Thanks to those with & without head adornments, busybox did the trick. Managed to work out the chmod bit on my own! And I'll refrain from comment about calculating numbers to assign permissions.....
[G1 Android Development] konnspiracy:
If I build the rom using repo init -u git://github.com/ezterry/manifest-gingerbread-DS.git -b gingerbread

will it be like a nightly?

Or is it building an untouched version of GB
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
I think the he's goal is to build the BEST Gb for DS ;), if i got it right.
[G1 Android Development] farmatito:
I can confirm after more testing that with 2.6.35.10 even if killing adbd after a usb session the battery drain is still there.
[G1 Android Development] nomadman:
not comparing the roms. but i love the CM's extras that are in update-cm-7.0.0-DS-32B_2708. intsall the latest Launcher Pro, I cant wait for the exras to be added to this build.

CM7 D/S and GB AOSP status

Hi all, (P.S. apologies for not linking properly, I'm not allowed to due to low post count)

I have just built dream_sapphire from cyanogenmod repo, using the device specific stuff from wes here https github.com/wesgarner/android_device_htc_dream_sapphire

Gapps used: http android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip

Kernel used: http sandbox.devnull.name/android/cyanogenmod/ez-exp20110109-cm-2708port_S.zip

Built with "lunch full_dream_sapphire-eng". make bacon.

Superwipe, flashed update zip, flashed gapps, flashed 2708 kernel.

Only mod I had to do was symlink /cache/dalvik-cache to /data, as my /cache was running out of space and causing app crashes.

In this build, gmail works fine (no crashes!), GPS also works with maps. For whatever reason in my build CMparts.apk was missing form /system/app, copying it from another build seems to work. It looks to be a fully functioning build in need of some love from Firerat's patches, autokernel support, and a few things like that.

Firerat: Are you interested in rebasing your patches with Cyanogenmod instead of AOSP?
[G1 Android Development] alex_canada:
Hi guys,

I'm using Giant_Rider's GB ROM and I have GPS and USB drive mount not working on my 32A with 6.35 radio. Can any of you guys create a flashable zip to add the latest GPS library and/or fix the USB mount issues?

Thanks,

Alex
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
why don't you ask Giant_rider?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
The question is because its jsut mine with another kernel .. Of course the problem is its an older kernel not supporting the newer vold.

And the 6.x radio won't work with our current kernel codebase.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
well,

I've no idea what is needed for radio 6.x
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
For the user to downgrade to the 3.22 radio if they want ever component of their phone to work (if rogers customer using 3.22.26.17 or calling rogers for the wavier if they wish to use 3.22.20.17 as its more stable)

Once downgraded the ebi1 port will work perfectly.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
I'll stop looking at the diff I just d/l then :)
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
The diffs all seem a bit sloppy.. actually I think I understand what is needed better from the htc code for android 1.5 ..

And while magic+ users can downgrade (instructions on the sapphire forums) hero-gsm users I think are more interested in a fully working patch set. (as the 6.x radio works on magic 32a w/o audio jack and hero and bricks 32b dreams i can't say I have much experience with it.. besides some debugging via jtag to get it off again when I tried on my jtagged phone)

In theory its just a new AMSS version but that isn't how the patch to the CM kerenl is written. It's transforming the existing AMSS into the new one.. not just adding support for the new version.
[G1 Android Development] djmeistro:
u mad u mad
[G1 Android Development] alex_canada:
Hi ezterry,

Thanks for the explanation :) I know I have the choice to downgrade to EBI1 radio, but after the problems I've been through with Rogers when I did that (I called them 5 times and different levels of tech support put me on that famous waiver list)...I still ended up with my disabled data, I decided to never try the old 3.22 radio.

So yes, I'm looking for a patch to Giant_Rider's ROM to fix GPS and USB_mount. I asked on this thread because I read the whole of it and noticed you guys have had it fixed...and Giant_Rider that I very much appreciate for his work said he's busy lately (not saying you guys are not busy but I saw G1 forum is a bit more active on this topic).

BTW...he recently said he'll try to incorporate your latest changes into a newer version.

Thanks!

Alex

ps: I really thought it's just a matter of an easy push of a different GPS driver or so.
[G1 Android Development] :
Not to mention that Giant_Rider is not capable (at least without putting in tons of hours first :))

.....and that is why I have stated in the 32a forum that I can only support so much and after that the 32a 6.35 users will rely on the more capable devs for the fixes that will port easily.....32a 6.35 users may never get fixes for bugs that are dependent on the kernel or not unless and until Rogers provides us with the 2.2/2.3 sources and drivers.

32a 6.35 should be grateful for the support that guys like ezterry, Firerat, bypass, Sanpei, Feeyo and the CM team have given us (all a@@ kissing aside).
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yeap,

well the diff I was looking at 'added' 6355, or at least seemed to..

but, as I can't actually test it, I'll leave it well alone
[G1 Android Development] :
Wes Gerner tried for a long time with mixed results I think.

Sanpei (who never released his sources) had the best results up until 2.0 after which he stopped supporting 32a 6.35.

carz got most things working except for cam and video recording.

Feeyo got cam and video recording partially working.

Just posted a new build

Remember to check: https://github.com/ezterry/manifest-gingerbread-DS/issues
[G1 Android Development] zakudog:
thank you

thnaks ezterry your new build fixed my root permissions thank you so much
[G1 Android Development] snadge:
Is anyone going to comment about Wes' efforts with CM7? Or my post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10808198&postcount=737

Note: Working Gmail! CMParts..

Its a bit slow on the graphics updating for some reason, the status leds don't appear to be working (eg when charging).

Has there been some love lost with the CM team or something?

Cheers,

[G1 Android Development] PorchSong:
Ezterry,

What kernel are you recommending for the 2708/2825 radio with this rom (the 20110122)? Your latest? or go with pershoot's latest?

And thank you for everyone's work with this rom.
[G1 Android Development] :
Wow! It's very nice now, especially 3d. thanks for updating it ezTerry!
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
something wrong with the one in the rom?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
The one in the rom works better for sure.
[G1 Android Development] PorchSong:
Have not flashed it yet--just getting all files in place. Did not know the default was good for 2708 -- when I was flashing earlier alpha's I thought we had to use a 2708 kernel over the top. Thanks for the clarification.

Keep up the great work guys. . .
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Try a thread about CM7.. They exist in the Development section, and CM Forums..

This thread is about the development of my gingerbread rom not CM7.

Now its great to note quickly what works.. but the question isn't if gmail works in CM7.. its how to make it work in my build.. and (in the scope of this thread) the only reason I care about it working in CM7 is it gives me something to compare with.

And had I found it, it be working now rather than replacing my previous high priority issue.
[G1 Android Development] leifern:
might not be of any help but the google books app is crashing when trying to open a book, both stored locally and online in the same way gmail is. Thought it might help to figure out why this is happening in gmail, if they are doing the same thing.
[G1 Android Development] HyeProfile:
Firerat, are you building a Magpie version of Ezterry's latest, or should I lunch my bacon overnight?
[G1 Android Development] almostthere:
Hi guys, just wanna thank you guys as I do appreciate the effort you all have contributed.

Quick question for anyone who knows. I'm using papago x5 sgmy edition. Previously worked on cm6.1 stable but on this rom set facing fc issues. Any workaround to it? Other apps work fine (except fb sync contacts but it's not a deal breaker).

Help greatly appreciated

ADS_magpie-20110123

For those of you who do not want to build it from the sources: ADS_magpie-20110123 offers you the latest Gingerbread version from ezterry merged with magpie from Firerat, plus working

- superuser

- compcache (will not be started automatically, you have to start it manually)

- e2fsck

HomeApp will be kept in memory, jit by default is switched off. Have fun!
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
FR-110123-Magpie_GingerB-DS_S.zip

Includes EzTerry's most recent commits

I've

removed the none latin keyboards

added bash ( required for random bootanimations *, and I like bash's colours ;) )

added 06BindCache script ( at least for now ).. will only do something if your cache size is less than 27mb

+ odexed system, ezterry mentioned he was thinking of going down that root, so I figured would give it a whirl, it seems to be working well.

backuptool has had bin/su removed as no longer required ( the one in xbin works )

nope, gmail is not fixed

nope, no pulldown power widget

* found in https://github.com/Firerat/All_In_OnePatch

I'll be breaking the script up into individual components at some point, for now the github is one flat script
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
hrmm... That really ought to be in bin not xbin.. not an issue until we squash xbin but at that point I want superuser to be upgraded w/o finding the readonly squashfs filesystem.

Also @all for those using non-latin languages: How are the fonts holding up?

If you have been pushing fonts, just delete the fonts.sqf and push the ones you usually use (at a space penalty).. but let me know what if anything is missing for future builds.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
data/local/bin and system/bin are before system/xbin in PATH so either will have priority

a unified fs would also get round that.

and a bsdiff patch could be used to patch xbin.sqf in recovery
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
ChainsDD pushes and installs updates to the su binary via Superuser.apk.. I've not looked at the logic on Chains side.. but seems to overwrite any /system/bin/su.. thus priority makes it work if its on xbin but it remains on the system..

Not worth too much worry for 26k uncompressed

But patching xbin.sqf is not something I expect Superuser.apk to succeed at.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
yeap, it updates fine

and if a copy is in xbin, I have a planb
[G1 Android Development] billquinn1:
Gmail is not crashing for me with this build with these Gapps

I did not do anything different. it just worked this time.
[G1 Android Development] samaral:
Using the latest gapps from goo-inside and downloading gmail from market. Seems to be behaving as it should.
[G1 Android Development] salsichad2:
Thanks, Gmail is working for me too.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Still *not* working here... Lets (again) make sure we understand the bug (as seen by the end user):

* Open gmail

* tap on an email to view

* stay in the email .. say until your screen goes to sleep.. if you are still viewing the email when you unlock the phone all is well and the rest of us want details of exactly what is being run.

If the screen closes and returns you to the mail list its not working.
[G1 Android Development] invisiblewave:
I tried the CM build yesterday. It feels like swimming in molasses compared with the ezterry build. I switched back again. This is the most responsive rom I've ever had running on my phone by some margin, even compared with the TMO 2.2 OTA.
[G1 Android Development] invisiblewave:
I have another GMail bug, hitting reply on an email fails and returns me to the inbox list.
[G1 Android Development] invisiblewave:
Swap script for anyone wanting to run swap

This is a modified version of Stevo's swapscript. It's identical except that it runs the busybox version of the mount command. It adds the swapscriptv2 and bootswapv2 commands, flash the zip & run the commands from terminal. Works on my MT3G, but do a backup first, it's my first signed zip!
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
Meh, my swappy script is better

but I guess I'm biased
[G1 Android Development] epikx:
Just want to say my gmail is also working. Email stays open, i can reply, forward, compose without FC or return to inbox. Everything seems to be working fine.

Superwiped

Flashed latest magpie

Flashed gapps billquinn1 posted

Downloaded gmail from market

I have not done anything else, so who knows what will happen as i actually start using the phone and installing other apps.
[G1 Android Development] invisiblewave:
Yeah, but mine has a much more pleasant demeanour!:D

TBH, I did it just to make a start with bash scripting & signing zips. One of these days I'll get round to building a rom and writing an app. I've even had a green light to develop an Android order enquiry app for work, but it'll be useless until there's a Cisco vpn client for Android!
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Hmm ... it seems to work really(!) :confused:

I didn't expect this, beause since I was using Gingerbread I was not using Gmail any more. After reading the post of billquinn1 I installed Gmail on my phone and did exactly the test you described.

It's really *not* crashing! :D

I let it turn off three times (3 x 1 min) and it's viewing still the email I opened before.

I've installed ADS_magpie_20110123-signed.zip (your latest sources merged with Firerat's magpie) plus (a part of) gapps-mdpi-20101020-gb-signed.zip.
[G1 Android Development] bypass23:
I give the spare time I have on it...

I just want to push the device to it's limit... ppl said it was done with android 1.6 lol

I SIMPLY DON'T AGREE

period we will have 2.3.1 on dream/sapphire working... maybe not 100% for nfc/fm chip etc which we don't have but as for the rest I truly believe :D
[G1 Android Development] bypass23:
CM 6.1 does have it push it with adb maybe ?

I'll send the one that is working if u want :)
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
the init.d should be easy, just need busybox for run-parts

I'm currently tiding up Magpie,

Then I can include that here ( already had a brief look and it should fit in quite easily )

but I don't want to do that until I have it clean, has some hacky stuff in it at the moment.
[G1 Android Development] jeffakajeff:
Anyone tried this on a mytouch 1.2? I cannot get it to boot up, no matter which kernel I am using. I tried Pershoot's latest kernel, a,b, and b with new radio, not a one will boot, I can't even get far enough to get a logcat. What am i doing wrong? I can boot it up great on my dream ;)
[G1 Android Development] bypass23:
I think the last build ezterry posted has all the newest git commits and if I remember right symlinks to busybox are in the update script...

Anyway I always compile from git with a few tweaks, hence the market, live wallpapers, latest busybox, su & etc...

Happy Holidays :o
[G1 Android Development] bypass23:
I'll be honest I don't have a mytouch, I have an ADP1 eh

I'd like to help out but I'd need a little more info :)

is mytouch 1.2 = htc mytouch tmobile fender ?

If you have no logcat it's a clear indication that the kernel doesn't work/boot :(

Everything android and adb service are launched after the kernel is loaded properly so no adb logcat if it doesn't...
[G1 Android Development] jeffakajeff:
Yeah its a fender pretty much. Not sure why its not loading the kernel, I tried a know working kernel (it boots cm6 anyways) and still nothing.
[G1 Android Development] bypass23:
Ezterry has a mt3g dunno which version tho...

Have you tried to use Oshara/Ezterry Super Wipe ? (I strongly suggest to best wipe ever)

And just flash his last build after he posted (all git commits are in it anyway)

Your radio version in signature could be updated to my version, it's the only difference I can see atm beside the device itself but I'm not aware if fender need a custom kernel to work.

To be honest I don't think you would need another kernel... I've tested many 2708 kernels and for the ones I tried they all work ! Also last build from ezterry use a newer kernel from him mainly based on cm6.1 I think.

I'm using pershoot's 2708 latest atm testing around :rolleyes:

Your fix for the browser works.

What do you have you spare parts set to. Just have them on the default settings. Does help a lot. Also adw launcher would get rid of ginger beard one that is green? Setcpu up to 614/245 works awesome. Haven't had any random restarts. Battery life good. Other then that good job terry!!
[G1 Android Development] mikesheadroom:
I'm still pretty noobish when it comes to building from source. I started from a fresh install of Linux Mint 10 64-bit and made it through the guide from the CyanogenMod wiki and am now confused as to how to proceed with these steps.

* You will want to extract the propitiatory files form one of the nightlies below (Or my MT3G-test3 t-mobile OTA as installed on a HTC Dream) using the extract script in devices/htc/sapphire

* use the sapphire target in lunch (the build will target both the 32b dream/sapphire for the new 2708+ radio; to use it on a 32A Magic or MT3G1.2 please install a EBI0/EBI1 kernel as needed.)

* to build 'make otapackage -j<num of CPUs +1>' so if you have a single quad core CPU run 'make otapackage -j5' to ensure you use as much CPU as possible.
​

If anybody is bored and wouldn't mind posting some step-by-steps, it would be much appreciated. If not, I look forward to the next "nightly". Thanks in advance for the help and thanks again to ezterry for fixing my phone a few months back!

:D
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
windows animation and transition animations set to fast in spare parts

adw settings for zoom effects and overscrolling helped too

[G1 Android Development] irisiris:
Just intalled Alpha 22 dec on my HTC Magic 32b with new radio and spl+14mb extra ram

i used superwipe without flashing pershoot kernel which was an optional step.

whats working

Phone calls

SMS

Google apps except Gmail.when try to open email message it goes into loop restarting GMail like it was freshly installed with whats new pop up showing everytime.GB port to HTC hero also has this loop with gmail

Market

Camera still pics

Skype

wifi

Browser- crashed first time then disabled location setting in browser to fix it.

usb mounting to pc and file copy to SD card works

Bluetooth

whats not working yet

GPS

youtube videos - browsing site works

mp4 videos previously downloaded from youtube.(videos decoding probably broken)

rotation to landscape mode does not work auto... But it is fixable as youtube changes to landscape mode when phone is turned to landscape mode.

i seem to be getting variable GSM signals with this ROM..i dunt it is relevant to ROM..but if it is please comment if ROM affect signals?

Overall impression:

Needs some speed tweaking even though i have animations set to fast

very encouraging build. First boot shows 30MB RAM free.

if you can live without video and camcorder currently. i find it usable so far.

will keep it to see if RAM and Battery are stable. Will try 3G net as well today.

Update:

3G works.. the white icon turn green when 3G data is connected and two small animated arrows appear on top of green colored 3G.

Keep the good work going. :)

PS.. where can i see the LOG of error and copy it to pc..any adb command?
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
flash pershoots kernel green tint no more
[G1 Android Development] mercenaryhmster:
i think he meant that the icons for phone and browser wouldn't be green, they would be the stock adw color.
[G1 Android Development] irisiris:
Logcat attached

hi

here is the logcat based on 22nd dec release.

I tried to run gmail and it went into loop of reloading gmail.
[G1 Android Development] peshal:
Every time i flash the gingerbread binary, it goes to the touch android to begin screen and then when i skip all the steps as i dont have 3g the launcher force closes and gives the black screen. is there anybody else with the same problem or the solution to the problem.

I am using the 2708 radio + spl with 14 mb extra ram

and i definately do wipe all the 5 things every time i flash a different binary.
[G1 Android Development] CBATESY:
did you use superwipe to wipe the phone??? if you didnt i would try that and do it again. you need to exactly this: superwipe, flash rom, flash pershoots, boot all the way to home screen. reboot to recovery and flash bypass gapps.
[G1 Android Development] minidou:
I have installed the original build by Ezterry and my GMail still doesn't work. Maybe it is something in the Magpie version that makes it works ?

edit: I have installed the gapps-mdpi-20101020-gb-signed.zip
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Telling the truth, I've included xbin.sqf from Firerat's magpie into ADS_magpie_20110123, but I cannot imagine that this has an influence on Gmail.
[G1 Android Development] wrsg:
just tried gb on a g1 for the first time using your rom (ADS), good experience so far, everythings going well, no serious bugs. gmail is working fine.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
well if it is Magpie, then someone needs to tell my Magpie about it

because mine isn't working :)

it is more likely the gapps .
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
AndDiSa turned JIT off, that may have .. I'm not sure "fixed" the problem .. but caused the edge case not to happen (thus from a usability point of view fixed it)

Locally I'm testing the other Javascript engine (v8) and it is crashing like gmail on every webkit call .. also CM7 has a more optimizes JIT compile for our processor.. in theory anyway.
[G1 Android Development] almostthere:
Latest build and Magpie with claimed "working" gapps causes same problem within 10 seconds of mail loading
[G1 Android Development] :
FWIW I ported ADS_magpie_20110123 to the 32a 6.35 radio and flashed the same gapps (dated 20110115) I have been using with previous versions of ezterry's build and my gmail app worked fine. I could look at emails, reply, forward, etc. and the app did not close and start again. So whatever has changed it's not in the kernel (I have been using the same kernel since you guys started working on 2.3).

Unfortunately, something changed in the recent ezterry build and/or in Firerat's work that now conflicts with wifi on the 32a 6.35. With this build I am unable to connect to a network unless I enter a static IP. Something buggy with DHCP. I found the following work around (in the first post) but I have not bothered sharing the ported rom. I don't think it's a permissions thing.
