EXT4 support for CM7 Specific Kernel

SO, thanks to kissingmylove ramdisk, which we will base our new ramdisk, we can have EXT4 support on our kernel, and after lots of tries, finally EXT4 booted up on my device! Speed of the device has been really improved, and you could take a look at media scanner, it really read the images much faster than before! Screenshoot of booting ext4...



Now on the device (thanks lopicl.00)

      I've ext4 partition type on my S5830i so I can help you.

      On RFS my phone with 16GB SDCard unlagged from media scanner about 1.5 minutes.
      On EXT4 my phone with the same SDCard unlagged from MS about 30 seconds.

      I'm using RazoDroid v2.5 with Rafael.Baugis 2012 CWM5 kernel.

      PS: Sorry for my english.

      No, EXT4 is better FS than EXT2. It have more stable infrastructure and journaling (on our FS journaling is disabled, but who know what biel do with it?. It's faster, better, more stable, and... I don't know... :)

      I think Biel is this one who don't speak a lot instead making a lot. He is working on many projects for many devices (take a look in download) so he can also take a fresh air away from keyboard (AFK - standard word in many games).

      CM9.1 stay away, and I think it will be continued after releasing stable Final 1 version of CM7.2.

Audio working, what about nes release?

Hi there, I managed to get audio working, but just on speakers at the moment. I've made really big step up, but we do not have Audio Sources for other communications and that is really bad. I'll try to figure out how to make them work (front speaker and headphone), without any kind of source. Apart from that, I've bad news too, RIL has been broken due to new Audio libs. This is really weird, and I must figure it out too, although that will be really difficult. I want to make you a question, would you like to see Beta 3 with audio (speakers) working and more fixes that you don't know, BUT with RIL broken? Fixing RIL will take a lot of time to make them compatible with new Audio sources... So what you think? () Release Beta 3 (RIL broken) Yes No    pollcode.com free polls    This Poll is still work in porgress... I don't know if it will work as it should. Make sure to leave a comment too with your opinion! NOTE: RIL means 2g and 3g. Radio Int

Daily update

I'm trying now to give you some quick updates. CM9 development is still work in progress. We can't release it because mainly two things: Lot of work is made in one day, so if we release something, next day we will have to update it, and we don't have enough time to support nightlies. Release will be when we think the ROM is stabler and better than Beta 4, which still is not. Rom is not yet ready! We have reworked from 0 repositories and kernel. It gives a much more better expierence, but is unstable too. Remember that BroadcomCM will support CM9 and CM7 while androidarmv6 team will support CM11. We do really ahve to thank psyke83, he has solved many issues and helped me and Alberto on the process of making the ROM. Thanks to him (and a bit of us :P) we will have the best CM9 ROM ever made, jsut some patience... All updates of CM9 can be watched on broadcomCM repositories and you will found all the work we are making on this release!

Big news! New laptop!

Image
Well although this is not releated to development, I've bought a new PC, finally! I've been working hard this year with kids at soccer team, and with my saves, I've expended them on this nice laptop. The laptop is a Lenovo G510 with this specifications: Processor : Intel Core i7 - 4702 MQ RAM Memory : 4GB DDR3 (One slot free) Graphics : AMD Radeon r7 M265 Hard Drive : 500 GB Price: 599 Euros (820 dollar, 490 pounds, 49499 ruppies) Although you may think that with this laptop everything will be faster, you will have to wait a bit. My old PC with all the files and configurations is disconnected at the moment, and pending of a formatting. I shall restore the backup I made, and that is a huge amount of data... Apart from that I'm asking you if you can DONATE to me, to buy the second slot of RAM to upgrade to 8 GB and then be a perfect PC for Android compiling. I can tell you that all my saves + donation money went to this PC and now I'm on 0, so I can
