[G1 Android Development] l_____l:
Hi Enom, ...I wanted to thank you for the TMO 1.91 + exp. I had been running JF1.51 ADP with apps2sd2 and "swapper" on an 8GB class 6 sandisk card with 456MB as ext2, which crawled to such a stop I had to remove the battery at least 4 times a day. If the phone were to ring, all I could do is watch it!! UN-Answerable. It even took 5 min. to boot!!! I deactivated "swapper", and still the same thing, however, swapper showed in the "get info", that I had less than 2MB of "RAM" at most (all) times. Something like, (95MB, 92MB used) just after any boot. Swapper would help, a little, but not by much. PS: A swap file on a SD card will wear out the SD card, but human beings don't live 700 years.

Was the JF1.51 build just so pHaT that Android ran out of britches? Before I did the 1.91 ROM and EXP update, I loaded my SD card into my desktop and booted to Parted Magic, then "deleted" all files and folders in the ext2 partition of the SD card. I did NOT format it. Then I ran the ROM and expansion pack (one at a time as "update.zip") and I'm stunned at how well this works! Yet, I couldn't figure if the apps2sd was working, as well as other "tricks" that have no GUI. I had to power down and put the SD card back in the machine using Parted Magic to verify, that the previously empty ext2 partition now has 80MB of data in many folders! In other words, it works GREAT! However, I'm a "utilities" kinda guy. I would much rather defragment a hard drive than watch a video. Or watch Norton "ghost" a drive for hours. (Yet I refuse to watch paint dry)

Anyhow, great job! My only problem is, I can't see it in action, nor know it's outcome. There has to be some MIT road coder that wants the same thing as I do. For example, an Android file browser that is not only "root capable", but can view the SD card and all partitions on it! Where as WIN can not see Linux, Linux can see all. (Parted Magic is cool!)

As for a "gift donation", I'm ready.....the day I can define and understand "Compcache". (or is that another term for "apps2sd"). I'm lost in Linux! Yet I went from AOL ver 1.6 for MS-DOS to CRMA upgradeable wireless on the Win XP platform, with few questions. :)

.....there has to be a way to view the ext partition in a file manager for Android. There also has to be a way to view "real time RAM usage" in at least a widget.

Thank you for all you do,

-Pace
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
can you implement BFS or create an update to the kernel?
[G1 Android Development] bubonik:
Look for a file browser for root users, I think the link is in dream / apps on this forum. Dont have but im pretty sure you can view that partition.

Get advanced task manager for ram viewing and process killing.
[G1 Android Development] l_____l:
Advanced task manager is great. I've had that since 2/09...the only 2 decent file browsers (paid apps) do NOT see the ext2 partition on the SD card. :(
[G1 Android Development] bubonik:
Maybe its possible under ubuntu? I just started playing with it about a week ago. Managed to get the sdk, eclipse 3.5, adb and the signer app running. Dont know **** else about it.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Compcache is a slick Linux kernel module that steals part of your RAM and uses it as a cache (like a swap), compressing the contents in the process. Hence, COMPressed CACHE. In effect, you have more RAM, but part of your RAM is slower due to the compression/decompression overhead. Very slick for embedded devices, but you have to balance the amount of compressed RAM with the amount uncompressed to optimize the performance. You can read all about it at its homepage.

If you play around at the terminal, you can figure out where each partition is being placed with the "mount" command. Look for a line that says /dev/block/somethingorother /folderwhereyourextpartionis ext2 (or ext3 or ext4) to track it down. I'd give you details but I'm currently running with a single FAT partition, no Apps2SD or linux-swap. You can also use the df command to see how much space is left on each of the mounted partitions.

Hope this helps somewhat. I know it's not a pretty GUI; maybe I'll take a shot at it once ASE gets more UI capabilities.

Enometer, 1.9.1 is rockin!!!!!!!:D

my only problemo is that within expsetup, I get this error with the 1.9.1 update file & OPTION 5 (apps2sd):

Installing update.zip

Unpacking update.zip . . . unzip: zip flags 1 and 8 are not supported
done.

Analyzing update.zip . . . done.

ERROR: update.zip is not a properly formatted update.zip file.

Virtual SystemApps2SD installation successfully completed.

