[NEWS]Gingerbread comes.

[Guest Ze Mitras]

I think I know what the problem is. If you examine the root you'll see that /dalvik-cache is moved to /cache to free up more /data storage space for apps. However, the /cache has only been allocated 75MB of memory so in reality you'll run out of space to store the dalvik-cache long before you run out of space in /data. I suspect that the Market downloads the temporary install files in cache before installing it and therefore when you are trying to install a large app from the market it will fail because there is no more space in /cache (all used up by /dalvik-cache).

I'm pretty sure that previously (either before Gingerbread or the new market app) the install files are actually stored in the SD card instead of /cache. You can look at your /sdcard/download folder and you should see files such as downloadfile-1.apk etc and I believe they are what remains from the previous Market downloads. Perhaps Google doesn't want ppl sharing these files and so made it more difficult by moving the install files to /cache.

Mayb Roggin could kindly increase the partition allocation of /cache so we don't have to uninstall apps in order to download large apps from the Market. I actually like dalvik to cache but the current storage allocation just doesn't make sense. I think currently the space allocation of the Rom is not very efficient. Thanks : )

Well observed :D

This problem is present in roggin's CM 6.1 v1.2 too.

Roggin I've been using this fantastic ROM a few days now. For your information (hoping to help to improve this great rom) my bug list, detailed report is:

- Even after disabling JIT, I got one or two random reboots when starting some APPs.

- Angry Birds gives FC when it is located in the FAT partiton (Froyo app2sd), but when moving it to internal memory, it runs fine!

- When the phone finds an open WIFI network, it doesn't place a notification at the notification bar.

- In the notification bar, the buttons for enabling/disabling mobile data give me the oposite result: When it's enabled I get no mobile data, when it's disabled, I get mobile data.

- When in the lock screen, there is a white line in the bottom of the screen.

- SMS Led it isn't working (does anyone have this issue too?)

- As others have reported, the right edge of the screen is less "touch responsive"

Other than this, I can't seem to find some options that the previous roggin CM6.1 used to have:

- Disable the network operator name, in both notificaton bar and lock screen

- option to show the remaining battery percentage

Despite this, the ROM is very usable, and FAST even without JIT, which I found no difference after disabling it. If JIT is present in all acer based ROMs, then let me tell you that JIT is not needed at all, because this ROM without JIT is way faster than any other Acer based ROM.

Multitasking "is working": I can have the Angry birds game opened, and Dolphin HD browser opened too, and switch between them and the main menu, without the phone closing any of them. And, the most important part, the ROM is still fast in this situation.

Thanks!

just to add to what Ze Mitras is saying, I've also disabled JIT browsing worked for a while, but then same as before it kept rebooting. then I took out the dithering option as well again browsers worked for a while then again reboots.

It seems like some memory gets full and totals the ROM, it's a shame as it one of the best on everthing else.

Hi Tom,

Ok, I will take a look at it, but it's weird, I make it with full langs. :D

Thanks.

Same problem, español is lost.

Thanks

I've posted the solution here (which works for CM and MIUI (I'm not sure if the boot.img works with MIUI but the used method - init.rc patched - works)):

http://android.modaco.com/index.php?s=&amp...t&p=1546427

Tomorrow I can make a new boot.img to fix it, if no one post it first.

Hey zbrin thanks so much for solving this problem! I just edited init.rc from root explorer and it worked perfectly! If anyone is stuck in an apparent bootloop after applying the fix it could be because your /data is full. (dalvik-cache took up around 60 MB for me) Fortunately A2SD (the official method through settings) works great for this rom and I'm able to lighten /data quite a bit. Thanks again!

Coming from MIUI I'm lovin the speed and other gingerbread goodness in this rom : ) hopefully battery consumption will be fixed and then it'll be pretty awesome!

[Guest Nesli]

Hi Roggin, any news from development? :D

[Guest SmithyBeatz]

could someone give me an instruction how i modefy the init.rc.

first i tried to flash the update_removedalvik2cache.zip but the phone yust shows a froyo bootscreen and even after 10min waiting it didnt skipt that bootscreen.

than i deleted the line in init.rc from root explorer and executed the two commands over cmd, so far so good. after i did that nearly every app fc same with cm-settings.

when i reboot a backup restores the init.rc and i can do the steps again.

i also tried to extract the boot.img on the pc i googlet for programms but non of them worked. wich programm do you use for img files to extract and build them?

so how to do i right? i´m new to the smartphone and android world, so sorry when i ask questions that where ask bevor. its hard to get an overview of all the posts

p.s. same probem with haptic-feedback, the only way to get it of is to change a value in sys/modules/avr/parameters/vibr but after every reboot.....the backup comes.

hope my english is readable

edit:

after some more tries i get this.

