Root Boost is updating the prevail to 2.3 gingerbread next week

Has anybody gotten a2sd to work? Mine says its installed apps on SD etc. But I can't move Dalvic gnashed to SD. Says not enough space. Help please.
 
Just got the notification on my phone that the update downloaded. Haven't installed yet. Where should I look for the update.zip?

I am rooted now and checked for update and nothing yet....maybe I will wait for prerooted version thank you soooooooo much to the amazing people that make all this possible rooting etc.....Cyn
 
From 500's to 1561 with CM7. Insane to see this hardware beat out phones like the Nexus One, Moto Droid X and HTC Evo. Nice to know that stock Gingerbread doubles it.

561,559, 576, 572, 567 --- average 567

mine says something about check terminal emulator "a2sd check". least u got that far

Did you remove any bloat? May not have enough system memory for proper install. Was getting the same error. Clearing up sauce took care o mine...

So does anyone have ciq removed on gb? Optimus indicates that he's not seeing it, I've tried the kernel he put together and Kouma's and iq agent still shows up under running service.Trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong. Is there another step besides flashing the zip that needs to be taken? Factory reset perhaps?

Removing it in the kernel is just one part of the equation. Bloodawn is the resident expert on tracking down all the apk's that will still launch it. The service driver resides in the /system partition, so CIQ is really only truly removed by a CIQ removed ROM/Theme.

Keep an eye on Blood's threads for GB updated versions of his most popular mods.

Thanks! Thought it might be something like that. Good to know before I go beating my head against a brick wall. Got GB CTMod running now and no CIQ woot! Now if we can get some of the glitches sorted out I'll be golden!

I would definetly do as Im a Genius says and check the space but if you are confident that you have available space on your SD then try running this command either from ADB as root or from a Terminal program as root: "a2sd cachesd" without the quotes of course. I've had similar issues moving my Dalvik around although I've found that placing it in on the /cache partition works better me, it just seems to provide faster perfomance that way. If you decide to see for yourself the command is "a2sd cachepart".

I hope this helps!
 
I received that error before I installed the new optimus kouma kernel. The phone is not reading your ext partition. Try installing or reinstalling one of the new kernels and your problem should be fixed, mine was
 
I got the message on my phone to update but I have not. I have Rooted Froyo.EE14. I only rooted for tethering. I used the PrevailToExist. to root. What do I need to do, to get Gingerbread and root? Thanks in advance guys

yeah, you'll have to root again after updating.
many people have had to odin their phones back to stock (myself included) in order to be able to upgrade to GB.

of course, if you're going to odin your phone to stock, you might as well odin it to one of the GB images :)
 
Okay, this is where I am at, and the steps I have taken. gb stock > root with ocr > latest cwm, stick > partition with CWM, factory reset to format partitions, install CT Mod 2.0 (which is great by the way). reboot.

Okay, this is what i don't understand. When connected to pc via usb cable, neither eeasus, or mini tool see the sd-ext partition in windows, nor does gparted in Linux Mint. They do see the fat32 5.5 gb of a 8 gb card. So I new something was there.

unmounted card and put it into card reader and inserted in pc. Voila, there was the 2 GB sd-ext.

Formatted to ext4 and popped back in phone, installed inigo's a2sd and everything is now great. but still no go with the partition managers seeing the partition. Any clues?

It works, and that is what matters. Thanks all of the developers!

Is there a guide or something detailing in steps what I need to do? I tried searching this thread. Im sure I missed something.

try formatting in the CWR instead of the computer. usually does the trick.

I've never tried doing anything with the extended partitions on the sdcard while it was in the phone. Since the phone keeps the ext partition mounted when it passes the fat partition to the USB, I assume that the device itself is not truly visible to your PC, just the partition that the phone shares

Thanks Kouma, that makes sense. But it used to see it under froyo. so I could format the sd-ext via usb. Maybe I shouldn't have been doing that...:) but I could and that is how I did it in froyo with mods and it worked. I don't see it as an issue, now that I know what to do, but I was wondering if anybody else has also seen this, or if it was just me. :(
