[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
10MB and maps versions getting upped now im guessinng?
[G1 Android Development] tuffCookie:
seems that the download link is to androidspin and it provides the various versions.
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Yea just made it a bit clearer
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Personally, I would delete /sdcard/audio

I symlinked the media folder on the data partition to system

This makes it faster to play ringtones/notifications/etc to hopefully do better about incoming calls
[G1 Android Development] djn541:
wesgarner, you are the man. this smokes all other roms that I've tried!!! Keep up the good work:D:D
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
lol thanks, cross your fingers for no bugs - 8 builds later lol
[G1 Android Development] djn541:
My first boot coming from 8.2 was about 3-4 minutes.
[G1 Android Development] tuffCookie:
i just flashed 8.3 and i actually timed it (watching clock). it took under 3 min from reboot to the "Welcome to T-Mobile..." android setup screen. :cool:

a bug i experienced so far

- right after finishing setup, the "Advanced Launcher" and "Home" option appeared and i got a FC.

"The application Setup Wizard (process com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

everytime i hit "force close", the same FC message pops up again after 1-2 seconds. this same FC error was endless until i finally selected either "Advanced Launcher" or "Home"
[G1 Android Development] ebg10:
Wipe?

I am coming from 8.2r2.2. If i want to update to 8.3r1, do i have to wipe?
[G1 Android Development] djn541:
wesgarner, you're killing me with all these rapid updates! LOL. j/k. again, you are the man!!!;):D
[G1 Android Development] SimonNWalker:
Looking good man.

Can't wait to try the next release! What more can be done?
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Still looking at working on a SmartA2SD

Wish the dev of Power Manager would get back to me about some root options for it - no luck

Build my FixApps app for fixing problems

Plus I need suggestions!
[G1 Android Development] iluvmymytouch:
:DWOOT WOOT:D I finally got it to work... I upgraded my SPL and the recovery
[G1 Android Development] sagementor:
Where is this media folder located? I want to make sure I have my ringtone in this folder.
[G1 Android Development] sagementor:
8.3r1 = 8.3r0 ??
[G1 Android Development] jOrOdee:
wesgarner what battery widget do you use bro?
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I always copy the audio folder from the Cyan post onto my SD card since he only includes like a few sounds in his rom. Do I no longer have to do that with your version and should I delete the audio folder that's on my SD Card right now?

Wondering the same thing.
[G1 Android Development] PlzHELP!:
No wipe is needed.
[G1 Android Development] saywhat4118:
help

so is there anyway i can get stericson's lockscreen in this rom?
[G1 Android Development] jerbarton:
This has become my favorite rom series!

Thanks, WG. Even with a few bumps along the way I still like this the most. I tend to run too many apps at once on my G1 (well, that's a matter of opinion I guess) and this seems to handle it very well.

Stericson's lock screen would be icing on the cake (er... donut), but I'm totally happy with just the donut.

Gonna look back at top post, hoping there's a donate link in there :)

EDIT: Yep! Sent ya five bucks. Not a lot but hope it helps :)

Feedback

I have none of the following problems, so I'll stay on 8.2 R2.2

problems with random reboot (only RAM Hack is affected)

problems with wrong contact images

freezing problems

Mhh, maybe I will update anyway and install the app's afterwards ...^^

Will the build.prop be re-added? Because it worked fine for me in Europe :)

+1 for Stericson Lockscreen :)

BFS is available :D

[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I just noticed the market icon is the old 1.6 icon and not the 2.0 version like the rest of the apps. Is that just me? Also, Google maps is still asking me to update in the merketplace, although this latest flash puts me at 3.3.1. Any ideas?
[G1 Android Development] lexknight:
What Partions do you use with this rom????

Hi just wondering how to set the partions with this rom??? fat32/ext2,3,4???/linux.swap ????

Also, how do you install this.... wipe, install the WG-Build83r1-OrigRAM.zip, then WG-Build83r1-RAMHack.zip over top of that, then WG-Build83r2Incr-RAMHack.zip, over top of that one.... sorry, just want to make sure I follow the right steps to make it all work right.... and do I wipe, or actually reboot between those???

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] ID#:
You have to use the recovery to make partitions. I recommend [Recovery] RA

Pleas go to this thread with questions about partitions and recovery-images and so on...

