From what I understand we have so much ram usage in cm10.1 cause our device was never meant to support it as it has low ram to begin with and an older processor. In actuality it really doesn't use all that much ram just seems that way cause ace is so limited I think.

hi bro, how to swap int to ext? because i use script from cronmod and psn swap all but did'nt work? thanks..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] sharingan:
swapping

i would suggest that you should not go for swapping cos it can result in permanent damage of your sd card

i know one of my friends whose class 10 16gb sandisk card died during swapping after barely six hours

you sholud go for ext partitioning cos it results in less or no damage

even if you want swapping go fo rSWAPPER from PLAY STORE

HIT THANKS BROTHER IT WONT HARM hahah
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] nikwen:
Just to make sure that we are talking about swap, not about Int2Ext. This is what I mean: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging

I'm using Swapper 2 on AOKP.

My experience: You need a class 10 card. However, after using it for about 3 months, it's much slower than it was when I got it. Now swap slows my device down. However, it can be useful for apps which consume much RAM.

Swap is fast in the beginning but after using it for a while, your SD card will be damaged. (And let's face it: If we buy a new SD card every 3 months for some time, it would be cheaper to buy another device.) In fact, I am thinking about permanently disabling swap.

But the first 2 months it was great. And Swapper 2 is a great app.

Technical details:

Every flash storage (SD, SSD, USB sticks) has a limited number of write actions it can handle. So the memory cells die after some time.

And if you use swap, the phone writes to the SD card VERY often. (Because the RAM of our Ace is so small, it writes even more often than on other devices.) Do you know how often data is written to the RAM? Plenty. The data written to the swap file/partition is not as much as is written to the RAM, but it is still very much. So the memory cells die.

EDIT: Turned it off, and wow! That's fast. But don't forget, it was faster with swap when the SD card was new. :D

MARDON is there a way to reduce ram usage.Thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] sharingan:
same question as yours

how to reduce ram usage
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Mardon:
RAM is meant to be used.

Android keeps closed apps in ram as long there is enough available, to start the app faster on next app start.

If there is not enough ram available to keep the closed app in ram because you opened some other apps, the closed apps will be wiped out of ram to free enough ram for new started app.

Hope this explanation may help to understand the android ram handling.

And the base system core ram usage is bigger now because android itself is bigger now as it was on gingerbread.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] alex_is_the_1:
Couldn't have put it better, this needs to be put somewhere on all jellybean and ICS ROMs as the core process requires more ram to run. Sorry for off topic. :(

Is there a script or mod for optimization of ram ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ark0n3:
did you try with ddrescue from linux? it saved my ass many times with broken or damaged hdd.. it's VERY slow but got me astonishing results
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Mardon:
Useless, hdd isnt detectable.

Tried also usb hdd adapter and connected to my linux server.

Its totally defect so no chance i can recover data unless i get a same hdd again and use the circuit board on my old hdd.

But that possibility seems also impossible as the hdd is not an actual model.

Its a Seagate Momentus 5400 .2 120GB

First steps are done :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ark0n3:

sorry to hear that man, can understand you 100%, even more if code's (and code's sweat :() involved. anyway take a look at timemachine or similar, it really saved my ass (or helped me reduce the time i would kill myself for deleting undeletable files :fingers-crossed:)

ps did you try on ebay or similar-craiglist for any used model in order to change the circuit board?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Mardon:
Not yet. Chance to find the right board is extremely low its a hdd model from 2007!

Maybe i use my hotair soldering station tomorrow, hope that i can fix the circuitboard if its only a contact problem. If a chip is damaged i have no chance to fix it. So i hope its only a contact problem which i can fix at least temporarily to get my data back.

But we will see tomorrow if i'll have success or not.

So wish me luck

adb you need when usin windows pc console.

on device terminal:

Open your terminal app;

Type: logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt (this should create it in internal memory on the tablet)

To send to ext sd card: logcat > /mnt/external_sd/logcat.txt

Great ROM.

I deleted the gallery app (i prefer quickpic), but i lost camera app, i search for a replacement and found this post with a flashable zip (now i know that in last jb camera and gallary are joined).

Is there someone?

simply remove the app from the gallery of the ROM and you stick to root explore app das system permissions and reboot

Top rom

Been using the CM 7.2 for so long. Been seeing so many gaps in my usage for any CM or Android above that. Until today. I installed your 20130810 stable release.

Unbelievable rom, Mardon!!! - and other contributors. Congratulations.

Personal tips:

*before you do anything, get link2sd set up ;)

*Rocket Music Player, for playing music

*csipsimple for basic VOIP/SIP

*internal gps had an iniitial position within 10s. Far better than anything with CM7.2. No need for any gps.conf or secgps.conf modifications.

*for external gps via bluetooth, try Bluetooth GPS by GG MobLab

Can't comment on overall performance/battery usage so far, but seems promising. ondemand seemed to work pretty well, but have changed to SmartAssH3. We'll see.

One thing I'm not sure of: Does this rom do any gpu/3d acceleration? I have all apps checked to use acceleration. My main movie player is MXPlayer. It has the capability to do HW acceleration (and HW+ acceleration). For certain file types, eg MPEG2, it had the capability to do HW acceleration using stock CM 7.2. From my basic testing of various file/encoding types, it seems that there is no native HW decoding for this rom. It defaults to all SW decoding, and is unable to switch to HW/HW+ decoding. Is this correct and expected operation?

Thanks again. You are doing a superb job.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Mardon:
csipsimple is not needed anymore, voip/sip in dialer is fixed in latest nightly 20130817 so no extra app needed for sip voip calls ;)

Some vids in mx player can be played with hw on ace but hw+ not supported on ace.(mx also has the ability to use external codec pack)

btw i only use vids converted to ace resolution on my ace.

(MPEG4-Video)

Also Total Commander's inbuild player function can play my vids.

So better to convert videos to device resolution (saves battery too ;))

Another question: Is there any way to change the Camera video/movie size? It seems to be 320x240, and I can't find anywhere to change that? I'd like to get better resolution if it's possible.

Also seems that music doesn't play through my bluetooth headset (Nokia BH-214). The 'control' buttons work fine, and when in call works fine and I hear through the headset, but music playback goes through phone speaker, and not to the headset.
