Klinux tried in the past to increase the mem and we had the same results. He also ran some binaries that got the gpu to run fine, but performance was low.

Phh mentioned that there may be a bug with gralloc since we are only using 8mb our of the 15 assigned to the gpu.
[Touch HD General] [ACL]:
This edit on the code is confusing.

/*#if defined(CONFIG_MACH_HTCBLACKSTONE) || defined(CONFIG_MACH_HTCKOVSKY)

{ .clk_id = PMDH_CLK,	.offset = 0x8c,	.ns_only = 0xa19,	.name="PMDH_CLK"},

#else*/

{ .clk_id = PMDH_CLK,	.offset = 0x8c,	.ns_only = 0xa0c,	.name="PMDH_CLK"},

//#endif

Looks like .ns_only = 0xa19, was the original val for the blackstone which matches the clk dumps. Later it was changed to a19 which i think is for the raph.

we have been doing some DLL trace and changing the memory size and all failed.

And the memory size allocate to framebuffer doesn't seem to have any effect on the display. I even tried 1MB for the display and it still works.

Meaning the display driver actually allocating memory by itself and there is problem there for WVGA devices.

But some value caused the device to crash but other than that it works the same way.

[Touch HD General] [ACL]:
When you change mem size, does the chip actually recognise the change?

I think a bunch of people tried to chance the mem size in pmem.c, but i'm not sure if the chip is actually seeing all that memory, or if maybe there is an issue with gralloc.

If you kernel has modified pmem values, can you call the binary included in the attachment. That binary loads the qualcom lib directly to see how much mem is available to it. It will also dump a bunch of crap about the clocks and some reg settings. Good stuff

I tried making a gralloc test but i dont think im doing it right, i was able to load a 12mb bitmap which doesn't sound right.

I cant test any gl apps since the Rhod has other issues. Also, both the wince and android drivers seem to have calls for memory but the api isnt documented anywhere so its hard to test.

Look at the "ATI TotalMemory = 0x00f40000". (700000 + 800000 + 40000). which is over 15mb allocated to the chip. Can you test to see if changing pmem.c will change the values here as well?
[Touch HD General] xUmaRix:
Recompile the kernel sigh.low quality video run on utube.maybe I'll try to change pmem.c and recompile the kernel.it's hard to update to 2.6.3X kernel
[Touch HD General] [ACL]:
i don't know about upgrading kernels, but try lowering pmem and see what the ati chip sees. I doubt you will go higher that what its currently set to.
[Touch HD General] [ACL]:
Just to update yall. Alex[sp3dev] tested the pmem changes and we can see the chip recognizes those changes. Since we are currently already at 15mb for the chip, next step is to dissect the gralloc code.

[Touch HD General] xUmaRix:
just wondering if it is all because we dont use any native resolution of android build for our device WVGA.Maybe im going to try myself using desire build when i have free time
[Touch HD General] [ACL]:
while doing some search for nand boot for the rhod we found out that winmo maps mem for 3d differently. Turns out 2mb is assigned and 12mb is for ebi. Since gralloc only uses ebi, someone should try to up the memory to 12mb on pmem.c. This is only for the rhod, so someone in your team should disassemble wce_pmem.dll to verify those numbers. It may not be the same, but worth a look.
[Touch HD General] KillTek:
Hi Guys, I wanna jump on board and help.

Does anyone know where in the wce_pmem.dll to start looking?

Is there an obvious location to start or a function call maybe?
[Touch HD General] xUmaRix:
Here is the dll and asm dump wce_pmem.dll
[Touch HD General] [ACL]:
Fyi.. the numbers have been verified. We have an issue now with mismatching memory sizes. The android driver expects 7 smi + 8 ebi of mem alloctetd. It's actually statically set so no matter how much you up the pmem, thats all that will be used.

This is bad news since we have no other driver we can use. We maybe able to hack the binary to change those values but it may not work.. One of the kovsky devs i believe is going to try this. Stay tunned :-)
[Touch HD General] mcdull:
but I doubt 7MB is enough to drive the WVGA resolution.

Like what I learnt before.. the partial working 3D on blacstone is actually being rendered at a lower resolution.
[Touch HD General] camro:
tried pmem.c with GPU0 to 2MB // GPU1 to 2MB

then changed the resolution in blackstone-panel.c to 640 (old value 800).

so, the kernel is a 640x480 -> and then 3d is working (for small 3d apps).

= 307200 pixel x 2 kb = 614400kb - which is also in gralloc

(tested also with 7+8mb mem -> is also working, but resolution must be smaller as the 307200 pixel.

there are 2 other combi: 768x400 or 800x384, which does also have 307200 pixel.

i don't think, that it doesn't work for WVGA, because not enough mem to adress (otherwise why does vga work with 2+2mb ? -> so it is clear, that somewhere is a limit of resolution or size of res to gralloc....

(of course - maybe also a limit for mem also)

in summary, i strongly think, that there is somewhere a LIMIT of the resolution 307200 pixel or 614400kb page mem.

will try testing more ...

for now i'M searching/waiting for Cotulla, which fixed a lot of things for wvga and maybe he can tell me where this limit can be - and how to fix it ..

as i can see you reduced the GPU size to 262144 - however ...

which resolution have you compiled .... or have you save the full color deep ?

as long as the GPU size is smaller 614400 it is working ....

i have not know, that it is possible to reduce the color deep - isn't it ?

maybe we are talking on chat about ...

EDIT:

habe you tried to the res 512x256 ? or have you changed the color deepth ?

(GPU size to 262144 -> 512x256x2kb)

[HTC Aria Accessories] dochood:
Any recommendations for a microSDHC card? I'd like a 16GB. I've been reading up on Class 2, 4, 6, and 10 cards. The consensus seems to be that Class 2 is adequate for most phone usage, except perhaps for recording 720p video.

Any thoughts on this? Brands? I'd like to grab a SanDisk from Office Depot for about $32.
[HTC Aria Accessories] glitterbug:
I got an 8gb class 6 for $20 (search newegg for item N82E16820208453 i cant post urls yet sorry).

I figure I may be able to use it in other gadgets in the future and it was only a few dollars difference from a class 4 or 2.
[HTC Aria Accessories] dochood:
An 8 GB doesn't seem such a bad idea for a starter. I have an 8 GB iPhone 3G right now, and I'm trading it to my daughter for her iPod Touch 8 GB. I'll use it for podcasts and music I don't listen to much.

I'll probably trade up to a 32 GB when they come down in price, and maybe in the meantime I'll grab another 8 GB as a backup / extra "film roll" for trips.
[HTC Aria Accessories] HDCS:
Class 10 is meant for super fast write speeds needed for higher end video capture and the like. Usually DSLRs and such. You'll see a significant price difference for class 6 and class 10 cards. I doubt the Aria camera and system really needs, or even can take advantage of those speeds. Best bet is any basic card I suspect. I prefer going authentic Sandisk >=8Gb. I've been burned recently by DOA Polaroid labeled cards so I'm going back to Sandisk from here on out myself.
[HTC Aria Accessories] dochood:
I ordered a Class 6 Transcend 8 GB card off of NewEgg. I wanted a Class 6 16 GB, but one comment in the reviews scared me away from the Transcend 16 GB card:

I wasn't sure if this would apply, but I didn't want to risk it. The 8 GB reviews all said it worked fine with Android phones.

The 8GB card was only $20, and I figured that I can probably deal with that until the 32 GB cards come down in price. Also, the 8 GB card was a 5x Customer Choice Award Winner, with 624 reviews. Since my iPhone was 8GB, I'm pretty sure I can live with that for awhile, maybe getting a second one to take on trips.
[HTC Aria Accessories] tiga2001:
I personally like A-Data, Transcend, and Kingston. I've had compatibility problems with Sandisk before. I like these brands because they've never given me compatibility problems. I've bought a lot of cards from Transcend, but recently, I'm leaning more towards A-Data because their cards are generally pretty fast, like this one.

[HTC Aria Accessories] hexmonkey:
Bunnie Huang of xbox hacking and chumby fame has done a forensic analysis of a handful of microSD cards in the pursuit of the best quality to include with the chumby device. He determined, among other things, that:

"Kingston is revealed as simply a vendor that re-marks other people’s chips in its own packaging. Every Kingston card surprisingly had a Sandisk/Toshiba memory chip inside, and the only variance or “value add” that could be found is in the selection of the controller chip."

The article is an amazing read.

Was really annoying because I was nearing my destination and really needed to pay attention to all the turns it was giving me, and the damn thing was skipping every 3 seconds from one song to another, pausing to give a direction, skipping to another song, skip, skip, directions, skip, skip, skip, skip... directions.

I got where I was going, had to circle the block because of a missed turn. Picked up the phone and the screen did not respond, the phone was almost too hot to hold (wasn't in the sun any of this time but I also don't have AC). The screen seemed to respond but the whole system was very slow. Took over 10 seconds for a response. I had to remove the power cord and pull the battery. I left the battery out for 10 mins while I went inside my destination. Had the phone in my pocket and my pants were on fire. But I put it back in and it booted fine.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] austriker27:
Howdy,

So I flashed my phone to cm4.2 last weekend and everything has been quite dandy. But I now I have a problem, and I kind of doubt its from the cmod because that was a week ago and this problem happened yesterday...

Yesterday I was talking on the phone until the battery died. Then I rushed to my charger and plugged it in. I tried to turn it back on but it would not. It goes to the G1 screen then to the CM boot animation screen then the screen turns BLACK! IT will not stop doing this. I have to keep pulling out the battery. Last night I even pulled out the SIM and battery for a few minutes. Then put them back and tried again. Same result. I charged it fully last night (while off) thinking that might help. This morning after the LED light was green I tried again to reboot the phone.. Also sometimes the phone will do this reboot sequence after I plug the charger in, but it still goes to the blank/black screen... awww..

I am really hoping I do not have to wipe the phone and start over again with my apps and stuff because I have not really found a great free backuper and have not backed up within the last few days. I can use home+end call button to get to the bootloader (right name?) screen. However I am REALLY hoping I do not have to wipe.

Any solutions? I tried searching but could not find an answer..

THANKS!! This is basically terrible timing too because I leave on vacation tomorrow morning and will be needing my phone.
