hey hipkat... isnt the a2sd reinstall command for relinking the apps in the ext partition to a newly flashed rom. i use that command when i flash a new rom and all my apps seem to be reinstalled. maybe im misunderstanding something. i dont wipe my sd ext partition... i know some say to, but its never caused an issue for me. I just hate trying to remember and redownloaad all my apps.

Sorry... I should have clarified... What custom kernels work with Energy? I can just look through the thread when I get home if no one knows of the top of their head...

How does one wipe dalvik cache when it's on the sd card?
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
It's linked via A2SD

@Dbenny, When I flash a new ROM, I do a complete wipe of everything, except SD Card, obviously, so that's why I don't run reinstall, but yeah, you're right about that

Question...im running Miui 2.3.2 swiper. I heard someone say that the Beta 4 version of DTA2SD was built into Miui. I recently partitioned my stock 8 GB sd card, cleared data,cache and dalvik cache and once I got my phone back on it asked if I wanted the apps to move to my SD card. Does that mean its installed? I wasnt sure so I went to the terminal and typed

su

a2sd reinstall and the phone rebooted
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Most ROMS say they have A2SD installed, but to get the full range of commands, you should still flash it in Recovery
[EVO 4G General] yungskeeme:
Ok...I have the A2SDGUI app it says the apps are going to the SD card but the swap is deactivated....I know I assigned 60 for it when I partioned the drive. Probably do need flash it. Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Swap is not available on our phones. I know some kernels say they have it, but I haven't seen it work yet
[EVO 4G General] vwgtiturbo:
How would I know what apps were actually installed to SDEXT versus the FAT side? Using A2SD GUI just shows that SDEXT is active, and the Froyo-based App2SD shows SD and on phone, with no distinction of what is ACTUALLY on the SD (or better stated, what is on the SDEXT or the FAT formatted portion). Do I just have to use a file manager and see what's listed under the EXT to see what apps are actually on the EXT?

Sent via Tapatalk on my E4G
[EVO 4G General] Robobob1221:
I haven't actually checked properly but if you go to system/sd/ using a file manager I believe the apps and dalvik, if you chose to move it, can be found there.

Another thing I used to do was compare data size in manage application setting before and after running a2sd. Not the best way I know!

Edit: I looked at mine and I have the folders in the data folder as well. Does that mean I've got duplicates?

私はローボーボブ。 Haro！！
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Just go to Settings/Apps and then Manage Apps there is a tab for apps on the SD Card.

Titanium Backup will also tell you this
[EVO 4G General] vwgtiturbo:
Titanium backup only shows the amount of space available and free on the EXT, unless I'm missing something and it actually shows where each app is installed. Right now in running CM7, so I can't verify...

Thanks for all of the info. I think everything is working fine now :)
[EVO 4G General] vwgtiturbo:
Alright, I have to ask one thing... I'm not sure if this is my A2SD ignorance or...? It seems that when I boot up and do the whole 'su' and 'a2sd install' after a ROM load, the system reboots as it should, then after the SD card is squared away, my apps are present. However, if I reboot, my apps are gone. If I repeat the 'su' and 'a2sd install', the system reboots again, and the apps are back.

So... Do I have to 'su' and 'a2sd install' after every boot normally, or do I have a problem somewhere? I've been wiping and flashing this beast for two days, with no change in the end result...
[EVO 4G General] dbenney:
are you doing

"su"

"a2sd install"

or "a2sd reinstall"

i have never had that problem with apps disappearing upon reboot.
[EVO 4G General] vwgtiturbo:
Well I've tried both ways, with similar results. However I did notice today, on the thread for the ROM I'm having these difficulties with (Decks Reloaded) that it may be a kernel issue, as someone had the problem before and switching kernels took care of it. We shall see...

It's driving me nuts though. Granted, I am a complete noob in regards to A2SD, but I've been rooting flashing a few years, so I was getting a little nutty not being able to figure this out...

[EVO 4G General] Robobob1221:
What kernel are you running out of interest?

