i have noticed one thing that could be a residual bug in google sync. when i delete messages from the gmail app inbox they stay in my actual google inbox. no big deal but still perhaps a bug.
[G1 Android Development] neatchee:
The IM app was actually removed by Cyanogen (and WG bases his build off of CM) because he polled his IRC channel and the majority of people said they didn't use the built-in IM application. He did it to save space on the system partition.
[G1 Android Development] neatchee:
Tried. No luck. Apps2SD still not working on Build Y.
[G1 Android Development] Cobra281:
what's the difference between CFS with ramhack and BFS with ram hack? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
eh? It works better than CM greatly

so many differences to really make a great community wide suggestion-based work

I am trying to do by request - CM makes feature changes but nothing many people have wanted or abilities to increase speed that CM has not implemented yet

Plus the new ROM is built from scratch with faster 3G/EDGE speeds in Build 8

Check it out
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
its in /system/bin/firstboot

Send me your boot script (usually /system/bin/a2sd)

I am working on a project of building my speed into Hero

Do me a favor and reach out to the Devs about what I can do for them
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
lol for system/apps use build for 7.5 (dont flash it, just the /system/bin/firstboot (no .sh)

The data/apps script is in /system/etc/init.d/06zipalign

Before you do it check out the changes in init.d for more speed

Review from a Build 8 BETA Tester

You guys are going to L-O-V-E Build 8!!! I have been using Android since 2 months before it was released (you know when there was all of 12 apps in Market LOL) and never found a build I like more. It is CRAZY fast and COMPLETELY stable!

For reference:

I tested it on my G1. I went straight from CM 4.2.3.1 (as it is the last CM build I found to be fully stable) with no wipe. I am NOT running the "DangerSPL". I am running about 563MB EXT2 and approximately 128MB of SWAP. It took between 10-11 minutes for 1st boot and was ready to go.

@wesgarner - Thanks for your hard work on this project
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
interested in build 8. 4.2.7.1 is a great speed boost from 4.2.6, so im interested to see if its this build or cyan's eclair stuff 'under the hood'
[G1 Android Development] PlzHELP!:
So.. if i dont want the google apps how do i remove it? Because in CM 4.2.7.1 i couldnt type any numbers in terminal...
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Thanks for the responses. I can't wait to see what Build 8 has for us. I keep checking the thread like a crackhead looking for his next fix! lol

Beta tester impressions

The version 8 of this rom is very fast, so far without any sign of trouble, did the update starting from version 7.5 with no wipe, however, there was a crash on the first boot, he was caught in the lock screen, the reboot was necessary and all then it was perfect.

Testing various apps without any FC so far.

The graphics are very good.

A strange thing happened to my computer during the command "ADB logcat", when the device switch to the second boot screen, rebooted my desktop instantly, several tests with the same result.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
You dont install swap when you partition your sd in recovery mode you select size of swap partition, you should be running Amon_Ra 1.4 by now if not then get too it.Swap puts non-sys apps onto sd as like for ex. fake ram.So it speeds up the rom and phone.
[G1 Android Development] Jamdat33:
Ok, I'm going to update to the latest, but when I installed cyanogen it automatically did A2SD after I did the oneclick ext2 addition in the recovery. Now, when I install the new recovery image, what do I input into the console screen to set my swap partition to 128. I'm running with a 4gb card with 400mb free
[G1 Android Development] ninjabyte:
Ah, I'm chompin at the bit waiting to try this out.

Installed build 8, but I'm running into that mysterious 'Google Partner Apps' FC from earlier. I'm going to flash dwang and flash build 8 again, hopefully that'll fix it.
[G1 Android Development] djluis48:
Wow, tons of updates on this new build...can't wait till the release....

Question: Have someone installed themes on this ROM? I can't...Cm updater dosnt show any themes if I check for updates, only 2 Enoch fixes, but nothing more....
[G1 Android Development] thierrz:
The ROM seems OK, please upload it, can't wait:)
[G1 Android Development] ninjabyte:
He's workin out a few bugs, even this early in the morning ;-)

And yeah, reflashing Dwang -> Build 8 fixed the Google Partner Apps FC for me.

