My unanswered ROM Manager, SD Card Partition post looks like it belongs here

I rooted my dInc with UnRevoked & 4ever and am now running SkyRaider 3.0 Sense (seems stable & fast) and I see that there's an update available to SR Sense 3.1 RC3 - so I figure now might be a good time to use ROM Manager to create an Ext partition for Apps on my 16G Kingston Class 10 SD card - although, so far I've been using App2SD successfully w/o partitioning the card. What's the benefit? The ability to back up apps on the sd card?

Anyway, I did nandroid & Titanium backups and copied my entire card to a folder on my PC.

My first question is what size ext partition should I choose? (I do currently have a ton of apps - but will be paring down to a leaner machine with fewer redundant apps). Also, what swap size do you suggest?

2nd, when I copy from the PC's SD Card folder back SD Card, which files & folders go to the ext. partition? Just the moved apps?. Then, all the rest to the main partition?

Then, do I just mount the card in the phone and run the update with a full wipe?

I already have the Goodies installed but, will I want to d/l the newest kernel?

Lastly, which of Titaniums' batch restore scenarios is best to finish with? Missing Apps w/ data? All apps & system data?

I realize there are numerous ways to go on this but I'm hoping you folks have some experience you can share before I make any major changes to a phone that's really running pretty well.

Please keep in mind I'm working with ROM Manager and I haven't gotten into sdk, adb, emulation or overclocking - yet :eek:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vybztymz:
(Q1) I have an 8gb sdcard and created a 1gb Ext2 partition using G-Parted (using Ubuntu 10.04 onmy thumb drive). You dont need to create SWAP. I did'nt use ROM Manager as it (a) totally wipes your sdcard and (b) it only allows for a 512mb partition. I still copied all my sdcard data to my NAS beforehand though....just in case:)

once I parttioned my sdcard,

I did a full wipe (incl. cache \ dalvic etc)

Installed custom ROM (Pinky Desire 1.8 – FRF91 Official Sense Release).

Then re-installed everything from scratch as, like you, was unsure how TB would restore my backups.

Then used TB to restore User apps w /Data. I figured that system apps were easier\safer to reconfigure manually

Once done, and tested - did an"all user apps+system data" backup with TB.

Booted into Recovery, and did Nandroid backup (and copied that to my NAS bos)

Dont worry about which apps go to the EXT partition. As I understand it, most free apps can be moved\installed to the SDCard; paid apps can only be moved\nstalled to sdcard if the developer has enabled it to do so. I use an app called App 2 SD - it dentifies which appa can be moved to sdcard.

I'm pretty sure that there are easier \ quicker ways, and that my way is over cautious, but it was useful in giving me a better understanding of Android.

I hope this helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dartmouth70:
Thanx for the feedback!

Sounds like about what I'll be doing - unless someone comes up with specific details on using ROM Manager.

What's particularly confusing is that even the apps that can be moved to the SD card only partially reside on the card.

Its not quite free but you get 2p texts (im from england) but i think its an international thing: fishtext http://www.fishtext.com/

you install a java app and send them from in there, the reciever gets the text message from your number (rather than the text service's number) so friends can just click reply.

it's easy to top up your online credit, just send a normal text from your phone to fish text and it takes £5 off your credit and puts £5 in your online credit.

Hi all,

I was wondering wy do We need to use a Windows box (virtual or emulated it doesn't meter) to install Our firmware updates (roms) in a linux based system, its kind of a frustration for Me, I use linux for about 7 years and I had to install a virtualbox with WinXP just to update My phone, or am I missing something??

is there an app that runs natively thought linux?

thanks in advance

Hello

I'm posting this because I just changed my 1GB SD card for a 16 GB Class 6, everything works fine, but now (one of the goals of the operation) I want to upgrade to 6.0 Cyanogen

So, the question is: should I partition? what is the reasonable amount to allocate to keep the rest for any Debian etc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kepalakayu:
Depend...

