Re: [Tutorial] New device setup (CWM, ROM, Kernel, Netflix)
Step 3: Repartition
You may have had your device for awhile, and things have been going well, but at some point programs will start crashing causing you to have to Force Close them. This is due to some weirdness with the way Viewsonic partitioned the internal memory, so we are going to repair that.
These steps will wipe out all of your data on the internal storage, so if you have anything important to you in there, back it up!
Partition
1. Boot into ClockWorkMod by pressing and holding both Power and Volume + simultaneously.
To navigate within ClockWorkMod, you'll use Volume + to move down the list of options and Volume - to move up. The Home button selects that menu choice, and the Back Arrow takes you back a menu level.
2. Go to advanced
3. Choose Partition SD Card
4. Choose 2048M for the first choice
5. Choose 0 for the second choice
6. This will take a couple of minutes to complete, and all you data will be lost if it was not backed up.
Fix Permissions
1. Boot into ClockWorkMod (I actually did this step immediately after doing the Partition and did not have to reboot my device. I don't know whether that may cause issues for me in the future though.)
2. Go to advanced
3. Choose Fix Permissions
4. Now you will want to reboot the system, but please note that there are two reboot options in CWM. Once the Fix Permissions process is done, you will automatically be returned to the option to Reboot ClockWorkMod. This is NOT the option you want to choose. You will want to press the Back button once to return to the base menu and choose Reboot System.
