[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giddy169:
Thanks for the reply. Now for a real noob question where do I add those lines? In other words where would I find the terminal file?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bit Banger:
I think "terminal emulator" comes pre-loaded in the rom and should be in your apps drawer.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giddy169:
Thanks I was missing that I will download it and try it,
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
Is the drive powered? The Gtab USB runs around 5v, definitely not enough to power a hard drive.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giddy169:
I have been trying a thumbdrive and a wall powered external. I have not been able to get either to work. I just installed TNT Lite 4.4.0 and went into terminal emulator and typed

mount -o umask=000 -t ntfs /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk

It then showed some options like -o -t etc. I then tried to look at the usbdisk in Ifilemanger but it just showed up as blank.

I then tried terminal emulator again and it didn't like the mount command or unmount command.

Thanks
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giddy169:
Thanks I got it to work. Now my other question is there anyway to make it permanent so you don't have to enter that info in terminal emulator everytime?

Thanks again
[Dell Venue] phucleo:
Hi all,

I though there's something wrong with my Venue, but checked others there're same problem. Venue has 2 speakers but only the left one works.

Is there any idea about your Venue's speaker
[Dell Venue] kdemoney:
The one on the left side is the speaker with the phone facing you and the mic is the one on the right side when the phone is facing you from what I have read.
[Dell Venue] shohratshankar:
I was pretty worried at first too. However, when I met a person from Dell he explained that 1 was for the Mic and 1 was a speaker.

It is the same for the Iphone 4 too.
[Dell Venue] phucleo:
Thanks for all information
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Well, okay, nothing really about space aliens and robots, but you're here reading, aren't you? :D

Lots of discussion about pro/con of the EXT4 filesystem, risks to data integrity without journaling (analogous to a transaction log for a database), the disappearance of the reboot option on Bonsai (and maybe other ROMs) because of this, blah blah blah this, blah blah that, and on and on and on.

There is another solution. You can still have the performance of EXT4, without journaling. With much lower risk to your data in case of the battery leaping out of the phone on a whim. And good ol' reboot can make a comeback too!

The nirvana is a linux command called 'sync'. Crusty old unix hacks like me will get a twinkle in their eye at the mention of this command.

sync does somesthing very straightforward and simple: It syncs the filesystems. Put another way, it flushes the in-ram buffers out to "disk", syncronizing the actual state of the filesytem with what is stored -- and stale -- in secondary storage (hard discs on the big boys, NVRAM/SD/whatever on phones).

I've been experimenting with this to see if I can improve data integrity while minimally impacting performance. Here's what I've done:

Using GScript Lite, created a simple Superuser script for rebooting that looks like,

sync

sync

sync

/sbin/reboot #Bonsai ROM

Why 3 syncs? Paranoid. Nothing more.

Optionally create a shortcut on the homescreen to invoke this script to easy one-button reboot. I did this a week ago, have been using this to reboot Bonsai 4.0.0 a gazillion (actually, a bazillion, but I'm rounding) times, and have had absolutely no problems at all. Seems to work.

Created a shell script that launches at boot, as superuser, that runs in an infinite loop waking up every 10 seconds to do a sync. No detectable impact on performance that I can see. This is what I'd expect, as there is never more than 10 seconds of filesystem activity sitting "dirty" in the cache, so the sync doesn't usually have much to do (most of the time, nothing).

What does all this mean? Well, it's sort of a "lazy" journaling, and much more efficient. There's still a higher risk of data corruption under uncontrolled loss of power than with journaling, but in my considered opinion its negligible with the usage model/patterns for this particular situation (a smartphone).

FWIW, before I implemented this method for reboot, I like others got FCs on apps randomly after using the 3-finger reboot, simply running reboot directly from a shell prompt, or back on Bonsai 3, using the power-button menu reboot command. With this sync approach, I have not had a single problem -- and I can reboot the phone again easily!

What this means for you

If you're enough of a hack to understand how to implement this stuff yourself, give it a shot (at your own risk!), and let us know how it works out.

For the rest of you, be patient... I'm putting together a package to make it simple to install all this (initially just for the Bonsai ROM, others to follow, maybe), and should have something to test in a day or two. If you're interested in being a tester, PM me. Looking for 10 people.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
I'm interested in this as I have been wondering about no_journaling for some time. I think it would help to prove or disprove the theory that no_journaling is causing data corruption. PM sent. :)
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
This is very interesting. I'll be watching this - depending on the results, it may be a good option for future versions of SRF.
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
I think a mod should move this thread over into the Development forum, please? :)
[Epic 4G General] epic4GEE:
This sounds interesting. So will this "lazy" journaling put the same or less wear on the nand chip vs journaling being enabled?

If it has the same or similar wear factor as no journaling, as well as no impact on performance. Then this mod is a no brainer IMO.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Does sync only cause a write operation for data that has changed, or simply rewrite the entire buffer to disk each time? I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this...
[Epic 4G General] poit:
It's better than nothing, but it still doesn't address battery pulls or phone freezes. It just provides a more graceful shutdown IF you do a clean shutdown.
[Epic 4G General] hotwired34:
I tried this on my phone and so far, so good. I am using ACS Frozen Rom 1.1.0 with Twilight 1.1.0. When I downloaded the GScript lite, there was already a script for reboot, I just edited it to add the sync lines. I assume that the #Bonsai ROM is a comment and not needed, so that was omitted. I have rebooted about 10 times (I know...many, many less than a Gazillion) and have not had any issues.

Thank you!
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
In terms of the precise impact on storage, it is indistinguishable from not doing it at all. All this does if change the timing of the writes -- you control it, rather than waiting for the OS to decide to flush the filesystem buffers.

In the case of a reboot, this makes a ginormous difference, because anything in cache that hasn't been flushed is lost if the system doesn't sync before quitting back into the bootloader.

Sent from my mind using telepathitalk
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
only dirty blocks.

sync should not cause anything to be written that wouldn't be eventually written anyway, when the kernel decides it is either idle enough to perform the deferred task, or cache "fullness" requires it to make room for newer data by flushing older stuff that hadn't been written yet.

Sent from my mind using telepathitalk
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
True on the reboot mod.

On the monitor, though, it can make a big difference in the case of catastrophe. The FS cache is never more than 10 seconds out of sync with the underlying NV secondary storage. Depending on the usage model, this may be enough to reduce risk significantly.

The interval, of course, is configurable. The monitor could sync every second, reducing risk further. Given the speed of the processor in the 4G, and the low overhead hitting sync when there's nothing to flush, the overhead at a one sec interval may be trivial.

I haven't progressed far enough with this nascent idea to have characterized such questions. It's on the work order, though.

Also, my rough experimentation with this is all via shell scripting, which has a lot of unnecessary overhead. Coding this into an Android service, calling the linux sync(2) system call directly will be much more efficient.

Sent from my mind using telepathitalk
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Yes, just a comment... across different ROMs I've found that devs mess around with the location, and linking, of the reboot command.

let us know when you get to a gazillion... our at least to a bazillion.

Oh, and anything with aliens or robots that comes up as well :D

[Galaxy Tab General] Jeepsdaddy:
I've tried every overclocked kernel in the Tab Android Development forum. Each one freezes. Has anyone with any AT&T tab to work with an OC/UV Kernel?
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Does it always freeze, or only if you overclock?

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] fwelland:
I have overcome 1.3.0 on an att tab. I use CPU Master Free (from market) and set to max 1200mhz - no other settings. I basically just leave it at 1.2. I haven't really observed that the cpu frequency has actually hit 1.2. For me, overcome has been very good, even before 1.2.

I have had one freeze issue using the ff camera. This required a hard reset (power button pressed for like 10 seconds). I had recalled an uptime of 193hrs sometime (it could have been a day earlier when I checked) prior to this hang. Upon reboot, no problems even using ff camera. That hang was 23hrs ago; things have been very stable.

I have had overcome 1.3.0 for about 2 weeks.
[Galaxy Tab General] Jeepsdaddy:
Yes it inly freezes with the overclocked versions.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
You misunderstand!

I'm asking if it only freezes when you actually overclock?

For example, I am running an overclockable kernel, but I'm not overclocking!

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] Jeepsdaddy:
It freezes in both states OverClocked and NonOverclocked.

The only versions which were stable were the Non-OC releases.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzer:
I think what almaldonado is saying is to try downloading apn back up & restore from the market on a friend's phone who uses Open Mobile with working data, phone, sms etc and on your phone as well.

Open up the app on your phone, use it to back up your APNs and then delete them (not the back up but the actual APNs on your phone). Open the app on your friends phone and hit back up APNs, that will make an xml doc on his sd card in a folder named apnbackrestore. Take that file and copy it to your apnbackuprestore folder, but before that move the APN back up xml file from your phone to your pc for safe keeping . Once your friends xml file is in your apnbackuprestore folder you can go to the app on your phone and hit restore APNs . I can't guarantee that this is what almaldonado meant or that this will work because I have not tried it yet but I will very soon, TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK

if it works please pass me the working xml file, I need it too!

and if anyone can give me the PRL and explain how the hell to change it I would appreciate it

Almaldonado -- You sound like just the person I need to talk to. I`ve been trying to get a Franklin u210 EVDO modem, that openmobilepr sold me, connected to their data internet system. Because I`m using Puppy Linux, their service department won`t help me. I think all I need is the APN, and maybe the username, to put into the connection software in the Internet Connection Wizard in Puppy. Do you think you could send me that info somehow?

Openmobilepr via EVDO USB modem, APN is #777

Okay, I`ve got it! A little social engineering did the trick. In the openmobile store I asked for a demonstration of the connection app, and under the settings tab were listed some connection data. At the top was the APN, #777. I just put that into Puppy`s Internet Connection Wizard, and Bingo! it worked. So this has nothing to do with handhelds, but since there`s so little info out there about openmobile, I think it`s worthwhile. To connect an EVDO USB modem to Openmobilepr, the APN is #777.
