Thanks for your guidance and I finally successed in using this apps!

However, there is a minor difference in my process and yours.

As you mentioned, I need to type two lines of commands and press "yes", then type "su" but in my case, I typed "su" before pressing "yes" in my phone.

I guess this is probably because of the difference of the way I used to root my phone as I used Universal Anroot to root my phone.

update

the latest version of Link2SD is FAT32 compatible

so now you no longer have to partition and format the External SD card to have a linux ext2 partition
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Mioze7Ae:
You do still have to partition--you just don't have to use ext2/3 in the second partition (if for example your phone/kernel doesn't support it or you can't figure out how to get it working). Bakpinar explained to me that the reason you have use a second partition is that otherwise apps and widgets will stop working and disappear if you access the sdcard over USB. On Eclair those apps won't come back until you reboot. Apps and widgets also become unavailable when the card is accessed using USB in froyo with native App 2 SD, but froyo is designed to manage stopping and reloading the app list when the card is unmounted or remounted (stopping and reloading widgets doesn't work that's one of the reasons App 2 SD doesn't work with widgets).
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
thanks for the clarification :D

i'm actually planning to repartition my SD card to allow for more stuff to be installed directly to the SD card instead of Froyo's Apps 2 SD method.

seems to be the cleanest and simplest way to manage the Apps, and as you said it will prevent them from being "unmounted" when mounting the "USB mass storage device"

Greetings from HK~

First, pls forgive me, I'm not a natvie English speaker so I hope you guys could understand what I'm going to say.

After 5d22hr32s (bababa.... a few hours to study the script and Dexter's post, etc.), I finally got my phone upgrade to Dexter's 2.2ROM 1.3v from a clean 2.1 UK rom.

Everything goes fine, & I decided to install more apps so I choosed the Link2sd. But the probems came, when I tried to link apps from internal rom, sometimes the process let my xt720 frozen. Even I moved the same app like "Astro", it works like tossing a coin, success or freeze....

I dun know this is only a incident or bug of Link2sd (or Dexter's rom), if anyone knows how to slove, I hope you would help me~

ALso, look forward to fix the "Market disappear apps" problem.

Thanks for reading the story.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] 3rdstring:
I think to enable link2sd to work correctly with Dexter's Froyo you need Mioze7Ae's patch. If you partition your sdcard with an ext2/3 partition without the patch all user apps should be moved to the ext & hence no need for link2sd.

For the Market apps goto Manage Applications >> Market & clear the cache.

HTH
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] 298268:
Appreciated for your reply.

Mioze7Ae's patch, how to apply it to my phone?

I read the Usage Note, it mentioned about OpenRecovery, and what else I need to prepare? su? Put the patch in somewhere??

I'm a novice(may be dummy) linux user, would you pls teach me step by step? Thousand thanks~

[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Knoedelkopf:
Hey guys,

link2SD rocks but I'm having a problem right now:

I just have around 30 MB internal storage, but I linked all my apps (NOT the system apps) with their dalvik-cache. If I look up Storage Info in link2SD, it shows that every linked app seems to be successfully linked to my second fat32-partition (around 650 mb). But the internal storage is nearly full: just around 30 MB free, 143 MB are used. And I'm just getting 589 at Quadrant, is that normal?

using native 2.1, successfully rooted, milestone overclock @ 1GHz 60vsel,

Any ideas? Thx!

