Took them down temporarily. Put new ones up. they should be good now
Anyone who downloaded them before (All 15 or so of you)
You need to Re-Download KK2.1
If you have problems, the first thing you will be asked is if your md5sum matches the OP. if it doesn't, you will be laughed at and your problem will be ignored

SSM is similar to DarkTremor's A2SD but Dalvik Cache moves a bit better and it doesn't create weird ass symlink loops all over your folder structure.
It's much better than Link2SD because it doesn't pollute your folder structure with symlinks that can cause the system to have all kinds of problems if you ever swap sdcards or forget to put one in
Using the Data mode is by far the most superior because it simply replaces the internal memory with the sdcard completely. The downside is, most of us have cheap slow ass cards that can't keep up. So you end up with lots of space, but a phone that's too damn slow. Fast cards run great with this.
Soooooo, it turns into 3 tiers
SSM mode without the SSM partiton: Slowest SDcards, decent potential space gain
SSM mode WITH the extra SSM partition: Mid range SDcards, Excellent space gain
Data mode: Fasted SDcards, Maximum space gain

That's what I figured. On the standard setup, I was running low on memory with just my normal apps and 2-3 games installed (damn google and their 10 cent app sale). On my current setup without SSM, i'm nowhere near full even with a 1 gig partition. Plus, my phone is mostly used as an mp3 player so I'd rather not use any more space that could be used for some banging tunes.
I just started seeing a bunch of "OMG SUPASAYANHAXMOD IS THE AWESOME!!1111" posts and was wondering what i was missing out on. I'll pass on SSM, but its definitely a cool idea. Thanks

Is this still EXT4 only or does it work on RFS?
I didn't ask for the source it was based off of. I asked for the source of "your" kernel, including any changes or modifications you've made/added.

doesn't have anything to do with the rom or the kernel. your market is updating to the new version called Play Store or something like that
try rebooting and the new icon should show up

Try this, go settings/applications/manage applications and look for the app (Google Play Store) tap on it, clear data and uninstall updates.
go back to apps list and look if it's there but, as market.

only for ext4. the only rom I know of that uses RFS is stock, and that's what HalfAssRom was made for
Hroark has a thread that has the modified source. I could share my .config when I get back to work, and write up a list of the various utilities I used post compile and hex editing I did, but damn near noone would understand it (Hell I can't some times
)

Do you plan on making any more RFS versions? Reason being aside from popular demand EXT4 is in no way a safe or reliable FS even with journaling enabled. I mean people can argue but I've done ROM building over the course of several devices and I know better. EXT4 corrupts over time, the ROM begins to slow in performance, and user data and system data runs the risk of becoming corrupted. This is an issue I've never had on either RFS or Yaffs2. Trying to get a solid, stable setup for my girl's device with basic root and the built in data to sd you've been using in your kernel, for the FA19 build.

KK1.2 works just fine with RFS. I haven't found out exactly why, but the rfs modules will load with KK2+ but the RFS filesystems just won't mount
I would consider Yaffs2 far superior to RFS considering that RFS is really just VFAT with journaling and permissions shoehorned in from EXT4. (You can actually take an RFS .img file and mount it in linux as a vfat loop device)

Cool ! This is a neat kernel . I just got through trying out both options and they worked beautifully . Nice work Kouma .
I thought that it was kinda neat after I enabled the option to mounted sd-ext as the entire /data, went in CWM and cleared the dalvik cache , rebooted and saw that I had almost 2 gigs of internal space .
Just want to give you fellas a little heads up . If and when you change the options , it will wipe your current homescreen configuration . I had to go in and re-enable ADW Ex and all of the apps that need SU access . No biggie , just wanted you guys to know so that you can backup your launcher settings if your launcher gives you that option . You can restore those settings since they are stored on your sd card . It'll save you a little time .

Noob question: I just downloaded kk 2.1, and went to the config file to activate /data with notepad on my computer, before transferring to my phone. After I opened it, the three lines of the script were one line with no spaces. Did i break it?
I'm gonna re-download and try to edit with the phone before flashing, but i'm still curious.

I don't know what you did wrong if anything . Sometimes Notepad on a PC will do that and stretch the text out . If it has all the text that is supposed to be there , just find where you are supposed to add or remove the # .
I did it like the instructions said and did it on my phone . I used Root Explorer to edit the text and it worked fine .
EDIT : MAKE SURE THAT YOU WIPE THE DALVIK CACHE IN CWM.

you need to open the file with a linux compliant text editor like notepad++
Windows notepad is notorious for not interpreting anything but carriage return + linefeed as a newline character
Linux uses just the newline character (aka linefeed)
adding in the carriage returns will break linux scripts

Gotta love the fact that there still is carriage return issues between operating systems. I personally use Notepad++ whenever I do any programs or scripts. The infamous /n and or CR can be annoying depending on which operating system your going to. I use Linux Mint at home but do have a dual boot to Windows when I need to.
I would freaking switch back to Ubuntu if they would fix all the dang Unity issues. Though I will admit lately I've been looking at Slackware and or Fedora. I just hate using RPM based distro's I've had bad experiences in the past.

NotePad sucks for viewing things like this... Use NotePad ++
