FYI I grabbed the kernel source and cross toolchain, installed the toolchain to /opt (on my desktop Linux box) added the toolchain's bin directory to the start of $PATH, edited the (iirc - am posting from a Windows box) build.sh script and the kernel built fine first time.

I need to set the path to the raminitfs file in .config and then try again and make sure it boots ok

Anyway just a post to say that it must be your setup. I see you have installed the toolchain to /home/max/GalaxyTab/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/ and in your latest post there's the following error: make[1]: /opt/toolchains/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc: Command not found

So there's obviously a path problem there. I also see you're using a plain "make" command without setting the ARCH env var.

I'd recommend giving the build.sh script a go (after editing the toolchain path), as it sets up all the env vars, etc., for you automatically.

okay, I was missing a file went I was doing my repo sync... which didn't make sense but i got it worked out... finally able to compile going to apply the patches and recompile and will repo, but thanks for the people who did help figure out the issue...

Does anyone have an untouched sprint kernel pulled from a device? I rooted mine and it's seeminly impossible to pull the initrd out of it.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] jstigall:
Nevermind, I got it... I have a booting Sprint kernel that works great.

Do you have a link to the patches you want to include, I may be able to get the CPU frequency adjustments you want to make built.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] maxjivi05:
Currently there are 2 files that tell the kernel the freq to run at, and 3 spots at the bottom of each that need changed. Located in /ARM/ARCH/OMAP something I need to get more info when I get home I'll edit this post and let you know but there is a file called cpu24xx.c and cpu34xx.c, I was going to compile a working kernel with those files edited to run 1200MHz to test and see if that would work if that didn't work there were some patches made on the other galaxy s devices I have links to thanks to SetiroN for providing, which they are a little different then the files for the galaxy source but I'll post it when I get home and have time!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
Question:

Has anyone with an Incredible (or htc device?) ever gotten close to filling up the 748mb's of phone memory? What's your maximum?

I know there's a weird storage notification that comes up w/ the Incredible, and correct me if I'm wrong, no one TRULY knows why it happens, right?

So I'm trying to install the MiniSquadron Special Edition. I get this message: "Sorry, there's not enough space to install this item."

I have 487MB available space free in my 748mb's of phone memory.

Why can't I install this item? I am NOT getting the "Low SPace" or "low storage" warnings on my phone currently.

HTC recommends a hard reset. Took it to Verizon today, the tech told me the same thing. Said it *might* fix things. I actually had to teach him that the 748 mb phone memory was not RAM, but what the phone allocates for apps.

Do I have to hard reset? Any solutions? I have a suspicion that if I DO do a hard reset, and reinstall the exact same things on my phone... the same thing will happen.

So, I reiterate my original question:

Has anyone with an Incredible (or htc device?) ever gotten close to filling up the 748mb's of phone memory? What's your maximum?

Or does everyone get this problem, and there's really only 300mb of storage?

*and to top things off my phone randomly vibrates when the screen's on.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigman:
Yes. A lot of people know why this happens. Data for user apps is stored in folder /data/data. This folder is limited to 150 mb. If you get down to less than 15 mb available the warning message starts appearing.

As far as I know, nobody has found a way to expand this limit. Apps that can use up a lot of that space are google earth and saving a lot of emails or text messages. If you're rooted you can use root explorer to look at this folder to see how much space you have available. Only solution is to cleanup old texts and emails or uninstall apps.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
oh, so the low storage warning comes from the DATA that apps use, not the apps themselves.

i'll just be diligent in trying to clear out my emails and texts.

do you know why i am getting no low storage warning, but it still tells me that "sorry, there's not enough space to install this item?"

or is it the same thing?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigman:
On the market it shows minisquadron special edition at 23mb. I don't know if that means app size only, or app plus data. But I assume since you're receiving that message, there's not enough room in /data/data to install the app.

I'm not sure how the developer that started the thread I'm going to post a link to here feels about me pointing people to his thread, but I think this person has made a good attack on the /data/data problem.

