MODPATH="/lib/modules/$LVER"

also i add it

it will auto recognize kernel's version and auto mount current modules :D
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I took your OpenRecovery and added/fixed some things:

'Power Off' menu option

'Toggle Display Brightness' menu option (to reduce battery drain--alternates between bright/dim)

Fixed nandroid backup all (by hiding the partitions that don't work)

Fixed 'Wipe Dalvik Cache'

Renamed 'Applications Menu' to 'Utilities'

Added a symbolic link: /sd-ext -> /sddata

Updated e2fsck to a 1.41.10 (for ext4 support)

Added 'SD Card Utilities'

'Scan FAT partition for errors'

'Scan ext partition for errors'

Can convert ext2->ext3, ext2->ext4, ext3->ext4 (requires ROM support)

'Save diagnostics to /sdcard/sdcard-info.txt' for debugging

Eventually this will also manage the app/link2sd directories

Github: https://github.com/Mioze7Ae/openrecovery_xt720

EDIT: updated with statically-compiled fsck_msdos, tune2fs, e2fsck, and mke2fs from the CM6.3.0 source
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Awesome nice wok man :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
The SD Card Utilities aren't working if CM6 isn't installed. I need to find a tune2fs that is statically linked. I thought this one was, but I was wrong.

Edit: fixed now in -fix4
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
What would it take to incorporate these changes into Androidiani OR?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I compiled static binaries for e2fsprogs and fsck_msdos and updated the zip. I should be working now. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16812349&postcount=7

Some of these changes are pretty easy. Others are a little more involved. You can look at the diffs in github and port ones that you'd like. Eventually I'd like to merge the functionality of both but I'm focusing on OR for now. You can look at what went into each change by looking at the "Commits" tab at github and then clicking on the commit number on the far right side for a particular change and you'll see what changes were made to which files. For example this is the Toggle Display Brightness change.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I can't get neither one of my sdcards ext4 to mount. I wonder if it might be cause I started with CM6.3? Instead of upgrading from CM6.1 to CM6.3? Just a thought since some of us can and can't mount ext4
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Can you install the *-fix4 openrecovery and use

OR > SD Card Utilities > Save diagnostics

And then post the /sdcard/sdcard-info.txt?

Do you have a nandroid of your ext2 partition? If so, try restoring it and the using SD Card Utilities to convert it to ext4.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah I will post the /sdcard/sdcard-info.txt here but it says the same as what fjfalcon was quoting. And yes I do have a Nandroid of ext2 but never tried to restore it yet. I will try now...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
L'enfer c'est les autres...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Hell is other people? lol

***Here it is View attachment 694819
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Are you referring to the info.txt that fjfalcon posted in the CM6 thread? The commands I gave there weren't correct. In any case the sdcard-info.txt produced by *-fix4 are much expanded and look quite different... I can't find any other post by fjfalcon...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Oh sorry Mz didn't mean to make you look for it, I was talking about when he was saying how some aren't mounting. Anyway I posted it above your last post. I have my ext2 restored. I will try to convert it tomorrow. thanks man.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Ok, try creating an empty /sd-ext/app|/sddata/app directory and reboot. Then go back to OR and recreate the sdcard-info.txt
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I'm sorry not sure what you mean here "empty /sd-ext/app|/sddata/app directory"

app|?

I think I got it... rebooting...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Oh, I meant "or". /sddata/app is what openrecovery calls it but it's /sd-ext/app when booted normally.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Whoa cool there's an option now to convert ext2 to ext4? Should I go ahead?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Yes. Actually looking at your ext4 you have features enabled that I don't on mine. That's probably been the problem. The convert to ext4 should work.

Yours:

Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr resize_inode dir_index filetype extent flex_bg sparse_super huge_file uninit_bg dir_nlink extra_isize

Mine:

Filesystem features: has_journal ext_attr dir_index filetype needs_recovery extent sparse_super uninit_bg
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Ok I think we got it man, I have most all of my 80 apps restored with 95mb free internal. I will post sdcard info here in a sec...

Huh... I guess this is it.. View attachment sdcard-info.txt

I'm done for the night thanks a bunch man. Have to work in the morn
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Looks good to me!:D

So this is what happened: when you do a nandroid restore of ext2 it is always restored as ext2 (this has always been true). If SD Card Utilities detects ext2 it will offer to convert to ext3 or ext4 (if it detects ext3 it will only offer to convert to ext4). To downgrade, just create and restore a nandroid.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
Thanks a lot man !!!

But i m a little lost here which version i install????

The first from github or the update one? Or the both?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
You extract the update one to your sdcard just like you do when installing A.O.R. and Voila! More of Mz's magic! :D

Yeah well all it means to me is you did it again Mz! More Mz Magic, it's a beautiful thing and works like a charm and is very easily understood for us noobelepors! Lmao! Thanks man
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] hellmonger:
Oui mon ami ces bien dit!

I think the OR convert to ext* breaks Swap.....

lol maybe i broke it

Still checking....

Does swap have to be mounted to work? i forget how that works...

lol nevermind my fault making a patch for me lol stupid me lololo
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ktylife:
With ext4 I feel it's a bit snappier,however battery life seems to have decreased???! Any other opinion on that?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Which ROM? I noticed for the short time I was on CM6 I had amazing life, from 7am til about midnight I was still at 50%. That's pretty darn good for me. Haven't had the special long enough to test yet...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] ktylife:
CM6.3.0 + ext4
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I've also been feeling like my battery life has gotten worse lately, but I didn't connect the dots to switching to ext4... it might be worth some testing. I just redid battery calibration today. If that didn't help I'll look into ext4 as a culprit. Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octaedro7:
Is Bing Maps rotating following direction for you?

Not for me. I've tried toggling the feature to no avail.

gMaps doing it without problems.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danchar4:
I have gotten it to work. What device do you have?

I beleive it only works at road speeds, it is not like using a map orienteering style - i.e. the map does not rotate in your hand as you turn the device around. I beleive this feature isn't linked to the compass/gyro/accelerometer at all. It is only linked to GPS position data. So as it detects direction change at road speed, it will rotate the map accordingly.

I don't think it works very well while walking for example.

There are some smarter things you can do with all the sensors. If you look at the video presentations from the MIX 11 conference you can see what is possible. The implementation in the BingMaps is pretty basic and not taking advantage of everythign the devices have to offer.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmithJones:
@danchar4...can you point me toward any "official" docs or posts that makes you believe map rotation only works at driving speeds? I think you're right, but I've only seen it mentioned in two places: your post and one WP7 blog post. Curious if it's a bug or a feature.

I swear I had an interim Mango build where the map rotated at walking speeds, but I could be imagining it. I so rarely drive in an auto anymore that I haven't had a chance to test at driving speeds.
[Galaxy S II General] shantanuparadkar:
My maps are consuming battery of my phone. Even if I don't use it.

Why this is so? Around 15% of battery consumption is due to maps
[Galaxy S II General] buxz777:
root your device and use a program like autostarts from the market to freeze apps you dont want to start at boot , it simple and easy to do and youd be suprised at what starts up at boot in your app list .

i would then use titanium backup to freeze apps you dont use/need as this helps battery / ram / device from waking through apps telling it to etc etc

dont freeze maps obvously as you may need that and its important to have but defo stop it from starting at boot , unless you need it at boot but from your post you obvously dont :-)

there is a list of stuff thats save to freeze on this forum the search bar is your friend :-)

have a good day
[Galaxy S II General] shantanuparadkar:
Thanks but I don't wanna root my phone. Is there any other alternative?
[Galaxy S II General] buxz777:
well even before i had rooted and stopped it at start , maps was never that high on my charts have you run latitude or anything? i heard this can drain battery in the background .

sounds like you have an app that is using maps in the back ground as on a normal set up (factory fresh etc) maps doesnt hammer the battery like that

it can probs be fixed by undoing an app or setting you have somewhere but its hard to say as its your phone and you know what youve done to it .

if it was factory fresh though i doubt/kinda know maps wouldnt be that high and draining battery though it never has on mine even when stock etc

hope you find the culprit soon but its hard to say what it could be as we dont know how you have it set up etc .

maybe try a fresh install??
[Galaxy S II General] Croocodillul:
I'm sure you are using Latitude. Log off and problem will be solved.
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
Yes, almost certainly Latitude - log out and stay out, you'll be amazed at the difference.
[Galaxy S II General] kolachaitu:
I second these. I've logged off of latitude and the battery life has extended by at least 60 - 70%. I used to get like around less than a day of usage, but now it goes a little over a day and a half with moderate usage. (Bluetooth, GPS, Browsing on HSPA and WiFi)
[Galaxy S II General] madpete:
Also if you have remote tracking turned on, this can show up as maps in the battery monitor.

Sent from my Xoom
[Galaxy S II General] shantanuparadkar:
Yeah, my latitude was on.i logged it off.

Thanks every one for ur replies. Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S II General] alturismo:
You may have to reset maps in app settings to really get rid off it.

Clear data once I suggest, then the 1 minute wake calls will also be off, my experience.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
why not it's highly recommended to root your phone, you can then freeze maps in titanium backup (and any other apps too)
[Galaxy S II General] dinoc:
not having the phone rooted is like having a computer without knowing the admin/root password :)
[Galaxy S II General] shantanuparadkar:
But there are some drawbacks of it also.

And if anything happens to my phone I will not be able to claim warrantee
[Galaxy S II General] ocaldini:
try to disable not stoping it, but with a interruption force...:)
[Galaxy S II General] shantanuparadkar:
Ididn't understand what u wanna say

It's been 2 hours since my last battery charging and it has just reduced by 2%.logging out of latitude is working. Thanks again
[Galaxy S II General] plazzTT:
I always see Maps very high in my battery usage, I was logged into Latitude. Logged out of that now.

Do you have remote controls enabled in Settings -> Location and Security? Wondering if this still means Maps will use a lot of battery.
[Galaxy S II General] shantanuparadkar:
Yeah remote controls are activated on my phone but der is no such details of usage of maps in battery details
[HTC Desire S] WibblyW:
Can this be done without losing all my contacts?

I want all the existing links to be reset/broken and allow HTC Sense to start again. Once I've rejected suggested links, Sence will never offer them again. I want to clear that. Should simply clearing the contacts data in the phone achieve this (and be 'safe')? Or will that just restore all the links/meta information too when the contacts come back? Where is all the meta data held about the links or rejected suggestions?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You're correct in thinking that removing all contact data from the phone will remove the links...only as you re-add the various account types will new links be suggested (that you're then able to dismiss).

I'd recommend saving you main contacts in Google Contacts. So that you store them off the device/SIM and in the cloud which ensures after any reset the contact data can easily be restored just by linking to your google acocunt.
[Milestone 2 General] cindylove:
Are there some information about an official Gingerbread Update for the milestone 2. Because i don´t want to throw my warrenty away.
[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
Nope...

You can flash official Froyo in any time and get your warranty back ;)
[Milestone 2 General] cindylove:
Isn´t there the point? I just need warranty when the phone is broken. And when the phone is broken means i can´t do anything with it. I guess there is no way to flash the phone without the phone starting or trying to start.
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
The answer is really simple: if you don't want to take a risk, don't consider flashing a custom ROM. A lot can go wrong and if you're unwilling to educate youself it's not even an option to install something else besides stock Froyo.

Sent from my MotoA953
[Milestone 2 General] roguefan99:
Yes I would spend quite a while educating yourself before installing any roms, I thought I knew a bit from my reading...... I learnt I knew nothing! I feel comfortable now, but my phone is still a bit messy.

As for an offical announcement I wouldn't expect it too soon, as they just stated that the Atrix GB update wouldn't be till Q4 for the UK. I would expect that phone to be the next to be updated (has the Droid 2 officially got GB yet?)
[Milestone 2 General] yurifranzoni:
Does anyone know about this thread? http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=3406

The poster says this is an "official Gingerbread leak" and it looks real... but after reading half of the replies (that's 14 pages!) I still don't know if this is meant for A953 too - the pics and information only refer to A956 (Droid 2 Global / Verizon).

My question is: may I try this file in my Milestone 2 (A953) or will I brick my phone?

Thanks!
[Milestone 2 General] gibawatts:
The D2G (Droid 2 Global) have both the CDMA and GSM radios, so I think it might work. The D2 (Droid 2) have only the CDMA radio, that's why we cannot get the radio to work with the other leaks, since our Milestone2's have GSM radio.
[Milestone 2 General] yurifranzoni:
So you mean that this leak is some kind of "generic" release for the Droid 2/Milestone 2 devices?

Now that's good news... but what's the safest method to try it on my phone? How do I create a backup of my current official Froyo from Moto?

Back in my HTC Magic days I used to do it very easily, but I still haven't got free time to play around with this one.

