[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMatza:
As anyone with DarkTremor's A2SD is well aware, the sd-ext partition is utilized as a symbolic link from within /data.

As a user of a custom recovery with the nandroid backup/restore feature, you're also well aware that you can back up both data and sd-ext.

If you choose to back up both, you end up with two large img's... the one for sd-ext being slightly larger than the one for data. Both of these img's contain all of the stuff within data (what a waste of space!).

Since sd-ext includes data (when using DT's A2SD), is it sufficient to only back up sd-ext, and not data as well? Basically, what should I be backing up? Seems wasteful to back up both-- If I back up only sd-ext, I'm concerned that the /data dir will never be created. And if I back up only /data, I'll miss the extra 30 or so megs that the sd-ext img has over the data img (what makes up that difference, I'm not quite sure).

Any thoughts?

I use a2sd and I nandroid everything, but cache and regularly go back to nandroids of my stock/rooted ROM and back with no problems. That's the reason I back up all of it, just in case. I'd rather be safer than sorry.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMatza:
No sh!t, but there's likely some who've already done it. Isn't that the point of the Q&A forum-- so those who aren't sure about taking risks can ask questions, and gain expertise from those who already have?

I don't back up sd-ext personally because I never wipe it before a flash. There is no real need, unless you are using newer mik roms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMatza:
I'm looking for someone to explain a little bit about the difference between backing up data and sd-ext when using DT's A2SD. You haven't offered any explanation-- you only pointed out the obvious.

There are a LOT of lazy questions in this forum. Unless you happen to know the answer to mine or can show me where my search failed, go harass someone else ya f*ckin' troll.

I do, however, appreciate that your replies continue to bump my thread... so thanks for that I guess.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcarter2000:
If DTA2SD is utilized then the APKs are not on the phones internal storage, they are on the sd-ext.

However all of the saved information from the apks (logins/game saves and such)are not on the sd-ext, that is stored on the internal memory.

So, lets say you do a nand backup without the sd-ext.

1 - if you wipe the sd-ext then nand back, your apks will not be restored, but when you re-install the apks, your saved info from the time you backed up will be restored. All you have to do is re-install the apk.

2 - if you dont wipe the sd-ext and then nand back, all of your info and apks will still be there, but if you installed another apk after you did the nand, any info you have saved from that particular apk will be gone(not the apk itself).

Now, lets say you do a nand backup with the sd-ext.

All apks and information from the time you did your backup will be restored, but again if you have installed any apks after the nand, they will be gone, along with any saved information.

Side note:

Because the saved information is not on the sd-ext, there is no need to wipe the sd-ext before flashing a new or updated rom. It is the same as having apks pre-installed. Doing this keeps you from having to redownload all of your favorite apps, but any saved info will be wiped out.

The only exception is when developers move system apps to /data(such as the newer mik roms). If they do that, then you may have to wipe the sd-ext before flashing new or updated roms.

If you wish to keep the saved information from your apks between rom flashes, then I would suggest backing up the data through Titanium backup. However you may experience problems restoring data from certain apks, so to be safe i only restore data from apps i know do not cause issues. Most games do not cause issues, but retoring data from apps like lookout have been known to cause bootloops and such.

Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMatza:
Lots of good info there... thanks!

I know for sure that the data.img in my nandroid backup holds apks. If it didn't, there'd be no way it could be 300MB. Similarly, my sd-ext is a little larger (like 311MB).

So what happens if I don't wipe my sd-ext, but wipe my data instead? Since components of data are within sd-ext (specifically, the apks), wouldn't that in turn wipe most of sd-ext too (since it would follow the symbolic links)?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcarter2000:
That would only happen if DTA2SD was activated, which it is not while in recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcarter2000:
As far as I know, the only folders from /data that are moved to the sd-ext are /data/app and /data/app-private. All the other folders and info remain on the internal storage. Dalvik can be moved, but it isn't set to do so by default in most roms.

Edit: What Rom are you using? I looked at my data.img from synergy and it's 190.76MB, and the last time I backed up my SD-ext it was only 77.03MB
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mjcoss:
In trying not to be a noob, I searched the various subforums for the transformer looking for something similar and didn't find anything so here goes with my first new thread. Note there are plenty of battery drain ones, and while I do have that, that's not what my question is about.

I just recently sent my TF dock for repair of the mobiledock battery saving mode setting not working properly. A key press could always wake the device regardless of setting. Got it back from RMA, and sure enough the keyboard doesn't wake the device, and the touchpad wakes it only if touch it right away. So that's fixed.

But then I noticed that when I went into Applications->Battery use, the summary was wrong, and odd. After a bit of fooling around, what appears to be happening is that the graph only records when it is disconnected from the keyboard. It's been on for a few days now and the graph only shows 4 mins.

It's a B50 version of tablet and dock. It's running 8.6.5.9 and the mobileDock is EP101-0213.

Now, I know that the history/summary was working before I RMA'ed it, and I know that it wasn't working after I got it back, and it still isn't working after the update to 8.6.5.9.

