Just to confirm, DT on stock and Cog recognized the playlist from iTunes or from wherever you imported it from and still was able to go to the external SD card?

If so, would you go so far as saying that it only works on Captivate based ROMs only?

If so, then I am really keeping my eye on Ryude, DG, and others developing for the KB1 based ROMs!!!! :-)

Anyone know what kswapd0 is and why WatchDog reports it as taking up all my resources?
[Captivate Android Development] jivy26:
Crappy app perhaps

[ROM] Precision 3.5 [Kernel] Suckerpunch #51
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Kernel swap maybe, which kernel are you using and what tweaks enabled?
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
Suckerpunch #51, 600Mhz -75UV noop scheduler (sound familiar? :) thanks) with JIT enabled

I gave up on WatchDog, I'm a task killer and a over-flasher... I'll admit it. I am a little curious as to what that is, I found an article that I have to read that references it so if I learn something I'll let you all know
[Captivate Android Development] jivy26:
Lol you flashed like 4 times the other day lol over flasher is a understatement

Can you access ADB and run these commands for me?

adb shell
su (press allow on your phone when the prompt comes up)
busybox sysctl -a | grep dirty

It will return a few values, let me know what those are.
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
gimme a sec, only used ADB once before and my hard drive has been replaced since then so gotta redownload the SDK
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Don't download the SDK, use this.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
hey, does anyone know where I can get a working swipe for this ROM? thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5

vm.dirty_backgroun_bytes = 0

vm.dirty_ratio = 20

vm.dirty_bytes = 0

vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs = 2000

cm.dirty_expire_centisecs = 1000

sysctl: error reading key 'net.ipv4.route.flush': Permission denied

sysctl: error reading key 'net.ipv6.route.flush': Permission denied

So I'm hoping you explain what all that means to use ADB-dumb people
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Now do this in ADB:

adb shell
su
busybox sysctl -w vm.dirty_background_ratio=10
busybox sysctl -w vm.dirty_ratio=40
busybox sysctl -w vm_dirty_writeback_centisecs=500
busybox sysctl -w cm_dirty_expire_centisecs=300

dirty_background_ratio = minimum amount of RAM (in percent) to use before paging to virtual memory.

dirty_ratio = maximum amount of RAM (in percent) to use before paging to virtual memory.

dirty_writeback_centisecs = how long to wait before paging out of memory to storage.

dirty_expire_centisecs = how long to wait before something I don't remember.

You don't want to use virtual memory, so we increase RAM usage instead.

Back with the Captivate Stock ROM, the phone showed up in DoubleTwist as two mass storage devices. I could then select the one that matches the external SD and choose to sync music to that one. Playlists loaded up too, though sometimes I had to reboot the phone for that to work.

According to what I've read on the DoubleTwist website, it isn't suppose to sync to external SD.

Since I'm running Precison 3.5 now, I've settled on syncing DT to internal SD for now. Only one of the phone's mass storage devices will show up in DT now. If I eject the internal SD, reopen DT, it will show the external SD, but only music files get synced, the Playlists don't actually load in the DT Player app.
[Captivate Android Development] JStar1033:
is anyone able to provide a services.jar that enables the clock and allows the haptic button to light up when you touch the screen?
[Captivate Android Development] Jeff Kirvin:
MDPI?

Ryude, any chance we could get the next version of the Monochrome theme to support multiple DPI values? I prefer to run at 200dpi versus the standard of 240, giving me smaller UI elements and more overall space.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Grab any other ROM and pull out the their swype.apk and libswypecore.so files and drop them in the appropraite folders. Reboot.

