[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierut:
I wasn't asking if I was correct or not. I was asking if anyone had enabled swap. This has added performance for other android devices and I really don't see how this device is any different.

I'm sure there is a plethora of ways to handle ram, however I doubt that most people know these methods, myself included.

In reference to name-calling, a `slap in the face with the shovel of logic` might not be name-calling but it is certainly along the same lines.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unfnknblvbl:
Heh.

Swap is really only useful when your system is running out of free RAM frequently. I used to enable swap on my HTC Magic back in the day because of how little RAM it had. Nowadays though, it's not a problem - the Transformer has roughly five times the memory of my old Magic. Android is (in general) really light in its memory hunger, thanks to its intelligent paging system (inactive apps are paged out of main memory and remain in a suspended state).

Are you actually seeing situations where your device is running out of memory? I've never come across one. Just sayin' :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierut:
i have instances that i assume are due to a lack of memory. laggyness of the ui... and the browser crashing when there is a resource intensive flash application running.
[Captivate General] thunderix:
Hi all . Lets share everyone the experience about baterry life on each rom, custom rom and what to do for improving the problems with battery . Of course , maybe you will have suggestions about apps or tunning to improve battery life .

For begining i share mine experience so far . I flashed my captivate with cm7.1 . In standby (just standby) without touch the phone,data off , the battery is now 75% sience 16 hours . I just look at battery status and then turn off screen . I not receive anything : call,sms,mail etc . Lets hear about your battery life and suggestion in this thread .
[Captivate General] Jules.Winnfield:
With stock gingerbread rom and go launcher my battery loses about 2% an hour with average use. I have push turned on, gps off, and auto rotate off.

Without turning the screen on I lose 1% every two hours.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
If you lost 25% over 16 hrs, that's about 1.5% an hour. That's acceptable for cm7/MIUI. Be happy, some people would love to have that.
[Captivate General] thunderix:
I am little happy , cause was just in standby 16 hours . But if i use the phone its maybe 16 hours until 0% :)) . Anyway ty for replays . I am wondering if any rom have same battery life .
[TouchPad General] drt054:
I posted this issue on the official issues page but it was deleted because apparently nobody else in the entire community (Google Code) has this problem after it being posted for only 5 min. SetCPU is freezing my tablet on startup right after the message "SetCPU has been granted Super User Permissions". I had o/c'd to 1.512 ghz not even the full o/c but this keeps happening. I was finally able to uninstall setCPU and no further issues. Has this happened to anybody else?
[TouchPad General] anh_oii:
I had a problem where it would freeze right after setcpu received SU permissions. Turned I I fixed it by changing my min to anything but 432mhz... I only had a few seconds to switch the settings on boot before setcpu would lock up.
[TouchPad General] smokenbiskits:
I've had the problem, set settings at boot cause of the freeze and restart. I'm going to try a different program. It would be nice to see smartass as an option also
[TouchPad General] itzike:
I had to completely wipe and reflash the alpha. It froze even after disabling setcpu
[TouchPad General] drt054:
I unchecked the "set on boot" which seems to have fixed for now but did have to reinstall due to other so-called "fixes" I have found to be useless in "other" forums.

sent from my HP Touchpad powered by CyanogenMod 7.1 alpha :D
[TouchPad General] wjdunn3:
Your not alone...I had the same issue with Set CPU. I just have to leave the "Set at Boot" unchecked...and thus manually set it each time I reboot. but, hey...that's to be expected for an alpha version.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
Common guys we need more developers for our galaxy mini.. Its really jealous to see galaxy 5 to be ahead of our mini in terms of ROM making and other improvements.. For our device there is only one recognized developer tj_style.. We need more.. We need to make a group of some senior members and start some serious developing for our mini.. I would be contacting some senior members namely tj_style(obviously),parasmi,roofrider,r33p and many more.. Those who know some advanced editing and other stuffs plzz post on this thread that u r ready..

