sd card

Hi

I know it must have been asked about 100 times but I can't find an answer.

I'm getting new Sd card, how do I migrate to it. Or do I have to flash the rom again?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yea, it's been asked over and over, so much so that the question is in the faq and the resources section on partitioning. :)

Swyped with my Starburst based Desire. Please ignore any typos or grammos.
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
1. Nandroid Backup with old sd card

2. Save all files of the fat32 partition on you pc

3. Partition you new sd card (with gparted or amonra)

4. Copy all files from your pc to the new fat32 partition

5. Restore last nandroid backup from the new sd card

Do not try to boot you phone completely until 5. is done. Always boot directly into recovery.

Classic - Data2SD didn't work

After experimenting with Supernova I decided to come back to Starburst for a while.

I tried using the Classic edition, however after flashing, following all install instructions and rebooting, the Data2SD part didn't work - I only had 58mb free internal.

In the end I reflashed with Standard Edition and the Data2SD script, and its worked perfectly (as usual).
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It's better to list out the install steps when you report a bug. There was someone here previously who supposedly did everything by the book, except for changing the order of the installation.

So when you report issues, if you'd like the rom to be improved, list out the steps. If you're an enthusiast, you can even go further and provide the data2sd log file generated by the getlogs tool

Otherwise such feedback is not useful

Hi,

Ive just installed Starburst 1.4.1.0 and DATA2SD on my Desire, all went fine..

Now if i boot my desire it says that the sdcard isn't mounted. Do i have to add partitions (fat32/ext3/4) to my sdcard for this to work? And how?

Thx.
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
Did you follow exactly the instruction on http://starburstrom.wordpress.com/category/installation/ ? What partitions have you created on your sd card?

System process using 100% CPU bug

I've come across a weird bug. What happens is that the system process suddenly starts eating 95-100% cpu until the phone is rebooted where everything goes back to normal until the next time it happens. It seems to happen more during charging and nighttime than during the daytime but it does happen during both. It usually shows up every other day or third day or so and I haven't seen anything particular that happens at that time as of yet. Apart from the system process eating all cpu power everything works normally though slower than usual due to the lack of cpu resources.

How do I send logs to help with this? Considering it's so sporadic. I've gone as far as getting the watchdog app which alarms me right away when it happens (well with 1 minute possible lag). What else can I do? Naturally, when it happens the battery life is severely reduced on the phone due to the cpu hog.
[Desire Android Development] tebs:
Its a strange one but I experienced this several times on 1.3.3.5 when I was pushing the phone a bit with many apps running. After a few minutes I would have expected the cpu to idle but found the android system to be running close to 99%. Rebooting the phone will resolve it temporarily but I found it didnt occur after I performed a backup/restore. Like someone else mentioned it is possibly a system app locking up. Havent experiennced this on 1.4.1.1 at all.
[Desire Android Development] Hilton.Swart:
Picked up the same problems, when you go to power off your phone, does the power menu only show power off and reboot?

Mine doesnt show any of the other menu items as it does when the cpu is running 'normally'!

Also a htc.bgp.com error pops up every now and then, freezes my contacts (sometimes erases them all) and wont update. any ideas?:confused:
[Desire Android Development] tebs:
When i go to power off i have the following options; power off, reboot, silent mode, vibration mode,airplane mode and mobile network. What other options were you rferring to?

I have never seen the contacts freezing or deleting before. Perhaps someone a bit more knowledgeable than me could help with this. To help them can you detail what version you are running and highlight the steps during installation.

[Desire Android Development] Borat38:
I've got about similar consumption. I've used the whole range of 2.6.32.38 kernels by snq-, and for me the best one w/ regards to batt conservation and speed is actually kernel-bravo-2.6.32.38-leedroid-110416, and kernel-bravo-2.6.32.38-starburst-110416 comes in a close second. I'm currently trying out kernel-bravo-2.6.32.38-insertcoin-110416, and from indications, I'll be switching back to the lee kernel. Insertcoin took out a 40% chunk of my batt overnight, and the only process than ran in that period was Titanium backing up new apps and newer versions, which probably took less than 15 mins. Mind-boggling! :eek:
[Desire Android Development] imopen:
thanks borat, I'll give a try to leedroid one. ;)
[Desire Android Development] TigerSoul925:
I have the latest STANDARD version, dunno which edition you mean wth 1.4.1.1

I still have reboot and shut down on my power menu when the problem occurs.

Also what do you mean more specifically with that a backup/restore fixed it?
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Tried to upgrade from 1.3.3.4 to the latest version and wound up with a sort of boot loop on the initial home screen - where it boots up, goes to the home screen, then white HTC screen, over and over. Tried installing twice.