However, if you want the themed one that came with 2.0, then do a search for one of my previous posts how to get it working.
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
Ah gotcha. So is this something I'll have to do with each flash?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
No, it is saved in a file.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
thanks for the help!
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
awesome, thanks (took me a couple times since I typo'd the last line to you so had to figure out why it wouldn't take your commands :facepalm)
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
You should notice higher RAM usage, but that isn't a bad thing.
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
have anyone tried SecularNun Theme with precision 3.5? Does it work? What about other theme indications for this ROM?

thanks for the help and sorry for all the questions! :D
[Captivate Android Development] davwman:
I'm running the nun theme. Its nice on precision. Light weight and not overdone.
[Captivate Android Development] davwman:
Ryude, have you looked into the Armani jl2 modem? It works in my opinion better than kp1 and are you going to support precision anymore or are you moving on?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I am still working on precision, just right now I am spending more time working on the Captivate ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
I believe it was JL2 before he went back to KP1
[Captivate Android Development] jivy26:
Look at jay acting all smart and stuff lol. I dropped down to 600mhz last night at -100 still running smooth. There is no difference in performance I'm wondering if voltage control is just there to make me feel better. Only thing I notice a difference in is going from hspda to 3g.

[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
It's no act... it's a blind stab in the dark :)

I'm noticing a bit of lag when I play Rocket Bunnies (GREAT game by the way) running at 600, so I'm bumping back up to 800 (tho I may just go to Speedmod or Firebird)
[Captivate Android Development] jivy26:
I've used firebird I'd go with speedmod if you are going to switch. I rarely play games so probably y I don't have that lag issue also can't post link here but google applanet and thank me lol

If anyone needs the metro icons for Launcher Pro, I found them on the internet and have attached a zip.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
I am waiting on ryude's new ROM Torch to get a little further in development before I try it out.

While I am waiting I decided to try out Serendipity as it seems really popular and a lot of people have a lot of good things to say about it.

I found that the theme is beautiful, but its more sluggish and WAY more battery draining than Precision.

I was going to just hold out and use it until a new Torch comes out, but going from full battery to DEAD turned off in less than 10 hours? Couldn't do it. Back on Precision and enjoying my battery lasting all day.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
Ryude, I get the following message trying to revert from another ROM....

E:Failure at line 86: set_perm 1000 1000 0771 DATA:app

Any idea on why it is happening...?
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Tried Torch out for a day and was overall satisfied with it, but the lacking of an extended power menu, accurate battery, etc. made me switch to Cognition 4. When those things are added to Ryude's Torch, I'm coming home!
[Captivate Android Development] bumbernut:
Same boat here, I'm hoping Ryude can give us the performance and battery life of Precision, but with a true Captivate base. Trying out Cog4 right now, battery life seems "okay", i like to give it a few days a real world use before making any decisions on the quality of a rom.

Ryude fan here.
[Captivate Android Development] bumbernut:
I had similar results with Serendipity, Precision was the first ROM I ever ran from more then a day.

Did I get spoiled ? I have yet to try anything else with same performance/battery life. I hold out hope for Torch. I want to run a ROM that has a true Captivate base.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
+1 me too!
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Yep, that's what I've been doing. I know the DT team is working on the external SD portion. Hope they figure that out, but I'm good with the internal 16GB so far.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
The only reason that would fail is if there is no data/apparently folder to set permissions on.

My rom installs a voltage control app in data/app, so it should work.
[Captivate Android Development] lowtaren:
Exchange 2003 SP2

Hi

I started testing with Cognition 3.04 last week and moved to Precision 3.5 this week. It seems that the scheduled syncs do not work properly. When I schedule the device to use Exchange Activesync with an Exchange 2003 SP2 server at a interval of one hour:

Cognition 3.04 syncs very consistently at 10 minute intervals (notifies of new messages immediately)

Precision 3.5 syncs at about 10-15 minute intervals (but does not notify of new messages until the proper hourly interval that was set) (i know it is syncing every 10-15 minutes because I can check the Exchange Server for sync history)

Has anyone seen similar issues or know the cause/solution? On the official AT&T Captivate Eclair 2.1 ROM I never had this issue.

Thanks!

Samsung Captivate AT&T
[Captivate Android Development] bumbernut:
I tried out Cognition v4 today, the battery life was no where near that of Precision. Has anyone else tried it out ? Results ?

I'm fairly new to this, but what is ryude or ther dev's doing to get such a big difference in battery life ?

