Guest F53 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 What is the obsession with My Storage installs? Ok, maybe if you don't have an SD card (Why not? They are so cheap now), or if the SD card you have is as old as the hills, but class 4 SD cards have been around for ages and you can buy class 10 SD cards really cheap nowadays. IMO, a class 4 or better SD card is as fast as My Storage and it has the big advantage that you can easily replace it. If I'm not mistaken (maybe I am), "My Storage" is NAND ROM flash and that has a useful lifetime of 100,000 writes (could be as little as 10,000 if earlier technology). So if you put a swap file on there and perform 1,000 writes a day; your My Storage is going to last less than 4 months before pages start going bad. Well, maybe I am mistaken, but I'm not going to take the chance personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bhban Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Issue closed after i managed to recover the partition using gparted in unbuntu. But still i am having problem to manual install in internal storage due to i have little knowledge on linux command, will try again tonight... i tried to install beta2 into internal storage and update to beta3 later but somehow it hung half way, i have no choice to remove the battery and after restarting the window and my storage is gone. Please teach me how to recover my storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's all inline so they do not have a card class 10. For those who want to use. Partition the memory card in fat 32 and linux swap. Check gparted in which the number of swap. and puts it in thefstab file. The mine was / dev/block/mmcblk0p2 as the swap partition is 2 sdc, because the first is fat 32. So working.

Guest lalinde89 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 About Chainfire3D, all it does is reduce texture size, so the game will need less memory increasing the performance. But in beta 3 we have enough memory for G3D. It can't upgrade the performance like a processor upgrade, that is what we would need to run games like Asphalt 5, or another phone. Let's keep in mind that the phone still the same, we are just running another system. There's no milagre, isn't Asplhalt 5 for a high end device? yeah asphalt 5 isnt for high end divice, by the way i know you are right but i have seen diveces running games like asphalt 5 smooth with less ram and speed processor!i dont know why lol..but thats why i think our device is getting better with beta 3 and sooner upgrades!!maybe someone can explain how does this work...why some less capable devices run smooth some 3d games..?? by the way, i think this project is great!!!thx a lot!

Guest lalinde89 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 No. Asphalt 5 isn't only for high-end devices. My little brother's phone. An LG GT540. When he bought it it had Android 1.6 which he purchased back then for130 euro. Now the same phone costs 67 euro. He flashed android 2.2 to it. The performance increased. Then he installed an custem rom with android 2.3.5 and now the only lag he had before is GONE! He as no lag on all the HD title games I tried. NFS Shift Asphalt 5 HD Nova 2 HD, no lag Miami Vindication, no lag Just about everything I tried on it is butter smooth. And all this by just an software update. From stock 2.2 firmware to custom modified android 2.3.5 (android 2.3 is just a minor gpu improvement over 2.2 wich isn't noticeable, so the tweaks in the software made it such fast) yeah thats what i was thinking, but im new in this lol! LG GT540=600 MHz processor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lalinde89 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Sometimes I can't get root acces with ChainFire3D (needs root to start it up) Our Omnia 2 is already rooted but sometimes it fails. My solution to that is to reboot and hope that it works with the root acces permission. My android installtion is the stock install from their website and I installed it on an slow class 4 sd card. I can't see my internal storage. So I got the most stock installation that you could get =S 3 reboots and nothing...the same error..!i dont know whats happening!(could not write to/system) what could i do??!

Guest eknohr Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi devs, I thing I had a bug while talking on speaker, a black lock screen with no response. Today I was driving and received a call, so I turn on the speaker and talk about 10 min, then I get home, but when I tried to turn off the speaker I was not able, the screen remains black and locked! I was still on my conversation so the phone was working, but the display was black, I tried every button on the phone, except the end key, and even swipe my hand in front the sensor and nothing; so I decide to connect my phone to my Pc and since I have the option of "stay awake while charging" ON, my phone turns my screen on again. I thought that this bug was solve on beta 3 or may be is a new one or just back look and is just me. Hope this may help to prevent an error, if any.

Guest xibianliang Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 USB data transfer on my phone doesn't work any more, both in WM and Android. i plug it into my computer and it is unrecognized but i can be charged via USB. also, the phone can not be charged from AC outlet when turned on. i have to switch off the phone to charge the battery. i tried a hard reset but that didn't change anything. anyone know what's wrong? is it hardware-related?

Guest marisaleh Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) For the Attention of voyteckst I mentioned in an earlier post that you have to have three different versions of the installer, one for each model 2G, 8G, 16G. I think a more practical way of doing it is to have one installer with three partition schemes built in, one for each model. When the installer executes, it checkes the model or the size of My Storage of that model and then it applies the relevant partition scheme. For example, when i did my manual install on my 2G model, with an 8G SanDisk sdcard I used the following scheme: Partition 1 fat32 831 M Partition 2 ext4 1000 M Partition 3 linux-swap 128 M The Android system uses about 40% of my ext4 I also configured to auto mount my sdcard for USB connectivity, so when a USB connection is established the PC can only see my sdcard. I also configured so that I can see and access the fat32 part of My Storage from android. Of course you can configure the other way round if you wish, for me this is ideal because My Storage is much smaller than my sdcard. Therefore I used my sdcard for USB connectivity. One great advantage I can see in using an auto installer is that you can reinstall again much quicker than manual install, say for example if you have a corruption, it is easier to use the auto installer rather than having to mess about with all these fiddly unix commands. By the way, I burnt a copy of UBUNTU onto a CD and run the CD as a Demo. It was a nightmare, UBUNTU kept crashing while I am in the middle of doing things, so you have to reboot again, it takes about 20mins, and then later on it looses the super user previliges so you have to boot again. I don't think they want you to use it for any length of time, ie commercially. It did the job in the end. So please please voyteckst get the auto installer working we need your help mate. Running on internal Storage is definitly faster and more stable. Edited October 25, 2011 by marisaleh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prashanth p Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hello guys... Everything went perfect for me in installing froyo beta 3 on my SD card. I have started working on android on omnia 2 without any problem. I forgot to take the backup of my SMS & Contacts from Windows 6.1. So I rebooted my android to get the contacts from Windows Mobile. I have taken the backup from Windows mobile. Later i tried to boot up android using Gen.Y Dual Boot (WVGA version for SD Card). Here my problem started. I am unable to boot back to the android. The error message in the bottom of Gen Y. Dual Boot is "ANDROID MISSING" I have searched lot of threads but i didn’t got the clear solution for this. Someone suggests to edit registry. I don’t know how to edit registry in Windows mobile. I know editing registry in windows desktop very well. Editing registry will make my problem solved. Please help me guys to back the android. I liked it very much. Thanks Prashanth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partition sizes are simply mathematically calculated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