[G1 Android Development] iB4STiD:
great rom!!.. only problem i noticed and this happens within cyans rom too.. is somtimes when scrolling thro app in launcher it freezez up and you have to wait a couple of secondes to flick up or down thro your apps, also noticed that when launcher is flicked up the animations stutter a bit. small little thing i noticed.. im using the cfs no ram hack build btw
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
are you using swap? if not, thats probably why. mines used to do that too, on wg and cm, but i set swappiness with the app "DroidSwap", and the launcher runs smooth no hesitation.
[G1 Android Development] Fausty:
Not so happy with the build Y compared to 10.2. In build Y, I sometimes get a black screen and got to wait for few seconds before it comes back. Home screen takes also some time to load.

I tried BFS with no hack and now using CFS with no hack (always been using without the hack).

Has anyone noticed the same problem?
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
they are different cpu schedulers, cfs is stable and bfs is mostly a lot faster but a little less stable. i personally use bfs with no problems.
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
I used to feel the same way you do....10.2 is amazing, I still have it on my switchrom backup ready to flash anytime something goes wrong on this one;)

But I haven't had a problem with build YR1 every since I wiped my sdcard clean and flashed from scratch...im running CFS w/ ramhack. Its marvelous.
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
build y 2

Ok personally this rom is pissong me off. too slow. think I found the problem in the framework. it will be fixed plus audio problems, any other bugs or ideas?
[G1 Android Development] rsp35:
when booting up my phone, i get the error: "process system is not responding." is there a reason for this? i usually just hit "wait" and that'll do it. other than that, this has been working alright for me (CFS w/ Ram hack).
[G1 Android Development] magote:
Double post, sorry!
[G1 Android Development] magote:
To go from cyano's ROM to this one, do I need to wipe, or I can flash with no wipe?

And should I try BFS ou CFS? What are the main differences?

Ty!
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
it works.. its just not working for you. Big difference
[G1 Android Development] alongenemylines:
Hey Wes, random idea here, but would keeping contacts.apk in memory help incoming call lag? Sometimes my phone will ring almost until it goes to voicemail before the caller id is even displayed.
[G1 Android Development] rjhay22:
Ive been reading the post, but I don't have the answer, whats the difference between BFS and CFS? So I can decide which to use, or does it have a difference at all? Pardon my ignorance :) Hoping for a response. thanks! and Keep up the good work. - NEVERMIND! someone already answered this question. LOL

Actually I have two other people who it's not working for. Both on 32B. Which, according to Wes is normal. So...yah :D
[G1 Android Development] h.nocturna:
I have a question for you: why can't we keep the entire dalvik-cache folder on /data/? I've modded your apps2sd script in /system/etc/init.d/ so that all the files are not moved on to /system/sd/ and I still have like 30MB free on the /data/ partition; it seems like it should be plenty for whatever. This is with 123 applications installed and I haven't noticed a large difference, but technically it should be faster, no?
[G1 Android Development] nopotential:
Hello, I searched a bit but couldn't find the answer to this question. I did a clean install of the build y r1 bfs and there arnt any notification ringtones to choose from. Is there some command I have to run to copy a ringtone from my sd card to the phones internal memory so I can use it as a notification ringtone? Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] inuyasha84:
I've got black screen, audio and general slowness problems too. In addition, it looks like contacts sync doesn't work well (I've found myself with no contact at all twice, never happened before this ROM). Also once I found my home menu not showing up (then I had a black screen that forced me to reboot).

[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
You thought about taking a crack at the new lockscreen for your roms? Do something real custom that will make your Wes ROMS stand out on their own? Just a thought.
[G1 Android Development] veda_sticks:
You didnt happen to come from a hero build and install the gapps fix update?? this happend to me after installing a few udpates and im sure gapps fix caused this.

If sinse went back to sense hero then isntalled this rom after doing a complete wipe and everything is back to normal.
[G1 Android Development] whample:
It's a neat rom and I like where you're going. After a few days, though, I think I'm going to need to wander off. Keeping a strong eye on it, though.
[G1 Android Development] Fausty:
BTW, I wiped it clean before going to Y and did a reboot couple of times (to zipalign all my apps).