Nope, you just have to chose ONE of them!
[G1 Android Development] tuffCookie:
Steps to Install

1) pick either WG-Build83r1-OrigRAM.zip or the WG-Build83r1-RAMHack.zip

2) boot into recovery and wipe

3) install/flash one of the roms from step 1 above

3) if you choose the RAM Hack version, flash the WG-Build83r2Incr-RAMHack.zip AFTER flashing the WG-Build83r1-RAMHack.zip

4) reboot and have fun :)
[G1 Android Development] lexknight:
What Partions are needed???

Fat32/Ext ?/linux swap... or just one big partion?

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] djluis48:
Fat32/Ext2,3,4/Linux Swap <- Some people recommend not to use more than 96 or 128mb in Linux Swap...

You can make it with Amon Ra recovery...
[G1 Android Development] sagementor:
My G1 would become very slow when its 98MB swap partition is about full. It seems the system does not actively kill some background applications automatically...
[G1 Android Development] zeppelin481:
It's based off of Cyan, and he has the old icon.
[G1 Android Development] sagementor:
how does YouTube Downloader work? it always got this error

"an error occurred retrieving the youtube video download information. are you sure it was a video link you clicked on?"

what happen?
[G1 Android Development] barbeito:
Ok what are the partions needed for a MT3G/Sapphire?
[G1 Android Development] philicibine:
3g super slow

has anyone noticed a slow 3g download speed with this rom??

its so slow that its quicker to download thru gprs (2.5g).

what can i do about this???
[G1 Android Development] djluis48:
There are apps in the market that does that for you....:)
[G1 Android Development] ID#:
And finally, AdFree works :D

I've made my "own" ROM, with BFS and faster DATA-connection.

I also deleted some app's and updated some...

It works fine with BFS!!! :D
[G1 Android Development] sagementor:
I know how to kill applications / tasks manually. Are there apps to do it automatically? Please give me the names. Thank you!
[G1 Android Development] sagementor:
Is 8.3r1 = 8.3r0 ??

Do I need to flash 8.3r1 before 8.3r2 if I upgrade from WG-Build83-RAMHack?
[G1 Android Development] djluis48:
Download 8.3r1 RamHack, and then Apply 8.3r2...

Taskiller does it "manually", by manually i mean adding a Widget to the Home, and just click it to kill apps (this one is the one i use)....there is this app in the Market, Automatic Task Killer, havent installed this one, just read the comments of both, but dont let them decide for you, try each app and see wich one suits you better...some ppl says that Taskiller freezes a lot and you need another task killer to kill it, but in my phone, it does works REALLY good, havent had one freeze...try them both, they are free, you cant lose anything...xD

Im getting an error, well a FC must say, when installing some apps from the Market. This happens with Twidroid, AndNav1 and some others apps wich i dont remember the name...but i have installed mu other apps correctly...its very weird...lol
[G1 Android Development] djlenny51:
hey i ran into a problem when i tried installing an app

i installed it and when i opened it it kept force closing, so restarted my g1, but now the app is not in the launcher and i cant delete or install it from the market, the options are grayed out, any ideas or help???
[G1 Android Development] swivel:
It seems to me that you might have "broken" the beautiful widgets flip clock with the latest release. It keeps getting stuck and frequently fails to update the time. Anyone else seeing this?
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
I use Advanced Task Manager

It has an auto close every 30min or more
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Send me the apk and I will test it

Are you using Adv Launcher or Regular?

Zip it up and PM me it
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
What's the app?
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Yea no Google Apps included since he got the C&D

If anyone wants to provide me with the new market APK I will upload
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Which version are you running? Intl uses the adjusted settings as some people said it worked better
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
/data/media

I am going to transfer it to the system partition, but I am going to have to require Danger SPL
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
None! It puts all apps on the data partition since it has the space for it
[G1 Android Development] djlenny51:
ohhh the app is meebo
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
It's included in the Intl version (new hacked 3.3.1)
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Going to compile it and post on GIT - gimme a few days
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Battery Widget - Free

I can send you the APK if you want
[G1 Android Development] PlzHELP!:
Ack, is there way I can get the APK
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
It's only a buck - then gotta customize the settings
[G1 Android Development] crypysmoker:
Theres 10 different free task/app managers on the market, it cant be that hard to find one, They all do the same.
[G1 Android Development] barbeito:
Ok so I don't have to make a fat32+ext2+swap partion on the SD card? Just straight fat32? Also I noticed that under

settings->SD Card & phone storage->SD card Secondary:

Total Space

unavailable

Available Space

unavailable

this leads me to believe it is trying to access ext2....is that correct?

thanks for the fast response loving this ROM (I have tried 3 so far and this is the best)
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Use EXT3/4 those work better.
[G1 Android Development] PlzHELP!:
Thanks, and 1 last noob question lol. What's BFS?
[G1 Android Development] barbeito:
Yeah but do i even need that with MT3G.....
[G1 Android Development] PlzHELP!:
No you don't.
[G1 Android Development] scrappyabs2:
Oh, did I miss something? Is the 2g/3g enhanced throughput script only installed on the intl version, not the regular ram hack version?

