This has me truly excited. I think low ram may be the cause to some of my HTC Music player lag. Does anyone else use the HTC Music Player? I'd like to hear some experiences from other people who use the phone as a music player with this ROM.

Major props to damage, yourself, and the whole boatload of amazing developers on here. I've been busy as of late and haven't been able to show as much appreciation as usual, but I did really want to say thanks for a solid, stable, daily rom with clear updates. Damage really came through 110% on his pledge to keep us in the know, for this I am extremely grateful!

Just a FYI for anyone having the facebook issue.. this is just temp because on reboot the aggressive memory settings return.

Download "MinFreeManager" (another poster posted this earlier)

Reset memory settings to default via MinFreeManager

Remove facebook for htc account in "Settings/Accounts"

Add facebook for htc account

All of my contacts synced up within minutes. I don't care so much for the constant updates of peoples status on facebook(i.e, I don't care you're studying for your test, or that your stomach hurts)...

The big thing for me is just the contacts syncing up in general(getting everyones birthday / etc), and the pictures as well.

Hope this helps someone.. this puzzled me last night

Back to Stock.

Well, after getting the endless boot loop from trying to install lwp.zip; I have gone back to the stock image. Guess I'll wait until the official update is released. That way hopefully my biggest problem with all these cooked ROMs will not be an issue (no Bluetooth in the car).

Damageless, you are a master at what you do. Thank you for the chance to see our phones doing some awesome things. Keep it up! :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziggy682:
This is true.

I posted weeks ago that the memory killer settings were causing all of the Facebook sync issues. Nobody seemed to listen to me at the time.

I have watched the logcat die repeatedly during Facebook syncing while using even moderately aggressive memory killer settings. However, change it back to stock, open up a logcat, and hit sync on HTC Facebook in the settings. It will finish in 2-3 minutes if you have 160 or so Facebook friends. It's pretty easy to watch as you will see all your contact names pop up in the logcat as it is syncing them.

On a side note. I believe the memory killer settings kill off Peep syncing too. My phone would often go 12 hours between syncs, even though it was set to update every hour. I changed back to the default memory killer settings (from the 1.5 ROMS) and Peep always updates every hour now.

Anyone else having problems with exchange email not showing up when using 2.07.2? I have the sync schedule set to as items arrive but since upgrading from 2.07 I am not getting the emails pushed to me anymore. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] baugher_power:
Mine works fine did you upgrade this from v2.3 or 2.5 and if you came from 2.3 did you wipe your phone first if not wipe you phone and redo email
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjodotcom:
I upgraded from 2.07 to 2.07.2 without a wipe, thats when I started noticing this issue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] baugher_power:
Did you try to reconfigure your email and in the settings did you see if some how email sync got shut off.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] damageless:
You need to WIPE.

As long as you wipe, you will be good to go!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aggie6600:
Try wiping and flashing again. First boot seems to average 5-6 minutes.

Been playing with it for about half an hour and I like it a lot. Fast and smooth (like DC1) and no issues so far. I do have a question though. It seems (to me at least) apps2sd still isn't working. I've installed a few apps. Using Estrong File Explorer I went to the /system/sd folder, but there was no app folder in it. I checked /system/app and I see the apps there. She the apps be going into /system/sd/app if apps2sd is functioning correctly?

Keyboard still lagging hard

Has anyone come up with a fix for the keyboard lag in 2.07.2? The compact QWERTY is tolerable, but the landscape one is so bad it borders on unuseable. :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Low RAM may have something to do with your player problem, but A2SD certainly isn't going to do anything about that, as it has nothing to do with the amount of available RAM on your phone.

I don't use the default player, and in fact remove it, as just about anything else works better than it does.

I also put the 2.05 minfree settings back, as I couldn't care less about Facebook and found the phone routinely running out of memory and activating the OOM killer with just the browser and a copy of Meridian running.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
Need some testers!!!

http://www.4shared.com/file/8j7J5_y6/update_signed.html

This is my new copy of a2sd with swap, dalvik-cache move, ring lag fix, zipalign on boot, proper e2fsck + other goodies. We need people testing & playing with switches so we can potentially get this ported to the main build asap. Settings are in a file /system/etc/dc.conf this lets you change a2sd parms. So far it takes

#dc.a2sd.active - disables all a2sd
#dc.a2sd.apps.active - 0 moves all files to /data/ - 1 moves to /sdcard/data/ can be controlled seperate from a2sd.active
#dc.a2sd.dalvikcache.active - 0 keeps files on /data/ - 1 moves to /sdcard/dalvik-cache
#dc.swap.active - 1 auto mounts sd card partition mmcblk0p3 for swapping. 0 keeeps it at mtdblock4
#dc.firstboot.active - check for firsboot script in /data/ on boot
#dc.zipalign.active - zipalign anything that needs it in /data/ on boot
#
#

Defaults are everything on except sd swaping. It does not hurt to leave stuff enabled if you dont have a2sd partitions setup it will skip as normal. So far i have tested disabling app.active & watching apps move off of sd card back to /data/ and vice versa, dalvik-cache enabling/disabling & swap. Its pretty cool you can choose to have just apps on phone & move dalvik, move both, whatever. A2sd should be more robust now fixing some of the boot hangs!! Flash over dc 2.07.2. First boot will take awhile before the boot animation will come up. This is normal (if you dont want to wait disable dc.firstboot.active to skip the permission check that takes up to 5 minutes first boot). Even if you disable firstboot you still will have to wait for dalvikvm to go throgh the dexopt steps because we wipe dalvik on upgrade. Just wait it out its only the first boot that will take awhile but youll thank me later. Let me know how this works, while your booting running an adb logcat always helps me out too if theres a problem

cmd
adb logcat >>C:\dcfortrev.txt
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
Treve, It's been working great so far!!

However, being new to a2sd there may be things I just don't know to check.

Let me know if you want any more specific info :D

*edit- The zipalign log was generated but I haven't done anything with it, do you want me to send it to you?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
Sweet- thanks again for testing last night nebenezer. what i sent you is alittle outdated now with these recent changes, /system/etc/dc.conf was spawned last night after i couldnt sleep & wanted to make the startup process alittle more customizable.

A zipalign log would be nice, just want to make sure its not rnning into some fruity errors.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
I read this as "Thanks again for last night" without the word testing in it.

Sorry, I couldn't help ROFL'ing out loud over this.

:D:D:D:D;)

EDIT:

Wow that took a long time to boot!

EDIT 2:

Wow, dramatic slow down. I guess its time to retire my 2 gb < class 2 card? How sad.

Anyone running a TopRam card?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
No problem dood, my pleasure (more for you to take out of context KC :D)

So should I dl the one you just posted and run it?

LOL, I bet.. funny stuff ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
haha. so booting will take a bit just the first time though. it rns a fix permissions script & rebuilds dalvik.

Im running a class6 card and dont notice a slowdown. You can move dalvik back to the phone by editing /system/etc/dc.conf

change the line to-

setprop dc.a2sd.dalvikcache.active 0;

reboot and it should do the rest.

Also some of us might have had swap enabled with the old script, i disabled it out of the box this time. Need to configure a few more parms to get it working better (will be in my final a2sd rls tonight hopeflly) If you have a c2 sd card probably dont want swapping anyway. (more here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Compcache)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
wow man, you are a genius.

I've been looking at your code, dc.conf sure makes it easy to adjust to our preferences!

thank you!!!

I am curious though, is there a specific reason you put those apps in there? was it to confirm proper functionality?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
Thanks, final will have a few more dc.conf options working on now. The extra apks were stuff i was trying to get damage to move out of /system to /data - maps & facebook just end up wasting space after updated. Also i put in wifitether / quickoffice just bc i use them
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
Cool, thanks.

If you use quickoffice then the purchase of docs-to-go is well worth the expense, IMO. I use it frequently for work, it rocks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Wotching:
I have tried out DamageControl v1.0 (that 100% lightening fast ROM) and DamageControl 2.07.2, and the latter is MASSIVELY slower. I don't know if I did something wrong in the install process or if I'm just imagining things, but DamageControl 1.0 is seriously superior to 2.07.2, and I don't understand why. Was one designed for functionality and the other designed for speed? Damageless seems pretty adamant on always emphasizing speed (which I love).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abcdfv:
Eris ROMs just seem faster then Sprint ROMs.

/system/init.d/gumbo.sh is no longer used. Everything is in /system/etc/dc.conf

Swapping should work properly now too. Just need to enable it in dc.conf and maybe play with swappiness setting. To tell if swaps working run 'free' under adb shell. Under the total column Swap should be > 0

#dc.a2sd.active - disables all a2sd
#dc.a2sd.apps.active - 0 moves all files to /data/ - 1 moves to /sdcard/data/ can be controlled seperate from a2sd.active
#dc.a2sd.dalvikcache.active - 0 keeps files on /data/ - 1 moves to /sdcard/dalvik-cache/
#
#dc.swap.active - 1 auto mounts sd card partition mmcblk0p3 for swapping. 0 keeeps it at mtdblock4
#dc.swap.swappiness - Range: 0 - 100, larger number = more likely to swap
#dc.firstboot.active - check for firsboot script in /data/ on boot
#dc.zipalign.active - zipalign anything that needs it in /data/ on boot

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ricky54326:
Might anyone know why I am not able to boot this? I tried completely wiping all data and then installing this ROM, and the device stays stuck at the white HTC screen. Anyone know why this is? I've tried just about everything, and although I am just starting to get into the Android scene, I am starting to get fairly proficient with how things work.. but still no dice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
TrevE,

I don't fully understand what all the changes mean that you made since the version I flashed last night but after flashing this most recent one my phone is running much better. Scrolling thru menus is much smoother, apps open faster, me likey.

Thanks man!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
Nope, it comes disabled by default. I made a config file /etc/dc.conf that lets you fine tune any of these options

:) glad you like. I noticed from your logs i didnt have data mounted for rw when i tried to zipalign so nothing happened. That def gives a bit of a "speed boost" by aligning the icon & space it sits in ram, although 1.6+ dev environment should do it already. I noticed in rosie when your scrolling through the app tray if you have a non zipaligned app it like freezes for as econd while it loads the icon. Same with switching homescreens.

I also disabled swapping by default. If you have a slower sd card or worry about it wearing out its not a good idea to enable anyway.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
You're not doing anything wrong. Whatever ROM you've flashed has support for apps2sd and you don't have an EXT partition on your sdcard. It's harmless.

As for not being able to find any information, I call bull.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
I have to ask why you care? /system is not /data. Is there something else you plan on using /system for that you need to save space in it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TrevE:
what is the point of having facebook in /system/ when you update it it downloads another copy to /data/. every time you boot packagemanager scans both apks. seems like a waste to me misewell keep one copy in /data/ makes things cleaner.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Myself, I think it should just be removed, and someone who wants it can install it out of the Market.

But that's just me.

just ran some memory benchmarks with & without swap on. I have a 16gb c6 card

Here is with a2sd app & dalvik moved and swap off

heres with a2sd app & dalvik moved with swap on & swappiness at 30

heres with a2sd app & dalvik moved with swap on & swappiness at 60

My guess is the lower swap is better with quick burst reads but when you swap moree and more out the card (or the bus) hits a limit a starts to choke. Went back down to 30 an result were right around 4.6 for copy mb again.

Trev, just wanted to say thanks, the updated a2sd is working MUCH better. I had a feeling that something wasn't quite as I remembered it from the 1.5 a2sd days, and this puts it right back in line with the way I remember it! I don't know how many others out there use their phones as their iPod as well, but I do, and the more space I can free up for the HTC Music player and Widget, the better EVERYTHING seems to run!

All of a sudden after a week of having this rom I got a com.htc.launcher FC error. I rebooted and now it comes up on boot repeatedly. I can't get in the phone. I am ready to try a new ROM at this point. Any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bernard_photography:

For a while, it seemed to fix the problem, however, again this morning I was not receiving any pushed email updates from my exchange server and can only get emails by doing a manual sync. Hrm, maybe this is what I get for not wiping before flashing? I thought from 2.06 on that wasn't supposed to be a problem?

On an unrelated note, I also noticed that I can no longer check for new updates via DC Updater, the task ends up timing out. Anyone else having this issue?

successful attempt at syncing facebook contacts

this might help some,.. I was only able to get contacts up to letter J for roughly 2 days.. never updated past that..

tried this

people > any contact > tabbed over to their albums > clicked link to fb profile >

I saw my contacts from A-J.. but nothing else.. this contacts name started with a S.. so, needless to say I couldn't link them because it wouldn't show me their name in the list..

What I did was kept scrolling up/down slowly and I noticed that the fb contacts started updating past J.. took roughly 2-3 hours, but it finally updated all the contacts..

Not sure why this worked but it took 2 days of it being stuck on A-J and then me just going into a list of fb contacts and scrolling a little for it to update..

see if that helps, hopefully it gets some of you out of the rutt of not having fb contacts synced properly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bernard_photography:
WOW, I was forced to wipe and re-flash. This time however I wiped the Dalvik-cache through adb (never done that in the past) along with the factory wipe. The rom feels at least twice as fast as I have ever experienced. Good to know I guess.
