Yes, I believe you can make folders and move stuff around... I amde a whole flashable .zip from onmy phone once... then the XDA app wouldn't let me upload!!! lol!

Also, I have made another thread here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13908457#post13908457 - regarding the fact that Android smartphones can leak personal data!!! Just thought I would bring it to the attention og GV users... (although I think 2.3.4 has been fixed for this "loophole")... Its interesting! :)
[Desire Android Development] :
Tell me how you made it! Which apps did you use?

Huh the germans revealed that leak ;) How awesome are these people, huh? :P
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
it was astro mate... just click menu and create directory and whatnot... it did involve a lot of copying...!

and those pesky germans, eh...! ;)
[Desire Android Development] :
I can see you literally burst with envy... but I don't blame you. :D

Are you using astro as your file manager? or just for editing in the .zip?

I dont like that file manager much. ES fits my needs better ;)
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
I do use astro yea... however, for wireless transfers I use es..

When I first got my Android I was told to get astro, so I did and have used it ever since...

Another update on this. When I'm making or receiving a call and remove the phone from my head the screen does not turn on either. Pressing on-/off-button gives the same reaction as described above. Kindof anoying...

Could this be related to the proximity sensor? Or maybe to Trackpad wake/unlock? RT?
[Desire Android Development] zigson:
I agree, not interested in k9 mail , and Titanium works well for my for backups. I like the suggestion about removing the large media files though, is that an option?

[Desire Android Development] faithnolonger:
i've been having an ongoing problem with this rom. i have a few heavier apps on sd and the few that seem to lose their preferences when on sd on my phone. USB mounting almost never works. it's really doing my nut in. mostly the phone just resets. i've gotten used to having a limited ability to transfer data but short of mounting in recovery all the time is there a fix for this?
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Or any text to speech app like drivesafe.ly (i think it is called).
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
First off all, this is quite troubeling ofcourse. Have you got an Ext-partition on the SD where the apps are? Or do you mean google apps2sd?

Concerning the USB-transfer. This has been a problem with some kernels. I dunno the wich kernels do not have this problem but just for my info. Why do you use USB-transfer at all? personally I transfer stuff to my phone via WIFI. There's quite some apps capable off doing this (Samba filesharing being my favorite). No more hassle with finding my cable and connecting.
[Desire Android Development] martijn_bakker:
For USB transfer to work, your phone needs to unmount the SD card. Maybe one of the heavier apps or one of the apps which looses it's settings is still active when you try the USB transfer?

This would prevent the phone from unmounting the SD card and could lead to lost app settings (for a forced unmount while the app has files open) or it could prevent the SD card from being accessible from USB.

This is why you can't store widgets (or apps which supply widgets) and services on the SD card. However, some apps like Titanium nevertheless support forcing a move of certain apps or widgets to the SD, even if they do warn against possible consequences.

This might be what's causing your problem, rather than the ROM.

Some of those apps that loose settings probably shouldn't be on the SD card. All that would be needed to fix this problem, is finding out which ones.
[Desire Android Development] madman_cro:
just use multimount from market

[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:

[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
Tis true... must use the dt app2sd script to clean and stay on ext... or the app2ad GUI...

Ps, it turns out I don't know my Rom that much ;) never knew about the long hold... is a good feature..
[Desire Android Development] aaargh777:
Disabling trackpad wake did it for me. Also it seems that there's less power consumption, before i had beetween 6 and 8 mA, now it's 3-6 mA in standby.
[Desire Android Development] devil-kin:
OK, I'm now officially stumped about how the a2sd works. I thought I had figured it out - you move the app to internal phone storage, and since /data/app is linked to the sdext, it gets moved there.

Unfortunately, there's still a bunch of data being kept in /data/data, which is filling up my phone storage. Moving the app to the 'external storage' (which I guess is the Google a2sd style), frees up that storage.

Is there a way to move /data/data to the SD too? Or is this going to give me no end of problems?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
What you have explained is correct, there will always be some of the app on data/data... that is where the apps data is stored... I believe you can't move that. I also have found that moving the larger apps to SD card Google style does give you more internal memory than on app2sd ext style... which is weird... but im sure someone will explain why... :)
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Oh, all right then. ;)

Some apps have a shared object file in /data/data/<app>/lib, and with GB the Google-style "move to SD" moves this as well (which didn't happen with Froyo). Some apps have nothing in there, but in some cases it can be quite large, and for those you notice that you free up more space moving it a la google, though of course you can't run widgets or use it when usb mounted if you do.

As you'll see from the above it's not the whole of /data/data that is moved, but a specific directory for an individual app. The google style a2sd can do this because it's set up when you install the app or when you move it, and either way the system is making changes to just that one app. The a2sd scripts we use just link an entire directory (e.g. /data/app), so can't move just the <app>/lib directory this way - the easiest solution would be to move the whole of /data/data, as devil-kin says. I believe that the DarkTremor beta has this as an option, but GV doesn't include the beta script. I'm not sure whether moving the whole of /data/data would have performance implications for people with slow cards - I've never tried it, but if anyone wants to give it a go, do let us know how you get on?

And yeah, the long press on the power control widget is neat - I was afraid that I'd turn out to be the only person not to have found it!

ive had this annoying problem since 2.3 which is when i try to unlock the screen

a good 50% of the time it immediately closes again to a black screen and i have to hit the power button twice to attempt it again

usually after 3 attempts it unlocks

does anyone know what causes this or how to fix it?

EDIT: found the culprit

It no longer likes 128mhz screenoff. dunno whether this is kernal related. using degault gv2.x kernal
[Desire Android Development] mattmanwrx:
A couple of pages before someone said it was trackpad wake which was making .it do it... I just live with it... 2.4 is out though...
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
I have seen on a friends phone with Redux Rom there is no haptic feadback on unlock slider, this is nice. Is there a way to turn it of in gv?
[Desire Android Development] eldinnie:
Actually I can confirm that disabling 128 MHz in SetCPU for screen off solves this...

Although I'm keeping OJ-wake disabled cause it actually improves battery-life a bunch!
[Desire Android Development] Vaedryn:
What do you mean with OJ - Wake ?
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
It does it with trackpad wake off too

I'm on 2.4 and it still does it

Only way to stop it is to change min clock to 256

EDIT: i cant actually turn trackball wake off. even though i have it disabled in cyanogen mod settings its still waking up with trackball

EDIT2: im an idiot i turned off trackball unlock but trackball wake is somewhere else

EDIT3: seems to of done the trick, combination of trackball wake + 128mhz causes random screen off behaviour when unlocking
[Desire Android Development] noobandroid:
hahaha, cant believe you don't know OJ.. OJ = Orange Juice

kidding...

actual OJ = optical joypad

[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
bah just did it again

gonna test with the cpu at 245 for a while and see if it comes back, its very annoying

[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
well i had it at 245 and realised that worked but wanted to test your theory. this worked for a while but then it happened again.

its a shame as the kernel was quite energy efficient at 128 :/

Don't you have any backup? If not, extract the apk from an older version of GV.

[Desire Android Development] devil-kin:
You have to use MarketAccess which is a rewrite of Market Enabler:

and it works fine.

Other option is to rip it out of a previous ROM, and install it with adb.

Or will it be included in the final version of it ? .. cuz it really bothers me and I've read people solved this issue by disabling track ball wake and change the frequency in setcpu .. im addicted to track ball wake so cant stop using it !! Any other solutions ?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
A slightly technical question, probably best addressed to Richard.

CM7 uses a script, 06mountdl, to recognise when you are using a small cache partition and mount a directory in /data for downloads instead. Since I knew it worked in CM (and Redux) I assumed it would in GV. However, when I tried it it did not work.

The problem seems to be with the "df" command. The script uses the output of "df -k /cache" to determine the size of the partition, where the "-k" specifies to give the sizes in kilobyte blocks. However, using a terminal emulator on GV the "df" command doesn't recognise any arguments (it seems to be hard-coded to "df -H"), and just returns that there is no such file or directory as "-k" (or whatever other option you try to specify). This would explain why the script does not work.

An odd thing is that there is a "df" in both /system/bin and /system/xbin, and the latter does recognise arguments. However, the former is earlier in the PATH, so that is what is used (at least when I do it).

The question is, does anyone know why it is this way with GV but not with other ROMs (at any rate, not with CM7 and Redux)? And does anything depend on it, or would it be possible to change?

Obviously I can hack my own phone, but if this were changed and the 06mountdl script added it would mean GV could work nicely with small cache partitions (or as well as any other ROM) while making no difference to people who use more standard configurations.

Edit: I see the difference is toolbox vs busybox implementations, with busybox being more flexible.
[Desire Android Development] leader288:
yeah, that has been a persistent bug in GV. its really irritating. one workaround is to disable the bluetooth on the phone before switching off the bt device.

hope it helps. cheers.

As I remember the df -h is just for a more readable output, so why not try a nandroid and the copy the df file from xbin to bin.

For easy recovery you can just rename the old df file in bin.

I guess you can change 06mountdl script to point to the correct df. Replace the df command with /pathtocorrectdf/df
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Thanks guys. Of course I can do either hack myself - in fact I'd already done what redrum suggests.

Just seemed odd that CM7 picks the more flexible version of df while GV did not, and I wondered whether there was any reason, and if not whether it could be changed to work like CM?

That fixes the "df" problem, and I have checked that bit works, but the mount doesn't seem to for me.

That's the next thing then, but haven't had a chance to work out why that should not work yet. It might be as simple as doing the same for mount as for df, but I've not tried it, or even thought much about the syntax and properties of mount.
