Im running this build and i want to put my apps on my sd card.

Im guessing this is the best way (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=512743) but i wasnt sure how to do it. in the instructions he says that the dudes build already does the steps in the tutorial, so what do i have to do to run it?
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
Yeah so basically you put those files on your sd card. Run the program. When you first run it you will see something like "your phone isn't partitioned correctly". And you will be asked to partition the drive. Just move the slider to the desired size you would like. Honestly you don't need that much. 300 megs or so. This is only used to hold apps and games. I know I wouldn't want 300+ apps on my phone.

You will be asked to reboot. After it comes back, run the program again and select move apps to sd. Might have to reboot again I don't remember.
[G1 Android Development] cronin4392:
what files? do i just need to DL the AppstoSD2.zip, or both of them? and do i just put it on there as a zip or do i unarchive it?

nevermind installed through adb
[G1 Android Development] cronin4392:
ok so i was following the instructions in appstosd:

"Next, after the reboot, I ran the apps2sd 2 app again and pressed "copy apps to sd" (let it do its thing)

Reboot.

Next I went back to the emulator and typed:

su

mkdir /system/sd/app-private

mkdir /system/sd/dalvik-cache

Reboot.

Go back to the apps2sd 2 app and hit move dalvik-cache.

Reboot for good measure and your done.

I did this in about 10 mins. Worked flawlessly."

but after i typed in:

mkdir /system/sd/app-private

mkdir /system/sd/dalvik-cache

and rebooted alot of my apps are no longer there, or named com.askdfjasklf.adsjfkdajsf.

one of the apps is appstosd which is no longer there. should i just reinstall it or what?
[G1 Android Development] bhilgeman:
Does anyone know how to reduce the size of the ext2 partition? When I let apps2sd create my partition for me I thought AI would download tons of apps but realized I really don't use that many... I made my ext2 partition around 1GB and would like to reduce it to about 250MB.

I have flashed 1.0 through 1.2b without wiping and with apps2sd 2 and have had zero issues with anything. I just would like more space on my fat32 partition.

If your answer to this is to move the data from the ext2 partition to my pc, repartition my sd card and reinstall my apps, I don't know how to access my ext2 partition as I only use windows.... (Do I need linux to see it?)
[G1 Android Development] cronin4392:
im not 100% sure, but what i would try is putting your sd card in to a sd card reader and then fire up paragon partition manager and changing the size through that.
[G1 Android Development] bhilgeman:
Thanks.. I just did that, worked like a charm....

Thanks, TheDUDEOFLIFE, cuz thats whos build i am using, and haykuro, and all whos blogs and builds made me make the move to the g1 and leave the iphone behind.
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
i just freshly installed the dudes 1.2b with a 4gb class 6 sd card which i had partitioned through the app2sd 2 app. Everything seemed to go smoothly until i tried to move the dalvik cache and now i have been at the g1 boot screen for about 5-8 min now. any suggestions?..ive searched but havent found any answers
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
For anyone having issues with not being able to answer the phone because of the lag from the phone I may have found a solution. I noticed that everytime my phone would seem to lock up that one of the things that popped up force close or wait was simple widget pack. So I uninstalled it and no more lag issues or not being able to answer the phone. Maybe it just worked for me, but it doesn't hurt to try it if those having similar issues have it installed
[G1 Android Development] kockroach:
I searched within here to see if anyone is having a Wi-Fi issue like mine. I couldn't find it, so I thought I would ask. When I turn on Wi-Fi, my G1 will not connect to my network until I actually open up the "Wi-Fi settings", before going to 1.2b, it wouldn't connect unless I selected my network and re-typed my password. This happens whether I use one of the Wi-Fi toggle widgets, or if I go into "Wireless Settings" and turn on Wi-Fi manually.

Anyone have this problem now, or previously? I don't want to assume it is a build issue, but I didn't have this problem when I was on JFs.

Other than that minor issue, everything is working great. Love the build Dude! I really appreciate the work you've done.
[G1 Android Development] newbie2006:
I turned mine off then powered off phone, then turned back on, re-enabled the wi-fi and it worked, thought it was just a hic-cup.

sig. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w9wy...layer_embedded - the reason I am here... G1 -1.5 and using various builds, I love it.
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
I experienced this awhile back for a day or two, then it fixed itself. This was way back on .94 though
[G1 Android Development] kockroach:
Unfortunately, that didn't work for mine.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
I would ask Marcus on the Apps to SD thread about that one.
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
I'm having problems...most likely noobish, already answered questions, but search has never worked well for me.

