GeniRus_Salsa 4.0 :)

- it use less RAM

- slightly faster and more responsive

Pardon... Small corrections in version 4.1.

GeniRus_Salsa 4.1

- RAM fix for Sense live
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
cool! I'd like to know HOW it could actually use less ram and be faster, but I'm really hoping that this is actually true!

I'm excited and will try it out now :-)

hard for me to be fair though since I'm coming from VE6 which is so INSANELY fast that even stock speed sense roms seem laggy by comparison...

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------

so I'm booting it now.... htc screen is on there... I know how these sense 3.0 and 3.5 roms work and what to expect, so during the initial sync which can take half an hour or more the phone will probably run REALLY slowly. So I will reserve opinion until it's up and running properly and has been rebooted a couple of times.

Hang in there.... comments to come sometime later.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok, best GeniRus Salsa yet for sure.

still has those little issues we keep getting from salsa sense roms, but this is as good as anything jieehd's original version was capable of, this is as fast and as stable I think as the average salsa sense rom I got from him in the past. Compared to the other genirus salsa roms this is definitely faster and more usable.

I wish it was a little faster and a little more reliable but I think some of this is just how life is going to be with the hero running such new roms.

I like it though, good work :-)

Flashing GeniRus_Salsa 4.1, thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kirill143:
Thanks for the tip!):)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] socratesig:
Is it possible to include the Spanish language?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Diamond Geezer:
can you fix the download link please ?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CSL00:
I've not had that many sense reloads on 3.0 but this release is much better, the browser caused no sense reload so far. Thanks to all involved.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hero user:
How about Arabic language support ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aptemka-74:
We will add other languages ​​in later ROM. Because right now our goal is to achieve stability ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] slobo2712:
getting sense reloads again :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] alpha124:
could someone just post a few screenshots?

thanks

alpha124
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aptemka-74:
Sometimes this happens... Version 5.0 should be much more stable
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
Dude the sense reloads are a lot less than 3.0 but they are still there and overall it works pretty well:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
if you read/search this thread you will find out that the screenshots for this rom are in JieeHD's SalsaSense rom thread, which is virtually the same rom as this.

This developer has taken over maintenance and attempts at improvements to the salsa sense rom.

This dev also changed it's name to GeniRus_Salsa.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aptemka-74:
Thanks, We have repeatedly written about this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] enlove:
perfect~！i love 4.1 ~！thank you very much~！

非常好，我喜欢4.1，非常感谢你~！
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
Is there any temporary way to stop the sense reboots ? They are really irritating:mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aptemka-74:
Need to free RAM! Remove a HTC Hub and its services, HTC Sense (not Rosie :D). I use the Titanium Backup. Sense will not be restarted and will have more free RAM;)

The system killing Sense because there is nothing more to kill. Other solutions do not yet see
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
Can you guys make a lite version of the ROM? And let us flash what we need: for example i don't use FACEBOOK, TWITER and all the other bloat, don't use HTC HUB, and i'm sure if these are removed, the there will be no services running...JieeHD made a lite rom and i was very pleased with it, but it had some bugs...

Hope you read this and looking fwd that you will release version 5 in 2 modes: lite and normal ;)

Stefan
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aptemka-74:
This is what we want to do ;) And more thing:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I've never understood why people want lite versions. Isn't it easier to flash full Rom, then delete the apps u personally don't want instead?

sent with love from me to you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aptemka-74:
I agree with you. But unfortunately not everybody can remove the application, someone is afraid, and someone just does not know how to do it. Especially since Lite version is not difficult to do :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
But do you guys think removing twitter and other things would make some difference to the ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
normally I agree with you, although I do agree with the response to your post about people not knowing how to remove apps from system sometimes.

but in the case of THIS rom, a lite version may be the only way to get it running correctly since this rom eats memory for breakfast. Unless you like watching the white HTC rosie loading screen when you quite an app then you'll probably prefer a lite version which hopefully doesn't do that as much.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] CSL00:
Anyone having problems updating Superuser? If i update i can only give permission to one app. This happens if I flash the update package or update from market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aptemka-74:
In fact, for this ROM only remove enough HTC Hub, HTC Sense, report HTC, it are those who work apks as services, and that we either do not use, or use one again. They occupy other space in RAM with system services, on the optimization of RAM does not work focused to unload.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
@all you guys:P

the reason that i find lite versions more useful is that i don't use ADB... I just want to flash a rom and extension if i need to...don't want to spend time removing apps...

and i agree with the part that some people don't know how to remove some apps...and i also think that a fresh rom without modifications after is a better working one...it's kind of like windows after updating it...:))))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
I agree with Stefpaul. Give me a bare bones quick and stable rom and I'll add the apps and tweaks I want.

I'm never 100% sure if removing something will have an adverse effect on the other system utilities. Problems might not show up untill further down the line and I have no idea it was my removing something earlier that caused it. I'd rather use something with the best kit installed...... bin the social network twittery borlox and let the tweets install whichever app they prefer.

