@ Cannon202, Tsheeley, Firerat

Hey so everything seems to be working on my 32B but im getting some glitches and i wanted to know if it was fixable / if anyone else is getting these.

My set up with this rom.

compache is enabled (heard it might help, i dunno how i feel about that, lol)

minfree is set at mild (heard that helped too but i havent really noticed the diff)

flashed regular 2.1 (not the anyspl)

mytouch 32b

eng spl 1.33.2010?

latest radio

8g no swap, no ext, all fat32

These are all minor but definately irritating.

1. usb recognizes on first use then, it only charges?

(i'm going to try the fix_permissions method but could it be added to the FAQ? only in case i do it wrong and I / we can ref. back to the OG thread, i keep forgetting what page i read it on)

2. My phone, contacts, messages, ect take about five secs to load, then another 2 secs to apply names to my phone numbers?

is there a ways to speed this up?

3. my phone randomly rings(that wierd nasty rounding ringer, not my set ringtone) when i unmount my phone, shut it off. basically when the sd card is "preparing" its self.

furthermore, Thanks for your great efforts and thanks for making my old intrument play a new note :-)

Is it normal that the ROM is much faster on a Magic, than on a Dream, for normal things? On my Magic, it is like using donut ROM.

On my G1, it is slow.

i'm not 100% sure if renaming it works. i know that someone in a previous thread took the VoiceSearchWithKeyboard and renamed it to LatineIME.apk and it worked for him. therefore, i'm just recalling this method from his own test. otherwise, the system will not recognize the swype.apk, etc. i've dropped random apk's like chomp into system/app in the past and obviously since its not the coding? it won't read it as an installed app. nonetheless, goodluck, hope it works for you :).
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
1.ive had the same issue with usb on CM and the variants. but actually i think its been working fine on this one.

2.Hmm i heard theres a Phone Prioritizer apk that can help with that, try searching the forums for it.

3. Yeah I find the SD Card notification extremely irritating as well. I dont know if theres an option to turn it off.
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
thank you! I did tried it and so far it got past the g1 screen so im hoping for the best now. Hopefully once I get it working Ill be sure to credit you! Thanks again! :D

edit: broken bootloop, mustve done something wrong lol. sorry to be a bother, but would you mind seeing the logcat?
[G1 Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
i do it this way..

wipe

flash rom

boot fully (there wont be a google login)

remove Launcher Pro

reboot recovery

flash ADW Launcher

flash black theme

boot fully (there wont be a google login)

turn on Apps2SD so my google apps + all other apps go onto sd

run firerats swap script (i dont recommend this for most users)

reboot recovery

flash gapps

flash dumfuqs Patch for multitasking (testing this mod/kernal out)

reboot fully (skip google login)

setup home screens and then login to google thru market

setup other accounts

download all apps, etc etc

here you can just use untill your next reboot or you can reboot one last time to make a nandroid so you dont lose all your work.

i may be a little overboard and have my initial setup method seem like overkill but it helps get everything running smoothly for me and i usually stick with that setup for a long time
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
i'm no expert when it comes to logcats. i'm a constant learner myself. firerat is the man for that, he's really smart with reading those things. however, go ahead and post it and i'll download the .txt file and read it and see where the error is occurring.

generally when it comes to themes, you get bootloops if you accidentally replace wrong files particularly .xml or .jar files. that's why you want to make sure you are only modifying .png's and .9.png's. just changing the LatinIME.apk shouldn't create any problems. worst case scenario would be that it wouldn't install, that's all.
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
i didnt touch any xml's or jar's those are a lil too advanced for me haha.

I read over it and though my knowledge of code is veryyy limited i think its something wrong with gallery 3d..i attached it in a zip if you dont mind, thank you! =]
[G1 Android Development] asb123:
Hmmm, 3d games stopped working after a reboot.
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
it looked quite confusing, but i read alot of things where you were not getting permission for certain activities and some things failed. make sure you are not just throwing in random things. if something is wrong with gallery 3d. then dont mess with it, just take the stock gallery 3d that is used in this rom and leave it alone. honestly, if u just download the any spl version again. you can start over. open it up, replace only png files. then sign it and set it up. after u see that it runs. start moving around your apks. just dont use old apks that arent compatible with the rom etc.
[G1 Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
why are there 2 clock apps?

whats the terminal code to remove "alarm clock"?
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Is that safe?

