[G1 Android Development] gitanojr:
where is it??

Can you explain what is "Minfree" for??

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

Flash this in recovery, is the latest Radio or at least the one im using and the one is working for me :)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8732241/update_2.22.28.25_S.zip
[G1 Android Development] gitanojr:
OK got it to boot again but after second reboot stays in "loading..." for a long time, then it got to the main screen, but after changing wallpaper, making a phone call, basically making any change right after I press home the "loading..." thing appears again and again and again, anyone else having the same problem??
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
hmmm im sorry for all the issues guys, i will use the file i hosted and try to install it,

1 other thing i can think of is if you ever used an other rom that required an mtd partition, than you need to flash the fr-remove file

rickyswhite- im not sure why you would have incorrect radio if you followed that guide... but basically just do what 'gitanojr' said... just do a quick super wipe and flash that radio file, should be fine. and that would definatly explain all the issues you are having lol
[G1 Android Development] rickyiswhite:
I never used custom mtd.. and I tried and it didn't work :p my spl says 1.33.0013d and my radio still says 2.22.23.02 even after I flashed it
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
really? ok well flash it via fastboot, go to ezterry's 2708+ guide and follow instructions for 'need engineering spl' you basically just flash his safe zip file of ENG SPL, than you can wipe and flash the radio, hboot & recovery .img files (i would do all of them, but be carefull!!!) 0013d hast fastboot erase functions but does not support flashing..

another thing with this rom i forgot to mention is that during the first boot after flashing, DO NOT leave the usb cable connected!!!! it causes issues with initial boot up
[G1 Android Development] rickyiswhite:
hmm I don't have computer access right now, what if I flashed the 2708 radio? Or do you mean fastboot on the phone?
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
uhhhmmmm.. yeah the 2708 should work also... but if your device isn't letting you upgrade the radio through recovery than you are going to have to use fastboot to manually flash the .img files
[G1 Android Development] rickyiswhite:
I have the 13d spl now, when I flash the 2708 radio will it brick my phone? And do you mean the phones fastboot or through adb?
[G1 Android Development] frankdrey:
Hmmm....guys....

Try something someone....

When you install be very patient and once you are doing setup do NOT sign in to an account. Tell me if the ROM works alright then.

The first time, when i signed in to google, I kept getting the "loading" on the homescreen, always. Then the next time I didn't sign in and it loaded only like for 10 seconds and never again.

But after a few hours the ROM got unbearably slow, so I'm back on froyobylaszlo.

And btw, what's so special about this ROM? Whoo, sense...awesome...........?

I can't find any tweaks whatsoever. Swap? Ext?
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Its a sense rom, some people love sense. Back when I was working on it, it was quite fast.

Unfortunately, this rom forces the use of a swap partition if it exists. And currently it requires a ext partition (used to be a choice) part of /system is stored on /sd-ext
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
The safest way to flash a radio or spl is through fastboot usb.

If your okay with taking risks (or stupid) you can often get away with using recovery. You are much more likely to brick it that way, but its still a small chance

@ldrifta question, in the first post, why do you say ext3 or ext4 required? On flash storage ext2 can be a good choice. A non-journaling file system has significantly less reads and writes to the card which can only handle a relatively small number before it goes bad (ext3 was made with magnetic hard drives in mind, not cheap nand flash), and in some cases performs better.
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
well i actually wrote that a while back when i was first putting the rom out, and many people couldn't get it working with ext-2 but never had issues with 3 or 4, maybe it was size problem or some other bug... but i know ext4 works great for me,

im not sure why it slowed down for anyone... you must keep in mind we are using G1's lol so the ram gets taken very quickly which is why we have the minfree hack and ATK as insurance for killing background apps and services... your not gonna be able to do what most new phones can do nowadays without slowing the device down regardless of the rom... its just an old phone man im sorry lol

but like tvall was sayin before the whole sd-ext thing used to be by choice... and i may consider putting the option back in the rom... i mainly did it for g1 users because we have super low space available so i included as many things as possible to just install directly to sd-ext... honestly i thought there were better roms out there for the magic & sapphire but i guess not if people still come here lol

