I can add the extra widgets when I come home from work today. I'm also gonna dig up a different battery icon, skin the package installer, fix dark_header.9.png, and ic_notification_overlay.9.png(for real this time). Should be up tonight (which is probably tomorrow morning your time). Thanks for using smorg.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] athurdent:
i really love these icons, but a few are missing for me (i.e. barcode scanner, atrackdog, facebook/babbler). if thats not asking to much, could you maybe share the icon .psd file(s) so one can try to make icons as close as possible to the original ones?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
ahhhh... if i only had the icon .psd file. I got these icons off of iconarchive.com (i think).... Tried to find the link, but I downloaded them quite some time ago and can't even find the any more... sorry. I'm down to share anything posted, just can't find the original icons :confused::confused::confused:
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] athurdent:
okay, then i'll try by hand.

i gave it a quick shot, not 100% happy but maybe this is useful for someone.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
looks good to me... good job:)

Is there anything special about the position of the breaks in the outer circle of the icons? The can be at 4 different angles - do they signify anything, or is it just random?

How is the white battery working out for everyone?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] amarkow2:
i downloaded ur widgets zip but could not find that power control widget...the one with the 5 different icons on it that google just came out with from donut...i like the way yours is skinned but am not sure where it is???
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
Long press on the home screen, then select widgets, then power control. That widget is built in to settings.apk.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] amarkow2:
oh ok...if i am using a different theme...can i just pull that apk and install it? will that work?

or is there a way to get that widget out and have it as its own apk?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
You should be able to

adb push Settings.apk /system/app

But I've never tried it. I would try in recovery.... but if you have the auto sign tool, the easiest way would be to extract the widget images and put them into what ever theme your using.

re: battery life

I have seen no difference in battery performance on 3.9.7 since flashing your theme.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] rk0:
I love this theme. Keep it up!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
Oops. I meant how are you guys liking the new white battery meter.

Thanks! I like it too. Updates will most likely slow for now. I wanna change a couple more things though. Thanks for the positive feedback!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] rsfaze:
I like the battery. My volume control isn't skinned but still nice and colorful. I didn't wipe when coming from the pre 3.9.7 rom/theme though
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
The volume control widget? or the horizontal progress bar volume control? I removed the widgets from the theme, but they're available for download as well.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] wesbalmer:
VERY NICE, the VK isn't for me though. Great work
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] rsfaze:
Ya I noticed u removed the widgets. I just did a wipe and reinstalled, but when I try to install the audio widget it says cannot install in this rom. I'm getting that message on another widget too
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] freaklt1z:
im getting a force close every time i try to open the email app. i installed the rom+theme
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
Ok, I'll check it out tomorrow, its a day off for me... can you give me anymore details, does it force close as soon as you open it, or is it when you try to access a certain action within the app?

I don't personally use the email app, so I'm not sure if this is a cyanogen 3.9.6 issue, a theme issue or maybe something else.... I'll definitely look into it though.

Has anyone else had this issue?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] rsfaze:
Audio Widget and Prog_signed widget, sync, lock it's looking like you might have forgotten to sign most of them.

can I use a different wallpaper for the lockscreen? I dont want it to be the same one on the homescreen. Is this possible? How can I do this?

thx
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
Open up framework-res.apk, replace zzlockscreenback.png with the image of your choice, then resign your theme, and flash
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] freaklt1z:
im actually finding a couple of issues now since i flashed it late last night then went to bed. ill list them with as much detail as possible

1. email app forceclose - when i hit the email app from the app launch list, i get an immediate forceclose, everytime. "the application Email (process com.android.email) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." ive tried re-booting it several times, but still get the forceclose

2. Messaging app doesnt show specific threads - this one i came across this morning when i got a text message. i opened the notification bar and click on my message, but it goes to a blank screen titled Messaging, then after a second or 2, it goes to the screen that shows all threads and still shows my message as having been unread. i try to click the specific thread again, goes to a blank screen again, then back to the all threads scree. when i try to select New Message, it does the same thing. Im completely unable to directly read my messages, respond to them, or even compose new ones.

