I'm just advance user, not a developer. I'm learning Java, I hope sometime I can post that topic :D

But please read my post carefully. I don't think I'm wrong. You should try to use your phone with this rom for a long time, you will be ought to add ringtone to your phone, you will be sick with Dude's design (text near text, can't read it, 4 icons in 1 row is enough), You will think why you want new boot screen ? It is bigger than your old one and how many time you turn off your phone ? And sometime you see your friend's phone, he use a build-in wallpaper and I see that it's realy good, what will you do ? remove old launcher ? lost all your note, all shortcuts you arranged ? With louder volume, well, we have a Chinese phone with bad sound :D. Just listen to a song and you will hate louder volume mod.

I can change all these feature in this rom, but I really like to use Roger rom. I glad to see soulife makes a Roger rom with all feature.

Nice day.
[G1 Android Development] setzer715:
What is actually funny is if you READ what soulife said about removing the audio all you have to do is download dude's resources1.1 pack, add em to your sd card and BAM, you have all of the stuff your complaining about. Its like you want the dev's to do it your way or they suck. Stop being lazy and help yourself.

Sorry to get off topic soulife. Won't happen again. Great ROM BTW!
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
I did.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Now now. I bit my tongue. He's been flamed, let it rest.
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
What's about AppToSDaTrackDog ?
[G1 Android Development] smasraum:
Not a problem since the icons are separate. It is tight, but that's a preference thing. If you don't like this version, stick with Virtudude's version which is much less modifiedd.
[G1 Android Development] grokdesigns:
I've been running this build all day, loving it so far!
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Ok so I find it strange I had such a bad experience with vers a. Vers b has been awesome for me so I just flashed back to a to see maybe it was a fluke I dunno will let ya know.
[G1 Android Development] flywb:
The v2.8.2 build can not flash rogers.default.theme.2.8x.zip
[G1 Android Development] pbaird:
I was reading your posts thinking the same thing...

I flashed ver a odexed. I did see my battery taking a hard hit, but absolutely no other problems. The phone seems more responsive than 2.8 did. To save battery I disabled compcache and am not using any swap. Phone is still running great, and not eating the battery as bad.

I'd be curious about this rom with compcache at 10/32 and no overclock.
[G1 Android Development] tendaas:
Nandroid backup , then wiped and flashed over Cyanogen v3.6.7.2. Very nice build. Very fast so far too.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Wtf... it is. You can check if you don't believe me (cat /system/bin/userinit) Download overclock widged to change maximum cpu scaling. And compcache is not enabled by default. (Unless you have a userinit.sh on system/sd or never turned it off)

I don't understand why people are saying "a odexed" is draining their battery more that regular "a". The only difference is odex's.

Flyweb

Read this page, or even a page back to find out why.
[G1 Android Development] Brandice128:
Quick Q...

Do you just wipe and apply with this ROM? Cus I might just try and don't wanna brick my phone
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
You must be rooted to do it of course and make sure u have G1 and not Rogers G1.

Still testing a no issues as of yet I did upgrade from b without wipe though.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
yes, this is the answer for any rom. (except hero) just wipe and flash. if you have haykuros spl then extended is for you, otherwise flash regular.
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
Hmmm, silly me. I've been all the time at the standard version (no-odex) and I though it is fast. Now I've just reflashed to the odex version and that is killer.

Although the listed widgets don't work the ROM is very stable and pretty.

Can not wait till the widgets problem will be covered and the dialer issue fixed and that will be a ROM to have.

