I've enabled compcache before, and didn't notice a thing. Applications just take too long to start, and simple things like changing settings are also delay.

I'm actually thinking of switching to AT&T, and now I'm having second thoughts. Canceling your subscription from them in the future will cost $300+. T-Mobile has a terrible selection of phones, as I want an Android with a hardware keyboard. Plus, T-Mobile sucks my balls. To upgrade will cost me as much as buying it without the upgrade benefit. Their service is also horrible.

That $300 disconnection fee is criminal. I'd like to continue to be able to switch between AT&T and T-Mobile to get the best deals. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
Have you tried compcache with hit enabled I think if you read more through the link I posted it says it slows it down
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Dukenukemx:
None of that is enabled. No cc with it. It's a noticeable delay, but not entirely unusable.

So, I can't get this to work with Polymod's 2.1delta. Once I load all the files and reboot, almost every app force closes. If anyone got this working with Polymod's build, would they mind uploading the modified files as an androidupdate.tar?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] modest_mandroid:
Getting the same problem with polymod's 2.1g+updates. Did everything as instructed, including clearing the cache on reboot. The OS basically grinds to a halt with force-closes until you log back in with adb and restore the old vm.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Jus10o:
Glad my instructions worked for yall.

Like you all have already figured out, the commands were for the htc hero, more specific cdma hero. So you had to change up commands a bit.

Also on the cdma hero forums its kinda the "standard" way to install the android-sdk in c:/android-sdk/tools folder or similar. So its why I pulled the files there. I actually changed the place it pulls to in my main post on cdma hero forum.

Let me know if anyone might need help.

Also (not saying any are) if the rom isnt deodexed then it most likely wont run JIT. Like our cdma hero 2.1 official release, we couldnt enable JIT on it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mt1976:
I had the same problems. Maybe someone can write a manual for polymod 2.1. This would be great.

And I have it on Nand and i have all updates for polymod 2.1 installed (WiFi Power Level, Full Market update, latest Kernel with working GPS from 2010-05-20).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
I tried running this on 2.1d and 2.1g It runs but the system becomes very unstable so far misons build is running pretty stable it has its moments from time to time though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mt1976:
Thanks for the information. I have done it in this way:

New installation from polymod 2.1 with all updates.

Then I started with Jit:

First I put all files on the sdcard with the 2 folders.

Add the following line to the end of the build.prop:

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system

cd /sdcard/jit/bin

cp -f dalvikvm /system/bin/

busybox chmod 755 /system/bin/dalvikvm

cd /sdcard/jit

cp -f libdvm.so /system/lib/

cp -f libnativehelper.so /system/lib/

cat build.prop >/system/build.prop

chmod 644 /system/lib/libdvm.so

chmod 644 /system/lib/libnativehelper.so

chmod 666 /system/build.prop

sync

shutdown

Then I made a reboot and I hold dpad and I clear the dalvik cache. But I got only system errors and nothing works when the boot process was finished.

Did I make a mistake?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Jus10o:
Double check your build.prop and see if it actually added the line to the end.

I changed the command in the main thread just in case that command wasnt working.

Or instead of putting it back on your sdcard and copying it over. Try to push to /system/

adb push build.prop /system/
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mt1976:
Thanks, I have checked the "last line" from the build.prop on the sdcard in the folder "jit":

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit

I think it is correct. Is there a way to make a "full backup" from my polymod installation because it takes always a long time to make all settings after a new installation?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
Go into the installer menu by hold dpad center on boot as usual scroll down through the list and select backup data this should backup all user settings and accounts, This will take up 256mb on sdcard located in your andboot folder(do not modify name or move it) Then when you need to you can restore data from the same menu later and it will bring it back to the way it was when you backed it up.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
Instead of this

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system

try using this its easier to type in and works on our devices

mount -o remount,rw /system

or better yet most devs have been including scripts so an even easier solution

rwsystem (if its included)

You can double check build.prop after it has been copied back to /system by pulling back to your PC, open it up and make sure it has added line included.

I would recommend trying the push method with your build.prop
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mt1976:
Ok, I have done the install from JIT again after a backup.

All inputs were ok. But I used the app "ConnectBot" with "local" and "localhost" for the input because it is easier for me with the "on screen keyboard".