C:\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell busybox rm /data/dalvik-cache

rm: /data/dalvik-cache: is a directory

C:\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell busybox mkdir /data/dalvik-cache

mkdir: can't create directory '/data/dalvik-cache': File exists

Hi Roggin, any news from development? :P

Nesli,

sorry, this few days is working on memory in LiquidE thing B)

I will update new version soon :D

Thanks

[Guest yapa73]

Hello, unfortunately, after too many reboots, I had to resign to change Roms, look with great anticipation, the next release. Roggin;-) what can you anticipate? New Kernel for Liquid Liquid A1 and E, set the countless restarts? application that you chose for the camera? that the current version or that of Metal? ...

Mainly look with great anticipation, the fixing of the continuous reboots. probblema solved this, I think now, this is the best Roms as performance and stability. although it is beta.

Waiting for good news, good job everyone;-), and thanks very much

yann

[Guest SmithyBeatz]

Hey zbrin thanks so much for solving this problem! I just edited init.rc from root explorer and it worked perfectly!

could you please explain how you did that. when i delete the line its back there when i reboot. i renamed, removed and deleted the init.rc.bak but it comes back. i think it comes from the boot.img.

when i edit the file an do the two commands (without rebooting) nothing works.

[Guest Rippan]

Anyone more than me that experience this rom as laggy? After reading almost every page in this thread no one complains on the smoothness of the rom. Anyone know why i'm having a laggy experince? Tried different launchers, no difference.

Which one works best with gingerbread?

With a laggy experince i mean that the appdrawer, switching homescreens, scroll through menus lags even though it's OC'd to 998mhz.

Anyone have a solution?

[Guest fischschneehase]

try the gingerbread default launcher you can find it in the market and turn of jit

I think that after reboot your ramdisk content gets refreshed so you can't edit it like that. As promised I created a boot.img for this ROM with that line removed.

Just flash one, if you get a bootloop right after Acer logo just try the other.I don't have this ROM now so I can't test, just tell me which one works so I can remove the other from the post.

A) http://www.multiupload.com/0FGDWWW9E5 (deploy 0)

:D http://www.multiupload.com/LXO06E91A6 (deploy 1)

You can now execute both commands:

adb shell busybox rm /data/dalvik-cache

adb shell busybox mkdir /data/dalvik-cache

adb reboot (you need to reboot after)

You can also delete/create that dir with root explorer or equivalent.

thank you very much, i tried it myselfe but it was impossible for me to change the boot.img

for me the "b" version worked!

now someone has to fix the random reboots, than it´s the best rom. really love it.

a MIUI version based on gingerbread would be cool :-)

[Guest thongrim]

I think this rom is great. I will try it as soon as possible. I have only one question: is the old app2sd method working? (the one which uses ext2 partition)

Thanks

I'm using Go Launcher and I have to say it works very very well... The rom is the most snappy I've ever tried... I just miss using Layar :D

But I have to say this is far better (in speed) than any other costum rom I've ever used...

yes ,using thepasto 's method (see about around page 28)

I had no idea how it worked for me without flashing a patched boot.img, may be the act of removing and creating /data/dalvik-cache is enough to break dalvik to cache? I have now flashed the patched boot.img and it's running fine. However, according to your post on the cm 6.1 thread the /system/app dalvik cache should be in /cache but this is not the case. Right now after wiping both /cache/dalvik-cache and /data/dalvik-cache all the dalvik-cache seems to have regenerated in /data/dalvik-cache.

Thanks again for this patch!

[Guest Loeb87]

with this rom I can not find in the market the official twitter app, what is the reason?

[Guest Nesli]

It is possible to implement Gingerbread amazing old-tv animation. Yesterday, I saw it on friend´s N1, it is perfect :P

It´s something like that -

:D

Hmm, I haven't wiped the /cache/dalvik-cache folder, instead I've just deleted the files that were started with "data@" and ones from the system that I didn't needed. At least this way the new system dalvik cache generated is created on cache and not on data but I will test that further. I'm testing this on CM 6 and not on this GB ROM so I'm not 100% sure it behaves the same way.

[Guest SmithyBeatz]

it´s already impelented you can select the screen-off animation in the cm-settings

[Guest Barbatecla]

Hello,

could put the Castilian / Spanish in the language settings?

Thank you and your ROM is fine. :D

[Guest Nesli]

TO SmithyBeatz

Yes, I have already checked this, but it doesn´t change anything, don´t work :D For you, animation is functional ?
