Can't help until we know what the problem is!

And oops, didn't mean to Thanks that above.... shouldn't respond to posts first thing after waking up... I'll learn one day. :D

Speaking of problems, I tried my overnight leave-it-off-the-charger thing again. Was surprised to find it down to 22% in only a little over 6 hours. Then I noticed I left debugging enabled. D'OH! Will try again tonight. Probably with today's ROM release (wow, so often).

Here's the latest screencaps showing basically that NOTHING'S going on except Android OS, and that it's running 99%:

Only thing I can figure is I left ADB running! Nothing else seems to be running, and this was after a fresh reboot on A/C power, and once it was up, I put the phone down until my alarms went off (those three spots at the end with the screen on :) ) this morning.

Missing market / gapps after wipe and flash (03232011-full)

Same problem here. Actually the setup poped up but it crashed and after the second time through I get a working phone but no market or other gapps.

Yes I am sure I flashed the -full- version not the stock or even light.
[G1 Android Development] DevilofanAngel:
Problem Update...

Thanks for the reply Sada. When you were posting your reply, I was already backing up my sdcard & preparing to re-format & re-partition my sdcard. So far, it's been booting & rebooting fine. Glitch is, ROM isn't reading my ext4 partition. I can access sdext via root explorer, but it's a no show in Ti Back up & the couple of remount sdext scripts I was able to find, have been ineffective. But everything else works like a charm. I've even been able to flash ThdDude's theme with no issues. Reads the swap partition just fine.

This is quite annoying...trying it a 3rd time & then I'm officially stumped.
[G1 Android Development] dadosmi:
Sorry guys I have a 2GB SD card so I would like to install the full-ds signed.zip;

says you need a system partition with 88 mb? but how do I do?

because they are not very practical to partition the sd ......:p
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
if you don't know how to make it bigger or small then you have a 90 mb system partition, pretty much :)
[G1 Android Development] dadosmi:
thanks, but I just wanted to know how to partition my sd best for this rom!!

:p
[G1 Android Development] feisty_noodle:
Thanks for a great ROM!

I've been using it as a daily driver on my 32A Sapphire and am quite happy.

I also have a question for anyone with the Google Buzz (widget) installed:

does it work for you?

I keep getting "Buzz posting failed" and cannot figure out whether it is the widget or a temporary glitch with the service.
[G1 Android Development] almostthere:
Thanks for the latest update Roalex...will flash it later but mind if you post a changelog in the hub or something?
[G1 Android Development] arohacs:
Same as for any other ROM in my experience.
[G1 Android Development] sada23:
If ext4 does not work, Try creating a ext3 and see if that works.
[G1 Android Development] dadosmi:
ok, as I had before so-ds, sd-ext does not work for me why?
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
You gotta enable sd-ext in the COS-DS settings menu, then reboot.
[G1 Android Development] dadosmi:
With tonight and then try to say !!!!!

:D
[G1 Android Development] wjsturgis3:
I guess it depends on your phone. I have a 32A Magic and no sd partitions (all fat 32). For a 32B maybe you need a partition, normal is EXT 3/4 of 512MB & 96 MB for swap. I don't know cause I don't use partitions.
[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
Agreed. I have been using Yoshi Ginger until today, and that had 50% CC. Worked fine, the only thing was that it was still too eager to kill apps in the background, despite having more than enough free RAM.

But back when I used swap (partition or file) I had only problems, and the phone was as slow as it gets. Absolutely unusable (sometimes I had to wait for minutes for it to react!). So I'm not so keen on using swap. When I think about it I also never had good experiences with swap on my PC, either. Regardless of OS.

What does bug me with Yoshi and COS is that it seems to consume incredible amounts of power. I have been charging my phone via USB for 4 hours now, and have gotten from 64 to 67%. Turn it off, and it will charge almost in an instant. Often, USB isn't even enough to keep the charge (I am always using tethering though... wireless or USB). And I get max 2-3 hours out of the battery. Perhaps it is almost dead though, but why the charging problems? I did reset the battery stats when I switched to Yoshi...
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Its just you !

trust me ;)

Look a few pages back, there are people, including me with more then 48 Hours since the last unplug.
[G1 Android Development] creezalird:
I'm hoping to try this rom after reading almost every threads about other GB rom.