After the sync I wrote shutdown, but then the system hangs and after 30 sec - 1 minute I put the battery out because it doesn't do the reboot. And after the reboot I cleared the dalvik cache and after this I got some error messages during the boot process and when it finished the boot process, all processes have errors and the phone reboots again and again.

Maybe when I put the battery out after the last line "shutdown", the system was not ready with something. Could this be the reason for the error messages?

What does the "sync" do? Does this take a long time?

Now I switched back to the backup and all works great :-)

I saved a lot of time. Thanks for this great information

Maybe someone can make a full package from polymod 2.1g with all updates and JIT enabled? This would be really great.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
Have you tried any of the other builds Not knocking on Poly because his build is great but incubus and misons are faster out of the box. I have not used incubus build but it seems to be thwe fastest by the one benchmark posted. And this works,

Not real sure what sync does Im sure it does something though. It scrolls through a couple lines then the shutdown command will scroll through a couple things and then shutdown, maybe your problem is the use of connect bot, you might be having some connection issues through the software and what keyboard problems are you having. Using adb shell on the desktop works flawlessly for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mt1976:
Ok, I made the same process again with the "adb shell" and I used

mount -o remount,rw /system

but it doesn't work and i had the same problems again after the complete process.

But thanks for your help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
No problem, after using it for a while and then going back there really isn't much increase in anything to fret over this much problems. Its anticipated that froyo will speed things up but I still hold my reservations. I dont think things on our phones are going to get much faster than cupcake which here lately I have contemplated going back to.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Jus10o:
The sync line isnt really important. I just left it in for safe measures.

When i do my reboot command its already remounting and syncing everything.

Also like the guy above stated, its not gunna make a very noticeable increase until froyo is released. JIT is compiled in the whole framework of froyo and its not some random beta/test version of JIT we have now, its a real official release. Also apps for 2.2 we be compiled with JIT so apps with run faster and utilize the JIT dalvik.

If i had this phone or knew anything about it, i would look into getting it to work with the rom poly or whatever. But its sorta hard not being able to test anything first hand.

modifying build.prop

Do you have to do this by pulling from the ADB or is that only if you don't want to have to reinstall Android?

I extracted the androidinstall.tar and put all the files from the referenced post in place and made the necessary changes to the build.prop (as well as change the model from G1 to Kaiser :D ), then tar'd it back up and it installed fine.

I need a way to confirm JIT is actually working but it the install seems to be working with all the extra stuff. Any thoughts on this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
under adb shell typen in this

su

dalvikvm -h

on the last line it should say somewhere with_jit apparently this tells you jit is enable

download linpack for android from the market and run the test your mflop benchmark should run in the neighborhood of 3.0 to 3.5

this info is from the link posted that I cannot use
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Dukenukemx:
My experience with JIT hasn't been great. Though honestly, most eclair builds aren't great to begin with. For example, Mssmison's test 3 likes to switch to the start up animation as if the phone is resetting. Incubus26Jc's Super Eclair runs iGO extremely slowly, even before JIT. In Mssmision's test 3, I ran Nesoid, Gensoid, and Snesoid with poor performance, even with JIT. Kwaak3, the Quake 3 port to Android didn't even run with JIT enabled. The one application I expected to get a benefit.

Yet, Myn's Donut ran those emulators faster, and Kwaak3 actually ran. I figure Polymods Eclair builds are the best in performance and compatibility, and will be usable with JIT.

People here have to also remember that MFLOPS are a measurement for FPU, that's mostly used in 3D. Unless you run a lot of 3D apps, you probably won't see a benefit with JIT. That's why I tried to run Kwaak3, to see if the performance is better.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] techjeep:
Ok, it shows that JIT is enabled. So I you don't want to use the ADB, just unpack the androidinstall.tar and make the changes with notepad in windows.

If anyone wants to host the tar I made that enables JIT, let me know. It's not an update.tar, it's a full wipe and reinstall tar.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Dukenukemx:
I disagree. Most newer phones are in a pathetic state of development. Some newer phones aren't even unlocked, and other phones don't even have a Android port working. For example, I don't see a Android forum for the HD2. Not to forget that most newer phones are still running with the 528Mhz Qualcomm chip. Snapdragon is worth the upgrade, but not these 528Mhz chips.

