I'm not sure when JAC will post it. I doubt he will post r3 just for that one file. I woudn't if I was him. I would wait until I know if any new issues are going to pop up or not.

As far as the music player goes, it should launch faster. The problem is that I can't have my script update the priority of the process until the process exists. It doesn't exist until you open it for the first time. After that intitial launch it should open up much faster. It will scroll to tracks a lot better and the tracks will play with less delay. The priorities are updated every 3 minutes so you shouldn't have to wait long for it to run again.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I can't wait for the lock screen to be finished. This ROM is definitely the best one out there. BFS + Donut + Stable = xROM
[G1 Android Development] justanothercrowd:
Advanced Launcher is back as well as Mike's user.conf adjustments in r3. uploading now
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Xinvert Coming as well for 1.5r3 as well. :)
[G1 Android Development] Graph.Two:
does anyone know if its cool to use meltus V7 audio hack?? I know that JAC hero rom includes it but didnt see it anywhere in the OP
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
What's Xinvert?
[G1 Android Development] V_RocKs:
I left JF's old ROM to try out Hero...

Played with all version of Hero here and the lag times were just not going to work. I use my phone for business and I cannot wait 30 seconds for my home screen to load. I would look like a douche bag. Not to mention I'd be making the iPhone users in the room feel prouder than they already do...

I put this build on my phone and I cannot believe how much faster it is than the JF ROM I was using. Any app to home screen is instant. Everything works so much faster. If anyone wants to know I have a 96mb swap.

Also like that many of the apps are from the new versions. Messaging looks tight... it all looks so friggin tight!

Watching mybackup restore my contacts... blam.blam.blam.. the counter used to look like 1 and a 2 and a 3... now it is 1..2..4..6..7...8..9.12..20... amazing how fast this ROM is running!

Seems this ROM is set for 528mhz - 128mhz... Slowed it down to 384mhz and it is still fast... 5xx runs the batter out too fast.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I'm using it right now. I was just listening to Pandora Radio on the way home from work. I was able to answer a text message, get a call through bluetooth and my phone wasn't phased at all during any of it.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Can you guys post a couple screenshots about things that have been significantly changed from v1.4? Maybe Messaging, Lockscreen, etc.?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It's a them that Manup created. It looks pretty sick if you ask me.

Hi this might sound as a noobish question but does anyone no if i hve to wipe if im flashing to 1.5 from 1.4r3 Jacxrom.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You shouldn't need to.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Check out ManUp's xTHEME. It is almost identical other than that. Most of the stuff is happening underneath the covers on this release.
[G1 Android Development] OFinch:
hi

Another question.. How do you activate the Audio Hack or is it already on their. I read and seen you mentioned you were doing it with pandora, but didn't answer how you got it.. Thank you
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Very sick! Is Manup saying he's going to release the theme, or is this the default...? I guess I should just wait till I can flash and see for myself, lol...

Thanks for clarifying brother... :)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
He is just making the theme compatible with the build so that you can install it if you want to.

You're welcome.

Anyone notice a significant decrease in WiFi speed? I noticed this in the newest Cyan build (Donut) and in xRom1.5r3. I used to get between 1.2 to 1.5 megabits and now I approx. 500 kilobytes\sec. I did test with Xtreme speed test app to do my testing

EDIT: I am actually getting a faster connection on 3G, around 600kb. Possibly because of the Wifi code from Donut?
[G1 Android Development] unthinkablehero:
jac, manup, mike... you guys together have put out the fastest, most stable hacked rom out so far. Thank you, thank you , thank you, thank you... just can't be said enough.
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Not sure but I added the java,boot and dev tools and so far this is amazing bro great work have not had any issues so far. :)
[G1 Android Development] TurboTsi:
What does the BFS patch do?
[G1 Android Development] timelyne:
Nice update.I did update the v3 audio hack to v7 in previous version.

Since this new ROM update I'm please with the audio.
[G1 Android Development] Tydiz:
2G speeds actually increased!!!

I cannot believe how fast the 2G is now...I noticed on the train, when I was coming home, streaming from Pandora while browsing the market...I expected at least some hiccups in the streaming music, but there was none...it was amazing!!

When I got home, I find out my internet is actually down, so I tethered my phone to computer, which usually is worse than browsing the internet on my phone, but I'm getting some pretty damn good speeds...I can hardly notice that I'm using my phone's network to browse.

What the hell kind of crazy magic did you guys do to make this go faster? I'm pretty much flabbergasted! Thanks JAC, manup456, and miketaylor00 for working so hard on this! Its pretty much amazing(I'm really excited about the music control on the lock screen; can't wait!!! :D)

I just tested the speed: Download was just under 200kbps which is pretty much maxing out EDGE on the GSM network...upload was a puny 70kbps but that sounds like a pretty normal dl:ul ratio to me.
[G1 Android Development] eruscool:
Can't say enough about your releases, without your rom my G1 would suck. thanks guys.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Edit: Nevermind
[G1 Android Development] Boomgawd:
no cell network?

