Test results
First: arrrghhh and all your supporters - thx sooo much for this work, it is truly incredible and marvellous and I am deeply thankful for that chance to run Android on that Device.
I ran the FroYo for a few days and it ran stable and smooth, no battery drain on my end, just problems connecting via USB, but that's Desktop-Sided, bad OBEX-driver install by MyPhoneExplorer, syncing Thunderbird via WiFi now, all fine.
Ginger runs even faster and more responsive, also no rad batt drainage, stable too - only if I activate Wifi I always end up with an automated softreset after a few minutes.
I can connect, I see the IP, all fine, but then it resets. not in browser, no workload on WiFi, just connected, and leaving it for a minute or two - bam, down we go.
HW Info and WinMo-ROM in sig, using the integrated Kernel - if it auto-installs, otherwise its the one from the latest 2.2.2 FroYo Build - what else can I post...
Provider (prolly wont matter) is o2, habitat is Germany...
No clean wipe of the SD Card beforehand, 8 GB Card, 2.44 GB free, class 2 sdhc card (SanDisk).
startup modified only with "german_raph" kb-layout.
Any pointers? Any info needed?
thx so much for all the work that went into this project and all the best from Germany!
Edit: Trying different WinMo ROMs now, Blackstone Thread of this showed a
guy who solved said prob with a fresh 6.1 ROM instead of his 6.5 ROM - giving it a try...
Add.: So far it's running smooth w/ WiFi on - running the
latest German Stock ROM
Add.:
- I am too ashamed to admit that I mistook your *.CSV File prereq for *.VCF File info for contacts... and thus just realized my mike won't work... but let's not dwell in the past...
- I haven't had a single crash for 30 hrs since I went for a fresh 6.1 Stock ROM. Just some "sorry, App won't react, force quit or wait" - but at 12-20 MB free RAM that's logical and not too often.
- Batt drain is worse than I thought, still checking if background processes are causing it - 6 hrs and down to 13% (which is inaccurate of course).
- MX Player seems either too load heavy or incapable of playing any vid files, still checking...
Add.:
- Batt drain is known problem from cell standby - tho network coverage is perfect in these parts, still working on identifying the problem
- In flight mode (which I use often during sleep times) time is off by about 10-12 min. after about 8 hrs. network provider is off by 2 mins - I dont care much for that, others do as I read. ClockSync helps out, still testing, cause it works with NTP (Network Time Protocol) and in flight mode this obviously cant be the proper solution... might be kernel problems? Can't tell yet.
- Free RAM is about 30 MB on startup
Add.:
- "android.process.acore shut down on me right after startup - uninstalled latest apps thru MyPhoneExplorer, still no chance, had to kill data.img and reconfigure. Last tests were OMNAnd+ and GPS Test.
- random flickering and activating capacitive keys might be solveable thru editing of raph_navi_pad.kl with root explorer - but whenever I do and reboot it's reset. seems it's fresh reloaded when android is loaded - can't tell yet. Prolly need to "#"-out the DPAD_UP, DPAD_DOWN, DPAD_RIGHT and DPAD_LEFT to stop the random moves - tho every capa-button could be deactivated - i still hope its really just the capa-button, not the physical one underneath as well - tho even the physical DPas is useless to me b/c of the bad Design of the button layout.
Add.:
Whatever I try to deactivate that blasted DPAD so that it would not select everything randomly and deselect MY selection - I cant manage to do it! I mounted and changed rootfs.img and the keyboard layouts in it, i mounted and altered system.ext2 but it still doesn't deactivate the keypad. What do I have to alter or delete to stop that capacitive Buttons from working?
