maybe its just subjective, but i have this too

i exchanged

from /data/app on btrfs to >> /data/app on ext4

and

from /data/data on ext4 to >> /data/data on btrfs

and its just better. i cannot really say why but as you said "save button", or this "application is getting su permissions", etc is better and more comfortable

Hi !

I have installed ReflexTSenseHD_1.4.1_Sense_DHD_2.2_FRF91_A2SD+

+ btrfs kernel, but

what should I do with the 40data2btrfs ?

adb push 40data2btrfs.txt /system/etc/init.d/01data ???

thanks
[Desire Android Development] melethron:
Ok, so you also feel improvements considering lags when btrfs is used for /data/data. Well actually this is REALLY strange since i have read more test about sqlite performance of btrfs and in theory this should SUCK heavy ......

Actually the lags should even double in time .....

The only explanation for the better results me and you are having so far would be that our sd-card don't use a FTL. Supercurio of sgs devs said that this can be the case for cheap sd-cards (below class 6).

Then all the improvment would come from the "copy on write" structure of btrfs. This would mean for a really small file that gets overwritten:

-Ext 4 updates the journal and overwrites the file. This would then lead to two block erases. 1 where the journal is and 1 were the data is overwritten.

=> 2 block erases min....

-btrfs on the other side writes the new data first (including meta data) to a new sector and thus a a new block on the sd-card. This means it either needs no block erase or only one.

=> 0 or 1 block erase.

If this assumption would be true we should get different results for different sd-cards.

Cheap microSD-cards will profit from btrfs and it will even increase the lifetime of the sd-card.

Expensive microSD-cards will get a worse performance because the ftl will write the data to another blocks on its own.

Let me guess then. You have a cheap class 2 microSD?

In general yes. ReflexHD doesn't use sd-ext for installation. BUT you also have to take care of the following:

-you MUST already have the partition created in btrfs.

-you MUST make sure that it doesnt install to sd-ext (this is ok for ReflexHD)

-you MUST remove the app2sd script /system/etc/init.d/03stuff2sd

-you MUST create the folder /system/data_internal

These step are necessary for all ROMs. The app2sd script in init.d might also have a different name like 40a2sd or something.

After a quick look in reflexHD this is all i think. But i cant have a deep look in every ROM to provide installation advice. In general one should look at the ROM himself and make sure the above fits.

You can also wait cause i make a HD rom for btrfs atm. All you need then is btrfs partition already.
[Desire Android Development] balthor80:
Thanks, I will try, waiting your HD ROm !!

The wifi on my 101 keeps dropping frequently. I know its not my router, as I have 2 laptops, a desktop, 2 nexus one's, and google tv all running without problem on the wifi in the same locations as I've tried the 101.

It seems to drop every time it comes out of sleep and then every few minutes even while using the device. Tried spare parts, but still no success.

Any thoughts?

I have never dropped WiFi with WPA/WPA2 PSK.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoonPhantasm:
Same. I'm using WPA2. Check out with wifi analyzer (from market) or similar apks if your wifi is using the same overlapping channel with others around you and ensure your signal strength is not too weak to the device.

May need to tweak the signal strength on your router to make it stronger otherwise, and change the channel to a free channel..
[G2 and Desire Z General] hamish909:
I don't think it's a problem specific to me, but to all Android phones.

I find there are three scrolling/touch screen issues compared to iphone 4.

1) I'm now using Desire Z at 1.4ghz, but if I compare scrolling smoothness e.g. in Gallery or in Internet web page to scrolling on the iphone 4, iphone 4 is a lot smoother and easy on the eye.

2) Also, there is always a like a split second delay when trying to scroll. e.g. you flick the finger, then a split second later it starts to scroll. It's a minor thing yes but it's a bit annoying. You don't get anything like this in iphone 4. However, in the developer app "Multitouch Vis Test" it shows the touchscreen actually reacts straight away... so that seems to be a software issue within Android

3) Another thing, the phone doesn't respond to very fast flicks.

A test on the Multitouch Vis Test confirmed this. If I flick fast, only one point of the screen is registered, but no more - meaning that screen will not scroll.

On the iphone 4 there are no such issues like these.

Do you all agree?
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
Well, it is Apple, all their devices have little lag. Until the new device comes out and they cripple it with an update.

I think Android wasn't designed as much for style (till Gingerbread) or speed. But for usability. Froyo made it faster.

