i just googled XFS and i found that

for me this can be considered bad. as if the fsck is not run at boot time then there might be unknown data corruption which in the long run could be fatal.

if its possible to compile a script to run on fsck on boot then this would be a nice way of getting apps2sd working.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] goodwin_c:
tested right now, ext2 module works fine if partition is mounted as read-only. but when it mounted as read-write (just mounted, new, unused partition) - phone does not go to deep sleep
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] goodwin_c:
if anybody need, here working modules and .zip's with working apps2ext for cyanogenmod
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] lalit79:
so is the sleep bug when ext2 is mounted no more there?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] goodwin_c:
yep, all working just fine
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
Some instruction please!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] goodwin_c:
partition your SD card (first partition fat32, second - ext2 for apps2ext), apply zip. very simple ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cronot:
Hey, just looked at the modules.zip. Turns out it really isn't ext2, but ext4! Awesome! Is it working well? Is it fast?

EDIT:

Also, I see you're mounting the partition on SD during the init.d phase. I heard it would be better to set it up as early as possible, i.e., directly on sh_hijack, before it hands execution to 2nd-init. Comments?

EDIT2:

Oh, one more thing: Are any of these modules loadable on OR (that uses kernel 2.6.29)? I see you're bundling the modules on the apps2d_*.zips, so maybe modules.zip containing only the modules are the ones compiled against kernel 2.6.29? I know, I could've looked that myself, I'm just a bit busy right now to mess around with my phone at moment, sorry for the lazyness... ;-)

EDIT3:

Ok, I'm confused. The modules bundled in the zip files are for ext4 (or at least they are named like so), but there are a bunch of libraries inside for ext2, and the updater-script refers to ext2.ko while setting up permissions. Is that a typo or what?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] goodwin_c:
cronot

modules compiled for latest kernel leak (2.6.32), and yes - this is ext4 modules, but it works well with ext2 partition (and i belive also for ext3, ext4)

about files inside .zip's - there is libs for e2fsck (it works for ext2 partition, about higher ext* i don't tested it. you can do it if you want ;) )

about update-script - my mistake, this was old script for ext2 modules, in attach - fixed zip's
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
Good work, goodwin_c!

As I tested the ext3 and ext4 modules only with journalled file systems, I missed that the current ext4.ko build actually seems to work quite well when used with pure ext2 partition.

Therefore just a warning - don't try to use the ext4.ko module to mount an ext partition that contains a journal, the writing to it will not work.

[EDIT] the stripped ext4 modules (to preserve the resources) are attached
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] cronot:
Any chance a version of these modules could be compiled against the 2.6.29 kernel? That would help a lot when doing maintainance tasks on OpenRecovery are needed...

EDIT:

Oh, scratch that... Just thought about kabaldan's comment, if journalling doesn't work, then one can mount the ext4 partition as an ext2 partition (which OR has support for) without problems, so ext4 on OR is not really needed (yet) as it is.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juandpineiro:
Not working here

This is just not working for me.

Running kabaldan's CM6 (11.01.15), created an ext2 partition on SD card, app2sd_full.zip and... nothing happened.

Checked with Root Explorer. Modules and init scripts are there (/system/etc/init.d and /system/lib/modules) but neither the apps or dalvik-cache moved. Am I missing something? :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] manasgirdhar:
when i manually try to mount it i get the error:no such device.whereas there is an ext partition.i see the mmcblk0p2 in dev/block and when i mount it in open recovery it mounts?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
You have to mount the ext2 partition with -t auto (it will be mounted as ext4)

-t ext2 will not work

Remember, this ext4.ko way of mounting ext2 partition is still more a hack than a proper solution, but I guess it'll have to do it, until the proper kernel config will be released as part of the source release by Motorola.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] manasgirdhar:
Yup.got it to work manually in your latest Rom.the one on 15th jan if i am not mistaken by the following:-

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext

but how do i automatically mount it on startup?i am new to linux and android so still learning stuff.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] juandpineiro:
Ok I feel very stupid by now haha!