DONT MESS THIS THREAD.. AND NO OFF TOPIC TALKS PLEASE
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] malwarebyte:
im new to android but i know how to programm maybe i can help if u need something
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kaizone:
very good , to be more ROM for Galaxy mini
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
hahaa....u shud remove my name frm there. i dont know linux and coding. but a few do know like distan7 and netas3k...but it's not easy to just develop or port a rom. takes time wen ur a beginner and no1 has that kind of time.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
M just asking u to be in the group.. Don't u think we need some hopes..?? I know its difficult but we can try..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] malwarebyte:
im interested now in developing roms and stuff for android but what program to use to compile and decompile apk files...for now i use change extension but it doesnt work with compiling files
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
Wait dude.. Don't get so excited.. Wait for the experts to get ready..!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Manphius:
From what i understand (which is not much) r33p was doing a great job with his MiniMod X rom but he quitted when emanoN rom came out. He said his work wasn't needed anymore and he was gonna try other phones.

I say, lests bring this guy back because he seams to know what he is doing.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] malwarebyte:
just wanted to see what's in apk files to know before doing something
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
apktool.

apkmanager is more user friendly.

just do a search, u'll find the thread
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
I was going through the miui forums.. And it seems that there is no hope that they will port their ROM for our device.. Can we try that??
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Netas3k:
crazy_k_p,

We can't port the MIUI ROM to our device without the source code.... And well it's closed-source and the MIUI team won't give the code. Asked already.... So MIUI is no go.... Tried without the code but since it is made for HDPI screens and our is LDPI so.... Doesn't even boot...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
tried porting villian rom or darky's rom??
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
Yeah I read about that some days back.. But I also found that a group of developers tried to port miui ROM for galaxy 3.. But they left the project in between.But it seems that they made a huge progress in porting that..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
Thanks for the invitation!! But, I don't think I am the suitable candidate for this..

I agree with Manphius... We should get the real talent on the road. If he agrees, maybe netask and he and few others who are actually good at linux and android can do it. I am a windows software developer --currently starting to develop apps for android-- and i know very less on linux and its command line.:)

Also, I don't have sufficient time as its need huge research to develop roms and moreover to learn linux from beginning is very hard. I have a dual boot with linux but use it rarely (one can say never too :D). But, if you guyz are doing it I am ready to support you guyz and help to the extent I can. :)

Good Luck to you all!! But, I really don't have that much talent to develop a rom. :p

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

Can't you try porting the MIUI rom made for galaxy family devices such as galaxy s, galaxy 3, etc? I think it will easier since these device have similar characteristic and we might even be able to get the code of the ported MIUI rom....

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
Thanx for atleast supporting us dude.. N galaxy s is armv7 I think so it won't run on our mini.. but I have downloaded the miui for galaxy s.. Would try to research on it..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
@crazy_p_k

No problem man! Am ready to help always... Which OS do you use?

Here are some article for those who might want to learn more on compiling might want to read...

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
Thanx for those articles.. They r really helpful.. M on windows and use Linux Ubuntu through vmware.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] squadzone:
I have started development kernel you can see from my signature below, :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] parasmi:
Will help if I can.

I tried porting a stock Sense ROM once, I only got it to boot (stuck at lockscreen)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
It's great that you are sharing your knowledge with everyone... I had one thing to ask. Can this be done with Cwygin on windows?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] distan7:
IMO, it's better to use a full Linux Distro. Buy a 16GB USB Flashdisk then install Ubuntu in it. You can google for how-to do that.

---------------------------------

CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC2-KANG by squadzone
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nishanty13:
If you want to stick to windows you can also use 'Gow' an alternative to Cwygin.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
With VMware can we use Windows and Linux side by side, I mean with shutting down the computer...

If that is possible it would be very nice... I have linux partition on dual boot so I have to reboot my computer each time I want to go to Linux.

:)

If you can please provide the link for it too... -- I can search for it myself though-- I have heard lot about VMware and Virtual Box so wanted to give a try. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
Well we need u here.. But it would be great if we work in a group and not individually.. Isn't it??
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
Thanx parasmi.. U r really needed here..!!! What about trying the new ice cream sandwich for our device??

