[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mncessna:
I'd like to search this forum for help, but am uneducated enough on the internals of the android OS that I'm not sure what to search for.

i'll ask my question expecting an answer on either (1) how to search for such information in the future, or (2) how to solve the issue.

I installed a 16GB class 10 SD card in my transformer keyboard and would like to edit the appropriate config files so that all future software installs and downloads are on that storage card rather than the internal 16GB memory. So my question is what files do i edit to accomplish this?

thanks...

You want Apps2SD. Unfortunately, unless something has changed recently, you can't use it on your TF.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
I'd probably try searching for "Move apps to SD" if I was searching for that topic(I know it's hard to figure out the right search terms sometimes, but by posting in Q&A, you've at least posted a fair question in the right place), here's my answer in two parts:

1. I don't think Apps2SD would work with the Dock SD slot.

2. You have the entire 16/32GB internal storage shared between apps and the /sdcard mount. Is that really not enough space?

Also, the internal storage is faster than a Class 10 card, so there will be a performance hit running from SD.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mncessna:
thanks...you've given me food for thought

there's never enough space!! :) I've always attempted to offload temp files, downloads, and various other files from the same partition as the OS. prevents excessive fragmentation etc. i'm assuming this would still be an issue even with non-spinning storage, maybe it isn't?

now that's an interesting comment. i thought Class 10 was the fastest AND that internal storage on the transformer was the same technology. Hmmm.....more research for me.[/QUOTE]

thanks for the information and advice.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Theoretically, fragmentation can slow a flash drive down, but I've never known anybody to notice the difference or to bother with defragmenting regularly on a flash device. Maybe somebody here is into that, but it's just not practical IMHO. Apps2SD is for people who run out of internal space and need MORE room for apps. If you are pushing 12gb (the ballpark usable space on the internal memory of the TF) of apps, you need to get back into the work force. :) You're better off trying to keep large data files on the removable drive first, even if it means just relocating them every once in a while.

The bottom line is, the way the Transformer treats the built-in memory as an SD card is going to be an issue when trying to use an external card for Apps2SD (which I still haven't heard of anybody succeeding at), but you may be able to set your default download folder to the removable card. If you're dealing with a browser, it would depend on which one. If you're doing your own file transfers, just get a file manager that allows you to set your "home" directory and point it to the /Removable/MicroSD directory.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Even on hard drive it's most of the time not worth the effort. On SSD just forget about fragmentation.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
i thought the reason fragmentation is a performance hit for HDDs is due to the fact it has to spin to get to the rest of the file.

SSD does not need anything like that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mncessna:
fragmentation causes delays

a disk read consists of a seek op to place the read head over the correct cylinder, then rotational delay while the correct sector rotates under the head, then a data read, and then a transfer to core memory. when a file is fragmented, this operation is repeated multiple times in order to read the entire file into memory. disk drives are pretty fast these days, but they are still the slowest part of most modern computers. cpus and memory are very fast, but disk drives slow things up, therefore, adding to io delays with fragmented files is a real performance hit.

however, i have no data on how fragmentation affects flash memory...perhaps not at all?!.

thanks to all for inputs.

Stable screen off Setting for v 3.0.0 Jefrey.

I just found out the stable setting, for screen off. Don't use clock speed 500 or less when screen off.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Looks like another case of no source so in violation of the GPL :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
This. Maybe you should read the last page of the thread next time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ObihoernchenDE:
yes exactly
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hacre:
Because four different people (five if you include myself) asked for the source code at various points over the last week and have had no response nor source code, despite the author responding in the thread to other questions.

Or, read the mod edit in the first post that explains the thread is closed pending investigation. Add that to my post on the last page of the thread and it doesn't take a genius to put two and two together and come up with four. In fact, anyone barely capable of sitting next to a box of matches without managing to spontaneously combust should be able to figure those cryptic clues out.

Er, that kernel is badly broken if you can't use 500 or less with screen off. My phone sits nicely at 200-500 screen off using conservative.

What you're running with there is a kernel that's obviously incapable of running your phone at stock speeds. There is no need for your "EUREKA!" moment. It isn't a eureka moment. It's a "oh no, this kernel is ****" moment. You wouldn't accept a car that wouldn't idle below 5000rpm without exploding in a big heap, so why are you recommending to people "Run your phone higher than 500MHz in sleep hurr hurr" instead of "OMG guys this is terrible, use something, ANYTHING else, immediately!"

