[G1 Android Development] Sheist!:
Already tried it, and confirmed com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk is there in /sd-ext/app, but no change. Moved it to internal memory, did fix_permissions again and then rebooted. No change. It doesn't need root, so there is no "prompt" for permission. Bummer. I too never saw a purpose for that Google Search download, but I guess now I do, if only to be able to search more than from a browser URL.
[G1 Android Development] jj71787:
I ran fixed permissions and theres a few less force closes but the phone itself is still slow. when someone calls me i almost miss the call because it takes forever to show me whos calling
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Those of you who have the search box not working (I don't know about mine; I never use it), did you by chance elect to selectively deny permissions to apps? I forget where the setting is, but I think it's in COS Settings or Settings/Apps/Development or somewhere in there.

Or is it a global ROM issue?

As to spontaneous reboots, I've not had one in quite a while, knock on wood... I have CPU at 614/176 (or whatever the real numbers are, Fastest and one step from slowest), and JIT disabled with the rest left at defaults.

As to knocking on wood, does it have to be solid wood or will pressboard do? What about fiberboard, laminates, and wood-print imitation metal/plastic? :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] gzzf:
got it. thanks!
[G1 Android Development] smashman42:
Just to freak ppl out, my phone was spontaneously rebooting (hard not soft) heaps before it corrupted the recovery & died.... yours is next! :D
[G1 Android Development] robuser007:
anyone experience with the latest power save kernel?
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
I think you got it the other way around. quicksearchbox.apk is the original Android app that would have proper permissions. On the other hand, google.quick searchbox.apk is the newer app that you can download from the Market, but (seemingly) doesn't have proper permissions for the 'menu/search' to work. So if you want to use the 'menu/search', you'd need to install the original quicksearchbox.apk taken out from other roms.

However, as I said (and roalex confirmed), I wouldn't install quicksearchbox.apk just so that I can use the menu option. I can use the widget for the same purpose.

Or you can wait for roalex to tweek the launcher so that it can start googlesearchbox.apk without the permission error. Modifying the googleserachbox.apk to obtain the proper permission would be harder since google doesn't publish its source code (I think).

Am I missing the point?

Edit: I attached quicksearchbox.apk from ads-magpie if any one is interested.
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
You mean you can't turn on your phone any more? Oh, you are the one having the corrupt recovery issue, aren't you? You couldn't fix the problem? Did you try the orange.nbh and not able to go back to 'stock'? I was away on a vacation this week, so my memory is vague.

So you had spontaneous reboots in the beginning. No overclocking. Then your mtd got corrupted... That sounds like a very bad sign, indeed.

Sorry, I googled for hints on how to repair corrupt mtd, but can't find any relevant answer on the net.
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
I'm on the latest release (6/11) also, and I can confirm that there's something with the Browser that causes extreme slow down when the web page I'm trying to display is 'heavy'. I haven't tried to diagnose the cause because I wouldn't be near my PC when I need to open a heavy website on my phone. Makes sense:p?

It's got to be the out of memory issue, though. ezterry once explained to me that soft reboots are caused by system killing zygote in panic, and our experience fits that situation nicely.

@roalex - Can you confirm the issue on your end?

I know Google Maps is another memory hog and I believe you guys have been trying to tweek memory management settings so that it works better on our phones. However, Maps doesn't cause soft reboots as far as I can remember. It just gets sloooow. On the other hand, Browser (Android, to be accurate) just starts killing everything when out of memory. Is it something to do with cache?
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
Which one?
[G1 Android Development] ra100x:
maybe this powersaver kernel :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010932

I am testing it right now
[G1 Android Development] obiwanbartek:
I am using 06062011 kernel with COS 06042011, and as far as I tested, it works almost perfectly. No battery drain issue (both with USB and BT headset), usually phone response is fast, when someones calling time to show who's calling takes less than 4-5 sec. Sometimes phone gets a big slowdown, it isn't triggered by any of my apps (I think so), but slowdown is usually gone after few minutes.

