I have 1 GB card. What size should the swap be?

Also with firerats AIO patch, what swappiness is advised!
[G1 Android Development] almostthere:
64Mb max recommended. More then that is excess
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
I have 144Mb linux swap and 45% swapiness, it may be to big of a swap file but am lazy to re-size it:p

25-28 is what I have for free mem most of the time, up & down from 15Mb-30Mb

its not some files you can mess with in order to add/remove languages. Its like 3 MB diff form a standard build (either pack) and one with only 2 languages.
[G1 Android Development] prusokas:
Roalex thank you for this update specially for the lithuanian keyboard and ofcorse for other stuff.Downloading it now ;)

I am using this rom few hours and i have to say it runs wery well , i just recommend to change launcher to launcher pro or at least to zeam launcher 3.0 with them home screen is much smoother and faster.And battery life is excellent.

USB Accesorry support - what that means?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Google: "android usb accessory"

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/accessory.html

Mostly for hardware hackers out there to use their [relatively] cheap G1 as the brain of some external hardware creation.

Well until you find such an accessory out on the market I'm assuming for developer use.
[G1 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I thought that would have something to do with external keyboards, maybe.
[G1 Android Development] ehb224:
I question the advisability of adding the USB accessory support to a dream/sapphire rom. I can see where this is potentially a useful feature for tablet use (which also explains why it is part ot 3.1 and backported to 2.3.4 since many of the better tablets out there that could potentially benefit from usb accessories are running gingerbread and honeycomb) but, other than for a hardware hacker. it is just bloat in the rom.

Just my 2 cents.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Could I guess make a hardware keyboard with an android input medthod to use the accessory interface.. but this is not going to work with an off the shelf keyboard.. (you need something more like a keyboard dock with externel battery)

A generic camera interface+externel charger seems a more interesting idea to me however.

Well how large is the new library in framework? Is that seem worth making a custom rom more hacker friendly.. If you don't use it delete it, but remember most devs are hackers.
[G1 Android Development] vermaekansh:
yesterday i flash the 27date build and i found that all the app i am installing all are getting installed onto my internal memory not on my external memory.

although i an checked the allow moving app option in COS settings..

is there anything else i need to take care of.

i have ext partition 4..

96mb Swap

512 EXT4

rest FAT32.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
In addition to checking "Allow Moving App", you also have to select the default install location.

Settings -> Applications -> Preferred install location -> sd-extension

This is one of the settings that seems to consistently be changed back to "let the system decide" every time I update my phone. Other settings seem to always stay at whatever I put them to, like my CPU settings and JIT being disabled. Not sure why that is.

I also am not sure why this setting and the "allow moving" setting are always in two different menus. Seems to me they should be together. Wonder if that would be a relatively simple change to make...

Music player and albums

I have a prob with the (stock) music player or with the indexer or they with me. ;) Atm I'm a little bit hopeless I tried so much things on my PC with the music files... and don't know where's the right place to ask, so I'll try it here first.

My problem is: most of my "new" music files are shown as distinct albums as well! :(

I'm quite confident that my used ID3 tag program(s) are not the problem, can't say it for sure of course... The problem may exist for me quite some time, but it didn't change my music often on my sdcard.

Does anyone have an idea what I can try (except of other ID3-Tag programs)? Is my music library db corrupt? Where is it that I can delete it? What if they are still not grouped to the same album?

Usually I put the ripped mp3 files of a CD into a folder on the sdcard without a playlist file. The names are like "001_artist - title.mp3" with meaningful ID3v1 and v2.3 (UTF-16) tags (title, artist, album, year, track number, comment, cover logo).

In the past tracks with same album title where grouped as "one" album in the music player, now I have x-times album xyz with only one title abc-def in it (regardless if it's in one folder or mixed with others).

And now something interesting: I have the same prob with my "new" Motorola Milestone with a CM7-based ROM. But as CM7 isn't oficially supported for the G1 and Milestone I guess they wouldn't listen to me...

Under some wired mp3 config I do get new titles grouped as one album, but it's not reproductive.

gps problem

I have a strange behaviour of gps on my 32a: agps data is ok, less than 4 days old, I start gps status and it took some seconds to have a fix, so gps status shows the position, but still 0 satellites are shown as connected. After a long time, let's say a minute, I have many satellites shown as connected and the bars are green.

