Hi ahampton82,

I do not tweet ... I'm a lil anti-twitter is all (maybe it's my age, ... I dunno ... :rolleyes: )

But ... you can follow @AndroidSPIN ... they tweet my releases.

:)

[G1 Android Development] coredump777:
Erm... Call me obtuse but I installed base and exp packs (TMO version, not adp), I have the advanced launcher, rooted environment, Wireless for Root Users... But I can't find the widgets. No flipclock or those nice little switches.

Aside from that, its a blazing fast rom and has a very good feature/bloat ratio :)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Um ... you're obtuse! ... lol .. jk ... ;)

You can obtain the widget's using expsetup ... open terminal app ...

su
expsetup

Select option #13, it will prompt for a few things ... at the widget prompt ... say yes ... and at the install prompt say yes.

Then you'll need to reboot.

That should do it.

[G1 Android Development] mrjay:
hey man,

loved your rogers ROM and now i said i give this one a try but i have one thing missing for both ROM's. why isn't the sterickson lockscreen proted to none of the themes? kind of looking forward for that.

thanks
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
Is there any PDF Viewer or File Manager, or should we just download something from the market? What is a good market PDF viewer - I have not found one that works (the ones I've had the best luck with have come with ROMs or THEMES)?

Screen timeout issue

HTC ADP-1.5 CRC1

-- Rooted-Base

----- v1.8.4 - Expansion-Pack

I am back to this configuration from ADP 1.6... Don't know if you will still maintain older code.

But I having a screen timeout issue. Not sure if I have noticed this earlier when I had this ROM

Screen timeout set to default (1 minute) actually times out even when using the phone.

Has anybody experienced this? Known way to solve this ?
[G1 Android Development] gwaltrip:
Doh!....My bad, I didn't go back far enough in the post.

Thanks, Great ROM!!!
[G1 Android Development] coredump777:
Worked wonders, thanks. Now all I have to do is figure out how to make that flipclock show my City, since it only completes with US citites...
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey mrjay,

Not sure .. about the effort involved there ... but I can tell you ... the ROM is still "very young", so we'll see what pans out man.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] mrjay:
thanks man

from my point of view it's the only thing missing for a perfect rom.

thanks for all your hard work.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
qwerty3656,

I will not include a file manager with the ROM, as too many exist on the Market ... and every1 has a preference.

I'm currently trying to get the PDFViewer going for the next release. Till then, yea you can grab one from the Market .. I have no recommendation at this point.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
anangphatak,

I don't know if I understand what you are saying 100% correctly.

But in my experience the screen will timeout under all conditions (even phone) usage in the time you specify. Did you try increasing this timeout to a more suitable value ? and it didn't change? ... is that what you are saying?

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] mykenyc:
loving your progress bro anyway i can help port that blur theme its like crack im addicted to it lol.

oh and another thing the htc ime still not working for you right will akirahs work for you.
[G1 Android Development] Jdom58:
anybody know?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yo jdom!

Suppose I missed this post earlier ... lol

Um in these builds ... you really don't need linux-swap ... so just an ext partition alone is good. (if you want apps2sd, etc) ... if you're a MT3G user ... then you really don't need any special partitioning.

I personally don't use linux-swap .... so all I have is FAT32 and ext3.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
mykenyc,

yea man ... this next release outta be real nice ... fill in the "holes" in the feature set that occurred in the donut upgrade.

As far as the blur theme ... I think beagz was attempting to gain permission from the owner and possibly port that one.

You may wanna PM him about it. If he isn't ... sure ... I'd love to get it ported. :)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] sasa3791:
exellent ROM buddy

thx

p.s.o Do you know which Bluetooth fileshare apk works here?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi sasa3791,

I have no idea man. Give as many as you can a try and post back your results! ":)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Jdom58:
Hey Enom thanks man I know I'm a pain, wife says the same thing :D

Actually I I havent used Linx either in a while but Jubeh way of partioning looked interesting and actually worked quite nicely ROM was fast using his method also, only problem with it is that all apps I downloaded were saved to internal memory not sd card. So I answered my own question. Back to fat and ext2/3 only.

Thanks again for your work and extreme patience, this one works quite well now all around.
[G1 Android Development] rialsi6:
I have bluetooth fileshare version 1.1.2 and it is working perfect.

UPDATE: Its not working anymore must have been a fluke.
[G1 Android Development] sasa3791:
This version does not work with me, but no other!!!!

Did u use "adb install -l /bluetooth.apk"?
[G1 Android Development] saprano614:
ok trying to find a myfaves.apk that will work with the htc 1.6. or does the tmo ota have it?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
So you've tried the MyFaves.apk rooted version ? And it's a no go ?

Yes the TMO build has MyFaves, but it's going to be less theme-able.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] rialsi6:
I am a complete noob, so all i can tell you is i grabbed the apk and installed it.

I sent and recieved files from my computer and my friends phone. sorry.
[G1 Android Development] mykenyc:
so tmobile builds cannot have like the blur theme ?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
It all depends on what the theme requires ..

Most commonly ... if the color of the "text" in the statusbar for time/date needs to be changed ... this is currently a no go in fully odex'd systems like TMO's. I'm still trying to find time to overcome this using JF's toolset, however, my attempts at it proved to be a great struggle. I got about 60% of the system de-odex'd and hit a roadblock.

We'll see.

So if the theme uses "black" (default) text colors in the statusbar ... it can generally be ported in a fully odex'd system.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] marty22877:
thanks for the tip on the backup, i normally just reload everything anyway.

and that's odd about the text color on fully odex'd builds and themes, why is that?
[G1 Android Development] :
does anyone have the kernel hack for this that gives you 10m ram extra while still keeping apps2sd enabled?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
ahronzomb,

This will be included in my 1.9.x release today.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] javacody:
Whoo hoo!

I wonder if Doom will still be playable?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
marty22877,

Man ... that's a long story ... but the short version goes like this ...

You can't alter even one little bit (yes bit Zero or One) in any odex file of a fully odex'd system w/out crashing it.

And the text color alterations occur mostly in the dex/odex files.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] javacody:
I just don't get this. Why would they go this route? It points more and more that Google didn't really want Android open for the end users, just for Big Companies that sell phones.

I love my android phone but even $80 chinese made MP4 players are skinnable AND have better multimedia support.
[G1 Android Development] lotherius:
visual voicemail

Anyone been unable to activate visual voicemail on the TMO build? All I get is a communication error. I know it's not included by default in the build, but it worked on previous ROMs I've used, and so I'm wondering why not on here?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
TMO may not have rebuilt it yet with the compatible Donut SDK. "yet" ... I'm sure it will come around.

Several apps will temporarily have these forms of issues.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Orion12521:
enom,

First and foremost thank you so much for you time and efforts on these ROMs. The stuff you are putting out is incredible. I've just updated to "TMO-OTA-US-DRC83-Rooted_update" and "TMO_1.6_ExpPack_v1.8.4.5". Everything seems to be running fine, until I try the widget installation. After opening the Terminal Emulator and typing su it tries to open the Super Users Permissions but I end up with a blank screen with "SU Request" at the top and/or a FC - Wait choice. Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] jouva:
Just installed the G1 1.6 rooted update, and Wireless Tether for Root Users is now reporting that it can't find netfilter :/ I guess google took it out of the kernel to prevent this with the stock kernel?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi Orion12521,

Make sure USB Debugging is turned on ....

Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging ... needs to be checked.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
jouva,

Tethering has never been in the "stock" kernel.

You must install the expansion pack to get this functionality.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] damnitpud:
I searched thru the thread and haven't found a reason or fix, but anything that has to load contacts seems to lag for a bit. anyone else figure out a reason or fix?

BTW im using ADP 1.6 1.8.4.5
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
odexing the files is an optimization that will be good for, say, 99.5% of T-Mobile Android customers (76.2% of all statistics are made up on the spot), but a side effect is that it's a dense binary object file (as I understand it). DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING IS A DISCURSIVE POINT; DO NOT ACTUALLY DO THIS. Open up explorer.exe (Linux users: /sbin/getty should have a similar effect) in a hex editor and change a bit value--I'll wait. There's a fair chance it'll crash, fail to load, or incite the robot revolution.

However, more to your point, odexing the system is T-Mobile's decision, not Google's, so your complaint would be more precisely directed at them. Even then, though, that's among the reasons the ADP build is available. If you prioritize themeability over the speed boost, by all means, use that version.

As enom says:

It's ALL about options!!!

And he even uses bold, italic, and underline, so you know he means it!

(That off-topic enough for everyone? Patiently waiting for 1.9-series to upgrade my mT3G :-)
[G1 Android Development] bubonik:
Yea im waiting also, looking forward to it.

In your build prop I noticed that the build.description is 1.5 crc1. Is that to bypass the market?

Where would I make it delete home and replace it with launcher?

Im trying to make an all inclusive rom/theme with 1 flash.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Ok ... I admit ... I "laughed out loud" ... :)

That was *mostly* true and absolutely funny.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] mrstoney:
The same thing happened to me with my G1. I reformatted my partitions using the method explained here (though, I did not create a linux swap partition).

http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/

After loading back my files from backup, I successfully installed the expansion pack
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Just trying to help. Apologies for any technical inaccuracies. I'm reading up on it now. Have you seen deodexerant?

EDIT: I also see that the format has a 32-bit checksum as a corruption check, but of course that would catch intentional changes made after optimization, too.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
LOL ...

olearyp,

It was very close to accurate ... almost everything but the robot revolution part LOL....

Yes, I've seen that tool ..... that's what I was referring to when I said "JF's toolset" .. and I got 60% and hit a roadblock. I'm definitely going to try again with the new TMO builds. :)

v1.9.1 released/posted

All,

v1.9.1 released/posted ... !

As always, read the changelog, perform your nandroid backup, flash and have fun!

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Gotcha, didn't know that JF was involved (hey, I'm late to the party, I just got here a month ago!)

Well, here goes nothing on 1.9.1! I'll let you know how I make out.
[G1 Android Development] bubonik:
5 Minute playthrough while im cooking lunch proves that .9.1 is good with the hero theme. No wipe from .8.2.

You mind answering my questions a few posts up?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea I didn't see this ... b/c you edited it ... I saw the original "Yea im waiting also, looking forward to it."

the build.prop crc1 junk is for the Market ... will change once TMO makes DRC83 mainstream.

I'm not entirely sure I know what you are referring to in you 2nd question ... do you mean ... you want to remove the default launcher and just have the (1) advanced launcher ... or what ?

[G1 Android Development] anangphatak:
Re: Screen Timeout Issue

What I am trying to say is, that the phone screen dims and then goes out (blank) at 1 minute even when I am scrolling, clicking or touching/using the screen in general. It times out correctly when screen is idle but incorrectly when screen is not idle.

I have changed timeout values and restarted the phone a few times. But the behavior persists
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey damnitpud,

Since no1 has chimed in ... and I personally haven't noticed what you are referring to ... it may be an anomaly with your setup.

Was your install "fresh" w/ newly formatted ext partitions and wiped /data??

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
yewwwww ... yea that's not normal behaviour .. and no1 else has reported such. I know I'm not experiencing that at all.

Have you attempted a clean install to try to rememdy it ?

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] bubonik:
Thats exactly what im trying to do but without a 2nd flash or adb. I noticed in the meta_inf you had this on the update script: delete SYSTEM:app/Maps.apk. Which is where I got the idea.
[G1 Android Development] scottgold:
Quick Search Contacts issue

I can't seem to find any other posts with this problem. I am running your Official HTC 1.6 build, and for some reason when I use the quick search, none of my contacts come up in the search. It pulls google, apps, and music, but no contacts. this is fresh install, and I've tried wiping and reinstalling several times, but am having the same issue. Contacts is checked in the search options. Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you
[G1 Android Development] ahampton82:
Thanks. I am now following. I don't tweet either. I just follow the devs on XDA for info and stuff.
[G1 Android Development] rialsi6:
In the changelog its says the htc_ime keyboard is a no go. Is there a chance we may get it later or is it just not going to work period.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
No easy way to do it ... you can't tamper with the "launcher" when the phone is live ... it must be installed (or reinstalled) upon startup/boot.

Thus ... either adb or another flash would be required.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
rialsi6,

Perhaps ... I'm going to give de-odex'ing another shot on the TMO builds ... this is the basic roadblock ...

We'll see how it turns out ... but basically the old HTC_IME is broken ... no two ways about it ... and the new one requires the HTC framework ... which I can't insert into a fully odex'd system like TMO's.

So it must be fully de-odex'd to even have a chance ... we'll see.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Is there anyway to use the swap partition you make? I set up a 64mb swap partiton and compcache only uses 32mb from expsetup?? No way to customize that? What about backing swap?
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
I have a G1 with T-Mobile. If I install the ADP 1.9.1 build, would it not run properly?

Also, should we install the ASAPP's (option 13)?

1.6 tmo

Does my phone have to be rooted to use this rom
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
qwerty3656,

Just like anytime you change buildss ... if you change from TMO to ADP .. you'll have to fully wipe, etc.

So if you want the ADP, you need the ADP base + expansion ... they are not interchangable.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
yes

sssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
~~Tito~~,

You can customize linux-swap vs. compcache using the expsetup command in the Terminal after you 'su'.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Yes, it does. (See Post #4). If you don't wish to root, you can find instructions to manually install the standard 1.6 for TMO on a G1 here.

Meanwhile, time to update my sig! Everything seems to be working great. I blew away my linux-swap since I saw you upped compcache on 1.9.1, and since I had done that I also blew away the ext3 partition since I have a myTouch. Had a brief wifi problem before I realized that wpa_supplicant.conf had the wrong group, so I just chmodded it 666 for now. Is that something fix_permissions can take care of? None of the groups that various files should be set to are said to exist when I chgrp.

Thanks for the hard work, enom. People, hit his tip jar!
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea .. that won't work either.

You would need to grab the advanced launcher replacement from irrenhaus' thread ... and either adb push it in recovery or install it via an update.zip.

Keep in mind this will only work on the ADP build (signed with test keys) ... not on the TMO build (signed with ota keys).

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] leomak:
thanks for the great rom enom!

i wonder whether the ram hack of 1.91 expansion pack is mandatory or optional in expsetup, and is it perfect?(not slowing down 3d games)

Edit: i guess I kinda get it....it's in vsapp kernel module right?.....i have both ram hack and MT once i install it? ( i only want MT tho)
[G1 Android Development] damnitpud:
It was a fresh install with a wipe, i even rm'd my 2nd and 3rd partition and recreated them. When i open messages i see ... for the names for a few seconds before it will populate who the texts came from...if i hit the green call button it takes quite a bit to show. When i get a phone call, it wont show who the caller is for a few seconds after the screen turns it self on. No one else is experiencing this?

I am going to wipe again and grab 1.9.1 see if that helps. I'd hate to rebuild all 3 partitions, i have a 970mb file for co-pilot on my fat32 partition. =(

help

I have a Hero. was on modaco 2.3. Wanted to go for this new Donut 1.6 rom and therefore as required tried to upgrade the radio. After flashing the new radio 22 one I checked but the version did not change then i went for the SPL and changed the name to update.zip and flashed and then the phone is stuck with the HTC logo. Cant boot in recovery mode at all. Have to take out the battery to switch it off. Please help... can I still get a card reader to put the new rom version in the SD card and try or is it gone. What should be my next step. Hope to get a solution. On checking more I now know off the PVT and DVt but I cant find that out now.
[G1 Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
I know you can set it to use the comp cache, but I want to use backing swap as well instead of linux swap so it uses the partiton I have set up like in most roms, is there no user.conf to change the settings manually? Expsetup really helps beginners but I want to go a bit more in depth ;).

Oops that's what I get for not reading all of the first post :V

Though the first post is admittedly a LITTLE cluttered. Thanks though!
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Either one; depends on what you want. There are more themes for ADP, but TMO has a little bit of optimization. ADP also has more language choices. There's a whole rundown on AndroidSPIN.

N.B.: You will almost certainly have to wipe and also clear your ext2/ext3/ext4 partition if applicable.

Given that the "HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROM" has the HTC framework, is there any way of including the Exchange ActiveSync program in it?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
~~Tito~~,

What you can do is implement your own userinit.sh script that uses a user.conf file ...

To do this ... in expsetup ... disable CompCache and linux-swap ... and then enable userinit.sh script execution at startup. (all in expsetup).

Then you have manual control over the boot process. ;)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Just reflash the base and latest expansion ... you will get "stock look" back.
