Do i have to install everything? Can i just install the Base rom and the expansion pack? and no (resources and VSAAPS)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi MrMind10,

You do not have to install any resources or vsapps ... only the base + expansion pack are really required for good functionality.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
I have JACHeroskiv2.2 on my G1, do I just go into recovery mode and select update? Or do I have to reset then update?

Oh yah, this is for the Dount update.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi aad4321,

Download the TMO rooted 1.6 base ... download the expansion for TMO 1.6. (v1.9.2)

Reformat any ext partitions, perform a data wipe, flash the rooted base and then flash the expansion pack, reboot and done.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] qwerty3656:
I think you are right, the chart is wrong. If you look at the change Log 1.9.1 it say just ADP.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
mylostlonelysoul,

See post above. and ALSO ... read the original post.

Hi guys .. you are correct ... my bad ... I have updated the ROM DB. Oooops ... more leftovers from the CRC builds.

Okay, I went back and read more into it, but I want to keep my hero rom on here, so would I just install the expansion pack? I'm just a little unclear about this?

I'm kinda new to the whole rooted scene.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
mylostlonelysoul,

Stick with whatever HERO you use ... flashing anything of mine will take HERO away ... not give you donut.

It's one or the other.

[G1 Android Development] mylostlonelysoul:
Alright, thank you very much.
[G1 Android Development] shapinoweno:
installed and everything works great. very happy. but why dosent the screen auto rotate? i cant seem to get it to rotate in any program. any help would be great. i installed your 1.6 with expansion
[G1 Android Development] mgorman:
i just realized that mine isn't auto rotating either.

[G1 Android Development] lbsk8addict:
So i'm kinda confused, does the expansion pack already have Apps2Sd on it?
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Yes, so long as you have a properly partitioned SD card (a second partition formated ext2/ext3/ext4) the rest is automagic.
[G1 Android Development] lbsk8addict:
K thank you. This version actually seems very optimized compared to the last rom i was running ^.^
[G1 Android Development] shapinoweno:
AWSOME i think i am going to have to buy you a beer. i am very pleased, but my home screen dosent look like the one in the screen shot. i take it those are hero icons in the shoot, and also the weather widget how do i get those. thanks again great work
[G1 Android Development] Breach:
This was the problem. Paragon Partition Manager was making the ext drive logical instead of primary.

No more black/blank screen. Thanks.

One more question.. HtcMusic, is it as simple as pushing it to /system/app/ with adb or is there something else that will need to be done/tweaked to make it work?

Thanks for the hard work and the personal assistance.

Rick
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
The weather widget and flip clock are in the widget VSAPP, available from expsetup (download/install vsapps option). The weather widget is giving me problems under the 1.6 build so I'm not using it atm. I've never tried the flip clock. If you want Hero icons, you can try one of the Hero themes.
[G1 Android Development] tengtou:
I always get a force close (process com.htc.android.htcime) force close when I go to settings --> locale & text ---> Touch input settings.

Help?
[G1 Android Development] Technochris1:
This is great, Thanks for an awesome Rom enomther.....

(HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROM)

The only two more things i need for my G1 1.6:

cytown Modified phone.apk

Stericson Lock screen...

:D:D:D:D
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
I'm currently looking into possible ways to make these optional on ADP. Want to try and keep my "optional style" to allow users to easily pick and choose these apps, etc.

Will keep the thread updated on this ... just know it's on the radar!

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

Where did you get the HTC_IME? .... I have only ported it to the ADP build thus far ... Let me know your build and where you got HTC_IME/how you are trying to install it.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] tengtou:
Im on the latest ADP rooted base, ADP exppack 1.9.2, on a MT3G 32B. When I first installed flashed the ROM It kept force closing on me when I go to touch input settings. Then I tried SU Expsetup and installed all the options on VSAPP because I thought that would make the problem go away. It still force closes.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
The HTC_IME comes w/ the ADP build. You do not need to install the VSAPP.

To fix your problem ... uncheck the HTC_IME checkbox ... and use the android keyboard ... open the terminal app .. do the following ...

su
rwsystem
cd /system/app
rm HTC_IME.apk
rm Clicker.apk
cd /system/lib
rm libt9.so
cd /data/expstick/vsapps
rm HTC_IME.apk
rm Clicker.apk
cd ..
rm ep.version
exit
exit

Reboot phone.

Then once booted. Reboot into recovery. Reflash the v1.9.2 expansion pack.

This should reset the HTC_IME.

It's either do all that or perform a "fresh" or "clean" install from scratch.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] tengtou:
When I get to rm HTC_IME.apk it says no such file or directory. Same thing when I get to rm Clicker.apk also.

I am going to do a fresh install.

So when I install VSAPP, I should select all options except the HTC_IME right?

Going to fresh isntall now.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
With v1.9.2 ... it should not even ask to install HTC_IME ... I removed it from expsetup. Also, make sure to say "yes" to the clean prior to install when running the vsapps. It should only prompt for the widgetpack and the java program, that's it.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
I swore I'd never install a theme. Then I saw the app drawer pullout in the screenshot and thought, hey, maybe I should give this a chance. The buttons are a little shiny, but everything else is just sharp. Good call on the port! Sig updated :-) Have to register for a new forum now so I can thank brandenk.

EDIT: D'oh, I activated my account for AllDroid from the phone, which opened the browser...which isn't Loccy's anymore! That's a deal breaker (I need me some multitouch and no zoom buttons which always seem to cover the link/button you want). Is that fixable?
[G1 Android Development] FotoJesse623:
So I am having a strange issue. When typing in the "to" field while composing a text message if i select a recipient from the drop down it will add them twice, thus sending 2 txt msgs. I am having this issue on both the ADP and TMO 1.6 builds. If I switch to your Rogers or any other Rom this does not occur. I have wiped the phone and my ext (I am using RA's 1.2.2 recovery). This occurs with just the base and also when I add an expansion pack. I have even gone back and completely repartitioned my sd card and re-downloaded the ROM. I do have 3 partitions on my card dunno if that has anything to do with it. Any suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
ooooooops! lol

Yea bad me! ... my bad man ... Forgot to throw loccy's into the theme, uggh.

I will repost tomorrow ... in the meantime you could workaround ... copy Loccy's BB to your sdcard as Browser.apk, then in terminal...

su
rwsystem
cd /system/app
rm Browser.*
cd /sdcard
install Browser.apk /system/app
exit
exit

Sry 'bout that.

NP, man, appreciate you posting the manual fix--works a treat. Now that I see how it's done I think I can figure it out in the future :-) Just didn't want to flounder around the first time (though I did nandroid before theming so I'd probably have been OK). Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] tengtou:
Ok Im on fresh install now and it doesnt force close anymore. But I dont see any difference in the keyboard. I understand its supposed to look like the one on the Hero roms? It still is the default google keyboard. Keep in mind on my MT3G 32b.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
That would be really awesome. I have been using that one for a long time and when I switched to your ROM I was like "NOOOO :(" lol. It looks so much better and up to date.
[G1 Android Development] tengtou:
Now after I have installed VSAPPS, when I reboot the phone and it comes on to the home screen I get two force closes. com.message.android and com.phone.android.

[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Hey, also about the theme. Since its ported and the lock screen isn't the same [and I assume its because it can't use the xdoc or whatever its called] would it be possible to make the lock window look more fitting to the gChrome theme? Like white border, gradient BG. I was looking through the theme and I didn't find that anywhere in there. Since I'm a noob themer if you'll show me/tell me which png it is and where it's located, I'll make the image for you to help you out. I looked around and I couldn't find it in the theme.
[G1 Android Development] tengtou:
This is keeping my phone from being able to access messages. It will force close right when I open messages.
[G1 Android Development] tengtou:
Ok, I redid another fresh installation and everything went well now except the HERO looking keyboard, I cant get it to look like that nor get it into compact qwerty or phone qwerty.... Im not sure why the two first installs was corrupted...
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
tengtou,

Did you make sure to turn it on in Settings-> Locale & Text -> uncheck android keyboard and check "touch input" ?

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] tengtou:
There is no option for me to check or uncheck android keyboard and touch input.

It just looks like this

Select Locale

Touch Input

Android Keyboard

User Dictionary

That is it. No checkboxes on the list or in any of the sub categories.
[G1 Android Development] Brutal-Force:
It has been a while since I formated my ext and I have forgotten how.

Search for "ext partition" yeilds too many non valid answers :(
[G1 Android Development] tengtou:
Here I took this from another thread.

Formatting you SDcard

You only need to do this once folks..if you already have 3 partitions including linux-swap move to step 2

You need Recovery image 1.31 to do this folks!

To format card SD card with linux-swap WARNING!!! this will reformat you entire SD card!!

You can use the recovery console and parted to format SDcards with 1.31 folks, no more going through hassles you have the tools on you G1!...here is an example of how to do this in recovery console using parted. DO NOT USE MORE THAN 32MB SWAP!!!

Example for 8GB card (this example plays it safe and will leave a small amount leftover regardless of the 8GB card)

Reboot and enter recovery

Enter console

#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

#print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)

rm 1

rm 2

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7200

mkpartfs primary ext2 7200 7700

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 7700 7732

#print (to verify we have the 3 partitions)

Example for my 4GB card

#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

#print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)

rm 1

rm 2

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 3420

mkpartfs primary ext2 3420 3932

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 3932-3964

Example for a 2GB card playing it safe

#parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

#print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)

rm 1

rm 2

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 1200

mkpartfs primary ext2 1200 1700

mkpartfs primary linux-swap 1700-1732

"End?" you need to place the last value for the linux swap eg.3964 for my 4GB card

#print (to verify we have the 3 partitions)

Next we need to "quit" parted and upgrade our ext2 partition to ext3

#upgrade_fs

Swap value is set to 30 currently, you can change this by modifying the "echo" value for swappiness in the a2sd.sh script

For a longer more detailed parted turorial read this
[G1 Android Development] Brutal-Force:
I just want to format the ext partition, not the whole card. :(
[G1 Android Development] DOHCtor:
Hey Enom, is there any chance you can add netfilter to the base rooted TMO US rom? My brother is like me, he just wants a stock rom with root access and tether. If you're going to do it, I was wondering if you can add busybox as well :D
[G1 Android Development] daddycat31:
which themes run smooth on the donut drc83 rom? i searched but didn't really find ant good themes for this one...
[G1 Android Development] terence_oh:
Did you try to just remove and remake the ext partition? as in

rm 2

mkpartfs primary ext2 1200 1700

PS Back up your SD Card to your PC first

Then you must have missed Post #7, which catalogs and links to all available themes for each of enom's builds. Or you just don't really like any of those, which is fine, but yeah, Post #7.
[G1 Android Development] bluecluenj:
Hi. The ROM runs beautifully. The only weird thing I am noticing is that an unusual number of applications seem to self-start and run in the background, slowing things down. I didnt notice this on my previous ROMs that I have run, usually 3 or 4 things are running. With this build, I can reboot, or just let the phone sit for an hour and come back to a dozen apps all running in the background, many of which I didnt even start. Any ideas/suggestions? I run it on a MT3G
[G1 Android Development] MrDva:
That didn't work for me either... no options to check or uncheck...

This however did work

(I am running ADP_Base + EXP + Hero Theme) I did not install vsapp.zip or any HTC_IME.APK .... the instructions below worked.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4673409&postcount=53

"1. Go to any place you can input text, like the google search tool.

2. Tap on that to bring up the keyboard.

3. Press and hold the text area (where the cursor is blinking).

4. A dialog should pop up, press Input Method.

5. You should be able to choose between Android and Touch Input.

You can go back and change this whenever you want using this method. So far as I can tell you'll want to switch to the Android keyboard whenever you go into the terminal because the Touch enter key doesn't work there for some reason."

P.S.

After reading at least 100 pages of XDA, searching google and XDA.... I could NOT find a vsapp.zip or anything close to download.

Are you going to be releasing any updates to this ROM any time soon? Or is it pretty much going to stay where its at?
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
Thanks for answering my questions Enom, loving this rom, fast and stable with nice additions. :)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi bluecluenj,

Yes ... when you run compcache with such a large amount of available RAM ... many apps will tend to stay memory resident ... pay close attention to those that do ... if your phone lags ... there's likely an app that's memory resident that should not be.

Unfortunately too many app dev's depend on the memory shortage of the G1 to force out apps when memory resources run dry. By enabling compcache, plenty of RAM becomes available to apps, thus android no longer forces apps out of RAM. Certain apps are not written to close properly on android, relying on the "force out", which doesn't occur when compcache is enabled.

You have (2) options if you are experiencing lag ... (1) find the app that is causing the issue and get rid of it. ... or (2) disable compcache and go back to complete stock memory management in which poorly written apps are forced out of memory when memory is used up.

~enom~

No I will not be releasing a stock ROM w/just busybox + netfilter ... however, if you quest for the "perfect ROM" ... I think you and you're brother will find my next update very pleasing ... as it's back to the "very essence" this ROM began on!

Options, options, options. B/c the "donut" bomb was dropped on me w/out much warning ... I had to rush in several features ... in the next release you'll see a regression of built-in features ... and the addition of more "optional" features.

Thus, in the next release you will be able to easily scale down (or back) my ROM to essentially what you are seeking.

(Like the good ol' CRC1 days ... ya know?)

~enom~

Is there a way to make HTC Sync work with this, or any other, Donut Rom. I tried the ADP version and installed HTC sync. But it did not work.

Sorry, I don't remember the error that displayed. I had to revert back to a Hero rom to get sync working again. I'll try it again tonight. Your Rom seemed pretty snappy and I'd like to give it more time, but I have to have HTC Sync. I refuse to sync my data through Google.

Only time Wifi should not be working is when you are using the MT3G (sapphire-32B) w/out the expansion pack 1.9.2.

[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
I think this came up a few pages ago. There's no fix per se, but I'm guessing that you have numbers in your contacts without a country code or area code, and the phone isn't putting two and two together. As a temporary solution, or if like me you're neurotic, the Contacts Clean-up app on Market will reformat all your numbers to be consistent with any of several standard formats, and should get the phone to recognize the caller.

As someone formerly in the Atlanta area, where all phone calls have been 10-digit for many years, I'm quite used to putting area codes in all the time anyways.

Enomther;

Great Rom - If you are looking for options for your ROM, please consider the dialer here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=539752

I installed your ROM on my wife's phone and her only complaint was that the dialer did not have the Vibrate on Hang-Up option.

EDIT - In reading the changelog on the BLUR theme, this dialer is suppose to be there. I installed the BLUR theme, but do not see the VIBRATE ON HANG_UP OPTION?

EDIT2 - In looking around some more it looks like Cyanogens' version in 4.1.11.1 works better with DONUT. Does anyone know how I can get a copy of that PHONE.APK?
