I finally got a chance to provide the update as requested. Please RE-READ the first post. Internals of the build have changed quite a bit, but is still based off of V2.3. I think you'll find the build to run much faster & smoother than before. I hope you enjoy the new build. As posted in the first post:

V2.7.2 - New Build based off of V2.3 that includes the following:

-New Kernel based off my Magic Build that includes the new compcache-0.5.4 modules & swap_free_notify_patch. Compcache now enabled by default

-New init structure! Keep it Simple Stupid. ;-) a2d is not enabled by default, use the a2sd update previded below!

-Removed QuickOffice from build. Warez Free!

-Added HTC_CIME.apk for complete Chinese Support as requested.

-Updated the APN list and fixed the Network Search issue! I'm sure this will make many European users happy! This required reverting back to the stock libhtc_ril.so and updating the build.prop files. Now you'll notice an H most of the time when using 3g. It's ok. :-)

-Updated both the modules.sqf & updated xbin.sqf from Magic Build.

I hope you enjoy the build. This will be the last update till either a donut/eclair build is released or something majorly happened since I uploaded it. LOL. I tested the build atleast 2 weeks ago. Sorry for the delay. Take care.

It's about time you posted !!!! You gave me this build 2 weeks ago to beta test!!!

Just Kidding All, Just a Joke :)

Nice to see an update on this man ...

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Yeah I know, I know.... But this build don't have QuickOffice! LOL.... I also haven't posted themed version yet. So I still have that to do on my list. Time to go hunt down an enomther. :D ROFL. Take care.

Hi guybrushtx,

Thanks for testing the rom! I appreciate it & the feedback. The primary reason for this rom was to mainly provide an updated version of Virtudude's V3 mod w/ the CRC1 updates that several people had requested in his thread & because I had a few friends that were running it also, but use ( & work at) T-Mobile & they liked the new T-Mobile boot flash gif.

Thanks for confirming my thoughts on the problem w/ your email account. As I posted in first post, I hadn't wiped first also and had to go in & reset up my accounts as well. I'm sure that's because of the updated mail program that comes w/ the CRC1 updates. I'll update the first post to reflect that, so others will know. I noticed you stated you went back to the stock MMS program. I'll upload the version that comes from the CRC1 updates into the first post so it's provided & the HTC boot.gif as well. I used rgv151's updated MMS version because of the options that are allowed compared to the stock version. And why I chose the stock HTC_IME & included the HTC_CIME are because that's what was included in the Virtudude's ROM. If you enable the HTC_CIME, it provides the exact same layout as the alternative HTC_IME vk. To be honest, I hardly use the vk & prefer the real keyboard.

This rom is work in progress. I do plan on extracting /system/frameworks in the next update so it can be themed & I'll be happy to swap out the HTC_IME vk & any other changes people request. But my primary goal was to simply provide an update to Virtudude's V3 Mod. :) Again thanks for the feedback! Take care.
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Just FYI, I got a chance this afternoon to actually get a complete android dev setup configured on one of my linux boxes. :D I've sync'ed up w/ the repo & I've started compiling a new 2.6.27 kernel that'll contain the latest security patch. It's going to be pretty much a stock kernel but support tethering, cramfs, cifs, etc. I'll be including it in the next release after I make sure there's no problems. ;) Take care.
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Installed and in under 2 hours widgets screwed up about 5 times and email stopped pushing once dunno went back to my backup which is 2.9.1 with the beta theme.

There is a possibility that the new stuf doesn't mix well with the old stuff and causes problems.
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Wow. That's not good. I'll wait for Soulife to use the CRC1 stuff to update his rom then. :) And I'll keep working on this one for now. ;) I'm having good luck w/ sticking to the older kernel. I'm updating the first post now w/ a new build info. :D
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
New Beta V6 posted info & link posted in first port. Feedback appreciated! Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] chicojd:
The only thing I'd recommend is a changelog, by version number. We love testing these ROMs, but it's nice to know what's changing from version to version.

