Im using the version right before this one, I really like it but truthfully I do not know what this part of the newest change log means, anyone care to give a brief synopsis? Are we looking at performance enhancements? many thanks
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea, the googleMaps icon doesn't get updated by the theme b/c it's a vsapp (built-in). This is b/c it constantly changes in version, for instance right now it's v3.1.2. Some ROM's have actually removed GoogleMaps completely b/c of theme'ing issues (since you can download it from the Market).

As far as HTCMusic and the Twiiter app...

Stericson, did a port of the HTCMusic, I'm looking into that.

I don't think anyone has ported Twitter from HERO yet?!? I dunno.

Hi DMaverick50,

most of this stuff is for "convenience" for those utilizing scripting functions of a android ROM.

The odex'ing support can increase performance (IMHO), but you need to know what you're doing with it. It's a "use at your own risk feature", I'm sure most will not.

But the AndroidSPIN vsapp and resouce downloaders are for "convenience" to allow users to easily obtain kernel-mods, widgets, and alternate apps (like Browsers/MMS).

Can't install expansion pack.

Hey guys. So I installed the CRC1 update and it runs very nicely and is very quick on my G1. The only problem is that when I try to apply the security update or the new 1.7 expansion pack over the base rom I just get a boot loop over and over. Any idea's guys? Thanks for any future help.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi andy_lowe02,

The only time I've seen this is when ext4 was being utilized on the sdcard for the second partition. I know your signature states "ext2", but please advise/ensure you aren't using ext4, as only ext2/ext3 are supported.

Perhaps you upgraded at one point in the past and didn't change your signature?

Let me know if this could potentially be the case. This is the only time I've seen the "boot loop" after expansion pack installation.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] PS4AndroidHacker:
Well...I checked again and I am running FAT32 and EXT2. I don't know what the prob is. I finally installed the Hero Theme over the CRC1 Rom but now I'm just trying to install the expansion pack and security updates. Any thought's or answers much and greatly appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] DMaverick50:
understood. thank you enom
[G1 Android Development] htcclay:
Very nice work enom.

This is fast and very easily customizable with little effort.

Now my mytouch actually runs as well as it should out of the box.;)
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
Install went fine, running smooth. The only issue I found was installing the widgets from expsetup. It got to the last phase, (installing the widgets) said it installed then said something about can't unmount...then booted. It went so fast I don't know what it said. I tried it again and same results. The widgets are there on the sd card and in the right directory but not showing available from the home screen. Not a huge deal.

The only other comment I have is that I wish we had better theme support.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi andy_lowe02,

Are you using the "FullFeatured US Version v1.7.1. If so, you don't need to add the "expansion pack" on top.

Please advise, as this is how I understood your above comments.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Awesome.

Thanks for the feedback htcclay.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi jlacy76,

Yeah the "unmount" messages are typical. It attempts to umount filesystems before it reboots. But sometimes, they are busy and it throws that error (which is really no big deal). This shouldn't prevent the widgets from being install properly. So I'm not quite sure what happened there.

As far as theme support, please clarify. I've tried to bring along (or port) many themes to this build. I've taken great efforts to get them ported over. With more coming all the time now. RichieDaze is currently working on porting Moonspoon's latest gChrome (which I think is pretty nice).

Anyways, please clarify what you mean by "theme support". B/c alot ROM's out there have almost no themes available.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Yes, the gChrome theme would be great! I really like the grey app-drawer!
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
What does re-odexing do? and should I run it?

update: I do notice the rom running much faster when i re-odex my apps and disable the removal of odex files upon boot. I guess this option should only be used in T-mobile roms since ADP rom doesn't odex the apps?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
for mysticales

here are the hacked debian scripts.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey DOHCtor,

Yea it's for performance. When you odex the apps ... the system compiles the dex inline with it's native byte-ordering. which in turn makes it faster.

Also, just make sure ... (this is kind of a use-at-your-own-risk feature)...

Whenever you get an "update" for one of your apps in the Market. Re-run the script, to re-Odex the apps. ;)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
Damn, that sounds like a pain. How can I revert? Just run the remove option on boot?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Exactly. Remove the option on boot ... and reboot. Then you're back in business.

Moonspoon's gChrome Theme ported

Hi all,

RichieDaze ported Moonspoon's gChrome to TheOfficial ROM's.

Check em out at Moonspoon's thread.

[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
Wow, I'm not really into themes but this one looks great! I'm going to test this out.

edit: does it change the default camera and music app to the one from HTC?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
No it does not. All themes RichieDaze and/or I port, do not alter the apps.

For stability. ;)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
ok, sounds good. I was wondering, if I was to flash this theme, and then you come out with a new update, would flashing that update alter the theme or do I have to reflash the theme?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
As long as you just flash the updated expansion pack. You do not have to reflash the theme.

But if you flash the Full US, you would have to reflash the theme after upgrading.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Mi|enko:
Is his port just the regular version (which I'm thinking) or is it the enhanced version?
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
Seems like we don't get that cool lockscreen.

And where can I get this 4x1 toggle widget?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yeah ... it's just the regular one.

DOHCtor, that is the power widget from cyanogen's "donut crumbs".

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
damn, I wanted that. Anyways, I reverted back to stock theme because it didn't give me a big "awe" affect heh. Looks good though.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
I'm sure we'll get it soon, google's AOSP for donut (which is now v1.6) is coming along rapidly.

Great! Now all I need is the Cyanogen launcher in this style ;)

This Rom is great!
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Of course, things just move too fast sometimes! ;)

I'll post the cyanogen launchers for gChrome and the HERO theme later today.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
Let me weigh in on this as I've spent the last few days looking at every theme on the planet out there for the g1. I have two G1's, and on my backup I flashed a more than a few last week.

First off, the G1 is a simple looking device. If you put a garish theme on it IMO it does not "go with". Clean and simple looks better on this phone.

Second: Black themes look better on black phones. White status bars on black phones just don't go with the stealthy look. The tab should match the color palette.

Tabs: Some of these are waaay too large. It becomes the most dominate feature of the screen and distracts from the icons. It makes no sense to me that the icons are 2d and the tab is 3d. We all know there is a tab pullout at the bottom, does it really need to be THAT large?

What I found was as long as you have black status bar and a smallish 2d tab, it's really all you need.

Having a mix of colored and grayed out icons looks horrid. Having custom icons is nice but makes finding apps a little confusing when you are searching in the market. The other issue is locating YOUR apps after you've been accustomed to seeking one look and it's been changed.

Porting over a theme is not an easy task. Even using the spikey script there are still manual moves to be done, then signing it or won't load.

Launchers: Why are three screens not enough? Isn't that what Folders are for?

It's all a matter of taste I guess, but for my G1, less is more both in compatibility, appearance and usability.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Great! Just to be clear though... When I install the gChrome Cyanogen launcher, it will make upgrading your Rom/theme harder no? I installed the 1.71 Expansion Pack over the previously installed 1.6 version but that failed.

I suppose that happened because of the changed launcher? If this is the case I think I will stick to the default launcher... Thanks in advance!
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Did you wipe when you attempted to perform the upgrade ?

B/c yes, if you install a cyanogen launcher, then wipe, the phone will have trouble booting.

I hope I'm interpretting what you're saying correctly.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Ehhmm, what I mean is this: right now I have the CRC37 Rom installed, the 1.71 Expansion on top of that and the gChrome theme flashed as well. All works great, very impressed, best Rom yet.

If I were to flash the to be uploaded Cyanogen gChrome launcher, and you update your Rom and/or Expansion Pack, will I be able to install those without any problem whatsoever?

I recall reading something about not being able to after installing a non TMO-launcher? Hope this makes sense...
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Ok! Now I'm completely with you.

Yes, you would be able to safely install expansion pack upgrades, even with the cyanogen launcher install.

The one thing you won't be able to do is "wipe" your phone.

But upgrading my ROM's you would have no problems. ;)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Okay! Great news! Been fooling around with the phone all day and am getting more and more impressed...

<anxiously awaiting the gChrome launcher...> :D

<advanced launcher will be with us soon... hang in there...> :cool:
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
Compcache seems to slow the phone down a lot in the US rom. I turned it off and my phone is always lightning fast with Cyan's cpu sampling. Only downside are memory hungry apps disconnecting my messaging app (Meebo) but Hello IM! seems to be able to resist it though (maybe because it's ran as Active instead of a Service like Meebo).
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey DOHCtor,

Well of course, disabling compcache will always speed up any ROM.

All ROM's run better w/out compcache, period. They just suffer the memory quench, like you're experiencing now.

I would be interested to have you e-mail your logs. So I can take a look. (of course w/compcache turned back on).

B/c everytime some1 has complained about the speed of compcache to me, I acquire their logs and find another problem with their setup, and I fix is, and then they love compcache. Just FYI.

Personally, when I stress test compcache, it performs well. What tends to happen is a very abusive/heavy app stays resident in RAM causing a much bigger memory quench, thus causing slowness. This is not compcache's fault, but rather the rogue program.

"Advanced Task Killer" in the Market, solves that for me.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
I understand that. I use advanced task manager and I constantly check it and there wasnt any rogue app. Anyways, I'm back on adp again lol. I gott astop switching so much.

Cyanogen's Launcher

Hello,

What do you do with these? Does this make it easier to upload the different themes? If so how do you do it?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
This is cyanogen's Launcher.apk, a HomeScreen replacement. It gives you (5) homescreens, instead of (3), and also performs auto-rotate.

It has nothing to do with themes, persay.

They install by downloading and flashing like any other update.zip in recovery.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Without trying to be too anxious, any idea when the themed-launchers will be uploaded? :D

And, will they offer also some/any speed/stabilty improvements? So far I find this Rom very very nice. No "reloading user-interface problems" whatsoever, as of yet. On every other Rom I had to wait for the desktop to show it's icons after quitting a memory-internsive app. Haven't seen this yet, I hope it'll stay like that! Usually after a number of days this fenomenon started to happen. A dalvik-cache wipe and normal wiped solved this issue, but only for a few days.

Have you used any of the Cyanogen launchers yourself intensively on your Rom or are they just conversions? Meaning: do you advise using them or not :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] simplewhite:
OHH wow! ok i like it. I never thought about look of other screens or rotate i home screen :) But i all ready have one emply home screen i really dont need 2 more. How do i uninstall?

Thank you for all your hard work.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
I never made a "reverting package", suppose I should.

Best thing todo, is reflash the ROM. No need to wipe.

i wanted to get the us-crc1 rom but i was just wondering what is the difference between this us 1.5 and jesusfreke's 1.5 us rom...
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
gChrome & HERO Cyan-Launchers

Hi gamefan231,

Well the differences are technical in nature. This is (for lack of a better comparison), the update to JF's builds. CRC1-US (in the TMO build line for US) is the successor to CRB43-US. So the framework and apps have some minor updates. TMO claimed these as "security updates".

Now I've updated the base with more features than what the great JF had left us. Am trying to carry his torch faithfully.

I do not use cram or squash fs in my builds. That's a difference. My kernel is updated with the latest security patches and I've added a few new features, auto-Apps2SD, Auto-CompCache and some other tweaks. Other than that, this ROM and the JF's are VERY similar.

Hope that HELPS!

=============================================

Now To All,

gChrome & HERO cyanogen launchers added to the resource section!

Enjoy!

:)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] gamefan231:
thank you...can u explain the auto apptosd a little more, does it mean i dont have to use the app2sd method...and does this CRC1-US have multi-touch and if not, can u tell me a way to put it on?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi gamefan231,

Yes Auto-Apps2SD means, you do not have to manually implement it.

And Yes, this ROM supports multi-touch.

[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Thanks a lot! This Rom is the bomb, seriously! :D
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
I left this build for a couple of days because of looks and had to repartition this morning, lost everything, some 30 apps + all my hacks have to be reinstalled. Last night I didn't even have a phone that would ring.

I'm back on this build this morning but with the same problem. The theme looks tacky compared to the rest of the phone and is hard to see outdoors even in the shade. Part of my seeing issue is the power support film I use for a screen protector and the other part is that I don't see that well in the first place. Combine those two things with the low contrast LCD even on max brightness and you can perhaps sense my frustration here. Yes, I need it to work because it's a business phone that I actually show customers but the other part of that is usability out in the field. I'm considering paying someone to make me a theme for this rom.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
This I do not fully understand :confused:The basic Rom doesn't even include a theme, it's the standard Android UI.

