BlaY0, with B.05 how to activate Data2Ext ?

I want to try it... but i can't see the link for data2ext like what i see when you release 0.2 version.

Thank you
[Legend Android Development] elk2210:
It's implemented in the 0.5 ROM. No need to flash it separately.
[Legend Android Development] bonethugs:
so, should i activate data2ext or not?

thanks
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
If you want more space for apps use a2sd
[Legend Android Development] loscassapalle:
from the first post
[Legend Android Development] Vuska:
Thank you.

Will try it after my download done and backup my current Rom.
[Legend Android Development] Learners Lisence:
No luck from the drop box .com link either.:o

two tries --one came down as 11 mb and another 15 mb ! other downloads working fine.

how about a megaupload or rapidshare mirror ?

Ever heard of wget? Or some other app that knows how to continue the download from where it ended?

[Legend Android Development] elk2210:
Is it possible to switch from data2ext to a2sd without reinstalling anything?

My installation lags a lot and I think it's because of data2ext...

Download done for me using IDM.

BlaY0 right, use download manager that support resume.

Me too! Senseless ROM

Yeah, I thought I'd have a crack at this ROM cooking stuff. Don't expect any more ROMs from me. Basically, I don't like sense (and neither do some of you), so I got rid of it. As well as a number of apps I don't use, or prefer to have on /data (so install 'em from the market if you want them) GMail is one of these apps.

Sense is gone, mostly. The lockscreen is a bit funny (you'll see what I mean when/if you try it), so help there would be appreciated ;)

I have also changed the battery icon, the status bar background a bottom bar as well as adding the fly in animations (oh, how I love those)

ADW is the default launcher. I added a file manager. Not much else exciting really. My only other thing to say is that Java fails me on my PC, which is really doing my head in atm. As soon as I'm done with Delphi Windows is gone, I can assure you :mad:. What this means for you is that it isn't a signed zip, so you'll need to toggle signature verification in Clockwork. I'm sorry, but you can trust me. I'm from the internet ;)

TL;DNR:

De-sensed, mildly themed and generally more my speed. Have fun

Crap, it's 404'ing. Hmm... I'm looking in to it I blame Dropbox :D
[Legend Android Development] Dr.Romca:
Hi BlaY0!

Firstly, thanks again for these great roms I've been running, b0.5 will soon be my new one!

Second, do you recommend A2SD or data2sd? Since I'm only concerned about more space for apps, I'm not sure ;) Bu I'm not sure about the impact on speed with A2SD - data2sd is really fast with my class 10 SD...

Thanks anyway!
[Legend Android Development] loscassapalle:
i'm trying to do my version of this rom, erasing the same apps of the 0.2, but doesn't work: when the system starts it stops on "loading" and i can't access to menu.

i was trying also to substitute HTC_IME with gingerbread keyboard apk, but without the menu i can't see if it works

any suggest?
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Not entirely. Apps being installed after data2ext are preserved but their setting (/data/data) are not. You might need to reinstall some of those, especially ones that include native libraries. You can do it in one swoop by executing "data2ext --disable", "a2sd --enable", "a2sd --dc2sd" and reboot (shutdown and power on).

Switching from a2sd to data2ext however is done without loosing anything. Just execute "a2sd --disable", "data2ext --enable" and reboot (shutdown and power on). Mind also that if you used a2sd on ext4 partition, switch wouldn't be possible.

Sent from my HTC Legend
[Legend Android Development] waterpolo:
What I understand from the first post is that A2SD also support ext4.

Did some tested this. Is ext4 faster then ext2/3?

@BlaY0: what means "a2sd --dc2sd" in your previous post?
[Legend Android Development] irminsul:
Updated to b0.5.

I still can't get a2sd to get working... I really don't know how it can be.

Steps i took:

formatted sd, partitioned sd, wiped phone, installed 0.5 from scratch on, installed apps, turned on a2sd 'enabling a2sd please reboot phone for changes take effect' message or something. Rebooted, but still a2sd isn't enabled.

Took an other sd card (4 gb class4) and redone everything. From formatting, wiping, apps installing, and turning on a2sd. And it isn't working.

I do have an sd/ext partition, from recovery i am able to (un)mount it. I opened a logcat log but i am to noob to understand the info.

I really don't get the problem with a2sd. Anyone an idea?

Edit:

It's working! I don't know how it went, but it is working now. Enabled a2sd, rebooted, disabled, rebooted, enabled again, rebooted again and now it's working!

Hope you guys are not gonna miss my endless stupid questions on this point :P
[Legend Android Development] Dr.Romca:
Not BlaY0, but a2sd --dc2sd obviously means Dalvik-Cache to SD, and I think it is explained there...
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Calvik-Cache?! That's a new part of Android...
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
Logcat could reveal something.

It means that you didn't read 1st post.

As for ext4... it can be fast with some carefully chosen mount options.
[Legend Android Development] Dr.Romca:
That's brand new from Android v 3.6 ;)

(corected :p)
[Legend Android Development] stiffmast3r:
hey guys.

today i got my new 8gb class6 sd card.

put it in, flash B 0.5 with wipe, running quadrant, and now, its not faster than before.

before its running on B 0.26, 4gb class2, had a quadrant with ~1350.

now, with new set up its ~1450.

whats wrong? i thought i get up on 1700?

or is this ok? tell me...
[Legend Android Development] loscassapalle:
what filter spec should i use?
[Legend Android Development] Dr.Romca:
There' more to it than just a fast SD card. You have to have the correct blocksize etc etc..