Went back to 10.2 and it's much faster (sorry Wes) without any wipe. In both case I'm on CFS no ramhack. (tries Y with BFS no hack but same problem than CFS) with a MyTouch.
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
Just wanted to say I am having this same issue. I read about a script and autostart program to help with it but have not tried anything. Today it vibrated 4 times, then screen came on to the "lock" screen then rang, then showed the call screen with what had to be no time left before it would have rolled to voice mail.
[G1 Android Development] hoyitzpnoiboi:
Wes

Despite the many complaints i think the y.r1 bfs w hack build is great. i came off of wg build 8.5 and this is much better. I gave it a fresh install after wiping my phones as$ yet i still experienced alot of the issues ppl are having. but im now using taskiller rather than advanced task manager and the stock messaging app rather than handscent and everything now is working silky smooth. only thing is i notice rapid battery drain. thanks for all your hard work
[G1 Android Development] inuyasha84:
P.S. Things seem much better with overclock widget, are you sure cpu frequency policies are ok?
[G1 Android Development] linuxluver:
Try Build 10.2

Try Build 10.2, then see what you think of Build Y R1. Build Y is a work in progress. :-)

Build 10.2 was 'golden'....on my HTC Magic. A great mix of function and speed. Can't think of a ROM that beats it....especially as CM's ROMs seem to be slowing down a bit the more Eclair he includes in them. The sweet spot there may have been CM v4.2.5 or maybe v4.2.8.
[G1 Android Development] techjosh:
Been lovin build YR1 BFS w/Ram Hack since it came out...

My suggestion, and this is something I've been doing myself, is that you odex the /system/framework/*.jar files and remove the classes.dex files from the jars afterwards. This will prevent those files from appearing in /data/dalvik-cache (or /data/system-cache) and basically transfer free space from your /system partition to your /data partition.

In fact, after a bit of playing I was able to odex all my /system/app/*.apk files as well and now have no need for the /data/system-cache folder.

I am using the Danger spl though... so you might not be able to odex all the files... you could use a script that would odex as many files as it can until it runs out of space. I've attempted something like that below...

for dex in $( ls -1AS /data/dalvik-cache/system@app@*.apk@classes.dex ); do
apk=$(echo ${dex#/data/dalvik-cache} | tr "@" "/");
apk=${apk%/classes.dex};
odex=`echo $apk | sed -e 's/.apk/.odex/g'`;
echo "ODEXing system apk file $apk";
dexopt-wrapper $apk $odex;

# if we fail we need to remove the odex file.
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Success!";
rm $dex;
else
echo "!!! Failed to ODEX system apk: $apk";
rm $odex;
fi;
done;

That script should odex the files in the size order, largest first. That should provide the most free space on the /data partition as possible until space on the /system partition runs out. Of course it relies on the system apps already being dexopted which I think you pre dexopt them in your build so that script may work in firstboot (haven't tried it though).

Right now I have 43 apps installed, I don't have A2SD so all the user apps are on the /data partition. Here is my "df"

/

dev: 53180K total, 12K used, 53168K available (block size 4096)
/sqlite_stmt_journals: 4096K total, 0K used, 4096K available (block size 4096)
/system: 92160K total, 90240K used, 1920K available (block size 4096)
/data: 91904K total, 59936K used, 31968K available (block size 4096)
/cache: 30720K total, 2820K used, 27900K available (block size 4096)
/sdcard: 15654912K total, 8351552K used, 7303360K available (block size 32768)

Anyways feel free to ignore this if you don't like it... Great work as always. I'm looking forward to see what innovations emerge in your rom.

[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
Personnaly i find this faster then 10.2 and i have had less problems then 10.2 but thats just my personal opinion also i found updating to wysie's latest contacts.apk fixed the lag here but once again it's my personal opinion.

Also like Wesgarner said in previous posts don't forget to clear cache peeds up the phone again. I suggest cachemate works good :)
[G1 Android Development] TheGenesis:
Although no one could/want probably help me I´ve fixed nearly any issues with this (my first) flash.

Wes ... thank you for your great work!

I´m running your "YR1 BFG No RamHack" on my litte G1 and although I installed a hundred off apps, everything is totally running smooth (only with DroidSwap) and Battery drain is still within normal range.

But ... perhaps anybody can tell me, why I can´t connect to my FTP-Server via FFPT since I moved away from the original Firmware ?

Thx in advance

[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
In my case, CM v4.2.7.1 was the sweet spot, loved it. No problems,speed was good, my G1 was in the most stable condition its ever been since I first learned to root my phone a year ago! I kept that rom on bart backup, flashed it then flashed CM 4.2.12.2 over it and everything is great. Same outstanding speed and stability. I think thats the key to cyan roms, you have to flash and flash til you find the version that works best for you, once you got it, save it. Then let a few updates pass you by, go play around with a wes or hero rom or something, then go back to that cm rom you saved and flash the latest cyan update over top of it and everything is candy.:D
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
I honestly cannot for the life of me recreate half these problems others are having. I have newest radio and Danger SPL to start.

