Guest meinnit Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Many thanks for all your input, it has worked. Its a shame that the app2sd issue still seems to be there. Are there any schools of thought for the cause of it? Its a significant annoyance but the speed of the new rom is something i don't think i could lose (and the fact that my internal memory free space is now 85mb rather than a continually dwindling 14mb). Heres hoping that 1.8 will have it fixed! Great work Paul et al. What is this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jan M Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 What is this issue? apps2sd breaks ability to install applications when rebooting and sometimes when mounting the sd card through usb... I don't know if my particular sd card is complete rubbish (8gb "class6 nokia" for ~11eur) but after countless force closes and freezing boots on 1.7 I gave up on apps2sd and now its running smoothly...interestingly I wasn't having problems with the 1.0 rom (except having to repair ext after reboot).

Ohh, that's odd, yes, the issue where you have to repair ext is well known, and causes apps2SD to stop working, but I've not heard it happen when you're mounting/unmounting the SD card. Maybe there's something dodgy with the way the phone mounts it, I wouldn't see why else mounting and unmounting the FAT32 partition would make the ext one corrupt.

Guest tido Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 When its cold your skin resistance goes up, probably either because less blood flows to the extremities or you produce less sweat. I don't think a firmware update will fix that. Does anyone havee this problem? I don't think this is to be like this :S However, today the screen was not unresponsive, but it did weird things. Eg. when I want to pull down the notifications bar, it slides up the menu... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonathonf Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 <br />Ohh, that's odd, yes, the issue where you have to repair ext is well known, and causes apps2SD to stop working, but I've not heard it happen when you're mounting/unmounting the SD card.<br />Maybe there's something dodgy with the way the phone mounts it, I wouldn't see why else mounting and unmounting the FAT32 partition would make the ext one corrupt.<br />I imagine it will be down to how the phone powers down. If apps2sd isn't terminated correctly it will not unmount the ext partition, If an ext partition is not unmounted correctly all sort of errors can occur (compared to a FAT drive where error correction is minimal, i.e. a file will be inaccessible but not much else). The phone will also unmount the FAT drive as it's expecting that one to be there; the ext drive not so much. When you mount via USB the phone transforms into a card reader - if you're in Linux the ext drive will show up. Again, if you don't unmount the drive from Linux before unplugging or dismounting from the phone errors will happen. All of these errors will be greater when using ext4 as earlier kernels with ext4 support (i.e. 2.6.27) have a notorious zero-file bug. Essentially if on mount during normal checks (or journal replays) a corrupt file is found the filesystem zeros the file. The file is still there but has a file size of 0. This is obviously not a good thing and a few months ago resulted in non-booting Linux systems, for example (mine included). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, yeah that would certainly do it :) I thought it just mounted the FAT partition for the PC :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gamer9 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I just installed this rom and done a factory reset through Settings, however i cannot see the Titanium Backup app on my phone at all. I had it before when i installed 1.7 but i had never done a factory reset then. Any reason why its gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because various apps, e.g. Titanium & Google Maps, are installed to the /data partition when you install the ROM. And /data is wiped by by the factory reset.

Google Maps can be downloaded here, which then needs to be transfered to your phone to be installed. The Titanium Backup, as mentioned in the previous post, can be downloaded straight from the market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
