Sorry, I'm not a linux guru or anything. But I tried to track back your posts to see what happened to you, anyway because I wanted to know the answer myself.

Did you just loose recovery without any indication of nand failure? Or do you remember writing anything to the mtd before things started to happen? custom MTD?

You know that ezterry's 0013d thread has a link to orange.nbh that you can use to recover from total system crash (sort of:p) and lets you use the full fastboot capability. The questions is, however, since you still have a bootable system, you may not want to risk loosing it by flashing the orange. If nand is starting to fail for hardware reasons, there's a high possibility that it could be affecting areas outside of recovery partition.

In any case, nand isn't a magnetic media, so 0'ing out desn't seem to 'repair' the faulty partition that way.

Also, I remember reading that the beta version of rommanager has a problem flashing cwm recovery from the OS. Is that what you are using?

Sorry not much of a help.
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
I'm kinda failing to see what your suggestion is. First, you are saying that the current 'build is too heavy to run'. Then, you are asking to remove a few ringtones to 'save a meg or 2' in /system. But saving a meg or 2 wouldn't affect the performance, would it? Or am I missing something?
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
A logcat may be helpful to diagnose your problem.

Other than that, did you try it without the kernel update? Or how is it with WEP or WPA(1)? Does it connect, then disconnect? Does it find the router?

Edit: Oops, I went back a little more and saw that you explained that it is at least trying to obtain IP address. So it at least finished hand-shaking before disconnecting. Then, did you check your router's log?
[G1 Android Development] smashman42:
Yep, lost recovery out of the blue. No cMTD being a 32B magic. Last time I'd used recovery was to flash the latest release of the rom & the newer kernel, which I'd done a couple of times troubleshooting getting my data back.

I'd rather not risk the phone while it is booting, no recovery & a non-fastboot SPL leaves me feeling like I'm shagging a hooker with no dinger & I'm worried flashing a .NBH might brick it

Added: I've installed rom manager from the market & tried to use it to flash clockwork, manually tried flashing RA via ADB & on phone console, MD5s match.

Any suggestions? Is there a nand-checking utility?
[G1 Android Development] betizad:
Installed the rom and it is amazing. it works great on my G1 and I only updated the kernel to 2.6.35.13 for usb drain battery issue. have lots of space on my internal and only installed apps on internal.

And the good thing, it also has the default keyboard with persian to switch languages and no need for another keyboard.

Used to have ginger yoshi but this rom works way better for me.

Thank you guys for this. Love This rom.
[G1 Android Development] ra100x:
some issues

I've got some issues and questions (rom [06/04/2011]):

1! when I try to move app from sd-ext to internal, it says insufficient space, I've got 55MB free on /data (cMTD 90 2)

2! after setting custom LED color in COS Settings -> Interface, notification LED doesn't blink, just lights up, I've tried various combinations of color and blink rate (got this issue since 05/30 or so)

3? how does cMTD work, is my cache now mounted to sd-ext or not?, is dalvik-cache on /sd-ext/dalvik-cache? how do I check, only thing I've found is that /cache is mountpoint to /dev/block/mtdblock4 on /cache type yaffs2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime)

4! still, I've got issue with touchscreen, sometimes and sometimes more often it doesn't recognize touch position. It finds 2 positions instead of one and so, when I have opportunity, I'll try to make video of pointer location from Dev Tools

EDIT: 5! Market is not working "network error", other apps don't have problem with connection, I tried to reboot, clear data, cache, still doesn't work :(

thanks for reading this :)
[G1 Android Development] cybernetus:
I've got this issue too with the TouchScreen. Sometimes it doesn't recognize the position and I need to reboot the phone to get this work again.

:(
[G1 Android Development] cosmique:
i dont like the new phone apk, which is in the current version of this rom.

Always me ear breaks the call ....

Could you rollback the previous version please?

Thank you
[G1 Android Development] robuser007:
I have this too (I use bluetooth in my car, for bussiness purposes).

First connection get's broken, second works, but way to slow when receiving calls (sometimes it works after only 3seconds after picking up the phone)
[G1 Android Development] Finde:
Sadly I have a BT Home Hub which doesn't give much information in its log, and doesn't let me set static IPs. I've tried both WPA2 (on my home hub) and WEP (from my wifi tether on my galaxy tab) and my G1 gets stuck on obtaining IP from both.

I did a logcat (for trying to connect to WPA2) and it seems like sometimes it connects, then gets this a few times:

E/dhcpd ( 723): ignoring message: no Server ID

before getting dhcp decides it's timed out.

