[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
Well, there are two options here, either I have an gapps release, which is what I've been working on, or I do a full release and have the libs and stuff.

The latter will have possible change in linpack, the former is already almost done. Now, the kernel isn't going to change. Don't expect that, it's not built for our devices.

What do you all think? All the user interface improvements will come from the gapps (and possibly framework) releases, all performance will come from a nearly-rom/full rom release.

Edit: Some of these apps are really neat but are already availiable in the market. The apps that aren't, well, half of them crash (gmail, mediaprovider, skype). I'm not seeing too much value from this at the moment...
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
From a bias standpoint, since I can't flash till tomorrow anyways, I'm going to say full ROM.

You can be the first to release a G2 ROM for the Nexus!

Its totally up to you though. Its your hard work and time put in to this, I'm just on the other side of the computer eating a slice of pizza and drinking a cold water right now lol.

EDIT

Since your almost done, you could always release the new gapps tonight and work on the ROM afterwords since the gapps won't require any kind of re-releases for a while more then likely..
[Nexus One Android Development] KnightMAREcrow:
Which ever you feel you can do without going to far out of your way. There is always tomorrow to release a more robust .zip

Many thanks either route you choose
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
I'll do a hybrid rom. Everything that's broken, I'll source from the latest CM nightly. Else, it's coming from the rom dump. I think it's the easiest way.

Edit: It's built but not tested. Give me a bit, but there's a strong chance of a release tonight.

Edit: Oi... I'll just have a framework/Launcher/gapps release. It breaks very badly if you try a hybrid rom. Very badly indeed.

Edit: It appears framework was the reason it wouldn't go. I'll weave it together as best I can
[Nexus One Android Development] KnightMAREcrow:
Goodluck, thanks for the updates on progress though :)
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
I have to remove the browser real quick (FC on website load) and I'll upload the zip in this post.

Edit: And google earth, and the phone, and all sorts of crap. :P

Edit2: Here's what I've found so far:

Voice search looks way nicer.

Browser broken.

Calendar has a big transparent + near the top for no apparent reason.

Phone is broken.

Contacts is broken. (Both of these can be fixed by adding libraries by the looks of it. That's a tomorrow job.)

It comes with a screen calibration app, not sure if this is new.

Gmail broked.

Has a quickkeys app that breaks. Does this require hardware?

I'm sure they all can be used as is if I can get the libs to work.
[Nexus One Android Development] KnightMAREcrow:
Sounds like problems are becoming an systemic :(
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
"No you can't just copy and paste libs from one phone to the other" Well, the more you know. I tried that and logcat didn't have more than 10 lines in it as absolutely nothing loaded. I think even the kernel just said "Nope, not going to do it today. Don't get paid enough to take care of a mess this big."

Well, at least some apps are nice and new.The ones I was most interested in are borked and thus not in here, but hey, it's worth a shot if anyone wants to try it:

P.S. USE NANDROID. I haven't tested this but it has a good chance of breaking your favorite feature. Keep that in mind.

<Link cut out, PM me if you really need this older version>

Enjoy, punch me in the face, eat tacos, whatever.

Anyways, I think the next time Google releases the source for the G2, the current gapps will run flawlessly, even if they'd already been outdated.

Last bits of notes, voice search is way nicer, tts is way nicer, but I can't get it to work. A few apps have new widgets. This is about all that's apparent. Now, Launcher2 is now not laggy with live wallpapers. Could be the new GPU drivers in some roms or it could be cause Launcher2 got a big update. No idea, but it's already rivaling Launcher Pro in responsiveness.

Edit: If you downloaded the first copy (all 1 of you, Mr. Lightningfingers), the market was broken and now it's fixed.
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
haha, your work is awesome and appreciated man.

I'm downloading now. I'll nandroid and flash it afterwards and see what happens lol.

EDIT

Instant crash on the bootup X (just freezes, won't load any further. Computer beeps like it recognizes the phone is turning on and connecting to the USB but it won't go past the X) after installing the file. Doesn't appear to work...

