poland?

i see ur in warsaw. is that poland? did you have insurance on ur g1? or maybe a warranty?
[G1 Android Development] gospeed.racer:
Oh no! I am sure you will be able to get it fixed through HTC though, I have sent a phone to them before and they covered it 100%. I told them I bought it off Craigslist (which I did) and that Tmobile wouldnt help me (they wouldnt) and they said it was still covered under MFG warranty and gave me a RMA number. I paid $5 for Priority mail to them, and they shipped it back free. They will tell you that they MAY charge you no MORE than $29 as a triage fee to look at it, but I have yet to hear of anyone being charged that. If the phone doesn't have physical damage, you should be fine!

I assumed Warsaw, Indiana...USA...I am not sure how the HTC warranty is handled in other countries :( Hopefully much the same, as I was very happy with HTC USA.

need wipe to revert from 3.0.1 to 3.0?

i need root and i found some slowdowns usign phone and sms.
[G1 Android Development] jerhoyet:
Your phone should be covered under the manufacture's warranty. Considering it is most likely a hardware failure, you're looking at paying for shipping and nothing else :)

Before I got on T-Mobile to get a G1 I had a crappy flip-phone from Alltel for my entire two year contract. About 3 months before I switched the phone just crapped out, and it was still under warranty by LG, so they replaced it for free. Should be the same deal. Usually you get a 1-2 year warranty from the manufacture.
[G1 Android Development] badaphooko01:
I tried going from 3.0.1 to 3.0 and it didn't go so well. It would boot up but kept foreclosing and I couldn't do anything, good thing I made a nandroid backup and was able to restore.

Too bad this rom is being closed, I feel for ya akirah, I would be devistated if my G1 took a dump. Luckily, here they are pretty cheap second hand on Craigslist.

I will still run this rom for a while, Its been pretty stable and fast. There are only two bugs for me, one is terminal forecloses but i was able to download a diff version from the market that worked. In addition I have trouble using my htc adapter that has a 3.5mm and lets you charge at the same time.
[G1 Android Development] sumasage:
Try everything possible to get it to turn on then, if you can then unroot phone and put on stock rom and go through warranty. Maybe say it updated w/ donut and not not working well.

If it doesnt turn on at all then you can safely warranty it. If tmo cant turn it on they wont be able to find out your root it :D lol

I would try warranty first then buy a new one.
[G1 Android Development] MrMind10:
if by any chance the ota gets installed, what happens? it checks for updates by itself. I know you lose root but does the phone work after the ota update gets installed?:confused:
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I think EVERYONE should donate to this guy too.

What is your donation link?
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
the phone will work. the different SPLs don't matter, just as long as the ROM is intact it should run...
[G1 Android Development] pnaciona:
I haven't tried your ROM but the way you described how your G1 died made me wonder if this is a common thing with this model. It's exactly how mine died as well and I've heard from a few others who had the same problem. It was still rooted when I brought it back to T-Mobile but they can't bring it to life to know the changes I've made. So, T-Mobile replaced mine (it was still under warranty). Good luck!
[G1 Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
NoooooOoooo! This was by far the best ROM Ive used lately, I keep it as my nandroid backup whenever I try something new :(

I hope you can get your G1 Fixed under warranty, you do some great work here. Do you have a donate button? perhaps we can help
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Unfortunately my unit is not under warranty. I'll try to call local HTC and ask how much it will cost to repair unit (which will be most probably mainboard replacement). Usually in such situation is cheaper to get a new used one ;)
[G1 Android Development] gospeed.racer:
I have been checking Craigslist locally and there are lots of cheap ones with digitizer damage. If I can score one for a deal, I would be happy to send you a working mainboard to continue with. The replacement is very easy. This ROM needs to continue! :p
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
back from ashes... see first post
[G1 Android Development] gongzhq:
welcom back,congratulations
[G1 Android Development] naimsiddiq:
does 3.01a have root
[G1 Android Development] knight4linux:
Oh thank god man...I was really disappointed when I read that bad news on the first post that you wouldn't be with us. I had just declared your rom as my number 1 top spot for switchrom too. Its damn good to see that your still here, as what you produce so far has been golden. :D
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Yes, it does indeed.

