Modded Rom

I'm testing out some mods of this rom.

I love the general rom, but I have issues with stability of the 1.0.7, and the bootanimation is just NOT correct, and the fonts are just too hard on my old eyes.

Specifically:

Different fonts (Stock CM7 fonts built-in to rom)

Different boootanimation.zip (Stock-ish 'Android' built-in to rom)

Data2Ext script installs instead of INT2EXT (The same script from 1.0.5, for those who have Class 4 and less SDCards)

Except the update script, and adding in the required folders/files, all else is a "stock" 1.0.7

Will be trying out both reg kernel and Chaos.

Will let you all know how it goes.

If successful, I'll post here, with link to d/l the modded rom

**UPDATE**

So far, so good.

It's not demonstrating the 'usual for my hardware' instability.

Usually, if I run 1.0.7 w/Chaos, I may as well be using Windows on my desktop. FC's, lockups for no reason, lag, and a felling like the phone will burst into flames any second.

With the 'modded' ROM and Chaos kernel, it's smooth, fast, roomy, and so far, stable.

I'll give it until Monday to really see how it's going.

Modded ROM

Seems to work REAL good.

Here it is
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
What kernel are you using?
[G1 Android Development] cwwilson721:
The "Chaos Kernel" in the OP

And since I use the huge "extended" battery, don't really care about battery life. It lasts three days....lol
[G1 Android Development] alia5:
sorry, but...

this rom is a joke!

lags and force closes all the way, don't know whats wrong o.O

Edit: just read that int2sd could be a problem...

Trying again...

Edit2:

int2sd was the problem i think, now, without it, the rom seems to be pretty fast and snappy :D and stable

btw: bootscreen is a killer one ;)
[G1 Android Development] cwwilson721:
Maybe I spoke too soon.

Too many reboots needed, too many "way too slow" open/closes.

Just too slow/unstable.

Went back to 1.0.5, and nice and smooth.
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
i kinda take offence to the comment about my rom, if its a joke then maybe you can build a better one for yourself ;)

and if you would like proof that it runs fine maybe i should upload a video of my G1 or Magic because it runs pretty good for GB.

int2ext+ will lag if sd-cards are to slow sorry i can't help that, but under extras there a link to a scripts thread it has a2sd scripts for slower cards

btw: ask for help next time before posting dum comments
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
hey i have bin busy i can try to help you send a pm of the options choosen on install
[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
yeah some people have no comprehension of what a good rom on an old phone should be like. cronmod is defienetly one of the better gingerbread roms for the dream.
[G1 Android Development] alia5:
yeah i'm sorry .__.

i played with it some hours and couldn't get it to run well, and i was mad like "why does this thing not work the way i want"

but now i tried without int2ext and it really works like a charm

i really have to apologize and have to say that you've built a pretty nice rom!

but maybe you could post a litte more information right in the first post, so no one complains too fast anymore? ;)

so sorry again, and thank you! :good:
[G1 Android Development] cwwilson721:
Same options I've always used.

Since 1.0.6, been way to flaky (for me).

I've even tried replacing the script for ext, etc., plus using the non-Chaos kernel

While that improved it somewhat, 1.0.7 with exact same options as 1.0.5 is just too slow/unstable for my daily driver.

I do not know what you 'improved' from 1.0.5 to 1.0.6, but whatever it was (and not just the INT2EXT script, either), has made this rom non-usable (for me).

Luckily, I've kept an old copy of 1.0.5, and I use this as my daily-driver. It's fast, stable, roomy, and works.

1.0.6+ has too many:

FC's, on many apps, from Messaging to Browser to some I've installed myself. No ryhme or reason to it, either.

"Lockups" where I have to pull the battery to reboot the phone

SLOWER than slow (even with the "original" ext script/prog from 1.0.5) where it just takes overly long to open a program, select options, press hardware menu button, close app, and many different things.

Might be able to, but odds are I won't be able to answer the phone. 8 rings for the Phone app to appear is a bit too long (and that's on average). By the time the phone actually answers, the caller has left a message on voicemail. Then another (and I'm NOY kidding on this, I HAVE timed it on more than one occasion), calling my Voicemail takes over 3 min.

