[G1 Android Development] CharonIDRONES:
Um . . . I have been using app2sd since I was on JF's ROMs, wipe before each install and occasionally reformat my SD card. When I reformat my SD a lot of the time I don't back up my apps just to cull them a bit into what is more necessary instead of just superfluous.

However, I have never encountered what you're talking about. And I format my card and install apps just fine. I don't know what you're doing to where a clean wipe and clean SD (fat32,ext3,swap in my case) doesn't install apps . . . Can't offer a fix, but that does not seem right cause I have done it countless times. And probably countless more times I will.
[G1 Android Development] oneofone1:
Are you using Backup for Root Users? This happened to me on a few apps and drove me crazy. The only fix I found was to go into the BackupRoot folder on the sd, find the problem apps and delete the .apks, then a complete wipe/flash. When I restored the .apks (just them; no other settings in BFRU), after that the problem apps were available in the market again.

Hope this helps...
[G1 Android Development] pascanu:
This happens when there's a mismatch between the apps you have on sd and apps/permissions written in /data/system/packages.xml (you probably restored this file somehow and that messes up what Market thinks you have installed). Try deleting this file, format sd and then reinstall aps from the market.

Not 100% sure this is what happens because you said you wiped and that should delete packages.xml but the simptoms hint that this may me the cause.

Market looks for installed apps in packages.xml, so it thinks you have a particular app installed, but then it can't reinstall it because it's not there when installer looks for it.

The storage info of ext3 partition

Hi,

i just installed v1.17.1 and it worked pretty well. Thanks Dwang :)

Just one thing: i was able to view the storage info when i was using CM Rom. But, this one doesn't has this option. Is there any other way to check?

BTW, it has the option to unmount the SD card. But, is it necessary as we can't unmount it anyway when the phone is on?
[G1 Android Development] devilkazuya:
thank you for the great rom, please help with launcher

i am using v1.17.1 on my 32B Vodafone Magic and am loving it so far.

I want to change the 5 launchers to standard 3, is this possible? I dont actually have enough to put on 5 screens and prefer the 3.
[G1 Android Development] tmusall:
userinit.sh does not run at boot

I've looked into this as well. According to 'adb logcat' the sdcard isn't mounted until late in the boot process; well after custom_init executes. Therefore when custom_init checks for /sdcard/userinit.sh it will always fail due to an unmounted sdcard. To fix this dwang should probably try executing an userinit.sh located at /system/sd instead. This should always work for both apps2sd and non-apps2sd configurations. I've modified his custom_init script to look for /system/sd/userinit.sh and put my script there and it works as expected. The code to add to custom_init should look like this:

if [ -e /system/sd/userinit.sh ];
then
echo "--- Executing userinit.sh"
busybox chmod +x /system/sd/userinit.sh
/system/bin/sh /system/sd/userinit.sh;
fi;

Hope this helps and I hope dwang makes this part of his custom_init script.

A2SD

Alright I flashed this ROM coming from Cyanogen's latest. However, when i try installing apps, the apps are installed on my phone. I do have 2 partitions on my sd card. I've read that this ROM does not work with ext4. How can i tell if that's what I have? And if it is, how can i convert back to ext3
[G1 Android Development] iflyabeech:
If it is installing them to your phone, you can bet you have ext4....Get the RA recovery and convert it to ext3, wipe...reflash and you should be good
[G1 Android Development] shusuke028:
You are correct, I did have ext4... but before I got ur reply, I just repartitioned my sd card so it would have ext2... I reflashed, however, it's still installing to the phone. Does this only work with ext3?