Nandroid restoring now.
[Nexus One Android Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Which apps have new widgets?
[Nexus One Android Development] teihoata:
The new launcher is definitely a lot smoother with live wallpapers, even more so than launcher pro, also has 7 screens instead of 5. Using RC3
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
You got it to run?

Did the first boot (at the X) take a long time?
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
The first boot takes around 15 seconds longer than usual. Whenever I installed it, I just watched it with logcat to better anticipate any future errors, but it iterated one by one over each app and then enabled them, taking around 1-3 seconds apiece.

I did get it to consistently boot off of a freshly wiped and installed CM nightly from today.
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Your right, I was just being impatient lol. Booted up now. Launcher and everything seems really smooth. I might keep it for now instead of launcherpro.
[Nexus One Android Development] jm1999:
Very awseome thank you for this. Only problem Ive run into is my home buttoon doesn't work. Y'all have the same problem? Can't get go back to home screen!
[Nexus One Android Development] ermacwins:
someone up a vid maybe?

also what radio does it have?
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
Home button is working for me, though it could be a funny interaction between this and a previously installed or stock launcher. What do you have for your setup?
[Nexus One Android Development] jm1999:
Latest nightly actually 25. What are you using?
[Nexus One Android Development] jm1999:
Wow ok. So when I first flashed I was running stock launcher even though I was running nightly. The launcher is nice! My home button isn't working so I rebooted and now it went back to adw. How can I get back to stock launcher? Any rom I should run?

Ok so flashed rc3 and home button still doesn't work. I guess I'm the only on with this problem. I love the launcher. I'm scared to reboot because it will revert to adw.
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Stock launcher and home button are working find here.

Best feature of all.......HTC Calibration! I just did a calibration and used it for about 20 minutes and my touch interaction is insanely better and more accurate.

That alone is amazing. Thanks so much Storm.
[Nexus One Android Development] jm1999:
What rom are you running?
[Nexus One Android Development] imfloflo:
Can i flash the apk like this or should i include some lib's too ?
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Latest nightly with WMs 8/19 kernel

I flashed just as is and mine works.
[Nexus One Android Development] jm1999:
Wow. I don't know what the hell I did. I just flash cm nightly then g2apps right over it with a full wipe. Is that correct? I need my home button! I tried rc3 as well.
[Nexus One Android Development] mezmer1ze:
I calibrated my display as well but I don't feel any difference at all :D

Maybe it's just some false placebo effect?
[Nexus One Android Development] Stea1thmode:
Is that not a standard Sense feature?
[Nexus One Android Development] jm1999:
Yes it is sir
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
I've never used a Sense ROM, I don't like them.

It may possibly be a placebo thing, lol, but it really seems like its making a difference. I'm not hitting nearly the wrong keys when typing and clicking links, especially small ones, I'm not hitting the wrong ones like I was before.

Seems to make a pretty noticeable difference to me.
[Nexus One Android Development] jm1999:
I'm a fan of sense but I constantly switch. The sense launcher is alot smoother to me and for some reason this reminds me of it..
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Which in a sense (no pun intended) I get the best of both worlds! lol
[Nexus One Android Development] imfloflo:
Can one of you make a small video ? to show us this new speed improvemnt
[Nexus One Android Development] InGeNeTiCs:
I'm really confused. What is all this talk about the sense launcher? I thought this was supposed to be a stock android rom?

Can someone take a few screenshots of the launcher in action?
[Nexus One Android Development] miketaylor00:
I might work on porting this. I haven't released a ROM in a long time and I've been thinking about getting back into it. For those who have looked at it, is this worth porting?
[Nexus One Android Development] thesk8mafia:
im getting errors in my update script

anyone feel like uploading theirs for me? :] it would be very much appreciated :]
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Excited to see what's next from you man.

I'm pretty excited to try it out.
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
Alright. Here is my research so far:

Gmail crashes because it fails to downgrade the DB from v47 to v46. So gmail in this is older? That's unusual.

HTC bugreport crashes, due to some socket error. Not like our bug reports will be helpful. I'll scrape it from the next release.

I added the closed-source libs that gapps usually has, and now phone doesn't crash. It appears nothing is new. :(

I'm installing the complete apps set, so I'll try out fixing Swype, MediaProvider, and stuff like that here soon.

Edit:

Swype crashes cause it has a dedicated library. Adding it to next test run.

Phone crashes this time around due to missing some unknown feature. I just can't locate its problem yet.

TTS still broken even though i added some libs. Identified that there is a /data/data/ lib that's missing. This wasn't in the dump, so that feature is shot. If anyone can find a /data/data/com.google.tts/lib/libttsespeak.so, let me know, we need to wedge it in.

Found missing browser lib, haven't tested, still major graphical corruption.

Edit:

Located android source code for libtsespeak.so. Adding if I can.

Test two shows that the browser probably won't be updated. It needs a lib that breaks everything. EVERYTHING. Let's see if I can weave.
[Nexus One Android Development] santiemanuel:
How can I use just Launcher2? Currently using FRG22 (Droid's port for Milestone). Of course if it is possible xD.
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
http://www.mediafire.com/?t5s598bkh2ek3ws

Download that, nandroid backup, and then adb push Launcher2.apk /system/app/Launcher2.apk

I haven't tested it, but it seems to rely the least on everything else so it has a 80% chance of working.

Edit: I've never had a recovery crash on me, but I just did. :eek: Nuked most of my system.
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Yikes!

That's my worst fear lol.
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
Aye, it's turning into a disaster. My backups won't install anymore, so I'm going to have to clean my roms and wipe. libwebcore.so, Curse you! CURSE YOU! Alright, anger gone.

Status:

Apps that don't work yet:

Phone, FC at boot, unclear reasons

Browser, FC on page load, graphical corruption, known reasons, needs a library that can't work for some reason.

Gmail, FC because it can't downgrade the database. I can clear it out, but I'm not sure if it's worth it.

I should have Swype working and TTL (though that's a market app too), nothing else appears to crash.

Changes of note:

All sorts of preinstalled apps from the market.

Updated voice search.

Faster Launcher2 and live wallpapers.

Anyone want me to test anything? Any ideas?
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
I'm trying to think, but nothing jumps out at me. I don't run a ton of apps, I generally just remove through RootExplorer a lot of the stock stuff.

I know stuff like Quick Key could probably be removed, considering you said it doesn't work. Not sure how many people use Google Sky Map...?

I really have no questions though, if anybody else wants to chime in.
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
Alright, now I'm done. No, I couldn't fix gmail, phone, or stuff like that, the errors are too entrenched. I decided to gut Swype and QuickOffice once I found out that that is restricted and a $10 app on the market respectively. TTL got ditched once I found out some breaks with that, but it's available on market.

So yeah, everything works for the most part and I'll upload it once I get some serious testing in.

Does anyone know where android stores the APN list? After all this flashing, my APN list is empty and I've lost internet. Using /system/etc/apns-conf.xml doesn't help.
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Just on a side note, QuickOffice is working just fine for me. Doesn't appear to be a trial, I don't think at least.

I just moved my expense budget report thing I did for this year over to the SD card and pulled it up on the phone just fine.
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
That's the problem and why I'm removing it. It's an OEM full copy. It's just like Swype but they offer it in the market for a price.
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Ohhhhh, I see now. I misunderstood you.
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
New version. I hadn't exactly tested this one, as my phone is acting really badly, but there is no reason it shouldn't work. Basically, everything in there works, everything that's not doesn't.

As always, if it breaks and you didn't Nandroid backup, it's mostly your fault.

<URL removed, new version posted>
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
I'm about to flash it now, with the new nightly.

I'll let you know how everything looks.
[Nexus One Android Development] jm1999:
Thanks storm flashing now. And yes I'm at work hiding in the restroom flashing this. I think I haave a problem.

