Just ran Neocore, 19.7 and flickering the entire time.

I'm going to try the 11/29 gles and see what happens.

yes. 11.29 3d and grolloc 11.29. works really good. i already test it with the 11.26 i got some flickering.

to be honest i use 11.26 if im playing games and a few other stuff. but 11.29 3d and gralloc 11.30 very stable. thanks

Re: Test with framebuffer

Yep, switched to the 11/29 gles and no more flickering. Also got my highest neocore score, 20.6 with no sound. This is about as fast as a stock Eros I think.

quite impressive if you ask me!

Hey Tiger, I want to know more about the swapfile you referenced, can you share? TIA

Yeah, I've got it by create a swapfile at /sdcard/swapfile by `dd` command on the my Linux box:

Code:

dd if=/dev/zero of=$HOME/swapfile bs=1M count=64

and then make Swap FS with that file

Code:

mkswap -f $HOME/swapfile

Then modified froyo.user.conf to look like this:

Code:

# custom shell commands, these commands run last

custom_shells{

  chmod 777 /etc/dbus.conf



  echo "Remove dirty files"

  rm /sdcard/FSCK*.REC

  rm /sdcard/fsck*.rec



  echo "Copy hosts to remove ad"

  cp -fv /sdcard/tools/etc/hosts /data/etc/hosts

  cp -fv /sdcard/tools/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts

  

  echo "Mounting external mods."

  mount --bind /sdcard/mods/libGLES_qcom.so.11.29.10 /system/lib/egl/libGLES_qcom.so

  mount --bind /sdcard/mods/gralloc.msm7k.so /system/lib/hw/gralloc.msm7k.so

  mount --bind /sdcard/mods/build.prop /system/build.prop

  

  echo "Mounting swapfile on /sdcard/swapfile"

  swapon /sdcard/swapfile

}

I was move all the test drivers to /sdcard/mods to get more clean look at root of my sdcard, also I have done with some tricks to remove some dirty files generated while fsck is run, mapped hosts file to remove ad from application...

Also, I was modified block "swap_file" to look like this:

Code:

#create swap file for compcache or linux swap

swap_file{

  swap_file_en=1  # set to 1 to create swap file

        # set to 0 to del the swap file

  linux_swap_file_size=64 # swap file size in MB

  linux_swap_file=/sdcard/swapfile  # pointing to the swap file location ( must be /system/sd/)

}

But seen its look not make any sense and kernel not go to use swap, just ignore it.

This is block I was modified to make kernel using more swap when more applications running to give more ram for focusing activity:

Code:

#virtual memory 

sys_vm{        

  sys_vm_en=1 # enable(1) or disable(0) virtual memory configurations

  swappiness=20 # default 60

  page_cluster=0  # default 3, (0 since CM3.9.6+)

  laptop_mode=5 # default 0

  dirty_expire_centisecs=3000 # default 3000

  dirty_writeback_centisecs=1500  # default 500

  dirty_background_ratio=3  # default 5

  dirty_ratio=5 # default 10

  vfs_cache_pressure=200  # default 100 (tendency of the kernel to reclaim cache memory)

  overcommit_memory=1 # default 0 (0=Heuristic 1=Always overcommit 2=Don't overcommit)

  overcommit_ratio=80 # default 50 (% of Physical+Virtual memory to allow allocation)

}

That is what's I've done. I have attach my froyo.user.conf and swapfile as you need to make it. (Good for M$'s user which not have dd tool already :P )

It works on rhod nand but i need to make sure haret works ok as well.

