I have live wallpaper on My storage, in new beta2 was included necessary system files for this. I downloaded only same apk live wallpaper and install it. was fresh install with ext2.tar.gz from beta2 SD 1024, but i was install only ext2.tar.gz and 2d3d pack with ubuntu, on My Storage i have format partition ext3. Now i don't use SD card.

That happens to everyone and will happen until the developers don't issue a version using ext4 or more reliable filesystem support.

The actual version published on the site is using actively ext2 or the more slowish ext3 filesystems. ext2 is broken after 10-20 restarts of Android as the OS doesn't unmount clearly the FS.

If you make test of the partition under Linux after you restarted correctly the Android you will see "NOT CLEAN" message.

thanks now i feel good

i thought some problem with my installation or my phone

[Guest alen147]

I lost My storage while using Gparted. It didnt create a new partition it just showed an error so I wanted to format my storage with FAT32, but it showed me another error. Now it wont ercognize my storage at all and I cant do anything with it.

The terminal says:

Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sdb5--Device or resource busy. This means Linux wont know about any changes you made to dev/sdb5 until you reboot--so you shouldnt mount it or use it in any way before rebooting.

PLEASE HELP

@Someone with experience:

Can someone please make a (very) small guide on how to edit the source?

What i'd like to know is:

1) What app to use to download the source

2) What app to use for editing the source files

3) What app(s) to use for rebuilding (compiling) the source

If someone could list that, I would really appreciate it! :)

edit: i'm using ubuntu :huh:

Best tool is google ;-)

1. svn

2. any editor with (maybe with code colouring?)

3. arm-eabi*

I encoutered the same issue before. you can try to use ext3 partition and i feel more stable and more faster when JIT enabled.

Regarding the Cell Standby and Time Without Signal from the Battery Usage:

1. it is possible that the higher % that you have on Cell Standby...the better. That means that most of your actually consumption was done by the cell standby. For example, if in the las 5 hours you have the battery down from 100% to 80% and in the Cell Standby you have 50%, that means that from 20% of the battery consumption, 50% was made by the cell standby. If you didn't do anything else like intense wifi or gaming or gps, etc...than this is normal. So after one whole night, in the morning it is best that you have high percentage on Cell Standby. If something else has higher percentage in the list, that you have a problem;

2. now regarding the "time without a signal": from what I have google, it looks like this is an Eclair 2.1 bug. If you have at leas 3 or 4 bars on the signal strength icon, you should have less time without a signal. This is showing how much percentage of the time you had good signal. The problem is that Eclair is trying to search for better signal all the time, even if you have only two bars, because it is thinking that you don't have signal. And this is what is consuming the battery.

Try to keep your phone in areas with at least 3 bars and tell me what is your percentage of "time without signal". You should get smaller percentage.

This is just a theory, I might be wrong. We should test and see.

P.S.: there are also some tricks to reduce "time without signal" and "cell standby":

1. dial *#*#4636#*#* /Phone Information and select WCDMA only (or whatever you have in your country and from your career);

2. turn the phone to airplane mode, leave it one minute and then switch airplane mode off again.

Thank but it didnt work. It seems that I lost MY storage. Just to tell everyone that by using Gparted you can damage your storage, so be careful.

Anyone having an idea how to resolve the problem?

PS:

Can someone tell me how to make make 2 partitions one partition, like before the partitioning.

The first partition must be always FAT(FAT32) partition,otherwise windows cannot recognize it,and also look for an Unallocated space-it must not be the first one...

I've made some filesystems benchamarks you can see here:

As you can see, ext4 is the only option we should go for :huh:

Making good progress by the sound of it :huh:

But err, our Omnia 2's have a temperature sensor? :) :P

Really helpful benchmark. Only one question: you are measuring I/O ops per second ?

Because the throughput is interesting as well and of course both matter the speed of Android.

Can you tweak the inode size as well ? I looked for some options but seems the max size was the default 4096.

I hope the devs will look at and enable the ext4 option in the next release of the kernel.

It doesn't hurt the ext2 option as they're separate and everybody can choose speed vs reliability (I'd choose the second lol)
