[T-Mobile LG G2x] Isis111:
This is my fourth G2X. TMO got tired of me bricking their phones due to LG's faulty updating program and sent me a new G2X if I promised not to try and upgrade it to GB until someone from TMO called me and let me know it was OK. They sent me a HTC Sensation for free so that until the G2X was ready for prime time I'd have a phone I could rely on. On my old G2x I was running RC1 from CY. It had some issues but not a lot till it was bricked by LG.

The reason I asked about the partitions is because several of the OP's and Seniors have been talking about the format they used but no one seemed to have a consensus. For instance, here are a few I've found

"[FONT=&quot]After some experiments I figured out how to make this card running stable on Android phones, I own a Nexus One, and have noticed that the card does not go well with some under-volted kernels (CM kernels work fine with it, there are many kernels which undervolt much more and make this card unstable to use). Also it's very important to format the FAT32 partition using 64KB file allocation unit size, 32KB or 16KB will cause serious stability problems.

This is my partition layout:

1 GB Ext2 (for App2Ext)

0 Swap

Rest = FAT32 (64KB File allocation unit size)"

and another:

"[/FONT][FONT=&quot]I installed more apps (185 in total), and started experiencing serious performance problem, system stuck when listening to music and installing multiple apps. Re-partitioned the SD card into 0 sawp, 1.2GB ext 4 and rest is Fat32, still using 32kb as allocation unit size. I'll see if the issue gets solved. By the way, the battery consumption of the new card seems to be equal as my previous Sandisk one."

one more

"[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Yesterday I thought about changing the partition characteristics. Eventually I formatted the card into 1.2GB Ext3, 0 Swap, rest = Fat32 using 64KB file allocation unit size and now the stability issue seems to have been resolved, no more force closes or system reboots. Is it the key that 64KB allocation unit size resolved the issue?"

So you can see my confusion. If this was a PC I would know what to do as Ive been building gaming comp since the mid 90's. But I'm lost when it comes to Linux and what the appropriate format should be.

Sorry if the explanation is so bad, hard to know exactly what to ask when you're a noob at this.................but I do thank you for taking the time to help me....................Krissy

With the Nexus One it is beneficial to create a partition on your external sdcard with an ext filesystem (sd-ext) so that your rom can install your apps to your external sdcard (app2sd), thus saving internal memory space. The Nexus One has less than 200MB for installing apps, so it is useful to be able to install apps to the much larger sdcard. The G2X has 1.5GB allocated for system and user apps so unless you install enough apps to fill that (not likely since apps are generally very small in size), you probably wont need a sd-ext partition with this phone.

If you haven't tried CM7 recently then I'd recommend flashing a recent nightly. Its come a long way since RC1.

G2X CM7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Isis111:
That's exactly where I'm going once I got this issue resolved. Intending to flash CMW through Nflash. Then I'm going to get my custom mod back. To be honest, I still like the G2X better then the Sensation, so I'm guessing that my Sensation is going to be my backup phone once I get my G2X working the way I want it too.

Thanks for all your help. I was concerned about the partitions because I was reading TOO much. With the first 32gb card after I flashed CMW and did a nand backup I just let the CMW format the card. Probably should'nt read so much, but I love doing this stuff. I've started teaching myself Linux by putting it on my laptop and forcing myself to learn. Maybe in a while I'll be able to at least do the min. and I won't feel so dumb. But hey I am a blond so I guess it goes with the territory, lol.

Thank you again, Krissy
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Lol trust me I have my noob moments too. Gotta start somewhere right? Lol ... With Android you really gotta learn the ins and outs of each phone you get. Each manufacturer does things a little different, albeit similar, but still different enough.

G2X CM7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] miguelm75:
which one of the scripts are you using?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cavtropolis:
I have an issue and questions about this situation ..of course I'm a noob here. But I have bee running cm7 for a lil while now and everything was good until I decided to flash "Blue Steel Theme "and freaked it out. So I quickly stopped it and reflashed my latest cm7 at time which was 103.

The problems I have now are this separation of storage areas SD card is 8gb. Says I have nothing left. Internal storage is around a 1gig . And additional storage of 5.35gb.

2, my lock screen doesn't show. 3, my in coming calls go right to VM.

So just wanna know how to get back to a normal CM7. Another catch...I have a Mac Pro. But love android phones. HELP ..haha.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cavtropolis:
Oh..and my "Home Button " doesn't work
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
Looks like a bad flash and you somehow partitioned ur sd through CWM...

If you love mac then u should be comfortable using gparted or a similar program to format the sd bec, I dont know if its the same over mac, but if I partition my SD card using CWM and then try to format it through window$ it only wipes the fat parfition leaving all other intact (ext3/4 and/or swap)...

Try a gparted live CD to remove any partitions (uhm... now that i remember...if im not wrong, formating through android should remove any extra partitions also), then wipe cache, dalvik, format system and reflash..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
Sounds like you didn't do a system wipe before changing roms: Everything you've mentioned looks like it could be caused by CM7 trying to execute a pre-existing defaulted app that's no longer installed.