Developers are slowly moving to newer devices, and they're spreading thin as there is more choices in devices. I'm not saying don't upgrade your phone, but I'm certainly not in a hurry. Android snapdragon hardware keyboard. I'm not settling for anything less.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] garringm:
This is true as I have perused through most of the boards but it's still all a matter of preference. Most of our developement anymore comes from the vogue threads and as you see as well as me its getting thin over their too. Most of our devices are old and cant hold up anymore granted they have probly been some of the most versatile devices on xda.

I personally plan to upgrade by the end of summer and as of right now I have my eyes set on the N1 and I am also the kind of person not to tinker with the phone until it is actually out of warranty so by then it should get real interesting to see what kind of devices and devlopement is going on by then. I am by no means trying to belittle or talk down to anyone else who decides not to do what I do.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Jus10o:
I never knew this phone even existed :/

The n1 is nice, and they have a huge community. Even when some of the newer phones hit the market, it will still have a big backing to it.

But im on sprint, so its all about the Evo. Which i read already has root, and its a couple weeks from release.

Also on topic, im glad others are getting JIT enabled.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Dukenukemx:
I never touched Sprint or Verizon cause they use CDMA. I like GSM phones because I like knowing that I can switch phone companies. Well, I can switch between T-Mobile and AT&T. :D Plus, when I visit other countries, I can just pull out my sim chip with one of theirs.

I don't know how CDMA works. Can you own a Verizon phone and use it with Sprint and vice versa? Aren't these phones useless when you visit other countries, which primarily use GSM?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aniteshj:
So what's a better buy, since I am confused and conflicted as to what to get.

Motorola Milestone or Nexus One/Desire?

I actually have no clue, its confusing to think which one and every time I think I decide I go back to the middle.

And I know that for the Nexus One, this website has one strong modding front behind it, but I have no idea where, if any, modding movement exists for the Droid, since I haven't found anything on this forum.

What are your thoughts on it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zippa71385:
I personally have the N1 and also have T-mobiles "droids" aka cliqs... Htc is far better when it comes to hardware. I suggest the N1!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dextroz:
In my experience - if I want to get google/android updates ASAP I would only go with whatever google choses to sleep with (stock i.e. without any skin)

For GSM that would be the Nexus One.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aniteshj:
Aha no Droid love? Is there a site dedicated to Droid mods like this has a section for Nexus development as well?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zippa71385:
nope, moto is lacking in the game... plus nexus isnt a branded phone... its a HTC/GOOGLE not a T-mobile/AT&T/Sprint/V-word phone that should be enough to go by in your choice...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sporkisfaster:
I'm also kind of in a boat like this one. I have a G1 and desperately want to upgrade. I'm considering the EVO since Austin has a 4G tower here. The prices and plans are attractive too. The one thing holding me back however is the hotspot feature in froyo. Sprint will almost certainly cut this feature out of the froyo update for the EVO since they want to charge 30 bucks a month to use that. I'm wondering if there will be a version of froyo from cyanogen (or the many other developers out there) for the evo to circumvent this (not to mention to get rid of the Sense UI).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aniteshj:
This isn't any easier a decision to make now aha.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nokuta:
I vote for Motorola milestone :)

considering its hardware keyboard
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stooby:
I have a Milestone and the hardware keyboard is useful, but I don't like the way Motorola have locked down the bootloader.

That means that even when rooted, we are limited in what can be hacked about!

I will be getting rid of the Milestone and getting a Desire soon if that tells you anything.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Szadzik:
If you do not have any need for a hardware keyboard N1 will be better beause of the faster CPU.

If you like hardware keyboards like me you will forget about N1.

There are quite a few forums with support for the Droid/ Milestone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ady:
Depends on the kind of work you want to do. If all you want is a shiny super modded device with great screen contrast (excluding touchscreen response) and speed and early updates, get Nexus One.

If you need to do a lot of typing and/or need better screen response, get Milestone.

While milestone doesn't have a dedicated community behind it, doing lots of rom porting, most of the useful N1 mods work on it. Also, it is a very solid and well built phone. The build quality compared to nexus one is equally good, if not better. You can also get it overclocked to about 1.2GHz which makes it run superfast, if you are worried about speed.

