Swap Partition Testers on Atrix Wanted - Atrix 4G General

Hello all in the Atrix forums.
I'm a Bionic user, and I recently created a guide for making and enabling a swap partition which works on both the Android side and the Webtop side simultaneously. An Atrix user sent me a PM today with an issue that I would like a few more Atrix users to attempt my guide and see if they have the same issue.
My guide can be found @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309712.
The Atrix user says he followed my directions to the letter and when he ran the script to enable the swap partition, he was faced with the following error:
Code:
swapon: /dev/mmcblk1p3: function not implemented
If anyone else is willing to try this out, I would be much appreciative.
Thanks in advance. :-D

Sounds like that user's kernel doesn't support swap
On a side note, swap is enabled on the CM7 kernel, and possibly faux's kernels too. I don't see the point in using swap on a phone with 1Gb of RAM though.

If all you use is the phone itself, then 1 GB is plenty, sure, but if you use the webtop feature, 1 GB tends to run short pretty quickly. Myself and many others have confirmed that phone and webtop operate much more smoothly with a swap partition than without.

Also, doesn't the webtop mode only have access to about 200MB?

I can confirm that enabling swap does not work in any of Faux123's or the stock 4.5.91 kernel on my Atrix. I tried the Op's method on a stock 4.5.91 fruitcake, alien 4, and darkside 2.5.1 with the webtopmod1.0 and the 2.3.4 webtop fruitcake. As well as on a locked 4.5.91 mostly stock rooted atrix with webtop2sd.
I don't have any machine set up for compiling linux kernels or experience doing it but it seems like, if you had the source for a kernel you liked, you could make the change or whip up a module for it then release it back here. It would be nice to see swap supported in faux123's 1300 OC UV kernel, that one seems to work very well on darkside and alien.

Wow you flashed a lot of ROMS! But thanks for trying. I'm also assuming that all that would be needed is someone with kernel expertise to make a module or just tweak the kernel slightly. But alas, I am no programmer yet.

There's an app by Sogarth called webtop2sd which repartitions the SD Card to allow for a larger amount of space available to the webtop. That app alone is recommended with or without swap, honestly.

Sorry, I knew that. I was talking about the RAM available to the webtop environment.

Good news, everyone! Faux123 has announced that he will be building zram support into his next ATRIX kernel. That should ease webtop's memory woes.

[Request to devs] App2SD in cursor or Stock HTC 3.05.401.3 (new radio)

Hello. How are you? I Would like to request ( i dont really know if is possible) the possibility of creating A2SD on cursorsense or a Stock with root 3.05.401.3. Do you think is possible? I Like speed and sense, just missing the A2SD . Thank you wherever is possible or not. I'll await a reply. =) Regards
The feature of a2sd must be supported by kernel,because the script would not be executed if sd is not mounted so we have to make some change to kernel that we could have sd mounted before the a2sd script's exed.

cursor tried working on this for his rom but i guess there was no possible solution
i hope it is possible though, my phone gets full from hardly any apps
oh. if is on framework, there are issues wich is hard to make work i presume. Hm Well If is possible wouuld be great =). Thank you for replying
Not the framework, the linux kernel. It would need to support one of the ext filesystems (ext2, ext3, ext4). You can check whether it does by executing
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/filesystems
and looking for any of the ext's in the output. If it's not there, one would need to recompile the kernel adding this support.
Hmm although I don't really know why nobody uses yaffs on partitions of the sdcard - anybody know whether it would work? Or make sense?
The kernel does support ext2/3/4 but the problem is that it executes the app2sd script before it mounts the SDcard.
Perhaps the new apps2sd script would solve the issue. (new as in cm5)
yeah I just found http://wiki.theandroidkitchen.com/index.php?title=CursorSense32A_FAQ which kind of explains this. I'm not really content with that explanation though, if it were as simple as tweaking the apps2sd script surely cursor would have implemented it?
EDIT I just looked at the apps2sd script on my current rom (see signature) and as I suspected, it's the script itself that issues the command to mount the sdcard ext partition. So that explanation kinda doesn't make sense to me.
There's an init.rc script that comes with the kernel (boot.img). But the kernel takes a while to load up the SD for some reason and hence the issues.
It's easy to edit but I'm not exactly sure what has to be edited.
On my cousin's phone I just moved the system dalvik-cache to /cache to free up about 20 MB.
Also move market cache to /cache:
Clean it out and symlink to /cache
cd /data/data/com.android.vending
rm -R cache
mkdir /sdcard/cache/market
ln -s /sdcard/cache/market cache
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Or just move first and then symlink it
You can query the size of a folder using: du -hs
If you really really want Apps2SD someone can look into it. It can be solved by using an alternate kernel (sanpei). But there hasn't been much activity with 1.5 Sense ROMs here on xda.
Alternately you can find plenty of 32A 1.5 Sense ROMs on international forums.

