it was a little slower than i would have liked

very clean ui, live wallpapers wouldnt work, force close every time, do love the new look, keep it coming, looking forward to new update. i flashed 1.1
[G1 Android Development] Bronk93:
I've never used CC before, do you still need to have a swap partition? I was using the 96mb linux swap in the earlier version. I see the user.conf has a disk limit of 32.

About four hours ago he tweeted that he was compiling some new code, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the power doesn't go out here, (we're getting wind gusts over 60 mph), before he posts it! We don't have much for cell signal here, so I depend on wifi at home, which won't work with no power, and neither will my computer!

guys i have a quick question i can't seem to find the answear to..

I live in italy and here we pay for data connection ALOT and i don't have a data plan so every time i update it automatically switches the 3G connection on.. is there anyway to remove the APN from the list??
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
uploading and doing final testing hehe
[G1 Android Development] Oceanborn:
Quick question, does anyone know how in depth the "back up my settings" option under the privacy section is?

What kind of information does it save specifically? Desktop arrangements? Wallpaper? Ringtones?

And King, you continue to amaze me and re-open my eyes to how amazing Android really is. I can't thank you enough.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
thank you :)

[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
forgot to add fix for auto rotate....

uploading a no wipe uodate for it
[G1 Android Development] snakeman65:
DENIED!

Hopefully just 4shared giving me a dodgy download as usual but get the following verification error on flash

e:Corrupt file: system/lib/libicuuc.so

I'll give it another download. Anyone else managed to flash yet?
[G1 Android Development] jasonmlit:
just wondering... i am using 1.1 and its stellar. mucho props King. I am just wondering if I can no wipe flash 1.2 over 1.1? I hate reinstalling everything every time. just wondering. thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Sxyman815:
downloaded 1.2 installed successfully rebooting yes I wiped everything lol.....oh another update lol

1.2 first boot is faster than norm and nexus boot animation is working and the setupwizard worked the second time after it couldn't find a data connection first time but install went well now on to installing the no wipe hopefully

will download the other and do a complete review :) lol
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
ok no wipe update is live.. check op....
[G1 Android Development] Jeffro64:
In recovery choose wipe and then do a wipe on all 5 options.
[G1 Android Development] loganthered:
King I loved your 1.7 rom and I really love the 3d effects in this rom but honestly mate this one just feels a bit too bogged down. Kinda makes me think we might be pushing a little too hard on the old G1.
[G1 Android Development] aditusprojects:
yeah.

this boot loops for me.

:\
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
what does your logcat look like?
[G1 Android Development] aditusprojects:
i dont' even know.

it just boot loops at nexus animation.

it worked once.

then i rebooted and it looped.
[G1 Android Development] normi2k5:
slow

Personally I think its really slow compared to Super D's rom. Anyone know why the nexus one live wallpaper isn't working?
[G1 Android Development] SpartusTana:
Honestly this is running exceptionally smooth for me on my G1. Apps work, load times are fast, performance is smooth as butter.

I ran into a problem using hard SPL causing it not to flash. Switched to danger SPL and...BAM!!!! It worked.

I also found that you need to wipe completely. phone, ext, cache, etc.

Thank you king for the ROM. It's wonderful.
[G1 Android Development] yokonunz:
Do you suggest to upgrade from 1.7? :D i i think i'm gonna miss the ramhack :D
[G1 Android Development] chwany:
hello

your port for 32a not working with V1.8
[G1 Android Development] jmariconda:
wow king great work on this rom i love the working 3d:D

trust me u wont, its plenty fast alredy

Hanging

I flashed1.8 on my G1, it works fine but randomly it hangs for no reason and I have to do a battery pull every time. Anybody have any clues? I am wiping completely before flashing. Do you think it is sd card issue. I am using a cheaper sd card class 2. Other rom eg CyanogenMod does not hang. Kings 1.8 seems like a wonderful ROM with 3d working great. I just want to get to the bottom of this

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] Markos_ES:
I flashed my HTC Dream from Movistar and it is too slow for me...

5 minutes and I am stuck in the 'Welcome to android' app

2 FC and sluggishness

Also, the enter PIN code interface it's a little bit big for the screen :S

Anyway, good work and keep improving it!
[G1 Android Development] area5x1:
I must not be doing something right, because this ROM is pretty sluggish on my G1. I have 96mb linux swap and compcache disabled. I get around 2.1-2.2 mflops normally, but sometimes it drops down to 1mflop for no reason.
[G1 Android Development] GBerg2119:

Great job on this room. A little sluggish at first, but once everything is fully loaded up, it's pretty smooth. The only deal breaker for me is I kept getting FC when trying to sign in google voice. Again, great job on the rom. I will check back with this room later...

Port 32a

Please anyone can port to 32a?? i`m stuck on 1.6.1 :mad:
[G1 Android Development] mt3g:
I think 1.6.1 was the best this just isn't feeling right with a completely wiped all the way to fat32 reparted and all and still doesnt seem like its as fast/STABLE as 1.6.1 probably cause of the 3d stuff involved but still some of the best work going on here
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
did you download?

the links each say zero downloads?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
a few posts up are some link to 32a kernels

poster says they don't work, BUT both links are 0 downloads...............

hey guys,

just tried this rom, looks and feels great, but

is VERY slow on my htc magic 32b (vodafone),

*i used engeneering-spl 1.3.2005 - is this correct??? can't find the "special spl", any hints?

*what about those swap partitions - how do you create it? when? where? ;)

thank you,

0nest0ne
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
when you say "it doesn't work"

what exactly doesn't work?

does the kernel boot?

can you see a logcat?

does it loop on the boot animation or the g1 logo?
[G1 Android Development] valeeazebe:
sorry... doesn`t pass the vodafone logo... stuck on it...:(

and cannot see logcat... after 10 minutes keeping say waiting for device
[G1 Android Development] fonsigno:
i have the magic 32a and daesn't start .
[G1 Android Development] 0nest0ne:
I just tried 'cat /etc/fstab' - can not see anything about swap. think that will be the problem for performance, but, i do not really know how to activate swap on android-phoneS! ;)

any hints for me? would be a great sunday! ;)
[G1 Android Development] 0nest0ne:
ooookay, had to update my rescue-boot-loader to 1.6 and know i am partitioning the sd-card, ok, staying tuned... ;)
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
EDIT 2 : btw this is for MT3G users, G1 users need apps2sd so just make sure you have 3 partitions, fat32/ext/swap

you need two partitions, 1st fat32, 2nd swap

in recovery mode, after flash and *before* first boot you need to modify /system/bin/a2sd and /system/bin/user.conf

you seem to understand a bit about linux, so you can probably work the rest out yourself

but this may help others

SD card with 2 partitions, ( as above )

adb remount
adb shell sed s/\-e\ \\\/dev\\\/block\\\/mmcblk0p2/\!\ \-e\ \\\/dev\\\/block\\\/mmcblk0p2/ /system/bin/a2sd -i
adb shell sed s/mmcblk0p3/mmcblk0p2/ /system/bin/user.conf -i

if you only have 1 partition, and don't want to re-partition then you can do this in any mode

adb remount
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/swap bs=1024k count=96
adb shell mkswap /sdcard/swap
adb shell sed s/\\\/dev\\\/block\\\/mmcblk0p3/\\\/sdcard\\\/swap/ /system/bin/user.conf -i
adb shell swapon /sdcard/swap

where count=<size in mb of swap>

and lastly, if you have 3 partitions, want to use the third as swap , keep the second for , maybe a debian install or what ever then..

edit : and have already booted so apps have been moved to SD already

adb shell mount -a
adb shell sed s/\-e\ \\\/dev\\\/block\\\/mmcblk0p2/\!\ \-e\ \\\/dev\\\/block\\\/mmcblk0p2/ /system/bin/a2sd -i
adb shell rm /data/app && rm /data/app-private && rm /data/app_s
adb shell cp -a /system/sd/* /data/

oh, must be done in recovery mode

ps , if you don't like the look of them escapes in sed change /\\\ to ~ or [ ;)
[G1 Android Development] 0nest0ne:
OK, very great, installed the rom again, "free" shows now 128mb swap, seems great.

so, guys, what to do to gain more performance?

- buy a class6-card for quick read i/o on swap, true?

- deactivate some fancy stuff like animations?

- other suggestions?

a very happy magic-user,

0nest0ne
[G1 Android Development] 0nest0ne:
yeah, but am used to the bigger linux machines! ;)

What I did today:

- upgrade rescue image to 1.6

- create partitions via rescue with the small gui

- update ext2 > ext3 > ext4 (seems nice?!)

and speed really approved (okay, the 32b with ~200mb ram really will need some swapping i assume)...

first: why? don't know these two files..

second: how can you type in commands in rescue mode? did not get it... ;)

thx,

[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
/system/bin/a2sd and user.conf

are specific to custom ROMs

the first a2sd move applicatin from the phones memory to the SD card

trouble is mt3g users tend to use our g1 ROMs so one of two things happen

they have two partitions, 1st fat32, 2nd swap, but a2sd falls over when it trys to mount the swap as ext, so they end up in a boot loop

they have 3 partitions fat32/ext/swap, everything works BUT its a waste their phones have huge data partitions

the ! bit I add to the a2sd script just reverses the logic on the partition test, so it just runs assuming there is no 2nd partition and therefore no bootloop :)

at some point another script is run to set up swap, it picks up its configuration from /system/bin/user.conf, I just update it to use 2nd partition
[G1 Android Development] davidrol:
Boot loops

Usually, a repair of the ext in RA recovery will fix this. This feature is hidden under the Partitiion feature.

bump? I cant be the only one
[G1 Android Development] punshkin:
the file has 64.9 MB

why do i need the special SPL? Isn`t /system like 67MB?

Shouldnt I be fine without the SPL?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
the file is cmprssd when you flash it it gets uncompressed

rule of thumb its twice the size in total

but if your interested in flashing without DangerSPL ( or what ever name it has today ) then check the No Danger link in my sig
[G1 Android Development] punshkin:
yeah i am trying that now

is there a bootanimation one could use that takes veeeeeeeeeeeery little storage?

and what about fonts? there is ohne font that takes 2mb-cant one just put one (small) font for everything?

since i am going to install dolphin browser-can i delete the broweser.apk or is it necessary?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
if you delete bootanimation from the zip file and resign you will get a fall back android not so animated logo

with regards to fonts, no idea

browser.apk , you will probably be ok

have you seen my post on toolbox in NoDanger ?

that will get you just over 3.5mb extra space on system
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
Mine also looped when i first booted it...

I did the ext repair ..

But it still loops an freezes . doesnt work for me :(
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
a bootloop could be many things,

do you have a logcat to offer?
[G1 Android Development] kemimarie:
uhh... no

but i flash another rom so its ok now ..

thanks neway :)
[G1 Android Development] ionic7:
So i got a mt3g and was wondering if you could tell me if i can just flash this or if i should do the new spl or is that only for the g1?
[G1 Android Development] SpartusTana:
As far as I know, According to the post king made, and testing myself. You need a "special" SPL, which would be "Danger" SPL.

If you flash with a different one (As I tried on my G1) the flash will fail and abort. This is from my experience. Hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] kathi17:
It's only for the G1.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
your fine, the danger spl ( or special as some are calling it ) is actually a hacked mt3g SPL

if you have an mt3g, then don't worry about SPL's :)

just make sure you do the little sed trick I have been posting

or have one partition and setup a swap file later
[G1 Android Development] mygti02:
this needs a lot of work. I get constant reboots....tones of force closes from launcher. I have wiped and even re did all of the partitions on my SDcard 3 times to see if it might be a bug on my sdcard, but i still get these issues. Flashing back to 1.6

How is the internal storage organized? Is it 'available space' - 'hardd disk' = ram? Because I do not think I have a space problem - I only would love to have a (bit) faster device...

wanna add:

when i use a task killer to kill all tasks the systems is really smoth in my home screens, maybe not smooth but ok - would love to get it smooth.

but have to say i only have the standard-2gb-micro-sd card from htc! nothing about class-6. what about class-10 - about 100€, hard for a small card like those, anything already tested?

regards
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
you see the line I highlighted in red bold?

it tells me you have a second partition that is not swap

see the line in green, see how much space it has?

well, the stuff that has ended up on your slow SD card could easily fit in that

this is what you should do to fix that

Boot into recovery, then

adb shell mount -a
adb shell sed s/\-e\ \\\/dev\\\/block\\\/mmcblk0p2/\!\ \-e\ \\\/dev\\\/block\\\/mmcblk0p2/ /system/bin/a2sd -i
adb shell rm /data/app && rm /data/app-private && rm /data/app_s
adb shell cp -a /system/sd/* /data/
adb shell reboot
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
you don't need it, you have an mt3g

don't bother with task killer

get auto Memory, set it to mild and forget about it ;)

touch screen dodgy

as previously reported in post 3376, i have the same issue. dragging and dropping is abit dodgy. I had trouble removing the google search widget. and typing is just annoying; when i press a key and some time i see a line full of it and press space then I see full stops.

Any solutions?

Other than that I gota say, i love this rom. I really hope someone comes with a solution.

