[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aselker:
I own a rooted Samsung Vibrant running cm7, overclocked to 1.3ghz, with cwm recovery. My external SD was full to a byte and my internal had about 100mb free, so I decided to move all my apps on SD to internal. I used an app called App2SD that, among other things, lets you batch move apps. I selected everything on the SD and started a batch move. Like normal, it had to bring up the settings page for each individual app -- annoying, but necessary for the app to work on nonrooted phones. After repeatedly hitting "move to phone" -- back -- "move to phone" -- back -- "move to phone" etc. After almost freezing, and a few metric tons of lag, I finally finished. However, the phone immediately started acting weird. Apps would crash, even after reinstall. This included built in apps like "messaging." It also had the "low memory" alert on, even though the only memory that had gone down was the internal, and it still had >1gb free. (The notification might have actually appeared before, not sure.) Today, after getting into a bit of a jam because I couldn't text, I rebooted the phone. It stopped at the boot animation. I happen to have Live Dmesg, by Chainfire, which replaces the animation with the BIOS output at startup, so I could see that it was getting stuck in a loop after the normal PHONE_ACTIVE=1 message that is the last one I can read (it stops for a few seconds after that, the rest moves way too fast, and the phone boots less than a second later). I have tried rebooting several times, booting to recovery, rebooting, removing battery, etc. Nothing worked. I could probably get it working, as I can access CWM without much trouble, but that would require losing all my data. Yes, I use Titanium, and USB debugging is on, but it would still be a lot of trouble, and I would lose a significant amount of app data.

Any help would be welcome, thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
I suppose, in CWM you could mount your internal SD, and backup all of your data and such. Maybe try to move things around manually, and get it to a working state again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aselker:
When you say to back up the internal memory, do you mean for safety, or to then reset to stock cm7, or what? I don't see how simply backing it up could help.

I don't think I could just move things around, unless I can get a hint from the output from live dmesg. I don't even know where the problem is -- are there any app2sd-able apps that are necessary for system stability?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
Well, I guess I assumed you may have an idea of some of the offending apps that may have caused the problem by moving them. If you mounted, could have manually tried to move or remove them and maybe your phone wouldnt be borked anymore.

Probably would be easier to Odin to stock and start over.. move things over a bit slower and possibly one at a time so you can catch any errors or problems with the transfer.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aselker:
I don't think I would even have to Odin, I can easily access CWM and reflash cm7 from there, right?

Also, I don't think the problem would happen again, I have done the same several times and I think it was due to the extreme lag and freezes that something got mis-moved.

I will examine the bios output, and if that doesn't give me any new info, revert to stock cm7 with cwm. Or with Odin through AIO if that doesn't work.

EDIT:

CWM'd back to a May backup. Old, but better than stock CM. Boots fine. Will try transferring apps a bit more calmly.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast6977:
Just preferential to me, I rarely do it, so when I need to start fresh I just go that route.

Glad you got sorted out.

[Galaxy Note II General] iLiberate:
Has anyone found any evidence that there will actually be a 32gb or 64gb at launch? No one seems to be selling pre-orders for them... I really don't want another 16GB phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] shook187:
Who cares as long as it has a SD card slot.
[Galaxy Note II General] iLiberate:
I have 60GB of music that fills my microsd and I like to take a lot of video with my phone. I thought I'd be fine when I got my One X by putting all my music in google music but it sucks when I have a bad connection/no signal =/

Looking forward to 128GB MicroSDs thoughs
[Galaxy Note II General] KB112:
I'll be fine with a 16gb model. I understand people may desire more space, just not necessary for me though. A simple addition of my current 16gb card will be a perfect combo. I don't even have that much space used between my Flyer and it's SD card.
[Galaxy Note II General] Zanr Zij:
Do not think about 64GB. Cause of biz ( quantity + price ), Samsung will do not sell 64GB version at launch :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Hotobu:
He does. Unless you're going to help pay for it no one cares about your opinion on how much storage space someone's phone will have.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tidbits:
I will wait for the 64GB model. If one doesn't come to the US I will not get this phone. I will wait for something else.
[Galaxy Note II General] cabessius:
For me, 16 gb model is enough though I understand that different people may have different needs. My music collection is even bigger than 60 gb but I don't need it all together at the same time in a phone. And I think it is economically more convenient to have several sd cards to swap (it is a Samsung, not an iphone nor a Htc) than to pay the excessive overprice for a 64 gb model.

