[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] xidominicanoix:
I was following testing567's method in changing the music widget here.

I started thinking: "What else can I change for now until some themes come out for 1.51".

It seems that I can change the music widget, along with the analog clock widget.

Tried to change the Google Search widget but ended up with non-stop force closes.

So here you go:

1. First backup your orig widgets in case you want to use them again later:

2. Now, find a theme (tried it with a JF1.50 theme) that you want to use the widgets from.

3. Extract the files from the theme and navigate to the /system/app/ folder.

4. Now copy the Music.apk and AlarmClock.apk files to a path. REMEMBER THIS PATH!

5. Now lets replace the widgets:

I used ultra spikey's theme here.

So now let's just wait til some themes get ported over to JF 1.51 US :D
[G1 Android Development] MartinFick:
Anyone have a working compcache module for 1.5 builds? The previous JF builds used to have it, but I don't see one for 1.5.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I just tried compcache. Epic fail. I'm not sure if it's just broken horribly on ARM or what, but soon as I do "swapon /dev/ramzswap0", everything starts crashing. No kernel panics, just apps dying. I tried with and without a disk-based swap as a backing store (I have 3 partitions on my SD card).
[G1 Android Development] afflaq:
I tried using the loop method earlier to create a swap on hero on my sdcard. it was successful but it's still painfully slow paging, unfortunately.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I have swap on actual SD card partition right now, and it's actually pretty snappy. Tons of **** running :)
[G1 Android Development] afflaq:
ugh mine bogged down. are you overclocking? It seems like I notice a *LOT* of problems when things start dipping into the swap. Ultimately I'll probably be back on one of your builds tomorrow..just get the goddamned lockscreen from 6.0r1 or help me port the framework over so i can have it on my personal build >=)
[G1 Android Development] ondra123:
I tried it few days ago, with the same result:(. BTW, file-backed swap should be just as fast as a swap partition.
[G1 Android Development] MartinFick:
Hey guys, could you post some details about what you are doing so that we can get an idea of what works and what doesn't?

* What build are you on?

* Where did you get the compcache module? Did you compile it? If not, what kernel was it compiled for?

* What version of compcache did you use?

* What commands (options) did you use to install the module?

* What size device did you use?

* Did you use a file backing store?

* Did you mess with the swapiness setting? If so, what did you set it to?
[G1 Android Development] ondra123:
I run the Dude's 1.2a build. I compiled compcache 5.3 against the android-msm-2.6.27 kernel using the prebuilt gcc 4.3. I tried many combinations of the settings, but it's always the same, processes get bus errors or segfaults... The modules I used are attached.
[G1 Android Development] defconoi:
I can't wait until we figure this out, I think any performance boost or memory increase is definately needed with newer features and roms being released weekly
[G1 Android Development] midnite23:
So how do we put a usable pagefile swap partition on Hero? I've been looking all day how to do it, but I'm not finding much.

[G1 Android Development] defconoi:
I'd rather use squashfs with unionfs to compress /bin /and lib to save space and optimize speed, then use more device memory to create a swapfile instead of using an sd which would be slower. Although someone needs to set up a build environment and build a working compcache module and use that with my ideas above, once done android should run how it should have since october

Defcon
[G1 Android Development] midnite23:
I nominate you. :D

But I have my app2sd and I have a bit of free space left on the internal. How much space would a swap file need? And also, what would be faster, the dalvik cache, or a swap file on internal?
[G1 Android Development] geekingitup2005:
From my understanding swapper doesn't work on 1.5.
[G1 Android Development] dixxa:
bad understanding :) since it works and I'm using it :D
[G1 Android Development] geekingitup2005:
Sure it runs and installs fine but after looking at it for an hour it never actually used the swap. :P It always stays at 0 bytes used.

[G1 Android Development] MartinFick:
Let us know if you do not experience too many force closures eventually. I do whenever I use swap with JF1.5. I keep trying it every now and then just to eventually be disappointed.
[G1 Android Development] MartinFick:
Could you please explain what you are suggesting again, I can't understand it. For starters, there is no /bin on android, which lib are you referring to? And what kind of space are you trying to save by doing this (which partition? RAM?)? How would this optimize speed?

How does unionfs come into play in your scenario?

If you use the device memory (I suppose you mean flash, not RAM) for swap you will be wearing out your internal flash fairly quickly which, unlike an sdcard, cannot be replaced easily.