U can get it from filehippo.com

Dont u think its better to talk about this in private and not on this thread..?? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tj_style:
The problem, there is not available MIUI Rom that compiled on armv6, all MIUI ROM is compiled on armv7. that's why MIUI rom can't boot on galaxy mini :(

Sent from my FIH-FB0
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nanotechx:
Can someone port icecream in mini?It would be really nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] distan7:
Currently my only linux machine is my Galaxy Mini via ADB (or maybe you could also count Dsixda kitchen running under cygwin on my WinXP as a linux machine too), so I'm afraid I can't help much when it comes to building sources / compiling / porting.

Squadzone, maybe you can help ? I'm using your OC Kernel for CM7 and it works great even on tj_style's CM7 release (as long as you use OnDemand Governor). Maybe you can share a tutorial on how to build CM7 ? You once told me that you used different library than the one used by tj_style.

But if anyone ever needed a testbed, hey, me and my Galaxy Mini is at your service, even for Alpha-Testing.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
Wait, man. Maybe Samsung will release it officially since there are some news that most Gingerbread devices will get the upgrade to ICS.

To parasmi: Maybe you can try to port Sense ROM again with more debugging? It would be very nice to have that ROM.

And also, does anyone know why I get only 20-40 KB/s when downloading Android or CM7 source? (I have ~3 Mbit/s line).
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] squadzone:
yup, i'm working with my team, at andro-id.net,

my friend create a theme and some tweaks

my job is develop kernel :D

so i'm not alone, without my team support, i cant develop this kernel :D

and also TJ_Styles Support too, :D

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

no, i'm not build cm7, i just build some library and module that needed by my kernel, to get stable, you can see on folder lib/module ( but not in system partition ), also diffirent init proccess on boot.img, beside that it still same with TJ_styles cm7,

for tutorial, i know how to build from cyanogen Wiki , and also from github :D

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

same with me bro :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
Can you post the download link for your OC? Does it works with CM7 by tj_style? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Netas3k:
We can't start porting ICS. Because the source isn't out. And since we have official gingerbread and almost all official devices will get ics. We don't need to port it. But if it's not going to be released for us officially me and Motafoca from madteam will try to port it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] squadzone:
just read and click my signature below ( yellow color ) :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
Tried that, it takes me to andro-id.net forum and I can't understand the language used there :mad: Also, I could have translated it but it also ask username and password. So, I thought you would just provide the download link from where I can download them without having to login/signup and to translate the website...:)

---------- Post added at 06:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 AM ----------

Okk.. But, I don't think Mini will get update before two or three years --if it will get ever. Look, they haven't even released gingerbread for most of our devices, its just that we are using same european firmware from samfirmware.com in all our device worldwide and don't know when it will officially release it to most Asian and other countries.:( And then will be the turn of ICS which will take similar time to release cause there are many more important devices --galaxy s2, s -- that needs to be upgraded first.

:)

Since, you have a good idea of porting and compiling, you can share it with us so those who are interested can help you as well as learn it and try to make more different roms. This way we will have many custom roms for galaxy mini. What do you say??

:):)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
thanks crazykp..this thread going great now!!

those who want to learn compiling and porting..i think 1st u need to know linux,shud start by learning that 1st. i cud be wrong cuz i dunno linux.

btw @ squadzone u cud create another thread here for ur cm7 and oc,if u want..it'll be easy.

I'm ready to test too, but very busy in nov. Will be free only in dec.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
cheers dude.. Now there's a hope that we might end up building some cool roms with these brilliant developers.. Darky ROM can be ported isn't it?? Galaxy 5 has a darky ROM.. I would try that.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] squadzone:
Ok, i will create new trit in here so people can read and use :D

here you go CM7 (TJ_STYLES) build 01102011 added lots of fitur with OC

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

ok, done, please cek new thread :D

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------

can you give me where is the link Darky rom for Galaxy 5, i want to try too :D :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nanotechx:
Yes,very much agreed with yagga. There will be no icecream for mini for a huge amount of time(or maybe not{which is more probable}).icecream will be available for many other mid end & high end Samsung droids and also tablets and laptops maybe.so porting is the only option.

