You call what you received in response to your questions, "a flame"?

If you think that's flaming, ... well, let's just say that wasn't a flint-spark compared to some of the flames I've seen in my day :)

Sending you a PM... check for it...
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Agreed!!
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Yeah, when I was Noob to all this ROM stuff, I just wanted to learn. So I started reading. And reading. And reading. Then I had a question, so I read some more. and some more... and more... and then when I couldn't find the answer, I googled. And googled. And googled some more. And some more. And then, when Google failed me, I tried Yahoo!. Then I puked, cus Yahoo! sucks. I thought maybe Bing, but then I wanted to kill myself because, like, ewww, Microsoft... So then came my first post....

Followed by the flames.

Actually, wasn't anywhere near that bad, but I do remember I just wanted to learn, but I had a little forum experience behind me (and BBSes from my High School days) so I expected a few flames. BUT, when I posted, I made sure to post what I was able to find out so they at least knew I had at least made a solid effort, and I found people were a lot nicer to me. I still have received my fair share of flames. Some deserved, some not. But I expected some, so I didn't take it personal, and I gleaned what I could from them anyway, in spite of whatever perceived rudeness there was. And, now I know more for it.
[G1 Android Development] darkguy2008:
Of course, I agree with you, and I try to do so... but there's a difference between being a noob, and being a n00b:

noob: "Hey I can't find XYZ. Could anybody please tell me where can I find it? I've tried googling it and found these links: ABC, DEF, GHI, but they seem kinda unrelated to me. Any ideas are greatly appreciated! :)"

n00b: "hi where can u find xyz?????? can soem1 upload it 2 megupld plz rapidshre is sh*t!!!!!11!!1oneoneelevenone"

A few tips:

* Have good grammar, or at least try to. Nobody can take you seriously when you type using your elbows.

* Try to google it. Google has the answer to mostly everything. If you can't find it, hey, at least post the links that seem closer to what you're trying to find, so others can point you in the right direction.

* Be polite.

Anyways - this seems to be a great ROM, I hope it can support new radio soon, so I can try it on my device :) apparently it's faster than GY 1.2?
[G1 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Always a plus, following these basic common-sense rules. Google may not have all the answers, or sometimes there just is too much irrelevant information to sift through. I've been there before.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Its pretty clear to me he did not read the first post or even the topic title, if you cant/wont even do that much i dont believe you should get the info handed to you, imo at least the first post is quite clear.

This is a free product, there is no warenty, no support, pretty much like the real HTC service ;)

@undead

Its the developmeant section under settings/ applications not the dev app.
[G1 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Good to know, just enabled it. I was going to leave the Development app in next ROM update until you explained that.
[G1 Android Development] rysk29:
And thats fine, but every other rom i see on here isnt called langpack1-4.. it wasnt clear to me if that was a rom or some kind of addon.. and did you think that that maybe.. just maybe my few post count is because i dont usually have to ask questions because im no noob.. i have been on XDA for over a year now.. just sayin... and a simple answer stating its the langpack zips, i would have fully understood.. and i call it a flame because if you have time to be rude, you have time to answer a simple question. especially since you posted the links and can see how that can become confusing for someone looking at your post for the first time.. But on a serious note I do like your rom.. it seems better than Yoshi's in my opinion.. i got a 377 in quadrant with my old G1 which kills Yoshi at 336... Thanks for the Great Rom, but please be more understanding for the next guy..

sys clock delay

I'm just flashing 0623, but 0619 and before have a system clock delay. After two days uptime the system was round about 2 min late. Rebooting sets the clock (more or less) correct (I'm now 34 seconds ahead).

Isn't the sys clock synced with the GSM/CDMA clock?

Regarding the ClockSync App it is not always possible. Any chance if I can see if my provider blocks time sync?

:( Doesnt look good: Issue 15436:	Nexus one Date & Time cannot auto sync from mobile network until a reboot after upgrade to version 2.3.3.

