You changed the views of a stubborn man. Not the fact that I know this method of dialing is archaic. I still feel that way. But regarding changing my contacts for future uses. In 1 year, I changed my area code 3 times and it was hell going in my contacts and changing the area codes to match. So, I've just added the area codes to all my contacts in gmail and called it a day. Now, the only problem I have with the ROM is that it takes forever for the contacts to appear. I'm not sure if its the blur theme or the ROM. I really don't care at this point. I'm content with what I got.

I will continue to jump in and out of this forum to keep the newbs at bay. Nothing offensive, its just it is what it is. I was once a newb about this whole "modding smart phone" thing. Not saying that I'm at the developer level, but I can definitely answer simple troubleshooting questions. Hell, I will answer 70-90% of questions right now.

1) Wipe

2) Reformat EXT 2/3

3) Wipe, again

4) Flash Rom

5) Flash Expansion Pack [Optional]

6) Reboot, enjoy

Ok, I'm done for the day, LMAO!

Seems like you don't have any ringtones in system/media/audio/ringtones for the rooted base rom, or should have at least Birdloop in system/media/audio/ringtones and the rest of the ringtones in system/sd/ringtones on the SDcard.

Try to bypass it by making a folder in the sdcard named ringtones, add one of your favorite song's and try again.

Reinstall the rooted base rom if you have a base rom installed.

Reinstall the expansion pack if you previously installed it before.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey dumbestcrayon,

Others have noted this ... When ringtones have somehow gone haywire ... If you select a "new" default ringtone in settings ... you will be able to adjust your volume w/out the FC's.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
The only thing I would suggest for those steps is to add "Boot and setup" between flash ROM and Flash Expansion Pack. It seems to help.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
I'll try that, thanks again enom
[G1 Android Development] SG_Shadow:
I think your right. That would explain why I was getting all types of setup f/c issues. I would install base and expansion at the same time. Will keep that in mind going forward. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] damnitpud:
Hey Enomther, excellent work! I wanted to let you know i I haven't had the slow contacts loading since 1.9.2 but i do experience a FC every now and then from com.android.message. I normally not doing anything but unlocking my phone from hitting Menu and the FC is there when my homescreen pops up...I skimmed the forum and didn't see anyone else having just com.android.message FCs.

I know you will ask and yes i did install the base, do the setup and then install the Expansion. I am using the TMO version of Donut, always wipe my EXT and do a data wipe from the recovery console.

It seems to be a small bug, hopefully i'm not losing texts each time it FCs.

Anyone else having this issue?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey damnitpud,

Is this the kind of "FC" where you can hit "wait" and it comes back to life? Others have noted this in relation to the advanced launcher.

Specifically when "unlocking the phone". So what you describe sounds similar.

userinit.sh to fix permissions on wpa_supplicant.conf

Hi. I am using a custom wpa_supplicant.conf but everytime I reboot I have to set the right permissions to it because wifi won't start. What kind of userinit.sh command lines do I have to put so it gets the right permissions.
[G1 Android Development] Land Of The Trill:
What files would I have to pull from the expansion pack and push to the base rooted build in order to have all the root benefits on the the base version cause I hate how its done right now with one pack and the other build is rooted can anyone help?
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
The base build is rooted if thats what you're asking. Its hard to understand your question. What exactly are you trying to get?
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
FWIW, I was getting this error when I tried to install the modified Phone.apk (from cytown). It went away when I installed enother's version (using the update.zip method).
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Since this is the 2nd time you've asked ... (but this time w/out displaying hatred toward my expansion pack .... not! ... ) ... I suppose I'll dignify you with a response.

Short answer ... almost ALL of the files in the expansion pack are required in order to gain the "root features" found after applying the expansion pack. Simplyest solution ... apply the expansion pack ... that you hate so much.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
My question is, what is it about the expansion pack that you hate so much? You don't HAVE to use the advanced launcher if thats what it is.
[G1 Android Development] maxkid86:
Could you add some apps?

I think the expansion pack is great. I was wondering on the next update could you add the loccy's browser that can work on donut now, and also a PDF viewer. I use to have all my books on my last rom, but now i just noticed this exp pack didn't have pdf viewer.

Great Stuff though...

My last question is has anyone messed with their userconf to make this any faster if so could you pm me your setting or reply here. thanks
[G1 Android Development] Land Of The Trill:
its like this guys, I don't want to flash the base build then the expansion pack over it I rather it be all in one nice signed package but don't get me wrong its your rom and your great but its personal perference which is why I would rather learn how to do it myself so I wouldn't have to ask. Its okay but I would like to flash and go cause I switch roms from time to time so rather it in one package instead of 2 but why seperate them like that I'm curious or couldn't you have just made one rooted stock rom and the other with extras instead of a pack?

