Hope this post will clarify things up.

Swap is virtual ram. Basically, it is file usually placed on the SD card that can act as RAM. When the system runs out of RAM, processes that are inactive can be swapped into swap thus freeing up more RAM. The disadvantage of this is that even though RAM increases, performance decreases and it might wear down the SD card faster.

Note: I am talking about a swap file. Swap file and Swap partition do pretty much the same thing.

Newcomers don't like searching. Most of them. Even a basic word like swap...

Nie widziałem tego za pierwszym razem bo pisałem właśnie swojego posta gdy ktoś wystawiał link.

Zobaczyłem link dopiero po napisaniu swojego posta, przeczytałem to wtedy ale zapomniałem wy-edytować mojego posta.

Mimo wszystko dzięki za link i pomoc :)

I didn't see the link first time because I was writing my post when someone post link.

I saw link after posting a read that.

I forgot to edit my post.

But thanks anyway for Help :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Sew00:
Thanks, now i get.

I'm starting to fell attracted to this custom kernel.

Thanks for the reply but i did read all the topic. Still, no one clarified the way you did.

I always use the search button. I just wanted to have an answer from people i trust.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] gxaris:
i dont agree with you. i dont think that anyone DOESNT know what swap is. But we ALL (or most of us) wonder how to enable/use this feature with the kernel u are building. I know that noone HAS to explain how to use the swap in your kernel but i think it would help a lot for noobies like me, if there was a small how-to of how to use the kernel (not just flash it, but use all of its features)

I work in IT department for more than 15 years but yet i still dont have a clue of how to use the swap. Do i just make a swap partition? do i use an app from market that makes a swap file? will this automatically been seen from the kernel?

On the other hand, i DO agree that this is a developers thread, and people should write their experience with the kernel, give some advice to the programmers, and offer debugging information. Noone should use this thread to say "thank you DX nice work", or requests of the type "can i have this...that..." and fill the thread with junk!!!

I am one of the hundreds of people that uses DX's ROM and of course i am grateful for what he gives us, asking nothing return, and i have thanked him with all the means that i had available. But i am not going to spam "thank you thank you thank you" in a thread that is NOT meant for that!!!

PS: dont misunderstand me, i am not attacking anyone :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Did you try this simple thing? My search showed this as the first result.

Everything is clearly explained: what swap is, should we use it, apps to enable swap, even how to know swap is enabled or not.

Isn't that simple for newcomers?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
smartass smartassv2 and minmax governors are not work to me. i have go phone reboot when i'm trying to use one of them.

Tested on gdx v14.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Sew00:
I didn't wanted to ask but i'll do it anyway. I couldn't find an answer through the search button.

When bootloader wasn't yet unlocked, i read a lot of comments saying that with a custom kernel we could be able to enable multi-touch.

Now, is that true?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
For cypress is enabled by module.

For Synaptic that is not true. This is only a dream. Only noobs says that is possible.

Build in Dual Touch Drivers in Custom Kernels are based on the modules for stock kernel, so they have the same functionality as insmoded module to stock kernel.

If you have synaptic please stop dreaming about Real Dual Touch. Custom Kernels can't provide more than module can do for DualTouch.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Kurinkita:
If you have Synaptics and really want real DT, the only thing you can do is change the digiter with a Cypress one.

One day, I will try to get my hands on a Cypress digitizer and I will change mine to see if it's that easy, I think I should also worry about the drivers.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Sew00:
I really don't care that much. I don't even play on my cel.

I just wanted to know if that was true or not.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DAXGr:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bagers:
Could you activate tun and IPv6 please?

Some Benefits:

No matter that IPv6 isn't supported by most of our broadband and 3g providers, it doesn't matter. There are free IPv6 tunnel providers.

With IPv6 Torero it would be even possible to host servers even behind unconfigured NAT. Servers could run even on 3g. Direct connections, even 3g to 3g would be possible.

For example, if your phone gets lost or stolen, and you installed an SSH / VNC server, you could SSH / VNC your phone, you can still connect to your phone, no matter if connected behind NATed WiFi or NATed 3g. It opens the possibility to develop servers for the phone (which run also on 3g) and remote lock/wipe apps without untrusted third party servers.

Because he obviously didnt have time to fix it or wasn't able to!!!!! He has a life you know, he's not doesnt live just to make you happy!

@DX could you include oc in future releases? i know you dont use but for people that do we can't install it ourselves :( just a small request. Your kernel is amazing though :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ithunter:
confused !!!

is CWM inbuild? it means if my dvs is brick i dont need SEUS ? #happpie
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fabiosilva:
I really want to give a try to this Kernel, but I need WiFi very much, so I'll wait for a version that works with WiFi.

For now I'll stay with Stock Kernel and GingerDX V14.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nobodyAtall:
BFS time :D

Dx, how does it perform latency-wise? Any comparisons with CFS on you x8?

Mind that benchmark results are expected to drop a bit but who cares if responsiveness is improved, right? ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Tobi@s:
Nice release DX (:

Works fine for me but I need WiFi badly...

Anyone has latest stock-kernel for me?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] AntwnhsAnt:
Just flash the latest baseband! (015) :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
For me responsiveness is improved. Smoother than my friend SGS in touches, scrolls, etc... :eek:

i realy want to install LinuxDX, but wifi does'nt work!!:(:(:(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
So be patient. It's only v002. Simple as that. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dimbata:
Sorry for the STUPID question Dx... but when you find a way to fix the WiFi problem ... can you add the overclock in the kernel because with the performance we got now .. if it is a little bit faster it'll be perfect! :)

Edit: This is just a question! I know you are not a fan of overclock :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeFcOn:
in other Kernels wifi is work in version 1! :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SpyderX:
Ok. So why don't you recompile wifi module for us to use then? Then people like you will stop whining.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ithunter:
one thing is sure about this kernel and root apps... root apps are little slow on this kernel...

my backup pro is tooooo slow :(

now with stock kernel its like super :)

also i got maximum ram on stock kernel.. but fake pinch zoom dont work :(

how can i make it to work?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] RockitOut11:

Kernel and Wi-Fi

Do not know if I had already spoken. his (kernel) is based on the source of Free Xperia, I think you could look at the rom him, I say this because (rom FXP) + (FXP Kernel) = Wi-Fi Works!

Do not get me wrong, it's just a warning that custom kernel operates Wi-Fi.

And I'm sorry for bad english. (Google Translator)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SpyderX:
Then, don't start pleading in here for doixanh to fix WiFi because other kernels have WiFi fixed in 1st version. It's simple. You want WiFi, don't use this kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matii_ziomek:
Maybe WiFi work with WiFi libs from FreeXperia rom?

finally unlocked the bootloader

phew.. finally unlocked the bootloader and installed LinuxDx 002.was scared to death that i would hard brick the phone. :eek: but all went fine. :)

first thing i noticed is that the boot time is reduced considerably. :D but the phone freezes sometimes and i have to remove the battery to restart it. m using GingerDX v14 and will update to v15 tonight. just have a question though. does constant flashing of the kernel and roms cause problems to the phone? :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] terranox:
the phone is very slow with linuxdx v2, and gingerdx v15
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pranavsg07:
i too noticed that. its sometimes fast and sometimes slow. even when scrolling through homescreens.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] terranox:
and the keyboard is slow
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dimbata:
About SLOWNESS :)

I think that the slow "performance" is caused by the BFS :)

I think the solution is adding overclock (just to try it could be possible to fix the "GLITCHES" )
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DerEineDa:
Is there a way to flash a kernel using Linux? FlashTool seems to be a windows-only application, but I don't have access to a windows-machine.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] junixquiaoit:
I disagree about slowness guys. its super smooth!

NOTE: do not use KAK (KickAssKernel tweak) this causes lag with this kernel. :D

for overall good performance do not add anymore tweaks, DXs tweaks is already the best.

Thanks Dx
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pranavsg07:
the keyboard is fine for me. i m using slideit keyboard.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rafael.Baugis:
I was not clear and you judge me the same sentence with the usual improvements that everyone will be charging developers, but it is not my case!