Please let me know which one is actually better Apps2SD or Links2SD. I am really very confused.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
Links2SD is easier to use

the only hard part is to partition your SD card with a EXT2 partition on the 2nd half of the microSD
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] tubekeeper:
I'm using the Link2sd with khalpowers V3 rom. Link2sd work fine but when I install the angry bird games, the games will auto go to the SD by the default app2sd. How can I disable the default app2sd in the V3 rom.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] khalpowers:
delete the app folder @/sd-ext and create link2sd folder @/sd-ext with root explorer ..reboot..
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] 3rdstring:
If you go to Manage Applications you can move the app back to internal memory & from there you can link it. There is also an app (Move2SD Enabler (root only)) that I think can set the default install location as internal.

hi all,

i've already done what it said,

1. Make a ext2 partition on my sdcard (300Mb)

2. I also copy ext2.ko file into /system/lib/modules/

3. i also already run this script on my terminal

insmod /system/lib/modules/ext2.ko

4. but when i run my link2sd, give me error message like this ,

"Mount script cannot be created. mount: Invalid argument"

please help me,

thank you
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Mioze7Ae:
Which ROM are you running?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] polda78:
i'm running on stock central europe, root with universal androot.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Woody:
Don't forget that link2sd description in the market says to reboot after initial install. I forgot this part once and had same problems as you did. Uninstalled, cleared cache for kicks and reinstalled. Rebooted then opened Link2sd and it worked. Think the reboot helps to enable ext partition, then you should be good. At least that is what worked for me.

And always remember, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Queenmantis:
do you still need to download app2sd now that you have added this upgrade?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] 3rdstring:
It's an either / or situation. You should use the apps2sd script (on stock 2.1, on the 2.2 ROMS the functionality is included) or link2sd, not both at the same time. The apps2ext method moves all /data/app to the sd partion, with link2sd ou can selectively move the user apps.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Queenmantis:
Does ext2.ko still need to be installed manually now that the change has been made?

done as per ur recommendation above also not avail.

really need help to have this link2sd.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] vertexodessa:
There should be the space between imsmod and /system
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Zachary57:
Yes, you should have a space : insmod is command and /system/.../ext2.ko is module to insert.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] vertexodessa:
I know. What about upper post?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] shahr321:
U r brilliant. Thank you. N thanks to riley as well. Thank you
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] vertexodessa:
U R welcome.

Also, you should try inserting "modprobe ext2" line to one of files in your /etc/init.d/ instead of "insmod /system/lib/modules/ext2.ko", if insmod stops working after reboot.

To check if it is currently working, there is "cat /proc/filesystems" command.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Zachary57:
If you can't do this with adb try running those command with terminal emulator (free on market)
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] vertexodessa:
Adb and terminal emulator both gave same result
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] shahr321:
I cannot fine init.d folder. Need to create one?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] vertexodessa:
That won't help.

You should find a way to launch "modprobe ext2" command at boot.

If you have root, try searching (AFAIR) "autostart for root" at market, then edit /data/opt/autostart.sh file(or something like that, look in description of that program)

BTW, this might not workLyou should try anyway), because of the "autostart for root" executes it's file after boot completes, but you need to mount ext2 earlier. Thus, you could do it by putting a line in /etc/init.d/00execatboot, or something, BUT this needs "run_parts /etc/init.d" or similar command in your /init.rc, and you cannot edit /init.rc since it is recovered every reboot....

So, the best way, as I think, is to flash custom rom with "run_parts ...." command in /init.rc

Sorry for my english

Hi guys, I see a lot of GB roms mentioning YouTubeHD, yet I can't seem to get it to work, I get the HQ button that's always been there, but not 720p, any ideas?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Well, mobile HQ isn't 720p either. I don't see why you would want 720p in the first place, your phone doesn't have that many lines?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cobhc:
I'm quite aware of both of those things, but it has been mentioned that YouTube works in hd for the HD2 running Gingerbread. And I know from my own testing that a 720p encoded movie looks a lot nicer on the HD2 than a 800x480 encoded movie.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Uhm I haven't heard of any of that, and Google doesn't hint anything in that direction either, I think you're confusing some stuff. A lot of roms support 720p playback, but not in Youtube.

720p in se doesn't look beter than a 480p video by the way, on the contrary. You don't see the lines your screen can't show, and actually this may even result in a slightly worse video because of it.

