Anyone else experience delays when bringing up the contacts? I have about 140 contacts (most of them with pictures) and it takes anywhere between 6 - 10 seconds to bring up the contact list:

Subsequent times are pretty fast. It appears that after some time the phone "swaps" the information out and takes time to reload. This is a standard ROM installation (with 1.9.2) and Hero theme. I did notice those delays even before applying the Hero theme.

GNaschenweng,

Yea I believe this is something a few people are experiencing ... and the larger the contact list the longer the wait ... damnitpud had mentioned this previously as well another. I am looking into it ... but I do believe you are correct that it occurs when swapping takes place.

I will hopefully bring a fix to the table in the next release.

Everything is up and running but when I try to tether the SU Request comes up with a blank screen and eventually force closes SU WhiteList. Is there a way to manually add an app the the whitelist ?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
qwerty3656,

The cytown phone.apk has not been included in any themes ... "yet" ... tonight ... I'm going to repost all the themes with this addition in them ... just FYI.

Also, the BLUR theme lacks Loccy's Better Browser.

I'm gonna post those tonight.

Finally, cytown's donut 9.25 works just fine on these builds. :) So it will be an option in the next release ... as well as ... it will be included in themes going forward (again starting tonight).

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] tengtou:
Thanks. That worked.

Have you tried. Su expsetup in the terminal apps foř vsapp?
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Set Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging to ON.
[G1 Android Development] MrDva:
Of course, I followed the original instructions as far as I could, I have not tried it in this 3rd flash due to concern it could have been the cause of the reboot issue.

"Installing "VSAPP's" - Instructions

1) Create a directory on your FAT32 partition of your sdcard, named epvsapps. (/sdcard/epvsapps)

2) Copy the desired vsapp.zip file(s) to this directory.

3) Open the TerminalApp, type

Code:

su

expsetup

4) Select option #5 from the ExpSetup Menu (Install Virtual System-Apps2SD).

5) When it finishes, reboot your phone. That's it."

Again I have no vsapp.zip, much less a desired one.

Searching I found,

"Probably a dumb question, but where do I download vsapp.zip?

In the TerminalApp ... run ...

Code:

su

expsetup

Select option #13 ... it will prompt for the various vsapp's."

At this moment I don't remember what I did and my phone just went back into the boot loop again, this ROM is clearly faulty.

Reformatted EXT3 and Linux-Swap, didn't correct the issue.

Doing a RAv1.2.0G Nandriod Restore, (restore point was just prior to the Hero Theme, haven't done anything since other than market downloads and config),

(did not reformat EXT3 and Linux-Swap),

is not rebooting, restore point was early lots of setup to do still.

Gonna grab a different ROM even if I have to roll back to 1.8.4 and put up with the OTA Push.

ROM looks great otherwise, I was very happy about it.. but this odd boot loop issue is too much to have hanging over my head when I need the phone to work.

Thanks again.
[G1 Android Development] sasa3791:
What is recommended swap and swappiness for this ROM?

because I stayed at 96mb swap, is it a problem?

and just one

Why "accessibility" options in settings turned off, whether it should be so?

thx

[G1 Android Development] vinz0r:
As others have mentioned, I do also experience an issue with Vibrate-Feedback in the Android keyboard. It's very weak, sometimes it doesn't vibrate at all, and other times it'll vibrate strongly.

This is using both ADP and TMO builds, both with Exp Packs.

In ADP + exp pack however, the HTC IME Keyboard vibrates correctly, so I don't know.

Also, not a big deal, but both builds broke the accelerometer. I read through all the posts and looks like somebody gave up on it.

I used the ADB RM commands and successfully removed "rild". There was no "akmd". In both ROMs, after running adb, I was able to reboot, then go back into Settings and find the Orientation setting turned off. Just turned it on, and autorotate came back :D

Thanks for your hard work.

Oh, I don't know if I should mention this here or on Alldroid, but on the blur theme, whenever I press Menu, the menu will appear and flicker for half a second before falling into position... This happens in every app, even on the Home screen.

I have a myTouch 3G btw.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi vinz0r,

Yea ... orientation is turned off by default ... it must be turned on.

;)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
MrDva,

I didn't quite follow this entire message ... but you are saying you were having a reboot problem ... meaning the phone would just reboot in the middle of operation?

If so ... I can tell you this is not normal behaviour and no1 else is experiencing this ... as far as reformatting partitions ... that's what I'd still suggest ... but ... I'd suggest you do it in this order ... reformat partitions in recovery, then immediately wipe in recovery, flash base, then immediately flash the expansion, reboot (boot up).

There's no good reason you should have had those issues. I would encourage you to try again.

Just make sure you use matching base+exppack and use v1.9.2.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] coredump777:
Not an option here, area codes on my country are 2 digits, and we must use an operator code to dial long distance, so I usually store the phone numbers in the format: 0ooaaxxxx-xxxx (oo is operator and aa is area code). There should be a way to make phone numbers match from the end to the beginning.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi sasa3791,

The amount of swap 96MB is fine ... no problems there ... just not linux-swap is turned off by default ... compcache is on by default ... just make sure you don't run both at the same time.

As far as the accessiblity deal in settings ... I'm not sure exactly. To be honest I hadn't even noticed it, lol.

I'll see if I can figure out what that's about.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Pretty sure this is an animation feature of the theme; menu slides up from below the bottom edge of the screen, overshoots, then bounces a couple of times on the bottom edge. I haven't seen the real Blur in action though to confirm.
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
awesome man, I'm really looking forward to it. I'm also hoping that you would make a base rom for MT3G users so we don't have to flash an expansion pack for it to work properly.
[G1 Android Development] vinz0r:
Man I feel so stupid after having written this whole post lol....

Anything we can do to help on the Keyboard-vibrate option? (log or something)
[G1 Android Development] vinz0r:
I'm not sure either... The flickering looks a bit much to be intentional... It's like it flickers between an invisible layer (goes behind and comes back in front of it about 3-4 times). Other times it won't flicker and it looks perfectly normal... If I can find my camcorder battery, I'll shoot a video and post it.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Well, if you're not on the NANP, we'll need an alternative...

It's a real pain, but you could add the number formatted the way the phone gets it from your carrier as a second number on the contact.

An appropriately modified Phone.apk might also be able to have modified number matching rules. Perhaps you could check in on cytown's thread and make a feature request there, assuming it isn't already part of his mod?
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Yeah, I just hit "menu" a few times and think I know what you mean now. There's definitely also an up-down translation though...so maybe it's a bug in the animation where the (partially transparent) menu is compositing incorrectly?
[G1 Android Development] bluecluenj:
You have (2) options if you are experiencing lag ... (1) find the app that is causing the issue and get rid of it. ... or (2) disable compcache and go back to complete stock memory management in which poorly written apps are forced out of memory when memory is used up.

~enom~[/QUOTE]

Thanks enom :) some of the apps that are staying alive in the background are stuff I cant get rid of...like messaging, settings, email, etc. I will search and find out how to disable compcache then...Its a sweet ROM and I'm sure it will be perfect when I can get my MT3G set up without 20 apps running in the background lol

Google Voice Force Closes Everytime

Voice Search Closes Everytime
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Huh, that's odd, because:

* Voice Search works fine, and Voice Dialer finally works (for me, see Post 1801)

How about enough details to help us help you?

* What device? G1/Dream or myTouch 3G/Magic?

* Which version of the ROM? ADP or TMO?

* Are you using a theme? If so, which one?

As it happens though, there's probably a simple solution:

* Wipe

* Reformat any ext2/ext3/ext4 partition you have on your SD card

* Reflash base

* Reflash expansion

* Reboot

If your phone is slowing down you could get a great app called taskiller from the market. it is free. And it shuts down programs that are running that you dont need. It knows the difference between needed apps and none

I have 4 numbers for my wife, that would make 8 numbers :P And I am in Brazil, so NANP is not really applicable :)

I will install and check, and if negative I will check to see if it can be done/requested.

Tried to use telenav today and found out my GPS isn't working. Using the TMO rom with the 1.92 expansion pack any clues to what's going on?
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Make sure GPS is turned on, since apps can't do that on their own. Settings->Security & location->Enable GPS satellites to ON.

Also, the free app GPS Status 2 on Market will let you know what the GPS is seeing. You could just have no visible sats from your location.

Otherwise, down to standard advice: wipe, reformat, reflash.

widgets not working

I flashed the new htc 1.6 and expansion pack

on my mt3g 32b and the widgets don't seem to update or function properly

is this a known issue? Even the powercontrol widget doesnt function right

example:when you click GPS it doesnt indicate that it has been clicked however it does turn it on..

Also, when I loaded the rom for the first time it gave me an option of 2 home screens HOME and ADANCEDLAUNCHER.

what is the difference in these? Which would you prefer using?

EDIT: a simple reboot fixed the widgets... very peculiar. glad its working though. :D
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Advanced Launcher is a replacement for the standard launcher (Home) featuring a configurable number of screens, a 6x5 app drawer, support for the landscape orientation, the ability to remove shortcuts from the drawer, and much much more. See its thread for details. Most of us like it (which is why it's included) but some people prefer the stock behavior (which is cool too). Try it out; if you like it, set it as the default for the home action. If not, set Home as the default and forget Advanced Launcher even exists.

/system space

Hi calvaner,

You've got a special case here! With the current TMO build, you've definitely got a "severe" shortage of /system space.

You could try the HTC ADP equivalent, I've heard some good feedback on that. With the HTC ADP equivalent, you'll get roughly ~14MB of free /system. Which is enough for you're requirements.

Also, more /system space is coming in the v1.4. This will updated shortly. Till then, the HTC ADP build would work fairly solid for you, I'm sure of it.

I will look a little deeper at the CIME requirements (maybe there's something do-able here, no guarantees! :rolleyes:). I'll update thread with more later.

Till then, if you try the HTC ADP, and PM me, I'll do my best to make it for you!

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] calvaner:
Hi Enom,

Thanks for your help, just wonder did the ADP Rom contains Android Market? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
It does, but you can only download private/protected apps after flashing it over with the expansion pack.

How to check if CompCache is running, and apps2SD formatting

Hi there,

First of all, thanks for all the hard work on making this happen, and all the continued hard work supporting folks with questions that I've seen in my scan through this thread.

Unfortunately, this thread has grown quite long, and while I suspect that the answers I seek are in here somewhere, in searching and scanning I didn't see them.

So, two questions, and if you already have answered these, apologies (please reply with link to previous answers, though?):

1) Even if I have enabled apps2sh in the userinit.sh file, I'm guessing I still need to format my sdcard manually? I thought at first that auto-apps2sd meant truly automatic, but in retrospect I'm glad the installer doesn't just reformat my sdcard :-) Once I get both the fat32 and ext2 partitions on there, it will recognize them and move files? It looks like the file transfer is automated in the userinit.sh file.

2) Is there a good way to check if CompCache is running and to monitor what it is doing? While this build is NOTICEABLY faster than what I was running previously, I'm not sure if it is the more available memory or just differences in the kernel or some other build difference.

Thanks again!

[G1 Android Development] enomther:
partitioning, Apps2SD and compcache

Hi sheepdawg,

Appreciate the words.

1) Are you using the FullFeatured or ExpansionPack Setup? There is some "basic" confusion here between various users, so I always have to ask.

Your answer here will gauge my response back to you.

2) In general, yes I'm not going to just format things for you ;). You must manually get your partitioning setup, 1 FAT32 and 1ext2/ext3 is the preferred setup. I'm not recommending linux-swap to anyone. This is the default setup for now (b/c so many are used to the linux-swap), in the upcoming v1.4, linux-swap will no longer be automatic and compcache will, just FYI.

As far as partitioning, I suggest using at least 320MB on the ext2/ext3 partition (so you'll always have plenty, better safe than ever sorry). Once you are partitioned like this, yes the auto-Apps2SD will occur in the FullFeatured or the Apps2SD will occur in the ExpansionPack, if turned-on in the userinit.sh.

3) For verifying compcache, there are three basic commands.

3.1)

free

This should output the amount of free memory you have available. If it's something like ~2MB or less, compcache is definitely not kickin. If you turned on the script-suggest 32MB, you should see roughly ~31MB in the "total" for the "Swap:" partition, not "Mem:"

3.2)

cat /proc/swaps

This command will 100% verify what you're running. It displays any form of swapping setup on the system. If compcache is running, you should see an entry starting with "/dev/ramzswap0"

3.3)

cat /proc/ramzswap

This will output various information regarding compcache. I always find the "GoodCompress" and "NoCompress" data interesting. This will also show the definitive amount of compcache in use.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] subguy812:
I am currently running the Full Featured ROM...I am interested in running compcache. On different rom's I had put this in the root. I guess I am unclear with your rom.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi subguy,

Check out post #37 (on Page 4), this is for compcache setup on FullFeatured. See if you can swing those instructions.