Occams Razor, obviously the simplest solution is often the best. Unless you're too simple to figure out that a phone should be able to run at all of its stock frequencies.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asgard:
Just another jerk that thinks he's above the GPL. Perm ban imho. Nice post Hacre, I'm happy to provide matches for people to play with on the proviso they burn their XDA forum clicking hand.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossywell:
@Hacre, @asgard: If the GPL has been violated then clearly this needs to be remedied and indeed this is a reasonable reason to close the thread whilst there is an investigation - all good stuff.

But, you do rather come across like vigilanties with pitch-forks going out to kill an old lady with warts! (To paraphrase Blackadder.) The fact is that he's (assuming he) has produced a kernel that is both fast and has excellent battery life. Yes, it may also have a key logger embedded or other nasties - we don't know, but that's the point of an investigation, right? So, may I propose applying the "innocent until proven guilty" principle here instead of the "feed him to the sharks!" and in the meantime simply stating the facts as known which is that he is suspected of being in violation of the GPL and therefore his post has been suspended pending further investigation?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hacre:
Given how much **** I went through to even get XDA to acknowledge the GPL much less enforce that it's adhered to, no, I don't think it's being unreasonable at all.

Unreasonable would be to demand that the thread be closed/deleted and the thread starter be banned the moment it's noticed they've posted a kernel without source code. Did anybody do this? No. The author was asked several times by different people over at least a timespan of a week for the sources to be posted (mine are up to date on the github link in my signature before the kernel is even posted here) and those requests went ignored, while the author continued to post in the thread.

The fact that the thread is -still- closed indicates he -still- hasn't produced the source code, as that is all that is required for the mods to reopen the thread.

So given all the facts you have available do you still think that myself and others have been unreasonable? Really?

Everyone else plays by the rules, so should he. The fact that you're trying to white knight for someone who obviously didn't give a **** about the GPL or the spirit of it, is beggar's belief.

Oh and incidentally, if I'm coming across as a vigilante, good. As an FSF member and a kernel developer I've every right to get pissed when people **** on the GPL. If you think this is unreasonable then you'd be amazed what legal rights the copyright holders of the kernel have should the GPL be breached, up to and including making sure the author can never distribute anything to do with the Linux kernel again. He got off lightly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossywell:
Yes, but you don't need to force your own frustrations down other people's throats.

Yes, I agree: that would be unreasonable.

That would be a reasonable assumption.

Of course. I wouldn't have posted otherwise.

Correct - hence the investiation.

Your logic is flawed. The fact that I disagree with you does not make me the enemy, nor does it mean I agree with the author of jeffrey-speedfrey. I am on the side of perspective.

Sure. I agree it's not good. But assuming guilt is worse IMHO.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
It looks like the kernel is still safe to use as the mod did not block off the download links. From what I can gather, the dev either doesn't know how to release source on github or chooses not to release them. The work was also based off hardcore's speedmod kernel.

[REF] Galaxy S II Kernel source code repository. Please use it instead of .tar

A few kernel developers were given warnings for not releasing the source code via git. Some remedied it faster than others, some ignores the warning till their thread is locked then quits xda-developers forums.

Hacre, I understand you are proud of what you do with your kernel, however, your attitude needs improving. You openly pick on another dev, when his thread is locked, it's like kicking someone in the balls after he is already down from someone else's punch, and being proud of it. I don't care how good your kernel is, or how great a person you are, you really need to grow up.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hacre:
What? This isn't a trial with a jury. The thread has been closed for not posting sources when he was asked several times thus OBVIOUSLY and PROVEN TO BE breaching GPL. What else is there to "get" or "discover"? What would have been reasonable in your opinion? A few more "pretty please" posts?

I'm not even sure what your point even is at this point. My response to the bread and butter of the issue in this thread, where you accused me of having a pitchfork out:

Failing to see a lack of reason, any overzealousness or anything other than pointing out the facts here. Fact: Thread was closed for showing to be in breach of the GPL.

So unless you're suggesting we get 12 of his good and true peers into a skype conference, you're talking out of your arse.

Show me where I am "picking on him".

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rnudles:
i have flashed my HTC HD 2 already and its running android can i install themes like ive done before on other android phones and install clockwork boot wipe then mount flash new them/rom ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rauschkugl:
Please use punctuations the next time. Had to read your post 3 times till i understood what your asking for. If your using an miui rom you can easily theme it with the included app. If your using something else it‘s a bit harder. You could use an alternative launcher which supports themes like launcher pro or go launcher. Or you can look in the themes and apps section for cm themes. But i never tried if that works. So theming depends on what rom your using.

You can install new roms with cwm but i don‘t know if the theme of your old rom stays there. If you switch from one type of rom to another (e.g. cm to miui) it won‘t stay if it‘s not a third party launcher theme.

