Same here - So with the fix, we should not have this issue as much (if at all) but the downside to it is that some apps will be available, that really are not compatible.

@ Mitre - da da da dada da da :lol:

what else you thinking of 'just the id stuff


Yep, done that already on my excel and increased vm cache to 42m.

Just going to do mainly id for market. Then more stuff in build.prop V2


Hi.
What does increasing the VM cache improve?

Thanks.

@blueeagle69 - It's the dalvik.vm.heapsize (virtual memory) - It's meant to help games perform better, but having to big a size can make this worse - Just testing it at the mo' - not seen a massive increase performance.

Hi. Thanks Charlie.
I thought it had something to do with that area of the system.
I wish we could slightly increase memory reserved for the GPU :)

Thanks again for the reply.

Ok I have stopped the build.prop causing a bootloop now, but the build.prop is not finished yet :(


Changing this causes a boot loop - So DON'T do it!

Code: Select all
ro.product.device=crane-evb

Can people, please suggest some apps that I can search for on the market that you can not find on there at the mo' with the Excel? (so I can test this mod) - Thanks


UPDATE: - Well ITV Player is now showing in the market :)
