My setup.

Speaking of kernel trouble:

I didn't have any issues with the kernel that v3.0 "shipped" with. Obviously guys, c'mon...it's BFS-230; it's rock solid! There's no way you should be experiencing any problems! :D

But, then again...I'm using a custom made kernel; I call it, "BFS-261.5", it's working quite well. No complaints.

Again though Evil, I'm not sure where this CC error has surfaced from...but it's real, unfortunately! I don't know what else to do in order to have CC functional. Although, v3.0 runs quite smoothly on Linux Swap alone. I'm happy for now; it's merely a subconscious issue. :rolleyes:

I have NOT had any force closes. No reboots. Nothing out of the ordinary. Honestly, Evil...this ROM does NOT need an update right this second. It sounds like people might be doing something incorrectly. I mean, the only error I can reenact is the CC one from ADB.

If anyone has any questions; feel free to ask.

Oh, and Evil...about those Sprint applications...navigation is working. I had Sprint TV working for literally a split-second last night...before it cut the signal! 3G only, EDGE won't be able to display picture at all. Wi-Fi does not work, because Sprint suggests that it is NOT allowed. One of their many ways of insisting that a Sprint Hero owner has to PAY for unlimited data at the risk of a serious overage! Lol. :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Correction!

I have SprintTV working...100% functionality!

I've been watching onDEMAND channels, checked out some cool Disney shows. ;)

Also, the Live Radio feature is amazing! Dude, SprintTV is the shizzle. This is great...I now have all the Sprint applications functioning as they would normally on a Sprint Hero. YAY! :D

Curious as to how I have SprintTV running; I won't be on here to dish it out to everyone...so hopefully you folks have a Twitter account where I'm addressing all of my followers about this topic. Sorry fellas. :cool:

After an hour everything has slowed down again for me, installing swapper and using swapiness 100 has given it a boost for now (after changing it to use the partition of course!)

So going well again, thanks everyone :-)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kolyan:
i am using Advanced Task manager to end all but 2 apps. by slow i mean, when i tap something, sometimes it responds instantly and other times i dont even know if i tapped or not and i tap again which results in double tapping..........

also sliding home pages left and right sometimes produces a lag, call end button also lags alittle.

Dont get me wrong but if something lags even just alittle, its almost imposible to use cell phone. So far the fastest ROMs i have tried are Maxis v1.8 and Hero3G UNI v6.

ps. Task Manager does its job well and ROM becomes fast but only for 10-20 minutes. also I run setCPU as max and maybe its just me, but i noticed that after ROM slows down a bit and I run setCPU again, it becomes faster but also just for several minutes.......
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
People are having slowness and force closes is more because of insufficient memory available after long hours of usage. Most people are using 96mb swap size partition which I think it is not enough. Here's my memory stats for example:

The swap partition already used up nearly 96mb already with 1.7mb free memory. Currently I have only 3 apps from market plus other essential processes running in the background. My market apps are eBuddy, Missed Call, NewsRob. it's not that people is doing something incorrectly. it's more swap partition size requirement should be increased to at least 128mb for this rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Hobby-Student:
sorry for being impatient...

has anybody an idea, why HTC Sync is working with 2.9.5x and not with newer releases?

Any hints, where I could begin searching? (I'm new to Android, but not to Linux :P )
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elton.Tsai:
I guess I have to switch to Hero3G UNI first, but I'll keep my eyes on this ROM. This ROM work perfectly on my girlfriend's MT3G, and she loves it. I have no idea why it doesn't work on mine. I did every step exactly the same.

I'll be back to try this rom after my mid-term. Hope to have this problem solved then. Thank you guys.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kolyan:
try this rom with 192 swap......maybe my lag on MT3G was due to only 96 swap....otherwise the rom is solid
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Fine-tune your device:

Here's a list of things you could do to keep your phone running smoothly:

- Reboot once every 9-12 hours.

- Advanced Task Manager or TasKiller Pro to prevent applications from opening.

- Overclock Widget settings adjusted to change frequencies every 5-10 seconds.

- 328min - 528max.

- 192MB swap partition

- 60 CC swappiness and 80 LS swappiness.

- 32 or 40 MB of RAM for CC.

- blah, blah, blah.

I could go on for hours. My device does NOT lag, no stutters, no bull****.

If you do not know what it takes to maintain the ROM you're running; do not bother flashing it at the risk of your phone being rendered "frozen".

