A2SD is a bit hard to tell if it's working or not just from the basic storage info. Only TB shows the status of the ext partition in an easy to read means. Only other way is to look through the output of the A2SD script in terminal when you run A2SD Check. Also the phone memory may still report having less than what you thought you should have because of the dalvik-cache uses it as well. Unless you moved that as well, which it looks like you did, it'll go up and down a bit. May also account for the base root files--like the system itself that can't be on the ext partition as the phone has to boot from something internal and load the drivers for the SD at some point.

Also, with A2SD, you should never ever have to go into apps settings and hit the move to SD option. A2SD automatically gets used when you install an app--that's the beauty of it. If you do use the move to SD option, it's just going to move it to your Fat32 partition and bypass the ext altogether. So you may want to run through your list of apps and move any that are back to the phone.

In short, looks like you got it working if only 62mb is actually used.
[Nexus One Android Development] spx2000:
This rom is working great. Love the speed and stability. The a2sd support is nice, wish ext4 was supported
[Nexus One Android Development] vegetaleb:
Can we downgrade from EXt4 to Ext3 without format again the SDHC?
[Nexus One Android Development] spx2000:
you can format ext4 to ext3 using gparted so you don't have to reformat the whole damn card.
[Nexus One Android Development] GrossmeisterB:
So, can I use this with wildmonk's kernel???
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
I've used ext4 in the past. Well I haven't used it with gingerbread but I did with froyo and never had a problem. I would imagine it would work for both.

I haven't used his kernels in a while but if its gingerbread compatible it shoals be fine.

This ROM has apps2sd integrated?
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
no it doesn't. I thought people like to choose if they wanted to use it or not or which version to choose. Does everyone want A2SD?
[Nexus One Android Development] Know-Fear:
If you add it, someone will complain. Having the option is better IMO.

Yes Please add A2SD

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] sg1dan:
please do not add the a2sd. it should be an option. thank you for the great rom.
[Nexus One Android Development] mindfrost82:
You can try but it didn't work for me. It booted fine but I couldn't use the camera at all, I would just get a black screen.

Unfortunately most of the custom kernels seem to be based on CM and don't really work with a ROM based on stock Gingerbread.
[Nexus One Android Development] mattpannella:
i've never flashed a rom without wiping first(easier to just start from scratch and not worry about problems), but can i just flash your v2 if i'm already running v1? will it mess up my a2sd or anything?
[Nexus One Android Development] dihy:
Flash V2, wipe dalvik, and you should be good to go.
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
He also needs to reflash his a2sd since he stated he uses it.
[Nexus One Android Development] Iperzampem0:
I'm ready to try your ROM, but how about Trackball Wake support? :)
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
I don't really use it, but it seems that 80% of the questions about your ROM are Apps2SD. It would probably be easier for all. Are there any cons (performance hits, bloat, ect) to adding it in?

Also, Thanks again for this great ROM! :D:D:D
[Nexus One Android Development] uberingram:
Pardon my ignorance but I tried searching the thread and couldn't find an answer. Does this ROM exhibit any of the call wonk problems that plague CM7 builds? I finally have to call it quits with the CM nightlies as I just can't get my phone to make or receive normal phone calls.
[Nexus One Android Development] mattpannella:
i use a2sd but he should leave it an option. it's not like it's hard to enable, you just flash one zip and you're done

the more stock the base rom is the better it is for everyone

any extra stuff can be individually added as you like
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
No wonkiness for me or anybody else that I have seen. I think that was only a Cyanogen thing (they haven't worked that out yet?) Anyway, this ROM is based on the Google OTA, not AOSP, so it has all the 'correct' google drivers and such.

Give it a try. Very Stable.:cool:
[Nexus One Android Development] summer_love:
Geo I love you, that was the most painless upgrade I ever did. Now I just need to adjust to no trackball wake lol. Thanks!!
[Nexus One Android Development] Mo_Nexus:
TBW

So even if i have an app that enables trackball wake, such as widgetlocker, it won't work on your current rom?
[Nexus One Android Development] uberingram:
Many thanks for the heads up. I hate to give up the CM feature set but this wonk issue is driving me up a wall and no matter how I try to justify it I need my phone to be a phone first and foremost. I was really hoping the 2.3.3 merge into CM would clear it up but after 20+ nightlies I give up.
[Nexus One Android Development] solidmac:
Are the Progress bars still yellow? I like having something that contrasts the whole UI
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:

[Nexus One Android Development] solidmac:
just flashed it but now everytime i flash DT A2SD beta 4 the phone hangs while booting
[Nexus One Android Development] Mo_Nexus:
Probably an issue with the Apps2sd version, the author states that some have an issue with beta 4, try another version
[Nexus One Android Development] Logic_:
Sorry if it's a stupid question, is this the full android gingerbread ROM? I mean, can I flash this from stock image?

My phone's acting wonky since my new SD card and I just want to flash this from a clean slate.

If I can't, can I flash it from your 2.2.1 ROM? I havn't bothered to update since.

Huge fan of your releases though!
[Nexus One Android Development] galaxys:
+1 leave A2SD as an option. Now I must flash your V2...:cool:
[Nexus One Android Development] solidmac:
It worked fine on V1 i will try on adb shell then try another option

Edit: got it to work but lost all my system data... apps data is all there i think
[Nexus One Android Development] wrench115:

Volume will, go a few pages back there's a post on it. Stuck on my phone ATM otherwise I'd find it for you
[Nexus One Android Development] jbrinkley:
i just wanted to say.

I'm getting the most amazing battery life of all time. Pretty much two full days.

probably 200 texts, trackball lights, and bluetooth for at least four or five hours, some wifi in there also, and minor browsing and native email app checking and weather.

I really wonder what's changed.

thanks Geo.
[Nexus One Android Development] rockuman_ex:
i think you need to create 2 versions, one with a2sd and one without.

at the moment, you left out all those users that want a2sd but don't know how to enable it... (like me :D)

that's the very reason why i'm not using your rom at the moment, but would really love to (as i have used your rom previously) when you decided to release an a2sd version :D;)

great work by the way.
[Nexus One Android Development] D!T:
Thanks. I just downloaded the "No Lock" app and left it on lock, allowing any keypress to wake the phone while still allowing PIN guarding (although the disclaimer about airplane mode left me a bit confused).

The accompanying lock app should be "Lockscreen Widget". Love that one.

CORRECTION: leaving the PIN on DOES NOT WORK for wake after 2 seconds. NOR does the trackball wake the phone if you take off the PIN. Guess I'll have to survive without a PIN for now.
[Nexus One Android Development] thatguyzx:
To those bugging Geo about A2SD that haven't tried to read the a2sd thread, it's only 3 steps...

1) flash it. 2) get free terminal app from market. 3) type "su" then "a2sd reinstall" .

And for those with problems, please test the stable release before inquiring further.
[Nexus One Android Development] Mo_Nexus:
Thanks wrench, much appreciated. I'll look into it.

Anyone else having trouble with App2SD on this ROM?

I did a full wipe, partitioned my sd card (using amon-ra), installed this ROM, and then installed the APPS2SD Beta 4 zip, and then reboot.

Then I goto system->applications and notice that my internal space is only 128mb or so. Far less than the 4gb I partitioned on sd-ext. Am I doing something wrong?
[Nexus One Android Development] thatguyzx:
That sounds about right. Internal space reading is not going to show your a2sd storage. Simple way to see that is with Titanium Backup as it clearly shows ext partition space.

And 4gb ext? That's quite a lot. You'd be better off only with 1gb; hell even 512mb. But I recommend 1gb as some rom ports or mods require the extra space.
[Nexus One Android Development] koolbon:
Does No lock work?

I just tried this morning and even with No lock trackball wake didn't work. Only the volume keys worked. Well, I went back to AOSP version with cm settings. I don't see anything wrong with it, so I might stay with it for a while.
[Nexus One Android Development] what25:
Hey Geo, everytime I go back home to LauncherPro or ADW from an app, it always 'starts over'. I have the persistant memory option and prevent FC checked, and it hasnt helped. I was wondering if your 'Tweaked internal task killer for better performance.' may have something to do with it. GRI40 v2. This never was an issue with FRG83.
[Nexus One Android Development] thatguyzx:
Have you tried it without those options checked? Using ADW and doesnt happen to me, and I have the system persistent unchecked as it has proven to be unstable.

Using any home interfering apps? Quickdesk, widgetlocker, wavepad, etc. ?

Has anyone been able to successfully flash V2 over V1 without a full wipe?

ref: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=982295
[Nexus One Android Development] ExtraDas:
I have. Went from v1 with DT's A2SD in place (bunch of apps installed on the EXT already). Boot into recovery, wipe only Dalvik (do it 3 times), flash the ROM then flash a2sd if you are using it (if you are, once you boot, fire up terminal and run a2sd check to see if everything is still in place).

Been running v2 since 10 mins after Geo posted it and have had no problems what-so-ever. All the apps that have already been installed in EXT remained in perfect order.

Good luck
[Nexus One Android Development] tech338:
It worked fine for me. I wiped cache and dalvik-cache before I flashed the ROM because I was having issues taking a nandroid backup through clockwork. I am not sure that had anything to do with it. It seemed to take a long time to load the first time around.

Maybe try updating recovery?
[Nexus One Android Development] galaxys:
Will give it a go :) thanks for the feedback!

Anyone else getting freeze on galery3d while setting wall paper or just playing around with the pics?
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
Got it! Thanks, this worked...took a bit of time to get everything set back up the way I had it, but I'm good now.

About the A2SD question, I'm running pretty low on internal memory if I don't have it installed - which made it a bit tricky to install. The GRI40 ROM had a couple apps built-in that I wasn't expecting and they reduced available room a bit. I had to go through and delete apps I don't use all that much any more until after I got A2sd running and had room for them.

Would making A2SD part of the ROM prevent issues like this, or not? If it will, I'm all for including it in the ROM - but if it will still need to be started up from a terminal app after the ROM update I say don't bother.
[Nexus One Android Development] WorLord:
+1 leaving A2SD as an external option, not part of the ROM.

Wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache, installed V2, everything is awesome. Again, great ROM!
[Nexus One Android Development] summer_love:
Is anyone else having issues with 'share' in the gallery? the list doesn't scroll anymore. Tried a wipe but the issue is still there :(

I have tried unchecking those options, and it still acts the same way. I don't have quickdesk, widgetlocker, or wavepad, so I still don't know what's affecting it.
[Nexus One Android Development] Dionysos999:
Significant improvement in battery life. At 40% after 21 hours of light use. On Froyo (stock or CM) I barely got through the day even with juice defender managing data connections in the background. The speed and fluidity are also impressive.

Has everyone else got such increases in battery life?
[Nexus One Android Development] Txtraveler:
I did this without any real problems. Just cleared Dalvik and flashed the V2, No Rotate Homescreen and DT's A2SD (dtapps2sd-2.7.5.2-1-signed, not the Beta release). The A2SD had been previously installed with V1 and started up with the Terminal app so I'm not certain I needed to reinstall it, but it didn't hurt. Then restarted the phone. Everything works great!

Later I used the A2SD to move Dalvik to the cache partition which caused a hangup on the restart but a battery pull and second restart worked fine, and the result was that my internal memory which was at 13MB before I installed A2SD went to 87MB after, and later to 135MB after moving Dalvik. I found simple instructions for that in post #1157 of this same thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8445344&postcount=1157 if anyone else wants to try it.

Has anyone seen more battery drain with this ROM as compared to stock GRI40? Apologies if this question is already answered in some of the previous posts.
[Nexus One Android Development] rXpCH:
The issue is becoming really annoying :/

A2SD says that ma partition is at 7% used (of 2go). But android thinks that the partition is only 193mo. So now that I'm almost 193mo it says that I cannot install anything anymore :/

What can I do ?
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Have you tried moving dalvik-cache to your SD card? When you install an app it puts the app on your SD card but the dalvik it creates is stored on your internal data partition. I'm sure moving it would solve your problem.
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
For everyone else that's been asking questions that I haven't answered I apologize. My wife has been complaining that I've been spending too much time on the computer. So I basically took her away for a nice weekend getaway to make up for my lack of "being there".

Anyway, I see most of the problems people are having are with A2SD or clearing dalvik during update. Here's a run down on how to install so you don't have problems. Follow all these steps without rebooting. Install rom, install add-on (if any), install A2SD (if you want to have A2SD functionality) and clear dalvik-cache.

People should stick with A2SD stable because beta 4 is having some problems. Also, you may need to download terminal emulator from the market to start it because it doesn't seem to start on it's own in some cases.

Again, people need to remember to clear dalvik-cache when ever installing/updating to a new rom. Just clearing that before an install is huge in alleviating problems.

A2SD, volume wake, improved battery life

I finally succumbed and installed this yesterday, everything is perfect but no trackball wake feels so wrong! So i did the next best thing and setup volume button unlock.

I also used a2sd (ext3) for the first time. I had to activate it from the terminal (read the a2sd thread all the way through, it'll tell you how to use and activate a2sd). It works great so far, the rom is very smooth, responsive, and fast, even battery life has greatly improved.

Excellent work as usual Geo.

About trackball unlock.

Sadly my power button has started being flakey.

So I've started checking about solutions for trackball wake.

Summary:

In v2.3.3 google BROKE something for developers making the trackball wake work.

This is related to 2.3.3 and not 2.3.x as I've understood.

So far there "workaround" is using the volume buttons.

I've used AnyUnlock from the market.

It's very limited and the "lockscreen" they made is ugly but it's a plan b for my power button starting to die on me.

Hope one I'll be in NYC (I'm not from the us) I'll be able to fix it under warranty by HTC US.
[Nexus One Android Development] PSeeCO:
I don't know if this issue is related to this rom or some app, but since I've installed GRI40 i have a very low overall volume, for multimedia and ringtones aswell! I had no problems with the AOSP...

You will still have root, unlocked bootloader, and everything else as from the FRF85B. The FRF91 notification won't bother you anymore. This rom is rooted, so that's why...I am in the same boat as you.
[Nexus One Android Development] bigasluna:
Great, thank you.

[Nexus One Android Development] J.L.C.:

Hey Geo411m sorry if this has been answered before but is the battery percentage an option in spare parts or is it always going to be up there.

[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
I didn't include anyway to turnoff to turnoff battery percentage or trackball awake/unlock. I would just stay on v2 since there isn't much difference anyway.

If you want to use froyo's A2SD download mod install location from the market and set it to SD card. Then go into settings/Applications/Manage Applications and select each apk and move to SD card.

[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Sorry, I missed your post. You need a custom recovery because this is signed using test keys. You do not have to rename to use it since the custom recovery uses files with any name. Instruction are pretty simple. Reboot into recovery and use the install update from zip option and reboot. If you're already rooted use quick boot from the market to make rebooting into recovery quick and easy.
[Nexus One Android Development] IMPEREAL:
thank you i will continue with V2 and continue to follow progress. I am super pleased with this ROM! If there are actual Google or your own improvements in the future that are needed if possible can you include just a basic black bar version like V2 without all the extras.
