I have this problem too, i used Adfree on the 0.13 rom and i havent s-off'ed my phone.. How do i get it to work on 0.14 ?
[Desire Android Development] nirrub:
Latest Kernel

Does anyone know where I can get a flashable zip of the latest kernel (the one 0.14 is using). I'm running 0.13 and I'm very happy with it so I don't want to upgrade.

In fact, I'd really be happy for a recommendation for a kernel which will give make my battery last and will give decent (don't have to be amazing) performance.

Thanks!!!

"With recent versions of ext4 (2.6.29 and later), you can mount any ext2 or ext3 filesystem as ext4 without any changes. You must use tune2fs to enable the new ext4 features"

from the ext4 wiki at kernel.org - see link above for more
[Desire Android Development] radiohitec:
I'm back to 0.13 with android backup no time to figure it out at the moment and have lag problems, I don't no why, yes you can download it from market, but by Facebook I need the Facebook HTC Sense application, can't download on the Market, tommorow I go further, think put the files from the 0.13 to the 0.14, thanks for the fast reply, good work bro!
[Desire Android Development] robocik:
uploading...
[Desire Android Development] woti23:
this turns on journaling on any ext2 or ext3 or ext4 fs, and initiates the journal

(since kernel 2.6.29, source ext4.wiki.kernel.org)

which you can mount then as ext4 even if it was formated ext2,

to use more of the ext4 features than journal, you have to enable these too

i want to install this rom but i was reading about the soon there will be 0.14b with the host file in data, should be able to update it then so should i wait for this version before i go ahead and install?

what radio should i use?

is the kernal the best that is included in the rom or should i try different ones any recomended?

i have an ext3 partition on my card am i ok to just leave it or am i better off with ext4 what are the pros and cons of ext4 over ext3?
[Desire Android Development] rum0s:
Thank you very much for v14 :-) now its running like a charm! Keep up your good work!

Ps: and no frequency overshoot like in v13 at all! Thumbs up :-) :-)
[Desire Android Development] radiohitec:
Strange I haven't, can you synchronize it with no problems?
[Desire Android Development] melethron:
Did you use the data2sd script from ownhere. Or just the normal app2sd from 0.13.

If you use data2sd you still have an ext4 file without journaling and should do:

"adb shell tune2fs -O has_journal /sd-ext/ext4"

If you have normal app2sd then this shouldnt bather you. Journaling will also be added in the next release.
[Desire Android Development] aaa:
I just flashed v14 D2SD (Data2EXT) with 1.5GB EXT2...and ...

It took only 10 min for first boot.

Restoring 100+ apps using titanium took quite a while tho'....

Yup! I am like a kid who installed tons of games on the phone!

hahahaha...

Wow!...it has a huge speed difference to v13.

Good job!

No lag, no FCs, no random reboot so far.

Adfree works, downloaded adobe reader from market, titanium bckup restoring suceeded...and so on..

No problem found so far..

I'll play around a bit...hehehe

Thanks Rob!

RCMixHD v0.14b D2EXT

Guys i have uploaded a new 0.14b version with updated data2ext script

RCMixHD v0.14b D2EXT

Changes...

Updated the script to the updated original by ownhere, so it is formating your EXT partition to what it needs... this is for now, let see if that works for us better.

Moved Bootnimation/downanimation and possibility to add android_audio.mp3 (bootsound) to data/local

Moved host to data (test please if the adfree or adblock is finaly working..)

Added handwriting to chineese keyboard

and if you have to wipe.... well i actually dont know, i am installing everything from scratch... :/

A new release again?!

I have just finished flashing and restoring...

Flashing didn't took long...restoring apps using titanium takes a long time for my 100+ apps....

Do I have to flash and restore everything again?

BTW : I just wanna have the host data stuff.

Is there a very easy and newbie friendly way of changing that one without going through the flashing and restoring stuff?
[Desire Android Development] melethron:
1. This isn't only about the ext4 partition. If you have data2sd and an ext2 partition you still have an ext4 file in /sd-ext/ext4 which has journaling disabled. Everthing from /data/data/ is stored in this file. Even if you have journaling on for your ext2 partition this loop device has journaling off and for safety reason you should still do:

adb shell tune2fs -O has_journal /sd-ext/ext4

This does exactly what the ownhere's script update does (he quotet the part that removes journaling on first boot for that device) and what robocik will add in the next release.