A well encoded 480p video is at least as good as a 720p video, problem is that a lot 480p conversions suck. But that's not because it's 480p, it's because of the conversion.

That's why I don't think we'll ever have 720p mobile video. It's just wasted bandwidth over a nicely encoded 480p.

Oh, and I think Youtube HD just refers to the revamped app. Not 100% sure though so don't quote me on that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Totally 100% agree. There would be more chance of performance issues with a downscaled 720 video on a 480 screen. It DOES NOT look better than a properly encoded 480 video. It is not physically possible for it to look better as your screen cannot show anything more than 480 pixels in each of the 800 columns. End of.

I'm quoting you ;)

Nah mate - it is the HD functionality in the "recent" update that gives it the name.

You got a fresh amoled from HTC just recently? Good luck with trade.
[Nexus One General] navillos:
why? what do you mean?

I didn't know if they still gave out amoled replacements. I thought they might mostly be slcd
[Nexus One General] mempf:
If you send in a AMOLED you should receive an AMOLED back and vise-versa.
[Nexus One General] navillos:
exactly. i tried to get them to send me a slcd for a replacement but, ultimately the repair center i guess calls the shots.
[Nexus One General] spbeeking:
Ok, i need to ask, how the heck do we tell if we have the amoled or slcd version? Because I really want to know.
[Nexus One General] mkrmec:
that's easy, look at the screen :D hehe

I don't know about the technical way... but there is a simple way... load a black backround.. and if it's not totaly black and you see a washed out black then you have a SLCD, if it's totaly black then it's a AMOLED.

You could probably see in settings or something.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
How anyone can "prefer" the look of SLCD is interesting, I gotta admit. Are there some alternative motives here?
[Nexus One General] mkrmec:
I'll give you a point on the text..

BUT

Amoled

- uses less power than SLCD (there was a test with 2 Desires 1 amoled 1 SLCD... it played a movie over and over amoled won the race by a few hours of playtime)

- has better colors

- SLCDs have burn in too if you leave it on too long just like AMOLED

- big gaps between pixels? you usually have microscope goggles on when you operate with your phone?

- it does a little better in sunlight

if you get a Swap for your phone then it's ok do whatever. If you're thinking of new phone wait for the uber named.. lol : Super AMOLED Plus screens
[Nexus One General] OJ in Compton:
I don't consider myself having good vision and the gaps between pixels and orange-red dots on the edges of white text were visible to me the first time I turned on the phone. It's grainy but still better than the iPhone 3G.
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
I wrote about black text on white background. I.e. typical web page or email, where black pixels typically are in single digit percent area. In this case amoled easily consumes more than double of the LCD power.

Watching movie is very different, where average pixel luminance is just a fraction of that.

If you want technical details look here, around the page 17:

http://data.4dsystems.com.au/downloads/micro-OLED/Docs/4D_AMOLED_Presentation.pdf

Don't know about you, but I almost never watch anything more than random youtube clip once in one or two months. So this advantage is totally irrelevant to me.

But I often use my email or read something up in the web, so that power consumption really hurts. It is actually the difference between "oh, ****, battery is already empty and I have two more hours to go" and "enough for a work day".

If over-saturated is better to you then yes. And no if someone prefers natural colors.

Really? I never had a burn in on any of my LCD's. And I got first traces of burn in on my Amoled after a month of careful use. Never set to 100% brightness, never left "on" for extended amounts of time.

I do not need any googles, I see those distinct pixels at a normal viewing distance (like 30-40cm). They are apparent enough to be noticeable every time I look at the screen. Every homogeneous area has that weird grainy texture. And I have just a normal vision.

Actually both are rubbish. But not due to the screen technology, but due to that silver glossy layer under the glass (digitizer I suppose).

They need to show first that they are any better in my usage scenario.
[Nexus One General] jstekl:
Well SLCD tends to look better in the sunlight, but AMOLED's colors are much more accurate (especially blacks, which look a lot like blues on SLCD).

