The main reason of the restart during installing apps is because Market app, Market updater, and et.c apps are in the ram, and the devices ram is getting ovrloaded.

And if you simply perform the a2sd lowmem-moderate. this will make sure that your ram will never get overloaded.

So you will allways have at least 30MB of ram available for the Android System.

So you will get pretty nice working android Phone (Pulse).

And to make sure that some apps loaded in ram will stay there until you stop the process, or some higher priority app take it's place.

Simply try it.

You just have nothing to loose.

The problem is in init.rc

In al Kernels kreated for the CM6 Ported rom for Pulse

I dont the problem I am having is a ram problem, I did what ve100 advised a while ago to wipe and this time instead of flashing my version of gapps, install gapps tiny from the cm website and they worked but the problem is that the ones on the cm website is outdated, can we use the cm7 gapps with cm6?

you know with the command "a2sd lowmem-moderate" is it possible to set it as the default memory management setting, I was thinking it over maybe put it in an init script?

I will definitely look into that, out of curiousity could someone tell me what languages are supported in the rom, ive never looked because English is my main language

I would prefer you keep the dtapp2sd in rather than out, as I have tried it without when I first swithed to 2.2, but always ran out of space after just a few apps installed.

Something I have noticed is that so far I have just 11% of my ext space used up with dtapps2sd, but I am now suffering from low memory space problems, so I would imagine that some apps are not moving automatically to the DS card. Is this normal.

Also I am still on the last version you did, so what is the easiest way to go onto this version, as last time I did a full wipe, and then reinstalled all the apps, or should I wait until the next version you release ?

Keep up the good work.

ok it was just a general question, I just wanted to see who is using it over dtapp2sd, with my rom you dont need to wipe at all, you only need to wipe when you are coming from some 2.1 or 1.5 rom

Thanks great developer . Actually the Arabic language is supported in this rom but the letters not organized as expected. However. The link which I posted before is Arabic support file for similar Rom.

Thank dear for interesting. I'm really use this rom . By the way right now I'm posting this reply from my u8230 which use your Version :lol:

[Guest twrock]

I was using the build in froyo apps2sd.

But I don't recommend this if you wan't to use widgets.

Espessial Winamp or etc.

But I found the reason why this rom is getting stack from times to times

It's about the lowmemory killer.

The problem is because of thet the low memory killer is set to kill Hidden apps all lower ranked apps are set to, much lower the moderate.

I Can't tell it exact because I'm not at home right now.

But simply set it to moderate via a2sd lowmemory-moderate

and activate swap or compcache

I personally recomend swap over compcache.

But if you have low class sdcard, then compcache will be much better solution.

set the swappiness somewhere between 30-60.

a2sd swappy45 was the best solution for me.

And swap partition from 32-128MB.

I was using 128, but now I repartition my sdcard and set 64MB swap partition.

But it's work good with compcache.

But set the up threshol to 45, and use OC for sure.

somewhere between 614Mhz-690Mhz.

And if you don't care abot the battery live?

Well use the 710Mhz whe you play games.

But don play games with overclocked CPU while the phone is connected to Charger.

Best regards

Thanks toti. I always like hearing what others are doing and especially WHY they are doing that.

...

Sorry, but I think it must be: a2sd lowmem-moderate

(For anybody who wants to use Toti's settings)

ciao. calculate

[Guest EXBARBOSS]

Is there any posibility to improve performance. After 2 weeks device is in use, I've realized it works very slooooooooowly. I have boot with 691MHz. Or it is consequences of 2.2 porting?

[Guest gocegi]

When will the version 6 of this rom gonna be released?

Is anybody even bothering with this anymore?

Yes this is still in development, I am at the moment balancing university work with this rom, I am planning on releasing another beta soon and that will be the last beta before it goes final

[Guest twrock]

My experience is that the lowmen-moderate setting "disable" the multitasking. It can hold just a few apps in the RAM.

I ran my phone with swappy set to 45 and lowmem-moderate for the past 24 hours, and saw my phone noticeably slow down. Lots of lag and even a few "not responding" errors. So I set swappy back to 30 and lowmem-default. Things are back to being snappy for me, at least over the last hour.

I don't understand why we all get such different results with supposedly the same settings. I suppose it could be that I'm running a less modified CM rom and not using the 710 kernel, but I really don't know. :lol: (I'm using a very slightly modified version of Tom's rom with the 691 kernel.)

I realy don't know what to say?

