[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Hammerfest:
Haven't made the jump yet, but all this bickering actually made me think about one of the "mods" I have been playing with that someone made for the HD2, that could/should/would (hopefully) pacify all those complaining about the increase in /system and decrease in /data: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1843062

As far as I know, its a mod based on someone else's earlier work (and so-on and so-on when it comes to mods), that drops the NAND /data partition and instead mounts an EXT4 partition (proper SDCard partitioning required) as /data.

If you are a developer or user with some light understanding of how it works, besides the drawbacks (if no backup's, SDCard death would be tragic), this mod is VERY nifty! (multi-user setup only requiring the swapping of the MicroSD card, its CRAZY!)

As a USER, I have no ability to make/mod this or its base for use on the P1X devices, however, I think if someone could do it up in a custom rom (IE because its something id bet we will never see in nighty's), someone could remove the /data partition entirely, dedicate it all to /system or /cache or /recovery or whatever really and just have an SDCard take/provide all the workload...

I by default partition my MicroSD cards with 4EXT and use a 512MB-SWAP, 1536MB-EXT4, and the rest dedicated to FAT32 (or exFAT on those devices of mine that support it... because exFAT slays FAT32). Now if I where to be using this mod, I would NOT use the SWAP partition (early death already with R/W and IOPS utilizing EXT4 as /data), but my 8GB would yeild 2GB of apps space and 6GB~ of user space...

Just a rambling thought (downloading nightly now because I see P1C support at long last, WHOO HOO!) in the midst of bickering.

EDIT: just some thoughts, this would render app2sd unneeded, if the card went bad, the device just wouldn't work (bootloop?), or would possibly be a blank slate each time upon boot (havent experimented with that kind of catastrophic MicroSD card failure yet), you would ideally need to daily or weekly backup your entire MicroSD card (not really all that hard, and pretty easy to automate, along with storing things in the cloud in the first place)... I probably missed something else, but im sure someone will reply to remind me of the fact im just a USER not a DEV...

After I flashed CM10 I can't connect to a GSM network. Under settings it shows baseband as unknown. Tried reflashing twice and installing Overcome Safe V5 and also flashed various modems via both recovery and Odin to no avail.

If I go back to Overcome Safe GSM works without a problem.

Anyone know what's wrong?

If not using the internal SD which should provide plenty of space, what about the method explained here with INT2EXT+?

If such could be build in the ROM by default it would be a great relief...

Solutions to the memory issues

Just looked at the scripts from int2sd. They look straightforward, if I understand correctly. It would be great if the author, @croniccory :angel: could please confirm my assumptions (below)?

:cowboy:Main diff to link2sd: Instead of using symlinks, which might "dangle" into nirvana when the external SD is removed, permanent mounts for directories are used, provided the external SD is available. But it also appears to handle the situation when the external SD is not present, see below. And it will not cause you stress with wlan (radio) and such.

In addition to using static mounts, int2sd adds a copying task which runs on every boot, from the internal SD (folder /SD-ext) to the ext4 partition for all apps. While this may cause some delay during boot, at least the apps will not get lost when your external SD is removed, and your internal SD will contain a second copy for all apps, kind of like app2SD is working (and probably with the same restrictions.)

So it looks (I have not tried so far, have you, Derk?) as though it were safer to use than link2sd. :D

I still recommend not to remove the external SD on ANY reboot, this holds for both link2sd (where you always lose your apps then:crying:) and for int2sd (who knows what side-effects would be lurking yet.:cool:)

One more difference is that it will affect all apps and their data, not just a selected subset. This might be a performance issue.

PS. :good: YAY!! I found my micro SD adaptor. So I am about to partition my external SD with just one ext4, (no swap, because then my SD might have a longer life span. )
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] aukent:
Just share with someone gona partition external SD with MiniTool by connecting PC and phone directly (no sd card reader with me right now).

connect phone to pc, let the external sd card as a drive, delete partition, click apply. MiniTool report that successful. But it is not.

OK, then resize the partition (FAT), apply, it success. Try to create a new partition, apply, it said successful. But it is not.

Unplug and connect again, MiniTool reports the external sd card is damaged. :confused: Although the resized partition works with phone (read and write).
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] _Derk_:
No, I didn't try as I stay with the old layout until there is a default solution with sufficient space for apps as I don't want to have the hassle to re-install my 200+ apps from time to time :eek:

Bye,

Derk
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rgbigel:
well, as explained a few posts ago by alroger, the PC does not get access to the device when connecting to pc, it's just the first partition you can see, but never the partition table.

I just did successfully partition my ESD via a micro SDcard adaptor. Gawd! I got a device bad message three times with MiniTool. Finally succeeded with W7 to get partitions back, formatted again and got my ext4 finally with MiniTool. Just restoring the data now.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] danielvieira:
Hello everyone, how are you?

