OpenZaurus/Opie/Qtopia / Optimizing The Qpe Start-up Time

« on: August 08, 2008, 08:07:19 am »

Hi,everyone
    Recently,i have done something about Optimizing the qpe start-up time,as the start-up time of qpe is so slow for consumer products.
    i find it needs to cost half of start-up of time to load plugin(
inputmethod,applet.....).i want to find some ways to load plugin after
UI visible.but i failed.
    anyone who did it before,can u give u some tips?
    thx in advance

Actuallly i havent tried to optimize it the way you are doing but there is another way. Try reducing the size of the executables in the $QPEDIR/bin folder. You can use the "strip" command of the GCC Compiler.

If you have compiled for the ARM architecture then you must use the arm-linux-strip command. Dont use the ordinary strip or it will screw your binaries.

I had 3.0 MB of qpe executable  and i striped it down to make it 2.5 MB. Significant change in performance was observed.  

As a side note: I think it will be very difficult to optimize the code in the way you suggested. That's because the various components of the main QPE executable is linked with a lot others in a shared manner. You may say: "Shared Dependencies of Components and services".  

Anyways if you are succesful in increasing loadind/startup performance of your QPE binary then do post your experiences back.  

Thanks

hI
i Just added/edited the folllowing lines...

export QTOPIA_PHONE_VENDOR="wavecom"
export QTOPIA_PHONE_MUX=no
export QTOPIA_PHONE_DEVICE="/dev/ttyS1:115200"


and then i run

$QPEDIR/bin/qpe -terminal 3                 ##The 'terminal' doesnt change anything

Now the problem is it says "Please Wait" on the main screen. And keeps on waiting..!  

If i change the last line.....

export QTOPIA_PHONE_DEVICE="/dev/null:115200"



It again says "No Modem"  

I am really stuck on it ....

If you guys out there, come and read this post and dont know the solution then there might be a chance that you know this..

[size=]Is there is a device that is similar in architecture/GSM operation to HP IPAQ 6315 having a working Qtopia-based distro?[/size]

Any Reply will be highly appreciated...!

Thanks a lot....

Hi all...!

I dont know whether its a right question to ask herein this forum...but...anyways..
@Mods Kindly move it to the right place if it is in a wrong forum...

All i want is to run qtopia on HP IPAQ 6365.

I compiled Qtopia Open Source 4.2.x and ran it HP IPAQ 6365.
(I can provide the details if somebody wants but i have a different query right now..!)

Qtopia PIM runs on it with most of the Devices DISABLED...!

Camera Application ----says cant find Camera...
Call Application ------ "No Modem".  
Sim Application ----- says that "Sim not inserted" althougjh sim is there.
Audio and Media Player ----- No sound is there. I havent checked a video...!    

I compiled qtopia with phone and phonevendor option enabled set to "wavecomm" as Wismo Pac P5186 Wavecomm GSM Module is there in HP IPAQ 6365.

I have tried to disable "Multiplexer" option as well at runtime to check whether the GSM Module works or not.

My main Goal is to make the GSM Module detect the network, read sim, send and receive messages and calls but the GSM Modem is not detected and the main Qtopia screen says "No modem" on Qtopia PIM Startup.

Qtopia Opensource has a built-in driver for Wavecomm. But either it doesnt work or i am doing something wrong....!

Can anybody help help in this regard???

I started this work as my Term Project and i must complete it.

Any reply is highly appreciated.

Thanks