Thank you everyone. You guys as always are great. Im sorry to request a 1.5 android with a2sd. Without wanting to consider the devs work as in my opinion all work is really great, i was interested on a simple stable fast rom with sense with a2sd because happens that most wich has sense becomes very slow for me on daily use. The roms i had an excelent experience was villain 3.4 for magic ( cant use because it freezes but great release never had slow issues) its a 2.1 android. Also capyslide 1.6 ( only issues was that wasnt completle stable but o loved it. The rc became very slow compared to the other previous versions )
Sorry to post this opinion. But ive been looking and since most of roms 2.1 android are slow compared to what i need, at least i didnt had the experience i expected, cyanogenmod 5.07 in my opinion at speed has grown alot compared to the 4.2.1.15 version to bad isnt sense where i have a preference ( imagine for example i work as agent of a doctor, make alot of calls and in emergency situations if my phone is slow when i need to call an ambulance, im giving an example of the emergency situations wich might happen ) so prefered to roll back until there was. a more mature rom 2.1.
Thank you for all wich are reading and replying =)
That is the main reason of my request. Thank you

1)
CM4 and CM5 are both mature ROMs. You just have to downgrade your radio.
If you don't want to, use any one of the new radio ROMs with sanpei kernel that have apps2sd support.
I have a HTC Dream running CM5 and I don't see how CM5 can be considered slow at all. If you are really looking for speed, use CM5 with SetCPU to overclock to 576 MHz and you will see a noticable performance increase. rps13 is working on ironing the kinks in the 710 MHz oc so look at that one too.
If you limit your background apps, the ROM really flies. Just flash stock CM5 and bcrook's officially supported kernel port instead of one of the ones you see in these forums until you see more verification amongst the users for stability of those specific ROM blends. Cyanogenmod.com forums is your best bet.
2)
If you are keen on using a Sense ROM, you should be able to take a apps2sd enabled sanpei .32.9 kernel (boot.img and wlan.ko as usual) and flash it to Cursorsense to get working apps2sd.
3)
The .27 kernel Cursorsense is based on may have issues mounting the sd card quickly for apps2sd to happen.
Finally there is the option of flashing .9 (or some other version) version of Cursorsense where apps2sd was actually enabled, but you may run into issues.

Could you please explain what i should really do in orther to be able to use app2SD on cursor?
I like Cyanogenmod but the thing is i prefer much more the sense. I know i'm a bit dificult with taste but sense i moved to sense i didnt want anything else.
I would be happy to try your suggestion on cursorsense. I need to get the boot img of sanpei. but how exacly would it work? You know wher ei can find a tutorial or something wich would give me a begining to start? Thank you
Cursorsense in his rom said once:
I need to make something clear to everyone here...
Apps2SD is definitely a good option for people who need it, but I can't deliver it with this ROM.
The kernel doesn't load the SD card soon enough to handle the automatic Apps2SD script.
Guys, I really want to help you out here, but I don't know if I can.
Maybe another ROM might be best if you need the space... sorry eyegor.

Instead of automatic how about manualy? For instance a system as Cyanogenmod but. instead of loading the apps automaticaly, we have a loader(wich would work as an emulator or something identical) wich run the apps wich are installed on the SD Card?
To activate this option this loader must work as an app, and we could install apps from it. Wouldnt be this way more stable?

I'm assuming that means there is no kernel flashing in the update.zip or anything required after running it?

ClockworkMod.
Does this have the captivate camera or the vibrant camera? I've heard of vibrant users loading the captivate camera but never dug deeper to find out why.
Also, has anyone here flashed this yet? Eugene's roms are supposed to be pretty good. I'm debating on installing this or waiting for a froyo rom.

