[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] leslie lee:
I had the same problems ie storage only 14.54mb and 56.34mb in Program.

How to increase the Storage space from 14.54mb??????

My camera and record buttons do not function???????

What happen when the storage space got used up after installing programs as 14.54mb is not much??? Wil the RamDish of 63.95mb takes over??????

Please help thanks

Hi Guys

I am currently running the Sin Merged v2.0 Windows 2003SE version of the OS on my XDAII.

What are the benifits of upgrading to the new 2005 OS?

does any one know if this version of the OS has less or more bugs then the 2003SE version I currently have?

Many thanks!

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] fudgebottom:
Has any one tried this new update as yet and has used the older 2003SE OS, if so please could you let me know how you are finding it so far?

Is it stable?

What are the new features?

Is it worth the upgrade?

Many thanks :D

YESS ... and with this ROM I feel littlebit faster ....
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] fudgebottom:
hi indra9110

Many thanks for the reply :D

Where you also using Sin's 2003SE ROM?

Have you noticed any problems with this the new 2005 ROM as yet?

Sorry for all the questions, I am trying to get my phone as stable as possible and have had a few issues with the original 2003 as well as 2003SE (better then original though) so I was hoping that the 2005 ROM would be even better?

Any extra details of what is included in this rom would be great as well as is it just a matter or running an EXE file and it does the rest for you? (As Sin's 2003SE rom did?)

Many thanks!

TofClock has just posted his modified 2.01a ROMs (three versions with differing RAM disc sizes 0, 32 or 64) with all the fixes and tweaks identified as being needed in WM5 for the Himalaya (so far)... a few minor ones remain mainly dependent upon country, exact device etc but in the main it is receiving very good marks for speed, stability and functionality. I would certainly recommend it over WM2003SE.

Hi Mallow1

Many thanks for the reply, although I am more confused as to which one is better and what I should do now... LOL

Any idea as to what the diference is between these 2 roms?

Also do these both have support for Australian phone providers and settings?

many thanks guys!

FB
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] fudgebottom:
why does not many people seem to be using this ROM? Not much information about it :-(

Even the other ROM that Mallow1 seems to have a few issues.

Does this ROM have the same issues?

I'm trying to find a more stable and slightly faster ROM then the Win2003SE (Sin Merged 2.0) that I am currently using :-D

Has any one every found a rock solid ROM that works on the XDAII in Australia?

Cheers guys!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading] Mallow1:
fudgebottom,

WM2003SE is not as good as WM5 (which haspersistant memory for your data so it won't get wiped when the battery goes, plus it has enhanced features over and above 2003SE in that it is the next generation up and benefits from chnages as to how users use their phoen.. too many to list but there is plenty to read in all these forums).

WM5 2.00a was adapted by BuzzLightyear from a plain vanilla official ROM (i.e. a ROM not modified to work on any specific pda platform). Buzz tweaked the basics so that it would load and run on our Himalayas, but no other mods were done to it. TofClock has then undertaken the other work needed to cutomise 2.00a to run better (faster, more stable and with less bugs). These ROMs are know as 2.01a (there are three so far each with a different split inthe memory allocation... WM2003SE allows the user to move a sliding bar to rebalance how much memory is used fro storage and how much for runnign programs. Because WM5 has persistant memory.. tis cannot be done and the allocation occurs by choising which ROM suits your needs best, 128MB RAM, 96MB RAM and 32MB "additional" storage (i.e. total still equals 128 MB), or 64MB RAM plus 64MB additional storage (the last is the one I use).

From what I've read, I think that all earlier versions of WM5 were not vanilla WWE (i.e. were in another language whichwas then translated back to English and had been originally service provider branded). All this was BuzzLighhtyear' work. WWE is World Wide English by the way. So the original ROM was then changed to work on Himalaya and bugs ironned out as best could (as we all beta reported). The last generation of these ROMs was 1.71 versions which still had various issues with their performance. In theory therefore getting hold of a vanilla ROM and modifying it for the Himalaya would therefore be the purest, cleanest route to go forward with. This is what 2.xx is based on.

WM5 2.01 versions are therefore cleaner and faster and more stable so far. If you wish to upgrade these 2.01a 128, 2.01a 96, 2.01a 64 are the best to date (Tofclock is working on further modification as these things continually update ad infinitum). Their minor bugs can be read over in Buzzdev.net where this is all documented in the posts/threads. Its easy to find... go read! The only difference between the three 2.01a versions is the memory allocation as mentioned above.

Hope you are less confused, but I have to say, read more as all you are asking is covered in these forums, wikis and related forums. Also these sites as the nme suggests are developer sites. Software is underdevelopement (beta) by definition. HTC (the makers of the XDA ii/ Himalaya, haven't released an official WM5 ROM for Himalaya, they did with WM2003SE). So if you are interested in beta work/ developement then go ahead and reflash with the WM5 ROM of your choice but there will always be somehting not 100% with the result. That's why we are all compiling the issues and tweaking ROMs.

Hope all this helps.

Kin regards - Mallow1

Don't know what's wrong but this Kernel made my phone lagging as hell and unusable..