Then it tells me the DHCP request failed, and wpa_supplicant starts complaining that the key is wrong. Sometimes the 4-way handshake fails too.

I'd just assumed it was the fault of the home hub (I tried installing a few different roms to see), but after it failed connecting to a different wep network, I'm really confused. Looks like it's most likely my device. It won't connect to these secured networks regardless of the rom I've had installed, but it WILL connect to the unsecured ones.
[G1 Android Development] ra100x:
I only need to lock phone and unlock, then it works for a while a then again behaves crazy.

Do you have original digitizer, or it has been changed, I have changed mine.

i know i can manually remove it but i am just sayiing maybe itll make it run better. i mean who knows. you cant really doubt anything. because the lighter the rom is, the less things it is going require to use more memory and what not. i am studying android in and out so i could say that it will improve the performance but to the point that it is a little noticable.. trust me i've done it and my theory has worked. but again, i could be wrong with COS-DS. oh well.
[G1 Android Development] b1czu:
Just got same issue(cant flash recovery by rom manager or flash_image), but solved it out! I get into this trouble by trying flash amon-ra recovery from rom manager while having CMR (wanted to switch CMR->AMON). To solve it I had to:

-boot phone in fastboot, and from pc enter

fastboot erase recovery

-reboot g1 and let it load

-open terminal emulator (I'm using connectbot) and enter (I've done it in pure sh, no bash loaded)

su
flash_image recovery C:\name_of_recovery.img

-now you should have no errors

-try reboot to recovery, it should work now!
[G1 Android Development] drbobb:
I don't think I'm the only one having this issue. I would really love to continue using this awesome and well-developed ROM, but damn I need a working GPS..........
[G1 Android Development] robuser007:
With the kernel from 05/06 I don't have a problem with my gps.

Are there issues with the kernel from 18/05 (the no drain kernel)?: with the latest COS, my phone went slow after a day of use (I'm using kernel 05/06).
[G1 Android Development] smashman42:
running fastboot erase stopped the errors during flashing via terminal emulator that I was getting but the recovery still stalls at the same point for me :(

I'd forgotten fastboot erase still works in .0013d even though I've used it to erase system recently (a few rom flashes & nandroid restores before the recovery disappeared) :o

I was always running RA & it just disappeared, it didn't become corrupt from trying to flash via rom manager, I'd done nothing since the last rom & kernel flash, went to recovery to try another wipe & start again & it was borked

My Phone has the original digitizer .. but I believe it isn't the problem.

With the Cyanogen 6.1 I don't have this problem.

This ROM is great but ... my phone is slower and I have this problems.

Anyone has tips to configure this ROM to get this faster ?
[G1 Android Development] cybernetus:
I use the my_former_self guide to Cyanogen 6.1 for configure this ROM and I get this faster.

I disable JIT and I don't see the option to disable Compcache.

Anyone known where this option on this ROM ?
[G1 Android Development] Maxamillion:
Its in the OP

"Compcache (Which now can be enabled/disabled under Settings/App) is set 20 MB for 32b devices(size can't be changed atm),

32a devices have it disabled by default .

Jit on

Cpu 245/528

Vm heap 16

HOME_APP is set to be killed rarely

Dithering is disabled (no option to put it up atm) makes things to slow for us

Assets are purgable, this allows us to free more RAM (no option to put it off atm)

Lagacy a2sdext enabled if ext partition is found"
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
This used to be like cm for dream.. now its getting farther and farther away from cm....
[G1 Android Development] cybernetus:
Hey maximo360 :) Thanks for you answer.

I will test this tips on my phone :)

But, without JIT I believe this is more faster for me :)
[G1 Android Development] Maxamillion:
Wait these are not tips, these are the default settings found in the first page of this thread, this was for disabling compcahe..

to disable compcahe go to Settings-App

my settings are the default ones

except i have jit disabled because its faster for me as well,

and i have cpu set to 352 min, and 576 max on the ondemand setting

@Roalex

Hey! I just want to agree with a lot of the people here -- we appreciate your work! I know that there are things that I do at work that my "customers" sometimes are amazed by and I think it's just second nature, nothing special (like when I write a batch file at work to automate something like cleaning out temp files and defragging a hard drive). They think it's amazing, and to me it's just, "meh". I'm sure putting together a ROM becomes similar in time, but to us it's still amazing. Plus, I know how much time goes into programming. I couldn't do it (why I don't, and why I depend on the likes of you, ezT, FR, Cyanogen, and everyone else in your credits).

