I have been reading a ton on this data2sd, data2ext, data2ext2, and so on. I have tried many a method built for other phones on my hero with not much luck. However this evening I found a modified DarkTremor app2sd script that craigacgomez in the Nexus 1 forums modified to include data2ext. I flashed and after reboot gave the TU command ap2sd cachesd to start the move.Rebooted and everything seemed OK. Now I ran a Quadrant and I FLEW through tests 1 and 2 of the I/O, I hung on the third test, Database Writes. Seeing the I/O go so fast with this script proves we can do something like this on the HeroC. I am no DEV but I have done enough testing along with jeremysterling for you all to use the best script to start from. I am linking to the post that includes the script HERE.
NO NOT FLASH THIS IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!
THIS WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON YOUR PHONE!!!
With that said, I will continue to search around and get all the info I can. I hope a DEV can pick up on this and bring a HUGE improvement to the Hero's I/O
This is the thread that got us started on the idea. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868982
I'd love to see this working.. I looked over Data2sd a couple of days ago and was like ummm this is toooo confusing... But would love to try it with detailed instructions!
From what I have read is it increases internal storage and speeds up the I/O of all phones. As we all know when running a Quadrant Benchmark our I/O performance is seriously LOW!
Yea of course... only way of speeding that up is JIT but doesn't really help that much... I'm using a Class 2 sd card though would I still benefit from this mod?
Gsm hero guys have this working In a custom rom and are pulling quadrant scores around 700

It isnt working correctly, yet. We need someone with Linux to open the files and tweak them for our phone
I take that back, it half way works as it is right now, but if you have to ask how you may not wanna do it, lol
Data2sd vs data2ext is kind of a hot topic around the forums. Sd seems more stable but ext gives the ridiculous I/O boost

Its flashable...
BUT You have to have 2 gig partition on SDcard of ext2. Also make NANDROID and back up your SD card, when you format it (I use EASEUS) to make the ext2 partition it will wipe everything off of it! Put that nandroid on PC before partitioning sdcard or you will lose it. Its just a lot to do when its not fully working thats all. No way to get your stuff back if you forget to back nandroids on PC. A second sd card is ideal

Yeah, I have playing with my laptop. I did install ubuntu using wubi but decided I like ubuntu over win xp. So while trying to install ubuntu as only OS I found my cdrom doesn't like to burn iso files to well. Been a struggle to say the least. I think it will happen when kernel comes into play. The masses are more excited over the dropping of gingerbread, I don't see it being much better than 2.2 for us, unless we get a new kernel to go with it!

You guys know if you jump over to darch's godspeed recovery aka faster and hacked version of amon ra's it has built in BFS, overclocked to 768, and it has ext4 support. I know some of you use clockwork recovery which is cool, and theres nothing wrong with that but this recovery would be easier to partition your sdcard right from your phone. I dont use clockwork recovery so i dont know if it has ext3 or ext4 support. Also I have been reading a ton about data2sd and data2ext as well because im interested in I/O boost too.
Just put the image on your sdcard, rename it to recovery, and go to terminal and type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
For those who dont know how to flash recovery. You can also do this from adb.

I have also been reading alot here too about data2ext4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859419
Although cyanogen doesn't really like other apps2sd scripts or hacks of this nature in his roms I would like to try this with cm6 myself. Right now were getting quads of about 400 but jumping to 700 would be really awesome and a great deal of speed increase. I am also noticing alot of roms are including this script in their roms and or kernels and was wondering how the devs here felt the heroc would benefit from this. Back when flipz was making roms for the heroc he had a rom called FRESH TOAST which was a 2.1 rom that he and toastch worked on. It was the first heroc from to use bfs(I think) and it had to run with a partitioned sdcard to ext4. It was blazing fast even though it wasnt complete and was more of a WIP/DEV rom; I had never seen sense run so fast. So I do believe the heroc can play nice with ext4. Sorry for going on and on this has just caught my eyes over the past week and I am really interested. Maybe if we get the .34 kernel going with this script the heroc would be a beast lol.

you could use power iso and mount the cd within windows and install along side... or it might burn the iso smoother than the current software your running... just a thought... you'll have to find a serial for power iso unless you buy it
sorry to get off topic... lol... i just installed ubuntu 10.10 along side windows cause i liked how easy it was to move around in after i installed a virtual box version, i've always used opensuse but my computer's insides aren't new enough to run smooth enough for me... and everything kind of works out of box with ubuntu...

Looks like the 2nd ROM is ran from the sdcard, kinda like running Android on WM phones was for a while.
I would kill for this on my Evo, and by kill, I mean donate what little monies I have to the cause. Tired of nandroiding back and forth between Sense and CM everyday. But, I'm linux retarded, so I definitely need windows instructions.
Thanks for getting this going, if you need someone to test with windows, I'll give it a go.

I'm going to try and get a batch script written. It's been a while since I have messed with batch files, but I can send you a PM later tonight with directions on doing it from Windows to test out whether it works.
And yes it is stored on the sdcard. I am not sure how big your ROM's are so we might have to modify the sizes of the partitions.
Right on.
The sense ROM I'm running now is 208mb zipped, about 278 unzipped. CM6 with gapps is about 88mb zipped.
Always willing to put my evo on the line for further testing. I'm willing to try.
Running windows 7 64 bit.
Evo with 8gb free on sd card so i have plenty of space for roms
So if you need another let me know please. This sounds like a great idea
I'll test for you
I'm running Ubuntu dual-booted with xp pro on my netbook. I also have experience running Android on my Touch from the sdcard. I'd love to be able to dual-boot Magnus' CM-BT or another CM ROM with a sense ROM. Especially since Minneapolis is now 4g enabled!
Each partition is for each part of the rom. 200mb is for system 100 each for data and cache. The system partition might need to be increased.

Rebuilt the package again, still having a soft brick. Its either the kernel or permissions. Im working with mad_fitter atm do see if I can work out the debug. I can say there is major differences between these two.
Probably because of the libraries. Also you need a gingerbread kernel. May try porting the vibrant cm7 kernel. That should solve your soft brick

You will have 999999x more luck trying to actually grab the Vibrant CM7 and porting it over.
What you're trying to do is put 2.3 into 2.2, while mixing AOSP with TouchWiz. That's a recipe for very bad things and lots of wasted time.
I agree with you. I have no clue on a port though. I've never attempted one.

Thats exactly what im doing I have the CM7 Vibrant source, I have edited the files needed for the mounts. Currently still getting a softbrick. Im trying a different GB source atm because its getting a kernel panic.

Pretty much noticed that as I dug into this more but I believe it will work with the correct kernel. I have moved to trying another GB source and will report back what comes about with it.
You tried even when it was figured out how to flash roms? Its a lil different now.
Im trying this on my daily driver so this is a little slow. I wish I had a extra to mess with . Anyways still the same issues even with the same mounts as posted in other threads. Still looking into the problem.
It shows a fix for the mounts and permissions though. Tried that yet?

From looking at the device state, a lot of the java isn't working out (obviously), and also look at line #06-10 21:29:28.208. This tells me that the file system (or parts of it) that your are using is for another device.
Specifically here: ALSALib device/samsung/GT-I9000/alsa-lib/src/control/setup.c:565:
I've never attempted a port with a samsung (hell I've only had mine a little over a week), But there is a thread in this dev section about porting vibrant roms to this device. Did you look over that? A lot of this seems to be related to what I read there.
I did follow that to a T and a few others. I dont think the device name is much of a issue atm. Its the permissions and vm not working correctly.
I also noticed alot of Data permission errors in adb as well as not being able to access anything with SU even with superuser installed and SU in the system as well. Hopefully someone can hop on board with this and help me figure this out.
Ya good call. I'm afraid that in this department I'm not much help. The errors are definitely a familiar one, but I can't think of an explanation except for permissions and java. Seems a lot of folks are having the same kind of issues.

That's because the Vibrant CM7 was ported from Galaxy S - aka I9000.
So you're trying to port a port. By the way, they have all but given up on porting CM7 to the Vibrant last I looked. I just sold my Vibrant about a week ago and I would flash the nightlies as new ones were released. Although they were getting close there were still major issues with them.
My advice... accept the fact that gingerbread will not happen on this phone. But if you're one of those who refuse to accept defeat... much luck in your endeavors! Because ginger love would be amazing.
That is not cm7 as stated earlier but it is a port from a vibrant and cm7 has a few problems mainly it looks like gps which has had issues on most of these Samsung phones.
If someone knows more on the problem please post it so i can.correct them.

where did you download this 'tristan' kernel? i would check the script in it to see what it actually does when installing the kernel.
sounds like someone put a line in the script to format /mnt/sdcard
this is one of the reasons everyone here should understand what happens when you flash something. understanding the workings could save you from stuff like this.
+1 What Pirateghost stated. I happened to do a search out of curiosity and the only Tristan kernel threads that I found were all specific to the HTC Desire. This is not the same phone that we have, (Inspire/Desire HD).
If your card was formatted, you may want to try using a card reader and going through a Windows or Mac recovery program that you can install. The program may be able to recover most or some of your data. No guarantees though that it will work.
Downloaded it from on xda. But now that u mention it, I am the idiot because it was a kernel for a desire and not desire hd. So I'm assuming losing my data was better than bricking the phone by installing wrong kernel? I'm trying to find a good kernel to run on my inspire 4g with CoreDroid v8.1 any recommendations besides the one it comes with?
If u haven't guessed im fairly new at this android stuff. But learning every day, case in point. Lol

Some great kernel makers to look into would be, and this is not all of them, klquicksall kernels, LorD ClockaN Lordmod kernels, m-deejay Unity kernels, etc. Just make sure you use the correct kernel for the type of rom that you are using, whether it is an AOSP rom or a Sense rom.
*****NOT A CWM FLASHABLE ZIP*******
I tried to make a rom based off ACS-ICS v2, because my GPS was working.
However something in the rom still is off. I had no GPS. My Nandroid backup however restored my GPS.
So here is my first attempt at a Rom/Nandroid:
Based of of ACS-ICS - marcusant
-Official 2.3.5
-No CiQ (k0nane)
-Rooted
-EXT4
-IAP's EI22 Kernel* Basic OC/UV to 1200* (earthbound[iap] )
-DeOdexed (xBTx)
-Juwe RAM Tweak (Juwe11)
-3G TurboCharger (zeppelinrox)
I added:
•SGS4G Adrenaline Shot (Dsexton702)
•ASOP Sytle Lock Screen (ICS Themed to match ACS ICS Rom)
•ACS ICS Launcher 4.0
•LogProvider Fix
•AppWidget Picker
My appoligies to anyone I forgot.
If this works to get the GPS going for some,
Hopefully we can use it to figure out why ACS ICS kills the GPS.
Thanks bodi524

