The Captivate has plenty of cpu power... it seems that most of the lag we are expeirencing comes with the filesystem Samsung has chosen to use and it's poor I/O performance. I'm not sure if Froyo will help too much - but I would expect that once 2.2 hits the custom ROM scene will really kick off, and hopefull somebody will implement YAFFS or whatever some of the other phones (Nexus 1, etc) are using.

We may see better battery life if the system needs fewer CPU cycles to accomplish the same tasks it's doing now.

Don't forget - we'll also receive the new kernal which should double the available RAM from 256mb in 2.1 to 512mb in 2.2 - though the system seems to currently report there is currently 325mb aviable. In either case, it will be a big increase - though I'm not really having any memory issues at the moment.

I'm trying not to get too excited for it, but it does make some impressive promises.
[Captivate General] 8525Smart:
^ Well, Samsung does have its own customized version of Android. I'd imagine that the one they're rolling out in September will contain an improved filesystem (as I've heard that Samsung is currently aware of the issue) and, in combination with Froyo's own improvements, should do a lot to help Android perform better.

I wasn't aware of the kernel thing. I don't see how is that possible, though. The Captivate has a total of 512MB RAM, so wouldn't it need a part of that in order to operate normally?
[Captivate General] mesasone:
The new kernel in 2.2 has HIMEM support and supports more than 256mb, which is what 2.1 is limited to. I'm not sure if Samsung tweaked the kernel to support the 325mb we have now or how that figure is derived, but right now we can't use all the RAM that the Captivate packs.
[Captivate General] 8525Smart:
^ I looked up info on 'HIGHMEM' and I see what you mean now. The updated kernel supports devices with RAM greater than 256MB RAM. I thought you actually meant that the kernel will make all 512MB available for the user.

Alright, that sounds good. I guess the additional support may be why there is supposed to be increased smoothness and animation.
[Captivate General] mwxiao:
I totally agree with you. I couldn't care less about tethering, hotspot or Flash. I never used them and never will. I just don't need them.

The only thing I care about is the speed improvement. I don't really believe it will have 2-5x improvement boost because, well, every claim is exaggerated. But I am expecting something.

That said, I am not too optimistic though. I have tried several Droid 2 in Verizon stores. It's very disappointing. It feels rather sluggish and laggy. Even worse than the Captivate now. And apparently Engadget reviewer agrees with me.

So as much as I welcome the birth of 2.2, I am not as optimistic as others.

And final words, I don't think we'll get the update in Sept. I think Samsung will (hopefully) release it in Sept, but it will take AT&T another month or two to load their crap.

I wish I am wrong.
[Captivate General] TheSopranos16:
Since the test roms that have come out are from Samsung and they already have AT&T crap on them, I believe its safe to assume that Samsung is making the roms for AT&T. So, there should be no extra step for AT&T to load their crap...it should come directly from Samsung.
[Captivate General] glio1337:
Considering 2.2 has gotten a ton of praise from other phones that are already using it I'm sure our Froyo will be a worthwhile upgrade as well. Sure, Samsung might screw the pooch on some things again, but overall it will be better.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
This isn't Windoze, how can an upgrade be disappointing?

Bring on the Froyo!
[Captivate General] mwxiao:
I am sure an update is always good. But if it doesn't meet the high expectations, it will be a disappointment. And I think the expectations are pretty high.
[Captivate General] 8525Smart:
Whoa, looks like I was a bit outdated. I actually hadn't realize Motorola's Droid 2 was using Froyo already (I still thought the Nexus One was the only phone that had it :o).

Regarding the September release, I actually thought it was taking until September because Samsung is currently modifying all of their Froyo ROMs for each individual smartphone/carrier. After all, Froyo has technically been released already, so why else is Samsung taking until September to officially release it to all of their handsets?

That's just the thing, though. As I said, prior Android releases have garnered praise too. Eclair has gotten praise and was said to improve hardware performance, have a better browser UI, improved virtual keyboard, and so on. Of those three, I think the only one I would agree has truly improved is the virtual keyboard (I think the Android keyboard works very well on Eclair). The other listed improvements? Not so much.

Of course, Froyo will be better overall, but I just hope it's actually a milestone release with the proclaimed changes making a big difference instead of just steadily updating the platform with people telling me afterwards to wait for Gingerbread.
[Captivate General] glio1337:
When reviews from places like Gizmodo, Engadget, Boy Genius etc say that they think 2.2 is a worthy step up from 2.1, I tend to take it as truth.

Regardless of any of that, all of the goodness from 2.2 is dependent on Samsung/ATT because they have the power to muck it up badly as they did with 2.1.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Really? I find engadget and gizmodo to be awful at everything but aggregating news. Their opinions are always so uninformed and seem to be governed by whatever the fashionable opinion at the time.
[Captivate General] glio1337:
Their product reviews are pretty good, or at the very least talk about the things most people would care about.
[Captivate General] mwxiao:
Samsung needs to customize it for its hardware and put on Twisted-Wiz UI. It's slow.

I don't believe a 0.1 upgrade will be considered as milestone. We will definitely see speed improvement. But it's normal for every update. You always wait for the next update. It's always snappier.

