[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirebral123:
Just curious, since there's been some activity with the cooking of ROMs, back before 2.1 there were people activating JIT in 2.01 builds. The major performance increases in 2.2 seem to be attributed to JIT, can it be enabled in a 2.1 ROM to realize similar returns before 2.2 builds are viable?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neotelos_com:
I's assume that would take major work, quite possibly more work than to just get Froyo working.

But then again, you do say it's been done...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
some people had it working with the moment didn't seem too hard for them but I don't know...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phinnaeus:
I feel like even if getting 2.2 working takes a bit more time, I would prefer devs to take that course because it brings with it more than just JIT. But I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk63:
JIT was working on most of the Hero 2.1 ROMS, however it crashed whenever Sense was used so you had to either remove sense or use another launcher.

So it should be possible to enable it on the EVO, but it might require /system access.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamousjax:
JIT can be enabled on Eclair... unfortunately, it doesn't really work that well, and can be unstable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
It's not the same as the one in2.2.I believe it's a third party 1 and as previously mentioned it is very unstable.Plus it does not work with sense so we would have to have to disable things to do that.But yes it is possible.
[EVO 4G General] rljetsetradio:
anyone know of a way to make this work? i wanna be able to watch the world cup games while im at work by my work only has wifi i cant get good 3g coverage where i am(under lead and concrete) so sprint tv doesnt work. any way around this so i could use wifi with sprint tv?
[EVO 4G General] Skippy38:
NO Sprint TV is not WIFI compatible. You must use it over your phone antenna. Sucks I know but hey the cool thing is I noticed my EVO 3G/EVDO connections seems much faster than my TP2.
[EVO 4G General] rljetsetradio:
epic disappointment. and to boot my dvr isnt working!
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Blame all the people who took the Sprint TV app and installed it on non Sprint phones for other carriers for this. Sprint used to allow TV over wifi.

Just got Complete Eclair v2.2.1 and downloaded a few apps from the market...

I have Apps2SD on...but why does my memory keep going down?

I have Advance Task Killer on and everytime I install new apps...my phone memory goes down....before it was at 39mb and now its at 24mb... I thought Apps2SD didnt use up phone memory?

Mytouch 32b

radio 2.22.23.02

hboot 1.33.0006

cpld 10

ROM: Complete Eclair v2.2.1
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] koreancanuck:
Do you have your sd card partitioned?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] luminiz:
Yes to the regular format of

LinuxSwap – 32MBs

Ext2 – 512Mbs

Fat32 – Remainder
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Use adb shell and enter 'mount'

This will make sure that you have an ext partition

Also using adb shell, enter 'df'

That should give us an idea of what is taking up all of your storage.

Keep in mind that the data for the apps are still being stored onto the device (under /data). Before you ask, it is not advisable to move /data to the ext partition. It's been done and determined not to be recommendable.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] luminiz:
After I typed in "df" in adb shell:

Is there a problem?

Magic 32B S-ON G

HBOOT - 1.33.0006

Radio - 2.22.16.261

Rom - Complete Eclair v2.2.1

Recovery - Amon Ra's 1.6.2G
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] luminiz:
Btw...One question

In SpareParts in my Complete Eclair v2.2.1 what the Comcache/Swap Setting and Compcache Size do? There's no option checked...so is that the source of the problem? Just wondering
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] raduque:
Compcache and swap don't have anything to do with application storage space. If you don't know what they are, don't enable them.

Edit:

Looking at your screenshot, Apps2sd is working correctly.

/dev/block/mtdblock5 is mounted to /data where your apps would go normally

/dev/block/nmcblkop2 is mounted to /sd-ext which is where space is being used.

If you notice, /data usage is at 2%, while /sd-ext is at 5%, so your apps look to be going there (21339 bytes used on /sd-ext)

Phone ram goes down because apps are using ram. Apps2sd doesn't have anything to do with how much ram a program uses.

1)Quit obsessing over free memory. Android will kill app processes when it needs ram. It's smarter than you.

2)Task Killers do more harm than good. There's a dozen articles scattered all over the web why, do a little research on it, then uninstall ATK and stop worrying.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] luminiz:
Wow. Very Informative Post! Thanks!

Sorry about me over-obsessing about phone memory...its just that I'm new to the Rooted-Android world and I'm used to seeing and expecting things differently when I had stock Android. I'm just trying to learn here like everybody else and everyone makes misjudgments on things sometimes. Any ways...Thanks for your post!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Yeah, you're nowhere near filling up the phone's memory. In fact you still have over 3mb of free space in /system to use by tossing in a bootanimation.zip file (for 2.1 roms only) or adding some custom ringtones (/system/media/audio/), whatever and you have only used about 20mb of your 500mb ext partition. If you do feel the need to clean it up, I would suggest using a cache clearing app to do so and nothing else.

Good luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] luminiz:
Sorry for the newbie questions but...

How do you toss in the bootanimation.zip file?

What do you mean I still have over 3mb of free space in system? I thought system memory was only used up by the ROM's

What else can I put in the /system ?

So when I have Advance Task Killer telling me I have 16mb of memory...its ok?

Thanks for your responses...They're greatly appreciated!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
I wouldn't worry about any of that. The bootanimation.zip is the animation that you see after starting your phone. An example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAFSEsEZnnE&feature=related

If you are running Firmware 2.2 (such as Cyanogen's 5.0.7 or 5.0.8) you can remove the existing bootanimation.zip file by:

adb remount

adb shell

rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip

and then adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media

Anyway... all of that is unrelated to your topic.

And your 16mb of memory is regarding RAM, not ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] raduque:
Nah, don't worry about it. I used to freak out about free memory all the time too, both on stock 1.6 and cyanogenmod 5.0.7, till I read some articles about how Android manages apps and processes and I realized it's not worth worrying about, because Android will kill what it has to when it needs ram for something.
[HTC Vox] brenmack:
Hey, guys I recently installed a new facia on my phone. I used the manual to install and disassemble it, but now my screen orientation is in the slide mode all the time. It is stuck in wide, so I am wondering if anyone knows how to fix this?

If not is there a program for a button to change the screen orientation?
[HTC Vox] tobbbie:
The screen rotation is done by a little magnet passing over a sensor when the device is closed. Possibly the new fascia is missing this magnet and you need to transplant it from the old one. I have no VOX at hand to check right now where it is located but I am sure it is a magnet.
[HTC Vox] brenmack:
HAHA.. Thanks I took it back apart and compared to the original and there was a tiny little magnet.. Awesome thanks alot.!:D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houzuoguo:
Hi everyone...

I'm going back to China for few days, as you know, China got a crazy internet censorship, I'm sure a lot of applications such as twitter/facebook/news/weather/google search won't work in China, so I used Orbot under Android 2.1 before, works very well.

I'm using Nexus one, and recently installed Froyo, and I got few problems when using Orbot.

When I install Orbot I got a problem that orbot wouldn't start, cause of "binaries are not installed", so I manually uncompressed the APK and put all files under /assets into /data/data/org.torproject.android folder in order to get orbot running.

It works~ But I'm still not able to change any settings, everytime I change settings, it freezes and I have to force stop it.

So I goto terminal, changed all files and folders ' permission under /data/data/org.torproject.android to 777.

But it still doesn't work, I still can't change any settings.

Actually I allowed it to run as root before, but in terminal I see these processes:

/data/data/org.torproject.android/tor -f /data/data/

/data/data/org.torproject.android

/data/data/org.torproject.android:remote

/data/data/org.torproject.android/privoxy /data/data

All of them are not running as root, they're running as "app_113"

I thought they must be run as root in order to transparently proxy all data.

I was using Orbot under Cyanogem 5.0.6/5.0.7 before, and didn't get this problem.

Did anyone get Orbot running under Froyo? Or Could anyone please suggest any solution to this problem?

Thanks a lot indeed!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakens6:
Hey guys,

Just stumbled upon the way to get Orbot working on Froyo.

It's not too tough, just go grab the new Firefox Mobile beta...

