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

I think we dont need flame over CC versus swap (az all), I recommend to stop it.

Agree.

Both Swap and Compcache can be added to the kernel. Then you can choose what to use.

[Guest gusthy]

Fibble, another question: which firmware and which Froyo version did you use?

[Guest Azurren]

Soooo.. How much swap ram can we give ourselves without being greedy? Are we talking about enough to obliterate the launcher closing and the sms bug or enough to turn our poor old pulses into rockets?!! :lol:

(If every app you usually use is open in Ram then it would open almost instantly)

[Guest gusthy]

Remember - with Cupcake we had more of free RAM than we have with Eclair (and Froyo with Eclair partitioning) :lol:

CC/Swap has nothing to do with partitioning of internal storage memory.

[Guest Tom G]

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

The 2.6.27 kernel had gadget support but I couldn't get it to work. The MSM72K driver was new in 2.6.27, so hopefully it is improved in 2.6.29.

If that's as easy as enabling swap then I will :lol:

One thing I noticed: WLAN crashes =/

WLAN works fine for me.

MCR 1.7 uses 32 MB of compcache and it works well, so it is not a bad idea, i guess.

I'm fairly sure none of the MCR roms have used compcache.

Sadly I don't know how to compile kernels.

Compcache definitely slows the phone down (think about it.. the already slow CPU has to compress ram every time it's written). Swap is much better for us. Infact most G1 users disable compcache.

make ARCH=arm menuconfig

change stuff

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-

If you do menuconfig without ARCH=arm it will do the config for x86, and then won't compile.

Does recompiling the kernel fix the ADB serial number bug? If you do 'adb devices' does it list the device as '??????' or does it now correctly show the serial number?

When T-Mobile released the previous kernel source for cupcake that bug was fixed simply by recompiling the kernel. I'm hoping the same applies for this too.

Swap should be as small as possible. 32mb is ideal.

Fibble, another question: which firmware and which Froyo version did you use?

Froyo 0.51

No

[Guest gusthy]

Froyo 0.51

Same here, WiFi works with new kernel

[Guest McSpoon]

No

Damn. Hopefully we might find a fix for the ADB serial number bug by comparing the old and new kernels.

[Guest Tom G]

Hows that going to help? Didn't the old one do it as well.

[Guest gusthy]

I'm fairly sure none of the MCR roms have used compcache.

I definitely know that at least MCR 1.7 does have compcache, I even played with trying different CC sizes, BTW the fact that it contains CC is listed in the MCR topic's first post.

If you used MCR, and didn't even realize that it is compcached means that it is fast.

Yes, the original stock kernel had that bug too. But Paul's MCR roms fixed it. Simply because he had recompiled the kernel source.

Martinbrook was the first to get that initial code release to compile and he soon discovered ADB was getting the serial id, as he reported in this ancient thread. I'm pretty sure the other QMR release of that code also had the issue fixed too. So we might be able to identify what is causing it just by comparing against the cupcake driver.

I've also managed to get swap (32mb) and ext3 support working, & I've gotta say so far it's looking pretty good for multitasking lol :lol: !

Can you upload it in a flashable zip so others can use it?

[Guest starkos]

I would but most people here use flib's rom which is slightly different to the one I use with regards to things like A2SD/init.rc entries. So it may be best to wait until flib releases an update.zip containing just the new boot.img and swap script...

two questions:

- what do we expect of ext3?

- did you use swapfile or swap partition?

Be brave, I added 96megs of swap and runs looooots of apps :lol:

Oh, in that case you right, it would cause chaos:) Cheers!

This might be the best answer to the SMS bug. I'm starting to get in trouble with my GF for "ignoring" her messages...

I believe ext3/4 have journalling where as ext2 does not? I used a swap partition, & I reckon 96mb would be overkill and may actually do more harm than good as the system will probably slow down with too much in swap

Not really. Just unpack the boot.img and replace the kernel with the new one you compiled.
