Hey guys,
So this is the deal...i have a Magic - mt3g with a 4gb sd card.
This problem started around 2 weeks.The problem is,when i put on a new ROM (mostly 2.2) [previously wipe/reset and format the SD card - swap 32/ext2 512/fat32 the rest] the phone/rom works nicely,speedy,smooth etc.But right after when i install some apps (a few hours later) it starts lagging really badly,i mean horribly badly! No matter what type of rom i put on.
But when i go to recovery and do either of apps2sd or rapair ext ,it works nicely again (i do lose all the apps though >_> )
So what's the prob? is the sd card? im losing my mind here
p.s. the sd card r/w speed has dropped to like less then 1MB/s...a lot less!
plz help
What class is the SD card? Could be your problem there, just too much simultaneous read/write for the card to handle.

A few questions.
1. How many apps are you installing?
2. Are you giving it time to "think" on the first boot? I always let new roms sit for a solid 10 mins before setting up. Big difference in stability.
3. Are you using the new radio/spl for the extra ram?
I always kept my apps to a minimum, didn't use apps2sd and it ran ok. It's a slow phone with not enough ram though, that's just the way it is.

1. Before this prob : around 20 (not counting the on board apps that u get with the rom) and no problems with lag or anything...after the prob : 5-10 and then the prob starts ...
2. Yup
3. Nope.I never changed my spl/radio ,and all roms allways worked perfectly

Yeah i know,but like i said,it just started happening 2 weeks ago...be4 that (5 months) no probs what so ever ,all roms run smooth
***********************************
Like i said,for 5 months no probs,and all of a sudden probs ... without any major changes to the phone/sd card ... just started happening
p.s. should i exchange my sd card (for a day or two) with my friedns (in his SGS) and see if it's the sd card? or not?
A swap would be wise. Most likely the SD card is going out, but that's just speculation. I started running into the same issue with my myTouch 1.2 and I'm pretty sure the CPU was going out.

I suggest you update to latests Radio and Spl, since you said you havnt because nowadays the newer froyo roms require it.

There are a few threads that walk you through setting up fastboot and adb. Do a quick search. Basically you go into the bootloader, select fastboot and issue the commands.

Hey,
Now I have finally got my replacement LCD for my G1 I can get back to hacking it , It appears you get left behind in whats going on very quickly and was wondering about Hero on my G1...
I know I need to update the SPL and Radio, luckily I have a PVT board, but can I go to 1.5 Cupcake ADP if I want to go back to it from Hero, for example just apply the 1.5 update.zip to go back?
As far as I am aware I just format and partition my SD card, update the Radio, then the SPL, then apply the Hero update file and I am good to go?
Thanks

Yup, that's it
Flash the radio
Flash the SPL
Flash the Hero Rom
and to get back to 1.5ADP just wipe then flash that Rom

Oh yeah! I
It's not essential but highly reccomended if you want more than 20mb for apps and better performance. You don't have to use Cyan's recovery, Paragon and Gparted work fine..
I did it, I partitioned it using Paragon, I first used a 30mb swap and then tried a 100mb and actually I did see quite a big jump in performance... any tips on getting this to run just that little bit smoother other than not using a class 4 card?

Not really, tbh. You can change the swappiness value in the /system/bin/a2sd file. There was another thread very recently where someone was walked through the process so have a look for that. Otherwise just try to use a couple of widgets. When I'm on Hero I only use the clock, weather and twitter.

most of the android rom i try running on my htc hd2 work fine but already reboot back to windowmobile on it own how can i fix this
im running energyROM right now on radio 2.14.50.04
Hi...
Did I understand it right?
You bott from WinMo to Android and after some time the phone reboot?
Which EnergyROM do you use?
Which Android?
Many regards
yes and thank for the fast reply and
energy .sencity
and most like froyo, hyperdroid, and coredroid and others
How long does it work until it reboots?
Did you try to reformat your SD Card with 64kb cluster size? That should help if I read that right. Otherwise try another SD.
This can be read 2 ways. Either he is having reboot problems or he is complaining that when he reboots his phone he is back in windows mobile

no i know it reboot back to window mobile my problem is that it does it on it own and yes i formated the sd card more then once and it differ something 10min or something right when it starts up
I use to have problems with my sd card. Once I got a Class 10 SD card, all my problems was solved. The original class 2 16GB was just too slow. Especially when it goes standby.
Now everything runs super fast.

Maybe you should use this tool to format you SD Card. Yes it is a german page, but u will understand the important things like the big "download" button and the download Server button on the next page
I use this, too. And it works for me since a couple of years for USB Sticks and SD Cards

are you using a rom that supports magldr?
great question, i havent flashed a custom rom yet, is this my issue?
Another note, when it boots to android there is activity for a split second in the tool bar and it says that the sd card is near full. i dont know if this means anything.