Compcache cannot use a file as backing store yet, only partitions.

If you have a great idea which I do not understand, please accept my apologies, but what you wrote sounds like you just chained together a bunch of buzzwords without understanding them. If you have a potentially viable idea, please enlighten us so that we can implement it. :)
[G1 Android Development] Gimpeh:
The dev for the Swapper app has mentioned that he plans to have it compatible with 1.5 next week. I can't wait.
[G1 Android Development] MartinFick:
I tried your modules, also without success. Although I was able to load them, I would get app force closures almost immediately. I tried setting the swappiness to 10 and then 1. I also created a swap partition and tried the modules with and without the partition as backing store with the same result. I always tried a very small compcache swap disk, 1024K. The swap partition was 512MB.
[G1 Android Development] MartinFick:
While I would be happy if that's true, I tried using swap with 1.5 with and without the swapper app with bad results (app force closes). The app itself did not seem incompatible, it seemed to install and run as designed on 1.5, did it not for you? It just seems like 1.5 does not do well with swap, this does not seem specific to his app.
[G1 Android Development] rich0:
That at least isn't a problem - you can use a loopback device to turn the file into a device.

However, I share your concerns about flash wear.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I just tried compcache straight from the HG repository.. Still no luck, same results as 0.5.3. Everything just crashes, Zygote dies about 5 seconds after I run "swapon /dev/ramzswap0". Both with and without backing swap (real partition). I'm using kernel 2.6.27.24 in my build.

Nothing special in the kernel log..

[G1 Android Development] MartinFick:
I can't help but wonder if compcache is not the problem, but rather swap in general in 1.5 since most people seem to have apps forced closing with swap only (no compcache) eventually. Perhaps compcache just exasperates the problem with swap in general?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I have no problem with plain swap on an MMC partition at all.
[G1 Android Development] MartinFick:
By "MMC", do you mean internal or on the sdcard?
[G1 Android Development] bilclintonsdaman:
i have swap running on an ext2 partition on my sd card, it slows it down after a while but doesn't close apps or bug out or anything. i'm using cyanogen's rom
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
On an SD card partition. You can't use the internal MTD devices for swap.
[G1 Android Development] MartinFick:
Uh, why not? Obviously since I have been arguing against it, I don't want to, but what prevents it?
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
The MTD drivers won't let you do it. I tried it with the cache partition and it complained. I think there is an mtdswap module floating around out there but it's very out of date.
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
So, swapper for root users works for me on cm3.3.5 :-)

But I can't, as mentioned before, use the internal space, such as the cache partition.
[G1 Android Development] MartinFick:
So, perhaps swap only works on faster sdcards? Perhaps when used on slower ones, it takes too long to swap in/out apps that the android monitor (what process is it?) decides that the currently blocked app (due to slow swapping), is too slow to respond and it force closes it? It might explain why some people see this, and some don't. Do the people for whom it works have faster cards? If so, perhaps there is a way to make this monitor wait longer when using swap before deciding that a process is unresponsive?
[G1 Android Development] Kinslayer81:
Question about SD card wear levelling

If I make a swap partition on the SD card, will the wear levelling only write to blocks reserved for this partition? e.g. once I wear the partition to pieces, can I create a new partition elsewhere on the card and all this time the rest of card will be fine?
[G1 Android Development] ei8htohms:
compcache and Linux-swap questions

I've been playing with compcache and Linux-swap on a few of the recent CM experimental builds but I've got a couple points of confusion about settings and compatibility that I was hoping someone might have some insights on.

I've been using this userinit.sh file and just commenting out various lines or changing values to see what's what:

#!/system/bin/sh

#SWAPPINESS
echo 24 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;

#echo 528000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq;

You'll notice that I have about everything turned off at the moment, but I left the code in for context and in case anyone else wants to play with those settings.

I only just turned on compcache (without backing swap) and Linux-swap together to see what happens because I heard some folks saying they thought it gave them good performance (in the CM Experimental thread and perhaps in Huanyu's User Configurable Userinit thread).

My questions are these:

Does it make sense to run these side by side or is it even effective? Does one of them dominate or completely mask the other so that you're really only experiencing the effects of one of them? I've tried compcache with and without backing swap, but not enough to tell the difference in performance, but I know some folks seem to think it's better to let compcache handle both. Any thoughts on that?

Can you set the swappiness for compcache and Linux-swap separately? I also heard some discussion about this in Huanyu's thread, but didn't really see where or how to do it.

Thanks for any comments or advice you might have to offer!
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
1. If you have an extra partition on your sdcard, and you really want to run both compcache and a swap, I suggest doing the compcache/backing swap option. Compcache was designed to use backing swap as an overflow.

The userinit script you have looks old. CyanogenMod 3.9.6+ has support for compcache 0.6....you look like you're running 0.5.

I would have a look see at this thread, if you haven't already. I personally run compcache and the backing swap....but may change that eventually. I don't think the compcache thing is for our G1's. It seems to make it slower over time.
[G1 Android Development] ei8htohms:
take a closer look at the script

The script I'm using has 0.5 (commented out) and 0.6 (enabled) options.

I've tried with backing-swap and am now trying with compache plus Linux-swap and the latter seems to work better, but I can't tell if it's any better than pure Linux-swap. I agree that compcache doesn't seem to generally deliver the best performance, but I'm still experimenting with it.

I have been following the Huanyu userinit thread but since I'm not using his script I thought this was a more appropriate place for compcache discussion not related to his script.

Thanks for your input!
[G1 Android Development] pinetreehater:
Personally, I think the Compcache just slows down the swap. I don't know, I still have it enabled but it feels like after a while the phone needs a reboot. I don't remember it feeling like this with only a linux-swap.

I'm going to wait until CM gets good and stable...by then, I hope to have made a decision about how to config my userinit.
[G1 Apps and Games] Paul22000:
... with a search feature. Does it exist?

I'm currently using Text Edit, but it's pretty horrible for large text files, and doesn't have searching. I use Vi sometimes, but that's just a pita.

Anyone know of a free text editor with search capabilities?
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
I gotta say, vi, though even more vim (the "enhanced" version) is probably one of the very best (if not ABSOLUTELY the best) text editors ever written. Yes, it does have a *VERY* steep learning curve, but when you really get to know it well, there is absolutely no faster or more powerful way of editing text files.
[G1 Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Yeah, I'm not a fan of Vi.

Does anyone know any other alternatives? Perhaps, is there a way to use nano?
[G1 Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Is there *ANY* other way to edit a text document aside from Text Edit and Vi??
[G1 Apps and Games] djind:
documents to go?

quickoffice?
[G1 Apps and Games] Paul22000:
QuickOffice can only open/view files; it cannot edit at all. And Documents to Go is too expensive for my budget. (I only need .txt file editing anyway.)

I guess I should rephrase: Is there ANY other FREE way to edit a text document on the G1 aside from Text Edit and Vi? :)

Are the text editing options on the G1 really that limited?
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
Pick your favorite open source console text editor and compile it for arm.
[G1 Apps and Games] Paul22000:
How would I go about this? Any guides on here that explain this?
[G1 Apps and Games] kizer:
Yeah give me pico. ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
This task really isn't for newbs, but here's an idea of what is involved anyways:

http://android-tricks.blogspot.com/
[G1 Apps and Games] rondey-:
I have done some searching, I cant find a text editor that I like. I would like one that can run with SU privileges so I can modify scripts I keep in /system/sd. If I need to I can remount it so that it would save, that wouldnt be a big deal, I would just like to not have to move them to my sdcard, edit, then move back.

I am also not familiar with linux so vi isnt for me if that would work, just looking for a decent alternative with a GUI if possible.
[G1 Apps and Games] Freedomcaller:
There used to be a cool app in the market called ptexteditor or something but its gone now :(
[G1 Apps and Games] glock30:
Somebody please compile nano... If I knew how to do it... I would... but I'm too noob for the instructions that were given a few posts back... :D
[G1 Apps and Games] skrki:
ES File explorer

For editing text files you could use ES File explorer. I found I was able to open, edit and save my userinit.sh and user.conf. This is quite enough for me! :)

Sure enough, it is not able to open /system/sd, but it's ok, because you can copy the files from the terminal. You could even make a simple script that would do it for you..

Until someone compiles nano or vim ;)
[G1 Apps and Games] Fmstrat:
I'm bringing this thread back from the dead simply because this thread is the first Google result from XDA for text editors, and the discussion here is the exact one that was going on in my head (around vi and nano). I eventually found 920 Text Editor, which has programmatic syntax highlighting, root mode, and is free:
