Yesterday, I've upgraded without wipe, only wiped dalvik-cache, and it was perfect. (from rc2-to rc3, but I'm sure it'll be fine with rc1 too.)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
You don't need to wipe anything if you're going from an earlier version of SwiftDroid up to a newer version...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] scribbclubber:
not even need to wipe dalvik-cache before upgrading to rc3 ?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pRo_lama:
When you use recovery version you don't need wipe data. But if you have problem, you have to do wipe all data. :-)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
No need
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] scribbclubber:
ok thank guys but, have a different answer from pRo_lama and another one from fishears, can i have more details plz mates? since i bought my gt540 i'ved always upgrade using fastboot, so wats the best method to run rc3?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pRo_lama:
You need to find what is the best for you. I prefer recovery version, but sometimes I try fastboot. ;-)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] scribbclubber:
will do it fastboot way, as so far remember readings over forum i think fastboot give good results..

so cmd lines>>

fastboot flash boot boot.img etc.. ? thats it ?

oh never tried recovery, can you direct me to a thread on how to plz..?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
Just do

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fastboot flash system system.img
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pRo_lama:
Yes, you just erase boot.img, system.img and then flash new one.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] scribbclubber:
cheers man, sorry still having some doubt before upgrading..lol :-)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Quinny899:
Fixed it now. Turns out restoring something in TB (probably settings or something) causes it

(jv02 is my netbook's android dual boot's stock name by the way)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
I would recommend updates via recovery, because recovery version has an optimized applications.

Donno yet what realy optimized, but when rom has builded, firstly compiler create a fastboot images then compiler make some optimization on all application included in ROM and then pack all that in recovery zip update.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] deamonjones:
Mur4ik is the pre rc3 release same as the standard rc3 cheers m8

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] scribbclubber:

21 and a half hours on battery

Way better i used to get 17 tops im on 20% now ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] maneshvinod:
My battery only charges 99% any idea about this problem pls help me
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] crzy_frg:
Leave charging overnight, in morning it should be 100% charged. Then recallibrate by erasing battery stats. Drain the battery till phone shuts down. Recharge back till 100% do not pull out charger in between. Your problem should be gone now. This is how I solved my charging stuck at 99% problem :D

EDIT: On RC3 When my battery drained out putting in the charger did not brought up the LG logo. I had to take out the battery and then insert for charging to begin. Let me know if you also face this issue.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] crzy_frg:
Mine lasted 30 hours without any tweaks on RC3. On RC1/RC2 average was 46 hours. Will try to recallibrate and test again.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] maneshvinod:
I tried it before but it still stop charging on 99%
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
Clear bat stats and completly drain then recharge
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] StephenC82:
Isn't that a safety feature, not to completly charge the battery in order to preserve it longer ?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] zsohu:
For this 99% problem... I have never erased my battery stats or do a calibration or something and for eg. with RC1 I have my battery charged up to 100% but with RC2 or preRC3 I only have 99%. I experienced the same with previous versions too... So I don't believe in this wiping.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] koolxs:
I got the RC3, but I cannot overclock. I go to the CM settings menu, I go in min and max frequency buttons, but no vailable options appear in the window. Just the Cancel button. Anyone with the same problem?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
That right there is truly wierd ^^^^^^
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
All I can think of is to reflash the boot.img
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] revilo34:
it means that you overclock your phones to the standard speed that's why it cant display your 2d or 3d graphics try to reduce speed like 844mhz thats stable to rc3 and i score 1192 in benchmark

;) try to flash again.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Dhiraj:
no such problem found.you may reflash your rom.

ohh, totally forget this tutorial.. cheers man.

downloading right now.. will keep update.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Davserer:
will upgrading boot.ini which is linked at maybe m1 rom in the first post make any performance or battery life improvements?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] koolxs:
OK guys, I found it. It was me experimenting with RC3 system.img and M6 boot.img (trying to increase battery performance). Flashed only boot.img from RC3 and problem solved!

By the way, after 24h, I got 30% with a few calls, no gps, no wifi, no radio and some time with angry birds (not long though).
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
^^^lmao^^^

You can never say that and mean

it with angry birds
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] sisko26m:
@salahzantout

i can reading arabic sites ( alajzeera.net)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
Many people only like Android due to Angry Birds being free XD If you want to play Angry Birds, it's much better on iDevices or PSP/PS3. I have it for PSP it was only 1 or 2 quid off PSN Store. Much better than touch screen ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Jamielawther:
@Davserer Boot.ini? don't you mean .img ;)

It might, Or it might not work. All new features since M1-6 will NOT work however. Such as WiFi Tethering etc.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Chxrlyglez:
After upgrade preRC3 and RC3, my phone reboots along of times, only if i was taken off the sd card, boot ok, after boot i put inside my sd card and works perfectly. But if i reboot it, its the same :(

What happens with my pnone????

Anybody can help me??
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
Only flash thing i own is my droid lol
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] scribbclubber:
RC3 battery life is great, since unpluged after a (full charge @ 99%) over the night making calls, messaging wifi and googling around, still @ 80%. uptime now 18hr25... which is better than previous update,considering my experience of course;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
lol I got my PSP as a birthday gift from my nan. I barely use my GT540 for gaming now, mainly for Facebook, Texting and calling. Although I like playing Drag Racing from the Market now and again, I think it's one of the best (free) games for Android, the other ones don't tend to be that good haha
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
^ love dragracing ^

Also can we get bfs on our kernel??

Does anyone know
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
No but i think i sent mur4ik the patch to add it cant remember;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
Has anyone looked at 3.0 kernal theres alot of arm support in it maybe easier to port for us?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:
Awesome hopefully it can be added to rc4 :) or rc3.1
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] martin255:
What is "bfs"? I've just googled it, and it showed up Brain **** Scheduler xD

What the heck is this?:D
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
Its apparently better and faster than noop scheduler and yes thats what it stands for lol ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Danzano:

I have some error. RC3, and sometimes reboot without touch the phone. I found today 3 times my phone in recovery menu when i see it. :( How to debug this error?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] -Grift-:
happen to me on another rom. try formating data,cache and system and try again
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] wwenigma:
That was a clean RC3 install, i wipe all before install it. I reinstall RC3 later, now i clean cache and dalvik-cache.

Today updated Skype/Quick System info pro and FB client, maybe that. No OC. And i move back app dalvik cache files to phone with l2sd.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mind_challenge:
Shutting off

My phone still shuts off when it's locked. It just happened a minute ago. Everything worked flawlessly, and I locked it to save battery. I came back few minutes later, tried to unlock it and it was turned off. And this happens all the time on RC3. I tried overclocking, setting profile in setcpu to 600mhz when screen is turned off. At first I tried to do dalvik cache wipe, but that didn't help, then yesterday I did a full wipe and flashed RC3 but it still happens. It's really getting on my nerves now, and if it persists I will definitely switch to some other ROM.

edit: Oh, and the battery gets drained after turning it back on. Here are some screenshots of battery stats.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] jipjan:
Can't find it :S

Maybe cuz I have the premium app?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] SrkeeOSK:
My RC3 works well, got no problems, u guys maybe should try to wipe all and reflash

i install even all the apps and everything clear new every time when i upgrade and never had any problems.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] smg72523889:
i had the same problem 2times since i've been on rc3 - that doesn't happen on rc2, so maybe there is a little bug -> don't worry about it i'm sure mur4ik will fix it, but if you can't live with it downgrade to rc2

@Mur4ik: btw. i think both times that happend to me my battery was lower than 45% (1time definitly @ 40%) -> maybe this helps you
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] -Grift-:
OMG I WENT TO UMNOUNT AND TAKE OUT MY MEMORY CARD THEN IT HANGED AND REBOOTED INTO RECOVERY. FREAKY LOOKS LIKE MINE IS DOING THE SAME:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pRo_lama:
Thanks God that I don't have any of these problems. I could say that on this version I didn't notice any problems. I have preRC3 not public RC3. ;-)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] mind_challenge:
So, nobody knows what could be happening to my phone? It's also overheating, when it's locked, it started happening today. Whenever I lock it it becomes hot, and shuts down.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] effortless.:
Check your clock speeds in CM settings. Make sure that min is set to 245 or 320. Also ensure that the scaling type is 'On Demand' and not 'performance'
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Chxrlyglez:
Yes, my cpu speed is on demand and 245 - 806. Im back to RC2 because this problem. Only if i boot without sd card in RC3 and then put it back after finished the boot, works perfectly, but is so.....crazy bug.

I just had that strange reboot bug everyone is talking about. I'm running rc3, didn't touch the OC settings, i was just in the web browser when the phone rebooted, from cyanogen screen, not from swiftdroid screen.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Quinny899:
Can someone with the issue check their logcat and see if it's the "everything dies" issue I had when RC3 had just come out
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Chxrlyglez:
How can i get logcat??

Sorry my nebie question::::
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] eoghan2t7:
Use adb and type adb logcat > log.txt
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] m1st3r1:
i get that famous reboots too... 4 times in a row...

i think it's the problem with swap command.. bcause the swap wont create whatsover and whenever i activate the swap manually using terminal emulator, the famous reboots came again...

meanwhile i revert to rc2... i really need swap. without swap (in rc3), playing cut the rope is lagging.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Mur4ik:
I'm did not get my phone back yet, so I can find a solution with randomly reboots.

For those who have that issue, please, try to change system/etc/init.d/07swapon

from this:

#!/system/bin/sh
#
# find and enable swap
#

echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

# find swap partition
for PART in `seq 0 9`;
do
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p$PART
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
break
fi
done

to this if swap is third partition:

#!/system/bin/sh
#
# find and enable swap
#

echo 40 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

or this if swap is a second partition

#!/system/bin/sh
#
# find and enable swap
#

echo 40 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] :
I will be happy if You, Mur4ik, send me a pm with bt headset solution. Thanks :)

Also, Can you told me what changes you appiled to kernel (20c)

I promise, this is last pm :D
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] lukemovement1:
the simplelest way is to use

adb logcat

or

adb shell logcat

both acheve the same thing
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] Chxrlyglez:
Thanks Mur4ik, I will try it later

You are the best!!!!

Edit 1: At the moment, works great!!! dont random reboots anymore. I still test it.....
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] wwenigma:
I use 20 swapiness because over 30 the phone sometimes make is epic slowdowns. But i try it, set a fixed swap partition. Ty. :)

Now i cleared the dalvik cache and the cache, and move back to phone all Link2SD apps dalvik files. No reboot in the last 10 hours. Maybe moved dalvik cache files made this?

None of the 2.2/2.3 custom ROMs save to SIM.Just sync all your contacts to Google instead so you can restore your contacts.

Hi! I've noticed in the last few weeks, that the call end / screen off button doesn't work very well. I have to push it a lot to response, to switch off. I dont know if it's a hardware or a software problem with the rom. Do you have the same problem?
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] pRo_lama:
I've noticed this bug. When the call end the button behave curiously. :(
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] velvethun:
Not just at the end of calls. I just cant switch of screen sometimes.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
All three of my front buttons are getting worse and worse. Also the vol-down key (and partly the vol-up key) has to be pressed really hard to respond. It's even starting to seem like the search key is on its way to hell, too. The keys are just very poor quality, I guess, but for that price what can you expect? When I've had enough of it, I'll flash a 2.1 rom, and send the phone to be repaired under warranty... hopefully. :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] velvethun:
That's what i gonna do now, but I'm not sure i it's a software problem maybe...

I had it once, with ALL my photos from Thailand :(

I tried 10 different data recovery progs, and the one that (even after a format) recovered the most BY FAR, was this great prog: MinITool Power Data Recovery
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] m1st3r1:
yey... i have a solution (at least for me) to activate swap.

it appears that the rom cant (or wont) activate swap if the swap is in 2nd partition (without no ext partition). even when u change the 07swapon, to Mur4ik's suggest, it'll change the 2nd partition (which is swap partition) to ext3 (via those bootloops). creating a small ext3 partition as 2nd partition works great for me. and yeah, i think u still need to change the 07swapon.

really weird issue.. but im glad i can fix it. now my phone is working great again...
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] deamonjones:
Watch out homey sure it was activating this option blipped the sd! Some serious bug?

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] deamonjones:
Might of accidentally switched it on and left option checked without connecting USB? Don't advise doing same...lol

MY ANDROIDSKY
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fishears:
Actually, Clockworkmod Recovery will format your swap to ext when you wipe user data. But if you have an ext partition & a swap it will only format the actual ext part... I think this is the issue, not the swap script. If it happens open terminal & do "mkswap -c /dev/block/mmcblk0p2" to restore the swap format.

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] koolxs:
My experience about reboot thing is this.

A couple of days ago while I had the navigator on, in the car, I received a call and as I pressed the button to speak, the phone rebooted to cyanogen mod screen. This happened many times in previous roms too, and my experience says that practically it does not really reboot at all. It stays in this condition "for ever". You have to take out the battery in order to boot again normally.

What I noticed in all previous reboots, 95% it happened when I had the power cable on the phone and I was listenning to the radio and playing a game (eg birds) or surfing in the internet. At that time I saw that there was excess heat coming from the phone, so I conclude that the reboots have to do with excessive use of memory/processor and overheating. i am not an expert. This is what I have seen and I cannot tell as a doctor. I just write the symptoms. The few times that this occured without the power chord attached, I have the impression that it was because it ran out of memory or something.

Or it is just a combination of all the things. I dont know.

Also I still have battery issues. When it says: put on your power chord and I do this, within the first few minutes of charging, I get a 50% charge. Is it normal?

Also, quite a big problem for the phone's not funtctionning well is the sd card. The phone "loses" the card quite frequently, so all apps working from there (and ussually that have something already on the background) give a "shut down the app" window.

And please, put sim sychronization of contacts, if also other people find it useful. We may not use only an android phone as an alternative. So I believe that many people may need a sim backup. If the developers have in their mind fixing this, they should also try to make the phone mount all phone numbers of a sim card with the same name, in the same contact on the phone. Otherwise, it creates many contacts and because the number is not visible while browsing the contacts, you dont know whether you press tha correct one, and you make trials.
