Updated my theme for newest release COD D/S 03282011 TD HCUL
[G1 Android Development] Dukenukemx:
Thanks, i'll try it.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Also look for posts I made probably a dozen or so pages back showing what settings I have, and others have made similar posts with their settings. Try first, though, just charge it 100%, unplug it, THEN reboot it, and see where your % is after an hour or three to check drain. May be the bug, but IDK what process is associated with the bug so as to know if the bug is running or not...
[G1 Android Development] river-dragon:
I'm really enjoying this rom!

I have two bugreports and two questions.

Bug1: if I disable the virtual keyboard the submenu "about phone" force closes. Re-enabling the keyboard brings the correct behaviour back. This is quite annoying because I feel no need for the virtual keyboard, and it eats 5 mb of ram. Using cyanogenmod-6.1 I had it happily uninstalled.

Little addition, after startup the keyboard is always enabled (CM6.1 had the same issue).

Bug2: I can't add new widgets! I tried with "android agenda widget" and "make your custom clock widget", and a couple more I don't remember.

G1

Radio 2825

SPL 0013d

Stock kernel

ROM 03252011 full

Q1: why is ext4 recommended? It's a desktop-oriented filesystem, aimed at rotating disks, lots of I/O in terms of bandwidth and frequency of reads/writes, big (sometimes huge) files, crash recovery. I'm using ext2 as it is less resource-hungry, simpler, and without a (mostly useless) journal. Plus, I thought clockworkmod recovery 2.5 couldn't write to ext4.

Does having ext2 instead of ext4 affect anything?

Q2: I have a feeling the stock kernel doesn't free the additional 14mb of RAM, am I wrong?
[G1 Android Development] fleity:
i get a bootloop apparently after flashing gapps-tiny. the rom without anything else works fine. ezterry's kernal does not help.

... what am i doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] Dukenukemx:
In the past, I have used ext2 and the memory can corrupt if the phone dies. If the phone runs out of power, or you drop the phone and the battery pops out, it can corrupt data. With ext3 and ext4, you don't have this problem.

If you don't have butter fingers, and love to keep the phone plugged in, then I don't see why not. Unless there's some strange compatibility problem with ext2 and rom.
[G1 Android Development] g1user101:
12 hours, 14minutes and 53 seconds since unplugged from 100%, and im at 66%.
[G1 Android Development] smashman42:
It has the market built in & all the other gapps can be downloaded from the market, so don't flash gapps & problem solved. If you are in a country where not all the gapps are visable get market enabler or similar to spoof the country to one that does work.

Re: battery drain, attached usage pics from the last ~17hrs, the first 5 of which had WiFi & sync enabled. Had used ADB & DDMS prior unplug, no reboot & USB debugging left on.

Stock 32B Magic 1340mAh battery & built in autokernel for 2708+ (.0013d & 28.25) from the 0325 release - the whole phone is only around 13mths old though so newish battery is going to be a factor, but that doesn't explain the high Android OS use people getting drain have that I don't have.

28% in ~17hrs, 5yrs of sporadic WiFi use (you can see the graph flatten out when I disabled WiFi & sync, 18% used when I turned it off) then sleep & forgot about the phone for a while when I got up before grabbing the screen shots.

I've flashed every COS version over the top of the previous from 0310 which was flashed over an ezGB version to keep my data (COS wouldn't sync WiFi passwords & market apps over WiFi & 3G is non-existent at my house)

Is the drain bug G1/Dream only? (not MT3G/32B Magic, 32A Magic or MT3G1.2)
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
One day, I have awesome battery life. Android OS behaves. The next day it's horrible. Android OS shows up as the worst offender. The phone was awake while screen was off. I don't get it.

While I'm here...

I went from 23/3/2011 to 25/3/2011 yesterday without a wipe and it seemed to have wiped everything. I tried to nandroid back. My free space was less than a megabyte, with no apps and my recovery stopped working. Weird. Do I need to wipe everything when updating to 28/3/2011?
[G1 Android Development] smashman42:
This one didn't work for me, all the previous ones have. It looked like it worked when I flashed it, same things came up as normal. :confused:

kingjehu - I've flashed straight over the top no wipe from 23 to 25 (and 25 to 28) without data/app loss, though I'm not using apps2ext just internal memory
[G1 Android Development] ThdDude:
Well Just flashed ROM and then theme and rebooted and it worked for me? Not sure maybe re-download and try again?
[G1 Android Development] Dukenukemx:
I'm using EZterry's kernel, but not the latest. I'm using ezBiffTestKernel20101106-2708_S.zip

Now my phone sips power. No crazy battery drains for me. I might try his latest kernel later, but I'm extremely happy with the battery performance with this one.

