What recovery are you running? It's just a standard flashable .zip file, should work with any custom recovery.

You're welcome! Yes, that's what I think will happen. When you do this mod, you will want to wipe dalvik and cache in recovery. Then, on boot, dalvik is mounted to a different disk partition. Then the system rebuilds the dalvik cache. Finally, Link2SD will start once the full system is up, and...

I haven't tested that but you shouldn't have to. Link2SD sets up a system of symlinking the apk and dex files of an individual app to copies on another location. This just bind mounts the entire dalvik cache (/data/dalvik) to the cache partition (mtdblock1). The system just sees /data/dalvik...

I finished the dalvik to cache mod. And made an update .zip so people won't have to get too crazy to use it.

This is a mod to move your phone's Dalvik cache to the /cache partition, freeing up the space it would normally take up in /data. Depending on how many apps you've got installed, you'll free up 40+ M of space on /data. This is an old mod that has been around a while and in all of the Optimus S...

OK, I will write that up and top-post it. Unfortunately, it requires editing one of the .rc files, which live in the boot partition, which means using the Linux command line to unpack and repack a boot image file. So, it will be a breeze for some people, but totally impenetrable nerd-speak for...

You need to set your min clock to 480 (or lower) to have any effect on power consumption. 600+ all run at the same voltage.

OK, let me know if I wasn't clear on anything. Hopefully once you get the vold.fstab syntax sorted out, the rest will automagically work. P.S. I noticed your profile says you are running stock OS/ROM. In that case you might be interested in moving Dalvik cache from /data to /cache ... it will...

OK, so I have dug up a lot of info and am not sure where to start. The first thing to understand is that Android system does not use a traditional UNIX rc.d init system where everything is in little scripts. If you have dug into Solaris svcadm or OS X launchd, it is more like that. (Why? it's...

I'll take a look ... I do know that the "init.d support" some ROMs have isn't fully baked like on a real Linux system, and doesn't have shutdown scripts. One thing to do would be to watch logcat while doing a reboot. Android system doesn't seem to use same concept of runlevels as Linux, but...

Well, this is pretty similar to what I am running right now ... it is basically a homemade ROM (I guess I can call it a ROM since I have a .zip to flash it with) based off of VD/Froyo. Anyway I will list the features I can remember in case it sparks anyone's imagination. * deodex * froyo...

Although it seems counterintuitive, it actually saves you space on the /data partition (space for more apps) if the ROM puts more stuff into /system. This is why Ksmith for example updates the copy of Maps that's in /system and puts FOSS things like SuperUser there ... that way you don't have to...

That's cool, I am basically doing the same thing right now. I have compiled my own kernel from the LG source code and have forked my own ROM (I guess I can call it a ROM since I have a .zip to flash it) off the official VD/Froyo base.

Let me know if there's anything specific you can't track down. FYI, I've also been posting recently on this thread, trying to help someone with the boot partition image extraction/packing. One idea I had there was, if you're on Windows and don't have the mkbootfs and mkbootimg binaries...

If all you do is root and run stock, there is nothing magical in what you have done. All you have done is copy su and busybox to your phone, and install SuperUser from the Market. It is extremely easy to undo this later (rm su and busybox, uninstall Superuser). You don't have to flash or...
