Hmmm...

Was talking to Rayman and it doesn't actually seem that hard to do... Just gotta change the init.cardhu.rc in the ramdisk to mount /data to /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 instead of /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

The thing is, that while I know every step that I have to take to get it done, I haven't used linux in forever and quite honestly I couldn't even compile blobtools right now if I wanted to to extract the ramdisk from the boot blob to make the necessary change... so yea anyone who knows how to edit a kernel should be able to do it, and then just repack it as a blob... I'll probably look into it later, but if anyone wants to type the terminal commands for to to get/compile blobtools I'll appreciate it...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
As in just a mount of data to mmcblk1p2?

Would a temp solution (just to check if it works) be to remount data manually? (Tried it, to mmcblk1p1 btw since 1p2 didn't seem to exist for me, but it still mounts to mmcblk0p8.

Using:

mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /data

(as su in terminal)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TweakerL:
Reason why mmcblk1p2 didn't work is because you have to repartition the sd card to have an ext4 partition... personally what I did was take my 32gb sd card and have the first partition as a fat32 partition for storage and set the rest to an ext4 partition... also, you have to do that because the /data partition is already expected to be an ext4 partition on most of the current ROMs... Trying to set it without doing that most likely won't work.

Also, another thing that's important is that for this to be beneficial you have to have an SD Card with higher random write speed than your internal storage speed... my internal storage speed is about .25 mb/s and my sdcard is about 1.5mb/s so there should be a big difference... Oh and if you happen to have a class 10 sdcard that doesn't necessary mean that it has high random write speed... you actually have to go look up the specs or run benchmarks on it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
Thanks, makes sense yeah... will have to check if it's worth the hassle for now. Not at this moment anyway, but interesting concept...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TweakerL:
Stuck... again...

So I figured how to unpack the boot.blob, then unpack the boot.blob.LNX, then decompress the ramdisk... made the necessary change to init.cardhu.rc... compressed the ramdisk to the same format it was before, repacked the boot.blob.LNX, repacked the boot.blob... dd if=blob of=dev/block/mmcblk0p4 seek=28 bs=1 ... and ... nothing... reboot and where you're supposed to get the quick progress bar nothing seems to happen... I'm assuming I messed up on the recompressing ramdisk/packing the boot.blob... but I'm not sure how...

Anyway... I'll post exactly how I did it tomorrow so maybe someone with more experience can help me figure out where I messed up...

But so far, I wanna say thanks to rayman and lilstevie for all the help they've given me so far with this idea.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokopuphz:
Just wondering, why did you choose to use seek=28?

I believe the TFP will need the first 28 header signature to be there in order to flash through the staging paritition (p4).

Your other option would be to flash using fastboot:

1. If you've installed the AndroidRoot.mobi bootloader (if you have nvflash), then you can directly flash the boot.blob.LNX file, as this is a raw image.

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash boot boot.blob.LNX

2. If you don't have AndroidRoot.mobi bootloader, then I suggest you get NVFlash working first and get a backup... if not, you can use the following to flash the blob:

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash boot blobfileyou'vecreated

3. Use fastboot to flash to the staging partition:

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging blobfileyou'vecreated
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Turge:
I've repacked the boot.img for the Prime before to add init.d support so I'll post my method and the files needed in a few minutes once I get to work. It'll involve getting cygwin installed (with Perl support I believe) if you're on Windows.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Parastie:
Would it be better to move cache and maybe dalvik cache (assuming the SD random read/write is faster then internal memory) ? Since you're only moving data and leaving cache on internal, that'll still hit the issues of having bad IO. Moving cache (which I believe would have more random access) I think would be better.

Thoughts?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TweakerL:
Thanks for the idea, I tried to do that but nothing seemed to happen (checking on file manager /data partition is still taking the same amount of space as it did before). It would've been a really good way of testing this whole thing though :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TweakerL:
I used seek=28 out of despair and by lilstevie's suggestions... dd with or without seek had the same exact result, the staging just ignoring the whole thing lol...