I'll make it clear and express myself better!

I'm sure there's nothing wrong with the kernel, but with the roms are not loading the module and interface tiwlan correct.

I find it strange (DX) have put warning BUG: Wi-Fi here in LinuxDX.

I tested the kernel FXP with most ROMs here on XDA, and one that works on Wi-Fi is the FXP own!

Now I ask.

The module tiwlan is not good to be used in GingerDX?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dimbata:
I don't think that the KickAssKernel tweak is launched ... or i am wrong?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] exebreez:

calm down... in their defence, DX could have put "WiFi not working with any rom" or something similar. simply putting "WiFi" as a bug can mean many things...

remember, u were a noob once too :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
i'm sorry, but for me put only wifi, means in this kernel wifi don't work, so, if don't work, it means don't work with any rom, but it's for me.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grhand82:
Back a few months ago in my noobness I bricked my glacier trying to permaroot. I ended up with a fubar eMMC and pu failed while trying to recover the device. I let it sit for a while and decided that since I spent plenty of cashola on the device that I'd send it in to HTC and see what they'd do. So happens that they fix that issue (swap out your bad motherboard with a new one) under warrenty. SO anyone with a bad eMMC due to bricking during perma root process rejoice. Get it fixed for free.

On the flip side, here is where I need help. Had the device back for 2 days. Didn't even toss in my sim. loaded with ADW eX, google +. some other market place stuff and Simply Lockscreen. Didn't attempt any kind of temp or permanent root to the device. Went to show my wife a pic I took of the kids, and what do you know, the device is unresponsive. Touch screen will not work so I couldn't unlock the device. Pulled the battery and rebooted. The reboot took 3 min in the htc boot screen and another 2 at the mytouch screen. THEN flashed at me that the battery was out and shut down. Plugged in and rebooted, same 5 minute timed load up, no shutdown but unresponsive touch screen again. Booted it up again and same thing 3 more times.

Booted into hboot and chose factory reset. First time reboot was slow as to be expected. Ended up with the exact same issues. Repeated reboot 3 more times. No dice.

Irritated that it took HTC 2 weeks to get this back to me (but thankful that it was free) but pissed that it is FUBAR all over again, this time not my fault. Any one have a similar issue or possible fix or am I sending this back to HTC?

Thanks.

(I hope I posted this in the right forum lol)

PS I passed my noobness a while back and I am sure this was not do to user error.

Thanks community, keep on keeping on.

hello devs,

I just finished my first round with Week Calendar: I always used to organize myself by looking at week calendar views, either on Outlook, PalmOS, WM6.5 or iPhone (3rd party apps). I missed it on WP7, that's why I developed this app. Week Calendar reads Phone Appointments from your defined accounts, the same read by standard Calendar app, although it is a separate app. I've put all of my efforts to follow the Metro UI style of WP7 Calendar. I also added a tile with a nice graphical preview of current week appointments: hope you like it.

Week Calendar is available on the Marketplace at €0,99 with a trial edition. it requires Mango to run. the app is available in English, German and Italian.

I'm looking for Spanish and France translations: PM me if you are interested to arrange a contribution (just a few strings to translate, nothing special).

there's a video on youtube, search for "week calendar wp7": I'll add a link here whenever xda will permit me.

version 2.0 is now available! it features a new search function and the ability to choose which accounts to use.

this is the complete changelog:

•[fix] sometimes settings were not saved

•[fix] improved rendering of an event; no more confusion between click for appointment details and swipe gesture.

•[fix] private appts lacks 'private' label in the grid event

•[fix] removed limit of 100 appointments retrieved for each week

•initial screen removed (I prefer this way…)

•dialog to send email in case of errors removed (totally unuseful in my opinion)

•new appointments search function, with time interval and accounts selection

•new Accounts pane in Settings: choose the accounts to use and their colors

•week grid adjusts its initial position basing on current time

•new 'Show private appointments' option

•now the tile filters events basing on selected appointments

•Improved rotation and related effects

there is more to improve, so support this app giving positive feedbacks! follow me on twitter @WeekCalendarWP7.
