[HTC Aria Android Development] Googa:
Thanks, tkirton -- I got it all working great!

Maybe it just helped to start fresh again.

I have all my apps running great on ext3. Thanks a lot!
[HTC Aria Android Development] tkirton:
The more apps you have, the greater the chance of something going wrong in the process...this is because sometimes apps don't play well.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
Just curious if you have seen any issues related strictly to number of apps, or is it just that more apps increases the chances of having one that doesn't play nice? I'm running, according to appdragon, about 190 apps. Obviously some of these are on /system, but I have had zero problems running your script (been using it since one of the cm6 rc's)

Thanks for the continued interest and development.

Only Dalvik to SD

Can I install this then do an "a2sd remove" to get the apps back to internal, but still move Dalvik to SD? Or does "remove" stop all function of the script?

Edit: Went ahead and flashed it over 10 minutes and it's stuck at the boot1 splash. CM7 nightly 22 stock install.

Edit 2: After 2 "3 finger salutes" it kicked in and and gave me a logcat and finished installing.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tkirton:
No, I haven't seen a limit since Cupcake. It's just the fact that more apps, the more chance you'll get one that doesn't want to cooperate.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
Haven't had problems with Beta 03 with CM7; however, just flashed the newest nightly (23) after a super clean refresh (wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, format system) of my phone and the phone won't get past the splash (HTC) screen with Beta 04.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
I have the same problem after a full data wipe. I'll have to revert back to the first beta 03 version of DT and then after booting the phone, boot back to recovery and flash beta 4 and it works then. No idea why, but it does.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
Those who are getting bootloops...that may not be the case. I flashed Beta 4 as usual and on first boot it sat on the HTC screen for a while then rebooted and sat there for a while again, I waited and then it started the rest of the boot process...just be patient, it should just boot.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
Did it sit for over 10 minutes?
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
I did not time it, but it did at least one boot restart during the htc screen. Made a comment to my wife that I thought I had a boot loop...but waited it out and it started ok...
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Its actually designed to do this on a fresh install. theres more info on why on the official facebook page.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
I realize this, but how long does it take before the first boot? It seems like 10 minutes is too long.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
I think it really depends on how many apps you have...but mine took less than 5 minutes from restart to lockscreen. At first I started to mess with it while it was doing what it does, but I waited and it worked.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
It depends on how many apps you have. I have 65 user apps and it takes my phone about 15 mins to boot after installing. but that time includes the boot animation. If its sitting on the htc screen for several mins then you probably need to re-flash. But I'd say after the reboots probably about 3-5 mins on the htc screen and then another 7-10 on the boot animation. I'll get that from time to time where I have to flash DT a couple tines to get it to boot.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tkirton:
I'm rebuilding this entire launch sequence...I'm not very happy that I'm having this many issues.

If Beta 03 works for you, then stick with that until I can rebuild this.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
I'd like to point out that once I do get the phone to do its initial full boot that beta 4 is working flawlessly for me. I'm very grateful for the amount of effort out into this project.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
Same here. I just have to do two 3 button reboots on my aria before it boots properly and finishes a proper install.
[HTC Aria Android Development] strose09:
Hey All, I am running CM7 with the built in Apps2sd feature. If I want to use DT Apps2sd do I have to still partition the card or can I just flash it?
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
Yes. Regular cm apps to sd uses the fat32 partition on the sd card. DT needs an ext partition. ROM manager does a nice job of partitioning the card correctly. You probably want to back up your card before partitioning though, or you will lose data.

I highly recommend dt apps2sd.

