INTERACTIVE DATA2SD MOD
There are a lot of ways of moving /data to SD ext(2nd) partition. Here I'll show you an easy way to do it which is fully compatible with Optimus One(and possibly other devices as well). If you don't like the method used here, try other Data2SD/ext mod which may suit your needs, but please, don't hesitate to post your feedbacks/comments be it negative or positive (feedbacks/comments are highly appreciated).
The mod, as the title says, moves the whole /data partition to your SDcard's 2nd(ext) partition, which could give you virtually unlimited space to install apps and also boost quadrant scores. I have tested this with EXT2(and can get up to 900+ on quadrant with stagefright off or 2000 with stagefright on, OC'd to 787mhz with I/O score playing around 4000 - 5000+), so if you're using other FileSystems, please do post your feedbacks and possibly your I/O scores as well. I have also enforced an e2fsck on every boot which is useful for ext2 users as this will check and fix your 2nd partition for errors on every boot, if there's any.
Dalvik2cache temporarily unavailable with v4b5. A new version with the option to move dalvik-cache almost anywhere possible is coming up. If you still want to use the dalvik2ram mod, try v1.2(link at the bottom).
Why move dalvik-cache to RAM? Basically, the idea of moving the whole /data partition to SD ext partition is to primarily get more space for installing apps. And in this case, it does perform very well and combined with fast SD cards, it could even provide real-life performance boost. Now the downside to this, is that while most /data contents just get copied and read not that much often, dalvik-cache stores some info that needs to be read and updated very frequently. This results in a high I/O read/write frequency and thus results in shortening of the SD card life(in theory, the same could also be said when left internally but this time dealing damage to the nand disk instead). To counter this, the method I used is to move dalvik-cache to a virtual-disk like partition known as a tmpfs. tmpfs resides in RAM and has dynamic resizing structure which can allocate space depending on your needs. This way, dalvik-cache won't be using any physical disk and therefore causing damage to none. Almost too good to be true right? Well the drawback is, because tmpfs resides in RAM anything written onto it get's lost when rebooted or in-case of power loss thus resulting in loooong boot times(depending on the apps installed), as dalvik-cache contents are being rebuilt on every boot. Well I think that's enough of dalvik-cache and lets start with the mod.
WARNING
USING A NON-APP2SD ROM OR SIMPLY UNINSTALLING APP2SD IS STRICTLY RECOMMENDED
DO NOT EVEN TRY THIS MOD IF YOU HAVE ANY FORM OF APP2SD INSTALLED
ALWAYS PERFORM A BACKUP BEFORE TRYING OUT STUFF LIKE THESE
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything bad happening to the world blah blah, you know the drill!
INSTALLATION

Can this be used with mik's CM7 beta6.1 rom ?
TIA
Very nice job! I will try it asap.
Attached the edify signed version (Clockworkmod 3 ). It installs just fine.
@hell1134: I think it should work on any rom that obeys the prerequisites and that are properly explained by ungaze (no apps2SD script installed or if it is something just uninstall in order to try this).

Should work with any non-app2SD Optimus One ROM on the fly. Make a backup first.
The script works fine. I tested it on Mik's beta 6.2. The only issue I have seen is with the themes. Even though a theme is selected, it defaults to the System one and since I could not find a way to do a hot reboot I couldn't properly apply my desired theme.
I have the other dalvik cache script running right now. You talk a lot about improving the life of the device/sd and saving space for apps. Is there no performance gains with doing this?

Personally, I don't find any huge/noticeable gain on any mod I have done with O1 this is because O1 is already super fast as it is, and it's a good thing. But if you're the kind of person who measures performance based on benchmark's, then data2sd will give you huge I/O performance gain(specially in quadrant). On the other hand, dalvik-cache2ram is purely for disk preservation only. Not much gain here.
regarding themes on miks CM7 6.2. I really don't have the slightest idea on what's happening with your themes. Maybe its in the way that CM implements themes? I reallt don't know as themes reside in the /system partition which should not be affected by the scripts that I have made.
I personally haven't seen any performance benefits. Anyway as I think about it the sdcard way is more preferably for me since I would never use one with a lesser class than 6.
@ungaze: Only the default themes (System, Androidian and Cyanbread) are in /system

May be pasting your desired theme to system/app and removing the current default will help. Then even after reboot default will be your drsired theme.

I don't think it will help me since the question is about T-Mobile Theme Manager settings. I don't know where these are saved but it is pretty obvious that there are not in the right place since everything defaults to the System theme.
Edit: I have managed to make Hot Reboot (Quick Boot Plus) work so now I have the themes working properly since I can restart only the UI.
I will stick to this for now.
one question :: is the phone really fast with data partition on sdcard's ext2 partition ??? anybody using it please give your inputs: Also How do i use this along with darktremor's a2sd ??? i just want data2sd not dlcache2ram
I haven't used ext2 partition but I can tell you about 3 and 4. Theoretically, performance wise ext2 should be as fast as ext4 the only major difference being that the latter is a journaled fs.
In practice you will not see too much difference between the 3 of them on this phone.
I have used mostly ext4 and I am happy with it. Once the phone boots it adds a little waiting time to actually be ready (5-10 secs for me).
For the second part, I don't think it's feasible to use both. Instead you can use the original script by pomka78 and disable darktremor's dalvik script from (a2sd nocache).

I'd tried app2sd with microSD Class 4 and now I can say that for scheme "[email protected], [email protected]" ext2 is faster than ext3, and ext4 is a waaay faster than ext3. This scheme is very useful and most of the time it is as fast, as "[email protected]" due to Dalvik cache is on nand. The scheme "(data&Dalvik)@Ext" with slow cards is almost useless because of the lags.
But of course it's better to use Class10

Ext2 is the fastest one because of no journalism.
Anyway this script works awesomely good. With a class 4 card my phone flies like it never did and I don't understand how anyone can say that it lags.

Yes I have rom without it.
I installed franciscofranco first, and everything was fine.
After it I flashed that script, android was starting for 5 minutes and after that it hanged up, I removed battery, started again and there were constant force closes of titanium backup, launcherpro and some android processes.
I tried to install only that Data2SD + Dalvik-cache2RAM script on fresh rom. It started, when it hanged on "preparing SD", after restart everything was fine, there was about 400 mb of free rom.
Interesting... Are those two scripts compatible?
if im using darktremors a2sd i need to reflash my rom? do everything from beggining?

_~~~ Avaritia HD ~~~__
...when a DESIRE grows inordinately strong it becomes AVARICE ...
I tested almost all Desire HD ROMs with data2sd (!).... and i didn't like any of those. The reason is that the data2sd solution is done in a bad "patchwork" way. The reason is this: A Desire HD rom needs about 350mb for the system partition (nand). But the Desire has only 250mb for system available. To make HD Rom work all the devs move system stuff to the SD. This is needed if you provide an app2sd ROM because app2sd still needs some space of the internal data partition. But this is different on a data2sd ROM. In that case you only need 1mb of the internal nand. All other ROMs STILL move system stuff to the sd for their data2sd version although there is much free space on the internal now. Thats why i decided to make my own ROM .... optimized for data2sd only. This way all the 350mb of system is installed to the nand. This way i make good use of all the free memory that you get on data2sd and thats why i wont provide an app2sd version of this ROM. Instead of making data2sd for a ROM i made a ROM for data2sd.
Apart from that i tried to improve data2sd in general and the included script has advantages you don't get on other Desire HD roms. Other HD Roms use a "loop" device for data2sd. I find that a bit risky and thats why i didnt make that default but provide this as an OPTIONAL addon. The life-of-the-edge mod is not more risky than other data2sd Roms .... the difference is that I tell you about the risk and give you to choice if you want to use it....
This ROM is still work in progress and i still won't provide a full feature list (but i think you won't miss a thing because all "usual" features are included). Instead i give you a feature list of features that won't find in any other data2sd HD-ROM.
Features: (that make this ROM unique - at least for some time )
- partition alignment with zips.
- optimized layout for data2sd (system apps on NAND)
- ReiserFS, btrfs, JFS support + recovery
- "deadline" scheduler instead of cfq/bfq which is better for a microSD
I'll add some explanations for the features in future.
Requirements:
-A second Partition in Ext2/3/4 format (same as for app2sd - min 512 but 1024 mb highly recommended max is 2048 mb)
-FULL WIPE (if you come from any other rom or a version before 0.6)
-Default nand partition layout (if you dont know what this means dont care about it .... youll have it then )
Apart from the ext2/3/4 partition this ROM also supports other filesystems (btrfs, Reiserfs, jfs). See 2nd post for "mods" to align, format you partion in the desired filesystem. And for recovery.
Download
Avaritia HD v0.7 alpha (ftp - thanks c0urier)
Avaritia HD v0.6 alpha (ftp - thanks c0urier)
Avaritia HD v0.5 alpha (ftp - thanks c0urier)
WARNING: btrfs is still experimental, jfs is made for IBM servers with battery backed hdds, and the developer of reiserfs killed his wife ... so be careful with those.
Additional info: EXT3 is recommended. Akso see /sdcard/Avaritia/ for the config file.

Changelog (newest)
v0.7
- reverted rebase - Base is now RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6
- Cgroup errors on bfs fixed (through rebase)
Note: HTC using cgroup to speed up interactivity on CFS is not the way forward when
a sheduler MADE for interactivity (BFS) - CFS + cgroups is intended for large servers
and not for a phone.
- Dpad to wake / volume keys works now and included (see mods to "unflash")
- Power Notification widget included as default (see mods to unflash)
- Add custom Wallpaper to the default skin
- Fixed bootanimation (2 frames were too bright + made it a bit slower)
- Bluelight "fun" on boot
- Updated apks
- Some tweaks (mostly adopted from ownhere - thx ownhere)
- Some fixes.
For a complete changelog see the attached full-changelog.txt file
Known Issues and Recommendations
-As for all data to sd solution you may have slowdowns in some situations like market downloads if you have a slow microSD. Any data2sd solution is about space in the first place. But compared to other data2sd ROMs this ROM is faster.
-If you use any other filesystem you need the custom recover from 2nd post.
-FAKE quadrant scores if you use "life-on-the-edge". This does not show the real performance. This skips data base synchronization. It improves the performance (but not as much as bench suggests) at the risk of data safety.
- 720p not working. (see here)

Check the thread. In short btrfs is a copy on write filesystem. And overwriting is the slowest operation for a microSD. Btrfs has some options to optimize the ssd devices. Especially slow cards profit from it (for good cards it may be worse). Apart from that it doesn't need journaling to be safe because of COW. This decreases the overhead on writes.
Overall data2sd feels smoother on btrfs than on ext4 (at least for a class 2 microSD). Check the thread for more info and note that BTRFS is a BETA FILESYSTEM.
I just gave you another post directly below your original one All you have to do is edit it and use it.
Nice to see you choose the right ROM
I'm following your progress of your btrfs work a time now, and played around with it, too. I flash it to my device, lets see how it is
Please make the same with the desireZ rom

Coutts99 recommended it and after i looked at it found it rather easy to check the structure. Not much symlinks etc. Very clean and AFAIK the ROM that is closest to stock. Still needed to adjust many things (zipalign etc).

The best way if you are not already on a linux based system, is to grab a livecd and use gparted. Normally I would recommend Ubuntu, but Ubuntu 10.10 LiveCD got problems with btrfs + gparted. So you could try fedora or opensuse e.g.
Of course you can also use the gparted live cd or usb version.
I never tried them, but should be the same:
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
With gparted format your sd card to FAT32 (first partion) and then 1024MB to btrfs (second partition).
Copy the ROM to your FAT32 partition and flash it through the recovery. I recommend AmonRAs latest recovery!
Don't forget to wipe before you flash! Don't worry if you get error messages when trying wiping the sd-ext, just ignore that.
Regards
I flashed the rom in btrfs mode. Installation without problems.
Its nice to see so much space on the phone.
The only thing is that the device really seems slower now.
Of course this is not your fault, you give us a great solution for more storage, but you can feel the difference.
I will let the phone do some caching and will use it a hole day tomorrow. (Navigation included). Lets see maybe things will settle down a little.
Maybe it could be improved with a optimized kernel.
I got a class 6 sd card by the way.

Pays, i normally use either UltimateLinux build for the meerkat or plain lynx. Are any of these distros have issue with btrfs too ?
Thanks
BL
I'll be testing this as soon as I can as I'm skeptical of Btrfs. Only way to check and test the actual Btrfs usability and performance with our device and ROMs is to use it with one. I'll try it with a class 2 SD first, then class 4 and 6 that I own. Thanks.
EDIT: Yeah, your "my data2btrfs" link talks about "advantages" where no. 1/2/4 are all speculation yet. There's no studies or widespread reliable, repeatable, and conclusive testing showing either. Basically, this is experimental.
EDIT2: Sorry can't help further. I bricked my device. Carry on.

The theory
ClassicalDude said:
Premise:
1. Performance degradation with HD roms (and regular ones as well) occur when essential parts of the device's operation are from the sd card, instead of working as much as possible from the internal memory.
2. Deodexed roms render a substantial part of the /system partition into a bloated archive, since no apk or jar file is actually used. Everything is odexed and copied into the dalvik-cache, which leads to -
3. The dalvik-cache of a deodexed rom is much larger than that of an odexed rom. So now we have large portions of the system partition that are not used, and a clogged data partition.
4. So we use a2sd, a2sd+, d2ext or d2we - and essentially, what we get is that almost nothing is being run from the internal memory. What a waste.

If this is true, only intensive testing will reveal. So lets give it a shot.
1st things 1st, you need to flash Bravo CM7 Hboot. either from fastboot or from hboot.- goto alpharev.nl site - is there together with all the info how to flash it
Rom Download link:
http://baadnewz.lcdc.sk/InsertCoinDATAplusplus/
Rom is the same as InsertCoin 2.0.0 A2SD+. But edited to fit to 130 nand, you'll need 1 gb ext2/3/4 partition.
P.S. framework folder lies under /system/sd/framework so you CANT flash zips directly from UOT, get the zip unpack it and push the framework-res.apk to /system/sd/framework
(you should know this if your a poweruser)
Free space after 1st boot

Applications and system framework files don't run from jar or apk files. They run from odex files within the Dalvik Cache. So placing the Dalvik Cache on the sd card causes performance degradation, and keeping these jar and apk files in the internal memory is a waste of space.
In this method, we try to keep in the internal memory only the files the phone actually uses during its runtime, and move to the sd card all the archive files that are not in use.
Quadrant tests will probably not reveal an improved performance. They don't test for what we have done. But the user experience is much, much better.

Many thanks!
This was my Idea after reading this (but bad english [writing])
Quadrant Scores are not very itresting.... User Experience counts more.... I take a look now ;-) Few minutes and i can give a little feedback ;-)

I am assuming this means the black out is over... This seems like an excellent direction to be heading, and the logic sounds sound! It is bed time on my side of the world, but I will definitely be testing this one out in the morning (or once i can slack off at work...)
For people who struggle with running commands, there is a windows app for flashing hboots/recoverys - fast boot commander which is a fairly easy way to proceed...

Just got a "not enough space" message while restoring my Apps from Market. Maybe to many downloads at once.

That's the one problem with a tiny cache partition. You cannot have too many market downloads at once, and you cannot flash a new radio with a zip file. I sent a message to the wonderful people at alpharev, asking for a new partition layout. If this type of rom gains traction, they will probably accommodate us.
Device booted very fast And market is working.
Very responsive.

Same Problem here! just wipe and reflash always solve bootlops on InsertCoin ROM´s ;-) perfect and best rom =)
Edit: ROM is so responsive and quick! So great!
IMPORTANT: If you updated your system to Android 4.1.2, *DO NOT* flash either _motley kernel, as they are built on 4.1.1 and contain the wrong interface to the power management chip. This will result in a bootloop at the least, and possibly much much worse
What we're doing, here, is turning your n7 into a multitasking muscle-machine, and giving it the I/O throughput to match. These instructions are for the stock ROM, but can be applied to any ROM with a little modification. Enjoy!
Do the OTA update to 4.1.1 (if you're stock and haven't, already), and then......
[KERNEL][GPL][Linaro][OC 1.6GHz][UV][GPU+][ZRAM][SIO+V(R)] 2012-08-10 motley 1.1.1
From that thread, you need:
a) the 1.1.1 kernel of your choice
b) the 1.0.5b kernel with ramdisk (if you're already running a custom ROM with init.d support, you don't need this, nor do you need to create /system/etc/init.d in a future step)
You'll also need:
a) root
b) cwm
c) busybox (absolute must, make sure your symlinks are proper)
d) some type of root-enabled text editor (I use root explorer)
e) a full featured cpu/sd management app (I use System Tuner)
BEYOND THIS POINT, THERE BE DRAGONS. I'm not responsible if you FUBAR your device, but if you follow my instructions to the letter, you won't
0.5) READ THIS ENTIRE POST BEFORE PROCEEDING
1) install cwm and root your tab (if you haven't already)
2) reboot into CWM, flash the 1.0.5b kernel with ramdisk (if you're on stock or a stock-based ROM without init.d support), then immediately flash the 1.1.1 kernel you chose (gpu overclocking is nice and all, but I haven't found a game that doesn't run perfectly with the stock GPU speed of 416MHz..Looks great on benchmarks, though)
3) reboot back into JB, fire up root explorer, remount /system rw, create a folder in /system/etc called init.d (permissions rwxr-xr-x), create a file in it called S90zRAMandSpeedTweaks (permissions rwxrwxrwx), and long-press to open it in a text editor
4) make it look like this:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#remount /data for faster i/o
mount -o remount,noauto_da_alloc /data /data
#disable fsync (controversial, I've been doing it for years with no real issues)
echo 0 > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled
#set zRAM size (recommended sizes are 64 and 128, as this compresses an actual block of RAM. Setting it higher will likely impede performance)
echo $((1024*1024*128)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
#use busybox to create and activate zram0, if busybox is not in /system/xbin, modify accordingly
/system/xbin/busybox mkswap /dev/block/zram0
/system/xbin/busybox swapon /dev/block/zram0
It's important to leave at least one trailing line in scripts. Just trust me, it's a linux thing.
*NOTE* The above script does NOT check to see if it was successful, but if you copied it directly and installed busybox to /system/xbin then it will work. Once you reboot in a few minutes, you can check by using the command "busybox free" from a terminal emulator or adb shell
5) Save the file, delete the .bak now in that folder, and close root explorer.
6) Open System Tuner, tap on the SD option, change cache to 1024 and scheduler to deadline
7) Tap the Voltage option and hit -25 4 times and save the settings as voltage_table_uv
8) Tap the CPU option and tap Boot Settings. For CPU and SD, set the method to init.d
9) Close System Tuner and reboot your device.
10 Profit/consume butter
It seems like a lot, but it really only takes about 15 minutes if you're a complete rooting n00b, and the end result is a buttery-smooth multitasking powerhouse (that blows iOS *away*). The 100mV undervolt also greatly extends battery life. I haven't had ANY issues at -100mV, but if you do, just increase it by hitting +25 on the voltage tab of System Tuner until you have something that works for you (in fact, you might want to start at -25mV and slowly grow it to -100mV, playing games and checking for instablity along the way)
It's also worth mentioning that if you're currently completely stock, you will need to unlock your bootloader to root and install CWM, and unlocking the bootloader wipes your device (no way around it, unfortunately. Hook your N7 up to your computer and backup the entire contents of /storage/sdcard0 to make restoring your data as painless as possible)
farmerbb's scripts - If you're having trouble getting your scripts to stick, or just don't want to be assed with installing System Tuner, use these! There are three different packages, for 64MB, 128MB, and 256MB zRam setups. Thanks, farmerbb!!
------- Revisions as of 9/1/12 -------
Fixed first line of script so it will actually run
Fixed zRam settings, as zRam is a block of actual RAM, not written to storage
Removed JRummy busybox installer as recommended. Use whichever you like, just make sure your symlinks are good
Awesome guide. Can't wait to try this out!
Thanks for the share..
Sounds good, will try this out tomorrow.

Did you run the busybox installer you downloaded from the play store and have it install busybox to /system/xbin?
From terminal emulator, type
busybox which busybox
If it says anything other than /system/xbin/busybox you'll need to modify the script accordingly
Sometime in the next couple days, I'm going to make a cwm-flashable zip that does everything.. I just need to read up on how

Mind didn't work until I ran the script via Script Manager. Download the app, find that zRAM script file you created in the init.d folder, select it, choose script, press the SU & boot icon up top and press Run. You'll see it run in command and say zRAM successful. Press Back and then save it.
For some reason, System Tuner doesn't seem to want to play nice with this script - at least for me.

Long story short, this is a Stock Toshiba ROM rom with a ton of tweaks applied. Yes I know, it's Froyo, but this rom is a good performer, can do almost everything and has the following plus points:
- All is in working condition, including SCO over bluetooth, IR Remote, Hardware Keys and so on
- Almost no SOD. I struggled a lot to achieve this result, but now I can say that this rom is behaving like any other Tegra tablet on the market. SODs are very rare here and the device sleeps like a child.... (As a side effect, you have to push the power button two or three times to make the device wake up)
- Easter Egg: Selecting Backup from the Privacy menu in Settings, the rom will reboot to recovery....
Feedbacks are welcome.
DISCLAIMER: This ROM comes with NO warranty. If you brick your device, don't blame me, I'm only experimenting with my phone and sharing the results with you, mates!
The widgets in the screenshots are SiMi Clock (clock & weather) and Android Pro Widgets (with modern ICS theme). They are NOT included in this ROM but they are available through the Google Play Store
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
- BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP your actual rom and your data before installing anything!!!!!!
- I assume you have CWM recovery installed on your tablet. If not, flash the CWM 3.0.28 recovery before installing this rom and format all the partitions if you are coming from CM10/JB roms
- Copy the file you have downloaded "as is" (don't try to extract the files contained in the .zip archive!) in the root directory of your SD Card.
- Boot in CWM, select "Install zip from SD Card", then choose the .zip archive you have previously copied and wait until the process ends.
- Reboot your device and enjoy your new rom.
- This rom installs CWM 3.0.28

P.S. This rom WIPES your SYSTEM, DATA and CACHE PARTITIONS!!!
KNOWN ISSUES:
-None so far. Sometimes some SD card make the system hang on boot, so remember to extract your SD card on reboot! (you can put it back in when the boot is finished...)

CM10 is not directly comparable: some people need a fully working rom (IR remote, SCO audio over bluetooth, etc.)
So, this rom is aimed to solve some problem for some kind of people.
On the "faster" point: are you sure?
You are comparing a 1.4 Ghz kernel with a stock 1.0 Ghz one, it's unfair.
This rom wins hands down in all speed tests only due to the OC kernel....but it is faster!

All true, indeed, but nothing more besides what you can argue by reading the OP, huh?
Negative:

1. Yeah, that's declared in the OP
2. YouTube has now the same inteface among Android releases....Try the included app!
3. A simple keyboard with cursor keys helps a lot here. I personally use Smart Keyboard Pro, but there is a wide choice on the Store
4. Elaborate, please....With j4velin Notification Toggle and Button Savior you have the same functionality of an ICS/JB/CM9/CM10 status bar....Try it, you'll be amazed!
5. HD Videos are working flawlessly (with the tegra 2 platform limitations, i.e. 1920x1080 only main [email protected] level HW decoding)
6. SOD what?
You could help improving CM10 on Folio 100, like adding new stuff and fixing minnor issues.:good:

All the roms I have built here on XDA are based on stock stable releases (or rock solid CM final releases) to grant users the maximum available compatibility and ease of use without bugs. This is not a rom for pioneers, it's a rom for people needing a solid performer. CM10 is now in experimental alpha stage (although I'd define it an advanced beta stage thanks to the great developers that are involved into the Folio100 CM10 project) but this is another story...

Hello,
I didn't tested ths ROM, but here is couple of things:
Positive:
1. Good performance
2. Battery life.
3. Flash player.
4. Added some useful functions.
Negative:
1. Android 2.2.
2. Hard to use some apps.(YouTube,Gmail etc.)
3. Text selection, copy&paste.
4. Status bar low functionality.
5. HD videos?(Don't remember)
6. SD card SOD.
You could help improving CM10 on Folio 100, like adding new stuff and fixing minnor issues.:good:
Still, good work!

Yes, Topogigi can you not help DerArtem with the CM10 rom? Maybee you can add cornerstone on your rom and on the CM10 rom. This is a thing that a lot of peoples will see on our folio.
I agree, but all this useful info should be included in OP because:
1. Its based on FolioMod and you must write what new is incuded and fixed after that many years.
2. Android 2.2 is already fast on its own, increasing speed and adding tweaks is minnor.
3. Added apps didn't amazed me.
4. I'll test it for sure.
5. Include something "new" to your ROM, because it same FolioMod 1.4 just added nice effects.
I will post full feedback & continue your ROM.

1) This rom id not based on Foliomod, it's based on last Toshiba official release. Foliomod 1.4 has only the libraries from it.
2) Network Location does not work on FolioMod 1.4 (guess what? here it works....)
3) Initial Setup Wizard hangs on Foliomod 1.4, and it asks you to slide a keyboard out (our device has no physical keyboard) and here it works flawlessly
4) Google Play Services do not install on Foliomod 1.4 (mismatched signature of googleservicesframework.apk) and here it installs properly
5) You can't reboot to recovery in Foliomod 1.4 and here you can
6) No loop mount points here, while foliomod mounts the databases on a loop mount point for faster db access... but, guess what? In this rom you get the same database access speed without the risk of getting data losses if the device hangs unexpectedly
7) No CPU Spy support on Foliomod 1.4. This is the first Folio rom with CPU Spy support
8) No CIFS Support on Foliomod 1.4 while here you get CIFS and UTF-8 support
9) No TUN/TAP..............etc. etc.
10) No OC/UV...............etc. etc.
11) No enhanced deadline scheduler.................................etc. etc.
12) On Foliomod you have frequent unwanted screen wakeups while on this rom..............etc. etc.
13) On Foliomod you experiment network issues after wakeup while on this rom......etc. etc.
14) On Foliomod you experiment frequent SODs while....................etc. etc.
I can continue for a while on but frankly I am bored because ALL these infos are on the OP if someone takes care of reading it completely.
I called this rom Foliomod because I do respect all the efforts Dexter made for making this device a functional device. This does not mean I copied his rom only making it more attractive. You got the point now?
Regarding speed, I do not want to resemble Monsieue De La Palisse stating that a 1.4 Ghz Froyo rom is 1.4 times faster than a 1.0 Ghz Froyo rom, but you forced me to put that in evidence.
All added apps are in /data. If you don't like them, you can uninstall them with a few touches.
That's all, I'll answer other question if you will be so kind to test the rom for real. I put in it some weeks of hard work to reverse engineere, debug, code, patch and so on: testing it will cost you less than 1/2 hour, so.....

DerArtem and Nopy are very skilled developers, trust me. If they eventually will need help on a specific issue/bug/problem, I'll cooperate for sure. But I'm developing roms for 4 different devices ATM, and I have little if not less spare time to dedicate to another project. I'll actively support this rom for sure and I'll take care of feedbacks and suggestions. But this will cost me time and time is the real richness nowadays....
This is an excellent work Topogigi. Thank you for the time you spent there.:good:
I was convinced we could improve the stock rom but could not myself, especially lack of time and knowledge. I am glad that you have done.
(I speak here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655050&page=2)
I installed your rom from the alpha 4 CM10 with CWM 3.0.2.8, formatting partitions and flash file formatsd of DerArtem, but it did not work and I had no access to the SD card internally. I also lost access to recovery, I flashed using fastboot.
So I installed CM7 to unlock the internal sd (erase sd card in settings) and reinstalled TG FolioMod.
(To unlock the internal sd is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639690)
Improvements are superb with lots of good ideas. For the moment, I have not encountered any problems and the rom is very smooth, continuous testing and I installed some games well greedy and I joined your rom to work on our little Foliowiki.
Congratulations and sorry for my English.
Thank you for all the information and explanations. Will keep this ROM in mind.
Hi,
my ext sd card is not working
there are known problems?
how I could get them back to work?

No known issue about external SD, besides the caveat contained in the OP
Try this way:
1) copy all the contents of the SD card on a PC
2) format it with FAT option
3) Put the SD card back into the Folio and check if it's correctly recognized
4a) If the SD card is recognized, restore all the content from the PC
4b) If the SD card is not recognized, please try with another: if the new one is not recognized you have a faulty SD card slot on your Folio.
Please report if the above solution solves your problem.

Thank you very much for your positive feedback and your detailed instructions. I will try to make Huawei dongles work in my next release, alongside with NTFS r/w capabilities....
Thanks a lot for your rom, i will try it.
Back story:
I bought a Moto X during the $100 off promotion and while I was waiting for it to be delivered, I read reviews and poked around online for interesting things about the phone. As an 8GB Nexus 7 owner, the one thing that caught my eye the most was this section of the Anandtech review discussing internal storage performance. Considering how badly my N7's storage performance degraded and how unbearably slow it has become, I felt like it could make good use of this "flash friendly file system." Some Googling revealed that the F2FS driver was developed by Samsung and actually contributed to the official kernel, where it was implemented somewhere around 3.8. I've done some development for an HTC phone in the past, but never for the Nexus 7, so I went and researched the kernel. Because Google's Tegra 3 kernel is based on 3.1, I had to start working on backporting the driver, when I discovered this repository of backports for F2FS. It provides patches for 3.0 and 3.2, but not for 3.1, so I manually applied appropriate changes from each. When I flashed the kernel and booted, it seemed to work, so I went ahead and injected the kernel into the latest TWRP image as well. I also modified the fstab for both the recovery and ROM and compiled Cyanogenmod's f2fs-tools for Android and statically linked them before injecting them into TWRP as well. I then booted into recovery, formatted /data (TWRP knew to use mkfs.f2fs), and booted back into Android. Success, it worked! I've been using my Nexus 7 like this since Friday evening and it's been so much more usable. Not perfectly "like-new" smooth, but it doesn't hang as often or as long.
I haven't seen anyone actually try this yet so I'm hoping my effort will be able to make a difference for N7 owners fed up with slow performance. Switching to f2fs is as easy as flashing a modified kernel and recovery, then doing a factory reset. Also, any interested developer is more than welcome to use anything I post here.
Basically, I took the official Tegra 3 kernel and did this:
KERNEL PATCH
Then modified the stock ROM's fstab like this:
FSTAB
Then I gave TWRP statically-linked f2fs-tools binaries:
F2FS-TOOLS
Then I reformatted /data and away it went:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm going to reboot into Linux and attach my boot/TWRP images for you guys to test out. Until then, I'd love to have some feedback.
What do you think about using f2fs on the Nexus 7?
Is it worth it?
What kind of impact on performance or battery life do you think this will have?
Did I do something seriously wrong with my kernel/fstab?
Am I absolutely insane and dangerous to everyone's Nexus 7 tablets and their puppies?

