gregorovius, I spent a long time trying to work around needing performance mode.
However in the end I have accepted it has to stay.

The problem is that I have optimized the software so much that when rendering a screen of text the CPU thinks it has nothing important to do (it is under 40% utilization) and so slows down.

I can fix this natively by rendering the whole page multiple times, but that is more wasteful than simply using performance mode.

I leave my cpu in performance and have not had any noticable power drains I continue to be able to run all day long and as far as I can gather the cpu still has wait states and sleep time, and the peripherals are not effected by this setting in any way, so it doesnt really matter.
Obviously feedback on this would be important.

As for the corruptions on first runs, a few people have said this now and its concerning me.
As I said its happened to me just a few times over hte last months - its never been identifiable and on next run works perfectly.
Its possible that its related to the framebuffer itself.
Do the people who have framebuffer glitches also occasionally have glitches when playing movies?



Oh, text files - I tried to stop it from caring which type of crlf it gets but theres a definite chance its just windows files. it reads the books I need for now.
If you can send me a test file showing your glitches I'll gladly try to iron them out for you.

Yes I had glitches while watching something on WorldTV99 in kmplayer and switched from OSSO media player to MPlayer, but it was some time ago and never occurred again...

I had the screen glitches at first too, one at the top, once at the bottom. I wonder if they're not somehow related to the first screen where you type in your user name with the virtual keyboard, since it doesn't seem to happen on subsequent runs...

However, "test area" always shuts down liqbase almost immediately after drawing a few rectangle outlines... is this supposed to happen ?

heh, no the test area isn't meant to shutdown - on mine it enumerates a few images and lets you move them around like the sketch based physics view.

If its crashing it most likely a bad picture or something *yikes*
Could you run liqbase from the console (something like "liqbase-run >~/MyDocs/liqbase.log") and send me the log to my address.

It should highlight where the problem is, if not the logging I do is useless and needs fixing.

thanks for releasing the app on sunday-i have some time to play today-...i'll try not to break it-

prk60091, i haven't actually released it.
This is just a test but you are more than welcome to try it and give your input.

After this I will be pushing it through to extras for everyone to grab.

great app!! thanks for the .deb!

Does processor setting 'stick' after exiting liqbase? I'd like to stay in performance mode

tiny problems:

• 400x240: font is too big for buttons in drawing mode
• tablet froze hard when drawing -- I'll run console + logging, see if I can get some helpful info
• can't find bacon, still looking

qole,
yes performance mode change will remain until reboot or change.
after reboot it reverts to ondemand setting.
I get a noticeable boost when compiling and generally working on the machine this way: compilation of whole system goes from around a minute in performance to nearer 10 minutes on ondemand. ui apps aren't so different but theres a general kick and responsiveness I had not seen before

Font being too big, its technically too big at normal resolution, as I said as long as its usable put up with the too big font for now, it will be replaced by images automagically soon.

The hard freeze is bad, when it occurs the console tells me its an XV error of some kind and simply will not work until reboot or killall -9 from an already open console.
Its very very rare though - about the same as i've seen it with other apps and certainly not reproducible.
Send me the log I'll try to put something together and speak to some technical folks to see if an underlying reason can be uncovered - otoh though, it could simply be my code which needs fixing. send it me anyway.

bacon, bacon, bacon - send me a bottle of the green elixir and I will tell you where it is

Okay, a couple more datapoints.

I have liqbase installed on the N810 (running Chinook) and the N800 (running Diablo with the latest SSU).

On the N810 test area runs fine, showing somes pictures I have on mmc2.

On the N800 it fails almost immediately.

Running the above command I get "Unsupported color conversion request" - printed in the console, no error message in liqbase.log.

On first try it was on some random png it found in internal flash. I deleted it just in case and tried again, now it fails at "liqtile easyrun ui(800,480)".

Anything else you want me to run ?

some initial observations:

select a book: works well
sometimes view a star your contact info doesn't disappear (1 in 3 times i have tried) but i like the view a star with date and time info on the screen

the graffiti wall i like a real lot- has a lot of potential

the test area pulled jpgs of stuff i didnt remember i had

i like the fluid motion on the map and in the test area

looks very good on my n810 w/800x400


all in all very cool app i look forward to more