My home and search button still doesn't work. Fml.
[Nexus One Android Development] Stuart.upton666:
Okay so im about to flash now, any problems i should watch out for? I know im a newbie but im trying ok? lol Will update on how it works on RoDz CMrc3

+getting error when i paste to my sdcard...Help?
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
When pasting ot SDCard? Like, moving the Working-G2-Gapps.zip file?
[Nexus One Android Development] tdavis42:
I noticed that someone said there was a new google voice.apk with a widget, could someone post a picture of it? Thank you.
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Gmail crashes when trying to open (process.com.google.android.gm)
[Nexus One Android Development] Stuart.upton666:
Yes it wont let me move it to my sd card...am i missing something? :confused:

edit2: this is what it is telling me every time i try [/url][/IMG]
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Try re-downloading it. Could be a bad download.

I've never personally seen that error before..
[Nexus One Android Development] Robot Teapot:
Don't want to be a downer here, but CRC errors like the one your having usually are a result of failing media, not the file itself (at least in my experience)... You could have a failing SD card. Something to do with the computer trying to write data, then when it checks to make sure it wrote correctly, it didn't. If you havent already got it sorted, try backing up the data on your card and do a full format on it. Write zeros if you've got the time, just to make sure the card is ok. Hopefully it's all good.
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
Oh man, I was sure I stomped out the Gmail errors. I'd deliberately tried to fix it. Well, back to the drawing board.
[Nexus One Android Development] miketaylor00:
Storm, what are you using for a boot.img? I think the ramdisk is probably the key to fixing some of your issues that you are seeing.
[Nexus One Android Development] Stuart.upton666:
awesome thanks man, got it to work :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Stuart.upton666:
I think it was just a bad download, i downloaded it again and got it right 1st time round, although my sd card is getting loaded full of s**t, Time for a new one :p

Edit: loop boot? help?
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
No, it is not using a custom kernel. I have no idea how to make one that isn't stock. I know how to modify the .config but not anything else.

For those of you who still are having errors and need a quick remedy, try installing CM gapps before you try a nandroid restore. Those take forever on my phone. Anyone have a logcat from the Gmail error? Is it a database error (and is fixed by removing gmail from the zip, which I was pretty sure to do) or is it an other error?
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Is it stuck on the initial X? Like, vibrates when you press power then sits on the X?

If so, just wait. It took forever for me. At first, I kept pulling my battery because I thought it wasn't working but when I stopped being impatient, it worked.
[Nexus One Android Development] Stuart.upton666:
No its stuck on the boot animation :confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Oh. I've never once since I've owned my N1 had a boot loop so I never knew exactly what it was.

Did you wipe both cache first before flashing the new Gapps?
[Nexus One Android Development] probers1:
I just flashed this on enomthers rom and everything seemed too work. The only pet I really wanted was the google voice widget. I restored from nandroid and just extracted that app sand it seemed to install fine on its own. If I get around to more playing I will try flashing the whole package again and report back.

Enomthers 2.11.3

Edit: loaded htc calibrate also to see if that makes a difference. Installed fine and runs, but does it help?
[Nexus One Android Development] Stuart.upton666:
yeah got it working, just did a nand restore and then downloaded the latest nightly off rom manager, flashed that WITHOUT gapps and then flashed G2 gapps, boot animation took a little longer but the "X" sign was quicker than before lol, OH AND MY HOME BUTTON DOESNT WORK!!! your not alone my friend :(

edit: search button doesn't work either
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
HTC Calibrate, to me personally, seemed to make a pretty noticeable difference after using it for quite a few hours now. Seemed to help a lot when typing and clicking small links.
[Nexus One Android Development] jm1999:
Thank god im not the only one with this problem I had to nan restore just to make sure my nexy wasnt sick. Home and search doesnt work for me either. it sucks too when im in the browser the only way i can get back to the home screen is back out of every single site till i get home. haha.