--------

EDIT:

--------

I've found a bug in standard Email application (ver. 2.3.4). When configuring my email (IMAP/SMTP) it cannot connect properly to SMTP. I get an smtp error 501 (HELLO: Invalid name). I have discovered that app when connecting to smtp server sends "EHLO <phone_IP>" (eg. "EHLO 192.168.1.2", but it should send "EHLO <hostname>", or a rev-DNS instead of hostname. My email provider refuses do send HELO command with IP addresses. Any clue how to fix?

-------

EDIT2:

-------

As of RFC2821 IP address is acceptable in EHLO command, but it HAVE TO be in square brackets, eg. "EHLO [192.168.1.2]". Still, how to fix?
[G1 Android Development] Maxamillion:
How's it going for you so far? I am curious to now how farmtitio's kernel performs with this rom.
[G1 Android Development] karym1969:
farmtitio's kernel

Farmtitio's BFS kernel extended by COS-DS battery life. :)
[G1 Android Development] Maxamillion:
Which version should be used with cosds? Bfs or nonbfs?
[G1 Android Development] robuser007:
Latest is nonbfs
[G1 Android Development] robuser007:
:confused:

So COS-DS kernel was lasting longer?

Feature Request @roalex

Hi roalex, any chance you could add FLAC support in the next build?
[G1 Android Development] smashman42:
Yep, pretty much what happened - same problems after unrooting with stock recovery corrupt, even when fastboot boot(ed) rather than flashed custom recoveries fail, also the stock OS doesn't boot either (from two diff sappimg versions, MT3G & VF). Not the usual brick (can still fastboot some stuff with S=ON SPL) but effectively a brick none the less :(

I figure I've dragged this thread OT enough (no-one answered in the Sapphire RA recovery thread) so if anyone has any bright ideas or has JTAG gear & wants to have a bash at resurrecting it PM me.

Thanks to all who helped me try to fix it & thanks to roalex & ezterry for keeping these old phones alive, COS was better than CM6x IMO. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
Browser lagness

People who have problem even with a 'light' website may want to experiment with larger vm heap sizes. 32 or more, I think. That should give Browser a little more breathing room.

Please don't expect too much, though. It won't solve the problem entirely.
[G1 Android Development] ra100x:
nice theme, but I am using it with Cyanbread and I am missing some icons and some have glitches :)

in Appliciations, top menu have some crazy pictures, like wrongly stretched and I have no buttons for music control on loch screen visible and button for volume on lockscreen, buttons are there, but images are 100% transparent :)
[G1 Android Development] ra100x:
don't know if it helps, but I have used firerats patch and moved apps to sd-ext with it and apkmanager, but I've had those apps fist on /sdcard
[G1 Android Development] belrin:
I set Compcache 26% and VM 32m and works fine.Thx

[G1 Android Development] gjunky:
Can anyone tell me if Bluetooth DUN is supported in this ROM? I know there were some discussions about this in Cyanogen 5.x but I don't know if this ever made it in newer versions and then into this ROM.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] sickleman:
The market isn't working for me. But at all it's the best Gingerbread now for our phones.
[G1 Android Development] yeticomes:
Me to, no market with the ROM since yesterday. Over the weekend everything worked fine with this great ROM.

Tried everything (GTalk, delete android_secure, clear caches, fullwipe, reflash), but always Download unsuccessful ... any idea?
[G1 Android Development] s14evil:
how is the battery life? dose it get at less 10 hours on a full charge? I m looking for a daily Gingerbread rom. I've been using Eztreey and ADS roms
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
@s14evil:

My battery lasts me all day, BUT, I turn off data, sync, wifi, and bluetooth when I'm not using them (easy to do with the new notification-bar control app). I've done the math on SEVERAL charge cycles, and it almost always comes out to be that the phone will last around 20 to 28 hours on one charge, with light use. I usually make 3 or 4 phone calls, less than 10 minutes each, and hardly use the phone for anything else. I do occasionally need it for passwords I have stored in OISafe or for checking e-mail (on-demand, remember I keep sync and data turned off most of the day).

EDIT: Forgot, my battery's not stock. It's a lightly used 1400 mAH, and I forget what stock is, but it's not much smaller. A lot of the people here claim to get 2 and 3 days out of their phones, but they've never answered the question of what battery they have and I suspect it's the double-plus 2800-ish mAH battery. But yes, if you don't constantly play with your phone, it should last you all day at work/school and then some.
[G1 Android Development] ThdDude:
Ok remade my theme fresh for newest build just tested and works great on my G1

TD COS DS THEME Has HC unlock and colors
[G1 Android Development] Jincos:
Me also, market not working, can't download any apps..

Reflashed gapps, reflashed rom..still no working.
[G1 Android Development] ximmox:
The Market on mine is working but shows sometimes the error "Installation failed", too.

I noticed that the version of my market is 2.2.11, which is actually kinda old.

Current version should be 2.3.4 if I'm not mistaken.

Otherwise totally awesome rom, ezTerry's already awesome speed combined with the CM-gimmicks. Thanks to both of you!
[G1 Android Development] ThdDude:
Market is working fine here as well just download 4 apps to make sure
[G1 Android Development] s14evil:
where is the gapps links? and why use clockwork... i am using RA1.7
[G1 Android Development] ximmox:
Could you look up which version you got?

I somehow had to accept the Market "Guidelines" again yesterday without doing anything, but I can't believe that it actually DOWNgraded itself to 2.2.11 ... :rolleyes:

gapps are already integrated, which means the "main ones" like market, calendar etc pp

You have to get Google Mail, Google Maps, YouTube and so on from the market yourself.

Have a look at the second post in ezTerry's GB repository thread, he lists them up nicely.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
@s14evil:

Clockwork provides some easy-peasy integration with a user-side app call ROM Updater, and the two team together to make ROM updates fairly easy. I don't like Clockwork, or ROM Updater, but I forget why. Wasn't anything bad, just not my preferences. I stuck with AmonRA-1.7, and I have had very few issues compared to Cyanogen. For instance, today I had I think my third "random reboot" since I installed the ROM. On CM, I would have them once a day at least, sometimes. Other than that, everything seems to work.
[G1 Android Development] s14evil:
kool. i think i'll keep AmonRA-1.7 cyanogen. im not a big fan of clockwork
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
advantage of clockwork is that you can wipe system, data, cache, boot.. but, you can't name backups like AmonRa:(
[G1 Android Development] cityeyes:
Absolutely loving this rom, but like others I'm having some memory problems.

Seems that the memory full killer is a little overzealous or something when it comes to shutting stuff down. Facebook won't even stay open when I'm actively using it as an application. Google Voice has been shutting down in the background pretty often, causing me to miss messages. This is an important one because I use it for voicemail and text.

Every once and a while stuff goes quirky and I have to clear the cache to get it working again properly.

Other than those tiny quirks, I'm very happy with the rom. It flies and I'm very happy with it.
[G1 Android Development] s14evil:
ya but i got super wipe.... so i gess its the same
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
The market is working, sometimes downloads fail, if that happens, press back to exit it, then open it again, usually that will fix the issue. Don't flash other Gapps them rom has them by default.
[G1 Android Development] karym1969:
farmtitio's kernel

auto-boot-2.6.35.13-farmatito-pershoot-ds+-20110612
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
its already supported
[G1 Android Development] Paul Shirley:
The problem seems to be caused by giving it too much memory. It appears to be completely filling the SQL db used to track its media cache and my bet is the continuous faulting after that is what's causing problems. So reducing it's available memory makes more sense.

I switched down to a 16m VM and the browser reverts back to it's usual sluggish self on busy pages but hasn't crashed my phone so far. A 48m VM barely got through 10 pages before rendering the phone unusable.
[G1 Android Development] Paul Shirley:
...how about mp2 support? Always wondered why that doesn't just work given it seems to usually be built into mp3 libs.

