I tried several MMS.apk from various builds, including CM10.1 and CM10, but I couldn't find the option to choose between convert or not a SMS in to a MMS when it's too big.

I don't know if I was using CM10.1 or CM10 for testing purpose at the time but I have a lot of big SMS sent on the mother's day, so I'm sure this option exists. I remember that when when I found it, I became surprised because for a long time it was gone.

Someone could tell me if there is some other apk that I should try besides MMS.apk? (I didn't had time to flash builds...)

Doesn't anyone ever found this option? :confused:

You can install Mokee OS to feel the HALO experience and a lot of anothers features like PIE, ListView animations (very funny), etc..

MKOS is in RC state and have daily updates.

Well halo is just two (very big) patches. You could fork quarx's repos and merge them yourself. I don't think Quarx will do it unless cyanogenmod includes it...
[Defy Android Development] Blechd0se:
Hello,

i made some recent changes and its time for another nightly from me :)

There are very big changes this time, because we now have some sort of good cpu scheduling, i thought we should have the same

for our gpu. So i did some research and noticed our gpu stays all the time on its max frequency which can cost much battery.

So i wanted to create some sort of gpu control driver which handles this issue. For now its very stupid; while screen is on its the same

as before the patch, while screen is off it locks frequency to 50mhz to save battery. Also in theory its now possible to overclock/underclock

the gpu on the fly, be carefull here. I need to adjust a bit and create some sort of gpu scheduling algorithm based on cpu load.

This is only a proof of concept, i appreciate any feedback! Full changelog;

* Backported Cleancache from 3.4

* Backported zCache form 3.3 and enabled it by default

* enabled dynamic fsync back again and updated it to prevent data loss

* new and shiny gpu control driver!

* smaller changes and fixes, look at my github :)

I let the debug messages enabled for those of you who are interested in (nearly) realtime gpu-statistics. I already did a commit for this,

because i wanted to share the code with Quarx and those who want to help.

[MENTION=221788]Blechdose[/MENTION]: Unfortunately, your new kernel isn't working well for me too. Even though I don't have problems as severe as [MENTION=3344838]ccav2000[/MENTION] had, I notice much less available RAM.

To compare this, I cleaned it with the system manager of TrustGo (a very good virus scanner with a small memory footprint BTW!), which leads to 70 MB of available RAM with your kernel, whereas with Quarx's latest kernel, I have 200 MB of available RAM doing the same procedure!

So, with your new kernel, I have so little available mem that large apps such as Navigon are not even able to start. :(

Therefore I'm back to Quarx's latest kernel for now.

However, I really appreciate your latest changes (they look very promising!) and hope that you fix the memory problem soon! :fingers-crossed:

And yes, problem found, without zcache the problem is gone. [MENTION=4855459]Blechd0se[/MENTION], seems there's a problem with zcache, kills the RAM in some of us.
[Defy Android Development] Djonmayer:
Thanks for your help. But I get "E:signature verification failed" message in stock recovery now...
[Defy Android Development] Blechd0se:
Ah i see, thanks for log. Btw. did you overclock cpu?

I can reproduce the low-ram problem, i just didn't notice the difference in UI. It was the same for me having 50mb free or 200mb.

Everything was running well :) For those of you who encountered problems; just delete cmdline in my update.zip before flashing

or delete "zcache" manually in /system/bootmenu/2ndboot/cmdline

I have some ideas about this problem, need to investigate it, but maybe its intended because zcache stores its transparent

pages directly in ram (obviously compressed) and therefore its not "good" for memory hungry applications and a swap

partition such as zram is recommended. You can try enabling zram and see if your applications runs smarter.

We can set the space zcache takes in ram, maybe i should look there.

Zcache is probably usefull for those who have either no problems with big apps or for those who already use some sort

of swap. At least oracle recommends that and because its only a bootparameter its easy to change. Need to find the sweet spot here :)
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Yes I overclocked to 1.2GHz and is working quite well for me :). Zcache should not be enabled by default in my opinion since it can cause issues.

Thanks for your reply ANTIGA PRIME,

I am not having wifi jamming problem.. wifi is not switching ON, it's just trying to switch on and fails to do so.

anyways, m really excited to see this thread, new wifi firmware, hope it solves my problem that is stopping me to try any build after 0703 ( CM10 or CM10.1), I hope, I have to just follow the instructions provided that are there in that thread ( even if wifi is not working at all )

Thanks for this, i'll try to replace that /wifi folder, without unzipping (using 7zip)

Actually I replaced it with the wifi folder of last build that worked for me ( CM10 0703 ), hoping that it contained wifi driver installation.

The procedure I followed was full wipe for newer builds (always).

I deleted the " /data/misc/wifi " as quoted in many threads.

I will try the new firmwares and get back later, thanx :D

zSWAP

heard about zswap yet?

it's like zram but compresses the pages written to disk and therefore saves lot of i/o (up to 50-80%) and is also useful to minimize wearing out of flash cells...

recommended for slow harddisks and ssds... afaik integrated since (linux) kernel 3.9 but also available as a kernel module...

[Defy Android Development] Neurom707:
Is the overclock only to 1Ghz? or can i find a kernel with higher oc?
[Defy Android Development] niksy+:
The kernel hasn't got much to do with overclocking... Go into bootmenu to set your clocks. My 4th clock is 1100mhz with vsel set at 54. But not every CPU is the same and not every can work with the same amount of power - some can work with even less, some need more. For 1.1ghz, start from 57 and try getting it lower, one by one. For 1.2ghz, start at 63, or something like that I guess (haven't pushed mine to 1.2 yet)

[Defy Android Development] Blechd0se:
Yes zcache is has its advantages here. Anyway i followed you suggestion and disabled it by default. If somebody wants to use it, one can

simply turn it on. Damn... we need this kernel app...

@stat'o'flow nearly missed your post, but yeah sounds interesting, i will have a look at it, because backporting is now kinda easy.

For some volunteers, here is todays nightly, changelog;

* overclock/underclock your gpu on the fly!

echo 2200 > /sys/kernel/gpu_control/max_freq << This will set you gpu to 220 mhz

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/gpu_control/gpu_control_active << This will disable the gpu control driver

* much cleaner code :D

* disabled zcache by default (enable it in cmdline if you want to use it)

And yes, overclock is capped at 250mhz for now.

Edit; dont turn wifi on for now ;)

[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Not necessary, I've installed CM 10.1 plenty of times and never had to delete anything.

But it does make sense because you didn't wipe /system, and it's well known that CM 10.1 occupies more space than CM 10, and it backs up part of your configuration and gapps. Next time do things right before asking for support on the development thread.

And it's not NECESSARY per sé, but I've already seen plenty of cases of people complaining that this and that doesn't work, and it gets fixed by wiping /data, and sometimes even /system. Even I've done it a few months ago, and then things all of a sudden don't work.

So, regarding your problem, I'm pretty sure it's because you didn't even wipe /data, much less /system. Try again but do these first.

Re: [JB+] CM10.1 Android 4.2.1 for the Defy(+)

Ahoy! Nick Shvelidze! :D

Porting Defy ROMs to Bravo won't be hard. I remember a case when a guy flashed an ICS ROM of ours directly on his Bravo and it worked without problems. There is a porting guide on XDA if you want to port another ROM.

This one is unstable. WiFi, BT, RIL and many other things don't work for now. You can try porting CM10 (4.1) or compiling from sources.

[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
It is de facto frozen for a while now when it comes to the kernel. The rest of the Android OS gets some updates, other people like sevenrock make their own builds with the latest updates. The main focus now is 4.2.1 and it's new kernel.

It's a known bug, display fails to wake up from stand by. This is an experimental build, don't expect it to actually work.
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
I have a thread under Bravo general that's specifically for porting Defy roms -- CM7-10.1, Miui, and CyanMobile. Go there and I'll give you all the help that I can. FYI, for testing, you can flash any Defy MB525 or Custom Kernel Plus rom and it'll work on the Bravo. Picture camera might not work, but we can use libsoccamera.so (Green Lens Defy camera driver) for video and panorama. Capacitive buttons will be off when using custom kernels.

@Quarx

Would it be possible to modify the camera app\framework to swap between libkobecamera.so for pictures and libsoccamera.so for videos? With libsoccamera.so the Bravo can record video up to 848x480 in 16x9 aspect ratio, with libkobecamera.so we're limited to a max of 640x480 and only in 4x3 aspect ratio. The libsoccamera.so videos actually look better as well, at least to me anyways :p.

And I'm also about to start kanging PA for CM10. Do you think it would be better to use PA as a base and pick in your changes, or use your repos as a base and pick in the PA changes? Same ??? for 10.1. I've done it both ways before and using your repos as a base seemed to work better. You know more than I do, so I'd rather use you recommendation versus my assumption.

Thanks for everything. If it weren't for you supporting the Bravo, I'd have never bothered attempting kanging or messing with source nor would I have learned any more than Defy porting -- and for that I really do thank you.

EDIT: Kayant informed my that you told him to start with the other rom and pick in your changes, so that's what I'll do.

Re: [JB+] CM10.1 Android 4.2.1 for the Defy(+)

[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
I've been having an idea lately and I'm not sure if its possible or worth trying, but would it be possible to strip mmclbk1p21 down to a bare minimum that can only boot the rom (100mb or less?) and move /system and /data to two loopback mounts on p24, with a third loop using the rest of p21 as an sdcard\tmpfs\swap\? We'd lose a bit of space for apps and rely on apps2sd a bit more, but it would get us around the 327mb rom size limit :). I'm not exactly sure what all is needed on the phone for it to boot into 2nd-init or I'd try myself, randomly deleting crap usually doesn't go very well for me :p.

Quarx, maybe it's a stupid question, but I want to know :P

Why do we use of kernel linux 3.0.8, instead of linux 3.7?

i.e: Xperia Z uses linux 3.4

Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work :)
[Defy Android Development] drunk_ryder24:
tried a cross compile on kernel 3.7.5, no gpu drivers for it,meanwhile quarx base of 3.0.8 is from texas instruments wich include powerVR sgx 530 drivers
[Defy Android Development] nostupidthing:
btw, newer isn't necessarily (much) better.

it's very common for embedded devices NOT running the latest shiny new kernels.

granted, part of the reason is that often the drivers are not open source, or properly maintained in the kernel tree... this case can be considered "un"optimal, but this is reality, the (unpaid) devs have school, jobs, families, friends as well. (no, I'm not writing this to you, but to those who feel "robbed" when the volunteering devs don't give them what they want, but is perfectly fine with the banks and big corps raping them)

goto http://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges and see what changes are really useful for our defys, you may find sometimes there aren't much between several kernel releases. one has to understand linux is used by many different types of boxes, from mainframes to tiny embedded devices, so it's perfectly normal that a newer version may have totally no effect for some people/devices.

isn't it better if the latest version is used? yes, to a certain extent. but the problem is that android uses a set of modifications incompatible with the mainline kernel (e.g. wakelock), so you just can't compile for android directly without some (manual) "merging". efforts had been carried out to bring the android subsets into mainline, but it's still far from being completed. (wild guess: in 2-year).

besides, significant features are sometimes "backported" into older kernels from newer releases so even the version no. doesn't change, we're still reaping the benefits.

so, all in all, don't worry too much about it. ;)