If using a gps navigation system, this strange behaviour turns in an initial fix that shows my position but immediately after it informs me that there's no signal and I have to wait so long to be able to navigate again.

I have a logcat but there are not so much infos for gps:

D/GpsLocationProvider( 134): set_capabilities_callback: 6

other gps infos are only for gpsstatus app.

Can I be more useful to help you debug? I have seen many people complaining about gps on this device.
[G1 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I've had issues with any GPS navigation app just closing out of the blue, usually while tracking my route. Does it with iGo myWay and Google Maps. I'll have to figure out how to logcat it.
[G1 Android Development] drbobb:
On my phone attempting to use an app that accesses the GPS often causes the phone to reboot. Not every time, it seems pretty random. Also it's pretty hit and miss whether the GPS works at all (acquires location). But I've had that issue with many different ROMs, on some it didn't seem to work at all, any time.

i have a folder in which i have stored all apk that i use. when i flash a new rom, ussually i do cp /sdcard/apkfolder/*.apk /data/app

i tried that with 07032011 also. but after a reboot, i get stuck on android logo (not on g1 logo).

anybody knows why that behaviour ?
[G1 Android Development] darkguy2008:
If you do that when you flash a ROM and you have lots of APKs, the ROM has to build the dalvik cache on first boot, and that's a very time-consuming process, even for your restored APKs. It might be doing so instead of getting stuck.

Have you tried issuing a logcat and seeing if it's really stuck or building the cache?
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
you`re right about the building cache but it was pretty stuck. it was kind of a loop. i can`t get logcat for that. and was at the step that keys light was on, vibrating for finishing but ... not really get off that "Android" screen. after that, i reflashed the rom without any wipe and the apps were there, all work fine `till now. let`s see for now on.
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
I would suggest to call

pm install /sdcard/app/<your.apk>

probably within a small script which loops over your apks. This guarantees, that the initialization of the app is correct, otherwise the pm might get confused ...
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
yes, this would be the right way to do it. i often said to do a script that do that. but i`m lazy enough :)

but i`ll do it :) (someday).

anyway the 07032011 also have (in my case ) some issues with adw settings ( if i press menu will FC and restart adw louncher; same with contacts ).

i`m now on 27062011. ( anyway i don`t like adw launcher :p )

LE: 27062011_l4 won`t get carrier signal. i`ll try another langpack

27062011_l1 works (with adw and l4 don`t work, but with launcher pro - or what is that )
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
After a few hours of digging on what may be the problem, i`ve discovered a few flaws:

- my partition was not made correctly;

- set install location wasn`t set (stored after reboot) until ran fix_permissions;

- the mount point was reverted from data/app back to sd-ext/app and i didn`t knew;

so imagine after i repartitioned the sd-card, still won`t install on sd-ext. the location was still on "let system decide". after i managed to set it and remain that way, actually i remained with "out of space" becase i didn`t copied the files to the right folder. this wasn`t my day :)

so ... i`m going to sleep. 10x for all your support.

Copy & paste not working

No one any idea regarding my music album prob?

I have another one: I can't copy, cut and paste with my physical keyboard any more! The shortcut is menu + c, menu + x and menu + v. I just saw that in the "COS" settings it is possible to assign the (long press) menu key to something special. Currently it is set to "none". Is this the root cause for the missing function? The other possible settings seems to be unrelated, at least for me...
[G1 Android Development] xda<3:
Hey I just flashed the ROM. Ok so far, but I have one major concern, and I wonder if it can be fixed. I noticed that tapping on the messaging app, phone, contacts app etc... It takes a fairly long time to load and at times is pretty frustrating. The worst I found, is the messaging app. It takes 3 seconds to load the app, and when I want to view a conversation I have to wait 5 seconds for it to load, and not to mention the screen turns black for a second. I'm considering switching back to CM6 untill this problem is fixed. In general though it's a great ROM. Really like the ui, very very similar to the actual stock gingerbread mod. Great job!

