It has been confirmed that the ADB issue is limited to the RamHack versions, I'm currently working w/ Ben to hopefully find a solution.
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
how do we know if we have the new or old market? I personally dont think I ever had the new market...as I heard on the new one you could buy apps and pay through your service provider...or google account...mines only gives me the option to pay through google account. Does it matter what type of plan you have? Prepaid or Postpaid?
[G1 Android Development] jweezy92:
whos ready for 1.6 besides me lol
[G1 Android Development] :
We all are but we would rather see a rom that is fully functional and wait a few days rather than act like that annoying kid in the back seat of a car that keeps asking 'Are we there yet?'

:D
[G1 Android Development] :
Goto setting, applications, manage applications. Scroll down to market and click on it, top left you will see version number. Mine is version 1620.
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
Ok..yeah mines is 1620 too, thanks..still has an old icon though, of course I dont know what the new icon should like, so I guess its not old to me!:)
[G1 Android Development] sombionix:
Mine says 1660. Is this the old version? What is the difference between 1660 and 1620?
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
Hmmm? I would think that 1660 is newer than 1620...i dont know, im goin look into this some more
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
Ok...After reading this http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Market-Applications-Help/New-Payment-Option-for-Android-Market-Purchases/m-p/287392;jsessionid=7D7AB1233085877177D5E2700AEEDABF

I confirmed that 1660 is true indeed newer than 1620...but not the newest,

it looks as if 1670 should be the new one for Dream...(1710 for Nexus)

But its all speculation, if someone can confirm let me know.

And what do I need to do to get this update?

Coming from WG Build 10.2 and this rom is just as fast, if not faster! Whoo.

Anyway I was just wondering the general consensus of using swap/compache in this rom? I had both turned off in Wg Build, and this rom seems to default with both on. So yeah whats the fastest in you guys' opinion?
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
Personally, I haven't tried swap on this rom, I re-partition my card without a swap ext, and have not turned on cc since I flashed it and its super fast...so I think this one works fast both ways, just a good dam rom, wg 10.2 is awesome as well.
[G1 Android Development] runderekrun:
Yeah I am trying to disable swap now... how do I do it on this rom? I tried pushing a user.conf but that doesn't seem to be working. Maybe I need to put it in a different place?
[G1 Android Development] paulzaplitny:
just wanted to say i absolutely love this rom. had an issue flashing the first time. as mentioned by a few i got stuck on g1 screen after wipe and flash. went back to another rom then flashed without wipe and worked beautifully.
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
Did you put it in /system/sd/ ?

If not, try that.
[G1 Android Development] runderekrun:
Yeah that's where I have it now, reboot and swap still active... Hmm...
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
Then I would try double checking your user conf. settings...should look something like this:

#compcache related parameters
compcache{
compcache_en=1	# enable(1) or disable(0) compcache
cc_disksize=32	# Ram swap disksize - any number between 1 to 95 should work
cc_memlimit=24	# Limit the memory usage for backing swap (cc .5x known issue-defaults to 15% of total RAM)
cc_backingswap_en=0	# enable(1) or disable(0) backing swap
cc_backingswap=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3	# pointing to the backingswap partition device
cc_swappiness=40 # default 60
}

#create swap file for compcache or linux swap
swap_file{
swap_file_en=0	# set to 1 to create swap file
# set to 0 to del the swap file
linux_swap_file_size=64	# swap file size in MB
linux_swap_file=/system/sd/swapfile	# pointing to the swap file location ( must be /system/sd/)
}

#Linux swap parameters
#
# linux swap can only be enabled if cc_backingswap_en is set to "0"
#
linux_swap{
linux_swap_en=0	# enable(1) or disable(0) linux swap
linux_swap_partition=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 # swap partition device
swappiness=30 # default 60
}
[G1 Android Development] runderekrun:
Yeah everything is off in my aswell.
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
Thats wierd?:confused:

and you are absolutely sure swap is still active? How do you know?
[G1 Android Development] runderekrun:
When I run the command 'free' it shows the swap drive as being active and currently having 20 megs taken up.

Hm, used the updater to update to 1.9.3 w/ RH. Swiping between homescreens is choppy as hell... maybe I need to wipe or something to smooth that out. Didn't have time though and don't see any compelling reasons to update so I nandroided back to 1.9.2. Anybody else experience this?
[G1 Android Development] lordofsilence:
This issue has been around since the release of 1.7 I believe,it happens once in a while and just try to open it again and it will work just fine.
[G1 Android Development] CyddVicious:
Yeah, GTalk works great other than the FC, no messages are lost and it stays logged in. Other than GTalk FC/Maps blank square, this rom is blazing fast and works great; my phone hasn't been this quick since Cyan 4.0.4.

