I think the battery life is especially abysmal on RAPH500, since something's causing it to never sleep. Unless that's just mine.



I've never had that happen. What I do is set up ssh, and then forward ssh over adb, and connect to that. It's pretty robust -- connections will stay up for hours on end if I leave the phone connected.

Instructions on setting up ssh (dropbear) are linked somewhere on here. to forward a port with adb just do
Code:
adb forward tcp:9999 tcp:22
that makes localhost:9999 redirect to <your phone>:22 (which is ssh. you could also do it with regular telnet, but you'd have to reset the telnetd to listen on all interfaces, which it doesn't, by default, for security.)



Never considered that. Glad to hear it's faster... wish I could get a free speed increase on mine.



First of all, I wouldn't recommend it. It's a bunch more work, and it's not any faster or more stable. Pretty much a waste of time.

Secondly, if you're committed, then open up rootfs.img, and look at the init script. There's a whole portion of logic committed to booting off of partitions if they're there. You'll have to manually copy over some of the files, since I don't think it's set to automatically do that, and then move your system to another location (installedsystem.sqsh, as listed in that file).

I'm not going to lay it out any further, because, like I said, to me it seems like a waste of time.
I tend to agree on the ext2 partition; more trouble than it's worth. i spent some time trying to get it working before I realized I was going to have to do a bunch of semi-esoteric code edits. It's pretty acceptable as it stands, and I think ext2 would only be notably helpful once we have it running on nand (since it self optimizes usage). Running the more vanilla method makes it easier for me to stay current and test faster as well. I am seriously going to have to get a new battery though, since it's just getting worse and worse. My wife used to carry this phone before me and she is (apparently) really hard on phone batteries.
