[G1 Android Development] mindtwiz:
I honesly have to say this is the best eclair rom ive flased. Is fast compair to the other ones, and very stable for the most part. GREAT WORK:)

Quick Question, is it ever going to be possible to get the nexus live wallpapers working?
[G1 Android Development] misha:
Video

Hey guys,

First, the rom is great. Running well on G1.

The only thing I have with it is not being able to watch any video.... youtube or local video files.

I apologize, I have not had time to read through this thread to see if this was already posted this issue.

Please let me know if there is a fix for that I can do or this is some thing like live wall paper, that would not work until driver issues are resolved.....

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] SilverSurfR:
yep. No wipe upgrades will do this.

What appears to be happening in these roms is all apks are being zipaligned on install. I believe a setting is stored in dalvik-cache which marks if an apk has been zipaligned. So since dalvik-cache is deleted by most rom update-scripts anyway, your apks will go through this process on first use after each time you flash (or clear dalvik-cache). The process itself seems to replace the apk even if no change was made, so the system sees this, uninstalls and reinstalls.
[G1 Android Development] choke13:
That's the outstanding issue on all 2.x ROMs.. lacking drivers for (pretty much) any video-related tasks.
[G1 Android Development] thierrz:
Thanks for posting this ROM!

Do you guys think this ROM is fast enough to use as default ROM? Or is it more for testing? Is it fast compared to 1.6?

Thanks guys!:)
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
not as fast as 1.6 (in my opinion the superd 1.6 is the fastest) but this is good for daily use
[G1 Android Development] thierrz:
Great!

Hmm, that sounds nice. Gonna try it out and will tell how it runs! Thanks for your quick answer!
[G1 Android Development] choke13:
It's really solid, I've been using it daily since I flashed on Saturday morning.. good 'nuff for me!
[G1 Android Development] thierrz:
Thanks!

Great, thanks for reply!

Here comes a noob question:

How much MB swap do you guys advise? And how do you actually enables it?

Sorry, I'm still new to Android, and most of the things I understand now, but about the Swap thing I still really don't get it.. yet lol.

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
first post says: use spare parts to turn on/off

I use 32Mb swap;)

hahaha I was able to put nexus Launcher.apk and EOG-New theme with black notification on this rom:D
[G1 Android Development] houbslala:
You mean compcache size is set to 32Mb ? How do you check if compcache is enabled ?

How do you put nexus launcher ? Is it smooth ?

Thanks a lot for you help. This rom is so great ! Can't wait for next release ... congratulation to ctso :)
[G1 Android Development] thierrz:
Hm, cool thanks for reply again!
[G1 Android Development] thierrz:
okay, just flashed it. It's (afcourse) not as fast as 1.6.. It also force closes at the live wallpapers:( anyway, thanks!
[G1 Android Development] aaraya1516:
1.3.2 Great

This ROM is great. Keep up the good work. I'm still wondering why some applications seem to just start on their own. If anybody else notices this and knows how to fix, please post.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Do0zman:
W/ Facebook contacts ive been noticing that no ones pictures are syncing but im curious to know if you guys pull up a contatcs then try to go to the page straight from that page does it just go to your own fb page
[G1 Android Development] MarvinTheAndroid:
Great work.... looking forward to the next release.

Just to echo what others have said - the network location still isn't working. Maybe next time? (please) ;)
[G1 Android Development] nduanetesh:
All ROMs (including stock) will do this. One of Android's features is the ability to run programs in the background, and sometimes the program dev decides it will be beneficial for the program to be working while you're not actively using it. For example, Doggcatcher will search for updates to podcasts in the background even when the main Doggcatcher program isn't running. This isn't a bug, and unless it's slowing your phone way down, shouldn't be a problem.

Some programs have an option to run at startup or not, so check for that if you want. Also, you could use an advanced task managing program to automatically kill those background programs.
[G1 Android Development] nduanetesh:
Ah, I see. Thanks very much for the info!
[G1 Android Development] ilaf0106:
would anybody consider this being the best eclair rom?
[G1 Android Development] wvdschel:
I couldn't say it's the best, because I didn't try any others. This one simply works so well I wouldn't want to go through the hassle of testing the others. It's stable, fast and smooth. No issues what so ever.

