Recommended Posts

I use MCR1.3 with this new kernel and ext3. Everything seems to work except I cannot install

programs anymore. Not from market and not from apk files on the SD-Card. Not sure if

it worked with the stock MCR1.3. I am going to revert back to original kernel and ext2.

Or is it best to wait a little while for MCR1.4?

Go to the recovery console and use the "repair ext" option :D that fixed it for me :(

How can I tell if compcache is working?

I'm got this installed all seems OK, but I'm not quite sure what I need to look for :(

*edit* LOL, doh, just read your post :D

Phew upgrading is not for the faint of heart :D

I now use MCR1.3 with Test 1.1 MCK. When my SD-CARD has a FAT32, Ext3 and Swap the card

is not seen anymore. I have just removed the swap partition and now it all works ok. So I guess

there's still something wrong with swap.

I also had to do a factory wipe in between, but I have been trying loads of different things and

now it all seems to function. Ok now reinstalling all apps.

Thanks all for making this possible on this device!

Woohoo! Got MCK running with a 32MB compcache and the difference it makes to the device is astonishing (IMHO) :D

I don't see much of a difference...running the lightning-fast u8230 rom =]

on a side note...wouldn't it be better to have swap as a file on /data rather than a partition on the SD card? should be faster as well as make the SD card last longer...I have almost 89MB free in /data...

Noob question but do i need to create a compcache partition or something along those lines or does the kernal deal with that?

Nope, compcache is fully set up automatically.

Excellent thank you :(

Slowly understanding how all this customisation works and what the terminology is :D

Had an odd problem after installing the kernel update my volume + button stopped working.

Restored my nandroid backup from before installing the kernel, then i reinstalled the kernel again and it works so most likely an installation problem on my end.

Overwise another great advance thanks Paul and everyone else working so hard on this.

Since netfilter is giving me grief, in the interim i've updated both MCRs to include this kernel!

Thanks Paul I wiped my phone and reinstalled new rom with new kernal and my phone is now so quick using the compcache it like having a new phone. Also found another way to check compcache is working on the below page.

There is a memstatus app on the market that tells you about compcache status too.
