proxy settings

Just wondering if there is any way with this Tom to set a webproxy for the browser I really need one and think how useful it would be with connectbot. I'm downloading the Tom and I will see if there is anyway of setting a proxy.

I cooked my rom under win7 home edition.

No problem for that.

1 important (for me) thing that doesn't work :

When I plug the phone in USB to synchronise with outlook.

I don't have the choice for synchronising : there is just the mount SDcard item that appears on the phone screen.

No way to get back my contacts from outlook.

Another small thing : I tried animated backgrounds : A lot of them works for me.

But I can't refound the original background "ckdroid", I just hav the choice between the classical Android background (dogs, women..)

All in way, it's a great job !

ROM Baked

Baked a ROM this morning as I was bored in work, everything worked when baking and the ROM is very fast, got a FC on the Overclock Widget, some of the facebook contacts syncd to different contact.

Overall a very steady ROM, certainly love the way you can use your own machine to bake your own custom ROM, excellent work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] me.b:
I've cooked the rom, no problems.

I've flashed the rom, no problems.

Apps i've been testing so far without problems:

Compass

APNDroid

Dolphin Browser

Maps

Maps navigation (works fine but quite slow GPS lock aprox 2 minutes outdoor)

Googles

Wireless Tether

Gmail

Apps with problems:

Gallery (still rotate bug)

Handcent (crash when i try to add a group of contacts)

I upgraded from 1.5.2.1 with no wipe and uses the recommended radio.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeren:
the menu that appear when u plug in ur phone...i.e the option to sync with outlook is not an option of the vanilla rom. it was an extra setting implemented in htc sense.

why dont u sync your contacts with ur gmail account. It is easier, safer and quicker.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] EbiEre:
OK here are my impressions after a use of a couple of hours.

The Rom is really stable, i only had one FC for Meebo IM.

Some Problems i had:

Can't turn off Mobile Network

After opening the clock in apps, my hero was very very slow, after killing it with task killer the speed was normal again.

Don't know if it is a ROm problem, but the buzzer didn't ring this morning.

Over all it is a little bit laggy if i scrool the Homescreens or the App Windows.

Thats what i have to say, i hope you understand my english ;)

Cheers,

Ebi

Baking issue

Hi there,

Bring on the Beta 2 ! YEAH!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oldskool73:
Hi, have you tested this and it works? It's just that I wrote the minfreemanager app linked from that thread for setting these values, and I've had code in there all along (commented out for now) that does exactly what your zip does, but neither my code nor applying your zip seems to actually work, when you reboot the values in the minfree file are still the Android defaults, even though the init file is there in /system/etc/init.d and appears fine?

(By the way I've renamed the ini.d file I save there to match yours, so my app can work along with your settings when we get this working).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
I'm not sure if i understood fine, you wrote an app (android .apk app?) that changes these values and it doesn't work, right?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oldskool73:
Yup, kind of, I'll try to be clear...

I wrote the MinFreeManager.apk you can find in the marketplace or in that thread referenced above about changing the minfree values.

What my app does is write to the :

/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

file to set the minfree memory limits to whatever you want.

I want my app to be able to auto set these values on a reboot, but and tried to do exactly the same thing you have done in the zip you added to the first page, ie. write a script in /system/etc/init.d/ (as you have done with 98autotaskkill) that is just...

#!/system/bin/sh

echo "my_own_memory_vales" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

...but when I do this and reboot the custom values are not applied, the /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree file contains the default values again.

So I tried installing your zip and the same thing happens, it does not work and is back to default after a reboot even though the file your zip adds is at /system/etc/init.d/98autotaskkill and looks correct.

So, are you sure this rom (which I'm using on my G2) is running the scripts in init.d correctly?

Is your minfree zip really working for you (or anyone else) and are you sure it's using the new values after a reboot? (Maybe it's just my phone being odd?)

Cheers.

I´ve noticed a very unstable reception of SMS on this beta. Is this a known issue?Not sure if Chomp has anything to do with it but I disabled native SMS notification and no SMS came through that I sent to myself from another phone. Then enabled notification in native and 6 SMS came with both notifications native/chomp.

When´s beta 2 released Exit? Sure that would fix it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
To be honest i didn't test that script cause my adsl connection is not working and i'm using phone as modem :(

Anyway if you can confirm that's not working a way to fix this is to create a service in init.rc file stored in boot:

I didn't touched sms releated files so it's not normal, try reflashing the rom without wiping
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nuumuun:
i am running the ckdroid rom right now (1.6 baked)

i wrote my own script and put it in /system/etc/init.d but i had to fiddle around some to get it working.

my script:

#!/system/bin/sh

echo "1536,2048,4096,5120,15360,23040" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree ;

notice the semicolon at the end of the line and the empty line at the end.

also i had to make sure the file was in unix format (i am editing it with notepad++ on windows 7) before pushing it to init.d

this is what i did to put it on my hero:

adb remount
adb push 98minfree /system/etc/init.d/
adb shell chmod 750 /system/etc/init.d/98minfree
adb shell chown root.shell /system/etc/init.d/98minfree

i did the chmod and chown to look like the other files in there just to be safe. i don't know how important that is.

that's all for now ... i hope i was able to help in any way :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Can you confirm that is working?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nuumuun:
i thought i just did ... or do you need a screenshot or some such? :confused:

it is working for me :D

> adb remount
remount succeeded

> adb shell
# cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
cat /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
1536,2048,4096,5120,15360,23040
#
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oldskool73:
yay, confirmation from me too, nice work nuumuun, it appears to be the permissions that fix it, specifically the 750 allowing execution (didn't need to chown), makes sense really :)

look out for a new version of my app dropping in the market place in around 5 minutes, gotta love that over the app store process!

Exit93 - I guess you'll want to add this to fix your script. Could you possibly change the name of your init.d file to 98minfree, that way your script and my app can both be working with the same init.d file and avoid odd startup conflicts... and it's a much easier name to type than 98autotaskkill :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Andro1d:
How did you find the best lowmem params ?

1536,2048,4096,5120,15360,23040

Means (in MB):

6M,8M,16M,20M,60M,90M

FOREGROUND_APP, killed @6MB free

VISIBLE_APP, killed @8MB free

SECONDARY_SERVER, killed @16MB free

HIDDEN_APP_MIN, killed @20MB free

CONTENT_PROVIDER, killed @60MB free

EMPTY_APP, killed @90MB free

Someone verified those params ? Testet the impact on a Hero ?

Can anybody tell me how to activate spellingcorrection for my own language? I tried more locales but it didn't seem to make any difference.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 123belly:
Oldskool and Exit.

These might be silly questions but is there a need for a return to defaults option in the app.

Also when running this app do you think theres still a need for the overclocking app?

And finally where will i see the effects the most of this app. When opening app after app or in day to day use?

Excellent work both and pop around for coffee sometime lol
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tweedeldee:
@123belly :

I agree for the default values, it can be usefull even if the phone restart with default values.

This app mean is to configure Android so that the number of apps running in backgrond stay really low.

The effect is the same than killing apps with TaskKiller or AdvancedTaskManager, but without the overhead of using a whole app.

Overclocking app is increasing the processor speed, with a little risk of heating the phone too much.

Both apps are affecting different parameters to achieve the same result : increasing the speed of the phone, and can be used at the same time.

You can use both, but whether you need to use both depends on your feelings.

I'd say in both case. (except if you plan on switch on the same 6 apps every seconds, in this case you might loose a little response time)

@Andro1d :

The settings were defined by both logical reasoning on the specs of the phone and try-and-fail.

Of course, everybody doesn't agree on thoses specifics settings :D

Have a look on the topic I linked here earlier for more details.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pcs333:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Andro1d:

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oldskool73:
Hey everyone,

Exit93 - I'd be happy for you to add my app to your distribution, I think this might be a good idea if you are going to change these values in your rom, as not everyone agrees with the values you are setting and people should be able to adjust this as they feel works best for them. (just need to be sure you are writing to the 98minfree file so our settings aren't conflicting too).

123belly -

>>These might be silly questions but is there a need for a return to defaults option in the app.

it's already in the app, menu->presets->default (then apply) will return you to stock settings.

>>And finally where will i see the effects the most of this app. When opening app after app or in day to day use?

Depends on your settings and requirements, e.g. if you use a lot of apps at once you might want to set the 'hidden app' value lower, to allow them to stay in memory longer, if you want to keep memory as clean as possible you might want to set 'empty apps' value much higher to clean them out sooner, up to you. Have a look at the first post here for a rundown of what the options mean...

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Exit93:
Ok, i'll include this
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oldskool73:

Back on the topic of this thread, CKDroid1.6 is working really nicely and I've found a few nice free live wallpapers that work well on it in the marketplace...

Bezier live wallpaper - looks a bit like the ps3 home screen, can be a bit slow with blur on but plenty of settings to play with. Works perfectly for me on CKDroid1.6

Digital Rain - matrix effect, there's 2 of them in the market, try them both, the *other* one is much nicer than the one included by default with CKDroid and works perfectly for me.

EarthRot - rotating planets, works perfectly

Seismo - graph from accelerometers, works perfectly

2. problem with camera... it causes FC or maximum 1 photo (however it does not save it)

ps: I didn't bake the ROM by myself, I use yours (already baked)

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Branwen:
[do at your own risk, nandroid backup first]

Just thought I would point out, if you want to change anything in the Rom which is not on the tickboxes, you can open up the base zip, modify that, and then when the script makes the new rom, the changes should be incorporated.

So, I've removed market enabler, mms (I use handcent instead) and email, and added Meltus' audio hacks. Going to play around with optimising the .pngs also, see if that helps.

It worked for me :)

Using HTC_IME with modeified prefs file to have two input languages. Once a day while entering text, Hero freezes and reboots.

Also notices some misalignment in Google search widget. It sometimes moves higher on screen, and i cant input anything in it.

Hi I'd thought I'd give this ROM a try, I tried to bake a ROM initially and then tried CKDroid default ROM, neither led to success.:(

You can backup all your apps using appcontrol (from market) or similar and then including them in rom with kitchen or reinstalling them manually

Wipe is really necessary if you are coming froma different rom so this is the only solution

ext4 isn't compatble, you need to repartition your sdcard in ext2/3

Rename a CKDroid.zip

Download the program to the kitchen

Run the kitchen

Once I give Bake, I choose the beta 2 renamed CKDroid.zip

Once you have created, I will leave the DOS window for signs

When the process finishes save the rom I cooked with the name "Custom-CKDroid-Signed.zip"

Now I can flash this rom.

Steps are correct?