Overall, 1.0.6+ just DOESN'T work right (for me). The DRASTIC change in usability from 1.0.5 to 1.0.6 is just too vast.
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
I am not using any of the scrips and I am running just fine on this build. I am only having one problem and that is when rebooting my phone I keep loosing the XDA Developers app. All other apps are just fine and it doesn't happen on every reboot.
[G1 Android Development] mawi13:
i made such a noob mistake - didn´t flashed the kernel after flashing the rom... thanks a lot

but still have an other issue. When i try to connect with my BT Radio it works 2 or 3 times but then it´s still connecting but the radio got stuck in BT menu.

When i restart the phone it works again for 2-3 times.

HBOOT 1.33.0013d

Radio 2.22.27.08

anykernel 2.6.36.4

RA-dream-v1.7.0
[G1 Android Development] brainwasher01:
How's the battery life???
[G1 Android Development] Joker45:
At first; excuse my bad english

I used ClockworkMod recovery to install. I use ohsaka superwipe and after a reboot i installed the new rom. After waiting 20 Minutes first Boot, i still see only my G1 Screen.

Any suggestion whats my mistake!?!

Edit.. After installing the rom again and reboot befor installing the anykernel it works
[G1 Android Development] cwwilson721:
For a Gingerbread ROM, this thing ROCKS!

I like the speed (almost same as FBL), and stability, and the customization options are great.

I used the ClockworkMod recovery, and also use Rom Manager. Enabling all the *2sd options and rebooting, and I have 89MB always free, and no real drop in speed.

I notice no real change in battery life either (but what kernel you use will help determine that)

As an aside, is there any guides out there for the various Options for CM7? Some are a bit "cryptic"
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
if you are using ebi1 radio "i.e. 3.22 series" then the kernel included sould work fine if you are using ebi0/2708+ "i.e. 2.22 series" you have to flash the anykernel or it wont boot also make sure you are getting a full wipe or it wont boot pm me if you still need help and i will try to help you.

good luck and cheers
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
send me a pm with what you want explained and i will tell you what it is and does

cheers
[G1 Android Development] da-pharoah:
+1 to this how is the battery life with the stock kernel?
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
it is good i am using it with 1.33.0013d and 2.22.25.28 and i get a day and a half to two days out of it with a new battery thats about a month old, it is not an extended battery

cheers
[G1 Android Development] da-pharoah:
right on thank you. Im maxed out of thanks otherwise ive give you one... but ima download this now... thanks again!
[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
You can max out on thanks? I guess I'm not too thankfull...
[G1 Android Development] da-pharoah:
lol yea max out at 8
[G1 Android Development] 313dash:
I have say this ROM is pretty fast! Whatever you did keep doing it. Could be one of the Gingerbread Roms out for the G1. Oh the THC boot screen too funny.
[G1 Android Development] da-pharoah:
thc boot ani you say... very interesting...
[G1 Android Development] cwwilson721:
So far, this rom and froyo by laszlo are the 2 that I think are real keepers. In the time I've had this on my phone, I haven't noticed any real different performance. It's real nice having a good gingerbread rom.
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
thank you that is the goal :D

cheers

edit: to all please give it a rating when you click thanks :)
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
thank you im working on a few tweaks to get it even faster yet stay tuned lol
[G1 Android Development] cwwilson721:
Even faster? What do you trying for, donut?
[G1 Android Development] Neo2SHYAlien:
Dude u rock me totally. I think it is the best rom for my dream. Defenders 2 run almost without lag on my phone. Yeap with swap but the game run really good. great thanks from me.
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
lol well speed is good :)..

i am testing a few tweaks to speed it up a bit more nothing major tho
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
thanks glad you like it

cheers
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
Can we have a second download mirror? Fore some reason I can't get it to download from two separate locations. I hope it's not being blocked in the United States.
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
ill check it out.... the 2.6.35.14 chaos kernel is better the the 2.6.36.4 kernel and may fix BT
[G1 Android Development] mawi13:
Damn, i flashed yesterday the kernel 2.6.35.14 and tried it today, but i still have the same problem. The radio get stuck in the BT menu and stops Doping anything. It was working till i got a call and reconnect after a while.
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
i need to get a headset then i will test it out and try to fix it
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
I am having problems where my phone will do a reboot after charging the battery. I am using the new kernel. Doesn't do it every time but does it about 3-5 minutes after charging the battery unless I reboot the phone.
[G1 Android Development] dayofthedaleks:
I'm not seeing Bluetooth problems. I've used a couple of different Plantronics headsets to successfully make calls, and even simultaneously connected a tablet via Bluetooth tethering. Maybe mawi13 is having hardware problems?

