Hello members,

Bought a new lg optimus one a few days ago. Came with a stock 2GB card and did not install anything much in it.

Just songs and a few apps from android market like - angry birds, handcent SMS etc..

Yesterday I saw this sd unmount problem for the first time.. Even the contacts in the contact list disappeared. But after a restart and all things came back to normal. Then again saw same things a few hours later.. But did not act on it and things became normal by itself!!

Can you please help me:

1) identify my sd card class?

2) identify if my phone is suffering from sd unmount problem?

3) solve this sd unmount problem(if any) with this stock card.

Hopping to get helped soon :)

Still awaiting help.. Please help guys.. :|

open the back cover and look at the sd card. The class of the card is written inside a small circle (the circle is not whole) [the sd cards of class 2,4,6 are common]

NOrmally class4 cards are reported to have issues. I myself have this problem on my CLass4 8gb san disk card.

A way to reduce sd unmounts is to install all the apps to phone memory and use the sd card only for read operations (like watching movies and listening to mp3's etc)

I have noticed sd unmounts while an app tries to write data to the sd card. I have never had any issues while reading from an sd card.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Dr.Alani:
If the SD does not have the number inside the circle then its probably class 1. The stock SDs do not always work because they do not come from LG originally. They come from the your local LG retailer.

The solution is to go for a higher class. And not only the class, buy a MicroSDHC that is of a known brand. I had the same problem as you with my stock card and changed it directly because I had the same issue with my old GT540.

Apparently, android 2.1 and higher need fast cards for writing.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ciolnadu:
or u could try some custom rom's

cause my phone came with a samsung 2G SD and had unmount problems with stock rom
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ragavbpl:
Guys which class card should I go with?? And apart from changing to a new card, is there any other option?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
the default sd card provided by lg is class 2

stock rom has unmount problem so try custom rom

if u want to change sd card go for class 6 or 8 san disk works good
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ragavbpl:
Which custom ROM can help me and which also has a good battery backup? My girlfriend actually owns it who is a light user... She do not want to play high end games and all.. She just wants the phone to work good..

Also purchasing a class 6 would be out of budget for me.. But can a SanDisk 8gb sdhc class 4 card do some good?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
go for void if u want battery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=887281

as far as sd card is concerned just try the custom rom and see id the problem persist since she is not a heavy user she wont be needing 8 gb card as well untill unless she listen to songs. while sd card class 4 is good enough i am using that too san disk since other was out of my budget i bought it as i needed higher storage space but my unmount problem was solved flashing custom rom in my 2 gb sd card provided by lg
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nikhil4186:
move all the apps to phone memory. this will reduce the sd card unmounts.

Hey guys,

I am currently writing a report about my work term for my university. I'm writing about why the company I work for decided that it was necessary to upgrade our tablets to Android 2.2 and I was wondering if anyone had read some good articles they think would be helpful. Of course, I can read the android dev page and the google blog and stuff but often it is not very specific. Sure, they can tell me that they made a "2x-5x performance speedup" in dalvik but that really doesn't tell me anything about what they actually did. Obviously, I can't ask you guys to do my research for me or anything, but if you remember reading something that might be helpful, I'd really appreciate it if you could post a link.

Thanks a lot,

Samuel Maskell

Hi, this will be the first time for me to do this so I just wanted to be sure.

I have a backup that I want to restore to. Is there anything specific that I need to do before I restore through Rom Manager? Need to wipe/format anything? Thanks for the help!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robertmor86:
It should ask you if you want to wipe before you restore. I always wipe lol. You can make a back up of your current rom if you think you might want to go back to it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
1) make sure you have a recovery image equal to or greater than 3.0.0.6

2) make a back up of your current ROM.

3) Factory reset via the recovery image

4) flash your back up
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
No you do not need to wipe when doing a restore, it does it automatically for you.

While looking at my screen previews in launcherpro, I was struck wwith a thought; is there a homescreen replacement that allows you to scroll up and down as well as the standard side to side? Is that even possible on the current 2.3 platform?

