Boot Issue

I have run into this problem in the past.

The two things that have usually fixed it are either rebooting and letting it sit for about 10 minutes. ( This was my solution during the early development phase)

The second is that the initrd.gz is not the correct one and if this is the case then I will have to recreate the install upload to replace the one that is included with the proper one. The issue is that the initrd.gz is looking for the image file and not the ext2 partition.

Here is the correct one:

www.kizzmyanthia.com/WMD/initrd_ext2.zip

If neither of these answer the issue let me know and I will try to work through it with you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vtec_screamer:
I've managed to fix it. I suppose I must have made any mistake the first time I've tried. Started from scratch and it's working now. A little bit slow but it's running on a mobile phone. of course.

Thanks and once again, congratulations for this fantastic job.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kizzmyanthia:
The slow speed was a MAJOR issue for me as well. I have gotten the speed of boot to be increased by 300% by adding the swap partition to the boot sequence.

when you have booted WMD: FFB Edition 0.1 open a terminal and enter the following:

**LIVE VERSION ONLY**

echo '/sdcard/swap.img swap swap defaults 0 0' >> /etc/fstab

**INSTALL VERSION ONLY**

echo '/dev/mmcblk0p3 swap swap defaults 0 0' >> /etc/fstab

********IF YOU HAVE CHANGED THE DRIVE DESIGNATION THIS WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY, LET ME KNOW AND I WILL TRY TO HELP TROUBLESHOOT**********

This will add the swap partition or swap image to the boot sequence and you will see an all around speed and performance increase.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] HDR:
I'm having an issue with the live version, its trying to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 as ext2, instead of mounting the image file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kizzmyanthia:
Initrd for wmd: Ffb live edition

Ok, something got backwards when i made the package i guess...

----PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT---

KIDS DON'T PROGRAM AFTER 3AM.

And now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Any way

Here is the proper INITRD file for the WMD: FFB 0.1 Live edition

http://www.kizzmyanthia.com/WMD/WMD_LIVE_INITRD.zip
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] HDR:
Thanks, that got it working. I also had to rename the .img to ubuntu.img before it would boot. When do you expect version 0.2 to be out?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kizzmyanthia:
WMD: FFB Edition 0.2

Working on it now, have some package updates, sound updates, and more that I am currently working into it.

Hope to have this posted in the next week or so.

THANKS FOR CHECKING THIS OUT!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kizzmyanthia:
WMD: Living Dead Edition 0.2!!!!

That's Right 0.2 WILL BE HERE SOON!!!!!!!!!!!

I am currently uploading the live version. The install version will be going up right after.

This one includes the swap, has a new kernel, and is based off of Ubuntu 9.04 just for starters. :D :D

Soooooooo.........

I have watched this post grow in views, have heard of a few people that have tried it, and have seen 130+ downloads.

YET!

No feedback.

hmmmmm, must be perfect!!

I mean, I know I really like it, I have used it a few times now for some work related items.

Anyone out there? Anyone tried it? Anyone find bugs? Think it is sweet? Anything?

**Looking for feedback for 0.3**​

I have a few items that I will be working in, but looking for more info, more devices, etc.​
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snowplow:
I REALLY want to try it, but I don't have an 8gb micro sd card :(

Wait... would the live version fit on a 2gb card?

I want connect to Ad-Hoc using my mobile wi-fi anybody can tell me how to do that??
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] merrymenvn:
GT540 can't connect to adhoc network.

You should install connectify, your pc will become an access point which gt540 can connect.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Reaper:
Well, it's not a problem with that the GT540 cannot connect to ad-hoc, it's that android does not support it at the moment. (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82)

It seems to be possible be changing/adding some lines of code in the kernel, but I do not know of a custom kernel for the gt540 which has this feature enabled. Still looking for it myself
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mejack03:
Connectify will work only on Windows 7 :(

[EVO 4G General] terrel_b:
I got a version 4 on 11/1, but software build was .29, (and I'm assuming hboot was .97 as rooting was simple) so it depends on hboot and I believe software build, not on hardware version.

You could try to copy haret.exe and the other exe-file (dunno his name :D) again. If that doesn't work format your card and set it up again.

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I've tried several, with similar results. HD playback is very finicky with this device, at least as of this writing.

I have heard people state that h.264 720p works, but I have yet to see this in full 16:9 mode. 2:35 does seem to work. If someone has a file for me to test, I'll certainly download it. I hope that I can be proven wrong, here.

Have you tried Act1 video player? I have used it for over a year on my Adroid phone and it will play pretty much anything. I installed it on the gtab earlier and playback is just as smooth as my computer. Plus it has the option to change aspects to suite the screen. One of the options, Full(stretch to full screen) looks great while playing an avi or any other format on the Tab.

Google voice

No voice but texting works. :D

Steps I took

on my evo fully installed voice (switched roms recently didn't have it installed)

used Titanium to back up the app

Copied the 3 files to my titanium folder on the g tab

Restored the app

Lauched google voice. Got to where it said configure inbox then went back back back back to exit

inbox popped right up.

YMMV

Drag and drop any other icon which you need on top of it.
[G Tablet General] jdnyc:
Thanks for the phone icon tip. One (hopefully) last question for a while. I'm using TnT Lite and have ADW. How do I change the wallpaper on my main screen? I can't find this option either. Really tried to find it but failed.
[G Tablet General] artisticcheese:
Long click on any empty space on your screen and choose wallpaper

Hi everyone,

I'm very new at this site and not sure if it is the right place post the thread but anyway.

A friend of mine and I are especially interested in cooking Cookie Home Tab widgets. We are located in Russia and primary doing iPhone development but I have some win mo relevant experience.

