There is no wake issue in v5 because v5 uses carz's 2.6.34 kernel. I have not had the chance to test whether USB connect is working with v5. If not (if it's a kernel thing), then for now users can choose to flash carz's 2.6.35 kernel but then they'll have to deal with the sleep issue until fixed.

As to ezterry's comment, I included the facebook.apk from the link he provided in the previous post in v5. Maybe I need to look into permissions or something else.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
As always, credit goes to ezterry, the devs working with him for the rom and to carz for the kernel.

I'm just the grunt doing the porting / cooking :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
I have seen FB sync working perfectly fine with CM7 Alpha, so it's not really the app.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Hey Giant_Rider,

Do you have any idea if carz is working on fixing the new 2.6.35 kernel because when I tried it before it was fixing USB mount but wake issues were pretty bad.

Also tested v5 after wipe and Google Listen and Voice Search are still broken.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Thanks for the update. I was wondering about those.....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
The last comment from carz was that he would take a look into the wake issue. I am not sure if he's had time and, if so, what kind of progress he's making.

Let's hope he's following this thread :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Hope so ;) otherwise your ROM looks good! Maybe we can figure out the permissions thing to fix the FB sync...my contacts look "lifeless" without those profile photos...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Maxxy13:
The ROM is all right. Quite snappy and all. The only issue I have is that it uses more space than v4.0FR I used previously. I was left with pitiful 13 mb after installing v5. I think it may be because v4FR moved dalvik cache to SD and v5 doesn't do this.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I can try to include some of Firerat's scripts/tweeks in future releases that free up space. I didn't think anyone was using v4.0FR on our phone, so I did not bother porting it. The G1 has less internal memory than the Magic so that is why they are so obsessed with space saving on those phones. You must have a lot of apps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Maxxy13:
According to Titanium I have 45 user apps and 69 system apps. Of them the largest one is Touchdown Exchange with its size varying between 10 and 18 MB. Unfortunately it doesn't support move to SD Card.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
it seems the camera doesnt work on most rom.

is it totally not working or just with some bugs?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Do some searching and reading. The camera does not work on most 32a 6.35 roms including this one due to driver. Roms based on Rogers 2.1 6.35 rom have a working cam.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MoreYummy:
yea, i know camera doesnt work on many rom.

Is it totally not working, or many FC, because on some rom, i can manage to make it working sometimes, but dont know why.

anyway, good enough.

thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] smoke_weed:
Amazing rom

But 2 things

new kernal turns your screen but you can fix by flashing the rom again

and is there any way We can get cyanogen settings.. like how you did with your Froyorider?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
If anyone is looking at flashing this rom, I suggest they also look at the other rom in my signature.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zyxer_raffy:
bad

What are the difference between this and crono?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Yes.......
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonJuan692006:
No. Why would you wipe battery and gyro stats everytime you flash a ROM?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Good point. When I said yes to what *wipe all* means I was thinking about what *wipe all* means in some recoveries.

In my first post I was lazy when I wrote to wipe all. I rarely wipe my battery and gyro stats.

I'll update my first post.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonJuan692006:
No worries. I realise now my first post may have seemed negative, but I assure you it wasn't.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
What would be a quick & clean way to patch Giant_Rider's ROM installation with the GPS library (that is missing) from ezterry's ROM?

Also does anyone have a fix for mounting the SD as a hard drive? This ROM does not give me the option when connected through USB to mount it. Maybe this was fixed in the ezterry's build as well... :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I'll try porting the latest ezterry build with GPS working sometime today.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
I have tried that without success...

(uninstall via Titanium, install from market)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
hmm...I haven't even bother to uninstall the one coming with the gapps, just started Market and installed the one from there and worked fine since. I actually wanted that because of its ability to sync multiple Gmail accounts...feature works fine.

Thanks a lot Giant_Rider. I appreciate it! Hopefully I will not need to do a wipe but flash the new ROM over v2.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Maxxy13:
I confirm - re-installing GMail from the Market didn't work for me. Still FC...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
You can try flashing this rom to see if GPS is fixed. Gmail is definitely not fixed.

http://rapidshare.com/files/444004327/GBRider_v3.zip

No wipe needed if coming from GBRider_v2.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
thx for the update giant_rider.

flashing it right now.

any changelog?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
I just flashed v3 ontop of v2 and looks like GPS is working but I have lost my Gmail account info and I can't add a new one...that dialog only adds corporate email account.

Any idea how to fix this?

Looks like one needs to flash gapps again after updating to v3...some authentication failures for Google Talk after, but I guess if you start clean GPS is fixed with v3.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] carz12:
Wow, I've been away for a while, guess I need to download this source and see what,s up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Yes, exactly, flash gapps again.

I'm glad GPS is fixed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Good to see you back. I sent you a PM. With luck there may be potential to collaborate and get your kernel 6355 updates included in ezterry's and CM's sources. Now that would be sweet.....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
gmail still not working with 0.3
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Now GPS works fine :) thanks!

Next problem would be the fact that we don't get those notifications in the status bar when connecting the phone to a PC via USB. As a result of that I can't mount my phone's SD as a drive.

I know you're busy so let me know if you need some help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
After more testing I have to agree Gmail app from the market is not 100% working. At times just auto-resets itself...like for example I'm reading an email and I get back to my Inbox.

Haven't checked the logs yet...I actually don't think I can get logs since USB connection is not properly working. Please let me know if anyone has that working OK.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] biictorr:
I want to update to v3 but I'm also having the problem with no USB connection notification. I've tried looking, but I can't find the command to flash a rom via fastboot. can anyone help me out?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
I use dropbox to sync with my phone and flash....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I'm testing v4 which is ezterry's latest from today ported to our phones and will upload when ready.

USB should work from recovery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
good news.

thx for your effort.

do you have any news regarding 32A CM7 integration?

from what I have read it can not be so far away?

for 32B CM7 Nightly is already available (http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/14750-unofficial-cm7-for-dreamg1-available-now/)

updated my signature
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
My guess is that it will only be working on the 32a 3.22 radio when they start posting nightlies.

I tried porting it to the 32a 6.35 already and I think there will be conflicts with the current carz v0.70 kernel. Either carz will have to update (starting with 2.6.35 from pershoot or similar) or someone else will have to work on a compatible 32a 6.35 kernel. Just my guess......
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
I usually un-mount my micro sd card and plug it in my computer using the micro2sd adapter copy the files and than plug it back and mount it in my phone...

Great news that we're going to have v4 tonight! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I have added the links to v4 in the first thread. I don't think a full wipe is necessary.

3. Flash GB rom (rapidshare, multiupload )

4. Flash gapps (rapidshare, multiupload )
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
flashing.

thx

good night (2:38am here)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Let me know how wifi is working. Mine seems off, but it could be because of something weird, local or with my phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] biictorr:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Not sure why you're getting that error, but I took down the link to v4 because it seems to have broken wifi. v3 is still up and is running good.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:

Wifi doesn't work for me in v4. Gps works fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
I am not sure anymore if wifi is working for me on v4...

I have the wifi symbol but when I download my 3G connection is used...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Only if you are on the 32a 3.22 radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
V4 wifi does not work, I'm back to V3

what fixes had v4 over v3?

Is everyone having an awesome battery life with this rom? I know some features are not working but otherwise it looks good.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Maxxy13:
My battery life is actually worse comparing to FroyoRider. The battery went from full charge to 20% in about 7 hours. It usually lasted 14-16 hours on FroyoRider.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
What mail app are you using?

I am using K9 and it was causing my battery to drain relatively quickly. I turned off automatic polling in the K9 and settings and now I get great battery performance.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Maxxy13:
I actually haven't had K9 until a couple hours ago. Thanks for the tip on automatic polling.