Of cause it's gonna be a worthy update. It's always worthy to upgrade to the next version. The question is, is it going to be as dramatic as they claimed? Personally, I don't think so.
[Captivate General] shaolin95:
Gotta love windows haters... :rolleyes:

Any way, I cannot wait for froyo because I want to be able to move apps to the SD, to use flash without having to use Skyfire and using the extra memory should help too.

Plus I am expecting a TON of ROMs when it comes out so slowly but surely they phone would be maximize. :D
[Captivate General] glio1337:
Quoted for truth
[Captivate General] emuneee:
I am more looking forward to an official lag fix and GPS fix moreso than Froyo. :)
[Captivate General] iamcombat:
I just read somewhere that JIT was written for the snapdragon processors and that while it may give us a little performance it wasn't really written for the hummingbird processor in our phones...so the chances of Samsung rewriting it just for us is probably very slim
[Captivate General] mesasone:
The claims of 2-5x performance increase do seem hard to believe, but I believe these figures came from actual testing on the Nexus One running 2.2. Of course, I think we all know how reliable benchmarks are...

September is only a few hours away... where is our Froyo!! :P
[EVO 4G General] Jabberbrain63:
Well since I install cyanogen 6.0.0 on my Evo 4g last night , it is now time to give up my iPhone for good! Goodbye old pal. :)
[EVO 4G General] pestilencec11:
How are you like the Rom/Kernal or both?
[EVO 4G General] spiicytuna:
and to top that he made Engaget's front page: http://tinyurl.com/373jx3f

w00t! The snap kernel may interest you if you like the stock cm6: http://tinyurl.com/373jx3f
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
I love it with the 8.1 kernel. Hit 1734 on quadrant. Yeah I know doesn't really mean anything but from froyo stock to this rom and kernel 500+ on quadrant is nice.
[EVO 4G General] MaliciousOne:
It's an Evo 3g if you put cm6 on it.....lol

Sent from hell using XDA App
[EVO 4G General] Jon:
It's an "EVO 3G" in most parts of the U.S.

Even if it were available to me right now I would still use CM6.
[EVO 4G General] myth_mn:
No 4G is worth the sacrifice for a fast running ROM... but I can't want for a CM6 with 4G!
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Once you have 4g, you will never want to go back to 3g, the speeds are so much better in every app that uses any kind of data.
[EVO 4G General] wy1d:
CM6 is a great ROM but 4g can be had without sacrifice in Fresh or Baked Snack.

Swyped on my EVO
[EVO 4G General] YenahsYenzow:
One of the things I liked the most abt CM6 is, modificable power control widget (add or take what you want on it), quick keyboard responsiveness, um can't think of anything else. I normally flash Fresh (3.2.0.0 donate version off HTC's latest 3.28.651.1 build with a MUCH IMPROVED stable and battery saving kernel by HTC, BIG IMPROVEMENTs over Kingklick's kernels! I mean BIG!!!)

When I feel like it, I switch to CM6 to toy around...when it comes to business and stability, I like Fresh (wish there was a senseless version of Fresh!)
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
4g is not in my area so i could care less about 4g but CM6 = WIN pure WIN
[EVO 4G General] alextrox69:
Cm6 is the best...I'm using it now..so much better then stock
[EVO 4G General] nickcash:
I really wish I knew how to get all these. I don't even know to root it..
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Ill probably try it whenever the 4g works.. my phone is fast enough as is and losing 4g is a killer for me. I never got giving up functions for a rom though... *shrug*
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Yeah, I mean, we're all paying $10 for 4G. Even though we're not all covered by 4G, it is always an option when traveling, etc. Seems silly to regress IMHO.
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
If you know how to use a computer you can do it. It looks more intimidating than it is. If you're still on 2.1 use Simple Root (doesn't get any easier). Froyo is a little more lengthy but its not hard. Just read through the tutorials a few times and it won't seem so bad. Sorry to jack the thread.
[EVO 4G General] nickcash:
Ok, well there are so many tutorials I don't know which one to use. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry to bother all of you.
[EVO 4G General] Freelancerx:
i will be switching to cm6 once 4g is working. i suppose if i lived in some backwoods area that has no 4g i wouldnt mind not having 4g, but man 4g really helps when doing things on the phone that require lots of data. not only that but sometimes 3g can get so damn saturated that speeds are terrible, usually happens at concerts or places where there are lots of people, i just switch to 4g and bam im good haha.
[EVO 4G General] mtxpert:
Phoenix isn't backwoods and Sprint doesn't offer 4G here....
[EVO 4G General] ekokinex:
I gave in last night and after 2 weeks of telling myself it wasn't worth the risk of bricking my phone, I rooted it and installed CM6 Stable. It is a great rom, luckily the 4G for me is 2 hours away and I get great 3G coverage so its not a big deal. I saw they made the front page on Engadget today it seems like I jumped aboard at the right time.
[EVO 4G General] auau465121:
Yes I agree everything is fast and it is a great Rom but two things that is horrible battery life for one and flash vids on the browser are played horrible slow which are deal breakers for me
[EVO 4G General] Negrito:
I live in Vegas, and last i checked 4g sucked my balls, but then again I have been using CM6 since the very first nightly. CM6 > 4G & hdmi combined

besides, most of my time is spent at home and work... where my wifi makes 4g look like a ford fiesta trying to race a nissan skyline.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
8-9 meg downloads on the go & hdmi.. better battery and no bugs > the lack thereof for me. But everyone has their own preferences. I just refuse to lose functionality that the phone came with for a few thousandths of a second difference in scrolling.
[EVO 4G General] Negrito:
18-20 @ work and 20-23 @ home. with dropbox, and vnc im quite content with capabilities of CM6. plus I think Sense is crap. Not sure what you mean by the bugs and battery comment as I have no bugs that im aware. or at least none that impede any of my daily phone functions. and my battery length is quite satisfactory imo. I can easily get 18-20 hrs out a single full charge. I dont see why you would need more than that....
[EVO 4G General] a2k:
Amen brother. I live in the bay area with 4G coverage at my place of employment, unwilling to stop running CM6 and not caring about 4G at all. I patiently wait for 6.1 hoping 4G to be supported!
[EVO 4G General] a2k:
I easily vouch for this, I've had well over 25+ hours of usage with CM6/Snap combo. At the time of this capture, I was well into my 20th hour just reaching 25% battery capacity. I could not ask for anything more.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zaska7a:
Hello! I am looking for program to download torrents directly to my x10 is there a free one or i shoud buy from the market? Any names you can point out ?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] pngface:
Why would you want to download torrents on to your cellphone? It makes more sense to use the cellphone to download torrents onto your computer/laptop

If you want to do that, there's an app called Transdroid that I use. it takes a bit of work to set up but its pretty sweet once you have it working
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] zaska7a:
Well my laptop broke down and i gave it for repair , and now i am bored and want to download a movie over the night and watch it tomorrow. So i need a bittorent/utorrent or something else to download movies on my x10. :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] QuentinCosta:
app name is SWARM. its a bittorrent-client...

download direct to your phone...

New Tab Manila in the form of the old games Fifteen.

Changes in 2 versions:

1. Change the schedule at the pictures from the distinguished s_grishkin

2. Completely changed the algorithm of movement of chips, now super-duper speed, and pile up the chips can be pressed without having to wait when the previous moves (I'm up to 5 chips pressed in a row and they moved as needed)

To install:

1. Disable Start-Settings-Today screen-HTC Sense

2. Install tab

3. Start the Start-B & L_Group-FixStartManila (if the first time will not start Reruns)

4. Turn Start-Settings-Today screen-HTC Sense

5. Re-sorts the tabs in the Preferences

6. We play.

FixStartManila doesn't work - solved

Sorry, my mistake - I did solve it myself, have Manila 2.1!

Hi MooNah,

I have a HTC Touch Diamond 2 with the last official German ROM.

I installed Manila Game Fifteen (actual version) but it screwed my Manila and I had to reinstall the backup. I did the installation in the following order.

1) Deactivate HTC-Sense in the home tab.

2) Installed Manila Game Fifteen (to the suggested part [not on storage card])

3) SoftReset

4) Tried to run FixStartManila for about 12 or more times but nothing happens (just the rotating dots and then nothing), I don't even get the confirmation question whether to run it or not. (with Softreset and without)

5) Activated HTC-Sense on the Homescreen and it tries to start several times but can't do it.

6) Gave up and reinstalled my backup.

Can you confirm that FixStartManila doesn't work with my device?

Thanks in advance!

Ps1: Have the some problem with Manila GPS tracker (version 3) too.

Ps2: I did search for this problem but didn't find an answer
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mike2nl:
Hi MooNah,

i am really surprised about your developement speed. I hope we can work together one time with a nice project. Because the effort you have. This is my lifestyle :D;).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mike2nl:
Hi MoonNah,

please can you give me the source for the 26948339_manila file. I don't use the automatic, because i will control by my self. I hope it is possible.

It is done. I have used the automatic on a different phone (TP2). Then i have copied my self the source..

BTW:

And also the nl-nl manila file name. I don't have the path to the game. I need him for manila hash ;).

UPDATE 1:

and here are my screenshots from the 15 game. The game buttons are near by the simplicity quicklinks.

The tab icons are from a very old book what i have found on a littel town market. If someone wish

to have a copy, please ask me and i will upload the files here.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] poyensa:
thankyou moonNah, is working fine :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mike2nl:
Hi MoonNah,

in your source you have this:

_application:SetLeftSoftkey(Softkey(Locale:GetString("IDS_GameFifteen_Left"), OnOffGame))

But the on/off function is not woking. Is this feature not enabled? If yes then it is ok.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] 760hacker:
Nice work I haven't flashed yet but wanted to know if any 2.32 kernel will work? Also is rosie removed?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thatdudebutch:
No. Per list above.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HeyItsLou:
Theoretically yes any 2.32 kernel should work however everyones phone handles kernels differently. I would suggest staying with Hydra he is a very reputable dev and has been making quality kernels for a while now.
