First of all, did you type su and a2sd install in a terminal as instructed on the first page and answer yes to all (or at least apps and dalvik)?

If you have a2sd running with apps and dalvik on sd but the data still filling up the internal storage you could find some apps with large data (for example google earth) and long click it in Titanium backup and select to move app data to sd.

But if you are using many apps I suggest you to s-off and change hboot to cm7r2 but still select stock a2sd and do the a2sd in terminal, unless you're a real app junkie and have a fast card (class 6 or higher) in which case you can choose ad2sdx.

Moving apps to sd in the settings is pretty useless I'd you installed a2sd and thus put the apps on the ext4, since the only thing it will do is to move them from ext4 on sd to fat32 on sd, so it's probably better to keep them "on the phone"...

you can only pull down the notification bar and open an app if you don't have an unlock pattern/code/password.
[Desire Android Development] mackowiakp:
I done a2sd install in previous installation but phone reacyion was 5 time slower as use to be. My SD card is class 10 and I use s-off end ext4 as both ext-sd and sd partition (card formatted and partitioned on Linux PC).
[Desire Android Development] Musko:
Same here.

Hboot = CM7r2

Version = Beta_0.5.3

Full wipe = Yes my firs install

A2SD-script = A2SD
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Sandvold, have you looked at these errors? They're keep on appearing everyday. I've already wiped, reinstalled from scratch all suspicious apps but nothing helps. I don't know if switching kernels would help (I'm on tiamat currently), or should I make complete reinstall without apps' data restoring or maybe it's just something in the ROM.
[Desire Android Development] co@ch:
Did you already fixed permissions through recovery?

---------- Post added at 09:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

Dalvik is on internal or external memory? Move it to the external if not already done. And try to wipe dalvik and cache anyway. Hopefully this helps...
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
How can it be permission related? I've never had permission related problems. Moreover, these errors become visible not immediately, but about a day since last boot.
[Desire Android Development] mackowiakp:
Slow phone

I never play with dalvik so I don want to destroy something because my mistake. So I don know is it external or internal, I just answered YES during a2sd install and I dont know how to wipe dalvik without unexpected results. Can You instruct me?

[Desire Android Development] laving1977:
try searching this thread with "nikez". It is just a notifier, nothing more.
[Desire Android Development] NiteAngyl:
You could just as well use a class 6 card, because natively the Desire the class 10s never exceed the speed comparable to that of class 6 cards.
[Desire Android Development] Souldrinker:
As I said earlier you get three questions on a2sd install. If you answer yes to all you will have lots of space, but slower phone unless you have a really fast card.

You might want to answer no to appdata and yes to the others. If you want more speed (and less space) answer no to dalvik too. If you later run out off space you can always move dalvik to external later, see first page for information of what to type after a2sd.

You don't have to have sync enabled, it would be enough to be connected to google services, for example gtalk, for icons to turn green(gb) / blue (ics)

It would be more useful if touching the notification would open sandvolds site in a browser.

I'll talk to Nikez and see if this is something he can implement.

My laptop screen is quite broken now (30% is usable), so not sure how much I can get done in the few next days. (stupid housekeeping)

it depends :cool:

or you slim the rom (removing unused app, sounds, TTS, etc...) plus move a couple of app from /data/app to /system/app (except Email.apk or you'll fill /system)

or you have to create an ext3/4 partition on your sd card (should enough 1gb)

I don't have anymore any ext partition & all fit perfectly without it

I use cm7r2 hboot and my df shows this:

Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize

Probably I have SD card problem

My 8 GB SD card is nominally class 10 but other Kingston card class 4 is much faster according to tests. So I think I have to change my SD card to another one. Real Clsaa 10. So I think my phone will work much faster
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but when I open the face book app from the drawer it kills my Internet connection. Once I close the app it will reconnect... But, if I click on a post from the facebook widget, it will open up the app fine and I can browse to wherever.

Running a typical install on cm7r2.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I moved from class 6 to a true class 10 & didn't notice much difference

anyway if you decide to activate an ext3/4 partition I strongly suggest to stay with standard a2sd & move just app (answer no to dalvik), you'll have enough space for all you need

it's more tricky to fit all things without ext partition but I prefer this (simple) way because sd card can give issues very easily & it's easier to manage just one simple fat partition or booting the device without any sd card inside :cool:

ps: I move to sd card only simple app such as games or navi software
[Desire Android Development] mackowiakp:
Slow SD card

My test shows that my SD card is something like class 0,5 :eek:

So I order real Class 10 SDHC card and I simply will make bit copy using dd (under Linux) old card to new one. So (I hope) it is the simplest way to exchange cards. Just P&P (Plug and Pray) :D

Slow SD Card

So You suggest to reinstall whole system and during a2sd install do not create dalvik partition for cache? What amount of space is available for apps installing?

As I googled SDHC card is compatible with "ordinary" HTC Desire phone.

