mssmison's Eclair V8 April 7th

[mssmison]

I've done everything I can to audio. I'm sorry guys but I can't figure out bluetooth audio. Someone start a bounty and we'll see if we can get DZO to fix it I'm going to be slowing down on releases for a while, I'll still help people out, but don't expect much new from me for a while. If you're working on a build and have a question pm me and I'll help you out

V8
We're going QVGA only on this one.
Now based on my own source tree build.
Updated messaging app, check settings within app to change settings, now full screen.
Full screen AOSP apps.
Updated Helix Launcher, (app drawer is 5x5 and transparent)
New 'Car Home' Launcher from the droid 2.1 update. Nicer square launcher. much more car friendly I think.
Optimize on first boot. It will take a little longer..
Spare Parts now in Settings
No more swap or compache


Instructions;
I recommend you wipe, it may work if you don't but you may have issues
Boot, when launcher first opens, do menu ->confirgure to set to full screen.
The notifications pull down is accessible by doing menu->notifications while on the launcher.

Known Issues
Possible landscape issues with Launcher
No BT audio
No camera


V7 Changes;
- Optimize on first boot. It will take a little longer..
- Random Boot animation, Create a folder on your sdcard called bootanimation and put them in there (get some from here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624480)- you MUST remove the spaces in the names.
- minor cleanups to fs.
- removed corpcal, (it really slows things down) install via update file
- Removed Bruts maps, latest maps is way better,
- Fixed VogueParts issue for converting to hvga
- Proper Vending.apk for all res (thanks to polyrhythmic)
- Removed AlarmClock.apk (donut) and replaced with Vogueified (new word) DeskClock
- updated news and weather widget to work with deskclock
- Adjusted prop for market.
- Added Nav Launcher
- Added Dialer One. More like htc dialer, auto contacts lookup etc.
- Some more speed tweaks

PREVIOUS CHANGES;
V .6a
Changes.
Nothing changed with the system, only the config app.
Vogue Parts app changes;
- Removed the swappiness option for compache, (it wasn;t working properly) I set swappiness to be static at 60
-Changed the way optional apps are installed (now installed to /data/app for update purposes)


What's not working?
Bluetooth audio, (regular bluetooth connections work fine, just not audio)
Camera, (it's on the list I promise)

Recommended paritions on sd card
2 ext2 paritions, 1 linux swap parition

Currently DZO has posted an updated 320x240 nbh on his site. I've asked him to put the rest of the resolutions on as well.

mssmison,
Glad you are back with your builds!
Questions...
Q-1: You mentioned "Flash".Does this mean this won't run on an SD card?
Q-2: You mentioned this is a "320x480 only right now".
So, this won't work on my Vogue?

Thank you!

You can use 320x480 on the Vogue. Hero builds use 320x480 and they look great

Not sure about haret. 320 x 480 just means you need to flash the 320 x 480 nbh for it to work.

mssmison - Do you got any screenies? Did you get the nexus launcher in this build?

 

[Reddog80p]

I'm getting launcher force closes and restarts but not to the boot screen just the splash screen. I've never experienced this on any build. I did a fresh install and flashed the nbh that was included. It was real laggy but after a couple restarts and waits on launcher force closes it did speed up a bit.

 

[mssmison]

hmmm, try another fresh erase and install, after setup wizard let it sit till it's fully loaded before you do anything.

Great work!
Sorry if Kaiser folk annoy you but was wondering if anything was done to the .nbh (changing the size of system/data partitions, etc.) to make this work on the vogue? I'd like to try it on my kaiser but was wondering if I need to tweak anything before i flash.

Don't worry, I don't plan to change a couple things and release it as my own
If there is something to change in the nbh I might upload a couple for Kaiser users with your permission.

I think you just need to select the eclair3ddrivers in system type, when creating the zImage

thanks for posting the screens

Drewden - How's this work for you? how's the speed for you compare to the original eclair build? I couldn't get this build working quite right but I'm going to attempt it again later today. The first norootfs build worked pretty good for me and was pretty fast for an eclair build.

 

[TheKartus]

I tried to add my own apps into the system image but I am getting an issue with the installation of the .tar file. Its telling me I don't have enough space... Should I make a bigger partition on my sd card for the system image?

I'm in the same boat. version 1 + the update worked awesome. it was fast and never really gave any problems beside the hw3d stuff not working properly.

This build is pretty slow, and the launcher is constantly force closing or hanging the phone when trying to open the launcher.

I did get the launcher to open once, and it looked sweet. if this build could get tweaked to run as fast as the first build and be more stable it would great.

Lots of potential here, but for now i'm going back to 1.0 as the os is more stable.

My bad wrong thread

 

[sshark]

I got this one running pretty alright, I am using Home++ app so no FC issue for me. It's faster and much stable compared to 1.0, Dialer/Phone app is tad bit faster. Compcache/Swap setting is cool.

But I am use to 240 build, so I am not getting any love. I am looking forward for QVGA build that Craig talked about...


EDIT: It gets even more responsive when Compcache is reduced to 16 (did after drewden said). Even dialer comes in less than a second. Now just want 240 version...

It's running pretty well for eclair. it has its moments but I set the homescreen to stay in memory and enabled compcache @ 16 meg. The launcher fc's stopped after that. I'm not too sure on the compcache/swap thing so if somebody could fill me in that'd be great, as id like to know the optimal setting.

you could also try setting max app processes to 4 in development settings
