Yesterday, I flashed the last nightly (Evervolv-perdo-3.0.0-passion-nightly-20121008.zip) and I'm very impressed, it's smooth and seems stable. Unfortunately I'm still having data issues when I am going to work by train. 3G still becames suspended or disconnected and never come back.

The full radio logcat is attatched to this post.

It's a very annoying issue... Could be related to roaming mode that needs my carrier?
[Nexus One Android Development] BlinK_:
I get that with this rom and with CM 7.2. Workaround is turning airplane mode on and off.
[Nexus One Android Development] jolinnard:
Thanks, but it doesn't work all the times... Maybe one, but not always. This is what I tried:

- Turning data off/on

- Turning radio off (in hidden Testing menu) and on

- Switching to another APN (my carrier has 2 different setups)

- Force to 2G only (or another mode in Testing menu: WCDMA only, GSM only, etc)

- Airplane mode

Only a reboot works.

Edit: A hot reboot seems to work too...

Hey Drew

I used the file explorer process to use extgapps and it seems to have worked successfully, but I dont see a reduction in the system partition. I assume I am doing something incorrectly. What am I missing?

And where did the JB gallery go....this one does not have the new features. It seems it is a ICS one.
[Nexus One Android Development] kaiser_tytnii:
P6 is much smoother than P5, thanks a lot! just the camera app is quite annoying but no biggies!
[Nexus One Android Development] twistedsixty4:
so when i list the items in /sd-ext/gapps/ all i have is system.. so somehow im not making the .extgapps file..

____________________

so i changed some of your steps, i have the ability to add a google account now, but all gapps are crashing continually..

ok so here is what im seeing, m2sd some how breaks it.. when i push the system folder it breaks m2sd i suddenly am on internal nand, when i flash the m2sd script it breaks gapps..
[Nexus One Android Development] Smartphonz:
EXT Gapps

I used the explorer process as well for the extgapps and I didn't see any reduction in the system partition either. I more than likely am doing something wrong though. I don't run any type of A2SD, so I can't associate it with that. The only thing that I could think of is maybe it's because I use CWM as my recovery. I heard that once you do a factory wipe with that specific recovery that it re-formats and/or somehow screws the partition on the SD card. I set up a ext 4 partition on my SD card and things seemed to be going well (better than now that is). I pulled out the old card reader after trying the explorer process and saw the partition with the program mini tool partition wizard but it was labeled as EXT 2 and not EXT 4 like I had named it previously. I don't know if that makes any difference, just an observation. What is the best recovery to run for our particular phones other that CWM? Any advice that doesn't include giving up or ADB for a fix would be much appreciated! Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] ctfrommn:
4ext or TWRP
[Nexus One Android Development] Smartphonz:
Thanks for the info.
[Nexus One Android Development] texasice:
I updated the 3rd post to say that m2sd breaks the extgapps and Also extgapps is an alternative to flashing gapps. it does not move anything from /system. It just creates symlinks on /system for the gapps so you can use a smaller system partition and have more space on /data. So if you already have gapps installed it wont change anything

@twistedsixty4: without the .extgapps in /sd-ext/gapps the init script wont run, its how you enable/disable it

ps: 4.1.2 should be ready for next nightly 10/10
[Nexus One Android Development] ctfrommn:
I did as instructed as far as installing gapps manually and they didnt install, so then I installed them via recovery. I didnt install m2sd as I wanted to try this, but no luck getting it to work.

extgapps and reverse mount with m2sd

The external gapps method doesn't work if you have selected the rmount option in m2sd. Is the any possibility to have the instrucition to make it work added to the third post?

Thank you

Keep up the good work! :)
[Nexus One Android Development] alocyber:
4.1.2

Flashed latest nightly, with new notifications that can expand with just one finger...

And I didn't even have to flash the gapps, thanks to ext-gapps!

Very nice work!

What does the 'partially working camcorder' exactly mean in the changelog of the latest release?
[Nexus One Android Development] sergio_7rc:
The rom work fine, great work, but the calendar doesn't sync.

I tired with gapps' bexton 8/16 and 9/2 version. Anybody has the same issue?
[Nexus One Android Development] thrik:
Is anyone still having data connectivity issues? I'm thinking about switching back to this ROM after a loong hiatus (been on Froyo lol).
[Nexus One Android Development] jolinnard:
A few post back I posted my lastest logcat about that. Yesterday I lost data connectivity going to the office with p6.