So, I switched over from the Hero rom after bouncing around for a while (ROM wise), and decided to go with TheDude for the best preformance for my phone. Much to my liking, everything looks good. I've wiped, and flashed everything, then flashed the Android+ Theme on top. Everything works fine.

Except for one small detail. I can't install any apps from the market. I understand TheDude is automatic APPS2SD, but I've never been/wanted to be on the APPS2SD train. Therefor, my 8gb Sandisk card is not partitioned. I have no way to partition it anyways on my Vista Basic computer.

I've never been able to get ADB working on my computer either, and unless I find some really easy way to do it, I'm not interested in it either.

Any help?
[G1 Android Development] Ellises:
Just to share my experience with using this new 1.2b ROM,

My previous setup was on JF 1.51, Latest HTC radio, Apps 2 SD symlinks, Original Hard-SPL version.

I wiped my phone, updated to TheDude's 1.2b ROM, checked to see if it worked, and then flashed that new Android PLUS theme since I didn't like the theme that came with 1.2b.

When TheDude's ROM loaded up, I was surprised to see it found my SD apps folder and I had access to all of it, I don't know if it symlinked it automatically but it seem to have did that. Even the apps shows up the market's My Downloads, which even more surprised me.

Now for the negative part like a lot of other people in this forum is having, is the downloads in the market is not working, or actually for me, half the time it doesn't, the market fails loading a lot of it's pages, some things download, some doesn't, giving me network connection issues a lot, seems like a radio issue.

Quite a few applications in the market's My Downloads reports having a new update available when that is not the case.

I tried uninstalling some of my already pre-installed applications (prior to using TheDude's ROM) and the uninstall never finishes using the market's my downloads screen, but they uninstall using the system's application management menu.

The internal space reports as 301MB, which is correct for the SD card's ext2 partition, this is exciting cause other roms I tried out never reported this correctly.

So besides the network issues, this ROM is very good and works for me. But as a note, I haven't tried making any phone calls yet or any other extensive tests.

@lukekirstein:

Well... if you don't want to repartition your SD and don't want to use ADB, that's your prerogative. Nobody's saying that you have to.
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
I have apps2SD but I had a similar issue, would get the message "insufficient storage available". I followed someones directions to do a factory reset from the phone, which unfortunately will wipe things clean. After that I didn't have any issues. To do that you go to settings > sd card & phone storage > factory data reset. I hope that helps you
[G1 Android Development] penerk11:
Help

Alright I am a relative Noob and I just flashed to Dude's 1.2b everything is fine, however, when I download apps from the market I keep getting the message INSTALLATION UNSUCCESSFUL. I am loosing my mind and connot find anything on this. Sorry if I am being redundant. Please forgive me. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] lukekirstein:
@inportb

The problem is, it's because of this that I'm not properally set up for TheDude's apparently...or I think that's the reason. Either way, I can't get the Market to install applications.
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
Seriously? The post right before yours says what I did when I had the same issue with the triangle in the notification tab that said that. It may not work, but it doesn't hurt to try if you have your info backed up or are willing to redo everything

I posted something you should try in response to your issue. A few people don't have apps2SD and they are working so it isn't an incompatibility issue, just some wierd issue that happens for some wierd reason. I had the same issue and I wrote it in my previous post in response to you about what you could try and maybe it would work
[G1 Android Development] penerk11:
Seriously? The post right before yours says what I did when I had the same issue with

I Tried the Factory reset and it did not work. Any other suggestions. I appreciated the help (LOL that post was not there when I started typing )
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
so far the best way around that is to

1. apply the 1.2b update

2. after the update is complete do a wipe

3. after wipe let fone start up normally and sign in and successfully download an app

