Root [rom] pac-man

Have you compared your dmesg from each to see if you're getting errors finding/initializing hardware on each?
Nope, just the last kmsg. I'll check the dmsg, tho.

Hey have you guys noticed he new Play store look? It comes up when I use AOKP, but not when I use Pacman. I wonder if it's because of the density I have set in Pacman? Shouldn't be, since I set the app to be 320.

elemental X had a different style play store as well. I personally didn't like it because everything was big and therefore didn't allow as many apps to be viewed on screen.

@TDM, Is there someplace that we can download sources from? Not that I'm a dev. I like to have archives of sources for some reason though (and to be able to pump out builds)

I just happen to be the newly crowned build master for pacman. Nightly builds for all devices will start in the next couple days complete with full manifests and change logs.

I'd like to see if this helps my phone. If it does, I'll figure out what it does and add that to the builds.

What exactly did you do?

I finally found where it's applying some of the tweaks that are in build.prop I was having a hard time finding anything there for battery savings... Turns out it was in an init.d script. It just wasnt showing up for me for quite a while, finally manifested.

### Pimp my Rom : Battery Savings
echo 500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
echo 1000 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs

Not entirely sure what those do, or what the defaults are... Or why that would actually lead to battery savings.

I sent you a PM about some of the other tweaks and such.

Cold not able to find battery savings setting on Pimp my rom.

Can anyone tell me where I can find them?
:eek:

Does anyone else's phone run hot when running this ROM?

I flashed it two days ago. I'm running it with Trigger's kernel throttled back to ~1300 and it still gets noticeably warm in my hand.

It is a bit laggy, but I can live with it. Battery life is pretty decent, though, (compared to CM10.1) which defies the laws of thermodynamics. Maybe the lagginess is due to internal friction, which could be why it's so hot. Perhaps we need a special "Synthetic Oil" option in the V6 Supercharger script. :D

Seriously though, I'm getting significantly better battery life on this ROM. It's definitely going to be my new daily driver.

PS: That's only with running V6 Supercharger. No additional PMR mods.

If the phone runs hot but you get good battery life check that mpdecision and thermald are running. I've seen them fail to start occasionally. If they fail to start I think I have a fix.

They're not in the "ps" list.

If it makes you feel any better, they're not in my CM10.1 nightly from 4/29's ps list either. There's also 0 references to either in my logcat. I would expect to at least see some sort of 'failed to start'

Either way, I know this is for PAC... but figured it may help to know that the same thing's happening on CM

All three ROMs use the same init. And they probably all have the same issue. init.qcom.post_boot.sh is hung off of boot animation stopped, but sometimes it stays in stopping and doesn't get to stopped. I'll bet that's what you see if you run getprop.

The fix is easy: just use dev.bootcomplete instead.

So I reflashed my basebands to remove an error I was getting with kickstart attaching a terminal to the a couple modem files. Seems to be cleared up from this one boot so far.

I'm still getting a warning though in my /dev/log/main

W/InterfaceController( 214): Warning (Cannot load library: load_library(linker.cpp:771): library "/system/lib/libnetcmdiface.so" not found) while opening the net interface command library

I am indeed missing the file /system/lib/libnetcmdiface.so

Should I have this file, if so... can I get it somewhere? Or is this just an obsolete file that is lingering in linker.cpp?

I'm on the build from May 3rd. Once I finish hacking together the enhanced init.d stuff (have some rambling in a seperate thread about that). I'll try the latest nightly to see if warning is still there.

*edit* just downloaded the latest nightly, the file doesnt reside in /system/lib on that one either.
