ART is slow

Hi Guys,

Just tried ART again om 4.4.4 (Mokee MK44.4) and my phone was running really slow.

This was after clean wipe, and fresh install of some apps.

Sometimes I couldn't pick up the phone when someone called because the dialer app took to long to start.

Before doing a clean wipe again, I changed back to Dalvik to see if it was better.

Now my phone is working smooth again!!

So I don't know if others are experiencing this with ART?

Running same ROM, with same probs
[Desire HD General] PatBig:
Cache Partition too small for ART ?

I wanted to try ART as it is supposed to be faster than Dalvik cache.

I tried with the CyanogenMod 11 ROM by Mustaavalkosta (Respectively Monthly M9 and nightly 2014.09.13) + Google apps micro or nano.

Since I was running out of space on cache partition, I used this trick to have the cache on data partition. I also created an ext3 partition on my SD Card to get more space for the installed apps using Link2SD.

If I don't use the trick to get the cache on data partition, my 289 MB cache partition gets filled up 100% once all my apps are installed, although I still have significant free space on all other partitions.

For both attempts (M9 and nightly 2014.09.13, clean flash, cache switched to ART right after first boot), the ROM is fast and smooth as long as you don't launch any application. When launching any of the installed applications, I get a 5 to 90 seconds black screen before the app actually displays anything.

I am wondering if ART or Link2SD or both are causing this behavior. Or is the DHD just too old to support ART ?

My SD card is a 32 GB class 10 certified and tested, so it should not slow that much my apps?

Anyone else got the same problem and/or found the root cause and/or a fix for it?

Does anyone now if it possible and how to modify the size of data and cache partitions to allow more free space for ART cache ?

I was also unable to install Whatsapp, although their website says it should be ART compatible for android versions higher than 4,4,1. I tried from PlayStore and by downloading the apk from their website with same error message when installing. I checked the fix in the Q&A of their website, but I don't have any com.whatsapp folder in my /data/data/ directory.

For now I will test the same ROM with Dalvik cache to see if I get the same problems or if apps start faster.

Device : HTC Desire HD rooted and S-OFF (with Ace Hack Kit)

Previous ROM (fast and smooth) : Unofficial CyanogenMod 10.1 by PipelinerArd

Current ROM : CyanogenMod 11 by Mustaavalkosta

Base Band : 12.69a.60.29U_26.17.14.11_M

Recovery: 4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.6 RC 3
[Desire HD General] PatBig:
I reflashed (clean flash) the same ROM (nightly 2014.09.14), and installed the same apps and linked them to ext SD partition on SD Card via Link2SD, but I used the default Dalvik cache (on cache partition) instead of ART. The result is a smooth, stable and fast ROM, and a longer lasting battery than with CyanogenMod 10.1 PipelineArd's ROM (my previous daily driver). No random reboots after 3 days, apps launching right away with no black screen. It will remain my daily driver for now. It looks like ART is not (yet?) for my Desire HD...

Switch

Hi 3498BoyZ,

first, thank you very much for this workaround-utility that allow to install the radio on a 4.4.x Android OS.

A question, "switch first to ART" what does it mean? And how can I do it?

Many thanks in advance.

Go in Developer Options and then choose ART

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] Twistomud:
Hey guys, good morning/evening/night.

My father has this problem that has been bothering him for a long time.

Basically the screen is sort of...flickering/low resolution-y

Months ago, it got stuck, never seeming to power up, so my father tried to throw it to a tree (don't know how strong though) and magically (or not) it can finally turn on again, only the screen is all flicker-y/low resolution-y as I have told you guys before :)

Here's a shot of the flicker one and the non-flicker one.

Is there a way to fix it?

Or is it a hardware problem?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] aniket.lamba:
Give it to the service center.They might replace the motherboard.Same problem occured with me 1 year ago.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] :

There is surely a hardware problem with that phone.

Go to the service center to get it fixed.

If you have rooted your phone, you can flash stock rom and kernel, unroot, reset bin count, format everything and hide all the traces as much as possible.

If they find out that your phone is rooted, then you have to pay some bucks to get it fixed.

I still wonder why you throw such an amazing phone. If bug less driver sources are released by BroadCom, you will get ICS/JB stable upgrade from the developers.

Hello I'm currently on the 15.3.A.0.26 update. As far as I know Sony released an update on their 4.2.2. Is it worth updating? Because I got a custom kernel so I cannot download the rom from the update center.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia L] iAyush:
All upon you. Yes, there are don't bugs like the proximity sensor bug but those can be easily fixed. Yeah, camera has also improved a bit. Not much changes though, if you're satisfied with your kernel I don't recommend you to update.

Your choice to be honest.
[Sony Xperia L] Hackner:
I have a question.

