i think the only thing u didnt try to get working is the panal preview ... but thats to make the rom perfect ...

i been using v3.6 since the 1st day of release ... on the long run of use i got 2 problems ...

1st is after 3 or 4 days the free memory start decreasing and that makes the phone lag and freeze sometimes even though i have app killer to close any apps not in use ....

2nd thing is an error with the wifi which stopped connection ... i donno what happend made it that way

my only request is u and dan try to join the guy who started porting the ICS 4 sense 4 .... and if he didnt succeed u and dan start developing ICS 4 to be the last ver of android working on HD2

No requests, just nice to hear Dan's ok and hopefully his health worries are over.

I've got the Xperia S now but kept my hd2 with Dan's Rom on it in case I need it ;-)

@Dunc001

Dunc, concerning your question for improvements: I already suggested to Dan to start over anew. Do something fresh. Swap to Windows Phone development. It's bloody cool. I am loving it at the moment. Just the horrific Battery... god i wish that got fixed...

Otherwise, i'd recommend to try to work out the initial lag and i think your idea about the zipalign is going into that direction. Although i am very sure apps from the market come already zipaligned and the market is NOT actually doing it but i might be wrong. I am just guessing. But it must be something like that since there always where lags when installing apps.

My theory goes a slightly different way: since apps are installed to SD-EXT, the process is highly dependent on the capabilities of the SD. If the SD has bad compatibility and/or low IO figures, it blocks the ROM from working correct while writing the Dalvik app and the Apk to the SD-Ext. When done so, the phone will come back. So, a different Cache setting might influence this. This could also explain why it got worse with the latest release as that has some tweaks to the SD-Interaction. Sounds reasonable?

Dunc, the Sattelite Fix can be sped up by using Crypted's gps.conf. It's really doing its thing well and if you have stable data or wifi while it runs its first fix plus clear sky view it will lock within around 20 secs and with each subsequent even within 2-4 secs. But your values are pretty much as good as it gets actually.

I think You are really right with concept for Dalvik and Cache ! I'm not so familiar with android, but from 15 years working with linux (as server platform) and can say caches need to be on fastest storage. Memory card are bloody slow on IOPS (input/output operations per second) and this is very, very bad for all types of caches. Someone will say "But my card is class 10". Yes, but NO. Class 10 is really fast for memory card, but for streaming read and write (mean big files like video, audio, photos and so on). For work with many small files (mean intensive I/O) like cache - they are disgustingly slow. If You take a look over this tread will see 98% from problem on people are depend from bad or slow or not correct partitioned memory card. Another my own statistics - 90% from problems with this and any other sense rom are with EU phones. All sense roms have some lag, FC, high battery consumption and so on, and i think in many cases this is caused from memory card. I also make a experiment with different memory cards and can say difference in speed, stability and power consumption is great from card to card. If look back in time - first sense roms (android 2.2 and sense 2, who worked from nand only) are fast and stable.

Another my statistic - many of CM7 and ICS roms work really brilliant on our phones. Yes, they have some troubles, but speed and stability are caused from lack dependency from memory card.

I tried many times to install TMOUS rom on my EU, but with not success. I'm not so familiar with android and don't have so time for experiments, but if someone can strip TMOUS rom to fit in nand on EU - will glad to test and report. I using my EU phone every day with great load - today have 95 min. summary call time, 28,12 mb data over 3G, 12 sms and 32 missed calls. Weather is set to sync on 1 hour, media volume at max, brightness at max, data - always on. At end of day battery are on 9%. Think this is great, but think we can more!

So.. i think if Dan (and other masters) move cache and dalvik in nand and patch rom to install all user apps on sd-ext (like any other little android phone with Link2SD or App2SD) any rom will gain performance and stability (also think and lower battery drain).

P.S.

Many, many thanks for Dan for brilliant work and Mark for excellent kernel !

But.. think with little bit of change of concept we will get more from our phones.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
I have had two class ten cards and one class 6.

Both class 10 cards are very bad on IOPS and good on sequential r/w.

the class 6 is a lot better on IOPS and not as good on sequential r/w.

The class 10 cards cause issues, but the Samsung is a lot worse than the Mustang (which has now been destroyed unfortunately). Thus i cannot determine the difference between them anymore.

I remember that cache had once been on the NAND (do i remember right?) while the Dalvik Cache has always been on EXT.

To add to my previous post's theory: in a scenario, where the Cache sits on the same drive as the Dalvik Cache as well as the apk-store of the system, the installation of an App will make use of the SD read/write 3 times for the same app. It will read from the download cache, write the apk and write the dalvik virtual machine image all at the same time. To me, this sounds like an IOPS heavy process. To me, this sounds like really bad for SD-Cards.

If the Cache could be moved back on NAND for an experiment we would see more. How about that Dansta34? What do you say?

One thing i don't understand: the Phone's memory is an MLC NAND type flash too. Does it have much better IOPS? And if yes, why? Is it the yaffs file system that compensates for the bad nand properties?

try rebooting the phone whilst holding volume down to enter a 3 colour screen, once it has the text up the top, check for hspl ...

then connect USB and down the bottom serial should change to USB let windows install drivers then try again

also disable your anti virus
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
@Gecata:

Thanks for your explanation. Will think it through.

@Alex: that sentence "check for SPL..." certainly means "Check for HSPL" right? Because once that dude is in TriColor Screen the first thing to do would be to flash HSPL if he hasn't gotten it yet... so was that what you wanted to say?

The next thing would be to check whether or not he's got the right drivers. For the RUU, the normal Active Sync Drivers would do, which he'd have if he had WinMob on the phone before. But if not, it might be he's lacking those drivers and then he can't install.

There's an endless chain of possibilities and if he dont tell nothin bout how and what he did we can talk till the universe collapses.

Mister Fly,

did you try to load Magloader by means of the LEOadvancedRUU or with the original DWI.exe flasher from Cotulla?

Have you gotten any firewall warnings or do you have a firewall at all? Try to switch it off...

Is your phone in the right mode? e.g. TriColor-Screen? (press power-button and keep vol down pressed until you see three colors on screen)

Have you installed HSPL?

Have you read any of my documents? There is a lot of info in there. If you didn't read through the Documents i'd rather not support you until you have done so. Please do, and if you have any question remaining afterwards, please come back and ask. I or someone else will then gladly assist you with your issue.

Hallo dansta. Thank you for your rom. I use it sincethe begining. I have read all the posts. Realy many posts. But my phone starts to get slower and slower. I don't now why. I use TBD Rom 3.6 MGLDR 7/185/7 Eu with 1024 MB Ext4, 128 MB Swap, wake min 245, wake max 1190 smartassV2, Sleep min 128, Sleep max 384 smartassV2, Transcend 8GB class 6, sd boost 2048, 4Ext Recovery. I use lots off Apps ca 70. But this Problem starts in version 3.5. Lots of FC like titanium Backup. I have mate a Task 29 also from scratch. But the Problem is the same. I have changed sd boost configuration, nothing. The sd card? But i can buy each half year a card. Whats the problem? Ok thats not the only problem.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
What you don't mention is how much RAM you have left. It is quite possible that the cache is using up your available space and this will eventually cause the problems you are experiencing. Easiest way to resolve this is to either clear the cache using RCMix Tweaks or the option to "make more space" in Settings, Storage.

I personally never use zram or swap as, in my experience, these slow the system down (too many read/writes to the SD card).

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

See my response above. The more apps installed and being used the greater the cache as most apps will allocate their own space so always helpful to clear this regularly. Obviously, the more apps you have installed the less space available.

Not sure I agree about the Adobe Flash update as this has never caused me any problems.

I set my min frequency at 245 and max at 11136 using SmartassV2 governor without any problems. I have actually overclocked to 13824 without problem but this will obviously exhaust your battery quicker. Each phone can react differently to the various settings. It's always best to try different settings to determine what is best for your phone. ;)

If you are using ver 3.6 then zram isn't used. Swap can only be disabled by deleting it and re-installing the ROM - unless someone else knows of a way to do this without deleting (possibly changing the script to ignore swap). I never create a swap file so its never used, simple as that.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gecata:
There is two way's to disable swap:

1. Delete "02enableswap" from /system/etc/init.d folder and restart

Move dalvik to /data

Hi Sqash, all,

i don't have a solution for the known bugs, but i can offer my script which moves dalvik-cache to /data/dalvik-cache.

I didn't tested it much, but i think it may help to improve the overall responsivity.

Ideally, you will feel a tremendous acceleration when restarting the Rom and while starting/using apps.

I have the impression that it speeds up the whole Rom, even the UI parts.

But this might be a subjective impression and depends of course on other factors such as overclocking settings or sd card class.

Btw.: My settings are Daemon Controller Wake 384000/1305600/smartassV2 and Sleep 384000/537600/ondemandx

It bases on the original v3.5 and v.3.6 system/etc/init.d/04apps2sd modified by me, which only changes the location of dalvik-cache.

It's the only modification in it, to ensure the Rom is behaving like the original on all other parts.

If moving the dalvik-cache back to /sd-ext it uses the original system/etc/init.d/04apps2sd as provided by the Rom.

It's an update.zip and it can be applied as usual in CWM. Firstly it asks if you really want to apply the patch.

If yes, it asks you where to put dalvik-cache - if no, it does not touch the Rom.

Well, ... the patch has two options, as mentioned before:

move dalvik-cache to /data/dalvik-cache

move dalvik-cache (back) to /sd-ext/dalvik-cache (which is EU v.3.5 or v.3.6 flash default)

There are some things you should note:

This patch was made for the EU v3.5 or v3.6 of this Rom only!

This patch is a very early beta release, which may not work as expected!

So i strongly recommend to do a backup of the Rom, before applying this patch.

This patch, especially it's main feature to move dalvik-cache to /data may not work if:

You have less than 40-50% space free on /data before using the patch, so dalvik cache might not fit on /data.

Your current cache management differs from the one provided by this Rom.

You're using another "app2sd" like script which interfers negatively with this patch.

If you tried to move dalvik-cache to /data and the operation was unsuccessful, you can try to apply the patch again.

Use the option "move it to /sd-ext (default)" to move dalvik back to /sd-ext.

Please let me know if it worked (and better not if not :D)

Good luck,

best wishes and some feedback

Dansta

your personal health and well being is far more important than our desire for a slightly better phone. Lets get things into perspective here, you have already done a fantastic job in keeping the HD2 alive.

If however you ignore the advice and do decide to play with the ROM once more permit me to offer some feedback.

Despite using the APN settings for o2 as provided by their web site I had problems receiving texts on both the stock and themed ROM. I had the wife text me about 20 times, less than 10 made it through to my phone. I confirmed the same at work with colleagues only 50% were getting through.

I have now rolled back to stock 3.5 (I prefer the themed but a change is as good as a rest - note to self, change signature!). I do not appear to have missed any texts, or at least not from the wife!

I have checked the APN settings on 3.5 as opposed to 3.6 and they appear identical so I have absolutely no idea why its not working correctly, but them again I am no expert.

o2 give their mms proxy settings as 193.113.200.195 on their website but your settings on 82.132.254.1 works fine. O2 also have the APN name as O2 Pay Monthly MMS as opposed to teh O2 MMS on the rom. I am loathed to change the settings you have provided at the risk of buggering something up!

A bit of info for next build if it helps.

I see discussions of not receiving SMSes are still going on. Its worth repeating that APN settings have *nothing* to do with getting an SMS, and *everything* to do with getting an MMS or surfing the internet. Try this: put 0.0.0.0 (or any other values for the octet that you like) in your APN and try sending and receiving a text. You could even delete all APNs and you will see that you get the text. Of course, MMS and internet will not work.
