I'm finally back!!! Was out of commission there for a lil bit ...

Finally took the plunge on my primary machine and upgraded to freebsd-8.0-RC2 ... and man was worth the wait. :D ... enomther is a happy camper 2nite ...

Now back on topic ...

Yea ... it's not a kernel issue ... and I'm aware of that entry in logcat ... it's harmless and normal on my builds. ;)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Yeah, and can confirm that on a fresh install AOSP v2 is good on the mT3G (see above), so not sure what affected LadFromWales85 other than not wiping.

ALSO, BUT OT: Upgraded my Linux box to Mythbuntu 9.10 last week; other than breaking everything (newer nVidia drivers don't work with SVideo TV Out, which was a problem until my new HDTV arrived later in the week...) it's working fine. Also, VDPAU is pretty much the best thing ever, and it sounds like Flash 10.1 will support it, so Hulu will freakin' rock.

Meanwhile this laptop running Vista is happily chugging along; no plans to go to 7.
[G1 Android Development] uiterlix:
Hi,

I'm running the TMO EU build + expansion pack for a few days now. Everything is running fine, but often the phone app takes about 5 seconds to load, which is quite a long time. Anyone else experiencing this ?
[G1 Android Development] naria01:
Must say, I like this.

Does the myfaves.apk work with this build? I tried it, and get force closes... What am I doing wrong? Thank you :)
[G1 Android Development] cyberrobin:
Does anyone else has problems downloading the Loccy;s better browser, mms app, or the kernel patch? It gives a 404 - Not Found in the terminal.
[G1 Android Development] JackD3ath:
Hey Enom,

Great work! I was just curious, will you be dropping the minus theme soon? I usually modify it, and am waiting to upgrade til you repost it.

Thanks for all your hard work, keep it up! :cool:
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
I was told on Monday that t-Mobile is pushing people away from MyFaves, none of the new phones will have the MyFaves program. They're pushing people to switch to the new plans that offer unlimited mobile to mobile and data...I went ahead and switched to a new plan...believe it or not, switching reduced my bill by $45 a month and I went from 700 to 1500 Anytime minutes. Also, with the new unlimited data, I don't have to pay the extra $25 for the G1 data.

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mention that there is a $34.99 Activation charge per line (but I think it's only for the first two lines). Also, I'm only paying an extra $5 a month for a third-line.
[G1 Android Development] naria01:
Awesome. I just called and switched my plan. Saved me about 40 bucks a month, but there's a 34.99 activation fee, and once you switch to these new plans you can't go back to the tmobile faves plan, since they are phasing it out
[G1 Android Development] the_chief-G1:
I like this rom！ It's very very fast! Thank you very much,enomther .

But, can you make it support Flash and Multi-Touch?
[G1 Android Development] cigar3tte:
Has the G1 been out for more than 2 years? I'm 2 months away from finishing my first year, so I can't switch to the Even More Plus plan yet.
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
I've only had my G1 phone for 13 months and I was able to switch all three of my lines with no problems.

Is t-Mobile saying you need the phone for a year before you can switch?

There are two types of plans...1) (CONTRACTED) is the typical two-year, the monthly rated is still reduced (but not as much as option 2), and you still get the reduced phone prices when you're eligible after 22 months. Option 2 (NON-CONTRACTED) - a greatly reduced monthly rate (less than option 1 mentioned above), but you're not locked in to a one- or two-year contract; also, and this is the bad part, you have to pay full-price for the phones - no reduced rates after 22 months.

I actually chose the option 2 - I figure if I really want a new phone I can find one on Ebay or Craigslist at a reduced rate.
[G1 Android Development] cigar3tte:
I'm on a family plan (700 shared minutes), with 5 lines, 2 of them is my bro and me, both G1's with $25/month data, 1 line is my mom with voice, 1 line is @home, next line is for a friend. I've added another $25/month on the family plan for unlimited texting.

The two G1's are on 2-year contracts, and to switch to Even More Plus, I'd need to either pay $200 ETF on each line, or continue to pay the $25/month on each line for the remainder of the 2-yr contract.