My phone was go back to bootanimation at the morning when I wake up and start the browser. bootanimation was play some cycle then stop loading, seen it freezing and now I can not start android again, infinitive loop at bootanimation screen, its playing for few minutes before stop :( I can access adb now, do some dump log to see what's happen. After that I'm going to try the older kernel and if failed then delete data.img :-)

EDITED: Confirmed, I can boot android up after switch back to 12.12.10 kernel and remove all /data/dalvik-cache/*
I'm still get freeze at the bootanimation screen even with 12.12.10 kernel. Going to test NAND and then fresh install of HaRET :(

Re: Test with framebuffer

Ok running 11-30 and 11-29 gral and lib and using new module and imagez

Sprint TP2
1st run -fps2d avg 29 stdev 6.31

2nd run -fps2d avg 28 stdev 7.92

3rd run phone froze for 2 mintutes forced closed restarted

4th run -fps2d avg 29 stdev 6.07

not sure whey the stdev value changed every time though

Neocore score was run 18.6 (without sound 20) 3rd run gave me 19.2
quadrant= 574, 2nd run 660

this is a brand new install with deleted data image after waiting 10 minutes after it booted and its overclocked to 787200

Working on mine without any problem.

Re: Test with framebuffer

Ok you guys can stop testing. I committed the updates but the gles lib and gralloc still are being examined. So for now keep modding your startup so you can use the ones that work for you. Also someone reported the stock xdandroid works fine so whats the point in even moving away from it?

not sure but i guess i'll leave it up to you guys to give me a good answer. Also for those of you sending money to the wrong place my donate button is on my sig.. someone told me they sent money to the wrong person so i want to make sure no one else makes the same mistake

}

A better method to make it work for everyone would be...

Code:

# custom shell commands, these commands run last

custom_shells{

  chmod 777 /etc/dbus.conf



# Setup vars --------------------

FSCK_CLEAN=`/bin/grep -o "fsck_cleanup=.*" /proc/cmdline | /bin/sed -e "s/.*fsck_cleanup=//g" -e "s/ .*//g"`

3D_TEST=`/bin/grep -o "3d_test=.*" /proc/cmdline | /bin/sed -e "s/.*3d_test=//g" -e "s/ .*//g"`

SWAP_ENABLE=`/bin/grep -o "swap_enable=.*" /proc/cmdline | /bin/sed -e "s/.*swap_enable=//g" -e "s/ .*//g"`

CARD_PATH=`/bin/grep -o "rel_path=.*" /proc/cmdline | /bin/sed -e "s/.*rel_path=//g" -e "s/ .*//g"`

if [ "$CARD_PATH" = "" ];then

        CARD_PATH="andboot"

fi;

if [ -d /sdcard/$CARD_PATH ] ; then

        card=/sdcard/$CARD_PATH

else

        card=/sdcard

fi

# -------------------------------



  if [ "$FSCK_CLEAN" == "1" ]; then

    echo "Remove dirty files"

    rm /sdcard/FSCK*.REC

    rm /sdcard/fsck*.rec

  fi



  if [ -f /sdcard/$card/extras/hosts ]; then

    echo "Copy hosts to remove ad"

    cp -fv $card/extras/hosts /data/etc/hosts

    cp -fv $card/extras/hosts /system/etc/hosts

  fi

  

  if [ "$3D_TEST" == "1" ] && [ -f $card/extras/3d/libGLES_qcom.so ] && [ -f $card/extras/3d/gralloc.msm7k.so ] && [ -f $card/extras/3d/build.prop ]; then

    echo "Mounting external mods."

    mount --bind $card/extras/3d/libGLES_qcom.so /system/lib/egl/libGLES_qcom.so

    mount --bind $card/extras/3d/gralloc.msm7k.so /system/lib/hw/gralloc.msm7k.so

    mount --bind $card/extras/3d/build.prop /system/build.prop

  fi



  if [ "$SWAP_ENABLE" == "1" ] && [ -f $card/swap ]; then

    echo "Mounting swapfile on $card/swap"

    swapon $card/swap

  fi

Then place your extra file in /sdcard/andboot/extras and extras/3d. Enable the options using "fsck_cleanup=1 3d_test=1 swap_enable=1" in your startup.txt and if the files exists the options will be enabled, if not then no worry it will just default to normal behavior. I hope this doesn't step on anyones toes and that adding these to the startup.txt isn't that bad of a thing.
