I haven't tried them all but blackened works and chimera works with 3.0.2a you have to reapply root after flashing the theme though.
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
I'm using Kspec Kustoms Pulse by Brandenk and it is working great.

Need no root re-patch.

Although, there still no Synchronization options in Settings menu.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
is it in settings data synchronization? I have it on the Blackened theme on 3.0.2a
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
But the Blackened theme is build for Akirah v2.

Maybe there is something that is missing here, with themes build for v3...

Still waiting for fix from Akirah and new themes :P
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
Yeah probably but I hate the stock look so I nandroided and then flashed it and it works fine.

I wish there was a white theme black doesn't look right on my white g1.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
I should call lack of root as "security enhancement". Hahaha.

Sorry guys, update will be most likely tomorrow.
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
And how shall we call the lack of auto mail synchronization?

A trouble free weekend ? :P
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Agreed. It's not a bug - it's a feature! :)

Akirah 3.1beta1here's fixed version, which should work fine. clear dalvik-cache due to lot of apk's and frameworks replacements. More languages added, working pdf reader and better terminal instead of standard terminal.apk

It seems that there's speed improvement too.
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
First to try.

I'll check if the Purple theme will work as well.

Ever thought about embedding a theme into your ROM? Obviously people using custom ROMs hardy stay with the default look.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Remember that theme might break fixes :)

Well, I could incorporate theme inside ROM, but I would rather leave people a choice.
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
Well, Purple theme was build for first v3, worked nice with 3.0.2a so need to be confirmed if the compatibility remains.

People can OVERWRITE the default theme and theming the ROM build will at least keep it always visual attractive and recent.
[G1 Android Development] machuidel:
Just installed the latest beta version of your rom. Noticed I cannot make calls (GPRS icon is disappearing). I also liked the other terminal better. The new terminal emulator is slower. What key do I press for CTRL?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
I've just tried and I make a calls. What is exactly happening, no connection at all?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Really, I prefer this one. It's also better for Magic users. To make control, just press trackball and desired letter.
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
Good, you have update APNs list. Thanks

Purple theme is working fine (just for safety I always remove dalvik cache after flashing a theme).

Synchro is back.

I can make and receive calls, data and everything.

My navigation software is working fine (Sygic Mobile Maps).

Bluetooth headset control is working (calls and music control) BUT MUSIC is not transmitted (but calls are getting through).
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Try to disconnect your headset and connect again. It worked for me using Nokia BH503
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
Yeah, my bad - I was switching off and on my headset, repairing it and so on, while turning bluetooth off and on back did the trick

(I did the ROM update and theme update while blutooth settings was on).

So, so far - no problems.

OMG. Neocore benchmark is totally useless. The memory patch has killed the performance for good. Fortunately, it doesn't affect the maps in navigation performance.
[G1 Android Development] machuidel:
Okay. I tested again. Wiped twice this time and reinstalled the latest beta. Placing phone calls is working now ;).
[G1 Android Development] machuidel:
Changed my mind. I agree ;)
[G1 Android Development] ogwilson:
I'd love to be left a choice. I'm largely in love with the stock theme of Android, and would hate to be forced to use anything else on an awesome rom. It's not much trouble to flash a theme, so giving choice wherever you can is always the best route.
[G1 Android Development] drieves1:
Great theme. Can you theme Advancedlauncher throw it in?
[G1 Android Development] brandenk:
Reformat your EXT2/3/4 partition and you will be fine, I ran into the same issue on my MyTouch coming from CM 4.1.11.1 but after a reformat of the partitions it worked perfect.

If the advanced launcher is converted and added to the build I can definitely theme it, or the OP is more than welcome to use any aspects of my theme in his builds.
[G1 Android Development] srt4mn:
Great ROM! Also, theme is one of the best I have seen ever! Great job!
[G1 Android Development] brandenk:
Theme updated with new launcher so you have the option, and please direct any further questions to the theme's thread and not this development thread.
[G1 Android Development] :
Is this worth using over Cyanogen Mod 4.1.11.1 experimental? I don't see the advantage and what features would I lose over Cyanogen Mod just to get the Donut 1.6, most of the features overlap anyway is it really that much faster?
[G1 Android Development] limakev123:
theme for this rom

I flashed this rom onto my g1 and the rom works fine then I flashed the oero with blur theme that the link is on the first page of this thread but the market wont work now that i flashed the theme any1 know why? On the first page of this thread above the link for this rom there is a link for a theme so I think it goes with this rom it works fine only the market wont work. please help anyone???
[G1 Android Development] sstang2006:
if ask for my personal opinion, I'll stay with Cyanogen Mod 4.1.11.1 ..

