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
can't wait for this

I guess I will download Ubuntu and try to open .SO files so we can see the code that the script is trying to write to our SDcards. Maybe by entering through adb we can see what may be failing? Kinda thought this thread would have picked up a dev or 2 Its a pretty hot topic on all the other phones forum, original dev made front page of XDA

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.

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...
Do we get to use the full 16 GB storage as user memory?? I am a bit doubtful about it because even though Galaxy S have 16 GB advertised memory, user get to use around 13 GB only.. Others are reserved for system.. If thats the case in One S then its gonna be sad (no Sd card support, even less memory)..Atleast SGS have SD card support. So One S users please let me know if thats the case or not...
no definitely not. if they advertise it as 16gb they actually want to say there is 16gb in it and we can use what the don't reserve for the os (~1gb i'd suspect). they said (in some early preview from mwc) that ~14.x (or something like that) will be accessable by the user. but yeah ... 14.8, 16. not really a big difference is there?!

Hi All,
Its goood to be here !!
I have just ordered a HTC One s (Ville) international/UK black beauty and am already quite excited and overwelmed to see the kind of dev support this device gets, which is one of important deciding factor for me , over One XL. It will be few days before I'd get the device in my hands, but as a sucker for flashing custom roms/kernels that I'm, already read quite a few posts on this forum.
Now, to the important topic. I'm currentyl using Samsung Galaxy S2 and it has quite a few kernel options that have capability of Dual-boot i.e. You can have two different roms at the same time and u get to choose at boot time which one to boot. This is quite handy feature as it allowed me to have a stable rom and an experimental/aosp/cm9 rom as secondary rom which helped me in testing it for devs.(Siyah, Dorimanx etc are few those kernels)
I was wondering if its possible to HTC Ville too ? I don't find any thread discussing about this, so I don't know whether its something not thought about earlier or its something thats impossible for HTC device. I'm new to HTC devices so I can't say much about it. If we could have Dual boot rom then we can have best of both worlds- One stable Sense rom and other AOSP/Cm9/cm10/MIUI rom.
In case its something obivious and I wasted someone's time on this, i'm sorry!!! But definately something to thought about and work on if there's a possibility of that.
Moved To Q&A
Please post all questions in the Q&A section
Anybody ??
I'd also love the ability to duel boot, but I don't know if it will be possible on the One S.

Nice to know , but we don't have an external SD ..
Dual boot kernel not possible
I have done some research on this and talked to some devs active in sgs2 forum. And its a BAD NEWS for us as we cannot have a dual boot kernel without external SD card support.
The main reason is for any dual boot kernel or application, it first need to create a new partition in the storage and swap space. Till now devs have only implemented this capability in external SD.
maybe when we will have S-OFF developers will be able to repartition the sd-card and then make room for more partitions and more space for data

I don't know when this started, but I now can't make backups in CWM. It's on my SGS II Skyrocket running CM 9.1 (stable, I think) and CWM v6.0.1.0. It frees up space at first for a few minutes, it seems to start backing stuff up, it gets to "backing up data" where it sits for a few minutes and then it says "Error while making a backup image of /data!

Is your CWM the official one installed through ROM Manager? And are you sure that CWM 6.0.1.0 is a stable recovery and free of errors?
From the link, it seems CWM recovery meant for Galaxy SII Skyrocket (AT&T version) is 5.0.2.6 (Non-Touch) and 5.8.1.5 (Touch)
Anyways I can't give you the exact solution as its more of a device specific question, so if its in Galaxy SII Q&A section, maybe you get more feedbacks.

Yeah it's the official one, but I flashed it through Rom Manager just now, so now it's on 6.0.1.4. I'll try backing up again, but I doubt it will work. It's been doing this for a while now.

I guess, you are installing recovery meant for "Skyrocket" only. Because, according to Clockworkmod website, recovery meant for Galaxy SII Normal and Galaxy SII Skyrocket (AT&T) are different.

First you might want to try the forums for your actual device in their q&a section here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1401
Your phone is actually nothing like the i9100 International SGS2 or i777 ATT SGS2 since it has completely different hardware. At least for these two I mentioned above you do NOT want to use ROM manager to try and flash cwm. I have seen people in the i777 forum wrench their phones using it. I do not know for sure about your i727 skyrocket though. As why it would be for you to ask questions in YOUR phones forum.

Have u tried TWRP?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
First thing to do is fix permissions in ROM Manager, then give it another go. If that doesn't work, try TWRP 2.3.1.1 (http://goo.gl/p6jNW). I've never had issues with backup/restore in CWM, but I have found that TWRP does a faster and better job. Only caveat is that executing backup from ROM Manager isn't seamless like it is with CWM, it loads TWRP but doesn't kickoff the backup, you'll have to do it manually from there.
(I cannot be held responsible if the aforementioned damages your device; do the research and own the process.)

It's all very confusing, but the Attorney Generals Office enacted "940 CMR 16.00" in January of 1998 which regulates the sale of handguns based upon their safety features. Armorers are required to submit platforms to the AG's office for analysis, though I have found many don't even bother. It seems as though they may be fed up with the potentially crooked and bureaucratic process.
In Massachusetts, for a firearm to be legal for transfer, it must comply with the 1998 "Massachusetts Gun Control Act" and be on the AG's "Approved Firearms Roster".
In October of 1998, The AG's office had issues with the Gen3 Glock's safety and load indicator functions, and left it off of the "Approved Firearms Roster". Subsequently most dealers, for fear of scrutiny and loss of their FFL, do not sell Glock manufactured after this date. All that said, Gen4 Glocks are on the Approved Firearms Roster and comply with the 1998 Massachusetts Gun Control Act, so I should be able to get one. Note the use of "should". I live in the birthplace of the Democratic Republic, but I currently reside in the bastion of belabored legislation.

It is in fact Read Only Memory..
When you buy a phone, your /system partition is Read-Only.. When you root your phone, you can change it to R/W..
Custom ROMs are custom User built Read Only Memories which mostly come with root..