Super AMOLED is the best of both worlds - decent performance in direct light, great, vivid colors. Too bad only Samsung's Galaxy S phones have SAMOLED displays.
[Nexus One General] eallan:
Hopefully super amoled plus will be the best of all worlds. No more pentile :)

Good to know ill get an amoled version in exchange.
[Nexus One General] deenn:
had mine returned last week after broken amoled screen, with an LCD screen.

this was in the UK though. i'm just as happy with the LCD :)
[Nexus One General] Memnoch30:
We know the differences between the technologies. What he's saying is that real world testing has shown otherwise. Engadget tested two Desires and the Amoled had better life. They even swapped batteries between the two phones and got the same results. There was another tech blog who tested Desires and found the same but its name escapes me right now.
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
Remains to be seen.

For example, the Nokia N8 has such a amoled display without pentile matrix. As far as I know produced by Samsung.

If this is an indication of what is coming, then I am not impressed. The color drizzle is gone, but weirdly enough there is a distinct red glow on the right side on the letters (white text on black bacground).
[Nexus One General] Tim4:
Blue instead the black on SLCD screens?

Is it some kind of joke? :D

SAmoled looks better in the sunlight, have no "view angle" and got true black.

But about colors - I dont think SAmoled got the accurate colors. Images/photos on SAmoled looks like they got 200% contrast.

I prefer SLCD.

Because they tested it with the movie, which probably got a lot of dark scenes. Super Amoled very good with black color that doest eat the battery, but on full-white scene it consumes about 800mw. LCD - doesnt matter if it black, red or white - power consuming always about 240mw.

Notice that i talking about Super Amoled, because i didnt find any power test of standard amoled and as i know Superamoled is more power efficient than just amoled

Since almost all websites, sms screen and a lot of other things (MIUI rom for example, its almost complete in white) uses white background with black text, not a black background with white text, SLCD will be more better. :)

I think LCD got better colors :)

Sony Super-LCD is kind of LCD screen, not an OLED. How it can burn?
[Nexus One General] death1246:
You have LED Displays confused with Plasma displays lol.

Plasma runs on gas fumes that burn images to its screen if its used in the same area for too long.

LED OLED and AMOLED are perfect battery savers especially on black bacgrouns and with black text it saved loads of battery.
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
What I am saying is that Engadget test is just one particular use case not necessary having anything to do with real world.

It can perfectly fit your real world (if watching movies is what you mostly do) but it has absolutely nothing to do with my real world. Since I usually do not watch movies on my nexus.

Knowing technology you should also know, that amoled energy consumption highly depends on the contents displayed. While amoleds commonly have advantage in films or photos, they usually are at significant disadvantage in email or web browser.
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
That link I posted earlier is about standard amoleds.

For example, on page 17 there is a small comparison:

typical movie: AMOLED 89mW, LCD 240mW

typical web page (not entirely b/w): AMOLED 442mW, LCD the same 240mW

While the absolute consumption depends on the size and brightness of that particular display, but the overall correlation still applies.

So, it does not surprise, that amoled won that Engadget movie test, since it consumes only half of the energy needed for LCD. Of course if you are not watching the arctic documentary :)

Run time is still less than double, since a some significant energy is going to the CPU to decode and render that film.

But in www case amoled consumes twice as much energy than LCD. If CPU is not working overtime, this could easily add some additional 70% of battery life.

Even if Samsung in their super amoleds eked out some 20% of efficiency, this still does not change the whole balance much.
[Nexus One General] eallan:
I can't find any details on whether or not it's a pentile layout. All i can seem to turn up are reviews glowing about the screen. They all seem to love it. I have a N1 and a Focus (SAMOLED) and i know the focus screen is leagues better than the N1.

The focus (Or captivate, etc) without pentile would be a fantastic screen in my mind. I'll be hoping for it.

I haven't seen/heard anything about the red glow.