The other option is to go with Even More (not Plus), but I don't save money with that one.

Are you sure you just stopped paying for the data plan on your G1? That's pretty much the contracted the part, and you should have 11 more months to go.
[G1 Android Development] Orion12521:
I did a search and didn't get what I thoguht was a definitive answer...

If I move from the TMO to AOSP, will I still be able to access my Yahoo Mail account using the Email program? I do not pay for the POP3 access, it is just a vanilla Y! account.

TIA

[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
I don't know about Flash (I think that is just on the Hero themes), but the ROM has Multi-touch. I think it gets installed automatically if you install a theme. If not you can go to Terminal and run expsetup, choose option 14 and install Loccy's better browser.
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
Yes - Definitely
[G1 Android Development] yingjai:
ok the sterricsons "beautiful" lockscreen is anything but. there's an ugly pattern behind the date and time. behind the 4 icons, there are 2 different backgrounds.. a solid and another with an ugly pattern and different size. i don't have any themes.

the original lock screen was much better.. is there any way to remove it or change it so it's an option in the expsetup?

i can upload a screenshot later if anybody wants.. im at school right now.
[G1 Android Development] Deejaydark:
am i the only one with this problem ?

Is anyone else having this problem where you exit an app or txt or anything you just used & when leaving you get a black screen for about a second or two then your wallpaper and apps start to appear as if it's loading in the background. It only started once i put on the hero v2 theme. Before i just had the root & expansion & it worked fine with no flaws & very fast. But now that i have a theme on it runs a little sluggish where i would have to wait around 2 to 4 seconds before anything appears once i leave an app or browser... or could it be that i also downloaded & installed the resource files in expsetup ? ( i installed 1-4 in the resource). Sorry if i sound so noobish but a closed mouth cant eat :)
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
Flash is not something Enom can do until either Adobe or Google releases it for Android (Droid from Verizon which runs 2.0 won't get it till next year). HTC's Flash is part of the Hero framework which is not open source.

As for multi-touch, every ROM un here supports it in the kernel, just get loccy's browser.
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
Themes run a little slower. Trade off between beauty and speed. Disable all the animations, it makes it a tad snappier.

What are your linux/compcache/swapiness settings?

Also, how could you have installed resource 4 (107mb patch) if it's not available?
[G1 Android Development] bitter1:
I have a new mystery:

Running the 2.1.1 and rooted T-mo rom. Suddenly my auto correct for text has stopped working. I can search where that's linked to other ROMs but not been mentioned in this one.

Any ideas? It's not a major problem, but I text a lot and it saves me some time. (Yes I'm retarded and use punctuation in texts, sometimes I text co-workers and leet isn't going to work.)
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
Upgrade to 2.1.2 It's fixed.
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
This has happened to me too, but I was able to fix it by un-checking the Auto Correct option, sending a text, then re-checking the Auto Correct option.

I use punctuation in my text messages too, it drives my friends and family crazy because I typically don't use the "texting" language like "cuz" and "gr8"...I'm a nerd, I need to spell everything...LOL
[G1 Android Development] cigar3tte:
Don't you hate it that it's not the other way around? I can't stand the lack of punctuations, meanings get crossed up when you leave out punctuations. "cuz" and "gr8" is one thing, but punctuations shouldn't ever get left out.
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
I agree...especially in longer text messages when it can sometimes be hard to understand what a person is trying to say when they don't use punctuation.

I work as a technical writer for an engineering company, so it's second nature for me to spell-out everything and use punctuation...and ramble on and on...:)
[G1 Android Development] Deejaydark:
I just use default settings & as for resource 4.. u can download & install it. It has for me but thats what the problem was lol i did a format with a fresh install of base & expansion... downloaded everything except for resource 4 & now everything works fine & fast with no delays. But thanks for responding cuz i couldnt wait for a reply lol.
[G1 Android Development] the_chief-G1:
Thank you, guys!

Have one problem, Quake2 can't run on this rom because of the sound track, I delete it then it works. Some one likes me? Can it be fixed?
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
enom,

I pushed the new, updated Superuser.apk but it doesn't appear to work. Entering "su" at the terminal just holds up the terminal window. The new UI is much nicer, and so it would be great if it could be made to work. I've pushed the original back for now, but if you need me to check something let me know.
[G1 Android Development] cyberrobin:
Anyone? Still having the same problem.
[G1 Android Development] ady_uaic:
hello. i'm tryint to install this rom(AOSP_ADP_1.6_r1.4_DRD20_rooted_base_v2.zip) to my dream (i'm a newbie in android os), and i have the following error:

Installing from sdcard........

....................................

E:No signature (355 files)

E:Verification failed

Installation aborted.

Press Home+Back to reboot.
[G1 Android Development] jamerican413:
It downloaded and installed fine for me. Did you run "su" before "expsetup", then "14", enter, "y" after your selection, after install "y" to reboot into recovery? Did you try to install each one separately or at one time?
[G1 Android Development] cyberrobin:
Strange, is seems to be working again.. didn't work for two days.. :P
[G1 Android Development] ady_uaic:
cand you give me a little tutorial how to install this rom? i'm searching from about 3hours, but still nothing :(.
[G1 Android Development] jamerican413:
Cool! Glad you got it back!
[G1 Android Development] jamerican413:
I hate to ask a dumb question, but I have to know where you are. Is your phone rooted and partitioned already?
[G1 Android Development] ady_uaic:
i think not. i didn't done nothing (only copied the update.zip file to sd card and runned it with alt+l and alt+s).
[G1 Android Development] joen_:
I really wish the custom lock screen would be moved to the expansion pack as an optional mod. One of the reasons I prefer the Enomther roms is because I like to keep my Android stock and add the performance and added functionality I want from the expansion pack. It kinda seems contrary to the Enomther roms to include this by default.

Is there a way I can restore the default lock screen?
[G1 Android Development] jamerican413:
OK, that's your problem. You have some work to do. The first thing you want to do is go to this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=553416

The information I would suggest you zero in on is here: NEW METHOD - Wow. I am reposting this info from another source:

This is an automatic root process. Load a new recovery image and load a ROM with some simple clicks.

1. Download these to the SD:

http://android.lucidrem.us/_fd.php?f...c-20090904.apk

http://android.lucidrem.us/_fd.php?f...-RAv1.2.1G.img

USA http://android.lucidrem.us/_fd.php?f...OTA/update.zip

EUR http://android.lucidrem.us/_fd.php?f...OTA/update.zip

2. Use ASTRO to install the APK file. -> Run the program.

3. Click to BackUp your current recovery.

4. Type "/sdcard/recovery-RAv1.2.1G.img" into the text box. -> Click "Flash Custom Recovery Image" (unless you want Cyan)

5. Boot into the recovery screen and flash the new update.zip file.

You now have root access and you did not have to wipe.

Now you will be able to reboot into the recovery screen and flash any ROM.

Try it. You'll like it. Works on G1 and myTouch.

I would strongly suggest you read the whole thread so you can see what other people have gone through so that you'll recognize what your phone is telling you when you're doing it. You can find "ASTRO" in the market. It's a great file manager.

After you've done that, then you want to partition your SD card. You can find that here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=548924

After you've done ALL THAT, then you'll want to come back to this thread and if you've downloaded the proper files go to thread #4.

I would strongly suggest that you read through all of this stuff first so that it will make some sort of sense to you.

Someone may come along with an easier, more concise way to do this. These are pretty much the steps I used to learn the process.
[G1 Android Development] cyberrobin:
Got every resource installed now (1,2 and 3), except the 10Mb kernel patch (4). Still gives the 404 Not Found error while trying to download it.
[G1 Android Development] jamerican413:
Then you're fine. To my knowledge, enom hasn't posted the 10mb kernel options yet.

How do i get MMS to work without data plan? I dont have data plan and mostly use wireless when i need internet.
[G1 Android Development] uiterlix:
I'm experiencing the exact same problem. Any tips on how to resolve ?
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
The G1 is my wife's (and she is new to texting etc). She complains about the Auto correct changing words she does not want changed (for example the abbreviation for our kids schools or my son's name, etc.). She had me turn off all the auto correct features. Don't you run into that problem? Is she just not using the Auto Correct properly?
[G1 Android Development] Driften:
I have installed the latest TMO version and the addon package to my my3g. How do I run the expsetup? When I start the terminal it does not seem to support the soft keyboard.
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
I do have that problem too...changes "ok" to "ol" every time...it's annoying.

I go through spurts where I'll keep the autocorrect options on for awhile then I'll turn it off. I mostly like the autocorrect when I'm using the soft keyboard, that way I don't always have to type the entire word. I type enough of the letters until the word shows up in the horizontal list above the keyboard and click it.

One thing I've found helpful, especially with acronyms, is to add them to the dictionary. I've also added my email address and last name.
[G1 Android Development] bitter1:
Mmmkay, so I wiped the Ext and installed the newest exp pack to see if I could fix the non-auto correcting problem with text. (Turning the setting off, then on didn't help.) But now my apps are gone, apps to sd apparently didn't work. So I can restore them from the backup Astro made, BUT anything I had purchased wasn't backed up and cannot be redownloaded from the market because my phone thinks they are still there. . . . Yay. . .
[G1 Android Development] javacody:
Same here, I asked about this a few days back but didn't get an answer.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
I swear by ConnectBot, but most people are happy with Better Terminal for Magic. Both of these have full support for the soft keyboard, including numerals. ConnectBot is also an SSH client, which is useful if you need such things (I find it occasionally handy to remotely administer my MythTV computer).
[G1 Android Development] Driften:
Never mind.. found a different terminal app that allowed me to run it.
[G1 Android Development] Driften:
Downloaded Better Terminal for Magic... thanks I will also look at ConnectBot since its nice to SSH sometimes ;)
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
The answer has been posted several times, amigo. Enomther is working on the 10MB patch for the current build, it's not available.
[G1 Android Development] mdavidf:
It's been my experience that whenever I wipe my EXT partition, my paid applications disappear, regardless of which backup program I use...including Nandroid. I've heard this is because there are some legal issues with backing paid apps.

And...I get the same thing in Market that you're describing...the phone thinks the apps are there but they aren't...so I end up completely wiping everything and starting over. There's a mymarket.db file on the SD Card that doesn't get wiped unless you delete it and it tricks the phone into thinking there's paid apps on it when there isn't.
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
You shouldn't have wiped ext. You should have just flashed the new exp pack like I told you yesterday. The auto correction was caused by a broken IME which was fixed in 2.1.2.

Also, its a good idea to nandroid or bart(even better) before you do any flashing. If you did then just revert and flash the new exp. If you didnt then I would suggest to wipe everything then reflash from scratch to avaoid any problems.
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
You can backup private apps (manually with terminal, a root file manager, or ADB) but they shouldn't disappear from the market when you wipe. If you purchased them then you can download them whenever you want through the market. All the other apps will disappear in the market, however.

Backing up the market db file used to work as you would be able to reinstall them in the market but google removed the ability to reinstall if you don't have it installed already.

The db file is in /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/assets.db

you can try erasing it, this way the market will think you have no apps installed but I am not sure if that would work.
[G1 Android Development] bitter1:
Installing the EXP Pack causes the boot into a blank screen. . .every time. Including last night. So I tried deleting the data on the partitions to fix it, didn't work.

Sooo, I restored the nandroid I made before doing that and I got the paid market issue again.

This lead to wiping and starting from scratch about 30 minutes ago. . . . So far so good, ugh. I do as suggested (just install the exp pack, etc) but I get the blank screen everytime unless I start the hell over.

I should just do this on weekends. . . .

By the by. . .when installing the apps to sd I get the "update.zip invalid line 1 and 8 blah blah" What gives?
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
If you had the base and 2.1.1 and just needed to update the exp pack, then a wipe is not required. Something must have gone wrong. Also, if you wipe ext, you would have to wipe data, else there is a high chance that you will have issues. If you get blank screen after G1 then its your ext partition.

You should wipe both, flash base, load it, reboot to recovery, flash exp.

If you are starting clean then you might as well get the AOSP and get rid of the T-Mobile one.

Good Luck.
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
Forgot to add. Get used to making regular backups, especially before any flashing. It's easy, go to console in recovery if you have Amon-Ra's recovery (if not get it) type "bart -s" it will prompt you to name the image, name it whatever you want (suggest including a date in there somewhere) and that's it. Your entire setup (nandroid +ext) is backed up. If something goes wrong, go back to recovery>console then bart -r, choose the image you want to go back to and thats it. You can use bart to experiment with different ROMS...

Just be sure you have enough space on your SD card, each image is somewhere between 175MB to 275MB depending on ROM, features, apps, etc...
[G1 Android Development] bitter1:
I did just that except the AOSP part. Like I said, maybe over a weekend. . . :-)

My card does occasionally act goofy, 16GB and I noticed most use 8GB, but I have the habit of using this as a USB drive to move large amounts of data between a notebook and workstation. I always have my phone with me but occasionally forget an external drive or USB stick. Possibly a habit i should break.

[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
This must be fate, I was JUST going to ask the exact same thing! :eek: You just beat me to it! :D
[G1 Android Development] Takenover83:
My setup currently on my G1.

1: Wiped, and reset up my Partitions via sdparted. Fat32, 512M ext4, 32M swap.

2: Installed TMO-OTA-US-DRC83-Rooted_update and then TMO_1.6_ExpPack_v2.1.2.

3: Once booted. I ran expsetup and enabled swap, disabled compcache, and set swapiness to 60.

Is there anything else I need to do to get a optimal setup? Anything maybe I should do different? I have read quiet a bit of this thread, but it has grown frightening large!
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
The swap and CC settings (swap off, CC 32 MB, swappiness whatever-it-was, but pretty low)set by default in 2.1.2 are pretty much optimal, so you're already off in experimental territory. A lot of responsiveness problems were caused by too high a swappiness and background apps tended to go FC/wait more frequently.

I still get occasional FC/waits from Handcent with the latest settings, but it's much less frequent than under 2.1.1.
[G1 Android Development] Deejaydark:
???

Hey Enom ! Any chance of seeing USB Tethering for this rom ? I mean wireless for root users is cool and all but drains battery like crazy :(
[G1 Android Development] alamuru420123:
I'd been using v2.1.1 for the last 2 weeks and bearing with the frequent "Force Close" messages and occasional hangs. But today I decided to flash the latest and check it out.

Just flashed my g1 with the v2.1.2 release (3rd Nov) and I must say I'm so glad I did it. It's blazing fast. And there was only one "Force Close" so far (browsing market while downloading, installing via wifi), but which worked fine when I said "Wait". The phone is so responsive now.

Great work Enom, I tip my hat to you.
[G1 Android Development] Ducter:
Just plug your phone, if you have USB obviously because you want USB tethering whats wrong with using wifi tether and plugged in? Same result no?
[G1 Android Development] Deejaydark:
not really..

Sorry there not the same... i just read this morning on xda about usb tethering and one.. it dosnt drain your battery. It works more like PDAnet which also charges the battery. Which means you can stay on ythe internet longer. Wireless tethering drains the hell out of your battery which means shorter time on the net. Sometimes i like to use my laptop cuz im able to watch my shows which uses flash and my phone dosnt have flash. So far Cyanogen has usb tethering on his build. Somewhere in XDA forums (application & games) there is an article about patching the kernels to use usb tethering but im no dev :( so that is why i asked because it is possible. Wireless tethering for me in my area i get 11mbs & with PDAnet i get 2.4mbs. I would like to see if this could be done for this rom.
[G1 Android Development] Takenover83:
Well I do't want to get lost in foreign territory :) so sense I am using a 32MB swap, should I disable CC, and leave swappiness at 30? I am trying my best to understand the suggestions in post #1(pure swap is favored), but it is a little confusing.
