I can confirm the bug that 1.2.2 has an incorrect symlink.

init.rc, Line 21:

symlink /system/etc /lib

In addition 1.2.2 has twin ogg/mp3 in the ringtones folder, the mp3s should be kept as they are ~%40 smaller.
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
I got it to work. It was saying I needed to specify a location. I set it to a specific location in the settings instead of using 'my current location'
[G1 Android Development] cjbrigol:
Ok when people say CFS w/ 10mb ram hack (which is the one I'm currently running) is "fast" are they saying relative to other eclair roms? Just making sure...

And sitting on the desk not being touched, my phone randomly went into the awesome boot screen for like 3 seconds then back home...lol
[G1 Android Development] MINUS Stl:
It was just reminding you of the "awesome boot screen". :p

They must have forgot to put that in the changelog "Automatic bootscreen reminder"
[G1 Android Development] cjbrigol:
Yeah it's just stuck at the boot screen now. I didn't even do anything. So sorry but I can't use this rom right now. I'll try later versions still though.
[G1 Android Development] knevor:
same here tried the BFS with ram hack, seveal times , went to cfs with ram hack and is much better already, still setting phone up, but it is much more respnsive.

nice work guys.
[G1 Android Development] polyrhythmic:
Have 1.2.2 ported and running on my Kaiser, unfortunately the bootscreen is not QVGA-compatible as I had hoped... going to see what can be done about that.

Great work OpenEclair team!
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Why hasnt the thread been updated to reflect the 1.2.2 update released today.
[G1 Android Development] :
Is there anyway to change the horrendous camera shutter sounds besides acquiring an app like Camera Zoom FX...?
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
How do you tweak the volume of the sounds made when you type on the keyboard? Mine are barely noticeable.
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
I'm sure this might have been covered already...but what is everyone doing again to keep from like 20 apps opening up on their own every 2 minutes??

I have Advanced Task Killer Free but there's no function to auto kill every certain number of minutes. I'm assuming that's a paid version?

What other alternatives are there?
[G1 Android Development] cosmique:
yes there is another task manager (free) which kills running programms regularly.

advanced task manager in "pay" version has this feature as well.
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
yeah, the one i have does that too....the icon is an android holding a red x
[G1 Android Development] cosmique:
cant remember the name.

What is it?
[G1 Android Development] cosmique:
found it:

Task Manager

lets see, how good the autokill is.

The widget looks nice, showing the free ram :D
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
Just got it...it's called Task Manager and it literally looks like an Android holding a red "x" on it's left side.

I was using Advanced Task Killer Free and I also had Advanced Task Manager Free. Neither of these have auto kill like Task Manager does. I turn off the icon and notification.

I had 53mb available before I installed 1.2.2, I'm averaging around 39mb with comp/swap.
[G1 Android Development] cosmique:
i have 24-30 free with comp/swap -> 32mB and CFS with 10mB RAM hack.

but i have beautiful home widget running :D
[G1 Android Development] wrsg:
just curious, why do you need to re-partition the sd card? does this affect the apps that are on the card? is this something i need to do every time i change/update rom? just wondering as i have set up partitions and apps2sd today for the first time.
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
u have to add the apps to an auto-kill list, but if you did it once you dont have to worry about doing it any more
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
you dont need to repartition every time. it does wipe your sd card.

you repartition if A, your unhappy with the sizes or B, something happened and you get errors unless you repartition.

in my experience, apps2sd isnt necessary, the rom (this one anyway) does it for you).....for instance, while my phone was on i ripped the sd card out and all my widgets became black boxes reading "error loading widget" and all my apps upon opening gave me f/c
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
Kinda like a Dr giving a patient a lobotomy while he's still awake, huh? :D
[G1 Android Development] memphisraynz:
Im running 1.2.2 and wipe.

Is anyone else having issues with Market? Every time i open it i just get a FC.

Does anyone have any ideas on a fix?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] 2dorr:
This 1.2.2 seems fast, very fast, with Swap enabled. I saw the difference between Swap on and off. Still testing though.
[G1 Android Development] ftj2006:
Loving the ROM, running CFS with 10mb Hack, running nice and fast, boot animation is awesome... no issues so far.

Good work guys, can't wait for 1.3!
[G1 Android Development] IronCross1788:
wifi tether does not seem to be working. anybody else have that issue. i had to go back to 1.2.1. anybody got a fix to this, i updated the app itself, but still a no go.
[G1 Android Development] Ninzoku:
I'm currently running this rom but trying to flash to any OTHER rom just gives me a rogers screen. Anyone else having this issue?
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
high hopes for the bluetooth to be working tonight or tomorrow
[G1 Android Development] MINUS Stl:
Yeah, this would make me flash run OE again as I use BT for music at work.
[G1 Android Development] cplusplus:
why not have md5?

please tell me? thanks

Market force closes?

Dear all,

I am experiencing fc-s on market whenever i try to open.

Anybody having the same issues and any suggestions to this issue?

:confused:
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
Try clearing the Market's cache. Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> Menu -> Filter -> All -> scroll down and find Market, and there should be a "Clear cache" button.
[G1 Android Development] uwradu:
I've tried both the BFSHack and CFSHack 1.2.2. ROMs on my G1 (coming from 1.2.1), after doing a wipe/factory reset of course, and they both abort the installation about 75% through with an error saying that it cannot chmod the su file because it's not there. Anybody else experiencing this? I've looked through all posts since 1.2.2 was posted and cannot find anybody mentioning this. Never had a problem flashing a build before.

Thanks for any pointers.

Update: tried it again with a fresh download of OpenEclair-v1.2.2-CFSRHack.zip and here's the error I get (exactly the same as with BFS):

Verifying update package...

[G1 Android Development] IronCross1788:
Wifi Tether for Root

Anybody figure out a fix for this. It does not seem to be working with the new update.
[G1 Android Development] dr4stic:
I'm looking forward to trying 1.2.3 or 1.3 when they come out. No rush, I'd rather a working rom than a rushed one :) You've done a fantastic job, btw. I'm running 1.2.1 at the moment on a 32A and am QUITE happy with the way it performs!

I do however have two problems:

Weird market behavior

Bluetooth Settings Backup

In the Market, I have trouble purchasing items. I can install apps that are free, and I can install previously purchased apps, but I can't purchase apps I didn't have before. I've tried it with apps priced in Euro as well as USD and neither one works. When I try and purchase something, I end up in the wizard to add an account to the phone. I enter my cred's for the same google account that's already there (and which I used to purchase apps before on CM), but to no avail. Seems to add the account, but when I continue the purchase I just end up in the same wizard all over again.

I've tried clearing the Market cache as suggested in other posts. This install also came by the way of a full reset and clean install of the phone. Since this worked for me in CM, I'm assuming this is an OE weirdness. I'd be happy to re-install again from scratch (or try OE 1.2.2 for that matter) if it weren't for the second issue I posted: backing up the bluetooth settings.

I can back up most things just fine and pretty much restore my apps, backgrounds, etc, pretty quickly. The only one that becomes a real pain is the bluetooth settings. It's a pain because it means I have to re-pair with my car's headunit, and it's not the most intuitive interface for doing so :-)

Has anyone seen any app, or know where to point me, to back up the bluetooth settings? Also, has anyone else seen this odd Market behavior?
[G1 Android Development] uwradu:
Not exactly the same behavior, but same end result. Since 1.2.1 I can select to buy an app, it the prompts me to pick one of the credit cards (I could swear it used to remember what the last one used was and prepopulate it), I select one and hit OK, but then it doesn't update the previous screen with the selected card--the drop-down still says to pick a card, and the Buy button at the bottom is grayed out. Did the Market cache clear as well, so far nothing helped. Obviously it can communicate with Google Checkout because when I click to pick a card it shows me all the cards I've registered, but it simply cannot handle me picking one of them.
[G1 Android Development] dr4stic:
What currencies were you purchasing? Not all cards support all currencies (which is why I tried with two). If you actually got to your account, then I think we're having two different problems.
[G1 Android Development] uwradu:
Dollars, as always, using a card I've used to purchase lots of apps from the Market. This only started happening with OE 1.2.1 (came from CM 4.2.14). Not too terribly worried yet, I'm hoping this will redress itself with the next build. Right now I'm having problems installing 1.2.2, so I can't check whether the Market issue fixed itself.
[G1 Android Development] mesaman21:
Flash Issue

I'm having the same issue except I am coming from CyanogenMod-4.2.14. Is there someone that could provide a little support? Thank you.
[G1 Android Development] Maldune:
For all those people that have problems installing I suggest you read the following quote.

