[ROM] Liquid Community ROM v1.7.3 [27/07/10]

[Guest willyaranda]

Battery usage is really a problem in 1.7. I don't know what to think about this version, despite the huge amout of hours spent creating it. I am a bit disapointed.

don't be disappointed malez, you are working on this because you want. And you don't have to know everything to solve this problems, maybe it's just one tweak to a file, maybe it's something from Acer files, who knows?

You have spent too much time with this release, and I think it's pretty good (I haven't had any problem with this ROM since the flashing). Maybe some idea from someone or a log could help you, but, meanwhile, stay calm, you've done such an amazing job!!

i simply think that there are more processes running (this explains havier memory footprint and the phone becoming hot reported by some user) but lcr team work is awesome )

now it seems that new kernels sources are coming, this will open the doors to many many improvements ;)

about the remaining things i still prefer a basic/light version of lcr and a standard one like today so who wants (like me) can customize apps easier.

I've had problems too, but since I uninstalled every task manager I've gained lot of battery.

[Guest devoluti0n]

Thanks for your answer Malez.

I used to use the Xian rom before LCR, and he says we had to odex apps everytime we installed/updated one.

Maybe something is different in this rom. could you please explain me what it is ? What odex really do to the apps ? I tough it was a kind of app caching...

Thanks.

[Guest bais]

Don't understand why people have problems.

I have Zero problems, this ROM is faster, has Dolby Mobile and can freakin' read Divx/Xvid with any player.

Only advice I can give you is if you definitely don't use Stream Launcher and LockScreen, then delete Acer Widget app and Acer Launcher with Titanium Backup.

Thanks.

When you odex an application, it will stored an Optimized Device EXecutable file in the same directory as the apk itself (with the script you have run). When running an app, system will run the odex file instead of the binary stored in the apk. That is the reason why when updating an app which has been odexed, you need to reodex.

odex file use space. So when you have tried to odex you system, your system partition became full

Really interesting comment as i am trying to create a patch to remove stream stuff and fix battery usage. Could exactly tell me what you have done please ?

now i try ;) tnx!

[Guest Riekr]

a thing that i can confirm is that memory consumption is higher than in lcr1.6, how can i check if they are running?

anyway with astro task manager i see breeze.launcher and ze.notification..

i also see a debuggerd (debug mode disabled), mediaserver (what is it? acer one?) driod.delsclock (uh?)

there is also an alei switchpro... now i try to uninstall it since i don't want it to take 15,92mb for something i really don't use so often

ok i uninstalled Widget, AcerLauncher & Notification, now i've got 100Mb free ram at startup, i also got rid of most of the processes in my previous post.

with "stock" lcr17 i was having about 60mb of free ram (if i don't remember wrong).

here is the list of what i have uninstalled from the device or replaced from the market:

AcerClockWidget.apk

AcerLauncher.apk

AndroidNotes.apk

Clicker_hi.apk

CorpCal.apk

Email.apk

HTC_IME_hi.apk

MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk

Maps.apk

MoreLocale.apk

esTaskManager.apk

jackpal.androidterm.apk

org.adw.launcher.apk

org.ouroborus.android.downloadcrutchlite.apk

i've done it via some windoze batch script if anyone is interested (please take care when you eventually use them).

Dear Malz

The apn enorme is an mms apn for CHT, not an internet one.

The internet one is

<apn carrier="CHT"

mcc="466"

mnc="92"

apn="internet"

user=""

server=""

password=""

mmsc=""

type="default"

/>

If others apps and browser work, that is certainly that stock browser has a shorter time out than other apps and you connection is a bit laggy.

Have you tried to wipe your dalvik-cache ?

i removed some app from system to only have the market version for apps that get updated often (like launcherpro for example)

[Guest Rajit]

Don't think like that, it's a great release... works very well for some (like me)... and not so well for other's... when it comes to software, there always some issues that arise along the way, and are sorted out as the software matures. So, don't be dissapointed.

[Guest droug]

how can i delete system progams? like email or morelocale and others than I don't use.

That should help.

In case you're wondering what ADB is, it's a tool that comes with the android SDK ;)

[Guest droug]

I do with titanium backup, is the same?

Removed esTaskManager and esFileManager (both were symlinked in /data if I remember right), uninstalled Taskiller Full (which I previously installed), and removed some other apps like MotoGAL, ..

I've noticed that the Task Managers were using lot of CPU, both es and Taskiller, monitoring them with top they were > 60% for most of the time, probably they don't like something in the new libraries of Stream.

FIY I'm using everything from stock Android UI except the Stream-like notifications (which I find more useful).

BTW, still doing some tests and stressing the battery, I'll open a bug in a few hours.

[Guest demolition23]

WOW!!!

I just uninstall notifications!!

My liquid now is REALY fast!!

[Guest malez]

The same. Symlink Target apk will also be removed from data on reboot. But titanium only displays applications. It is safer if you are not familiar with direct apk managing

[Guest malez]

Thank you all for your help. I really appreciate.

[Guest gllandalf]

i had the battery drain problem with 1.7 until i did this:

- in settings i switched to acer UI, the liquid rebooted twice and i had full acer UI

- then in settings i switched to android UI, idem the liquid reboted twice and i had full android UI

i the process i had no acer stuff any more and it rules since, battery usage is normal!

i never changed anything in LCR_UI.txt

[Guest natostanco]

for me too, just switched back to android ui everything is fast as before and doing a killall with es task manager i get 110mb free ram

[Guest droug]

but if you do kill all, all apps that you need will start again??