You dont flash the android rom, you copy it onto your sd card. Providing you have a MAGLDR SD android ROM it will install.
Have you setup your sd card to support dual boot?
I understand. Ive gone through numerous tutorials and have set up my sd card. when booting into wp7 i have 7 gigs and when i mount the sd in my laptop i have the other have remaining on my sd.
i suppose its the magldr sd android rom thats the issue
any insight here?

ok good - sounds like you're nearly there. Make sure your Android partition is set as PRIMARY
- yes that link is where you need to look next - i never bothered with that though.
I searched the sd ROMS that supported MAGLDR. They usually had special instructions to make them work.
otherwise search thru that thread.
Zarathustrax has created quite a few pre-made MAGLDR boot files - search for his posts in that thread.
alright ill try that one
ive gone toe to toe with FEB 04 Copes
it boots to the starting htc screen and hangs there.

it took a good 10minutes of "HTC" hang time before it booted for me first time.
He's releasing a new version in a couple of hours which i'm going to try.
wasnt sure if my radio was the problem so im flashing the one you have in your sig
will report
thanks guys for your support
im running Copes too,
make sure on the fat32 side of your partition that its primary (like Canterbury said) and sometimes ive noticed its fussy in wanting a formatted clean card. yeah takes like 5 or 10 mins for the first boot. youll almost give up waiting lol i know i have plenty of times.
20 minutes in and still on the htc screen..

if you interrupted the first install while it was trying to create the data.img it wont boot no matter how many times you try. If you think that might be the case - delete the data.img file on the sd and try again.

Please help me!

hmm, odd, not sure but perhaps an SD card issue?
those seem to be the root course for most issues perhaps this is another one! get a different SD card and give that aa shot, dont spend money you dont have because there is a chance that card might not work either! so if you have one kicking about give that a shot...just a thought, it might not be it but its worth a shot.
thanks but I think SD isn't a problem. It worked well for almost a month.

Not saying you are wrong, bit maybe you should consider the fact that it could be your SD card. WP7Cdoes this weird format called RAID to hour SD cardcthe first time you boot it up. This allows WP7 to use the SD card as the internal memory for the phone. This is the same of a native WP7 device, yes they use SD cards for internal memory all of the current ones do. Anyway this format is bad enough on a SD card, but you add the fact that it is constantly being read from and wrote to. This can kill a already overly used SD card, or a cheap sub are SD card.
His right, don't rule it out until you can rule it out! SD issues are huge and can attack at any moment, my own experience is that if I delete some music, approx 200mb it allows windows to use a certain portion of the card for system usage, it will crash and restart, didn't get this for months until I filled up the card to the point windows wanted to access that space, filling it past that space corrected the problem oh an my computer can't detect any issues with the card so its nit a case of being faulty, its a case of not meeting the spec needed for wp7 on that portion of my card
But problem is that it heppened after I installed WP7 even if I changed it for Android.
I'm sorry I forgot to mention that the last time it heppened I was usnig android NAND.

quite a significant oversight not mentioning Android does it as well!
lol
ok, well i suggest you flash back to a official standard WM6.5 ROM, that will erase the HSPL/SPL and MAGLDR, if its still happening then its going to be a hardware issue with your phone.

Only flashing a official Windows Mobile ROM by SD will revert HSPL back to SPL. If you flash via RUU you will have to use HSPL 4 to revert back to SPL.

yes his right, but if you didnt know that then i suggest you search and read up on it, there can be a few wee problems flashing via SD, mostly around the SD card not working, so read up, do it, and see if it makes a difference!
Hey Guys, Noob here so be easy. I just rooted my EVO for the first time and got the King-Shooter_RLS_2.3 up and running.

Yes I have checked all processes and nothing is abnormal. I have plenty of free memory left. I read something about partitioning the SD card? Any validity to this for this ROM? I mean this EVO I now very slow and I rooted bc I thought my stock ROM was slow. I read nothing but good things about this ROM just trying to figure out why mine is different.

I would recommend partitioning your sd card - it is easy. Do you already have Amon Ra recovery installed? If so, start here:

If not, start here:

Im not particularly concerned about saving my current ROM's configuration. IS there step by step instructions on how to partition this SD card and install the ROM to the correct partitions

Yes, there are instructions for step by step. It's fairly easy. The ROM will not be partitioned onto your sd, just apps that you download. Once you partition the SD and get the rom running, I would recommend running terminal emulator and running commands a2sd reinstall and a2sd cachesd, but only run these commands after you download the apps you want, for best performance sake. I would also recommend looking into scripts such as v6 or juwe RAM optimizer. Personally, I use juwe and I think its better, but that's just my opinion.
