Yeah I know the feeling :D I released new version just hours before jerl released new kernel update..

The swapping is now very conservative about keeping huge apps in memory and writes pages very slowly to conserve I/O. This is the way I intended originally, swap should help to offload what is not used but can't be freed. It should not hold the bulk of running apps, that is asking for lags.

For me it currently hovers between 10-20MB even after several hours of sleep and heavy usage before that. This is perfect, no lags but opera gets killed a little too early for my taste when running Skype. I will use this as a base for tweaking and decrease the conservativeness a little bit in the future but for now this is perfect :)

Your sd-swap would be seriously under-utilized anyway with these settings.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

For anyone who built their own undervolting table

Please note that I have determined through experiments the actual minimal voltage our board allows is 750mV. If you set any of your voltages lower than 750, it will not be applied and instead, the stock voltage will be used.

This will get fixed in next release of the kernel, this means that 700 and 725 may possibly get automatically bumped to the new minimum 750. You can imagine that nothing but 122 or possibly 192MHz will be happy about this and you may get a bootloop (although fixable with my uv_tools - remove_screwup.bat).

Please edit your voltage tables accordingly to be ready. Anything below 750mV is potentially problematic from next version onward.

Hi am not able to find the "press back button to kill apps" option in this rom.. it is generally in the development option in the settings menu... pls help me out here
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stevennnn:
It is under Settings - ROM Control, General userinterface, then its one of the lasts options (A bit creative translating, my phone is in Dutch so I'm not sure of the English words. )
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xhitz:
I have been using the same display tweaks from nik3rs CM7 rom seems to be the best stats for display usage if you look at my last post his other thread you will see that my display is the least power consumer!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
No need, this ROM has identical backlight table ;)

But in ICS, the GPU unit apparently counts into the Display entry, in CM7 it was just backlight I think.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
Hey.

Not a big deal, but I noticed that on the app menu. A very small portion of the icon text is cut off when you scroll right to the bottom.

I'd take a screenshot but I don't know how. ;-P

Sent from Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
Hold the power button and press screenshot. ;)

I see it too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
Good god, I'm a retard.

How have I NOT seen that option!?

Must be those damn pills... :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ruan619:
Yea seen that too but its only when you have the drawer set like that(Vertical Continuous). I just set mine to one of the horizontal styles and its all good. BTW Niker once again you have made an amazing rom dude much appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Broman400:
Can I just wipe cache and dalvik cache if I'm coming from the June 19 ROM to the June 24th one?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
sure

wipe cache + dalvik, flash rom, flash DataSwap if you want it, reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] timemaster:
google talk

Hi nik3r, many thanks for perfect rom. I'm with you from first releases of elitemod CM7 :)

But I'm not able to find google talk :( can you help me ? I tried 120619 and 120624 but without success.. I made full wipe when upgrading from EliteMod CM7

Thanks

TM
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
I removed it, you can add it again by flashing latest gapps I think. Or the mod from EM CM7 might work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Broman400:
What if I already have DataSwap flashed on the 19th ROM, do I have to reflash it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
That's what I'm saying, part of it is on /system partition.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
Wouldn't this advice contradict one of your warnings in the first post?

4) Flashing gApps or any performance-boosting packages is not recommended. Latest gApps are already included and tweak scripts may in some extreme cases break sd-ext support.

Just asking because I noticed GTalk was gone too and wanted it back but was uncertain how I was going to do it withought flashing a GApps package..

Guessing you don't use GTalk enough to warrant leaving it in the ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
It's not recommended for that very reason, it re-adds bloat that I removed :D

I can make a mod to add only gtalk if you prefer a clean solution.

EDIT: Here http://elite-force.eu/elitemod/MOD_GTalkICS.zip

Try it please
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
First off, damn that was quick.

Secondly, all looks good to me. GTalk is installed and fully functional. Thank you very much.

Thirdly, how could you possibly see GTalk as bloat!? :p

Sent from Planet Mars...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
I had the impression it's bloat for everyone outside US :D

Actually got a lot of complaints back on CM7 because it runs persistently after boot even if you can't use it. I use Autostarts so not a problem for me to disable it, but still it's an extra step after fresh flash.

Or wait was that something else? Got the stuff confused with wifi calling apk I think lol
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
So whenever I use any swap on this rom, and then plug in ac adapter and headphones and run google music, the UI still lags terribly, even occasional FC. Its been happening since june 19th release.. maybe before.

