Well I got through that issue.. just had to fix permissions.... but I am still having a hell of a time with this second partition... I see that it is really simple but I cant seem to get it right some how...

After I flashed victorious the first time I opened link2sd and got this error

"Mount script cannot be created.

mount: Invalid argument

ext4 may not be supported on your device. Try FAT32 on the second partition"

but i went in and deleted the files in \system\etc\ and flashed victorious again...

after that I ran link2sd again and it prompted as to what type of partition my second partition was... to which i just cancelled but then under storage info it said the 2nd partition was not mounted...

I know this is easy and i feel annoying to keep posting but does anyone have and idea of what i might be missing

It does not sound like your sdcard is partitioned properly. Download Terminal Emulator and type the following:
PHP: 
su
mount
Let me know if any lines contain either of these strings in them:
sdext2
mmcblk1p2
(a screen shot would be great).
 
Ok so I have been messing with this SD card more today.... I decided to boot up a USB with ubuntu 12.04... I formated the two partitions using gparted ... one at 18GB (Fat32) the other one at 12GB (ext4) when i tired to mount the 12GB partition using disk utility I get the following error...

An error occurred while performing an operation on "12 GB Filesystem" (Partition 2 of Generic USB SD Reader): Filesystem driver not installed

Details
Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd2,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error

So now I am thinking its either my SD card can be partitioned like this or has something to do with my card reader.

Anyone have any ideas... Im pretty much out of ideas and options at this point.

Just wondering if data throttling will ever be removed? I don't use much data at all just one more thing to make device truly your own. Or if virgin has any tracking or package install blocking. I used to have metro and they did.

Throttling is handled on Virgin's side so nothing done on phone side will bypass throttling. There should be no tracking or blocking software on the phone.

That output shows that the 2nd partition on your sdcard is not being mounted properly, now to see if the phone even recognizes it. Using terminal, type in the following
PHP: 
su
ls /dev/block
You are looking for mmcblk1p2, if it is not there, then the phone cannot recognize the partition. If you do not see mmcblk1p2, then there is a small chance there is something wrong with your phone or the software on the phone, but it is most likely an error with the partition. Try running fdsk with your ubuntu stick, and see if it can repair the partition.
 
Jerry, that is one crazy battery graph.


My battery graphs always look more like this, no sharp drops; straight lines. Slope might be a bit steeper if I'm at 100% load w data, maybe 50% steeper?

I'll be posting a new version of the VaeVictus kernel in an hour or so, try flashing it and let us know if you have heat issues anylonger.

That's because you are always on wifi with your posted graph, and it's only for a couple of hours. My graph was for over 20 hours, so it has to be steep to fit on the screen. ;)

I work smack dab in the middle of three cell phone towers, and I have used apps to determine I connect to 5 different ones (right off a couple of the major arteries in Vegas). I have always experienced tower hopping on every cell phone I've used at this location, and I've learned to live with it. If I was connecting to a good strong signal all day, I'm sure my battery life would be extended by at least 4 hours (experience from being on vacation near a single good tower, but on my old OptimusV).
 
"I'll be posting a new version of the VaeVictus kernel in an hour or so, try flashing it and let us know if you have heat issues any longer."

I will give it a try. Just download and install from TWRP? Any other steps involved? Clear caches?

I didn't seem to have any issues with heat after switching to Powersave, and battery life was markedly better, but the phone also seemed noticeably less responsive too. I did a reboot after it semi-froze on Dropbox, and it reset to ondemand and seems very fast again. Got a little warm but not any more than I have felt at other times in the past. But I haven't yet tried charging it again either.

Made a couple stupid mistakes moving files around but making progress on getting it back the way I want it now.

Was that powerave on the last version?
 
My 20hr graphs look similar. Ive posted a few

The cell radio is a good point. Perhaps that is whats making the difference. My optimus' battery drains twice as fast at -100db as it does at -80db
 
I assume so. I haven't downloaded any other governors - only what was on the phone or with Victorious. Assuming you are asking me, but maybe not. Please ignore me if I have no idea what I am talking about : )
 
Will flash when its up.

If the 1.5-1.8 voltages were borked that would explain the minor battery temp changes.
 
Music Player and Music FX, both of which I like, show in my System Apps folder, but not in Application Manager or the App Drawer. And neither are disabled or frozen by Application Manager or Titanium as far as I can see. Not sure what the problem is. I even tried clicking it in the System Apps folder and it said it "Application Not Installed". Any ideas?

Are you running Victorious? I ask because those are odexed and Jerry deodexed Victorious.

If so did you try copying them back over? Check permissions on all 4 files and reboot, if that doesn't work I'd delete those and put in the deodexed versions cause that's probably the issue.
 
Those apks were removed from Victorious, so you are seeing the ghosts of updates to them, or you attempted to restore the originals via Titanium Backup or some other backup program.

Flash this file in recovery, it will install MusicFX.apk, MusicHub_31.apk, and MusicPlayer.apk:
musicplayerfix.zip

Note- MusicFX still doesn't show up on my phone after installing this way, so it must need to be a part of the radio or media groups, will check on proper permissions/owners to get it working later.
 
Yes, running Victorious for two days now, but have had some issues.

What do you mean by copying them back over? I did try a restore from Titanium Backup which never did anything except keep trying and I had to kill it. What should the permissions be? They seem to match the other apps in the folder. And where can I find the deodexed versions? Is htere a repository of the deodexed apps somewhere.
 
How do I uninstall updates since none of these show up in Application Manager or Titanium Backup?

Also, I assume I can safely uninstall MusicHub afterwards. I didn't use it and had removed it prior to Victorious anyway.

If they aren't showing anywhere just go in and manually remove the files yourself with your file manager. Once you get all your apps the way you want I'd redo your backups with TB to get rid of the old odexed versions.

If you don't use MusicHub it should be OK to remove.

Well the good news is mmcblk1p2 is there... I am out and about today will hopeful get to fdsk later.

Thanks for your help Jerry... I will post the results later.
