JesusFreke drops out from ROM making!

JesusFreke\’s AndBlog

Calling it quits

August 20, 2009

I’ve decided to call it quits on the whole rom making thing. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I haven’t done much work on the rom lately anyway, not to mention the way overdue CRC1 rom that I never got out. I’ll still be around of course, working on smali and hanging out on freenode. But I just don’t have enough interest in doing rom work anymore to continue.

I sincerely appreciate all the kind words about my roms, and I want to again thank everyone who has donated.

If you’re looking for a new rom to try, I recommend cyanogen’s stable or experimental roms. He’s put a lot of work into them, and they have many more features than mine do/did.

Also, If anyone wants to grab my build environment and maintain a “JF-style” build on their own, go for it :) If you need any pointers on how to update the build environment as new official releases come out, feel free to ask (There really isn’t all that much involved in it).

Bluetooth question

I am trying out 4.0.1 right now

GPS works (i can run Waze without problem)

Wifi works (can connect to my WLAN via WPA TKIP)

Bluetooth somewhat works.

It does pair with my jawbone 2. Sometimes I need to key in the passcode, which is somewhat cumbersome (try to bring up soft keyboard before the prompt goes away). On stock ION ROM, it doesn't prompt me for passcode when pairing the jawbone. Any idea how I can remove this prompting from the 4.0.1 ROM?

Another thing that's different from the stock ION ROM is removing bluetooth devices. I have not figure out how to remove it from 4.0.1. Does anyone know to remove paired bluetooth devices, or it's not doable on this ROM?

My first ever custom ROM flash, and used it only for 2 - 3 hours

It does feel a bit faster than the stock ION ROM
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
4.0.2 should be ready tomorrow. Working thru all the issues on the bug tracker.

Regarding bluetooth.. I'll finally have some bt hardware in a couple of days so I can look at some of the a2dp issues.

HTC_IME not working

I can't seem to get HTC_IME to work after installing 4.0.1 . I was using HTC_IME with the factory rom and it was working fine. After flashing, the "Touch Keyboard" option appears but selecting it doesn't activate the keyboard. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling from SD (both through AppManager and adb, both report success in their respective ways). I also tried wiping and flashing again. No dice.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
What BT issues? I listen to internet radio over A2DP every day without issues... Not wiped since 3.4 or something...:rolleyes:

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] Nico de Vries:
Yes I checked that, but the APN is correct.
[G1 Android Development] start_developing:
I'd like to say thank you for all your work. The mod works nearly perfect. When you implement the next phone.apk by cytown it will be exactly what I want. :) Well the browser keeps being slow but that's not your fault. :)
[G1 Android Development] Weerdal:
yes u can

Ive seen post of people asking if the new rom has a setting for more home sceens u have up to five from ur home screen press menu and it will give u extra menus and sub menus check those out u can change number of home screens from there i have a question my self is there any way to stop the apps from eating phone memory everytime i add one it still eats memory from my g1 i have ext2 and fat32 on my card ?
[G1 Android Development] Dbradford:
Ignore me. More research found me a new ROM to try.
[G1 Android Development] Rekna:
To follow up on the syncing issue, I went into manage applications and then the calendar app and cleared the cache and data. For good measure I did the same with the browser. Since then I have not seen the syncing problem.
[G1 Android Development] nukes777:
open up any place where u can type in text then long press the area...then u will get an option to choose touch input or default android keyboard.
[G1 Android Development] rpesigan6:
im having a problem with this. i cannot receive/ send almost half of my text messages. Im currently on the latest radio with no theme. what can be the problem?
[G1 Android Development] Rattamahatta:
Same problem here.

Some text messages get delivered a few hours delayed or dont't get delivered at all. Exactly the same with receiving text messages. This is very frustrating, especially when the messages just vanish.

I first thought this could be a problem of my provider, but using my old SE phone with the same sim card i have not experienced any of these errors.

I use latest CM 4.0.1, latest radio and wiped after flashing 4.0.1.
[G1 Android Development] Nico de Vries:
Fixed the problem now with the "ASTRO backup, Root backup, Wipe, reinstall, restore" fun package. UMTS working fine with v4.0.1 now. Perhaps upgrading from CM3.2 to v4.01 is simply to big a step.

Did anyone ever figure out how to debug connection problems or is "start all over again" really the only known solution here?

v4.0.1 rocks BTW. Many thanks to Cyanogen for maintaining this stuff. Crate of beer is on the way :D.
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
No, you have exactly 5 home screens on default 4.0.1 launcher. The only way to change that is to download and install the adnvaced launcer if you want it customizable.

Apps do need their data, and that goes to the internal mem. No way to change that, that I know.

And please: Punctuation/Capitalization?

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] Shady Gambino:
Did you miss something...? oh wait :rolleyes:

I made it fairly plain what my critiques were while laying out my methods to fix them myself, all while giving praise to cyanogen's efforts. I'd forgotten to mention that I prefer the HTC dialer, but that's neither here nor there.

Next time you attack someone for critiquing your favorite rom, make sure there's reason for it.
[G1 Android Development] dubstar_04:
Thank you

Cyanogen,

I really like 4.0.1 and I felt compelled to make a small donation, hopefully enough to get a beer or whatever.

This community could never thank you enough for all your hard work and dedication, I just hope you can find the energy to keep going and supplying us with these fantastic roms.

Thanks,

Dubstar_04
[G1 Android Development] 3Shirts:
I love this rom like crazy but I have two questions:

The power widget can operate GPS with one touch which is awesome but the hero style GPS widget doesn't. Is there a way you can make it do so in a future update cos I prefer the look of those widgets for my theme?

Also, is there a way to create a homescreen shortcut to the Battery Fuel gauge thingy using BetterCut?
[G1 Android Development] keatliang2005:
i found a funny buy which is the display of contact,

i am using HTC DREAM Singtel

flash with this v4.01 ROM, everything work find but just the contact

ok here is the problem

let's say i got a contact number stored in my phone which is ******** [in local format] named keatliang2005

so i received a text message from keatliang2005

it did not display the name "keatliang2005" instead it display +******** [international format]

when i got a call from keatliang2005 it display +******** as well

but i flash back my original rom [HTC DREAM singtel cupcake 1.5]

i have no problem by displaying contact name while receiving calls or sms

sorry for my bad english i from malaysia .....

hope that i pointed out the bug
[G1 Android Development] CoopZor:
Can i uninstall OpenOverclocker ? or does this ROM needs it to overclock my settings ?
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Yes, a lot of people have been experiencing this too, including myself. Typing the number in the dialer doesn't bring up the contact either after making a call. It just remains as the number you typed out, instead of displaying the contact like it used to do. Cyanogen is aware of the issue. Please check this website before bringing up anymore issues (it may already be in the process of being fixed):

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/list
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Actually leave it installed. Cyanogen seemed to have the settings at 384/245, I recommend setCPU, its has more options than openoverclocker.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
For the hero style gps, contact the original dev to enable the one touch GPS in their application. It has nothing to do with cyanogen's rom itself.

in better cut, add a new shortcut via activity, scroll down and look for Battery Use.
[G1 Android Development] 3Shirts:
Sorry yeah, just realised that widget came from the theme I have installed, not the ROM. Thanks for the help, got a direct link to the battery info now :)
[G1 Android Development] andw-yze:
Wipe, then flash.

Wiping after flash will remove some of the stuff that 401 puts in.

Don't know if that will fix your current problem though....
[G1 Android Development] student.driver:
It shouldn't be. From the first post on the first page:
[G1 Android Development] donutman:
Anyone esle have a problem with contacts gone missing after a few days? Trying to resync contacts from my google doesn't work either.

I have the same exact problem. It sucks because these roms have ran perfect for me. Sucks losing all your contacts. I'm hoping this is a bug and we can somehow magically restore them and are not lost forever.
[G1 Android Development] Deuces:
I definitely recommend everyone having a backup of their contacts (i sync mine to gmail and exported a contacts.csv)

My contacts got wiped out as well about 2 days into 3.9.11.2, and it wiped them from gmail too. luckily i had a backup.
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
That would really really really suck for me and you scared me into making a csv. :eek:
[G1 Android Development] Boomgawd:
Rogers HTC Exchange app

Hey guys, is there any way to add Calendar and Contact sync from the HTC exchange app, I really miss my calendar updates!!
[G1 Android Development] keatliang2005:
oh, ok ..... i don't know there is a bug tracker for cyanogen, this is actually my first flash :p

the link bookmarked, thanks for the link dude........
[G1 Android Development] gerbenvandijk:
superb

Hi there,

I would just like to thank you for this great image, it works good for me.

Just a small remark that would make it even better:

- when you search with the google search widget (via voice and normal text input), the results are always displayed in google.com. I am from Holland, so I would love to see this adjusted according to the language setting the phone has (in my case google.nl).

- also, the im app doesnt work for me. when i log in it says that the phone cannot read my sim card number. any way to fix this?
[G1 Android Development] osho741:
I know this is very off topic but cynogen has pretty much an entire leading article about his rom on lifehacker.com. top of the page on top five reasons to root your g1.
[G1 Android Development] antirock:
I am having the same issue with 4.0.1, my soft keyboard no longer vibrates.
[G1 Android Development] :
no force closes, no problems with keyboard coming from hero rom. Only one concern their is a folder named lost.dir on the root of my sdcard which is empty.....whats it for?

i did search but no solution
[G1 Android Development] antirock:
Come to think of it, I have that same file on the root my sd card as well as a file named compose.trace.

Every time I try to remove compose.trace it pops back up again.

Any info?
[G1 Android Development] k1293:
does this rom enable linux swap automaticly? and if so..how do i edit the settings..what are the best settins for this rom?(im a noobie)
[G1 Android Development] weetabix1980:
I really love this rom, just one question, i prefer the android keyboard over the htc one, but when i select it i cant get it to Dutch. The ultimate thing would be OS language in English and the keyboard in Dutch, is this possible?
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
I guess lost.dir is a linux thing - There's usually LOST+FOUND ain Linux oartitions

trace is prolly beause Cyanogen forgot to turn off trace in one app.

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] :
thanks for the answer good sir
[G1 Android Development] ref1ux:
I've just flashed this and have no 3G signal. It's as if it just doesn't exist.

Any help? Sorry to be a n00b if it's obvious.

EDIT: Doh, just had to set the 'APN' up - I've build tons of PCs but phones are waaaaaayy more complicated, learn new stuff everyday I guess :)
[G1 Android Development] MasterCLC:
When your file system becomes corrupted and needs to be repaired, sometimes files get orphaned. In Linux they traditionally go into a Lost+Found directory, in this case I assume this is the same directory fulfilling the same purpose. The trace file is likely a temp file for when you are typing new text into your phone. Vim creates them for new files before they get written as the text has to go somewhere, and is more easily recovered from a temp file stored on the physical storage than in memory.

[G1 Android Development] chetspartan:
Ditto here, I've cleared the data on Gmail and Gmail Storage from the Manage Applications in settings, but I can not clear cache (it's greyed out). Any suggestions? K-9 email works fine with whatever sync timing setting I put in, but with Gmail I have to open and do a manual refresh.
[G1 Android Development] oldsk00lz:
Okay quick note for those with MMS lag... I saw on the experimental thread that prettyboy85712 mentioned "The latest modified mms.apk from rgv151 fixes the lag issue when sending text. Huge difference."

Looks like debugging mode was on. Here is the actual thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=540651

If you do not have a userinit.sh file, then it enables compcache by default. Otherwise, it will be however you set up your userinit.sh. I have had mine set up to use linux swap as it seemed to be the best performance for me. I have a 32MB partition and using a 20MB swappiness. I'll need to see the latest progress on compcache at some point.

-oldsk00lz
[G1 Android Development] Carloswithac:
Awesome! This fixed my lag issue. if someone could only answer my soft keyboard question I'd be good to go!
[G1 Android Development] animefans:
Newbie error

After I wipe and flash, bluetooth headset (not A2DP) work as before. No need to key in passcode for my jawbone!

Reconnect works fine as well

Still, I don't see a way to delete the paired device. No biggie if it won't be fixed
[G1 Android Development] runderekrun:
Thanks helped my lag as well.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
Working hard on 4.0.2. Sorry it's taking longer than expected. You can follow along on Github if you want to see whats coming.
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
dunno if anyone can reproduce this.

i'm on 4.0.1 and i just used my contacts to get into sending a text to that contact, sent it while keyboard open. as it sent, i tried to close the keyboard and back out of the messaging app to the homescreen. phone locked up on a blurred out landscape of the messaging app for about a minute then rebooted itself, albeit a very quick reboot, but a reboot to the homescrene nonetheless. *shrugz* just thought id mention it
[G1 Android Development] ZilverZurfarn:
No need for apologies. 4.0.1 works well enough (and then some) - Until 4.1 is ready. Just keep your "fan club" posted on Twitter.

/Mats
[G1 Android Development] halfsight:
Wow, this thing is great. So functional and quick. Now I started this whole process like 2 or 3 weeks ago. I am a bit of a n00b for phone flashing. I downgraded and then loaded the jf recovery. Then I got JF 1.51 going solid. Then I read a little more. And then androidandme.com came with the article about the recovery 1.4 image from cyanogen. Then I found the rom database and with a little courage I was able to get all the way to 4.0.1. So I basically have 1 or 2 questions.

1st question is, "How do I know my apps moved to sd? This is my second shot, I did the ext repair thing in recovery mode and it said all good, and I have booted all the way in and I know I partitioned everything correctly. But how do I verify?" Of course I could read through 100 some odd pages to find the answer, but I got schoolwork too.

2nd question is "I noticed that the custom mms.apk was included. Major awesome on that one. However, me and my friend at work noticed that when our SD is mounted to PC we receive a force close on mms. We can get in and see the list of senders, however when we click on the message is when we receive the force close. We are not sure if this is the 4.0.1 rom or the mms.apk. I didn't have this happen on my prior rom with the custom mms."

So basically I would just like to say thanks to the community. You guys hold this all together and myself and many others appreciate your hard work and dedication to the scene.
[G1 Android Development] dirkhh:
Just wiped and re-flashed 4.0.1. Still no dice.

I can install TouchPal just fine. But I cannot get the HTC keyboard.

I have been told before to go to Settings->Locale&text and unselect the Android keyboard, only THERE IS NO SUCH OPTION TO DO THAT. "Android keyboard" is a submenu, not a checkmark.

So when I long-press on an input field I get to chose between Android kbd and TouchPal, but no HTC kbd.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[G1 Android Development] :
i would reformat and flash again - something didnt come thru accordingly
[G1 Android Development] weetabix1980:
I really love this rom, just one question, i prefer the android keyboard over the htc one, but when i select it i cant get it to Dutch. The ultimate thing would be OS language in English and the keyboard in Dutch, is this possible?

anyone? :D
[G1 Android Development] dirkhh:
Doing it the THIRD time worked. I think I may have done wipe-flash-wipe before... saw in another post that that's wrong. Wipe and flash.

Quick sidenote about the recovery ROM (1.4) - don't go into the shell (bottom menu item) if you have no keyboard. There's no way out...
[G1 Android Development] daveerickson:
Pull the battery. :)
[G1 Android Development] JimmyJayCEO:
Everything working fine with v4.0.1. I've been running it since the day it was updated. I flashed the SmorgWhite theme and haven't had any issues. EXCELLENT job on this cyanogen. Keep up the good work and always excited about the next update.
[G1 Android Development] start_developing:
After searching through the forum I'd like to ask you if it really noticeable boosts up the speed and responsiveness when using 4.01 + swap on the g1? If it does which is the right combination? I've heard of some many different methods. Could someone point me to the correct direction? Does using apps2sd on a class 6 card speed up the whole Android experience?

Regards and thank you.
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
What happend to the sub folders and extended hme screens, I can't seem to access this anymore :( 4.01
[G1 Android Development] 4treyu:
How were those long vacations? the advanced launcher isn't there since 3.9.9 xD
[G1 Android Development] bigslanki:
Hey thanks! Vacation has been too long my router went bad so I haven't really been online to stalk the boards....I've been using 3.97 lol
[G1 Android Development] Takshaka:
Well, I am not sure if this is correct or not as I was wondering the same thing myself when I first did A2SD. If you go to Settings -> SD card & phone storage there should be a section titled "SD card Secondary" The total space will be a little less than whatever you allocated to your ext2/3/4 partition on your SD card. When you install an app the available space in this section should remain the same while the internal phone storage stays constant.

This is what happens on mine and I took that as a sign that the A2SD was working. My Available space on internal phone storage has dropped by a few meg since I first flashed the rom though. I wonder if this is due to some sort of cache issue?
[G1 Android Development] 0x1ar:
ok you say this, but where has he said he knows about it or is working on it? It's an annoying bug not knowing who's calling you daily. I'm in the US, running 4.0.1. My phone number formats range from 9092224444,

+19092224444, and 909-222-4444

I have tested all three, and the contacts don't display, just the number. This goes for outgoing (if i dial the number manually) and incoming calls. However, if I choose the contact from my contact list, and decide to dial them, then their contact information is displayed (picture, name, phone number.
[G1 Android Development] NguyenHuu:
if apps are on your sd, it means if u pull out ya SD card, and rebooted, your apps shouldnt show up on your phone anymore, or they will error out if u try to click on them. u can try that to find out i think.
[G1 Android Development] unu$ual:
4.01 realy great rom. Runnig very smooth. Good Job.

One thing I have. I was looking around this issue here but couldn't find an answer.

Can the USB headset issue be fixed? If I plug-in the USB headset the the audio signal does not get onto tho the USB plug. Its a common failure since 1.5.

But can this be fixed, or is there already a work around I didn't notice?

Thanks to all contributers in this forum
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
What you are seeing is normal. Application data and cache' are stored on the phone's internal memory, not the sdcard.

Market Force Closing

I am also having the force close issue. I just switched over from JF 1.5ADP. I used the data wipe before installing the latest stable ROM. Is there a fix for the market force close?
[G1 Android Development] brownbomba:
I had a similiar problem. I went straight to this rom from the latest cyanogen experimental rom without wiping and what I got was several missing apps that came with this rom. All the apps that were located in the data/app/ file, I did not get, which included the HTC_IME keyboard. I fixed it by wiping and flashing again.

One thing though, you must disable the stock keyboard which is the android keyboard located in the settngs/locale/ in order to get the 'touch imput' (HTC_IME) keyboard to work.
[G1 Android Development] badbob001:
The 1X button in the browser is missing. Is this intentional?
[G1 Android Development] dirkhh:
I didn't find that to be the case. As a matter of fact - I still haven't found a way to disable the stock keyboard in 4.0.1. I simply enabled Touch Input and it worked (once I wiped and flashed to actually have the additional apps show up).
[G1 Android Development] Chedderknight:
im having issues with auto rotate, it just sticks in landscape and wont rotate back, a reboot fixes this until an app that uses landscape forces it back again, anyone with this problem? im going to reflash to see if that is the issue.

btw I wiped, formatted ext3 and flashed.
[G1 Android Development] wergeld:
I have started on the complete documentation for this ROM.

Holding off putting it out for the public until the next version (4.0.2) is out.

This will be an ongoing project.
[G1 Android Development] prettyboy85712:
20. My auto-rotate/accelerometer isn't working!

Not really the fault of the ROM, but here's how to fix it: Go into recovery, drop to console, "mount /data", then "rm /data/misc/akmd* /data/misc/rild*" and reboot.
[G1 Android Development] brownbomba:
That is strange that you have not found a way to disable the android keyboard. I had a strange thing happen too when I went form a cyanogen exp. rom to this rom without wiping, I got a keybaord called anysoft keyboard but I did not get the htc keyboard at all. So I wiped/flashed got the htc keyboard but the anysoft keyboard is still there. I have no idea where the anysoft keyboard came from. I dont know how to get rid of it. It is not listed as one my installed apps.
[G1 Android Development] All~G1:
This was intentional... I think it was changed in the updates pulled from Donut.
[G1 Android Development] whitewarrior:
Thanks a lot! Appreciate all of the work you put into the ROMs!
