Is there a way to get the ringers and notification sounds from 1.3 to 1.4?
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Yes.. you can extract them from the v1.3 rom's zip file and put them on your sd card in a folder called ringtones. They should then show up as an option. You can also do what I do and take that one step further by using terminal emulator to delete the current audio files from their respective folders and then copy the files you want over.
[G1 Android Development] xOneSainTx:
Thanks. I just extracted the files from the v1.3zip. I new to the whole rom thing. I really like the xRom the best out of the ones I've used.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
We were all new at one point... stick around these forums and read.. you'll pick it up pretty quick. ;)
[G1 Android Development] namsir:
is this rom the fastest? compare with cm i got lags when txting....
[G1 Android Development] xOneSainTx:
I got the whole flashing a rom thing down and rooting it. I love the G1 and these forums. I check it constantly for new things!
[G1 Android Development] ThR1LL:
can we get this updated to 16 p lease :)
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
A lot will be done on this next update new features new tricks and all the goods and wont take as long as 1.4 but still no date just be pationt with us.
[G1 Android Development] palosjr:
im all kinds of patient here. im loving the builds you guys put out. stable, fast, awesome battery life, even better looking. keep it up man... well manup lol
[G1 Android Development] ThR1LL:
Did you just feel like saying that bc it was you 1k post? Lol jk
[G1 Android Development] Shimaonari:
Strangely

Today morning at 8% battery on latest xROM 1.4 my beautiful G1 lost his GSM operator/network and when i wanted to pick it manually all i got was the message that "SIM card does not allow to this operation". Thankfully phone reset repaired this. Is this some kind of undocumented feature that disables phone at low battery or may i consider this a bug?:)
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I'd love to hear the answer to this.
[G1 Android Development] kevns:
welcome back jac

With that said I love all the mods u made to this rom.

Now to the reason I'm writing.

First off can somebody tell him how to log of when an app force closes ?

2. When I'm in text messages an I go to signature an tryin typing something then turns my phone side ways I gets fore close all the time.

3.when I'm usin the soft key pad a lot of times its laggin and takes a while to respond

4.the signal, for some reason it lower then normal in my house I used to get 4 bars now I get bet 2 an 3

That's all.
[G1 Android Development] dipeshb:
Hey cyanogen, curious as to your Hmmmmm response.. and the one above, I could be wrong, but do you feel too much of your hard work has been ripped?
[G1 Android Development] jl1030:
awesome work JAC, loving the rom,

but can u please implement the flip clock widget without the weather? and we can push through terminal? :)
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
I encourage others to take what I'm doing and use it (and the work that others are doing, like trying to decipher this whole frequency scaling debacle).. The goal is to improve the overall Android experience for everyone, that's what open source is all about. And Manup's theme is very good. I hope JAC contributes back. And maybe comes up with his own disclaimer :)
[G1 Android Development] :
cant do a logcat at the moment but few bugs/errors....

but when checking my voicemails the dialpad freezes.. i gotta flip out the keyboard and navigate from there. couldnt get wifi to pick up network showed "not in range but remembered" i was directly in front of it lol
[G1 Android Development] I7oobie:
I only see the standard widgets, how do you get the clock with weather, and/or Manup's widgets to show up?
[G1 Android Development] dipeshb:
Sorry for off topic rant, but I am massively gratefull for the hard work the talented devs put into these roms, only wish I had the patience and tech savvy you guys have.
[G1 Android Development] brandenk:
OMG, the battery icon has finally been perfected. I am going to have to put this into Oreo and give you guys some major props! :D
[G1 Android Development] I7oobie:
Hmm, seems like a bad install. Reinstall but no wipe seemed to do the trick.
[G1 Android Development] brady1_uk:
I seem to of lost my root access, was working fine at first.

Now I get asked for permissions and click Always Allow but it basically then just tells me I dont have root..?

Any quick fix ideas to save me from re-flashing

Fantastic ROM by the way JAC, I have been following and installing for months, gotta say very impressed

EDIT ** ///Managed to sus it all out, im now happy again :)
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
if you installed the weather widget donate, then upgraded to v1.1 you will most likely get FC's because i think this rom comes with the free version and it replaces it. go ahead and uninstall and reinstall from the market and you should be good.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
O.k this is the latest added the build.prop to the build so that other stuff wont have to be done,and finally I got HtcMusic working on the build.

Should all be in the next update. :cool:
[G1 Android Development] mikeyman77:
Is compcache enabled by default on this ROM?
[G1 Android Development] kevns:
problem

1.Process com.google.gapps stopped unexpectedly.

2. After about 2 hours on the web it starts to lag anybody else experience that ?

3.when in was on the web and gets a phone calls it will either go to voice mail or shows up on the last ring
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
compache is fully working on this build.
[G1 Android Development] Epoch kW:
First of all, what about keeping the thread on topic is so hard to understand?

Just think for a second, By posting things not remotely related to the development and testing of this ROM you are actually impeding its development. This thread was created specifically to gather feedback, debugging info, ect. If you junk it up with comments about what the weather is like outside or how to install (when it is explained on the first page in complete detail) that is more posts that the dev has to read through in order to gather the information they need to make it better. There is a whole other branch of the forum where you can talk about these things and not make more work for the dev (or posters with a real issue that needs to be addressed).

AND please don't bother responding if your feelings are hurt in some way by this. I'm not trying to be a jerk, I understand we are all excited about this stuff and I will glady shoot the poo with you guys... outside of these dev threads!

That being said, this rom is pretty blazing fast. I'm not completely on board with the skin... for instance the charging icon looks cool on the lock screen but really doesn't translate well to the mini version in the notification bar. Also, the buttons on the search bar widget are WAY too huge. Good ideas for sure, just need a little more tweaking. I was also having an issue with charging. It just wouldn't charge on wall power while the screen was off. The second I unlock the phone BOOM it would start charging again. Don't know if this is has been already reported, I spot checked the thread but after the 17th post about where who bought what sd card where I just gave up and posted.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Have yet to see charging problems and that would not come from the ROM but the phone,and the battery is alway going to be a matter of taste. The theme is solid but there will always be things people don t like that others love it so at that the end itss not a major concern or problem and the buttons on the search bar thats a bit much there fine in my eyes,but if get tons of request to change it I will.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
I took your disclaimer off...I was in a rush to post this up as i was heading out to drink with some friends and didnt have time to type one up that sounded good.

Also I have no need to "steal" anyones work (this is not directed at Cy or anyone in particular), while I do take alot of tips and even parts of Cy's builds at time's build I have slowly recreated it on my own. Cooking my own kernel making my own ROM from source all to get away from people saying oh but this is so much like cy's ROM. I am going out of my way just to make this myself.

I have nothing but respect for you Cyanogen and hope you don't think I'm trying to rip you off...inspired by yes!

Trust me I know how it feels...I'm sure everyones seen the 20 Hero drops over the past months that are literally JACHero with the name changed :( It's all about spreading the love and giving credit where its due. Keep everyone including the community happy.
[G1 Android Development] Deejaydark:
much respect were do...

Just to throw my 2 cents in... i have much respect in all devs work & not once did i think this was robbed from CY's work. If it wasn't for cupcake we wouldn't be enjoying the roms we have today. So please keep your negative comments to yourself please. There are plenty of builds out there that will suit your needs. Sorry guys for getting of topic but dont you think that maybe one day we will see nomore of these awesome builds if you keep up with the bad vibes ? Like really.. if you dont like it just flash something else or make your own.... by the way :) thanks again for this awesome build JAC
[G1 Android Development] fata1err0r:
Loading video...

I had this issue in v1.3 and it still seems to persist in 1.4. When I play a video, then stop it. The next time i go back to play it i get a prompt asking if i want to resume. I select yes, and the video does indeed resume. BUT the "Loading video..." with spinning animation are stuck in the middle of the screen on top of the video until the end of the video. This also then happens if i select to not resume the video.

The only way ive found around it is to fast forward the video to the end, then when i go to play, it will start again from the start. Then I have to find my position again manually.

This is driving me crazy cause i watch alot of videos on the train home from work.:confused:
[G1 Android Development] JoshHart:
If I could make a request for the next version it would be 5 screens, with all the widgets and such I use 3 just isn't enough, great rom though I use it a lot always fast with a great built in theme.
[G1 Android Development] unthinkablehero:
at the home screen, hit menu button, a menu will pop up, hit more; a menu with two tabs will pop up, extended and submenus. Hit extended; in that menu home screen. Options for number of home screens and the default home screen will be available. You'll be able to adjust the number of homescreens and the default home screen from there. You should reboot after selecting your number of homescreens and your defualt home screen. Hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] unthinkablehero:
hey JAC and Manup, just want to say thanks again for keeping this rom up to date and for doing a fantastic job on doing such. Many thanks.
[G1 Android Development] JoshHart:
Haha, just realized a couple minutes ago, I'm an idiot. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] ThR1LL:
Does anybody else have a problem with BetterCut creating the shortcut on the wrong screen when editing one?
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Request: Any way to get a different battery png for when the battery level is really low? It would be helpful if it was red, or some color different than it is when full, so we could tell it was below 15% or 10%.

Keep up the great work. :)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I like that idea.
[G1 Android Development] stevemartin1991:
gtalk aint workin :(

Hmmm just flashed this rom.now when I go 2 gtalk it says I'm online but shows no one is online and I know for a fact they are. Its as if its nt connecting 2 the server. Any fix on this? Thanks in advance. Steve
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
It works fine for me. Give us more details please...

What SPL and Radio are you running?
[G1 Android Development] stevemartin1991:
Yeah this is first time its happened 2 me. 26I radio and the haykuro spl..nt the danger 1 the previous spl possibly the hard spl?. when u go onto gtalk its greyed out all contacts and has no display picture. But it has online at the top. I'm confused tho. I think I thinks its connected but obviously not connecting to the server.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You have to have the SPL on the first page if you want your radio to work right on this ROM. Boot into your SPL and check the version. It should say HBOOT 1.33.2005
[G1 Android Development] blahzay_blah:
any1 else have a rebooting problem with 1.4r3????well i do and it is freakin annoying, this is my first problem ever with any customized rom, any help or ideas
[G1 Android Development] stevemartin1991:
Just check yeah says something like that and the radio is 2.22.26I or something similar. Anyways how will this help the gtalk problem? Sent and received emails perfectly so gmails fine. Just gtalk isn't connecting. Plz help as I'm getting annoyed lol
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Nope. I haven't had that problem and I haven't seen anyone post that it was a problem for them. Are you on the right SPL? Did you wipe your phone and format your ext partition? If not do those things.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
If you don't want my advice don't take it. The first post says that you HAVE TO install the danger SPL for this ROM to work. It's your call. But you will continue to have problems on this ROM if you do not install the latest SPL.
[G1 Android Development] Mikey:
This is not a theme or a My Fave support thread.

Enough is enough, there is a sub-forum called themes. SEARCH on how to create and sign a theme or apk.

Back on topic of the x-rom
[G1 Android Development] Breen:
This is awesome. Really fast. Looks very nice.

One thing though:

Any chance to get the 5 home screens like on Cyanogen's without extra software? I really got used to 5 screens instead of only 3.
[G1 Android Development] DarkPontiac:
Since this ROM doesn't really need a SWAP space should I just remove the partition all together and just have a FAT32 as well as a EXT4?

I turned on the backing swap before but after a while I get problems with Force Closing a bunch of apps and I think the reason was because of the SWAP space actually being on.

So should I leave the SWAP space of delete it?

Also one question is why would stuff force close just by having a SWAP on? To me it makes no sense, if anything it should help it but maybe i'm missing something...
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Swapping is cpu intensive as the memory scheduler has to move pages in and out of swap. The sdcard has a latency that the onboard memory does not. It is this latency and cpu load that is required to continually swap which can cause the force closes. If too much is swapped then Android has to sit and wait for pages to come out of swap and back into ram. It's during this "waiting" period that force closes can happen as I'm sure Android's JVM probably has timeout checks and if it senses something has timed out it presents you with those "would you like to close or keep waiting" messages. Or also force closes if the correct page in swap was not pulled out in enough time. Make sense? If not well then you can understand why the Android OS has trouble getting it right!

You can get a good idea of whether to remove your swap partition by dropping to a shell and checking out the results of "free" . In other words from a terminal type the word "free" without quotes and check how much available ram there is. If it's pretty low then it's probably a good idea to keep it on. Everybody's Android usage is different so no one can make that decision for you.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Menu --> Extended --> Home Screen
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
With this ROM, I would just delete that swap partition. Swapping is unnecessary in this build...
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Wow... wasn't this question JUST asked like 2-3 days ago?!
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You can use it for backing swap for the time being. I just got a fix from the Compcache team yesterday that should allow backing swap with the ext partition. JAC is going to help me get it setup and then I will test it out. It should be in 1.5 if things go well.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I answered half of your question in my other post. So here is the other half. I would be very very suprised if turning on backing swap was the cause of your force closes. If your SD card was really slow or damaged it could but other than that it doesn't make a lot of sense. Try removing the partition and adding it again. Then turn backing swap back on. How large was your swap parition? If it was too large that could have been the problem. When you recreate the partition do it with a size of 32MB.

If you aren't interested in it, wait for backing swap with swap file to be implemented.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Excellent... I was wondering about this. It will be nice to be able to adjust the backing swap size on the fly without wasting SD space, rather than having to delete and create a different partition size each time to match the configuration file.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It will be nice when it is working. I spent days trying to get it working because everyone said that it worked fine but I couldn't find a single post where someone had it working on an Android phone. Finally I opened an issue with the Compcache project and they decided it was a problem with Compcache on Android.
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
I already sent you the updated modules.sqf :)
[G1 Android Development] FalseTruth:
Anyone else having problems with wifi?
[G1 Android Development] tropheuz:
To FalseTruth: please check your spl and a few posts back in this thread. You will get you answer.

Bug? Is it just me or we can't download any file via internet explorer? Just to be sure, I installed mini opera and could download without no problems. Can please someone check this? Thx!

It says: content not supported by phone.
[G1 Android Development] rgl12miami:
Can you be more specific abaut the files you can't download?

I've been downloading all the roms via internet explorer withouth a glitch...
[G1 Android Development] FalseTruth:
I'm confused. I have 1.33.2005 spl...is it not the correct one?
[G1 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Hey guys, neone know where i can find the default launcher ? if i dont want to use the advanced launcher ? thnx
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
That is the right one. Did you wipe your ext partition before you installed the ROM? It sounds like a Davlik-Cache issue. Wipe your ext, wipe your phone and reinstall.
[G1 Android Development] DarkPontiac:
The size is 32 MB. I had it on with 1.3 and it just had force close issues after a while. It's a Class 6 8GB card so I don't think speed is an issue plus I never had any write errors or read errors so I don't believe its damaged....

I turned it back on so well see how it works out on 1.4r3.

I have compcache limit at default 18MB and the backing swap as 32MB as well as swapiness default at 28.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Those settings should work great. If you start getting force close errors turn on logcat and post it here.
[G1 Android Development] FalseTruth:
still not connecting. did all of the above...anything else i can do?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
One guy a while back had a similar problem. He was on the right radio and spl but it still wouldn't work. He reinstalled the radio, spl, wiped, formated ext, and installed the ROM and that fixed it.

Your signature says you have a G1. Is that correct? If you have a MT3G you would need the ported ROM.
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
I too was looking for a method of doing this, but I am not sure we are able to modify\replace the launcher w/o destroying Manup's great visual edits. I like the advanced launcher, but as I dont use the functionality, prefer the speed of the stock launcher. Anyone have an idea about this?

Maybe we will have to settle for an upgrade to v16 of the launcher, which was recently released.....
[G1 Android Development] FalseTruth:
i tried that too...i'm going to try to redownload, wipe, and install. Maybe i got a bum download? Btw...thanks for the help!! :)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
No problem. It sounds like you are doing everything that you are supposed to. Let me know what happens after the download. I'll try to think of what else you can try.
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
What exactly does the Submenus option under Menu do? I chose Gmail Submenu, not sure what that does or any of the others.
[G1 Android Development] FalseTruth:
Works perfect now.. thanks again for the help!!:)
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
You can organize the entire menu with the sub menu option. Say you create a google menu, you then scroll thru the apps and when you wanna put an app in the google menu you long press it and add it to the google menu. Exit out and bring up app menu, when you do it will have a google folder with all the apps you put in it.
[G1 Android Development] tropheuz:
Hi,

anyfile... in these cases were all files from rapidshare, megaupload etc. this only happens with explorer.

any sugestions?
[G1 Android Development] rgl12miami:
Before wiping and flashing again (pain in the neck...) try to push another browser from the forum. There are several that will work with this rom. By the way, this rom is so good that accepts almost everything you throw at it. ;) also you can try pushing the Browser.apk of the xROM itself.
[G1 Android Development] tshizzle:
is it just me..or does the battery life suck?

i switched froma hero rom to this and ive seen a pretty vast battery lasting difference.

is there anything i can install to make battery last longer?

i already use just 2G, brightness low, wifi off, gps off. what else can i do?
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
I have 3G on, GPS on, brightness at 40%, and with occasional wifi usage and a lot of browsing, messaging and some emailing, I probably average 15 hours on one charge with this ROM.
[G1 Android Development] tshizzle:
wow!.. maybe its cuz i did a no-wipe? from cyanogen stable..? maybe sum technical stuff didnt get turned off or reset or sumthing?

i find that after like 2 hours of usage..on twitter..on 2g, without any necessary browsing, im down to like 50%...and the phones hot!
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Definitely, definitely, definitely wipe and format your ext partition if you are coming from Cyanogen. There is a lot of overlap between the two ROMs but you still have to wipe. You will most likely see a lot of strange stuff on your phone if you don't wipe and format your ext.

It could also be the twitter application that you are using. Or are you going through the browser? Even if it was working great on Hero they could have pushed an update that messed things up. When I updated to 1.4r3 my Advanced Task Manager seemed to start force closing. I realized that I also did an update to ATM the same day. I dropped in the old apk and it worked fine.
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Done...just waiting for MT00 to get back with test results.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Did you send this to me? I haven't seen it. Or is Manup going to.
[G1 Android Development] tshizzle:
ok..thanks. it might just be the twitter app. just got twitter pro, never tried it out on hero. ill try out a diff twitter app...later

i always format my ext partition, then push back my app folder cuz i dont want to have to re-download...that shouldnt be a problem should it?