You can install a theme which you prefer, they are listed on the first page. Just select one that you can read easily and you're done.

Blaming the poor readability on this Rom is not correct, IMHO. Selecting a theme is a choice, not mandatory.
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
Wait, I'm not blaming anything on this rom at all. It's been the most stable out of all of them. As I've said some 20 posts back, I wish there was more theme support for it for grown ups. Yeah, I know what's available in themes for this, even the new ones just ported. I just wish we had more high contrast options that made sense for a black G1, that's all.

The dudescupcake looked great on a black phone, small tab, simple design, black status bar with white text. Toss on a dark background, even that honeycomb and it looked great and was readable. It didn't look like a 13 year old designed the damn thing or would have had boobs as a wallpaper. It was his stock rom look and feel wise and he just changed the tab png to a design that was as simple as the rest of the phone and readability was foremost. It wasn't stable for me but from a design viewpoint it matched the G1's overall look very well.

You'd be hard pressed to find someone who is a bigger fan of TheOfficial than me or the person behind it. I just wish I could make it look as good as it works.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Umk jlacy76,

I've asked several times throughout the life of this ROM for theme requests. If you have a "specific theme" you've seen in the "themes forum", make a request here.

As far as dark status bars. Themes like that won't appear in the TMO US build, perhaps the ADP build, but not the TMO (b/c of full odex'ing).

So find a theme in the theme forums you like, make a request and we'll see what happens.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
Good Morning ~Enom~

Personally, I don't want anyone monkeying around with your rom. I haven't been around here long but from what I can gather, adding this widget and that "thing" might work but them again it might not. Frankly, there is NO functionality that I "need" that your rom does not give me. Your rom provides stability over everything else and that's something I can't get in others.

Hey, I like Curry chicken as well as anyone, but too much curry powder ruins the whole dish. I think some of these theme designs are like putting curb feelers and mud flaps on a BMW. The less garish design for the G1 is actually more.

I won't mention it here again. I'll post in theme requests and see if I have any takers :)

Thanks

Joe
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Good morning,

I hope you didn't misunderstand me. I was saying if there is some theme over in the theme forum, you could request it "here" in this thread and we'll see what can be done about it.

:)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
Oh, sorry I miss understood. Well, it's super simple, there are no themes like this but it's just clean and black. Black status/white text. Reduce the tab to just the circle and the arrow off the stock tab is fine and even a black or darker background all programs page. No gloss, no 3d, no glitter. My guess is it would take changing the xml for the status bar and two pngs but I don't know how to do either or if this is how it's done.

It's basically this theme. I even use this wallpaper which BTW, looks awesome with the body glove case. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=535698

For my eye, why have a virtual tab larger than the physical one on the phone? The tab on the stock rom is the right width to match the physical one below it, but it seems too tall because it is light blue. Change the tab color to black and leave the circle and arrow and on a black background all you would see is the circle and arrow cleaning up the UI.
[G1 Android Development] simplewhite:
I second this theme. Even tho i have a white G1, but i'm really feeling this one also.

Just my 2 Pennies :) Thanks
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
This theme can only be partially ported to the TMO-US. It can be fully ported to the ADP version of the ROM.

Let me know if you want to convert to the ADP, this theme would work on it.

On the TMO build, basically everything could be ported except the black statusbar w/white texts. A middle gray alternative could be accomplished.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
I'm not sure what the difference is in ADP and the one I'm running. I searched around this morning and couldn't find anything conclusive. I read one comment that you could not get paid apps and another one that said I could.

I don't want to give up stability or usability certainly, but still unclear if this is right for me.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi jlacy76,

The ADP is US-English only, while the TMO build includes US-Spanish also.

TMO build is fully odex'd, so it loads faster and you get more free /data room (not a big issue though w/Apps2SD).

ADP is more theme-able (b/c it's not odex'd).

Both are equally stable, in my opinion.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
Ok, cool, lets go for it.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