Hopefully this problem will be fixed in upcoming versions. :)

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] ehb224:
I have been seeing the same thing every time I try this rom (which I am currently running) and it's been a problem since some time in the beginning of June. Not sure with which update I first noticed it.

mp3 playback

I just installed the rom and have to say I'm very impressed. It's fast, super stable and far beyond what I was expecting compared to my past experiences. I do have to say I have one issue and only one issue.

I've started using my G1 to play music in the car, don't know why I didn't do it before. But, it's stuttering when playing back any and all my mp3s. Now it doesn't do it all of the time. It seems to be completely at random and to the untrained ear almost unnoticeable, I listen to a lot of electronica/dance music/techno whatever you want to call it.

I was using CM 6.1 and it was fine. These are 320 kbps mp3s, mostly, with some at 128 kbps. I can use my phone as a usb storage on my tablet (old Fujitsu stylistic) and the same mp3s play absolutely fine so I can't blame it on the card or anything of that nature. I've also tried several other files just in case, no difference there.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks and again I LOVE THIS ROM!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for getting it to us.

[G1 Android Development] drbobb:
My battery doesn't seem to last any more that 16 hours at best, and usually 8-12. Funny that when I last looked at what's eating the energy, the stats said it was mostly mediaserver - when no media had been played on the phone since the last reboot.

Also the issue of rebooting when the gps is accessed is getting pretty serious. Happens too often, I haven't yet been able to use the new google maps without causing a reboot.

I'm also having some issues with playback of streaming audio (extraneous noises), but I'm not sure whether the player apps are to blame or the ROM. Playback of audio files from the sdcard is not affected.

EDIT oh and one more thing, I use an app called Clock Sync to keep my phone's clock from drifting away from true time too much, the drift is corrected every 12 hours according to NTP. Funny that the app reports the corrrected offset to be as large as a minute or so, to me that feels a little excessive.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
I have no GPS problems, no reboots. This rom is made and tested on HTC Dream, although it should be the same for your device i cannot test it.
[G1 Android Development] drbobb:
Well in that case it's simply time for me to get a new phone. AFAIK there isn't really any way to debug gps issues, the gps subsystem being a totally opaque proprietary black box from the Android point of view.

And to be honest even if I complain about bugs, your ROM is still the one that works best on my phone, others have displayed more serious issues. Except maybe if I went back to the original cupcake/sense ui.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
i don`t know why, and i don`t really think that is a rom issue but my phone doesn`t ring anymore. the call comes on "received calls" but nothing on the screen. ( sound like rings once and then close call ). and the lock screen never locks screen.

anybody?

maybe a broken key ? or some radio problem?

i`ve tested the sim card on other phone. works just fine.

LE: in don`t know yet what was it but ... after a few slides (and many hours spent), it work now.
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
I get it a lot when I'm running Navigation while listening to the music at the same time.

My understanding is that the 'choppiness', if it's not hardware related, is really an indication high CPU activity. And in our phones, that is most likely caused by low memory situations (ie. killing and restarting of background processes).

Of course, your situation may be different. Why don't you run a logcat and see what it says? You can run a logcat from your phone using a terminal emulator or a logcat app from Market.

If you find a suspicious process, you can either uninstall or disable it to see if that solves the problem.
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
Beginning of June? That's about the time roalex implemented xVold. Must be a coincidence, though. Are you, by any chance, storing your data on sd-ext? I don't know if xVold would interfare with reading ext4 partitions, but it's a possibility nonetheless.

And you mean you don't have that issue with other roms? Which ones? I know CM6.1 (nitghtlies) was fast, but it wasn't that much faster bringing up contacts even then.
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
Getting a new phone? A tempting idea!:D I'm the only one with a three-year-old G1 around me nowadays.

But seriously, have you tried it without any other background processes running? Sync, GMail/email, Voice, Latitude, etc. etc. I have a G1 and I do get random reboots once in a while. But I don't think it's GPS that is at fault (for me, at least).

Yes, roalex has been doing a great job of balancing features vs. speed for our phones. If one release isn't stable enough for me, I can always nando restore and wait for another release. And gratefully, it usually isn't a long wait, anyway.

But if you really need to go back, CM6 nightly #285 is my favorite. I think you were just kidding, though. Right?:rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] Sheist!:
Screenshot

I have to say, the screenshot feature is the most-awesome feature improvement I have seen yet to the already-feature-packed COS-DS.

