Quik Noob Question...

Do I need to redo DT's A2SD script everytime I flash a Mexdroid update?

My apps are on my sd card...but whatabout when I update the apps themselves?

Or when I download new ones for that matter?

Thanks

from my HTC Vision using XDA App
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Dts script is included in the rom....so what exactly do you mean?

And any update to an app will stay on the ext.

New apps will automaticly go to the ext also..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
Hey thanks- I will keep this all in mind- and thanks for the heads up. I won't worry about converting if it currently isn't supported-chris
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
Hey dude, check out post #2460, looks like the kernel does after all support ext4, but DT somehow is not recognizing it WDS is checking into it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
ext partitions

I'd prefer to not roll out another kernel if we can avoid it as EXT3 support is there in the kernel...

Will look into a solution for this today.

It's still 7am down here... yawn, maybe after breakfast ;)

Now that this subject has been clarified, I guess I will use Clockwork to create an ext partition- Chris

PS- the partition that I can create with CWM- is it "ext2" or is it "non-Ext"?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
[/QUOTE]

I did my partition withCWM as well and if you run this command in terminal:

mount | grep /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

It lists the ext as ext2

WDS is still working on this...it is a big job. DT is a MASSIVE script. for now if everything is working on your phone just continue to use it and set it up...we will get this sorted out...

Ya, I've been in communication with him just PMed a copy of the text I get when I run the convert command in a2sd, said he needed it.

I'm really impressed with how helpful you guys are and I'm glad I can help out even in a small way.

A big thanks to the while team! :D

Mine did the same insufficient memory when I restored with titanium backup. I uninstalled the app. Went back to the market and downloaded again. Moved just fine then. Same with my other G2 also.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
ok..time for a little more info on the tweaKr script...

first to run it

su
tweaKr

now you will see a list of rom featurs that you can tweak..the one i want to talk about now is "cpu voltage control"

so press 5 and hit enter

you will see another menu..here you can write your current vdd levels to file,edit,and,apply your settings,and when you are sure your settings are stable,set them to be applied at boot...

first press 1, hit enter..you will see a list of the cpu freq and the corresponding voltage level...it says hit enter at the bottom..so press enter and you return to the previous menu..

now press 2,hit enter

you will see a message...READ IT!!!! hit y

now press i

now scroll over and edit the top most 900 to say 875 make sure the format stays the same and all the numbers are still in a row..

now...hold the up volume button and press e at the same time.

now press alt then :

now press wq and hit enter(remember all that from the message I told you to read?)

you are now back at the previous menu..hit 3 and enter

you have now set the voltage for freq 245 the 875...use your phone and make sure it is stable...if you reboot or the phone locks up or anything it will automaticly go back to the default of 900..

once you are SURE it is stable you can return to that same menu and press 4 enter

this will set your new levels to be loaded at boot...

repeat all these steps for as many freq as you like finding the lowest voltage you can! they will need to be >750...I recomend only changing one at a time.

Good luck! Have fun!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
Nice dude! Thanks can't wait to try it out!

just out of curiosity, will this clash with set cpu? Should I uninstall it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
The voltage adjustments I talked about wil not clash with set cpu...but the built in screen off/on profile will...so don't use a screen off profile with setcpu...and you can use the tweaKr script to set your governor and min/max so....you don't really need it...I have unistalled it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
Sounds good to me, one less app to worry about.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jkoenig00:
Hey I don't know if anyone has experienced this, but when I am using Poweramp, my navigation volume is extremely low. Now if I pause or uninstall poweramp and do not touch the volume, the navigation volume is much louder. Is there any particular setting that would cause this? Is it Poweramp? I have not had problems until v4 with volume of apps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
So since I'm new to this tweaKr script, what recommendations would you give as far as what to governor to use, and what min/max freq to set, as well as what under volting settings to set?

With setCPU I used the ondemand gov and had min at 368 and max at 1113, and I would scale it up to the max when playing games and such.

What are your settings for your phone?

Anybody to help me to have tthe gb kb keyboard, the Status Bar Icons (GPS, Wifi, Signal, and Battery) like the pictures on the first post.

thanks by advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:
V4.1.1 has all of those features. If for reason....you don't have them..reflash the rom and xapps.

Edit: I have not updated first post with new pics. Those pics are from V3. I will update asap with new pics. But you should still have the themed keyboards.

I noticed a bug... the battery icon in the lockscreen shows always empty, even when it's charged to 100%.

then again, it's a great ROM!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csolanol:
Same here about battery icon in lockscreen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] berju:
ok thanks for your answer. It's not possible to have same icon from V3.1 in 4.1 ?

Great job...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ch4dr0x:
My battery seems to be dying at an extremely quick pace compared to V3. My phone has been off the charger for about 3 and a 1/2 hours and I'm already down to 70%. Also not sure if this is a T-Mobile issue or what but I cannot access the market since last night and my 4G speeds seem VERY slow.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Re batt: sounds like it might be time to wipe your battery stats....there is an app included in the rom to do this for you..