3. phone is super slow sometimes, even when i dont have many tasks running. i did not have this problem when i flashed CM 3.9.7 by itself yesterday. I flashed the rom+theme file because i wanted HTC IME.

My phone details:

I have a black G1 with ADP1

CM recovery 1.4

Latest radio and spl from here: http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/

1gb sandisk card, formatted : 676mb fat32 & 222mb ext3

I know my sd card sucks, but CM3.9.7 was running great by itself before i wiped+flash this theme+rom
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
Ok hold on, I'm about to flash the same rom/theme you're using. I actually theme some of my paid apps, and remove many system apps that I don't use in the version i use on my phone personally, so I need to test the version you are having trouble with.

BTW, are you using compcache? I noticed you have an ext3 partition... did you wipe your dalvik-cache off of your sdcard before you flashed?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] freaklt1z:
no idea about that dalvik-cache. i did not see that in the guide i followed to format my card. i used this guide:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4107149#post4107149

basically i formatted my card using apps2sd, upgraded the EXT2 to EXT3, and thats it. i didnt see anything else
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] freaklt1z:
looks like compcache is the same as swap. if so, then no, i didnt format a swap partition. its only a 1gig card, i dont even know what class, so i didnt think it would be helpful. im waiting for a new 8gb class 6 card to arrive, i just ordered it 2 days ago
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
I don't have any of those issues... Everything runs smooth for me.

So, what I'm getting at here, is that Cyanogens rom automatically moves your data/app, data/app-private, and dalvik-cache to whatever EXT file system you create. When you wiped, your dalvik-cache remained on your sdcard and most likely, right now your phone is acting up because its trying to read the dalvik on your sd from an earlier build. Try this:

Warning, this would require a wipe, do this in terminal

su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /system/sd
rm -r dalvik-cache
reboot recovery

After that, wipe then re-apply the theme.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
I have some mixed feelings about compcache... It seems pretty speedy in the beginning, but after some usage, seems to slow the phone down more than normal.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] freaklt1z:
before i read this, i wiped then reinstalled just the cm3.9.7 rom by itself, and everything is working fine. but i will wipe dalvik-cache using terminal, then wipe and reflash the rom+theme again and ill post the results

do u have any good threads/guides on compcache/swap i can read. recommend that i do anything besides what u have told me already?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
I actually stopped using compcache. I don't feel its all that necessary, and I sincerely doubt the increase in performance is worth the trouble of configuring and testing it.

I don't use apps2sd anymore either. I own a lot of apps, but don't feel the need to have them all installed at once lol.

Not that I have anything against these mods, I just don't feel they're necessary. My phone runs great, and looks the way I want it to.:D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
So i figured out that I did sign them, but forgot to delete the META-INF folders. Anyway, re-uploaded them, and I tested them all to make sure they're working. heres the link: http://sharebee.com/31ba06af
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Glen L:
thanks it worked!

Just noticed that the Ongoing notification for the HTC Music app is unreadable when you drop the notification bar down... Text is black on dark grey. Any chance you can fix that in the next release?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ZilverZurfarn:
Same goes for Twidroid notifications. Impossible to read (even when my glasses are on my nose)

/Mats
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
I'll take a look around and see if I can find it....

This is something I really wanna work on, unfortunately htc music is not open source so its gonna be kinda tricky. I need to tell htc music to use white text, but I'm not exactly what sure hex I need to edit... ill play with it tonight after I'm done with work.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ZilverZurfarn:
...How about telling us what to change, to change the notification background? Dark is cool, but for some of us, not optimal.

Is it an image or is it some hex value in one of those blasted compiled XML files?

