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

[death2all110]

Question to Death or anyone else who knows better....when I installed this rom, worked great, then gave me issues with the nav and maps. I DID NOT wipe ext on the sd card after I formatted the card...could this have caused an issue?

Yes because these apps are probably trying to run off the SDcard and what class is your card?

 

[death2all110]

If anyone is interested, I've done a test. I found a script that RE-odexes a rom, and ran it on one of my roms. Main results:
- can't apply themes
- seems snappier (probably due to the next point)
- dalvik-cache is completely empty (lots of saved space, about 40MB I believe)

Why the last one? Because if you have a .odex file, you don't need to store the app's cache in dalvik-cache, the .odex file plays the role of that cache.

I, for one, am going to be re-odexing all my roms.

The main reason for de-odexing a rom is so it can be themed. and makes it alot easier to add/remove apps. because it places the appropriate odex file into the apk or jar file as a dex file

death....
i have been getting some force closes...launcher, gmail, and home... anyideas?

 

[death2all110]

Did you wipe data cache and dalvik cache? and are you using apps2sd or Overclocking?

 

[seen03]

Does this ROM support, "EXT4" parti.? I'm. Guessing yes...but, like to know for a fact.

Thanks!

 

[DoctorZaius68]

Yes...I have my partition set to Ext. 4 and the Rom works fine.

 

[death2all110]

Thanks DoctorZaius68 P.S. work on .2 is set to begin shortly

How the "EFF" are you planning to top V.1???!!11?1!

LOL! keep up the great work...and looking forward (very anxious) to, ".2".

This is awesome news Death. After some little mess ups on my part I've been running this ROM and it is by far my favorite. I don't even have the apps2sd setup yet, but it's soooo fast. I also noticed I'm no longer having to reboot my phone to get my memory freed. Even using taskkiller I still had to reboot. This ROM has gone all day and still shows 85 meg free.

So I decided to give Punisher another go, after so many positive comments in this thread, I figured there must be something to it, and I didn't give it enough chance (with the problems I had with it).

Happy to report that it's performing rather well, and I love it, this go around! Even fixed an issue or two I was having, and I love the theme, although I wish I could get the GB theme on it..but that's just icing on the cake. Thanks for a great ROM, death!

 

[death2all110]

use the ZVC theme
or velocity 0.4
i "hired" a guy for theming this time. we shall see if he comes through with it

if not ill talk to grzla about using this in my rom

 

[socobandit]

im using the stock class 4 card, and had the ext set to ext4...thinking i should find a way to move just maps and nav back to the phone

 

[netizenmt]

A Punisher v0.2??? Really??? How can you possibly improve on v0.1???

 

[socobandit]

Death...think i should leave the dalvik cache on the internal memory until i get a class 6 card? thinking that having dalvik cache on the slower card might be causing the lag i was having

How do you move the dalvik cache to the SD card? I just bought a class 6, was wondering if it would be worth while.

Also what's the advantage of using ext4 over ext2, and would it mess things up if I converted ext2-->ext3--->ext4 AFTER the ROM has been installed and apps2sd were up and running (I'm guessing I would have to start from scratch).

[DoctorZaius68]

Go to terminal emulator and type

$ SU
# a2sd

you will get all of the Darktremor script comands

not sure what will happen if you change ext2 to ext3 to ext4, but im pretty sure in terminal its:
su
cachesd

that should move dalvik cache to the card. where'd you get the card? i can't find any local store that has one, only online and im impatient

 

[Valkerie]

Or else you can move the Dalvik cache to the /cache partition on the phone. That frees up a lot of internal space too.

Got the card off of amazon, for $10. Free 2 day shipping, so wasn't that bad of a wait.

I have a class 6 card and moved dalvic cache to it and noticed major performance problems and moved it back.

 

[Robo1007]

Death thanks for your hard work I love the rom, its super fast, everything is great I can OC to 768 and I was running lower before on V3 great job can't wait for v.02!!

 

[ThePDW]

So, I've never really had problems with market before, but a few days after installing it will not download or update apps. It says it's starting, but then it doesn't... I've tried clearing the cache in the application settings and doing a battery pull, but that doesn't help. Any ideas?

 

[Robo1007]

ThePDW did you wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache?

 

[death2all110]

Reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and try again

 

[ThePDW]

I assume you mean before I installed punisher. Yep, definitely.
