[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
I'm currently on Soulife's Ion Remix v1.0 and I'm very happy with the speed, and reasonably happy with stability/force closes. I'm not a prolific flasher (oo-er!) but I've tried a few ROMs (JF1.5/Ion R1/R2/Soulife Ion v1.0) and this is the best so far.

I keep on reading how Cyanogen is the fastest and most stable ROM around, and I'm getting tempted to try it, IF it's better than the ROM i'm currently on. I don't have much time at the moment to keep wiping and reinstallling apps etc, so I don't want to do this if there isn't a stability or speed improvement over Ion Remix.

Has anyone tried both? Can you give me your opinion which is better?

I don't use apps2sd (mainly because its another hassle i don't want). One thing I do want is the HTC_IME Touch Input keyboard, which doesn't seem to work for me on Ion Remix, so I guess this is another reason for me to change.

Any advice? Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
I haven't used Soulife, so maybe you don't want my opinion. It's the internet though, so I'm giving my $0.02 anyway. :)

I don't think anyone, Google included, is pushing Android as close to the limits of how well it can run as Cyanogen is. You don't need to be a prolific flasher either - Stick with his stable build, update when he releases a new stable. Right now that's 3.6.5, and it has been rock solid in my experience (and the majority of the users posting over in development)

apps2sd isn't required - I ran without it for awhile, switched to it when I got my new card. No real difference, other than storage space available.

HTC IME is included and runs fine.

Cyanogens rom is the fastest out there period. Also when upgrading from a previous versin of his rom to a newer one there is no need to wipe, so you don't need to reinstall all your apps.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukekirstein:
Cyan runs the performance-related parts of ION that make it so fast, so at this point, it's already fast enough as ION. There are a lot of different things he does to his Kernal that makes it faster, along with tweaks to different apps to make them run faster as well. What you hear is true :]
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
To be fair, if you read through Cyanogen's update thread ... It sounds like he hasn't really found much from ION that tweaks performance. ION's speed just comes from it being a real clean build of Android without lots of extras. Cyanogen's speed tweaks are mostly his own, with some patches from the cupcake and donut branches that haven't made it into the OTA releases.

switch to CM 3.6.5

I just did the switch a couple of days ago and I was also stand offish about apps2sd but I found the thread on how to do it in terminal emulator. It was extremely easier than I thought. The rom does the rest for you. I am constantly suprised how fast and user friendly the rom is. I even overlayed tehseano&moonsspoon hero theme over it with no problems. I am going to stay with this until I know something is better.

Just update your recovery image to 1.3.1 and then do the Nandroid backup. Run which ever rom you want and then if you use the 1.3.1 you can just reflash right back without much of any effort. ;)

Of course you can if you want to use your PC and do the Nandroid rebuild, but thats so last month. :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmfc187:
Heres my two cents for ya...I was put off to try apps2sd as well, figuring the same, that id hafta keep redoing everything andf messing it up and starting over...not the way it went down, dude. Not at all. I was coming from the dudes 1.3RC1 to cyanogens...i updated to cyanogen's recovery, then installed CM3.6. I booted into recovery, ran A2sd (ctl+m) and when i rebooted it was all done. I never wiped, and for the first day i had a battery glitch where it didnt wanna hold a charge very long, but after i let it charge overnight it stopped and have not had a problem in the world since. And Im still on CM3.6, also not a "prolific flasher", and i plan on staying right where im at until somebody puts out something (personally) worth flashing again. Cyanogen is controlling the "market" right now, in case noone's noticed all the ROM threads stamped with "CYANOGENIZED". His is definitely the way to go, almost all the other roms out there are somewhat based off of, or including something from his. And its not a pain in the ass like you think as long as you pay attention and make sure all your bases are covered. BACKUP YOUR STUFF!!! just in case...

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulife:
honestly

I did a lot of comparisons on ion and byte for byte, every binary except debuggerd is identical as adp1.51 or crb43 and the only difference is the compiled time, it looks like ions debuggerd was compiled 4 minutes earlier than adp1.51's. Same thing for all the library's, only difference is libreference-ril.so which I assume has something to do with it coming from sapphire. However, there is like 6 or 7 binarys excluded from ion (I'm not at my pc so I can't tell you which ones off my head). So if you ever hear this build has dalvikvm from ion for speed you can laugh cause its identicall to the one on a stock g1.

The ion remix v1 and 1.1 is using A LOT of cyanogens goodness, I can do this cause its all google based. What you are gaining by using cyanogens is whatever new is introduced in aosp revision 2. I'm running an unreleased beta 1.2 with cyanogens .29 kernel and squashfs and it flys. You can compare his description to mine (will be updated with 1.2) but your getting a lot of the same stuff.

Take advantage of cyanogens pimped out recovery. You can backup your phone, wipe and flash and if your not happy just restore it like you never left. Take advantage of advancement. Try some other builds out to measure your likes. Just not hero, its evil.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superken7:
Hello, I have an original ADP1, updated to the latest official HTC images

I have:

radio: ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip*

recovery: signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-148830.zip*

I want to be able to install other ROMs, like the ones offered in "Android Development".

