There is some donut stuff in it... the only thing I can think of off the top of my head is the Power Widget.

Ext2 is fine, but ext3 is preferred as it performs faster.
[G1 Android Development] jonbron:
I have no idea why but for some reason my Home button stopped functioning when I flashed this rom. Both versions have the same issue. What do I do :confused:
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Rom shouldn't affect the home button at all but one guy earlier in the thread confirmed sometimes when coming from a different rom without wipe can do that, try a wipe and reinstall, let us know
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I was flashing around from different versions, testing stuff for JAC and that happened to me. A wipe and reinstall fixed it.
[G1 Android Development] jonbron:
Did just that and everything's working fine now. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
yep, that was me and yes you must wipe to go home
[G1 Android Development] eruscool:
man i can't help my self to check every couple of hours to see if an update has been posted. hopefully soon.
[G1 Android Development] saprano614:
think there is any chance of the update having the new market since it has been released.

would be cool. i played with the offical 1.6 that is out and seems fast and the market is really nice. would love to have it on xRom. i love this rom.
[G1 Android Development] eruscool:
I agree, I flashed today to 1.6 to see the new market and the rom overall. And I have to say it is surprisingly fast. I cannot imagine how good the rom would be if it was x-efied. Like I said before, I can't wait till the next release.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I got ahold of JAC and I want to give everyone an update so that you aren't checking every few hours. JAC has had some more personal issues come up. I feel bad for the guy, he can't seem to catch a break. And it happened at the worst time with the whole Google thing going on. On top of that he has to figure out what he is going to include and what he isn't. He had the new market in it but I don't know if he is going to keep it in there given the recent developments. So a lot of his work might never make it out of his development box. He's going to try to have something in a week. I'll be doing what I can to help him out and I'll post on here to keep you guys updated.

I've been working with Cyrowski on JacHeroSki. Hopefully we will be posting a new release tonight that is worth checking out. It's the first Hero build that I have actually considered using on a daily basis. It's not quite as fast as xROM but it is fast. If you miss flashing I suggest you check it out. Use switch rom and you can go back and forth between the 2 without a lot of work.
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Cheers mike, i'd rather have a stable JAC than a stable phone

@ JAC take your time buddy, sort out you before you sort us out :)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
That's what I told JAC. People will be patient on here, they just need to know that you'll be back.
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
Thanks for the update, what do you mean "Use Switch Rom"? post link if it is a program that makes trying different rom out easier, not having to wipe, flash, reinstall apps etc.. Thanks

seconded..
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
Stable is key. Im using one of the cupcake builds and they run as good as xrom...but they dont feel the same. My phone looks bleh again. Oh and JACheroski is a great rom too in case any of you are getting the itch to flash a rom. JAC has posted 100% of the instructions on the first post of that thread. parted is my new friend. ;)

ANyone having MMS issues w/ r3 and r4? I can send MMS not issue, but I never seem to receive them. I double checked that handcent and messaging are set to auto-retrieve MMS messages. Anyone care to chime in?
[G1 Android Development] twflys:
so, when the next update comes out will it have donut built in? Just curious, and sorry for the question- I ain't real good with these things.

That being said, I switched to this from Hero because I wanted more stability and reliability- this rom is insanely great! Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
im still keeping track on this ROM build coz this xROM still on the

list of my stable ROM, or the rom that would satisfy the user.

Hope updates are soon. :D

Thanks to JAC, Manup456 and all of the mods:D

I just DL'd this rom and it is SICK....Where did you get that wallpaper? My wallpaper was still there, although I didn't do a wipe before dl'ing......chris

[G1 Android Development] Droid536:
Hello,

I just rooted and flashed xRom and love it. I'm a noob, but not totally clueless.

But I still have some minor questions since I'm still learning. I tried doing searches and have read a lot here and on other forums, but still wanted to find out a few things:

- I read that xRom is based on Cyanogen, right? But that still means if I want to keep using xRom, I need to wait for xRom updates... not cyanogen updates (I know how basic that question is, but I just want to make sure I understand)

- which means the cyanogen updater app from the marketplace is kind of useless to me, correct (assuming I always want to use xRom)?

- Whenever there is a new xRom update, I don't need to wipe again, just flash the new update?

- I really only need to partition my SD card if I'm looking to install apps to the SD card, or if I plan on switching ROMs a lot and need to back up the data?

- Other than system items, is it conceivable to have every single app on the SD card? Overall, I do want to be able to play around w/ my G1 and don't want to have to download my apps again or lose all my SMS every single time i decide to try a different ROM... so can someone suggest the best or most common solution?