Just be careful guys, don't tweak things you don't necessarily need to, or completely understand. Seriously...:rolleyes:

Sweet man, Thnk for the FYI. TV works fine with 3G, wonder if we could hack this to work with wifi?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Yeah, I got SprintTV working earlier this morning. Pretty sweet. I like the onDEMAND channels. As for the Wi-Fi hack, I believe that "KFC" over at DroidAppz is working on "cracking" the application. I'm keeping my eye on the thread over there regarding this. :D

What's the BFS230.zip for??

Hello,

I just installed v 3 and love the way it looks. However, i am having some issues with response time and overall slowness. I am reaserching and doing what i can to learn more on my own.

My question now is: what is the BFS230.zip patch for? i can't seem to find what BFS REPO is either.

I have switched my swappiness to 100 in the user.conf file already, and have noticed a slight increase in performance. However, i notice that user Reignzone refers to CC swappiness and LS swappiness. What's the difference? and how are they configured?

My partition is as follows:

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags

1 512B 15.4GB 15.4GB primary fat32 lba

2 15.4GB 15.9GB 500MB primary ext2

3 15.9GB 16.1GB 166MB primary linux-swap(v1)

Again, thanks for all your help!

Force close when searching contacts

The just updated to 3.0 and when I search contacts this error always pops up. "The process android.process acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"

But everything runs fine when you just scroll down. Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a solution to this? Thanks!

Sorry...a bit new with Android...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elton.Tsai:
hey kolyan,

Thanks a lot. I've tried to partition a 192mb swap sd card. Even though the remain memory are still the same but it works much smoothly now! Is there a limit for swap? What if I increase swap to 384mb? Will it help? Thank you guys:D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
That force close is universal to the JAC/ski kernel. It cannot be fixed until a different kernel is used in this particular ROM...which is not going to happen any time soon unless you took it upon yourself to reconstruct this ROM with a different sourced kernel.

Don't be too worried about that minor issue. Trust me, everything else is fantastic! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
192mb is huge enough. type adb shell free, check how much memory it uses.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kolyan:
well thats what Reignzone recommends and i would try all that...

- Advanced Task Manager or TasKiller Pro to prevent applications from opening.

- Overclock Widget settings adjusted to change frequencies every 5-10 seconds.

- 328min - 528max.

- 192MB swap partition

- 60 CC swappiness and 80 LS swappiness.

- 32 or 40 MB of RAM for CC.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
well, 60 LS swappiness is enough for me
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sovereignty68:
here's my configuration that i've been using with all evil's rom.

cpu set to 25460 min, 528000 max

cc disk size = 40 mb

cc swappiness = 60

swap part size = 192 mb

ls swappiness = 60

never had issue with speed

my leds

okay I had a problem with the rom little but would like to know if i can get this problem fixed my leds dont work besides green boring lol...

K I got the blurry/fuzzy screen after sleep... So I had to flash the twisted umbrella port to mytouch deal, it took the fuzzy, issue right out of there. i looked into the heroled.apk tried to install it, I have adb and all but i tried to install it with appmanager cause well they said that I only need to use adb if there was an app like heroled alredy in the system>app_s folder there isn't one so I tried to install it no go force closes everytime... Like I said I have adb installed running the Evil Hero 3.0 loving BTW, but no led support besides green tiny bummer any help would be appreciated thanks people and thank you Evil D. awesome rom
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
I have NO issues whatsoever with LEDs. Every single color I've selected is working properly. Blue, Red, Green, White, Purple, etc. :cool:

Use Missed Call or Missed Reminder. Alter the colors, patterns, and frequencies of the timing intervals to your liking. Charging LED works, it "goes Green for me when it's above 90% battery power; so as you can see there is NO REASON for you to be experiencing this issue.

As for the "fuzzy screen" issue...that is a pretty solid indication that you've done something incorrectly. The improper radio, SPL, corrupted files during installation, bad download mirror, etc.

Those are possibilities. I've NEVER...in the history of my Hero ROM flashing days have EVER, NOT ONCE...witnessed that "blurry" or "fuzzy" screen that SO MANY people; such as yourself describe! :D

Hopefully you continue to enjoy this ROM. It's the ****!

