getting read to just swich to one of the hero roms at this point but figured before i do i'll see if any of these can be fixed.
This all started right shortly after the 1.51 update
First of all, I've wipped the phone and reinstalled twice now and left the battery out and did formats and tried new SD cards and all that and these are the problems i'm having.
-Camera will not save once finished. It takes the picture but it never saves to the SD card.
-Screen randomly changes orientation by itself when the phone is not moving at all. on a table
-Lots of random crashes
-and the worst. Certain apps will only download 50% of the file size when i download them making them never work, If this happens it's impossible to ever download it. Even after wiping and reloading the phone the same thing happened again. It also happens in updates as well. Killed mybackup pro and i had to go download it off rapidshare because i needed to make backups and the market download would never download properly.
So basically, is there any way to fix all these problems or am i better off just going through everything and flashing to a new rom now.
very strange, never had problems on JF1.5 or 1.51. Have you tried flashing JF1.5? If that's still causing problems I'd try Cyanogens build. Sorry I can't help much, but you've already tried everything I would have suggested
yeah i've posted on a few forums and did everything there. then figured i might as well post here as a last resort.
I did try going back to 1.5 and things worked fine, then went to 1.51 again and everything happened again. I'd like to be running the latest release of any custom rom, and hero looks awesome so i'm thinking that if i can't fix this i'll just go through everything to upgrade to hero
There are no major changes from my JFv1.50 release, except a few new kernel modules.

Hardly anything to update for, but whatever, have fun with hero Don't flash the SPL without the Radio (seems obvious but loads of people are spamming looking for a nonexistent solution to unbrick :< )
yeah i guess. Just me being myself wanting the lastest things. And don't worry i won't do that. been reading all about it for the last few days after i decided to give up on jfs 1.51
thanks!

The Hero build certainly looks nice, but it might take you a while to get used to the slight slowness compared to the non-Rosie builds. Still... very pretty, keeps me mesmerized while I wait for my stuff to load... j/k
I've been using aHome for 5 months, i'm used to lag. lol.
nothing prepares you for Hero lag!!! just kidding, with linux-swap or compcache, its pretty snappy, but not comparable to non-hero builds.
well i'll find out soon enough. If it ends up being really bad then i may just go to some other ROM but i'm really hoping to have hero run good. Unfortountly i just have a normal Micro SD 2GB which has no class distinction so hopefully it'll be alright. If not i may have to go get another 8GB.
When i tried to format the last 8GB to get apps2sd working one program destroyed the card. shows up as 8MB now instead of GB. lol.
use cyns rom. most fastes freshes bestes cupcake ever. even tastes better. and his recovery also.

I too noticed alot of lagging in jf1.51 after moving all apps to sd so I took off Ahome and openhome and it runs alot better. I also need to get a class 6 sd card which will help speed things up. currious...does anyone know if there are limitations on the size of the sd card for G1? I looked on HTC's site and T-mobile's as well it just says micro sd 2.0.
didn't know that. guess i'm gonna have to grab that and try to fix my 8GB
and i thought that the G1 was capped at 8GB but i've seen people say they have 16GB cards so i guess you can go up to 16gb. which i think is the largest they make in micro sd

Like the title says, is it possible to dual boot Phoenix 2 and valkyrie firestorm 6. For example, a computer can dual boot two OS's, in which during boot-up, you can pick the OS (this case ROM) in the bios (or in this case the RUU, I don't know).
I haven't heard this in any threads/ROM threads, but I researched through google and found that you can format and partition a MicroSD Card into two FAT32 partitions (I'm not sure though), enabling two ROMs to coexist. I would not know how this would work though, because there is no 'bios' to choose eirther ROM at startup.
I'm kind of doubting dual boot options on the xperia x1, but I need some kind of clarification; it would be great to dual boot these two ROM's, but I can not find a official way how to.
I know this is a little early to ask, but if this thread gets popular, can some developer cook up something to enable this option?
No, this is not possible.
Just no? There must be a good reason why; could you go into some general explaining, like why it can't be done? No offense to any developers, but is it really that hard to make something that can enable this?
Yes, this is not possible.
I as well would like to know the reason
Oh come on, give us one good reason why it can't be done.

1)this is not a computer
2)you can't just place two different roms on a memory card and flash!
3)there just isn't enough space on the xperia!, its not a hard drive we can change!

oh 4) running a rom of a memory card is just stupid, it would be god awfully slow
5) no bootloader supports loading off a SD card
6) android barely runs off a SD anyway, what do u expect from windows mobile?
Good answer, that's what I wanted to hear. I hope in 10 years or so SD cards can develop with better access speed, better size, bla bla bla so this is possible.

Dude.. from all the reasons Jonny4911 mentioned why it can't be done, you only picked up "too slow to work from SD"? (also how would you flash to the SD in the first place and be able to boot up from the SD...) any of the other 4-5 reasons is one reason enough, it can't be done!..

Ive had this downloaded for a while and expect if no one has it ported by the time I get my phone and my first build tested I'll give it a go. I'm expecting however because it's designed for a higher resolution that while I can get it to boot the resolution is going to cause framework issues.
I'll keep you guys posted.

Couple roadblocks in the way.. the build is designed for the snapdragon cpu. I've not been successfull in the past at getting them going 100% (sorry I didn't realize this when I said I'd be able to do it) and I've been working on my build all day..
I don't tend to give up on things though so I'll come back around to it in a bit.

Yes, you would need an ext2 parition on your sd, and a custom install script to set it all up.

