good day!! how do i use ART again? i know how to embed int2ext into the rom. but about ART, I'm confused. :) please help me, thanks!!!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] pico hackr:
enable it in developer options

It is not avail in beta 2
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] pico hackr:
there is no art in beta 2 , i have checked the lib folder of the rom too , there is no libart.so file in the rom , so no art in beta 2

Please help me!!

I use link2sd..when I restore apps from gobackup they are automatically linked....but i restore only 6-7 apps at a time or else it shows no memory...even after that it consumes memory from internal and when i uninstall any of them than it becomes normal i.e, it does not consume memory from internal...some how i managed to install all my required apps by repeating the above process but again when i install anything from playstore.....the internal memory comes down to 16mb from 44mb.... and then even after canceling the download.... memory keeps on reducing drastically.... it come to 2mb.... and keeps on reducing.... please help me... :eek::(

Thanks in advance!!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] harib12:
correct
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] AshRoller:
as now for Beta 2, the only one that works for increase internal is use kernel that use 2 ext partitions. look back to few pages before, you'll find someone posted about it.

Beta 2 review

hwa settings kept crashing every once in a while in beta 2(no idea why and I didn't take a log) and no transparent statusbar, not even with gel or nova. I didn't face any other problem. i just hope the statusbar transparency will be back in the next build.

Keep up the good work!! :good:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] v_superuser:
To get transparent status bar:-

Download and Install Xposed Framework

Install Tinted Status Bar xposed Module

Now, configure both of them(I assume you know that)!

Now open Tinted Status Bar, and open up 'Launcher3' from there.

Select the top option, which would be in bold.

Now, do this- Status Bar tint- 00000000 and Status Bar icons- ffffffff -[It's 8 times '0' and 8 times 'f' ]

You're done!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] deepsagarj:

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] AshRoller:
maybe you create it wrong, two ext3 partitions, bigger for data, smaller one for cache.

it's works for me, but it has noticeable lag, and so many FC.

Use boot.img and modules from Beta 1 and you're good to go! :good:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] AshRoller:
i think to get transparent status bar is just change "ro.config.low_ram=true" to "ro.config.low_ram=false" on build.prop

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] abhijaincha:
Anyways thanks:thumbup:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] v_superuser:
I don't think so. When I first tried getting transparent status bar without Xposed, I had to mod SystemUI.apk as well as android.policy.jar!

EDIT- That was on CM 10.2, I didn't tried on 11 !
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] AshRoller:
see my image attached below, i'm only edit ro.config.low_ram=true to ro.config.low_ram=false

and that the result. :)

Only works with 4.4 and above. You just enabled features that increase ram usage.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] AshRoller:
of course, this is CM11/4.4.x thread and someone asked how to get transparent status bar on 4.4, i'm wrong?

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] razor-:
I didn't find the declaration in beta 1. Does it make a difference in beta 2?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] AshRoller:
what declaration?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] razor-:
ro.config.low_ram="true" in build.prop
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] AshRoller:
you better read this http://source.android.com/devices/low-ram.html

one of ro.config.low_ram=true purpose is to disable transparent status bar on 4.4.

because "true" statement mean the device have 512MB RAM (or lower)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] harib12:
[MENTION=5556515]AshRoller[/MENTION]. Ur making progress too fast ....... besr of luck thankx for your tip
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] galaxyfreak:
Honestly, I didn't know about relation between statusbar and low ram prop. Now toggle for low ram prop on OmniROM actually makes sense.

Can anyone post RAM usage compration with and I will think what I will do.

Another solution is to hack it so it doesn't disable statusbar (that's only loss with that prop, right?) but that's messy and I do not want to step away from CM source. So this is possible, but not preferable solution.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] AshRoller:
me too, after saw similar situation on many CM11 thread.

here's mine, maybe not much help you at all. first image is with ro.config.low_ram=true , second one is with "false" value.

noticeable lag is showing if use "false" value

EDIT: after googling some info, here is pawitp (CM maintainer of galaxy s) definition about ro.config.low_ram string on build.prop http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2526478&page=5

それはTapatalkを用いて自分のhTC Butterfly Jから送られてきた
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] cuteitsme:
I guess the lag is because it is not only allowing the status bar to be transparent but it is disabling many other things listed on the link provided by you in your earlier posts.

http://source.android.com/devices/low-ram.html

EDIT: Just found this and it also confirms the relation between low ram properties and status bar transparency.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] deepsagarj:
But I don't understand the one thing that this was fine in beta 1 even though that line was present back then also
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] cuteitsme:
I was thinking the same so I checked the build.prop of beta 1 and those lines weren't there itself. ro.config.low_ram wasn't there and the ram management was also pretty good in build1.

Hurray..... i removed those line from build.prop of build 2 and my status bar is now transparent..... :) But just on lock screen. Home screen is yet opaque.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nihar.G:
In Beta 1, the prop wasn't set due to this little mistake here:

https://github.com/PicoKat/cm11-device-pico/commit/4101fe0618d5cac3783c807bd64b1f4e9f6c0354

Do thanks the creator/uploader from the thread.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] deepsagarj:
As per this post the low ram optimisations were present in beta 1 also although that line wasn't present in the prop so if I'm not being overly stupid here then just undoing [MENTION=4626557]Nihar.G[/MENTION]'s changes to pico.mk should work for having the transparency back without compromising on the ram management as the ram management on beta 1 was pretty good.

But that's what I think.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] cajhin:
Here's what mikeioannina writes about the impact of ro.config.low_ram:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48472976&postcount=548

I've run 4.4 on two Xperia Rays (512mb devices) side by side, one with low_ram=true, the other false. The difference in "free ram as shown by Settings/Apps" varies. On average I'd say about ±30MB, but that is a very soft number...

On another topic: do you have an idea if stock browser or the Chromium webview is better, *when you have ION gfx libs* ?

I guess Chrome has better compatibility with Google pages, but the classic webview is lighter/faster?

ION Fully working

- Camera

- Video decoding

- Video recording

- New Adreno libs (4.2 blobs from Nexus 4)

- Native Chromium Webview

- No graphical glitches

------------------------------------------

****! Video recording and decoding on ION was working from when I fixed camera. Problem was that I was using androidarmv6 sources, which has no ION support. ****. New build soon.

p.s. we are using fake vsync, but its still very smooth.

Little update:

I was playing around with my phone...

1. No reboots (I wasn't getting them earlier too?)

2. We will stick to classic webview. New Chromium one is FCing after some time because we don't have enough of RAM.

3. Animations and scrolling looks great. So smooth.

4. Next build will be BETA 3, not RC1.

5. Faking Vsync, "true" one requires some more kernel updates. Sachin is working on it.

6. I will take a look at Emoji problem too

7. I've silenced audit logspam.

Or, that's what I thought. It booted! It booted and oh boy, it's so beautiful.

Reboot recovery, flash gapps

The gapps by galaxyfreak wouldn't let me add google account.

So I downloaded Amald's and of course it works. (Btw, Amald, thanks for introducing me to mega.co.nz :D, others, it will download and decrypt from within the tab using javascript, and then open up the "save" download box - which will move the local file to the directory we specify)