Well, as we all noticed, we can't instal many applications, like in previous versions of the Android, so is it possible for the developers to make a change in the system to instal applications directly in SD Card, by default, at least all installable in the SD card, (since we all know that not all applications can't be installed in there...) or during installation of an application, give you the option to choose the memory to instal the application...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] alroger:
Yes, Link2SD, read post #4.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] danielvieira:
I know that, but the idea was without using a third party application...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] _Derk_:
I proposed to include a script into the ROM which would do this automatically by changing mount points.

Bye,

Derk
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] rgbigel:
... and about another 75 posts on the subject.

However, I do agree with your advice! I've tried both "third party apps" (if I count properly, it's only two, and every one of the apps which cause you pain also is a "second party" app), anyway, both promise to solve the problem in theory.

Atm, I have not been able to get int2sd to work on my P1000 at all. It may well be a minor issue like permissions, but I think the second

reason not to use this is this

: it affects all apps at the same time, there is no choice which ones to keep in fast memory and which ones to move to the external SD, because the linking/mounting is static.

I tried link2sd which worked immediately and does exactly what I want it to. It has a nice interface which allows you to choose which apps you want to go where. You can even choose where to put each apps' dalvik cache and user data seperately, e.g. you can move the apk and leave the rest in fast memory. This is top! Also, it has an option switch which causes all newly installed apps to go to SD (or not), handles updates transparently, allows even system apps to be moved to SD, etc. Seems rock-solid to me.

There are some wishes open for ext2SD: once you use external SD, your information on how much space is remaining, is just crap. Like this: the systems shows your fast memory unchanged at ~500MB, of which you may find 760MB used (!!) and 160MB available, while your ext4 partition has 1.7GB, so it all does not add up properly. I have no idea how much free storage I really have. Likewise, you will have no indication from Titanium Backup as to which app is where (ext2sd does show where things are, but I have found nothing about statistics so far.) But at least it works as it used to both for backup and restore. It would be nice if there was some sort of filter to display only those apps which have NOT been moved, and vice versa, and send this to TiBa; or ideally get a working interface between these outstanding apps.

Yes, bugs may exist. Something I found is that the internal functions of ext2sd, like to uninstall or reinstall apps, are not working (the app FCs). But as you can do this "outside" of the app, that's not too terrible.

From what I can tell, changes in speed of the device / apps moved or not moved is small. But I have 180 user plus 70 system apps running, which you could not do otherwise. (70? yes, I moved some apps to system space, and removed others completely)

I have great respect for the developers of CM10, they have done a fantastic job. JellyBean is running like a rabbit. I think ext2sd is also a superb solution, which in due time could be integrated into CM10. How about a little bribery for both sides? They could be motivated by a littel cash...

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

Forget it, it is not possible. You must partition with the microSD connected directly to PC. MiniTool or PartEd will do.

I have an AT&T Galaxy Tab i987 and have been running CM9 nightly. This morning I updated to CM10 and now it is showing only 468k of internal storage available for application and then it shows 12.9 gb available for storage. Can I reallocate space to the applications? I have never run into this limitation before.......any thoughts?

Thanks, but I don't see the option to partition under the advanced menu in clockwood mod in recovery mode. I am running 6.03 CWM-based v6.0.1.3. Is that the wrong version and if so, how or what should I change it to.

I see some earlier posts now, and I am still trying to sort my way through this. It looks like I have too current of a version of CWM and may have to figure out how to downgrade. Any recommendations on the steps to get to the right version or more guidance if I am right, would be appreciated.

CM10 No GPS and Icons can be dropped on the Google Now Bar

I was starting to get comfortable with the low internal memory storage for apps and some workarounds, but then I discovered that my GPS was not working and I could accidentally drop Apps on top of the Google bar at the top. The GPS is the main issue as the other can be controlled. Anybody else have this problem with the GPS before I go backwards to CM9?

Hello guys,

I wanna ask how to add NAV Bar in Phone-Tablet mode under 160 dpi

Plus how to magnify or enhance the static bar width and its words size under 160 dpi?

Also I figure out a bug that if I turn the screen on with 80% brightness, the battery drops extremely fast if I keep it on but very less when it is off.

My tab situation is 400MHz-1200MHz (Lagfree) and SIO governor.

The worst thing is even if I connect it to AC charger directly without any extending cable, the battery is still dropping (about -5% per hour)

During not connected to AC, the battery drop with 30%~46%.

(Under no any BT/WIFI/GPS is turned on)

for no sleep, unless you should run betterbatterystats (free for xda member, search in the android software section).

Run it for an hour or so and see what contributes the most to kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] _Derk_:
An hours is not really significant in my opinion.

You should run it and check after different amounts of time with different usage patterns. As for the deep sleep the non usage is most important you should observe this with different settings like wifi off, cell off, both off, both on.

I also found the app carat quite useful to find draining apps but this needs to be run as default and just gives good results after having used it for extended time.
