UPDATE:

i've been reading up on the lkml and i think there are some very interesting possibilities here...

What this program does, is put the tty-bound processes in a special cgroup. While this is done automatically, there is also a possibility to just do the same in userspace. (check Lennart from redhat's solution).

It basicly creates a different cgroup for foreground processes, he does it in the bash profile. But i think that with this in mind, we can create cgroup handler for our "most important" apps to make them more responsive!

I've been looking into hardcore's kernel and it already has cgroup support built in, so it's actually just a matter of using it properly

how? check lennart's comments further in the lkml thread because you have to look out to clean up cgroups when no more processes use it.

Anyway, when properly tuned, it should be even better than the kernel patch people talked about!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anarchyuk:
These type of changes would suit more underpowered devices like the Hero or G1 but imho I dont know why the galaxy S needs it, my IO after applying OCLF is 2300+ apps, any lag issues are not due to the current modded kernels available as they are really good..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
Idk why people don't understand simple things :(

cgroups does not magically makes your apps more responsive. It makes groups of processes which are scheduled together at the same level instead of doing it per process.

So, the group of "make" processes during a make -j64 get all globally a lower share of resources (than if they weren't grouped), allowing the group "browser" process to get enough resources to be smooth.

Without, each make process (64 of them) would get an equal resource time, which would also be equal to the browser, which ends up not being very nice for the desktop.

Now on the phone.. do you have a make -j64 running [IN THE BACKGROUND]? nope. do you have an heavy process or group of processes running [IN THE BACKGROUND]? nope.

Your front task is always the one taking most resources. If you put it in a group you might even decrease it's performance and responsiveness.

It's a double edged sword. You see, when they schedule the make -j64 process group, your browser is smooth but the make -j 64 process group is *slower*.

So unless a group of processes on the phone are taking too much cpu (i know of none doing that unless they're on the foreground), it's useless :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] harrydg:
very true... that's why it still might be possible to group "your current task" and "all the rest". That (might) give you an advantage still...

and as said: i'm not saying it IS better, i'm saying it might be worth testing ;)

hence the suggestion i put in post 11: make something that puts the application you start in foreground in a dedicated group and EVERYTHING else in another. When you background that process, move it to the "pool" group

it might just help!! (so... don't shoot the idea too soon :))

[General Questions and Answers] spi7fire:
Hi,

Every time i am installing a new app im searching for it in the "all apps" screen.

This screen holds a very long list of apps, sorted alphabeticly.

I was wondering if there is a way to see the apps sorter otherwise (by last installed for example).

The reason is because i want to add those apps to the main screen, and currently it is very uncomfortable.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] mcsinny99:
Couple of ways, hit the app drawer button, then long press the app and drag it onto the home screen you want it on.

Long press on the home screen you want it on then select shortcut then applications then select the app. If you are adding a widget change procedure accordingly.:)

Hi all ...

Excuse me for my bad english, i'm french ....

I have a big problem with my nexus one.

I would like to flash the latest cyanogen Nightly but since the V243 i have a error 7 when the phone try to update the boot.img ....

After a long search on the web , i found that the problem is probably that i have a bad sector on my boot partition.

to Fix this problem i have to update my bootloader with the Hboot 0.35 ....

My question are how can i update my bootloader ???? i have tried to flash the PASSIMG_Passion_KT_KR_2.15.1010.2_FRF91_release_signed.zip in Clockword recovery but it say that the package is bad ...

Please help ... thx
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Extract the hboot.img from the ROM ZIP.

Reboot to bootloader.

Execute:

"fastboot flash hboot hboot.img".

You need fastboot set up for this. Read Wiki to know, how to set it up.

No need to unlock the bootloader, the IMG is original and signed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc_zieger:
thanks for your answer

but i don't have a hboot.img on the package only a hboot_8x50_0.35.0017_100610.nb0 .

when i tried to fastboot flash hboot hboot_8x50_0.35.0017_100610.nb0 it doesn't work ..

Where can i find this hboot.img ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc_zieger:
I have rename hboot_8x50_0.35.0017_100610.nb0 at Hboot.img

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
By the output I see that your bootloader indeed is still locked.

Oh well, since the simple way didn't work - here's a very long, but certain way:

Download UniversalAndRoot.

Reboot to recovery.

Make a FULL NANDROID BACKUP.

[executing "unroot/restore your Nexus from Wiki, PASSIMG method]

Rename your Korean ROM file to PASSIMG.ZIP

Put it on SD card in root directory.

Reboot to bootloader.

Press whatever needed to flash the PASSIMG.

[end of PASSIMG method]

DO NOT LOGIN TO ANY SERVICE!

