Question on uninstalling apps w/ apps to sd 2 app w/ dudes build!!!!

If we uninstall an app say with appmanager does that uninstall the app off of the ext2 partition? :confused: Or do I have to go into the terminal and do it that way and if so how do I do that? Just wondering :confused: if anyone knows? \

Thanks Kevin :)

Removing a file from the union would result in the file being removed from all r/w layers up to the first r/o layer; if there is a r/o layer, then a whiteout file is placed in the last r/w layer to mask the file. Both layers are r/w in the union, so the file would be removed from all layers.
[G1 Android Development] limakev123:
:confused:

I think I got that :confused: I do not know what r/o r/w layers are?? When i do uninstall an app it gone and my memory goes up so it must be uninstalling it!!! Thanks for the reply though!!!!

r/o = read only r/w = read write :)

Originally i wasn't too sure about manups theme as i normally like really contrasting colours in my icons.... but after using it for a few days i think it rocks!! Hope he doesn't mind but i also ported it over to dxtop (changed the tab handles so blue is normal and grey is pressed) so i can use it ALL the time and in full!

As for appstosd. there is a post by marcus on page 100 ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3771060&postcount=2992 ) saying to swap the script he has written into the bin folder instead of the older one Dude has in there. I was having issues with my apps to sd until i did what he said- didn't have to reformat ext2 or anything. Just:

rebooted to recovery

AltW

AltS (1.1a)

once it boots up and installs all apps then i run the commands marcus has :

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

rm /system/bin/a2sd.sh

cp /sdcard/a2sd.sh /system/bin/

reboot

open appstosd2. (not sure if this is required but it didn't hurt plus i thought this way it would fix the script issues)

click move apps to sd

reboot (it does it automatically)

Done..... too easy......
[G1 Android Development] DarkFoxDK:
Damn it!

Seems OS X was creating a faulty ext2 partition every time, tried creating the partition with Ubuntu and now it works fine...
[G1 Android Development] DarkFoxDK:
I guess this is nitpicking a bit, but I'd go with this instead:

ls | xargs -n1 adb install

Looks better and easier to remember :)
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
I have been doing some searching and experimenting regarding the Bluetooth audio issue. It turns out I should have been referring to it as "skipping" instead of "clipping." The problem is that when using Bluetooth stereo headset thru a2dp, the audio cuts in and out, for as much as a second at a time (or more).

Apparently, from comments in this thread, the bluetooth and a2dp were working better back at about .91 than they have been subsequently. Did the fixes that were pulled out in .92 ever get identified and put back in?

From experimentation, it seems to me that the problem may have at least something to do with the strength of the broadcast bluetooth signal. I found that I can repeatedly reproduce the skipping by putting the phone on the other side of my body from the headset receiver. If I keep the headphones in "line of sight" of the phone, it will never skip. It I put the phone on the other side of my body from the receiver, it starts to skip and continues to skip. This was causing me lots of problems because I would routinely wear the BT headset in my left ear and wear the phone on a belt clip on my right hip. I am not familiar enough with the usual strength of a BT signal, but it seems weird that the signal is not strong enough to go TWO FEET if my body is in the way.

So, is there a way to "turn up" the strength of the BT broadcasting of the phone, at least enough to keep this from happening? I can always wear the phone and the headset on the same side of my body. But it doesn't seem as though that should be necessary.

Dude, if you don't want to tweak this in your build for everyone, but there is a way to do it, could you tell me what I need to do (what file and maybe what setting) so that I can adjust it on my own phone?

Thanks for any help you can give. And thanks again for your great work on the ROM.

@stellarman:

Had similar issues here with 0.94! In my scenario i would hear about 5-10 seconds of music and then have a skip of about 0,5 seconds. So I played around a bit and could get hold of it by disabling WiFi. Don't know, but it would seem like the Android (or this build) will do a poll every X seconds to see if there are new WiFi Networks around. So now there are 2 possibilities: Either it is a software problem like wifi is taking up to much resources and thus stopping the player for a short period of time or it is a hardware (radio) problem having wifi and bluetooth chipset to challenge each other for that short period. This was my solution... maybe it could help you solve your Problem or at least help you to look in the right direction. For what signal strength is concerning I never had real Problems, always having the Handset in a range of about 2-3ft from Headphone.

