[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?

[Q] If someone could explain me few things.

I am totally new to this and I got my Wildfire couple of weeks ago. English is not my native language so excuse me if I write something wrong but I hope that you will understand my request. I dont really understand this rooting and flashin custom roms and everything, so I have few questions :
1.) What is rooting ? I read that it means accessing root directory but I dont fully understand that.
2.) Custom roms, what do I really get with them ?
3.) Kernel, what is that ?
4.) Can OC and flashing custom rom's be harmfull for my phone ? Can something blow up ?
5.) Is it possible to change language of my phone to croatian with those custom roms ? I tried with morelocale and apps simillar to that, but it translates only half of the interface.
I would be very gratefull if someone could explain these terms to me into the smallest details so I could understand everything. Thank you.

anyone ? pleasee

Well not a techie myself but there is a thread generally explains this in the Android forum of you look for it.
Rooting means opening access to the system file on the phone that is normally not accessible this let's you change files and system attribute like themes etc. And mods that let's you install from sdcard.
Kernal is the instructions to the CPU how it should work.
Oveclocking are predefined or scaled instructions to make the CPU run at higher speed than the default in stock roms, available on custom roms only, will make the system smoother less waiting loading times. It will generate more heat than normal but hardly will blow anything up.
Custom roms are tweaked versions of sense or original android, they include functions like app2sd, most useful as it puts files to SD card and work with the phone releasing resource so you can install many more apps. Of course downside is SD card is operating more decreasing its life but depends on the card reliability and good branded ones these days they last for years.
As for you language you should read the Rom threads.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App with Wildpuzzle v0.8

1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooting_(Android_OS)
2: Read the ROM thread. More often than not, the features are listed there. There is no specific answer as to what you get by installing Custom ROM's. It differs from ROM to ROM. Some offer performance, some offer stability and so on.
3: The interface which controls the hardware, basically. It is a modified form of Linux kernel, and, to know what a kernel does, you can look it up on Wikipedia.
4: No, it cant blow up. That being said, it is not recommended to keep the phone OC'ed 24x7 at very high values. A moderate OC doesnt have any negative effects, with maybe a reduction in the lifespan of the hardware, but, IMO, that will be seen over a very long period of time.
5: No idea, sorry. Never required any other language apart from English myself.

1.) Rooting is simply "HACKING" your phone so you can put whatever you'd like to on it (Custom ROMs and such).
2.) Better battery life, more customization and such.
3.) Too deep, but in simple words kernel is the base of the OS running in your phone (apperently Android is UNIX based).
4.) Small risks only, if you're doing something wrong. I didn't get any problem myself though.
5.) Yes. Not fully as said, but yes.

hmmm I think that I understand everything now. Thank you all for the given informations.

and I have one more question : does anyone know for how long will I have to wait until I can root my 2.2 Froyo ?

Till unrEVOked gets the HBOOT cracked again (no specific date )

To change the cpu power and make the battery long lasting one i rooted my phone do i need to install a custom rom or theres an app i can just install on original sense to manage cpu and battery like from custom roms?

You just need SetCPU. Since you are not looking to overclock, you don't require another kernel or a Custom ROM.

If you're looking at underclocking be careful as not enough CPU power will cause lag and freezes.

Nope. No one has an ETA, and this holds true for (mostly) all dev related work / releases like this, Not just unrevoked.

I thought it was like that, but there is no harm in asking I hope that it will be soon because I want new rom because official is disaster.

Engineering hboot, radios... Please help me understand

ok so I have been reading and what not... I have searched far and wide but still don't quite understand. But anyways here's my question.
Pros and cons of going to the other hboot?
Is there any reason to change my radio version? Will it benefit me at all?
is this idea of the way the phone works kind correct?
The phone starts up, hboot will load up the os files (which is my royalginger rom I installed)
So changing the hboot ver is like changing your BIOS ver on a computer motherboard.
now, what kind of tech is actually in this phone... A proc, graphics proc, memory, some storage space. Can any of these parts be modified, upgraded, or even touched? Or is it all permanently on the phones main chip.
And the last question. I know its possible to overclock phones.. But what is the best way to do it? Like, on my computer I never oc using software, always do it through the bios. But what's the best way on the glacier?
Thanks for answering any of these ?s... It'll all help me better understand my phone and how it works and I would like to learn this stuff well so I can help people out on this forum someday soon

To overclock:
1. Flash overclock kernal.
2. Install setcpu from market.
3. Go crazy.
4. You didn't search far and wide enough.

the .85 hboot will allow you to flash any part of a ROM, wipe any partition on the phone, and install recovery images from the Engineering scree. It helps you to not brick your phone. There have been a couple of people on this forum that would of bricked their device if they didn't have it.

