Is this hack of any relevance to us? - G1 Android Development

Not sure, but i do remember Cyanogen proving Quadrant gives bugged results if you mess with partitions.

Yeah, i remember that as well. Probably a similar case here rather than a real boost.

may not be completely relevant, but I've eventually got a successful run of it on the G1

scores don't really matter. And it doesn't seem any bit faster, but then again I can't really tell since I haven't gotten it stable enough to test normal apps. The UI feels more smoother-ish, not quicker just less jumpy. *note i said "-ish", because there are no apps installed so obviously it's not gonna lag.
so far for me I have only gotten it to work on the first boot, and for some reason only when I don't flash gapps (and fyi, I'm using CM 6.1).

Still, that's amazing.

Here's a link to what I posted in the N1 forums containing the update.zip with some fixes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9937499&postcount=105
This is not my work, its just some fixes on others works.

Have you tried any heavy duty real world applications? Like Angry Birds or Gallery? Kwaak3 would be another application that relies heavily on loading. Maybe a web browser.
Those are the only apps that I can think of that would benefit from faster loading.

Thanks, that's looks really useful. Just wish I could download it.

Nothing Special About WM6.1

http://translate.google.com/transla...005&#entry129005&langpair=pt|en&hl=en&ie=UTF8
Nothing. Great.
I wouldn't expect any major improvements from a .1 release anyway. It's alot of welcome changes though, and any speed increase is definitely an upgrade.
In short the news:
1. SMS Chat View Mode
2. Speed
3. Getting Started
4. PIE Zoom Out
5. Managed Programs
6. Task Manager
7. Office One Note

To me this could be the great strength of the new Windows Mobile 6.1, this case is being tested in a HTC X7500 Advantage a machine by nature very quickly, that with this new version was even more, imagine, before the terminal took about 50 seconds to restart at the moment with the WM6.1 takes only 30 seconds, in the navigation menus is irreproachable.

Hmmm, nothing great? #1 - Threaded SMS. Easier to read SMS's, no big deal. #2 - Speed. Yep, faster device. Nothing great about that. #4 PIE Zoom Out. Yep, nothing there either. #6 - Better task manager. Can't possibly be anything worthwhile there.
In the end, is this a huge revision to v6? Not really, that's why it's a .1 release, like everyone else is saying. But perhaps we're getting closer to what v6 should have been from the get go. Look for major improvements with v7, whenever that is.
It runs damn fine on my Touch and the memory leak is gone. Good stuff! I don't really get the getting started though, what's that supposed to be for?
imo mem leak problem removal is VERY important, if it is really fixed.
i do not need ANY new apps, nor touch ****.

Someone in another thread said it wasn't fixed but that hasn't been confirmed. Several people noticed a huge improvement, myself included.
Been using it all weekend on my HTC Wing. I love it. Would not go back to WM6. Its definately better.
wm imho always had a pretty slow evolution rather then any revolution steps

It was opera "mini"
To be honest, I find it a bit lame and slow. The only plus side for most users will be that it does have pinch to zoom. But aside that it might be pretty it really is not a step up from stock. Try the muiu browser it is a bit faster but more intuitive.
Loving it
I find this version is a bit slow on loading, but when the page is fully loaded there is no equal for panning around and reflowing text. However, this is the first beta and functionality can only increase from here! I'm just glad to have my Opera Link back! The functionality is better than stock imo, but the Desire Browser is still the best experience I've had on the Nexus. Although I'm trying out Cyanogen 6.1-RC1 and will be using Opera from now on
I've tried to install it but if failed (because of low memory) and now 5MB disappeared... and even after 5 reboots and deliting few caches i still can't return them
I really like it!
It fast, and beautiful.

