I have tryed to get this going a few times. It just sits at the HTC screen. I have the G1 with baseband version 62.50s.20.17U_2.22.19.26I. not sure if that helps. I have flashed JF and its now running CyanogenMod v4.0.4 but it says mod version CyanogenMod-4.1.2.1. My phone has been locking up when i try to search for stuff so i am looking to try a new ROM in hopes it fixes that.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi Smithben1983,

In order for this ROM to run successfully. You need to verify ..

1) you're using ext2/ext3 on the ext partition of your sdcard (ext4 is not supported) this will cause a boot freeze.

2) It's highly recommend you clean out the ext partition of your sdcard.

If you don't have a ext partition on your phone, then I dunno.

You can try, wiping, flashing the ROM, powering down. Then remove the sdcard and boot up. If it boots, then it's a problem somewhere on the sdcard.

I put this on my sons mt3g 32b today. It ran fine, then went to theme it and the problems really began. I had a similar experience running 4.0.4. Ran great stock but any theme cause headaches and caused me to re-partition. I had gchrome over this build and his phone would not even ring. Those themers should do more testing, or they will otherwise cause a good rom to look bad.

I have him back now on this rom and the stock theme and its running fine so I'm leaving well enough alone. Thank god for recovery 1.4.
[G1 Android Development] Smithben1983:
yep i had ext4 sorry i missed that part. thank you for your time!

One other thing i just got my g1 replaced and now its not responding to touch along the row where you select dialer,contacts, call log, and favs. when the keyboard is hidden that is. i was hoping its just the rom but now yours is doing it too. any ideas what it could be?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea, this is tru. Themes have the potential to break builds. It's an unfortunate truth.

That said, this is why I am careful to "split" apart "my ported themes" vs. other's work. B/c the themes I ported are "best effort" with ZERO xml edits. This allows the build to continue to operate at full compatibility w/ no issues.

So check out the other themes, the ones I ported. If you're son likes any of those, they should be stable, as they are "my ports". ;)

Just FYI.

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

The only thing I can think of here is the difference between "tapping" and "sliding".

Like in HERO builds, you can "slide" between these selections. In the TMO, ADP and/or AOSP type builds, you must "tap".

I don't know if that helps at all, but it's all I can think of in reference to your description.

Otherwise, I see no legit reason that wouldn't work.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Smithben1983:
thanx again. few last questions what is the differance in Rogers and TMO? also i see that cool widget with the date and the sun on your screenshots. how do i get those? also how do i get a different on screen key board like the one in CyanogenMod?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Main difference between Rogers and TMO, is full exchange activesync support. Can sync e-mail ,contacts and calendar w/exchange.

The widgets & the HTC IME (the fancy keyboard you want) are vsapps, which can be installed by running expsetup after the su command in the TerminalApp.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
Yes, I am learning that the hard way at xda. I used to be a project manager for several software development companies. We had the graphic designers and code bangers separate because none of them could do both very well, and of course neither of them did regression testing at all, I'm sure you know the drill.

Here's a question: Could we take your ported hero theme for theofficial crc1 and change it up some? Would that be easier than porting someone elses?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi jlacy76,

Yea it wouldn't be a huge deal to modify the currently HERO theme. What exactly did you have in mind?

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
The problem I have with the looks of the hero is it's "hoopty". The tab bar for example, is too large and makes no sense from a design standpoint. Just because your girlfriend has a poodle skirt and some pom-poms doesn't mean they should be worn together. It's too much IMO for such a simple device and distracts.

I keep going back to my G1 as a simple looking device. It's black and stealthy and a badA$$. I think attempting to have 3d on a 2d screen just clutters up the device. That doesn't mean it has to be plain, but it needs to be usable and uncluttered in the UI.

I was playing around with 4.0.4 and xrom and my custom wallpaper. I think xrom has the right idea and here is my current screen.
[G1 Android Development] skootah:
Ok nows right thread. Does adp have more launguage supports? Im requiring the Italian for friends.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
No,

The ADP only has US-English.

I could potentially add some more language support. I'll just have to check it out. Currently, my Rogers ROM does support the Italian language.

I'll let you know about the language as I test, but currently Italian is not supported. I will have answers on that soon.

[G1 Android Development] BerNur:
this rom is one of the greatest roms ive tried.. so far my favorite...
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
Just an update. My son is very hard on his phone. I asked him tonight how his phone was running, he said great. He said it has not locked up even though he was tethering, texting, streaming all while talking on the phone. He said he hasn't even done a battery pull in days.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Awesome,

So your son's using the CRC1-US ? right ?

Asking b/c of the themes that are upcoming.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
Yes, CRC1 US is from my experience, the most stable of all I've tried here.
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
Enom, yours is the most stable rom on this board and when you get right down to it, what else does someone need in a phone that your rom does not provide? Personally, I can't think of anything and you have been very careful not to over engineer something that works very well right out of the box.

What do I need my phone to do? Dial telephone numbers, tether, apps2sd, gps, play music, take photos and video, browser, email. If it will do that day in and day out without hanging or FC's then it's everything anyone could need out of a g1.

Now that I have been around here for a little while I see some parallels with other computer sites. Let's take the over clocking community, we buy a cpu and push it to as fast as it will go, we overclock our ram, video card, we spend weeks reading reviews and risk stability for a small incremental increase in performance and most of us don't really feel in 99% of the apps we run. We corrupt our bios and have to replace the board, we make our computers noisey or run water blocks and get get countless BSODS trying to get 1 more MHZ. We do all that as a hobby of course because in the real world, we just don't see any real increase regardless of what we spend or what we do and most of us end up going back to a comprise because we need stability above all else.

That's where I am today, after all the rom updates and trying this and that in the last month, I'm coming back to this rom for good. I just haven't found any rom that gives me anything that this rom does not provide.

Bottom line is that I need my phone to work and this one does this very well and the bonus is a few embellishments over stock. Add the outstanding support you give this rom, and unlike others on this board this makes it "the" clear winner for me. Now if we can just make it look better...
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
well said..

i agree, oldies are still better, we just need to make it cool, i mean to make with Vogue :)
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
Well, I think 1.5 is pushing the limitations of this device. If Donut/Eclair does something that cupcake won't and I need that function then fine it's worth a look. But past that, I don't see myself upgrading software unless I

I'm forced to do so on the G1.

I run win7 64 bit, the only real advantage to me is using 8gb of ram. Other than that XP works fine. I jumped because it is somewhat better for what I use in a business machine but the fact is, Win 7 does not do anything that Xp won't.

I see android as windows. You may or may not remember windows 3.0. Shortly after 3.0 it went to 3.1. I see that as Android 1.0 to 1.5. We needed 1.5 like we needed 3.1. Xp was better, Vista was a bust and now it's windows 7 but the fact still remains the most stable Windows OS is still xp 64 built around the 2003 Server kernel. Not only is is faster than win 7 it's server software so stability is everything. I'm not saying it's more stable than Unix, just for a windows platform it works as advertised.

There are things we need in android. Flash player, the ability to close an app when we are done with it. Past that, I'm not sure what else we need in a mobile handheld phone device. I see most of the limitations to the G1 in hardware, not the software. One of these days, we'll have the hardware and that jump will make sense but I do think 1.5 pushes the limits of the G1.

The G1 is what it is and I think we all agree, it's not very well thought out from a hardware standpoint. Having custom roms like this one here "helps" overcome some of these limitations but even then it's still lipstick on a Pig while we wait for the hardware to catch up...

gmail not syncing

just an fyi in case someone else runs into this issue.

my gmail was not syncing today and would give a "network error" message. i deleted the gmail cache and then everything started working again. no clue if this is normal but i would think that the os would automatically clear the cache if it was causing email not to sync.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey onyonees,

Yea, this can happen from time to time, on pretty much any ROM that I've seen. Always a good idea to clear cache, when a certain app is having issues.

Okay the reason I post this here is because I think you guys (esp. Enomther) are the brightest and most helpful. Yes I am a lurker and a learner....anyway...here's the deal...I had some pics in a folder on my sd root the folder was called .sepic the period was to hide the folder from the gallery and camera apps.....they were private pics....well they are gone....the folder was modified like @ 3 am...i did not do it...uhoh....is there anyway i could have an app that allowed someone to remote access and "steal" my pics???they were very private....i do use wifi at home but my router is pretty secure.... I think....any ideas....

ooh ooh I know this...(raise my hand)....this happens to me quite a bit...esp when I am sending a rather lengthy email...it gets stuck in the outbox...i just copy the text....delete it...refresh...then paste into a new email..usually works first time...thats all.....
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
I dunno man. No tellin what happened. But sure if enable remote access to your G1 or install some rogue app, anythings possible. But I wouldn't know where to begin as far as the possibilities.

If you have an sdcard reader you could try loading up your FAT32 partition is an undelete utility.

This sound pretty cool and would be easily added to the expansion pack. I will perform some testing on this, it may be worth wild. :)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Been using TheOfficial since an hour after I got my myTouch 3G home, but wasn't happy with the ringtone delay (which I understand is endemic, and not TheOfficial's fault) but I plugged in ScriptScheduler , which came out of the same thread as Mike Taylor's script, and it's made a huge difference in interactivity. No one has called me today, though :-/

I've also been reading a lot of good things about BFS with respect to both UI response and the ring delay, but I suppose major kernel patches take us off the "TheOfficial" train somewhat.

Keep up the good work!
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yup,

This will def be looked into. As far as BFS, that's much more unlikely. Not b/c (persay) of "TheOfficial" train, but more so b/c known issues exist in the version of kernel required for BFS. So it's not as stable and hardware friendly. I choose stability and besides from my testing, BFS is only a VERY minimal improvement over the performance of the current kernel in use.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Fair enough. If you do go mucking about with app priorities, I'll be happy to test, obviously removing ScriptScheduler first. I'm running compcache+linux-swap+the frequency scaling mod in expsetup, if it makes any difference.
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
Here is the original thread on this ring delay. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=558419

I agree it would be a good place in the expansion pack. It appears to be a priority issue and it's been said that using an mp3 ringtone makes matters worse. What's not clear to me is if it's a network or rom specific issue but might be worth a test for theofficial.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea def,

I've already tested and it appears to definitely be a worth wild venture. So it's probably 80% chance it will be in next release. Just going to keep retesting it.

I modified the script to fall better inline with the current (and future) of the expansion pack.

So progress, :). Great suggestion, thanks.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] jlacy76:
I'm sure you saw this too. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4511181&postcount=1

This appears to restart this script at intervals to ensure the phone app is a top priority if I'm reading the thread right.

Another idea for the expansion pack is including the Meltus audio hack. I'm running v6 and it seems to really help my volume. My g1 is as loud or louder than my sons MT3g now. I "think" I read that Manup and Cyan may be including some form of the Meltus hacks in their current builds.
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
Q?

i noticed the 1.7.1 ExpPack says ADP and not US-CRC1 .. does this matter?

also .. any ill effects reported using the CRC1 versions on a COC1 myTouch?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi LucidREM,

No the name does not not matter. Previously the expansion packs had "TMO OTA" in the name, which wasn't entirely accurate, as they applied to the TMO and ADP builds. So going forward, they will be named "TMO ADP", to make it a little clearer that the expansion pack will apply to the ADP build as well. This is b/c I had a few ADP users question me as to where the "ADP" expansion pack was located.

As far as COC10 vs CRC1 on the myTouch3G, nothing but rave revues from those who use it. No known issues, other than the fact that you must download "Better Terminal for Magic" from the market in order to use expsetup. That's about it.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
Better Terminal

sweet .. i just used the Recovery Flasher and RAv1.2.1G on the myTouch with your US_CRC1 and it was a beautiful transition .. root .. no wipe .. no loss of data etc

the script does not currently update .. also .. it doesn't exist unless the second partition gets created .. so i'll work on changing the script to go to the expstick

Hey LucidREM,

Well, I still would like your script to work across ALL ROM's!!!

Is there anything I can do to make it update normally ?

Please let me know.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] LucidREM:
Script Update

so i modified the script .. pretty simple to use now .. you can throw it into the expstick and anyone else can do this:

# lucid -u

# cd /system/sd/expstick/bin

# cp /system/bin/lucid lucid

# rm /system/bin/lucid

# cp lucid lucid.lib

# lucid -u

hypothetically this should fix it all .. it's now working for me anyhow
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
So how would I make it more "automated" ... stick lucid in /system/bin ?

If this will help I'd like to incorporate it in v1.8.x ... which I'm putting together as we speak.

just to confirm .. you only need to flash the latest ExpPack and not the full featured when you already have TheOfficial on your phone .. yes?

the advanced launcher is an optional vsapp, right? Because I don't want it :p

edit: I don't want it because I don't like the 5x4/6x3 app drawer.
[G1 Android Development] axlastro:
Everyone who wants Advanced Launcher by default.

Step 1: Download Advanced Launcher Replacement v16

(these are slightly modified by me as I wanted to have either the stock drawer

or the xRom-ish one)

Step 2 (Thanks Enomther) :

Copy one of the launcher.apk in sdcard

in recovery or terminal with su and rwsystem :

mv HTCLauncher.* /system/sd

mv AdvancedLauncher.* /system/sd

(mv if you want to keep them, rm if you don't)

cp /sdcard/HTCLauncherv16.apk /system/app

if in recovery reboot if in terminal, just press home (I recommend in recovery)

If you get stuck on HTC boot screen just go back to recovery and push back the files you hopefully moved to a safe location :)

Thanks for the great build and support!

*ps - if any of the devs should feel his work is not used properly and according to copyright laws I will remove the attachments.

EDIT Oops. Wrong thread :) I thought it was the Rogers rom thread. Nevermind, it should work for this one too, maybe just change the name of HTCLauncher.* to Launcher.*
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey DOHCtor,

The advanced launcher is included (not vsapp), but it's optional to use it. Meaning it does NOT replace the stock launcher. Once you install v1.8.4 and you press the "home" key it will prompt as to which to use.

I had to include it, as I'm tired of posted theme cyanogen launcher seperately and the advanced launcher is finally ready for prime time IMHO.

So if I include it in the build, I can easily include it in themes. If it was a vsapp, then I wouldn't be able to include it in themes. I hope you can see my delima there.

:)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
enom,

Thanks for including Advanced Launcher in this build. It's working great.

Along those lines, since I had previously installed the cyanogen launcher, and that launcher apparently causes problems with wipes, is there any way I can undo that, so that when TheOfficial TMO goes to Android 1.6 and I have to flash a new base ROM (am I getting that right?) I am less likely to screw it up?

This ROM is an impressive effort and the support in this thread is astounding. The updates in 1.8.4 are great--good work on the process priorities, by the way.

Patrick
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi olearyp,

Yea, the cyanogen launchers caused wipe issues (not cyanogen's fault - it's a testkeys issue). Soon I will remove all of those themed cyanogen launchers, as I get the themes updated with the new advanced launcher.

As far as cleaning up past usage of the cyanogen launchers ... yes, flashing the new base ROM and then the new expansion pack (or just the FullFeatured ROM), will reinstall the stock launcher and resolve any potential future issues in relation to launchers.

I can assign my custom ring tones.. they play when I assign them.. however they DO NOT work when I receive a call.

[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that it was cyanogen's fault. Last time I tried to flash FullFeatured (accidentally, I had meant to just get the 1.7.1 expansion pack) I couldn't boot and had to recover from nandroid, but it wouldn't hurt to try again. Thanks!

EDIT: I just reflahsed, and forgot what had gone wrong. It boots fine, but attempting to use the stock launcher causes android.process.acore to FC repeatedly as it tries to load up. This doesn't happen with AdvancedLauncher. I might try wiping just to see if that fixes it.

EDIT EDIT: The wipe did fix the acore FCs, and with the magic of auto-Apps2SD it didn't hurt too badly, so I think I'll just stick with the post-wipe state and work on getting my setup back into the right condition. Then I'll nandroid again :-)

EDIT EDIT EDIT: I was wrong about the utility of Apps2SD here; I ended up reinstalling all the apps anyways, since they were mostly either broken or thought they had updates available. Oh well. Back up and running.
