[G1 Android Development] NguyenHuu:
last question, does the update.zip posted automatically do all the swap and enabling of compcache? after the flash, it's pretty laggy, especially when coming back to the home screen from an app or browser or anything.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
you can check if compcache is on by typing:

#cat /proc/ramzswap
[G1 Android Development] NguyenHuu:
type that in terminal correct?

$su

#cat /proc/ramzswap

i did and it says "/proc/ramzswap: no such file or directory"
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
You haven't pushed userinit.sh yet.

Attached is userinit.sh.txt you need to rename it to userinit.sh

Then push the file to /system/sd/

Restart your phone, and check again.
[G1 Android Development] NguyenHuu:
ok, i had a feeling something was up, im glad i asked! thanks ! imma try it now. it's late and im glad u up and replying =p
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
actually, that script won't work, sorry, lemme upload a new one that will work.

EDIT: I changed the script to work with this build and uploaded it in this post. Same instructions as above. Sorry about the mess...
[G1 Android Development] NguyenHuu:
edit: it pushed the file over to /system/sd/ and rebooted, but still i get the "/proc/ramzswap: no such file or directory"

is that userinit.sh file suppose to create a proc/ramzswap directory? i looked inside that directory and indeed there's no folder called ramzswap.

edit2: i dont think it did any of the steps on the first post. i thought updating with the compiled update.zip was gonna automate everything? maybe i was wrong? cuz i looked in the specific folders and i dont see some of those files or directories.

edit 3: finally for it working. i had to also push over the two compcache files, doh! i thought it was automatically pushed over. i'm at 76% GoodCompress. is that good? haha.
[G1 Android Development] billnye1999:
How did you get the files to push? I keep getting "failed to copy" "read-only file system" when I try it with adb and terminal.
[G1 Android Development] jasherai:
@billlnye1999

try remounting the /system folder before pushing...

adb remount
adb push userinit.sh /system/sd/
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
Ramzswap doesn't seem to want to utilize the memlimit_kb and backing swap commands. It's like its not even there. Everytime I run cat /proc/ramzswap it keeps telling me the Disk size is 24000kb. This is basically the default for disksize_kb 25% of RAM. 25% of 96MB is 24MB (24000kb). So no matter how much we use this script it isn't using memlimit and backing swap.
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
i'm sorry... but idk what i'm doing wrong, i searched. found my answers... didn't work, searched some more, found my answers and it didn't work... i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong

installed jachero 2.7.4

adb push android/userinit.sh /system/sd

adb push android/xvmalloc.ko /system/modules

adb push android/ramzswap.ko /system/modules

adb shell

#reboot

cat /proc/ramzswap

no such file or directory found???

(android/filename is my android folder to make pushing files easier for me "C:/android")
[G1 Android Development] NguyenHuu:
you are suppose to use 2.7.3, the link is provided in the first post. used the one provided dont go to the other thread.
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
lmao.. ill give it a go right now, thanks.
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
i've been seeing people with 2.7.4 and having compcache working, unless it was a typo on their part... any idea?
[G1 Android Development] NguyenHuu:
yeah but this thread is for support of 2.7.3, so i duno if it's any different. you may get some mor ehelp if you post in the other thread where you got 2.7.4.
[G1 Android Development] madunix:
k, appreciate the info.
[G1 Android Development] jasherai:
version 0.5 of compcache doesn't report the details of backing_swap, and at this point there is bug in the newer 0.6 version on the msm kernel (for the dream device) so this has not been released (cyanogen is keeping on top of it tho).

Any statistic comparisons you may have seen showing backing swap info are from version 0.6 running on a pc not a dream.

hth :)

jasherai
[G1 Android Development] jaygajay:
So ur saying tho it doesn't report it, it is there and is working. How do we actually know that it is actually working tho. The only thing I see is that the disk size of cat /proc/ramzswap and cat /proc/swaps is 24000kb which is 25% of 96mb which makes me assume that it is using disksize_kb by default. 25% of RAM is the default value when disksize_kb is missing right?

Man this is confusing. I will have to check out memlimit_kb and backing_swap again.
[G1 Android Development] Zarboz:
yah 2.7.4 jachero is jac's version of compache running i need to fix the init.rc and report the kernel to the boot.img but my roommate left town with the laptop so i have no computer to do anytrhing on...... will try to get to a laptop and make those changes tonight because they are buggin the heck out of mee also eed ot change ramdisk settings

Wif tether works just fine for me its what I am using now .

PDAnet? There's got to be a setting for that..or a way to keep the screen on.
[G1 General] kevwo:
i read that if you turn off the wifi on your laptop, the connection works better on pdanet.

i tried that, and ever since, i havent had any problems with it. the only problem is that now pdanet is now payware....

Why the heck do you keep sending me Pm's when you have PMs locked out so I can't even fricking reply. I go to all the work to answer your question and then hit send only to get an error back saying Kevwo has Pm's Blocked.

" Admins" sorry for the rant, and OP, sorry for the thread hijack, its really hot and humid hear and this just took me from the edge of loosing my mind to jumping off the cliff and completely loosing it.

Well Kevwo, enough of your rant.

Here is the shortened version of what I typed up to reply to you.

I am not aware of any Apps to SD apps that work, I have installed several and nothing worked right. I guess we will have to wait till a real ROM can be flashed on the Dream, then we will have access to all the cool apps. Hell I can't even get WiFi tether to work and I needed it to work badly.

i guess i should read the pop-ups

has anyone tried using an older version of wifi tether? instead of 1.51 i tried 0.97 and that seems tow ork

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyedema:
I was driving with Tomtom on my diamond 2 when suddenly the screen blanked out. Exactly after 30 minutes the screen went black. I pressed the power on button again, and tomtom was in the taskmanager list, so I could enable it rather quickly again.

I checked in Settings - system - energy - advanced and the settings were default. I did some testing, and without external power after 30 seconds the screen blanked out again. So, on external power after 30 minutes, and after 30 seconds without power the topaz shuts down the backlight.

This wasn't the case; I use tomtom a lot. Did a hard-reset after all, but no succes. The backlight/screen goes off on the same time, regardless of the settings. regardless of the used program. (my diamond 1 first dimmed the backlight, and after a short period the screen went completely black. The 2 doesn't do this..)

Anyone some ideas??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akash_84:
What ROM are you using?

If you have used a cooked rom, it might be something in there causing it...the 6.5 rom I have from Tom seems to do a similar thing but within 10 seconds the dim kicks in even though the power settings say otherwise

Do let us know!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyedema:
I have the original HTC (Dutch) Rom.

After some testing, it seems that only Tomtom gives this problem, although no matter what settings I use, the backlight dims at 30 secs/ 30 minutes (without/with external power).

When I use Coreplayer, the screen stays on.

Have a weird problem and i think it can fixed by some registry.

Does anyone has similar experience ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] JLPDA:
Bluetooth disconnect

I've had this problem with my Sprint Touch Pro since I've had it...running stock ROM or Merdin's ROM. Very frustrating...using Motorola HF820 in the car and AT&T EP5632 (BT/Landline phone)...same thing.

I think there's a registry entry for bluetooth polling or something that can be set, but I've yet to find it. There was a post indicating that Diamond TF3D Config had a Bluetooth "tweak" that might solve the problem...but I get an error message when I run it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] flippy_tv:
JLPDA, Can you send me the tread that talk about this tweak, i wanna take a look see has anything we can do about.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] HvRooyen:
Same problem: Touch Pro with Parrot MK6000 handsfree. I notice though that the phone reconnects after a minute or so. Previous Tytn did not have this problem.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] HvRooyen:
OTOH, my Jasjam (HTC Tytn) worked fine with my MK6000, while my current Touch Pro has this problem.

I was unable to find anything on the Parrot forums...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] superfuffo:
I wrote a message to the technical support page on Parrot's web site... let's see what happens...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] superfuffo:

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Techitrucker:
Seems like nothing is supported on this POS. Out of six phones I have had the only ones that seemed to work with the MK6000 without problem was the Blackberry Storm which is the only good thing I have to say about that phone. It seems moronic that people should have to go through different phones to make their "Accessory" work. Parrot needs to get a clue. I know I'll be voting with my dollars elsware. :mad::confused::mad:

I can confirm, it will work as a stereo adaptor with the Touch Pro 2 but hangs up phone calls in the first second or two on the handsfree.

For Sale: One Parrot MK6000 stereo A2DP car kit, slightly used. :D

Maybe it's because the LEO uses Broadcomm's bluetooth stack instead of the Microsoft's one... who knows... :confused:

[Touch HD Accessories] nickallison:
I use an, admitedly ancient, Icon BT Headset for calls while driving, and all works well with one annoying problem.

With all other phones that I have used this with, the Headset synchronises completely with the phone. By this I mean that once connected, the phone's speaker is disabled and all keypad sounds, tones and other noises come through the Headset. To answer a call I could press "answer" on the phone OR press the button on the Headset, and the same to hang-up. Lovely Jubbly.

However, with the Blackstone, I have to Slide to Answer the Phone and then press the button on the Headset to activate that. Pressing the Button on the Headset alone does not answer the phone but instead tries to activate the Voice Dialling function, whether or not there is an incoming call.

The only noises that come through the headset, except while "in a call" are the ring tones.

Now, I ask, is this a problem with the Headset or, is that just the way things are with the Blackstone and BT Headsets?

If it's just that mine is old and knackered then I will get a new one, but i do not want to shell out for something that is not going to fix the problem.
[Touch HD Accessories] nickallison:
OK. How about I rephrase the question.

Most of you out there use BT Headsets of some description. Which ones work like a common or garden phone?

Any? None?

Just want some advice before shelling out on trying to fix a problem that may or not be fixable.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] frogfoot:
Hi, I have just recieved my TP2 and was reading the manual when I noticed that it stated "Only the AC adapter and cable provided with your device must be used to charge the battery". However I have two USB car chargers and two further AC usb ac chargers from previous phones (a MPX200 and a HTC 730) and several mini USB cables (standard not HTC custom ones). Is it safe to use any usb charger or cable, and the manual is just being pedantic or is there a good reason to only use the supplied charger/cable.

Thanks

Tom
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] radiowc:
I sometimes don't use the usb cable that comes with it. I use my others usb cable to charge it too. well as long as you checked the voltage before you charge. Like the car usb charger, I guess pretty much standard, as long as it is a 12volt :> Even at home I use different usb cable too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
In general it should be fine. Those warnings are always present, just like the comment to always use the maker's batteries. This is simply because

1. They want to make more money and they will if you buy original products from the phone manufacturer.

2. In the case of warranties, if you used a cheap charger with a defect, they are not responsible for the consequences should something go wrong. If you only use their cables and chargers, they can't really say it was your fault for using a knockoff/generic charger.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
A friend of mine even uses his Blackberry charger to charge his Touch HD :p

When in doubt, check the

output

of the charger you are using: a standard HTC charger churns out 5V, 1A

USB cables are pretty standard so there isn't a big difference - probably except in build quality of the eletrical contacts and the width of the jack - I have one cable that cannot be inserted into my TP2 without a bit more force.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mt2020:
My TP2 Verizon (CDMA) is on the way. I use an "IGO" car charger and have tips for several phones and IPOD Classic. Interesting that most of my mini usb phones use the "a32" tip and the TP2 is listed as using an "A53" tip. May have a circuit for when fully charged. Both are mini USB.

I say an advertisement for an AC wall charger that says charges A"" usb devices. You plug the USB cord into it. Now why would that be safe for an IPOD, TP2, Motorola..... but not DC current????

Maybe they just lie!:eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Farsquidge:
The voltage is not an issue, al usb chargers deliver close to 5V but some deliver low current and the HTC phones prefer >500mA but even so less than this will just mean a longer charge time.

HTC recommend you use their cables/chargers as a safety measure because they use a non-standard connector with one flat side for their headset.

Two things can happen using a standard mini usb in this socket if you are not carefull.

a, A standard connector puts extra stress on the socket due to movement and can cause damage. (see prev device threads on Poss mini usb failure)

b, Some device specific usb chargers can have plug cross-connections to denote charger or data cable recognition and can subject data lines to constant 5V (not usualy a problem)

Basically they are issuing a disclaimer for the non-standard mini usb and trying to sell extra acc's at the same time.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmenot:
Hi there. I am a first-time poster here, but have been reading the site for about a month.

I am looking for the simplest, least likely to brick my phone, route to recovering Root. I am running the latest stable CyanogenMod.

I've looked at the FAQs and posts and am still confused about what to do. Specifically,

1) is there a shortcut/quick way to recover root without going back to RC29, and

2) if I do need to go back to RC29, are there any unusual steps I have to take given that I have the latest radio installed?

Background:

A few weeks ago, I successfully flashed a new ROM to my T-Mobile G1 (US). I downgraded to RC29, upgraded to JF's cupcake release (RC33 modded), upgraded my radio, and eventually switched to the CyanogenMod ROM. I am probably leaving out steps here, but I was attempting to follow the installation instructions to the letter at each stage.

Everything went fine, except that sometime after installing JF, I lost root.

Specifically, if I run the terminal app and type 'su' and press enter, nothing happens. I don't get another prompt. I eventually see 'Sorry! Activity SU Request (in application Superuser Permissions) is not responding.'

If I try to run Superuser Permissions directly, I see the heading 'Superuser Permissions' displayed on an otherwise black screen.

I am still able to flash new firmware via the recovery screen (home+power)

I am unable in the Rainbow bootloader (camera+power) to get to a command prompt via Alt-X. Typing Alt-X in Rainbow has no apparent effect.

When I boot into the Rainbow bootloader, I see the rainbow screen with the following text:

DREA100 PVT 32B

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Sep 2 2008

and then, on a white band, 'Serial0'

My configuration from Settings -> Phone status:

Firmware version 1.5

Baseband version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I

Kernel version: 2.6.29-cm shade@toxygene )
