I looked at a stage 1 supercharger from DDMworks that adds 50 hp and that sucker cost almost $3300.00 . A stage 3 is $5350.00 and would give me 330 hp at the crank but I would need to upgrade my clutch . The stock one couldn't handle it . Can you imagine what that would be like in that light ass Solstice ? WOOOOWEEEEE !:D

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I installed the CWM version of the kernel. I can't seem to edit the koumamod file without the installation failing when used the CWM method. I get the the installing update part, and then it says installation aborted. Or was I supposed to install this, and then edit that file while it is on the phone?

The way I did it was to extract the KoumaKernel zip file, and open the system folder, and open the koumamod file with Notepad + +. I then single backspaced to remove the # from the areas I wanted them removed from. My edited file looks like this:

Code: 
on koumamod
# Default Internal /data partition. Comment this line to disable mounting of the internal /data (not recommended)
    mount ext4 /dev/stl13 /data rw noatime nosuid nodev barrier=0 data=writeback nobh nodiratime noauto_da_alloc

# Mount SD-EXT as /data partition (KoumaKernel 1.2 style) Uncomment this line to activate this mode
#    mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data rw noatime nosuid nodev barrier=0 data=writeback nobh nodiratime noauto_da_alloc

# Required Directory and Permissions. Do not edit these
    mkdir /data/dalvik-cache 0771 system system
    chown system system /data/dalvik-cache
    chmod 0771 /data/dalvik-cache
    mkdir /data/app 0771 system system

 Mount SD-EXT as /data/app and SD-SWAP as /data/dalvik-cache (SSM Style) Uncomment both lines to activate this mode
    mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/app rw noatime nosuid nodev barrier=0 data=writeback nobh nodiratime noauto_da_alloc
    mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /data/dalvik-cache rw noatime nosuid nodev barrier=0 data=writeback nobh nodiratime noauto_da_alloc

# /data permissions. Do not edit
    chown system system /data
    chmod 0771 /data
    trigger post-fs

If I try to install the .zip without editing the koumamod file at all, the installation seems to go just as it is supposed to.

I'm also a little confused on which point I am supposed to partition the SD car, or if that is something that is automatically done while installing this kernel?

Your eagerly learning noob!
 
you install the kernal then have to adb you phone to partition it says how on 1'st page in ssm mod part at bottom then follow instuctions in adb
 
Allright,yes I am overly cautious (I have but the one phone and he is my friend) I am rooted thanks to one click root (I held off rooting for two weeks while building the courage to do so) and running a stock rom ( I apologize for any damage cause by spit takes ) and a stock kernal (again spit takes sorry ). My question is can I drop this kernal on a stock rom without those pesky side effects like bricking or boot looping or losing all the data and apps I have so painstakeingly aquired?

I believe the answer is no. It has to be a rom on EXT4 and I believe the closest to stock rom you can use is http://androidforums.com/galaxy-pre...2-rom-gb-2-3-6-halfassrom-1-0-stock-ext4.html. So you would still have to flash that rom to your phone. I believe I read that rom is already on KK2.4 as well, so the kernel comes with it.

i did the same thing waited and when finally did it was like this wasn't so bad then when haveing cwm (clock work mod) made backups and messed phone up at least 100 times and always restored or just odin back and have had a blast since and
no for sure can't use kk on stock



if you backup ever thing using cwm to backup if you mess it up just restore and if putting a mod on you can just restore the sd ext or my friend has always been titanium backup and you really need the pro to do the really good stuff. that has helped me all along every time

Ok, I went ahead and used ADB to get the SD card formatted as desired. However, I still cannot seem to see where I am supposed to modify this koumamod file. Unless I was supposed to do the formatting, and THEN install the .zip file with the modified koumamod file? Or is there another way I'm missing?

EDIT: I tried installing the .zip after formatting while in recovery, and I still got the installation aborted error. So how can I make this happen? My main concern is making it so that I can put all of my apps to my SD to keep my system for giving the low memory warnings. I can see that my card is formatted correctly because it is an 8gb card, and now only shows as ~3.8gb card when connected in USB storage mode. Do I need to install an App2SD app to achieve this? My understanding in the release notes was that this feature was integrated into this kernel so that you wouldn't need to install an extra app. I could be wrong.

you will need something like root exploreer and then open it up go to system click it then scroll down to the koumamod and open it upthen to text editor then in there is the file to switch to data or ssm and before entering the koumamod on top there is r/o or mount r/w now r/w is what is suppose to do it meanning read/ write but for some reason r/o is what worked try them bolth and root explorer can be got on play store

is your phone rooted? if is and when you flashed kk2.4 it will be in ssm mode already and all apps will go to sd ext and delvik will go to other sd ext if formatted right and rooted and have to be on a mod other than just stock for all this to work.

What did you use to zip the installer? Winrar and 7zip are the only tools I know of that don't break it

Winrar. I selected add to archive, and then changed the archive format from .rar to .zip.

I'll try the above suggestion and see if that gets me going. Thanks for the help so far guys!

For non-CTMod users: (CTMod will have it integrated in 3.5)
Koumamod.apk

For anyone that didn't notice, Kouma stealthily added that to the OP. It's super awesome, you don't even have to touch a text editor to switch modes anymore. Thanks a billion Kouma, for those of us that are constantly changing roms, that really helps.
 
i talked to blood and he didn't know the answer and said kouma might. i have 3.5 kk2.4 ssm for sure 2 partitions. i've been running for a while now and the play store said i have app updates. i did them, 20 of them,and then did a reboot. then checked memory and had 145mb free before and after updates now have lost about 12mb.:confused:. what would cause me to loose memory from updates and didn't install anything new??:confused::confused::confused:. also did a delvik wipe and that didn't work either. anyone know what happened???

Ahhhhh, so that's what you meant in your PM.

Open a terminal app and type:
df

and send me everything it outputs. With that, I can tell you what happened

Looks to me like you have tons of space left

/data is only 20% used, /data/app is only 16% used, and Dalvik-cache is only 7% used
Click to expand...

well i do still have a ton left and have 120 apps. just was wondering why the drop in mb and will it keep happening? if it stabilized out, ok then. when i flashed 3.5 did a titanium backup and had around 110mb free (which is plenty, maybe greety and don't know why:p) then did a sd-ext restore and had 145mb free then this happened and wanted to know why?? but if stabilized out then so be it.:D:D:D


well thanks and i will see what happens from here out and thanks again for the kernal!!!!!!! is working smooth and great. oh yeah for the heck of it can i switch to data and then back to ssm??? don't know why asking because works great like this.

if you switch without formatting the sd-ext, the apps and settings from one mode will still be on the drive, but essentially in a different folder. So Android won't be able to see them because it doesn't expect to find them there. So, best case, it acts like a different set of apps, homescreen and settings.
Worst case, force closes and boot hangs. Most likely, something in-between, it boots and runs, but not quite right.
