Root [ROM] CTMod 3.80 (04/06/13)

[wetbiker7]

It's a class 6 card. So you think SSM would be the best option? Isn't there a sticky with the "best" way to install CTMod with SSM? I thought I saw it here somewhere. Thanks for the help guys!

I also saw where Kouma has an SD Card formatter. Would that be a good option?

Yes for both questions. I ran a class 10 card and still used the SSM. The phone just runs smoother.

Is there a good way to check to see if SSM is set up correctly? I think I've got it, but I just like to double check it.

For me, since I'm on data...
16gig card, C4

The ONLY thing slower, is the browser
It's a ram hogger...when I'm browsing i can't answer the phone
because it lags out...

Everything else, runs smoothly...

I think I'm going to trash this phone, get that new htc 4g from boost.

Yea man this phone opened the door to the other Android phones for Boost. It's definitely lacking. I'm trying to get the most out of it before I upgrade though. I'd like to have either the HTC or the LG Marguee. I'm just too damn cheap to buy either right now! Haha

When I typed that in, I see /data/app using 6% but I don't see data/dalvik-cache. I thought I had this right, but it looks like I screwed something up in the process. Any advice on how to set it up properly? Also, I'm not on FE19 yet. I'm still on FA19. I need to get on the new one!

did you make two partitions (3 total including vfat)? How did you make them?

If it was in cwm, did you use kouma's partition formatter (so it is ext4 and not swap)

If you used kouma's app, did you set the sdext to ext4?

If you used sdparted -i, when given the choice for format, did you type ext4? (ext2 is default, and will not work)

__________

Also with regard to FE16, if you use Odin to install just the FE16phone.tar, you will get the new baseband without losing anything or having to start over.

Yea, i tried to upload a new one i made, and usually the size isn't an issue, the site converts it for you... But it seems to be broken atm, and i can't even upload the old one now :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

No it's on their end. I'm not the only one with the problem. And my profile pic is different from the avatar i want to use. (they have always been different)

I followed Kouma's instructions:

1> Partition SD card (I used sdparted -i for that, though I did not change it from ext2)
2> put CTMOD zip on SD card
3> Install CTMOD
4> Boot phone
5> Select desired configuration in KoumaMod settings(SSM for me since I was having lag with Data Mode)
6> Reboot in to recovery and format SD-ext (and SD-swap if applicable)
7> Reboot in to Android

After this I ran the .zip to change the ext partition to ext4. I only created two partitions. I didn't think you needed three partitions. I want to use SSM and not Data. I am going to start now by ODINing back to stock with FE19. Next should be the formatting/partitioning of the card. This is where I'm messing up apparently.

 

[wemis]

I was in CWM when using sdparted -i.

If your going to repartition, use kouma's partition app it's SOOOOO much simpler. No more adb. Just select ext4 for both partitions. (also, the main part of you card where you store things us technically a partition too. So you are ADDING 2 partitions for a TOTAL of three.) [Vfat|ext4|ext4]

and if gonna do that might as well make a 4th (swap) small is all that is needed in case want to run swap it will be there. i just had a hard time getting the partion apk to work at first kept saying partitions still in use and can't remember how i got them shut off to get it to work. but is a great way!!!

bloodawn.... i acually just found out about rooting n development. my friend had a rooted phone n wouldnt sho me. so i did it myself. i managed to root and brick it in 1 day with rom manager.lol(samsung galaxy prevail) shouldve did more research.. ive always been in to technology n would like to start developing myself.. can u be a mentor to me? what are kernals/roms/mods? can i change them at will? is their anything else i need to know? your help would be greatly appreciated.

OK I am going to Odin back to stock FE19 right now. What steps do I take after that? Do I need to format the card before I install 3.68 or can I do it after the install THEN switch it to SSM?

 

[wemis]

FE16...My bad.

 

[cookieplatez]

So I flashed ctmod to my phone the other night.
Everything worked just fine.
The next morning when I woke up, my phone didn't work at all..
Wouldn't charge, wouldn't boot into download or recovery.
My sd card was also corrupted.
So I lost tons of important stuff that I'll never be able to get back.
I got it working again after 2 days, and now my battery like went from 8 hours with moderate use to 2 hours with no use at all.

I'm not worried about it, I just want to know if anyone could figure out what happened so it doesn't happen to anyone else.

 

[xiton]

CTMod is awesome. I've had a much older version running on my girlfriends phone forever. It's rock solid. I'm going to wait until the next major update that includes everything, and flash it over. I bet it'll be like a new phone.

I wouldn't expect too terribly much beyond 3.68. It's on the latest updates for our phone as well as the latest Koumamod, and it's rock solid as well. As a matter of fact, my phone has been running rock solid without a restart for the last 207 hrs and 18 minutes. I'd say it's pretty safe to upgrade!

 

[xiton]

Hm. I was under the impression it wasn't on the very latest update for the phone. If it is, I agree with you and I should just flash it.