[Galaxy Note II General] brokenartist:
I guess in a sense a lot of people would love to see a US version come out in a 32gb version. As for a 64gb version? Highly doubtful. Sure 16 gigs is enough for internal. But being able to swap out different cards when need be. Plus do you really need all 60 gigs worth of music on 1 phone? I get the whole variety thing but take what you want and possibly use Google Music if you are at work or on wifi. But I guess everyone wants what they want.
[Galaxy Note II General] Eric-1987:
Where do you live with no signal? My 1mbps connection has no problem playing from Google music so I doubt it's an issue.
[Galaxy Note II General] Hotobu:
Say what you will about Apple, but at least they can pull off a unified launch.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tidbits:
You have to consider not everyone has an unlimited data plan, and not everyone will get reception with the carriers that do. Some carriers throttle after a certain amount as well.

Personally I will load a lot of my daughters movies, and TV shows. A lot of places where I travel are almost bunker like and reception in general is bad inside the buildings. So more space the merrier for myself and my daughter.
[Galaxy Note II General] Moonbloom:
Because they release 1 new phone every year, so they put everything on that 1 single phone.

[Galaxy Note II General] Hotobu:
So what? This is the problem with Android fans who just want to give negative kneejerk reactions to everything Apple like the sheep they claim Apple fanboys to be. As a consumer I don't care what the circumstances are. I want the product I want. Also I'd at least expect a unified launch of their flagship device, but nope.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tidbits:
The Galaxy Note 2 is one device. They have time to produce it. There is no difference between all the models. They can do a unified launch, but opted not to.
[Galaxy Note II General] voxano:
Back to the original question... any reference for 32/64Gb models in any country? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II General] Lucidmike:
I reserved my Note 2. Estimated delivery, Friday! During reservation, I told him that I really wanted a 64GB white one, but would settle for 32GB if it came down to it. He said don't count out 64GB just yet, it may be delivered that day.

We'll just have to wait and see. I am in Korea.

[Galaxy Note II General] Hotobu:
Yeah well if they don't have a larger size in Korea then there wont be one anywhere. Everything I've seen from every outlet only lists 16GB. The only solace that the US can take in a late launch is that MAYBE there will be larger versions available by then, but I doubt it. This is upsetting to me. I don't want to have to "settle" for the GS3, but I don't want to wait until March for a 64GB version.

Will you please outline the steps you are taking to try and odin back to stock? That usually helps you track down missed steps in your process.

If you are trying to flash back to stock because of warranty issues, then you are eating your time up with things that do not matter to att. Your warranty is NOT void! ;)

However, if you are flashing back to stock because you want the stock experience then you should try Sean z's at&t official sky ics. It might be easier than messing with odin.

[Windows 8 General] buddy17:
I've been enjoying Androids customization with flashing and modding for a couple years now, but WP8 has REALLY caught my attention with the amazing hardware and merge with desktops/tablets. But I still can't leave well enough alone, and know I will get the mod bug with a WP8 phone. With that in mind, which new flagship (920, 8X, Ativ S) will have the big development?

It seems like the 920 is the most anticipated, but could be limited by carrier choices. With WP7, it seems like the HTC's have the best dev support. What do you all think?

And as a more general question, what types of noteworthy things are people doing with development/roms on WP7? Is it anything like ROM dev's for Android?
[Windows 8 General] daAppu:
First, wrong forum. Correct forum would be Windows Phone 8 and not Windows 8.