Can I just put everything from the pack in the rooted base build then resign it?
[G1 Android Development] Land Of The Trill:
You can just take the apk and push them to system/app although you will need to get the lib files for PDF Viewer but should be no problem and if I knew a bit more I would do request when I'm free and even sign it for you but I hate uploading ugh
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
1.9.2 has both Loccy's browser, and HTC pdfviewer.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
PDFviewer on ADP only, mind you, so if you installed TMO, maxkid86, you'd not have that. Loccy is included with exppacks for both TMO and ADP, though.
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
I can explain this at least for a truly obsessive compulsive computer nerd such as myself, it is the lack of (total) control over your system, and this ever haunting notion that some of your internal memory is being taken up by something that you do not want there. It is like people living in your home without paying rent (and perhaps even sleeping with your wife). And I have erased them from the system/app directory, but at reboot they reappear (so please do not remind me of the obvious).

Having been open about my weird issues, I can say that I have to remind myself as to how fortunate I am that enomther is putting out such an exceptional piece of work, at no charge I must add. The issue is my own, and if I want to not have certain features, that are in reality not detracting from anything (and perhaps make the ROM better since many people do enjoy the advanced launcher), I should take the time to make my own ROM. Thank you for putting out such a great piece of work, and please do as you wish in this, because after all, it is your work that we are all lucky enough to have shared to us.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
I am very very picky and precise with my things too. I guess I just haven't noticed anything that would make it more than I want. I can say that I hate ALL T-Mobile builds because I don't want the T-Mobile software. I see no need in having MyFaves software. I know who is on my list lol. I think the HTC build is my favorite with the expansion pack. Also I use the extra features that come with the expansion pack. As far as the advanced launcher, I think that gives me nothing more than that much more control over my phone. I don't like things in my launcher that I will never use, such as apps that are only widgets but have a launcher in the menu that only opens to tell you its a widget.. So pointless, so I hide them. And its so much faster to drag an app from the drawer to the bottom tab to uninstall it rather than going through the settings and waiting on the garbage uninstaller to load every detail of every app I have on my phone. I also hate having more than 2 or 3 screens at max. I see no need in more than that. So thats why I asked the question. I would expect people to have the control over every detail lol. But, to each his own.
[G1 Android Development] caff2002:
Hi again...

and thanks again... this rom is going better and better...

One question, is possible to deactivate the APPS2SD???

Now is activated and the apps are in the SD... I want to try the performance with apps in the ram...

How to revert this and put the apps in the RAM and maybe delete the partitions, except the fat one... ?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
If you don't want apps on your SD card, delete your ext partition. It doesn't store on the RAM it stores to your phones memory which is like 91m if I remember correctly.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
caff2002,

Best procedure to go to no apps2sd ...

1) Reformat your sdcard to complete/total FAT32.

2) Boot into recovery, perform data wipe.

3) Reinstall base while in recovery.

4) Reinstall expansion pack while in recovery.

5) Reboot.

When there is no ext partition present ... apps2sd does not occur.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] damnitpud:
Yes i do get the wait or close message.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
axlastro,

I'll look into this ... what permissions are you having to set (or what commands rather do you run) ... in order to get your wpa_supplicant.conf to work on each boot?

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yup! My bad ... Dutch is not in the ADP ... misinformation on aspin's DB ... I got it updated now ... so this won't stump others.

I'm currently working on the AOSP base which should support Dutch. Hopefully I'll be able to turn that out real soon.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
If you get the wait or close choose "Wait" and it should start working. I have noticed that a lot of apps "FC" if the app isn't responding for a few seconds. If you select "Wait" it should continue.
[G1 Android Development] caff2002:
dumbestcrayon and enomther thanks...

You're right about the way to avoid apps2sd, but I would like to do it without reinstalling everything... I suposse is not possible.

Thanks anyway :)
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Hey enom,

Any news on getting the Hero Music added? I'd like to see that soon :D

No rush, just wondering.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Welcome ... reinstallation is not the only way ... but is the easiest to perform/convey, safest and most stable way.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
It's currently priority #9 on my list ... but it's on the list. ;)

[G1 Android Development] yukkio:
Amazing man! After a few wipes the cause gps not working is... my gel case!!! haha

BR.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Lol, thanks, as long as you're going to do it. ;)
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Thats kind of far fetched lol, how did you figure that out and how would it make sense?
[G1 Android Development] jonstanley2:
force closes

Noticing a trend of force closes

Advanced Launcher(process android.process.acore) force closes when u tilt phone to landscape on home screen. Does auto rotate after the force close though, however when you auto rotate back into portrait view it fc's once more.

Happens every time, anyone have any clue why??

(Also, It sometimes fc's for no apparent reason, but you hit wait and everything is normal.)

ANOTHER issue I'm having is when I receive a text when the screen is on, the notification bar seems nonreactive until screen is times out. Upon pressing menu twice it works... kinda weird, just thought Id mention.

and if Im in the text thread when I receive a text from that same person, even though im typing, the screen times out when im typing and ends up turning black. Doesnt do it when I hit menu twice and proceed to text again though.. just funny little bugs

(running htc ADP1.6 btw on mt3g 32b)
[G1 Android Development] hettbeans:
When installing the Blur donut theme, is it necessary to wipe?

Edit: I threw the Blur update onto my sdcard, tried to flash it (without wiping) and....nothing happened. Booted into Android and still had the same default 1.6 theme. Any ideas?

Edit2: This is with the TMO version, btw.
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
I had a similar issue this morning with the MMS apk (com.android.mms) and there was no "Wait" button...just the FC button. I was simply unlocking my phone to look at the screen, tried rebooting (didn't help), and I even tried re-apply the Base and Ext ROM - without wiping (didn't fix it either). Fortunately, last night I backed up my phone in Recovery and it corrected the issue.
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
You'll need the ADP version if you want to theme an ADP version.

And a T-Mo theme for T-Mo version. Make sure that's correct.

I don't know if the Blur in this thread is the same as Blur theme for CM.

I'd also make sure you have the one on page #1 just to make sure.

Oh, and you do have the Expansion Pack installed, correct?
[G1 Android Development] MrDva:
Ok I yield, I got another ROM it works great for a day then I reboot it (I did this to test it, wasn't needed).

Reboot Loop.

Boots to Lock screen, can see wallpaper icons... pops up when mounting the SD card etc...

Then right back to the Android loading screen, goes to lock screen... rinse repeat over and over and over...

Pulled SD card out... same thing... recognizes there is no SD card but still reboots.

Pulled SIM out... same thing... NO SIM message on Lock screen, but reboots

Used RAv1.2.0G to repair EXT partition... same thing, reboot loop

Repaired UID mismatches... Same Thing.

Wiped SD completely, rebuilt partitions from scratch using Gparted (ubuntu 9.04NBR)

6.42GB FAT32, 963.27MB, 133.x Linux Swap

Installed ADP-Base and EXP

Changed to Cyanogen 1.4 (don't think it was an issue but)

HBOOT-1.33.0006

Radio-2.22.19.26I

So far I just downloaded Better Terminal between installing the Base and EXP.

Rebooted a few times, working...

I'm wondering if it is an APP....

This is pretty close to what I've been running.

I don't have the expansion pack, that is probably the issue. I'll go get that.

And yes, I have TMO and TMO. I'm not that clueless.
[G1 Android Development] coredump777:
And about languages? I installed a hero rom some days ago and it had the Portuguese language. Is it possible to get those languages from Hero and get it working on G1?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
My AOSP is almost complete ... and it will contain Portuguese, along with all other android languages.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
eagerly waiting for your next release :p
[G1 Android Development] hettbeans:
Okay, I have the TMO expansion installed, but the Blur theme still will not apply. There are no changes after flashing.

I am going to try downloading it again via the phone instead of transferring over usb and see what happens.

Edit: no difference, although I didn't really expect it. A solution would really be great here. Is there any reason why not wiping would cause the theme not to flash? I am trying to avoid wiping.
[G1 Android Development] tengtou:
My g1 is having trouble flashing the exp. It gets a black screen after the android loading screen. Wiped, reformat, flashed, wiped reformat, flashed, over 5 times already. I get the same result. But when I flash base and exp with no ext partition on sd card it works. Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] bubonik:
Try a new memory card or delete the partion and then make it again.
[G1 Android Development] groucho51:
I posted earlier about the same problem when trying to apply the Hero theme, but neglected to mention that I had the base TMO without the expansion pack. I also tried to apply the gChrome theme and that didn't take either.

And I did wipe.
[G1 Android Development] hettbeans:
I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue. Hopefully there will be some sort of solution shortly. I want to use the Blur theme so I can get used to the gaudy red highlight before buying my Cliq.

Any chance of a white hero theme being developed for this rom?
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
Been stuck on the G1 screen for 15 min...

