This does not appear to be the original r1:

there is a root enabler, infact only boot.img and wifi.ko differ. only the kernel. in boot.img differs infact.

have people used this? do they still experience the issues common with r2? is the original r1 available?

i'm hoping to mash this with JF151

dalvikvm

I've heard the dalvikvm accounts for some of the reason why people feel this is faster, has anyone taken a serious look at it? I downloaded the update.zip and compared it to JF1.51 using diff and it came back as the same.

I am also looking for a way to install the HTC dialer. Any help would greatly be appreciated...
[G1 Android Development] B-Eazy:
Its not likely that ur gonna get HTC things working on a Google ROM or vice versa because they rely on certain things in the build itself.

If u do somehow figure it out lmk. I think its not worth the trouble just to get a dialer and a virtual keypad but hey.

I could be wrong

[G1 Android Development] wazz999:
Before I begin. Yes, I have looked all over the forums, and Im not too sure on what to search for, I am on the rev2 Ion Rom.

It might sound a bit stupid, but on the lock screen, my phone doesn't show the network operator (Virgin UK) Its just a blank space.

My question is, how/what would need to be edited for me to have the operator show up on the lock screen? Maybe even show a custom title... ;)
[G1 Android Development] mak213:
just wondering yes im not very familiar with all the lingo of android etc (just switched from a windows mobile life time loyalist to android) :) so i was just wondering wats all this jdf 1.51 or w.e i correctly installed ur google ion rev2 and it is currently working could someone tell me or point me in the right direction on how to install themes on this
[G1 Android Development] sonikamd:
currently I don't think there are any themes for Ion. I've been contemplating learning theming to do this but seems a bit intense. Ion seems by far the most responsive rom but is still rather new. jf1.51 is the newest modified rom by JesusFreke, a bit bulkier but alot more user support (themes ect.) hope this helps explain things abit. I used to use winmo too, never again! lol
[G1 Android Development] mak213:
ya i tried all of those other roms i guess themes are sorta rom specific ic now ok, but ya ion in my opinion is fastest most reliable then any other so i would love to see ppl makin themes for ion! :)

Question, I want to switch to this ROM from Hero do I delete the apps folder then just flash this rom or do I delete the apps folder after flashing this rom?
[G1 Android Development] Smokuevo:
reformat your ext2 partiton and wipe your phone.
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
agreed. Its been running solid and super fast for me with hardly any force closes. This is the best ROM yet for the G1/Dream. Simple, yet the fastest, and super stable.
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
For themes, just edit the entire R2 update.zip apk files, and then you can update without a wipe.

If anyone wants it, I have my old update.zip file with part of gloss suite and different icons.

Ok, so after much work and frustration I got the rom and apps2sd working properly and I'm loving this rom! But I have a question, it seems that some of my apps either aren't installing properly or they aren't compatible with this rom because I have the windo with writing and gear icon for those particular apps. My question is how do I fix this?

[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
Hey. I uploaded my last edited update.zip from ION R2.

Sorry, but the icons aren't edited to the gloss suite or aero ones in this version, because I didn't really like them clashing with non-edited icons, but if you really want, I can edit the update.zip to get the icons you want.

This update worked perfectly for me, but I can't assure that for you. I am pretty sure though that nothing bad will happen, as all I've done is edit a couple images in the framework apk as well as a few others.

Just rename to "update.zip" and apply, no need for a wipe if you're already on ION.

[G1 Android Development] 1NfE5T:
Awesome looking theme!!! Thanks bro! Is there anyway you can change the notification bar for me to all grey instead of black and grey? If so i'd love ya lots....if not, then thanks for the theme :D
[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
Here you go. I put a 50% gray layer over it, making it look grey, but keeping the lighting effect.

I haven't tested it though, because I'm on Hero right now, but I did sign the framework apk as well as the entire zip, so you should be fine renaming and applying it.

If anyone needs an ION theme edit, just PM me, or make ask in the themes section- I don't think this really belongs here :P

I don't care too much about the loudness, but it makes my speakers distort, which makes me think it might eventually blow them.

