Calling all Polaroid PMID-1000D Users...

[CaptED]

Hi to all....

Not sure if you have checked Polaroid Website for a PMID1000D OTA (Firmware) ... They have put a NON corrupted copy up now..

http://www.southerntelecom.com/polaroidsupport/firmware/

( I have not tried it Yet, as I am currently Using "Elektrik's Expermintal Version")

New Location of the Firmware... (Thanks Elektrik)

Thread of what steps I have taken before NOW..
Goto the last few Post by me and see what I have done...

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?3427-EXPERIMENTAL-PMID1000D-Modified-Stock

While I still have some Lagging ... I have turned OFF 'Windows Animation Scale' and 'Transition Animation Scale' and set the Background Process Limits to 2 (tested 4 also) ... You must set this each time you boot...

Unless someone tells how to fix it to come up when booted...

Now I did check my CPU Using this method by dolorespark

Do I have an A10 or A13? Terminal Emulator app, run "cat /proc/cpuinfo". Look next to the 'Hardware' entry: it should say either "sun4i" (A10) or "sun5i" (A13). If it says anything else, don't use these files.

Do I have 9 or 10 partitions? Terminal Emulator app, run "cat /proc/partitions". If the last entry is "nandi", you have 9; if it's "nandj", you have 10.
=============================================
My PMID 1000D is a ARMv7 (A10) and has 9 partitions...

So if your is a A10 .... Has anyone tried the "V6 Supercharger" for A10
If you have what kind of response or change did you notice....

=============================================
Now to a easy way to clean the "dalvik cache"

All you need to do is:
-Run The Terminal and Type:
su
cd /data/dalvik-cache
rm *
exit
-Restart Your Device;
-Reboot will take a bit longer because you have cleared the cache and it has to be rebuilt.

I missed a couple things....

Hi to All Readers....

A couple more things...

Normal boot time is 49 seconds...
First boot after cleaning the dalvik-cache was 1 min 23 seconds....

I removed all Widgets except 2 (App Cache Cleaner and Screenshot)

Widgets use memory all the time... Apk's use memory until you close them down...

More as I learn it

Hey Ed. As an fyi, you're linking to an old location for the image. Here's the new location:

P.S. Ed, since you've apparently been using it for a while, is it safe for me to remove the 'experimental' tag?

[CaptED]

Using since March 16th

Hi "Elektrik" and all other readers.....

Yes you can remove the 'Experimental Tag' as I have been using it daily since March 16th...

While I still have some Lagging with the Tablet, I believe it to be more Hardware than and thing
else...

Thanks for the updated link on the location of the Firmware ... I did modify the Orginal Post ...

Update to Orginal Post

Hi to all Readers...

Update after a couple days usage ...

Cleaning the "dalvik-cache" was a big help...

Setting Background Processes to 4... worked best for the way I use the tablet...

You must set this after each Boot....

I personally entered a Note in the Owner Info section... so each time I boot I see the note
before I swipe to unlock...
====================================
I have read that using a MicroSD class 6 or 10 would improve the Tablets performance...
While I do not really see how, I am will to try a class 10 ($18.00)
I am currently using a Class 4 ... and I keep all my PDF's, FLAC's & Videos plus App Backups on
the external MicroSD...

Hi I attempted the Supercharger on my pmid1000 (aka pmid10c) and it does not quite work. It wipes out the disk mapping to the internal memory so there is no storage. I did not kill my tablet, I just installed the current firmware (no format of course) and it came back just as it did before the supercharge.

Have you done anything else to improve the performance?