Correct me if i'm wrong but, I expect it's a Nandroid backup that may need to be extract into your CWM backup file and you just have to do a restore of it in CWM. I'd be sure to make a nandroid of your current rom before applying any other rom.

Semantics. It's this attitude that sends new users, that could be of benefit in the future, running away from development.
In the time it took you to chastise this guy, you could have just as easily pointed him to the right place to do as you suggested.
Who are you to judge what skill is, who are you and what have you ever contributed?

Geez. You didn't have to change the title to delete. I kinda fell bad that everybody was bashing on you now. I am perfectly fine with you branching off and starting your own rom... I have nothing against it because you gave proper credit. I didn't mean to sound mean or anything like that... All work should be shared and different people like different things. Anyways, I also suggest that you learn how to extract a nandroid or create a rom without one.

Making a cwm flashable is easy. There are many tutorials/how-tos out there.

I dont remember where I heard this but someone said that development isn't deleting apk's theming and calling it a rom.

The first rom I posted was an early branch off of another popular rom. Despite clarifying my intentions, stating my immaturity, and giving all due credit, a mod deleted my thread without warning. Rather annoying, since the toughest part of doing all this was assembling a clear and informative thread.
I have since moved the majority of my information and all my download links to a separate site, courtesy of another less whiny forum.
While I cannot condone if someone were to rip off an entire rom and claim the work to be all their own, I also cannot condemn an effort by someone attempting to learn and share.
Android is, after all, open source.
Unfortunately, XDA is a tough crowd. You'll want to be a little more prepared before you launch a Rom thread if you're not ready for the backlash.

Since I uploaded this I did figure out how to create a CWM zip and expand a nandroid.
For those that did try it I thank you...glad someone got some use from it. Will probably be my last.

Don't get discouraged and keep up the good work!!!!! You are doing a great job.
I, for one, thank you for your effort. Don't let the self-rightous spoiled children on this site get you down, keep trying to get better and learn.
Hi guys, i googled so much about that but everything is for linux. I found some tutorials but now im stuck. I need some dev or anyone who uses git, compiling with sources and applying diff on windows, to teach me some steps. I know how to download source codes, but dunno which to use for what and how. Basically i "just" need to apply diff to source code and compile.
I am posting this here because here are great devs and people, and also i would like to compile for nexus s.
I hope someone could help me with that.

Not to be rude, but why not just use Linux?

You can use ubuntu's wubi installer to install Ubuntu in windows, in such a way that it doesn't involve creating new partitions or messing with bootloaders.

How much space does it uses when installed? Im low. also, do you know, what sources i need to download if i want to apply one of evilisto mods? Framework_base and app package settings? Because if i download all sources on my drive it will take a lot od GBs and download will last forever. Or there is not a way other than full download?

Usually not. I have desperate hard drive forw windows. If your low on space to that point maybe you should invest in a new hard drive.

Im just low on c(Windows partition), d has a lot of place i guess ill have to give it up. I cant let pc download and compile 2 days.

Get a smaller distro and its no biggie on space. Not like puppy dog but maybe kbuntu xbuntu, etc
Or anything debbain, really, saves loads of time. Gentoo is hard to learn, gotta be good at linux for it.

I'm sure the ubuntu wubi installer will let you specify D: as the target drive.

Guess what, i need help. i put sources to download few hours, i was out on a drink. When i came back, ubuntu was frozen. Mouse, keyboard, picture, terminal. So i could just hit restart button and i lost all what was downloaded until that. Do you know what might couse that? I put 10gb for instalation on wubi. Now i installed it again with 20gb and i will try again. Maybe i was low on ubuntu partition space?

Probably, I think 20gb is probably not enough for compiling a whole ROM. Go for 100GB and allow a generous swap space, at least 16GB. If you are compiling the kernel, 20gb will be enough, and you won't need as much swap either.
But one you get used to Ubuntu you'll probably want to keep it, so you might as well allocate as much space as you can.

On installation i can choose from 2gb-35gb for ubuntu. Not higher. But i have 120gb of free disk. And why i need swap etc. I just need to download rom sources, apply diff patch and compile.

Wubi sucks, slow, instability....imho.
Your other option is to delete everything off d: that you can afford to lose, then use the ordinary Ubuntu install disk to repartition d: manually before installing.

Nah, i dont want to do that. I just want to try this out, if it works, i would maintain mods for few most popular roms(or make only for myself), but i wouldnt use ubuntu and that stuff every day. Thats why i hoped i can do it like mentioned in posts.
