It wworked. I copied from my system apps to my sdcard wwhile I was on 0504. When I updated I just side loaded the apps from my sdcard.... now they are in my extra. :-)
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Are the ones I uploaded not working though?
[G1 Android Development] juaninamillion:
Didn't work for me
[G1 Android Development] juaninamillion:
I liked the home menu on the old ADW.... any way to just change that?
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
I side-loaded them too and I had issues. Weird. I'll try ADB tomorrow to see if that works.
[G1 Android Development] mimox:
As I seem to be the only one having bad issues with the latest ROM, please help me :)

My setup:

- Radio 2.22.28.25

- SPL 1.33.0013d

- 2GB SD with 512MB sd-ext, which contains all my apps

How do I need to initiate the wipe/reflash in order to save most of my stuff? E.g. have access to my sd-ext apps at least, maybe also carry over account settings etc?
[G1 Android Development] psychosonic:
Save all user apps via Titanium Backup.

Wipe everything via recovery.

Also use Superwipev2 to be safe since you don't sound like you've done this.

Flash the update.

Go to the market, download Titanium Backup, and restore the missing apps. Don't use the batch option for restoring apps though, it can produce a lot of problems. You have to restore them one by one.

You aren't gong to just "carry over" your installations, it's a wipe. This is the best you can do, but you really don't lose much other than some system settings.
[G1 Android Development] mimox:
So, it's not just possible to leave the apps on sd-ext and have the next ROM reuse the partition?

Update: I just did as you said, using MyBackup Pro instead of Titanium and it seems to have worked very well indeed! Thanks for the hint to use superwipe, I guess this fixed my problem.
[G1 Android Development] mimox:
The latest ROM performs great! Thanks a lot!

One thing: the battery icon seems to be a bit blurry around the edges, is it scaled down?
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Ill try to post them again soon.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
I do that. I have not noticed any problems directly related to that. Only thing was that one time when Roalex changed something about how a2sd-ext worked and suddenly none of my apps showed up -- until I enabled a2sd-ext in settings, and there they all were. Best thing since hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com started posting cartoons, as it meant I no longer had to spend hours across weeks getting all my apps back and "just the way I liked them" when I needed to wipe. Makes wiping less scary.

Edit: mind you, I haven't tried that moving from one ROM to the other... only from one version of a ROM to a newer version of the same ROM branding.
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
In 2.3.3 (and thus 2.3.4) they added in many additional battery levels,

They also tried to make the green part "glow" so the green/orange/red will look a bit fuzzy (in my opinion the glow look failed and is just fuzzy) but the battery otherwise looks fine

the 75% level:

[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
I don't have it enabled, but pressing menu unlocks the device. I just did a clean install. Is anyone else having that issue?
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Same here, but its hardly an issue. I didn't even notice till you said something. :)
[G1 Android Development] psychosonic:
After wipe-flashing 5/6, News and Weather force closes on me, giving a message that GenieWidget stopped. I've fixed permissions and rebooted, cleared the data, deleted its folder in SDcard/Android/data, and also tried redownloading the zip, extracting GenieWidget.apk from it, and pushing it to system/apps in recovery, but the problem continues. Any fix for this? This is pretty important, seeing how I can't open the alarm app.

Edit: Just now wiped the Dalvik cache, issue resolved. That was worrisome.
[G1 Android Development] HostFat:
It seems that it doesn't update the time/clock from the net.

Is it an Android's bug or a rom's bug?
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
or a provider bug.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Been a couple days. Must be a good one in the works. Can't wait. :)
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
If you have just the 2d gallery then all you need to do is side load it. That's what I did. It really is better resolution. Its very nice. Just download and install as normal.
[G1 Android Development] enelyam:
I think that older versions were a lot more stable. And less laggy in fact. Of course thats just my phone, i did not have many issues that i have seen people complaining about. Now im the one having a lot of FC and issues with the market and stuff. So i guess thats just the way it goes. I have a question also, has someone in here tried a live wallpaper and or the LAUNCHER application instead of the ADW with some sucess? Im asking just because i tried to use the LAUNCHER and it seems like its just too much for the phone. Also the live wallpaper(Matrix in my case) took forever to load and when the phone went to stanby the wallpaper never made it back there. Anyways, no that important. Just asking...
[G1 Android Development] psychosonic:
Ok, this has rebooted on me twice now, while it was just idling on my desk. Should I get a logcat after this happens again? Or is there some other log I should get?
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
I think this is the most stable build yet. Live wallpapers are worthless with these phones.
[G1 Android Development] TriforceKommando:
For me the older versions seemed faster, too.