Second, unlike Android, there's no such a thing like "best developer support" in Windows Phone. Apps work on every phone exactly alike.

Third, compared to Android, WP modding/flashing is really pointless. People do it only to bring more features and to get exclusive Nokia apps. Please consider again. Coming from Android world, you would not like WP. It's as closed as iOS and perhaps even more.
[Windows 8 General] buddy17:
Sorry about that...i actually realized i posted in the wrong forum once I backed out, and meant to post in here saying to have a mod close/move it. I joined another thread basically asking the same thing in that forum

Thanks for the rundown. To be honest, I'm actually growing tired of the flashing. Nothing against dev's, but the recent One X/GS3 dev seems to be fairly slow, and mostly consisting of CM10 or porting roms from other devices. It's nice, but nothing revolutionary. I've actually found that with my One X and GS3, i've been more tempted to find a stable rom and stick to it.

Thats why i'm considering WP8. It seems like a very reliable alternative to iOS, yet still some customization/uniqueness to keep things interesting. If what you say is true about development kind of pointless on WP, i will definitely be going with the Nokia.
[Windows 8 General] shadehh:
as a current owner of the one x i'm currently on the same boat. When flashing custom rom i'm looking for something rather stable. Drift away to jelly bean roms and your battery is depleted in less than 2 hours. I will probably be selling my one x on time to buy the lumia 920. If i end up disappointed, well, i'll have to live with it :)

If you really want it iOS like, MIUI would be the way to go. It's a pretty good ROM, I used it all the time on my SGS1 and SGS2; but I have no interest in it now, but it's definitely a good ROM. I'd check your device specific development threads for a MIUI ROM, and see what other users like (if there's more than one MIUI for your device).

Boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and fix permissions. If that doesn't help, download BetterBatteryStats and see if apps are causing kernel wakelocks (not letting your phone go into deep sleep) meaning keeping it awake and using CPU.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Einride:
Of course Browser2RAM will help on this, you're caching to just RAM instead of the stupidly slow NAND memory Asus decided to put in their flagship device. Try the same "test" on complete stock and you'll see that it's a vastly different experience.

Zeus ROM works around the I/O issue by reducing or even eliminating SQLite fsyncs. Risky business for your data, good for performance. I like my data without corruption, so I'll pass, but others may not see it that way. They simply want the performance this tablet should have had in the first place.

Asus did reduce the overall sluggishness slightly with the .26 update that changed from NOOP scheduler to CFQ in the kernel, but the tablet still stutters. Browsing is far from smooth, even with alternative browsers like Dolphin HD. Performance is decent right after a reboot, but once memory fills up and Android starts its memory management and closing down processes (doing a lot of fsyncs in the process) it grinds to a halt. This wouldn't be a problem if flash I/O performance was higher.

The CM-based ROMs starting to pop up for the TF700 seems to help on the performance as well, and that's still with the 2.6.39.4-based kernel. CM's always been smoother than pretty much any stock device in my experience though, so no surprise there. They can never completely get rid of it though, since it's a hardware issue. Asus were stupid and chose cheap, slow NAND that gets totally crippled if you're doing random writes. There's no magic software to just fix it.

I'm sorry, but I don't really see anything new here, and your "evidence" isn't really that, simply because you're not running stock. You're using Browser2RAM which greatly increases browsing performance by using RAM, which is several magnitudes faster than NAND flash. It's not even comparable. The TF700 (and TF201 and TF300 and TF101) I/O issue can never be completely fixed in software, only (slightly) improved, often at the cost of data safety (disable SQLite fsyncs or available RAM (Browser2RAM).

It's all well-known by now that Asus ****ed up (again!). If it weren't for the oh-so-sweet high resolution display and keyboard dock I'd get a different tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
Hi Einride,

Sorry if I directed you wrong way. But my point here is not to prove stock has already fixed issue or not even to say IO issue can be completely fixed. The latter is simply unknown. But I am just proving here that there are ways software can make difference in user front, which some people questions.

