handcent widget - gone

i've sat on the sidelines for a long time reading everything i could. rooting, roms, kernals etc is all new to me but i finally took the plunge. this is really amazing! i love this rom and can't believe it took me this long to get up the nerve to finally do it.

i seem to have lost my handcent widget, reinstalled handcent but it's still not giving me a widget. i'd like to have it back because it shows the number of unopened messages.

EDIT: handcent updated today, widget is back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
The original was signed, but I prolly forgot to re-sign the mods. Try turning signature verification off. I'll rename them and post.

No...stupid mistake...I put a comma in 1,024...fixed version is attached. However, I've discovered anything over 256 returns the same speeds on my Class 2 card. 128 returns 2/5, 256, 512 and 1024 all return 2/10. I'm sticking with the 256. On Class 4, 6 and 10 cards the 512 and 1024 should return faster speeds.

Clockwork is lax about verifications, AR is a hard-ass. The files below are "fixed"...they should run on both recoveries now.

:cool:

And, again, flash as you would any other zip. They're "permanent" unless/until you either flash another one over it (to change cache size), or flash another ROM (then simply re-run one).

After rebooting, run the following to double-check everything worked properly:

In ADB -

adb shell cat /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb

In Terminal Emulator -

(first, type) su (then when you get the # sign type)

cat /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb

And here's the SD Card Speed test so you can see how fast you're running ahead.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
XLNT!!

Which did you use? Did you try more than one, and check speed test results for each?

I think a lot of folks here would be grateful for those test results!!

How do you put an .apk on the phone? This isn't something you put on the SD card and flash through recovery, is it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
No, not via a "flash".

I usually Gmail them to myself, and when you open the Gmail on your phone there's an "install" button next to the attachment. Easiest way to go.

If not, just move it to your sd card "download" (or any) directory, then find it in Astro, or Root Explorer, tap-and-hold and an "Install" choice will pop up.

;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
hey neil - cool work !

it's amazing that frankoid discovered this sd card read ahead buffer tweak back in October

and we didn't hear about it in here until 3 months later ! when Beknatok first mentioned it 9 days ago.

did you ever ask frankoid how he found out about the read ahead buffer ?

also - if i'm using a kernel that has setting of 128 built in.

then i flash your 256 zip and reboot. i'm at 256.

now i flash a different font or something, or just want to reboot.

it would seem to me that the kernel's 128 will set the buffer at 128 size upon reboot, no ?

if not, what makes the 256 permanent ?

inquiring minds want to know these things! :)

thanks again - and take care of yourself ! for a change :)

EDIT: amon_ra removed verification toggle from his latest test versions
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
some apk's need to be adb pushed (or possibly copied to /system/app and then reboot) to install, such as Footprints...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Y'know, B, I don't really know... I've avoided kernels with built-in read-aheads for just that reason.

I bet Frank Reyes would know...Frank?

But, Bruce, for now, be our Guinea Pig (no offense intended to Snookie, Situation, Iowetax, or any of our Noo Joisy pisanos).

I recall you still have the 8G Class 2 that came with the phone, right? If so, install my 256, which will yield the best results on a C2, reboot a few times and run that test to see if it "sticks".

Even if it doesn't, it isn't gonna screw anything on the card or system other than to revert to 128.

Post results. Inquiring minds want to know....

;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] DowntownRDB:
I originally tried the 1024 and then the 512. Surprisingly I got the same results with both. The 1024 was a little bit "shaky" on a couple of my large image previews so based on that and for the time being I'm going to stick with the 512. I know you can't overclock an SD card so I will definitely try the 1024 zip again in a week or so to see if I get the same results and will report back. Also, I noticed games load super fast from my SD card now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mugsaway:
Using Root Explorer, when I navigate to read_ahead_kb file I cannot open it. It has a badge/star on the file. I changed to R/W and still cant open the file. Where have I gone wrong?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DowntownRDB:
Lowetax, I'm using HTC #15 modded & tweaked by Calkulin which had a 128 SD card tweak. I used Persnlmgr's 512 and 1024 and it speeded things up tremendously as previously posted. I am staying with the 512 for now. I have rebooted twice now since moving up to 512 and it did not go back to the 128 tweak but stayed on the 512 which i put in last. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Going back to the old days of RAM Disks on the computer, my knowledge was there IS a point the cache size will be too big, and slow things down as it "fills up" each time it's accessed. I believe the exact same principal applies here.

Have you opened your Gallery? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck, it's fast.

I use the 256 on my C2 card. I have well over 100 full size, EVO taken, 8 Megapixel pics on it. I open Gallery and they all just POP open. Kind of astounding considering I used to have to scroll through and wait for them.

Also, the one game I do play, Angry Turds, er, Birds, opens and runs like a whizzzzzz.

they said the next day they would have to kill it and send it to Trenton.

