[ROM] Punisher 0.1 | BIG RELEASE | LG ALLY | VZC | SUPER FAST | STABLE | ANDROID 2.1 | THEMED

[DoctorZaius68]

Death2all110 - Congrats on the release of your Rom and thanks for letting me test!

This is one fast rom!

Dude... all I can say is.. AMAZING.

Switched from Velocity .03 where I was getting 376 on Quadrant and now I'm getting 486, all while at 600 mhz.

 

[Afteraffekt]

First I have to say is superb job! Fast, and responsive at stock 600Mhz, and alot of internal memory open to have so many apps in the stock installl.


My only problem is It crashes to the custom LG | Ally boot screen randomly and quite often, and its just starting to bug me, but bugging me it is. I'll reinstall later to see if it resolves, but it feels more like a ROM problem than a bad flash. Any idea to the culprit?

Also - you offer the Baseband Update in your release post, however when looking at the about phone before ever installing it, it says it already has the new radio.img!

If it's a ROM problem, it must not be something that happens on every phone because I have been using this version of the ROM since Sunday without any stability issues what-so-ever. I know that we had a problem with kernel panics and random shutoffs on initial startup after flashing the ROM during one of the early beta versions, but I have flashed this current release version at least 10 times to test it and never once had the KP\shut off problem.

Very odd because the ROM seems so stable to me and I have really tried to push it during testing.

It boots back up within like 3 seconds, doesnt't make much sense. It hasn't happened since I flashed the phone though.

I have noticed a severe lag from my typing on the keyboard to it appearing on the screen.
Otherwise I love this rom, its highly polished and responsive!

Are you overclocking?

 

[swc2001]

Well.... Personally This Rom offends me.
You know why?
Because I wasnt asked to beta this Bad Boy.

Hey Brother Your holdin out on me. Your Next one Better include ole swc2001 for beta. LOL

nah I Kiiiiiddd
Man this is Awesome!! Congrats Bro!! You Deserve Mad Props for this.

Trident The guantlet has been squarely thown at your feet man.

LETS GET IT ON!!!

 

[Afteraffekt]

Are you overclocking?

No overclock at all. Completely stock Punisher...

 

[swc2001]

No overclock at all. Completely stock Punisher...

Ah yes but you do have this in Stock Punisher
"Overclock kernel 2.6.29.6 and JIT by drellisdee"
Which does not mean your overclocked it just means your over clock ready.
But the Jit does speed you up, even without OC.
all you need is some SetCPU and youve just turned the corner into the Darkside Baby.

Sooo Come on Over to the Dark side.... We have Cookies.

And you remembered to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache?

If not, boot into recovery, wipe both caches and reboot.

 

[draky]

This seems very fast and stable. I love it!

 

[Robo1007]

Props to Death I have been on V3 and I am going to take the time tonight and flash this and see how it rolls hoping for good things!!

 

[swc2001]

Oh No!!

You left out one of my Favorite apps from Velocity .3

Flash Light. Its the only decent flash light I have ever used.

need the apk Bro. LOL

it wont load with TI backup

 

[Afteraffekt]

And you remembered to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache?

If not, boot into recovery, wipe both caches and reboot.

Yea I wipe dalvik, data and cache every time. I haven't seen a boot screen crash since after the 5th one last night - I think that was the kernel getting used to my particular CPU.

I installed Punisher, Boot, crash, boot, had to play to get data to work - was disabled on default like an app had disabled it by default. Had to connect to WI-FI, download SwitchPro, and enable data that way before I could get 3G. Then it crashed again (back to Android boot animation). Went back and forth a few times. Then installed Gingerbread for ZVC because theres a few graphical anomalies in the theme for Punisher, and I am a perfectionist and couldn't bare them, but you guys will probably never notice any of them - lol. Had one more crash and thats it so far.

I have NOT installed the baseband because the ROM reports that it already has it, and my signal is amazing here (4-5 bars), and usually my signal is 1-2 bars here. So I am a happy camper.

However the input lag is still unbearable on anything other than text messages - where it is fine.

I'm not over-clocked at this time, and I honestly don't see a need to with this ROM, the Jit is doing a pretty good job on its own.

I am an Engineering Electronics College Graduate, so I'm not new to any of this - and I was tickled when android came out - Computer, PSP, and now my Android can be hacked - like a homebrew dream if you ask me!

 

[death2all110]

Afteraffekt, im sorry about the keyboard an boot issues. i haven't had this problem. Biggest problem i had was FC cuz of framework-res but i rebuilt that and its fine now. and KP on first boot but those are gone now. never noticed a keyboard lag. or any lag except on boot where everything is set to be optimized but even that takes less than 15-30 seconds. I know there are a few graphic issues. Those will be fixed in the next release. Flashlight app will also be included. But i'm taking a break for a few days. As for the radio, it was originally included in the rom. But i pulled it just in case someone needed to reflash and the radio should only be flashed once.

Hey swc...if you download and extract the velocity rom from trident, go into data/app, and the flashlight apk is in there

 

[dvanlinton]

yea i had the same random ally boot screen.. i thought it was stuck for awhile.. so i just waited to see if it bypasses. after awhile it finally booted.. the question i have is my sw version is still v8.. take a look...

 

[innate024]

Socobandit already beat me to it, lol.

 

[swc2001]

Socobandit already beat me to it, lol.

Thanks to both of you.
I should have thought of that.

I will go away feeling stupid now.

**edit**
Hmmm so this got me thinking... If I modify the punisher zip and put the flash light.apk in that directory.... will That make the modified version load the flash light app automatically when flashed? Or is it alot more complicated than that?

Death??**

 

[socobandit]

Now I'm curious about the SW version being reported as zv8 instead of zvc....reporting issue?

 

[k.c.cole]

gonna try this when i get home!

 

[swc2001]

Now I'm curious about the SW version being reported as zv8 instead of zvc....reporting issue?

Thats because you didnt take the OTA

It only reports correctly if you take the OTA.

Mine is reporting ZVC.

Really its nothing to worry about.

Your good man.

**EDIT** If it really bothers you
Make a Nandroid of punisher where you are at.
Then Go to my Thread:
http://androidforums.com/ally-all-t...nteer-who-wants-go-back-completely-stock.html
and make your phone stock.
Take the OTA updates. Then your phone will report ZVC
After all that then Wipe everything in AmonRa dalvik, cache Data factory reset, Wipe ext
Now reload the Nandroid from punisher and Voila
you have Punisher with a corectly reporting ZVC.

But honestly... it wont make a hill of beans difference. It just might make you feel better about life is all.**

 

[barf]

thanks for this! love the theme, love the speed!

 

[shane_is_the_man]

Got it all installed..only problem I see is when you try to set up an email the manual setup is greyed out.


as we used to say in the military.....delay my last

 

[death2all110]

as we used to say in the military.....delay my last

Are you sure??? I could be wrong but when i was in the military it was "belay my last"

SWC2001: you would place it in /data/app but you would also have to re-sign it. or you could turn verification off in recovery