Reboot
Done!
Note that these are for the latest official 4.4.2 build KOT49H.
Let me know how your performance and battery life change after applying this. Storage performance should noticeably increase and battery life change should be negligible.
Excellent, hope you'll get around and do it for rest of the Nexus line too (greetings from Reddit). :]
This actually looks pretty interesting. Do you have any benchmark result?
I hope some of the kernel devs around here will pick up your idea.
The kernel devs can integrate the kernel patch and the fstab patch to some extent but definitely not the recovery patch. I'm going to try this tomorrow or the day after.
Great work.
Excellent idea - I'm highly interested in the results. My 2012 N7 is starting to look quite pokey alongside my N5, so if this provides an improvement I'm all over it.

Unless I get distracted, the plan is to do this for the Nexus 4. My goal is to expose this sort of thing to existing developers and let them handle the logistics. I've always been terrible about sticking to a project.

Not yet. This is what I had to sat about benchmarks in the Reddit thread:

The only problem is that the Nexus 7 performs at its worst after the media has been used for a while and filled with data. I'm hoping others will provide their experiences under these conditions, but if need be, I'll do some benchmarks of my own when I have time.

This is exactly what I hoped for when I posted this. Kernel developers can merge this patch and if it gains enough attention, perhaps conventions could be established around specifying which filesystem a kernel/recovery is designed for. Built-from-source recoveries with F2FS support would be nice as well.

The patch applied cleanly (the second time I've ever seen a patch do that). Good job.
I'll compile and flash to see if it boots (there are issues with my kernels) and if all goes well I'll switch completely to F2FS.

Well it booted on one ROM that has no issues with SELinux and the other didn't boot although the same config without F2FS boots fine. Strange.

At first when I tried this I wasn't expecting this great deal of performance just by a file system change but boy was I wrong
The benchmark aren't higher but the the system performance is quite noticeable when using
This combines with FSync Off and nexus 7 will be flying
f2fs implementation on the note2 and s3 on all partitions: kernel & recovery and a compatible rom for the s3...perhaps you might get some help from those devs. using it on my s3 and the performance has been great. not entirely sold on benchmarks but on ext4 i was getting 14-15k on antutu. w/ f2fs on the same cpu/gpu speeds, i'm getting 18-19k. HTH
would really like to see this implementation on our beloved n7

Using it on all partitions is very trivial and doesn't need any more kernel modifications. I just limited it to /data/ because that's what Motorola did and it seems to work very well for them. I also didn't know whether or not it would cause any problems in the long run.

Bro benchmarks show no real world performance only the raw power of the device.

Do you mind sharing your results.. perhaps with a youtube video? I'm highly interested in trying _anything_ that might speed up my 2012 Nexus 7.
TWRP 2.7 has released. Any chance we could get a F2FS modified version of it please? Version 2.6.3.1 isn't working on my Nexus 7 and I downloaded it twice now. Just stays at the splash screen forever.
Next logical step is formatting system in F2FS format and see if its worth it.

Still planning to release this for nexus 4?
Can fstab be copied from a ROM that is already using f2fs to a rom that is not using f2fs? Or is this something that needs to be coded properly and built normally on a linux machine?
I just want to have /data formatted to f2fs (maybe even /cache). My /data partition is already f2fs, but the ROM I want does not support it, so I am sure it would not boot until I can modify fstab.

fstab is part of the ramdisk in the boot.img. You would need the fstab file and a f2fs supported kernel for it to work with the other rom. Have you tried just flashing the boot.img-f2fs from OP?

Um no I haven't. I did try and use osmosis's kitchen and I swaped the fstab for the correct one. I was going to just edit it with my favorite notepad program but decided I wasn't sure I'd get it right.
It did not work. Not sure why.