@frankdrey- these tweaks you speak of consist of minor edits and additions to build.prop, minfree values, cpu script (init.d) and new kernels (all 3) other than that its mostly updated all apk's and slimmed unneeded files... and as most of you know xillius is more experienced with kernels so im saving that for him, and whatever else he can do to make this rom better!!! so untill he has time to finish i did what i could... :D

@rickyiswhite- yes i would suggest fastboot (fastboot cmd's via terminal while device is connected w/ usb and on fastboot screen 'Back + power' button) you need ENG SPL to flash .img files via fastboot, you DO NOT have ENG SPL atm so refer to ezterry 2708+ guide for instructions for quickly switching spl's
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
I have a question for everyone?

What was your favorite version of this rom? if you can remember the V# i have them all saved so i will take the best running version and compare it to the L Edition, then we will go from there!!!
[G1 Android Development] frankdrey:
See, pretty much my biggest problem is that you can't control ext....I want to force all apps to install to ext

Anyways, I don't care much about sense....you guys have fun with it:D...

I'm not one for too much eye candy....I prefer a more....froyoish beauty? Lol

Well, good job though that you can get something this intense running on a G1...skills:)
[G1 Android Development] rickyiswhite:
Ok thanks for the help... and the most recent version before this was pretty decent
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
yeah i know what you mean... i do kinda like the froyo look myself, more smooth and stockish looking (less memory drain) lol but this rom was given to me by xillius, he did all the early work on this porting it on to the device so he deserves the credit if anyone!!

will most likely re-integrate the option of ext install for people who rather not use an ext partition
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
do you need help using fastboot? i would really like you to see this rom at its full potential!!! if needed i will post a video on a proper install for the rom with all the pre-installation steps included
[G1 Android Development] rickyiswhite:
i know how to use it but it will only work on my dads laptop, for some reason it wont work on my pc... he keeps his laptop at work now so no chance lol
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
lol what type of OS do you have for your pc? maybe we can get it working for you... if not than 1 method i always used to use (back when i had an active data plan lol) was un-rooting and re-rooting the device!! i added some notes to my rooting guide if you would like to give it a try... i can help you out with whatever questions you may have!!
[G1 Android Development] danthepan124:
4.0 or 4.1
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
i liked the 2.x versions. especially the ones i helped with.

after 3.0 everything went... well..... it could have been better
[G1 Android Development] rickyiswhite:
I have windows 7, but there's no hope lol the driver won't install if I remember correctly... I think there's something wrong with my computer
[G1 Android Development] danthepan124:
I got windows 7 too, I have fastboot and adb
[G1 Android Development] Rushness:
Maybe one with normal 2.1 Sense battery and one with changed one, because in my opinion it looks better than the normal... I'm getting bored of this normal one..
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
what do you mean by 2 skins? like the original and the new one? i like the pic lol one side should be without the 2.1 theme installed.. so far the version you posted seems pretty stable.. i like it but sorry to say i kinda do like the old battery icon a lil better lol dont matter though we can use either one.. me and namit just need to trim some apps and should be ready for a release..
[G1 Android Development] mbadawi23:
I just did as you suggested. But still no luck. Here is information from HBOOT screen:

Sometimes (like right now) it is stuck on the "htc" white screen. Not even getting to language setup. When I leave it for a while it goes to lock screen, but when I unlock, it is showing that whit htc screen.

