I see some confusion here about MTD, so let's clarify it :)

Suppose you have a large emtpy space (the onenand chip), and divide it into small areas (aka the partitions)

Then, BML and MTD are partition maps, aka how the space is allocated.

Now, BML is made by Samsung, and proprietary (aka closed source), so we have to use their modules to get it going.

But, that modules won't work with newer kernels, so you need something else.

That's where MTD comes in, it's opensource, so it can be used with anything.

And, that gives us freedom to give any partition any amount of space.

One thing though, you can't go to a BML ROM from a MTD ROM without a restock, or a full flash via Odin.

But that's not a big problem, and going from a BML ROM to a MTD ROM requires some stuff, which to you will just be an update.zip, different than the old ones.

Also, you can't use Odin anymore, unless you want to go back to a BML ROM.

That pretty much sums it up for users, i hope so. :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Pradeep:
Thanks a lot!! :)

Cleared a lot of doubts!! :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] D@rekills4:
Once I go to MTD, can I flash a BML ROM via Odin or it works only one way?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sad96:
He wrote that if you flashed MTD you can get back to BLM by flashing stock via Odin.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] balamu96m:
so we can look forward that we'll most probably have Yaffs2 (or) Ubifs file system in the MTD version. BTW, which one is better ??
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
I have used yaffs2 before on the G1, not very impressive :p

Hello friends need help

I m on cm 7.2 alpha 8.3 with default kernel. And has ext4 partition and using link2sd

Recently I am having following problem.

My mobile goes off state randomly (when its locked.)

It just wont wake even if I press home key, power key or even if try to charge the phone nothing happens. Even if I remove battery and put it back again it wont start.

The only thing works is that I have to start mobile without SIM and SD card then only it boots and then in I switch it off again and put sim and sd and start and then it works.

This happening from last few days, happened twice today

Can someone help me to sort this out

Thanks

Edit: adding log cat

Also deleted the log cat

Hello, need some help here..

I think my SD card is became only- read only.

For example I can see the content of SD card through root explorer or photos through quickpics app

But when I start camera to take a photo it says insert SD card or I can't download any images shared by my friends on what's app.

I would like to attach a log file but the app can't save that file on SD card.

Its strange issue moreover I have ext4 partition and the app which uses that partition are working

Can some one please help.

I don't really want clear data or flash rom again as its too mainstream ;)

And I even afraid that may be during flashing if SD card is not available then what would happen? :confused:

Thanks

problem solved it happened coz titanium back up has corrupted my sd card.. i have to delete that folder with various ways i tried sumthing worked :D i even tried chkdsk

That does not explain it at all. I remember downloading this ROM some months ago (maybe in an earlier stage) through a link from the first post. Now that link is gone. Only explanation is marcellusbe erased that link from the his first post. Why would he take the time to erase the link if he is busy?

That is why I thought that there might be something in the background (exploding phones or whatever) that might be the reason for marcellusbe to take it off.

However thanks for the info, I see my question as closed.

If someone is interested in the solution is simple. Write to the terminal fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0 and you get options to make partition or delete and so on...

I'd like to ask for a feature before alpha 9 will get released.

I use this rom since long time now and have noticed some random freezes. Not very frequent, but umpredictable and so annoying... If your phone get freezed and you are not looking at it, several hours can pass before you can restart it.... In the meantime you lose calls, sms, etc.

So my request: can you please loook at freezes and try to fix them? It would make your rom much more stable an DC usable than implementing some missing feature (which something needed sometimes in the future though).

Thanks marcellusbe, your hatd work is very much appreciated

Ps: freezes mainly happen if you press back or menu key, but also if you are not using your phone at all. If you need some report or log, kindly tell me which files i should grab and i will be more than happy to provide them
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] D@rekills4:

Re: [WiP][ROM][2.3.7] CyanogenMod 7.2 (Alpha8.3 - 13/08/2012)

Freezes arent because of the rom. You should try non-oc kernel. Thats because not all phones can stand overclocking. So they freezes sometimes. I had such issue when i used OC kernels, but now i'm on non-oc kernel and everything is fine:p

Also this question was already discussed. It'd be better if you search and read before asking. ;)
