Well, I want to know what the secret is. This morning I unplugged my phone at 5:45 with 100% charge and at 6:45 it was down to 88%. I only had WiFi, 3G, sync on. That shouldn't be that big a load. When I look at "What's Using the Battery" (Settings > About Phone > Battery Usage IIRC) it says "Android OS" takes up 54%.

I'll have to play with it a[f]t[er] work today and see what I come up with. Regardless, there's got to be a better way to saving the battery than turning off everything all the time and having "just" a phone.

Seriously, those of you with batteries that last days, tell us, what's your secret? Please??? :D

EDIT-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=

Battery's at 68% after 7 hours 40 minutes (7 2/3 or 7.6666666 hours) on battery. That's an average 8.87% per hour discharge rate or one percent every 6.76 minutes. At this rate it would take 676 minutes to drain 100%, or just over 11 hours.

What I have running besides the apps in the background:

2G only, Data enabled, but Sync off (with constant signal all night, so no searching for a tower to drain it like at work). Bluetooth is disabled. Screen off nearly the entire time, just a few seconds here and there to check the time.

Also, based on things I've read elsewhere, I braved the dagrons (for the SB fans) and disabled JIT. Compcache is at 26%. CPU is 245/614 ONDEMAND. However, these shouldn't make a difference on battery drain -- at least, not if I'm not using the phone (it was sitting idle the whole time). In addition, all of my eyecandy is turned off. I like eyecandy, but I don't need it. I'll get a feel for the phone this way then change things up a bit and see if it gets any smoother.

Gotta run!

Edit 2: Crap! Just plugged it into the computer to copy some files back over that I need for work and found ADB is running!

Hi all guys

I want to try COS rom.

I just upgrade to clockwork recovery, my SPL is 1.33.0008 and I parted my sd FAT/ext3

One question before flashing, I noticed that there are no Gapps inside the zip, so where I can find the Gapps zip before flash?

tks for response

merlos
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Pretty sure they're built-in with the ROM. I wiped my SD and phone flat clean and I still had GMail and Market on the phone when I got it running.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
The rom only has the minimum non download-able Gapps.
[G1 Android Development] hkt03:
gave this a try just to see how it runs and I gotta say I'm impressed.. on my phone its pretty quick for what it is. it does lag a little but it runs faster than froyo did on my g1. I don't know if I could run this as a daily though.. great work!
[G1 Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
Flash this last night on my retired G1 for my son as I have a G2 now. It runs pretty smooth and stable than the CM7 I had on it. Good work!

More keyboard languages

Hi there, trying now this ROM. so far all ok. Thanks all who made it possible! ;)

It is a bit slower than cm6.1 but still intresting. The problem i have is that keyboard doesn't have a russian language support :( I was using a gingerbread keyboard in CM6.1 and it had a russian and other languages too.

Is there any way to add it?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
I can add it on the next build, atm working on it :)
[G1 Android Development] tonyles:
r u guys experienced any apps refreshing symptom? i had my facebook, skype apps acted weirdly, after around one minute i open the apps, it tends to refresh itself by quitting the apps and reactivated again.

i wondering could it be my 3G bandwidth problem or the ROM, please share and point out if u have any idea about this symptom.
[G1 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
No, I don't want to uninstall them. I wanted to know if I could take them from this rom and use them with CM 6.1.0.
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Im gonna do a wipe this time. Wish me luck. I dont like to flash over more than once. Ill report back.
[G1 Android Development] Effdee:
post a logcat so we can see why it is force close
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Very nice! Not a single issue here with 0419. Nice work roalex!
[G1 Android Development] Jungledrums:
Yep...I have been having the exact same problem for the last few loads too. Not being able to move the apps to phone memory means their widgets can't be used.
[G1 Android Development] ThdDude:
try removing the app. Then go to settings, applications, preferred install location, and select internal device storage. Then reinstall the app should work
[G1 Android Development] enelyam:
Well, i flashed the 04192011 and everything went fine this time. Oh well at least it looked like that until the phone booted up. When it made it to the home screen i went to ssettings and checked about the phone it says its still on 04072011. It was kind of odd it made it to the home screen without the welcome and sign in screen lol! So i guess for some reason im stuck at 04072011 version of this ROM. Like i said, not a big deal since i am very happy with the way the 0407 is doing for me, but like i said, its kind of odd that the phone is actually acting weird. Isnt it? Like i just said, i flashed the 04192011 and everything went fine, but then when i went to check the version on settings it still says 04072011.
[G1 Android Development] darkshino:

04/19 release

I just flashed the 04/19 release and wifi is working now. I can't find any issues right now. Note that I didn't wipe everything, but flashed the 04/19 above the 04/17 release.
[G1 Android Development] Jungledrums:
Thanks for the idea, but I had tried this and still no luck. In fact, after setting application to install to internal memory, cant install, error = installation is unsuccessful.

Something seems wrong with the way the latest ROMs (since 11th April builds) handling applications being installed or moving to internal memory.
[G1 Android Development] sada23:
I am seeing the issue with app locations too. When the ROM is installed there is enough space in the internal memory. I setup the install location to Sd-ext in COS-settings-> application-Sotrage location.

In TB, I dont see any SD-ext listed. When I restore my apps, It restores the apps to internal memory and I cant restore all the apps. I do get low memory notification.

I then have to move the apps from internal memory to SD-ext using Settings->Applications-ManageApplications.

This has been observed since last few ROM versions.
[G1 Android Development] strages:
cant seem to install apps, system insufficient mem....

any help?
[G1 Android Development] sada23:
Try moving some apps from phone to sd-ext using Settings->ManageApplications option and selecting the app to me moved to sd-ext.
[G1 Android Development] strages:
alright, going to try that, however the phone says it has memore enough.. trying out now
[G1 Android Development] strages:
still failing to install... got enough mem on phone and on sd ext... damn strange and frustating!
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
there are NO options to set default location in COSsettings, they are under Settings, Applications, if you see them in COS you might have to wipe since thats how it use to be a long time ago.
[G1 Android Development] strages:
Dont really get what youre saying :)

What i did: wipe phone, install rom

did some installation of apps.. most of them installed. then wanted to install launcher pro... and it fails...

then wanted to install an apk from the internet , failed also.

after that installed youtube app. did install...

in settings applications.. i got it to system default,, but got the same problem when putting it on deault for phone mem...
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Some applications want to be on INTERNAL, thats the thing and it looks like they see your install location as external! Reboot your phone, start a logcat (adb logcat > log.txt) Set default to internal, install Launcher Pro if it dosn't work post the log. ALSO clean up /data/local/download .
[G1 Android Development] Jungledrums:
I suspect launcher pro install fails because it forces an install to phone memory (not sd card, regardless of settings). I have exactly the same problem with "clocksync". It wants to install to phone memory only...therefore it fails install with the latest few builds.

Basically...anything that wants to go to phone memory has problems.
[G1 Android Development] sada23:
Seems the installation of apps does need to be fixed. Whenever the default install location is selected, it does not hold good. The apps still try to get installed in the phone memory.
[G1 Android Development] Unkjcr:
I have an annoying "bug". I restored all my apps with titanium backup to the internal memory, but after a reboot all my apps got transfered to the sd-ext partition. The major problem is that after that the apps simply disappear. In setting i had set the permission to install only in internal memory. What's wrong here?
[G1 Android Development] sada23:
As mentioned earlier, The apps installation does need to be fixed. I guess most of the users here are flashing the new ROMs directly over the older installations and are not seeing any issues.

Wipe and clean install have problems.
[G1 Android Development] strages:
Here is the log.txt ;) it did not install, also i dont know how to clean up /data/local/download ...
[G1 Android Development] Unkjcr:
This ROM is curious then. Usually we have problems with no wipe updates. :P So is there any oldest release that i can install where this issue didn't exist?
[G1 Android Development] sada23:
The one I know of is "COS-DS-03282011-full-signed". This doesnt mean, I have tested all of them since then.
[G1 Android Development] Unkjcr:
So in theory, if i install that release, make the restore of the apps and flash the 04/19 release without wiping it should work?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
Either a. open the terminal or b. connect to PC and use "adb shell".

Then type the following commands, each one followed by ENTER key:

su <----- only if you are using the terminal
rm -f /data/local/download/*
exit

[G1 Android Development] Joskevic:
I installed the light version 04122011 on my Magic 32A, but as with all Gingerbread ROMs I already tried... GPS is working very bad. I have many many drops of the GPS signal and it takes a couple of minutes to restore the signal which is not so useful in difficult traffic situations. I tried different navigation programs (Sygic, Navigon, Google Maps/Navigation), I tried different kernels, but none of them give the same steady GPS signal as with a Froyo ROM.

Has anyone else these problems? Is there a solution for this?
[G1 Android Development] TriforceKommando:
Came from your rom and already did ohsaka wipe between versions.. ^^

Would a logcat help?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
It doesn't FC for me, so w/e you did, don't do it ? ;) (check md5 of the download, check /tmp/recovery.log after install)
[G1 Android Development] TriforceKommando:
Hmm I think I will wipe everything to death again with the next flash and then see the recovery log!

I only change ADW to ADW_Ex and delete some apps from the system partition (wifi tether for example).

Also I put in my bootanimation and change ringtones - then resign and that's all..
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
You might run over the system size when you flash your "version", something might not be getting copied then, thats why always check the log .

i think once it is upstreamed to cm builds, it'll be much easier. great concept though!

flashed this rom yesterday, really love it compared to previous builds, well done!
[G1 Android Development] nookxplode:
When I flashed 4/19 version after Ohsaka superwipe and normal wipe. The install goes great, but the phone doesn't but into the setup wizard. I notice one other user stated that as well. Anybody else experiencing this? Just curious. Nice work on the Rom by the way.

On a separate note can anybody point me to a good resource for learning how to build roms?
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
Setup made issues for some so i disabled, its hardly needed.

@azrash not sure, but such things are up to each user usually.
[G1 Android Development] Jungledrums:
I find it handy as it loads all my wifi network configs, wallpaper, etc. Is there anyway to manually run the setupwizard after the initial boot to save me having to re-enter all this stuff if I do a wipe?

settings

I noticed, that settings (com.android.settings) consumes ~14MB of RAM. Is this a normal behavior, or a ROM-specific?

(COS-DS 04/19 w/ stock kernel)
[G1 Android Development] Effdee:
wow :eek:

you mean when you are using the settings app to view what is using memory it sees itself using memory?

I'm certain this is normal
[G1 Android Development] ximmox:
It does this once you connect your phone to your google account under settings > accounts. For restoring your settings this has to be checked under settings > privacy (don't know the real translation on english phones).

No need for that stupid setupwizard, I'm glad roalex got rid of it. :)
[G1 Android Development] Effdee:
your translation is correct :D

Force close issues

Having an issue with some apps force closing since the past few updated versions. Re-installing the apps nor a fix_permissions doesn't resolve the issues.

Any suggestions for resolution?

Wipe everything to death with Ohsaka!
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
What i do is wipe between each build manually. I use Clockworkmod and i factory wipe, wipe cache partition, format boot, and then format system and then flash ROM and after boot i skip setup and go straight to options, privacy, and do a "Reset Everything." Then after i install apps i setup all settings then reboot and then do a fix permissions thru terminal and the rom runs great after that. Good luck!
[G1 Android Development] enelyam:
Its funny but, the only way i made it to 04192011 was updating one by one after the 04072011 update lol! The reason for that, i really dont know it and i will not ask lol! But thats the way it goes ha ha! Even got my phone to cupcake and for some reason it would not accept the 04192011 update from the original rom.
[G1 Android Development] enelyam:
Wow, i got say i spend a couple hours working on the phone trying to update it to the latest version. I even changed the SPL a couple times and even completely wiped the sd card. So i started from scratch. But it was well worth it, at least if the phone keeps eunning that fast :)
[G1 Android Development] nookxplode:
Hey thanks for answering my questions about partitions. As far as swap goes have you taken a look at this app. It can enable disable and resize swap on the fly if I understand it correctly:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=644706
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
Wiping more than once in a row is crazy. It won't hurt or help. It helps your neuroticism, maybe, lol.

Anyone coming from COS-DS prior to April 11th should wipe because the Apps2SD-EXT is completely different. Just don't waste time wiping more than once.
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
I've noticed that when I run cgSpeedo it takes FOR EVAH to get a lock. However, I also have GPS Status installed and for some reason GPS Status gets a lock almost instantly. I would recommend trying that app as a simple troubleshooting tool as perhaps it's a common GPS library or function call that all the other apps are using that maybe GPS Status has hardcoded within, bypassing standard calls. I ASSUME, I really don't know. But I do know that after getting the nearly instantaneous fix with GPS Status that cgSpeedo picks up just as instantly afterward. Just a thought.

Thanks for the link, but that's for a swap FILE, not a swap PARTITION. I have the latter, and partitions and I don't get along well when I mess with them (which is why I want to try disabling swap without removing the partition -- something as of yet nobody has been able to tell me how to do). Anywhoo, thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for ;)
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
So, I'm running... full-04172011... and I've decided for S&Gs to turn on *ALL* the radios I can. WiFi is on and connected, GPS is on, sync is on, 3G is on, I have signal (though not great signal) on the phone, Bluetooth is on (but not connected to anything), I've enabled location by both wireless networks and GPS, and have data AND background data enabled, as well as auto-sync. I've turned on everything I can find.

After 2.25 hours, I've lost just under 25%. So I should be able -- in this configuration -- to achieve nine hours of "use" out of this charge cycle.

Frankly, I'm impressed. Unfortunately, if you're reading this, I've jinxed it. :shrug: BUT, I don't really remember what my battery life was before with EVERYTHING enabled. I'll try again soon with a typical most-things-disabled-but-still-having-2G-data-and-sync, and see what results I get then. If I'm not terribly mistaken, I should be able to leave everything useful (get my e-mails pushed to me, etc.) turned on, turn off things I don't need (3G, bluetooth, WiFi, GPS) and still get a full working day out of the battery without charging. I still would, of course, to maintain battery health, but it would be good to know I could go out roaming the 18 schools I support and not need to charge my phone by USB at every workstation I get to.

Crap, I might even leave location services running so Google Maps can see how slow the traffic is moving wherever I drive. :cool:

Hello all,

I tried this ROM for the first time today (full-04192011) coming from CM 6.1+2708 kernel. I get FC at the end of the Google Account setup wizard, and I can't figure out why. I tried multiple times. Since the wizard is not finished, Home doesn't launch, so no icons to start investigating. The screen is black, except for the notification bar. Is there a workaround for that ? the only available/working controls are the notification power widget, the long press Home button, and the long press Off menu. And when I use that last one to reboot, I get stuck in a boot loop (or so it seems, more than 20min).

Also, I can't see in the first post (and haven't yet found in this loooong thread) if the "light" or "stock" versions would be more appropriate / would work better.

Anyway kudos guys ! I do hope to make this ROM my end-of-life rom for my old Magic.

Thanks for your help !
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
There's not setup wizzard on boot on this rom, download the latest, its in the first post. Coming form cm 6 you need to wipe everything, including sd-ext.
