try a different kernel
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Using Windows XP and want to partition your MicroSD card for Linux Swap and EXT3???

I really don't want to sound elitist or anything, but seriously, if you can't even use Google there's a good chance you will eventually brick your device. Maybe you should do some light reading before trying to hack your phone.

Or, learn to use Google. I just nonchalantly threw this search in, and the very first hit was EXACTLY what you need. Although, I will admit, Google's been sucking it up lately, but now and then it still really pulls through.

See the first hit on this search. It details STEP BY STEP how to partition your MicroSD card without anything more special than your phone and ADB.

Keep in mind, you really don't even need ADB if you are comfortable typing with your phone's minuscule little keyboard. If you don't have ADB, just open Terminal after booting into recovery and type directly into the phone (assuming you have a rooted-enough phone as to have a recovery that has its own terminal built in).

Honestly, I do hope this helps, but if you don't know what you're doing you can / WILL brick your phone eventually. I know what I'm doing and even I damn near bricked mine. Thank God for Fastboot. Anyway, I do HIGHLY recommend doing some reading.
[G1 Android Development] g1user101:
already did, its still the same. im on a mytouch 1.2/fender. any kernal suggestions? tht give good battery performance?
[G1 Android Development] juaninamillion:
Juangil thank you so much buddy!
[G1 Android Development] ThdDude:
Well EZterry posted this one for your mutant phones 32a needing a 32b kernel depends on your radio boot-cm_2635.11_ds_32b-oc-uv-xtra-ram-fp-020711.forcebase

I know it works for some people but I am on a G1 so ?? May want to ask another Fender user
[G1 Android Development] mjsell2:
Window$ doesn't have a built-in partition manager that will handle swap or ext partitions. i know there are a few on download.com that are free, but you take a risk with shareware.

If you install a Linux distro, any are capable, you will want to use your package manager (synaptic, apt, YaST, etc.) to install gparted. Gparted is one of the best partitioning programs I have used.

Just remember, anytime you alter a partition, there is a chance you can loose all your data. When in doubt, back it up!!!
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
I don't want to sounds like an a** or anything, but since cj chitwood was giving you helpful informations even after you proved your point of "I do not want to read", I have reported your rude post.
[G1 Android Development] yeticomes:
Sorry guy, but you make this thread OFFTOPIC with your noob questions how to partition a sdcard etc. You have been told to use gparted, you got the hint to download ubuntu - that should be enough to google it. If not go to another xda forum where you can learn these basics to handle your rooted phone!

Yes, maybe it sounds rude but please go away from this thread about a great Gingerbread ROM für our G1 with your beginner questions which you don't want to google.

Btw to my problems with this ROM: I got the 03102011-full to work after flashing over the 03042011-light which was working well for me incl. market. Also I got more space on the phone but with ADW EX it is more laggy than the other attempts before, so I installed Zeam Launcher and it works fine until now. Will maybe try another superwipe and go to 0310-full directly.

Thanks a lot for all the good work in this Gingerbread ROM!
[G1 Android Development] tsuyaa:
Hey, can anyone help me with the problem when I start the my Dream, there's this "process com.android.setupwizard has stopped unexpectedly" right after I set the time and date in the setup.
[G1 Android Development] yeticomes:
You can try to go to console from Recovery and enter this:

mount -a

cd /system/app

cp SetupWizard.apk /sdcard

rm -rf SetupWizard.apk

reboot

After this you are getting directly to the home screen but maybe the Home button will not work correctly so you should copy the SetupWizard.apk back to /system/app.

The easiest way will be to use Root Explorer https://market.android.com/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&feature=search_result where you can also change the permissions to match with the others in the directory.

Be sure to have setup an account and the clock to sync automatically.

It helped for me.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Neh dont do that.

Once you see the setup, press top left corner - top right corner - bottom right corner - bottom left corner

if you do this right the setup will exit.

