lvm

"

Logical Volume Management makes use of the device-mapper feature of the Linux kernel to provide a system of partitions that is independent of the underlying disk's layout. With LVM you can abstract your storage space and have "virtual partitions" which makes it easier to extend and shrink partitions (subject to the filesystem you use allowing this) and add/remove partitions without worrying about whether you have enough contiguous space on a particular disk, without getting caught up in the problems of fdisking a disk that is in use (and wondering whether the kernel is using the old or new partition table) and without having to move other partition out of the way. This is strictly an ease-of-management issue: it does not provide any additional security. However, it sits nicely with the other two technologies we are using.

Advantages

LVM gives you more flexibility than just using normal hard drive partitions:

◾ Use any number of disks as one big disk.

◾ Have logical volumes stretched over several disks.

◾ Create small logical volumes and resize them "dynamically" as they get more filled.

◾ Resize logical volumes regardless of their order on disk. It does not depend on the position of the LV within VG, there is no need to ensure surrounding available space.

◾ Resize/create/delete logical and physical volumes online. Filesystems on them still need to be resized, but some support online resizing.

◾ Online/live migration of LV being used by services to different disks without having to restart services.

◾ Snapshots allow you to backup a frozen copy of the filesystem, while keeping service downtime to a minimum.

These can be very helpful in a server situation, desktop less so, but you must decide if the features are worth the abstraction.

Disadvantages

◾ Linux exclusive (almost). There is no official support in most other OS (FreeBSD, Windows..).

◾ Additional steps in setting up the system, more complicated.

◾ If you use the btrfs filesystem, its Subvolume feature will also give you the benefit of having a flexible layout. In that case, using the additional Abstraction layer of LVM may be unnecessary. "

lvm's are kindof tricky.

also an LVM partition doesn't even need to be located on hardware storage, it can be 1000000 miles away in a desktop outside of sicily

Are you rooted and have you modified your build prop in any way?

Make sure you always check about system > system update

Re-download the files to ensure the downloaded properly.
[Dell Venue] hellios1:
Have the same problem ;( Also i cant get root with sfleury method. I guess there is more than two Venue 8 versions....
[Dell Venue] lnesler1976:

System update show me that I am up-to-date.

I have downloaded files a few times.

[Dell Venue] johna2u:
I had the same results as Inesler. Downloaded both files, ran the updates, both aborted. Per his screen shot above I have the same software version. In a thread on dell official forum a factory rep asked what software version we had. Everybody that posted had the same software version. Hopefully somebody figures out a fix for this.
[Dell Venue] johna2u:
Dell rep posted again yesterday. They are working on a fix for this. He advised keep checking for updates.
[Dell Venue] johna2u:
4.3 update came through today for those of us that didn't already receive it.

Is there a way to hide the navigation keys without rooting in 4.3 in a reader app? I plan to buy a dell venue 8 for pdf reading. I'm concerned that the navigation keys will occupy previous screen areas.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Mikee4fun:
Ok well the new Jas Jar rom I could not find the voice command cab for the cyberon voice dialer. I used a cab that was posted on here for the BA's which works but you cannot dissconnect via the bluetooth button on the earpiece. So so far I can connect and launch microsoft voice command, but I cannot cancel the connection by just pressing the earpiece button like before. Now this is before you institute a call. I can hang up an a call but this is before that. Like when voice command goes blah blah and it cant understand you so it times out. Then you have to disconnect the bluetooth connection and try again. Any help here would be great.

Thanks,

Hi XDA :)

Last few days i bricked my Xperia T and because it is necessary to rescue my device from Limbo i downloaded the following firmware:

Build Number 7.0.A.1.303 CH

Now i want to download a suitable firmware for my device but i don't know which kind of firmware is suitable, for example there are some firmware called Branded and Non-Branded or some of them called Europe, Poland, etc.

Please help me to find out what are these? and which of them suitable? for my device.

I am from Iran, Asia - I mentioned maybe it's useful to make right choice.

Any idea what version number you were running before the brick?..I'm in Canada and I'm running 9.1.A.1.140. The Branded firmware just means the Service Provider it's branded too. Mine is branded to Rogers. Comes with the Rogers Bloatware apps etc. Who did you purchase your cell from?

You can also create your own ftf file with SEUS and just flash that. There's a link in the "All in One thread".

Yeah, I've seached about it and no results on google, I think nobody has seen it. Are you interested? Just try it yourself, Instead of saying "ok google", open google now, or say it on homescreen if you use GEL, "ok GLaDOS", it works! I think it's a reference to the game PORTAL. Just try it! Share the results at this topic! :laugh:

Don't wanna be a bubble buster but I believe this has already been mentioned. I think there is even a thread with a compiled list of all the references and easter eggs. On another note though I'm not so sure if this one is an intended command or not. I think it just thinks you are saying "okay, glass" which is a known command since Google Glass.
[Android General] kokero:
I think glass and GLaDOS sound pretty diferent, and no it is not mentioned on other topics. Search on Google, you will just find my topic from here and another mine from Android Central. But at Android Central a guy just mentioned another topic from another forum that somebody discovered it some days ago. I think that is an easter egg. It just works!