Akirah, wonderful effort. Thanks for your work in the midst of your tragedy. Did you get a new G1 after all?

Oh, and what's the benefit of the "BFS-303 + memory patch kernel" upgrade over the standard 3.0.1a?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Benefit is 10 more megabytes of ram but sacrifice is 3D performance.
[G1 Android Development] cyrictheman:
Hello,

I tried to install the 3.0.1a update via Cyanogens 1.4 recovery and it gets to installing update, then it errors out with

"E:Error in cleanup.sh

(Status 256)

E:Failure at line 3:

run_program PACKAGE:cleanup.sh"

Ive downloaded it twice in case it was a download error.

Not sure if its something I've done wrong or not, but I haven't had any issues with your 2.1 rom or any of the recent Cyanogen's.

I've tried going straight from 2.1 and I've tried wiping.

Anyone else been getting this?
[G1 Android Development] sardoid:
I was flash this rom with RA recovery and have non error:)but for me wifi not works:/anybody else?
[G1 Android Development] ccunningham83:
And how do you apply it? Same as usual, rename to upgrade.zip and flash?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
This could be error if you would have older recovery image. I'm using Cyanogen 1.4 and it works fine.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
If you're experiencing Wlan problems please wait 10 minutes from time of the post, and download file again.

Sorry for causing you problem.
[G1 Android Development] santana00:
Can some tell me what's bfs303 and memory patch is and what does it do? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] santana00:
Can someone tell me what's bfs303 and memory patch is and what does it do? Thanks
[G1 Android Development] ccunningham83:
It's on the same page.

I believe "BFS" is Brain ****ed Scheduler. If I am correct it prioritizes processes backwards of what they would conventionally be scheduled as (where the Brain ****ed comes in) resulting some how in everything operating wonderfully. I believe it is only used in computers with very small processor and memory resorces. BFS 303 is probably just an upgrade to the scheduler.

Now to my question.

Rename to upgrade.zip and flash the patch right?
[G1 Android Development] cigar3tte:
Can someone confirm about the bootloader requirement? I see it says works properly with HardSPL, but that HaykuroSPL is required.
[G1 Android Development] sardoid:
Wifi still not works:/
[G1 Android Development] mjb337:
Nice work on your other builds but 3.0.1 installation aboarded each time I flash and yes I always wipe my ass can you please fix...Thankz
[G1 Android Development] mtx4626:
after i have updated the BFS303 (renamed to update.zip) i got a black screen after reboot :(

i will restore....
[G1 Android Development] DynaMight:
3.01 doesnt work at all for me. Happily running 2.1 since it was released.

Tried a non-wipe update to 3.01 but took ages to boot then very very slow once it loaded, so wiped delvik-cache as suggested for 3.0 but then it wouldnt boot past the Android logo screen, so reflashed and wiped and still extremely slow, took a few seconds for any button press or screen press to register plus lots of FC.

Just trying to restore back to 2.1 now :(
[G1 Android Development] ccunningham83:
Try clearing the ext partition. When I first switched to 3.0 mine did that. Cleared it out and all was good.
[G1 Android Development] Redestwing:
Not sure why but with every build the dialer will lag or sometimes freeze for 10 seconds.
[G1 Android Development] cyrictheman:
Looking at the cleanup.sh, it looks like its designed to clean up things on SD card for those who have app2sd installed. I, however, do not have that set up and I think its erroring out because its trying to delete a cache folder I do not have.

Its all hash checked so I cannot just delete the file or its contents. I'm going to try to add the folders its looking for so can delete its nonexistent contents.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Well, it should just cleanup your dalvik-cache. You might be right, I haven't tried situation without apps2sd... bummer.

Anyway, It seems that there's a lot of problems with 3.0.1. I'm working on that now.
[G1 Android Development] Ajax1885:
Flashed and booted into 3.01 just dandy. No root (Already stated in your OP, Akirah), no Apps2SD, but you said you lost your SD Card, so this is understandable.

Anyways, it's been my daily 1.6 ROM for the longest time now. Well, ever since official drop and all and that whole Cyanogen mess. This feels faster than anything I've ever tried, even in it's current state of existence without A2SD or root. I really only use root for OC, but this thing doesn't need it, that's painfully obvious.