Also, in the upcoming v1.4, compcache will be automatically turned on, just FYI.

Let me know.
[G1 Android Development] sheepdawg:
CompCache

I'm running the ADP 1.5 build you released, with the expansion pack installed, and with the default userinit.sh_v1.3 that you released.

Cool. This was exactly what I was looking for, thanks! CompChache is running like a charm. And WOW, my phone is faster now. Amazing.

Thanks!

[G1 Android Development] alpha010203:
Please forgive my noobness, but in the past, I had run the Dude of life's rom, an then used the app2sd2 app to do all the App2SD. The nice thing about the set up is that the available system space will actually read what ever space I had partitioned for the ext partition.

I am currently running the Full T-Mobile non ADP version, and would like to know how to set up the App2SD so that it would behave in the same way if possible. As far as I can tell, the App2SD is not functioning as of current, since the available space is shown as ~60MB and is steadily decreasing as I install more apps to the phone.

Comp cache or linux swap is not working either, since typing "free" yielded a swap of 0.

Was I supposed to do something with the userinit.sh? or is everything truely automatic?

I apologize if this question had been answered in the past; if that is indeed the case, please feel free to flame me so I know to dig deeper into the forum.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi alpha,

1st, what version are you using 1.2 or 1.3.2?

2nd, it sounds like apps2SD is working with the ~60MB you describe. If it wasn't working, you'd likely have ~57MB or less.

3rd, Compcache is not turned on automatically, see post #37 (page 4) of this thread. Linux-swap is ... only if you have a 3rd partition on your sdcard and it's linux-swap. How is your sdcard partitioned?

4th, in the v1.3.2 you should be getting ~73MB on a fresh install on /data.

5th, this doesn't perform same form of Apps2SD as the dude's, this uses a method, largely taken from cyanogen's implementation, in which case your free /data room is displayed based on the actual free data of the /data partition, not the ext2/ext3 partition on the sdcard.

Let me know.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] alpha010203:
Thanks for the prompt reply.

1. I'm on 1.3.2, and and my SD is split 500MB EXT and the rest for fat32

2. Fresh install, the available space is ~70MB, is there a conclusive way to know that App2SD is indeed working?

3. What is the advantages/disadvantages between the Dude's implementation and yours? In the past, I have used the symlink method, which is quite unstable, and the only way to know if it worked is to install over 10 applications, and if the system memory hovers around 50~60, then it worked. Then the Dude's rom included an alternate way of doing App2SD in which meld the SD partition to that of the system, resulting in what seems to be an "integrated" system. The reason that I made the switch is because I simply want a stable T-Mobile based rom with App2SD support that would allow the system to put all installed APKs and resulting cache on the SD. Is there a way in which your rom could include that method as well, or would cause your wonderful ROM to become too convoluted?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yeah, in this setup, you will definitely not get linux-swap and again, compcache must be manually turned on. I can tell you that with ~70MB, Apps2SD is working. But to be definitive, you could run 2 commands ...

mount

This will output your mount points. You will notice the ext partition is mounted on /system/sd mounted on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2. You should also see /data/dalvik-cache mount to /dev/block/mmcblk0p2, this is the dalvik-cache bind mount.

This is just to verify you've been mounted properly for the Apps2SD implementation.

su
ls -l /data

You will notice that app, app-private and expstick are symlink'd to the extX partition. With the statement '-> /system/sd/XXXXX' after the directory name in the ls output.

Good question as far as the Dude's implementation. To be perfectly honest, I have not investigated how he performs his apps2sd. I only know that it's different than cyanogen's implementation. I'm gonna look into it for my own knowledge mostly, but there are no plans currently to change the way Apps2SD is performed, because as of current, the stability and performance are this implementation has been very good.

PS ... Any luck with Compcache, following post #37's advice? Also, in the upcoming v1.4 it will be turned on automatically.

As of now I did not come across any scary moments.It´s time for me to say thank you so much I do appreciate your time,knowledge etc...

It´s a long process but if you read and read you can make it.

Can I safely assume that if I have my SD card freshly formatted with fat32/ext3/linux-swap partitions in correct sizes (and I installed the build with no issues, subsequently enabling the Swapper app with no issues) that my compcache, apps2sd, and swapper are all working correctly? and how could I verify all that? My sd card still looks empty to me. Do I need to do something?