I'm putting everything setup the way that i like it to make a switchrom backup of it just in case for the future, and after that i'm going back to my CM 4.1.11.1 nandroid backup... just my opinion..
[G1 Android Development] brandenk:
http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=185

If you are using this theme you should be golden and I update it as I can. If you have having any issues try flashing Akirah's ROM again and then flash my theme.
[G1 Android Development] brandenk:
Anyone else have IM installed by the ROM but its not on the launcher menu?
[G1 Android Development] limakev123:
Yeah I will try with 1.5 vrsion maybe its fixed now. thanks
[G1 Android Development] limakev123:
I reflashed the rom and then your 1.05 theme and the market works know thanks
[G1 Android Development] weid83:
Increase compcache size?

I was wondering how to increase the compcache size in this rom? It doesn't have the usual user.conf... I need more memory because running pandora and anything else results in reloads.
[G1 Android Development] kuyamon:
Figured I would join in the fun. I just pushed userinit.sh and user.conf to /system/sd. See the thread related to this. It's in one of the stickies. I had to do it to enable my 96mb linux swap. This ROM now runs too fast :D! Also, the Blur theme looks sick on this! I am currently using the wallpaper with the puppies. I couldn't resist.
[G1 Android Development] weid83:
Yup that works. It has the a2sd script which looks for and executes userinit.sh if it exists, otherwise initiates compcache with default settings of 24m.
[G1 Android Development] ownjoouk:
love the blur theme, just wish it came with advanced launcher. I've tried themeing it myself, but it keeps FCing :( anyone fancy helping my out?

I want the standalone version if possible, but either is good.

EDIT: HAHA... it has been added - only just noticed! WOOHOO!!

Or should I push this and ask brandenk to a nice blur themes stericson lock screen?? lol
[G1 Android Development] :
Wiped, cleared dalvik-cache, and formatted ext3. Flashed. HOLY CRAP this is fast!!!
[G1 Android Development] x9f:
any screens?
[G1 Android Development] sacredsoul:
Forgive my sceptism, but this is faster then cm 4.1.11.1?
[G1 Android Development] :
Well being a plain jane update, it looks like a stock rom. And as far as comparison to 4.1.11.1 ... I didnt have too much luck with that anyhow. I was using 4.04 until now. And it seems a lot faster for me at least. Results may vary.

The only thing so far that I haven't gotten to work is pushing the MyFaves app. I keep getting a FC@reboot. But I guess I can live without that.

Also wanted to add, I was having a lot of issues today getting my contacts to sync. I tried 4.0, 4.1.11.1, jacheroski (whatever version they just finished today) and it would not sync. Kept giving me a little error saying network was having problems and it would be fixed soon or something to that effect. As soon as I rebooted with this ROM, my contacts immediately synced. Not sure what that was all about. Whether or not it was my ROMs, or an actual network issue. Or maybe some network setting got changed. It was quite the coinkydink tho.
[G1 Android Development] osho741:
i havent tried to install this rom yet, and i am on cm 4.11.1 as well. I think some of the people touting its speed may of come from roms that did not have the bfs kernal or may of came from a hero build. the difference in speed from 4.04 to 4.11.1 would be pretty noticeable since 4.04 doesnt have bfs installed. But it seems people are pretty happy with this rom that have tried it :)
[G1 Android Development] IronFly:
sorry guys, but i can't find the terminal on this last rom, is missing from the Application list.
[G1 Android Development] badaphooko01:
Can I go from 3.0 to 3.1 beta 1 without wiping? Or what necessary steps should I take to avoid problems?
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
Clean dalvik-cache from your ext partition and you will be fine.
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
OK, one vote against is enough.

