I'm using SysInfo which shows a screen like this:

My storage shows as:

A2SD Storage: 457MB / 315MB

Internal Storage: 148MB / 14,7MB

System Storage: 250MB / 158MB

I have S-ON and now I wonder which storage contains what? I already use the A2SD feature (but without dalvikCache2sd) but I'm still running out of internmal memory, and I only have about 70 apps installed Oo Why? Is the storage of 148-14,7=132,3MB taken by dalvik cache or what, since I'm assuming that the dalvik cache is stored in the internal memory?!
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
"A2SD Storage" is going to be your ext partition

"Internal" is the /data partition of your internal storage

"System" is the /system partition, where the ROM lives. As you can see most of that is free because Redux is much smaller than the stock Sense ROM.

There is a lot of stuff in /data, everything from your contacts and emails, app caches (clearing these can help a lot - try 1Tap Cleaner to make this simple), and yes, your dalvik cache. So if your space is that short it might well be worth moving the dalvik.
[Desire Android Development] bubu.:
Okay thanks, and I heard there's a difference in A2SD and A2SD+? (no I don't mean the App2SD from froyo itself, I really mean two different A2SD Implementations: I heard that one moves really every app and the other doesnt. But can't find anything good about it!)
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
The terminology here isn't very clear, I'm afraid. Some people use those terms with a particular meaning in mind, but it's not universal.

There's no difference in which apps are moved. However, some implementations more more of the app than others: specifically the dalvik cache :)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Generally a2sd is "move to sd" and a2sd+ is script based for root users. Before Google implemented "move to sd" a2sd+ was just a2sd. Once "move to sd" came around, a2sd became a2sd+, ironically to avoid confusion. However, like Hadron said, this is not really universal and everyone refers to things differently.

Personally I use "move to sd" and a2sd+ as my terminology

redux 1.2 is working flawlessly for me... for redux 2.0 please keep the themed version and implement the call delay fix and I'll be a happy camper :D
[Desire Android Development] d1n0x:
+1 for call delay fix, that's the only bug that keeps me away from Redux ATM
[Desire Android Development] Vuska:
@bubu : Your system storage is not optimize ... i think s-off and change your hboot will free near 100MB for your applications...

Sorry if im wrong
[Desire Android Development] bunnybash:
anyone remember the ETA for 2.0? Just did a search through here and couldn't find it!
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Think he said minimum 3 weeks
[Desire Android Development] CreaB:
hey guys!

I'm running redux 1.2 + dalvik2ext addon and works great, but now i want to flash a custom hboot and i want to disable the dalvik/app2sd script completely, i dont exactly now how to do it on this rom.

can anybody give me a hint? =)

thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
In the path /system/etc/init.d you can find the file 10apps2sd. This file is concerned for a2sd+. When you delete this file and reboot, a2sd+ you should be disabled. To be sure it is:

Before deleting this file, open terminal and type

ls -l /data

In the output you should find these lines:

/app -> /sd-ext/app
/app-private -> /sd-ext/app-private
/dalvik-cache -> /sd-ext/dalvik-cache

After deleting the file and rebooting, the "-> /sd-ext/..." part of these three lines should be removed.
[Desire Android Development] CreaB:
ah ok thanks!

but..is there no way via a kind of a2sd-command to first move all the stuff on sd-ext back to internal memory, to avoid problems after copying manually?
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
The problem I see there is, the /data/app, /data/app-private, /data/dalvik-cache folders of the internal storage is symlinked to /sd-ext/. My only idea is the following:

1.) Take nandroid backup first (just in case)

2.) Backup all apps with there data using titanium backup

3.) Remove a2sd+ and check if it's really disabled.

4.) Flash new hboot

4.) Deinstall and then restore all apps with titanium backup which does not work properly.

