i am using drizzys new hero rom and i would like to know if the system virtual memory needs to be enabled in the user.conf for bfs to work...and part 2... are there any advantages to having the sys vm enabled or not...thanx lots
BFS is in the kernel, AFAIK user.conf can't mess with what's already in the kernel. If you're using 1.4 or up, it's already enabled.
thanks for your help...still curious about the sys vm question tho

Can the Donut market be put onto a hero build wuold it be as simple as pushing the market apk or is there more to it then that? and if pushing it is possible what are the commands for cyan 4.1.11.1 donut market to jacheroski 2.2b.
not possible. Hero = android 1.5
THX 4 the help
makes sense and another question, if im using jacheroski 2.2b with the extra ram hack and I flash back over to cyanogen 4.1.11.1 will I still have the ramhack ? and what if I did a nandroid restore of cyan would it still be there?
No RAM hack is kernel based. The kernel is located in the boot.img so if you make a nandroid backup yes the kernel hack will be in the backup
cool
thx just wanted to know if it was kernal.
Sorry if I'm not using the search box correctly (again, haha).
I'm trying to find out if there's a boot.img RAM hack I can us on Manup's Eclair ROM (1.5) that won't replace BFS with CFS (such as this one). I know CFS is more stable, but I've had no issues with BFS and it's much faster IMO.
Any help would be awesome! :-]
Okay, search finally came through for me, found a method that kills BT, but I don't use it (EVER) so that's alright. ^_^
I know that after XXJPY we don't have no more lag, so the "lagfix" is just a name for this filesystem convertions that we learned to love here.
I stoped using EXT4 convertions since XXJPY because the custom ROMs arround recomends disabling any "lagfix" before a new install or update... but I have a question here.
I'm aways using kernels that support EXT4 filesystems, so why I have to disable the "lagfix" to make any update? If I'm going from a Darky's ROM to a new Darky's ROM version ou changing from hardcore's to supercurio's kernels, when all this systems are suposed to work with EXT filesystems, why I need to disable the "lagfix" before making this changes?
Thanks!

Different lagfix etc plus who wants to break the phone instead of disabling a lagfix .
You can always try not disabling lagfix .
jje
At least in the last iterations of Darky, you're not forced to disable the Voodoo lagfix if you had it installed, provided that you installed it with Darky's previous version. Nevertheless, since Kernels are always improving and ROM makers put them in their ROMs, it's always a good security measure to uninstall the lagfix. With devices as expensive as this one, risk-taking must be reduced.
Hmm Ok I will disable.
Thank you guys

Hey guys I'm a bit new to OC/UV and I need a little clarification regarding it. I'm using Onix Kernel on Andromeda3 overclocked to 1.2 ghz and lets say I wanted to switch the rom or kernel. Is it necessary to delete the settings? Do I just delete the app before flashing the new kernel/rom?
Nope, no need to uninstall the voltage control app. Just flash your new kernel and you'll be good to go. Be aware that if you open the app again on a kernel that does not allow oc, you'll get a friendly " bazinga" message telling you that the kernel is not supported.
Continuum 5.5 and existz's latest......
Thanks man, helps a lot

It is not necessary sometimes, But sometimes it is. Especially if the voltages for the kernel change at ll, that would make your previous 'stable' settings possibly not so stable- resulting in a bootloop or any other crashing. Its always safe practice to remove your boot settings before flashing a new kernel. If that kernel is OC/UV capable and your settings stick, but aren't good for that particular build- you may find yourself having to delete those settings anyway.
You can grab the file in my sig and flash from recovery if you accidentally save settings as boot- or forget to remove your settings- It's a nice gem to have on your SD card if your an Overclocker. NOTE: It will only flash in CWM3.x. So if your running a gingerbread ROM- you can use the zip file
Hi,
I'd like to ask three questions related to three different development threads, but can't ask there as I'm new, so I post them here.
Thread: [ROM][Gingerbread][GRJ22][07/11/2011]COS-DS
Is there any chance of enabling compcache in COS-DS when using a different kernel?
I prefer farmatitos kernel because the battery life almost doubles when usage is minimal.
With stock kernel and little usage I get 60 hours max. With farmatitos 120.
I tried every ROM available and ginger yoshi was the only one working with farmatitos and compcache, but I have some big issue with ginger yoshi, which I described in the yoshi thread.
Thread: Ginger yoshi 1.2.1 (android 2.3.4) for 32b and 32a old and new radio ^_^
I have an issue with ginger yoshi 1.1/1.2/1.2.1/1.2.1fix1 related to low memory.
Directly after wiping and installing I go to "Manage applications/Active services" and there is only ~10MB of free RAM.
After installing some apps the space drops to zero despite any compcache settings. Many services are continuously restarted.
With COS-DS the free RAM after wiping and installing is ~40MB. Even after installing every app there's still ~15MB free and nothing ever gets restarted.
Is there anything I can do about it?
Thread: PowerSaverKernel - Usb battery drain bugs solved [UPDATED 2011/06/12]
is there any possibility to enable compcache when using this kernel with any other rom than ginger yoshi?
Either the roms option to enable compcache disappears (COS-DS) or it has no effect (ADS_Magpie)
My Phone: Dream/G1/32B/2.22.28.25/1.33.0013d
I have solved Question 1 and 3 by myself.
Found the COS-DS compcache startup script (/etc/init.d/12zram_compcache) and added the following two lines:
cd /system/lib/modules/2.6.35.13-farmatito-pershoot-ds+/kernel/drivers/staging/zram/
modprobe zram
compcache is working now.
The question about my ginger yoshi issue remains.
Where did you get farmatitos kernel?
From farmatito PowerSaverKernel-thread I wrote in the first post

Thanks. I've already found. My battery is saved)

Hello,
you can add the module to 04modules init script to be probed at startup:
~ # grep ^MODULES /etc/init.d/04modules
MODULES="ipv6 zram"