There are a lot of guides out there on how to do that, my problem is that I want to do a nandroid backup first, before doing any flashing.

For doing a nandroid backup, I understand that I either

1) need to flash a special recovery image so I don't need a PC to restore the backup,

OR

2) Have busybox installed, and run nandroid.sh from recovery mode.

Correct so far?

I wanted to go with option 2), since I can perform a backup before flashing anything on my device.

The only problem is that I don't have busybox installed.

I have seen a busybox build (over here http://benno.id.au/blog/2007/11/14/android-busybox ) which is 1.8MB because it is presumably compiled against libC, and have read here that jesusFreke was building one with bionic.

Is the bionic version anywhere to download? I suspect its in newer roms, but I *do not* want to flash a rom just to have busybox, since i only want busybox so I can perform nandroid updates before doing any flashing.

I understand that after having busybox, I just push it into /usr/xbin, --install, and nandroid will just work?

Anyone got a download to the latest, most stable and complete busybox? I would prefer one compiled for android (linked against bionic, etc..)

(what busybox version do you guys use?)

Thanks for your help and sorry for the LONG POST! :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
I can't address most of your post, but there's a flaw in your reasoning that might make it a moot point.

Nandroid won't backup the recovery image - only the primary OS and data. So making a backup using Nandroid on your stock device won't be any different than installing a modified recovery, then backing up your device.

Really, installing the recovery is a trivial activity with little* risk of damaging your phone.

*No guarantees in life, but I wouldn't worry one bit about it. :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superken7:
Thanks for the quick answer! :-)

I guess i'll look for a recovery image that fits my needs then :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
Let me suggest Cyanogen's Recovery 1.3.1 - As far as I know, the only one with both Nandroid backup and restore. Also has USB mount, really handy for loading updates if your device is fubared and you don't have a card reader.

Grr, double post.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superken7:
Yay thanks!

I guess there are no compatibility problems between recoverys? I mean, just like you need a certain radio version in order to update the SPL, are there any compatibility requirements for that recovery? I don't see any of that in that post, but just in case.. =D

thanks again!! =D

DOUBLE KILL! erm... double post! :P
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
I'm not the only one cursed with the double posting, huh?

No, no issues with using any combination of recovery with certain ROMs, SPL, radio, etc.

You're welcome, and good luck. :)

I have changed this fix to 2 fixes for portrait only and for all resolutions (VGA, WVGA, QVGA, WQVGA).

You can decide yourself if you need them both.

If you want to remove the fixes, use the uninstall cab of the fix! Use both uninstall cabs for the old fix.

Omnia users seem to have some problems with the fix

Fix 1 includes:

Clock background changes it's size when there are appointments

Suspend-resume delay fixed

Notifications position fixed

Fix 2 includes:

SMS/email notification disappearing problem fixed

disadvantage: -> Cancel button on Pin unlock mode doesn't work (if you don't use it, it doesn't really matter), it is an older version of lockscreen

Picture (on dutch rom)

The positions of the notifications and slider can't be changed much (like to the top). It is necessary for the delay fix.

I used some parts of mindfrost82's fix. So thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sheennick123456:
are you uploading the fix???

cause there is no download :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Oweida:
?????????

Yeah , it seems we have something in common :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tommy34:
Something went wrong with the upload, now it's there ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ShadowDrake:
With the changes you made - would it be possible to replicate these changes for a VGA screen?

I stopped using the 6.5 lock screen because the SMS notifications would disappear, and there would sometimes be a delay in locking :(

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tommy34:
I think a combination of these 2, it works for qvga don't know about vga:

- moving slider to bottom (mindfrost82)

- removing the microsoft way of moving the background up when there are appointments

If vga is working, i might look into it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisd1a1:
is there an uninstall option for this? the icons are sized correctly but out of alignment. i'd rather not hard reset if possible
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tommy34:
Made some fundamental mistake here :eek:. Added tryout 2, should be better.

Try the tryout2. It is permanent even when you hardreset :D. I will add an undo cab for vga in a minute.

edit: undo cab added, it is only for VGA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] goraps:
Closer but still a little off. I am going to try to fix it myself.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] simoneser:
Can you do a WQVGA version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 7unk3r:
undo

is there a undo for qvga? it did not worked in my rom and i cant remove... tks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] goraps:
OK I have fixed the .cpr to my taste for VGA

the .txt file is my new .cpr if you want just rename it and repackage it or install tommy34's cab then overwrite with my .cpr
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mayonesa:
works on my VGA but the word slide is not over the slider... im going to use it like this for now

if it hasnt been posted i will try and post a picture...

