What is the differences with

Apps2SD vs Data2Whatever vs data2SD etc... or if there are anymore that i may had missed out.

Which one is the best to use and most efficient to use?

Are there any instructions for the best way to free up internal memory? as it is near enough full having 15mb remaining.

HTC-Desire

Rom - Running GingerBread 2.3 GingerVillain 1.1
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildcardspv:
I can't really explain the differences too well, but there's loads of threads to read about it if you look.

For me, using Gingervillain, I find A2SD+ to be great.

I have a 750MB ext3 partition on my SD card, of which I have used approx 250MB (approx 35 - 45 apps plus the Dalvik cache), so I have loads of this left to use, meanwhile my actual free phone memory stands at about 110MB.

Gingervillain has A2SD+ built in, so if you make sure all of your apps are saved to internal memory, not SD card, they'll actually be on the ext partition of your SD card.

I followed this advice to move the Dalvik Cache to the SD card:

"For those off you who do not understand any off all the above about moving dalvik cache it is as follows. You got two options to move your dalvik-cache.

the first requires you to have the Android-SDK (or at least ADB) installed on your computer. If you don't have this, leave it.

What you do is as follows: in windows command prompt:

> adb (-d) shell

a2sd cachsd

you will see some rolling text and phone will reboot.

The second option is on the phone itself. This is the fastest way in my opinion. For this you need to download the app: Android Terminal Emulator from the market.

Start up terminal after download and punch in as follows:

# su

after that terminal will ask for superuser permissions. Allow these.

# a2sd cachesd

and again some rolling script and phonme reboots

I can't break it down easier then this.

Good luck

MOVING BACK TO PHONE:

If you are using Darktremor A2SD, just enter an ADB Shell, or terminall emulator on phone, enter su and type a2sd nocache."

Hope this helps

Hi!

I´m using RCMixHD Data2ext version, it´s very fast and smooth.

Also i tried A2SD+ and Data2WE, but with A2SD+ ihad to less free space and Data2WE was very laggy.

When using Data2ext it´s recommended a class 6 SD Card (I´m using class 10)

With class 2 or 4 you can get problems.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giallograle:
Data2SD performance

I'm using Data2SD with the Gingerburst ROM on my HTC Desire. I've just got a Vivacity and having looked into App2SD I'm going to load Data2SD on that too.

Data2SD is an elegant solution which uses the ext4 filesystem to create a single large internal memory space of over 2Gb (2Gb is the maximum size of the ext4 partition on the SD card, plus the internal partition) which the OS addresses seamlessly. The two separate partitions are addressed by the OS as a single ext4 space. So no need to move apps around, or problems if the wrong apps are moved. Speed is fine, but benefits from a fast SD card - as I'd expect any apps run from SD cards would irrespective of the software solution.

I recently upgraded from a 4Gb Samsung Class 6 micro-Sd card, to a 16Gb SanDisk Class 4 card. I have around 2Gb of internal memory, 70% of which is still free and performance is good - better since I got the SanDisk.

Class isn't a good guide to performance since it relates to the sequential access speed - continuous access typically relevant to big files like video or images. High sequential speeds seem to be achieved at the expense of lower random speeds and many Class 10 cards have very low random access speeds for small files. Phone apps frequently access small files therefore random access is a better guide to performance in a phone and I would avoid cards with any low performance in this area.

Here are the results for my SanDisk Class 4, whose

lowest

random read/write speed is the highest I could find:

Both my Samsung 4G Class 6 card, and the SanDisk outperform the unbraanded 2GB card which came with a T-mobile Vivacity I recently bought.

My SanDisk Class 4 is slightly quicker in use than my SanDisk Mobile Ultra - the phone boots and most apps load more quickly - around 10%.

Whichever approach you take to extending the internal memory of your Android, it's going to benefit from a faster random access memory card - I'd be interested to see if anyone else has found a card with better results.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digime:
Presumably you're syncing with Zune in which case remember it reserves a large chunk of storage space. This is empty space but, as it is reserved, it is subtracted from the free space figure Zune reports.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick109:
In Zune settings, if you change the reserved space to a lower percentage (say, 2%) then try installing a few apps, some of it will not be installed. So while you could keep a lower reserved space, it would be pointless if you download apps and games very often, because at some point you wouldn't be able to install any more without increasing the reserved space. The space taken by pictures, videos, etc is shown to you separately in the small bar before the reserved space quota (hover your mouse over them)

I personally think there is no need for such storage-management and it even confuses users to see ~2 gigs of space reserved by default with the first time you use it, so normal users would really be baffled

Hi all,

I am trying to develop a rom but I came along this difficulty: I can't find the sysyem.img. I tried to download a .zip file, only the folder named "system" came in it. And I tried it with a .exe and looked in "%TEMP%" no luck either...

Can anyone explain how I should extract the system.img?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
I guess your referring to a nandroid backup really. When you download a rom, it comes in a zip file which you can flash and has only a boot.img file (I think, can't remember off top of my head) so it can boot. It doesn't have anything else. You only see a system.img file when you do a nandroid backup. Everything that is in the system.img file is still the same as the system folder in a zip file.. more or less.

On "Theunlockr" (My guide for making a rom) It says

in both cases it is not the case.