4. turn off fone reflash 1.2b back again to get the little lost goodies.. dont wipe

everything should be fine i just did it 3times to make sure
[G1 Android Development] penerk11:
Trying it now...thank you for the quick reply.
[G1 Android Development] Ellises:
Now I'm experiencing some bugs, as noting before how thedude's build found my existing apps partition on my memory card and then the market displayed everything as installed that was before, now after returning to the market to uninstall an additional application, now all the applications in the market's my downloads is now appearing as not installed, and the system's manage applications menu is freezing and not responding until a decent while.
[G1 Android Development] penerk11:
IT WORKED!!!!! Thank you, Thank You...... My wife and kids also thank you as I have refused to do anything or talk to them until I figured this out. You saved me a great deal of mental distress. Thank you very much for your help.
[G1 Android Development] Nismo300zx:
no problem i know it had me going crazy since last nite so i know how u felt..glad everything worked out
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
That happens when you wipe and have apps2SD. I recommend atrackdog because that checks for updates of all your apps, and I don't feel like redownloading every single application just to show them installed. As for the manage applications menu freezing, I haven't experience that. Do you have a lot of applications installed?
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
Glad to hear that. I was like that on friday night/saturday morning. Refused to go to sleep until I had fixed it. It feels so good when you get it working, because then it makes it all worth it

battery life issues

Anyone having battery life issues with 1.2a or b? Seemed to experience battery life issues with both.
[G1 Android Development] Ellises:
Another issue now like other people is the out of space error when trying to install an application, "... could not be viewed. free up some space on your phone and try again."

I tried thedude's mentioned command:

busybox ln -s /system/intmem/system /system/sd/system

but it didn't fix space problems or the not installed status in the market
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
Is it possible to port over the HTC Magic's dialer to this?

I also was having trouble installing applications from the Market with this ROM.
[G1 Android Development] Ellises:
also this only matters on the application size, so the space is going some where. for an example, an app which won't install is 4.75mb, but an app that is 199kb will install without space errors.
[G1 Android Development] Ellises:
still having problems, I installed apps2sd2, and according to apps2sd2, my internal space is 20.0MB out of 78.0MB and SD space is currently at 259.0MB out of 454.0MB. Then when using "Copy dalvik-cache to SD" the internal space went up to 55.0MB

After doing this every application could not start up, like ASTRO and Market, which when started up crashes immediatly.

After restartinig the phone, applications are able to start without crashing again, and now the internal space is reported at 69.0MB.

After doing this, I am able to view larger packages when requesting to install them, but then I get the error "... could not be installed on this phone." so still even with more space, applications still fail to install, and this now includes any application of any size. looks like I'm going to have to start from fresh.

Will the new way of doing apps2sd mention in post 1052 using AUFS be implemented if it works on your build?

I can report stutter issues with the current implemetation as well.
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
So... it appears that Haykuro's new thread is exploding. However, I'm still here because I don't think my SD card is fast enough for such extensive a2sd :o

But yeah, the dude's builds are ftw; I'd rather hold off on rosie lol.
[G1 Android Development] BSDADON:
You knew that would happen. I stick to the dudes builds, I don't need a bricked phone, and even though my phone should be able to use the new SPL I refuse to do it since the dude doesn't require it yet. I hope he never requires it, but I doubt that will be the case.
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
The thread is exploding due to all the noobs asking stupid questions- where is the new spl? do i need the new spl? How do i apply spl? what is adb? etc. This is crazy. It's like the search button has been erased in the last couple of weeks- read all the stickies and learn first...

I concur! :D I am happy with the dude's rom- very fast -did the whole odex optimisation on all apps and they are quicker now (could be a placebo but they seem to load faster- esp. dxtop).

Plus Haykuro will not be supporting Hero as far as we know and without BT working and so many force closes i prefer a phone that runs really fast and consistently. I am happy with my currect GUI- via dxtop.
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
Yeah, these builds are great for stability. But I'm curious -- this is why there's nandroid ;p

And yeah, I have Haykuro's memory-enhanced SPL and am fortunate to have a working phone. By chance, I decided to flash the radio first :eek:

But -- the dude is already working on this stuff I bet.
[G1 Android Development] brbk4498:
great build lol. msn messenger is working yaaaaaaahh. enough me being weird thanks
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
Reporting live from justanothercrowd's single-image Hero build: it works pretty smoothly, as advertised, but the only thing is that you're left with ~10MB even when using Haykuro's enhanced-memory SPL. This means: without this SPL it is impossible to install the single-image build; otherwise yeh gotta use the os2sd version.

Hopefully TheDude'd be able to slim this down a bit... lol.