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mayonesa:
so this will fix the slide? not being in place?

what do i do to use it, just install it or do i have to copy it to the windows folder?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] goraps:
Download the .txt file rename it to .cpr and copy it to the windows folder on your phone overwriting the current file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egoist6:
+1 for wvga.

thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisd1a1:
many thanks for the vga update. seems fine to me:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WAIKIKI728:
+1000...This is a good idea...!!!:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] goraps:
I have edited the file a little to move the notification section down a little bit. Here is the updated .cpr code

(Again if you want change it from .txt to .cpr and overwrite in the widows folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] syl2002lys:
+1

I prefer the standard display with time down (google translate forever :D)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bl@ck:
i was playing around with this fix on my blackstone and modified the 480x800 .cpr file :) feel free to test it on your WVGA device, on mine is working perfectly.

As usual, change the extension of this file to .cpr and copy it into windows folder (overwrite), maybe do a backup first ;P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tommy34:
I used your Cpr and modified it so the background now appears as one when there are appointments. Also positioned the notifications a bit closer together.

Qvga undo added

it is not fully complete will make an wvga cab with some modifications to your cpr ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] The Boss:
Hi. I wiil try your Lockscreen on my Touvh HD. It looks great. I have installed your undo.cab first and then the lockscreen.cab. I hope it works.

How did you change the date format?

On my device it's shown as "dd/mm/yyyy" and I would prefer "dd.mm.yyyy" or even better something like "<Weekday>, dd.mm.yyyy"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ricky119:
Thanks, you did a very good job

I'm using the WVGA version, I think if you would consider to make the slide bar to the middle of the screen, it's more finger friendly
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pilotxxx:
Hii

Thanks for the great work.

I'm using HD with Energyrom. i works well. but have one problem... having a big delay when i get a in call... there is a way to fix it? (it not happen with s2u2 for example).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LordDeath:
Hi,

the new mail notification is somehow too much in the middle. Also if the slider positions in the default lock screen where much more easy to use with only one hand.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tommy34:
the position is of the slider has to be there, Else the Lockscreen delay will be back!!

The notifications have to be at this position. Because if you have 2-3 or more notifications they will automatically show up beneath the first one. When you place them lower they will be placed over the slider or offscreen
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tommy34:
Probably have HTC Dialer installed. Remove this and use default windows dialer or Paul de groot 2d dialer v 1.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tommy34:
date format depends on which time zone your in ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egoist6:
i would be interested in understanding this a little bit deeper.

why does the slider's position have such an impact on the performance?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tommy34:
don't know what causes it. Think it must be something with the animations of the arrows. If you suspend-resume you can see start appear and disappear (at my device), this happens much slower with the slider at the top... and causes the slider to be untouchable.

The fix is found accidentally. If the true problem is found, the slider can be at the top again..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kille9:
I have installed the WVGA cab on my touch HD.

Glad I could help I reextracted your .cpr with the moved notifications and it works great for VGA now.

I have installed it in one samsung omnia and the screen lock changes but the lock delay is still there ...i have one rom from one cooker who made the solution with one fix...(i hope he doesn´t care you can have a look in this)but it only works for the normal screen lock...not for modifications like yours...maybe you can have a look and try to make this delay fix with your screen lock...

Thank you....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tommy34:
this fix doesn't work for me at all. It's just the original file, only some more space in the height for the clock. I can change that if you want but it doesn't solve the delay problem for me, at least at my qvga device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WAIKIKI728:
I meant that this file with the normal screen lock...at least in my samsung omnia(240x400) with rom from kuanchai from modaco...works well...and when i try to unlock it doesn´t have any delay...i only thought that maybe you could investigate what makes this file...just that...i only tried to help....otherwise...thanks for sharing your job...your wqwga file works well:) but in my omnia it still has the problem of the delaying unlock...:(

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zinu:
DO NOT download this on your Omnia. I was lucky it didn't freeze mine... in my case just nothing happened when I moved the unlock slider around.

So this fix is a no-go on the Omnia!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mindfrost82:
I'm glad someone else is working this too.

I already made a VGA version in the Raphael forum (which is where the OP got the idea).

I made a QVGA version, but I think the notification sliders are off a little bit.

Someone asked me to make a WVGA version, but I haven't had the time.

NRGZ28 changed around the lockscreen files in his ROM, and I noticed the delay was fixed. His files weren't complete and some stuff was in the wrong places, so I edited the whole thing. So far my VGA seems to be working good for everyone.

I could attempt to do a WVGA version for the HD or Omnia, but I don't have those devices to try it.

I will try to keep up with this thread as well and offer my support if needed.

Here is my original thread for the fix.

I could also try to convert my left slider one for the HD too if there's interest. It moves the slider to the left (like s2u2) instead of in the middle.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tommy34:
Yes your qvga wasn't working properly for me so i build a new one with some extra's (background size changing) which is based on your fix. But then everyone went crazy asking for the vga ;). So build that one too, thinking that your fix was fine for vga too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pandemoniumone:
Thank you for this fix Tommy, it works beautifully on my Touch HD! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HelderJr:
It seems that this fix interferes on the backlight time. I always set it to 1 minute, however after installing this fix, sometimes it changes the backlight off in only 10 seconds! Is there any registry hack to change this? I don´t know if it´s related to the Backlight off time or the settings of the Lock screen itself.

Thanks.
