Useless....

I suspect this is what you've read, and deliberately didn't paste the source of your information, because there is nothing even close to your claim written over there.
[G1 Android Development] Janis:
THe only thing I've found to completely wipe everything off and start fresh is to flash DREAIMG from bootloader (Hboot). It'll give you the old bootloader/SPL, the old recovery.img, radio.... all of it. It's a little like changing residences when all you want is a clean house. I would think there's another, easier, more advanced way to blanket blast the whole phone, but I've needled the forum, and I haven't had anyone respond with a better method. Maybe someone will now.

I don't know if anyone has put together a pre-rooted, DevSPL, 1.4+ recovery, defanged ROM version of DREAIMG (or whatever), but that would take a lot of steps out of an already crazy-making situation.

Try posting in Q&A, people there are more receptive to stuff like this there.

Home-Screen switching very lagggy, slow.....

Hi all, i had 4.2.9 and 4.2.12.x installed on my 32B device, what really sucks is the delay my device faces when for example switching from market back to the home screen, can take 5 seconds or more, you really can watch the device building up the home screen, first background, then icon by icon.

That really drives me crazy.....Am I the only one with this behaviour???

I have not done the swap stuff, like partitioning the SD card, may this be the reason, but I remember that this was not a MUST for this ROM, right?

Cheers

Norbert, many thanks for helpful feedback!

Apps2SD help

Hi,

I have re-partioned my sd card because i wanna use the apps2SD package. I created a first partion(formatted fat32 6GB) and a second partition(formatted ext2 2GB), then i have wiped my phone, installed my packages again but thats have not installed on the ext2 partition thats installed on the internal storage. Why? What can i do?

EDIT: I have no problem, i was the source of the problem. :) Thats installed to the ext2 partition.

Stop being a childish asshole here. Grow up or get the F outa here.
[G1 Android Development] wagz:
I think this is probably a good thing for this ROM. The last few updates have had a lot of issues due to the sheer number of bleeding edge features that came along with the bug fixes. Cynaogen will probably continue working on this rom, but will probably get more excitement and personal payback with his new N1 like any good techy who gets an inspiring new piece of equipment and therefore will spend less time on this one. I'm guessing that will probably translate in longer time in between updates and more bugfixes rather than every new feature under the sun, because just like any company, he'll probably transition into more of a maintenance mode when faced with less time to devote to the g1.

So you might not get every feature out there, but the updates should introduce a high level of stability across the board instead of them constantly sitting on the very edge. I'm guessing the next update or two will be chocked full of features, then we'll see more of a drop off. And frankly that's great because it balances things a little bit. :)

Anyway, thanks for the ROMs Cyanogen!

*On a side note, I got my N1 last week and it really is an amazingly fun phone. I thought being a loyal hardware keyboard guy with a healthy disdain for soft keyboards was going to be an issue since I live on my phone for work, but I'm happily surprised to be wrong. I can't type as fast, but can still type just fine once you get used to it and since going into lanscape mode on this thing is instantaneous for bigger keys it makes the soft keyboard experience more useable. I just mentioned that since some G1 users are probably on the fence over this issue. And because of the processor, it's like having all the performance and low latency we've come to expect out of custom roms only, but without the need to have a custom ROM or maintain one. Two thumbs up Nexus One :)

Anyway, it's been fun, but I shall now turnover my G1 to my friend and get him off ATT.
[G1 Android Development] skrki:
That's cool too! I personally don't care for that, my ext is usually manually backed up (since I'm on Linux I can easily access my phone's EXT), and I only do an occasional nandroid.. So, what I've said was a "to my best knowledge" kinda thing, and also taking into consideration that BART still gives a few more options than nandroid. Which one you will use, depends solely on what you want to do with your data! :) I'm sure Amon_RA is more up-to-date with this stuff, so I'd definitely take his word for it.

I user the "Alarming!" alarm clock, its really nice, very similiar to the normal clock but with more options (volume slowly increase. on alarm and lots more) and has none of the issues of the other clock.
[G1 Android Development] shata:
I Dont mind to many new features as long as you know wer get a good stable release with no bugs like problems i have right now. I support cyanogen and dont blame him wanting to dev n1.

I do have another question can i flash the previous release without problems or do i have to take any precauctions before doing this?
[G1 Android Development] Nickedynick:
Going back a bit, but thanks, seems to be working like a charm! I was on the CM recovery before, otherwise I would've thought of this - now on shiny new Amon-RA :)

Also for anyone who's unsure about the restoring (there's no "Nandroid/ext" option), Nandroid restores ext if it finds that it's been backed up anyway.
[G1 Android Development] TU Homer:
Noob here...

I have Amon RA 1.5.2. Do you wipe using Alt+0? Then flash the 1.6 Android file, and then CM? That's all?

