Good i thought it was my BOBO so called HI SPEED internet.lol at this rate it'll finish dl'ing for another oh can we say 2 hours. lmao
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
I'm getting 20kb/s lol probably because everyone's rushing to download and flash it
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
yeah me too lol, i have 31 mins remaining
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
haha downloading at 357 kb...1 min remaining
[G1 Android Development] itsruddy:
You probably wanna change the link on the original post, just checked it and it was ~41MB.

People are gonna get confused later on when they try to click on that rather than the one you just posted.
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Wi-Fi works with no modifications in 2.7.4r2. :D

About to test the rest of the system.
[G1 Android Development] wc326:
flashed it already, not bad atm
[G1 Android Development] Enmi:
This ROM (2.7.4r2) seems to be working pretty well, and to note that yes, WiFi works without a hitch, so no need to fix. ^_^

... I have to note, you guys might want to pre-enable screen animations (if this is even possible), cause as ridiculous as it sounds, it's SMOOTHER, and actually fast as what, the moment they're enabled. XD;; It's crazy, seriously!

I have no force closes, on anything, including messaging, weather, or clock for that matter.

I'm just waiting for multi-touch to be put back in. T_T;;
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
can you upload it to a different website
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
My compression in 2.7.4r2 is at 81%. Impressive.
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
so all your partitioned your sd is to fat32 and ext3 right?
[G1 Android Development] itsruddy:
Does CompCache run on the SD or locally? If so, wouldn't this remove the need of a SDHC?

Although you still have the Ext2 for APP2SD, this runs fine on stock though.
[G1 Android Development] itsruddy:
Damn timing out always causes a double post, sorry guys.
[G1 Android Development] wc326:
apps2sd don't seems to be working in 2.7.4 r2

can anyone confirm
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
Working fine for me.
[G1 Android Development] wc326:
i only have 2 partition

fat32 for files pic, video etc.

Ext3 for apps2sd and comcache??
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
how much internal memory at boot? and so does apps2sd not come already on the update?
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
honestly, im not to familiar on how to upload...maybe someone else can do it
[G1 Android Development] ratel:
uhmmmm any1 got a md5 for me from the latest build?
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
Post it on Rapidshare or Megaupload
[G1 Android Development] hell4hot:
how do you find out your compression and wat is it???
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
If you have compcache configured, go into Terminal and type:

su

cat /proc/ramzswap

You should see a compression percentage towards the bottom.
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
i cant....someone else can do it..just askin all these beta testers on here who already have the download
[G1 Android Development] hypnostick:
The last update with compcache need a linux-swap partition ??
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
According to the devs, no. I haven't installed yet, so I don't even know if it's still being utilized if you decide to not remove the partition though.
[G1 Android Development] Enmi:
Yep, that's it. ^_^

I removed my linux-swap using GParted in Linux, and just expanded my ext3. Heck, I haven't formatted since I started using 2.63. XD

I'm gonna upload to Media Fire, so folks can download a bit better... hopefully. XD
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
so how big should my ext3 be since theres only gonna be 2 partitions?
[G1 Android Development] :
any size you want
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
512mb is always a good number, but reality is, however big ya want to make it. It's for app storage anyway, so however many apps you think you'll ever want to install
[G1 Android Development] wc326:
to me 2.7.3 Lite is much faster than 2.7.4 r2 full:(
[G1 Android Development] smnnekho:
you guys with slow download speeds:

you know there is a second and automatically synchronised mirror in the first post?

just before anyone takes the efford to upload it whereever, it gave me full speed...
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
so do i need to do anything for apps2sd or is it automatic?
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
2.7.4r2 appears to be a little slower than 2.6.3. I have had load screens with 2.7.4r2 but none with 2.6.3.

