[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Cool, good luck. Sometimes it can be a pain getting the right drivers for adb to work on Windows 7, at least so I've heard. I'm sure you do, but just to make sure, you have USB Debugging checked, right? And also, the phone is in 'charge only' mode when you do it. When I tried adb, before I had the correct drivers, I didnt' get a 'device not found'. I got something like 'starting daemon on port 5037, error 2, daemon failed to start, daemon not running" or something along those lines. I would double check the simple stuff, and also you're sure the cable you are using is good? It would just suck if you had the right drivers set up already, and it was some other simple thing that was forgotten.

The cord is good cause I have three diffrent cords. The daemon starts just fine. It simply reports a # that my phone is not rooted and also when i try to run adb shell it tells me the device is not found. This is why I think this is a driver issue related to windows seven. Im going to try flashinig my oldest recovery the HTC sense one and see if that works for me. Ill be getting right back to you guys so dont go anywhere. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You have the hboot drivers?

And I wanted to go potty. :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Okay, I got ya now. Did adb commands work up until you tried to enter shell, and then it said device not found? When you first connect, and after the daemon starts, when you type adb devices, do you also get device not found?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kidromulous:
Wimax ..... fail

Im assuming you mean to boot unrevoked forever on my phone. Other than that the problem is likely my hboot drivers and I have not een able to figure out a way to fix it where my phone works with adb. Help?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kidromulous:
Wimax ..... fail

yes thats exactly what happens adb commands work up until i try to use adb shell and then it says my device is not found.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Are you positive you're s off? Check your bootloader. You had no luck on a Sense rom, I take it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kidromulous:
Wimax ..... fail

yeah im positive im s off. No luck with sense I restored it back to the state right after I used unrevoked. I keep my recoveries. The issue appears to be a driver issue having to do with windows seven as far as adb goes which is why i was trying to figure out how to get the drivers for the boot loader right. I dont know what else to do here because restoring wimax would be relatively simple if I could get adb to work. Is it even possible to not be s off and have a custom recovery?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Yea, it's possible. When I used unrevoked to root my girl's Evo, when it finished, I wound up with S-on for some reason. The clockwork recovery had pushed through successfully, so I used the recovery to flash the unrevoked forever s off tool, and that turned S off. So yea, I guess it is possible to be S-on with custom recovery. The reason I'm not convinced it's a driver issue, is because if it was driver related, I wouldn't expect adb commands to work at all, before you try to enter shell. IF you type 'adb devices' and your device shows up at that point, I have trouble believing that you don't already have all the correct drivers. adb wouldn't work at all, if you didn't. I've never actually encountered the problem you're experiencing, and I haven't had a second to do a search on here for you, but I'm just throwing things out there at this point. Download 'terminal emulator' from the market. open it up, and type 'su'. Do you get a # ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
It is possible to be s-on with recovery, I've seen it a few times. And k2buckley is right, I don't think its a driver issue..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kidromulous:
Wimax ..... fail

Ok so would you believe I get a #. Aint that something what should I do next?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Well, if you wanted to save some time, you could try entering your commands through terminal emulator..It may take a bit longer, not having a real keyboard, but you should be able to do what you need to do.

It is very strange that it's not showing # through adb. Have you by chance tried changing kernels? What kernel are you on, and what rom are you currently on while trying this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kidromulous:
Wimax ..... fail

So I need to go back to unrevoked and use the tool to cut s off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kidromulous:
Wimax ..... fail

ADB does show a #. I dont run into any problems untill I try to use ADB shell and then I get the device is not found. So should I cut S back on and re root the phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I wouldn't have suggested that just yet. I'm going to research your issue in a second. Don't unroot it, for now. So you type 'adb shell' and you get a #? then what is the next command you're trying to enter? exactly as you're typing it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
When using adb, I have never actually had to use 'adb shell' when doing any commands, so that might be a work around.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
If you're getting a pound sign, then you are s-on, and not rooted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Is that your problem all along? I thought you were having trouble with adb shell. Unless I missed something earlier (and I aplogize if I did), this is the first I've seen you mention of fastboot. If you enter that fastboot command, and then you get 'fastboot is not a valid command", that most likely means that either you're not in the folder with the fastboot.exe, or you don't have the fastboot.exe at all. Make sure that you have the fastboot.exe in androidsdk\platform-tools.

You are correct sir, and for the sdk check the tools or the platform folder, it moves depending on which version you are on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Not to make the job more difficult, but I have Win 7 x64, and on the Moment, ADB was no problem.

Actually, on the Evo, it's not a big problem, but I still hada few issues.

Anyhow, what I Was gonna say is that if you can afford to give up a little hard drive space, install Ubuntu or what ever Linux build you prefer, d/l the Linux SDK and run it in Linux.

For me, it's just easier....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kidromulous:

yeah i was getting the $because of the terminal emulator program i downloaded

when i gave that su the computer gave me the #

im going to insure fastboot is in the sdk tools and try again. I dont think im going to install linux on my machine so ill try everything else I can. Its platform-tools in the new sdk btw. It used to be just tools.

instead i am getting

I have no idea but all the other fastboot commads work for example

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
And when it boots to the bootloader, what does it show as hboot version? Is it the Eng .76? Only Eng .76 supports extended fastboot commands, from what I understand.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kidromulous:

Oh i see the issue. My boot loader version is 2.10 eaning i just wasted my day trying to fix the wimax cant do it with that bootloader lol.

WTF
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
There is actually a way to downgrade the bootloader. It just depends on your erase size block, and your hardware version. It states not to attempt if you are on hardware 0004.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883548

Also, you can check your erase size partitions, by doing this

adb shell

cat /proc/mtd

and you should get back something that looks like what you see below. you'll either have an erase size of 00020000, (as you see mine is), or you'll get back 04000. If you have 00040000, that bootloader downgrade method is worthless to you. If you have 00020000, you should be able to attempt that, if you so desire to.

[HTC Aria General] cranked:
I am trying to salvage my internal memory on my Aria with S2E. I am able to select the "Download cache" checkbox, but "Applications", "Private apps", and "Dalvik cache" are all greyed out (can't select them).

I am really only worried about moving Dalvik to my SD card, but have no idea why it is greyed out.

When I load S2E, I get the following message "S2E has been granted superuser permissions", so I think it isn't a permissions issue.

Any thoughts?
[HTC Aria General] tommyguns818:
Do you gave the latest version of s2e? Because the latest update fixed that for me. Also make sure you have a big enough ext3 partion. I'm running a 200mb ext3 partion and have tons of space now. I even have dalvik on the partion to.
[HTC Aria General] cranked:
Ah...that must be it...I haven't set up my ext3 partition. I am going to do that via ROM manager now.
[HTC Aria General] tommyguns818:
I don't think rom manger will do that correctly. I used gparted live CD. Google about it. It was pretty simple.
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
That is most likely the cause. This same thing happened to me when I attempted to use s2e with ext4 which isnt supported.

Rom Manager will definitely work. I originally used Rom Manager to partition my ext3 partition. But it has a size limitiation (512MB?). Anything bigger than that will require gparted (or another partition manager via ubuntu)
[HTC Aria General] stealthycow:
how long ago did you use ROM manager to make an ext3 partition? I was just partitioning my SD card a couple days ago for s2e and ROM manager didn't give any options for what ext type to make. just asked for partition size, swap size and automatically set up an ext2 partition.
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
Im not sure how long ago I used it. The very first time I used Rom Manager to parition it gave me an ext2 parition. But the most recent time I used it, it just automatically set up a ext3 partition.
[HTC Aria General] cranked:
Thanks to the collective. I used Gparted, to make a 1024MB Ext3 partition, and S2E works like a charm now.

I tried to do an Ext4 partition first, but it was pointed out that isn't supported by S2E...that clue saved me a ton of time, as did the Gparted Live CD tip.

My phone is back to where it was, and I went from having 25MB free internally, to over 150MB...I have needed this for a LONG TIME!

Thanks!
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
For those of you using S2E, have you noticed whether moving apps and/or dalvik cache to the SD card slows the phone down at all? Just wondering.
[HTC Aria General] tommyguns818:
My phone can reboot under 2 minutes being that I moved cache and dalvik to partition. Its a snappy little aria.
[HTC Aria General] enewman17:
s2e

I use a kingston Class 6 8gig card with apps and dalvik on sd using s2e, ext 3 with 512Mb (Used Rom Manager). First time boot after flashing always take a little longer. other than that every other boot after that is just like normal, have not noticed any ill performance issues. Been using for more than a month now.
[HTC Aria General] cranked:
I see no differences in performance.

[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
I have both apps and dalvik moved to SD with s2e and there is no noticeable difference in performance. Im running a cheap SanDisk 8gb class4 card.
[HTC Aria General] nth20:
Moving apps to the sd-card does slow the phone down if you use class 2 card which is generally bundled by the device manufacturer. For use with S2E a class 4 sd-card is required minimum. The ones who have higher class sd cards like 8 or 10, you should move apps. You should see a performance jump.

For normal sdcard users (2 or 4), I will not recommend moving applications and private apps, just move dalvik cache and download cache. should give you enough internal space without hampering on performance.

For partitioning the sd card use mini tool and partition it on the PC (see attached image). make sure you make a fat32 1st, 2nd ext2 & 3rd Linux swap. Thats the only way it works. Also dont forget to select 'Mount as Ext4' in S2E Settings. Best of luck.

Hi.

I used s2e script to free some space on my desire ( CM7 ) , but i'm having some problems. I'm using a new HP 16GB class 10 sd card (write speed 11.2 , reading speed 30.9). First I moved everything in my 2gb ext3 , but I was having force close issues for many apps and I was unable to move apps to the fat32 partition thrugh app2sd app (not enought space). So I moved /data back to /data and these 2 problems were resolved. But I'm facing a new problem now. When I'm having a call and I take the phone away from my ear, most of the times the screen doesnt turn on until the other person hangs up (even if i press the power button). How can I resolve this? Also can I move /data back to ext3 , without having the problems I mentioned before?

Thanx in advance
[HTC Aria General] nth20:
Could be a lot of reasons. Highly possible that there are too many active apps leaving very little RAM. Have you checked how much RAM is being used?

I use a nifty widget called 'Go TaskManager Widget'. http://bit.ly/wRV7xI ... use it if you are using GO Launcher.

[HTC Aria General] geomad:
Hello, Thanx for your quick reply!

i just downloaded an app and my free ram is like 31% , when the phone its idle. Is that not enough? What can I do to resolve this issue? Will creating a swap partition in my sd make any difference?
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
Don't move your /data partition to sd-ext. Move Dalvik cache first, and if you need more space, then move your applications as well. If you still need more space, then you're doing something wrong.
[HTC Aria General] geomad:
so there is no way tomove /data with a hi speed sd card witout problems right? What about the second problem i'm facing now , with everything but /data moved to ext ?
[HTC Aria General] dagwud:
CWM 5.0.2.3, as made available in these forums by attn1, also works for partitioning SD cards. I never got gparted to work right with my card, for some reason. But the "Partition SD Card" option in CWM did it right nice.

My Aria's not telling me that it's out of memory anymore. And that's good news.
[HTC Aria General] nth20:
You are welcome :)

31% could be less. What's the total RAM for your device? Generally around 100 MB of free RAM is desirable - the more the better.

Since RAM cannot be upgraded, either decrease the number of active apps or use some app like RAM Manager (free) http://bit.ly/wGLqdP to help Android manage RAM better. Swap partition will not help RAM usage.

Another reason for lag on your device could be if you move all your apps to SD. Since Android doesnt manage SD Card properly and needs a little time to access the card. In most cases any delay while access results in lag or worse - force close.

Hope this helps.

Community: http://on.fb.me/Root4Andrd
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
You do not need to worry about RAM consumption on an Android device, even if you're below 100MB. Android will free up RAM if it needs it.

In any case, RAM doesn't appear to be the issue here. In fact I don't even think S2E is related to the problem. I think geomad's problem is probably just an issue with his proximity sensor.
[HTC Aria General] geomad:
my free ram is ~130 MB . I have all apps to sd, but the phone runs very smoothly. I have read somewhere my problem could be related to the proximity sensor, but this problem occured when i started using s2e , so i think it related to this. If i remove the phone from my ear about 5-10 seconds after the call beggins then the screen turns on . the problem appears when i try this having the phone in my ear more than 10 secs.

Thanx for you answers

edit: i tested my sensor and it seem to be working fine
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
Weird. I don't really know what would cause that. Only other idea I have is to clear the app data for the Phone app. However I have no idea what all that might clear (probably erases your call log and stuff like that) so you should take a backup beforehand just in case.
[HTC Aria General] CaptainMaki:
is the Linux swap partition is mandatory? would like to know that if I'm using gparted to partition the phone and not Rom Manager.
[HTC Aria General] geomad:
another question i would like to ask, apart form my issues, is whats the difference between an ext4 partition and an ext3 ( mounted as ext4 from s2e settings). i curently use ext3
[HTC Aria General] CaptainMaki:
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/05/ext2-ext3-ext4/
[HTC Aria General] geomad:
Thanks for your answer but this actually is easy to google. What I asked is if there's any difference if I have an ext4 or i use an ext3 mounted as ext4 .
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
The performance should be the same with both configurations. I believe some devices cannot read ext4 partitions natively, but would be able to read ext3 partitions mounted as ext4 as a workaround. Also on some devices Clockworkmod can't read ext4 partitions, so wouldn't be able to backup or restore them. I don't know if either of these limitations actually apply to the Aria though as I've never tested it.
[HTC Aria General] nth20:
are you moving private app also? if so, uncheck option. use sd-ext4 from the settings and reboot. should work.

Hi,

i just got this phone and i was really excited but then it all went wrong

Unlock screen is choppy

I found the menu preview is so choppy

Sliding to the next screen is choppy

The camera loads after ages and takes photos ages after u click the camera button

The camera is no good all images come out soft and all eyes in the images turn out white.(Someone reported that removing the back cover makes the images shaper, Its true, try it.

The extra layer of software by LG on top of the vanilla causes this problem.

Great hardware and AWFUL LG software.

The dual core is useless, Multitasking takes longer than the HTC phones. the widgets are awful, there is not facebook integration like some HTC phones so u end up with duplicate contacts and have to merge them manually.

[LG Optimus 2x] jpbl1976:
Try another launcher

Before returning your device, I suggest you try another launcher program. Launcherpro Plus works like a dream on my 2X.

Not to make excuses for them but I didn't expect much from LG, software-wise; they're new to this. It takes time for a company to get their software right -- a good case in point is HTC with Sense. Their first Sense implementation (back during their WinMo days) was laggy and buggy but after years, they've gotten to the point where their UI is actually ported by custom ROM makers to non-HTC handsets. Touchwiz has also gotten better (although I jettisoned it from my Galaxy S) but Motorola, which is still relatively new to the "skinning" paradigm still needs work on their Blur interface.

On top of that, the LG widgets actually work pretty well on LP-Pro, so you don't lose the use of the nice weather and clock widget as well as the calendar/agenda widget.

Also, while I too am interested in the Galaxy SII, after handling a prototype and comparing it side-by-side with my 2X, I think I'll still with the 2X -- the build quality is just so much better; Samsung can't escape their plastic-y phone design philosophy. To be fair, the GSII is a lot classier-looking than the original GS but neither is close to the 2X.

It's a shame really -- plenty of Samsung products are seeing great improvements in their design.

Besides, with a resource like XDA-Dev, it's only a matter of time before a truly excellent custom ROM enters the scene.
