help with ap2ext on cm rom - G2 and Desire Z General

i am willing to pay a dev to add ap2ext to a cm rom just pm me

Do you seriously need it on the G2? I've got 86 apps installed and I've still got 780MB free, and that's on a Sense ROM (which has considerably more bloat than CM does).

that you not me i have over 230 apps on my phone , dont judge me , but i want what i want

Have you tried Settings.. Cyanogen Settings.. Applications.. Allow moving?
Then maybe you have to go into normal settings, applications, then move them to sd from there?

That's apps2fat, by far the worst method for storing apps. I'd rather keep them on my phone. It doesn't mount at boot like app2ext, can't store widgets, and something like 1/2 or 1/4 of each app (not to mention the dalvik, data, cache) is left on the phone. Aside from the data and cache, none of that is left on the phone with app2ext - and there's a way to move that stuff to the ext partition too. I had it on my slide - to not have it on the G2 is just sad and the 2 gigs of memory excuse is just lazy.

Agreed. I'd rather repartition my SD card and have the apps run off of a partition than have them on a FAT32 partition. I have the apps that start at boot still on internal memory. I'd love to see A2EXT.
Start a thinktank over in Development?

Well I'm no dev but go for it

Well we had this issue when I used my slide. I have a guy in those forums that's working on getting a boot.img for CM 6.1.1 with app2ext activated so we can have it. All well have to do it replace the boot.img, flash an activator package and run a few commands. He's getting a G2 also so we'll see more a2sd stuff for the G2 soon (hopefully).

Great effin news! I'm starting to get worried regarding my memory. I really wish they would unlock the gb. Its kinda dumb that they save it for future updates yet I'm sure when we get gingerbread we will still have 1.28gb or whatever it shows on the phone.
Does anyone know if the real gingerbread update is suppose to unlock our memory since it IS THE UPDATE?

Well no luck yet from my buddy (acejoker25000 in case you were wondering). Something is a bit funky about the G2 and (I assume) something to do with it's boot. Starting with CM 6.1, a2sd(ext) support was supposed to be built into the boot.img - maybe that's not the case for the G2, then again, doesn't Cyanogen use this phone? Wtf. Anyway, we may need to take apart the bot.img and edit one of the init files, repack the boot.img, and replace it in our roms then flash (also works with replacing the boot.img in a nandroid). Who's good at that? I've never gone that in depth.

Droid Swap App - any users / experience

Just wondering if anyone is using Droid Swap and has seen any increase in speed on their device ?
I have tried it out intermittently, but am not sure if it is adding to past reboot issues.

Honestly, I have never used Droid Swap.
However, I got a new SD card this week and didn't partition it for Apps2SD. I have found that my phone is a million times for reliable. That thing where the phone goes to sleep and END won't wake it back up? Gone away.
After all of the initial force closes from apps not being there any more, i had to wipe and reflash my rom, but everything is SO much better with out Apps2SD.

I personally have not had any problems with FC or reboots with app2sd running

I don't carry around enough apps to bother with it. Thought it was cool at first though.
I have discovered if I don't need it very often I can go to the market just as easy and get it quick.
I do keep the life or death apps on my phone..Facebook. MiKandi, those things.

I use Swapper (same as DroidSwap for all intensive purposes...except that someone took Swapper off the Marketplace). I have a 64MB linux swap partition.
It doesn't work that great if you let it create a swap file on your SD Card, but if you let it initialize your swap partition, it works great. Swap file size is the key. 32MB for casual use, 64MB for heavy use. Anything above 64MB is too much swap space and your phone will slow down alot.

Why would it slow down with more memory?
recently done
I rooted and themed droid 1 with a pl3x theme and it allowed me to move any app2sd and i did not have any lag problems.
I found that the theme installer actually had a .apk folder that it pulled all the apps to install during "instal zip from sd" on clockwork recovey. So i simply found all the .apks for every app i wanted and added them to the app folder in the update zip. When i installed the update and booted droid, every app was installed through the android system and no mb internal storage was used. My phone booted up with 260mb free of internal storage. Pretty sick. Instead of having to download every app from market and reduce myself to 190mb's again, this went nice with the 1.25ghz over clock.
But does anyone know of the app called swapper? Im trying to see if its worth messing with on a spare sd card? I dont know if apps are smart enough to know how to use the memory , or is the swapper smart enough to tell the apps its available. I say "tell" the apps because i dont know a better word.
Any chance to set up swap on non rooted phone? (for exmaple set up all things on card from pc, and then just mount it on the phone)

Why is my internal phone storage so low???

