App2sd slow

I've installed DL Desire to the rom, and it is really fast. Just i did not have enough internal memory.. So I partitioned the memory card in linux (fat,ext4,ext3) and now have 1Gb internal memory. Sadly, it is much slower:(

I was wondering, what can be the reason. I have a 16Gb kingston, class 4 card. Do you think if I get a class 10 card, will it be much faster? Can I get the same speed as with the internal memory using this sd-data option?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Dr.Move:
I'm pretty sure Dandiest builds need specific partition types and sizes to work well. However, this build works well without partitioning.

you could've increased the data.img size either by editing the config.txt or manually using this app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824154

note that you should edit the config.txt when there's no data.img in the build folder. to get a 1GB data.img just create a txt file inside the folder and insert these lines inside:

data.img=1

data_size=1024

as for the speed of the SD, you could buy a class 20 and it might perform worse than a class 4. check this thread:

Market

Hello.

I decided to install the DL Desire v4.31.44.12 version of this build because it looked very fast on the videos and this is what i need. I've tried a couple of builds and I can tell that this one is the fastest I've tried. But there are some issues though. The first one and most annoying is that every time when i try to install an app from market which is over 15MB i think the phone keeps saying that there is not enough place. I've set img size to 1GB and there is still arround 800MB free. And the other issue is about the MagicLocker app. I wanted to install some app for this boring standard lockscreen and MagicLocker just don't works. I can't press anything and i have to force restart (take the battery out) the device to turn it off.

I would be gratefull if anyone could help.

Regards

okeyus

EDIT:

I just found out that the internet from my provider is not working either..

EDIT2:

I found out how to fix market. Just added ram_size=32 in config.txt. Now i only need to get internet working and prevent MagicLocker from stopping to work and I will use this build all the time :D

EDIT3:

All working! I decided to write here how i figuret it out because maybe someone has same problems. So market apps like I wrote in EDIT2.

Data connection - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11965035&postcount=4882

And for the lockscreen i just installed another update which gives Gingerbread lockscreen - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11510758&postcount=1

Hope it will help someone.
[HD2 Android SD Development] smeddy:
Does anyone on this ROM have the issue where your battery returns to 100% on every restart, regardless of the true battery life, or any tips how to solve this?

EDIT: I'm assuming it's my extended battery.

EDIT 2: I updated the kernal to Hastarin's and now it seems to be reading it all correctly!

EDIT 3: If anyone else hits this problem, find Hastarin's kernal with support for extended battery ("eb") (here: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=787588). Then turn off your phone and put the files into a folder in the root of your SD card called Update_DL, and also delete zImage from the Desire_DL folder and replace it with the one from your new kernal.

I backed up my original Desire_DL folder as well, as you always should do!

Hello. I have that build and I installed WP7 and now want to dual boot WP7 and Android. I saw tutorial about dual booting WP7 and Android and there is needed a file "rootfs.img". I can't find that file in this build. Maybe can I rename any other file to this one? Can someone tell me which file can I rename to that and if it will works at all?
[HD2 Android SD Development] secaplus:
Hi okeyus

U don't need "rootfs.img" for this build. I have dual boot config, and this build run as is.

Hi dandiest,

Is this just the required upgrade package? Not sure I agree that is the best way to release it, but if this is the case, what about those of us who don't have a local copy of the original? I would suggest, if you have to only release the upgrade bits, that you also have a link in the OP to the orignal.

Oh how I wanted this to work:

But I can't get it to work properly. Even with replacing the data and zimage from the earlier build it doesn't seem stable. Often nog 3G connection, igo won't start. I really hope dandiest uploads an noob-friendly version!

I was impressed with the 0.2.2 build, but I really want the landscape support for car use.

nothing works

i downloaded the old zimage and the data img but nothing the phone is stuck on boot splash. its been 30 mins already what is going on? i really want to try this build out but not sure why it wont boot
[HD2 Android SD Development] pack21:
did you rename to android? you cant do that, keep the name as it is, desire_z!
[HD2 Android SD Development] x2z2001:
i kept the name of the folder in the root the same i just added the zimage and data.img that were provided a couple posts back..but nothing. it is stuck in splash screen with the red eye droid animation thingy lol..i rebooted the phone and now some files are missing in the \desire_z folder???!
[HD2 Android SD Development] speedy-grufti:
same here.

First tried the build with my old data.img from Mdjeys 4.6 and it worked (but some Apps like Superuser crashed).

So I wanted to start a new fresh installation, put the desire_z folde on the sd card and added the Zimage from Hastarians 8.6 and added a fresh 1gb data.img.

Now it loops at the red splash screen "droid" -> red circles .... abaout 30 secs -> "droid" -> red circles ...

and im truly no newb... all my other android builds worked so far... somehow :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] pack21:
delete every thing and copy again....the data.img when unzipp must be 1GB.

Build works excellent with zimage en data.img 1gb as posted several posts ago. Quaddrant score 2500+

Where in other désiré hd Build i had 1700-1800 as i recall.

Battere drainage also good. But not tested much Since i needed to recharge. But seen 6mah in standby.. so guess this Build is the one to keep for me... till android 2.3 works some better???????

Thanks for all the effort.

Thanks, let me try. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] Lanc1337:

Just got it to work. Had to just delete everything and format my card again. So far so good. Pretty smooth build and everything seems to work at the moment. Going to keep testing and give updates of anything else that might be buggy.

I think you've found the sweet spot! Build works excellent now...doubt there's much we can do about the app install lag :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
provide a small update to be able to use your own boot animation.
[HD2 Android SD Development] 10507:
Thank for the quick update. Is the link on first post for the updated version?:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] rhacy:
More options are always welcome ^! Cheers!