I think users should be made aware that their phones will be over-clocked by default. If I didn't use SetCPU, I would have had no idea the max frequency was 576. The performance is awesome, but I'm a little concerned about hardware longevity. :)

Overall, this is an awesome ROM! It's the fastest ROM I've ever used, and surpasses the already high standard set by CE2.0. It really is great to breath new life into older devices. The only issue for me at this point is getting the black bar patch to work. Other than maybe deleting needless ringtones for more space, I'm still clueless as to why it won't boot after applying the patch.
[G1 Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
anyway to make the Text with Black Theme White or idk something visible?

i.e. Clock is black text on black background
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
as mentioned many times in all new eclair threads, it is located in spare parts at the bottom, there's general where clock is and notifications for your notification menu/title colors. i hope many people read this for future reference so you don't piss others off because they won't answer you like i did....most of the time.

wireless tethering

this is the latest .apk that i found somewhere from the CM forum or here ... sorry can't remember... but i tested on CM 5.0.7 test 6 or 7 and it worked. hope that helps, enjoy :D
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
Second Partition

that is not a noobish question at all .. there can absolutely be a conflict between switching ROMs .. many people do not even look to the EXT partition on the sdcard when posting problems with flashing the ROM .. i had one instance myself on the same ROM where i had to delete an APK file in order to flash the update .. for people who have tried wiping and flashing and still have troubles (since the EXT partition does NOT get wiped) it is a very good place to examine
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I wasn't trying to be disrespectful or anything, I was just saying I understand if you didn't feel like being bothered with it. Especially since there is the themed version on anyspl I haven't tried yet and that might work. That being said, I'll still give this a go if you want, but I wont be able to do so for a bit because I'm away on work for several days and don't plan on doing any flashing or altering till I get back to home base. I assume a full wipe should be done first, correct? Again appreciate the help.

Edit: I just read some more threads and it seems this whole thing may be a moot issue for several reasons. 1. There's another full anyspl themed version of CE posted and I could give that a go 2. Just noticed CM 5.0.8 Test has been released which means 5.0.8 shall be out soon enough which means CE 2.1.? will soon follow which hopefully leads you to make an anyspl version of each (fingers crossed!) and 3. your anyspl CM5 has been running wonders for me the last few days. I don't get any of the slow down, battery drain, reboots and other issues I've been reading other users experience. This thing is smooth for me and I'm very happy with it. So with all that being said, do you still want me to do it?

My bad, just figured I'd relay my experience just in case anyone ran into something similar.

As soon as I say that! lol What spl are you currently using?
[G1 Android Development] kwanbis:
I keep hearing the performance is great, but it is not that great for me on the G1, but wonderful on the Magic.

Mostly when i switch from one app to another, or for example, if i'm on an app, and press dialer.

It takes seconds, 5/9 seconds to open. This is not happening on my Dream.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
You can turn off the sd notification in the Sound & display settings. I'm surprised that no one else goes through every item in the settings menu and spare parts when they first set up a new ROM... I can't be the only one. A few of the basic problems can be solved just from giving a quick peek into your settings.

For the other 2 things... I haven't had any problems with USB or speed issues. It's like greased lightning on my end.

I think folks try to over complicate things, as mentioned before... keep it simple... the solution is more than likely right in front of you.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Have you tried the A2SD fix by Ch4m3l30n here?

What about doing a full Titanium backup of your apps (so you don't lose any settings), full wipe, flash base, flash black, flash google, and then finally restoring the Titanium backup?
[G1 Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
I'm finally able to run swap and mutlitask on this rom and im LOVING it.

check out dumfuqs new mod/patch/kernal for multitasking and i used firerats all in one patch and simply did a "run all" scripts.

i can have pandora playing in the background while having a game open, mms saved in background, and browsing the web.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
What's the link to the thread for the kernal?

[G1 Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
thanks firerat!

fyi im NOT using the overclock one, ive actually shy'd away from trying to get this thing running at 800, im keeping it at 480 right now and its perfectly fine/speedy.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Thanks FR & Foo!

I'll probably give my current setup another few days to get a good feel for how it's running on stock - then do my usual BART and try out Dumfuqs kernel.
[G1 Android Development] Evil-Monkey:
These are not Major Performance Issues, but help me out. :]

I have turned off / changed all my settings and as I said on my post i was mentioning the few

glitches

on my end.

I was looking for more a specific info about my specific set up.

I keep hearing this ROM is awesome and stuff... I currently running it but its got these glitches that kill it for me. so i was wondering if i could do something else to boost its performance. this ROM would be perfect if it loaded my contacts, text, (basic phone functions) on demand instead of lagging for 5 secs (not making this up) then only show numbers for another 2 secs before it decideds to load the names.

