OK just finished setting up my exchange and gmail crap all is synced perfect no issues.

The speed is awesome I could be over exagerating the speed since I was trying the hero roms but everything is instant. There is still the delay when loading the dialer to get the smartdial to start working maybe I will enable swap to see if that fixes it (works really great on hero).

Oh yeah the dialer is awesome finally someone got that done on htc based ROM's.

I am really loving this rom great work man keep it up...

EDIT::

Ok did some more testing with swap the smart dial loads instantly.

Widget problem still exists check digital clock widget by maizem, bluetooth toggle widget and wifi widget. They all work but they stop updating. Havent seen any other problems will let ya know if I do,

Fixed voicesearch by pushing the lib.so appears that was all that was needed.
[G1 Android Development] dwang:
Is there any way to mute the HTC logo sound on boot?

Its super loud.

Also widgets don't seem to load. Try "js weather" from the marketplace. It gets stuck in "loading forecast".

smart dial load slow as well.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
# su

$ rwsystem

$ rm /system/media/boot.mp3

$ rosystem

$ exit

# exit

Will mute the boot sound.

The dialer hesitates a sec after first setup. But I've been hitting the dial button from time to time to check on it and its been fine, even after closing it.

I'm currently running js weather, retroclock, calendar, overclock widgets and so far their all current. I'm waiting for them to stop, but so far so good. The only thing I can think as far as js weather is make sure location services is enabled, it not by default unless you enabled it during setup.

The website "http://mediafire.com/soulife" can not open.!!!
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Lol. Try again..

I'm thinkin bout sharebee.com. I need better hosting. Donno my bandwidth limit on mediafire but 40gigs in 6 days at 7xx downloads. Their gonna cut me off soon.
[G1 Android Development] flywb:
Can provide direct download link?
[G1 Android Development] evilone1969:
luv this rom.. tyvm for ur hard work.. only issue i have is my widgets load very slowly and sometimes hang not always but they do (digital clock shows 6:11 and it was 6:45 ect) js weather loads for me .. just slowly.. but its a super nice job .. and everything else seems rock solid..

again thank you for ur work :) great job
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Nice Work!

Nice Work!
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Installed retro widget looked at phone which was idle at 1:2xam and the phone read 10:37PM on it so widgets def arent updating like the home screen isnt refreshing
[G1 Android Development] flywb:
This theme is so ugly.:(:(
[G1 Android Development] QBANIN:
I experience this issue too on all roger's builds :mad:
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
I can't please everyone, I change the backround for my setup but I like it. There is a default theme that you can flash or use to port or build your own theme. Amaze us.
[G1 Android Development] smuvman:
theme

i actually like the theme. ive been going back and forth from virtududes to ravenge to the dudes rogers to this one. i just flashed this one today so im going to try and keep it all day to see if i like it. so far i had a few fc's but i didnt wipe so i cant blame the rom. i REALLY like the theme though so i guess so far so good. i'll report later on
[G1 Android Development] hu333:
hello soulife, I like your rom and want a try. bit I cannot access to mediafire.com/soulife.

Is there any another website can download your rom?

thanks.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Unless someone is nice enough to upload it to a mirror (probably not gonna happen) its gonna have to wait till I'm behind a computer.
[G1 Android Development] QBANIN:
The default theme is buggy. On the top taskbar clock font should be black, not white (almost invisible).
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Have you downloaded the default theme since yesterday. It should be fixed now, I dropped the original services.jar in the theme when I did the 2.8 update.
[G1 Android Development] QBANIN:
I've downloaded the default theme few days ago. Now I'm gonna try the new one.
[G1 Android Development] Sheldonjace:
I was just running the default them and 2.8 ext last night and it worked beautifully!

This is probably one of the smoothest/quickest builds I've ran in awhile and seriously thought about keeping it because of the 3 screens, lock screen, and overall stability but I switched back to Cyanogen for now just because I like the ability to view my SD ext4 partition space in Settings > SD card and Phone Storage area.

Other than that this is an AMAZING Rom and hats off to the Chef :)
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
I'm working on porting the settings app from cyanogens latest and greatest, but I am giving myself a few "hack me" lessons with smali first. I'm looking at java in jasmine syntax with c, c++, assembly, html knowledge.... which is like reading Italian cause you know Spanish. I'm tryin to learn some java so I can appreciate smali more, but "simple things like making the date white on the status bar is giving me trouble.
[G1 Android Development] Ignatz Mouse:
Widgets....

Exchange...

Widgets....

Exchange...

I hate having to decide. Very nice and stable build tho. I'm staying. :)
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
My widgets are working fine (although I'm using only weather, calendar and switches).

But I like the HTC Dialer, HTC keyboard and the snappiness of the whole ROM.

I just wish I can create my own theme (more greenish one).
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
Weird, double post :|

But that gives me the opportunity to complain, unfortunately.