OK, I have the answer, so I give it in case you wonder.

In fact, there is no need to partition the point of view of 6.0, but some applications can seek an ext2 or swap (this is a constraint due to these applications, not to cyanogen) So if we can predict all at once as long as it does not take too much space (32 MB of swap, and around 800 / 1.2GB ext2 ...).

Still, I think there are people who program with their feet ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Correct you don't need the EXT partition because Froyo supports apps2fat which means you can do it with a regularly partitioned card. However, if your going to install apps to your SD its better to flash fireats script that lets you use the EXT partition and go that route. Reason being, if you ever unmount your SD card with the system on, all your apps go with it.

[Droid 2 General] manho001:
Can the droid 2 be overclocked now?
[Droid 2 General] xiaoh03:
I'd like to know, too...
[Droid 2 General] jcsugrue:
Not yet. It can be underclocked to save battery life, but until we're able to load a kernel that supports overclocking, we're stuck with these sluggish 1Ghz speeds. :D
[Droid 2 General] jerseyh22accord:
really? 1ghz isn't fast enough for you?

even when/if the kernal can be changed overclocking will only go but so far, the D1 was underclocked stock so it was able to overclock much farther then any other phone currently. I think the snapdragon's are able to only go to like 1.3, i imagine ours wont go much farther
[Droid 2 General] jcsugrue:
It's not about being fast enough, its about if its as fast as it can be. What's the fun in running at stock speeds? Squeeking out another 30% would be pretty awesome.
[Droid 2 General] jerseyh22accord:
dont worry, im pretty sure you will get your wish one day. As far as when all i can say is be patient

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwassi:
Hello there!

I think I've just broken my HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1).

I wanted to install a new ROM - started to root the phone (that worked).

Then I flashed the SPL from here:

(URL remove do to restriction; source was

code.google.com / p / sapphire-port-dream /

(remove the blanks))

I've found the link to that SPL in another HowTo, which did not mention that I have to flash the latest Radio first.

So that is my situation: the phone does not boot at all (Power+Home not working, Power+Camera not working), it freezes on the start screen.

Now my question: is there any way of recovering the phone on my own?

(JTAG wouldn't be a big problem)

Should I take it back? By a new one?

Thanks in advance and

greetings from Austria,

P.Wassi

PS: If this isn't the correct forum, maybe a Mod can move it...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwassi:
Problem SOLVED

The problem is gone, the phone is running CM6 ;-)

I've soldered the JTAG-connector and accessed the phone this way 'round, booted into fastboot where I could flash the Radio required by the SPL.

Everything fine :-)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kanttii:
Sure, go on and have a look at any Galaxy ROM.. The pngs are only for HDPI and there will likely be none for our MDPI devices as AFAIK there are no TouchWiz MDPI phones.

Ah that kinda sucks. Hmmm i guess the only option is to upgrade my phone then. Hmmm just an off-topic question, should i get the Motorola Atrix, LG optimus 2x or the Samsung Galaxy S2
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
There is a port of MDPI Touchwiz app on the forums i have the app if you want it i can give it to you, but its slow i think that LP and ADW are much faster
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lws803:

Hmmm, well then could you give me the link?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
Here you go here is the link
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kanttii:
I know - I meant the whole TouchWiz suite and Galaxy I9000 ROM :)

Closest you can get is to use a theme and the launcher, though.

really? that was my favorite part. when in the app drawer i hit menu>move i think, and it let me make a new group at the top and i put my 10-15 most used apps into to it so no more hunting. it wasnt launcher pro fast for me but i def didnt get any lag at all. I dont know maybe it will be a good starting point for something great. i just found the widgets for it and there kinda cool looking im mostly diggin on the notepad one, anyhows ill upload them just in case anyone wants em. later, veritas

@everything: just use appbrain market & their "fast web installer", which allow to install any apps (even those hidden apps you secretly wish to install.. bleh bleh) from appbrain.com (and can even manage your apps, keep lists of them in case of backup needs, etc...)

google: appbrain fast web installer
[Wildfire General] mnrsmith:
I can't see Rom Manager even with appbrain+fast web installer.

