I have a really strange behavior on my data partition:

df show that the partition is almost full (1294 Mb used in a 1299 Mb partition). I got a low space warning this morning, that's how I noticed it, but I am not sure since when exactly I have so much in /data.

Now the strange thing is that I do not have so much apps installed, and indeed, using adb shell, a "du -a -d1 /data" report about 307 Mb used (157 Mb in /data/app, 83 Mbin /data/dalvik-cache, 60 Mb in /data/data). This is perfectly in line with what application manager tell me on my phone, if I quickly sum the reported spaces of the different apps installed.

I do not see any big file in the partiton (anyway, du -a should have counted files directly in data, not only directories), not even hidden files (starting with a ".", for those not familiar with unix conventions).

So now I wonder, where is this Gb of space gone? I should have at least 900 Mb free, but have 4 Mb (and this is after I removed an unused app, just after the low space warning I had 20 Kb free only!)

I suspect a rogue app doing something stupid (like keeping a very large log) or nasty (some malware), probably in the last ones I have installed....but how can it use memory without it showing somewhere (even with direct tools like "du")???

BTW, my last apps are, in reverse order of installation, blueputdroid, StabilityTest, CPU Spy, Barcode scanner,....

CPUSpy is a possible candidate for keeping a large log, but it is a quite well know app, so I somehow doubt it is the culprit...

Anybody had a similar problem, of some new ideas how to solve this? a tool that can check what use all this space on /data?

I am on CM7, nightly 110817-1717-BOOT179. I just finsihed a titanium backup of my apps, and my next step (once my battery is charged) is to reinstall CM7 after a data wipe (I am a little bit reluctant about it, cause I will have to reinstall all apps and swype.

[update]

Before cleaning data and doing a full reinstall of CM7, I did a simple reboot and tadaa, problem gone: df shows the same 340 Mb in /data partition as du gave, so missing space is back. Looks like a possible CM7 problem, I will report in CM7 thread...This is a little bit worying though, I fear fs corruption of my internal memory...

Thanks for any infos/solution about this,

cheers,

Greg.

Please and thank you. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Ace42:
Bootanimations are located in

/system/media/bootanimation.zip

or

/data/local

On most devices it will be the first location, but one devices with smaller ROM sizes, like prev gen phones, it will be in the local folder instead. Bootanimations are contained in zip file bootanimation.zip, you can use a file manager with root access like root explorer and change the animation with a new one.

Hi everyone in struggling to find what's is the best ROM for speed and battery life. Can anyone help? Thanks
[Desire General] zedmarcus:
Loads (and I mean loads!) of threads already on here asking the same question.

Try searching...
[Desire General] tbaxter08700:
Ok ill have another look.

Thanks

try redux 1.2 its fantastic for battery, and there is a new redux 2 being worked on at the mo, or i will recommend a rom a friend of mine has made called DGB its based on redux but is new gb 2.3.5
[Desire General] Heisenberg:
You will not get a definitive answer to your question, as everyone has different opinions and different tastes and needs. What is great for one person may not suit the next person. The best way to find out is to try the roms for yourself.. And have fun with it :)
[Desire General] oliseo:
Whatever ROM you use, will not drain your battery as much as how many widgets you have on, and how much they poll for information.

Let's say

ROM a lasts x hours

ROM b lasts y hours

and if x > y then ROM a > b

However if Widget groups;

t1 reduces time by 10%

t2 reduces time by 20%

Then it is possible that

ROM a + t2 < ROM b + t1

And then you have polling

p1 reduces time by 10%

p2 reduces time by 20%

So it's even possible that

ROM a + t2 + p1 = ROM b + t1 + p2

Phew,

Hope that clears it up for you.

:D
[Desire General] naf007:
I have tried about a dozen various roms and a number of kernels over the last 12 months

In my opinion Redux with Eviollet Manu kernel gave me the best performance and battery life

Firmware should work with compatible devices such as: Cherry Mobile Superion, Commtiva Linx N700, Olivepad VT-100, Spice MI700, and Camangi FM600....but I do not have these devices, so I test work on my VPAD7.

Download url: on wellcommobile website

Other information about this rom:

Android Version: 2.2.2

Baseband version: PR3.7_128

Kernel: Apps_2.6.32.9

Build Number: 5004_3_540
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] LayZeeDK:
I would love to test the ROM, but that website is SO SLOW from Europe.