Edit: sorry, just re-read my response and realized it it's slightly vague...you do need to re-partition to use dt a2sd unless you already have an ext2/3 partition in the second position on the card.
[HTC Aria Android Development] strose09:
Rom Manager does not work on my phone for some reason. Is there an alternative method. When I reboot into recovery there is no Partition SDcard option.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
ROM manager is the only on-device option I know of to do this. If you have a linux machine you can use gparted. I'm sure there is a windows option as well, but I don't know of one specifically. You need software to edit the partitions on the card, and format the second partition ext3.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
If using ClockworkMod Recovery, you can't partition your SD card from recovery. You have to use ROM Manager itself when the device is on to partition. There are other ways to partition your card though using Paragon Partition Manager or as mentioned GParted.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mindstate:
dunno if this has been addressed, but when i tried to flash the Beta 4 my phone got stuck @ HTC Screen. the non beta Version 2.7.5.2-1 works fine on Cyanogenmod 7 build # 34
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
I have found, through several cm7 updates, that if I flash beta 4 twice (second time immediately following the first) then reboot, I usually get proper behavior...one time I had to do a battery pull and reboot, but it worked
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
+1 on this. Even if I get stuck at the HTC screen or a boot loop I can just pull the battery and it will boot fine.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mindstate:
Hm, i just flashed 2.7.5.2-1 onto the Cyanogenmod 7. Seems to work fine, apps goto the SD EXT partition. But before, i used to be able to see the apps in the sd-ext file folder now that folder is empty even though the apps are on the sdcard. I dont know if everythings working properly..anyone got any input?
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
Maybe a stupid question, but...

This may have been addressed, but I couldn't find it:

When I install the CM7 ROM, it seems to load my apps to the SD card without DT's A2SD application.

Here are my questions:

Is there any reason to install DT's A2SD Application since the CM7 ROM seems to already load apps to SD card?

How do I know if my apps are in the Dalvik Cache? Does just flashing DT A2SD do this?

What are the advantages of having the cache on the SD card? Faster boot? Faster access?

Thanks for your patience to whomever answers these questions....

.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
1. The advantage is that you can load apps that need to be loaded during the boot process (apps that sync linked information with your contacts, widgets, etc) off of your SD card. Normally, apps loaded on the FAT32 partition of your card will load AFTER your phone has completely booted (widgets will disappear, Facebook/Twitter/GMail will/may lose sync). Also, you can move your Dalvik-cache to the Ext partition freeing up more space on your phone.

2. Apps do not go to the Dalvik-cache. If you meant the Ext partition, then yes, DT's A2SD automatically moves everything that you have installed (minus /system apps) to your Ext partition.

3. If your card can handle the writing of the cache on itself, then there should be no change in performance. The main advantage is to free up space to install more and more (limited by the size of your Ext partition) on your phone.
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
Thank you for these very clear answers!

[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
Do i flash this or what do i do?
[HTC Aria Android Development] DanGeorges:
Please tell me this is a joke question...

Install the zip file like you would install a ROM.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
Ok thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
How important is the class of my sd card to use this? Like if I have a crappy card will it affect performance? I'm assuming it will I'm just looking for confirmation
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
I'm running a super cheap class 4 card and I can't notice any difference in performance from when I had the apps running from internal memory to now running from ext pic partition. So you don't need a class 6 card. As far as quality, if you plan on using an ext 3 partition I would definitely recommend a quality card ssince this can degrade the life of the card. I personally just run ext 2 and have had no issues. There is no performance gain between an ext2 or ext3.
[HTC Aria Android Development] joachim123:
yeah mines running fine with a class 4 as well. parted as ext4 though.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
so how do we partion the sd card if we dont have the partion sd option in recovery?
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
either using rom manager on the device, or on a pc. the linux tool I use is gparted.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
I use rom manager to create an ext 2 partition. You can actually use DT to convert that to an ext3 if you'd like.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
And how will u know if u partioned it correctly?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
O and do u have to uninstall all ur apps before doing this?
[HTC Aria Android Development] L551:
No you do not, but I moved all of them to the internal memory just in case.

Sent from my Aria - CM7 Build 2-3
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
Ok so i partioned my sd card using rom manager with 512 ext and flashed dt.... how do i know if i did it right?
[HTC Aria Android Development] L551:
I checked in titanium backup, at the bottom it showed "sd-ext", where the apps are now installed.

Sent from my Aria - CM7 Build 2-3
[HTC Aria Android Development] strose09:
So I'm confused. I did the dt a2sd but I'm not sure how to move the apps over to that partition. I moved some apps over to CM7 apps2sd but you can't move all of them.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
I noticed that when i reboot my widgets say theres a problem... is there a way to fix this?
[HTC Aria Android Development] strose09:
Move your widgets to internal memory.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
They r on internal memory... and it's not just my downloaded Widgets its also the stock ones to....
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
A2SD moves ALL of your apps (widgets included) to the sd-ext automatically. You don't need to do anything after you flash the .zip. The phone will tell you that the app is either on the Phone or SD Card; however, they are on your sd-ext.