Thanks for this great rom guys!
[G1 Android Development] SimPRoBer20:
I just updated w/o wipe from Super D 1.9.2 blk nexus. Im using Super D 1.9.3 NH Blk Nexus.

So far no problems, i can agree to the fact that some home screen transitions are slighty choppy (I emphasize slightly!!) 3d games look and feel very good. Im still waitn to upgrade to a nexus one or desire (or anything with similar spec here in the states) toonwarz plays surprisingly quick its lack of true multi touch.

Id also like to add that whatever ben did to the build.prop to change the 3g. In my opinion 1.9.2 had quicker load times.

Other than that this rom is everything I expected for an update.
[G1 Android Development] deaffob:
Is there a menu where I can create submenu and change number of home screens?
[G1 Android Development] skyundersea:
No, that is only available with Advanced Launcher. You can push that onto the phone though.
[G1 Android Development] Jaivee:
good to see im not the only one who sees this.
[G1 Android Development] cmg1:
Yes, I have the same problem. For me it only happens with an adb shell command.

Using Nexus/Black/Ramhack version.
[G1 Android Development] torchedlh:
I have a couple noob questions (this will be my first time rooting/flashing) that may or may not be relevant to this ROM. But I thought it would be best to post the questions here in one thread rather than in several others or creating my own. I plan on using Amon's Recovery Image.

Is it best to partition SD card (with ext4) before or after flashing this ROM?

Do most people run a swap with this ROM? (I'm having trouble more information about swap).

Is there any point in running Nandroid to backup the phone before flashing this ROM? From what I understand I can only run Nandroid after I've flashed the DangerSPL, correct?

Thanks in advance and sorry to sidetrack your thread OP.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
You partition before you flash the rom and you don't need ext4 for this rom. Ext 2 and 3 work just fine although you can try 4 if you want. I use 96mb swap because I like to just let everything run and not kill tasks a lot. If you use a task killer a lot then the best route is no swap and just the ext2/3/4 for app2sd and fat32 for everything else.
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
These should be in the Q and A forum as they are mainly about Donut in general and not SuperD, but I'm nice (and usually patient).

Partition prior to installing build (order goes Fat32, EXT3, Swap [if you even want a swap]) FYI: EXT4 is actually slower than ext3, so use ext3 instead

For this build (and most donut builds in general), 32MB CompCache is way preferable to using a swap partition, as it doesnt use your SLOW microsd card instead as ram. Swap is really only needed for Eclair and Hero builds, imo

There is ALWAYS a point to nandroiding before installing ANY build, just in case.

Yes, DangerSPL must be installed prior to anything or your nandroids wont be good anymore (from my experience)
[G1 Android Development] weetabix1980:
great rom only contacts wont sync. Manual sync doesnt work either
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
No issue here syncing, hate to ask but did you wipe? If so, try clearing your google apps cache [Settings -> Manage Apps -> Google Apps], relogin, and try and sync again.

Hope that helps! :D
[G1 Android Development] tivchev:
I also thought there's something funny with the drawer...
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Same here. Thought I was the only one who didn't like 1.93 at all. And yes, did wipe, the whole usual shebang.

Now using 1.8 again, which is for me still the fastest and most stable version (1.92 is great as well though...). YMMV, ofcourse! :D
[G1 Android Development] bbuchacher:
k figured out the adb issue, reverting yaffs2 as it was causing that and multiple other issues, update coming in morning
[G1 Android Development] :
Well for me 1.9.3 the app draw was the fastest its ever been! Have those tried 'keep home apps in memory'? I have it on with no swap or comcache and having no problems with app draw, will admit can be a little slow compared to previous builds returning to the home screen. Have had a few delays but never more than 5 seconds or so and have noticed that after a few reboots it appears less and less. I just put it down to the rom settling in. Now after a full day things are looking sweet and smooth :D
[G1 Android Development] torchedlh:
Thanks for the help (and yours too G1forFun). With your advice I'll go with EXT3 and after doing a little research I'll def use a 32mb Compcache. I think I'll also create a 96mb swap and set it to "backswap"? Now I feel very confident in the whole process, can't wait for my G1 to arrive!
[G1 Android Development] x2phantom:
I also went back to 1.9.2 because of the lagging AdvancedLauncher. hope this gets fixed in 1.9.4 or 2.0
[G1 Android Development] Klyentel:
won't be a 2.0, I think Ben is going to finalize super D with a 3.0 instead...to avoid confusion of "2.0" with eclair users
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Ofcourse, first thing I always do ;)

Yes that's what bothered the most. I can't stand waiting for the homescreen to build itself up again. Less issues with 1.8 concerning that.