We got a few things working like google search and notes.

As for now it is buggy and design is ugly=)

We'll continue our work and finally I hope will release a widgets pack.

I'd like to get some help :

1. Please vote for widgets that you like most of all

You can post Android or Yahoo widgets links for reference

2. We are looking for a designer who can make it all look better and work on skin packs

I will put it all together at my site next week.

Please let me know your thoughts

I would appreciate any feedback

Our first priority would be new functionality but not the port of existing one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mick_86:
I like the idea. Will take a look from implementation perspective.

It would be great if you can workout some screen shots for "Alarm","Search" and "Quick Notes" in "windroid" look and feel.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
If you need any help with skins for the widgets then I'd be happy to help.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] baybenbey:
Yes but it is a very small button and it comes with digital clock which is unnecessary. Also it is hard to tell if the alarm is on or off by looking that button.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mick_86:
Right now the widgets that are in progress do not have any skin at all.

It is just an input box for search and white area for notes.

I'd like to get some ideas for design.

It should be simple, intuitive and follow general manila look and feel.

I would appreciate any art works for now.

We can make a simple voting and choose the most popular to apply.

However I'd like to provide several skins and layouts for each widget in future.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mick_86:
I hope we would get some visual presentation for the alarm widget.

Please feel free to post any suggestions.

The implementation looks pretty simple if we gonna use standard alarm to grep some data. I will take a look and get back to you soon.

this was orignally posted somewhere else since is not only related to my phone so here it goes :

1st _ I set up all my things then before I stared theming did a nandroid backup , (using rom manager ) so when I decided to revert it only restored my system , not the rest , what did I miss ?

2nd this is related to metamorph , I noticed I had to apply morphs twice for them to apply and sometimes phone would reboot and only half was morphed .. I know I know classic metamorph behavior ..

my previous phone was a Motorola Milestone not only the nandroid back up method was 'more detailed ' but we had a 'metamorph script' using the file called 'zip' inside mm's apk we could run this from inside the recovery witch basically eliminated all reboot problems or other problems associated to theming a file 'in use' ot also eliminated the need for xml file , anyways if any dev can have alook at that 'open recovery' its how it called on the milestone with its built in script ...

This might not be the right fourm but could someone please tell me why HTC phones are twice as fast than the Epic on linpack? I've tried a EVO and a Droid Incredible, both get a score of 32.500! Why?
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
Because JIT is optimized for Snapdragon processors, you see more performance boosts with those phones. However, mere benchmarks do not translate to real world performance whatsoever. My Epic is faster than any phone that's out there. Never go by benchmarks, lot of them are as useless as the Windows Experience Index crap. Our phones have the better hardware, when official Froyo is out and devs get the source, you'll see how powerful it really is.
[Epic 4G General] romanmb:
Because linpack performance does not equal real life performance.... I also recall reading that linpack has not been optimized for the epic's processor. However, try 30 seconds using an evo and compare it to the epic and you'll have your actual answer
[Epic 4G General] adamw1101:
I think they are a 128 bit system versus 64 bit. But all I hear from evo user is the epic is faster
[Epic 4G General] spiicytuna:
Just like cars, there's always someone faster...I think it is pure ignorance to state you alone have the fastest phone in the whole world. *shrug* For me my user experience is awesome and i know firsthand that benchmarks don't tell the whole story and can be faked. With tmpfs and a little knowhow anyone can 3000+ on quadrant.

Sent on the go from my mobile device
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
I didn't mean to come across as arrogant. I didn't mean I alone have the fastest phone in the world at all. I meant with everything that's out in terms of OC'd kernels, Epic owners in general have faster phones than practically any other out there (currently). Benchmarks are not high, but that does not translate to real world performance which is what I was getting at.
[Epic 4G General] chgu:
Essentially what has been said before: Linpack has been compiled and optimized for the other processor. Someone has to write code for each specific processor in order for it to take advantage of each one's architecture. Back when Intel's Nahalem chips came out, similar results were observed (I used to build HPC clusters).
[Epic 4G General] adamw1101:
Try nenamark1. The epic smokes the evo in that test
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Simple, linpack is a test checking for raw CPU power via floating points..Snapdragon has a thing called a VFP which is a Floating Point Accelerator...

Aka instead of checking raw CPU power of the CPU..your checking how fast the the VFP processes floating points lol..

To give an example, its like one person actually taking a test, while the other is copying off an answer sheet..who will be the fastest?
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
If you go by benchmarks that have not had their code optimized for the Snapdragon, where it is more apples to apples (it will never be completely apples to apples), the Hummingbirds generally come out on top.

Plus, if you look at gaming, the FPS on the Hummingbird is much faster. Of course, CPU and graphics benchmarks are quite different.
[Epic 4G General] Zei:
It has a keyboard
[Epic 4G General] abmcbride85:
I'm pretty new to android phones but I did my homework before i decided on my epic. My wife wanted the Evo for the larger MP camera and bigger screen so we ended up with one of each. Form the time i've spent on my wife's evo and the time she has spent with my Epic we both have to agree that the Epic preforms far better in realworld test. The scrolling is smother and it has a better overall experience than the evo. So forget about benchmarks... just try one head to head and you'll see which one is the better device..
[Epic 4G General] MysteryEmotionz:
I've said this before and will say it again. My rooted evo with cm6 and oced to 1.12 ghz isn't as smooth as my epic was out the box. My evo gets 1500 on quadrent while my epic gets 1100 with no jit. Now you tell me wich phone is faster?
[Epic 4G General] crabjoe:
The person taking the test will be faster since the copier has to wait for the answers.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Facepalm...
