29/May r7 WIP pre-release - MoDaCo Custom ROM for T-Mobile Pulse with online kitchen - Android 2.1

[Guest Lord_Shaithis]

Thanks Paul - this ROM finally has EVERYTHING working for me! :(

On the subject of system vs SD ram speeds......how fast is the system ram compared to (for example) a class 6 sd card?

[Guest goce.nakov]

So even with A2SD (not A2SD+) applications are still installed on SD card?

Just got a set of FC's while in 3D Gallery.

good question :(

A2SD causes the apps to be installed to the SD card.

A2SD+ causes the apps and the dalvik-cache to be on the SD card.

From what I can make out, the dalvik-cache is an optimised bytecode version of the apps (DEX files) which the system uses for various performance benefits. I don't know whether all apps end up there, or parts of them, or just as they are used, and I don't know the lifespan of the cache or how big it is likely to get, or what happens if it runs out of room.

In fact I don't know anything about it.

Hello,

first i did the hungarian update. That worked. After that i installed 1.5.2-pulse-amonrarecovery via flashboot. After that i applied to flash the MCR ROM. It will not boot up. It stays at the T-Mobile circle.

What's the problem?

Just got a set of FC's while in 3D Gallery.

Try to install the gallery which was linked not long before here in the forum, it is a newer version.

:( A2SD = Applications To SD, so yeah :( Working like a charm so far, fast and stable. I still prefer that RBM style after i saw it and would JIT be possible in the near future? Cheers!

EDIT: As for the Gallery I pushed it with root explorer manually in the system\app directory and then i ran the setup, like this it worked. Give it a go.

i am on the A2SD+ version and app install on the sd card, i have around 73 Mb free on phone :(

OT: Neocore score (w/o audio): 25.7fps (it was 26.7fps with the starkos rom)

Hmm I have installed it, but I have a rom where I unchecked both gallery and gallery 3d. So I didn't have any gallery when I started installing it.

I have also around 73MB but when I started to installing the app I have around 77MB..that's why I'm asking are A2SD is working?

[Guest starkos]

Thanx a lot for the Rom Paul! Finally got it all setup with a different launcher, vanilla contacts/mms apk's and a less pink framework-res & currently it's running faster than the old cupcake vanilla MCRs :(

You again?!?!?! :( What vanilla apps did you install, what about the RBM phone.apk and Contacts, it has an awesome interface and T9 dialing. If you combine all of that PLEASE upload a rom, I'm kinda used to have a starkos rom on my Pulse :o Cheers!

[Guest bounty123]

Please share the vanilla contacts apk, thats the only think I still need :(

[Guest Flight]

I wanna install that rom. What do I have to do if I installed that home made 2.1 "beta" earlier?

[Guest brack]

Thank you Paul! but I keep getting acor process error on every reboot. Hope it will be fixed in close future. Autokiller should help but this is not from you Paul. :(

There's more optimisations and cool stuff to be done, don't worry... :(

Got into problems a bit ...

<cut>

Got a "symlink /system/xbin" error - then I found that someone already had that problem ...

checked with 'adb shell df -h' and got only this

Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on

tmpfs 47.9M 0 47.9M 0% /dev

/dev/block/mtdblock3 20.0M 1.2M 18.8M 6% /cache

But :( The problem is that I would like A2SD+ :D Can someone help a bit here ...

Since I didn't see any answer to this - I simply tried again :(

Checked again with 'adb shell df -h' and got this:

Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on

tmpfs 52.7M 12.0K 52.7M 0% /dev

tmpfs 4.0M 0 4.0M 0% /sqlite_stmt_journals

/dev/block/mtdblock1 110.0M 107.0M 3.0M 97% /system

/dev/block/mtdblock2 80.3M 48.0M 32.2M 60% /data

/dev/block/mtdblock3 20.0M 2.8M 17.2M 14% /cache

Since now system was larger (as Paul mentioned in one post) and simply wiped everything, repaired SD:ext, flashed r7 A2SD+ version - and now it was flashed OK B)

Very odd... now I'll see if it's working as it should ...

Now I can see only one problem (immediate) - how can we correctly sync only one group from gmail :o I have Android group and that worked like a charm in 1.7MCR (simply selected that group for sync - this option is missing here)

EDIT: I have to mention - no FCs, reboots, or any problems at all in normal usage of the phone (except that gallery landscape bug - which I can completely ignore :o). Barcode scanner now works, screen works when I'm not holding it and so on ... greate job and I'm sure I will just get better with completely finished version!

Hey Paul,

will there be an improvement with low ram memory? I tested 2.1 first time with your rom, but i am a little disappointed, for multitasking is not really possible. I guess there is to little ram, so that the android system closes nearly every app that is running in background. It is very annoying, when u want to go back to your homescreen an it takes several seconds to rebuild it.

another blemish are the force closes I often get. (acore, contacts and some more.) Wifi does not reconnect after standby, I have to switch off and on to get it working again...

Hope you can enhance the performance of this rom.

Anyway, the 1.5-rom worked much better for me, cause it was rock-stable and much faster when changing between several apps. Merde! there is no way back to 1.5 :-(

It seems that you either didn't install Hungarian Update, or did not wipe.

I did both!

[Guest Alcarne]

I tried. Says cannot be installed.

Worked fine for me. Flashed kitchen rom without any galleries then put the gallery apk on sd card. Installed through Astro.

[Guest robot1000]

The 3D gallery app doesn't work in landscape, as it duplicate the portrait view multiple times (quite tricky to describe)

Anyone else experiencing this problem
