More of the reason here. I have dumps to dig through all the time..looking through new AOSP source etc. Also Cy's code is (thankfully) available to the public as he has some great (and I mean great!) work done there.

You folks might see a 1.5r5 with some speed/stability and bat life updates before 1.6 is fully polished.

I try to get stuff out as fast as I can :)

Anything new might not make it if it isnt stable...thats my main goal with xROM. The more of the XDA communitys stuff i can squeeze in the better if its working proper.
[G1 Android Development] saprano614:
we appreciate all your hard work JAC. your roms , both hero and xrom, are great. they r probably the most stable i have tried. keep it up
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
@Manup, Mike and everyone else involved with xROM,

I feel terrible now for asking about the possible color change in the notification dropdown. I had no idea it would turn into such a fiasco with everyone & their dog asking y'all to change this and change that ... and I certainly had no idea things would take a slightly nasty turn by a couple of ungreatful bastards.

Please realize I was making a suggestion based upon my needs. My eyesight isn't the best, and with text being so small and dark, it was just very difficult for me to read against an equally dark background.

I believe the theme itself is gorgeous, and that's why I'm sitting here awaiting a new release even though Cyan's got his out already. The theme (and speed) of xROM have their hooks in me. And the major hook is theme overall. It sets this rom apart from the others. The suggestion I made was more of an accessibility issue, and it certainly wasn't a knock against Manup's creative ability or choices. I'm sure for most, that little problem I'm having reading the notifications hasn't even been noticed... they like it exactly like it is.

So I retract my request, and I'll just modify everything myself to suit my accessibility needs. That's no problem at all.

Please everyone, respect the time and talent that it takes to theme one of these roms. Manup clearly has talent oozing all over the place. I never should have asked for change, I should have only given a bug report (if any). I suggest we let his creative genius flow, wait for the next version of xROM, and just be thankful that someone is willing to take the time to give us a great looking theme that blows all the Sense/Rosie/Hero crap out the water.

Thanks guys.

Sorry for starting something that never should have, well, been started.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Don't sweat it man... your request was actually reasonable. I think it was the other requests regarding the Ev icon that's already been changed to 2G by Manup, and an ability to change colors to one's own liking, that caused the stir.

Frankly, Manup is pretty progressive in his updates, and while he will ultimately do what he likes (as he should because his theme is PIMP!), it's obvious that he is always thinking of ways to make his theme better as he finds things to change.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Don't worry about it. I know you weren't trying to cause problems. Manup is all for improving the themes and he's aware that the text is hard to read in some cases. It's stuff that is purely opinion that makes it hard for him. One person might like a rounded edge on something and someone else like a squared edge. He can't please them both.

If anyone has requests for changes to the theme send me an email and I will help Manup sort it all out and decide which changes will make the cut. Then if you don't like something you can blame me :D
[G1 Android Development] SEALBoy:
This build looks great, I think I'll flash later today. :D

Does anyone know if it supports WPA-Enterprise like CyanogenMod's?
[G1 Android Development] cwilliams:
Hey justanothercrowd,

I just rooted my myTouch and the first ROM I tried was eViL D's port of yours. It is awesome - way faster than stock, responsive keyboard, great look, stable, I'm loving it. I just wanted to thank you and everyone else in this community for their work.

I just hope eViL D keeps the myTouch ports of your ROM going until you start supporting saphire directly (hopefully :))
[G1 Android Development] dincp:
Still loving this thing. Thanks for all the work from all of you. Sorry to see the mudslinging on MaxPC from people that don't know what they are talking about.
[G1 Android Development] dills84:
Just a heads up. Notification audio started working again after i did the "fix"

BUT... after a few hours of use it will stop working again, and i'll have to reboot the phone to get it back. I tried to delete /system/bin/setPriority.sh again and the terminal said it was already deleted. So apparently something else is causing this?

Hmmmmm...

But I still continue to use this rom because well... Its the fastest ever... and looks great. :)
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
It was mentioned earlier in the thread that if you select a new notification tone, and let it play at least once, then you phone will basically know where to look for the notification sound... can't remember who said it, but that's all I did and never had a problem since :)
[G1 Android Development] dills84:
ive tried that but it still stops working after a few hours. its really weird.

I should also mention i'm using a ported rom on a Mytouch 3G :D

maybe thats my problem.
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
WOW! stumbled across xROM, as a previous Jesusfreke user when he came out with the 'root' ROM (what I would go back to when had issues) until CyanogenMod that took forward/improve on Jesusfreke.

Have been waiting until a more stable ROM functional CyanogenMod, (BTW tried almost everyone's version and until xROM) kept going back to either Jesusfreke or CyanogenMod (without themes as the amount of work/issues was not worth it any longer).