PS: And yes, automatic time and date setting is active^^

PPS: Ty for fixing the adw laucher desktop switching buttons! :)
[G1 Android Development] Unrelashade:
I also got the system clock delay. It was really confusing when i didn't knew about it ^^

And nice work at all the new fixes Roalex!
[G1 Android Development] karym1969:
Obvious Questions

Roalex, I have been flashing your ROM since the first build, this is why it is easy for me to understand the first page as it changed through the different months.

However, I put my self in the shoes of a newcomer to this ROM, and understand that the first page might be a little bit confusing for them.

I think that we have to be a little bit more tolerant with newcomers, even if we perceive they ask obvious questions.

Big Fan of your ROM:)
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
They have to put some effort into it, which simply means that they actually have to read the first post. I don't think its very hard, if he did, he would have not asked what he did, since its stated clearly what are those "language packs".
[G1 Android Development] :
Meh fook it, kill em all the bloody n00bs! :D
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Things not to do while flashing the MTD-Recovery zip while in recovery:

Type "adb reboot recovexit" in command prompt while connected before the flash has completed its thing. (I had started to type, forgot where I was during the flash, and decided instead to "exit". I should learn just to use CTRL-C.)

Why not? Because apparently after doing that, you'll only get the splash screen (what is usually "G1" for most people) with the black-text-on-red-background "FASTBOOT USB" in the top left corner when trying to boot to recovery.

I had 1.33.0013d. That means no working fastboot flash. That means I now own a brick until I can JTAG, correct?

All so I can put my own freakin ringtones in it. 90MB wasn't enough. Had just set it to 92.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Ah man, that sucks. Good luck!
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Flash a sappimg from hboot? with 0013d that should be rather painless
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
ah, a glimmer of hope -- will try that!

[edit]

I wonder if this is how I unbricked before. I forget what I did last time though. Currently, I didn't think HBOOT had flash abilities. Figured only Fastboot did. Let me go do some research!

[Edit2]

Having the 1.33.0013d SPL, and Radio 2.22.28.25, is it a bad idea to flash the stock DREAIMG.NBH file? I remember something about downgrading, but I think it was downgrading just radio or just SPL -- I think if I flash the DREAIMG.NBH, it should be fine. Is this correct?

[Edit3]

Trying this now... very nervous, but it looks like it will work...

[Edit4]

Ah hah! HBOOT 1.42.2000 S-OFF and Radio 2.22.16.19. It's Euro, but that won't matter -- the SPL will allow me to reflash recovery and a US ROM...
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Congrats!!
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Thanks! Got it back on COS about 2:30 a.m. today. Really gotta quit theselate nights!

[G1 Android Development] arceles:
Impressive release the last one, my phone feels snappier than never before with gingerbread, impressive job sir!
[G1 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I would have suggested flashing a sappimg, but it sounds like you fixed it. Close call, huh? I've been there before. Luckily I was able to get replacements for the two I effed up before. Yes, T-mobile replaced my phone twice with no cost! They couldn't figure out what was wrong, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Looks like LangPack 1 did not get updated to 0624. Still downloads a file named 0623 and the resulting Settings/About Phone shows 0623 as well. Downloading L2 now.

Fortunately, I speak en_US so it doesn't matter which one I get... Just letting Roalex know about L1.
[G1 Android Development] BlackF09:
U are right and I wonder what roalex meant with the 24th update... :D

@roalex: Yes, tested youtube and there is a "hd" icon set active, N1!
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Ofc it did, it was simply 23 (11 pm) when i run my build script.
[G1 Android Development] drbobb:
For some reason, every second reboot or so vold doesn't mount my sd-ext. When I run e2fsck on it, no problems are reported and it usually works okay next reboot. Any ideas for troubleshooting?
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Not likely. Not without a logcat, at least.

Could just be bad timing, but that would not likely be so predictable as once every second or third boot.

Maybe you could drop to terminal (with system running) and dismount/remount it a few times (might need to be root). Assuming you know how to do this.

Also might try doing same while only in recovery. If you never see an error and it mounts flawlessly each time, I'd suspect that maybe something the ROM is doing during boot is using all the resources of the phone at that particular moment -- which again, one would expect to be every single time, but there are always variables we don't see.

Even harder to see without lolcats ;)
[G1 Android Development] rub1k:
Thanks for all the work put into this ROM... finally made the jump from a CM-6.1 based ROM and it seems great so far.

Quick question, please... I searched but couldn't find anything.

CM (6.x at least) has an option to display some custom text on the lock screen... I was using that to show my email address in hopes of someone being able to perhaps email me in case they found my lost phone, etc.

I can't seem to find this option in the COS Settings or anywhere else... Is it no longer there or am I just not looking in the right places?

Thanks much in advance for any help with this.
[G1 Android Development] darkguy2008:
No, it doesn't exist. That's certainly something I'd like to see added, as where I live, the cellphone robbing frequency is pretty high :/

EDIT:

Does anybody know how do I force the GSM SIM operator code to be a different one? it's a PITA to change it everytime using MarketEnabler as it seems it doesn't store the configuration on each reboot, and I have to run it again everytime I reboot my phone :(
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
is it enabled under Settings/Applications/Development ?
[G1 Android Development] drbobb:
Of course, sd-ext is in use and generally always worked until recently. Data2sd is off though.

I did look at logcat but couldn't find anything relevant, guess I'll try looking again.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
you might want to try to reformat it, flash this
[G1 Android Development] farmatito:
Have you applied this patch:

[G1 Android Development] darkguy2008:
Well, after an unpleasant experience with 06-24-2011 that got my settings reset after issuing "adb reboot", I'm going back to Yoshi 1.2, and shall be back when stability improves in this ROM. Also, it's a bit slower than Yoshi :\ I dunno why. I wanted to keep it as it's waaay more updated, but it isn't very stable for me :( sorry!
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
Did you try the other market enabler called "Market Enabler"? It has the 'set on boot' option for free. I don't know if it let's you enter a specific code other than predfined ones, though.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
yea i have it
[G1 Android Development] robuser007:
can view the full log on my github.

Where exactly? This? Public Activity

The changelog in the rom from 24/06 only goes till 08/06.

Great rom, starting to like my g1 once again, I'll never buy/use another phone for professional use.
[G1 Android Development] cripgballerkundikusu11:
are the new updates no wipe for previous versions?
[G1 Android Development] rysk29:

[G1 Android Development] uvt_novice:
ROM splited into 4 lang packs... I am just wondering is there any way to delete one or two useless languages from flashed ROM and add one or two another languages of my choice into flashed ROM.

For example, I use langpack 1 because of CAN Lang. and I don't need any Middle Eastern languages in the lang pack, but sometimes I use RUS and UKR that are in the langpack 4. So I simply want to remove some and add another languages...Does anyone know whether is it possible?
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
I'm toying with a similar idea, only mine is for ringtones. Shouldn't matter though, the concept is the same: It should be possible simply to download both packs, move the files you do want from one into the other and delete from that one the ones you don't want, resign it, et voila, new ROM update.zip. Of course, I don't know the location of the files, but should be easy to find.

Unfortunately, I'm running into a problem running the update.zip after I sign it. It keeps saying verification failed, no matter which method I use to sign it (I've signed using instructions from the java website, from the Android website, and from two different posts I've found on the 'Net at large as well as two different APK signers from Android Market with no change in the error message I receive at flash time).

I did read somewhere that there's an update-binary that's required for Gingerbread, but I think they were wrong (didn't see any mention of it on android.com).

I also saw where I could sign using testkeys/debug keys, but in the event I come up with something useful in the future I'd like to be able to release it to the public without too much hassle, which I read testkeys don't allow for.

I mean, I can see that the package gets signed, but when I try to use it, the phone says verification failed.

:shrug:
[G1 Android Development] uvt_novice:
Thanks, but I don't even think about re-signing ROM zip-pack. I know I will fail :) - LOL

That is not an issue, however, when you playing withi customizing ringtones. Install File Expert apk, go to /system/media/ringtones and remove/delete any (mount partition as Read/Write before). You can also copy into this folder any ogg-ringtone file to play in...then reboot your device.
[G1 Android Development] deuse:
I have a small problem in that Market loads fast but if I click on any app or click on my app it FCs :(

I have re-formated my sd and then don ext2-3 then 3-4, three times and it's still the same.

I do have the new radio and ram hack with S-ON would that cause this?

Thanks for your time

edit= I just tried adb shell fix_permissions but it's still the same...HELP :)
[G1 Android Development] WiuEmPe:
I have 3 problems.

1: In horizontal view i have this bug:

Maybe it is becouse i have honeycomb theme to CM7

2: sometimes i havent icons in menu:

and:

and:

3: I have problem with software keyboard in horizontal view:
[G1 Android Development] BlackF09:
Are u using the Google recovery option?

Delete market data & cache in manage applications (kill market first) and try again.
[G1 Android Development] BlackF09:
Did u try it without the theme?
[G1 Android Development] deuse:
I have cleard the cache a few times but still the same. Thought it was my SDcard so I tried a new one

Market still FCs after I click on a app or My Apps it loads ok..

EDIT=I just flashed again Market loads and I can search ok..but as soon as I click on a app or My Apps it FCs?

Other then this it's a brill rom...
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Yes, I see that suggestion a lot, and it would work: "Oh, just install this special file manager and just move the files over" but there are enough that for me it's easier to set up a for-loop in DOS and adb push them all to the phone. Personally, I prefer adb anyway. Unfortunately, that's not in line with what I'm after. What I'm wanting to do is make my own update.zip so that when I decide to wipe before flashing the next version, all I have to do is turn around and reflash my own special package to get all my favorite ringtones back (and possibly other things like wallpapers and such). Besides, once I figure out the update.zip, I can start figuring out how to mod my own (theme, audio, wallpaper, etc.) packs and maybe one day God willing after Android is ancient history I might even pop out a rom of my own.

Of course, I won't be able to do any of that for the public if I can't figure out app signing. Which I thought I had, but they just won't flash.
[G1 Android Development] WiuEmPe:
Without this theme i havent first problem.
[G1 Android Development] drbobb:
Every time I make a phone call, the DSP Manager app pops up a force close before the number is dialed.
[G1 Android Development] BlackF09:
Did u try fix_permissions?
[G1 Android Development] uvt_novice:
I personally don't like using adb command with rebranded FASTBOOT/HBOOT-1.33.0013d - because flash partitions command does not work there...

Well, seems to me nobody knows how to delete or replace any/some language within the flashed ROM by using the file manager, or adb, or fastboot, or even something like that...:confused:
[G1 Android Development] ringochan:
Is 'language pack' more than what you can accomplish by setting a locale to a preffered language? I mean, I can set my phone to any locale by using 'More Locale' app from the Market. I can also download alternative keyboards and imput methos from the Market too. That's how I did to use Japanese before the language was included in many roms.

Or am I missing something?
[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
??? adb has nothing to do with fastboot (besides borrowing some usb libraries on windows)

Adb let's you talk with linux.. fastboot the bootloader before linux is booted.

Thus adb works the same on any rooted roms regardless of bootloader (at least ignoring any nand lock.. as we are on the dream/sapphire phones this assumption is fine since we don't have a nand lock implemented on any of our SPLs)

Because there is no language file its the resources of the apk files (unless you are talking about more local on market anyway)

Without building it with languages needed or some m,assive apktool hacking anyway.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Everywhere i go i see your ROM! LOL http://pockethacks.com/tag/dream-sapphire-gingerbread-roms/
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Roalex & EZTerry et al:

When you yourself sign an update to your ROM, or your kernel update.zip, or whatever, how do you guys sign it? I don't see an option to disable signature checking in AmonRA but it's obviously never been a problem for me with COS-DS updates nor CM before it nor custom kernels. Yet even though I'm signing my update.zip, my recovery says it's not signed.

I'm following the directions on android.com and the XDA forums, but like I say, even though it appears to be signed (complete with signature files in the .zip afterward), the phone disagrees.

I'm obviously doing something you guys aren't. Are you signed with VeriSign or Thawte or some such, or is there something simple I'm missing?

Does it HAVE to be zip-aligned before it will update through recovery? I thought that was optional just for speed of read-in.

Thanks in advance...

EDIT:

I just got an update.zip to install using Testkeys for signing. I assume the ROM is also signed with Testkeys? I remember reading something a while back about that but I wasn't sure if it continued with testkeys or private keys...

So as ROMs go, if they're signed, they have to be signed with Testkeys, I therefore assume... but as long as I'm not putting stuff on the market -- and I'm not, at least yet -- testkeys is fine, yes?
[G1 Android Development] uvt_novice:
Thanks for previous lesson re adb; I mistakenly united adb and fastboot into the same topic which is not right. I was thinking about fastboot command only....:)

What is about language - I'm not thinking about adding some more locale.. - no, either I am not thinking about installing any additional keyboards that are mostly weird.

I just wanted to use system's own language support, Android's own on-screen keyboard with voice support and with the ability to switch over languages by using space bar swipe.

So, as far as I understood you I probably have to replace current apk (perhaps LatinIME.apk along with .odex one) by another one which has all necessary languages, am I right? Thanks in advance.

i Just flashed this rom... it works great.

thank you all.
[G1 Android Development] hwwe:
Hi..

I had the cyanogenmod 5 in my magic and I did a upgrade to this one.

The problem is that with this rom the touch screen doesn´t work.. Anyone knows why?

thanks
[G1 Android Development] BlackF09:
Never heard of such a prob. Did u try the standard error procedure? Here's a hint: ;)

Second try should be wipe and flash again.
[G1 Android Development] shadowillusions:
Very nice rom guys... Runs pretty smooth on my HTC Magic 32B.
[G1 Android Development] drbobb:
If you tried to upgrade without a full wipe - it's not likely at all to work.
[G1 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I've deleted apps and ringtones from ROMs such as this one before installing via ClockworkMod Recovery, with no issues (shrinks it by about 10-15 MB). Signed or unsigned. I would like to know what files to delete if I wanted just English language. Can't imagine that would decrease the ROM size by much though.
[G1 Android Development] ggonsalv:
Q

I really this ROM and all it's features however when viewing

Running Application I was see to have 0 RAM available.

Also three widgets I have seems to FC.

Finally ruuning free gives

Total used free

Swap: 0 0 0

Any advice?!
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Then you are using another kernel, since Compcache is on by default at 10% you should have those there, i cant support things which aren't in the rom :)
[G1 Android Development] sada23:
Try using ROM manager for Fixing the FCs. Also try to flash the A2sdext from the OP. That might help you to resolve your memory issues. Also make sure you have the checkbox for moving the Applications is checked and also make sure you have the checkbox for Unknown Applications checked.
[G1 Android Development] inuyasha84:
With 20110308 version (full) I don't have root enabled for apps (e.g. I have su permissions when opening a shell through adb, but apps can't get root permissions). Has this been fixed on 20110310? Otherwise I don't need to update ;)
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
If that's the only real advantage, I'll stick with RA. I can wipe all that stuff using either recovery's terminal or fastboot. :shrug:
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
I had the same thing, disabling CC and enabling swap with fr-patch fixed it:)
[G1 Android Development] almostthere:
Either you do a few reboots letting the ROM settle down or flash in one of ezTerry's latest biffmod kernel's. I'm getting 13Mb free with CC off and 64Mb swap enabled
[G1 Android Development] yeticomes:
First thank you for all your great work with this ROM - it is really amazing to have Gingerbread at the G1 :-)

I reflashed the newest light Version from today and still have problems to download Apps - after some attempts I could download the new Read it later Pro app, but an update for Foursquare or downloading the new Wunderlist app does always end with "Download unsuccessfull".

Could you maybe try to download e.g. the Wunderlist todo app (ATTENTION: only with wifi, because it has 9MB)? Here is the Market link:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wunderkinder.wunderlistandroid&feature=search_result

I am not sure but maybe the problems are caused by apps which want to install to the app-private folder? Maybe I should re-format my sdcard ...