I don't use wifi, though. So, I can't comment there. :P

Great work, Akirah.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
3.0.2 out. Fixes most of the problems, see first post.
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
did you fix your keyboard lag issue for "search" in google and youtube (not to mention the browser and youtube reboots)
[G1 Android Development] AshTR:
Awesome. Glad to see everything is supposed to be fixed. I'll definitely be flashing this a little later.
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
can someone update us on how this rom is doing so far? 2.0 was ok, but had the issues i mentioned above, and 2.1 wouldnt work well and 3.0 sucked. so i haven't kept up with it since. thanks.

please compare with cyan's 4.1.99 (4.1.999 is very slow and has more issues). if it's better then this is worth the try. i'm not trying it on my own right now because i'm really busy and can't afford to miss calls/messages at the moment so i can't fully wipe ext and wipe my phone for just testing if this is good or not. plus i hate stock theme alot. appreciate any feedback guys.
[G1 Android Development] sumasage:
Glad to see that you are back Akirah.

Couple of questions:

1) Fix most problems? what problem arent fixed? lol Be nice to know.

2) Does 3.0.2a have root access?

3) I am not familiar with the memory hack, you mentioned in previous post that the memory hack (BFS303) will increate ram but decease 3d performance. What are consider 3d performance?

Thanks for the update
[G1 Android Development] AshTR:
I'll let you know after I flash 3.0.2a if someone else doesn't.
[G1 Android Development] sumasage:
Hmm...i am running 3.0 and love it. Very fast and stable, much better than CM 4.1 experiment+
[G1 Android Development] robpet2:
might have to give this a try for stability reasons and better battery life
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
thanks bro.

3.0 just had too many FC issues that's why i wasn't happy with it. i changed the spl and everything to make it run. im glad that it works for you. a buddy of mine is running 4.1.999 with overclock and loccy browser saying that it runs fine but he has to hard reset once a day. for me, cyan's new ones lagged alot, so this is why im back here to see if akirah's improved or not.

also, as mentioned above, what IS NOT FIXED?
[G1 Android Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
Ive been rocking 3.0 as my primary backup while experimenting with Hero and Cyanogen's latest, Maybe its a user.conf settings but I havent had many issues with it.

The only thinng that worries me about the latest iteration is the memory hack which has been nothing but trouble in all the hero ROMs w/ BFS 300 kernels
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
HTC_IME still lagging a bit
[G1 Android Development] the_chief-G1:
Can not make it support chinese?
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
so what about android keyboard? is google search issue fixed? cuz the android keyboard would lag when pressing search or trying to type into search bar or youtube.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
It's much better in my opinion. Point is,that search and youtube search makes system to transmit data,probably writes to cache, and cpu usage jumps. Due to cpu usage jumps BFS might not be able to assign priorities properly and this is where the lag comes from.

For now I didn't noticed any big lag
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
oh yeah i forgot. the problem that i had with your previous versions was the annoying music app starting on its own. i was in pandora and the music app would randomly start without even being on- i would go into the music app and it had the play button (meaning it wasn't supposed to be playing- so i hit play and it would keep playing as it was and then id hit it again to pause and it stopped)- i exited and again after it would happen again.
[G1 Android Development] Zoide_:
X2, Chinese handwriting support with the HTC_CIME would be *killer*!
[G1 Android Development] youneek:
It seems this rom is very twitchy when you are scrolling in a window. It reminds me of old CRT monitors that would flicker super fast all day...
[G1 Android Development] ogwilson:
Very stable, very fast. Haven't tested wifi or bluetooth, and I too am getting lag issues with both virtual and physical keyboards, but everything else seems fine.

The thing I love about this rom is how clean it is. Cyan's customizations are nice but sometimes I feel less is more, and his were getting quite bloated (not to mention performance in his seems to habe taken a huge nosedive on my device.)

Anyway, keep it up, and plz fix keyboard issues
[G1 Android Development] badaphooko01:
lol, I thought that was just my phone, but mine is doing the same with songs I downloaded from "I Music" I guess its just the build. I'm running 3.0 and it has been really stable. I have not had one foreclosure, I'll wait till all the bugs are worked out before I upgrade.
[G1 Android Development] knight4linux:
After a fresh wipe of both ext and data, update 3.0.2a still leaves me with NO root. I can't get squat. Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] sumasage:
I think 3.0.2a still does not have root access. I ran the terminal emulator and ran su command, it reply with permission denied.

