SWAP Memlimit

I have a 96MB swap partition.

is there a way to limit it with code? like Memlimit of some sort?
[G1 Android Development] srivers33:
AHHHHH

Dont kno what to do guys, need sum help. tried readin this and 3 other 2.2 threads and no success.

Been runnin this one specifically for a few days, seems great but it has slowed so much i think ill have to go back to 2.1.

Calls almost never come through in time, going back home takes FOREVER, then once there swipping takes FOREVER.

Got a task manager and it shows like 13 apps tryin to run all the time for no reason. I kill them and they come back almost immediatly.

Now, i have JIT turned off, didnt see any improvement with it. Using Launcher pro.

Swap at 64

NOthing else i can figure to do. I havent used firerats patch but prolly wont, cant get fastboot to work on my pc to erase it if ever i need to.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

maybe is that the problem?? my battery keeps draining too fast. hope t can be fixed
[G1 Android Development] mkatx:
If you are using linux, try to remove the swap-partition and create a new (smaller) one (directly on your sd-card with a card reader). I used gparted, since i am using ubuntu.

My former partition was 128mb and Chromatic slowed down with a lot of lags. After reducing to 32mb it was - and still is - perfect.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
I'm deliberately using a 96MB Swap partition ;) Anything less and (larger) apps will not multitask at all. Example: using the Engadget app and watching a linked video will close the currently viewed article in the app itself, it will be reloaded.

When using a rather large (like your 96MB) Swap things will be able to run simultaneously. If you're a single-app-user a smaller Swap is indeed adviseable.

As I can't stand reloading apps I have to use 96MB on this Rom as well :cool:

Chromatic 4.5 is super fast but it kills browser when I'm trying to view bigger sites np. blog.eu.playstation.com it never happened in 4.4. Anyone having similar issues?
[G1 Android Development] he3:
Yes, it stroked on me when I went to di.fm. I have all default settings FYI.

im flash chromatic 4.5 and it say Mod version chromatic-4.4-DS chrome did you forget change it to 4.5?
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Yes. Its already been noted. It is 4.5

I haven't really had any issues with this rom, but I had an idea to run a log cat on boot up so I need someone to interpret the results of the logcat attached.
[G1 Android Development] BigFellor:
Thanks, I'll try it. What does wiping the battery stats actually do? And what is dalvik cache?
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalvik_(software)?wasRedirected=true

A rom can read the battery level wrong when coming from a different rom. Wiping the battery stats recalibrates the battery info.

Good luck!
[G1 Android Development] bcampos122:
Hello, I have been using Chromatic 4.2 without issue for the last couple of weeks. However, I have been having issues even booting into 4.5 (gets stuck at Mytouch 3g splash screen). I did a full wipe before flashing. Here is a copy of the logcat. I'm not really sure what to make of it.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] excepti0n:
I like this rom version 4.5 so far on my magic 32b... it's faster than CM 5 and CM 6. It's still not quit as smooth as stock though. Also, the gridlike icon for the application tray that sits between the phone and web buttons has disappeared. It still works, but that's gone.

It also takes an eternity to boot, but that's not a big drawback.
[G1 Android Development] fabolous02000:
Wifi doesn'tseem to work for me I keep getting an error and it woon turn on.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Wipe system, data, cache, and sd-ext and then reflash the rom.
[G1 Android Development] breezy169:
I flashed this rom nd couldn't get the market or YouTube. Did I miss a step? Or should have flashed somethin?
[G1 Android Development] Markus214:
Just recently purchased a MT3G 1.2 And noticed this ROM is compatible with it. What requirements are needed? I come from a G1 so i'm familiar with how to flash

Certain Radio and SPL needed?
[G1 Android Development] ilee36:
not at all... just get universal androot root and install rom manager with the clockwork recovery and back up just in case... wipe and flash this rom and your good
[G1 Android Development] Markus214:
Thanks for that answer what about for Sense based ROM's?

Is there a way to speed up rotating the phone? It really takes up to 20 seconds for it to follow.
[G1 Android Development] Bungholio:
Does anyone else seem to be having some serious trouble running this rom on a daily use basis?

On first boot after leaving for 8 mins the rom flies, but once ive installed a few apps and sent a text message or two the whole rom just slows down to the point where its unusable!

Even using a task killer only speeds it up for a minute or so, i dont know whats killing this Rom but im switching back to my 1.6 RoM until its sorted or something else comes out more stable.

Lovely looking rom tho :), pitty it kills my G1 :(
[G1 Android Development] HeinzEgger:
maybe you should try to use a smaller swap size.
[G1 Android Development] whywhy1:
Back to chrome....working really good.
[G1 Android Development] unk2009:
Need your help guys....I'm running Chromatic 4.5 Should I use CC, Swap or both how do I disable swap? Is there a Kernel to OC above 576 for this ROM ? Last but not least, is anyone having problems with search ? Thank you in advance for your help(I checked the forums regarding The Kernel question, but still learning so I wasn't sure what kernel to use, I almost inadvertently DL a 32A Kernel) As for the CC Vs Swap, again, I searched, I tried the commands on FR=patch but without luck) and last but not least, I haven't found any posts with search issue that I've experienced....Thanks again for your help, The XDA Community is amazing
[G1 Android Development] klaydze:
Hi,

I have little question. I flashed this rom on my G1 and works fine till i manage all my application to move to SD Card under Settings > Application. Then, i reboot my G1 and all my apps gone.

Is it usual that all my apps that i moved on my sd card will disappeared? is there a way to retrieve all my apps that i moved on my sdcard will STILL on my sdcard but it appear on my device?

Thanks and Regards,

klaydze

Oh just to update. All my apps appears already. Maybe i'm just a little to excited. :D

Thanks!!
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
All these folks having issues with this rom, please be thorough in explaining your situation. Did u wipe before flashing? Wipe dalvik cache/cache? Re-format sd before flashing (remember this rom has swap enabled by default, give yerself a swap partition)? JIT enabled? Compcache? Lock home in memory? Adw settings? These are a few of the many things to consider when explaining your issue. It is impossible to know why "wifi isn't working" without explaining how you got the rom going and how you have it set up. I am running this rom and it performs wonderfully. I'm astonished with its smoothness.
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
Unk,

Here's my setup and I've had absolutely no issues. My g1 runs better than my girlfriends mytouch slide!

512mb ext4 sd partition (for a2sd)

32 mb swap partition

Compcache off

Home locked in memory on

Setcpu 270 - 576 range

I believe to disable swap, you have to not have a swap partition. I use it though, with lots of success. I haven't had search issues (try deleting the widget and adding a new one, maybe? Wipe dalvik cache?), the only minor issue is that the market gets hung up on downloads sometimes for me. This has been an issue on cm-based roms for me since cm5.0.8, though wiping the market and market installer caches usually fixes it. Isn't chromer supposed to drop a 600mhz o/c version on the next release? Hope this helps!
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
This rom runs the firerat script at boot to move your apps to the sd in the old apps2sd method. This rom is not meant for u to use froyo2sd. Just be sure to have an ext partition on your sd, and in cm settings>application settings make sure "allow apps to install on sd" is checked. Leave install location to automatic. DO NOT manually move your apps to your sd card, just install apps like normal and when your internal memory becomes low from too many apps, reboot your phone. The rom will move what apps are necessary to the ext partition on boot. This is how the apps2sd works on this rom, search the thread, chromer explains it and is how I got this rom to run so amazing.
[G1 Android Development] Bungholio:
Swap

for those who wanted to mess about with their swap partition size or just try it without you can change them in terminal without wipes or booting into recovery.

In terminal type:

#su

#sh /system/etc/fr-patch138b.txt add swap

this will allow you to set swappiness and set a swap partition size.

Im currently trying swappiness of 40 and a 32mb swap partition.

If you want to remove your swap partition completely as in previous post just type in terminal:

#su

#sh /system/etc/fr-patch138b.txt rev swap

Dont forget to use fix_permissions in terminal also, dunno if it helps but i run it every time i flash a new rom just in case.

Gonna test this 32mb swap and see if its any faster.

