Gurgulio, if you want to use swap, you should have one ext4 partition, and one swap partition. What do you feel is the problem with this?

Also I found a considerable difference in sd performance when using different CPU governors.

What is the IOPS of your sdcard ?

I think that is the most important thing to know about a

sdard and its performance.

Hey chrisrj28 her you go this should fix you up.

Please make a backup first before flashing just in case something goes wrong. Cheers

Facebook profile pics are not getting synced with the phone contacts, any one has a solution for this, earlier it used to work, I have even reflashed the ROM...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Gurgulio:
This was the problem. Swap only works with one sd-ext. With the new extention from dansta34 you have the choice for two sd-ext and one swap partition. Now I have only one sd-ext and it works well. Thanks for help

You see, I was thinking something similar but I wasn't sure since I don't know anything about IOPS yet. I only came across this term the other day and haven't looked it up yet.

But I thought it also doesn't really matter cuz other folks had fine results with the same card.

however, on this ROM I am not even getting close to 10 mbit write speed no matter what cache setting, no matter what governor.

[EDIT]

OK, here's the deal: card offered with 24/21 r/w max and no reference IOPS on the net available. This is what HDTune Pro says: IOPS on 512 Byte is 708 at 1,4 ms access time, with 1MB pieces the IOPS drop to 16/sec and the access time to 62 ms. Speed max is 16 read and around 10 write. The average IOPS from all measured sizes is 30 with an access time of 32 and a speed of 15. Which is rough for a card offered at higher specs.

CrystalDiskMark shows slightly better results on the write side of life.

My key question now is: does the FAT Formatting as FAT32 with Cluster Size 32 affect the Performance? Tomorrow i will kill my Android System on the Card and format it with windows standard settings and test again.

And i could really use someone with this card to have it checked with HDTune Pro and CrystalDiskMark for reference. Also i'd like to know if the Card has the same code on the backside for comparison. This can easily be handled via PM as that would only clutter this thread. Anyone up for comparing cards?

Why post that all here? guess it just came up, but it can also be useful to know what difference the cards make on the ROM.

[EDIT 2]

Just tested again with a newer HDtune Pro and it shows very different results again. Gosh I have no idea anymore. I contacted Samsung now to see how they comment on that matter.

hi @ll

I have an strange problem is latest version (2.7)

In version 2.7 , big-sized apps (like World Of Goo (49MB) Or planet vs zombies(79MB) ) doesn't run !

but I could play them in previous version (2.6)

Does anyone have any suggestions ?

this is the only reason that I prefer to use version 2.6

BTW , The latest version is very fast and smooth , But it has some problems in apps with big size :(

[HD2 Android NAND Development] altix31:
I fear to be a little off topic but usually I use the program H2testw to know more about my SD cards. If the SDcard does not contains any data and only one partition (FAT32), this software has the advantage of verifying that the card does have the advertised size because some dishonest manufacturers change the microchip to present a larger size.

Memory ..

Hello Dansta, hello to all,

I send to you to all and to all my sincere wishes of health, success and enjoyment for this New Year of 2012.​

I had read the problems of memory and I did not understand.

Since yesterday, he says to me that I have no enough available memory And what it is necessary to effecer and/or to move applications.

What I eventually made.

But he always indicates me that I have no enough memory ??? :confused::confused:

I freed 104 Mb

I have 2 Go in EXT4

And I have 8 Go of free on the SD

I don't know what to do anymore, he forbids me even to reinstall one application! :mad:

It is the first time when I recontre this problem. :eek:

If somebody in an idea? ;)

Before, I thank you.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dansta34:
Odd have you got a very lot of apps installed? Well v2.8 has 70mb less system memory so there will be plenty more room!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DeeinSouthAfrica:
You really do create magnificent masterpieces. A true artist.

So, stop talkin' already and give. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] altix31:
Hi Augure,

I suggest you to use the FreeSpace software (102 KB) from the market. Before that, you have to do a little sacrifice by uninstalling one or more applications.

