Thanks for verifying that for me, that seals the deal!:headbang:

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

can/does it need to, the msxipkernel be spinlocked for VK??

@joojoo, i put the sys attributes fixer uper in sys root, n drug the 21844 folder into it. upon this, i got a whole bunk of could not finds.... still work, just goofy, or defiantly puking n me doin somthing incorrect? also, starting to get a handle on the xip thing. correct me if i'm wrong, but getting the 21844 msxipkernel from the gene forum is not a problem at all right? if i used a gene oemxipkernel, i'd brick right?

and i just saw 21847's common n xip over at the gene forum too, neone know what's goin on with that??

JooJoo, does this mean that the 23037 files will use the new xip now?

Thanks

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

Is anyone having major performance issues with the 23xxx series of 6.5. Any build i cook into my rom has a huge lag, as in with 6.1, i click a button, and boom it does its thing. In 6.5, I click, and its 10-30 seconds to do its thing. Any ideas. I have recmodded to keep slot 0 empty, as I have no 6.5 nk.exe. Im stuck....

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

23xxx builds are actually faster than any other 6.5 for me. There could be so many things causing the lag, its hard to say since i dont know what kitchen your using what oems, etc.
Best way is to cook a bare rom, with no added apps, then start adding things back in and see if you can narrow down the cause of the lag.
Also are you recmoding Netcf browsing browsingcore adobeflash and the other required ones? Also optimizing your xip will help a lot.
have any other 6.5 sys ran fine for you?

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

Well i wont say its that slow for me, even on my 201 Mhz Omap 850 based Gene. But yes, the 23xxx branch is a bit heavy on memory and slow in performance if compared to 218xx, the COM2 branch. Right now, the builds 21840 and 21844 have snappier performance and it seems that since feature list is complete for this branch with no additions or removal of features taking place, the builds are being optimized now for performance. Its getting better with each build. So if you want the highest performance possible with WM 6.5, try COM2 branch builds. These dont have the new UI features that have now appeared in COM3, but you'll get your speed, i hope. :)

That's normal as far as the errors on the batch file. It's set to look for certain file names, some can probably be removed (like the manilla lines, since Touch Flo won't be in the SYS). Safely ignore :)

As far as the MSXIPKernel, it doesn't matter WHERE/WHAT device you grab it from, but using the OEMXIPKernel will more than likely not brick your device, but just won't work. Better to just not try it though ;)

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

No, nothing changes on the XIP's, it's just that I can now get them created without a donor xip.bin. I can make them with nothing but the MSXIPKernel files.

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

i was wondering what you meant by optimizing the XIP. how do you do that?

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

A few things you can do that I am aware of (I know the question wasn't directed at me;). One is to remove unnecessary modules to make it smaller. The next thing you can do is pack the XIP by tightening all the free space and relocating nk.exe and messing with the romhdr.bin. There are some other things I have seen people doing such as compressing the XIP but I haven't looked a whole lot into that.