I had a 3 month old Modaco rom and I moved to the newest Damagecontrol
I went from 121 mb available to 63.72mb
Is this normal??
And yes my Apps2sd is working.. I swore that it wasn't myself.

You still have plenty of room. It will not slow down the phone. And dalvik cache might not be on your sdcard. I bet if you download an app, it will decrease the mb. The cache is still on the phone, but the app is on the sdcard.

booted up started installing my old programs and what do you know... my memory is dropping DConfig force closed on the original boot up.
Not to mention market listed all my previously downloaded apps until i installed a few and went to the home screen and back and then it cleared the list for me.. Thanks!!
[edit]
I just went into DConfig and it said something about a config file not being set up would i like to set one up now and reboot...
Deleting all apps i can from the market menu and then doing that and trying
I am using Fresh 2.0d.
This is supposed to have apps2sd working for it.
It seemed to work for a while.. then my internal memory started going down after installing apps.
Installed apps2sd 2.5 from darktremor and BAM.. 120 megs internal phone.
Kick me while im down why don't you!!! LOL jk.. I'll have to look into that if I have trouble still..
Does anyone have any recommendations for setting Dconfig..
I'm not exactly sure what dalvik is not Enaling JIT.. or the dalvik heap or lowmemkiller or swapping and the swappyness...

Cyanogen 6 on HTC Dream - Things to avoid?

Hey guys,
Just modded my HTC Dream with CM6, and it seems pretty cool.
I read somewhere that you should partition the SD card? Something about ext2 to ext3? Can anyone comment on that?
Also, read that you need to be careful installing themes because it could brick the phone? Does that mean full themes, not just wallpapers?
Anything else I should be cautious of?
Thank you in advance

ext2 is optimal for this application. ext3 will just wear out your card faster. You don't necessarily need an ext partition on the card though -- only if you want to install applications to the sdcard without using that horrible froyo2sd nonsense that google added.
Themes won't brick the phone unless they overwrite things that they most definitely have NO REASON to be overwriting. Having said that, EVERY theme is horribly ugly compared to how it looks without messing with it. JUST LEAVE IT ALONE!

I'm having a problem with Google Navigation. Seems that when I turn it on, it just freezes at the "searching for GPS" screen.
I also have a problem with Goggles (downloaded it from Market). It starts up, goes through the tutorial, and then when I advance to start it, it just hangs.
Any ideas?

Because it is a memory hog, unstable, and slow. They're trying to please everyone with ever nonsense request, and it really has bloated into a monster. The tmobile magic 32b froyo image (as converted for DREAM) is an excellent 2.2 build, extremely fast and stable. Just tweak to suit.
Hi,
I'm sorry I am brand new to all of this, just yesterday I rooted my g1 (first time) and installed CM6. I like it but it is running a bit slow and I am having a few issues with 3g.
If CM6 isnt all that great, could you link me to a good rom/setup please (preferably with installation instructions)? I was trying to find what is good at this point but for 2 hours now can not figure out which rom to get at this date. Is zx donut v3.0 a good candidate? Its been popping up a lot
p.s. I am getting a g2 in 2 weeks and passing this phone to a friend, wanna give him the best setup possible,
Thanks for your time
Edit -just installed Super F 1.0 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799693, seems to be a lot faster than CM6, op might wanna give it a shot It is definitely not as good looking as CM, also few of CM features that were nice are missing, but it seems to run much better so far!
But if you guys can suggest something better (doesn't have to be froyo) I'd appreciate it
I appreciate your answer. Well, to be honest I am not 100% satisfied with how CM6 runs on my G1/dream. I thought I configured it wrong. I agree with the poster iokke, I'd like to know which setup still runs smooth on the dream. I need a usable and reliable phone. Sure. the features of CM6 are really nice but what price to pay for it?
to the op:
try this rom, it was updatied in October of this year, just installed it, but so far is running fine on my phone, and its froyo + has themes (you can find them from the installation page link)

A cool thing about these ROM (given that I am a noob) - my g1 seems to be running on the H network now without me having to do anything
Another mod worth looking at, that I have not tried so far, also updated last month is the Sparksmod 1.4, you can find it here:

Not sure which one of the two is faster, though I read somewhere that the Sparksmod is the faster one. This is also froyo, but havent tried this one yet

The H icon is a cosmetic tweak, that was put into CM6 or 6.1 onwards, your phone has been accessing the same speeds before, it just wasn't doing the icon change when it went to the higher speeds.
I have always had trouble and lagginess with 2.2 on my G1, even after a full system wipe, so I'm rockin 5.0.8 at the moment, and it flies. I just miss custom LED notifications, though I have yet to try the official TMO 2.2.
If you make nandroid backups from recovery, you should have no fear if you want to mess around with different roms or flashing themes .