Widgets are behaving randomly. Once they work, the moment after any usage of LockMe widget, Toggle Widget Factory kills to core process.

And HTC Dialer, which is the main reason to stay with this build, is starting empty from time to time (no address book).

Ehhh, I wish I had the knowledge to port the Dialer to CM.
[G1 Android Development] likal:
Love your roms mate, great job.

I installed 2.8 since yesterday and so far no bugs for me

I recommend this rom to anyone who needs all the good stuff about the dream without the fancyuselessiwanttobeatthecrapoutoftheiphone goodies. It s fast fast fast !

Talking about colors... with the blue theme the date is black on black background. Apart from that it all works like a charm.

One question: is there a way to have some apps NOT installed on the SD (like we use to do with aufs) but in intmem?

Thanks again to all of you guys.
[G1 Android Development] nabzilla1990:
hero theme for this build i take no credit http://www.4shared.com/file/116766274/90629d83/souliferogersherotheme2x.html
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Use caution applying a theme not made for/from this build. You might gain/lose un/wanted features.
[G1 Android Development] bittermormon:
I installed it this morning and so far so good, but its still early.
[G1 Android Development] setzer715:
I have this same problem. Its completely random. I have to hit menu and then contacts or call log.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Hmm.. Ill check my permissions. All that changed between dialer and contacts was the artwork. Try runnin fixperm from terminal, see what happens.

Edit)

Actually I've noticed a performance change since switching to .29 kernel from cyanogen ang squashfs from cramfs. I'm not sure if its the kernel or compression method but I'm gonna be doin some tests and might upload a version 2.8a/b with different setups and see if we can get more performance. I'm runnin the .29 kernel and squashfs on "my" ion build right now and its flying, not sure why its reacting different with rogers. Maybe the change is making the dialer hesitate a sec before its loading. I got a hesitation going back to homescreen for the first time ever in the build after 2.8 I need to find the cause.
[G1 Android Development] aifllow:
I can't find Download Address 55555
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Thats the smartdial I mentioned a page or 2 back I have not had that problem since running swap seems to fix that just along time for it to load first time around. However I have seen a issue my mail has stopped coming in on 2 diffrent occasions now the mail will say refreshing but it never refreshes I have to stop and hit refresh before it comes back in. This is on 2.8
[G1 Android Development] QBANIN:
I've noticed that slow dialer, home, or app list reloading is due to low system memory. If you run some large program, system has to kill/close unused processes to free memory (dialer, home etc). When you go back to home system has to load everything again. Solution for this problem is installation of Swapper, it's slower then RAM, but doesn't force system to kill unused applications/processes. I recommend swap size 128MB and swappiness 80.

Now... i've discovered an issue with ringtones. I'm using customised ringtones for few people, and it's fine for a while (an hour maybe...). After this period, when some of that people calls me, system plays default ringtone instead of the ringtone assigned to that person. :(
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Those swap settings will only cause problems.. U should not go over 32mb for swap size with a swappiness of 20 is ideal 10 works for some also but anything more then 32mb swap size will cause undue lag and multiple problems after time this has been covered discussed and tested.
[G1 Android Development] QBANIN:
I've runned my own test and I think that parameters mentioned by me before are the best for Rogers ROMs, but you must have class 6 sd card.
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Well im not gonna argue with you everyone is entitled to there own opinions so thats yours.

If anyone is having issues try running 32mb swap partition with 20 swappiness I have absolutely no slow smartdial issues and all my custom ringtones work perfect and 0 lag only issue I have is the mail stops updating and I had one random reboot but everything else is flawless. I have had the mail issue before on other Rogers roms.

To setup swap u can do it a couple ways. Remember feel free to adjust settings to your likings.

The safe way isolating a certain sector of your sd card to ensure no corruption elsewhere

Or u can use swapper still perfectly safe just be sure to make regular backups of your sd.

[G1 Android Development] bizz3d:
tested both Ion v1.1 and Rogers v2.8

First off great Faqn job its exactly what ive been looking for. HTC look alike with Ion or Rogers speed.

I tested them both and although i like the Ion build for its speed i love the Rogers one better for all its modifications. The theme with HTC features is awesome.

Im currently on the Rogers build v2.8 and im having some issues with email showing Chinese characters. Anybody else? is there a fix or should i reflash? Also can i flash to the Ion instead speed (my experience) and load your Rogers Blueonic theme? and look exactly like the Rogers v2.8? if so im all over it.
[G1 Android Development] tempestx:
mail app not always updating

I can confirm that after a reboot on 2.8, as long as I run the mail app, i will get push mail from exchange server. If I don't run the mail app or if it gets shut down from the background processes I lose the push updates. I check it every so often just to make sure.

Gmail app auto syncs flawless.

Great build all around though - keep up the great work guys!
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
check your locale for the chinese stuff, i only use gmail so i cant confirm the issue (if its not something dumb ill look into it though). eventually ion is gonna be even with rogers in the sense that all themes will be ported, and all modifications will be the "same" (for the most part they already are) obviously without the htc stuff. cant wait till stericson ports htc's dialer, when he does it'll be in ion too. im messin with JF's ADP1.51 too but i didnt upload it cause i thought it was too close to cyanogens, but in retrospect his is aosp based so maybe ill upload that build too.

theres a lot of stuff goin on behind the scenes, when i get a chance i upload what im doin (most of it).

dont mix themes, if it says for rogers, its only for rogers.

lets see if the update fixes this.... is there anyone coming from another rogers build that can confirm this is a specific problem to this build
[G1 Android Development] bizz3d:
Thanks for the reply, i did check the Local before and once again to make sure since you suggested it. The existing email in my inbox was still in Chinese. I forward it to my gmail to double check and still coming in with Chinese characters. The email came from EVGA graphics cards. Its one of 2 that i have received this way. Others seem to come in normal English. ill keep an eye out for any others and report back.

THEME: Dont mix? your file or thread didnt specify or i missed the message. Is Soulife.blueonic.theme.v2.x only for rogers? and not for Ion or any other build?

oops, :confused:

just noticed that the download page reads (Rogers.blueonic.them) and the downloaded file reads (soulife.blueonic.them) :p sorry i got corn fuzed.

hopefully the update will fix my issues not really a concern for me since it hasn't been any clients as of yet. just thought you should know.

Cant say it enough thank you so much for this, its exactly what ive been looking for. Keep up the great work.
[G1 Android Development] TutoWRM:
sweet...

congrats soulife, this rom it's awesome, quite fast, and stable. been running for a day and even the battery life looks like it's improved. thanks a lot.

i'm gonna stay with this for some time.

i haven't had any force close yet.
[G1 Android Development] EZ14U2NV:
lovin it!!!!

Soulife you are the man in cade you dont hear it enough! i have used 10 to 15 roms id say and i love this one the most! so fast and the dialer is sweet!

i need to find out how to get the app drawer from your theme to my original

rogers theme.

i cant wait for auto rotate home with 5 screens and htc music/pictures apps hopefully! good luck man and thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Ignatz Mouse:
So, are there other themes available for this build?

I do have a little feedback on the blueionic theme-- little stuff:

- the pulldown bar, the date is black on dark

- the menus are a bit too dark too read easily

Overall I like it a lot, though. I especially like the icon set.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Kinda hit a wall making the status bar date white, I'm sure I can do it but my time at a computer is limited, once I can sit and get lost in smali again we can have a white date. I'm sure if I asked stericson he'd point me in the right direction, but he's busy doing better things. Ill get it, I just need the spare time.
[G1 Android Development] Ignatz Mouse:
No sweat, it's a little thing. I really appreciate the work you've put it.
[G1 Android Development] Jak Crow:
I'm running into a problem with 2.8. The Superuser Request never completely comes up when an app that needs root asks for it. It sits at a blank window. Tried it will multiple root needed apps and have rebooted several times.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
so I'm confused after flashing this rom I have 52mb free with no apps other than the preinstalled but it's supposed to have auto apps2sd like cyan has which is what I was running on my other g1. so do I need to run the apps2sd to get the full space?
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Dalvik-cache stays internal. Run "ext" from terminal to check sd available space. Ill probably include a script so you can execute it and reboot and dalvik is on the sdcard again.
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
As this is my favorite build I can not wait till the widget and HTC Dialer case will be solved.

It would be also nice if some1 made a theme or two to improve the feel but it is not a priority.

Soulife - I'm keeping my fingers crossed to see your updated build soon.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
wipe before flashing
[G1 Android Development] markuman:
yeah, realy nice build! thx.

but to unlock the screen...its to easy! just hit the menu botton and you can do an emergency call in your pants pocket accidentally...
[G1 Android Development] setzer715:
Its the same unlock since the phone originally launched. Hitting the menu twice unlocks it so you can pocket call anyone. Hitting it once, no you cannot make an emergency call.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
haha, i didnt even wanna touch that. thanks for being helpful setzer.

giving the benefit of the doubt...

the .27 kernel would sometimes make the phone really sleep. seems like you'd have to hit the button 3 or 4 times to get the unlock screen. thats what started cyanogen making the .29 kernel i believe.. the whole "coma" issue where some people's phones wouldn't wake up at all. there will be an a/b version of 2.8 out soon so people can weigh out what they think is more responsive. if you really wanna see the difference flash back to 2.7. personally i think the .27 kernel is better for rogers but ill let the people decide in the next update...(.27 didnt have random reboots during "intense" activity[kernel panic])
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
Heh, I would really like to see someone ported the 2.6.30 Kernel.

It has really great improvement over task handling and boot-up time is improved significantly (at least at my openSUSE workstation :D).

Can not wait till new Soulife Rogers will be released :D
[G1 Android Development] Jak Crow:
Always do.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Just flashed and its ok for me. Went to terminal, typed su, and it popped up like it was meant to. After I upload an ion fix its back to rogers this week so ill look at why its not workin for you.
[G1 Android Development] dashed:
I hate to be a noob, but I just flashed the regular build and my calendar widget is the same as the google one. Is the HTC widget the same? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] neo21:
this rom is great...love the dialer, the speed and the default rogers theme ;-)

can you tell me whats in the international update? i installed it (continental europe) but i dont see any difference to prior the update...your rom worked fine (including locale/translations) out of the box, so whats the deal?

whats in the resources package? maybe it would be a good idea to add some info to the download section (eg as a comment at dropio or so)...thanks.

keep up the good work :)
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Resources is ringtones and stuff, how to use it is in the original post, I think its number 2 at the top (people don't read aparently. Lol) international update is also in original post right before description for resources.zip. its basically keyboard layouts, cime, etc. If you working without it then you don't need to flash it. I uploaded it just in case, I'm in the usa so I can't test overseas phones.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
So I've been switching back and forth between your build and Ramjet I like Ramjet because of it's app tray transparency and it's fast and it has 89mb like yours but when I have 60 apps it says I'm only using 3-5mb of Internal. But it doesn't seem stable for me I'm constantly getting restarts and bootloops for no reason.

Now when I use yours it's blazing fast and it's rather stable but yours says I have 51mb/89mb free and I have the same apps did I do something wrong?

and then after doing a restore from backup from root I have 28mb free. Then I start to notice lag, now granted I have a 4gb class 2 card in this one but it has ran fine on Cy362-365 almost no lag but when I put Rogers on it It seems to lag a little on Ramjet and yours Ramjet much longer though. (I even used the same sd for HERO when I had it on my other phone)
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Dalvik cache stays internal on this build. I'm workin on a script to give the user an option if they want it on sd instead. I did this because when I tried it on my phone it seemed to respond faster and wasn't as hot.
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
Overclock is bad idea, this rom doesn't need overclock.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
oh it doesn't on Ramjet or Cy? Also, I used the extended and the regular now I'm using the regular because I can't stand the HTC sound, that shouldn't make a difference in speed nor space right?
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
Clock doesn't need high like that. Waste battery, The phone sometime shutdown.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
I hate the boot sound too.. from terminal..

su

rwsystem

rm /system/media/boot.mp3

No reason to settle for less, this removes the sound.

Also, its not constantly overclocked. And if you went to rogers store in canada and bought a phone it comes with max cpu at 528. So HTC felt it was a good idea. The reboot issue will be fixed in next update.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
ok I just got a bootloop from using Backup for Root I think what I did was I setup my home screens like I wanted them on Ramjet and then backed up the all app, app data, data not sys, and then settings and alarms I restored the settings first, then the data not sys, then the app data, then all app and when I rebooted to get it to show my background and folders and such it looped. What happened?
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
I stopped using backup for root because of stuff like that. Something that got backed up don't mix. Its a good tool. But best for one google build to another.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Can't you just make a nandroid backup and then fastboot the userdata.img?
[G1 Android Development] setzer715:
fastbooting userdata between 2 different builds will cause bootloop and if your lucky enough to boot you'll have constant force closes.

EDIT: Think of it this way, fastbooting data.img is in fact puting the info you wiped back on the phone and we all know what happens if you dont wipe before build changes!
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Well I think it would still work if you're coming from the same based ROM. Like a ROGers to a ROGERS.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Depends on the cooks really, and what they've done. a page back boot looped using backup for root coming from ramjet.
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Fair enough. Do you have a twitter by any chance? :p
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Nah, I'm not cool enough for twitter. I should register one though.
[G1 Android Development] maleman876:
2.8 is good so far, just need the voice stuff put back in.

will that enable voice capabilities in application that use it? for instance babbler has a voice capability for setting facebook status, but it doesnt work on this build. will 2.9 with voice search take care of it?
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
i donno youll have to try when i upload it. there will be 2 different versions with 2 different kernels and compression methods. so far i have voice search, a working sms led notification (i need ya'll to help me test, but so far so good). and i think i might have found what is making the widgets act up, and it explains why every rogers build built off haykuros release suffers from it. i was planing on having an update out today but i had a tooth pulled and im a little more bent off the vicodin than i thought id be. at least today wasnt lost... i got 2 versions prepped, working sms/mms led, maybe a widget cure, and a speed boost. ill share it as soon as its ready.
[G1 Android Development] maleman876:
ill be happy to test as soon as its online! thanks for the work you do
