croniccorey,

you may want to update the stock cm7 font zip in the initial post, it's not correctly signed.

Here a proper version..

How can I tell how much free space is in system/app? I am trying to put SwiftKey as a system app.
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
you can downloiad ann app like system panel or run the "df" command from adb
[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
if you have a terminal emulator app you can type df from there

I think you may need to go to root level for all info

I find this rom quite qood, although there are few lags here and there, but still nice, thx cron...
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
From what I understand the next kernel update should help with some of that.

I am excited to see what the next build will be like.
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
Is there a github page for this project so I can follow how the development is going? How is the build going for the next version?
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
i have a github but i only have the kernels and scripts on there and i really wasent gona put the rom on there just because it would take up alot of my bandwidth here . as for the next build ot is in dev now i had to put a new psu in the compiler so i was down for a couple days

Flashing with AmonRa v1.7.0 didn't work

I tried to flash the CronMod-Dream ROM on my G1. I have the RamonRa v.1.7.0 on my phone, so the steps "format /boot" and "format /system" were not available in RamonRa's menu for the Dream (I know they are available on versions for other phones).

Currently my phone has this status:

HBOOT-1.33.0013D (DREA*****)

RADIO-2.22.27.08

Oct 21 2009,22:33:27

Model number: Gingerbread on Dream

Android version: 2.3.7

Baseband version: 62.50SF.20.17U_2.22.27.08

Kernel version: 2.6.36.4-ezgb-v1.5.2

ezterry@zack #1

Mod version: ezGingerbread-stable.v.1.0

Build number: full_saphire-userdebug 2.3.7

GINGERBREAD eng.

After "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache", "wipe davlik cache" and "wipe battery stats" I've flashed the ROM from the root of the SD card. The 16 GB SD card is partitioned with gparted in 128 MB swap, 1024 MB ext4 and the rest FAT32. After rebooting, the G1 screen stayed only for a few seconds, then a green screen for a second and a red one for another second. After that it changed to a blank screen but with some visible concentric shapes starting from rounded rectangles at the margins and ellipses toward the center. It stayed like that for ten minutes so I pulled off the battery. The same thing happened after the 2nd reboot. I've restored the nand backup to the older ezGingerbread ROM.

The phone is brand new, purchased from Hong Kong less than a week ago. It came with Android Astro and I rooted and flashed it with ezGingerbread after first trying a Cyanogen Froyo which didn't work.

Can I get some help please? How do I do the "format /boot" and the "format /system" from from AmonRa recovery? I've tried the commands from the console but they don't work. Did I do something else wrong?
[G1 Android Development] cwwilson721:
Flash Ohsaka-SuperWipe_v2.zip

This is about the EASIEST way to get all wiped.

Also, just in case, you MAY want to partition with Amon Ra's Recovery and update the ext partitions to ext 4, and make a swap, too. Just use the defaults, then upgrade the ext a couple of times (I know, gparted works, but sometimes there can be issues)
[G1 Android Development] alanPr:
Re: Flash Ohsaka-SuperWipe_v2.zip

Thank you for your help. I'll give it a try with Oshaka-SuperWipe utility. I'll partition with AmonRa when I get the new 16 GB Class 10 SD which I've ordered a few days ago. The current one is class 6.

I hope it works, because ezGingerbread worked fine after installing Autokiller Memory Optimizer, but slowed down very badly when I added about 32 apps. All the user apps (except Autokiller) are on the SD card (with Install Manager) but I still have only 22 MB free RAM and many times it takes 10-15 seconds just to display the home screen icons.

EDIT:

I've tried to flash the CronMod-Dream again using the Ohsaka-SuperWipe utility. Unfortunaely it didn't work! G1 screen stayed only two seconds and then it switched to a brighter screen then the first time. The concentric shapes where now very visible and it looked close to a cool animation suggesting the progress of the process. The darker ellipse in the center, with purple border became smaller and smaller and less visible. I waited 90 minutes but nothing, except the animation described above happened, while the phone became very warm.

I don't know if the SD card could be the problem. It works fine with the ezGingerbread ROM, but I don't use the ext4 and the swap partitions with this ROM. When I get the new class 10 SD card I'm going to partition it with Amon Ra recovery, as I've been advised here. Anybody has any other helpful ideas? Here's a picture of the G1 screen after flashing the CronMod-Dream:

[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
what recovery?
[G1 Android Development] Umpal:
Hi guys.

I have some info for those who stuck on boot logo "G1" as I did for many hours. This is what always works for me (I did many tries - all successful):

1. Go into recovery (in my case RA-dream-v1.6.2)

2. Flash CronMod-1.0.x-dream-rc_signed.zip (see post #1)

3. When it's done DO NOT reboot, just go to 'Wipe' option and do:

- Wipe data/factory reset

- Wipe Dalvik-cache

- Wipe SD:ext partition

4. Go back to main menu and flash anykernel-(2.6.36.4-ezgb-s3-v1.5.2)_signed.zip (see post #1)

5. When it's done choose 'Reboot system now'

6. When the system is loaded do not configure it - do a reboot and then you may play with your toy as you wish.

After 1 minute and 40 seconds you should see the boot animation logo.

Enjoy and buy me a beer if you see me :cool:
[G1 Android Development] cwwilson721:
OR DO WHAT IT SAYS:

WIPE ALL (I use Oshaka's SuperWipe)

Flash the ROM, flash the kernel, then reboot.

Never fails this way. And very simple.
[G1 Android Development] sb56637:
This looks interesting. Are there any flashable ZIPs of this available for the Dream? I saw that there is one for the MyTouch.

Thanks!​

Hello all,

My GSII decided it would break recently, and I decided my phone for the next 2 weeks will be the old G1 my brother's friend gave to him. I've flashed this on it before, but the phone was too slow for my impatient brother...but I'm much mroe forgiving when it comes to old tech :).

One question I have, the SD card partitioning, is it really faster to have a swap partition and move data to the SD card? I've read conflicting accounts...thanks!
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
yes swap is good in these phones due to low ram, and int2ext+ is pretty quick very little slow down if any on my g1 with it (its worth the space for apps :))
[G1 Android Development] sb56637:
And what about the impact of swap on SD card maximum write limitations? Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] luisakira2301:
Cool rom :)
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
hows the new kernel everyone?
[G1 Android Development] Ecuadude:
Its really stable so far, but on smartass2, it reboots more often when overclocked to 576. On interactivex its stable on 576 and no reboots. Overall it makes the g1 a lot smoother + ur rom is hellaa good :D:thumbup:
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
ya smarta*sV2 seems to ramp up alot faster and cause issues, they all need a bit of tuning, thanks for your feedback
[G1 Android Development] tagm:
Most Roms have issues with hanging after flashing. This one as well. Tried all solutions proposed in this thread.... superwipe, wipe after install, wiped before even different combinations

Nothing helps.

There are 2 roms I consistently can install and that is Ezterry's rom and Lazlo's

The rest of the bunch usually fails. I will probably do something wrong or have a G1 with a hardware issue.. Nevertheless why should the two roms install and work as good as they do and most of the other Roms fail? Different (not as complete) install script?
[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
lots of possiblities

don't wipe after install

check md5sums of the downloaded roms

make sure if you are using (or ever have used) cmtd everything is setup right

a bad recovery

don't meet the requirements in the op

I'm sure there are many other possiblities this is just off the top of my head

you can always pull a logcat to see where the problem is
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
what recovery do you use?

are you using cmtd?

what radio?

what spl?

what kernel?
[G1 Android Development] Neo2SHYAlien:
New kernel is good. I dont have any reboots (I use it 4h) but my clock is a bit lower 556mhz. With smartassV2 I think battery usage is really slow down. I use it with gingsence because I'm really disappointed from lasted cronmod. BTW can you enable and other I/O schedulers? Now I have available only noop and BFQ.
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
ill add deadline and maybe cfq in my next build

Really slow :(

Don't know why, but this ROM is running horrendously slowly :( I have tried compcache, JIT, swap, disabled surface dithering, animations, etc. but everything is just... slow. I love int2ext and the fonts and everything, but can someone give me some advice as to how to speed things up... other CM7 ROMs I've tried have been fine.
[G1 Android Development] cwwilson721:
I know what you mean. I've kept to 1.0.5 because *06 and *07 are WAY too slow in comparison.

Something happened between those builds that slowed this wonderful ROM to the speed of a 1983 computer. I can't open anything, text, make a Google call over WiFi.

Luckily, I've still got *05 on my backup on my computer, so I've got a speedy and useful ROM still.

I still try every updated ROM to see if there are any improvements, but, alas, no.
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
It's not just me then :o I thought I'd done something stupid. I don't suppose it's got anything to do with the new chaos kernel, or is it just the ROM?
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
i really cant understand why my 2708 dream is really fast, only rom experiencing lag is 32aNR because the kernel is still new for it.

i will do some testing when i can and try to track down the source of this issue that some are having
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Thanks!

Yeah, that'd be great :) . BTW I'm also 2078 radio. Didn't know that radio type affected performance :confused:
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
the extra ram does :)
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Oh yeah

haha, yeah, forgot about that :o .
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
Mine was slow till I disabled int2ext. I have also disabled animation. Using most current ROM and kernel. Smarta*v2 governor gives great speed and battery life.
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
what class is your SD?
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Thought int2ext might be a problem

I had a suspicion that int2ext could be a problem, but I don't know why it could be. I also tried disabling animations. which admittedly did help slightly. I tried most of the governors which didn't really improve much either.
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
I have a class 4 sd card. Problem didn't start till version 1.0.6 when it was changed from app2sd script to int2ext script. I have not tried int2ext on 1.0.7 because I am unsure if the problem still exists. With int2ext I was getting a slow phone and some apps became unstable.
[G1 Android Development] raven.warsong:
I got a g1 today and wanted to upgrade form cm5 this looks like a great rom and my hboot is supported

I flashed clockworks recovery 2.5.0.7 va rommanger that went well.

However I have tryed to flash this rom 2 times with no luck

I formatted every thing on how to install list but still not luck and the 2 time I flashed I let it run about 7 mins and it was just stuck on g1 tmobel screen never made it to spash screen.

hboot

1.33.2005

cpld-4

radio

2.22.23.02

should I be looking to update my hboot or radio. I fear doing that becuse there is a very small chance of brick. Thanks much
[G1 Android Development] cwwilson721:
Issues with 1.0.6+ found/confirmed

That's it, right there. With int2ext disabled in 1.0.6 and 1.0.7, the ROM works great, but I may as well run Donut with the small int storage. Switched back to 1.0.5, and the ROM screams along with the big storage.

Until/if this ROM goes back, I'll stick with the stable 1.0.5, instead of a choice between stable and no memory, or slow and buggy/unstable with memory.

1.0.5 is THE way to go for those of us who can't use int2ext.

I have the zip here, but can't upload it. Ideas?
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
its the sd class

when you install dont use int2ext instead in the OP under extras click scripts thread and use a2sd+
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
upgrade to hboot "1.33.0013d" and radio "2.22.28.25"

get it from the 2708 thread, as long as your careful and do it from fastboot you wont brick
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
How does one install the a2sd script? What if my apps are already installed?
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
if your not running int2ext then just flash it and it will move your apps

if you are running int2ext then backup apps wipe and reinstall
[G1 Android Development] cwwilson721:
How to flash the 1.0.6+ ROM if you can't afford a real fast SDCard:

Nandroid backup

Download the A2SD+ script from the OP

Wipe/Superwipe the phone

Flash the rom, and answer "No" to the int2ext install

Flash the kernel

Flash fonts/boot animation/whatever.

Boot the phone.

After the ruckus has died down, reboot to Recovery

Flash the A2SD+ script

Boot the phone

After the phone boots, reboot to recovery (Yes, again), and restore your apps

Done

Or, as a easier alternative, CronicCorey maybe put in a choice for int2ext or a2sd in the setup script?
[G1 Android Development] cwwilson721:
After a few days of 1.0.7 and A2SD+, phone still seems stable and fast as 1.0.5

Seems the Chaos kernel speeds it up enough to negate the slower sdcard, and all is good.
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
Do all the files now have proper signatures? I know the CM7 fonts didn't for a while. I would like to go back to RA recovery. Does anyone have the super wipe zip? I can't seem to be able to find it.
[G1 Android Development] sb56637:
My quick review of 1.0.7

Hi, thanks a lot for CronMod. It's been my daily driver for quite awhile now, and I love it. I've been on 1.0.7 for less than a week now. Here are my findings:

What I Like

As always, love the options at installation

Feels considerably faster than 1.0.5! Faster app launches, better responsiveness, less slowdown over time

So far, A2SD+ works fine for me with a class 4 SD card

Stable as always

Obviously very meticulously designed under the hood with no cheap hacks. Very professional development.

What I Don't Like

USB bug with the Chaos kernel -- If the phone is booted up while plugged in and then disconnected, battery drain is extremely high, about 15% per hour in standby with just the phone radio enabled. This is a known bug in many kernel for the G1. They managed to fix it with patches over here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22492890#post22492890. Unfortunately I couldn't get any of the Pershoot kernels to boot on CronMod 1.0.7. I'm not sure why, I was using Pershoot with CronMod 1.0.5.

There is no way to launch the Google Play store. I had to download an APK from XDA and install it with ES Explorer.

I personally hate the default fonts, they look considerably more blurry and jagged, and I hate the shapes in general. Maybe that's just me. I love the default CM fonts, thanks a lot for offering them in the OP.

I don't think either of the default launchers are good options for an old, slow phone like the G1. I would recommend the Zeam launcher, which offers all the important features of ADW, with blazing speed and extremely small footprint.

I would like the option to have BOTH file managers. The simple OI File manager is usually best for most simple tasks, whereas the ES Explorer, while much slower, is necessary for root file management.

I think that QuickPic is the best option for a gallery. The Android 3D gallery is too slow, and the Android 2D gallery has very few features and a lot of annoyances. QuickPic is full of features and fast on the G1.

That's about all. Thanks again for CronMod!

so i flashed it as per instruction and it was stuck on the G1 screen for a while and then booted back to recovery :crying:
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Worked fine for me

That's weird, My G1 has the same spec ( 2.22.27.08 radio, 1.33.0013d etc.) and it worked fine. I flashed the Chaos kernel as well though, don't know if this could be why :confused: try it anyway, it's good :)
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
Has the cm7 font file been updated with a signature?
[G1 Android Development] cwwilson721:
No. But then, again, I use the CWM Recovery.

To get around the odd default font when using AmonRA, I use Absolute System Root Tool. I usually install the Ubuntu font. The app also lets you change the bootanimation.zip, and edit many things.

It's usually the first thing I install on a fresh ROM burn
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
You could just remove the files from the zip, locate to /system/fonts and replace them with the right permissions, etc. That's what I do.
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
How do I get the permissions correct in the fonts folder?

Over right /system/fonts with the CM7 fonts and then run Fix_permissions?

Or is there a way to do it from the Terminal on a computer?
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
I figured out how to do it from the terminal using adb.

to move the font over adb push DroidSans-Bold.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf to all three files.

To change the file permissions use chmod 644 DroidSans-Bold.ttf

Forum post where I found out how to push over the fonts can be found here.

Or you can copy the files over to /system/fonts and then change the permissions with chmod 644. Permissions have to be changed or the phone will get stuck on the green T-Mobile screen.

A week with 1.0.7

...Been running 1.0.7 for a week with the added a2sd script, and Chaos kernel.

Not fast enough, not stable enough.

Went back to 1.0.5, and was still irritated by the default bootanimation, and fonts.

So, I used the Rom Kitchen, replaced those with stuff I like, plus modded the script to install what I want, and nothing I don't (No need for DSP Manager, for instance). Flashed it with the gb kernel, and VERY happy.

Down to 2 files to flash, and with 1.0.5, I'm back to :

Fast

Roomy

Stable

I'll keep trying new roms as these are updated, but (in my experience, with my hardware), it's gone slow, buggy, and way too unstable for a daily driver.

All of the above is my own experience. You may find the newest version works fine.
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
I would like to see a option to replace the default SMS with a different SMS app like Handcent SMS or Pansi SMS. I tried moving it to system/app using ES File Manager and Systemcleanup and then the app no longer works. The permissions where correct for the app I did check into that.

I am now using Pansi SMS as it's a small app and I like the popup sms windows that i can reply in that doesn't exist in the default sms.
[G1 Android Development] dayofthedaleks:
Digging on 1.0.7

Thanks for this ROM.

I'm running the Chaos kernel with swap on SD and it seems very smooth, very stable. Memory management seems good, I'm not seeing many processes dying.

I tried running INT2EXT and even with a Class 10 SDcard (yes I know the Dream can only push Class 6 speeds) it was more sluggish than I could deal with. I installed the A2SD script this morning and it seems to have bought me 20MB of internal storage without slowing things down much. I'm hesitant to try A2SD+ or A2SD++ because I suspect going to SD for DATA and the Dalvik cache would slow things down as much as INT2EXT. I see INT2EXT+ is supposed to be faster because it leaves DATA on the internal partition, and maybe if I'm feeling adventurous I'll try running that.

I have noticed one odd behavior - when I set the screen to maximum brightness, something's greying out the screen. One notch short of maximum, plenty bright. Brightest setting, grey. This also means that the Flashlight setting in Power Widget is useless.

I can't really speak to whether or not I'm seeing the USB power drain kernel bug. Since I'm running an animated NOAA radar live wallpaper that updates every 10 minutes I'm hammering my extended battery pretty hard no matter what.

All in all, I'm digging it. Kudos to croniccorey!
