Um,

I wouldn't say there are any downsides persay. From what I've seen it perhaps greatly improves the overall performance of a 2.6.29 kernel on android, when compared to the standard anticipatory scheduler.

The only downside I can perhaps see (which is somewhat speculation), is that since BFS is not natively supported in 2.6.29 kernels, users are relying on the backport of a single developer here, so I would consider it experimental for some time to come, as it's still being tested. Thankfully by a fairly large user base. :) But from "what I hear", the bugs have mostly been ironed out and hopefully it will serve users well.

I personally will likely (not absolutely) not consider utilizing BFS, unless a native/stable 2.6.30 kernel enters the google git for android source.

But that's just me.

[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
Ok, well I didn't see the expsetup, so now I see that that will re-create odex's for you. Awesome.

I also was just confused by the theme in the 2nd post as it did not have the rogers dialer... it looks like a cupcake theme. So that theme is the only one compatible with this rom currently?

np on the APK tools, I'll find them myself.
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi rpmccormick,

Sorry if I came off harsh previously. (actually thought you were possibly some1 else, lol)

1 note about the odex option in expsetup. This is for /data/app's not /system/app's. The process is similar, but slightly different. But theoretically one could possibly examine the exp scripts and gain some insight into odex'ing. ;) Nuf said there.

As far as themes, yea the HERO theme screenshots show the "CRC1" not the "Rogers" theme, sorry my bad, I see the confusion now. Again sorry, but yea, the themes are almost "identical", except the Rogers theme has a different statusbar look and of course the HTC dialer (unthemed at the moment).

And finally yes, this is the only theme thus far for this ROM. It's still "young", meaning I just released this ROM in the last week and half or so I think. So I rushed to port (1) theme. Once I released v1.8.4, more themes will come and eventually the HTC dialer will get themed too. :)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] rpmccormick:
I just installed the full Hero theme. Here's some feedback. It is totally awesome you are maintaining this new ROM and a custom skin. All your work is much appreciated.

The only changes I see are...

1) The top status bar which looks perfect and is exactly like I wanted. The only thing I like a little better is the transparent pull-down bar that is used in many Hero ROMs instead of the solid gray rectangle.

2) The Search Widget which looks perfect and is exactly like I wanted.

3) The Contacts/Call-Log/Favorites. Looks great. I would remove the text and use smaller icons, but good as-is. The old ones were fine with me too though.

4) The hero curved apps-tray button. Honestly, I like the stock transparent one better. Maybe this one would be good if it was transparent. The stock one in a darker transparent gray would look good and match the transparent pull-down I was talking about in #1 above.

5) The gray title bar on top of most apps looks awesome.

Everything else I must not use or missed.

EDIT: Sorry man, there was a lot I missed at first. All the little dialogs everywhere look totally awesome. Great work! You even have a transparent app-drawer when it is open. I would just make it transparent when closed as well.

Additional things I would like to see skined...

1) Calendar widget in transparent black just like the Google Search widget.

2) The window-frame around an open folder could also be glass-black.

3) The Dialer in black with the bigger pull up/down bar like in Hero.

Looking great though!

Oh, and one question... what apks or whatever do I delete to remove the weather/toggle widgets that I installed using expsetup? I prefer the CurveFish toggles and the weather stuff always slows my phone down.

EDIT: Also could you make it with a "3G" instead of an "H" on the transfer-icon in the status-bar

EDIT2: FYI, this rom doesn't work good with compcache+144mb swap. With cc+no swap it is still running lightning fast! I love it. Anyone found the best swappyness setting for this rom with CC+no linux-swap on a G1us?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi rpmccormick,

Thanks for the feedback on the HERO theme! That's appreciated.

As far as swappiness, the higher the setting the more likely programs will stay memory resident w/ a slight performance tradeoff when switching between apps. The lower the setting the less likely programs will stay memory resident w/ a slight performance boost when switching between apps. I'd recommend you stay between 20 & 60. The default is 30, which works very well, but if you find apps are closing more often than you'd like, then you may want to try increasing to 50-60'ish.

In terms of removing the widgets. Open up expsetup and choose the uninstall vsapps option. This will remove all vsapps it finds in /sdcard/epvsapps.

Awesome Rom Again!

I have to say I really like your Roms. I like having the integrated Exchange support but the Hero Roms are just too slow. Thank you for your work and I will be making a donation to you come payday. I hope that you or someone else could port over ManUp's xTheme to this Rom, or at least his themed launcher, I became a fan of the transparent launchers or the minimalist ones similar to the launcher in the Enoch theme by drpfenderson. Thanks again for the awesome Rom!

[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi FotoJesse623,

Yea, I'm a fan of the xROM theme too. A couple others let me know they were interested in this theme as well. I will put in a "permission slip" w/manup and see if I can get this ported. :)

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi Kasuko,

Yea, with that SPL and the cyanogen recovery 1.2, you should be able to install this ROM with no issues.

I still don't know why Rogers HTC phones w/ the newer radio 3.22.20.17 can't use the latest cyanogen recovery, but I know a couple other users have said the same. I personally don't know, as I have the G1 dream HW, not the Rogers-dream. Either way, you should be able to use this ROM.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Kasuko:
Nope now stuck on the Rogers logo when booting normally. No adb activity
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
hhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmm dang.

