Yea I noticed that too ... w/ the HERO theme. Something has gone haywire with the title bar image. I will look into it and see if I can get that theme updated shortly.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] SG_Shadow:
Is there a way to change the "T - Mobile" inside the notifications bar (Hero Theme v3.3) to white for the g1? Right now, it appears to be black. I know its minor, but if you could change that, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi SG_Shadow,

Yea I'm aware of that issue ... I'm gonna get it resolved soon. (Gotta redo the entire white themed odex'd system .... uggghhh lol)

It's yet another annoying theme glitch.

Thanks.

Rogers Android 1.6?

Has anyone heard any info regarding Roger's releasing a 1.6 update?

I love Enomther's Roger's and I won't be switching but there are some nice features in the 1.6 that I want. If only exchange support was available in other ROM's besides Roger's and Hero!

A Roger's 1.6 would be awesome!
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
I haven't heard anything yet. But I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

[G1 Android Development] Zoide_:
What's the best J2ME program for this ROM? It would be great to run Opera.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Not sure ... but ... I thought J2ME was in the Market. Also, I believe Opera is also in the Market.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Zoide_:
I'm trying to sync with my work Exchange server with the Mail icon and choosing "Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync". For some reason, it fails and I get the message:

"Your Account in Microsoft Exchange does not have permission to syncronize with your current settings"

However, when I put the exact same data into TouchDown it works. The thing is that to get it to work on TouchDown I have to set it to Exchange 2007 instead of ActiveSync... Is there a way to configure that in the HTC Mail app?

Also, I saw that there was an option in TouchDown for fetching and accepting a certificate from the Exchange server. I got it to work after enabling that and after I disabled it it kept on working. Anything like this on the HTC Mail app?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
It's activesync only ... that's probably the issue. Your exchange must have the web activesync interface enabled for mobile devices.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Zoide_:
Oh... :S

I also tried the HTC sync program but it doesn't sync the Outlook Calendar (I think it only syncs Contacts).

So is there a free way to sync an Exchange calendar with Android? I'm open to any ROM... (Hero/Rogers/T-Mobile/etc!).

I can't use Google Sync though, since my company wouldn't allow sending confidential data to Google.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
All the "free" ways use ActiveSync ... so if you can't get it going w/Rogers ... there probably isn't a free way.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Zoide_:
OK, so lets say I put aside OTA updates. What about desktop sync apps? Apparently HTC Sync for Rogers only syncs Contacts. Maybe there is some other alternative?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
I know of no known alternatives to HTCSync (doesn't mean they don't exist). So I dunno ...

Theme updates

Hi all,

You guys probably thought I forgot about you!!!

Theme update ...

- Zalgo's CustomV7 re-posted (pretty sure I fixed the mem leak ;) )

- Moonspoon's gChrome ported/posted

- Manup456's xTheme ported/posted

Hope you guys appreciate ... let me know if ya do ... and also don't hesitate to let the themers/artists know as well! :)

Enjoy!

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Chinpokomon:
Well, 4.2 Mini is available. Opera just announced 5.0 beta, but it currently isn't for Android. They do have a J2ME version though, so I'm sure that was what prompted that question.
[G1 Android Development] neo21:
Hey enomther,

congrats thats is definitly the best android rom i have used so far...and i tried a lot lol

do you plan to add some 1.6 goodies to it...like the new search and market?? ;-)

keep up the good work & dont forget about us rogers fans
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi neo21,

I will not force feed (per say) any donut features into this build. There will be an update soon (in testing) ... but I'm really hoping HTC/Rogers release a new Rogers ROM soon with the Donut updates built in ... that would be the best thing for Rogers users at large.

And no worries ... I'm not gonna forget about ya! (This is the ROM I use on my primary ;) ).

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] blackcuzz:
would u know what files I would need to push the jbed .apk to this build for it to work correctly.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey blackcuzz,

Open up terminalapp, ....

su
expsetup

Select option #13, say yes at the "clean" prompt and say yes at the java.apk prompt. Finally, say yes at the install prompt.

Reboot.

And you'll have it!

xtheme is sweet :D

Yo bro!

Been out of vacation! I get back and you got this sweet xrom theme! TITS!

Youre damn thread here is dead bro! You going to release an update anytime soon?

Thansk :D
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey grand,

YES! I will be releasing an update ... I've got one more major update on my Donut builds ... due out tonight (hopefully) ... and then I'm on to Rogers.

And BTW ... make sure to let Manup456 know you appreciate the xtheme work. As it is his ... I only ported it.

thanks.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
Just FYI: I am TMO US. The reason I use this Rogers ROM is because I want working BT and a smart dialer. Rogers is still the only option for that right? (besides using aContacts on a Cupcake/Donut build, but I don't really like aContacts, I like Hero... and Rogers + FacebookPicSync is as close as you can get while keeping BT/LED/speed).

EDIT: I would still love to see the Rogers SmartDial skinned eventually. It is way ugly compared to hero. :)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
I didn't follow the TMO US comment .. were you saying you are in the US and TMO is your provider or you're using the TMO US build?

Anyways ... yea .. The Dialer .. a huge reason for the rogers ... and besides HERO ... I know of no good alternatives. I personally need the exchange support.

I've always found the Rogers to be a best all around build. I just wish HTC would clean up their code a lil more ... I believe rogers builds could run even better with just a lil TLC at the code level.

Hopefully when/if we get a rogers donut build ... we'll see a huge improvement. :)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] dta1974:
I agree this Rogers buid is one of the best I always end up installing it after trying other builds.It´s pretty and the hero theme makes it look even better.

Enom,go get yourself some R&R,that´s what I am having right now. ;);)
[G1 Android Development] venkatarc1982:
Just a suggestion - if you are able to implement HERO type transition, is it possible to include Blur animation instead of Hero. Its more sexier then Hero :-)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yup! Had a gr8 night off ... loads of fun.

In the next release it will be the HERO transition for now ... reason is ... I like the BLUR also .. however ... there is a slight bugginess to them ... some sorta flicker in certain animations ... quite annoying.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] dta1974:
Hi enon.

Got a question.

How hard would it be to create a compatible version for this Rogers rom?:http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4687932&postcount=151

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
dta,

I have no idea man ... but that may be something very difficult to accomplish ... Since I'm about to return to my Rogers build ... I'll toy with it slightly. Would be nice to get missed call notifications.

I'll let ya know how that progresses over the week.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] dta1974:
Thanks man,you are always so nice.Don´t worry if it is too hard.

Thank you again.
[G1 Android Development] Chinpokomon:
Drizzy let it be known that there was a Rogers based on 1.6 releasing soon, any idea about when, or what his source is? I'm torn between wanting to run Donut or needing to keep the Exchange integration. Between you and Soullife, I'm convinced that Rogers has the best ROM going and I really want the update to 1.6 sometime last week...

*sigh*
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Chinpokomon,

Trust me ... I'm anxiously awaiting this too ... I have such a "fast" Rogers ROM ready to go ... but I can't release it b/c the camera code has changed dramatically to the point were it is unusable.

As far as Drizzy's sources ... they are reliable ... there has been no eta given yet, but it outta be soon (relatively) ... I'm thinkin within the month at most. But it's for sure coming :D

[G1 Android Development] DreamGuy:
enomther what a smooth rom 1.8.4 is, big thank you for your work! Thanks go to you and Manup456 too for the xTheme, it is the icing on my Dream cake :cool:

So now that I have set my Rogers Dream free, they should come that way, and giving me the ability to do more "stuff" there is one thing I am really missing from when my Dream was in it's original state. See my eyes are crap even with glasses on...age does this so they tell me :rolleyes:...and I'm having a heck of a time with black text on a white background in the messaging app of v1.8.4. I do lots of messaging with my kids so being able to comfortably read their messages is important to me. Now when my dream was in it's original state the messaging app used white text on a black background and of course messages were reasonably easy for me to read even though I could not increase the text size like I could on the LG Neon I had previously. Anyway I've been poking around doing some reading and I'm wondering if I can mod the mms.apk file to get me back to having white text on a black background and simply replace the mms.apk that came with v1.8.4? From what I have researched and read I am under the impression that the mms.apk is what I would need to mod?

If I'm headed off in the wrong direction please slap me and point me in the right direction with regards to what I can do to get the messaging app configured so I can more comfortably read my messages :o
[G1 Android Development] Thad04@hotmail.com:
DreamGuy - Have you tried Handcent SMS? It is very customizable, including the ability to change font and background colors as well as font size. It also adds the ability to use voice-to-text and text-to-speech, both features that I find very useful while driving.
[G1 Android Development] neostylez:
hey

nice rom, wickedly fast... encountering two problems, apps from market not installing, says downloading but not really downloading...

and when I try to flash a theme ; did the whole wipe, wipe ext, and flash your rom, then flash theme rom... gets stuck at the tmobile g1 boot screen... tried 2 times.

otherwise, everything matches what you have...
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
neostylez,

While running the ROM .. .and before applying the theme ... please generate a log for me ... send it to enomther at gmail dot com

In terminal

su
expsetup

Option #8, will place an ep_log_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.log file on your sdcard. Send this.

Also, what theme were you attempting to apply?

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
DreamGuy,

Yea Handcent is a good alternative ... also the built-in MMS app should provide a way to set the background to "black" and also enlarge the text.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] DreamGuy:
I feel like such a knob :o Never seen that menu before

but yep there is a setting for that. I now have white on black...

Thanks friend...
[G1 Android Development] DreamGuy:
I just fired up the market app and installed Handcent and some font packs...looks really good so far and the large fonts are very nice indeed :cool:

Thank you...

v1.9.1 released/posted

Hi all,

I've uploaded/released & posted v1.9.1 of TheOfficial Rogers ... I know it was long awaited ...

I was really hoping we'd have seen our donut build drop by now from HTC ... but not just yet apparently!

So, in the meantime, here are the overall improvements that I've made in preparation for that build.

As always, nandroid backup, read the changelog, flash and enjoy!

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] grandtorino:
finally! :D

Yo enom

Finally bro!

Can't wait to flash! So no donuts for me NP bro, maybe next time! :D

Thanks for not forgetting about us man!
[G1 Android Development] springah:
not working with soulife yet? :(

still, thanks!
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Welcome ... let me know how it goes.

Say what? What do you mean?

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] springah:
sorry, i was under the impression that the few of you Rogers guys left were going to work together - all good though!
[G1 Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
Is it too much to ask for ext4 support? :o
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
We do work together ... just not on the same build ... but me, Soulife and KB7SQI all work together and pull from each other's experiences ... we then incorporate the best of those into our builds as we individually see fit.

But by "work together" you mean create a single mutual build ... nah ... cuz although we have good relations and help each other out quite a bit ... we can't agree on anything LOL

~enom~

;)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Right now ... it is! lol

When we get the donut dump ... I will include ext4 support ... but for now ... it's just not supported for compatibility reasons.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Lollipop_Lawlipop:
I look forward to seeing the donut code drop then!

Hmmm, thinking about it, if rumors are correct about 2.0 coming out soon, what if HTC is waiting for that to come around instead?

Anyways, I took this rom for a test drive - I love it! This is my first rogers rom in a while and boy is this fast.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
You and me both Lollipop ... I'm very anxious for it's release ...

if you think what you have now is fast ... what I've got prepared for the donut drop ... will knock it's socks off ... but oh well patiently waiting.

As far as the 2.0 rumors ... either way :) ... I'll be able to bring new goodies to the table.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] springah:
Haha, understood! Just means I'm flashing more often, that's all :)
[G1 Android Development] venkatarc1982:
Blur Theme

Enom, thanks for a great ROM.

1. Will theme posted in the second post of this thread work with the new version?

2. By any chance, are you planning to port KSpec Blur theme in this build (as you did in your Donut build)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Themes in 2nd post still work ... but they do reverse the "HERO transitions" ... I need to redo them, which I will.

And sure, I'll port the BLUR theme.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] grandtorino:
rock on enom!

Yo bro! Just some feedback for you man.

This one is for sure faster bro! As soon as I get paid I'm definitely going to try and get you drunk!!! :D
[G1 Android Development] Super S:
Thanks a lot enom! :D I only updated to the previous version on Friday as I rooted my Rogers HTC Dream then. I noticed that phone calls didn't always come through on the first try, if the person called again right away everything was fine.

But anyway, I'm glad for this update as it seems to have fixed that issue and it is a lot faster than the original Rogers ROM that I'd had before rooting my phone.

Thanks again :)
[G1 Android Development] LeDuke:
Hi Enomther,

Thanks for your great job, I tested a lot of roms, and I keep going back to your Roger rom, even after having tested donut roms. HTC Dialer, fast. Thank you for your pre donut update.

However, I can't modify ro.product.model and ro.product.brand of the build.prop. In fact I can, but I can't see any change after reboot, it's still T-Mobile G1, event if I can still see the modification in build.trout.prop.

I didn't find a simple build.prop as before Do you know how to change it ?

I need it to be recognized for some services of my carrier (Orange).

Before I forget, expsetup is great !
[G1 Android Development] SimonNWalker:
POP Email Issues

Enom, Awesome release dude! This sure is faster than the previous. Can't wait for the Donut drop :)

I do have one issue and I don't know if it's ROM related or not.

I am running this latest Rogers release and I’ve started experiencing POP Email issues. My email will download for a day or so and then it stops downloading as if I haven’t received any new emails. I don’t get any error messages, it just goes online to my POP account and say Updating but nothing appears.

If I go into the Web interface or use Outlook to access my POP emails, it all works fine. It’s only using the Email program on my phone.

Has anybody experienced this same issue?

I’m just trying to identify if the problem is related to the phone or if my ISP has made some sort of change recently. I also wanted to check before I go back and try the previous release of the ROM to see if the problem is with this latest ROM or not.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
LeDuke,

The Rogers builds are a little unique ... for some reason ... whatever the initial settings is on the first boot ... gets "locked in" on all subsequent boots.

What does the phone need to display and for what reason may I ask?

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Simon,

Not sure about this one ... no1 else has reported as such ... send me an expsetup log (option #8) ... to enomther at gmail dot com. I'll take a look.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] neo21:
the current version was somehow more sluggish than 1.8.4 ... at least until i used expsetup to disable compache ... now it is fast again (did a re format of sd card and wipe prior to installation) :)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea .. disabling compcache will always yield a speed boost, however you won't be able to run as many apps simultaneously.

I've only noticed a better perf boot in 1.9.1, but whatever works for ya.

The new kernel I have built out for the Donut build, will improve performance tremendously ... but I can't use it till we get a Donut Rogers build, b/c of Camera issues.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Chinpokomon:
I've also noticed that Lucid has been giving me 504 Gateway timeouts now. Is this something you are aware of? Is it something specific to how you have lucid installed in this ROM perhaps? I was hoping to use that as a quick way to install the volume hack as I had previously on earlier Rogers and TMO releases.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Herm ... I'll ask him about this ... not sure what's going on here.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
Same for me. 1.8.4 was slow with Linux swap (with or without cc). It was fast with ls disabled, and with or without cc. 1.9 is slow unless ls and cc are both disabled. My swap partition is 128mb which was good for hero roms. Should I try changing to 32mb ls and reenabling cc.-
[G1 Android Development] dta1974:
Once again thanks for your wonderful job enom ;) I love this new version and all the goodies behind "expsetup" option #15 is really nice I don´t have to do it manually.

Thank you so much.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
rpmccormick,

Yea there are several tweaks you can attempt. A smaller backing store (linux-swap) is definitely recommend ... when you utilize a large one ... it can tend to drag ... as so much starts to get swapped out. Also, if you thought 1.8.4 was "faster" for some reason ... do try resetting the swappiness to 30, as it was reset to 45 in 1.9.1. when set to 30, a lot less will swap out ... and you may perceive a perf boost from that as well. It all depends on the apps you use, etc.

I truthfully recommend pure compcache on this build only ... Things will get better when we get our donut drop.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Always welcome dta ( long time follower )... hopefully our donuts will arrive soon. ;)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] dta1974:
Long time follower,long time fan and ready to follow you ;);) although I don´t help other much cause I don´t know much.

thanks
[G1 Android Development] SimonNWalker:
Dude, I did a reset of the account on the phone and as we expected. It's NOT gonna go wrong now cos my phone knows that I'm waiting to create a log... LOL

Rom is running as smooth as a babies behind...Awesome work as usual.
[G1 Android Development] Zoide_:
Any rumors for a Rogers release date? :D
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Only rumors we've got thus far ... is that .. we will get a Rogers Donut update ... but no solid dates/times ... I'm sure they are struggling/perfecting the phone number parsing issues, camera issues and a few others ... these are my guesses anyways.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] LeDuke:
Hi again

In fact, I need it to access to the TV portal on my carrier website, and watch 3G TV.

Even if the name in the telephone properties still shows T-Mobile G1, it's working.

In term, getprop give me good values, the ones I put in build.trout.prop.

So, no problem with that actually !

But, new problem raised... I can't use the camera ! It's crashing whenever I launch it.

Barcode scanner crash, camera app crash on opening. I hadn't checked it since I installed 1.9.1.

I have G1, bought from Orange, France.

I'm the only one to face this problem ?
[G1 Android Development] QBANIN:
No problem for me. (1.9.1 @ Black G1)
[G1 Android Development] apt:
Enom, thank you very much for all the work you've done.

You're one of my favorites developers...your roms rules :)
[G1 Android Development] sovereignty68:
Enomther,

is it possible to run HTC_CIME from /system/app instead of /data/app_s/? Because CIME will FC in landscape mode if it is not running from /system/app. If it's possible, how do I make it work? I put it in /system/app, system does not recognize it. Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Did you not install CIME through expsetup ? It should be working through expsetup.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Yea the camera should not be FC'ing in v1.9.1. You may need to perform a fresh install to get it going again.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Appreciate the kind words.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] neo21:
regarding speed in 1.9.1 => no compcach, no linux swap and swapness to 45 is the fastest configuration i was able to find right now...

any news about this rom on 1.6?
[G1 Android Development] micahansel:
what are the main advantages or disadvantages of the rogers rom like 1.9.1 vs.. a U.S. build..I mean its built of a EU rom? so does it not matter where these Mods or Roms come from as far as working on the networks 3g? please help me understand this
[G1 Android Development] QBANIN:
What's the purpose of using swappiness parameter if you don't use swap? :)
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
None yet.

~enom~

Rogers has HTCDialer, HTCCamera, Full Exchange support ... those are the biggest advantages.

Standard 1.6 builds do not.

[G1 Android Development] jimi01:
Hi,

about this last question, is the Rogers the only rom that have full Exchange support ?

tnks in advance,

jimi01
[G1 Android Development] sxytxy:
Calendar is FCing

I just flashed this rom on, (did it twice to make sure), and with only google syncing, I can access the calendar, once I put in the exchange information, I can see my email, but the Calendar continuously force quits now, even if I turn off the calendar sync.

I used to use a Rogers rom a long time ago without problems, so I don't think its an Exchange Server issue, but it could be.

I went to the recovery console and mounted the sd card and wiped app, app-private, dalvik-cache, expstick, etc. Then re-wiped and flashed, and still have it FCing. Is there anything else you can suggest for me to try to get it not to FC?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
HERO ROM's also have full exchange support ... if you're into that sorta thing.

~enom~