Thanks!
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
Not true. The Droid 2 Global indeed has both GSM and CDMA, BUT GSM is an addon!

You offcourse can try to flash it, but believe me, radio will not work. If it'd be that easy, we'd have seen custom ROMs for the Milestone 2 waaaay earlier.
[Milestone 2 General] mkioshi:
Also the Milestone 2 is the only model in the trio to have 720p video recording... This may be lost if you try to flash a Droid 2 rom.
[Milestone 2 General] yurifranzoni:
Alright! Thanks for the info guys!
[Milestone 2 General] gibawatts:
I believe that the 720p video recording is a matter of software.
[Milestone 2 General] r2beta0:
That is not right. It's a combination of hardware capability + android framework support (media server + libs + codec) + camera application. It's not that easy, believe me, I tried a lot with MIUI.
[Milestone 2 General] roguefan99:
Sorry to bump an old thread but it seemed relevant. Noticed today through my Google alerts that Moto is claiming an early Q4 release for Europe. Still gonna try other ROMs before then but guess its a good sign.

BTW, seems like they got pushed by the great work of the modders here, thanks all

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smellulater:
So i have a samsung gio S5660

i flashed the giopro rom 1.2, after a whle my celluar radio stopped working...

not just data, the whole lot, switching between flight mode and back locks it up, and going into wireless and networks, and the mobile networks tab is greyed out...

i have since flashed another rom and it didnt fix it...

it happened after i moved the dalvik cache back to the internal storage...

what do i do to fix it :(

also a2sd just stops responding when i open it on any rom now...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hans Schmucker:
I'd try restoring the stock ROM with whatever tools Samsung provides for flashing. I'd especially try to get away from a2sd... it's not the most failure-proof script around and if you don't know how to fix the errors it produces you should really stay away from it.

[HTC Tornado] paggps:
Hello, I have a Qtek 8300 (SP5m Tornado), which has its earpiece broken, so it is not useful anymore as a phone. However, the camera, processor, USB port and wifi are OK.

I was thinking on a possible reuse of it as a wireless IP Camera: just a USB power supply, and the phone transmits via wifi to the wifi router, the images from the camera. I was looking for a software to do this, and the closest is Ateksoft Webcamera plus, but it is not what I need, because it needs a PC with a client software.

Any ideas on how to do this ?

Or any ideas on how to reuse my Tornado for a different application ?

Thank you!
[HTC Tornado] markanthonypr:
Yes, its possible. I'll try to power up my SDAII and I'll tell you the software you need. They have a limited trial but works cool. I'll post back as soon as I can get mine working. I believe last time I powered it up I had a white screen.
[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
How can you break the earpiece?!

I guess it is just dirt on the connector between PBA and earpiece - open it up and get that cleaned :-)

Regarding the WebCam: the only tool is "WebCamPlus" by Ateksoft:

http://www.ateksoft.com/webcamplus.html

You cannot do it without a PC driver as a webcam.

Still you can use the camera to take photos, but quality is so poor - would not do that.

Other use of the device:

load a WM6+ ROM with SDHC card support and use it as music player, it has a really good audio quality - PocketPlayer preferred!

use it as GPS logger with a BT mouse, it will log a whole day (8 hours) and only eat < 20% battery capacity

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:

[HTC Sensation] yangas:
Hey guys. I have a question, not sure what to do. This morning i was running my morning cross with my headphones. Right by my house the phone somehow managed to climb of from my pocket and tried to comit suicide. Unfortunately for him ,hes not dead, but he felt hard on the asphalt. Damage is , The gorilla glass is shattered, the Aluminium unibody is all scrached up. I was quite surprised cuz the fall wasn't that big, and it shattered the screen quite badly. (perhaps the falling angle was just bad). Now your suggestions:

a.) Contact the HTC support and ask for Repair help.

b.) Forget this one and buy myself a new one. (i don't want to spend another 600 eu on a phone) maybe the repairs will be cheaper.

Now i myself am now in Norway (working)

But the phone was bought in Lithuania.

I've contacted the support in HTC via email, i'm rooted of course so forge the warranty, but to hell with it, i just want my phone repaired.

Any insides on will they repair it? Or am i wasting my breath and should start looking around for a new one. Sorry for maybe dumb question, just feel frustrated ATM so just want some advice.
