To all who have used a custom partitioner in the past (before Unified came into existence). Follow the post of jopi79.
I ran out of time this morning so I am continuing now. The problem for people who converted to a 4GB/8GB setup is that in the proces the cache partition (/cache) was resized to a very small 123MB. Obviously 201MB doesn’t fit into 123MB so you’re stuck!
BEWARE using manual flashing will get you in the google apps updater loop! See Google Apps can't be reinstalled for more details.
Only work-around this evening is going the extra mile and FLASH a recovery image of 1.6 using the SP Flash method. If you are not comfortable with flashing an image to your phone, wait for the official new installer tomorrow!
Manual update procedure (different from flashing, see other post!)
- Make a backup (DONT SKIP THE BACKUP, you will wipe your phone in the process, so everything not backed up or on SD is lost)
- Download the manual update. (preferably the “storage 1.8.5”, since manual updating overwrites everything, so you might as well go for Unified)
- save to phones INTERNAL SD (in the downloads folder), the external SD (eg the card you can insert) is not accesable in recovery because e3 recovery will only see the internal SD. After this hole proces you’ve got Unified so recovery sees your external SD as the only one.
- boot into recovery
- install manually
- wipe cache
- wipe data
- reboot
- reinstall g-apps
- recover files from backup
- reinstall apps as needed