Execute: "adb install universalandroot.apk" (replace with the actual APK filename)

Root the phone

Install custom recovery (use flash_image guide from Wiki)

Reboot to recovery

Restore nandroid backup you've made.

After all that, you'll have your HBOOT changed, and the ROM with your data as they were.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tim4:
Its original korean rom, i think you cant flash it because:

1)Bootloader still locked. Korean nbh signed with key came from KT so there is nothing surprsing it says "Signature verify fall"

2)Custom recovery from RAmon wouldnt flash it too. I have no idea why, but seems like flash original roms just forbidden in RAmon's custom recovery. Dont know about Clockworks one

Where are you device came from?

If its an american one, download latest full american rom and flash it.

I hope it would help.

Another, shortest way: unlock your bootloader and flash whatever you want

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] poeticsoul44:
I have a mytouch 3G. The Magic 32B and It is running stock android 2.2.1 but rooted. I have been trying to flash it with CM6(is there something better?) and It doesnt seem to work. Everytime I try to flash it I end up getting the boot loop where it just keeps booting up the "Mytouch 3G" image. Hopefully someone here can help because stock froyo is really slow on the mytouch 3G.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mcjerica:
Are you wiping (factory reset) the phone before you flash the CM rom?

Changing ROMs requires a wipe, else you end up with the symptom you described. Settings and data won't match between custom ROMs and the phone won't know what to do.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] poeticsoul44:
Yes, I wipe the data and the cache before I try to flash but I get to continuous boot loop problem
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] XfooYen:
My guess is that you have a perfected SPL. Go into your bootloader (power + vol down). At the top if it reads "s - on" you won't be able to flash ROMs successfully. You will need an engineering hboot which will give you "s - off" status in your bootloader. If my suspicions are correct, you can do everything root gives you EXCEPT flash system ROMs. The bootloader's security is preventing it.

I located the ota radio update from cyanogens site but not sure what SPL is.. Can someone help me out with that and how I update it
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] XfooYen:
Honestly, if you're that new to hacking android, i wouldn't mess around with flashing radios and SPL. You're bound to brick your phone. Do some research. Search a lot and read. Basically, your specs show that you are on a perfected SPL and therefore won't be flashing ROMs. You will need to flash an engineering SPL and downgrade your radio to flash most Tom's.

[Streak 5 General] extrememonkey:
Ok, don't think this has been asked before, but if it has - firstly very sorry and secondly I just can't find a clear answer!

- What do you need to be running to be able to receive and install the official 2.2 update when released on an O2 locked Streak?

Since buying my Streak I have subsequently upgraded from the official 1.6 to Steves 2.2 v 1.1 possibly 1.1.1, I'm guessing I have changed the baseband as I don't recall what it was originally (currently 20321-EU and the kernal is 2.6.32.9)

I'm guessing I will need to downgrade to an old official version of Android but what too, and with what baseband?

Thanks in advance fellow Streakers

eM
[Streak 5 General] dead101:
2.1 official update 8105 + stock recovery base band 21-eu
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
Since nobody has actually been able to try it yet, nobody can say for sure what you'll need except that it needs to be unlocked v00 to get the earliest release.
[Streak 5 General] extrememonkey:
This stock recovery baseband you talk about is that what I'm currently running - 20321-EU???
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
That's the O2 baseband, your update will be in December with the rest of us.
[Streak 5 General] extrememonkey:
So does that mean I will still receive the OTA update without having to downgrade to 2.1 or 1.6 even with all the unofficial upgrades I've done???

as i mention in first post its 2.1 not 2.2 you have to downgrade it to 2.1 official

The ONLY way that you can get your alarm to turn off is to go a certain spot in your house detected by your GPS. This would make you to have get up and go to that spot.

[EVO 4G General] fastfed:
I can see this being a pretty DAMN EASY application to make.. I don't make apps..

But there is a program thats called "find my car" and its the same concept, mark a spot by using GPS and when you get back to that spot it says "found car"

So if someone was able to program using the codes from that program, i can see it being done fairly easy..

Mark spot for alarm to turn off, alarm turns on, walk back to marked spot and the alarm goes off..

In anycase, I don't see the point though, unless you are feeding a fish and you want to force yourself to walk to the fishbowl to remind you to feed the fish :)

I've been running settings similar to these recently and getting 'better' performance than my stock settings, so I'm inclined to agree with the OP here.

It's no where near what I'd call good performance though, my old HTC HD & Nokia 95 running TomTom had no issues keeping track on the road (mounted on the same windscreen position), whereas still GoogMaps Navigation will occationally position me on nearby roads by mistake. I think it's just going to be one of those things I'll have to live with.

That said, at least now I'm occasionally getting proper lock on the little navigation triangle when driving, not a 100m circle around it. So things are improving.