Go back into CWM, do a factory reset/system wipe, then go into the advanced menu and format /system.

Then re-flash CM7, the modification from this thread, and then gapps. In that order.

Your problems should all be fixed.

In regard to your storage issues: This is normal for CM7. Internal storage for apps is 1.5gb (you have apps installed so it's reporting less which is normal). The phone's internal memory is 5.35gb (mounted at /mnt/emmc, so the phone reports it as "additional storage"). Your removable SD Card sounds like it's 8gb. So this is all correct. No offense to the previous poster, but ignore what he said about partitioning, since this won't do anything to help you. You didn't do anything wrong in regard to partitions. Just make sure to always do a system wipe before switching roms.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cavtropolis:
Thanks guys...I appreciate all the help..ill give this a shot. Reformatting system etc. Will I have to reinstall apps that I have already...or pull them off titianium back-to-back up??

It is an 8gb SD card..but when I want to download latest rom...says not enough space. ??? Buy the "additional storage " says 5gb..it doesn't recognize that as space??

Thanks again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cavtropolis:
Oh! Since i do have a Mac...is ok to proceed using Rom Manager ..or just boot into recovery manually??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
Yes, you will need to reinstall apps, or restore them from TB.

And no, "additional storage" cannot be used as storage space for most apps, or downloads. It is, unfortunately, available only as storage which you can move things to via USB connection to your PC, or a file explorer app. This is currently my biggest complaint about CM7.

HOWEVER, this thread is for a method which we can use to change how CM7 mounts that internal memory space. If you use the "External Primary" script from the OP (original post), then CM7 will mount the 5.35gb internal eMMC memory at /sdcard, which is where your removable SD card is currently mounted. Your SD card will then be mounted at /sdcard/_ExternalSD, which is how the stock rom for the G2x mounts everything. The OP only has the script available for a late-90s CM7 nightly, but I've posted up through 103 if you go back in the thread a page or two.

You can use ROM Manager to boot into recovery, but I don't recommend using it to flash anything.

, any luck getting the switch to work on OTA 2.3.3 (and builds based on it). Played w/ it a bit over the weekend and still no success over here. You get any further?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
Busy weekend, and didn't get a chance to look into it. I'll have a look now. Do you care about the unrooted stock image? I was thinking I'd just see if I can get it to work with the rooted versions available on xda.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cavtropolis:
I did everything ..downloaded your secondary 104 nightly. wiped/data factory reset..but on boot it said aborted.

So i had a 101 nightly on there and booted back into that..so far everything is working other than restoring my apps etc.:)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
I've been using 104, so it should flash fine. Make sure you're flashing the nightly of the same number.

I've modified it for 108, and will include it here if anyone wants to use the latest.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cavtropolis:
Was wondering why the 104.zip didn't work. How do you control where a file gets downloaded too ..say of I download this 108.zip? Because the 104.zip didn't download to SD card..had to hook to Mac and manually put on SD card. Was wondering if that's why it aborted?? Or I'm way off and wrong. But I can't find a setting to store downloads where you (the user) would want them to be

Sorry for rambling ..

Thanks again ..your advice and instruction was a good help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
You don't control where it gets downloaded. All files downloaded through the browser go to /sdcard/downloads . Under CM7, /sdcard is the actual SD card. Under the stock rom, /sdcard is the internal eMMC memory. So if you came from a rom that mounted the eMMC at /sdcard instead of the actual SD card, that's why you had to move it.

Under CM7, the SD card is mounted at /sdcard, and the eMMC is mounted at /mnt/emmc . This is not ideal, because the 5.35gb worth of memory is suddenly useless for anything but app-inaccessible storage. The zip files in this thread are made to change that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cavtropolis:
Ok! Score! It worked although this time I did use rom manager and even though I backed up everything in TB..some how got lost. Not a huge problem though ..just a lil time consuming redownloading stuff. THANKS
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
It's not lost. TB defaults to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup for its storage. /sdcard is now pointing to a different place. Mount the phone to your computer, and move the files manually. Or go into TB's settings and have it search for the backups.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] miguelm75:
thanks very much, works fine.

i have maybe n00b question: have you noticed if using these scripts affects on battery life? if so, which one is better for battery life?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
They'll have no effect on your battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] miguelm75:

I would like to be able to use my camera and save images to my Internal SD instead of using an Micro SD card. I am currently on CM7 111

thank you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
There is no way to split JUST camera. It's all or nothing. You want External Secondary to put everything on internal memory and still have the SD card usable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
The only way would be if the camera app you're using allowed you to select the save directory.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cavtropolis:
Any external secondary builds out there for 113.zip or latest?? After latest updates ..I'm not noticing any differences really....other then my camera still sucks ...always dark.

Any chance of porting the SD swap to 2.3.3?

Any chance of porting the Internal/External SD swap to 2.3.3?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
That will be fantastic.