Wow sprint tv? Noice. The links down though, what's up with that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Hobby-Student:
hey guys,

i'm a bit confused. Since I'm using eViL's ROM I have a fat23 (~6.5GB), ext3 (~750MB) and linux-swap (~192MB) partition.

But this is, how "adb shell free" is showing:

total used free

Mem: 97904 96272 1632

Swap: 24468 21440 3028

Total: 122372 117712 4660

swappiness: 80

Why is it only showing 24468 for my swap? (no compcache, just linux-swap)

ok... i read the whole thread... here is the solution: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=546261&page=103
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ishanISCOOOL:
Is the force close issue with contact search finally fixed?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
Not according to my experience. Too bad, it makes the ROM unusable.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] redrazr7791:
@reignzone

I just watched your youtube video about the 3.0 ROM. In your description you recommend a 8GB microSDHC card (Class 6). Is this absolutely necessary? I have a

4GB with a 2 inside of the C on the top right corner

16GB with a 4 inside of the C on the top right corner

Could either of these suffice?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DaNgLe:
this rom runs slow as hell on my htc magic(voda 32b)

Am I doing something wrong? I flashed the a2sd version could that be why?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] finalgear:
holey crap this rom is slow as hell
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Jay_8698:
eViL, I finally found out how to solve the problem for some people or myself.

Go into the Advanced Task Manager, and check every application and end them all. It really speeds up the ROM do this every time you open up several applications and it'll run great and fast. :D

Again, thank you eViL this ROM is grrrreaattt.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Elton.Tsai:
for those who suffer slowness,

try to partition a swap partition with 192mb, this really helpful.

if you don't know how to do so, follow the instruction of How To Partition SD Card With Ubuntu For Dummies

I'm trying to run compcache to see if this could make this rom even better.

Would someone provide the file of user.conf and userinit.sh that works on your device?

Thank eViL for making this great ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Unusable, that's pretty extreme. You know, the dialer supports t9 search, right? ^^
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Awesome!

Hey, btw, I was thinking about your CC issue, have you tried to make sure the modules are there?

adb shell find -name modules.sqf

If they're not, try pushing them from either the patch of ROM itself.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
I'll be sure to look into that boss. Thanks for the tip. I considered that the other night, but forgot to follow through with that thought. I'll get back to you on that, most definitely. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pilotedge:
I've tried everything here, and it runs plenty fast when I'm using it, the big problem is when you stop using it and it sleeps. Incoming calls take ages to come through, alarms wither dont go off or go off and then dont stop etc etc.

So close!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
OK. It makes the ROM unusable FOR ME. I'm not sure what you mean by T9 search though.

Wow, thats too much maintenence for a daily use device. think that post just convinced me to go back to cyanogen :) reminds mee too much of what its like to run windows....

REIGNZONE

I love this rom over all I cant say anything bad about it my phone is the stupid one

hey I talked you last night on youtube... the fuzzies happen when I use a kernel from drizzy or jac usually the main reason or if it has parts implimented I promise you I didnt do something wrong... for the fuzzies is because the phones build date I here. If you got your phone pre release most likely not going to get it I got mine like a week after release alot of people on other forums say the samething, any how ...i have a mt3g =latest radio... the 2005 haykuro spl...class 6 sd card wiped all partitions through adb rm 1 rm 2 rm 3, repartitioned converted to ext3... I know what I'm doing I dont post here cause well people are just rude or ignorant and ask stupid questions I read here alot cause its either stupid ?'s or really smart statements, like the ones you make, you know what you're doing obviously... but over all i can try and switch kernels but I know I'm more then likely going to see problems with that later... and I lost auto rotate... like you said last night/this morning amon ra 1.2.3 has a 1 click fix for it, well flahed that last night using adb it didnt do anything for me... so my problems with this rom so far is i got blurry/fuzzies... fixed with a port, cause I'm know dev or any thing... I know how to use adb I can push things and pull like build.prop, or user.conf and edit them with notepad++ but I dont know what to edit to get auto rotate back or what to edit to get my led's back I dont see in the app_s or app folder any heroled.apk so I cant pull them and install the heroled203.apk that one of the devs made here in the dev forums... I tried to install it hering and reading that it was awesome but it just gave force close every time... and again this rom is awesome notthe rom's fault just my phone hates the kernel its using I want to use this rom so badly... I'm still using it as the problems are minor but make it a little annoying and not as good as it should be any help reignzone evil d and other super smart guys it is appreciated
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] redrazr7791:
Someone just answer me this. After watching Reign's youtube video he says that he would recommend this ROM for first time rooters. Ok....this is my first time rooting. On the first page where you can DL the Rom their is the ROM DL link and then below it another DL for animations. Do I need to download both of them, or could I just download the ROM itself? I put off selling my MT3G so I could root and now want to get the fastest Hero rom onto my phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mt3g:
yes just get the rom the animations are just extra after you install the rom if you want more fanct in your life
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] redrazr7791:
THANKS!!! :D

And just to clarify...I downloaded the first ZIP not the one with the A2SD FIX...is this the right one?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mt3g:
it'll work just fine apps to sd is where the phone uses an ext3 partition of the card to store apps there instead of your internal phone memory, not really a huge issue unless you plan on installing alot of apps
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MyTouch72:
Hey Reignzone,

First off... thank you very much for your thorough and detailed explanations and tips. They are very much appreciated.

I do have to sympathize with some of the comments left by other users in the group. A phone should just work. Period. No fuzz or delay... even a half sec delay in response can truly annoy most users...

But then again... this is not just a phone... its a completely programmable computer, being programmed by people on their spare time, probably, or not able to completely dedicate their time to these project. Therefore, anyone wanting to dive into the rooting world, will need to have much more patience, and most importantly, the capacity to learn, test, re-test, break, and fix their phone!

So i tip my hat to you, and Evil D for all your hard work! I truly appreciate your assistance and help.

Now... on to my questions :) .... did you think i wasn't going to have any!

what is the BFS230.zip patch for? i can't seem to find what BFS REPO is either.

I have switched my swappiness to 100 in the user.conf file already, and have noticed a slight increase in performance.

What is the difference between CC swappiness and LS swappiness. how are they configured?

Thanks again for your assistance!

Once again...thank you for the reply. I really do not use a lot of apps...maybe facebook, myspace and a twitter client. Other than that...I do not download from the market much if any :p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/bfs/bfs-faq.txt

The patches/kernels are designed to increase the overall speed of the device. The REPO, is a repository that I have setup so other can download and patch to their hearts content. The patches are flashed via recovery. Very simple, flash, reboot. No wiping.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Wow. I'm flattered; thanks! I'll continue to add concepts and various information that I may have left out over the course of time. I believe that 50% of that is common sense, but some of those things I've suggested can come in handy to even the "most advanced users".

I just hope that others will appreciate what I've posted as well. Thanks again.

Just flashed this on my G1 (I know, I'm a Daredevil) Didn't work out so hot. If anyone's curious.. don't try. =p

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ChrisChavez:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Johnny Blaze:
Actually maybe you can check with eugene to see if there is a fix. Using his Hero 3g rom jac kernel and contact search works perfect with no fc just as in previous Evil Hero roms
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Yeah, there is indeed a "fix"...but at this point Evil isn't really affiliated with Eugene, yet he has offered help. So, eventually that could be resolved...but as of now; not quite. Again, the force close issue sources back to the kernel from what I understand. After several discussions with CC about this; he and I agree that somewhere within is what's causing the problem. :confused:

Also, Eugene may be using different BFS-patches. Perhaps even an older kernel from JAC/ski...? I don't know, I don't flash his builds.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
hrmm, I don't see why it wouldn't work.... did it even boot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Hey Evil, first off...I'd like to say thanks for providing the links on your OP. Much obliged. Now, as for this CC error via ADB. I'm still in the same boat. I double-checked to see that the modules were present...they most certainly are! Also, they reside in their "normal" place, so that's not the issue either. Do you think if I pulled the modules.sqf from v3.0 (standard) and pushed it to my build that it might resolve the issue? I am yet to try that...and it would seem that it's my last resort. :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eViL D::
Yeah, try pushing it from an update. They are the same. You'll probably need to remount and reboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Reignzone:
Oh, yeah...absolutely! adb remount - adb push.

I'll check it out, push the modules and then reboot. Could it really be that simple? Let's hope so! :D

Ok i must've done something wrong or i'm missing something huge. Where are the sprint apps? Just downloaded 3.0 and i don't see them. Saw that they were in Reignzones review but don't see them?

Woah?

Yeah, you missed something HUGE there. This ROM does not come with the Sprint Experience applications. I installed those manually. :rolleyes:
