Step 7: After successfully flashing all 4, find the option to create a new SD card partition. Make the partition size at LEAST a gig and a half. I chose 3 gigs.
First let me go on record as saying that making a 3GB partition is A. Hard on the phone, and B. really hard on the SD card and will lead to failure of the SD card way before it's time.
Although you may think this is working great right now, it is very bad in the long run for both the phone and the SD card.
The rule of thumb is never use more than 20% of the actual space available on the SD card for the partition. You need at least a 1GB partition in order for Link2SD to work properly.
The smaller the partition the better it is for the phone. If you have less than a hundred apps linked with Link2SD then a 1GB partition is great. Anything over 100 apps linked and you will need to consider making a 1.5GB partition.
To damiandownfall:
Go download Link2SD asap! Choose "ext4" then reboot your phone. Then go to Link2SD's settings. Make sure auto-link is checked, and re-link at boot is checked.
If SomeoneVeryConfused has any widget apps or apps that need to access the system functions like volumes and such, then they need to go on the internal storage. If linked with Link2SD they will not function properly or fail. Only choose the Auto Link function in Link2SD settings after those have been installed.
To SomeoneVeryConfused:
Step 5 can be accomplished by going to the wipe option in ZenGarden and selecting each option once.
In the BobZohme modified ClockworkMod VM670NH_recovery.img or the CWMT Recovery_5.0.2.7-th7_thunderc.img or the Xionia recovery
Wipe:
wipe data/factory reset
cache partition
dalvik cache (found in the advanced section)
Format:
(in the mounts and storage section)
format boot
format cache
format data
format system
format sd ext (if you have a partition on the sd card)
The ZenGarden recovery is great for making the SD card partition and converting the partition from ext.3 to ext.4. It does have a problem flashing things like the entropy.zip and might not even flash the kernel. Also: You can not use it to flash the ZV9 update or it will cause a bricked phone.
It would be best to use the ZenGarden recovery to make the partition and change it to ext.4, then flash the BobZohme VM670NH_recovery img which is the best at doing everything including flashing the ZV9 update without bricking the phone, flashing the entropy.zip, and the MiRaGe kernel.
It can be found here: VM670NH_recovery
You can also use the CWMT Recovery 5.0.2.7-th7 which has the touch screen controls, but you can't use it to flash the ZV9 update. It can be found here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/op...overy-5-0-2-7-th7-t-touch-ov.html#post1634762
Use the second link.
I usually use the CWMT and keep the Xionia recovery in it's zipped form in case I need to get out of a recovery loop (I have a ZV4 V). The Xionia recovery is also safe to use when flashing the ZV9 update. Xionia can be found here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/op...-custom-recovery-custom-roms.html#post1200365
Look at the bottom of the first post. You will see an attachment, that's the one.
If you have a ZV5 V then the zipped version of the COT would be the best bet for getting out of a recovery loop. I can't find a download link anywhere. I think damiandownfall will need to help with that one.
To damiandownfall:
The rest of your advice is really good including the use of the MiRaGe build that is in you zip. It is the best MiRaGe mrg666 has developed.
To SomeoneVeryConfused:
Note: For the best battery off charge times and the best overall performance, use the Interactive governor and set the CPU speed at min 480MHz-max 768MHz.
