Auto killer isn't like a regular task killer, it is a memory manager, and pretty much stays within the OS memory management system, it just tells it different memory limits to start killing processes. It works the same, just tweaks the memory limits that trigger when certain processes gotta go byebye. So, not REALLY a task killer.

I explained that like a total retard.

Ongoing GPS Problems

OK, here's my take on the ongoing gps problems, now bare with me, it may be convoluted. There seem to be several different results, force closes, reboots, blank screens, freezes, probably more, but pretty much the same, it stops working. This also seems to occur with several different application, in my case both navagation and Golflogix, so probably gps related, not application specific. The other common seems to be length of time, some state 15 minutes, some 30, some a bit longer, but usually somewhere in that range. Now what does a gps app do that other apps don't? Well my guess would be accumulate lots of data, satellite locations, past tracks or locations, nearby stores, etc., or other points of interest. Now there are probably tons more, but needless to say, tons of data, raw data that it is constantly having to be referred back to. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't part of the purpose and beauty of this rom that it gets more streamlined, with a smaller footprint all the time, that's what aids it in the quickness we all have come to love. Now what if at a certain point in time, seems to be about the beginning of March, something was either stripped out, or the the size of the file or location reduced, so that after a certain period of time, the file or location (sector, directory, cache, however it may be defined) just fills up with all this data. At this point, the apps may not know how to handle this occurrance, so they just puke in different ways ergo the results we're getting. Being that this always seems to be time sensitive, I would tend to think that the problem is data accumulation related in some fashion, the longer it's open, the more data it needs to accumulate.

Any way, maybe this will get some of you more intelligent people, who have a better understanding of the inner workings, to think of some brilliant solution. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rondietz1:
Great explanation, so it's more of a memory manager, not a task killer. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
well, it looks like you are getting the low internal mem warning, so my guess is that it has something to do with firerats, how much available space does your manage apps show?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Have you ran a logcat before? It should provide a little more info towards the inner workings of what's happening with the app or processes.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
I've also been of the suspicion that the GPS problems have been somehow related to memory management, but the last couple of roms that aosp has released have been quite a bit smaller than those before, which may make for more efficient memory management somehow. Also, I find it somewhat coincidental that JIT is now apparently working fine for a number of folks, which wasn't the case before now. I'm not sure exactly what JIT is or what it does, but it's pretty much agreed that it attempts to streamline certain operations, which may be of some benefit to the GPS issue of having to manage large amounts of mathematical data in a finite amount of free memory in real time. So there are several changes that taken together may have improved GPS reliability in the current build.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:
Go to your terminal emulator

Enter

su

logcat > /sdcard/logfile.txt

Do this before you run the app or GPS. After you get the reboot go back into terminal and hit the trackball for ctnl and hit c which should end the output of logcat and from there look on the root of your SD for the logfile.txt. gmail yourself that file and look at it from a computer. A lot easier on the eyes. It'll be quite a bit of text. Look for errors in there. Its gonna take some time. Copy those bits of text errors you can find.

I attemted to flash the latest recovery on the original post here and then implement Firerat's like I had it before and now I have no recovery and my phone won't boot. Stuck on the white HTC screen. How in the h*ll do I flash recovery again since I currently can't ADB to the phone to push it? I tried naming the recovery .img file to HERCIMG.zip and booted up into HBOOT but didn't work. Ideas?

I haven't been able to keep up with the thread since the middle of last week, so I've missed literally 50 pages! Sorry if these things have already been discussed but I just wanted to report in and mention a few bugs that I've come across.

1. Changed my memory settings and enabled JIT. Still getting GPS reboots, but now they are soft reboots to "Android" screen.

2. I've noticed that music playback has occasional slight pauses if I use the sd read ahead tweek.

3. When disabling the lock screen using the notification power bar it will sometimes get stuck on disabled and I have to restart the device to get the lockscreen to come back. I have tried using the power widget and the settings option, neither will bring it back.

Again, sorry if these have been addressed and I missed it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
Are you S-off? Here is a HERCIMG.zip. I didn't look to see if it was a 2.5.x or 3.x, but it has the android.txt in there and should work if you are S-off and in H-Boot. I would boot into recovery (and not just reboot) so that you can start over.