Anyway, I'm nandroiding back now...
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
The dude's g1 builds will exist as long as he has a g1.

If dude ever gets his own magic (sigh....) he'll make roms for both.

If haykuro is really done...the dude may continue his work on hero...using this unwatermarked rosie image.

The dude does want to maybe work on just porting rosie to his build for now...we'll see what this build he just loaded shows him.

The dude promises nothing.

The dude likes talking in 3rd person.

The dude wants you all to remember sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? Sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here - the Dude from Los Angeles. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude. The Dude, from Los Angeles. And even if he's a lazy man - and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in all of Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. Sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man. Well, I lost my train of thought here.

Ext 3

@ TheDudeofLife: You mentioned on Friday that the ext3 question was going to be your weekend project. How are you doing with that? I think Cyanogen may be on to something with that. What's your take on it?
[G1 Android Development] lazzy81:

[G1 Android Development] JazzMac251:
Did anyone ever figure out a way to lower the in-call volume? I saw the post about AudioManager for lowering the "audible selection" volume, i saw the post about using an overall lower volume mod, and i saw another person's post talking about lowering the master volume and compiling scripts to look at the issue, but i never saw a post that resolved this.

I like the louder volume mod for music and loudspeaker etc., but IMO the in-call volume was already too loud and i already kept it pinned to min. Now i can hardly put the phone to my ear.

On another note: i was talking to a friend via the headphones input the other night and i was annoyed by the fact that when she got excited or leaned too close to her mic, her voice was extremely loud, yet at normal volumes it was a little too quiet. Being a musician by trade, this gave me the idea of adding a compressor/limiter to keep the volume peaks averaged out. I don't know if it's possible, but i think that would be kinda cool. haha i dunno, just a thought!
[G1 Android Development] overground:
I know you mentioned it, but Audio manager lets you adjust virtually every volume on the phone. The new update lets you run it as an app instead of having to use it as a widget.

See here for EQ phone audio systemwide.

Follow link in Meltus' sig for more audio mods.
[G1 Android Development] dmm0816:
i have a couple questions, i've tried to read this whole forum and i did find some answers. i have jf1.5 us build right now and i'm interested in flashing to dudes rom cause i hear some many good things about it...

1. if i'm not trying to wipe do i use the lite version, and also i don't use apps2sd so is that something i need

2. are the market issues pretty much resolved or are people still running into it.

any help or suggestions i could get i'd appreciate it.
[G1 Android Development] kusotare:
I'm not sure if flashing the lite version without a wipe would work. I ALWAYS wipe before flashing a new rom unless specifically instructed otherwise (i.e no wipe required for flashing 1.2a-1.2b).

You can run any of the dude's roms without doing appstosd if you prefer keeping them on your internal memory.

the market issues appear to be limited to people running appstosd on their phones, so if you choose not to, you should be fine. my brother runs 1.2b with his apps on internal memory and has had no market issues.
[G1 Android Development] dmm0816:
good to hear...ill just wipe and go with the 1.2b, i really want that android plus theme too so i guess its a win win situation lol thanks man
[G1 Android Development] JazzMac251:
Thanks for the reply. I checked out AudioManager but unfortunately there is no option to lower the in-call volume lower than the default slider allows and none of the other sliders seem to have an effect.

I'm checking out meltus's mods to see if there are any options there.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
no

Its not just a2sd people with the issue. Its the wipe before flash.. if you find you have the insufficient space issue after wiping than flashin simply wipe again after you flash. You'll lose the HTC_IME.apk but that can be reinstalled

Edit;

I think its a few different issues with simular symptoms. Somehow related to a2sd. But you don't have to use it to suffer the side effects
[G1 Android Development] kockroach:
I was having the install issues even before setting up the Apps2SD when I wiped 1.1a and went to 1.2b. So the issue is not only for those running Apps2SD. It really does seem that the route to take is to NOT wipe when going from 1.1a to 1.2b.
[G1 Android Development] dmm0816:
yea i just went from jf1.5us to 1.2b and the market wasn't working, it would download but not install....all i did was a quick factory reset and it's working perfectly now

i do have a question is there a way to get myfaves on 1.2b?
[G1 Android Development] kockroach:
IIRC, there isn't a signed install package for MyFaves. But, you can still set up your Faves through your T-Mobile account on the web.