You and your peers really do breathe new life into old hardware and you have helped me keep an investment I could barely afford at the time an invaluable tool in a time when I can't afford to replace it.

THANK YOU.

I'd like to say more but I keep getting pulled away literally every ten seconds so I'm going to post this or else I never will.

[More]

I know we ask for a lot of things but I also know this is your ROM. I respect that you set it up however it works best for you. The only thing I ask is for the option to change things that can be changed. That's one thing I liked for so long about COS-DS was that it seemed like everything could be changed from within the UI without need to download special apps or redirect output of "echo" to a text file somewhere. Made experimentation a lot easier.

Thanks again!

Just look at ezterry's post here in this thread (#2810). It's becaue init.d is quashed since a view updates ago (look for init.d in the history at OP).

so han can i put the 30buildswap into the init.d.i need it boot in the sys boot

CM for Dream is stagnant whereas COS-DS pushes ahead with regular updates. Is this a problem?
[G1 Android Development] Paul Shirley:
little OT: Maps 5.x cripples my G1

Anyone else having problems with Google Maps right now or a slow/crashing phone?

Maps 5.5.x is running a whole pile of background listeners and services that just don't want to stop. It's pushed my G1 with COS over the edge into unusability. Most noticeably I can't install and start apps reliably from Eclipse and see spontaneous reboots if I try too often.

The folk complaining about resets and other breakage might want to check what version they're running. I downgraded to 5.2.1 and the phone is behaving much better, with the bonus Maps 5.2 is much faster anyway.

BTW: I suspect Amazon's market app is causing similar chaos, logs suggest it's monitoring way more than it should be. Uninstalled it before confirming that though.
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
This was cm for dream and in the latest updates its getting less cm like
[G1 Android Development] Unrelashade:
insufficient storage error without ext

I've got the same error as these two. I'm pretty sure it's a bug. Did try several wipes and everything mentioned here, still no solution. Is there a fix for that problem? Will there be? Would be really cool, because I love this Rom!

BTW, someone else getting a FC when touching Settings > About phone? And COS Settings > Add gesture (button)? Else, perfect Rom. Fast and power saving for my worn out G1 ;)
[G1 Android Development] cybernetus:
Well, I come back to my old ROM configuration.

I will test this ROM on another time :)

But, congratulations. This is the best 2.3.4 ROM I used ... :)
[G1 Android Development] drbobb:
There is really lots of awesome in this ROM and I greatly appreciate the dev work that went into making it. Although I am currently downgrading to froyo (CM6.1), because there I can at least get a GPS fix in 2-3 minutes, while on gingerbread there seems to be no solution in sight for non-working GPS, and I have no idea how to even start on this issue.

I do agree though that of the gingerbread ports for D/S, this one is by far the best (and I tried five in total).
[G1 Android Development] obiwanbartek:
I've noticed the same situation with newest Google Maps (5.5.0). After update phone gets unusable. Google Maps 5.3.1 runs like a charm, I won't update until it is fixed.

About JIT, I found that with JIT ON Sygic Mobile Maps 10 (v8.24) closes much more often than with JIT OFF. It gets just closed, without any error or FC, just freezes for 15-20 sec and phone is returning to launcher. Couldn't find any impact on another applications with JIT OFF.

Maybe it is related to free RAM. I personally prefer Swap than CompCache (where CompCache is better than Swap?). I have got very fast SD class 6 (20MB/s read, 18MB/s write on PC Card Reader, I know in phone it is slower), bought especially for swap, and I think swap option would be much better on my SD than CompCache. And much larger ;)
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Guys you are missing the big picture here, if our devices could run CM easy then be sure the CM team would build for Dream/Sapphire, this is not the case. This Rom is a mix, while keeping all the CM toys i have to adapt how the rest works in order for things to be usable, most of the tweaks have been develop by Ezterry, he is a coder, he knows he's way around meaningless(for most of us) lines ! For him would be no challenge to tweak of CM's repo, so thats why he has hes own ROM in which he adds what he knows is important enough to add, which always will make hes product better, but some can't settle with clean roms :)

Also i never intended to copy/cut CM, to pretend this is a CM product, quite the contrary, while still keeping CM's toys so far we have a functional product, which was the goal, just checkout one of the earlier builds where things did look more like CM, the rom wasnt very fast.

I was sure ppl get the point, it seams not, so thats it.
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
Compcache always starts off great, but it always bogs down much faster than swap, while giving you much less extra RAM in the process. I'll see how 6/8 runs...

Whooa, I never said this was a bad ROM. I actually think its a great ROM. I just think it used to be better that's all. There's really no reason to get so mad about it. I appreciate your work. I wish I could do half the stuff you do.

And I don't have a ROM. Just a ROM I shared with the community. I actually referred the Dev of that ROM to your Github. Im sorry if I upset you. Ill stay out of this thread and stop "spamming it" as you say. I thought it was ok to express opinion. Guess not.
[G1 Android Development] almostthere:
Been on compcache since 0531 and I can say that sluggishness compared to with swap enabled is not as bad previously. What I don't get is why is there people so say JIT is a bug eventhough since the beginning of GB JIT has been much improved. Have yet to see an app (except FB but that's been since Froyo) that FC's anymore on my phone. In fact maps 5.5 works fine on mine. Abit slow perhaps but works
[G1 Android Development] cityeyes:
Roalex, I don't know if it's been said before in this particular thread, but I suggest that you put something in the main post instructing those that are having slowdown/freezing problems try fix permissions.

I thought the last few builds were duds until I was instructed in another thread that running fix permissions may help those of us who are getting big slowdown and pegged CPU (I was definitely getting both, my Android was getting HOT for no reason).

Ran fix permissions tonight and everything is super fast again. Love it. I also love that Launcher 2 stays in memory so well. It's awesome.

Any help with this? Have fastboot erased recovery & flashing still fails. ADB partially works in the corrupt recovery but not enough to try flashing the recovery again (can't mount /sdcard to get the file to flash, mount -a hangs)

[G1 Android Development] roalex:
i guess it would be best :) im sure you knew that one's coming!
[G1 Android Development] obiwanbartek:
@roalex: Cyanogen is not developing on Dream/Sapphire not because CM doesn't work on D/S well, but because he moved to another phone (Nexus One I think), and there isn't any maintainer for D/S anymore as for the moment. That's the reason. If someone would take care of the D/S branch, Cyanogen said he will resume to publish CM for D/S, but he will not code for it personally.

As for the speed of COS-DS, I think it is one of the fastest GB ROMs now. But it is fast only for itself, and who uses G1 only with ROM, without any applications? When you install applications (not so many), it sometimes gets really slow (especially when opening Contacts, or when calling). And I didn't say that JIT is a bug, I said that JIT causes Sygic Mobile Maps 10 to close (but not FC) very often.

HINT

i didn`t know that:

if you set unlock style to "sliding", you can`t choose what to be the 4th action. but if you first choose the action for "rotary", it will be available as the 4th action (which is messaging by default) on "sliding tab" also (beside phone/unlock/sound on-off).

that`s nice :)

Latest builds (04 and 08) are so well done, so I can't even complain about anything. I absolutely love in/out call screen style; it's so handy and useful!

BTW, Roalex, could you also add up the link to download a new kernel builds (in flashable zip) for your ROM..may be to the 1st posting...thanks.
[G1 Android Development] inportb:

two issues with 0608

I'm having two issues with 0608:

1) The black list seems to have disappeared from the phone app, am i blind?

2) Wireless Tether is giving me all sorts of trouble. It starts and runs fine on the phone but any laptop I connect from loses connectivity after ~ 3 minutes. Disconnecting and reconnecting to the AP restores connectivity for another 3 minutes and then it fails again. I REALLY need tether to work as we are in the process of opening new offices and our ISP is waiting on some equipment to arrive.

Any thoughts on wireless tether? I've read flashing alternate kernels could fix this but I've never flashed a kernel and don't want to break what is otherwise an excellent build.

Thanks in advance for any insight.
[G1 Android Development] cityeyes:
I don't know if you have done it already, but try running fix permissions. I was having problems like these until I noticed on Ezterry's thread that messed up permissions were causing massive slowdown and CPU spikes. Ran fix permissions last night and everything is crazy fast with 100+ applications.
[G1 Android Development] Sheist!:
Since you are sitting by the laptop anyway, use wired tether. It still works in COS-DS (knock on wood!), and you won't kill your G1 battery while it grabs juice from the laptop USB port.

Tethering is under Wireless and Networks.

Wireless tether is neat, but frankly with the laptop plugged in and the phone 3 inches from my laptop, it makes no sense to use wireless tether... and never tried using wireless as a hotspot for multiple machines at one , which would probably be too slow for more than one anyway!
