[G1 Apps and Games] rushless:
Speaking of 3D- Big catch 22 with 3d on Android.

1. Almost all of install base of phones has low app memory

2. 3d games will be north of 10 megs

3. Apps2sd does not help, since only a few percent of install base will root phone to get apps2sd

4. Any dev with money support know this so will not invest in making 3d games for a constrained (app memory) market.

5. Until if ever an official apps2sd version of the OS is released, 3D will be limited for games support unless for root crowd.

I thought we would see more apps like Doom that puts most of the app on sd card, but most apps commit sales suicide and make big size non sd apps.

Note that none of the phones releasing this year have much memory either.
[G1 Apps and Games] shagrath78:
I agree (latest tiger woods game weighs 150 Mb on iPhone !), and a bigger market share could also help :p

And I don't know if android programming model allows for impressive games as well; I've yet to see one 3D game, even basic, with fast graphics and no lag on Android market (except the neocore demo, written entirely in native code)
[G1 Apps and Games] Areyo:
Maybe the 3D Game/App can store files on the sd card similar to how the Doom port was.

Oops I didn't read what you said about sd cards
[G1 Apps and Games] phanaks:
doom doesnt require root or apps to sd so it is entirely possible that other 3d games could be developed that use the fat32 part of the sd card just fine.

i just played a sweet 3d horror game on the droid called "Mystique"

And its under 2mb

check this one out guys. Its a must have.
[G1 Apps and Games] Frito37:
Hmm, 10mb limit sucks.

Well it still has the possibly of a more simple 3d game.
[G1 Apps and Games] nEx.Software:
There isn't a 10 MB Limit as far as I am aware. It's just that people won't install it to their limited memory devices. If you store all of your assets to the SD Card, however, you can keep the code base small and still have a rich 3D game. Only problem is keeping those assets safe on the SD (probably some encryption/compression to do this).

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
search "avi" on the market. I just did, about 5-8 apps popped about but they're all low rated. You can try to convert the avi movies to another format.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiva_Shaan_5:
tcmp or dviplayer can be used... a search can help you to find one

I used this software converting a few movies and it worked great. Just download Video Player in the market and it will find the videos on your SD card. It may even play avi, but I just convert everything to H264

Hi there,

since yesterday i have issues with my scrollwheel. Often when I activate the Screen, the buttons are flashing like someone hits the scrollweel down. If I play with the wheel, it momentanously stops but continues some minutes later.

As I dont want to send the phone in for another 4 Weeks (As for the scrollwheelrubber) and as i never use the wheel:

Are there any possibillities to just deactivate the wheel by some regestryhacks or so?

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
If I were you I'd stick with JF and flash the hero theme by tehseano, found in the dream themes+ wallpapers forum. Or you can always change to cyanogen's 3.6.1 which is amazing and flash the hero theme too. For the spl + radio for hero, make sure you flash the radio and then the spl.

How to Partition the SD card for Apps2SD without using a PC. It's simple and easy. All you need is a Class 4 or Class 6 SD card.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3582509&postcount=52

If you have an 8GB SD card go with 7.5 FAT32 and 500MB is plenty of room for EXT3 files.

Next update the Recovery image.

Save "cm-recovery-1.3.img" onto your SD card from

http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/cm-recovery-1.3.img

Then open "terminal Emulator" program.

Then

su (Press arrow enter key)

flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.3.img (Press arrow enter key)

reboot (Press arrow enter key)

Then load The greatest OS

Dude's unreleased rom (coming Monday I believe) will have a tweaked Hero theme which already existed in Dude 1.3RC2. Very fast, has some nice additions and the Hero theme on default but the latest version is not released yet...

As alritewhadeva mentioned you could use Cyanogen's superb ROM and flash the Hero theme on that. Its been mentioned already but this piece of advice never hurts to repeat - Flash the Radio first before the SPL if you are upgrading.