For those that still use the "Effdee" HCUL patcher like me, just know that once you uninstall the ADW notifier and launcher (you need Titanium Backup and then reflash in recovery), it will install the complete set of icons/colors that it should. I personally use LauncherPro (superior for several reasons) and have so for a long time now, and as such, I have had no issues with using COS-DS (preferred) with the much-desired HCUL colors/icons improvement delivered by Effdee in May.

:)
[G1 Android Development] BlackF09:
mp3 playback

I have these lags too and I have them even if nothing else running in the back- or foreground (except of screen of)! I do not have this effect with streaming music. I can confirm that with CM6 music playback is ok. But this problem is not new, CM5 or early CM6 versions had such a problem, too. Ofc I have no evidence that these two probes are the same.
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
Just tried this rom and it's pretty fast.

I don't use swap or cc and have still ~40MB free ram.

Just one thing:

I use no sd-ext and always keep all apps iternal (/data/app).

When I try to move an app in "manage applications" that installed on sd card to internal mem, it says "... not enough storage left".

The weird thing is, that when I install another app, even if it's a larger one as angry birds, it's installed to /data/app.
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
I use apps2ext myself, so I don't have that problem. However, I've read that there is a bug in the magpie code. If I remember it correctly, you'll probably need to create a small ext4 partition in order for the 'move app' to work. Set the 'default install location' to internal so that the ext4 won't be used.
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
Thanks for the hint.

Meanwhile I moved it manually via adb.

Also found out that moving is possible with titanium backup.

Bad battery life. Choppy at times and some apps such as phone, and especially messaging take forever to load! Annoying! Very unconvenient especially if I have to respond to a text quickly. Frustrating wait for the notifications bar to go down. Sometimes even takes 6 seconds. Even if I set the cpu to 352 min and 614 max the long load time is still evident. I noticed though, that when you tap the app once and the close it and use it again right away it's not slow and loads quickly. The slowness kicks in if you don't use the app for a while. A minute later the app loads very long again. Same thing for the notification bar. It seems like it's some memory or ram issue? But I'm running 40mb and have tons of room on my internal and exterior. These things NEED to be fixed. Until then I'm sticking with CM6. I have Htc Dream 32b hboot 1.33.2005 with the new 3.22 radio

[EDIT] It seems like this problem has ceased. Probably becuase I un partitioned my sd card. It used to have ex4. Or maybe this problem dissapeared because of the new update. Now my only cocern is battery life. Is there another kernel I could flash over top the defaul kernel that has better battery life? My battery only lasts 8 hours tops with minimal usage with this ROM.

[EDIT] It seems that I'm still experiencing a huge delay witht the notification bar still. But much less with the apps. :)

[EDIT] Nevermind still having the same problem but instead of the apps loading for 5 seconds they load for 3.5 seconds. A little better..

Anyone know my problem? Or is this just the ROM, because I've never experienced anything like this on CM6

Hello all,

Everything runs great and fast, the only thing that works partially is HFP bluetooth. I pair and connect to my car's stereo, the phone book loads perfectly, but when I call someone or receive a call no sound comes from the speakers (music volume is turned down but nothing else happens).

Any suggestions?

Hello everyone ..

Yesterday I installed this ROM, everything works fine except the G-Sensor (I think this is the name). That is, the screen is always horizontal, and fed me and hacking on mobile phone screen is never vertical. Only the vertical with you for when I go shooting options and the option to rotate automatically. Any idea? This has happened to me with Yoshi Rom.

Updated to the 07/08/2011 build, and I'm still seeing a battery drain issue. My phone lost nearly 40 percent of charge overnight (7 hs) while in airplane mode, the battery stats in settings reported that as mostly due to mediaserver (no media was played during that time) and display (which was off except for about 10 minutes). Apparently the phone never entered sleep mode (according to spare parts), but no app was reported as having any significant resource usage, or holding the wake lock.
[G1 Android Development] xda<3:
Agreed! The battery life is worse with the new update... And I'm still experiencing slow loads and the notification bar takes FOREVER to open up. :(

It seems that those with HTC Magic's have no problems with slow loads, but those with Dream/g1's do.. Hopefully Roalex will fix this or atleast advise me what I should do to fix it myself. It's pretty frustrating.
