Try enabling swap using the kingswap.sh in terminal. I've found it's much faster using swap than compcache.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Hmmm that's not good, I'll take a look at the voice search feature.

The network location on the other end is handled by your cell towers. The fact that it "works" means it is functioning. The algorithm that is uses is not going to change from ROM to ROM as we all use the same apk. You could google FieldTest.apk and see about running that application which is in /system/app/ and it shows show you cell tower strength around you. Network location needs minimum 3 strong cell towers to triangulate your position. If even one of those is weak then it'll throw off the algorithm and show you elsewhere. Unfortunately it doesn't fail and tell you something nice like "cell towers not strong enough". You just get your position on the map in a weird place.

[G1 Android Development] GiffE:
I'll have to tether my phone and download it using my data rather than the school's net.

Really kind of annoying though.
[G1 Android Development] cmg1:
Same thing is happening to me:

Start up with GPS off (and it stays off for all of the following steps). Location doesn't work in Maps.

Turn on Wifi and connect to home router. Location comes back.

Turn off wifi. Location continues to work.

...for about an hour. Then it stopped again.

Turned on Wifi BUT DID NOT CONNECT TO ANYTHING. Location comes back again!

Turn off wifi. Location continues to work.

So, at first I thought it somehow got the location through my home base station (Apple Airport Extreme). But after going through its configuration, I don't think the base station knows where I am to anything like that accuracy. And then it goes and works WITHOUT a base station.

Conclusion: There is some kind of really weird connection between wifi and location.

Whew, thanks for the validation, I wasn't sure if it was just me or my phone or something else (planets not aligning or something)...

Good side: Location works

Bad Side: Something is Wonky... :D

I am sure it'll get fixed though. :D

I have 1.3.. is FULL WIPE still required in order to upgrade to 1.4?

thanks!
[G1 Android Development] cmg1:
I'm pretty sure it is required. But that brings to mind a question for the devs: What is the difference between a ROM that requires a wipe and one that doesn't?
[G1 Android Development] thematrix2:
Thanks! The problem is that the version I have runs quite fine, and I don't really wanna erase everything and start all over again... and after a few days version 1.5 will be posted :D

Updates like this (1.3, 1.4, 1.5, etc) should be smooth, without wiping :cool: Only big ones, such as 2.x or 3.x should require full wipe imho;)
[G1 Android Development] killyouridols:
Just for anyone who is debating using this. DO IT.

Serious Congrats King, this is immense! I have widgets Left, Right and Centre, home++ Running and other memory hogs and this still flys. Whether opening apps, Swiping on home screen, Recieving calls, The lot.

Again, Great Job Pal.

[G1 Android Development] Talderon:
Well, the ideal situation would be no wipe updates...

However, you have to keep in mind that this ROM is 1.x version, meaning it is out of beta (normally 0.x versions) but it is still 1.x.

Once the Dev's have something really smoking and get their changes under control and all that, they can work on the no-wipe option.

Reason it is important for people to upgrade when a new version is released is to they can have feedback. This will be the only way a ROM can improve and we eventually get to 2.x.

I know it's a hassle to upgrade and wipe every time, but if you just put a little work into it, you can have an easy transition. When I Wipe/Flash/Log-in to my device, I get it back to where I was before in about 15-20 minutes TOPS... (depending on how distracted I get while working on it).

Here are some pointers...

1. Backup your apps - Use whatever method you like. Astro/Backup for Root Users/ Amon_RA recovery, whatever.

2. When required to wipe, wipe EVERYTHING - This is why people suggest Amon_RA's recovery. from the menu, you can wipe everything.

3. Flash - Follow directions! :D

4. Reboot and sign in - Once you get signed in, all of your mail, contact and other basic info will be there.

--Take notes on any issues you have and report them!! :)

5. Restore - use whatever you used to backup, to now restore.

If you have a TON of apps, then yeah, it's going to take you a while to get it all back, but that is the price you have to pay to be on the bleeding edge with this stuff... :)

READ/SEARCH the threads!! There are countless useless posts on "do you need to wipe, I have this issue, I have that issue" in these threads because people don't search (yeah, preaching here). It only takes a few seconds to search a thread to see if someone else asked if you need to wipe, or if your issue has happened.