I've done a full wipe, same prob. The odd part is google music runs no problem with just ac charger, or just headphones, or neither. And the app runs fine (with charger and headphone) without swap, I flashed without swap lastnight to test it

Any idea what is causing it? Its not as bad as it was in prior versions, once the music starts it keeps playing, but the UI lags terribly. Then again, I've also done away with sd swap and only use internal now.

I like the other benefits swap gives. Any advice? Should I run a logcat?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zoot1:
Found it now...thanks a lot man..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xhitz:
Curious.......what is everyone getting for batt stats on the 1800mah battery? I'm still being lazy with odering one =p haha
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] timemaster:
Many thanks, it work's great for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
:P Funny thing is I use almost everything in the Gapps package... EXCEPT Gtalk. :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Let's say the reason I didn't include GTalk is the same why I didn't include IMO, eBuddy or Skype out of the box ;)

For people that don't use that particular IM it's just bloat. I am actually getting complaints about twitter and facebook being included (although they are in system and take no user space) can you bealieve that? :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
LoL well.... stuff like that can just be installed simply either via the Gapps like you said or from the market. I mean hell CyanogenMod base doesn't include GApps either.

It's almost as if people failed to read that you primarily created this rom for yourself and sharing the benefits of your optimizations and tweaks (if I didn't want to use Gapps I would actually be happy you didn't include it, because it simply means I can add what I need, not deal with trying to remove what I don't want).

PS: I got your default undervolt table down about 50 across the board and applied, running smooth as I tried each frequency. Loving it, and soon I'll have that 3500mAh battery and it'll be sorta insane :D, I think I've learned more from your ROM than I have with any previous.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
New kernel

New EliteKernel 120625 is released!

Please be aware that any custom undervolt below 750mV may result in a bootloop after you flash this! Fix your custom undervolting table according to this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27827512&postcount=250

120625

- merged CM9b14 changes

- voltage minimum is capped at real hardware minimum - 750mV (adjust your tables accordingly)

- Smartass2 is more conservative to hopefully allow for a bit higher frequency/voltage ranges (expect 100-200MHz improvement tops)

- Optimized swap sweet spot to the 20-40MB range without introducing lags again

- very mild increase of in-call mic gain

-Enjoy :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Rozza C:
While I can understand the reasoning behind not adding IMO, Skype etc as they are easily downloadable through the Play Store....GTalk isn't exactly as readily available unless you (like both you and nik3r mentioned) install a full GApps set (adding all that extra bloat that comes with it which nik3r tried to avoid in the first place)....or (if you're feeling adventurous) pull the apk from the GApps flash zip and install it on its own.

Actually I didn't fail to read that part. Doesn't mean the question can't be asked. How on earth would you get by in life if you took everything at face value? :p

---EDIT---

Ooooo new kernel...will play with it when I get home!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] starop013:
Awesome work. So far very smooth and no problems. Still a bit shy about using the swap option as I don't want to risk going back to my G1 yet. But as I'm not a multi tasker, I don't feel that I'm missing out on anything yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
The potential risks of DataSwap should really only apply when used over long durations. I'm talking weeks without any reboot and 10's of months for normal usage before this can get dangerous. But of course it's your money and your risk to take :)

Glad you enjoy it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shakin:
I have a problem with my keyboard and the dictionary/auto correct.

The z and the y are swapped around and space is in different language.

When typing it wont suggest words or auto fix them. Its like i dont have a dictionary

Other than that its an awesome rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Go to settings - input and settings for the keyboard and change your language. It should use your system language but it doesn't for some reason.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
so i'm guessing i'm the only one who has the prob with google music when i have the charger and headphones plugged in at the same time?

it's happened on every version of this rom except when i have all swap disabled or if i unplug the charger or the headphones.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shakin:
Yea i have changed every setting I've seen to us language and downloaded the English dictionary
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shakin:
Never mind I find one setting I missed all is better now.

Thanks for the awesome rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jspina:
Yeah I had something like that happen where it goes to google music in between a YouTube video for some reason. Also the music was kinda messed up with the sound when I would lock the phone.

