[G1 Android Development] Janis:
Chiming in

I did the "broad spectrum solution" (love that) just before 4.11.1, and flashed 4.12.2 directly over that.

I can't use fix_permissions in Terminal, either.

I have had several magic reboots, but not while I'm doing anything. Notably, while I'm not doing anything. Wasn't using the PowerControl widget, but I was using a different widget that does the same thing. I had TMobile Account, but I've known it to be problematic, and it runs uselessly a lot, so I ditched it, again. Even without that, I got a couple right after rebooting, before I even got a chance to swipe my pattern. I've tried losing all the widgets, no bueno, so it's not those for me. I don't see it happening when I'm plugged in, but I haven't been checking my "since last boot" stats, either. I'll start. If anyone has any insights or disoveries on this, I'm all ears.

I just tried charging my battery with the phone off after recalibrating; let it die a 2nd time. This time off it took about 1h 15m. This morning it took 3h 20m with nothing on except 0% backlight, which is longer than any ROM I've used yet. It was steady, though. I started using the phone at 80% (had to), and it didn't seem to make a dent in the charging at all. All in all, though, really slow charging.

The battery readings seem wokny. I'm using Battery Graph, and the big, nearly vertical, 10-20% drops I've seen are happening when I'm not using my phone, or maybe when I'm turing it on to use it and it hasn't registered right for the last , uh, 15 minutes? It looks like something intensive is happening with the phone in standby, but only occasionally. This is after running it all the way down, and a few reboots. For anyone who's interested, there's a file attached. For example, right now my green light is on (while charging), and all the battery apps, including Spare Parts are saying 96%.

I have had a few acore FCs and a couple system crashes (error popup that says something to the effect of "system not responding" or "system has f-ed itself" I just don't remember, then it shuts down to black screen and loads Launcher.apk fresh). I do get a pretty consistent acore fc/w right before or right after my fc/w for Advanced Launcher on bootup.

Good for me:

I haven't had a gapps error message yet.

I can always use my notification bar, even with four or five notifications in it (reminders & stuff, mostly), using 4 slots with BarControl, an invincibly annoying Locale emasculated turkey baster in my face 24/7, and 2 USB notifications.

I haven't had any trouble with Autostarts, and I'm not having any apps run that I'm not expecting. One of the first things I do when I wipe is get Autostarts and shut down the Amazon MP3 app (If I'm gonna buy it, I'm gonna get the whole thing, not just the middle hacked-up hunk. Sorry.) I have to say though, I'm happy that Swapper is finally actually starting at bootup. It never has for me before.

Apps seem to have less trouble getting a GPS read. I can't explain it, but GPS Status always, always gets a read within seconds of starting, in the basement, when it's snowing. Maps sometimes takes a bunch of seconds, and Locale, frankly, sucks at it. But the whole process has been great for me on this build.

Market DL's are reliable and speedy. I was having some trouble with 4.11.1, but that went away (I thought it was the servers, lots of connection errors, etc.). I just have to make sure I'm connected to GTalk or my DL's will stall (erhem).

My Tracks works just fine for me AFAIK. I've recorded, but no one in their right mind is driving around here right now, so I haven't really tested it except to walk across the house.

This is so much way fastester than 4.11.1.