I tried to update to the 2.33 jachero rom got a bootloop

tried an older version got a bootloop

tried the dudes build got a bootloop

i then used and old sdcard from my sidekick and i got on the dudes build

i tried to use apps2sd on the stock 1gb card which i previously already had and it said i didnt have a partition on it which i did previously so it set it up and rebooted into a bootloop

is this a bad sd card?
[G1 General] jj71787:

Is it trying to move the /data to the sd? If it is, that would be the issue, Least it was for me when I went to 1.51

sorry havent been on here in awhile been on vacation

i tried upgrading to jacshero2.3 at the time and i just got a constant bootloop nothing would happen so i took an old sdcard from my sidekick lx and put back on the dudes build and it worked but i cant reboot the phone from the sd card i tried to install hero on it will bootloop.

also i lost appstosd nothing saves to the sd but if i open partion manager it says i still have ext2.

and if i use appstosd it says i have to partition my sd card and if i try it the phone reboots and bootloops
[G1 General] Mysticales:
Yea sounds like you need to redo the sd card.. Id just save the apps and apps-private folder and wipe the rest. Then put the apps and apps-private back on after you wiped the card then relink them.

is it a simple copy and paste

it started up today wit the sd card so ill reformat it

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] christopherwoods:
I've been flashing a fair few ROMs in the past week or so, and I've come to the realisation that I like two ROMs more than any others: Josh's M2DLite, and CRC's 13.4 release.

Frustratingly, there's just a couple of things wrong with each release that leave me stuck and unable to choose between them... I have a couple of recurring problems with Manila 2D (it sometimes crashes out when I try to load an email which is accessed through the Seven.com system, and I can't change the clock to be a digital clock instead of analogue hands). There's also some remaining small problems with memory usage, plus for some reason my install of M2DLite stopped allowing me to install new CABs ("installation unsuccessful").

By contrast, CRC's 13.4 release is almost perfect - the stock, basic WM Today screen, with a lovely plain black theme. It has Device Update and a load of nice extras. However, it doesn't ship with the option to install and run M2D (the more I used it, the more I slowly came to like it).

As a result, I feel like I'm 90% close to finding the perfect ROM. I hate all the ROMs with gaudy themes or colour presets, but frustratingly some of those ROMs look quite appealing, aside from those annoying customisations. I'm really at a loss as to which ROM is ideal for the person who prefers the minimalist, discreet look, but wants all the regular stuff like 3G dialer, HSDPA, Internet Sharing and MMS to work without a hitch.

What ROM have you guys settled on? Did you try loads, but then find one which you think is perfect (maybe after a little bit of customisation)? I'd love to hear your thoughts. WM6, WM6.1 and WM6.5 ROMs are all eligibile. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boog:
All of the reasons you stated, is exactly why I started cooking my own. I always found things I disliked about every rom I flashed.

utak3r released his darkvisions 4 kitchen, and it is a very nice base to build on for 6.1.

With your own rom, you can have your cake and eat it too, after a bit of trial and error.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] christopherwoods:
That was something else I was contemplating... I have pretty much no idea where to start with cooking my own from a kitchen; you say utak3r's DV4 is a good base? I considered trying one of his ROMs but didn't like some of the modifications he'd done (naff-looking dialer, etc)

How long did it take until you got to where you wanted to be with your own custom ROM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boog:
At first I felt like I was never going to get there! lol

I'm still playing with things and tweaking little things, I'm not the pro like the other guys here, so it takes me a bit longer. But I'll just to little changes and flash it to the phone, too many big changes at once makes it tough to troubleshoot a problem.

I'm back to tweaking and testing on utak3r's kitchen, I have a kitchen from josh all set up the way I want it, but, cooking is addictive.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
That's what this kitchen is for :D You can select your own desired apps (and the dialer, too).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] christopherwoods:
Ooo, interesting... So, what does one need to download and install (aside from the kitchen) to get set up and cook with one of your kitchens?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
Nothing - it contains all you need :) Maybe .Net and some runtimes - but you could have it already...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] christopherwoods:
Ah, I tried your kitchen - there's some nice stuff in there, but unfortunately no Connection Setup (had to configure manually but I knew the data connection settings anyway). I did notice that the Contacts softkey was labeled as Kontakty, even though I'd made sure NOT to select the PL language option...