Great respect to Soulife!
[G1 Android Development] droiddv:
I give my props to this rom, it is fast and has a really cool theme. The resources are perfect to add to the sdcard later. Everything looks cool. I put a new rom on almost everyday. I might stick with this rom for awhile. MEE LIKES
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
The sluggishness begins again.... Time to start removing some apps see if I can pinpoint something.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
keep me posted which build... and what are you removing, personal apps?

also take note if your running compcache when it happens
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Build a odex extended and I think I fixed it by removing only one app. Will continue to test and see but I looked at the running processes and a app I had disabled still had services running so I removed the app rebooted and seems to be gone but will post for sure in a couple hours. Also if this app is the problem I will post the app name if not im just speculating at this point. There where no problems on build b but that uses old kernel so it could be the new kernel conflicting anyways time will tell.
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
Widgets

I did removed the Toggle Widgets and LockMe widget and replaced them with others from the market (by CurveFish) and things are working very well.

I did noticed although very long charging time.
[G1 Android Development] maleman876:
camera doesn't support geotagging?
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Ok so after a few hours I think I can confidently say that the caller ID whitepages app is what was causing my slow downs dunno y but I removed it rebooted and been using it for multiple hours without any issues.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Good. That much closer to a 2.9. It will definately have a fix for the white date. I think it'll come odexed from now on, seems quicker. And since it'll come odexed I think ill move dalvik back to sd for a2sd, not sure yet though. I'm gonna maybe retheme the dialer exactly the same but start over to see if it resolves the hesitation sometimes gotten for smart dialer (although I'm not sure if its always been slow even before I themed it). And ill fix the notification icons (their white on white backround when you open status bar). And was thinkin bout adding a percentage on the battery in the statusbar since I haven't ported stericsons lockscreen. I'm gonna lighten up the theme some so its not as dark too.
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Sweeet ready to test whenever...
[G1 Android Development] bbbblack:
Hey soullife i know that this isnt a problem with your rom in particular but.. is there any reason that the picture quality is so low whenever you call someone with a picture ? Or when they call you ? Is there a setting that you can tweak or i can tweak so that this can be fixed for outgoing and incoming calls ? Thanks in advance soullife
[G1 Android Development] bitjeklein:
Hi Soulife,

Thanks for providing this wonderful rom.

I like it very much, except for the blue theme/iconset.

Tastes differ :-P, and I like the original default rogers theme better,

and I wanted to ask you if it is possible to include that in your rom's (with odex ?!!) too (eliminates the need for updating a second time to get the rogers default theme).

in any way, thank you very much
[G1 Android Development] bbbblack:
Yes battery percentage in the status bar would be the next best thing in this rom.. its in another rogers rom but it sucked because it only did 100, 80, 60, 40. And half the time it would be inaccurate. I would like the 1% incriments like the stericson lockscreen. Maybe you can port that lockscreen to the 2.9 rogers?
[G1 Android Development] bbbblack:
Sorry about the double post, my G-wizzy froze up upon clicking post quick reply lol
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
how do you check to see if you are using either compcahe or swap? is there a way? because I ran the script and it was very laggy.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
If you ran the script you'd be using swap. There's a few ways to check if its running, one way is to type "free" in terminal. If there's anything besides 0's next to swap than its running. if you want to check how the userinit script is configured type "cat /system/bin/userinit" and that's the userinit.sh script it puts at system/sd.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
so how do I turn on compcahe?
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
swap_on

(C limit)
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Ok

A was a total failure for me left me dead in the water today with a unusable phone no clue what the deal is and y a dont like my phone. Flashed back to b. Also soulife we need a mirror that will allow downloading from the phone as I had to search for a computer today to get b downloaded since I was out.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
We need to figure out what's goin on... was it the odexed build? Was compcache running, And I do need a better host but sharebee is even less pda friendly than mediafire. I noticed with mediafire once the download link comes up you have to click on it, if you let the page sit for a few secs it will forward you to page not found. I found this out trying to kill kittens (winmo forums joke).

Edit)

I'm gonna flash back to rogers tonight and ride with it till it happens to me or this weekend. I'm beta testing my ion (I miss the lock screen) but I gotta get the wrinkles out. I wonder if its the kernel or the modules, or some 3rd party software, guess time will tell.
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
did you have compcache or linux swap running? how far were you able to boot up your phone?
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Was running odex'd vers with compcache running.
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
when your phone crashed, how far into the boot up process were you able to go?
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
So I need to check my odex work. Or somethings up with compcache. (I don't use it, odex is plenty fast). Have you gotten any force closes on odex. Nvm, Ill check logcat.
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
I got alot of wait or force closes after a couple hours of usage and going back and forth from phone to mail to home.
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
were you able to restart the phone?
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
I could restart fine then widgets wouldnt load and the problems all began again reflashed to vers b without wipe and i was back in business had to reload my userinit to get swap working i dunno what the deal is.
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
i don't think it's the odex version. i wouldn't be surprised if it's the kernel from cyanogen 3.7.6.2

i used cyanogenmod 3.7.6.2 and my phone went nuts... went back to 3.7.6.1 then now 3.6.8.. everything is good.

i also ran compcache on 2.8 without a hitch...
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
Soulife, can you release the odex version (a) with the kernel from 2.8? just to see if it's the kernel or not? kernel from 2.8 supported compcache still.
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Thats def a thought or maybe try cyan's newest.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
As soon as I'm at a computer.

Edit)

It might even be something stupid like a missing odex. Ill try for a minor update tomorrow. No promises though. I didn't even get a chance to update ion last Sunday.
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
booo to ion they have enough devs I say u stick to rogers and the HTC base......
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
Weird, I've 2.8.2 a ext with odex and I'm running smooth and stable for 1.5 day already.

From time to time I've a small wait after using some memory hungry app but nothing more.

Widgets are not refreshing their state although still working (I can switch WiFi, Bluetooth, Lock Screen).

I've compcache running as well. Swappines is set at 60.
[G1 Android Development] glock30:
I am starting to wonder if it is the whole inaccurate battery thing... I reverted to my previous version of soulife rogers with no compcache running and was having the battery issue when I didn't have it before. I'm going to re-flash the 2.8.2a odexed again... let's see what happens.
[G1 Android Development] neo21:
I am using 2.8.2 a extended non-odex for 2 days now and apart of twidgit non working, dialer sometimes slow and no contacts show up and some small lags (home screen has to re-build) it is fast (i dont use swapper or compcache) and no problems occurred.

battery is good, too...I got about 24h with some emailing, browsing and listening to music...take a look at the "timeriffic" app, I switch to airplane mode at night automatically.

...some suggestions for the next release:

- if odex is the way to go, pls provide the default rogers theme for it

- extend both themes to 5 screens (or even better the 4 = 1 up, 1 left, 1 right, 1 down screen)

- port stericsons htcmusic app pls :)
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
No no no, why ppl are so excited about HTC Music? It is slow and is harder to create collection to listen than the default player.

5 home screens is another thing that will consume the phone resources.

This rom should stay clean and fast.

Someone could adapt themes to it but beside that it is perfect.
[G1 Android Development] neo21:
the rom is good but not perfect yet...the caller & widget issues are not solved yet and honestly 3 homescreens might be fine if you organize your phone iphone style but not if you use some widgets with apps at the bottom of the screen...
[G1 Android Development] glock30:
I don't see the idea of speeding things up only to slow things back down with optional features. If you want a music player or a different home screen, can't you add it your self. Better to have a nice base to customize rather than make something that is already custom? Just my .02.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
You gave me an idea.. winmo style. Might make a clean version.
[G1 Android Development] dashed:
Please do! I am using Cyan now, but would love to have the HTC dialer back.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
jst flashed this last night amazingly fast with swap not so good with compcahe unless I did something wrong but I installed on a fresh sdcard and installed apps one by one the last 2 I installed was root booter and advanced task manager 2.5 I guess that it didn't like one of them because it rebooted itself out of nowhere and got stuck in a bootloop. Reflashed last night after wiping and now it seems somewhat slow.
[G1 Android Development] ayeaye:
thank you for the rom!

