Is there a way to at least flash or push a language for the stock keyboard to use?Because Language pack 1 has greek in it but it wont appear in the keyboard settings.

And don't suggest to download another keyboard, since the stock one is the best for me.

Thank you.

Zeam 3.1.7 renders my G1 unusable

Same here. I support the idea of a minimalistic launcher, but Zeam just made my G1 unusable, so I uninstalled it.

Really great work on the recent ezGingerbread ROMs! (I am using the ADS derivative.)

Help needed!

I tried to change the heap size to 12m in cyanogen settings, but (i think) this bricked my phone, in a endless reboot.

Is there someone taht knows where is stored that value, so i can change it in recovery ?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Removing/editing /data/property/persist.sys.vm.heapsize should help, if it is really depending on the heapsize ...
[G1 Android Development] Jamaisx:
Yes, it was, so don't set heap size les than 16 Mbyte !!!!! Thanks

My wifi have one problem. It cannot connect at once, and sometime disconnected.

Even I have set the wifi never sleep.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Why yes, that was an update to stable v1.0 you saw in the OP

(adding to Rom Manager next, then my twitter/gplus announcements)

Note I just moved building instructions to github here:

https://github.com/ezterry/manifest-gingerbread-DS/blob/gingerbread/README.mkdn

(link at bottom of the OP)

Edit:

Ok all is up and running, unless there is a big issue this is likely the last release of the year,

As I will be busy packing, moving (cross boarder as I'm returning to the US), holidays, transferring knowledge at work and a bunch of other things.

Into next year, since I will be in the states as I mentioned, and thus will be changing my mobile carrier I will certainly upgrade my phone, so while I intend to maintain ezGingerbread (Thus expect future release(s)), one reason for v1.0 is this is the last major update to be expected where I'm developing it to be my own day to day phone.

(Anyway I lost my JTAG test phone last week, display port corrosion caused the display/touch screen to stop working.. so only 3 working dream/sapphire devices here.. one whos owner never got back to me after I repaired [de-bricked] it)
[G1 Android Development] flyers00:
Thanks ezterry for your hardwork. Flashed and installed the stable version and everything seems to be running fine. Good luck with everything and look forward to future updates
[G1 Android Development] chakar.dee:

Having problems with signal loss on gprs patch s.. removed gprs patch.. has any one experienced this?

Sent from HTC Magic using XDA App
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
The original G1 settings are either those without the GPRS patch or those when you answer no..

The settings when you answer yes provide faster mobile network connectivity where the carrier can support it..

Here in Toronto the network is much slower and the battery drains faster when I don't apply the improved GPRS settings, but the reason for it being an optional patch is others experience problems with the new settings.

Most users benifit or are not harmed by the GPRS patch thus all ought to attempt it.. if others like you have connectivity issues just re-install the patch answering no to remove it.. If there is still a problem either you need to look up the ro.ril settings that do work for you or check your phone/provider.
[G1 Android Development] Dreamtheater2003:
Yeah, thats what ive done.. i really like to apply this patch as it might improve my connection speed.. :( too bad im having signal loss issue. Everything is ok with the usual setting..

[G1 Android Development] tagm:
I just installed the new version. Thanks for at least a year of hard work and support. I am very glad you are planning to maintain it longer. The latest versions of the rom were pretty stable already, but it is nice to have a rom with the a name that proves it ;)
[G1 Android Development] ryo2456:
Um..there a problem for me. when I want to type Chinese. the phone is lag and always got force close.
[G1 Android Development] ZhuraYuk:
Do not react on android touching on first start. What to do?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
I don't know about the phone but the problems in your post are:

* No verification that you have run fix permissions and the new stable build is in question.

* No indication of what app force quit

* No indication of what input method you are using as it sounds like a third party one

* No stack trace from the logcat.. a force quit means the application crashed this always has a stack trace telling where and how the code crashed.

If you waited for the screen to dim and before interacting with the phone, and its not responding to the touch screen:

Take phone apart and make sure the screen is not loose, or replace touch screen. (Feel free to try another rom first to be sure its a hardware problem)

Unfortunately these phones are aging and this decaying .. other topics are probably best for fixup attempts.
[G1 Android Development] Dreamtheater2003:
Hi ezterry, how do we check if gprs patch has been installed? i've tried it again and no drop connection.

Sent from HTC Magic using XDA App
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
If you re-ran it it is applied.. It just edits some ro.ril settings in /system/build.prop
[G1 Android Development] ryo2456:
I'm using the stable version.

Ya, not the default one. The input method that I'm using call Cedime.

The situation for me is, when I type the first key (on facebook or whatsapp), the phone is not responsible for a bit of time. At last, it got force close.
[G1 Android Development] ZhuraYuk:
Yes I waited. Touch is working, I can change language or make call. I bought new phone yesterday from T-mobile leftovers. Flashed new ROM and everithing works fine.
[G1 Android Development] DorianX:
Come to mind two things:

1.- Maybe gapps are corrupted... try redownload GAPPS file and reflash

2.- Do you use CustomMTD? if you do maybe system partition it's too small, increases system partition and reflash
[G1 Android Development] ehb224:
Thanks for this rom! I have tried previous builds in the past and it was definitely a work in progress so I have been running mostly the 'kanged CM7' from DW9906 for it's speed as a daily driver.

I flashed the gamma build for this rom and was impressed but was not ready for how smooth and fast the stable build has turned out to be. My MT3G has NEVER run this fast and smooth, even with cupcake or donut roms! Talk about breathing new life into old hardware!

The only thing I found that I needed to do was increase compcache until I found the 'sweet spot' where processes I needed did not shut down when I multitask but not so high that the phone got sluggish!

THANK YOU FOR THIS ROM!
[G1 Android Development] rickyiswhite:
What do you set the compache to? And all the other performance settings that you have this rom running so fast

I have tmobile u.s. will the patch even be of any use to me?

Is there an optional package to get the battery percentage view?
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
ADS_Magpie has such a view, but up to now it's not merged with the latest changes from Terry. Most likely at the weekend I will get it done.
[G1 Android Development] ZaneChua:
I enabled Lockscreen sounds in the Sounds menu but it isn't working is it?

Can someone confirm?
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
There are no Lock.ogg and Unlock.ogg sound files in the ROM, you need to grab them somewhere, copy to system/media/audio/ui and then they will work :)

Anyway, after a very short while I found them annoying...

eztery, any way to change the fonts ? i can't remount /system/fonts with total commander, and flashable zip contain fonts can not change it...thank's..;)
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
I've updated ADS_Magpie with the latest changes from Terry. ADS_Magpie V1.0 is ready for download now.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Fonts are in /system/fonts/fonts.sqf. you will either modify the sqf using mksquashfs tools on linux, or remove the fonts.sqf file and symlink /system/fonts somewhere there is space for the uncompressed fonts (unless you have 3+MB free with the fonts.sqf)

Some info has been previously posted both here and the COS DS thread since fonts.sqf was first added in January I think.
[G1 Android Development] josepz:
Good rom, works perfectly, thanks :)

Just two questions:

-In Ezgingerbread Extras-Power widgets-widget buttons, I pick the buttons I want to see (4 of them) and then all disspear , the deffault and my selection...

How must I do to show them again?

-I have SD-EXT checked, what the the best preferred install location (in settings-applications-preferred install location menu) , SD card, SD-EXT, or system selection?

Thanks for the good job.
[G1 Android Development] antaramir79:
This rom bricked my htc magic, I make everything how here appear, the first damage was the recovery, it was impossible to access, the rom was pretty fast but suddenly it begin to make endless bucle, so y try to go completely back with the Gold Card but I have always the same problem, I can only access to fastboot.

A solution?
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
I seriously doubt this (or any) rom would or even could brick something. I've flashed it many times on several devices (mt3g 1.2 x2, 32b magic x1, dream x3) and have had nothing but success each and every time. I've even dine weird stuff like flash it on a device using custom mtd and forget to flash the boot patch (before ezterry added it in) and is still ran flawlessly.

So you lost your recovery? Reflash it. Simple (unless you instantly blamed the rom and fastboot erased it)

You mentioned a problem with going back via goldcard, but you just ended that thought there, be specific!

Fastboot info?
[G1 Android Development] antaramir79:
I installed a lot of rom, but this one make this problem, I dont know exactly what happened.

Im trying to install the recovery with fastboot but i got it:

C:\android\platform-tools>adb shell

error: device not found

I remenber that i had the same problem, and it was the adb driver, this driver is imposible to get for me, may if I get this driver, can to reflash the recovery, but until now, I tried everything succesless.

If I push Home+power--i will have always the logo of vodafone. With the gold car I installed the sappimg.nbh with android 1.5.

Thank you for the quick answer!!!
[G1 Android Development] blizard80:
Solve the s-on problem first
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
As soon as you flashed the SAPPIMG.nbh/zip via goldcard you no longer have this rom installed and thus you are best searching or asking in the sapphire section about help flashing a stock rom (as your current spl won't support fastboot)

However in short unless you can now boot into android, you will need to reflash a SAPPIMG.nbh/zip either one for the region of your phone or with a goldcard.. This is done via either placing the SAPPIMG.nbh/zip file on the root of your SD/gold card and booting into hboot mode (power on with volume down) or via fastboot in ruu mode (requires a command I'm forgetting at the moment) unless you have an Eng or hard SPL..and it seems you don't)

I also promise this rom doesn't touch recovery on flashing.. So while we have heard of phones with bad fash causing files to have incorrect data on install, or two small of /system having an error installing some files preventing the phone from booting normally, You had to do something outside of my rom to toutch recovery.

3G UMTS HSDPA APN issues

Hi there ezterry,

thanks a lot for this awsome rom first of all. I have been pulling roms off of xda developers for quite a while and yours looks outstanding so far. But I do have a couple issues:

1. I had to manually set up the apn. Though this shouldn't be a problem for anyone using an aftermarket firmware for their android device, it was quite a bit unexpected and the first time in android for me in years.

I neglected to flash the gprs_patch_S.zip btw. I hope this isn't the cause for my second issue:

2. During data traffic I used to get an "H" next to the network strenght bars indicating that I have an HSDPA connection with the network. I will also see the "3g" symbol whenever HSDPA is not available on the network. Since installing EzGingerbread I only see the "3g" symbol. Though I do not know the connection speed as it could very will be HSDPA, but still only show 3g.

I searched this forum for both issues and I came up without anything. If I missed something, I am sorry. Please refer me to that then.

The device is a Vodafone Magic Germany 32B. Radio is 2.22.28.25, HBOOT 1.33.0013d (SAPP10000)

[G1 Android Development] SlashSpeed:
How much swap/ext/fat do you guys reccommend for this rom?

I currently have swap = 0 / ext4 = 512mb /fat32 = the rest and the rom is really slow.
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Neither swap, nor ext/fat partitioning do have influence on the speed of the ROM. Questions you should ask yourself:

- Do I have the RAM-hack (2708/0013d) installed?

- What applications / background services I am running?

- Do I have a propriate compcache/zram setting?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Maybe you are not finding the answer because niether are bugs. As niether are part of android proper.

1) APN: aosp only has a small selection of t-mobile APN's by default, sure cyanogen mod and related roms have the very large apn list, but that is something added by cyanogen mod, just as the phone companies usually include an apn for their own network when they make a rom. It possible to include the list, I don't as we are a bit tight for space and its only needed the one time after a full wipe.. and I forget its missing since its rare that I both full wipe and have a sim in the phone..

The MT3G OTA also was missing these (however my parts addon to the dream/sapphire port added the list)

2) H vs 3G vs G .. this is also not a bug, The rom is just not configured to show the 3g, its a flag in the frqamework when set it shows 3g vs H, if not the phone still operates at the same 3G/H speeds but the indicator will not show a diffrence.

Note if you are actually getting slower network connections that you are used to the GPRS patch may help
[G1 Android Development] SlashSpeed:
Thank you very much for the answer.

I do have the RAM-hack installed, with the correct radio and spl.

Even if i'm not running anything in the background, the rom is pretty slow.

About the compcache and zram settings, i have no idea. Compcache is set to 8MB.
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
I don't know, what kind of applications / services you are running, but a compcache size of 8MB is very low. Some days ago I have increased my settings from 16MB to 20MB, because I noticed, that applications were killed / must be restarted too often. Especially since we have the sqashed filesystem for xlib this will cause a lag when starting apps. I suggest you to increase the compcache settings at least to 16MB and probably also to play around with KSM.

Another hint: do not use GMaps >= 5.x or the Google+App, they are using too much memory ... ;)
[G1 Android Development] SlashSpeed:
Alright, i'll try what you suggested. Thanks again for all the help, you're a great guy.
[G1 Android Development] SpGG:
Thx (3g issue)

Thank you very much for your extensive support. When I said "issues", I didn't mean bugs. Those are issues I have with the phone.:o I believe an extensive "free" APN list should be part of any modern rom as well as the differentiation between 3G and HSDPA speeds. Though I hesitate very much to call those issues after you seem to have thought about those and decided otherwise.

After all, you are the one that put out this awsome rom and not me. So there must be something about your decision making that is correct.:D

thx again man, your rom as well as your extensive support are very much appreciated!

btw. do you think it is problematic to flash the gprs patch I neglected at first, at any later time?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Sometimes being lazy is the answer, or more to the point I don't make these small changes while debugging large changes, since it gets messy to undo the large change.

Also the 3g/h I don't really care either way, and the apn list is a good fraction of the remaining space for users with 87/2 cMTD so I'd rather the once used list be more compressed and have not gotten around to developing that minor feature. Maybe next year in v1.1 .. maybe never.. I don't know.. You will see it in every rom once you get google to include it in AOSP.

It can be flashed any time, it only edits the ro.ril settings in your build.prop.

(Note however it must be re-flashed after re-installing the rom or upgrading)

Actually regarding google plus, I find the current version still the best way to check from this phone, and they made it run much faster than the earlier versions,

However take note if you do install google plus:

1) it is a large apk and most of it is a library that will be copied to /data/data so may eat up storage space making cache data need to be wiped (automatic by android) more frequently causing slow downs, so if data is in internal storage (it ought to be in most cases) make sure you have some room before installing.

2) I adds two sync services to your google account, first on installation second after the first time you run the program, best to disable both in settings -> sync and accounts after the first run and reboot. One is upload photo related the other is just google plus

2b) Edit, forgot: You prob want to also disable both "notification" checkboxes in the g+ settings menu.. use email notifications if you wish but I don't recommend the built in notifications on our slow phones

3) sometimes runs for a little while in the background, usually exits when done or the phone is out of ram and can be ignored but as always keep an eye on services.
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
Does this ROM use Busybox? How do I make sure I have the latest compatible version for the ROM/Phone?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
????

/ $ which sh
/system/bin/sh
/ $ ls -l `which sh`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Dec 4 20:54 /system/bin/sh -> ../xbin/busybox
/ $ busybox | head -1
[B]BusyBox v1.19.2-cm71[/b] bionic (2011-10-06 22:08 +0200) multi-call binary.
/ $

In short yes ezGingerbread has the cyanogenMod 7 build of busybox.. and has since January.. with updates from time to time.

Your question however poses the responce: You prob. Do not want to touch busybox, what are you trying to do that is not working? (Ie your actual goal not busybox as the means to the goal)
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
I was just wondering. The only thing I use is the Fix_permissions. I also noticed that there is no terminal app on the rom.
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
That's because it's useless when you can download ConnectBot from the Market.
[G1 Android Development] dm5530:
With the G1's limited space, only including the things that are really needed has made some of the custom ROMs possible for us. (Of course there are some other things like the custom MTD and radio hacks that help as well.)

And it seems the choice of a terminal emulator, or telnet client, etc. is somewhat a matter of personal preference.

So if it can be downloaded separately, all the better.

Hello ezterry,

thanks for the great ROM, I am using it for months now and really like it. Lately I tried cpu spy to check what frequencies are used by the phone. I found out that there is no deep sleep used. Is this normal? Is there no deep sleep with a G1 possible? Or is there something wrong and I should see deep sleep used?
[G1 Android Development] SpGG:
Hey there, I just stumbled over another thing that is done different in EzGingerbread than in other Roms: Data Roaming is on by default. I didn't check, since I was used to it being off by default and my wife was on a business trip. I don't know how large the bill will be, but I was quite surprised. Because I always thought that it data roaming being off was the perfect (and quite natural) default. People that know the risks can easily turn it on and people that have no idea are protected. Plus, the majority of people would have it turned off anywas most of the time, since data roaming is still quite expensive.
