Root [ROM] CTMod 3.80 (04/06/13)

If you back up the data for your launcher it will restore the settings too. And yes, /data mode will give you more space in the sense that it doesn't put anything on the internal memory, this means that whatever size you make the partition will reflect the total space you have.

In this case you can restore /system settings too sine its the exact same rom.


Now, keep in mind that I don't use TB, so this is all in theory. But if my understanding of the app is correct, then it will work fine :-)

Your launcher is an app too, its data can be backed up the same as any other app ;)

Sounds good and since same rom and all I will give it a try! Not tonight though, Time for bed. Will let you know if or how it works out, Thanks again and have a good night and weekend! ;):):D
 
Love this rom!! I have been using it since 3.68 and have had no major issues with it at all. The few things that have gone wrong were usually due to an app not installing correctly or not being fully compatible.

Well couple days ago my phone started rebooting by itself which I understand is not to unusual but it never happened to me before unless the battery was hot. Now it is doing it over and over at times. I decided to start from scratch again and reinstalled CTMOD 3.75.2 then started to set it up the way I like, at first all was well but then BAM reboot!! So Reimaged again doing everything but set up Voltage Control to load automatically at boot time. So far no reboots.

Now this all started a couple of days ago it seems at the same time as the new green icon from Google Play Services showed up, so my question is "Has anyone else had these reboot issues start suddenly and could Voltage Control have a compatibility issue with Google Play Services?" Thanks for reading and maybe answering!!
 
What voltage are you running? My brothers ran great at 900 for Months and then it started rebooting randomly... he backed the voltage down a step and them problem stopped.

Maybe you could try that (if you're overclocked.)

I always ran at 400 min and 900 max with default scheduler and governor.

I am going to let it run at default values for a day or two then nudge it up to see if there is a change.

I agree that it could just be that I am hitting a hardware limit after all this time but thought it odd that it happened the same day Google play services showed up on my phone. Could mean nothing at all that is why I asked here to see if anyone else had this issues all of a sudden.

I'll keep you updated as I make changes.

Titanium Backup?

Back everything up, switch to data mode, and restore it all. Is should work
Click to expand...

It all worked great! I installed 3.75.2 and then clicked data and just rebooted and all is great(don't know why others were having problems). I then restored all apps and data from titanium and all is great. Reconfigured whatever needed to be done and all is great, swap is working great too. Running a sandisk 32 10 and all checks out great. Now I have to say that I have been running ssm since day one and even with the new card, so after playing around the ssm is quite a bit faster in everything I do, the data mode has more storage and runs great! Also the ram(running) in 3.75 in ssm I always have 145 +or- free and with 3.75.2 in data mode only 100 free (with everything set up the exact same way), wonder why that is? Same amount of apps setup the same way for everything!

Just giving the imput on what I have done. The ssm seems way faster though!:):D
 
@ cwhatever

Ok So since you just went through this whole process.maybe you can help me.

I installed 3.75.2 and ran out of internal memory.So I decided to re-partition my card like vce2005

FAT32 = (left over space) / ext4 = 2GB / ext4 = 2GB / swap = 2GB

That way I can use DATA or SSM without re-partitioning the card.And I was going to use Data Mode after I re-partitioned.So I went into ClockworkMod and did a backup. And then I choose to partition the SD card from the ClockworkMod menu.I set the EXT4 partition at 2048 mb.And Also created a 2048 Swap Space.But when I rebooted the internal memory had increased.And I had a EXT4 partition.But All of my apps I ran from the SD card and home screen customization's had disappeared.So I went back into ClockworkMod and did a restore from the backup I made before partitioning the SD card.Now everything is back to the way it was before.I also included pics to show what I did

So since Im gonna try and do this right this time is this what I do?

1) Titanium backup (or another similar app)
2) back up the entire SD card
3) clockworkmod backup
4) reboot phone & repartition the card FAT32 = (left over space) / ext4 = 2GB / ext4 = 2GB / swap = 2GB
5) Choose Data Mode
6) Restore cockworkmod backup
7) Titanium backup last?

First, on 2nd ext you only need 500mb and swap only needs to be 500mb, when runng ssm I never saw more than half full in those. Were you running data before? If not then when you restore a backup, it puts everything in wrong places. The best is to just start from scratch and redo everything, like I did. If you were running ctmod before then use titanium to restore apps and data and all will work out good, if not running ct before then have to install all apps fresh from the store, That is what I see being best.
 
I have been running Data mode all weekend and is so great with all the extra memory and stuff, but I would have to say ssm is way faster, I mean way faster!!!! Using a real true class 10 sandisk card. Will run for a week longer or so to see. Just stating what I see in my experiences! I switched back and forth and even redone to make sure and all runs the same!
 
Im going to include this advice vce2005 gave me since I think its relevant to the conversation

hey Im going to do a similar partition like your card

FAT32 = 26GB / ext4 = 2GB / ext4 = 2GB / swap = 2GB

But Its difficult to get the partitions exactly the same size with the sdparter

can I take the sd card out and partition it on my computer ?

NOOOOOOOOO, partition the card on the computer wont work !!!!!!!!

You do everything correctly, however, I would not do any "backup/restore", but rather download the apps new from the PlayStore ( lots have changed in 3.75.2, so restoring some older stuff might cause you trouble. Also, to get the PlayStore icon show up, you need to sign out of your Google account and sign back in !! )

After you downloaded all your apps, use the "Odin Image File Creator to do a BACKUP..... That's all you need..... Run the .bat file, choose "2 = Gingerbread" and twice Y and your whole phone gets backed up to your computer, even your sdext....AND you can leave at the end of this backup a copy of the sdext_restore.zip on your sd-card to flash in CWM if needed !!

Odin Image File Creator : Odin Image File Creator

Is there no way to format my partitions on the card in a way that I can exactly control the size of the partitions instead of using the slider?Either a app or computer program that lets me enter the exact mb?
 
I always said..... "If you have several partitions already on your sd-card and want to start over, use MiniTool, connect the sd-card to your computer and delete all the partitions and create with Miniool ONE new FAT32 on the card...... then put the card in the phone and create with SDParter the partitions you want..... and yes, it's difficult to get EXACT values ( especially with big fingers ), but a few bytes here and there don't matter " !!

And yes, cwhatever is correct, the swap never ever will use 2GB..... I just set it up this way since I use a 32GB card and don't care about the three 2 GB partitions.... ;)
 
When I use the SSM, I always use the computer and adb to format my sd card. I just got in the habit of doing it that way since it was the only way it could originally be done.

Kouma has made a tool to do it now but I favor, lol, the old fashioned way.:p
 
Hello and thank you for this, my phone is way better, it would often shut itself off, and i had real problems with the stock and low space notices... I have just scored 3474 on Antutu Benchmark running CPU at 844 MHz ... And it's not a toaster!
 
I have run ssm for a very long time. I have tried data mode for a few days and made every adjustment possible and tried everything, I have to say that ssm is way faster and just had to go back to it! I just wish that ssm could have the storage that data offers, I will just deal with it to have the smoothness and speed!:);):D

I agree. The SSM is what I Always ran. It's fast.

Great I use my extra 1 for the same thing, for just data and information. The calculator n all neat stuff like that still works and obviously the wifi always work if needed please use.
 
I have found that I can put stuff on the SD card instead of internal memory that I only use once in a blue moon and that saves my internal memory space. Mainly all my games in a few apps. All the important stuff I leave on the phone internal memory. All my apps brought me down to like 20mb, after moving all of the stuff to the SD card that I don't use all the time I'm back up to around 90mb free. Some of my apps hold a lot of data this is working out good for me.

Yeah I still play around with CTMod on my prevail. Nice to know I'm not the only one that enjoys using it as a MP3 player. :)

Yep. It actually makes a great mp3 player. I use PlayerPro with its DSP pack. The added equalizer really makes a big difference in the quality of sound. The party shuffle feature is nice too. I just set it and go. :D
