Basically what you're doing is disabling compcache (you're not REALLY disabling it completely, but you're stopping the ramdrive from being created).

Basically what compcache does is takes some of your phone's memory and turns it into RAM. This is just about as evil as using a task killer because when the OS says "how much memory do I have left? Do I need to start killing tasks?" the phone answers back "fa-get-'bout it". Tasks go unkilled, processes run wild. Cats and dogs sleeping together... mass anarchy.

With compcache, the phone runs GREAT at first, but after time it starts sllloooowwwwwiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg down because memory isn't getting cleaned and memory has to be swapped out from the NV to RAM (which takes clock cycles).

You'll probably see a huge battery increase (over an extended amount of time) with compcache turned off because all those things will use battery:

swap memory = cpu cycles = battery drain

programs not stopping = battery drain

extra memory management = battery drain

hope that explains it a little - in a nutshell - if things run great at first and slow down and battery drain exponentially over time, but then even out after reboot, compcache is the reason.
[EVO 4G Android Development] metalroach:
like this rom very clean ... but no where near as powerful as the cyanogen rom ... i havent yet decided if im going back or not ... that will all be decided on when i can actually access my photos in my memory card... because now i remember why i hated sense... its no powerful enough and it lags so bad it has to forceclose
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
You can always remove Rosie and use LauncherPro.
[EVO 4G Android Development] metalroach:
yeah but the whole point of going to this rom was to get the sense features i kinda missed.. like the ability to send mms and use my camera to its full potential ... i do miss the power and the smoothness of CM6 ... but im gonna give this rom a lil while and see if i like it enough to keep it
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
You don't need sense to send mms or get 8mp.
[EVO 4G Android Development] metalroach:
well i missed the camera interface from sense ... the one on cm6 wasnt the best... and i wasnt able to send mms using cm6 ... i could recieve them but i could never send them ... had i been able to send them... i wouldnt be trying this rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Load the ROM and delete Rosie.ask from /system/app and I think you'll see that sense has absolutely nothing to do with your issues. Mms and camera controls are not part of sense. Only the home pages.
[EVO 4G Android Development] metalroach:
once i do that im assuming i can load launcher pro?

also is there anyway i can get the lockscreen from CM6... i always hated HTCs slide down lockscreen
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Rosie - yes... launcher pro starts automatically. Btw it's apk not ask (stupid text prediction)

Cm6 - couldn't tell you. But you should be able to (of course you lost the HTC alarm and music controlson the lock screen)
[EVO 4G Android Development] metalroach:
its the lockscreen that is in the preview pics for this rom ... however all i get is that damn slide down lockscreen ... lol i wish i was good enough to combine all the best roms lol its hard to decide lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
You're probably talking about the vanilla lock screen. Read the release notes and faq and it'll explain how to load that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gapoochi:
Does anyone using this still have a problem with pics being 3mps? I have the netarchy kernal and my files are still very small making me think that it is 3mb and not 8.

I also wanted to find out if anyone had issues with the contact pictures that come from facebook being very low quality and blurry.

thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] metalroach:
im searching but not finding anything... and it wont allow me to delete rosie?? am i doing something wrong?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dragonlord76:
Thanks. Just did what you suggested and it works like a charm.....:D:D:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
so why isnt compcache disabled by default if it causes slow downs???
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Connect phone to computer, drop to command line and type (assuming adb is in your path - if not that's an entirely different conversation not to be held here)

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Rosie.apk
adb reboot

This is case sensitive of course.

Vanilla lock screen - http://geekfor.me/faq/how-to-use-fresh-updater/
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
Netarchy kernel questions should probably be taken to the netarchy thread. Even though you may be running it on a Fresh ROM, this thread should really be for discussing Fresh ROM with Fresh Kernel - otherwise people get very confused about what does and doesn't work on the ROM (as Flipz designed it)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
I'm sure at one time Flipz thought that task killers were a good thing (we all did). I assume it is only a matter of time before he comes to the same conclusion and decides to offer this as an option (perhaps through the updater).

