[G1 Android Development] mholger:
I'm nominally inclined to disagree with this. Swapfiles shouldn't pose any risk in terms of fs or disk corruption on a non-removable filesystem -- it's been around in linux long enough that someone would have had to critically break Android to cause this to be a problem. On the other hand, corruption issues are rampant on the SD cards primarily as a result of dirty dismounts -- which can lead to other system problems as well. Combined with the theoretical** increase in read/write cycles on the flash, if performance were equal it would seem sensible to place as much swap internally as possible. As it turns out, things aren't exactly equal, however..

**I'm quite frequently wrong, as we'll see below, and this is a particularly salient point to disprove me on if you're so inclined. :)

I find this hard to believe, so I run tests.

The results are downright astonishing. At least to me. Guess I'm used to system memory being faster even than a good SSD if for no better reason than architectural limitations...

You get the idea. Writing to SD is 2x to 4x faster at the system level, and can exceed 5x performance against the wall clock! f* me!
[G1 Android Development] sxfx:
any idea on writing this into a script so it executes every time your phone reboots?
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
Nice... I knew it was faster, but I didn't know how fast. Now we have some actual numbers. I wonder what the read performance is like.

here's the results writing to RAM /dev (I believe tmpfs is RAM).

How did you get this line printed out?

Another good idea I saw in another thread is to use swapper and set the location to system/sd/swapfilename

This way you wont have to go through the hassle of creating a swap partition, and swapper runs on boot :)..
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
very nice sir
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
jacHEROski does this automatically using a linux-swap partition - that way your sdcard never gets corrupted on mount. It's also more reliable.

jacHEROski_Experimental also does it.

check out my a2sd.sh in /system/bin/ for more info on how to do it.
[G1 Android Development] alapapa:
I tried the same exact thing (thinking of having a swap partition on the sd card and also having a swap file on internal memory to spread the IO). I am convinced that the extra overhead of going from yaffs2 -> ext and vice versa negates any performance increases added by offloading any amount of swap.

oh wells
[G1 Android Development] Mysticales:
Well looks like Ill be waiting in this post too for a auto swapon after reboot. Since Im JF build, Id like to have this too. Swapper worked ok, but now I made a real linux-swap partition Id like to use somehow.

I have a Samsung Omnia i900 on o2 uk.

I download weather data etc from internet when the phone is connected to my pc (win xp) using active sync as I haven't managed to get the wireless to work yet.

I have a yahoo and gmail account. I tried downloading my email to outlook (which is already installed on the phone) whilst connected to the internet via active sync but it doesn't recognise it and only wants to connect thru 3g etc.

As i don't have a data plan is there any way I download my email when phone is connected via active sync?

Many thanks

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bareil:
Hello out there,

I have following problem under Windows Mobile: in need to create a dialog with OK and Cancel button that contains a tab control with several tabs. The trouble is: when the focus is on an edit control that is child of one of the tabs, the mobile phones soft keys, that should control that dialog's OK and Cancel buttons, do not work any more.

I guess, the problem is, that the edit control is not direct child of the dialog, but child of the current tab, that itself is child of the dialog. So, the child -> parent relation is:

edit control -> current tab -> dialog

and the soft keys would only work properly if the edit control was direct child of dialog window, like this:

edit control -> dialog

I already tried to solve the problem by re-directing windows messages the tab's window procedure receives from edit control to dialog window, but this does not work, because the tab's window procedure only receives WM_GETTEXT messages from edit control, no WM_COMMAND messages.

I also tried to provide a customized window procedure for the edit control by SetWindowLong():

SetWindowLong(hEdit, GWL_WNDPROC, newEditWndProc);

to program edit control to send WM_COMMAND message when WM_KEYDOWN is received and key was soft key, but this results in incorrect depiction of edit control in GUI.

So what can I do?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bareil:
Concerning the customized edit control window procedure I found a solution: to prevent incorrect graphical depiction, one must not directly call the edit control's default window procedure in customized procedure, but instead use CallWindowProc() indicating address of default window procedure:

LRESULT CALLBACK customEditWndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
// wrong:
// return defaultEditWndProc(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam);

// correct:
return CallWindowProc(defaultEditWndProc, hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
}
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bareil:
There's another solution that is more nice: in Visual Studio's resource editor, in the dialog resource for each tab page, one can set a property "Style". Setting this to "child" (I guess this would be the English title, my VS displays the Style names in German), solves all the depicted problems, without any dirty hacking in edit control's window procedure :)

However, there's still something not very nice: the look of the tab page borders. They have 3D-edges, as is typical for Desktop PC Windows. However, any other application under Windows Mobile using tab pages (e.g. Start -> Settings) has a flat edge tab page style. How can I activate this? Is it maybe only available in .NET development?

To make clearer what I'm talking about: have a look on this screenshot:

http://www.brighthub.com/bh_control...owse and apply your theme&postId=23468&page=1

I would like to have a tab page header style like the "Tabs", "Appearance", "Tweaks" and so on tab headers on the screenshot have.

[G1 General] kntdookoo:

Hmmmmmm...any other suggestions.

(im now adp 1.51 FYI)
[G1 General] blueheeler:
Download it again.

Do NOT extract anything.

Just rename the downloaded file to update.zip.
[G1 General] kntdookoo:
So, I got it to work....I used winrar to make my update.zip instead of the windows zip and BAM worked 100%..
[G1 General] blueheeler:
Glad it worked for you, but extracting these .zip files is unnecessary.

All that is required is renaming them to update.zip.

If you extract then re-zip them, you risk screwing up your new zip if the directory structure isn't preserved. You're just adding an extra step to the whole process that doesn't accomplish anything.
[G1 General] kntdookoo:
Thanks for the reply..

I just updated the SPL and everything went well. Though, now after the flash its stuck on G1 Screen...uh oh :(
[G1 General] blueheeler:
I doubt it's related, but who knows?

Remove your sdcard, put it in your computer, copy a fresh SPL update.zip, try that.

If that doesn't work, remove your sdcard, put it in your computer, put your build's update file on the card (remember, don't rezip the file ... just rename the downloaded file to update.zip), WIPE and reflash.
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
You don't have to reflash the spl, you just have to reflash your rom. The spl overwrites the rom, thats why you got to reflash it.

Okay, so this is my first Thread; For anyone having trouble with applications such as games in WM 6.5. Basically, you start the game, and either your phone freezes up, or you only hear music, and you are forced to press the HOME button or other buttons to exit this "freez" mode... And no matter what you do, you Cannot play anything other than solitare, that cool gravity ball game, and other standard Windows Mobile 6 apps...

The solution???

Install the attached cab, and Voala! Every game you could play in WM5 and WM6.1 will work!!!

Why do you need this cab file to be able to play your games you ask???

Well, For some reason, Microsoft decided to force developers to abandon GAPI, and with the currently available WM6.5 versions, GAPI is disabled... Perhaps if the official release, they will reenable it again... but for now, this cab is your ownly option!

This is my first post, so please take it easy on me :o

Hey there, I tried opera on my phone and it works perfectly. I did not have any visible or noticible slow downs installing this cab, so I'm not sure why you are having these problems.