Edit: If Apps2SD isn't automatically working, could I just download A2SD from the market or would that affect phone performance or something?
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
Apps2sd is automatic so no need for that. Use ext3 for your partition and you'll be good to go.
[G1 Android Development] sychie:
question to dev of this ROM. Dwang - is there possibility to add more locales? ROM is THE BEST
[G1 Android Development] shusuke028:
Alright, that made me feel noobish lol. But I converted to ext3 and all seems to be well now. Love the ROM so far by the way. Exactly what I was looking for :D
[G1 Android Development] android_geoff:
you can download advanced launcher for donut in the marketplace, it will let you choose the number of homescreens

well regarding my data connecton and wi-fi problem, that was i was not available to connect to my gmail account to use the market, i formated my sd and flashed dwang's rom, :P and now everything works FINE !!!

this rom its awesome, its super fast :P i love it .
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
Don't sweat it we have all been there before :)
[G1 Android Development] vettejock99:
I know this has come up once or twice in the last hundred or so posts, but I'd really like to request that you add ext4 support. Though there are no definitive benchmarks, the consensus is that it has some performance benefits and this ROM ROCKS and I'd like to come back to it - that is the only reason I haven't yet. As always, regardless of your decision I say thanks for incredible dev work.
[G1 Android Development] muncknr:
This is my first post, but probably not my last. I recently installed Dwang's latest build and have a problem that I haven't seen being talked about in this thread. When I receive a text message, I get two notifications. One is the new style text icon you would expect, and then I also get the older 1.6 icon. I also get two vibrates, two sounds etc for each text.

I tried every setting change and have made it so that I only get one sound and vibrate, but that old style text notification comes every time I get a text, and will not go away when I read the text. I have to manually clear notifications every time and its annoying. Is this just a stupid setting I missed?
[G1 Android Development] brfsa:
Do you have any other SMS program installed or running?

Look in a Task Manager progtam. It will show what is running.

I use handcent and i disable all notifications from default android sms app. Handcent rocks for sms
[G1 Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
is there any place we can download the weather and news widget you have in this ROM to use in others?
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
You could just extract the GenieWidget.apk file and push it to /system/app on your current ROM.
[G1 Android Development] muncknr:
Thats the thing, i havent installed any programs like that. Its pretty annoying, im thinking of just wiping and reinstalling but i was hoping there was some other thing i could try.
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
That doesn't work, its not compatible with the new xrom build by JAC unfortunately :(
[G1 Android Development] muncknr:
I just started uninstalling apps one by one to see if something was doing it and it turns out, beautiful widgets was the culprit. i had pack two installed and after i uninstalled it the old notification icon stopped popping up. no idea why.

[G1 Android Development] beju69:
Hi everybody :)

Is this possible to upgrade kernel in this rom? I mean add some code by update.zip to have working Wired tether for root users.

Dwang - please, add this option to your rom. I will donate for it ;) or make two version - with and without this functionality.

I'll be gratefull.

Or...

Somebody have working update.zip with files that allows to work wired tether?

Oryginal update.zip don't pass splash logo - ever buttons don't glow.

Have a nice day :)
[G1 Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
i tried doing this, and it didn't work

both with adb and with the app installer on the phone
[G1 Android Development] ministersin:
It's the stock messaging app. This happens whenever you go with a second messaging app, regardless of the ROM.

Here's your solve:

Go to your applications menu and choose the Messaging icon. NOT the one you use (like Handcent or ChompSMS or whatever, but the one that says just "Messaging").

Go to setting and turn off Notifications.

Now you will only get notified by Handcent (or whatever you are using).
[G1 Android Development] Neuromansa:
I'm experiecing a weird behavior on 1.17.

Whenever I go to SD Card & Phone storage under Settings, the screen shows different values for phone storage. For example, I opened it like this morning and it was showing 55,80MB free space; I looked at it again 20 minutes ago and it showed 54,70MB (obviously no app was installed in the meantime, phone slept all the time).

Kinda awkward...could it be related to the linux-swap partition? Makes no sense at all since that partition is on the sd card, but it's the only thing I can think of...

Compcache Backing Swap?

Is it best to leave this ROM running without compcache backing swap? Are there any benefits to enable backing swap? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] sivaavis:
Swap