The miui browser can't block ads. I can add a urlfilter.ini file to Opera Mobile the same way I can with Opera on my desktop and ads are blocked.
Working on getting it to use a custom style to reflow the page so that blocked ad space is used and not just a bunch of empty negative space. That part isn't working so well
gggggooooooooooddddddd

[BOOTANIMATION] Android Emulator Style

Hello everyone,
A few weeks ago, after using the Android Emulator for the first time I wondered how the built-in boot animation would look on the phone itself. Quick search showed no-one had bothered.
I didn't keep it as my "daily driver" but since I went to the trouble of capturing the animation and editing it into something usable, I thought some people here might like it nonetheless.
Enjoy,
Darkshado

this likes good
Actually, this animation came with my G1 back in the day in one of the stock ROMs. I wanna say 1.6 is when they started using this animation. I prefer the old 1.5 version tho
With all the flashy, complex ones people throw around, it's kinda nice to have a simple straightforward one for a change.
Not trying to be the bad guy but; most android devices actually "fall-back" to this if you delete or rename /system/media/bootanimation.zip (verified on thunderbolt and xoom) The only thing missing the the initial "ANDROID" at the top. Deleting it actually can speed up your boot times and makes your system take up less space because there are no added files.
Nice..just what I was looking for
Actually, its already built into This App (there's a free version with it as well). But this seems like a much cleaner way of doing it.
Its a good idea. My Acer a500 came with iit out of the box. Imagine that. A public product running honeycomb 3.0 with the stock android boot animation!

Just like all those reviews about sony erricsson devices.
Seriously? What's up with that? How much did they pay?

Is the system ROM supposed to be almost filled to capacity like that??
I'm rooted, stock running ADW Launcher Pro, flashed CWM community kernel, (voodoo lagfix), all AT&T Bloatware frozen, and phone is running good, Quadrant (for what its worth) is averaging the normal 1700, but battery life is not so good.... Can get all day use if i'm at work, but if i'm playing with it constantly battery life no more than 4 hrs or so....If thats avg then thats ok, but i think i was getting a lot better BEFORE i "voodoo'ed" : )
Don't want to flash any ROM if i can help it - so many different builds/versions/tar/pit/ i'd rather just leave it the way it is UNLESS anyone can point me towards a STOCK ROM that requires little or no "thinking"...lol
I have 3x extra batteries so i guess its not a HUGE deal, but i like to conserve wasted energy when i can... Also does Juice Defender really HELP? All those settings completely befuddle me, i prolly wind up using MORE cuz i'm like "nooooo, i need that, and that and that and that, don't limit that, omg i can't live without THAT!!!".... lol
thanx y'all,
Ms D
I have a little more left than you. Dont know if its normal though.
I'm not a developer but I try to play one on XDA. Seriously I'm not a developer. DlevROM Yo!
I have a little more than BigFau but not much, "27.5". Besides, this is just the space that the Rom is occupying it doesnt affect the internal sd or external sd from my understanding.
It's normal.....especially if you are mostly stock which you are.....and while you may have bloatware frozen, it is still installed.......ans yes voodoo being enabled takes IP a little more .....that is merely the storage capacity for ROMs or your phone operating system....
A stripped down aosp ROM like mine as you can see will have more space left ....

Bad performance

Hello all!
Well, I know that our XT925/XT926 is outdated, BUT about 3 years ago, every rom on my XT925 ran perfectly fine.
Now, I just can't use my smartphone, freezes 80% on usage, take ages to navigate via Chrome, take photos, back to home screen. I can't execute 2 apps at same time, or I listen my music, or I open Messenger/Whatsapp/Telegram..
Recently I've been installed many roms (Dirty Unicorns, CM11/12/13, Omni, SlimKat), and the performance problem persists
Occours too if I flash stock with RSD(4.1.2) and let him via OTA upgrade to 4.4.2.
Is anybody with same bad performance?
Thank You!

(sorry for may bad english)
Although you're using the same ROMs you used 3 years ago, you're using different, newer versions of almost every app.
These newer versions all have many more features then the old versions, and the creators expect users to have newer phones with much more memory and much faster processors, thus these newer apps will place greater load on the RAM and CPU.
This is why your phone has worse performance than before.
You can try solving this by finding an APK archive site and installing much older versions of your apps, then going to the Play Store and disabling "Auto-update" for those apps, but you will lose all the newer features of those apps, too.