These are commands BlaY0 and TheGrammarFreak posted a while ago:

check ext 2,3,4:
tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p2	(su before)

make ext2fs:
adb shell mke2fs -m0 -Ldata -b4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Also I beleve BlaY0 said ext2 is faster, but I'd have to search and it's not so good with the crapy conection I have here...
[Legend Android Development] deimdos:
there are class6 and class6... sometimes a class2 SD card can perform better than a class6 if the class6 is a bluff. In my case a 16GB class2 SD card runs almost as well as my 8GB class6 :S
[Legend Android Development] snakehult:
Wake up ? So you actually means that you can leave your phone alone so it goes to sleep? ;)
[Legend Android Development] MaBlo:
Tried data2ext, but it was quite slow for me. Here is what I did: Flashed B0.5, installed som apps, partitioned SD card using Rom Manager, data2ext --enable and reboot.

I'm guessing maybe it's my SD card, it's a cheap(really cheap) Trascend 4gb class 6.
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
You spelt my name wrong ;)
[Legend Android Development] stiffmast3r:
do u think its a "fake class6"?

how make partition with rom manager. exactly the same why like my class2 sd card.

what should i do now?

write this commands in terminal app?

check ext 2,3,4:

tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p2	(su before)

make ext2fs:

adb shell mke2fs -m0 -Ldata -b4096 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

is this -b4096 the mb of the partition? so, when i want 1gb, i type -b1024 ??

sorry for stupid questions :/
[Legend Android Development] ogo2:
"-b" is for block size :)
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
-b is block size, leave it at 4096. The partition size should be managed with parted

Gargh! Beaten to the "punch"
[Legend Android Development] stiffmast3r:
i have a transcend to, class6. i think this sucks.
[Legend Android Development] stiffmast3r:
cant make it with parted.. how to do? i flashed b0.2, parted is on b0.5 right?

guys please tell me what i should type in the terminal app, cant work with ADB :/

how can i "unpartition" my sd card? want to make it new.

i know, my english sucks like a *********

but, thanks :)

I can not get a2sd work either... :confused:

Done all steps ok, and after reboot, titanium backup is saying i have only internal, and SD card.. Not see any ext...

i thought i should download logcat app, done this.

and then i give u the pastebin link.

omg.......
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
OMG all you like, this is the only way it will work.

EDIT:

Anyhoo, you have ADB set up (you need it to root). So just download this and unzip it to a known directory. Navigate to said directory using Windows explorer (built in file manage on windows), then press shift and right click at the same time (within the folder). In the menu that pops up click "Open command window here". Then type "adb logcat". Et viola! A logcat output using ADB. Now press CTRL+C, and it's gone!. So, turn off your phone, plug it into your PC. Type "adb logcat" into the command window, and it will say "-waiting for device-". Now turn your phone on. As soon as you see an output on the screen press CTRL+C. Now right click in the command window and click "mark". Click and drag to select all the text, then press enter on your keyboard. The text is now copied onto your clipboard, so go to pastebin and paste it there (CTRL+V) and give us the link.

Hope this helps

endlich jemand der mich versteht :o

also, hab vor einigen tage b0.2 mit allen patches geflasht, darunter auch data2ext-test. mein legend rannte perfekt bei ca. 1400 quadrant punkten.

ich hatte ne 4gb class2 sd drinn.

heute bekam ich meine 8gb class6 sd.

flashte b0.5 - extremer lag, quadrant bei ca. 1050.

flash b.0.2 mit allen patches (also das komplett gleich wie vor ein paar tagen mit der class2 sd), wieder das gleiche. und es geht überhaupt nix weiter am handy.

achja, partitionien machte ich immer die selben, über rom manager, 512mb und 0 swap...

Logcat via adb is the only way you could catch 1st few lines of boot process!

[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Your partition is the wrong type for data2ext
[Legend Android Development] stiffmast3r:
omg and whats the good one?!

data2ext

Using data2ext is still in test phase so expect some problems You will need separate partition for this. For now only ext2 version works so you will need 2nd partition on your SD card formatted as ext2 or ext3 (ext4 will not work). To enable this feature, execute "data2ext --enable" via adb shell or some terminal app. Reboot for changes to take effect. If you have problems, logcat 1st several lines of boot process to see what's going on and post your findings. Questions like "Why is data2ext not working on my phone?" will be ignored! Mind also that a2sd and data2ext can not run simultaneously!

always make a ext2 part. but still dont work -.-

tryed to make it new.. and now im stuck same like before^^

i got to made a part. with rom manager, but i want more than 512mb internal memory.

but i cant go more... dont work.

now im on 512mb (rom manager), but phone lags pretty much with new sd card (8gb class6). with my old one (4gb class2) was running better.
[Legend Android Development] elk2210:
For me it was extremly laggy with data2ext too. Also with a Class-6-Card.

A2SD is running nicer, but I'm waiting for a good working data2ext.

My score in quadrant was 1400+ (with data2ext, OC 806). Did I made anything wrong and it was lagging because of a wrong setup?

What I've done:

1.) New Partition (ext2, 1GB) with recovery-mode

2.) Install b0.5

3.) Activate data2ext

--> Lagging

My A2SD-Setup had some problems too: I run out of internal memory while restoring my apps with Titanium. So I moved the dalvik-cache and now it's working.

I´ve tried also data2sd with a Kingston 8GB class 4 SD-Card but it was very laggy.

So i installed it new with a2sd, and with this it´s running very smooth :)

But how do you get this amazing high Quadrant Scores. Without OC i´m at ~800. With OC@806MHz i "sometimes" get ~1100.

Is more only possible with data2sd or have i configurate something wrong?
