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

[Guest Tom G]

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.

[Guest SonMauri]

I think i'm going to start crying now!

[Guest BigBearMDC]

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.

Yea probably lol

[Guest GlasWolf]

Noob alert: does this mean you should be able to track down and eliminate whatever's causing the 2.1 SMS/memory problem?

[Guest david_dawkins]

Hold in there, we'll get through this, together.

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.

[Guest Elmo108]

what do you need the source for? :P

anyone? :) i also want to cheer with you :(

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).

Excellent point. This is exactly why you're Tom and I'm Dave.

[Guest BigBearMDC]

It looks like this kernel has usb gadget support which means we could eventually port PSFreedom to our Pulse :P

Swap (turns your SD into RAM)

multitouch (maybe)

overclock CPU (very maybe)

customize the kernel for better performance/lower memory usage

something like that :)

[Guest rulerofkaos]

I hope Tom can get a working camera driver for froyo out of this...

You forgot

"Putting Huawei to shame".

[Guest Theme Ishere]

"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

I VOTE FOR THAT ONE TO BE ON TOP OF THE LIST.

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

get the swapper app from the market? see how much is free :(

[Guest Willz]

Hey BB, would this source help get multitouch working? :P

Available free RAM maybe? :(

[Guest BigBearMDC]

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 :)

[Guest whackster]

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)

# cat /proc/swaps

Filename				Type		Size	Used	Priority[/code]

:P