I can confirm this build gets the USB power drain bug. My testing has shown that after USB connecting, the Android System process becomes the biggest power consumer and will drain an extended battery overnight. If I reboot after using a USB connection, power consumption goes way down and Display, Cell Standby, and Phone Idle become the big power hogs, which I'm pretty sure is normal. I'd love to see this get fixed in the Chaos kernel, but I can deal with rebooting in as a fix.

Can anybody confirm they're getting the same screen brightness behavior I mentioned in Post #367? I'm seeing the screen go grey at the highest brightness setting, and that means it can't be used as a flashlight.

I'm still finding 1.0.7 with the Chaos kernel to be very stable and up to being a daily driver. I think having a swap partition makes a big difference since the device has so little RAM to begin with. Haven't had an unexpected reboot for weeks.
[G1 Android Development] mawi13:
Hy dayofthedaleks, i don´t think that i have hardware problems, due that i can connect to my nexus for tethering and this over hours and i don´t have any problems connecting again when i got out of range to the nexus. hmmm what else could it be. maybee it´s my radio who have Problems it´s a Clarion VZ-401 - I´ll check out the net if there is a issue. Thanks a lot!

[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
Any updates coming?
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
they will be coming soon be patient i am very busy at the moment with work and my jellybean rom
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
I wish I could afford a unlocked phone. Stuck with this old one.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Unrelated question, but are you considering the Nexus 4?
[G1 Android Development] cybernetus:
Installing this Rom on mg old phone for tests :)

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

I get a boot loop on the first install of the ROM.

I belive I had problems with the ext partition on my sdcard. On the second install my rom boots without problems ( I follow up all the boot proccess on the logcat ).

On the first try I believe this is the best ROM I use on my phone. The last ROM is the Cyanogen 5 with the move for the extcard and I don't remember what the kernel i use ( i delete the files from my computer on the last months ).

Well, this is good. This isn't my phone for day use but my phone for app tests and other things and I like this ROM.

Thanks for your good work.
[G1 Android Development] Maave:
Not bad at all. Lots of settings.

10% compcache, Dithering disabled, 16 bit transparency, Lagfree CPU governor (245/556MHz), disable boot animation, no window animation or transition animations (I hate transitions), plus Zeam launcher. That got it pretty snappy.

I'm not sure how the Lagfree will affect battery life. I'll turn up the max frequency if it does well.

The default font is hard to read, I switched to the CM7 font.
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
How's battery life? In my experience GingerBread ROMs don't exactly excel in this area...
[G1 Android Development] Maave:
Screen-off idling seems to be fine, 7% in 3 hours but I don't remember if I had wifi on. I'm going to let it sit with screen off & wifi on for a few hours to see how long it lasts. I'll test active-use time after that.

EDIT:

Here's about 7 hours of idle time using 50% battery. I had it plugged in for about 10 minutes in the middle because I was having trouble with the SD card.

I have the 2.22.28.25 radio and 1.33.0013d SPL. I'm not sure how the 2708 differs battery life.
[G1 Android Development] Maave:
Some more neat battery info. I usually use my G1 as a mini computer, not a phone, so I don't have a plan. I usually have airplane mode on and then wifi on over that. I've haven't been using it all that much lately so airplane mode was on and wifi was off for 3 days and the battery went from 100% to 94%. Pretty nice.

I suppose I should do use-testing instead of idle-testing.
[G1 Android Development] ROCKO1234:
Great job, any update?
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
im working on it.... i know its bin a while sorry guys
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
OK an update for the D/S GB,

chaos kernel is discontinued far to many little bugs and no time to fix them all.

32A-NR, the Bandit kernel is returning revamped and based on official HTC Sapphire source with some patchs from the flykernel and original bandit 1.0 kernel, it is 176-729mhz stable and bluetooth is fixed plus all governors have bin fixed and work properly now and i should have gingerbread gadget drivers backported in the release so the adb icon will be fixed to so there will be no more need for usb function support/hack in the rom. All speed/stability issues are fixed and a completely new device overlay has bin made by me based on the hero device overlay, white/black screen wakeup issues that NR has always had are also completely fixed (nothing in this rom is from carz now, its all original) :) and last but not least all proprietary files have bin changed to ones extracted directly from rogers official 2.1 rom.

32B/32A-OR, a new kernel based on official htc sources is in dev, it will fix battery drain and other small issues (name is undecided yet any ideas post em, more info to come), i have also cleaned up and revamped the device overlay, i will be doing alot more yet as i am currently working on this i will keep this post updated as i go.

Happy new year
[G1 Android Development] adityo97:
so, the rom itself still using the 1.0.7? the kernel link please
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
I would also like to see a update of the ROM/Kernel.
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
There coming I will add links for test copys of the new kernels, roms are coming to but it will be after test kernels

Also so everyone knows , the new 32b kernel is based on official HTC mytouch 3g 2.6.32 sources
[G1 Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
Wow, thanks for persevering with the G1 :good: why have you used 2.3.32 kernel though? I would've thought at least 2.3.36 would be a better idea? Anyway, your choice, you're the dev!
[G1 Android Development] v0 HaVoK 0v:
Been a while, since I got a HTC One X, but going to use this and update my G1, for old time sake :)
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
Excited to be seeing the new Kernal for 32b.
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
How do I setup a CMTD? and the mtdpartmap.txt file? I have looked through the original blog post but still unsure how to setup and or remove CMTD. I would like to give it a try on this ROM as well as on BananaSandwich and BananaBread. I am just concerned about possibly bricking my device, I can't afford to do that as this is my only phone.

Which mtdpartmap.txt file?

echo "mtd 55 2" > /sdcard/mtdpartmap.txt

echo "mtd 90 2" > /sdcard/mtdpartmap.txt

echo "mtd 67 3" > /sdcard/mtdpartmap.txt

or

echo "mtd 120 3" > /sdcard/mtdpartmap.txt

How do I remove cmtd when no longer wanting to use it (Default mtd)?
[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
Re: [Rom/Kernel][CM7/AOSP][2.3.7]CronMod-Dream (updated 09/19)

Change the .txt to whatever works, first number for system size second for cache, by defult the rest is data. Not sure what is best for this rom, maybe 67 3, depends how b ig rom is. Firerat says 2 is perfect for cache but I found three caused less issues. Probably want to bind mount cache if downloading from market er play store

To remove change to defult or just flash the remove script
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
So where can i get the new dev kernals and ROMs for this ROM?
[G1 Android Development] chris122380:
Re: [Rom/Kernel][CM7/AOSP][2.3.7]CronMod-Dream (updated 09/19)

I haven't seen a new update yet.

How can I install gtalk on this rom? I tried the apk but the installation fails and I have tried placing it in the apps folder with no luck.
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
Gtalk needs to be in /system/app with perm 644..

Updated kernel posted, rom coming soon..

Check the sapphire thread from time to time I post stuff there about both roms.
[G1 Android Development] hrk:
Horray for the power saver kernel! My Dream is now out of the drawer again :)
[G1 Android Development] nico1228:
play store crushes!!!

hey bro, wazzup, I tried your rom before but I change to others because of one thing that I encountered with your rom, the play store force closes sometimes if not, I can't install application or its to slow, I don't know what the problem is, just want to suggest to fix that little problem to make your rom more nicer, but thanks for this almost wonderful rom bro, :good:
[G1 Android Development] NO_ob:
Can anyone post download mirrors if they have zips please
[G1 Android Development] cwwilson721:
Since yours is the most stable/fastest GB rom (or, as far as I can tell, even Froyo) for the G1/Dream/etc (so far), trying a long test (1-2 weeks) on your new tweaks before updating the rom would only "enhance" your 'build cred'

I'd be more than willing to help test it out for you, too. Sometimes, different phones (even identical) can give you a differential that wouldn't show up on just one (or a very few)

Just my 2 cents.