I have tried using both the 1.9.1 base as well as the extended.....im lost...

ive gotten so far, and now what I miss is only apps2sd :)
[G1 Android Development] dta1974:
Did you create any partitions on your memory card by any chance?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi -Pace,

Were your other 7'ish posts this epic ? lol ;) nice

I'm not sure on the filemanager deal, I'm not sure anything like that exists ... I simply have no need to see inner workings over my ext partition on an ongoing basis, so can't help ya there.

- Real time Free RAM usage

In the terminal ...

free

- Knowing apps2sd is working ...

su
busybox ls -s /data

You'll see '->' arrows for app/app-private pointing to /system/sd.

- What is compcache ... definition ... (check out the googlecode project)

http://code.google.com/p/compcache/

So now you can donate ? lol

Hope that helps.

[G1 Android Development] enomther:
You should only typically get that error if you are using a "vsapp" I didn't produce ... what exactly are you trying to install ?

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] l_____l:
The "Flip Clock", is that the "Retro Clock Widget" by jSource? Works fine on the TMO 1.9.1 build for me.
[G1 Android Development] dta1974:
Sorry dude,don´t get me wrong...but ...how many energy drinks did you drink before and while you were posting? :D:D

As for the donation,I can tell you are the new kid in town,cause enomther deserves them. ;);)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
mgorman,

I do intend on utilizing BFS at some point. But for now... I will not be producing or utilizing it.

I still consider these 2.6.29 kernel BFS backports to be experimental. Eventually BFS will come to these builds, but I'm not going to rush it in, when the current kernel performs very well as is.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] ASUDave:
Weird. I flashed 1.9.2 exp and hero theme and now, even though I have orientation marked, all screens except the home screen auto-orient. I'm using the standard launcher and BetterCut. Any ideas why home won't auto-orient?

Otherwise, very good ROM.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
The standard launcher doesn't have orientation. You'll need to use Advanced Launcher or another launcher/home screen to get that.
[G1 Android Development] ASUDave:
Wait. Seriously? The first thing I did when I bought the G1 was root and install a ROM. I guess I never used the the standard launcher? Or is that a new thing in donut?
[G1 Android Development] l_____l:
Sorry, 2 much 2 read then, I understand. I take my "Energy Drinks" via IV Push:eek: JK....at least I don't make 20 posts askin why I get a blank screen when I do ROM updates. Had a couple of those, read many posts without saying a word. I'm the type that has always sat in the back of the class and paid attention. Nonetheless, all is finally well with my G1, except for 2 FC issues, one being Bluex file transfer, (a 1.6 bug) and aHome is useless on the 1.6 platform. I just want to see (view) what is going on with the apps2sd (etc) in a GUI kind of way. Can you tell me how to view the ext2 partition of my sd card in "astro, SUFBS or root explorer"? :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] l_____l:
I've been using aHOME and dxTOP in the 1.5 builds. aHOME is useless on 1.6 donut builds at present! dxTOP is flawless and I believe totally 1.6 compliant. dxTOP is my default home screen app. aHOME has a tad more to it, and should work with 1.6 very soon, if not already. Check the market and look for 1.6 donut compatibility. I never liked the standard home screen. Not even with Android 1.0.
[G1 Android Development] Technochris1:
In this rom, when i goto settings/sound&display/ringer volume, I get a force close. not a big issue, becasue the volume keys still change the volume... Just thought you might wanna look into it.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Advanced Launcher is some XDA-dev coolness. The standard home screen/launcher didn't have orientation in 1.5, either. Like you, the first thing I did when I bought the mT3G was root and install a ROM, but it was enom's before he added Advanced Launcher, so I was aware of the standard launcher's limitations. I added Cyanogen's launcher since I wanted the orientation behavior. In fact, if you rewind a few (dozen) pages you'll see my saga of trying to get Cyan's launcher off my phone since AL could do the same job without breaking wipes (not Cyan's fault, mind you, just a deal with the keys used to sign).

Hey, if it weren't for them, this wouldn't be my 42nd post! Thanks, somewhat anonymous people!

For some reason with 1.92 expansion pack I lost the HTC IME. Just wanted to point that out. Thank you for all of your work!!!
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Herm ...

Well ... that's def odd ... here's a sure fire way to get it back ...

In the terminal ..

su
cd /system/sd
busybox rm -rf expstick
reboot recovery

Once in recovery ... reflash v1.9.2 ... that should fix it.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
This is def odd behaviour ...

