluetoth disconnection after every 120 secs u can set bluetooth time out to " never"
some custom roms do require u to flash Gapps( which includes G play) as an addon but i dont think any of our cm7.2 roms require thaat

Well mate installing ROM is similar to installing OS on any PC. Format> everything is gone but long live titanium backup pro
CM based ROMs require to flash a zip called "Gapps" in order to use any google service or software like play store. On stock based ROMs, it's not required.

Can't thank you guys enough, I was expecting the " go read up" and other non helpful replies but I am very glad I joined xda, you've been a great help!
So....am I right in thinking:
1 Get Titanium pro and back everything up
2 Install CWM
3 Factory rest/wipe data in CWM options
4 Wipe dalvik cache in CWM options
5 Install Cyanamod 7.2 from sd card
6 Install Gapps
I have only just got my phone and won't be able to afford another and I have 23 months left on my contract, thats why I'm being very hesitant.

this step can be avoided unless that is u want all the google apps
OK Thanks, what about Gmail and Play store though?
I see in abhibnl's signature it says he is waiting for a camera that works, does thqt mean the camera won't work if I install Cyanamod 7.2?
Is there anything else that won't work too?
PS How long do I have to keep verifying my posts with this Captcha?
camera doesnt work on CM9 ..
in all CM7.2 camera works dont worry
and yeah till u reach 10 posts you will have to keep verifying ..

Well gmail and play store are included in mostly all roms. Play store is must in all roms, gmail can be downloaded. CM9 doesn't support camera yet , cm7 has working camera. Do anything but never ever use Rom Manager

I am gonna go for it then!
Only thing is can you link me a good version of Cyanamod 7.2 that you recommend as I see there are different ones, I like the simple cyan on black themes if there are different ones?
Btw I have backed up to titanium backup, do i leave it on the sd card or copy to pc because won't everything get wiped?

i dont know about the other members but this is the best cyanogenmod i have used for ACE but you need to flash this kernel with it too as thers some problem with the roms default kernel ... or you could try the cm7.2 miracle edition v4 rom which everyone seems to like

your sd contents wont get wiped wiping dalvik cache ->only your apps and app data will go...so keeping your backup on sd is safe unless you decide to format your sd card which i dont think you are interested in
Now its getting complicated again, flashing kernal too?
Miracle v4 needs messing with files for wi fi doesn't it?
Everytime I am ready something else comes up, its not simple this is it!
Hello there guys so I'm here because I did a very silly mistake related to the CWM for the Galaxy Player 4.2 (Or at least that's what I think I did ).
Related to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39344227
Anyway I'm not familiar with CWM since the Galaxy Player 4.2 is my first Android device ( And is not like the device has been easy on us right ), my device is rooted and the problem is that I already got the Kernel on my device and as expected I'm without WiFi. How can I configure the CWM Recovery without WiFi, if not, how can I get WiFi back?.
Sorry for bothering with dummy questions/mistakes and thanks in advance .

Can I flash the fix without CWM, for example with Odin?. I'm having a really hard time here, since I was dumb enough to install the Kernel without configuring the CWM before or at least making sure I could do it without the WiFi. Now the problem is when I want to flash with Rom Manager it says I need the recovery since I'm not a premium but again in order to get the recovery I need WiFi internet :/.

Wow it's the first time I see somebody having more problems with CWM than odin (no offense). Actually all you need to do is to put the patch into your device and then boot into CWM. Once into CWM, go into install zip from sdcard, then chose zip from sdcard and chose your patch zip. Once you choose it, you will see a bunch of no and one yes, check yes and it will patch it. Once it's done, reboot your device.
Hope it helps.
I'd like to know if flashing the kernel with CWM will make loose data, apps and preferences ? Thanks.

You're right, it works fine ! Now I have a question : I tried a backup in CWM, system and data have been backed up, but neither applications nor cache.
I got the following error messages :
Code:
No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage.
Backing up cache...
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.
Any idea ?

Man, I feel so stupid right now . I managed to run the CWM boot now when I try to install the zip the update. Says:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
Maybe I should tell you everything I did just in case.
I had the device already rooted.
Flashed the kernel
Installed the CWM v5.0.2.7
Transfered the Fix zip to sdcard
then I did everything you said and also tried to disable verification and still failed.
Sorry to be bothering U_U.
Ok I finally fixed everything... It was my external sd after all, it wasn't functioning properly. Tried with another Sd card and now it's working. Thanks you for your patience and help

Hey guys!
Have been running BMM a while now without any issues, and my phone has been running great on 4.1.2. Yesterday I installed AOKP 4.2.2, and the ROM itself works perfectly fine, but if I reboot my phone it always goes to System1. My AOKP is on System2.
This isnt that big of an issue, as I'll just use BMM to reboot to system2 (And lets be honest, how often do we actually turn our phones off..?) But nevertheless I'd like to have it boot straight to System2. I'm quite familiar with BMM, but can't seem to find a setting for this. I only find the reboot option to reboot to System2 out of recovery, and to switch to System2. What I want is to set which system it automatically boots to.
Can anyone give me a pointer to how I'd do this?
Thanks ahead of time to this great community!
I myself am having problems with BMM too. It is not as easy as SS3. Well at least for me I cannot delete the system 2 which I opened for another rom . Do you know how can I do that?
Hm, I don't know how you can delete it, or even if you can. What would be the purpose of deleting it? It wont be in the way or anything afaik.
Just Wanted to know if there is a way to do it. I searched it a lot. And the last time I deleted my internal storage :/ a good cleaning isn't it

In the app that you install in the system (Boot Menu Manager) you can choose the default system to boot. It's on the first page of the manager.
Do'h! It never occured to me to check in the app, just in the recovery.. Thanks a lot, that solved my problem!
Glad to be helpful :]

when u reboot your phone press the android icon on the bmm splashscreen and go into settings. in there choose the system u want to delete and
select destroy. destroy all 3 (cache, system and data.
even i found bmm hard first but i feel it is much better than safestrap
That I cannot do on system 2. I tried it but there is no destroy on system 2. Only on System 1. I dunno why :/ I want to delete System 2 But there is only Activate Button.

you cannot delete system 2 since this is webtop partition and is made by motorola.
this was needed by GB. from ICS and above this feature is into the first system itself
therefore, activate it and flash a rom into it. SS cannot do that, it takes space from internal memory only
Going off topic - what's the size of your bmm nandroid (DUP) backup? I got somewhere near 680KB for a full backup!

enter BMM and wipe/format system 2
first time i install cm10.1 nightly on s2 i9100, there was no prob...then flashed pacman rom ..was a little glitchy and slow.
So moved on to paranoid android..this is where the prob started... it keeps on bootlooping :?
Right now flashed stock 4.1.2 via odin and rooted with siyah kernel s2 v6 0.5b ..works fine
but if i flash any custom ROM it bootloops ,even with the prior cm10.1 that i had..
checked xda , did a lot of work but still stuck at square one..{wiping this , wiping that}
only thing i can find fault with is in recovery when wiping data says
Format/sdcard/.android_secure ..fail
skip Format
Format completed
when trying to intsall from sdcard it says
E:/ cannot mount..
tried different cwm recovery .. all with the same findings..
so please help me.. its boring to be stuck with stock ROM..
i am a doctor ..i tried but couldnt follow running SDK and commands ..so please keep it simple
or if possible publish a video.. bcause iam not the only one with this predicament...during my research i found a lot android users with the same problems..
Thanks

n the solution given in that thread 1. is to flash a stock rom.. 2. flashing villain rom but the download links are not working..
i think it has do with fail to format .androidsecure thing but what do i know?
again thanx..
check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906362
also backup all ur internal memory data to a pc and then format your Internal memory from within the rom
You could try using a couple of wipe scripts by a guy called hawkerpaul....I think they're called 'romwipe' and 'kernelwipe'.......
Use the XDA search function....should be easy enough to find.
It may be that there are some 'leftovers' following the usual wipes (cache, dalvik and data) that are causing conflicts with your fresh installs.....
The above mentioned scripts perform a more in depth wipe....might help.....

