what we really need is speed from day one to day three lol. i'm pretty sure it has to do with how the memory gets cached and especially with compcache being flooded after awhile. maybe the system needs a script that clears the compcache after awhile.. i'm just throwing out stuff but i'm sure everyone is in the same boat.
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
Absolutely. I've adjusted my user.conf to 18 memlimit and 60 swappiness with a 169mb partition as of 5here hours ago. Less lagging and overall better performance than 80 swappiness but definitely faster than 40 swappiness especially with partitions larger than 64mb. Right now its the fastest configuration I've ever tried, but need to wait and see for a few days. but I HAVE found that I can press home from the browser, something I couldn't do with other swap setups :) hope it helps

Edit: I used the Benchmark market app again, and it got faster :D
[G1 Android Development] after3ffect:
has anyone else's 1.6 crashed when going from the browser to home via the home button?

Edit: would anyone be able to point to a place where it teaches you how to actually edit in the user.conf. I tried searching and I found different user.conf files but I can't find out how to flash them in/install them in to the phone for the life of me.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
In the OP, I gave a link to a tutorial I made about user.conf's

Hope that helps...

also, don't forget to reboot your phones every day or 2...

its just like a computer, let it get rid of stale data!!!
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Look for 1.7 most likely tomorrow as Im pretty busy today, follow me on twitter though all, Ill keep ya posted

also, youtube is included in all my ROMs :p
[G1 Android Development] isikh:
Awesome. I'm going to skip on 1.6 lol..can't wait for 1.7 tomorrow..and I can't believe I missed youtube!
[G1 Android Development] SteveRiley:
SD card class

Been enjoying this ROM, excellent work. I'm using the stock 1 gig microSD card that came with the phone, partitioned now as 476 MB FAT32, 476 MB ext4, and 64 MB linux-swap. Left the ROM 1.6 compcache and swappiness values at defaults. I've been watching the various conversations about lagginess and overall speed. I ordered a 4 GB class 6 card from Newegg yesterday. How much difference does the class 6 card make?
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
True.

Can't disagree, my opinion is definitely not better than yours.
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
MAJOR diff: in fact, I used the stock sd for a while, and it crashed like 3 times. .. now I have a class 6, it's faster, more consistent ,and I have no crashes :) it gets like 20mbps
[G1 Android Development] BrutalHoe:
i've got a problem runni power manager pro and Audio hack 2.1 they fc on the start.
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
I havent tested in a long time, but the big notice for me was when i used things off the sdcard. Ex. Play music, play snes games, Marvel vs. Capcom, things like that, is the biggest difference in my opinion. As of the Rosie itself didnt test thorough enough.

BTW loving 1.6 right now. i love mligns theme, but i love the performance here alot more. Everything is smooth and been for 1 whole day. Wonder whats going to come in 1.7
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
thanks alot guys ! :D

Umm look for the transparent lockscreen, upgraded audio hack, and a couple other goodies

YeS, It WiLl Be just as FAsST if NoT FaStEr ;)
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
SWEETNESS!!! that will be awesome. Yah um you should try 169mb 60 swappiness 18 memlimit. When. I benchmsrked, those were definitely the best settings. .. the g1 needs a lot more RAM to run well. Now I can go from browser to home with nearly no lag :D everything else is amazing thanks s9 much kingklick!
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
169 MB? Is that the size of the swap partition you use?
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Thats pretty big...........
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
How did you come up with those numbers?

I know linux swap should be 1.5 x the Ram, but for the G1, should that be the size of the swap?
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
King, would you be able to add the reboot item to the Shutdown menu? It is very convenient. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] njgheewala:
I would second that King, that would be nice...cannot wait for the 1.7!
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
yah I can play with it and see, no other hero rom has it working either as of now I believe...

anyway been real busy Probably work on 1.7 when I get back way later tonight, release tomorrow at some time :D
[G1 Android Development] SteveRiley:
This evening I repartitioned my SD card and modified user.conf to match prince.siraj's numbers. Gotta say performance is noticeably better, UI feels a bit snappier, returning to homescreen has almost no lag. Still get the "retrieving sign-in details" message when the browser starts, though.

Should be even better when my class 6 SD card shows up.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
hmm.. does the default settings really work THAT well? the backing cc and what not? if so ill flash the blacked out version of this rom that has cc in it. not the one that i requested that Lycoln generiously made and he really didnt have to but i deeply appreciated. Thanks again Lycoln
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
where can i find this blacked out version?

and yea im a firm believer in the power of linux swap but this rom shows how good backing and cc really can work. I noticed increased battery life for a hero rom too.\

edit* found it thanks lycoln
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
Blacked out version is the theme made by lycoln. its amazing lol..its on the first page. and ok ill reflash then.

http://tinyurl.com/lyc-grp3 ;)

Wait shouldnt i be able to just enable cc using notepad on the phone? if so can you tell me the commands? im kinda lost with the cc and all that ;)
[G1 Android Development] BrutalHoe:
idk y but this 1.6 is slower then when i ran 1.2 .....wtf?
[G1 Android Development] badmonopoly:
Dialer, mms, touchflo continually crash on G1 :(

I can't find a stable rom (that's new).
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
I came up with these numbers because I was tired of everytime I pressed home from browser it showed an HTC loading screen so I tried a higher swap partition and it worked! Then I made swap piness 60 instead of 80 and it responds better. 18 memlimit is best performance for compcache. Change dsisksize to 0 also
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
I'm glad it worked for you :D what happened was I had 7700mb fat32 and 405mb ext3 so I thought to take some of that off and add it to my swap so ext3 is now 300mb then I filled swap to what was left lol and after changing the swaps and swappiness I found something good :D
[G1 Android Development] Bzerk1:
Thank you so much! I can now be whole! lol, your ROM is like crack, makes everything faster and you'll get hooked with one try. BTW 2nd day past and still no lag at all on 1.6. awesome.
[G1 Android Development] isikh:
I have the same exact problem going from 1.2! It's so much slower
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I find...

It's pretty snappy with 96mb and only linux swap, there's only a one second delay when going home from the browser for me.
[G1 Android Development] Mookie_Jones:
i dont mean to ask a silly question but about amonth ago when using roms it said to only use 32mb of swap space but this rom says 64 is ok.. is that truely how im reading it? i would like to do whatever i can to make things faster
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
That is ok I'm actually using 96 at the moment but others in this thread are using as much as 169, it just comes down to preference
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
With a higher swap, it wont lag when you use the browser then press home. I get no delay when i press home now. Got tired of having the HTC loading screen and tried messing around with my settings. try it once my settings might help you...

You'll be surprised
[G1 Android Development] dweller88:
I love this rom but I only hear my phone ringing on the 5th ring and am missing calls.

My previous stable hero rom was jacheroski 1.8 and I didn't have the delayed ring

problem with that one.
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
I think that's a memory problem. .. try changing your swap partition to 169, and in the user.conf adjust the compcache to memlimit 18, disksize 0, swappiness 60. Then tell me if you have any problems after rebooting
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Or search for miketaylor00's setpriority.sh it works fine for me, first ring
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Also...

I'm using the stock 1g card (getting 8 gig class 6 soon) and am going to use the 169mb settings on 1.7 when it comes out. My question is how big does the ext3 partition have to be? I don't use a2sd so that's not a problem
[G1 Android Development] dweller88:
thanks for the tips everyone, I'm gonna try miketaylor00's script
[G1 Android Development] jinx10000:
I did a lot of tests with linux-swap sizes pre-BFS.

I found that large swap sizes reduced the loading screens to almost zero, but the phone would lag like hell. The phone would take a long to ring, etc.

With 32 meg swap the phone would ring quickly, but you would get a ton of loading screens. I don't know if this is still the case. I haven't done any tests recently. With Mike Taylor's phone prioritization script, my phone rings pretty quickly. So no worries there.
[G1 Android Development] carnegie0107:
It's like a diesel engine...

This ROM is blazing fast... eventually. I notice that when I first turn the phone on, it's completely unusable for at least ten minutes, often more. If I turn it on and walk away, don't touch anything, for 15 mins, it's as fast as stock Cupcake, and it continues to run smoothly for days. But if I try to use it within ten minutes of boot, it just hangs, lags, and usually crashes.

Edit: formatted ext, wiped and reflashed. Now it's killer fast. Will flash 1.7 when I get off work tonight. Can't wait!
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
The mem limit for you should be higher because thats how much it compresses the files, only to 18mb.
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
Prince, I have been following your recommendations for user.conf, but the disksize=0, please explain. Is that the cc_disksize setting? The user conf said the vaule should be 1 to 95. Please explain. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Look for a release, early after in an hour or so!
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Hell yea! :D
[G1 Android Development] jdscully:
Last day or so I have been having the missed call issue, missed 3 this morning and my phone it sitting right next to me. Not sure if you can include the ring fix in this build.
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Same here. I ran fix_permissions and I think it has fixed the problem.
[G1 Android Development] darvondoom:
This is a great build, been using it for a few days, only issue i've noticed is when recieving a mms the slideshow doesn't actually load the photo, resulting in a grey screen.
[G1 Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
cant wait for 1.7. hmm king question, in maxisma's new rom,he has the new bfs and he uses cc only. theres no need for swap anymore in his build. have you got ahold of this new bfs and tried incorperating it in your rom? i dont want to use swap anymore lol..
[G1 Android Development] jdscully:
I just tried this too, I can't view pictures in MMS.
[G1 Android Development] Mookie_Jones:
im having way too slow of issues going from anything to home. 30secs plus. dunno what it is I might have done.
[G1 Android Development] Dalamar1320:
SetCPU to max, 64mb swap, as recommended by King, this has near 0 issues. Its super fast. No FC. I have no issues with MMS, with the exception that my dumb friends continue to send me many many MMS messages, but that's not the Roms fault lol.

Only issue I have is the ring issue, I miss calls because I only hear the phone go off about a second before the phone hangs up. But still... BRAVO job on this rom. I can't bring myself to even try anyone elses roms since 1.2
[G1 Android Development] thugmafia:
if this is slower 4 you then i think something is really wrong wit your phone this is the faster i have every used and even on 4gb C4 no loading what so ever
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Sorry I refuse to use that yet.

Dont like my phone rebooting all day after the third day or so of use :eek:
[G1 Android Development] SteveRiley:
Based on what I've been able to deduce from some research, cc_disksize is meaningful only if you aren't using backing-swap. Since the ROM is using backing-swap by default, and we're lately discussing enlarging the linux-swap partition to 169 MB, you can leave the cc_disksize setting alone, because it's ignored here.

If someone else can confirm or deny this, please chime in.
[G1 Android Development] kolyan:
1.7 coming today ? would like to try this, havent used this rom since v1
[G1 Android Development] BrutalHoe:
Mling's hero is so much faster and more stable. no matter what i did this rom was still slow
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
tell that to the hundreds of people using this :p

yah 1.7 is comin waitin on some changes...
[G1 Android Development] falcon72:
please tell me it's coming tonight please ..... my hand is shaking right now as I haven't flash my phone for awhile now
[G1 Android Development] njgheewala:
with 1.6 I only have 72MB on the phone available, am I doing something wrong or is this what it suppose to be? I switched from Cyanogen's 4.0.4 where I had about 10 more MB...just curious nothing special (anxiously waiting for 1.7 :p)
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
The current ROM's speed is fast already, focus on stability. Thanks the "King" for understanding that and making sure that we do not have to deal to BETA software issues.
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
If you browse the web, some of the storage goes to cache the internet files. When I did a clean install, I had about 85MB available. Right now, it drops to 70MB.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
O it is my friend... it is
[G1 Android Development] njgheewala:
Thanks, can I get the cache moved to the SD card...I think the recovery has that option?
[G1 Android Development] vamopyros_wrath:
Sweet bro, will try asap lol, just for a heads up, will i be ok with a large swap again, or keep it low still? lol just wonderin king thanks
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
64 seems best, MAYBE 96

Lycoln PM me

Fans- Answer the poll plx
[G1 Android Development] SteveRiley:
Just did. What exactly is a "rugged" widget? :)
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
I super optimized it, and some of the images are a little bit out of wack, its nothing crazy stupid, but they are completely usable and fast!
[G1 Android Development] jdscully:
I voted to wait (if I had a 2nd choice it would be to release without widgets). I just remember how many people were frustrated with the blackboxes the last time there was a change. Did you change all the clocks?
[G1 Android Development] kolyan:
i personally dont use clock, weather, or twitter widgets, so i say release 1.7 today. cant wait since my phone isnt working good and needs to be flashed !
[G1 Android Development] njgheewala:
I use the clock, weather, twitter widget...whats the use if HERO ROM if you cannot utilize it to its optimum and look good too. I would like to wait!
[G1 Android Development] vamopyros_wrath:
Yes king I agree. Also I just love your updates lol I say go for it man
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Good news fans! Looks like we may be able to get this fixed up !

anyway mod pleaasee close my poll
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Still testing...

Man wait til you guys see how slick the twitter widget is and a few other things once I get the visual aspect straightened out...

You guys are in for something tasty ;)
[G1 Android Development] vamopyros_wrath:
hell yes you the man, fix it before its even an issue, lol been following your twitter, sweet lol
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Hell yes thats how we usually try to make things work.

Yah lycoln's got the brains on all things visual
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
Lol just got back from a school fair. Our class had to clean up and got $250 for it :D and then I see this. Personally I would hope you release it now and in your next update finish optimizing everything. Unless you can get it optimized today.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
We'll have a release today just waiting on a couple fixes
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
That's true, but I was talking to miketaylor and he recommended putting it to 0 when using backing swap. .. Idk if it even matters? Is the disksize just never looked at?
[G1 Android Development] BrutalHoe:
im sorry man but i flashed a few roms past week Mlings was the fastest so far.

i mean i tried everything including diff user.conf settings i spent past 2 days playing around and twiking it but i just couldn't get it=/

idk y but once i flashed mling's last night it was fast and stable right of the start.....idk y can it b the phone ???
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Maybe

Just depends, My startup isnt the fastest because of all the widgets and things that are on my UI by default.

your opinion is your opinion though :)
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
the disksize isnt looked at if backing swap is enabled
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
Most likely the swap settings. try the ones in my signature, and hope 1.7 is uploaded soon, flash, then put my settings into the user.conf and copy it to /system/bin/user.conf and see if it helps
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
So its absolutely not looked at thanks for clarifying
[G1 Android Development] jdscully:
Could you also put up some new screenshots... I think it will help "promote" it :)
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Of what though? Everyone's seen what Im going to have changed.

EVerything will look the same except a transparent status bar and possibly lockscreen too :)
[G1 Android Development] big nu:
Klick what good! i was wondering if there was gonna be any changes w/

the audio in 1.7? i was getting complaints about loud background noise

while incalls... goodlook on your dedication bro!

:cool:
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Shouldnt be an issue now
[G1 Android Development] jdscully:
I was more talking about new people trying it. Especially if you change the widgets, status bar, lockscreen, etc. Was just a suggestion.
[G1 Android Development] kolyan:
tomorrow it is then......
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
O well they'll look the same, I just super otimized them

Yes, release tomorrow... Didnt want to release an unfinshed product for the people who wanted it, only to be criticized by the masses :D

I have work tomorrow morning, so look for a release tomorrow afternoon around 3:30-4 PST

Love you fans :cool:
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
I am happy with 1.6 since I installed it, I have not had a problem. Thanks for the hard work King.
[G1 Android Development] vamopyros_wrath:
Sweeet cannot wait...anticipation building, really lookin forward to this per yours any lycolns twitters lol also cant wait for the blackd out version too :cool:
[G1 Android Development] cephaus:
this rom needs a "english (united states)" Selection
[G1 Android Development] BrutalHoe:
actually i did try cuz i used the user.conf u posted for me in the other thread and i didnt notice big diff.

i just thought of that i used Lync's blue and white rom maybe there was a problem there? anyways once 1.7 is here ill try that =)
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
REPHRASED:

Would it cause any problems if I flash over 1.6 with 1.7 without wiping? I do not want to loose my contacts that I synced with my computer since I am away from it for a while.
[G1 Android Development] jtroye32:
i don't know if it's been mentioned, but does anyone else have greek letters on your keypad sometimes when you bring it up? I've had it happen a few times already.. it goes away then comes back out of nowhere. Also when in the texting app it run's really slow when there's a lot of messages in the thread you're in (scrolling through them especially). Also if you receive a text sometimes it will bring the phone to a crawl until you run hero LED to stop the LED from blinking.

Anyone else have ANY of these problems?
[G1 Android Development] cephaus:
maybe

make a gmail account and sync your phone will sync your contacts ota
[G1 Android Development] SteveRiley:
I saw the Greek letter problem yesterday. I changed my locale to en-US when I first started configuring my settings. Later in the day I noticed Greek letters on the dialer. I checked the locale and it had changed from "en-US" to "en" (without a country designation). I set it back to "en-US" and the Greek letters went away.
[G1 Android Development] lycoln:
Try out Lycoln_This_KingxKx ("Blacked Out" v1.6 or "NWg" v1.6) and see if the keys still turn any other language but English...Just need someone to confirm that it doesn't happen and I can put out the fix.

Someone was having it happen, but Russian, before...even after changing locales.
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
King release ur 1.7

ima flash it !

^^
[G1 Android Development] largo79:
this is by far the most stable Hero rom i have flashed!!! Quick, no lags even with every screen filled with widgets, no loading screens after web browsing or using certain apps! I love it! Thanks for your work and for all the devs that have worked on the Hero rom to make it is what it is on our G1!
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
wheres the 1.7 link? argh! wanna flash! got a good feeling about this hero. coming from MLIGN and gotta say its a damn fast Hero!

wanna give this a spin! cmon! haha
[G1 Android Development] lakerfan123:
wait i thought he was releasing 1.7 tomorrow, can u confirm, king?

1.6 is beginning to lag on me, so im really looking forward to 1.7
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Yes tomorrow is release date.

Give your phone a reboot, let it get fresh memory.

1.7 will be very fun for you all ;)
[G1 Android Development] hades0069:
So I have been trying different Hero builds and with every single one it's relatively smooth but every time I leave an app or the web browser or anything I close it sits at the HTC screen for about 5 sec. It than proceeds loading the home screen which take about 10 sec to load. But instead of the home screen loading, the apps page loads up. Which at that point I am able to press home and everything is fine again.

Just wondering if that is normal? If not i'm obviously doing something wrong when flashing or with the settings.
[G1 Android Development] jtroye32:
Yeah, that works with changing it back, but I think the problem reproduces itself.

As for flashing your themed ROM Lycoln - I'll wait until you theme 1.7 so I have to flash less times :) Love your work though, will definitely throw one of yours on when King stops putting out all these updates.. he's on FIRE!! (in a good way)
[G1 Android Development] jtroye32:
i have a question about wiping completely that i'm not 100% on. if you use the wipe and reset to defaults option in cyan's recovery 1.4 and you reformat just your ext partition is that considered a complete wipe? I was wondering because I want to make sure I'm not leaving data behind that could slow things down for newer versions of this ROM.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
May have an early release of 1.7 tonight

:cool:

CHeeRs
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
pretty cool
[G1 Android Development] lakerfan123:
i likeee!!!
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Ok guys, got er uploading, going to do a bit more testing though.......

*keep fingers crossed* :D
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
Ok Guys! 1.7 is out! GET IT!!!!
[G1 Android Development] hades0069:
HAHHAHAHAHA I just flashed your 1.6 rom /facepalm.....but thanks for the update either way
[G1 Android Development] lakerfan123:
is this the final release of 1.7 or a early release?
[G1 Android Development] after3ffect:
Best question on this page.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
FINAL 1.7!

Finished up earlier then I thought I would!

:D
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
in your changelog it said you are using CC does that mean we no longer need a swap partition?