Crap... I have some non-xRom related questions too... they are minor though:

- MotoBlur on the Cliq is basically just another skin/ROM, right? So if one were to get a Cliq, they could root it and just remove MotoBlur altogether? I kind of want the Cliq for the hardware, not for MotoBlur

- One cannot just install Android to ANY device, right? Like, you can't take a Touch Pro 2, completely remove WinMo and replace it w/ Android, can you? I would imagine the Android build would have to be 'programmed' to use the hardware, since the hardware was natively-designed to work w/ WinMo?

If I'm being an annoying noob, then sorry in advance and I'm sure I'll be ignored. But thanks anyway to everyone here and the developers.
[G1 Android Development] lucky 69:
thanks for the update .i was getting worried about him .haven't seen no twitters or post .hope all works out for him! let him know he doing a great job on all the roms!
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
xROM is not based off of Cyanogen. People who only use Cyanogen and hat all other ROMs like to think that but it's not true. You generally do not need to wipe between updates for xROM. They Cyanogen updater is useless with xROM. Right now it's useless period since Cyanogen took down all of his ROMs. I'd recommend partitioning your sd card or you are going to run out of room on your phone.

The cliq has different hardware so until someone ports other ROMs over to it you will need to use the standard OS. It might be better than anything out there so you will have to try it and see if you like it. Eventually people will port ROMs over for it I'm sure.

You can't install android on a phone unless it has drivers written for it to work in android. They Touch Pro 2 would take a lot of work to make it work with Android.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Yes it is a wallpaper. Wipe your phone and reinstall. You always need to wipe when switching ROMs.
[G1 Android Development] Droid536:
That literally answered everything I wanted to know about xRom and Rooting. Thanks a million!!!!!
[G1 Android Development] dincp:
Mike has all the answers. He's a great asset to us.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:

wow i really miss this rom. I think im gonna have to come back to it tonight. right now im using a 1.6 rom and even with its new market and donut goodies its still not enough to keep me away from the all great xRom

jacheroski is super awesome too though.... damnit these r some of lifes toughest decisions. ;)

Default ringtone

Can someone please PM me the default ringtone from 1.5r4? I've switched to CY 4.1.11.1 due to some weird hiccups I was experienceing in 1.5r4 after a couple weeks of use. Now I never hear my phone ring, the default super loud ringer that is in this ROM kicks ass. If anyone can take a moment to pm it... that would just make my day!
[G1 Android Development] ccriffman:
This is the best ROM I have ever loaded- bar none- It is awesome- Chris
[G1 Android Development] ha85:
I can not wait for the next update. I really loved the r4 and had it running for probably the longest time...since then, I have moved to donut, but have been really wanting to go back!!!

Thanks Mike- followed instructions and found this in the WP gallery- chris

Now thats what I'm talkin' about!- Chris

oh what i mean on that update update, was for the thread to be up (LOL)
[G1 Android Development] Tydiz:
1.5r5 or 1.6

Hey mike...do you know if JAC is still planning on releasing r5? I remember him saying not too long ago, that r5 would probably be out before 1.6, but with his recent troubles, I would encourage him to not worry about r5 and put his focus on 1.6, since I'm assuming r5 was going to be his strategy to hold us off for the time being.

I think, not only should he take his time and deal with whats going on in his life but he shouldn't worry about us...if 1.6 is as good as you, manup and him keep sayin, then its well worth our time to wait it out. I don't think he should be splitting his attention on two different releases, just for our sake...ya know what I mean?

Anyway, as always...Thank you guys so much for what you guys do...I've been very inspired to maybe try baking my own ROMS but I wouldn't know the first place to start, which just makes me think about all the research and everything that has gone down into this...I am perplexed everyday by it. Keep up the amazing work...JAC, stay strong brotha! :)
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
i always get back on this rom when i dont feel like others ^^
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
He's focusing on 1.6. He sent me a 1.6 build to test last night. Don't expect anything too soon but the wheels are starting to turn again.
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
nice, keep em coming!

1.6 must rule! :D:D:D
[G1 Android Development] erhanz:
i know i may sound stupid..

because i'm a complete noob..

just started flashing days ago..and addicted to it XD

come across this great ROM..

but..can someone tell me..

how to root this ROM?

i'm trying to use this recovery image http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=523558

Recover Image 1.4

but somehow..my telnet can't connect to the server..

is that because i don't have root yet?

if i don't...how can i get a root for this ROM?

apparently i only found how to root RC29 & 7..

which this ROM isn't using..

