When you said first backup your apps and format ext2/3, you mean you must re-install them one by one, using adb, or could I paste the backup ext2 folders again after the rom is installed?

Made a backup of ext2 folders, format, install the ROM, and paste again the folders in ext2 is quick and easy, but re-install all apps I have and reconfigure them again is a lot of work.... so I ask :D
[G1 Android Development] ogwilson:
Very stable, fast. Not as many customizations as the other roms but thats what I prefer: allows me to pick and choose what to add.

Been on this rom 18 hrs not one problem and the blur theme is

Awesome great rom
[G1 Android Development] dtbogor:
came from 4.1.11.1 (on Sapphire 32B) , wiped and reformatted 8Gb type 6 SDCard using SDParted script for swap32, ext2 256 and rest FAT32, no ext2 is found.

reformatted again with NO SWAP, ext2 256mb and rest FAT32 , still no ext2 found.

tried again swap 32Mb, EXT4 512Mb, and rest FAT32, still no ext2 found.

Also tried installing apps from the Market to see if that would force APPS2SD to start and the ext2 to be found. still nothing.

have tried looking through this thread and only read one person saying "rebooted and now OK", rebooted several times between each of the above formatting and still no ext2 found.

any ideas? solutions?

cheers

DT Bogor

UPDATE: i think Apps2SD is working as my internal memory stays around 290Mb. It just that after coming from 4.11.1 I noticed that there is no Secondary SD memory mentioned in Settings. I have since read that Cyanogen had a modified Settings app. Is this a possible reason why several are commenting that it isn't working?
[G1 Android Development] shaithis01:
I had an issue with the only program I tried to install from scratch which was Weather Widget.

I'd get an error that the SD card didn't have the write permissions.

My install proceedure was to backup apps and apps-private, delete contents of /system/sd then flash, copy apps and apps-private back over.

Theme giving me headaches too 1.0.8 would freeze at the G1 screen, maybe related to the same permissons issue as mentioned above?
[G1 Android Development] overground:
You can push Advanced Launcher 2.0.1 or 2.1 and they will work. Adjust the homescreen numbers as desired. Copilot works fine.

This is a fast build, I'm not using any userinit. Did not wipe coming from a previous 1.6 build. Thanks.

1 question: If the build from HTC is DRC83, why does this report DRC63?
[G1 Android Development] fenixnr:
Can I update the radio without updating off the HardSPL?
[G1 Android Development] akirah:
Because this one is one released slightly earlier from google. But I can't see difference for now between those builds, except build.prop ;)

Will take a look deeper tonight.

I am trying to install the blurr theme and get stuck at the first boot screen. When I did a logcat it threw up errors relating to the davlik vm. What is the command to delete the davlik cache from the phone so I can try it again? I have already reformatted my ext 3 partition so I just need some help cleaning the davlik cache.
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
Dang this rom broke my Copilot. :(

Just gives errors on Donut.
[G1 Android Development] fenixnr:
go to recovery console

mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

rm -r /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*

This is how to clear the dalvik-cache!
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Copilot has been working fine for me throughout all the various donut releases. The only problem I ran into is when they came out with the upgrade, it wouldn't accept my license key. That was a problem on Copilot's end, which was resolved. Starting up now...."Welcome to Copilot Live"...routes and gives directions fine. Try an uninstall and reinstall of Copilot. That's what I did. I also re-downloaded the maps which takes forever. Avoid that if possible.

Differences between CM experimental and Akirah

Please take these differences with a grain of salt. This is my experience with my device coming directly from CM 4.1.11.1. Please don't read into to this as a slight against Cyanogen or his roms. I'm sure Cy can fix most of these issues once he's done working around google.

Removed and reformatted ext and linux-swap partitions on SD card, wiped, then flashed.

Speed: Seems about the same. No noticeable gains in terms of speed, no loss of speed either. This is based off of a CM kernal, so I'd imagine they should be close.

Phone calls: Now able to receive calls while on a call (very important to me, call waiting never seemed to work with CM 4.1.11.1).

Audio Resources: Audio is no longer glitchy, Audiohack V2 works without issue, ringtones fire right up as opposed to a 1 second delay. I'm sure this is due to where the audio files are kept, if so, I favor quickest method. I'd give up 8 megs of internal storage for the difference in speed.

Browser: No multitouch, to me, no loss. Until the browser is as fast as that of an iPhone, I can do without. My preference. Still waiting on Adobe for flash.

SMS and MMS: All seems fine here. Virtual keyboard is quicker than CM. Maybe it's just me, but no lag.

IM: IM is missing, no biggie. Get eBuddy and get over it. Keep in mind that eBuddy logs you out more often and you're good.

Battery life: Seems a little better than CM, but I need more time to tell.

