Can someone post a walkthru to getting a2sd working on this rom?

I had Amazon overnight me a new microSD, thinking mine was defective. However, it's doing the same thing.

Things I've tried:

1) Wipe all in AmonRA x 3

2) Format SD: 64mb cache, 2gb ext2, 12gb left for main partition

3) Convert ext2 to ext3

4) Flash latest Nightly.

5) Flash a2sd update zip posted in this thread.

6) Reboot phone. Can see in logcat a2sd is running.

7) Run adb. su, a2sd datasd

8) Only 75MB or so free on internal.

9) Free internal space never goes up.

1) Wipe all in AmonRA x 3

2) Format SD: 64mb cache, 2gb ext2, 12gb left for main partition

3) Convert ext2 to ext3

4) Flash latest Nightly.

5) Reboot phone. Can see in logcat a2sd is running.

6) Only 98MB or so free on internal upon booting the ROM for the first time.

7) Apps installed continue to decrease available internal until phone says no room to install other apps.

1) Wipe all in AmonRA x 3

2) Format SD: 64mb cache, 2gb ext2, 12gb left for main partition

3) Convert ext2 to ext3

6) Reboot phone. Can see in logcat a2sd is running.

7) Run adb. su, a2sd datasd

8) Only 75MB or so free on internal.

9) Free internal space never goes up.

* Used RUU to go back to stock. Re-rooted phone and reflashed AmonRA recovery.

Am I missing something here? How is anyone using this ROM when a2sd fails to function correctly? I restored 135 apps with Titanium Backup and the phone had 23KB (yes, KB) free and I couldn't do anything. The ROM was completely unusable.

Oh I see man, I understand It's cool I was wondering like where did you go, since I was spending most of the time over there, they told me probably over here and I see you were updating this one I was on the 2.3 and i was like :eek: wtf 4.0 already where have I been at heheheh but yeah I'm doing some catching up, I see that this is by far the best 3.0 I been on so far no problems on my side of the green.

I'm try'n to learn to theme some I'm doing a lot of reading as of now since i got a part time job. You know try'n to give back.:D:D

You seen that new movie coming out "The Grey" its about some killer wolfs looks awesome AF man. But hey have great day man. Thanks for your work.:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
is it possible to have the RoamControl app added on this rom... like tommytomatoe or does anyone have this
[EVO 4G Android Development] .Elite_The_King.:
That's a paid app. Or just take it out of ROM.zip and put it on yours
[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
not on the market anymore

nvm found it
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
@nickelghandi......Try htc's battery calibration method I'm getting about 40 hrs a charge.(charge for 8hrs on, turn off fastboot,turn off phone.plug in phone until light goes green, unplug and repeat until light turns green very quickly. This should take awhile so don't rush it. Clear battery stats, reboot still plugged in, when it boots drain all the way for first few charges. Clear stats again repeat full charge process. Done, it works great just be patient and follow the instructions.

4.4 has an HTC_IME with spanish language :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Royalfox:
Oh damn it! Sorry for wasting your time lol.

But!... I get problems with 4.4, I mean, super weird problems. It keeps rebooting after the the 1st startup. I mean, I flash it, configure the ROM and etc, then reboot, but it stays on a bootloop.

I haven't tried flashing again after 5 times, and haven't tried downloading again after 2 times. I've never figured out what was my problem, but now that I got the dev's attention, I figured "why not ask him for help? "

So GW what's in store for next release? I need something to flash before I start withdrawal lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] moysauce:
Downloaded the latest ROM and makes my EVO freeze when it reboots. Anyone else experiencing this?

Maybe i'll do another full wipe and flash again at some point during the day.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
Likely not a whole lot, Just some more sound improvements I have made, and a couple other mods Im looking into. I have recently ported this to the shift, and Im also working a 3D ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
updated nightly will be out tonight. More volume Mods, dissabled scrolling cache (so your cache should not build so quickly), build.prop edits, and a2sd beta4 baked in :D

Could i get some linkage for that Sprint Lovers icon pack for Nocturnal as well? :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] sssqueue:
Very nice ROM. Slight lag on homescreen after wakeup but no biggie. I found my wifi could not connect from the same distance as stock or other sense 1.0 based ROM. Once connected it wasn't as stable either. Is this common?
[EVO 4G Android Development] godson32:
My phone reboots from time to time n it stays on the reboot screen,so I take the battery out n then its cool any help?

When I flash I wipe all but sdc I flash kings mod then then the ROM n I dt mess with the a2sd
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
What are you restoring from titanium backup?

That would be my guess, you are restoring something that is not playing nice with the system.

[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
The Sierra theme is updated, and works great on last build. But if you make a theme for it please share.

@Luisit....you should post that status bar in the mods section on the team nocturnal site.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
Your hboot is fine.....but I would give the nightly a shot. It's 4.4 turbo charged.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Luisit0:
will do ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jyarborough:
Full wipe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] .Elite_The_King.:
Yup just so you wont get lag issues man and other stuff thats unforeseen. its turbo charge.
[EVO 4G Android Development] papawiskas:
Mine was doing the same thing, only it would never come all the way back.

Had to go back to my nandroid backup of cyanogen.

I'm so bummed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
Also I just set up my chrome to phone....thats good stuff. It worked great, and ty. I was not even aware of it, must have been under a rock for a while or something...lol.

As for the nightly I would recommend a full wipe, sorry man you know how I roll. The framework has had some changes made to it since last release.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
Thanks man, appreciate it. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] jyarborough:
Thanks,, just checking...
[EVO 4G Android Development] jyarborough:
Dayum,, how much more faster can this thang get....:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
Well in the nightly I disabled scrolling cache, that actually gave it a lot more speed. There were a couple other mods as well but I think that one made the most difference. But dalvik is set to go to sd by default, so if you do start seeing some lag I would first move that back to internal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] budeone:
This baby rocks. Wow
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
Thanks bud.....glad you like it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Royalfox:
I noticed lots of lag, I might move cache back to internal and hope its fixed! Does anyone use v6 sc? Just wondering
[EVO 4G Android Development] mtg981:
Hey GW, is the kernel the same as in 4.4?
[EVO 4G Android Development] billbowers:
Just thought i'd mention this, since Shooterville has been recently occupied by several new residents, when you reboot your phone after the initial flash, or anytime you clear your caches, your phone will reboot 3 times before getting to the boot animation. This is normal. It's the dta2sd scripts writing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] papawiskas:
Wow, just flashed the nightly and so far it is waaaaaaaay faster. And my other issues went away. Very nice. Glad I took a chance and installed it. Was missing it after being on Cyanogen for 2 whole hours.

Now I wish I knew how to make you a kick ass boot animation. That's the only thing I don't like, it's not as polished as your rom. Your rom deserves a better boot animation. Just my opinion. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Royalfox:

And I just your noticed your other post..lol. What is your method for moving it back to internal. And does it move or just error before it completes the move?

I select "Move to internal memory " and press "move" but it gives me an error of not much internal space left

[EVO 4G Android Development] billbowers:
Another first class job GW. I know I said I was gonna hold off..but I think we both knew I was lying. Thanks for all the continued hard work you put into this ever evolving masterpiece of yours.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
Ok try doing it in the terminal emulator from the market

open terminal and type

su then hit enter

then type

a2sd nocachereset then hit enter

This will move your cache to internal and force it to rebuild. Your phone will reboot, and your dalvik will be on internal storage. Your phone will be a little laggy after reboot, thats because it had to rebuild your dalvik, so everything is re-syncing. Just let it settle for about 10minutes.

Also out of curiosity what is the partition sizes on your sdcard?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Royalfox:
Thanks, I should try that out

I have a 16gb sandisk class 4

2gb ext 3

32 swap

Rest is fat

PC36100
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
Thanks man. How's the sound to you. Is it better then the last build? I think so, but I'm half deaf...lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
Wow. I would say you should also try typing

a2sd reinstall

With tour partition sizes space should not be an issue since all your apps should be going to sd. Maybe the a2sd didn't take on flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Royalfox:
I tried reflashing Rom and it didn't help. Guess I should type that on terminal!

PC36100
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
If I were you, I would just start fresh. Then just let the ROM settle in for a couple days. ROMs are always a little laggy at first, but get better as they settle. Honestly I have downloaded like 50 apps since I flashed, I won't use any of them. I'm just trying to get it to lag, or cause a low space error, or anything so I can logcat.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Royalfox:
Start fresh as in...?

And yeah I guess I should stop being a flashaholic

[EVO 4G Android Development] bodyshop:
You didn't have to go back to cyanogen. Just try another build. Try the latest build a of yesterday. What other ROMs call a full wipe I'd not enough on shooter. Use amon RA 2.3 & wipe every s setting in wipe except the sdcard. & wipe cache & dalvik cache 3 times. Be sure to wipe every other setting, every one you see except sdcard.

Sent from my SHOOTER ON FIRE!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] bodyshop:
What is the partition size??? It should be 32 swap, 1024 partition size & the rest for fat.

You either forgot to put it in your post or forgot to allocate a size when partitioning you sdcard. Which would definitely give an error if there is 0 size for external.

[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
hey fox did you try what i wrote you?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bodyshop:
Royal fox you don't need the a2sdgui app. If you are having problems just flash a2sd beta 4 or better yet the newest build as of last night which had it built in. Forget about the extra apps. Beta 4 dies it all by simply running the command. A list of commands a are on Facebook under dark tremor a2sd just Google it.

GW what does this command do, keep caches from building up?

Sent from my SHOOTER ON FIRE!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
No....the new nightly I built has your dalvik set to sd by default. That code will do 2 things. First it will move dalvik back to internal, and then it will force it to rebuild. This will reboot your phone. I know it works cause I just did it, but I wasn't getting lag when it was on the sd, so I put it back...lol.

That being said, you should have less cache buildup on the nightly because I disabled all scrolling cache.
[EVO 4G Android Development] foresure84:
yes i can see a BIG difference in the lag.... not that a few secs bothered me.. but its smoothness neck in neck with tn rom .. outstanding!!!!!!!! ps no issues at all!!!

you have to launch the apps to build up caches to do your lag testing. the data and caches grow, because the available space decreases the more apps you launch and use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] billbowers:
Not sure about sound yet GW. I'll let you know when I get to work..on your last build, we hooked it up to a atz and measured it against another phone running beats...almost identical..I'll check this build against the last and let you know what the audio guys say..

[EVO 4G Android Development] gruesomewolf:
Yeah I have been running for a few days now, and I'm not usually an app whore but I have a ton on my system right now, and I used them all briefly to test out how much lag I might get after running a lot of apps. And I'm still not seeing much lag at all.

You can still clear out dalvik the usual ways cause it's symlinked. Just more a2sd trickery.