Regarding Live Wallpapers: I think it's normal with our old phones.. ^^

(Dream with new radio)
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
A logcat right before the reboot woul help most. And if it's a full reboot (sends you to the splash then bootanimation) then a copy of /proc/last_kmsg would be helpful too
[G1 Android Development] psychosonic:
Ok, messaging started force closing. I deleted the data, and it continued. I rebooted to recovery and wiped the dalvik cache, and then it wouldn't boot, looping at the bootanimation. Of course, Clockwork Recovery is essentially the Mac of recoveries and won't let me look for a nandroid backup I made with Amon Ra previously, so I ditched it, went back to Amon Ra, and went back to an april build.

Way too many bloody problems for use.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
I'm bored. I need a new build to play with. Lol :)
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
The builds great. Most stable one yet. Its gotta be something you did.
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
Y'know... this build is pretty snappy! I like this one. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] psychosonic:
Doesn't sound terribly possible, seeing how I wiped user data via clockwork (system, cache, sd ext), dalvik cache, superwipe2, and then did both steps again for good measure, before flashing. I also had to reflash it the other day, and it had the same rebooting problem then as well.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Then is stuff you are restoring, if there was such an issue i can assure you i'd notice it too!
[G1 Android Development] Galaxen:
I have a question/issue, not that its due to the ROM but since Im running this ROM I thought maybe someone here could point me to the right direction.

How come my emails (from my gmail account) dont get pushed to my phone directly? Sync etc is on but sometimes I dont get the emails unless I open the gmail app and refresh.. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] Paul Shirley:
With the 0505 version I finally managed a long browsing session with background music not dropping out every few minutes, the rom's getting better. Did have to taskkill everything 1st but it's still an improvement!

Any chance of adding a 'lock music in ram' option to settings?
[G1 Android Development] enelyam:
For me its no big deal the live wallpapers cus i know its an old phone. The lag though is a big deal, so i will flash the 0509 and if it keeps lagging on my phone i will flash an older version. At least one i can recall was working absolutely perfect. Anyways like i said, not a big deal for me. I love the rom and i never thought my G1 could work and look like this :)
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
that is my focus, to make it run as smooth as it can, reset are extras ;)
[G1 Android Development] sb56637:
Portable Wi-FI hotspot?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering whatever happened to the "portable Wi-Fi hotspot" that was advertised for Android 2.2. I can't seem to find it on any of the custom Gingerbread ROMs. Or is another 3rd part app even better? Personally I do think that this feature should be available out of the box on COS-DS.

Great ROM, thanks to everyone involved!
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Just doesn't work on Dream.
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
Android Tether is broken for me. I downloaded it. It started on the May6 ROM and it's still happening on the May 9th one. Does it work for you on the latest one?

BTW, I already did ADB install -r wireless_tether..... .apk

I still have that issue.
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
I had to post again to point out that wifi is broken in the latest version. Wifi fix zip didn't work.
[G1 Android Development] psychosonic:
Ugh, I was afraid of that. What log should I look at, should it boot loop again?
[G1 Android Development] psychosonic:
What about that one wireless tether that was provided a couple builds ago? That definitely works, at least on 5/6 and earlier. I use it all the time.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Works fine here. the wifi fix was for the other version lol, its just some modules in there now if you flash that over the new build it will surely not work
[G1 Android Development] b1czu:
You've to manually turn on syncing gmail in Settings/Accounts & Sync/"Your Account Name"/Sync Gmail.