I believe that this is the link for the ROM:

http://www.wellcommobile.com/android1/A800ROM_2011_08_05.rar

If anyone would download it and upload it to www.multiupload.com or an equivelant site, that would be awesome :)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Just FYI - Post #35 in the link below has the A800ROM - hyperlinking should work - and the ROM

can be downloaded in 10 minutes or less, depending on your broadband connection - already uploaded via multiupload - I manage to do it myself

FM6-3540-0-5004-A01.rar (107.65 MB) (untested, A800, not viewpad7 rom)

Good luck & if anyone managed to flash it to VPAD7, please share your results & feedback, etc.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
Looks like this is the firmware version for the models with HWver: 107

I'm not sure what this would do to a HWVer: 106
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] LayZeeDK:
I finally managed to download the file and yes, it is the FM6-3540-0-5004-A01 ROM.

I only have HWVer 103. How do you know which HWVer you're supposed to have?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Hmmm, that' nice and then it should work on my ITE harware with HWver 107 and GOOD Question on whether this is backward compatible with earlier non-ITE ones. According to Amalgation's other posting, this A800 ROM supports ITE hardware - does HWVer 106 have ITE ?

DW's going to scream if I lose her Angry Bird scores by re-flashing this ROM & possibly lost rooting as it is a factory one ! I suppose I can flash it & get it rooted again, reinstall Titanium Backup & restore my Apps - will do it this weekend as I will need several hours time set aside.

Yes, the Wellcommobile linked site was so slow that it was impossible to download, try it on 2 fast broadband connection and both timed out & unable to save the file. Let's see if TAIZ can confirm & give us more details since it was tested on her/his VPAD7 ?? See my comment or thoughts above on Ver 103 ....

To get into Factory Test Mode (FTM): power off VPAD7, then hold the Vol. Down key and Power On (it's similar to getting into Recovery Mode) - it's safe and works for both unrooted/stock and rooted device - it will show the following: (mine are below)

SWVer=3.41

FM6-0001

HWVer=107

Postscript Update - this did NOT work on our HWVer 107-based ITE VPAD7

Grrrrr :< - DW's going to scream when she discovered while TB restored all the apps & most data, scores (data & settings) from Angry Birds didn't & it's basically at base level in tier 1, OMG (starting all over again .... oh, well - the price for progress, LOL)

please refer to post #46 in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1224825&page=5 for details on Wellcom A800 - Froyo 2.2.2 PR 3.7_128 2.6.32.9 and Build 5004_3.540

I suppose that I could've try to flash mine to FM6-316R for earlier HWV releases or build, which would put the device into unrooted state (but non-functional since it doesn't support ITE) and then try to upgrade to this FM6-354 to see what happened. But, it could also brick the device or at least result in more time consuming work to try to reflash, get root again & restore - or worst, return to the factory for an exchange ....

For the time being, I'm going to reformat the 16G mSD card with extra partition and move apps to SD as internal ROM/storage space is definitely limited & running low - otherwise, I can live with the New Market & ADW Launcher replacing the stock one.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
I've installed this firmware on my HWver: 106 viewpad 7.

Works without a problem, except only has English and oriental languages

Has some nice launcher mods and other things. Too bad it doesn't work on ITE hardware.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] haree:
Regarding angry bird I think u did not do a new bakup before flasing new rom

I did it using tb and always got back the last data just fyi

From my OlivePad via XDA Premium
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
I thought I did used TB to do a full backup along with CWM, but .... since I'm still chasing 3 stars on all level, not a big deal - it managed to restore to earlier scores/data kept & at least not starting from zero all over again.

Since then, I've d/l an Backup/Restore Apps from Market to save AB and AB Seasons, much like what I'm doing for the HTC Eris for the Call Logs & SMSs when switching ROMs (especially when I'm thinking seriously of upgrading to a new(er) HTC next month - and our local phone carrier like to release OTA update & "fixes" that patch (really to "close" or terminate/end) our rooting & S-off exploits, etc. - LOL.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy nowadays running TJ_Style's FM6 rom with 2.2.2 and non-OC kernel since I got ITE hardware, and with VTL Laucher & multi-lingal GB keyboard installed - it's good all around.

Could use a faster speed (OC kernel) and a bit more internal memory/space, but .... Okay, the wait for a GingerBread continue !
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] haree:
hi

this is what i do open the menu for backup and restore on TB

got to angry bird click on it and i do a back up of data and latter on on flashing a rom and go back to the same menu and restore the data and the apps

I just downloaded Zumcast and love it. You download it to your pc than from market place download it to your phone and you have streaming access to all your documents, pictures and videos from you pc to you phone. Awesome.

Droid light- converts your camera leds to a flashlight.

Light Flow- allows you to control all your notifications with different colored led lights, vibrations and sound.

Now when i look at my phone when screen is black I can tell if its a missed call (yellow), gmail (green), calendar event(purple), Text mesg(white)

All are pretty nifty.

Also Mobo Player will allow you to play all types of video formats.