CRC1..how to root it? hmm..
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
This rom is already rooted
[G1 Android Development] erhanz:
any reason why i can't connect to server with telnet in this ROM?
[G1 Android Development] xallyx:
i<3Xrom lol

Ok, so this is my first xda post ever! Lol idk if I'm in the correct area LOL but IFL xrom lol, I'm wondering because I have a few issues. I'm lagging at times horribly, fc on apps and some that download I'm missing the icon and it turns into a setting icon lol also while I sync I get a slow freeze and fc's and stopped unexpected. I took 3 widgets off and I seem to be ok lol but is there anything else I can do as far as the apps issue, and the major lag=( I'm not changing roms. I just want this fixed LOL I'm a "noob" eeeeewwwww! Lol
[G1 Android Development] Tydiz:
Wipe and reflash...I'm pretty sure that's your issue :)

Edit: Oh and don't forget to backup before hand(nandroid), or you'll lose everything
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
If you're running this rom, you already have root and to flash the recovery you don't need telnet, just use terminal emulator and type the following

su
Flash_image recovery sdcard/path to recovery

If that doesn't work, there should be alternate methods using fastboot in the thread you got your recovery image from

Hope it helps
[G1 Android Development] erhanz:
oh my gosh..

i don't know what to say..

senaia..you solved my problem..thank you very much XD
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
No probs, but all the instructions are in the thread you got the recovery image from
[G1 Android Development] ccriffman:
I made a couple 'walls that I think work with this terriffic Rom-, You'll find them in a post later in this thread- Chris
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Walls are quite good, but I think the huge coloured xrom in the middle is too bright, look good tho
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
the xROM itself (font,size,color) not really fits
[G1 Android Development] ccriffman:
I agree- I like these more than the first group- Chris

[G1 Android Development] Edward2868:
Please take it easy on me if i posted this in the wrong thread or w/e

PLEASE READ TITLE OF THIS 1ST :)

Ok so im new to this ROM and so far loving it. Runs pretty good with no problems at all. I just have 2 questions..

1) What happened to the Gallery/Pictures?

I installed this last night and i don't see any option for me to access my pictures...i Installed another app but its no good for uploading pictues on a MMS or an email so i was just wondering about that.....

2) Any ideas when i'll be updated with donut =)

Thank you all!
[G1 Android Development] ccriffman:
I just dl'd this rom a few days ago and think it is the best I have tried so far. My pictures were just where they had been, in folders such as "wallpaper" "photos", etc. I can't see it having done this, but did you have your sd card already paritioned with a second area for apps to SD? We would have to ask ( as I said, I don't know) if the card isn't partitioned yet, it might do so and format the whole card in the process ( erasing its contents)- Other than that possibility, I have to think your pics are there somewhere. One note- I have been using "Handscent" from the 'droid market, and it eliminated the need for another app "save mms", which saved attachements from messages, emails. Handscent gives you the option of saving attachments.

I believe the version jac and friends are working on (1.5r6) is stuffed with Donut- Chris
[G1 Android Development] ccriffman:
I agree- just wanted to offer some options when one feels like changing the backround for a day or two- chris
[G1 Android Development] Zombiac:
I do like this rom it's the only one I've been using for weeks and now I can't figure out how to set the limit on the desktop size I only want 3 instead of 5

does anyone know how to set this in 1.5r4.
[G1 Android Development] pllexx:
try spare parts, you will find what you need there, you will see it in your programs list
[G1 Android Development] paxku:
desktop-->menu-->more-->extended-->home screen
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
yours also had a good xrom feel to them. very nice.
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
from the home screen press menu, then select "more", then "extended", then "home screen".

from there you can change the # of home screens
[G1 Android Development] saprano614:
any word on the update. just curious. i cant wait but would still like to have some idea.
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
ya they will update this awesome rom but we need a patience :D
[G1 Android Development] erhanz:
anywayz..is it just me or this rom has a longer charge time for battery?

it took me 2 hours to charge the battery from 40% to 100%
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Depends on how you are charging, the AC charger is a rapid charge and is significantly faster at charging. The USB is a trickle charge and charges your battery at a lower voltage, so it charges slower but should last slightly longer. Ive heard minor issues about BFS causing some battery loss (only in 1.5r4)
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
i just have a comment. with this rom my battery is longer than other roms..
[G1 Android Development] Edward2868:
Well thank you very much for your reply to my question sir.

My pictures are all there..i know they are...whats missing is the "Pictures/Gallery" app....the default application which is used to view the pictures and videos....thats whats missing.

Im not looking to download pictures from my attachments either, im looking to send them :)

But without that app i cant.

And my SD card is partioned and it has nothing on it right now. Meaning no apps...i wiped it earlier this morning...any additional info would be great
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Did you install rom then wipe ext?

Try wipe ext then reinstall rom, let me know what you get

Also, check in the extended section, you may have accidentally hidden the app, I've done that loads of times lol
[G1 Android Development] Edward2868:
Haha happens to the best of us right?

Anyways, nah man. I didn't hide it....this is how I know...

When I am sending an email or MMS message, I click attach to well....attach a picture right? And then I get an error saying "no application can perform this action" :(

And I wiped before I installed this ROM so yeah.

I did everything correctly as far as I'm concerned...I wonder what went wrong..
[G1 Android Development] erhanz:
well..i'm using the AC Charger..

and it really slow..

last time..i charged from 43% to 74% for...1 hour 15 minutes..

i found it strange...turned off the phone..and suddenly after it turned off, the LED turns into green..after that..i turned on the phone..and voila..100% battery..

strange enough for me..
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
guess u got mess batt. u nid a replacement :/
[G1 Android Development] Sparatan117:
I can concur with you, The battery charge on this rom is really, slow...like really slow and misleading. It said it had 84 when i took it off the charger and then after using it for 5 minutes of just pure texting (very mild at that) it had 45% left. So really it lies about its level or tries to esimate very badly.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
You guys just need to reset your batteries. Do a search on the right way. IIRC, you just run the battery all the way down, then turn the phone off and let it charge overnight.
[G1 Android Development] xmeatizmurderx:
We need a gathering instead
[G1 Android Development] ccriffman:
I don't find that this rom drains my battery excessively or lies about its charge level. Granted, I have a 2300mah battery. But I think you need to do what's advised, which is drain it down to the level your phone won't remain "turned on", and then charge it overnight on the wall charger- chris
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
do we have any reported issues yet with xrom and the new HTC radio?

**edit**

just came back from cyans latest which means i now have the new htc radio. so far so good with xrom and the new radio. i'll keep you guys posted if i notice any bugs.

65.50s.20.17h_2.22.19.26I

wait a sec... isnt this the same radio we've been using for months now?
[G1 Android Development] lucky 69:
lol i think it is how can that be?
[G1 Android Development] ccriffman:
I got my G1 in July, and it came with the same radio .....261 that is being touted as the latest. I have had Cyan's roms ( last being 4.0.4) and have been using the 1.5r4 xRom for a week and loving it. The point is, I have never had issues with this rom or any others. I am using Ra's latest recovery, and Haykouro's latest SPL, and again have never had issues.- Chris
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
friggin wierd. The new HTC recovery image that is needed for cyans new rom includes the radio update that we already have. the first thing i thought when i saw the new radio is what it would mess up. but it looks like it wont mess anything up.
[G1 Android Development] j0k3rn2o:
i just flashed cyanogen's latest xrom 4.1.9 but inorder to do so i needed to flash the new 1.6 img. can i flash jacxrom with the 1.6 or do i need to reflash 1.5 1st?
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
just wipe and be sure to clear out your ext partitions. Once thats done you can faithfully come back to v1.54
[G1 Android Development] j0k3rn2o:
thanks trying it out now, btw hows jacxrom working for u
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
its working fine. coz its stable :D
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
even though its missing a few goodies from donut, its still the best IMO. been using it since version 1.0 and its only gotten faster and more stable. JAC's roms arent released as often as some of the other guys but his roms are also the most solid. Manup also did a lot of work on the theme. Its complete and looks pro.
[G1 Android Development] ccriffman:
I fully agree- I have had several other roms installed, including three from Cy.....

and I have to say- Jac's and Manup have put out the fastest, most stable, and complete rom out there. Every other rom, no matter how loaded/fast it was, I had to install a theme with- with this, one flash and you have the complete package, and it is ROCK SOLID- chris;)
[G1 Android Development] mattguzman73:
I like this Rom but was wondering ... is this considered a Hero Rom where the bluetooth does not work? Or does the bluetooth work on this rom?
[G1 Android Development] erhanz:
it worked! thx
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
What do you gain moving from HTC 1.5-img to 1.6-img then re-install xROM v1.54, is it better to wait for xROM's next release, as I understood it would be forthcoming and v1.6 to boot...:cool:
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
no this is not a hero based rom. The best way to sum up this rom is like this. Once upon a time there was a set of twins. One was named Google Cupcake and it drove a fuel efficient yet handsome Chevy Malibu. THe other twin was Kate Beckinsale and she drove a 200+ mph Ferrari that was as reliable as a toyota.

Needless to say xRom is like Kate Beckinsale driving a Ferrari.

Hope that helps clear it up. ;)

And yes bluetooth works. Everything always works with this rom.
