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.

What the heck is QFT? lol.
Sorry this is the only forum I regular.
QFT = Quite F****** True
So is that why my phone keeps acting flaky? Apps2SD ... I knew some people had expressed concerns about it but I never associated my issues with it. I'm not overly worried about it I guess. I'd rather have all the apps I have on my phone and deal with the occasional reboot or FC.
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.

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)
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

Hoax...not sure. But there was suddenly a fully functioning 2.2 rom. Its very nice. Working everything. Takes the vibrant to the next level...I wanted to get away from tmobile for a while and as SOON as I commited to verizon, BAM!! But I have 30 days to send this phone back. I probably will. I installed launcherpro and its very smooth, but I don't like to use a 3rd party app to make my phone work the way I think it should...my vibrant is a trooper...

There are a few great ROM's floating around here that are waaaaay better than stock. I'm running Fission (I really like it!) right now but There's a new one by Matt4542 coming soon that's supposed to be AOSP so check 'em out and flash a few and see if you like it with overclock before you take it back.

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?

Can you at least read data with apps such as Gallery and Astro File Manager? 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.

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.

Title says it all,
Are the developers here moving to the new developer phone or no?
Can we please forget some of the setbacks for this device and realize what a gem we have? The amazing CPU doesn't miss a beat and I believe is more reliable then the hyped dual cores. (TOO MUCH HYPE !!) 16gb of ROM is plenty enough.
Pure Google is the way too go.
Ok...
16GB of ROM is nice... but are we able to EXT partition that and do the proper apps2sd instead of the stupid froyo based implementation of it the same as we could an SD card? Or does this not matter as it should be mounted automatically anyway? I'm not sure how all that works with built in memory.

This is very interesting.

I'm guessing that about 2GBS will be avaliable for apps. All I know is that it's enough and I REALLY can't wait much longer for this thing to come
I was wondering about that. Awesome. Still torn whether or not I want to retire my N1 yet....
Regarding apps2ext/sd. Why would that be needed if there is 1-2GB of app storage? The N1 has about 200mb. I still haven't filled that up.

If it's 1-2GB storage then I personally won't need EXT, but as it stands if your app storage goes below a certain amount you start to get irritating alerts and your text messages and such stop going through... and if I don't use EXT I reach that point and it's rather annoying.
I hear ya.
Wouldn't it be nice If the user was allowed to partition the remaining internal storage at first boot?
Lets say the nexus s has 14GB left over after /system, radio, etc. It would be cool to decide how much of that space you wanted allocated to apps.
It may be a stupid or impossible idea. I don't know haha.

I know several other phones get support, but nothing like the G1 did or the Nexus One does... That's all I'm saying...
As for the MT4G, I HATE the MyTouch overlay on everything. It's not a genius button, it's a goofball button... I still will miss the trackball of the N1 and the color customization that comes with it.
he he
I was thinking, this great community has discovered and successfully enabled the hidden FM radio function on Nexus One.
Could there be a hidden SD slot on Nexus S?
I don't think the FM Radio wasn't hidden iirc, It was never programmed into the kernel or the phone. I guess we did learn as a community that the N1 had the right hardware just no software support.

That's what custom roms are for. Look like ppl wit be losing more than trackball colors on the nexus s. I was gonna get it also, but after the specs, no thanks
for the memory issue, most likely the NS will follow the GS style of 2GB for apps and about 13GB as the "sd card"
As far as cyanogen goes, i sent him a couple messages on twitter asking his thoughts on the Nexus S and he ignored them. and he hasn't said anything about it on his own so IDK.
They have had MASSIVE issues getting CM to work on any of the samsung devices, but with this one being stock google and being the dev phone, it should be easier to get CM working.
Anyway I don't think Nexus S is enough to be a developer phone.
While most other Android phones have SD and trackball support, Nexus S has neither, how can it still be a developer phone? I thought developer phone should have everything that other phones have.
I think Nexus One is a wonderful developer phone, despite front-camera, there's nothing else that Nexus One is lack of.
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'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.

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.
I just wondered, I'm not sure if this was ever brought up...
Lately, some of my friends have been passing all of their old phones such as Nexus S, Nex4g, HTC HD2, and SGS4G.
Well, I notice that the HTC HD2 and the Nexus S 4G can be partitioned or somehow manipulated that you can install endless apps on that partition. However, even though it is almost the same hardware as the Nexus S, nobody, or has had even tried to do what the Sprint S4G devs has done.
On the vibrant, it always shows that you got about 300 or less MB to install apps. But the problem is, when you overload that, your games/apps/etc., starts to just force close. I noticed that.
So, I searched the Vibrant threads and found nothing or no one has ever increased the amount of MB in their ROM.

Use a Root capable file explorer and create a file in your /datadata folder named .nodatadata (the one on the root of your phone)
After you reboot, it will take much longer than usual, all your installs will move to that folder and you can then install as many apps as you have "Internal Storage".
If you somehow manage to fill this up you can move your largest apps to your Internal SDCARD

But isn't it that you use the MicroSD card for this?
Let's make it clear, Internal SD is the Vibrant's and MicroSD is that small sd card.
And maybe I'm just looking at this aspect way to differently. I was under the impression when we do this, and I have done this, it pretty much the same concept as having Apps2SD, right? Or am I wrong still?
(Please, prove me wrong, and explain. No harm)

You must not be using the stock ROM, because that's not a problem on stock. On ROMs where this is the case, however, it is the /datadata partition that's limited. Raistline's .nodatadata solution will work - I'm running that way myself - but you will lose the speed bonus given by using /datadata. The /datadata partition cannot be resized in the way you suggest. I was looking into this too, but apparently the boot process (at least in Passion, the ROM I use) looks for the partitions to be a certain size. If they're not, it has problems. So resizing is not an option. You can either have only ~300MB and have fast operations, or you can get more than that and things can be laggy. (Mind you, it's not very laggy, like I said I am using .nodatadata and everything seems fine.)

Certain custom ROMs have this restriction. Stock usually does not, and other custom ROMs might not.

You must not be using the stock ROM, because that's not a problem on stock. On ROMs where this is the case, however, it is the /datadata partition that's limited. Raistline's .nodatadata solution will work - I'm running that way myself - but you will lose the speed bonus given by using /datadata. The /datadata partition cannot be resized in the way you suggest. I was looking into this too, but apparently the boot process (at least in Passion, the ROM I use) looks for the partitions to be a certain size. If they're not, it has problems. So resizing is not an option. You can either have only ~300MB and have fast operations, or you can get more than that and things can be laggy. (Mind you, it's not very laggy, like I said I am using .nodatadata and everything seems fine.)

Ok, I see.
I just got done messing with ICS Neobuddy, odin'ed to stock, and now running MoPed's Jetpack v9. I don't think this port is stock, but it's as close to stock 2.3.5
Later this week, i'll try out Saurom by Dgr8, and it's 2.3.6.
How did you input .nodatadata on Passion, since it isn't a 'stock' rom?
You think this will be laggy on any Ginger?
It's just a matter of creating a blank file called .nodatadata within the /datadata folder. I did it in a terminal window with "touch .nodatadata" but other methods will work too. If you search for .nodatadata you will find various posts with instructions.
the .nodatadata method allows you to install more than 512MB of apps on the phone, it will allow you to use the full 1.8GB App storage that your phone has stock.
Anything beyond that you can use move the app to SDCARD, which is the phones Internal 16GB of storage. Not all apps are able to use SDCARD installs though.
