Guest theboxman Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I'm getting a notification on startup about checking for errors on the SDcard... Is that normal with a2sd installed? might connect the card to linux and delete the partition table over here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest afiorillo Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 [...] 11. Flash from zip -' r1-a2sd-desire-dalvik-upgrade-signed.zip' [...] What am I doing wrongly????? Here's why I urge people to READ CAREFULLY the tutorials: re-read step 6, you're not using the right file. ;-) The '...upgrade...' A2SD package is only for those that have already A2SD installed from the 'original' Paul' package and want to add Dalvik-cache support to it. Giving your situation, you NEED the '...fresh...' package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heppieboeddah Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) Noticed that the amount of internal memory was dropping down in spite of apps2sd is working as it should. It went down from about 121MB to 69MB without really installing some big applications. I know data is to be stored on the internal memory as well so i installed 2 applications. Move Cache for Root Users. This will move some cache-database to the sd-card. And, Cachecleaner This will clean youre cache. After running the two applications the internal memory went up to a 115MB again. Seems to me that running out of memory stays a problem and can only be solved by clearing the cache regular........ Will crosspost this i a new topic. maybe this is of any help? Edited May 4, 2010 by Heppieboeddah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest loolooaltern Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) Sorry, it was a mistake done when in a hurry...This message was for another topic and I don't know how to delete it Hi everyone, Yesterday, I tried to root my Desire. To do so, I downloaded the linux image provided in method R3 and extracted all the files on my computer(which is running ubuntu) Then, I started to execute the commands in the step1 scripts one by one. While executing 'sudo ./fastboot flash zip testimage.zip', I got the "FAILED (remote: 90 ..." error. So, I did the command again and it worked fine this time. Then, I copied the next command from step1.sh without noticing that it was exactly the same (sudo ./fastboot flash zip testimage.zip) and it did the error again. So, I rerun it for the 4th time and it worked fine again. To sum up, it worked the 2nd and the 4th pass but did the error the 1st and the 3rd pass... Then, I tried to begin step2.sh but at the second command (sudo ./adb shell busybox --install /sbin), I got a permission error...so after some searches on this topic and google, I thought step1 has not completed correctly and the RUU was not flashed Then, I rebooted the phone It took around 10 minutes to shut on again and it was like the first time I put it on. All the apps&settings have disappeared and I had to redo the "settings tutorial"... Now, my questions are: Is it safe to retry everything from the beginning of step 1? (I would say, why not?) Why the command 'sudo ./fastboot flash zip testimage.zip' in step 1 is issued two times? Is it a kind of double-check or is it that it has to be done 4 times? And what about doing it 4 times like it was my case yesterday? Thanks in advance for any answer and thanks again to Paul for his really great job!

[...] Wait a moment... The last quoted sentence in your post conflicts with the rest of it. Have you installed "Move Cache for Root Users'? Will this app solve the problem? If yes, why do you say that the only solution is to clear the cache? Edited May 4, 2010 by afiorillo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nidorftirahn Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Is a SWAP partition required in order for A2SD to work or is it recommended to use a swap partition? I left mine at 0mb cause i couldn´t see why to use swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snarkasm Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Swap not required, and usually not even advised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nidorftirahn Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Swap not required, and usually not even advised. K. Thx then i made everything right this time :P As i mentioned before big apps seem to be moved to sd very well but small apps (below 1mb) seem to go directly to internal memory. Do i just imagine that or has anyone else made this experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys I'm not 100% sure, but you could probably manually install the initd scripts from the dalvik a2sd.

Guest PaulW21781 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm not 100% sure, but you could probably manually install the initd scripts from the dalvik a2sd. Agreed Without seeing the other kernel, I'd hazard a guess the only way would be to modify the MCR r1 ROM to contain the newer /system/etc/init.d/40a2sd script from the dalvik cache model. The 2 A2SD script I modified, image included within was based on Paul's original rooting method, so as they are based (and include) the kernel from those, I guess working with others would be hit&miss if they are based/hacked on something else.

Guest NisseGurra Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 How to add add2sd on the latest deodex Modaco rom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DesireUK Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I've done some looking... Inside of /data, there is another folder... /data/data Inside /data/data is all the application datafiles for running... Hence the phone space still going down?? Is it possible to move and symlink /data/data to /system/sd/data ??? This is the only possible solution I can see to the reduction of phone space still... http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/A2SD It mentions moving /data/data in there as an optional... but then inside 40a2sd, it says # don't allow /data/data on sd because of upgrade issues - move it if possible ??? **EDIT** I've since created a modified update zip for a2sd, and moved over the dalvik-cache folders... Free'd up 14MB of space so not too bad (went from 111MB free to 125MB free) :P Just unsure now if I want to move over /data/data... If you want the DALVIK-cache enabled ones, there are 2 files: If you have NOT already installed the A2SD release which Paul posted, use this one http://paulw.hardmilk.com/downloads/r1-a2s...resh-signed.zip If you HAVE already installed the A2SD release which Paul posted, and wish to add the DALVIK-CACHE feature, use this one http://paulw.hardmilk.com/downloads/r1-a2s...rade-signed.zip Just flash this using the Recovery Console as you did for the main Rooting mod. Also, if you flash the wrong one, or since flashing A2SD you are getting a bootlooping on the Quietly Brilliant screen, installing the UPGRADE Package may resolve this, as I found that if the file within /system/etc/init.d are not copied and set correctly, they *WILL* cause this bootloop. UPGRADE package fixes this if you encounter the E:Can't symlink /system/xbin/[ E:Failure at line 5: symlink busybox SYSTEM:xbin/[ Installation aborted. Problem from previous installs :D Works fantastic... i had 69mb internal memory... i flashed with the a2sd update above and now i have 135mb internal free... thanks for this...

Guest PaulW21781 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 the Apps2sd in here is based on the 0.75 bootloader, so I'd imagine that way it is not compatible with the 0.8 loader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
