Thanks

I just want to say a big THANK YOU to the developer(s) of this rom. I started out by coming from a Cyanogen ROM but for some strange reasons, it wouldn't completely boot up. I tried everything to no avail, but then I decide to start afresh from the start i.e downgrading, rooting i.e. Now my phone is running fast and it's stable(important!), and the expsetup gives me more tweak options.

PS: If I apply a theme and for some reason decide to go back to stock theme, how can I go about this ?
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
The "theme templates" available from Post 1 are your friends. Get the right one for your build and flash to return to the stock appearance.

is it possible to port the eclair browser to this rom?
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
lucid

I am novice with LUCID - any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to: 1) update to latest AMONRA; 2) Load GUSTO; and Load hotfix for SU.

I have tried each of

lucid -rc -ra

lucid gusto (and lucid -gusto)

lucid -su

The 2nd two just print the lucid help screen. The 1st one says "error opening /data/recovery.img: no such file or directory
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
Lucid Script

make sure you have the latest version of the script:

# lucid -u
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
That worked - thanks!

Shouldn't I already have had it if I loaded the 2.5.1 expansion pack?
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Lucid works fast :) Much faster than enomther updates the expansion pack. And thank you for using GUSTO!
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
This is true.

I will over the next week or so be preparing another minor update (basically to incorporate GUSTO and get several things updated (like lucid).

:)

@olearyp ... got your msg the other day man (just been slammed since the weekend) ... I'll get with you on it.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
Tried GUSTO for the 1st time tonight - really cool!

Another lucid question - I type lucid -s and get:

/data/app -> /system/sd/app

/data/app-private -> /system/sd/app-private

/data/data is not linked

/data/dalvik-cache is not linked

/system/media not linked

-------------------------

23.3M /system/sd/app

1.9M /system/sd/app-private

38.8M /system/sd/dalvik-cache

--------------------------

87.3M /system/sd

What is the "is not linked" status?
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
I know this is not the appropriate thread but getting help with bart/switchrom is too slow. I was trying to upgrade my memory card and did the following steps: formatted/partitioned new card, barted and flipped it on the new card through a pc. When I attempt to restore I get the following error: tar: invalid magic or some crap like that. Wtf is that and how can I get all my stuff back, I am at a loss and tried everything, multiple barts, reformatting, etc... Just did a fresh install but in need of my previous image. Can anyone help?

p.s. Its been a while... Enom and Olearyp, I see you guys are the last front in 1.6 land... Keep it up...
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
Means you are not using the ext partition to hold that data. Your ext uses symbolic links to make it appear to be part of the system... Though I think thats just to give you an idea of whats linked, I think the bind method is actually used...
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
How this is not faster than Super D or any other ROMs on XDA is beyond my comprehension. Just wanted to say that, great ROM(s)!

Here is a thing..

i already flashed basic ROM

here the ‘su’ can get me to superuser, rootexplorer is working

but after i flashed a theme package (what every it is)

'su' came 'permission deny' in Terminal Emulator

and rootexplorer gone blank.

USB debug is turned on. what can i do ?
[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
ok, i figured out the reason, i wiped again, everything worked fine ,but then for some reason, when i updated to meltus's audio hack (lucid -au v7), the camcorder stopped recording sound, it only recorded picture... i dont know why. i again confirmed it by wiping again and redownloading the sound hack, and same problem, any ideas? (anyone know how to remove the hack?)
[G1 Android Development] mannyb:
Anyone else stuck on the second boot screen while installing "AOSP-1.6_r1.4 + ADP DRD20"?

It just keeps looping. The animation (the shiny effect going from left to right on the android text) will run exactly twice, freeze for three seconds, the screen turns black for a second and then the text and the animation will start over again, twice. Lather, rinse, repeat. It's been sitting there for about 20 minutes now, repeating the same cycle over and over again.

Setup is an ADP1 with stock SPL. Latest radio. 8 GB freshly formatted SD card with an empty 768 MB Ext2 partition.
[G1 Android Development] bittermormon:
is it possible to drop the eclair browser and music player that Cyan (an others) use in this ROM, or do they rely on stuff that lies deeper within?
[G1 Android Development] mailman1387:
Oh ok thanks..i also read it comes with a FM transmitter as oppose to the N1.

Also seeing that you have the N1 i read its top heavy so it makes it uncomfortable to hold at times and easy to drop?Your opinion?
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Here's a comparison chart for you against the N1 & passion

I usually experience that when I forget to wipe the ext partition. But could be something else.
[G1 Android Development] striperskipper:
Finally got around to rooting and updating the rom on my G1. Thanks enomther, you did a great job on the rom. she's wicked fast compared to how the G1 ran prior.
[G1 Android Development] ZeroXtreme:
What are the implications of running compcache and swap at the same time? Also it would be nice to be able to enable "Accessibilty" in the settings because it allows to enable haptic feedback on screen press.

Great ROM though, I'm using the AOSP one, and all is great!!!! Thanks for the effort in making it.
[G1 Android Development] alamuru420123:
Having a problem for the last couple of weeks. I can't download anything from the market. It shows me new updates are available and can also browse the apps on the market. But when I select install, it just stays stuck on "Starting download".

Has anyone else faced this problem? I'm using wifi and haven't changed anything in the router settings. I was using 2.1.2 till now and just upgraded to 2.5.1 (love the speed though!) and still can't download.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
You can enable Accessibility by downloading "TalkBack", "KickBack" and "SoundBack". These will enable those options.

That was an old post you were quoting, very old, ... you can enable compcache + linux-swap (the linux swap is just used as backing store) ... but the main thing is in my experience has proven that one or the other by itself performs very well, while mixing them causes havic on android, when it has to choose between compressing ram or swapping it out to linux-swap. This appears to cause to much cpu-cycle chaos in android.

With pure compcache or pure linux-swap, android doesn't have to make this decision and it greatly improves performance.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Open up and Log into GTalk, this should resolve your issue.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] ZeroXtreme:
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm amazed at the level of commitment and support you give, and it is greatly appreciated.

HAHA!!! I know it is wery old, but I just got my G1 now... 2nd hand from a friend. I use Windows Mobile but really got interested in Android when I played with my friend's Hero. Now I'm thinking of switching primary and secondary phones... hehe...

Thanks for the advice on "Kickback", thats the only part I wanted really.

I am well familiar with UNIX/Linux since it's part of my profession, I was just curious on how it was handled specifically on an Android device. So theoretically compcache is faster since compression in RAM is a whole lot faster than the I/O to an sd-card, but it does not give as much available total system memory as a swap partition/file does. Please correct me if I am wrong, so the idea is if you run a lot of apps simultaneously, swap would be better than compcache since android would not terminate the apps and just swap them out, which would be better than loading them from scratch since A2SD is active anyway it would more or less be the same time but it will maintain the last state of the application rather than starting it from scratch.

Would you know the compression ratio of compcache? Also what is the ideal swap space for the G1? Normally with servers/PCs its 2xRAM size average and it gets lower as the RAM size increases. Applying that to the G1, the RAM is 128MB so would it benefit if the swap was 256MB?

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Android Development] mannyb:
Thank you for your input. I wiped the SD card and redid the partitions three times, but no luck unfortunately.

I pretty much tried everything I could think of (save for installing a new SPL), but it ended up looping at the same (second boot screen) spot every time. Eventually I scrapped the ASOP release and went for the ADP one instead, and it has been smooth sailing ever since. Everything works just fine.

Once again, thanks for your input!
[G1 Android Development] alamuru420123:
That's odd. It just stays stuck at "signing in ..." when I open gtalk. I tried clearing the application cache for google apps so that it prompted me for my user name and password again, but still stays stuck at the same point.

GMail and GCal work fine though.
[G1 Android Development] GuitarBytes:
hello, i want to activate or configure the swap in this rom, how can i do it? thanks
[G1 Android Development] SimonNWalker:
So far this ROM is looking and working VERY smooth.

I must say that this ROM so far appears to be faster and smoother than Cyanogens latest.

Im fine with the look as it is. Don't start adding all the features that will only end up slowing you down.

I have Apps2sd on a class 4 card and it all works nicely.

If you want a good stock rooted ROM you can't go wrong here.

Keep up the awesome work Enomther. I'm impressed.

You get the AndroidSPIN Seal of Approval

Hey Enom, is there anyway you can port this theme http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=520629 because my brother has been bugging me for it.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
I can port one that is very similar, with some slight color differences. Specifically the clock in the upper right-hand corner and the statusbar. The rest would remain untouched.

I'll turn something out soon on this for everyone. A HERO'ish theme would be nice to have.

Yea we tested and got the same results. As a temporary work-around for Magic users, the expansion pack 'expsetup' menu will be converted to "letter driven" as opposed to "number driven" in the upcoming v1.7 series.

mytouch 3g problem running fresh face

Hello just installed the rom last night and so far no problems tell i tried fresh face and the weather app. on the weather app it does not seem to be pulling up the weather data. just wondering if any one is using it with this rom or what weather app you are using.

thanks for the help and thanks for the rom.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi BloodyWasHere,

First of all, in order to disable the android keyboard. It's in Settings, Locale & text and then uncheck the 'Android Keyboard' checkbox.