I give up my idea. (Although I find original Android look too much ascetic, just like comparing Qt4 with Gtk :P ).

After few hours heavy usage ROM is stable and smooth.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Wanna OT flame GTK vs QT ? :)

Anyway, Is anyone experiencing "blackouts". Your phone seems to be on, but screen doesn't turn on. I got just couple of minutes ago but couldn't catch logcat as I've been out of home. If someone will have possibility, can you send it to me?
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
I was talking about Gtk 1.

Anyway.

Have done 2hrs calls, some GPS navigation, music listening over the Bluetooth.

Solid as a wall.

No blackouts.

Purple theme is causing no trouble.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Akirah, you said for 3.0.1 that it would include the Mms and Phone apks that have been bundled with Cyanogen. However, I haven't seen those yet. Did they get missed when the version was redone after you lost your SD card?
[G1 Android Development] ogwilson:
No blackouts on my end. All is well and no problems.
[G1 Android Development] iwamoto:
Updated from 3.0, install went fine, everything works the 1st time, but when i reboot, gets stuck on Tmo boot screen, let's see if a dalvik clean can sort this out.
[G1 Android Development] machuidel:
I had a blackout using 3.1b1 on my G1 this evening. How to get a log the next time it happens?
[G1 Android Development] tman7510:
how do I clear the dalvik-cache?
[G1 Android Development] sumasage:
I had the same questions and found the answer is to format (or delete then recreate) your ext2/3/4 partition. The RA_Dream recover have the option to format ext partition if you dont like doing it manually. Dont ask me how to do it manually lol i dont know....

If i'm wrong on this, someone please correct.
[G1 Android Development] t1n0m3n:
shut your phone off

boot into the recovery tool (power+home)

scroll down to "go to console" and select it

open the keyboard

press enter

type (without quotes) "mount /system/sd" and press enter

type (without quotes) "cd /system/sd" and press enter

type (without quotes) "rm -r dalvik-cache" and press enter

type (without quotes) "reboot" and press enter

Enjoy

The method quoted above will also delete your apps. So if you choose to use it, take measures to back up your apps before hand.
[G1 Android Development] c_licious:
Happened to me on every update after 2.1 Didn't save the logcat, sorry. Had to reflash to get it working again...
[G1 Android Development] jugg2000:
A scripted that can perform this can be created and pushed to the system directory.
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
Blackout alert.

Yeah. Happened two times from last post.

Once after playing a little with phone (nothing special beside using terminal) and second - by itself - after whole night idle - in the morning I found my phone with frozen screen.
[G1 Android Development] AshTR:
Hmm...Personally I'm a little worried about this release from what I'm seeing. I think I'll stick with 3.0.2a for a while.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
I really suspect it's a BFS kernel issue.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
I think it is because I had the same problem with Cy's 4.1.99 until I posted about it and someone said it was a known problem not related to themes. They said to turn off compatibility mode in Spare parts haven't had one since.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
That might be important input, thanks :)
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
Here's the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4683179&highlight=PlatinumMOTO#post4683179
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Thanks! If someone is willing to try mempatched non-bfs kernel, here it is:

mempatch kernel
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
I'll go for 24hrs test of Compatibility mode turned off.

We will see if I get my phone blackouted or some of the software I'm using will cause me a trouble.

I believe the BFS is responsible for snappier system behavior so I would prefer not to sacrifice it.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
Are you using compcache with backing swap or without? How do I install the mempatch kernel?

I think the memory hack is responsible for the snappy behavior though because I have Akirah 3.02a with blackened theme on my black g1 and dwangs1.6 with gChrome on my white g1 and he has no BFS and it still competes and matches Akirah's. I also tried Enom's 1.6 ADP and while it is fast you can see the difference the mem hack has on it.

