[PATCH] Froyo 8-1-2010 Market, Audio, 32M VM Heap

[drPheta]

IMO, the 8/1/2010 leak is pretty darned nice. I took Adrenalyne's patch and added an audio fix for streaming AAC issues, and increased the VM Heap size to 32MB.

Things to note.

Pros:
1. Pandora and Slacker sound cleaner with this
2. Market sees all of my downloads, no problem. I have been able to install all my Google apps, no problem (Sky, Earth, Maps, etc.)
3. My Quadrant score 1281
4. My Linpack score 38.392

Cons:
1. m.youtube.com in the browser will not work. However, the YouTube app will stream videos fine.


No need to rename the .zip file. Just load it via clockwork.
Or, you can extract the build.prop file and push it to /system/app (remember you need to be in recovery with /system mounted.)

EDIT 8/9/2010:
Added file to remove audio patch, but still keep Market Fix and 32MB VM Heap size.

noticed you edited the post.. i ran this zip when you first put it up. can early adopters push future without problems? or is there no difference between OG file and update?

 

[drPheta]

Yeah, the file hasn't changed. If it does, I will note a changelog. Go ahead and run it. While you're at it, can you check to see if m.youtube.com works in any of your browsers? Some people have mentioned to me that it doesn't work.

Works on mine, though.

 

[coontag]

sorry dr. i didn't realize that you didn't post the original market fix patch. Thats whats adding to my confusion. Shall we still assume we can push future updates without catastrophic effects?

i am figuring yes ... but try to play it somewhat safe.

 

[drPheta]

Yeah, this is just a change to the build.prop file to match the latest leak. Also, the stagefright change and 32MB Heap is included in this prop. I just put it up for the sake of others who hate the "Pandora/Slacker in-a-cave" sound. It does come at the expense of running m.youtube.com videos in your browser.

Although, the YouTube app works fine.

+2 on ota 8/1. runs much better that OTA #1. had several issues with FC, general lag, and most of all handcent... and if i can't sms, it ain't no good'

as for the m.youtube everything loads except video... i get " sorry, this vid cannot..." in both stock browser as well as dolphin hd

Youtube app DOES work

 

[drPheta]

Thanks for the confirmation.

I listen to music more than youtube, anyway. And when I do go to youtube, it's through the APP, so no biggie for me. Hope it holds well for everyone else.

m.youtube.com doesn't load videos.. but love the build..

 

[letum00]

Any luck with Listen? I haven't been able to use it since upgrading to a 2.2 build.

I'm using the leak from 7/27 and I just installed it, It started no problem. It even remembered the podcasts I had subscribed to. I tried listening to an episode and it started playing fine.

 

[drPheta]

I don't use Listen, so I couldn't help you there.

I looked at what was changed and only added the vm 32 heap...

I use m.youtube.com a lot.

Thanks!

Thanks!

can you put your version up? i would love to have the 32vm heap, but dont want to lose m.youtube.com either.

Thanks!

 

[supremex3]

M.YouTube.com doesn't work.. but u can always watch it desktop mode

 

[v941726]

gotta ask the usual. can this be undone for the final ota?


did the patch anyway. now youtube doesnt play anymore. it did before the patch

 

[drPheta]

Yeah, the first post indicated you will lose m.youtube.com. Full desktop youtube.com will work, as well as YouTube app.

For reverting, no need when you update to the OTAs. The build.prop file will be replaced by whatever build.prop file is included in any ROM. Additionally, if you flash any ROM, you'll lose this update.

EDIT:
added a file to remove the audio fix, but still maintain the market fix and 32MB VM heap. See OP for the file.

will this help my situation?

xmradio app stops for a few mins every 30 sec as if buffering. Pandora will stop after each song unless you unlock the screen.
does this patch help call quality?
Is it already built into my skyraider?

I'm running skyraider 3.2 rc3 with 2.15.00.0728 radio, kernel 2.6.32.15

Thanks for any guidance
