10/Mar 3.2 - MoDaCo Custom ROM for GSM Hero (now with online kitchen)

[Guest TBX]

Try reinstalling wireless tether from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/...

P

Indeed - it did work when i first did "adb uninstall" first; "adb install -r" did not.

Thanks, it made me try harder :)

[Guest cs853]

LOL I pretty much asked the same questions before. You need to partition them. Use ext4, don't use swap - rest fat32.

Use this guide:

How to manually partition your SD card for Android Apps2SD – Android and Me

http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-t...ndroid-apps2sd/

Thanks Firasco.

Do I just need to follow the guide and the MODACO ROM will run A2SD autiomatically?

"Use ext4, don't use swap - rest fat32" how do you need by? How to do this?

According to the guide you attached, should I run "Step 8 (Optional)"?? What is the purpose of this step?

Or after following the guide I still have to use other method to upgrade the ext2 to ex4?

Thanks a lot!!! :)

Hi

I'm not sure whether I have a problem with beta5 as I don't know how this aspect is supposed to behave!

When I receive an MMS with a sound clip, I can see the player progress but I can't here the sound. Is this a 'headphone only' thing or should I be able to hear the clip through the phone?

I can dig out my headphones and trybut I thought someone might know of the top of their head.

Thanks.

[Guest ChinaRon]

I am also waiting for Chinese. Can you add that to the kitchen or provide a separate link please.

a2sd will run automatically once you are done partitioning and reboot.

step 8 will convert ext3 to ext4, do it if you want ext4.

my suggestion would be to use ext2, which means skipping the "upgrade_fs" command from step 7 and skip step 8 completely.

Installed 3.2b5 without compcache (atleast I ticked disable compcache and as I have understood it from Teknologist it is disabled anyway) and the speed is absolutely the same as with the 3.1 I had installed previously. Had the problem with slowdowns over time with compcache, hopefully those will be gone done.

Amazing ROM Paul. Installed right on top of my 3.1 (might do a wipe later since the HTC widgets do not work for me). Fast and more free RAM after boot than before!

I've seen that you can remove the Youtube Player from the AOSP Eclair 2.1 Rom with the kitchen, can and will you offer this for MCR ROMs, too? Just curious, removing useless stuff is always nice :)

[Guest Formel-LMS]

OK will have a look later when I'm away from home, which will be in about 20 mins.

I will also try disabling Y5 altogether to see if that is still an issue.

:)

EDIT:

OK back

I must say as before had no problems with my Y5 or Wi-Fi connection.

Once out of range, Wi-Fi switched off altogether and returned once and only once in range.

I did not experience the issues that had been raised with Wi-Fi trying to turn off.

Not a ROM issue as I can see, have you tried un-installing, rebooting and then re-installing Y5

B)

Yeah, it's not at every time. It's "only" sometimes.

But:

When you go to slepp with 80 % Battery and wake up in the morning with a Hero without Power...

That bring me away from MoDaCo at this moment.

I think, it's the core. Something is there strange.

I'll put that in (or rather, take it out)! :)

Disabling compcache is the best thing I have done, gave me moore speedimpression then going from original rom to modacos rom :)

[Guest Pippirull]

And my best thing besides disabling compc is to edit the internal taskkiller. Damn, it runs like hell now B) Almost a completely different phone now :D

Maybe something to add in kitchen in the future? Having the option to configure each parameter in internal taskkiller would be very nice !

How did you edit internal taskkiller? Anyway i confirm.. without compcache no more lags..

OK will have to see after the phone sleeps over night! B)

Edit: My phone, since removing some apps and changing the notifications delivery, tends to fair very well over night or long periods of inactivity. I have also invoked a sleep policy for my Wi-Fi so when not being used my Wi-Fi turns off, I also if within a Wi-Fi network turn off my Mobile Internet, after all in these circumstances if Wi-Fi is present Mobile Internet is not needed.

Although this doesn't answer the original question of Wi-Fi not turning off, that I cannot answer as I do not have this issue. :)

Thanks for your help.

I followd the "how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd" to partition my sd card in EXT4... but the A2SD doesn't work. So I part it into EXT2, it also doesn't work.

All application work perfectly finely without SD card (even those that I install after parition)

Does anyone know what's happening?

Here is my spec:

Radios: 63.18.55.06ju_6.35.09_26

2.6.27-mck-1.2

MoDaCo Custom ROM 2.8 core chinese

1.0.0.A6288

SD : 8G, class6

anyone else have the BBC News by Jim Blackler and getting this error?

Application BBC News (in process net.jimblacker.newswidget) not responding

3.2 beta 5, but was also happening with beta 3

[Guest miragebg]

Help me! After I did wipe and instaled clean MoDaCo 3.2b5 I lost my 3G connection even my access points are correct! How to resolve this problem?

[Guest kjtaylor13]

Good Morning,

So after being a member for a number of years, I bought the Ad-Free option yesterday so I could bake myself a beta rom.

And Wow is it fast. I've disabled Comp cache and removed loads of stock apps, and it runs really well.

Fingers crossed that the slow I down I have experienced in the past dosn't appear.

I wiped before I put the new Rom on, and restored most of my Apps with Titanium (what a great app) when wiping the davlik I got an error telling me to use adb? Did this wipe or not? Can I wipe the davlik over Adb and do I need to be in recovery to do it? If i wipe davlik do I need to reflash the rom?

Thanks

Kevin

i think he was talking about this.

Paul, Teknologist, what do you think about this? maybe this shall be the next way to improve overall performance.

[Guest Formel-LMS]

Hi Kevin,

you use RA Recovery?

It's a known bug.

It wipes the dalvik cache, but gets the error message.

It's wiped, no problem.

You can see that at the next start. It's not so fast at startup, because the dalvik cahce is empty.

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. I do use the latest RA recovery. It did take a while first boot. So must be ok.

Thanks again

Looks very interesting, i'll drop it into the kitchen so we can have a try!

[Guest Mike Beecham]

Hi There,

I was going to post anyway, as I've noticed a lag on menus since upgrading to B5 and wondered what could have slowed the phone down to a degree that I had to reboot it 3 times yesterday (even with using task panel?).

I dont know a lot about compcache, but could this be the cause of the slowdown? I notice that there is an option to disable it within the kitchen, but as I didnt know what it was I left it alone...should I have disabled this?

Would it resolve the lag?

Apart from that, great job Paul!

[Guest RatSon]

Looks very interesting, i'll drop it into the kitchen so we can have a try!

P

i suggest

echo "1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

settings.

Paul could you add a special sh script to init.d which should be executed during load? so we had a dedicated file where we could put our customizations into (and wouldn't mess up Teknologist's script). thank you.

[Guest Pippirull]

As already mentioned its this one im talking about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622666

I configured the parameters as "1536,2048,4096,8960,8960,10240" which works very smoothly for me.

Would be very nice to have it baked in kernel, since this fix wont survive a reboot.
