[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xologist:
Im on cyanogen 6.1

I want to have ext2,3..

can that be done by selecting Partition SD Card on "Rom Manager" ?

or do i have to do it the whole comand prompt way?

also, do the apps get deleted after doing ext2/3?

if so, whats a good app to re-install all apps on one click? i dont want to have to click install 1 by 1
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Using ROM manager should work to partition your sd card, but I'm not sure about the whole apps getting deleted thing, but I would make a backup of your apps just in case. I use titanium backup, excellent program, restores app data and market links with the app. I use it for user apps between roms and system data when I'm flashing new nightlies all the time. Highly recommend it. It also syncs to dropbox if you have an account with them, which is pretty nice.

Well I've never used Rom Manager to create my ext but I don't think it allows you to select ext2/3. I just used a program on my computer to create it. As far as the apps - yes, they will be deleted if they're on your sdcard, your entire card will be formatted so back it up before you do anything then just transfer it back onto the card once you're done.

ok folks, finally managed to get htcs teeter working only one major issue - it requires lcd density of 240

update zip is attached to add the required files to my 1.5.0 build.

it will also add a new build.prop with 240 lcd density set by default.

game is perfectly smooth and playable

NOTE: if your streak crashes at dell screen for more than 10 mins after flashing just reboot and it should boot fine- seems like a service goes a bit mad at first

So I am running CM6.1 stable, and I am having an issue with the web browser in full screen. I would absolutely love to run the browser in full screen, but there is a bug or something that I don't have a clue how to fix. When I rotate the phone into landscape while in full screen, and click the address bar to do a search, the keyboard pops up, like it should. But theres the space where the status bar could be. The keyboard randomly bounces up and down in that space instead of expanding to fill the whole screen. I searched quite a bit, but nothing. I have had this happen with the froyo keyboard, gingerbread keyboard, and HTC_IME mod keyboard. Is there a fix? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmcaylor:
Nope. This issue has always been there.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve19137:
So all I can do is use another browser? Or not in full screen? What browser doyou use as default?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmcaylor:
I use the default. I just gave up on full screen. I dunno about the other browsers.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve19137:
yeah, here are two screen shots. the first shows when the browser setting is at full screen, the second with full screen off for comparison. when i hit a key, the keyboard and text field jump up and down in the space that is left by the status bar. it drives me crazy. i would love to be able to browse in full screen all the time.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
I applied the animations but didn't really like them either (too choppy I thought), so I reflashed the ROM, reapplied just the main theme, Menu, and green icons, and still doesn't really do it. However, I notice that, in xScope at least, it only does it if I am not already on a site. If I do it from the default homescreen with the bookmarks and etc it will spazz out, but if I am on a website and go to the URL bar, it's fine. :confused:

Try Miren Browser, on the market for free. I use that and I have never had an issue with the keyboard acting up. Come to think of it, I haven't ever had that issue. I have used Swype since I got the phone, so I don't know if it's just the stock keyboard or what the deal is. I'm sure if you looked for Swype you could find it, but I don't know where to get it ;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kschang:
Sort of technical question, as this goes into CM6.1 and mem management.

I have the original Droid, Verizon. I had it rooted for a while and recently finally installed CM6.1 (stable release).

Issue 1: Free memory

I am having background services constantly killed by the system whenever ANY app is loaded, with exception of map and music. I thought CM6.1 would solve it but it did for only 2 days. Both DiskUsage and Settings / SD card and storage shows like 130 out of 262 available. Yet my services are STILL getting whacked left and right.

I opened terminal emulator and typed FREE... That says I have 5-10 MB available.

Now the overall situation... I am getting tired of the system killing my services, and I really don't have that many loaded. I got Titanium Backup, Clock Widget, Juice Defender, SeePU, Screebl pro, SetCPU widget, Vlingo (then there's TTS, Bluetooth, Google, and SwiftKey, but those are required).

Just checked again: say 130MB available out 262 (well, 256). however, FREE at terminal emulator right now is 4812.

Q1: Why would the free command show a completely different result from the system?

I can guess it was more of a "snapshot", but that's a pretty HUGE discrepancy.

So where is all that free memory going?

Issue 2: CompCache and Swap

I found references to CompCache and swap file. I know they are not helpful to later phones with 512MB, but it's probably helpful somewhat on my Droid with just 256MB of RAM.

I looked up CompCache and I know it's specific to kernel implementations. The Chevy kernel (1.1 GHz ULEV) I had loaded doesn't support CompCache. Or else Cyanogen would have displayed it.

So I downloaded Swapper (the one with the green icon). Created a 128MB swap file. Then I rebooted, and tried "free" at terminal... SWAP shows ZERO.