Working fine downloading here in 'Bama using the links on Post #1
[G1 Android Development] da-pharoah:
So I wasnt able to get mine to boot. It got stuck at the g1 screen twice... I flashed it twice and and after each time same stuck at g2 screen. I have SPL 1.33.2005 and amon ra. so idk what I did... only thing I did differently this time around was I used adb to format system since that option isnt avail in my recovery. I copied the log but I havent reviewed it. I assume everything flashed fine. but no go.. any suggestions?

edit

I have radio 2.22.23.02, I didnt see anything in the OP, but does this require a certain radio?
[G1 Android Development] Infinimint:
Try flashing an autokernel such as ezterry's ezgb.

Or try using the new 2708 or 2825 radio and 1.33.0013d HBOOT.
[G1 Android Development] da-pharoah:
hmmm ok.. that will have to wait till I get out of work.. Im not going to do all that with my super locked down work pc... thanks tho.
[G1 Android Development] level_666:
OMG i can't believe this rom, its perfect! sooo fast!, you've just replaced FBL!!
[G1 Android Development] da-pharoah:
dammit! your making me jealous! I so want to use this rom! my G1 has been running 'The Official' 2.2.1 for the longest time! although I do have to admit the g1 has been promo'd to my offline pw keeper. I have removed so many functionality apps that my battery lasts like dam near a week on standby... but I do want to try this rom.. maybe i'll have to do some updates..

edit:

btw croniccorey, the options that you have when installing, is that your doing or aroma inspired? I like it.
[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
If you really want this rom and want to stick with your current radio and spl just flash ezterrys biffmod test kernel over the rom, you'll find it in the 2708+ update thread in the development section
[G1 Android Development] da-pharoah:
hmm I just may do that... thanks!

edit:

yea no go.. stuck on g1 screen again. its all good tho.. ill just wait till im home and do some updating... I also want cwm on here too so ill probably do that as well...
[G1 Android Development] deiisel:
Is there a way to change the font to the Roboto font from ICS? I find the current font hard to read
[G1 Android Development] da-pharoah:
There is indeed...

follow this link...
[G1 Android Development] 313dash:
Try using Rom toolbox that should do the trick.
[G1 Android Development] demkantor:
i like the font

so far very smooth, been playing with it for a day or so (just playing using my g2 for phone stuff) and no real bugs - im going to vegas for a bit so i need to bring my g2 so i can be sure im stable while out there. when i get back ill be using it a bit as a daily driver to give true results and opinions. so far it seems to be on par with ezgingrebread as far as speed and reliability and that says a lot for gingerbread on the dream has always been a little fussy. only issues ive noticed so far were on the first two boots and nothing sense. i chose launcher pro when flashing and still got adw (or probably stock gingerbread launcher) my first boot i couldnt get wifi working but after reboot all is well. play disappeared after reboot and had to search for it in file explorer, when i backed out it came up in app drawer but disappeared from home screen. the first two times i was in play my paid apps didnt show as purchased (they do now) contacts wouldnt sync untill i went into contacts and backed out, same with calendar.

of course nothing here is a big deal and still amazing for your first rom on the g1, so super job! ill give a better review and or opinions after a week or so of playing around. so far one of the better rom choices out there!
[G1 Android Development] croniccorey:
the any kernel on the OP will work perfect i have tested it with 2708, ebi0,and ebi1

if you are using CMTD and install the

data2ext it will not boot also if you partition your sdcard with the wrong cluster size it wont boot i recommend to partition through recovery

to all who want bigger fonts i will add a link for the stock CM7 fonts in the OP shortly
[G1 Android Development] cwwilson721:
I agree.

Actually, after giving this ROM a "hard time" over the past 2-3 days or so, adding apps, running quite a few "su" apps, and gernerally beating it upside the head with font replacements, themes, etc, it's still :

Faster

More stable

Better looking

More options

No "mystery reboots"

Yep. This is now my "main" rom.
[G1 Android Development] iEmDan:
Wifi doesn't work for me and auto turns off in a few seconds.

you dident reboot after first boot then, you have to or stuff wont work