Im using stock 0.26 with thunderzap 3.1 kernel. rooted BL unlocked, of course.

But just now Update center notified me of the 1.12 update is available. Its just 40MB

Can I update it through the air and then reflash thunderzap? I wont lost any data and apps, right?

edit: just realized I would also have to reroot, right? but its no problem, riiight?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uqbar:
Since I have switched to CM11 to test it, I have found the backup and restore seems not to work any more.

Deaspite having added the GAPPS module (and having put my usual GMail for Apps address and password), CM11 doesn't restore my apps and settings, as it used to be with CM10.2.

This is confirmed by the fact that in Settings-->Backup and Reset-->Backup account i read "No account is currently storing backed up data", while "Back up my data" and "Auytomatic restore" are ticked.

Am I missing anything? If so, what?

TIA.

yes i've been testing it like after 1 hour it showep up on Maclaw website....

it has 1 serious bug(like maclaws says) - Wi-Fi failes to start sometimes...20% of times you start wireless it will fail. It just says wireless is turning on...if you reboot it will work normaly again..(until error pops up).

and is a little bit slow...still improvements have to be done... this is first release...

BUT THE REST IS WORKING PERFECT... ....30 sec GPS fix(i was indoor)....no in-call low volume(is actually quite high)...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] willi9070:
this is the first public release :) but i have been using it and testing for a month now...bugs which i found are as follows

wifi sometimes takes too long to avtivate, had to reboot phone

camcorder is dark and flash always on bug

touch doesnt work after restart if dont use the phone for sometime

battery drains much faster than 10.2 might be cm issue

low call volume

other than these no major issue or lag in operations
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] DaRkRhiNe:
For me no bugs at all

The wifi bug was there at first , but once I cleared cache it was solved

and the video is not dark and no touch bug either

Only one thing the battery drain is more compared to other roms

But overall its good

Contacts problem

Even though I've backup my contacts in my sd card as .vcf file, after installed CM11 I couldn't restore my contacts, I receive "no such .vcf found" error. I can't see my contacts except Google account contacts. No phone number :( I also can't access my sd card. cant see it in file manager file.

Do you have any ideas or solution? :(
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] spiderman07:
for the SD card problem i recomand using ES File Explorer...stock file manager doesn't see the SD Card...

for the contacts problem...take that .vcf card and copy it to computer and open it with something(I think there is something from Microsoft Office Suite that opens it with no problems) and manually get all your contacts.

TIP: when choosing to save a new contact, save it to google account. this way you cand install new ROMS without any problems.

Can somebody test and say if the compass work in the this rom.

It doesn't seem to work for me.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] tasosf:
To access your sd card with stock Explorer (it's not stock!) you have to go settings - advanced settings - access mode - root access.

And ES Explorer is the best alternative.

I'm using Cyanogenmod 11 btw but I believe that I had issues with the cameras on other roms like Honami Moonwalker and the Miui.

Here are some images that I took with my phone that point out the issue.

How much did you zoom on the object, you set you camera very close on the object and then zoom in or something ??

That is not needed in my opinion and kinda useless to complain about it..

An XP is not a camera but a PHONE !!

XP have less developers so be thankfull instead to complain

P.s. Great to see another member that downloaded my rom without thanking me :banghead:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Redcalibur:
The object is like 5 meters away from me and you have a point, it's not a camera, it's a phone but it really sucks how it performed better a few months ago though. :/ And about the thanking, I'll do it on this thread. Your rom prove me the power of my Xperia more than that sony did, the UI was so smooth with it but I just prefer Kitkat for now as it is somewhat different from the xperia launcher that I have been using for several months now.

It really makes me sad how the developers think about us, the users of the masterpieces you guys are developing.

Hi there,

So recently I sold my SGS2 to my brother (in complete working order, I had been using it up until I gave it to him) when I got my n5. He seems to have been getting along fine with it for the last couple of weeks.

He came home today and showed me that the touchscreen is unresponsive (initially tried a battery pull) but no such luck. The other buttons work, and everything appears to be progressing normally with the boot (I can see the wifi connect, he has mobile signal etc.). After about 5 seconds of not interacting with the phone, it dims very slightly and the backlight starts flickering very quickly, but stops instantly if I tap it (although I still can't interact with the device in any other way through the touchscreen), please note this also happens in recovery (so I'm guessing it's hardware).

I've tried doing a factory and cache wipe in recovery but it hasn't helped (I didn't expect it to).

He claims not to have dropped it or got it wet and everything on it is stock (always has been).

Does anyone recognise this issue, or know what it might be/ how hard it would be to fix?

I only sold it to him for £50 as he is family, but I could do without having to give him his money back...

Thanks for any help,

Dan

Difficult to say from this side, if you have the chance to try to check if the connections between the motherboard and the screen are not loose nor unplugged, and do a factory reset, even though I assume it's the hardware here.

