SWEET please let us know what you think I'm ready to cook

Last thing I noticed is unless I installed FInixNOver 1%, I would get a battery.xml on customizations and it would hang. If I use FInixNOver 1% oem I have no problems at all.

Cheers,

Mikee

Could you please provide it thanks

Chasing a GPS problem with 21018. Might be a change to the intermediate driver, might be the XIP, might be neither...

GPS problem solved - was not an XIP problem. Things looking good so-far with XIP 21018 + SYS 21015. Will report more later.

Off-topic (GPS problem and solution):
Turns out the QuickDPS driver (gps_aux.dll) will hang if a fix is attempted before ephemeris data (xtra.bin) has been downloaded. If you have QuickGPS installed, don't hard reset your phone then try GPS without first letting it download successfully. Yep - this was a pain in the cheeks to find...

Ok, I reflashed last night using 21015 SYS with 21018 XIP by Former and cooked it with SSK Kitchen C2. I had to set PP to 9.5 megs rather than 6-8 (which is what I normally use). It was locking up on me at < 9 Megs... but since I've changed the PP to 9.5 Meg the ROM has been solid. I did lose the 1 Meg worth of free RAM but I'm going to tone down the file system cache down to 1MB from 2MB to gain the lost memory.

So far i had no issues, stable, I've got a lot of stuff running, and they all seem to play nicely.

I also installed TouchResponse for heptic feed back on screen touch, and it's working very nicely.. Also seem to have pretty good battery life... I'm down 10% since 7, and I've been Bluetooth Tethering...

I know the GPS works because i've done this combo before... but I'll try again during lunch... Keep ya'll posted.

I'm running 10MB and it seems good. BTW - don't bother messing with the filesystem cache sizes. Changes there only affect the SD Card - the cache sizes for the on-board flash are set in the XIP and can only be changed there. In other words, if you have cache size tweaks you are applying, don't apply them. You will likely have more memory, and it will be better used. Here's what I use for the SD card cache and it works just fine:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ SDMemory\FATFS]
"DataCacheSize"=dword:00000000
"EnableFatCacheWarm"=dword:00000001
"EnableWriteBack"=dword:00000001
"FatCacheSize"=dword:00000000

Note - Data/FatCacheSize=0 means system-managed, not disabled. That means WinCE looks at the FAT size and Meta Data directory size and determines how much to cache (which is usually the entire thing) based on how much stuff you have on your SD card. If you set an actual number here without knowing what you are doing, you will end up just allocating memory for a cache that is never used.

Excellent! I've applied the changes, and am trying it out! thanks!!

Got ahold of 21018 SYS compliments of Drellisdee. 21018 XIP (with 12MB PP) + 21018 SYS is unbelievably fast. By far the fastest combination I've tried yet.

BTW - when talking about speed / comparing ROMs, it's useful to list the pagepool size, phone (Sprint vs. Verizon), and # of files + modules in your IMGFS (just let Windows Explorer count the items in your dump directory while cooking). I have 3021 files + modules.

I'm calling 21018 XIP ready for prime time. And I'll say it again - I'm done flashing for a while. Again. Really. I mean it this time.