I would love it if there were a version without the 10MB hack though.
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
there is no reason to have it without it cuz 3D drivers are not there any ways;) so DEV are taking those 10Mb extra for best over all performance
[G1 Android Development] wvdschel:
Ah I wasn't aware that the 3D drivers were completely missing. Hope that gets sorted out soon enough. So right now all OpenGL ES apps are purely software driven?
[G1 Android Development] aaraya1516:
I'll have to do some more tinkering with the apps I guess. Thanks for the response I thought it was just these developed ROM, but now that I think about it I never had a task manager on STOCK.

I too have issues with location. (I know many people have already posted this bug)
[G1 Android Development] nduanetesh:
Chris said a few pages ago that he thinks he left out a file to make aGPS work, and he'll be getting that out in a new release soon.

I'm eager for that fix, too.
[G1 Android Development] bruce26li:
great work on this! very fast, but yeah I notice youtube video doesnt work and I get FC on video recording. please fix when you get the chance, will report back if I find other bugs. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] jmhecker:
Not to be one of "those people" that say harsh things, but jesus people...it has been stated in this thread a few times already (and perhaps in the OP), and in dozens of other threads on this board: There is no video driver acceleration (IE: Youtube, 3d games, etc) available for this ROM (or any other Eclair ROM) at the moment. The drivers have not been released, hence the higher end video options are not available.

Hell, 3 posts above yours it even says that the 3D drivers are not available.
[G1 Android Development] G Zero:
Jeez. You go away for a weekend and 4 versions drop on you lol. Shows a lot of progress, and progress is a good thing.

Looking pretty stable now chris, so we can move away from the big stuff and focus on the finer stuff.

Auto locate DOES Work for me, but I'm using a geenie widget I pulled off here and just kept installing through titanium. Works perfect, even auto updates finally (carhome) but still doesn't display properly in landscape.

ALL LIVEWALLPAPERS IN THE MARKET WORK. Pretty (carhome) impressive considering none of them are getting the benefit of the built in graphics accelerator. Hope casual passerbys catch that. Last 3 versions do so with less slowdown. Did a little AB testing and found that the rom is just as smooth with a standard wallpaper. No reason not to run one. (carhome).

I get missing contact info from texts, and also on one restart I had 2 versions of a handful of the apps in my tray that went away over time. Couldn't understand that one. Other than that the roms pretty ace (carhome). I mean its got almost everything I could want, except for no more built in alarm (carhome), but...(carhome) for some reason it seems to be (carhome) missing something (carhome). What could it be?....(carhome)...

Oh yeah..... uh.... carhome!

Lol, pretty subtle huh?
[G1 Android Development] ctso:
o_O

What is this "carhome" you speak of? Sounds pretty lame.
[G1 Android Development] ilaf0106:
hahaha hah ahahhA
[G1 Android Development] defconoi:
Ok regarding speed on this rom:

What is the best compache setting? 8? 16mb? 24? 32?

Should I enable swap? Will I notice a difference in speed with a class 2 8gb card?

Any other tweaks?

Btw everything seems great, but who doesnt want some more speed :P
[G1 Android Development] ctso:
1. I use 16MB works great.

2. You could, but swapping IMO is evil and on a class 2 SD card, will probably hurt more than it will help.

3. Going into spareparts and changing window/transition animations to "Fast" makes things feel snappier.
[G1 Android Development] dragon546:
so far so good since flashing yesterday no FC's. Smooth no lag may try a smaller swap to see if this on next release, skipping 1.3.2
[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:
On 1.3.3 on the car home screen the text is unreadable on my screen mytouch3g

Seems to work as its supposed to so far though
[G1 Android Development] ctso:
1.3.3 is up which will probably be the last release for a while if aGPS works.

Not going to stop, but just going to start working on some more cool stuff, like MyTouch3G Fender Edition support :)
[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:
Can you make a themed version of this rom, black, and maybe make the highlight color grey, blue, green or something. With the nexus style launcher? Would be nice!

Also whats so different about the fender edition compared to this?
[G1 Android Development] ctso:
Fender has a headphone jack and different touchscreen hardware, so it seems.

Edit: also I'll leave the themeing up to the themers
[G1 Android Development] ashshlay:
Awesome Rom.

Location working.

