You might not have seen my main post on my Performance Audit, so I thought i'd post a seperate topic.
Basically i've been auditing the LG ROMs for performance tweaks today, and I came across a monstrous cockup by LG!
On device startup there is a piece of code which looks to check if the device is running an engineering build (this is set in the build.prop). If it is, then it sets up the system as such that dexopt doesn't happen at startup (which is normal), but happens on the fly. This is fine for engineering builds, but for user builds, it's a huge and unpredictable system overhead.
Now, in my audit I discovered that LG have manually changed this code to always return 'true' instead of looking at the build.prop! So the device always runs it's dexopt in engineering mode (no pre-dexopt). Crazy!
This explains the slowdowns and random weirdness we have been seeing. I've reversed 3 LG builds and they all have this problem.
I've now fixed it and i've implemented the fix in my Fr7 releases but, well, bad LG!
P
PS For the techies amongst you, let me post the code snippets below.
The 'stock' Google code (smali):
Code:
const-string v5, "eng"
const-string v6, "ro.build.type"
invoke-static {v6}, Landroid/os/SystemProperties;->get(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;
move-result-object v6
invoke-virtual {v5, v6}, Ljava/lang/String;->equals(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z
move-result v5
LG's code (smali):
Code:
const/4 v5, 0x1
LMAO!
Nice find. Where do you find this particular smali?

So is it possible to fix this code ourself?

Heh, I did a top to bottom performance audit. All I knew was 'it's jerkier than it should be' - doesn't give much to go on.

Wow you truly are great. Can't believe that lg who is spending millions of dollars for their devs screwed up bad. w/ the performance edit that you made, your finally starting to tap o2x's full potential. Great great job
The next tym i buy a phone again ill make sure modaco/paul would be supporting it.
can this be fixed without using your MCR

Well, that may be caused by the high pressure they have to release a "final" ROM from the marketing department. If u think about it a moment... the LG Optimus Speed is the first real DualCore Tegra device which is launched worldwide now. I think that the devs could do a better job if they have the time for.
But anyway @Paul:
I think they should send u a crate of beer . You're amazing!!! Keep going so hopefully we will have Gingerbread asap on our LG devices...
Heh...
I was discussing with a guy on a danish forum about rooting and custom roms, he couldn't see how private persons ever could make roms that was _better_ than stock roms. "They dont have the same ability to code and design something that complex"
Well, he should read this thread, lol

In the 80s I paid a visit to IBM UK's techies looking for some new kit on which to run a fairly obscure language (which I still work with today!)
They had some fancy dual processor kit (imagine!) but the language didn't seem to run in more than one thread.
Out of interest they looked at what it was doing through their fancy disassembler and it turned out it was scanning the keyboard several times a second - and then checking if it needed to.
Quality coding - horse, cart...
Great, ive always heard of Sir Paul Obrien but never had the time to aknowledge why your so famous among the android people... Your work is inspiring, hope you stick with 2X for a while now... cheers

Hi Paul !
Nice work !
LG sucks !
I flashed r7 now, but the laggyness in the UI is still there.
I´m using Facebook & Twitter Widgets @ one screen each, and one Screen for my Apps.
Whatever i do, appdrawer open or what else, its not lagfree. It seems the Speed from the Box is disappeared. Is it possible, in your opinion , to get this phone lagfree in future ???

My girl and i both have G1s. Her phone uses DXtop and is not rooted. Her DXtop has the ability to orginize APPs in her APP drawer. I have been looking everywhere and cant find anything that alows my rooted G1 to do the same. Is there anything out there that can manage APPs in the drawer on a rooted G1 running cyan 4.0.4?

Advanced launcher is a home replacement. I'm interested in a theme or application that is not running over my original home but allows the APP drawer to be customized. Besides, it also states that it is not usable with Cyan 4.0.4. Any other ideas?

its not a home replacement like dxtop....it actually replaces the one you have
did you even read the op properly?
I'm confused by myself. So here's the description: u17 ist still the old version for cupcake releases. There is a standalone and a replacement. Both are for cupcake based builds.
Then there ist v2.0.1. It's the new version. It's for donut based builds. And it's currently only the replacement version, standalone will come.
So don't use v2.0.1 on cupcake based builds (like cyanogen's 4.0.4 stable) and don't use u17 or u17_replacement on donut based builds (like the cyanogen experimental branch).

i.e........ u17 is compatible with 4.0.4 but not donut
read the op and use the replacement version instructions to fix up your build

yesterday i spent 3 hours debugging another teams program. they had 6000 SLIC and it crashed on run time. I figured what the hell, im up for a challenge. well the whole program crashed because of one letter
fliers instead of flier
both flier and fliers were valid so it compiled fine but crashed when it was run. the exception being thrown was nowhere near (in a completely unrelated class) where the error was and the debugger on eclipse missed it completely.
turns out, the guys made bets on how long it would take me to find it. (i beat all their wagers. i told them to give me the pot or id report their asses. see, im super productive XP )
because of that diversion, i didnt get my team to finish their project so i made them stay after xD

I've had to go thru line by line studyin everything to see whats been wrong and after awhile everything just blurs together.