1) Back everything up with Titanium and Nandroid

2) Boot in recovery

3) Factory reset (wipe data / cache / sdext)

4) Install from zip (downloaded ROM file)

5) Boot first time - skip through all prompts - let settle down for a minute - seems ok

6) Reboot - green light comes up after a while - but never see the blue light that I recall

7) Loop of death - home screen / white HTC screen loop

The first time this happened I thought it was caused by having a SIM lock - so I disabled it and tried again - same problem.

I'll try again this weekend when I have more time - trying such things as reformatting the SD card ensuring the 'align' option is ticked in Gparted.

I'll also enable logging and see what that says.
[Desire Android Development] Borat38:
1.4.1.1 is the Classic Edition, which has Data2SD embedded inside. He probably meant a Nandroid Restore that he did after getting stuck on bootloop. :)
[Desire Android Development] Borat38:
DroidBois--

Save yourself the trouble of repartitioning. I've already suffered through the same trouble 3x this week, and always I got back to the home screen through repeated battery pulls. Tried everything you mentioned: complete wipe, repartitioning, reflash ROM, Nandroid backup, but the problem seems to appear at the reboot stage, so now I'm kind of wary of rebooting my phone unless necessary, like flashing something via Recovery.

Also, you don't need to reflash the whole ROM if you're only upgrading from 1.3.3.4 to 1.3.3.5, the only difference between the two is the kernel (2.6.32.31 vs. 2.6.32.32). You'll get an even newer kernel by getting the newest from snq- here. I've personally tested each one, and found the LeeDroid and StarBurst kernels to be the most trouble-free.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Borat, seems like your battery pulls corrupted the mtdblock5 partition. You will have to install from scratch.

[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
OK fair enough - the main reason I want to re-flash my ROM is it is becoming bogged down and error prone now - 3G watchdog keeps crashing and it's just slow as hell. I figured a clean out would help. I'm running on a 16GB Class 2 Sandisk card - could that slow it down?

I did get a boot loop the other week for no reason too and had to restore from Nandroid backup - strange as I reboot my phone daily (turn it off at night) - I thought that was advisable?

So there is nothing I am doing wrong then, I'm just unlucky?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It's a wonder that you're able to run data2sd on a class 2 card at all!

What really bugs me is that though Sibere and I are the guys who stress out our cards to the max possible, by testing out various scripts, none of these issues have ever plagued us.. touch wood.. ;)

Swyped with my Starburst based Desire. Please ignore any typos or grammos.
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Maybe you guys don't bog your phones down with stuff or you look after them better, I don't know. Do you use good brand name SD cards? I only use Sandisk.

Either way checking out the price of 16GB Class 4 cards seems quite reasonable although 32GB cards are still more than twice as expensive, so makes sense to stick with 16GB, so I might just get a new Class 4 Sandisk card and see if that helps. I also have a spare 16GB Class 2 card (that MSY in Adelaide, Australia ripped me off for after lying that it was a Class 4) that I will try this weekend.

I do seem to have more problems than others for some reason, maybe there is something slightly different with my first hot-off-the-press HTC Desire - it was one of the first batches to go out. I think I'll be due for an upgrade this year!
[Desire Android Development] Hilton.Swart:
Thanks Rakludnet,

I can live with the error, its the fact that my contacts are erased that gripes me, and even following the linked tread doesnt stop it...

Ive got into the habit of backing up my contacts on a daily basis, but would like to stop...

;)
[Desire Android Development] cordezz:
There are several reports about different sd cards which cause trouble with data2sd (FCs, data corruption...)

You could test your class 2 card with the programm "h2testw" and see if it is really only class 2. most sd cards are faster than they are labeled.

But even a fast, brand new card does not guarantee stable data2sd.

I tested two 16GB class 10 cards (Adata from amazon and Mustang from ebay), both causes the same errors.

Then bought a 16GB class 6 card (Adata from amazon) and everything works fine. My old 8GB class 6 card works fine, too.
[Desire Android Development] wingnutta:
Droidbois - if you are going from 1.3.3.4 to 1.4.1.1 like i did (well i went from 1.3.3.1 but should still be ok!) - follow my procedure below after restoring your Nandroid - it worked a treat for me and no wipe was necessary! Stayed on the white HTC screen for a good 8 minutes but just gotta be patient!

Good luck dude!

Must say the new ROM running a lot smoother than 1.3.3.1! - I am well happy. Gonna be trying Supanova ROM next, now that migration may be different! :D
[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
Thanks guys, I will test the card with the application noted above and see if that makes any difference. I don't mind losing all my data and restoring form Titanium as my phone is bogged down now anyway so I figure I should clean it out. Could be excessive phone logs or something, no idea.

Thanks for this suggestion! Testing using h2testw via Wine on Ubuntu now - getting consistent 4.5MB/s on my spare 16GB Sandisk 'Class 2' card and performing a full read / write verification. I will do the same for my operational card to see if there is any marked difference. Either way I will swap them across.