To be honest, how do you even know RAM is not bottle neck? What about GPU, which is far inferior to the new Ipad in fact its even worth than iPad 2 by far margin? We see a number, and see its less than others so concluded its the conundrum, which could be true by good chance but not a proof.

Here I am basically proved whatever the method is, there is a way to improve what people call IO issue can be alleviated by software approach.

Because Anandtech showed IO issue originally on infinity stating background 2MBps download resulted in marked degradation in browser performance. I basically had 1GB file transfer over WIFI using Airdroid.

So I basically proved here that my infinity, which clearly has not touched anything on hardwarewise, but have improved performance since Anandtech review.

As for Zeus fsync, I don't use Zeus so cannot speak for it. But if they turn off fsync and still keep the system stable without data loss, why would you care?

Having said all this, I don't know if ASUS will ever put effort in fixing issue because if they would why won't they simply install browser2ram as part of their firmware? But they are doing something as I noticed they took out pixit from background with latest firmware, which kept running in background for no reason..
[Asus Transformer TF700] zenaxe:
Einride is on target. This is a hardware issue, so any "fix" is going to be a kludge and come with a bunch of compromise. I can't believe ASUS specced the same crazy slow flash on the 700 that they did the 201/300. :eek:

FWIW, The best/cleverest hack I have seen is the TF201 dev who has been playing with remounting the internal SD card to point at the removable microSD card. If this can be made to work smoothly, it means that if you have an external card that is specced much higher than the stock internal flash you could eliminate the issue completely.

But of course that is really hacky. It's one of those you could brick if you don't install it right kind of deals so I don't ever see it being a mainstream options for these tabs unless ASUS productized it which would be a big expense in support for them, so, again, it'll never happen.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tf201:
I've got to push back a bit. I think this is firmware related, but not of the device of individual components. I think this can be fixed with "software"
[Asus Transformer TF700] zenaxe:
You can continue thinking that if it makes you feel better. I like and enjoy my Infinity but as a digital design engineer, to me this seems to clearly be a design issue @ the hardware level and will always limit the overall system to some degree. There are hard limits in any hardware software system. <Shrug>

My best advice to an end user is what I would give for any device issue: to decide whether it is a deal breaker for you *as it stands right now* and not sit around and wait for or bank on some kludgy cure that may be worse than the disease.

It's not too bad for me, I don't do tons of random I/O or web browsing. In fact, I'd say it would have taken me a long time to notice this on my own without the benchmarking and threads here... If it was unacceptable I would cut my losses and sell the tab and get a different device. Life is short, guys.
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
Well, again (and I now added to opening post) my point is not denying IO hardware issue existence. I am just simply providing proof here that it can be improved by software (to certain degree). Whether it is to the extent of users complete satisfaction would be different issue. However, to be honest, if you see my video and it was original retail packaged Infinity fully on stock and from the day 1 performance, don't you think less people would raise a voice? It's because software workaround can change what you see as user, and that's all I am proving here. So yes. this should give a hope to someone who thought, it's hardware related so never can be fixed. However, this does not confirm or deny ASUS to take a step and fix this because I am sure it will take some effort on their part, which clearly they have not spent so far if this had been a problem existed since TF201.

To put into extreme, they can modify OS such that all front end basic programs such as stock browser, movie player or whatever to actually run on RAM if that is what makes the difference. But would they do it? Absolute not, because they won't spend money on such big project for device that had already sold well and gained essentially best Android tablet metacritic reviews (I did not take actual poll but just following Infinity news daily, it seems like pretty much most site gives the highest score for android tablet).

So yup. I don't disagree with you guys that IO issue there. But my point here was to help people clarify that there are indeed ways to make better by software. Whether happens or not is out of my control and would simply be guess for anyone.