Wow!
All I have to say is whow, hold up your going to fast for me!
This is by far the fastest rom I have used on the Vibrant thus far. The response is just insane. Only had it 30 minutes or so so I can't say the battery life will be great.
The radio on this is insane, gps lock in like 10 seconds and within a minute on the tester was a 6m accuracy in a car doing well past the speed limit, I wasn't driving . The speed of the web browser is the fastest experience as well on the Vibrant.
I will say I tried going to Trigger twice but it wouldn't show the launcher at all, I couldn't get it fixed and in a moment of desperation tried this and I think it was fate.
Well done and many thanks!
PS: The Einherjar Dev Team is lucky to have you and if this is the product you can put out, man this dev team is the new hotness. I was already in love with Pepperkake and haven't found a rom till this one that I liked as much.

Hey, I've been using this rom since last night and so far everything is running smooth and stable.
I did not ask him what the deal was, to be honest a bad odin flash might be what did it. However I re odined and reflashed and it did the same thing. I was at work and it was coming up shift end time so I was just trying to get something working for the ride home, plus was waiting for a call from the wife.
My only request is an accurate battery mod with some wicked graphic like the circle that changes colors.
For now and the past 3 roms I've had I just used a widget out of the market so no big deal. Debating whether I want the wifi calling, before at my house I didn't get the best reception, call from wife once i got home was steller quality and no breakup so I think in all honesty the radio may have done the trick and may not require the wifi calling afterall. Plus I'm worried what it might do to this screeching performance.

You're absolutely right about the radio. I found the early versions of the Wifi calling app to be a resource hog, which is why I remove it from this build, and have always removed it from my personal builds. As far as the accurate batery mod, I'm sure that cooking up somewhere. I'm planning on taking some time this weekend to jump into framework modification and theming, so I can start bringing these things to the builds myself. Until then, we have to wait on our wonderful community here to provide us with the mods when new versions drop.

market will update itself, I can add a flashable zip to the op to add back in the Memo.apk. As far as swype, I don't use it personally, UltraKeyboard for me , but I can definitely look into it.
axura zip is missing system/apps for some reason..... can you upload a memo please? thanks!
and the swype is just a suggestion, most people use other keyboards too im guessing.
so i dropped my heroc the other day when getting it off the shelf so that i could create/port something for this phone, sense i was getting bored with my evo, and after i dropped it i picked it up and checked to make sure everything works but only thing that doesn't is installing apps
any suggestions for fixes besides replacing are welcome
also i'd like to know somethings people would like to see done on the hero:

If you really wanted to do something useful, you would get into improving our current driver situation. We have an open-source camera driver (which wraps the OEM camera driver) in the CyanogenMod tree, but it needs work, especially on the camcorder side (camcorder doesn't focus at present).
There's also still a lot of work needed on the GL side. We have the libgles_qcom.so file from previous ROM images, but it isn't 100% compatible with Gingerbread (missing textures in Quadrant, etc).
The YouTube player sometimes plays audio-only when viewing "HQ" videos. I suspect this is due to a missing video codec and/or related to the above GL issues. We need work done on various codecs.
There's plenty of work to be done in kernel space. The 2.6.35 kernel posted by s0be is significant progress, but there is still plenty of room for improvement. Personally I would like to see more optimizations done on the kernel side because these will benefit all ROM images.
There are also various bugs in CyanogenMod that shouldn't be too difficult to fix, such as notification power widgets disappearing when changing themes. Check their issue tracker on Google Code to find some easy things to fix.
It would be awesome to see a fully-working 2.3.4 ROM image that was 100% AOSP and had completely working drivers. It would certainly make future development much easier and provide a nice base to build other ROM images from.
...oh, wait, that's right. You just want to "port" "tweaks"/themes/nonsense. Try fixing what we have right now before you give us more half-working junk.

I'm sure it was, as the account was disabled hours after making the post.
this dude needs to discover some vagina to take his mind off his hero. Anyone that ran his tweaks has to be insane.
lmfao how did I miss this thread before xD
You think he'd get the hint after he's been banned X # of times along with getting flamed every time he comes back...smh

So My girlfriend has Garminfone and there is no info on the internet at all on how to overclock or a custom kernel or anything really so i Have rooted it but would like to do more so i have done a lil research and will like to build Custom Recovery for the phone but before i start i thought i would post a thread here with all my Optimus one family that i trust and love to get some tips and hopefully even some instructions as the instructions online are hard to fallow ??? so anything ???
Can give a clear answer about that, because its different for most phones.
Some phones like our Optimus One have a recoverypartition, a phone like Samsung Galaxy 3 has not. It took some work to port CWM to that phone and mumbozver (an XDA-user on de Galaxy 3-thread) managed to port it to that phone).
Guess it's best to post a question in the main android-section for this
make "cat /proc/mtd" in "adb shell".
If there are error - porting will be hard

Oh... Nuviphone A50. I got this junk for free with their navigation. Well, frankly - you are better off throwing that brick away. One of the worst Android phones ever.

Well, if the guys on the thread I have linked are not even willing to team up to finally produce something after basically having wasted about a year on this without getting it even bootable... good luck with this.
I would personally suggest bricking the phone intentionally and claiming warranty. Pretty sure this junk has been EOLed so you might get a decent phone as replacement. (Though, you might be unfortunate enough to get a brand new replacement brick since the Garmin's stock must be full of these collecting dust. )

I for one would be very happy I dont have the smarts to even attempt this. But yes the garminfone is very very slow boring.. It would be just wonderful to have a recovery even better a rom mayb some point to bring this phone at least upto an ehhh ok phone status := Im willing to test/help what ever it is . Im not the best in the develoment area but I do have a garminfone and enough sense to try and give a hand.
