Error 7 when trying to flash 4/17 full. Assert failed? Please help.
[G1 Android Development] map_841:
I'm downloaded the ezBiffTestKernel from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11565574&postcount=670

With the stock kernel from COS-DS, it drains my battery from 100% to 60% over the night (8h), but with the ezBiffTestKernel it just loses 1-2% over the night (everything off, except data and 3g).
[G1 Android Development] sada23:
Seems like a bad download. Download again and also check the MD5 checksum.
[G1 Android Development] FabioFerreira:
Same problem here. I tried both full and light, from several sites.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Uploads are broke new files inc ;)
[G1 Android Development] newellj79:
Md5 checks out. To my amateur eye it happens when trying to install the kernel to work with 2708.
[G1 Android Development] ThdDude:
Same here on G1
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Ok, should be correct now :) Gotta redownload
[G1 Android Development] newellj79:
I'm using 2708, do u know if this kernel will work with it. I'm about to read about it now. Thanx.

Edit... yep, ill try the 2708 version in a bit. Thanx again. I'm a little surprised these work as it appears they were written for froyo?
[G1 Android Development] map_841:
kernel

I'm also using the 2708 kernel in combination with the 14MB ram hack. It's suprising that it works perfectly, but the hardware stays the same, so both kernel can work.
[G1 Android Development] newellj79:
Thanks roalex. The updated version installs now. I flashed the biffmod kernel previously mentioned so I'm waiting for it boot now. May should have tested it stock first...
[G1 Android Development] newellj79:
hmm.. running 4/17 full i don't get the option to mount the sd card to my computer to copy files when attached. Could this be because i'm using the biffmod kernel? Anyone else experiencing this?

[G1 Android Development] map_841:
That sounds interesting. How do I check, if a certain kernel is using the "ramzswap" option? Do you have composed a script for that "compcache to swap backup"?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Like doh ? why would you flash a Froyo kernel on a Ginger rom, beats me.
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
Or you could just try a plain swap partition, using Firerat's AIO script. Not too much, mind you; try 32MB. It should help you multitask, but be prepared for a bit of slowness.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Downloading now. Ill report back.
[G1 Android Development] newellj79:
A page or two back someone posted dramatically increased battery life using it. I figured it was worth a shot.
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
I don't know what kind of battery life you're getting with the Biffmod kernel, but I'm quite satisfied with the 2-3 days I'm getting from whatever roalex's giving us.
[G1 Android Development] newellj79:
I don't inlet either, I just flashed it. You would have to ask the Guy who mentioned it. I too was getting pretty good battery life stock, I just like tinkering.
[G1 Android Development] djbspliff:
Ok can someone please help me out. I have the 4/13 rom installed and I have selected apps to be installed on the ext but my internal still gets full. Why is tha. I have have since the manually moved apps to the sdcard instead but I don't have as much free internal space as I thini should I'm only at 9mb atm and it changes. Help.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Data and dalvik-cache still go on /data so its normal.
[G1 Android Development] erotser:
After a super wipe (coming from CM 6.1 stable) I get an error, is there something wrong with the full installation package?

(I tried downloading it from multiple sources and all gave the same error)
[G1 Android Development] map_841:
I know, it doesn't sound "right", to flash a froyo kernel on a gingerbread rom. I tested it a few days and I really get a way better battery life with the froyo kernel, instead of the shipped COS-DS kernel. I've the same features as with the COS-DS kernel, as far as I know.
[G1 Android Development] newellj79:
The only downside that I've noticed is I can't mount the sdcard to my PC.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Very nice! Using ThdDudes cooked in theme rom.Have no problems so far. Nice that o didn't have to flash alternate kernel. Green screen fixed.
[G1 Android Development] woo456:
How's the ROM's speed compared to CM 6.1?
[G1 Android Development] gordonshumway123:
With every app that you download from market, there is a "downloadfile*.apk" in /data/local/download/

That's what makes my internal memory full! Just delete them from time to time via a root file explorer.
[G1 Android Development] newellj79:
Much better!

Anyone getting Camera issues? Also, inconsistent battery life.

TL:DNR Version: Has anyone noticed any issues when using the camera in the last few/half dozen or so builds? Also, how do I determine what part of "Android OS" is gobbling up all my battery?

Long version:

Something I have noticed on 04132011-full (and prior ones, too -- haven't noticed it on 04172011-full yet but that doesn't mean it's not there) is that occasionally when I go into Camera, I take a pic, and it locks up on that image. It never saves it to that little preview window (haven't checked if it saved to SD or not), and it never goes back to the ready-to-take-another-pic mode. Basically, it seems to lock up the entire phone (although eventually, twice, it did give me the option to F/C or wait on camera app). Has anyone else noticed this?

Also, I can't consistently get that excellent battery life. I almost never charge USB anymore, but that doesn't seem to matter even when I do (e.g., I can still get excellent life after a USB unplug). Today, I was riding 2 hours downstate to hickland, north central Florida and on the ride down while in 3G I pulled the 04172011-full, flashed, played a bit with settings and quadrant, then put it away for an hour. Then I activated 2G-only, GPS, data, and went into Google Maps to find our location and do some navigating. I turned it all off when we got to destination (my standard config) and didn't look at it for 3½ hours. In that time, my battery dropped 48%. I wouldn't even get a full 8-hour workday out of that, much less what I've been able. Granted, it's possible I was out of signal (it was in my pocket whenever we weren't in the car), but I never strayed far from where we parked and I had good signal there. I have noticed any time my battery drains quicker than expected, it's always Android OS using it all up, so how would I go about getting exactly what process is gobbling up my battery? Would "top" in the terminal tell me anything?

Something is very wrong with 0418 its like it don't have root. My terminal wont work, my titanium wont acquire root, my androot file manager doesn't work. I did a full wipe and the factory reset. I can't upload a logcat because I'm not at a computer. I can email one if you want me to. This is what my terminal says and it doesn't respond.

Best configuration

Hello all,

I would like all readers of this thread to give their opinion on the best configuration of this ROM to date, especially with regards to multiasking (i.e. Switch between apps, phone and home as quickly as possible)

1. Your location and radio

2. Which phone model?

3. Your SPL

4. Your recovery image

5. Are you using any special kernels for additional RAM?

6. Are you using a custom MTD? If yes, what is your configuration?

7. What is your SD Card size, class and partition? What did you use to partition your SD card? Did you partition your SD in a specific order?

8. If you are using SWAP, what is your configuation? Partition vs File? Swappiness? Do you use a specific program to manage SWAP?

9. Is JIT on of off?

10. Are you using Compcache and what is your set up?

11. What did you set up for VM heap sizes?

12. How long does your phone last with a regular battery (not the extended one)?

13. Any other remarks or comments you would like to add.

Thanks in advance for your replices.

JuliusCes
[G1 Android Development] map_841:

5. 2.6.35.10-cos

6. no

7. 2GB Kingston SDC/2GB (can't figure out which class). Used ROM Manager to partition. No specific order

8. not using swap

9. JIT off

10. Compcache 18%

11. 24

12. 24h-36h
[G1 Android Development] JuliusCes:
Re Best Configuration

Thanks map_841 for your prompt reply

I have two questions regarding points 1 and 5.

1. Why are you using radio 2.22.27.08 instead of 2.22.25.28. Isn't the last one more suited for European HTC dreams? Have you tried both radios?

5. Where can I find this kernel? Is it already included in the COS-DS Rom?

Cheers,

JuliusCes
[G1 Android Development] map_841:
ad 1. I haven't try both, because the x.08 is running fine for me and I don't want to play around with different radio versions, if it isn't necessary. What would be an advantage to have the x.28 version?

ad 5: just flash the latest COS-DS release. The kernel is included (incl. 2708 patch). I've had problems with the 04/18 release and stepped back to 04/17 release.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
For anyone still needing the test kernel, Here it is. I noticed roalex took it out. You more than likely won't need it now that green screen is fixed. But just in case.

[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
What is your phone specs? That might help
[G1 Android Development] JuliusCes:
Re re Best configuration

ad 1: This is only a guess, but I believe that since our phones spend a lot of time looking for a signal, it is important to make sure that you have the right radios. due to the fact that there is a difference between US and Europe cell towers. Radios is something that is usually not talked about on the web.

On 1.6 ROMs, my battery would die quickly due to phone constantly searching for signals. It would last less than 8 hours.

On 2.2 or 2.3 ROMs, my battery still lasts less than 8 hours a day. I checked other usage, and it says CPU running over 99%. You can see my setup in my signature.

ad 5: Thanks for the tip, I am seriously thinking about changing radios, probably x28 with 1.33.2003d, and installing a lighter ROM to test and see what's best for me. I'm also thinking about removing the swap partition through Gparted.
[G1 Android Development] enelyam:
Later releases are giving me errors also when installing, at least 0417 and 0418, have not tried any other since 0407 which is the one im running right now. Not even going to ask because i can see im one of the few people whos having issues installing it. So for now i will stay with 04072011 which i am very happy with :)!
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
What errors are they giving you?
[G1 Android Development] enelyam:
Cant recall the exact error right now, but it ends up saying installation aborted, I have tried both recovery console Clockworkmod and Ra. I will try to flash it later and will check what is the error message. For now ive been fine with 04072011 and im very happy with the speed of the ROM.
[G1 Android Development] Galaxen:
I got error aswell when trying to flash new update.. something with .prop and boatloader 0013 or something.. error 7 in the bottom aswell.
[G1 Android Development] enelyam:
Yeap, something like that is what i recall, well, anyways i rather not ask since i have been reading a lot lately thanks to some noob question i made earlier in this same thread. I decided to read and learn about developing instead of asking so call "noob questions". I will post later if i in fact solve the issue myself. Like the author of this awesome gingerbread said, i will do the job :)

[G1 Android Development] enelyam:
Yeap, thats what i thought. After all im still running 2.22.23.02 radio. But the thing is that i see so many people complaining about wifi and some other stuff not working that im not willing to update the radio and or spl. I will stay where i am at right now because everything is working now for me right now so i will stay with 04072011 until i feel theres something stable enough to try that.

Just found something out cool about this rom. Not a big deal but. If you go to settings>about and first randomly click the model number, android version,.and baseband version quickly and keep doing it eventually a cool picture shows up. And then if you do the same on model version, build number, and memory info you get a different picture. Let me know if it works got anyone else. One pic is by teamdouche, and the other I don't remember. Keep clicking and the pic will eventually show up.

Wifi and everything else is working fine for me on the 04/18 build. Titanium backup isn't having any problems getting root rights.

This is from a direct flash-over from the previous version. Last time I did a full wipe was the 04/11/11 full wipe flash.

That said, it looks like themes are still included with the 04/18 light version for some reason as well as a bunch of audio files and a few other apps that I think were only included in the full version for a while. Easy enough to delete, but I assume that at the very least the themes shouldn't be in there because it says that they're not included in the OP.

[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Thanks for the explanation!

More on my use of the ROM, something is fast draining my battery ATM that wasn't before. Perhaps it's actually that I'm connected to wifi actively now, instead of just having it on.

I notice also that there is a mild delay/lag in typing, taking up to several seconds in some cases for the phone to catch up to where I am (for instance, replying now as I am) so I shall look around and see what else I can find... regardless, these are the same issues I had with CM before, so they're really NBD on such aged hardware. Frankly, I see me keeping this ROM at least for a while. Very daily driver for me.

I did have a few FCs last night, I remember now, with ADWLauncher. I don't think they were full reboots like I reported above. Still, manually rebooting the phone with it unplugged from USB was a fix.

One thing I think I'm going to love is this new arrow highlight thing showing me where my cursor is when I type a spot in a text box...

If you download the free version of Titanium Backup + Root from the market you can strip any unnecessary/unwanted apps. :D I believe Root Explorer works as well.