@theDude:

Thank you for your time and dedication!!!
[G1 Android Development] MontAlbert:
has anyone else noticed how slow their phone gets when using A2DP? I find if i run this, along with rockon my phone is so slow i get a heap of "X-app" is not responding -force close or wait......i try to use browser at same time its damn near impossible- so slow- works like this for all music apps... not just rockon.

bluetooth

My s9's work perfectly... if i'm standing completely still. lol. My wifi is all the way turned off, and it still cuts in and out unpredictably. It has been happening since the profile was added to the phone. maybe thats why it wasn't included in the first place. I don't know why, but it is frustrating as hell when you are singing along, and suddenly. clip. aghhh. lalala clip. arghghh. lalala. clip sonofabitch. turn off s9's and turn back on. good for a little bit, and then clipclipclip. AGHHHHH

edit: and no clipping during calls at all.
[G1 Android Development] sandshrimp:
The issue is caused by using the wi-fi with bluetooth. If you turn off wi-fi while playing music via bluetooth, the skipping/clipping goes away
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
i disagree. I turn off wifi/location/data sync while at work and use bluetooth. It clips, and it has nothing to do with wifi.

edit: i'm gonna try airplane mode today and see if its any different.
[G1 Android Development] narel:
I've just rooted my G1 and installed Dude's Cupcake. After this I cannot use headphones (both bluetooth and wired). When I plug them (or turn on bluetooth) then all sounds disappears. No ringtones, no music, no voice during calls. When I then open music player all I can hear (from build-in speaker) is a noise, even when I stop the music. It disappears after the reboot.

Do you have similar issues? How can I make it work?

Thanks.

For some reason I still have problems with not being able to set wallpaper on 1.1a

I have tried using gallery, long-press + set wallpaper, wallpaper set & save and the "Backgrounds" app.
[G1 Android Development] brianb7590:
This is my situation exactly(I have the S9s) I talked to Dude about it, he said he was going to work on it but he really doesnt know where to start. I know early in this thread he had mentioned that it could be "tweaked" like it is on the WinMo phones. Something to do with the quality, as in, lower quality but less clipping and more range...

It was said that this could be caused by stale data on your SD card. Are you using Apps2SD? Or Cache? Or /data/data?
[G1 Android Development] DarkFoxDK:
I only have my apps on the sd card, I did a complete reformat of the card before I installed 1.1a (this was yesterday).
[G1 Android Development] narel:
OK, fixed. Wrong version of radio firmware. With newest version everything seems to be OK.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Might wanna try installing my latest script(works better anyway). May or may not help with your problem but at least you'll have the latest version.
[G1 Android Development] yeticomes:
Sorry, was a little bit offline the last days and just read the last 10 pages here and now I do not know if there is anything special to do when I want to go from my Dudecake 0.94 to 1.1a (full)?!

I have the apps at sd (thanks to Marcus & the "old" apps2sd" app & the newest HTC radio & the HTC VK. I am also using dxTop without any problems.

Do I have to do a wipe (what is it about the unionfs and the new way to move apps2sd)?Should I re-format the ext2 partition to?

Or do I just flash the 1.1a and everything is fine?

Would be really great if you could give me a short answer to my questions although I think it could be answered in the 120 pages I have misses ;-)

Thank you very much & especially to the Dude (great vacations!) & Marcus
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
What program are you using to make the partition? Because sometimes a re-format of the partition is not good enough. I had this problem before,so I formated the EXT2 partition then deleted it re-distributed the empty space formated the whole s.d to fat32 again then created the EXT2 partition again. After that i put 1.1a build on my S.D and wiped first then flashed the build after it was done i wiped again and done as far as that. Now when the phone starts check the problem out,if its working fine do the rest like moving apps/cache to your S.D and install all your apps again.

Hope this helps. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
I believe the script automatically removes any symlinks for you. I'd say try just flashing without a wipe. If weird stuff starts happening(like a boot loop) go back and do a wipe.

I will try & post the result this evening (GMT) :-))

I was just working on SMS delivery reports fix, when I noticed that the themed Messaging app doesn't display status reports. Can anyone confirm?
[G1 Android Development] lovegu:
since i upgraded to 1.1/1.1a i cant install any protected apps

like phonebook, js weather.

market says its installed but then in the launcher it shows the broken(?) icon. and it force closes

and when i look at the app-private directory from the adb shell, it shows nothing!

and yes rebooting g1 will just remove the app from the launcher
[G1 Android Development] borodin1:
Go here and read the first post where it says NOTE: if you're using Dude's build.....

Replacing the file per direction will fix your problem. You will need to re-download any protected apps that you want to use.

Good luck
[G1 Android Development] overground:
You need to get the a2sd.sh file from this zip

put it at the root of your sd card (fat32) then in terminal emulator:

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/bin/a2sd.sh
cp /sdcard/a2sd.sh /system/bin/
reboot

Your internal memory will now show whatever your ext2 partition size is on your sd. So don't get alarmed, that's how it's supposed to be for now.
[G1 Android Development] yeticomes:
Great, update works without wipe etc.

Thank you

The Blue Theme is interesting ...
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
I saw this data earlier in the thread. Trouble is, I always keep wifi turned off unless I am specifically planning to use it. Better battery life that way. None of my tests were done with wifi on. So, turning it off is not an option... :)
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
I wish it were as simple as that. I keep my wifi off always, unless I am using it.

The only possibility I can think of, that pertains at all to wifi, is that some modification made by the WIFI Tethering program, might cause wifi to stay "on" in the background in some manner.

The thing is, I can reliably reproduce the skipping by putting my body between the headset and the phone. And, I get absolutely no skipping if I hold the phone in front of me or put it on the desk in "line of sight" to the headset.