And look back a few posts to see my post about the tweaKr script for more info on how to max batt life even more! and remember setcpu screen off profile is not recomended.

My market works fine...so I don't know about that..but I don't have tmobile...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
What I love is that this Rom just plain "works"- I re-formated my sd card and created the ext partition, re-loaded the rom and V4 apps, and reinstalled my apps, and had it done in less than a half hour. Sure enough, all my apps were installed on ext3, and everything is the fastest its ever been.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ch4dr0x:
I actually wiped my battery stats after flashing. I will have to mess with the tweaKr script tomorrow on my off day.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SnowOokami:
Did you reset the calibrate the battery? (aka deleting the battery stats). my phone is on for 21 hours and I still got 70% left (moderate use)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
Has the phone had time to completly discharge and recharge since wiping the batt stats?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] coszy:
how come mine doesn't show anything when I typed those in? please tell me what can I do to find out. Thank you

silly questions, I'm stuck at this point.

"now press alt then :

now press wq and hit enter"

I did press alt , then press wq + enter.

but i got this " q invalid ......"

what is "wq"? Is it alphabet "w" and "q"?

thank you sir
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] csolanol:
:wq in vi means:

: -> command starts

w -> write

q -> quit

awesome rom. i've actually moved from CM7 to this for good.

one thing i've noticed, if you try to change the theme (honeybread), it loses the power control in the noti bar and starts bootlooping.

other than that, perfect.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
You are skipping the : that is actualy a command....like the post above said....it was in the page I said to read.... : )

I tried to stress that because I knew it would be kinda confusing...

It is also possible to simply copy that file off your sdcard to a comp edit it and copy back...then apply as directed in the steps...

*NOTE* if using windows you MUST use notepade++....not a regular text editor.

How did you get ext3? Did you use CWM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waydownsouth:

So, to convert your sdext partition to EXT3 or EXT4 here's a little walkthrough

prerequisites:

/sdext partition on your sdcard (duh)

adb installed & working on your pc

reboot into recovery

open a console on your pc

connect your phone via usb

type:

adb shell

you should then get a prompt like so:

~ #

use ONE of the following commands depending on what you are trying to do:

EXT2 => EXT3

tune2fs -O has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

EXT3 => EXT4

tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

EXT2 => EXT4

tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index,has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk1p2

then exit the shell & reboot...

Job done

HTH
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
ext3

I used CWM to create the ext partition, and the a2sd convert-ext3 command in terminal to convert it to ext3. If you look at those command lines that stream by, I believe one of them confirms to conversion to ext3- Chris

PS- All I know is it is faster than when it was ext2 as far as storing and accessing apps ( or it is my imagination :-) ):eek:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
Going from the post above this, I guess it isn't converted to ext3- guess I will have to fire up adb......
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lazy361:
...Perhaps I don't quite get the DT script. I thought the apps didn't go to sd card until I went to terminal emu and "cachesd"....thought maybe i had to do that everytime...

Sorry and thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
Is that an O or a zero after the hyphen?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:
After you flash rom, it boot loops 3 times at splash screen, setting up your ext. Therefore you don't need to run any command to move apps 2 sd. Cachesd just sends your cache to ext, not apps. Also there is no need to check the box in cm setting to move apps, just to let you all know.

meXdroidMod meXperia V4.1.1
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waydownsouth:
its an O...

to check it whilst in android (ie not recovery)

mount

that will list all your mountpoints

by piping it through grep as in:

mount | grep mmcblk1p2

it filters the results based on the string 'mmcblk1p2' ('p2' being the second partition of the sdcard) thus only displaying what we're interested in
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lazy361:
Thanks for clearing that up guys.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:

A screen shot is attached. The Android did not look like this in the stock ROM which is why I asked. I just want to be sure what my phone shows is indeed correct. This is on a G2, btw.

No Flash in Camera

Just curious if anyone else is having a problem with the LED flash not working in the Camera app when snapping photos. The LED works everywhere else, including the Torch App and even when recording movies. It just won't work for static photos. I tried all three settings (Auto, Off, and On) to no avail. This occurs on a T-Mobile HTC G2.

Besides a possible graphic glitch elsewhere, this is the only issue I've come across thus far. An excellent ROM otherwise!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mjybarr:
Yep. Its suppose to look like that.

Oops....I meant I tried each one of these and does not appear to be converting.

Don't know what I'm doing or not doing, checked and rechecked code, then rechecked again.

Guess I'll just stick with ext2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
Hmm....curious.....I just did this and it seemed to work perfectly. I converted ext2 to ext3- Chris:D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] scholar79:
After it still didn't work on mine, I did a battery pull. After that, the flash worked again! Go figure. Don't know what the issue was originally, but all is well now!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] setspeed:
Hi guys, great rom as usual, very stable. One issue I'm having is with my camera.

In Spare Parts under sensor usage, my camera is showing as constantly using the sensor. I've not had the chance to properly test my battery life, but it does seem to be affecting it.

I had a similar problem a couple of versions ago, with Dialler running constantly under sensor usage.

Any ideas?

EDIT: my camera sensor usage continues even if I kill the camera process usiing a task manager
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GhostZini:
The only thing that bugs me about new rom is that periodically when multitasking, the battery heats up to like 40.5 degrees for sum reason and my failsafe warning pops up. This never happened before with other builds. But that is only prob I have. Battery life is awesome and everything else is gravy. Not a big deal but anyone else have this too?

For some reason I can't seem to get my UV settings to stick after rebooting. I run them for hours to make sure they are stable and yes I did select option 3 and then option 4 in tweaKr. But upon reboot they go back to default.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
Ya, I don't get it, I'm wondering if it is because I did my partition with the regular CWM and not the modified one that I DL'd for this ROM.May have to go back to square one and
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
How are you checking your vdd? If you are using option 1 in the tweaKr vdd menu it will just overwrite your settings with the stock ones...try this..make your changes...apply at boot..reboot..

Use tweaKr to set the cpu min/max at the same freq you want to test the modified voltage for ie min 245 max 245 then in terminal type

su

cat /sys/kernel/debug/acpuclock/current_vdd

It should say whatever voltage you set it for...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
Where is the modified CWM for this rom? Is it in the OP? Anyway, I have one interesting glitch. When I go into SetCPU, Smartass governor is not even listed, with a couple of the other options not listed as well. Wierd, huh?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
Yea I just found the modded CWM in the OP; But my commands in adb worked anyway-Chris
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
I installed setcpu, because TheNewGuy said we didn't really need it with this ROM since we can use the tweaKr settings to do all that.

Have you ran that in terminal yet?

I meant I un-installed set cpu

No, I just ran the above commands in adb, and I'm pretty sure I saw a confirmation of the conversion to ext3 run by me after hitting the final "enter". Plus, if it hadn't converted it successfully, I am also confident I would have gotten an error, which I didn't. BTW, when I looked at my files a few minutes ago on my SD, I noticed the CWM i am using is the modded one from this OP- Chris
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
You know, it's probably not that major of an issue to get from ext2 to ext4, but I'm all anal about it and it's gonna drive me nuts til I can get it figured out.

And I'm driving my wife crzy too! lol She's like "Why do you even need to mess with it, can't you just leave your phone the way it is?" LOL

No I can't, cuz I'm a geek like that! haha
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
Right I ran all of those in ADB as well and did not get any errors on any of them, so maybe it worked, IDK lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
well I just ran the EXT2 to EXT4 code again in adb, got a "tune2fs 1.41.06 (may 2009),

message after hitting enter, but no errors, rebooted just fine, so I'm just gonna assume that it worked for now I guess LOL

Trust me; I have been listening to that "can't you just leave your phone alone?" for years. I believe the number posted after "tune2fs" is in fact a process confirmation or a file reference number, as well as the date. I think were both fine. One thing for sure; My market apps have all been re-installed on the ext partition- Chris

I flashed 4.1.1 just as I did version 4, and 3, and I have always gotten 4g; are you sure it is not a coverage thing. Remember it is typical for it to "come and go" depending on atmosphere height, etc. Not trying to "talk down" to you, but we geeks often forget the simple explanations- Chris

Magical meXdroid meXperia V4
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] waydownsouth:
Are you on V4.1.1? there was a little bug I fixed in that release WRT the vdd failsafe...

If not, hold out till later today, I've completely re-written the vdd module & made some changes to tweaKr as a whole.

BTW, apologies for vi, it is the only console based text editor that works via adb shell & the terminal app on the phone.

nano is a bit easier for folks to understand, unfortunately it is broken via adb...

To work around this in the meantime I've come up with a different way of adjusting the voltages altogether...

Also, the next version includes controls for the smartcpu script, where you can set your screen off frequency rather than defaulting to min freq.

I'll see what mjybarr thinks about releasing V4.1.2 otherwise I'll post a flashable zip to update y'all to the new version.

Oops, looks like I forgot to enable it in the config when I rebased from CM... my bad :o

what other opts are you missing?

those in the habit of quoting when they post, please take a moment to edit out anything in the quote that isn't relevant to what you're replying to...

This is a good idea...I am guilty of that...I do have a V4.2 rom that I am running...mj said he could theme it on Monday...maybe we will release a V4.2....but I am not giving a eta on V5...this would just be a short tested update...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
Yea if you could post 4.2 that would be great. Hopefully, MJ won't object to your doing this. Aside from the smartass, I don't honestly know what others might be missing, as I don't know the names of the others. I just know smartass isn't available. And thanks "new guy" ; appreciate your help as always.- chris
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ccriffman:
Hey WDS- have you gotten any feedback on whether you can post 4.1.2? If it doesn't look good, as you said earlier, a flashable zip with the changes would be much appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] TheNewGuy:
we are going to post a 4.2...mj won't have a chance to theme it untill Monday ...it will be at least a few more days...and the sooner we release it the less testing..so I am not exactly sure when it will be..WDS has a new tweaKr script that we want to include.... extended rotation control...Maybe some new animations... so it will be worth updating....