Overall, this ROM seems great and a step up from CM 4.1.11.1 due to call waiting now working and the audio resource glitches going away.
[G1 Android Development] QDT:
OK

how about:

Advanced Launcher?

Enhanced MMS?

Advanced Phone.apk ?

Any plans for that to get into your MOD?

Thanks buddy ! Can you help me out to get it installed using adb or Terminal Emulator ( would appreciate this ) cuz I am a total noob. Thanks in advance
[G1 Android Development] overground:
Put Phone.apk on your sd card. In terminal type:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mdtblk3 /system
install /sdcard/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk
reboot

I have not tested this, but if that version of Phone.apk is compatible with this build, this will work.

You can put the Advanced Launcher in yourself. This, I have tested to be working. Just go to that thread and get v 2.1 replacement, then follow the instructions in the links to my themed versions in the OP.

EDIT: I could be wrong, but I think Akirah only intended this to be a fast, stable donut. I think most customization will be left to user preference.
[G1 Android Development] osho741:
i got a lot of force closes with the enchanced mms, maybe the mms app needs to be tweaked a little bit. i just installed it as a normal .apk with package installer.

I added the modified phone.apk to my Blur theme and it appears stable after a couple hours of use. If you dont like it my version 1.08 is basically the same just without the new phone.apk

[G1 Android Development] overground:
I don't know if it's even compatible, but the problem I see with installing it that way is it will install to /system/sd/app or /data/app, when I think you are supposed to replace the Mms.apk in /system/app with it. When I've replaced the Mms in other builds, it was as simple as

adb remount
adb push Mms.apk /system/app/Mms.apk
[G1 Android Development] Redeye:
Feed back from the first day ....

Coming from Cyanogen's Mod - 4.1.11.1, I wiped and formatted before flashing.

So far everything has been pretty stable and speedy! As mention earlier I to am missing the IM icon in the launcher yet I see it when manageing apps.

It looks as if the bluetooth a2dp bug exists in this rom.

The issue of reconnecting has for the most part been fixed. For details read CynogenMod project page.

Have you seen this and already on top of it?

Keep up the great work.

I just noticed my phone rebooting so that's not good.
[G1 Android Development] shaithis01:
ROM appears to be functioning fine. I did get a "not enough space" message trying to install an app but a reboot allowed me to do it again and complete it.

I can't the the theme to work though. Freezes up at the G1 screen.
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
well this rom is PRETTY AWESOME, faster than cyanogen's, yeah im been using it since 2 days with blur theme, oveclocked, and really fast .

but just one thing, the power control thing doesnt work :S i do not know if its me or its just that it doenst work, i add the widget and then when i press to go off on gops and sync it just stays on :S and if i wanna turn on the wifi. bluetooth, or w/e it just doesnt do it .

what its going on ? xD

but, really nice rom, congrats !!
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
I don't know if it's the same with this ROM as Cyanogen's 4.11.1 but I had that exact same issue too. I don't know why but a reboot fixed it, assuming you've just flashed and haven't rebooted since then. Perhaps some temporary file that isn't created or something? I have no idea, I just know that worked for me and with this being Donut based it might be the same.
[G1 Android Development] gtrplr71:
seems to be ok on mine tried each function 5 times.

Can you help me please =)

So i have just tried to install this ROM and i got a problem but before that

I wiped my system clean

I then ran the file

Installed with success

Then i rebooted

Ok so yeah, but the thing is, after the whole boot process, it takes me to a black screen and nothing happens.

I have Cyanogens 1.4 Recovery image and i doubt thats the problm

Any advice? thank you =)

Works great! I came from cyanogen v4.1.11.1, deleted everything in the /system/sd/ folder, wiped, and flashed. It seems faster than v4.1.11.1 and more stable, I just wish it had 5 screens build in cause Advanced launcher always seems to slow performance a bit.

Stericson Lockscreen for blur users

Hi all,

Here is my stericson lockscreen that I am currently using. This is for the blur theme as the images and aminations in the framework have been replaced with those from blur.

This is stercison lockscreen 0.5, and still has the black transparency as the original. Bootscreen is cyanogenmod- as all I have done is change the framework themeing.

I currently use this on blur theme, just flash as normal.

I have no problems, but take no responsibilty for bootloops!

Nandroid before you try this. Hope you enjoy.

akira, you may want to add this to the first post?

EDIT: wont let me upload an attachment, I'm at work so will have to do this later :(

[G1 Android Development] Algernon:
Things are running pretty good for me now. Initially I wiped the ext3 partition & did a system wipe before updating and all was good. After I tried to manually push the advanced Phone.apk I started having a conflict (I think) between it and Easy Dial. The phone would crash every time I tried to make a call. After that I did a system wipe and re-updated Akirah's ROM then Brandenk's Blur 1.10 theme (with the advanced Phone.apk) but I'd get the black screen after the Android logo.

Wiped out the ext3 partition again and reloaded everything except Easy Dial and the phone seems to be working fine now.

Hi friends

I'm looking for diamond music recognition program running stable you know Do you? I ask, but 5 days to install shazam music id want a subscription site and redirects it does not work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Shasarak:
I'm looking at the Skyfire website, specifically the supported screen resolutions here: http://www.skyfire.com/support

Now, we all know that if you run Skyfire on the TP2, which is a WVGA device, the app runs at WQVGA resolution (i.e. 400x240) and then pixel-doubles to fill the screen. This is what makes it look like blurry, pixellated crap. The support page confirms this.

However, according to the support page, it runs at native resolution on a VGA screen (i.e. one that is 640x480 rather than the TP2's 800x480). Is there any way to get Skyfire to run at 640x480 on a TP2 by convincing it that it's running on a VGA device? Has anyone got this working? Does it look better?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Joe Pinball:
As Always, search is your friend! this is covered in the "Software worth installing on the TP2" sticky in Rhdium themes, applications and software forum.

Try running WVGAfix whcih sets the device to 640 x 480 first (WVGAfix courtesyt of sino8r ) then running SkyFire.

hope this helps,

Joe
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Shasarak:
With all due respect (and the amount of respect due in this case, I'm afraid, is not very great) no: it is not. There is some discussion of WVGAFix in that thread, but I was aware of that, and it's not what I was asking. What I wanted to know was whether or not anyone had successfully used WVGAFix to get Skyfire to run without looking like pixellated crap. Having now tried it, it appears the answer is probably "no".

What with this and your equally useless "tip" on how to supposedly get the zoombar working in Opera 9.7 you've wasted a good half-hour of my time this evening; to patronise me by giving me a lecture on using the search facility really is adding insult to injury. May I respectfully request that the next time I ask a question you don't reply unless you actually know what the answer is?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tarroyo:
I believe what your refering to is True VGA, which is on the roadmap but has not been released just yet
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Protonus:
Unfortunately, even at VGA 640x480, Skyfire pixel doubles from QVGA. They are planning to up the native resolutions, but I'm not sure when. I'm on the Alpha and Moderator teams so I'd know long before most. Unfortunately due to the way skyfire operates (streaming the data from their server to yours), doubling the resolution means doubling the data transmitted and with framerate already being an issue with current server load on public servers, this would currently result in it being unusable for video etc. I do know they are working on improving infrastructure and capabilities heavily so my best recommendation is to simply keep an eye on the forums etc
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Shasarak:
Then I wish Skyfire would update their support page: it explicitly says that it runs at "VGA" resolution and not "QVGA".

http://www.skyfire.com/support
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MarketMonk:
I think raising the resolution from QVGA to VGA would approximately quadruple the data rate. Unfortunately, I've been unable to use Skyfire in any sensible fashion for the last few months. Maybe it's down to the time of day when I try to connect but it takes minutes before any pages load up and so is not useable. I've still not investigated how they make their money - perhaps by selling your browsing habits, but that's off topic.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Protonus:
It doesn't actually say what you're implying, it says that it supports the resolutions listed, which they do. Prior to them adding support, it wouldn't even run properly on anything higher then QVGA. Unfortunately, that support, was by pixel doubling etc to run on existing infrastructure. It doesn't state on the page that they render pages at the native resolutions they support - just simply that they support them. I think your gripe, or rather your misunderstanding, is stemming from the typo where they call 800x480 - "WQVGA". That's just a typo, it should say "WVGA" without the Q. I'm sending them a memo on it now and I'm sure it will be fixed shortly.

You're correct I'm sure that it would be more then double the bandwidth, I'm sure there is simple math to figure out exactly how much and I know that's been discussed on the forums. Regardless, the bandwidth needed is beyond what the infrastructure and technology is currently capable of supporting. However, I have seen Skyfire going way back to alpha .6 when it was running incredibly fluid, and they have come a long way with developing their technology, I am confident they will be able to handle the task at some point. As you noted, Skyfire has slowed down since the beta went public. I've had the honor of running off dedicated alpha servers before for a handful of people at most, and I can tell you that I'm sure it's just a matter of popularity. To handle that additional load they keep adding new servers and infrastructure etc, and I'm sure that is why they are doing things in stages to keep things usable.

As far as their ability to generate profit, you are of course assuming that they even are producing revenue at this time. As with most infant technologies there is a point where a company must run off it's own cash to get started before they can turn a profit. Last I heard the two ways they were intending to generate revenue was off their start page, by ad and service placement (you'll notice a fair amount of work as of late has been done primarily to the start page) - and in the form of technology and usage licenses, like how Opera is licensed and used by HTC etc. If the browser is very successful in concept and widely loved then manufacturers will want to stamp their name on it and include it out of the box with their products etc. Again, that's off in the future for now.
