...it does just that, it disables internal data, so everything Runs,loads...scans,searches...off your SD Card.

It wont affect anything...youll be fine, just click it,reboot...
and your GPS works.

Doing this will allow your GPS to work. thats how data works with GPS.

SSM Mode, uses internal..differently...much smoother...but it depends on the user and their wants/needs for SSM or DATA mode.

Still, the prevail is limited, im going to get that HTC 4G from boost, unless they come out with something better, like a Samsung,motorola...
bigger screen,bigger storage,bigger internal..etc
kinda sounds like describing the markee?

OK, I did as suggested. I set the kouma to the data setting and rebooted. Next I formatted the partition. I downloaded maps and upon its first try I received a message that login failed. I did get the symbol in the status bar that GPS was searching, which was more than was happening before.

The swap setting is still blank. What should the full path for the swap setting be?

Any ideas why I got failed login? Was is because of the swap setting?

mine, is
/data/swapfile0
with 100%


Failed to login...

once you start Google Maps, youll get 3 notifications on the top taskbar
..3 triangle,exclamation mark notifications.

does NOT matter what sequence you do...
but just click on one, it will ask, "Do you allow...blahblah"
click ALLOW
do this for the other 3

once done, you might or might NOT have to restart the maps app


but when you do, go into settings, you should see your email address logged in

....remember, in KOUMA KERNEL SETTINGS
check, "Disable internal/data"
or gps wont function..

If I long press this address box it gives different paths, but I don't have swapfile0 listed under data.

I had this checked from the get-go as suggested somewhere else. I had to uncheck it for the gps to work. Also, the gps only worked temporarily. I think this was because I didn't reboot.

the "swapfile0" is created, when you select the data/ folder. its just a file, much like windows, "Prefetch" file you just select the location, mine is /data/

The DATA MODE works off of, SD-CARD
so the GPS wont work, because everything, maps included, work off the sd-card, so thus, disabling "internal/data" fixes this and forces it to run off the card...since your on DATA MODE>

hope this clears things up

My gps didn't work until I unchecked the "Disable Internal/ data" feature. This is opposite from what you guys are doing.