:)

P.s If anyone finds a way of getting screen rotation to respond faster please let me know, its really annoying!
[G1 Android Development] excepti0n:
I love this rom but the battery life is really quite bad... are there any solutions for this?

I wiped, formatted, erased batt stats, put on setCPU with profiles, and even without any use of anything it drains the battery in 8 hours. Just a week ago with CM 4 I had 48 hours...
[G1 Android Development] Kadath82:
For me everythings works great with this rom,very amazing!
[G1 Android Development] _ice_:
my battery life improved -.-

my config

45% brightness

minimum text messaging

edge/ 3g on (for auto sync fb etc.. no browsing though)

245/576 set cpu ( I do not use profiles or underclock during sleep as underclocking causes "sleep of death" sometimes)

1-2 calls

Unplugged phone at 6:30 am, at 3pm I was down to only 88% compared to cm 4-5 usually went around 66%, 70% on RC version of 6, but after flashing the latest chromatic 4.5 (stable cm6) it actually improved.
[G1 Android Development] klaydze:
Hi,

Thanks for the info. I will try your suggestion. I manually move some of my apps in my sdcard. I noticed also that it became laggy... I'm flashing it now and update you soon.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] excepti0n:
My settings are even more restrictive, and I don't make it through a working day.

If I can't find a solution soon, Chromatic'll have to go. I need at least 24 hours out of a battery on standby.

Any suggestions for an alternative ROM?
[G1 Android Development] yeltnarb1987:
Usually love all the Chromatic ROMs, but this one drains the battery soooo fast, even on stand by, even with settings constricted...have to switch back to Cyanogenmod, until this is fixed....hopefully soon...

Also get random phone shutting off and reboots...CPU set below 500, so its not that...

other than that great ROM, hope these problems are fixed soon
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
This and cm6 have the exact same battery drain imo. Try recalibrating your battery.

Good luck!
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Thanks, but I was looking for a way to programmatically (made that word up?) change the value instead of having to reformat each time i want to tinker with a value.

Compcache can be limited with Memlimit... what about swap?

and for those wanting to suggest the firerat 138b patch, it only allows me to set size for a swapfile, not a partition.
[G1 Android Development] excepti0n:
I mentioned this was done before.

The battery usage is far worse than CM6 and Cm5, I've had both, there were no significant issues with battery usage with either of those (but plenty of other problems).
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
Maybe your battery is dead? Pull it out and see if it's swollen. I know lots of folks with dying batteries in their g1's. Its been 2 years so it's bound to die soon, inevitably. Also, maybe you can flash back to an older rom for a few days and check your battery then. Otherwise I don't know what to suggest outside buying a new battery. Seidio makes really nice extended life ones. I have the 2400mah one and can get 2.5 days running froyo.
[G1 Android Development] BigFellor:
they seem to offer a 2600mah and a 1400mah "slim" version. Do you have one of those?
[G1 Android Development] klaydze:
Hi,

Seems like app2ext on this rom dont work for my G1. I reboot my device many times but still i'm running low of internal memory. I have ext4 with a size of 535MB and a swap of 32mb.

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] trock62:
My daughter will be happy, I am going to install this on her G1

I get camera FC, tried to fix permissions without success.

Any info?

Running latest 4.5

Thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] klaydze:
Anyone who already tried the 3D gallery of this rom in G1? Because i cant figure out how to add your pictures which is on your sdcard to 3D gallery. I view picture in 3D gallery but you need to use the camera inside the 3D gallery.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
OC Kernel?

I've noticed some of the newest overclocked kernel's are very hard on the battery and a bit sluggish. You might try flashing the 2.6.34.6 kernel from Droid Basement at http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=1059. BUT....ALWAYS NANDROID FIRST!
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Im bizaccck..sorta

I am very aware of the battery drain issues...Dont know what to do. Feeling a little defeated, and will more than likely be moving back to a Donut based ROM soon. Froyo is not meant for our phones, nor will it ever perform as nice as Donut or Eclair. I dunno. I may just leave Froyo as is, and make an uber-fast uber-stable donut with as much as possible ported back to it....What features do you guys like from Froyo over Donut or Eclair?