If (as I think) a factory reset doesn't solve the problem, I would go for a screen replacement, better if you can try one before buying. If it's not the screen, then go for a mobo replacement. Hope I helped

Hello everyone,

I have a tablet naming HCL ME V1 and it supports only CWM Recovery 5.0.2.8 only.(I flashed it and it booted into recovery mode, no other recovery is booting.)

The recovery which i dowloded(5.0.2.8) has emmc partitions and my tablet have MTD partitions (when i flashed it started giving error like: cant mount cache\recovery\last_log. etc etc.)

so i edited the ramdisk(i replaced cwm recovery.fstab with stock recovery.fstab) but it didn't work for me.

So i decided to build it from source.

I know that CWM Recovery sources are with the CyanogenMod sources.

I want to download Cyanogen Mod 7 sources as zip because I don't have high-speed internet connection. So i will download it at another place.

So, I need a proper guide to build CWM recovery 5.0.2.8

Cwm online builder didn't help me.

And it will be helpful if a kind and experienced dev can make it for me.

Using GPRS/EDGE as a Modem to access internet with Desktop/ Notebook Computer

When I need to connect my Notebook to the internet, I always prefer Wifi or Broadband line. If no such medium to connect internet, I will use PDA and USB cable. First of all, you need a modem driver for Windows 2000/XP and a simple dial-up utility. Both files are available here: USB Modem. It is a zip file and has 2 files, (1) USBMDM.INF, (2) USBModem_Dialer.exe. Just download them and unpack to you Desktop/Notebook. Second, you must set the partnership to your Desktop/Notebook first before proceed following set up.

Go to program and run “Modem Link” and set the connection type. In this case, choose USB and APN and tap on the Activate button (In my example, APN is Peoples.net). The device has switched to the modem mode and is ready to connect.

Photo 1 -3

At the moment you connect the PDA to a desktop or notebook over USB cable, the computer will connect the PDA. Let the system work until you see the

Photo 4,

select third options as red arrow, click Next.

In the next dialogue

Photo 5

, you can see that the new device is called HTC USB Modem. Even though the system offers to do this for you, you'd better select the second option as red arrow to be able to select location of the driver manually.

In the next dialogue

Photo 6

, choose the folder where you have unpacked USBMDM.INF from there archive and click Next to continue. The system will be working and configuring for a while. If no problems occur, you have installed the modem successfully.

Go to your desktop/notebook, double click USBModem_Dialer.exe that is part of the zip file you had previously unpacked.

(Photo 7)

As you see the APN must same as PDA one. (In my example, APN is Peoples.net) Click Dial.

Done. You can surf internet with you desktop/notebook.

Important : The key of this setting is that the APN for PDA and Notebook/Desktop must be same. The name of APN which you can ask the services provider.

Please note that all photo is not mine but I tested on my 818pro & Wizard and Notebook and work fine
[Networking] N!co:
Great info! I use my qtek9100 and T-mobileGPRS every day for this purpose. Only thing that is different is that I use the standard Dailup Networking of XP. You don't need to specify a APN but you have to fill in a number to Dial: *99#

I tried the above on my O2 XDA Atom and it didnt work, first in the PDA I was unable to select th APN (the dropdown list was empty). second thing is on my laptop when i tried to select the USBMDM.INF the laptop rejected it as unfit for the hardware.

iv. Create Dialup Connection as you create for normal dial up phone connection: No username or password: Dial up no *99#

fix apn

hi,

u will not be able to change apn anyways.u can only see it.

1st u should setup to access gprs internet on your ppc. this u do by going to

start>settings>connections>add a new modem connection, under select modem, cellular line gprs, next, now enter access point name as given by ur gprs service provider [mine is airtelgprs.com, gprs provider being airtel bengalooru] ,next, username and password as given by ur gprs provider [mine is leave both blank] , finish.

now go to modem link in start, programs, u can see ur apn as u entered.

if u still cannot see, go to start,settings, connections, connections, advanced, select networks, under programs that connect to internet, select the name of gprs u entered in above steps.

now u can goback and see in modem link.

now without activating modem link, browse internet in ppc only to c if all is right with ur gprs. if sucessful, then close pocket ie, activate modem link, connect to desktop or laptop via usb cable, use usb modem dialer or create other connection with no. as *99#[which is better, since in usb modem dialer, u cannot save apn, have to retype everytime]

any problemo in setting up gprs connection in ppc , contact ur gprs provider for settings. make sure gprs works in ppc b4 u setup to work in desktop.

alternate methods to use wizard as modem would be to use bluetooth DUN, or try pdanet 1.7

I don't find any variations in speed in any methods, all r as gud or as bad.