Just curious, why are regular and intl maps bundled on separate roms? Why not just settle on intl maps for everyone, even if they don't use intl navigation?
[G1 Android Development] barbeito:
So long story short just format my SD card to fat32....I guess that means wipe everything and reinstall the ROM, right?
[G1 Android Development] PlzHELP!:
Yeah you could do that, what recovery image are oyu using?
[G1 Android Development] barbeito:
RA-Dream-v1.2.3
[G1 Android Development] PlzHELP!:
Just do the fat32-ext2-swap it works.
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Yea secondary would be ext
[G1 Android Development] barbeito:
so not to sound dense I would need to format my sd card with ext or ext2 instead of pure fat32 on a MT3G
[G1 Android Development] sagementor:
Downloaded "TaskPanel". It is pretty good!!
[G1 Android Development] swivel:
Hey, if we're using a MyTouch 3G, and we were previously running A2SD, does this ROM automatically put our applications back on the device, rather than the card?
[G1 Android Development] swivel:
Grrrrr. This flip clock freezing issue is just annoying as all hell. I have a very hard time believing that nobody else has the beautiful widgets flip clock and has run into the same exact problem. Someone? Anyone? Argh!
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Yup, copies them there
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Did you send me the apk?
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Build 8.5 BETA

Hey I need some BETA testers for 8.5

Shoot me a PM if you are interested
[G1 Android Development] swivel:
Bad ass.

No, I sent you a PM. It's a paid app, and I'm not sure how I can or if I'm really allowed to zip it up for you.
[G1 Android Development] agentkalaw:
Hey Wes!

what an awesome ROM! This is what open source is all about! I was just wondering if you could include the new facebook app (there's a thread in the apps section about it) that's not yet for our phones? Also, is it possible to have the new htc IME included so that we don't have to use the android keyboard in one of the updates? Thanks again.

I'm coming from cynogen 4.2.7.1,I did a full wipe,flashed 8.3r1,then 8.3r2 witout reboot,been on g1 screen for 10 mins,is this normal or did I F'k up?
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
No, you install the update after setting up your phone.
[G1 Android Development] agentkalaw:
Thanks for trying to help me but i was referring to the "newer" facebook (1.1.1) that's not even out on the market. there's a thread on the apps section about it. I know that ppl would eventually add it but i figured as wes updates quite often he should add this newer app sooner. Only as a request of course. Thanks again for telling me to read the OP.
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Sorry, reading the post no one can get it to work
[G1 Android Development] bhilgeman:
Hey man love the Rom but when i applied a theme (darkstar metamorph) it themes the home app and not the advanced laucher... Not sure why anyone wanted a stand alone Advanced Launcher.

Any chance of making a version with advanced Launcher as replacement to home? Thx...

EDIT: Nevermind, I pushed advanced launcher myself and flashed the theme over it and it worked..
[G1 Android Development] Jerzeeloon:
Got it runnin but no gmaps?
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
I dont think it works with his rom because of zipalign and all that other stuff he did.
[G1 Android Development] bhilgeman:
I've been using advanced launcher themed with Darkstar for the last week no prob.

I just pushed it through adb and themed it with Darkstar and all is well...
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Yea it should be there, but the update usually deletes it from the home screen - should be under your app list
[G1 Android Development] bug666:
Sorry to ask a stupid Q, what's different from this than Cyan's? I'm about to get a G1 and would like to root it, now figuring out which ROM to use.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
People are saying this one is faster (10mb hack, zipalign, etc.) and more stable (bug fixes and the like)
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Yeah, I know that, but the previous version of Wes's build, 82.r2, had the new market icon. Is there something different about this market that would give it the new icon, or am I missing something. I like the new droid icons and miss the new flat market icon.

