So the idea is to use something like link2sd, where space hogging games like angry birds, talking tom apk will be kept in the sd card and symbolic links are made (to save space). When these games are on, anyway I crank up the CPU to 1GHz (actually ondemand setting of setcpu will do it automatically). Other 'regular' apps will stay in internal memory for performance with lower CPU speed. So the bottom line is, infrequently used apps will stay in ext3 and we'll allow high overclock for them anyway.

I did my due search in google for a ext3.ko for kernel 2.6.29-omap1 but failed to find one. Hopefully someone in this forum knows. I might try posting the query in general android development forum for an wider audience.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jackfrost3821:
I don't really understand what is your problem but I have partitioned my memory card as ext3 for apps2sd. It works well. I have over 90 apps and still left with 75MB of memory.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kousik:
Fantastic, can you please post the kernel module? If you didn't do anything other than apps2sd, then the kernel module will be distributed alongwith. You can post the link to apk or zip, from which I can extract ext3.ko.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Are you certain it's mounted ext3? ext3 is backwards compatible with ext2. After ext3 partitions have been safely shutdown (i.e. the journal has been committed) they can be mounted as ext2 without problems. I suspect you partitioned it ext3, but the phone mounts it ext2.

You can check this by going to shell and running "mount" (no options). That will list the partitions and the driver that is currently used for them. For example the output on my phone includes:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd ext2 rw,errors=continue 0 0

which means that /system/sd is ext2.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kousik:
Well someone did know, and I discovered it on *another* thread. Including it for reference:

So I copied the .ko files and loaded them. Already I had my SD partitioned, and second partition is ext3 already, and I could successfully mount the same:

insmod jbd.ko
insmod ext3.ko
mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data/sdext

Thanks goes to dateno1!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] AllGamer:
THANK YOU!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] peshovec:
Can You explain this: is, with a class 2 or 4 SD card, which is very slow, non-journalled filesystem is a big headache.

regarding corruption of the filesystem, why dont you check it before mount?

for example my relevant entries in mot_boot_mode are:

#load ext and mount sdcard
insmod /system/lib/modules/ext2.ko
/system/xbin/e2fsck-or -p /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 > /cache/dalvik-cache/ext2check.log
/system/xbin/busybox mount -t ext2 -o noatime,nodiratime /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
/system/sdremount.sh

as far as i remember i get the e2fsck-or from some openrecovery:)

if you are curious here is the /system/sdremount.sh

/system/bin/mount -o remount,noatime /dev/block/mtdblock9 /data
/system/bin/mount -o remount,noatime tmpfs /tmp
echo 0 > /sys/block/mtdblock9/queue/rotational
echo 0 > /sys/block/mtdblock7/queue/rotational
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] darren_soh86:
i tried to mod apps2sd to use the ko files in order to use ext3. mission failed. hung on the white M. zz.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kousik:
I agree, checking filesystem before mount is A Good Thing. Unfortunately once a corruption happened, the repair tend to lose files. When I suspected corruption, I mounted the card from Linux and e2fsck always found orphaned inodes :-) I can tolerate some slowness (may try to compensate with overclock), but weekly once repairing filesystem is very boring!

Can you please post what exactly you have done? I edited mot_boot_mode (original is renamed with .bin) to append insmod jbd.ko; insmod ext3.ko; mount ... and that works!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] darren_soh86:
this is wat i tried
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kousik:
AFAIK you have to insert them in the 'other' order to resolve dependency. ext3 needs jbd to work. Swap these 2 lines and you should be good.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] darren_soh86:
OH. i see. haha. thank for the tip pal.

i edited it accordingly and it worked! woo hoo!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] trajano:
Force fsck on reboot

Maybe we can tweak the script to do a force fsck on startup. It may slow down bootup time a bit but at least you start out fresh everytime.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] kousik:
Yes but as I said before, if the filesystem is corrupted already for a damage, fsck will bring sanity back but will lose files. You can see orphaned inodes dumped into lost+found. Then you have to manually re-instate the lost files.

BTW I found that in Link2SD way, where you just keep the apk files in ext partition of SD card, you can mount the partition read-only. There is no chance of corruption. Only during moving packages around you need a remount.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] darren_soh86:
i found this link here with ext4.ko! but i am not sure if it works. wana check it out?

http://www.beagleboard.org/~arago/esc-boston-2009/lib/modules/2.6.29-omap1/kernel/fs/ext4/ext4.ko

this is the source.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] dateno1:
i have nilfs2, ext2,3,4 modules for 29 kernel :)

you can download from here

warning : if you want to use ext4 you will need to add it on your boot(mount) script

mount -t yaffs2 -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock6 /

add to top of script
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] trajano:
Gotten ext3.ko working

I got ext3.ko working on my XT720. I don't notice any slowdown compared to the ext2.ko version. Though during a phone crash the boot up time is seems to be slightly slower than the ext2. Hopefully it means that it is keeping things more stable and I won't have as many file system errors when I try to do an fsck on the drive.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mystraw:
ext4

You can use a ext4 module(ext4.ko) but have to do following command on linux PC (or maybe xt720 recovery mode)

tune2fs -O ^huge_file [I]EXT4_PARTITION_OF_SDCARD[/I]

Because ext4 starts to support for large single file feature, and it must be included in kernel.

But kernel on XT720 not supports this feature, so mounting a ext4 partition would be failure.

Removing this feature supporting, you can mount the partition.

(And I think last code mounting mtdblock6 is useless, it is cdrom partition, and I have used ext4 without that command :)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] dateno1:
hmm.....i success mount ext4 first time but i can't mount it on boot script for app2ext

so i found a solution

that is add code (i don't know how it work)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Where do we have to copy the ext3.ko file? SD card root directory ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
What ROM are you using? ext3 support is already included in the recent froyo ones.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Currently I am using khalpowers rom. But my apps were all installed at internal memory, I don't know why.

My ext3 partition is also 30 mb full.. but what is that? why isn't it empty if every app was installed at internal memory?

tried using link2sd to move my apps to ext3 - crash
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] khalpowers:
U need to create app folder on ext3 to make app2ext running properly..if u want use the link2sd then u need to create link2sd folder on ext3 ...after create folder must reboot the phone...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Knoedelkopf:
Can I do it with Root Explorer ?

I am a bit confused right now.. with your rom there is a programm called "app2ext", right?

so using "link2sd" would be useless.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] 3rdstring:
I think the apps2ext is a scripted function that will only execute if the app directory is there.

The difference is that apps2ext (if the app directory is there) will move all apps to the ext partition & the link2sd method (which requires a link2sd directroy & the link2sd app) allows you to selectively move user apps to the ext partition.

You can do one or the other. If you prefer the apps2ext approach you don't need to do anything with link2sd.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] d23wilson:
Link2sd is great....it does what apps2ext does but is closer to the native froyo apps2sd function (found in settings/applications) in that you have control with a user interface..BUT...again is better than native aps2sd because it moves the whole program and dalvik cache (if u wish) to sdcard ext* (* being etx2 or ext3).

Native froyo only moves around half the app size to sdcard, and again only if the app author allows you...which more than half don't offer (the ability to move to sdcard that is)

So I say you are definitely overlooking the pros of link2sd.

How can I get access to my ext3 partition? By using Root Explorer ?

ah... in root explorer there is a folder "sd-ext", that should be the ext3 partition

in this folder i created another one "link2sd", then reboot

everything right so far ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mrmako777:

I live in a country that currently has no marketplace support.

I have registered a Live account for the UK so that I can at least download free apps to my Phone.

I would like to register for a development ($99) account so that I can unlock my phone for development.

1) Any tips for a successful registration are welcome.

Microsoft announced that marketplace support for my country will become available somewhere this year.

2) Will I be able to 'transfer' my developer account / change my Live account so that it will be valid for my country's marketplace or will that require me to pay another $99 to Microsoft for a new developer account?

I read that multiple Live accounts can be registered on a WP7 phone.

3) Is it a good idea to create 2 different Live accounts: 1 for normal/personal use (email, calendar etc.) and 1 specially for a development account?

4) Would it be preferable to register the developer acount as the second (not the primary) account on the phone?

5) Is it possible to create a developer account for a country that currently has no marketplace support, register it on the phone as secondary live account, and register a primary Live account for a country that does have marketplace support (e.g. UK)?

(I wish Microsoft would not have made it so difficult to start developing for WP7 for people in countries that don't have marketplace support yet.)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martani:
GeoTrust are so rude in dealing with registration for the app hub.

