Question about internal storage space?

I just flashed the odex rom with a2sd and reinstalled my apps and data and it says that I have only 93.80MB of internal phone storage. So I was wondering if I did a nandroid backup and then did a wipe of Dalvik Cache if this will give me the storage (130MB) that some people are getting or will that mess up the installed rom?

I was also wondering if a2sd is working and I read to use this command (a2sd check) in Android Commander and here are the results so I think it is working? How can I tell what apps are running in the internal storage or on my sd card?

I think I've finally figured it out. I'm going to test it thoroughly and try flashing through different recoveries.

It appears that Mediafire might be the culprit here. I'm going to host it on Dropbox instead :)

Alright, Nandroid and give it a shot, tell if it flashes, I've tested this twice with both RA and Clockwork :) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/345001/Andr....A2SD-Update3.1 Png-ZipAlign - Liquid@XDA.zip
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Also, I hate to advertise this in this thread, but I've been heavily inspired by Nfinite to build a ROM based on his. If you're interested in testing, check it out here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=817774). It's based roughly on the optimized builds I've been attempting to get up to speed. Currently, there's no download links, because I'm fishing for some interest :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Update:browser fc'd but cleared browser cache seemed to fix

downloaded will report :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Your report indicates that everything's running as it should be, per the stock settings. The reason you're not seeing 130+ meg free is because you still have dalvik running in system memory. If you want to see your free memory jump to 130 or more, you need to either run "a2sd cachesd" to move dalvik to the sd card, or "a2sd cachepart" to move dalvik to the internal cache partition.

I have a slow (class 2) sd card and am afraid that moving dalvik to the card will slow down my phone, so I ran the "a2sd cachepart" command instead. I now have 137 meg free, and my phone is fast as ever.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jonmos75:
Thanks for the help for that I now have 133MB of internal space. I have a 8GB class 4 card but I don't know if that is fast enough to move dalvik to the sd card.

One more issue my battery went from fully charged at 7:00am down to 18% left at 12:00pm and I had to plug it back in to charge. It was running on bluetooth for aprox 2hrs, I like football so I have 3-4 apps that are getting data on upcoming and current games, scores, and news feeds ect. So I was looking around the threads for some battery manager and came up with (JuiceDefender, SetCPU, and Collins tweak) anybody have an suggestions on which one is better and why, or if you have a different solution to my battery issue.

Thanks for any help you can give.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] indiscriminant:
Nfinite I just want to thank you for this rom and all your work on the sense roms in the past. I have been running your roms since I started rooting a couple months back and they have always provided a solid experience.

This one is about as good as it gets for someone like me, and until you have a Froyo sense Rom I have no need to change again. With this Rom I am getting great speed, have tons of space with the A2SD function, and have been routinely getting fantastic battery life compared to others. I am sitting at 44% after 15 hours with 5 hours of up time from music/calls/newsroom. Thats just good times.

Thanks again. I will be donating to help the cause shortly.

just downloaded and tried to flash but the the same error others reported with the E: verification.

When you have the time do you thing you can make a Flashable Live Wallpaper?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Give the ROM in my sig a shot instead.

EDIT: Please don't hesitate to use Nfinite's ROM, I don't mean to **** on his ROM in his thread, in fact, this ROM is fantastic as is. But if you've got any questions about my ROM, please put em in my thread, to respect Nfinite, thanks!

##775# Does not work

I love the ODEX/A2SD Rom--best Hero ROM I've seen yet. One problem--I put this ROM in a new Hero (bought from a third party and was totally stock 2.1), rooted it with Androot and flashed this ROM. This phone is not yet activated on my account--my existing Hero is still in use.

I can get ##3282# to work on the new Hero, but ##775# does not work. Does this mean I cannot activate this new Hero? Any ideas what I can do?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
Well I know they removed some of the codes in the .7 release, that may be one of them, if this is the case, then just do a nanadroid of it andd install my .6 rom just long enough to get activaction and then restore your nandroid
[Hero CDMA Android Development] netbucks:
Thanks for the quick reply---interestingly, I see that ##786# and ##33284# both work, along with ##3282# Perhaps you are right--they may have removed some codes and we might not need ##775# to activate? Has anyone else noticed that ##775# is missing?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] seanism:
I am using clockwork and I get the error installation aborted due it saying 'no space left on device'

Ive wiped and redone the installation a few times with different downloads. If I restart it appears to work though? Is it going to act glitchy or am I ok?

update: so far so good. Called and made call. Strange it keeps giving me that error though. TO re root the phone do I just follow the normal HOWTO root your phone instructions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I would switch to a different recovery
[Hero CDMA Android Development] scifan:
Hmmm... So, I decided to re-install from the base image... I don't use A2SD, so I actually loaded the non a2sd version of the ODEX version of this rom...

I'm trying to figure out why my phone would think it was in Singapore?!?!

I've never been even close to singapore...

Thoughts?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] customhdrider:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] shilent:
Has anyone tested their micro SD card performance after installing this ROM or any other custom ROM? My write speed performance is less than half when using this ROM compared to stock. I've tested on 2 difference Hero's and the stock SD card and a class 10 SD card.

dalvic to cache?

I'm running .7 odex version of this rom, but like some others the phone only shows <100megs system memory free. Do I need to run an adb command to move dalvic to cache or is that something I can do on the phone itself?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
It's not an adb command that moves dalvik to cache, it's an a2sd command.

To move dalvik to the sd card, run a2sd cachesd.

To move dalvik to internal partition, run a2sd cachepart.

Either command will open up about 50 meg of additional system memory.

To run either of those commands, you will need to run adb shell first.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] djkoolk:
from 23.2 MB its now 115mb lolz

Thanks a lot man
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Rivas123:
The only prob I keep running into is that some apps download fine and others say insufficient memory even though I have enough. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
ae you usiing mtd partitions if so then you need to increase your cache size, it is failing due to not enough room for unpacking and installing

I can't get WiFi to work

I've been playing with this ROM for the last two days and simply can't get wifi to work.

I've seen that a few other people have had the same problem, so I tried some of the things they tried. I tried both the ODEX and deoxed versions. I've tried installing NFX's .6 ROM first, then wiping just the Dalvik cache, and then installing the .7 ROM. I've tried doing the full erase twice (system reset, ext partition, and dalvik) and reinstalling. I've tried installing one of the alternate kernels, too. But no matter what I do, WiFi won't work.

This is with the original Sprint Hero (one of the first ones made, without the "With Google" on the back, in case that matters).

Anybody have any other ideas on how to get this ROM to work with wifi? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] synaptyc:
I have my parents Heroes running this ROM. Everything runs perfectly except GPS.

I triple checked to make sure GPS was enabled everywhere in Android.

Apps that use GPS initiate the GPS radio, but don't actually use the information.

To test, I downloaded "COMPASS" from the market and loaded the GPS theme.

It shows "0/9" satellites in use. It sees plenty of satellites but doesn't use the info at all.

Google Maps & Navigation always reports "Searching for GPS".

The GPS icon shows on the Notification bar up top and blinks with signal...

This happens on both phones. Reboot doesn't help.

Any tips?

(note: running the same apps on my Eris reports 10/10 satellites used and actually gives GPS info... not just dashes while it waits for info)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nfinitefx45:
I dont now what to tell you guys as I use this rom daily when not working on froyo and use my wifi and gps all the time.

maybe try a full wipe including the sdcard as there may be configs left behind that are causing issues with my rom.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cephraim:
Absolutely perfect ROM! No problems with GPS or WiFi. Loving it! Thanks NFinite!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] digitalnirvana:
Er never mind it now shows 146 MB internal memory so I guess it worked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Hippie459MN:
Been using this for a while myself and WiFi and GPS work perfect here as well. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zeropants:
I'm dropping battery on this quite a bit using brainfuct's newest kernel. Any suggestions on something better to use with this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zeropants:
I just saw a stable kernel was released today. I just loaded that and we'll see how it goes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Do you use the odex or deodex ver.? Thx for evrything
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Zenulator's kernels would probably be best :)

Sent from my hero running froyo... take that Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lisnupjr:
Quick obvious question

does your rom have a quick reboot?

if not do you know of anyones rom that does. I'm coming up with no results minus froyo, which i dont want to go to yet.

thanks, you - nfinitefx45 - are one who always helps and i couldn't thank you enough.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DubsideWICKED:
i have the ODEXED version A2sd Update3 an been thinking about the DEODEXED version A2sd Update3 version so i can have expresso an do what i want with it

is there a big performance loss or memory loss? whats the pro an con between the 2

also can i just flash the deodex over the odex or do i have to wipe first
[Hero CDMA Android Development] customhdrider:
Always do full wipe before changing roms,,do a nandroid backup,then wipe/factory reset,,flash your rom,,
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DubsideWICKED:
problems with deodex

I got what i wanted to work nvm, an now i only have 101mb with deodex version , why is that i had a 140mb with the odex version

any one kno any good theme sites for our phone
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LidoShuffle:
Yes, thanks. Up to 118mb free now!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
so what is weird about odexing it makes the /system larger while removing the classes.dex from all your files so they arent stored in the dalvik-cache which is on the /data partition.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694597

Dzo (the guy who ported android to the vogue) posted this thread a while back that should shed some light on what odexing is, and the drawbacks to it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cooolone2:
Hmmm... I tell you what, I've been running the original but rooted 2.1 stock release by Damage and I came back to xda to see how things have progressed with the Hero. I found this thread and READ the ENTIRE 93 pages so far and can tell you that I am totally stoked to load this Rom prior to even doing it! I love the Sense UI and is why I have kept with the stock rom and this is certainly to my liking.

I'm amazed constantly by the Dev community and all they do for us... Users.

In advance NFX I would like to thank you for all the hard work you've done here to extend the life of the Hero and it's enjoyment by us loyalist's, lmao... I too have been ready for an upgrade, but really love the Hero and haven't yet seen any upgrade worthy of replacing it. I would be totally happy if they just made a new Hero, same size, snap dragon processor and an AMOLED screen, lolz. Rumor is there is one coming Sprint's way in the new year, we'll see and that is for other threads anyway.

So here I go all... jumping in the pool and going to update my phone to this Rom, I'll definitely stop back and let you all know how it went!

Ok, just a silly question, nothing really for the ROM per say.

ROM loaded fine, everything is awesome, WiFi, etc., and I restored all my apps, settings, contacts, etc., via Titanium Backup.

Question is this... is that the best way (Titanium)?

Should I have replaced all my apps by re-installing them from the market (paid apps as well)? Just curious and my concern is that by restoring from the backups (older rom), have I written over anything like configurations or files that would effect the performance or anything on this newer ROM?

Like I said, lol, silly question, all is working fine, awesome work NFX!!!

Regards,

:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
It won't ;)

Sent from my hero running froyo... take that Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Hey cooolone2, great to see you over here! :)

I've been using the paid version of Titanium Backup for all my app restoring needs (including paid apps), and it's never let me down. It works transparently with a2sd too, which I really like.

The free version of TB should do you fine if you don't want to pay for it, but it runs somewhat slower, and the automated batch restore feature is disabled (which means you have to keep tapping the "Accept" button for each app during a batch restore).

EDIT: To re-establish the market links after restoring all your apps, just download anything from the market and all your links will reappear. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] igtheactt1:
Does this rom come with expresso? If not where would I get it...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
This is a Froyo rom, not espresso :p
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cooolone2:
Heyyyy... Nice to see you too, been here a while but quietly, lol.

Thanks for the heads-up on the links, wasn't really worried about them, but did notice they were broken. I have the paid Titanium and enjoy supporting the dev's, like NFX is gonna get a six-pack on me here for his efforts which I'm sure is mostly unrewarded, lol. Titanium worked awesome, I was just curious if I should worry about writing over stuff in settings or whatnot by doing a restore from an earlier release, thereby negating the updated Rom.

It's all good though! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] igtheactt1:
Umm isn't froyo the codename for 2.2?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Oops :o Thought I was on the 2.2 beta *runs in dismay* Sorry
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Oops, I forgot all about that part of your post.

Titanium Backup does an admirable job of protecting against accidentally overwriting existing user apps with earlier releases. In Batch mode of TB, there's an option to restore missing apps, and another option to restore newer versions of user apps. Using both of those options will restore all of your missing and newer apps. Just don't use "restore all apps with data".

As far as system settings, I'm as afraid of overwriting something important as you are, so I individually select the items I want batch-restored from the "restore missing apps + all system data" list, and I try not to be too greedy! ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] igtheactt1:
Lol all good
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bsmith1051:
Cool, hadn't heard that rumor yet. Unfortunately, that looks like another hw keyboard model. What I really want is a "Droid Incredible" type phone from Sprint, i.e., mid-level slab. Any other rumors? I'm considering the new LG Optimus now as it seems to be getting good reviews. I think it's funny: the reviews all say it's faster than they expected, but none draw the conclusion that it's because it has 512 MB RAM whereas all the other 'comparable' phones, e.g. the HTC Hero, only have 256 MB.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cooolone2:
Cool, thanks for the info!

Oooooops! ARrrrgh!!! #$%#@%^@ Already did that, lol, no worries, I'll just do a wipe and start over, probably when the Turkey is digesting, I might not have down time for the phone till then, thanks again for the heads-up.

Hmmmm, I started this way actually, but I couldn't find what the Contact's info was stored/backed up in, so eventually I gave up and just did the restore all apps/data thingy and got everything back. So, I will play with it a few times, restoring from backups and such to see how it looks till I get it right.

ROM is awesome though, I had about 45 megs left on the Hero, after installing this and moving the Davlik to Cache, reinstalling all the apps/data I have almost 90 megs! :) It's smooth and no glitches, I know is basic, but I'm a vanilla kinda guy, so works for me.

Thanks again!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
id love to have the latest update. i hda the .7 official and updated OTA and was then able to root the new update.

then i flashed this rom, odex version and my device retained the new baseband and new pri that came with the ota update. still wouldnt mind having the latest...

ok I need to get some sleep , but I will hopefully post the new rom tomorrow morning before I leave for work, if not as soon as I get in after work I will post it.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] tailsthecat3:
dude sleep

haha
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ccrosno:
Yep, Take your time. I was able to root with SuperOneClick and install RomManager. Runs pretty smooth. The bloat is not near as much as with the last 2 builds. Just need a new S-off method (due to the new radio), a deodexed version and a new kernel (your posted kernels may work, havent tested them yet.

Edit: Well maybe I am wrong. I had root access until I rebooted now its gone. I will re-root the longer way. Sorry
