Your card is probably still good. When you "erased" what filesystem is put on the card? Because you're using a mac I don't know. If you can, make sure it's FAT32 and make sure "update.zip" is all lowercase.
[G1 Android Development] CHUHwant:
I'm on a mac. Is there a specific way that i should be formatting the card. These are my options: Mac OS Extended (Journaled), Mac OS Extended, Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled), Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive), MS-DOS (FAT)
[G1 Android Development] drewno1:
yeah that was happening to me yesterday

i reformated the card via wondows (FAT32)

i tried a different rom other than "the dude's 1.3" .... i tried ramjet release 5 as that was before auto apps2sd

flashed rom and everything was fine again

i wiped then flashed the dude's 1.3 again - everything seems fine now
[G1 Android Development] CHUHwant:
I Tried the MS-DOS FAT format on my mac. Still had problems. I have a pc I can get on, but I'm not as familiar with windows as I am with macs (so sorry if this sounds stupid, but where do I go to format the disk on windows). Also, am I going to have to root my phone again?
[G1 Android Development] drewno1:
no you dont need to root again

on windows , select "my computer"

find removable disk drive , right click and go to format

make sure its FAT 32
[G1 Android Development] overground:
You won't lose root. Put the card in the pc, open up "My Computer". Find the SD card and right click on it. Select "Format". Under filesystem select "FAT32". Then format.
[G1 Android Development] CHUHwant:
Thank you so much!! That did it :) do i need to reinstall the radio?
[G1 Android Development] overground:
You're welcome, and no, your radio remains intact.
[G1 Android Development] CHUHwant:
one more question. i really want to use apps2sd -if install it again, is this a problem that's likely going to happen over and over?
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Some have reported this problem with the RC2 kernel. Instead of using apps to sd on RC2, you may just want to either:

1. Flash RC2, and wait for new release before setting up apps to sd.

2. Flash RC1 or beta12 available here, and set up apps to sd now. Then when the new release comes out, just flash that over the top of it.
[G1 Android Development] CHUHwant:
ok. so i downloaded the beta12 and v2 audio file mods. gonna flash the beta12 when i get home. Are there major differences between beta12 and RC2?
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Beta12 ran way better for me. I was getting freeze/reboot problems with RC2. Others are running RC2 with no problems at all, however. Just in case the new release does not play well with beta12, I wouldn't fall too much in love with your configuration until that is released. You never know, you may need to wipe when it comes out.
[G1 Android Development] CHUHwant:
I don't seem to have any other notification ringtones available besides "don't panic" even tho i have multiple ringtones on my phone. how do i get it to recognize my other ringtones when setting notification ringtones?
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
If you don't have a file manager, get one. I like "oi" file manager from market. If you don't have a folder on your sd card called "media" make one. Make a file inside media called "notifications". Put your notifications in there. Your phone will find them in there.
[G1 Android Development] CHUHwant:
perfect! thanks :)
[G1 Android Development] Redeye:
It looks like making the change to Cyanogen's ROM was a good decision.

TheDUDE is MIA!

I know and respect the fact that life happens and that he needs to take care of things at home before working on his ROM's ... but man not even a small post to say yes I'm here. RC2 was such a mess that you would have thought he would at least stabilize his ROM before abandoning it.

Anyway I loved his ROM and hope that it gets resurrected but until then ...

R.I.P.
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:

I honestly love dudes rom but this is getting crazy! It's the 3rd time my sdcard has just decided to crash, wiping everything, even the partition....ultimately, having to reformat, and restart all over again, which I can't keep doing.

Any suggestions to fix this? I'm at the point where I have to fix this or unfortunately, I have to go back to the boring old 'normal' software. Thanks guys.
[G1 Android Development] Redeye:
I love TheDUDES ROM as well but when it comes right down to it you want your phone to work and work well. I would recommend Cyanogen's ROM I've been running it for about 2 weeks and it's smokin' fast. Bottom line it works and it work very well! If you throw the HERO 1.4.5 theme on top of it you will even get HTC Music and a very sexy UI.

When TheDUDE has a new ROM I will give it a go but not after I see reports back that it's stable.
[G1 Android Development] tranquilchaos:
Can I just flash it the same way as thedudes rom? Also, can I flash it right on top of thedudes w/o any problems arising? Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
I successfully flashed on top of dude's without issue. YMMV
[G1 Android Development] daonejay:
help

Hey I was using 2.3.3 and i tried to flash the new builds but i keep bootloop do i need a new radio or spl that came out for them or wut is going on?
[G1 Android Development] Jamison904:
Dude thanks for all your hard work. Good luck with the job search. just chillin waitting for this sweet new update. Have you ever tought about trying to get a job with Google? Can't wait to see what you come out with next
[G1 Android Development] 4treyu:
wow The Dude is putting our fidelity to the test by making us wait for so long for a new release xD
[G1 Android Development] CHUHwant:
Ok. i'm back again. ha. well i've been running beta12 with apps2sd for the past few days with no problem whatsoever. but, i woke up this morning and my phone said the sd card is blank or using an unsupported format. are you running beta12 and running apps2sd with no problems? should i try another rom?
[G1 Android Development] KapiToL B:
With or w/o wipe? if u dont mind me asking:confused:
[G1 Android Development] Redeye:
I have seen posts saying that they had no problem flashing over the top of TheDudes rom but I've seen more posts saying they HAD problems. As for myself, I wiped before flashing. One thing I can say about Cyan's ROM's is they are very clean. When he posts an update you don't have to worry about wiping before you update. There is a reason his ROM's are so popular and once your on it .... you will understand!!

Enjoy
[G1 Android Development] Redestwing:
I keep having the same issue at well. No matter what after a day or two I get the "SD card is Blank" and when I take a look at it, the entire card will be partitioned to EXT2. having to keep doing this over and over is making the entire A2SD not worth it.
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
Hm... now that you mention it... is there a way to make the storage partition ext2? I'd love to use a filesystem more robust than fat32.
[G1 Android Development] tranquilchaos:
This is the reason I have now switched to Cyanogen's ROM. Although, I like TheDude's UI, Cyanogen's ROM is running clean, fast, and so far seems stable. After running into soo many reoccurring issues with TheDudes, I've chosen functionality over all else. Reliability is by far the most important factor for myself. Three times, my sdcard decided to wipe completely out of no where. That's enough for me. Maybe I'll come back if Dude can resolve these issues. Cheers!
[G1 Android Development] Redestwing:
LOL, I would love to use that ROM also, but I am sooooo tired of redoing everything after I set my phone all up :( maybe I will give it one more go with Cyanogen's ROM.
[G1 Android Development] CHUHwant:
have you had any luck? i haven't. if you have, can you tell me what you did? cuz right now i'm not running a2sd at all, and that's pretty much the whole reason i rooted my phone to begin with.
[G1 Android Development] CHUHwant:
where can i download Cyanogen's ROM? you have a link? and did you just flash over top of yours? did you have to do anything else?

Dude's New ROM

Here it is..

http://www.4shared.com/file/115349884/92b71f27/Man_That_Dudes_Sick_BETA_Final.html
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
um....what happened...lol wow Thx for the update...I think
[G1 Android Development] CHUHwant:
do you know if that has better support for apps2sd?
[G1 Android Development] jj972:
Is this the real deal??
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
Uh, this looks kinda fishy. Can we get a confirmation here?
[G1 Android Development] bhilgeman:
WOW! What a d*ck. Why not repspect the dude and wait till he was ready to release it?

I have actually used this ROM for a few weeks. It has been available to download for about 2 weeks now, but theDude hadn't posted it. If you knew where to look it was there for the taking. I WILL confirm this is from theDude but I wasn't going to post a link out of respect for theDude.

If you decide to download it here is what I have to say about it....

1) It has an awesome theme, it's a mix between the ophone and Hero

2) It has 2 bugs

a) You have to do this to fix the touch input (credit to Overground)

Fix this by downloading this and extracting HtcMusic.apk and framework.jar from this zip to let's say desktop. Now do this at cimmand prompt:

cd desktop [or wherever you extracted it]
adb remount
adb push HtcMusic.apk /system/app/HtcMusic.apk
adb push framework.jar /system/framework/framework.jar
adb shell reboot

b) it has the same old bluetooth audio issue that has been common with the last few Dude's ROM's. (no offense Dude)

The easiest way to fix the bluetooth issue is to use the Meltus Audio mod V2....

Enjoy I guess.....

dudeoflifeisdead, sorry for calling you a d*ck if the real TheDudeofLife gave this to you to post (doubtful)....
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Well for one, The Dude did not authorize this release. Others have gotten it from the place posted, but have kept it to themselves. Quotes from The Dude:

me: of course...you'll be fine8:15 AM you release sick_final_beta?

The Dude: nah

i'm not working on it till after thursday

unless i get bored

i still need to read emails

and apply your changes

and talk to manup

me: someone named "dudeoflifeisdead" posted your 4shared

8:16 AM 1 post

The Dude: hahahaaaaaa

whatever

me: i know

8:17 AM The Dude: zomg the dude isn't obsessed with android for a month

WHAT WILL WE DO?!?!?!?!?!

me: lmao

8:18 AM was wondering why the thread got more than 10 posts this weekend

8:19 AM good luck on thursday, you'll kill it

The Dude: thanks

go tell em that i have better things to worry about this week

and i'll be back

the stress didn't get to me

xda didn't get to me

not having a paycheck got to me

Congratulations on your job interview. Enjoy the release, people. The fixes that Bhilgeman posted should complete the build. Probably not necessary, but I wiped, repartitioned and added a swap partition, which I haven't automated yet, because Dude said he would build it in. I just run a Gscript after each boot.

EDIT: If you use and enjoy the release, please donate to The Dude here. He will appreciate it, and it may kick him in the ass to finish the build.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Thanks for the confirmation :) I really hope The Dude gets himself a decent job.
[G1 Android Development] jj972:

[G1 Android Development] jj972:

[G1 Android Development] overground:
It's basically a revamped version of 1.2. Again, Dude didn't release this because he wanted to get clearances from Manup456 for the theme, and fix a few bugs first.
[G1 Android Development] 4treyu:
I gave a try to this beta and the first impression is that it's fast and snappy in comparison to 1.3rc1. I found a bug though, maybe it's already known: many common shell utilities like ls, rm, etc. seem to be missing. If I try for example:

sudo adb shell ls

I get: ls: not found

the same for "rm" and others

Also, on a fresh install, the /system partition is already full.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
ls works fine for me in terminal, if that's what you're talking about. He is aware of problems in xbin and planned on fixing those before release. Bug report posts are good, I just wouldn't hold my breath for support on an unauthorized release leak.
[G1 Android Development] 4treyu:
It doesn't work for me in terminal either. Maybe this release requires Haykuro's latest SPL? (I'm on HardSPL) cause my /system partition is full.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
It is rather large. 52957k zipped, so having the new spl would be beneficial, don't know if necessary, however. He didn't mention it to me when he sent it to me, but he already knew I had the new spl.
[G1 Android Development] 4treyu:
Well I upgraded to the new SPL and after reflashing this beta the missing shell utilities problem dissapeared, so that was the problem apparently. Also, I'm amazed that after upgrading the SPL my data and all my apps and settings remained intact. I thought (don't know why) that the data partition was going to be resized (which was) and entirely wiped, I was already prepared to recover everything manually :D

Thanks for your replies overgound.
[G1 Android Development] TheDudeOfLife:
Hi.

So since I've been putting you guys off and in the dark I figured I'd let you know what's going on.

I am studying for four '1 hour' interviews and a 2 hour technical assessment with the manager of the "Client Architecture and Learning Environments" thursday. What is the CALE? It is the department at a very large college (specifically the business school) that is in charge of creating laptop/desktop images and deploying them to computers that every since staff/student in the school receive. I just so happened to build the Microsoft Deployment Server they use. The four people in this newer department were formed from individuals that were on the deployment project while I was the consultant working with a Microsoft Consulting to help setup said server 2 years ago. Not only did we all get along, it was one of the more interesting / fun projects I did as a Microsoft Consultant.

Now they want to hire me to run the server and keep up with the application packaging/image deployment. Pretty clutch right?

So yeah, sorry I've been away. The fixes to make the release pretty sweet and once I get all the proper permissions and have time to bless the release so to speak, I'll be back. But for now I need to study my deployment stuff, find the old project notes I had and make sure I know what the hell I'm talking about. Senior IS Architect sounds like a pretty sweet title to have and then the dude could afford to spend his free time on his phone again...not looking for a job.

PS - I haven't read any of this thread in a while, so thanks to those of you helping the others. It really does make me want to stay and keep this going.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Good luck! :)
[G1 Android Development] bhilgeman:
Right on Dude! Congrats on the opportunity. Let us know how it works out for ya. Study on my friend!
[G1 Android Development] stogchris81:
Thank you for your response. has the dude uploaded a fixed version? because everything is gravy here.
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
I like the leaked version. Running fast and smooth. Theme is cool and included wallpapers are a nice touch.
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
Good stuff. Well, I can wait =p
[G1 Android Development] kusotare:
well, i went ahead and and installed the leak just so i can start on bug reporting if i find anything. so far, everything is working fine with haykuro's spl installed. performance is fast, not getting any force closes, the IME and music fixes worked flawlessly (thanks for posting those guys). I'll be monitoring it over the next few days watching for slowdowns/reboots/fc's/etc.

Dude- congrats on the job possibility. I hope you get it, study hard bro! I'm going to be on the hunt here shortly myself. My employer decided that my mandatory 6 weeks of medical recovery was grounds to fire me. Fortunately, my lawyer has very sharp teeth. But I'm definitely not going back to work for them, gotta find something new and shiny for a paycheck.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Yes, this fix is for the HTC VK. If you only enable the HTC keyboard, and open the physical kb you will get multiple f/c's without this fix.

EDIT: You will also need to get a working AudioPara_TMUS.csv and put that in /system/etc, or else bt audio will not transfer.

If you need it, you will also need VoiceSearch.apk from another build and push it to /system/app

Unzip this, put it on your SD card and use Linda or Astro to install it and now you have exchange sync mail. Icon is called Work Mail

Alrighty, so ive currently got JACHero 2.3 or are very similar version (possibly .4). Its slow and im really tired of the updating being such a pain in the ass. I would like to go back to good ol' cupcake(yummy), and this rom seems to be really good. Is there anything i need to know before i try and flash this rom? I have the newest SPL and Radio. my recovery console is still JF1.43 though.

Thanks for any and all help

edit: my sd card is partitioned as well.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Definitely a wipe will be in order and you may also need to clear your EXT partition. Try it with just a wipe first and see if that works. If you're using the "sick" version posted a couple pages back, apply the fixes given a few posts later, and the additional fixes I posted on this page. This is a good build, and when the "fixed" version is released, it will be one of the best.

Again, don't forget to donate to The Dude via the link in his sig.
[G1 Android Development] tysleeman:
Awesome. im gonna go for it then.

Is there a way to clear my ext partition without the partitioning software i used. Thanks for your help. im looking forward to the "fixed" version.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
I've never tried this so use at your own risk.

Open Terminal and enter the following commands. Press "Enter" after each line. This should wipe the EXT partition.

su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
rm -r /system/sd/
[G1 Android Development] inportb:
I don't think that'd do anything, since /system/sd is a mount. You could remove all of /system/sd/* though... (as for the hidden dot-files, I'm hoping there are none)
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Forgive me for being naive, but since I'm using unionfs, will this not work? I forgot where I got these commands from, I often copy and keep lists of commands in case I ever need them. In any case, if this doesn't work, get Lucid's app and he has a "clear EXT" command you can use.

Cool site, inportb, I've been over the whole thing a couple of times...good hacks.

Love da rom

I must say i been off the forums for a while..... i come back to a leaked dudes ROM and its like xmas in july.... eventually i will add a few of my personal touches... but so far i just added the "droid" fonts and im in heaven... NO BUGS yet? lol

LOVE DA WORK DUDE :D
[G1 Android Development] mrmikemcguire:
So after trying numerous Roms, to me.. this is one of my personal favorites. I have used this as a daily driver and tried others but always find myself comming back.

However i notice a couple issues every once and a while. I dont know if it has to do with switching rom's or maybe even the app_s zip file on my EXT2 portion for the Hero Roms.

I have noticed that my phone will get bogged down like a mofo.. now I have been using an app called TasKiller, and it seems to do good. It tells you the apps running and you can kill them individually or all running apps. Sometimes i will go to the phone and pick it up to use it, noticing its slow as hellll.. i check taskiller, and like 10-15 apps are running that I have not initiated.. Whats up with that?.. They start up, run the battery down, and then ultimately utilize all the phones memory. When i clear it, works great.. but they keep re-initiating.

Does anyone have insight?

also, the version i'm running is 1.3 rc2.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Sick fixes

Man, try the new build posted about 3 pages back. IMO it's waaaaay better than RC2. You will have to do some fixes on this build as Dude has not "officially" released it.

I've attached the files you need to make this build nearly complete.

1. push framework.jar to /system/framework

2. push HtcMusic.apk to /system/app

3. push AudioPara_TMUS.csv to /system/etc

4. push VoiceSearch.apk to /system/app

5. reboot

TERMINAL COMMANDS HERE

As far as running programs go, Advanced Task Manager has a widget that kills all running apps and non system processes. I use it quite often. If unwanted apps keep running for no reason, maybe an unistall/reinstall of those apps may work. Coming from Hero with the app_s stuff, It wouldn't hurt to clear your EXT partition. Get Lucid's app for that or ask inportb :D.

Well, xda's not letting me upload for some reason so get the files here: SICK_FIXES
[G1 Android Development] kusotare:
well now that we've got a working rom with working fixes and some pretty new icons for me, where the hell is the dude? I, for one, am interested in whether or not he got his job!