So far I want to know what is included in the light version of this rom?

I like the clean AOSP ones, but also with some notification power widget and cmsettings.

Or the stock version is good enough with all the things I've mentioned above?

thanx in advance
[G1 Android Development] cityeyes:
Looks like you'll be wanting the Light version of the rom. I assume (but don't quote me) that the AOSP ones are pretty much stock, but optimized with CM code.

The light version has all of the extra CM stuff, but not a massive amount more. It has a few apps that you can't get on the market, but they're easy enough to uninstall if you have Titanium Backup or equivalent.
[G1 Android Development] creezalird:
Owh, thanks for the infos..I'll try myself maybe tonight if I have the time. :D
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
I've been using 26% compcache (max it'll allow) as well as a -- I think 64MB -- swap partition, and my phone's working pretty good as far as usability goes. I haven't noticed apps not working aside from live wallpapers and I assume that's just a GB thing. IDK though, TBH.

Might also want to check your charger. First, I'm sure you know they're not all the same. Some allow only 500 mA charge rate, some allow 700, 750, 1000, and few offer more. The higher the charge rate (output mA, basically) the faster it will charge. That said, if you're using the one that came with the phone, you should get decent charge.

I have a cheapie USB-output car charger I bought at Wal*Mart that has two kinds of USB connectors on the cable and somewhere in the cable it has shorted out. Before I discovered it was shorted, I noticed sometimes it would charge quickly and others it would take for EVAR, sometimes not even really charging at all. Might want to try charging other devices with that cable if you can, and see what kind of charge rate you get then.

But FWIW, I notice too that sometimes the charge is quicker with the device either off, in recovery, or rebooting. I had chalked it up to illusion. Even then, I would begin suspecting your battery is dying. Is it by chance beginning to bulge outward? Mine and my father-in-law's batteries both did this and my original battery only lasts about an hour in even the best of conditions. Been so long since I charged it, though, I don't remember if the charge rate was slower as well or not.

HIH.
[G1 Android Development] g1user101:
i would really love for 48 hours! i only go like a day to go. but thts better than most other roms.

im on mytouch 1.2. how do i get it to be tht good!? and wats the best performance settings? ha
[G1 Android Development] g1user101:
thanks.. well, umm i have suggestions for this rom Roelex.

1. umm when you press something, change it to green to fit the gingerbread.

2. use cm's file manager as a stock file manager.

3. fix lwp? it doesnt even load the wallpapers. when i press the wp, it stays black.

4. fix the battery percentage? shows up half of batt bar, and the full numbers.

just suggestions. if you choose not to use them its ok. haha thanks for the rom!
[G1 Android Development] g1user101:
nice, ill be using these settings. ima be up to date with this rom. DAILY DRIVER! ha.
[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
Might have to set up a swap partition again. :-/

Turning off USB debugging sounds like a good idea, thanks!

lol!

Dithering slowed my phone down a lot, not sure if that is still valid for Gingerbread, but I always just have it off.

Noticed another thing: I downloaded the full version from the 23rd, and the MD5 is correct, but the file is just 68 MB or so and the ROM doesn't include any Google apps.

It's not a problem to flash it with a newer version _with_ the Google apps, is it?
[G1 Android Development] Paul Shirley:
JIT makes a massive difference to Browser performance, changing it from a sluggish, stalling beast to a smooth interactive experience. If spending large amounts of time browsing the web you want JIT turned on.

Also remember that when working properly JIT is meant to reduce power consumption. Don't confuse lack of obvious speed improvement with lack of improvement, what's really happening is most apps cant display noticeably quicker but can use less CPU cycles for the same interactions.

The downside is higher RAM use. And if you constantly switch apps/activities or use an unlucky set of apps you'll pay more in overhead than you save. My guess is very few users will see that, I know when I fire up the browser I'm running it for 10's of minutes, most other apps aren't running long enough to suck much power.