As a side note, the battery drain is about 3.5%/hr when idle and docked. I have installed CPU spy and see that while it is indeed going to deep sleep, it isn't staying asleep. Some app is keeping it awake, I just don't know which app it is.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mouseglider:
Ok, I have search, but didn't find anything like this. I am wondering for those that can overclock, what speed do you use for your daily driver? I don't mean what speed you use just to play with benchmarks.

I know the faster you overclock you have more battery drain, so answer honestly! :D

I'll be first, I normally run at 1.3ghz, but am now trying 1.4ghz to see how much more battery drain I will have. I love my epic, it has always been fast and stable. What I run is in my signature.

If you feel like it, list your rom, kernel, and what you use to set it. It will be cool to see how fast you guys like to run on a daily diet! :D

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malcolmXman:
Same as deano, 100-800mhz conservative, 90% of the time, 100-1200 ondemand rare. I UV also so the 100-800mhz really gets great life.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
I run at 1400/100 "on demand" all of the time when on Froyo. No undervolting. I have 2 stock batteries so battery life isn't my #1 priority...everything working and stability is and fortunately 1400 is totally stable for me. I saw a greater performance increase from 1300 to 1400 than I did from 1200 to 1300
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mouseglider:
I can almost echo your findings, except I have been running 1300. Out of curiosity how much more battery did you use when you jumped from 1300 to 1400 if you remember?.

I also undervolt a little more from 600 on down than 800 and up, but I rather have more stable than more undervolt. I can't believe how nice hte eipic is even against the current crop of phones. I love it! :D:cool:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
Running "on demand" I have noticed very little difference going up to 1400 because its only there maybe 30 minutes per battery charge. It only uses that top setting when its needed. Keeping the undervolt away from those high states will ensure more stability since most of our phones require the voltage on those overclocked states like 1300 and 1400. If you get -25 or -50 stable on those high states, you are pretty lucky
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mouseglider:
I use CFQ and run -50 on 100 - 200 - 300 - 400 - 600 and -25 on 800 - 1000 - 1200 - 1400 and is rock solid thru all of those frequencies.

Do you know if it is better to run less steps, something like 100 - 300 - 600 - 1000 - 1400 rather than how I have it set as above?

No problem. I didn't want you to get everything dialed in and have to start all over. Video apps and Games are good to test stability when overclocking. The ONLY way I can get 1.4 to lock up is running videos for long periods of time but that's pointless to do when overclocking. I scale it back for videos and games...to about 1.2

Hello everyone.

Here you can find the latest (25th of August 2011) stock Android gingerbread release for Samsung Captivate - i897.

It was not tested on i896/i9088 or i9010. If you tested it, please report back.

This package does not contain bootloaders so the risk of bricking your device is very limited (close to zero)

This is Android 2.3.4

Continuum Forum Thread Link

Download Links

Link 1

Link 2

The zip contains the .tar.md5 that you need to use in ODIN. Don't forget to extract before trying to flash it.

[URL="http://www.team-continuum.net/home/index.php?action=links;sa=visit&id=30"]Odin 1.83[/URL] (tested ODIN versions 1.82 and 1.83)

How to (semi-dummy proof)

1. Reboot in recovery (check this thread for hints) and perform factory reset by selecting the option circled in red and then confirming the selection.Navigation is done with volume keys.

After the reset is done, power off the device either from recovery (if option is present) or by pulling out the battery.

2. Reboot in Download mode (check this thread for hints)

3. Open ODIN

4. In ODIN click the PDA button

5. Select the extracted package

6. Click the START button in ODIN. It will flash the ROM and reboot by itself.

Note: you will need Samsung drivers for Galaxy S for following this guide. Easiest way to get them is to download and install Keis from here (make sure Kies is not running while using ODIN)

If you have them already then you're good to go.

[Captivate Android Development] Radukk:
As far I know, there are i9000 Gingerbread bootloader and Captivate Gingerbread/Froyo bootloader, and those two are not competitive to run others ROM.

so... bootloader free version probably prevents hardbricking cappy (black screen of death, JTAG required) whom coming from i9000 ROM but still makes bootloop or cappy-!-pc screen I guess.

1. i9000 ROM -> bootloader included odin package -> fine

2. i9000 ROM -> bootloader free odin package -> hardbricking

3. i9000 ROM -> bootloader free (this thread) CWM package -> bootloop (guess)

4. Captivate Froyo and Gingerbread ROM -> dose not matter bootloader included or not

Please let me know if I am wrong.

Works great on an I896

For all you Canadian I896 users. Rest assured, UCKH3 will run on our Rogers Cappy's I have been running it for over a day + FUGU root without any issues what-so-ever. In fact this is one of the awesomest stock Gingerbread Captivate ROMS. Gets 1300 Quadrant score with complete stock! My Captivate could only reach 900 with stock UXJL1 and 1000 with UCKF1. Imagine what can happen with lagfix too! Can't wait.

Noticeable improvement, I love this stock ROM. Hopefully KH4 will further improve on this.

Only hiccup is GPS takes a long time to lock, but good news is when it locks, it is very good at tracking, never lost me once driving around Ottawa. Also you will need SMS timestamp fix to adjust time on SMS messages.

Thanks iCezar for packaging this up so nicely for us. Yeeeeeeee. Are you planning on making a Continuum version based on this? Continuum is also a great ROM.