I really want to, but he hasn't answered my question about kernel flashing yet
edit: in the change log it says "includes stock kernel" which I assume is just a part of the direct copy/paste from the vibrant thread, so is therefore the stock vibrant kernel... meaning that there is a kernel flash to which we could theoretically follow up with an SRE flash
FYI It does have the autorotate but so you have to go into settings and uncheck orientation under sound and display
Edit: I am guessing I need to install vibrant drivers?

if you could, try following it up with an SRE flash (which I believe will change the notification bar) or flash the stock captivate kernel with odin (which won't have a working mobile AP or overclock)
You might want to try flashing a stock captivate kernel on top of it, or if he's got the lagfix baked in you might want to use unhelpful's kernel so that it maintains init.d support. I'm still working on flashing back to try this so I can't say for sure =P
Trying SRE right now, will report back momentarily
So don't think that worked, Linpack scores of 7.6 which is much lower than it should be, lag is unbelievable and I can't get adb to recognize my phone anymore, making it pretty close to unusable...going back to JH3 until smarter people than I can figure something out...
One more thing, this worked as advertised until I tried SRE, but just with the known issues of using a vibrant kernel in the captivate
I don't know if I've ever hit F5 this many times back to back, come on crop and Zilch!
Let me know how this works... I can change out what ever need edited, but I don't have an at&t phone to further fix things...

I believe the only thing that would really need to be fixed (according to crop) would be to use either the stock kernel (http://koush.tandtgaming.com//test/kernel-captivate-stock.tar.md5) or Unhelpful's kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=762171) instead of the vibrant kernel

okay.. Thanks...
but, my understanding is it works fine with the kernel that is pre-included.
just finished flashing and phone booted up will update soon.
initial reaction phone is quite slow , lots of lag
just performed a factory reset now and check it out.
also it takes more time than usual while booting at the Samsung logo.
I just flashed XWJM7, then Unhelpful's kernel (v1.1 via Odin), and then a repackaged version of Vibrant-Hybrid, removing the kernel specific stuff from the update-script.
All is working fine so far.
Great job Eugene!

he said there's a bug with auto-rotation (we get this bug using the i9000 kernels too because apparently we're all about using anything but the AT&T ROM) and I'm willing to bet he didn't test the bluetooth which is also another common problem area when not using the captivate kernels
It does work fine, the only thing you need to do is turn off auto rotate =P Haven't tried GPS though. Also I just flashed the JG8 modem file to this for HSUPA lovin'
GPS starts, but I'm indoors and it's midnight so I'm not going out for a stroll to test if it gets a lock =P

Many of my recent efforts have lead me to take a few steps back in discovering a few things (does that makes sense?). In working on fixes for 3GP Vanilla MMS and the 50% TWS "issue" I have put these together.
Should hopefully help others, especially those new to cooking that want an easy, trouble free base to start with (no "extra fonts" and no "updating" the JulyOTA manually).

SORRY BOUT THAT!!!
I have the same problem on Tenzo-Official2.1-JulyOTA-Root.
Why don't you just flash PlainJaneT2 which is total Stock with A2sd, and are able to enable JIT through a2sd with By typing "a2sd jit"
Everything works, on it is pretty fast for a HTC rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=718092
Just wondering Why you made another rom thats already out there...
I didn't mean to take over the thread just curious what the difference between PlainJane and this.
Another question is if you tested wired tether?
Because if you just dropped it in the rom I CAN GUARANTEE that it is not working, thats why I didn't add it to the rom, And If you did get it to work can you tell me how you did it?
If you included SETCPU i suggest you take it off if you don't want to have problems with the SETCPU developer later in the future..... A Member has been kicked because he included apps that developers had told him to get rid of.
This has the newest build of 2.1 by HTC. And wired tether has been updated to work on the Eris and incredible. Plainjane, even though it is older than this and T2 is still better for those who do jot care about JIT or A2SD. I've tried both as well as this and jcase's Rom features the most free memory. I uninstall a lot of stock apps and then add maybe 25-30mb of market apps. Plainjane left new with 95+mb free. This and T2 leave me with roughly 70mb.