Now I wrote a script which wil let the lowmemory killer to keep 25MB fre ram memory all the time. And with swap or compcachactivated you will get multitasking as wekk as speed and stability.

I'morking of one totally new script now, which will drop uot the need of dta2sd.

In firstboot it'll check is there a ext partition and moove the app and app-private to it. If not it' create a hidden folder. apps2sd in the sdcard and moove there those folders. And then create symlinks to system. Also in the terminal you will be abble to controll everything. Move the dalvik-cache. Mount and umount the.swap partition, if it's present. If not create swqpfile and etc. Controll the lowmemory killer. In one word' everithing and even more than dta2sd.

First let me finish it, and you will find this in modif-TOTI folder in the Richards dropbox.

Also I have plans to implement the cpufreq controll in this script.

And olso I think to make a abbility to create a cirtual ext2 disk file and mount it on /system/sd if the ext partition doesn't present.

Best regards

Sounds nice, the CPU-Freq-Controll is a really missing feature... i use a Script for that with GScript but it only works until the next boot, then i had to activate it again... so a startup-script would be very nice...

Yes dear we are waiting to test :)

[Guest thisweb]

Toti you are great!

Why not just use swapper2 app from the market? It works well for me and very easy to set up. No ext partition needed or DTat2sd. Aslo you can change the settings and swap size anytime you like in seconds.

You are still great of course Toti!!. I do prefer DTa2sd than froyo it does a better job at everything but most importantly it uses less phone mem for apps than froyo, which is the whole point I figured..

The problem with Swapper2 is that it stays in ram and I'm using dta2sd instead of the froyo one, because it is much faster, so I'm using the dartremor swap, too. But Toti's idea sounds really good, so we'll see how the perfromance is.

Still working.

But I'll have much more free time this weekend.

So my plans are to release the script this weekend.

So fare so good.

The nice think is that When I create ext2 VDisk file, it's mount on /sd-ext with no problem. And it can be used as real ext2 partition.

:lol:

Nice.

And what surprise me is that it is really fast.

I didn't upload my work in the folder yet.

Still working.

But there is one very bad thing.

You won't be able to mount the sdcard as mass storage device via USB if you move the dalvik cache to sdcard.

Because the /dalvik-cache folder will be missing.

So I'm not sure if this is some very good solution.

About the CPU control.

so fare, so good.

I just finish that part after noon.

I'll upload my works tomorrow.

Richard & Toti (which I believe are the only people working on this ROM):

This is getting quite of a mess. I think we need a more organized solution for mantaining this ROM. Dropbox just doesn't cut it. You have no way of knowing who edited what, when, why... I really think we should set up a GitHub repo and start commiting the changes to there. I propose that we start with CM 0.40, keeping it as stock as possible (IMHO we shouldn't include the gingerbread theme) and adding all of the fixes and tweaks that have been discovered and worked on over the months, bit by bit, commit by commit, so that if we want to revert a file, a build.prop setting, etc, etc... it will be much easier.

Git is not that hard to use, once you've gone past the initial learning curve. If you use Windows, you can always use a GUI like TortoiseGit (Windows Explorer integration, ...). If you use Linux, heil the command line, it's not that hard :lol:

So what do you say?

BTW, Toti, I believe that your alternative A2SD script is a very good idea! Much easier to integrate in the rom, easier to mantain, simpler, (hopefully) faster, ...

If you think its best to work in git over dropbox then go ahead and set it up, toti how hard would you think it would be to port the nightly cm6 to the pulse, I think cm 0.40 is getting old and we need to be on the latest and greatest and the only ways I can see it happening is either tom releases more cm6 updates which is pretty unlikely as he has become pretty quiet and when he does comment it is because he is updating us on the cm7 alpha, he manages to make the cm for the pulse official which is just as if not more unlikely or someone else learns how to do it

As for the current alpha, shall I release it as final (I wont include toti's work so they will most likely be included when we start working in git) and then say were working on v7, or do you think we should start back at the beginning with v1 (perhaps a rebranding :lol:)

Is there currently a full feature list of this mod? What does it offer on top of Tom's CM port?

Toti, your plan sounds really great.

But I agree that you might want to rethink a better solution for cache2sd. Not having USB drive mode would be "deal killer" for me.

Why not try this app:Dual Mount SD Widget，or this:Multi-Mount SD-Card

I think cm 0.40 is getting old ...

oh, toms cm 0.40 with starkos 691 kernel works for me. thats the difference.

wonder how many people using cm6 AIO? i cant even boot it. my pulse always bootloops. with or without factory reset.
