[Release] Motafoca 2.0.9

[motafoca]

Ok, some feedback:

Performance is excellent, but there are some problems.

1. Angry Birds refuses to install. I'm not sure what's causing the problem, but no other apps from the market give problems (even Angry Birds Seasons works). What happens is that the "downloading" icon pops up on the notification bar for 1 second, and disappears before the download even starts.

2. Memory consumption is much higher. On first boot, before any customization, only 111mb of internal memory is free (previous releases have 158mb free on first boot).

3. I'm not sure if this is a mistake. /data/dalvik-cache is not mounted on the sdcard - this is deliberate, which you changed to help some people's problems with extreme lagging. However, /data/data is also not mounted on the sdcard. Is this deliberate? After installing just a handful of apps, my internal memory is down to 80mb Register or Login<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

Some follow-up to point 2 and 3:

I modified the 02-app2sd script to mount /data/data (but not /data/dalvik-cache) on the sdcard. After a hard reset, the extreme lagging has returned. I'm going to try modifying the script to mount /data/dalvik-cache to the sdcard, but not /data/data, and see if that helps. Currently my internal memory is getting too pressured with the default config, so I need to try something! Register or Login<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

Many thanks for this awesome release.

1- Checking
2- Yes it will be higher because you have dalvik-cache on internal memory to avoid lag
3- Not mistake

Low classed mem cards lag with dalvik-cache on sdcard

Did you get Angry Birds working? Register or Login<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' /> It still refuses to install here, but everything else seems fine.

I've just reflashed, hard reset and reconfigured the script to mount the /data/dalvik-cache to sd. There's absolutely no lag at all, and I now have 151mb of internal storage available on first boot.

To confirm it's setup and working correctly:

I haven't installed anything yet, and it's cached 44mb of files for the JIT already. I think it would be an advantage for the next version of the mod to put the dalvik-cache on sd, what do you think? I'll keep testing to make sure it doesn't lag... Register or Login<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />

I also suspect that we could improve the situation with the /data/data folder. Considering the extreme lag I'm seeing, I suspect that  a system app/service is constantly reading/writing data, causing slowdown for everything else. If we were able to find the app causing problems and symlink its data folder to internal memory, it may resolve the problem. Is there a good way for me to monitor filesystem activity using built-in tools?

As far as I'm aware, correct me if I'm wrong, but language support depends on which language is already in the files from Samfirmware. :-)

Right? :-)

I really want to try this release, but internal space and memory are precious to me. I hope you can move dalvik-cache to SD.

subpsyke, when I first installed stock Europe Froyo I had the same problem trying to install Angry Birds from the Market even after a factory reset. I restore it from Titanium Backup now.

I've moved the dalvik-cache to SD, and I can say it works perfectly - see my previous post. My card lags extremely badly when /data/data is on the card, so it should work well for you too.

I also tried the Europe Froyo (JP9) and was able to install Angry Birds from the market. Maybe we should investigate that in case there's a "hidden" problem with our filesystems...

well, do not know about that, but in slovenia we have on the phones slovenian language, so i thought it's that easy. anyway thanks for the answer.

With what firmware? :-)