I see the download on the Rom Manager site for buzz...but I don't know if I should try it. I have used the unrevoked root.

Does anyone know how to install this and what the effect on unrevoked it has?

it looks like it's not live wallpapers, you can look on youtube search for samsung galaxy s froyo.first link.

forward to 4th minute if you dont want to watch full movie.

or maybe it's user wallpaper?

Do you have an update.zip file to flash back to the eclair ones or do I need to flash the whole firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] azreil24:
They should have worked with eclair roms to. To get the eclair ones you can get them from an eclair rom, you can find a rom in the developemnt thread, like Doc`s full rom, download and extract them from there, use an update.zip and flash them back.

Includes hands on video in the Engadget link. Gotta say, very impressed. Only let down might be that they didn't manage a SAMOLED screen, but the one they chose looks good so far.

Also, conflicting reports on the CPU. Gizmodo and that press sheet say A8, Engadget says A9. My money is on the same Hummingbird that's in the Galaxy S though.

The Samsung GALAXY Tab (GT-P1000) Product Specifications
[Galaxy Tab General] INeedYourHelp:
I just want to know the price.
[Galaxy Tab General] rmanaudio:
If it is in the $300 range I will buy one!
[Galaxy Tab General] matty___:
how much is the galaxy S again? right so you want a larger version of the phone for less money..

Lets see how that will work out...
[Galaxy Tab General] rmanaudio:
If it goes into the $500 range, they are in the ipad range then. I dont think they can compete with the ipad unless they offer more (which they do) for less!

So, my guess is $399.
[Galaxy Tab General] dezshiz:
yea $399 seems like a fair price..
[Galaxy Tab General] mickeko:
Apparently a finnish press release (by email) set the price to 949€ (~$1200)... Which is somewhat higher than the "fair" price you wish for... I doubt they will sell very many if that's accurate. And it pisses me off that they didn't toss in a 1280x720 screen... I don't care if Android doesn't support the resolution.. It's not like it's impossible to make it support it, it's OPEN SOURCE.
[Galaxy Tab General] matty___:
well I paid 480 euros for my phone so 400$ is like 350 euro.. Hard to belief but lets see...

Wouldn't buy it anyways. give me a dualcore nVidia tegra2 tablet with 3500mah. like toshiba Folio 100
[Galaxy Tab General] rmanaudio:
Phones are phones....look at the iphone, it costs more than the ipad!

Samsung will not make a single dime if they price it more than any ipad!

$399 or less otherwise it will be a big bust for a 7" tablet!

What would be even better is a non-GSM version for $299 so that every Galaxy S user can buy one and teether it when needed.
[Galaxy Tab General] INeedYourHelp:
I thought I wouldn't get the urge to buy another device for a while.... 32GB! of internal storage? 1024 x 600 Resolution? I hate this:D

Let's see... Europe will get it first, so I could buy that one and be limited to only 1900mhz 3g of AT&T, but it will be easy to switch from sgs phone (take out sim card, put it in tab, done!).

Or I could wait for the verizon version, and probably get skype with it like all the other verizon android devices. But I already have AT&T contract....

Or I could wait for the Canadian Bell version, but I haven't heard anything about that.

A confirmed price and release date would be nice from them.

MORE IMPORTANT:

- This equipment is very similar to our SGS and will be updated to Gingerbread (Android 3.0)

- Someone from Samsung mentioned they're working already in Honeycomb (Android 3.X)!

Long life to SGS is garanteed! :)

BTW: Did someone find any benchmark figures from the SGT?
[Galaxy Tab General] matty___:
Well not really samsung wants to sell phones not software.guess it's for their new flash ship

Just think about how many people will buy it if they think they will get amdroid 3.

So by then samsung can change their mind because the customers paid already.

So if some guy says something off the record it means nothing