this is completely stock... no extra scripts, no extra fonts, no a2sd, etc. it's stock... with july OTA integrated and deodexed. that's all i did. can you point out where the other completely stock ROM with JulyOTA integrated is? If i missed it, i apologize. again... other than not trashing bootloader, recovery, etc, it's as "stock" as it gets. no symlinks changed in update-script, etc. again, this is the only stock ROM w/July OTA integrated that i've seen on the forum. did i miss something? (Official Obsession is close... but that requires you flash over the update. not easy for beginning cooks trying to customize a ROM... and it's not deodexed)
the "other" 2 ROMs are different as well... one is almost stock, with just latest ChainsDD superuser (root) added (no a2sd), with Conap's CFS kernel. the other is the same, with latest a2sd added (which allows the ability to add cache2cache as well).
i've enjoyed PlainJaneT2... and it is still my base for TT2.1. i've given full props to you with links and request even for donations in that thread. if i've upset you, again, i apologize.
also, no "extra" apps (setcpu, etc) are included... i know the rules
i'm not trying to "ruin" any experience for anyone... or step on anyone's toes. i'm just trying to help out and contribute. certainly have never tried to upset anyone on this forum EVER!

one thing you can do with a2sd 2.7.5.1 is run the cache on the cache partition.
adb remount
adb shell
a2sd cachepart
when it's done, it will reboot the ROM. pull the battery and clear dalvik (or else you'll get a few FC's when you reboot).
you can try the above with "a2sd cachepartreset" and it "should" clear dalvik for you... but it hasn't worked well for me

The official wired tether 1.4 integrated the fix for our phone. So the latest from the official site will work.

try the "new" DL and just flash over (no wipe should be needed). what does it say your "kernel" is under software info?

Why use this old 1.2 when the official 1.4 does it cleaner: http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/
Perfect timing on this! My lady is techologically challenged and having a ROM like this is perfect. She kept busting my bawls about not having teeter... Every time I installed it via an APK it would always FC after a bit.
Edit this was on a different rom, so far only issue I've had with this rom is a FC when trying to auto-update google maps.

Like I said I was just asking and playing devils advocate I was gone for a month a half so I have no Idea of what happened I'm just catching up. Take no offense to what I said I was just curious.

[Q] Lightspeed 1.0.6 Overclocking ?

Hello Guys i have a problem. I cant Overclock Lightspeed 1.0.6 and i was not having a problems with 1.0.4 version ? Why is this happening ? Is it only me ? Before I was Abe to go up to 1.6 and now the max Freq is native (1GHz). Im using SetCpu to overclock.....
Oh and i didn't want to make another topic so i will ask you here? Is there a possible Way to play Gameloft Games with XBOX 360 controller or Mouse ? I can play with X360 controller with the emulators.....
Lightspeed 1.0.6 comes with a stock kernel which doesn't support overlocking. In other words, you need to flash a new kernel to allow overclocking. Try richardtrip's kernel here. Just flash the same way as a ROM, only wiping the cache and dalvik cache first. My only annoyance by doing this with Lightspeed is the way the kernel handles external hard drives. With the stock kernel, it would automatically mount as USB Storage as soon as it's plugged in. When using richardtrip's kernel, you need to use an app called Drive Mount (found on the market) and it will only automatically mount if the drive is plugged in while booting (as long as you configure it to do so). Also, it won't come up as USB Storage - instead, it mounts to /mnt/sda1 and /sda1 if you set the symlink in Drive Mount. Thought I might point that out.
As far as using your 360 controller or mouse in Gameloft games - I don't think it's possible. The games aren't programmed to support them. I could be wrong, though. There might be a third-party app or some way to remap the default controls. I haven't really looked into it, but I'm doubting it's possible. Emulators for systems such as MAME or SNES do support controllers, however. Edit: guess you already knew that second part
Thors Kernel works too.

This is true, however I wouldn't endorse it. Thor doesn't release the source code, which is in direct violation of the GPL. Just sayin...
I agree with thor's kernel. Use it and love it and while he may not release the "source code". He will help you with any issue you have and that is a big plus in my book.