Quick question, how do i know if apps2sd is working? My sd card is already partitioned, but my available memory on phone is still decreasing when I install new apps. Is there an easy way to check?
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
yea dalvik cache goes to sd. type "ext" in terminal to check free space on ext partition. or type "ls /system/sd/app" to list the apps on sd. i may put dalvik back on sd in the next update.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
which build?
[G1 Android Development] Jak Crow:
Ran 2.8.2 with compcache and apps2sd on a 350MB ext3 part and performance wasn't very good. The browser and Steel were extremely slow to start and load pages. I run lock2.0 and that would either take a long time to start up, fail to start with a black screen, or just crash. I went back to my backup of the latest CM build.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
I got 5 builds up and their all 2.8.2. Was it a/b odexed or non-odexed, or regular.
[G1 Android Development] pbaird:
yeah!

I'll second that. I'm lovin your Rogers work. Exchange with calendar and contacts and no Hero bloat. Keep up the good work.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
I'm tryin to work the kinks out, I could use more details from anybody haveing any problems, most preferably which exact build. I will say this though, I haven't used an HTC build yet that's faster than a Google based one. Maybe I'm spoiled by ion but this build definately has lag during startup after first install during sync where as ion has like no lag, almost at all. I'm running version "a" odex with compcache on and so far running smooth just waiting for something to happen. More input equals a faster stable build, this rom has some potential and I want to take it there.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
2.82 a with odex and compcache

update:

reflashed reinstalled apps but root booter and advanced task manager 2.5 works great compcahe is on and working well swap seems faster though to me gonna test it out for the next day or until it bootloops.

Thanks for the great rom with HTC Dialer and Exchange.
[G1 Android Development] k2thejx5:
texts

hi i have version 2.8.2 a and sometimes miss texts i have always had this problem its not a lot maybe like one out of 10 im using handcent sms i hear the sound but no led notification or anything just wanted to now if someone else had a problem lie that.
[G1 Android Development] Jak Crow:
It was A odex.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
ok I just went into the market and searched locale and it bootlooped on me out of nowhere again I have the 2.82, extended version a with odex. I'm gonna try the non-odex version and see if it's stable. (also using compcahe not swap)

anyone else having this problem could it be my sdcard? it has ran every other rom just fine.
[G1 Android Development] bitjeklein:
YESSSS!!

A clean version, with the default rogers theme would be perfect.

People can then add apps and change themes as they see fit.

Thanks anyway!!
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
It seems like everyone with a problem is running version "a" odex. This means the problem is either in the odex work, or the kernel/module/compression method don't like roges. Anyone experiencing a problem please help me troubleshoot it by flashing the next in line. Example, if version "a" odex is a problem than try "a" non-odex, if that's a problem too than try version "b" etc.. and post back your experiences. This way I have a better idea of what the problem could be.

Its been stated on cyanogens thread that .29 kernel can cause random reboots from kernel panic or oopsen and version "a" uses .29 kernel.

Help me help you.
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
That will not be much help but I have NO problems with 2.8.2a extended, neither the regular or odex. I'm using my phone daily, texting, calling, listening to the music over bluetooth, mailing, browsing, playing games, using various software and beside the widgets switches freeze, dialer loosing phone book from time to time and small lags after exiting large memory consuming programs the rom is solid as a ... rock.

If someone has a software that is causing a problem or can describe the situation so I can repeat it I'm willing to help to see if the problem is phone/rom/configuration related.
[G1 Android Development] glock30:
I wonder if it is not that there are more issues with the version A odex, but that there are more people trying the version A odex since it looks like it should be the faster one.
[G1 Android Development] pbaird:
good here

I'm using 2.8.2a odexed - not a single problem yet. I'm using it fairly heavy. Lots of phone use - sometimes 6 hours of conference calls a day - and using gmail and exchange - with a constantly updating exchange calendar.

