Crashes on G1 w/o of memory (I think) w/Cyanogenmod

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First of all-- it worked on my g1 1 w/cyanogenmod (overclocked to 528MHz
w/SetCPU), using the demo pak0 (that is, all legit) files.

I get the id logo animation and menu (keyboard input works, sound works but
is stuttery, and the mouse ball moves the cursor).  Seemed to take anything
for CD-Key.  Most menu options (setup, etc.) work, but I can't start a game
though because after selecting the level and "I can win" I get

I/ActivityManager(  143): Low Memory: No more background processes.

Then a bunch of these:

D/dalvikvm( 1942): GC freed 63 objects / 501224 bytes in 487ms

Then..

I/WindowManager(  143): WIN DEATH: Window{43cbd9a8
org.kwaak3/org.kwaak3.Game paused=false}
I/ActivityManager(  143): Process org.kwaak3 (pid 1942) has died.
I/WindowManager(  143): WIN DEATH: Window{43cbe618 SurfaceView paused=false}
W/UsageStats(  143): Unexpected resume of com.android.launcher while
already resumed in org.kwaak3
I/ActivityManager(  143): Low Memory: No more background processes.

Back to home.  I doubt this will ever run flawlessly on the g1, but it
would be cool to see what kind of fps it gets on a rooted Dream w/overclock.

Pretty amazing to see this even starting up :)  Congrats.

I tried killing widgets and other apps thinking it might save some memory, but 
no go.
 Looks like maybe it got further though.  Here's another death log:

A guy I worked with ran it on his G1. I have no idea what firmware he is using. 
He
has issues with sound though (the game is more sensitive to crash then) but 
without
the game gets about 10fps in a timedemo and with some tweaking he can sometimes 
reach
about 20fps in game. I'll forward him to here.

I have a HTC Dream G1 running Cyanogen 4.2.14.1. The installer quits because it 
cant 
seem to access the sdcard. I then find an application called kwaak3. When it 
starts up, 
I get two options: Start game and Visit website. When I click Start game it 
quits with 
"unable to locate /sdcard/quake3".  When I browse the sdcard I dont find this 
folder 
either. Seems that the installer cant install to the sdcard.

Can any one help? Is this an issue to do with applications installing to the 
sdcard?

I'd be curious about the firmware + any background apps he may have going.

So I tried some stuff to free up RAM.  First I killed extra tasks/processes 
including
syncing, then I went to "Spare Parts" and turned off "Home App In Memory".  I 
also
turned Compcache on.

This time it got way further:

Turning compcache off resulted in faster performance in the animation of the 
logo,
but it crashed faster.

Jojo786:  you need to create /sdcard/quake3 and /sdcard/quake3/baseq3 on your 
sdcard.
 Then you need to download the q3 demo from id at
ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake3/linux/linuxq3ademo-1.11-6.x86.gz.sh and
install, then copy pak0.pk3 and put it in /quake3/baseq3.  Finally you need to 
get
the Quake3 1.32 update for your OS (I used OS X) to get the other pk3 files and 
put
them there next to the pak0.pk3 file.  Then it should work.

jojo786-- one last note on installing that demo.  It's straightforward in 
Linux, but
if you're on Mac, you can do it like this:

Let's say you download it to your Desktop.

Run Applications>Utilities>Terminal and type:

cd Desktop
chmod a+x linuxq3ademo-1.11-6.x86.gz.sh
./linuxq3ademo-1.11-6.x86.gz.sh -confirm -target ~/Desktop/q3

After it verifies the image and uncompresses, say "no" to "install?" (or just 
close
the terminal).  Then, you'll find what you're looking for on the desktop in the 
"q3"
folder.  Look inside "demoq3".

I'm curious if you can get to the playable part.

It is somewhat playable without sound though :) Even multiplayer works, great 
work!

I plan to make some changes to the audio code soon which will improve 
performance and
might lead to less memory consumption.

In case of performance really play with some quake settings. E.g. use vertex
lighting, lower texture quality and geometry. In the game menu set 2d items and
disable some more stuff.

G1 owner here (without Cyanogen). I had to turn off sound to get it to run, or 
it
would continually crash back to the home screen.

Nicely ported though! Good stuff!  :o)

Original comment by e...@waxworlds.org on 25 Feb 2010 at 3:43

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Turning off sound worked :)  It now runs and is semi-playable (the controls 
aren't
ideal for this kind of game...)

Using "/cg_drawFPS 1" from the menu, I get about 8-20 fps depending on what I'm
looking at.

Pretty amazing.  I'm looking forward to the audio code improvements.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I uploaded an experimental version with the new audio code. On my Milestone I 
get
0.5fps extra (from 20 to 20.5). On the G1 the boost could even be a little more 
since
memory was scarce. I'm not sure if the code is any more stable though. On 
Milestone I
now encountered some stability issues during the timedemo with sound enabled 
and I'm
not sure if I had those before.

I have uploaded a new test build which might be more stable. It decreases 
performs a
little but the previous code had some nasty bug. It is available at

Sorry to dissapoint but its still low-memory dieing, with sound enabled, on my

Using kwaak3_test_v11c.apk and lowest-possible audio/video quality.

Still, I'm amazed by how well it runs. Also how annoyed people can be when your

With audio off, it works perfectly on my G1. It's even normally playable. Just 
needs 
accelerometer to navigate. 

What I think is just Cyanogen's rom is not powerful enough. You could try 
SuperD 
193 (that's what I'm using, off course, with no swap, compcache and ramhack). 
All 
levels run pretty good (except demo). I don't even need to lower the 
textures... If you 
need more info contact me petrikas.m at google. I'll try to turn on fps and 
post the 
results. :)

Good luck.

(edit: I get 10-15fps with one bot in Q3DM1 and up to 27 while standing in the 
RLauncer spawn spot (woot!), so, once again, it's very playable) By the way, 
this test 
was performed in low textures conditions. :)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yeah, I get about hte same as Petrikas M. with Cyanogenmod and no sound.  I'm
guessing the .wav files or whatever is taking up a ton of memory.  Wonder if
compressing or reducing the number of sound files would make a difference.

I fear this bug can't be fixed since the G1 just has unsufficient memory :( To 
be honest it is already a miracle that the game works on this phone and that it 
is somewhat playable. Typically the G1 runs at not that much more than 300MHz 
quite impressive and it has a very bad GPU.
