Hi Bro..

I have suggestion

I think the ROM need zram for compcache

So how if we make zram in smaller size

25mb is enough for zram

# echo $((25*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize

#	mkswap /dev/block/zram0

#	swapon /dev/block/zram0

and make it refresh every 30 minutes from script manager schedule

#	swapoff /dev/block/zram0

#removed

# echo $((25*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize

#stop

# echo $((25*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize

#	mkswap /dev/block/zram0

#	swapon /dev/block/zram0

Is the script right ?

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Orishaz:
Yup.. Very lags here too. Cow friend. What is the solution? Disable zram will not reduce the rom performance?

open VPN

Hallo guys, and what about tun.ko and openvpn?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] AdliHebat:
Many method to do this but u must have a rooted phone. You can extract the rom using zip file manager. Use root explorer to replace all the .so files. I use adb push.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reidzeibel:
Is there any other files that should be replaced? If we want to use Full Bionic Optimization without using the actual rom, what else should be done?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] falqon:
Is it possible if i use zram.sh from bionic rom to another stock or cusrom

Thanks in advance :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
Hi Bro.. thanks for the reply, you mean replace all the .so file is it like all including some folder inside "Lib" ??

Cowithgun,

I realized that the background is in white colour as i couldn't see the words in the dialler. Hmmm. :(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Although there are a few cases reported to have massive lags which apparently solved by turning off zram, there are also many others which have no problem (including myself :p). If there is no problem, I do recommend to keep zram as it is since with it, more stuff can be cached in the RAM, less loading, save more battery, less memory wear.

May be less zram and 'refreshing' swap could help if anyone with lag problem. To reset zram, I recommend simply use:

sh zram.sh on / off.

Refer to /system/etc/zram.sh for more info. If anyone try this, tell us if this work? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Nope, it should have no impact in performance. Enabling it should help in better multitasking and save tiny bit of battery. :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Freshly compiled, see if this work?

If your ROM is using latest Kernel from arco68, it should work.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Yes! Mass Effect 3!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Ya, another user reported this. It's fixed. You need to download this and put into your /system/app to replace the Contacts.apk

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] needya:
Downloaded this ROM and used it. :D It is running very fast and smooth today since I turned the phone on for today's use. My phone froze while I was starting Angry Birds yesterday right after I applied the ROM, but fortunately it looks okay now.

Anyway, I'm switching external SD cards, but I noticed that in this ROM, my external SD card is switched into the internal SD card, and vice versa for the internal card too. Do I need to wipe, factory reset, etc before I switch SD cards or is it okay to just switch it with my phone situation with your ROM applied?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
Thanks a lot Cowithgun! Appreciate your time to willingly hang on your Mass Effect 2. :D:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Ya, was experimenting with 1.9ghz on my phone. I was so happy I managed to break thru 6k of Antutu score I submitted that. :D

Some of you may noticed, if you are using the OC version, your graphic score is somehow a little lower than the non-oc version. For a long time I couldn't figure out why. Well, I rewrite the overclock code, it's fixed. On top of that, you should see the graphic (2d/3d) score should increase a little if you OC.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] reidzeibel:
Yeah, I noticed that the score is lower than the non-oc score. So, do you plan to release this kernel on the next version or release it separately? very tempting :O
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
The release ?

Starting to experience more frequent lags after 5 days of using. :(

Tried disabling zram but it did no good. Turning it back on.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Both link still work. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
A little more details will be helpful if you want a bug fix; CPU governor, min/max freq, micro lag (mini-seconds) or mega lags (minutes), app that lag, stuff that you installed in the last 5 days?

Refer to first page on how to produce logcat too.

Using OnDemandX at 368/1401. Unfortunately for me, most apps lag after using for several minutes like Facebook. Only using SetCPU. No other optimizations at work.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] MAMUTHcz:
try using ondemand instead...i had similiar problem on gingerice 2.1...i looked into setcpu and realized, that for some reason, ondemandx stays permanently on lowest cpu setting possible. Maybe some problem with this kernel (I have no idea in fact :D), but no problems with ondemand whatsoever.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tesna:
cowithgun, can you help me how to use this correctly?

I put the tun.ko file in /system/lib/modules and chmod it to 644 but when I tried to insmod it I get this:

# insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/tun.ko' failed (Exec format error)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Did a bit of checking, it turn out that the kernel already compiled with tun statically. So, there is no need for tun.ko.

I tested awhile ago, simply install OpenVPN, no need to configure anything in "Advance"; Dont load tun kernel module. It just work. :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
Hi all, just want to share something, about SGW and maybe all the dev can fugure out if it is useful .

I bought my SGW on the end of Jan 2012, for the first 2 weeks I'm facing some problem like auto restart, ring tone fail , and the most happening was my phone unable to detach my external sd card. But after I update the firmware through OTA , all the problem gone.... here is what I'm guesting ... could it be the base firmware that making all this troubles ?? When I start using Bionic Cow Rom, I saw the phone's status bar keep on scaning the sd card from time to time, and when it happen, I'll have many Apps with FC ... some time it just freeze ..

Hope this will help our dev to see if that could be the reason ..

Sorry bout my bad english .....:p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
Obviously ur SD is bad...maybe..try to format it from the phone then perform factory reset the phone will be set from the first time u had flashed CWG' ROM....
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
CWG.....Hope you find this video useful for page no.1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcppDaP8lMA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
Thanks for the tips Bro... but already tried that, as I mentioned the phone work fine and smooth after the update via OTA (with the same sd card).

After that I flash my phone back to stock, without update the problem came back, unable to detach sd card some time, ring tone not working some time and auto reboot. After doing the update, works perfect. Recently I flash the DXLA2 FW download from samobile( jan 2012 Malaysia Stock Rom), is the latest FW I guest coz I don't have any previous problems anymore (Tried to update but it said no update available ):rolleyes: I'm not a dev but just though that this might be useful for our dev :p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
This is maybe a SD Card compatibility issue. can't cope with Bionic Optimization..What brand is it n which class ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
is a class 4 from a brand call "FT" :o

and happen the same when I use a Class 8 from Nokia ....
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
As Rio Saputro mentioned if the SD card is not a class 6...using this ROM you might face a problem.

Over at Malaysia we are using class 6 the most....

No hard feelings.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
If you change the sd card and usb storage back to as it was in stock format you will have no problem. Thats what i did and even though i use a class 6 card still dont trust them...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tesna:
Its confirmed working! :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tesna:
I got class 10 card and I still use stock format (no swap). I was having issues when using swapped storage mod
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
If that is the case maybe I should try to flash the rom to the internal sd... is there a guild for how to do that ?? Thanks in advance:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] minatovladoski:
Meh, I'm using class 4 but i doubt it coz when i test it, the performance as good as class 2...but no prob so far
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] yewsiong:
Class 2, 4, 6 etc refers to the minimum writing speed. For example, class 4 card can write at ~7MB/s.

If u are keeping apps such as games on the external sd card, u should be able to notice the booting speed will be faster for the use of higher class sd card. The apps will run more smoothly too.

Swapping may be a good choice if u are using higher class card.:)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ganesh8586:
Which class bter 6 or 4

No luck on Bionic Rom..... after swap the memory , it hold for about 14 hours (only eat 14% of battery on normal use) FC start to poping up . . . .:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
You did wipe ALL data, right? What ROM are you using before?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
I do factory reset, wipe partition , Delvik ......... everything I can wipe .... ;) , before I was using stock rom, after I flash the bionic rom, I did uninstalled some apps like music hub, game hub , buddy, talk etc...

now re-flash again the bionic rom and not uninstall anything and see if that could make any different .
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
Well you did the right with the wiping and all. Maybe you uninstall certain apps that shouldn't be gone from the phone ahah! I don't know. :D Jut keep on testing the Bionic, if problem still remains, maybe the ROM is not compatible. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
Head over to CWG's 4th ROM n test it I assure you no FC at 1.5GHz OD....
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] SyzwnFrzRdz:
2nd ROM and 4th ROM are massively TIPTOP! :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
Thanks for the advise bro... Is been for 18 hours now after the re-flash , only 1 FC for incoming sms :rolleyes: . will keep trying with the bionic rom without uninstall any apps, not signing into the google play store and not using titanium backup .
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
SMS...FC this had occurred before as CWG has been notified.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
well... after 22 + hours , got the first freeze ... But before it froze I notice that the phone only consume 1% of battery power for an hour +,(amazingly low consumption) then I check my email through it, works fine... but freeze when I try to manage some apps.... :confused:

Now trying to tune up a bit with CPU master max 1401.6 min 368.64 ODX and see how...:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
Leave it at stock speed...let us know

Cowitgun,

Your cowpanel apps mentioned about switching build.prop.

Which build.prop in /system is for the smooth graphic (disbaled vsyc)?

At which particular line they are different?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
Late to work today , due to the phone alarm not working.... :( , when I check there are sign of FC again ...... SU down which mean all root related apps not working , browser FC etc...:confused: , after reboot the phone, everything work normal again....

encounter auto restart twice yesterday ....

I think I'll flash the V4 Cow rom today :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
I am not against to those using this ROM it is just our CPU may be a thin waffle..this ROM is fantastic n loved it....but I have the same faith....

Shoot me CWG..!

I have shared the alternatives...:)

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] ganesh8586:
In this rom got tun.ko?

Sent from my GT-I8150
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
The FC when reading SMS from lock screen is a bug in Samsung firmware (may be only affected those with ICS-like unlock). As reported by tester, it only happen sometimes if you kill Messenger app from "Clear memory" or using any other task killer.

You will not see this FC at all if you run Messenger at least once and make sure it's not killed.

Early report indicates that I8150DXLC1 may have fixed that.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Cow Panel will only work if the kernel has been compiled to support triple buffering. So, even if you can change the build.prop, it will have no effect on kernel that does not support triple buffering. The property to control this is at end of my build.prop:

debug.gr.numframebuffers=3

Use "3" to set to triple buffering (smooth mode), or use "2" to set to just 2 buffers (meaning no triple buffering = fast mode = vsync off). If the kernel does not support triple buffering, this line will have no effect since there are only 2 buffers.

CowPanel.apk was created so that user dont have to edit build.prop :D The GUI is just so-so, but get the job done. :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Your case are similar to another another user which have massive FC due to /data suddenly "remount" into read-only. Although I receive the logcat, I cannot figure out why it suddenly changed into read-only. I am suspecting some external program that do that. :(

If Bionic ROM simply not working for your phone, welcome to try other ROM. :D I believe in variety. I still got a group of users that really like Slim Shady (v2) ROM. :p
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Previous/other ROM works better than Bionic Cow ROM in your phone? I am a little upset because I really put a lot of effort in Bionic Cow.... :(

but that's OK. :D We need more ROM for SGW out there. If all ROM alike, what's the point?

Hey, do you know what happen to Arco68's GitHub? I always like to read and learn a lot from his GitHub... remember how the idea of Bionic Scorpion Optimization boost this ROM with just a simple "commit" from him to his CM9?

it's gone...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
If you need tun.ko to use OpenVPN, you dont need it.

Just use OpenVPN without "load kernel module". It should work.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] andynroid:
UGPM ! :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Thanks for the PM. I don't really follow threads in General sections. Sad to know what happen. I really learn a lot from his GitHub.

But its grand got a score over 5600 on antutu so rom is a winner
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
1 and 3. Both Bionic ROM already has "Scorpion optimization"...

The _real_ major difference is just the based ROM update from I8150DXLA2 to I8150DXLC1.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] cowithgun:
Have not try the 14 toggle, but it should work right? I was hoping someone would create a theme for it. :D

The benchmark was without zram, which is the default. It is also without using Chainfire3d.

In theory, zram should not affect Antutu score too much. zRam will mostly work during multi-tasking or in Memory hungry app (browser!).
