Hmm...well, I ran it now because I got another of those FCs on boot.. Next boot was fine.. and e2fsck log for that boot was fine.. Next boot was fine, yet I wondered..

Anyway running dosfsck too for good measure..and ordered a new Sandisk Class 4 from ebay for good measure.. Saw a Transcend Class 10 for double the price.. didnt want to take the risk :)
[Desire Android Development] Silverexp:
There’s a gpart package for Ubuntu. I mainly was using it for the unmount feature for the reason you came across. There is a syntax command in the terminal to unmount the \dev\xxx device , but it wasn’t working. Then I remembered gpart had that feature, problem solved…

You’re working off a livecd, not sure if you can add anything. I partitioned 5GB for Ubuntu.

Just in case you wanted some proof

Old san disk class 2, 5Mb/s (although thought CDM had benched it at 6Mb/s before)

Brand new Lexar class 6, straight out of the box 8.2Mb/s (so 50% better:))

Lexar class 6 aligned 10.17 :D:D now twice as fast ~+25% than unaligned

Have to see if i notice a difference in phone speed;)

EDIT

Apologies having a senior moment can't remember which of the first 3 tests were recovery usb mounted or sd-card reader:o

But last is phone on usb mounted and still faster with alignment:)
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
Thanks for this very good feedback.

Even more interesting is the huge improvement on small (4k) files! more than 600% !!
[Desire Android Development] t-minik:
Ziggy, did you test through phone or through an sd card reader ?
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Thanks didn't notice that i guess as OS is normally, i assume, dealing with tiny files that's of benefit:)

All were done sd-card reader

I'll do usb cable connect test when i've copied my files across and edit my post above

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Supposing that fdisk correctly shows partition sizes and Gparted shows the whole disk as "unallocated"..what does that mean. I've already done a partprobe before running Gparted. It is after running both mkfs.vfat and mke2fs after fdisk

When you're back online, do you recall the message on the screen when you type "W" to write to the table?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It said something like writing it successfully. I think it's an issue with the Vmware emulator. After booting off a livecd, all issues were solved..
[Desire Android Development] LiooO:
I didn't see anyone mentioning this tool? it suppose to allign partition to 4K? It will work on MicroSD card?

http://www.paragon-software.com/home/partition-alignment/
[Desire Android Development] TheMikeMiller:
There might be an easier way

I'm wondering if we should start by aligning the partition table so the default offset of 32 sectors ends at an erase block. If we use the "new beginning of data xxxx" in fdisk to leave space after the partition table any normal format should be aligned.

Here is my example:

Fdisk reports 3965 MB, 3965190144 bytes for my 4gb card.

3965190144 / 128K (131072) = 30252 erase blocks which is good as it should be a round number

During partition, fdisk asks for "New beginning of data (2048-7739647, default 2048)."

Now, 2048 is 8 erase blocks, so I should start on 2049 which will be the next erase block for the beginning of the file system. Since I know I have to format this to fat32 which has 32 reserved sectors, I just increment this by 223.

So, now I start on 2272, write 32 reserved sectors which makes 2304 WRITTEN sectors. The next sector is 2305 which is the start of the 10th erase block.

Any format of FAT32 will be aligned to start with data at the beginning of the 10th erase block as long as the partition table isn't changed. This would be really useful for full wipes when changing ROM's.

I'll need to check a few other things like the I/O size. I don't think the heads and cylinders are correct.

I'll need to test this as CitizenJohn suggested from the original Patriot thread.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
This may work ONLY for a fixed block size. Read again the fat32 howto:

Formatting with the published method in OP is taking this variable size into account.

I'm not sure that your method is doing the same (but I can be mistaken of course)
[Desire Android Development] TheMikeMiller:
This indeed looks like the case from a quick test.

I think the offset in the partition table will still work, but you still need to do the "test" format for whatever default values your recovery format tool uses.

My idea is to set the partition table (swap, sd-ext, fat32) so that a reformat on wipe will align itself. I don't really know what is happening during the "convert to ext3/4", but it shouldn't matter as long it's an empty partition.

I'm going to test this now and will post back with results.

EDIT: clarity
[Desire Android Development] TheMikeMiller:
I found a tool for windows or mac put out by the SD card association.

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/

There is no source and it won't run under wine. A VM with usb support should work.
[Desire Android Development] sibere:
This tool will format the entire sd card and will not create the 2nd ext partition and will not align it. But it's a good start. It will also not use my fdisk settings and the method used to align the 2nd partition will not be applicable.

There has to be a fix for this. One moment im typing a text, the next minute the screen goes black, the leds come on, and the red charging light comes on, and im not even charging my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
I started a thread in the Q&A section about this. I had it as well. For me flashing the stock kernel seems to allieviate the problem. But right now I'm trying different kernels. Showdown, Ziggy and RCMIX 2.2.3 didn't fix it. After 9hrs of awake time it was guaranteed to happen. :-(

Someone in that thread apparently had success by doibg a factory reset, flashing the RUU. Re applying Revolutionary and flashing back the rom he was using at the beginning. Aside from that I read a fee people state the new OTA is suppose to fix it? I'm not so sure about that though.
[Continuum General] Moon Shadow - NM:
I worked a little with pastorbennett in PM's on this issue. First, I flashed his ODIN image for the Continuum Froyo 2.2 ROM (great work, pastorbennett!).

After working with the image, the only issue that I noticed was my home screen/launcher would "respawn" (linux term). Essentially, the launcher would be killed in the background when I was using another app, and when I returned to the launcher, it would have to restart. This was adding about 10-30 seconds of time to launching another app. I mentioned the issue to pastorbennet and he pointed me in the direction of the local.prop file and hard to kill home (HTK home).

FAST FIX INFO: (For those that don't want to read!)

NOTE: I use Auto Memory Manager (AMM) to check the Out Of Memory (OOM) setting for android.process.acore which is where the home launcher resides. The original setting for mine was 2.

1. MUST BE ROOTED! (Obvious with the Froyo 2.2 ROM, but...)

2. Use the terminal app to gain access to the file system.

3. Type the following into the terminal:

a. su -

b. cd /

c. echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0 >> /data/local.prop

(There is a space before and after the >> !)

d. vi /data/local.prop

e. Press VOL-UP I to enter edit mode.

f. Press VOL-UP F to move to the end of the line.

g. Press the <ENTER> key on your keyboard to add the blank line at the end of the file.

f. Press VOL-UP E, then type :wq and press <ENTER>

4. Reboot. This should work from this point on, and remain static through subsequent reboots.

Long Winded Explaination

I did a little google research and found a cache of great information from zepplinrox about this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276. He essentially has created a script to do all sorts of memory saving/enhancing things.

After reading through the great OP, I decided to manually enact the local.prop file change (adding ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0 to the file), rather than running his entire script and potentially mucking up my nice clean Froyo system.

Problem number 1. Where is the damn local.prop file. I couldn't find it at /data/local.prop as he said is where it should be located. I googled some more and found this post: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/cyanogenmod/145493-missing-local-prop.html#post1501687, where it says that one must CREATE the local.prop file. Oh, okay, that makes sense...

So, I created the file by echoing ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0 >> /data/local.prop and I added a blank line at the end of the file. This is required because if the blank line is not there, the ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0 line is deleted on reboot, for whatever reason.

I used Auto Memory Manager (AMM) to check the setting of the android.process.acore process. It showed OOM Priority=2. Damn! So, I rebooted. SUCCESS! OOM Priority=0!

So far, I have not had an issue with my home screen/launcher respawning on me.

Caio!

Error 554 means the server rejected the message for some reason. Is there more of the error message you can provide (such as "Service Unavailable", etc)?

I Googled it as it relates to Sprint and saw that it could mean the server was too busy or the message was rejected because the provider (the web text service or your mail server) is on a watchlist. I was able to send one to my phone number @messaging.sprintpcs.com with no issues, using my Gmail account. Windows Live users have supposdly had this problem often.

There could be a temporary outage wherever you are -- but the only other thing you can try is "restoring" your profile.

Dial ##3282# from your phone, go to Edit Mode, put in your MSL (get it using MSL Reader from the Market if you don't already have the MSL), then click "Data Profile". Hit your Menu button and then select "Restore". It will do a few other things like update your PRL if needed, and then try to update the software. After that finishes, reboot and try again.

Did you find a solution yet? I just helped my friend flash CM on his Evo and he's having the same problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneakily1:
Solved

I ran into this problem and was made aware that I wasn't receiving texts just last night after 3 days of friends thinking I was an ass. Anyway, after a ton of attempts I was finally able to solve the problem. Here's what I did:

1. Create a backup of your current rom using clockwork recovery (there's nothing wrong with it so if it's customized the way you want everything minus the SMS bug, you can still have it... this worked for me).

2. Download the 2.2 Froyo stock Ruu: RUU_Supersonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.7.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe

3. Run the RUU yes, this un-roots your phone, but it kicks it back to Froyo 2.2 which is WAY more stable with the current Cyanogenmod rom.

4. Download Unrevoked 3 flash recovery & run to re-root your froyo HTC Evo, make sure you're patient because it will reboot your phone a couple times.

5. You now have a rooted, stock Evo running 2.2 with fully working SMS, just kick back into recovery mode and load up your original rom (the Cyanogenmod 7 that didn't have working SMS) and everything should work fine. I had a big flood of text messages show up so heads up on that.

It's a little time consuming, but I now have Cyanogenmod 7 running 2.3.3 on my phone with everything working fine now (as far as I can tell). Hope this helps!

BTW I didn't know if I was allowed to post links to the actual files, so just google them... they aren't too difficult to find.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xDisso1vex:
Same thing, but...

Ok... I know, I know, I am a noob. I have searched on xda, androidforums and just plain ol googled it and this seems to be the closest to what I need to do.

I have an HTC Evo 4g, sprint originally but it is flashed to Cricket. it was originally rooted and (flashed?) to CM 7 (not sure which 7.____) supersonic. I downloaded gosms and handcent while looking for something to type Emoji into a certain app I use. They weren't what I wanted so I uninstalled them and got Emoji Keyboard which was closer to what I wanted.

If it wasn't that, I did go into my file manager and on the SDcard only I deleted what appeared to be empty folders. the previous owner didn't wipe the sdcard when he sold me the phone, so I had a lot of app folders I don't use. I did not delete anything that said mms, sms, or anything outside of the SD card!

My phone has not received any sms for over a week and I use the phone for work, I am missing important texts from clients and friends and it's extremely annoying.

ok so I took it to the guy who flashed Cricket to it (the guy who rooted it is out of town) and he said it must have been deleted or overwritten somehow. He put another ROM on it - CM 9 - Deck - running ICS now. That did not fix the problem as I guess it must be in the basic application folder. so my question:

Since this was able to work for CM7, will it work for CM9 also?

I don't have google voice other than whatever came on the phone (or this version of CM9) and when I went to google voice website it said my carrier couldn't do the port. I was gonna see if getting google voice and then uninstalling it would work. so I disabled the google voice application but I'm not sure if that will mess with any other apps... didn't do anything with my problem.

I uninstalled the gosms and the handcent, but they still have folders on the SDcard visible at least.

I went to file manager and in the system/apps/mms.apk I reinstalled that but no visible difference. rebooted and now I have written this post.

also I do not have a backup of the original HTC Sense, or a backup of the CM7 I originally installed... I have a .exe of the CM9 I currently have.

I'm sorry to ramble. please help! I'm sick of searching through threads! :crying:

Thanks for the help!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrvlljr:
You could wipe the entire fat side of your sd card and it wouldn't affect sms or mms so deleting that stuff is not the problem. Messing around in your root directory is never a good idea if your not really comfortable with it. That may be the issue. Or the Cricket flash wasn't done correctly. If I were you I'd do a nand back up and start over. Flash a stock rooted rom and update the radios. See if that helps. You could try clearing your caches in recovery first too.