Also, do you guys recommend the using the app DroidSwap for swap, or is swap not even necessary?
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
If you reverted to an older build, it copies the market from the last build you used\

To fix there, erase your /system/app
[G1 Android Development] FiFTYSiX:
Error 404: file not found

./files/wesgarner/ROM/WG-Build83r2Incr-RAMHack.zip was not found on this server.
[G1 Android Development] djn541:
This one is faster and more stable then CM IMHO. the beauty of it all is you can flash anything you want any time and decide what you like and what is right for you! just learn how to back up and everything will be good!:cool:
[G1 Android Development] SimonNWalker:
You could also try using the ROM Release Database on AndroidSPIN.

Most of the ROMs listed also show what features they provide.

This isn't gonna tell you how fast and stable it is, but it's a good place to start.

You can view the latest releases here

Enjoy your rooting :)
[G1 Android Development] 2girls1cup:
the links are down. they don't seem to be working when I try downloading them
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I just flashed 8.3r2 over 8.2r2, no wipe so that wouldn't be the case right? Howver, how do you erase your /system/app, I'm kind of a noob.

And what do you recommend about using swap?
[G1 Android Development] swivel:
Nevermind on the flip clock widget. It looks like I got it working.
[G1 Android Development] tekoholix:
That's all I can seem to get, as well. Damn, these spontaneous reboots are killing me...
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Uploading 8.5 tomorrow sorry!
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:

[G1 Android Development] tvwebguy:
What is the difference between Home and Adv Home Launcher? I assuming that I should be setting one of them as default.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Adv. launcher has a lot more options (how many screens, allows you to hide things from app drawer, and etc.)
[G1 Android Development] tvwebguy:
Thanks. I'll give it a try. I just switched to this rom and now I'm working the bugs out. So far my market and google voice FC. Any ideas? Also, Terminal Emulator has to input method on my mt3g.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Terminal doesn't support vk, you need to use better terminal.
[G1 Android Development] tvwebguy:
That's what I thought. I'm still working on getting the Market to work...:(
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
I'm not sure what directory it is kept in, would you mind telling me where the dalvik-cache folders and the Vending.apk is kept
[G1 Android Development] tvwebguy:
Vending.apk is in the /system/app folder.

According to Wes: "If you run that zip, it will create a symbolic link between /data/dalvik-cache and /system/sd/dalvik-cache making them one in the same. Android will try to pull from /data/dalvik-cache and will auto be routed to the sdcard."

That's about all I know about dalvik-cache.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Look in /system/sd
[G1 Android Development] tvwebguy:
Thanks for your help so far. Should I wipe the dalvik-cache?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
No, if you want to fix it do this

terminal:

rwsystem

mv /system/app/*Vending* /sdcard

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

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

mv /sdcard/*Vending* /system/app

reboot

adb:

same as terminal but add an adb shell at the beginning

recovery console:

same as terminal but change rwsystem to "mount -a"

Use capitals as I put them, and if it gives you an error when removing stuff from dalvi-cache, that's okay. Just skip it and move on
[G1 Android Development] tvwebguy:
No go on the Market app. Still getting a FC with this and GV. I may switchrom back to CM 4.2.7.1 then try reflashing. Could that help out?
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
That might help, sorry for it not working. That's what seems to always fix it for me
[G1 Android Development] ID#:
I cannot install app's from Market any more :S

Every time FC's :S

Someone knows that to do?
[G1 Android Development] tvwebguy:
try post 904 above.
[G1 Android Development] ID#:
rwsystem

This does not work :S

I'll try it with the console.

Edit: Didn't help :(
[G1 Android Development] tvwebguy:
OK. I switchedrom backed to CM 4.2.7.1 then I reinstalled WG 8.3r1. The only thing I did differently was that I didn't wipe the phone prior to flashing the rom. Well, it all works right now. So far, it looks like a blazing fast rom. Thanks JAguirre1231 for your help and thanks to all the devs that make this stuff possible.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
In console you can't use rwsystem, you need to use "mount -a" instead
[G1 Android Development] cheperdumonde:
Great works thans a lot :)

Thanks Xda developpers :cool:
[G1 Android Development] ID#:
I know, but I tried rwsystem in the terminal, with no result. Command cannot be found :o
[G1 Android Development] zimphishmonger:
Ive noticed that the 83 version has a bug where it never remembers the SuperUser settings so it always asks you to accept or decline the root service request. A bug fix for 85?

yup, to fix from 83 open the superuser app
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Adding the rosystem and rwsystem to the new rom