Anyone got an idea other than wipe & flash?

[G1 Android Development] armoredraven:
If you're saying you get force closes of the phone app, this happened to me.

I can't say exactly what the problem was, but it had to do with the fact that I used a JF theme update, instead of an ION one...

Ion loudness issue (noob) require help

Hi, I just flashed Ion r2 onto my phone, and I have to agree with everyone here, its very speedy!

My issue is the loudness - even at minimum volume the in-call sound is too loud and distorts my speakers.

I'm a noob and not up to editing files within roms, so http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=517745 thread hasnt really helped me much.

I dont want to give up my Ion, but I cannot live with the volume levels so loud. Is there any chance someone could do me a favour, and fix up the Ion r2 rom with the audiomod v1 from the thread i mentioned?

Im willing to donate if someone can sort this problem for me! :-)

EDIT: Actually, ive just tested a bit more and the level is ok when volume is turned right down, so its all good!

EDIT 2: Ive just taken another call and the volume is really loud and distorted again, even at minimum volume :-(

Is there anyone that can incorporate the audiomod v1 into Ion r2 for, pretty please?
[G1 Android Development] fdeschape:
haykuro you are simply a genius
[G1 Android Development] joey3002:
do a search on the market for 'lucid' you can use that, its .99 i think. i use it on my ion build.

I found something called lucid rem, is this what you mean? Is it easy to use? Id like to know before I buy it.

Also, to the other poster who mentioned pushing audio files from jf 1.5 - that's beyond my limits of knowledge I'm afraid :-S. I need something that will hold my hand and not potentially hose my system if I mess up!

Hi guys, just wondering, does the 'backup app for root user' backup the app specific data as well? for example I'm using the Receipt Filer app and I have many records in there. So will the data be restored together?

Losing data is the main reason that hold me back from trying new rom due to the potential wipe. :(
[G1 Android Development] setspeed:
Ok, I've downloaded lucid REM, but I'm a bit confused.

When I go to run the script to change my volume, I get "permission denied".

I know I'm a total noob, but wouldn't this indicate that I don't have root? I don't get it though, cos I rooted my phone ages ago, went to jf 1.5 Rom, then to ion. Using telnet I try to connect to localhost and get refused, and typing Su in terminal emulator I get permisiermission denied.

have I lost my root somehow? I thought it would be required to flash ion (I'm using ion r2).

Need some help please, if anyone can explain what I need to do next to sort this.
[G1 Android Development] setspeed:
Hmmm, seem to have sorted it, don't know how! Managed to get lucid script to run and have set my audio back to v0 (jf original). Now just need to make a call to test it, although it is a bit late in the evening...

Problem solved - in call audio no longer too loud or distorted. Thanks very much Joey3002!

Tafkatoo, you are the man. That worked!!

I did after Tafkatoo pointed me in the right direction for the pdf viewer. I couldn't get it to work, no matter what I did. My Camera, Video Recorder, and Gallery completely vanished like it was Chris Angel!

I also tried porting over the dialer, and I can get it to open and dial, but once the call is placed, Force Close!

This is what I tried to push through adb.

adb push com.htc.android.pimlib.jar /system/framework

adb push com.htc.framework.jar /system/framework

adb push com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework

adb push ime.jar /system/framework

Anyone know what else is needed to get htc camera and dialer on this build?
[G1 Android Development] mak213:
can we expect a R3 or an update
[G1 Android Development] ghoonk:
I sure hope so, and soon. I lose my hearing a little bit each time someone calls in. No idea why the speaker is so loud, as is the feedback sound when using the virtual keyboard (I usually leave the sound on so I know if I hit the key)
[G1 Android Development] setspeed:
Download Lucid REM from the marketplace, its $1.99 and worth every penny. Fixed my volume levels immediately.

One other issue I have with Ion is the number of force closes. I was on JF 1.5 before and never had any issues, but with Ion it seems as though every day I get a "run" of force closes, one immediately after another, 3 or 4 in a row.

I am using the same apps I had before, and the closes can be anything from apps to system services.

Not sure what i can do about this..... Ion is great for speed, but just doesnt seem as stable as JF.

MIght be because you're phone is on silent

Probably because you have silent on. Turn the volume up all the way, then you can change it.

anybody else having problems with youtube video stuttering when played over wifi (high quality)? i also started getting random force-closes on the camcorder, and recording is a little iffy, it jerks and jitters :D. this is all on r2. pushing iptables to r1 seems like a better idea since it was faster and more stable. Right now i'm running JF 1.5 adp with the hero theme and after updating the vm and odexing everything the speed is up to par with cyanogen's, but still slower than ion, so i guess i'll give r1 a shot
[G1 Android Development] joey3002:
Any chance this will ever be updated? I love it and it works perfect but I see all these other builds and am getting jealous :)
[G1 Android Development] sonikamd:
joey3002, I doubt it. Ion for the most part is a completely stock Google rom. Adding and modifying stuff will likely slow it down or cause stability issues. Plus it'll take away from it's purity heh :)
[G1 Android Development] joey3002:
then i will sit back, have a beer and enjoy the speed/stableness (sp?) of this build.. it just rocks...
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
yep. i just switched back to jf1.51 last night. it seemed that Ionr2 could not handle video all that well. Using the camcorder also seemed to lock the phone up. its nice being on jf1.51 because it is rock solid in terms of reliability but its UI is a little sluggish compared to ION
[G1 Android Development] sonikamd:
Odd, I haven't experienced either of those problems. Both youtube and the camcorder work flawlessly for me. Still on the old HardSPL, 2.22* radio, with no other camera/video/media apps installed. Most complaints I see about Ion refer to youtube issues. Perhaps I'm not viewing it in HQ, Only have Edge where I'm at so that might be it, idk.
[G1 Android Development] setspeed:
When I did it it just worked, although it took me a little while to work out i had to go into Settings->Locale & text, and uncheck Android keyboard and check Touch input. Also here you can choose whether to use qwerty T9 or compact qwerty.

Edit: Ooops, didnt see your edit!
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
LOL, yep, that was it :P

For those running Google ION ROM, do you have apps on SD (ext2)? Any slowdowns?

Also, today I was playing some music with the built-in player and when I opened the browser, the music started to stutter and it took forever for google.com to come out. It was like the browser and the music player were competing for the same resources, as if there were no management going on. Anyone have this happen before? The music is on my SD card, but that shouldnt matter.
[G1 Android Development] al74:
Anybody knows the answer? Do I have to convert back to ext2 before installing Ion?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Might as well go back to EXT2. I'm not sure if ION supports EXT2. I don't think it does. Not 100% sure though.
[G1 Android Development] UnkzDomain:
EXT3 is supposed to automatically downgrade to ext2 when it senses that the OS can't handle the Journalling support that it has. I haven't tried the Ion ROM since I upgraded to EXT3, but it SHOULD work in theory.
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
the problem with ion r2 is the kernel, it's untested, and I guess i'll consider it broken. ion r1 has better speed, no force closes, all media plays correctly, and the only difference between the two is support for tethering and the kernel. i want to push tethering back to r1 but don't know how to
[G1 Android Development] al74:
Thanks. I'll try it this weekend and report back.
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:

[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
for those that have used both ION Rev 1 & Rev 2, any ideas why Rev 1 is faster?
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
they are using different kernels. I think the speed optimizations are in the ion r1 kernels. Since r2 replaced the kernel, those aren't there anymore.
[G1 Android Development] setspeed:
Quick bit of advice needed - I'm still a real noob!

I'm running Ion r2 and want to try Ion r1 - can i flash the new rom without a wipe? I already have the latest radio and SPL 1.33.2005.

I know its a simple question, but I'm just being cautious - don't want to mash up my phone!

EDIT: Just done it, no wipe - all good!
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
Wow, rev1 is indeed a lot faster. Why was the kernel changed in rev2? When things get revised, it should be for the better...