Some fellow called farmatito says he might have fixed the infamous usb drain bug. Any plans to include this fix in the future?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Nope, the kernel in the rom its build be me and works quite well, all other kernels do not, as stated before many times, your drains are made by yourself and the applications you are using.

In this rom im not going to add any random binaries floating around the boards, a kernel isn't just something one picks up.
[G1 Android Development] farmatito:
You can study the sources I've posted with full explanations...
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
The kernel used in this rom is made from the CM unified 2.6.35 repo, this kernel never had much of a issue with the USB drain, i had my phone working even 4 days. If im going to put time into something would be on the .37 branch which is the current CM kernel with all the new stuff. If you think your patch its good then go ahead and submit it to them(tho afik there's no issues with drains on .37 just .35), this is how things are done, not the other way around. Least how i see it.

Also i like the Open Source concept, without it nothing around here would be possible, if CM or EzTerry projects was like MIUI, if others would keep their improvements to them self, then indeed D/S would have been done for quite some time now imo.

Further more, when there are quite a few people (1500 + downloads on a release - im not adding here others who use COS as base here btw, who probably have even more spread.) you can't just insert things you have no control over.

p.s

If i had "made" any contribution to the code itself id surely had it posted, that's not the case though, this rom is build form whats out there.
[G1 Android Development] river-dragon:
Ok, thank you, I'll try ext4 without the journaling.
[G1 Android Development] Paul Shirley:
Oh, there's a very real problem, it's just seems much harder to trigger than on Froyo builds. Unplugging during an adb logcat op seems pretty effective at triggering it. Unlike Froyo I'm also occasionally seeing drain issues rebooting while on the wall charger, which is more of a problem because its unexpected.

If I understand farmatito's adb patch correctly, it makes the adb daemon try much harder to relinquish USB resources and looks very plausible as a 'fix'. In stock kernels stray resources would prevent usb powering down and that will also keep the CPU active. Since the daemon doesn't seem to unload, the driver framework can't unwind the usb use either. It explains a lot of the mysterious mix of symptoms I've seen.

However I cant help wondering what else is broken, because disabling usb debugging doesn't completely stop the bug in my experience.

BTW: I've also woken with my phone on course for 200hours standby. Other days I've been woken after 6 hours (from 100%) as the low power alarm trips. I'll never find out how many days it can really go though, too much browsing over breakfast every morning ;) ]
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
That might be it. I have a G1 and I think the ROM has a script to wipe EXT. If I had a MT3G I wouldn't use EXT either. Maybe some swap though.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Just reboot the phone after the unplug, its really that simple ! :D
[G1 Android Development] pappadj:
It's been awhile since I've messed with my G1 but I have to break it out and update it so I'm sorry if I'm missing a step here but I have Amon Ra 1.7 installed and I installed update_2.22.28.25_S.zip from "Flash zip" in Amon and then installed COS-DS-03282011-full-signed.zip ... I get a constant reboot now.

I booted into Fastboot using the camera button and I have

Dream PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA100000)

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.28.25

So I'm guessing I need to upgrade my hboot but I am not at a computer where I can run ADB, is there another way to upgrade the SPL or am I missing a step. Sorry for the noobish question.

Edit: OK I found a zipped hboot-1.33.0013d.zip file and applied it and now I'm showing

Dream PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-1.33.0013d (DREA100000)

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.28.25

I ran the COS-DS-03282011-full-signed.zip installation again and still it constantly reboots. What am I missing?

**EDIT #2: So I partitioned my card using Amon_ra using 1024 system and 0MB swap and bumped the part to an ext 4 and redownloaded and reloaded the radio and rom and it seems to be good. I got a different source for the radio this time as I felt the booting issue may have started with that. So who knows which of these steps fixed it but it works now. Sorry about this. Nice ROM btw! :)
[G1 Android Development] Dukenukemx:
Honestly, I don't load applications when I flash a rom. When testing a rom, I flash it, make some setting changes, and sync my contacts from Google. Only after a couple of days of testing the battery, will I then load my applications, and then begin testing them. After a week of no problems, the rom becomes my daily driver, until something more shiny would tempt me to flash another rom.

I haven't had much luck with roms and battery life, but after flashing that kernel, I'm sitting at 62% charge on my battery, since charging it yesterday. Did I need to reset the phone after charging? Maybe. Was it the USB drain bug? Who knows.

All I know is that my battery life now, is sexy.

Was hoping that someone with knowledge could validate that he may have solved the bug. This bug has been around for a very long time.
[G1 Android Development] crypticc:
Hi. Roalex.

I.appreciate everything you've pulled together here.

Do you mind if I ask a quick polite question, is this rom zipaligned? Sorry if this is a lame question.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Yes and all applications this days already are ;)
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Look if i "knew" about some serious draining i would have no issues saying its so, the usual battery saving setup works, put out the gsp, stick to 2G, disable data (you can toggle all this things when you need the), max cpu 528.
[G1 Android Development] g1user101:
battery probs? theres like a post in this thread tht helps batt problems. ive been running on moderate use for like 10 hours and im still at 80%.
[G1 Android Development] Effdee:
ok, just so I'm clear

@roalex , your kernel doesn't use @farmatito's patches and you don't have the usb drain?

@farmatito

assuming @roalex answers with yes, is there a chance that your patches made it into the repo he uses?

I'm just asking because I have noted that @farmatito tends to switch code bases, so the fix may be in the code base and not the patches

I've also noted other reports of good battery life, and it is unclear if @farmatito patches were involved, these reports also predate the release of the patches

further more @farmatito cites the adbd patch to be the key, yet battery drain has been occurring regardless of adbd being in use

regardless I shall patch my chosen kernel src ( CM ) and see what I get

( I'll roll back to a historic version so I know it is the patch and not current code )
[G1 Android Development] logpc:
Thanks for this great ROM Roalex ! I've just one problem, i've black screen with just the sound in Youtube or in video streaming. Anybody got this think ?

[G1 Android Development] javon27:
Want to flash ASAP on original myTouch 3G

Wow... it has been a long time since I posted anything on XDA. Actually, it's been a while since I've loaded a new ROM on my phone (last one being ezterry's OTA Froyo). But for the last few months I've been keeping an eye out for good Gingerbread ROMs and this one has really been on the top of my list to try. I have two questions which I haven't seen asked or answered in this thread:

1. How does Angry Birds play on this ROM?

2. Since I'm on an original myTouch 3G, do I really need to partition my SD with swap and EXT4?

I've done it before and don't mind doing it again, but I really am too lazy to do it if I don't need to. Either way, it's 1 AM here, so I think I'll finally make the jump and flash this baby on my phone tomorrow after (during?) work, partion required or not. I'm really tired of the 6-12% per hour battery drain, even with everything turned off, and 2G only. Anyways, I'll be back to let you guys know how it goes. Tata for now...
[G1 Android Development] javon27:
that happens with the high quality youtube vids. sometimes toggling HQ on and off fixes, other times changing from landscape to portrait then back does. and as a last resort, reboot.
[G1 Android Development] smashman42:
1. plays fine if you disable the background, choppy if you don't - pretty much the same as froyo

2. There isn't any manditory partitioning stuff with this rom, straight FAT is fine.

If you want swap rather than compcache you can set it up (use your own script though, not autodetect) but really default settings are fine

I assume you already have the .0013(d) SPL & 27.08+ radio to get 14mb extra ram? cause you'll probably want it if you don't already have it
[G1 Android Development] bosna110:
funny thing is how i only get about 5 to 7 maybe 8 hours on a full charge when i am not even using my phone a lot.. i only sent about 20 texts and made a 5 minute call and my battery died.. ugh.. my phone is using and android os way too much. im really shocked at how much it chugs... and i dont even have gps or wifi or 3g on.. really stinks.
[G1 Android Development] paradix:
Hello,

The installation did not work for me, but not a big deal.

Somes bugs appears in this rom :

- the french keyboard has an inversion between "A" and "Q"

- I can not connect my wifi but it is maybe because of my box... still searching

- can you add OI file manager or another file manager program?

This Rom is the fastest ever on my G1, great job!

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] javon27:
Thanks for the reply. And yes, I do have that radio and spl. What's the difference between using a script and the swapper2 app? The last time I had my sd partitioned, that's what I used to set my swap up with. Apparently I wasn't using my swap right, though, cuz I think I had it set to use a swap file instead of the partition I created. SMDH...
[G1 Android Development] javon27:
Phone.apk with blacklist

Since this pulls some stuff from the CM line, does it come with blacklist in the Phone.apk? The best blacklist app I could find from the market allows the phone to ring twice before it hangs up the call, and depending on how much memory is being used, it'll even ring up to 5 seconds before it'll kick in...
[G1 Android Development] javon27:
The OP states that AndRoot comes preinstalled. Or is that not to your liking?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
-Well that's not a bug, the keyboard, you should have your own script to make it proper by now, try this, unpack it, put it on sdcard, cd modif, chmod 755 *, sh modif

-It does come with AndRoot file manager if you want another then download OI or any other from the market.

-im pretty sure the wifi is working properly
[G1 Android Development] g1user101:
weird, when i used this rom, i got to like 2 days without using the phone alot. just like how you where saying. try different kernel?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
New builds are inc with the nasty EGL bug fixed :)
[G1 Android Development] Dukenukemx:
FUUUUUUU! And I just flashed that new rom today. BTW, I'm giving that kernel another try. Maybe I did need to reset the phone or something.
[G1 Android Development] cityeyes:
Whenever somebody comes here with extreme battery problems I can't help but think that it has to be something wrong with the phone or the way stuff is configured. I have been using this rom for weeks now and always have GPS and 3g on and haven't had a huge problem with it. Screwing around with it, my phone will last from 10:00 am to 9:00 or 10:00 pm without being plugged in and it always has.

Add to that the fact that it's getting more and more stable with each release (Google Maps doesn't even close out due to lack of memory for me any longer!), and I've found myself to be completely pleased with this rom. Thanks Roalex!

That said, maybe you should try recalibrating your battery or even buying a new one. If you've had the same phone for a few years, the battery might be wearing on you and you never caught it until you went to custom firmware. If that doesn't work, try shutting down or uninstalling processes that run in the background. I always remove the News and Weather widget when I flash a new one because it keeps on checking even if I don't use it.
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
Ya if your flashing roms while your battery isn't 100% charged beforehand you won't be getting the full ammount use you could be getting. I always prefer to charge 100% b4 each flash to maximise battery life, never flash if even on 99% battery life let alone anything below that! Bet thats why we have so many battery drain compalints not only on this rom but every other one on any thread.
[G1 Android Development] g1user101:
hes right ^^.

just charge too 100 percent nd wipe battery stats while still plugged in. and use it to it dies and charge again. it will make you phone know the full potenial of the battery
[G1 Android Development] vermaekansh:
are you sure this might be the issue....so refalshing with 100% is going to solve this battery drain issue?
[G1 Android Development] paradix:
Thanks for your reply, I managed the Wifi since my last post, it's ok now!

Also, the addon from ThdDude run well !

For OI, I took it from the market, and it's ok too. I was just wondering how to see the SD card with androot... I'm just a noob on this!

Thanks for your script, i will try it soon!
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
You just have to enable the hidden folder from preferences !
[G1 Android Development] bosna110:
well im glad people are concerned to what im trying to acomplish. i mean my phone isnt even a month old since i had it replaced by tmobiile for free. i mean it just seems weird to me like im usually a xbox360 gamer and with that being said, i dont use my phone much.. well i do but when i do use it i keep track of my battery usage so i dont think that i would have to wait till a 100 percent charge and then wipe battery stats and then flash the newest rom. Hell even when i go to bed. sometime my phone had say like 60 percent battery life left.. i dont touch it for 8 hours even with being on airplane mode and when i wake up my battery has completely drained.. i believe and i mean my true belief is that im on an old radio and spl. and i do the same when flashing new roms.. i always go to the market and use Titanium Backup and remove all the uneeded apps that i dont ever use. with that being said, im still trying to resolve this problem but it keeps lingering around.

[G1 Android Development] slvrarrow:
Are CM6.1 metamorphs useable on this rom?
[G1 Android Development] smashman42:
Get them from the market - don't flash a Gapps package cause the minimum needed is already built into the rom & it might stuff things up
[G1 Android Development] ximmox:
Very simple: That's all there is in those packages.

Everything you are missing can be downloaded from the market, like Gmail, Maps, Youtube etc

If you can't see Gmail for example in the market, try downloading MarketEnabler first.

Good luck. ;)
[G1 Android Development] Sik-1:
so flashed last night, and its either i have the green screen or i have no wifi, i get the green screen with the stock 2707 kernel and wen switching to the pershoot's kernel i lose wifi, smh this never happened on this rom b4 except for the past couple updates, i need to change my sig, but im on a 32b mytouch

Thank very much for the rom...But there is a possibility in the future to fix screen on/off animation like tv screens?

And another question where is the location of the bootanimation,i want to replace the *.zip with another..
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
There is no boot animation so place to data/local. S on/off is not working and I have no idea why.
[G1 Android Development] Yovecio:
And another little question,i want to use swap so i disabled cc and used fr-patch to enable swap but in the terminal it don't work because it says there isn't space in the device why?
[G1 Android Development] river-dragon:
Hi roalex, first of all I'd like to thank you for the time you put in this project, my phone is running really fast now!

Did you have the time to take a look to the couple of bugs I reported a few days ago? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12470308&postcount=704

I just re-flashed today, they still appear, but the OP doesn't mention them.

I'd like to add another little one: if I receive a call it takes three-four seconds before the call screen appears.

Latest Build

Hey all, I flashed the lastest build and the first thing that happened was a Google Talk failed to authenticate login. Hmmm, so now I am unable to download anything from the market. is there a solution to this?

Edit: Well, I went into Settings/Applications/Market and cleared the cache. Reboot and all is good.