I have no reboots... I have no battery problems.. My phone is on all day long. I do not use Overclock or swap.. I did not wipe my EXT berforehand.

Calls come through after half a ring....

Bu then I see all these other people that are having the same problems because they either refuse to wipe or are scared they cant read properly to flash a new radio and SPL.

Ive been running WG builds since he first and havent turned back. Every phone is different. But its insane when you blame a program for you not reading the instructions or skipping steps.

Im on CFS/ramhack. Whats funny, is it seems like most of the problems are with BFS.. which is already unstable.. but everyone keeps using it.

One thing I do notice since I just turned on Overclock and swapper for the first time on this rom.. I cannot get swapper to keep a swap open. No metter what I do in what order, IF I reboot, swap is gone.. And if I leave swapper and come back swap is off. Oh well. Its not needed at all
[G1 Android Development] rrsaylor:
an eternity is right been waiting about 15 mins on the second reboot. think imma wipe and reinstall.

does this need partition or no partition?
[G1 Android Development] Skynet2Mainframe:
I am the same, have had no problems atall had a reboot twice but thats it, battary is the best iv seen on android.

Im runing:

Y.R1 cfs wit ram hack

with 10.2 inc advanced launcher and international maps

How i got this: Do a nand + ext, wipe data, wipe dalvik, wipe sd:ext, wipe battery, wipe rotate settings.

flash new rom boot into it, lett everything sync and load, reboot, go to market go to downloads download all my aps taks about 10-15 min, once done reboot, Perfect rom. Every time. done this with all wes builds and never had any problems peple are having. :)
[G1 Android Development] prizzlle:

Hi is it normal for the first boot of wg build Yr1 take longer than 30 min?

Thanks.

[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
You either did not wipe or got a bad download of the rom. You have to wipe everything before installing to be safe.

Even from full wipe without touching my Ext partiton it only took 2 min to boot first time.

Swapper on WG build

Swap is already enabeled is the ROM. Using an app like swapper is not the best idea. It will slowly take out your SD.

[G1 Android Development] tshizzle:
i dont think so...you probably did something wrong along the lines of flashing.

try goin through all the steps over again.
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
You really spend 15 mins downloading all your apps back? Your patience is better than mines....if you use RA-dream-recovery-1.5.... whatever.....all you have to do is go to console, type utility, hit enter, a list will come up, choose option 4(i think) and it will back up all your apps to sdcard...then wipe everything like you said data, ext, dalvik etc. Flash your new rom. Then before loading it, go back to console into utility and choose the option to put apps on sdcard back into ext. Reboot, and there you have it, all your apps are right back in place when the rom loads up, no need for 15 mins of clicking in the market, the most you'll have to do is update if there are any.

But then again, I have about 279 apps installed:D

so its probably best for me, if you only got like 50 apps or so then just re-download in the market
[G1 Android Development] djluis48:
Hm....i dont like this option too much, because the OS write some files on the EXT parition, and if you back up, install OS, and then restore your previous EXT, you might resotre some old files of the last OS, and that might slow down the phone, thats is supposing that all your apps are zipaligned, if not, its going to slow down your phone even more...i recommend to w8 some mins, and have a faster and more stable phone...im telling you this cuz i used to do things that way...:D
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
lol your right. didnt notice that going from 10.2 to to y because 10.2 did not have it.
[G1 Android Development] agentkalaw:
Has anyone noticed slower 3G speeds? I can't seem to see the improvement that T-mobile has done. I know WG tweaked some stuff for the build.prop to make 3g throughput faster so I was wondering if that could be the reason.
[G1 Android Development] sullitf:
I had noticed this too, but was wondering if it was actually a slowdown in the browser itself rather than the 3G connection. I haven't noticed any particular slowdown in any other 3G-heavy applications like Pandora. It would be harder to notice a slowdown in something like Pandora, but it really does seem like my browser will just catch at random times and hang for 10 or 15 seconds without doing anything.

[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
This is more a cyan "bug" than Wes, but since Wes is built off Cyan, you sometimes get the bug as well. Honestly, it is hit or miss. Sometimes they come through no problem, other times they never show up and I only find out about them when said female asks me why I didn't say anything about the picture. That sucks ass when your biddy sends you something and it don't come through.
