Way, way off topic

I know this way off topic, not looking to clutter here, if someone could just point me to another forum or link you'd make me very happy. I have an old htc touch, also known as a vogue or 6900, wm phone and I had a thought, why not make it into a fulltime media player for my car. Looking for possibly a non phone rom to flash this into just wm ipod! Any help would be appreciated.

He didn't add it as far as I know; it's just left over from the last time he grabbed that file from CyanogenMod (I hope). But as I've explained several times previously in several threads, that line doesn't actually do anything. The relevant source code shows that "debug.sf.hw" has an effect if an only if it is set to 0. That's why I submitted a patch to remove it from CM a long time ago, as well as another patch to get rid of more junk props.

For some other reason, several "devs" across several phones have followed suit in adding it, not realizing that it doesn't actually do anything. This is probably because at some point, some production phone shipped with it set to 0, disabling hardware composition by default. But setting the line to 1 is equivalent to removing it. The setting only exists for testing/troubleshooting purposes, e.g. when you're running your ROM image in an emulator or when your graphics stack is screwed up.

------------------

TL;DR -- debug.sf.hw=1 is the same thing as not specifying anything. Only debug.sf.hw=0 actually has an effect. I'm still not 100% positive that disabling hardware composition will make the problems go away, but it won't hurt anything to try it.

I am typically getting -95dBm 0asu

Attached screen shot shows almost NO green in the signal strength area. I can't say that I have issues with calls, however, my data speeds are pretty pathetic. Many of the screen shots I see have mostly green in the signal strength bar and are getting significantly better battery life.

I think that Sense shows the signal strength. I'll take phones side by side to compare the number.

Thanks!

So, I have a question. I am new using AOSP, was always using 2.1 Sense rom.

I set the mtd 130, 2, and I also set data2ext4. It seems that android only install apps to /mtdblock5, but not on my sdcard. How can I make it to install on my /mmcblk0p2 ?

Thanks!

(Since I use mtd, I don't even need to make this 256M ext4 sdcard partition, right?)

(And, for Quadrant, I could never get to 536 like someone said, mine is around 250-300 only.)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] c00ller:
Right. Choose one, as it doesn't make much sense to do both.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Yeah, you're right. I am one who gets awesome battery life, and I rarely get worse than -75dBm inside the house, unless I am in the basement. Even just a -25 difference will drain the battery faster... ;)

Thx, again. I had pulled the CM7 Final build.prop and compared it with aosp's 3/26 build.prop, and my brain apparently forgot to compute that CM7 would have been issued three weeks AFTER the 3/26 build; thus my improper thought that aosp had "added" the line. I did see your changes to remove some build.prop bloat. I'm gonna tweak the 3/26 with some of your modifications and see how it runs.

Do we know what the green means for reals or are we just guessing? It looks like it was green on your graphic maybe when you called someone?

-95 seems pretty good to me, I have 2 bars, am around 85 and get pretty good battery life.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] windtrader:
FYI - I was able to get things working again by formatting data,system,cache,dalvik,boot and reinstalling 3/26, Gapps, and FR-BOOT. I was able to reuse my TB backups to get the apps back, so the problem was not in bad TB files. I took a ClockworkMod backup after the initial reinstall of the ROM and that worked. I made another TB backup after recovering the apps and data using TB.

So it seems one of the main files got screwed and when trying to read to create TB backup it got into some loop and got stuck.

It seems quite rare but you never know who here might get hit as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] genuser:
Guessing on the green. Looked in the manual but it's still at the printer ;)

Home now and watching for a bit... I consistently bounce between -68dBm and -72dBm. Airave in the house. Bars are all over the map even no bars for long periods when signal strength shows -68dBm. No correlation.

Data connection bounces between 1x and 3g like every every 15seconds. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] norm12:
The airave messed with the data connection and you'll likely not get 3g when it is on. I heard there was a new airave that did both but the free ones they send out only are good for the cellular connection, not data or 4g
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
that kind of signal bouncing would definitely kill the battery off. it seems like you are bouncing of the tower and air thing repeatedly, move the thing, get a replacement, or just turn it off.

GPS report for rondietz1:

Today I recorded a nearly 2-hour, 15-mile mountain bike ride with My Tracks without any problem. Here's my current build:

3/26 build

JIT on

Compcache Enabled, 18%

Purge Assets Off

Surface dithering On

Swap On

32M VM Heap

Lock Home in memory

SetCPU 2.0.3

245/614 ondemand SetCPU screen-On profile

352/352 ondemand SetCPU screen-Off profile

CM Performance CPU settings same as SetCPU screen-On settings

PowerAMP music playing constantly

Airplane mode On (so GPS was operating in Standalone mode)

Stock kernel

dtapps2sd beta 4 (never have used firerats)

SD read-ahead mod 3072KB

AutoKiller settings: 60-20-94

ADW Launcher (Standalone version)

S-off and ENG-SPL Hboot (not that that matters, right?)

That setup has NEVER failed to give me rock-solid reliable GPS operation, except for a single instance when I used the video camera for about a minute to record an encounter with a bobcat, while I was also recording my bike route and listening to PowerAMP. In fact, I never even paused PowerAMP before turning on the video recorder, so Mavis Staple can be heard adding her rich flavor all during the video, lol. Anyway, the phone rebooted about 7 or 10 minutes after that, so it's possible that some alleged memory leak in the video operation may have contributed to the reboot. Other than that single instance, the setup I'm running has been 800% reliable running GPS.

So I don't know what is giving some people their problems with GPS (and I've had GPS issues myself in the past), but this setup appears immune.

In fact, that setup is astoundingly reliable, period. Runs indefinitely with no noticeable issues at all ... no memory leaks, no stumbles running any apps, no black screens, no lag anywhere, admirable battery life, everything works as it should. I'm very, very happy with my current setup, and would have no problem with living the rest of my Hero's life in it's current configuration.

For those following s0be's kernel thread, I did try that kernel but eventually came back to completely stock aosp 3/26 build again, if only because everything works so damn smooth when I stay with stock aosp.

Nice post OldJackBob! Appreciate your experience and will make a few adjustments based on it. I'm not far from it, as I made changes last time you posted your settings.

Thanks for the info, gives me some things to try. The one thing I noticed which could make a big difference in your setup is Airplane mode on, I would think this would save resources. Several posts after yours was laie1472, and what I will try that is common between your setups is using comcache (default, which I left, is off) and jit on. I thought jit was just to enhance game play, etc, but I'll give it a try. I still don't think cpu speed has any bearing, since I don't see it be a time sensitive item, the speed either works or it doesn't. It still has to be something that is different after 45 minutes, or an hour, or whatever time, that did not exist when turned on and everything runs fine. Anyway, thanks for all the good info.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
Actually, compcache default is Enabled, 18%.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oldjackbob:
CORRECTION: I meant to say that I have compcache Disabled.

Sorry for that mis-statement.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmccracken:
If nothing else, enabling Airplane mode while using My Tracks seems to save a ton of battery life.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
With jm's kernel heavy use 7-7 1/2 hrs. Medium use u 10-1/2.hrs

Light use 15-17.hrs

With sobes kernel really dont know. I do run the same setup on both kernel's but I only run sobes on the weekend when I'm not to busy. I'd imagine the same if had to take a guess. Since I tend to push my phone more than the average user battery life is a sacrifice. I've learned always to keep a spare battery and my charger. But a I get great stand by time.

So is S0bes kernel good to use for daily??? Or should we stick to the stock kernel. I heard some people getting wierd issues once the flash S0bes kernel. Is this wide spread or just specific to a few people???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nilxchaos:
Is the ROM still being actively developed?

Or is real life getting in aosp's way at the moment?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonmaloney:
The label is a bit ambiguous because the Heroc doesn't come with compcache enabled by default. But on phones that do, it defaults to 18% because that is (usually) the best starting value based on how compcache actually works

[Hero CDMA Android Development] pstevep:
it just depends mostly.. the kernel likes ondemand governor the best and it works the best with it.. so if you prefer to not use that governor, then you may not like it.. it takes a couple minutes to warm up after it installs.. the longer you use the kernel the better it gets.. i have been running s0be's kernels as my daily since the end of February.. i dont have a lot of the problems posted by others, and most of the problems stem from the governor issue.. i recommend trying it out for yourself, just make sure you wipe your dalvik first..

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cybertimber2007:
AndroidSense automatically blocks callers when it senses you don't like them, through either AngryVoice scanning or AngerPulse scanning. The HeroC doesn't support AngryThoughs scans though.

No, the only way to block someone is by doing it manually. Maybe you meant to hit a button above or below "blacklist"?

My build.prop always says blah-blah.compcache=0, no matter what I set it to in cm settings. Tho, I do see swap when I check in terminal emulator. Is there someplace else that enables it to be 18% , and the 0 in the build prop just means enable and 1 would be disabled? I thought the number in the build prop was s'posed to be the actual percentage integer

Yes the number in the prop is the actual percentage 0 (default by aosp). CM settings overrides the build.prop with percentage 18 (default by CM). CM settings also override the settings for purge assets, JIT, brightness, etc. etc.

Anyone having problems with Visual Voicemail?

First off, thanks so much for this ROM. I'm very impressed as to how it transformed my Hero into a monster. I've managed to get everything up and running except the "Sprint Core" file I installed which has the Visual Voicemail. When someone calls and leaves a VM, it constantly says that it cannot be retrieved and will try again once data connections are up. I can text and surf the web so I know data is up and running. Am I missing something? Is there a new version to reflect the 2.3.3 Android build?

Thanks in advance.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
Thanks for that tip. I have a few numbers blacklisted from various people/businesses :) and always had to remember to write them down when I would do a full format. No more no more.

Do you know how it works? i.e. does it reject the call completely, or can they still leave a message? In other words, does the caller know they have been blocked?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DJB628:
If you really want to blacklist a number without having to worry when flashing, try Youmail service, that has other options also, like leaving custom message fore each contact, you can say your number has been disconnected, etc.. and many more features, and yes it is free
[Hero CDMA Android Development] majikfox:
This is a little off topic, but if you're using Google Voice you can go into your GV account and click the down arrow, then select "block caller" to blacklist numbers.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
I'm not sure how it works... can't remember. But, I ~DO~ know this: if you want your vvm to stop working, blacklist 9016 there. I had it BL'd for a while, forgot I'd done it, and was griping from here to Mars about vvm not working. Even called sprint to complain..... me = buffoon.

:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
To answer my own question...the caller would know they are blocked (kind of) blacklisting them through Sprint's website. My wife got home and I tried blocking her # and calling my phone. The caller hears "The person you are trying to call is not accepting calls at this time"

Doing it in call settings on the phone is more... stealth ;) The caller hears rings and can leave a message.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ch1naski:
I like that: caller hears rings....altho, some people might feel like your just ignoring their call since it's ringing. I wish it would say something like "go f@ck yourself. Leave a message."