You cannot install OpenEclair v1.2.1 and v1.2.2 without this SPL.

Here is one of the many howto's.
[G1 Android Development] uwradu:
That is not true at all, speaking from personal experience. I came from CM 4.2.14 to OE 1.2.1 WITHOUT installing Danger, and in fact flashed that particular ROM several times without problems for the last few weeks. In fact later comments by the ROM developer state that Danger SPL is not required anymore, and that the first post should be updated to indicate that. Considering that it would take ten seconds or less to do so, I'm wondering why it hasn't been done already. So unless 1.2.2 suddenly requires Danger again, without any indication from anybody, you're incorrect.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
You are correct. Even the changelog over at AndroidSpin says it DOESN'T require the Danger SPL. I too, however, got the same error message when I was trying to flash 1.2.1 so now I'm hesitant to even try 1.2.2. I probably will though! lol
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
that may be true, but it cant hurt, right?

"failure at line XXX" is quite common, and i used to get it often....are you using amon_ra's recovery? i switched to that recovery, did a full wipe and i havent seen those since....
[G1 Android Development] uwradu:
I was running cm1.4, so I installed ar1.5.2 just for kicks. I notices that it's actually a slightly larger image, but regardless, still getting an abort. This time as follows:

E:Failure at line 73:

symlink /system/xbin/busybox SYSTEM:xbin/bb/dirname

So maybe Danger SPL is indeed needed for OE1.2.2 again but hasn't been explicitly stated yet. Perhaps it accidentally grew a bit too large for the standard G1? I might just wait and see if this weekend's build(s) will work again.
[G1 Android Development] marxmarv:
Fair enough. Works on 1.2.2 but wasn't mentioned in the above-and-beyond-stock features list. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] cesarcardoso:
Hm, looks like internet tethering via USB is broken, at least for me and in 1.2.2. Does anybody have the same problem?

(HTC Magic 32A, CFS bcrook's kernel, BTW)
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
WiFi tether works for me.
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
I'm not sure I like the 1.2.2 as much. I hate hate hate how 20 apps open up all the time when i didn't even open them. i know that's not 1.2.2's fault, but i do feel like 1.1.5 was way faster. i always had about 40-55mb free...now i haven't seen higher than 38mb. And it constantly stays around 17-18mb. 1.1.5 would hover around 30mb until i killed tasks, then it would shoot up to 40-55mb.

i'm sure this is also because of the processes needed to run the new LW's and whatever else was added in 1.2.2, I just wished 1.1.5 would be made better - not slower.

Regardless of my opinion, I appreciate whole heartedly what the devs are doing. I'm completely amazed at the skill they have to program these mini computers to do what they do. I can draw like portraits and make them look like B&W photographs and people always tell me they're amazed. To me, it's just second nature and easy. I imagine it's like that. But I'm still amazed.
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
Has anyone tried/used SlideScreen? Good? Bad? Indifferent? I like the concept, but don't want to bog my phone down even more.
[G1 Android Development] uwradu:
I noticed 1.2.1 doing the same thing. After a reboot it's typically sluggish as hell, so I start ATM and there are a whole bunch of apps running that I know I haven't started since the last reboot. Didn't pay too much notice to that until now, I just found it interesting that somebody else mentioned that.
[G1 Android Development] mlewis106:
I've had the same problem. It crashes in settings and will crash when you 'push to tether'. I haven't even thought to check until you mentioned though. I don't use it much at all...
[G1 Android Development] BIGDen:
Does this rom support PBAP (Phone Book Access Profile)

Hi. This is a great ROM. Thanks for good job.

Does this rom support PBAP (Phone Book Access Profile)?

I use MT3G.

BIGDen
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
I thought my wifi tethering worked...but it doesn't. I miss my wifi and bluetooth.

Soooo...I'm going back to 1.1.5 for now until some updates come out. Love this ROM still. Keep up the good work guys!
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
Okay, so here's a question....

I went back to 1.1.5 where I can consistently get about 45-50mb free - and that's without using comp or swap. So I thought I could try some new things that would normally take up some memory. I liked the Nexus Launcher in 1.2.2. Can I copy over Launcher.apk and Launcher2.apk onto my phone, install them using apps installer and then use the Launcher2 [aka Nexus Launcher]?
[G1 Android Development] naguz:
I agree. But are you sure it is not 1.2.2s fault? The same apps doesn't magically open themselves on other non-Ecair ROMs (haven't testet many other Eclairs)
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
I think I have to agree with you. I just reverted to 1.1.5 and I don't get all those apps opening on their own.
[G1 Android Development] vishalsheth:
I use HTC Magic. Is it a good idea to install this ROM? I had tried 2.1 ROM but was too draggy and sluggish. Is this sluggish?
[G1 Android Development] cosmique:
this is really fast its running on my 32b HTC Magic as well :p
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
IMHO 1.1.5 is way faster. Consider:

I have a MyTouch 3G and I was running 1.1.5 with no comp or swap and had a consistent 40-50mb free. [I didn't really see a speed boost running comp and/or swap]

I flashed 1.2.2 CFS w/ 10mb hack and I couldn't get any higher than 38mb and it fluctuated around 22-34mb.

So in my opinion, 1.1.5 is way faster. Get Advanced Task Killer from the market [the one with the icon holding a red "X"] and you can set apps to be auto-killed. Now my phone is running how I like it.
[G1 Android Development] cesarcardoso:
At least for me (32A Magic) 1.2.2 is a speedy ROM; if you can live with the limitations (no video recording, no YouTube, waiting for HTC to release drivers), it's a great ROM.
[G1 Android Development] lpasq:
i have a decent experience with oe_1.2.1. i don't use bluetooth but if i needed to, i wouldn't use this rom. the fact the camera doesn't have video is also ok for me. basically, i got tired of android 1.5 w/sense and wanted to play with nexus voice features for things like voice to text keyboard and google_map/nav. i am a business power user and needed to get exchange calendar apk from the droid added in. i have a few f/c issues when playing mini-golf but otherwise i get great pop3/gmail/excahnge email, sms, mms, gps, wifi w/tethering and have no issues with phone calls. the lack of flash player on browser is a bit disappointing and so is not having the ability to increase font size when reading email messages. there is multitouch in browser as well as maps and gallery. as for the live wallpaper, some do work but the novelty is gone so i don't really care much about it. i skipped upgrading to 1.2.2 but plan to test drive 1.2.3 to finally get video drivers back in action. all-in-all, i like the rom and think the dev-team are great for cooking this for us all.

my changes include:

added...

motocal.apk

motogal.apk

motoweather.apk

carhome.apk

removed...

3d gallery (to keep camera from f/c)
[G1 Android Development] kinkade:
Hi, very impressed by what i hear about this.

i'm running the latest cyanogen on a G1 and i see here that i need danger spl if i want to upgrade.

i have never played with flashing the radio or spl before, is this really necessary and if so can somone point me to a guide as to what i should be doing?

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
There's a pretty well written post about how to flash Danger SPL on the boards here but I do believe 1.3 will again remove the Danger SPL requirement so it might be best to just wait if you don't want to go that route. I'm the same way so I understand.
[G1 Android Development] kinkade:
thats great,

thank you for the super quick reply.

1.3 sounds a fairly long way off, any idea when it is supposed to be coming?
[G1 Android Development] uwradu:
I know for a fact that 1.2.1 works with the stock SPL because I've flashed it myself a few times on two G1s. It appears that 1.2.2 may need it again because I've been unsuccessful in flashing it so far--always get errors at various lines. I'm hoping 1.2.3 will be trimmed down again to fit without flashing the SPL.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I am not sure.
[G1 Android Development] vishalsheth:
The 1.1.5 is the beta you're talking about, right?
[G1 Android Development] vishalsheth:
I installed 1.2.1. The ROM is quite good. The problem I face is the memory. I run too low on memory. I get 17MB free. I'ver installed automatic task killer. The camera application kept on poping up. After I click the photo the photo is not viewed but I get lines. I cannot run video. It crashes.

This is for now. When I have more to give feedback I shall do so.
[G1 Android Development] eklipz3:
what ever it takes i'm sure wes and chris will make it happen.
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
Yes.

I have not tried 1.0.1 as some of the other posters have been sticking with, but I started with 1.1.5, and to me, it is way faster [in terms of eating up my RAM] than 1.2.1 or 1.2.2. As I've stated before, I consistently get 40+ to 50+ mb free with 1.1.5. I get about half of that with the most recent two versions.

I, like others, am waiting for the video capabilities and for it to be tweaked. I love it though. I know these guys put a lot of hard work in. I do a lot of programming in VBA at my job so I know how tedious it can be to get and start programming things to do what you want...and VBA is no comparison to the inner workings of these mini-computers.

Although, future updates are going to depend highly on what the outcome of this Apple vs HTC deal is. I personally think Apple feels threatened, and so they're pulling out all the stops.
[G1 Android Development] vishalsheth:
for now I've removed 1.2.1 as I had memory problem. I learnt that the voice control was taking a lot of memory. Is it possible to get kitchen like ppc? If yes make sure it's java based as I'm on Mac. I'm hoping to get a good rom for magic with more memory available.
[G1 Android Development] FHL09:
Has anyone on OpenEclair tried Dwang 1.7.1, I am not asking you to go try it if you haven't ;)

I just wanna know is it really worth the time flashing from Dwang 1.7.1 (1.6 Donut) to this (2.1 Eclair) on my HTC Magic 32B (also known as the Sapphire 32B & MT3G) & if so what version cause I see comments saying the latest is (how you say...) a little bad...No Offence!!!

Also by is it worth is I mean those who are experienced with Dwang 1.7.1 does it match if not surpass

Speed

Stability

Features

Someone please reply, I've been asking this everywhere & its like I'm stuck in a real-life boot-loop ;)
[G1 Android Development] tomtom89:
Ok guys i have a quick few questions. I'm runnig the newest version of this rom. However iv noticed there are a few built in apps here that run in background nd slow phone down. For example the ''news and weather'' app. How do I go about uninstalling this? Iv had a look in ''applications managment'' and nothing had sprung out to me. Same with voice dieler, it often runs. If there is no way of uninstalling these I suppose I'm going to have to buy advance task killer and auto kill them. Can some one let me know. Cheers.

Great rom btw
[G1 Android Development] geppo1975:
you can uninstall that default apps via adb:

adb remount

adb shell

rm /system/app/app's name.apk
[G1 Android Development] tomtom89:
Super thanks.
[G1 Android Development] tomtom89:
Second and last question. Is it possible to flash the 3d gallery for this?

Or is that expected in the update?
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
you don't have to buy that one. Go to the market and search for Advanced Task Killer. Get the one that looks like it's holding a red "x". With that one you can enable an autokill so that whenever you turn your screen off, it kills everything on the list if it's running. Also, it has a widget that you can press the app icon and it will kill everything running.

If you read my earlier posts, yes, 1.2.2 and 1.2.1 run a bit slow. Keep in mind that 2.1 was made to run on the faster cousins, Droid and Nexus One so there is going to be some hangups. I've found that 1.1.5 runs pretty fast and smooth. Others have said 1.0.1 is the fastest of them all.

Try all three out and see what you think for yourself. I have a MyTouch 3G and my results might be different from someone running a G1.
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
Rebooted my phone today after about a week...checked stats...51.3MB free!! Sweetness.
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
This post seems dead now. No new news on 1.3? Has everyone jumped ship and bought Nexus 1's or Droids?
[G1 Android Development] Sleepytime28:
Check the 1.2.2 thread. They are working on a new release.
[G1 Android Development] heldc:
What works&doesn't per release?

Is there a list somewhere of what works and, more importantly, doesn't work in each of the releases (1.0.1, 1.1.5, and 1.2.1)? it's my understanding bluetooth/video recording doesn't work in any of them, but I'm not sure if that's true for all 3 or just for 1.1.5 and 1.2.1. The changelog posted in the thread doesn't, for the most part, seem to list what doesn't work/standard features that aren't included. I did look at the bug tracker, but I'm not really any less confused than I was before I looked at the bug tracker.
[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
Bluetooth works fine on 1.2.1 w/ my G1. Video does not.

Haven't tried 1.2.2 because bluetooth is b0rked and I use it daily.
[G1 Android Development] vishalsheth:
I'm using the same rom. It's good and very stable. I tried 1.2.1 but was slow for me with memory being eaten up.
