Hmm.. I'm using

hw@BibleBelt /mnt/usbstick/android/ezGB $ python --version

Python 2.7.1

and repo works - if the server is responding.

The part of repo that throws the error doesn't really do much:

ie. it tries to run "git --version".

Are you sure git is in your path? When I move git out of my path, and I run "repo sync" I get a similar error as you.

[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
... but is it on your PATH?

What happens when you enter the command "git" on your console window?
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
Man, you're lacking git. Install it and be done!

P.S.: yep, I'm being a git with this comment.
[G1 Android Development] sebx_g1:
Hi , I have two problems with ADS-magpie ROM 16/06/2011 - first I can't set individual ringtones for contacts - always default is played and second problem gingerbread gost sms heavily visilble I don't receive more than 50% sms ? Any solution except changing ROM - it is fastest gingerbread for me ?
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
How much zram do you use? I increased it to 20MB now and all the time I receive a SMS it's shown by Ghostly and System in parallel, so I didn't miss any SMS.

Regarding the custom ringtones, I do not have any idea at the moment. Do you see some error messages in your log, either when setting it or when receiving a call?
[G1 Android Development] sebx_g1:
Where to setup ZRAM ? I switched off compcache since I use linux swap partition , but I suppose ZRAM is not the same as compcache ? - I will check logs today at the evening , no visible FC errors are shown - when incoming call is receveied just it's individual ringtone is not played .
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
You can use spare parts to set the zram size (compcache size). I suggest at least 8MB, but if you are running some widgets / additional services in background probably 12 or 16MB would be better. I suppose it's obvious that you are loosing sms when running the ROM without zram / compcache. Several services need to be restarted again and again which takes some time ...
[G1 Android Development] sebx_g1:
So ZRAM=compcache and compcache is better than linuxswap in your ROM , ok i'll try this settings . What swappines is prefered ? Thanks for help .
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
The standard is 25, that's the best setting I found up to now. I tried 15, but then I got some fc's due to lack of memory. You could try 40, but I think it's too high.

[G1 Android Development] dw9906:

[G1 Android Development] conorkickass:
Hey guys,

I had something wonky happen yesterday: My Google Services Framework force-closed. Then it kept FC-ing. I restarted the phone, and when it started up all of my data (contacts, messages, homescreen settings) were erased.

That's not that big of a deal, but the weirdest part is that the HOME button stopped working. I can hold home to restart into recovery (so the physical button works) it's just as though the OS has forgotten what it does.

ADS-16-06 w/ 20mb ZRAM @ 25 swappiness.
[G1 Android Development] creezalird:
i did experienced too FC with google framework during syncing contacts..but after a day or night, the problem just go away, this happened especially after my 1st time full sync and update sync with update fb picture (syncmypix)
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Some odd settings have historically caused people to complain about the Home button.. all I can say there is a clean up your install. (or a recent backup)

Without a logcat of when the crashing happened I don't know if I can say much.. has the sound of a brand new bad block that the system was unable to work around without data loss.

Might before trying anything else wipe dalvik-cache reboot then run fix permissions.

That and for people with my v1.4 kernel to keep an eye out for yaffs2 issues as I've updated the yaffs2 codebase in that build. (Once incident proves nothing.. but if its common it will need to be looked at)
[G1 Android Development] creezalird:
may i ask what the sympton to watch for yaffs2 issues if occured? :confused:
[G1 Android Development] mikeyv:
Can you add dutch language in new release ?
[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
Since upgrading to the latest version the WiFi connection keeps crashing. The last alpha was much more stable :( Swappiness is at 60, RAM is free, and it crashes, due to a lack of RAM it seems. Can't even download more than 3 MB. I'm starting to hate Android more and more, bought a WP7 phone for my mother, and it simply _works_. Fast, easy, beautiful, no crashes. :-/

Had the same problem with newer COS-DS versions.
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
Probably switching back to the lastest official version for the G1 is a solution for you. It's very stable, unfortunately lacking all of the features you would like to have to ...
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
1) did you tell us what phone you have: dream, sapphire 32b. Sapphire 32a?

2) what radio

3) what hboot

4) are you using customMTD

5) did you try running fix_permissions, rebooting into recovery, clearing cache, and wiping dalvick_cache, (doing the last one at the command line if you are using ra-recovery)

6) did you try wiping?

7) did you look for others with the problem and see what their solutions was?

8) if there was a real problem getting us a logcat or dmesg output so we can investigate.

Some notes:

* Wifi works (a bug found and debugged on other phones about long lived dhcp requests is not yet patched will be in my next release) but this will have been around for the last few releases.

* Bluetooth, in general works but there are non confirmed reports [ie forgot the above step 9] on the MT2.1 and of drain with the headset

* Downloads my be limited.. but the limet is much greater than 3MB, reboot and try again... make sure cache is cleared

* I see no ram issues in the core rom.. some apps (such as googles latest mapps app) are not optimized for our older devices and may cause problems. 3rd party apps may also have an issue.

* this is not the thread to ask about unrooting, or upgrading
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
Do not compare a device from 2008 with one from 2011. A G1 is great, but check out a newer Android device before looking at Windows. You might have a fast, easy, beautiful Android phone with no crashes if you weren't trying to shoehorn a November 2010 ROM into an October 2008 phone. LG Optimus runs beautifully and it's a low spec phone.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
I think this is actually a bug on other phones as well ... least it looks like what in theory happens on very long lived dhcp leases.. fix in my next release. But maybe time for you to log into the router and set it to 24h to 72h or so
[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
@ezterry: That's great :) I'll just wait for the next release then. Currently I've still borrowed the Optimus 7, so I'm fine.

@kingjehu: I do have looked at other phones, but at the price point of the WP7 devices you can only find devices with small, low res low quality screens and ancient CPUs. The HTC Desire has similar specs to the LG Optimus 7... it costs 300 Euro, compared to 160. And a friend owns the Optimus 2x. Even he complains about crashes and sluggish performance compared to WP7, even though WP7 is running on first gen Cortex A8 CPUs rather than the latest dualcore chips. Compared to WP7 the Android UI also feels ancient, there's stuff like when you press the volume buttons you can play or pause your music. Whatever you are currently doing. Same on the lock screen. The media player doesn't play everything, but the UI is beautiful, well structured and easy to use. Somehow it's more consistent (though there are very frustrating parts about it too... no access to the file system, so no side loading of ebooks for the Kindle reader e.g., and you can't even see the battery status in percent (nowhere... are they serious?)). Can't wait to see Honeycomb/Ice Cream on a phone though, tried it on a tablet and it looked good, apart from the lack of hardware buttons (which bothers me with WP7... no pick up the phone call button).

Oh well, sorry for the OT.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Overall no major change, just releasing the compiled list of small updates I have been working on. (thus not delaying some of the fixes until I complete something more major)

I recommend after installing to run fix_permissions by one of the following:

A) adb shell fix_permissions

B) install ConnectBot from market, make a local (not ssh) conenction with a name for your phone, run 'su' accept root permissions, then run 'fix_permissions' at the local terminal, obviously other terminal apps can be used instead.

C) Install Rom Manager from market and use it to run fix permissions via the menu option

Note about the superuser update feature:

In general I prevent superuser updates to ensure no one can authorize themselves as the Superuser.app and thus grant themselves root access without informing you.. Thus you need to be sure you are getting the correct version of the Superuser.apk when you upgrade, and before allowing the check to be bypassed.

When Will ezGb RC1 be released:

Well some things need to happen first:

1) we need to ensure the rom is equal to or an improvement over my MT3G-Test3.. my opinion at current is that mostly it is an impovement but there are some usability quirks that either need to be documented or otherwise ironed out

2) I want a more dedicated site for all of the official documented information, (here we can of course continue to discuss the rom) This will likely be in the form of a github pages site thus if anyone wishes to contribute they can either clone the repo.. or use the online tools to edit the files and send me a pull request for inclusion. Last this of course means if anyone is keeping up better than I am I can grant them write access to the site via github.

3) GApps package needs some ironing out.. for some users the current one is ideal... but I think it best the default one have the old talk app unless we get the voice/video working.

basically I wish RC1 to be a stable release that is hopefully quickly followed by 1.0

Note this will not stop other feature development, this is just to refine the distribution of the rom.

BTW Let me know if the wifi issues is fixed.. I never had a problem so its harder for me to test.
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
Is there a way to install the Theme Chooser apk I pull from somewhere? Would it even work?

Also, thanks for the new update. I'm flashing it today.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
It requires changes to framework, Rolex assures me it has no impact to memory usage however so its somewhere on my todo list. I do like the idea as it is and easy way to substitute resources for a theme.

Also is the power widgets and some other bits AndDiSa has been working on.

I'm also looking at some built in bluetooth pan tethering code submitted to Cyanogen:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/6330

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/6329

Unfortunately it didn't quite work for me (my macbook recognized the pan interface, and requested DHCP.. I saw the phone respond to DHCP.. but the macbook didn't seem to recieve the response and 'busybox ifconfig' on the phone didn't show the pan interface that ought to have been set up.. so something is not quite right.
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
will flash and update about my observation about this new beta, but as you said there is no major update so nothing extra is expected I guess, but still am following you step by step :)
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Forgot about the Magpie checks terry ? ;) Should fix issues ppl w/o a sd-ext were having on some apk's.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
I thoght I mentioned it *confused*

Anyway can't say I'm 100% sure what part of that fixed it.. I suspect there is still a bug in the case an app perfers internal and the app can fit on internal but not the sdcard where the internal ought to be selected..
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
And a small additional feature:

I wish you some luck finding a gapps package to go with it.. but here is an alternative language version:

bg_BG cs_CZ da_DK el_GR fi_FI hu_HU nl_NL sk_SK sr_RS sv_SE

tl_PH tr_TR uk_UA en_US

see the adtl.details link for the commit (not included in the beta checkpoint, but now in github)

This is the partial package described of course for your personal builds you can just build the EZGB_ALT_LANGPACK1=true set, (either on the command line or in a buildspec.mk)

FYI I am using a buildspec.mk for the rom manager metadata (template can be found in .repo/manifests/samples/buildspec.mk)
[G1 Android Development] Cokxx:
Hey all! I've got a little question to the gps. Isn't it working on you too or am I the only one with this problem? I'm running the latest build from the 26th June and the build before had this bug as well. In 'Maps' I have to use w-lan (but I don't have one) get a better location information and in 'Navigation' and 'Around Me' it never ends to look for my location. Any solution to fix ithat?

Thx in advance ...
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
I'm getting a quick lock here, 5seconds or less.

2.22.28.25 radio +1.33.0013d spl on a rogers dream in the toronto area...

Some general thing to keep in mind about GPS:

It needs some data (assistance data) about the system state to lock onto your location.. either from the net or slowly gatherd from the GPS system its self.. if you don't have the data a lock can take a long time.

Latest ADS (26th) has been rebooting like crazy since flashing. First time it was a full reboot, then around three "android reboots" meaning no carrier/htc logo, but bootanimation.

I was doing fix_permissions every time. Now it could finally complete the execution, I'll see what happens. :) I have to say I didn't clean dalvik caches (maybe I should remember doing that everytime...)

Reading threads randomly is actually kinda fun. But there is some truth to what he said.

Now back on topic. Anyone else having issues sending messages? They randomly decide to fail for me. Not sure if its the rom or not
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
I had some problems, too, after flashing the ROM, especially some processes not responding, but then I ran fix_permissions, rebooted the phone and afterwards everything was fine ...
[G1 Android Development] muldy:

App installing works now, no more "no space" errors.

All good :)

Is there a way to add the greek language with t9 to the default android keyboard?
[G1 Android Development] loukvlav:
Download smaprtkeyboardpro from market. It has an addon for greek that supports greek t9 perfectly.
[G1 Android Development] arkara:
Why pay for a keyboard?
[G1 Android Development] loukvlav:
Because it's the best you can get :)

Why is it so strange to you to pay for a keyboard??? I don't understand your question...

You can also try MultiLing Keyboard or AnySoftKeyboard which are free and also support greek via plugins, but Smart Keyboard is the best.

do you have g++-4.5.2-multilib <<-- I think that's the version you need... installed that was the solution I found on google.

that should fix it

Newest ADS and newest round up of rebooting-frenzy.

This is the last last_kmsg, since all the "middle" one were impossible to grab.

Do you notice anything useful?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Yes it was the radio firmware:

[color=red][ 150.444702] ARM9 has CRASHED[/color=red]
[ 150.445251] smem: DIAG 'MOD SM_T:PFault 00000

(or maybe that ought to be no... its the radio firmware.)

But ADS ought not be doing that more.. seems most common for me when you try to use GPS and have a data connectivity issue.. Usually such as your connection is sending everything to a portal page.. Not sure where this bug is.. radio, gps closed source binary.. confusion on the kernels part.. Its nothing new so hard to track.. this kernel is better than some of the others.

Try 'adb shell logcat -b radio' as soon as your boot animation begins and maybe we can see more.. (but clear dex cache first)
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
You can find an apnsUpdate20110705-signed.zip in my dropbox (link see below). It will replace the old apns-conf.xml by the one from cyanogenmod. You can flash it on top of the rom from recovery.

Gents,

Updated to ADS 200110703-1, and SD-Ext isn't mounting anymore... I was using

Amon_RA recovery, so I forgot to manually rm /sd-ext/dalvik-cache/* before flashing the update,, maybe that screwed up my sd-ext partiton:

Logcat says:

I/mountsd ( 90): User has not enabled magpie a2sd mounting.. skipping

Tried using the "Repair SD:Ext" option in Amon_RA, no joy...

I really don't wanna superwipe and start from scratch, so please help!

Go to settings -> application -> development and enable a2ext on boot. Reboot and everything should be fine.

Gingerbread kernel ezgb-v1.5 is out:

(also on Rom Manager just backup and install)
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
Thanks!

Will flash it right know.

Are there any major differences?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Pick the answer at the right detailed level for you:

Between v1.4 and v1.5:

https://github.com/ezterry/kernel-b...-2636-v1.4-20110615...ezgb-2636-v1.5-20110706

Or:

* add many linux stable/longterm patches and rename kernel to 2.6.36.4-s3 (3rd set of stability patches on top of the 2.6.36.4 base to keep us up to date despite the official kernel's last release in February)

* efficiency tweaks from pershoot2636 kernel for the gtab

* Add USB accessory support to the kernel (framework library is also needed, and is not in the current version of ezGb will be in next build])

* Some other kernel patches and cleanups

Or

Its more secure and faster and posed to be in the next version of ezGb if you want to start testing with it now.
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
Ok, done. :)

I've saved both the output of the command you gave me and the complete logcat output I got in Eclipse. And... there's a last_kmsg too. Phone is rebooting yet again. This happened after the flashing of your 1.5 kernel and purging of every dalvik-cache I had (/data and /sd-ext/).

Anything useful/weird? The log is really long...
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Um that's a new one.. looks like a free_pages error that I've not seen reported since v1.3.. but its also indicating you killed the kernel stack.. something I've not seen.

Also a closer look at the previous arm9 trace of yours I see a [bad] memory error.

We will se what others report .. I know there is some issues past and present with the ARM9 and bad gps xtra data for the GPS after some look at historical cm code .. but I'm not sure about this newer paging error.

If you have setcpu its time to uninstall it.
[G1 Android Development] newellj79:
Terry. Do u know if the Droid x keyboard link posted in the froyo link of your sig will work with ads?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
It won't that version is odexed thus can only work with the MT3G-Test3 and MT3G official froyo OTA.

Get the one on the biffmod post if you wish to try.. note the droid-x keyboard and gingerbread keyboard may not play nice together so you may need to make sure only one apk is installed.. I've not really tried the droid-x keyboard on gb.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Sadly, I tried the BiffMod DroidX on GB and it does not work. Force close.

Thanks for the new kernel!

PS: I've tried several of the keyboard replacements on the Market and found Smart Keyboard Pro to have best memory footprint and decent function. Swiftkey is still my favorite, but memory wise it is a Hoss! (12Mb for Swiftkey vs 5Mb for Smart Keyboard vs 8Mb for GB LatinIME)
[G1 Android Development] ibraheeemz:
by uninstalling setcpu, you mean that this kernal is even faster without over clocking? its amazing man!! flashed it, will update its performance soon.
