Hello

How i can replace the modules on ext4 with windows ???

Can i ???

using the root explorer in our phone
or install ubuntu is the fastest way

[vakaloka]

I think this has something to do with the fact that this doesn't work for people who has installed android on the sd card... I also tried deleting dalvik-cache... but no success

I have installed android in internal storage.

Here are my results with the new zImage:

old zImage    +  new modules installed  = boot (no phone signal/no wlan)
new zImage  +  new modules installed  = not boot
new zImage  +  old modules                     = not boot

Kernel a plus modules b and vice versa will never work.

yes, to make it clear
new zimage + modules installed = not boot
new zimage + old modules =boot (no vibration/phone signal/camera)
old zimage + new  modules installed =boot (no vibration/phone signal/camera)

Sorry for the late reply. I think I know what's the cause. It's the param.ko - the samsung legacy code that caused all those troubles. I stopped loading it in my first few days of hacking. The code doesn't do much but is ugly as hell.

To fix, comment out the insmod param.ko line in init.rc, or simply remove the ko file. It shouldn't have been built in the first place, but I just forgot to kill it in the config. Your line should look like:

#insmod /modules/param.ko

And it should work no matter where you installed the system, sdcard or otherwise, so long as the modules reside in the /modules directory of the root filesystem (or more precisely, where your startup scripts can find them.)

@erikcas: I read somewhere you are running B7610, right? I only own an I8000, and likely you won't be able to use the binaries directly. But I believe you can roll your own and it should work since I haven't touched any modules32 code except for some obvious stuff.

Diffs are mostly in gpio settings and they don't change :-) so I can use your mods without editing. Thanx

working now
widget selector is very fast
but wi-fi is error
any other expected improvement?

[nikkotsoi]

just make a video on its difference

[vakaloka]

ok, solved! the phone feels snapier, thanks ipaq!

[skunk 01]

How to get this improvement?

[Kannan Ramaswamy]

Widget Selector looks snappier, any pointers towards Battery Management, Please!!!

hello every body
i have a question!
while i was browsing the kernel change set i found
that the reserved memory configuration is some how mysterious
like following:
#define DRAM_END_ADDR (UL(0x65000000))
#define RESERVED_PMEM_END_ADDR (DRAM_END_ADDR)
.
#define RESERVED_G3D (63 * 1024 * 1024)
.
#define RESERVED_PMEM (16 * 1024 * 1024)
.
#define G3D_RESERVED_START (RESERVED_PMEM_END_ADDR - RESERVED_G3D) //0x6500 0000-0x03F0 0000=0x6110 0000
#define RESERVED_PMEM_START (G3D_RESERVED_START - RESERVED_PMEM) //0x6110 00000-0x0100 0000=0x0x6010 0000
#define PHYS_UNRESERVED_SIZE (RESERVED_PMEM_START - UL(0x60000000)) //0x6010 0000-0x6000 0000=0x0010 0000 =1 M

... so shouldn't we do some changes ... just wondering
cheers

What is mysterious? Size? It is set to this to avoid white squares in games.

[rom_omnia2]

If his count is right we would have just 1MB for this bank:

mi->nr_banks = 2;
mi->bank[0].start = UL(0x50000000);
mi->bank[0].size = (128 * 1024 * 1024);
mi->bank[0].node = PHYS_TO_NID(0x50000000);
mi->bank[1].start = UL(0x60000000);
mi->bank[1].size = PHYS_UNRESERVED_SIZE;
mi->bank[1].node = PHYS_TO_NID(0x60000000);

But wouldn't work with just 1MB ... i tried to manage this values for who don't need game performance but this HexValues still a "mysterious" for me.

Just install manually to my storage.

I though it is perfect, until found it does not accept incoming call. (call out is OK)
solved after reinstall
then I patched with cm_update_wm.sh, then it cannot connect to network at all.

another issue is after start the camera, it ask to insert a sdcard before using camera, my /mnt/sdcard and /sdcard is working.

thanks for any suggestion.

I had the same issue, I solved it through some research.

Don't delete /mnt  in /media/system/system/etc\ vold.fstab

There are couple of threads on how to install.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!

actually my class 4 sd card got similar speed when with animation off
I think the smooth performance of angrry bird is becuase we are looking through the video
actually, in the first mission in angry birds
my i8000 also got good performance too