All I had to do to make it work from boot was to create a folder in /system called "sd" (/system/sd) then applied the update and after reboot it was done :D

Figured it out reading the apps2sd script, it aumotically mounts the ext2 partition to /system/sd, so it just fails if there isn't such a directory.

Working on CM6 11.01.15

Thanks goodwin_c
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
@goodwin_c

why not moving whole /data to sd (ext2)? or at least include /data/data

beside getting more free memory, i think using ext2 will gain more read and write speed. and /data/data have many read/write access, for preferences, cache, etc.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ZS-Man:
tun.ko ?

Hi, is possible make tun.ko working with this kernel?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
ZS-Man: as soon as Motorola will release the 2.2 source, yes. (in the first place we need the kernel config that has been used to compile the particular kernel).

bijixda: NAND should be faster than the SD card and the data partition is being used earlier than the SD card partitions are mounted...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
@kabaldan you're right :)

i have tried it, write speed on sdcard is slow, even on ext2....
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
@goodwin_c

just a litle suggestion to your script,

set permission of /system/sd to 111

so it wont auto mounted on ubuntu, multiple mount of ext2 will lead data corruption

What's diference betwen use ext2 and normal appd2sd mode in fat32? That mode using bult in app manager or using app admin to move apps to sd.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSpiritof69:
The stock 2.2 Apps2SD uses crypted containers for apps stored on SD, ext2 doesn't
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] flusshd:
The apps that are installed on fat32 will be unable to run when you are using the SD in Memory Card Access mode (also called Mass Storage mode) via USB cable. In case that an app on fat32 is running, then you just plug the phone to your laptop or PC via USB cable under Mass Storage mode, that app will be force stopped.

Other than fat32, apps on Ext DOESNT depend on Mass Storage mode, they ALWAYS run normally
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] grojas:
Yes!!. And work like a charm on CM6 11.01.28

Well done goodwin_c!...and thank you!

I would like to install the Cyanogen Mod 7 for the Milestone, but wonder if the above "hack" will work with that version of Cyanogen Mod? I do realize that version 7 is not a final and is in Alpha stage. Just wondering if anyone has any info on this. Thank you. Oh, and would I install this hack through OR? And if so should I use GOT or Androidiani? And which file would I use? Sorry, trying to make sense of this all.

This was from Goodwin_C. Hope you dont mind me copying this.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
I had posted this is the CM612 thread but maybe it's more apt over here....

Recently I decided to install CM from scratch (wiping everything - I had app2ext working fine)

I installed the latest CM612. Booted into Android and its all good. All my apps were gone of course but the app2ext wasn't working.

So I booted into open recovery and from AOR's console I saw that the system/sd folder was gone meaning that reinstalling CM612 will delete the system/sd folder

I then installed the app2sd update and went to AOR's console again.

The sd folder was NOT created.

So I created the sd folder from the console itself.

Just in case, I ran the app2sd update again.

I booted into Android and app2ext was working fine

Now what was REALLY WEIRD was that all my apps were back!

I don't get it... the sd folder was GONE... my apps were GONE...

I recreated the sd folder... reinstalled the app2sd update.. and my apps CAME BACK?

Also, checking the systm/sd/app folder with ES explorer, I saw that I have 2 copies of almost every app in there! (ie. Qaudrant-1.apk, Quadrant-2.apk, etc) This must be because I had previously reinstalled most apps with Titanium backup the last time I did a clean install. I probably did that before recreating the sd folder which resulted in having 2 copies of most apks - the original ones that magically came back and the ones restored with Titanium.

So.. it's almost like recreating the sd folder actually "undeletes" the apps that were in the system/sd/app folder that the CM reinstall "deleted".

How/why does this happen?