Aside from that, it was a pretty nice way to quickly customise ROM options. What's the best way to cook in new CABs? I noticed a lot of stuff in the OEM folder, but as well as what looked like the installed contents of CABs I saw a lot of other custom configuration files...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boog:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
true - although one have to keep in mind it doesn't work in some cases! It's a good starting point, but sometimes you have to manually create proper rgus and initflashfiles.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boog:
You are right! I am about to attempt to see if I can edit/create one of my own. I wan't to see if I can make it work before I start asking for help on it though. :)

I have one program that won't properly make an oem with either of those programs. It's close, but missing something.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] utak3r:
Check the files installed (including all the links) and check carefully the registry. I strongly advice you to use CeRegEditor, the best PPC registry editor on PC that exists (Polish product :) ) - you can make an image of the reg before installing it and compare it after - that way you can have all the registry changes were made.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] necrolytic:
Hello I am Necrolytic, a grindcore musician and graphic artist from Northern CA. I have been lurking here for over 9 months and just registered a month or so ago.... post one ha.

I run Josh's V15 M2D after seriously smashing through every rom 6.1 or higher on the top 4 pages, if not for one reason... It came loaded with crap and it actually works. In my short but insightful adventures with WinMo Roms I have found that bloated Roms are usually unstable or sluggish on my Hermes...a complete fail.

I ripped quite a few ROMS apart, checking to see what actually made the roms different or "better" from one another. Learning through reverse engineering and tinkering.

Skinning a common build and auto installing your own bloated playlist of .cab files shouldn't be considered Rom Cooking... that is just how I feel. I mean at least do something creative with the htchome coding and/or exclusive features... something.

.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boog:
Hello, and welcome to the forum!

Not sure if your directing your comment toward the op, or someone else. But that's kinda the way the thread is going. Leading someone towards the path of cooking their own rom.

There will be more for him to do than load a playlist of cabs!

There are all those little settings you like to have. All the programs you want, cooked in, not installed via cab, they will be there no matter what. Any theme you want, and today plugins you want, and in any order you want on the today screen. You can add/remove anything you want.

That's what most of the custom roms on this site are, the rom that the cook runs on their own phone (for the most part). Some cooks are doing custom roms for the community, but I bet they run that rom, or their own cooked variant.

I'm also hoping this thread will inspire more flashers to become cooks, maybe even you!

I am by no means a pro in the kitchen, I don't want to make it sound like I am. But I am getting by, and I love the roms I have cooked. If you think testing all the roms on the site is addictive, just wait till you cook a few roms, and debug, change settings, and cook those settings back into your own rom! then you'll really be hooked. I have been tempted to pick up a second hermes just for cooking and testing! haha

Hi all,

Following in the footsteps of coolbho3000 I've run all the Rosie widgets from JacHero 2.3.3 through optipng and recompressed them using 7zip's -mx9 option for maximum compression.

File Sizes:

Total:

6.2Mb -> 5.5Mb

As you can see there isn't much difference but what the hell, every little helps

just adb push to /data/app_s

or if you want to replace them all

for file in *.apk
do
adb push "$file" /data/app_s
done

Download:

[G1 Android Development] UnkzDomain:
hmm.. Would it take MORE processing power to decompress an apk at a higher compression level though? Wouldn't it be best to optimize all PNGs and then keep the apk's at a LOW but FAST compression level?
[G1 Android Development] woozieg:
Yeah i was thinking about that, at the moment it seams like the limiting factor on the G1 is ram, not processor speed. So there will be some more overhead when decompressing the files but it might be offset by the very small increase in free memory.
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Just like the optimized rosie, which I tested, doing this adds lag to the system. Honestly for 1 MB of space is it really worth adding 5 - 10 seconds more load time to the app?
[G1 Android Development] ivanmmj:
When you uncompress the file, it takes just as much RAM. But it's nice to see people working on optimizing the various parts of Hero.
[G1 Android Development] UnkzDomain:
Yeah, they seem to be optimized for space, not speed. I think that it would be faster if they were compressed at the LOWEST possible compression as it would decompress faster.
[G1 Android Development] bex:
Can these widgets be used on a stock ION / Magic or must they be installed on the custom rom JACHero 2.3.3 only?
[G1 Android Development] jdwme:
I just finished doing this, didn't hit every single png in the build, but most of them, all the ones out of the largest apk's for sure, got the update down to 79.1 mb, also was able to resave the wallpapers at medium quality, as suggested by manup, but haven't tried it out yet.