IIRC the HBoot would be similar to a BIOS. It physically loads the OS. However i've never changed a BIOS on a Windows Computer so i cannot tell you.

It's all soldered into the main board and cannot be tampered with unless you feel like soldering, writing a kernel and a new OS.

The best way to over clock a ROM is to download and install a kernel. You will need a program similar to SetCPU to manage the speed. If you should download Cyanogen(mod)'s CM7.x it will have a overclocking kernel natively.

well as far as the radio goes, some people (such as myself) have reported a better signal by flashing the newer radio, i noticed between 1-2 bar increase within the same spot in my room

With the caveat that, not always but often, better a radio with better signal will come at the expense of battery life.

screw up your bios and you pull the cmos battery, unplug the power supply and you're fine. screw up the radio or hboot and you have nothing to fall back on. A phone is a lot like a pc, without all of the fallback and replaceable parts.

I've been using the engineering radio for a few weeks now, no complaints, was worth the simple flash.

1. ok so to overclock I flash an overclock kernel. Can I flash in a new kernel without changing to a different rom (as in can I keep my royalginger thing I flashed in)
2. By installing the engineering hboot I can change any part of the rom. Does this mean I can do the above? Change my kernel without changing the whole rom?
3. A newer radio has the potential to increase my signal?
4. I've been searching for a while and still can't figure out the difference between an asop, sense, etc types of roms?
You guys are an amazing help... Thank you so much

YES. You need to make sure that you use a AOSP ROM kernel or a Sense Kernel. I'm not 100% sure about Royal Ginger. I believe it's AOSP but you'll want to double check

Yes. But you can flash kernels w/o needing the E-hBoot. You can flash them from the recovery. and not they will not mess with anything.

AOSP = Android Open Source Project. Look at the G2 for an idea. Cyanogen has AOSP style UI, but they throw some extra options in.
Sense = HTC Skin. It's what the Droid Inc, Desire, come with
MotoBlur = Motorola's Skin all of the Moto Droid line & the Cliq come with
Espresso / MySense = T-Mobile's custom Skin for the MyTouch 4G

thanks man. That helped a lot. One last question? By check what it is do you mean look up on the internet or on my phone

Kernels are based on the style of skin that you are using. We uses either Sense or AOSP. You need to know what type of ROM you are using, and flash the correct kernel. Meaning you cannot use a AOSP kernel on a Sense ROM. So make sure you know what RoyalGinger is prior to digging though Kernels.

Is there a way to confirm or verify if I have engineering boot installed?

Because it will allow you flash, wipe, or load specific sections of your ROM or allow you to reflash recovery images if one should fail. most people will never encounter this but it's a good failsafe to have on your phone.

faux's kernels clearing state which rom they will work for, so pick a rom, then pick a kernel if you want, overclocking isnt really necessary on our phones since its plenty fast already
btw royalginger is based on cm7 which is based on aosp

i assume it would depend on the exact reason why it stop reading the cache partition. I do know i've see a few threads where people flashed a different recovery image and was able to re flash a ROM and getting it work. But then again it'd all depend on why it failed.

[ROM] RusMod 1.19

RusMod 1.19.
Added:
CBW kernel and some build.prop changes.
This is mod for russian users(was so.. unitl now)
Now i wish to give it to you.
About it:
Well, i can copy page from Khal's rom and say - it all there.
If we get something here, that gets to RusMod.
It's fully stock(i hope so, cause we have so many changes... =))
How to install it:
If your rom based on Dexter rom than there is a chance that you will only need
wipe cache and dalvik-cache.
If not - you should wipe all data.
After restoring rom from nandroid apply patch, because russian version of settings.apk and phone.apk have some changes for russian users.
Well, that's all.. i think =)

BTW: i recommend to use software from Go Dev Team like Go Launcher Ex, Go SmS Pro and e.t.c. It really good and opensource =)

Much appreciated... will try out shortly
Btw, is there gingerbread theme for this ROM? If so, where can I get it? Thx

Nope, gingerbread theme not there.
After framework upgrade in RM 1.16 themes are in reworking.

Okay install success... gonna test out for a bit and see how it is. Btw you have lightXt pre-installed over this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.coreaaosi.afroid&feature=search_result which has more features, better look and a widget... (and doesn't require root)
Also, I switched language to English but there's something in my notification bar as ongoing but I have no idea what it is. That's in russian and it has an American flag next to it in the status bar and clicking on it takes me to some settings that's also Russian... any idea what that is?

Afaik there is some program with name metamorth.. it's changes phone theme...