How do you restore your apps? Would they still be on your SD card, or would you have to restore them?
[G1 Android Development] Brajin:
If you are starting from scratch, all your apps will be gone. So you will have to download them off the market. In the future you can simply perform a nand+ext backup to back up your system.
[G1 Android Development] TU Homer:
No, I'm on 4.2.12.2. I've done a Nandroid+ext backup. I initially rooted on about 12/3/09, with 4.2.7.1, and progressed through the various CM loads. It's been great, but this last week or so, it's been real sticky, with a ton of FC issues. I've been reading the boards, and it sounds as if I just need to wipe, and reload.

Given that piece of information, wouldn't an Alt+0 wipe (Amon RA) be the right wipe? If so, would I also need to reflash HTC 1.6? I know I would reflash 4.2.11.1 afterwards, but I'm not sure about the "Google" apps/non-open stuff. Also, would I need to reload everything? Would the wipe eliminate all data but retain the partitions?

Last bit of info that might be pertinent; I didn't go to 4.2.12 or .12.1. I went from .11.1 to 12.2.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Have you tried clearing dalvik-cache and fix_permissions? What is giving you FC's?
[G1 Android Development] TU Homer:
Yeah, I clear dalvik-cache a couple times a week. Do the same with fix permissions, using the UID option in Amon RA. I also will use TA utility about once a week, just to be sure my apps2SD is clean.

I get FC on Google Scoreboard every time I access that app. But a ton on the Home, Chomps, Facebook, whatever I'm trying to access. Latest weird thing, my Weather Widget with clock isn't updating correctly as of yesterday. My clock on that widget only updates when I manually refresh. I'm lucky to get 20MB of memory from Advanced Task Manager. I used to get closer to 40. I find as I approach 20 or lower, my phone is really laggy. Gots to get it over 30 and closer to 40.

My ROM capacity is about 45MB, based on the T-Mobile Account apps. I'm using almost 30MB on that. Have about 75 external apps loaded.

Hoping a wipe will clean things back to where they were about 2 weeks ago. Phone was flying. Awesome functionality. Loving the .12.2 function, but have to get a better operating phone. Will wipe work? I'm willing to give it a try, but need to be sure I'm not breaking more than I'm fixing and get a solid understanding of my required steps and activities.

I'm going to watch some Dallas Cowboys and drink large quantities of Bridgeport IPA.
[G1 Android Development] smithfb3:
More Importantly, did you use a theme, sometime the themes cause unintended consequences. Other than than Alt-X, fix_permissions,

Try Wipe and reinstall CM4.2.12.2 and you should be golden.... hopefully.
[G1 Android Development] TU Homer:
No themes. Sorry, which wipe? Alt+0? Alt+2?
[G1 Android Development] smithfb3:
I wipe with ALT-0 and then reflash the CM ROM. Weird only time I mess up and get FC's is the Themes I like to flash.

Good luck.

FYI, I'm not an expert, I'm just like to tinker.

Unexpectedly Amazing Rollback 4.1.11.1->4.1.999->4.1.11.1

Here is my amazing experience with 4.1.11.1/4.1.999

Two days ago I've installed 4.1.999 on my 4.1.11.1 G1

(no wipe installation, no wipes since 4.0.4 installation)

after ~1 hour of playing and few FCs I've discovered that

CoPilot is not working anymore. Actually, the phone was a little bit

slower than on 4.1.111.1 (I know - wipe, clean install, etc. I just had no time to play with)

so I decided to go back to the "fast" (as I thought) and CoPilot friendly 4.1.11.1

I used Nandroid backup and ext3 tar archive I've made just before 4.1.999 to

return the phone to its previous state. (no wipe again)

The result is beyond any expectations !

Now my phone is not fast and stable anymore, it's LIGHTNING FAST and SUPER STABLE

- No FSc for 2 days, I mean at all

- immediate responce after pushing hard/screen buttons, typing, etc.

- super fast apps loading

- home screen (after closing app or after reboot) it just appears in a moment

I mean there is no "loading" or "redrawing" things, no delays - all the icons and widgets

appear at once in a moment.

- No problems with apps (stock or not),widgets (SD share, digital clock, call dock bar/pre cupcacke ver./, AudioManager, Weather widget), games (Doom, Prince of Persia, Meteor, Space War)

- No GPS/G3/WiFi/BT/Phone Problems

NO PROBLEMS AT ALL !

device conf:

T-Mobile G1

Firmware 1.6

Baseband 65.505.20.17U_2.22.19.261

Kernel 2.6.29.6_cm41

[Solved] slow, laggy

Have to confirm the fix for a slow and laggy system.

Upgrade your ext2 to ext4. This makes it from unusable slow and angry making laggy system (I went already back to 4.04 for that reason) to a lightning fast and comfortable system.