I'm very anxious to get this working. I'm giving this to the wife and I want it to look pretty :)
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
yes namit is going to put option on flash if you want the new battery or old one.. plus were going to strip some apps update should be up tonite hopefully!! thanks for your help!
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
ok last suggestion but this should fix your problem.. go here.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098899

do the un-root method, it should work just fine i've done it so many times!! it brings you back to firmware 1.0, than begin the root method starting at step 1. BUT dont flash the DREAIMG.nbh, you only need to flash the update.zip to get device to 1.5 firmware. than download 'oi file manager' from market and select flashrec file and follow the steps to flash recovery... than continue on to step 2. and 3. than flash this rom using all 3 files! 1.FR_Recovery, 2.SenseLX v2.5 boot device complete first setup, then power down boot into recovery and flash 3.minfree.zip. than reboot and should be good! :D
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
New Updates and screen shots!!!
[G1 Android Development] Namit1994:
Did you flash minfree? Set swap to 128.
[G1 Android Development] Namit1994:
Sorry to disappoint guys but can't make an update yet. Tomorrow most likely; I have tests for school tomorrow so after income home, I'll make changes.
[G1 Android Development] mbadawi23:
I'm sorry to keep bugging you this, but I can't unroot, I'm getting:

E:No signature (413 files)

E:Verification failed

I have the sdcard formatted with FAT32 and named SDCARD. Any thoughts?
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
which file says that? im pretty sure that means the file is not signed...
[G1 Android Development] mbadawi23:
Sorry, :o Was using wrong update.zip file. For anyone else doing this make sure the size 205.4 KB

[G1 Android Development] jr10000:
Yes you can follow OP instructions!

Edit: Yea idrift, it was weird with the alarm clock it wouldnt go off if it was set before 6am, boss had me working early, i guess my phone didnt want to be up lmao.. I had to switch to my XM Slide custom xD, its fast and stable..
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
hmm thats wierd man im sorry it wasnt working lol it does work though... i reflashed the rom like 100 times today running tests lol and the alarm clock is working now.. lol
[G1 Android Development] mbadawi23:
Ok, I know you said last suggestion, but I still cant get it to work (not even to the language selection). Any more thoughts?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
how far did you get with un-root? what radio and hboot do you have? power on holding (camera+power) and tell me what it says..
[G1 Android Development] mbadawi23:
I actually did the whole unroot process. Here are the readings from hboot:

I should let you know that after waiting a while (20 mins) I got to the Language setup screen then after hitting next I get the white htc screen then back to language setup again, and so on and so forth.
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
hmmm.. wow that is crazy i have no idea what could be causing that to happen.. its working fine for me...
[G1 Android Development] mat0122:
i'll be glad if you could add Polish language
[G1 Android Development] Rushness:
I'm trying to fix the issue with the lockscreen wallpapers now... ^___^

And something else... hihihi :>
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
well... i see three options here.

option 1: wipe and reload windows and hope it works

option 2: use linux

option 3: install a vnc server and let one of us try to install it

option 1 is time consuming, option 2 has a learning cure that some find very difficult, option 3 requires a little too much trust
[G1 Android Development] flyers00:
I am not sure if this will help but it worked on my laptop running Windows 7. http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/10830/usb-driver-for-htc-dream-g1-64-bit-windows-7 Good Luck
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
lol yeah i kinda was hoping someone would say 2.x i think 2.7 was the better of the 2's... but i will investigate.. what is it besides the ext option that you dont like?
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
hmmmm well im not exactly sure but some known issues would be if you are running 64 bit i believe you still need the 32 bit java for adb/fastboot but i forget... i have them both 64 and 32 java i am running 64 bit windows 7 ultimate

another thing is forcing the drivers to install by going to device manager on windows, and be sure to enable usb debugging

and im sure you know you need to boot into fastboot to install the drivers for fastboot and be on a running rom with usb debugging enabled for adb drivers to install :D
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
I don't remember :P haven't used this rom in a long time.

I remember the new kernel in 3.x series was not implemented right.
[G1 Android Development] rickyiswhite:
Yup :p tried everything, i guess theyres something wrong with the usb ports
[G1 Android Development] jumpman707:
someone should make an installation video so there's no confusion on how to install.:cool:
[G1 Android Development] frankdrey:
Well there is a bit of luck involved lol
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
lol i think i might have to... i mean its realllyyyyyy simple, its just minor lil things yu need to be aware of... this rom installs perfect for me everytime lol i even switched to froyoy to do some testing then switched back and it boots up just fine... i dont understand why people cant boot this rom lol im sorry everyone!!!
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
k this is the last thing ill have you try lol, even though you said you didn't use any custom mtd partitions or anything, i would like you to flash the fr-remove anyway... it will not hurt your device it just places everything where it should be...

first wipe the device manually (every wipe option available on your recovery!!), then re-partition sd card lol i know you did this already but just to be 100% sure im asking if you would do it again :D

after that, flash the fr-remove.zip, then flash superwipe right after... power off and reboot to recovery, now try to flash the 2.22.28.25 radio.zip file... once finished reboot to bootloader and check for results... if still no luck than im very sorry you only other options are fastboot or to re-root the device..

most of the files i listed can be found on my rooting guide except thr fr-remove.zip, just google it lol you'll find it

i wish you could have had some better luck with the rom... :D thank you for your patience
[G1 Android Development] rickyiswhite:
As soon as I have access to a computer I will try :p
[G1 Android Development] andreimoto:
im new with this ROM but i must say this is exelence. i use V4.2 and everything so smooth n camcorder work, but the bluetooth...how im gonna use my bluetooth stereo headphones? :(

but over all im satisfied :)
[G1 Android Development] danthepan124:
Simple, you can't
[G1 Android Development] Khizzer:
does the camcorder work???really??

havent been using this for a long time...
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
No it does not work lol im not sure why he said that... maybe the new kernel helped.. lol hold on now im curious, im gonna check
[G1 Android Development] rickyiswhite:
Ill have computer acess tommorow... but for now, can I flash the radio file in fastboot by pressing the power button and camera?
[G1 Android Development] fyca:
Problems on first boot...

First let me say I have not had any problems like this flashing other roms. I've been using COS-DS 7/18/2011 no problems other than it being slow. I flashed this rom yesterday and when it boots either I get a bunch of FC's or my phone freezes. One time I got to complete the beginning setup but then I got more FC's and the phone was un-usable. Thinking I may have used an MTD I unrooted back to RC29 via DREAIMG.nbh, then I updated to 1.5 with update.zip, then I re-rooted, re-installed Amon RA's recovery, repartitioned sdcard 8GB 128mb swap, 512mb ext, upgraded ext2 to ext3, ext3 to ext4, then I wiped data/cache, then I flashed rom, waited for it to boot up, screen went black - waited 5 mins, pressed back key, it asks me to choose my language, when I press next the setup wizard restarts back to the "htc" splash, and eventually back to pick my language.

This is very odd, any help would be appreciated.

P.s. for anyone who is having USB connection issues, I just fixed my issues after 1.5years of not having usb connectivity. I bent the top of the metal on the USB mini cable side so that it pushes the cable contacts closer to the phones receptacle contacts. Sorry for the bad illustration.

[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
hmmm... and this is with a G1? you sure you have 2708 or 2825? 0013d? try to flash the fr-remove file first, and if still the same problem then we will get more into it
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
power and camera is bootloader, which is how you flash .nbh files... but in order to flash .img files ex..( radio.img, spl.img, recovery.img, boot.img..) which is done through terminal on a pc with usb connected to device
[G1 Android Development] fyca:
Yes this is a G1 I am sure I have 2708 and 0013d, fr-remove-v1.5.6-CustomMTD_s.zip did not change anything. FroyobyLaszlo installed fine and runs without any errors. I'll be using Fbl until I can get this running. I appreciate the help, cant wait to test this rom.
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
ok cool well thank you for your patience, i am leaving real quick but when im back tonight ill be more than willing to help you out if your still around
[G1 Android Development] Khizzer:
did anyone try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=527027 for making bluetooth work???
[G1 Android Development] fyca:
I've tried all day yesterday and today to get this rom to run, but to no avail. Still freezing or FC's. So if you got any ideas Ldrifta let me know. I've un-rooted and re-rooted twice, I've erase my phone with fastboot erase system -w maybe 30 times, ohsaka super wiped like 15 times, I've re-downloaded re-flashed my radio and SPL twice just to make sure the files were ok, and I've flashed this rom nearly 20 times. I dont know what it could be, first major problem I've had flashing a rom. Well still cant wait to test this rom.:)
[G1 Android Development] Khizzer:
format or repartition your sdcard and reflash the recovery...may be this should help..btw which recovery are you using...
[G1 Android Development] fyca:
I was using CWM then switched to Amon Ra's because CWM doesnt have SD partitioning options, I forgot to mention I've also re-partitioned my sd card and upgrade ext2 to ext3 and ext3 to ext4 everytime before installing the rom.
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
lolol ok so you are truley my inspiration to make an install video haha this whole messege just made me laugh... lol first thing im gonna do is provide a link for an older version and i want to see if that works... if not that you have some serious issues lol but if it does work, than i promise i will re-do L Edition to make it boot specially for you :D
[G1 Android Development] Rushness:
Testing the new version, ldrifta ;*
[G1 Android Development] fyca:
Lol kk, appreciate the help.
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
k i just posted 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3... hopefully that works... i got work from 2-10 so i wont be able to help you more untill i get home :D
[G1 Android Development] fyca:
Ok I installed 4.3, everything installed fine, the system itself seems stable no FC's yet, but I cannot install apps, it says "insufficient storage". I looked at my phone storage and its at 80 something MB's free. Also it says SU is outdated, when I try to update I get a message pretty much saying I need S-off.
[G1 Android Development] jumpman707:
4.3 works amazing tried the other version same problem :(
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
which is exactly why i updated the rom lol but damm a lot of people are having issues so im just gonna take a look at it most likely release a l2 edition lol
[G1 Android Development] Rushness:
L edition also doesn't worked for me... G1 logo and then boot back into recovery.. :/

But this could also be my G1...^^
[G1 Android Development] frankdrey:
To do a temporary s-off type the following into a terminal:

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
Wow, looks like you need some help.

Want me to take 4.3 and tweak and update it to replace l?
[G1 Android Development] fyca:
Ok, well just to let you know, I couldn't get apps to install - keeps saying "insufficient storage" and beyond that I unplugged my phone from the charger this morning at like 10am and now its about 12pm and I have less than 37% left on my battery. Other than that I am very impressed with the speed and stability of this "Sense" rom. Thanks for the help and work.
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
lolol boy o boy... i got the damn thing to boot up fine... but maybe my G1 is broken in such a way that it only lets me boot that lol, thats pretty much what i was going to do... i think most of the issues are to do with the new kernels... EVERYTIME i try a new boot.img i get 100's of people saying they have errors lol remember i tried this once before with xillius kernel and it stirred up a **** storm :D but yeah honestly i would love for you to take a whack at it... if at all possible would you care to re-integrate the sd-ext option again? all the apk's on l edition are up to date except Gmail and maps.. so basically the idea is old kernels and old system setup but new apk's and etc.. lol (plus i know you'll take good care of it :D)

on second thought let me try something quick... if no luck than yeah you can do your dark magic haha
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
what is your sd-ext partition? sorry about the sd-ext requirement but this is no longer going to be an issue, will integrate the option to install on sd-ext or not with update!

and battery life? lol seriously?? ok let me just break this down as simple as i can

3 main reasons...

1. age

2. Sense Rom..

3. it's a G1... lol

haha nahhh im sorry that wasn't funny... but honestly is could be one of those reasons... plus if you have anything running in background... sync, brightness blah blah blah.. there not much else i can do... got the build.prop tweaks and everything lol i think the old kernel was a lil better though so im making the switch now...
[G1 Android Development] ldrifta:
ok i released a new one with a lot of fixins.. hopefully this solved all your problems guys this booted up pretty fast for me

PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS some changes have been made!!!!!!! IMPORTANT CHANGES!!!!!
