Re: [Everyone's feedback required] Which applications do we need on Fremantle?
 

Almost forgot: I think we need a working (up-to-date version) AdBlockPlus.

Re: [Everyone's feedback required] Which applications do we need on Fremantle?
 

Adblockplus is very resource-hungry and causes mysterious browser hangs.. Better to use /etc/hosts adblocking

Re: [Everyone's feedback required] Which applications do we need on Fremantle?
 

/etc/hosts maybe the way to handle the adblocking, but handling the /etc/hosts manually, feels a bit hassle these days. With search I can find a thread about Advoid that automatiacly dowloaded blocklist for /etc/hosts and appended it to the file, but I cant find download for the app and doubt that it is really maintained anymore. Could an automatic script for this be in the needed list, with the addition of switching it moderately easily on and off?

Edit: Found it in the Garage, but I cant seem to install it. Have see what I can do about it.

It's for Diablo (Maemo 4), so no wonder. This could be reused by the potential developer.
This could be reused too: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=48544
Adding this to the pad.

I was trying NITDroid's (15) Dalvik inside chroot environment similar to what thp described here.
The easy-debian chroot idea is not bad!
I've ended up with segmentation fault. I have to analyse strace output and give it second chance :)

(Maybe create special thread for this one?)

Yes, create a separate thread!

Re: [Everyone's feedback required] Which applications do we need on Fremantle? Which of the existing need to be optified?
 

Update: Please add non-optified apps to the list too, because they are sometimes a scourge!

Re: [Everyone's feedback required] Which applications do we need on Fremantle? Which of the existing need to be optified?
 

Could you please remove bash4 from your optify list?

It is not some random tool, but a vital part if you have it as your default shell (like me). That's why it is in /bin, and nothing there is symlinked to a location outside it (not on my device at least).

I don't want bash tucked away on some non-root disk and not being able to get a login shell without e.g. /opt mounted.

And for what, gaining 684 kilobyte? That is neither going to prevent people from abandoning Fremantle nor attract new users. Better focus on the initial goal (and hard part); creating missing apps for that...

System Shock (the first one, obviously) would be a great performance test. Like, I guess it will be as slow on FastDosBox as in normal one ;)

BTW, I'm not much surprised, that you see no performance increase. I may be wrong, but all that FastDosBox things sounds like marketing nonsense to me (like 99% of things in Android "ecosystem" of applications), rather than real performance-increasing patches. If it would be so great, upstream would gladly pull changes...

i'll see if i have it still.

there are quite a few changes compared to our dosbox 0.74 but some of those might just be from upstream git. i'll have a little play around and get back with findings/ source upload.
