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

[Guest byakkotai]

looks good.

if the file is in correct folder, you only have to excute the script or reboot the phone.

Great I'm going to keep the original on my PC and replace it on the Hero with this. I'll then reboot.

[Guest HellSt0rm]

I have also a copy of the original.

If something goes wrong I have the possibility to push the original back to the phone with ADB.

Be sure to not use any taskkiller while testing. (you actually to don't need a taskkiller anymore :) )

Because then you will really feel how this tweak works out for you.

Good luck and give a response on how it goes.

[Guest stalins]

I had no problem with ME using 3.2beta5

At first I didn't either, but the 5th time I tried, the problems started. Maybe I'll just re-flash it and try again.

[Guest byakkotai]

Hmmm. Struggling to replace the original Teknologist.sh file on the phone. Advice?

[Guest ZeppeMan]

Also struggling.. :)

[Guest HellSt0rm]

Also struggling.. :)

ops, my mistake. It is important that you have read/write permissions to the /system/init.d/ folder when you are replacing the file.

That's the main reason I use Root Explorer it's a paid app. but I think I have seen a non-paid app somewhere that could to the same.

Such as Astro File Manager or Estrong File Explorer.

I shall check it at once.

[Guest HellSt0rm]

I have checked.

Astro can't do it.

But Estrong File Explorer can.

Settings -> Root Explorer

Choose Cyanogen Mod

Then choose "mount file system" as read/write under settings.

Go back to file explorer, move file from sdcard to /system/init.d

I don't know how good the support is for MoDaCo, but I just tested it on my phone and it worked.

So do it on your own risk goes for all this.

Only one thing.

After you are finished make sure that you turn of read/write and root explorer.

So you are sure nobody else or you can brick your phone up.

No joy using EStrongs with MCR when trying to do this. Hopefully it can be integrated into MCR. Is this possible @Paul?

[Guest PhonePersona]

I used ADB to do this process and successfully updated tecknologist.sh, but I still can't seem to change the 'minfree' file.

I rebooted and did a cat and the old memory settings are still displayed.

Help!

[Guest HellSt0rm]

make sure that you have written the command correctly. Might be the problem.

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

[Guest Naruc]

Just wondered if anyone got issues using marketenabler with the MoDaCo 3.2 beta 5? One I try to enable any of the fake settings, the phone reboots by itself. Running MoDaCo 3.1 there was no problems using this app

I am using marketEnabler, no problems for me, I had that issue earlier on MCR 3.0 after a wipe it was solved

Had the same problem for a while. Have been using gscript lite and a script i found to do the same.

Did not have trouble for a while, but then it happend again.

After a couple of manual reboots (instead of the ME or gscript reboot) it worked again.

Does MCR 3.1 contains the teknologist.sh? I do not find it.

[Guest HellSt0rm]

No. MCR 3.1 has the ramzswap.sh file. You can use that one instead.

Added the taskkiller tweak yesterday. It's ubelievable how fast and responive it makes my Hero. I really love it. And than the battery usage. In 24 hours I only los 30 percent of my battery power. This is awesome.

My free memory is constantly between 70 and 80 MB. I say this is a must have in the main ROM.

I agree, this is incredible and must be included in the rom!:-)

[Guest btnelson]

MCR 3.2 Beta 5 has been the most stable ROM I've tried to date. Only problem is that the "2G Only" option is no longer available in the Mobile Network Settings. So I can't connect to 3G which is not a disaster, but annoying nonetheless.

On a separate note, and maybe unrelated to MCR 3.2 Beta 5 specifically, I notice that the phone's track ball start flashing and the phone has other activity (like back-light turning on) quite a long time before it starts vibrating, ringing and displaying the incoming call notification. Maybe a full 2 rings (as measured from the caller's phone and start of phone activity) before everything is ready to press answer button. Anyone else notice this? If helpful, I will take a video of it to demonstrate.

[Guest AlThePost]

Anyone had a negative experience with the taskkiller tweak?P

None at all, but my parameters are a more conservative "1536,2048,4096,8192,15360,23040" for now. Free memory remains around the 40MB mark. I'll tinker with it over time and find the "sweet spot" but right now this, Teknologist's 1.92 kernal and 3.2b5 is a dream to use. :)

[Guest Paul]

I'm gonna port some more 2.1 UI elements over to give a 'white notification bar' option (and other bits) for the next Beta (later this week).

Brilliant. Cannot wait for 2.1 to release. So tired of 1.5, I just want something new

[Guest masterpfa]

Anyone had a negative experience with the taskkiller tweak? Sounds like a goer for the main ROM?

P

None at all, I no longer need to use any 3rd party task/process killer at all. Phone runs smooth and battery seems to have improved somewhat.

Phone is awesome tool now. This would be a welcome addition to your ROM

:)

[Guest Se7enair]

On xda-dev they tell something about

# Make it executable again:

#

adb shell chmod a+x /system/init.d/ramzswap.sh

when doing the lowmemorykiller-mod

is this neccessary? if i do that i cant undo this....

Cool. I'd really like it to include the native task killer tweaks too :)