Any phone with an OS designed for it and it alone will be faster than a "Here, have this, put it on a phone" OS. The G1, N1 and NS will probably be a bit faster than a Desire Z because the OS updates were designed for them. Or whatever, I'm just rambling on... :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] rewen:
I would have to completely agree that things just aren't as fluid and quick as iPhone, however Android is not yet polished and was never meant to be all about beauty. I'm sure it will come in time but for now it's about the endless functionality.

Apple is more about a pretty, but sterile environment. They'll always look pretty and run smoothly, but you'll have them restricting you in every way possible. Which can be a good thing for a lot of people (especially those who are not techy). I would never trade my Android for an iPhone, but I do wish that it ran as fluid.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddotpatel:
I have always been pretty happy with the scroll speed, haven't used an Iphone much though.

.... But have you tried Launcher pro with the elastic scrolling on and min scroll speed set to max? Give it a try.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rewen:
I thinks it's more the smoothness and consistency than the speed that is the issue. There is a stutter in most programs and it can seem quite jerky on menus with images that load as you scroll.
[G2 and Desire Z General] htc fan89:
At least we don't get dumb gray checker board patterns when scrolling fast
[G2 and Desire Z General] D3LTA9:
Dont agree sorry. Scrolling seems fine to me, and as mentioned above i would trade slightly worse scrolling/touch input for actually being able to use the hardware i paid for how i want to. Only used my flatmates iphone 4 for a short period of time though (then got bored haha) so may not have used it long enuf to notice.
[G2 and Desire Z General] htc fan89:
That's weird when I used my iPhone 4 I got checkers when zooming in or scrolling. It was so annoying made me miss Android
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
I had some of the 'lag' that you mention while using the stock ROM that my device shipped with (HTC Sense 2.0 over Froyo) The stock ROM seemed to be built around beauty rather than function. It looked great but consequently slowed my device.

Since flashing CM 6.1, the device is much more responsive and I have no lag. That is without overclocking. When overclocked, the device is that much more amazing.

I have not played around with the new Iphone 4 much but when comparing my device to my girlfriends Iphone 3GS, the Desire Z blows it out of the water.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dietotherhythm:
well you can't really compare them. iOS 4 is designed to run a more simple os overall. For the longest time iphone didn't have multitasking which made android appear to be "sluggish" but if you dissect an iphone's hardware with an android phone, you will see that specs today are similar and on some androids even better. Hypothetically I believe that if you were able to port ios 4 to a desire z or g2, you'd probably see better performance that the iphone itself.
[G2 and Desire Z General] NXUS:
I completely agree. That's one thing I miss from the iPhone, the smoothness of the scrolling and ui polish.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] btate0121:
I dropped my slide in the toilet this morning... how cliche. I'm at work now with no dry rice handy and I have my phone sitting about 6 inches from my space heater.

Sitting in front of the heater the phone is fine, but when i remove it.. the screen starts to look "steamy" (see pic below).

is this ok? should I NOT be doing this? or is this just the water reacting to the heat and dissipating. I have no idea.. everything I've read says use alcohol or rice.. i have niether around. i'm going home on my lunch break tho to give it a rice bath for a few hours.

I put my dunce hat on momentarily and booted the thing. When I first pulled it out of the water everything worked except the buttons (keyboard, home, search/genius, menu and back). after letting it sit in front of the heater... everything SEEMS to work. i didn't play with it very long because i noticed the screen fogging up and thought it best to remove the battery again. That being said.. the heater seems to be working.

help please and thank you.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] btate0121:
In case someone is keeping up with this...

UPDATE: I got one of the screws off on the back of the display and am using a small flat tip screw driver to prop it open in front of the heater. i just picked it up and it definitely took a LOT longer for the steam to show up... and there was definitely less of it.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] droopypillow:
I did the same thing to mine last week..I just took the battery and sim card out and let it sit over night.. the next morning I turned it back on and the screen looked like that for a few days and I had problems with a few keys not working and it randomly turning itself up and down..but after about a week its all back to normal without rice or alcohol
[myTouch 3G Slide General] btate0121:
I'm at 100% now. after prying the display open and a little time in front of the heater my phone is back on it's feet. No problems whatsoever. *Knocks on wood*

It does not matter with slides anymore...both my stickers were red and you could visibly see water under the screen and store gave me a brand new one..they said no matter what the will give you a new one at the store..not to call customer service
[myTouch 3G Slide General] xoombie503:
Sweet I didn't know that
[myTouch 3G Slide General] htccraze:
Just incase this happens again or 2 someone else.