私はローボーボブ。 Haro！！
[EVO 4G General] vwgtiturbo:
It is the default Mason kernel in the Aroma installer (I don't recall the version).

[EVO 4G General] spyder3:
When flashing ROM's with a2sd already baked in, do you still need to flash DTa2sd?

a2sd shows up in TB for me, but the 'su' commands in terminal do nothing for me.
[EVO 4G General] vwgtiturbo:
My understanding (could be wrong) is that ROMs with baked in A2SD have SUPPORT for it built in (the kernel supports it) but you still need to flash the script, unless their installer does it already (e.g. Aroma-based installers usually have it as an option if available).

[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
I've had that problem with MIU a lot. Seems the first few reboots, I'd have to let the phone sit and not touch it at all for about 5 mins or all my apps and widgets would be "gone". After 2 or 3 reboots, it'd be fine
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
Is Lionfish one of the ones that claims to have it but doesn't really? Because I've been experimenting with swap on it and it seems to work great as far as I can tell. Is this output (below) conclusive or is there something else I need to look for to see if it's really doing anything?

sh-3.2$ cat /proc/swaps

Filename Type Size Used Priority

/dev/mmcblk0p3\040(deleted) partition 62044 19948 -1

sh-3.2$
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
I haven't tried Lionfish yet, but if it's working ,that's an awesome thing.
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
I'm pretty sure it qualifies as an awesome thing. detcup4evr gave the community a huge gift when he took lithid's already awesome Freedom kernel and added swap, added some new governors, removed CIQ, and added SBC. Not bad for a Sense kernel.

Read OP at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1496488

[EVO 4G General] vwgtiturbo:

Hmmm... Then how would you truly move an app to the phones internal storage?

Sent via Tapatalk on my Deck's Reloaded E4G
[EVO 4G General] yungskeeme:
Right....thought I was on the card cuz my internal storage is over 200mb..

Fixed the last issue...bad back up
[EVO 4G General] xfullmetal17:
Only way to get it to truly be in the internal storage is to move it to /system/app, since /data/app is symlinked with /sd-ext/app with DTa2sd. Back up the data for that app first, in case it gets lost. And when you've moved it, you'll have to reboot your phone to get the app to open again. I've done this with a few apps that work a lot better when not running from an ext.
[EVO 4G General] cuetzpallin:

[EVO 4G General] yungskeeme:

Absolutely on the system apps. I think ROM Toolbox will be OK, but Systuner comes with a Widget so you don't want to move it, if you're using the Widget
[EVO 4G General] yungskeeme:

I'm about the do the sd partition, as the benefits seem quite great, but my question is, is there anyway to restore my current apps that are installed, or am i really going to have to completely start all over???:(
[EVO 4G General] yungskeeme:
If your rooted just use titanium backup...I recently partitioned my SD card with that method and everything is here
[EVO 4G General] fiddy619:
I'm rooted, so using TB to backup apps, then what, restore them? I've already got running on my sdcard using burnt in CM7 method, but this seems to be a better option performance wise and such, as well as moving the app as well as data would be nice. So using TB when i restore will it just automatically restore to the newly partitioned ext3/ext4 partition? Should i just backup data, then re-install all the apps?
[EVO 4G General] cuetzpallin:
I think the best way is partition all your data and reinstall the apps, in this way you ensure it will be installed on the sd partition, then use TB to restore data.

But its only my understanding, I didn't use TB yet.
[EVO 4G General] fiddy619:
Thats what i was thinking...
[EVO 4G General] Robobob1221:
Partioning your sd card wipes all data from it. Unless your using TiB to backup to box, db or drive it will be erased. Transfer it to your pc while partioning then copy it back.

I initially partitioned a 2gb ext4 partition, and then Ran that, then i started getting fc's on my market, so I then cleared the market cache, as well as cache/dalvik, and it allowed me to open the market, but as soon as i tried to download something again, went right back into fc's. Any ideas??? I have now re-partitioned to a 2gb ext3 partition (I think i remember reading somewhere that cm7 didn't work well with ext4) running cm7.2 rc2 stock kernel, and dta2sd beta4...

It almost seemed like it may have pushed my market to the ext4 partition.

I have restored from nandroid, so my system is completely back to how it was before, and I've also copied all my data back to the fat portion of the sdcard, so right now i'm running a cm7.2 rom with a 16gb sdcard partitioned w/2gb ext3, and the rest fat (with all my previous data and apps that where moved there via burnt in cm7 apps2sd).

I did the factory reset in Hboot, after i booted the phone as usual it gives a loading screen which goes on foreever. If i put the phone on screen locker i can use functions such as call or messages. I can also use the messages screen and quick settings to get to the: Settings menu.

What can i do?

MAny thanks.

Edit: I can also get into market trough the settings....
[HTC Wildfire S] skyler1994:
No you didn't brick your phone. Read up a bit or use google.

What exactly isn't working and why did you do a factory reset? What rom are you using? Are you bootloader-ulocked / s-off? Are you rooted?

Give us some more info if you want us to help you..

I rooted the phone and than i tried to make a backup of the stock rom, but i couldn't get into the recovery. Which is a isue any have with my version of the wildfire S.

Than after getting desparate i tried the factory reset.

When i booted the phone again as i said, it gets stuck with "loading, this could take a while..."
[HTC Wildfire S] Jill the not Mecha person:
blame HTC Sense

it loves loading for a very, VERY long time after resets, so you need to have patience

Unfortunatly

After a few (10) minutes the phone gives the following message:

Unfortunatly!

Download this, root the phone and disable Sense after it's rooted.

U said root the phone? I already did this, since i have supersu and esfileexplorer. Should i still do it again

Edit: Now i unlocked my screen and selected: Do action by: Laucher (instead of HTC Sence) and it gives me a desktop

Edit2: When go to settings -> Adjust -> DO action by: HTC Sence, it gets stuck @ the loading screen again.

So now i have the launcher version. Maby it's an idear to instal a other skin? Anyway thanks alot so far!

Hi devs/experts,

I am extremely excited about the S3 but my only gripe is that the icons (phone, messaging, contacts) etc look very dated.

Fortunately it's android, so we can change them (I assume).

So can we change them without keeping everything else in the phone stock?

If there's a solution to this quickly then I will do it the first thing after I get the phone.

Thanks!

[HTC One X] tkolev:
HTC are without a doubt aware of this so called "problem". Don't you think that if it's still present after three updates, it's classified as a minor defect? Who knows what was affected in the pre-release software that was at MWC and could be solved by turning off tha LWP animation? If any company waits to have a bug-free software before they release it, they will never release anything. The only bug-free app I have seen so far is 'hello world' :)
[HTC One X] DjAbu:
Who said that new phone must be bug free? Of course there are some bugs.

But as far as I can say, this phone beats my previous phone 10-0. Galaxy S was real pain in the ass. Kies updates, wlan, GPS. All those was driving me nuts. Now with One X, everything is like kiss to my cheek. Ota, wlan, GPS, call quality, speed, everything is better. So, that live wallpaper problem is not my biggest consern.

No more Samsung. At all. Not even a tv. :)

[HTC One X] nimrodity:
@vladnosferatu

Can you please make a zip to revert back to the normal size?

Though I like the small size in general its just too weird cramped up looking for most of the time in the browser.

I use dolphin with Page setting,font size normal and distance far. With distance normal its ok, but with far the letters are really really small but still easily readable, but cramped.

plz plz plz
[HTC One X] GabrielSousa:
Ok i will make
[HTC One X] nimrodity:
Thx so much.

Bit i even think of keeping ist for a while with small Fonts,will have to see.

But its Good to know i can go back easily if i devise to.

If it wouldn't be for some site on dolphin with those low height fonts I would keep it because overall the experience is better with smaller font.

Btw why aren't changes in the dpi like with density changing apps working correct.