Also, i have turned of the sd notification and it still does this ugly ring when i turn the phone on and off.

my usb is still glitchy after running fix permissions.

my set up

32b

no swap, no ext, all fat32 (i thought, this rom didnt need it so i didnt go with it. but i will if this is why im having these minor bugs)

spl 1.33.2010 (not danger, but i was still able to flash the regular zip, but i will flash the anyzip version if i must)

latest radio

Im doing this to attempt to fix my lagg on the contacts load time,ect. thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Thanks man.. ive been looking for that..
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
Please change your op in regards to apps2sd and google apps. Data is mounted at mtdblock5, and then apps to sd does a bind mount of the folders /data/app and /data/app-private to corresponding folders on the sd. Google apps install to system which is mounted at mtdblock3. Thus, it is cleary not the case.
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Hey everyone i have one problem when i am using my MT3G n i connect the USB to it i cannot mount it.. (It mounts in recovery fine) but when i connect my G1 to the USB it connects fine anyone know why its happening?
[G1 Android Development] gantp2007:
Is there anything I can do to fix the led issue?
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I'm at a loss really as to what would be causing this.

For you, the regular and anyspl flavors shouldn't have any differences other than that the anyspl version is about 3mb smaller. Being that you're on a MT, you also don't really need ext or swap partitions, so that shouldn't be causing it.

Were you coming directly from CM5, or some other variant? If so, did you do a full wipe first?

Do you have pictures on a lot of your contacts... maybe try turning off that option?

You could try using a file manager with root abilities (like Root Explorer) and actually deleting the sound file for the sd notification... but turning off the option should have fixed that.

Other than all that, you could try using your favorite backup method, do a full wipe and then reflashing everything.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I'll try connecting via USB when I go home for lunch in about a half hour. I don't think I've tried doing it outside of recovery yet.

What LED issue?
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Ok ive flashed both my MT3G n my G1n they r working fine actually pretty perfect..

Once again thanks Cannon and Firerat for this awesome ROM.. The Greatest of all ROMs..
[G1 Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
can someone explain what this means? lol
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
it not using the old a2sd script

technically they were not bind mounts, but symlinks

instead the framework looks in five locations for apps ( /system/app /data/(app,app-private) /sd-ext/(app,app-private)

anyway, apps2sd works fine

However, I have noticed issues where once you have less than 10mb on Data, you get 'stuck' regardless of how much space you make available

you should turn a2sd on as soon as possible, especially if you have the google settings backup set

( settings --> private ) if you have a lot of apps you will quickly fill data after a google signin ( it automatically downloads your apps/settings ), you will run into problems sooner on DangerSPL ( which is why I use NoneDanger btw )

if you have a2sd problems ( can't install apps via Market )

backup your current apps ( Titanium Backup )

unset the google backup ( settings Private )

wipe and re-flash ROM + gapps

turn on a2sd ( settings --> applications )*

restore backups

* optionally set a2sd once you have restored your most used apps, but be mindfull of how much space you have available on data, switch to a2sd if you have less than 30mb free on internal storage
[G1 Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
Does the "Back up my settings" even function? Would there be major benefits to turn that off?

I'm good on memory however, i even turned on my apps2sd before flashing gapps. I have tons of apps already downloaded and have 284MB of Internal memory and 408mb of partition. I still plan on downloading a lot more games aswell.
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
the issue/"feature" (as some call it) where the led only comes on when the screen is off and turns off when the screen on. every eclair has this issue.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yes it works, and its a real pain as it will restore 'broken' settings

but you have an MT3G, so as long as you don't have any 'broken'/corrupt app settings you are fine

lol

what does turning a2sd on before flashing gapps have to do with anything?

they get flashed to /system/app

far too many people do not understand what is happening with these ROMS
[G1 Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
guess not, someone mentioned that theyd be flashed to sd but guess not. either way, phone is running top notch.

quick question on your patch, is it set to any specific size or did you allow it to use as much as it needed?
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Well... I'm home... had no problems mounting and unmounting my SD via USB. Also, while I was at the office, I copied the sounds from /system/media to the SD so I could see how big it is... it's only just under 3mb.

For the LED... why would you need to have it flashing at you while the screen is on anyways? I'm not seeing how no flashing while the screen is on is a bad thing.
[G1 Android Development] speedysilwady:
yeah usb works great on this rom but not the original cm for me.

it was more convenient how the leds worked before 2.1 because sometimes id get a notification turn on the screen real quick, then id get distracted with something other than the phone and id forget to check the notification and the leds helped remind me i still had to get to it.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
A lot of people also don't know the inner workings of the ROMs like you do. So once someone finds a method that "works", no matter how broken and backwards it might sound, they'll try it as long as it gets the job done in the end.

Now that we have this extra knowledge... I'll update the FAQ to point to your post about the proper way to setup CE on a G1. ;) :D
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Let me know how that goes becuz i was thinking of doing it..
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
No problem... I'll throw my 2 cents in here sometime next week about it. I'm in no hurry to go doing anything else to my rig, it's running really nice right now.

You could also do your preferred backup method and just flash it... I haven't seen any negative things said in the thread it's posted in... if all else fails, just restore your backup.

Be adventurous. ;)
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Ya i know i think of sticking with this for a while unless Cannon comes out with something else in the future.. Becuz my phone is running smooth as butter.. lol I cant be anymore happier with how my phone is performing.. Its GGrreeaaatttt.. lol
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
I've updated the FAQ - now both A2SD questions point to your proper setup for a G1.

If there is anything else that you or Cannon think could be done better - please say so.
[G1 Android Development] Evil-Monkey:
I did a full wipe and all that. i have my sd card partitioned at 0 swap, 0 ext, all fat 32. i was thinking that was the deal but im sure its not. Im coming from Pays Donut, which was perfect but i wanted to try something new and i ran CE2.o went back to Pays now here. I dunno man. Im going to try the any slp zip see how that goes.

That doesnt work i'll enable swap and stuff. i was trying to run as stock as possible but we cant have everything :). as for the glitches, i'll deal with the wierd ringer when i shut my phone on/off. Reboot the phone to to reset the usb thing, it seems to be working that way.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Sorry I can't help you out more. I just seem to be really lucky that all my flashing has always gone so smoothly.

If you get it working proper, let us know what you did in the end. Good luck.
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I could try that, but based on what Gen00 described here, I still don't think it'll work. Originally I thought the black bar patch needed to be flashed immediately after the ROM and before gapps, but he flashed the same order I did and it works for him. The only difference is SPL's, so I think that's what it comes down to. By the way, what is the "FR-Patch132.txt all" he mentions?

Is anyone else worried about the stock CE2.1 kernel? By default, it over-clocks your device from 528 MHz up to 576. That doesn't sound totally safe to me.
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Its a patch that firerat did for CM n it works for CE2.1 as well it does a few things like live wallpaper to work n a few other things take a look here for more info on what it does..

edit: on the overclocking thing i set it back to 528 on SetCPU i was running it at 576 for a while till you said something n it was running fine but i switched bck till someone tills me its ok for it to run 576 if its ok ill put it bck to 576..
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
That's what I did too. I'm not saying for sure that it's dangerous in this case, but the general rule is that over-clocking is a risky thing to do. My guess is nothing truly dangerous would be included in CM5, but until I hear for sure it's 100% safe, I'm running mine at 528.
[G1 Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
you guys are missing out, truely a "must have" mod.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Try FRs method here instead of the other one. From what FR said, thats probably the issue you're having. At this point, what have you got to loose.

The "fr-patch132.txt all" is the All-in-One Patching Script from the FAQ.

I'm not worried, since SetCPU was installed when I restored all my apps with Titanium - and with it my setup of max being set to 528mhz... but, I do think it should be something that's disclosed in the OP.

We know for a fact that it's OC'd?
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
How would enabling apps2sd allow my phone to boot after flashing the black bar patch? Even with all my apps installed on my phone's internal memory, I still have 30MB free. FR said the patch only adds 115k to the install size.

I agree it should be mentioned in the OP, or your FAQ/patch post. Yes, it is definitely OC'd. The stock G1/MT3G max is 528, so any available frequency over that means the kernel is OC-ing/UV-ing the processor.
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
*shrug* I dunno... if I had a G1, I'd be more than willing to test these methods out. It's at least worth a shot after a Nandroid or BART.

I'll add it to the FAQ either tonight or tomorrow morning... I think I remember seeing Cannon confirm somewhere in here that it was.
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
I might try it out.. whats the advantages?
[G1 Android Development] tsheeley:
Check out the thread. The short version is that it returns the use of swap to the way it was before CM5.
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
But is that a good thing or a bad thing?
[G1 Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
i mean hands down a HUGE advantage is you can now use more then one app at a time. before if i wanted to listen to music while browsing facebook i couldnt, the system would automatically kill all background apps wether it needed the memory or not, now i can run 5 apps FAST together at the same time.

Also, swap is made useful again and has positive effects instead of negative.
[G1 Android Development] Gen00:
Ok but i can do that now.. i can listen to music n browse facebook or twitter or the internet browser.. i just tried it all three..

Now the swap? what positive effects does it have.. with my apps running i have about 46 apps on my phone n they run pretty good when i use advance task killer i always have about 25 to 35 free space..
[G1 Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Could this be why my phone froze at the G1 screen after flashing the black bar patch? Even with apps2sd off and all apps installed to the internal memory, I still have 30MB free space.
