No This Wont Speed Up Things...!

On /System/ Partition There Are Only Those Apps Which Come PreInstalled On The Device Or With Rom We Install, So There Is A Lot Of Space Left On It...!

The Apps We Install From Market Or Other Sources, They Install On /Data/ Partition, So As We Install More Of The Apps, More Space Is Consumed...!

Dalvik-Cache Also Increases As We Install More Apps...!

Before Doing This I Had 160mb Of Dalvik-Cache (Which Is On /Data/ Partition)

So By Moving Dalvik-Cache To System It Will Consume The Free Space On /System/ Partition Nd Will Allow Us To Install More Apps On /Data/ Partition...!

In My Case Around 160Mb...!

Hope Yuh Get It Nw...!=))

Use The /System/ One...! That Will Move Dalvik-Cache To /System/ Partition...!

Im Using That From May 7th...! Never Had Any Problem On Mini...!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] D-dy:
Yap, will try it soon :)

Good job...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pippochennedi:
well i try to explain, /dev/ partition is a tmpfs, not a real memory.

it's a virtual memory, just like asec (that is a mount of a folder on sd-card).

but... /dev/ resides in RAM memory, that's why using dalvik2dev you have more FC than usual, you have 90MB (or whatever your dalvik cache is) less free RAM.

and that's why boot is slower... RAM memory is volatile, so your device have to rewrite everytime the whole dalvik cache (just like when you make a wipe).

this could even be a good thing, because if you put the dalvik cache on a superfast memory every app can be faster... if we had more RAM!

bye!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pompyz:
I tried this by moving Dalvik to Dev with your script. But while checking through Root Explorer, i found that Data folder still have the Dalvik-cache folder in it and also a new Dalvik-cache folder created in Dev folder and both the Dalvik-cache folders in two locations having the same size. As a result Dev folder has been decreased by the size of dalvik-cache.

Is this situation normal??? I mean to say when the Dalvik-cache is moved to Dev, then why it still exists in Data also?? Is it the same Dalvik-cache is now present in two locations ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] evilbarcode:
I have a theory on this, bear with me. So when the script is run at boot it copies the dalvik to /dev. But the android system still uses the dalvik out of /data. So really all this is doing is taking more space on /dev and replaceing it on boot with the new dalvik cache files. Please OP correct me if I am wrong.

Edit: I took a look at the /dev script, and it seems to me that all this is really doing is checking to see if dalvik is on /data and if so creating a folder on /dev called dalvik and then moving all dalvik files from /data/dalvik/* to /dev/dalvik/* and but its not removing the files out of /data/dalvik/* or creating the symlinks to connect the /data/dalvik with /dev/dalvik

I'm a little lost on some of the syntax used in the script but that's what I got.

Personal opinion, this is pointless. Good idea just not executed properly. Not that I could do any better I'm just saying.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Publiuss:
Hi

For freeing space on rom, there are various implementations of this kind, this looks like one of the n00b-er (as the every-word-capital-letter)... :rolleyes:

Firstly, the partitions:

As user pippochennedi said, /dev is a virtual partition (like /proc, /sys...), is stored in RAM and is recreated after every boot. Putting stuff there is BAD.

Instead /system is a physical partition, but moving there some (growing on) stuff like dalvik cache is a very risky thing, it's not good if you lost control and /system gets full.

Secondly, many other apps use symlinks, that are very flexible and transparent to system.

I don't see the point of not using very good apps line link2sd; however everyone is free to try and experiment on his handset, but expect some problem.

And thirdly, please, guys and girls, put Gnu-Linux on your PC, you'll learn a bunch of useful things.

Bye.

Hello,

I wanted to know if there is a Problem when I just unlocked my Bootloader und directly flashed the [FIRMWARE][6.0.A.3.73] Central Europe 1 Generic (for Germany)? My XPS came with .62 Firmware.

Do I need to do something else and did I take the correct Firmware?