This should not be occurring ... I would suggest a fresh install ... meaning ... reformat (or completely clean) any/all ext partitions ... wipe, flash base, flash exppack.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] shagge68:
Thanks so much! I reverted but I will do it again and see if it fixes it.
[G1 Android Development] shagge68:
I had the same problem...Reset your ringtone then try to adjust volume and it should fix the problem. It worked for me.
[G1 Android Development] MagicDude4Eva:
Is it possible to include a new APN list - such as the one from Cyanogen: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/wiki/APNlist?

Also, when configuring a WLAN with a certificate, how do I go about adding a new cert, so that it appears in the drop-down?
[G1 Android Development] MagicDude4Eva:
one more observation (I am now on v1.9.2) - I have seen this ever since I moved from this ROM during bootup. I have not seen this behaviour on Cyanogen (but perhaps this is not logged on Cyanogen):

I//system/bin/fsck_msdos( 483): ** /dev/block//vold/179:1

I//system/bin/fsck_msdos( 483): 286 files, 3855056 free (1530458 clusters)

I/logwrapper( 483): /system/bin/fsck_msdos terminated by exit(0)

D/vold ( 483): Filesystem check completed OK

I/vold ( 483): Sucessfully mounted vfat filesystem 179:1 on /sdcard (safe-mode off)

I completely repartitioned my SD-card (which is a 16GB Transcend class 6 card). The above happens in one way or another after reboots. Perhaps there is a problem with the shutdown-/reboot-process not properly unmounting filesystems?

I have 3 partitions on my card (running EXT4 though):

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 15416

mkpartfs primary ext2 15416 15884

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 15884 15948

Anyone else experience similar output through logcat when booting?
[G1 Android Development] joen_:
Sorry if this is a stupid question but what benefit does the included HTC framework actually bring us? I mean, I know this is something that is used by the Sense UI on the Hero, but I'm not sure what it does on non-Hero roms. I tried to install a Hero widget and succeeded (whereas on other roms it just wouldn't let me install) , but there's no way to actually launch it.

I don't care for Sense, just wondering really.

Nevermind, I found what I was looking for by looking into the script... :D

Am I correct in assuming that the HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROM is suitable for an Australian HTC Magic 32B (Vodafone)?

themes? i tried flashing the gchrome theme u have linked and it doesnt do anything??? are people gonna port themes to this?
[G1 Android Development] Technochris1:
How do you reset your ringtone?, I choose a different one, but this still occurs. I did Reformat the Ext, Wiped and flashed again, and it happens agian, ill re-doo it all again tonight after work, to see what happens. Everything else in the Rom seems spot on. Now more dev's need to fix there apps to correctly work with these Roms....:o

make sure you have a ringer set, there's not one set by default and if you try to change the volume without a ringer set it will FC on you

Strange problem on HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 Rooted

I have a very strange problem, I flashed the HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROOTED without expansion pack

and in the market I cannot find some apps, like:

pager

saldo wind

wind italia

I did a test with the TMO OTA DRC83 - US Rooted and the "Official HTC 1.6 from the htc site" and I can find those apps without problem, but the TMO OTA does not have Italian Locale so it is useless for me.

Please can you check if there is this kind of problem on the HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROOTED.

Thanks

I used the Fastboot method and it worked fine (I have Danger SPL if that makes a difference).
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
I read through the posts and didn't see, so I will ask - Do you have to wipe when going from 1.9.1 to 1.9.2? If so, I will probably wait for a bigger update.
[G1 Android Development] rushless:
Help for my small mind is appreciated in regards to adp and non-adp versions of the newest roms here.

1. I currently have JF 1.51 adp

2. Will the newest roms give me more program memory and app space or less?

3. Does both versions now allow full market access or do you need to install the expansion pack?

4. Not counting the expansion pack, seems the non-adp version is the most functional for apps.

5. Do I need the expansion pack for any function that is not already in the standard JF 1.51 rom?

6. I do not need instant messaging apps. Just text messaging and normal email.

7. Is the non-adp version basically a rooted version of the OTA or this also a bare bones that needs the expansion?

My main issue is I need to swap cards, so apps 2sd is not an option for me. I currently only have 17megs of app space, so want to install the rom that has the same function, but does not eat more of my app space. I play Jarcaid and Android Arcade a lot, so also do not want to lose more system memory since the bigger game roms will not open then.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] sasa3791:
enom

do i need to update to v1.9.2 or i can remain on version v1.9.1?

thx in advance
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
The ADP ROM without the expansion pack has limitations for paid apps, though it appears that Pager and Saldo Wind at least are free. (Wind Italia doesn't show up on Cyrket). I would still recommend installing the expansion pack to see if it helps.

