yeah yeah yeah, I am using Odin3 to go to EB13 stock and doing a system dump of EC05.

I work doubles all week so it might be Saturday. just know i will be working on it none the less.
[Epic 4G Android Development] yogi2010:
i'm really loving the new release- it's fast and battery life seems really good! the only snag at all so far is i can't get visual voicemail to verify my account.... do you know of any fix? if not, i can always use PF Voicemail. Great job, bro!

update: i actually fixed voicemail! just did as suggested by the Impaler in his thread: restored voicemail data from a previous ROM using Titanium Backup. now this setup is complete... arright!
[Epic 4G Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
Ok members.... this is being abondoned. This next week im working on something that will be worth-while
[Epic 4G Android Development] 816jared:
hopefully it's something very similar because I'm a huge fan of this ROM, and was very disappointed to see that it's not longer going to be kept up to date
[Epic 4G Android Development] majinkakashi:
What are you talking about feefee, this is by far worth-while I love this rom thank for the hard work
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_varuker:
Connectivity Issue.

I keep getting a system update reminder on this rom. Its occasionaly blocking some text, cant use the internet and apps that require internet connectivity :( My gf really likes this rom so we wanna keep it but when i install the update in gets stuck on the samsung boot screen. So I have to wipe and reinstall the rom and the system update still comes up... Any Ideas!?!?!?!

EDIT: Nevermind i wasnt reading the newer post. Ignore this post and THANKS for the hard work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] diptenkrom:
are you still working on another rom? really like the speed and battery life out of this rom. only thing i did not like was no VVM. tried to get the fix for the cyanogenmod7 to work but it did not download the voicemails after the initial attempt.
[Epic 4G Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
in fact i am working on a new update.

i was having alot of problems getting EC05 to work for me.

but im on V.0.3 ATM of an update. this may or may not get released.

making sure everything is working right sense root is in the kernel now i ran into some conflict issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] running_the_dream:
I'll Shinigami another go round. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] majinkakashi:
I think you should release it since shinigami is still my every day rom please
[Epic 4G Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
nice i still have a followers... lol... im on version V1.0 now of EC05... im still doing real world tests to make sure its fully functional... i hate shotty roms, for this release i want it to be everything it needs to be...

thank you for the support, for sure. im glad someone is getting use out of my work.

as for the progress: i have root fully working, ad less browsing, no bloat, no boot animation, all apps updated and included in /system.

i have found some bugs in busybox (cant fix it tho so w/e), and a few tiny things here and there. flash player may not be working.. going to be testing.. but so far everything is going awesome...

iv also decided to do no wipe updates for better user exp.

im leaving xda for the reason. and as i stated above "at the moment" registration is required. this is temporary.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Fair enough, was just giving you a heads up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KL4V1CL3:
May I ask for a specific reason why? As a non-developer, I'm trying to understand why some devs are choosing to leave and attempt to create their own personal super-dev site in which they support numerous devices with some lofty goals.

Some reasons I understand, disagreements with community, management, problems with issue tracking, hosting, and again having a central place to keep track of everything.

But I also feel as if devs lose a lot by receiving less publicity, thus less feedback (albeit sometimes useless). I suppose some just troll through here or irc looking for developments and general feedback.

Are there any sites besides XDA that you personally like (beyond what you've created? It appears to me that sites like sdx are essentially dead for epic development and sites like android central seem to be fairly devoid of devvin' also.

Sorry about being off topic.

BTW, the picture of the epic section is not a picture of the epic on that site. Also, 1120 GHZ overclock!? :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] darkierawr:
Anyone else having problems getting the the Android RTK website? I've tried 4 different browsers. I guess I'll try again later

1.12ghz come on now.

lol yeah the epic picture is fail.

xda has become more of a resource then somewhere i want to hang out..

it will suck if this small change effects if ppl use my product..
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
I'm sure it impacted bonsai in a big way. If you don't wanna hang out here cool but there are some that actually treat this site like a community and not a whore house.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Esteway.619:
I think it sucks that we have to register on that site to download the rom :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] dazednconfused:
It states that its temporary and will not be required soon. Just wait if you don't want to register until its changed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] metalblaster:
this new version puts up crazy amounts of FCs on my phone... Never had a single problem with any other rom aside from this and bonsai. I think ill stick with ASOP or ACS.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Just wanted to ask you how do you get ADW to work when in the ROM,I've tried several times with no luck,is there a .so or .lib I'm missing?

[EVO 4G General] guitar jesus:
Ok, so my aftermarket cheapy car charger stopped working for my Evo. I've heard of this happening left and right because of current issues (1a, vs 500ma, etc). Well today I plugged my Evo into my car charger, doesn't charge. But I plugged a cable from the headphone jack into the AUX input of my wife's car stereo, and all of a sudden, I have a charge going. Take the cable out of her radio, it stops, take the cable out of my Evo headphone jack, stops charging. It's like the other end of the cable has to be terminated into something to charge the fun.

Has anyone ever heard of this issue, or does it sound like I have a hardware issue and need to take back my phone to get it replaced? Thanks guys, I always get good advice reading the forums here.

Would like to know if anyone have extracted the apk for the multitouch keyboard for the official froyo starhub release?

Correct me if I am wrong, it seems that none of the custom roms have it and I kinda like it alot.

Not sure if its the same one as the droidx multitouch keyboard that has been going around.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
You can take it from any of the stock Moto Roms? Why do you want it for? Are you not running Froyo?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] andeelym:
Sorry, cos I do not know how to "take" it from stock Moto Roms. Would you mind teaching me how to?

Well, I am running FroyoMod now but it does not have that keyboard.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
Wait for a few minutes. I'll create a flashable update for you.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] andeelym:
Oh wow! Thanks! :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
You can try this.

Edit : The flashable zip i told spoke about earlier is attached.

Please backup first before applying. Wipe dalvik and cache and then apply in AOR. Let me know if you encounter any problems. You may have to activate the keyboard in Settings->Language and Keyboard.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] andeelym:
I've tried but it kept giving FCs. Even when it is not selected. It'll FC twice before going silent for a while and it'll come back for 2 FCs after a while.

[Defy Android Development] cocus:
Hi, well I've found the Kernel parameters in the bootloader posted here (Android 2.1 - 2.51 bootonly DOWNLOAD).

The parameters on the SBF are:

console=ttyS2,115200n8 rw mem=488M@0x80C00000 init=/init ip=off motobldlabel=none mtdparts=omap2-nand.0:128k(mbr),128k(mbmloader),256k(unused0),512k(mbm),512k(mbmbackup),512k(ebr),512k(bploader),512k(cdt),4m(pds),512k(lbl),512k(lbl_backup),1m(logo),2m(sp),512k(devtree),512k(devtree_backup),4m(bpsw),8m(boot),8m(recovery),13952k(cdrom),384k(unused1),512k(misc),512k(cid),4m(kpanic),334464k(system),384k(unused2),512k(prek),512k(pkbackup),200m(cache),455296k(userdata)

And the parameters in my current stock rom:

console=ttyS2,115200n8 console=ttyMTD10 rw mem=498M@0x80C00000 init=/init ip=off brdrev=P3A androidboot.bootloader=0x0000 mtdparts= mmcparts=mmcblk1:p7(pds),p16(recovery),p17(cdrom),p18(misc),p19(cid),p20(kpanic),p21(system),p22(prek),p23(pkbackup),p24(cache),p25(userdata) androidboot.mode=normal

Well, that comes from a sbf file, so, I guess if i modify it, the stuff about the original bootloader wont work, ant I guess the mobile wont startup.

Am I right in that?

Im asking because if I pass another parameter (about the Framebuffer OMAP2, the screen driver), I can use X11 native, and that will be great!

marked ??? are partitions formats to be determined... :p

xCG : never seen in full sbfs

descriptions :

lbl : Linux Boot Loader (sources in motorola sdks) contains Motorola Cert. 4496 4498

system : /system folder

userdata /data folder

cache /cache folder

cdrom : cdrom iso with defy drivers (by usb ?)

pds : /pds folder ... hmm dunno exactly what it is, used by ClockWorkMod Recovery

recovery : when you boot with bottom volume button

bpsw : something compressed ??? + Motorola Cert. 4504 4506

sp : like cdt, but 3x Motorola Cert. 4496 4498 (maybe old end of file)

prek : Pre Kernel Interface, which switch to recovery mode, Motorola Cert. 4496 4498

devtree : look like /dev content, Motorola Cert. 4496 4498

devtree_backup, misc, cid, kpanic : empty

mbmloader: checks signature of mbm

mbm: verifies all other signatures before allowing the device to boot.

mbr, ebr : master boot record, extended boot record

cdt: Codegroup Descriptor Table (partition table + the kernel command line + Motorola Cert. 4496 4498)

sp seems to be a copy of cdt
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
Its hardcoded in kernel config and/or set/completed by bootloader...

But maybe there is a way to set additionnal parameters somewhere... like the "androidboot.mode=reboot" parameter
[Defy Android Development] cocus:
Edit the SBF bootloader in binary mode. Those parameters are not compressed. You can delete a character and add another to get the same space of the string. But the thing is, in my Bootloader, I have 498M of ram, instead, in the one that I ve seen, there is 488M. And, there are some differences, in my boot, I have the partitions in mmcblk instead in mtdblk. I guess i can brick my phone if I change those.
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
If you do so you'l probably destroy the hash of the bootloader and your device won't boot any more. This is the biggest problem of the signed bootloader from motorola :mad:
[Defy Android Development] cocus:
Yep, I was thinking in that in my first post. So I just will keep the information, its usefull to know the partitions and the memory configuration.

Flash Kyrillos' v3.1 where's the script's allready built in... ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
It is less complex than it sounds. The description is just really very detailed. The details may sound confusing until you try it. And if you have access to Linux, it is really simple. We Linux users also have to use a different operating system when we flash our phones.

Alternative: Install Kyrillos 3.1. It contains the same data2sd and comes with a partitioning tool. But, as far as I can tell, you need to reformat the SD card's vfat part on the phone and lose the data there (not sure, however).

You're not in a root shell. Enter "su" as your first command.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
Don't know. Try this:

cd /system

cd etc

cd init.d

and report where it fails and if you are using adb or a terminal emulator. If it doesn't fail, continue with the line after the cd command.

We can refer to below link for partitioning of sd card to ext4 using adb

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534714
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jaskiratsingh:
Hi Mizch,

Thanks for the script. have few questions; requesting for an answer:

1. Once data2sd is done, will sd card be auto mounted on reboot?

2. I am running JPM with Apollo's data2sd (ext2 partition for apps 1.1GB). What will be the benefit of ext4 over ext2?

3. I understand that i have to remove apollo's lagfix and then apply ext4 data2sd. Is there a way, i can also apply lagfix?

Thanks
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
Yes. And for the first boot, it gets initialized too.

Reliability, especially in crash cases and generally when the phone is shut down without a clean unmount. Ext 4, being a journaling file system, tries to keep the file system in a consistent state whenever possible. ext2 does nothing like that. So, when you forcible switch off your phone by long pressing the power button, most likely you are continuing with a damaged file system whose errors accumulate from now on and will eventually become visible at some time later.

There's one drawback, however: ext4 has to write more data than ext2. ext4 must always write the information needed to reconstruct a consistent file system to its journal.

If I'm correct, the lagfix converts /data (your program storage) to ext2. Since /data is now handled by data2sd and converted to eyt4 anyway, you cannot use lagfix any more. You need to remove it.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] jaskiratsingh:
Thanks for the quick reply mizch. If i have to check apart from data, if anything else is converted into ext2, how can i do that?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
have a look at the output of 'mount' or 'busybox mount'.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] next2devil:
I tried what you mentioned.... but again it shows the same error. It works well till "cd etc". Then, for init.d it shows out the error.

It seems the location for init.d is different in my device :(
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
Yes. Probably there is none. What ROM are you using? Is it a Froyo ROM and from where?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] timmygotcha:
I cannot find init.d in /system/etc/

I'm using Froyo ROM - Lestatious 2.0 BUILD 1.4.5.5
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
OK. There seems to be a general problem with some ROMs that they lack init.d. This is not the ROM's fault - I just didn't know. Thanks for telling what ROM you are using. I'll download it this evening (european time) to investigate further. I'll report back, probably tomorrow.

Until then: If your ROM lacks /system/etc/init.d, don't install.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] s3th.g3ck9:
Michz maybe you can help me out at one question which is killing me... ;) Can we somehow find out what speed the internal nand has (w/r)? 'Cause i'm currently thinking if the sd card speed is equal or above those stats your script shouldn't cause any lags. I'm i right or are there other influence factors?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
I'd guess that even a class 10 SD card is significantly slower than NAND flash. If this affects practical operation, is still to be determined. You know for sure if someone writes a benchmark program.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
I've uploaded a new version of data2sd.zip which cures the problems with the (for some of you) missing init.d directory and the missing support utilities for it. Also, the installation process has been simplified. I wish you success.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] s3th.g3ck9:
Found this: http://www.appbrain.com/app/root-system-tool/com.j.kernelmanager

There's an benchmark tool for both nand and sd card included. I'll test it, hope it's at least a bit accurate. So you think there are no other influnce factors, just the effective speed of the card?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
Yes. The way the system accesses the individual partitions doesn't differ from SD to internal, at least not significantly. Keep in mind that you must switch off and remove the SD card if you want to measure internal (/data) memory when data2sd is up.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] timmygotcha:
Yeap, everything went fine with the new version. Thanks !
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] s3th.g3ck9:
Yeah i know. I just tried unmounting the sd card in the settings. Now it seems that i can not install the app benchmark app internal. Hope shutting down and removing the sd card solves this little prob.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
You cannot remove the SD card this way, since Android doesn't recognize that it's been fooled and /data is now on the SD card.

Switch off, remove the SD card, and your phone will be in the state it was before you installed data2sd. Install the benchmark there too, and run it.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] s3th.g3ck9:
Just failed at thinking that far... :D

Just made benchmarks with two tools, don't seem to be realistic values, i'm just getting ~0,9 to 1 MB/s at writing and ~1,1 to 1,2 MB/s at reading
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
No, that doesn't sound reasonable. Sounds more like the program is measuring the speed of its own transfer loop. Thanks for trying. I'm just thinking about the problem and if I can add something useful.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] s3th.g3ck9:
Screenshots of the app showing a benchmark with 8+ MB/s. So it seems to be working on other phones. Strange it doesn't deliver plausible results on our phone.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
Strange, indeed.

My results with reading from the raw device are: 11.6 MB/s for the internal memory, and 3.7 MB/s for a class 2 SD card. This is less than I expected for the internal memory and about what I expected from that kind of SD card. It seems to indicate that a class 10 SD card is able to replace the internal ROM without speed penalties. But, of course, I used dd for the test, and the validity of that kind of test may be questionable. As an indication, it will suffice.

The results (stl7 is the original app memory, mmcblk0p2 is data2sd's replacement, and this one is on a slow cheap SD card):

/ # dd if=/dev/block/stl7 of=/dev/null bs=4096
50048+0 records in
50048+0 records out
204996608 bytes transferred in 17.647 secs (11616513 bytes/sec)
/ # dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/dev/null bs=4096
305408+0 records in
305408+0 records out
1250951168 bytes transferred in 336.716 secs (3715152 bytes/sec)

(My class 6 SD card is on the way.)

Edit: Note that you cannot compare the transfer time (due to differing sizes), only the bytes/sec.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] haree:
hi

very nice tute added this to the roll up thread:D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] s3th.g3ck9:
About ~12 MB/s reading on the nand seems plausible for me. So for writing we can estimate about ~8-10 MB/s. This can even be reached with a (good) class 6 Card. I've ordered a relatively cheap class 10 card from Patriot, for which i found no benchmark on the internet. I'm curious about how this card performs. Very interesseting topic anyway - a change to the sd card without any loss would over the tops! :D
