Oh okay, guess I jumped the gun a little bit. I def think the build needs compcache, at least on Dream\g1 as it is def ram anemic. I have recently been testing the 10mb kernel hack and the has helped performance even more. Guess all we need is more memory to get this baby flying
[G1 Android Development] sagementor:
So is 64mb swap better or 96mb better? 96mb is the default for Hero Rom!!
[G1 Android Development] frankencat:
Can you guys point me to somewhere where I can learn about these performance tweaks? I have searched but all I get is people's settings etc, which is fine but I want to know what and why before I dive in. I am running CM 4.1.9999. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] mfrey0118:
I had the same problem and that fixed it too...thanks!
[G1 Android Development] senab:
After struggling with the slowdowns for a week or so, I decided to turn off compcache and use just a straight 48mb swap with a swappiness of 30. Seems to be working a lot better for me and I've been running like this with NO slowdowns for 2 days now.

Regarding swap sizes. I don't think it really matter what size you go for. Hero needs massive swap sizes because even with no programs running, it doesn't fit in Dream's RAM. Donut does meaning the swap will only really be used when you have lots of programs open (providing you set the swappiness fairly low). I've had browser, babbler, k9 mail, advanced task managaer, ak notepad, calendar and gmail all open and my swap was only 32MB full.

Help getting swap to work

Swap used to work all the time, and now under TERMINAL, I type free and there is nothing working.. Can someone please remind me how to get the swap to work.. I already copied the 2 files to system/sd and still not working.. Please help.. I had a GScrpit that did ity for me and I ran it and still nothing and seems like I now have random reboots... can someone point me in the right direction..

user.conf settings with all the 9's

I've had issues for a couple weeks messing with the settings not sure if it is this messing or when the 9's started changed something. Followed every step twice to refresh the phone and wipe everything possible with no luck. Today I turned off compcache and just used a straight backing swap using sanab's file as an example. The phone (G1) is running smooth again without compcache. I did run compcache with no issues on CM ROM before the 9's. Wonder if this is related to the BFS getting removed from the next ROM.
[G1 Android Development] senab:
This is almost definitely to do with BFS. I am finding the phone is working better under load with BFS + Swap than previously with CFS + cgroups + compcache (and backing swap).

I have no numbers to prove this therefore my findings are purely subjective. I've now been running my phone for three days straight now and it's still as quick as after first boot, something I couldn't say while using compcache + backing swap on 4.1.999.

I'll certainly be using just straight swap from now on, especially with BFS. I've also found ext4 has made a difference in speed. Please remember though that simply converting your ext3 partition (using tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index) will not make your partition quicker straight away. It will only be quicker for files that are written to the partition after you've "converted" it.

http://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4
[G1 Android Development] desultory677:
I created my partition originally with Ext4 so I could not attribute my issues to the non ext4 slow downs. So far after a few hours and trying to make it slow down I have not seen a significant slow down. Thanks for the reply.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
BFS is causing you guys the slow downs, not the user.conf. BFS 304 sucks in my opinion. They do no testing they just throw stuff out there. I've been talking to Cyrowski about it and we aren't going to release new BFS patches until they have been testsed for a long time. I recommend BFS 300 and BFS 240 because I've tested both of them a lot. I would recommend that to Cyanogen but he never responds to my emails. Not that I blame him, he is a busy guy.
[G1 Android Development] chilln73:
Outline the steps you took. You said you typed free in terminal. What do you mean nothing is working?
[G1 Android Development] Jaysn:
Has anyone done any benchmarking to see if any of this is really helping? Here is a benchmark thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532668. I just ran it on mine, and my install of 4.1.9999 is actually *slower* than a stock G1 in its initial configuration :(
[G1 Android Development] Proxin:
I've noticed that too. I look at other stock G1's (some of my family have them) and it amazes me how fast and stable they are compared to mine. :(
[G1 Android Development] crypticc:
ditto for me please. e.g. sys_vm_en switch isn't mentioned but everyone has it set differently. Is it as I understand that each process will get it's own mem space and therefore be more stable, at expense of ram? And just what is laptop mode? Does this restrict disk usage? If so, does it help or hinder a SS card system?

Thanks

Greetings,

I am using a 6.5 ROM and need to keep my Emoze push email program active. I start it in the morning, but by mid-day, it has somehow been killed. I tried to add it to Exclusive Applications list in task manager, but that did not help.

Is there some setting that I can use to tell windows to not kill this application?

Thanks for any advice.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] HazzBazz:
Allright, Ive been pretty active in the xperia forums here and at htcpedia, but on sunday my xperia got stolen. I was hoping to get the Rhodium but Vodafone Insurance are up tight, in the end I bartered myself to a Vodafone Htc Magic. I like using Andoid and loved playing on the Hero, so I thought it was worth a shot.

I've been trailing through the internet looking for how tos and all sorts, but it seems with Android there are thousands of different ways of doing everything! I went on the Unlockr which gave me a really useful guide to flashing and rooting etc, but it seems that a lot of the stuff is now not in fashion and superceded by other methods.

I'd like to know how to root (heard there was a Cyanogen app on the market), backup (not sure why I should backup but there we go), partition (whether I use Linux swap or W/E, apparently something else is faster, and I don't have Ubuntu) and flash a new rom or update. Finally I'd like to know what sort of rom would be recommended, obviously Ive looked at Cyanogen and would like to flash it, as well as Donut.

Thanks in advance!

update: seen a similar thread but the link provided as a solution looks way too compliacted for me. There are some who ask you to download SDK and stuff, but the Unlockr didnt seem to say that. Also reading Cyanogen's thread, his barebones rom won't include google apps. How can we back these up? Argh I'm so lost.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] HazzBazz:
anyone helpe me?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] alpha7158:
Hi HazzBazz.

I used this method to root my phone:

http://lifehacker.com/5339901/get-root-access-in-android-with-one-click

Follow this to install the custom cyanogenmod rom:

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/rom/cyanogenmod-4-1-999

If you have volume issues after doing the update then this is how to fix it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=568891

Note: when you flash the recovery image of the stock operating system, it will revert back to the old one after a reboot. You will need to flash the recovery image again to put it back. Once cyanogen's rom is installed, the recovery image will stay the same.

Also: Make sure you perform an nandroid backup and make a copy of the nandroid folder that is on your sd onto your pc. Just in case.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] StreetGuru:
I really reccomend you to download the SDK file, you will need one of it's tools sooner or later. Plus adb is a great way to do almost everything in your phone, i use it for almost all. check this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719

I have rooted my phone through the one-click-root method and haven't ahd a problem. I would recommend it as it is the easiest way to do it.

Then you will need to partition your sdcard - i use parted (a tool from the android SDK) as i find it the best method. follow this tutorial to guide you right through it

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534714 (it is made for a dream so it asks you to go to the console and type in the phone - just boot into recovery mode, plug in the sapphire to the computer and access it through adb (with command prompt) and then just follow the instructions.)

if you want to install hero roms (or almost any rom for that matter) you should also update your radio and spl to the latest version. check this thread for hero Q&A http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534461 and this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537365;

Above all you just have to do a bit of reading and experimentation with your phone. Read the forums here and on the dream board and it should get you up and running in a couple of days. just involves a bit o patience in the begining but hey, we all went through it. check also this links/tutorials

i just reflashed my tp with the bell stock rom and when i install an app the icon in the start menu is flickering. Is there a way to stop it? cause its very annoying

thanks
[Touch Pro CDMA] jmy72:
sounds like it could be a bad install, but more likely it sounds like the flash of the stock didn't work all the way. The way that I make sure that I have a perfect flash, is to flash the rom, wait for it to go all the way through. Then I do a hard reset, and let it do it again. after it goes all the way through, I do a soft reset, one last time. Then, and only then, Will I install apps.!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] itpromike:
So I'm seeing multiple reports concerning HTC Hero for Verzion including reports from:

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/10/06/htc-hero-hitting-verizon-in-november/

and

http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/06/second-verizon-android-phone-to-be-the-htc-hero-motorola-sholes/

Sooooo let the speculation begin!!! I'll go first....

I wonder if it's going to have the same hardware since it's going to be keeping the same name 'HTC Hero' I'm new to HTC but I'm sure they wouldn't market the same device with different specs on a different carrier especially since it's keeping the same name or do they have a history of doing that?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Given that the Sprint Hero looks nothing like the original worldwide Hero but shares the same name, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they've just repackaged the Sprint Hero in a new case!

[Hero, G2 Touch General] TheBrit:
I looks like that from the pictures.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Volker1:
I'm sure the carriers want differentiation (look, our Hero looks nothing like Sprint's phone :D ). So instead of the support nightmare of different hardware platforms, you just build one with different shells.

I wonder if we'll be able to transplant the Hero into different cases once some storefront in Kowloon starts selling them :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] itpromike:
Now that would be BRILLIANT! Where do I sign up? If I could get the sprint version in the EU case that would be absolutely perfect.

Actually, looking at the pictures in the above links and the HTC Europe web site it looks a lot like the HTC Tattoo.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ajones7279:
Yea it does look like a cross between the Hero and the Tattoo. A lot of sites are listing it as the HTC Desire though.

Hi, this is my first post/question and before I ask my noob question I'd just like to say thanks for everyone who's made this place such a mine of information! Searching through posts has answered many of my questions but I can't find an answer to this one:-

I want my TouchFlo 2.1 Homescreen to show ALL of my appointments for that day.

I've found lots one post that had a CAB that promised to increase them but it didn't work. I've found posts about shrinking the clock to make more room and various other ideas but nothing about simply showing all the current day's appointments. Had a look around in the registry and found some parts referring to appointments in HKCU/system/state/appointments/list but changing the number didn't do anything.

Any ideas?

3.6inches doesn't say much when you can stretch the Lengh and Width. Can someone tell me in inches how wide and tall is the 3.6 inche screen? I want to compare it to my Touch Pro screen.

Reason is I use Pocket Informant and when in calender mode it be comes almost unreadable with the small text. But yet on my old Pocket PC which had VGA 3.5in screen, the calender was readable where I would see the date and times in the calender view.

My TP= 1 and 3/4in wide by 2 and 1/4in tall.

my LOOX= 2in wide by 2 and 3/4in tall.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Joe Pinball:
My TP2 screen is 1 and 7/8 inches wide by 3 and 7/8 inches tall

Joe
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] starstreak:
Hmm I wish it was a bit wider, but 1 and 7/8 is kinda close to 2inches.. I wonder if that's enough more to fit enough characters width wise to make it useable..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Joe Pinball:
Well your TP screen resolution is 480 x 640, my TP2 is 480 x 800, so in effect it's a taller screen with pretty much the same width & same resolution, I dont think you'll notice the missing 1/8 of an inch! :)

Joe
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] starstreak:
Well the 480 doesn't mean it's the same width. You could have a wider screen wit less pixel density. Which is why I wanted to know the exact screen size to measure. Yours is a little wider than mine. so I'm hoping the extra space will allow more characters to be filled on the calender screen. When reading left to right. I know up/down it'll have more space per date.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] starstreak:
http://www.sizeasy.com/page/size_comparison/25899-Tilt2-vs-Loox2-vs-TP2

I did a screen compare. Unless I'm totally off on the screen size. I hate conversion from "in" to "mm".

I can see why Pocket inoformant calender view was so readable on the Loox. And so small on the TP(It's not a TP2, It renamed it to TP2). The Tilt2 is large in height, but just a little wider than my TP. I wonder if this means my calander would look really tall?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
Can't you pull the info from the build.prop file?

determine if its cyanogen or not

split the version info at the decimal using the split method from the string class

convert each of the three numbers to an int using parseint

determine if the 1st one is > 4

if true

is the second one >= 1

if true

is the third one == 11

if false

is the third one >= 9

if true

update past 4.1.9 is possible

theres many ways you can do that but thatll probably give good compatibility

those methods are available in java, so they should work on android right? i havent looked at androids api

Dude, first off, congratulations on your recent purchase.

But...

1) This forum is for Touch Pro2 users only. They have different forums for a reason. You do not have a Touch Pro2 -- if anything, it's more related to a Topaz/Touch Diamond2.

2) Chances are since it is a new CDMA phone, they haven't even released a HardSPL for it. That's probably going to be your 1st recommended step before even customizing your ROM.

I'm not upset, just trying to protect you! Some of the users can be a bit snappy and degrading. :)

[G1 General] cigar3tte:
Go read the many stickies on rooting. You don't downgrade to Cupcake, you downgrade all the way back to RC29.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Your suggestion doesn't make any sense since there are plenty of devices that shipped with 1.5 (i.e. rogers dream), which happen to be quite incompatible with 1.0 firmware. It is therefore impossible to downgrade to rc29.

If you're *very lucky*, the bootloader you have won't enforce versions and might actually allow downgrading to 1.5, in which case the 1c-root procedure will work.
