I had the same issue. The problem seems to be corrected by resetting the max cpu frequency to 528MHz. Otherwise the consuming application make the phone reboot.
[G1 Android Development] Khizzer:
can you make the adw launcher look like the stock gingerbread launcher it would look really awesome

please try to do that if its possible
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
I would also like the adw launcher to look like the stock gingerbread. I like adw better then the stock launcher do to the more options.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
ain't that cute ? BUT is wrong !!! :D

On a more serious note there will be a Gallery flashable.

p.s there is an amazing clean, fast rom which is as close as it can be to the stock, im referring to EzGingerbread and the different forks, i advice everybody to use it if thats the kind of rom you are looking for, i know Terry is working on quite a few other toys for it as well not to mention that he actually develop all the tweaks needed to even run GB on our oldish devices :)
[G1 Android Development] Khizzer:
But launcher2 does not have 3d drawer and not even the gingerbread look
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
Um... Launcher2 is the Launcher included in Gingerbread (agreed there is a Froyo version of Launcher2 that is not the same as the Gingerbread version)

As for ADW.. doesn’t that have theme support that is independent of the rom.. meaning to install one all you need do is search market for a theme?

Something silly maybe like ADW Gingerbread Theme
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
roalex do you have Google+? If so I would like to add you to my circle.
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
Is there any reason you aren't using the +15mb hack (aka 0013d)? That's one of the reasons you're constantly running out of memory. Yes, out of memory even if you see 40mb+ available.

Without any heavy user apps running in the background, cos-ds is very fast at it's default vm settings, even on my G1. So if you're having problems after a flesh install, you should check your logcat to see what is causing the slowness.

If you MUST have Maps (w/Latitude) and Voice and Skype and YourFavoriteApp... You MUST live with the lagness (like me:o). But increasing the CompCache to 20mb helped my situation. My notification bar takes less than a second to show up, and the dialer comes up in less than 5-6 seconds w/heavy load of backbround processes cached in and out of RAM. I only feel the pain after a long idle; it can take over 10 seconds for the phone to properly wake up and be ready sometimes. Yeah, I miss a few phone calls a week, but knowing that I made that choice makes me feel a lot better.

Regarding CM6, if you don't really care about any of the features in GingerBread+ezGB+cos-ds, going back to it is a viable option. I used to go back to the nighly #285 a lot, but not anymore (for over 3mo now).

I can't understand why people are still complaining about battery life... G1 batteries are like a couple of dollars a piece nowadays. Heck, I have my Wireless Tether turned on almost always I go out!:D

EDIT: I just noticed that roalex upped the CC in his new release. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
See if you can settle with Ownhere's Google maps 4.7 (recommended on the first post with a link) as they are much lighter on the phone.
[G1 Android Development] xda<3:
The things is.. I don't even have google maps at all. lol and it's still acting slow.. I'll try the new update. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] xda<3:
So the new update is supposed to help with the speed? That's great! The only reason I have DangerSPL is because I frequently use CM6 which uses this spl... Never tried flashing that spl.. Does it work with the ebi1 kernel ?
[G1 Android Development] xda<3:
ERRR... Just flashed the new ROM, there is some improvement with the loading of apps but..... I don't have the Market app.fail.
[G1 Android Development] Sheist!:
Not the 3d Gallery again?!

PLEASE post a link to download the 2d Gallery!

I thought we had wisely seen the last of that dreaded, slow, monster 3d Gallery, but here it is again. :( :eek:

If you won't remove it, then please (twice!) put a link to the .apk for the 2d Gallery so I can revert back to it after ROM flashes. The 2d Gallery is perfect in my view, whereas the 3d Gallery is not meant for this phone.

***** UPDATE ***** - Found the link for the 2d Gallery, on the first page! Thanks. Now I can press on with more ROM flashes and not hate myself. ;)
[G1 Android Development] ehb224:
Currently I am running GreenRomProject and it is extremely fast for me with ezTerry's 1.5 kernel. I nioticed with COS that if I had any apps on SD it slowed me down so I had apps on interanal or SD-EXT but did not move data. I also did not have this issue with the unofficial cm 7.1 nightly posted here on XDA nor with Firerat's newest Magpie builds. I have not tried EzGinger or ADSMagpie since last month so I cannot comment on their newest builds but theu seemed marginally faster if my memory serves me correctly.
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
OK, now I think I know. What was the size of system mtd the Danger gives you? I forgot. But it sounds like you are running out of the space for the rom to fit. Go check your recovery log. You need 90mb+ to install this rom.

Be sure to grab the custom MTD. With it and ezTerry's ram hack (radio&spl), your G1 runs much better (even on CM6).

With regards to CM6 requiring Danger, there are many workarounds for that. The easiest solution at that time was to fool it by using FireRat's custom MTD. People with CWM recovery can tell you if it allows you to bypass the check, too. I don't go back to CM6 any more so I don't know if there are easier workarounds.

Don't worry about the kernel. EzTerry has a nice kernel for CM6 on G1. The only issue with it was the battery/USB drain. But you do have the issue without his kernel anyway, right?

I hope I don't sound too demanding by saying 'install this and that'. I just want every G1 users to be taking the full advantage of the phone before giving it up. It's so sad that many people are moving on to new devices, leaving us here. Hehe, tbh, I might just go out and buy a new toy if flashing a new rom on G1 becomes too boring. It's a hoby, you know.;)
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Yep. G1 is a great platform, kinda reminds me of my ol' TRS-80 CoCo Model II.

Seriously, the G1 is outdated. That said, I have yet to find a phone today that I think will last me as long as this one has... the G2 and the new Sidekick 4G are very tempting, and frankly, it's a good thing I can't afford either or this G1 would become a simple remote control for a computer, or get thrown in my telescope equipment bag and only be used for finding stars and leveling the tripod.

Actually, it would be quite decent for that last use... wondering if there's a way to use the USB as a control port for a Meade LX-200-class Autostar controller interface......

It's just a great phone -- for its time. It's still the first phone I'm going to hold on to after being upgraded as it will still be perfectly useful without a SIM card. Slap Linux on it and make that scope control if nothing else.

And thanks to Open Source, Google, Cyanogen, Roalex, EZTerry, Firerat/Effdee and everyone else like them, it will continue to be viable until just about nobody uses them as phones anymore, and even then I think there may be a slight cult following of people who will continue to find crazy new things to do with it.

[G1 Android Development] 4qu4rius:
It seems a lot of people recently traded their first-gen Android phone (G1, Magics,... even later ones like Desire) for a Galaxy S II. I did exactly that and I'm very happy with this choice. A lot of horse-power & RAM, for future use, un unlocked bootloader. It seems battery life is the only trade-off that I would have done differently: I'd gladly have a 2mm thickier phone with a 3Ah battery.
[G1 Android Development] drbobb:
Do there actually exist any recent phones with decent battery capacity/life?

Back on topic, unfortunately the battery drain on the newest COS release is ridiculous. I hoped it would settle to a reasonable level within a little time, but no such thing. I'm looking at downgrading to some earlier release, but I can't remember anymore which was the last one that had decent power performance - can anybody help?
[G1 Android Development] 4qu4rius:
Maybe that's not the ideal solution for your needs, but ezTerry is currently implementing some nice things in ezGingerbread. In my own personnal tests it was always faster than COS-DS and I'll probably install the next one.
[G1 Android Development] drbobb:
Well I can live with the speed of COS-DS (on a 32a), and I really like the enhancements, but the battery life has become seriously unacceptable (like below 8 hours if the phone is given any use at all).
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Sometimes its just the user, you seam to cry a lot on this topic, maybe you should read a bit more about how to set up things then you would have less issues.

The battery use may be worse then older builds but its not that bad at all.
[G1 Android Development] drbobb:
I'm sorry but I do think I've read quite a bit, but I still don't know how to explain or fix a situation where the phone loses 40% of charge in 6 or 7 hours in airplane mode and with the display off, and battery stats says the display was #1 user of power during this time.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Well if i was you i would test the build id first setup my google account, then set brightness manual (set it light enough to see things i suppose), sync off, 2G and no applications installed, setting up power button > sleep, cpu 128/480.

now if you see still see some crazy drain is something going on, what you do ?

get a logcat, dump dmesg to a file, post them here and we can look into it

You have to realise that our builds are pushed way ahead the original D/S, Dream was limited to 380 Mhz for instance.
[G1 Android Development] map_841:
kernel

You can improve your battery life with changing the kernel. I flashed the "auto-boot-2.6.35.13-farmatito-pershoot-ds+-20110612" kernel from farmatito's kernels thread and the battery life has extended a lot. You can also try one of the other experimental gingerbread kernels. Check the result in Spare parts / battery history.
[G1 Android Development] drbobb:
One technical question, if I leave a logcat running while the phone is supposed to be sleeping (but for some reason, which I want to determine, isn't), won't that by itself prevent the phone from going into sleep mode?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
you put it to sleep, let it be for a while then plug it in and get the logcat/dmesg
[G1 Android Development] xda<3:
Haha thanks for the help. No it's fine, i'll probably end up downloading the ram hack and all. :) And don't worry, i'm not giving up my g1 yet. May be another year still.
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
I am using the default settings you have suggested and I am having battery problems on 7/8 and 7/11. Each was a wipe install. Before that I would get about 2 days before needing to charge. I may try a deferent kernel.
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
I am giving this kernel a try thank you.

So far the kernel is working better then the default kernel and also charges faster. Not sure on battery life yet as I am waiting for a full charge.
[G1 Android Development] cripgballerkundikusu11:
are the new updates for this rom no wipe???????
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
If you do a no wipe the screenshot doesn't work (I wiped before installing 7/8 and installed 7/11 over 7/8 with no problems).

I would also recommend using the kernel suggested in a previous post.
[G1 Android Development] map_841:
Note that wifi is not working with this kernel/ROM combination.
[G1 Android Development] cripgballerkundikusu11:
thanks for the answer
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
The wifi seems to be working for me. Just haven't tried connecting but I can view networks.
[G1 Android Development] map_841:
wifi

If i trying to enable wifi, it says "error". Nothing more. Maybe I should do a full-wipe and try again.
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
I am using a mytouch 3g 32b. Not sure how the kernel works on a 32a or on a dream phone.

So far I am getting better battery life and better performance.
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
By any chance, did you restore your wifi access points using Titanium Backup? I am not saying it is the problem, but I am just curios.

One thing you can try before a full wipe is to delete /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and let the system recreate it. Using a terminal or a adb shell, you can just bype 'mv /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf wpa.bak' and reboot the phone.

If you are familiar with text editors, you can save your current settings just by cut&pasting entries starting with 'network={'.

Your problem may be something different, but it's worth a try.
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
I did a no-wipe update on my G1 and the screenshot does work fine. I forgot which build I had before the update, but can't be more than two releases old.
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
I update each time a update is released. Not sure why it didn't work then even after a fix permissions. Doesn't matter to me as I did a wipe install since I was do for one (I do one about every 5 updates or if the phone feels like it is slowing down.).

I really like the screenshot feature better then any of the market apps for taking screenshots.
[G1 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
My GPS issues are different than before. With navigation, it takes a long time to lock on ("Searching for GPS...") instead of outright force closing every few minutes, it "stalls" (every few minutes... sometimes less) and the screen dims. I've waited a few minutes, with no change, then force-killed it. I'm going to reproduce this on the way home and logcat it, and also test it with WiFi location on at home.

I also noticed that the audio "crackles" when listening to music. I only had 3G Watchdog and Swype running other than Pure Sleep or the Music app. Haven't checked if it also does it with Slacker or Pandora or voice nav. I'm thinking that it could be due to the media being on the microSD card, which could be a sign that it's going to give out soon.

Bluetooth issue

Hi Roalex,

I was hoping you could help me with this... I installed the previous version of this rom (7/7) and hands free bt didnt work, so I went back to CM6.1 nightly 307. BT worked fine when I installed CM, but after I restored all apps it stopped working too.

So I went back to COS-DS (now 7/11) and bluetooth also worked when I finished installing the rom, but it also quit working after I *carefully* restored apps, choosing each one and not restoring any apps related to bt.

Would you have any advice?

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
A logcat would be helpful.

Anyway, when you say 'carefully restore' apps, are you using Titanium or something? Or are you reinstalling all the apps from Market and then restoring the data separately? Some Froyo apps are incompatible with GB, so restoring with Titanium is not going to work. Market would differenciate the Android version and let you install GB version if available.

Data structure may or may not be the same, so you need to be careful restoring the data, too.

That's a general idea, but your problem may be something different. So spit out the logcat and see if you're getting any errors.
[G1 Android Development] marquimsp:
Thanks for your reply!

Yes, I was using titanium indeed, just not using the batch restore function... I selected each app and sometimes deselected the "+data" function. I guess I'll have to be extra careful then...

I'll do the logcat.

I'm also getting the mp3 stutters people have been talking about.

I suppose it's a case of a "little engine that just can't". :mad:

Thanks and I'll do the logcat right now...
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
If you live outside Europe, did you update your /etc/gps.conf with your location? That'll speed up the GPS lock somewhat. But that won't solve your fc's.

With regards to the cracking sound, I've seen many people complaining. Is it the DSP manager? SD? media server? Low memory/cpu?

I don't know if the DSP manager processes audio actively, but I usually disable it to conserve memory...

If it's an SD issue, you should've noticed other problems by now...

As you indicate. it may not be the out-of-memory situation at all... The media server seems to be too sensitive to cpu activities. But to me, running cpu intensive app doesn't really produce cracking sound. Some 'skipping', yes. But I had that problem since way back ever since I started using Navigation. Or do you actually mean 'skipping' when you say 'crackle'?

If you are interested, you can do some diagnostics. First, you can pm disable DSP manager and try playing some tracks. Then, you can copy the same tracks to anywhere on /data and see if it improves. Then, you can run 'top' (or any app that shows realtime cpu usage) and see what processes are using too much cpu cycles at the time you playback music.

Tbh, I personally gave up on listenning to the music in my car using G1 a long time ago. To me, running navigation and still being able to catch incoming calls is more important than playing music. I have several mp3 players in my toybox for that purpose.
[G1 Android Development] psychosonic:
It sounds like several people are having pretty heavy battery issues right now with 7/11. Could everyone who's updated to it report how their battery life is, and whether they did a wipe or no-wipe update?
[G1 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
No, I mean it crackles. Not really skipping, but like static. I don't even have DSP Manager installed. I always remove it.

I tried testing the GPS on the way home, and it stalled again. At home, it took forever to find GPS satellites, but then ran fine. Apparently once I am moving in a car, it craps out.
[G1 Android Development] marquimsp:
Here is my logcat... Hope it helps!
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
I have found that 0627 version does acceptably well for my needs, but keep in mind I hardly use mine because I'm always near a computer lately. Still, it seems to have battery life very similar to older versions.

Found the culprit! Total Recall (call recorder) was somehow blocking calls to bluetooth... Now, after I superwiped, reflashed the rom and restored apps BT works fine.

The mp3 stutters dont seem to happen with power amp, just with the android music player. No stutters even though I was using android dsp ALONG WITH power amps eq unnoticedly!

This rom is great, I tried going back to CM6.1/307 but just couldn't... This is much better.

[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
Oh shoot! I should've mentioned my experience to you, then. I had vrecorder app installed a long time ago. And I have a BT handsfree speaker that can play music as well. One day, it stopped working. I could still play music and I could still receive calls and talk handsfree. But when I initiated a call, my BT speaker refused to make any sound.

I went nuts just like you, trying to uninstall apps one by one. Then, I searched everywhere and found one post on XDA that said that vrecorder doesn't work well with Froyo. I finally uninstalled vrecorder and everything was fine after that.

You said that your BT was OK with CM6 so I just didn't co-relate the two stories. My bad.

Hehe. I gave back on going back to CM6.x 3 months ago. BT... CM6... It seems like you are following my footsteps, doesn't it?:)
[G1 Android Development] marquimsp:
You're me in three months!!! How are things in the future? What rom will I be using? :D

You should've seen me in my car, in the garage, at 2am, uninstalling, reflashing, wiping, testing bt... absolutely ridiculous. At least I'm happy that everything is working...

Ofc the launcher is now missing :( so we need it again: exctract "CarHomeLauncher.apk" out of last image ("COS-DS-07082011.zip") [dunno if available on market], toss it into /system/app (correct user rights (chmod)), uninstall "car home" if already installed (got only FC's) and install it again -> working car mode again :)

Strange only that it is not listed in "my apps" though market knows it is installed, verified with a market search. Gmail is listed... maybe a side effect of Market Enabler.

I know how you felt. Google saved my life several times around for sure.

Regarding gps, have you tried 'gps test' app from the market? It won't show any hardware issues, but at least, you can monitor the number of satelites your phone is seeing and their signal strength. You can move around and see if you are loosing locks or it's purely software related. Just don't do it at 2am, though. You'll look too suspicious!;)

You should also review your logcat if you haven't. Just don't run around with your phone connected to a laptop running logcat, though. You'll look too silly!:D 'logcat > /sdcard/log.txt' in terminal should do it.