I don't know if that's anything like what you are talking about or not though
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Ok so I flashed 120625 Kernel and such, I'm just curious if you're not updating the kernel version or MOD version as when I look at the About Phone section, it still seems to reflect 6/18 even though I had the 6/24 ROM/Kernel prior to flashing the new 6/25 kernel on top of that, so I'm guessing just haven't gotten around to updating the versions in those locations.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Yeah that particular bit is in build.prop, I was reverting it to older version to fix something and forgot to change it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Good to know, had thought I probably screwed up flashing something perhaps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] parkave85:
I am unable to get google+ instant upload photos to sync on the most recent elitemod & kernel. I would really like having all those photos back so any help would be greatly appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
No idea about the photo sync, can you try and flash full gapps and try again? It is possible the google gallery bloat is required to do that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] parkave85:
Hmm worth a shot I suppose... I pulled the gallery.apk from the aokp zip but there's no settings in the app. I will attempt a flash of full gapps asap
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] parkave85:
I pulled the googlegallery.apk and pushed to system and successfully syncing now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
New version

New EliteMod 120626 is released!

Please make sure you wipe cache + dalvik, the ROM base is updated to AOKP b40.

Hope the new opera tweaks will work well for you. Be aware that after a clean flash, the opera tweaks will not take full effect until you run Opera once and reboot (opera profile can't be transferred safely, so I'm using a hack).

For update flash, you may want to clear the cache in Opera to get best results.

Kernel was not updated since yesterday, 120625 has been working well for me with < 50MB swap usage after 2 days of use. No lags :)

Changes:

- better opera tweaks

- mild opera ad-blocker (my own brew ported from firefox, should be quite adaptive internationally)

- move Incredicontrol to device so that it can be easily uninstalled and replaced with SetCPU if desired (full ROM only)

- synced to AOKP b40 base

- kernel 120625 without changes

+ added GTalk and Gallery to mods, if you need it - flash it.

GPS does not work

Thansk for this ROM, I was perfectly happy with that. Until today, when i first time tried GPS and it is not able to see any satelites. I tried to flash new radio, did efs wipe, cleared davlik cache. non of know procedures worked.

I had about 10 different ROMs before this one and GPS always worked well. So what might be a problem here?

One more thing, I don't even see GPS icon in status bar when GPS is on.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DRSdroid:
Odd.. i've always had random gps issues with some roms, and i've had them on every single ICS rom i've ever used (even after update the radio and lib).

GPS status in the market usually forces it to lock almost instantly when you open the app. If that still doesn't work, that same app can clear GPS state. Unless you have something else seriously wrong, it always does the trick
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Try to turn your GPS off and on again, it helps when it gets stuck.

The ROM has GPS libs for .19 radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] x.para:
I just restored CM9 Beta 13 and GPS works there, no issues. What radio is this ROM supposed to work with GPS? I flashed today this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1632482 but no luck.

Also i did several times GPS on/off. no result.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Works perfectly for me, GPS locked in less than 2 seconds on Navigon, that was with empty EFS cache, so super fast lock.

Double check the radio version in bootloader. Or full wipe and try it without any apps installed.

We are in similar location (JČ for me), I see no reason why this wouldn't work. Try to update your GPS application perhaps.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] x.para:
Thanks for hints. It is fixed now.

Solution: restore previous ROM via Rom manager, use GPS, restore back this ROM and it work. But don't ask me why :)

Anyway great ROM, giving thanks and remain on this thread :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
By the way just to re-iterate, with kernel updates I just flash on the new kernel so no biggie, but if I had the latest rom/kernel prior to the 120626 rom release, can I simply flash the rom over on it, and not worry bout my existing GApps, T-Mobile Wifi Calling, audio boost, etc stuff? Or should I probably be prepared to reinstall all those.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
The /system gets wiped every time you install a full ROM, so you need to reflash everything that goes there. That's mostly everything. Still flashing gapps can have unwanted results, use my packages in mods if you can help it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
:P Though your mods are only GTalk (which I don't use/want) and Google Gallery (which I don't use/want), I do use maps, gmail, drive, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
Well there are more google apps bundled than in the regular gapps package. Did you know? lol

Mods are only for those which may be helpful to someone and I removed them, the rest should be there out of the box, or close.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
Yea I'm not expecting you to put them in, just saying I actually use them despite your advice not to install them and use your mods instead, but you haven't provided any of the google apps I'd use myself :D

For example I looked up what Gapps bundles (based off this http://www.google.com/mobile/android/ which I assume is all that the gapp zip gives)

What I Use:

GMail

Google Voice

Google Goggles

Youtube

Google Contacts

Google Play/Market

Google Maps

Google Calendars (least I think I do... that syncs from my calendar on my Google Apps account right?)

