EDIT: By the way I'm still using version 0.9.7, any one care to update if 0.9.10 is any good? Any GPS problems?

Me using the latest version and the drive app doesn't launch at the first time i.e. just gets stuck on the loading screen then have to quit the app and restart it then it works normally !!! Can't tell u abt the battery though as prior to the installation of fastern9 i had wazapp issues which used to drain the battery, but i still manage to get 25-30 hours on a single full charge !!

I think you got it, probably it's related to FirewallPlus Pro. Maybe the corruption Arie had was related to FirewallPlus Pro + FasterN9 too.

I attached a fixed version to the first post. Please stress test it and report back, I want to release 0.9.11 as 1.0 stable. And I think I figured out how to use the deadline I/O scheduler without causing problems (big performance gain), but that will be considered an unstable version, after 1.0.

Sorry I'm (very) late. I tryed to follow that guide to recover from malf some times, and every time when I finished & successfully rebooted the phone wouldn't remember any account password anymore. Deleting accounts wouldn't help, so I ended up reflashing.

It was a lot faster, and since I keep habitual backups and stuff... data corruption would be annoying, but not a disaster. Plus, if it's a command line option, it will keep people who don't know what they're doing from playing with it.

Anyone reading, please beware these instructuions may lead to data corruption.

To change to my prefered scheduler
Code:

cd /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/
echo deadline > scheduler

To list available schedulers:
Code:

cd /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/
cat scheduler

The schedulers' specific tunables are in the 'iosched' subdir. To list their values:
Code:

cd /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/
cd iosched
grep . ./*

You may change their values using
Code:

echo #VALUE > @file
replace #VALUE with a number and @file with the tunable filename.

Oh, you need to be root to change anything. And remember, the changes will stick until reboot.

traysh,

You must not only delete all accounts but from terminal delete:

/home/user/.accounts
/home/user/.aegis
/home/user/.activesync

reboot and enter the passwords once and you will not be asked again...

Oh, thank you a lot. I'll use that if I need to recover again

Re: [Testing needed] FasterN9
 
Also traysh, Now that your phone is normal, as root in terminal:

Code:

disclaimer-cal remove View-openmode

This ensures that the next time your device MALF's and you fix malf state the ugly warranty void message doesn't come at every boot-up...

If it still comes up you can just flash the openmode kernel after fixing MALF state:

Code:

flasher -a rootfs.bin -k kernel_2.6.32-20121301+0m8.dsc --flash-only=kernel --suppress-warranty-warning -f -R

The kernel can be gotten from: http://depot.javispedro.com/nit/harm...121301+0m8.dsc

I can confirm.
GPS works flawlessly with FasterN9. Never had problems.

Locks satellites in mere seconds.

Re: [Testing needed] FasterN9
 
performance gain is a big issue, right? So we won't go back to the deadline I/O scheduler?

I wouldn't mind an unstable version with that problem fixed.

testing new version.. Seems to work well so far.. Keep up the awesome work!

I think what traysh is that he found out how to use the deadline I/O scheduler without causing problems, but he will release it after 1.0(stable). His release with deadline I/O scheduler will be classed as unstable.

Hope I got this right traysh

flopjoke 2012-09-18 08:33

Re: [Testing needed] FasterN9
 
aah.. Thanks. Yeah, let's see how both of them work.. Stable and unstable versions.

So, 2 more tries. I won't attach these packages to the first post as they are very small modifications of version 0.9.11 and there are no new features, just tried to fix FirewallPlus Pro.

Please test them and tell me if any or both worked.

Oh, reboot after installing any of them just in case.

Ok, then I'll release the 'd' version as 0.9.12.

Please use it for some days and report if there is any problem or tracker corruption. It's to soon to tell it's fixed. If no big problem show up for anyone, 0.9.12 will be 1.0.

Edit: it's there in the first post. ibrakalifa, thank you for your patience as well.

Re: [Testing needed] FasterN9
 
Hello :) I have two questions. I installed v 0.9.10 last week but I uninstalled it because the alarm didn't make a sound when it rang. Is this fixed in 0.9.12 or is there a way to fix it? My second question is if I install 0.9.12 should I uninstall if before I change the housing of my N9? Thanks

The alarm problem is a known bug. It will happen after installing until you reboot your phone. After you reboot once, this bug will be gone.

About the housing question, I didn't understand it, maybe someone else can answer

TheN9er 2012-09-19 00:56

Re: [Testing needed] FasterN9
 
It is safe to reboot the phone with v0.9.12 installed? Regarding the housing, i thought is was unsafe to reboot the phone so i would uninstall before changing it. Thanks for answering quickly and the work you have done :D

This is still a development version, but nobody had problems rebooting the phone with it installed yet

Just have to say that there is a noticeable and huge improvement on my device. Opening a website and opening a link in a new window, and then swiping through the desktops to get to the old window was very laggy, now it's seamless. Great improvement. Keep it up.

FasterN9 + QuickTweak A4/C/F4 (made text bold and also cyan (00FFFF) in low power screen, and finally increased date font to size 3)/M (android user agent)/Q/U/EE (because wanted to do M)

Very happy after these mods. The phone feels more responsive, most websites are more usable on stock browser, and on top of that my IDLE power consumption decreased..

Schturman 2012-09-21 18:59

Re: [Testing needed] FasterN9
 
2-3 weeks ago I updated from 0.9.7 to 0.9.10 (installed over) = no issues
2-3 days ago I updated from 0.9.10 to 0.9.12 (installed over) = no issues

I also use a many tweaks from N9QT, without any problem...

traysh, thank you for your good work !

Did you reboot I between these free commands? FasterN9 is not a memory mod (anymore), so it's not supposed to cause that big difference. It should make your phone faster by increasing the priority of the foreground apps

ivo777 2012-09-22 16:11

Re: [Testing needed] FasterN9
 
Yes,I have rebooted device after install.
What's about SWAP using,why used is 0,did you remove SWAP?

PS: After long use of device free memory is more than before ;)

Nope Swap isn't removed...If it was turned off it would show the value as 0 in total size too...It must just be you haven't used your phone too much for swap to be filled up ;)
