I hate to have to say this as I think it sounds parental, but please do a search in this thread for wifi. Same goes for any other question that has already been answered, if it hasn't we'll gladly answer it.

And so that this isn't a wasted post I'll go ahead and answer your question. We are waiting on a specific kernel where there is absolutely no ETA. The wlan.ko kernel module is not able to start wifi by itself. Wifi is not on the backburner but seeing as how we don't have the kernel we need we're SOL for now
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
We're not using a motorola compiled kernel, we're using one of the kernels that are being used on all the other android builds. So to answer the question it is built for this kernel but is not what we need to get wifi working.
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
There is also the issue, as I spoke to Barak about that Motorolla does not use a wlan.ko meaning it launches the wifi in an alternate method. This means that using conventional methods wont work unless "forced" which is much harder to do than it seems

Fixed:

Swap (default system swap)

Working on:

Album / Camera issues

GPS
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
twisted is currently cooking, ask him
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
speak of the devil, newest update, lol
[G1 Android Development] gfurr:
Email

Okay, when I go into the Account setups and go to Email. It keeps asking me to enter the Incoming Server and that it cannot be left blank. What should I put in this field?
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Works:

Camera

Working on:

Gallery

Trying one last thing before I have to go to work, but I will post something to play with till I get home.
[G1 Android Development] pabbas:
why don't you search for hotmail incoming server instead of asking for it here. It doesn't have anything to do with ROM development

nice, thanks for your dedication
[G1 Android Development] johnowa636:
BT

Oops Sorry guys, I'm running a G1.
[G1 Android Development] terr:
Running the .77 build on an ADP1 and it seems to be a little laggy (stutters when opening menu or sliding form screen to screen) compared to .76. I'm not sure why but I tried a couple of times after complete wipe and it did the same thing.
[G1 Android Development] jabbawalkee:
Thanks man...what'd you fix if you dont mind me asking?
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
Paid Apps

Power Button (full functionality)

Swap tweaks

A2SD tweaks

Camera tweaks

Gallery tweaks, not sure if he was able to finish Gallery
[G1 Android Development] ComplexMinded:
Im getting a bootloop on twisteds version... anybody else?
[G1 Android Development] persiansown:
But he used E's build as a starting base and he lost the LED fix.
[G1 Android Development] terr:
I did. Went back to .76 which is more stable on my phone.
[G1 Android Development] pabbas:
camera still not working for me
[G1 Android Development] PsychoKilla666:
ya, havent tried any of the recent ones
[G1 Android Development] persiansown:
Why .76 over .77?
[G1 Android Development] dotdevil:
.77 work fine on the mt3g.... no bluetooth,no power off, no wifi, and rotating screen, no pictures....... other than that.... smooth very fast...
[G1 Android Development] terr:
I tried .77 and that seems a little laggy too. .76 has been the fastest most stable ROM I have tried (and I have tried all of them).

.76 needs swap and setcpu but runs fast. The only thing that is still an issue with all the roms (including 76) is sometimes my phone doesn't ring when a call comes in but registers a missed call.

Maybe I will play around with 77 to see if I can get it to work.
[G1 Android Development] brybam:
Just putting it out there so people know...

P.7.7 on my G1

GPS works

LED works
[G1 Android Development] Syl538:
On my G1 GPS doesnt work. but the location using the wireless network does
[G1 Android Development] persiansown:
.77 should fix the fail call problem because it has the copybit fix. and brybam: GPS does not work.

The copybit fix fixes problems with things on the screen. if you use it, you will notice that anything that requires a redraw on the screen works faster (the soft keyboard for example).

For all intensive purposes, .77 SHOULD be faster than .76... dunno why it may not seem like that.
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Gonna guess you never took it past the boot screen to find out I put my led fix in from hero. They worked fine for me.