Sounds like a plan (flashing with fastboot)... I've got one dumb question though before I do that (and yea i've got nvflash setup and all the backups and stuff). How do I actually go about restoring the system with NVFLASH if I go and borke the system ? XD
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TweakerL:
That would be much appreciated, I don't mind steps for windows or linux, I'll go either way :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TweakerL:
I agree that moving the cache is a good idea, one of the main reasons why I'm testing with /data though is that it will be much easier to have solid evidence of whether this works or not that way since all the benchmark apps seem to benchmark on the /data partition. I know benchmarks aren't real world results, but if I can run benchmarks on the same partition and it's 5 times faster on the SD card than on the internal memory, I think it should mean something. After that, if there are positive results, I'm thinking of moving both /data and /cache partitions and run that way for a while to see how well it performs, and then to run with just the /cache moved and see how that performs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Turge:
Here are the steps for repacking the boot.img. Some involve running the commands via cygwin, others involve running them via the Windows Command Prompt.

The instructions for installing cygwin, extracting and repacking the boot.img were found here: http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/extract-edit-repack-boot-img-windows

Once you have setup cygwin, extract the attached files in a folder under your "home" folder in cygwin.

copy boot.blob to the same folder and run the following via the Windows Command Prompt to extract the boot.img from the boot.blob:

BlobUnpack.exe boot.blob
ren boot.blob.LNX boot.img

From the cygwin bash terminal window, switch to the same folder and run the following to extract the ramdisk from the boot.img:

./extractboot boot.img

You now have an out/ramdisk folder that contains the files you want to edit.

Once done, repack the ramdisk and kernel into boot_new.img with the following command (via cygwin once again):

./packboot

then from the Command Prompt repack boot_new.img into boot2.blob using the following:

blobpack -s boot2.blob LNX boot_new.img

You can now flash the boot.blob to the staging partition via a command in updater-script:

package_extract_file("/boot.blob", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4");

or by using adb while in recovery/android:

dd if=/sdcard/boot2.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tshoulihane:
Did anyone think of running iotop? If we know what part of /data is contributing to the stalls, maybe an interesting idea would be to just mount that part of the tree on SD?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TweakerL:
tyvm will get on it now, will report back any results :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TweakerL:
what's iotop?

Though regardless, the problem I'm trying to deal with is the fact that apparently, the storage hardware in the Prime has limited I/O capabilities, namely random write speeds, regardless of software. Because of this the stalls are at least partially caused by the "where" the /data is rather than the "content" in the /data.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tshoulihane:
ffs. Why do I bother?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TweakerL:
You know, I can just google it, but the fact that you care enough to post your opinion but not enough to explain it is the kind of mentality that keeps people who could potentially contribute to the community from doing so because they have to go research all over the internet, possibly going through bad information, for something that might be very simple. Read a few posts up and you'll see the right kind of mindset. Turge could've just*given some halfassed response and sent me on a wild goose chase but instead he took the time to explain in a way that anyone with any amount of knowledge could understand...

And I hope that since you can't bother to give an useful response, that you can't bother wasting you "precious time" justifying and complaining about how people ask questions that they could just look for elsewhere...
[Verizon Droid Charge] DragoonBrethren:
Title says it all...

Problems: duplicate incoming texts, forever/never downloading mms (when received with data off), and just yesterday I received a text that sent to me back in March... :confused:

As far as outgoing, other than having messages fail to send due to signal strength, I have no clue if I'm sending multiple texts or if all texts are being received. I haven't really done any testing. This problem is just really annoying and persistent.

Current Setup: Tweaked 2.2, FP1 kernel, ext4

I did a full wipe before flashing, the only thing that I can think of is that I restored mms/sms from TB. I have this problem once or twice in the past but then it always went away once I flashed a newer update or different ROM.

You guys think clearing data on the Messaging apk might help? There is also MMS Provisioning...?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I find that the double texts I get are problems from the other side (mostly t-mobile users). As for receiving mms with data off, you can only send/receive mms with data (no wifi).

Sent from my handheld computer using electromagnetic radiation.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DragoonBrethren:
I know about data & mms (and larger sms texts), but I was hoping this wasn't thanks to VZW and instead something with my setup...