i have tried that GS2ROM wipe and nuke scripts already, with no luck ... yes that runs bigger wipe but it still fail to format sdcard .andoidsecure
i think it has do with renaming of the sdcard{silly doubt when recovery states sdcard , it doesnt refer to extsd right?} from sdcard to sdcard0 while installing CM10.1,,
if i could safely erase that {.andoidsecure}, probably things will back to normal .. anyone know how to
oh iam not able to use install from sdcard option in recovery(formerly before flashing any ROM i was able to..i hav to install from "internal memory"
Again iam grabbin at random bcause i want to go bac to custom ROMs. .if any of sounds untechi ..let me remind u i am just , what do they call it.. a noob and i do apologise...

i can find folder .androidsecure in extsd card and that erasing that doesnt solve the problem.. there must be another copy
iam not able to find .androidsecure in sdcard {internal}..with neither ES explorer nor Root explorer..
i dont know if this helps but i tried to intall that int2ext mod once but it didnt take ..installation aborted in recovery..i cant really remember if this was before or after i started havin the bootloop problem...Most likely after ...when i was running stock rom
There those are all the cards ...someone please solve the puzzle...
hey i can install custom roms again
1.formatted extsd and usb storage{after making back up of course} in storage setting in ROM
2.in recovery : Mount emmc
Mount sdcard
wipe user data
Flash the custom ROM
and it didnt go into bootloop ...hurrah

No any work around found. Tryied all workaround like installing init.d toggler also no use. So i, flash my cm11 backup. Using cm11 now. (between i dont like lollipop visuals and stock rom is no extra features, not even xposed will work so i use cm12 only when arrive)
After flashing Cm11 i found on the Web that in twrp recovery go to advanced and select fix permission and try mounting link2sd but before you do take full nandroid backup.. If brick happens....

I just installed the latest link2sd update. It first shows partition not mounted then shows an error message and shows the option to recreate mount scripts or quick reboot because the mount script is loaded after system startup and after quick reboot second partition is really mounted. I think after every reboot this quick reboot is necessary , but at least its now working.
And apps2sd is working for all the apps.

What partition you using? .,ext2, ext3, ext4,fat32?
Please tell how you mountend step by step
Are you able to link apps?
I think i found the error guys the problem related to lollipop is older version of lollipop.
By version 4.0 this problem vas solved.. .. Anyone plz try and reportback.. ..
It still doesn't automatically mount the second partition. Boots up, shows the error, after quick reboot, it then starts working. I guess init.d scripts aren't working at all. They are not at all mounted at boot no matter what. Tried init.d toggler, enabler and what not, nothing works at all. Problem is with lollipop probably.

I am using ext4 . And yes I can link apps now. I didn't do anything special. Its just like after booting once it needs to quick reboot once again to mount the second partition and then the linked apps appear. Its still not perfect but its working. I would not suggest to link any important apps , I am only linking games and theme apks etc. so that if something goes wrong it doesn't matter.

What do you mean by this? Are you trying to say that after we have lollipop, we have to go to twrp recovery and fix permissions and then try back link2sd and it would work then? Where did you find this info? Can you please provide the link?

Thanks but I dont think it's gonna work. Problem is not with permissions, problem is that init.d scripts are simply not run at boot at all and until and unless tht happens, nothing can be done. I used a test script which supposed to run at boot but it simply didn't run. I dont know whats going wrong with lollipop. I hope some senior member throws some light upon this issue and I hope the creator of link2sd is also listening.
[solved]
I confirmed that in lollipop build link2sd v4.0 released yesterday only work..
But one roblem there that after reboot u have to quick reboot everytime. This is I think bug in the init.d of the ROM not the link2sd fault...
It's up to mfn subscribers to report this bug as soon to make sure final build will come buggless........
If I am wrong..correct me.

I tried with ext4.. On thing is after restart dont creat another mount script.. simply go to reboot and chose quick reboot. .. .
But my phone restarts itself outta nowhere in every ROM! There was no Xposed module installed nor any other apps who want root permissions (I installed fresh KitKat 4.4.4 but still)
My main point is, it doesn't soft reboot, which makes all linked apps disappear after booting up. Any fix for this? (My phone was fell on the floor once which made it's screen cracked and I can't hear any audio anymore. I put the new screen but... :/ I don't think it'll be related to all of sudden reboots)
