FRF91 (deodexed) for LiquidE [Rev 4.3]

phhusson == F*cking god!

Camera works great, but I dunno if it's me but the colors are sometime wrong.

Pink stuff looks like Orange-Red, Green-Blue looks like green.

[Guest CedricGatay]

Same here, red tone seems too high, anyway that's great :)

[Guest phhusson]

So will this Froyo version make full use of the E's 512mb of RAM or will almost half of it disappear like the CM6 release?

You lose less than 30 %... anyway, if someone finds N1's himem patch, that would help.

You tried changing white balance settings?

I haven't checked thus part, I've taken it as is from cyanogenmod, that wouldn't be the first wrong value...

[Guest bais]

Tried with different white balances, still none offers correct colors.

Maybe someone else could explain it correctly.

[Guest thongrim]

Don't know if it's a bug itself or if someone else reported it: when I pull down the notification bar, the first time I pull it up again it's very hard, like a lack of responsiveness.

Yup, known problem of my "TS fix" (also for other roms than FRF91). Just press the 'back' button :)

Ok, the problem is in the saturation setting.

If you know an android camera app (I don't ...) that can set it, use it and set it to 7 instead of 10.

cgatay is currently testing other settings (contrast, sharpness) to see if we can make it even better, I'll push an update when these propers settings are available.

Ok, thanks. And may I ask you about lockscreen coming up? Sometimes it took about 6 seconds before the screen wakes.

[Guest davidevinavil]

Thank you phh for hard work..

I have a little bug in market. When i try to download an app downlad start one or two minute after..

My market is unloked with malez recovery..

Another bug is that..

When i make a photo in the moment the shutter is open screen became green.

When i open gallery preview of photo is green but when i open photo it appears whit correct colors..

About highmem this is what I have found. Hope it is useful:

It seems that Kernel 2.6.33.1 is needed for highmem to work. Also Arve Hjønnevåg has something to do with himem patch :D

Ok, googling this guy's name + highmem gives me the patch, thanks :D

[Guest Borkata]

You are welcome :D

[Guest bais]

Phh I twitted you a camera app that can change Saturation, try Pro Paint Camera :D

[Guest phhusson]

Need LiquidE testers: http://acer-liquid-froyo.googlecode.com/files/bootE.img

Should enable full 512MB.

Added an update to set default saturation setting to better values.

Very nice depth effect, but bright parts look too bright and red looks too red. Green looks fine though.

@ phh, xian, koud all the devs and everyone else:

i tried both cm6-xian/koud as well as frf91-rev2, and here are my experiences:

frf91

when i flashed it, it was very slow (by that i mean laggy and glitchy). But thats normal to almost all roms, so i let it stay on my device, for a couple of hours. but even after a few hours, I couldn't really notice any major performance improvements over my lcr 1.8, except for the contact list which (almost) scrolled without any glitches. The message scrolling was bad, the launcher pro smoothness was inconsistent, and there was not much difference in the opening times of dialer/contacts/etc. when compared to the lcr 1.8 on my device. I had tried frf 91 twice (or maybe thrice) more in the past, and came out disappointed every time. This time, the news about the working camera really got me excited, but sadly I was let down once again.

SO, I removed it. WHY? because I have really high expectations from froyo and to be honest I don't want to disappoint myself with this on my device. User experience is not built on top of benchmarking scores. If the rom is not able to perform smoothly, then there is clearly something wrong.

cm6

when i flashed it, i was blown away. the initial slowness that is consistent across all roms lasted for merely a few minutes (or maybe even less). everything opened instantly- the dialer, the contacts, the messages (I have 1500 of them and they scrolled neatly), everything worked smoothly . although the rom had its share of glitches, i had been totally blown over by it. One thing to note was that the quadrant scores on this were much less than frf91, but the performance had a downright upperhand over frf91. This is what IMO what it should be like.

STILL, I removed it. WHY? because camera is an important part of my phone experience and because im a little bit of a paranoid. IMO (god forbid) if there were not much future work on this and it could not get a working camera, I didn't want to spoil myself with this on my phone. Cuz I know for a fact that if i'd used it for a long period of time, i would have been addicted to it and then i wold have been stuck with a phone with a 5mp not working camera!!!

Im not criticizing phh. He's a TRULY amazing dev and I know for a fact that if it weren't for him we would not have MANY of the wonderful things that we enjoy on our liquids today.

Through my experience, Im just trying to point out the things the way they seem to me. There is something wrong somewhere and a new direction of development is needed (which is just my opinion). For all I know, it could just be that cm6 might be a better platform to work at than frf91. It could also be that phh is at the moment trying to focus on other issues of the rom. But, whatever be the case the community at this point really needs unified development to really see the progress the devs are capable of producing.

These are just my opinion. What do you all think???

[Guest bais]

I don't see very big differences in speed between both. But you can note that phh offer a stock ROM, while the CM6 one is optimized and stuff.

Phh offers something very important (the most important): Fixes to make Froyo support Liquid hardware. Other stuff like ROM cooking is left to the cookers there :D

well i was aware of this but still it never came to my mind this way. well then i guess we'll just take my post as the observation of an over excited liquid loving user!!! :D

Damned you already answered for me :D'

(And I can say there is a LCR on its way ;)

Concerning benchmark things, I don't care about benchmarks either. A simple proof about it ? My kernels arent overclocked by default, and can't be overvoltaged.

Concerning both notes, you should have noticed I haven't done a single update with "speeds hacks", "free memoery hacks", "optimizing XYZ for cpu consumption" or whatever like other ROMs do. The answer is simply because I'm not a ROM maker, I just make Liquid's hardware work on non-Acer software. And now I consider my work mostly done, despite such users reactions that say it's not ready for use, that is either concerning appearance, speed, or whatever.

Just ask Vache what ROMs he already tried thanks to my work, if you don't think its' true :D

I have ALL the trust in your abilities. And to be honest right after submitting my post, I remembered that you were the "kernel guy of the family"... your work is really appreciated dude! :D

some photos taken:

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=tx5y9i0it2g5q

I've been messing around with those pictures in GIMP. I'm presuming the ones starting with Aug weren't taken by the Phhroyo camera, while the IMG ones were. The Aug ones seemed undersaturated to me, but a little trick I call the Ortan Effect helped a lot (it's not really an Ortan Effect, but it produces close enough effects for me to call it that): all you need to do is duplicate the layer, set the layer mode to overlay, then apply a huge Gauss Blur (like 64px). You should then set the layer transparency to a setting that doesn't make the image look too dreamy (20-30% is usually good).

For the oversaturated images, I've found that setting the red and green channel's saturation to -20 and their lightness to 10 reduces most of the oversaturated effect. Still looks a bit unrealistic (probably even more so once you apply it to a photo with a human in it), but it's a start. Don't know if it'll help phhusson though, seeing as changing the camera saturation level probably is more complicated than adjusting a slider.
