It's still needed. The Android process manager is actually very efficient for a pretty decent range of system sizes. You should look at tuning the /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree variable (check out the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622666 for some investigation), but certainly don't disable it.

Even on my Nexus one (which has ~400MB of usable RAM for userspace applications), Android is reliant on the memory killer.

Also note that you don't want a huge swap, unless the N900's NAND access is _really_ fast. It's often faster to suspend/resume processes in Android than page parts back into working memory.

BTW, great work. Hoping you get back to the N8x0 port sometime, so I can use my N800 again. :-)

I guess this question is for either titan or DJ_Steve...

How do we leverage kexec in titan's kernel to boot Android off of the microsd card? Do you still need bootmenu or how do you configure the Android boot option?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

kexec allows you to boot one kernel and then transfer to another (as well as another rootfs). So if you were looking for a dual boot situation with titans kernel for Maemo and a kernel for Android, you can run a script in Maemo (with titans kernel) to change over to the Android kernel and boot MMC.

that soujnds like best way if we can do it.

ok just had to post this link here when i saw it on twitter - - http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/n...und-the-edges/ << im beginning to get slightly famous ere

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Yes, I agree, there's clearly too much at stake to continue this highly rewarding effort of porting android to the n900. I think I speak for everyone when i say that this port is now a lost cause, and that work on porting android to the n8X0 devices should resume as usual.


jk have fun with your new, cool friends :'(

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
