Ok thought i d post back with some findings.

I'm using a pc to actualy watch these vids to better look for issues and isolate at what point the pauses and glitches are introduced. It seems that its having a hard time actually making the video. Not play back, because my pc plays back the crappy video just as crapy as my evo.

I got the video to stop freezing and pitching. I'm not sure what fixed it but I believe it was fixed by running a check risk on my SD card.

I noticed that everytime I connected my Evo to my pc via usb and used removable storage mode my windows 7 would ask if I wanted to scan and fix or not. I was telling it no, but after I did thus scan my videos want back to being pretty clear and not choppy.

Thought I'd share my findings.

Im currently using the new energy rom and I have used the audiopara. I just want to know if theres any other way to make the touch pro 2 louder because I feel that the TP2 can be louder

-Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] swaters3:
before I tried audiopara i used a program from warlock called increase volume 20% and it made it so loud that when i played music over the speakerphone it was too loud. I think that any louder would start too distort. I did find though that it increased the volume in the earpiece as well and for a while i had bad sound on phone calls. I uninstalled and installed audiopara but it didnt seem to do anything. I then reinstalled the increase volume 20% from warlock and the sound from the earpiece during phone calls seems fine. Try it and see what happens. I found the cab here on xda. Let me know your experience.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] itsm3omg:
i see, I will test the warlock program out. Can you send me a link, or a forum that u found it in?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] swaters3:

I have Fresh 3.4, just coming from cyanogen 6.0. I want the keyboard that comes with the cyanogen rom, it looks like a stock htc keyboard, but its not on Fresh.

The keyboard on the right it one that comes with fresh.

The keyboard on the left (dark gray) is the one I want.

Just wondering where I can find this keyboard, and how can I install it? I have an idea, which is opening up the cyanogen rom, and finding the keyboard. But I don't know how to install it into fresh. Thanks for the help!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acrazzyhobo:
For some reason the nandroid backup I made of the stock ROM before I flashed cognition has been corrupted. After installations and reboot it stays on att world phone screen. I would like to have a backup of the stock ROM so where can I download it? I don't have access to a computer therefore I can't use Odin. Am I screwed?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Komodo Rogue:
Actually the cognition download website has a JH7 OTA stock download link, I would give you the link but I can't post links yet because the system won't let me (in case of spamming). So I think you should be good! Although I dunno how you're going to get it onto your SD card, but I suck at understanding these things, someone else can probably tell you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acrazzyhobo:
Wow. I can't believe I overlooked this. Thank-you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Really?

Glad you found the link.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acrazzyhobo:
I just downloaded it directly from my phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Komodo Rogue:
How'd you do that if you couldn't get past the at&t bootup screen? Not doubting you, just curious.

Also, just so I know for my own personal knowledge, how DOES this work? Having a clean backup available on my phone may come in handy, and I definitely have the space for it on my SD card. If I download it on the browser, and it's on my SD card somewhere (wherever is the default download location), how do I add it to clockwork? If I go into ROM Manager I can see that I can click on install rom from sd card --> click the downloads file --> and then I suppose ROM manager would detect the JH7 rom (right?) but if I just downloaded it from the link and had it sitting on my sd card, it WOULDN'T be on clockwork's list if I went into recovery mode, would it? If not is there a way to easily do this right on my phone?

Sorry I know this is pretty basic stuff for most of the people on this forum but like I said before I'm not tech savvy. I just love gadgets :) This would give me piece of mind too, because I'm getting close to flashing cognition, which will be my first time (and perhaps only time, unless it gets crazy better after the source code for froyo on captivate comes out) flashing a new ROM.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acrazzyhobo:
Well see I was sill able to get in recovery mode, but if I didn't go into recovery mode it would stay on the at t boot screen. So no mater how many times I tried to restore it, it would always remain on the boot screen unless I went into recovery. So I flashed cognition from clockwork and downloaded it that way. For some reason none of my nandroid backups ever work. They always install but won't boot. Because of this I just created a folder with all the roms that I have in their .zip form. So if I ever want to flash a different rom I just go to clockwork recovery and instal from the sd. No backups.

[Droid 2 General] funkdoctor:
So, before I got a Droid 2 I checked out the iFixit site to check out the teardown, and see what this phone had going on. I finally got one, and I notice that everyone says that the Droid 2 cannot do 720p recording because it uses the 3620 processor....but when I checked out the IFixit site they show very clear pictures of a Droid 2 (with Verizon logo in plain view, so its definitely not a Milestone 2) and pictures of the 3630 processor. They clearly state it has a 3630 inside, as well as other sites I have seen.

Is it possible that Motorola/Verizon simply claimed the Droid 2 had a different processor to put a little bit of space between the Droid X and Droid 2?
[Droid 2 General] cmanns:
No it's certainly a different processor.
[Droid 2 General] tonyb81:
Unless ifixit is playing some photoshop tomfoolery, it does have the omap 3630.

If you look at that pic there is a number 0123-2615A right next the processor that is covered by something.

This pic shows the processor uncovered and the number 0123-2615a right next to it, and it says OMAP 3630.

