TNAP-5.1 Image Discussion

[ArloG]

Interesting how diligence and persistence made it work.
Wondering. Is there a utility or command line that will layout, zero fill a partition from another running slot to prep it for a USB image flash?
Is that even a thing or is all of that done when doing a USB install? Some place a while back hinted that remnants could be left behind if the new image was smaller than the one it replaces.
Good question?

Well, started to do some signal adjustings. As soon as I enter the "signal finder" menu , the box is slowing down to the point that is just stahls, and i have to unplug it to be able to get it back to useable situation.
See the dreadful spinner as the box struggles to respond to the comands:

I guess is getting more sluggish as in the previous 5.1 version.

Try the PLi-FullNightHD skin. I do see the sluggishness with the GlamourAuraFHD skin here as well.

Would setting a swap file help? How about memory/processor usage? It is swamped?

Let's see what can be done about this. Some major changes may be needed. Thanks for the feedback.

changed the skin, but still slugginess, not so bad like on Aura, but still there. no such behavior on other pli based images.

here are pic of memory activity: mem1 is before going into "positioner setup" menu.
mem2 is after, when the sluggishness started.

I do not find any major changed, unless I need new glasses !

Please Flash 0426. You should find some improvements. Thanks.

Installing the 0426 version went well. All online updates installed ok.
Everything was good till I enter positioner setup-fine movement. After playing with the step e & step w, the sluggishness started to show up to the point that at the "exit" command the screen goes black for few seconds before you can see where you are in the menu. This is happening with Aura skin.
Fullnight hd skin performs a bit better with shorten lagging time in between the commands.
Overall, looks that it is an improvement for osmio4k+, fullnight hd skin, at least. Aura skin is still bad.

What happens when you flash the image without restoring anything?

The Positioner setup may be the problem as it is logging signal in db. This is the only thing that has changed in Positioner setup.