Message app force close

Hi, i just flashed your rom, thank you for your hardwork, however after logging in, i pressed the message app. Then i clicked new message, immediately, it says process com.android.mms has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

It is a huge problem for me, i cannot message.:) The rom is fast!
[G1 Android Development] jaroque:
Me too me too! :(
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Hi chicojd,

Thanks for the feedback. I'll update the first to reflect the changes from here on out to let you know what I've changed. V5 was never released. I held off on it since I wanted to update the kernel as well as make the changes around in the layout of /system/framework, etc.
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Hazeline/jaroque,

Thanks for testing & reporting this, I'm uploading an updated version w/ the original Mms.apk from the CRC1 update. I'm not sure why rgv151's Mms.apk isn't playing nice w/ this latest build. It's ran fine in the past. If you need Mms working quickly, the V4 build is still available for flashing till I get the fixed build posted.
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Ok, the fixed version of V6 has been posted. The first post has been updated to reflect the changes. I'm sorry for the Mms problem, & I hope I took care of the requests that were made. I did a complete wipe when flashing V6.1 and I agree, it does seem smoother w/ the updated kernel, ie no multi-touch patch included. :D If there's any other requests or feedback I'd appreciate it. Once all major bugs have been taken care of I'll close this thread & start an "real" thread for just "KB7SQI's Roger Mod." Thanks again.
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Ok installed 6.1 pretty much right after it went up and its still running really really smooth. I setup apps2sd the old manual way havent done swap yet. This thing is running great though nice and smooth widgets no issues so far and extremely responsive seen a couple instances where swap woulda made a diffrence so that will be next thing I do.

You should add apps2sd but not make it required so if u have it fine if you dont fine as well as swap support or userinit.sh support same thing if its there it will use if not it wont.
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Thanks for testing NexVision. I know you've been pushing Soulife's builds for sometime, so I appreciate your feedback. :) I do agree, the 6.1 build is running pretty smooth. I haven't had time to really push it yet, but I have about 32 apps installed, still have 37 megs free & it's running great. No issues. I'm going to run it like this for the next few days & see how it does.

The kernel does support swap btw, you just need to set it up manually. I also included the lucid script for pushing apps2sd as well. I know it's still manual though. I've been looking at how I want to include support for apps2sd, swap, etc, but not turn them automatically. I'm still learning/studying everyone's work. lol. I thought it'd be best to get the "core" rom working smooth first. Looks like I'm starting to get there. Any feedback on ipv6 support, or any thing else I left out of the default kernel build? Thanks again for testing! Take care.
[G1 Android Development] Shady Gambino:
Awwwww, this was one of the main draws for me. I hate the MSS with white background. I wasn't having any problems with the enhanced Mms.apk. Is the stock Mms.apk you reverted to white or black background?

Also, I'm glad you swapped the stock vk for the enhanced one, helps when typing short messages, you don't have to switch typing modes for punctuation, just hold a character down.

Nice work on the mod!
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Thanks for the feedback. It has the black background. I'm not sure why rgv151's enhanced Mms.apk stopped working w/ the latest version. Since I was short on time, I went ahead & reverted back to the stock version to get the issue resolved quickly. I'm going to see if I find the problem over the weekend. :) Take care.
[G1 Android Development] jaroque:
Thanks! This new update works great. I've been looking for a update to Virtudude v3. =)
[G1 Android Development] laphoneuser:
Thank you!

For the past month or two, I've been flashing every ROM I can get my hands on, but for one reason or another, I was never happy.

Until now.

A BIG thank you to you, as well as all the developers who work so hard on these ROM's.

This is the ROM I'm sticking with (until the new, faster, Hero ROM comes out).