I'll give this one a whirl but will wait for a lite version first.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aptemka-74:
We will soon publish the Lite version 4.1 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Aah, forgot that this is Sense and everything is linked together in some ununderstandable way (nice word :-D ). But if someone want to try to delete system apps I recommend root uninstaller from market :-) and if you delete something which messes up the device u can reflash the Rom with cache and dalvik wipe ;-)

sent with love from me to you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Kirill143:
Lite Version!:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
yay lite version! dling now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
ok, it's great, much nicer than full version.

BUT you took out friendstream??? why on earth? that isn't something we can add ourselves, and this is possibly the only rom that has a fully working version of friendstream currently! Don't take out one of the best features of the rom, and a feature that can't be worked around by installing twitter and facebook.

teh twitter and facebook widgets from the market SUCK. the only way to get a sense rom with the rosie UI to have scrollable full screen widget showing facebook OR twitter, let alone both at once, is with the built in htc friendstream widget.

I hope that explains why this is so important to people who actually use social networking, which is everyone but Lira. (haha just kidding Lira :-)

edit: oh, and please please put that back in LoL. :-) in case I wasn't clear. But I do really like the new rom version, it's much quicker to configure and so far is running really well! I'll try to live with it for a while though which is where I normally start running into issues.

I hope this continues to be as fun to use over time as it is right now! but with friendstream... ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stefpaul:
+1 in not using social networking on the phone:))))

So it seems that i was right...a lite version works better:D

@russian guys - Thanks for the req, looking fwd for 5.0:P

Stefan
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
Whats the lite version like for memory?

Might as well d'load n see for myself.

SalsaSense worked well for me so if this is better/faster/slicker it might be a keeper.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hero user:
glad to hear that,, go ahead
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Prof Peach:
1st impressions..... this feels really good.... but!

Opening Task manager leaves me feeling a bit flat..... this.... the lite version with no apps installed or running showing 159MB used with 31MB free.....

I'm no expert and by no means a heavy phone user but I foresee app closing issues when anyone tries more than 2 things at once. On a daily basis I use GPS ,Endomondo and music for biking and I can see things struggling.

IMHO this is too much for my little Hero to run with..... so its a no from me.

I'm out!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bukithd:
So my Inc has a weird power button issue. If I slightly touch the button it acts as though I pushed it. My screen comes on a lot due to it.

Ive tried using compressedair to clean out the button area but that's no good. Any way I can fix this without cracking it open?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynisterWolf:
find a case that covers the button and makes it harder to push like a silicon case?

did you ever spill a liquid on the phone?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bukithd:
No spills, I just seems to bewearing out. I have a couple of cases but neither really help.

It actually seems to work better if I slightly touch it and not physically push it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynisterWolf:
i bet there is lint or something in the button. they only way to know for sure is to crack it open. :(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bukithd:
I still have it under warranty with best buy. Should I just go get a new phone? I'm not gonna void my warranty and still pay for it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SynisterWolf:
if you still have a warranty then i would see what they can do for you. i dont think they will have an Inc for you they might have you upgrade to a device that is the same value. i would talk to them. cant hurt right?

the warranty is for geek squad right?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bukithd:
Yep black tie coverage. Thats what I decided, I went and waited at best buy for 3 hours today and wound up with a crappy loaner phone (LG Vortex 2.2.2).

Hopefully in a few days I will get the faux upgrade but it is entirely possible that Ill just get a refurb inc.

I will miss the Inc if they don't get me another one.

5000 of the attendees of the BUILD conference were given Sammy Tablets with Windows 8. This is most likely the only public source of the ARM version of Win 8. Please upload what you can, within legal limits...
[Windows 8 General] slimshady322:
That Samsung Tablet wasn't ARM-based I think.
[Windows 8 General] domineus:
Nope it is not arm

I would love an arm dump to get it on touhpad via making install.wim...
[Windows 8 General] Techronico:
It was nVidia based. I'll post the article link in a sec.
[Windows 8 General] Useless guy:
Core i5, that was told at conference.
[Windows 8 General] domineus:
No its not

Its an intel i5 no arm on the Samsung model
[Windows 8 General] RedLineJoes:
Nvidia Tegra 2 and above are ARMv7+ Chips. All Nvidia does it put their name on it. But those are ARMv7 chips. This goes for all the current and future mobile devices. If they are using i5 Intel with the builtin Intel GPU then that's a different story and it's not Nvidia. It's Intel. As far as I know Nvidia's mobile devices are going to be entirely ARM based.

As a matter of fact even Intel uses ARM to a lesser degree with memory managment chips for example. Everyone uses ARM to be specific. There isn't really a chip manufacturer out there that does not deal with ARM Holdings in some form. I'm very interested in putting Windows 8 on ARM so I'm following these threads closely myself. I have yet to see the ARM build and being a dev for MS myself, I have been testing Windows 8, but when I have conference calls with Microsoft and I ask for ARM support, they are telling me the setup is not done yet most likely and the support just isn't ready for developers yet. Stay tuned for sure. It should be a higher build number than 8200 I think.