2. Yes. OC and UV problems are always device/cpu specific (due to impuritys in the weavers when they make the cpu). Your phone may run stable with 1275mV@1113 and it may even run unstable with 1300mV@1113. That is simply based on luck. If your phone is stable with 1275@1113mhz this is even better than at 1300mV because it uses slightly (!) less power. So you can give it a try. But i would advice you too:

- enable journaling in case your phone freezes/reboots since without journal a filesystem corruption will most likely occure (i had 2 freezes and both time i had corruption)

- make a nandroid backup before flashing kernels (also a warning: Amon Ra 2.0.0 doesn't backup complete sd-ext so this doesn't work. I just flashed 2.0.1 beta and check if it works - clockwork does also work as reported before)

-always OC in small steps and if its unstable set the clock down (and be warned as it could kill your cpu - but i never expirienced that in all those years of oc'ing - and i had sick overclocks like 2.66Ghz -> 3.8 Ghz)

O well...

Hehehehe..

At least I already know that the v14 is definitely a lot faster and a lot more stable than v13.

Fantastic rom Robocik, working like a charm. Out of interest, did the GPU fix make the cut?
[Desire Android Development] dazzlet:
please someone can you answer me and help me out......

what radio to use with this rom?

if i use an ext3 partition on my sd card do i need to run

adb shell tune2fs -O has_journal /sd-ext/ext4

and whick kernel to use for the best the one that is included with the rom or the couttstech-2.6.32.26_OC1190_LeeDroidv2.2f_HAVS@875mV_CMBattFix_BFS_BFQ?

thanks so much i am awaiting starting the flashing process until i get the info i need so everything will go smooth i hope lol

thanks

[Desire Android Development] ArgirisGR:
could some1 tell me where to find the apps tapatalk and soundhound for free?

i come from greece so i dont have paid apps yet :/
[Desire Android Development] melethron:
YES you have to restore everything. Since it recreates your sd-ext it's the same as if you would wipe your sd-ext. Also since /data is on sd-ext that is also wiped. And cache is wiped on install. Only thing that isn't wiped is sdcard/.android_secure (this is the froyo app2sd folder wich should be empty anyway).

So actually the script does a FULL WIPE except for the real "/data" folder. So updating is impossible.

Although the /data is on /sd-ext i would recommend to still do a wipe since the "real" data folder isn't wiped and there are still those folders present:

"/data/dalvik-cache" "/data/misc" "/data/system" "/data/property"

The only thing that those file may do is causing trouble.
[Desire Android Development] viva.fidel:
Thanks for the reply & advice, I'm getting so confused with these file systems, I thought ext2 didn't support journalling in the first place.. regardless I'm using gparted to convert my ext3 to ext4 and I'll flash 0.14b, hopefully all will go well.

I'm using clockworkmod thankfully.. "adb shell /system/bin/dmesg" should display any HAVS errors right?

& that's one hell of an overclock, a friend did something similar but it required liquid cooling!
[Desire Android Development] aaa:

[Desire Android Development] pouyaa:

[Desire Android Development] anko184:
do it again from the beggining, the error that you got means that there isn't any ext partition on your sdcard.
[Desire Android Development] melethron:
Ext2 doesn't support journaling that is right. But even if your sd-ext is ext2 the script still creates a file (with 1/5 sice of the partition) on the partion that is ext4. And THIS file is then mounted as a loop device.

But i'm actually also confused why ownhere did this. Ext4 without journaling may be faster (don't know) but i think ext2 should be better than ext4 with journaling. :confused: . In the first version of the script he actually used ext2 for the loop device on a ext4 sd-ext wich may made sense. But why the hell should one have an ext4 sd-ext with an ext4 file on it.... i mean .... :confused::confused::confused::confused:

Hmm maybe i edit script to make it completly ext2 and remove the loop device part.

Oh and on top of that i was also wondering about the size of the loop device. I think it's to small.