I'm not a heavy apps user though.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
True, nexvision said version "a" and its odex counterpart both gave him problems, but "b" was ok so far.I'm running 2.8.2 "a" odex with compcache and overall it seems great, but aftere first flash at the setup screen I got a FC/Wait so I hit wait and all was good, but reguardless it shouldn't have come up. I'm also wondering if its some 3rd party software, after all, app development wasn't based off of htc's framework.
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Reinstalled on clean format didnt install half the programs I normally do mainly advanced task manager and well see if that does it since someone else mentioned task manager.
[G1 Android Development] neo21:
+1

yeah that would really be a great solution :)
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
as far as apps go.

I've got about 40 apps installed and I'm good. Like I said before looking at logcat waiting for my dalvik to rebuild after a wipe I saw about 5 of my app throw an error. They work fine as far as first appearences go though. I'm wondering if its a compatability issue.
[G1 Android Development] glock30:
I am on the odex version a, and the only thing I am noticing is my battery not making it through the day where as before it did... I have the comcache enabled. I have also been messing with the phone a lot more than I did before... maybe that is not helping. I am not getting force closes or anything of that nature though.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Some people on cyanogens thread are reporting more battery drain. I can't speak for their phone usage though but i'd imagine the extra read/write activity from compcache would drai the battery faster. I never use it but since I'm troubleshooting its been on all day and at this time its lower than the average work day. That's why I setup an on/off toggle in terminal.
[G1 Android Development] berchielli:
I need help!

So, I install soulife.rogers.v2.8.2.a.extended.odex.zip and everything works just fine. Than I install rogers.default.theme.2.8x.zip and a crazy boot loop starts...

I did a wipe everytime before an "update.zip".

Please, forgive my bad english.

thanks
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Check you pm... for the record

Odex versions were a test so I didn't make an odex default theme. I will correct this in the next update, but if you want the regular theme in the meantime you have to use a non-odex build.
[G1 Android Development] vicmanf:
Themes

Hey Everyone,

I did search for this question on how to apply themes to this builds?

where you download the resouces there were some themes apk that I downloaded and I search through the thread but didnt' find the answer any help? thanks,:)
[G1 Android Development] [[ Cold ]]:
just flashed yhour 2.8.2.a extended... and got the themed one... which one is the "generic"themed one?? thanks!
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
hold off on flashing themes till i update, there are 5 different versions uploaded right now and the themes dont work on all. i will make all themes work on all builds in the next update. basically, if your using an odex build dont flash a theme.
[G1 Android Development] AGunz82:
Can u port hero1.45 theme. I love this rom but want that theme.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
esp

Lol.. that's one of em'. Stay outta my head.
[G1 Android Development] EZ14U2NV:
holy hell those two posts make me feel like singing... but i wont :D
[G1 Android Development] bbbblack:
Hey soulife i remember you saying in one of the updates you fixed the led issue.. i use the missed call app for notifications and it seems like now the green led overrides the missed call notifications. Any idea as to why that may be happening?
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Not sure. I assume cause before it wasn't working at all and now it is. When I was thinkin bout how to fix the issue I considered using missed call but the comments in the market lead me to believe it had too many bugs. Maybe its a bug.
[G1 Android Development] bbbblack:
Oh ok.. but im not using the latest missed call from the market, i have an apk for the old missed call app when it was still being made by developer ANNO and it actually worked lol.. would you like the apk file to mess around with it? Because the old missed call app worked perfectly with your other rogers builds before the LED FIX..
[G1 Android Development] neo21:
I am using the 2.8.2 extended a non-odex for a week now (daily use) and its really good. I figured out that using swapper will help making it 100% fluid (otherwise it slows down after a day, especially when switching between home screen and browser...)

I get 1 fc from time to time...an "acore" crash when switching back to home screen. it happen 1-2 times a day. I enclose a logfile, maybe it helps you improving the next update ;)
[G1 Android Development] evilone1969:
tyvm!!!

sweet rom, i really appreciate all the work u have done :)
