Why is Clemsen's kernel included in the OP now? Do you ahve to use a specific version with Data2SD?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mistar Muffin:
I just wanted to note that I created a small, 7-8mb partition that is unformatted for partition1. I formatted the rest of my 64gb Sandisk class 10 card to ext4. Since our "/sdcard/" is really /data/media, I have almost the entire card available. It shows up as 64gb over MTP when I connect my tablet to the PC. The only advantage I see of a large FAT32 partition as p1 is if you need to read that data partition in Windows via a cardreader.

I don't think there is a technical reason we even have to have a p2 on the microSD card. With different kernel edits, we could just use p1 as ext4 and be done with it.

Is browser 2 ram still necessary with this mod? Just curious. Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jodvova:
I'm wondering how did the experiment with Extreme Pro card go ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] suzook:
Anyone???
[Asus Transformer TF700] fordwolden:
That is because this is a mod done to the kernel, if you flash his "regular" kernel it will mount to internal by default.

You're 100% correct, there is no technical reason for two partitions, but it is convinient for several reasons. One being nandroids, if you get data corruption to your ext4 patition you will have access to your fat32 partition in twrp. Also, as you stated, you can transfer files to your card in windows (I use Linux but most people still for some reason use windows :) . For me, switching roms alot, wiping everything, I think it's great to

have the fat32 partition for the movies and such, if I had that on my ext4 partition I would have to copy back and forth everytime I wiped.

I don't brows to much but I would think the difference with/without would be far less.

Working on it! :)

I ordered it yesterday so I wont have it in a week or so probably. Will report!
[Asus Transformer TF700] fordwolden:
The twrp zip in post 2 is NOT a flashable zip. Recoveries can't be flashed with recoveries. Don't know if you did,

but that's how it came out.

On your second question; You boot into twrp, connect to your pc, open a terminal on your pc, type adb shell, etc....
[Asus Transformer TF700] clownberg:
This mod is not working for me-I am using TWRP-I did factory reset, wipe dalvik,wipe cache,then installed cleanrom 2.3-I let it boot to initial setup, then I power down into recovery and flashed cleanrom23datasd kernel-system crashes after i reboot-I tried with clemsyndatasd kernel and the system crashes all the time.I partitioned my sandisk ultra 32 gb class 10 into 22.5 gb fat32 and 7 gb ext4-can someone help me ?

I got it working-you need to set ext4 partition active ? duh - storage now shows internal as 6.41 gb
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mistar Muffin:
Are you asking to have the /data partition moved to your 8gb external card for the performance boost, but still use the internal 32/64gb for /sdcard? If so this is easily possible. Confirm this is what you want and I will whip you up something. Send me a PM because sometimes a post can get missed.

That benchmark is only testing sequential read/write ,you should test random read/write if you want to check how much your Infinity's speed have improved,you can use Androbench for that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You should run androidbench to see your random read and write. Sequence read/write is not the issue with our I/O.
[Asus Transformer TF700] clownberg:
Androbench Results

Random Read 6.34 MB/s

Random Write 0.51 MB/s

All I know is Im glad I unlocked bootloader and installed cleanRom 2.3 with datasd mod-Seems like I have a new tablet

;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jaxboater:
Sorry wrong wording on my part, I ran the twrp zip from PC.

I have played around with the naked drivers, but have a problem with Window updating the driver after I reboot the PC. I could run 'fastboot devices' and get the tablet's ID, but not with running 'adb shell'.

I was unaware that a pc will connect with the tablet, when tablet is in twrp.

I'm giving it a rest for a day or two and will try again later.

Thanks for the help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Compared yours to our stock random read=4.8MB/s and randowm write= .17Mb/s and it's a good improvement over read and a great improvement over random writes. Nice!!

