Re: [TESTING] XDAndroid GBX0B 2.3.7 Build

I installed GBX0B yesterday, and was using FRX07.1 previously. I have read through most of this thread, but didn't find an answer to these issues:

1) EyeB mentions starting with 90Mb free, but I can't get higher than ~43Mb free. changing minfree values doesn't increase free memory, but seems to slow the system down while endlessly looking for processes to kill. Can anyone tell me how I can troubleshoot this? I had a similar problem with FRX07.1, but noticed the low free memory was only a problem when using an XDAndroid autobuild rootfs.img from 9/30/11, or later, when there was a "fixup /dev/block/ramzswap0 creation" change made.

2) arrrghhh mentioned that the volume could be increased by modifying the .csv files. My audio is quiet, but not more than it was with FRX07.1. Can someone tell me what data in what .csv file needs to be edited to increase volume?

3) The Froyo FRX07.1 soft keyboard had a microphone button for voice-to-text, which is missing in GBX0B. Is there any way to get that back?

By the way, I know arrrghhh won't appreciate this, but if anyone else wants more phone storage space, you can change line 97 of rootfs.img\init from:
dd if=/dev/zero of=$card/$dataimg bs=1048576 count=256
to
dd if=/dev/zero of=$card/$dataimg bs=1048576 count=512
before building data.img. This will double the phone stroage space from 256M to 512M. If using Windows, you will need EXT2IFS & FileDisk. This is the only change I've made to the rootfs.img file, so I don't think it would affect the free memory issue I'm having.