I'll monitor the battery performance through the next days.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
anything regarding v5? :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
This rom's wifi works if you flash v3 at least on most phones or all reported so far.

If you downloaded and installed v4 then it won't work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I am working on a v5 or fixed v4.

I managed to port a version out there and it seemed to have fixed Gmail (see full discussion in ezterry's thread in the G1 forum).

Unfortunately I was unable to get the wifi working yesterday.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
v3 or this ROM is quite amazing! the only annoying thing is the USB mount...and the notification lights

battery is very good
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
That's very good news! :) Any idea how can we get the USB mount SD working?

Is there a way I can make work adb for this ROM so I can take a look at the logs?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] smoke_weed:
Is the graphics working ?

Can i play tetris now ? :D xD
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Maxxy13:
Adb works fine for me. Just type "adb devices" and see if it detects the device.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me...have you done something different than just wipe & flash ROM + gapps?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Maxxy13:
The only thing I can think of is that I installed the V3 over V4.

Have you tried on a different machine?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Ingmaurox:
Thank and more....

Thank giant_rider and all collaborated...

I have a problem with the contacts, the Imports from SIMCard, now restart the phone replicate all contacts, other restart and have 6 contacts for one real contact

In the version 5, the camera solution? :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Yes, I did that. Same result "waiting for the device", but when I change the ROM to a Froyo or Eclair version works fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
Flash the ROM.

First thing, this ROM is slower than RCMagic V7. Is Carz's v0.7 kernel a OC kernel? Or may be there is another OC kernel available for this ROM?

No AP2SD install. Hope that will be available later.

Gmail can load the mail but also automatically reload and return to Inbox.

GPS, Talk worked

Cam is not working
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] biictorr:
Had problems flashing v4 so I changed to seo's recovery. After flashing that recovery I did fastboot system erase. I just flashed v3 and its working as expected, except my contacts aren't showing up. I restored contacts via TB and imported a vcard backup, but neither worked. Also tried importing from SIM, and still have nothing. It says I don't have any contacts to display.

I had to skip the initial setup process because I couldnt connect to the network or to wifi, but those are both working now. And my calendar has synched so I don't think thats the problem..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
Installed Ap2sd app and some of my apps could not move to sd card.

After using Titamium backup to restore my apps, the phone turned to Android image. Reset the phone and when unlocked the phone, it turned to Android Image again.

Need to wipe the phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
hey man have you flashed gapps after v3? you need that in order for your Gmail & contacts to work
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Maxxy13:
Darn... My battery life is twice shorter comparing to FroyoRider. Can't figure out what's at fault...

It also significantly slower than FroyoRider.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
My battery life was great until this weekend when, after testing stuff I was working on, I wiped and did a Nand restore to GBRider_v3. Yesterday my battery life was very poor. Last night I wiped my battery stats or whatever it's called in recovery and today my battery is doing great.

GB is also fast for me.

:confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] biictorr:
I did. Rebooted and now everything that's supposed to work works. Thanks anyway.

Rebooting also helped fix my problems the first time flashing v2 so maybe if people are having problems after flashing they should try that first.

Battery life is pretty good for me too.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Thibor69:

Flashed fine but everything looks Green

Hi

I was curious to have GB on my MT3G 1.2 and flashed it, but everything looks green (hue). I can't seem to make it white.

My system details

SAPPHRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON-G

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

CPLD-13

RADIO-2.22.23.02

Oct 21 2009,22:33:27

I tried to switch the radio/SPL but fastboot won't let me without eng-SPL and I don't have my goldcard any more to get it back to eng mode.

Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonJuan692006:
You need to flash a new kernel. This one should work. Just flash it from recovery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
Full charge at 12am. Battery left 88% after 7 hours of standby (only 1 email received).

10 phone calls about 20 minutes and now is 55% (after 2.30 hours more).

So I think the battery still is a issue.

After crash the phone last night, did a full wipe and not use ap2sd, nothing happened.

So giant, can you pls think about ap2sd solution? This rom could not move some app to sd.

Tks

Up to now, my battery is 9% (from 7.30am to 1pm).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dcnarad:
Thanks a bunch DonJuan692006

it worked like a charm, also I switched the radio and hboot. working smoothly. I have just one more question. I had backed up all my apps b4 I swapped ROM using titanium, but now it wont restore them. Is it because I switched OS version. Is there a way to get all my apps back. I also have a nandroid backup of my data, if there is a way to restore apps from there as well.

Thanks again
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Also I don't know if you guys noticed...or maybe it's working for you ;)

Voice Search doesn't work, looks like it's trying to start but exists before you have a chance to do anything (this is v3 I'm talking about).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Maxxy13:
The issue confirmed. I think it's a memory thing...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] iznogoud77:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] linusr:
seems battery drain starts after making first phone call.. will check again tonight
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DonJuan692006:
Unfortunately can't help there as I've never used Titanium. I always just re-download all my apps. The only one I'm worried about having the data for is RoboDefense, but the nice little backup it makes on the SD card saves me there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Maxxy13:
Giant_rider, do you have a version with working gmail? I'd take it even if the wifi is broken.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Are you sure about that? LOL.

I will upload it in a few hours.

Maybe someone with more knowledge can fix wifi.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
I've had a v5 that has working Gmail since this past weekend.

Perhaps I should have mentioned that there is a work around for the wifi problem. It's a bit of a pain, but you can get wifi working. What you have to do is go into your wifi settings, click the menu button, go into the advanced settings for wifi and then select static IP and enter the static IP settings. Once you've done it, I think there is a free market app to save those settings. It's called Wifi Static. I got my wifi working this way, but I think you have to maintain static IP settings for each network you try to connect to. You can then use the Wifi Static apk to save and switch between those profiles whenever you need to access a different network. Like I said it's a hassle.

When I said wifi is broken, what that means is that it can't lock on to a network using DHCP. If you google "froyo dhcp not working" you'll see lots of phones have had a similar issue.

I will upload v5 later.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
Thanks for the update Giant_Rider! :)

Can't the wifi part from v3 be moved to v5 so that we have both working?

Any idea why dhcp for wifi is broken in v5?

I'm still using v3 and even if it has some issues I like it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] :
Maybe, but I was unable to figure out how to fix it last weekend and I tried doing multiple things.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
U can use email app to run Gmail. It just only do not merge email like Gmail but I like to Imap of this (can delete the read Email in the server which Gmail could not do).

I am using this way with gmail.

To Giant: the battery consumption of cell standby seem very high, is it the reason of drain battery so quick? Comparing with RCMagic V7, my battery dropped very little in standby mode (from morning to evening just lost 5%0

I wipe the battery stats in recovery as ur suggestion but after that the battery stats seemed not correct.

Usb still could not use, adb devices did not work.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Maxxy13:
I'm having a problem with free space on the phone. Looks like this ROM is using more space then Froyo.

I've already moved to SD all apps that support this and still the free space is as low as 13 Mb now.

Any solution?

Update: wiping cache and Dalvik-cache freed up 7 MB. I'll see if it fills up again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ntphuong:
Is there update of this ROM, Giant?

Still need Camera working and A2SD full (remove all app)

In my point of view, the V3 got the battery unstable issue (some time is long, some time is short).

Tried re calibrating my battery a couple days ago. Drained it twice, then wiped battery stats, then charged while off for about 7 hours. Since then I keep getting random shutdowns when I don't use the phone for a bit. And when this happens I'm unable to turn the phone back on unless I pull out the battery. Actually, none of the buttons respond when this happens so I'm not sure if it actually shut down or if its just asleep. Also, my battery life has actually gotten worse. Have I been misinformed on the benefits of re calibrating?

Edit: seems like the shutdown happens when im in airplane mode. This is a problem because I have a program that turns it on when I have no signal in order to save battery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] shadow_empire1:
thx giant_rider!