Run this application and reports the results.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] typongtv:
when can we expect v2.8 to be released ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dangerously:
I think he is trying to say that the internal memory is not being properly freed when moving apps. Having an extra 70MB in version 2.8 will not solve this particular problem. I had the same issue when I first flashed the beta rom. All apps moved to external storage would show as being moved but some how still remain in internal storage and continue to give me "low internal storage" warnings. I reformatted my ext4 partition and did a T29 (full wipe) then reinstalled the rom. Now I can actually see the internal storage increase when apps are being moved. No more low storage warnings.

I am wondering if different CWM versions have trouble with the ext partition. The reason I am wondering is that I changed to the CWM linked in the first post and that's when moving data seemed to work. My previous CWM only supported ext3 in the format options thus making me think it would have problems with my ext4 partition. I know the rom needs to support ext4 but does CWM need to also for when it is installing the rom?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dansta34:
Sorry guys i have had a migraine for the past 4 and a half hours i have only just now been able to get up but i am still sick i will continue to finish some last things then upload the rom!

yes i no having the extra space will not o anything unless there is things installing to the system! it should not matter what clock work version is used the rom also converts all other extensions to ext4 anyway!

[HD2 Android NAND Development] fromaron:
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL !!!

Dansta, hope your migrane goes away as soon as possible.

I was reading people talking about swap enable flashing. Strange, I didn't flash any zip files using stock 2.6 version and I have swap in use. It shows total, used and free space available. :confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] johnnyvb78:
Hi,

I'm using android nand since the beginning, and I'm noticing with this rom that it has 50,5 mb free System rom. I'm being testing with smaller partitions, so that I have 2mb left and I don't notice a difference in speed and I don't have memory problems. Is there a reason for this unused space? If we keep the partition smaller we have more space for apps, let's say 45 mb extra? And with the new 2.8 that is 70mb smaller we can maby have let's say around 100 mb extra apps space??

Thanks

Get well soon!

And don't worry about Update2.8. The year is so new and fresh 8)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dansta34:
Yes there is no need for them to flash the enable swap anymore as i have added it in the rom since v2.6

Edit yes its slowly going away thank god ,i get them bad ! Trying to finish the rom and also me and dunc are trying to work out how to get this auto flash from recovery sorted out so you can download zips with your phone and when selecting a zip to flash using rom manager or the 4ext control app it will reboot into recovery and auto flash them ! Finding the answers is harder than we thought and waiting on replies from guys who would no so getting held up longer than i thought !

Well even though i have reduced the size of the system only buy moving more to the sd ext there is no real benefit it is only if there is a chance that anything is getting installed to the nand! but reducing the size of the system size will not make a difference to the amount of free space as all the apps install on the sd ext
[HD2 Android NAND Development] johnnyvb78:
That's right, but in titanium backup it shows that system rom is 246mb and has 50,5 mb free. The internal space 173mb. Parts from the internal are transported to the sd-ext, I understand that. But people are complaining that they don't have enough free space left. If I reduce the rom partition to let's say 210 mb I get more internal space. If you install a new kernel it installs it in the system rom so you need some free space there, but is 50 not a bit to much?

Thanks :)

HD2 SENSATION XL rom
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dunc001:
Kernel doesn't get installed to the /system partition, it gets installed to the /boot partition...

The only reason for running out of internal memory is installing 100+ apps! How many of them do you actually use or do you just collect them for fun? Apps all get installed directly into the sd-ext/app directory however the app data goes to data/data so this grows when you install or use apps. Dalvik and apps-private are also already on sd-ext. You can check in data/cachemnt and delete any download.apks when you install new stuff from market. However this is cleared out on reboot anyway. The major benefit of having system data on sd-ext is read speed from ext4 fs over NAND flash read speed.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] johnnyvb78:
100% correct, but why do I keep 50mb unused at the system rom partition. It doesn't get less when I install a app. I don't have 100+ apps installed its a bit to much I think. Some people collect app I think, apps you only use once?