But I have one question: Why do you want to remove a2sd+ when flashing new hboot?
[Desire Android Development] CreaB:
simple answer =)

i want to flash an other hboot for the reason to dont have to use a2sd+. so apps, etc, will fit into new internal partition structure
[Desire Android Development] d1n0x:
If you remove your EXT partition and flash a new HBOOT, the ROM will install all apps on the internal memory, a2sd is just "ignored" that way, no need to remove the script IMHO
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
Same thought, but I told him to backup just to be prepared for the case something is not working as it should.
[Desire Android Development] CreaB:
thanks for your answer..backup already done. flashed new hboot moved app/ and so on via command line and deleted script =)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Yeah. I have custom MTD with 375MB /data. I do not rely on my SD card now. Certainly not EXT (I have used "Move to sd" on some apps" but that way it only uses the space needed rather than having a GB missing that could be filled with music ;)
[Desire Android Development] CreaB:
which hboot image do you use? is it a selfmade one? i used the CM7 from alpharev.nl

[EDIT]sorry, found in in your sig =) [/EDIT]
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Oooh my sig is out of date.
[Desire Android Development] d1n0x:
bumping this..
[Desire Android Development] bunnybash:
I am more likely to be begging than bumping, I am so excited for 2.0

Help needed.

Did I turned my device to a brick?

I tried to install Redux latest theme version ROM after rooting my Desire by using ROM manager. The installation stuck on a screen with the text 'redux' and running dots above it. I waited for an hour and then took out the battery. The device opened a white screen with the HTC logo, then screen with the text 'redux' appears again and remain this way.

Can someone help me with this issue? or direct me to the thread were it was discussed?

Thanks a lot

Avital
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Don't flash Roms with Rom manager if you rooted using unrevoked. Use recovery manually by holding vol down + power from off. Wait 7 seconds then highlight recovery with volume and press power to select.

Now using the trackball to move and select, wipe then flash the Rom.

Please read rooting faq in my Sig
[Desire Android Development] AeroTZ:
OK I read (to late) your FAQ and I understand I shouldn't use the ROM manager.

But what can I do now? I can't get out from the present device status it's steel stuck on the same screen (screen with the text 'redux' and running dots above it). I can't change the device to the recovery mode by holding the power and volume down (can't power off either).
[Desire Android Development] AeroTZ:
ooh, got you (it's probably the stress)

Flashed the ROM, Working great for now.
[Desire Android Development] d1n0x:
me too man ;)
[Desire Android Development] teicors:
@ihlades,

is there any news/update about the 2.0 ?? :D

PS congrats for the examines ;)
[Desire Android Development] AeroTZ:
Flashing Redux v1.2 themed

Hello,

I've installed v1.2 themed version coming from original HTC Froyo ROM. I performed data and cache wipe before the installation.

1. After the installation the Gmail and Goggle maps were on the device and they can't be moved to the SD card. As as I understand the ROM does not include this apps, did they remain from the previous ROM? how can I remove them?

2. The A2SD is not installed, the RON doesn't include it?

3. I installed Facebook from the market and it also wont move to the SD.

4. Right after ROM flashing I saw that there are 101MB free on the device. I flashed the apps_dalvik2ext and I saw that the memory increased only by 1MB. does the dalvik2 is already included on the ROM?

I suspect that all these problems result from the same issue. I didn't perform Partitioning do I need to perform it?

Thanks for the support.
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
If you want a2sd+ to work, you need an ext partition on your card (the ROM does include an a2sd script). Otherwise you can only use the android-style "move to SD". And I think you are right, that many of the other things follow from this.

Without an ext partition the dalvik2ext clearly won't work.

Don't know about facebook. Maybe it's just that the developer hasn't enabled move to SD. You do know that with a2sd+ (i.e. the ext partition) you don't want to move apps to SD - apps on the ext partition appear to be on the phone.

Gmail and Maps are part of the ROM. I think you may be thinking of CyanogenMod, which doesn't include them. Since they are system apps, you can't move them anyway.
[Desire Android Development] AeroTZ:
Partitioning guide

Thanks, can you direct me to a good partitioning guide?

How many partitions needs to be created? which?

Can I do it after setting preferences and apps installation or I have to do it before installing the ROM?
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Thanks. :) The first snapshot build is coming soon my friend. It'll miss a lot of features when compared to 1.2, but it's a damn fast and stable 2.3.5 ROM. I'm actually thinking of keeping some features out of 2.0...

So, with that in mind, the test build will be available in a day or two, but you will have to wait a little longer for the final 2.0.
[Desire Android Development] dj-darkside:
I LOVE YOU xD
[Desire Android Development] buzzboy:
Great news.
[Desire Android Development] prup:
I've been using 1.2 for months now and I love it. Could you give an indication what features will/might be missing in 2.0?

Thank for all your good work, mate
[Desire Android Development] WindBurner:
I'm so excited for the release of this one. Keep up the good work. Best ROM ever. :)
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Here it guys. Please keep in mind this is pretty much barebones. No battery percentage, no FM radio, no quick controls in the notification area in this version, which is just the foundation upon which Redux2 will be built. You do get trackball wake, lockscreen music controls and playback control via the volume keys, but there is no way to disable them at the moment. The latest Google applications are also included in the package.

Download here. Beware, it is not Oxygen HBOOT r1 compatible! I honestly have no idea if this will work properly when upgrading from 1.2 without wiping.

md5: 34c12fbc0dd410ded28b6e0080b3043a
[Desire Android Development] cigga33:
This is a very good news, i used Redux 1.2 for months without any problems indicating the goodness of the work done, the missing features are not a big problem, Redux it's damn faster and lighter than many other Gingerbread ROMs, so i can't wait for a new release!

Keyword: lightweight! :D

A question: can you remove the orange glow at the edges of the browser? I think they are annoying... i think no one will miss them! ;)

Keep up the goodwork, bye!

EDIT:

Downloading it now! :D
[Desire Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:

One suggestion for Redux 2.0- could you boost loudspeaker volume? Ringtone and notifications are sometimes barely audible (vibrator is louder than sound)

Or is there any chance to get current rxkernel sources?
[Desire Android Development] abhayks:
Nice.

Though controls in notification area is something I'll miss a lot.

Will use widgets for it.
[Desire Android Development] Bingley:
I'd looooove 720p recording. Pleeease :)

I missed it so much I'm back on the stock 2.3 rom :\
[Desire Android Development] unde:
I am agree with him. The volume is really low.
[Desire Android Development] bunnybash:
thanks for the update! Although I gotta say, no notification controls and no battery percentage means

I am out! Probably going to go with villain or something...

Will try it out and see, but the notification controls are huge for me!

Thanks for all your work though man, I really have appreciated it!

Sent from my HTC Desire [Redux 1.2]
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
Remember that this is not Redux 2.0 yet, just the foundation on which it will be built.
[Desire Android Development] Pitbull_Raven:
Nice to see you back in bussiness. I think I'll stick this one out till you get further down the road with it. But I have been waiting for this ever since you stoped developing 1.2 :)
[Desire Android Development] lukyjay:
How do I install market 3? It just force closes :S

Please excuse errors as this was sent from my phone.
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Somebody know how much space I need in system to install the 2.0 snapshot? I have custom mtd
[Desire Android Development] dunmow_dan:
2.0 installed and working!

Installed the 2.0 snapshot over the top of 1.2 with no wipe on two separate Desire's. The only thing we found was that the 'Go Launcher' disappeared along with all it's settings. Not a problem for me as I hadn't been using it :)

All looking OK so far. I've re-flashed the ManU 2.0 kernel, and 2.2.1003G RIL.

Only issue so far seems to be no customisation of the Power Control widget, which with no pull down menu either, restricts the control a fair bit... But still it is a snapshot, so not really complaining!

All looking good so far. BIG thanks to Ihlades.

EDIT: Just noticed no Camera... Not sure if that's the release, or because I changed the Kernel or RIL!
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
There's a camera apk in the zip - I've not flashed it yet, so can't confirm function.
[Desire Android Development] dunmow_dan:
2.0 Snapshot camera

Tried re-installing the Camera on the off-chance, but no success. Also tried a different RIL, and going back to the RIL, and Kernel that I think were default. Still no Camera, just a force close.

But that's why I flashed it, so I could give feedback! Definitely NOT grumbling :D

-----------------------------

Phone: Bravo S-OFF

HBOOT: Data++

Kernel: Manu 2.0 SVS AXI CFS

Radio: 5.14.05.17 RIL 2.2.1003G
[Desire Android Development] nicklashidegard:
Camera works but you must use thalamus kernels (oxygen).