It sounds like it's not getting past the kernel boot up / init process. Did the install appear to go ok?

There must be a shortcoming in the kernel I've compiled that will not boot your phone. This is all I can think of ... if adbd never gets started than we've pretty much got a kernel / init problem.

Till I have time to gain a little more insight here, I'd suggest going back to your previous ROM.

You could also try soulife's rogers, he uses a cyanogen 2.6.29 kernel that may have already had patches applied to it to support the HW.

Sorry for the mixup. I will have to do some digging, as there really isn't any trouble shooting we can perform when the phone is in this state.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] Kasuko:
Do you have the changes that Roger's made to the kernel in yours?
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Also,

you may have been correct in needing to root this way ..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544654

this installs the proper (hacked) SPL that can find the kernel and ramdisk, I'm almost 100% sure that's whats occurring here. Again, I apologize for the mixup. I should have known better. :(

So, if you're not comfortable using Haykuro's methods above, then yea, you'll likely be limited to certain types of ROM's that support the HW specifically (apparently not this ROM).

Sorry again, to put you threw trouble.

~enom~
[G1 Android Development] enomther:
No I have not placed any Rogers specific kernel code in my kernel. I'm sure that's the issue. See above post.
[G1 Android Development] Kasuko:
Doing it now, since it appears there are few if no compatible Rogers ROMs, so I will just bite the dust and finish the root. Thanks

[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi darkdhanil,

The most common causes of "boot loop" are bad sdcard partitioning and/or you lack the 1.33.2005 SPL.

Please note, ext4 is not supported. And any 2nd partition on your sdcard MUST be either ext2/ext3. This will cause boot loops if that is not the case. If you are unsure .. poweroff, remove the sdcard and reboot the phone.

[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hey darkdhanil,

Sure NP, glad the problem was solved.

As far as the differences between the TMO & Rogers, ones released from TMO, the other from Rogers. Both are equally stable.

I have to say the TMO build is slightly faster in my experiences, but it's only slightly faster now that I've tweaked out the Rogers.

The Rogers has additional features, which I personally need/enjoy, such as Full Exchange ActiveSync (I absolutely need this), the HTC dialer (searches for contacts/numbers as you dial - Gr8 feature), and another notable to me is the HTC Camera, which provide a nicer zoom'ing featureset w/ the rollerball.

Right now, the TMO build, supports more themes, but that will change soon.

Hope that helps.

Hey Bob,

So I looked over the apn's and these exact settings are not present in the apn list. That's probably you're problem. I will compile a "patch" test for you specifically. My gut tells me, that if you traveled Europe abroad you'd likely have no issues. It seems this is specific to the Netherlands. :)

So one question for you before I send over a patch for you to test. Using these APN settings are you able to successfully send/receive MMS and SMS messages ?

I did 1.8.2 as a fresh install and didn't even restore my txt/call-history with Backup4RU because it had been causing me problems I think. Then I upgraded the 1.8.3 camera apk by manually pushing it. Then I installed the Theme as update.zip (which I guess included the 1.8.3 camcorder upgrade right?).

Questions:

1) Can I do a no-wipe update to 1.8.4? If not, is there a recommended way of bringing your icon-layout, txts, and call-history along with you after a wipe?

2) Does the 3.1 version of the theme still work with 1.8.4? (and I assume I would have to re-installed after the ROM upgrade right?)

Thanks enom now i am fully using ur mod and is awesome.One thing if you could take in consideration,im not from tmobile so every time that install a ROM i need to get a wireles signal to get in markets and download a file manager so i can instal My Backups App then i restore everything it would be nice if you could integrate an file explorer in the next release for people like me.

[G1 Android Development] enomther:
Hi darkdhanil,

I'll likely not include a "file manager" in my ROM's and here's a tip/pointer that will likely help your situation.

Keep a copy of your favorite filemanager.apk and backupprogram.apk on your sdcard.

Then after switching ROM's and/or wiping your config, open up the TerminalApp and do something like the following ...

su
cd /sdcard
install filemanager.apk /data/app
install backupprogram.apk /data/app
exit
exit

That's a simple way to perform command line installation of apps. ;)

It's me again with another problem. I have tried both themes that you have ported over to the 1.8 rom and neither will install. It gets as far as copying files then says: E:failure at line 1:, copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM, installation aborted. When all this happens I have to reflash the rom to get my phone to boot past the android screen, goes into a loop at this point. This happened with the Hero theme v3.1 and the glossblack theme. I downloaded both of them from your post #2.

Hey Clint man ...

I had another guy hit me up today about trouble flashing themes also.

Had the same exact error you had, w/the proper SPL. 1.33.2005.

Here's what we did to fix it, make sure you have cyanogen's 1.4 recovery.

1) Rebooted into recovery, verify it says Cyanogen 1.4 + JF.

2) Use the flash anyzip option, and reflash the ROM (do NOT wipe).

3) When it's finished, use the flash anyzip option again and flash the theme.

4) Reboot.

This allowed that individual to flash the theme and overcome that copying files error. Give that a shot for me and let me know how it goes.
