^^ ya i had great battery life with that cos gb rom also, dunno why we have these huge battery drain problems on froyo roms. I myself still prefer froyo 2.2.1 over the gb just because its more stable but theres gotta be some kind of workaround for the battery drain were all seeming to have, I even got a 2300mah battery that barely lasts me thru the day which is quite sad lol. I suggest turning off data sync, usb debugging(when not using it) lower brightness, 1-2 minute display goes to sleep to save as much battery as possible.

Edit: forgot to mention try using juice defender with ultimate juice, and auto memory manager by madsquirrel. I was reading thru the g1 forums about the latter and that a.m.m app is based off the g1's internal task managemnt system which is way better then any task manager you can ever install and it really does save battery since it only allows what you decide the g1 to run in the backround( I set it to defualt for best results) I was soo impressed with the app I ended up donating a few dollars madsquirrels way, just check out the reviews of other peoples experience with it too b4 you believe my post. Sorry 4 the novel everyone lol

Also,just wondering...

What's everyone that's using this rom is getting on quadrant and linpack? I know there just numbers but I find it interesting that different roms and kernels will produce higher results on same hardware. For example my daily rom sparksmod 1.6.2 with setcpu all the way to 614 just for this test resulted in 346 in quadrant and 4.05 in linpack. Awaiting to hear some results from users on this rom, I know this rom allows a higher clock cpu of 633 so should be possibly better results :D
[G1 Android Development] castaway1:
ok thanks, i know your latest kernel is best for me :) will try that on this ROM

hey dude thanks for welcome and im happy that you enjoying my work :)
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Alright, I installed the Auto Memory Manager, and it seems pretty good so far. I also disabled USB Debugging, but I'm not sure if that will really do anything. Let's see if this helps!

Also, I have one last question. Is there any way to stop apps from automatically installing to sd-ext? I did select the install location as internal in the Extras settings. However, it still installs to sd-ext. I have to manually move every app I install from sd-ext to internal, or else the app will disappear on the next reboot. Last question, I swear. :p
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
For me the same.

As in the 1st post stated a ext4 partition is mandatory.

Tried to install without ext4 partition (only fat32) and got freezes and reboots.

The setting of the install location seems to be ignored.

If there is an ext4 partition it's always used, especially for larger apps.

And these larger apps are often likely to disappear after a reboot.

I tried 4 sdcards:

- Kingston 1GB class 2

- Kingston 4GB class 4

- Sandisk 2GB class 2

- Transcendent 4GB class 6

I formatted via recovery and also using gparted (from ubuntu), always with the same layout, 1st partition fat32, 2nd partition ext4 (256MB), no swap.

Last days I tested Ginger Yoshi, also with ext4 partition.

I experienced no problem with disappearing apps >10MB installed on sdext.

How did you install it? its not signed?
[G1 Android Development] :
Thanks! The LG Rev Theme is a metamorph....

The above should be enough to tell you that goolge is your friend in these situations ;)

It's an app that allows themeing in a more controllable manner as rather than flash the whole thing it is broken down into its seperate components. Its on the market.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
This may help...it's in the OP if you need it again.

How to use Metamorph

Always Nandroid before flashing any theme.

1. Download and install the Metamorph app from the Android market.

2. Open Metamorph, allow checks and Superuser. Press menu, open settings and increase Metamorph Delay to 3500 or so.

3. If this is a new theme, choose Unzip/Extract new theme and navigate to downloaded theme zip file on your SD card.

4. Click on the zip file and Metamorph will extract the theme files automagically.

5. Information about the theme may be displayed. Select "Close" when done.

5. A list of all the sub-themes will be displayed. Click ‘Apply All!’

6. Select "Continue" to apply framework-res themed files.

7. Reboot if it doesn't happen automatically.

Tips:

- Once you have completed all the checks in the Metamorph, you can Disable startup checks in Metamorph settings. You can also Disable the warning regarding framework-res too.

- After you've Metamorphed once, you can delete the theme zip file from your SD card if you'd like. The extracted theme is saved in AndroidThemes on your SD card.

Battery time

I killed a full charge yesterday in 10 hours. I had about 5 phone calls - probably half an hour total and a dozen text messages. Wifi, bluetooth and gps off.

I'm trying an experiment today. I've installed BiffMod with the lastest ezterry kernel (same as I was using) and the same apps to see what happens with my battery.
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
BiffMod always served me a better battery life, with the same apps installed. Ginger Yoshi was even better. As far as I've heard and read is the powermanagement improved in ginger. One thing that I observed is that launcher pro seems to be too "busy". Replacing it by zeam launcher seems to improve battery live for me. Currently I'm using lazlos rom with many sys-apps deinstalled (such as voice search, voice dialer, google backup transport...). Those app were often running in background though I did not need them.
[G1 Android Development] surfwaimea:
Does anybody can give a list of the apps that can be removed safely from this ROM?
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
After flashing a rom I start the the attached bat from windows cmd prompt.

You must decide for yourself if it suits your needs.

Forgot to mention:

you need adb
[G1 Android Development] thisishoot:
hey sisterchick, was this a one time theme or are you still working on this?
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
I didn't get any feedback from anyone with any fixes, etc, so I assumed it was "cooked". :)

Battery

Hi I am having problems with my battery life(i think)

I dont know if it is becouse of the rom or battery.

I have laz rom 5.1 and it also happend with previous roms too..

But my battery seems to die awfuly quick with about 4-5 hours if im lucky... and sometimes it just turns off without even showing a drain on the battery... and then the only way i can get it to fully start again is with the charger in.... any ideas on what it could be....

not sure if it is the rom..
[G1 Android Development] :
Ever tried recalibrating it? If yes...

You need a new battery.
[G1 Android Development] ethereal24:
How do you recalibrate it.....
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
Go into recovery wipe battery stats, let battery die, then charge battery for about 8-10 hours
[G1 Android Development] ethereal24:
Alright thank you will try that..
[G1 Android Development] surfwaimea:
Thank you, I'll customize it :)

stock framework

this is for laszlo but who know.. i need stock not themed framework-res.apk of this rom (if any exist) if anybody have it please upload, i really need it.

thanks!
[G1 Android Development] :
Just take the .zip off the file.
[G1 Android Development] castaway1:
thanks but as i said.. i need not themed framework-res.apk. ROM is froyo not GB. that one you attach is framework extracted from ROM. I need not touched framework.
[G1 Android Development] :
Oh well, I have never actually seen what the hell the theme was or wasn't because I always place my own in before flashing :D

Better luck next time.
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
I think this is what you're looking for.. this was made by sisterchick.

[G1 Android Development] castaway1:
you save my life, thank you a lot! works fine! Smooth battery MOD with 5% increment is working now :)

will finish that tomorrow.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Hey Castaway...what MattDrumz sent you is a ported theme. (Stock CM6.1 ported to Laszlo). May not work if you are trying to recompile. This ROM is based on CM 6.1 final.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
First boot? The usual...five minutes or less.
[G1 Android Development] edward0119:
the battery drain is not good enough for me.If it can be improved,that will be great
[G1 Android Development] konnspiracy:
Thanks you guys I just hurried through here trying to get a fast stable rom. Gingerbread has been giving me alot of headaches.
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
I think, that cannot be globally treated.

In v5.2 is afaik the latest kernel from ezTerry included, which is , I think, one of the best you can use in our devices.

You could do battery calibration as shadowch31 often suggested (search this thread).

You can turn off usb debugging.

You can uninstall app that are alway running in background if you don't need them (e. g. voice dialer, voice search).

You can reduce display brightness.

You can use setcpu with a certain profile for screen off.

You can turn off bluetooth, wifi, 2G/3G, sync. whenever you don't need it.

You should always reboot after the device has been connected to usb.

Just do some fiddling.;)
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Keep in mind if you turn off USB debugging, other things aren't going to work until you turn it back on - specifically, Titanium Backup, Metamorph and mounting SD to copy files from PC.

I got about 16 hours off the battery with BiffMod, but I still prefer Laszlo. I'm back on this ROM with 2G network only, set cpu at 528/122, voice anything is uninstalled, no compcache or swap. It's running well. We'll see what happens with the battery.

Laszlo, are you still with us? Any thoughts?
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
Hmmm, I think mounting SD is still possible after turn off USB debugging, at least it works for me:confused:.

Only debug bridge (ADB) is (of course) not working, If I need it, I turn USB debugging on.

I don't use Titanum and Metamorph, so you're absolutely right to remark this for people using it.

BTW

It seems that the usage of swap increases battery drain (depending on swappiness).

It's probably due to the fact, that every read-/write access on SD card is consuming power.

Though I have a real fast class 6 sd card (Trancendent), I turned off swap.
[G1 Android Development] brian(::
any power saving kernels ? (x
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Ezterry's 2708 kernels are your best bet.
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
Any chance to get a version of this rom that does not need ext partition?

For me (maybe for others too) the internal memory is sufficient.
[G1 Android Development] machochico:
Hey Guys,

Great ROM, I've been enjoying it a lot, but I wondered if I could poll the experts...

I am trying to save on battery life, with varying results, but I was curious if the Radio would make a difference. I am currently running 2.22.28.25, but do you think I would save some battery with 2.22.27.08 at the cost of some speed/clarity?

I've also removed NewsGenie, Voice search and dialer, running with no swap, no compcahe and 122/528 Mhz.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

smoothMOD

Hello everybody, i ported my Analog white bar to this awsome ROM by laszlo. Primary i make smooth battery MOD so you can see your battery status accurate.It is set to 5% increment.

Thanks sisterchick for make stock "theme" and MattDrumz for sending me it.This was really needed to finish smooth battery mod for laszlo ROM.And for sure laszlo for this ROM :)

Used is laszlo stock style but with my changes like statusbar icons,spiners and a lot of things back to stock GB etc.And as it is on preview i use my APN,signal,wifi and battery styles.

Preview for bar style

Download:

http://www.multiupload.com/TBVRSVXQY2

BTW: when i wanted to change fonts to stock i had problems. I try use "addons" command but after planed reboot phone do not boot up back,i try it via root explorer,app on market,android commander but everytime i had problems like freez on boot.One way that worked was include those stock fonts into ROM and reflash.I had problems with google apps (missing gmail,maps,youtube...apps) too but flash stock gapps for cm6 helped me.

(i write this for others ..it maybe help someone with same problems)

enjoy
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Good job! Thank you for your hard work.
[G1 Android Development] gtavo:
Hi everyone!!

I was using gingeryoshi till yesterday night, I love yoshi´s team work, but I think android 2.3.x is too much for my 32B Magic, so some people recomended me this rom, and by the moment I´m so pleased, I´m not using compache neither swap, and it´s still so smooth!!.

Thanks for your work!!
[G1 Android Development] Effdee:
I think this is better than any yoshi rom because it is built from source and not a mix and match of other people's blobs.

because ezterry's ( and ADS or FR Magpie versions ) run better than the yoshi based 2.3's

it is a bit strange as yoshi based his on someone else's ( bonesy ) who compiled from ezterry's source. yoshi just added in some cyanogen7 blobs, a case of too many cooks I think.
[G1 Android Development] lacus88:
How is your test going?
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
I haven't had the opportunity to let it just run down all day - work has been real busy and I needed my phone, so I plugged it in mid-day. BUT, I do feel like uninstalling the voice dial, set cpu 528/122, 2G network only and no compcache or swap has definitely improved battery life. I also turned off the Seesmic updates, even though it was only checking every 6 hours. I plan to do a more definitive test this weekend, letting it run to empty with the same battery I used last weekend.
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
I was using BiffMod and Laszlo's roms since the beginning of this year.

BiffMod was very stable and with ezterry's latest kernel battery life was perfect. Obtained up to 6 days endurance from one full charge!

Of course mainly in standby, only some calls and syncing google account twice a day.

Laszlo's rom is so far the fastest I tried (also with ezterry's kernel) but couldn't obtain more than 3..4 days from full charge.

Yoshi's rom (rc5.2) served me an even better battery life than biffmod (1 full week!) and speed is not bad. Meanwhile I updated to rc6.1, let's see how this is.

I could not see a disadvantage of using a ginger rom.

I have always the same apps installed.

Apps that I don't use I consequently uninstall via adb (using a batch from windows cmd).

Also I nexer use ext partition.

For laszlo's rom I have reserved an ext4 partition, but only to get it installed and running stable. Apps, especially those greater than 10mb, are installed to sd-ext, though I checked "internal" in cm settings. These apps I move back to internal memory in app-manager.

Currently I have nand backups of all 3 roms.

For me a rom with the speed of laszlo's and the battery life of yoshi's would be perfect:D
[G1 Android Development] konnspiracy:
Lazlos should run longer. I have done alot of testing and I have always got better battery life from froyo than ginger.
[G1 Android Development] metalfangs:
Everything looks great except for the lockscreen. Any chance of getting a matching lockscreen and highlight colours? :(
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
Afaik ginger has an improved power management.

Which kernels and roms did you test?

Which configuration and apps?

How were your test conditions?

I use my phone rather intermittend, not having endless wifi or 2G/3G connections.

The worst thing I do with my phone is playing angry birds when I'm totally bored or as a speed test of a new rom.
[G1 Android Development] Pedunie:
One question:

Does anybody knows when will be the next release publicated? As I had installed version 4 and was incredible, but version 5.x is not working for my magic....

Thanks for your effort.
[G1 Android Development] creezalird:
Are you right now on any GB rom? Because I would like to ask, are u running any background app like Tasker or Whatsapp.

In my case,in GB rom(tried ginger yoshi,cos-ds and ezGB), the system will always restarting Tasker and also the Launcher eventhough I've enabled the keep in home launcher and also persistent mode in Tasker.

So right now I'm back to Froyo.
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
No I don't use an app like tasker or whatsapp. I bought this phone very cheap as bricked to do a little fiddling as I was used to from my linux PC (I use Ubuntu).

It is a perfect tool to extend the use of my google account.

But you're right, I also experienced the zeam launcher beeing lagging when going back from any app back to home.

I'm currently on yoshi rc6.1 and plan to run it until the battery is down to check it's endurance with this rom.

I also noticed that after ~1 day that the systems slows down. I checked memory (typed 'free' in terminal) and saw that cc is always fully used and almost no free ram left. So I had to kill services manually.

With laszlo's froyo rom there was no such behaviour.
[G1 Android Development] creezalird:
Glad to know that I'm not the only one experiencing the killing/restarting app in GB.Maybe I just stick with Froyo for the moment. I really need Tasker in my daily usages. :D
[G1 Android Development] aussiehairspray:
This is easily the most smooth ROM I've had running on my G1. More smooth than SparksMod even. Great job and thanks!
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Only problem I have with superaosp. Multitasking doesn't seem to work well in GB at all. Works great here though
[G1 Android Development] gcantu:
Just thought id put this out there. After a while my phone seemed to slow down from when first installed so I tried clearing cache via app and then the dalvik cache but didn't seem to help. I rebooted and still nothing. Getting frustrated I took the sim card from my g1 and stuck it in the my touch. Realizing how much I miss my keyboard I put my sim card back in the g1 and it seemed to work as fast as when first installed.

I know it doesn't make sense and sounds stupid but it seems like taking the battery out and then restarting the phone helped whatever was causeing my phone to slow down.
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
I increased cc from 18% to 26% and now the option "keep home app in mem." works.
[G1 Android Development] 1024k:

Thanks!!!
[G1 Android Development] thangbinh:

[G1 Android Development] mistis:
bootloop

if you have problems with bootloop juz clear dalvik-cache :

recovery -> console ->

mount /cache

rm /cache/dalvik-cache/*

mount /sdext

rm /sdext/dalvik-cache/*

problem than disappears (at least in my case)

i had similar issues with cm 5.0.8 so im guessing that along with magpie some bugs were ported

so far great rom but im only using it for a day. though even after one day i had more FC than in the last three months with ezterry's froyo port ;) but with all the goodies here im still super satisfied - thats gonna be my daily driver for a while (a longer while i wish! ;))

----------------

wiec gratulacje Laszlo swietnego romiska :)
[G1 Android Development] creezalird:
Oh, I keep both messaging and launcher app in home ticked. Besides for now I disable both CC and swap to try reducing the battery drain.

vm heap at 24 and cpu 160/528Mhz. Just testing from yesterday..will wait and see
[G1 Android Development] Pedunie:
Clear Dalvin Cache after flashing????
[G1 Android Development] mistis:
if youre bootlooping after flashing you can try it, though in my case i had a bootloop after a reboot not on the first boot of the rom.

and do it through console! wipe dc in amon_ra doesnt do the job
[G1 Android Development] castaway1:
battery life of this rom is good, i just got 1day 6hours with Green power turned on.
[G1 Android Development] TBBle:
Thanks, I just installed this ROM, it seems to have gone in alright. I repartitioned my SD, "flashed" Superwipe, power-cycled and flashed the supplied archive.

However, I had a weird problem when I ran the addon script and told it to install fonts and email, but not media (trying to make Vietnamese characters appear rather than boxes) where it self-reset during the addon install process (I wasn't watching, I'd told it to go and then did something else). And when it came back, it was boot-looping.

The only odd things I can see in my setup are: I have LookOut installed, and I had the SD card mounted under Windows via USB at the time, since I was copying my nandroid backups back onto the SD card.

During the boot-loop, I noticed it complaining that it couldn't find the Droid font files, but I suspect that's a symptom of the addon script not completing?

Anyway, I did a Superwipe and reinstalled again, I might try adding Email later, it's working fine so far.

For reference, I gave myself a 96MB swap and 512MB ext4 using Amon_Ra 1.7.0 recovery, but I haven't changed the default preformance options so it's not using the swap, and installing most stuff internally, from what I can see in the App manager.
[G1 Android Development] Nabeel_Nabs:
I can't see a splash screen when my phone boots up ; any ideas as to why, does this rom have one? I tried installing my own, still did not work.

I do see the t-mobile g1 screen, but the android splash screen does not show.

[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
I tried Green Power on my G1 and got some serious lag. :( Do you change default settings?
[G1 Android Development] nmadd:
It definitely has one.
[G1 Android Development] castaway1:
it lags a little when i turn on screen and connecting APN but its just little lag for 2-3sec or so after connect its all ok. I using it only when i go out of home so i need improve battery.

i set it to not manage wifi networks, and ON 2min - OFF 15min
[G1 Android Development] thangbinh:
how I can manual insert fonts this rom ? thanks
[G1 Android Development] creezalird:
I prefer tasker over other power management app..but of course need to program the profile yourself.

I've made mine from various reads/combinations

On wifi if at home

Screen off, wifi off and data on 7min for every 15min.

Display unlocked, wifi turn back on if at home

So far I'm quite happy with mine.Of course there are more profiles which I've not mentioned here due to no relation with power settings :p
[G1 Android Development] HiepThai:
It's my daily ROM,but unfortunately,it don't support Chinese,somebody can help?Thank in advance
[G1 Android Development] johnson8cyl:
Roms do not have splash screens they have boot animations.
[G1 Android Development] Nabeel_Nabs:
Ok,can anybody figure out why I can't see a boot animation, I see a blank screen. It cant be a simlpe fix of reflashing the rom as I downgraded to stock (rom,spl etc)

to test something out and once I reflashed this rom I still did not have a boot animation.
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Let's start at the beginning. Exactly what SPL and radio are you using? How did you wipe? How is your SD card formatted?
[G1 Android Development] sisterchick:
Thanks for the tips. I may try that. My schedule is keeping me on the move right now and the battery life on this ROM is really a problem for me. I need to make at least 12 hours on a charge with moderate use of phone and text - no wifi or bluetooth. It's tight with Laszlo. I switched back to BiffMod for the weekend - I may even try Donut or Eclair next.

PS: Anyone else notice strange behavior if you try the use the phone while it is being charged?
