I had boot-loop before, with the first expansion pack
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
new expansion pack works!
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
For those having boot loop issues ... please perform a test so I can be 100 % sure

Power off your phone ... remove your sdcard ... and power back on.

If you don't get boot loop ... it's the sdcard. Please let me know ... almost to comp now.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
installed expansion booted phone and it now says I have a blank sd card. came from a fresh install using parted on all three partitions
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Thanks appreciate the feedback ... my test show everything working on the new exppack. Thanks for confirming I'm not alone LOL

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] markimar:
Does this build have the BFS?
[G1 Android Development] TheTurk:
vsapp.zip

Probably a dumb question, but where do I download vsapp.zip?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Currently ... no it does not.

I have some testing todo w/ folks over in the sapphire forum b4 I will feel comfortable with a 2.6.29 kernel again ... some HW issues ... as soon as I can get a 2.6.29 kernel that doesn't have the issues other dev's 2.6.29 kernels have ... I'd likely incorporate BFS, till then ... my kernel is fast enough. ;)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
In the TerminalApp ... run ...

su
expsetup

Select option #13 ... it will prompt for the various vsapp's.

Wifi Still doesn"t work

I have a MyTouch 32B, I have all the updated files including the expansion pack, and my wifi is unable to start in both base and expansion.

Any idea what is going on?
[G1 Android Development] maverick262:
Has anyone here successfully downloaded protected apps on the 1.6 ADP1 build?
[G1 Android Development] TheTurk:
Boot Loop

Thanks regarding the vsapp.zip.

I'm seeing that some people are getting past the boot loop. Was the expansion pack updated or was it the sdcard issue?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Had a few users confirm the new expansion pack is good. So I'm guessing sdcard still ... but I'm waiting to hear back from those who posted previously ... I gave them a test to perform.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Not sure about this richardmkovach ... Has anyone else with a myTouch3G had this issue ? Need some more confirmation ???

Thanks all.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] maverick262:
How did you manage to do that? I tried downloading some of my purchased apps along with androzip and I keep getting a download unsuccessful message. Do you need to push any files to the /system?
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
I'll test this on my MT3G later tonight for you Enom
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
im using ext3 but sadly i dont have time to flash the add on again as i need to hit the road. Traffic on the 5 be sucketh right now.

before i installed the rom i went into the console and did the following to wipe my ext partition (i know its only cleaning up the contents of the sd folder)

mount /system/sd/

rm -rf /system/sd/*
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
Still in bootloop for me.
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
Just to say thank you and I had no problems with the expansion pack (32B mytouch)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Thanks beagz for some confirmation. Appreciate it.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Herm ... w/ the sdcard removed ?

Perhaps one more try at a fresh install ?

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
yes, even with card out, flashing the base build now
[G1 Android Development] jiray2:
Yup I took out my sdcard as well and it was still bootlooping. I'm going to reformat and my sdcard and create new partitions. I'll come back with an update soon.
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
guys everything works including expansion pack for 1.6
[G1 Android Development] grokdesigns:
You seem to be one of the lucky ones. I'm still experiencing bootloops with the expansion pack.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey guys ... yea ... I just realized ... if it boot looped once ... it might continue (even w/card removed) .. b/c of symlink creation ... a fresh install would be in order.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] guzzipuzzi:
I flashed the base rom and it works fine. I'm going to wait till the Expansion is confirmed working before flashing it though
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi grokdesigns,

I actually have a randonmizer installed that fails for 2 out of 3 users ... lol ... jk.

Fresh install is likely in order ... redo your sdcard partitions first ... make sure you use ext2 or ext3, wipe, flash.

Let me know.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] jiray2:
Ok i just reformatted my sd card and expansion pack and everything works great. Thanks a lot!
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi guzzipuzzi,

We have numerous confirmations that exppack works fine (read up the posts). Partitioning on the sdcard is the key. If you redo your ext partition on your sdcard prior to exppack install ... and make sure you use ext2 or ext3 ... you should have no issues.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] grokdesigns:
I applied both updates and then took the SD card out before letting it boot. Worked great.
[G1 Android Development] djunio:
yup, that did it, its good now
[G1 Android Development] VGPOP:
I will give this one a try, but there are three ROMS to choose.

Which one is the best/most features?

1) The HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROM (Donut Inside) - NEW!

2) The TMO OTA CRC1 ROM US

3) The TMO OTA CRC37 ROM EU

Well, I am in the US, don't know if the EU version applies to me or it's just the European version.

Are they all the same?

I have CynogenMod 4.0.4 now.

I'd appreciate any inputs.
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
I used parted for all partitions It works great. wonderful ROM
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
Hey Enom, it's confirmed (with expansion pack) working on my MT3G but it's really buggy. I had it rebooted on its own just now and it freezes/chokes a lot. The power control widget seems to not work properly a well. I'm going to nandroid restore the old build and wait for a stable version for the MT3G.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey DOHCtor,

Appreciate the feedback ... did you make sure to blow away your ext partition prior to installation ... as left overs from any other TheOfficial build would make things unusable ... let me know.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] TheTurk:
Installed

I rebuilt my sdcard and installed and everything booted up fine. I'll do some testing and give you feedback. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
Yes, I did. Whenever I nandroid, I always backup my ext partition by doing this

cd /system/sd && tar cpf /sdcard/ext/backup.tar *

Then afterwards I would do the usual

rm -rf /system/sd/*
umount /system/sd
e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

And lastly, I would nandroid back up my phone.

After that, I installed the 1.6 build (wiping first of course). I'll give it a second try later tonight at work. Maybe I did something wrong along the way.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Perhaps man ... but perhaps not ... your feedback is usually pretty solid man. So do let me know (actually I know you will ;) )

Thanks.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
Thanks man. I would give it a 2nd try now but I have to head out and need a working phone haha. Hope you're up late tonight :cool:
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi VGPOP,

Sorry ... almost missed this post ... in short ... the TMO build's are the official T-Mobile builds... they are cupcake based.

The HTC ADP is donut based (now) ... and likely has a few more features.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] koolmick:
I didn't have any problems flashing the base rom or expansion pack, but I got a few force closes especially with the htc ime keyboard, and I wasn't able to download some of my paid apps...is there something I can do to remedy downloading and istalling the paid apps?
[G1 Android Development] VGPOP:
I haven't checked the website in 2 months and I've been out of touch forever.

I just flashed HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROM, and this is a GREAT improvement! (There was a force close in the home page at the beginning)

The market looks way better. I like the google search bar.

This is very good. I am still looking around.

When did they release it? 1.6?

UPDATE: Paid apps are not downloading.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
They released either early today (or late yesterday) ... not sure ... but at some time when I was asleep and not watching ... lol.

Hi koolmick,

Yeah .. this could be related to a permissions settings ...

Perform the following ...

Reboot into recovery ... goto the console (Alt+x) ... press <ENTER> to get to '#' prompt ... then enter the following commands ..

mount system
mount data
mount system/sd
fix_permissions
umount -a
reboot

This will fix any permissions issues .. and reboot the phone ... that outta do it man!

Give that a shot and let me know!

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] bubonik:
Any plans on responding to my pm?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea man ... momentarily ... I usually respond to PM's slower.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] VGPOP:
I can't download paid applications. Any way to fix this?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi VGPOP,

Yea I just got my hands on a buddy's phone ... certain "paid apps" aren't downloading properly ... I'm working on a patch ...

Some are working ... some are not ... I believe the Market is blocking request's from DRC83 ... testing out some potential fixes now.