What exactly does 'auto Memory' do? I've been using the task killer that kills apps when the screen goes to sleep. It also has a widget button for me to press to kill stuff i've pre-selected. What does auto memory do that the task killers do not?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
have you got apps2sd on?

if turn it off,

see my posts further up this thread
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yeap, that is a 3d thing

they are backported, they haven't had the 3d stuff cleaned up
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
lets you forget about it...

don't be concerned about how much memory is being used ( let it go to swap ), worry about how much you have free !!!

This little app has some presets, which will 'smart kill' apps when memory is low

[G1 Android Development] eagle_007:
Thanks. If you meant this:

adb shell mount -a

adb shell sed s/\-e\ \\\/dev\\\/block\\\/mmcblk0p2/\!\ \-e\ \\\/dev\\\/block\\\/mmcblk0p2/ /system/bin/a2sd -i

adb shell rm /data/app && rm /data/app-private && rm /data/app_s

adb shell cp -a /system/sd/* /data/

I did that and now my Magic is at nexus bootscreen and its been there for a while with a series of pauses. seems like I f*d up! gona flash again.

Should I repartition with one FAT32 or FAT32 and SWAP?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
fat32 and swap

then after flash and before reboot

adb shell mount -a

adb shell sed s/\-e\ \\\/dev\\\/block\\\/mmcblk0p2/\!\ \-e\ \\\/dev\\\/block\\\/mmcblk0p2/ /system/bin/a2sd -i

adb shell sed s/mmcblk0p3/mmcblk0p2/ /system/bin/user.conf -i
[G1 Android Development] eagle_007:
Thanks alot. I found that earlier in one of your post.

Works well so far. Just booted up and now to get rid of unwanted apps. :D

The drag lag hasn't completely gone though. I also used auto memory manager that improved things quite a bit.

Question guys... I've seen where some have used ext3 instead of ext4 and was wondering which seems to be better as far as stability?
[G1 Android Development] MERKJONES:
Hey - I just recently updated my phone to this ROM, up from the previous version. I noticed that my phone began to get slower over time, and decided to upgrade. Now... it's rebooted 12 (literally) times today randomly. I'll look up and see my G1 screen. Before I installed the update - I deleted everything on /system/sd, formatted / re-partitioned the card with 96MB swap like KingKlick has. On initial load - System keeps hanging. And now, every time you boot it up, system hangs. Saying "Process system is not responding." I've noticed that sometimes text messages don't appear in the messages thread. I'll lack service for 15 minutes after boot. I've run fsck for my ext3 partition (was 2 before, still doing it) and I ran chkdsk on my FAT32 partition for my storage. When moving icons around the screen, the icon movement will drop, and stop randomly. Also, the SMS app crashed, and deleted all of my texts. Wizard crashes on boot. I'm going to get logcat info in a second. Oh - the lock screen will be sideways for no reason. The time / notifications in the notification bar have since disappeared since i rebooted my G1. Text messages get stuck in a "sending" state...

I'm not using any overclocking tools / or auto-memory killing tools. I'm using a Class 6 8GB MicroSD card.

Anyone else having problems like these?
[G1 Android Development] 0nest0ne:
HOW & WHERE may I do such a large input on my device? how to connect via usb, sorry for noob-questions.

this rom is messed up but features that work make it something to look for when rom gets corrected
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yes, search adb

reboot to recovery, and yes you recognise the *nix copy command

your partitioned your card as if you had a g1, you have an mt3g, you have a HUGE data partition, putting apps on your SD is needlessly slowing your phone down.

read

/system/bin/a2sd

and

/system/bin/user.conf

then you might understand

summary

a2sd runs it dosn't know about mt3g's it was writed for G1s

it sees /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 assumes you want to put apps on it

it mounts /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 as ext2,3 or 4

it moves /data/app /data/app_s and /data/app-private to the sd , it links these back to /data

does a bunch of other stuff

now go back and read the below quotes

but for you we keep it simple

1 partition Fat32

wipe everything

flash rom

boot

login

open terminal

[*]su

[*]dd if=/dev/null of=/sdcard/swap bs=1024 count=128

[*]cp /system/bin/user.conf /sdcard/​

plug in usb cable

mount to computer

edit user.conf, change mmcblk0p3 to swap

save

unmount from computer

in terminal

[*]su

[*]rwsystem

[*]cp /sdcard/user.conf /system/bin/user.conf

[*]rosystem

[*]swap​
