Ok from what I've noticed, COS-DS is hands down the best Gingerbread ROM for the G1.Running 2.3.4 and only having a suddle lag is amazing to me. GingerYoshi's latest *1.4 I belive*is fast, but nothing compared to COS-DS. The benchmark test are appertly hacked for this ROM so it can run in the 500's-700's so id ignore the B/M and see the performance 1st hand. COS-DS has built in apps2ext, apps2sd native, and CM. it has all of the CM features, and isn't a Barebones ROM. idk I've ran all available Gingerbread ROM's, and COS is the best. Handsdown the best. I wouldn't be doing all this if it wasn't Xo the only issue I have is that you can't disable the in call touch UI. I hate it so much and I can't turn it off. And also the Performance settings are kinda all over the place. But other than that its the best. Even under clocked at 480. :3
[G1 Android Development] Litesorrows:
The dailer has no option to disable the in call touch ui. Could I remove the dialer from the phone and push the dailer from other Ginger roms "i.e GingerYoshi*. Or is it impossible.
[G1 Android Development] Litesorrows:
The stock Gingerbread Browser crashes on almost all GB ROM's, and the newer Gmail is a little slower. Even on High end phones. Id just instal Dolphin HD or Dolphin Mini*Mini's beyound fast* as a browser replacement. And you could push the older Gmail from another ROM.
[G1 Android Development] Litesorrows:
If you have move any app to the SD enable in COS Settings and you have your apps being moved to the SD card, and not the *SD EXT* certains apps will crash, not show, lauch, etc. I'd go with the SDEXT, not SD.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
I tried pushing the COS-DS Gallery.apk to my ADS install, and it complained about an incompatible library. Might run into the same thing with phone.apk, might not. There's one sure way to find out. Back up the current one and try pushing one from another ROM.

I like the newer COS-DS phone dialer etc., although I have noticed a couple of small issues (such as the "double-tap to unlock" showing up when it's already still unlocked). Small issues, nothing major.

I don't trust benchmark apps any farther than I can throw them either. I think I said above that it was interesting how some ROMs performed better in perception and worse in the benchmarks. That's one reason why when COS started getting scores around 370 (when other ROMs that worked flawlessly -- though they weren't Gingerbread -- had far lower scores) that I started looking around elsewhere. I only recently actually decided on one to try long term. Plus, benchmarks say nothing of stability. I got tired of my phone rebooting on its own, so I downgraded, but stayed with COS. But now it's been so long since there's been an update here (and Roalex DOES deserve a break, don't misunderstand me) that I'm hanging around ready to try the next two or three versions but I think I found a more stable gingerbread in ADS. Unfortunate that it uses a less useful Gallery3D and less pretty phone dialer and such.

I wish I could go back, through ALL the versions of every ROM I've ever tried, and pull the little bits here and there from each one that I loved in that ROM better than anywhere else. Unfortunately, bits from Cupcake usually aren't compatible with bits from Eclair et al. There were some truly useful hacks in a few of the phone.apk's and lockscreens and such that I dearly missed when they were removed.
[G1 Android Development] Sheist!:
Someone send out for Roalex. A month on vacation? And with all that European debt and hardship, must be nice! Time to drag him back from wherever to get crackin' on some more G1 optimizin'!

I am stable on the 7/11 but found only crashes on the 7/18, and I miss the regular updates.

[G1 Android Development] ellisbodds:
Hi, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to flashing different ROMs, how would I get from my current ROM (in sig) to this one? And I assume I would lose all of my apps etc. and anything saved on the phone's internal storage?

Also, does anyone know how this compares in speed to Froyo by Laszlo?

Cheers
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
This is how do, when I flash another rom (and this is quite often;))

- Save all user apps and data using TitaniumBackup (or something comparable)

- I have a copy of TitaniumBackup.apk on /sdcard

- Reboot to recovery and do a nand backup (makes it easy to switch back)

- Wipe all

- Use Ohsaka's SuperWipe

- Reboot to recovery

- Flash this rom

- Flash gapps

- Reboot system (1st boot will last longer than normal)

- Start terminal

- Type 'su' and confirm superuser

- Type 'pm install /sdcard/TitaniumBackup.apk'

- Quit terminal and start TitaniumBackup to restore all your user apps/data

This will take a while depending on the amount of your user apps and data,

but you'll have your enviroment back as you were used to.

Concerning speed I'd say test on your own.

If you don't like it, remember you have a nandroid backup of you old rom, so there's no risk:D
[G1 Android Development] ellisbodds:
Thanks for the detailed explanation, will do that now. :)

Hi guys, my phone losses reception after using my device and won't get it back until I restart. This is troublesome because it will go down and I will have messages and missed calls after I restart. Is this a problem with the rom or radio or what?

My radio is 2.22.27.08 and my hboot is 1.33.0013d

HTC Dream 32B.

Please tell me if I should update my radio and hboot and where to find the newer ones if there are any

Seriously, let's call the Romanian Army for help with the search. ;)

Looks like roalex left us.
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
Chill guys, roalex is on vacation and he might have other priorities. After all, he is a normal human being just like all of us :p

He is doing this in his spare time, all the sources are in github if you want to help out with the development :)

Cheers
[G1 Android Development] Sheist!:
5 weeks vacation is not a "normal human being". What kind of work gives that kind of benefit?! I am in the wrong line of work.

And please don't suggest "do it yourself" with regards to development.

Geez...
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
Look, all the development done here in XDA is done voluntarily, our aging devices would not even go pass android 1.6 if there were no volunteers willing to contribute in the first place.

if he indeed left the ROM, he does not owe anything to all of us. Please be considerate.
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
You asked once for roalex to update, you ask twice, you ask....

Remember, some people have to earn their money with very hard jobs.

So sometimes it might be absolutely normal to make a longer break.

The work of the devs here is precious for us and our devices.

If you can't await it, what are you waiting for?

Is something not working correctly?

Do you miss something?

Do you have a problem with the current version?

Let's help to make the roms better instead of bugging the devs;)

Google services went corrupt

Out of nowhere Google Services stop working:

I got FC's regarding vending service, so market does not start

GTalk does not work (GTalk Services window is empty with only the "send heardbeat to server")

"Dev Tools" FCing when I tip on "Google Login Service"

"running services" in settings ->software/apps shows "Google Services" with "0 process, restarting..."

My signal bars are staying grey, don't get green

Because I have no idea how to repair this, I'll try to flash current image over the running one before I try a full wipe. But I'm open for suggegtions! :eek:

"fix_permissions" and cleaning caches didn't help though.

PS: It looks like only a full wipe will fix it, reflash didn't work. :/

PPS: I hope the playback glitches while playing music from sdcard will be addressed after roalex return. This is surely the old problem from CM4 or 5 times.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Roalex is NOT a normal human being. He is an Android God!

But seriously... nah, I know quite a few people, for instance where I currently work, that save up their annual leave until they have upward of 90 days. It's not unusual, in fact most places of business (outside of maybe retail) allow their employees to accrue time off in a "bank" of sorts and use several weeks at a time. And besides, who says he's taking a vacation from his real job? He may just have priorities there that prevent his working on the ROM.

I agree that patience is best, but for those who need an addiction fix, try AndDiSa out.

Hi guys,

i am new to this rom and its horrible slow on diffrent aps, for example facebook app needs up to 3 min to run.. and gives around 5 FC's

my phone is a sapphire PVT 32b

HBOOT 1.33.0013d

Radio 2.22.27.08

thx for help!

(Rom used before this one Super D)
[G1 Android Development] ellisbodds:
I've used both Super D and COD-DS, and Super D is a lot faster - it's what I'm using now. I didn't find COS-DS to be that slow though - certainly not 3 minutes to load the Facebook app.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
You mean Donut, a lighter, less-loaded, version of Android with less stuff going on within it is faster than Gingerbread, a more loaded, busier, more capable ROM??? Say it ain't so!!! :p;):rolleyes:

It's like comparing Windows 98 and Windows 7. Okay, more like comparing Win2K with Win7. There's just a lot more going on in the background with the newer ROM. More capabilities means more things to do.
[G1 Android Development] lovevip1102:
I can not change the font on Cos-DS :(
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
I am going to stay with roalex and COS-ds. I miss the COS-settings in EZGingerbread and find that other Gingerbread builds are not as stable. I have no problem waiting for a good build from roalex when he gets back.
[G1 Android Development] ellisbodds:
Well, of course it's to be expected, but I wanted to try the two versions out first before making up mymind which one to use. I'm just going to stick with Donut right now until I upgrade to a more powerful phone that's capable of running Gingerbread whilst maintaining speed and stability.
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
If you look at https://github.com/roalex you can see that roalex is still working on this rom.
[G1 Android Development] thegtfusion:
well I can't wait for the update.. I am experimenting with all available gb roms for g1, looking which one is the fastest and most stable.. the 18/7 build was a little buggy for me.. what are your settings if its fast on ur phone? (if u use cos-ds)

regards,

thegtfusion
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
I have all the check boxes unchecked in cos setting performance. All the rest is set to defaults. No swap partition. T-Mobile mytouch 3g.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Ah, don't blame ya there a bit. Personally, I wouldn't mind having the speed of Donut back but I'm afraid of what I might have become dependent upon that Donut won't have :)

And COS was a pretty decent ROM for my usage. I found quite a few very stable versions, but there were also a few that really hosed it, and even sometimes one version would be stable one time but not another. I can only assume it was something I was doing, but I never did have time to get scientific and troubleshoot it properly. Then I'd forget things, have to reflash or something and expect one set of settings and discover I had another, etc.

I do think I'll continue trying out new releases, but EZGB has been almost flaw-free on my phone. I think I've had two random reboots in the past, what, month and a half or so, where with COS they were on the order of at least once a week, if not once every 2 or 3 days. One day I had two or three in a row, but that was a LONG time ago. Had to be something I was doing, though. Not too many other people mentioned problems like I saw.
[G1 Android Development] thegtfusion:
Okay and do you have to wait long for an app to open?
[G1 Android Development] ellisbodds:
Yeah, luckily there's not too much that I miss from Gingerbread, except the keyboard. That on-screen keyboard is awesome from Gingerbread, I really like it. At least I have the physical keyboard for when I want to type longer things.

Anyway, I'll think I'll just stick with Donut until I get a new phone.
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
NO

I did have problems with the 3.x Android Market last night. So I downloaded the latest Android Market I could find (3.1.3). Can be found at http://phandroid.com/2011/08/24/download-the-latest-android-market-update-and-install-it-manually/. That did fix my Market problem.

This rom is probably the best out there it gives me a lot of

internal memory and is fast....how come this rom makes so much

Internal memory available compared to other roms
[G1 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Or Windows Vista to Windows 7?

Probably because he doesn't include all the apps/junk that some ROMs have.

You could also try GRP's CM7.1 port here.
[G1 Android Development] thegtfusion:
Yea GREENROMPROJECT CM7.1D/S is awesome. Fastest GB rom I've used! I get around 40MB free ram!
[G1 Android Development] Sheist!:
The 7/18 is buggy for me. Keeps crashing my phone, several times a day, every day. It will crash trying to get through a run of fix_permissions in terminal, but it sometimes can get through it, but very slowly; other times just closing keyboard; other times, doing nothing and for no reason other than "time for another crash reboot...". Even crashed once just clicking the green android after a fresh setup! Frustrating. I've also noticed bad browser performance, where it seems if it is open more than a few seconds, it starts to get stuck in the mud.

I've given up on it and rolled back to 7/11 (again) where it doesn't crash at all, ever. The farmatito kernel doesn't help with this, so I am convinced it is the 7/18, but no clue why. Every time I roll back to the 7/11, it works fine for me... until I get the itch to try the latest "one more time".

I've tried straight ROM update flashes (uninstalling market updates as noted), then attempted many shots at fastboot erase system -w, with flash Ohsaka and power down, with all 3 wipes in Amon Ra, plus with clean install and even tried NO apps installed yet, and the thing crashed at first register at one point! That makes it pretty clear it isn't any app I am using. This may not be the experience of everyone on this build, but it is a consistent issue for me on my phone with this release only.

