There is a slight bit maybe 3mm long right on the bottom right edge of the screen where the aluminium ends and the plastic sim cover begins. Just looks like the paint has been eroded off.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typeadam:
Is there either an app to completely eliminate the lock screen?

I'm running CM and there is an option to unlock by pressing Power>Menu or through gestures but either way that's an additional step - just like my rotary unlock.

There's an app in Market called No Lock that does the same thing.

What I want is just press Power and I'm at the home screen. No 2nd buttons, no Menu button, no sliding, no gestures.

And since I know this question will come up, no I'm not concerned about dialing or anything else, capacitive buttons/screen, remember? :D

Plus I have a case that bevels over the Power and Volume buttons so... yeah...

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gomorrah:
Hey man, its already built into CM. One of the options for the Notification Power Widgets is to Toggle the Lockscreen. Just set Toggle Lockscreen as one of your widgets in the CM settings, and click it and you can completely turn your lockscreen on and off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typeadam:
Wow, how'd I miss that..?

But I see it allows you to turn the phone on w/ the volume buttons too... That's not good b/c I usually switch tracks w/ the volume buttons when the phone is in my pocket or when I'm driving - especially when I'm driving.

Any way to only let the power button turn the phone on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gomorrah:
I dont know man. Im not on CM right now..I dropped my phone and the screen shattered so instead of fixing it they sent me a new one. Hardware 004 and 2.10 hboot, and this damn thing been fighting me ever since I got it..:mad:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typeadam:
Ye.. I said in the OP that I know about No Lock. The problem with no lock is that, just like the CM no lock option, it allows the phone to be woken up by the volume buttons too. Something that's a major deal beaker for me.

Auto Unlock. Only the power button wakes the phone. Sometimes, you will see the lock screen flash on before it's dismissed.

- Replaced stock launcher2 with ADWLauncher 1.3.3

- Removed unneeded apps in a similar way to Fat Free Froyo RLS5 (thanks to thoughtlesskyle for his great work)

- Added % to the battery indicator (for now at 0%, 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%)

- Added Astro to the SYS partition (As I personally consider it a core tool)

- Tested with kernel 2.6.25 (download here)

Notes:

- If somebody gets it working with a 2.6.32 kernel, please post the kernel

- If you want to add some of the stuff it was removed, here is the androidupdate.tar

thats actually not the newest fresh froyo nj2rt (sorry if i miss spelled)

posted one on the last few pages of that thread called freshened froyo thats what RLS18 is built from, that dzo rls is really old thats the same one RLS16 of super and not so super are based off of, other than that great work
[Touch CDMA Android Development] casacristo:
Thanks for the info, next time I know...

If I had known in advance I would have taken the freshened froyo as a base instead...

Anyways I´ve got another froyo prepared based on your fatfreeRLS5 or may be I should just release it as a patch? (it replaces the circular battery indicator with the % one from not so super froyo RLS17)

Is it possible to install more than one page of applications on the A101IT?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d31b0y:
Yes...

The default apps tray has multiple windows that slide. Just like your home screens. I'm not 100% sure but I think the only thing from stopping you installing infinite apps is the memory of the device.

i.e. the only limitation you will hit is a hardware limitation. There is no software limitation.

Hi, umm I'm a user who lives in korea.

I have a question to xda devolopers.

In korea, people who uses optimus one read your threads about overclocking very interesting.

They also want to use your's rom.

I have two smartphones, one is optimus one, and other is another smartphone that made by Sky. (Of course yours don't know about Sky. It is just a company made smartphone in korea.)

I really eager to want yours' rom at my another smartphone, but is it possible to use?

It has same cpu, msm7227.

And second, when i run clockwork rom manager, and flash recovery, it success.

But when i tried to reboot into recoverymode, it just boot into Android system recovery (3E)

Why this happens, and what is the solution?

:confused:

I'm unable to add my facebook account to tweetdeck. It just goes to the browser, shows "Loading" screen for a second or two and then jumps back to the Account screen.

It used to work before but now I can't get it to work. I've tried deleting cache of tweetdeck and browser, reinstalling tweetdeck, uninstall-restart-install, even tried it in three different countries and it doesn't work :(

Anyone else experiencing this?

Try this:

On the computer turn off platform apps and then deactivate FB account;

On the phone logout from FB app and delete FB cache.

On the phone login into FB app.

It worked for me. I don't know if all steps are needed. If interested in platform apps you may try skipping the turn off step.

[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone. If this goes wrong, it's not my fault. Read the whole post, and the last few pages of the thread. This will get you up to speed. Backup everything! Twice. No, I'm not joking. Do a nandroid, then do a titanium backup.

Important note! Ext4 does NOT work with ClockworkMOD 2.5.x. Nandroid backups will not work unless you upgrade to CWM 3! (data2ext4)

Greetings, earthlings! I have got a new version for you! Almost. Read this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11931210&postcount=341

Update 26/01/2011

Ok, so someone asked about continuing support for ext2. So I will. Ain't I nice. ;) Both scripts are updated, and should have improved performance, as well as a bugfix ;) With both you don't need to start over, just flash the zip and you're done. Backup anyway (of course).

