I just put a few missing parts in my other p4 box. Should I set it up as a second, separate server, or should I try to set up a cluster? (If I go cluster, that's 3 p4 cores between 2.8 and 3.2 ghz w/ ht and a total of 7.5gb ram [I'd use all 3 boxes I have])

Anyone have experience with clusters?

Also, I'm currently using a Linksys e2000 router. But there are no more open Ethernet ports... anyone know of a reliable wifi router with more than 4 LAN ports, wifi n, and supported by openwrt or tomato? Or should I just take the jump up to a switch an firewall with a wifi router behind it?
[G1 Android Development] Infinimint:
A cluster would be pretty cool and would make for much faster build times, but I myself have never made a cluster nor do I have any experience with making them. However, it looks as if these could be of some help:

started working on this today :)

i can run a helloworld on all 3 boxes i have and get a response from all three. can also run hostname on all 3 and get each hostname back. now i just have to set it up to build android!
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
The build box will be rebooted around midnight - 1am for a kernel update. Just a warning.

And I'm still working on the cluster idea. I could use distcc for host compiles, and I have mpich2 installed and working. I could use that for Java stuff and arm compiles if I can figure it out (probably will do some poorly written scripts and symlinks)

Edit: reboot went flawlessly at 23:30 last night (no one was logged in).
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
building ics for the g1 on the box right now. it boots! currently trying to fix touchscreen. thought people might want to know :)
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
There was a short interruption to the network connection. The idiot 19 year old in this house decided to unplug the modem because Ellen was making a theme to put on the market instead of doing a few dishes (which she's been doing all week). Should be fixed now.
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Out of paranoia, I am soon going to disable password logins. Already done so on all my other boxes, just waiting on this one.

Reason behind the paranoia:

If someone cracks a password on the box, they are in. Once they are in, even though its unlikely they will succeed, they will try to root the box. If it gets rooted, my SSH keys are on it. With that, they can log in to one of my other boxes, from there, they can log in to every box I regularly SSH into, push to my github, steal my music, mess with my data, and all other kinds of chaos.

SSH keys are much harder to break.
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Someone forgot to pay the internet bill :rolleyes:

[G1 Android Development] frankdrey:
Is there any chance of this coming back up?

I'm currently building cm10 on a 1.7 GHz athlon xp and it is driving me nuts xD

I would be very grateful for such a build server :)

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

Also, I recommend you run bbqlinux on it ;)

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

Scratch that. I am no longer building it on my PC. The build system builds a library that is 64 bit only. So seems like simply replacing the tool chain with a 32 bit build no longer works :(
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
The original build server is on its last legs. I ran it nearly 24/7 since I got it and it was pretty old anyway. It now hits almost 100°C every half hour or so and randomly shuts off. It had a great run, but I think I'm going to finally retire the poor bastard.

I recently acquired 5 old Pentium 4 boxes from work. I could easily install all the android build stuff on it and put it in a corner, but my network is rather unreliable (half of it is behind an old wrt54g that connects to the main router. I recently also got some Cisco switches, a router, and a pix 501 firewall, so once I get the cabling required, it might get better) and doesn't have the bandwidth to handle more than 1 or 2 devs IF they sync sparingly and only in the early morning. The boxes also have between 512mb and 1gb ram and only 80gb drives, so it might not even be worth setting up. If you still want me to revive this, I'll do the best I can. I'll pm you if I do set it up.

I have been wanting to set up a cluster for building, but I never got past the initial "hello, world" test.
[G1 Android Development] frankdrey:
Ah, well those are 32 bit anyway.

Maybe they'll be useful for froyo Roms. But if its troublesome, then its fine. :)

I'll find something else. Thanks though
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Intel introduced 64bit in the later Pentium 4 cpus, I may be able to shove 64bit debian on one, but they have very little ram.

Edit: yup, they are all 64bit capable. I don't have a 64bit install disk, so I guess I'll get one set up tomorrow during my lunch break.
[G1 Android Development] frankdrey:
Awesome :D I would be very grateful.

You should seriously try bbqlinux though lol

Its made by android developers for android developers

Codeworkx works on it if you know him ;) I'm the one who bugged him to even make a 32 but build xD

Ram won't be a problem with enough swap xD
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
I'm compiling CM10 on a C2D w/ 2GB of RAM (and frigging Ubuntu 12.04) and the build likes to die because of an OOM while linking libwebcore.so (and the other java processes which the build process starts...). Launching the build again fixes it (I guess libwebcore.so gets linked before anything else eats RAM...)

I'm unsure a 512MB based machine could do it, unless you're using a really big swap partition.

I'd have to see if I can build CM10 on a minimal Gentoo box, but I currently lack the time to setup one.
[G1 Android Development] frankdrey:
I always do -j1 to avoid that.

And with swap it should work.

But, yeah :'(

I've started to work on a froyo ROM. To content myself. Lol
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
i got 2 1gb sticks of ram from work yesterday. should help some. need to get around to installing an os on one soon..
[G1 Android Development] frankdrey:
Nice.

I still think you should install BBQlinux on one :P

http://download.bbqlinux.org/
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
just put debian on a box and am currently getting everything needed to build installed.

I know debian best and can manage a debian box easier than anything else at this point, so i stuck with debian.

pm me the user/pass you want to use and i'll reply with hostname/port to connect to via ssh. I probably won't get the account set up until tomorrow, and i will be rebooting it a few times while i get a custom kernel built for it (i like specialized kernels. generic, one-size-fits-all kernels just feel too... generic). also, the box currently only has 1gb ram in it. I'll upgrade it to 2 tomorrow.

I am going on vacation saturday and wont be back till christmas. so if i don't get all this done by then, you may be waiting till the new year
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
double post...
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Frankdrey got access to someone else's awesome server. So I guess this one is going dormant again until someone else asks me to revive it.

Maybe I'll move the minecraft server over to that box....

[HTC One X] Cicinho:
Cancelled my pre order with dialaphone, 600mins, unlimited texts and 500mb internet for 31 on o2. o2 told me I could get 12 month contract via them. They were trying to extort me on handset price and monthly charge. I went back to dailaphone and got a nice gentleman on the phone who offered me the x one white with unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and 1gb internet for 36 a month, free handset too with the free hdmi media thing. Its 24 month contract that I can cancel early buy paying the 36monthly fee for the months I am not planning on using. Therefore I could pay around 150 to cancel the contract after 18months which I could easily recoup by selling the phone to one of them recycle shops. I am planning on selling my sgs1 to o2 for 110. Put that away and add the money from the x one sell and I can change phones after 12 months if I need too.

Good deal or going rate? Compared to what you guys are paying?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinstartshere:
I know this sounds like quite a simple question with an obvious answer, but numbers alone can't really give you a proper idea of what the screen size will be like. Sony Tablet S has a slightly smaller screen than other tablets, and at the moment it's stopping me from making a purchase. Is it noticeably smaller than a 10.1 inch screen? Does the slightly smaller screen make much of a difference when web browsing or editing Word docs or viewing PDFs? And is it much of a step up from the 8 inch screen?

Also, if anyone can suggest a 10.1 inch tablet that meets my needs (3G, USB host on board, priced competitively!), that would be great. The Sony Tablet S is currently £386.56 on Amazon.co.uk, just to give an idea of what price range I am looking at, and I was also considering the Acer Iconia A501 but I'm not so sure that the screen is as good as the Sony tablet's, from what I recall.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MYREALILLUSION:
It will allow you to run any app you can run on desktop Ubuntu, coming with a Chromium browser, Thunderbird email, Rhythmbox music player and Shotwell photo editor as standard. It will be compatible with any device running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) or above, but unfortunately, you won’t just be able to simply download and install it yourself, since Ubuntu is currently liaising with mobile vendors and carriers to install the software at manufacturing stage.

Then again, all the Ubuntu code will be open-source as it always has been, so custom ROM makers congregated over at XDA-developers and the like should be able to add the OS in custom ROM releases.

[Motorola Droid 4] Marvin-:
Is anyone else having audio issues with the Droid 4? mostly when I listen to music The vocals are so quiet that I can barely even distinguish them. I've tried 4 different sets of headphones and even replaced the phone once (it had other issues too).

so I'm just curious if others are having this issue or is it simply the audio playback on these phones is just poor.

I would even like suggestions of music apps or equalizers that can enhance vocal playback.
[Motorola Droid 4] Fuddster:
I'm very happy with the sound on my D4. I use Poweramp to listen to MP3s off my SD card, Tunein Pro for streaming local radio and some podcasts, and occasionally Slacker & Pandora for other streaming.

The Poweramp free app is a 15 day trial, the Full Version is $4.99 in the store. It has, in my non-audiophile opinion, a kick-ass equalizer, including about 16 presets. I have no problems hearing any audio unless the source was recorded with low levels.

That being said, I'm not a big fan of the D4's speaker for listening to music, but when I'm listening to music I'm either using headphones, external speakers or I'm plugged into my car's audio system, so it's not usually an issue.
[Motorola Droid 4] Aloth600:
I use Volume+. It is a paid app but worth it I think. I really does boost spound with headphones, speaker, bluetooth, and in call. To mod in call you have to be rooted.
[Motorola Droid 4] Marvin-:
That's for the options, I will try them out. I don't think the issue is quality since I use 320 kbps mp3 files as often as possible. I'm just trying to figure out this issue before I start flashing CM9.

[Motorola Droid 4] deturbanator:
I too have enjoyed the audio quality and volume from my droid 4. It could be the audio files you are listening too. If you ripped them from a cd, or downloaded them from somewhere sketch, then they could just be low in volume all together.
[Motorola Droid 4] Marvin-:
Well I considered that too. But I listened to the same song with poweramp, with Google music, on winamp and on Pandora. Same thing, I can barely hear the vocals. It sounds fine coming out of the back speaker, or if i switch power amps setting to mono. Maybe my phone just hates stereo.

[Motorola Droid 4] RideZeLitenin:
Go to phone settings > sound > media audio effects. 3D audio or whatever is probably enabled by default. This drowns out some sounds in order to make a '3D' effect. Not good for music, in my opinion.

Thank you so much. That worked. I tweaked the audio effects and other settings to make it sound how I wanted it to. I can't thank you enough this was driving me insane. Now is time to start playing with roms.

First thing I would say is that you have a much better chance of getting a constructive answer if you've shown you've made an effort by providing as much useful information as possible and show you've done the basic research.

If you want to get root for your phone, the first obvious question is what OS are you currently running ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Well, considering the guy hardly knows how to root his phone, I would hazard a guess that he would still be on Gingerbread. And your being pretty harsh on him, still trying to follow the video we all are forced to watch before we join XDA?

Now Westerhoff, could you please provide your Phone, PDA and CSC by going to your phone dialler and typing in *#1234#. These are needed for Chainfire's CF-Root, which keeps the phone as close to stock as possible, whilst rooting the phone, and adding busybox and ClockworkMod Recovery, which is a life saver for making back ups of your current ROM incase something goes wrong, and to flash a new ROM to your phone, for example, the new Ice Cream Sandwich leaks.

Chris.
