Root [ROM] PlainJaneT2 Stock 2.1 with OC and A2SD

joshminton said:
ok nvm, i rebooted my phone and all the stuff that disappeared is back. i did the a2sd check in the terminal and its sayin alot of stuff. i'll try and type it out

Apps - [-] Linked to SD Card
[-] Apps2SD no start not found.
[*] Programs run from SD card

etc, and so on.

does this mean it worked???

one easy way to tell if a2sd took is run the following either though adb or your terminal program on the phone

ls /system/sd/app

all this does is give you a list of the apps on your sd card ...nothing else
thought it won't work on CM roms as cyanogen stores the apps in a different folder i believe
 
Awesome. but i find it odd that when i look at my sd cardthrough astro or on my computer i dont see any of the apps or anything.

I don't think astro can see the ext partition, only way to see the apps is to look under /system/sd/app like rvpartsguy said.

Hey t2noob, thanks for this ROM, its working great! Just curious what you recommend as far as OCing.

Well it depends how much your phone can handle, my phone can only handle up to 748mhz before it starts rebooting, but i know of other people that can get theirs to go as high as 806 without any problems. so mess with it and figure out how much your phone can handle before rebooting. Then you can set up your profiles from there. Let me know if you need any help I'll try to help you out.
 
Just wanted to thank you for putting this together - I've been a rom-aholic the last few weeks, and although there are some pretty cool ones out there, they all seem to want for something, or something doesn't work, etc. - having a solid base where all essentials still work, and the phone functions exactly as a VZW device should (no weird market things/dialer issues - that stuff) is ultimately what I really wanted - thanks again
 
Finally, an HTC based ROM where the "get more HTC widgets" actually works!

In Menu...Settings...SD Card & Phone Storage, I see 6.5 avail on my SD card and only 98.02mb on the internal phone storage. Should I see more here or is it not reporting correctly?

** I ran adb shell and ls /system/sd/app and had some updates to existing packages installed there as well as some new stuff, so it must be work :D

# ls /system/sd/app

com.facebook.katana.apk
smpxg.feeding.zip
smpxg.crystallight.zip
com.google.android.apps.maps.apk

if you want to know how much space you have type this
Code: 
busybox df -h
it will give you the size of the partitions, how much space you have left, how much space you have used.
To see if the the ext partition is being used look at space remaining on the system/sd partition.
also if you type
Code: 
a2sd check
it will print out where the apps are being installed to and where the cache is running from and other stuff.
 
Thanks again for all of your contributions on the forums. I posted earlier about overclocking on this rom. I'm very new to rooting so bear with me. I have an eris and had my cpu at 710max and 528min on demand. I have screen off profile at 480 max, 245 min ondemand. At these settings, everything was functioning well though I did notice the occasional lag or hiccup from time to time when scrolling the home pages. I then increased to 768 and things seemed fine for a few hours, but then started to lag badly and eventually removed all widgets from my home screen, which was bizarre. I rebooted and went back to 710 and things seem stable, though still the occasional hiccup.
My question, (finally) is this hiccup due to my screen off profile or my default setting? Is there an optimal setting that will resolve this or is it just one of the effects of the cpu jumoing around?

EDIT- I'm at 748 now and things are smooth right now. Still curious about profiles though.
EDIT- Found the link for zanfurs OC patch with a pretty solid explanation.
 
I just tried this rom last night and I'm having issues with the partition. My main method of transfer is via dropbox. The problem is the things I download from dropbox are no longer seen in any other program. For instance, the mp3s I download no longer show up in the music program on ringdroid. The images I download don't show up in photos. Is there something I'm missing?

I don't use drop Box, Where does dropbox download your stuff?
The sdcard or in the data folder where the app is located?
also make sure there is no .nomedia file in the folder where your stuff is because then the android system wont read it.
 
Does this have a checkbox to "Use This Every Time" on the Disk Drive, Internet Sharing, Charge Only or Sync screen?
 
Just downloaded the zip, did a full wipe, and flashed like normal. ROM loaded, rebooted phone and I can't get past the start up screen. I get the 2 little aliens and then the plain Jane text and theb it does it again...aliens, text, aliens, text. I let it go doe about 15 min thinking it was just taking a long time to start up sa happens when flashing new ROM's sometimes, but to no avail. Pulled battery, wiped again, reflashed and.....same thing. Any ideas? Anybody else have this issue?

I had the same problem I had to go in and wipe everything including sd card ext. Then I flashed again and it worked. Hope that works for you too. I ended up having to do it like 5 times but that is what worked for me. It is worth it though.

That did it right there. Setting everything up now. I have noticed one other problem though. It won't let me log into facebook via HTC. I can use the facebook for android just fine, but I like having my contact pics synced with facebook and being able to see people's updates in the contact menu. Anyone else have this problem?

I'm really new to the whole apps 2 sd card. i cant seem to figure it out! ive partioned my sd card via rom manager and have gone into recovery to see if i did and i did. i just cant seem to find a way to install apps to sd card... can anyone help?
 
ilikemyeris said:
noobish question but how are you suppose to flash the rom to get default fonts back to original?
Click to expand...
All you have to do is download that .zip to the root of your sd card and boot into recovery (vol + and end key) and go down to install from .zip i think. thats what i did and it worked for me. hope that answers your question
 
Alright, it worked!! now what i'm trying to figure out is how is the a2sd function with the never having to reinstall apps again? How does that work
