Root [ROM] CTMod 3.80 (04/06/13)

I wanted to thank everyone who contributed to making my phone kick ass individually, but it was a huge post, so let me minimize by saying- Thank you devs and 'helpful' forum contributors. This is the best place I have found to learn about my phone, and how to fix what i've broken.

I have searched and have not been able to find what I am looking for now though. This is what I did: odin'ed the fa16 image (with cwm and root) but used the ej06 phone.tar (did this because it was recommended somewhere in this thread for a different issue I had when I installed 3.2), I then used CWM to install CTrom 3.3, and the apkinstaller.zip to put back stock keyboard (hate the icecream sandwich one) and the original (no beta) swype, as well as gmail, and telnav (sorry I actually use those). It was successful. I then installed golauncher and and removed the duplicate program types, rebooted and realized I didn't make go the default launcher and wanted to cry because I had to do it all again, so I did, made go the default and rebooted, all was well, I uninstalled zeam and rebooted, still was good so I went to bed. When I woke I tried to check the weather, and had no launcher, again :mad:. I re-odin'ed, reflashed CTmod, and have left it alone, all bare-bones and ugly.

So my question is, what do I need to do to keep golauncher up and running? I do not understand what happened to it, why it stopped. I was quite happy to just have swype back so I guess the launcher really isn't a big deal, but I am not confident I can make a theme like what I want on my own, and my phone is so close to finally being perfect for me...

Thank you to anyone who can help, it is greatly appreciated (and I posted here because I am running CTMod- not because it is the issue, just want to be clear on that).

And on a side note, for the text editing for kouma kernel's data, is there an easy, free editor to change that in? I don't know much about that and the only things I found are paid apps. (i'm only referring to turning on the data to sd-ext, not re-coding or anything intensive)

download go launcher from here GO Launcher v2.83 | GO Launcher | GO?? GO Launcher v2.83 | Offical blog of GO Launcher and use the apkinstaller to install it

then you can remove zeam and shouldn't have any problems.

you can use the file explorer in the rom to edit the koumamod file

go to the sdcard tab
press menu and settings and check show hidden and root explorer
press back, press where it says Internal/mnt/sdcard and select Internal
go to /system and press menu and Mount R/W, press back
long press koumamod, open as, text, file explorer, make your change, press back, hit save and reboot
 
I'm a little confused. How can you have 2GB of internal memory? My prevail has very little internal memory. Are you sure your not referring to your external SD memory?

According to titanium backup and the prevail specs: Internal Storage Memory is 500MB.

Unless you extended it to the SD card, I can't see how it's possible.

you can edit the koumamod file so the sd-ext is used for the whole /data partition

the default setting only uses the sd-ext for /data/app
 
Could anyone suggest a good screen shot app? I would prefer free but whatever is good.

Hey Bloodawn, any plans on putting a screen shot app in CTMod like Cm7 has?
 
Thank you for your very quick response, as well as everything else you do. Will try it now.


Edit: nice :) seems to be ok so far, followed Bloodawn's directions for editing text- worked perfectly (of course), now showing 3.6g available internal storage, and 24g free on sd. kinda wish I'd saved some money and bought a smaller card... and so far golauncher is still working, uninstalled zeam, and rebooted... hopefully it stays this time. Is the market version different than the one you indicated from their blog? (I downloaded like you said and installed through the apkinstaller.zip- was just wondering)
 
Hey guys i have been out of the loop for about a week or so and i have a new question. I am kind of concerned about the memory usage on my phone. Biggest things currently on my phone are: Google Play Store 6.39mb, Yahoo Messenger 5.63mb, Google Voice 3.26mb, imo messenger 3.16mb, Facebook Messenger 3.01mb, Widgetsoid 2.78mb, Yahoo Mail 2.55mb, Textfree 2.48mb. Now my problem i am getting at is that my gf is having me try to get programs so she can call me on them (she has no service to her phone) She tryed Viber the other day and it was like 10mbs, i removed Viber today and my phone is now at 53mb, if i installed the new updates to ctmod would i get more space? Also on a side note does anyone know of a program i can have my gf download to her phone to make free calls over the wifi on her phone?

Install CTmod 3.3
Partition your SDcard
Profit

How much internal memery should my phone have after I first flash the new ctmod? I switched from honeybread. With that rom I had 427mb with no new app installed. Since I flashed ctmod I havent put on any apps and I only have 116mb. I flashed ctmod but didn't partition my card because I didn't want to loose my backup from the card. So I pun n a different card and partitioned that one but no change n storege. And in site?
 
That picture is kinda trippin me out.

yeah, I figured I could post a screenshot of the app, or a screenshot from the phone, then I figured, what the hell, a screenshot of the phone taking a ghetto screenshot of the app showing a screenshot of the phone taking a ghetto screenshot of the app.

it doesn't stream the phone's screen, but I'm sure the source is available at google's website, it's just a jar launched from a batchfile

you can edit the koumamod file so the sd-ext is used for the whole /data partition

the default setting only uses the sd-ext for /data/app


having it set for /data is what increases what your internal storage shows up as
 
file explorer -internal-system-koumamod-then i make it r/w then open koumamod as a text file using file explorer then remove # before the mount sd-ext as /data then i back out and it asks do you want to save changes i press yes then it says save failed
 
RemovedApps.zip and Stockapps.zip are the same? cant find SprintAndroidExtension.apk. If different where can I find it? Help, please. Thanks