Not that transcoding Freeview radio to mp3 is hard but I do tend to forget when loading the programmes!
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
about the search thingy: it does not like it when googlequicksearchbox is on data|sd-ext so to have the search button/link working you would have to move the apk to system/app, next build will include the market google search, but somewhat smaller.
[G1 Android Development] jj71787:
I dont know if this happened to anyone else but if it did can you please help me out. When I write a text message sometimes if it is a little longer the message app will close itself. or sometimes when I send a text it will close it self.

also it takes a long time for the phone to show me who is calling
[G1 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
That happens to me too. I don't know why.

What exactly is the OpenGL for? As far as I can tell, it doesn't affect the ROM graphically or speed-wise.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
I said it many times, crys and whines do NOT help, if you found something you think its unnatural, reproduce it, if it happens again, do a full wipe, install the rom fresh, see if it happens again, if it does THEN get a logcat and post here the information with the log, else its just one post closer to 3000.

usual things which may cause such issues are :

-running many application at once, this is a likely cause, easy fix is to enable long back = kill, then use the app, press long on back and its dead(if u "exit" by pressing HOME you are not actually exiting, the app is still running and taking resources)

-using many items on the HOME screens, be it widgets or shortcuts, they all take RAM, we have the app Drawer for a good reason, use that, limit the number and kind of widgets (more then 3 widgets its usually enough to slow things down)
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Btw have tried the NTSense TMO theme a bit ago, its quite uber now a days ! almost everything is themed :)

here's look alike sense clock by infinitybiff
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Made a fresh recovery build, as the previous its highly experimental, use it on your own risk DO NOT ask any questions, totally unsupported.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Roalex, you think you could build an CW mod recovery for us Mytouch 1.2 users?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
I can't really test it...but i suppose the one for 32B Dream should be working, to be on the safe side make sure your rom is working, that is has flash_image to restore the old recovery in case its needed.

push the recovery.img to the sdcard, reboot into recovery, mount sdcard, "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img", reboot into recovery, test it out.

/later edit

checked the 2.5.0.7 sapphire CW recovery and it does have the same kernel address as the dream so it should be fine to use, let us know how it went :)

btw don't restore old backups with the new recovey!
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Ill give it a try and report back. Thanks.

EDIT:Well, you can mark Sapphire as being compatible. Just flashed via terminal and its sweet. Works great. Love the new color. Much better than 2.5.0.7 Thanks, I appreciate your work.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Might have to repartition the sdcard btw if you have problems mounting the sd-ext after a recovery wipe, under advanced/partition :) fun!

you should redownload/reflash changed a little thing
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Ill reflash.
[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
@roalex re: FLAC support:

huh, that's what I thought but I've been getting a pop-up that says file type unsupported.

is FLAC support still limited to 16bit? Maybe these are 24bit files... hmmm, will take a look.
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Do you have problems restoring backups? for me after it gets to data it goes back to the main menu like Nothing happened

Edit: that was with a backup made right after flashing. Didn't attempt to restore an old one
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
thats actually a reboot recovery, it seams to do that, as i said though, do not restore older backups with the new recovery.

/edit

yea the restore works, after each erase_image it restarts recovery, thats why you notice that, same thing if you use wipe/factory reset.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
I haven't tried to restore a backup yet. I just did a new backup with the new recovery so ill do a wipe and restore tomorrow to try it out. Is there any known issues with this recovery?

EDIT:Sorry, NM, just seen that you posted not to ask questions. Not supported. :)
[G1 Android Development] d12unk13astard:
3000th post! :P

Just stopping by to say keep up the great work roalex, this was my favorite gb rom for the g1. Matter of fact I just handed it down to a friend in need and they were quite impressed by the speed/stability of the g1 :P

Got a crazy deal on this mt4g on craigslist till my upgrade hits in August and even tho I miss my qwerty slider this touchscreen typing ain't too bad with a bigger display.
[G1 Android Development] Maxamillion:
Anyone try out newest build yet?
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
Info: Someone mentioned in this forum post that Swype quit working on this rom after a reboot. The issue is not with this rom and can be fixed by upgrading to Swype 3 beta. Does work well on this rom and with the sense theme mentioned earlier.
[G1 Android Development] Maxamillion:
Roalex can you post the link to the sense clock install instructions, because I'm not really sure on how to install it.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
most of the time you can install the package right from terminal on the phone.

pm install filename.apk

At least I think it's that simple. Can't verify right now.

Alternatively, with ADB, I believe you can

adb install /path/on/phone/to/filename.apk

EDIT: (could be c:\path\on\computer\to\filename.apk but I think it's on the phone...)

Again I'm a little fuzzy but I'm pretty sure these are valid.

Hi,

I just realized I don't have Theme Chooser app.

After flashing latest ROM 0614, cleaning cache and dalvik-cache, I see one error while recreating dalvik-cache :

E/PackageManager( 139): Package com.tmobile.themechooser has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!

Something wrong in the ROM or with my data ? I haven't tried to wipe though...
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Well, had to revert back to CWmod 2.5.0.7. I Couldnt restore any backups and had to redo the entire ROM. Everything else worked great though. Just would fail when restoring data and go back to menu. Oh well, ill keep an eye out to see if it gets fixed and ill reflash. I'd really love to keep it though. Its much better but need to be able to restore backups. :)
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
You can't restore backups made with a different recovery than the one it was made with.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
it doesn't actually fail to restore data but it will reboot the recovery once its done, should check out the /tmp/recovery.log
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Yes I know. The backup was made with the 4.0.0.2 version. Roalex already told us that.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Oh, ok. Will do.
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
We know that. We are saying it fails on restoring data on backups made with it

If it is not in working yet, is there any plan for it to make it work, specially voice call?

Thanks for your great Rom, I love it.

[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
We need one of two things..

A. Someone to rework the binary or reverse eng. it to work on armv6 processors

B. Google to release a version on an armv6 device.

Once one of these happen it will be fully working.. otherwise the app looks nice and works but only without the new features.
[G1 Android Development] uvt_novice:
Roalex,

I'm using Zeam Launcher with this ROM and found it out that it works better than ADW plus it weighed less. Even though Launcher 2 or Launcher Pro works better than ADW, least they work faster than ADW with this ROM.

I realized that Zeam eats less memory than ADW, it's for sure. Finally, I think that it has more advanced features...I mean more fancy to use.

Haven't you ever thought to replace ADW stock launcher with anything else?
[G1 Android Development] drbobb:
Could something please be done about the non-working GPS. This is the only issue keeping me from using this ROM as a daily.

I don't know, maybe GPS works for people on G1's, on my 32A it definitely does not. Attempting to access the GPS with apps like GPS Status, GPS Test or even Maps very rarely leads to a location fix, and when it does it takes like 15-30 minutes and eats up to 20% of the battery. The reported precision is like 200m and the fix is soon lost. Often it reboots the phone or freezes it.

EDIT The same holds for all gingerbread ROMs, radio 3.22 or 6.35.

On CM6.1 the GPS on the same phone works not great, but decently well.
[G1 Android Development] karym1969:
Zeam

Totally Agree, I use Zeam too. :)
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
your GPS looks to be broke

@uvt_novice

If it was open source it would be an option, its not the case though. But if you like it then use the one on market, i'm not sure what's the issue here ;)
[G1 Android Development] darkguy2008:
+1 to this. The GPS in my 32A is far from perfect. It gets a fix quicky, but it isn't very precise, and that bugs me like hell :(

LauncherPro is 100 times better than Zeam in terms of speed. It isn't free but the lite version is more than enough =)
[G1 Android Development] darkguy2008:
Whoops, double post. Delete me :(
[G1 Android Development] drbobb:
I was about ready to agree. But as I said above, I tried on CM6.1, and there it works not too bad at all.

BTW libgps.so are bit by bit identical on CM6.1 and on your ROM (and probably the other GB ports). Could you comment on that?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
its a property file, manufacturer driver and that is the latest out there.
