[G1 Android Development] tass0s:
so you're saying that your newest cm7 build should have been slower than the previous one? because that's what confuses me here:confused::confused:
[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
I think the point that is being made is that not all new versions will be an improvment/upgrade regarding speed

a new update may be newer but not faster, may have more speed or less, more fetures or less features.

when an update is built it usualy takes speed as a main consideration as most people will take a faster phone over more features but thisnt always the case

if you see a new build just do a nandroid, flash the new one, if you don't like it for whatever reason flash back. but always make sure to thank the devs for their hard work even if you don't like it and if possible give some feedback and on your findings in hopes to improve the next build...

now are we all understanding?

Gapps link not working

I'm assuming the gapps are kinda necessary, but the link isn't working :( Is there an alternate zip I can flash?

Really wanna try this, hate being stuck on CM6, but don't want to risk anything... I reckon not flashing gapps is a risk? Also, don't I need to wipe everything, eg. using flashable superwipe zip, and (a bit of a noob q, I know :o ) but when flashing a new ROM, is the SD card formatted? This is more a precaution 'cause I'm sure that the sd card is safe....
[G1 Android Development] Infinimint:
Go to http://goo.im there they have gapps for all devices and android versions. You don't have to flash them if you do not want to, you just won't have the market until you do.

When you flash a Rom, you must wipe your phone first, this will remove all existing apps and personal data from the phone, not the sdcard. Anything on the sdcard is safe. If you want to back everything up, I suggest using MyBackup Root available in the market to do so.

Once done, flash the Rom. Then if you want to, flash gapps. Then redownload MyBackup Root and restore your backups.

Best of luck :)

Not at all, what he is saying is this:

Some updates fix things, others break things. Some make it faster, others make it slower. It all depends.
[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
do a nandroid backup via recovery before you wipe, this way if you are unhappy with your new rom, fully wipe, restore backup, you will now have everything the same as it were before you changed roms
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Thanks, and I'll need it!

Thanks for the help, I'm new to flashing ROMs (as is probably obvious, someone more experienced flashed CM6.1 for me).

*SOLVEDish* Sorry, I've got one last question :o : Will I need to flash a new kernel, and if so, will I need to flash it before or after flashing the ROM? I take it the latest kernel from ezterry (ezBiffTestKernel20110222-2708_S.zip) would be OK for this (I'm 2078 or 2825 radio, 1.33.0013 spl), this kernel works fine for me with Froyo, but would it be OK for CM7? *EDIT* OK, so dev recommends latests ezterry which I do believe is the one I mentioned... sorry for being unobservant

Regarding the gapps, is it OK to go into the sip file and remove apps I don't want/ need, as I assume these will be installed to /system where I will then be unable to uninstall them?

Sorry for all the Qs BTW :o

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

Cool, I thought nandroids would become redundant if you had a new ROM. Thanks from the help from everyone BTW, I think I'm ready to go :)
[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
this rom comes with a kernel that works fine, if you want a diffrent one feel free to flash it but the one you linked to is not the latest kernel rather a kernel to get an older rom working on the .13d spl. so for now stick with the kernel packaged with the rom

as for apps, if you unzip the rom and remove some you will need to rezip and sign it to flash through recovery, or if you recovery supports it toggle off the signed zip check

but you may find it easier to just remove the system apps with something like titanium backup or root explorer (yes these apps will remove system apps on a rooted phone)

as for nandroids I recommened making one before leaving any rom (you can move them to pc if you lack space on sd) think of them as a restore point. if things aren't going right just wipe and restore. or if you flash a lot of roms and won't to go back to a previous one you can restore. this way you don't have to resetup everything the way you like it again
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
This rom has a working kernel in it? I did not know that... I always flash ezterry's ezgb kernel
[G1 Android Development] Cobra281:
same here, i thought the ezgb kernel was required to flash with this ROM. this small update seems to be making it run faster than before the update was done.

goodness, i forgot how slow the G1 is...
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Yay! I am now running CM7!

After a fail (the G1 splash screen kept rebooting) I superwiped, but the 2nd time I tried I flashed a new kernel as well... this seemed to prove successful. Thanks for everyone's help BTW, stoked to be running Gingerbread :laugh:
[G1 Android Development] tass0s:

32A device on old radio here.
[G1 Android Development] josh2020glacier:

[G1 Android Development] tass0s:

changes:

removed spl check. users of danger spl (you should upgrade already) and 32a users should now have a much easier tome using this rom. just flash the rom then ezterrys ezgb kernel.
[G1 Android Development] tass0s:
whoa, is this even newer build? filename indicates 15/8 and the one in the OP is 20/7
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
yes. the only real change is removal of the spl check. other than that i don't think cm changed anything. so it should be nearly identical to the previous one.

this is also my last pure cm7 build. i'm going to start working on my own customized cm7 rom. almost done with a test build

Play store force closing

I have the latest version of this ROM....

I recently tried tvall's CM9, but that didn't really work out so I tried to restore my nandroid, but that didn't work either, so I had to reflash the ROM. Turns out that I could restore the data image of my backup, which I did, and everything works fine.. apart from the Play Store. :( Upon opening, at the best of times it will come up with a loading screen then say that process com.android.vending had FCed and at the worst of times will come up with a grey screen and show the FC message. It's version 3.7.13 BTW.

I don't think the problem has anything to do with what I just described though.

I am running V6 Supercharger, Kick Ass Kernelizer, comcache at 18%, I have tried a range of VM heaps of 16Mb to 32Mb (It's worked fine in the past with 24Mb), I've used SD Maid to clear corpse files and do a system clean, and I have done the obvious which is to wipe the Play Store's data. I have also tried removing the apk file from /system (Terminal emulator: rm /system/app/Vending.apk ) which worked, but it still thought it was installed (in manage apps it's still listed but with an sd card icon), when I tried to install again (using apk file) it said it would be replaced, so I rebooted and tried again. This time it decided it was a fresh install (not replacing anything) and installed fine. I assume it is now in /datat/app . Still FCs though, recleared data again.

Please can someone help, I will edit this post if I forgot anything.
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Did you remove custom mtd or re flash your recovery before trying to switch back from cm9? Not doing that can cause lots of issues.
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
I don't know how you remove custom mtd, but when I reflashed the ROM I set system to 90 and cache to 5 (mtd 90 5). I used CWM all the way. You say it can cause lot's of issues, but the Play Store is th only app I have trouble with. I restored data for it with MyBackup Root, this appeared to help for a bit (I could use it without FCs whilst the network was off) but as soon as it tried to connect to the internet it would FC.

I have run a fix permissions script as well, and updated to 3.8.15
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Well... I'd suggest wiping data and cache and seeing if it works
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Done a fresh install

I have fully wiped and done a completely fresh install, and still the problem occurs. This also brings me onto how to disable swap, as it appears I still have it turned on even through the new install. I can't find the swap file though. ***I'm an idiot, ignore that, the info on swap when using the "free" command in terminal shows compcache as well :o n0oB mistake***

This time my mtd partitions were 87 and 3.

Oh yeah, when you say to wipe data and cache do you mean just for the Play Store or for the whole phone (from recovery)?
[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
you can start fresh by just flashing the remove cmtd, or even reflashing amonra, then wipe all/fastboot -w/superwipe, reflash rom, and you should be good
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Why would custom mtd be a problem? And why would removing it help? As I said I have already tried doing a full wipe (with Ohsaka superwipe) and reflashing the ROM, but I did use custom mtd partitions again (mtd 87 3)
[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
cmtd has caused problems for me in the past sometimes. usualy I try a rom without it, so I know what is working. then I do usualy use cmtd, even though firerat says anything more than 2 for cache is overkill, sometimes I find I need more like 5, even though I bind mount cache. I'm no expert in custom mtd partitions but when things aren't working as they should, I wipe all, make sure I have no cmtd, then flash the rom.

usualy if I don't, I have problems with the market. and I have used cmtd with this rom before with no issue so I can't say for sure.
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Thanks for the help

What steps do I need to go through to remove custom mtd? Is it simply a case of flashing the FR-remove zip, or do I need to nand restore / reflash, etc.

Do I have to remove it, or can I just increase my cache partition, and would I need more than 10Mb?
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
I really am stumped

I have flashed the remove mtd zip, and I restored my nand backup but the problem still persists. I am absolutely stumped, and it definitely worked 'cause I checked and I have 90Mb of user space again like before.

The strange thing I have noticed is that it only force closes when I have an internet connection (I am using wifi), but it works fine without a connection. Should I try a fresh install?
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Try a fresh install. What gapps are you using?
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Still no luck :(

Did a fresh install after removing custom mtd, still the problem occurs :eek:

I got the gapps from here, followed the "CyanogenMod 7.1-2.x | 2.3.5-7" link to http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip ("20110828 (Google Talk with Video Chat Add-On)")

I will try and install the Play Store, but I doubt it will help :(
[G1 Android Development] kanttii:
Well.

Have you tried to just reflash recovery before ROM?
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
No....

Do I actually need to flash the recovery image or can I use ROM Manager to flash it, then flash the ROM?
[G1 Android Development] :
You can use rom manager to flash it.

Does this happen with other roms? tvall recently released another cm7 rom. You should try that.
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Not tried many other ROMs

The only other ROMs I have used are the official CM6.1 and (obviously as this caused the problem) I have tried CM9, I didn't use CM9 for long enough to do any proper usage tests as the G1 is my main phone but CM6 never gave me any problems, although I didn't use custom MTD.

I think I will try tvall's cm7, is it stable yet?
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
My cm7 is this + some features. It's as stable, if not more stable, than this.
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
I'll give it a go

Great! I'll try it right away :)

I won't risk using custom mtd, but doubt I'll need it either.
[G1 Android Development] frankdrey:
This ROM is very naice :3

Id like a swap option, though:P

Manually enabling swap is a PITA
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Use firerat's script

Assuming you've partitioned your sd card, I would use Firerat's all in one script, and swap worked good for me with CM7. It's tested/ made for CM5/ 6, and I haven't tried anything other than the swap script but as I said it worked fine for me.

There are also apps that can enable swap, although I have never used one.
[G1 Android Development] frankdrey:
Eh, I could write my own script for that. I've done it before.

Id just like to have the option in the actuall Settings.

Well having come from the forum CMx comes from I can tell you its not a joke

It's used because the devs have taken gingerbread to a whole new level by backporting from ICS and JB, and also creating their own mods

As an example; they backported the new PA Pie control from 4.2 to 2.3

2.3.8 is to symbolise the next step in gingerbread evolution :)

One day I'll finally get around to building it for D/S, I built it for my DHD and its still as awesome as ever!