Same here. For what ever reason he dont release it; i dont really care. But he is always very prompt with reply, when you ask him any question. Do the best to help you. Or update kernel quickly when problem or inefficiencies are reported.
Let's not rehash the fued
+1 on Thor's Kernels and his support for them. And the Transformer Port to the 500 is pretty slick also.
For the Lightspeed Rom, I believe you need Thor's version 3.9 kernel "stock", the one tagged as "the rest" are for the really custom roms.
(first post after floating around here for a couple weeks since getting my a500)
I'm running Lightspeed with thor's kernel, oc'd (using cpu master free i think off the top of my head) to ~1.4ghz -- running very nicely

Xubuntop - A full XFCE4 desktop

The stock Webtop sucks in my opinion. A outstanding concept, but poorly executed.
I'm working right now in a "revamped version" of the stock one. I call it Xubuntop - A full XFCE4 desktop.
Xubuntu is originally a Ubuntu with XFCE4 environment and some optimizations. Check the original Xubuntu project (Google it)
I'm thinking in two versions: Lightweight and Full
Lightweight: flashed in Osh and ready to go!
Full: flashed in Osh and uses Webtop2sd to expand the internal disk space.
I know that many tried to do this and I warn you guys, I'm not rediscovering the wheel. It's just a "easy way" to get those extra applications using the Xubuntu as a base.
It will feature optimizations to make the environment as lightweight as possible, giving the CPU more room to process whatever you want to execute.
I'm working two weeks on this and maybe this will be ready Saturday, but I can't promise nothing
Maybe I'll need help to make the zip to use in CWM.
So... let's go back to work
I have a questions.
Is Xubuntop for cm7/9 roms or blur/stock roms ?
Will it be dependent on the broken/outdated Motorola packages?
By this I mean, will we be able to make full use of the repos to install newer versions of software that are dependent on newer versions these packages. (E.g. the latest verision of Chromium that I can get working now is version 4 due to its dependencies breaking webtop, even when apt-get has been fixed.)

Xubuntop should work fine with the Blur and Stock roms.
CM7/9 boots the Webtop from the Webtop2sd? If yes, then I guess the "full" version can work.

In some parts, yes, it will be dependant.
My intention is to hold the core packages and add the lastest (and functional) repository with Arm support, 10.10 I guess.
The other alternative is get the source code and rebuild them in Arm architeture. This demmands a lot of work and I can't do it all by myself. But with more time and people, it can be done.
If it will run the latest available version of Chromium from the repositories (It was version 14 last time I checked) that's all I'm really concerned about. Good luck!
I guess it's impossible to squeeze a light version to fit inside the 0.8gb osh reserved space. Crap!
By the way, the system is more fluid than before. I'm trying to remove all non-essential packages right now.
With AT&T stock kernel (1Ghz) GtkPerf test run now in 13s. A huge difference.
Please give WebTop2SD a try to have a much bigger osh partition .

The system have ~1gb right now
Edit:
I'm having a hard time trying to port the lastest Chromium-browser. I need to re-install ArchLinux in my desktop first and see if I can make it work there. I'll delay Xubuntop a bit trying to port it.
I did installed xfce4 after using webtop2sd. But i ended up with a lot of stuff laying around not used, i'd like some more integrated!

Like what? aumix? Did you installed xfce4 or xfce4-desktop or even xubuntu-desktop?
I'm manually installing each software from the 'original' xubuntu distro to make sure we don't end with useless software. Is that what you want?

Oh, that would be great! I'm trying to port the latest Chromium to ARM.
Do you have experience in cross compiling? I'm stucked on this...
Would this run any faster than the current webtop with xfce4 interface? My webtop functions, buts slow as hell off my sd card sometimes. Its a class 10 pny card.
Only on windows (we use windows CE and its variants at work) but let me know how we can work.

I'm working very hard to port the Chromium-browser 18.0.1025 (latest official), I've just bricked the webtop attempting to upgrade some core files... Not a problem... I was expecting this.
I'll not give up.
I broke my webtop so many times trying to get newer software to work that I just made a disk dump of a working partition that was configured how I want it. If I ever have problems, I just restore the disk dump, and within a few minutes I have everything working again.
this has me VERY excited, but XFCE still isn't lightweight enough IMHO.
What are your thoughts about Fluxbox? I remember having DamnSmallLinux on a 200mhz machine with 128MB of RAM, that was very responsive...
That said, we don't have a webtop subforum.
Which we really need, to collaborate efficiently.
Any ideas? This forum is way to frickin busy.