(just from my experience of running both ROMs for 2 days) no crashes or black screens or FC's)
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Will also try to run with compatibility mode disabled. In addition I'll try to release updater in the evening.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
That must be why I never got a blackout. I turned compatability mode off since it was messing with my widgets.
[G1 Android Development] longj49:
this rom rocks! installed without any issues on my G1.

i noticed however that applications are not being installed on my sd card, even though i have created the fat32 & ext2/ext3/swap partitions properly.

should i install and run AppstoSD?
[G1 Android Development] IronFly:
works like a charm this 3.1b1

no blackout until now.
[G1 Android Development] mtx4626:
Why did you put the PDF Reader back???

The PDF Reader is back but will not open... where can i find the working pdf reader?

Regards
[G1 Android Development] cigar3tte:
I thought the PDFViewer and QuickOffice have been deemed warez and would no longer be available.
[G1 Android Development] mtx4626:
lol .. Does the PDF Reader works on somebody?? Quickoffice is working..
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I wish Brandenk's theme was ported for this. I love his theme.
[G1 Android Development] ogwilson:
Is there a way I can disable the new launcher stuff (i wanna go back to 3 homescreens, and 4 apps on a row in the launcher instead of 5) ? I really like the default. its not a terribly big deal but if you know of a way for me to go back to the way android normally does it, please let me know. thanks.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Just push older Launcher.apk
[G1 Android Development] ogwilson:
Takes forever for me to get back to the homescreen now from within any app. 10-30 seconds depending on the app and if its doing anything. Also, menu button not working for me on the Homescreen. Still not getting notifications and synching for email, contacts, and calendar.
[G1 Android Development] ogwilson:
do you have a file for the old launcher.apk? i didnt have a backup of it
[G1 Android Development] mtx4626:
Yea i love this Theme too. Thats why i have flashed back to Akirah v. 3.0 and used the 1.11 Theme from him and my G1 is as super fast and stable as the 3.1b1 no FC, lags or Bugs!!!! (I have tryed the theme with 3.1b1 but this is making the G1 slow and laggy and there r many FC...)
[G1 Android Development] AshTR:
Hmm...Sound on keypress for Android keyboard doesn't work. I think all the standard words are missing too?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Aaa... strange, works here.
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
Camera app force closes with german (and other?) languages .

same as http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=427 i guess
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Yes, it's problem in donut
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
Well, it is. But non the less it would be kind of you to include the fixed camera app ;)

I just pushed it over, works fine for german language.
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Ok, I'll attach it to first post. And as soon as I will finish rom-updater (based off cm-updater) will be available as update.
[G1 Android Development] AshTR:
For some reason it doesn't seem to have been working since 3.0, I believe.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
Would like to try 3.0.2a with no BFS how do I install the kernel?
[G1 Android Development] tman7510:
anyone fixed the pdfviewer force close?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
PDFViewer closes because of lack libpdfreader.so I think. Anyway PDF and Quickoffice will be removed from 3.1 release. It takes a lot of space, it's considered illegal, and anyway it's easy to push ;)
[G1 Android Development] rockdevourer:
Dunno if you forgot to include it or not, but the change log says updater, but I see none. Just letting you know, otherwise its working perfectly! Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] tman7510:
Hey Akirah, how do I add openvpn. I have the openvpn-android-2.1 tarball but seeing how my phone doesnt have a compiler like gcc there is no way to add it :confused:
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
Did you change the SPL requirements? because at first I think it said HardSPL/DangerSPL

now it says DangerSPL/HaykuroSPL so it now requires the DangerSPL?

I tried to flash this to a g1 with HardSPL didn't work just blackscreened.
[G1 Android Development] kingskidd268:
I got my new g1 and I have the hard spl and 2.0 works well, with it.
[G1 Android Development] lilrob29:
if i have hero on my phone can i still do the 1.6 update???

its a G1 running on haykuros rom
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Wipe, erase ext3 and you should be ok
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
Akirah, did you ever see my question a while back about the modified Phone.apk and Mms.apk? Are the enhanced versions of these included in 3.1 as was promised in your changelog for 3.0.1? Because using 3.0.1a, I don't have these apps.
[G1 Android Development] tman7510:
3.1 was great for about4 hours and then I ran into application setting not responding error, gmail app couldn't send email and auto rotate stopped working. reboot fixes autorotate but still cant send email but have no problem recieving? I like the rom it is real fast but I need my gmail and more then 4 hours of stability. I deleted my dalvik-cache and ran fix permissions but still no go.
[G1 Android Development] phantom574:
Question and im sorry if this has already been answered im coming form cyanogen-4.1.11.1 will i have to wipe ?
[G1 Android Development] tman7510:
yes you need to wipe,wipe ext, and then flash :) I hate that you have to wipe the ext partition so be sure to backup your apps.