Five seconds is for me enough to subject the phone to an impact test against the nearest wall. :D

That indeed is possible! Running 1.93 with the WG-kernel and it's looking rather sweet though. Múst give 1.93 a chance :cool:

From one n00b to another: DO flash the radio first! You WILL brick it! I did thinking I was a smart a$$ n00b and paid the price. Just search or go back a page or two in this forum for the info.
[G1 Android Development] weetabix1980:
installed the latezt noramhack version and its pretty sweet! The sync issue i had is gone with the new rom thanks
[G1 Android Development] sombionix:
I'm on 1.9.3, non ram hack version. I haven't experienced a single issue. No sync issues, no adb issues, no reception issues, no lagging launcher issues, etc. No issues at all. A bit of advice...clearly its possible to update without a wipe, its seems many of you have chosen this method. For some of you its worked, and obviously for some of you, it hasn't. Try a full wipe, then flash, if problems still remain, then post them. Wiping can be annoying, but I do a full wipe every time, without fail, and I have never had a single issue reported in this thread. This is a GREAT rom! Fast and stable, of course...assuming you install it correctly. Great job BB, keep up the good work.
[G1 Android Development] acavin:
best recovery?

I have a question....I've been using Cyanogen v1.4 + JF recovery every since I rooted my phone...I see a lot of people using Amon Ra recovery. Would it benefit me to change to the Aman Ra recovery? And, is there a risk to changing this? Thanks for the help!
[G1 Android Development] wrsg:
this rom is truly the best android rom i have used so far.

i have previously owned a hero and the roms on that sucked mostly.

i also tried openeclair and cyanogen on the g1, but they both are slower than this.

so far had no stability problems, everything 'just works™'
[G1 Android Development] ttg:
Most ROM issues can happen if you don't wipe ...

After updating from 1.9.2 to 1.9.3 I had lagging home or even worse the Home didn't load icons at all...

As always, full wipe solved the issues.

To save MOST of my data I use Titanium Backup.

even the free version is capable or saving your data.

only hassle is recover data of each app step by step...
[G1 Android Development] schtuka:
Later last night it started to freeze on boot. Oh well. Experiment didn't work out. Just FYI for those who think it may.[/QUOTE]
[G1 Android Development] sombionix:
Yes, It would benefit you. I didn't use Cyanogen's recovery very long, but Amon RA definitely has its benefits. Nandroid and BART backups. Partition options. Wipe options. USB toggle. etc.
[G1 Android Development] ma401:
Didn't even realize it wasn't syncing right on 1.9.2 until I just installed 1.9.3 and my inbox showed 3 emails! Tsk tsk tsk...

Coming from a full wipe, will report any issues.

Hey...any other AT&T users having trouble with cell connectivity on new kernel? Had trouble with losing connection using the beta, got worse with 1.9.3 and can't even connect to do the initial setup on 1.9.3 beta. I've redownloaded and tried to reinstall 1.9.3 beta after full wipe and no go. I'm sitting at orig 1.9.2, afraid of being left in the Super D dust...sniff, sniff...waaaaaaaa

You and I must have been posting at the same time. I'm having problems on ATT too. See above.
[G1 Android Development] helfrez:
Yeah, I am having some sketchy problems with data. I rebooted the device a couple times, and it seems to be getting a little better. i can now get into the market over wireless, but it seems to take at least one retry before it goes through.

issues aside, the rom is blazing!

Question about Compcache and Swap

Which should I use.....or which is better... Swap , Compcache or using both? please help!
[G1 Android Development] :
All depends, for me I like both off and always works better than compcache or linux. Some people like linux over comp and vice versa.

My best advice would be if your experiencing lag then play around and find what works for you :)
[G1 Android Development] LTonthetrack_G1:
Thanks.....and doesnt Swap wear-out your SDcard?
[G1 Android Development] :
Again one of those things that some say it does some say it don't.