While I have found no issues on xROM (FC's - slow downs - etc.) faster and a clearer screen improvement has been a added plus, only the VERY DARK items/background make it very hard on my eyes to use. So I use a very light wallpaper and only have the background screens and a few items that are still VERY DARK and hard to see plus the icons are way cool.

If the background would be as light as the lightness say as the lighter downloaded notification bar (top part of the T-mobile wording in the notification bar) that would work...

The "flaming" from the article on which ROM is better as well as on the CyanogenMod page is also why I am looking at xROM as a replacement.

Keep up the excellent efforts and know that when folks take 'shots at your work' it is really a compliment. Sad as it is, '...why can we all not just get along...' sung to....:D
[G1 Android Development] manup456:
Buddy just wait until this next update there will be a theme which is xINVERT you can use which is white because as soon as the next update is droppped the theme will and this next one will be amazing bro trust so hold tight and you will see how bad a$$ the rom is going to be even as good as it is now.

@all

Sorry guys that the update is taking a little long but trust you wont be disappointed when we drop it so be patient it will come soon. :)
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Take all the time you guys need, patience is my middle name :)
[G1 Android Development] dills84:
Patience is key! I cant wait. Thanks for your hard work.
[G1 Android Development] acousticfish88:
@manup... was just about to ask if you could add xInvert to next the rom release and then I saw your post. Will donate as soon as I get paid next week. You are truly an artist my friend, keep up the great work.
[G1 Android Development] dincp:
Of course, we're patient. There's a reason this ROM is so stable. :)

Hey Mike and Manup...are you guys on twitter, too?
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
WOW...did a search and saw the 'tiger' does look awesome....Holding my breath...just kidding...when it is ready it is ready...
[G1 Android Development] thedominator:
I have no patience..

any idea when it might drop?

[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Set the swapiness for both Compcache and Linux swap to the same number. I don't know why but it messes up if they are different. Message me on GTalk if that doesn't work.
[G1 Android Development] Rmag37:
Hey, I'm running 1.5r4 and I'm not quite sure if this is the rom or the fact that this version has better browser, but I cant close the browser with the home button. Normally if I want to close(minimize) the browser I tap the home key and voila... not now, now nothing happens at all when I press the home key. No matter what app I'm using it ignores the home key. I know its not a hardware issue cause the home button still wakes up from sleep mode, relights the keyboard and starts me up in recovery mode. So... yeah figured id report this as I've never come across a bug like this.

Oh and I tried reflashing the ROM.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
That's not normal behavior... the home button should work. Do a wipe and tell us if that works.
[G1 Android Development] Rmag37:
Lol I figured it was a glitch, that's why I posted it. As far as wiping goes, I prefer not wiping when I upgrade roms... but if the problem persists I may have to.
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
@manup

This has almost nothing to do with xrom, but I just downloaded your skins for the weather flip clock widget, xtheme and xinvert, and I must say they are phookin amazing, and that's polite swearing :) I read earlier you were including xinvert for next update, so thought I should get both lol, any chance you can recomend some nice weather skins to go with you clocks? Or are you working on those too?

Many thanks again on an awesome job :)
[G1 Android Development] jaaronmoody:
wipe!!

I can confirm... that if you don't wipe, the home button AND call button behavior DO NOT function correctly. WIPE and your G1 shall be clean and without stink.... oh and ThIs IS MY FAVORITE STABLE ROM WITH WORKING BT!!!! If you don't like the THEME, try ION r2!!
[G1 Android Development] V_RocKs:
No audio indicator for SMS/MMS
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Reselect the notification in settings. If that doesn't work, wipe the phone and reinstall.
[G1 Android Development] saprano614:
that happens to me as well but not all the time. it seems to come and go
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
I agree with you.

This is the most advanced (BFS) but stable rom available today!

It just works ... it's that simple and great.

I've hopped back and forth from all the popular roms since last weekend. I've applied all the updates and kept up as they were released in rapid-fire succession (sometimes one right after the other at a pace of 3 within releases within one hour).

I kept having issues. I was wiping, formating, erasing and starting from scratch each time. But the releases continued to be plagued with most of the same problems each time.

Playtime is over for this week. I need my phone to work for a few days. So I finally gave up and came back to xROM. As I said, it just works. I'm so glad that JAC & Manup made the decision to ask us to be patient while they work on the next release. Instead of tarnishing the reputation of xROM, they've decided to take their time so they can give us the next xROM when it's properly cooked.

THANKS GUYS !

