Firstly, THANK YOU to the developers! After some frustration (mainly sue to me being a complete noobie to android), I managed to get a working install of Beta 2 on my I8000. I love it.

The only thing preventing me from using in daily use now is Bluetooth. I can't get the bluetooth to turn on. I know the answer is probably already addressed in this forum, but I cannot get the search function to work, (I know this is an orgoing issue).

Can anyone advise, please?

Thanks in advance.

****Sorry, just read the threads to see that Bluetooth is not really working properly yet. My apologies. Any idea on working bluetooth?***

in my case (and i think is a major problem for almost everyone), the main issue that prevent to use it daily is the battery drain, and the high temperature of the SD Card...,

but i am hopeful!!!

thanks devs!!!!

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BATTERY DRAIN AND THE SD CARD IS HEATING:

Check by settings, about phone, battery use, cell standby - and if you have time without signal you can do the following:

1. turn the phone to airplane mode and leave it for one minute;

2. turn airplane mode off;

3. dial *#*#4636#*#* and there set your type of network. I have set "GSM Only" because my network is gsm type.

4. you can also switch "use only 2G" ON but I am still not sure how much battery you save with this. I am using always ON.

Now, after 24 hours of doing this, my battery is about 40%, I have no "time without signal" and my phone is not heating anymore.

I hope that helps!

P.S. You have to do this every time you are restarting the phone.

kyda,

how do i apply this?

You meant the updates posted by kgp700?

You should ask him :huh:

If it was me, I would just change the corresponding lines in the init.rc file and append mount.sh to the system/etc/mount.sh

perl -p -i.bak -e 's/sched_latency_ns\s+10000000/sched_latency_ns 20000000/' init.rc

perl -p -i.bak -e 's/dirty_background_ratio\s+5/dirty_background_ratio 60/' init.rc

cat mount.sh >> system/etc/mount.sh

or just use your favourite editor.

For those asking me for the o2b2update.sh here it is, I have not tested it, I could not test it sorry,

I have also included the uninstall if the update gives you problems, I hope that also works.

o2b2update_kgptweaks.zip

Really helpful benchmark. Only one question: you are measuring I/O ops per second ?

It's Quadrant 1.11 score.

hi guys... first of all, great work on the Beta2, very anxious to see the next update with froyo 2.2..

I skimmed through the topic but couldn't find anything about my doubt, and also the search function doesn't seem to work. I'm trying to set a pin to unlock the screen but it only gives me an option to create the draw pattern, there are no other options (I saw in other phone that this option should be available). Has anybody noticed this and have a way to enable this feature?

thank you

thnals alexovy for your advice, i made what you said,

the "time without signal" went to 0 now, but i stil have the battery drain problem

i lost 50% in 3 hours, without using the phone a lot... :huh:

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BATTERY DRAIN AND THE SD CARD IS HEATING:

Check by settings, about phone, battery use, cell standby - and if you have time without signal you can do the following:

1. turn the phone to airplane mode and leave it for one minute;

With this changes it's important to know that large_file isn't supported.

so either you need to clear the option large_file (and also flex_bg i think) from the ext4 file system (which is set by default with mkfs.ext4) :

tune2fs -O ^large_file /dev/...
Or add (recommended!)
CONFIG_LBDAF=y

to the .config file.

Thanks for the picture!

Now we know what our battery usage under android should look like.