EXT4 version:

Yes, ext4 is slower in benchmarks. No, it doesn't have a real world impact. Not that I can see anyway. As always feedback is welcomed. I really mean that, if your phone genuinely becomes slower, let me know. :D

The zip is named data2ext4-V4.zip

EXT2 version:

This is rather simpler to set up, but is not as safe. It is slightly faster though ;)

The zip is named data2ext2-v7.zip

1st boot will take a while, it's copying stuff across.

Java on my PC sucks (it won't work), and I still can't sign zips. You'll live, just toggle signature verification in CWM

Semi-disclaimer:

This is my first real foray into scripting. I am still learning, so this is not as good as it could be. I release this to you to give me an incentive to make it better. I still need to look into mount options and the like, I'm sure this can go faster. Once again, I would class this as beta quality.

"Now cm7 exp. builds not support run start up scripts from /etc/init.d =( when is fix, I publish app2sd for cm7"

noob=== my noob wish.
[Legend Android Development] fabi280:
I don't like to ask questions, so I try to introduce myself into those new things. But I need a confirmation if my theories are correct

1. Google's app2sd is kinda stupid. It uses the normal fat partition on your SD, correct?

2. The a2sd linked here copies all the stuff from /data/app to /sd-ext/app and remounts /data/app to /sd-ext/app

So the Phone means the App is stored on the Phone Memory but in real its stored on the sd.

Do I have to wipe everything after flashing the script. What happens to apps that are currently moved to the SD (by Google Apps2SD). Can I just copy them "to phone" again and they are inside the sd-ext then?

3. Data2ext => Speedup because everything from /data is now on the extfs on SD. Apps are also included, as they are located in /data/app so its has a2sd integrated, right?

EDIT: Damn, now I have to ask a question...

What's stored inside the dalvik-cache? I don't know much about dalvik, thats my biggest problem with android :D...

Is it good to move it also to sd-ext with the a2sd script?
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
1. Correct

2. No wipe needed for a2sd or this data2ext. Any app on what the phone believes to be internal memory is in fact sd-ext

3. Correct

Dalvik-cache is a shedload of dex files, quite important. The bug with re-creating it on every boot isn't major enough for me to worry about for now, as I don't think it affects anything other than the startup time. I need to investigate this, so be careful if you use this mod. My worry is that it's due to data being lost somewhere

When I used a2sd I had dalvik-cache on the sd card, but then I have a fast SD card. It can slow things down.

Anyhoo, I would like this thread to be for testing data2ext, not asking questions about a2sd. I have made this to help me learn how these things work, so feedback is welcomed. If anyone has tested this on CM6 then please let me know. And can you also post feedback about the dalvik-cache issue. ;)

/system/etc/init.d is where this is run from. It works on CM7

If you don't even read the first post I'm not gonna help you. If I haven't made the point clear enough:

EDIT: But is the Class4 Card fast enough to handle a2sd (maybe with Dalvik Cache)?
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
There are several factors affecting read/write speed to/from SD card not just class:

partition alignment

partition type

format options

mount options

readahead settings

etc.
[Legend Android Development] m1schi:
Not going to try and use it yet, but I'm curious now. When using this, you're automatically having all of your apps on your sd card and the app2sd feature isn't needed anymore, right? And your phone gets a speed boost when using it?
[Legend Android Development] HpX:
Apps on sd-ext = yes

Speed Boost, sometimes yes, sometimes its laggy as hell
[Legend Android Development] Rapier:
Stupid question. How do you guys get 1600+ in Quadrant on CM7?

For me Quadrant is not finishing tests due to the 3D graphics not working. But even if it'll work, I don't think I'd get so much. On CM 6.1 oc'ed to 787, I'd hardly get 1150. Is it just due to overclocking or this data2ext is speeding it up?

You're welcome, it's the first time I'm usefull in this forum after take lot of tips and tricks so thank YOU.
[Legend Android Development] BlaY0:
On stock ROM 128kB read ahead is set by default via init but there's the catch that I found by mistake... sometimes SD card is not yet available when above setting kicks in so it actually does nothing. If booted connected with USB cable (charging), SD card is availabe (settled) sooner thus above setting works almost all the times.

To avoid that race condition, you have to actually set read ahead after SD card is settled (that while routine querying /sys/block dir I introduced in 1st test version).

[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
It shouldn't be mounting to sd-ext anyway
[Legend Android Development] Rapier:
TGM thanks. I've tried to install data2ext (EXT2 since I couldn't install S-Off and CWM3) and I think it worked. After several checks, I see now that the "internal phone memory" is shown as 1GB so I guess it worked (ext part is 1 GB). Still, the Quadrant benchmark is 1150 or so. Should I do something else to get 1400+ (I even saw values of 1500+)?

Something else. Even if I select in CM settings to have apps installed only on internal memory, when I go to Settings-Applications-Manage Applications, I still see some installed on SD card. Shouldn't all be on "internal memory"?
[Legend Android Development] ojessie:
I didn't removed it. I just restored my CWM 3 backup and I get data2ext2 back. Basically data2ext is a good method to get additional storage the only reason why I would like to change to data2ext4 is the higher reliability. With data2ext2 I had always reboots when using Titanium Backup for full backups and it happened once that all my data including the mount was destroyed. So I thought its a good time to change to data2ext4 but what ever I try I cannot get it to work. So just know I'm again restoring by backup and I'm back to data2ext2.

Regards