Just flashed 1.5r2 from 1.4r3 and no cell network. WIFI works, but I cannot get the radio to work for calls. no reception..

restored 1.4r3 from switchrom, everything is back to normal..

is anyone else experiencing this?
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
Yes.

I'm just now reinstalling the radio hoping it would help.

Weird.

UPDATE: Did not work.

UPDATE 2: All of a sudden, it started working (about 3 minutes after 2nd reboot and the radio install)
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Maybe a dumb question, but are you on the latest radio and SPL?
[G1 Android Development] Boomgawd:
Radio Problem

Re-Applied update after restore to 1.4r3 from switchrom, all is well. Not sure the cause, but its fixed and smoking fast..

thanks for all your quick responses!
[G1 Android Development] turboyo:
I dont see anything about this but comp cache or swap are not enabled right? This thing is fast i cant beliee its doing it w/o
[G1 Android Development] Boomgawd:
compcache and backingswap

Both are enable by default if your parts are setup right, thats half the speed... the other is BFS(Brain **** sheduler)

EDIT: Post applies to 1.5r2

EDIT2: Run sh /system/bin/swap -s to display compcache and other user.conf settings in play.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
On boot up, is anyone else seeing the "Preparing SD Card" message in the notification bar for a couple seconds?

Edit: By the way... the details you guys thought of are impressive. I got a huge smile on my face when I opened Market and saw the xROM icons occupying the previously blank squares that are displayed while the feature app icons are being downloaded. :)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You can push the files with ADB for v7 of the audio hack. I never used it until a few days ago I tried v6 and it was distorted. The next day v7 came out and sounds pretty good. Just follow the instructions, its easier than it used to be. You don't have to resign the installer or anything like that like you did on some of his stuff.
[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
@miketaylor Hey man I'm still running 1.4 but wanted to ask you have you come across a problem with this build as far as making calls? Just about every time i call someone it echoes really bad. Not running audio hack if that matters.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
That is a feature that Cyanogen added. I think it is so the ROM can copy any apps installed on the internal memory to the sdcard. I need to do more research to make sure.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I haven't personally experienced that problem and I don't remember seeing it in the thread. I'd suggest that when you go to 1.5 try wiping and reinstalling the radio before you load it. If that doesn't help let me know and I'll help you figure it out.
[G1 Android Development] spinjason:
BTW...

I flashed without wipe and the auto rotate didn't work, so I wiped and then reflashed everything seems to be working fine except the market app and keep getting f/c windows for twidroid and myspace widget. Is this the same "radio" issue that others are having? I am making this post from my G1, so obviously I am bewildered. Any insight would be great. I have rebooted twice also, haven't tried reflashing radio yet. Now I am getting other app f/c. Ideas?

Edit: flashed 1.5r3, also tried fix pemissions in terminal..
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Have you tried fix permissions in console or format ext partition? That would be a good place to start if you're getting FCs that aren't directly ROM related
[G1 Android Development] spinjason:
I did try fix permissions, I don't have a computer available to backup and format my ext3. Any other options?
[G1 Android Development] roguespy0:
I must say this is my fav rom,thanks jac,manup cc and everyone else who had input. I am running 1.5 r3 with no issues,smokin fast.
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
In regards to speed, after 8 hours of moderate use (browsing, half hour plkaying robo defense, a few pictures and half hour htc music, 1 phone call) I ran benchmark pi. The average time of 10 tries was 13011, with the fastest being 11977. Not exactly "omg rocketfuel fast" but with 1.4r3 MT00 user.conf, the highest position in the rankings was 1500, 1.5r3 stock I got 917 :)

Gonna run pi again after a reboot, then with MT00's user.conf see how things go. But I will admit, stock this rom has 2 speeds. Fast and "wow, the user finally cought up with his phone"

Very impressed and as always, manup you're a genius with graphics :)
[G1 Android Development] grafyman:
thanks jac, manu, excellent rom 1.5r3 ... is very fast and stable.:eek:
[G1 Android Development] priide:
I finally decided to try out this rom and I must say It was totally worth it. This thing is fast and it looks damn good. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] EpikFail:
Constant Reboot

Hello,

I am coming from the 1.4 rom (believe it is 1.4r3). Didn't have any issues with it at all. I am kinda a newb but I love the work you guys do and flash all the time.

Anyways, I seem to be having a little trouble with both the 1.5 (all r versions) and the new Hero 1.8.

When trying to flash either, I just get stuck in a boot loop. I have wiped, reformatted the ext3, and fixed permissions. But still getting a boot loop on the G1.

Decided to completely wipe my SD Card (8GB Class 6 btw) and start from scratch but I got the same issue.

It never gets past the G1 screen, just constantly reboots.

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
;)

I just ran BPI, and my ranking was around 2000.

When running CM, I was doing much better.

I'm new to xROM, and I was wondering if you've done anything special (modifying user.conf) or changing any other files to get that good of a number? Would you mind sharing your tweaks?

I'm currently using v1.5r3 as-is without doing anything different.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] Coderedpl:
v1.5r3 includes the features from v1.5r2 or are they 2 separate ones?

I see links to download both thats why i ask.
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
I haven't changed anything. Just a plain stock rom. Do you have a swap partition? Mine is 32mb on class 2 card, pretty sure if I had a class 4 or 6 my ranking would improve :)
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, I do have the swap partition.

Fat32, then Linux3 (500) and Swap (32).

This is a Transcend 8 Class 6 card.

But it's a backup card I've I put on in here just to try this out (so it wouldn't mess with the setup I had previously). This card may be defective. I had little probs in the past, that's why I relegated it to a backup. It's a freshly formated/partitioned card, so that should be ok. Think I may take my known-good card and give this a whirl. This rom is so impressive!

Thanks again.
[G1 Android Development] OFinch:
Mike I didn't see you on gchat so I thought I'd ask you guys here. Why does 2G show up before 3G.. I want my 3G back and I don't know why it doesn't show up. Is 2G mean E on the old cupcake non rooted ROM?
[G1 Android Development] mimic1011:
a humble request

can you add the new sound/speaker mod into the rom
[G1 Android Development] Coderedpl:
Questions:

What are the differences between 1.5r3 and 1.5r2?

Does R3 include whats in R2?

Is the messaging icon on the lockscreen suppose to work or is it still work in progress?
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
This should work for you:

For 3g only go to dialer and press these

*#*#4636#*#*

And go to phone info and find where it says

Wdma only. Hope it helps u
[G1 Android Development] heatfan:
Everything works fine. Fast as hell and not even 1 FC screen. I tried searching first but didn't find anything on this, non of my widgets are working, i can install them on the home screen. but they don't work. Nothing happens when i press on them. if i use the scroll the phone just skips right thru them. like they are not there.

"OK never mind they started to work by them selves, that was damn weird!!!"
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
Or here's another way to accomplish the same thing:

use bettercut or anycut.

Choose Activity / Phone info

Go into shortcut, go down until you see options for WCMDA Preferred, change it to WCDMA only.

3G all the time!

[G1 Android Development] turboyo:
Having a problem with ringing..the phone rings after vibrating a few times, and the notifications for email or sms never go off, never any sound, just vibrate .. dont know whats going on im pretty sure they worked at last night but nothing now
[G1 Android Development] slimster:
I also have experienced notification problems; no audible notification at times. Also, I don't want to blame the rom, but has anyone else had network problems? 3g times out very often and problem didn't happen until after flashing rom. Could be on my end, not sure. Other than that, great speed and stability.
[G1 Android Development] turboyo:
Same thing happened to me with 3G I had it and all of a sudden I didn't, and it was in my room where I always have 3G..a few seconds later it was back...maybe its something we both have? Also is there anyway of increasing sensativity on the home screen swiping, it seems to not be as responisve as cyanogen was, I find myself swiping and staying on the same screen,I'm sure ill get used to it though..but the ringing thing I really want to figure out as I'm loving the rom and want to keep it
[G1 Android Development] USAFTbird:
Not receiving calls while in GMAIL

Can anyone else duplicate the problem I'm having by not being able to receive calls when accessing gmail?
[G1 Android Development] slimster:
That is exactly my problem with network. I wiped and flashed numerous times so I don't believe it to be a bad flashing. This is a major deal breaker if this proves to be a constant problem. Anyone else confirm this to be a known issue?
[G1 Android Development] rsfaze:
Babbler is crashing on the r2 and r3 after wipes for each.
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
havent tried xrom yet but want to give it a try been on hero for a while, what is the most stable rom i could try since 1.3?
[G1 Android Development] OFinch:
question

I am also having problems with the notification sound recieiver Text and Google Chat messages when my is in sleep mode or any mode at that. I just don't hear the sound.. I only hear the vibrate. I've checked all settings and still nothing. Any help with this would be great. I also think that bfs on this rom isn't needed and it's just seem'ing to make this an unstable build. But I still love the work, but people coming up might want to stay on their 1.3r3 that was working perfectly. Keep up the great work Jac, if anyone could help me with the notification sounds that would be great. I can't take not hearing when I recieve a text or google chat
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I'm not sure. This build includes the new donut wlan.ko and I think it is acting a little weird sometimes. I've had a similar issue where I was stuck on 2G for a while then it went back to 3G. Once my GPS wasn't locating but I rebooted and it fixed it.

Remember guys, part of being on the cutting edge means that we rely on code from google that is less than perfect. If it was 100% ready there oulw be an OTA update by now. I'll talk to JAC about this a bit more but for now if you are seeing weird stuff with the radio just reboot and it should clear it up. If it doesn't, let me know.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Yes, 1.5r3 includes what is in R2. The change log lists pretty much everything new.

The messaging icon is still a work in progress. The lock screen has a ways to go but it at least gives you the battery status that most people were missing.
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
For the most part, xrom has never really let me down. I've stopped using babbler as it seems to be a memory hog, and it occasionally gave me nearly 100 notifications at once so got an acore FC, babbler fault, not rom. And if you've been using hero then omg you're in for a treat. Hero, you can boil the kettle and make a cuppa before it's booted. Xrom seems to boot before you even get to the kettle. (Slight exageration, but it put it into perspective)

For a good quality fast stable rom, flash this. For something a little less stable, just as fast and ever so slightly experimental, use cyanogen's... but seriously flash this one :)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Try relesecting your ringtone. Sometimes, especially when moving to a new build it shows that you have a ringtone selected but the phone doesn't really know where it is located. If you reselect it and make it play once it should fix it.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
You shouldn't have much delay at all. Check to see what is running. You might have some rogue applications that are eating up memory. Also, it sounds like maybe you need to reformat after coming from Cyanogen. You should have as good or better performance than CM 4.0.4.
[G1 Android Development] turboyo:
Im aleady used to the swiping just takes a harder swipe..as for the ringing i have tried everything i can think of and nothing .
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I'm starting to wonder the same thing about BFS. I didn't get to really test it before it was released. I think it is making the ROM smoother overall but it might be missing some things here and there priority wise. Also, I think the reason some of the benchmark tests don't come back as well are related to this as well. It won't give the benchmark app full control of the resources for that long. When a not so important process is running in the back ground it gives it a litte too high priority and takes away from the benchmark app running.

I haven't had the problem with the phone not ringing but seeing how so many people are, I will look into it. The fix that I added in my script was working perfectly and making rings happen very quickly before BFS was added, so that is part of the reason I am wondering if it is related.
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
so wich version do you recommend, looks like alot of people having problems with this 1.5r3
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Hold on for a day or so if you're worried about a few problems. I'm sure once mike and JAC find out what's causing the problem, an update will be released. JAC takes pride in having a stable rom so will stop at nothing untill it's perfect, hence the really fast updates from r1 to r3 litterally a few hours apart. Guaranteed once they know what the problem is, an update will be released fixing it :) (on a side note JAC, the image details date bug is still there, but as mentioned before it's by no means important)

So yea, hold on, or go to xrom 1.4r3, that was smooth
[G1 Android Development] esouthatx44:
k thanks will try 1.4r3
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
These few bugs well the ones that are valid will be fixed,well I say that because I dont see as many as I see people posting about. They will be fixed soon guys be pationt its not that many things needed to be fixed so should be done fairly fast.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I need a volunteeer

It's possible that my priority script is conflicting with something that BFS is trying to do. It seems like BFS is killing the processes to lower their priority, but it is only able to kill some of them so the phone has a high priority and the media server that loads the ringtone has a low one. The phone answers the call quickly but the media server is waiting in line to load the ringtone.

I don't know if BFS is the right way to go or if my script is. I've asked JAC for a build that doesn't include BFS so that I can check it out. Until then, if someone wants to try turning off my script it might be a temporary solution until it gets figured out. Try the following steps from terminal:

su
rwsystem
rm -r /system/bin/setPriority.sh

If it doesn't help you, you can re-run the 1.5r3 update to put the file back for you. Let me know if this helps, I think it will until we can figure this out.
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
I have a simple question that may not be that simple :)

I have been looking for a widget for the home screen that is exactly like the date/time that shows up on the lockscreen! Does anyone know of a widget that can do that? a 4x2 widget that shows date & time (no weather)?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] dta1974:
It might be soon to ask this question,but what about battery life?What do you all think? I think I am almost ready to install this wonderfdul rom and I' d like to hear some about it.

Thank you
[G1 Android Development] YPhoto:
Think this is maybe what you are looking for. It is 4x1, Time/date, but no alarm info.

[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Battery life has been great on 1.4. I haven't had 1.5 long enough to really give you a great answer but so far I haven't had problems with it.
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
Yep, that will do it.

Not quite as polished as the one on the lockscreen, but it will do just fine.

Thanks Mike for your quick reply,that's enough for me to know it'll be great.