2nd, the vsapp uninstaller is in the same place as the vsapp installer. In TerminalApp run ..

su
expsetup

The vsapp installer is option #5.

The vsapp uninstaller is option #6.

Just make sure the cime_vsapp.zip is in /sdcard/epvsapps and then select option #6. It will uninstall any vsapp.zip in the directory.

[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
wow thats real easy, thanks man, just one more thing.. is there a way to add the reboot phone option in the power menu? and any news about a flash player?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi BloodyWasHere,

Currently there is no way for you to add this option. It's being looked into for the v1.7 series. But as it stands with this ROM currently, you're stuck with the normal poweroff.

EDIT: I almost missed your question about the flash player... Currently as far as a built-in flash player, HERO builds are the only ones that have it, and the sluggishness is a high price to pay for simply a flash player. There are some on the Market, I don't know how good they are but you could check those out. I'm sure eventually a flash player will come to the AOSP and cupcake build types, it's only a matter of time.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi ramp1999,

To be completely honest, I've never heard of "fresh face" before.

As far as weather apps in general, there is one I've included in the widgetpack, which can be found in the vsapp resource download section.

It's not very detailed though and is very generic, however I'd suggest you just play around with the various apps in the Market till you find one to your liking.

I search the Market for "fresh face" and couldn't find anything by that name.

Hope it goes well for you.

[G1 Android Development] alamuru420123:
Did a complete re-format of SD Card and re-install of the ROM and expansion pack. Rebooted and logged in and market works again! Don't understand what the problem was with it, but i'm glad that it works finally.

It came in as a pleasant surprise that market automatically started downloading and installing all the apps that I had previously. I've got 16 simultaneous downloads triggered automatically. I'm quite impressed. Was worried I'd have to search and install them myself manually.

my youtube app is acting strange. When igo into subscription it show the subs but not videos as there is no videos?... i m using tmous 1.6

[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
To turn that behavior off, you'll have to switch to Advanced Launcher (theme profile, select Advanced Launcher, reboot to recovery, flash theme or theme template) or manually install the basic AOSP Launcher.apk (try the one from Dwang's Donut ROM). Enom's "enhanced" Launcher (5 screen w/rotation, no other changes) probably should have been optional, but them's the breaks.

[G1 Android Development] mvanwyk83:
My Youtube app is also not working. It keeps saying connection error.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
No, the contacts sync is a feature in 2.0/2.1. This is a 1.6 ROM. You can use the Facebook Contacts folder on the desktop as a substitute (long press on desktop, select folders, find it).

Clear your YouTube cache (Settings -> Applications -> YouTube -> Clear cache).
[G1 Android Development] JackD3ath:
New radio?

I thought i remember reading about a radio update, is that coming or did I misread something.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
There was a TMO OTA for mT3G users with a radio, but enom hasn't gotten his hands on the whole update yet--requires someone with a 32B myTouch 3G to have an engineering SPL to switch to stock and apply the OTA, since it was released as a binary patch. But due to the timing of the mT3G release, nearly everyone who has one rooted did it with flashrec, and still has the perfected SPL.

There was also an AOSP release with the same build tag, but nothing's gonna even start on that at least until enom gets his rooted G1 back. And while I've nudged him in that direction, I'm not sure he wants to get on it yet.

The radio is available separately, but after discussing with enom it sounds like it doesn't do much without the updated userspace code.
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
Hey olearyp, I see you have a black Mytouch 3g. Do we just wait 'til enom releases another update so the annoying update goes away? is there something i can do to make it stop trying to update other than not downloading it? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
I'm actually not sure what the mitigation is, since I'm running the AOSP base ROM. The notifications only come up on the TMO base ROM. It might have already been answered on the thread but honestly I don't remember.
[G1 Android Development] mvanwyk83:
Thanks a lot!! I cleared the cache but that didn't help....clearing the data actually made it work, so again, thanks!!
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Oh well, it was something like that! Glad you got it working.
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
EDIT: ACTUALLY, DOING THIS OTHER THING IS EASIER. The rest of this post is left for historical purposes.

The following ought to work. Your options are (1) download the attached script and run it on your phone (as root run `# sh ota_shutup.sh.txt'), (2) carry out the patching operation by hand, changing the build id, description, and fingerprint in build.sapphire.prop, as indicated below, or (3) wait a few hours for the inevitable post by LucidREM indicating either (a) this has been in `lucid' for several months, or (b) it's there now. :D

The attachment is identical to the below, but it has the correct line endings so might be easier to use; also, the final newline in the file isn't optional, so you won't be able to mess that up (as a copy/paste might). Finally, yes, I could have done this with `sed', but I'm lazy.

What you'll be doing is attempting to convince TMO that you've already updated your phone.
