J-MOD (based on Android 2.1)

[Guest Ellia]

How do I see wether I have a Class-4 SD Card or not?

I have a 8-GB SD-card in my phone, is that class-4 or doesn't say that anything?

Have a look on the card. In most cases the (minimum) class is printed on it. But you can also download a sd-card-speedtest in the market and calculate the real speed of the card.

[Guest tunat]

Because Dalvik Cache is still on the Internal Storage. What class SD Card do you have? If it's Class 4 then you can move the cache to the SD Card as well which would solve your issue. If you have a class 4 SD Card, run a terminal emulator and run the following: (can be done thrugh adb but I'm not sure hpw to do it that way)

su {enter}

a2sd cachesd {enter}

Reboot your phone.

If your SD card is below Class 4 then doing this would slow down your phone possibly making it unusable.

Yes, we know your using this ROM.

Sounds like you have a Class 6 Card, so you should be able to move the Dalvik Cache to your SD Card.

Follow the instructions in my previous post to do this. Test and see what happens

My SD-Card has:

Writespeed: 13,11 KB/s

Readspeed: 15,45 KB/s

Internal memory:

Writespeed: 14,55 KB/s

Readspeed 15,45 KB/s

Strange as OS X told me that I was writing at 1 MB/s :S

Then I'm not sure what's happening. Repeat the a2sd check procedure again and repost your results.

That's great to know. I'm working on v1.1 at the moment but I have no release date in mind as yet, will release when it's ready.

Sounds promising :D

But I'm not ready to make that change again, since I just updated from flb 1.0 to 1.3.1 (30 minutes before v1.4 vas uploaded ;) ). And i absolutely hate setting up my phone. So much details and tiny set-ups. I just want to rest from that for a few days and than I'll probably try J-MOD :D

[Guest JohnPorter]

if i can get a terminal emulator working with this rom, then there will be a new release within the next couple of days.

[Guest Simon O]

Easy enough. Add Term.apk to /system/app/ and libandroidterm.so to /system/lib/

the lib file can be extracted from inside the Term.apk.

Ah...didn't realise that, added term.apk but got a fc when i tried to use it when i was testing last night....

Thanks Flibble...

OK, I'll have a look at the Terminal Emulator issue.

I'll do some testing with that game if I can.

I have a question, is there anyway of testing ROMs without having to flash them to my phone everytime? I do realise I'll have to do that to test it properly but just it might be easier using a emulator of some sort?

[Guest JohnPorter]

Edging closer and closer to a new release, just want to try and resolve an issue before I release it, if it's not simple then I may wait till the next version to implement it and release v1.1 sooner.

The ROM uses the Stock Launcher as default and when you go to the Wallpaper Gallery, you get 3 wallpapers and lots blank entries in there, where are the wallpapers stored? Can I delete these or remove the wallpaper gallery component altogether?

Edit: Ignore this I've found it!

tell us how

[Guest JohnPorter]

tell us how

The three wallpapers that show in the gallery are in the launcher.apk file. Now I need to look into reducing the number of blank entries or actually putting new wallpapers in there. Either way this should be simple to solve so I'm going to delay v1.1 till I've done this.

Edit: Might be harder than I thought if added more wallpapers doesn't work, can't seen to view or edit the xml i think you need to modify, they appear to be encoded.....hmmmmm

After v1.1, I will be doing the add-ons to allow people to change launchers to ADW or LauncherPro if they wish. After that I need to stop work for a short while I learn more about this etc....all I've done so far is a customise a custom rom created by someone else, so I want to go and see what's involved from the beginning to see if there are any tweaks I can make to this ROM.

I will be here to support this rom in the meantime.

If anyone has any links to material I should be reading then please don't hesitate to post them here.