I am a student in country X and I provided them with my passport from the original country Y, and my driver's licence from the original country Y and a receipt for an ID from the country X where I study.

... and they didn't approve my application. They claim that I have to provide the residence ID from the country where I study (which I don't have right now, but the receipt is the one used whenever the ID is required!)

Voila, I beleive your case is impossible compared with what I've been through :cool:

:confused: I would also like to have a marketplace developer account. My university is in the msdnaa (dreamspark?) program but as I am in latin america they will probably take 2-3 more years to bring the service here. (Xbox live arrived last november).

The only way that I can imagine to get your applications submitted, is to get a "front man" in one of the available countries.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basquang:
Me too. I'm a MVP and would like to have developer account. But I can't.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigrating:
You will not be able to register on AppHub unless you actually live in a country where marketplace payouts are available. The key word here is payouts as there are a few countries with no marketplace access for purchases but where you can still register as a developer. Have a look at "Regional Information" towards the bottom of this page.

This is a moot point as you are unable to register using a, e.g. UK account unless you live there - and can prove it. In short; unless you can provide GeoTrust with proof of identity and address in the country you've told them, you will not be verified and not get access to your account.

That depends. If you have the opportunity to create a new Live ID using your business email that would likely be preferrable as customers can contact you directly thru your Publisher name. It really makes no difference to the way the accounts work on the phone though.

Yes. You would want the primary account to be your "personal" account as that's where it will upload photos, pull OneNote books and sync contacts/calendars from by default.

Yes. Although see above for caveats. This is the only way to get Marketplace access though, so unless you can live with "free" apps only or know mktplace is being rolled out in your country within the next few weeks or months - it's what you have to do.

Also of note is that your AppHub account does not have to reside on your phone at all. You can leave it on the desktop only and still unlock your device for development using the provided tools.

Finally, if your country has neither purchase or payout access to the marketplace the only other option is to use something like Yalla Apps or a friend from an approved country as a front man. I've done this for a few people already so if that's something of interest PM me.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voluptuary:
ok, I don't know how helpfull this info is but, once you have a developer account you can unlock multiple devices then use one of the many registry hacks out there to prevent your phone from relocking, even post-nodo, then after the hack is applied you can remove the phone from the developer account and unlock a different one. So if you can your best bet would be find a friend whome you trust with an account and let them unlock your phone for you, or someone at your school, maybe you could even pay them a small handling fee.

Hi,

I have a Tmobile HD2 and I would like to know if anyone can recommend a rubber hard case that will not scratch the housing. I used to swap batteries daily and thus I will be removing the case when doing so - I would like a case that can be easily removed without scratching the phone.

Anyone please?Thanks!!!
[HD2 Accessories] apallohadas:
If you just want a gel silicon case, they're super cheap on ebay. One is as good as another.

However, if you want a rock solid case that will protect your phone without scratching it up, the OtterBox Defender is what you want. A lot of us on the forum have it.

It takes me about 15 seconds to take it off, pop the battery, and put the entire case back on. I watched a review on Youtube, and the guy must have been half retarded because he fumbled around like he had 6 thumbs. Don't pay attention to that kind of crap.

If I can borrow someone's video camera I'll tape myself removing, popping the battery, and replacing the case.

Bought this one and it's great! Very easy to remove and it blends with the phone fantastically! Great stuff and cheap too!

Well, I think it's fine to have them here, because it's Vibrant devices that we're trying to get these to work on, as the Vibrant Plus isn't even out yet.

I think it is definitely important to put brick warnings on these builds, as they can't be applied to our Vibrants without the devs working them first, but I do think they belong here.

There should be a Vibrant 4G/Plus forum as well, but that doesn't mean we can be listing these builds here if they are getting modded to run on our phones.

My $.02
[Vibrant Android Development] SamsungVibrant:
I have the same concern. I still don't understand why these Vibrant 4G roms are being posted in the original Vibrant forum. Makes no sense if you ask me.

They are two very similar phones yet still different, Vibrant 4G should have it's own forum, and all these roms should be there.

Then again what do I know.

edit

On second thought, I guess they are posted here so devs working on the original vibrant can use them as resources. Then again, devs were using international galaxy s roms for the vibrant, but those were never posted here. I don't know, I guess it doesn't matter as long as someone new doesn't flash it.