Obviously, it happened to me twice...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
The original apks are in your sdcard ext2. /system/sd is only a mouny point or you can say placeholder. Once created, mounting will be successful and your app back

Since now official 2.2 is out, is there any chance of getting a properly compiled tun.ko module for the new, now official, kernel?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] kabaldan:
The kernel sources have not been released yet. It's 11 days since I asked for them, no response so far.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] leobg:
Thanks kabaldan! Now there should be no reason for Motorola not to publish them - right (they are even obligated to do so - right)

Once that obstacle gets overcome, the Milestone will be excellent workhorse again!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] wisefreakz:
@All: This might sound a little noob, but inform/asking wont hurt.

Hi Guys,

Since no new topic was created regarding the modules for this kernel. i decided to post here.

The CIFS.KO is working fine with the CifsManager that is on Nadlabak web page. The only thing is that you need to load the slow-work.ko module before or else the cifs.ko module will fail to load.

Will keep testing the other modules and let you guys know.

Have you tried loading the slow-work.ko before the tun.ko, i thing it is required.

And what about SWAP module? :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] tmottabr:
Swap on a smart? dont think it is a google ideia... Swap use too much I/O and would kill you SD or internal memory in a bit... Beside that it adds delays in operations that would not be aceptable in a mobile phone enviroment (image that when your phone is ringing android need to get the dialer from the swap memory because angry birds took the whole memory, not something you want to see happening...)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] bijixda:
Comp cache or zwap would be great, it work by compressing RAM on the fly. But sadly milestone kernel compiled with CONFIG SWAP off which is required :(

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archer007:
Is Cyanogenmod the only Froyo option for the CDMA Hero? I'm thinking of upgrading from the Sprint 2.1 firmware. I have several questions:

Really Important:

Can I downgrade to the original Sprint 2.1 firmware without breaking anything? I really don't want an expensive phone-shaped paperweight if anything goes wrong.

Can I keep the HTC sense UI (I only want the main menu dialer anyway)? I saw that thread saying Sense 2.2 is about 85% done.

Somewhat Important:

Can I install the wifi tethering app on 2.2 Cyanogenmod?

Does Sprint notice if you tether and cut you off?

Do I have to root my phone?

Isn't giving root to potentially malicious apps a bad idea?

Is giving root on a per-request basis?

Can I remove the stupid Sprint boot animation?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t12icky0:

And you can :) All you'd have to do is RUU
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
If all you want from Sense is the dialer, there is always Dialer One on the Market. I have been running more AOSP-based ROMs than I ever really ran Sense, so when I finally got bored with the stock dialer and gave it a shot, I didn't even notice it was supposed to replicate the Sense dialer, ha. It's a hell of a lot more customizable, and I think it's much "cleaner" looking overall (especially if you have it set to hide the green dial button in the contact list, and NOT have the keypad when the dialer is open by default, and taking up at least half the screen).

That Wildfire port is old. This is the current ongoing 2.2 Sense port, if you're into that sort of thing: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834840

Yes, the Hero really can't install full Flash 10.1 because the default specs just won't handle Flash. Supposedly its possible with some overclocking and/or JIT enabled, but even then most ppl say it's not perfect.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
You can root with .7. I used Regaw's last time I did after an ruu to .7 build. There are great Gingerbread roms now. Aosp flavored like Jaybob's Rom which has the newest .35 kernel baked in; cm7 has begun using that kernel in their builds as well ( although it might not be the newest yet). You can download titanium backup to back up apps and data (sms too). Just follow the directions in the op of whatever Rom you are looking to install.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archer007:
It worked! That was nice and painless, just don't have your Hero plugged into a USB hub with a dodgy cord like I did. I'm going to go and disable OTA updates as described in the old tutorial. Should I install Cyanogenmod or aosp? It looks like some of the Hero wiki links are pretty dated now, and the only aosp 2.3 link is to a 2.3 aosp labeled unstable and the thread mentioning that the dev quit working on it. I'd love a recommendation on how to get a stable 2.3 install running, I mostly want Exchange sync and tethering.