[Motorola Droid 3] dotson817:
Alright found a cheap way! It has been past 30 days so I can't add insurance. On amazon, ebay, and other sites, they sale Droid 3 digitizers which is basically a replacement of the top part of the phone (the screen and piece around it, has to all be replaced). The digitizer costs anywhere from $50-$70. That is not bad at all considering your doing it almost the same price as an insurance claim;)

Just thought I would let anyone know in case they were as lucky as me to break it already, or may have another phone w/a cracked screen, just search digitizers
[Motorola Droid 3] jackard:
How did the replacement go? I knocked my daughters phone out of the car and broke the screen and I feel awful so I'm going to give it a try.
[Motorola Droid 3] dotson817:
I ended up just selling the phone as is and got a bionic. But honestly doing it yourself can be dangerous. Break one ribbon and the phone is useless. However Motorola did say they would replace for $110+ shipping as a standard price.
[Motorola Droid 3] kayelemenohpee:
im hearing alot about messed up screens... my og droid must have fell of my lap getting outta my truck a dozen times and its not even scratch and I had no protector on it. does this gorilla **** suck?
[Motorola Droid 3] dotson817:
I actually cracked an incredible screen that same way. It just takes one lucky fall. They normally never scratch but yes will crack. No they don't suck because they are shatter proof so even if you crack your screen you aren't out a phone permanently. I recommend a screen protector cause if it does crack with One on it normally doesn't crack the main part of the screen.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
Is it possible to record calls on the Atrix? I know some people had difficulty earlier, but now that the bootloader is unlocked, and we have a newer O/S version, I don't know if the situation has changed.

And as an attempt to prevent the inevitable discussion from coming up - recording calls is not necessrily nefarious or illegal, beeps are not required, the legal requirements are dependant on where you are calling from and to. In short, legality has nothing to do with this discussion.

The question is, is the Atrix now capable of recording calls? And I mean properly, not by means of an inferior recording by putting the call on speakerphone, etc... - but genuinely crystal clear audio for both sides.

Does anyone know?

Hello everyone, I rooted my Incredible 2 last night, and since then I've been trying custom ROMs. I'm currently on MIUI 1.8.19, and I'm having a bit of a problem with SMS messages.

When I send a message from MIUI's Messaging app, the phone will tell me the message was sent, but it isn't actually sent(I tested it using my brother's phone). The phone will not recieve SMS messages either, and this seems to be the case with both of the other ROMs I have tried(CM7 Nightly 46, and OMFGB 1.3)

Any clue what's going on?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Try flashing back to your nand of stock (you made one, right?) Does sms work now? If so, download apn backup and restore from the market and use it to back up your apn to your SD card. After going back to your custom ROM try restoring those apns.

Or maybe try *228 first...

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aNdroidnut:
I have been doing this since the g1 came out and last night I finally managed to get a device to not respond at all. I have an i9020a that I had rooted and flashed brainmaster's miui rom. Long story short I needed to return the phone due to poor call quality from my end. I flashed the nandroid backup and was stuck in airplane mode. Every rom I tried to flash would not take with e:verification errors or just plain aborts. I relocked and unlocked, and put 2.3.1 stock recovery back on with still no luck. Finally after all frustrations I went to odin. I loaded the files listed in the thread, APP[ODIN] thread, and once again it failed to load. I restarted the phone and tried again but it was late and when odin didn't respond I unplugged the usb which in return made the phone unresponsive. No power on, no recovery, no boot loader, and no download mode. I ordered a jig and am hoping wedensday when it comes in it will get me back to down load mode. I am hoping someone can help me find the correct files via odin for the i9020A. Thanks for reading, I have googled everything via i9020A and there are not many threads about this problem.

do you use app2ext/app2sd? if im not wrong they just link the apk to the sd card i think (not 100% sure) but i use link2sd to link nearly all my apps' apk, dalvik cache and library (the library of some games are quite big: eg: angrybirds = around 4mb)

hope that helps! btw are u using any of the ROMs posted here or the cincinatti bell froyo?
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
He is using the CBW 2.2 version b/c of the Ultimobile tag he put there.

Did you keep Root or give it back per CBW directions? If so install a terminal from the market and type this:

su [hit enter]

busybox df -h space between x and d and f and -

**it will tell you your partitions.**

Picture have nothing to do with internal space other than if you have scanned your media over and over, there will be double data in there. See here about half way down http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1211774 section labeled media.

If you are using native app2sd then your partition read out from above will look huge if you have a bunch of apps on there. If you are using app2ext, then it won't look so long and drug out.
