Hey guys.
Using cromi 5.1
Just got a fast top of the line SD card. One if my friends said you can put the end right on the fast SD card to fix the i/o issue and speed this baby up.
Please help. Can't find how to do this.

You got a lot of reading to do.
Go to the development section and read the threads for data2sd and rom2sd, and there's also an option of cache2sd.
The rom2sd method has nothing to do with speeding up the device. It's a way to run a dual boot system where one rom runs off the sd card if inserted. So far it actually runs a tad slower than the same rom installed to internal - at least on Quadrant if you put stock into scores...
And in my opinion the other two do not do much to improve on CROMi-X 5.x. Have you tried running your rom with Hund's kernel and LMK's Extreme Tweaks?
I have the feeling, you haven't been following the CROMi-X thread, have you? Otherwise you wouldn't be asking here... These topics are being discussed there extensively in last few months....
Thanks
I did read, and I did figure it out.
Despite the quadrant scores which are meaningless, it did help the i/o issue tremendously and skilled up the tab to the point I took it off eBay. Of course it only works with a top of the line SD card.

So I used universal Androit. Didnt even get the chance to put anything on it yet and my 8gb sandisk card was just ruined.Kept saying format but couldnt be read.
Is it the Universal Androit root or is it just luck of the draw? I would like to root my Nexus one but not at the risk of my 16gb card I just got.
Any tips or anything?
Everybodies looking at the thread and no tips....not even a it wasnt because of the rooting??
check you inbox for some tips...

The chances are it wasn't because of the app so is probably due to the card itself. Do you get errors whilst trying format it using a card reader?

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

not sure if you got my pm but we need ext4 before data2ext will work properly. I spoke with Decad3nce about it briefly and he said he's worked on a little. i think everyone's just busy with finals lately

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...
Just got this thing and have been reading but just want a definitive answer to 2 questions.
1: SDCard slot does not work yet?
2: I have the WiFi Xoom, so I can't get data if I put a SIM Card in the SIM slot?
Thanks.
1) Not on the stock Xoom. If you root and install a custom kernel (see development section) you will have access to external SD card.
2) No

Like he told you, the stock 3.0.1 Android, does not support SD neither the 3.1. But whit a "rooted" SO u can do it.
If you need the update and some guide, i can help u. Or if you want to search in the forums its ok.
See ya!
if you go over to the development forums it will tell you how to root and install a kernel that will allow you to use your sd card. Imo it is worth it, and not that hard to do.
As far as the 3g data it would be a pretty labor intensive job, but I think some people are looking at how to do it.

OK I've flashed a few kernels trying to find 1 I like. never had a problem. few none ago I try a new one (Tristan) and it apparently it didn't work cause the previous lordmod one is still in place. BUT all the info, data music, apps and photos on my SD card are/is gone. just poof, vanished. Wtf is that all about. needless to say I'm quite pissed cause all photos of my kids are gone.
any ideas on Wtf could have happened? I cleared dalvik cache as always.

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.
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
