i'll give it a go thanks

edit--- although i don't see how this would help, all my notifications are stock, so not on the sd card at all, and media2sd is also disabled in user.conf (cheers mike) i'll still try it anyway, i'll try anything that doesn't involve selling my soul to santa (there's my lysdexia again)
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
Hey, my gurl loves this rom cause it only updates when its stable and ready. She is on the JACxROM v1.5r3 version and knows that there is one to upgrade to, she doesnt wanna have to reflash again if a new one comes out soon so i just want to know if I should bring her to the new v1.5r4 or should we wait a couple days if a new one will come out?
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Wait. 1.5r3 runs best if you simply delete the setpriority script. Search this thread for miketaylor00's posts on doing this if you want. Then again, if her phone is running well, then just wait for v1.6.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
ETA is unknown for a new version as the ROM dev is basically "out of the office" for an indefinite amount of time. I'd hang tight on the version she has installed and check back weekly (not daily) for a new release.
[G1 Android Development] tobyax:
I have a problem with the market, do not download applications. why?
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Your question has been answered in this thread. Clear the Market cache through Settings>Applications>Manage Applications.
[G1 Android Development] elpatolucas:
ok, question solved!
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
sorted my problem for now, i coppied the new a2sd scripts over again and chmod 774, works for now, but how long it will last is another question
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
went back to this damn xROM. this damn thing still beats out everything.

was on hero roms trying to find something that was nice enough to keep more than a week. the longest i had one the same version was bout three days, then the 4th day, god made lag. lmao

one question for xrom, and i know the update, if i was patient, would probably have it. i just want to make sure i understand Stericson's blog in that the lockscreen with intergrated music is still forthcoming. theres not a Stericson lockscreen with intergrated music and messages floating around somewhere right?
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
funny how that happens. Everytime I try to find another, i find myself missing the speed and stability. I mean at the end of the day this thing is still my phone and i needs it to workify.
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
Thank you, I will do that cause just recently shes been having some issues, so maybe that will fixer up till an update. She love this rom cause for someone liek her.. its perfect.. NO ISSUES (for the most part) and she love the style.. i was on it too till i decided to try the kings Hero rom... its ok, but xrom way faster...
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
its the curse of goodness on this one! :D yea messing with all the ROMs actually just helps advertise this one as almost the best!
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
its the curse of goodness on this one! :D yea messing with all the ROMs actually just helps advertise this one as almost the best!

i was on hero, and yesterday was such a beautiful day, that while listening to htc music, i wanted to take a picture. with hero, i almost wanted to disintegrate my own phone for its stupidity.

xROM, today, another beautiful day. listening to music, and picture taken.... aaahhhhhh it feels good to be X'ed
[G1 Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
new to these forums and ROM loading...just curious how i use apps2sd. i know it says its automatic...but from what i see my card isn't formatted at all...and it looks like my one app i installed went to system memory?
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Follow the third link in my sig you lazy noob. :-P
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
YOU, my friend (yes you're my friend now because i just addressed you), well really you need to search to find the steps to install a custom ROM.

is your phone rooted?

do you have the correct spl and radio?

have you downloaded the AMON-RA v1.2.3 recovery image?

using the recovery image, have you partitioned your sdcard correctly (fat32/ext3/linuxswap)?

do all this then download and flash using the correct steps you find when you search! and on the OP of this thread :D
[G1 Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
i hate a htc dream on rogers

its rooted using the 1 click method,

im using the correct SPL and radio.

xRom works fine, i just don't know how to access or use apps2SD. im checking out the link in the previous posters signature as stated above...ill let you know if i need more help
[G1 Android Development] skaterA223:
i havent flashed this since the X theme came out. did they ever update this rom?
[G1 Android Development] domex2k:
Dam i slept on this Xrom, this rom is nice,a Hero and Cyan feel and its stable.

Will there be any updates to this Rom like Global Search, new Market?
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
i know for sure this ROM will not have a downloaded update until it is polished beyond stability. that's the good thing about this ROM. no daily or weekly updates to fix things. there's almost nothing broken, so for sure the next update will be well worth the wait, and i'm sure will include or address everything everybody has asked about in one form or another.
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
keeping my fingers crossed. I just had my g1 replaced yesterday which means that I had to install the dev spl, erase my 2nd boot screen, unroot, then i manually upgraded all the way to donut. So right now im sitting with a refurbed (looks new) boring unrooted G1. Unless Xrom drops before the weekend im gonna sit unrooted for the next few days.
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
it's quite the mundane feeling eh?

just noticed your sig! you're not lying about dependibilty! haha! holding down the underworld movies and a adam sandler flick all by her lonesome! haha
[G1 Android Development] domex2k:
It surely is worth the wait, between going crazing:)from flashing Hero's and Cyan's im Glad i ran into this one.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Paging Dr B your signature literally made me laugh out loud.

I spoke with JAC last night. He said he's fixed a lot of the issues that he needed to for 1.6. I don't want to set a timeline but progress is being made.
[G1 Android Development] saprano614:
thanks for the update mike. cant wait to see the donuty goodness.
[G1 Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
i found the info on how to properly partition my card and did that...however im still not sure how to find out if apps2sd is working properly?

do i need to partition my card, load xrom as an update.zip onto it, reinstall the rom? i get that feeling from what i have been reading.

if i do have to do that, what partition do i put update.zip on i have a fat32 and ext3 partition.

i followed this prompt:

8 GB

Code:

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)

rm 1

rm 2

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7500

mkpartfs primary ext2 7500 7948

quit

upgrade_fs

reboot recovery

do i not need a swap file as well? i have read other articles that say to create a swap file. so im not sure if i need to or not with this rom.

any input would be greatly appreciated.
[G1 Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
this is the article i was reading and curious if i should do this to work with xRom

http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
Dude, Apps2SD is automatic on the first boot IF you have an ext partition as the 2nd partition on your card.

If you have partitioned your card, do a wipe from Recovery, and reboot. The apps should move over on the first boot.

To tell if Apps2SD is working, check your free memory in Settings>Storage & SD. It should be over 70mb (closer to 80).

By the way, I'm not sure what Recovery you have, but I would strongly recommend Amon_RA's latest. It automates the partitioning process for noobs, though once you learn it (it's really very easy), you'll be able to make custom size partitions in about 30 seconds.
[G1 Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
is Amon_RA's safe for rogers dream users?

i currently have CM 1.4 + JF

im fine with user the terminal to manually partioning my card, i just didn't know it needed to be done prior to installing the ROM...

so out of my fat32 and ext3 partition which one do i put my update.zip on?
[G1 Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
figured it out on my own, saw to that you need to send update.zip the root of your card. so obviously with a windows pc your only going to get to the fat32 partition.

anyways...

i wiped my handset, re flashed with xROm, and now i have the proper partitioning, and i have 85mb of free space on my phone.

thanks for all the help
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
now you will see all the headache was well worth it on this ROM. good job figuring it out. it can be a doozy the first time around. just remember what you did this time, and every update and flash you do from now own is like riding a bike.

except for the CM 4.1.9999 update. i've been reading about that myself, and damn. i've gone through almost every new cupcake, donut, and hero rom since i rotted a few months ago, but the cm4.1.9999 is intimidating still. hahaha my best interest right now is to stick with the stability and dependability of this ROM.
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
Yesss. I think you're now the second person to have noticed my sig. ;)

Thanks for the update too.
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Ah yes, kate beckinsale in a particular scene in a certain movie....

*cough*underworld 2*cough*

I highly agree :)
[G1 Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
i really want to try out CM 4.1.999 but like you said it is intimidating, ill play around with this ROM for a bit, but eventually once i become more comfortable playing around im going to attempt to flash to CM's just to see what all the hype is about.

im just stuck on what you need to flash with first before you flash with CM's update.zip
[G1 Android Development] uansari1:
If you really want to try it, someone released a full update.zip that requires only one flash.
[G1 Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
0_o O'RLLY!
[G1 Android Development] ccriffman:
I wouldn't bother Sarge- Once you flash this rom, whether you realize it or not, you have the best performing, best looking, and most stable rom out there on your phone- trust me; I have used the rest, and returned to the best- chris
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
yea i noticed the one flash update too.

all you would need to do is:

place the cm update.zip onto your sdcard

reboot into recovery (hold downb home + end call)

wipe/reset factory settings

format ext partition

wipe/reset factory settings

repair ext file system

run update.zip

reboot

:D

I have a guide here for moving from any ROM to Cyanogen's 4.1.999 here - http://iluvandroid.com/guides/how-to-install-cyanogens-legal-rom-4-1994-1-999/

I personally moved from 4.1.11 to 4.1.999 and have had n problems with it at all. Am interested in trying out other ROMs though as I need to add JAC and others to my ROM list and to take screenshots for the site.
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
i can concur with every essence of my being and all that i stand for.

xROM is like the invincible star in mario. all the rest are flowers, and mushrooms.
[G1 Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
Best metaphor.....EVER! that single comment alone made me veer from installing any software other than xRom, excellent choice of words my friend.
[G1 Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
wow im dumb...just realized i only had 1.43r flashed to my phone....updating to the newest ROM now :D

is there a reason i can't reduce the number of home screens i have from 5 to 3? i hit menu at the home screen, but don't have the option of "more"

[G1 Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
thank you kind sir
[G1 Android Development] c_licious:
100% agreed although it would be nice to have a few more donut goodies... The new market app is a nice improvement from the previous one and global search is a must if you have a lot of apps. Will go with cyanogen 4.999 until xRom catches up :)
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Cyan's rom doesn't use advanced launcher, and iif you're using xrom, 1.5r1 and 2 didn't, but r3 and 4 do, i'd recomend using r3, removing setpriority and applying mikes new user.conf a few pages back. If you have problems with notification audio, try replacing a2sd with the one posted about page 195.... I can't remember the exact page and using my phone in gprs area so don't really have the resources to find it for you lol.

Hope this helps in some way
[G1 Android Development] Gawupy:
My camera doesnt work properly. It has blue colors everywhere. Anyone got a fix?? Im on 1.5r4 thanks!!
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
try setting the effect?
[G1 Android Development] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
well i flash to Cm 4.1.99 using the 1 flash method posted earlier, and i must say i feel it responds much quicker on my phone. currently installing Ted's Hero Theme to see what it is like.

but for the speed difference i can make do with having no eye candy.

until the next xROM update, ill stick with CM
[G1 Android Development] renegadedj:
not I ! tried cm4.1.9999 for 24 hours and bleh. came right back to xROM :D

BOTH

cm AND xROM need newer updates! lol not trying to govern peoples lives tho ;P
[G1 Android Development] vr24:
I'll tell ya, this ROM is REALLY good.

Very fast, super stable. Great features.

I'm at such a crossroad, as Hero offers so many user enhancements, but it's not as fast. However, if I decide not to use Hero, I'll definitely stick with xROM, this thing is just that good.
[G1 Android Development] cmsweet21:
beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen waiting for long for update of this rom xD
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Patience guys, as stated about 5 pages ago, JAC had some personal issues to deal with, give the guy some slack, an update is coming, nobody likes a half-baked donut that's all soggy in the middle, leave it to cook a little longer then you can add sprinkles
[G1 Android Development] Gawupy:
Yeah tried the effect and nothing, has anyone had this problem with this rom?
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
Hey, ive been using xrom for a while, (I switched to a hero rom to try but came crying back) Ive noticed these few problems though

1) very often my contact that I have labeled "send to voicemail" for all those damn bill collectors lol... which is set to go straight to voicemail doesnt always do so. In fact id say for every 4 that it sends, I get 2 that come through. Its quite annoying since this is a built in feature and should just work. (ive had this issue before i think on other roms, so i guess this would be more a request to look into then anything else...

2) I have set ringtones for some people and ive noticed that they dont always work and it tends to go back to the default ringer.. i reset my phone and problem is solved but then will come back sometime after. Is this known? If not then that would be awesome to look into that too..

Other than that thank you again for all your amazing work!
[G1 Android Development] ccriffman:
I haven't noticed the voicemail thing, but have noticed the assigned ringer thing- I have learned to live with it because this rom is so awesome- Chris
[G1 Android Development] Navik57:
So I've notcied an interesting little bug... and I don't know if it is with xRom or something else, and not sure how to troubleshoot it and narrow down the cause. It seems that when I restart my phone, it decides to randomly send a couple of text messages to people. These are usually old sent items, and it can range from 1-4 persons. This is with Handcent installed, and without it installed.

Anyone else see this kind of action? Or know how to figure out what steps I should do next to fix this annoying little glitch.
[G1 Android Development] DarkOne951:
LOL. So true.

Edit: Holy crap. After flashing this Rom and using it for a few hours, phew! Its stunning O_O.

Edit2: Decided I wanted the HTC Hero Music player. Opened up the app drawer and it was there. lol. "Dumbfounded" moment.
[G1 Android Development] android_geoff:
im having problems installing the htc_ime keyboard

it was working great before but when i cleared my ext2 partition the try the cyanogen 4.1.999 (to try out donut) it deleted all my apps

when i went back to the xrom 1.5r4 i tried downloading the htc_ime in asto and it says touch input could not install on this phone

i have tried pushing through terminal and installing on the 1.4 recovery but it says its missing 2 signatures?

anyone have any problems with this?

i dont like the xrom keyboard
[G1 Android Development] DarkOne951:
xROM already has HTC_IME installed. Go to your Settings - > Text and Input - > and disable the "Android Keyboard". Touch Input will work then.
[G1 Android Development] android_geoff:
mine doesnt have it, i just flashed the xrom yesterday, when you disable the android keyboard

it just says open keyboard to make a message

when i flashed i cleared my ext2 partition, and wiped the phone

it doesnt show touch input in the text an locale settings
[G1 Android Development] saprano614:
i miss the days befor the C&D letter. it seems since that day we havent had the updates coming to us as often. seems that things have slowed to a crawl. i miss flashing once a week with some new stuff. ahh the good ol days.
[G1 Android Development] no6969el:
I agree my friend.. but updates have never been fast on this rom.. just stable!
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
im not rooting my phone again unless JAC puts out another release.
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
Your sig: JACxROM v1.5r3 / OfficalDonut 1.6 ADP

Does this mean you have xROM and 1.6 working....if so would you PM me what you did. I tried and got stuck into boot-looping and adb would not work and fastboot did not at 1st and I finally got everything back...boy sweating on that one....:eek:

Never had to do this previously....good to know the G1 is very easy to get back from the dead....:)
[G1 Android Development] ccriffman:
I fully agree- I will keep 1.5r4 on my phone 'till I die unless JAC puts out a newer one- signed, nevergoingback
[G1 Android Development] Paging Dr B:
right now im stock non-rooted. It sucked the first few days but as time goes on it gets easier. I think i have only 10-15 apps installed. No tethering, no custom app tray, just plane jane.
[G1 Android Development] saprano614:
using the RA-recovery1.2.3 you wipe system,ext,dalvik. then flash the official asop 1.6 base then the expansion, no reboot in between. that is how i got it to boot with out the dreaded black screen. oh and when you get it to work dont set the overclocking below 245min it causes some problems.
[G1 Android Development] here.david:
Maybe I did not understand your sig....

xrom/asop 1.6 = I took to mean you placed xROM onto asop 1.6, now I am thinking you have both, as I have CM and xROM with bart....I installed asop 1.6 previously and had small lags...so went back to CM 4.1.xxxx and had issues so am now on xROM (with 1.5 cupcake) and would like to have 1.6 (Donut) working with/like xROM does....

After following Mike's advice using 1.5r3 (back from 1.5r4) the NO issues rom for me so far...9/9/09 was the last update....I tried his HERO rom (which he seems to have moved to as that has been updated after 9/9/09) and while it was way cool, to slow on the G1....just have to wait it seems.
[G1 Android Development] saprano614:
i would love to be able to combine the best of both. but sadly i am no dev. i am waiting, like the rest of ya, for the donuty goodness in xrom
[G1 Android Development] android_geoff:
ya i tried the hero roms (too slow) and cyanogens rom but theres no advanced launcher and no good themes

i keep coming back to xrom but i wish i could have some donut

i keep checking back twice a day to see if theres an update
[G1 Android Development] ccriffman:
Why dont you go ahead and flash 1.5r4 in the meantime- no matter- good things come to those who wait- chris
[G1 Android Development] twflys:
For the love of god- the xrom is the best rom out.... plz send us some doughnutness. And then I'll be quiet.

[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
JAC Update

Ok, I know you all love this ROM and want to see it updated but as I mentioned before JAC has run into some hard times. He lost his job back when I first posted that he was having personal issues. He was hoping to get a new job pretty fast but it just hasn't happened. He's had to spend the majority of his time working some side jobs and searching for a new job. He's not the type of person to share his problems with the world but I was hoping that maybe some of his fans would show him a little love. He's been without a job for a while now. He's got an interview setup for next week so hopefully that will work out for him. Also, if anyone knows of any IT jobs in the Phoenix area you might want to pass that info on to him.

Thanks for all of your support.

Btw, Cyrowski is taking Manup and I under his wing and helping us learn the ropes of dev cooking. JAC is too but obviously he has had other things going on. I'm going to see if JAC will let Manup and I have the keys to xROM so we can get something out to you guys.

[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Thanks for the update mike, hope everything goes well for JAC

Suppose "JAC-Up-TayloROM-ski" would be legendary, JAC's awesomeness, Manup's graphical genius, and no rom is complete without mike tweaks. And let's face it, part of xrom's awesomeness is due to the JAC-ski kernel. I tried CC's new sense hero, it was good, but not as good as this, so flashed back this morning :)

Here's a big GOOD LUCK for JAC
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
The next release of SenseHero will be faster. I'm running it with an older BFS patch and it is smooth.
[G1 Android Development] senaia:
Definately wrong thread to ask this, but wouldn't a sense rom based on a magic dump be better as a magic rom ported to g1 instead of hero rom ported to g1? I know the original dump was for a 32a which is practically hero anyway, so is that why CC went for hero?
[G1 Android Development] dixon_coxon:
Do you know what his field/specialty in IT is? If Jac can send his resume, I can forward it to some recruiters I know jamesdotopareatgmaildotcom

I can't wait for the next ROM, I'm itching to flash the next xROM or now that HTC has released the HERO kernel; the next JacHero with working bluetooth
