[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Newbie16:
Sorry for not posting sooner but i'm not sure where the app is doing the test read/write, and until i find that out i don't know if its a useful result, because if its writing to the sdcard then its just the speed of the sdcard itself rather than xfs on the root and data partitions showing the performance boost. There is also umounting issues with xfs, which means it has to be cleaned on startup, Its log is causing lots of extra writes to the sdcard which will shorten its lifespan.

The current method of storing data in the data.img is fine, the only issue is that its in data.img in the first place. I'm frequently messing with my system.img, rootfs.img and data.img and it became time consuming and i had to run lots of commands, i used xfs so that i could just mount the root partition and edit it directly rather than editing the system-cupcake-03 folder, then using cramfs, then mounting the sdcard and copying over the system.img, i hated doing stuff this way, too many long commands.

Its very very very very annoying to have to create a new compressed image just to change a single line or use a new thing, so i wanted everything as a partition and thats how xfs as root and data came about.

[ /sdcard - rest ][ 300mb rootfs.img+system.img combined ][ 200mb data ][ 64mb swap ]

It might be faster with ext2 as root since it doesn't have a journal to write along with the written data but i've always used xfs on my server so i went with it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Rhys'Droid:
I would also like to know how you set this up. It is very annoying having system and rootfs has RO, and I would imagine that it slows everything down considerably to have to compress and decompress all the time. You using a custom kernel to enable support?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Newbie16:
Then you can create a system.ext2 image and use it rather than the squashfs files. I think rootfs rw, just the system is ro.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Rhys'Droid:
If it is that simple, then why is everyone using *.img and *.sqsh files?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Newbie16:
Well .ext2 images are much bigger and so it'll take much longer to upload those. Also there aren't any benchmarks of the performance difference between squashfs and .ext2 system images. But the issue is this, reading from the sdcard is slow, if its compressed you'll read less and uncompress it, and uncompression is pretty fast. It could mean that overall squashfs is faster than ext2, so without a benchmark i think squashfs is fine.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Rhys'Droid:
hmm, that is a good point. Thanks for the explanation Newbie, I appreciate it!

cross platform?

Hey now everybody.

So this guy I know got himself an HD2 maybe to spite me for buying an N1 and defecting from WinMo. He's talking a lot of trash, won't relent. Me too.

I'd like to engage him in a drag race and I think since we're talking about two very different platforms the simplest way to do this is just to pit how our respective operating systems handle the Snapdragon against each other by means of a Pi fight.

Maybe this isn't the best place to ask but off hand anyone know of a WM equivalent to something like BenchmarkPI or anything else there may be to standardize something about our phones related to math? Or perhaps there's a better way to make my point other than going back and forth about milliamp hours, weight, the virtues of hard buttons and Google versus Microsoft?

Thanks.

Hi Guys:

I wonder, will manufacturer (HTC) honor warranty on devices bought on ebay? Is there any condition or constraint on seller?

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] denco7:
If the seller is an authorized reseller of HTC phones, the HTC will warranty the phone. But the fine print states that the person seeking the warranty service must be the original purchaser of the phone.

Therefore if the ebay seller is just a reseller from a wholesaler or a distributor, the ebay seller becomes the original purchaser, and as soon as he sells it to you, the warranty is not honored.

I use Chronos (a clock program) as my screensaver. I also use Spb PocketPlus for my home screen rather than the stock HTC home screen.

I'm trying to find the command in the software that invokes the screensaver so I can put a link to it on my home screen. I cannot find anything that works in the Windows folder (like scrnsaver in XP).

I also use TweakHD, but can't find anything in there.

Anybody know where this might be found? If I activate to the chronos.exe file, it brings up the full program with the settings indicator, etc. so that I can't dismiss it just by touching it. That's why I'm trying to find the command within the OS that invokes the screensaver.

Thanks.

screensaving with pdas means switching off the screen. you will not have much fun with a device that is switched on all the time, because your battery will be drained in less than a day. so there´s no switch to use to activate a screensaver like at your computer at home

Now that we have all the components to cook clean X1 roms based on 6.5 I wonder why nobody has done it yet? No HTC stuff. With new builds we can have updates as if it where SE who releasing them. Also goodies from X2 can be included.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] spikegotti:
hmmm, i wonder who will too...regardless how clean they say it is you will always find some additional app you dont want that was cooked into the rom, and you wont be able to delete it after flashing

i hope the chefs here who cook clean ROMs do cook a clean rom and leave all 3rd party apps for us to add only if we want, for example, i do not use finger keyboard and i stumbled upon a clean rom with fingerkeyboard, including a few other 3rd party apps, the ROm was good, but i hate to know there is an app on my x1 that is 3rd party that i do not want and cannot remove....

it cannot be clean if you add anything 3rd party...clean means strictly M$ and SE

well thats why i am still on the R3A SEUS fed me, when 6.5 is done and we get the new panel manager and so on then i will cook my own custom rom; it will look as tho it came from SEUS

Still no sign of a clean, I mean fully clean rom based on 6.5 using latest builds. It should be up to the user to install whatever they want. I know all the cooks on the board does a perfect job but still there is not a option for many of us outhere that still want it to be only SE with 6.5 build.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] spikegotti:
Exactly, there are no clean roms at this point, just lite versions... i do hope we can find one sometime with the wm 6.5...i prefer to install my own apps due to the fact that the 3rd party apps chefs do cook in the roms i never use

[Hero, G2 Touch General] ShiroEd:
So after spending two days with the new official ROM I am dumbstruck that HTC let the Hero out the door as it was initially.

