Some additional, helpful add-ons and comments regarding dual-booting:
I recommend this extra tweak: To get boot menu that defaults to internal card, and to set whether to ask each time or not, enter this code as root:
Code:
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool -R ask:immc2
For more info on this and other boot menu tweaks, see the ReadMe in initfs_flasher folder and this post.
Thank you for the detail instruction. I have coned the OS to a SD card and want to set the default to internal card. But sorry for asking, since I know nothing about Xterm and the commands, can you list out the step by step instruction like post#1, from after starting the Xterm, how and where to enter the chroot command up to closing the xterm. I do not want to mess up my system.
You can't mess your system up with that one; if you're not root, it fails, and if you are root, it works.
The ask:immc2, of course, selects that it will prompt with the menu, and that it will default to immc2; even if, for example, you're confused and it's really the external card, it'll still ask, and you can just go to the right one in the menu. Even if you completely trash the ask, too, it'll still let you hold the menu key down, and you can get back in and try again. Don't worry.
Hi, is to normal to get this message after I have cloned my OS to internal mmc in my N810 which connecting to computer via USB. Internal Memory card in use. If its so then, is it that now i can only have removable card accessible via my computer. Also how can I empty some space in my phone memory(flash memory) which is now just 12 MB free. Also, if I ever have to reflash my OS how would I do it so that only my OS gets flashed and my saved application aren't harmed. Thanks
Hello
Newbie here, and I'm kind of STUCK in the process at item#8 (Remove Extra Stuff?=YES) After doing so I'm getting the following message:
Part 1 - Preparing initfs.bootmenu.jffs2 image
*** copying current initfs ...done.
If you remove extra stuff you may write to initfs and customiz bootmenu.
Remove unneeded extra stuff ...
!!! unknown initfs version 2008-24, cannot install bootmenu
cannot find initfs.bootmenu.jffs2, something failed, nothing flashed.

(what should I do from here?) "Please HELP! someone, anyone
I finally was able to figure out how to clone my OS.
It does seem to boot faster as well as bring up apps faster.
I have another question though. Is there any way to improve the web browser experience when bringing up web pages. It still seems as slow or slower than booting normally (as opposed to booting from the cloned OS) when bringing up web pages.
I have tried different browser settings as well as Auto. I also have the virtual memory extended to 128K in control panel.
Would a swap file on the memory card fix this problem or does the browser still kinda suck (although browsing in Diablo is a little better than Chinook as far as crashing and slowness goes).
How do I create a swap file? I tried following the instructions I searched for in the forum. I think I did it right but how can I be sure I did? Is there any way to check if I did it right?
Or, is there a way to increase the virtual memory more than 128K?
Will this fix the browsing experience or is that something that still has to be figured out in a future update of the browser?
EDIT: I found out from another website how to determine the swap file size.
~# free
gave me the following:
total used free shared buffers
mem: 126796 124656 2140 0 1572
swap: 423684 0 423684
total: 550480 124656 425824
So I guess its working but browsing still seems slow Any suggestions to help that?