Once you've installed it, go to the add-ons menu and get "Proxy Mobile" from ProjectGuardian.org

Restart firefox mobile, connect to tor through orbot, run a check using firefox, and voila! It works!

These are good videos but I have to ask, not really being a huge android users.

For security reasons shouldn't people be changing the root password after doing this instead of leaving it blank?
[Droid Incredible General] hexto:
You make a great video and I thank you. Unfortunately I get to about 5min 18sec into it and it still says device not found in my command prompt. Guess I'm beat﻿ for now. Thank you any way. You really out did your self with such great instructions. Obviously this is above my head cause its just not working.

I got ADB to work on an HTC Vogue that I converted to Android from WinMo but still can't get this phone rooted. I don't know what it is that I am doing wrong.

Using an 8GB Sandisk Class 2 and a no name 2GB that's probably a class 2 also.
[Droid Incredible General] wpbear:
Great videos to teach me how to do it, but now I'm mad I cant get past device not found. So you actually made it worse for me since now I know what I am missing out on :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] invisiblek:
consider this thread deprecated, will keep the original post here for historic sake, and maybe it will help someone down the road

there are way easier ways to do this now

please do not try any of this

if you do decide to do anything on this thread, it is at your own risk

you have been warned

get:
[url]http://www.droidaftermarket.com/koush//test/inc.zip[/url]
[url]http://www.droidaftermarket.com/koush//test/keys[/url]

1. Boot to recovery with adb (if u dont know how...learn)
2. Run the unrEVOked method to get an adb shell, then do su to get # (if u dont know how...learn)
3. push the inc.zip to /sdcard/update.zip
4. push the keys file to /sdcard/keys
5. Do:

/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system
/system/bin/rm /res/keys
/system/bin/cat /sdcard/keys > /res/keys
/system/bin/ps recovery // note the pid of it
/system/bin/kill <pid>

6. Vol+ and Power to get menu again
7. Vol - then power to run the update.zip
8. Profit!

Big thanks to the unrEVOked team and koush for making this happen!

This method does not stick, it is only good until reboot, but adb works now so have fun

Some problems with accessing /data and some other stuf, but well get it sorted out
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ejlax:

You need to go through the rooting process again, since we can't flash recovery yet, for anyone that was wondering. At least up until the point where you inject the payload.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ihtfp69:
Has anyone managed to use the nanadroid backup option with this recovery? It seems to backup ok and I can see the backup on my sd card, but if you try and restore, it says:

Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 mismatch!

This even happens when doing an advanced restore and choosing the file. Here is what is in the Recovery.log file.

Checking MD5 sums...
md5sum: nandroid.md5: No such file or directory
MD5 mismatch!

Then it just quits. Can you fix it please?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MAD450r:
I can get adb to work just about everytime

I can even get recovery to update but still it wont stick no matter what I try. So needless to say anytime I want to try anything I must do the entire procedure over again :(

There has to be a better way or is this all caused but the nand protection many talk about. Sorry im kindof of newbie to this sort of problem.

All other phones I have rooted for friends usually take once you get it to work. Mytouch 3g fender, a bunch of Moto droids and one N1 so far, and of course my DI

I hope someone figures this out soon then we may start seeing some ROMS, I cant wait for a vanilla rom that I can dress up the way I want and not have all the bloat from SenceUI. Ony thing i'd like to keep would have been htc's weather widget and maybe freindstrean. If I can use it with Sweeter home preview 2. Im so happy with this last release of SH2 its rock solid on my incredible like its been on the moto droid the last 2 or 3 releases for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trunksta:
Thats basically the hurdle everyone is trying to jump right now. getting a valid nand backup that works, once that is done, custom recovery and roms will be flowing. Im also working on some messing around to try to help out, but on the same hand being careful not to brick since theres no way to restore at this time.

Will a 1700mAh or 2000mAh battery help my Android battery life.
[Touch CDMA Accessories] radar5:
of course it will. Anything larger will last longer, though I get similar run times between WinMo and Android running on SD. You may need to look into your settings if you're seeing significant differences in time between charges.
[Touch CDMA Accessories] piperthedj:
you may want to look into the newer kernel builds for android. when i was running winMO i was lucky to get 8 hours under light usage. with android and the newer kernels, i can easily get 18 hours under light usage, 12 hours normal and a good 4-6 hours heavy usage depending on what i do,

hope it helps

good luck

:eek: What were you running on? I easily got 3 days with light usage, 2 with medium, and 1 with heavy GPS, and other stuff...but I wasn't on a data plan, I just got one recently, but I had already made the full switch to android by then.

With android I get a good 12 hours of battery life fully charged...

[Touch CDMA Accessories] guppeh:
Battery life on the HTC Touch and many other phones is also heavily reduced by low signal strength and dead spots. Even when not actively talking or sending data, your phone will end up spending a lot more power when it checks in with the local towers. When I visit my parent's house (poor signal with 0-1 bars most parts of the house), battery life is cut in half or worse.
[Touch CDMA Accessories] markettips1:
Hello

1300mAh Standard Battery

Size (just the battery): 0.5cm or 0.2 in

Size (phone w. the battery): 1.1cm or 0.43 in

Weight (phone w. the battery): 4.5 ounces

In case your bad at math there are 10 mm in a cm. So it looks like 4 mm bigger. I did say honker, didn't I? The additional weight did not kill it for me. It just was pregnant.
[Touch CDMA Accessories] gedster314:
Android on the Touch is a pig. If you turn off Bluetooth it's not so bad. The last few builds of Warm Donut were giving me a couple of days on my Seidio 2000mAh battery. Incubus's release 12 of Froyo wasn't doing too bad on my phone. Battery life even with bluetooth on was getting me into the next day. Keep in mind if I stream over bluetooth 3-4 hours was my max, so it's still a pig. WinMo use to give up 6+ hours but that was when my Seido was fresh now its 2 years old.

Alas my Touch is now dead with a broken LCD and I have succumbed to an ok deal on a used Incredible. Time to hack on that for a while.

Samba Filesharing adds your sdcard as a removeable drive in "Computer"

Samba Filesharing

As said earlier: You should look for Samba Filesharing (i found it somewehere on XDA, but not in X10 subforums). It does exactly what you're asking.

I'm using it alot. When at home, i simply enable wifi, which triggers Sambafilesharing to be enabled as well. Then, from PC i have a mapped networkdrive to \\android\sdcard.

On X10 the user and password can be changed.

It takes the IP adres from Wifi, if you map a network drive, then you may want to use static ip.

[Edit]

fileExpert is the other way round. You can acces samba shares with your phone. But TS wants to access phone as a drive.

That's it. Real handy. Good luck!

Hi,

I'm about to update with a new custom ROM since the one I have didn't have A2SD+ and there's just not enough space (came with MoDaCo custom ROM without additions when I got it). But I can't find any guides on how to format my SD correctly with my MacBook, do you guys know any? And do I need to download Android SDK?

Also, how big is the difference between A2SD and A2SD+? I only have the 4GB SD that came in the box.

Thanks.
[Desire General] kimlindo:
Can I use ROM Manager to partition my SD card?

EDIT: Sorry mods, should've posted this in General, I guess. Please move. :)
[Desire General] dancedreamfly:
You can partition in recovery. I have a Mac too and that's the only way I did it.

The main difference between A2SD and the + variety is that Dalvik cache is also moved to the SD card when using A2SD+.
[Desire General] kimlindo:
Thanks! But everything on my SD card will be erased, right? Will I still be able to update the ROM after? Or should I update first?

Sorry, first time doing this. :P
[Desire General] dancedreamfly:
Backup all the contents of your card to your Mac first. Flash the ROM, then before booting up for the first time, partition your SD card. Boot up your phone and copy back the contents of your card to the FAT 32 partition. I used to set up my card like this: swap-0mb, ext2-512mb, fat32-remainder. Then convert ext2 to ext3.

Also remember to do a full wipe before flashing the ROM.
[Desire General] kimlindo:
Okay, I will try that! Thanks!