So after giving up on all the slow hero roms (might be because of my class 2 SD card) I decided to give this a go. I wiped and re formated everything and cleared all my partitions. Started out fresh with new partitions and decided to give this a flash. Well...after flashing I've now been sitting on the G1 logo screen for about 15 minutes. the longest flash ever for me was the blur hero rom. It took a half hour till it loaded the setup screen.

Now how long will this take to load, and should I be concerned?
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
Can you post a logcat?
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
Gimmie one sec. I'm trying to re-flash and see if it clears things up. Will post back in a few.
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
So no luck.... how do I post a logcat btw (still learning XD)

Should I try another rom?
[G1 Android Development] hjlow:
love the Donut ADP ROM, it runs fast and stable for me, thanks a lot
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
If you have adb going just use DDMS to get a logcat, otherwise it will be a bit of work, so lets just try something else.

Reformat your sdcard again, being sure to wipe everything, wipe the phone, then flash just the base ROM and see if this will load.
[G1 Android Development] the_chief-G1:
Is this rom support chinese?

Dose this rom support chinese?
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
Gonna try that now then
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
ok reformatted the card in windows and put the zip on it and flashed....still no go.

Gonna try cyanognes rom now.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Alucardis666,

Did you make sure you ext partition was being formatted as a "primary" ... some windows based formatting programs do not format 2nd partitions as primary, this is critical.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Post a link to it ... I'll put in a request with the theme-dev.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
Well funny thing is it was, and when I decided to call it quits after 10 minutes of staring at the g1 logo. I decided to rip the battery out and go back into the recovery and was about to flash to cyanogen's rom, and then.... I saw a ringtones folder and the zip on the card!!!!

So I assume it must be flashing if its unpacking stuff to the card. Right? I'm gonna give it a half hour. if nothing happens then I'll try cyanogens rom.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
You're going to give what a 1/2 hour ? The time to boot .. ? If that's what you mean ... that is not necessary ... anything longer than 5 minutes ... is a def sign something is wrong.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] hettbeans:
enom, do you have any idea why I can't install the Blur theme? I have the Tmo rom and expansion installed, but the theme won't flash - it finishes installing, I reboot, and there's no changes.
[G1 Android Development] cloverdale:
Since I run Linux, I was unaware that Paragon (or other windows programs) do not format the Linux partition as primary. As enomther said, be sure to make sure your EXT is primary (as should be the FAT32). It can take a long time, so be patient, but anything more than 15 minutes is too long.
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
Alright then what are my options?! :-p
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Options ?

Well how about you start by isolating the problem ... I'm about 99% sure it's your sdcard ... that said ...

1) Reboot into recovery.

2) Perform data wipe.

3) Flash the base ROM.

4) Without rebooting, immediately flash the expansion pack.

5) Remove your sdcard and reboot.

If it boots up w/no problems ... then you know you have an sdcard and/or partition formatting issue.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
I'll give it a shot.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
WTF Man!?!?!?!

What is this about ? and why is it in my thread? ...

Claim mistake ... edit your post and remove ... and I'll forgive... if not .... dude I'll be forced to let a MOD know.

EDIT: OK ....... that was WIERD!!!!!!!!!!!! a post just disappeared.

This is really not good....
[G1 Android Development] tengtou:
Tried a new mem card, tried deleting then remaking partition. Still a no go.
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
It stays at the G1/Mytouch logo for a while. Give it at least 5 minutes, it's doing things. If you're really nervous and have ADB, you can always do logcat to see what's going on while it boots. But don't do ADB logcat right away, give it a minute or two because I find that it will not boot if I do ADB logcat right away. It just shows "waiting for device" forever.
[G1 Android Development] tengtou:
Im starting to think that there a defective G1's that were made :). My mytouch takes roms so much better than my G1. G1 gives me too much trouble.

You mind typing out all steps and commands you use to flash?
[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
went into A-mons recovery, did a wipe did a wipe of the ext, did a partion to to fat 32 did another wipe did a partion to the 3 way part, did a repair of ext did a an upgrade from ext2 to ext 3 and then repaired it again then did my flash then reboot
[G1 Android Development] hettbeans:
Hate to be pushy enom but an acknowledgement either way would be nice. Can I get some sort of response to my problem?
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
How are you formating your ext partition? I flashed a ton of ROM's w/o any problem but found the Donut ROM's to be more "picky". I tried UBUNTU several times w/o any luck - I switched to the upgraded recovery with the built-in partioning (RA-dream-v1.2.2), and it loaded right up
