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

[Guest Krissi]

Installed 3.2 b5 including task killer adjustment and disabled compcache. No problems with installation, and it seems to work just fine. Smooth and swift! :)

[Guest Tuomo]

What languages are included in 3.1? In earlier post you said "All Languages", but what are they? Is ther finnish? And is ther a finnish dictionary that can be used with the HTC keyboard? There's a scandinavian keyboard (or anysoftkeyboard) in market where you can get the finnish dictionary, but I like HTCs keyboard better.

[Guest Formel-LMS]

If Finnish is in the original ROM, than finnish is in the ROM up to MCR 3.1, too.

Sorry, I haven't looked at finnisch before.

[Guest robert lindgren]

Yeah I felt the same. My solution to this was to first install the FULL 3.1 (not baked), run the setup with that and set English with swedish dictionary. After that I flashed the newly baked 3.2b5 on top of that. Voila, swedish is there!

Also did a complete wipe before I installed baked roms first and noticed that they only include english.

But then you will have some extra applications installed, right?

Since you don't exclude them the first time you flash in a rom

Actually no. I was thinking about exactly that first too but when I flashed my baked 3.2b5 on top of 3.1 full it actually seem to have removed Teeter, HTC Sync, Stocks, Footprints, Peep since they are no longer present in my phone! :)

As for the discussion about languages in 3.1 full I noticed that my only choices after a complete wipe were English, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish (possibly Finnish can't really remember if it was there or not). Those were the only ones. If I look at the languages I can choose now for keyboard I have Danish, English, Norwegian and Swedish. So I do not think that *all* languages are included in 3.1. And to make things even clearer: my baked 3.1 DOES NOT include any languages besides English if I install it after Wipe.

Another thing to note is that the ROM is fast. Really, really fast. No slugginesh yet and no problems whatsoever with anything. I also seem to have the HTC widgets working now (the reason I did wipe actually, to make sure that the error with build.prop or whatever it was in 3.0 was corrected).

OK, thanks for your quick and extensive reply!

I'll try doing that now and see if i helps, don't want to wipe B)

I think I'm not very fond of the taskkiller thing. Since I flashed with this option, I have +/- 110mb of free memory (nice), but as a result my widgets seem to lose their data very often (musicplayer empty, contacts widget empty, agenda widget empty... even had a Sense restart: not so nice). So I restored back my Nand-backup, but that doesn't seem to help... So either the taskkiller messes things up, or there's something else going on

I did a wipe (data/factory and Dalvik) and installed a fresh baked 3.1 two days ago and I have English, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish to choose from, just like the generic ROM. I had the same choices when I installed my first MCR (3.0) after a full wipe.

My only language problem is that My Tracks force close when I use Swedish as my phone language. I had the same problem in 3.0 but not in the generic ROM.

[Guest Higgsy]

I've done away with compcache and apps2sd - got to say is running like a dream. with 60 apps installed only using 50% of available internal memory, so it looks like for me apps2sd is fairly pointless

[Guest robert lindgren]

After complete wipe, install of 3.1 core (no kitchen), stepping through the setup guide, and then reflash with 3.2 b5 i got the swedish keyboard englis language back.

Not too hard, but will be difficult to do when 3.1 starts to disappear from this forum

so always keep your Nandroid Backup :-)

[Guest kosmiq]

Not really a solution either since you mostly do a wipe for a reason. A NAndroid restore will put the phone back in the state it was and probably bring back the reason you did wipe to begin with...

Paul, any chance to look into adding languages into the kitchen?

[Guest Naruc]

Paul

Can you please readd the only 2g setting? there is crappy 3g coverage where I live so I often loose the phonesignal, witch makes it rather hard to use this briliant ROM

[Guest Paul]

Just looking over the new Magic Sense-enabled release to see if there's anything worth grabbing... :)

[Guest Paul]

No, the official HTC release.

[Guest byakkotai]

Absolutely brilliant performance since the latest update. I use Slidescreen as my homescreen, with around 8-12 apps on the phone and all I can say is that it shows a marked performance improvement. No lag on the Slidescreen launcher and apps seem to load up quicker.

Cheers Paul

With regards to the taskkiller tweak, all the defaults settings are done in the /init.rc file:

# Define the memory thresholds at which the above process classes will

# be killed.  These numbers are in pages (4k).

	setprop ro.FOREGROUND_APP_MEM 1536

	setprop ro.VISIBLE_APP_MEM 2048

	setprop ro.SECONDARY_SERVER_MEM 4096

	setprop ro.HOME_APP_MEM 4096

	setprop ro.HIDDEN_APP_MEM 5120

	setprop ro.CONTENT_PROVIDER_MEM 5632

	setprop ro.EMPTY_APP_MEM 6144


# Write value must be consistent with the above properties.

# Note that the driver only supports 6 slots, so we have HOME_APP at the

# same memory level as services.

	write /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj 0,1,2,7,14,15


	write /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory 1

	write /proc/sys/vm/min_free_order_shift 4

	write /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree 1536,2048,4096,5120,5632,6144


	# Set init its forked children's oom_adj.

	write /proc/1/oom_adj -16

Wouldn't it make more sense to tweak the values directly here ??

So there's no one else who has had issues with the taskkiller? Does anybody know what could cause my problems then?

Thanks in advance

No have had no problems of that kind that i can trace back to the taskkiller-tweek

I'm running with Compcache disabled and the taskkiller tweak running and to be honest, I'm not seeing any difference whatsoever. I've checked that the taskkiller settings have been applied to my phone and they have. I'm a little disappointed with the tweak, I was expecting a noticable difference but 'Sense' and the 'All Programs' scroll seem to be a little jerky, not as fluid as when I didn't have the tweak applied.

Weird, I had a huge improvement. However i also disabled app2sd at the same time.

I've just baked another ROM with tweaked enabled and Compcache disabled. Just about to flash. Will let you know if it improves things for me.

BTW - I have app2sd disabled

[Guest TeunieChun]

Well then, I'm just going to try it again: lets see what happens (:

I'll let you know

Hmmm.....seems to be a little better after wiping, flashing and re-installing my apps. I'm now seeing an improvement, small but it's an improvement nonetheless.

Not sure that the taskkiller tweak is all it's cracked up to be though
