Guest Tom G Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Any chance of initially focusing on a custom kernel for UK 2.1 Eclair.... pretty please :P I'm sure BigBear and Flibblesan will have that done before I get home from work tomorrow.

Weird, my kernel is still rebooting :P The old one booted up after several attempts, but why? I'm using the 4.4.0 toolchain like you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GlasWolf Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Noob alert: does this mean you should be able to track down and eliminate whatever's causing the 2.1 SMS/memory problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest david_dawkins Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Noob alert: does this mean you should be able to track down and eliminate whatever's causing the 2.1 SMS/memory problem? Soldering iron and ram chips is probably the answer to that. I'm thinking an OutOfMemory exception is being thrown in the Android core (not the kernel), and it's not even being reported; possibly not enough memory to log and report it? But I'm taking us off-topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm taking us off-topic. Swap will effectively give more memory, so it might fix it. Compcache might be worth a try as well, but I think the more we complicate the memory setup the less reliable the device will be. Compcache would also mean less physical memory (so we will lose some of the 128MB). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BigBearMDC Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 It looks like this kernel has usb gadget support which means we could eventually port PSFreedom to our Pulse :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rikkiej Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 anyone? :P i also want to cheer with you :( Swap (turns your SD into RAM) multitouch (maybe) overclock CPU (very maybe) customize the kernel for better performance/lower memory usage something like that :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Theme Ishere Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 "Putting Huawei to shame". I thought Flibble, Baer, Tom and the Others have already done that? So, Bear, I am leaving work in an hour, than a quick run at the Gym, and when I am at home afterwards, I want to have multitouch! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BigBearMDC Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Well I just compiled the kernel with SWAP support and it booted up without any problems :) Now I only need to test if SWAP is really enabled - how? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BigBearMDC Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 It wouldn't help multitouch, nope :( But SWAP! Actually I don't have a swap partition, but in /proc there's now an "swaps" entry, which I could swear wasn't there before :P :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whackster Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) this might work From the terminal type: free it will return swap size. try turning swap off and on: swapoff /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 (wait few moments) free (check if swap line is 0 now) swapon /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 free (check if swap is enabled) Edited September 13, 2010 by whackster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
