Guest Puzzles Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) Hi, I'm now using Swedish Spring on my Gen1 San Francisco and I'm quite happy with it. The only bad side is that it seems not to be good enough for games (Cyanogenmod Sunshine is way better) as it lags, especially in Fruit Ninja. So I'm asking - is there a better kernel for games on a Gen1 phone? I would really like to play Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja and any other game without the lag. Other than that, SS is perfect.

Guest k0zmic Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Have you tried the alternative kernels in the first post of SS like th Comviq one? They supposedly help with Angry Birds lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Puzzles Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I stated twice that my phone is a Gen1. These kernels are for Gen2 phones only. But will certainly try the alternative one that is (supposedly) for Gen1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbaw Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 upgrade to gen2 & use a gingerbread rom, gingerbread makes more difference to the speed of games than the kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Puzzles Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) Um well... OK. I haven't seen a rooting application for Gingerbread. I want to unroot it - just to be sure. And Fruit Ninja particularly used to work perfectly on the stock Orange ROM. Edited July 7, 2011 by Puzzles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest k0zmic Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Just use one of Wbaw's excellent TPT's, no need to root. Gen 2 and a Gingerbread ROM of your choice in one hit. You can also downgrade to Gen 1 if you need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest villor Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I know, but most ROMs come already rooted. Yeah, but most ROMs also has Superuser installed. It works like UAC on Windows 7/vista. No applications can gain root access without you permitting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mau34 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 is it really this hard to upgrade to gen 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Puzzles Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 No. But with some ROMs the market does not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Puzzles Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Which ROM's? Most of the 2.2 ROMs in fact. Swedish Spring, the stock ROMs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shmizan Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Most of the 2.2 ROMs in fact. Swedish Spring, the stock ROMs... I wonder how people reach such far out and stupid conclusions. do you really think such ROMs would be so popular if they didn't have Market working?

Guest ufoman Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Please do not flame when you do not know what I'm talking about. Market does not work with converted Gen2 devices... Maybe it does not work if your IMEI got destroyed in the process? I've converted my Blade to GEN2 using Windows flasher, my IMEI is intact and I can use Market all right...

Same as well, usually the problems with Market on Gen 2 are because the cache partition is too small so downloads get stuck at 'starting download' or w.e.

Ahh, I believe you have to repartition using the TPT's, choose one with a 15MB Cache. But since I didn't use the TPT method I don't know much about it myself other than what I've read so do get second opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondlife Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Thought SS was supposed to move the cache to RAM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flshg Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Dont all the newer roms use RAM as cache i.e. SS, CM7, GSF? I dont think the cache size is the problem, the OP probably has some other issue thats causing the market problems. If using a 'real' cache partition is preferred, then 15mb is probably too small as there are apps that are greater than that size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snowbord Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) The problem lies in the cache size. I have flashed 2 blades, one an orange one like yours, first gen, and one a gen 2, Z3, from Globul, which I'm sure you're aware of. :blink: Market works fine on both converted Orange gen1 to gen2 in SS, as well as the gen2 Z3. I have used this rom on stock gen1 and gen2 partitions, as well as 2mb cache resized ones, which you can get here; http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...ded-gen2-blade/ and http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...n2-tpt-upgrade/ SS is a pretty good ROM, but I'm trying to max out my battery, hence am in the process of trying FLB, supposedly to get better battery. Since I resized my partitions, I am now experiencing the cache problems => Market fails. Again, if you have stock partition sizes, Market in SS works fine. As numerous posters have stated - SS mounts to data/cache/ and does it's thing there, hence does not run into Market problems. My request is to find info on how to get the best size partition or an alternative solution to get FLB working well. I'm at this point, so if anyone has tips on good partitioning solutions, let me know. http://android.modaco.com/content-page/335...gen1/page/220/# Furthermore, chill. :huh: Edited July 9, 2011 by snowbord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sold in our country after all :blink: I don't have it though. Okay, thanks for the advice. Will try to experiment from now on. BTW I tried to flash the GLOBUL Z3 ROM to my SF. Again, the market did not work. Everything else did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