Difficult to compare scores between two different devices because a lot depends on your setup. So, I really only use Linpack and Quadrant to compare changes I make on my own phone. Having said that, I average just over 37 on Linpack (with a best of 38.65) and upper 1300's on Quadrant (with a best of 1485). Those scores were using Net's 4.3.1-cfs-havs-nosbc kernel oc'd to 1152.

[EVO 4G Android Development] lostsoul77:
Is there a way to speed up the boot-up time on this ROM? So far this is the only thing that I'm not liking about my EVO running RLS5. It's like this with pretty much any kernel. Hot booting/restart breaks 4G for me, not sure about the rest of you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Download and install Android Assistant from the Market.

It's got a bunch of Start Up tweaks which'll allow you to remove stuff on start-up. The trade-off is you'll need to go in and start those programs when you use them, but it shouldn't really make an overall difference in performance.

:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrdavis55:
just use dropbox... Its the best/easiest way to get files on your phone... plus about a MILLION other great uses... It changed my life...

http://db.tt/QLRuyPX
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
+1

And if you pay the few bucks and get Titanium Pro Backup, it allows you to automatically sync your backups to Dropbox.

This has saved my ass twice already. I completely borked my phone AND sd card, formatted the card, then Dropboxed my files back onto my phone.

In addition, even in the free version of Titanium, you can "zip" the program onto your sd card, allowing you to flash it right after you flash a new ROM, so you can then do a restore without the extra steps of d/l-ing it from the Market!!

Awesome. :D

[EVO 4G Android Development] NasTraDooMis:
Hummmm, my hulu has totally vanished ! Its gone and i did not uninstall it. The zip is even gone from my sd card. I have on me PC and went to try and re install it using amond ra, and it will not flash in. I tried to flash a few other things in as well like a different dialer and 2.11 themed markets and in recovery i get message " zip verification failed" and " zip isnt sighned correctly". whats going on here ? I wiped cache and dalvik before hand. :eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] NasTraDooMis:

I have a lot of these "DiskCacheIndex11337" files on the sd card, is it ok to delete those ? Perhaps leave one ?

Totally forgot to say that i back my apps up there too!!!! Great catch!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SpydaPig:
Will this be overrided too if you flash a different kernel on top of it? I know some kernels already have the read ahead speed but say I the kernel has the 128 value installed in it already will it be fine if I flash the 256 value?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
I'm not sure, but if flashing a new kernel does reset it to 128, you can just reflash the read-ahead and reset it to 256 (or 512, or 1024).

That seems to be a common problem the fix that was talked about some hundred pages ago was turning 4g off from the HTC widget or from menu /settings /wireless and toggle it off then reboot.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mike rich:
Can you please explain to me how this whole setting of the read ahead works?? I downloaded the sd read ahead zip and the sd card speed test, but I'm not sure how you set the 128, 256, or 1024. I did not see an app that would allow me to do this after flashing the zip. Also, I have a class 2 card so what setting should I use. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
1) You have Toggle Signature Verification off right before you flash the zips. Do it once for each time you boot into recovery.

2) I have those too. I think they'd be alright to delete. If anything, they'd probably just regenerate.

Its called ghosting. The light u were using is to high therefore causes a relaxing image of the object the light is shining on. When u move the camera the object or ghosting will be purple until the camera can adjust, but it happened again when u moved to the car cause as I mentioned the light is too bright and causes a ghosting effect. definitely not the rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SpydaPig:
So I just tested this to see if it would retain the value that I flashed which was the 256 read ahead. I first flashed this on the stock kernel, then I flashed Netarchy's kernel without the 256 tweak and it retained the value, then I flashed Ziggy's kernel to see if it would do the same which it did. So changing kernels doesn't reset the vlaue. Thanks by the way, my gallery is way faster now when loading all my pictures..

If you have it hooked to your computer and enable that, it will enable you access to the micro-SD card in your phone from the phone's recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DowntownRDB:
NasTraDooMis, if memory serves me correctly that is an option to mount your sd card via usb while in Recovery (used when the phone is connected to your PC). You can then browse your sdcard from your computer. Handy tool when you are close to having your EVO borked.

[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
reflash the ROM without wiping. That should remove any mods/addons you've flashed since you flashed it and it won't nuke your settings and such.

Wipe dalvik/cache, reflash the ROM, then reboot, you should be good to go.

If you have any issues after the first boot, rewipe dalvik/cache and that should take care of it.

(Nandroid first just in case).

Uh, well, 1024 returned slower r/w speeds than 512 on my class 6 card, 5/16 with 1024 set and 6/18 set on 512. This is consistent over time and independent of rom or kernel combination. It's much easier for me to open a terminal and type in the manual commands to change speeds, and faster than rebooting into recovery. Interesting? To me....
