looks like t-mobile have released the 2.1 source at last

[Guest Totyasrác]

Download swapper 2 from the market (on mine it was the second one)

(...)

tick box "use swap partition"

(...)

check its working with su a2sd check or su free

Well, a2sd check returns swap is not started, free shows it is used (as I've expected).

How come you can see it with a2sd check???

Ok, I had my first real "glitch" tonight. I tried to set the media volume in settings and the sound won't stop. It just is going on forever.

Weird.

Which ROM?

Fibble: I was thinking about the following:

Android starts different apps "randomly", not really randomly, but as a response for different events.

Autostarts is great at stopping these apps from ever running. I was fed up with apps running randomly in the background, as you said! It's a shame that theres no free alternative to Autostarts as it does seem like a very simple piece of functionality that is missing from Android itself.

sure, it is. It helps not starting some apps for some events - I could make 2.1 having around 48 mb of ram. but it doesnt change my swap theory - just less swap is needed.

We have SWAP so whats next? :lol:

Or are we still having problems with SWAP?

[Guest starkos]

I don't know if it's caused by the kernel or what :)

And Compcache is really annoying me now. It works and I can manually launch it.. but it doesn't work with swap and I can't figure out any way of making compcache loadable on boot whilst allowing people to disable it easily. Compcache + swap = very unstable phone.

flibblesan (or any one else for that matter), when you've got a spare 5 minutes can you please write up some instructions on how you built compcache into the source please? I've searched for ages & tried a few things but it's driving me nuts! I can't work out how to apply the patch and then build the modules for compcache, which I found here: http://code.google.com/p/compcache/downloads/list

I know it's a bit of an annoying request lol but I would really appreciate it! :lol:

Maybe overclocking the CPU a little bit? SWAP + Higher clockspeed = Flying pulse :)

No. RedBull + Straw = Flying Pulse.

Does Compcache actually slow the phone down? Or speed it up? I'm confused...

Okay, I've managed to get a 2.6.29 patch that works but compiling the modules against the kernel source is just throwing up errors! I'm using the following:

cd ~/compcache-0.6.2

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/bin/mydroid/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- KERNEL_BUILD_PATH=~/kernel[/codebox]

Any advice?

Oddly I just followed the instructions. Patched the kernel source and then compiled the modules against the kernel source, then built the kernel.

you need the kernel .config file. You can pull this from your phone running Android 2.1

adb pull /proc/config.gz

extract and rename the file to pulseconfig and copy to the kernel source folder.

Run menuconfig:

flibble@flibble-desktop:~$ make ARCH=arm menuconfig

and then scroll down to the bottom and use "Load an Alternative configuration file"

give it the name pulseconfig and click ok.

Then scroll to the bottom and "Save an Alternative Configuration file"

call it .config

then exit menuconfig. This now sets up the .config file correctly. You can, of course, make changes to this using menuconfig or manually. I personally do it manually.

Download the compcache 0.6.2 and extract inside the kernels directory. I renamed it to compcache for ease of use.

The patch file didn't work for me so I made the changes manually. It's quite easy to read the patch file.

Did this to build the modules:

flibble@flibble-desktop:~$ make ARCH=arm SUBARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/pulse/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- KERNEL_BUILD_PATH=/home/flibble/kernel

And kernel itself compiled with:

flibble@flibble-desktop:~$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/pulse/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- -j4

Obviously you need to change the paths to match your system. :lol:

compcache.zip - ramzswap.ko module and rzscontrol I already built

config.gz - 2.1 kernel config from my phone

Thanks a lot for your reply. Unfortunately the instruction of run 'make' wasn't enough with someone of my knowledge lol!

I can't believe all I was missing when compiling the module was 'SUBARCH=arm' :lol:

Thanks again..

Any progress with overclocking?

Sorry for the question, but now i not have time to reading back on the thread. :lol:

I think bigbear said he will overclock it and undervolt it so the battery lasts a little longer, you will need to speak to him about the progress

Im sure when he has successfully done it, he will post it in a thread

EDIT: Yes he said it here: http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile...ou-like-to-see/

He also said he will try implementing multitouch :)

Big bear is a god