BTW in Polish translation there is "Ustawienia CyanogenMod" instead of "Ustawienia COS" (COS Settings) in Settings. :)
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
He's right about the manual adding of gmail. I've had issues with gmail for a long time now. Its gotta be a gmail problem. I've had issues with it syncing on other roms also. It needs an update.
[G1 Android Development] b1czu:
No problems here with gmail, it "sync instantly" when new mail arrives.
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
I started off with may 6 version after a full wipe, and only restored user apps. I did flash the new version. Wifi and wifi tethering still don't work.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Both work fine here.
[G1 Android Development] enelyam:
Wooohooo! My phone is up and running very fast again. It is a very fast rom now, and gotta love the internal space with the recent versions. I can see Roalex has done a great job cleaning the useless settings and some other stuff inside the rom. Now i just have to delete the music application to replace it for the miui music apk. So far no FC or anything like that, market is running great so i am very happy now :)
[G1 Android Development] Maxamillion:
You guys, does this rom faster without compcache(zram) or with it???
[G1 Android Development] tom0769:
With compcache there is a compression/decompression algorithm needed, which of course takes cpu load and time. Maybe there is a speed benefit if let's say you close an app and your home app could reside in ram. So it shows immediately.
[G1 Android Development] smashman42:
Same 0505 version, ran Gmaps Navigate with music in background, music paused/unpaused successfully with Nav speech (or just kept playing with Nav muted) - sure 64mb swap partition or it wouldn't have worked but prior releases trying this with same config would have music crash all the time or even soft/hard reboot.

Definite improvements being made :cool:
[G1 Android Development] timoskrempel:
I am running COS-DS for a few days on my G1 and it is struggling with the services and the amount of RAM. Basically, not all services fit into memory and they are constantly killed and restarted (watching settings->application->running services). That slows the system down and does not let the device go to sleep. Even the launcher locked to memory is getting killed pretty much immediately after starting another app.

I am running google voice and maps (for latitude) as services (and things like google services, android keyboard, messaging of course). Nothing else. That consumes something like 70-80mb.

It this just an inherent gingerbread problem? Is there anything I can do to improve this (swap maybe? I always had sluggish performance with it in the past)? What is the preferred compcache setting (I tried all options, but the problem persists)? Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] psychosonic:
>using a g1

>not using swap

Wut
[G1 Android Development] timoskrempel:
I guess you are trying to tell me that everyone with a G1 uses swap. Okay, I gave it another try:

1. deactivated compcache

2. activated 64mb swap (using the swapper for root app, so I can try different swap sizes without repartitioning)

3. "free" shows swap is working, phone runs great for roughly 20 minutes

4. I opened the market to update an app

5. Suddenly the phone slows down to a crawl and does not recover. Going back to the home screen takes 20 seconds, "app stopped responding" dialogs appear, phone becomes unusable.

6. I reboot and let it sit for a few minutes. Trying to wake it to unlock the screen: same slowness again. It recovered after a while, but I could not pick up a call before voice mail kicks in.

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
In my opinion: yes. Nothing you can do about it. Had this with any GB-Rom I tried. And yes, tried them all. And yes, I wiped.

No, apps will constantly get killed and reloaded. Gingerbread on our devices is a single-task-affair. Multitasking is impossible. Literally.

None. Hence I'm (again) back to Cya 5.08 with a 2708 kernel. Fast. Stable. Able to multitask. Receiving all text messages. Bliss. ;)
[G1 Android Development] psychosonic:
Wow, you are doing it so wrong. Swap set to 10, compcache set to 18, heap set to 32. I can multitask several apps, with minimal lag. This thing almost never hangs, except when first starting an app.
[G1 Android Development] ximmox:
I second that opinion (while using other settings, 64MB Swap only) and am able to multitask, running the browser, twicca, sms-app and contacts simultaneously right now and can switch between those without any lag or reloading.

psychosonic: Have you tried disabling compcache and using more swap instead?

For me the phone is definitely more snappy when only using swap (but I have a class6 SD-card, Swap ist NOT beneficial for everyone and CC definitely easier to setup (for the ones that WILL start complaining that swap has only disadvantages... :rolleyes: ))
[G1 Android Development] vion77:
Bad call reception

I flashed the 05062011 cosds rom and it is much faster than the 19042011 cosds or CM6.1 307 but i have one big problem: the call quality is very bad. i can't have a full conversation without interruption of the sound. this problem was not present in cm6.1 :| and not so much annoying in 04192011 cosds.

Any suggestions are welcome !

My phone info:

htc magic 32B(from vodafone germany)

radio:2.22.28.25

hboot: 1.33.0013d

rom:cos-ds 05062011
[G1 Android Development] Poppu:
Well, for me (HTC Magic) the swap solution is quite good for multitask. With Compcache off (with both of them on, it's sluggish). So I guess he can at least try it and see by himself (Swapper 2 for Root user is a good way to try).
[G1 Android Development] psychosonic:
Well, I have a class 4 card, would that still be beneficial? What swap level do you recommend?

Also, question about the battery: I was able to get it working perfectly, and the battery charge was excellent. I decided to optimise the battery (bump charge and deleting batt stats, but I used an app to delete the stats). After deleting the stats at 100%, I let the phone drain to nothing, then chareged without stop till full when I went to sleep. I've done this every time I've flashed after a wipe, and it's done well to help the battery. Bhowever, after several hours today of not using the phone once, it's drained to 30%. And charging for 10 minutes sent it up to 50%; clearly something is wrong. Any ideas on what I did wrong, or what I can do? Maybe try the optimisation again? The weird thing is that the battery was doing great when I tried to drain to 0 last night, I had to run so many different things to make it 0 within a few hours.

I should also note that the android os is at 60% right now, despite a reboot and not having used adb once since flashing.
[G1 Android Development] Poppu:
I have a class 2 only, and even like this it's better than with compcache (using a swap partition of 96MB, I know it's too much but I don't want to repartion again...).

However, this is my case, it may depend of your usage... Worth a try, let's say 64MB with a low level of swapiness. Personnaly I use 10 and it's largely enough.
[G1 Android Development] ximmox:
I suppose it would still be beneficial even with class4, as Poppu said he's doing fine with class2, but the faster the card the better.

I can't really recommend special settings, I've never tried anything else then my 64MB partition and have a very fast phone currently.

Swappiness is set to 20, but I didn't notice any huge impact when trying 30, too,

so for me it just works. ;)
[G1 Android Development] Maxamillion:
roalex, how come u have adw as the default launcher when i have tried launcher pro and i find it smoother than adw. is it becuz of the memory usage? or what is it?
[G1 Android Development] bhrich902:
Exchange not syncing...

just did a search for exchange on this thread and didn't see an answer, so. I flashed 05092011 last night and everything seems to be working fine except my exchange account is not synchronizing. I noticed this because nothing shows up on the notification bar since last night (there's plenty of new email too). any thoughts?. thanks in advance, and thanks for the rom.

tmobile mytouch3g 32b 2825 radio.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Because adw is 100 times better. Launcher pro is nice to though. But not as much.
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
and adw is open source. launcher pro aint
[G1 Android Development] cityeyes:
For the first time that I can remember, I'm having a lot of problems with COS DS. In the last two builds, I've had a lot of crashes while using GPS and my battery life has been pretty bad. The big delay between the phone ringing and the caller appearing is back for me as well.

Four or so days back my phone would last the whole day until I plugged my phone in at 11:00, now I'm lucky if it lasts me until 2 with no GPS and no passive browsing. I'm going to try to recalibrate, but I don't know why it would work so well for so long and then suddenly go bad on me.

I have no idea why I'm getting the GPS crashes, but while out on a bike ride last night using my GPS the whole time, my phone rebooted four times over the period of an hour.
[G1 Android Development] Maxamillion:
and why is adw better?
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Way more customization options. (ADW EX). One thing it does need is some Widgets like LP. LP lacks a lot of options and customizations. Back to the topic though.
[G1 Android Development] psychosonic:
The customization options are pretty worthless if our phones make it 5 times slower than the free alternative.

...this is relevant how? GIMP is open-source. Doesn't keep it from being a steaming pile of garbage.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
ADW runs great on my phone. Its gotta be you. Anyways discussion over. There is no debate, adw is proven to better. Period!
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
The old debate over what launcher is best. With the older generation phones I think the best launcher is the one that uses less space and less memory. I still haven't found one I really like. I ether use adw or Zeam launcher (I often switch back and forth).
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
Is there a android fix for GPS tracking (or encryption), like we see on the iPhone other then third party software? Or are we still waiting for a fix from Google? Would be nice to see it encrypted on this ROM.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Why ADW, you ask?

Also @psychosonic, referring to the analogy of this situation to the GIMP... I think what Roalex is saying is that he can only include apps that don't have traditional, limited licenses, so anything you'd normally have to download from market (possibly paying for, IDK about Launcher Pro personally) can't really be included. Not that this stops other people, mind you,and IDK the licenses of any of the included apps, so I may well be dead wrong...

Not sure how GAPPS fits into all that though, given the Cyanogenmod C&D letters... and I'm wondering if that wasn't at least part of the reason for wifi-tether and the other app being removed.
[G1 Android Development] olmedo.david:
N00bish question (or is it?)

First off, Thanx for such a great rom. I recently discovered this rom and loved it since flashing it and leaving CM6.1.

However, recently I started to notice my wifi constantly turning itself on without me doing it manually as well as my ringer changing itself back to ring/vibe in the power widget. Is it me or are there any others out there having the same issue?:confused::confused:

I've also been having problems with services being killed off and restarting constantly since 05012011 and have no idea why. :eek: Anybody out there have any ideas or is the services being killed so often just a part of the rom?

Here's my setup:

T-mo G1 32b

SPL: 1.33.0013d

Radio: 28.25

everything else is default

Any ideas and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Swappiness 30 will "flood" the Swapfile for sure. After a few hours or using a high number of apps the Swap will be 100% full. A reboot will be necessary. Only when using a (very) low amount of Swappiness (10/15/max 20) will negate this.

I find it truly amazing that people will find their phone "very fast" using these settings. Then again, if it works for you: great! ;)
[G1 Android Development] crz6662:
Running 8GB Class 6 and I see a difference from a class 2. Rooted G1.
[G1 Android Development] ximmox:
Sorry, it's currently only 20 indeed... :p

But as stated, I don't notice any major differences to 30 and even with 30 which I used the past few weeks, I never had to reboot due to slowness.

If "free" is a good indicator (tbh I don't know any other way I could check), my swap always has a minimum of 20-25 MB (of 64) free.

So as Pfeffernuss said: Experiment with lower swappiness settings first. ;)
[G1 Android Development] psychosonic:
swappy 10's been working fine for me, so this isn't really a problem, but what if you're using a swap partition instead of a file? I'm currently using a 32 mb partition.
[G1 Android Development] Poppu:
I was too when I tried it the first time, especially as as I said I have only a class 2. Phone is a little bit long to load everything after a reboot, but once done it works nice. Switching between applications may be a little bit slower, but the front application is clearly more reactive than with no swap or with compcache.

And the main benefit for me is that widgets and services which were closed before now can continue to run. Best examples are the "clock-type" widgets which do not freeze anymore.

So I suppose it depends of the usage, if you don't use too much widgets and / or background services, maybe you have only the drawbacks and no benefice.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
For anyone who cares, the debate and hearing on the att and T-Mobile merger is on cspan right now.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
At somewhat popular request i have added the former ADW "look" but without the lag, hopefully, have fun :)
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Hey Roalex, If you ever get the chance could you add the ability to change the clock color in the COS Settings? I would really love that option. Just a thought. :D
[G1 Android Development] lunotown:
I'm getting significant battery drain and occasional shutdowns, even when the battery shows charge. I'm thinking I might just have a battery problem, but wanted to see if anybody else is having similar issues or more knowledge of what may be going on.