Guys,

Just added a new sd card (2gb) on my SGS. Post adding the card on file manager external_sd is the 1gb card now but my internal nand memory and all the files which were in it have disappeared. I know removing the 2gb card will get me back my nand contents and also make external_sd as the 16gb memory. Question here is, is it not possible to have both the 2gb and the 16gb memory blocks and it's contents at my disposal from the phone itself?? Just like it is available when the phone is connected to the computer??

I tried this out a few days ago to see how easy it was to use and how well. It was surprisingly simple. Good app. Worked like a charm.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Bieka:
OK. First of all a big thanks Viper.

But -yes it IS a stupid question but i don't get it ;)- what does this application do beside from making a data.img with various sizes. I use android now for -i think it is- a long(er) time and just want to know what i can do to explore the System ;).

Cheers Bieka

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Bieka:
Uhm am i kickin' myself out if i ask what this (making various sizes of a data.img file) means?! ;) Is this the storage size android gets?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Jandyman:
You kno the way if you had an android device you would have sd storage and phone storage? and phone storage would be used for apps? well this data.img is lik a virtual phone memory, When you install apps they are stored on the data.img. And for alot of of ppl 256mb isnt enough, but unlike physical harware phone memory the data.img can be made bigger. understand?

Also a big tanks viper matrix, i was looking for a way to do this a couple weeks ago, i got it sorted by using someones modified rootfs to create a new data.img but this application will probly still come in handy :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Bieka:

Now i can say Thanks Viper for this aplication ;)^^ Great Job
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] bmhome1:
Worked GREAT expanding trusty months-old data.img from nearly filled up 256MB to glorious 1GB. Now Android reports memory is over 990MB!

Dead simple: run the .bat, point to data.img on SD, move slider to expand size and go. Recognized errors, corrected them, then set to it's task which took a few minutes. Done.

Superb tool, waaay too unknown to group.

hi!

i linked my thread to your tool if you don't mind.

posting this app in the hd2 forums would bring it a LOT of attention.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Captain_Throwback:
@Viper

Excellent work on these apps! I was easily able to resize my data.img. I also tried ext2explore, which works well extract items from a system.ext2. A few questions:

- Would it be possible to have the data.img resizer use standard sizes, like 524288 for 512MB, 786432 for 768MB, 1048576 for 1GB (I think you get the idea). It seems like the resizing sizes are a bit arbitrary - or is there some sort of correlation between the standard sizes and the ones selectable in the app? Or, is there a way to put these values in manually?

- In the ext2explore app, will the possibly to Copy/Cut/Paste ever be added (or drag & drop from Explorer)?

I would love to see these apps developed further :).

Again, great work!

P.S. I was hoping to be able to use ext2explore to add the BLAZN theme to the FRX03 build (see this thread) - that's when I realized I couldn't copy/paste.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] d0nate110:
Or you just install linux and make that all with one or two mouse clicks by your self :)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] d0nate110:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] mulletcutter:
making sure I understand, under sd card in settings....phone free space, this is what it does...makes that free space bigger? more storage.?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] agentfazexx:
Resized the img file from 512MB to 2 gigs, but I'm using the HD2 Nexus ROM, and it doesn't report the correct disk space usage. It still shows like 65MB free as it did before resizing. The file resized properly, but the phone doesn't report that.

Normal? If not, did I do something wrong? I followed the directions...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Increases the size of the data.img - basically where Android stores all user-specific data at the moment. So any apps you install will take up space here, as will the data that comes with said apps. It's really only a problem for people that install a ton of apps... never ran into an issue using the 256mb one myself.

Uhm... We can't really help you wiht some HD2 Nexus ROM... this is the TP2 section, we can help with XDAndroid dude.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] ivwonka:
I can't seem to navigate to my mobile device when I click "find file" while in activesync. So I connected as usb and then I could navigate to my sd card and select data.img

However, I keep getting an error when I slide it to 1032. So I tried to check mark the "only resize file" box and that seemed to complete okay. However, it didn't do anything for me when I booted xdandroid. Anyone else get an error? Options?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Viper Matrix Wireless:
What errors do you get?

Anything above 2GB is always quirky. There are usually problems that come with it due to Android support.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] agentfazexx:
Don't be so greedy, cap around 2 gigs. Anything above that, Android doesn't like all that much, aside from huge SD cards. Those are fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Seems every way I try to make a data.img even when using the tools included that make the 256MB data.img automatically that theres a problem w/ the recent Android build. Anytime I try to turn up the volume or choose a ringtone it freezes & crashes & doesnt play the sounds upon start. The older Android 2.2 build didnt do this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] bokechukwu1:
like an error that says it has trouble starting one of the components and says that i have to start it manually i re sized one data image and it says 2gb as far as the size but when i boot androidand look ft the phone storage it says i only have 300 mb left of internal memory
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
I thought journaled file systems are a BIG no-no on SD cards? The only time they're safe on flash-based storage devices is if they have a write-leveling scheme built-into the hardware - for example, high end ssd's...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] agentfazexx:
Maybe he meant ext2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Viper Matrix Wireless:
NO I meant ext3 for an HD2 not a TP2.

HD2 has something different that makes a TP2 incompatible.

On a TP2 if you create a ext3 it will actually jump back to ext2. It was programmed to do that when you run haret you'll see it happen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Right, because it wont read it properly till you run resize2fs & if you dont it will continue to see for ex. 512MB turned to 2GB w/o resize2fs it will see 512MB & 1536MB will be seen as non-formatted & it wont read that until resize2fs is used. You have the option to use the instructions I posted for command prompt. You can just cd (change directory) to the place where data.img maker is & place your data.img there too. Then run resize2fs -f data.img & it will complete & your done.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
I'm not sure what you're talking about. All I know is what I've heard, and journaled file systems on SD cards are not a good idea. You're asking to fry the card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Viper Matrix Wireless:
I've heard that as well & ext3 is disabled on the TP2 devices & devices that are in this project.

At first when HD2 users got Android they were also on ext2. But I dont pay much attention to the HD2 community.

But you can still create a ext3 filesystem & use it. I have many times. But theres really no use because when you start haret im guessing the rootfs is programmed to jump back to ext2. So that ext3 you created will be ext2 for the Android session.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] sad0felix:
As far as I know, EXT3 is nothing more than EXT2 with journaling.

Really something you'll never be able to take advantage of on a mobile, while surely being hit by disadvantages (like being little slower and ruining your SD more quickly).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Viper Matrix Wireless:
By memory card no but devices like G2, MT4G has ext3 filesystems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
So are we not talking about the port anymore?!? I thought we were talking about WinCE phones being ported to use Android... Like the TP2, HD2, etc...

AFAIK the only phone that has a true, full (public) NAND is the Vogue, which isn't really within the scope of our conversation here either...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Viper Matrix Wireless:
I was trying to point out that its possible for ext3 to be used to run Android. Now IDK exactly where this journaling kills SD Cards came from. I would think it may dim the life of the SD Card but it was also help w/ making things more stable as in the speeds per sec due to its constant journaling. I see it as a tuneup. ext3 should have more than just journaling.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] sad0felix:
No, it does not.

And more, and more, and more ...

All solid state memories used in practice are NANDs.

95% of them are MLCs, cheaper, slower, shorter life (1/10 of SLCs) ... I don't know if some phone out there uses SLC instead of MLC for internal memory, but surely SDs are MLC.

I mean, having to deal with journaling adds overhead to r/w.

As in every NAND, more writes == shorter life.

So I still don't see the point of journaling a phone FS.

Cheers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Viper Matrix Wireless:
But the NANDs are worse than SD cards because the devices NAND can go bad pretty quickly. Theres always a bunch of complaints of I flashed this & my device is now bricked. Also, if you dont even flash anything even hard resetting can screw up the NAND. But I always have my SD Card.

it also said this for ext3

A Journaling file system

Online file system growth

Htree indexing for larger directories. An HTree is a specialized version of a B-tree (not to be confused with the H tree fractal)

But we wont know if ext3 kills unless it was enabled & we could try it for ourselves.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
I just spoke with hastarin on IRC...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] sad0felix:
Hep, I guess we are messing it a little bit up, here, mate.

NAND is just how the block of cells are arranged in a flash memory.

The other way is NOR.

NAND is cheaper and worse, and is used on ALL consumer flash memories.

So phone internal storage, SD, CF, USB key and more; they are ALL nands.

MLC NANDS (MLC are the most common, SLC are used just in high price/performance SSDs) statistically have 5k to 10k writes.

"statistically" is a false friend, because we are talking about mean value per cell; as each chip contains billions of cells, it means that some of them could last even 10 times the mean value, and some couldn't even get to 1/10th, on the same chip. Depending on the chip quality, of course.

To go back on topic, purposely (and completely cluelessly in case of journaling) increasing by lots the number of writes, will just damage your flash.

Now, you can do whatever you want with yours, but when you will start having corrupted blocks, do not say we didn't tell you :P

Cheers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Couldnt even use ext4 anyhow. If you run tests on a G2 like back when ppl were complaining bout the space missing. It showed a ext3 on an eMMC from Sandisk.

I've googled ext3 hd2 & multiple things have come up with ppl asking how to do this for ubuntu & many others. There was one build from the myTouch 4G I looked into it was for the HD2 & Nexus One I think it was by Dark something.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] ivwonka:
Okay, I finally got it to work! Android now thinks I have 1.5 GB free internal phone space! Hooray! It was giving me that low space notification (I only had 14 mb left). I didn't do anything different, just kept trying it and it finally worked.

I got to thinking though about what I might be doing wrong and I realized that the instructions still have some assumptions that someone may do incorrectly. I was using WinXP. I am sure you could put your sd card in a card reader, but I plugged my phone in (while it was running windows, not android). While running toporesize.bat, I couldn't navigate to my sd card unless it was connected as "disk drive." I got errors several times (don't checkmark that "resize file only box"). Sometimes it would just freeze. I would close it, then open it back up and it thought it had changed the data.img size, but I would run xdandroid and nothing had changed. Eventually, it worked. Took about 2 mins when it ran correctly.

Thanks for this great tool! Now I can keep installing more apps! it still amazes me how well this all works.