Because of the above, I am pretty well convinced it is not a wifi issue. But, thanks for the input.
[G1 Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Hmm mine only seems to cut out when I'm walking/running. It sounds like your headset is lower power or doesn't have a very good bluetooth antenna. Granted I'm pretty sure the G1 has a really low power bluetooth profile or just really high quality(more kbps) and that doesn't help either.
[G1 Android Development] Infinite.Finite:
Good help for the other guy, however what I was referring to was the original google theme but with a black background in the text messaging. I didnt know if you could just switch it out like how you can do some adb stuff and switch to have the white background in Haykuros old H build or if there were other requirements involved.
[G1 Android Development] ESKIMOn00b:
As far as bluetooth is concerned i dont have a stereo headset but i do have a standard blue ant z9i and the range on that sucker is phenominal, havent actually been on the phone from more than 5-6ft but i definatly do get the full 33ft of connectivity that one should expect from bluetooth 2.0.

Example work at radioshack leave my phone plugged in in back and will walk around the entire store and wont lose connectivity on my earpiece, when i am talking on the phone i dont usually stray more than 5-6 ft from it or risk the other party missing a few of my words, still crystal on my end tho. (My BB curve was only slightly better 7-8 ft max)

Side note, anyone care to point me in the right direction on changing the time (time msg sent or rcvd) in the msging app to white? The gray is killer to see unless i crank the brightness up and suck down the batt.
[G1 Android Development] ESKIMOn00b:
Double post.........
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Pop in a MMS from a earlier build of the dude's should work fine.
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
Hmmm..... My Plantronics 855 stereo headset is supposed to be pretty good quality..... But, who knows how good its antenna really is.

I doubt I can do anything to change the headset settings or antenna. Do you have any idea where to tweak the values for the bluetooth transmitter for the phone? I would be willing to look into the file and see if I can figure out what settings to change. But, if the settings are built into the kernel, I am not prepared or knowledgeable enough to confront that. Any idea?
[G1 Android Development] ESKIMOn00b:
Would that not revert the whole app to default theme? I just want to change the txt color on the time
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Text color for the time is in a .xml some where not that easy to change on your own.

I could make it white background as normal themed if you want that.

SMS sent twice if contact name has a comma in it?

Hi G1-users,

thanks for the great support here in the forums and the magnificent piece of firmware that is distributed here.

I got a question about an issues that occurs since the cupcake upgrade (T Mobile as well as Dudecake 1.1a) for me.

Short messages are sent TWICE to the recipient,

- if the message is sent via the messaging tool (by clicking messaging and then entering the recipient)

- if there has not been a message to that person before

- if the contact name has a comma in it (eg last name, first name).

I can't find a way to solve this issue... as soon as I type in such a recipient, the name appears once in the input field. In the grey bar above that however, the name appears twice, the message is then sent twice to the same contact.

Do you have a clue what's behind and how to solve this? @Dude-Experts: Do you know how to fix this firmware-wise?

Greets from Germany,

Chris

The only thing I don't like is the IM.apk is gone..i used it for msn msngr, yahoo msngr, aim etc

also Amazon mp4's are gone - now i cant purchase mp4s

how do i get im.apk and amazon.apk ? can i download the apk's and install them?

I'm fairly new to linux, so this above and "for app in *; do adb install "$app"; done;" doesnt quite mean enough to me yet.

Hi

I am with The Dudes ROMs since 0.5 and everything worked fine. I moved apps2sd with the app from Marcus and did not do a wipe since the none-wipe versions were available.

But after 2 days with 1.1a Full I have the impression that the whole system is slower than before:

- to go to the homescreen (dxtop, but it worked smooth until now) is up to 20seconds,

-opening websites with cache enabled is not as fast as before (up to 30 sec),

-my internal memory is at 13MB and I have to clear Browser Cache daily to come back to 20MB free

-I have uninstalled round about 20 apps and after doing that I got 4MB more internal memory?! I thought the apps are at the sdcard or is this the dalvik cache?

- my battry drains without any widget and not really powerusing (GPS etc is off)

So now my question is if I should do a wipe and reinstall 1.1a? Should I also format the ext2 partition an reinstall the apps? Will they automatically install to the sdcard?

For the battery should I go back to the sapphire radio? I had the impression that it was better then when I used this radio before ...

It would be really great if you could help me again here with your experiences and any advice about my questions!

Sorry for the long post and thanx in advance for your support :-)

Playing with Fire

Hey I was looking at working on my G1 and having the Aps2sd mod. I went ahead and bought my class 6 4gb sd card. Im preparing it now with ubuntu to have a 500 mb ext2. Im backing up all my apps and saving everything that was on my previous sd card to my computer to replace on my new card. Now heres what worries me. I already have dudes previous works on my phone (build .94) and want to upgrade to the 1.1. What should I do with my phone to make it work with the apps2sd mod. I also heard that rewriting constantly (like cache) on an sd card has the potential to harm/fry it. Has anyone experienced or heard of that before? Im ready to go, bt need somewhere to start. anyone?:confused:
