I'm confused

I noticed that on the newest release froyo 4.2 that this rom is running some of firerat's patches on boot. This does not need to be done at each boot. There is noise coming from my device saying that things have already been patched when booting up every time (logcat). Also I mounted my ext partition to my linux computer and transfered all my apps to my sdcard right after flashing this rom. Still the apps do not show in the app drawer. So If I use titanium backup to restore my apps, will they be on ext? Guess I'll try that next and come back to edit this when I'm done.:confused:
[G1 Android Development] 1024k:
Well done chromer!!

Flashed over 4.1 and all is working, wifi too :)

No major issues only one reboot after used market first time.

Great home in memory, than you!

Overclocking?

Hey, finally thought i should upgrade from 3.9 and this is great! :D tried compcache = bad idea, ironically stalled the phone HEAPS!! FC central, non stop everything FCing took me 30mins to go back and uncheck it. Just a warning for those who are tempted :)

So I was just wondering if there is a way to overclock over 576 with setcpu? On 3.9 was hitting 820ish ms on short bench with launcher pro at 614. Have launcher pro now on 576 and hitting 1000s on short bench. Anything? anyone? Cheers :)

And also, Apps2ext isnt working for me. Tried moving some apps manually and had to uninstall and reinstall, so that was a bad idea. Any way to fix this?
[G1 Android Development] brentsizzle:
this does not work... it is unable to find com.android.gallery.apk and when i type "cd data/app" then "ls" the gallery app does not show up.

-edit

nevermind. i used titanium backup and deleted camera 2.1-update. i now only have one gallery icon. great success.
[G1 Android Development] Guitoux:
Just flashed 4.2 over 4.1 and no trouble ! :)

Swap is active at boot, but does it take the partition or a swap file ?

Thanks for the black keyboard, looks great.
[G1 Android Development] yohshua:
with 4.2 whats the bettery life you guys have been getting so far?
[G1 Android Development] :
Okay seriously…

Love the rom but as with others claiming to have apps2ext I'm completely and utterly dumb founded as to actually get it working! Has anyone got it working and if so… HOW???
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
I would go with Firerat's original script to handle apps2ext.

Here is how I'm doing it with every ROM:

First install the biggest apps (my case CoPilot and Navigon)

run the script and allow it to move the apps to SD.

Then install all other apps that I would like to have on SD.

Run the script again and let it move all to ext partition.

Last - install the apps I would like to have on the internal storage (dialer, Handcent SMS, theme for AWD).

You can also chose to move dalvik-cache to ext partition from that script.

With 40 apps I still have 60 MB free (dalvik and data still on the internal partition).

And the only thing I do extra is to move data/data/ directories of CoPilot and Navigon to external partition cause those dirs are HUGE in size.
[G1 Android Development] 1024k:
Probably found a bug: "update all" from the market make the phone reboot.

Update apps one by one not.
[G1 Android Development] :
Aaaahhh thanks but man that's too much hassle :D

With 184 apps (and that's the cut down version!) too much like hard work and with the other problems of froyo at the moment I'm just gonna stick with what's in my sig, it runs like a dream and does everything I need so happy days. Think I'll wait for cyan to release a stable before bothering again. Thanks again for clarifying.

Chromer Chromer

Finally made the jump to 2.2 last night. (out of town a lot). It is sick. Went through all the options and set it up the way i like it as far as looks and the performance to your specs. It is stupid fast. Slick as can be. So glad i finally got on board. Cant thank you enough. Keep up the great work. Fastest rom this phone has seen by far. :)
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
Good Lord, 184 apps? You must be a busy whole day just running every app once.

I would say getting so much on Froyo is not a problem.

You can chose Super@tmel's ROM with its build-in apps2ext support. Once you turn it on everything is installed on the ext partition.

With Chromatic and FR's script you would need to split your 184 apps into ca 30 apps per shot portions and install it via some sort of a script and then move the apps to SD.

Everything is possible.
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
Flashing now. Thanks for your continued work on the g1 :)
[G1 Android Development] dnd02220:

[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Big reply :)

Honestly, I'm struggling with time to get the releases out that I do. I would suggest using something like metamorph or ninjamorph, or flashing a theme built for CM 6 if you want to change the looks.

If the patch works, use that! I see a lot of permission issues in your log, if you can do a wipe and re-flash, and before setting up anything (including logging into Google, or turning on wifi, run fix_permissions. That should help your situation greatly.

It should not affect anything if you use the modified settings.apk pending it is designed for CM6 :)

Nope, clear your cache! :) Site is working fine.

http://chromatic.r00t.la/Releases/chromatic_fixarm9crashtest-signed.zip

Try running this patch (flash in recovery over top) let me know if that does not fix it.

It is automatic. please read the OP about what NOT to mess with.

Titanium backup is the best for backing up and restoring apps, and settings. but you must buy the full version for it to be worth it :) and its totally worth it!

Thanks yo!

Whats happening? The script in 4.2 should do this automatically for you...

This happened to me on the first load of the camera, open up your gallery and let all the pics load then re-boot, and try the camera again.

Yes, it is running it on boot. This makes the apps2ext work, I said it wasn't pretty :) It makes it easier for all of the users who don't want to manually move their apps using the script, by doing it on boot.

I'm waiting on the OC kernels until we have a final build. 576 seems good for me so far :) Don't try to move them manually, the script in 4.2 will mount your ext partition and make it available when installing apps. You dont need to do anything. See the OP.

It just works :) you don't have to do anything.

Not necessary, but whatever works. I have 75 apps installed and didn't touch a single setting to make it go to ext.

Clear your cache in your browser, it was down for half a day last week but has been up since then.

wifi not working? I would wipe and re-flash. If you are getting reboots when turning on wifi install this patch. http://chromatic.r00t.la/Releases/chromatic_fixarm9crashtest-signed.zip

But you cannot chose which app goes to internal /data partition and which is being transfered to SD card.

Hey Guys,

My Desgin "BX-Destiny" for Rom Chromatic 4.2

mfg LordSeth
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
tis true, but thats not an issue with ext, you really only need to worry about things being on the SD card if using Froyo's method of apps2FAT since it will cause issues when mounting the SD card or using widgets. Ext is basically just as good as internal storage, at least IMO.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:

ok same say app2sd working same say it's not...I have 89apps install & my Internal Storage is 22.32MB..so i say its not working..so let me know is it working or not?..when I'm on your 2.1 Rom's my Internal Storage is 71MB w/ the same amount of apps..do i need to move them manually?
[G1 Android Development] kowal_001:
Go to: Settings>CyanogenMod Settings

Application settings> Check Allow application moving (DO NOT CHANGE INSTALL LOCATION FROM AUTOMATIC, IT WILL CAUSE ISSUES WITH APPS2EXT)

Did you do that? If not, do this, them reeboot your phone. It works for me.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
The sheer fact you were able to fit 89 apps on a G1 insinuates that it is working. Its not pretty but be happy you have all of your apps and some space to spare! If you can do the same thing on CM6 stock then I will eat my words... :) Try it, let me know!
[G1 Android Development] fritzmann:
is there a way to uninstall adw launcher over terminal?

oder just with adb....and are these the right lines for adb?

adb remount
adb shell "rm /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk"
adb uninstall org.adw.launcher
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
As I have mentioned multiple times - apps2sd moves only apk files while data and dalvik-cache stays on the internal partition.

You can improve that either moving and linking biggest data dirs by yourself or using Firerat's script for apps2sd instead the one build in or after installing apps you can run FR's patch script and move/bound /data/data dir to external partition.

My G1 with 40 apps (some of them are huge) has right now 93MB free space.
[G1 Android Development] Houka420:
Download stock http://www.mediafire.com/?yrintywz21m or whatever launcher you want to use:

ADB

adb remount

adb push stock-launcher.apk /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk

or

get into your terminal and place the launcher on your sdcard.

$su

#mount -o rw,remount /system

#cp /sdcard/(launcher filename).apk /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk

#reboot

Should be good to go. :)
[G1 Android Development] jidavies:
Im running aprox 90 apps on four different G1's, also, using live wallpapers, and still have about 77-80mb free internal phone storage, Again four different phones, My secret is, SSHHHHH, I read the install directions. LOLOL Thanks Chrome for your dedication you do a superb job!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] fritzmann:
thanks for your fast reply but i think i need something else....

i have installed Launcher Pro from marekt and want now to remove ADWlauncher from 4.2

thanks again
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/ADWLauncher.apk

and done (mostly, cause you need to delete adequate files and dirs in dalvik-cache and /data/data/).
[G1 Android Development] Blackman778g:
Should I flash only 4.2? or from 4.0 and flash my way up? :confused:

I've been keeping up with the updates but will the apps 2 sd bring back existing apps?
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Wipe everything and flash 4.2 best bet for a clean install, if you already have apps on your ext partition you will get all kinds of permission issues if you begin mounting the ext partition as it does in 4.2
[G1 Android Development] Blackman778g:
Froyo Time!

Alright thanks. Time to move on to Froyo. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] Zei:
Some of us DO read the instructions wise guy :D.... but nothing happens. In my case, NONE of my apps tried to download from the marketplace at all and this is after 2 installs. So I use T-backup and it still doesnt help at all. it went from 70MB down to 2MB. I dont wanna reformat my internal partitions and then not be able to flash a 2.1 if I need to do so.

Im gonna try again and see what happens and report back
[G1 Android Development] jidavies:
Notification Bar.

Chrome,

On my phones I have changed the colors of the Notification bar to match the colors of the live wallpapers, With all the different adjustments and having to reboot to see the changes, Can you tell me what exact setting changes the color of the 3g icon, the signal bar icon and the battery icon, so it will match the rest of the bar? or can those even be adjusted???

Thanks

Jason
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Those items are images and can not be adjusted, without changing the image :)
[G1 Android Development] jidavies:
Sorry Im not meaning to be offensive, you should try doing that clean reformat, I did this with all the phones in the family, then i did the instructions as chrome says to do, then i loaded all the backed up files and apk"s from my computer and installed them 1 by 1. I also moved the apps that i do not want running all the time to the sd card through Application>manage apps.. I have had 0 issues, Again, I apologize, I hope this helps you..
[G1 Android Development] jidavies:
They are fine like that thanks... :)
[G1 Android Development] LordXeth:
Thank you..
[G1 Android Development] Zei:
No none was taking at all, I was just joking man...sorry about that.:o

Im guessing that ill have to use another restore method if T-backup isnt working to restore
[G1 Android Development] Postal Dude:
Sorry if this has already been answered, can i flash 4.2 over a generic Cyano Nightly?
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
should be OK, if you don't have apps living on your ext partition. If you have issues though, wipe!
[G1 Android Development] patriot1973:
Is it just me or does everyone else have severe slowdowns with incoming calls? It will start ringing and I will not be able to either:

1. See the incoming call screen to identify the caller. It's just black forever! Sometimes it will get to VM before the screen comes up. I don't like to answer if I don't know who it is first.

2. Won't allow me to answer by pressing the button. I have to hit it 3, 4 times before it answers.

I also see it takes a few seconds to hang up the phone after I hit the end button. What in the wide, wide world of sports is going on? Been like this since 4.0.

Any ideas? PLEASE?
[G1 Android Development] patriot1973:
A quick question...

Now that 4.2 has the lock home in memory feature back, do I also need to use the system persistent selection in ADW settings?

Also, what is VM heap size and what would I optimally want to set it to?

Hey! I just want to start by saying thanks to you chromer. Your roms look amazing and 4.2 is rocking on my G1. Best rom I've ever used, I would have found 3.x while I was playing around with 2.1.

I have a question tho. On my dad's G1 I did the mtd partition hack (which worked perfectly on my phone) and now when going into recovery it say Can't open Catch: recovery/log missing or something along those lines. Does anyone have any idea about how to fix this? Ant help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

And again thanks for your hard work chromer your rom is the best out there

I had the same issue. This happened to me when I forgot to apply the boot.zip patch after I upgraded to 4.2.

What I did was fastboot wipe entire system:

fastboot erase system -w

then run:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img

to apply the recovery image again. Then start all over with the MTD hack...

Will try a complete wipe and do the process all over againg but, should I wait until after all my apps have been restored before I select "allow application moving"?

[G1 Android Development] pardus:
Experiencing a huge slowdown after a while, with no additional apps installed. Done a full wipe but still the same, is there anything I can do to speed things up or prevent this slowdown? JIT or compcache perhaps?

Also what is the "boot.zip patch"? (post 1309)
[G1 Android Development] 1024k:
For me jit works fine no FC or random reboot and the phone is fast.

Did you place home in memory?

I always get low free memory into autokiller processes, 15mb or low, any hint?
[G1 Android Development] pardus:
Home is in memory, perhaps I'll try JIT...
[G1 Android Development] danielrouse:
Sluggish over time on G1

I think I'm also experiencing a similar slowdown. Upon first installing, the phone was lightning fast.

I've installed only a handful of apps, none of which are running in the background and the phone is noticeably slower. Once I'm in an application, it is fast enough, but getting into a new app, returning to the home screen, rotating the screen when I've got an application open, all take too long (5-10 seconds at least). It seems to go in and out of being very sluggish.

My setup:

G1 - Chromatic 4.2

8GB Class 6 - 128MB Swap, 512MB EXT2, Rest as FAT

JIT On

Swap On

Launcher in memory

Compcache Off

SetCPU: 576 Max, 122 Min

Any ideas? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] 1024k:
Did you flashed over 4.1 or full wipe?
[G1 Android Development] pardus:
Did full wipe coming from stock. Likewise was fast at first boot but now slow, also intermittent, last night it slowed to an absolute crawl with minutes going by before something on the screen changed.

Mine:

G1 - Chromatic 4.2

2GB Class 2 - 32MB Swap, 512MB EXT2, Rest as FAT

JIT On

Swap On

Launcher in memory

Surface Dithering Off

Compcache Off

VM Heap Size 16MB

SetCPU: 576 Max, 245 Min
[G1 Android Development] 1024k:
Was same to me after flashed over 4.1.

Yesterday I did a full wipe and now the phone works without any major problem.

The only point is come back to vertical after 90° display rotation, is not very fast.

Anyway I set settings as suggested into the first post and enabled jit, stay away from compcache.
[G1 Android Development] danielrouse:
I also did a full wipe (including a "fastboot erase system -w").

Is my swap partition too large? Should I adjust the "swappiness"?
[G1 Android Development] WaveMaster1406:
Nice bro! :D

i've flashed it! it's so fast!!!!

thx
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
It will do this on the first incoming call, then once it figures out how to process calls :P it will be faster going forward. If you are having this issue everytime, you may want to wipe and start over :(

No, The system persistent function was Ander's attempt at replicating the lock home in memory, so if you are using lock in home dont use the sys persis. For VM heap size, leave it default :)

I know, sorry if I came across grumpy! I was just explaining the hackishness of it all :P

Sadly, I had the same thing happen :( the joys of running pre-release/not-meant-for-your-phone software. Of course, I'm looking into the issue!

Just In Time is what it stands for, our first gen devices do not actually have enough memory to fully utilize it, you may see a bump of a couple points in linpack, but since it is not true JIT, it will not affect performance much, if at all.

Market will do that from time to time, try running fix_permissions. As for the Sim contacts, I have never done that so I'm not going to be much help on that :-/

Lock home in memory is the only thing I recommend in performance settings, compcache makes things worse and JIT does not really do anything at this point.

If you are seeing severe slowdowns, something is causing it, uninstall your apps 1x1 until it relieves the issue. Its possible that your restored apps (if using titanium or something similar) are not completely compatible with Froyo.

If you have home locked in memory you are going to get low memory warnings. Its "locked" in memory, and depending on your desktop config could be taking up most of your memory.

128 MB of swap....mmmhmmm there is your issue :) Back that down to like 32MB MAX.

Yeah back that down :)

[G1 Android Development] danielrouse:

Thanks for the replies, chromersmith, awesome work too!!

quick question again: what is "boot.zip patch"? (post 1309)
[G1 Android Development] droidmage:
The boot.zip patch we were talking about is the second part of an mtd partition hack I believe by firerat. Look back to page 88 or 89 on here I believe for the link

Thank you Falsehope that did the trick.
[G1 Android Development] chromersmith:
Swap uses your SD card as additional RAM basically. And its uber slow, compared to internal RAM, so if you make your partition huge, it tries to fill that up, instead of using the much faster internal RAM. If you have a class 6 or higher SD card the speeds are a little better, but still you dont want to overdo it. It can also kill your SD card.

They got you on this.. :)

Turn off JIT and make your swap 96 mbs. Not really necessary but might want to up your ext to ext 3 or 4.