Akirah bug report: cant use headphones? After wiping,wiping ext, and reflashing I was able to fix my gmail app issue but headphones dont work when playing music. Also is there anything you can do so that we dont have to wipe the ext partition to get it to work properly. :D
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
You should at least clean the dalvik-cache.

Try to leave your apps, if you get FCs - run fix_permissions script.

If that won't help - wipe.

And let us know the answer.
[G1 Android Development] PSP_Hacker:
Ringing problems ( Pico TTS )

Just had a problem with an incoming call.

The phone did not ring at all, and I got a message that "Pico TTS" was not responding.

With this build, I was able to pickup a call once; about 10 minutes later someone tried calling and it didn't ring or turn on the display at all.

Update:

I just got a call and it rang successfully. Strange...
[G1 Android Development] badaphooko01:
I am still sitting on 3.0, will there be a fix for the headphone bug? Anybody else experiencing this or is this a donut thing?

Do you guys know if the few themes that available for 3.0 will work on 3.1?
[G1 Android Development] AshTR:
That's what I was getting on 3.0.2a. Someone told me they tried to call my number twice and I never got anything. No ring and nothing in my call log.

I'll have to see if it happens on 3.1 at all.
[G1 Android Development] raven2000:
Am I the only one having serious problems with this ROM? Ever since I have flashed the phone complains so and so process is not responding and it lags so much that its frustrating to use.

Anyone have any idea why I am experiencing these problems?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] PSP_Hacker:
Stability

I can't have any problems with my phone tomorrow, so I will temporarily use KingKlick's Hero build... I can't believe I'm switching to Hero for stability :P

BTW, it would be great if there were a patch to remove the kernel RAM bump. I want to play Quake 2 and benchmark my G1 :D

I wouldn't suggest any ROM to come with this kernel patch for more RAM... a lot of the GPU's shared memory is lost, and people like me can't try out Quake 2 or play Speed Forge because of graphical corruption =D
[G1 Android Development] AshTR:
No problems so far for me but one.

The regular Android keyboard introduced in 1.5 still doesn't work properly. There's no words except what's in my custom dictionary and sound on keypress still doesn't work.
[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
I think because there is so much demand for both the patched kernel and bfs and the non patched kernel without bfs there should be ways to flash just those.

Example:

Cy 4.1.11.1 was fast but got noticeably slow after about 4 days with no reboots he has BFS in his with no Ram hack. So conclusion is it could be the BFS.

I've switched between this rom and dwang now I'm not saying that one is necessarily better than the other because each have good qualities but I did notice that even though Dwang had no BFS and the Ram hack it was more stable no lag at all unless you have about 15 processes going. Now I ran both roms for 2 days straight installed same apps and then 1 day later installed a theme on both (I know not officially supported themes) and there was a slight lag in switching screens with music going, gv, and touch input and advanced task manager in this rom.

Maybe we could try it without BFS and just the ram hack and test it out I would be happy to test it if you did decide to do it.

Also if you have touch input watch how fast the VK comes up and the buttons have no lag on these roms because of the ram hack.

2 problems: market + random audio

just "upgraded" from CM 4.1.999, and i am sorry to find the two most serious issues i had there exist here also,

1. market app gets "network error". it will occasionally work but mostly it does not. other network apps seem to work fine. market downloads spin forever. seems to be be okay right after a reboot but then gets into this failure state. right now, i attempted a download, and it almost immediately went into a state where it says "download paused", and there it sits. different aspects of the market work at different times. sometimes search doesn't work. sometimes my downloads won't display. very odd.

2. music player will randomly start playing. sometimes it is predictable. when pandora starts playing a new song, it will always happen. it often happens when i connect USB. other times it just happens. plays the current playlist.

this is on t-mobile g1, rooted.