So try disabling JIT, but ignore the performance effects and concentrate on measuring battery life alone. You may be surprised.
[G1 Android Development] bosna110:
well ok, i am going to say sorry in advance if i dont make any sense but i will try my hardest to go into the best detail my problem. Ok, here we go

well after not developing my ROM (AMS) anymore, i had a defected digitizer on my g1 and had to get it replaced, ok well since about like 2 maybe 3 weeks ago, I have ordered my new g1 and it came in the mail 5 days later. and i swapped the sd card and everything else to my new g1, and booted it, logged in and everything worked fine. well then i wanted to root my G1 and then that went good and now i want to get the newest spl and the radio. I am an experimental guy.. by all means, i try stuff without refusal. i have a laptop (which i am using to write this message on) and a computer (which has windows xp SP3 media center edition) well i have gotten as far as installing the Androidsdk, eclipse, and whatever else i am forgetting to say. and well when i have downloaded the radio and spl images to flash over fastboot, my command prompt wont recognize it. i tried to re-install the USB drivers and it installed fine. well the only way the adb devices would recognize my phone was when my phone was on normally. when i turn it on to fastboot mode, itll ***** at me and not want to recognize it. i have used linux before to develop buy neither my laptop or my computer's chipset is supported therefore i cant develop anymore until i can get a custom made computer that i will make only for developing. well hopefully i can get some help. i know i am kind of late to reply to the forums' comments but i guess i have no excuse lol. umm if you can help me out, i will really owe you guys. thank you again and i really do want to give you the 5 or 10 minutes of you're life back by reading this long pain in the rat's asses. lol thanks again
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
USB Debugging enabled? Need it enabled for ADB to work. Fastboot should work without it though, if you have the correct drivers from the SDK. Perhaps uninstall the device and manually point it to the SDK driver location and see if that helps with the fastboot, but my bet's on USB debugging for the ADB bit.

HIH.

On another note, rom from 22 or 23 March (forget which one I had) was not as easy on the battery as previous version. Over 10% per hour with EVERYTHING turned off. Android OS taking like 90% of battery. Tried reverting to 3-18 (only NAND I had on the phone) and it's just as bad. Will step back through the versions one by one till I find the good one. If I don't find it, I'll chalk it up to a service running when it oughtn't. Will keep posted.
[G1 Android Development] bosna110:
yes, i have debigging on.. i always do. no matter what. im also on gtalk.. if want to talk, please send me a request.. bosna110@gmail.com
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
So, you can't use fastboot on linux on your G1, thats what your saying ?

Maybe you forgot about the usb permissions, like he did.
[G1 Android Development] bosna110:
if you haven't understood, i am using a windows xp machine. 32bit. linux are not able to support both my laptop and my computer so i am forced to use windows.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Uh just update the USB drivers either with the latest from the SDK or an older, you need drivers for fastboot mode. Doubt xp finds them right unless you update what ever he find. Reboot it in fastboot mode, plug it in and wait, look in device manager at what he found, right click, choose update driver, go where sdk is installl, pick the folder with the usb drivers and let it work, it should be fine.
[G1 Android Development] bosna110:
roalex, im sorry im having trouble understanding what you are trying to say.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
Are you using Win 64bit ?

Later Edit: sorry, read next the other posts in which you say that you`re using 32bit. i had this problem with 64bit.

Are you using the original USB cable ?

on your phone, on "top" command appears adbd process ?
[G1 Android Development] bosna110:
windows xp media center edition SP3 32bit
[G1 Android Development] bosna110:
well looks like nobodyies replying, time for an 8 hour power nap and then continue talking and see if we can come up with a solution with this darn problem
[G1 Android Development] DevilofanAngel:
Problem Update...

Ok, Sada I truly appreciate the support. The 3rd & 3/4 time was the charm. Both ext3 & ext4 work, so leaving it ext4 for now. Had the asec temp file blocking my access everytime I did a batch restore. Don't know exactly which app it was that caused it, but I deleted it & ran the fix perms before using any app & then rebooted. Seems to cure my issue. Ran it through some experiments. Tried the dc2sdext bind...RETARDED!!! For me, anyway. Tried the data2sdext, also quite RETARDED!!! It made my phone low crawl with a 65lb rucksack in level 4 MOPP gear! :rolleyes:

It was great for my Dream on CM6.1, but on this ROM it's just tortuous & masochistic.

I haven't reinstituted a2sdext yet, still have a few concerns... However, I've noticed that if I restore most of the apps I had installed at the very 1st insufficient storage/low storage warning, upon reboot, it will go back to being stuck at the 'Android' boot screen. Everytime. Take into consideration that I'm utilizing Firerat's Custom MTD scripts set @90 2 with the 14mb ram hack. My max internal storage according to Ti Backup is 123mb & 118mb is showing in Storage in the Settings menu. That being said, my low storage warning will pop up as soon as I drop below 12.3mb available storage, has been like clockwork & everytime I reboot with the low storage warning, I have boot issues.

I haven't reinstituted a2sdext yet, because it's what gave me this headache in the 1st place, so it seems. For me, when I first enabled it, I didn't have very many apps restored or installed so it only elected to move about 4-5 apps. As I began to appreciate the extra space, adding more apps, nothing else really moved. I have 640mb ext4 partition, if the a2sdext is working like it's suppose to, I shouldn't have any storage issues, should I?

At the time of my insufficient storage/low storage warning, I had at least 572mb available on my sdext. I haven't tried Firerat's script on this ROM, because I saw that Roalex advised against it. But I read that someone tried it, I think it was Shadow & he didn't report any issues. Will have to recheck/reaffirm that... But Firerat's script allows for a semi-automatic move. You run script whenever you're getting close to the threshhold & pick which apps to move, then it does the rest.

I sent a pm to Roalex, confirming that when enabled, a2sdext is suppose to be automatic.

Are you using a2sdext?

The link to the light version is wrong

http://www.multiupload.com/6P15MA889G

points to COS-DS-03222011-light-signed.zip instead 03232011 version.
[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
I also don't get the JIT hate. Have deactivated it now, and the phone feels more sluggish (I could use my phones for days without restarting with JIT activated, been using it since 2.2. What did make my phone really sluggish was swap... both as partition and file). Deactivate that, activate CompCache, and my phone sped up nicely, without having to reboot frequently. Though I did have some crashes under 2.2, perhaps that was related, but I didn't test. Gingerbread has been nearly rock solid so far, despite CompCache and JIT.

Btw., the file you download when downloading the current full version downloads "COS-DS-03232011-full-signed.zip", but the file is only 67.3 MB and lacks Gapps. Which is a big issue for me because I can't get them in the market, I can't find it without trickery, and when I find it then it doesn't let me install, saying that the provider won't let me.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Both light and full contain all non downloadable google applications, as stated in the first post, ofc the stock...is stock, clean!

Its not, just became 23 after the build, that version just happens to be made first by my bot.

any plans on having this rom as odex in the near future?
[G1 Android Development] bosna110:
no, i am not using original USB cable, because they are really all the same. I dont know why i should be using the original one. Um. i just dont know why its giving me all this grief. because ever since i tried out COS my phone has been slow because of the radio and the spl.... i dont know how else to fix it.
[G1 Android Development] arohacs:
I've only gotten stuck at the boot screen after either a bad flash (?) or because I tried to flash a gapps zip after ROM.

After the 14mb RAM hack, my opinion is that the MTD script is no longer necessary *unless* you tweak it to allow more system room based on the newly available 14mb (which sort of defeats the purpose IMHO). At defaults, the MTD mod forces /data/local/tmp to fit inside the 2mb which is ungood. This, in my experiences, caused my mass-apk install script to fail because I wasn't dumping /data/local/tmp after every install (which I should not have to do but will add that check to the script). This could theoretically prevent the installation of an apk that is over 2mb in size (and did for me).

I wonder why /data/local/tmp can't reside on the sdcard - perhaps because of slower cards that most people used at the time that would bork installs?

Moving that directory to SD might resolve the 'low space'/MTD issues.

Relating to your exact issue: I was getting low memory errors with over half of my ext4 partition available. It turns out that this was related to available system memory, not sdext - the message is sort of a red herring. Getting rid of the MTD (removing text files from root of SD, wipe, reflash did the trick) got rid of all low space errors. I have installed about 65 apps to the sd-ext and the phone has not slowed down.

regarding apps2sdext, I found that setting location to internal is the sweet spot. Otherwise, the apps will be installed to fat on sd if you set location to external.

Wiping, flashing the rom, then the apps2sdext-legacy zip, then proper COS settings after reboot seemed to work for me. I can't remember if I had to apply the ddb myself. If you need to do that, get firerat's all-in-one script and run that option: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=679572

have battery drain issue on 2303 build
[G1 Android Development] Effdee:
you obviously have no clue what your talking about

the 14mb ram hack, as you call it, has sod all to do with the mtd partitions

and I have no idea why you are twittering on about data being 2mb when the point of cmtd is to increase the size of data , maybe you just screwed up cmtd because you don't understand what it does
[G1 Android Development] bosna110:

[G1 Android Development] Effdee:
install a os that doesn't suck and blow at the same time

yes I did read that you claim linux is not compatible with your laptop and pc

and I do not believe it

but anyway install linux on a virtual machine like virtualbox

use Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10
[G1 Android Development] bosna110:
ok, well i did use virtualbox before.. and i totally forgot i can do that. oh well. i am going to do that right now.. will report back when i have downloaded VB and ubuntu 10.10 so keep refreshing this forum every minute haha. i have a fast internet connection right now i guess

ok both are downloaded and now to install. i got the 11.04 ubuntu. hopefully they will work without a problem will report back when ubuntu is up and running

Apps shutting down

I'm running this ROM, quite pleased with it but a lot of my apps shut down in mid use and I'm not receiving texts anymore. Anyone got any ideas? I have CoPilot and it's a real pain in the arse to get it running, but a lot of my other apps will start up, run for a few seconds and then my G1 goes back to the homescreen...
[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
Oh ok. That sucks though cause in Malaysia it seems like the Google apps are non-downloadable, period (at least GMail e.g.). Luckily I've found an old APK somewhere on XDA.

Still having battery issues, to me it hints at Gingerbread, but then again I'm the only one with this issue and I have wiped, wiped again, superwiped, ... How can it be that charging takes forever when the phone is on (fresh after reboot it's a bit faster perhaps), but happens almost in an "instant" when it is off? Sounds like something is draining the battery, but I don't know what cause the CPU is idling away at 122 MHz or so.

Furthermore I have had some weird issues with some elements on the screen not showing (including e.g. the shutdown menu thing...). That was solved by giving it a bit of swap in addition to CC though. Or might that be this purge bitmap option?
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
11.04 is a little bit too beta for my taste. as for the usb cable, can you power a mobile hdd with yours? not all cables are the same. i don`t know if the impedance is different but ... just trust me. are not all the same. at least, does yours have the little coil near end of cable?
[G1 Android Development] creezalird:
From my experience, GB rom is quite taxing in ROM usages, thus reducing the possibility to run large apps such as copilot.

Try other Froyo rom, as I can run copilot flawlessly in Froyo.:)
[G1 Android Development] creezalird:
Keep a copy of Gmail or backup of apps using Titanium Backup can help you in future. I'm also keeping copies of APKs (before I go back to Malaysia :D)

For battery, I assumed u've already try to calibrate it. right?If the problem persists, try change the kernel

Swap is consuming more power than CC ( but both are actually )
[G1 Android Development] azrash:
eh bro takda hal, if in malaysia also no problem, for any countries that cant get certain apps from US market, install Market Access and you should be okay.

Market Access emulates other countries network such as t-mobile usa etc so that you'll gain access to the respective country's market and download the apps