Hi,

coming from stable CM, this one runs great on my fone. I understand Compcache is enabled by default. I want to enable backing swap as well. Can someone help me please?
[G1 Android Development] Loccy:
I ran Compcache with backing swap briefly, on version 1.4, and it creaked after after a day or two of use. Personally I'm very much old school with my ROM settings - my dislike for BFS is well documented, and I'm not enormously convinced about Compcache either - the speed differential is (in my opinion) either non-existent or very very small, and it seems to absolutely eat my battery up to ridiculous levels (particularly when backing swap is enabled). So on my Dwang install, I just have 64Mb of conventional Linux swap, and Compcache off. Works like a Dream - fast and stable.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
Thanks for the input Loccy. I have one more question that maybe someone can answer. I am trying the /system/bin/renice_daemon.sh script out. It runs great from the terminal, but when run from userinit.sh as renice_daemon.sh & or /system/bin/sh /system/bin/renice_daemon.sh & it doesn't seem to run. If I run the same userinit.sh from an adb shell it runs just fine. Any thoughts?
[G1 Android Development] joseangel.alv:
I have seen the same behavior trying to change my settings using the file "userinit.sh", so the best I can tell you is that I've solved it changing directly the custom_init script in /system/bin...

It's not the best way, but it runs well :)

Caller ID bug?

I just installed this ROM on a "fresh" (ie new, rooted, otherwise untouched + brand new SD card) Vodafone Magic. Everything looks fine except when someone calls only the phone number shows up, not the name of the contact.

I remember CyanogenROM had this bug (v 4.0.1 through 4.0.3, solved in 4.0.4), had something to do with SQLsomething.

I installed CM 4.1.999 on this same Magic and caller ID shows up just fine.

Battery drain, I read in some posts about this.

This is a great rom. I did not have an ext3 partition, I thought this would help.

I was using the latest cyanogen before I flash this rom last week. I was not noticing the battery issue because it was resting most of the wekend, but yesterday and today. Same usage as when I was using cyanogen's. Even less apps, my batter is at 30% right now. Normally it would be around 50 to 60%.

Does the weather and News widget drain that much battery? I have weather widget on cyanogens'.

Any info would be great. Thanks.

This rom is fast even after prolong use, that is why I want to use it. The battery issue is a biggie. I was hoping it can last me a day with my light usage.
[G1 Android Development] lilithpro:
can confirm this, also on 1.17.1
[G1 Android Development] tudor00:
It is also my impression after several days of use. This build drains the battery a little more than earlier builds, but it is damn fast.
[G1 Android Development] jdedeaux:
Do any of the themes work with the 1.17 version?
[G1 Android Development] tudor00:
Have anybody heard of an app or patch to prevent android to close my opera mini - that is running in background - when it needs to free up RAM?
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
Can you push the /system/framework/ files from v1.15 to the current ROM and see if it makes a difference?

Its either the new kernel with the deadline scheduler or the stock donut framework files that might be causing the additional battery drain. There aren't really any other major changes (besides usb tethering, but I don't think that could cause it).

I carry a spare battery in my wallet at all times so I don't worry much about battery drain.

I personally really like v1.17.1 because the phone doesn't slow down at all over time. I've had it running without a reboot for a week and its still really fast. I don't want to make any modifications to change that behavior.

Dave
[G1 Android Development] lilithpro:
I noticed the drain, too, but then i went on and looked after possible widgets and programs and removed the weather widget. That and switching to 2G resulted in a really good battery performance, in the evening, the phone is down to about 60-65% with my normal use. I was at about 40% with other builds. 3G is not really needed for me, since my carrier only has UMTS, no HSDPA, so the difference between UMTS @ 384kbit and EDGE @256kbit is worth the longer standby.

And btw: the phone is fast and stays fast! thats what matters to me.

how can i remove the weather and news app?
[G1 Android Development] rpesigan6:
use root explorer and get into / system/ app. and remove it.

Which SPL are you using? I updated a friend's G1 to 1.17.1 + Darkstar, and had the exact same issues as you, until I realized he was running the stock SPL (never occurred to check it). Basically this means there was enough room to install the ROM, but not enough for the theme on top of it, so it got sent into a boot loop...

GTalk Mobile Indicator not working!

Hi guys,

This is rom is super fast... and I love it. I do however have a problem. When I only online with GTalk on my phone, the contacts do not see me as I am mobile (the Android symbol on their chat clients). It shows as though I am online like on a pc or something. The Android symbol is not displayed for them. Is anyone else seeing the same?

I would not care much but my contacts think that I am online and I am ignoring them, and I have to explain to them that I am on my phone.

This is weird, but is there a fix for this?

I have the Mobile Indicator in the settings in GTalk checked as well.