So, can anyone help me out please?
[Nook Color General] Mr. Polite:
I know, its not truly bricked. But as of right now it'll only power up if connected to USB power source and will only boot as far as landscape Android text with a blinking underscore. Part of why I didn't get it fixed last night was my unwillingness to leave and aquire a larger micro SD card. I'll be leaving work in a couple hours to go get some stuff to get this thing working again (its 2 days old) heres the recovery plan:

Aquire 4GB + MSD card

Flash a stock 1.1 ROM (the one thats pre-rooted here)

Install (sideload) that stock joint

Read that Elephant book that comes with the Nook because its working again

From there I'm a little confused. Can I flash Clockwork to a MSD and then use that to flash CM7? Or am I oversimplifying here?
[Nook Color General] Kathand:
From my trial and error the only thing I have gotten to "un-brick" is to boot into monsters pack then switch cards (i used the 128mb version and it removed the rest of the space on my 2gig card) then format cache and system in the mount section of clockwork. then head to install zip and installed a complete restore to 1.0.1. when thats done I head to BN site and got the side load to 1.1.whatever and let it do its thing. From there your up to date and just like new and can then try and "re-brick" it. Ive had mine for less than a week and done this a few times now cause I am never satisfied.........
[Nook Color General] nswenson:
The nook is never bricked unless it has a hardware failure. One of the great things about the nook is that it has a very early hook in the boot sequence that checks for presence of a bootable SD card. Creating a bootable SD card is easy. Follow the thread which instructs how to make a CWM bootable SD card. You need to choose between the EXT3 or EXT4 version depending on which ROM you will flash. CM7 requires EXT4 version of CWM. If you try to use the wrong CWM version you will get the outcome that you just observed, stuck at android text. If you want to flash the stock 1.1 rom, then you'll need the CWM EXT3 version.
[Nook Color General] Calla969:
I had the exact same issue. I used this:

The internal CWR workaround is ugly to say the least. So if you NC should refuse to boot or bootloops, which I hope won't, flash this boot repair that I'm adding just in case. Just flash it, no need for formatting.. Use a bootable CWR SD Card.

from the HC v4 on eMMC thread and it solved the issue and I have since flashed just about everything available with success, including dual boot ROMs. I am using a 1gb card.
[Nook Color General] Mr. Polite:
I'll try this and see if I can get it booted. Thanks.
[Nook Color General] Mr. Polite:
That makes things much clearer for me. I knew CM7 required EXT4, but was unaware that the CWM flashed MSD would be properly formatted and couldent be bothered to boot in Linux to do it. Blame lack of sleep. Thanks!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
Hi there, I've been wondering myself that are there any possibilities that changing the Desire HD's baseband (I am currently using 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M) to another will help improve GPS fix problem?

I've tried changing gps.conf to my nearest NTP (I live in Malaysia) from "north-america" to "my" and it does help at times but still do not produce satisfactory results. Can be fast, and can be very slow. Sometimes once lock, the positioning goes crazy again. Tried others like GPS Status etc.

Is there any Radios that you can recommend me to flash on?

By the way I am currently using a custom ROM from Android Revolution HD (i.e. version 2.0.14). I read this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=840040 from mike1986

He strongly recommend that flashing either Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 or Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_SF to maximise performance, battery life etc. In the context of GPS, is this good? (If my assumption is right about changing Baseband for better GPS)

Thank you. =)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chezbel:
I use GPS very rarely, but I did test that I could get a position with the app "Share My Position" using these radios:

12.28e.60.140fP_26.04.02.17_M2

12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2

EDIT: also just successfully tried: 12.28g.60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3

I didn't see any noticeable difference, but of course I don't use GPS like you are using it. In any case it only takes a couple of minutes to flash between radios so it's pretty easy to test for yourself whether or not one radio seems better than the other.

Oh yeah, if you're going to change your radio you might want to read about radio S-OFF if you don't already have that. Here are a couple of links, but there are others:

This tablet rules.

I walked in BB, they had been open for an hour. I was the only one that preordered and the only Xoom left was for me. The guy said they sold the other 4 within the hour and none of them preordered.

I didn't have to pay an activation fee or the first month of service. I asked about the Buy Back program and I forgot to take my print out (ugh!). He said that it only applied to tablets that are 7" or smaller (those that are in the mobile department) but I when I got home I read the article and it clearly says the iPad is a part of the program so why wouldn't the Xoom be? I am going back up there after lunch to get it added to my purchase. I may not use it but its free so why not!

This is a slick machine, very smooth. All the BB employees were looking over the tablet. My sales guy turned it on just to make sure everything was working right and they were all slobbering all over themselves watching the boot up screen.

This started out as an educational exercise just to see if I could do it. That snowballed into what we have today. The goal was to build a high performing lightweight kernel and here it is.

This new 2.x version includes the ability to OC to 1.2GHz. You must use setCPU to enable it. By default the kernel will boot to use the stock frequency range of 100-1000Hz and work just like the prior versions of OverStock. With the use of setCPU you can expand the range to include 1.2GHz. Try running 1.2GHz without the set at boot option atleast a day or two to make sure your phone can handle the overclock.

I've added links to updated non-OC'd kernels. These all have Supercurio's Voodoo sound v7 update.

Includes:

Version 2.4.1

Use this at your own risk. Always make a backup before flashing. I would also recommend using neldar's SGS Kernel Flasher from the market to backup your current kernel.
