when i try to install this rom the recovery gives me this error

copying files...
E:can't symlink /system/xbin/bb/dirname
E:Failer at Line 73:
symlink /system/xbin/busybox SYSTEM:xbin/bb/dirname

Installation aborted.

how do i fix this?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
What phone are you using, the G1 needs the Danger/Death/Haykuro Spl

Also just to prove that 3D is working:
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
am i correct in thinking that live wallpapers are greatly improved by the better working graphics now (3d mainly)
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
or workaround found here

http://goo.gl/nogE
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
We can't really test them as they are broken in the newest version (at least all the ones except polar clock), and we can't use the market as it is also broken. However, I had someone send me the NexusMod.apk to test, and it is fast, smooth and no stuttering.

@Fireat Sorry I haven't been on xda in a while and I tend to forget about some of the things that are actually useful here.
[G1 Android Development] chim4ira312:
whenre we gonna see the new openeclair with 3D!!?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
When it's actually stable. It freezes constantly, 90% of the included wallpapers don't work (Wes says he has a fix), Market doesn't work, Google Sign-In doesn't work....
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
when will we see a new open eclair period. ;)
[G1 Android Development] Sik-1:
Ok so i just flashed this again, but this time i flashed it over my barebones cyan rom, i do mean barebones, and guess wat, its works perfectly fine, so so sweet,....it may jus b me but im realizing that its running much smoother.... live wallpapers are running like nexus, jus finished putting jit back on and will soon post again, but b sure to try this out
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
So what you did was wipe, install cyanogen's latest mod, then just flash OE over top of cyanogen without wiping again? Also, what do you mean by "barebones"?
[G1 Android Development] nobleach:
Hey just follow the guys on Twitter! You'll read about all the progress they're making. Right now OpenEclair is in ClosedBeta.... (I know, I love the juxtaposition too.... but I trust that what's going to follow in the next week or so is going to be nothing short of AMAZING!)
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
What's going on is nothing short of amazing ;)
[G1 Android Development] the_alien:
Best 2.1 rom i've tried so far.

Is the Contacts.apk force close going to be fixed? (I mean having a contact open, nothing highlighted and press the call button -> contacts will force close)

If you readd the Menu to unlock please make it configurable.
[G1 Android Development] flobin:
I tried to flash this rom, but I got this:

E:Can't chown/mod /system/xbin/su
(No such file or directory)
E:Failure at line 240:
set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:xbin/su
Installation aborted.

I'm coming from cyanogen's latest stable version. I did a nandroid backup, then a wipe, then applied the zip. Am I doing something wrong?

I would greatly appreciate any help!
[G1 Android Development] the_alien:
Use danger/death/haykuro spl or strip the rom.
[G1 Android Development] flobin:
Oh, thanks. I thought I had read somewhere that danger spl wasn't required.
[G1 Android Development] zeezee:
It does say that, but i believe that is just aimed toward MT3G
[G1 Android Development] t_rob76:
Ok, for the masses that dont follow twitter here is the latest.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
The intention is DREAM w/0.95.x000 SPL.

The issue is this;

The space taken up within the /system partition has to be LESS than the total size of the system partition by some minimum amount. The current version is *just over* that amount, and so the stockSPL compatibility didn't quite work out.

They say that this should be fixed for good with OE1.3.

Although trimming the 1.2.x version shouldn't be too difficult.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!!

From what I've been reading on twitter and the like.... its gonna FLY!

Apparently, the OGL/compositing is *really slick*. Even on our supposedly "dated" hardware.
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
Looking forward to the new release! Somehow, I have my doubts about the weekend. And I say that only because I'm sure Wes is very busy and if this is anything like what I do at work...something ALWAYS happens at the last second. Still looking forward to it though.

Til then, I'm gonna give Super D w/ WG Kernel a try.
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
of course, murphys law my friend....i dont really believe were going to see it this weekend either, its a nice hope though....as a final note, about time too!
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
Hey, do you know how to tell if your SD card is up to EXT4? I'm sure I did this, but I wondered if there was a way to check.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Go to recovery console, and the do:

<enter>
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
print
quit (or exit)
reboot
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
Again, please forgive my noobish stupidity [still learning a lot of this]...but 'recovery console'??
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Recovery mode > Go to console
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
Recovery mode = pressing 'Home' and 'Power' at the same time, right?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Recovery mode = Place you flash roms, so yes
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
Ok, yeah, I go into my RA recovery and I don't see a 'Go To Console' or anything like that.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Oh, you have a magic so I don't know... I would look under "other" maybe?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
should be the second option down

ahh, hold on Sapphire :)

no keyboard so it would be pointless......

your stuck with having to use 'adb shell'
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
Grr. Any way I can have a NOT Sapphire recovery? I'm assuming it's because the G1 has a physical keyboard and the MyTouch doesn't?

Also, I've been reading there's a RA 1.6.2. Can I replace my 1.5.2 with 1.6.2 without having to do a bunch of wiping, flashing, reformatting, etc.?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
No wiping, just a terminal command. And that won't give you console, your best bet is to set-up the Android sdk* and do it from there.

We won't go into how to set this up here as it is documented much better in other places than I could do here in 10 seconds.
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
Thanks. I'll Google it. You guys are a class act [you and Firerat...and many others] Thanks for the direction.

BTW, what will happen if I enter what's in your signature? Something tells me it would be bad, but its like someone saying, "whatever you do, DON'T DO X"...you just have to.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Well, I would only do it if you like to reflash roms ;)
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
"mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" - makes the /system partition writable.

"rm" - Linux command to delete files/folders.

"-r" - recursive switch that tells the command to remove all subdirectories of the specified one.

"/system" - partition where Android lives.

You do the math of putting those together :)
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
That would be funny for someone who just randomly did this out of the blue who didn't know any better...or bothered to ask what would happen. Dirty - but funny.
[G1 Android Development] lightninbug:
is this ever gonna be updated?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Seeing as he's pushing out a new beta tonight... I would hope so. I'll let you guys know if this one fixes sync.
[G1 Android Development] lightninbug:
one can only hope with all the time we waited for an update.....I will pay 50 bucks to whoever can put out a stable/fast/everyday eclair rom..and personally i see it coming form this team
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
I'm sure the team would appreciate that $50 through their donations link on the first page.
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
I like how you condensed your signature...nice. =)
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
Oh wow! Google Maps just released 4.1 in the market. There's a LW that loads your position and moves with you...ON THE WALL PAPER!! There's swipe search results, a Latitude widget, and more. All this and voice navigation just remind me how much more awesomer Android is over Apple!
[G1 Android Development] neok44:
that live wallpaper is just trippy. tried it out and hated it lol. went back to my default one lol

but aside from that, the new layout on results and the swipe is pretty damn nice.
[G1 Android Development] jonathane411:
is there going to b an update anytime soon?

New thread

Wes opened up a new thread, and said he is hoping to have a new rom out by this weekend!
[G1 Android Development] wrsg:
all of a sudden i am getting FCs when i try to open settings

i wiped data and dalvik cache, but when the phone reboots, i click on the settings menu and its the same error?!

i can't even use the dialer, market or anything, its the android.process.acore problem, the phone was working fine for a week but now just everything has gone wrong at the same time.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
If it was working it is user error and a wipe/reflash is in order
[G1 Android Development] wrsg:
i have only tried wiping, not reflashing, but i will try that and tell you how it goes, thanks.
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
id like to report a bug:

im using 1.2.1 with opted images and today, out of the blue (no pun intended) the bluetooth just stopped working correctly, and i get FC's everytime i call someone. im unsure if this problem exists in 1.2.2 but i think it should be looked into.... this is day 23 of using this rom if that helps identify it
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
If it was working and is no longer working, wipe/reflash as it is due to user error (from what you said it sounds like you messed with the rom)
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
i did, and its fine now, im just saying, it happened.....i didnt do anything different from the average day to day use, all i did was try to make a call and i got an FC, the call still went through and i got about 5 minutes in and my phone ended the call for me.
[G1 Android Development] kherio:
Waiting anxiously for the 1.2.3....... ;)

btw, where can i download the 1.2.1?

Edited: I have just found it....
[G1 Android Development] CHERNAB0G:
pretty sure there isnt going to be a 1.2.3

i think were jumping to 2.0, although yes, anxiously waiting as well ^_^
[G1 Android Development] wm1:
Where did you find it? I've been looking to downgrade so maps will work.

edit: nvm...I was looking for it in this thread...Didn't think to look for a completely different thread. ;-)

[G1 Android Development] kherio:
Yes, I saw the post in androidspin.com

OpenEclair v2.0 to support new features, new kernel, and 3D support

Posted by Jason Bowdach on 19th March 2010
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
I didn't think we'd see an update this weekend. lol That's okay, though, I'm patient. I'm looking forward to the next release. I've tried about 4 of the most popular ROM's and I keep coming back to this one. I keep waiting to see who is going to update first: KingsKlick or OE.

Though, I saw Wes found some interesting tidbits about KingsKlick and called him to the floor on it. I haven't seen any replies. Supposedly, Kings used some bits from OE for the KingsKlick ROM? Ruh roh.
[G1 Android Development] kherio:
Anybody knows if this rom will include a pdf viewer ?

I dont know why any rom include it...
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I don't think it does, but if it does it is easily removable, and if it doesn't it is easily added.
[G1 Android Development] kherio:
and when will it be released?

tic tac

I'm nervous ;)
[G1 Android Development] wm1:
Thanks

so...we'll give this a try and see if positioning works any better.
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
Where can I get an .apk for 'Swype'? or do i have to wait for beta to open up again?
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
do you really have to post in more than one thread?
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
my bad. point taken. just trying to increase my chances.
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
Don't know where else to ask this...but being as I'm using OE...

I was using an app called 'Where'. Basically, you search a destination, it gives you a list complete with address, phone number, user rating [if available] etc. you could also map it and then subsequently get voice navigation from Google Maps. Since updating to OE from cyanogen, every time I click to map the search location, I get a FC. No one else I've noticed in the market comments are getting FC's.

Same thing with an alternative app I use called 'Places'. I get a FC when it tries putting things on a map.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with this ROM, AOSP 2.1, or a combination thereof. So...is anyone else using an app similar to these that does NOT FC?
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
Did you perform a full data wipe, wipe of the dalvik cache and a wipe of the ext partition before flashing this rom? (THE 3 W's) as I like to call em.
[G1 Android Development] aiiao:
i flashed this rom yesterday evening, and this morning, when i tried to open my contacts/dialer/etc i got a force close on acore. was kinda troubling during work today..

anyone else had this problem?
[G1 Android Development] Sik-1:
um y doesnt root explorer work???? its very annoying writing all those commands to delete certain files, smh HELP!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] gab1972:
When I flashed this ROM, no. I was coming from cyanogenmod and I just flashed over top of it.

What would wiping dalvik and ext4 have anything to do with Where not working? Just curious. Also, I'm assuming I need to copy the contents of my SD before doing a ext4wipe?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Was it working before, if it was then it is you that broke these things and not the build.

As of right now I am running a Beta 1.3 (or 2.0), and it seems to be fixed. For now, invest in SUFB or wait as I can understand your frustration (I used to have it also)
[G1 Android Development] MERKJONES:
I never could get Bluetooth to start on my G1. Is this normal? I remember I flashed an earlier version of this, and it didn't work - the new version doesn't work either.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
It's broken in the latest version (and a few other versions if I remember correctly), it should be fixed in 1.3 (Or 2.0, these number things are killing me)

swype beta is closed so it wont work anymore, check firerats sig, he has the one that can work on any android:D
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
That is why your having your issues then.

If you wipe ext then you will not lose whats on your sdcard...you will only lose whats on your sdcard if you "Partition SDCARD" or "Format SDCARD"

Use a program to backup your apps....there are numerous free ones and paid ones that do the job well. (Backup for Root) (MyBackup Pro)

I use MyBackup Pro because its a very nifty program.

Wiping dalvik cache and ext (if ur on a g1 anyway) is very important when switching between roms...you could get away without doing that if its a no wipe update for the same rom....and maybe some other rare occasions.
[G1 Android Development] dangambino:
whats in this build that allows facebook to sync with google contacts, thats not in any other eclair build?????????????????????????????????:confused:

edit: also, anyone gotten JIT to work prior to the 2.0 release???????
[G1 Android Development] thepoetvd776:
How fast is this compared to a donut rom? is it still lagging?

can anyone review, i haven't flashed a new rom in about 3-4 weeks and i'm filling the itch to do so, it's just that I have to wait for a phone call for a job interview.

on a side note, does Google Voice work with this?
[G1 Android Development] badmonopoly:
It's pretty slow compared to cyan. I want to switch back but can't. Eclair dicks **** up bad for me. Flash never works successfully. 1st time I tried eclair it didn't work and I had to restore about 10 times before cyan would boot. It just messes my **** up and now I can't get rid of it :mad:

GV works fine.

[G1 Android Development] marshallladd:
I got the same problem. In fact all Google apps disappeared after the acore crash and never came back. Only issue I had though. Gonna play some more and see what I can come up with.

Cant wait for 2.0
[G1 Android Development] TheLaughingMan:
First of all let me start off by saying I love this ROM and really appreciate all the hard work you guys have put into it! Long live OE :D

As you can tell I'm relatively new to the XDA community and haven't really ever posted (been a long time lurker xD) but, figured I'd break my silence to come out and thank the devs on this one.

So far here are my thoughts:

1. I love the fact that "Menu" is now disabled for unlocking. I know some people want this back, I say, let us have both and have it be an option in Spare Tools

2. I personally like the 2D gallery better than 3D, so maybe have this be an option as well?

3. Device seems to run fairly warm now and battery life seems a bit shorter, so maybe look into some power conservation be it in the form of slowing down the clock for the processor, etc.

4. I liked the old boot animation :P this one may have a nice "exploding" effect, but, as a previous poster mentioned it looks low res and it isn't as cool as the neat blue old one (hehe, I realize this isn't a major issue, just my $0.02)

On a side note. I followed the instructions on a different website to format the SD Card and go from ext2 > ext3 > ext4 and everything, but now I'm noticing that I only have ~200MB available on my SD Card out of 1GB (or so). Does the OS need this space and that's what I was doing earlier or is that space hiding somewhere? I only ask because I liked having a bunch of space for my GBA roms :D and my SD card is where I kept them
[G1 Android Development] String Theory:
Hi Guys, don't know if you're still looking for beta testers? If so, I would absolutely like to help!

Sim Toolit

Hi, I'm using this rom and really like it. Now I'd like my Magic to show me the "home zone symbol"... I think this is somehow sim toolkit related, isn't it?

Can anyone confim this and tell me, wether I need a specific version of stk.apk for installation on openeclair rom and if so, point me to the file :-) ?
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Use of 3D without 3D drivers puts the 3D stuff onto the CPU. That makes it slow and eats up battery.

I think he's at a music festival right now, so I doubt it'll come out this weekend or pretty much any of his spring break. I've temporarily switched until he comes back and drops a public release because I really need to use GPS and tethering and both are broken in the last release. :D
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I'm a total newbie when it comes to OE, but it looks exciting so I've been reading up on it constantly for a day or so now!

I'm a little confused about the two threads that exist. The other thread seems to have an older version of OE based on an older version of AOSP 2.1, and apparently has a larger install size because of it's DangerSPL requirement. The ROM is this thread is a newer version of OE based on a newer version of Android, and can be used with the stock SPL. Am I correct here? Why two separate threads?

ringtones that i download do not show up, or allow me to set as

my facebook, news, and other widgets do not auto update?

i am wondering if users have issues with scandisk sd cards

i have a hdc 4gb and it gives me issues

other than thos few problems, this has been a fast and relible rom
[G1 Android Development] TheLaughingMan:
Not too bad actually. Fastest ROM I've played around with and seems stable enough although there is some lag. If you have to have BT then you'll need OE 1.2.1 though. Still some issues to work out but hopefully once Wes gets better from H1N1 OE v3 will be coming out :D
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:

[G1 Android Development] xaueious:
Memory leak for 3D in Live wallpaper only or in general?

And as for video not working, someone can try patching the video driver files and see if that does any good?

I guess this is on at least the same level of SuperEclair if not a bit more optimized.

Something is wrong with 1.3.

Notification Bar icons and overall text is totally messed up, instead of the battery icon there is a sync icon, instead of edge bluetooth etc. Strings are also messed up, e.g. the menu after long pressing shutdown has mute two times, vibrate and fligth mode, but no shutdown...
