So...once the ss3 is installed is the rom u r running on safe side in a slot already or u need to reflash it?

You'll have to reflash. Conversion to ss3 wipes everything on what was your "safe" side with previous versions.

Ok thanx. So i install ss3 and reflash rom im on and several others(depending on allocation of space per slot) and run whichever one i want? Am i understanding this correctly?

You got it. I have 2 slots with 2 gigs a piece for my partition.

not necessarily. I wiped my memory cards before I booted into SS just to make sure I had cleared up all the space I could.

I'd be more than willing to partition my micro SD card, up to 16 GB, for exclusive ROM storage (slots) and backup location use, to spare the storage woes of the internal, virtual, partition.

^^^
ROMs can only be flashed on internal SD.....Reason you cant flash on sd ext is cuz it would be wayyyy too slow

[Einsteindks]

Even with an Ultra SD XC 64 gig, class 10, UHS1? Amazon had a special, recently, WAY to good to pass up.

Just echoing the consensus here. Fantastic work dude!

[andlaw]

as always, never a disappointment! im very much digging the UI, the ease of setting up the rom slots, and the blazing speed of all the functions. You guys have really outdone yourself with this one!! and the fact its a touch recovery is great, cant say again how lucky the community is to have u working on $#!7 for us. thanks again Hash~

Ran into a bit of an issue. Initially I intalled my main rom "Simplex" to Slot 1 with a 3gb partition. Everything worked flawlessly for the day I ran with it. Even restored 300+ apps via TIBU with no issue.

Move forward a day: Yesterday I created a 2nd slot/partition of just 2gb and proceeded to install CM10 JB which worked flawlessly. I even cut down on the apps restored via TIBU to about just 100 of my most essential. Everything working fine in that slot/rom.

Late yesterday upon not being able to make/receive phone calls in CM10 (Probably a whole nother issue with that rom...) I rebooted to Slot 1 Simplex and now I am continuously getting the warning: Low on volume space: Internal Storage Space is getting low... - Even though I have done nothing more in this original slot as in installed new apps, ect...

Any ideas? How to solve? Thanks.

The main issue is that the stock ROMs use the /sdcard as primary storage, instead of /sdcard-ext. I'm working on a fix. To change the way your Simplex ROM works reverse the /sdcard and /sdcard-ext lines in the /system/etc/rootfs/init.mapphone_cdma.rc file:

Change this line:
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /mnt/sdcard
To this:
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /mnt/sdcard-ext

And this line:
export SECONDARY_STORAGE /mnt/sdcard-ext # Feature 34534
To this:
export SECONDARY_STORAGE /mnt/sdcard # Feature 34534

I should get the word out to devs who are working on MotoBlur ROMs that this would be the preferred setup for SD cards now.


Also the 3GB data partitions are really only there for HEAVY app users. In almost every case they are way overkill. I would bet that even 300+ apps fit on the 2GB partition.

How's your free space on the 3GB partition look? (use "df" in shell)

I was having this issue with low memory earlier. In my case I fixed it like this

What happened is you made the partition 1 gb and now need more space. I just backed up my rom slots,switched to the stock rom slot so i could edit my custom rom slots then deleted the ENTIRE 1gb rom slots. Then I went back and remade the rom slots at 2 gb this time. Activate the rom slot you want and restore your backup to the new 2gb location. All is well afterwards.

Thanks. I think I pulled that off - copied the mentioned file to the extSD card and then edited with notepad via the PC then copied it back to the /system/ect/rootfs/ DIR and corrected permissions to rw-r-r I believe. Rebooted and .... Wait a minute. As I'm typing this just got the "Low space...." warning all over again

And I'm not sure where or how to check that last sentence you wrote about "df" in shell?

Disregard, I think I figured the shell part out - Here is what I get:

Could someone test and confirm about how many apps will fit on a 1GB partition?

Obviously depending on the apps this will vary but it would be nice to have a rough idea.