I would be very interested to try such a launcher.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] zanderman112:
Try dxtop lite from the market, or launcher7(if you like wp7)

Sent from my always stock, EC05 Epic 4G
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tsukisan:
I think what you are looking for is a homescreen like the Huawei U8220 (t-mobile Pulse in the UK). It's launcher is a standard style homescreen but with the ability to navigate up and down as well as left to right, going to see if I can put the apk on a standard device to use as a homescreen replacement, I'll report back on this soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
Beta2 change log:
complete rework of recovery.fstab.
rework of recovery source
CWM now fully up to date with latest version
and more

drhonk and I are proud to bring to you CWM3 for the SGS4G.

Now, before I post this, We are not responsible for any bricks.

Issues:

/system mounts, however it doesn't unmount to be able to format during a restore.

What works:

FULL ROM FLASHING!!! Backup, Advanced Restore of Data and Cache, Flashing zips (mods, boot animations, kernels, modems, etc), Error reporting and everything else but full restore due to the system issue.

How to get to recovery: Power Menu Mod, Quick Boot App, adb reboot recovery, 3 button salute.

What you will need to do:

Use Root Explorer, Android Commander, Droid Explorer or what ever else is out there to replace the recovery binary in /system/bin with the one attached. This will allow you to flash the update.zip from stock recovery.

After the file is replaced reboot the phone.

Put the update.zip on your external SD, boot into recovery and choose the 2nd Option to flash update.zip from SD.

This will boot you into CWM.

Biggest change from 2.5.1.2 to 3.x:

your normal zips will not work on this CWM or any future CWM for that matter. CWM3 has been updated to only allow edify updater-scripts. You will need to modify all of your update-scripts to be in the edify format. I will need to find a link on how to do this and post it in this thread.

More updates to follow. This is just to hold everyone over for now. Again, please do not complain that you can not restore or ( flash a full rom (untested)). This is a known issue, and is actively being worked on. drhonk and I worked on this all day and are tired.

Files:

Modded Recovery Binary for the SGS4G:

CWM 3.0.2.8 SGS4G Edition Beta 3

I will not request this to be added to RM until it is FINAL. Please do not attempt to contact Koush to have it added; I will just ask him to remove it. This is only to keep you guys tied over for now.

BIG BIG THANK YOUR to drhonk for keeping my ass working on this. LOL

Also Big thanks to Koush for helping us troubleshoot things.

Awesome job on getting this up and running guys. I'm having problems getting it to work. I have followed your instructions to the "T" and I get the signature verification failed error. I replaced the the recovery.bin file in the /system/bin and rebooted and then placed the update.zip on the root of the SD card and booted into recovery and when I try to use the update zip I get that error.

not sure if i did it wrong, of if it was because i downloaded it over 4G but this update UnRooted my phone and partially broke it..

I'm Re-Odin'ing the KD1-DeOdexed from whitehax now & going to reattempt this..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] alexle0814:
I'm pretty sure I followed the steps correctly and when my phone started back up, it was unrooted with busybox installed still. When I tried rooting it with SuperOneClick, it failed. Did I do something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
+ 1 looks like we have three people with the same issue. phone started to reboot, not constantly but a few times within 20 minutes, then when i went into an app that required root, it said I didnt have it. tried to do a few things but no luck. even tried to use super-one click again but it failed.

Odin here i come.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
hmm this shouldnt break root at all. let me check some things.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] orionshock:
K, got home

Odin'ed on the KD1 rom

downloaded the zip file on computer

copied to SDCard

using quickbook rebooted into recovery mode.

reinstalled packages

got CWM

rebooted into normal

opened quick boot again to reboot back just restart it & it failed.

Yup same issues here. I'm glad you found the problem so quickly! It's all good though since 'beta' means BETA. I just thought I had borked my phone some other way since I am making other changes to settings etc. tonight lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stevekixs:
I'm having the wireless issues too. My wifi doesn't work. Also the phone keeps restarting itself. :)

Just thought I would share.

might need to reflash/odin.

