[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
I don't come close to understanding the bits and bytes of it all, but the MTD partitions are the partitions on your phones internal memory. System, data, and cache partitions. If I remember correctly, the stock D/S had a 30Mb cache partition that is pretty much unused by newer ROMS. You only need 2Mb, on D/S at least. It depends on the SPL, but the system was partitioned at 90 MB. By putting the ROM on a diet so it fits in a 70Mb partition (vs 90) and reallocating cache to 2 (vs 30), I end up with an extra 48 Mb of space (20 + 28 Mb) on data for installing apps. For me, it eliminates the need to use apps2sd or ext. Everything is installed internal to keep things as fast and efficient as possible.
[G1 Android Development] Eutherin:
When trying to flash the rom I get:

Installing update... assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.33.0013" || getprop("ro.bootloader") =="1.33.2013" || getprop("ro.bootloader") == "1.33.0013d"

E:Error in /sdcard/signed_update-cm-7.1.0-RC2-DS.zip

Any advice?

Edit: my hboot doesnt match these numbers, is that the cause? and if so is support coming soon or do i need to update my phone?

My current Hboot is 1.33.2005 (DREA10000)
[G1 Android Development] danthepan124:
Can you do this with the actual nondiet ROM?
[G1 Android Development] Rushness:
Yeah you'll have to upadate your Hboot..
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Sure...you'll just need to leave a 87 to 90 MB system partition. A 90/2 would be safe.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Yes, thats the reason. My computer is on the fritz. So for now you can try and add your hboot to the updater-script until I can get it added. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hope you get it.
[G1 Android Development] xavier6303:
I am loving this rom.... I took sisterchick's diet and slimmed it even more (didnt need the genie widget and some others) and man is it fast... I average about 35-36 mb of ram available and I have about 138 mb of phone storage total and 93mb available.

This breathed new life into my G1!

Many thanks to dw9906, sisterchick, EZterry, Firerat, and everyone else along the way. Now, instead of a new phone, I can just get an asus eee transformer!

Thanks

-Kevin
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
That's cool! What else did you take out? I may do the same.
[G1 Android Development] xavier6303:
From gapps, I removed the genie widget. I'm wondering if I could safely remove GoogleFeedback and MarketUpdater (I dont mind the old market).

From the actual rom I actually added some of my preferred apps but I'm thinking about removing soundrecorder as I dont think I'll ever find a use for it. Just not sure if some other builtin might use it.

So actually, I guess I only removed 1 app from gapps but I am using apps2sd
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
I went over to http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Barebones and made a list of other stuff that seemed safe to remove, mainly from the gapps package.

applicationsprovider.apk

development.apk

googlefeedback.apk

googlepartnersetup.apk

htmlviewer.apk

soundback.apk

speechrecorder.apk

stk.apk

talkback.apk

marketupdater.apk (I use the old Market and don't want it to update.)

I made a new diet CM7 for my personal use yesterday with skinny gapps, removing that stuff if present (not all are in the GB gapps). So far so good!
[G1 Android Development] xavier6303:
I think I'll remove the same. Any force closes on anything yet?
[G1 Android Development] WiseJoeyD:
This is the Android I've been looking for :p

Loads of memory free, and feels less like precious Mhz are being wasted on kickbacks, slapbacks or whatever memory hogs were normally included :).

There is one refrain to all the praise for a working stable Gingerbread Rom on our olde hardware...

Do yous also have a kind of 'stuttery' feel to screen animations/scrolling/that kind of thing?

{CPU sped up through Cyan Settings; Dither off}
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Not a one! So far, so good. I also axed Talk. No new problems with Market thus far either.

No problems with scrolling and I personally turn off the windows and transition animations in Spare Parts. Everything just pops right in. I'm using stock CPU settings to preserve battery.
[G1 Android Development] WiseJoeyD:
Went back to an old build.prop tweak I tried on another ROM (GingerYoshi)

debug.sf.hw

Tried =1. Nada

Then read a very interesting post here -->

... and tried =0

It's much better!

Strange, but true!

{Mine's a Magic btw, so perhaps this relates to the slightly different hardware}
[G1 Android Development] Moe29:
Can you post a link to this new diet as well ?

I really like the ability to manually select / install which apps I use on the phone, and not be forced to use whatever google through at us
[G1 Android Development] danthepan124:
Does this come with theme chooser?
[G1 Android Development] darius99:
yeah this rom includes Theme Chooser :cool:
[G1 Android Development] winkerg1:
How is this rom with missing SMS? I have had problems before and tried to stay away but the 2.3.5 urge is hurting me!!!

A question for the assembled ranks of First Gen Android Lovers here

How's Maps for you on DietCyan? Smooth as silk, or slow and unresponsive?

Sadly for me it's the later, just wondering if it's something I needed to live with or if it's just my phone
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Current Google Maps has gotten too big to run on a G1. Ezterry has Google Maps 4.7 and Brut Maps 4.6 available on his site for download. They still work. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=882356
[G1 Android Development] WiseJoeyD:
Thanks sisterchick :)

With that in mind I uninstalled Maps 5.x as well as Facebook 1.7 and the market updater and went back to 2.3.6 Market.

Went back to 4.7 like you suggested as well as 1.6 Facebook. Think it's really helped with the performance problems I'd been having.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
I know DW9906 has been swamped at work and having computer trouble, so I hope he doesn't mind. Firerat has posted a new build of CM7 with Mapgie and auto cMTD. If you are interested, here is Firerat's Google+ post:

"Seeing as this is soooo 'sexy' I compiled a Magpie for Dream/Sapphire

Besides the new HTC Sense3 inspired 'Ring' lockscreen, as per below, it also contains the security updates to the root certs ( no need to fix with cacertman )

set the 'ring' in

cm settings ==> lockscreen ==> style options ==> lockscreen style

tick custom app starter,

then configure custom apps ( you can add upto four )

Now on your lock screen, drag the CM logo to the app for direct launch

Meh, YouTube in here https://plus.google.com/107781482214908618949/posts/2RYgZpZQFun

it will have other stuff as well, it being a while since I last compiled ( 2011-07-27)

My Dropbox page http://bit.ly/ln4PF6 ( which I should clean up )

Direct link to update-cm-7-20110926-Magpie-DS-signed.zip http://bit.ly/nZCO0x

You guys know the drill,

it is full fat, trim what you don't want/need

don't go crazy installing memory greedy apps

use compache (zram) if you want, but I find it slows you down

task Managers are BS, un-install them

don't expect too much, 1st gen device is slow device today."

Notes:

If you are using custom MTD, the full stock version of CM7 with added Gapps needs 87/2 mtdpartmap.txt
[G1 Android Development] darius99:
Thanx alot for these links sisterchick.

flashed and booted your diet version stock build.currently using it. might try firerats own soon :D

update: i LOVE the new ring lockscreen. really pleasant looking,i prefer the size to the sense 3.0 ring, and its real fluid when pulling it all around the screen.
[G1 Android Development] mindstate:
digging this rom, flashed it last night, its working well, Very nice work. I am interested in that MagPie CM7 too though, i may flash
[G1 Android Development] muleskinner:
Anyone else have a problem with the google apps original setup? Everytime I try to setup it will force close on me. I followed the install and all seemed to go well untill It boots up to that point. Anything anyone can reccommend?
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Maybe try sisterchicks skinny gapps.
[G1 Android Development] mdneilson:

Did it flash for ya just fine? I don't understand the problems. It flashes just fine for me.
[G1 Android Development] flyers00:
I tried flashing the ROM last night using AMONRA on my G1, should I be using Clockwork to flash the ROM?
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Try with Clockwork.
[G1 Android Development] flyers00:
Thanks I will give it a try later and let you know if it works or not. Flashed Clockwork recovery and then flashed the ROM, so far so good. Setting up the phone now. Nice job on the ROM, keep up the good work
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Its probably not signed correctly. you wont notice that since you use cwm
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
I'm sure that's the issue.
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
Just flashed the rom, then flashed gapps20110709 and finally flashed ezGB V1.5 kernel.

Before that I did a full wipe (also using ohsaka's superwipe).

Booting........

Entering pin et voila, just fine, so far no issues:)

Now I'm going to customize it a little bit with the android kitchen and flash again.
[G1 Android Development] Sik-1:
for some reason i cant download any google apps after installing that g-apps package, all other apps install fine except for anything google related
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Download new market from op
[G1 Android Development] flyers00:
Just wanted to say thanks for the rom,working great so far. Once I flashed clockwork recovery,everything installed fine. Keep up the good job and I look forward to the progress of the rom
[G1 Android Development] Sik-1:
Ok I found out the issue, its showing a low space error, maybe its bcuz its looking for an ext partition because I use the mtd script, seeing as tho u didn't build it in the rom, I had to install the mount to enable the extra space the system is looking for in the mtd script, due to the movement of the cache. I'm sure I'm missing something tho,

Steps taking:

1. Flash recovery Mtd 90 2

2. Flash rom

3. Flash gapps

4. Flash sd-ext patch

5. Flash kernel

6. Flash boot patch

Reboot and enjoy

Autokiller settings

What is the deference between Apps2SD and Apps2SDEXT? Which uses ext4?

I keep jumping back and forth between COS-DS and this ROM.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Reference:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=847891

Apps to ext tricks the os into thinking that a special ext partition on your sd card is your data partition. this way all app data goes to the sd card and saves your data partition completely.

pros:

all apps are compatible

no data space used on the data partition

the phone thinks its saving apps internally

Apps are very accessible for backup

cons:

you have to format and partition your sd card (this really isent hard and can be done in recovery)

if the sd card is pulled, mounted to the computer, or dies, you cannot access your apps.

you have to specify an exact amount of space on the sd card dedicated to apps that can no longer be used as storage space(unless you use linux I suppose... but it would be pointless to save stuff there besides apps)

apps rely on the speed of the sd (this usually isn't a problem though)

not all roms support it. (there are usually work arounds though)

Gingerbread apps to sd puts the bulk of the app onto the regular partition of your sd card (no special formatting required) but still saves data to the data partition.

pros:

saves space on the data partition

no special formatting is needed

is more secure for app developers

because you dont need the extra partition, you'll have more free sd card space.

cons:

still uses some space internally which isn't bad unless you have a crazy amount of apps or some very large data hogs.

if the sd card is pulled, mounted to the computer, or dies, you cannot access your apps.

apps rely on the speed of the sd (this usually isn't a problem though)

the internal memory is the fastest best place for apps, but if you need more space then by all means try one of the above methods

they both get the job done in their own way.
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
Would the apps and phone run faster if using the "apps to ext"? They are both Gingerbread ROMs. Just wondering if I should switch from COS-DS to this ROM. They both seem very stable. I also have a swap partition if that makes any deference.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
YES. It will
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
How do I setup "apps to ext"? The partition is already created but how do I make sure the ROM is using it?

Thanks, have done, surprised it's not in the Rom though...
[G1 Android Development] WiseJoeyD:
Went back to Cyanogen 6.1 image in the end.

Too much lag and hangs sadly. Lots to endear it, especially an improved browser, but just wouldn't work smoothly, no matter how much memory was free.

Which I guess confirms the thing we always knew; it's not memory, it's simply down to programming and hardware.

For comparison here were some of the Applications I had installed:

Facebook 1.6.4

Maps 4.7

EZ File Manager

Shazam

Whatsapp

Gmail

Huffington

Catch

Dropbox

Maybe peeps here aren't running as many as me, so are getting better performance. Hmm.

Anywho, back now to super fast/smoothness. Taken what I learned here about what can be uninstalled to shrink it down even more. Miss lots of options from 7.1 though. C'est la vie

I think it's normal. I always have it disappeared.

AFAIK a property can enable it. Add a line :

ro.ril.enable.dtm = 1

in either /system/build.prop or in a file you create : /data/local.prop. But your provider has to manage this feature.

From what I read, this property can be described as : "Boolean value when set to 1 allows ARFCN simultaneous transfer of Packet Switched (PS) and Circuit Switched (CS) data over the same radio channel"