HD2 SENSATION XL rom
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
If you are concerned about this then the simple answer, surely, is to reduce the size yourself. I generally remove various items and add my own then flash. If I find unused space, I reduce the partition accordingly. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] johnnyvb78:
I do the same but i was wondering if it had a special reason for it. :) and since some people saying that they don't have enough space that they get short in memory.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
It appears that some people collect apps for the sake of it :D I always try to only keep those that are actually useful. Perhaps those who run out of space should do some housekeeping..... :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gerryvancampen:
i do have the same problem. the rom is really great. it runs very very smooth . when i start of with a clean install i have 147 mb free space.

after a while when i sync my contacts with facebook and whatsapp i have 60 mb free. and now after three days it keeps syncing the contacts and i have all 165 mb used.

i have to install again the clean everything up.... anybody any idea???

come on dont push him, hes already doing great job, dont get me wrong just wait :) i know hes going to surprise us again with new release :) and i didnt said yet, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

and Seaky i stall cant get where i can backup my apps on EU hd2 to not download again manually, can you explain this a bit closer? coz when i looking into gmail i can sync only calendar, contacs etc but cant save my apps, atleast save them to download again but auto not manually coz im tired of this ;p
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Hahaha lol Sorry for laughing at you mate really no offence meant...

It's the Google backup feature and normally you see it only once when setting up. It's one of the last pages of the setup wizard. Not sure which one mate. There's a little tick box where it says backup my apps and settings using google. I can vividly imagine your brain chewing on this issue for days and not getting it down. Don't choke on it mate :D

It's not worth it. I backup my apps using an apk extractor and then I save them away to the PC manually. Bit more work but more reliable than google backup (that always misses some apps somehow, think it gets confused with so many installations).

[EDIT]

Just checked: if you run the setup wizard again later after setting up your gmail account it doesn't show you that option anymore, it's part of the account setup I think.

Asking for an ETA does mean you are pressuring or pushing. That is why, it is called "estimate". :p

It becomes pressure or pushing if you don't check to see that other people have asked and been answered several times in the last couple days:rolleyes:. Just keep hitting F5 like the rest of us and you'll notice when he gets through. :cool:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] inyallan:
Agree. But looking at his (the one who asked the ETA) perspective, it is a question that does not concern any other posts. And a couple of days may mean more than a couple. ;)

It is pure natural to ask for ETA since fans of this ROM have their schedules and priorities to consider as well. I am not saying that they should look for other cooks out there, but it is their loyalty that makes them ask.

Look guys sorry for the hold up im just trying to work out something for the the rom with dunc and still waiting on a reply for something,if it dose not come through in the next hour or 2 i will release the rom even though it has not been to the testers i will still release it! Sorry for the hold up but being sick and trying to finish the rom and waiting for the reply is set it back, things i can not help! but the rom will be up in a couple of hours at the most!

Ok the gps issue might be if you had used the faster fix gps app! The mms issue i dont no why you would have that issue ill look into it

Yep i no well id rather release a rom with a lot of fixes and better features than rush to get a rom out with only a couple of changes wasting all you guys time to flash a rom that is not much diff to the last one!I started out the new rom fixing issues then there was more issues posted so iv fixed them then there is a new kernel out so adding that and testing then there is other better features being added and tested so all this has held it up but for the better!And yes if everyone has patience then they will end up with a bloody awesome rom!So like usual im doing things for the hd2 never done before and needs testing and adjusting and will be all for the better:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mkutsen:
Thanks, I definitely DID use the FasterFix app. Is there a fix for this issue now that I used the app? Now the Navigation App is missing and the little GPS icon never appears in the status bar. Looks like a hardware failure :(

Also, if the app causes this problem are there any positives to keep it in the ROM?