Metamorph works "live" on the phone & when it themes framework-res it will reboot the phone & with owq's morph I think you have to run through MM a second time to get the white clock color. ZipThemer takes the morph & builds an update.zip (& an undo.zip for when things go wrong). So you create the update.zip (I use HTC Edify Generic update script setting) make sure it is in the openrecovery/updates folder, boot into OC & apply the update.

Hello fjfalcon,
Can you please tell us what are the advantages of this rom over stock 2.1 or miui?
Will it increase free RAM, rom space, snappiness ? Any disadvantages over the stock roms? Is the haptic feedback as strong as the original stock rom?

[Q] rooted.....now?

So I have rooted for the first time, I flashed a ROM.
ok so i don't notice much difference.
So I'm guessing maybe its just the ROM I am using, I wont mention it by name as I'm sure the dev. Put alot of time and effort to create it and its just not what I'm looking for.
Other than speeding up the performance a little, what was the root suposed to do?
And
from what I can see ( and I'm not very experienced in this stuff, I'm learning ) most Roms are just stock with stuff riped out. What else is possible? I wanted to set myself apart from my stock user friends.

Why did you do it if you didn't already know the answer? Anyways, you can overclock, undervolt, have ROMs like MIUI and CM7, free wifi tethering, and more stuff.

You probably shouldn't have rooted if you didn't know what you were doing. As they always say, "If you have to ask what rooting IS, you probably shouldn't be looking up how to do it yet."

ok maybe I worded that wrong. Yes I know that I can overclock, Already done. And I have a rom on it. I guess what I'm asking is what diffferent roms have to offer.
I'm just learning and don't completely under stand all the technical stuff and the slang. They all basicly say the same thing. Faster and longer battery.

It really comes down to customization. A big one is boot times being much faster - this really seems popular, which I obviously understand. Some people compress all of the apps so the ROMs can really get down to like 200MB and the ROM is usually much better on memory in these cases. Another huge thing is custom kernels (overclocking) and being able to remove unwanted bloatware with system applications. There's apps on the market that only work on rooted devices, such as custom recovery which allows you to take a backup and then restore in the event you screw something up and get boot loops, and apps like cachemate and one of my new favs, the Reboot.apk. It's really limitless. Oh yeah, you can also customize font colors and notification colors, battery (and other) icons, messing with the build.prop, you are able to change certain behaviors of the phone/tablet, and with TrevE's apps, you can find out if your phone/tablet is spying on you. I recently deleted a lot of logs and made those files and folders read only so no more logs could be made. And finally, you customize your boot animation, which is really cool.

Thank you that's what I'm looking for.
So if I wanted to say change some icons, ist the same as flashing the rom? Can I download icons and install the same way? I'm Not ready to make my own or anything lol

Well, you can download full icon packs on the Market. Some are paid, some are free. There are other applications like "BetterCut" or something like that that allow you to change the icons. I'm not sure if you need a custom launcher to do that though, as I've always changed my icons inside of a custom launcher like Panda Home. Panda Home actually has a built in custom icon changer! Not sure if it's compatible with the tablet though, but I know ADW is. Good luck!

Perhaps, you should just flash back to a stock acer rom.
But before you do, take a good benchmark on your battery life.
Then flash back.
Sometimes, rooting is just not for everybody.

Ok one more question.
I have done a full back up, if i want to try a different rom, i flash the same way. If i dont like it i can restore using the backup i made and everything goes back to how it is now? Including how my home screen is now and widgets?
Thank you everyone!

Yes if you did the backup inside of cwm.. I used this feature alot when i was messing with the UI Of my tablet.. NOW all my icons text boarders all match the nice burgundy color case i have my tablet in
I Would try to restore your backup to be sure it does restore before flashing a new rom..
just make sure you fallow all instructions by the Rom Developer.Doing this and you should be fine..
If you brick your tablet you can Blame me .......
Happy Flashing...... STOCK IS BORING.

Ok great thank you
Just to be clear, i hate to asume but cwm is clockwork mod right?

Generally, this is correct.
Each Rom cook usually posts the procedures needed to install their rom. Usually, game data, downloaded files and such, is saved. Usually, but not always. Things on the ext sd card are not effected by this process. Usually the procedures are the same. Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache. Sometimes we like to throw in some formats. Especially with the newer roms.
Your full system recovery, should be done through your CWM recovery or RA Recovery, whichever you use, and NOT using an internal application. And this should be done before you install a rom. It will save your current system, widgets, etc, so your system is just like it was before you installed a different rom.

ok this might be a little pointless but I still cannot find a working method to root stock 3.2 help please