View attachment HERCIMG.zip
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
If I understand, you just renamed the .img file to HERCIMG.zip; correct? If so, then you did not properly create a flashable zip for flashing in HBOOT. You have to take the .img and combine it with a proper android-info.txt file and zip those two together into a file you will name HERCIMG.zip. Put that on your SDcard and flash it in HBOOT. Let me know if you don't have the android-info.txt and I'll post it for you.

*EDIT* DP beat me to it. Thx, DP.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Drunkpilot:
No problemo. I always keep one on my SD card just for these instances.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
if you aren't s-off, you'll have to wait for ADB, if you are do what 24601 and drunkpilot said.

1.) some people (rare) still have GPS reboots

2.) that's not the tweak, I suspect it will be fixed by the next CM source sync

3.) don't disable your lockscreen, or find another way to do whatever you're trying to do, which is what btw? I think you can "quick unlock" by setting it up in cm settings so you can press the trackball or menu button to unlock...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 24601:
LOL. I'm so paranoid, I keep a HERCIMG of the last two known working recoveries, an RUU to .7 and the .29 radio, 'cause I know one of these days my ORD is gonna get me in trouble :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NineInchNails:

I was reporting back on my findings as related to earlier posts:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12521606#post12521606

I noticed the player doing it the day after I applied the tweak. I unapplied it and listened to two hours of music skip free. Reapplied it and the skipping started again immediately. Unapplied, no skipping.

I just like to have no lock screen when the phone is out of my pocket on the desk or in the car. Definitely need it though when it's in my pocket. Wasn't really expecting a fix for this, just was bug reporting it. Sorry for the confusion, I should have been clear my original post.

EDIT: Itchy trigger finger.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
1.) I'd still go with rare, most people have good gps no reboots

2.) Huh, mine does it either way *jealous* - even before I tried the tweak

3.) oh, ok then, nvm.

Hey everyone, I've been off the boards for a couple days so I'm a little behind. I wanted to post an update regarding a couple new issues I've come across.

1. I've seen a couple instances of system fonts disappearing after a few hours to a few days of uptime. It's as if they just aren't there. The fonts reappear immediately after reboot.

2. I'm seeing the charge light randomly blink during charging and at one point flashing continuously when I came into the room. This is a slower flash/blink than what you would see with notifications. It's also important to note that I had no pending notifications during these times.

Please let me know if anyone else is seeing these issues. Thanks!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] il Duce:
1.) do you use a custom font? only reason I ask is some of those are incomplete, and can be unreliable. If you don't, I bet that's related to the screen popups not rendering sometimes, which some users still experience I think.

Yup, we lie, it's not only fun, but productive as well. JK. I would call my use "heavy" (use about 2 million bytes a month) and mine goes about 12-14hrs average. I would suggest calibrating your battery if you know your battery lasts longer than 6hrs on another ROM. I find the batt life in GB to be a little better than froyo.

My current testing setup is showing better results than that did but it still lasted me 24+ so I can always revert to it again.

Background sync causes a lot of drain also. Sure gmail wont notify you right away of an email but ill open it and refresh it myself. That's just personal preference if you want even better batt life.

hey GPS rebooters!

GPS: I just thought of something for you all to try. I was in another thread and remembered the old builds had the VM heap set to 48, and now it's 32. I don't remember when that changed or if it coincided with the GPS issues, but it's possible they were related. Go edit your build.prop and then try GPS. I have no idea if that will actually work, but there's some logic behind it, so maybe it would. I figured it's worth a shot, cross your fingers and report back with findings.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
@duce. I'm using the sd tweak 2048 with data2 ext2 and the default music app plays with no skip for me. Also the themed miui music app that's from kfunk thread plays fine as well. I always have music playing in the background while I surf xda. I'm usually playing music every day at least like two or three hours straight. My theroy was if I use the data2 ext for the extra internal mem and then use the sd tweak for faster read speeds. Then move all of my apps that I use often over to the sd since the card performs better it should make the apps perform better. So far its a nice setup. Just wanted to share the info.
