Roy, we may give it a test on next week. Btw, I think, that resizing game textures would give much bigger boost that trying to push hw at it's maximum. We might need help of experienced crackers here - to unpack, resize and pack back game textures. If structure of resources is simple - it may be possible to do that by hand.

--

btvbtv is right - switching video driver to mdp mode also disables gui hw acceleration.

Gingerbread has two types of screen off animation - screen dim (default) and crt anim.

Any Java coder around? Our team needs you.

Unfortunately I will not install cf if it breaks anything :(

I have used it on all other devices inc tegra and it has never broke anything...

Reduce textures option would surely fix my lag problem as well :(

Asphalt 6 is available for adreno phones..

If people dont support warez buy it ;) If it doesnt work then you find a warez version.

That way you have paid and are supporting developers :-)
[Streak 5 Android Development] btvbtv:
GPS is easily recoverable by removing cf driver, a matter of reboot. If I was 20 yr younger, reboot was not a show stopper ;)

See only asphalt5 in tmobile market, what carrier have you got?
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Lubo, i'm testing your freshest DSC kernel, and think it's great!

Thank you!

We are ready for 0.62b release, just give me some time to get poll results.

dsteinberg, it figures that i've shared obsolete GingerTrue Light theme version. My sincere apologies, i'll release fresh version on Monday, and wway might share it in Themes section as well.

Gameloft wap store not market version ;)

CF also breaks camera viewfinder for me (white screen)

When 0.62b is released I will make another video for my games thread.

[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Roy, any chance you have a Java developer in friends?

We need quite a simple app with superuser access just to avoid unnessary forks of DSC project in the future.

U have any idea why my keyboards hangs while typing? It pauses for a second then continues working.

Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Well, I dunno if it's related, but I have this issue sometimes I use input textboxes in browser. I input text, and it shows after some timeout. I got quite used to it and still looking for a solution myself.

I do beleive it's webkit engine related, but so far I haven't found any working substitute for that :(
[Streak 5 Android Development] greg9100:
@DSC-Team

Should the streak actually need a QoS service within the kernel?
[Streak 5 Android Development] roy8846:
Dont know anyone except maybe fards sorry...

Have you guys tried a different keyboard??
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
@Greg

I sincerely dunno.

From my point of view, it would only give a bit of load to cpu. Concidering we have a pda, not a router :) But tethering guys could think different. :)

I'm still wanting to try out bfs patch, just thinking it should be configured via config parameter, ifdef like.

That's the reason I don't use swype.

Gingerbread kb from market is ok, russisn kb even better.

2 Roy, I respect gameloft choice not to sell to Ukraine. Amen.

Have no problems with camera since installing lgcam

Update: Gameloft actually seems to sell Asphalt 6 to Ukraine, but not to Streak5. Chosing desire hd does the trick. Feeling obliged to purchase it ;)
[Streak 5 Android Development] roy8846:
Asphalt 6 is a great game, if you purchase and have problems let me know.

I like Better Keyboard personally.

Nop any chance of install.txt script so we can choose apps to install?

Would save having a split over crt etc.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Roy, i've thought about it, but it seems like simple install routine is best for end user. Advanced user can install/uninstall everything he wants himself.

--

And for crt animation - we'll provide additional themes with/without crt, so end user can choose himself. Fun, that to change one framework value you need to reflash all framework resources, but I couldn't find any other way.

And we can avoid additional forking by writing quite simple app, but still no Java coder in the team.

[Streak 5 Android Development] khoacoi:
Hi nop,

Could you please let us know when are you going to release new version?

Currently I dont know why mine show white screen in camera and youtube player.

Thanks,
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It's not the ROM that causes the "white screen of death" on the camera. One of your apps is not compatible with Gingerbread.

See here. As I note in that thread, LBE Privacy Guard broke the camera for me, and to fix it required a factory reset.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Tomorrow, as planned :)

khoacoi, do you use chainfire?

Anyway, quick fix is to change video driver mode to mdp.

Edit /system/build.prop, find line that says debug.composition.type=gpu

Change gpu to mdp.

Reboot.