When I was at home or in the office data connectivity is fine all the time.
[Nexus One Android Development] thrik:
I think it was your post that I had previously seen. So it's just when you move around that you lose connectivity right?
[Nexus One Android Development] mycnam:
This is my version of the gapps, without offline dictation, based on the Nexus 7 JZO64K 4.1.2 OTA:

gapps-cnam-jb-20121010.zip

It removes the AOSP Calendar.apk and replaces with CalendarGoogle.apk. At least it works for me.
[Nexus One Android Development] twistedsixty4:
I just tried this last night, just flashing gapps normally and I've got the same problem. I have Gmail and Calender, I can sync to google too, but nothing else writes. Not even play store. I think it might be the new partition.

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

I had this problem with a previous build.. try removing you Google account, the wiping cache.. that worked for me.
[Nexus One Android Development] thrik:
I have never found GPS to work recently, I don't know why. This is why I switched back to Froyo for a while :)

Using Bootmanager with CM6 works fine if you don't want to jump through too many hoops.
[Nexus One Android Development] sergio_7rc:
Still not working

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

Still not working...
[Nexus One Android Development] jolinnard:
Yes. It seems that happens when I'm going by train, it crosses a large area where there aren't mobile signal. Is this your case? When I am driving through my city it works fine...
[Nexus One Android Development] thrik:
I've been fiddling around with external gapps all day, I haven't been able to get it to work... so I haven't tested data yet. I'll report back here if I have any issues with it.
[Nexus One Android Development] ctfrommn:
All day on yesterdays nightly I had ZERO data issues when starting anything that used GPS, which is the only thing that ever caused issues. I was so very happy.....and now todays nightly is doing it again, no idea if something in the build change caused it or I was just very fortunate yesterday.....I didnt save a backup of it and am not going to reflash it to find out.
[Nexus One Android Development] texasice:
people with gsm problems try this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32533351&postcount=2045
[Nexus One Android Development] thrik:
Didn't work, at least when I tried loading Maps. That was what usually made me lose connection before, I think it's when it loads the GPS. Thanks though :)

edit: Even though it lost connection, I didn't have to put it on airplane mode or reboot to get connection back... it just reconnected on its own. So better than before?
[Nexus One Android Development] TheAceOfHearts:
Hey Texasice! I've been using this rom for a longass time, and it's great!

I'm not sure if this is the right place, or if it's even okay to ask.. But do you think you'll ever add back the Hide Voicemail Notifications switch in the Phone app? I have persistent voicemail notifications that NEVER go away. In the older versions of Evervolv it was available, but on the JB jump it was no longer there (hasn't been ported over, maybe?).

Thanks a lot for a great ROM!
[Nexus One Android Development] sergio_7rc:
I've an issue, the mobile get reboot suddenly and then I have to wipe and install the rom again because the rom don't working. Anyone has this issue?
[Nexus One Android Development] :
+1

I couldn't agree more, now the Nexus One is back to live :o
[Nexus One Android Development] thrik:
I have that issue too. I think it's related to the external gapps, are you on that? I think it has to has something to do with the sdcard being overtaxed... but I'm no dev, that's just a guess.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
I've no problems with extgapps, working like a charme for the last couple of days, incl. the daily nightlies udpates ...
[Nexus One Android Development] thrik:
Bad guess on my part then :) you don't get random reboots?
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Yep, no random reboots 'til now :)
[Nexus One Android Development] sergio_7rc:
I haven't external gapps. My gapps are Bexton 9/2 version.
[Nexus One Android Development] twistedsixty4:
Then I suggest next time you GI to flash a new nightly make a backup with titanium and wipe everything including userdata
[Nexus One Android Development] jolinnard:
Ok, thank you. I'll try it. I've 2 APN right now, one with the string "default,supl" and the other one empty. I edit both and put just default.
[Nexus One Android Development] thetwice:
It actually works with m2sd. You just have to AVOID selecting the reverse mount option...

Using it with m2sd on my device right now and works like a charm :p
[Nexus One Android Development] BloodBaron:
think most people were using r-mount/m2sd for speed, how is it with r-mount unchecked, speed wise?
[Nexus One Android Development] Smartphonz:
SD re-format

Ever since I tried the root explorer way to ExtGapps I haven't been able to add more than like two apps without running out of space. I think the complete wipe in combination with using CWM maybe had something to do with it. I had more space before without having to use A2SD or M2SD. I am going to re-format my SD. I wanted to know ask if someone could recommend the best way to set it up for use with this rom. I have a class 10, 16G Sandisk SD card. I would like to know how many partitions, the type and sizes. Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] thetwice:
It feels speedy, but i can't compare it with the rmount oprion 'cause I never used it.

And right now I can't enable it or I'd lose the gapps.
[Nexus One Android Development] texasice:
yea i ported that from gingerbread for ics because i had the same problem. but i changed my plan and it went away. ill add it back for you.
[Nexus One Android Development] twistedsixty4:
gapps

so im still having issues with gapps now.. at most i can get 2-3 apps of the whole package recognized. i've tried several different things, the attached logcat is m2sd with r-mount disabed.

im also getting weird permissions on my sd-ext.. i tried to shell list its components and i get nothing listed, but then i try to mkdir and it tells me sd-ext is read only..

________________________________

update 1:

ok if i just try to flash gapps on the old partition (260mb), no m2sd enabled..

then i get gmail, calender, now, maps, and play music, but no play store..

________________________________

update 2:

alright i tried it again, and it worked this time, i wiped everything flashed the new partition, flash system.img then boot.img

i then booted and pushed gapps to sd-ext and make the .extgapps file..

i rebooted and i had everything working.

weird thing is i tried this before (sans full wipe)

Data drop issue and fix

I was having issue on Tmobile USA where on this Rom my phone will drop data connection then atleast take 5 minutes to get back to connection.

I was reading on other threads and found that at-least reducing the number of apns to the one you need in following file

system/etc/apns-conf

helps reconnecting fast.

So this is what I did :

Removed all apns in this file and added only what I needed for US-Tmobile.

-<apns version="7">

<apn type="default,supl,mms" mmsc="http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc" server="*" password="none" user="none" apn="epc.tmobile.com" mnc="260" mcc="310" carrier="T-Mobile US"/><apn type="default,supl,mms" mmsc="http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc" server="*" password="none" user="none" apn="epc.tmobile.com" mnc="250" mcc="310" carrier="T-Mobile US"/><apn type="default,supl,mms" mmsc="http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc" server="*" password="none" user="none" apn="epc.tmobile.com" mnc="200" mcc="310" carrier="T-Mobile US"/>

</apns>

saved file and made sure I had permissions 644

Reboot in recovery and cleared cache and dalvik cache.

after phone started up again i went into

System Settings > Wireless and Networks > More > Mobile Networks >Access Point Names

select any other shown access point other then you need click settings select delete and in the end only leave what you just need.

Now select only left APN.

press home you are done.
[Nexus One Android Development] eXDee:
Hey N1 crew - Could someone give a summary on the status of the camera? I know development on this has been a bit shaky, but im unsure what level of issues im going to see, eg

1) app crashes rarely

2) app crashes often

3) rare system reboots

4) often system reboots

4) missing functionality (eg video, flash)

I used ICS back in january with a dodgy camera app that would force close at times and very rarely cause random reboots, but it only happened 1/5 times using it was worth it. This was when the camera libs were first being ported to ICS.

Just wondering how things are for JB.
[Nexus One Android Development] finkbg:
I also cannot get playstore installed. Any ideas? I tried with m2sd and without m2sd, everything else is there except for playstore. Latest nightly 2012.10.11

One thing that bothers me about this rom is that I get a kernel bug followed by a reboot when trying to open chrome from the dock. It doesn't happen when opening it from the app drawer. Here is the last_kmsg, if it helps:

Despite that, I've been using 11/10 nightly and it is great and snappy. Thanks, texasice. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] mycnam:
I also got a reboot if I put Google Voice into the shortcut bar in homescreen. Launch from desktop or app drawer was no problem.
[Nexus One Android Development] BartAfterDark:
Ext2 doesn't use journal, but I think drew disabled journal for ext3 and 4 on the latest builds.

Ext2 still seems a bit faster for me though.

Ctfrom, just because 4 is a higher number than 2, doesn't mean it's better for a2sd.

Here's some info: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=800353
[Nexus One Android Development] mycnam:
The sdcard apps and JB asec mounts are using ext4, by the way.
[Nexus One Android Development] texasice:
current nightlies auto disable journaling and mount with options 'data=writeback,nobh,noatime,nodiratime,noauto_da_alloc' which supposedly provide good performace while helping reduce unnecessary wear. so i see no benefit to switching to ext2.

http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt

edit: also the kernel forces ext2/3 to be mounted as ext4 sans unsupported features
[Nexus One Android Development] twistedsixty4:
i remember seeing it, but i cant find the post right now, is anyone else seeing hard reboots if the try to launch google voice from the dock? its repeatable but launches fine from the app drawer.. I'll grab a logcat later, i have to get to church right now.
[Nexus One Android Development] m2xtreme:
I haven't been able to get external gapps to work. Has anyone else been succcessful with this? I boot into recovery and follow the ADB instructions to the letter but upon reboot I don't see the typical gapps prompt or any gapps installed. I suspect the SD card is okay since I'm able to use m2sd as a test (I do a complete wipe of the nand/sdcard and reinstall each time before attempting external gapps to be safe). For some reason the gapps folder isn't remaining after booting into the rom. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] mycnam:
Yes it hard reboots if I try to launch google voice from the dock...
[Nexus One Android Development] m2xtreme:
Thanks twistedsixty4, I've been following your instructions but I'm getting stuck where I run "adb shell mkdir /sd-ext/gapps". I get the error:

mkdir: can't create directory '/sd-ext/gapps': Read-only file system

This is where I was geting caught up before so I tried doing this from recovery. Your instructions sound like I need to do this while booted in the ROM though. So I need to remount sd-ext as rw? Now how do I do that... I'll ask the internet! Brb :D

UPDATE:

I remembered a2sd could fix this, so I ran

a2sd formatext

and I was able to reboot and make the directory without issue. I'll report back soon...

UPDATE2:

Your command to check this should read " adb shell ls /sd-ext/gapps/system/app "; you accidentally included an " s " at the end!

UPDATE3:

Everything seems to be working fine now. I haven't finished restoring all my apps yet but I don't imagine it will be an issue. Thanks again for your help twistedsixty4!

In summary, my pitfalls were:

1) trying to run the adb commands from recovery (ext gapps must be done while booted in the ROM!).

2) sd-ext being mounted as read-only (running a2sd formatext and rebooting fixed this).

texasice, perhaps you can update your instructions to include these points. It may save someone else a headache. Thanks again to everyone for your efforts, my N1 has never felt so new!
[Nexus One Android Development] twistedsixty4:
i was having the same issue, where ext was saying i couldnt write.. what i had to do was repartition my sd card this seemed to fix it.. also it will probly work better with the system actually booted, atleast it did for me. or try running

adb shell

then the other commands without the extra adb shell prefix (this works since adb shell command put you in the android device's terminal)
[Nexus One Android Development] twistedsixty4:
hey @texasice,

heres the code from my logcat when launching google voice from the dock causes a restart

I/ActivityManager( 1207): START {cmp=com.google.android.apps.googlevoice/.activity.conversationlist.ConversationListActivity (has extras) u=0} from pid 11086

W/InputConnectionWrapper.ICC( 1375): Timed out waiting on IInputContextCallback

W/ActivityManager( 1207): Activity destroy timeout for ActivityRecord{42660fe0 com.android.mms/.ui.ComposeMessageActivity}

W/InputConnectionWrapper.ICC( 1375): Timed out waiting on IInputContextCallback

now this doesnt happen everytime, in my logcat that i've attached there should be an instance when i launched gvoice from the dock and it work fine, but after i killed the task and tried it again it froze and restarted.. look right near the end to see the working process.

Can we use this new gapps? http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps#20121011

I'm not sure if it has to be specially modded for the N1 :)

If it does need to be remodded, I trust that it will come in time, but how would we flash this for external gapps? Could we just flash over the last external gapps?

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] twistedsixty4:
You need to use one that is designed for evervolv plus the apps that go to /system are the only apps that move to sd-ext and those are mostly services not apps (with the exception of play and Google now) meaning they dont need that many updates..

Ive noticed that the kernel version changes with each nightly now. Are there actual differences in each or is this just changing with the build name now?

Latest nightly seems to have fixed data connection woes....using apps that need gps are no longer dropping connection. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] texasice:
ATTN fastboot users.

I have replaced the tarball with a system update zip. This will allow flashing in fewer steps.

new usage:

fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot update Evervolv-perdo-3.1.0-passion-nightly-20121015-fastboot-update.zip

if you want to flash them separate you cant still extract the system/boot images from the zip.
[Nexus One Android Development] thrik:
Doesn't seem to be the case for me... if anything, it seems to have gotten worse. But I'm glad it's working for someone, hopefully my case is just the odd one.
[Nexus One Android Development] texasice:
i just gets built everyday (mainly so we dont end up with a 1GB device repo like google cause we are pushing an new kernel with every little update) it will be different if there are changes in kernel/htc/qsd8k in the changelog