Can someone tell me how to change or remove the Launcher and Contacts color icons from SPB mobile shell?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyborg_001:
Hi guys,

I'm on 2.1 Stock ROM, no taskkillers etc.

My homescreen is completely frozen as I type now and I can't open the apps menu (the app drawer with 3D conveyor belt effects) or slide to any other homescreen whether i lock/unlock the screen as many times i want!

On touching any homescreen icon absolutely unrelated apps are launching, eg, on touching messaging icon the stock camera launches (whose icon is on a different homescreen!)...on touching market icon...color flashlight launches (icon not on any homescreen...straight in app menu/drawer) etc etc! So cant launch maps or anything. 8 icons on homescreen and remaining space is taken by weather widget donation HTC style clock.

Wait a min...a call just came through fine and I could answer it...after hanging up I could touch all home screen icons and they were working but then suddenly my entire home screen rotated and went to landscape mode! Like all home menu icons, weather clock etc are in landscape/vertical direction and not alined/fitted to the entire screen...as in the ends of icons are cut off as the whole page looks magnified cos its obv not intended to be like that. Landscape orientation is not supported or needed on homescreens/app menu etc on the N1. Why is this happening (never came across this orientation change issues in any forums inc. xda) :confused:, why the hang?! Weird things regarding touch sensitivity and screen behaviour etc keep happening from time to time but I know about all that screen, touch sensor make and quality issues etc etc.

Also, I've noticed that everytime after a restart my phone takes atleast 20 mins to half hour plus to get everything working snappily and respond at full speed, eg, till then homescreen transitions are not smooth, all gallery pics dont load up to show for a long while (16 gig class 2 sandisk card). Is this normal? :mad:

Sometimes after switching to 3G my 3G watchdog (mobile data transfer measurement app) doesn't auto launch (app issue maybe?) and sometimes no mater how many times I choose wifi ON, it doesn't turn on! Switching it off from power control widget (i.e., 3G on) and then on again doesn't turn on wifi either even when good signal on my laptop!

Earlier today my phone was lying on the desk and it auto-restarted god knows why! The phone freeze happened like 10-11 hours after the restart today afternoon so memory etc wasn't so full or too many apps launched. The home screen rotation orientation has changed before in the past too so not first time to be clear.

I have still more than 80 mb app memory free in internal memory and dont overload my phone with crappy apps etc etc.

Pls advice and discuss.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrandroid:
I know you're on a stock rom now, but have you previously unlocked the bootloader and flashed anything else like recoveries, roms, etc?

If you have and you just reverted back to a stock rom, you could've downloaded a bad rom.

Have you dropped your phone? banged it around a bit?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyborg_001:
Nope...none of those...fresh as a daisy!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrandroid:
Ok, well 2 options...

Option #1 - Return your phone for a new one if it's under warranty.

Option #2 - Unlock the bootloader, upgrade your recovery, flash the new radio and upgrade to a new rom like cyanogenmod. Come to the Dark Side young skywalker.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyborg_001:
So returning or rooting are my only options??? Why does the screen rotate weirdly? Is there any explanation of what's gone wrong?!

See if its a hardware n I root then I'll cry later due to voided warranty n in UK we get a 2 year warranty.

As far as bumps or knocks are concerned...ofcourse the phone takes normal hits or once or twice falls from my laptop to my carpeted floor but that's all.

There has to be logic behind this!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottslc:
strange sceen happenings...

I've had the same ghost in my machine. In addition, my nexus would lose communication with the network and the cool startup screen with the streaming x would show. I had to pull the battery to get things back to normal. Enom suggested to watch my apps, he thought maybe one had a memory leak.

I found that moving my apps to my sdcard made my phone shot my phone to the streaming x about twice a day. Since wiping and not doing this, I haven't had that problem. I also found that my fav craigslist app was causing my screen to go unresponsive. I think the craigslist app was checking it's update and monopolized the cpu. Since my wipe i havent' installed it and the phone is working better.

Last, I installed nextheme 1.8.1. It also seems to quell the errant screen happenings. The screen still has it's moments, but if i press the off button and turn the phone back on again, i have control back.

I still have problems, but i've gotten them managable. I don't think it's a hardware problem because my rom choise and app selection really affect it. If it were hardware, it would be more consisitant regardless.

Hope this helps...
