[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:
can someone smarter than me help me or point me in the right direction to convert my updater-scripts to edify. i think im sort of getting it but i want to make sure because i'm not a programmer. for instance, is the update-binary file required or just updater-script? also, the code posted below, it what i've come up with for flashing my themes, is it correct? and will it work with the new recoveries?

ui_print("Preparing system for istallation...");
ui_print("Wiping Cache / Dalvik...");
delete_recursive("/cache");
delete_recursive("/data/dalvik-cache");
ui_print("Installing Project_Bliss HD...");
show_progress(0.100000, 60);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
show_progress(1.000000, 0);

i am unsure whether or not i will have to mount the specific partitions for data and cache for this to work. i can always leave that part out but the less the person flashing needs to do the better. if i do have to mount in the script will the code below work for just a simple theme flash.

ui_print("Preparing system for installation...");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mtdblock4", "/system");
ui_print("Installing Project_Bliss HD...");
show_progress(0.100000, 60);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

I'm still not too too familiar but I have played around with them a little. From what I understand so far the binary is what the recovery actually uses. dsixda's kitchen will make them and you can have it convert update to updater scripts automatically.

Usually I just look at how others have done it and go from there.

I know this question is answered somewhere I just can't find it. I watched the you tube video on how to fix the wifi problem in the cm6.1 build but when I put the info into terminal emulator and reboot, it's not fixed. I enter the info just as it is in the info with the video, anyone else having problems?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slimatic:
I also had the same issue but I found the reason why. I actually used slightly modified versions of the commands via adb. The youtube video I referenced was:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvS4EvS0PAw

The commands I run were:

# rm -f /system/lib/modules/*
# cp -f /sdcard/hotfix/* /system/lib/modules
# chmod 755 /system/lib/modules/

I noticed that in order for this to work I had to do two things:

1.Make sure the Wifi is turned off before you run the commands.

2. Delete/Forget the Wifi Network that you attempted to connect to. Trying to reconnect with the same remembered network did not work. You have to delete it again.

Hope this helps.

I did a hard reset a few days ago and those files disappeared from system/lib. Now I can't get the files to copy from sd card to root. Any way to fix that?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aal1:
OK, I got a class10 micro SD....tried some speed checks after formatting in Windows 7 64bit, using the SD card formatter, and using the phone.

For consistency, I formatted to fat32 and set the block size from default to the largest 64KB size.

Was copying files in Windows from the hard drive (7200speed 16mb cache drive) to the SD card and it never got over 4mb/sec, and usually stuck at 3mb a sec. I have a second class 10 card, but havent messed with it yet to see if it was a bad card or not. I ran a sd card test using the J card test app on the market and when I set it to the 8k size test, I saw 13mb/sec test, but the app said every time it couldnt write to cache, so I didnt know if it could be trusted.

I was just wondering how people were formatting their cards - via phone, windows, etc - and what level they found was the best for performance for class 6+ cards.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lviv73:
Mee too,i read that 32kb allocation is best.Would formating sdcard using Ext4 be faster then fat32/nfs?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aal1:
I didnt know if I should be smaller (instead of 64 of 32k) since most of the files that we run are smaller ?? maybe it would run faster, I dunno....

also from what i read, ntfs isnt supported in android....right ?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njett:
I would be interested in this as well. I have a 16GB class 6 card in my Epic, and depending on the CPU clock speed governor I use I sometime get errors recording HD video ay 720p saying my card doesn't support it. If I put the governor to ondemand it works well though.

I'll try some testing with the Jcard app to see what I'm getting speed wise. I formatted my chip on Win7 default settings. When I was copying my files to it in Win7 I was getting 7 - 9 MB/s speeds. That was with the integrated SD card reader on my laptop.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njett:
I did some testing on my Team 16GB Micro SDHC I bought on newegg a while back, its a class 6 chip. I think it matters a lot what program you use to test. I did not find a j card app on the market but I used two that I found called "SD Tools" and "SDCardTester". Wildly divergent results below:

SD Tools:

Write Speed: 13.6 MB/s

Read Speed: 17.4 MB/s

SDCardTester:

Write Speed: 6.32 MB/s

Read Speed: 6.14 MB/s

This card is formatted with the standard 32 KB sectors.

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 PM ----------

By the way, in general larger sectors should make for better performance, but the trade off is that you lose some storage. This is because the smallest amount of storage that can be allocated is going to be one sector. So if your sectors are 64 KB and you write a 8KB file, it will take the whole sector and even though there is only 8KB of data 64KB of space on the chip is used. In Windows, when you look at the properties for a folder, this is why there is a difference between "Size:" and "Size on Disk:" values.

