[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Your getting shifty battery life because you chose a dual core phone that is unable to shut off one of its cores. Also there is a lot more going on with Android. You have real time information along with syncing services for your push email, contacts, calendar and pictures. Its also hit or miss with the G2X. Some have decent battery life and others have ****ty. Mine is pretty good as it lasts about 15 hours with moderate use. I now use the Sensation for my main phone and it trumps the battery life on the G2X by hours. A couple days ago I removed it from the charger and didnt use it for 3 hours. After 3 hours of idling, my battery was sitting at 99% and that's with nothing turned off. During that period I was still receiving emails and my weather service was syncing. The reason why the standby is so good on the Sensation is because its able to turn off a core and scale lower than any processor to date. Once Ice Cream Sandwich cones out, all of them will be able to do that.

Bottom line: Android has a lot more going on than the iPhone which in mg opinion is just a smart phone for dummys.

One more thing: If you want to see cameras better than the iPhones, head over to the GSII or Sensation forum and take a look at the picture threads.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kdunn1994:
I didn't know the phone couldn't shut off one of its cores, maybe with next weeks supposed update, I might hang on to this, and guys do u think that if I trade for an iphone4 , that I'm getting ripped off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] clninja:
i stopped reading at plants vs zombies

who cares about that game... dont see what the hype is and definately not gonna switch phones for a game
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kdunn1994:
It's not that game in general, what I'm trying to say is the apps as a whole take forever to arrive on android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Its the nature of the beast. Its much easier to create apps for 2 phones and the same software than it is for 50 phones and 20 different software variants. Its getting better by the day and once the next big update comes (ICS), it should make it alot more easier for the devolopers to create apps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
h yeah

if you trade a g2x(if it works good) for an iphone 4 yes you are getting ripped off.

and app wise the tide is changing. several apps have come to android first as of late.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CESAROX:
You will most definitely be getting ripped off. Once the update comes, the value of the G2x will be high again and it will be two times the beast it already is; on the other hand with the speculation of the iPhone 5 coming this fall, getting an iPhone 4 right now seems downright stupid...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
You know, battery life has been kinda awesome for me, which I know is a total anomaly.

The phone has been on for 16 hours, it has about 2 hours of "display on" time, with about 1.5 hours of web surfing, 0.5 hours of gaming, and 10 mins of GPS navigation. I'm still at 35%. Sync is always left on, same with 3G, unless I'm connected to wifi.

All of this was possible after the latest CM7 nightlies and faux's underclocked kernels.

On my old Nexus 1, I would be at around 30% at the end of the day with less than an hour's worth of display on time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
Give the guy some credit lol, he did leave apple for google :) welcome to the android family. Just remember, no matter what you think is wrong with your android powered phone it will still always be better than any iphone :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
Of course you are. You could be trading from a $20 walmart phone and the iPhone would be a ripoff.

You really aren't going to get much sympathy on here talking about liking apple products, their entire design philosophy goes against the spirit of this forum.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
Ok so by shutting off a core battery life ould get better? Sounds like it makes sense. So in theory a single core phone should get much better battery life? My galaxy S had awful battery life. I easily get 5-6 hours more use out of my g2x than the gs.....oh well maybe I should switch back to a single core phone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kdunn1994:
Thanks guys for all your responses, you guys are right, we have awesome devs here and regardless of LG and T-Mobile shagging ass on us, the devs will always be here, and yes the ice cream sandwich update probably will end everything for the competition.
[Atrix 4G General] dankzoo:
I am having an issue with my atrix when booted into no bp mode via boot options the phone will crash and restart regardless of what I do with it. Can anyone share there experience with no bp mode or help me out somehow?
[Atrix 4G General] Javi97100:
What's np mode?
[Atrix 4G General] dankzoo:
Right my spelling is rather off. My question is when booted into no bp mode my atrix will crash or rather restart no matter what im doing. When booted everything works fine then 5 minutes up and boom screen off and restart. I am wondering if this is a serious issue or if there is anything I can do. Can someone confirm no bp mode works fine with there atrix. I have tried a factory reset with no luck.

[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
One question: Why do you suggest to install first *danger* SPL (aka 1.33.2005) if you later on want to install the 1.33.0013d. For the T-Mobile G1 using the 1.33.2003(!) SPL is more safe.

Just my 2 cents.
[G1 Android Development] jeff72k:
Well, originally I was installing Cyanogen back in the day. Cyanogen required DangerSPL back then, as far as I was able to figure out. That is why I had it installed first. Is that other one you mention the Engineering SPL?
[G1 Android Development] MikeG4936:
I'm getting confused here:

Select "USB-MS toggle"

Copy current Ginger Yoshi zip file to SD card (Example: Ginger yoshi 1.2.1.zip)

Select "Flash zip from sdcard" and use current Ginger Yoshi zip file

Once the SD card is partitioned with the EXT4, my computer can no loger recognize it in the card reader. How are you suggesting that I copy over the rom .zip file?
[G1 Android Development] AndDiSa:
@jeff72k: Yes, it is. It has the same fastboot capabilities, but supports 1.x and 2.x radio and has the same partition layout as the original G1 SPL. So it's more compatible to the original G1 configuration.
[G1 Android Development] tvall:
It should read it fine. Reboot and retry? Or skip partitioning the card.
[G1 Android Development] MikeG4936:
NM - I figured it out. Stupid me :-)
[G1 Android Development] Khizzer:
this never gets past the splash screen..

or reboots back to recovery....

plz help..

im using v1.2.1
[G1 Android Development] jeff72k:
@AndDiSa: Thanks, i've updated the guide.
[G1 Android Development] jeff72k:
What do you see in fastboot mode?

To boot phone to Fastboot mode - turn off phone - hold back button down and press power button

Do you have 32B device?

What HBOOT version?

What Radio version?

Did you follow the full instructions above?

Did you give it time to boot completely the first boot?

I've updated the instructions above, see if they help you now.

Also, see the Ginger Yoshi link and search there for more help and post there asking your questions also.
[G1 Android Development] Khizzer:
i have a rooted g1 with 2708 radio and spl...g1 32b device

currently i am using froyo by lazlo..

what i did is i wiped everything using fastboot erase system via adb

then flashed the rom and reboot

after rebooting i let it sit for some 10 mins nothing happens and some times it reboots back to recovery..

ok should i flash any kernel after this or what...

plz help i really want to try this rom..
[G1 Android Development] jeff72k:
I have a T-Mobile G1 32B and I did not have to install any kernel. I only installed what I showed in the first post here.

Can you verify the "Ginger yoshi 1.2.1.zip" file you have has the same MD5 as this: fa44d461f1d79b08f94fa730decbfde9

If it is not the same MD5, you need to download the file again.

You might need to try to do step 5 again from my first post here.
[G1 Android Development] Khizzer:
ok so where can icheck the MD5 sum:o
[G1 Android Development] s0d:
Hi, i just want to say THANK YOU jeff72k for that tutorial ! my g1 is now running much faster than before ;) once more thx!
[G1 Android Development] ssnui:
@Khizzer: I have the same boot loop problem, I'm using SenseLX rom before and here what I did to fix it:

- Download FR-remove v1.5.6 and Superwipe from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098899

- Boot into recovery; enable USB and copies those two files to SD card.

- Choose "Flash from SD card"; run FR remove first, then Superwipe

- POWER OFF, then boot into recovery and follow step 5

This rom runs faster than the SenseLX plus it's 2.3.1 so I can move apps to SD card
[G1 Android Development] xillius200:
You obviously never set the settings up right and used senseLX properly lmfao but got to admit ginger yoshi is good ^^

Compcache RAM Usage: Disabled

Use JIT: Checked

VM heap size: 24m

extra-ram-radio-hboot/spl-constellation

hi at all!

i have one or two questions concerning spl:

til now i have the new radio+hboot-combination to get the extra-ram, so my spl is 1.33.0013d, which is no full engineering-spl.

when i flash the 1.33.2003 to get full engineering-spl will i still have the extra-ram or will i go back to "normal"?

greetz and thx in advance

sUsH
[G1 Android Development] jeff72k:
So, are you trying to go to Ginger Yoshi and you already have these installed?

recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img (MD5: 11ae63afee9813a9b76cb3f7fd5ac2ad)

RADIO-2.22.28.25.img (MD5: 8bfccfb9ee3f992137e5171aa892235b)

hboot-1.33.0013d.img (MD5: c35ff1159828a6186cb98a9cfaa81613)

If you already have the above 3 installed, you can start on step 5 of the Guide.