Holding out hope for torch, all I want is a ROM that has a captivate base and decent (15-20 hours) battery life
[Captivate Android Development] florelui001p:
Where is the voltage control app located to delete it, im using the firebird kernel so I have no need for it. Thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Go to settings > applications > Manage Applications. In there you can uninstall it just like any app you get from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] florelui001p:
thanks! I was looking in the system/app folder. One more noob question, any idea why I can't access lbstestmode? I've tried creating a shortcut using launcher pro but it doesn't appear on the lists of activities.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I removed it, sorry. I will try to include many more services in the next version.
[Captivate Android Development] florelui001p:
Ah ok that explains it, no worry! Thanks! Looking forward to what your cooking up next
[Captivate Android Development] thatclaw:
Me too! NOLA
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Two humble requests:

1. Remove Battery Full Notification.

2. Add "Disable USB Debugging Connected Notify" tick-option under Development Settings.

I imagine a tick-option could be used for the battery full notification, but I simply listed them how I know they've been done in other ROMs.

Perhaps I'm a stickler for removing unneeded things? Idk, but both annoy me. Full notification wakes me up, and the USB Debugging notification is a waste of space when I leave it on all the time for programs like Autostarts or Titanium Backup.

LOVE the ROM & theme except for these two things. Keep up the great work!

So I have started working on precision again, I would appreciate any suggestions you guys have.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Honestly last time I used it, it was nearly perfect
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
That's weird cause I have found so many ways to improve it...
[Captivate Android Development] florelui001p:
Any hints on the next update ;)
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
More gps tweaks, more theme improvements, removed power full notification, removed alarm and debugging icons, added clock back, added more services and apps, gonna try to put themed swype back in, some more tweaks for performance and battery. New kernel and modem.

A lot of stuff, but I am always looking for suggestions.
[Captivate Android Development] florelui001p:
Awesome! Sounds great can't wait, I'd always thought the notification drawer would look better if it was semi transparent. Maybe you could make it optional for those who want it.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
If I make the notification bar transparent, it will cause problems when you pull it down. Like the date will overlap any notification icons on the left side.

The pulldown background itself I can make semi-transparent without any problems though.
[Captivate Android Development] florelui001p:
ah ok,i actually meant the pulldown background sorry for the confusion
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
If you do this, any way we can get a separate CWM zip or something to be non-transparent?

I'm trying think of of specifics I'd like to see but it seems like so long ago that I used Precision (you know, like 3 day... whew!). So I'm just looking forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve since KB1 isn't working out too well yet (hopefully just "yet").

I think the only thing I was wondering about was putting the circles around the icons in the phone application
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I had a few in a previous post, but here ya go:

1. Reset contacts menu after exiting and entering again.

2. Capitalize the "r" in "rotation" in the pulldown menu.

Ok. Gonna restore my back up now of Precision prior to flashing Torch. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Jay_eS_Iye:
oh yeah, and tweak the theme in MMS so that the message bubbles for To and From are different shades to distinguish them better

You thinking about doing the white theme for Precision?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Ya I am gonna do the white theme for precision.

I think KB1 is so bad because samsung just threw a bunch of **** together, it feels so unfinished in every way.
[Captivate Android Development] bumbernut:
So is Torch development on hold ?
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
On hold until I can find a way to get around some of the big issues. I tried using libs and apps from other ROMs, but they are not compatible. Even using framework/libs/apps from another ROM wouldn't work.

It's just way too buggy at this point, samsung might release an update but we all know how long that will take.
[Captivate Android Development] bumbernut:
can you remove all the video calling stuff, since we can't do any of that stuff ?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
where are there references to video calling?
[Captivate Android Development] bumbernut:
in the contacts, there is an option to place a video call.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
Ryude,

one thing i have noticed on this rom, and i dont know if its from me messing around with apks and swapping files out here and there, when you connect a USB cable and you go to mount, the button reads 'USB connected'

once mounted the button reads 'Connect USB storage'
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Yeah, the stock theme is kinda fugged up. The monochrome theme fixes that. I can fix it in the next version.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Good eye, I'll see about removing it.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
Would love to see a fixed stock version

Sent from my HTC Vision
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
All you have to do is copy res/layout/usb_storage_activity.xml from the monochrome theme to the stock theme framework-res.apk and it fixes that problem.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Can you link the zip to enable in the op ir 2nd post? Ill prob end up back on precision if you stop deving Torch

I might have found the reason why I've been having problems. But I will go ahead and put the jit enable link in 2nd post.

I thought battery life was better on 2.0 thanlater versions but that could just have been me. Have to think back otherwise. Running torch right now.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
2.0 was JS3 base iirc. Have to check which kernel and modem it was using as well.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
what about the buttons when something comes up asking for permission? like google voice or reader for example. instead of allow and deny, i get one button that says permission requested and one that is off kilter and says %permission requested%

i will get a screenshot after i flash one of my phones here in a little bit.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Just post all the problems you find and I'll fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
fixed it by copying /res/layout/grant_credentials_permission.xml from your theme also
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I'm back on Precision v3.5 with Monochrome after a short hiatus into the world of KB1 with Cognition 4 and Torch. I missed Voodoo sound too much, not to mention the other perks of these cooked kernels. Flashed the newest Suckerpunch-Voodoo #4 and this ROM is running really smooth. Was able to theme swype using dizx's method once more and really happy to be back to this ROM as my daily driver. I don't expect to flash another ROM until KB1 source drops(whenever that is) and it gets cooked up.

I'd like to see a few of the features that were in Torch carried back to Precision(rotary lockscreen, stay awake, etc.) but other than that this ROM is exactly what suits my needs currently.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
How is bluetooth? Voice quality good? Do you have Voice dial control from the headset?
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Voice dialing from BT working just fine. Call quality over BT has been good thus far and sound is great.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
So you can press the button on your BT earpiece and make the phone call with out touching the phone?
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
+1, BT voice dial working great. I miss the Star Wars lockscreen from Torch though. :D
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Yes, indeed.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Yeah I have the Plantronics Backbeats and I can hold the button on the left earpiece and it activates Voice Dialing, working great as well.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:

[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
That's pretty a pretty sweet set up. I prefer not having anything on my homescreens though.

Can't wait for the white theme. Anxious to see the difference.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
I'm happy to announce that I am getting more help now and possibly another dev will join up to work on Precision with me. I will let you know how things go, just wanted you all to know that development seems to be picking up.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Good to hear
[Captivate Android Development] Coak5:
Is there anyway to get just the icons from your Precision theme for use in ADW or LauncherPro?
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Cool! More beers or coffee all around!!
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Screw the drinks, how about some food!
[Captivate Android Development] Coak5:
Hey ryude. Is there anyway to get your icons from the Monochrome theme for ADW or LauncherPro? I looked into the zip and found no pngs or anything.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Which icons are you interested in.
[Captivate Android Development] Coak5:
I was thinking all the icons that were customized with circles such as your phone icon, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
There is only 2 custom icons, the rest are stock.
[Captivate Android Development] Coak5:
Oh, alright then. Thanks ryude.
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
Perhaps a tricky request.

I don't know if you're familiar with the app called Tasker, but there's an option to add a "Net" task action titled "Mobile Data 2G/3G" that is supposed to allow you to toggle between the two, depending on how you use the task of course. I had planned to set it up to switch to GSM when my phone screen is off, then switch to 3G/H when I turned on the screen, or better yet only after I unlock it.

For some reason it is greyed out and upon selection it says, "Sorry, that action is unavailable on this device."

Going to the Userguide for Tasker, under "Mobile Data 2G/3G" it only states:

... This action is not possible on a standard Android ROM.

Also in Tasker's changelog under Additions it states, "action Mobile Data 2G/3G (Cyanogen only)".

I'm not sure on the exact changes you would need to do to get this to work on Precision ROMs too, but to me it sounds a bit tricky.

On a side note, I read that you plan to/have already removed the USB debugging/battery full notifications for the next version. Thank you! Can't wait to reinstall everything! :)
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Yeah I have tried tasker before, I didn't like it because it never seemed to work. Maybe I just didn't know how to write the tasks, but it just did nothing (except use cpu resources and drain battery).

Juice Defender Pro can do this for you automatically though, just buy it I think it is worth it if you are constantly using your phone all day.