BTW, everything in V0.3 has worked well here so far, including wifi and the sweet Desire Z Sense screen rotate feature. Plus, the standby battery drain has been logging in at 5 to 7 mAh for the most part, and the quadrant scores have been in the 2200 to 2700+ range. That said, many thanks dandiest for sharing your excellent Z release, updates, and including the wpa_supplicant for ad-hoc wifi network connections. Cheers!

As far as updating from v0.2.2 to v0.3, all I did was add my zImage and 1GB data.img from v0.2.2 to v0.3, as well as change the v0.3 desire_z folder name and startup txt rel_path to reflect the new version (desire_zV03). The first boot took around five or six minutes, using Exceller Multiple Build Loader. For those having troubles booting, I'd recommend waiting ten minutes or longer before giving up and starting fresh again.

On a related note, for some reason the HTC Stock Widget and Swype were missing in v0.3 here, even when using my v0.2.2 data.img that included both. Thankfully, I had copies of each in an apk folder on my storage card, and was able copy both to the /system/app folder via Root Explorer.

Thanks so much again for sharing your excellent Desire Z Build.

Best to all,

[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
oh, yes, missed the stock widget again, using the original source to recreate the system.ext2, forgot to put it back. have to provide a small update again. :mad:

how can i use the bootanimation script? Got gscript. Downlaoaded a bootanimation.zip and put it on the storagecard in folder animation.

Got error when run script cant stat ./animation/bootanimation.zip No such file or folder.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android SD Development] aftabbabar:
excellent build. I got it to work by switching my old image and data files from 2.2. Swype is gone and back to original keyboard.

The problem is: The microphone on the keyboard and on the google voice search does not work. How can I activate the mic is keyboard? I like this feature as I used to voice search etc.

On the other hand, I see the microphone gain is too high and when I record my voice I hear the surrounding hiss and other noises. Talking tomcat app won't work because it hears the background noise, even the fan and always stays in listening mode. In the previous androids, we were able to put an acdb file in root/system/etc/firmware but this build has no root folder and I have tried to make one and put in the acdb file and it made no difference.

So if you can kindly lower the mic gain and turn on my mic in the keyboard, I will be a happy camper.

Thanks a million.

If I want to enlarge the storage space,

may I replace data.img of 1GB with the old 512KB one?

I tried to do this with 0.2.2 version, it works!

But it doesn't work with 0.3!

Anyone can give me some hints?
[HD2 Android SD Development] hsnmz:
I am on 0.2.2 since it came and am loving it, thnks dandiest

looking forward to 0.3 but have 1 question; are the LED notifications working with this build? though it's not something that would keep me from updating to 0.3 :)

used the zimage in the 1st post
[HD2 Android SD Development] havlaz:
is it normal that i have the boot animation at the firt boot for 15 min now?

(i'm using the 2.2 ver withe the zimage from the last update, cause it doesneet booted before)

in previos buildes, the first boot was faster...vary faster.

is it a problam or its normal?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ksaleem:
+1 tried everything suggested still no luck
[HD2 Android SD Development] rhacy:
I haven't tried it yet, but I think you just need to replace the included zipped bootanimation file in the animation folder with a different bootanimation file that you would like to use, and place the animation folder as well as the .sh file in your desire_z folder. Then, upon booting up once or twice again, you should see your new boot animation instead of the original red droid eye version.

1) The mic in both Swype and the HTC keyboard work fine if you install Google Voice Search via the Market.

2) You should be able to change the acdb file with Root Explorer or a similar file explorer by copying the new one to the /system/etc/firmware and /etc/firmware folders. That said, I recommend first saving original file somewhere or renaming it to default.Oldacdb before you copy the new one to the /system/etc/firmware and /etc/firmware folders.

3) In regard to Swype, I'm not sure if it's okay for me to post it here? Nonetheless, if you check out the AndroidApps Folder in v0.3, just after it's extracted on your PC or on your HD2, and before you boot it on your HD2. You will see it, and will be able to copy over to your storage card, as well as install it normally or by copying it to the /system/app folder. Please note that you may need to use fast reboot or do a full reboot in order for it to show up in your Settings or when you long press on an input field and get the input options pop up menu.

Have you tried to use the DATA.IMG Maker app yet? If not, it should work fine.

Here's a link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824154

V0.2 and v0.2.2 did boot faster here as well. V0.3 took about double the time on first boot. Maybe dandiest knows why it's slower than earlier versions?

As far as your long boot time, it sounds like something is hanging during boot. If it takes more than 10-20 minutes, something is wrong, and I'd recommend starting fresh again. If you're using your v0.2 or v0.2.2 1GB data.img, it should work if you copy it and its zImage to v0.3 (well, at least it did for me).

Hope this helps a little.

Looks like the problem is related to one of the softwares included in the folder ANDROIDAPPs,

just install the rom without that folder, then install the folder's applications one by one......

I just couldn't determine the culprit yet.......
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
OK ok, i will try to upload a "newbie" version today, with all the app preconfigured, and everything run smoothly enough to be packaged into the build.

then what you need is to extract to your folder - "Android?", don't change anything, just run . I will only provide 500M Data.img, think it is big enough. lol.

hope the internet connect wouldnt give me much problem.

I been using ginger and supeRAM, and yesterday because I saw this topic on top, I install to see what's up.

And I'm very impressive with this HD build;

- Very fast

- No lags or freezs

- No choping on scroll

- very responsive

- fast mobile data navigation

- impressive fast pinch to zoom in browser

- etc

Note: I always use go launcher, so make this a no sense, but I love the browser extras on HD builds.....the magnificent text selector, quickly look, etc.....

Great job, will keep more days to see the battery drainage, but it seems to have normal parameters.