Why did u flash different kernel before you tried the stock one? Thalamus kernels are unbeatable IMHO.
[Desire Android Development] dunmow_dan:
OK I guess I was getting ahead of myself :( Re-flashed 2.0 and the default kernel etc. Camera OK.

I put the ManU kernel on, for the same reason you stuck with Thalamus, it's always been brilliant for me. Went on holiday recently, (roaming so no data), and didn't charge once despite being on 24 hours a day for five days. Hopefully my boo boo will be useful for some others though :o
[Desire Android Development] teicors:
Installed over the old 1.2 without wiping. No one issue !!

Simply the fastet rom I ever tried.

Great job ihlades !!!!! :D :D :D
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Clean install. Even faster than the 1.2! Unbelievable... Thanks man, can't wait for the final version ;-)
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Hmm so redux 2 must be close to oxygen if using thalamus kernel. They did something different with the camera which is why manu doesn't work on oxygen either. That said, I think the test eviollet is working on might be using thalamus sources, but don't quote me on that.

What's best is subjective though. I've always loved the manu kernels
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
With 2.0, I encounter several wifi drops. I'm close to my router, but without any reason the wifi disconnects itself then reconnect. Anyone else?
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
That's the spirit guys! Feedback, feedback, feedback! Thank you.

Redux2 is closer to the AOSP than anything else, and so is Oxygen. I guess that makes them more or less related.

Regarding the camera application and ManU kernel: ManU kernels use the 720p drivers, which require support in the framework and Camera app. I'm not ready to go down that road yet. The actual photo sensor that the Desire has is well... far from brilliant, which makes me focus less on camera issues. Not that I ignore them.
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
And what about the wifi drops

Didn't had with 1.2...
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Sorry, didn't see your first reply. Could you tell me the configuration of your WLAN? (802.11 mode, transmission rate, security mode, etc.) It could be a wifi driver issue (since the kernel has changed), but I can't reproduce it.
[Desire Android Development] Demenso3:
a2sd or something in current snapshot?
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
There's an a2sd script in the ROM.

(Still not flashed it - prob. not before tomorrow night now).
[Desire Android Development] Demenso3:
Strange, after install free space decrease too fast

in terminal: a2sd cachesd > file not found
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Apps are installed to /sd-ext, but dalvik-cache remains in /data. Installing an application makes /data/dalvik-cache increase in size. Try and flash "apps_dalvik2ext" from here. Take a look at the FAQ from the second post in this thread:

The a2sd script is working on my phone. :)
[Desire Android Development] Large Hadron:
That command only works for one particular a2sd script - DarkTremor - which isn't the one that comes with Redux.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Thanks for the response. I saw in the 1.2 source that redux went back to the aosp camera. What changed in 2.0?
[Desire Android Development] DjLukeW:
Would just like to say thanks for the awesome v1.2 that kept me happy for 3months or so.

However my Sensation arrived today so no more Desire.

Keep up the good work
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
1.2 actually used the 720p driver. ;)

Hmm, I've played with a Sensation just the other day. Build quality is awesome, but it has too many flaws for a so-called superphone: The display is far from great, the software isn't nearly as smooth as a Galaxy S II (not to mention iOS or WP7 devices) nor is the camera as good. All in all a great phone, but I'm still waiting for that perfect one. :/
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Thanks, I tried different things but it seems to continue that way... First of all I confirm that the cam crash with ManU kernel.

For the wifi, it's a G one, with wep security. I have a WPA2 at work, I'll tell you later if it's the same there or not.
[Desire Android Development] Demenso3:
Market fc couple times for me on snapshots
[Desire Android Development] syncopy:
My next ROM for sure. Currently using MIUI with no major issues as such. Shall try this out once version 2.0 is out. Been keeping a tab on this thread for a while now.

Also recently S-OFFed my phone using Revolutionary.

Is CM7 hboot the recommended one for redux?
[Desire Android Development] MatDrOiD:
There isn't any recommended hboot for redux. You can use every hboot with redux, even oxygen.

https://sites.google.com/site/romredux/faq
[Desire Android Development] syncopy:
Thanks. I am on stock currently. From what I read, version 2 *may not* be Oyygen compatible. So, should I go ahead with CM7 hboot or can I continue using stock?