Also thanks to netas(&other developers )for your will and courage
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
i dont want ics...waiting for cm8:D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nanotechx:
There will be no cm8 I think(officially),but cm9 is a possibility.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Netas3k:
Wow... Guys you are just pessimistic (some of you are not all of you). Stop whinning... There probably will be ICS for the mini. Why kill the wishes? I recommend now focusing on other rom like VillainROM. Not being sad what maybe will be or not.... We still have to wait for the ICS source code and it will probably be released after the ICS is released for the devices. Cause i think the Honeycomb source code isn't released yet :D . This is a thread for developing and ROMs not whinning.... Respect all of you guys. But c'mon... You get my point :) So anyone has questions or some to say to me what they think about me just say it.... Since i hate liers....
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
CM8 is Honeycomb and there is few chance it will be released. I think CM9 will be released first --As soon as Ice Cream Sandwich Source COde is released. Also, since ICS is a combination of GB and HoneyComb; so CM9 will be much better than CM8.

Believe me Ice Cream Sandwich is very nice. You can view screen shots here http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/10/snapshots-of-ice-cream-sandwich.html

:)

I was so excited, I spent whole day:( exploring Ice Cream Sandwich in Android SDK Emulator.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
+1.. M with u dude... We should focus on other roms also..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] roofrider:
yea..my mistake...i want cm9 :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
I tried to run the camera app from Ice Cream Sandwich in my phone through adb and it says Older SDK Version error. I guess its because the app was made for ICS (SDK-version 14) and our's id GB (10):( . Anyway is it possible to run it in our CM7 by any way...

:)

Also, do you think we can replace the sytem folder inside our CM7 zip with the system folder of say Ice Cream Sandwich and Flash it. :D

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
Can u give me the framework folder of ics if possible.. I m not able to get the ics sdk.. Thanx :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
Its quite a huge folder and xda forum doesn't let it upload it here... I will upload it to 4shared and give you the link... (It might take a while cause I have slow bandwidth:() :)

Hey, what about the apps or the themes do you think we can get them on our cm7?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] crazy_k_p:
I don't think apps would work but we can try the gallery n music app.. I can try to make themes that's y asking u for that folder.. R u uploading the full Android-14 folder or what??
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yagya:
@crazy pk

Here's the framework folder you wanted.

All the Best :)

Can someone tell what are things required you can pm me the details . Any help would be greatfull.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
Those ICS apps require API 14, and 2.3.7 has API 10. I already tried to edit AndroidManifest.xml (Actually I did) but I can't build it back to binary .xml :/ I guess APKTool is not working with new API.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Netas3k:
Hm... Guys there is a tutorial on porting ICS. So guys try it out .... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312595 . I think i'm gonna stay out of your guys development. I hope to join the MadTeam Dev Team. So i will check this thread and watch your progress... And if i'm gonna be critically needed i will help. But that won't happen i'm sure of that :)

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] nishanty13:
Guys you are helping me or not
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] genieass:
Thanks guys for all your enthusiasm.

I am very happy to find that SGM ROMs are graduating from modified stock roms (add and remove binaries, modify scripts) to building binaries from source. Thanks to all of you for the efforts.

God helps those who help themselves. In Android world, God is very obviously google. ;-D

There are several MBs of documentation on Android development by God , errr.. google. And separate set of documentation for each version of android.

You should start with looking at hardware specs - processor, graphics card, touch screen and other input drivers, screen size, etc. Of course, camera, GPS, B/T, FM etc. drivers. Of course, there are plenty of functionality built into the kernel - not just the hardware, like tethering, networking, etc.

Of course, building these should be done within the sdk for the android version you choose.