I use EXT filesys because it is much common for me. Even WIN partition on my laptop is intalled on NTFS partition but data are stored on Linux partition because it is basic system form me. It is possible to read/write to and from EXT filesys by WIN using ext2 extension/driver from sourceforge.
[Desire Android Development] funkymagicuk:
Can you update a version that works against 4.5.3 please!

[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Ok well if Sandvold is able to contact me somehow, I have a working version of the NikezUpdateNotifier. It now opens sandvold.as when clicked upon. \o/
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
no you don't need to reinstall a single bit

for what I understood right now you don't have any ext partition

1. backup to your pc your sd as a regular usb drive

2. create an ext part (I suggest directly from recovery, for ex 4ext recovery), this will format sd fat too (so you need step 1)

3. boot your device & copy back sd (fat) content

4. activate a2sd (look at 1st page for instructions) only for app

your app will be move/linked to ext partition while dalvik will continue to stay in internal memory

about my experiences is enough 1gb, but if you have a big sd (>=16gb) you could create a bigger one (2/4gb)

Thank you, but theres no need now - I have solved it :)

Please fill out this poll, regarding new features included in my update-notifier.
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
There were no framework changes, so the 0.5.1 mods will work with 0.5.3 rom and there should be no errors...
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Ok cool, thanks a lot :) just remember that the Rom needs to boot before installing the new framework packages or the signiture messes up... Maybe in the updater script write the normal framework res and create an app for extra mods to pull from a server? For instance, include an app called sandvolds mods, let it open (with root permissions) and then get it to change the framework-res for different values (soft keys, lock screen rotation, even modded mms can be there), just a thought though, I cannot build apps or I would have by now..... Actually syncing sources and trying to build from scratch at the moment...

[Desire Android Development] EViollet:
Hi. I actually have a suggestion.

How about preventing the updater from automatically launching at startup and eating up free memory for nothing?

I personally have frozen it with Titanium so that it stops eating up precious RAM, but if the automatic checking could be disabled (or on a schedule), I could actually find the app useful! :)

What do you think?
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Well I can do that if you'd like but the "oh-so-precious" RAM it eat's isnt much. Infact.. Close to nothing.

Edit: It is on a schedule, it runs as a service - it cant be made smaller.
[Desire Android Development] funkymagicuk:

[Desire Android Development] Shiftone:
I have a couple of suggestions.

I think having a popup dialogue when tapped asking if the user wants to download or visit sandvold.as would be good.

I also think it might be worth changing the name to match the rom - there have been several people concerned that it was some sort of spyware - for the sake of this thread at least I think it should appear more obviously part of the rom.

AVRCP broken.

A big thank you to everyone working on this ROM!

Anyway, I've noticed that AVRCP isn't working, though it was on the stock ROM, and I'm using the same handsfree device. Any more info I can provide or things to try to resolve the problem?

This is the device I use in the car:

http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...Free-car-Kit-With-FM-Transmitter/Product.html

A2DP works, so I can listen to music on my car stereo. HFP also works, so I can do voice activated hands-free calling, etc. The lack of AVRCP means I can't use the Play/Pause and Forward/Back buttons on the device.

Hboot = Stock

Version = Beta_0.5.2

Full wipe before? = Yes

A2SD-script = Stock A2SD (I think)
[Desire Android Development] Sandvold:
Okey I'm going to bed. I was suppose to release a new version with some fixes and more choices in aroma, but I don't know if I'll get it done with my current screen:P At least it takes more time doing it.

But I'll give it a go tomrrow, nothing major and it will be possible to flash without wipe. But as I said, I can't promise that I get it done

Hi.

I don't know how it works, but it eats up 20 Mb of the phone's RAM all the time. Maybe the information reported by SystemPanel is false in which case I stand corrected, but I do find that it's too much memory for this function.

I understand if you prefer leaving it as it is. No offense. I check the forum often enough for this to be a non issue :)

That must be incorrect. I asked other users and it only used 2.0 - 2.9 MB. But yeah, in the future you could just edit the .zip and remove the application from /system/app. No worries.

[Desire Android Development] Smask:
Well, the thing is that the Cl4 (and Cl6) cards are usually optimized to be quick on small random reads and writes. This suites phones well, but sucks on a camera/video recorder. So the manufacturers optimizes Cl10 cards to do bursts (large continuous data chunks) well. You'll have to investigate the card before you buy.

I have a Samsung 16gb Cl10 that is a lagfest when keeping the app data on sd-ext so I just use stock a2sd:

su
a2sd install

and answering Yes on moving Dalvik to sd-ext, No on moving the app data and No to rebooting. Then I reboot to recovery manually and wipe Dalvik+cache there. (Letting the a2sd script reboot might leave some residual cruft as the system may flush some data to the cache before rebooting so you still have to boot into recovery to clean Dalvik+cache properly. We're just saving a step here.)

Make sure the partitions are aligned to standard MSDOS block sizes. The card's controller performs better when it doesn't have to do internal shuffling when accessing the memory. 4ext recovery does this automagically when partitioning or you can be hardcore and create the partitions manually using fdisk on a Linux box.
