:p

you no need to know that much :)

just try, and feel : do not tick "set on boot", and then play with CPU min and max clock and governor, then use a little and feel how it goes :)

in fact i'm neither a developper nor an expert, just a user that use my phone so much that i start to understand how it runs :)

to find best settings we need a large amount of test feedback (quantitative is way better than only feelings ...)

optimizing is hard ^^
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
Hmm.. just a strange question:

Is it just me, or if the Wi-Fi is enabled the whole phone really slows down until I disable the Wi-Fi? Does anyone got this, or just I experienced that? :S

Oh yeah, additional info:

At the data counter, it says that Android System is generated more than 80 megs of data transfer through wi-fi at half hour :O
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 2010matej:
Man, in dolphin companion say when i us wi-fi 378 megs, this is huge! :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
Yeah, but the difference is that I just enabled Wi-fi and I haven't used the internet at any form. So maybe Android system communicates with something (?) and this is what slows dow my device when Wi-Fi is on. I don't know, I just wanted to mention it, maybe someone else noticed that.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] :
Wow. Really?? Damn im too slow. MiniCM9 already came out. Well, gonna installed this on my old Xperia X10 Mini Pro. The main use is its WiFi Tether :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 2010matej:
Yes,but this thread is made for x8:)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] epithetic:
I really doubt that (beyond perhaps overclocking).

The thing is, people mess around with their setup (changing launcher, installing scripts, cache, settings, etc.) and either forget or don't mention it so feedback seems more conflicting than it would be otherwise.

You don't need KSM and zRam (which absolutely kill this, performance-wise). Set up a properly working swap and you have a much better solution that does not impact performance. This will also help keep apps in memory (such as calls, etc.)

If you're taking 15+ seconds to load there is likely something in your settings/install slowing you down beyond lack of memory anyway (KSM, zRam, supercharger,...). A properly set up install shouldn't take more than 2-4 seconds tops to load vital apps (settings, calls, launcher, etc.).
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
ummm does aroma installer support the xperia x8..if yes can nAa or someone else please explain to me how i can integrate it to minicm9? i really like the interface...sorry for asking noobish questions.

thk you

@anybody : and i can't test this build for you, people, since i only have a mini :p ; so do it CAREFULLY

@nobodyAtall : they will be over-reactive since they were over excited, many bugs will breakout only due to mis-installation and mis-reading ^^

for me your rom works better than this one

this one is pretty unstable atm cant get it to work =(

The rom it's the great .. Wi-fi works fine but the sound is not very good ... Need one fix and the camera to
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] widiril:
Okay, no longer getting reboots with Cypress, still not working though. Tried with nAa-11 to see if Cypress would work, but that just doesn't boot.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
wait, it can take time to stabilize, even if you did all as you were meant to :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] RockitOut11:
no touch on cypress!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Ƶero:
nAa-11 doesn't work and alfs also doesn't work

yea i wait and see if it gets better with time.

q:how to make this rom faster?i went back to 2.3 roms because they are fast(little lags) and they dont FC half of apps
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
the problem of swap is, that it kills sd due to uninterrupted I/O

(for crapy sd as i have)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] RudzLong:
Just flash 2.3 rom:-P
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
when you say apps lags or FC, i hope you aren't using non market apps NOT designed for ICS?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Spevky:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] drfr:
Great! One question - I see that nice plateau on battery stats - have you been on airplane mode during that time?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
yes, since i don't have an excellent network coverage, gsm standby is a battery killer (about 8h of flightmod in the middle of the graph)

today i try 245~600, same other settings and no flightmod, screen shot tomorrow
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] epithetic:
Decent SD cards are cheap these days, and having them die to swap takes quite some time (esp. at large capacities). :)

That said, I agree with the suggestion to have an option to keep phone in memory or preload it - it is one of the slower ones to load (up to 3-4 seconds, definitely), and not an issue to have it loaded with swap. What I currently do is call voicemail after I boot/disable & reenable swap or end it otherwise. It does stay in memory then, but having the ROM do that for me automatically when there is free memory available would be nice.

mncm 3.0.2 3/6 or 4/7 maybe :))
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] drfr:
Yeah, this fear of sd wear seems to be overblown, I've read about that quite lot and decided to ignore it altogether.

After rebooting first thing I do is to start phone app /no call just start/ and minimize and then it sits in swap and waits for its time. No big deal having to press two buttons.

I understand you use swappiness 20. Have you experimented with other values? I did but I could not see much difference. My card is class 10 though, that could be a reason I guess. I thought I could test my old stock sd lying around somewhere so I could tell people how it would behave. Think I'll try later today and will post back.

Just wait if he release it or not, you dont have to be impatient.

Like lucastan's said "patient is a virtue" :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Empty2k12:
I think, he will update, because the ponys were ready a few das ago and

he wrote sth about new features like theme chooser and so on

sent from my icecream.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] epithetic:
I played around with it. From what I can tell too much is not great as it starts swapping before it needs to (=apps load slower than they have to), and likewise too little will mean not enough is swapped.

I think it mainly depends on usage; if you're going to fill huge amounts of memory, more swappiness could(!) be beneficial as the spread will be more even. In normal usage, 20 seems to be the best compromise for me (although granted, I did not spend days upon days testing).

Class 10 here as well.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] revan17:
Can someone link a tutorial on how to set up SWAP partition? I'ma gonna go and buy a class 10 card and would like to try ICS that way.

From what I understand it's much better to use SWAP partition than a swapper file, right?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Vicky26:
I just noticed that if you're on kernel bootlogo, you press home button once, it takes you immediately to CWM. So, there's no need to tap Back button like a maniac :D

/totally irrelevant post/ :p
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bojler:
Please report if you test swap with stock sd card.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] epithetic:
I haven't had good experiences with swap/ext partitions on this ROM. No harm in using a file.

At work right now, will test later.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] drfr:
Well, as I promised, I just took my stock sd which is class 2 2 GB, formatted it through CWM, set up a swap partition /256, but not saying it has to be that large, just did what I have on my class 10 32 GB Kingston/ and first impressions are great. First start of phone app, or contacts, messaging, settings etc. takes quite a time as they have to be paged to swap, but then they start instantly. So not much difference from class 10 sd, to be frank, I´ve got an impression that it´s even faster!

Edit: if you have a large swap you can set swappiness even to 100, because that will force kernel to page everything even when RAM is not full, that way every app will start longer for the first time, but next time you switch to it, it will fly!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ankitxperia:
iwatched at thier live event lol
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nobodyAtall:
Well, there's a huge debate already about swappiness. The original author of this feature in the kernel suggests a big value (like 100). This way the system will swap as soon as possible and not wait for Ram to run out. The way the kernel (and android actually) works, this makes sense for devices with limited memory, like ours. On the other hand this might stress the sdcard causing performance degradation or in rare cases sdcard ware.

I'd say you make your pick, chose whatever works best for you. MiniCM will be more memory efficient in the next version anyway :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Heronger:
Looks good. Will try it ;)

I will post result here :)

It works and it feels a bit smoother when scrolling(maybe i think it only :D).

All in all it feels smoother.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] herbesi01:
The theme chooser is comming in new build...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CutestDevil:
Beautiful Rom,But i have problem regarding playback of certain videos,lags a lot,is it something related with HW encoding/Decoding Problem..? and Radio as well,which just keep searching stations,but never works for me,i wish it will be corrected in next release.. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Heronger:
HD Videos are laggy. But SD Videos are smooth and yes it is related with hw encoding decoding :(

Radio also doesnt work for me. But it will be fixed in next release ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Jeik:
Hd videos work great.just buy a class 10 microsd.i have 16 gb class 10 and everything related to sd card files is working perfectly.

Bug report:

When "Underolt" is enabled my performance settings (CPU and Memory) are restored after every reboot.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Mockingbird:

well, on 3.0.1 it was possible.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] albertrono:
Has the lag with the MMS and Dialer apps been fixed?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaliburManiac:
go to settings>launcher>pages>number of pages and change it.

works for me
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] irot3k:
thats what i did but as soon a i was going to scroll i got back in the main menu.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaliburManiac:
uhm, i changed it to 3 pages and and worked without any problems. did you fullwipe?

EDIT: what i noticed is that if you add some app shortcuts to the lockscreen there are no icons shown, but the apps still start if you choose them.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Vicky26:
The new theme is an eye-candy, it's amazing!And the rom is pretty fast new!

Two questions:

-The bug that when I use a simple headphone set (without mic), the phone doesn't understand it and it thinks that it has a mic so i can't speak from the phone's mic, is now fixed?

-Is there any way to turn on/off the phone without using Power button?My phone's power button is broken, when I press it it stucks so I end up having bootloops...Any way to do this in a different way?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] irot3k:
i did a full wipe, wiped cache and stuff. ill try immediately again after a reboot :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] luqman123:
I logged in the xda acount.When I open the thread its just the same.Then I afk for a while.After that ,I checked it again and very was so excited when fo see this new update!:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaliburManiac:
didnt encounter this problem. i can change the shortcuts and save them, the only thing thats not working is the icons on the lockscreen after changing. only the stock icons (cam and lock) are shown.

EDIT: are u dudes on naa-ics-03 kernel?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Acudor:
lol download is too damn slow i bet the whole forum is downloading the rom xD
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] irot3k:

gr8 job as usual, nAa !

if anyone notice an actual improvement from swap partition. could u refer me or give me a simple guide. all those out there r 4 linux. also if i create a swap partition, does the system recognize it automatically? and what is the best size for it ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] t81:
guys I wont do full wipe because I dont want to loose all of my customizations but can I change the name to update.zip and go directly or should I navigate my sd card?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] widiril:
I just used this. It seems to be a little faster, I've used 256mb. The kernel supports it so you just have to follow the steps exactly
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ahlulnugraha:
You can safely flash it without full wipe <choose zip from CWM> someone already confirm that.

After mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 I run swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 and I get "Invalid argument". :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I tried it through ADB shell and terminal emulator. I'm going crazy. Just this morning I set it up perfectly win IScreamDX and now it just won't work. Someone help!!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Acudor:
well i used that way to partition the sd card and when i was done and inserted it in phone it told me that sdcard is damaged do u want to format it ? then i format it and no swap partition ..

so i used partitioning via cwm recovery 128mb of space and swapped 256 , i have no idea if its workin like this or not

[Edit]

i have the same prob as revan17
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nobodyAtall:
Why don't you use CWM for partitioning your SD card?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] revan17:
I'm trying it that way now, though I don't need ext partition so I didn't use CWM.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Acudor:
look again nAa :D , thats what i did .. i also swapped 256 via cwm .. but no idea if the swap is now workin or not .. if so then its the simplest way ever :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] widiril:
I probably should've said that I did use CWM instead of the step in the guide for the partitioning

Try

mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

To see if swap is working open Terminal Emulator and type free, if it shows your swap partition and there is some used then it's working.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nobodyAtall:
Swap partitions are automatically detected on boot by the A2SD scripts. This practically means that you just have to make a swap partition on your sdcard (with any method that you like) and it will be swapp'ed on at each boot.