Larger block sizes are generally better because there are fewer reads and writes to the device when saving a large file. For instance if you save a 1MB file on a 64 KB sector FS it needs to write to 16 different sectors, if you save the same file in a 8KB sector file system it needs to write to 128 different sectors.

Great Work!
[Fascinate Android Development] RacerXFD:
What is this?
[Fascinate Android Development] iofthestorm:
Did you remove all color from bash, or is it just not doing ls in color by default?

I would recommend people use something like mintty or console2 as their terminal on Windows instead of a regular cmd anyway, for anyone who actually uses the terminal frequently. Well, so console2 gets the same stupid behavior as the standard cmd with escape codes in adb for some reason, but it works with bash color escape codes in general (I have them in my $PS1). Mintty does support escape codes in adb shell, and is generally pretty nice, but doesn't have tabs unfortunately. Just a tip for people.

Nice job for those who don't want to change their terminal, of course. I just feel that for power users mintty is a better solution.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
It removes them from ls, which is which is the only place the problem will lie for most windows users. I require my busybox, as there are many versions out there, but mine is the latest, and I know it supports ls. My patch removes the ls binary from Android and replaces it with my own symlink.

As for those options, I will stick with my powershell, but thanks. A poweruser should be using Linux anyway (I do normally).
[Fascinate Android Development] iofthestorm:
Ah, yeah, that's probably true. But why is the default ls with colors in Android anyway? I normally need to create an alias to set ls to ls --color=auto or something along those lines usually. Is it just not getting the terminal info properly? I'm just curious about this I guess.

I'm a weird person who uses Unix shells on Windows, I guess because I like games too much.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
Its not. ls in itself is a binary, not a symlink. It is running through the bash shell. Bash, is what supports colors. By default Android does not run bash, but sh.
[Fascinate Android Development] iofthestorm:
Oh huh, didn't realize Android used sh by default. Guess I never paid attention.
[Fascinate Android Development] agsded:
Do you drop busybox in /system/bin to install it? That is, if you aren't flashing it from cwm.
[Fascinate Android Development] ChrisDDD:
Hate to be the bringer of bad news, but something in this breaks WiFi. After installing it, I can no longer connect to my router, it just stalls at "Obtaining address". When I check the router, it's already assigned an address.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aal1:
Im thinking about going to ext4 and got a Class10 SD card to make the change at the same time.

Are people re-partitioning, or growing/shrinking/moving their partitions for swap or cache - and/or moving them or specific apps to the SD card ? Seems like the class 10 SD card is about 2x as fast if numbers are to be believed, but I cant be sure.

I spent hours checking these forums and the net and just figured I'd post to see what you guys knew about this....thanks in advance for your help.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gTen:
All class 10 means is that once the card fragments the minimum will be 10mb/sec...not that its 2x faster...

In reality a Class 2 can and usually does run as fast as a Class 10..but once both card begin to fragment, Class 2 will be over 2mb/sec and Class 10 will be over 10mb/sec..

The NC wont even show the "touch the future of reading screen" and I cant get adb to find the device. I rooted when I had freshly wiped everything and downgraded to 1.0.0 then I upgraded to 1.0.1 then I rooted. It worked fine until after the hard reset.

I'm sorry for the double post, but I want to make this clearly visible when someone else has this problem.

I've done the same thing. I backed up with Clockwork to the SD. The Nook would only boot into Clockwork. So, I recovered and now the device will not power up at all.

This is an app that changes what carrier name is diplayed in for example the lock screen and the status bar. It requires root because it modifies system files, and because it uses root it's potentially dangerous. Use it at your own risk, I'm not responsible if your device explodes in your face!

I had much trouble figuring out how to do this so I wanted to spare others the trouble by making this app. Please send me bug reports so I can fix any bugs you find.

Update1: Don't use any special characters because it will be used in an xml file so for example a double quote sign will break the file.

Update2: This will probably not work on the evo with stock rom and will not work with any rom that only shows what network you're connected to. This app only changes the carrier name wich is taken from your sim card. There are some roms that allows you to change this for example Cyanogenmod 6 where you can change so that it shows your spn.

Update3: I'm currently working on making this app work on all android devices by patching framework-res.apk

This app is also availble on the android market for $0.99, please consider buying the app it would make my face go :D

That probably means your status bar isn't showing the spn, what the app modifies. If you have a rom that allows you to change it to spn it would work if you can't, you'll just have to wait for an update.