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Summersett:
I recently switched from AT&T (HTC Vivid) to Verizon (Droid Maxx). On AT&T, I would always leave my data turned off, but if someone sent a picture or group message it would kick on, download, and turn back off automatically. My droid doesn't do this though. Is that a Verizon thing, a droid thing, or just an APN issue? If it's just the APN could someone provide the proper one?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmoney:
It's a phone manufacturer thing.

I recommend using an app like Tasker to turn it on when you get an MMS.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Summersett:
Anyone make a good Tasker task they'd like to share? I tried to make a variable to tell if the data is turned on or off, and then a profile that waits for an MMS, then runs a task to turn data on if it wasn't already, wait for 45 seconds, and turn data back off if it was originally off... it's had mixed results so far. Sometimes MMS push through right away and sometimes I won't receive them for hours. This is the only thing I miss about my HTC phone on AT&T.
[Sony Smartwatch] espionage724:
I might be getting this watch soon, and just had a few questions:

1. Could it be used to grab notifications from a bluetooth-enabled computer instead of a phone?

2. Can the SW2 be used to control media played from a Chromecast?

3. Is there any custom ROMs available, or does the possibility exist to make one?

4. Can there be a large distance between the device and SW2 in order for them to stay connected? (a Wii and Wiimote in my house work fine 1 floor apart)

5. Does the SW2 have a built-in reminder system that doesn't rely on another device? (can I set it to remind me at a specific time of day reoccurring weekly to take out the trash?)
[Sony Smartwatch] Skajewski:
I can help you on a few of these questions...

1. Not sure

2. Yes. If your phone is hooked up to your chromecast via play music or Pandora etc. Your SmartWatch can control it.

3. I don't believe so.. Device isn't running android

4. Standard Bluetooth connectivity. Mine works well from any room in my house.

5. You can use the built in alarm app to do this

[General Questions and Answers] nadjib.b:
Hello everyone. I'm new here at XDA (long time reader)

I'm a developper (soft, web, mobile) and I have a specific request.

I got approched by a friend who works for a mobile phone carrier, and asked me if I can develop for them a custom Android market for the stock phones they sell to their customers (mainly chinese low cost Android smartphones and tablets) for local (country) developped apps.

It's a big project involving a server side (THE market) and a client side (the android app).

For the server side, I've got no problem since it's a standard, common thing.

Now I'm studying the feasability of the client (the app) and my vision is not clear...

- First, I will get the support of the manufacturer which is good.

*Now correct me if I'm wrong*

- I think the app will be a sys app

- The app should be signed with the ROM key (obtained from manufacturer) so it could install APKs bypassing Android secuity (not sure if it's enough though).

- The app will have Install_apk authorisation (among others).

- The app will call pm install package (so it'll display the package authorisations) .. not sure about this too.

- How about pakages updates ??

- Finally I'll send the app to the manufacturer to include it in the ROM.

Thank you for your help !

Hi All,

It seems that my SD Card has caused my O2 Exec to hang multiple times whenever I am trying to transfer files from my PC to the SD Card.

1.) Do any of you know a tool that I can use to fix my SD card i.e. a software that I can use to repair bad sectors and format the card as well.

2.) What is the recommended file format for the SD card?

3.) Do you think if I replace this with MMC I will not experience this problem.

Please help.

Pocket Mechanic is't for me the best tool for SD management. There is also a demo version, take a look at it

Regarging file system I think you have to experience different format type, it depends on the usage, the file inside and so on.

HI all,

I have found all my pictures made with my s4 converted in a lower format. What I mean is my pictures were f about 3MB and now they are all saved in a folder called thumbnails and the approximate size is 55 Kb.

About the videos , I had to search deep in the root of the phone and found my videos in an hidden folder ( .thumbnails/movie) with the extansion as .lvl.

The file is very small.

Why this happend? is there a way to recover my videos?

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pete450:
I just started using Tasker, and thought I would create a thread for us Verizon HTC One users to share profiles and such and help each other out.

So far, I have only setup a basic profile with Tasker to silence my phone(and set to vibrate) and turn data off. I leave the radio on in-case my wife needs to get a hold of me. This is based on the day of the week, and time of day, and location conditions. After the time period is over, or location changes, it automatically reverses these changes, taking the phone out of silent mode and turning data back on.