We appreciate that very wise decision.

xROM 1.5r4 still remains a fantastic rom.
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
we got the same case, flashing all the roms and got atleast the coolest rom

JaCxRom :D

im hopping for some updates that they can add :D
[G1 Android Development] cwilliams:
I am using evil D's port of this ROM to the MyTouch. I also have notifications which vibrate only. Was a clean install from a wipe. No amount of settings tweaking get it back, although I'll try any suggestions :)

Hope this eventually gets fixed, because I absolutely love this ROM and don't want to part with it, but its a big deal missing notifications.

Update: Shafty023's "Terminal Method" fix worked just great on 1.5r4 for MyTouch. Thanks Shafty!
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I know JAC was looking into making this ROM support the Sapphire but I'm not sure if/when he will be able to do it. I'm sure your problem is related to the port if you have tried all the suggestions that people gave you.

BTW, I don't know when it will be released but JAC and Manup have made a lot of progress with 1.6.
[G1 Android Development] cwilliams:
Thanks for the response. Yeah, I figured it was a problem with the port until I read about people experiencing it with the base version.

I just don't want to part with this ROM :) It's the first I've tried (just rooted a couple of days ago), and though I hear good things about Cyanogen's, I'm loving xROM to much to experiment yet!
[G1 Android Development] alexdancer2:
Is there anyway to change the lock screen to the one befor i like this one but i liked the older version better
[G1 Android Development] gn02256676:
flash v1.4 if you want to old lock screen, it's just as stable as this one
[G1 Android Development] drmosh:
I'm not sure if this is supposed to be fast, but I can't even answer calls sometimes. Not very fast at all.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
What are you talking about?
[G1 Android Development] drmosh:
When an incoming call comes in it can't even bring up the call screen. Just runs really slow trying to do that.
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
mine started doing that so i finally wiped (first time since v1.0). After the wipe its running as good as new. When was the last time you wiped? Or does someone have another method that doesnt involve the dreaded W word?
[G1 Android Development] eruscool:
i don't know what the big deal about wiping is, i like to wipe every time i flash, that way you know anything you run into will not be due to you not wiping. hell i like to wipe every once in a while just to start fresh. all you really have to do is re-install your programs. contacts and everything else automatically gets sync'd.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
If you are on 1.5r3 you need to delete the priority script.

su

rwsystem

rm -r /system/bin/setPriority.sh
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Use backup for root or manually copy your files off and you don't even have to reinstall your apps. I've been thinking about writing a script that will do that for me. I save my data too and I've already written one that takes out the system data for me.
[G1 Android Development] setzer715:
I wipe everytime too. But to add to what you said, if you launch market after a fresh wipe/install and go to my downloads it will have all apps you download from the market still listed there and ready to download/install again. BUT, if you back out of market before installing them, they will be gone when you go back. So, turn on wifi, then enter market, download/install. Easy!
[G1 Android Development] jigsfts:
can i install this rom with hard spl?
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
I refuse to answer because you didn't read the first post.
[G1 Android Development] dixxa:
HAHA so true :D people never read.
[G1 Android Development] jmon777:
wow!!!!

this is so freaking sweet!!! i have been with cm since his 1st rom on xda but wow this is fast!!! been running lots of bench marks to prove it too.:D

cant wait till full version donut!
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
xROM PAWNS heheh,

continue the support :D
[G1 Android Development] srt4mn:
Is there any way we can get rid of the Stericson (sp) lock screen? If I am listening to music on my phone with headphones and I go to change a song or something, I sometimes have to jumble between "Menu, Power, Menu, Power, Menu, Power" just to get the screen up. Only ROM I have ever had to do that and it's the only one I've used that has that new lock screen.
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
just curious as to how the lockscreen Music "Work in Progress" is coming along? if the phones locked, but you can still get to your media thats playing, like you can get the notifications, well that'd be tough!

xROM has been awesome and stable for me. the wake up issue is irrelevant for me as i actually enjoy beating my phone up to get it to wake up haha

thanks for the good hard work on the ROM guys
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
I went through every single rev of this rom without having to wipe and had zero issues until the last rev was released. Up until a few days ago my phone was working as fast as it did on the first day i installed xrom v1.0

I unfortunately dont like wasting my time wiping when it's totally not needed every single time i flash a new rom.
[G1 Android Development] gsgleason:
Just wanted to say that I've gone through several CYAN mods, several hero roms, JF, etc, and this has been my favorite.

It's quite a bit faster than my previous experiences and I'm pretty sure this is going to stay as my rom for a while.

The only issue I've had was with the default min cpu frequency of 128000 which seems to take a long time to wake up.
[G1 Android Development] bole_to:
Firstly I would like to thank the devs for their great work. This rom is awesome perfect mix of beauty and brains (and speed as well). I've been using this rom since past 2-3 weeks and I am in love with it. I am having two issues with it, one is regarding the notification ringtone (i tried the fix mentioned in the fourm..didnt work), the second one is lot of force close on the home screen. I think this might be due to an app I installed..wallpaper plus and/or my 7 home screens. I am thinking about wiping and installing all the apps over. Before I do that I want to know if its better to wait for the new version if it will be out soon, or just to go ahead and flash again ?

Once again...thanks Devs..!
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Most of us have changed the min cpu frequency to the 254k number. You should do it too...it makes a noticeable difference.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
I would wait. The next build will be worth the wait.
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
So it's coming out that soon, eh? ;)
[G1 Android Development] bole_to:
Thx, will wait :)
[G1 Android Development] gsgleason:
I failed to mention that I did do that and it's much better. What I was getting at is that this was my only 'issue' which really isn't an 'issue' at all. =)
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
found issue: i have 3 alarms every morning and only the first one gets thru. if the screen locks back up the other two get stuck until i unlock the phone. :/ any suggestions?

also how is the music on the lockscreen work in progress going? i asked earlier but wanna ask again because i really want to know lol. guess ill just be patient for the next build.
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
According to maxisma's latest release, the music on the lockscreen is working, but can't confirm as xrom is just too damn good to leave :)
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
i concur! it IS too good to leave! thanks for the music update.

HOWEVER the alarm getting stuck with the lockscreen might be a deal breaker. ive been late to work 2 days in a row now cuz of this. well l.a. traffic spikes didnt help but ya.

any solution for the lockscreen affecting the alarm issue??
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
There are a few problems that can be attributed to that new lock screen. It just isn't ready for prime time yet. My suggestion would be to reinstall 1.4r3 until 1.6 comes out.
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
aaaaaah good suggestion. darn tho whenever i downgrade i like to wipe... hmmm ill try not wiping this time since ill be going down and waiting patiently.

.

.

.

SOUNDS BAD !!! hahaah hope my gf doesnt read that
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Curiously, I don't have that problem. Do what Mike says, or else wipe and reflash.
[G1 Android Development] Tydiz:
Straight to Voicemail

I'm pretty sure I haven't seen this problem in the thread yet so I thought I would point it out.

I have one of my contacts set to go straight to voicemail(a girl that I do NOT want to talk to) but it doesn't seem to be working at all. When she does call, hell's gates opens and demons flood through(which I'm pretty sure causes swine flue), but also, it rings about 6 times before it does go to voicemail.

I'm assuming that its not a commonly used feature, which may be why the bug hasn't been caught(I say bug loosly, it may just be my phone or some other interesting factor) . Can anyone verify that this isn't working?
[G1 Android Development] mike105105:
LOL....funniest thing I read all week...

Mike
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
working ok on mine.
[G1 Android Development] turboyo:
I use that feature (for the same reasons) and it works fine
[G1 Android Development] Tydiz:
Oye veyyo! Are you saying I'm cursed with this issue?

Oh well, I guess the reject button will be my best friend for a while, until she leaves me alone :S
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Why is xROM full of dudes who can't get the women to leave them alone? This really is the ROM for the cool people ;)
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Either that or there are a lot of crazy women out there.
[G1 Android Development] Koshuu:
Perhaps a little off topic? I just think all the talk of wiping or for that matter not wiping is hilarious. Of course i understand what its all in regards to, but just out of context its pretty funny stuff. Especially when people talk about disliking wiping lol, sorry guys seemed funny to me. I know i cant be the only one whose thought that..
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
I hate to ask this, but ...

In light of the Google fiasco, could y'all please wrap up the new update the best you can and release it right away before all devs and/or this forum gets shut down or locked (at least temporarily)?

:) I only ask this half-jokingly.

I figure if you get the rom out there now, maybe y'all can just issue patches or scripts to fix anything that acts up.

We've all been looking so forward to the next great version of xROM, and things don't look so bright, at least for the near-future.
[G1 Android Development] Tydiz:
Oh C'mon Mike...I propose to challenge you to find a woman who is not crazy! But this lady thing that won't leave me alone has Mad Cow Disease(or something like it...maybe worse?)

Anyway, I think she's stopped trying to contact me today...maybe I can finally go to sleep :)
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
lol, why was i thinking the same thing yesterday. "I dont need to wipe all the time". Damn my co workers must think i stink.

No kidding. I woke up to see all that news splattered throughouy XDA and on every RSS feed i read.

Sadly, the WinMo and iPhone fanboys are making mince meat out of us now. Its sad when Google is the bad guy of that bunch.

More on topic, i agree! A half baked update to xROM will beat WinMo or iPhone any day. So send it on. As for updates and fixes, we might as well get used to doing stuff ourselves since we will be cooking our own roms from source very soon. Damn GooPoo!