Thanks for your help!

So far, on the previous versions, I have never had this problem, where from my question.

No, I do not know "FreeSpace", but I thank you for the information and I would try on 2,8.

I come to say to you what the situation is.

Yes, I have to make excuses not to be expressed to correctly.

I made too simple and too fast. Forgiveness.

Effectively, I thought of a possible problem that the internal memory is not correctly released.

Thank you very much @Dangerously for this very clear explanation of my inferior message. Once more, I thank you for it.

[Edit] : Whatever I do, that I move all the applications or that I uninstall them all, he always says to the same thing, as I have 17.1 Mb of available !?

Thank you very much of the answer, Dansta.

I am going to uninstall everything the applications and I am going to make some tests to see how it contains the draining of the memory.

I agree with you!!.. Long live the patience and the understanding.

Dansta, I had the migraine during more than 20 years, I indeed understand what you live and I wish you some courage and especially take care of you and rest.

2.8 can wait a little, even if some do not know how to contain their impatience.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mkutsen:
OK figured out my issues (in case anybody has the same ones):

1.) GPS: Originally FixIt broke the Fix --> Flashed the Stock EGL in hopes of fixing the GPS --> Stock EGL FIX wiped the GPS libraries (that appears to be an issue with the FIX). Re-Installed tytung's GPS libraries --> GPS is fixed! :)

2.) Radio is not related (accidentally uninstalled it using Titanium.)

3.) MMS nor related -- appears to be intercarrier compatibility issue.

Now ready to wipe everything and start anew with 2.8!

Thanks,

Mike
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DeeinSouthAfrica:
Dan, a non-critical thing.

2.6 has a background that seems to be the Northern Lights. You see this 'out of the box'.

As far as I can tell 2.7 did not have this background (Im back on 2.6).

May I have this particular wallpaper included, or can it be posted here?

It fascinates me, being Southern Hemisphere located. we don't get such a phenomenon - and besides it makes the icons easier to see. :)

Are you on the themed rom ? not sure what wallpaper is it the black one with the blue colors
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Dee,

I was looking for that wallpaper too. I just pulled it from the older ROM.

if dan hasn't posted it till later I will put it up if dan doesn't mind.

You can also find it yourself in \system\customize\resources.

It's more than one file, they are called cellular.jpg, cellular_grid.jpg, cellular_panel.jpg and cellular_panel_land.jpg. Just grab then and push them to your mobile into the matching folder there.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Hi mkutsen, thank you for working this out! Good on ya mate :D

Maybe I should add this: a few pages back I reported that the FasterFix app kills the custom gps.conf. I spoke to dansta about this but he already knows about this since some time but forgot to take it out for 2.7b.

So in case you guys adjust your ntp-servers using this app you will lose some important lines in the config. To avoid that you can pull the config manually from \system\etc using droidexplorer or similar adb applications and edit the servers as you please with any text editor. Then push it back using the same tool and adjust the permissions (I do that with total commander).

Before finding this I was very sure the egl's killed the GPS but afterwards I thought it must have been that app. So I am quite astonished that you found the same result, which means my first guess wasn't wrong after all, just that the app FasterFix created an additional problem....

Sent from my TBD Runny 2.7b
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dunc001:
Mike, all FasterFix does is replace the gps.conf file with one customized with the ntp servers for your location. Downside is our gps.conf file has additional stuff in it which obviously isn't there in the FasterFix one, hence the problem. I have attached the file I use which is set up for Europe. Rename it to gps.conf (remove .txt) then copy it to your phone and then use Root Explorer or similar to copy it to /system/etc and set the permissions to match the other files there. Let me know if you have any problems.

_grid, _panel and _panel_land are just the thumbnails to get it to show in the Sense>Personalise>Wallpaper previews. You can just copy the cellular.jpg to your SD card and then set it like any other non-system wallpaper if you like.