This replaced the latest cyanogen and Wes Garner with no wipe and fix permissions in between.

One of the faster roms available and probably fastest Eclair.

Only issue currently is with contacts that show up but say.they don't exist when trying to view or longpress.

I am hooked.

Thanks Chris and to everyone that helped you. Eclair looks great!

Using version 1.3.2

Will update to see if contacts are fixed.

Wiped dalvik cache
[G1 Android Development] defconoi:
Chris, your the man! That did make it feel a bit snappier, I also am wondering if their are different filesystems we can expiriment with that will improve flash i/o.. I use jfs on my ubuntu computer, I also have a xda thread about this:

Boost Speed and Space Significantly in Android With SquashFS and AUFS or ubifs!

Basically we have kept to ext2/3/4 on our sd cards, maybe we can switch to something else even faster? And maybe we can also compress system/bin and system/lib, because it seems file access on a compressed fs is much faster, but that may require more ram? Dunno.. all the dev's have been working at tweaking the scheduler, cpu, ram, and kernel. Maybe the filesystem can be tweaked a bit?
[G1 Android Development] tama82:
Thats probably cause you didn't wipe. Had the same problem previously.
[G1 Android Development] defconoi:
OS Monitor Wont start, attached is the logcat

OS Monitor Wont start, attached is the logcat
[G1 Android Development] tama82:
Location is working for genie widget and browser but not with locale and weatherbug. Both has classnotfound exceptions.
[G1 Android Development] ctso:
Well, I actually skimmed that thread (or maybe another) and saw reports of major issues when squashing system/lib, but I have not tried it yet for myself.

As for ext2/3/4 we have to keep in mind that the performance increases are probably not noticeable on SD cards as they are pretty slow to begin with.

I plan on implementing AUFS or UnionFS for apps2sd with an app that lets you pick which apps go on SD (there was an old thread about this, thats where I got the idea).

This kernel is using the CFQ i/o scheduler, others like to use anticipatory or deadline. I did benchmarks on all three and noticed no differences.
[G1 Android Development] Error Spiff:
ctso great ROM it runs great but, if I may make a suggestion.

The main reason I like your rom is because it is slim, there are not a bunch of extra apps on the ROM that I will never use, but it looks like a bunch of those are starting to creep into the rom.

Any chance you of including these apps in a separate pack?

Or at least moving them into the data folder so we can remove them without having to use ADB or SU permissions?

Personally I will probably never use the the Weather/News widget, the car home app, the live wallpapers or the dev tools.

Also it seems the facebook app should be in the data folder as well.
[G1 Android Development] G Zero:
you might have heard of it. It allows you to use navigation with voice control so you don't wrap your car around a tree. Seemed like a natural fit with your N1 keyboard and your passion for saving lives but if you've got bigger fish to fry I get it.

edit: ahhh Chris... chris chris chris... you know you're officially THE man to me now right? ^5 for greatness!!!!

Ahhh. This rom could stop right here and id be perfectly content. :D:D:D THANK YOU
[G1 Android Development] ctso:
Hmm, if you're concerned about wrapping a tree around your car you should probably stick with that weekend cruiser ROM, Intension may be too fast for ya.

But, I heard you like to carhome so I put some carhome in Intension so you can Intension while you carhome. All at 100+mph, if you wish.
[G1 Android Development] G Zero:
LMAO. You're the man bro. And genuinely a good guy. If there's anything I could ever do to help you out man, just say the word. ...you know... no homo ;D
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
I have to say that this is THE 2.1 ROM to have. HANDS DOWN! ctso is VERY responsive to any requests people send him and he is all about this ****. I love it! Nice to have a new developer come in and BLOW the competition away. HA, see for yourself. He gets **** done and actually KNOWS his ****. Development is way more than moving a few files around, however, that is what most other "devs" tend to do. Keep an eye on this guy.

BTW, I don't run cyanogen anymore and that is ALL i ever used to run on my phone due to the fact that he truly is a master dev. But with cyanogen going off and getting a N1, ctso is the dev to keep an eye on for sure.

Everything works great in your latest. Mad Props!
[G1 Android Development] crankygeek:
Hey ctso!

Love your rom, so i figured since i wanted to do a wipe before installing 1.3.3 (wanted to nix the swap and a2sd) I'd make a video.

I might have missed some things but i figured some people who haven't tried it yet might want a visual demonstration.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6w_GmTK7Z4
[G1 Android Development] ctso:
DAMN, where'd you get that ROM? It looks even faster watching someone else use it. You covered just about everything :)
[G1 Android Development] NViouz:
Couldn't have said it better myself :)

Btw, how does Apps2SD work? Do I just partition my sd card and all my apps will be installed on the sd card? And do i use ext 2, 3, or 4? My understanding is that if I install my apps to SD, I wouldn't have to re-download them when I flash a different rom (not likely) or an update (with wipe). Is this correct?

My gf keeps getting mad that the game she plays on my phone gets reset every time I flash an update (I like to wipe when I install for good measure) :P
[G1 Android Development] bert269:
location apps STILL not working in 1.3.3 !!!

As tama82 specified, Weatherbug is not working and so are neither AndExplorer, Google's places, Weather & Clock widget, Movie finder & Google's My Map editor.

IS THERE ANYWAY you can perhaps test anyone of these apps to determine when it's working or not,...please? (I can help if you need something, anything!)

Please tell me what app did you use to test the location status with?

It really seems to me that this is a great ROM, and few match up to this - but these location related apps are important to some of us and it would be a pity to go back to older, but working ROMS.

Bert:confused:
[G1 Android Development] ctso:
Thanks njuncos!

Tried weatherbug out, looks like there are some missing classes but I'm thinking this could be depreciated API methods that they are calling, going to look into it more.
[G1 Android Development] :
LOL... Stupid me. I did have an audio folder from when I used CyanogenMod. That removed most of the duplicates. Now where is this PAX folder you speak of so I can get rid of the rest?
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Just tried this build....Wow, its quite speedy. Probably the fastest 2.1 build I've played w/ yet. Excellent job!

Also, the compcache size option in SpareParts is a great addition. I would hope to see this in ALL roms soon.
[G1 Android Development] tmobilewinguser:
sorry if this has been asked already but i didnt see it on the first post but does this rom include the 10mb ram hack
[G1 Android Development] isikh:
Has anyone tested this along with King's version? If so, can anyone give an unbiased opinion on which is faster/feels faster/smoother? I'm on the G1 with Danger SPL..I'm really considering this ROM, but one question what should my swap/swappiness be? I'm using swapper
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
I tried both pretty quickly....although i LOVE kings boot animations, i would say Intension is a little bit snappier. Didnt find any major issues in either (though I was on both for about 20min total, and I didnt get to test locale-based apps). Both projects are coming along quite nicely

I personally dont like to use swap, and solely use CompCache. Usually 24mb or 32mb. Kings uses CC by default, although u can enable swap and Intensions CC can be set in SpareParts :D

Hope that helps
[G1 Android Development] isikh:
Sweet; I think I'll use this one..call me crazy, but I like the simple green android animation; it's really pleasent imo
[G1 Android Development] mr2t32:
First, I like to say this is one of the best Eclair that's out there. I had no problem going through the initial setup and everything seem to be working great on the mt3g with fat32 and ext partitions. Now, I'm not sure if this is the apps or the location problem, but when i try to run google places or yelp, I get FC on both. Other than that, it's a solid rom. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Sounds like the locale-based bug that a lot of people are having. Can you reproduce it on maps, Weather Widget, Beautiful widget, or any other app that relies on location??
[G1 Android Development] gitanojr:
But its missing the apps running, when I go to "applications/manage applications" I can only see the ones I just downloaded from the market...

On terminal emulator the "free" command cannot be found...

On internal mem only had 62mb before installing any app...

Good work so far no fc....[/QUOTE]
[G1 Android Development] flak0:
Free does not work in Nexus One ie(ECLAIR 2.1) it seems HTC removed. Use cat /proc/meminfo

Internal mem should be at 80+. Delete any Caches.

Manage Apps click menu then filter then all applications.

[/QUOTE]
[G1 Android Development] ctso:
Manage Apps click menu then filter then all applications. (thanks flak0, didn't have my phone booted so I couldn't say the exact menu options).

Will be fixed in the next release.