Krylon & Honk...much love from the dirty south. Lol! U guys should give online classes. I would definitely sign up 2 learn more about coding and linux
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] KAsp3rd:
It was an error in the updater-script. I'm not sure if its been recompiled or not. If you are still having issues after the most recent update

unzip the update

Go to the updater-script (don't remember the path)

Open on your favorite text editor

Delete the two commands

"Delete_recursive("/data")"

"Delete_recursive("/datadata")

Rezip

Copy to SD card

Boot into recovery and flash.

If you did a nandroid backup before trying the flashable update you can advance restore your data then flash the rom.

You cannot format /system yet. You can flash the KD1.zip that is posted on the forums and then restore your /data through advance restore in cwm
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sgyee:
There have been at least one or two reports of KD1 overheating phones with no overclock.

A reflash took care of the issue.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
I replaced the update.zip to beta 3 and tried to reflash the new KD1 zip file but I get installation aborted..

even after the beta 3 I still get FC when running a package installer.. meaning i cant DL apps from the market or restore from titanium.

I guess ill have to wait till i get home and ODIN back and do it all again?

edit: for beta 3 replaced the binary file this time, not the update zip lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] badboy68:
i find that having root explorer pro makes replacing files, very simple. flashed to beta 3 no problems.. hey krylon, so is it possible now to run, rom manager?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stevekixs:
Im having an issue and i was wondering of anyone had any input that could help me.

I have whites KD1 and i have the cw beta 3 installed, as well as The laucher mod from the gsII.

My issue is since i installed beta 2 and the launcher my device keeps rebooting when its on standby. I reinstalled beta 3 twice and formated the device in cw. The only thing left to try is to reflash KD1 on odin. I tried flashing the cw version by Crylon but it keepa aborting during install.

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stevekixs:
Strange. I flashed stock on odin. And setup clockwork again with the beta 3, and it still doesnt allow me to flash the Rom. I'm wondering if theres a problem with the zips I downloaded from two different mirrors. But its not rebooting constantly, I think its the GSII launcher thats causing the issue... or KD1
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] orionshock:
Well do the proccess of elimination checks w/ KD1 + CWM3 + GSII launcher

see where it fails, try different sequences.

Im gonna put money on GSII Launcher fubaring the setup :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stevekixs:
Thanks for the input. Its strange. I odined back to stock, setup CW beta 3. Then I used odin to flash KD1, whites version, and now I reflashed the zip for the launcher. Everything seems to be working fine now, even though everything is the same as before. I am still confused as to what the problem was.

I still can't flash Crylons KD1 through CWR. I'm not sure why.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Knumb:
I apologize in advance but I can't seem to get into recovery mode. Where is this 3 button fix or the other 2 listed by krylon? I can't seem to find them thru the search.

Disregard....found quick boot....:O
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
If you Odin to whitehawks after u set up cw3 doesn't it overwrite you back to beta 1?? That may be why u can't flash the full rom
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stevekixs:
No, it doesn't I was able to use CW fine to flash the launcher. And its the correct version.

On a slightly unrelated topic, Im trying to figure out how to make the Netflix app think I have nexus s. But Im afraid if I change those files I will mess up my phone. :) Now that the official netflix is out.

That and Im still trying to root my g slate and then get netflix streaming on that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
when krylon released beta 1 he said it could flash anything but full roms.. that came with beta 2 and 3.. hence your touchwiz4 successfully flashing

and when i had a mytouch4g we edited the build prop to trick qik into working on our custom gingerbread roms.. it will probably work with the SGS4G ill give it a try
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stevekixs:
Yea I understand. It didnt go back to beta 1 though. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wizardslovak:
i tried to overclock myne to 1.3 without any problems .... was little faster tho but anyways i left it at stock as baterry was not holding a s...t ... and still didnt have overheating problems ..... well

The update.zip needs to be @the root of your sd card, but don't extract it.

If you didn't move it, it should be in your download folder.