White screen should be solved.
[Streak 5 Android Development] greg9100:
Hello _n0p_ and DSC-Team-

Are you referring to:

< > Btrfs filesystem (EXPERIMENTAL) Unstable disk format

Also for DSC-Team kernel builds to my knowledge, the consensus decided upon was arm-eabi-4.4.3?

If so, I will build a 0.2 with this; and post later today
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
No, i'm reffering to

--

About compiler - i think you and Lubo could make a decision :) We're a team.

--

Anyway, i think we'll start to use DSC-Team kernel as base for next releases, and if the compiler would matter, we'll change it :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] khoacoi:
Hi Nop,

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I'm using chainfire, is there anyway to remove chainfire still kepping gpu and solve my issue?

Appriciate your help!
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Sorry, i've got no easy solution.

You may either uninstall chainfire or switch tp mdp.

btvbtv says that lgcamera app works fine with chainfire and gpu, you may give it a test.

[Streak 5 Android Development] marvin02:
How about installing only required apps as system apps and all other apps that you use as user apps? Then apps that the user does not want can be uninstalled using the built in uninstall routine. Example: File Expert, SystemPanelLite, Equalizer, and Zeam. Actually all of the Google apps can be installed as user apps since they are available from the market.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
marvin02, yes, i thought to make it this way, but that Factory Reset breaks the dream :)

Greg, it's great!

I though about wrapping changes in defines, not direct patch, so it can be configurable via config.

make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

Going to continue working on this for a bit

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

It looks like to me, to enable BFS without error we may need to incrementally patch the source to newer versions-

I will actually begin to experiment with this

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

Okay

looks like I've been able to get my local Dell kernel incrementally to version 2.6.35.14

Have a successful kernel built with it-

This is very exciting to me! Tomorrow, I will work to update the DSC source

I think that we should be able to get BFS working on 2.6.35.13 with 2.6.35.13-sched-bfs-404.patch, but this is my best guess at the moment;

-Greg
[Streak 5 Android Development] nickshertzer:
Wow... can't believe the crt poll is so split! Must say DSC has been so super stable and perfect that I haven't really needed to mess with anything since my switch from gs244. I did start using smart rotator based on n0p 's recommendation (but with LANDSCAPE default for everything :-) first "phablet" after all)

I thought turning the CTR photon beam animation on and off was simply a matter of changing the build.prop debug.composition.type=mdp (off but 12% more video memory for games) or gpu (on)

Obviously the framework-res needs the res/anim XML changes, but it shouldnt matter if they are there if crt animation is turned off??
[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
If the crt animation is turned on via the xml file in framework-res, but "off" in build.prop, it still shows the animation, just very slowly. At least this was my experience.
[Streak 5 Android Development] nickshertzer:
Not to mention plenty of theme options :p

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------

Greg, i'm very excited of that "side effect" of applying the BFS! :)

Keep us updated!

nickshertzer, :)

May the poll choose the winner, and looser will be exterminated!

Just kidding, i think we should ask theme makers to provide two versions, as current poll shows that it's really needed.

--

ltrifonov, lordmorphous. I'm sorry again for not getting that in investigation.

My way for enabling CRT was the following:

I've changed value in framework. There was no effect at all - CRT didn't show, so i simply forgot about the change. In a couple of days i've played with framebuffer ang gui and after a change to to GPU i was really surprised! :)

I may suggest that slow mdp crt shows only on high dpi values.

v.62b

http://www.littlemaruko.com/Nopteam/updDSCv0.62b.zip

(special thanks to khoacoi for letting the team use his web hosting!)

--

New:

DSC-Team kernel, as a great result of collaboration from our respected kernel devs:

ltrifonov(Lubo) and GSpecial(Greg). Thank you guys, you rock!

Contains all features from old Olleh kernel hack (UV/OC).

CIFS and TUN support is built-in.

Possible more WiFi and overall stability.

--

Minor fixes:

Default sounds changed in build.prop to existent ones, so they won't be muted on first ROM install.

--

Update is cumulative (includes previous changes), as always.

--

@Team - WiFi Service change is left out, as it seems to have no effect at all.

--

Please report any regression you will find!

Now will compare build time in seconds, and will use "-j 2" because i have 2 cores on my machine. (this is for parallel jobs)

This is exciting to me too ! :)

And just to share my experience,startted at friday I'm testing battery life when phone is on standby and wifi, bluetooth, gps, 3G off.

this kernel (actually 0.62b experimental)

governor conservative, min 128 max 1151

Results up to now: 59 hours (3 nights without charge)

and still have 55 % battery!

during this time traveled 3 hours with Bluetooth turned on for my car handsfree, very few calls, and 5-10 min 3g browsing.

[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
Installed 0.62b and so far so good. Seems a bit smoother to me. I haven't run any benchmarks or anything as I largely don't believe in their validity or relation to real world use. I'll report on wifi this afternoon after I get up. I posted in the Q&A section on a problem I was having accessing services on my home computer. After installing this and rebooting, I can connect to them. I don't know if this update fixed that or not as I could sometimes connect prior, but we'll see! I have another DSC specific theme that I'll post this afternoon as well. Awesome teamwork guys (non-gender specific..lol)!
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
lordmorphous. i've finally experienced wifi freeze yesterday, and here's my thoughts:

To skip a lot - as for WiFiService source, WifI is waked up with Scan_Only flag.

Where might be a chance that driver goes in infinite AP scan mode and that is the real issue.

Now thinking of possible workarounds.
[Streak 5 Android Development] dsteinberg:
hello N0p,

still same issue reported

here a while ago:

its been failing with all 0.6 versions of dsc rom with this flash site:

http://tg24.sky.it/tg24/diretta.html (make sure desktop agent is selected, otherwise youll be redirected to the mobile site with no flash).

the problem i encounter (flash doesnt even start) with all flash versions and with stock, dolphin, and opera browsers

unfortunately for me this is a deal breaker, until a fix is found im nandroid back to dsc 0.51b

ty
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
dsteinberg, may we run a simple check?

Copy /System/app/Flashplayer.apk when you back to 0.51b to you SD card.

Return back to 0.62b.

Copy saved Flashplayer.apk from SD to /system/app.

Reboot.

Go to app management, delete updates for flashplayer.

Chack and delete /data/app/com.adobe.flashplayer-X.apk

Reboot again.

Check the site.

If this helps, i'll replace Flashplayer with older version.

Thank you for collaboration.
[Streak 5 Android Development] greg9100:
Most of the builds take for me 45 seconds to a minute; utilizing a hexcore machine to compile on, make -j12 and so on

codesourcery is definitively faster, but I haven't tried the older toolchain you are using!

I think we could go with that toolchain: codesourcery 2009q3

I am going to try 2009q3 today, after I get this DSC source code updated;

My input regarding the toolchains is kind of all over the place,

I notice some people recommending the arm-eabi-4.4.0, I've also seen cutting edge linaro toolchain at somewhere like 4.5

I actually think esoterically that the older toolchains may serve our purpose here, based upon gkernels project 'seemingly smoother' built with the older toolchain arm-eabi-4.3.1.
[Streak 5 Android Development] _n0p_:
Greg, please!

Is it faster/better?

[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
Some more observations:

The update had nothing to do with my connection problems. For more info on that see my post, Connection woes, in the Q&A section.

I had a problem even connecting to wifi when I got home. It would show connected, but never had any data throughput on several disconnect/reconnect cycles. I went into /system/lib/modules and deleted the dhd_test.ko that was still there from Itrifonov's dellmodules. Rebooted and wifi worked. I don't know if it was the leftover file or the reboot that made it work. Either way, immediately when the screen turned off, wifi would freeze. I left it that way and went to bed. Wifi was frozen the whole time, as I had no notifications when I got up 5 hours later. Cycled wifi on and off a couple times over the next 30 minutes and so far now for the last hour (approx) wifi has worked correctly. Let's hope it stays that way. It's down again...

@_n0p_ That's great that you finally had the wifi freeze. Maybe it will lead to some enlightenment on what the problem really is. I'll try to do some research on my end with the information you gave, although I'd be shocked if I found out anything you didn't already know.

As promised, here is my latest theme. Hope you enjoy!