I guess for ****s & giggles I'm going to add the linux-swap partition to see what happens.
[G1 Android Development] instechgainza:
wow downloading time 7hr 33min..
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
You're talking the difference between using Launcher and TouchFLO. TouchFLO takes up a lot more RAM. If you want, go into Manage Applications, find TouchFLO, change defaults, and then press Home. When it asks you for the new default, select home and set as default. Should be much faster, though you won't be able to use the Hero widgets.
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
Everything is automatic.
[G1 Android Development] Enmi:
Eh, I tried both, now and it's giving me odd download rates. Anyways, I've already uploaded it already, so might as well share. XD

http://www.mediafire.com/?zechnicx9jw

But please try and use the "official" dev links on the first page, as they're "authentic" :D

As far as it being laggy and whatnot, yeah... it WAS laggy and clunky, till I switched on window animations, from then on, I haven't even seen Rosie (home launcher) load once, and this is after removing my swap partition, loading up the browser a few times, watching some vids, testing Wifi, and the PDF viewer (which I admit, it's a bit heavy... probably due to the fact that I'm reading hugs ebooks) ... I miss multitouch. ;_; I can't get the PDFs to zoom to a comfortable viewing point. XD Hah, but I'm picky. I like this one, I'm keeping it for now. Till the next version, anyways. :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
So, any early adopters want to comment on how fast this is compared to 2.7.3 and lower? Are you using both linux-swap and compcache? Also, how are people backing up all their email / SMS / MMS when they upgrade?
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
thanks downloading now and its very fast of course
[G1 Android Development] instechgainza:
trying now...not bad....tnx
[G1 Android Development] Enmi:
Well, I use Backup for Root users, only cause I hate loosing my messages. >.<;; I'm only using compache, and so far, it's pretty smooth, running like the stock ROM does, actually. As far as how fast it is compared to 2.7.3... well, it's not "faster", but responds better, apps load and unload much smoother, and less lag. It's still a bit icky here and there, but that's obviously when loading heavy applications, same as any device/computer would respond.

I haven't played with the regular Launcher.apk on this version yet, so I can't tell you if there are any issues / fc hitches, etc, when using it (as I've read people have when using the non-rosie launcher)

At least it takes far less time for Rosie to load when it does load. XD haha, yeah, it still sucks when it does. -_-
[G1 Android Development] :
thanks for the link gettin 300+ kbps
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
has neone even tried fixing the orientation problem with the hero camera ?..
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
does anyone know how to get "my location" on the gps working. I would like to my have my city's weather on the flip clock but cant due to the fact gps is not properly working.
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
Turn off wifi, turn on GPS, stand outside, and then try My Location. Either that, or just hand program in your city, select it, and then try to change back to my location. One of those usually does the trick
[G1 Android Development] Enmi:
Do what chesh420 said... or turn off WiFi, and GPS, and go into wireless settings, and turn on use "EDGE ONLY", My Location will triangulate your position (roughly) as it won't work properly using 3G. This also works for pretty much anything that asks for your location, too.

Edit:

Oh, and if you want to hand program your location into that, go into the weather app, and add your city manually from there. You can remove the other cities you don't want/need from there, too. ^_^
[G1 Android Development] Enmi:
It's already been talked about... but right now, the only "fix" is to flip open your keyboard. Seriously, that's pretty much it, for now. >.>
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
Enmi: thanks for being a responsible member and searching before asking a ton of questions. I see you only have 10 posts, but you've obviously done your research to be answering other people's questions (especially the ones you see continously every 5 pages in this thread). I wish more new (and even some old) members were like you.
[G1 Android Development] :
omg just installed 2.74 and apart from the slow start and removing rosie the speed is ORGASMIC :D:cool::D:cool:
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
thanks both of you...it works :cool:
[G1 Android Development] Enmi:
Hehe. ^_^; Thanks, but it's not just a responsibility... you're right that there's not too many people that'll right out answer simple questions like that (even if it takes 2 seconds. >.>), so I just did the research myself... and took the time to read as much as possible.

In other words: I did the research, cause I kept seeing that not many folks would be as helpful if I asked the simple questions like that. -_-;

Anyways, I hope to be helpful to those working on the ROMs as well, testing and poking to see what works and what doesn't, if that's as much as I can help with to see this thing go where it's headed. ^_^ Wouldn't be using this ROM if it weren't for that!

[G1 Android Development] clintz:
I'm thinking about trying this again, just yesterday I gave up on it because I was getting too many force closes.

I was going to format my card (4gb class 4) with a 500mb ext3 partition, and the rest fat32 (no linux-swap), wipe, and flash to stock 2.7.4r2. Then make sure my window animations are turned on, it seems that several have reported a faster, more usable experience this way.

For those running a similar setup as I have described, have you been getting force closes? (gapps, acore, launcher, etc) Or has it been smooth sailing?
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
how can i check my good compression
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
I believe it was this command:

# cat /proc/ramzswap

(sorry if incorrect, im going from memory)
[G1 Android Development] notxel21:
Above post is right! I just posted this a few pages back:
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
I noticed it worked without the su, but you can su if you wanna ;)
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
yup absolutely correct. Report back :) good luck! I just flashed 2.7.4r2
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
thnaks im at 78%...any idea on how to get more than that
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
help

Well for the past week I've been having a random reboot and the bootloop issue when I would press home sometimes the screen goes black and then goes to the hero screen and then to the HTC screen the home back power and end keys are still lit and the boot sounds play but it just boot loops I've tried multiple times succesufly reflashing with and without a wipe but the problem still persists
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
did you try reformating ext?
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
There is something wrong with your partitions. Try reformatting.
[G1 Android Development] Enmi:
Ergh... I'm getting a force close when I try opening up the market. >.< I'm gonna push the apk again, and see what happens. It's the only annoyance I've had yet! ...

Except for the simple fact that I can't change to the Launcher.apk home app. >.< When I try going to settings > applications > home > clear defaults.... it's greyed out. And showing 0.0kb on all stats for that, and I can't even FIND Launcher.apk, either. >.>;; *fiddles around some more*
[G1 Android Development] r_dub:
Okay thanks I'll try this when I get home I though this way have been the problem but I've been on vacation so I wasn't able to reformat it
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
Ya need to find TouchFLO and clear the defaults for it. When it's cleared it will ask you which one you want as your launcher after that. Select Home and then set it as default.
[G1 Android Development] ulyssesclark:
can someone explain how to get more good compression.im currently at 77%
[G1 Android Development] Enmi:
... Doi. >.< Of course, I totally forgot about TouchFLO. :D I feel like a genius, a really special kind of genius...
[G1 Android Development] s0ysauce45:
Reformatted my card to just fat32 and ext3 partitions, repaired the ext, wiped the data, and flashed the rom. been running for about an hour now, its smooth as butta :)

good compression at 77%

ps. is there any thing i would need to push or change? ie. changing swappiness or something. its running pretty well compared to 2.7.4r1
[G1 Android Development] :
i mean it wont have any info on your location
[G1 Android Development] Enmi:
Okay, fixed the home issue, but I'm still having massive issues with my market app crashing like it's been doing. I think I'm just gonna reflash this, cause I've already tried pushing the vending.apk from 2.7, 2.63, and hell for kicks and giggles, I even tried one from a nandroid backup that worked. XP

... Blah? Everything else was smooth as silk. >.<
[G1 Android Development] :
i usually have your EXACT problem to fix i have re flash the rom or wipe ext partitions
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
Flashing it now, against my better judgement, lol.

Force close and locked up on initial boot up already, rebooting to see if it helps, but not a good sign
[G1 Android Development] KNEX81:

EDIT WHOOT! It loads zee market! XP
[G1 Android Development] Z҉A҉L҉G҉O̚̕̚:
My liege. You've return. :D
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
do you think the fact that I am sending the ROM to the sd card by going into console, typing ums_enable, hooking up usb, copying, then ums_disable, unhook usb, flash... could have an effect on the files? (maybe corrupting?)

my card reader says theres no partition when i put it in there after putting the ext3 partition on it, so i cant use that method of copying..
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
after you copy to sdcard and unhook usb, try doing "reboot recovery". See if that helps, just throwing ideas out there.
[G1 Android Development] j_r0dd:
Is it just me or is this just about unusable? I reformated and only have 2 partitions & 75% good compression I am using an 8GB class 6 SDHC. I have wiped and reflashed with no luck.
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
K so now with 2.7.4r2 how do we change the swap size if we want to customize ? wht file do i gotta look at ?
[G1 Android Development] kingskidd268:
2.7.4r2 good Compress 78% with out linux swap or overclock works great no lag real clean...
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yea this rom looks like has a life span....when rebooted its a amazing but give it about 2 hrs...n check ur swap mine has like 44kb free....
[G1 Android Development] kingskidd268:
ok i will let you know
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
N for those who find the swap file too small and want to change...u gotta chng the file /system/bin/a2sd...
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
a big problem you might be having with only having 44k left is that now you have a larger space "swap file" your system has more programs running rather than killing them off. i just use takiller and kill the programs off every hour or so or even after i'm done using them, which helps re allocate some of that swap file. try that out
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Yea thts another question...is there a way to clean the swap file...
[G1 Android Development] clintz:
I have it running now, about 5 minutes after re-formatting / partitioning, wiping, flashing, etc... but not on touchflo, I'm too scared to run it, lol
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
it is basically ram. so it is constantly being written over aside from killing the processes off, i'm not really sure you can just clean the swap file. no real reason to. just try killing processes first.
[G1 Android Development] s0ysauce45:
i notice that too.. after an hour or so it gets real slow unless you reboot
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Changed my swap size to 42mb and swapiness to 40....it was at 60 maybe thts why it was so fast in beginning and then slowed down as time progressed.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
well is does take away from clock cycles when it is compressing so that may have something to do with it. i'm not sure i'm more of a windows based computer guy than a linux based phone guru lol.
[G1 Android Development] rajr89:
Wallpapers

Not really a big deal but I cant change wallpaper to any of the pictures on my SD. Once i choose a pic it reloads the touchflo interface and its still the same old backround.
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
try going to settings>personalize>wallpaper and choose the wallpaper you want. After it's done don't clock the home button click the back button until you get back to the home screen. Hope this helps ...
[G1 Android Development] :
everyone who is experiencing slowdowns are you using linux-swap partition because i am and have not experienced any slowdowns and i have been running it for about 3 hours.

btw clock speed 528/245 mhz

64 mb swap
[G1 Android Development] :
also try going into albums and do it from there
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Guys, I am coming in on this a bit late, but you do still need the the swap partition to run compcache, right?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Nope

charlimit.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
no u don't need the linux-swap partition. it just uses physical memory and compresses the data so that it uses less memory
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
You should try looking back some pages, but I'm going to answer anyway ...

You don't need to swap partition if you are using compcache.
[G1 Android Development] crr127:
anyone using the TA utility which moves ur cache to your sd? i'm using it and for some reason i still gotta go in manually and delete my browser and market cache. i don't even think the program is working. if not anyone got a good app or script that will move the cache or delete it automatically
[G1 Android Development] MortICi:
Swap rules still apply to compcache.

So 32/30 is fine, im running 24/20, but i might do 24/10 just to see if its better.

Guys i found an interesting app...though i wud share...helps free ram apparently....http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?m1zjiltyhhj
[G1 Android Development] chesh420:
I upgraded from 2.7.3 to 2.7.4r2 and I think it's way slower. Compcache was running fine, had a 77% compression rate. Tried TouchFLO for a bit, but it was really unresponsive compared to 2.6.3. Switched to regular launcher, and it still had hiccups. Just restored my nandroid backup to 2.7.3 till some bugs get worked out.
[G1 Android Development] Dror520:
thanks, but how do I change the swap size and swappiness using compcache?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
seems cool you try running it?

[EDIT]: Installing now, will report back...

EDIT2: Seems to boost? Fluke maybe?
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
How is 2.7.4r2? Does it have a lot of force closes, since Compcache is running?
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
yea im runnin it...tapped quick boost a couple of times...i'll c in an hour if rom isnt slow as a bug then i guess its working
[G1 Android Development] tshizzle:
should i delete my swap partition then, since theres compcache? do they like conflict with each other?
