[HD2 Android NAND Development] OCedHrt:
That's just a small part of it...we can also clear cache from CWR, or use the cache partition instead of linking to data partition.

The problem comes when the cache partition is linked to the data partition. I think it is only cleaned up (FIFO) when there is insufficient space, since it is using the internal storage, it isn't cleaned up until there is insufficient space on the internal storage. This may sound okay, but half the time the market download successfully fits into /cache but does not leave enough space to install the apk. This causes the install the fail and you are likely unable to install any app until some space is freed up. If you try to install a different app, it will just replace another item in the cache and there will still not be enough free space to install. I would rather dedicate a fixed partition to the cache so that it does not interfere with application installation.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] iamcxa:
so that is the reason let some rom link this /cache to sdcard, and seems solved this issue ... even it don't cleared that folder still doesn't matter.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] OCedHrt:
Yes. Then app installs will not fail. But doing so still breaks market apps management of the cache partition because it doesn't run out of space. Although this is not a big deal I think.

Thanks for providing the key explanation to help me wrap my head around what's happening. I have updated the first post.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] iamcxa:
yeah I think that's fine, because we already broken the android and rebuilding for HD2 ... so any help can i provide?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] OCedHrt:
You can have a thanks :)

I think ultimately the goal is to raise awareness for chefs to not link /cache to /data/ but rather link it to /sdcard or cache partition.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] iamcxa:
lol thanks , you know i'm a thanks meter Collectors now :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] OCedHrt:
To further emphasize why this is a major problem, I have attached screen captures of market downloading the same app multiple times simultaneously. I just purchased 5 apps, but market has already downloaded over 17 apks and is still going. I had 160 mb free prior to this and am now out of space before any app is even installed!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] iamcxa:
the pics are very small. try this script, put it to /init.d and set permission to 755, when reboot should works.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] OCedHrt:
Oh sorry about that. I guess they get resized when uploaded using the XDA app

Thanks for the script! I'm not sure that I fully want them on my sdcard just yet. I upgraded to the new market because at least it only downloads 1 apk at a time - and I think this may be the reason for that change.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] iamcxa:
i saw have someone dl my script, seems i made some mistake it will work first time , when second reboot maybe no go. so i upload new one.:)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jcsy:
should probably take off the old one, less more people download it
[HD2 Android NAND Development] iamcxa:
sure, thanks for remind :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geeksquad2:
So earlier this month I hard bricked my captivate playing with bootloaders going from Froyo to GingerBread. Yes...I'm a noob...

The phone got stuck at SBL.bin for over eight hours. Then I pulled the batt and the USB. Then it was game over.

I contacted MobileTechVideo, paid them my money and shipped it off to them.

It got there yesterday. They have had it for 24 hours now....I'm excited to possibly have it back before Xmas...

I paid extra for them to install a rom/upgrade for me.

I'm thinking of going to ICS, but I really use the phone as a Daily Driver and would like something stable.

I'm not asking what rom should I go with. I understand that those threads get locked quickly.

But should I go ICS yet or stay with GingerBread?

Remember, I won't be flashing the rom, MobileTechVideo will be so no worries about messing it up!

My fear is that if I don't get ICS professionally installed now, then I won't be comfortable about flashing it myself later. And I really don't want to miss out...

I'm torn about what todo....:confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
I'm assuming you are getting unbrickable mod, which, what do you think you will screw up if you install a ROM? You are unbrickable. :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davensocal:
Maybe I missed the point, but as a daily driver, I would think you would want something that has a little more track time on a large install base..

I was faced with the same question, and chose to go with one of the leaked ROMs. As much fun as this can be, I need my phone to be working as well...

Good luck with your choice!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
Well that's what I was confused about. ICS will act the same weather it's "professionally" installed or I install it. There is no Nexus S source so it's bound to be super buggy regardless.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geeksquad2:
Funny you ask....

I originally did ask for the unbrickable mod because 'doesn't that sound good? Who wouldn't want that?'

Then I spent a night reading about it....and changed my mind.

I may be wrong here, but from what I read it's great for a guy who is an expert, runs a linux box and spends his days flashing various rom combinations.

However for a noob, I didn't want to be bothered with holding down the power button for 5 seconds on every boot. And I sure as heck don't have a linux box to get into the unbrickable portion to actually unbrick the thing. It didn't seem to me like a nice easy, 'Here's how to get out of trouble by clicking your heels together three times' item that I need as a noob.

No, it sounds great on paper, but I think in reality if I brick it again for some reason, I'll just pay MTV to fix it. It's a tradeoff between giving MTV some of my money when I mess up and usability on a daily basis. I'll take usability thanks. I am gratefull that there are experts here who have the ability to repair the phone no matter what I do to it.

That doesn't mean that I will stop reading XDA and learn though...By the time my upgrade is due, I may have enough knowledge to use it on my next phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geeksquad2:
Thanks!

That's what I was leaning towards too. I just wanted to be sure that I wasn't going to miss out on the new shiney stuff that the 'cool' kids are playing with....

Okay I have searched and searched to no avail.

Need a small favor in return for all the help I've given those with kindle fires. I don't have a kindle fire and need some information from someone that does.

Anyone that knows how, I need them to run (if they're using the stock kindle firmware, not cm7):

Then paste me the results either here or in a PM.

If you're wondering what that information is, it's the partition sizes and disk space of your kindle. I need it for something I am working on that will benefit people that can't restore their device due to excessive noobness :D

it may just be expansys australia putting a wrong capacity on the title.

the battery shown on the photo has "for EB615268VU" on it, and EB615268VU is the original 2500mAh GNote battery. So if this goki is supposed to replace the original, maybe it has the same capacity. The battery/box image certainly doesn't have any capacity info on it.
