i don`t know how to start.

thank you for your concern and advice.

and yes, there is a but. an app from market does require an working OS? let`s just say i get the app. how is it supose to help me get the log from a rom that won`t start? i`m still working on that :)

i don`t want to be impolite. and i do hope that you realize that that was a joke. i`ll try this version also. maybe it will work one day :)

LATER EDIT: damn, that was the fastest boot ever :) 05212011 works like a charm. the only explanation is that i know i have a few bad blocks on phone`s memory and maybe on a larger roms ... the problems appear.

10x roalex!
[G1 Android Development] darkguy2008:
This makes me think.

I'm running on 3.22 radio but my original radio (which made GPS work) was 6.35. With my current SPL and HBOOT, can I flash the 6.35 radio and flash this ROM? or will that brick my device?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
brick.. only if you do it wrong. and really read up on that radio before you do so as you will brick or trap your device if you do it wrong.

But 6.35 is not compatible with 32b devices and requires changes to the rom to get everything to work.. carz12 has a CM7 port in the sapphire section for the 6.x radio as well as a ezGingerbread derived product [has separated a bit from my codebase in the recent past].. otherwise currently COS-gb and ezGb are both for only 2.22 and 3.22 radios.

From a rooted open source point of view you are probably best with 3.22.20.17 (avoid 3.22.26.17)

Oh and 99.9% of the time ignore people saying a radio is only for use in region foo.. may have some truth with the original 1.x radios for the dream.. but seems once HTC makes a radio work in a region they don't remove the functionality from the code. Thus all subsequent radios will work. Now some radios may be buggy.. or carriers may try to enforce the use of a radio. [or carriers may enforce the use of a buggy radio] But that is usually something outside the phones ability to function
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
Oh, my bad! I didn't realize that you weren't able to at least boot up the phone.

Any ways, glad it's working now for you. Yeah, I like the new release too. The Honeycomb theme is cool.;)

By the way, I remember there was a thread about how to work around bad blocks. Looks like this is it.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=707051

Hope it can fix your problem. Well, if I misread your post again, I'm gonna hit the sack!:p
[G1 Android Development] darkguy2008:
Oh, okay, that was really helpful, thanks for the info! (though I'm using a 32A, not 32B :P).

Somehow this ROM made my GPS work again :D YAY, but I've found a -very important- bug: Vibration doesn't work :(.

I just installed the ROM, flashed MIUI Music, set the phone to silent/vibration mode using the toggle at the notification window and sent myself an SMS through another phone. Voilá, LED blinks but it doesn't vibrate :(.

Is there any way that can be looked into? is there anything I can provide to help?

Still, this ROM seems as fast as GY 1.1, though I'm gonna replace the launcher with Launcher Pro, since it's like, 100 times faster than Zend, ADW and GoLauncher :P

Logcat as soon when I receive an SMS:

Try adw laucnher ex just as fast as launcher pro but with more features.
[G1 Android Development] darkguy2008:
I've tried it before with GY 1.1 and Launcher Pro just seemed faster. I'll try it now and see how it goes =) thanks!

In another news, is that logcat... helpful?
[G1 Android Development] smashman42:
I'm no guru with this stuff but you can see it call the flashing LED in that log but nothing to do with vibrating, what if you turn it to vibrate another way (eg: volume down key to one before completely silent)

Just wondering if it is something screwy with the notification toggle widget or just vibration full stop?

Will flash 05/21 on my 32B & see if the fault is there on it too (I assume vibrate worked for notifications on your previously working version? It works for me on the 20th release set via long press end & choose silent)

Edit: Sorry, don't have time to mess with a full wipe update atm - I'm a n00b anyway I'm sure someone else will be able to help
[G1 Android Development] ginoyang:
Is there crt tv screen off animation in new build?
[G1 Android Development] ginoyang:
What's new kernel in 0522 build~~~ I just flash 0521 how should I try it? is there only kernel zip?
[G1 Android Development] b1czu:
Do you know that you have to enable vibration in sms app settings? You have also, to do the same thing to have notification vibrations in other apks, like gmail, gtalk, etc.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
it contains usb :P
[G1 Android Development] devrruti:
Do you recommend me this rom for a mytouch-magic 32b? If so what settings do you advise me for it?

