[Q] Nvidia Games SD Cache Not Detected on CM7 - LG Optimus 2x

Hi, I have Shadow Guardian and Shadow Gun installed on my O2x. The games downloaded SD Card data while I was on stock Gingerbread. Now I have moved to CM7 and although the data is still there, when I start these games, they ask to re-download the data. I think this issue is due to the fact that CM7 is reading processor info as ARM and not Nvidia (correct me if I am wrong). Although, Riptide GP and Samurai Warrior run fine (strange as they are meant for Nvidia and not reading the processor info as ARM). I am stuck here and request help. Thanx in advance

think you should read a bit of http://www.nvidia.com/docs/IO/90715/Tegra_Multiprocessor_Architecture_white_paper_Final_v1.1.pdf (pages 7,8,9) to better understand what's in this Tegra chip.
About games not recognizing game data i'd suggest trying to move the game data from Android\Data\com.xxx(where xxx should be your game). See where the game is currently stored on (internal or external) and move it to the other one and open the game to see if it recognizes game data.

CM7 sucks it uses a different way to recognize your sd cards so if you move from a stock rom you either have to delete everything to rearrange it i hated it so much im never going back to cm unless ICS comes out.
There are some apps that can change it back to stock way i think. cm does it so the external sd is recognized as the internal sd instead and the internal sd is seen as the external sd, some people have larger sd cards than their internal capacity .... i am not one of those people so they should have added a setting to change it back and keep them named the same as stock for compatibility reasons.... for some reason logic did not make sense to them in this instance.

thanx for the replies, I was wondering why CM7 could not utilize the nvidia drivers, but it may be a case of copyright issues. Nevertheless, CM7 is still underdeveloped I guess in many aspects including my problem so I too would like to stick with the stock for now.

There is setting in CM under cm settings--> applications, it will swap the mounting again so sdcard=internal and external=microsd, but mounting is different than stock. External = mnt/emmc for CM and sdcard/external sd for Stock(not sure for stock i havnt used it for ages)

For stock the internal sd card is just named sd card and the external sd is inside this folder named external sd....simple no.

You moved those apps to SD and they're not designed to be moved, by any chance?

you know that might be true i did do some move to sd card before i wipe and rebooted into the new rom... thanks
o by the way how much room does the nexus one suppose to have to store apps??
I think it depends on its capacity.
The internal flash memory is 512MB. You can expand the SD card to 32GB.
Nexus has ~190 MB for applications, their data and Dalvik-cache.
The best way to avoid that limit is to use Apps2SD+ (DarkTremor's, for example), or use a custom ROM that has it already implemented. Froyo Apps2SD doesn't help too much, and there are several problems with it when using custom launchers (ADW/LauncherPro), one of which you most likely saw.

[Q] Nook Color honeycomb

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.

For God's sake haven't you read the full description of cm7?
It had been said thousand times that internal card is mounted as /mnt/emmc.
Please dig around and read some documentation before flashing.

Boot up ur phone, remove the SD card (physically, open the back cover and remove it), and reinsert the SD card. Everything should work after that. I notice that this happens only the first time flashing.

Yeah the cm7 rom does it all in a stupid weird way that's why i ditched that rubbish and used a custom stock gingerbread rom, only thing i miss from it is the wiimote compatibility.

Actually, for me, that is the single most important feature of CM7. On stock firmware the internal SD-card was quickly becoming cramped with apps, and the 16GB microSD I bought especially for apps was staying empty(except for a few mp3's and camera storage).
For me, the ideal rom would be non-bloatware stock with CM7 sd mounting. Unfortunately no one could help me with mounting sd cards CM7-style on stock.

nah it's not stupid. default android use the sdcard as primary.
Code:
Vold.fstab:
* Vold.fstab is the file that will mount your sdcard(s) you can define in there where you want to mount the sdcard.
Like LG does /sdcard/_ExternalSD <- weird LG table
Like the most on xda do /sdcard/_InternalSD <- our modified weird LG table
or like CM does /emmc and /sdcard <- stock android

CM7 driving me insane.. int/ext SD storage.

My external USB storage mode does not work for whatever reason, I have no idea why, it works on stock rom, it worked briefly on CM7...
I have no way to put files on External SD, I guess I could use a MicroSD to USB adapter but that just seems unnecessary. Previously on stock ROM when I used Software Data Cable or other FTP softwares I could just navigate to /External SD and all my files would be there, CM7 seems to do some annoying sort of merging, where External SD is showing as empty despite having files...
Any ideas?
Edit: Okay I changed CM7 settings to use External SD. This has fixed the running out of int SD issue and now I can more easily edit the more important files with the USB-SD. USB storage still doesn't work though.
If you don't have the "External SD" symlink anymore you could navigate to the "emmc" folder with a file manager on your phone which will be the second sd.
The mounting problem sounds like a USB driver problem.
Uninstall all LG parts from your PC, restart, reinstall the newest drivers and use another USB port to connect the device.
Internal & external SD should popup as two different drives when you plug it in.

CM7 is rubbish i used that for all of about 1 hour and got sick of the rubbish ideas that were stuck in it, its certainly not as smooth as the cm lovers would have you believe.
If i were you id stick to a custom stock rom.
Well I find cm7 better than Topogigi if that's anything to to by? Faster with better battery life.

Can't comment on battery life but in case you havnt noticed cm doesn't use the lg launcher it uses adw so its bound to be quicker. Compare them launcher to launcher and i garentee they are exactly the same.

[Q] How to make SD card as Internal memory in Samsung Note

Dear All,
I am using Samsung note my internal memory is full. Recently I have purchased 32 GB SD Card and I have transferred by music, videos and pics to SD card.
I want to know is there is any option by which application automatically gets installed in SD card?
Please Help.
i have the same question, pls help
manually via the free app2sd on play, I dont know of one that does it automatically, it would be nice if there was one.
John.
Hello
I don't think so there a trick available for the same.
But there are apps available in the play store, using them you can move your any installed apps in to SD card...

There are loads of v0.1 examples on there, even the official thread has some however v0.2 has a lot more features and is smoother. If I have time I will make one tonight after work and upload for you. No guarantees though.
The kernel acts as a mediator for your programs and your hardware. First, it does (or arranges for) the memory management for all of the running programs (processes), and makes sure that they all get a fair (or unfair, if you please) share of the processor's cycles. In addition, it provides a nice, fairly portable interface for programs to talk to your hardware.
There is certainly more to the kernel's operation than this, but these basic functions are the most important to know. Obviously each kernel does things in different ways however I found Thor V11 with undervolting and overclocking to be by far the best.

OP-Do you research before doing anything dangerous. Since this threat is for Desire HD and not Galaxy Note. Be very careful.
If you have that 32GB micro-SD, you can use it as your phone's internal SD card with an easy vold.fstab swap. Your reduced capacity internal storage would then become your "external" SD card. This link should help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377628