What do you use Tasker for? Share your profiles and tasks here.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vpxf:
I'll upload mine at a later time because I'm super busy atm(but not too busy to post apparently). But here is what mine does that you can look into for making your life a little easier.

Profiles --------------

Record Data State: Set a variable on/off when mobile data is enabled or disabled but only when the screen is on. Additionally only after the screen has been on for 2 seconds. This fixes some issues with phones that sleep mobile data thus making Tasker think you manually disabled mobile data. This profile is used in relation to the auto data on/off which I will get to later.

Apps - Enable GPS: A simple profile that turns on the gps for gps related things like maps, location based games. I increased the application check to 9999 for battery sake and also only run this profile while screen is on. When profile becomes disabled perform a delayed task of turning off the gps(I do 1 minute).

Screen Off Data Management: When you turn the screen off wait 2 minutes to turn off mobile data and 7 till wifi. This also enables a routine that enables mobile data briefly every hour.

Screen On: Re-enable data connections, see received text profile as well

Time from ~nighttime to early morning: Disable all volumes while leaving ringer low. Obvious reasons....

State> bluetooth connected (exit task only): Wait 1 minute, disable bluetooth if no device is connected. This is tied in to the next two profiles, it will auto disable your bluetooth 1 minute after you disconnect a bluetooth device.

Phone ringing enable bluetooth: turn on bluetooth if your phone is ringing...

phone call placed - enable bluetooth: see above....

phone idle - disable bluetooth: turn off bluetooth ONLY if a bluetooth device is not connected. the "state> bluetooth connected" exit task will automatically disable bluetooth briefly after it's no longer in use. This prevents bluetooth from automatically disabling on dropped calls.

on some devices you can use "Call Any*" to handle the previous 3 profiles.

Received Text: this seems broke in most scenarios but it was intended to set a variable of when the text was received and not enable mobile data when screen is turned on for x seconds. this would prevent pointless toggling of mobile data.

Those are all of my power saving profiles. As said before I'll upload the scripts later because man, they're a doozy to write to get them all to work together.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pete450:
Thanks for sharing some power saving ideas. I just added some more, still haven't had a whole lot of time to get into complex stuff...

Have a profile for location, time, and date to set my phone to vibrate if I am at work.

Added a simple one for a text to my wife if my battery is below 10 percent.

Loving this app already, looking forward to see what other folks have done.

EDIT:

Ok, so I added another profile for taking a photo and emailing to me if the lock screen is entered incorrectly after a certain number of times. However, I can not get this to work. I do not get any errors, but I don't actually receive the email message. Here is what I did, found in another thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40341626&postcount=734

Anyone have any thoughts?

EDIT 2:

I figured out part of the problem - it will not work with Python 3, you must use 2.x.x (I'm using 2.6.2 from https://code.google.com/p/python-fo...etail?name=PythonForAndroid-r7b1.apk&can=2&q=)

So now I am receiving the email message with GPS location, but no picture attachment, probably a typo on my part...

EDIT 3:

so, for the attachment path on the photo, I have tried the following with no success:

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vpxf:
Tasker is broke in quite a lot of areas. It seems to work better with custom ROMs but the stock HTC One ROM is just terrible. I think the developer of Tasker got lazy and stopped fixing things. Not meant as an insult to them, but I never see updates.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pete450:
I haven't had much time to mess with this the past few days, anyone have any insight on why I am not receiving the picture attachment in the email?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] PatimusXPrime:
I am just picking this app up so I really have little idea what I'm doing but so far i have:

- When display off - wait 10 minutes then turn off WiFi, Data, and Auto Sync (Poff)

- When display on - wait 2 seconds and turn WiFi, Data, and Auto Sync on (Pon)

- Periodic Data Check - From 7am to 11pm every 30 minutes while the display state is off, run task 'Pon', wait 3 minutes, then run task 'Poff' (Pperiodic) [Set to keep awake during this task]

- Run music - When headphones are plugged in, start my music app of choice (Headset)

These are VERY simple and VERY simply configured. I've seen some really crazy Tasks where it checks the network usage and if it's below 15 kbs.... Yeah that's too cray for me and honestly I don't care if Weather is updating when my screen is off.

I was inspired to do this because I switched from Sense to AOSP and now I don't have the PowerSaver functionality that Sense has. I feel this is a good (configurable) alternative.

Let me know if you want the specifics about these profiles and I'll gladly share them

ADD:

One thing I would like to do is change it so instead of "Screen off" it's something like "Sleeping" because if i'm listening to music and have the phone active i'd like data to be on. Is this something I'd have to set up with a custom variable? Have something like $SLEEP defined and have some logic that says IF *phone is awake* THEN SET $SLEEP to 0. Then just add the conditional in front of the 'Poff'? Sounds about right but what would the "*phone is awake*" be?