Sorry I should have clarified this a little better:

In the past, if I sent/received a mms, I would need to switch data on for it to actually download/upload. In other words, the message would just sit there until I switched data on, and then it would do it's thing. Usually, this would only take a few seconds. Now, when I try to send/receive I actually have to have data on before I send/receive, or else the message will just sit there downloading/uploading and never finish. At which point it seems to slow down my phone, until I just delete the unsent/not received message.

I hope that makes more sense.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
You can go into an app like System Panel and kill Messaging to reset your "Downloading..." message. Be sure you turn data on before you relaunch the app.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sbradley07:
You've solve a mystery I've been unable to figure out for some time! I never realized mms didn't work over wifi. I could never figure out why I would sometimes get photos via txt, and sometimes not. Always thought it was stupid Verizon being...um...stupid. Why is that?

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] DragoonBrethren:
I tried the System Panel tip, and I also tried just force closing Messaging, but neither seemed to work. I eventually just re-flashed everything from scratch and my messaging issues are gone. Its weird, maybe it was just a coincidence or timing with VZW....?

Oh well, thanks for the help/responses guys.

That does not work for this problem. I had this before LG8. Did a full factory reset, new firmware, etc. on LG8. Fine for first day, but started experiencing the problem. I'm also using SpeedMod K1-5.

I think it might have to do with WIFI. If it isn't on, it never locks, at least for me.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] samgalax6201:
hello all i am new to the fourms!!!

i am trying to get my p6201 setup with att DataConnect in the US. I went to the store, and they were unable to set it up becuase it was being recognized as a phone per its IMEI. They told me to call att 800 customer support number to try and set it up since they have more options.

i called them, and they did set me up with that DataConnect plan, however, they are having trouble activating my plan. So, i can't use 3g as of now.

i've been transferred to 18 different people there and i have to wait until monday to speak with sales dept. again.

my questions are:

1: has anyone else experienced this?

2: the phone is unlocked, or at least it said it was in the description where i bought it. do I need to flash a different firmware for it?

3: any advice on how I can get it working? or else i will need to ship it back :(

ty all in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] samgalax6201:
bump, no members welcome new people to fourms? can anyone please provide some insight to this question? ty
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
I have had 6200 on att since novemeber (voice and data), and I will never tell them I have it.

I've heard of some people having great luck with them.

will you be using this for data only?

at&t can be really dumb when it comes to these things. How many were marveled/amazed at your Tab? I think there's been a few others with similar issues to yours.

the key, i believe is finding the right helpful person/rep.

your firmware and baseband should be fine, and you should be unlocked as well.

what are your APN settings?

where are you using this device? in USA? what is the coverage in your area?

do you have a store in your area you can go to? the ones in my area are usually open saturday and sunday, if you have time drop by and try to find a helpful person. TIP: explain your situation but dont give them name/number until you trust that they will help and not try to tell you that you cant use it, etc..

Just read this on a swedish android forum called Swedroid.com.

Its a mod that a user named Sletmo has done, by modding the Google Now apk called velvet.apk. He has done so Google Now always uses English(US) instead of your language choice. So you can use ex Spanish, as your systemlanguage, and still can ask questions to Google Now and get the cards showing and a voice.

Follow the instructions;:

Note that the app requires Jellybean

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/22829424/Velvet.apk

1.The first Download the apk file above

2.The second Remount / system R / W, ADP remount

3.The third Push the apk to / system / app / Velvet.apk, adb push "Velvet.apk" "/ system / app / Velvet.apk"

4a. (Restart the phone) Never needed

4b. You must INSTALL the velvet.apk again, if you dont, you will not have any Google Search/Now at all..

After that it should work perfectly:D

I was going through the apps installed on my note and came across one called Days.apk. It is 6 megs and according to some of the spreadsheets floating around about bloatware, it says that the Days.apk is a widget. When I look at available widgets to place on my homescreen, I don't see this one! I'm tempted to just remove to reclaim my 6 megs but if it is a Day widget, I'd like to see what it looks like on the homescreen! Does anyone know how to activate or access it?

Be careful with any app that you didn't install. Use Titanium Back Up app and freeze the app and see what is affected first. If nothing is affected maybe delete it.