THANK YOU!
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
jaroque/laphoneuser,

Thanks for testing the latest version of the rom. I appreciate the feedback. I'm still going to leave 6.1 considered "Beta" thru tomorrow & then remove v4. Over the weekend, I'm going to start looking at apps2sd, swap, etc. But all of those things will be off by default. Any other feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] mat_pav:
I found out that the LED notification for new mails ( exchange mail ) dont work. On Virtudude v3 LED worked. Does any one have the same problem?
[G1 Android Development] Shady Gambino:
Flashed the newest build today. New VK working well, mms working well. There is slight delay sometimes with the vk in messaging, not sure why, if I find out will let you know. Good work regardless. :)

I've noticed the same problem. I'm trying to track down the problem. I'm hoping to find it over the weekend. Thanks for finding this.

Thanks for testing & the feedback. I'll do some testing tomorrow for this as well as the LED problem w/ the new Mail.apk.
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
I dunno what it is about the ROMS out there but this one as well as cyanogen seem to work great for a short while and then lag the hell out when im using it maybe I use my phone more then others maybe I use more of my phone at once then others I dunno but I am once again back on my backup ROM of 2.9.1 as this is the only ROM I can run without wanting to smash my phone.... I gotta get some dam time to get to UPS hopefully I can get there on Mon... I need a update :( :(
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Hey NexVision,

Sorry you've ran into problems running the rom. After I created V6.1 & installed V6.2 over it, I've been running it the same way w/ only 35 apps installed. I have 37 megs of ram free & I haven't experienced any FC's, and haven't rebooted except to install V6.2 once. I even tested creating a modified "Hero" theme modifying only HTCLauncher, the framework-res.apk & services.jar in /system/framework, & swapping out the boot.gif in /system/media. I flashed it right after installing V6.2. The changes weren't huge, but it's still running fine. I always have ITweet, Denta, HelloIM, and a couple of other programs running in the background. Besides the mentioned missing LED notification from the newer Mail.apk, I haven't had any other problems. How does compare to how you're running the phone? Besides using apps2sd? When i was running v4 w/ apps2sd pushed via the lucid script I didn't have any issues either. During the day while out & about besides the above programs running, I usually use the browser, do email, run ConnectBot for SSH forwarding & connect to my system remotely w/ VNC along w/ making phone calls & doing some texting. I've even tested using WIFI Tether & running CoPilot GPS software, which loves space & memory.
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Pretty similar to my load, mine actually gets down to 20mb free though I have about 81 82 apps installed and I think now im gonna blame google voice since I use the google voice app for my calling out and youmail. I think these things maybe killing it but dont have a problem on soulife 2.9.1.
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Sounds like we do run things pretty similar. When I run w/ apps2sd, I usually have right around 75-80 apps installed. Biggest difference is I don't run compcache or use a swap. How big of a swap partition do you run? I've read of several people having issues w/ that after running for a few days. Back when I was "testing" the different Hero builds, I used swap, but w/ the stock builds or Rogers/HTC builds, I've never used them. I even have a 32 meg swap partion on my card. Since I run OpenSolaris/Linux as my primary operating systems daily, I know how important swap is, but so far I haven't seen the need for it on my phone yet. I don't even run swap on my two Sharp Zaurus. ;) They only have 64 megs of ram. Quick question though, have you seen a difference in battery life? Mine seems to have improved since creating/installing V6.1/6.2.
[G1 Android Development] xREVOx:
battery life is much better compared to hero but the same as 2.9.2
[G1 Android Development] CC CEO:
do u have to install this over 6.1? because i get fc's galore when i install 6.2
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Haven't even setup swap yet on it well I got switchrom installed and backed up a couple of my choices gonna try 6.2 now Cause if u remember 2.9.2 was total fail for me also.
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
Imtryin toget to a computer in the meantime cause i wanna update too. But so far the onlycomputers i can get behind icant get the Time i need to do what i want. Patience... lol
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Just installed 6.2 and cant sign into google or market wont launch at all ill try 6.1 then 6.2.
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Ok...I'ved pulled the V6.2. I guess my late night updating/testing wasn't such a good idea. :rolleyes: I just did a wipe/test & saw the same issues. V6.1 runs smooth besides two minor fixes. I'll fix them in the next release. I apologize for the mistakes. I'll be looking into the problem w/ Mail.apk later this evening.
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Soulife, I'm sure you're going crazy not working on a rom. lol I'm still looking forward to your next release as well. It's apparent that re-signing all the apks caused the issue w/ my v6.2. I guess I'm going to have to pick your brain on some stuff here in the future. ;) Take care.
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Ok installed 6.1 and set it up then 6.2 set overclock and am running good so far we will see.
[G1 Android Development] NexVision:
Ok that experiment failed miserably just flashed 2.8.2b :) going back to old school...
[G1 Android Development] bitjeklein:
Hi KB7SQI (what a name :D ),

Thanks for suplying us with a new ROM.

I see that your ROM is not on www.androidspin.com, you should have it there! That's great for more publicity and visibility!

I have the same issue with all roms I tried (I tried all rogers's roms), they become slower and slower over time.

1) Has this something to do with using Exchange?

I love the exchange support on the Rogers Roms because they sync contacts and calendar too.

2) Does using Apps2SD speed things up? I am not convinced, may be that's one of the reasons of the slow performance?

3) That said is it possible when using apps2sd to choose which apps you want internal, and which apps you want on the sdcard? If so, how can we do that?

That way you can have all your critical apps internal for better performance, and have the ones you use now and then on the sdcard.

4) Does anyone know how to tell which custom ROM is installed on the G1?

Thanks a lot guys,
[G1 Android Development] mat_pav:
For me Apps2SD did the job. Before the apps ware all installed in the main memory and the ROM start to slowing down after a while. Now with the apps installed on SD i have about 70MB free internal memory and the phone runs smooth all the time. ( SD card CLASS 6 )
[G1 Android Development] mat_pav:
Is there any way to get the new Advanced Launcher working on this rom. I installed it but i get stuck on HTC logo. KB7SQI do you think its possible?

LINK: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=540880
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Hi bitjeklein,

Thanks for trying my version of the Rogers/HTC Rom. :) KB7SQI is my amateur radio call sign. It's kinda stuck w/ me over the years. lol.

I actually prefer the Rogers/HTC dream roms for the dialer, camera & the mail app. I don't use exchange, but I still prefer it over the stock Mail client that comes w/ the other builds. I've also spent lots of time going thru all the other Rogers/HTC builds waiting for a fast/stable 100% working hero build. Those guys are doing a great job working on it, but for now I'll keep using a build like this.

Probably one of the biggest differences w/ one of Rogers/HTC builds is how much space the dalvikvm uses in the /data space. Perfect example while I was updating this build over the weekend, on a clean wipe, I start out w/ 62 megs free using the latest build. After installing roughly 35 apps, I currently have 34 megs free in /data. As your /data fills up, you'll notice the rom start getting slower. I'd say most of that space is used by the vm. I know Soulife was looking into this back in his 2.8.2 builds. He should have a new system up & running soon. I'm looking forward to seeing what he cooks up.

With apps2sd, it's all or nothing. You really don't have the option to decide what stays in ram. Oh & to answer your first question about androidspin. I was honored to be asked if I'd like them to host the build & all the information about it, but this originally started out as a weekend project for a couple of buddies, & here a month later, I'm still working on it. :eek: So, I asked if they didn't mind holding off a bit longer while I atleast got 99% of my mistakes fixed. ;) Hope that answers your questions. Take care.
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
I'm pretty sure it won't work w/ out quite a bit of modding since the Roger's builds are based off the "HTC" version of cupcake. Soulife would be one to ask about it though really. I'm still trying to learn all this stuff. ;)
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Just FYI, the first post has been completely re-organized & updated. Please take the time to re-read it. Thanks again for support for this build. It really did start out as just a weekend project. lol :D

Suggestion for ROM

I like your ROM, here is some suggestion, hope you can consider:

1) Sound: SD card notification sound is too long, hope to change to a short one

2) Wallpaper: only one default wallpaper in your ROM, Hope can add the original G1 wallpaper inside

3) if possible,please add swithc on/off function for PC sychronization, alway when I plug in to USB, the sychronization is autostart!

Others are good, and fast! Waiting for your next version ROM!
[G1 Android Development] mat_pav:
1. When you change the default notification sound also the SD notification is changed

2. You can choose any picture and set it as a wallpaper. Create a Wallpapers directory on SD and put pictures inside.

Hey kb7sqi,

Thanks a lot for your detailed answers (and your ROM of course :p)
[G1 Android Development] bitjeklein:
Hey mat_pav,

which Rom do you use? I use soulife 2.9.2, with only a handfull of new apps (45 apps in total, including the original stock applications) and it has only 23 MB of free space and it feels quite slow. I have a 8GB class 6 SD card. If I kill all running applications with Taskiller, I only get 30 MB. (and it stays slow)

Thanks

hi kb7sqi,

have you seen this page??

http://www.htc.com/ca/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=269&cat=2&dl_id=651

It's a RogersDream Update!!

We need someone with a rogers Dream SN!!
[G1 Android Development] mat_pav:
I also miss the camera and photo app in v6.4. What happened?
[G1 Android Development] soulife:
If someone could grab that and host it that'd be sweet. I'm bout a week away from being back in business (sorry for the thread hijack)

Edit)

It looks like bug fixes, thought it was crc1. It'd still be sweet though. Hopefully it'll get the lag outta the launcher. Fix widgets, resource consumption, etc.. htc needs to give up the damn source
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Yeah...I've got the update, but instead of putting a rom.zip file in the update, it's a rom.nbh file. I've tried the nbxextract tool & yang to extract the files but no luck so far. I'm downloading the sapphire update right now. Anyone have any suggestions on extracting the image from the nbh file that I haven't thought of? Soulife, I think you should know by now, I'm all about sharing info & working toward the same goal. A great rogers build. It don't matter to me who's name is on it! lol. Any input you have I appreciate! You've been working w/ this build longer than me! ;)

Also, those having issues w/ the gallery, camera, etc. Did you try to go into the Settings->Applications->Manage Applications-> & try to clear the data? I installed the rom on a clean wipe & installed over my other build & everything works fine. Can you give that a try till we can get a real image of this update. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] mat_pav:
6.4 run very smooth expect some bugs:

1. camera, photo don't work ( wipe before install )

2. Exchange mail LED works but i get an error when sync contacts with custom ring tone. I got this error on VIRTUDUDEs V3, but not with v 6.1. Is the exchange mail in the 6,4 the updated one or the old one?
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
.

That's strange. I did a wipe on my phone & those work fine. The Mail.apk in 6.4 is the older one. LED notifications work. I tested on 3 accounts. I'm hoping someone can provide a system.img of the new Dream update. I'm going to be working most of the night tonight, so I might have to wait till tomorrow to work on a new build.

I'm uploading a fixed 6.4 build now. I replaced the newer apk's w/ the original ones. I'll post when it's available.
[G1 Android Development] mat_pav:
I'm using the 6.4 right now but i thing that i will be with the 6.1 very soon because the exchange mail works better except the LED that don't work. I have 47 apps installed and i have 11MB of 89MB used space and the ROM runs smooth. ( 35 MB free memory )
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Fixed 6.4 is up. Sorry for the problems. I'm going to do a quick test w/ the Rogers Sapphire update here in a few. Hopefully LED notification works on that. I'll keep you posted.
[G1 Android Development] mat_pav:
Thx. Nice work kb7sqi !!!
[G1 Android Development] kb7sqi:
Ok...Between work & being on the phone for work, I've got a "TEST" build using the Rogers Sapphire/Magic update put up. The bad news is, the LED notifications don't work in the Mail.apk like the previous builds using Magic updates posted in the past PTC & the AUS one. Other than that, it seems to run fine. This quick test build uses the same boot.img as V6.4 so if you were looking to stay w/ V6.1, I'd use this build. It has the latest build of the kernel w/ more kernel modules, & supports cpu scaling. I'm trying to get a copy of the new dream system.img as I type this. Here's the link for the test build:
