Speed fix for Froyo Roms on MARKET

After playing with alot of Roms one thing i noticed is the incredible slow speed of market loads and searching. LeeDROID rom has excellent market speeds. The attached file is a grab of Market files from the LeeDROID rom and then packaged up to flash.

This has been tried on multiple roms and gives EXCELLENT SPEED WITH LOADING, SEARCHING and even DOWNLOADING. It is also know to give you back that illusive PAID TAB in some instances (has worked for me every time)

Give it a go and let us know what you think. Countrys with no paid apps may not add the paid tab.

Also once rebooted it may take half hour to sync up with Google before you notice the speed. But once its going it is alot faster

ENJOY!!

Install - Flash zip from Recovery or ROM Manager

of course always nandroid first before flashing anything.

I take no responsability for bricks

Big thanks to LeeDroid (and congrats on the new baby) and also dancedreamfly for helping with packaging
[Desire General] GlumeX:
Where can i get it?
[Desire General] 160bpm:
I'm doing now a Nandbackup and give it a try...
[Desire General] brady1uk:
attached to the bottom of my first post
[Desire General] brady1uk:
any feedback if people are noticing the speed difference here
[Desire General] chr15gb:
Does it actually remove the Market or can it work alongside (for comaprison purposes it would be useful to download the same app within each)
[Desire General] brady1uk:
it replaces it, could nandroid and compare your two different roms, but if you was suffering from slow market you will notice the speed anyway
[Desire General] neoKushan:
Anyone tried this?
[Desire General] Intrepid_NL:
I did. Didn't notice any difference to honest (Leedroid 1.6).
[Desire General] dmok:
I did, LeeDroid 1.6 ROM. It is fast but I honestly don't remember if old market was slow, sorry. But I don't see Paid Apps Tab.

[Desire General] GlumeX:
It's actually a lot faster :-) I'm using defrost 2.5a, and just updated the market to this, and its really good, even when I'm updating apps its quicker :-)
[Desire General] brady1uk:
good to see its working on multiple roms
[Desire General] MightySashiman:
would it work on Cyanogen 6 RC1 ?
[Desire General] brady1uk:
i couldnt tell you, i have only ever tried on Sense Roms, Previous users have told me it worked on non sense roms such as Defrost so I should imagine it would work fine as it doesnt edit any of the framework of the rom.

Ill try it tonight and see but if you wanna have a go nandroid it first and let me know the results
[Desire General] nikosrs4:
what's the MACOSX folder?
[Desire General] j2kquest:
No paid apps on djdroid.UK network..but its super fast and is now giving me the option to auto update my apps
[Desire General] LeeDroid:
This is good to see :D

Thanks for the mention! Baby still isn't here... *patiently waits*
[Desire General] brady1uk:
Was created using a MAC, nothing malicious :-)
[Desire General] brady1uk:
Hope it happens soon for you mate, all the best to your misses! :-)
[Desire General] nikosrs4:
yeah ofcourse, I just asked ;)
[Desire General] zaphyr:
From which Rom version are these files?

Sent from my HTC Desire running LeeDrOiD 1.4a
[Desire General] brady1uk:
No worries, hope it works well for ya
[Desire General] brady1uk:
Version 1.6
[Desire General] emms007:
Thanks !

I'm using it on Cyanogen RC1. Works great, I'm really happy to deal again with regular market speed :)

Thanks again !
[Desire General] GlumeX:
It also seems to be working a lot better with market enabler :-)
[Desire General] BlackDragonBE:
Defrost 2.4b, no speed increase whatsoever.
[Desire General] brady1uk:
Give it half hour to sink in. Defrost 2.5a was said to have speed improvements. Was you suffering from slow market prior
[Desire General] brady1uk:
if your not noticing any difference at all (and your not using LeeDroid 1.6) it may be worth trying to go to Setting - Applications - Manage Applications - find market and clear the cache and even the data (note clearing data will erase all previous searches and make it clean as if just installed) then flashing the marketfix
[Android] MacaronyMax:
Hello I was wondering how i can optimize my png files to make them less memory and faster to load. I have googled around but have not found much but spyware and other viruses. Thanks :D

hi there looking for a secure password app that remembers website details all in one application, i use opera 10 at the moment, and it keeps all my passwords which is fine but i would be terrified if i lost my phone and some gained access to them any help on this one, free would be good. cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] farqui:
KeePass has PC and PPC based apps (amongst others) - freeware too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Start by giving cred to the devs:

Antibyte at samdroid who made this possible

Seraphimserapis that implementd it first on SGS roms.

I tried it with I9000XWJG5 deoxed rom: modaco R3

Should be compatible wit all deoxed rom (but make sure to make a nandroid backup first)

Install from Clockwork recovery

Ps: JIT is not fully stable....

Update, you may need to put the 2 folders in your custom rom to make this functional...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SquidgyB:
Thank you, just what I was looking for - will be downloading and flashing just after I finish work :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Does the qudrant finish on this one? I know it didnt on previous implementation.

Any real improvement in speed? and Any known bugs?

BTW, Do I just copy zip to/sdcard, reboot using rom manager and flash it from there?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
There is some problems with the current JIT implemention for SGS.

Some benchmark software will crash, incl quadrant.

Depending on your rom, you can flash it from Clockwork recovery OR in some cases you need to edit your full custom rom and put the 2 folders inside and resign the rom.

MAKE sure u take a nandroid backup. May save some work ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Yup, just did a back up :cool:

Downloading SamSet ROM right now (if im not mistaken the only deodexed ROM for JM2).

So, I will report success/failure in probably an hour.

PS. If we have kernel for ext4 stall fix, do we have to reapply the second (adb) part of the fix to recreate the link with sd card, or everything should be left unaffected?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Should be fine, at least with Modaco R3 it was...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
I flashed this on JM2 using clockwork 'install zip'

It doesn't seem to have had much effect, 50 points on quadrant at most.

Which combined with the sdcard fix is now about 1750
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Do you have an Deoxed rom, eg samset?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
samset 1.6 yes. i dont think this has worked. i still only get 8.5 MFLOPS in linpack
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Then you have to install samset again with the 2 folders from JIT incorporated.

Open the samset.zip with winrar (or similiar), and drop the 2 folders from JIT into /system, resign the zip and install again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
i have JM2 with Samset 1.6 and the ext4 sdcard fix.

I backed up with nandroid, placed the zip in the root directory on the phone. ran clockwork recovery, advanced, apply zip.

All fine, rebooted up no problem

It hasn't worked though

*edit*

Ill try that
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Ok, i have not tried it in any jm2 rom, may or may not be functional.

Good luck tho :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
i just repacked samset and updated it.

No change to MFLOPS

The update went very quickly for something thats 100mb+ (5 seconds or less)

maybe clockwork 'install zip from file' isn't working properly
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vibez:
It's a known bug, you need to use the standard samsung recovery method, by renaming the modified rom as update.zip.

How did you resign the rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
If i replace the update.zip in the root directory that means i cant use nandroid to backup if things go wrong surely
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vibez:
backup using clockworkmod, then move the update.zip into the root
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
i replaced the root one, its updating and taking much longer this time. i wont be able to recover though
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Yup, the same issue - didn't work.

Two questions - can we manually drop the 2 folders (bin and lib) to system ourselves?

and how do we sign the zip file?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vibez:
did you not take a backup previously? I took a standalone backup using clockworkmod, so if anything goes wrong, I can reflash back to stock, root the phone, reinstall clockworkmod and restore my backup before trying again
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
it worked this time. You have to use the standard android boot menu and use the update.zip in the root, clockwork one doesn't work.

It is somewhat unstable in benchmarks, quadrant wont complete, but goes through the cpu tests about twice as fast as before

Superpi is at about 1.8k ms

linpack is anywhere between 12 and 13 MFLOPS

linpack crashed once, need to do some stability testing

Also strangely setcpu long bench time has actually got worse, but short bench time has improved
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vibez:
Good stuff :) how do you resign the rom?

NM - found it here

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
Right after using it for a little while it is indeed fast, it will be amazing when froyo is released. this combined with the ext4 fix means that the phone is very snappy with practically zero wait times between menu's or apps.

The downside is this Jit hack creates allot of apps to force close, even simply browsing the web.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Heh. I did nandroid back up (sort of bricked the phone playing with jit - my fault and stupidity) and apparently nandroid restore does not work =)

I loove it when a plan comes together!

Will have to manually once again reinstall everything...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vibez:
nandroid restore worked for me, although I had to flash back to stock, root the phone then apply the ext4 hack before I could restore my backup.

It does seem that this JIT hack isn't quite ready for daily use though, plenty of forced close errors. Thanks for sharing anyway. On the plus side, i'm liking the samset theme very much
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dupel:
Aha! Thats what I missed. Thats probably why the phone wouldnt boot after restore with nandoid.

Edit: Indeed. After that works like a charm =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ivanmmj:
Was this libvm.so compiled from scratch or taken from another device?

If from another device, which device?

If compiled, was it compiled to use both VFP and NEON?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dseo80:
could someone post a tutorial on howto compile a libdvm.so from scratch?

is "make libdvm" enough? where can i set the options (where is .config file/makefile) ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
The files come from here: http://forum.samdroid.net/f9/samdroid-turbo-1301/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ivanmmj:
If I read this correctly, the spica is an arm11 cpu, not cortex a8 cpu, so that means these libs were compiled under ARMv6 not v7 and without Neon or any other cortex a8 extension. Can someone grab the files from the nexus one and see if the phone even boots with them and what the linpack score if so.

Edit: don't forget to match 2.1 to 2.1 and 2.2 to 2.2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ivanmmj:
This is a test. I have NOT tested this as I don't even HAVE a SGS.

I cannot guarantee that your phone will even boot after flashing this. If you plan to flash this, you have to know how to restore back if it doesn't boot. I am not responsible for any damages caused by this.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OPREWZAS

This is a modified version using files from this AND from the Nexus one... (It will also change your version number accidentally... :p )
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
I tried your modded JIT, with the "dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit" added it get stuck in the boot.

And without i dont get any JIT active
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ivanmmj:
What linpack do you get without JIT active with this libvm.so?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Around 8.5 with modded I9000XWJG5 rom
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ivanmmj:
And that's about stock, right? (Again, don't have my SGS, yet.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Yes, its same as stock. What files did you change?

Edit, the libdvm.so is from nexus?

It use different hw so it is not functional?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ivanmmj:
It's functional but not the JIT side of it. It's the same instruction set.

I'll have to compile one from scratch with Samsung's changes...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Nice, let me know ifyou need any assistance.

And i be happy to test your work :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mumps:
With the phone like in my sig, I used the first post .zip and it got stuck in the first boot screen.

Recovered my backup and then tried the one here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7403840&postcount=30

But Linpack scores are almost the same, and the phone feels the same too (I keep it at 100/1280 with SetCPU and it's really stable, only reboots 1/2 times a day :D)

Can it be because I'm with JM5? The kernel on this zip is normally included in the PDA .tar file?
[Desire General] chespest:
Today I bought a new TF card(kingmax 16G class6), I think it makes my phone run faster and get smoother 720P video recording .

But really the case? I made a simple test, compared Class2 to Class6 TF card.

First i put the TF card into the phone, and connect to the computer with USB cable, copy a movie. Then copy the same movie using card reader.

Class6 TF card　　　　　　　　　　　Class2 TF card
HTC Desire　　　　　　　　　　　2.8MB/s　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 2.7MB/s

Card Reader　　　　　　　　　　　6.4MB/s　　　　　　　　　　　　　 3.5MB/s

Obviously, Class6 TF card can not bring significant performance improvement to the phone.:(:(:(:(:(:(

That sounds a bit closer to a radio-rom problem.... Try a different radio.

But, if you do want to change ROMs, it's up to you to decide what ROM you want. The CleanEx Series (the Core/Ultra, specifically) might be something you want.
[HD2 General] pongskie:
Hi there!

There are a lot of good roms out there in the Rom Development Thread from our great chefs here in XDA.

But if you want you can try to help in beta testing a fresh customized rom. Check the link in my siggy. I haven't done any visual customization yet and added some apps. Just the basic shipped rom but made faster and improve battery consumption.;)

Thanks and Regards,

Hi to all,do you know if exist an app to blink the led when there is signal? (like a notification)
[Desire Themes and Apps] wmh:
Yes, its called blink:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/imoblife.blink
[Desire Themes and Apps] Ruka82:
With blink you can set notification for message,call,battery or memory but not with signal.

I try another app (No Signal Alert) but is the opposite of my request (make a notification when the signal is lost).

I find a partial solution,i must use Locale with the Notification Plugin and the Signal Plugin,in that way i can set the led to blink when i have signal.

Strange that anyone make an app for that.
[Desire Themes and Apps] wmh:
Ah fair enough i see what you mean, unfortunately i haven't seen an app capable of that. It's a isn't a bad idea.

I never have liked how HTC's messaging looked. I pulled the mms.apk from Evo-Nonsense, but after that, i'm lost on what steps i'd need to take from this point.

When trying to just install the apk, i get a message saying installation aborted.

I started noticing characters appearing as boxes (☐☐☐☐☐) in the built-in browser and facebook for android app. I have set the default text-encoding within the browser to UTF-8 but that didn't help so I'm guessing the problem lies in the font?

After reading this thread (h t t p : / / xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=666973 ) I must admit that I am a little scared of messing with the default font being used by the entire system. So, if anyone knows a less intrusive way to get more characters to show up, I would greatly appreciate some advice!

Just to give an idea, I went to this page (h t t p : / / w w w . columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html ) and the 5th & 6th currency symbol from the right (₩ & ₪) are not showing up on my HTC Liberty's browser. Other symbols that don't display correctly are 〜 ❤ ♫ Ƃ ɚ ʞ (as you can see, these are not crucial to my survival so if all else fails, I can deal with the ☐☐☐☐☐).

P.S. If it helps at all, the safari & facebook app for iPhone can display all the characters mentioned above.

Short answer: no.

If you're that desperate to get Froyo I'd suggest you head over to the Dev board and install one of the many versions available. DJDroid which has HTC Sense seems to be the most popular.

I seriously doubt it is going to take very much longer.

When the first Hero 2.1 leaks started turning up, they were way less stable/functionally complete than the current Desire Froyo/Sense leak, which is good enough to use as an everyday ROM in my opinion (I'm using MCR 6).

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Radmeister:
So i have been battling with low resolution photos from facebook being applied to contacts, almost making even having a contact photo useless because you can't tell who it is anyways because it is so pixelated. I came to the conclusion that the facebook app syncs the thumbnails which are a massive 50x50px instead of the actual display picture...

Solution:

Download and install SyncMyPix from the market it's free and does a fabulous job, in the settings tell it to use the highest quality photo, you can link your contacts and tell it to update daily. Also it lets you crop the picture..Nice little app.

Give it a try guys instead of crying to the ROM developers it has nothing to do with them, or Google Contacts app, it's the facebook app, it syncs the thumbnails because it thinks its easier to sync an already pre-cropped photo.

What a joke.

This should be in Themes and Apps...usually I'm a lot more forgiving but that's almost obvious should've been your first choice.

Luckily, the 'Mix-in' works on its own, with its only purpose being to sync pics in high res! Yay! Although, without the the main application Addressbook, it won't find your 'matches' so you have to select each match.; :mad: At least it works!!