On another note, I got an HD2, but will still be working on D/S ROMS since my wife still has one :)

EDIT: OH and I of course will be running Android on my HD2...none of that yucky WinMO garbage
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
But, but, but...wait...

Thanks for your loyalty! Tell your wife, "You go, girl!"

I hear your frustration, but before you throw in the towel, try Pershoot's 2.6.34.6 kernel. I'm running CM6 0908 nightly and flashed over kernel this morning. From 9am to 12:15p (3 hours), battery only went from 79% to 77% charge. With the newer kernel (and Dumfuq's OC) I could watch my battery disintegrate before me.
[G1 Android Development] v3dran:
I don't know why and how, but i don't have these battery issues on my Magic...first time, I wiped all and did have some issues with battery, was draining in 12 hours, and some issues with ROM itself, so i went back to 4.4...but i didn't really like it after using 4.5 :D, so flashed 4.5 again, but this time without wiping (didn't actually have reason for that, had none of apps installed), and now my battery easilly "pushes" :-) two days, without turning phone off during night, without profiles in SetCPU, screen brightness is max, allways about 8-10 widgets on screens...
[G1 Android Development] ad505:
Sorry, I meant 2600mah. Yea I have that one. I switch between the two though, because it makes my g1 a brick. I mainly use it when travelling, when I use gps a lot.
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
I'm using 4.5 since it came out and I had lag problems, but after disabling compache and swap my phone has been running great. But if you do go back, go back to eclair that oje was super stable just keep adding more stuff to it. I don't want to go back to donut.
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
Oh also my battery has been lasting 2 days. I use a mt3g
[G1 Android Development] andy442:
I dont know why you feel defeated, I've been using your latest Eclair since you put it out, and as far as I'm concerned it's among the best out there. I think you hit it right on the head when you said Froyo is not meant for the G1. I've tried a bunch of Froyo ROMs and none of them seem to work well for me. I think it is simply too much for the G1's CPU. As far as what features I would like to see in an Eclair ROM, I think that the DSP app and being able to change the LED color notifications would be cool. Anyway, thanks for all the work you do and keep cookin!
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Thank you chromersmith for all the work you have done for the g1. :cool:I do not think any other Eclair rom touches 3.9.1.1. And no Froyo rom comes close to 3.9.1.1. Hope too see more of your stuff in the future. Enjoy the hd2.
[G1 Android Development] he3:
Heh, my wife has the HD2 and I have the G1! (just put the energy rom on hers tonight) I'm holding out for a WP7, but your android roms have kept me happy!

I'm waiting to see how stable the energy rom is before trying the (buggy) android hd2 versions. I don't want to be her support desk, so please PM me about your HD2 experience!

What I like about froyo to port over is the avatar showing every time you text.. and new gmail and gtalk : )
[G1 Android Development] excepti0n:
Just to help out here for a bit.

I have a Magic 32b, with stock 1350 mAh battery

1) I've had about 40-48 hours consistently with most ROM's, unless I did something stupid, and I tried a LOT of roms in the past. Kept an Eclair Rom for a long time.

2) I always perform full wipe NAND+ext, wipe cahce, dalvik-cache, etc.

3) Started playing with phone again, Same with CM5, but CM6 was harder on the battery, but only by a margin. CM's were not so stable, app response so-so. So I switched to Chromatic 4.5

4) Chromatic 4.5 drained my battery, but performed better on all accounts. It's a beautiful ROM, and you should be proud of it.

5) I need the battery life as my job takes me on long days sometimes. Decided to switch to SpeedTeam Froyo 3.1.1, as it was supposed to be great with battery

6) Speed Team's instructions are to 'Wipe System', with a precaution that Amon Ra's recovery does not do this properly. This I had not seen before. The batch file they provided did not work, so I used the "fastboot erase system -w" method, that is supposed to work.

SpeedTeam's Froyo Rom has been running on my 32b flawlessly since then. It's the fastest rom I've used so far, and battery life is back to normal, perhaps even better. However, I do feel Chromatic 4.5 is much more polished, and would have liked to keep it. It is possible that this 'system wipe' strategy has something to do with the improved performance.