Will post back.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] koolmick:
Thanks for the response and suggestion, but tonight's not my night. Still couldn't dl and install some of my paid apps...I'll just go back to the tmo Rom you have until I figure out if I'm doing somethin wrong...
[G1 Android Development] gleemer:
Confirmed wifi not working on mt3g with expansion pack.
[G1 Android Development] Deejaydark:
Wow

Awesome job on this :) but one thing that i have notice just by fooling around with it is that the camera and camcorder dosnt work. I keep getting force closes on them. No rush really just thought i bring it to your attention just incase you havnt notice. But again i have to say i think im sticking with this :) (i really dont see to need to switch to another). Keep up the good work bro.
[G1 Android Development] lotherius:
Does this release have the new Market? Or has Google quashed any attempts of that successfully?
[G1 Android Development] gietl:
I have the same issue. I find this ROM to be pretty fast, I like it. However, lots of force closes. Every tried the permissions fix to no avail.

I was running CM 4.0.4.

I have wiped, installed the ADP 1.6, failed when it came to the expansion pack. Killed the partitions on my sd card, rebuilt them. wiped, installed the ADP 1.6 again, hit the market and downloaded an app, installed the expansion pack. Same issues.

I noticed I have quick office and PDF viewer? Both seem to force close as well or give a launcher error.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea ... I'm starting to find several things (which are just crammed into the exppack from the TMO builds) aren't functioning now. Loooking into it though.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea Deejaydark,

Thanks for pointing that out ... there in lies the "compelling 2.6.29 kernel" move I've been waiting for ... def a kernel issue interfacing with the libs.

So another release will be out to address that too.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] jenol:
wifi issues on mt3g

enomther:

just so you know expansion pack went well the only problem im having is the wifi unable to start
[G1 Android Development] gietl:
And I didn't say this before...Thanks! I know I appreciate all the effort you and the other ROM cookers are putting into these. Makes owning a G1 a lot of fun.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Did you make sure to grab v1.8.4.1 of the exppack ?

v1.8.4 had a boot parsing issue that prevented wifi start.

Just to confirm.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] jenol:
just checked and im using v1.8.4.1 expansion pack
[G1 Android Development] Jdom58:
Hey enom what's cooking he he no pun intended :D

Just installed after reformatting card and ext2/3 and wipe. I had the camera and video working fine before adding the expansion pack, now after FCs for both, QuickOffice and PDF also FCs. I also have the same problem with the WiFi being unsuccessful to connect.

Hope this helps
[G1 Android Development] jenol:
same here with my device
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
All I can say is ...

EPIC FAIL!

on my part ...

Several things need to be fixed ... camera issues are know ... PDF & QO will be "removed", shouldn't be there anyways (leftovers from the TMO build) ... still premature (expansion pack wise ... like I said ... epic fail)

There shouldn't be a wifi issue though ... did you make sure you had v1.8.4.1 exppack? Either way ... it's premature atm ... that's obvious.

damnit! LOL

Update tomorrow sometime ... new kernel, etc.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] jenol:
good to hear i will restore my nandroid till issue are fixed good job though bro.

back to cyanogen 4.0.4
[G1 Android Development] Jdom58:
Ok so I can go with base rom for now and update expansion tomorrow or whenever it's ready?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea you could definitely do that ... the base is stable (as far as I can tell) ... just lacks many root features is all.

Hopefully get these few issues tackled ... I updated the OP with a warning about the camera issues and the FC'ing apps.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] dta1974:
Don´t worry enom,as usual you are doing a great job,so just take your time and don´t get overwhelmed with this.I am sure you have other things to do.

Thanks again. ;)
[G1 Android Development] gietl:
So this is going to sound crazy, not sure what I might have messed up, but apps are not storing to SD card. Storing on phone. Or is that not part of this (1.6)?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey dta,

Yea no worries man ... you know me ... I just wish it could be perfect the first time around ... but if it was ... no1 would have anything to post about ... as usual LOL

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
did you load the expansion pack also? The HTC rom alone does not do auto apps to sd.
[G1 Android Development] gietl:
ah, ok, that's it. I did the expansion pack earlier, but because of some minor issues with it I opted to not install it this time. Sorry for the false alarm. I am waiting until the little fixes are in place for the expansion pack.