I thought it was a problem with the program, so I downloaded the OTHER Swapper program, Swapper 2. Tried that. Got "failed to create swap file -- swapon not implemented. "

Yet every reference I see for SWAP does not mention kernel at all. All the references I see just say run the app or type in these commands at busybox/terminal and voila, SWAP!

Q2: As CompCache is kernel dependent, is swap also kernel dependent?

Is there a chart where it shows which kernel is compatible with what?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kschang:
Oops, answer my own questions...

A1: Yes, P3Droid kernel DOES support SWAP. Just put it in, and SWAPPER is working now. Dumb me.

A2: With SWAP enabled (swapper 2 defaults to 32MB), available memory still shows 130MB in (SD card and Storage) and "free" now shows 32-40MB free (main memory shows 5MB free).

(and yes, P3Droid kernel supports compcache too)

Sorry, answered my own questions. :) I'll probably do a few tests and which is more beneficial: compcache, swap, both, or neither.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kschang:
First test... 32 MB swap not enough

The "memory available" isn't working or is reporting weird figures.

DiskUsage comfirms 130 MB available out of 256, but my services are still closing left and right.

Tried 32MB swap, delayed problems, but it still happened. I've bumped it up to 128MB swap... Sometimes the phone's slow as heck.

I think I'll have to try CompCache with no swap, and other tests.

Can someone recommend some test apps that will eat up a big chunk of memory?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kschang:
Slight update

My apologies if this is an FAQ.

The "memory available" shown in ATK seem to be more accurately reflecting the numbers I get from the "free" command.

The "internal storage available" in "SD card and storage" under settings and "diskusage" aren't showing ANYTHING useful. it seem to be showing basically what's left after all the Move2SD was done.

Strangely, this only happened AFTER my CM6.1 update. Under the stock ROM, DiskUsage actually shows "System" taking up like 30+ MB in internal storage. Under CM6.1 there was no "system" taking up anything.

Is CM6.1 managing memory differently or interacting with DiskUsage differently?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kailapis:
DiskUsage measures the usage of storage on your phone/SD. This is akin to a hard drive on a PC.

"free" and "memory available" measures the available memory on your phone. This is the phone's RAM, which is a separate thing from storage.

The reason that your apps/services are being killed is because you do not have enough available memory (RAM) and has nothing to do with storage.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kschang:
Got that, thanks. I guess I am just confused on the following:

1) DiskUsage and "settings / SDcard and Storage / Internal storage available" shows what's "left" in internal memory 'storage-wise', but not the "OS free mem". Right?

2) Then what is the "memory available" shown in ATK Froyo? (or SeePU?) Usually shows 30MB, up to 60MB if I kill a few things in ATK.

3) So far the most accurate mem count is the one provided by 'free' in Terminal. That number is consistently TINY (a few MB)

4) And what are the numbers shown at the bottom of the "Manage Services" screen? I know the numbers on the right (in the "green") are all the services added together. I am going to guess that the numbers on the LEFT (red) would be the system process (phone, and system?)

5) And how does this match up with the OOM/Lifecycle?

I was looking at the output from WatchDog Lite / Auto Memory Manager (under running processes) but the "memory used" in those readings seem to be way larger than it should be. Every app seem to be taking 12-20MB, and there shouldn't be memory available to load them all. :)

I guess I'm just trying to figure out where did all my memory went, since none of the numbers seem to add up to me. :confused: :o

(The overall problem is I'm trying to figure out why my background services keep getting killed by the system from, as you said, lack of memory. I already got rid of just about everything, even Flash, from my Droid)
[Wildfire General] heady2k:
Hey guys,

In the fact froyo is still not live i think about flashing a custom rom.

But which one is recommended?

Thinks on my wishlist:

- Faster then the little laggy default rom

- clock with current located weather (the htc default widget)

- useful sms app and phone call list with t9 phone keyboard (hate the qwertz one)

- cool would be wifi tehthering

- language german (including sms language)!

- wifi,bluetooth,sync and light dimmer (like the htc default widget with the turn on/off function)

- imap mail widget (like the htc mail widget)

- of course it must be a stable rom...

Excited on your ideas! Please with some links and/or screenshots

Thanks all!

[EVO 4G General] splmonster:
Currently the Android market is the only app store that has a refund policy. webOS, OVI store, BB store, and app store do not have one. So at least we have one at all, gives us an advantage. Reading that article from Appleinsider does not surprise me, they have been criticized for bad articles for a long time. Apple fanboys seem to be the worst of all the platform fanboys.
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
haters gonna' hate but most of what they say is still mostly true.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
The EVO has something like 300 MB of internal free space for apps. Froyo's move to SD feature doesn't move the entire app to the SD, just non essential, storage type of app data. So even if you have a 32 GB SD card, you'll still eventually be hosed by the limited internal memory. You could root and modify to completely move the apps to the SD card but it's not perfect and it only benefits the 1% of users who know about rooting.

The iPhone on the other hand has a 32GB version without that limitation.
[EVO 4G General] rooster94:
True, it does contain facts. Unfortunately, they are buried deeply under all of the overly opinionated bs. I mean, they are pretty much saying that its a nice little facelift and all, but the app store will always be better because its made by Apple, and we all know that anything Apple makes must be the best thing ever, assuming you're holding it right of course.

[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:

[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
And they neglect to mention the fact that, without root, you are free to download to, and install apps straight from, your computer...thus bypassing many of the complaints in the article.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
How anyone can criticize Android for being "fragmented" then ignore that apple has taken the easy way out convincing a nearly blind mass that one device is "the best" and that it's not bizarre for everyone to carry around the exact same phone.. is beyond me.

Who knows, maybe apple isn't the only company trying to take over the world, but at least Google is giving anyone a shot at helping shape the Android experience.
[EVO 4G General] Shushunmire:
Dear God, I really don't know how these people even walk around. Doesn't it physically hurt to be that much of a pretentious ass?

Mini-rant -

Almost every Android user can admit that the iPhone is pretty cool and has some neat features, while enjoying their own flavor of Android phone. However, I have only met ONE iPhone owner who has ever strayed from the path that Steve Jobs laid down for them and admitted that Android has it's own merits and advantages over iOS.

It's frustrating trying to have an intelligent conversation with an indoctrinated brick wall about the differences and awesomeness of both phones.
[EVO 4G General] willy900wonka:
Good comedy on a slow morning. More facts were omitted than mentioned. Apple's invisible acceptance criteria for their own apps was totally ignored. Your app needs to benefit the future pov to be accepted. Can't blame him, the gui battle was painful.

Back on topic, it seems that itunes is the future hinge pin for apples' added capability. It offers an umbrella for moving content. So e-books and data and executables are all mac cloud by itunes.

So in as much as I have the utmost respect for apple, small minded blogs are really quite funny and indicate where the blind spots are.

And since Tom Tom was mentioned, who needs to buy a nav program for their phones these days? Oh, that's right, iPhone users do! Falling behind there, aren't they? I'll use my free nav and if I need something with on board maps,? I'll buy a whole PNA for around the price of the app. Apple has fallen far behind Android in navigation. I don't know how they can possibly catch up.

See how that works?

The problem with big games on the Android side is that there's been no equivalent to the iPod Touch and for the last 7 months, the dPad . The limited battery life off a modern smartphone still make it a relatively poor high power gaming platform. I bet without the Touch (and to a small part dPad), John Carmack wouldn't be talking favorably about the iPhone either. With the avalanche of tablets about to overtake us, that whole landscape may change. Meanwhile, we always have the Apple marketing created FUD that spews from their fanboi network to enjoy.

[EVO 4G General] SouthernEvo:
I personally can say from expierence when I was looking for a new phone the two phones I had in mind was the HTC EVO and the Iphone4 . I looked over both providers (Sprint vs AT&T) and compared prices and such . At the start of it all both phones were neck and neck for me . Then the Apple antenna issue popped up , I stepped back and watched how Apple would handle the situation , still keeping the HTC EVO in the back of my mind . After watching Steve Jobs talk about how users were holding thier phones wrong and how it was actually AT&T's fault due to their network it became a total finger pointing fight . Mean while the HTC EVO was still sitting there in my mind with very few issues besides a issue with battery life . After doing more research I found the Iphone also suffered from battery life issues itself . Months prior to its release the iphone was said to be having a removable battery , that feature never came to be when it was released . Long story short , Apple changing the removable battery idea and the Steve Jobs blow out It pretty much pointed me straight to Sprint and the HTC EVO . Ever since then I have never been happier , but I still see videos of apple owners who litterally look like zombies when talking about apple products . Hell the woman who activated my phone at Bestbuy had a iphone 3G and her words were "The iphone4 is awesome I must have it , Im going to get one" . Granted the statement alone wasnt funny but the fact he eyes litterally buldged out and glazed over was the killer part .To add further insult to injury , there was a small crowd of Iphone4 owners there was well when I got mine . I over heard comments like this "Ohh you wont drop calls if you hold it like this." "No you are holding it wrong hold it like this" . I was littlerally besides myself laughing my ass off listening to the whole conversation . Apple owners might consider us Android owners lower than them , but I can say this much Id much rather be with the lower crowd then in that crowd ROFL