Besides the slowness and battery drain, compcache was more of a good idea on phones with less memory (the Hero for example)... but with the specs on roids that we have here, it doesn't make much sense.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
So is it generally a good idea to disable it..honestly this is my first time hearing about this issue..has anyone else done this..i usually follow the forum's recommendations
[EVO 4G Android Development] ejittles:
I'm not sure he is correct in his assessment. Just because an app is resident in memory does NOT mean that it is using more battery. Let me give you my humble opinion:

The memory in your phone takes the same amount of energy no matter what is stored in it (data or nothing)

Just because an application is in memory does not mean it is consuming CPU cycles

Every time a new application is run, its memory must be zeroed. Therefore initializing a new app does not take any more cycles.

If memory is needed and an application has not been run in a long time, the OS is free to clear the memory and terminate the app w/o any significant increase in cycles

The OS is not going to swap to flash apps that are not active. It will just free the memory and zero it for the new process.

Really compcache functions a lot like disk cache functions on a standard linux box. Why waste memory by leaving it empty when we can preload things that are likely to be needed next?

*EDIT* Wait after rereaading his post I think he means that compcache is basically a swap file. So my post is a little misguided but either way, I think if you have so many apps running that compcache has to swap then you're probably consuming a lot of juice anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
so has anyone disabled it and seen positive results? i havent seen any negative results from having it, but i've never had it disabled so i dont have a base to compare against

welcome to FROYO!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmanley69:
You have to recount system as rw. Yes if you issue that command (i don't have that off the top of my head.

You can do it with es strong file manager.. just turn on root and read write system. Turn them off before you exit strongs or it force close on next open. You're just trying to rename compcache.sh rename so you can turn it back on if you want reboot after the rename.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BAleR:
Got ya, tryin it now thanks for the help
[EVO 4G Android Development] BAleR:
I thought froyo was supposed to improve battery, is this false advertismnt?
[EVO 4G Android Development] swornenemy:
It has improved for me compared to 2.1. I am currently at 10.5 hours uptime and battery is at 72%. This is with light usage of course and can get well over 24 hours without a charge.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BAleR:
I was joking by the way, got it renamed, hope it helps out, mine freezes every once and a while also. Thanks again for the help
[EVO 4G Android Development] BAleR:
Well it used to be ok, just the other day when i woke up it lost like 10% overnight. It used to only drop maybe 2 or 3% maybe i need to try a new battery. Even if i did get a new one wouldnt it still use the same stats? I mean with this one it says its at 100% and im pretty sure its really 75-85% its pretty bad now, if i left it alone all day ofcourse it would last but it shouldnt drop 5% every 5 mins or so
[EVO 4G Android Development] dahray02:
i'm still debating if the compcache disabling thing is worth doing..i dont have crash problems yet but i would like to avoid them if compcache is gonna create them in the future
[EVO 4G Android Development] BigMatza:
Yes, I am too. Strangest thing, all of my MMS settings are using "Orange MMS" instead of Sprint. I did a LOT of research (not just on this site), and made the following manual changes, which are unsuccessful so far:

##3282# -> Advanced -> MMS Server URL: Changed from http://mms.orange.es to http://mms.sprintpcs.com

/data/data/com.android.mms/shared_prefs/com.android.mms_preferences.xml:

Changed htc_cdma_mms_connections_name from "Orange SMS" to "Production".

Changed htc_cdma_mms_mmsc from "http://mms.orange.co.uk/" to "http://mms.sprintpcs.com/"

Nulled out htc_cdma_mms_proxy and htc_cdma_mms_port

That last step was essentially the same as using MMSZap, which I tried as well.

I also updated telephony.db (carriers table). Unlike some of the "fix tutorials" I read, I didn't even have the "Production" entry. I had to manually enter it myself.

Basically, I have no clue how this Orange MMS got into my settings, and I can't believe I can't find anyone else in the same situation. It's not like I did anything out of the ordinary throughout my root process. I even did a full wipe before my Fresh/Froyo update last week.

Not sure what else I can do to fix this. Would appreciate some help as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bighamsterneck:
anybody have a problem with LauncherPro setting as a default and staying that way? I set Launcherpro as default, launch it. Then check in home switcher, and it goes right back to sense.

Uninstalled Qik...no luck. Uninstalled Launcherpro and tried again, no luck. =(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biofall:
Yeah I've been doing some tests and 2.2 on idle time uses virtually no battery. But as soon as you turn the screen on the horror show starts.

It's not your battery, I think I'm going to go try to get a post stickied explaining that all 2.2 ROMs SHOULD have great battery life, but they are neew and the devs and chefs are still working on the correct optimizations. Everyone's battery life is like this, and those who say differently are the exception, not the rule. Promise :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] beartrap:
Why does my WiMaxTools app force close? I flashed from DamageControl3.5 and wiped before I flashed. It doesn't matter if I'm connected to 4G or not. WiMaxTools on DC3.5 didn't do this. Could this be a leftover from DC when I restored my apps and WiMaxTools is not included in the Fresh ROM? BTW - I jumped from DC because of high battery drain but I think I found two possible culprits after returning to Fresh - Fring and Swype. Fring and Swype were consuming way too much CPU time with my system monitor so I uninstalled them (Fring is worthless to me without Skype). My battery now seems to be back to normal, in case this helps others with a similar issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Antagonistt:
Home switcher has some issues with froyo. Try application "ClearDefault" and clear out the default home screen. Relaunch home and select LauncherPro as the default and it should stick. Also, if you are using quickdesk and restored it with Titanium backup, if you restore with data it is most likely the cause of your problem. If you restore, restore quickdesk as app only, no data, then setup everything as usual. Hope that helps!

As much of a pain in the a$$ as it is, it is best practice anytime you are doing a huge restore to only restore the apps and leave out the data. Sometimes it causes major problems later.:mad:

Same here, I installed the apk from the Removed apks folder and everytime I run the app it will get to the loading screen then just disappear. I don't even get the FC screen. I've tried this on netarchys kernel and on the Fresh3 stock kernel which leads me to believe there is either something going on with the apk that was provided or this particular rom.

Any help would be appreciated! Football season is almost here!

I hate to ask this since it may have already been addressed in another thread but I'm running Fresh 3.1.0.1 and love it but am really missing my Netarchy kernel with the FPS fix. It's just that everything looks so much better at 45+fps vs the stock FPS issue.

Are there any plans to include it or at least make it compatible? or is this something I should ask in the Netarchy FPS thread? I've tried all of the kernels and all of them cause my touchscreen to stop responding.

Bump - Is WiMaxTools a part of Fresh ROM? I suspect it was part of the DC ROM I had backed up and reinstalled after flashing to Fresh. Also, my battery usage is great again. 30% consumption for the same time/use as the DC ROM with Fring and Swype. I am almost positive it was either the Fring or Swype chewing up my battery now and not the DC ROM.

This drives me absolutely crazy!! Why on earth do people answer to this crap?? I have learned from day 1 on these forums to simply READ and SEARCH and almost all of your questions will be answered!! All I see on here is people saying "I don't feel like reading through all of these posts" or I could read to find the answer but it's just easier to ask" How about you stop being lazy and find the answer like the rest of us did??!! I feel sorry for Flipz because all he does answer the SAME questions over and over again!! I am more than willing to help someone if they have a question and cannot find the answer..But I simply refuse to help people who are in reality too lazy to find the answer themselves and so should everyone else...All I'm asking is to please stop enabling these lazy people by answering questions that are EASILY found by simply READING!!

give this a try.

drop to command line and

Code:

adb remount

adb shell mv /system/etc/init.d/compcache.sh /system/etc/init.d/compcache.bak

adb reboot

Then, run it for a while and see if it slows down again.

Also... if you're using a task manager/killer or any kind of "memory optimizer" - stop.

I tried this cause 2.2 ran great at first but started messing up and my battery got worse everyday...This solved my problems! Hope it helps ya!

You can also use a file manager. The end result is that /system/etc/init.d/compcache.sh is renamed to something else (you can delete it, but then you have to extract it from the ROM zip file if you ever want it again).

3 important things (if using a file manager)

1) make sure you've got root mode turned on

2) make sure you've remounted /system as read/write

3) reboot after (no reboot = didn't get applied)
