Best ROM in my experience!

Many thanx, much appreciated!
[G1 Android Development] FotoJesse623:
Seriously, your Rogers ROM is without a doubt my favorite ROM for the G1. Thanks for all of your work!

Has anyone gotten HTC Sync to synchronize the Calendar with the phone? I tried it before but only gave me the option to sync the Contacts. I don't want to sync with Google Calendar because my company won't allow sending confidential data to Google...

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Touchdown should do what your looking for.
[G1 Android Development] hjlow:
thanks soulife i know have updated the spl and radio and am running your rom on my rogers dream.

my sd card was not partioned beforehand, so if i partition it now do i need to reinstall/factory reset to get it working with your rom?

thanks for your help.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Nope, just put your 500mb (plenty enough, unless you plan on installing debian to it) ext3 partition after your fat partition and your good to go. Upon boot it'll setup apps automatically. You won't need to do anything else. If you need to check spaced used/remaining just type "ext" without quotes in terminal. Another cool thing, if you ever have to wipe in the future, you won't have to reinstall apps since their on sd.
[G1 Android Development] PurpleCowMan:
Soulife, Your ROM is the best one on this entire forum. Hands Down. I've been using since day one, and i could'nt be happier. I just have 2 questions really quick.

1. I see the theme template on your mediafire. Are you currently working on a hero Theme that will be compatible with 3.1? I love the speed on my 3.1 build, but i miss the dark theme from my 2.0 build.

2. Everyone always Says "Apps2SD is automatic" can i run your build without an ext partition? The specs show 40 megs free in system, but can i use it like a standard ROM, and not use the SD card for my apps/system?
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Thanks man, I'm glad your "feelin" the remix....

1. Yes, I'm working on a hero and a custom theme at the moment. In retrospect I should have ported hero first since all the images are there already. But, I like the look of my custom theme so its getting my effort at the moment. Its "dark" in a sence and anyone with a feel for hero's look should like it. Ill post a beta, or stop draggin' my feet and finish it. :)

2. Yes, you can run without a second partition. A2sd is a feature.. either use it or not. What's automatic about it is if you have a ext2/3/4 partition on sd, then you have apps to sd. If you decide not to use a2sd (ie, not have a second partition) then id recommend the "extended" odex build. That will basically remove the dex files present in data to give you full space for your apps... and its also debated to be faster. You "should" be able to flash odex build over the regular build. Its setup to remove the dex files from data when you flash, so you don't have to do anything extra. But you'll need either a mytouch, rooted rogers dream, or .2005 spl to flash it. (Ifyou have a rooted rogers than you have the .2005 spl)
[G1 Android Development] yggdrasil:
Taboo?

I like some of the widgets from mlign hero , they are htc widgets ive tried to strip em out of the rom and move them to the /data/app folder but they dont seem to be working.

Can somone help me install these they are decently cool widgets.

Thanks.

Also the rom rocks ,thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Zappza:
Just me who are encountering FCs when stopping a Video Recording?

Camcorder -> Record -> Stop = FC

Thanks :)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Soulife ... Just FYI ... there was a FULL sys odex'ing problem (on specifically the Camera.apk b/c of the /system/lib access I believe) ... that caused this FC behaviour.

Zappza ... are you using his odex'd build? ... If so ... Soulife you may wanna republish the ROM w/ the non-odex'd Camera.apk ... that's what fixed it on my build.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Thank you zappza for pointing it out, and enomther for the solution. It'll be fixed inthe next update. Teeter don't like to be odexed either...
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea man np ... also the HTC_IME doesn't like it either ... what they all have in common is their direct reliance upon /system/lib's .... :rolleyes:

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Luck then I guess, no problems there. Its getting swapped out soon anyway. :) thanks man
[G1 Android Development] bbbblack:
Hey soulife, will you putting any "android donut" features into the next update? I've read the feature list and its seems like there are tons of enhancements.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Shiiit, I wish. Were impatiently waiting for htc to release some donut goods. Haven't even heard a wisper about it yet. I know 3 different rogers tech support encounters gave the same answer... "rogers is not supporting android OS upgrades". So now its up to htc to provide something for us.
[G1 Android Development] tropheuz:
exchange

Hey soulife,

Does this ROM has full exchange sync? (contacts/calendar/mail)?

best regards
[G1 Android Development] Zoide_:
I think all Rogers and HTC builds do unless the guy who puts it together removes the feature on purpose.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
The answer to this question is literally 1 page back ;) lol
[G1 Android Development] bbbblack:
Is it possible to strip some of the apks from the adp or ota 1.6 update and push them into your rogers rom? I believe they updated the browser, gallery, camcorder and the mms app
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Don't think there's much to strip if anything. Browser is custom, its probably what someone running donut would upgrade to. Mms is custom too. And the camera in this build has zoom etc, and is different (better imho) than the one from donut. Its tied into the gallery app so if I swap gallery ill break everything picture/video/camera related. Everything else in donut I can think of (global search, widget, battery usage stats, vpn, etc) is too branched out to just copy a few apks and make it work. I will be bringing a cupcake form of "global search" into the next update.

