Obijon could you provide data2ext4 support in the next version similar to the mod posted by takenover83..It will be awesome to use this with rhodimus with data2ext4. Thank you soo much
ext4 is supported in the kernel. The command-line utilities for manipulating, formatting, fsck-ing, etc, are not right now (they will be in the next version, which should be the first part of next week). However, you can create the ext4 partition in recovery, then create an init.d script to mount it. I've added support for init.d in the current release. You want to call mount with vold so that it is cleanly unmount on shutdown:
Code:
mount -t ext4 /dev/block/vold/179:2 /sdcard/sd-ext
or wherever you want to set the mount point to be.
So, I ended up with about 8%/hour battery usage which is about what stock Rom was doing.
I don't know if it's your battery or the apps/widgets you are running, but I'm getting much better battery life than that, around 3-4% when I'm actually using the phone, closer to 1% when it's idle but data-connected. Pull up Running Services and take a look, there might be something running you didn't realize. Do you have Skype installed? If so, there's your problem right there. It will slam your battery even if you sign out, kill the background service, and force stop the app. It refuses to let go of the sensors for some reason. Wow. Just a vile abomination of an app, really. Worst behaved piece of software I've ever seen.
You might also want to check and see if you've got the TWS bug. It affects some people and not others. There is a framework patch that's supposed to address the issue, but I'm still testing it.
I noticed that I am losing the free memory. After a reset, I have about 310M of RAM but as the day goes by it keeps on shrinking and I end up below 240M even after clearing the tasks. It looks like something is not cleaning up after itself.
Is this a problem with the ROM or is it from Link2SD? Anyone else losing free memory slowly?
I haven't noticed it at all, but I will see if something is going on. As you run apps, they will create temporary files and log files, sometimes not on /sdcard, so when you reboot those are gone and you've got more memory.
