Hi - can I check something pls. Way back when I first installed a FR version, all my apk's were moved to sd-ext that I don't use always. Can I assume that this won't happen again with the new one that includes FR sd-ext method. (i.e. no automove, but is done app by app manually in the applications settings)

?

p.s. I did see the OP talking about enabling move in cos settings, just want to check that if that is done it won't move the whole lot without asking.

Thank you

Chris

ok #sh /sdcard/fr-patch141.txt work

swappines ask and work,

swap 96 and enter and not work,syntax error
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
if i`m not wrong, the old FR script mounts ext partition to /data/app and automatic puts apps there. the new method of sdext location move installed apps to /sdext/app which is not /data/app

do you have a swap partition? what`s its size? if you have a swap partition it will detect it, and will turn swap off/on. if you choose swap into a file (on fat32 partition) ... i don`t know what it does because i never used it :)

later edit: don`t "enter". choose "n" you don`t want swap into a file. -- and if you have anymore questions about frpatch, ask me in private or on frpatch topic. let`s let roalex with his usefull hints for rom development topic.
[G1 Android Development] crypticc:
Saw this in our build.prop

ro.vold.sdextonboot=1

Saw this in github

https://github.com/NameLessJedi/android_system_vold

I guess that means bind mount isn't enabled by default, which is good.
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
it means its MOUNTED on boot and enabled on boot.

You get to pick where to put them though, its hardly a issue ;)

if you put it to 0 sd-ext wont be mounted on boot though.
[G1 Android Development] newellj79:
I think I'm going to try this rom tonight. It op says that the full version requires 86meg system partition. Can somebody please explain this. Do I need to make some partition on the sd card aside from ext4/fat? If so how. Thank you in advance.
[G1 Android Development] yo9gnc:
if you have at least danger spl will do.
[G1 Android Development] kingjehu:
I installed the light version from a clean install and it takes up 87MB.

Has anyone successfully installed LauncherPro on 04122011 ?

I've restored all my apps with Titanium without problems, but restoring, installing from market or installing the apk itself won't work for LauncherPro 0.8.4.1.

Always the same error: Not enough space, while having nearly 200MB free...
[G1 Android Development] newellj79:
Thank you for the in depth answer.
[G1 Android Development] ThdDude:
Updated my theme for

[G1 Android Development] AndroidKills:
tried to flash the latest one, get the tinted screen, flash the test kernel and its always stuck at boot logo. :( this rom is one of the best one's i've used. someone help please:(

And it worked perfectly on my last flash(4-6-2011)
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
great job, really refined everything works (but slow), thanks roalex.

BUT

WHY DOES EVERY GINGERBREAD ROM THAT EXISTS SUCK IN SPEED?? EVEN ONES WITH THE AUTOKILLING KERNEL ARE MILES SLOWER THAN YOUR AVERAGE FROYO????
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
That's like asking why Windows Vista sucks on a 486. With 32MB of RAM. And an ISA graphics card. And no Sound Blaster... no, just a cheap clone.

If that's even possible. But then, the G1 isn't supposed to have Eclair, much less the Froyo that the MT3G has or the Gingerbread we're running now.

-BREAK-

So, I wiped Cache and Dalvik-Cache, did not wipe system nor SD partition. I wanted not to have to reinstall everything. Yes, I did read that a wipe was very highly recommended on this latest version, but I read a few posts later that someone did upgrade without a wipe. SOOOoooooOOOO, I didn't wipe because I hate getting my phone all set up each time and I don't like Titanium etc. etc. etc. haven't needed any of that before. So now, when I update, it's as though I wiped clean. All my apps are gone.

Wait... might edit this... checking some things....

[EDIT!]

So, turns out, I set the ROM to allow app moving. No joy. So I look at Logcat, and I see a reference to the filesystem /sd-ext having uncorrected errors. I rebooted to recovery, did mount -a, and it mounted /sd-ext just fine. Reboot, again, puzzled, and reread a few posts back that I also have to set the application location in Settings --> Applications. But, when I boot the phone, there are my apps. For S&G, I go into Settings --> Applications, and I don't see a reference to app location. I can only find in Settings --> COS Settings the option to allow app moving.

I don't understand it yet. But I'll keep plugging along.

[/EDIT!]
[G1 Android Development] newellj79:
Ok so I'm testing this rom to see if its a keeper for us (wife and me). Came from f4t which rocked. My question is, swap. Would it speed things up if I setup a swap partition on my SD. If so what program do I use to enable it once partitioned, and what is the recomended size?
[G1 Android Development] lakersFan88:
Screen off animation

The screen off animation doesnt work?
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
Ooh, I'm liking the 4/12 version.

@newellj79: swap might help you multitask, so you could try it if you find your backgrounded tasks getting killed too much or if you have trouble holding onto a wifi connection. just beware that while swap gives you more memory, you still have the same cpu, so it might slow things down a bit especially if you have a lot of swap. i used to use firerat's AIO script with zero swappiness on a ~50MB swap partition, and it worked for me.
[G1 Android Development] cityeyes:
The last few lite versions have included the themes as well as a bunch of ringtones for some reason. I have no idea if that could cause it or what.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
i see what your point is, but gingerbread isn't that different from froyo, just a couple of added features. so why is it so much laggier than froyo???

From what I can tell, the app launches are amazingly fast, and just as fast as froyo, but the entire experience is really laggy. (as in low framerate)

on a side note, the apps seem to be a little less sticky in memory than froyo (but a little swap/compcache helps)

so if someone can make it smoother than it is, like froyo, i'll use it all the time.

I just don't know what the problem is. is it graphics accelleration????

Thanks for reading... lol
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
I could be wrong (probably am) but didn't this version of GB repurpose some of the video RAM via the radio image so's we could use it for other stuff?

[G1 Android Development] hrk:
Good work with the explaination, but PLEASE FOR OUR OWN SAKE edit all the usages of "flash RAM" with "flash memory". I know your definition is perfect but that'll only lead people to complain "I am low on ram" while they're really low on storage and we'll never understand which one they mean. :D

Even Google's official Android bug tracker suffers from this issue of "untechnical people" reporting bugs referring to "RAM" but meaning "storage".
[G1 Android Development] ehb224:
2.35.6.12 did bootloop. Seemed to be hanging up when the volume was being set from the logcat I viewed. Too tired to capture it. More important to me right now to have a working phone. Pershoot 2.35.6.11 works and gets rid of the green. So far everything seems to be working but have to reinstall all the apps in the morning to know for sure.
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
In my own experience, I have used CM-6.1, ezGingerbread and COS-DS-Full and ezGingerbread was the fastest and snappiest of them, as COS-DS-Full was as slow as CM-6.1 (maybe a bit more).

I have not yet tried COS-DS-Light (and I will probably do in order to get a better comparison), but I guess it might be that all of CM goodness is taking its toll. :)

Using ezGingerbread, the only goodness I currently miss is the notification-power-controls (or the extended power widget). People needs may vary.
[G1 Android Development] crypticc:
It sounds like you are complaining about one of side effects of JIT = memory and on demand compilation. Turn off JIT!

Edit: oh and when you want to exclaim, use an exclamation point! It is the most emotive character available, and doesn't come across as shouting!
[G1 Android Development] Dukenukemx:
Really? Turning that off will make it snappy? I'm using Froyo by Laszlo, and nothing is delayed. Everything is instant, and snappy.

Is there a way to get gingerbread roms that fast?
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Why do people always compare froyo to gingerbread? You do realize this phone was not really built for gingerbread so its going to have a few issues. Give the dev's time and they will figure it all out.
[G1 Android Development] crypticc:
Lol.ever turned JIT on in Froyo. Trust me, it's worse
[G1 Android Development] Paul Shirley:
You won't see it till you do a full wipe.

Tried it myself, AFAIK everything was working apart from the missing menu options but there's sure to be something waiting to bite and I think different app2sd options might give different results. Do the wipe.

BTW: as usual the signup wizard FC'd, this time closing the keyboard as soon as it reached the time menu sorted it.

Also as usual Google backup sync fell over trying to reinstall apps - can we please have /data/local or /data/local/download bumped out to sd-ext by default? Right now it's simply not possible for the account restore to succeed with even a couple of large apps installed... like Angry Birds.
[G1 Android Development] ph0b0z:
Hmm, i just wonder how the chances are to get GB a little less RAM-hungry for the G1/32B in the future?
[G1 Android Development] newellj79:
I just disabled jit and enable a 32mg swap partition using swapper2. Will report my results later.
[G1 Android Development] TriforceKommando:
If it fails, try without JIT and without Swap, works for me..

It work well!

My userinit.sh on sd-ext didn't run on new 12 Apr version. No change from previous except this rom version. Logcat to follow soon but any ideas to check? Per earlier post I noticed a new parameter in build.prop about SD extra mount but didn't meddle with it.
[G1 Android Development] JuliusCes:
I have finally decided to install this ROM. So far this really looks good and usable.

I have one question regarding the gmail app. Has this been removed from the ROM, or did I do something wrong during install? I installed the full version of the ROM.

Maybe I missed something in the OP section and I have read it a couple of times.

Cheers,

Question

I'm noticing what might be a bug with this rom. When I mount my sdcard while my phone is on, it mounts my ext partition to my pc, unlike firerat's aio patch for froyo that keeps it mounted to your phone only. I was wondering is there a fix for this, or should I just mount via recovery only?
[G1 Android Development] fantasyxu:
It works, thx! :)
[G1 Android Development] roalex:
i dont think it has anything to do with the mount script, must be something else, maybe something with the kernel.
[G1 Android Development] linuxhall:

Alright so I'm just coming from froyo from trout and had alot of issues with that, broken calander -.-

I downloaded and flashed the 2/18 release and since its light i'm missing some apps like the youtube app, i make it a habit to always wipe before flashing... so do I run 2/15 or flash 2/18 over 2/15?

edit: or would i be safe just flashing gapps-mdpi?

Also... forgive the noob question, but i forget... is it best to flash gapps before or after the rom? I spent a long time running cyanogen nightlies, flashing them over the previous one.
[G1 Android Development] mjsell2:
Not trying to be a smart arse, but why not just download it from the market?
[G1 Android Development] Rmag37:
... Thanks XD

I just assumed you couldn't get the Google Apps from the market.
[G1 Android Development] dmwase88:
The radio and SPL don't march.....you will need the 2.22.27.08 radio to work with that SPL....download it from the thread were you got that SPL from.

Looks like a great ROM. I can't wait to try it on my spare g1. But I have 2 questions before I install.

1. Is there any reason we have to use Clockworkmod recovery?

2. Do you recommend any particulat SPL?

Thanks and can't wait to test it out.

Recovery

Is clockwork recovery mandatory for this ROM? I have Amon Ra's installed and would rather not switch unless necessary.
[G1 Android Development] unkleremis:
Thank you for the in-depth review. I have a few I want to flash to see how they work and now this will definitely be one of them.

[G1 Android Development] ezterry:
HTC has not given us a change log.. so we don't have one.

Of course most of your answers are in the 2708+ thread:

1.33.2005 is btw an unmodified engineering SPL (ie. has full fastboot access).. originally launched on the sapphire but also since tested on the dream; and used for the larger /system size.. it really matches the default layout of rogers dreams so its and most 1.33.* SPLs work on both devices. (not always with an optimal partition layout)

Somewhere HTC has a 1.33.2013 SPL that is the same as 1.33.0013 with the same full fastboot access. But it has not been leaked to us.. If we had that one (and not the 1.33.2005 Crios re-named) we could successfully boot the 2708+ kernels and keep the fastboot commands.. Unfortunately with the fake 1.33.2013 on most google results we may never find the real one if its not posted front and center.

Currently you have a choice on the dream:

1) use 1.33.2005 and not be able to boot 2708+ kernels thus loose the extra ram

2) use 1.33.0013 and have a small /system and /data and no fastboot but 2708+ kernels will boot.

3) use 1.33.0013d and have a slightly larger /system + /data partition than 1.33.2005 gives + some fastboot access + 2708+ kernels.

For dream users this simplifies to keep 1.33.2005 on the older radios.. or install the newer radios with 1.33.0013d. most froyo+ roms are too large to fit on the unmodified 1.33.0013 and its harder to fix your phone if something goes wrong.

(and yes 2.22.27.08 and 2.22.28.25 both work with the 1.33.0013d SPL.. no change log exists.. these are unmodifed for HTC.. but 2.22.28.25 is on the latest version of all froyo 2.2 magic OTAs world wide.. 2.22.27.08 was only on an older version of the TMUS 2.2 MT3G ota. Most have also found better battery with 2.22.28.25)

@roalex

To fix che screen on/off animations there is a possibility to take out the right files from the stable cyan7 from the hero release?

The right files i think or are in system/lib (libsurfaceflinger.so an libsurfaceflinger_client.so) or, here there is a description in the third post,of the file...

With this,i only would give a simply help,to try to fix the animations:)

If there is another possibility to activate swap then please let me know.

Same as on 04122011, I can't install LauncherPro no matter what i try.

All other apps could be restored by Titanium or installed from market, except for LauncherPro and GhostlySMS which I wanted to try.

Both say: Insufficient storage, but have around 200mb free internal, 3,3GB free on SD.

I DON'T have a sd-ext partition, only swap, but it doesn't work with an unpartitioned sd-card either.

This seems to be related to Magpie or xVold, never had that problem before.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Did anyone here install LauncherPro successfully on the last 2 builds?

[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Thank you!

I hope by perfect you mean it technically is accurately referred to as RAM, and not that I think that I'm right and everyone else is wrong :D because the latter certainly is not intended.

However, I do agree with you. Terms can be confusing, and I'm annoyed by that same thing as you. I just didn't consider that while writing the post. I think an even better choice of words would be "flash media". Some people would still confuse "memory" with "RAM", for example. In that light, I've edited the post and I sincerely appreciate your feedback on it!

;)Cheers!
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
Sorry if it's been asked before, but, how would I disable swap without removing my SD swap partition?

xvold probably mounts /sd-ext too late, that's the reason why Firerat still mounts /sd-ext with a script.
