Um, ext4.. as much or as little as you need. (I have just under 512MB on my HTC Dream.. using about 150.. and I'm not sure if part of that isn't a lost backup, or some other hacking I did at somepoint, Many sapphire uses don't use/don't have an ext partition at all)
swap none (it won't use it unless you add your own scripts)
CustomMTD is not needed but can be set to "87 2" for 120MB userdata (good for *not* binding /data/data to the SDCard.. even if most/all apps may need to be there)
(For anyone using cMTD my goal is to keep system < 87MB so that is a safe value to use)
No clue.. the Wallpapers built from aosp gingerbread source don't FC... they don;t really work either since our hardware is lacking better 3d support.. but they don't Force Close..
Stick with silly 1990's screensaver things on market if you must have a live wallpaper.. its about all this old phone is up to. But remember even those effectively add another service to your phone. reducing ram for anything else...

Okay so just to clarify, I grab the latest ezGB and flash that, then flash your latest kernel?
Um.. kernel is included *in* the rom...
(come now.. [almost] no one downloads stand alone kernels .. at current the 20110828 ezgb build has 1751 unique downloads in a week... the v1.5.1 stand alone kernel has 291 in 3 weeks .. and that is for both the gingerbread and froyo version.. as I said the 1.5.1 kernel is the one included in the 20110828 build)
Sorry for these stupid questions, but I use the latest GAPPS with the latest ezGB right?
THe ones at the bottom of the 2nd post.. or use rom manager to install it will ask the important questions.. and correctly install everything from there.
ezterry I am having issues with my launcher getting killed sometimes and other apps not staying in memory when I need them to.
I am using the latest release of EzGingerbread and after experimenting, I have settled with 24m CC and 24m VM heap. I have a 32A magic.
I was wondering if I could use a script to alter the oom_adj value of the apps to -17, so that they wouldn't be considered for OOM-killing. Would that have any effect?
Thanks for all your time and effort put in this.

I almost never see launcher die on a 32b dream 20m cc and 24m vm size....
(and when I do the memory is really maxed out)
Changing the oom_adj to any negitive value will make lowmemorykiller ignore it... however on a 32a device this ought not be needed.. you may wish to check what apps you have are running background services and configure them not to.

CA Cert diginotar and securiy notes
Attention: Related to https://twitter.com/#!/guardianproject/status/110878115458318336
here is a flashable update to flash over your current version of ezGignerbread/ADS Magpie:
cacert_patch_S.zip md5: 5cf6cb4643a3688a33a4bf633389d5e4
This will install two things:
1) A cacerts.bks file without the comprised diginotar key
2) A build of CaCertMan (signed with the ezGingerbread platform key) to allow the viewing/editing of certs (requires root)
Both provided by https://guardianproject.info/
The source (under GPLv3 for the binary of CaCertMan is available on the guardianprojects github under commit 7539b575eee501f
This is also the location of the cacerts file included.
I'd appreciate if some more eyes review this flashable to ensure its security.
*****************
Note this flashable will likely work on other rooted roms however note the following:
The ezGingerbread platform key is publicly known, while ezGingerbread/ADS Magpie have logic to prevent non-system apps from using this platform key; it is possible on other roms for the package to be upgraded after install, these upgrades if not from a trusted source may be modified to take advantage of the root access the app requires; thus becoming a potential attack vector on your phone to be aware of.
Roms derived from ezGb such as DietGingerbread are using different keys and thus ought not consider themselves safe from this potential attack.
*******************
Another note for the security minded I'd like to mention:
Since the last build of mine AOSP has been offline due to the attack on kernel.org; I've been manually validating the code used in ezGingerbread to make sure no surprises exist; Thus far I believe all to be clean but will not be 100% sure until a verified clean version of AOSP is back online.
Also while I believe Google intends to remove diginotar from the official android source (To match changes in other products); this has not yet been done in AOSP probably in part since its been down.

Lesson one in the git book was "since git checksums everything, it guarantees the state of the tree and will catch corruptions automatically".
The fact that every other git repo has returned to normal, but android hasn't makes me wonder.

One odd thing about repo is it just checks out the commit, rather than following a head normally. So while the checksums must still be valid.. the 'gingerbread' brach could be forced to a new commit (outside the normal flow.. ie history rewrite) and I may have missed it,
More so if it was in the repo sync of the 100 or so git repos I pull from google without modification.
Also I have always found it hard to find the "published" date on android code.. I know when a patch was made, and when google merged it.. but not when they puched it to the public.. One reason I make the checkpoint manifests.
Still.. it ought to be easy to push into all the repos from a known good + up to date source to check... Since if you push and the commit is not a fast forward, git gives much better warnings of history tampering.
(For various reasons it is not likely any tampering has happened just that it can't be completely ruled out yet either in my mind, also kernel.org is not fully restored yet, kernel code is temporarily being posted to https://github.com/torvalds/linux [to be in future a semi-official mirror])

Sorry for asking this again, but search did not yield any results. Is there a way to have an "on screen" menu for accepting and rejecting calls? The all too known sliding tab? All I am seeing now is the caller ID and no way of answering other than using the hardware keys.
Am I supposed to see that and is there a way to change that?

Compcache
I have a question regarding VM heap size. Will increasing the vm size to 32m have a negative effect to the total memory available for programs? Meaning would this affect multitasking?
Thanks for all your efforts put into this.

I may be stating the obvious but... if you want to claim some memory and hate to see the maps:NetworkLocation service eating up Dream's poor memory... you just need to disable the WI-FI option in the locating settings (wtf is it called in english?). You can keep GPS checked (so that Maps will work fine when you are using it). The sole reason NetworkLocation service runs, is to discover new AP data and send it to Google (and then increase your location precision, that's for sure but... I trust GPS enough to claim back some memory...)
The vm heap is the max size an application can grow, but it will only use what it needs.
Historically I found some applications would always grow.. but seems now I'm getting better results with vm heapn=24 than the original 18 or 16. So you can expect no negitive impact most of the time.
Some apps(browser, maps, and some games) may use the extra space while you use them thus push other apps out of ram.
How can i remove apps like Car Home and Gallery?
Sent from my Gingerbread on Sapphire using XDA App
Sent from my Gingerbread on Sapphire using XDA App
Gallery ought not be removed it is needed by other applications, Its only going to run without a user request if picassa sync is enabled, so disable picassa sync if you don't wish gallery running as a service in the background.
Apps like car home are not needed but since it only runs when launched, the phone will not go faster without it, nor will you reclaim much space on /data since the APK is on system (assuming you don't shrink cMTD anyway). Thus for most users I try to keep such extras to a minimum and request the user ignore them if they don't need them.
Ok, that said gingerbread has in general been good about cleaning up app data so you really only need remove the apk [used to be you also had to manually remove the package to clean the userdata), System apps are usually either in /system/app or /system/vender/app root explorors or adb+linux commands, titanium and others can all be used.. Many rom independent guides are already on XDA.
Once the file is removed go into recovery and clear dalvik-cache then boot the phone again. Once fully booted check all applications in application settings to see if any traces of the app remain.. if so just uninstall it.
Remember to backup before you start.

89[size=+3]EzGingerbread[/size]
(Latest release: stable v1.0)
Welcome to the ezGingerbread Rom and Development thread
Here we discuss building, testing, and patching a basic gingerbread build for the Dream Sapphire platform.
The goal is for this to be a reasonably bare bones build gingerbread build; Focusing on memory and speed performance.
[size=+2]Installation Guide (of Binaries)[/size]
While ezGingerbread remains as open source as possible this sections will provide some pointers to installing the latest distributed binary.
(The following is automatically done if installed via Rom Manager)
- Requirements
EzGingerbread works on most 32b Dream, 32b Magic (MT3G), and 32a magic devices running 2.22, and/or 3.22 radios, and will auto detect the correct configuration on install.
However the following configurations are optimal:
32b Dream: Radio-2.22.28.25 and SPL 1.33.0013d are recommended
32b Sapphire: Radio-2.22.28.25 and either SPL 1.33.0013d or 1.33.0013 (if the SPL is not already installed I recommend 1.33.0013d)
32a Sapphire w/ audio plug (ie MT2.1/fender): Radio-2.22.28.25 and either SPL 1.33.0013d or 1.33.0013 (This is likely what you already have installed, if you don't have this and your phone works you likely you don't have a MT2.1/fender)
32a Classic (no audio plug): Radio 3.22.20.17 + any SPL (however 1.33.2009 or 1.33.2010 may be better) [Note 6.x radio will not work with this rom]
Users of customMTD must have an 87 Meg system '87 2' is common. There is no need to flash the cMTD boot patch as the rom installer automatically patches the boot image for cMTD.

- Copy Files to the phone
Copy all the downloaded zip packages to your SD Card, Remember Ra-Recovery users must put them on the root of the sd-card.
- wipe or not to wipe, and other preparations
> Users upgrading from
GINGERBREAD-DS-Alpha-20110509-1, Beta builds, or the Gamma build
There is no need to wipe as long as you wiped when you first installed one of these versions of ezGingerbread. You are however encouraged to uninstall SetCPU or other overclock software, and backup your rom before installing. (if the new built in CPU Speed function is not to your liking feel free to disable and re-install the 3rd party overclock software after upgrading)
> Users New to ezGingerbread (upgrading from a different rom)
You are encouraged to wipe before installing, however feel free to use Titanium or other utility to back up your application and application data to be restored after installation.
- Installing the rom
flash in the following Order:
> GINGERBREAD-DS-Stable-v1.0-20111204.zip
> [If you need it] EZGB_lang1_20111204_S.zip
> gapps-mdpi-gb-20110709_S.zip
> [optional but recommended] gprs_patch_S.zip
> [if you chose it] ezgb_ZeamReplacement2_S.zip
- Reboot
Reboot the phone and wait for the screen to dim before interacting with the phone
(First boot will take additional time; longer if you had many applications installed and are doing a no-wipe upgrade)
[size=+2]Tips and Tricks[/size]
Now that the system is installed I have some pointers to making the system as fast as possible, you may ignore these if you really must have something they don't allow but if the phone runs slower you know why:
Tip 1: Google Maps: If you can live without it the phone will be much more stable.. (Maybe using mapquest as an alternative) However if you really do need Google Maps note the newer versions require much more resources than the older ones.
If you must have google maps try an older version rather than maps 5+
Google Maps 4.7 (mirror) MD5: b8c558351949be97eb8703d1f4a05807 (download/place on SD card and install with File Manager)
Brut Maps based on Maps v4.6
Tip 2: Facebook: Well I can't say facebook was ever fast on our slow Dream, but the most resent versions run an "Upload Service" 24/7 in the background eating much unnecessary ram.. v1.6.4 is the newest version I know of without this behavior.
Tip 3: Apps2SD, well best to keep apps you want to use frequently of quickly on the system, but to enable Apps2SDext if you have an ext partition here are the directions:
> goto settings->Applications->Development
> Check SD-EXT
> Reboot
> Now you can use the Manager Applications screen to move apps to/from sd-ext .. if you want sd-ext to be the default install location choose it in Settings->Applications->Preferred install Location
> Data2sd will move all your application data to the sd-ext partition.. this will significantly slow down the phone thus best to leave unchecked.
Tip 4: SuperUser
The system by default prevents the update of superuser or anything signed with the same key (such as superuser elite); to temporary lift this restriction goto Settings->Applications->Development and check Update Superuser.
This will allow superuser to be updated, superuser elite to be installed/updated until reboot.
This ensures no application can change Superuser.apk on your behalf when you do not expect it thus can't grant themselves superuser access.
Tip 5: EzGb Extras
Settings->EzGingerbread Extras
This menu has historic "Spare Parts" funcitons, as well as other performance enhancements.
> Configure PowerWidget allows you to configure the powerbar widgets, when you are done configuring either reboot, or rotate the display to re-set the widget and see the update
> Incoming Call TouchUI - enables the slide to answer/end calls when a call comes in, rather than only being able to use send/end hardware buttons
> Busybox NTP Cliemt - If your phone is not keeping time, even with the sync to network time enabled, checking this may help keep the phone in sync with earthly time
> CPU Speeds, This lets you overclock and under volt, I recommend setting Min speed to 128000, leave Max screen off 480000, and max screen on may either stay 528000, or very slightly overclock to 537600. If you want the settings to apply after your next boot tap "Apply On Boot" if you have problems with the settings, before the screen turns off after boot enter this screen and tap "Reset CPU Settings" before rebooting again.
> Compcache RAM Usage, sets the amount of compcache, keep this as low as possible but not so low background services keep restarting.
> Use KSM Module, this may improve ram usage if checked, however may also slightly increase CPU usage and reduce battery life (all three results are very slight and thus hard to notice) no restart is required so test when/if it works best for you
> Window/Transition animatinos, since froyo animation times have been increased.. many find speeding these up make the rom feel more responsive as they are historically used to.
> End button behavior: choose "go to sleep"
> Haptic feedback/Compatibility Mode .. most will leave these alone
Tip 6: Surface Dithering:
Well this is a trade off [Settings->Display->Surface Dithering] if its checked the display may loose some more frames than if unchecked.. but some people rather loose the frames than see the artifacts left by skipping the dither, choose your poison and reboot
Tip 7: sync: disable what you can
Go into settings -> Accounts &sync
Tap your Google Id. Unless otherwise needed, unchecked Sync Picasa Web Albums, and Books
If you have Google plus you may also wish to disable Sync Instant Upload.
Historic versions, and additional addons can be found below in post 2

Mobile Data GPRS Tool:
A tool to update GPRS settings form gprsclass=10 to gprsclass=12 (also enables dtm)
Most users will experience better mobile network rates if they flash and choose yes, however if you run into problems simple re-flash choosing no to revert to the ezGingerbread defaults,
This tool will likely work on most Dream/Sapphire roms, however as always best to make a backup first

Cleaner 2.3.4 gapps package, recommended over 20110508b. Restore from Google corrected in this package, Talk2 has been replaced with the original talk app due to incompatibilities with voice/audio chat. However you may manually install it if you wish to use the newer interface w/o the newer features. While not 100% support of all languages, core apps support more languages in this package. Mirror thanks to SilentTweak.

For additional gapps:
1) Log into your Google account
2) tap gtalk to make sure its running
3) install the gapps you want from market (some common ones):
You Tube
GMail
Voice Search
Google Translate
*Maps and Streetview may also be grabbed from market; however Maps v5.* appears to be very resource intensive and overwhelms our poor devices; therefore I recommend either installing MapQuest; and/or an older version of GoogleMaps example extracted from froyo gapp pacakges. This will provide a much better gingerbread experience both while running maps and while not running maps.
Brut Maps based on Maps v4.6
Google Maps 4.7 (mirror) MD5: b8c558351949be97eb8703d1f4a05807 (download/place on SD card and install with File Manager)

This enabled in Settings->Applications->Development->SD-EXT
Sim Toolkit:

A friendly reminder... One hopes users of this thread know how to wipe their device .. and if they fail how to see they missed something in logcat.. but if not Super Wipe because regardless of subsequent errors all of these do boot to the Launcher.
Other uses are free to post custom builds in the thread for reference and testing.
Note however all of the above builds were cleanly made from the repo without modification. (ie. you are getting the file produced by the build system)
[SIZE=+2]For full credits check github; Many peoples hard work (particularly that of the CyanogemMod's team make this rom possible)[/SIZE]19Stand Alone ezGb kernels
EzGingerbread Kernel Post
Here are stand alone auto-any-kernels for the ezgb2636 kernel builds. There are two versions of these installers:
Gingerbread: the same format as the included ezGingerbread kernel for use on gingerbread and other roms designed to be used with gingerbread kernels, note this kernel requires a gingerbread ready vold and build in zram compcache scripts and modules.sqf support
Froyo: The same kernel but with a backwards compatible USB mass storage implementation, and ramzswap module to work with most existing froyo rom's vold+compcache, last the modules in this version are not contained in a squashfs.
While I provide these for people to experiment with in other roms; please note I cannot promise the kernels will work in all roms:

Froyo: (this build was prior to froyo support on the 2636 tree)
Information about the source code and building
The source code is the tag indicated for each version (follow link for the github view and source download links). All kernels (froyo and gingerbread) are built with the ezGingerbread kernel build script [as described in the op] before being packaged by hand in the update.zips.
For froyo kernels a small change is made to the build script to use the froyo conigs:
-configtmpl='ezgb_%s_defconfig'
+configtmpl='ezgbfroyo_%s_defconfig'
To unpack the sqf files created in the froyo version I loop mounted them over the update.zip template while building the image on the build box.
---------------------------------------------------------------
** Bookmark this post for future updates10July 16th 2011 ezGingerbread Update:
At last power widgets, ported over from CM by AndDiSa, (I did move the settings into my new ezGb extras .. but AndDiSa did the hard work of extracting it)
Upgraders:
It is highly recommended that you wipe dalvik-cache with all the application switches. Otherwise no-wipe updates ought to work.
Note when you update the status bar widgets it will not take effect until the status bar is refreshed (changing rotation such as a dream user opening/closing the keyboard will do this) or of course a restart.
Long press the power widgets for shortcuts to re relevant settings menus
Anyone wanting alternative launchers I recommend installing the zeam add on to save space.. then you may feel free to get the actual launcher from market. If you want the default GB Launcher2, don't install the addon
If you want the newer market just install the apk.
...
I have many small changes I'd like to make, and more options to add.. but I've been a bit busy and want to release now.. before I potentially dive into the next set of changes for potentially weeks.9GINGERBREAD-DS-Alpha-20110308-1
Sorry for the delay but it is at last time for an update
As usual
1) install rom GINGERBREAD-DS-Alpha-20110308-1.zip
2) install gapps if you want them gapps-mdpi-gb-20110205_S.zip (remember see gapps section in 2nd post for market links to additional GAPPS)
3) install facebook if you want it gb_facebook_fix_S.zip (or market via market but this one is a little smaller being mdpi only)
Much more to do but I wanted to get what I had out.
Things may continue a bit slower than they did in January as I need to keep my life a bit more balanced. However I will continue and all the support is appreciated. - Requirements