If you guys are like me you read online gadget blog reviews of new phones and you base your purchasing decisions to a lesser or greater extent on the reviews posted on these sites. The Hero received generally favorable reviews across the board BUT they were ALL tarred with the issue of the lagginess and unresponsiveness of the UI. Typical comments were "Sense UI is great but the hardware is not up to the task" etc. Hero was always compared to the iPhone and initially it was a more frustrating experience navigating the UI.

Clearly HTC have the ability to release software without these issues (new ROM proves that!) so why did they? I feel like they *really* hurt the sales and market potential of Hero and Sense UI by releasing an 'unfinished' product.

Can you imagine what Engadget's review (for instance) might have been had they reviewed a Hero with the new ROM?

I bought a Hero despite those reviews because I could see the potential in the handset but I know of others that steered clear because of the massive 'BUT...' at the end of most online reviews.

Its an opportunity missed I fear as the Hero is no longer a 'new' device.

I'm very glad that HTC have made my handset waaaaay nicer to use but seriously HTC... big, BIG ball drop! :o
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thiesen:
Well... the Android phones are not really for the average Joes out there... they are for us techies and gadget lovers that love the freedom of doing cool and neat things with a phone.

We don't want to be tied up in an bondage game conducted/directed by a fruity company... and that is also why we choose a company we know.

Good enough?

You really thought we would feed a troll?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ShiroEd:
I honestly thought my post was a valid topic in a discussion forum about the HTC Hero.

@Thiesen

Wha?!? I really don't understand what your reply has got to do with my post. I think you've misunderstood the subject of my comments (perhaps if I had written in binary it might have been clearer?)

A broader acceptance of any platform is enabling and will benefit all users from 'techies' to 'average Joes'. Its not a matter of IF Android will become more mainstream but WHEN. I'm sorry if this makes you feel less special.

Troll indeed...:rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thiesen:
We're early adopters. We like to find bugs. We like to find glitches. And we take great pride in reporting them back to the devs and makers.

The average Joes just want things to work. They are not early adopters. They should get an iPhone then.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] crash_194:
I'm sorry mate but i think thats total rubbish, you wouldn't buy a car knowing it didn't work and happily waste your own time feeding back problems to the manufacture to bring it up to speed. You wouldn't go out and buy a brand new state of the art car and happily put a new engine in it would you knowing the one you had paid for was crap?

AND might I ad, the research and R+D that is put in to these items is all reflected in the price of them. If HTC were giving these phones away for beta testing or what not then fine, but for a £400 handset, i totally agree with the comments made by ShiroEd.

I have had no end of nokia handsets where i have thought nokia have been guilty of the same issue, releasing what could be classed as unfinished products.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Personally, I always though the tech sites overplayed the whole lag issue on the original ROM. Yes it was there, but in my experience the net effect was quite limited and in my case it didn't really limit my ability to use the device. I'm not saying that the issue didn't (or doesn't! ;) ) exist, just that in my opinion it was acceptable for a device of this nature (please no flames from those who disagree).

This may be because I didn't load my home screens with tons of apps, and one of the first things I did do with my Hero was to remove the People and Weather widgets, and set up Peep appropriately.

That would presume that the iPhone isn't possessed of the same issues that the Hero is/was. Google "iphone lag" and you'll see loads of posts complaining about lag on the iPhone, even for the latest OS and the 3GS.

In addition, you will probably find that the *vast* majority of people who've purchased the Hero have never even heard of XDA-Developers, and probably will never install another ROM. We are in the minority, not the "average joe" when it comes to Hero ownership!

Whilst I disagree with the OP, I don't think he was trolling.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] graculusthegreenbird:
Agreed with crash. Thats just rubbish.

Entirely valid topic, and entirely valid point. Nothing remotely troll like about it.

Regardless of the people on this site, the Hero is definitely aimed at the average consumer, as a direct competitor in the iPhone market. Hence the multimedia, Facebook, etc.

Rushed to market I agree, but no idea why... Could just be lack of QA.

Many of the bugs reported here and elsewhere have been met with surprise by HTC, as if they really didnt know they existed. Do they not have a QA department that actually uses the phones in real life? Takes them home, plays with them, uses them all day and night to report the bugs?

Still, the update is great, the phone is flying now. If they could just sort out the crappy contact photo issue, the album caching, and the horrendous lack of bluetooth file transfer, I'd be a happy chap..;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Alex~:
I think they shipped out the preview models and early review versions to people in the hope that they'd ignore any slowdown. Most of the review sites seem to have mentioned this in some form, saying that it can be a bit laggy but the final release could be good and the software shows potential - obviously it was never fixed for the first release.

To be fair, we're all early testers for the new HTC interface. If the Hero sells well and works well for everyone then we'll obviously be getting the same thing in future phones.

I don't think HTC is expecting any particular phone to be the next killer phone, they're just working on improvements with each new model.