Lookin' forward to the new release! I've yet to see a compelling reason to try another non-COS GB rom (props to roalex!) based on what I can find in XDA, and though I like Magpie GB, it does lack some must-have features that are in COS-DS.
[G1 Android Development] thegtfusion:
Yea I totally agree about the 18/7.. But you can try GRP cm7.1. Trust me it's really fast ;)
[G1 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I had HORRID issues with the 7/18 build, even with a fresh wipe and install. Couldn't figure out why.
[G1 Android Development] Sheist!:
The Gmail count notifier (Launcher Pro dock) is also broken beyond the 7/11 build. Works fine up to and including the 7/11.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
I'd try it if it had native Apps2SD-ext and didn't rely on an app that basically just runs a script anyway.
[G1 Android Development] Sheist!:
Right. Besides, with MTD partition map, the size of system and data isn't the problem, but losing native Apps2SDext is a serious step back. I.e COS-DS still leads, up to 7/11/11 release. :)
[G1 Android Development] mybecks:
What are the recommended settings for partitioning my sd card?

BR,

mybecks
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
"SWAP: 128?" hell, no! from what i know, COS-DS does not use swap. but you may let there a 32 ( max 64 ) mb swap partition in case you will want to use another rom or something.

Alright Thanks for your answer. Now I going to start partitioning my sd-card. :)

How come all these custom roms become freakish slow and sluggish after a while. I got app2ext, lots of space & memory left (no matter if autokiller is used) but phone is just so slow compared to when just flashed? seems you always have to wipe and flash new versions too keep it smooth.... so frustrating....:mad: aaarggg what to do? is this android in a nutshell or a rom issue?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
because you are running apps that are running more in the background than you think (syncing/checking location/polling updates/ect)?

(Uninstall any services you don't need.. realize some of the lattest and greatest gapps like maps use more ram than the older versions.. so while the new one works... if you are running many other things it may not be the best choice)

or because while doing something some permissions or dalvik-cache files got confused?

(this second one is fixed by running fix_permissions, then clearing dalvik-cache in recovery)

really people have these problems on stock roms as well.. just less so without the ext to install more programs onto.
[G1 Android Development] Galaxen:
Cleaning up in progress.. got rid of few services that I think I can do without.. maps which runs all the time I cannot do without. Gonna clear cache and see if I can notice any difference.. although I dont know if it will be as smooth a freshly flashed rom but worth a try. A good fashioned windows feeling over my phone :rolleyes:

Guess the magic should retire soon.... cant live forever I guess. Thx Ez.

If you disable "Use WIFI for Location services" (and leave only GPS), Maps service will vanish, 'cause it will stop recording the location of Access Points near you. My Dream has more free RAM and one less service running now :D

I had that same problem. Where do I do that? I can't seem to find the option to do that or to sign out of Latitude. Got two Maps services always running.

[G1 Android Development] Sheist!:
Battery drain and "use wireless networks" for location

I am beginning to suspect this is the major culprit in battery drain. To test this, I disabled "use wireless networks" in Location and Security Settings (GPS is off already) and since I already do NOT have Maps installed, nothing to worry about there. I've been unplugged for 2 hours and still sitting at 100% battery. Normally, it drops 1 point every few minutes or less.

To further comment, I noticed that while I had my SIM removed, I found excellent battery life even with WIFI left on and connected. Seems it was almost like just another service and battery lasted fine, and I expected connected WIFI to just kill it in hours, and it didn't happen.

So maybe I can live without the "use wireless networks" (and I also disabled the mock locations checkbox just in case) and maybe my battery life will be excellent long term. I am going to see how it does, but so far it is looking tremendous.
[G1 Android Development] Galaxen:
Tried this but to no help.. sadly maps still runs in background.
[G1 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I'm using Maps 5.10.0. There doesn't seem to be a settings menu for some reason, as if Google removed it.
[G1 Android Development] :
Menu/Settings/Security & location/Use wireless networks - Uncheck this and also Share with google (May be slightly different as I'm currently stuck on stock, long story)
[G1 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I press Menu, and I get Search, Directions, My Places, Clear Map, Join Latitude, and More, and under More, there's Labs, Cache Settings, Help; Terms, Privacy & Notices; and About. No "Settings" option, I think because it's the Ownhere mod.

Do it from your launcher, not from Maps.
