[G1 Android Development] Alucardis666:
ok we're good now. I finally got kings hero rom to work.

So now I'm up and recovering everything again and putting all my apps back in. Dunno what went wrong but its good to be back up again after about 3 hours...XD
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Yeah I'm using Linux Mint. I don't think I'll ever use anything other than gparted for partitions. gparted is by far the best partition manager.

Also, I give the booting process for ANY ROM exactly 6 minutes after it hits the second screen [the one after the Black G1/Green MyTouch screen] I set my phone down and mark the clock. I have never had success with anything that takes longer than 6 minutes so I would say if it takes longer than that, there is something wrong and its 99% of the time your SDCARD.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
hettbeans,

I have no idea why you can't successfully flash a theme. Other users using the TMO builds are having Zero issues.

Download the theme. Copy it to your sdcard. Flash in recovery like any other ZIP. You do this after fully setting up your phone, as the "last" step.

[G1 Android Development] mikespy:
Question for ya Enom.......What number is ideal for swappiness on your build??? Or should we just toy with it till we find the sweet spot??
[G1 Android Development] RichieDaze:
Since there are many roms to keep up with, you must give this man some time to to locate the problem. Lets say, if hes on a different rom he must flash that rom to locate that problem your having with yours. Can I be of some assistance? Would you like to test my Zelda theme to see if its a rom problem or a theme problem?
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Well I can tell you that it wasn't Ubuntus gparted because I have used gparted for every partition I have made on three different phones with several different ROMs. A very good question is what order are your partitions in? You HAVE to make sure that you have them in the right order. You need the FAT partition [as a primary partition] first no matter what. Right after that you put the ext2 partition [also a primary partition]. Then you put your linux-swap [not for this ROM of course.

If you do this and follow these steps you will be fine, I promise.

1. Format your ext partition [as I explained above]

2. Reboot into Flash Recovery [I prefer Cyanogens 1.4]

3. Wipe

4. Flash the BASE ROM ONLY

5. Boot into the phone and go through the Google set up

6. DO NOT CHANGE YOUR HOME SCREEN OR ANYTHING AFTER SETTING UP

7. I would suggest Formatting your ext partition again but w/e

8. Reboot back into Flash Recovery

9. Flash the expansion pack [make sure its the one that goes to your BASE ROM

10. Boot into your phone

11. Go to Settings > Applications > Development > MAKE SURE USB DEBUGGING IS CHECKED AND DO NOT EVER UNCHECK IT.

If you follow these directions you will be fine, there should be no reason this should not work unless your SD card is just plain broken.
[G1 Android Development] Vlad83:
Hate to be obvious, but how do you expect someone to help you when you ask an ambiguous question like that? Ummm my phone doesnt work, can you tell me why???

As for an acknowledgment, Enom may be busy. He also can not answer every single post, so next time don't be pushy.., and try to retrace all the steps your self. I wiped and reinstalled a ROM 3 times because I thought Superuser wasnt working until I figured out that I had debugging off. How many posts did I demand? 0.

Ok I think it is Roadsync, I did a Nandriod before installing Linda and Roadsync.... sync'd with Exchange, rebooted my phone... wallah.... boot loop....

Restored from Nandriod it works.

Soon as I get time I'll try using a FAT 32 only card install Roadsync and test.... will trying a FAT/EXT3/LS formatted card and do the same thing... hopefully I can narrow it down and be sure...

[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey mikespy,

Yea .. I've been toying with that myself ... I've found 30 to be too conservative ... and 60 at times to be too aggressive ... so ... in my next release I'll likely be settling on 40'ish.

This is of course MHO.

Disable wifi.

$ su
# cp /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.tmp

Then enable wifi, and disable it again. This will create a wpa_supplicant.conf with the correct permissions, including the apparently elusive wifi group.

$ su
# cat /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.tmp > /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

That worked for me. If something is overwriting your custom bits, you may need to do the cat maneuver in the userinit.sh.

Hey anyone care to explain exactly what the AOSP is and how its different from the HTC build [or if it is]

I know what AOSP stands for I just don't understand the difference

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey dumbestcrayon,

In terms of this ROM .. .not a whole lot. In fact this is mostly ~85% still ADP, just with full framework and partial apps from the AOSP. It's only intent was really to enable a more broad lang support.

So other than lang support, it's virtually identical to the ADP.

[G1 Android Development] groucho51:
With all due respect, I posted about this same problem yesterday, in post #2040 and then again today to assure hettbeans that he's not the only one.;)

Enom, have you tried applying the theme to the T-MO 1.6 base rom or have you only applied to the rom with the expansion pack applied?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. :)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
groucho51,

Yes, I've tested the themes on the TMO 1.6 build on my test phones.

That said ... Sorry if I missed your previous post, it happens, my apologies ...

Now that said ... You aren't using the expansion pack? Also, specifically which theme does not work for you?

After flashing Donut TMO-US can't flash gChrome, WHY?

Sorry for post again, but I really like to re-theme my G1. Had it theme with last ROM CRC1-US, now after flashing ROM DRC83-US, v1.6 - base, I can't seem to be able to flash the gChrome theme posted on this thread! :rolleyes:

Someone here told me I was using the wrong ROM, but I don't think so???

Ok, ROM is: TMO OTA DRC83 - US Theme is: gChrome_tmo16_theme.zip

and after renaming to "update.zip" and copying it to SD card, shutting down then rebooting, holding HOME + POWER, then Alt + S, it starts flashing then asked to reboot, but the theme doesn't flash... WHY? :cool:

Thanks to all guys on doing all this for the knowledge and just for fun!!!

Roger! :D
[G1 Android Development] groucho51:
I tried both the Hero and the gChrome themes. Neither one of them will take for me.

I nandroid, wipe, apply the ROM, reboot, test the market (free and paid), reboot into recovery, apply the theme, get through the verifying, then when it says "copying files" it says something about files deleted then I reboot and the stock theme is there.

The reason I didn't want to use the expansion pack is because I don't want to use A2SD at this time and I'm not really into using collections of stuff. If I could I'd install a ROM that has no Google apps or T-Mobile apps, and then install just what I want to use individually.

I've read some posts of yours that mention full customizability and that's what I'm patiently waiting for. The only potential problem I see with that approach might be theme-ing.

Anyways, thanks for your work in making my phone funner for me to use!
[G1 Android Development] coredump777:
Quick question. I just finished setting up my enom 1.6 ADP. I have to wipe to re-flash the new AOSP rom. Can I use the Nandroid backup that is on my recovery image to backup/restore or that would be the same as not wiping the phone at all?
[G1 Android Development] Niggiebro:
Reply to self

I think I remember why!!! Correct me if I'm wrong, but system space places a big factor here right???

I think there was a way to remove the media from the system and change it the work off the SD card, I just don't remember how was done! :o
[G1 Android Development] bubonik:
Themes need the expansion pack for some reason. Try flashing that first.

Isn't there any way to flash this rom without having to wipe when you're coming from ADP 1.6? :o

I just installed my ADP 1.6 with all my apps! :rolleyes:
[G1 Android Development] Niggiebro:
Yeah it was the media trick that did it.

There is an older post on this thread that explains how to do the media trick that removes all the media from the /system/media sd/media on your SD card.

Search for "All themes and RC33". Also search for the media files so you can create a media folder on your SD card and copy all the media files into it.

Installed the AOSP build, languages are all there and working on most of the phone (Setup app is english only, plus some other apps that don't have translations, no big deal).

Unfortunately, the number parsing problem continues. Phone does not recognize the calling number if it is not on the exact format on the contacts. So I have a contact with (04161) xxxx-xxxx and when it calls I only see xxxx-xxxx, not the calling contact. If that could be added to the bug list and solved in the future, this rom would be the perfect one on my opinion.

i thought i remembered this ROM moving the media automatically .. but the commands are as follows:

# cp -rf /system/media /sdcard

# rm -r /system/media

# ln -s /sdcard/media /system/media

if you have the second parition and my script you can:

# lucid -m -sd

Linux-swap : open the terminal emulator and type: free, enter

If you have the exp. pack installed then apps2 sd is enabled autom. when you have a ext3 partition. Looking at 89mb and only 9mb used. You can say its working.

The VSAPP's are some nice widgets and the Java-box

[G1 Android Development] groucho51:
Thanks, N-Bro and Lucid!

Moving the media to the sdcard freed up enough ram to install the theme.:D
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Oh, okay, cool. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
I'm pretty sure at this point that the themes need the expansion pack. Everybody that seems to be having this problem isn't using the expansion pack. Everybody who is using the expansion pack has no issue. I couldn't tell you why but I'm about 99% sure now that you need the expansion pack to use the themes.
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
-If you want to check you can either open terminal and type "free" and press enter or type "mount" and press enter. If you don't know what you're looking at when you type "mount" then its hard to understand but basically look for "/system/sd ext2" which is your A2SD partition successfully mounted. When you type "free" you will see the Swap. If you see that then you know the swap is working [in this ROM its going to be 64m because its not linux-swap, its COMPCACHE and its already set up on the expansion pack] You do not need a swap partition to take advantage of the COMPCACHE because it does not use your SD card, it uses a portion of your RAM as swap space.

-Linux-swap is not set up for this ROM, instead it uses COMPCACHE which, I believe, is better.

-A2SD is by default on the expansion pack and will work as long as you have an ext2 partition

MrMind10,

Currently, the US ROM's statusbar text, can't be themed (b/c of the fully odex'd system) to a different color. Thus, non of the themes have a black statusbar, b/c you can't see the black statusbar text. I'd suggest the ADP build if you really want this functionality w/ the HERO theme. This combination has the black statusbar.

upgrading SD card

I just correctly formatted my SD card for APPS2SD and it is working automatically with the TMO 1.6+mod build. But now I'm considering upgrading to a new, faster SD Card.

Is there an easy way to move the apps back to the phone memory before I upgrade cards? I'm afraid of broken links if the phone is looking for APPS that no longer exist on the new card. (maybe that's not a problem and I'd just have to reinstall the apps?)

Thoughts?
[G1 Android Development] daveerickson:
I have a question about the MyFaves app. I downloaded the TMO-OTA-US-DRC83-Rooted_update.zip file and see that MyFaves.apk and MyFaves.odex are in there. I am running Cyanogen 4.1.999, another Donut rom, and trying to get MyFaves to work. I have copied both MyFaves files to my /system/app folder, but when I reboot the app still doesn't show up.

My understanding is the older version of MyFaves doesn't work on 1.6, so that is why I tried pulling them out of this zip. Am I missing something here?

Also, I seem to need the MyFaves app now. I changed a number online, but it is saying that it is Awaiting Handset Confirmation. So that kind of sucks if I can't set or change myfaves without this app, well if I can't somehow get MyFaves back on this rom.

Thanks for any help or ideas! :)

[G1 Android Development] enomther:
mplspatch,

When changing sdcards ... the easiest, safest way to go would be format the new sdcard, wipe, flash base and reflash the expansion. Then re-setup all apps, etc.

[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
I am pretty sure you can just move the stuff from the ext2 partition onto the new card on the new ext partition and it will be fine. Just make sure that you move EVERYTHING exactly how it is on the old one to the new one. The only way that I know you're going to be able to do this is with Linux because garbage windows can't read ext partitions by default, nor have I found a GOOD way to do it correctly. So if you don't have Linux your only option is to do what enom said..

I actually tried to copy the information with terminal on the phone and it refused to move the information over even with su permission. I tried to copy the ext partition files over to the FAT partition because if you do that you can use windows but it will not do it. So unless you have linux you can't do it, sorry.

[G1 Android Development] daveerickson:
Sorry, not trying to hyjack or ask in the wrong place, figured this was a generic enough request since what it boils down to is getting a 1.6 compatible myfaves app. It seemed like someone may know a little bit about it since it is packaged in this rom.

I have not posted in Cyanogen's threads since he is shying away from any software that isn't clearly freely distributable since the C&D. I have also read other threads and the question of a 1.6 compatible myfaves is around, and I have posted for help there too. Again just thought since it was packaged in this rom I may find help.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi sasa3791,

You need to go into settings ... and select a new default ringtone. Once you do that ... you will be able to adjust the volume.

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

Alright then ... to put it to bed ... in short ... the MyFaves in the TMO build are odex'd against that system fully. Someone will need to first de-odex it and 2nd probably hack the xml or dex slightly in order to get it to work on other builds.

Neither of which I'm about to attempt. So this is why it won't work on other ROM's.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] bmj1086:
Actually it looks like it did it. So I'll give you an idea, you can try it and see if it works, if it does not then I would suggest doing what enom said.

Here you go.....

Open Terminal Emulator and do exactly this

su
cd /sdcard
mkdir extpart
cp -r /system/sd/* /sdcard/extpart/

That should move your ext partition information over to your fat partition.

Its probably going to give "permission" errors but ignore it

Now hook up USB to the computer and mount the card.

Look for the folder "extpart" and copy it to your computer

Unmount

put your new SDCARD in the phone

Mount to the computer

move the "extpart" folder back to your new SDCARD

Unmount

[at this point you should already have your new card partitioned with ext]

Go back to Terminal with the new SDCARD plugged in to the phone

cp -r /sdcard/extpart/* /system/sd/*

reboot your phone

if this doesn't work then you can do what enom said because this is all I can think of.
[G1 Android Development] daveerickson:
Thanks for the thorough explanation. Makes sense why there isn't a version available yet.

It's not something I am capable of doing, so I guess I will have to wait or find another rom to use.

This is your problem. You don't have a rintone set, open Settings > Sound & Display > "Phone Ringtone" and select a new ringtone. Also it looks like you don't have a notification sound set. Open "Notification Ringtone" and select a new one as well. Once you do this you should be fine.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Apps2SD is automatic. To enable compcache, you need to push the a userinit.sh into /system/sd. As for the linux-swap... it's completely unnecessary in this build. I would use parted (in Cyan's recovery) and just create the fat32 and ext3 partitions...then push the userinit.sh over and be done with it.

[G1 Android Development] enomther:
linux-swap, compcache, etc.

Hi jonno,

Good response here from uansari1. I do not recommend using linux-swap either, but you certainly can, just don't make it too large (~32MB). Compcache has a much better performance track record.

As far as the swapper app, you do not need that app on this build, unless you want to create a swapfile. For plain swap this build just uses the system linux-swap, if it exists on partition 3 of your SDcard. Check out post #212 for some commands on seeing if the compcache/swap is working correctly.

Let me know.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
appreciate the feedback dta1974, best of wishes with your experience.

angelghost,

This is a interesting observation. There definitely are some differences between this ROM and a JF build. One question I would ask is if you are now using linux-swap or compcache setup. With the JF-1.51-CRB43 builds, you would not have either feature included by default. Would be interested to know if you elected to one (or both, or none). Please let me know!

~enom~