This happened 2 me as well & what I did was I took the battery, sd & sim out asap & didnt turn it on till its had time 2 dry out some. (24hr, min) I stuck it in a

cup

of rice (not flat) & It ended up taking almost a week before it was 100% functional. By that time t-mobile offered me a replacement phone and said if they found water damage they would need 2 bill me $100 for an out of warranty exchange. That was 6 months ago and the water damage sticker was clearly red but they never billed me the $100.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] [hfm]:
You guys are lucky, I dropped a tp2 in the cat water dish and immediately pulled the battery and sim. The keyboard never recovered. Everything else still works.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] allencass08:
Ditto, but one issue with the dry out

I also dropped my phone into the can, let it dry out for a few days and after the screen finally getting back to normal i thought all was well with the world. only problem is, now, if i turn off the phone, the super bright led comes on and doesnt go off until i turn the phone on again. any ideas how to fix this if it is possible? and even if the phone dies and i attempt to charge the led comes on and counteracts the charging. thanks for any help

Does anyone know how to make anycut work or does anyone with bettercut know if it works?

I can not seem to get it to place any of the shortcuts on the home screen.

Would be great to get it or something similar to work to gain access to portions no accessible in the menus..

[Nook Color General] Baboontyme:
BetterCut does not seem to work, either. Anyone have a workaround? I want to be able to edit my shortcut icons and names.
[Nook Color General] mad5427:
Desktop Visualizer seems to work pretty well. It allows you to use any icon with any application.

Using Astro with this will allow you to create widgets of any of your files on your homescreen. Most file formats are supported. You can also create a new extension to allow Astro to read epub format as well. It already reads most other file types.

This also works for folders on the homescreen. It's made the "Shortcut" and "Folder" selections on the launchers unnecessary.

How do you get this to work? I am using Launcher Pro. When I long press it goes blank for a sec and then nothing. If I try to launch DV and create from there I get a DVR message saying I don't have permission to create icons on my homescreen.

I purchased these (lexard two pack from Amazon). All in all they are good. It reduces the reflection a bit. The camera and light sensor holes are not an exact fit. There were quite a few bubbles after install but after a few days, most are gone. It does look like it will do the job of protecting the screen.

All in all, a little expensive but better than a scratched screen.

The Lexerd screen protectors are crap!

Recieved the product and it was no where near up to my standards.... thin and flimsy... it had dust on it already before it was applied (between the screen protector and the piece of plastic that you peel the proctector from. When massaging bubbles out, the included smoothing tool scratched the protector.

I was shocked that a screen protector in a store is like $40 also. And then you have to cut it to size, still.

[Nook Color General] jsmith.nook:
Following instructions from here I pulled the boot ramdisk (uRamdisk) off the first partition of the internal mmc of my NC and unpacked it.

Inside I found initlogo.rle. This is a bootsplash that appears before the boot animation.

I want to see what this is an image of. There seems to be two screens before the boot animation and I was wondering which one this is. (I'm guessing the grey 'n', but I want to confirm that.)

I found this thread on creating a new initlogo.rle and this thread on converting initlogo.rle to png. I went through the steps and the end result was a garbage image file. I double-checked that my process was correct by running it on the user-created initlogo.rle in this thread and it worked perfectly.

My question is does anyone have any idea or perhaps could point me in a direction about what format the initlogo.rle that comes with the NC could possibly be?

If I hexdump the user-created initlogo.rle it's very obviously an rle as hexdump displays data in 2-byte columns. The first and every other column after is usually a small number (the count) while the second and every other after is some larger value (the RGB value). If I hexdump the NC's initlogo.rle it's obviously not in the same format.

There's no obvious header in the file (which is how this type of RLE should be) so I'm assuming it hasn't been compressed with something like gzip and the first four bytes look correct; 0xffff 0x0000, meaning 65535 black pixels which is what you'd expect for an image with a black background.

I know this is an incredibly insignificant issue, but it's nagging me.

Thanks for any help.
[Nook Color General] epakrat75:
I don't have a NC and this is likely a really oversimplified / stupid thought. However, I'll throw it out there anyway. Since Windows BMP are often RLE encoded, what happens to the file if you rename it BMP and then try to open with an image viewer?
