Ok here is my 18hr update and questions: I'm on the full build, no kernal change, g1, 500 mb ext3, 32mb swap but did not enable in user.conf yet.

Rom has been working good, so I decided to add a few widgets. With widgets takes 10-15 secs to load, loading gone once they are removed. Just got my first freeze/reboot.

On the messeging app, if u use the keyboard and shut the screen just as u hit the send button fc eveytime, been doing that since 1.0, sorry forgot to report. Also sometimes my mess app says I have a new mess even though I checked it and its not in notifaction bar, no biggie.

Sdcard won't mount. It gives me the option, acts like it mounts, then imm unmounts.

All in all rom works great though...

First question, which kernal is in the full update so I know what I'm comparing the new ones too.

Second question what is the missed call app for, I uninstalled it and all my led's and sounds work fine.

Now update on the nfl app I spoke about earlier. It has to do with the build.prop. when I was on rogers rom nfl network worked, iv also heard it works on cm roms. So I remembered the market issue way back was fixed with that. I tried the build.prop from the sprint hero system dump, of course I got fc's, had to reboot, but finally got it to load. Of course no radio cause of cdma, but was able to connect wifi and test app and nfl network played great! I tried editing it to get the radio working, but no luck. I'm on call at work this week so I don't have much time, but ill try again tonight. Anyone that knows a little bit about this and wants to help shoot me a pm.

Thanks, and keep up the great work guys!
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
you're supposed to have 96MB linux-swap partition, it comes automatically enabled. Something tells me you have it setup worng.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Like Cyrowski said your swap should be 96. Change that. The full update is 300BFS w/o 10MB hack.

Missed call is for SMS and missed calls. Those two apks don't work for LEDs. Third party apps do.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You can set the swap to be the 2nd partition in the user.conf. Just set it to /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
[G1 Android Development] wicked_beav:
Yeah, I figured that as well. Also just a question, but in your opinion which kernel is working out the best, bfs 240, 300 w/ hack, or 300 w/o hack?
[G1 Android Development] KNEX81:
yo, how do i take off the lockscreen image and just have it transparent.....who'll b kind enuff to help me out. thx
[G1 Android Development] fastludeh22:
Ya I know, I had 32mb on here from and old rom I used to run, and was being lazy not reformating my sdcard. I guess I should fix that and retest before reporting any bugs, sorry guys. Ill fix that tonight and see what difference swap size makes for me.

Ill have to double check on the missed calls led's. My sms led works, but I'm assuming that's cause I have sms popup handling it.

I guess no one has any info on the build.prop/nfl app stuff? I guess ill try and fig out what is what and what I can change w/o causing issues.

Here's a side note. Is there a Launcher.apk that will work with this rom? In the past I have used that instead of rosie/sense for speed purposes since I'm not that big on widgets anyway. However I must admit some of the ones are here are pretty nice.

Thanks again for your hard work guys.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
how does this compare to hero over rom?:confused::confused:
[G1 Android Development] :
...

It compares very favorably. No one is a better judge than you are ;). There are plenty of others posting their experiences. You can use those to compare to your current experience if it's that important to you. The real advantage is the kernel choice offered by this ROM.
[G1 Android Development] mcarey66:
I've been running the full version since the night it came out and it is still running fast as hell. At first I had a couple Sense FC's following first boot. I thought that was it but I had it happen once or twice last night.

Besides that it is still working out great. The only other thing I noticed was the lag in waking up when hitting the power button. I tweaked the CPU scaling int he user.conf and it seems to fix that issues. I set the min to 384000 and put the threshold down to 35%.

Has anyone else been able to speed up wake up time by adjusting the CPU setting? I'm wondering if it's all in my mind or a real result.
[G1 Android Development] lehuukha:
Well i tried copying over the .apks to make it look default again from 1.1.1 and tried to get it to sign, but it didn't work.

Could someone possibly take the time to do this?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Yes, use the Launcher.apk that comes in the ROM.
[G1 Android Development] psjames:
I could not find Launcher.apk in this build and disabling Rosie.apk only caused the phone to not load. I had to find a theme that the Launcher.apk worked with. I would love to have had the Launcher.apk that came with the build. It is so fast with a default Launcher.

seeing loading screens after one day of use

i used bfs 300 and bfs 240

96mb linux-swap

could be my new sd card since i dont fully trust it. transcend class 6..my 2gig performed MLIGNS and hero_over better
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
First day went ok, so far I experience lags, loadings especially Browser -> Home on both BFS. Wake up is also an issue.
[G1 Android Development] redd12345:
Attn: Developers -- red's performance increase.

I've spent a lot of time working with the user.conf file and wanted to share some performance increases that I think will help everyone.

This performance increase only works on roms that have compcache WORKING and enabled (SenseHero 1.2, King Klick/Maxima, etc...)

First, I would recommend a 128mb ext4 partition. ext4 is the fastest and most stable because it offers the safety of journaling from ext3 and indexing for speed.

In your user.conf settings, you want to leave compcache enabled, but turn off the backing swap. Go down to your linux-swap partition and enable it and turn the swappiness to about 80. Go back up to your compcache settings and change cc_disksize to your partition (128mb in this case). Change your cc_memlimit to slightly less than your cc_disksize (120mb is fine). Your cc_swappiness can be up'd to about 60. You want to enable your virtual memory settings (I recommend the settings found in Jac-Ski's SenseHero). Enable your CPU settings and change the scaling_min_freq=384000. leave the max_freq at 528000 and keep the up_threshold around 35 to 40. If you followed the directions properly, your phone won't really need to step up a speed step unless you are doing a lot of multi-tasking.

The reason Compcache with linux-swap is better than backing-swap is because backing swap has an issue when you set your mem_limit higher than 50 percent of your cc_disksize, whereas linux-swap does not. Compcache is ideal because of the compression and it will use a lower amount of memory when swapping with the linux-swap partition.

I would venture to say that in this scenario, if you wanted to have a 512mb ext4 partition and enable 500mb of it, your phone would probably thank you. lol. Haven't tried it yet, but tempted.

Big shout-out to all developers and thank you for your hard work and beautiful themes! Without you, we would be eating doughnuts.

Red --

Rom : SenseHero v1.2 BFS-240

Compcache with 128mb linux-swap enabled

:D :D :D :D
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
why dont u upload ur user.conf
[G1 Android Development] redd12345:
Hey Brian.

I didn't want to post my user.conf because it pertains to the size of my partition (128mb). I figure that people can just edit their user.conf file as they please, and then move it to their /system/bin folder.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
Does this mean that instead of creating a linux-swap partition in the mmcblk0p3 slot, we should make a ext4 partition there instead? If we do that, do we need to make a swapfile on the partition?
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
i am actually having a hard time trying to understand your directions..since i nvr edited user.conf before...

if u can upload it would be greatly appreciated and i can make adjustments to my 96mb
[G1 Android Development] Brandice128:
Ummm I only got 42MBs, why?

I wiped everything and did everything correctly.
[G1 Android Development] redd12345:
Ext4 partition.

:o No no, please just follow this tutorial on manually partitioning your sd card

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534714

and then flash the rom of your choice that has compcache enabled. I recommend using "backup for root user's" free from the market to backup your apps that were downloaded and any sms messages.

Red.
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
i alrdy know how to partition my card and i alrdy use back up for root users .. i just dont understand ur user.conf directions
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
I think they are asking how you partition your sdcard. Do you use a swap partition for your setting? tell exactly how you setup your card.

Partition 1 - Fat32, Partition 2 500MB Ext4, Partition 3 - 128MB Linux-Swap or Ext4?
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
42mbs of what? RAM or internal memory

i am seeing low 40s of RAM left after using task panel to close all programs
[G1 Android Development] Brandice128:
42mbs of internal memory my friend :confused:
[G1 Android Development] :
I tried your recommendation for a 96MB linux-swap configuration. Switching between apps is faster. However, what I believe you have come across is only temporary. With a swappiness at 80, it is bound to slow down. How long did you test this configuration?
[G1 Android Development] gophergun:
Just ran into this problem, bit of a downer. IIRC, this problem was in JAC's original ROMs as well.
[G1 Android Development] the_chief-G1:
Thanks for your hard work!

But can you make it support JAVA? I need it.
[G1 Android Development] brian_v3ntura:
as in the java?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Because I moved some of the system apps to the data partition so that they would load faster. Free internal memory does you no good. It's like buying a pair of shoes and never wearing them.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
The library is in there. Just push Jbed.apk to the ROM.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Your settings will work for about 6 hours and then it will be slooooow.
[G1 Android Development] Chardodrifteer:
This rom is great i love the look but the lag time for the screen to light up kinda annoys me :(
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I have to say that Manups theme is everything that it has been hyped as being. There is one thing that I suggested that he change because it isnt' my style but this is literally a work of art. You guys are going to love it.

And I won't say anything about the ROM because you won't believe me if I told you the truth. You will have to see it with your own eyes to believe it.
[G1 Android Development] mcarey66:
Think I just creamed myself haha. I saw a few post back we might see it tonight, does that still stand?
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Yes it does I am adding the last few parts and we should be good to go tonight.

and just wanted to say love your alls work but why does it take so bleeping long for my sexy g1 to wake up, i guess its like me in the morning =)
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
Try us lol. so its crazy O.O
[G1 Android Development] redd12345:
Missing the point.

I have been running this for several days with nominal slow down. However, I am happy to take your advise and have changed my config to have the cc_swappiness and swappiness for linux-swap partition at 45. I have also changed my cc_mem_limit to 3/4 of the partition size (96 if using 128mb partition) just to be on the safe side with larger programs. The point of this is to take notice of the speed difference by using ext4 instead of ext2 or ext3 (especially since 3 is slower then 2 AND journaling is only used for dynamic drives and it's not like your sd card has to "spin down..." it's a static drive :rolleyes: ) as well as to notice the difference in speed when having your compcache point to the linux swap partition instead of using backing swap.

for those of you who want to use ext4 and want simple directions, please us aman ra's recovery to partition your card and then convert ext2 to ext3 in the same recovery. then you want to drop to console and type the following:

tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

reboot

please notice that the tune2fs line is hyphen capital "O" the letter and not zero. and on the e2fsck line it is a zero after the "DC" part.. just so there isn't any confusion. Shout outs to 51Dusty for his partition tutorial!!!

Guys, honestly I am not looking for a flame war, I am trying to contribute what I feel is a generally better user.conf file. If you have issues with it, at least try it for a few days and then post. Don't just tell me that you think it won't work.

I have included my updated user.conf file for people to push. Please change the extension from .txt to .conf . Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
That's not what I meant...

I currently have:

7.5GB FAT32

500MB Ext4

96MB Linux-swap.

And you seem to want to use a 128MB Ext4 as the swap partition. I'm asking if you are telling me to replace my linux swap with a 2ND ext4 partition and then make a swapfile on that partition in order for your config to work. Because right now, my user.conf is pointing to mmcblk0p3 as the swap partition and the only way that I know of to get the ext4 128MB swap partition that you're talking about is to remove linux-swap and then create a ext4 partiiton in that position and then create a swapfile on that for the swap to use.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
I think what Red is referring to is that ext4 allows CC to run faster... and that's why he's referring to the 2nd partition being ext4 instead of ext3. It sounds like linux-swap remains the same 3rd partition. Correct me if I'm wrong...
[G1 Android Development] redd12345:
Hope this helps.

No, I'm sorry to confuse you. What you have is fine. Your 500mb Ext4 partition is great and your 96MB linux-swap is more than adequate. I would use the user.conf file that I posted and change your cc settings so that 96 is the partition and the set_mem_limit=72 or there-abouts. Forgive me, I misunderstood your wording.

wth you guys babbling about? the only Orange i've ever seen for Hero is a themed orange over in the Dream themes thread. is there Hero UI, and also Orange UI somewhere? i've never seen Orange in action though.... i don't think??

EDIT*** hahaha okay got the orange setup part in the wizard >:P
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It's the Euro-Hero UI I think. It is an option but it doesn't work so don't select it. It will FC and give you the option to use launcher or Sense

[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
oh you've got to be EFFING kidding me. this thing is blazing out the gate! WOW~ ! and theme is proper! thank yoU!gonna let it set up and sync and then i MIGHT try the bfs304. not thats its late and such i might just let it roll with the kernel its got... when mike says the 304 is yay or nay then tomorrow i probably will go down the road less traveled :)
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Thanks to guys who have tried the build and like it,to my MT3G users 304 is not working yet but 300/10MB hack is working great so dont feel bad bro I am blazing I use this kernal all the time but cc will get the other going soon. I worked on this all day with my boys so ill test on the G1 with 304/10MB in the morning but I want to test now lol....I need sleep but ill watch for a while to see what people think. :cool:

Have you tried redownloading the file? It's possible that it is corrupted. If so, try the themed one just for testing purposes. If that one works maybe the file was corrupted when it was uploaded.
