Monday or Tuesday i'll start working on it...

I agree youve done a lot of great work the last few days take a well deserved break. The theme looks pretty sweet and it says vibe is working in it.....does that mean hopefully it will work when youre done too?

lushmoney · Mar 26, 2010

BH_Man, thanks for all the crazy hard work you have been doing to this phone!! With R5, my market apps wont download, none of them. It just keeps saying installation unsuccessful because package file is invalid. any idea why??

Does anyone Have a G1 / MyTouch 3g Phone with a Recovery you can Format to ext2 / and swap?

I have Automatic a2sd working Now & wanting to Release R5 with this Feature...

I have a mytouch 3G 1.2 with Amen RA recovery 1.6.2

I can partition up to ext 4

EDIT - I have to finish charging up the Behold but if you want me to try the new R5 release with A2SD, I'm game.

Love your work.

would it ever be possible to add any kind of microsoft exchange app?

I use touchdown but it would be sweet to have the HTC stock app.

@BH_MAN, if voice search is not working in r5, then you should also put that in your change log!

Set up my sdcard with 2 partitions, about 1.5 gig for FAT32 and the rest for ext2 for a2sd. Flashed R5 Confirmed it is working!

ls /system/sd/app

Shows my apps installed to the SD card.

Bravo for another slick rom! Loving having the extra RAM!

eric how much did you partition for ext 2 and what class sd are you running. I plan on doing a class 4.

Edit - Ok i just noticed you said the rest for ext2.

I went ahead and did 1.6 Gb linux swap, 512 mb ext2 for A2SD and the rest for Fat 32

OK I had a weird error happen. I missed a call earlier and got a strange text message afterward. It was a bunch of junk in the text. I noticed I had no Voicemail so I downloaded the Visual voicemail app and had voicemail. I tested to see if I still got the garbage text. I got voicemail to pop up in the notifications but still get a garbage text.

I THINK it's a visual Voicemail Sync Message that isn't playing nice. Hope that helps.

Forgot to mention I made a 64 meg swap as well.

Does this firmware support ext4? I just went with ext2 to be safe.

shawn1224 · Mar 26, 2010

I'm not sure so I did ext 2 as well.

BTW, I had it backwards, did 512mb swap and 1.6 for ext 2

wow thats way to much for linux-swap

edit, even 512 is still alot, make it in a range of 32mb-128mb

Yea I figured as much. I went ahead and knocked it down to 94mb and upped ext 2 to 2 gigs.

aznknightz17 · Mar 26, 2010

Wait wait im confused. Is linux swap ext3 or totally different. I would need to make ext2, ext3, and linux-swap?

shawn1224 · Mar 26, 2010

you need 3 partitions - Fat 32/ext2/linux swap

ext 2 can be upgraded to 3 or 4, but so far eric confirmed that ext 2 works just fine.

paul89 · Mar 26, 2010

linux-swap I believe is for cache, it helps bost the system, but if you have to much for it then it will slow the system down.

greatsickness · Mar 26, 2010

What are you guys using to partition your cards?

shawn1224 · Mar 26, 2010

I used Amon RA's recovery on my mytouch.

GPARTED is the best if you have Linux (or access to a linux box) it will make your life a lot easy

psychoace · Mar 26, 2010

is Linux swap even activated? apps2sd is different then Linux swap so I think you guys are wasting space

greatsickness · Mar 26, 2010

I only have access to XP

ericjwill · Mar 26, 2010

For those of you who lack access to a Linux machine:

GParted LiveCD

This boots into a basic Linux OS where you can run GParted to modify your SD card. Remember to backup EVERYTHING on your SD card before doing any partition work!

After the O/S boots, mount your SD card on your phone so that GParted can view it to modify. It shows up as a SCSI device.

Eric, Great idea! Live CD's! Now here's a man who is thinking out side of the box.

Live CD's are a great way of using linux on your on computer without modifying or risking anything. Everyone can use linux (and maybe stay with it

) and achieve this task quick and safe with a full graphical interface.

With Handcent re-removed, is there a good way to prevent double text notifications? I have handcent installed, but I dont want to run a auto task killer to stop the stock notification.... I'm still a bit new to the android game, any help is appreciated. I take it handcent was removed to fix the mms issue :-( It is such a good texting program.

paul89 · Mar 26, 2010

yep its what I used, but first I tried it through my virtual machine (linux) and it was working right??? oh well live cd worked!
