Nate showed my how to remap the cache directory to another EXT2 partition to allow the SD card to wear out more evenly.

It could be... I'm currently running at 710. The kernel is not constantly running at 710, it will throttle between the OC speed and the lower speed (122) depending on the processor's load, so it won't waste battery or overheat. I remembered arrrghhh saying that higher OC can cause instabilities so it definitely can be speed related. If you have bad data in your data.img, it can also be related to that too. That's why I'm switching to the EXT2 partition test I'm currently doing now to see if it's more reliable.

Also, I don't think this would require Linux - there's tools for Windows that allow you to partition the SD in all sorts of file systems. It's just easier with Linux because a) the tools are built into the system and b) Windows won't be able to read those newly created partitions anyways, without other 3rd party tools :p.

Not to take any wind out of your sails, but I wouldn't consider that Linux hacking skills ;). Certainly got some geek cred, and it's not easy to do without any prior knowledge - but far from what I would consider hacking :p. Neopeek builds have required this for quite some time... (a separate ext2 partition that is)



hyc said that running on dedicated partitions did localize his corruption - thus not having to blast out his data.img (or in this case partition) as frequently - that doesn't mean that it eliminated the issue.

In theory it should be a little quicker as well - it might not be significant enough to even be noticeable to the end user.



If there's some demand for it, ndno (or me) can certainly make a how-to do this. The rootfs is already configured to handle it, so AFAIK you just have to setup the partitions and drop the data in - I'm not really sure how much repointing is involved TBH.

Yeah, it's not really "hacking" skills. I called it hacking because that's what I'm doing, hacking away at the scripts and stuff until it works. ;)

arrrghhh, if you find a good Windows tool that can create Linux EXT2 partitions (EXT4 for GBX0A), let's us know. I didn't know such tools existed so that's why I said a Linux distro is required. I guess I should do some more googling; I just tend to like Linux more so I didn't bother searching.

I didn't realize that neopeek was already doing this; I have never used neopeek. So I guess neopeek is more complicated to set up than the haret builds we have here :)

Again, I'm just doing this as an experiment for learning purposes so unless there are a lot of PROs for switching to native EXT2 partitions on a SD card, people should just stick to the way haret builds are set up in this forum. Besides, the NAND project is very close (if not yet) to completing and it uses native EXT2 partitions on a faster NAND interface so people should wait for that :)

Just to be sure, you have both types of loc disabled as well - netloc thru wifi or cell towers and GPS?

I would think the app would still work, but perhaps not because of the piece it's asking for isn't available...

ffkip, I was running GBX0A since yesterday and other than the data, hadn't had any issues until earlier today. Seems like every time I try to slide out the hard kb to text, etc, I keep getting FC's on it. And on both builds GBX0A and FRX05 lately I seem to be having more and more hard KB issues, just stops typing and you've gotta close the kb and reopen it to continue.

I have been lingering for a good while but always kept to myself while admiring the build and project. But, I am now very comfortable installing this on my TP2 but wanted to ask a question first to make sure I am following this correctly.

My TP2 is for Sprint so I had to unlock it via ROM to allow for use on my carrier Tmobile. If I install this will it reverse the "unlock" and bring my phone back to a sprint phone or will it continue to work with any network?

Any quick fixes for this? Sorry if this is a known issue or something. I read through and didn't see anyone else with the problem. Maybe just creating a new data.img?

Normally I use Neopeek builds and don't encounter this problem. Other than that, this is a pretty stable, fast build. I think this build might be a little more stable than the Neopeek GB build. I got a lot of FCs on there, but only a handful on here so far.

I will try right now to change home screen I guess?

Could this be becuase I use the wrong startup? on that 1st one, from XDAndroid I thought I was instructed to use rhod500 for my CDMA Touch Pro, on verizon, so I assumed that woudlnt change, but now I doubt any information I thought I knew.

I have gone back to every version except the original pre packed XDA frx02 version, and they all act the same? what am I doing wrong? However one thing I been consistant on, I unzip to andboot folder, then erase card on phone, then copy this over and edit the same rhod500 folders, startup.txt giving the rel_path=andboot

DO I need to make it be in GBX04A folder instead of andboot? or something else i do/did stoopidly? thanks

thanks.

When I change font size in Spare Parts, it will change the size throughout the system as normal, but if the phone goes to sleep and then wakes up, it reverts back. I don't know if it was like this in all the builds, I just now noticed.

Thanks arrrghhh I was hoping it wouldn't come to that but I'm going to give it a shot. I appreciate the quick response.

edit: Well that seemed to have solved the problem. What does the HP formatting tool do differently then using the Windows format? Cause before I even posted I tried with the Windows formatting tool and it didn't work.

A part that I left off in the question was, that I hard reset windows mobile side, due to an issue with backlight button or I thought software problem, hoping it would fix the dang thing. after 1 more pro2 got here so I could start setting up winmo side, that is when I find the problem. Since it didnt fix the backlite, I didnt mess with winmo, and used genYdual boot, then never realized the problem.

When you hard reset, it disable the GPS down to 911 only. From then on (any android in here at PPCGeeks) android would crash on ANY APP that asked for GPS (this includes google now) SO you have to renable it in windows by going to:
I only know for WM6.5:
start menu/settings/all settings/personal/phone/goto the CDMA Services tab, find the 'location settings' in list, hit the get settings, set LOCATION ON.

once I did this, everything is working in all flavors so far (last download I have on here tho, was last week, (march 27-'11) )

Hope this helps another nubeee.. :oops: (im an ID10T sometimes.)

Froyo has working GPS, and GB loses data connection every time you make a phone call until you go into settings and toggle it. If you use the development stuff over on XDA, Froyo also has working CDMA tower location and Bluetooth.

GB is much faster and smoother.

Indeed. To chroniX0 - try 'em both! See what you like best. Some prefer GB since it is quite a bit snappier. However, Froyo is *almost* feature-complete with a lot of the testing stuff that's been going around lately. Hopin to have a new build out of each soon :D.