Overall, if you want to be on the bleeding edge, you just have to understand that you will have to deal with more than the average user. :)
[G1 Android Development] tricky76:
You need to wipe everything - data and the ext partition. I tried to install 1.4 with just wiping the data (coming from 1.3) and was stuck in a boot loop after flashing.

Use Backup For Root Users to backup and restore your apps. It makes wiping less traumatic.
[G1 Android Development] thematrix2:
OK, thanks a lot guys! I'll wipe then... :D

Supposedly flashed ok, rebooted and it's been stuck on the first green "MyTouch" bootscreen for about 30 minutes.

Not looking good, first bad flash I ever had.
[G1 Android Development] Izord:
I had to take the battery out and tried to restart, and it's stuck on that first bootscreen again.

Any suggestions? It's not my first eclair ROM, I had one running before no problem.

I'm trying to give you a fair shake. :D
[G1 Android Development] emms007:
Try typing launching adb logcat and see where it keeps looping in the startup process. Even if your phone is not fully started you should see definately get something.

As far as my experience goes with this Rom, I had the same issue each time I fresh booted with several APP installed in /system/sd/app_private. It always failed to do the first launch.

Simple walkthrough is to move the private apps to another place where it does not bother it. For instance just do : mv /system/sd/app_private/* /system/sd/app/ - works great then. Hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:

Your ROMS last 10 mins on my phone....

I'm tired of getting excited over these rom descriptions just to be let down. . Rather than say things like *much Faster why don't U just put what matters the most. *no Video Camera Support. * almost as fast as a G1. *slow animations. The last update u did said camera worked but it only appeared to work until u push the capture button. Then it takes a picture of a meaningless crapp- must be where you get your rom descriptions from. BTW I reparted my sd card cuz u said 96swap flies... that was bs so I'm not even going to bother with this update cuz I feel my time was wasted on the last update. Ill keep my eye out for a good review and then consider putting this new broken garbage in place of my old working garbage.

I appreciate your effort king but this one doesnt quite cut it. I've givin up on hopes for a the latest os on my G1 but that's okay I'm very happy with super D right now. I'm always trying out other roms tho but I think Super D will be the rom my phone dies with. Please include what is wrong with your roms in the description on future updates. Thanks

It IS much faster, Compard to Previous Release

Well Documented about Video Driver issues, You must know this by Now?

Mine is just as fast as stock for me, Sorry it isnt for you

Spare Parts>Transition/Animatons Speed. Set to fast.

Works fine, takes a picture of whatever you point it at. All Pics can be viewed in Gallery Just Fine

Have you tried KingSwap.sh?

Good general review though...
[G1 Android Development] apacheo:
You're a douchebag.

EVERY 2.1 rom (not just king's) has no video camera support, and slow live wallpapers. Also, given that there are no camera drivers for eclair, we're using hacked up ones from NCommander. They _work_, but only just. The garbage you see on your camera after you take a picture doesn't actually represent the photo taken - the photo taken will be just fine and saved in your sdcard like normal.

If you're going to ***** about this rom, go ***** about every other eclair-based rom too. Eclair roms have not been officially released for G1/G2 phones, so you're lucky that anyone's making them available at all.

If you want the latest, bleeding edge operating system, then you have to take some bad with the (majority) good.

If you can't accept that, then go back to your donut rom and enjoy it.
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
Instead of putting people down and posting nonsense you can always build your own rom and show how much better your dev skills are. Until then, try drinking a tall glass of shut the hell up. If you would have taken the time to read, you would know about every single one of the current known issues.
[G1 Android Development] bunu:
Is the meaningless crapp the static like thing? all eclair roms do that when it takes the picture since the driver for it isn't the "official" driver.

