Native App2EXT [Magpie] by Firetrat & NLJ with native EXT partition mount via Vold [xVold] by NLJ (Control via Extras/Settings)

I suspect the EXT4 requirement has something to do with the xVold.
[G1 Android Development] Effdee:
well it shouldn't

but yes it explicitly asks for ext4

https://github.com/NameLessJedi/android_system_vold/commit/ec364df95c86c7fefa723ace65c0d8b021bdb0de

it should at most ask for ext3

ext4 can be mounted as ext3 as long as the ext4 was not created with extents

and as I said above there is no good reason why extents should be used on android

Honeybread Froyo Metamorph

I have not rec'd any feedback on anything that needed repair, so here's the final metamorph of the Honeybread Froyo theme.

Download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6409094/Sisterchick/Honeybread_Froyo.zip

Virajss has a nice Honeycomb boot animation to go with it if you'd like: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1005424

Flashable Stock Laszlo 5 (good to have just in case) - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6409094/Lasz...zlo5_Theme.zip

How to use Metamorph

Always Nandroid before flashing any theme.

1. Download and install the Metamorph app from the Android market.

2. Open Metamorph, allow checks and Superuser. Press menu, open settings and increase Metamorph Delay to 3500 or so.

3. If this is a new theme, choose Unzip/Extract new theme and navigate to downloaded theme zip file on your SD card.

4. Click on the zip file and Metamorph will extract the theme files automagically.

5. Information about the theme may be displayed. Select "Close" when done.

5. A list of all the sub-themes will be displayed. Click ‘Apply All!’

6. Select "Continue" to apply framework-res themed files.

7. Reboot if it doesn't happen automatically.

Tips:

- Once you have completed all the checks in the Metamorph, you can Disable startup checks in Metamorph settings. You can also Disable the warning regarding framework-res too.

- After you've Metamorphed once, you can delete the theme zip file from your SD card if you'd like. The extracted theme is saved in AndroidThemes on your SD card.

Another thing is that when the phone is idle, it goes to sleep but the keys blinks on the phone in a symmetry just like the led blinks for notification. Then if i click the end button and lock the phone manually it goes well. I don't know why the keys blink when it goes to sleep automatically ?

Otherwise the ROM is best :cool:

TO FLASH A KERNEL ZIP FILE

Save the kernel to your SD card.

Reboot to recovery.

Make a nandroid + ext backup.

Wipe cache and wipe dalvik-cache.

Flash kernel zip file.

Reboot.

Done.

Reinstalling the ROM is not typically necessary.
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Hmmm ... why do you suggest to wipe cache and dalvik-cache when flashing a new kernel? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
You're absolutely right...it is not strictly required to wipe cache and dalvik-cache. It's personal preference, I guess. I figure may as well take out the trash while I'm there and get a clean start. Depending on the system and how long it has been in place, may speed things up a bit and give the best performance with the new kernel.

im not exactly sure how to do it and seeing how its not that useful to me i just didnt bother just thought id tell you why you cant use the search thing

if it is important to you im sure someone here who knows more about it could help you out

No not from the sd card, but completly from the rom, I have a mytouch 3g, love the rom but automatic app2sd is killing me, my phone has sufficient space to keep all the apps on the phone, the reason I hate apps2sd the most is my apps get corrupt somehow after a few days, I've tried to remove ext4 from my sd card and put it in, but get a damaged sd card error when the rom detects there's no ext partition. I know my card isn't damaged I have 3 spare new ones I can use if that was the case, I remeber reading somewhere that the code for apps2sd was on the userinit.sh or something similar to that, thanks for your response.

For me the same. I've no need for apps on sdext, so I set to internal.

Anyway some apps are still installed on sdext.

Nand backup worked for me, but apps on sdext have to be reinstalled (package name is shown under app manager but app got lost:confused:).

I once tried to install this rom without ext partition.

It booted but was very likely to freeze or reboot.

Neither of these problems are typical. It could be an app you've installed causing problems. My suggestion would be to wipe cache and dalvik-cache and fix permissions. If that doesn't help, do a SuperWipe and reinstall the ROM.

lately I've been having problems with my internal memory. since about a week or so my internal memory is getting lower and lower even though it really shouldnt. I have uninstalled apps, cleared the cache many times and moved some of the bigger apps on my sd card. most of my other apps I got on the external anyways. so how is it that my internal memory keeps getting lower?

Can anyone help on this?

Want to hear a funny one? I don't need apps to ext either and I've been having troubles with Nandroid restore, presumably because of the stuff that gets stored in the ext4 partition.

So...I just installed plain ol' CM6.1 just to see the memory footprint compared to Laszlo. I used Titanium Backup to delete the extra ringtones and system apks I don't need. Here's the funny part...it is running very fast - as fast as Laszlo - and I have more available RAM than before. We'll see what happens over the next few days.

How exactly do you determine free ram, and under which conditions?

For me the amount of free ram varies continously.

For example if I type "free" in terminal I get a different value almost everytime.

And the value of free ram given by "free" never matches (at least approximately) the values reported by adv. task manager or auto memory manager.
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
Like you said it "varies" for each person based on what they have installed on phone and how they use it. For me i always have around 25-35 mb free never below that. I dont think anyone will ever have the same ammount free and thats what makes android the best, customization to the fullest.

yup as a matter of fact i do have adb and fastboot i have used adb for running firerats patch file and other stuff :D but i dun know much about fastboot
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
very similar actually just that to run fastboot, ur phone need to be in fastboot mode, which is camera+power button.

so turn of the phone first, and do camera+power, you'll be in fastboot, then just run fastboot devices in cmd to check whether the pc detect the phone or not, and after that, you can just follow the steps by eztery
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Yes, if it is done incorrectly, it can brick your phone. Just remember that you have to flash the radio before the SPL. There are flashable .zips of the radio and SPL, but I highly recommend that you DON'T use it. It is way more likely to mess up your phone. Use fastboot. Its really safe.

Great rom so far! just one weird hiccup

i flashed the minimalist green theme by Mattdrumz and somehow it changed the laszlo bootanimation to the default android, i know how to change bootanimation, the problem is i cant find the original bootanimation inside the rom or the rom's .zip file.

i found one boot animation under p\froyobylaszlo-5.2\system\bin

but there is not format to it, and i have tried opening it as zip but still cant

i'll be glad if someone can point out or hint me on how to extract it :D

thanks!
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
FBL doesn't have a boot animation.zip. The files you need to push are in framework-res/res/assets/images and framework-res/res/assets/sounds
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
Thank u very much for the hint, i have extracted the image from framework-res.apk, can you guide me on how to recompile it into .apk file?
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
My test with CM6.1 is going very well! I am using Farmatito's non-BFS kernel and battery life is excellent. I had 70% left after 33 hours of light use. (No GPS, wifi or bluetooth.)

I'm running a stripped down version of CM6.1. I used a flashable install script I made, plus Titanium backup to remove a lot of stuff I don't need: CMWallpapers, Gallery3D, LiveWallpapersPicker, Music, Protips, RomManager, DSPManager,YouTube, CMStats, Talk, Vpnservices, Voice search, Google search, HTC Copyright, Browser, ADW Launcher, plus all the ringtones and notifications that I don't use along with the CM boot animation.zip. I made a custom tiny Gapps, that did not include anything from the market and a static boot animation. I installed Gallery 2D, Opera Mini and Zeam Launcher to replace the stock apps.

Basically, I made it match the same setup I was using with Laszlo minus Magpie installing to Ext4.

I'm using custom MTD at 80/2. My current System size is just under 70Mb. With all the apks I use installed internal, I've still got 42Mb of space on Data. I am also using Auto Memory Manager with a modified aggressive setting. I consistently have about 26Mb of RAM available.

EDIT: I ended up wiping and going back to Laszlo because of problems with Metamorph and CM 6.1. That was a deal breaker for me.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
It would be easiest to either push the files with ADB or use metamorph to swap the files out.

If you really want to make a new flashable zip, you need some tools, Update Zip and 7Zip. Get Update Zip Modifier by Daneshm90 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=717437. Google to download 7Zip if you don't already have it. Here is what you'd do:

1) Unzip the Update Zip files to your SDK folder.

2) Extract the Minimal Green flashable zip file into the "place here" folder.

3) Right click on framework-res.apk in the framework folder and use 7zip to open the archive.

4) Copy new files to assets folder and close zip.

5) Double click script.bat file in the Update Modified folder.

6) Choose no when asked if you want to clean out previous update-script.

7) Choose option 2 to create new update script.

8) Rename newly created update.zip and copy to your SD card.

If you'd rather, you can get Metamorph from the Market and use the attached file below. (I added the assets folder to the regular Minimal Green Metamorph). All you need to install is the framework.
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
Wow, if one needs a pattern of "detailed", your post would be the best to describe it.

i tried the first method, but i got lose in the close zip part, i did try to flash several version fo it but it didnt work, then i metamorphed your theme but there are certain black bars missing, so i cheated :p, lol. i unzip the framework-res.apk, replaced assets and res from your MinimalGreen_MM with the unzipped apk version, and changed the boot image.

then i metamorphed it and everything works like a charm!

Thank you very much! Really appreciate it! now the whole rom is fully black+green from the recovery, splash screen, bootanimation, to the theme! :D
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
That is amazing, 70% after 33 hours, i am going to try this. does putting apps on sd-ext would increase power consumption? it would right? thanks, going to try the barebone setting as well