So I am currently backing up my operational card, I will partition this spare card using Gparted with 15GB FAT32 and 1GB EXT4 'MiB Aligned', copy across necessary files such as ROM files, ClockWorkMod and Titanium files, and try installing the ROM again from scratch.

Should I still perform a 'Wipe Data' operation once I install the new card, or just proceed to install the ROM? I presume I should Wipe Data just in case.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Wipe first, then partition. Don't wipe after that. Not really sure how that makes a difference, but cwm has a tendency to mount as ext 3 by default.

[Desire Android Development] DroidBois:
That's interesting.

Well I have tested the second card successfully, I will put the old card back in the phone, perform a factory rest from CWM, take the card out, swap it with this new card, and then wipe the old card and perform a full test on that while I install Starburst on the new card.

2) Replacement card Formatted - Gparted Log here (Aligned to MiB)

3) Copied install Zip files to FAT32 partition

4) Performed Gparted disk check on both partitions to be sure - log here

5) Commence format and check of current card

6) Commence install of Starburst using replacement card

Edit

Argh!!! Same problems as I had last time - not the bootloop but after putting the phone on charge it seems to freeze after a while with the screen staying on black and the charge light staying on orange even after pulling the charge cable, so the phone is completely frozen.

Also, when I rebooted, I got the green light but never the blue, and I have only 50MB internal memory, so DATA2SD didn't set up.

I have no idea... This is very upsetting and frustrating.

Oh well.

I'll try installing an older version and running the DATA2SD script manually.
[Desire Android Development] TigerSoul925:
- Oh... well mine doesn't happen that often, but it seems to be happening every day or every other day something like that.

Maybe I should try 1.4.1.1 classic edition then, has anyone else noticed the problem going away in 1.4.1.1?

Slowcards can lead to FCs due to timeouts. Buggy cards can lead to unrecoverble data corruptions even with safest options like journal. Data2sd deserves good quality fast cards ;)

Well my existing card is getting 5.3MB/s on the write test (yet to test the ROM partition though), although my new (spare) card that I am trying out now clocked at 4.5MB/s.

I'm now downloading StarBurst_1.3.3.5.zip and installing with Data2SDInstallerX10E_GB_simple.zip to test that version to see if it makes any difference.

Had same problem on two cards now - Sandisk brand so you'd think they are pretty reliable. I only use Sandisk.

So far no crashes. I believe this replacement card is actually *slower* than my original card, at around 4.5MB/s rather than 5.1MB/s - will that be an issue?

BTW my old card tested fine on the two partitions, slightly faster than the replacement card, with no errors.

So it was unlikely that my SD card was the issue.

Still on 1.3.3.4 here, am I missing out on anything?
[Desire Android Development] Borat38:
Nah, far as I could tell StarBurst Classic (1.4) is not that far off from 1.3.3.5, the main diff being the bundled-in Data2SD. You could try SuperNova if you want, it's not a Sense ROM anymore (word of caution though: camera is not working yet on SuperNova, this problem is common to all other GingerBread ROMs out there)

Edit: SuperNova

IS

a Sense ROM, thanks kl_arnet. I was thinking of AOSP. Mea culpa.
[Desire Android Development] kl_arnet:
It is Sense rom. Sense is that HTC's graphical UI.

It's not Froyo (codename for Android 2.2) but GingerBread (2.3).

Camera is working with latest data2sd for SuperNova.

Swyped from Desire.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I don't know exactly what problems you're facing with the camera..

But I can see no issues.. Tested both still and video cam. Both seem fine..

Here's a still taken just now..

http://img.ly/3L0t

The only bugs which plague gb that I feel significant is an issue with character selection in copy paste..not sure if it's a gb feature or a bug, but once a position is tapped for selection, the next time one clicks for copying it, the cursor moves to the new position of finger. In froyo , it used to remain stationary.

Another concerns the compass, which seems possessed. ;)

But on the plus side, the memory and process management is awesome..

258 mb of memory free with sense and 3rd party apps loaded on startup. On froyo, it used to be on the lower side of 100

Swyped with my Starburst based Desire. Please ignore any typos or grammos.
[Desire Android Development] Borat38:
Sorry, I haven't tried SuperNova yet. I wasn't aware that there's been a fix already. Great job, droidzone!

Btw, that bug where I get stuck at the HTC white screen from bootup still pops up occasionally, dunno why. I've already wiped all and reflashed, restored w/ Titanium. Maybe my phone's too hot and the cure is the 5-minute freezer solution.

Also, which memory are you referring to in "the lower side of 100?" Would that be the memory indicated right below "System Cache", where it reads "Total: 415Mb, Free: 101Mb, Idle: 22.68Mb" on my phone, for example?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It's the free memory.. Also known as available memory..

When you get stuck at the white screen, have you tried getting a adb logcat? The script has been programmed to sleep for some time if it detects a slow initializing memory card..that could be the script kicking in..