So, if slow. Go from ext2 to ext4

How to:

Search forum for "sdparted.txt"

Download "sdparted.txt" and safe it on root of sd card (standard browser isn't working to download this file. Download with steel or something else)

Power mobile off

Restart holding down home+power button

ALT+X

enter

Mount /sdcard

Mv /sdcard/sdparted.txt /sbin/sdparted

Chmod 755 /sbin/sdparted

Sdparted -ufs ext4

Reeboot

This action will not delete anything from your sd card. It just makes it FAST

Thanks to contributers.

[G1 Android Development] Janis:
Ext3 vs Ext4

I don't mean to be a pain in the hiney end, but how hard is it to find this?:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4

Cyanogen has seen the stuff on Ts'o's (cute, but spelled correctly) patches. I've been using Ext4 for a while. It works. It's faster. it'll be forward compatible, it's backward compatible. I don't see a reason not to use Ext4.

My 16gb class6 card went out just a couple days ago (s'okay, I get a free replacement from Microcenter) after way too many reformats & partitionings (no, that's not really a word), and swapping for forever. The odd thing is that until the very end, my apps on sd and swap partitions were fine, but my Fat32 partition started the crash. What seemed to happen in WinMo for me (6 cards), and this time on Android is that a sector or two go(es) out and a file can't be read, then a whole folder, then another folder, and they can't be copied, either. Then it just crumbles like a sand castle with the tides coming in. So, heads up, if you can't read a file, or you start getting card errors, stop using the card and do a backup fast, like two minutes ago. Even then you might end up with holes in your backup.

If you're worried about read/writes, though, from what I've read, it appears that Ext3 would use up your card a wee bit faster, too, vs. Ext4.

BTW, This ROM has apps2sd automated. To expect people who are loading it to test it without any apps is silly. To expect us to identify the problem app is perfectly reasonable. If you are having problems, you are testing an experimental ROM (unless it's clearly stated that it's stable), which means you are taking on the responsibility to identify the problem and share what you've tried to solve it or that you can't get it to work, or stop testing. Hopefully I'm not being as bossy as the guy I'm griping about, but so often in these forums we (myself included) jump in without understanding our role in the discussion. In short, this is a forum for contribution, not consumption, at least until 4.2:D

Sorry I should of been more clear. I mean the Home screens. I should have 5 Home screens two left one center and two right

[G1 Android Development] Janis:
K, No need to quote my tomes in their entirety, just hack out the middle or PM me, and then post the solution if you think others might be interested.

Try this (I searched for "Ext3" in post titles in the XDA Dream Dev forum):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=543985&highlight=Ext3

I used The Partition Editor in Ubuntu (GParted). I'm loving Ubuntu, even though I haven't yet made the full transition from Windoughs yet.
[G1 Android Development] bkmo:
This should be what you are looking for, but I would do it at the console prompt of the recovery console.

umount /system/sd
set -e
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Or you can use my modded RA-Dream-1.2.2 Recovery image to do it from a menu. In this recovery there is a second menu that is available by typing "u" at the console prompt in recovery. One menu item is to convert ext3 to ext4.

[G1 Android Development] |Logic|:
Alright my bad on the big quote
[G1 Android Development] RAQemUP:
Reboot to the recovery console. Type in these commands without quotes:

"su"

"parted /dev/block/mmcblk0"

"print"

That should show you all your partitions and what they are in the File System column. I don't know if you can downgrade a partition from ext 4 to 3, 3 to 2 etc. If you can't just delete the partition in question. The first column shows the number of each partition. The partition that is File System fat32 holds all your phone data so that should be ignored. The partition that is File System ext2, ext3, or ext4 is what you want to look at. Make a note of that partition's Start size and End size.

While in the parted command line, type in this command without quotes:

"rm #"

# is the number of the partition you want to remove. I repeat, do not delete the fat32 partition as that is what holds all your data. The ext partition would be what holds your apps2sd info of course.

To rebuild the partition, type in this commands without quotes:

"mkpartfs primary ext2 X Y"

X would be the Start size and Y would be the End size we noted earlier. This should make a brand new ext2 partition. If you want to upgrade ext2 to ext3 type in this command while in the parted command line without quotes:

"upgrade_fs"

Type in this command without quotes while in the parted command line to make sure everything is correct:

"print"

To exit out of the parted command line, type in these commands without quotes:

"quit"

"reboot" or "reboot console" depending on if you want to reboot your phone back to the recovery console or not.

Wow that post was much longer then I intended to make it. heh

I don't know if that's such a great idea. Whenever I flash that, my battery life takes a severe hit, as it apparently prevents the phone from sleeping properly (with Stericson's my battery use when locked is about 50% sleeping/50% idle, and 90% sleep/10% idle without it).