Because my phone wants to "update" to the original Sony ROM 6.0.A.3.63, so I have blocked the Sony update app with Titianium Backup.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
It's a FTF, you can flash it even without unlocking.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veritasaequita:
there's a few function/options in the camera settings that i was hoping someone could explain in there words kinda real world meanings. ill post a SS of a few of the ones that could use a easy interpretation. thanks

sent from my BMF-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
These are typical settings for any camera that will accept manual settings.

White balance basically measures the color 'temperature' to get the most accurate colors possible.

ISO is light sensitivity. It can be altered from automatic for different lighting situations manually.

I believe metering is the location the camera will take a sample check for lighting level to give the best overall light balance for the WHOLE picture. For instance, center is default and if there were a lit light bulb in the center of the picture you are taking, it would correct the lighting of the entire photo just based on that area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veritasaequita:
deff the type of answer i was looking for..so there is no optimal setting for those reasons, correct? is there a camera app that automatically attempts to set most options for best picture/results that anyone knows of our would recommend? thanks

ps. any thought from anyone on the auto contrast setting or any other important but not mentioned setting?

sent from my BMF-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Typically, most of these settings are set to Auto to make it easy to take photos. Most amateur and pros will adjust the settings manually to get the best possible picture.

The settings can be changed manually to adjust for different environments.

I guess a good example would be a dimly lit room. You can take a picture with the flash and it may be an acceptable photo. However, if you know what settings to use (and it's a good quality camera), you do not need the flash and the quality of the photo will be completely different. This is also why you see professional photographers use several light stands to provide more indirect lighting because using a flash can wash out and cause unpleasant shadowing effects in photos.

The phone part of my Note is a tertiary function. Compared to browsing, media playback, messagingn and social networking, I rarely use it as a phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedje:
Let me guess, you went to the local 'The Phonehouse' and told them you wish to buy a new phone....You didn't ask for a media playback, messaginng and social networking device that also allows you to make phonecalls.....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richlum:
Same here. I was never the type of person to have long phone conversations anyway, but I use my phone less and less for phone calls these days.

What used to require a phone call, or multiple calls, is now usually done using sms, email, facebook messages, online chat, whatsapp etc.

If you wanted to organise to go out tonight or something, it used to take maybe 3 or 4 phone calls to check who was available, when and where everyone could, or wanted to go etc., now you can do a group message or chat and get it organised with a lot less time and effort and you don't have to actually catch someone when they are free to talk.

Sms still uses the phone network though, but it's use is declining due to most people having Whatsapp, facebook messaging etc. available on their mobile and costing less. But we'll still need the data network to remain.

In regards to name, I, and most people I know, just call them "mobiles" now, which is still a shortened version of "mobile phone" which everyone is aware of, but for anyone who just landed on the planet, there is no phone reference there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pboesboes:
Actually, I bought my Note online. But to address your point, if I were to go to the local T-Mobile shop, I'd ask for a new "mobieltje", which translates to "mobile". The phone part of mobile phone is almost a vestige, especially with VOIP & Whatsapp becoming more popular. Although it is sometimes called a smartphone, so I guess there's that.

Still, if I had to choose between dropping the phone network or the data connection on my Note... well, you can guess my answer! :D

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braxos:
I wasn't talking only about the NOTE but for all Multimedia devices out there. and quoting Wikipedia

taking the last few words of it REFERRED TO AS smartphones. they have nothing to do with the mobile devices, they just got the word Phone on their name because of the pre-evolution state of been. as you would say the human race, apes. we did may evolve from them but we are a new species in the evolution Lader.

because their purpose of the device isn't anymore to call someone, or send a SMS. and this wasn't enough for you just thing the

reason you have bought your last multimedia device. was it is the good quality phone calls? was it the better signal reception? or was it the keyboard layout for better SMS writing? or was it the bigger display to see movies/webbrowsing or the better cpu-gpu (soc) for better gaming?

so now can you see the whole picture?

For me it's a smartphone because although I use the phone part less and less it is still important to me. Yes I chose the Note because of all it's features (big screen, connectivity, office capabilities...). Nonetheless the phone functionality is a basic requirement. If the note did not come with the phone functionality I would not even have considered buying it. No phone is a no go, I absolutely need a device that can make phone calls.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
It is a phone. I spend between an hour and four hours every day using it as ... a phone!

The fact that I can do a great deal more with it, and it regularly replaces the need for a camera, mp3 player, kindle, video recorder and even a laptop, is a massive bonus, and the reason I bought it.

But it's still a phone!

I recall a friend of mine telling me his son had a new smart phone. He used every single function on it apart from the phone itself! That was because he had no social life ...

First time caller, long time listener.

So I followed "Installing ICS V3 unlocked bootloader and custom recovery" and used blackthund3r's tool, seemed to work but when I try to boot into recovery I get the dead Android dude with a "!". I installed ICS via Acer update and achieved root via blackthund3r's tool as well, I could not achieve recovery after that either.

Any ideas?
[Acer Iconia A500] blackthund3r:
Try flashing with the flash tool again. Also ensure you have Acer's USB drivers completely installed. To check you're in APX Mode you can use A500 Manager or the flash tool at the preparation screen. Only flash when the tool says it has detected a device in APX Mode or it will not work.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bcohn:
still not working

edit: it seems to leave APX mode in the begining of the flash according to A500 manager. Is this normal?
[Acer Iconia A500] blaz1nr:
Factory reset your tab. Reflash v3 boot loader,once its done rerun blackthunder , install Acer recovery app from market's it will show you a version of v3 boot loader install it.. Or if you still have root install Acer recovery wait until you see the new boot loader on the screen and choose it for install, this should fix your problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bcohn:
I'll give it a try later today, thank you.
[Acer Iconia A500] the_cryptonym:
I had similar issue

I used blackthunder ICSRoot and his APXflash tool, and it said it was done. It was rooted, but I still only had the factory recovery (non-functioning dead bot). Acer had locked down the r/w ability on /system and it wasn't doing that part correctly it seemed. I had missed seeing that at the top of ICSRoot tool is a menu to Remount -> Remount /System r/w. I reran ICSRoot, chose that remount option, and immediately ran the option to "Remove the auto-reflash...". Then I reran the APXflash with bundle 5. Now I have cwm. One missing step tripped me up completely. Hope you are just as lucky, and only one step from success.
[Acer Iconia A500] pyromaniac3303:
This worked perfectly! It took me forever to get recovery back. Thanks man

I used to rooted and unlocked this phone. And installed a rom. Then I think I installed a wrong HBOOT or a radio and it bricked. I tried to debrick but it didn't work. Then I put the phone aside for a while. Now I want to make it work again. I did a lot stuff on it that I don't remember. Now phone starts in RUU mode.

I'm a noob so I don't know every commands or how these things work so I followed some guides but I've got errors every time. Is my phone bricked totally? Is JTAG necessary? or is there a way to get out from RUU mode and install correct HBOOT and RADIO? or if those correct than what am I doing wrong? This is a My Touch 3G T-mobile.

I completely understand where everyone is coming from about the Note.. It's the biggest and relatively slimmest phone out there, however, there is just something about the New GalaxyS3 that is just sexy to me, the HDAMOLED screen everything, not to mention you know it'll be the phone they don't throw away after a couple of months of it being out.. "Cough" Infuse "Cough" lol... j/k.. but really, it's like having someone ask you, "Would you rather sleep with a Victoria Secret Model 'A' or Victoria Secret Model 'B'." lol.. It doesn't really matter, they're both Victoria Secret Models so they're both obviously sexy, so it just comes down to personal preference, Blondes, Brunettes or Gingers.. lol..