[Windows 8 General] randomblame:
Nvidia makes the tegra line of arm socs as well as chipsets for x86 and gpus for pcs. lets try not to get their products confused. Nvidia does a lot more than just "put their name on it" They tape out the chip and add their gpu to it. It's a custom implementation of an arm chip based loosely around the "standard" that arm creates. The series 7 slate that was passed out at build is the same series 7 that is going on sale later this month with an i5 in it, it also uses intel graphics. It's x86 aka not arm. Because there is no standard off the shelf arm system I highly doubt they will release any sort of preview arm build. Most likely it will take many many system dumps and a lot of work to get arm windows 8 working fully on devices that did not ship with it.

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

Remember Texas Instruments and Qualcomm are also throwing their hats into the windows 8 ARM(s) race. Don't count them out. Likely each device will have a version of windows compiled specifically for it ala windows mobile. I just don't see any real way around that. Unless they give the different arm chips special drivers and build them all in - but that would make for less efficiency and a waste of storage and more complexity considering that no one is going to be putting a windows 8 dvd into their tablet to install the arm version ever ever ever. I'm thinking this will all be precompiled specifically for each device and it will likely lack certain features like device manager and complicated driver handling controls. This is going to be a pain in the ass.
[Windows 8 General] RedLineJoes:
It is not confusing because I was only speaking on Nvidia ARM SoCs, not anything else they do. Ye have little faith if you think Microsoft can't bring a mutli kernalized version of Windows 8 to market for all the different platforms similar to what Linux/Android already does.

The big buzz about Windows 8 when we first started talking about it with Microsoft was "kernalized versions with ARM support". That's right from the horses mouth. I sure hope they deliver on that more than anything else. And seeing as how I help make the OS what it is, i'll be testing the functionality eventually. Due to NDA you aren't allowed to say much about it though until these types of releases become available to the general public and developers. Then we can discuss what works and what doesn't with the people who plan to actually use it and make applications for it.

Hi

Just wanted to share with you a little something I do that works for me.

Every time we wipe everything and flash a new ROM, the ROM flies. But a lot of us (not all of us) start noticing that after we start changing settings, installing apps, uninstalling apps, and so on, a little sluggishness can occur, as can obviously be expected. One thing I persoanlly do, is after I install all my programs back onto the phone, is go back into recovery, wipe my Dalvik and cache, (I use morfic's dalvik wiper, thanks to him for that):

https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/dalvik-wiper-1.zip?w=259589c0

and simply re-install my ROM, without a factory data reset.

I've tried just wiping the dalvik and cache and rebooting, but doesn't seem to do the same for some reason. Someone much more intelligent than I and more knowledgeable than I could provide that reason I'm sure :-p

Just want to get some feedback if this seems to improve the usability of the ROM for other people as well after a crapload of installed apps. Post a post, let me know :)

Ciao!
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
if you follow this topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1263276

you will find more info on what actually works
[Nexus S General] markywylder:
Thanks Allgamer :)

I have read this thread in the past, however, finding a rogue app that slows phone/eats battery or managing the amount of apps Installed etc is not what I was aiming for. I found that reinstalling the ROM itself again AFTER such suggestions in your thread for example (which are great ideas, i use dropbox myself) really seems to help.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
clearing my dalvik regularly helps keep my phone in tiptop performance. i wont even reflash the rom, just flash that dalvik-wiper.zip or delete the dalvik files manually with root explorer(then reboot immediately) when i have a spare minute.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
titanium backup has that option to clean the dalvik cache

no need to do any fancy stuff to clear that
[Nexus S General] simms22:
true, but yet not true. it does have an option to "clean" your dalvik, but it doesnt wipe your dalvik. when you actually wipe your dalvik, the system rebuilds it fresh when you boot up. heres a screenshot of titanium backups dalvik clean, lol. you can wipe your dalvik in recovery too, but clockwork recovery doesnt wipe all the files, twrp recovery wipes the dalvik though.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
good point, yes that is true

i often have to end up manually deleting other system / apps left over junks as well, specially for stuff that was uninstalled already, but they leave dalvik stuff behind and on the sd card as well, inside android, and other similar places
[Nexus S General] markywylder:
The SD card junk is definitely a problem. I find that SD Maid works well if you use it properly.

I think that because as you say, there is junk left over in android after uninstalling programs , that a re-flash of the ROM helps clean some of it up while still keeping all of your apps you want untouched. Please correct me if I am wrong?
[Nexus S General] simms22:
sd maid is a nice app, ive used it before.
[Nexus S General] donkristo:
Hi, I tried to find this dalvik-cleaner.zip on my self but had no luck so far. Could s/o maybe tell me where to get it? Thanks in advance

Will that improve stability on the phone?, I mean cleaning the Dalvik?, will that help eliminating the random freezes while using BT? or games or the browser (all this is random probably once every 2 or 3 days)

[Nexus S General] markywylder:
With issues like random reboots or freezes you should probably check into the kernel or rom you are using if others in those threads are having the same reboots/freezes while performing the same actions. Obviously never hurts to do the wipe though.
