Hello, I would like to know what steps that I can take to increase the performance of android on my vogue. I am using myn's warm donut rom, with the system installed on the nand and the data installed on my ext2 partition on my sd card. I have heard that Its a good ideal to enable swapping, but I do not know how to enable it. I already have my 8GB class 6 sd card partitioned with one fat partition, one 256MB ext2 partition, and one 1GB ext2 partition (for Data). If anyone has any suggestions or tips, please let me know. Thanks!
PS: is there a way to overclock my vogue while using android? I have tried using the clock.sh file from mssmison's legendary build, but that didn't work.
EDIT: Can i use an ext3 or ext4 instead of ext2 for the partitions on the sd card?
Soon there will be an app for overclocking. Myn is currently working on it.
Other that that, make sure you're always on the latest nbh and Myn release.
Get yourself a task manager and be mindful of what processes you actually need.
Use clearcache often.
go into dev tools/development settings and set the window and transition animation to OFF. i noticed that not only does everything open super quick but it did increase the overal performance
you can't use ext3 or 4 no. First thing is to make sure if you are running data on your sdcard that you are using a fast sd card (not a cheap one).
That's what is giving you the biggest performance hit right now.
There is an OC app coming but to be honest it really should be running quite snappy for you.
Thanks guys for all of the info. I have just one more question. should I enable swapping on my android? Advanced task manager usually reports that I have around 46-40MB of free ram.
If you have a lot of free memory already, there is no reason to use swap.
Ok, I have one last question (I apologize if I'm being a bit annoying). I tried installing and using Adfree on my vogue, but when I run it, it says "Cannot locate the 'cat' util on your system". Does anyone know how I can fix this? also, when my phone is connected to my charger, my phone's 3g speeds are really good, but when It's not on the charger, the 3g slows down. Normally I'm ok with it, but it may make playing some games online a bit more difficult when off the charger. Is there some way I can fix this? Thanks!

Can you install a new .nbh without updating the release you are running, or do you need to wipe the phone every time?

Ok Guys, new to this site, hopefully y'all can help me out.
I recently rooted my G1, Installed the latest Cyanogen (4.7.2.1) and installed a theme ( Marks Theme). I dont have very many apps cause I didnt want to bog down the phone memory.....
I love the set up but it started running slower even after I started running the over clocker widget.
My phone is only showing 14.18 MB of free internal memory. I went through my applications installed and can only find around 25 MB being used from all installed apps ( including browser and messaging etc.)
I even tried to do a factory reset ( by going through the settings) and the factory reset is not working. It changed nothing.
Is there something that Im missing? I feel like I should have much more free memory.
I love the way my phone works and the set up, I just wish it had more free memory so that it would run faster.
Ive thought about doing the Apps2SD but I feel like I chould have much more memory on my phone even before doing something like that.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
This is a question, and as such belongs in the Q&A section. You'll receive a better response to such things there.
The internal memory you're referring to is your /system partition.
It is where the entire OS is stored, basically. Which takes up, in your case, a whopping 55 MB (out of 70 MB).
If you //really// want more room, follow the Apps-2-SD tutorials out there. You'll get /plenty/ of space.
You could always upgrade to the new amon ra and then let it partition the sd card for you.Then you can have all that free phone storage for whatever it is.Bext time just try to restrict yourself from posting in wrong section
-Best regards

Thank you for the quick response. Is there a way to move this thread?
Also is there a better ROM that will take up less memory? I like this version but obviously it is wayy to large.
Anyone else running cyanogen 4.7.2.1 having this issue?
Most people using the Cyanogen ROM also utilize A2SD. Partition your SD card and you'll get more room.

There is no issue, you just don't have an ext partition ergo, all applications are installed to your phone which is why you have low phone memory.

Hi, first of this has nothing to do with development, should be in Q&A. Please remember for next time
OK, when you're on a custom ROM, don't use factory reset. Instead boot in to the recovery image and perform a wipe from there, and that's exactly what I'd suggest. Be prepared to loose everything stored on the phones memory, but you can use a backup app from the market for that... No you really should way more space than that, I can't really explain why...

The phone has two main partitions: /system and /data. It isn't /system that's filling up, it's /data (which makes sense...). The phone can't write to /system when it's unrooted, so it's not possible to store files there...
Everyone is trying to help but for a noob it can be a bit too much...4.2.7.1 is the best Rom available so keep that....RA Recovery is the best way to set up your memory card to accept your apps and keep them there freeing up a ton of space on the phone....simple way to fix is....Just format you sdcard with EXT3 using the RA-recovery v1.5.1 then once your card is formatted just reboot and Cyanogen's rom will move all the apps for you.....will not need to wipe any info on the phone that way...done it many times......Pm me if you need help!!!!

(partition sd card)
The non rooted standard T-Mobile rom is about the same size and will give you about the same amount of free space. There could be a more barebones rom but I think it's just a lot easier to run Apps2SD then to create a rom that might get you an extra 10mb of internal space. This is the fault of the internal memory on the phone being small. The only way to fix that is getting Apps2sd running which if you make a partion of 100mb should be enough to install all the apps you need. Getting a larger SD card for $10 is also another option so you wont have 1/10th of your sd cards storage gone.

You can always try different roms. CM is good and fast, but maybe try dwang 1.13 or Wesgarner version. wg is based on CM. I find it faster and more stable but this is just my opinion. if you back everything up with nandroid and some app like mybackup, you can flash all you want. you'll be able to get everything back with a nandroid/mybackup restore. try different stuff out and figure out what you like!
Has anyone tried Clemsyn's updated kernels from the Kaiser section on the Vogue? I'd like to try them since people say they are more stable, but ATools doesn't work for me and can't properly get the kernel to install on nand... Keeps making system and data .imgs regardless of settings.
Anybody have a working kernel they could post?
Have had the same issue. Would love to try clemsyn's rom on Vogue but can't get it to work through Atools.
I've gone back to Incubus's v12 froyo just for the battery life. I think v10.5 had the best battery life, but was a bit buggy. Using the latest rom from liq1d (Nov 30? i think) Relatively stable with v12 and decent battery life again compared to thoughtlesskyle's v17.
Try this out...
Download the latest Atools 1.1.4 here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/AtoolsRelease/
Open Clemsyn's Kernel - located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9768617&postcount=63
With the Atools 1.1.4.py - choose Vogue, screen res, Froyo, then save it somewhere.
Now - use the attached Atools to open that new saved NBH and edit it how you want for your Vogue.
Save this atools-old.zip - this is the one I always use to modify kernel NBH for my vogue.
Forgot - also for the newer NBH files, l1q1d had an update file that needed to be applied
to Froyo builds so that it would allow it to boot - attaching that as well as it can be hard to find.

Nope - can't get it to work for me.
Last working kernel for the Vogue - WITH USB support working, was the
10-31-10 2.6.25 NBH kernel - I tested all of them - lots of flashing!
I can say that it does not work, but the smart thing to do for stability right now is to use data on SD anyways for space reasons also stability if on .32 kernel. With that you could just pull the card out and put it in a reader. That is what I do with my card.

Improved stability with data on SD? This is the first I've heard of this, but I'm definitely interested. Are you talking ext2 or data.img? Is this related to the yaffs thing, or just personal experience? I would love to see my phone freeze less.
It is related to YAFFS. On SD it uses EXT2 or an image file. The image file is the best as it has file checking on it every boot/mount. YAFFS is the file system on the NAND and we don't have it working 100% stable just yet. If you do go the SD route just have a fast SD card. Don't spend extra on a class 10 card as it will be a moot point. The card can't push 10 MB/s in our devices. Even 6 is almost pointless, I wanna say it pushes around 5 MB/s
Thanks for the nice explanation. I guess I had discounted the .img method because it was the "old way", but I guess that means it's just extra well tested. Would ext2 have performance benefits over the .img? I'm not entirely sure what's in the .img file--is that just a virtual partition of ext2? Or is it a different file system altogether? Is it using any compression, or is it just a direct read/write file?
Now that I think about it, my phone was at its peak stability back in the days of Fresh Froyo using ext2 sys/data through Haret (before I had the courage to flash to nand). Nand brought speed and ease of rebooting once crashed/dead battery, but in the stability department it never held a candle to the SD card.
I like the idea of mixing system on nand and data on SD. I think I will try that tonight. No sense messing around with yaffs corrupting my files every day.

Yep thats the logic I used. Any Odex'd build with Clemsyns kernel with Sys on Nand and data on an img file will last a long time. I haven't had corruption in over a month I wanna say with light usage on my kaiser. The odex'ing helps just because it makes for less writes to NAND.
Does anyone know how to test if a bootable sdcard with nookie honeycomb actually works before you test it out on the nook color? thnx
btw i used the process that was on this site http://theunlockr.com/2011/02/07/how-to-load-honeycomb-android-3-0-on-the-nook-color-usd-method/
Not sure why you need to test it before putting it in the nook. If you're worried about doing any harm to the nook it's really not possible. Just put the card in and try to boot. If it doesn't boot take the card out and boot up normally, no harm no foul.

I second this. By default, all the Main Roms for Nookie Froyo and Nookie Honeycomb have no features enabled that will touch your Nook Color. The only thing it touches on the NC is the Cache Partition in order to prevent too many writes to the SD and to also speed things up. Anything done there won't screw up your NC in a Million years and Switching back to Stock and doing a few things will wipe any evidence. Or if really paranoid you can Flash back to Factory to ensure all is wiped.

thnx u guys, But i have another problem. i succesfully installed the honeycomb and got it to work on the nook color. But when I go to my computer with the sd card plugged in, it says that i only have 115 mb of data on the card. I have an 8 gb card. It's not left on the card, it says 115 mb out of 115 mb of data, even after i deleted everything. Anybody know how to restore it back to the 8 gb data amount thnxx
NookColor Format and partition your SD card back to a usable state
Opinion
Since the OP seems to have been answered, I'd like to piggy back a bit
Been doing some reading on the forums and I have started to vision myself getting in to the nook color honeycomb idea.
But a few questions first...
How well has it worked for anyone who has tried, is it a daily driver yet or too many issues? I have a SGS captivate so I am not too worried about having to mess with it before it works and I can use my phone to access email and all that.
But is it quick and snappy or will I feel like i'm using an underpowered device after using my phone.
And battery life, is it good, acceptable, or what?
Sorry if these have been answered somewhere else i tried to find the answers, but it's getting late and I have work yet to do tonight.
I installed it to emmc..over clocked it's still sluggish. Kinda cool but not a keeper to me.my droid x blows it away on performance. I will be back on phiremod beta 2 soon. Honeycomb is fun to tinker but not primetime. Remember it is not from aosp..missing features. It is amazing how good it isconsidering.
Well...its very promising for being in the early stages of development

i use honeycomb as a daily driver and if you install V2 on the emmc from samuallhaff(not 100% sure of his username off the top of my head) it runs smooth and it is really clean
i get the stock all day battery life(mainly it just sits in my bag when im in class but i have wifi always on so i dont disconnect from my schools wifi) and web browsing is amazing(it doesnt have flash though not a deal breaker though imo)
just dont use live wall papers and set CPU because they drain battery life faster and they diminish performance big time

I just realized that you are running HC from your SD card.
No, if you format that SD card, you lose HC. It actually mentions that in the procedure you linked in your original post.
The reason you only see 115MB on the card when you mount it on your Windows computer is because Windows can only see the first partition, the boot partition, that was written to that SD card as part of the procedure you followed. The rest of the space is taken up by partitions Windows can't see without help.
So if you want to continue to run HC off the SD card you have to dedicate that SD card just for running HC.
SD Card Partitions
while installing the image 3 patitions will be written on your sd-card.
1) root partition
2) honeycomb
3) fat32-partition
to use the full size of the sd-card use a partition manager to extend the fat32-partition.
installed apps can than transferred to the fat32-partition

i was wondering if i put honeycomb on my nook color, not on the sdcard, how would i do it. The instructions on that site only says how to make a bootable sd card. And i was using HC on a level 4 sd card and it said that u need a level 6. But i was still able to get it to run. The honeycomb on the sd card level 4 was pretty slow. i was wondering if i got it on my NC, would it be faster. If it would, can someone show me how?

Nope lots of lag still. Its ok not complaining. Lots of fc in dolphin too. Back to phiremod 2.2 for awhile.
You have to remember that the Honeycomb that was Ported is the Preview Release, think Demo version. It wasn't ported from (pretty much)scratch like Froyo was. It is more of a Rom hack. For a better performing version we have to wait for Honeycomb's Official Full release. In perspective, it's amazing how much deeper-blue got done with just the Preview image.