I understand that CM7 will give more data space compared to stock.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Ahhhh!

Do you know? I'm glad that I am not due an upgrade because nothing seems like much of an upgrade to me. I have to wait until May (Unless my average bill goes up). Hopefully there will be something good then.
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
If you're a bit more advanced, look into custom MTD as per link in my signature.
[Desire Android Development] lukyjay:
I need the new version 3 of the market, because I have 2 Google accounts and it supports that much better. Please help me install it to Redux 1.2, it just force closes :<
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
How are you installing it?
[Desire Android Development] syncopy:
Thanks! Shall do..
[Desire Android Development] zokipirlo:
I'm having the same problem. WPA2, 802.11g. Logcat

Hope it helps.

Edit: flashed over 1.2 with just cache wipe.
[Desire Android Development] lukyjay:
By apk, worked on MIUI
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
I would suggest you need to go to the market in manage applications, uninstall updates then flash it (or adb push it) to system/app

I have rarely got by with apps in data/app that are also in system/app without conflict or issues.

Its Vending.apk in system/app, if you replace that it *should* work fine.
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Here at work with a Netgear N and WPA2, it seems stable. I don't understand as I never had problem at home before...
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
Okay then, try this new snapshot build; I wasn't planning on posting this, but it may solve your wi-fi problems.

Other changes: Minor UI refinements (like updated buttons and activity title bars, Segoe WP font, etc.) and first (re)implementation of the interface settings. I heard many people complain about the banding issue within the orange overscroll glow, so there's a new option to disable it. Tested it and should be fine.

Try it out: Redux2-SNAPSHOT-08112011-signed.zip.

MD5: 53c3b1d011bb70707d1e3c94686a4ab9
[Desire Android Development] danarama:
Oooh thats interesting. How did you do that? I've been looking for the code that created the banding to no avail. Still a source-code n00b, but having fun with it.
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
Thanks! Downloading it right know and I'll tell you if it's better. I suppose I can flash over my fresh install of the previous snapshot?
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
The banding comes from using the RGB_565 format in surfaceflinger; It's why the scrolling is so smooth. If you'd like to compile 1.2 without this "hack", comment out "BOARD_NO_RGBX_8888 := true" in device/htc/bravo/BoardConfig.mk. Or take a look at frameworks/base/services/surfaceflinger: search for 'NO_RGBX_8888' to see how it works.

The overscroll glow code is present in core/java/android/widget: AbsListView.java, HorizontalScrollView.java and ScrollView.java; and core/java/android/webkit/WebView.java. Just search for "EdgeGlow" in those files and you'll figure it out.

I did it my way this way; it works. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
Mind me asking how did you fix the Wifi drops?! im usin Oxygen and want to see if the fix applies here as well :D

Cheers.
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
I don't even know for sure if this is fixed. It's a bug in WifiStateTracker.java, you have to mess around with the source code.
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
Awwww, I see!

Thx for the quick response mate.
[Desire Android Development] zokipirlo:
I think it's ok now. Will be available also UI like in previous snapshot (it looks better to me)?
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
In future snapshot builds it will be available, yes.
[Desire Android Development] virus2013:
OK so I'm at home and for the moment, the wifi didn't disconnect. It seems more stable! Also it seems that in this 2.0,the sound is a bit louder than with the 1.2.
[Desire Android Development] Demenso3:
so, for new snapshot wipe cache and dalvik?
[Desire Android Development] ihlades:
That or... wipe nothing. I've tested this build without wiping anything.
[Desire Android Development] AeroTZ:
A2SD Problem

I've flashed the Redux 1.2 coming from the stock HTC Froyo. I didn't create Ext partition (didn't know about the need). All running well except apps doesn't go to the SD, I'm trying to create now EXT partition using the clockworkmod but it gives me error saying: "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exist). What is the solution? Please in simple explanation for non-expert.

Its usually a corrupted partition, use gparted to repartition your card, or use fastboot with these comnands

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

fastboot reboot
