[G1 Android Development] Janis:
I tried the AudioManager widget bug.

1. DXTop seems fine on 4.1.7. I think I got 1 FC/W. Open Home and the Advanced Launcher don't work at all

2. Audio Manager widget up creates acore fc, but only on the default launcher, not on DXTop.

Speed:

My impression of the 4.1.6+ series is that in the immediate sense, it's faster. It defines "snappy." I find that my 128mb swap partition, though, helps more with more memory intensive tasks, like loading my app list, big web pages, etc. I do se a bit of an immediate performance lag with the swap partition enabled, but it's worth the trade-off for the big stuff. I'm using Swapper simply because I can run it in any environment, as it were, in isolation (it doesn't interfere with any default settings like compcache).

Given my propensities for memory intensive behavior, my consumptive app list, and hopping between tasks, I'm getting about the same performance, overall, with 4.0.4 scheduling Advaced Task Manager close-alls, using the Advanced Launcher to parse out the loading of my app list (it doesn't load the whole thing everytime, only the contents of each folder), and with 128mb swap partition. I am an app-drawer hound, and parsing it out for my poor old brain is a huge part of that difference. The launcher speeds *me* up.

When I enable Swapper, I am way happy. To be amazingly nitpicky, I get some seemingly random lags, and still some less-than-perfectly-smooth scrolling.

As far as time to ring/show caller ID: I think my network is slow. The phone doesn't do anything until after the 1st ring. After that, I can almost get the same results with scheduled renicing with this. It's really, really hard to get consistent results with ringtime, though.

K, sorry about this logcat for acore shut down, I've got a four year old begging for Martha Speaks.

Edit: No random reboots here after 12 hours. Flashed right from 4.0.4, no wipes, but I always flash the radio right after I flash a ROM. The first time I tried it from the Updater I got stuck in bootloop, so I put the zip on my card and flashed from recovery.

My battery life seems to have crapped out on 4.1.7. I unplugged at 8 am, and by 11:30 I was down to almost 50%, mostly sleep mode. Yesterday on 4.0.4 I was confident I could run 11-12 hours without a recharge. Without Wifi I could run about 18 without getting nervous. It also took me an hour to charge to 75% today, and I expected to be fully charged (not that I was remembering that I was on a new ROM when I created that expectation or anything.)

My maps seem to be fine in traffic (Free!), Locale and MyMaps Editor except there's a 2cm square almost at the bottom left. Very livable, although annoying. I'd rather have the speed with which the map/app loads & updates.

Waking up seems more reliable now. On 4.0.4 I would have to hit the menu button sometimes a few times before I got results because the poor phone was trying to do too much already.

Apps I found that don't work at first: Advanced Task Manager, WiSyncPlus, Launcher Dock, ToggleWifi all worked on unistall and reinstall.

-AniTime digital clock text & "i" cricle are totally offset, like a row too high. The calendar is fine.

Photo Gallery doesn't have a name, just an icon when I get the choice popup for it or DocumentsToGo to select a pic.

It seems curious to me that whenever I flash, it somehow re-orders the ringtones so that I have to re-pick all my ringtones as if it's looking for an index number instead of by file name. No, I'm not moving anything. ???