Also, if you later want to upgrade to a new Ginger Yoshi version, you just do step 5 again with the new Ginger Yoshi file version and skip steps 1 to 4. You also do the extra stuff like performance stuff below 5.
[G1 Android Development] chakar.dee:
I have all of it, but still can't install, my g1 stuck in bootloader :(( :((
[G1 Android Development] jeff72k:
Is recovery working? If so, you can go to this link about the 2708 kernel mod and see the section:

"If you just temporarily need an engineering SPL (and recovery is working):".

Note: You would flash ENG SPL 1.33.2003 instead of Danger SPL 1.33.2005 (though as per that sites instructions, if you have the correct radio, you should be able to use Danger SPL 1.33.2005 also).

I have not had to do this myself, though. Good luck!
[G1 Android Development] jeff72k:
Ginger yoshi 1.5 is available

Ginger yoshi 1.5 is available. I am running it now and so far it seems faster than 1.4

Also, I have updated the guide a little.
[G1 Android Development] fleity:
i love this rom so far, really awesome. especially the density setting oh how i love to have more space on the screen. BUT

i keep getting bootloops or even stuck while booting apparently most of the time after installing the HTC_IME or GApps. did you ever experience anything like this? because this is sadly definitly a reason to chose another rom.

does anyone have any tipps what i could maybe do to fix this?
[G1 Android Development] jeff72k:
Does it do this if you don't install the HTC_IME or GApps?

You can install the other Google applications from the Android Market.

I have never gotten any bootloops nor stuck during booting.
[G1 Android Development] fleity:
20 crash and backup restores later i did the only reasonable thing. i wiped everything again, redownloaded the rom and gapps and installed everything again. so far everything went finde and thinking about it there might be a slight chance that i tried to install the gapps for cm6/froyo. if that even makes a difference.

however what really seems to bother many apps (and especially the htc ime) is the compatibility setting. some apps (ok mostly games) don't run or look terribly chaotic when compatibility mode is deaktivated and surprisingly even the htc ime works better with comp mode on. however then it is small on not usable at all.

i will try this on and off fix http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825875 hopefully that works. or is there another method to make non-full screen apps resize with the density setting? (hah "have you tried turning it off and on again")

apart from these compatibility settings issues everything seems to work.
[G1 Android Development] R3D X:
This rom is extremely fast thanks!!!!
[G1 Android Development] FeintDoxx:
This is a great rom. only thing is that the "notification" button when menu is pressed was replaced so i cant access my notification because i relied on that because my digitizer is messed up and cant pull down the not. bar.

Anyone know an alternative way to access my not. bar?

I'm planning on replacing it, but not for a while.

EDIT: Never mind this ROM just got more amazing. Just saw the Action bindings!

Yes, won't work for now.

Maybe you can use A-GPS injector, I use it, don't know if GPS is really faster to aquire with this app, since for me, the Sensation is really fast to get satellites signal, muuuch faster than my HD2
[HTC Sensation] chisleu:
how about now?
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Not sure what problem you're trying to fix. I just watched the video linked in that post supposedly showing the script working and it's worse than my Sensation works out of the box. It took 29s to lock and the accuracy never got better than 36 ft. I usually get a lock in 10s or less and the accuracy gets down to 9-12 ft.

Can't answer your question about whether it's doable now.

If you mean some text such as "Property of John Doe, if found call 555-555-5555" there's http://sites.google.com/site/paranoidandroidproject/

It works for me running a CM7 nightly on a 9020A, the only change I've noticed is that the lock pattern is bunched up a little, but that may be due to the multiple lines of text I put in there.

Along the same line of thought, I've added that info in my boot animation, which isn't too hard to do if you have an image editing program that has scripting capabilities.

I am a huge CM fan. I have used it on 3 phones now and it acts differently on each. But the CM7 stable (7.0.3) for vision is the best so far with regards to stability and battery life.

This is my best combo (rom/phone) so far. I still prefered the Milestone build quality...but battery life and RAM sucked the life out of it. Especially with CM.
