First, I want to thank makkonen for all the hard work on the RAPH800. I have both a Touch and a Touch Pro, and have been following countless threads here at PPCgeeks, as well as at XDA and CUTB. I'm also following the RAPH800 on the Wave. I realize each seemingly little problem, is really hard and time consuming to solve. Especially for the Diamond and Raphael, as there are so MANY different versions of our phones. Then there's the CDMA vs GSM versions. All work differently, even the hardware keyboards.
Here's what I'm experiencing. The good thing is, I have 3G data. SMS works just fine. (I actually like Handcent better than the included Messenging app.) I applied karafa's change to my eclair.user.conf file and the touch screen works PERFECTLY now! Thanks for fixing it, karafa.
The bad: the Market mostly causes my phone to crash. Sometimes it's just browsing the Market, but almost always when I try to download apps, my phone spontaneously reboots. Then, because Android remembers your downloads, when I get it booted back into Android, it often crashes before I can cancel the download.
The ugly. I DO use the hack of starting a call in WM before hitting haret. The first call I make usually works. I can hear and sometimes the person I'm calling can hear me. Sometimes they hear only static, though. After that first call, I don't even hear anything, and they get static when they answer. If someone calls me, I have no ringer, though the volume is turned up. I believe this is a known bug, though? I see the call on my screen. When I go to answer, I get nothing. The person calling me gets static.
One thing I did was to remove Twidroid from my phone. It's a known problem that it uses a lot of resources by trying to connect frequently. In order to remove this or any other app you don't want that came with this build, you need to uninstall it. Then remove it from the app folder. Then delete your data.img, and build a new one. You might get away with deleting all or part of your cache, though. I didn't try that. If you don't do this, it's still in the data and WILL come back. Next time, I'll just delete it and any other apps I don't want from the Apps folder before I run Android for the first time.
I'm also getting a lot of fsck files generated, presumably at boot up. These, as I understand, are file system checks, supposedly because there's some problem with file corruption?
I have no real reason to prove this, but I'm thinking the Market problems are caused by memory issues, as in running out of memory. This could also account for other lockups and random reboots. Perhaps leaning out the number of apps that come with this build might help. We can, theoretically, download what we need from the Market. Something else that might help is something that is working on the Touch. On the Touch you can partition your SD card. You make the first partition fat32, and the other 2 partitions ext2. It seems to run faster that way, and I'd bet it also helps with memory issues. Of course you need access to LINUX to do this. Either a LINUX install (I dual boot my laptop) or running from a live LINUX CD/DVD. I think this is handled in the .conf file as well as the rootfs, though, so both would need to be set up to take advantage of this. A swap partition might help, too, though it might shorten the life of your SD card. (I just by the ones with a "lifetime" warranty.)
Sorry if this is so long winded. I hope it helps.