That would be awesome. A lot of times theres no specs on the speed of cards out there and your not really sure of what you are buying. It would be awesome.
excellent idea for an app. there are cards out there that do not list there class and cards that are listed as class 2 yet reach class 6 speeds.

If you guys would give me a good algorithim to test read/write speeds I can work on it later tonight. It will probably take a few days a best.
But My idea is write a 2 meg file to the SD card, time it. Read the same file from the card, time it. Do a little math...present some numbers...
Now there are a lot of issues that could come into play with that method. Maybe repeat it 3 or 4 times just to see an average, but still its not the best that it could be.
What about just getting a microsd adapter or even mounting it to the computer. And then run a program that tests read/write speeds and use it on the card. like h2testw or something :/

1. On the phone is just cooler
2. On another thread about this topic there was debate about how accurate it would be to use an adapter or mounting as a drive. Adding cable seems to me like it could increase latency and you are no longer using the phones OS to test its internal stuff. ( i know its USB its faster than the card anyways, but see #1)

You can start from there then trial and error. I was thinking you can take a look at any of the web SpeedTests in the market and learn something from there.
If you are on linux you can mount the phone and run
Code:
hdparm -tT /dev/sdd
where sdd is the phones drive(could be different on your machine)
That will give you a read speed but would would be limited by your USB read speed.
Hdparm is not built into android so you can't run it from the phone. There is one command that is built in that can measure speeds... However it is VERY VERY VERY dangerous so I hesitate to post it here but... dd
For the love of God do not mess with dd unless you read up on it and fully understand it. You could very easily measure write speed as well as read with dd but you would need an empty card because you would have to just blindly write to the blocks on the card. Doing which will at the bare minimum if you know what you are doing overwrite stuff on the card. Worst case is you mess up your partition table and have to re-partition. So I will only point you in the direction of dd and not post any code on how to use it for fear of some idiot entering the code and wiping their phone(although they would have to know how to use adb shell so they wouldn't be complete idiots)
This would be a useful app. I have a class 6 PNY SD and want to know how fast it really is.
Wow, what an AMAZING idea for an app. I would be more than happy to help and test!!!
Sooo
I am working on this guys.
I have gotten the program writing a file out to the SDcard. It just a randomly filled Byte Array being parsed to a file on the SDcard a few times, then reading it back off (Haven't got the reading part yet). I am running into some FC issues and also getting the timer to work is being a PITA. Android doesn't like my threads for some reason.
If I have time this week maybe I can get it done - or at least working, but I have some stuff going on that may slow down progress.
EDIT:
Also if anyone that is not quite so Artisticly Challenged as I am wants to get me some drawables. I can use an Icon and a 320x480 image back ground (Let's try to keep it simple , I have seen some of your boot screens. lol)
Bump for moral support!
couldn't you just pop it into an adapter, and use HD Tune on your pc? http://www.hdtune.com/
I think the concept of the app request is so people don't have to turn off theory beloved heroes and pull battery just to get to the SD card, babe.

Well, it reads and writes a 6 meg file while spinning a wait cursor LOL.
Been working on final projects the past few weeks.
Might have something out 2 week of june.
As it stands now:
1)Need to setup a time mechanism - probably most acurate to grab a time stamp before the start and after the finish. Threads tend to get time messed up.
2)After the file is written and the time is figured out. Need to display the read/write results.
3)Then need to cleanup the file and ram after everything is done.
Also, I have seen the file only become half of the size it should be (3 mb)....which I think has something to do with UTF (Chars taking up 2 bytes)....but I am not sure yet.
And on top of that...who the hell knows if its accurate LOL.
But it's been interesting and fun.
haha, well thats good. keeps you interested then. i honestly dont kknow anything about programming and what not, so i cant help you there. buuuutttt when you finish and need testers i can help. well try anyways

I am really interested to see if it's even remotly accurate.
Seems like creating a 6 meg file and writing it out from memory to the card would surely test well... But there are a crap ton of things that could come into play and effect it.
I guess we'll only know if we try.
unless my phone explodes, i see nothing wrong with trying it out.
Well yesterday I finally got CM7 With Tablet Tweaks replacing NookieFroyo and Im happier than a Pig in Poo. Everything I do just seems better and especially having the taskbar on the bottom with the soft buttons on the bar. GENIUS! (My Boss just called and said were not going to work today.

I'm running CM7 (Tablet tweaks was merged to CM7 not long ago) on Emmc along with 1.2 on the dual-boot partition. I think it's the best of both worlds. The only real negative being that it's a little more complicated to update the dual boot partition ROM. You need a modified .zip for the dual boot partition so you don't end up overwriting your primary boot by accident. By putting the stock 1.2 on the dual boot partition, I am now able to flash any ROM update when I feel like it without hunting for a modified dual boot .zip. I would recommend this setup.
As for instructions, look in the development section for the dual boot thread. The original post should be what you're looking for.
Thanks, but why do you want to dual-boot? Is there something not working or missing in the CM7 version that you need to have the other for?
Also, does Bluetooth work these days? I've read here where its only good for 6", or so, which is useless, but that it works for 30' for tethering. I want to use BT headphones. This is an important part of my decision to either stay with the Nook or trade up to something like the new Samsungs coming out.
Personally, I'd like to try the painful process of unrooting, loading 1.2, re-rooting, and loading CM7 into the emmc - not as a dual partition, though. And then put all my stuff back on. I'm looking for good directions on that, but it's tough to find, or at least it was last I looked. I was thinking of waiting for an autonooter to show up, but it's taking longer than I htought it would. The manual way looks iffy to me. Lots of variables.
Thanks again!
