Custom kernel for Éclair (LCR v1.7 and 1.6)

[Guest sunshine333]

After doing a Nandroid restore of my LCR 1.7 install, my market downloading has stopped working. It's stuck at the dreaded "starting download".

I also tried restoring several other Nandroid backups of 1.6 and froyo, all have the same problem now. This hasn't happened to me before. Most of the info I've read about this problem says that it was resolved after a number of hours or days of just waiting, or by switching to wifi. I've tried wifi and waited several days now and still no success. Does anyone have any solutions or ideas?

[Guest HustlinDaily]

How much space do you need in sd to install the ramswap and how do you activate it? Is there a partition you need to create?

[Guest vanahaim]

It appears during booting system, when the system is running, I have no problems. (Even at very high load like benchmarks - weird. :D )

Any ideas what is it? :lol:

as i know it not uses the sd it just kompromises the aps which are placed in the ram an so you can run more apps than normal am i right?

Open Google Talk while market is trying to d/l, it will restart the GTalkService which is the one that allows your smartphone to deal with the market protocol :-)

Doesn't use SD, it's automatically activated.

[Guest Swallow74]

Mmmm, if i launch "free" command i don't see swap. So i activated "sdcard/swap.swp", 256 MB, and the system si really more usable: all my services can run in background and applications don't reset when recalled. Another world :lol:

I did something wrong then. Again.

[Guest Nesli]

Strange, im using xx.15 BIN with MOD, 921mhz kernel works me fine :lol: But regular kernel 998mhz (1,25V, 1.100.05) boots me and causing random reboots, modified 998 mhz 1,3V kernel for xx.15 freeze after PIN dialog, or reboot during the boot sequence...

kernelpanic is the same: not syncing: Fatal expection ..

Uhh? :D Dont understand this, high voltage have to eliminate unstabilies, but for me it worst that non overvoltaged...

[Guest azuwis]

Ok I'm back, got some goodies from phh for 1.100.15 bin :lol:

http://www.mediafire.com/?ylt1mn2gny5

Includes:

920MHz + ramzswap + TS fix + SVS

and

998MHz @ 1.3V + static voltage scaling + ramzswap + TS fix

998 version reboot several time during phone boots for me, but finally system will be up and running. Testing to see if it will be stable after that.

920 version is not as stable as the previous one here. Phone reboot when using Titanium backup and installing software from market.

[Guest Swallow74]

Maybe i accidentally overwrite your settings... I tried to launch "free" only after i deactivated my swap file and rebooted phone.

[Guest phhusson]

Previous version didn't change voltage at all, we were just using the voltage that is on boot.

So it's possible it wasn't 1.25V as specified in the sources, but something else... (1.3 ? 1.275 ?)

can you explain how to add file-swap ?

thanks !

[Guest Riekr]

thanks !

i'm interested too, i had created a swap partition with recovery but i don't know how to activate it :D (sorry did it)

i'm using 820Mhz kernel, iptables just works great :lol:

ps: phhusson maybe "all" iptables modules are too much, i think packet magling for example will never be used but it should be discussed a bit more deeply.

I think it works for me.

Where is located default swap file? SD or internal memory?

[Guest phhusson]

Where is located default swap file? SD or internal memory?

In RAM.

That's why it's called RAMzswap.

swap in ram? why this may be useful?

[Guest phhusson]

swap in ram? why this may be useful?

Because it's compressed.

That's why it's called ramZswap.

Check http://code.google.com/p/compcache/ and maybe http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Swap_and_Compcache (phh said there are some wrong sayings in this wiki)

Just some figures.

With the default setting (which makes the "swap partition" = 25% of the ram), with swap totally used ( Swap: 47056 47044 12),

Here's what /proc/ramzswap says:

MemUsedTotal: 16636 kB

So it's actually less than 10% of memory that is used, while the beloved cyanogen states it's 25%.

I'm having random crashes with the latest version of your 920Mhz kernel for LCR 1.7, how can I dump the kernel stack and attach it here?

Thanks for your work pphusson

I bet it's just luck-related.. :lol:

Some cpus are stable enough when overclocked, some are not. Try to test how stable is your liquid on 880MHz kernel.

Mine can't go up to 1GHz, but seems to be rock solid @880 and @920. I tried some benchmarks from the market, and SetCPU stress test for several minutes with no crash.

Using 920MHz version battery draining is faster than stock kernel, but device still makes the end of the day. I'd be stuck on 880MHz version but I like ramzswap so badly, and 920 kernel is the lowest clocked one with this feature.. (@phh: I won't ask you to rebuild once more 880 kernel with TS patch & ramzswap, please just include these 2 features if it happens you have to rebuild it..)

How do I enable ramzswap?

[Guest liquid_it]

How do I enable ramzswap?

It's enabled on 920 an 998 MHz version of phh boot.img.

You can do an

adb shell free

to find out if and how swap is used.

edit: I wish Liquid had 512MB of ram since donut model..
