[G1 General] androidmonkey:
Exactly. I spent a week trying different ROMs out, wiping, updating, etc. The ION rev1 is noticeably faster. I was skeptical like everyone else until I tried it. Everything loads faster, from opening apps, going back to the home screen to even making a phone call.

Now Im not a coder (yet) so that’s why I started the thread to see what others think. Something has to be different, I just find it weird that the official builds wouldn’t be optimized to the max.

@jubeh,

I think little boys everywhere are screaming "Wacko Jacko is dead!" ...lol :P
[G1 General] dwang:
Nobody is saying ion r1 isn't faster. It is, but what we are saying is that its not due to dalvik vm or odex files.

Its something else, what that is, dunno?

I mean it could be due to just the odex files, but I myself haven't seen conclusive proof yet.

If we get somebody from the android dev team that says it is, then I'll be convinced.
[G1 General] jubeh:
Then how is ion different from other roms, ion r2? This calls for a file-by-file audit. But anyway, anybody noticed yet that on a clean install ion uses less /data than t-mo's? Both are odexed at /system/app but I don't know if it's the same at framework (ion is), even if both are, what are other builds dumping to /data that ion is not? That might be a clue there
[G1 General] Denkai:
does that about sum it up?

if it does is it possible to ODEX a file and not allow for the system to redo the JIT odex before running the app? it would in theory, probably nanoseconds in reality, speed up the Boot of an app due to not having to "unzip" the .apk file associated. actual operation wouldn't see any difference, but the booting of an APP should speed up, right? or is that what odex does in the first place?
[G1 General] cyanogen:
Sure you could hack dexopt to not call bail(), but it's not likely that the app will actually run if the dependencies have been modified.
[G1 General] Denkai:
Good point, I'd have to find the source code for it, and I doubt that's gonna happen. trying to get my hands on a nk02 build of hero and convert to G1 from there.
[G1 General] Diceman4:
In my opinion Cyanogen ROMS are just as fast as any ION ROM I have tried. Wait for the stable 3.5 series from cyanogen, they are noticeably faster than 3.4.6 IMHO.

[Touch Pro CDMA] Tilde88:
i remember a few days back i was thinking if I'd be able to flash the radio of another CDMA device to my TP. My first thought was from the Rose, cuz its so close (visually) to the TP.... and incidently i ran across a thread that someone had tried it and bricked the deivce... My question is what if we were to hex sign a Mogul radio for the Raphael? Seeing as how a mogul is in the ssme model series (6800) as the TP (6850)... As opposed to the Rose which is model s740... I would try but Im out of town till tomorrow night...

Maybe it's not just the diamond we can share radios with?
[Touch Pro CDMA] mstevens:
Seriously? Your "first thought" reasoning was that a radio from one device might be appropriate for another because they LOOK similar?!

Wow. That's like "reasoning" that a shark liver might be easily transplanted to a dolphin because they're superficially similar.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Tilde88:
thats correct i did think that... but of course after viewing the specs i saw that it was not the same at all...

shocker...

heh...
[Mogul, XV6800 General] brandon3420:
I have a PPC6800 with US CELLULAR. I have never done any rom updates whatsoever. Earlier today my sound was acting funny as it does sometimes so I did a soft reset of my phone. It brought me into the bootloader screen where it says:

TITA100

SPL-1.07.0000

CPLD-9

and Serial at the bottom or USB if I plug in the USB cord.

If I plug in the USB and reboot my phone works as normal but if i disconnect it and reboot its back to the bootloader. I have used titan_exitbl.exe and it works of course until I reboot without the USB plugged in. Why would this be happening and how could I remedy the situation. Seems simple as everything works fine when I boot up with the USB plugged in.

Thanks for any replies.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
You are having a hardware failure. Time to get it replaced.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] rcaryl:
I had that same issue, eventually after upgrading it stopped. Hasn't done it in over 8 months now.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] joesk:
How did you upgrade it?

I have mine stuck in the bootloader. But it has SPL-2.06.0000 CPLD-9 . My phone locked up while I was trying to use it as a modem and reset it with the usb cable still pluged in and got the rainbow screen. Whenever I tried to reset it or hard reset, it would show a screen for a split second that said No image found. I have since then flashed it via the SD method and the USB method with two different sprint roms. The newest one on the HTC site and the last one. I also used the boot exit program and that doesn't work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] plastikuss:
Hi guys, I´m having a problem with the all contacts display in TF3D. When I press the letters column on the right side of the screen, the device shows the contacts names beggining with the preceding 2 letters. Example: I try to find John, so I press "J" and it shows me the names beggining with "H". Is there a solution without hard resseting it?

Txs in advance

[XPERIA X1 General] tincmulc:
Does an always on data connection (EDGE/3G/HSDPA) drain the battery more (even if its idle)?

Do applications (like opera) running in the background (just minimized) drain the battery more?

I think it might even save the battery if you say check some webpage 10 times a day and you have to wait for the browser to load and the data connection to connect and than close it all in the end. That would make things like GPRS autodissconect obsolete.

I know this may have been anwsered before but things like : meh i didnt notice beacuse i recharge it every day or saying its the same and worse in the same breath...........

If someone has the time and will to make a real test than please, I'm sure I'm not the only one who want to know this :D
[XPERIA X1 General] Rudegar:
first

yes

second

depend on if the browser is set to re get the page every X min to get updates
[XPERIA X1 General] tincmulc:
Maybe I didn't form the question right, so let me try to explain what is really bothering me:

How much drain doest it make? Will it be like 10% more a day or will the phone die in 12 hrs?

I cant really test this myself since I use it a lot (calls and other stuff) which is very irregular and I don't have a spare phone to do real testing on the xperia.
[XPERIA X1 General] jhendra:
I always turn on the 3G and basically any programs that is internet based will drain the battery.

Dude...

I know how you feel man but whatever happens here, no one's gonna give a **** about it. If you had an idea and tell the whole world, someone's gonna use it and don't give a **** where they got it from. Gtrab creates ROM based on his will and if he got the ideas from WC, so be it. WC never patented his ideas so anyone can expand it on their own. I believe gtrab never meant to steal anyone ideas.

I go to neither side but I appreciate for both hard works. Don't take things too personally too :D
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Hannigan174:
I totally get where you are coming from, but you do seem to be coming across as just a hater.

I don't know gtrab, but maybe if you asked for cred he'd give. Anyway, it seems that if you want credit for making something you gotta sign your cabs. Otherwise anyone can say they made it.

Hope your rant made you feel better ;)

My girlfriend just got one and I love it. Is there anything close to this on custom ROM or is it not possible to get this in full on the X1?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] SyntheticDistortion:
if think Touch X is the closest one to that...but i think that still isn't the same. It iis the most stable ROM in my opinion.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Rudegar:
if you ask if you can get touchflow on x1 then yes you can get it as a panel

well it replace the normal wm panel

run pretty poorly imho

and when ever you turn off your device

while in another panel it start up

in touch flow

New users please read the Wiki.

Fortunately since HSPL is not out yet, no one would be able to flash anything to their Rhodium (par a stock Rom) anyway.

We are having a lot of new users joining the Rhodium forum.

Please all read the Wiki and do some research before posting.

The forum is allready becoming very busy, and a lot of the new threads that are being opened are by "new" users to the site who could get the answers / knowledge they require if they read the threads and mod notes at the top of the forum.

Not trying to flame anyone, but if we can keep the silly questions to a minimum, it will help us all.

[Dash 3G, Snap General] JC6:
I'm very happy with my Snap. It is by a considerable margin the fastest WM device I have ever used and is not showing any sign of slowing down as I load it up with software. There are various different varieties around (Maple, Cedar etc) - personally I would say make sure you get one with a trackball. Whilst this takes a little getting used to, after a few days you will wonder how you ever managed with a D-pad. The keyboard is excellent and the device is very compact and pocketable - the flat full qwerty layout means it is very comfortable in a jacket or shirt pocket.

If you find the idea of an iPhone and/or large touch screen appealing then clearly the device is not for you. Personally I find the whole touch screen thing a pain - my Kaiser used to drive me nuts sometimes (despite being very extensively tweaked). The screen is obviously not that big and still QVGA, but if you are looking for a functional device on the WM platform that gets the job done this is the best device yet, IMHO.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] SoCalSpecialist:
thank u so much for ur review!

[G1 Android Development] acidnine:
Yes, I heard they were making this actually happen...

As for building Apps in C/C++ Native..

Pros:

-More Stable

-More Unique (no Android UI features unless integrated)

-More Sophisticated

-Will open to a more known (learned) framework, by this I mean if you know C/C++ and already have apps built for other mobile devices it should be much easier to port it over to Android (look out for the flood Android Market)

-Other open sourced / commercial apps will be more easily ported...some ideas?...START A THREAD!!!...but just for the record...Apache...FireFox...just about anything that has an open source that relies on C programming...crap you can even extend this by adding Ruby, Perl...etc.

-Remember, this is a Development Kit...it just adds tools to the 1.5 SDK that allow you to create C based applications and build them in the android environment. All your apps should still work going back to RC-30 or even further back...depends on the kernel support I would guess.

Cons:

Much Larger Apps (file size)

Need to learn how the Linux Kernel works (for developers)

Other:

Load times? Ok, so for example if you have one app...say...TuneWiki...just an example of a popular resource hog...if it were to be redeveloped under C++ and optimized for the Android Modified Linux Kernel...your resources could easily be cut in half since you are not relying on the Dalvik VM.

SO...outcome?

Better for all, as long as you know what you are doing.

We should also see a huge upswing in crapware on the market from student programmers doing C++ projects on an easy open-sourced mobile platform (that has a public SDK).

So you'll see a lot of "Hello World" type apps that will have next to no function...have fun with those...................

From the Official NDK User Forum: Link
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
acidnine

Very nice post. Thanks for the insight.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
The opposite actually. Poorly written interpreted code breaks elegantly in a vm. Poorly written compiled code can take a whole system down.

You can't integrate any Android frameworks (UIs, etc) period.

I've seen some very sophisticated Java and some **** C/C++. Don't assume that higher level programming languages are necessarily less sophisticated than lower level ones.

The NDK will enable some applications that couldn't previously have been done in the Dalvik vm for performance issues, but it isn't going to be a "flood". Fact of the matter is a lot of developers who have needed native performance or didn't want to rewrite a C/C++ codebase have deployed native code already.

FF is written in C++... [edit: I should also point out that the NDK provides for native code support in the form of libraries (mainly as a helper for computation-intensive functions). Nothing in the way of window managers or other UI is addressed, meaning for the majority of "visible" C/C++ apps the developer would have to rewrite a significant portion in Java still.]

I don't know what to say other than these two statements are generally incorrect. There are two main cons to using NDK as opposed to the standard SDK, and they are 1) Reduced (or no) compatibility on future Android devices 2) Significantly reduced ease of debugging.
[G1 Android Development] alapapa:
very interesting...subscribed
[G1 Android Development] .milFox:
Not true. This isn't full native code apps, this is the ability to call native libraries in a davlik app.

From the actual NDK page ...
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Correct. As I pointed out above, the NDK actually is just a framework for building native libraries that standard dalvik apps then call. However, my point was that the libraries themselves (the products of the NDK) cannot access or invoke the Android framework. There is a pointed distinction.

That is probably what the NDK is perfect for. It's CPU intensive stuff, already written in platform independent C/C++ that can then be called from within a nice Androidy UI.