Also I see that it gets constantly updated. How do you usually update from one rom to another? I use to format partitions and wipe all, but I'm plain ignorant what can I keep.

Could I keep at least the apps in the sd ext partition? Having to instal them all is what takes most time
[G1 Android Development] dimiar:
cant sync contacts

i've downloaded latest build (22052011) .Full wipe . clean install / magic 32a . Google cant sync contacts / gmail ok / calendar ok.

When start to sync contacts process core force close.

wtf?
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
i get the same issue with 21052011. tried to remove account, then a reboot and ... it works. contacts are now sync-ed.

and the caller id show ... is indeed way better. now i`ll try 2205. any information for the new kernel?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
not much about the kernel just a test, atm im trying various setups
[G1 Android Development] drbobb:
Okay so today I tried a different trick, I reflashed the radio although it had just been flashed specifically for the purpose of testing this rom, but in addition I used a different version (though compatible; 3.22.26.17 instead of 3.22.23.18). BIG improvement. Still takes minutes rather than seconds to fix, but at least once it's there it sticks, and precision is a lot better.

Thank you for your work roalex, this rom looks like a keeper.
[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
First of all, thanks for that elaborate posting on memory you posted a while ago, ezterry. I stuck to 26% CC after that, though it feels like the phone doesn't work as well ever since. Yesterday I have installed the then current COS-DS version, it works... somewhat ok, but even with 26% CC I have huge memory issues. After restart I have 13 (!) MB left. 2.5 RAM and 10.5 CC. I'm not using any widgets, just Launcher Pro. As soon as I start anything that gets reduced to 4 MB. It's so bad that I can't even make a internet phone call, the WiFi just crashes (even standing next to the router). I don't like to use a swapfile cause that usually lets my phone grind to a halt. Might as well go to the person I'm trying to contact, that would be faster.

Am I the only one with these problems? My phone is simply not usable... if it weren't for VoIP I'd be running 2.2, which seems to work a lot better than 2.3.
[G1 Android Development] Michael_psgn21:
how come when I try to go on COS settings it force closes? This is my only problem. Everything else is GREAT good Job!
[G1 Android Development] almostthere:
Guys, I think I have the answer. Was facing the same problem until I manually removed ADW Notifier and things behave properly after that.

It's a big mem hog even if you don't enable any notifications and/or even Chuck Norriz

And yes kadajawi, am using Launcher Pro Plus with tons of widgets.
[G1 Android Development] robuser007:
still doesn't work (didn't wipe).
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
i do use swap and cc disabled and works ok. i`m always with more than 30mb ram free. it is ok and i`m with an only class4 microsd.

did you tried a #fix_permissions ?

between 21052011 and 22052011 i also didn`t wipe and it worked just fine. but from less than 21052011 ... you should wipe (i think).
[G1 Android Development] edward0119:
wow,buddy,you update it too often...
[G1 Android Development] darkguy2008:
Well, that actually worked - but it's a BIG usability fail (coming from Google)... because, you expect the phone to vibrate on every notification (or at least sms & calls) when in vibration mode... it's called that way for a reason, duh!.

In my case I just edited the default profile and set it to override vibration modes on sms & calls, now it works fine, like my stolen BB ^^.

Thanks for the tip :)
[G1 Android Development] merlos:
I tried, but don't works for me :(
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Are you on a 2708 setup ?
[G1 Android Development] merlos:

I have a Sapphire device (EBI1) with SPL 1.33.0008

tks

The best Gingerbread ROM atm: fast, smooth, often updated and not buggy at all !

Thank you Roalex, hope we will soon have a stable release !
[G1 Android Development] ph0b0z:
Phew.. i'm on a Magic 32B with SPL 1.33.0013 (without d!) i just flashed the latest rom twice, first without wiping - which shouldn't be a problem i think, because i read the updater takes care of that - but since i wasn't sure (and the phone started to reboot right after typing in my pin) i used SuperWipe 2(i think) and after flashing i got reboots and FCs of all the system-tasks.. huh. :-)

may this have something to do with the original SPL i'm using? i just didn't want to try flashing the modified version since it wasn't really necessary?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
provide a proper logcat else nobody can help you
[G1 Android Development] sb56637:
Hi, I just tried out 20110307. Looking really good!

Quick question: I flashed COS_legacy_a2sd_g1-signed.zip too because I want my apps on my ext4 partition. But is there any GUI settings for the configuration? The ezGingerbread ROM with Firerat has 4 options for application install location, one of them is the "SD-ext" partition. However on COS-DS, I only see the normal Cyanogenmod options of "Automatic", "Internal", or "External".

Thanks for this nice ROM and for any help you can give me on this.
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
Quick answer: with COS_legacy_a2sd_g1-signed.zip, internal installation actually puts apps on sd-ext.
[G1 Android Development] ph0b0z:
Okay, at least i could reproduce it (was back to CM6.1) :)

I used Ohsaka-SuperWipe_v2.zip to wipe

Phone is HTC Magic 32B with the +15MB Ram Radio/SPL combination (1.33.0013)

After flashing and booting everything just crashes, i hope i did the steps right to get the logcat via adb (first time :))

Just to try the difference i now wipe "the normal way" with wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache in Clockwork Recovery.. and see what happens

EDIT: Okay, this doesn't happen if i wipe this way.. weird? I don't really know the difference between the two methods, but maybe this is still "interesting".. ;)

EDIT2: Uhoh.. i just remembered that you have to reboot into recovery after using SuperWipe, maybe this has caused it (because i didn't)?
[G1 Android Development] bsteiger:
Love the rom, using 2708 and it's super speedy and stable.

Only issue i'm having is I can't sign in to Words With Friends. Keeps trying to get me to choose a new username and I can't get past it. I went back to the CM6.1 2708 port and I was able to sign in fine so I'm not sure if it's a Gingerbread problem or something specific to this rom.
[G1 Android Development] ximmox:
Great effort, thanks roalex!

Trying it for the first time, it is indeed very fast, even faster than ezTerry's latest nightly.

Things I noticed so far: Battery icon looks very washed out, perhaps because of the HDPI resize?

The market is an older version, on the updated ones and the one I have on ezGB, the big green part scrolls with the list and doesn't stay there ... dumb description, but easily noticed.

Great to have some CM-settings and especially the dropdown-bar back.

Awesome, LEDs working again too, couldn't use colors like blue with ezGB anymore. :)

I'm diggin' this ROM. Love it so far. What is the skinning/theme system it uses though, the T-Mobile one?
[G1 Android Development] sb56637:
Ok thanks. So what should the COS app install location be set to?
[G1 Android Development] ThdDude:
I think he said a few posts back set to internal and it will go ext
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Look, if you dont flash the a2sdext update the applications can be put on the FAT SDCARD or on Internal or auto. If you flash it, then set it to AUTO from COS settings/Applications, then all the apps will go to the SDEXT. It cant get any easier then this, which is why i choose this way ;)
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
You don't have to update. Its your choice. :)
[G1 Android Development] psychosonic:
What services are running? Also, CC 26 is obscene, you're really gonna run out of ram quick. 18% with no swap has been working very well for me.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Does anyone have a the cos-ds-05/21/2011 build i can download? The 05/22 with new kernel causes the wifi to go on and off constantly and i cant get it to boot with any other kernel. I would greatly appreciate it. :D
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Anyone? :)
[G1 Android Development] juaninamillion:
Aren't they on the second post on the OP? I'm having the same problem. But.... I was has having a ton of reboots. I think I'll just wait for the next update. Hopefully it's fixed.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Nope just 05/20 is in second post. Not 5/21. :( Hopefully someones got it.
[G1 Android Development] almostthere:
I'll upload my copy tonight but the prob you mentioned didn't occur on mine just FYI.

Btw,anyone can confirm my observation about ADW Notifier?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
yea will be bringing a new one soonish, the kernel didnt look so good in the end :)

Ofc is updated, such things happen when im testing out things, ofc. you can use the version which run fine for you, chances are that there are significant changes under the hood from one build to another as i still have not found the balanced setting im looking for. THE HOLLY GRAIL !!!!
[G1 Android Development] smashman42:
Regarding swap - recently (maybe a week ago?) something changed & where swap used to work well for me with a swappiness of 20 I now need swappiness of 5 or it fills & the phone grinds to a halt.

I've always found swap to multitask better than CC for me, like using Gmaps Nav & *anything else" with CC fails & one of the two foreground tasks are killed. Just minimizing the lag with swap & finding the sweet spot is pretty hard. 64mb partition on the 05/20 release still, probably should shrink the partition size or retry CC/zram in a newer build.
[G1 Android Development] almostthere:
Can't wait for it. Except for a few minor self solvable bugs, the builds just keep getting better each time.