It's worth looking over. I'm a beta-tester for his app, and it's saved me > 50% of the space I was wasting in /data/data. I'm using the linked loop filesystem on the /sdcard approach mentioned in that thread. Google Earth alone was taking 50% of my usage (30M), now is taking ~< 1M).

Anyway, worth checking out::

thanks for the link! i'm not rooted... but this makes me want to try and root.

i guess i'll have to be paranoid about clearing data and stuff like that.

will clearing facebook data erase the links set up in my contacts?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigman:
If you're referring to the notenoughspace app linked above, it doesn't clear your data. It instead allows you to move selected application subfolders to the sdcard, which frees up space in the /data/data folder.

You can clear data for user installed apps thru Settings> Manage Applications. But don't think I'd try that for facebook. Clearing cache is a safer option.

Data for an app is all the information an app needs to run. If you clear data, the next time you start the app it will be like a fresh install and all the required data will just be recreated anyway.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
so, i forgot i wanted to see what you guys have--

how much memory do you guys have on your Incredibles? how much space is filled up?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
I think, for me, that ~750M of memory (and I mean memory for applications) is fine. I haven't yet gotten more than 200M of that in use and doubt I will.

The more important figure isn't memory (DRAM/App Memory), it is what we were talking about above. It's the size of the separately mounted /data/data partition which is, I think, only about ~160M. Even on my relatively sparsely populated Inc, that partition was nearly full. Google Earth uses 30M in just libs there.

That's what NES, the app above, addresses, so there is a way out, especially now that the dev has allowed usage of a loop partition in the /mnt/emmc partition. That allows the /sdcard to still mount with a USB cable without any contention.

Anyway, the thing that made the Droid 1 so slow and easily bogged down was a lack of actual memory (250M if I recall), and the Inc doesn't have that problem a bit. The Droid 1 I had was overclocked to 1.1Ghz but was very slow by comparison to the Dinc. and I think that's all due to the amount of physical memory.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
well, the struggle for memory continues...

what would happen if i cleared the data for the facebook app?

it's over 32mb big.

i dont want it to erase all the contacts pics i have set up, although, is that facebook for htc sense? different?

on a side note, i notice that if i periodically clear dialer storage, aka text messages, that helps w/ the warning.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarge201:
If you are rooted you should be able to move the app to your SD card? Or am I wrong? I use root explorer and I can move any app I download to the SD card.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
no, i'm not rooted, unfortunately. maybe this'll be one of the reasons why i root...

anyways, no, i'm not, so i don't have root explorer.

know what clearing data in facebook app does?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
Rigman: I never saw this, but was under the impression that cache under the incredible was kept in two categories, one at a system level in /cache which is ~193M and the other at the app level which /data/data/{app}/cache covers. (which is helped by NES}.

So I'm thinking that based on your response, you know that this person's problems with data space are in the system /cache? I was just curious how you knew that. I'm also curious if that problem has been as big a one in general as the /data/data problem which I hear about a lot.

Maybe it can be tackled in some similar fashion by another NES type (or the same one) app.

Thanks,

Hashi
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzynco:
I have a 1 gb ext3 part on my SD card....

couldn't a soft link from /data/data to a file or directory in the ext3 work

to expand /data/data expanding the space? I guess as long the app opening

space didn't need it until after the sd card is available. Not sure how to

mount the ext3 part tho .... does Android have an equivilent to

/etc/rc.d/rc.local in BSD to issue the mount? or /etc/fstab (with a way to delay

until the right time in boot up)? Will power button power down unmount it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
Yeah, but that is basically how NES works (in my first post in this thread). It creates a loop partition on the /sdcard or /emmc partition, and inside the loop partition is an ext3/4 FS. This was it just appears as a single file, not a filesystem, and can go onto a fat32 formatted 'drive'. That stuff all works fine. There is a mount/dismount ability from either the app or term emulator.

The drift I'm getting here is that this thread isn't all about /data/data. Do you know if that's the case? I guess there is also the old /cache partition and thought I've not experienced it, it probably can also fill up.

I don't know why something similar to the above couldn't be tried on the /cache partition but this possibly gets into a messier world where you have to get in at init.d time and force a different sort of mount to /cache to open it up a bit. It depends on what sort of structure the fs has inside /cache. (and if that's a problem).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
Wow, you guys are good! Question is, is there anything I can do? Is this a google problem, or htc problem? Does this internal memory problem happen on motorola droids?

also, why does this problem still exist? Does google not know or not care?

On a side note, maybe you guys can help. When I hold down the search button to start google voice search, and speak something like " call mcdonalds, " it will try to call mcdonalds, and get the phone number correct EXCEPT for adding a " +1" before the number, which means it won't dial. Htc doesn't know what to do except NOT use this function, but to use vlingo. also, my google voice had some numbers show up with a" +1" . It's weird.

I think it's a htc sense problem, cuz non htc phones doesn't have this problem. Also, rooted users don't have this problem either.

Any suggestions? Would a hard reset help?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
I have a droid and took a look. It appears to be a Google thing, not an HTC one since my droid has ~95M of /cache and a similar amount for /data/data. It also has much less DRAM and without using the SD card for apps (apps2SD) has more problems than this. (mostly manifested by poor speed regardless of overclock,etc)

Why exist? Take a look at the google bug base, and well, you'll see how many problems exist ;) It's probably low on the list of things to do.

The other bit of this is that flash , although finite, could potentially be arranged in anyway via design. They could have given us more /system, more /data/data, more /cache, but for some reason these are the choices they made. The thing that maybe is unique to the Inc and I'm not sure of this is /mnt/emmc, which isn't hardly used for much of anything, so there was more room available for the MTDBlock{devs} to be used in other ways.

Sorry -- I'm out of answers ;) I'm hoping they do a better job say, in gingerbread, or whatever the lastest bit of 'hot peanut fudge ice cream' OS upgrade that is next on the list. If there is any hardware related restriction (that I can't see right now), then hopefully the fact that our Dinc's are somewhat done for generation-ally will mean that the next HTC's , Motorola's will do a better job from the HW standpoint as well.

INTERESTING...

i had to clear my sd card, so i moved all of the apps that were on there back onto my phone. i have taken up 500 some MB of space on my phone now, with about 200MB left.

VERY interesting. i know that the low space warning doesn't really have anything to do w/ the storage, but the app storage, i just never thought i'd see that much on my phone w/o getting the low space warning.

and i have NOT gotten the low space warning, too, btw.

and i'm willing to bet if i downloaded those apps instead of retransferring them back on my phone, i'd get that low space warning...

Who cares? I mean really.. I'm not trying to be a douche by any means. But think of this... We have TONS upon TONS of stuff for the G1 already... Metamorphs to make it "look" like Gingerbread, ton of apps, etc...

Why not let the newer phones have their chance too??

I say we take the software that has been bestowed upon us and improve it. Make it fast, more stable, etc. I mean really... Do we honestly need 45 ringtones, 27 notifications, news and weather, and all that extra "bloatware" in these ROMS right out the gate?

I think maybe we should focus on making a ROM or ROMS smaller, faster, nicer, etc. I know I for one don't "need" all that extra stuff in the ROM... And if I did, I could install it my SD card, keeping the ROM lightweight, fast and stable.

Now, I am not developer, but I damn sure am NOT afraid to try new stuff on my phone. :-) Look at my sig... The ROM I'm running is stupid fast and stupid stable, and I still stripped out over 10MB of "extra" stuff, and still have all the functionality that it was meant to have. Please see the attached pics. And PLEASE, post your insight on this...

1. full format SD card FAT32, not quick format

2. the first boot, welcome screen show, no touch screen, just wait for about 8 minutes,top LED not light,sceen can not be wake up by any key

3. remove battery and boot again.

4. boot into android, screen stop at lock screen, screen always light, can not goto sleep, and I can'n do anything, I touch the screen,but system is no response for me.