Anyone else get that too?

Also more importantly, anyone able to reboot??? I flash from 3.0 to 3.0.2a (RA recovery. wipe ext partion + factory rest) Once flashed the device boot up as normal but after that if i turn it off and turn it back on it stuck at the G1 screen. Any idea??
[G1 Android Development] ogwilson:
I'm also not able to get root using 'su' in terminal, which I think is what's disallowing me to use any overclocking app. Please fix this. Other than that everything has been perfect so far.
[G1 Android Development] AshTR:
Yep. There's no root access in 3.0.2a.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Ahh, because I check only adb root. Fix is coming :)
[G1 Android Development] AshTR:
Oh, that's good then. :P I'll have to go back to my Nandroid backup of 3.0 though since I'm going to bed soon and need my phone in the morning.

I'll just flash the root-fixed version when I get back or whenever it's available. Thanks for adding in all the extras and such though. It's really speedy from what I gathered.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Fix ready: root fix for 3.0.2
[G1 Android Development] zubasu:
I am missing the data sync options under settings. anyone else experiencing the same problem?
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
If the rom is as stable as 2.1 we need to wait for Brandenk to update his themes :)

Could you please use CM's APN list because the original has many GSM networks missing.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Sure, I'll put it in next release.

For those who experience problems with reboot: it might be related to unjournaled ext4 partition. You might want to run ext3, or bring journal back.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
do we just flash the root fix like an update?
[G1 Android Development] zubasu:
I just flashed a second time and i am still missing the data synchronization options in the system settings. is this a confirmed problem?
[G1 Android Development] Archont:
I haven't built it, but from looking inside the zip I would say yes.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
yeah I looked in the zip before I flashed it it looks like an update.
[G1 Android Development] c_licious:
Yep! Worked fine for me... first flashed rom and rebooted, then applied root fix and everything looks great!
[G1 Android Development] c_licious:
What does it mean to have an "unjournaled" ext4 partition? I have a 500 MB ext4 (no clue what journal is) and no problems so far (knock on wood).

What swap settings do you recommend for this rom?

By the way, GREAT WORK!!!! Thanks for all ur hard work and dedication!
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Confirmed

.
[G1 Android Development] c_licious:
It's super fast, I love the rom. However, Gmail doesn't seem to push emails to my phone any more. I only get new emails when I manually refresh. Is this related to the data synchronization?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
It might be, have to still verify it.
[G1 Android Development] cyrictheman:
I tried 3.0.2 today, and this time it didn't give me any errors. Everything seemed to be fine as far as flashing; but when I tried to reboot, it would get stuck on the G1 screen. After waiting 15 minutes or so I had to rip the battery out. I then tried to flash the root hack, and that seemed to go OK as well. But I still could not boot past the G1 screen.

Not sure if this is still related to not having app2sd installed or not. But I always do a wipe before installing a new rom, so thats not it either.

I still love 2.1 as it works amazing. I am eagerly awaiting the next rom.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Wipe and reflash. This has happened to me before on ROMs and the wipe and reflash is the only fix.

Yeah, it sucks to lose all your data, just remember to keep it backed up often. That's what those automatic backup apps are for. ;)
[G1 Android Development] cyrictheman:
The thing is, right after a back up (first thing always) I DO wipe. Its just one of those thing you come to expect so that the rom works as intended. The way I see it, even if I DO have to download all of my apps and reconfigure them again, its totally worth it to have a clean rom install.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Akirah, has the 3.0.2a file been refreshed with the root fix? Or if I'm coming from 3.0.1a, do I have to flash the 3.0.2a upgrade and then the root fix?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
It haven't been refreshed yet. Sorry. Working on some further fixes, but it might take some time.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
No worries, I'll wait. I wouldn't want to flash to a ROM that lacks root, even if there is a fix.
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
Hmm, with the memory patch... Does the decreased 3D performance means the navigation software will be even more chunky on refreshing the map???

//Edit//

Seem I'll have to answer my own question - at least Sygic Mobile Maps "performance" was intact with the memory kernel patch.

3.02a seem fine to me. Synchronization is not in the menu but is working somehow.

Waiting for further improvements and Brandenk's new themes !!
[G1 Android Development] sumasage:
With ext2 it seem to hang at the Tmo G1 sceen if you reboot after flash. Wipe & Reset does not fix it. I did some through testing about this. To get v3.0.2a to work correctly you will need to ext 3 but i am not sure about ext4 (did not tested).

Anyone need help with partitioning can use this guide - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534714

I need some help with back up though. When you guys say back up did you mean using Nandroid in the recovey mode? What exactly does Nandroid back up? the entire ROM? settings? apps?

I did a back up before flashed to 3.0.2a from 3.0. When i flash back to 3.0 and did the restore, the back up doesnt seem to work. I just lock up during boot. Any idea?
[G1 Android Development] t1n0m3n:
AHHH! OK, thanks for posting this. I have EXT2 and was wondering. (I have been EXT2,3,4 at least 3 times each in the past 3 days... I have been through a quite few roms lately :) ) Changing to EXT4... Will post results when I get them.

Results:

--------------------------------

I deleted/recreated the partition as EXT 4 (partition #2 in my case)

reboot

wipe, install the 3.0.2a base, install the patch, reboot

I logged in to my Google account, logged into market, downloaded/installed an app.

Opened terminal, su'd to root

reboot

installed Kspec Kustoms: Blur v1.11

reboot

--------------------------------

Seems successful to me.
[G1 Android Development] AshTR:
Just noticed two bugs for me that weren't mentioned. Orientation likes to bug out after a reboot and I have to switch it on and off before it works. (Still a bit buggy too.)

Also, turning on sound on keypress for the on-screen keyboard doesn't seem to work.

As for the data synchronization bug, I'm just using Toggle Settings to turn it on and off.
[G1 Android Development] prince.siraj:
nandroid just backs up the rom and possibly settings... apps must be re-downloaded or you can use backup for root users and save the settings, data, and apks
[G1 Android Development] AshTR:
Ok, managed to get through enough time with the phone that the only bugs I could find are the ones I mentioned in my previous post. Very awesome release this time around except for that orientation bug irritating me.

Akirah 3.0, problem with italian phisycal keyboard

Hi there,

i'm new here. I'm from italy and i have to thank you guy for the great work you're doing.

I'm using your 3.0 release that is doing very well on my g1. I only have a problem, i got the italian phisycal keyboard, and now the alt keys are not mapped corretly fo rthe italian but just for english version of the keyboard.

Is there anything i can do to fix this thing or it's possible to get that on your next release?

Thank you in advance for your attention, i'm a newbie and i'm not so skilled as you all.

Cheers,

paolo
[G1 Android Development] c_licious:
GREAT rom

I reflashed the rom and the problem disappeared. Nice work man, this rom is super smooth. After using it all day I haven't noticed any bugs or other problems. Just a really pleasant, stable and fast G1 experience.
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Does the audio hack work with this??

I tried to port the files but the audio didn't change. the second time I did it, the phone went to the black screen.
[G1 Android Development] badaphooko01:
It works on 3.0, dont know about 3.0.2, I havent' flashed it.
[G1 Android Development] daerl:
Strange app, chinese name

I was running Akirah 3.0, and am waiting for an update with root again. I noticed under 'manage apps', down at the bottom of the list is an app with a chinese (i think) character name, with a whole lot of permissions that cannot be uninstalled. Any idea what this is?
[G1 Android Development] eessel:
It's probably the chinese keyboard. If you look under 'settings', and then under 'locale&text', you will see one of the keyboard choices is in chinese. Or at least, i think it's chinese. lol
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
Will the themes linked in the first post still work with 3.0.2?
[G1 Android Development] JoshHart:
Anyone get Loccy's browser to work on this? Did you push through ADB?
[G1 Android Development] c_licious:
Yep, I installed it as I would any other app. I did have problems installing the optimized version and had to do it through ADB. Here is how to do it:

1) adb remount

2) adb shell

3) # rm /system/app/Browser.apk

4) # exit

5) adb push Browser-bb15-donut-optimized.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
[G1 Android Development] AshTR:
Wait a second...So data synchronization shows up in Settings for you?