Requests: can you include the latest Music app in your next build quite like it but also means i have to manually rm the current version and then install the new one
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
If you are just trying to find the sweet spot, you don't need to repartion your sd card. Instead, you can just create swap file. Which method do you use to setup swap? I find firerat's all-in-one patch to be quick and simple for managing swap.

If you find swap to be not working as well as before, roalex may be trying to optimize the memory management for CC usage now. See ezterry's GingerBread thread for the discussion.

With regards to CC vs. swap, I'm on CC @26% right now and quite happy with the performance (I have a G1). But when I'm on the road, I usually switch to swap (64mb, 60 swappiness) in order to use navigation while listenning to the music (without skipping). I haven't gone for a long drive with the latest version, so I don't know if the same settings work good on the current release yet.

In any case, I really admire those devs who are still supporting G1 (and MyTouch). As roalex said above, they must be really in search of the holly grail! ;) Needless to say, their eagerness to experiment new/different codes and settings is the only reason we can run GingerBread on our device.
[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
I have that problem with 05/21, so installing 05/21 might not help.

Services... that's a constant struggle (no wonder the battery life has been extremely bad (I bought a new battery which helped a lot, but since 05/21 it's awful again)). Services are constantly restarting, killing each other in the process. I even missed an important phone call because the phone process seems to have crashed... it asked me to reenter the pin.

Will try 18% CC (but really, how can less RAM help me in getting more RAM?). Will also try other swap and swappiness settings... haven't set up a swap partition though, the last one was so excessive that it really hurt the performance.

Oh, and I'll try removing ADW Notifier... I'm not using ADW anyway.
[G1 Android Development] almostthere:
Ok, for those who were looking for the COS 05202011 ROM can be grabbbed here

https://rapidshare.com/files/1308503077/COS-DS-full-05202011-signed.zip
[G1 Android Development] kadajawi:
Ok, so I have reduced CC to 18% and added a 64 MB swapfile (just to test... so that it can't run out of memory, even if it's very sluggish). Also tried 30 and now 60 swappiness. It works better so far, but it STILL kills WiFi. I get further than before though (usually there is no dial tone when using VoIP, now I get a dial tone and, increasing the swap from 48 to 64, still plenty of space left, even got a connection. But that only lasts a few seconds, cause then it dies again).

Next try: No CC, only swap.

Ok. Speed seems better now, I'm surprised. Will see if it will stay this way. However WiFi still constantly dies. e.g. when the screen turns off while making a phone call. Keeping the screen awake doesn't really help, it just makes things even worse.

Now, for once it worked. Once the WiFi icon disappeared, but the connection remained. After 1 1/2 minutes it died. Guess I need to figure out this logcat thing...
[G1 Android Development] robuser007:
wifi settings: must stay on, not going to stanby is set?

I tried to download a different kernel but it never got passed the green mytouch screen. You just flash these over the rom, right?
[G1 Android Development] :
Just checking.....

Have you flashed a Gingerbread compatible kernel?
[G1 Android Development] juaninamillion:
Yes sir. The ones on the OP are in Rom Manager. I think it was the BFS version.
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
I was curious myself so I did try swap on 0522 release, and sure enough, it was horrible.

Here's the result of my quick and dirty tests (in anyone is interested):

64mb swap partition or 32mb swap file; 60 or 25 swappiness = phone doesn't even respond to screen touch quick enough. @15 swappiness, the phone was as responsible as CC @26% or 18%, but it couldn't even multi-task Maps and Browser at that setting.

There's no point in using swap if I can't multi-task, so I went back to CC and tried 18% and 26%. I didn't see any difference in responsiveness at either setting during my short tests, but it should make some difference if I use it a little longer in order for my regular apps/services to be loaded and cached.

Here's my conf and regular usage:

I have a G1. I don't use widgets. I use Latitude and Voice in addition to ADW Notifier (which I am about to remove after this test). I only sync contacts and calendar. Everything else is at their default settings.

Oh, I usually keep JIT on for the placebo effect.:p

Edit: Forgot to mention: my sd card is class 6 (8gb)

Anyone else with similar configuration getting good performance with good multi-task-ability? I'm eager to try your setting!