You do not need to wipe when updating expansion packs. Just nandroid before update to be sure. Sasa, the update to 1.9.2 is mostly to keep TMO or other carriers from giving you an OTA update that you don't want and "annoying the **** out of you," as enom puts it. You don't have to do it, but it's easy, so you may as well.
[G1 Android Development] Zonk76:
I had the same issue. But this was solved after I set/changed the original ringtone. Thereafter no more FC for volume settings.
[G1 Android Development] Zonk76:
Sorry to bring this up again, but I havent seen an answer yet. I hope the question is not too stupid? I understood this ROM does also support European languages, actually I use it with German UI. So is there a way to set also the HW keyboard to QWERTZ? Or what is needed to do so? thanks
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
Hey Enom

I'm back on your build. The fresh installation went smoothly besides the force close after signing in. I removed the advanced launcher and replaced the better browser with the stock one.
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:

Just curious why you don't like the advanced launcher and the Better Browser? I find them both better than the Stock versions.

Cool ... wb ... Are you able to use the GlobalSearch functions with the Browser w/out FC's ??? ... We had this issue early on ... and I replaced the stock with loccy's to resolve.

Thanks a lot!
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
1) Gr8!

2) Yes more memory for programs.

3) You should use either the TMO base or either ROM + expansion pack for proper Market functionality.

4) Um, not sure what you mean there.

5) You need the expansion pack to gain functionality similar to what's found in JF ROM's.

6) k.

7) Yes, basically.

Apps2SD is optional ... if you only use FAT32 ... you won't have apps2sd.

you get ~66MB free of RAM out of the gate. Games *should* work properly.

1) The DRC92 ... has the Turtle and Frog wallpapers lol ... which you can add yourself ... if you are diehard for them, lol

2) The DRC92 ... comes preloaded w/ the PicoTTS TextToVoice files ... which you can freely obtain from the Market anyways

3) The DRC92 ... has the DRC92 build.prop and sapphire sensor libs ... which the expansion pack adds anyways.

4) The DRC92 ... has Work Email ... which the expansion pack adds anyways.

So after expansion ... there's really no difference.

[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi splitkooks,

Apps2SD is enabled auto-matically (w/the expansion pack) ... if you have a 2nd partition on your sdcard that is ext2/ext3/ext4 it is enabled automatically. You don't need to apply any update.zip through vsapps.

vsapps are for adding apps ... not rooted feature sets.

If you are trying to install the "expansion pack" ... you just flash this is recovery like any other update.zip file.

Hope that helps. :)

Btw, found a (very) small bug in the browser (maybe I am not the first to report): In the bookmark menue, the icon shown in front of "add to bookmarks" is the icon for roaming in foreign network. But I understood this is not "your" browser but optimized by someone else ;-)

Hi funnycool,

I have no idea why it's not working on the TMO network. You would think it should. I personally don't use these services ... so I dunno.

Maybe TMO needs to unblock something. Truthfully I have no idea.

Verifying Apps2SD

splitkooks,

Couple terminal commands to verify apps2SD.

su
busybox df -h

You should see (2) entries for /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 ... (1) for /system/sd and (1) for /data/dalvik-cache

Also,

su
busybox ls -l /data

You should see '-> ' arrows after app & app-private pointing to /system/sd.

chief2842,

theme templates are for theme devs ... I haven't posted any for the Donut builds yet .... but in short ... do not flash them.

As far as the HTC_IME on TMO build ... Cyanogen ported (hacked up) the current one from Tattoo ... search the apps forum for it and give it a shot and let me know how it goes.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi marty22877,

This MOD essentially allows the CPU clocking to adjust between freq levels in a much faster manner. Meaning it lowers and raises much more quickly based on usage requirements ...

However, there is a slight battery life tradeoff when using this functionality.

But should/could improve overall performance (as perceived by the user) when using your phone's UI.

So far yes ... and only for the ADP build. I'm trying to get more scheduled for porting ... but this ROM is still very "young" ... but more themes are coming.