EDIT: How is your stock browser, is it acting normal like on your PC, or still acting stutter and double refresh etc..???
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mistar Muffin:
I get .75-.78MB/sec in Androbench using Data2SD. I am using a Sandisk 64gb Class 10 MicroSD. This is about 4x as fast as the internal storage.
[Asus Transformer TF700] crazyboyxx:
I have few questions about DATA2SD

1. After DATA2SD, I cant find the original I/O in stock file manager and even in windows

2. Can I wipe all the thing in the original I/O?

3. Is it necessary to follow your Post#2 if I use TWRP?, because TWRP recognizes my MicroSD as my external
[Asus Transformer TF700] fordwolden:
1. You will not be able to find it in stock file manager, you need a file manager with root access. I use ES file explorer and Root explorer.

2. Yes you can.

3. No it's not necessary, your TWRP will work just fine. The modded one is for the ability to do nandroids. Other than that it's the same thing!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Diogenes5:
Nevermind, resolved issue. Blob is on twrp website if you search hard enough.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mistar Muffin:
Guys,

I need some feedback from users of this mod. I am looking to extend and enhance the mod to make it more useful. I am looking to see how people use and want to use this mod in the future:

1) Once /data is moved to a microSD card, would you prefer /sdcard to point to the internal or external storage. As an example, I formatted my entire 64gb class 10 microSD card in ext4 and shows as 55gb total space when I hook it to my computer over USB. It essentially made my 32gb tab a 64gb one for ~$45. On the flipside, one user asked me for the opposite because he only had an 8gb class 10 card. He wanted /sdcard to point where it always had, the 32gb internal partition. It's tough making two versions of everything, so I'd like input on this.

2) How necessary for everyone is having the ext4 partition be partition #2 on the microSD, with a FAT32 or NTFS partition as partition #1? Like I said, I formatted my entire card in ext4 and I can use the tablet + usb cable to access the files. I like having the entire card available to the tab as /sdcard. I know Windows can't natively read ext4 if you use a cardreader, but how important is this to everyone?

3) There are some issues with the current implementation when it comes to accessing the internal data partition, including the internal /sdcard at /data/media. I've noticed that only root apps like Root Explorer can access the files. This makes it hard to use this space for media storage, etc. Also, the internal storage is not mounted over USB anymore. These were important to me, so I worked most of today on fixing them. I wanted to see if this was something others wanted before I worked on packaging up the fix and distributing it.

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
@ Mistar Muffin: I'm planning to use Data2SD soon so i would love to see your MOD implemented because i will use a 16gb card for Data2SD , so being able to still use the internal memory for media storage,etc it's a great addition imo.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mistar Muffin:
It's only CM10 right now, are many people still using CleanROM 2.3? Also, do you care about having your microSD being formatted in anything but ext4?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jarvik:
Personally, I'd like to simply format my entire microSD--64gb in my case, to ext4 and use the internal partition for backup storage (titanium, Nand backups, whatever. I'd like to see my microSD available using /sdcard0 and my internal partition using /sdcard1. This would be the ideal configuration for me anyway.

I personally use Linux and don't really connect my tab to my computer for file transfers--only adb. I prefer to use wifi file explorer to transfer files to and from my tab.
[Asus Transformer TF700] suzook:
Update....not necessary anymore!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mistar Muffin:
That is essentially my current setup, except that I mount the internal partition to /sdcardi.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cricketAC:
Sigh. Official ICS came out on 11th Oct. Its been 5 business days and counting and still no sign of kernel source anywhere. Why oh why, LG? Isn't the torture for the past year enough. Even Optimus black got their source the next business day.

Is there a slightest of slightest chance that the kernel source might never see the daylight?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] azyan:
I bet you they are doing this on purpose to screw over all the "non" korean 2x users. They are trying to force us to get a new phone!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SpaceRanger69:
They could care less about us. Lemmings will go out and buy more LG products... I don't care if the next Nexus is gonna have specs that rival high-performance gaming machines capable of playing Crysis at 120 FPS. If its made by LG, I'll pass...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mariachi202:
You won't find your happiness with othee brands, it's the same with every single one of them. Two of my friends have the galaxy s2 and the sony ericsson xperia ray, both of which received their ICS update almost 6 months ago, and both of them just got a notification to update just the other day. You've been waiting for 5 business days? Pfff, patience, yound Skywalker...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] monkor:
Screw LG.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xtian_sp:
Hope they release the update soon
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
So, Galaxy s2 and Sony Ericsson Experia Ray got ICS update 6 months ago, and they just got an update notifaction the other day. That's more than the Canadian Optimus 2X (which is a clone of the G2X) which never got an Android OS update from Froyo and, according to LG, never will. I'd say that puts the last nail in LG's coffin in Canada as far as owners of that LG phone, including me, are concerned. U.S. owners of the G2X will probably never see another update for their phone from Gingerbread either. Owners of the Optimus 2X, other than those who own the Korean SU660 version which just got it's ICS update, are still waiting for ICS and, if it does become available, may only be available in some markets. LG is also stalling on providing the source code for the Korean SU660 version of ICS. Consequently, I think we've been much too patient.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tnq13:
Please explain me a thing: if there's already drivers for everything work in the ICS, why do we still having problems with 3D acceleration?

Okay, there is no official ROM, but CM9, CM10 is so well developed that, in my mind, is not such a big deal to get the drivers from SU660 and cook a new ROM, or am I wrong?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Without the source code showing the "hooks" into the driver(s), it would take an extreme amount of talent and work to reverse engineer the code which virtually no one is willing to expend on a phone which is, in tech time, ancient history.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Aricrj:
You guys are acting like a bunch of babies. The kernel sources are coming and we all know it but complaining won't expedite the process. How about exercising a little patience? Who cares if they don't work on our schedule? Even if it takes a month, that's fine with me. At least we will get it...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] matrix0886:
Yeah, but if it's a Nexus phone, then that means Google would be in charge of the updating process, correct? If so, then why hate on their next phone if they won't even have control over the updates?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SpaceRanger69:
Why hate? I'm of the belief that I'm not going to "reward" a company for bad business practices. That's why!

So now I'm impatient and a "cry baby" for having a harsh opinion of a hardware company?? Wow... Just... wow.... :eek:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] SpaceRanger69:
My anger is directed at the LG corporation. There's no anger towards other members having their opinions and feelings. The members that frequent these forums (majority of them at least) are here because they care about the product they currently have, or just flat out like to help. My anger at LG isn't going to make me stop helping whenever I can, with whatever I can. If you're in this forum, more than likely you're a G2X/O2X owner. We're here for each other to lend a helping hand.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cricketAC:
Guys, Guys, Guys.

The intention for this thread wasn't to start a flame war or so on. This is the "so near yet so far" syndrome, atleast for me.

It was/is killing me inside that we are just one hurdle away from getting a stable ICS/JB ,which all of us who have this device are dreaming about for an year, and yet again the kernel source isn't out even thou for a phone from the same company it was out the next day. I hate it to be a deja vu. Waiting another year for the kernel source. lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justjackyl:
I still stand by the I really could care less. My experiences with ICS devices (came with it) has been negative to the point quickly jump to CM10.

ICS is really buggy compared to Jelly Bean.

Now i would get excited to see a full functional JB ROM on my G2x, if it never happens will i be upset? Nah...GB runs smoother and faster than any ICS device Ive played with, and there are not any functions on this phone that i couldn't use without ICS,so GB is fine with me.

Get ready to lose a bunch of RAM just for ICS visuals...pfft..Im good with that.

Wait... did you say GB runs smoother than ICS? You do realize that ICS doesn't lose ram to visuals right? It uses hardware acceleration which isn't supported under GB.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bulletblitz27:
Regardless of the suppose improvements of ICS I still think GB is better
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
Why does everyone, well, not everyone, think LG owes them an update? I bought my first G2x a year and a half ago with froyo. Coming from a Metro PCS Huawei ascend, my G2x was a gift from the Gods (did I mention it was free?) Nobody promised me an update, nor did I expect one. Since then, I've received 2 updates, which I don't care what anyone says, 2.3.4 was excellent and still is. So, almost 2 years out, LG was still taking care of me. Most people that know a thing or two about hardware, will agree, LG is right up there, if not tops when it comes to build quality. Samsung phones feel like the cheap plastic that GM makes their interiors out of and HTC comes with too many rules to compete. Let's not even get started on Motorola. By the way, I'm an auto collision tech, I work in one of the worst atmospheres in any industry, with my trusty, almost 2 year old G2x in my grimy pocket. It still works perfectly and anyone that tries it is jealous their phone isn't a fraction of the joy to hold and use as mine. Soooooo, my roof on my 8 year old house is started to fail, should I bash Suarez homes because they won't release the update on my roof? That's how ridiculous all this whining about LG sounds. The world isn't fair, not everything is roses and for sure, nothing is for free. So please, stop the whining, nobody cares, let alone even listening.

mustangtim49@Xda-developers.com
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justjackyl:
Lol

When ICS is running, offical mind u, on a device with similar RAM, how come on near identical setups, my GB phone has more free than the ICS phone? ICS runs better on devices with more RAM. wonder why...its just MORE over GB all the way around.

Besides ethis isn't a thread to debate this subject and all i was stating is ifwe get it I'm still not eager to jump on it as i am dissatisfied with devices already officially running it.

JB? Lil different story, not much.

GB fits my phone fine.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mariachi202:
You're actually describing nothing out of the normal ways of operation of a mobile manufacturer. The original Galaxy s, which I owned, was released in 2009, and still is a pretty capable device: 1ghz cpu, powervr graphics, 512 ram, and it was dropped out by Samsung for the ICS update, so it stalled on GB. Thankfully, it remained a pretty popular device amond developers and rom development is still thriving.

Phones are gonna be forgotten, and stock development is always going to be a chaotic nightmare on android. Changing a company will not provide you with better update support.

Even the Nexus phones are fragmented. There are Galaxy Nexuses that are under support from google, which is great, and then there are some other, codenamed "yakjyuxv" Galaxy Nexus models that are under Samsung, which means waiting up to 2 months, in some cases even longer for an official update. You see the irony of owning a nexus device and getting an update a hell of a lot later than you actually should?

Why does everyone keep saying this?? Free ram is wasted ram!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikey199:
But it just disappeared. I understand how ram works. I rather use it then sit their unused, but the system actually reports less ram now then with gingerbread. Ics does use a little more ram but its for a purpose. Just don't understand where those 40 odd something megs went. App storage i'm guessing?

Yes, this is true. But when more RAM is eaten up for the system that's less RAM for your apps. Thus swap/pagefile, which is slower, is used. Thus starting a chain reaction of lag and unresponsiveness.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] timmyjoe42:
I don't think LG owes anyone an update, unless the phone was specifically marketed as the new Android version "coming soon." Realistically, I think it is in LG's best interest to provide customer support and updates to their product line. Failure to do so leaves a bad image for consumers.

Motorola has been notoriously slow in releasing updates on outdated hardware and I think it has negatively impacted their sales. I can partially blame the custom UI's and in house developers being handed Android source code and having to "make it work" on the existing hardware as having quite a learning curve of trial and error.

Samsung continues to release top of the line hardware with the current Android version on it and their sales are doing quite well. (And I don't like Samsung for other reasons, so that is why I choose not to buy their products.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DJChameleon:
In fact, the G2X was marketed as having a Gingerbread update arriving within weeks of release. It ended up taking many months. There have been many off and on promises of ICS for the G2X. Since it was released long after Gingerbread was released and ICS was released while the G2X was still being sold in T-Mobile stores and it was marketed as a halo/hero device it is more than reasonable for people buying the phone to expect an ICS update in a timely manner. One reason many people choose iPhones is because they hear about update promises not being kept on hero devices and this makes them believe her only way to be sure of getting an update is a Nexus or an iPhone. I always run custom ROMs and believed that since the G2X shipped with nearly Vanilla android and Mr. Cyanogen himself announced he was buying a G2X and would support it for the CyanogenMod team. I was naively unaware of how critical the lack of open source drivers for Tegra II based devices would be for ROM development. I will forever now only buy Nexus devices or branded devices that are 100% open source and borrower unlocked.