My rom is untouched cm11.

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

Okay looks like the "Hyper" governor caused all my problems.

But also with other governor it laggs and cpu always stays at 384 mhz and gpu always on 177 mhz. This happens even with "performace" governor.

Even recovery laggs as never before. This kernel has many, many problems for me.

Also flashing just the open semc zip takes verry long, it's flashing for five minutes now!

Benchmarks are a way of wasting time. AnTuTu, at least. And Quadrant.

You are free to test and compare, scores vary by device, so a score of mine means nothing to you,
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mr-tical:
Well i tried and... :/ it's little laggy, i see mainly in settings while scrolling.

Tried few governors and shedulers, but without succes.

And is this normal that boot splash is the same from Rayman? OpenSEMC?

And in settings > about is RAYMAN-CAF etc also.

And availble memory decreased to 619MB from 628 of Rayman.

But thanks for alternative :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
I still have some issues to iron out, but it isn't supposed to be any more laggy than the kernel that originally comes with the ROM...

Yes, the image, for now, is still the OpenSEMC one, and the info in the settings, I have no idea about.

It's either something from the kernel source (which I doubt) or the ramdisk, which is, as stated, still the OpenSEMC one.

The main bug that, to my surprise, nobody has started complaining about is that the CPU won't go over 1404MHz.

The RAM amount, you shouldn't be worried about. O3 takes some for itself, but even a 50MB change won't change anything for you, unless you plan on multitasking with games (GTA San Andreas is out, though I doubt it'll work on the nozomi).

Also, to all, don't bother asking for GPU oc, I have to fix a few CPU and scheduler bugs (yes, they're in the original kernel as well -- besides the CPU uc issue) first. In the meantime, I'll just make a normal, non-oc kernel with all the governors and schedulers and O3... So y'all don't freak out because of those wee bit 200MHz... :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mr-tical:
Thanks for answer.

The main problem for me was the laggy scrolling and laggy system.

Not much but i feel this and for me it's not acceptable, the stock kernel is better in this so i'm back with him...

So, do your job, do it good and stable and i'm preety sure i will come to test again your kernel?

For now, good luck and Merry Christmas ?

yes me too have the 1% battery issue tried wiping battery status somehow but it did't work and found it a little bit slower

same thing with Paranoidandroid 4.0 BETA :|

going back to stock
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Okay, I guess you need extra explanation:

Unless you're running opensemc beta1 cm11, you have nothing to expect from this kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hYpercrites:
Hello, did you still working on this? i want to try this but i'm on beta 3 and wait for a update from here. :)

As of now, this is considered abandoned, since it's outdated and there's no clear line of updated anytime soon. I'll change the DevDB status.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Okay, I made this one just so I'd stop getting all those PMs about "the new beta3 version".

There's almost nothing here, I did this in 10 minutes while writing homework. Sorry for that, but there's really a ton of it.

Great thanks to [MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION], so go thank him for that. Seriously, without him this would get stuck and abandoned.

Why remove CPU OC dude? XS can handle 1.7Ghz very well as the XSL with the same chip set
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
I am very well aware of what the thing is capable (it's Qualcomm, for heaven's sake!). If I was afraid of it, would I even include it anywhere in the first place? :P

No, my motives are different; mainly the lack of time (and money, I'm broke).

Once I pay back all my debts, I'll buy myself a big SSD for my new PC and get back to you with 5-minute kernel builds (I'm literally saving on every step and it'll still take until April.). This laptop takes over an hour for each, and finding out something doesn't work after 1 hour of waiting isn't nice, really... Especially not when you know you got to stop since you still have 4 grades to get this week.

Also, the last version's CPU clocks were broken (I am a derp), and it only went as up as 1.4GHz (yes, it underclocked itself). Talk about placebo...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dermaze:
Hi,

maybe there's a solution for your time consumption problem: I get most compiling work done in the ramdisk, it's found as /dev/shm under Ubuntu (in my case). Of course it depends mainly on the size of your installed RAM, whether this is a possible alternative to buying a ssd.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Envious_Data:
That makes me like you more

Nice work

Here is a suggestion , the thread has a weird layout

You should have a features title in the op post (and other relevant stuffz)

E.g

1.7ghz oc

Govenors (click for list)

Etc....

(Probably is somewhere but not easy enough for me to find (tired mode belrgh)

Also id like to request a 1.6ghz version and and a 1.83ghz version (unless you have somewhere and im just plain blind)

(If its too much work then its not needed (if you realy want i could compile other versions for you when i have the time)

(Just tell me how you compile (toolchain used(and other needed info)

:D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
The price of RAM here is 10€ per gigabyte. Anyways, I use Rayman's ramdisk, and RAM is almost not used while compiling kernels, so an SSD would do better.

Well, tbh, the features list is the first thing you should see after the title. It's short right now.

I'm definitely not giving you 1.8GHz. The chipset was designed to run 1.7 max, so unless you have liquid nitrogen cooling, I don't suggest it (though that doesn't refrain you from doing an OC on my kernel).

My toolchain should be visible even from inside Android. Google's GCC 4.7. I had a hard time finding it, if you need a link, PM me.

As for the thread being weird, everything is right where it needs to be; on the beginning. If everyone just read the OP, they'd know everything (including features, downloads and changelog), and people usually scroll down, so they can see the FAQ.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nisu4717:
Hey.someone755.are u planning to compile new kernal from LINERO sourse.personaly I think this could be bettet than CAF.

Sorry if m saying too much rubbish.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] amey_gangal:
My friend.. Linaro is a tool chain, CAF is not. CAF is a source for some Qualcomm drivers.. The current tool chain used by [MENTION=4275152]someone755[/MENTION] is Google tool chain
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Wendigogo:
Well, I think [MENTION=5435249]dermaze[/MENTION] just suggests you to mount your kernel sources on your laptop ram before compiling the kernel. This way, all is done in ram and may be a way faster (than a ssd too).

I don't know how big are android kernel sources but for my Linux one it takes around 850MB after kernel/initrd/modules compilation. If you have an amount of 4GB you could create a tmpfs of 2GB and copy/compile the kernel on it. But you'll need to paste it back on your hard drive after the compilation so it could takes more time by this way.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Yeah, I got about 1.5GB of SODIMM DDR2 RAM. That doesn't really help, does it xD

Though every hard drive I've ever owned was slow, so copying those 2GB would be a mess. Best off pushing it aside and building like normal, then buy an SSD when I get the cash for it.

EDIT: Also, for all waiting for more things to come, I'm busy with school and tinkering with something else (might release it when done, not sure about stability yet tho).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE, UNDEAD DEMON, AND FEAST UPON THE BRAINS OF THE LIVING! MWAHahaha..?-- Um... *clears throat* Well, you picked a wrong time to be here. What I meant to say was, I'm bumping this so you all know your favorite CM kernel can now once again be responsible for your phone's overheating!

Isn't that great?

While I have added OC up to 1890 MHz, I do not recommend it -- stay down where the chip can handle it, at 1728 MHz.

Also a note about GPU tweaks;

3D GPU OC may cause the device to become unresponsive so unless you really want performance, don't go over 300 MHz.

While there is one (1, jedan, ein, 一, moja, এক etc.) GPU governor, there is only one! Don't let TricksterMod fool you and do not touch that setting -- changing it could have dire consequenses!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] whitexp:
i see you commit on github,

you used last opensemc repo and just add oc , uv right ?

thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Exactly.

Any reports on how this works in comparison to the "stock" kernel would be appreciated, I haven't used CM eversince the Nozomi became an official AOSPA_Legacy device xD

I did get crashes and reboots on one build, and one wouldn't go to deep sleep (instead rebooting, lmao), but the one uploaded should have that fixed.

If you see any errors, again, last_kmsg and short description of problem, please. I probably already have the solution but I'm not sure until somebody reports an (the) issue.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xDroidZz:
Thanks for the new release :) Trying it out on Paranoid Android.

EDIT: Paranoid Android Didn't boot after flashing this rom lool.

Trying it out at Carbon's Latest release.

Am i doing something wrong or what?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wxl104:
So how does this kernel work on your build.Becuase I have only one cellphone.I need daily use,if I have another can help to test.If can be daily use,I also can test it for you.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
It wont work on mine or carbon ROM because it is using the updated kernel you would have to go back to my test released a few pages back on my PA thread where i said it was using the new kernel. My problem was it kept having FC's after a while. Personally i didnt experience it but i dont use my phone much and i figure that is what causes it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zaidx:
question

am i gonna be able to play modern combat 5 with this kernel?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] saumil007:
Does this kernel supports dt2w ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
answer

youll be able to play it as good as with the base cm11 kernel if not better. that said i doubt the device is capable of running that game.

A request from my side; the second you get a reboot, grab the last_kmesg log and paste it. I see an issue is in there that I suspect will cause reboots and I have a fixed version ready. But the old saying of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" still applies. Not uploading that until somebody reports a random reboot as I might even add reboots.

EDIT: No, I will not be adding and other wakeup methods. It's a 4.3" device, you should be able to reach every corner holding it with one hand. If not, you either use the volume buttons or realize you need a smaller phone :T
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] saumil007:
Ya ok.. but please try.. i'll really love to have that feature :P
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
It's not that I couldn't do it (it looks simple enough to add xD), it's that I'd be wasting time and space because you request a feature that only a few users would use.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] saumil007:
You were the only one that I expected could add that feature.. Anyways thanks :) :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Lel you seem sad now.

I'll look into it, but I don't promise anything. :P

You also have to understand I'm still dealing with very slow internet and this old laptop (and while I do have a more powerful PC, Ubuntu refuses to run without going ape**** crazy. Part of that is to blame on my RAID array for Windows, another part is to blame on my empty wallet, or I'd have an SSD to run Ubuntu off and no need for that cache RAID hackup).

Also, to everyone, I just experienced a reboot out of the blue, phone just idling next to my laptop. Is that common with the OpenSEMC betas?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] saumil007:
Ohh yess thanks.. I don't mind waiting. :D