Another thing might be that News Reader thing that's standard on Chromatic. That probably doesn't help, being updated as often as it is.

To me Speed Team's rom has proved that Froyo can be run on a magic 32b without major drawbacks. I hope you can find the culprit and fix up Chromatic 4.5 to be the same. I would not be surprised if it was the system wipe issue. I won't be trying it myself as I've spent way too long on re-installing systems the last week, I really have to get back to work :(.
[G1 Android Development] klaydze:
Hi guys, can you help me on my little issue on this rom. When someone calls me it will not make any sounds on my G1. i already check all the settings of sounds but still no sound will hear when someone call. Please please anyone can help me to fixed this issue?

Battery

Kmobs said last night on the Android Show, that battery is way better on the newer nighties. I will take a gander and see whats up. :)
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
Hell Yeah Chromer!:D
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
It does sound like they have hit on a combination that may be good. The crowd seems to thinks the 3rd nightly on 9/9 + Pershoots .6 kernel is a winner. I hope you'll have some time to play with it.
[G1 Android Development] patriot1973:
I took your advice and flashed this kernel. So far, so good. Might just be placebo, but 4.5 feels snappier! Battery seems to be a little bit better as well. Thanks for that!
[G1 Android Development] CoolWheelChair:
but if anything, you should do a revamp of ur last eclair rom.

add a lil froyoniss and make a vanilla version :D
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:

[G1 Android Development] xploder270:
You should remove 'sh /system/etc/fr-patch138b.txt swap' from 21ChromerScript, as it just loops in syntax error.
[G1 Android Development] ReTro FuZe:
the "fastboot erase system -w" is driving me crazy...i can't get it to work..adb is set up right and everything because i've tested it out with everything else, but THAT one thing doesn't work...im running a mt3g....idk what to do...please help me out...it STAYS at "erasing 'system...'" and thats it -___-
[G1 Android Development] 1024k:
Thanks, removing swap make the phone finally flying!
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
i did it last week too and it has been amazing too, everyone should just turn off swap and they will see the difference.
[G1 Android Development] Guitoux:
And what about multitasking ?

Is there enough ram memory to keep some applications in background ?
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Nope. Nothing. Leave one app only temporarily and it gets closed immediately. Without Swap it's a single-task-Rom. Nothing for me, YMMV ;)
[G1 Android Development] pepone1234:
Are you able to install the new google street view app?

When I try this, the market gives me an error saying that the aplication is not correctly signed.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Both of you now have ZERO multi tasking. That's the point of the Android OS.

Oh and your phone will slow down far more often than one that has a swap partition enabled.
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
i dont care for the time being, i wont use swap until chromer releases another version. i havent rebooted my phone in a week and it's still fast, im happy with that for now.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Really...haven't rebooted in a week? I'll believe that when I see it. :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] ReTro FuZe:
OK, guyz...since i couldn't use ADB to format and erase everything on my phone, i thought outside the box and:

1. downloaded htcclay's superfast 1.6 rom

2. i had this rom in my SD card already

3. wiped everything from recovery

4. flashed the 1.6 rom and when it booted up, i went to setting and went to the storage menu and formatted it through there and erased everything!!!

5. then i went to recovery again and flashed Chromatic 4.5, and now my phone is WAAAAAYYY better...i still havent even used setcpu...it feels smooth and soo accurate =)

i'm about to check on the battery today...i'll let you guys know
[G1 Android Development] excepti0n:
I have also reflashed Chromatic 4.5 after my previous post about wiping the system.

The battery is now holding strong! (at 75% after 8 hours)

This means that wiping the system properly makes a big difference. i think taking that up in the instructions for installing this rom might help improve battery life (and responsiveness) for all users.

I have wiped the system using fastboot when the phone was in fastboot mode, not while it's running any OS. Perhaps that was why it worked well?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
You do know that you can just flash a small 4kb file to wipe system, data and cache right? Here I uploaded it to mediafire.