/Mats
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
its called status_bar_item_background_normal.9.png I recommend using Armyranger251's from the dark hero theme. That should make it so that both the white and black text are visible. Any light color should work but I've found gray to be the best with both colors of text.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ZilverZurfarn:
Thank you! Still a little hard on my old eyes, but it's at least possible to read black text on this bg.

For anyone else who'd like to try this trick, here's what I did:

Extracted framework-res.apk from Smorg, replaced /res/drawable/status_bar_item_background* with the ones from the Dark Hero theme.

Rebooted to recovery, dropped to console, mounted /system

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

reboot

/Mats
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
So... I am making some progress. I've got ongoing downloads from the browser to be white, but still having trouble with HTC Music. It's weird, I use a few apps that have ongoing notifications, and some of them have white text while others don't.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ZilverZurfarn:
...so what you're saying is, that the app that leaves an item for display under the status bar, also controls what font color to use? Sounds pretty stupid to me. Ideally, what to display should come from the app, but how to display it should be up to the status bar IMO. At least there should be some way for the status bar to override some formatings.

/Mats
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
Oops double post, lesson learned: don't post from your G1
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jonnybueno:
Well, some apps are dependent upon the framework, while others provide their own resources. For example, most ongoing notifications are controlled by xml files in framework-res.apk/res/layout.... however, I have learned that downloads in the browser reference an xml file in downloadprovider.apk instead. I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to change the notification text for HTC Music without editing services.jar though... Htc music was never meant to be on this phone, so I wouldn't expect it to play nice.

I agree that the framework should be able to override things like that, but our phones are quite hacked, and we have some of the only android phones in the world that can actually use white text in that particular spot. I sincerely doubt that google had deep customization in mind when they made the framework work that way.

Trust me though, this really bothers me, and I'm gonna try and figure it out to the best of my knowledge. I'll give it another week and then maybe I'll pester Stericson.

I found this tutorial for running the android emulator:

http://android.modaco.com/content/g...-and-running-a-full-rom-with-the-market-etc/#

In order to run a ROM it said to download the system.img for it. In the post they only listed an old version of Cyan. How would i covert a ROMs .zip to a system.img?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captsammy:
If I wanted to root my G1, but retain the stability of the Tmobile ROM, which would be the best path to follow? Reason for rooting is for the tether ability.

I LOVE the Hero interface, but it sounds kinda dicey on stability. Lag doesn't concern me too much, as long as it doesn't affect calls.

I need BlueTooth to sync to my car stereo (actually not sure of the stock ROM does that, got my G1 yesterday). Another must is the WIFI. GPS is a major gravy item, but not a must have. Really diggin the Bubble application. Would love to have a cooler looking clock like I see on Hero, but the retro from the market is not bad.

I don't really care much about playing music, and I will probably never use the camera.

Glad to have found this site, I am having waaaay too much fun with this phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
Cyanogen's latest non-experimental builds are probably your best bet. They're fast, stable, bluetooth, GPS, and of course WiFi.

If you want the awesome Hero Clock, look on the market for Beautiful Widgets :D or Weather Widget - donate for $1.49 or something like that.

First...welcome to XDA, second...just make sure you don't fall victim to useless Threads or Post (Like most Noobs do) without doing some extensive searching, pretend your a Ninja creeping through the Forums learning and observing and when you feel confident...Attack!!! (Meaning make your Thread or Post) Clearly I'm not talking about this Thread as you posted in the correct section...so on to your question, you say you want stability well look no further than CyanogenMod v. 3.6.8.1 but if your feeling edgy then upgrade to CyanogenMod v. 3.9.1...obviously Root your G1 first and then flash Cyanogen's Recovery Image v. 1.4 to complete the ROM. Everything you need is here in XDA-Developers/Dream...have fun. :cool:

P.S. Since your a fan of Hero also, once your done everything I recommend flashing the Dark Hero theme.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katsup2005:
Im kind of a fan boy myself i would say try haykuro's 5.0.2h or g build they stable and are the best looking roms without needing a theme or skin. Features are great its way to go if you ask mr or try his ion rom its fast and very stable but you lose features like exchange and a pdf viewer, etc.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diceman4:
The benefit you get with Cyanogen though is that he is constantly updating his ROM to make it faster and more stable.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
fat32, ext2 (upgrade to ext3 using upgrade_fs command in recovery console). You can throw in linux-swap but you'll have to configure it your self with a a2sd script.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captsammy:
What size for each? Can I not start with ext3? My desktop is running Ubuntu.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
Use gparted. Ext3 should be about 600-700mb so give the rest for fat32. You must start with fat32 and then ext3. Must be in that order.

Best rogers rom is Soulife's... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=523608

HTC Dialer looks up contacts as you are dialing, it's really slick. You can type out a name via the numbers, or a number, it'll sort and bring up the matches from contacts. Soulife's rogers is MEGA stable, no force closes, lightning fast with the bonus features like Exchange and HTC Dialer.

Plus there is a version that doesn't require the new SPL if you wish to not risk a brick. In my opinion, this outshines Cyan's.

It comes stock with normal/factory theme. If you want there is a kickass Hero theme available as well for the ROM.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimphishmonger:
Cyans roms have exchange support through an app called Work Email (pulled from a MyTouch), even in the stable 3.6.8.1 build. Although, 4.0 Stable is just around the corner, and its been significantly improved since the last STABLE release. Depends what you are looking for.....I've become somewhat fond of Cyanogen's constant updating, but the choice is yours....+1 for open source and CyanogenMod STABLE release
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vr24:
Work Email is not a real exchange a solution. It doesn't sync contacts or calendar.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoBlade:
You can get replacement dialers as well that also serch contacts when dialing... Its certainly one feature I miss from my N95 along with fast global search. I used an app once which enabled global search on the homescreen and it worked like a charm, sadly I've forgotten what it was called as I now use QuickDial for direct calls, texts and as a shortcut home for most used apps.

Going back to the original question though I haven't flashed any Hero ROMs due to speed (no matter how tempting it is!) so can only vouch for the Cupcake releases. As it stands Cyanogen's is the most recent and stable out there however Dude is also returning soon. If I had to pick one ROM then it would be Cyanogen's (Stable version, unless you're happy to deal with issues then pick the Experimental one).

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackElvis79:
I'd start off with JF's 1.5 or The Dudes cupcake, just until you get more familiar with all the other mods and scripts and all that jazz. I recommend those first because they don't require any partitions, special SPL's, A2SD, Swapper, or any of that other stuff. Once you get all that stuff down, then you can go nuts. Just make sure you make back-ups.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrooklynAvi:
Cyanogen All the Way

Hey,

Welcome. I started with JF when I rooted because I watched these videos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOo2V9qCauc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ua8ljJAnTpc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC-T1Yf4m4s

If you are planning to root, which I think you are and most definitely should, these videos are a great place to start. I would skip the third video in favor of Cyanogen's ROM since it is more stable and much faster. Plus, A2SD is done automatically. I learned the hard way by doing it myself on JF and when I queried the forums here about it, everyone recommended Cyanogen's ROM as the solution to the problem (which is was). You will not be disappointed. I will experiment with others especially since I will have two G1s but I think if you are looking for a nice, stable, fast ROM with the latest updates, his are best from the three I have tried so far.

All the best and good luck.

I've searched and can't apparently think of the right combination of words to describe this wonky behavior that is driving me out of my fricking mind.

Here's the issue - someone texts me, I hit the envelope, it starts to open it up, then I switch right away to the keyboard to actually coherently type a response and without fail the keyboard registers the first few letters in the text message and then goes right into trying to match an autocomplete match in the phonebook and kicks out of the text message completely.

The only way to stop this behavior is to sit there like a retard waiting patiently for the phone to reorient itself after opening the keyboard and then give it a few extra seconds just to be safe.

I could kill a midget I'm so fed up with this.

Ideas?