All I know is run my 4gig class 4 as fat32 & Ext3 only and runs all day long, soon as I put swap on all goes to hell within an hour and my Ext3 partition starts to corrupt. For me personally I wouldn't touch swap with someone elses memory card ;)
[G1 Android Development] LTonthetrack_G1:
Good look!!! thanks :D
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Why do some people prefer not to have the RAMHacks? What are it's disadvantages??
[G1 Android Development] skyundersea:
It makes 3D games unplayable.
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Running any kind of swap on a class 4 is inadvisable.
[G1 Android Development] skyundersea:
I ran swap on a class 2 for quite awhile, and I had zero problems. Hmm..
[G1 Android Development] :
Well I figured that out, check my sig :D

Was when I first got the phone, have swap partition but never use it, had it from the early days when a few roms needed it. Just been to damn lazy deleting it and resizing and well 96mb ain't even an albums worth of memory so meh, let it rot! Lol
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Ahhh... I see.

I also have a 96mb swap that I turn on and off as the situation/mood dictates.

This ROM is pretty fast with or without it. I guess it depends on whether you are heavily multitasking or not.

I would definitely like the option to change swappiness in spare parts or have the whole thing controlled by a userinit.sh and user.conf.

Does this ROM run userinit.sh on boot?
[G1 Android Development] sino8r:
I agree... that's total nonsense. Classes of sd cards are just about r/rw speed. You can use swap on any sd card. Obviously, the faster the sd... the better the performance.
[G1 Android Development] sino8r:
No, I never got it to work on 1.9.2

You have to edit /system/bin/custom_init file and add it the end of the first paragraph

busybox sysctl -w vm.swappiness=20;
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
NO ONE said you couldn't run it.

I just wouldn't advise it. You hit the nail on the head. r/rw speed!

what is swapping? reading AND writing to a card to effectively extended memory. If your read/write speed is slower, guess what happens.
[G1 Android Development] sino8r:
Well sure, I believe speed is both of our points but the diffrences in class 4 and 6 is very little, imo. Class 2 and 6, on the other hand is more noticable but still worth using swap and/or compcache than not to.
[G1 Android Development] :
Just an opinion fella, not telling people what to do/not do just offering up my personal experience. As for the statement 'still worth using swap and/or compcache than not to' is another point down to personal preference, myself and a few others all feel the G1 runs better with both switched off. But each to their own and always encourage people to test what works best for them :)
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
I can fully agree here.

Different uses benefit from different configurations. That's the only reason I like compcache/swappiness controls in spare parts, it's quicker to change.
[G1 Android Development] sino8r:
Sure is... the best way to learn is to try all options and see what's best. You'll learn new stuff in the process too. I agree, the swap/compcache option in SP is awesome! So much easier than editing init files. Can't wait till Ben adds swappiness option. Perfection will be made that day, lol
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Wow...that's above my pay grade. Can you point me in a direction to learn how to implement that change?
[G1 Android Development] gsgleason:
flash the 1.9.3 version.
[G1 Android Development] MeatyCoins:
i have a 128mb swap on my sd right now, i can enable it and disable it ?

also would it be advised to overclock to 528mhz? i hear some people say it makes the phone more choppy
[G1 Android Development] BigWorldJust:
Ah, so what is having the RAMHack good for?
[G1 Android Development] futangclan:
To edit build.prop, you would normally pull via adb, but since it doesn't work in 1.9.3, you can go into terminal emulator on your G1 and type in the following:

$su (if it asks for superuser permissions, select allow always)

#cp /system/build.prop /sdcard

A copy of build.prop will now be on your sdcard. Copy that file to your computer and download Notepad++. Make the edits as suggested and save the file.

Copy edited file back onto your sdcard and use the following commands in terminal emulator:

$su

#mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system

#cp -f /sdcard/build.prop /system

#reboot

And that's it.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Speed if you dont mind the inability to play or use 3D apps

Swap is off by default and has to be activated via spare parts. I have my max at 384 for battery purposes and the min 128 and everything is fine for me.
[G1 Android Development] futangclan:
You can enable/disable the swap partition by using Spare Parts.

The phone is already set to operate between 128mhz and 528mhz, depending on load. It used to be set to always run at 528mhz in older versions, but Ben changed it to see if we could have better battery life.
[G1 Android Development] MeatyCoins:
ok thanks, so when would overclocking be really needed ?

also can you make a swap higher than 128? because thats the highest i ever seen suggested. & is swap/compcache really necessary here or its all preference?