This never happens on my dream though but i never setup the google account form the Wizzard.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
this rom is awesome.

i didn`t expect of a first release of "cm7" for dream to be so much stable.

i`m running the "full version" with danger spl and the radio from signature. and it is very smooth.

i`ll try also the other versions (light and stock).

"contacts" menu will apear after a while. but that`s all the bad things i can say about this rom. and maybe the gui reminds me of android 1 :)

nice work!

i`ll look now for the best configuration of this rom to be not too fancy but fast and responsive. i`m open to any ideeas and suggestions :)

ps: steps i did for flashing this rom

- flash ohsaka`s wuperwipe v2

- flash rom from amon-ra 1.7.0 recovery image

and that was all :)
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
@Juaninamillion: Hopefully you'll accept my sincere apology for having offended you. It was not my intent to do so. But, I DID provide you EXACTLY what you need, with no extras to install. That should count for something. Of course, at this moment, that site is suffering database errors. Might try viewing Google's cache instead. Can be found from the same link I provided earlier.

And thanks to Yeti and HRK for backing me up on this.

But they're right. The whole "I don't want to learn it, I just want to be spoonfed it" mindset is what came across, whether or not that was the actual case. Maybe it was the "I don't have a slightest clue wtf you just said! Haha!!!!" that to me read like "Gee, I don't want to learn it, either, even though Google's a click away llololooolololllolololoooolololl", which of course is not what you were saying, so "my bad" for reading it wrong. I've just seen a lot of that here and elsewhere (before Android) in my time on the net.

Sorry if I offended anybody else, too.

Here's a little more help, though, if you'll accept it:

Flashing AmonRA shouldn't be necessary for this, but, if it is, that in and of itself won't change the partitions on the SD card. It will only overwrite one partition in the phone's memory itself, that being the "recovery" partition, and you can only overwrite that partition from fastboot AFAIK. Maybe flashing a recovery from within another recovery is possible, but I don't think so. I've only ever used Fastboot for flashing recoveries.

Also, if you do indeed have a 30 or 32 or somewhere-in-there megabyte swap PARTITION, I would just stick with that. Large gains are not seen with much more than 32. But there are arguments about this all over the Internet if you know where to look for them. I just checked mine, and surprised myself to find I still have a 60-ish MB partition. I meant to shrink it, just never did. Either way, I ran 'free' from ADB shell and saw that I'm only using 29 M of swap with 31 M still free. Then again, I don't go nuts on my phone anymore, so perhaps if you use yours heavily you might actually use more than 32 megs.

If you DON'T have a PARTITION and want to make one, OR, if you have one and want to make it larger, do back up the data on the entire card before you start changing their sizes. There are programs that let you resize and even create new partitions without data loss, but there are caveats most people don't know or think about, and as easy as a backup-and-restore-later process is, there's no point in risking it.

Hope it helps worth something.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
See post #369 for how mine is set up. Juangil in #370 said his is basically the same setup, yet somehow his is getting better scores on Quadrant. Best score I've gotten is 301 but I havent' futzed much with getting that higher -- not a priority in my life right now.

I would like to see other peoples' setups and what their scores are in Quadrant.
[G1 Android Development] Galaxen:
So anyone here running this promising ROM on their Magic 32A!? Any suggestions before flashing away? didnt see a install guide so I guess its superwipe and flash the zip!? no gapps or kernels needed for 32A right!?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
It should be working with the kernel i have in the pack, you have the minimum gapps pack with the rom, all the rest are download-able, if this is your first ride with COS, then do a full wipe, gl.
[G1 Android Development] Paul Shirley:
I've tried this both ways (the alternative is rebooting the phone after signing in but before it FC's during the wizard) and it only restored my settings and apps from the cloud if I ran the setup wizard. I've not noticed any unfixable problems from rebooting during setup and it beats wasting time restoring settings.
[G1 Android Development] Galaxen:
Thx for reply.. its flashed and running smoothly atm.. will be putting it through alot of testing soon when everything is configured ;)

I just have 1 question so far, I use LauncherPro and usually always uninstall ADW from system (when I used CM6) and wonder if I can uninstall ADW here aswell!? I saw that ADW was showing under settings.. will that be a problem if I uninstall it?!
[G1 Android Development] yeah:):
Stuck at 'Android' Boot Screen

I have just flashed the latest version of COS-DS on to my HTC Dream (using Amon Ra 1.7.0), but I am now been stuck on the 'Android' boot logo. Could anyone suggest a possible reason for such a problem, and also a way to resolve this problem? Thank you very much in advance for your help.
[G1 Android Development] yeticomes:
ADW is under system/app. For me it was no problem to remove it. Now I use/try Zeam.
[G1 Android Development] vermaekansh:
Can I use this theme over Yoshi ginger 1.0 RC5.2????
[G1 Android Development] :
Anyone else having issues with 'Lock Home In Memory'?

I have the light version and have it checked but seems to make no difference, I was in launcher refresh hell? Oh forgot that was using version 10 or 11th/03/2011 whichever the last one was.

Just downloading the 12032011 now and hoping I don't have this problem as this rom seems to be fantastic but the launcher refresh kills it for me before I get to test it properly which is a shame for what really does look to be some quality work.
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
Gonna try this out. Looks like a very good Gingerbread ROM. :)

EDIT: Had the green tint bug. I flashed ezBiffTestKernel20101106-2708_S.zip over the ROM, and it fixed it. Are there any more up-to-date kernels that fix this bug? I'm really impressed with the speed of this ROM, by the way.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
I noticed this when my /system partition was full (one of the new radios gives more room on /system, and you will need that radio for the full version of the ROM). You might try any of the following:

1) Reflash the ROM

2) Flash the Light version first, see if that one works

3) rewipe the entire thing and start from scratch.

Hope it helps.
[G1 Android Development] juaninamillion:
Double post
[G1 Android Development] juaninamillion:
I was running Gingeryoshi before this and I must say it is much more complete as far as cm features go. As far as help I've received..... thank you for the answers guys. For all the extra comments.... you guys clutter up the forums way more than any noob does with your ridiculous rants.
[G1 Android Development] yeah:):
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I have already tried everything that you have suggested, to no avail! Could the fact that my recovery is Amon Ra 1.7.0. bear any significance in relation to the problem?
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
Amon Ra is not the problem, as I flashed COS-DS with Amon Ra with success. Unfortunately, without further informations, we cannot help you. Do you have the Android SDK installed? If not, install it, because it gives you access to the adb command.

With it, you can extract a boot log which will tell you (and us) what is the problem.

For what it's worth, my blind guess is that you don't have SPL 1.00.0013d. What SPL and radio do you have? Do you know how to read those values? [They are shown when you go in fastboot mode.]
[G1 Android Development] brian(::
i dont know why, but this rom has always been rather sluggish on my phonee, any ideas? im already running the 2708 radio ;p

kernels?

Bug report

Flashed ROM dated March 12, 2011. Installed some applications through android market, but some directly from backed up directory on SD-card.

Opened market, checked My applications tab. Not all of installed applications are in the list. Looks like there is a bug because phone system lists all installed applications, but market updater does not see applications that installed from my sd-card.
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
I am VERY impressed with the speed of this ROM. I never thought that a Gingerbread ROM would run well on my phone, but this is one of the fastest ROMs I have ever used! I really like the ability to change themes easily. Also, the battery life has been awesome.

The only problem I have is what was mentioned earlier, where the launcher doesn't stay in memory. I replaced ADW with LauncherPro.

I'm definitely going to stick with this ROM for awhile. Thanks!

Apps2Ext problem

I have enabled Apps2Ext through COS options and have left install location to automatic but after downloading updates to apps my memory is full. I have rebooted a few times thinking that would fix the problem and even manually tried to move them to SD but it doesnt make a difference....the memory is still full.
[G1 Android Development] juaninamillion:
I've had two reboots tonight. Really weird! It's never happened before on this rom. I may try to reflash tomorrow.
[G1 Android Development] good223:
Does this require Clockwork Mode recovery or can you get by with Amon RA?
[G1 Android Development] xelapr:
Amon RA is fine I flash it without problem. The only problem that I am having is the green color in the rom. I have a mytouch 1.2. :confused:
[G1 Android Development] xelapr:
I read in the release note of pershoot that this kernel can't be used for ginger. Did you find one specific for this rom? Or did you flash it with out any changes?
[G1 Android Development] xelapr:
thanks for the tip weird tried that one and it didn't work the one that worked for me was this one from the same thread.

EBI0 (32b) port for 2.22.* radio users (includes 32a MT1.2/Fender):

ezBiffTestKernel20110222-ebi0_S.zip

A little bit laggy with this kernel but it get rid of the green tint...Thanks...
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
HOME in memory works fine for me. If you have issues deselect it and select it again. Run fix_permissions. Or take it off completely and use the System persistent from ADWLauncher or take away the COS lock home in mem options, open up adb shell/terminal and:

mount -o rw,remount /system

echo "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1" >> /system/build.prop

echo "ro.HOME_APP_MEM=2048" >> /system/build.prop

sync 2;reboot
[G1 Android Development] ralphclark:
Install Titanium Backup, it has a feature in one of its menus to repair broken links between apps and the Market.
[G1 Android Development] Galaxen:
Been playing around abit with this ROM on my 32A. All I can say that is working smooth with just minor quirks (dont know if its me or the ROM.. be back on those issues). Had one random reboot while the phone was charging (via USB) I do have the last_kmsg if anyone is interested...

Battery life from 98% to 84% overnight (9h).. its acceptable imo but could ofcourse be better.. how are yours?

Now I wonder if the developers recommend using autokiller memory optimizer or is the gingerbread system preset good enough!?

Also what CPU freq can be used!? 528 is default, is it cause of stability or battery life? can 576 or higher be set?

thx for bringing GB to my 32A.
[G1 Android Development] juaninamillion:
Don't use auto killer. I downloaded one two days ago and started getting random reboots. Never had them before. I've removed it but I still got one today. Any one else get them? It's getting pretty annoying!

install location/COS settings

First and foremost, this ROM is awesome and rocks on my G1 compared to Froyo. It's generally easy to use and I have few issues since my first attempts.

However, I found a possible issue for some with installing apps to sd-ext. This may be the same on all ROMs for all I know.

So, here goes:

In trying to write my python mass apk adb install script (working - I'll post it on the forums soon if anyone cares to use something like that), I found that apps were being installed to SD/Fat instead of sd-ext. This slowed down the installs and of course put the apps in the wrong place which made testing kind of tedious.

While investigating the issue I was having, I ran firerat's scripts for a2sdext and found that the zip provided in this thread for legacy apps2sdext does the same thing - good - it is better and faster to flash that in recovery than to run adb shell and monkey around there. I also tried firerat's patch script just to make sure everything was ok - it was. Along the way I did the MTD patch - cool - but a red herring to this issue.

What I discovered is that in COS settings, you have to set the install location to automatic even if you check the options to move apps2sdext; to me, this is non-intuitive and confusing.

In other words, if you set the option to external *even with those boxes checked*, your apps will always install to /mnt/asec or .android_secure which are fat partition install locations, not the sd-ext partition location.

Somehow, automatic setting works with the apps2sdext option and puts the installed files in the right place but the "external location" option is not overridden by those checked boxes - it maybe could or should be, or at least some explanation of how it works could be included somewhere.

Thanks again for the ROM. :)
[G1 Android Development] :
Well still screwed for me and as I use an earlier version of ADW how stable there lock home in memory option is we will see I suppose.

And I've run permission, I've sacrificed three chickens and a goat, selected and de-selected till the phone switched off in protest to my frustration, and if it's not working I'm really not sure what you expect removing the option will do as well turning it off will have exactly the same effect surely?

Anyway I've gone back to F4T 182 and won't be flashing for a few days or when I'm bored :D And will try your suggestions then and report back. It is a shame as its really the only thing that is stopping me from using this rom and including it in my sig.
[G1 Android Development] cosmique:
amazing, i love this ROM
[G1 Android Development] good223:
Alright thanks. Are you using the stock kernel included in the rom to get the green color?
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
I entered that into terminal, and it seems to have fixed my problem. Now this ROM is perfect for me. Thanks! :D

By the way, has anybody found some more themes (MDPI) that can be used with the T-Mobile theme engine for this ROM? I've only found JAMT and MinimalMagic. Are there any others? I like to change my theme a lot.
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
there is one called Rover... I think:o
[G1 Android Development] MattDrumz:
I checked, there is one called Rover, but it says that it is only for HDPI phones. It says that MDPI will be coming eventually though.
[G1 Android Development] uvt_novice:
Did you partition your SD-card before using option app2sd??? You have to partition your sd-card (sd-ext2/3, SWAP, and FAT32) before using app2sd. I'm using this ROM, and all applications have been moved to sd-ext without any problems.
[G1 Android Development] crypticc:
With lock home in memory turned on. Very difficult to complete basic tasks. E.g. android keyboard keeps getting kicked out of memory whole using gmail. (Xda okay :). Built in application or memory settings reports 0 free all time with no user srtvices (just closed keyboard) running. where es task manager reports 12Mb free for same. Any ideas? I don't believe compcache is way forward.

Biggest hog in reports seems to be status bar and messaging services but they only account for tiny amount of potential memory anyway so presumably core rom isn't leaving anything left.

Ez original regularly had 25Mb headroom with same apps installed.
[G1 Android Development] Galaxen:
Some reoccurring issues seems to be when changing windows or popups from some apps.. screen just goes black and you only see notification bar but nothing else. But if you go back to home and then kill app or whatever.. then try again it works fine.. sometimes a restart help when restarting app doenst help.

Example I tried to go into CPU settings in COS settings.. I didnt see any options.. just a black screen. I went out did some other things.. and went back into CPU settings.. then I saw all options.

Running fix permissions!? first line of cure!?
[G1 Android Development] yeticomes:
I don't have these problem with the ROM. Today I made a no-wipe update to 0312 full (thanks a lot for the new zips) and it is snappy enough for daily use and battery use is great.

Quadrant shows me 312 and I always hav minimum 15 MB memory free. I use Zeam launcher with 2 widgets, CC 18%, no JIT.

Really good work!
[G1 Android Development] luminoso:
Amazing work! So far, NO problems/bugs detected.
[G1 Android Development] Sheist!:
Any idea why COS-DS recommends Clockwork over Amon-RA, and what is the difference (really) between ext3 and ext4? I have always used Amon-RA 1.7.0 and am very reluctant to try Clockwork again. (I know it has no console, but I think that is the only difference?)

I did convert to ext4 as was recommended there, but was just curious if ext3 is "better, worse, or the same"?

RE: (see front page)

.Use ClockWork recovery !

.for legacy a2sdext your sdcard must have a Ext4 partition (order: FAT/Ext)
[G1 Android Development] Galaxen:
I use Amon RA and it worked fine.. its just preference.. fried och scrambled eggs.. its eggs in the end :)
[G1 Android Development] juaninamillion:
Why is the Google search widget doodoo on the latest update.
[G1 Android Development] freaktractor:

[G1 Android Development] arohacs:
Yes, it is partitioned - image attached.

If you don't mind telling me, what settings do you use for "install location" and other options with regard to apps2sdext?

Also, did you flash the legacy apps2sd after the ROM, or did you flash the ROM over the top of a froyo ROM without flashing legacy apps2sd?

If none of those applied, did you use a firerat script at any point?

Thanks for your help.
[G1 Android Development] crypticc:
I agree it is blazing fast and smooth. I got 340 on quadrant and saw 347 by fluke (not repeated - okay maybe once).

But kinda pointless if I can't type an email without enabling compcache.

Grr, what a price to pay, status bar power control or usable memory?

Might uninstall and reinstall gmail to see of that at least can be recovered