Like I said I was just throwing it out there for now. Gps and camera fixes tonight after work. Didn't have time
[G1 Android Development] persiansown:
You are correct sir. My mistake for assuming. I saw the E bootscreen and the fast that the LED was stuck on and just guessed you didn't have time to put in an LED fix. I apologize.
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
All good. I only used that build as a base. The boot image is bfs 303. Apps are .76 and dump for now. Libs are a mix. Scripting from hero. I started there to save the time of fixing Bluetooth and because market was a build.prop issue. Camera and gps are easy fixes, well at least camera.
[G1 Android Development] brybam:
sounds good twisted! You planning on starting your own thread for your own motoblur rom? or just gonna keep updating in this post?

edit: just curious, think getting the vibrate to work will be an easy task?
[G1 Android Development] Kazan22:
So what should I call this new build? V T.8?
[G1 Android Development] meff0d:
On every version above 0.5r2 I have gotten the error

"Error Signing Into account

The phone radio is unable to connect to the network.Make sure the radio is on or if it is on,move into better coverage area and try again"

whenever trying to login to my motoblur account. My radio and SPL are updated and fine, I have no idea what the issue is, does anybody know of a solution?
[G1 Android Development] freaktractor:
hmmmm...

no bt for me

and the power off doesnt work either

tweets hardly come in

uuuuggghhhhh!
[G1 Android Development] br3tty:
Twisted's latest rom installs fine, but then doesn't boot up on a G1 after wipe.
[G1 Android Development] Kazan22:
It seems every person has different issues with this ROM, I haven't had any really.
[G1 Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
I can confirm the power button also doesn't power down the phone ( I have a MT3G)
[G1 Android Development] freaktractor:
ooops...i so need to update my signature

bt and power down not working on my g1
[G1 Android Development] dotdevil:
Email's

Not that to many people would care... but all of the roms loaded fine for me on the mt3g.... but another problem i noticed is that when you try to delete an email by pressing the little trash icon.... the whole email screen closes.... no codes displayed..... i've tryied most builds but the t-8..... i will try that now.... but if possible.... please let me know if anyone is getting this problem... other than that.... i love all the efforts to make this build possible... with out yall my g-phones would have been long goneeeeee....
[G1 Android Development] br3tty:
Are you running the latest Twisted ROM?
[G1 Android Development] joe v:
with a clean wipe i tryed to load twisted's on my G1 but coulden't get past the ram hack i let sit for a good 15 min. i swear..:p GPS FIX SWEET!!!:)
[G1 Android Development] freaktractor:
ummmm....v7.7

not sure who developed it...lol!
[G1 Android Development] br3tty:
Thanks :)

Cool, seems likes an issue for G1 users.
[G1 Android Development] Hixin:
downloadin and flashing T8 as we speak, will report back :cool:
[G1 Android Development] evilone1969:
I know GPS isnt working yet, quick question though... do you know if wireless locations (using network) is working so we can use flip clock / weather widgets etc?

thnx alot for all ur time and work :)
[G1 Android Development] BombaMyte:
Looks like G1's don't like T.8; mine boot loops time and again... :(
[G1 Android Development] Hixin:
looks that way about g1's and T8

i just get black and white horizontals, then a moto logo, then loops

any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] CleverJake37:
could we get the first post updated with the minimum radio and spl required to run blur?
[G1 Android Development] Kazan22:
If one of the Devs could post this info I shall do so.
[G1 Android Development] br3tty:
hey man, the info is on the thread at htcpedia if you wanna grab it from there.
[G1 Android Development] Hixin:
pretty much same as for any other rom

Radio : 2.22.19.26I - Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I

SPL : 1.33.2005

EDIT ::

Just tried the 77, anyone else find it annoying that it decided to sync all your facebook friends to your phonebook and DIDNT do any smart checking to see if there were duplicates?

Now ive gotta go through and delete all the duds :(
[G1 Android Development] eugene373:
If you want, you can link my latest build here, hope twisted gets gps and Camera fixed. I haven't had much time to play with blur at all today.
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Most of the issues come because people are updating from other ROMs or have not used a version of this that is all a2sd. just get into console and rm -r system/sd/app_s before install. No more loops
[G1 Android Development] persiansown:
You need dangerspl for Blur.
[G1 Android Development] Hixin:
tried a full ext format and didnt solves loops

came from cyan 9999

wiped, repartitioned, pretty much clean sd card, still had no joy

7.7 worked fine though, just hated the facebook stuff messing with my contacts, speed wise spot on, felt quite good, but needs alot of work i reckon =/
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
I can agree. I always do a full backup (Backup for root and Nandroid). Then format Ext, Fix ext., wipe....all that before installing experimental roms. The newest Twisted Blur still boot looped. Weirdest thing is that I formatted earlier, went back to Cyanogen. Then when I formatted and ran this rom it showed the last screen I was on when I was using the prior release. How exactly does it remember that and where is it reading it from? Once we get a stable without format command in update should be no problem. Just simple update.
[G1 Android Development] Hixin:
probably just crap in the video buffer, think tearing in win xp id imagine
[G1 Android Development] kilaclwnjuggalo:
so t 8 dont work on g1 rite?
[G1 Android Development] Hixin:
t8 boot loops on g1, advisable not to flash it
[G1 Android Development] mrfrenchfry:
"V T.8 LATEST ROM"

Doesn't work for me also. G1 here. Wiped flashed. Boot loop.
[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
I was seeing similar behavior between flashes of .76, I'd flash, get to the setup screens and it would freak out so I'd reboot into recovery and wipe/flash again and then see the screen I was last on for a hot second before the blur boot animation popped up. I also would get momentary flashes of the last active screen after reboots. very strange.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Looks like you forgot to clear you dalvik-cache before you installed this rom. This ROM is also missing some htc libraries as is apparent in your log. These could easily be copied from any other HERO rom
[G1 Android Development] TechKing1987:
SO Version 8 is not working in g1 how about MT3g anyone?:cool:
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
**Edit**

Ya v8 def does not load on the G1. Definitely a kernel incompatibility or kernel module incompatible. Drops to a dead shell on loading of the kernel if you have adb logcat running. I would recommend against flashing it until it is made compatible with the G1.
[G1 Android Development] adamjsays:
I cant seem to find any xml in any of those apks. Does anyone know where the vibrate files are located? Ive been blindly looking around but with no luck so far. Any help is appreciated...I really miss the vibrate feature for when I'm at work.
[G1 Android Development] Wii60:
Hmmm...maybe we should take .8 off the post until it works? This is the Dream forum after all. It can go over to Sapphire.

Not to diminish Twisted's awesome work, of course.
[G1 Android Development] toolbox123:
Damn, seems like every time I get on here there are three new different versions of this rom.... I guess we don't have to worry about it going cold!

Good work guys.
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
Just wait until 1.0, anything before it is beta with bugs.

.8 does not work with my G1. Loaded, boot then Shutdown with Hero home screen background(blurry), strange,,,,
[G1 Android Development] Kazan22:
After a weird turn of events, I have my G1 back and no longer have my MT3G, but only for a short time, then I will have a Motorola Cliq. So I have yet to test T.8 on my G1, I have fixed almost all problems by Wipe, wipe ext, wipe Dalvik/cache, Wipe phone again, flash. And I updated the front post.

I've had a very busy day so I didn't have time to update earlier
[G1 Android Development] icpeanuts:
For MotorolaBlur, Is there anyway to make the message widget to view all emails in the Widget format instead of just new emails?
[G1 Android Development] Kazan22:
I haven't seen anything like that so far, altho I haven't messed with it too much
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
I tested v8 by:

flashing new boot.img

pushing:

/system/bin/enhance

/system/bin/moto.conf

/system/bin/a2sd

/system/bin/vold

/system/bin/toolbox

/system/etc/fstab

/system/init.rc

/system/modules/modules.sqf

/system/xbin/*

/data/init.rc

removing:

/system/bin/swap

/system/bin/user.conf

This is all off the top of my head so I probably missed a few things that I actually pushed over. I did not push any framework files as I wanted to stick with the blur framework files, I already had the correct system/lib files so didn't need any of those. My build.prop is correct so didn't need his.

The result was a kernel that would not boot. The purpose of this post is to show everyone that a wipe/flash won't help if even pushing the core changes in this build didn't work.

As a dev I just check for changes in new builds and push those rather than flashing a whole new build. Anyone who uses Linux knows how to check for newer files :)
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
Can you point me to some resource so I can learn how to check for newer files? I would much rather update builds in this way as well.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
http://www.ubuntu.com
[G1 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
you missed a LOT... Oh well...

I guess a wipe (which doesnt touch the actual files on the sd itself) is supposed to be the same as actually going to the sd folder and removing the files. When going from one build to a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PHONE's build, you do need to wipe. This is because the sign-in data is going to be different, despite being named the same to the device. You also need to actually remove the system/sd/app_s folder. Not just the link. "It doesn't work on the G1" because people are used to the post boot a2sd on new builds. This has the same integration of a2sd as Hero did. Either way, I will save my updates. Good luck all.
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
I know what Linux is; I have a Ubuntu machine that I use for things that Windows can't do. I thought that you could give some insight into a way to compare and contrast file versions in an easier way than manually looking at file versions in a file manager. Obviously, that is beyond anything that you are willing to provide, so never mind. Thanks anyway, I do appreciate your contributions to the community.

Drizzy's roms

I found this and I thought it might be useful for anyone looking for Drizzy's roms

http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=drizzy/ROM/

As far as I can tell it has all of his roms from the last few months including motobulur.7.signed.zip

Hope this helps you all
[G1 Android Development] eugene373:
Just wait, Done with my Hero, working on a Blur Rom atm, waiting to hear back on the Script I need. Then will be uploading it shortly.
[G1 Android Development] sacredsoul:
What goodies will it have? And is it a no-wipe upgrade from 0.7? :o
[G1 Android Development] eugene373:
Yes you need to Wipe, as far as goodies. IDK yet. Not tested it, still waiting on the Script edit ( Have an Ideal ), but not sure,,,,,,,,,,, so until then I'm holding off flashing it. Should be soon, there on there way home from work so be shortly.
[G1 Android Development] sacredsoul:
Alright thanks man!
[G1 Android Development] widezu69:
I just received my Magic and haven't rooted it yet and it still has stock. After I root my Magic, am I able to just install your upcoming new one over just cupcake? Or do I have to install something else
[G1 Android Development] yeticomes:
But why is 0.7 so much faster than 0.6?!

I did not wipe from Eugenes 0.6 and just changed build.prop because of Google Sync and it is a big difference in speed.

Also when I take a look into the zip of 0.7 there are no double apps etc, I can not find a system/app?!

Did you rm system/sd before flashing this ROM?
[G1 Android Development] .PaNiNi.:
my google sync works just not my gmail so i setup my gmail thru the email
[G1 Android Development] eugene373:
hasthe 107mb ram hack Kernel
[G1 Android Development] yeticomes:
ok - will you use it too?
[G1 Android Development] eugene373:
not likely, at least not till it's stable.
[G1 Android Development] eugene373:
Okay, just got ahold of the .7 That drizzy did, BT is not working, so not sure how he could post that it was fixed. This is on a MT3G however, unsure about G1 users.

I'll give him credit for the Port, but He used all my damn Fix's ( So called anyways ). HTC_IME, Cam, and the SU repair that I was asking @cyanogen on twitter about. Repairing su in a2sd. Though he moved ( Chmod 04755 /system/bin/su to the init.sh file, Hmmm.... okay did he do anything other than Port? http://twitter.com/eugene373/status/4898053343 Check time stamp, was way before he Released .7 that night!! A day before to be exact, Just didn't have the Time to Test it...

Want to thank twisted for the a2sd.... After a Few Tests with the Kernel, it seems pretty stable and Fast, so thank you Barak for that ( Really thank you ), Awesome Job!!!

Playing with the a2dp files now, with a set of working one's.

I'll Post shortly once I have a solid build.
[G1 Android Development] pllexx:
i understand this are not going the way most of us wanted it... but IMO, i think we should think about how we will continue 4rm where he left off,

Dirrzy disappointed all of us, but his Blur rom did'nt,

am still running v.6, and ofcos, i can't power off my phone the normal way,

wifi is not working

BT if is not working

video gallery is not working

picture gallery is not working

camera/camcorder is not working, and i think it is the same in v.7

but all in all the rom is cool, and am tired of hero rom, is there any fix's out there???
[G1 Android Development] AGx-07_162:
I ended up switching off this ROM but when I did use it Google Sync worked perfectly and the ROM was snappy for the most part. Opening Apps through Widgets was very slow though.
[G1 Android Development] problem1:
how is this even more defective than 0.6 lol
[G1 Android Development] pabbas:
It's working on my Magic
[G1 Android Development] eugene373:
Magic has worked since the updated firmware, that's no news there.
[G1 Android Development] ahmad.yousry:
its sad how someone can turn from hero to villian in a sec

still majorly excited anout this rom and will be rooting for the next developer to jump onboard the Blur train
[G1 Android Development] tuto0503:
cant wait for this rom to be fully funtioning:D
[G1 Android Development] JAWheat411:
Did I miss something? Alot of negative energy here. I seen your twitter and was looking forward to your update.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Sorry responded when I only had literally like 30 seconds to respond as I was on my way to a meeting at work. Didn't mean for that to come out the wrong way.

I use md5sum to check for differences between files. Open a terminal window in ubuntu, cd to the root directory of the newer build, run the following command

find . -type 'f' | xargs -I {} md5sum {} >/tmp/sums.txt

Then cd to the root directory of the older build and run the following

md5sum -c /tmp/sums.txt 2>/dev/null | grep -v OK

This will give you a list of all files that have been modified/added in the newer build. Again, I wasn't being a prick with my response. I just barely got out of that long ass meeting.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Hey Twisted my post wasn't meant to be the line-by-line manifesto for upgrading to your build without wiping. As others had done complete ext2/ext3 formats and recovery data wipes and still had issues, I was only helping those out by letting them know it wasn't them that was the issue.

A person can only do a full ext2/ext3 & data wipe so many times before they begin wondering why they are cursed and can't get the new ROM to load. Anyone's help is greatly appreciated and everyone should be expected to receive constructive criticism. I in no way "downed" your work and no one is "shunning" your ROM.

Feel free to continue to contribute or not. That is the beauty of the open source community, no one is required to contribute but the only way for progress to occur is for everyone to collaborate. Hope that explained my post and others' posts as well.
[G1 Android Development] droiddv:
Sorry if I offend anyone. I did not have time to read the entire thread. Is this rom fast? I want to try it out, but I am a speed freak so if it lags I do not want to try it at this time. I understand devs do not like people posting bull**** questions, I feel this is legit, just a simple yes or no would surfice. Thanks
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Speed is relative. So if you're comparing to cupcake then no. If you're comparing to Hero then yes.
[G1 Android Development] Dyonas:
Having used most of the latest Hero builds around here I'd have to disagree with that. I've used the 0.7.7 build in this thread and while it's relatively fast the graphics performance is, understandably, very low currently. I know it's a low priority right now while things are worked on and it might be faster than Hero eventually but right now it isn't.

Graphics score in the Benchmark app on market gave me around 32~ for example.
[G1 Android Development] andrews240:
No offense taken; I can appreciate your situation. Thanks for the extremely helpful response! You are truly one of the best.
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Which app are you using? I'll give it a whirl on my build. I don't release any work I do as a whole, I just submit bug fixes here so anyone who wants to apply it to their build and release it can. I have a lot of customized work on the build I'm running.
[G1 Android Development] Fuskand:
Well, after playing with .8 for 4 hours on my MT3G, I've come to the conclusion that it's still abit chunky, even with setCPU set to max (528mhz).

Love it though, but it's not quite ready for primetime.
[G1 Android Development] brybam:
Just like that? you're going to stop making updates? Don't be so dramatic he wasn't trying to say anything bad about you. Lets just carry on.
[G1 Android Development] sxfx:
Ok,

So I finally fired up my linux box, and completly formatted my ext 3 partition and installed .7

At first everything seemed perfect until I finished the whole initial setup and it asked me if I want to use advance launcher or home.

So Naturally I selected home and the FC galore on com.motorola.blur.home began.

Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] shafty023:
Did you remember to do a data wipe of /data & /system and that includes dalvik-cache & your ext2/ext3 partition? If so then you wouldn't have advanced launcher b/c .7 doesn't come with it :P
[G1 Android Development] joe v:
Lol yeah I was thinking the same thing advanced launcher !! When did this happen lol. .
[G1 Android Development] persiansown:
Shafty can I gchat you later? I'm trying to tackle a few of the smaller fixes and could really use your help.

Thanks.