what ive been workin on...
[G1 Android Development] evilone1969:
wow looking VERY nice SL, I cant wait for this!!!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
Questions:

1) Where do I get the .2005 SPL? I have a TMO G1 US. I updated the SPL a long ago in the JF1.5 days. It has been fine on all the JAC/Drizzy/CM builds I have tried. I have no clue if I have the Danger SPL or .2005 SPL or what. Can anyone explain this too me or point me to a tread listing all available SPLs for my phone (maybe I'm blind but I searched and couldn't find it)?

2) I want to install the odex'ed build. After doing that I just need to adb push Camera.apk from the non-odex build to fix it right? Is there anything else like that with a known fix I would need to do after install?

ENOMTHER: I am currently running your latest mod of TheOffical Rogers. It is awesome, but a little laggy sometimes. I see you have used this rom as well. Is it faster? ...are you planning an update to your own I should just wait for? Is it possible to no-wipe upgrade to this?

TIA
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
rpmccormick,

You should already have the correct SPL. Otherwise my Rogers ROM would not work for you.

Also ... I will be posting an update soon ... there are some camera issues I'm ironing out. I haven't forgot about you guys.

But as far as soulife's work and this ROM ... personally ... no, I haven't run his v3.1 ... but I'm sure it's quality work. And yes, as far as pushing the camera. I can't atest one way or another whether his ROM is faster or not. But do know, that certain apps on Rogers will cause some lagginess regadless of the ROM you choose ... just nature of the beast ... I'm really hoping the next Rogers update from HTC improves this slightly.

As far as wiping ... yea ... it's a good idea to wipe when changing builds.

Soulife,

That theme looks bad @$$ ... hope I can steel a copy when you're finished ;)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
you have to delete the odex for camera as well as the apk, otherwise it'll still read the odex instead of dalvik cache.

was gonna wait for 3.2 to be finished, but ill upload 3.1.1 with some bug fixes...

hmmm, ill think about it :D
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
**deleted**

(big thanks to enomther, always helpfull no matter how stupid the question. He's busy with support in all his threads, yet still takes a moment to help people in mine (takes a lot of patience i dont have, thanks enomther))
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
Thanks guys.

...so for future reference, I have the .2005 SPL? What is the diff between that and the "Danger" SPL and the hard SPL? How many SPL's for the G1 are out there?

that covers the 3 originals, then haykuro released the .2005 spl (aka, danger spl, per cyanogen). the haykuro spl surprisingly isnt in the forums stickies and i dont feel like searching for it, but it allocates space differently so you have more room in data and system partitions compared to the originals...

anyway, that thread will give you some info.
[G1 Android Development] evilone1969:
how goes the theme Soul? :) dont me to rush ya :) just luv this rom sooo much... but the boring theme is killing me haha

i love the rom... keep up the great work :)

Verry soon. All artwork is done, I'm finishing up some xml edit now..

IF ANY THEMERS READ THIS AND ARE WILLING TO HELP ME, I CAN'T FIND THE PROPER XML TO EDIT THE MUSIC WIDGETS TEXT COLOR (I found it but changing it to white breaks the widget). ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED, I DON'T HAVE ANYONE TO ASK FOR HELP
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
ok i lied, lol. im being picky and want some criticism. honest opinions.

im not sure im happy with the lock screen.. icons, and window. the notification menu feels off, and im not sure i like the emoticons, or the app tray gradient. i was also thinkin about changing notification icons and the icons that you see when you hold down the power button....
[G1 Android Development] soulife:

Been waiting all week for it.

Dark looks mixed in with blue and nice and glassy too.

What sort of things were you having a problem accepting ?

I think the icons are good, and im really digging the dock (exposed) and the dock button is great too.

Thanks btw.
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Hey Soulife...You've done a h*ll of a job on that! Looks really nice. So can you finish so I can steal it too! rofl...lol. :eek: Just kidding. I'm thinking after this next update, I'll let enomther & you keep the "rogers" dream alive. I'm pretty happy w/ that Magic build currently. Looking forward to your next release.
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
Oh damn that theme is looking awesome Soulife!

How easy / difficult would it be to pull in the Donut power control widget? It's about the only thing I'd want right now while you wait for a Donut build to awesomify (new word).
[G1 Android Development] PurpleCowMan:
Hey Soullife

Again, awesome ROM. Love it and its speed.

In the OP you were mentioning that you were also working on porting the HTC Music Player from the Hero builds. Any update on this? I know you've been busy working on the theme and all, but Being an everyday user of the Music App, I would personally LOVE the new music player.

Parse Error

I just installed the 3.1 version and I have a problem with apks that are on my SD card. I try installing some apks and i get a Parse error : There is a problem parsing the package. Can anyone help? FYI all my previous ROMs are Soulife's Rogers.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
I remember seeing that error when I had a corrupt apk. Try to download another apk, and also check your sdcard for corruption. On a side note, if your coming from a 2.x version to a 3.x version of my builds you have to wipe. If your coming from 3 to 3.1 your ok. I'm only saying this cause I'm not sure what effects your gonna have if you didn't wipe. But I'm putting my money on the corrupted apk's/sdcard.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Thanks for using the rom,

That's an old to do list, there's pleanty of nice music apps on the market (well, at least a few good ones) I don't think its worth the effort. It does look nice, its just slow to start, and hard to port.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Too difficult for me.. maybe stericson could do it. I've been using the curvefish widgets untill donut comes around for us.
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
hello, soulife i love this rom. much better than the first breed you had out. i am using it on a rogers phone at that. it's quite fast and the extra space keeps it from slowing down too much when switching apps. one thing i notice is that, seemingly, since putting this version on texts between myself and others is a bit strange. the times are all ok, but some seem to get stuck and show up later in a conversartion. i have noticed it in both directions. no big deal but a bit confusing sometimes. think it is the rom or maybe just a network thing? any news when the official 2.0 is coming? i have the latest source which i think is 1.6 or something. i have been considering giving kernel work a go .. until later :)
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
thanks for your loyalty, your patronage is appreciated.. lol. im guessing network related issues since i dont have any issues with delay in messages sent or recieved. ive been busy with life (back in school, job hunting, social, etc..) so i havent publicly updated my builds in a while (im always working on something though). there is such an abundance of different builds on this forum that i wont be releasing individual updates anymore. im gonna start a general thread and put any roms i build in one thread, hopefully this will cut down on some of the pollution in the forums. i owe the community my personal rogers build (we can call it v3.2) and my theme. ive been playing with a lot of different builds (aosp, ion, blur, hero, rogers, etc, etc..) so im gonna post them eventually, its just that this forum has become somewhat of a joke. i see "devs" posting custom roms in one thread and asking how to setup an app via adb in another. so sad.

edit)

what latest source? :) if you are sitting on a 1.6 rogers dump i want a link... ;)
[G1 Android Development] gwydionwaters:
no rogers dump, but i just finished compiling the 1.6 build from source. i have zipped and uploaded to my site. here is a link if you want it http://robloranger.ca/files/shared/1.6-system.img.zip i could also upload the other images if they are of use to you .. well it is uploading now anyway, about 5 minutes left
[G1 Android Development] Icebergxx:
I'm in the US with Tmobile using a 1.5 soulife build, I don't think it's the latest one because I noticed the outline for the picture frame was transparent and I didn't like it LOL!

But It's great, these roms you make really are, I disable always on mobile data and switch to 2g and I can get up to 24 hours of battery life, 8 or 11 on normal/heavy texting/usage.

On cyans builds, I only managed 4 hours.

I don't mind how often you update these roms, as long as the apps being published are compatible I have no complaints thank you very much for these roms.

ok yh im running this on my HTC Magic 32b (Vodafone - Just FYI) and i'm failing to see the G-Sensor working

Is it my bad or the devs bad?

[Always wanted to know, can it actually be called an accelerometor?]
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
This rom is dead i think and its based on a old cm kernel this isnt recc anymore.
[G1 Android Development] boogie1077:
Very nice soulife! Fast and stable.

This is my favorite build and daily driver.

Since you're using Cyanogen's kernel is this build over-clocked?

I did have problems installing the weather widget and spare parts. The weather widget would install but force closed and Spare Parts wouldn't install. I had other versions on my pc that installed fine though. So it might have just been a bad download..

Also, FYI - older versions of WiFi Tether wouldn't work but the newest version works just fine.

What's the status of the '5 home-screens'? I know there's been some people that don't want it, but I would love to put it on my phone. I know it's a pain, but maybe have 2 versions? or just the files to push the new home-screen over (or remove)??

Thanks for all your hard work.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
The scaling frequency allow it to "overclock" on an as needed basis, its not constantly overclocked. I only tested the new wifi tether and it worked. The old ones might not work because there is no iptables binary. I installed the "apps" add on with space parts and weather widget etc and it worked fine, maybe it was a bad download on your part or a bad upload on my part. Ill update tomorrow or Monday with md5 checksums. 5 homescreens is on hold, ill look into it but its not just a xml edit as I thought to get it working. I might play with jf smali dex disassembler so if I can do it I will. I think I read someone got 7 homescreens in a hero build somewhere, ill look into it. And I'm glad you like "my" build.
[G1 Android Development] ChrisiMA:
Hi guys (and girls..),

great ROM!

Just one thing: Since a have German G1 here with a German keyboard layout, how can I switch the hard keyboard layout in the HTC application to German?

I've replaced the necessary file in usr/keychars/ to get the German layout in most applications. However it seems that the HTC app for the text prediction overrules the settings put in there.

Anyone know what I have to do /replace to not get the erratic switching between the US and the German hard keyboard?

Thnx for your help

Can someone confirm if the Google Contact's actually sync correctly with this rom?

The Haykuro's Rogers rom .... didn't sync contacts, they all newly created contacts and calendar entries stayed on the phone!!
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
I read your post and got nervous because that would really suck. I just added a test contact in my phone than logged on to gmail through a browser checked my contacts and it was there. Than I checked calender by adding a test entry and it did not sync. I tried to add another when I noticed an option to sync with exchange, my calender, or my gmail account so I picked gmail. I checked it in my browser and it eventually updated. When I added a entrey in the browser it updated on my phone immediately. So yea, it works for me.

Browser Problem

Nice ROM very fastand & very stable!!!.... I do have ONE problem.

The problem is with the Browser, that I NEVER had before on other builds (JF, Hero, Ion)

The problem is when i go to Microsoft Outlook Web Access:

"We're sorry. Microsoft (R) Outlook (TM) Web Access requires a web browser that supports frames and JavaScript, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or Netscape Navigator 3.0"

Yes I do have "Enable JavaScript" checked in the Settings

Why am I getting this error? Is there a solution to this? I NEED to be able to access my email thru the browser.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

TIA
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
maybe the user agent for the browser is different in rogers roms than others. try to download steel or another browser and see if it solves the problem (i suggested steel because you can change user agent string)
[G1 Android Development] chamelieon:
Hey soulife,

i noticed since i flashed your rom, my notification light LED on the phone doesnt come on for messages, I do believe it works for charging the phone. is this a known issue or is it just me? I wiped and then flashed. everything else works cherry.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
i honestly donno, havent noticed. im playin with some stuff right now but as soon as im on my "stable" build again ill send a text to myself to find out.
[G1 Android Development] 281:
Yeah mine also. It blinks sometimes and when dead or charging the LED comes up, but when downloading apps and recieving text/email i rarely get an LED notification, this is why i didnt flash Hero and this is why I went back to Ion from your rom. Other than that it is very fast and stable, Great Build, good luck with your future builds/thx but until the LED is fixed ill stay with ion
[G1 Android Development] setzer715:

Switch to LatinIME?

Hi,

since there's an annyoing bug in the HTC_IME (all over all the roms) for the German hardware keyboard:

- How can I install the standard Google Latin_IME?

I tried to push that apk to system/app und the libjni-inyinime.so to system/lib, but it doesn't show up in the settings after a reboot.

When trying to adb install LatinIME taken from the Dudes's 1.3 RC, adb gives me an "Install Failed Updated Incompatible".

Can anyone help?

Thanx so much, I'd love to use this rom but with the standard IME...
[G1 Android Development] chamelieon:
actually I get a purple LED when i get email. i get all the LEDs when charging. but never get that green TEXT LED. its only that one everything else works for me.

btw i flashed the new update and my bluetooth audio stayed on the phone, but i didnt wipe with the update so im gonna try that now see if it fixes itself.
[G1 Android Development] edwin.espino:
I have a problem with my phone acting very slow and give me lots of problems every time I use uniforn ap2sd that comes with this build. I wiped the phone and flash the image. at the begining it seem very fast, however, as soon as install all my appl and reboot, it starts to go realy slow and it freeze. I never had this issue before with using "Lucy script". Does any one have the same issue. Do you know how can I move my data to phone and just leave the cash and the appl in the sdcard?
[G1 Android Development] AddDrivenMind:
I experienced the same problem. I solved this by using the program (which I've used since the day I got the phone) called "Missed Call" which allows you to set custom LED colors (red, blue, green, pink, purple, orange) to SMS, Calls, Bluetooth.

Now I get a LED notification for every text or email.
[G1 Android Development] edwin.espino:
I love your build. But I do not like v2 or v2.1 update with AUFS and the over clocking. I like to be able to selected my own Apps2SD like Lucid scrip. However, I could manually change it... Also, over-clocking kills my battery and I prefer the performance versus the speed. could you make the previous version available?

Thanks for this great build