On app2sd i had like 200 Mb of apps and like 80 MB of app-data (wich was on internal back than). This means with a 1 GB ext the loop device will be 200 MB. Wasn't the idea behind data2sd not to have more space for data/data wich is 150 MB ....:confused::confused::confused:

Problems with SD Card

Hello,

after Update my rom to RCMixHd 0.14 App2SD works but

i can´t access my sd-card. In Recovery Mode SD-Card works.

i tried to fix the problem with the command fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

but no result. I tried another Kernel but no SD-Card mounts.

And at the last i tried the usb-brick fix but .... nothing ....

Any Ideas ?

SD-Card Partitioned with Partition Wizard

3,2 GB FAT32 - Primary

512 MB EXT2 - Primary

64 MB - Linux SWAP

Sorry to ask something that has most probably been asked before,but why can't I restore any system data with Titanium Backup without f*cking up my system?If I do so I get a constant "The process com.android.acore blah blah blah" again and again and again and again...Can't I restore at least my playlists and my messages? :(
[Desire Android Development] mattiadj:
Can anyone answer me?:-)

sent from the future
[Desire Android Development] melethron:
Yeah, he also has a thread here where he explains almost the same. BUT this refers to EXT4 WITHOUT journaling.

And without journaling we get those fc's when the filesystem is not unmounted proberly (almost certain on a freeze/force reboot) and i also noticed that android doesn't unmount proberly. If a files gets corupted fsck is also useless so all you can do is a Nandroid/reflash.

This leads to the recent changes WITH Journaling. And this doesn't make sense. Consider an app writes 200kb to the SD. This is first writen to the journal and then writen to the disk. Means that there are actually 400 kb to be writen. The speed advantage of EXT4 is completly negated by this.

For more info check this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6179444&postcount=4

And also quoted from wiki

"ext2 is still recommended over journaling file systems on bootable USB flash drives and other solid-state drives. ext2 performs fewer writes than ext3 since it does not need to write to the journal. As the major aging factor of a flash chip is the number of erase cycles, and as those happen frequently on writes, this increases the life span of the solid-state device.[2] Another good practice for filesystems on flash devices is the use of the noatime mount option, for the same reason."

With all this info i rewrite the script now. Only part im not sure about is if the loopdevice would still have an advantage if its ext2 on ext2. Let's see.

Something important apart from this :

Please add to your first post that nandroid backup isn't working with 2.0.0 or older Versions of Amon Ra. There is a newer Version available in this post. I tested it and its working fine. Clockwork does also work.
[Desire Android Development] bradmax57:
Great Rom but ad blocker doesnt seem to be working for me, i have flashed s-off also

Any ideaS?
[Desire Android Development] woti23:
yes, i understood the first idea better too. maybe taking the hassle from the user to repartition the sd card, and set the features, instead using a file and doing that in a script, maybe this was indended?

after all extended filesystem versions differs mainly in features

ext3 = ext2

+ journal (has journal must be set to even mount)

+ filesize > 2GB ...

ext4 = ext3

but journal not required to mount

+ over 32000 subdirectories

+ files larger than 2TB in size

+ more than 2^32 filesystem blocks ...

+ extended metadata

and a lot of other thing we don't need i think on the sdcard

so i wonder why ext3 shouldn't do as well

as you mentioned before, pulling the battery can crash the filesystem if no journal

its a pitty the phone has not 5 sdcard-slots, we could make a nand-raid5 ;-)

I'm new to all this rooting business and this is the first rom I've installed.

Great rom, so pleased to have the additional DHD features without having to fork out an extra £200 for the minimal hardware changes! :D

For the most part it works fine but it is a bit sluggish at times, like sometimes when I try to unlock the phone the unlock slider doesn't respond to touches for about 2 seconds. Sometimes my messages/gmail/etc icons on my homescreen take a few seconds to update with the little number icon when I receive a new message, and likewise, takes a few seconds to update when I've read a message.

I read elsewhere that a lot of this lag is caused because of the modded notification bar. Can anyone confirm/deny this and say whether installing the original bar improved things?

Does anyone have any general tips for speeding up the rom? I'm running 0.13 btw.

Thanks in advance :)