Any fix for this? Thank you storm and devs for your work.
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
I'm not sure why your getting that. Mine both work perfectly fine (on CM nightly with WM kernel).
[Nexus One Android Development] skorpioneMM:
I have the same problem, home button doesnt work for me.
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
Gapps normally includes framework.jar and stuff like that. I gutted it because I didn't think it would make sense to have it, but people are treating this like cm gapps and so those files disappear. I have an idea, but I may not get to it today.
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
I just tested again to make sure. Mine worked. I'm going to launcher2 (the one in the Gapps) not ADW or LauncherPro....in case that helps.
[Nexus One Android Development] Stuart.upton666:
take your time man, you need rest, you aren't superman lol. You can only do so much
[Nexus One Android Development] miketaylor00:
Storm, I don't have to work tomorrow. I might try to help you out on this, I've been thinking about porting a ROM to the Nexus. I can probably help you with modifying the boot.img. Hit me up on Gtalk tomorrow. My username at gmail dot com
[Nexus One Android Development] jm1999:
I really like the launcher. I dont like adw and i love the 3d app drawer. How do i install launcher2? I have no idea how to use adb.

I have to flash g2apps over cm right?
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
Wouldn't recommend it. A few pages back I posted just Launcher2. No one's tested it to see if it works alone, but you'd be better off trying it than the (very buggy) G2 apps. It has instructions.

miketaylor00, I'll take you up on the offer, but you have to realize that, in comparison to my first upload of this (which happens to be less buggy, how'd that happen?) there is only hope on adding a few apps more here, which are mostly related to a Contacts.apk bug by the looks of things. Sure, people might like a refined framework, but there may not be any performance bumps there. I'll have more information once I get out of classes and back to my home-town tomorrow, 5 PM MST, though.
[Nexus One Android Development] jm1999:
Thanks storm.

When i get some extra money, Ill gladly buy you a drink...
[Nexus One Android Development] dextroz:
If it's not too much to ask - can someone please post pictures and videos here for the rest of us?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
The only bug I'm having with the G2Gapps is Gmail. Everything else is fine.

I'm still running your G2Gapps over my nightly and loving it personally.
[Nexus One Android Development] santiemanuel:
Launcher2 works perfectly standalone. Froyo FRG22 (A port), super smooth.
[Nexus One Android Development] jm1999:
wow the second g2apps screws up my apns and adw still comes up for me. I had to wipe reflash nightly flash hdpi gapps then flash g2apps over it. Launcher2 came up no mobile network though. Still no home or search button!

Would love to have launcher2 standalone but im afraid of screwing up my phone.
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
Well, here's bug finding priority #1. The APNs should never have been touched, so some library or app is throwing up upon contact with our apn list. I had this same problem but I couldn't explain where it came from.

Bug #2 is for gmail, but anyone have a logcat for it? If it says what I hope it says, I can have a fix up in 10 minutes.
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
I haven't had an APN issue and I'm not even flashing the hdpiGapps, only this one....

How do you generate logcat?
[Nexus One Android Development] storm99999:
adb shell, at #, run logcat, then run the app that crashes. It'll spit out the dump.

You also can do it from inside the phone, but it's easier to copy paste from a PC terminal anyways.
[Nexus One Android Development] imfloflo:
On your pc type in a terminal adb logcat
[Nexus One Android Development] jm1999:
I loaded my apns np. But im actually having no problems with gmail. Is it just fcing? Mine runs fine. Do i need to run one anyway?
[Nexus One Android Development] akaine2001:
11 pages and no screenshot wtf ... :mad:
[Nexus One Android Development] jm1999:
It doesnt look any different, stock launcher its just comes with every google app they make basically the only thing different basically is the two google voice widgets, and htc calibrate..
[Nexus One Android Development] uansari1:
Are the updated apks for Voice and Calibrate posted anywhere? Wondering if they'll work on an unrooted N1.
[Nexus One Android Development] KnightMAREcrow:
