It's odexed, not de-odexed, so metamorph will not work. If you want to apply a theme, you need to either de-odex the ROM, or you need to compile it from the sources skipping the odexing step.

wow, thanks for that info andi, now I know that odexed is different from de-odexed, but ezginger is aosp not cm based right?, so it means that all aosp based rom are odexed and not de-odexed?

No, not all AOSP based ROMs are odexed, you can decide when you build the ROM. Odexed ROMs use less memory and start a bit faster, that's the reason why Terry decided to odex the ROM. As I told you already, if you take the sources, you can leave out the odexing step ...

@ezterry I've built the latest Froyo kernel but WiFi does not work. All the modules appear to have built fine and I've copied them into the zip and they've flashed into /system/lib/modules OK. Any ideas? I'll try to get a last kmsg and logcat now.

EDIT: logcat

    [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)
    1. 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.

    2. Download Rom related files
      > The ROM: GINGERBREAD-DS-Stable-v1.0-20111204.zip (md5: 2ae9f618b0650c98b9621b37ad7e8596)
      > GAPPS: gapps-mdpi-gb-20110709_S.zip (mirror)(mirror 2 -- dead) (md5: 6f9a6d27cce1f58be1f34f696212d326)
      > GPRS Patch (optional but recommended) gprs_patch_S.zip (md5: fa259735ca394a650710e6b26673c91a)
      > Alt Launcher [Zeam] Completely optional, but for those that want a smaller launcher, or just intend to replace the default (Launcher2) anyway with a market download this may apply to you, Note its an older version, and the newer market version has been slightly unstable:
      ezgb_ZeamReplacement2_S.zip (md5: 6416ec0efa15f92f3d36f6ec6b524a11)

    3. Language Port/Pack File

      If you use (German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese)

      These are contained in the base rom, do not download a language pack.

      If you use (Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Greek, Finnish, Hungarian, Dutch, Slovak, Serbian, Swedish, Tagalog, Turkish, Ukrainian)

      These require lang pack 1:
      EZGB_lang1_20111204_S.zip MD5: 37ee9cbf4f4c80a4b5fd96269332b853

    4. 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.

    5. 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.

    6. 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

    7. 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

    [size=+2]Kernels:[/size]

    Regarding kernels: If you are looking for stand alone kernels (sometimes there is an update between official releases; or for use in other roms):
    See the Stand Alone Kernel Post

    The Stand Alone Kernel Post contains both the ezgb-2636 kernels and links to the tags in github they are built from.

    [size=+2]Developers:[/size]

    Developer's Guide (How to build ezGingerbread and the ezgb2636 kernel) is now on GitHub:
    https://github.com/ezterry/manifest-gingerbread-DS/blob/gingerbread/README.mkdn

    Includes instructions to fetch and build from source both ezGingerbread and its related kernel.

    LANGUAGE PACK1:

    The packages above include support for: de, en, es, fr, it, ja, ko, pl, pt, ru, zh and are recommended for most users

    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

    For additional gapps:

    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

    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)

    Stand 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:



    ezgb-2636-v1.5.2: (git tag ezgb-2636-v1.5.2-20111106)
    Gingerbread: ezgb-2636-v1.5.2_S.zip md5: 244be107ab1a32b8f8b96301eedb5f94

    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.

    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.

    GINGERBREAD-DS-Alpha-20110308-1

    Sorry for the delay but it is at last time for an update :)

    20110308-1: GINGERBREAD-DS-Alpha-20110308-1.zip (md5: bf0f6a922b3afd5c9faa15333b1e32f5)
    Note: Update to android 2.3.3, add in white-listed unrestricted packages (fixes Facebook sync), Add build.trout to make dream not identify as sapphire, make sound recorder visible in launcher (was always included), include file manager (CM's version), allow download of all file types.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    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.