I did some playing around with that, spent a good several hours on Friday looking at it. There are some other files that need to be screwed with in addition to the vold.fstab, looks like. I just don't have the knowledge and time available to do it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I found I can swap the mount points as long as the mount directories keep the same names. So the external sdcard would be mounted to /mnt/sdcard and the internal would be mounted to /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD ... I can't figure out how to change the mount directories and get it to stick with a reboot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cavtropolis:
Was gonna flash new nightly..but I'm liking the 110 with the secondary external SD. Is it necessary to keep updating the nightlies if there really is no difference?? ..may sound elementary but if I update again ..won't have the extra SD space and don't wanna eff it up trying to code the mnt points. Ya know, just to update to a version that's pretty much same.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] jetnoirz:
Let me start by saying I am by no means a Dev. or close to it. I consider myself an advanced Crack Flasher and thats it. I came across this by accident. Noticed it worked and decided to post it in case it could help the actual Devs pinpoint the Bug.

1.Make sure you in 4G area and that your on CDMA+LTE/EvDo Auto. Then make a phone call. Doesn't matter to whom.

2.As soon as it connects while still on the call hit Home>Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications go to the "All" tab then find dialer

3. Force Stop the dialer app, confirm that you want to end it and it should end the call and cause you to lose your signal completely

4.Home>Menu>Settings>Mobile Networks>Network Mode>CDMA/EvDo Auto

5.It should jump to 3G pretty quick and wait for it to connect to google services (Turn Green)

6.Home>Menu>Settings>Mobile Networks>Network Mode>CDMA+LTE/EvDO

7.May take a minute for 4G to show up then it will connect to Google Services (turn green)

Thats how you get the Signal Bar to work. Unfortunately if you receive a call or make a call it messes up the Hack and your back to square one. I have OCD so im happy to be able to see the bars. No more dumb people asking why I dont have service and trying to explain it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] GuestD1018:
I tried this and when my 4G FINALLY came back (after toggling it again) I have green bars!! So I can verify it works.

On a side note: This is the first time I noticed that the bars are green when in a call (before I did the fix).

[Thunderbolt Android Development] jbeitel:
My force close on dialer won't end the call.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Mustang302LX:
Maybe I'm missing something but if you make or receive a call after getting the bars what exactly is the point of doing all this? lol

I know this has been discussed, but I wanted some statistics. Also, I plan on updating to the EF10 modem because I have heard better things about it, but I have been doing well on the EF02 modem. My concerns are if I switch to the EF10 modem and it's WORSE, then when I switch back to the EF02 modem it won't be as good as it was originally. I mean EF02 modem has been good to me, but if I can get something better, then I'd rather have that.

I am running Stock Deodexed EF02 ROM.

Also, I forget. How will I get rid of the annoying message when it asks me to update? And if I get rid of that message, will I still be able to go back to EF02 and vicea versa?

Thanks guys.

They both crash a bunch. EF02 doesn't get bad though. When it's on fire, it's on fire.
[Epic 4G General] AngelosDracul:
When I originally flashed to the same ROM as you, sir; I flashed with EF02, but allowed the EF10 update, charged, got great signal, never missed a call, or a message (except when there was an apparent county wide data outage... >.>) and got superb battery life.

I have, however, switched back down to EF02 just for dev purposes, and have really enjoyed it. Everything seems to be reliable (as much as Sprint allows) and runs smooth, great reception etc etc... I have yet to fully test the battery, but if it comes close to EF10's 16 hours I got on heavy use, I will be happy. I got through a full 10 hour day with 50% charge left on light to medium use. So I am thinking that the battery life on EF02 is better.

Either way? Both beat EC05 into the ground... over... and over... and over, and then urinate on them and grow pretty EF Flowers.

Once you switch to EF10 and reboot it will do a check, hit cancel quick and you won't see this message again, same goes for when you switch back to EF02.

Playing with both

At first I got notably higher speeds on EF10 (using the speedtest app several times), but then they leveled out to about what EF02 was showing before I changed. Upload speeds on EF10 were dreadful at first but then leveled out as well. I'll give it a shot for a few days & see how it works--admittedly, I didn't use EF02 for very long, so I don't really have anything to lose by going to EF10.

EF02 for me. First day I got speed of 1800 kbps on download and 600 kbps upload, but over the next couple days they went down a small margin.

EF10 didn't show so strong at first, so I jumped back to EF02. Only main issue is how spotty both can be at times. Never dealt with as many no signals as much with EC05.

Don't knnow what could have done that. User Eyeballer has a good guide on how to install just about anything on your nook. It is in this forum, and in fact is currently the thread above this one.

Hey, I've had my wifi xoom since launch and also was rooted w/ tiamat kernel from the start. However I'm posting this question again since the kernel thread moves way to fast.

Anyways, for overclocking I set my min to 216 and my max to 1200 on interactive.

Now for the issue (unless I'm missing something), randomly it will go up to the max allowed frequency which is 1700 on 1.4.4, I have it set to 1200 max so I don't understand why it decides to go to 1700 for a while and not cap out at 1200. The problem is 1700 makes my xoom get hot esp w/ heavy use.

Currently I am using droid overclock but I have the same issue with setcpu.

What's going on? Why does it go past the 1200 max mark, am I missing something? I don't like the extra heat it generates.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