What I don't use:

Google Search

Lattitude

MyTracks

GTalk

Finance

Shopper

Offers

Google Earth

Blogger

Translate

Basically I can't remember what exactly comes from your copy of gapps (if any, though I notice the rom says and gapps when installing).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
I know this requires more work but how about an aroma installer or yes no bianary to choose wht is installed so everyone is happy. I use you apps you don't you use apps I don't. of course this is your project and I am just benifitng from your hard work! truthfully I don't mind installing and removing apps

keep it up, so far you make my favorite gingerbread and ics roms so I won't complain!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
I personally don't mind having to flash separate zip files, since that way he wouldn't have to keep up to date on additional add-ons he doesn't normally provide.

Guess would just help to know for example which apps does he include with rom, vs what I'd have to install the gapps package for (when I First tried this rom I just simply flashed the gapps package since said didn't include em).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
4) Flashing gApps or any performance-boosting packages is not recommended. Latest gApps are already included and tweak scripts may in some extreme cases break sd-ext support.

when i read statements like this i tend to just download what i need from the market and push apps that arent available to my phone. this is what i expect i need to do and i dont mind at all. my suggestion for the aroma installed was to just to help keep people happy and also can be fun to play with here and there, in the sense that up intill a few months ago the most i have ever seen was a yes no binary option at install.

but i can see why a list of included apps may be helpful in the op, then again with the rate nik3r updates his work that may needed to be changed frequently as well!

again thanks for all the hard work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
You can just open the zip in PC and look to /system/app/ :D

Just FYI I know about the problems in Opera, looks like some entries in the adblocker are interpreted differently in Opera. For example FB doesn't work, basically any page with "/?" in the address is blocked, this means something different in firefox and I did not notice.

Also mobile version of pages may be loaded, I am working on a revision. I'm also testing some experimental kernel tweaks to completely eliminate audio skipping. If that boots I may include it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nik3r:
New revision

EliteMod revision and new EliteKernel 120627 are released!

I tested this and it's much MUCH harder to make audio to skip. Hopefully it will be as sturdy in real action as well :D

Also fixed all known problems with new Opera tweaks and adblocker.

120627

- opera loading mobile versions fixed

- opera blocking /? pages fixed

- general audio skipping greatly reduced for kernel

Enjoy and sorry for the frequent updates ;)

LOL , I'm probably gona take the opportunity to just do everything clean since I know I probably screwed something up somewhere lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dukenukemx:
With Titanium backup are there any things we can check off that'll get most of our system settings? Are app backups just fine?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rirozizo:
so i wanted to switch from your Elite CM7 to your Elite ICS. One HUGE problem i had:

i restored my user apps using titanium backup pro, all went fine, all of them were working until i rebooted... when i rebooted, the phone bootlooped, i removed the battery, then rebooted, it booted, but all my restored apps were gone... it's like they've been uninstalled... it's like i've made a data wipe, but i didn't

i'm using your latest version, i don't know if it's an issue with me, an issue with this rom, or an issue with this specific version of this rom...

thank you

EDIT: oh, i went back to my awesome Elite CM7 NANDROID backup i made... good thing i have that, fhew

Web browser

Hi,

I hope that this problem isnt here already, but everytime I use quick controls in integrated web browser, the app falls down .... It is when I go to the internet button in quick controls ... Any solution?

(Pro autora - po najetí na web ikonu v prohlížeči u rychlé volby spadne aplikace ... Co s tím? :))

Thx for any help or advice...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jivebunny:
@n1k3r, Thanks for the updates! Especially the last one with the fix for audio stutter. I thought I messed up somewhere hehe. Other then that, really smooth!

PS. Use the dataswap mod still a try out sort of thingy or just certified badass and working?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
CM7 is Gingerbread, EliteMod ICS is Ice Cream Sandwhich... a direct restore of apps from an entirely different version of Android might have an impact on compatibility. Usually when you switch a major rom it may be best to manually reinstall everything.

---------- Post added at 04:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 AM ----------

I think it's bad ass, but I'd still consider it 'experimental' because it still has a similar potential to damage the internal memory like swap partition on an SD card has the potential to damage an SD card.

As he said there has not been a long time try out on the DataSwap, but I would *think* that if you reboot your device every couple of weeks (as you might when you install updates), that you would be spreading the usage of the swap around the internal storage, and the internal storage is a better quality than most SD cards in terms of write changes.