You should be happy that you listened to him and reparted your sd card to get a 96swap flie because that is the best 96swap flie because it works great with most ROMs.

In any eclair rom the camcorder doesn't work (it is commen sense everyone knows that) and video playback doesn't work, some live wallpapers don't work. It is all because...WE DON'T HAVE DRIVERS YET.

YOU SHOULD DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE POSTING SOME BULL S**T. STUFF DON'T WORK BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE DRIVERS FOR ANYTHING AND THAT PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE EARLIEST ECLAIR ROMs.

Ok since I'm done flamming this noob, Are you going to use your kernel to update your hero rom? just wondering.

Hey everyone, quick question.

I hope this isn't a rudimentary question. I partitioned 96mb swap using Amon Ra Rocovery. But when I go into the OS and run the terminal emulator and type "free", it only shows 26mb as swap memory. I really want it to use the entire 96mb of swap. I must be missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This ROM is pretty sweet. Runs fairly smooth on a MT3G.

Where is Google Talk? I use it all the time with my wife. It's nice because it doesn't use any sms, especially when she's overseas it adds up.

I see some of the Google Talk Service running, but can't find the link to start the application.

:confused:
[G1 Android Development] deliciousj:
Run the following commands in Terminal Emulator:

su
rwsystem
kingswap.sh

The phone will reboot automatically and it will work when you type in "free" again to verify.
[G1 Android Development] Noojin:
I tried doing that and no go. At the top of the menu, it says the amount of space I have on the SD card. So I guess it is reading the SD card but not the "secondary" part?
[G1 Android Development] deliciousj:
Check the app list for "Talk".
[G1 Android Development] Talderon:
Here it is on mine... :)
[G1 Android Development] deliciousj:
Yeah, mine does that too on the MT3G. I didn't care if it was putting the apps on the sd card or not because I never fill the space allocated on the phone anyway.

Try this:

adb shell

Your phone will reboot and then check it. :)

Had a boot loop but soved.

May not be a common problem but in case it saves someone else some effort here is my experience.

Had CM running on 2 g1s. Flashed #1 with 1.3 no problem, #2 stcuk in boot loop. I wiped everything, updated the recovery, tried fastboot, re-updated the spl, and everything else with no luck.

Tried the sd card from the working phone in the "bad" phone and it booted. Repartitioned the bad phone's sdcard by mounting the phone in recovery, still no luck regardless of attempts, but I noticed that the EXT partition was 514 vs 512. Repartitioned with recovery to 96 swap and precisely 512 ext3, worked 4.0 next attempt.

May have missed some magic step that fixed it, but I really think getting the ext to the correct size was the key.

[G1 Android Development] malaeus:
im sorry to say, and im not trying to be an ass, but i think there may be something wrong with your phone itself.

this rom, as well as many others out right now run much faster than stock.

and i have to say this is about as fast as cyans current rom.

the picture taking works for me just fine, video still doenst work, which is annoying. but if you spend all your time watching youtube on your phone. then you need a computer.

seriously think about replacing your phone if you can (insurance/warranty etc) i know tmobile offers it, if you are on tmo.

maybe new SD card? or something, all i know is my g1 runs this just fine, even with weather widget clock (from hero) HTC_IME (from cyan) and live wallpapers (with no lag)

try checking out compcache with a class 6 SD card if you cant replace your g1 with warranty or insurance.

good luck to you.

Under SD card secondary, it says "unavailable". Shouldn't this be reporting the ext2 partition? Whilst I was using v1.2 it was fine, but now I can't get it to display the space on the secondary SD card. I guessed this was because the SD card hadn't been formatted properly, so I reformatted it from RA-dream v1.5.2 but it still won't come up. I've tried reflashing the ROM a bunch of times, wiping everything, formatting the SD card before, after, etc. Nothing seems to work. I know i'm doing some wrong, but I can't figure out what it is, so any pointers would be most welcome!