Thanks for the reminder!
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
i ended up using parted and recreated my partitions, then upgraded to ext3 and now the expansion pack is working. Only issue is protected apps wont load but i think thats already known.

for anyone who needs instructions on how to wipe their sd card and recreate partitions I found this walkthrough posted in another thread

From the recovery console: (note for this rom you only need the fat32 and the ext2/3 partition. not the linux swap so adjust your numbers accordingly)

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with. Mine was 8166 read below if yours is different)

rm 1 (if you had more than 1 partition you would want to rm them as well)

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7622

mkpartfs primary ext2 7622 8134

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 8134 8166

quit

upgrade_fs

for those of you who just want to wipe your ext partition use the following from the recovery console

# mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

# cd /system/sd

# rm -rf /system/sd/*

# reboot recovery

then install the expansion pack
[G1 Android Development] Jdom58:
Hey just reloaded the base dount rom again and I can confirm wifi not working yet with or without exp pack

edit: Pagin I did all that and excluded the linux swap, actually haven't used it in a while and at least for me camera/video and wifi not working with the expansion. Without it just wifi not working.
[G1 Android Development] gietl:
wifi is working fine for me with the base rom.
[G1 Android Development] Jdom58:
Yeah I now it seems to be working for some and not for others :confused: I had it working fine when running 4.1.11.1 which was donut also, not sure if that may help

Oh well back to the official TMO I guess I really need my wifi
[G1 Android Development] hazeline:
Great!

Nice Donut you have, i love it. However it has a few bugs here and there, the power control widget wifi status is not updating itself. The calendar widget could not be loaded. Thank You for sharing the experience of Dounut with us, i look forward to your further updates. :)

I am not using expansion pack, just the basic stock. Is it possible for you to add a extra Singapore locale?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
That's strange indeed ... no good reason your wifi shouldn't work with the rooted base.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
i have a few questions about the new donut ROM.

Does it have apps2sd? also, is there a way to do it without wiping all the data? cause i have about 90 apps, it'd definitely be a pain reinstalling all of them.
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
there is a way and i would post the link if i werent so tired and didnt want to look for it. Do a search for "backing up apps" This will either require you to have a file manager like SU File Manager or ADP setup on your pc
[G1 Android Development] BloodyWasHere:
What about the apps2sd?
[G1 Android Development] dipeshb:
HTC Keyboard Issue

I dont know if this issue has been addressed, but I have installed the Donut (EU) and the latest expansion pack. I tried to change the keyboard to the HTC keyboard, I dont like the look of the stock keyboard, but kept getting Force Closes..

I installed the keyboard from Sangeets script and rebooted, and it all works now!!

I have posted here for your convenience.

Just Extract the zip to any folder and then double click the HTCKeyboardInstall.bat. Enjoy.

EDIT - OK, I did not install donut [The OP is a little Confusing on first viewing!], this issue is for TMO OTA CRC37 - EU with Expansion Pack v1.8.4
[G1 Android Development] BrooklynAvi:
Just a TY

Just a thank you post. My father prefers a bare-bones type of ROM and like the look and feel of the stock. He is now enjoying his new Donut ROM. Thanks a lot.
[G1 Android Development] jubeh:
why is there another update.zip inside the expansion pack, was this an error? I can see both (the container and the inner one) are exactly the same except for the boot image (the one on the internal is the same as the one for the rooted base) and the wlan and compcache modules.
[G1 Android Development] yukkio:
+1

I've installed a lot of app into sd. The rom is very fast but without app2sd...

Has it Compcache?

Thanks.

BR.
[G1 Android Development] nk02:
to fix market, just change ro.build.fingerprint in build.prop

for example if you use

ro.build.fingerprint=tmobile/opal/sapphire/sapphire:1.5/COC10/150449:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys

repack the rom, wipe and reflash, the market will work ^^
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
hey Jubeh,

Ooops ... yea ... that would be a "I'm trying to fix something to fast scripting error" ;) ... thanks. ...

All,

Got working v1.8.4.2, fixed Camera, Market, etc. ... Have a lil more testing, will upload in ~ 1.5 - 2 hours.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Nice! Anxiously awaiting that version! :D

(and a compatible theme as well, preferably gchrome :rolleyes:)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
v1.8.4.2 ADP-1.6 released

Hi all,

v1.8.4.2 ADP-1.6 released/posted.

This fixes the previously noted issues ...

Camera/Camcorder

Market Paid Apps

etc...

Enjoy!

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
I'll look into this, not sure how easy this would be.

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

Yes the expansion pack (now v1.8.4.2) has cc and apps2sd.

You must install the expansion to get those features ... the root base is nothing more/less than what HTC distributes w/ root added.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
TY nk02 ... I had actually already isolated the issue ... but none-the-less ... I appreciate you chiming in!

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
hope you can upload the THEMES for these especially the 1 i want

Moonspoon's GlossSuite :D

or

TheOfficial HERO Theme

thanks!
[G1 Android Development] VGPOP:
Dumb question...

I am downloading the expansion pack now with my phone (I am at work and cannot do it over the computer).

Is it really necessary to rename it "update" before flashing it?

With the recovery image from Cy, you can download any zip file, and you don't need to rename it update.

Thanks in advanced.
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
just wanna know

whats the difference of this ROM to

ANDROID 1.6 AKIRAH.2 ROM?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Themes will come soon. Once the dust settles ...!

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yup ... anyzip option in cyan-1.4 recovery === you don't have to name it update.zip.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi cmsweet21,

Hard to say ... I see no official ChangeLog for Akirah's build.

I'm simply updating my already fully maintained HTC ADP builds is all! I have a changelog you can reference against. But I can't really answer for another's ROM, especially when I haven't tested it / no changelog.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
ok thanks, sory with that >.<
[G1 Android Development] yukkio:
Did you include ext4 support?

Thank you.

BR.
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
nvm this post :D
[G1 Android Development] VGPOP:
Thanks! I didn't download pack yesterday because people said it has bugs, so I waited until there were fixed/corrected.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Installed the base, all went fine. Added an APN, went to the Market, entered Google settings etc.

Reboot to flash the Expansion Pack, but phone won't boot anymore.

After a few minutes screen turns completely black. Have rebooted again and after some waiting the screen is now black again. Will wait for a few minutes more this, if it won't work will resort to a Nandroid backup.

This all on a 32B Magic, btw.

[Edit] Logcat is still showing a lot of activity, so I guess some more patience is needed probably ;-)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
You can flash the expansion ontop of the base without rebooting w/anyzip option.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] bolmedias:
I'm looking to either flash this ROM or Akirah's one when I get home. What's the changelog for 1.8.4.1 and 1.8.4.2? It's not in the first posts, that's for sure.
[G1 Android Development] bplay:
I would know too. I flashed Base and without rebooting the extension, didn`t worked. after boot screen just an black screen...
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
ext4 support has been added ...

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

See the "mini changelog" right before the downloads for v1.8.4.2

It's there.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] beagz:
Hey thanks a lot for this. Really fast. Easy to port themes. Thanks. And thanks for fixes. All on mt3g 32b.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Pfeffernuss,

Not necessarily,

Black screen is no good.

You may need to start "cleanly" ... IE: reformat ext partitions, wipe, flash base, flash expasion and then reboot.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] bplay:
Anybody had luck with his "old" apps2sd?

I have a german G1.
[G1 Android Development] bolmedias:
Doh :p

And I guess the 1.4.8.1 log is literally just the addition of Donut :p

ty though, I must be going blind
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Ok ... there maybe an apparrent problem coming str8 from v1.8.4.1 (not sure) yet. Clean install may be in order (as new kernel, etc)

Please give a try.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea beagz,

Mighty welcome ... glad it's working for someone :rolleyes: LOL

:)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] yukkio:
You rock man! Thank you.

One question, I flashed 1.8.4.1 and then (without reboot) I flashed expansion pack. After reboot i got a loop. Should I apply first this update, reboot and then flash expansion pack?

BR.
[G1 Android Development] Pfeffernuss:
Thanks for the answer. Will try again tomorrow, right now I got to go and need a working phone :cool: So Nandroid to the rescue, for now :D