One question, with Danger SPL installed for Froyo ROMs, can I go back to donut ROMs and simply flash them, or should I remove it somehow??

I'm pretty sure you won't have to change the SPL anymore except for very special roms. Just make sure you do a full wipe from recovery after a backup, for new roms to ensure that there aren't any lingering problems.
I have been really enjoying EZTerrys new kernel with biffmod. fast. seems to be stable. LOTS of features (Overclock added =]). i was restarting my phone 3 times a day on CM6 and now once in the morning is ok for the whole day. also, when i used super F, the camera didnt work.

Wtf!

I just got my droid 2 in the mail today and I'm disappointed, to say the least...first off I'm comin over from tmobile where I've had nearly every phone they have released over the last 2 years. The first thing I thought when I booted this droid 2 was how familiar evrything looked. Then I realized they put motoblur on it(boo!). So I feel like I'm using a moto cliq again...I thought that since this thing has a 1 ghz processor it would run a lot smoother than the cliq, but that has not been the case. It takes almost 10 seconds for the camera to open which is unacceptable. It hangs up doing the simplest things, such as opening and closing the app drawer. I planned on getting the droid x, but after reading several side by side comparisons, I decided on the 2. I hate to say this but I'm really thinking I made the wrong choice. I believe this to be a nice piece of hardware, just not right for me....
Anyone have any suggestions to make my experience better? I'm open to rooting but only if there is a 100% fully functional rom out there...my last tmobile phone is a vibrant and I don't know if you guys are aware of what's gone on over in those threads the last few days, but its been interesting to say the least

Um not sure I can't remember what it's like to not be rooted. lol.
I think you either need to be rooted or use ADB.
As for launcher's I've heard good things about LauncherPro but I use ADW. and Home switcher to set my choice to default (so the home soft key doesn't go back to stock.
You can wireless tether for free but as of yet the only infrastructure mode (as opposed to Ad-hoc) you can get is through the Verizon app but thankfully someone found out how to hack it. (check the Droid 2 Information Directory in Android Development for the D2)
Hey guys, so I rooted and bought one of those overclocking apps from the market. I know that quads and linpack mean nothin to some people, but I like to use them to gauge my own phones performance. I overclocked to 1.2 and my benchmark went from 865 ms to 675. My linpack is almost 17. But, my quads are down to 800! What the hell is that about? Are those overclock apps just crap?

On my Droid Incredible I can copy pictures and ringtones from my computer directly to the internal memory (emmc), but with the Droid 2 I can only mount the SD Card. This is kinda annoying...I've been searching old threads but haven't found an answer.
I can move them between internal and external sd, but that's a freakin headache. On my vibrant when I mount sd to computer, I get two windows that open and I can transfer directly to internal from pc. I can't believe they (motorola) really give you 8 gigs for apps only. Everything is saved to external by default. Except apps.

Are you serious??? Wow, I'm glad I decided to stay with the Dinc as my main phone. So do you use any particular app for moving stuff between internal and the SD card? Or you do it within an adb shell? I don't see the point of making the internal memory only available for apps...I would never need that many space for apps...I rather use it for music.

I use root explorer personally. Just cus it gives me access to everything. I barely use 100mb for apps so I see no reason to have 8 gigs for apps.

Cool. I guess for now I'll just forget that I have internal memory in the phone. I'm looking into building my own AOSP ROM, so this is something definitely looking into fixing

That would be awesome....so I overclocked to 1.45 this morning just to see what my battery life would be like and I notice no difference. Im not buyin this overclock app works as advertised. If my minimum is 400 mhz, there would be more battery used when the phone is sleep. That has been the case with every other phone at least.

Its a set of scripts that change the mount points so that your data partition gets mounted to a ext2/3/4 partion on the sdcard instead of internal storage.

allows you to have way more storage space gave my wife 1gb of app storage
o I did it that way before, didn't seem to be any different then apps on the sd.
Just seems more automatic and cleaner to me flash zip input code into terminal reboot and everything is all good