Can you be more specific? Are we talking memory as in flash memory (storage) or RAM? If you are talking about only having 62MB of free RAM this is because of Compcache.
[G1 Android Development] Iman07:
wow i like the name...intension.. cuz android is so intense! ;) where did u get that from?
[G1 Android Development] Deejaydark:
dont hate just curious...

Not to sound rude but what makes this different than the other eclairs?
[G1 Android Development] ctso:
RAM hack, compcache enabled by default, some other tweaks... read the OP, IMO it is faster than any of the other eclair rom's ive tried (pretty much all of them), but hey, I cooked the ROM ;)

Beta3 link is updated in the OP.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Jac and manup already have compache enabled thats why the rom is still fast without swap, if you know of sensehero it also is compache only.
[G1 Android Development] Brainze:
Well... Tried XRom and Manup and went back to Dwang 1.17.1 due to detrimental feature lacking...

Now that wifi is fixed with the 10mb hack; i'll give this one a go...

danger SPL work okay?
[G1 Android Development] nephron:
ya, he just updated the script. He also added the 10mb ram hack with a BFS kernel AND a fix to Bluetooth/Wifi which other 10mb ram hacks messed with.
[G1 Android Development] ctso:
This kernel isn't using BFS.
[G1 Android Development] Brainze:
Again... Anyone know if Danger-SPL will work or do I absolutely have to use 1.33.2009?
[G1 Android Development] djluis48:
Nice to see a new dev, im going to try this rom and give you some feedback :)
[G1 Android Development] ctso:
If my understanding of the various SPLs is correct, it should work fine with Danger.
[G1 Android Development] Auramaster:
Five homescreens :D... But this is just 2.0 (With Arc lockscreen and some nexus wallpapers [Not live wallpapers])...It Not 2.0.1 :eek: ... But pretty darn fast so farr :)

I've only tried Manup and Jac's eclair roms (both with the Ram hack), I personally found Manups a bit faster (maybe case my linux swap?) but so far in my 15 minutes of using it, this is muchh faster then Manup's & Jac's rom(s)

Im getting 67 Mb internal storage with a clean wipe flash, and on SD card secondary, it says unavailable.. but i have a Ext3 with some apps on it (and my apps didnt show up in the app drawer)... Anyone else getting this problem?
[G1 Android Development] JoelOFH:
I'm loving this.

However, I have run into two problems.

Reboot doesn't reboot, instead it turns off the unit.

Secondly, fix_permissions is acting funny.

Can/will anybody verify?
[G1 Android Development] ObiCiscoNobi:
sorry for the noob question, but what is the best SPL?
[G1 Android Development] finalmoksha:
I have G1 with Danger SPL and this ROM flashed just fine. Using it now. It is fast. Will update the status after a few hours. Cheers
[G1 Android Development] JoelOFH:
I'm also having a problem with the automatic rotate. This ROM is smoking, but it definitely is not without it's problems (which is fine, since I understand I can no do any better -- just wanted to point them out, so you had a chance for fix them!).

:)

[G1 Android Development] mr2t32:
I'll have to install those apps to test it out. The apps that i found working are Google map, Genie widget, and clock.
[G1 Android Development] houbslala:
I've just flashed 1.3.3 it's great but it seems there is no 10MB RAM hack.

1.3.2 was using 10MB RAM hack but 1.3.3 not longer use it ?
[G1 Android Development] bert269:
Location apps not workingmen

Yeah, I think it's called 'testing' before putting it in the mainstream and calling it STABLE.

Promises alone does not do it.

I told you I'm willing to help you test
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Any chance we could get a 10mb RamHack kernel....Im loving this build, except I would kill for that extra 10mbs of ram. I think my slowness after I got all my widgets\apps installed will magically disappear if I had that extra 10MBs.

Thanks for the great build!
[G1 Android Development] Eclipse9069:
You could just take the boot.img from the last known version that had the ram hack installed and copy it over to the current version you are running.
[G1 Android Development] thugmafia:
just flash the new 1.3.3 on my g1 and still no aGPS well i guess it only work on MT3g/magic cuz i saw the youtube video can any G1 user confirm tihs and not just me plz and juz to say this is the fastest i have seem out yet and i mean it cusz i have flash all of them
[G1 Android Development] bert269:
Yes, I have a G1 too and NONE of these location related apps are working!

Other ROMS are doing just fine - no, it is not just you!