A way to check is to open Terminal Emulator and type in:

You can also use...

... to check how much space you have on your sd-ext.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
So theyres no way to fix the widget problem?
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
There is no problem with widgets. I have a few widgets on my homescreen and they are showing up just fine even after multiple reboots.

Go into Terminal Emulator and type:

See if that fixes your problem.

EDIT: Ok. I refute my last post. Just tested moving a widget to SD Card and rebooting. While the widget is still located on the sd-ext, the option to add the widget did not show up; so make sure that you have all of your widgets "located" on the Phone instead of the SD Card.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
Thank u so much man it fixed it
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
as far as widgets go, make sure that the apps that use them are installed to the phone as far as the roms built in a2sd goes. Also, if you're running CM, go into cm settings>applications and make sure that its set to install apps to internal memory, NOT external. DT a2sd trick the phone into thinking that the ext partition IS the phones internal memory. If an app goes to external it will get moved to the Fat32 partition (main) of the sd card and you wont be able to use widgets.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
Yup but it's fixed
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
You can use titanium to move all user apps to "internal" memory.
[HTC Aria Android Development] strose09:
Thanks for the explanations that helped a lot. Another question is if you flash nightlies do you have to setup dt a2sd all over again?
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
Yeah you need to flash dt right after you flash the nightly
[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
I'm running dt beta 2... how do I upgrade to beta 4?
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Just flash it. You don't need to do anything else.
[HTC Aria Android Development] BuckMulligan:
Okay, I'm feeling stupid now. When I was running the Liberated Aria FR008 ROM, I moved my Dalvik cache to my SD card using the "cachesd" command. I recall having little or no trouble doing so.

Now, I've flashed CM7 RC1 and re-installed DT a2sd. It appears that the installation worked correctly - when I use Titanium backup to look at the phone's stats, I see that I have a total of 479 MB available on the SD card (a2sd), of which 353 MB is free. That implies to me that I have 146 MB of apps installed on an EXT partition.

But, when I try to remember how to use the cachesd command, I can't figure it out. Furthermore, I thought that the command prompt in the terminal on my laptop was supposed to be a dollar sign (I don't remember whether I had to issue an "su" command to make that happen). instead, the command prompt I have is a tilde, followed by a space, followed by a hash sign (like so: ~ #). This is not what I remembered from before. In any event, no matter what I do with a2sd (or with su, for that matter), I get a "permission denied" error.

I'm sorry to sound so clueless - is anyone willing to wade in and help a noob out?
[HTC Aria Android Development] FtaWolf:
You can always use command "a2sd help" from command prompt.

Are go to first post in this thread & find link to all. Commands there.
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
huh, sounds like you are doing it correctly. should be 'su' to get a # prompt, then a2sd cachesd. this is in the terminal emulator on the device.
[HTC Aria Android Development] gdgeorge:
You may need to remove the terminal from the Superuser app and then allow it to be discovered again. It sounds like you're using the command correctly.

$SU

<SU app should pop up noting that the Terminal Emulator has been granted SU rights>

#a2sd cachesd

<phone should reboot>
[HTC Aria Android Development] BuckMulligan:
Wait - so you guys are talking about running this from a terminal session on the device? I thought that since the Aria is NAND locked, I had to do any operation of this sort from a terminal session on my laptop with the device attached by USB and booted into recovery. At least, I'm pretty sure that's how I did it before.
[HTC Aria Android Development] L551:
Yeah, that's how I've been using it.

Sent from my Aria - CM7 Build 2-4
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
Just do adb shell, then from the # prompt issue your a2sd commands. Try a2sd check first.

You do this with the phone booted, not in recovery. Partitions are not mounted in recovery.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Ive only ever used the terminal emulator app on my phone for DT a2sd commands. It creates a flag and then reboots the phone at which time it makes its changes based on that flag.
[HTC Aria Android Development] BuckMulligan:
Dang - that was easy. Thanks, guys.
[HTC Aria Android Development] eagle0042:
I just flashed CM7 (from CM6 with DT a2sd) to my Aria, and flashed DT a2sd Beta 04 on top. It worked great, until I tried to move the cache to the dalvik partition to the cache partition on my card.

When it moved it, the phone went into a endless boot loop. I pulled the battery, and tried it again, to no avail. So I reinstalled the DT a2sd script, still nothing. So then, I tried clearing the dalvik thru CWR, and that worked, I was able to get back into the phone. However, none of my apps show up anymore...My home screen is exactly the way it was before, but there are very few apps in my app list; and I am not sure where those came from, as there was no apps installed "externally".

I tried running "a2sd install" in my terminal app, and it says

"WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage."

"Do you really want to continue? (y/n)"

Of course, I press N. But yet the script continues, and attempts to mount mmcblk0p2, and fails with "Device or resource busy".

It then appears to process each app (226). Then reboots. Nothing is changed.

How can I get all my apps to appear again?

Thanks in advance.

The title says it all. Will we ever really get froyo? On starting to doubt it. Just curious what others think. Hopefully someone here is the head software engineer at Samsung:-)

they call me...kick ass
[Fascinate General] bdube:
from the fascinate page on samsungs site:

" Powered by the latest Android platform (and upgradeable to 2.2), this phone fully integrates with Google Mobile Services. You're now at one with your Gmail account, Google Maps, YouTube videos and more."

Plus Verizon publicly stated we will be able to use google search over bing when it is upgraded to Froyo

i dont know when, but it will come
[Fascinate General] mddmx:
No one knows.

I do think that Samsung's credability in the android world is at stake. Right now they are NOT LOOKING GOOD and boring the hell out of me. WTF is the problem?
[Fascinate General] dlongb13:
Wow guys, have some patients, the phone has been out for 14 days. I realize Froyo has been out for longer than that but jeez, relax. To say "are we ever gonna get it" is a little ridiculous. Just sit back and enjoy your new toy, its already great. Or maybe get off your comp and go find a lady to keep you busy for a change :) :)
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Um, anyone following the news should not be doubting this. Samsung announced that Froyo will be out for the Galaxy S by the end of October. The US variants should follow shortly afterward.
[Fascinate General] money226:
Look at the back of the media dock and it will answer your question.
[Fascinate General] dakoop:
Lol

My phone made words....
[Fascinate General] Mean Bro Greene:
This. It took me around 3 months to get Froyo for my Droid X, so 14 days isn't really that much time. All signs point to it being out within the next few months. To be honest, I'm enjoying my Fascinate the way it is now, I just got everything set up the way I want. That's not to say that 2.2 wouldn't be a welcome addition, I just know how much of a pain it's been getting it functioning properly on my last 3 devices.
[Fascinate General] ohfire:
I am really not in a huge hurry to get it. My phone is working great, just as my Droid 1 was working before 2.2 fried it and there began my move to the fascinate. They gave me junk replacement phones for my 6 month old, like new Droid, then they gave me a Droid 2 and extended my contract without my knowing, so I kicked and screamed and got the droid 2 exchanged for the Fascinate. So it is a little worrysome to me to think about frying another phone with a 2.2 update.
[Fascinate General] st0101:
We will have Froyo by the end of October. This came from MULTIPLE Verizon Reps.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
I'm not holding my breath for any release date. It will be out when it's out. The only big things I'm interested in are increased speed, USB tether, and enterprise security features, and since my phone is already quite fast, I have wifi tethering, and use Touchdown for proper Exchange connectivity, I have no problem waiting. I will be disappointed if it doesn't come out this year though.
[Fascinate General] kristopherw:
The Captivate just got Froyo leaked. Can we be far behind?

I can't post links yet. See thread ID 797282 from the Captivate forums.

Fingers crossed...
[Fascinate General] apthirdeye14:
It's definitely coming, but idk about end of October. Lol verizon reps don't know sh*t.
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
I hope it is coming soon. I can't wait for ROMs and kernels. And can you imagine how fast this will be with Froyo? It's already much faster on 2.1 than any phone I've used on 2.2, overclocked or not.