Not picking on you but it's actually 4 partitions.
1=Boot (Basically redirects to the Android on the SD)
2=System (Holds the main OS files of Honeycomb)
3=Data (Where all you're settings and other data are)
4=SDcard (This partition is used as a stand in for a Physical External SDcard)
Also the easiest/simplest way to access the 2, 3, and 4 partitions is to use linux. Burn a LiveCD if you don't want to Install, although Ubuntu can be Installed without Partitioning or other such normal 2nd OS needs. Just get the Windows installer from http://ubuntu.com

SD Card and Honeycomb 3.0 v4 image
I've been looking for an answer throughout the forums on this question but can't seem to find anything. The problem: I used the Honeycomb v4 image with WinImage. The SD card was originally 8 GB. The image file is 4 GB with approximately 600 MB or so of free space. Missing: 4 GB that was on the card.
1. Can I use a utility under Windows to get the free space allocated on the SD card that remains? If so, how?
2. Is there an option with WinImage to allocate the additional space on the SD card as free space and include it as part of the image that is being written to the SD card?
3. If I need to restore my SD card back to 8 GB, can that be done in Windows Explorer (not sure that Windows will pick up the full 8 GB as I haven't tried that yet).
Thanks.
Ohh, you have that problem. Don't know where you've been looking but that has been asked and answered many times. The problem is that when you install Froyo or Honey to the SD it makes 4 partitions like I listed above, but Windows can only see the First Partition and only Formats the First partition. The easiest way to fix is to put it in UnRooted Stock and Format it from Settings. If you don't have that you can Burn a Linux or GParted Live CD and Format it from their.

um, my read/write speeds are TERRIBLE with an adata class 6 sd card, even with the sd card speed boost....
w is about 2.0 or lower(sometimes lucky to 5 but EXTREMELY rare)
read is about 15 or lower(mbs)
and does data2ext2 effect the speed of sdcard?
does data2ext4 have better read speeds?
thanks in advance(using 3/26 gingerbread rom from aosp with stock kernal, and data2ext2)
Ext2 is faster. Make a nand of your setup then I think you should just backup all of your data and format the sd threw your pc/laptop. Then partition yout SD in recovery to 1024 ext2 0swap and rest in fat/system. Also I'd recommend reflashing your recovery. After that
Try the ext2 data2ext. If you need help just pm me. But you should be good after that.

Data2ext is going to slow down your normal sdcard read/write speeds, whether it's ext2 or ext4. My phone used to take forever to get past the "mounting sd card" phase of startup until I stopped using data2ext.
While ext4 is slower than ext2, that's for a good reason -- ext4 is journaled, so you see much less of a chance of data loss when using it.
@jasonM-Well must have been your phone or your sd/card. If you have a class 4,6 or 10 16gb sd/card I can't see a gig partition is going to effect it to much. Because mine flew pass the setup. The longest part of it is the typing of the commands and the reboot. It mounts asap and builds the super blocks asap. Its made my phone ridiculously fast.
@op and Jm
When I downloaded the msnbc app from the market " not recommended " it froze my phone so I had to do a battery pull which is a no do with the mod. All I did was reflash the recovery, restore a nand, flash the data2ext zip and all was back to normal. Even when I wipe cache and dev cache again I just reflash the data2ext zip and I'm good. All apps restore. I've never had any market,gps,or download issues at all. Even after I flashed the sd/card tweak it ran along with it fine. I run your kernel "jm" the darkhorse theme the miui camera & weather app, aosp's 3/26, sprint nav, I can over clock to 806 fine and on and on. My point is the data2ext hasn't effected my user experience in a negative way at all its only improved it. As far as data loss as long as you keep a backup of your sd/card you should be fine.
I say read the thread, post some questions to get some feedback and to gain an understanding of what it does, the negative and positive risks and benefits. Then try it out. If you need any help with it and I can, I will. Just pm me. Not you "jm" I know you don't need help lol. That's for the op.

OMG, my write speeds are better now BUT, read speed is only 14 mbs....(WITH the tweak, my mistake, the reads used to be about 21mbs average)
I flashed FroyoMod v2.6.3 a couple of months ago and haven't got time to learn how to configure its mods to its full potential. Actually I even didn't know what app2ext really was until today. So the sd-ext folder on my phone is still empty at the moment. Now I want to upgrade FroyoMod to its latest version and utilize all its features.
First, I would like to format my SD card and partition it to utilize app2ext. Another reason is because there are many unused files left by the apps I used before in it. So I want my phone to be like a brand new phone after the upgrading. Can any one give me a howto guide on this?
Except partitioning SD card for app2ext, what else preparation/tweaking do I need to do before/after flashing?
I don't have a sd card reader. Can I do the partitioning with my phone connected to my PC?

Thank you very much!
I did the partitioning after I upgraded to v2.9.3. Do I need to reflash my phone to make app2ext work?
Edit: I recall that Auto Memory Manager (AMM) was recommended to be used with Froyomod at that time to enhance performance. Do I still need it now? And what about the supercharger script?
